RECOMMENDATION: Please place this request on the May 7,2002 City Commission Agenda under
Public Hearing. The City Commission tabled this item on April 16, 2002 to allow further time for the applicant and staff to
generate alternative conditions that properly address both project impacts and operational objectives. Certain proposed
conditions have been revised and new conditions added, in part, to minimize impacts generated at closing time through
minimum staffmg and traffic circulation requirem'lents, to set the time period for outdoor activities to be 4:00 p.m. to 8:00
p.m., to prevent congestion and unsafe conditions through regular counting of patrons and the monitoring of parking capacity
(closing the parking lot once filled), and to require reimbursement for overtime expenses incurred by the Police Department.
The applicant currently agrees to all conditions except requests that outdoor activities be allowed from noon to 8:00 p.m. on
weekdays, and from noon to 10:00 pm. on weekends including Friday. The Community Redevelopment Agency Board with a
4 to 2 vote, recommended that the subject request be approved subject to changes to staff comments as indicated in the
original conditions of approval. For further details pertaining to the request, see Department of Development Memorandum
No. PZ 02-061 and the attached set of revised conditions.

FROM:
Michael Rumpf
Director of Planning and Zoning
DATE:
March 26, 2002
SUBJECT:
Cafe La Notte - COUS 02-002
Conditional Use Approval - Nightclub/Restaurant
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Contained herein is a description of the subject project. The applicant is requesting conditional use
approval to operate a nightclub in a restaurant under the name of "Cafe La Notte". The use is proposed
for the existing 14,099 square foot, two-story building located at 2280 North Federal Highway. The
current zoning of the property is C-3 requiring conditional use approval for the nightclub. The site is
situated on the east side of Federal Highway at the foot of Gateway Boulevard just south of Las Palmas.
It has approximately 124 feet of frontage along the Intracoastal Waterway. Boat docking facilities are also
available at the site.
The entertainment proposed by the applicant includes amplified music provided by live entertainment or
by a Disk Jockey. The hours of operation will be from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Alcoholic beverages will be
served. Prior to 1988, bars and coctail lounges were permitted uses within the C-3 zoning district. A
nightclub has been intermittently operated at this location for many years. The city had licensed the
nightclub use prior to 1988, as well as for several years after 1988 based on its legal-nonconforming
status. It was in 1988 when city regulations were amended to require that bars and cocktail lounges be
conditional use if within 600 feet of a residential zoning district. In December, 2000, city regulations were
again amended to specifically establish the "Nightclub" as a conditional use, regardless of distance from
a residential zoning district. Under current regulations a "nightclub" is defined as "a restaurant, bar,
lounge or similar establishment serving alcoholic beverages, that feature dancing, theatrical, cabaret, or
similar entertainment and lor electronically amplified music". It is understood that a nightclub use on the
property was ultimately discontinued and no longer licensed for over 6 months, consequently losing its
legal-nonconforming status. Current regulations now apply to the property including the requirement for
conditional use approval.

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, 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:
1. 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.
Adequate access exists on site. The parcel has access from Federal Highway to the west and
Las Palmas to the north.
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.
A restaurant/nightclub use is required to have one (1) parking space per two and one-half (2.5)
seats, but not less than one (1) space per one hundred (100) square feet of gross floor area.
Using that methodology the proposed use requires a total of 232 spaces. This is based on the
nightclub capacity of 580 seats ('L'd floor only). The site has 244 off-street parking spaces.
Therefore, parking requirements are met, based in part, on the assumption that use of both the
restaurant and proposed nightclub would have offsetting hours of peak operation.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in subsection 1 and 2 above.
. Cafe La Notte - COUS 02-002
Page 3
Memorandum No. PZ 02-061
Dumpsters are located on site and waste is removed by the City of Boynton Beach. See
conditions of approval for recommendations relative to added screening.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations. availability, and compatibility.
The Utility Department has indicated that utility serviceslcapacity are available for this new tenant
use.
5. Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to type. dimensions, and character.
No new site improvements are proposed. A six (6) foot high wall and 10 to 12 foot hedge extends
along the north side of the property where the property abuts those single-family homes located
west of the adjacent canal. This wall separates the adjacent homes from the parking lot and a
portion of the existing structure. However, the hedge stops prior to the dumpster enclosure, and
the wall stops midway along the building, at the easternmost terminus of the finger canal from the
Intracoastal Waterway. The remainder of the northern perimeter has limited landscaping, some
apparently within planter boxes or pots, and is naturally limited by lack of adequate space to allow
the continuation of the buffer wall along the entire length of the property (the code requires a CBS
wall, painted to match the structure, where a commercial district abuts a residential district). This
buffer wall would have limited affect as a sound buffer due to the close proximity to the adjacent
residential properties, and due to the fact that the commercial building is two stories in height.
