PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO, 95-602
TO: Chairman and Members
Planning and Development Board
THRU: Tambri J. HeYden,~
Planning and Zoning Director
FROM: Michael W. Rumpf
Senior Planner
DATE: November 7, 1995
SUBJECT: poinciana Elementary School (LUAR 95-001)
Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
Jan C. Hansen, agent for The School Board of Palm Beach County, requests
to change 1.5 acres of property which are adjacent to, and being added
to, the existing approximate 8.6 acre poinciana Elementary School campus
located on the west side of Seacrest Boulevard, between N.W. 11th Avenue
and N,W. 13th Avenue (see attached location map), Specifically, the
subject property consists of multiple parcels located at the northeast
corner of the project along N,W. 13th Avenue, and at the southeast and
southwest corners of the site which front on the pending abandonment of
N.W, 12th Avenue. All subject parcels are currently classified Medium
Density Residential, and zoned either R-1-A5(Single-family residential
district) or R-2 S (Single and Two-family dwelling district). The
applicant requests that the land use of the subject property be
reclassified and it be rezoned consistent with the existing school
campus, which is Public & Private Governmental/Institutional (PPGI) and
Public Usage (PU) , respectively. f-".},,-ceAf f''C''1'',,",+1'"-''' i",,,-{~J1e- . . . -
During the past 12 months, The School Board of Palm Beach County has
acquired the subject parcels, removed existing structures on those newly
acquired parcels, has submitted abandonment applications for the
adjacent rights-of-way of N.W. 12th Avenue and Washington Avenue, and
begun construction of a new Poinciana Elementary School, With respect
to current school use, the existing school facilities will continue to
be utilized during construction of the new building, This school
redevelopment project will enable consolidation and better utilization
of the campus (in part by abandoning NW 12th Avenue which has always
separated the school from their larger recreation area), and the
replacement of multiple antiquated facilities with a single and larger
modern elementary school.
This school expansion project received official support from the City of
Boynton Beach in 1992 when the City processed Resolution R92-209, which
in part, conveyed the community's desire for the continued operation of
this school. Furthermore, to facilitate the coordination of certain
joint City-School Board activities such as land acquisition, the two
entities entered into an interlocal agreement in 1993 (this agreement
will be amended to also allow city-owned property to be used for project
drainage in order to meet both SFWMD and city drainage requirements) ,
PROCEDURE
As this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan represents a small-scale
amendment pursuant to state law, the proposed amendment will not be
reviewed by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) but will
become effective 31 days following adoption of the ordinance, While
documentation on the small-scale amendment is required to be sent to the
DCA, no review for compliance is conducted,
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
Since the subject parcels are rather isolated within the existing school
campus, few other properties are immediately adjacent to the affected
properties, As indicated on the location map, the subject parcels front
on NW 13th Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard, and on the abandoned NW 12th
Avenue, The only exception to this statement regarding limited adjacent

properties is at the southwest corner of the campus where an area to be
rezoned directly abuts a single family home within the R"l-A (Single-
family Residential) zoning district, Lastly, those properties separated
from the subject parcels by NW 13th Avenue are predominantly single
family homes zoned R-2 (Single- and Two-family dwelling district) ,
Pursuant to the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 8
(Administration and Enforcement), when a rezoning request requires an
amendment to the Future Land Use Map, staff shall evaluate such
applications with respect to the following criteria:
CONSISTENCY WITH APPLICABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES
The Comprehensive Plan does not contain policies which specifically
address expansion of the poinciana Elementary School campus. However,
the Plan does include an objective and general policy that require the
City to assist Palm Beach County with "maintaining or improving" school
quality, Objective 8,22 and Policy 8,22,2 read as follows:
Objective 8.22 -
"The City shall increase the mechanisms for intergovernmental
coordination with the Palm Beach County School Board in order
to assist the School Board in maintaining or improving the
quality of the County's school system and to ensure
consistency with the plans and policies of the school board.";
and
Policy 8.22,2 -
"The City shall assist the school board in locating future
school sites."
CONSISTENCY OF REZONING WITH ESTABLISHED LAND USE PATTERN
The subject request represents a small expansion to the PPGI land use
classification and PU zoning district currently in place on the
poinciana Elementary School. Therefore, the subject request is
consistent with the established land use pattern, the request would not
create an isolated district, and lastly, the approval of the subject
request would not be a grant of special privilege.
CHANGING CONDITIONS AND DESIRABILITY OF THE REZONING
Although it is known that most schools in the County are overcrowded,
the Palm Beach County Educational Concurrency and Task Force has
reported that "the greatest need for student stations is at the
elementary and middle school facilities", The combination of the demand
for school space and the age of the poinciana Elementary School
represent the principle justifications for school expansion and the
subject rezoning request,
COMPATIBILITY OF REZONING WITH PUBLIC fACILITIES
The lots proposed to be rezoned and incorporated into the existing
school campus will allow for the construction of a new school building
which will replace the multiple buildings currently being used. With
respect to impacts on public facilities, as the project is intended to
only replace obsolete facilities, and in general, to unify the school
into one building, the projected demand on principle facilities (i,e,
roads and utilities) will be comparable to the demand currently being
generated,
COMPATIBILITY OF REZONING WITH NEARBY PROPERTIES AND IMPACT ON VALUES
Schools have typically been recognized as attributes within residential
areas, as it is felt important to have children attend school within
their own neighborhood. Such facilities provide a local source of
recreation and education resources and meeting facilities for both
adults and children. The City of Boynton Beach has acknowledged the
desire to have maintained at this location the poinciana Elementary
School, and documented this objective through the aforementioned
resolution.

Memorandum No. 95-602

November 7, 1995
PHYSICAL AND ECONOMICAL DEVELOPABILITY OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
There are no known unique physical characteristics which would limit
further development or redevelopment of the subject parcels,
SCALE OF REZONING RELATIVE TO NEEDS OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITY
The combined area of the subject parcels are only approximately 1,50
acres, and the redevelopment project is merely a replacement of the
existing multi-building campus with a single, modern school facility.
Given the small size of the project, and that which was stated above
regarding compatibility with nearby properties, the proposed zoning and
school improvement project are relative to needs of both the immediate
neighborhood and the City,
AVAILABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE SITES ADEOUATE FOR PROPOSED USE
With respect to alternative sites for this project, the existing site is
the most logical location for this school given its proximity to
residential neighborhoods and its location between the nearest two
elementary schools (i, e. Galaxy Elementary School and Rolling Green
Elementary School)

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that the application
submitted by Jan C, Hansen for the School Board of Palm Beach County
be approved, based on the following:
1.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with "" _ "
~ " . ~ the Comprehensive Plan; ~~
1'1 - ~ ' " the established land use
p~tt~rn~ -:;:tlS- c~;;.~."i~
.1._..' ~ ~with adjacent land uses and
will not negatively affect property values;
:
2 .
3 ,
4.
The scale of the proposed rezoning is relative to the needs of the
immediate neighborhood as well as to the City as a whole; and
5.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with Resolution #92-208 which
encourages and supports maintaining the poinciana Elementary School
at its current location, and is related to an inter local agreement
between the City and The School Board of Palm Beach County which
facilitates the joint City-School Board effort to redevelop the
existing school campus.
