SUBJECT
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Master Plan Amendment #11
NATURE OF REQUEST
Quantum Park of Commerce is a partially built-out Development of Regional Impact (DRI)
comprised of 553 13 acres, zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) It is located on the
west side of 1-95, between Miner Road extended and the Boynton Canal - (C-16) (See
attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map) The applicant, MFT Development, Inc. is requesting an
amendment to the Quantum Park DRI Development Order (0 0 ) adopted December 4, 1984 by
Ordinance No 84-51 The original 0 0 was subsequently amended 10 times by Ordinance
Nos 86-11, 86-37, 88-3, 94-10, 94-51, 96-33, 96-65, 97-20, 99-05 and 00-02. The current
Master Plan for Quantum Park is provided in Exhibit JIB" - Existing Master Plan. Amendment
#11 proposes to change the existing use designations on 14 lots in the Master Plan to the
"Mixed Use" designation The proposed changes to the Master Plan, which would potentially
represent the second Mixed Use Pod within the PID, are depicted in Exhibit "C" - Proposed
Master Plan and described as follows
1) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 from Officellndustrial
(01) land use to Mixed Use (MU) The proposed Mixed Use designation includes office,
commercial and residential uses,
2) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31
from Office (0) land use to Mixed Use (MU) The proposed Mixed Use designation
includes office, commercial and residential uses; and
3) Increase the maximum number of dwelling units permitted from 500 to 1000
BACKGROUND
An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost governed by
Florida Statutes Chapter 38006 (19) - Substantial Deviations The applicant has submitted a
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
Notice of Proposed Change (NO PC) in accordance with the statutory requirements The NOPC
is reviewed by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council (RPC) and the City The DCA and the RPC review the proposed
NOPC and provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 38006 (19)
The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 1 5, Sec. 4 3A requires a preliminary review
by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DRI Chapter 380 06 F S.
requires that the local governing body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC
The City Commission is required to determine whether the proposed change to the Quantum
Park DRI is or is not a substantial deviation as defined in Chapter 380 06 (19) If it is determined
that the requested change is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant
to the statutory requirements. If the City Commission determines that the proposed change is
not a substantial deviation then they may take action to approve or deny the requested change
The original DRI Development Order adopted a Master Plan for Quantum Park. That Master
Plan has been amended over the years, the latest change being approved on March 7, 2000
The proposed Amendment #11 alters the approved land uses for that Master Plan Therefore
the review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the changes to the Master Plan
for Quantum Park. In addition to the state statutes, staff has reviewed the Master Plan in
accordance with Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned Industrial
Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval First review comments were generated and
the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed the Master Plan change on January 23,2001
ANAL YSIS
Notice of Proposed Chanae (NOPC) - Substantial Deviation
The criteria for determining if a proposed change to a DRI is a substantial deviation are outlined
in Chapter 380 06 (19) In reviewing the statute section staff determined that at least three of the
criteria apply to the proposed change for Quantum Park DRI The first criterion falls under
subsection (b) which reads as follows. "Any proposed change to a previously approved
development of regional impact or development order condition which, either individually or
cumulatively with other changes, exceeds any of the following criteria shall constitute a
substantial deviation and cause the development to be subject to further development-of-
regional-impact review without the necessity for a finding of same by the local
govern ment:"
1 Chapter 380.06(19)(b)9., An increase in the number of dwelling units by 5 percent
or 50 dwelling units, whichever is greater
The proposed change includes an addition of 500 residential dwelling units to the 500
currently permitted for a total of 1000 dwelling units The proposed change exceeds this
threshold However, the proposed change also decreases the permitted industrial and
office square footage totals. In this case, the criterion outlined in Chapter
380 06(19)(e)5 c. applies That criterion is discussed below and would over ride the
determination above
2
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
The second criterion for review of this NOPC relates to a change not specified in the statute
2. Chapter 380 06(19) (e) 3., Except for the change authorized by sub-paragraph 2.1.,
any addition of land not previously reviewed or any change not specified in
paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation.
This presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.
The changes as proposed do not fall into any category specified in the statutory criteria either
assuming a substantial deviation or indicating that it is not a substantial deviation The burden is
on the applicant to provide clear and convincing evidence that it is not a substantial deviation
and subject to further development-of-regional-impact review The information provided by the
applicant, including the Substantial Deviation Determination Chart and the traffic study present
evidence that the increases proposed for residential use, allowed in the Mixed Use designation
is offset by the decreases in the permitted Industrial and Office square footage totals
The third criterion, which is applicable for review of this proposed change is provided in Chapter
380 06(19)(e)5 , which states "The following changes to an approved development of regional
impact shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation Such presumption may be
rebutted by clear and convincing evidence"
3. Chapter 38006(19)(e)5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the
contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases and decreases
of at least two of the uses within a authorized multiuse development of regional
impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified in
380 0651 (3)(c), (d), (f) and (g) and residential use.
As part of the NOPC application the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation
Determination Chart" The applicant has provided an updated chart. Amendment #11
involves changes to three land use categories Industrial, Office and Residential As
stated above, the number of residential dwelling units is proposed to increase by 500
units The permitted Industrial use is proposed to decrease by 375,354 square feet and
office use is proposed to decrease by 72,922 square feet. These changes are reflected
in the "Notes" section on the Master Plan The proposed increase and decreases
maintain the vested traffic generation level of 63,752 average daily trips (ADT)
Conclusion
The proposed change delineated in Amendment #11 is determined not to be a substantial
deviation per Chapter 38006 (19) of the Florida Statutes. The applicant has provided the
Substantial Deviation Table and a traffic study, which provide clear and convincing evidence of
a non-substantial deviation finding Letters from the State of Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council concurring with this determination
are attached as Exhibits "0" and "E "
Master Plan Modification
The proposal submitted for the NOPC modifies the approved Master Plan for the Quantum Park
DRI The changes relate to the development of a second Mixed Use Pod in the northwest
corner of Quantum Corporate Park. This Mixed Use Pod encompasses 14 lots for a total of
23.26 acres. The lots are currently vacant. A descriptive summary of these changes is provided
below
3
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
Lots 7.8.9. 10. and 11
These lots were previously designated as Office/lndustrial (01) Land Use The Land Use has
been revised to "Mixed Use (MU)" The proposed Mixed Use Land Use Designation includes
office, commercial and residential uses.
