Impact review is necessary regarding such changes, approving such
changes and amending the Development Order for purposes of

Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No 01-14 by title only
Commissioner Rsher asked if staff had any updates on this item
Mr Quintus Greene, Director of Development and CRA Director, took the podium and said that
staff was prepared to discuss the technical merits of this case. In August 2000 the City
Commission held a goals' retreat where 55 strategic initiatives in eight broad categories were
developed. One category was entitled "guiding appropriate development and redevelopment in
Boynton Beach" Within this category were two high priority initiatives, one to develop an
outline and action plan the Federal Highway/Martin Luther King/Boynton Beach Corridor The
second high initiative was for promotion of development in the City that would contribute to the
diversification of the City's economy
Staff feels that issues in this case go against the strategic goals outlined by the Commission less
than one year ago. Mr Greene pointed out that the representatives from Quantum Park are on
record that they are proposing a new downtown for Boynton Beach in Quantum Park. This is in
conflict with the Commission's goal of revitalizing downtown along Federal Highway It is the
opinion of the City's professional staff that Quantum's proposal is not only inconsistent with the
goals of the Commission, but has the potential to actually damage existing and future
revitalization efforts by diluting the multi-family residential market necessary to support the
commercial rebirth of downtown Boynton Beach
Also, Mr Greene pointed out that Quantum's proposal is inconsistent with the goal of promoting
development that would contribute to the diversification of the City's economy This proposal
removes 23 acres of land from an industrial land use category and converts it to residential
development. This would be in addition to the more than 60 acres that were removed from an
industrial category in the same area for essentially the same purpose just one year ago. Staff
recommends that the proposed modification of the Quantum Master Plan be denied.
Commissioner Fisher pointed out that Boynton Beach currently has 6,000 apartments, Delray
Beach has 4,000 and Boca Raton has 4,000 and questioned if a new analysis should be
undertaken from an apartment point of view on how much the City could absorb.
Commissioner Fisher said that he did not see enough commercial construction in Quantum to
support additional apartments at this time.
Vice Mayor Weiland noted that last March the Commission was asked to approve 500 residential
units in Quantum Park and this was agreed to by all parties. Now Quantum is coming back
asking for an additional 500 apartments before the first shovel of dirt has been turned Vice
Mayor Weiland felt that 500 additional apartments was not warranted in Quantum Park.
Commissioner Black felt that the Commission should follow staff's recommendation
Commissioner Black noted that when the first project was approved last March, there is still no
permit waiting in City Hall to build the mixed-use offices, the movie theater, the 76,650 square

."
#
feet of restaurants, and the 82,000 square feet of office space. Mr Black has concerns that the
projects will remain strictly residential and the mixed-use will never come to fruition
,.
Commissioner Ferguson pointed out that the Commission is not being asked to approve any
more apartments and this is merely a conceptual design being presented tonight.
Commissioner Ferguson pointed out that the Planning & Development Board voted 6-1 in favor
of the project, as well as it being approved by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
Commissioner Fisher felt it was an issue of timing and if this particular piece of property was
difficult to build on, perhaps the City and representatives of Quantum could sit down and
discuss the issue. Commissioner Fisher feels that the City should cooperate with Quantum and
sit down and discuss with them what the City would like to see go up on this land.
Mayor Broening did not feel that this project would compete with a downtown project and that
in staff's report it states that the demand for apartments for Palm Beach County is great and
Mayor Broening feels the demand is there. Mayor Broening also pointed out that the
development is essentially built out except for a relatively few acres. He stated that he
supports the project conceptually, but also feels that the Commission should listen to staff
Because this is first reading of an ordinance, there is no public input. However, Mayor Broening
asked Mr Wische, Chairman of the Planning and Development Board to make any comments if
he so wished.
Mr. Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street noted that the project came before the Planning and
Development Board as a conceptual project and would not be built tomorrow The other phase
must be built first, but the applicant needs the go ahead in order to make future plans.
Mayor Broening asked Attorney David Norris to comment on behalf of the applicant. Mr Norris
disagreed that not much has been accomplished since the applicant's first mixed-use project
had been approved last March. Mr Norris pointed out that after that approval, it was necessary
for them to request a change in the code to permit a mixed-use development, which took a
great deal of time. The applicant then went through the site plan process for Grotto Bay, the
residential component of the project. Mr Norris stated they were close to having the building
permits issued to begin development. After that, they plan on coming into the City with their
Master Plan for the entire development. Mr Norris also pointed out that they offered their staff
to assist the City staff with the City's park project.
Further, Mr Norris said there was a demand for apartments and they would not be building
apartments if the demand was not there. Also, the area being proposed for the project is a
prime area for residential mixed-use component. Mr Norris also stated that they were required
by Code to do the mixed-use, but staff previously indicated that that they did not want to get
into the timing and that this was the developer's decision Mr Norris requested that the project
be allowed
Vice Mayor Weiland said that Mr McDonald told him last March that the project would begin in
July or August of 2000. To date nothing has happened. Vice Mayor Weiland suggested that
after the 62-acre project is completed, that the applicant come back to the Commission if the
need for more residential surfaces. Vice Mayor Weiland saw no urgency tonight to approve the
l conceptual idea.

