Meeting: September 16, 1996
Petition: Case No, 222
Location: Flowers Bakery Warehouse/Distribution Center - Lots 47A, 47B
and part of 46A at Quantum Corporate Park
Owner:
Quantum Associates
Variance
Req uest:
Relief from City of Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7,H.3 - Accessways
to allow a reduction of the minimum driveway spacing
requirement of 150 feet to:
1) 133.48 feet between the driveways on the Flowers
Bakery Warehouse/Distribution Center property, and
2) approximately 65 feet between the western driveway of
the of the Packaging Concepts property (located
immediately to the east of the Flowers property) and the
eastern driveway of the Flowers Bakery Warehouse/
Distribution Center property,
BACKGROUND
The property proposed for the future Flowers Bakery warehouse/
distribution center is located south of Park Ridge Boulevard in the
Quantum Corporate Park Uust south of the main entrance to the Publix
Distribution Center) and occupies Lots 47 -A and 47 -B and eastern part of
Lot 46-A (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map and Exhibit "B" - Survey). Also
provided in Exhibit A is the location of the adjacent Packaging Concepts
property, The zoning designation of the subject parcel, as well as the
entire Quantum Park, is PID (Planned Industrial District),
The developer is proposing a 7,000 square feet, warehouse/distribution
and office facility, There are two (2) driveway access points proposed from
the Flowers property to Park Ridge Boulevard, however, the distance
between these driveways does not conform to the Land Development
Regulations, Also, the distance between the proposed eastern driveway
on the Flowers property and the existing driveway on the property to the
west (Packaging Concepts) does not conform to the required, minimum
driveway separation of 150 feet. Exhibit "C" contains an illustration of the
location of the two Flowers driveways and the Packaging Concepts
driveway and an aerial photograph showing the driveways' relation to

existing medians within Park Ridge Boulevard.
The following lists the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject request:
North
Right-of-way of Park Ridge Boulevard, and farther
north is Publix Distribution Center, zoned PID,
South
Safety Kleen facility, zoned PID
East
Packaging Concepts facility, zoned PID
West
Vacant land, zoned PID; further west on the west
side of Alpha Drive is the future high school site.
ANAL YSIS
The subject variance application was submitted in connection with a site
plan approval request for the proposed warehouse/office facility and
associated parking and loading areas for the Flowers Bakery Distribution
Center in Quantum Corporate Park, The proposed vehicular circulation
system for this facility is organized in a u-shape around the building, with
both ends connecting as two, two-way driveways onto Park Ridge
Boulevard, Due to the existing medians within Park Ridge Boulevard, the
east driveway will be right turn in, right turn out only and the west driveway
will be unrestricted as the applicant has agreed to pay for the cost to
modify and cut back the west median, This median reconfiguration has
been evaluated to ensure that it will not affect the truck traffic from the
Publix Distribution Center on the north side of Park Ridge Boulevard,
Generally, median openings are permitted with caution to avoid traffic
from collecting in the median, rather than on site, while waiting to make a
turn, which obstructs the movement and line of sight of other vehicles
passing by,
Since the subject property and surrounding properties are within the
Quantum Park PID, the existing and future uses along this section of Park
Ridge Boulevard are and will be industrial, generating truck traffic, Also,
the design of the future high school site will empty staff and bus traffic
onto this section of Park Ridge Boulevard,
Quantum Park was platted and subdivided into lots nine years ago and
the construction of the roads and medians was coordinated with the
planned lot arrangement. The subject property is being reconfigured by
the applicant by combining all/or portions of three different lots to minimize
the amount of land to be purchased, Since there is no minimum lot area

Flowers, Case No. 222
Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals
or lot frontage in the PID zoning regulations, the minimum driveway
separation requirement is one of the means set forth to regulate creation
of lots too small to provide for adequate access to them by trucks and city
service vehicles and adequate internal circulation as well. For this reason,
the City of Boynton Beach land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 -
Zoning, Section 7,H,3 - Accessways requires that:
"In the interest of public safety, (..,) interior accessways shall be
located no closer than one hundred and fifty (150) feet from center
line to center line",
The petitioner states two (2) main reasons for filing this request:
. pre-existing conditions (the Packaging Concepts driveway is already
in place and is located in close proximity to the Flowers property);
and
. the size of the Flowers Distribution Center parcel and the specialized
business operation requiring certain vehicular circulation pattern
prohibits major modifications to the proposed driveway locations,
The petitioner states also that a minimal volume of vehicular traffic
projected west of the subject site should minimize negative impact of
potential problems created by non-conforming distances between
driveways, Find attached, Exhibit "0", the Applicant's Request for
Variance and Exhibit "E" Statement of Special Conditions, Hardships or
Reasons Justifying the Requested Variance.
In conclusion, the summary of facts is as follows:
1, The distance between the two internal driveways on the Flowers
Distribution Center property is non-conforming by 16,52 feet.
2. The distance between the eastern driveway on the Flowers
Distribution Center property and the existing driveway on the
Packaging Concepts property is non-conforming by 85 feet.
3, The location of the existing driveway on the Packaging Concept
property (pushed 23 feet from their west property line) in conjunction
with the width of the Flowers Distribution Center property of 198,39
feet does not allow for the two new driveways on Flowers Distribution
Center property to comply with the distance requirement of the land
Development Regulations,