Lots 23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30 and 31
The Land Use of these lots was previously designated as Office (0) Land Use The Land Use
has been revised to "Mixed Use (MU)" The proposed Mixed Use Land Use Designation
includes office, commercial and residential uses
In addition to the changes described above, the applicant proposes to add 500 dwelling units to
the 500 currently permitted for a total of 1000 multi-family residential units. The Land Use
Acreage Table provided on the Master Plan will be changed as shown below
Land Use Acreaae
Land Use Desianation Proposed Acreaae Existina Acreaae Chanae
Office (0) 12.96 2824 (15.28)
Office/lndustrial (01) 7975 8774 (7 99)
Mixed Use (MU) 8564 62.38 + 23.26
All other categories on the Land Use Acreage Table remain the same as approved in
Amendment #10 The Quantum Park DRI acreage total of 553 13 remains unchanged
The Quantum Park DRI has been amended 10 times over the years, which is not unusual for a
DRI of this type The Florida Statute governing the DRI process, Chapter 38006(19), provides
for and anticipates amendments stating that "There are a variety of reasons why a developer
may wish to propose changes to an approved development of regional impact, including
changed market conditions"
This proposed change to the Master Plan was analyzed from two perspectives The first is the
potential for creating additional regional or local impacts. The second is the consistency and
compatibility of the proposed change with the regulations and policies adopted by the City
through the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies
such as the Visions 20/20 plan
Impacts
Reoional
A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are
considered regional in nature. Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if
the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally
4
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
identified and mitigated In the case of the Quantum park DRI the major issue is whether there
will be an increase in traffic resulting from the land use redistribution/redesignation
A provision in Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park development order requires that II A traffic
study shall be submitted with any future application requesting a change in use designations on
any lot. The City shall hire, at the applicant's expense, an independent traffic consultant to
review the study" In lieu of an independent traffic consultant, the city's Public Works
Department Director, a designated TRC member, conducted the review of the traffic study The
cost of the review will be charged back to the applicant as part of the DRI review fee The
applicant has also transmitted the traffic study to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for
their customary review and approval
Based on the TRC review of the Master Plan, including the traffic study, no additional regional
impacts are evident. The vested number of trips, 63,752 remains unchanged due to the
balancing of increases and decreases in the intensities of the proposed changes to the land use
designations. The Department of Community Affairs and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council focus their review of the amendment on regional issues exclusively Staff has received
a formal written response from both agencies stating that the proposed changes will not create
additional regional impacts.
Local
The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts The development order
for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested changes is within the jurisdiction
of the city As such, the city's main focus is local issues and impacts Besides compatibility with
the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, to be described later, three local
issues were identified during the review process
The first issue relates to local traffic concerns. Jeff Livergood, Public Works Director, reviewed
the Applicant's traffic report, prepared by Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. Mr Livergood
acknowledges that the proposed amendment does not increase the trip generation level beyond
the 63,752 trips vested for the Quantum DRI He does assert however, that the characteristics
of those trips may have changed The applicant was requested to provide additional data
regarding signalized intersections and peak hour analysis. City staff met with the applicant to
discuss the data request and the necessity of a detailed study at this time An agreement was
reached regarding an analysis of traffic signal warrants. This analysis would focus on the
intersections of Quantum Boulevard/Gateway Boulevard and Quantum Boulevard/Congress
Avenue It was agreed that traffic signals, if warranted, would benefit the city and the existing
and future tenants and residents of Quantum Park. The Conditions of Approval - Exhibit "I "
provide the requirements regarding additional traffic analysis necessary to address local traffic
concerns. The full text of this traffic analysis is attached as Exhibit "F II
Adequate utility service is the second local issue of concern regarding the proposed change to
the Quantum Park DRI The Utilities Department expressed this concern in first review TRC
comments. The fact is that the original DRI for the total park was designed for commercial,
industrial and office uses Both the water and wastewater systems were designed to support
these types of uses. Four (4) lift stations were configured to handle the wastewater generation
for the 553 13 acre park. Residential uses were not calculated into the design and may tax the
existing facilities to their limits. The conditions of approval include a requirement that any
upgrade to the water and wastewater system within Quantum Park, due to the intensification of
land use proposed with this application must be performed at the applicant's expense
5
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
The third local issue is related to school facilities. In accordance with Comprehensive Plan
Policy 8.22.1 a copy of the Quantum DRI Notice of Proposed Change (NO PC) was sent to the
School District of Palm Beach County This policy requires the city to notify the School Board of
any residential development over 20 units. The School Board reviewed the NOPC and provided
their response in a letter attached as Exhibit "G" The letter indicates that "a concurrency
determination shall not be required at this time However, they do include two provisions which
they request be applied to the development. The first provision is for the location of a bus
stop/turnaround and shelter at the front gate if the development is a gated community The
second provision is for the notification of buyers and tenants regarding school district
boundaries These provisions are most appropriately applied at time of individual site plan
approval for the residential portions of the Mixed Use Pods.
Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies
Comprehensive Plan
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in Article
2, Section 9, Administration and Enforcement, Item C Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
Rezonings. These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed change
includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Staff has relied on
the criteria as a guide for review of this proposed amendment to the Quantum Park
Development.
a Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive
plan policies including but not limited to, a prohibition against any increase in
dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without written
approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Planning Division and the City's risk
manager The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements, which would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan
According to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Support Document, under the
"Discussion of Supply and Demand for Commercial Land" the following is recommended
"The Future Land Use Plan which is proposed for the City and area to be annexed by
the City will accommodate all of the anticipated demand for commercial land through
build-out. Therefore, the City should not change the land use to commercial categories.
beyond that which is shown on the proposed Future Land Use Plan, except for minor
boundary adjustments, small infill parcels, or commercial uses of a highly specialized
nature, which have special location or site requirements, and therefore cannot, be easily
accommodated on already designated commercial areas."
Policy 1 19 6 of the Land Use Element restates this recommendation
"The City shall not allow commercial acreage which is greater than the demand which
has been projected, unless it can be demonstrated that the additional commercial
acreage would not require the proportion of commercial acreage on the City's Future
Land Use Map to exceed the proportion of commercial acreage on the Palm Beach
County Future Land Use Map The City shall not allow commercial unless a particular
property is unsuitable for other uses, or a geographic need exists which cannot be
6
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
fulfilled by existing commercially-zoned property, and the commercial use would comply
with all other applicable comprehensive plan policies"
Two policies in the Land Use Element addressing the provision of lands for Industrial
development include
Policy 1 192:
"The City shall provide continued effort to allow for industrial acreage which can
accommodate the approximate industrial employment which has been projected in the
Future Land Use Element, and prohibit conversion of land designated "Industrial" on the
currently adopted Future Land Use Map unless such conversion would generate a range
of employment choices for current and future residents, provide goods and services of
regional importance, and retain regional fiscal and economic significance."
and,
Policy 1 194
"The City shall continue to encourage and enforce the development of industrial land as
industrial parks or concentrated industrial areas in order to maximize the linkage
between complementary industries"
At the time of adoption of the 1989 City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan, approximate
acreage for each of the various land use designations included 269 acres for Office
Commercial, 695 acres for Local Retail Commercial and 745 acres for Industrial Quantum s
contribution to these totaled 133 acres for Office Commercial, 30 acres for Local Retail and 199
acres for Industrial
The DRI Amendment allowing the developers to combine the use categories and permit
Office/Industrial, Office/Industrial/Commercial and Mixed Use (CommerciaIlOffice/Multi-family)
provides the developers with a great deal of flexibility Based on estimates provided by the
developer, "Industrial" development can reach as much as 207 72 acres (assuming that all
parcels which can be developed as "Industrial", are so developed) It can also be as low as
101.25 acres, since this is the acreage that cannot be developed for any other use
Similarly, Commercial development can range from a low of 1353 acres to a high of 1259
acres, and Office development can range from 12.96 acres to 205 1 acres
In providing the developers with this high degree of flexibility, the City has reduced any degree
of certainty that the land use allocations within the City will be sufficient to accommodate the
future population of the City and produce the jobs/housing balance that the City hopes to
achieve
b Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern,
or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with
the protection of the public welfare
The proposed rezoning could create an isolated district that would not relate to the adjacent
lands under the same ownership, given the range of uses that could be developed on these
7
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
parcels However, since designations for these parcels remain nebulous, any synergism is
difficult to determine
The previously approved Mixed Use Pod is located adjacent to roads that are a part of the City's
Thoroughfare System and are provided with easy access from 1-95 and is within a five-minute
walk of the local Tri-Rail station The area for which the additional mixed use designation is now
being requested is isolated from all of these components of the transportation network.
c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable
The applicant has provided no indication that there are changing conditions that make the
proposed change desirable. There are some changing conditions that may indicate a contrary
and lessening need for future residential development. Population projections included in the
1989 City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan showed an anticipated permanent population
of 63,373 persons for the year 2000 The 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
acknowledged the optimism of the original projections and lowered the projected 2000
population to 59,393 While preliminary census figures for 2000 are not yet available, the most
recent estimates provided to the city show a current permanent City population of 55,400
In calculating the supply and demand for land for rental apartments, the 1989 Comprehensive
Plan indicated that the land designated for multi-family housing at that time could provide up to
7,330 units. It also projected a demand for multi-family rental units at 4,437 at buildout
(projected to be the year 2010 at that time) This estimate, based on the historic development
trends of housing by type for the city, indicated that 28 7% of the future housing demand would
be for multi-family rental units. At the same time, the demand for all housing was projected to
be 39,365 units to accommodate a 2010 year-round population of 78,232 persons The
projected supply, based on land use designations, was 39,424 units, providing a slight surplus
at buildout. There is no indication that any additional housing units will be ultimately needed or
any reason warranted for placing 500 additional units in the potential housing supply at this
time
d. Whether the proposed use would be compatible with utility systems, roadways, and
other public facilities.
The Utilities Department has indicated that any unforeseen impacts to the water and sewer
systems and related levels of service will be borne by the developer The updated Traffic Impact
Analysis submitted with the request for amendment indicates that the traffic generated will be
within the limits for which the DRI is vested With respect to solid waste, the Solid Waste
Authority has stated, within a letter dated January 8, 2001, that adequate capacity exists to
accommodate the county's municipalities throughout the 10-year planning period Drainage will
also be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan approvals, and must satisfy all requirements of
the city and local drainage permitting authorities. Lastly, the Parks and Recreation Department
has detailed the requirements that must be met in order for its levels of service standards to be
maintained
e Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the current and future use
of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of adjacent or
nearby properties.
The 1989 Comprehensive Plan contains policies dealing with the general incompatibilities
between "Industrial" and "Residential" land uses and recommends physical separation and
8
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
buffering to ameliorate those effects The proposed location for the additional multi-family units
is adjacent to properties developed for industrial and office uses and is bisected by Quantum
Boulevard On the east the property is buffered from existing development by a water
management tract and on the west by the E-4 Canal The development of an additional 500
multi-family units in this portion of the DRI will likely hinder the use of adjacent lands for their
originally intended purpose and therefore further change the overall nature of the entire
development.
