Dear Mr. Wallace,
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is designated CBD, Central Business
District, on the City's Official Zoning Map.
Per the Land Development Regulations of Boynton Beach, the Central Business District lists
pharmacies and drugstores as permitted uses and uses with drive-in service as conditional uses
(conditional use approval was granted on October 19, 1999), therefore the proposed Eckerd
Drugstore is an approved use.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (561) 742-6260.
Sincerely,
~~.~~J f

D. That Literal Interpretation Of The Provisions Of This Chapter 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:
As discussed above, other corner properties have the ability to locate signage at
the intersection allowing visibility from both thoroughfares. If this Variance is not
approved, the Applicant would be deprived of visibility as to one (1) thoroughfare with
one (1) sign allowed on one (1) thoroughfare. That action would result in less visibility
because of a condition requiring construction of a gazebo on the intersection. Other
properties similarly situated would have visibility from both thoroughfares enabling
access to the Sites using either opening. The location of the signage facilitates traffic
movements, reduces U-turns and misapproaches, and provides for better convenience to
those patrons utilizing the facility.
E. That The Variance Granted Is The Minimum Variance That Will Make
Possible The Reasonable Use Of The Land, Building Or Structure:
The Applicant is asking for an additional monument sign in conformance with all
other regulations relating to size and setback. During the Site Plan approval, the
Applicant agreed that signage would not be greater than six feet (6') in height and
represented on the Plan where that proposed signage would be located. Under the Code
one (1) sign is already permitted. The second sign on Boynton Beach Boulevard is being
requested, and is the minimum Variance needed to address the reduced visibility resulting
from the location of the gazebo at the corner.
F. That The Granting Of The Variance Will Be Harmony With The General
Intent And Purpose Of This Chapter, And That Such Variance Will Not Be Injurious To
The Area Involved Or Otherwise Detrimental To The Public Welfare:
The purpose of the signage regulation for the City of Boynton Beach is to create
the frame work for "a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control." The Code
recognizes the need for the appearance of the Community and the "need for adequate
business identification, advertising and communication." By agreeing to construct the
gazebo, it is clear that the Applicant is committed to maintaining an attractive appearance
in the Community, and is going above and beyond what other property owners and
developers have done to achieve that goal. At the same time, the developer should not be
penalized for going beyond the Code and dedicating property to the City to beautify the
intersection of Federal Highway and Boynton Beach Boulevard. The addition of a new
sign will equalize the loss of the most visible portion of the Subject Property which is the
intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway. By locating the signage
near the entrance to the Subject Property, the City will achieve its goal to promote the
general welfare, as well as providing convenience for the public without detracting from
the overall appearance of the Subject Property. The signage will not disrupt or interfere
with any of the landscaping that has been proposed. Also, as was shown on the Site Plan,
FTL:629858:1
the location of the sign is in a location that is not injurious to the area involved, and
would not be detrimental to the public welfare.
As is represented in Paragraphs A through F, the Applicant believes that it has
met the burden for justifying the approval of the Variance, and is requesting that the City
allow the developer to be on par with others similarly situated with signage that is visible
from both thoroughfares.
