MEMORANDUM NO 96-309
TO Chairman and Members
Planning and Development Board
FROM. Tambri J HeYden'7fjiL
Planning and Zoning Director
DATE. June 5, 1996
SUBJECT Quantum Park - USAP 96-002
Use Approval (Used car dealership)
NATURE OF REQUEST
James G Willard of Shutts & Bowen, agent for Quantum Associates, property owners of
Quantum Park, a planned industrial development (pm), is requesting use approval for a
used car dealership to be added to the list of permitted uses for Quantum Park. Quantum
Corporate Park is a 539.9 acre development of regional impact (DR!) that is generally
located west of the intersection of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard (see Exhibit
"A" - location map and master plan) Specifically, the applicant is seeking to amend the
list of permitted uses at the Quantum Park pm to allow used car sales on only certain lots;
lots 76, 77, 78, 79 and 80 (see Exhibit "B" - letter of request and a proposed conceptual site
plan)
BACKGROUND
The future land use map designation of Quantum Park is Industrial. The current master
plan indicates lots 76, 77, 78 and 79 are approved for industrial uses and lot 80 is located
in the abutting 13.93 acre property, known as the PCD Center, zoned Planned Commercial
Development (PCD) A rezoning of the PCD Center, that encompasses lot 80, to PID to
join it with the Quantum Park DRI and master plan is also being processed simultaneously
In addition, a separate application is also being processed to amend the Quantum Park DR!
and master plan to relocate commercially designated lots within Quantum Park and
designate numerous industrial lots with an option for commercial use. This separate master
plan modification includes changing the use designation for the subject lots (76, 77, 78 and
79) from industrial to commercial/industrial. The rezoning of the PCD Center, which
includes lot 80, proposes commerciallindustrialland use, rather than the current office
classification. The applicant has provided a description of the operation of the proposed
use, see attached Exhibit "C" - The CarMax Story
Pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7.E , of the Land Development Regulations, in a
pm, a building and its customary ancillary structures and land uses may be erected,
altered and occupied for any office, professional, business (wholesale and retail),
educational institution or adult entertainment use in accordance with Section II.M. of the
zoning code or industrial use, provided that such use or uses is/ are approved by the
Planning and Development Board. To approve such a use, the Planning and Development
Board must make findings that the proposed use will not be in conflict with the
performance standards listed in Section 4.N of the zoning regulations, and that the use
proposed is consistent with the intent and purpose of the planned industrial development
district.
ANALYSIS
The intent and purpose of the planned industrial development, as specified in Chapter 2 -
Zoning, Section 7.A, is as follows.
INTENT AND PURPOSE. "A planned industrial development district (PID) is
established. The purpose of this district is to provide a zoning classification for light
industrial development that will better satisfy current demands for light industrial
zoned lands by encouraging development which will reflect changes in the technology
of land development and relate the development of land to the specific site and to
I

Memorandum No 96-309
Quantum Park - USAP 96-002
conserve natural amenities. Regulations for the PID are intended to accomplish a
more desirable environment for industrial development in relation to existing andlor
future city development, permit economies in providing public services, allow for
economies of scale in industrial development, and to promote the public health,
safety, convenience, welfare and good government of the City of Boynton Beach."
All uses located within the city shall conform to the performance standards set forth, and
shall be constructed, maintained and operated so as not to be a nuisance or hazard to
persons, animals, vegetation or property located on adjacent or nearby properties or right-
of-way; or to interfere with the reasonable use or enjoyment of adjacent or nearby property
by reason of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter; toxic or noxious
matter; odor, glare, heat or humidity; radiation, electromagnetic interference, fire or
explosive hazard, liquid waste discharge, or solid waste accumulation. Furthermore, no
use shall be carried out so as to create any nuisance or hazard which is in violation of any
applicable federal, state, county or city law or permit, and all such laws and permits are
adopted as performance standards in these zoning regulations.
To evaluate the Chapter 2, Section 4.N , Performance Standards of the Land Development
Regulations, the applicant has prepared a response that addresses each of the eleven
standards. The responses are found in Exhibit "D" - CarMax/Performance Standards. An
analysis of the applicant's responses indicates that the project will demonstrate compliance
with the performance standards. However, regarding handling and storing of hazardous
materials (reference the underground fuel storage tank) and generation of hazardous waste
(reference car service, detailing and changing vehicle fluids, such as motor oil, antifreeze,
brake and transmission fluids), environmental review is recommended. Regarding noise,
the applicant indicates that no loud speakers or paging systems would be used.
