Rezone to Planned Commercial Development
DATE:

INTRODUCTION
Roscoe Biby of Kimley-Hom & Associates, Inc, acting as agent for BJ's Wholesale Club,
the contract purchaser, is proposing to rezone from PCD (Planned Commercial
Development) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development) in order to obtain approval of a
new master plan on 14.77 acres of property located at the comer of Boynton Beach
Boulevard and Winchester Park Boulevard (see attached location map in Exhibit "A"). The
proposed PCD master plan includes a 110,493 square foot BJ's Wholesale Club store
(excluding the proposed truck well), a 12 fueling position BJ's gas station with a 72 square
foot kiosk, a 4,875 square foot SouthTrust Bank and two retail/restaurant outparcels (see
attached Exhibit "B"-Proposed Master Plan). The future land use classification will remain
LRC (Local Retail Commercial). The property received approval in December 1990 (as
Boynton Beach Boulevard PCD) for 114,375 square feet of retail and a 5,625 square foot
drive-in bank. A twenty-four month time extension for the zoning/master plan approval
was granted in May 1995. The original master plan expired in 1997, but it has been
determined that the property is vested for concurrency at the intensity of the original
development proposal. It should also be noted that this application was preceded by a
request for Code Review to allow fuel sales within PCDs with certain restrictions (CDRV
00-012).
PROCEDURE
Pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section
9 (Administration and Enforcement), when a rezoning request does not require an
amendment to the future land use map, staff analysis is not required to include an
evaluation of the project using the eight criteria under Section 9.C.7. Since this request is
only for rezoning, the above-described analysis is not required. Since, however, the original
approval for a Planned Commercial Development and the accompanying master plan
Page 2
BJ'sPCD
File No. REZN 00-002
expired in June 1997, the request must be processed as a new application for zoning to
PCD. The analysis contained herein evaluates the proposed Master Plan, issues of particular
concern, and includes selected portions of the above-described criteria that pertain to
impacts upon municipal services, and compatibility with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USES AND ZONING
The land uses and zoning in the surrounding area vary and are presented in the table that
follows:
North
East
South
West
Right-of-way of Boynton Beach Boulevard then land designated Local Retail
Commercial (LRC) land use and zoned Community Commercial (C-3). One
parcel opposite the subject site is developed commercial (Bedding Barn) and
the other one remains vacant.
Fronting on Boynton Beach Boulevard, Public & Private
Governmental/Institutional (PPGI) land use and zoned Public Use (PU) for a
Post Office. South of the Post Office tract are two parcels in unincorporated
Palm Beach County, one containing a self-storage use, the other vacant.
On the southeastern property line is Congress Middle School with Moderate
Density Residential (MoDR) land use at a maximum density of 7.26 dulac,
and zoned Public Usage (PU) . The property to the southwest is developed
residential (Stonehaven PUD) with Moderate Density Residential (MoDR)
land use, and zoned PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.0.
Developed residential (Stonehaven PUD) with Moderate Density Residential
(MoDR) land use, and zoned PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.0.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
A petition to rezone land to a Planned Commercial Development must include the
minimum master plan documents as indicated in the City's Land Development Regulations.
The proposed master plan includes a total of 125,059 square feet of office and commercial
development (see attached Exhibit "B"-Proposed Master Plan). A more detailed
description of this proposed Master Plan is as follows:
Project Area: 14.77 acres
Proposed Uses: The proposed PCD master plan includes a 110,493 square foot BJ's
Wholesale Club store (excluding the proposed truck well), a 12
fueling position BJ's gas station with a 72 square foot kiosk, a 4,875
square foot SouthTrust Bank and two retail/restaurant outparcels, one
outparcel showing a proposed 5,880 square foot building, the other a
5,700 square foot building.
Site Access/Traffic: The subject property has two points of ingress/egress at Boynton
Beach Boulevard. The western access is a 52-foot wide opening
Page 3
BJ'sPCD
File No. REZN 00-002
Landscaping:
Site Regulations:
providing right turn in, right turn out only. The eastern driveway, at
80 feet wide, will provide one entrance lane and two northbound exit
lanes with one exclusive left-turn and one shared/through lane as per
conditions specified by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division.
Two additional roadway improvements to meet safety standards for
automobile traffic at access points are required by Palm Beach
County. Administrative approval will be required for both driveways
since they exceed the 32-foot maximum opening allowed by the
code. The proposed on-site traffic circulation consists of two (2),
two-way drive aisles 25-and 27-feet wide, extending from the eastern
to the western property line and one (1) two-way, 25-foot drive aisle
located along the eastern-most edge of the project. The three main
drive aisles provide access to the proposed uses and their respective
parking areas. A 22- foot fire access lane is provided along the west
and south edge ofthe wholesale club store building.
