products)
NA lURE OF REQUEST
A. Edward Testa, President of Amerope Enterprises, Inc., and property owner of lot 16, block
2 of the "Cedar Ridge, a PUD and High Ridge Commerce Park, a Pion, is requesting a use
approval for wholesale distribution of x-ray and nuclear shielding glass products within the
High Ridge Commerce Park PIO (see attached location map - Exhibit "An). On June 17, 1997,
the city commission granted Amerope Enterprises Inc. a use approval allowing manufacturing
and warehousing of x-ray and nuclear shielding glass products within the PIO. Chapter 2 -
Zoning, Section 7(E) of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations requires that any
use proposed within the Planned Industrial Development (PID) district has to be approved by
the Planning and Development Board and City Commission. To date, the list of permitted
uses within the High Ridge Commerce Park includes the following:
· wholesale and service of turf maintenance equipment
· truck and solid waste container storage
· manufacturing and warehousing of x-ray and nuclear shielding glass products
Recent interest in providing wholesale distribution services within the subject use has
spawned the need to provide rental square footage within the existing facilities to support the
additional-..Jse.
..
BACKGROUND
Unlike other conventional zoning districts, the zoning code does not set forth specific uses
permitted in a PID. Pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7.E., in a PID, a building and its
customary, ancillary structures and land use~ may be erected, altered and occupied for any
office, professional, business (wholesale and retail), educational institution, adult
entertainment (consistent with Section 11.M. of the zoning code) or industrial uses provided
that such use or uses is/are approved by the Planning and Development Board. To approve
such a use, the Planning and Development Board must make findings that the proposed use
will not be in conflict with the performance standards listed in Section 4.N. of the zoning
regulations, and that the use proposed is consistent with the intent and purposes of the

Planned Industrial Development district.
The land development regulations, specifically the Planned Industrial Development (PID)
district guidelines, were designed to provide a zoning classification for light industrial
development that would better satisfy current demands for light industrial zoned lands by
encouraging development that reflects changes in technology, relates the development of land
to a specific site and conserves natural amenities. In addition, it is intended "to accomplish a
more desirable environment for industrial development in relation to existing and/or future city
development, permit economies in providing public services, allow for economies of scale in
industrial development, and to promote the public health, safety, convenience, welfare and
good government of the City of Boynton Beach."
The land use designation of this PID is "Industrial". The Comprehensive Plan allows for the
development of light manufacturing and research and development activities in the industrial
land use category which encompasses the M-1, and the PID, Planned Industrial Development
districts, It should be noted for comparison purposes that wholesale distribution of glass and
glass products are permitted in the M-1 zoning district.
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject request (see Exhibit "An - Location Map).
North
Undeveloped, multi-family portion of Cedar Ridge PUD.
East
Seaboard Airline Railroad right-of-way and farther east is 1-95 right-
of-way.
South
Parking and storage facility for Waste Management of Palm Beach,
zoned M-1.
West
Right-of-way of High Ridge Ro~d and farther west is
unincorporated Palm Beach County.
..
ANALYSIS
The purpose of the City's j)6rformance standards is to ensure that uses will nofbe a nuisance
or hazard to persons, animals, vegetation or property located on adjacent or nearby properties
or right-of-way; or to interfere with the reasonable use or enjoyment of adjacent or nearby
property by reason of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other partiGulate matter; toxic or
noxious matter; odor, glare, heat or humidity; radiation, electromagnetic interference, fire or
explosive hazard, liquid waste discharge, or solid waste accumulation.
The applicant has been asked to provide a response to the Chapter 2, Section 4N.

be created by this uses.
11) Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste: The applicant states that no
hazardous materials or hazardous waste will be created, stored or handled with
the proposed uses.
After reviewing the proposed uses in accordance with the performance standards contained in
Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 4N of the Land Development Regulations, the Technical Review
Committee concurs with the above evaluation provided by the petitioner.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis of the proposed use, it is recommended that the list of permitted
uses within the High Ridge Commerce Park PID be amended to include wholesale distribution
of x-ray and nuclear shielding glass products, subject to Environmental Review and approval
(see Exhibit "e" - conditions of approval).