Recent studies, both within Florida and at the national level comparing government revenues to
expenses for various land uses, indicate that residential development creates deficits while
commercial and industrial development creates surpluses. An increase in residential uses and
the attendant increase in demands on services without accompanying increases in revenues
from other sources, i e employment-based development, can create operating deficits for local
government.
f Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning
On February 29, 2000, a representative of the Quantum development stated to the City
Commission that the property could be sold and developed for industrial uses at that time.
There is no indication that conditions have changed to the extent that the same would not be
true only one year later
g Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the
needs of the neighborhood and the city as a whole
As discussed above, there is no justification provided by the applicant to convert lands
earmarked for development as an employment center to residential development. If one of the
goals of the City is to maintain a jobs/housing balance, as lands designated for employment-
based development are reduced, a corresponding need for housing diminishes Otherwise, the
City becomes merely a bedroom community for other, more successful, employment centers in
the County
The applicant offered as a justification for the proposed change, the argument that, "the
preferred form of development that would result is the creation of a new village" (Exhibit "H") It
also offers an opportunity for residents to be able to satisfy some of their retail shopping and
service needs without placing additional transportation demands on an already burdened
network.
However, the creation of a "new village" in this location is in direct opposition to the City's goal
of revitalizing its traditional urban core. Moreover, the proposed residential units would be
competing for the same market as those in the downtown core area, and again, the location of
the proposed Mixed Use Pod would not be supported by optimal access and visibility from a
major traffic corridor
h Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in
districts where such use is already allowed
With the recent approval of apartment developments, there are now more than 1 ,500 approved
but unbuilt multi-family housing units within the City Five hundred of those are approved for
development in the Quantum DRI At the time of their approval, the developers of Quantum
9
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
agreed to a limitation of 500 total residential units within the development. The addition of
another 500 units seems highly unnecessary without some understanding of the rate at which
the market will absorb the approved units.
Land Development Requlations
The Quantum Park DRI is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PI D) Coincident with the
approval of Quantum Amendment #10, the PID district regulations were amended per
Ordinance No 000-03 to allow' "mixed use residential/commercial uses in PID's totaling a
minimum of 500 acres." Subsequent to the adoption of Quantum Amendment #10 the land
Development regulations were amended to allow mixed use pods of commercial, retail, multi-
family residential and office/professional use in a PID This Ordinance No 000-52 also provided
for design guidelines, submission requirements, review and waiver provisions related to a Mixed
Use Pod Master Plan As provided in the ordinance, the definition of a Mixed Use Pod is as
follows
"Ch.2, Sec. 7 P1.A. - For the purpose of this subsection, a Mixed Use Pod is defined as a
development project located entirely within a previously approved PID which, when complete,
will have all the following uses.
1 multi-family residential
2. commercial/retail
3 office and professional
The residential component of the Mixed Use Pod may include fee simple and rental dwelling
units. A Mixed Use Pod is the aggregate of all land within the PID consolidated and designated
for mixed uses"
The NOPC for amendment #11 as proposed will create a second Mixed Use Pod as defined
above If approved, the second Mixed Use Pod would be regulated consistent with the
requirements as adopted in Ordinance No 000-52 described above
Conclusion
As indicated herein, the impacts of the proposed development on the utility systems, roadways
and public facilities are either within the existing capacities or additional provisions will be
required of the developer to ensure that levels of service standards are not compromised
Additionally, the physical location of the proposed change could be buffered to lessen the
impacts of the development on existing and future surrounding development. However, there
has been no justification presented by the applicant that would refute the findings contained
herein, nor specifically justify its conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or its disadvantages
regarding location and fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 38006(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has
demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change is not a substantial
deviation requiring additional development of regional impact review
Regarding the modification to the Quantum Park Master Plan staff recommends denial of the
request for the following reasons.
10
Quantum Park - DRIA 00-002/MPMD 00-007
Memorandum No PZ 01-017
. The reduction in land available for industrial uses, without satisfying the provisions in
Policy 1 19.2, is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, and specifically Policies
1 19.2 and 1 194,
. The conversion of lands to residential use reduces the City's employment base,
. The cost of providing services to residential development is more costly than the
revenue provided, whereas employment-based development more than pays for the
services it requires.
. The development of an additional 500 dwelling units in this location is in direct
opposition to goals for the revitalization of the downtown as embodied in the Vision
20/20 Master Redevelopment Plan, and,
. A mixed use project is not appropriate at the proposed location.
If the City Commission makes a decision to approve the Master Plan for Amendment #11, staff
recommends the Conditions of Approval be included as provided in Exhibit "I" attached

Subject. Quantum Park Development of RegIOnal Impact
NotIfication of Proposed Change
Dear Mr Rumpf
In accordance with the requirements of Section 380 06(19), Flonda Statutes (F S ), we have
reviewed the "Notification of a Proposed Change to a PrevIOusly Approved Development of
RegIOnal Impact (DRI)" (NO PC) for the Quantum Park DRI dated December 19,2000
The NOPC proposes the following reviSIOns to the master plan.
1) Lots 7,8,9,10, and 11 land use designatIOn is to be changed from office/industnal to
ffilxed use, which allows office, commercIal, and reSIdential uses
2) Lots 23, 24, 25,26,27,28,29,30, and 31 land use deSIgnation is to be changed from
office to mIXed use, WhICh allows office, commercial, and reSIdential uses.