The project perimeter landscaping includes a 25-foot wide buffer
along the west and southwest property lines, a 15-foot wide buffer at
the northern property line and a 10- foot wide buffer on the remaining
sections of the perimeter. The 25-foot landscape buffer will contain a
6-foot high masonry wall centered within the buffer. Both the buffer
and the wall serve to mitigate the proposed project's impact on
abutting residential neighborhoods. The 10-foot wide landscape
buffer includes a continuous hedge. The number of trees for
perimeter landscaping significantly exceeds code requirements. With
regards to the vehicular use area, however, staff is recommending
further enhancement of landscaping for the main, 460-space parking
area. The developer will also provide landscaping on the Boynton
Beach Boulevard median in front of the proposed project.
Minimum perimeter setbacks.

The proposed project exceeds these minimum requirements. Both
the peripheral greenbelt dimensions and the vehicular use area
landscaping meet the code. The total lot coverage is approximately
Page 4
BJ'sPCD
File No. REZN 00-002
20 percent, well below the 40 percent maximum set by the code.
Heights of the proposed structures are within the allowed 45-foot
maximum. The proposed BJ's store is designed as a one-story
building with a mezzanine. The general height of the building is
approximately 31 feet and 41 feet 6 inches at the peak of the
pediment above the entrance. The SouthTrust Bank building is a one-
story structure, with the general height of 17 feet and 27 feet at the
peak of the pediment above the entrance.
ISSUESIDISCUSSION
A. CONSISTENCY OF REZONING WITH ESTABLISHED LAND USE PATTERN
In general, the proposed rezoning is consistent with development to both the north and the
east. The requirement for additional greenbelt with landscaping, and masonry wall abutting
the developed residential uses to the south and west will serve to ameliorate negative
impacts.
B. COMPATIBILITY OF PROPOSED REZONING WITH PUBLIC FACILITIES
It has been determined that the site is vested for 120,000 square feet of commercial
development, which included 114,375 square feet of retail and a 5,625 square foot drive-in
bank. The proposed master plan shows 127,020 square feet of commercial development
(excluding the proposed truck well), which is 7,020 square feet greater than the vested
square footage. Therefore, only the impacts above the vested approval are subject to
concurrency reVIew.
WATER AND SEWER DEMANDS: The Utilities Department has indicated that capacity
is available to serve the project without negatively impacting adopted levels of service
standards.
DRAINAGE: The applicant has submitted certification that the stormwater management
system proposed for the project will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the
City, the South Florida Water Management District, the Lake Worth Drainage District and
the Florida Department of Transportation.
ROADWAY CAP ACITY ANALYSIS: A traffic analysis was submitted to Palm Beach
County for Traffic Performance Standards Review. Comments from the County Engineer's
office indicate that both Test 1 and Test 2 are satisfied.
C. ANTICIPATED ISSUES RELATED TO PROJECT DESIGN
According to the PCD regulations, the intent and purpose of the PCD district is "to provide
a zoning classification for commercial developments that will better satisfy current
demands for commercially zoned land by encouraging development which will reflect
changes in the concepts and technology of land development and relate the land
development to the specific site... and to allow for the mitigation of negative impacts which
result from land development."
Page 5
BJ'sPCD
File No. REZN 00-002
The Community Design Plan requires that "buildings or structures which are part of a
present or future multi-building complex, shall achieve visual unity of character and design
concepts through the relationship of building style, use, texture, color, materials, form,
scale, proportion and location".
A site plan application for this project has been submitted, which contains detailed
information regarding layout and architecture of proposed buildings, landscaping, drainage
and vehicular circulation on the site. Staff is working with the applicant to ensure that the
project will meet the City's expectations and requirements. This will also ensure that the
master plan will provide for an efficient and harmonious design arranged so as to create an
attractive project, readily integrated with and having no adverse effect on adjoining or
surrounding areas and developments. Buffering will be provided so that the adjacent
residential neighborhoods will be protected from impacts of light and noise generated by
the proj ect.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis and discussions contained herein, staff has determined this request is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Regulations and is
compatible with current and future uses of surrounding properties. Staff, therefore,
recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and Planned Commercial Development
Master Plan. If the Planning and Development Board and the City Commission approve
the rezoning and Planned Commercial Development Master Plan subject to the conditions
beyond those contained in the Conditional Use/Site Plan approval, those conditions will be
listed in Exhibit "C"- Conditions of Approval.