February 20, 2001
Mr Norris reiterated that it has taken this long to get started with the first project due to the
newness of the mixed-use designation to the City and they are on the verge of getting their
permits. Mr Bressner pointed out that the City worked with Quantum to change the Code to
assist them in process and the City recognized that the zoning ordinance was not applicable to
what Quantum wanted and the City accommodated them
Mayor Broening reported that the Commission was here tonight to consider the applicant's
concept for this particular piece of property Mayor Broening did not feel that the 55 initiatives
set by the City applied to this application.
Mr Greene felt the issue is where the City wants to focus its efforts in terms of development.
Mr Greene said that in order for Boynton Beach to have a viable cOl11mercial downtown it is
absolutely essential that the City has a strong residential base to support it.
Mr Rumpf, Director of Planning, pointed out that there is a need for rental units, but
questioned how long the need would last. Mr Rumpf also noted that it will take a greater effort
to develop the downtown than placing units in Quantum Park. Mr Rumpf felt if units went up
elsewhere in the City, it could weaken the efforts being made in the downtown
Mr Eugene Gerlica, representing the Quantum Group, said that many of the facts stated by Mr
Greene are wrong Mr Gerlica stated that the initiative was done in August 2000 and the
mixed-use project of 62 acres was approved in March 2000. He stated that they have been
working aggressively in both the planning and permitting stages. With regard to the loss of 23
acres of industrial land, Mr Gerlica pointed out that only seven acres have office or industrial
use designation and there has been very little interest for industrial use in this land Of the 62
acres in the first project, 22 1/2 acres was designated attraction and recreation and on the south
side, 22 acres was commercial Mr Gerlica stated that it takes 120 days to get a South Florida
Water Management permit in order to move the dirt and that permit application was made in
December 1999 After the approval came through to clear the land and move the dirt,
application was made to the City Also, they redesigned the Clubhouse.
Mr Gerlica stated that they have joint ventured the entire development with Owen
Development that builds apartments throughout the County and is now focusing upon the Palm
Beach County market. They have built in Delray Beach and Manatee Bay in Boynton Beach It
is anticipated that the Master Site Plan will be submitted in mid-April
Mr Bressner said that staff proceeds based upon a number of information points, technical
review; impact; various merits of a development; and a great deal of consideration is given to
what staff has directed as priorities in the City Mr Bressner pointed out that staff has taken a
great deal of credence of the 55 initiatives adopted by resolution by the Commission and as Mr
Greene indicated, those two directives are prime directives. Staff has determined that this
particular project is out of sync with those priorities. Further, the Intracoastal and Federal
Highway Corridor were viewed as prime directives by this Commission.
Also, Mr Bressner stated that the proposal by the Planning and Development Board to add an
additional six acres of industrial classification was not presented to the Regional Planning
Agencies. Therefore, staff does not know if the addition of those six acres has to be remanded
back to the Planning Agencies.

Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 20, 2001
-)
Attorney Cherof felt that at some point the Planning Councils will insist upon having the
opportunity to review this; either by the applicant resubmitting it or alternatively via an appeal
Mr Norris replied that they did not ask for the additional six acres of industrial classification, but
it was a condition of the Planning and Development Board They would be agreeable to deleting
this condition as it was put in merely to address a concern of staff
Mayor Broening felt that the downtown area would be market driven as other areas in the City
are improved. Vice Mayor Weiland also was not certain if this would dilute the downtown and
he has always shown his support for Quantum in the past. However, at this present time there
is nothing that would show there is a need for this conceptual idea tonight.
Commissioner Black would like to see the first development move along and the City be shown
a sign of good faith by proceeding with the mixed-use portion of the project. Commissioner
Black did not see the need for any additional apartments in the City and that Manatee Bay is
over 50% vacant. Commissioner Black suggested that this project could come back to the
Commission at a future date.
Mr Bressner also stated that the City needs jobs and that by bringing in a mixed-use project,
some jobs have been eliminated, which staff also pointed out to the Planning & Development
Board Also, the cost for providing services for residential development is more costly than
those provided to employment-based development.
Motion

Fisher, Wce Mayor Weiland and Commissioner Black dissenting).

1 Ratification of Code Compliance Board action
a Rescind the fine in Case #96-5124 (2216 NE 3rc1 Street). The
original fine totaled $31,650 plus $922.21 in administrative costs.
o
Commissioner Rsher noted that he was questioning the finding in this case. Commissioner
Fisher felt that the administrative costs should have at least been covered. Mr Scott Blasie,
Code Compliance Administrator, responded that there was no hardship in this case, but the
party that applied for the reduction was a third party and is removed from the case because the
applicant was trying to purchase property in Delray Beach, and not the property in Boynton
Beach. Mr Blasie reported that notification was good and it was noted that the person who

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 20, 2001
The Boynton Beach lien attached to the property in Delray Beach, which necessitated the
applicant coming in to apply for a lien reduction Mayor Broening inquired if the administrative
costs were incurred by the new owner or the previous owner and Mr Blasie stated it was the
previous owner Commissioner Fisher replied that he felt the City should recover its
administrative costs and did not feel that the fine should be assessed
Mr Vince Zabik took the podium and stated that he purchased the property in Delray Beach
and when he purchased the property, he did do a title search However, it was the Boynton
Beach property that had the original lien and the lien attached to both properties. Mr Zabik
stated that when he appeared before the Code Compliance Board he was told that the lien
would be released and subsequently closed on the Delray Beach property Now, Mr Zabik said
he is back before the City and that he purchased the property because he was told that the lien
would be released
Commissioner Fisher felt that the person who purchased the Boynton Beach property should
pay the administrative costs and asked if that person was present? There was no response.
Mayor Broening asked what the actual costs to the City were and Mr Blasie responded it was
man hours and the cost for recording the documents, which was $250 00
Motion
Commissioner Ferguson moved to rescind the fine in Case #96-5124 except for $250 00, which
represents the out-of-pocket costs to record the documents. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the
motion. Motion carried 4-1 (Commissioner Rsher dissenting).
Vice Mayor Weiland requested that if Mr Blasie comes before the Commission in the future with
any lien reduction cases, he would like to have his item placed at the beginning of the meeting
because Mr Blasie waited three hours to be heard Mr Bressner said he could add these cases
under Manager's Report. .

be changed from office/industnal to mixed use and lots 23, 24, 25, 26,27,28,29,30, and 31
to be changed from office to mIXed use. Council reviewed the information prOVIded by the
applicant and determined that the proposed changes would not create any additional regional

Based on your letter of February 20,2001, the City's Plannmg and Development Board voted
to add a condItion to the Quantum Park proposed amendment that would designate lot 34C as
Industnal on the master plan. ThIS parcel presently has no land use designation and is to be

This change was not part of the ongmal NOPC and Council was not gIven the opportunity to
determme whether thIS change would create any additIonal regional impacts. Council

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 (DR!)" (NOPC) 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
mIxed 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 dwelling umts The proposed changes are presumed to create
a substantial deviation pursuant to Section 38006(19)(e)3 and 38006(19)(e)5.c, Florida
Statutes. CouncIl has revIewed the mformation and determmed that the proposed changes
will not create any additional regional impacts,
~
Council recognizes 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 interested in reVIewing the proposed site plan and discussing possible revisions that
would further the goals and polICIes of Council's Strategic Regional Policy Plan.

