AGENDA DOCUMENTS PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM #97- 042 Staff Report Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Date: February 20, 1997 Petition: Case No. 230 File No: BZA V 97-002 Location: 1900-2118 Corporate Drive, approximately 1400 feet south of Woolbright Road Owner: Menorah Realty, LTD., c/o Colliers Lehrer Adler, agent Project Name: Boynton Commerce Center Variance Request: Variance to Section 7.H.17 of Chapter 2 of the City's Land Development Regulations is requested to allow reduction in the required peripheral greenbelt width from 25 feet to 3.5 feet. BACKGROUND The subject property, a portion of the Boynton Commerce Center, is located approximately 1400 feet south of Woolbright Road and east of the railroad track (see enclosed Exhibit "A" - Location Map and Exhibit "B" - Survey). The zoning designation of the property is PID (Planned Industrial Development). The developed portion of the PID contains three office/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 215,000 square feet and houses several industrial tenants. In 1992, the applicant received an approval for the construction of an additional 69 parking spaces and a reduction in width of the required 25 foot landscape buffer along the east property line from 25 feet to a 15 feet at the north end of parcel 3-D and to 6 feet at the south end of parcel 3-F. Subsequent to this approval and during preparation of the construction drawings for the parking addition the applicant indicated that the approved reduction in the width of the landscape buffer was insufficient. Therefore, in order to move forward with the proposed parking construction, further reduction in the landscape width to 3 feet 6 inches is now sought (see Exhibit "C" - site plan). The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that surround the subject property: North - Undeveloped portion of the Boynton Commerce Center PID East - 100' wide CSX Railway right-of-way and farther east is undeveloped land zoned REC (Recreation) West - Right-of-way of the LWDD Canal and farther west is a residential development (Leisureville), zoned R1AA1PUD South - Undeveloped portion of the Boynton Commerce Center PID Page 2 Memorandum No. 97-042 Boynton Commerce Center Case No. 230 Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals ANALYSIS The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning sets forth the following requirements for peripheral greenbelts within PID zoned property: 17. Peripheral greenbelt. The project area shall be enclosed on all sides with the exception of accessways for traffic and freight by a landscaped area with a minimum width of twenty-five (25) feet except when such property abuts a residential district such greenbelt shall have a minimum width offorty (40) feet. As shown on the proposed site plan and the variance application (see Exhibit "c" - Site Plan and see Exhibit "0" - Application and Letter of Request), the peripheral landscape width will be reduced only along the eastern boundary of the subject site, along the right-of- way of the CSX railroad. The proposed reduction in width of the greenbelt would affect the size of the area to be sodded and would not impact the existing hedge and tree material (see Exhibit "E" - landscape plan and applicant's justification statement in Exhibit "F"). The petitioner's request is for a reduction of the required buffer to 11 feet on the north end of the east property line and to 3 feet 6 inches on the south end of the east property line. Such reduction would be impractical as the required buffer boundary would not be parallel to the property line, thus very difficult to interpret and enforce. Therefore, staff recommends that the request be changed to a reduction of the width to 3 feet 6 inches along the eastern property line of parcels 3-D, 3-E and 3-F. However, staff further recommends that, if the Board chooses to approve the variance, a condition be attached to the approval that the reduction in width of the required peripheral buffer not reduce the quality of the landscape material (hedge and tree) below the standards as approved by the latest site plan modification of the Boynton Commerce Center. xc: Central File D:\SHARE\WP\PROJECTS\BOYCOMC\zON-VAR.WPD :c .
