BACKGROUND ABC Fine Wines and Spirits is currently preparing a new site plan for this corner (northeast) parcel at Boynton Beach Boulevard and Winchester Park Boulevard. As a part of the application process they are required to seek zoning relief for the proposed driveways due to their proximity to the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Winchester Park Boulevard, and relief from the required number of parking spaces from 45 to 40. (See Exhibit "B" - Site Plan.) ANALYSIS The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Section 11. H. 3 states as follows: "Distance from streets. Parking lot driveways shall be constructed at least thirty (30) feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines along local streets and one- hundred eighty feet along streets of a higher classification. " With existing frontage of 165 feet on Winchester Park Boulevard, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits seeks to place a driveway approximately 146 feet on their parcel north of the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard. As the Land Development Regulations require 180 feet, this would be 34 feet short of the requirement. (PKL V 98-003) There currently exists an existing curb cut to the property on Boynton Beach Boulevard. The location of this proposed driveway is 143 feet east of Winchester Park Boulevard, or 37 feet short of the 180 feet separation requirement, thereby necessitating a second variance. (PKL V 98-004 ) ~ Page 3 Memorandum No. PZ 98-292 ABC Fine Wine and Spirits -staff report In reviewing the above request for a variance from the minimum 180 feet driveway setback, staff reviewed several criteria to determine justification for allowing a variance at this location. This analysis focused on three primary concerns: 1) Lot configuration relative to the 180 feet distance requirement; 2) Availability of adjacent property with which to combine the subject property and add length necessary to meet the driveway setback requirement; and 3) Traffic circulation and safety. The dimensions of the parcel fall short of the 180 feet separation requirement for driveways. Trying to assemble adjacent parcels to negate the need for a driveway variance is also not feasible as adjacent properties are either developed or separated by a canal. And third, a review of the proposed driveway locations by the city's engineering division has determined marginal impact if these variances are granted. This opinion is primarily based on the existence of adjacent medians that would delineate the flow of traffic. Both driveways will be limited to right-in-right-out only. The third request for a variance from the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 11.H.16.d(12) states as follows: "Retail establishments not listed elsewhere: One (1) parking space per two hundred (200) square feet of gross leasable floor area." The applicant's request is to allow for a reduction in the required ratio of one (1) parking space per 200 square feet to one (1) parking space per 225 square feet which represent a reduction from 45 to 40 spaces. The code states that zoning code variances cannot be approved unless the board finds the following: a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. 3 Page 4 Memorandum No. PZ 98-292 ABC Fine Wine and Spirits -staff report d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will be make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. f. That granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter (ordinance) and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. As per the above requirement, the applicant has provided as Exhibits "C" and "0" to show justification for the two variances for the proposed driveway locations and Exhibit "E" for relief from the City's parking ratios - Justification Documents as a statement of special conditions, hardships or other reasons justifying the requested variance. RECOMMENDA liON Staff recommends that the request for a variance to allow a new driveway to be placed on the west side of the property, onto Winchester Park Boulevard, a distance of 146 feet from the intersection (or 34 feet short of the minimum required) be approved. This recommendation is based, in part, on a hardship created by the limited depth of the parcel (165 feet), which precludes the ability to separate a driveway from the intersection by a minimum of 180 feet, and on the benefit of this second driveway. This second driveway is appropriate for the site to minimize congestion at the intersection (a similar argument used in justifying the same request for the Fidelity Federal Bank variance). Staff recommends that the request for a variance to allow the existing driveway on Boynton Beach Boulevard to remain at 143.17 feet from the intersection, a variance of 36.83 feet, be denied. Instead, staff recommends that a variance be granted for a distance not to exceed 21 feet. A hardship does exist, as the length of the lot is less than the 180 feet required to obtain the necessary 180 feet separation. However, the driveway (curb cut) is currently over 20 feet from the side property line, which leaves a minimum of 15 additional feet of potential separation. As the adjacent property is developed for city utility purposes, with a driveway on the east side of the parcel, the subject driveway, relocated within 5 feet of this adjacent parcel should not create any conflicts. It is likely that the applicant has not considered this alternative as it would require state approval and permits. However, as currently stated, this variance request is not the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of this land. Staff recommends that the request for a variance to reduce the minimum parking ratio required from 1 space per 200 square feet to 1 space per 225 square feet be approved. 4- Page 5 Memorandum No. PZ 98-292 ABC Fine Wine and Spirits -staff report This recommendation is based, in part, on the following: the site, proposed with 40 parking spaces, appears to be efficiently and logically designed (staff assumes that the applicant would oppose the further reduction in building size; however, only 40 spaces would be required for an 8,000 square foot building). There are currently no conditions of approval recommended. If conditions of approval are added by the Planning and Development Board and City Commission, said conditions will be listed in Exhibits "F", "G", and "H". xc: Central File J:\SHRDATA\Planning\SHARED\WP\PROJECTS\ABC Fine Wine and Spirits - staff rep.doc ~ LCCA1\ON MAP ABC L\QUORS, \NC. -';,sr,"~~'.