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

PUBLIC WORKS (Traffic) - Comment: see attached Memorandum dated January 16, 2001

Response As stated, Quantum Park is "vestedU with a certain numtler of trips The
required analysis, as such, should only revolve around whether the proposal will exceed such trips
As such, the suggested request is not warranted and should be deleted SeE! also additional
comments in the attached letter dated January 22,2001 from Kahart Pinder
UTiliTIES -
2.1 Comment: On the surface, the request to change the zoning on Lots" through 11 and

PARKS AND RECREATION
10 Comment: As a condition of issuance of a land development ordm for residential
planned unit developments, the developer shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu theref)f, or both, at the

calculated as follows.

1000 dux 015 acres = 15 acres
% credit may be given against the requirement of land dedication or payment fees % private recreation
credit will be calculated as follows
15 acres /2 =: 75 acres
The Developer may want to consider dedicatlon of the land, or a combination of dedication and fee
Response. The issue of the recreation dedication requirement has been preViously
discussed and dealt with by the City Commission with respect to the Grotto Bay site plan approval for
Quantum Park & Village, LLC Based upon the discussions and determinations Ht that time, our
response to this comment is in several parts as follows
A. At least 272 units (the number of units in the Grotto Bay project) were determined to be
exempt from this requirement by the City Commission. Therefore, at the most, the units in this
comment should be reduced to 728.
B The discussion and expression of intent by the City Commission was that Quantum Park
in general should be exempt from the recreation dedication credit. The discussion by the Commission
was that Quantum Park had provided more in the form of recreation and other benefits to the City to
satisfy any potential recreation dedication requirement and therefore, no further requirement should
be requested with respect thereto
C Even if the recreation dedication applies, Quantum Park should be entitled to the credit
for the natural resource preservation as provided for in the Code, which credit, based upon the natural
resources provided in Quantum Park would totally exceed any requirement as discussed in this
comment, as such credit would be calculated as one quarter of the acres qualifying in Quantum Park
in general
11 Comment: If the property is not required to be platted, the recreation dedication fee will
be due prior to the building permit being issued
Response We would make the same arguments as set forth in #10 above In addition,
the Code clearly provides that any recreation dedication fee is to be paid at the time of platting and
does not provide for any other time frame Based upon that clear provision, ifthe requirement remains
at all, it should only be required to be paid at the time any plat is recorded
12. Comment: Provide to the Parks Division at the close of the construction contract as-built
plans showing locations of irrigation lines in the rights-of-ways and
medians
Response We cannot find any basis in the Code or otherwise to justify any such
requirement.