The total acreage of the five lots requested for this use is approximately 17 11 acres. The
five (5) lots are located south of Gateway Boulevard, east of Park Ridge Boulevard and
west of the CSZT railroad and 1-95 (see Exhibit "A" - location map) Generally when a use
is requested for use approval within a planned district it is applicable to all lots within the
district, or depending on the master plan, all lots with a specific land use designation with
the planned district. However, the applicant, in this case is only requesting one such use
within the PID For this reason and to illustrate the magnitude of the use, a summary of
the characteristics of the use on the five lots proposed for this use is provided below.
i. A separate ingresslegress on Park Ridge Boulevard for loading and unloading
used vehicles,
ii. a main building of approximately 33,300 square feet, with a detached
service/detailing building approximately 9,200 square feet,
iii. a 214 vehicle parking lot with direct ingress/egress to Park Ridge Boulevard
for employee and visitor parking,
iv a vehicle use area for storage of 472 vehicles being processed and/or being
serviced and
v a 434 parking space lot for display of vehicles for sale.
For purposes of comparison of this use in other zoning districts, it is noted that used car
sales are only allowed, subject to conditional use approval, within the General Commercial
(C-4) conventional zoning district. As illustrated on the attached Exhibit "E" - location
map of all C-4 zoning districts, there are four (4), C-4 zoning districts within the city One
of the four has frontage on an arterial road. It is located on both sides of US#1 between
the north boundary of the Central Business District and the L WDD Canal C-16. The other
C-4 districts are located near the FEC railway; two north of Boynton Beach Boulevard, one
small section on the east side and, the other on the west side of the FEC Railway The
remaining C-4 zoning district is located on the east side of Old Dixie Highway, north of
Gulfstream Boulevard. With the exception of the latter, C-4 zoned area, these C-4 zoned
areas are too small to locate this use of this magnitude. Regarding the C-4 zoned area on
Old Dixie Highway, the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Element, Section VIII.
Land Use Problems and Opportunities, Section 1 q of the plan recommends that the city
~
Page 3
Memorandum No. 96-309
Quantum Park - USAP 96-002
encourage new automobile dealerships for the parcels which front on Old Dixie Highway
within Planning Area 1 q (see Exhibit "F" - excerpts comprehensive plan) Even though
the plan discusses acquisition and development of properties on Old Dixie Highway with
the C-3 zoned parcels on the west side of Federal Highway, because of the magnitude of
this "super store", it would not be feasible, and most likely not possible to assemble the
acreage needed to satisfy the somewhat unusual characterics of this use. As stated earlier,
the purpose of the pm is to satisfy current demands which reflect changes in the technology
of land development and relate the development of land to the specific site.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that the list of permitted uses for the
Quantum Corporate Park PID be amended to include used car dealership, subject to the
following conditions.
i. rezoning of the PCD Center to PID,
ii. approval of the pending DRI amendment and Quantum Park master
plan that would change the land use designation on lots 77, 78 and 79
from industrial to industrial/commercial and change the land use
designation of lot 80 from office to industrial/commercial,
iii. compliance with the Quantum Park DR! development order,
iv environmental review,
v limiting the use to lots 77, 78, 79 and 80,
vi. that the loadinglunloading area and the servicelstaging area designated
on the preliminary site plan be identified as storage area and limited
to fifteen (15) percent of the site as limited by the PID regulations
(section 7.E.1) Further, it is recommended that these areas be
screened from view to the public by enclosing them on all sides, except
for ingress/egress with a solid six foot tall concrete or masonry wall
that includes a 10 foot wide dense vegetation buffer on the outside of
the wall (buffer to include upper, mid and low level landscape
material) rather than fencing the areas. The recommended 10 foot
wide landscape buffer may be included within the width of the
required peripheral greenbelt.
vii. submittal of a master plan modification, pursuant to a previous
approval condition, for the required peripheral pm greenbelts - this
site is a peripheral pm site and it is recommended that prior to site
plan submittal for this use that such a master plan modification be
approved to include dense vegetation comprised of upper, mid and low
level landscape material along the 1-95 frontage of the site including
the area west of the existing Quantum Corporate Park freestanding
sign, and
viii. prohibition of exterior loud speakers or exterior paging systems
installed on site.
These conditions and recommendations are offered, in light of the conditional use approval
that would normally be required for this use located in the C-4 zoning district. With these
conditions and recommendations, staff finds the proposed use will conform with the City's
zoning code performance standards, and the intent and purpose of the pm district.

Mr Mike Haag

City of Boynton Beach
100 E. Boynton Beach Blvd.
Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310
Dear Mike:
I am responding to your recent request to explain how our proposed CarMax auto dealership at
Quantum Park will comply with section N of the Bovnton Beach Land Development Regulations.
It is our understanding that the City will require a more detailed environmental review during the
site plan approval process.
The following is my response to section N Performance Standards'
1 NOISE. The CarMax facility will comply with Section 15-8 of the City of Boynton
Beach Code of Ordinances. The noise level is comparable to any auto dealership
conducting repair work in an enclosed space. CarMax will not install any loud speaker
or paging system on the site. There are no adjacent residential areas.
