PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Contained herein is a description of the subject project. The proposed daycare / preschool will be operated out
of the existing Bible Church of God fellowship hall located at 1390 North Seacrest Boulevard. The current R-
I-A zoning allows a church, but daycare is subject to conditional use approval. The daycare operation will
have a 55-child capacity. In addition, the site plan proposes to fence in 10,721 square feet of outside playing
area to meet the requirements under State regulations. Except for the play area fence, no structural changes
are proposed either inside or outside the existing building.

Surrounding land uses/zoning:
North - Single-family residential development (Rolling Green) zoned R-I-A;
East - A parcel of land zoned Community Commercial, C-3 and farther east the FEC railroad tracks;
South - Right-of-way of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) C-16 Canal and farther

West - Right-of-way for Seacrest Boulevard and farther west vacant land owned by the Bible Church of God
zoned Residential, R-1.
STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING CONDITIONAL USES AND ANALYSIS
Section 11.2.D of the Land Development Regulations contains the following standards to which conditional
uses are required to conform. Following each of these standards is the Planning and Zoning Division's
evaluation of the application as it pertains to standards.
The Planning and Development Board and City Commission shall consider only such conditional uses as are
authorized under the terms of these zoning regulations and, in connection therewith, may grant conditional
uses absolutely or conditioned upon the conditions including, but not limited to, the dedication of property for
streets, alleys, recreation space and sidewalks, as shall be determined necessary for the protection of the
surrounding area and the citizens' general welfare, or deny conditional uses when not in harmony with the
intent and purpose of this section. In evaluating an application for conditional use approval, the Board and
Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed use on the general health, safety and welfare of the
community and make written findings certifying that satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the
following standards, where applicable:
I. Ingress and egress to the subject property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to
automobile and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire
or catastrophe.
The subject property has one point of ingress/egress at Seacrest Boulevard. This western access is a
20-foot wide opening which serves the entire site. It is a long narrow shaped parcel and this access
road runs along the south side adjacent to the SFWMD C-16 Canal approximately 250 feet at which
points it widens to 34 feet of paved area. It connects to the two parking areas located behind the
existing fellowship hall building. A gate is proposed at the location where the road begins to widen.
This gate will be equipped with a Knox box to ensure access for emergency vehicles. In addition, a fire
lane will be designated along the wider paved area adjacent to the south side of the building.
The church currently parks between two and three passenger transport buses along this roadway. As a
condition of approval for the daycare use, these vehicles would have to be parked in the parking lot
behind the existing fellowship hall.
The pick-up and drop-off area for the children will be located in the back of the building convenient to
the entrance door. Pedestrian/vehicular conflict is minimal at this location.
Bible Church of God COUS 98-006

Memorandum No. PZ 01 - 237
A traffic study was not required because a 55-child day care use would generate slightly less than 200
average daily trips (ADT). The cut-offfor concurrency review by the Palm Beach County Traffic
Division is 200 ADT. The applicant has provided a written statement limiting the daycare use to 55
children.
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to the items in subsection
1 above, and the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the conditional use will have on adjacent and
nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The parking required for the proposed daycare is calculated based on one space for each 300 square
feet of gross floor area. The indoor area allocated for the daycare use totals 4,116 square feet, which
requires 14 parking spaces. The existing parking lot has 105 spaces including three handicap spaces.
There is sufficient parking currently on site to accommodate the daycare use.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in subsection I and 2 above.
The existing dumpster is located in the northeast corner of the first parking area in back of the existing
building. It is enclosed, is not visible from the street and does not interfere with the daycare operation.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and compatibility.
Consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and city regulations, all utilities, including potable water
and sanitary sewer are in place via construction of the original permitted fellowship hall facility.
5. Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to type, dimensions, and character.
The children's play area is proposed to be located in the front (west) and north side of the existing
fellowship hall. The plans indicate that it will contain a total of 1 0,721 square feet. No play equipment
is planned for the area at this time. A four (4) foot chain link fence is proposed to enclose the area
along the front and sides of the play area up to the front building line of the fellowship hall. The fence
will continue along the north side at five (5) feet high until it reaches the end of the first parking lot. A
six(6) foot fence is proposed along the south side of the property acljacent to the SFWMD C-16 Canal
and along the rear of the first parking area. The entrance to the first and second parking lot areas will
be gated.
The north side perimeter landscape buffer contains an existing native Florida Privet hedge that is the
same height as the proposed five (5) foot fence. This provides an adequate buffer for the residential
property to the north. The interior and parking areas contain a wide variety of plants, shrubs, and
trees, which were approved with the original site plan.
6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and
compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
The site contains one free standing monument sign located at the front of the property adjacent to
Seacrest Boulevard. No new signage or lighting is proposed with this application.

Memorandum No. PZ 01 - 237
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The building meets or exceeds all setback requirements required of the R-1-A zoning district. The
outside play area will encompass 10,721 square feet. Thisfenced area will be located in the front and
north side of the existing fellowship hall building. The open space required for the project is not
affected by this proposal.
8. General compatibility with adjacent property and other property in the zoning district.
In general, the proposed project is compatible with the existing church use. There will be minimal on-
site impact and no adverse effects will occur because the proposed daycare use will not conflict with
the regularly scheduled church services. There will be little or no impact to the adjacent properties or
to the general area.
9. Height of building and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony to adjacent and nearby
properties, and the city as a whole.
No new structures are proposed with this application. The daycare use will operate out of the existing
one story fellowship hall building. The City Commission approved the original site plan on November
21, 1989. The existingfellowship hall building was subsequently constructed as Phase One.
10. Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
Daycare is a needed social service in this area. The proposed use will constitute additional
convenience and choice for the members of the Bible Church of God and for the residents of the
surrounding neighborhood.
11. Conformance to the standards and requirements which apply to site plans, as set forth in Chapter 19,
Article II of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances. (Part III Chapter 4 Site Plan Review).
With incorporation of staff comments, the proposed project will comply with all requirements of
applicable sections of city code.
12. Compliance with, and abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with the performance
standards within Section 4 of the zoning regulations; also, conformance to the City of Boynton Beach
Noise Control Ordinance.
With incorporation of all conditions and staff recommendations contained herein, the proposed
daycare I preschool use would operate in a manner that is in compliance with the above-referenced
codes and ordinances of the City of Boynton Beach. In particular, the applicant will have to apply for
and obtain all necessary approvals and licenses from all applicable governing bodies, including but
not limited to the Palm Beach County Health Department and Florida State Department of Health,
which are requiredfor the daycare I preschool operation.

