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

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.