The applIcant proposes to decrease office and mdustnal square footage to allow addItIOnal
commercial square footage and dwellmg umts. The proposed changes are presumed to create
a substantial deviation pursuant to SectIOn 38006(19)(e)3 and 380 06(19)(e)5 c, Flonda
Statutes CouncIl has revIewed the mformation and determined that the proposed changes
will not create any additIOnal regIOnal Impacts
CouncIl recogmzes and appreciates the applicant's efforts to create a good mIX of land uses
and provide for a more sustainable form of development for a portIOn of the proJect. Council
would be mterested in revIewing the proposed site plan and discussing possible reviSIOns that
would further the goals and pOlicIeSr9f Council' s ~~~ategIc RegIOnal PolIcy Plan.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

Jeffrey R. LIvergood, DIrector of PublIc Works..j~L--
FROM.
DATE
January 16,2001, Amended February 6, 2001
SUBJECT
Quantum NOPC #11
I have revIewed the petltloner's request to modIfy the overall SIte plan for Quantum Park and
offer my traffic-related comments. It IS apparent that there IS a long hIStOry of cooperatIOn
between the developer and the City and It IS deSIrable to contlnue buildmg upon thIS spmt.
l:{owever, traffic Impact from thIS development will affect many thousands of people each day
Therefore, It IS m both the CIty'S and developer's best mterest to msure that traffic generated by
the development can be reasonably accommodated both mternal and external to the SIte.
Based upon my bnefreVIew of the many development documents, It appears that the Quantum
Park DR! has been vested with a total of63,752 daily vehicle trIps. However, each subsequent
reVlSlon of the DR! has suggested a new allowance for daily vehIcle trIps and the assocIated peak
hour generated traffic Agam, all allowances are based upon the total trIps denved in 1984 based
upon vanous use types as well as generatIOn rates m effect at that tlme. Although I have not had
the OppOrtunIty to reVIew the mItlal traffic report developed m 1984, I can only assume that the
report conSIdered off SIte traffic growth and other development m the Boynton Beach area.
It IS qUIte common for local governments to "vest" certam developments WIth allowable traffic
generatIOn because often tlmes development build out occurs over multIple years. It IS
Impractlcal to analyze traffic generatlon as part of each construction phase. ThIS would Impart a
SIgnIficant burden upon a developer who must secure fundmg and tenant commItments.
However, local government and the developer must also recognIze that development extended
over long, and unexpected, penods will cause many of the ongmal assumptIOns to be changed,
often large m scale. Assumptlons related to types of land use as well as regIOnal traffic growth
are all unknown vanables when proJectmg many years mto the future.
The developer IS now requestmg further modIficatlons to the vanous land uses ~n the approved
DR!. These changes, while not SIgnIficantly altering the overall traffic generated m a 24-hour
penod, will most certamly change the peak hour traffic flows. Thus, concerns about the capaCIty
of both the internal and external roadway networks anse
I belIeve It prudent to reqUIre the developer to address traffic Issues as a result of Plan
Amendment #11 It IS mcumbent upon both the City and developer to msure that traffic related
assumptIOns developed nearly 17 years ago remam valId. The developer should prOVIde further
detail about the vanous land uses m the DR! and then allocate generated traffic to known
condItlons on the surroundmg artenal roadway network mstead of traffic condItlons that were
prOjected m 1984
EXHIBIT "F"
I recommend that the developer proVIde the followmg addItlOnal mformatIon.
1 Measurement of eXIstmg traffic condItlOns (2001) on Gateway Blvd. between 1-95 and
Congress Avenue.
2. EvaluatIon of eXIstmg (200 l) Level of ServIce (LOS) at all SIgnalIzed mtersectlOns between,
and mcludmg, 1-95 and Congress Avenue.
3 IdentIficatlOn of traffic generatlOn from all development WIth pnor CIty approval.
4 IdentIficatIon of future traffic generatlOn from antIcIpated build out of Quantum Park.
5 Assessment of background traffic growth on Gateway Blvd between 2001 and the antIcIpated
buIld out date of the entIre Quantum Park development.
6 EvaluatlOn of LOS along Gateway Blvd. and at all SIgnalIzed mtersectlOns gIVen full build
out of Quantum Park and assummg normal growth m background traffic
7 The traffic report should detail traffic condItIons m both the mornmg and afternoon peak
hours. LOS for each penod should be clearly IdentIfied at all referenced locatlOns.
8 The traffic report should determme if addItional on SIte or off SIte Improvements are
necessary to support the proposed development.
Summary
The traffic reports presented thus far by the developer have done a satIsfactory Job, If one
assumes that the current mIX of land use is conSIstent WIth the vanous land uses as approved m
1984 However, as would be expected, a changmg economIC climate has brought modIficatlOns
to the development mIX. We would expect thIS of any qualIty developer such as Quantum.
However, m addItIon to realIzmg that economIC demands are forcmg development modIficatlOn,
we must assume that other changes to traffic condItlOns on the surroundmg roadway network
have occurred, or will occur, as well. Thus, It IS only lOgical to fully evaluate the changed traffic
condItIons as we evaluate the modIfied land uses. They are mterrelated.
Report Amendment
February 6, 2001
Based upon the mformatIon contamed m the above staff report, CIty staff have met on two
separate occaSlOns WIth Quantum offiCIals to dISCUSS the ments of addItIonal traffic data
collectlOn m order to address local, not reglOnal, concerns related to traffic Impact from the
development to the local roadway system. Upon completIon of these meetmgs, It was determmed
that the eIght condItIons referenced above are, perhaps, too strIngent gIVen the proposal contamed
m NOPC #11 Therefore, the CIty does not reqUIre the completIon of all eIght traffic-related
Issues at thIS tIme Staff does retam the nght to request reVIew of the referenced Items m the
future as further build out of Quantum Park proceeds m order to msure that responsible attentIon
IS gIVen traffic congestIon.