ABC Fine Wine and Spirits seeks to reduce the number of required spaces from forty-five (45) to forty (40), Statement of Special Condit;on~ Hardships or other reasons Justifying the Requested Variance: ABC Fine Wine and Spirits seeks to purchase from Amoco 011 company a .839 acre (36,717 square foot) lot in order to buUd a one-story 9,000 square foot retail store. No drive-through window is Included in this request. Retail liquor stores are permitted uses in the C-3 zoning district. The City's parking Code does not have a specific classification for a retail wine and spirits store. Because of the unique nature of wine and spirit retail stores, the general parking ratio required by City Code exceeds the needs of the store. Based on experience of ABC stores across Florida, it is unlikely that more than 40 cars will ever be at this location at the same time. The ratio of one (1) parking stall for each two-hundred (200) square feet of gross floor area Is the same ratio as for grocery stores, where shoppers spend far more time and turnover is less frequent. Owing to special conditions of the characteristics of this particular use, a literal enforcement of the generalized parking ratio contained in the City's code would result In an unnecessary hardship not crei:!ted by the applicant or his predecessor in title. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the physIcal or topographical features of the land or structures within the City. The lot is small <6 SEP-23-98 WED 02:13 PM UNRUH SMITH&ASSOCIATES FAX NO. 5616555525 ( -.. PI 06 and other contiguous land Is not available as two roads, existing development and a canal ROW bound the site. Although the lot is small it Is most appropriate for retail uses. The proposed development is well below the City's maximum lot coverage. At the C-3 district's permitted forty (40) percent lot coverage, a 14,686 sf building could be built; however, the small size of the lot restricts the allowed uses that could be developed. This is because of parking requirements for retail uses (except gas sales, truck and boat sales) could not be met. The literal enforcement of the Code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the vicinfty. A corner, such as the intersection of Boynton Road and Winchester Blvd. [s most appropriate for retarl uses. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action of the applicant or his predecessor I The City's code does not address retail liquor stores. Also, the lot has been In this configuration for a over decadel except for a FOOT taking that reduced the lot's size. The granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied to other lands or structures In the City. It is appropriate to base parking requirements on the unique needs of uses. The granting of the variance is the minimum that will make possible the reasonable use of the land and structure. In order to meet the City's parking code, the building must be reduced by one-thousand (1,000) feet to eight thousand (8,000) feet. This would render the building too small for its intended purpose. Included in the retail store is a storage area - which does not generate parking-- and a small section for gourmet items. Typical new ABC stores are approximately ten thousand (10,000) square feet. Proposed lot coverage is twenty-five (25) percent compared with permitted lot coverage of forth (40) percen t. The granting of the variance will be In harmony with the general Intent and purpose of the Code and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. In fact, the granting of this variance is consistent with the City and Region's infill development goals. 9 --- --~~~- ----- ---~-- EXHIBIT D APPLICAnON fPR VARIANCE ABC Fine Wines and Spirits PKLV 98-003 Driveway distance from an intersection: Ourtlle4250922S.tk3 Section, Subsection and Paragraph number of specific requirement to which variance is requested and exact language contained in the Code: Two variances are requested from City of Boynton Beach Land Development Cede Article II, section B.H.3., regulation of driveways, The City's land development regulations reqUire that parking lot driveways be constructed at least thirty (30) feet from the intersection of right-of-way lines along local streets and one-hundred and eighty feet (180) feet along streets of higher classification.

The existing driveway that provides access to the site for westbound traffic travelling along Old Boynton Rd. will also require a variance. Statement of Special Conditions, Hardships or other reasons Justifying the Requested Variance: Owing to special conditions of the characteristics of this site, a titeral enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result In an unnecessary hardship not created by the applicant Or his predecessor in title. The special conditions and circumstances that exist are peculiar to the physical features of the land. It would be impossible for any user of this land to meet the driveway requirements (distance from the Intersection [180'] and minimum driveway width [20']) without a variance because of the configuration of the lot. The lot has only one-hundred and ninety-one (191) feet of frontage along Winchester Park Blvd. For safety of loading vehicles, the driveway is proposed to be twenty-nine (25) feet. As the existing driveway on Boynton Rd. Is non-conforming, any subsequent development of the vacant property would require the owner to submit this variance application.

A second driveway Is existing; it is located one-hundred and forty three (143) feet from the intersection. The Florida Department of Transportation constructed this second driveway at this location during the widening of Boynton Beach Blvd. This driveway provides access to the site for westbound traffic travelling along Boynton Beach Boulevard. Both streets are classified as non-local streets of higher classifications.

It would be impossible for any user of this land to meet the driveway requirements (distance from the intersection [180'] and minimum driveway width [20')) without a variance because of the configuration of the lot. The lot has only one-hundred and ninety-one (191) feet of frontage along Winchester Park Blvd. and one-hundred and ninety three (193) feet of frontage along Boynton Beach Boulevard. For safety of loading vehicles, the driveway on Winchester Park Blvd, is proposed to be twenty-sh< (26) feet.

As the existing driveway on Boynton Rd. is nonMconforming, any subsequent development of the vacant property would require any owner to submit this variance application. There is a hardship peculiar to the property, which has not been caused by the actions of the applicant. With reg.rd to the driveway on Winchester Park Blvd., the literal enforcement of the provisions of the chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity, that of having accen from east bound traffic on Boynton Road, With regard to the driveway on Boynton Beach BI\Jd., the special conditions and circumstances are the result of the driveway being placed in this location by the Florida Department of Transportation. For the driveway along Winchester Park Blvd,. the failure to meet the required distance from driveway to intersection does not result from the action of the applicant or his predecessor. but by the actions of FOOT which caused the lot's north-south dimension to be reduced by the taking for Boynton Beach Blvd. The granting of these variances is the minimum that will make possible the rea.onable, logical and efficient use of the land and structure.