20 Comment: This NOPClMaster Plan submittal did not include a preliminary site plan or
justification for the requested change Provide a wntten justification for the proposed change
Justification and data shall support elimination of the land available for industrial uses based on Clty-
Widened needs and supply (update Land Use Distribution and needs and supply data within
Comprehensive Plan), Document fiscal impact of the increase in residential land uses, and be based
on Market data that favors the proposed uses over the currently designah3d land uses
Response We cannot find any basis In the Code or the Florida Statutes for such a
requirement. Absent such a requirement being contained in the Code or in the Florida Statutes, the
requirement is inappropriate In addition, see responses in Exhibit A and in letter from Winston Lee
21 Comment: Indicate the target market for the residential units
Response. See response in Exhibit A attached hereto
22 Comment: In accordance with Chapter 2, Section 7, a Master Site Plan will be required
for this mixed use pod A mixed use pod, when complete, will have all following uses
a) Multi-family reSidential
b) Commercial/retail
c) Office/professional
Response. See response in letter from Winston Lee dated January 2~~, 2001
23 Comment: Staff recommends that the NOPC/Master Plan approval include a condition
which requires a minimum of 20 acres of land designated as mixed use be developed with the full mix
of commercial/retail/and office before the additional 500 units of residential may be constructed.
Response We would make the same responses set forth in paragraph #20 above In
addition, I find no basis for any municipality being able to dictate the timing of the particular
development of a project. Such a requirement would be unprecedented and without justification. As
it has been clearly stated to City staff and the City Commission, the development of this project and
Quantum Park in general is and will continue to be dictated by the market. To reqUire anything else
would essentially jeopardize the continued and successful development of Quantum Park. I do not
believe the City Commission has expressed any desire to get involved in such management or
ownership decision making
24 Comment: Approval of the Master Plan is contingent upon the applicant filing for and
receiving approval for a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to permit residential use in the
Industrial land use category
Response. Again, this matter has been previously discussed and dealt with by the City
Commission as set forth in Ordinance 00-002. If you recall, City staff raised this issue at that time,
which was totally and absolutely rejected by the City Commission, the decision being that if staff felt

Commercial, Industnal, Office, or a combmatIOn of Office and Industnal, and/or
Office, IndustrIal and CommercIal, both the water and wastewater systems
support these type of antICIpated uses were desIgned and constructed for those

24 Comment: A proVISIOn needs to be mcorporated mto each lot(s) approval
process that the deSIgn engmeenng 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

Response. This comment is unnecessary, we object to its' inclusion in the staff
comments and request it he deleted The development is already conditioned to
upgrade the ltft station pumps and controls as development requires. The
determination of the adequacy of the public infrastructure is a function of the
design development and permitting of a specific project on any lot within
Quantum Park, not just the lots that are the subject of this amendment, This
application is for a land use change for particular lots within the development

Response: Reference the Pinder Troutman letter dated January 22, 2001
19 Comment: Under the condItion of Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park
Development Order and Chapter 3, ArtIcle IV of the Land Development
RegulatIOns, a traffic analYSIS IS reqUITed and was submItted for thIS Master Plan
Approval. ThIS traffic analYSIS will be revIewed by the Palm Beach County
Traffic DIVISIon. In heu of an mdependent traffic consultant, the City'S PublIc
Works Department staff will reVIew the traffic study The cost of the reVIew fee
IS based on hourly salanes plus 35% for fnnge benefits,
Response: The requirement for the traffic analysis and the independent review for
the project were satisfied by the city commission approval of Amendment Number
10 The comments and recommendations presented by the Public Works
Director simply do not apply
The trajjic generated by this project is within the threshold established as part of
the original and subsequent approvals., The thresholds have been established
according to the submittal of acceptable traffic analysis based upon acceptable
standards and reviews by various agencies. The traffic generated by the
development intensities proposed as presented are within the thresholds of
subsequent approvals, either as approved originally, approved by amendment 10
(the addition of 500 residential units) or as demonstrated by the traffic analysis
submitted in evidence with the proposed amendment.
The public works department comments and recommendations relative to trajjic
issues are not the responsibility of the applicant at this time. The analysis
recommendations were the responsibility of the previous developer and as statedIabove were addressed and the development was approved. The development is
now vested jar the development intensities subsequently approved. The continued
monitoring of existing traffic and the LOS categorization and remedy of
d~ficiencies beyond the existing conditions of the development order are not the
applicants'responsibility
.~
The eight recommendations are addressed as follows
1 Palm Beach County currently is performing this duty
2 Palm Beach County currently is performing this duty
3 This recommendation is not the applicants responsibility
4 The traffic analysis as submitted is exactly the traffic generation anticipated
at the build out of Quantum Park, The focus of the analysis is to compare the
proposed development intensities with the previously approved development
intensities. The analysis demonstrates the proposed intensities do not exceed
the previously approved intensities.
5. This recommendation is not lheappJ icants ' responsibility.
6. This recommendation is beyond the scope of the applicants' approvals and
responsibilities,
7 We believe' this is clearly shown in the analysis submitted with the application
of the proposed change.
8. As the submitted analysis demonstrates the traffic generated by the proposed
intensities does not it exceed the previous approvals the determination of
onsite or offsite improvements is not the responsibility of the applicant.
21 Comment: IndIcate the target market for the reSIdentIal umts.
Re$pOose: The target market is indeterminate at this.
If you should have any further questIOns, please feel free to contact me at any tIme.