However, Quantum has agreed that certain lImIted traffic analYSIS may not only be m the mterest
of the CIty but m the interest of theIr tenants and future reSIdents as well. Therefore, staff and
Quantum offiCIals agree that analYSIS of traffic SIgnal warrants is deSIrable at the mtersectlOns of
Quantum Blvd. WIth Congress Avenue and Quantum Blvd. WIth Gateway Blvd. Therefore, staff
prOVIdes the follOWIng amended condItIons of approval for NOPC #11
1 The petItlOner should endeavor to conduct a traffic analYSIS of eXIstmg mornmg and afternoon peak hour condItIons at the above two referenced mtersectlOns. (ThIS IS
ongomg as of this report date)
EXHIBIT "F"
2. The petItIoner's traffic engmeer should evaluate warrant cntena for the mstallatIon of
traffic actuated sIgnals at the referenced mtersectIons consIdenng the followmg traffic
volume parameters.
a. EXIstmg traffic volumes (2001)
b AddItIon of dIstributed traffic generated by all prevIOusly approved development
usmg the latest ITE trIp generatIOn cntena.
c AddItIOn of dIstributed traffic generated by development proposed m NOPC
#11,usmg the latest ITE trIp generatIOn cntena.
3 Should warrant analysIs prove that traffic actuated sIgnals would not be requIred
accordmg to condItIons #2 above, then staff finds that no addItIonal traffic related
analysIs or dIscussIOn IS reqUIred for NOPC #11
4 Should warrant analysIs prove that any warrant cntena set forth m the most current
edItIon of the Manual on Umform Traffic Control DeVIces are realIzed, then the
petItIOner shall provIde the CIty WIth an Irrevocable letter of credIt, m an amount
commensurate wIth costs assocIated wIth the desIgn and constructIOn of traffic and
pedestrIan actuated SIgnals, for one or both mtersectIOns that have met warrant cntena.
ThIS letter of credIt shall be provIded the CIty by the petItIOner pnor to the Issuance of
buildmg permIts for any facilIty proposed m NOPC #11 The determmatIOn of traffic
SIgnal warrant analYSIS IS therefore not a condItIon of approval of NO PC #11 Rather,
evaluatIOn and potentmlImplementatIon of the traffic SIgnal analYSIS will be a condItIon
placed upon Issuance of future buildmg permIts.

Notice of Proposed Change - Master Plan Amendment #11 - Quantum Park
Dear Mr Rumpf
The School District staff has evaluated the impacts of the proposed amendment to the
Development Order Master Plan on the school system
The School District, Palm Beach County and local governments, including Boynton Beach,
have adopted public school concurrency for the coordinated planning of schools to meet student
growth from residential development. Concurrency will be implemented upon the final local
government adopting its Public School Facility Element and the amendment to the Capital
Improvement Element and adopting its implementing ordinance A concurrency determination
shall not be required at this time
Through concurrency the county will be geographically divided into Concurrency Service Areas
(CSA) for better planning of school utilization This proposed development in located in CSA 17
The schools serving that portion of CSA 17 and adjacent CSA s 14,15,18 and 19, may be
subject to annual adjustments of boundaries to accommodate new schools equalize utilization
and provide capacity for the new student growth
The proposed addition of 500 multi-family units to the Quantum Park DRI located at Miner Road
between the Boynton Canal, west of 1-95 is in Concurrency Service Area (CSA) 17 and may
generate up to 30 elementary, 80 middle and 80 high school students Upon build-out, the
District anticipates there will be capacity in CSA 17 and adjacent CSA's to accommodate the
student growth from this development.
Please provide the phasing for the development so that we may better plan for the students
through build-out.
Additionally the School District requests that the City review the Plan for the inclusion of the

RE. Quantum Park - Amendment/NOPC #11
Dear Ms. Galav'
As you know, this firm represents the Quantum Group of Companies with respElct to the Notice
Of Proposed Change #11 previously submitted I write you this letter with respect to the staff's request
as set forth in Comment No 20 for a written justification for the proposed change
The Notice of Proposed Change Number 11 centers on the addition of residential and
commercial usage being added to an existing office, creating a furtherance of mixed usage.
Strong market demand for residential mixed use discourages suburban spr;3wl by creating
compact urban areas within the City and its utility service area The preferred form of development
which would result is the creation of a new village As a mixed use project, innovative methods of
regulating land development can be used to customize the master plan based on the surrounding land
uses.
Adjacent land uses currently include residential, City park land a water management tract,
office, Industrial, commercial and a hotel. A new high school is now within walking distance of the
proposed fluxed use The mixed use area is immediately adjacent to a footbridge across the lake to
existing employment opportunrtJes The pedestrian and bicycle systems within the park will connect
this mixed use area to other developments throughout Qu~ntum Park, as well as c(Jnnections to a
regional TriRail facility encouraging alternate methods of transportation

proposed change, and mclude a descriptIon of the mIxed use pod (i.e. use
locations, circulatIon systems, conceptual design concepts, etc.). Since It
represents a change m pnncipalland uses (or potentIal land uses), mdIcate
whether the proposed change would be consIstent With comprehensive plan
polIcIes; IS contrary to the existmg land use pattern, IS based on change or
changing condItIOns, and whether the proposed change IS of a scale whIch IS
reasonably related to the needs of the immediate area and the city as a whole.
