AGENDA DOCUMENTS PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM # 96-614 Staff Report Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting: November 12, 1996 Petition: Case No. 225 File No: I BZA V 96-009 2900' High Ridge Road Location: Owner: T.D. Fender ~.f; ~;tO~. u~ ;, ~ -to ~,'"' M~'~ ~ cA'lr,~ ~ JJ Relief from the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 11.H.16.f(1), which requires that one parking space shall be required per each 500 square feet of gross floor area for industrial buildings. Project Name: Applied Polymer Variance Request: BACKGROUND The subject property, Applied Polymer, is located at 2900 High Ridge Road at the northeast corner of Industrial Way and High Ridge Road (see enclosed Exhibit "A" - Location Map and Exhibit "B" - Survey). The zoning designation of the property is M-1 (Light Industrial). On February 22, 1996, Mr. Fender applied for an occupational license to reopen a manufacturing business (Applied Polymer) at 2900 High Ridge Road. Six years ago, Applied Polymer was required to apply for an occupational license (they were operating without a license) for this location and upgrade the nonconforming parking lot. Applied Polymer received site plan approval to upgrade the nonconforming lot, but never followed through with construction. Upgrading of the lot was required of Applied Polymer as their manufacturing use was a change in use and occupancy from the previous warehouse use and manufacturing requires more parking than warehousing. Subsequently Applied Polymer vacated the premises and a warehouse storage use moved in until December 1994. A use in the building has not been licensed since December 1994. The petitioner would like to re-open the facility, however, as was the case six years ago the site does not comply with the current code with respect to required parking. This application has been filed to seek relief from the requirement to provide 72 parking spaces for Applied Polymer's use of the building (see Exhibit "c" - Application). The applicant has added 1 0 more parking spaces by restriping existing pavement and brought the site into compliance with the American Disability Act (ADA) to provide 57 spaces; a shortage of 15 parking spaces (See Exhibit "D" - Site Plan). Although the site plan shows 56 parking spaces, a statement by the petitioner indicates that there are now 57 parking spaces on the property. The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that surround the subject property: North - vacant lots in High Ridge Commerce Park PID; South - Industrial Way right-of-way and farther south are industrial buildings zoned M-1; East - industrial buildings zoned M-1; and Page 2 Memorandum No. 96-614 Applied Polymer Case No. 225 Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals West - High Ridge Road right-of-way and farther west is undeveloped land zoned M-1. ANAL YSIS The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 11.H.16.f(1), requires the following standard for parking for industrial related uses: "Industrial, research and development, trades, wholesale, and warehouses: (1) Manufacturing and industrial uses not listed elsewhere: One (1) parking space per two (2) employees, but not less than one (1) parking space per five hundred (500) square feet of gross floor area; plus required parking spaces for any other principal uses, including office or retail floor area." The property contains a 35,664 square feet industrial building for which the required number of parking spaces is 72. According to the petitioner statement (see Exhibit "E" _ Statement of Special Conditions), the provision of additional parking to bring the property up to code would require removal of landscaping. As noted during a field visit, some of this landscaping is mature, but some of it was newly planted around the parking lot perimeter (as is required by code) prior to a permit being issued. The petitioner states also that the nature of his industrial operation on the premises will never cause such volume of employment that would require utilization of all parking spaces. The summary of facts is as follows: 1. The property is located in the M-1, industrial zoning district and has been vacant with no current occupational license for more than six months - the period after which grandfather status expires. Re-opening the business requires full compliance with the city code. This includes number of spaces as well as design standards, landscaping, lighting and drainage. 2 Within the last 12 months, the property owner upgraded the facility by providing 10 additional parking spaces, however, in order to fully meet city parking regulations, an additional 15 parking spaces needs to be provided. As a point of information, if the Board grants this approval, it is recommended that this approval not run with the property, but be attached solely to this business in the event there is a future change in the occupancy of the building which could functionally require more employees than Applied Polymer.
