The modification includes changing the use designation for lots 76, 77, 78 and 79 from industrial to commercial/industrial. Following the rezoning lot 80 will also have the commercial/industrial classification. ~iS Ae approyal is ~ub:. ec to . . __ e change in _ use of the 106: front..,fudustdal to. CQmmerCl mdustrial. 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 PID, 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, adult entertainment in accordance with Section 11.M. of the zoning code or industrial uses 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 purposes of the planned industrial development district. Page 2 Memorandum No. 96-309 Quantum Park - USAP 96-002 ANALYSIS The intent and purpose of 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 conserve natural amenities. Regulations for the PID are intended to accomplish a more desirable environment for industrial development in relation to existing and/or 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 below, 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 violation of any applicable federal, state, county or city law or permit, and all such laws and permits are .hp9rb~adopted as performance standards in these zoning regulations. /lb/~ 1:0( In addressing 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 applicants responses indicates that the project will demonstrate compliance with the performance standards. However, considering the use of handling and storing of hazardous materials (underground fuel storage tank) and which generates hazard waste (changes vehicle fluids, such as motor oil, antifreeze, brake and transmission fluids) the use will require an environmental review permit. They have also indicated that no loud speakers or paging systems will be used at the new facility The total acreage for the project as identified in the above listed lots 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 and are delineated on Exhibit "A" - location map The following is a description of the use as it relates to the proposed development of the site: i. A separate ingress/egress on Park Ridge Boulevard for loading and unloading used vehicles, ii. main building approximately 33,300 square feet and a detached service/detailing building approximately 9,200 square feet, Hi. 214 vehicle parking lot with direct ingress/egress to Park Ridge Boulevard for employees and visitors 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. Page 3 Memorandum No. 96-309 Quantum Park - USAP 96-002 Viewing the proposed use from the adjacent public right-of-way system the use would appear to be a large parking lot. The used car dealership use requires conditional use approval within the General Commercial (C-4) conventional zoning district. 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#! 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 and south of the not in the city property (NIC) located on the east side of Old Dixie Highway (see Exhibit "E" - location map C-4 zoning districts) With respect to the Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Element, Section VIII. Land Use Problems and Opportunities, Section I-Q of the plan recommends that the city encourage automobile dealerships for the parcels which front on Old Dixie Highway within planning area I-Q (see Exhibit "F" - excerpts comprehensive plan) 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. change of the land use designation on lots 77, 78 and 79 from industrial to industrial/commercial and identify lot 80 as industrial! commercial, iii. compliance with the Quantum Corporate Park DRI development order, iv site plan review, v environmental review, limiting the use to lots 77, 78 79 and 80{A$" SiJ6>>'<'> IltV 1JJ...::: Co~~vTA. Sjf!;pl4~. vi. viii. It is further recommended that the loading/ unloading area and the service/staging area designated on the preliminary site plan be identified as storage area and limited to fifteen (15) percent of the site as referenced in the zoning code section 7 E. 1 Also screen the areas from exposure 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 area~ified in the code. \1.ft:)o~r IJ.-'Il}t; !1iN')Ucf" Incorporate into the require~ wide peripheral green~:;;~"":~::,I),:Jt f'--{f1D; vegetation that includes upper, mid and low level landscape material fl along the 1-95 frontage of the site including the area west of the 6f;.- ItV'- voU> existing Quantum Corporate Park free standing sign. cJ.~'N nlo!- '?---VVI() nJ ;1.

The city limits are irregular in this area, however, a precedent for annexation in this area ha.5 been established, and should continue. Piecemeal annexution of the developed single-family subdivisions in the vicinity of Old Dixie Highway, however, may not be 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 County 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 b~ 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 encouraqe 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 abuttinq 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 i.pacts to this neighborhood, consistent with the recommendations contained in the Coastal Management Element 1 r Incorporated and Unincorporated Propertv at Southern End of City. 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 along U S 1 and residential development to the east of this commercial strip The City should proceed with the annexation of the commercial properties 66