Also mdIcate if the property IS developable under the existmg categories and
whether there are adequate SItes elsewhere m the CIty for the proposed use, m
areas where the use IS already allowed. Justification and data shall support
elimmatIOn of the land available for mdustnal uses based on cIty-wide needs
and supply

#10 m March, 2000 To date, no development has been proposed whIch
combmes all the uses as reqUIred by the Land Development Regulations in
the defimtIOn ofa MIxed Use Pod m a Pill The only plans subrmtted and
approved to date are for Grotto Bay, a multi-family resIdentIal portIOn of the
Mixed Use Pod. The applicant should demonstrate the ViabilIty of the Mixed
Use deSIgnation. Staff recommends that the NOPC/Master Plan approval for
Amendment #11 mclude a conditIon whIch reqUIres a minimum of20 acres
ofland deSIgnated as MIxed Use be developed With the full rmx of
commercIal/retail/and office uses before the addItIOnal 500 umts of resIdentIal

SUBJECT
Quantum NOPC #11
I have revIewed the petItIoner's request to modIfy the overall sIte plan for Quantum Park and
offer my traffic-related comments. It IS apparent that there IS a long hIStOry of cooperatIon
between the developer and the City and it IS deSIrable to continue buildmg upon thIS spmt.
However, traffic Impact from thIS development will affect many thousands of people each day
Therefore, It IS m both the CIty'S and developer's best mterest to insure that traffic generated by
the development can be reasonably accommodated both mternal and external to the sIte.
Based upon my bnef reVIew ofthe many development documents, It appears that the Quantum
Park DR! has been vested WIth a total of 63,752 daily vehIcle trIpS. However, each subsequent
reVISIon of the DR! has suggested a new allowance for daily vehIcle tnps and the assocIated peak
hour generated traffic Agam, all allowances are based upon the total tnps denved m 1984 based
upon vanous use types as well as generatIon rates m effect at that time Although I have not had
the opportumty to reVlew the ImtIal traffic report developed m 1984, I can only assume that the
report considered off sIte traffic growth and other development m the Boynton Beach area.
It IS qUlte common for local governments to "vest" certam developments WIth allowable traffic
generatIon because often tImes development build out occurs over multIple years. It IS
impractIcal to analyze traffic generatIon as part of each constructIon phase. ThIS would Impart a
slgmficant burden upon a developer who must secure fundmg and tenant commItments.
However, local government and the developer must also recognize that development extended
over long, and unexpected, penods will cause many of the ongmal assumptlOns to be changed,
often large m scale AssumptIons related to types ofland use as well as reglOnal traffic growth
are all unknown vanables when proJectmg many years mto the future.
The developer IS now requestmg further modIficatIons to the vanous land uses m the approved
DR!. These changes, while not SIgnIficantly altenng the overall traffic generated m a 24-hour
penod, will most certamly change the peak hour traffic flows. Thus, concerns about the capaCIty
of both the mternal and external roadway networks anse.
I beheve It prudent to reqUlre the developer to address traffic Issues as a result of Plan
Amendment #11 It IS mcumbent upon both the City and developer to msure that traffic related
assumptlOns developed nearly 17 years ago remam vahd. The developer should provide further
detaIl about the varIOUS land uses m the DR! and then allocate generated traffic to known
condItIons on the surroundmg artenal roadway network mstead of traffic condItIons that were
projected m 1984
I recommend that the developer proVIde the followmg addltlOnal mformatlOn.
1 Measurement of eXlstmg traffic condItIons (2001) on Gateway Blvd. between 1-95 and
Congress Avenue
2 EvaluatIon of eXlstmg (2001) Level of ServIce (LOS) at all sIgnalIzed mtersectlOns between,
and mcludmg, 1-95 and Congress Avenue.
3 IdentIficatIon of traffic generatIon from all development WIth pnor CIty approval.
4 IdentIficatIon of future traffic generatIon from antICIpated build out of Quantum Park.
5 Assessment of background traffic growth on Gateway Blvd between 2001 and the antIcIpated
build out date of the entIre Quantum Park development.
6 EvaluatlOn of LOS along Gateway Blvd. and at all sIgnalIzed mtersectIons gIVen full build
out of Quantum Park and assummg normal growth m background traffic
7 The traffic report should detail traffic condItIons m both the mornmg and afternoon peak
hours. LOS for each penod should be clearly IdentIfied at all referenced locatIons.
8 The traffic report should determme If addItional on SIte or off SIte Improvements are
necessary to support the proposed development.
Summary
The traffic reports presented thus far by the developer have done a satIsfactory Job, If one
assumes that the current mIX of land use IS conSIstent WIth the vanous land uses as approved m
1984 However, as would be expected, a changmg economIC clImate has brought modlficatlOns
to the development mIX. We would expect thIS of any qualIty developer such as Quantum.
However, m addltlOn to realIzmg that economIC demands are forcmg development modlficatlOn,
we must assume that other changes to traffic condItIons on the surroundmg roadway network
have occurred, or will occur, as well. Thus, It IS only logIcal to fully evaluate the changed traffic
condItIons as we evaluate the modIfied land uses. They are mterrelated.
Report Amendment
February 6, 2001
Based upon the mformation contamed m the above staff report, CIty staff have met on two
separate occaSlOns WIth Quantum offiCIals to dISCUSS the ments of addltlOnal traffic data
collectIon m order to address local, not reglOnal, concerns related to traffic Impact from the
development to the local roadway system. Upon completlOn of these meetmgs, It was determmed
that the eIght condItIons referenced above are, perhaps, too strIngent gIVen the proposal contamed
m NOPC #11 Therefore, the CIty does not reqUIre the completIon of all eight traffic-related
issues at thIS tIme. Staff does retam the nght to request reVIew of the referenced Items m the
future as further build out of Quantum Park proceeds m order to msure that responsible attentlOn
IS gIven traffic congestIon.