Staff was unable to determine if a variance or relief against this segment of the wall was ever
approve or determined unnecessary possibly due to separation by the canal. Although there also
exists several mature canopy trees spotted along the perimeter wall, but not dense enough to
form a continuous buffer or screen above the wall, the mature hedge is very tall and therefore
likely blocks the majority of light, and some sound generated from the parking lot. With respect to
the south property line, where the property abuts the planned city park, there exists a six (6) foot
hedge along the first half of the parking lot, which increases to approximately 10 feet for the
remainder of the distance to the building.
6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and
compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
The parking lot contains lighting. No new lighting is proposed. The Engineering Division has
requested a certification letter stating that the site meets the minimum lighting regulations (See
Exhibit "Cn - Conditions of Approval ). Error! Not a valid link.
No new signs have been submitted with this conditional use application. One freestanding pole
sign is located at the Federal Highway entrance.
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The proposed use does not affect setbacks or open space requirements.
8. General compatibility with adjacent property and other property in the zoning district.
The subject property has been used as a restaurant and lounge for over 20 years. Occupational
License information indicates that since 1983, the property has been occupied by 17 restaurant
businesses, some of which simultaneously operated nightclubs. The current code requires the
conditional use application for the nightclub.
Cafe La Notte - COUS 02-002
Page 4
Memorandum No. PZ 02-061
The proposed use and the adjacent, waterfront single-family homes are not typically compatible
uses, particularly in locations with lower density housing or outside the immediate downtown
core. It should be noted that the property is currently under contract for purchase by a residential
development company, and staff has met with two developers (residential) in the past 2 months
to discuss development scenarios and allowable densities on the site.
Staff reviewed police records that document calls on the subject property, and determined that in
1992 there were 105 complaints onlcalls to the subject property. This total included categories
such as "disturbance" (including "disturbance-noise)': "suspicious incident': "burglary~ "unwanted
guest': "vandalism': "narcotics': "assault': and "trespassing". It should be noted that this list
contains 22 calls for noise disturbances, and that this list is not all inclusive as it excludes other
categories including "accidents': "civil': and "larceny". Calls from an earlier period, 1989, were
also tabulated and revealed that a total of 39 calls to the subject property related to noise. It is
also noteworthy that the majority of police calls occurred on Sundays, during the afternoon or
early evening periods. Staff is unable to determine the total days the nightclub operated during
the two-year periods for which police records were reviewed.
The subject commercial property basically represents an isolated district or spot zone, unrelated
to adjacent land uses (excluding those land uses on the opposite side of Federal Highway).
Despite its current existence, and that it was originally developed for a restaurant and nightclub,
the proposed use, at minimum, should not generate nuisances within this residential
neighborhood.
9. Height of building and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony to adjacent and
nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The existing two-story building meets the code requirements for the C-3 Commercial zoning
district.
10. Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The restaurant use is operational. Approval of this conditional use application will allow the
addition of the nightclub operation. One lot immediately adjacent to the existing building remains
vacant, however, the adjacent neighborhood is nearly built-out with upscale, waterfront, single-
family homes, some of which are new or under construction. Due to the existence of the
waterfront amenity, the negative characteristics generated from the nightclub or restaurant may
be offset (staff did not review nor compare comparable residential property value records).
Otherwise, given the current characteristics of new homes within the adjacent neighborhood, it is
difficult to determine the potential local and city-wide economic impacts from the past operation of
the nightclub.
11. Conformance to the standards and requirements that apply to site plans. as set forth in City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4 Site Plan Review.
With incorporation of staff comments, the site will comply with most 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
Cafe La Notte - COUS 02-002
Page 5
Memorandum No. PZ 02-061
With incorporation of the site lighting, landscaping, and specific operational requirements as
indicated herein, the use would likely operate in a manner that is in compliance with the above-
referenced codes and ordinances of the City of Boynton Beach. Of course, strict enforcement
and policing are necessary to minimize or eliminate associated nuisances.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDA TION
Given that the structure was built for a waterfront restaurant and nightclub. its prior licensed use as a
nightclub. and the possibility for compatibility if the aforementioned restrictions are followed, staff
recommends that this request be approved, subject to the following site improvements and operational
restrictions which are also included within Exhibit "C"-Conditions of Approval:
1 ) The nightclub use shall be limited to only the 2nd floor of the existing structure;
2) Provide additional screening (vegetative or other) on the north side of the dumpster to reduce
sounds and odors from carrying northward;
3) Outdoor events which would include music, intercoms, loud speakers, etc. shall be prohibited;
4) No music, other amplified sounds, or vibration generated from the interior of the building, whether
from the restaurant, lounge or nightclub shall be audible from adjacent properties except for that
generated during the occasional opening or closing of doors during operation (no exterior doors
shall be left open except during periods when no amplified music or noise is generated from the
property);
5) No project lighting shall produce glare onto adjacent residential property;
6) No nightclub shall remain open after 2:00 a.m.;
7) Nightclub operation shall be limited to Fridays and Saturdays (and Sunday's until 2:00 a.m.); and
8) If/when regular attendance at the proposed nightclub meets or exceeds capacity, or when special
events are anticipated to attract same, the Police Department shall be consulted with to
