PGD, Inc. - File No. USAP 99-001
Use Approval (Manufacturing, Wholesale and Storage of cast stone products)
NATURE OF REQUEST
Ms. Shelly Childers of PGD, Inc. is requesting use approval for the manufacturing, wholesale and storage
of cast stone products within the High Ridge Commerce Park PID (see attached location map - Exhibit
"A"). Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7(E) of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations requires that
any new use proposed within a Planned Industrial Development (PID) district be approved by the Planning
and Development Board (and City Commission). To date, various uses have been approved for this PID,
including office, warehouse, and wholesale of various products. The specific type of use proposed
consists of the manufacturing of cast stone products.
The proposed use is not currently defined in the Land Development Regulation's list of permitted uses for
a PID zoning district. The only related prohibited use that is stated in Chapter 2, Section 8, Paragraph
A.3.a.11. refers to the manufacturing of cement andlor concrete. The proposed manufacturing and
fabrication facility processes architectural cast stone construction products utilizing graded sand, Portland
cement, dry pigment and water mixture, which is poured into molds. This process does not utilize
polymers, hydrocarbons or plastic products, which are prohibited. If the manufacturing process utilizes
any mixtures that are hazardous materials as defined by 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 261, the
use shall require environmental review and approval.
BACKGROUND
Unlike other conventional zoning districts, the zoning code does not set forth-specific uses permitted in a
PID. Pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7.E., in a PID, a building and its customary, ancillary
structures and land uses may be erected, altered and occupied for any office, professional, business
(wholesale and retail), educational institution, adult entertainment (consistent with Section 11.M. of the
zoning code) or industrial uses provided that such use or uses is/are approved by the Planning and
Development Board. To approve such a use, the Planning and Development Board must make findings
that the proposed use will not be in conflict with the performance standards listed in Section 4.N. of the
zoning regulations, and that the use proposed is consistent with the intent and purposes of the Planned
Industrial Development District.
The land development regulations, specifically the Planned Industrial Development (PID) district
guidelines, were designed to provide a zoning classification for light industrial development that would
better satisfy current demands for light industrial zoned lands by encouraging development that reflects
changes in technology, relates the development of land to a specific site and conserves natural amenities.

High Ridge Commerce Park PID - USAP 99-001
In addition, it is intended "to accomplish a more desirable environment for industrial development in
relation to existing and/or future city development, permit econoniies in providing public services, allow for
economies of scale in industrial development, and to promote the public health, safety, convenience,
welfare and good government of the City of Boynton Beach.'
The land use designation of this PID is industrial. The Comprehensive Plan allows for the development of
all permitted uses allowed within PID and M-1 zoning districts.
ANALYSIS
\
The purpose of the City's performance standards is to ensure that uses will not be a nuisance or hazard to
persons, animals, vegetation or property located on adjacent or nearby properties or right-of-way; or to
interfere with the reasonable use or enjoyment of adjacent or nearby property by reason of noise,
vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter; toxic or noxious matter; odor, glare, heat or humidity;
radiation, electromagnetic interference, fire or explosive hazard, liquid waste discharge, or solid waste
accumulation.
The applicant has been asked to provide a description of their request relative to the performance
standards within Chapter 2, Section 4.N of the Land Development Regulations to evaluate the impact and
appropriateness of this use within the PID district. These responses are included in Exhibit B -
Performance Criteria, are paraphrased as follows:
1) Noise: No noise will be created which is in violation of Section 15-8 of the City of Boynton
Beach Code of Ordinances.
2) Vibrations: No ground vibrations will be generated by the proposed use.
3) Smoke, dust, dirt, or other particular matter: No emission of smoke, dust, dirt or other
particular matter will be created. The proposed use will not allow the emission of any
substances in violation of any federal, state, county or city laws or permits governing the
emission of such substances.
4) Odors and fumes: No objectionable or offensive odors will be readily perceptible at any
point beyond the industrial district.
5) Toxic or noxious matter: The proposed use will not allow any toxic or noxious matter to be
discharged in such concentrations as to cause damage to property or vegetation,
discomfort or harm to persons or animals, or prevent the reasonable use and enjoyment of
property or rights-of-way at or beyond the property line or to contaminate any public waters
or any groundwater.
6) Fire and Explosion: The proposed use will not create a fire or explosion hazard.
7) Heat, Humidity or Glare: The proposed use will not produce heat, humidity or glare, which
is readily perceptible past the property boundary. The lighting will conform to the City of
Boynton Beach's standards.
8) Liquid Waste: Any disposition of liquid waste will be in conformance with the provisions of
Chapter 26 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances or any applicable federal,
state or county laws or permits.

High Ridge Commerce Park PID - USAP 99-001
9)
Solid Waste: Any accumulation or disposal of solid waste will be in conformance with
Chapter 10 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances and will not be transferred to
adjacent or nearby property or rights-of-way.
10)
Electromagnetic Interference: No electromagnetic radiation or interference is to be created
by this use.
,11)
Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste: No hazardous materials or hazardous waste
will be created, stored or handled with the proposed use.
This type of use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the PID zoning district, as this use reflects
changes in land development trends, and furthers the attempt to provide a desirable environment for
industrial developments. This use will compliment other commercial and industrial uses existing within the
High Ridge Commerce Park PID.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis of the proposed use, staff recommends that the list of permitted uses within
the High Ridge Commerce Park PID be amended to include the manufacturing, wholesale and storage of
architectural cast stone products. Staff does not recommend any conditions of approval; however, if
conditions are added by the Planning and Development Board or City Commission, said conditions will be
placed in Exhibit "CO - Condition of Approval.