INTRODUCTION:
The subject property is a parcel of land 5.43 acres at Section 21,
Township 45 South, Range 43 East, Palm Beach County,Florida. The
west 4.77 acres of this parcel shall be used for building a new
church as shown on the attached site plan "Exhibit A".
This parcel is located on the east side of Seacrest Blvd.,just
north of Lake Worth Drainage District Canal C-16. Approximately
0.75 of a mile north of Boynton Road.
The existing traffic counts 1988-1989 from the metropolitan planning
organization of Palm Beach County and the Institute of Transportation
Engineers, fourth edition of trip generation shall be used in this
report.
SITE INFORMATION:
The proposed Bible Church of GOD shall be located on the east side
of Seacrest Blvd. The site plan shows a 28,086 square foot church
facility including 11,916 square foot sanctuary, 11,690 square foot
fellowahip hall, 4,480 square foot for foyer, robe room,offices,rest-
rooms, but not including at this time any nursery or classrooms.
The site plans also shows that there will be one 24' wide driveway
providing access to the site. Figure 1 shows the site location map.
EXISTING ROAD CONDIT~~:
The major road serving as access to this site is Seacrest Blvd
Sescrest Blvd. was just improved to undivided four lane county road.
The existing roadway capacity and vlc ratios are shown on Figure 2.
TRIP GENElI.ATtO!!.:
Churches are not typical type of development, do not produce a singular
generation rate to be analyzed. The highest generation for churches
occur on Sunday when adjacent street traffic is at its lowest for the
week.
3
In this report,the weekday trsffic shall be determined snd analyze4
The Sundsy traffic generation shall be analyzed to determine the
impact of the site on the surrounding streets.
Generation rates information for both weekday and Sunday were obtained
from the fourth edition of Trip Generation published by Institute of
Transportation Engineers, 1987. The average generation rates are as
follows:
Weekday.- 7.7 tpd per 1000 square foot gross area
Sunday .- 31.5 tpd per 1000 square foot gross area
The average generation rate and fitting curve equation were based upon
four studies for churches larger than this facility. It is also for
churches including sanctuary ,meeting rooms,classrooms and occasionally
dinning facilities, therefore, we belief that Sunday generation resulte<
in a number which is unrealistic for this site. The average generation
rate for weekday seams to be more appropriate and shall be calculated
as follows:
Weekday generation=28,086 @ 7.7tpd/lOOO sq.ft.= 216 tpd.
!NSIGNIFICANT PROJECT DETERMINATION:
The Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance defines all projecta either
as a "Significant Project" or as an "Insignificant Project".
An "Insignificant Project" is defined as a project which has an "insig-
nificant Effect" or generates less than one percent (Un of the thres-
hold capacity at Level of Service "n" on the thoroughfares directly
acceaaed by the project.
This project directly accesses onto Seacrest Blvd.,an undivided four
lane roadway with a threshold capacity at Level of Service "D" of
22,700 tripa per day. One percent(l%) of the threshold capacity at
Lavel of Sarvica"n" for Seacrest Blvd,is 227 trips per day,The trip
generation of 216 tpd is less than 227 tpd,therefore it is concluded
that this project creates an insignificant effect on the major road
in the immediate project area. This project is classified as an"Insig-
nificant Project" according to the Traffic Performance Standards Ordi-
nance II 87-18.
4
---~_..----~_.
According to Ordinance 1/87-18, an "Insignificant Project" may be
approved if two conditions are met:
1.- The existing V/C Ratio on the directly
accessed link does not exceed 1.5;and,
2.- If the V/C Ratio exceeds 1.0, then a fee,
in addition to the Fair Share Contribution
for Road Improvements Fee(Road Impact Fee),
shall be paid in accordance with TABLE 3,of
the Ordinance.
As shown in Figure 2, the existing v/c ratio for Seacrest Blvd. is
less than 1.0. Thus, both conditions are met and no Insignificant
Project Fee is required.
PEAK HOUR GENERATION:
The Peak hour volumes generated by the building of this church shall
be determined based on the Sunday Peak Hour rate published by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers "Trip Generation".
The majority of the congregation attends services between 9:30 a.m.
to 11:00 a.m.and the last crowed service between 5:30 p.m. to 6:30p.m.
The entire congregation will leave the church facility after providing
these services.
The Sunday Peak hour generation is the Sunday morning and shall be
calculated as follows:
28,086 x 8.4 trips/lOOO sq. ft. = 235 trips
Inter = 235 x 0.42 = 99 trips
Exit = 235 x 0.58 =136 trips
based upon a review of these peak hour turning volumes and;.the'lllble
Church of GOD shall have smaller facility than that considered in
the trip generation study, in addition that Seacrest Blvd. was improved
in 1988, it is concluded that no off site related improvements are
recommended at this time. When the remainder of the site is developed,
site related improvements may be necessarily depending on the type of
development proposed by the Church.
