nuisance tree and shrub species. The site has been cleared, filled and
repeatedly disturbed by off-road vehicles. According to an environmental
assessment prepared in June, 1999 by Environmental Services, inc., one
endangered Large Flowered Rosemary shrub and one Gopher Tortoise
burrow has been located on site. Therefore, the applicant must obtain a
permit from the State of Florida to relocate both species to the satisfaction of
the appropriate state agency The necessary permits and relocation must
occur prior the issuance of building permits. To the north of the site along
the Park Ridge Boulevard right-of-way, is a row of five street trees and an 18
foot wide maintained grass area which provides some screening for the
adjacent uses. There is no other significant vegetation on the site
Proposed
Development:
The developer is proposing construction of a 10,022 square foot, one story
building, where the assembly of automated packaging machines will be
conducted, and related parking. (see Exhibit "B" - proposed site plan)
Concurrency
a. Traffic - A traffic statement for the project was prepared by Pinder Troutman
Consulting, Inc. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project will comply
with the county's traffic performance standards as it is related to the 63,752
maximum trips permitted in the Quantum Park development. This facility will
generate 67 daily trips, leaving 40,000+ trips for future development. Staff
has received confirmation from the Palm Beach County Traffic division of
traffic standards compliance.
b. Drainage - Conceptual drainage information was provided for the city's review The
city's concurrency ordinance requires drainage certification at time of site
plan approval. The Engineering Division is recommending that the review of
specific drainage solutions be deferred to time of permit review, when the
necessary engineering documents are required. It should be noted that this
site is serviced by master drainage facilities managed by the Quantum
Community Development District (QCDD) Board of Commissioners.
Approval to connect to and use district facilities requires approval from the
QCDD through their established permit process.
Driveways Proposed on-site traffic circulation consists of a loop drive with one
twenty seven (27) foot wide drive aisle access point on High Ridge
Road reducing to a twenty four (24) foot wide drive aisle access point
on Park Ridge Road The proposed twenty seven (27) foot wide
vehicular use area will provide areas containing the standard (9' x 16')
and (9' x 18') parking spaces
Parking Facility There are 26 parking spaces proposed, including two (2) spaces
designated as handicapped accessible The parking plan will meet
the city's Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning and
ADA requirements for this use, and provides no surplus spaces

require that parking requirements be based on number of employees,
however, as employment information is unknown at this time,
minimum required parking spaces were determined using standard
code requirements for each specific use. The parking requirements
are one (1) space for every 300 square feet of office space, and one
(1) space for every 500 square feet of warehouse space
Landscaping
The landscaping of the site will fully meet code requirements when staff
comments are incorporated. Special attention will be given to preserving the
existing right-of-way landscape feature to the north of the lot, which consists
of five (5) right-of-way street trees
Building and Site
Regulations
Building and site regulations will fully meet code requirements when staff
comments are incorporated into the permit drawings.
Community Design
Plan
The proposed building facade, as viewed from either right-of-way, has been
designed to be architecturally compatible to this predominately industrial use
area. The new structure will receive surface treatments and colors of
yellow, light gray and white cementitious finished walls accented with white
moldings and window trim The proposed building is distinctive, yet
complements the surrounding development. Lastly I prior to issuance of
permits, the site plan must be approved by the Quantum Park design review
committee
Signage
A proposed sign age detail was submitted as part of this site plan review
The approved Quantum Park signage plan allows one monument sign, per
parcel, with a maximum sign dimension of 7 feet high by 14 feet wide, and
64 square feet of sign face and/or a wall sign with the square footage equal
to 1 5 times the linear length of the applicable wall. The submitted site plan
utilizes one wall sign style proposed at two different building entry points
Each wall sign consists of 5 - six (6) square foot letters combined to
providing 30 square foot sign, for a total of 60 square feet. In the future if a
site sign is desired, the sign must conform to the established sign program
for the Quantum Park PID
RECOMMENDATION.
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends approval of this site plan request, subject to the
comments included in Exhibit 'c" - Conditions of Approval The Technical Review Committee
(TRC) recommends that the deficiencies identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans
submitted for building permit.
