TO:
DATE:
May 13, 1992
SUBJECT: Water Treatment Plant Expansion - Ordinances for Land
Use Plan Amendment, Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment,
and Rezoning.
INTRODUCTION/HISTORY
Attached please find, and consider on First Reading at the City
Commission meeting scheduled for May 19, 1992, the ordinances for
the above referenced applications. Said applications, as
summarized below, are in connection with the acquisition of 7.47
acres of property adjacent to, and planned expansion of, the
City's Water Treatment Plant.
Christopher Cutro, agent for the City of Boynton Beach, is
requesting to amend the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan for 7.47 acres of property located on the east
side of South Seacrest Boulevard, immediately south of the City's
Water Treatment Plant (see Attachment "A"). This property is
currently vacant, and classified as "Medium Density Residential",
and zoned R-2 (Duplex Residential). The applicant requests to
have the existing land use designation changed to "Public &
Private Governmental/Institutional", and rezoned to Public usage.
Although this request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment is also being processed in
order to the delete language that is unnecessary since the land
use on the property is being changed.
The Water Treatment Plant Expansion applications were recommended
for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board, on December 10,
1991, and then unanimously approved by the City commission for
transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
on December 17, 1991.
The land use amendment and Comprehensive Plan text amendment
applications were then forwarded to the DCA for review. The
State's review of the applications is based upon consistency with
the City's Comprehensive Plan, the State comprehensive Plan, and
the Regional Comprehensive Policy Plan.
On April 13, 1992, the City received the results of the review by
the DCA. Objections were raised by the DCA with respect to lack
of data (within the Comprehensive Plan Support Documents) which
supports the plant expansion, and an analysis of the potential
impacts of the expansion upon the native scrub habitat located on
the site.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
The objections raised by the DCA can simply be addressed by
providing the DCA with a copy of the site Management Plan as
completed for the site, and by providing them with a
clarification of the data within the Comprehensive Plan support
Documents that indicate the need for expansion of the City's
Water Treatment Plant.

May 13, 1992
The Planning and Zoning Department continues to recommend
approval of the aforementioned requests as the requests are
consistent with the recommendation for Planning Area 4.e within
the Comprehensive Plan, the requests are necessary to accommodate
the expansion of the City's Water Treatment Plant, the expansion
is consistent with the data and analysis of the Comprehensive
Plan Potable Water Support Document, and since the necessary
measures have been taken to ensure the proper preservation and
management of the native scrub habitat that exists on the site.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 91-313
TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS,
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
OC 1.1L '" ~
FROM: CHRISTOPHER OUTRO,
PLANNING DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1991
SUBJECT: FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT
AMENDMENT, AND REZONING - WATER TREATMENT PLANT
EXPANSION
HISTORY:
In May, 1991, the City acquired 7.4~ acres of property on South
Seacrest Boulevard to provide for the expansion of the City'S
Water Treatment Plant. To allow for this expansion, the Future
Land Use Plan, the text of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Zoning
Map must be amended accordingly.
INTRODUCTION:
Hence, Christopher Cutro, agent for the City of Boynton Beach, is
requesting to amend the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan for 7.47 acres of property located on the east
side of South Seacrest Boulevard, immediately south of the City's
Water Treatment Plant (see Attachment "A"). This property is
currently vacant, and classified as Medium Density Residentia1,
and zoned R-2 (Duplex Residential). The applicant requests to
have the existing land use designation Changed to Public &
Private Governmental/Institutional, and rezoned to Public Usage.
(Please note that the application for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
is on file in the Planning Department).
A thorough staff analysis of the requests for land use amendment
and rezoning was not conducted as these requests are consistent
with the City'S 1989 Comprehensive Plan.
Although this request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment should be included with this
amendment to the Future Land Use Plan in order to delete language
that is unnecessary since the land use on the property is being
changed (this application for Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment
is on file in the Planning Department). Planning Area 4.e of the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Support Document contains the
fOllowing language:
Area 4.e. Vacant Parcel South of Water Treatment Plant on S.
SeacrQst ~lvd.
There are approximately 7.8 acres of vacant property lying
to the south of the City'S water treatment plant, along the
east side of Seacrest Boulevard. This property should
remain in its present land use classification and should be
developed either for residential or institutional use. The
demand for commercial floor space will not increase
significantly enough to warrant commercial use of this
property. Any increased demand for commercial land which
does occur should be accommodated in the CBD district and
the Coastal Area. Furthermore, commercial development would
degrade the residential environment of the neighborhood, and
would cause serious traffic congestion on roads in the
vicinity. Another Possible use of the property would be for
the expansion of the water treatment plant and/or wellfield,
and if used as such, the Future Land Use Map category should
be construed to be Public and Private
Governmental/Institutional. Recreational use would be a
possible use for any portion of the property which is not
used for the water plant expansion. If the water treatment
plant is expanded at this location, the site should be
designed so as to minimize adverse impacts on the
surrounding residences.
As indicated above, a portion of the recommendation for Planning
Area 4.e is to be deleted since the Future Land Use Plan is being
amended, and would read as follows within the Comprehensive Plan:
Area 4.e. Vacant Parcel South of Water Treatment Plant on S.
Seacrest Blvd.
There are approximately 7.8 acres of vacant property lying
to the south of the city's water treatment plant, along the
east side of Seacrest Boulevard. This property should
t_~~~~/~~/~tj/pt_j_~t/l~~~~j_/tl~jjtttt~t~~~/~~~j~~~l~ be
developed either for residential- .or institutional use. The
demand for commercial floor space will not increase
significantly enough to warrant commercial use of this
property. Any increased demand for commercial land which
does occur should be accommodated in the caD district and
the Coastal Area. Furthermore, commercial development would
degrade the residential environment of the neighborhood, and
would cause serious traffic congestion on roads in the
vicinity. Another pOSSible use of the property would be for
the expansion of the water treatment plant and/or wellfield/

~9Y,t~~'~~i~/1~;~t~~~t9~i~. Recreational use would be a
possible use for any portion of the property which is not
used for the water plant expansion. If the water treatment
plant is expanded at this location, the site should be ~
designed so as to minimize adverse impacts on the "
i
surrounding residences.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department recommends approval of the aforementioned
requests as the requests are consistent with the recommendation
for Planning Area 4.e within the Comprehensive Plan, and are
necessary for the expansion of the City's Water Treatment Plant.
However, this recommendation is contingent upon the design and
development of the site consistent with the specifiC
recommendation for Area 4.e which recommends that if the water
treatment plant is expanded at this location, the site should be
designed so as to minimize adverse impacts on the surrounding
residences.