2. VIBRA nONS The CarMax operation does not generate any unusual or excessive
ground vibrations and will comply with the City's requirements.
3 SMOKE, DUST, DIRT OR OTHER PARTICULATE MAITER. CarMax will comply
with the City's requirements for control of smoke, dust, dirt or other particulate matter
CarMax will also comply with all Federal, State, County or City laws or permits
governing the emission of such substances.
4 ODORS AND FUMES CarMax will not generate objectIonable odors or fumes that
would be perceptible at any point at or beyond the boundary of the site. Also note that
the CarMax property does not abutt any residential districts.
5 TOXIC OR NOXIOUS MA ITER. See response to Item # 11
6 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Storage and use of flammable materials will be in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 9 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances. The CarMa x building will contain a fire suppression sprinkler system.
The CarMax facility will not create a fire or explosion hazard to adjacent or nearby
property or right of way
An underground fuel tank will be installed on site in accordance with all City, County
State and Federal regulations for installation, monitoring and maintenance of the fuel
tank.
\
/.5>
7 HEAT. HUMIDITY OR GLARE The CarMax facility will not produce heat, humidity
or glare which is readily perceptible at any point at or beyond the property line. Site
lighting will consist of "shoe box" type light fixtures which direct the light downward to
the ground surface below
8 L10UID WASTE. With regard to disposal of liquid waste, CarMax will operate in
c:onform:lfiQt with Chapter 26 of the elf)' of l10yntcut Boaoh Cooo of Ordinance. or Any
applicable Federal, State or County laws or permits.
9 SOLID WASTE. We regard to disposal of solid waste, CarMax will operate in
conformance with Chapter 10 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
10 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE CarMax will not have any generators of
electromagnetic interference on the site which would violate the requirements outlined
in this section.
11 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS WASTE CarMax will comply in
all respects to the City's requirements regarding this item. Please note that CarMax will
operate in the manner that a normal auto dealership or gas/service station operates with
respect to handling of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. All waste fluids taken
from vehicles including motor oil, antifreeze, brake and transmission fluids are removed
from the site by licensed vendors for disposal at regulated sites. Used tires and batteries
are also removed by licensed vendors. An oil separator system is installed under the
floor drains in the service area of the building in order to keep oil and other fluids from
entering the sanitary sewer system.

This area includes a mixture of developed and undeveloped lots,
under various City and County zoning districts The City limits
are irregular in this area, however, a precedent for annexation
in this area ha.I been established, and. should continue.
Piecemeal annexation of the developed Single-family subdivisions
in the vicinity of Old Dixie Hiqhway, however, may not he
practical Annexation of the Single-family subdivisions should
be by referendum or other legal means for annexing the entire
neighborhood In the interim, the City should request that Palm
Beach Count~ limit the use of this area to Single-family
dwellings Existing land uses along the U S. 1 frontage are
predominantly retail, consequently, a Local Retail Commercial
land use designation and C-3 Community Commercial zoning category
are appropriate, both for lots which are presently in the City
and those which will be annexed. These land use controls will
improve the aesthetics along U S. 1 and create a retail-oriented
corridor The lots along Old Dixie Highway, by contrast, are not
as suitable for retail use, and therefore should be placed in a
General Commercial land use category and C-4 zoning district An
appropriate use for commercial property in this area would be new
car dealerships The City should adopt site regulations for new
car dealerShips, which would include a minimum lot area of 2
acres The City should encourage this type of land use at this
location, and should encourage the acquisition and development of
properties fronting on Old Dixie Highway, as a part of the
development of lots which front on U S 1
The Single-family subdivisions in the vicinity of Old Dixie
Highway, if annexed should be placed in the Medium Density
Residential land use category and maintained primarily as a
single-family neighborhood, with single-family and duplex zoning
on the lots immediately abutting the FEC tracks There are two
portions of the Killian's Park subdivision, along Miller Road,
which should be construed to be in the Local Retail (lots 9-14
and 16-20) and General Commercial (lots 21-29) land use
categories, if development of these properties complies with the
conditions set forth in the coastal Management Element
Commercial projects which are adjacent to the single-family
neighborhood should be designed so as to minimize the impacts to
this neighborhood, consistent with the recommendations contained
in the Coastal Management Element
1 r Incorporated and Unincorporated Pro'Dertv at Southern End of
Citv. between U.S. 1 and Intracoastal Waterway
This area is subdivided and largely developed, and consists
almost entirely of unincorporated property Palm Beach County
zoning allows commercial development alonq U S 1 and residential
development to the east of this commercial strip The city
should proceed with the annexation of the commercial properties