However, Quantum has agreed that certam lImIted traffic analYSIS may not only be m the mterest
of the CIty but m the mterest of theIr tenants and future reSIdents as well. Therefore, staff and
Quantum offiCIals agree that analysis of traffic SIgnal warrants IS deSIrable at the mtersectlOns of
Quantum Blvd. WIth Congress Avenue and Quantum Blvd. with Gateway Blvd. Therefore, staff
proVIdes the followmg amended condItIons of approval for NOPC #11
1 The petItlOner should endeavor to conduct a traffic analYSIS of eXlstmg mornmg and
afternoon peak hour condItIons at the above two referenced mtersectlOns. (ThIS IS
ongomg as of thIS report date)
2. The petItIoner's traffic engmeer should evaluate warrant cntena for the mstallatIOn of
traffic actuated sIgnals at the referenced mtersectIOns considering the followmg traffic
volume parameters.
a. EXIstmg traffic volumes (2001)
b AddItIon of dIstributed traffic generated by all prevIOusly approved development
usmg the latest ITE trip generatIon cntena.
c AddItIon of dIstributed traffic generated by development proposed m NOPC
#11,usmg the latest ITE trIp generatIOn cntena.
3 Should warrant analysIs prove that traffic actuated sIgnals would not be reqUIred
accordmg to condItIons #2 above, then staff finds that no addItIonal traffic related
analysIs or dIscussIOn IS requITed for NOPC #11
4 Should warrant analysIs prove that any warrant cntena set forth m the most current
edItIOn of the Manual on Umform Traffic Control DeVIces are realIzed, then the
petItIOner shall provIde the CIty WIth an Irrevocable letter of credIt, m an amount
commensurate WIth costs assocIated WIth the deSIgn and construction of traffic and
pedestrIan actuated SIgnals, for one or both mtersectIOns that have met warrant cntena.
ThIS letter of credIt shall be prOVIded the CIty by the petItIoner prior to the issuance of
buildmg permIts for any facilIty proposed III NOPC #11 The determmatIOn of traffic
SIgnal warrant analYSIS IS therefore not a condItIon of approval of NO PC #11 Rather,
evaluatIon and potentIal ImplementatIOn of the traffic SIgnal analYSIS will be a condItIon
placed upon Issuance of future buildmg permIts.

2. On the surface, their request to change the ZOnIng on Lots 7 through 11, and
Lots 23 through 31 (a total of 14 lots) from Office & Industnal to MIxed Use,
seems simple enough.
However, wIth the ongInal DR! for the total park desIgned for CommercIal,
Industnal, Office, or an cOmbInatIOn of Office and Industnal, and/or Office,
Industnal and CommercIal, both the water and wastewater systems to support
these type of antIcIpated uses was desIgned and constructed for those
antIcIpated uses. Four (4) 11ft statIOns were configured to handle the
wastewater generation antICIpated on the 550 acre park.
Recently, the CIty allowed the converSIOn of three (3) lots (#59 through 61)
from Office & Industnal to MIxed Use, whIch Included some 272 apartment
UnIts, some 228 apartment UnIts awaIt IncorporatIOn Into Lots 62 through 67 ,
Now, WIth the antIcIpated addItIOn of approximately 500 apartment UnIts on
the 14 lots noted above, the eXIstIng utilIty support facilItIes could be taxed to
theIr lImIts.
A proviso needs to be Incorporated Into each lot( s) approval process that the
design engIneenng consultants shall demonstrate that suffiCIent utilIty
system(s) capaCIty IS available to support the proposed use, or they WIll
prOVIde the necessary upgrade(s) to allow for the proposed use. Failure to do
so could result In InsuffiCIent utilIty support to thIS park, affectIng other

QUANTUM PARK OF COMMERCE
INTERSECTION ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. (PTC) has been retained to analyze operations at two (2)
unsignalized intersections serving Quantum Park of Commerce. These intersections are
1 Gateway Boulevard and Quantum Boulevard
2 Congress Avenue and Quantum Boulevard
The purpose of this study is to identify the existing and near term need for signalization at either or
both of these intersections.
DATA COLLECTION
AM and PM peak period manual turning movement counts were conducted at each intersection on
Tuesday, February 6, 2001 These counts were conducted from 7 00 AM to 9 00 AM and from 4 00
PM to 6 00 PM Traffic count summaries are provided as Exhibits 1 and 2 with the existing AM and
PM peak hour volumes summarized on Exhibit 3
ANALYSIS PROCEDURES
As a first step in the analysis, projects currently under construction plus background growth have
been added to the existing volumes to project near term (2002) volumes. Included in the estimated
year 2002 intersection peak hour volumes is the traffic projected to be generated by development of
Lots 3, 32 through 38, 52, 68A & B, 69, 70, 72 and 73 Traffic generated by the new Boynton Beach
High School IS also included Projected 2002 volumes at the two intersections are shown on Exhibit
4 The next step in the process is to incrementally add peak hour volumes generated by the
previously approved NOPC # 10 and the currently proposed NOPC # 11 land uses to the
intersections being analyzed Peak hour intersection volumes for 2004 (with NOPC # 10) and 2006
(with NOPC # 11) are shown on Exhibits 5 and 6 respectively
SIGNAL WARRANY ANALYSES
The Peak Hour Volume (Warrant 11) signal warrant analyses are shown on Exhibits 7 thru 10
Exhibit 7 provides the 2002 warrant analysis for the Gateway Boulevard / Quantum Boulevard
intersection The traffic projections show that the warrant for the PM peak hour is met. Exhibits 8, 9
and 10 are the signal warrant analyses (Warrant 11) for the Congress Avenue / Quantum Boulevard
intersection Based on the peak hour traffic projections in this study, Warrant 11 will not be met.
However, it needs to be recognized that these are projections based on the best data available In
addition there are other Warrants, No 2 - Interruption of Continuous Traffic and No 10 - Peak
Hour Delay that may be satisfied The recommendation is that this intersection be monitored in the
future. Appropriate time frames for monitoring would be at the buildout of Lots 32 through 38 and
at the buildout of the NOPC 11 residential or non-residential land uses, whichever occurs first.