De8J' Mr Norris:
Outlined below are my responses to the Boynton Beach TRe Comments.
3 The request IS for modification of use designation only on prevIOusly platted lots. No other
changes are being requested. Therefore. descriptions of existing platted easements is not
applicable.
4. It is unknovm at this point bow the lots, in any combmf1.tion, are going to be planned and
approved. Therefore, this comment is not apphcable and is premature in requiring lots be
combined.
5 At such time as pemuts are hein requested, all working draWIngs for proposed construction
will be signed and sealed, /
6 It is unh"tlown at this point if any ley, right of way, or easement will require abandonment.
However~ applicant acknowledges erification of easement abandonments pnor to pennit
review if applicable.
7 ThIs comment appears premature as this request is for use modIfication ofparceb Wltbm the
master plan. However~ applicant acknowledges neW for review of addr(l3sing plan at time
of penn it review for any project within Quantum.
8 No construction is proposed. in this request, therefore, the comment 15 non-applicable.
9 No waiver of plat is proposed in this request~ therefore, the comment is non-applicable.

17 The proposal for the use designatIon of "mixed use" on the existing lots mcorporates multI-
family usage. and commercial usage with the existing office usage These proposed uses are
consistent with the local comprehensive plan as described in Policy I 16.1> '1ndustnal" and
"Local Retail Commercial"
20 Preliminary site plans are not required at this stage. The proposed use designation change
to <"mixed use" is for lots 23 through 39, which currently are use designated "office" and for
lots 7 through II, whIch are currently use designated as "office or industrial" Therefore,
the use designation request for lots 23 through 39 does not affect any industrial use. The use
designati.on for lots 7 through 11 does not require any industrial usage. It is the owner's
prerogative to select uses on the lots. Therefore. since industrial usage was not a required
use, nor the sole use allowed for lots 7 through 11, these is no need to }l{ovi~ an upda.t<<l
land use distribution or needs and supply data from within the comprehensive plan.
22. Applicant acknowledges that a master site plan will be required and must adhere to the land
development regulations as prescribed m Section 1, Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned Industrial
Developments.
24 This identical comment was made by staff during the last notice of proposed change for
Quantum Park 8Ild was rejected by both the Planning & Development Board and the City
Commission. as well as the applicant. The City of Boynton Beach's Comprehensive Plan
currently does pennit residential usage in the industrial land use category as prescribed in

Re: Quantum Park NOPC # 11 - #PTCOO-204
Dear Mr Rumpf-
The following responds to the City Comments for the above referenced project,
Comment 1
This comment requests detailed level of service analysis and traffic data for existing and future
condition
Response
The purpose of the NOPC traffic analysis is to determine if the proposed change results in a
substantial deviation Florida Statutes (F S ) Chapter 380 06 Section (19)(b) 15 states that "A 15%
increase in the number of external vehicle trips generated by the development above that which was
projected during the original development-of-regional-impact review" constitutes a substantial
deviation The data and analysis demonstrates that the proposed plan represents a decrease in Daily,
AM peak hour and PM peak hour trip generation from the original development-of regional-impact
review Therefore, the proposed change is not a substantial deviation and, intersection and roadway
link analyses for existing and future conditions are not required
Comment 18.a
Office square footage is inconsistent between the Traffic Analysis and the Master Plan
Response
The square footage shown on the Master Plan is the maximum that cannot be exceeded The traffic
analysis presents the proposed development plan
Comment 18.b
Total square footage is inconsistent between the traffic analysis and the Master Plan
Response
The square footages shown on the Master Plan are the maximums that cannot be exceeded The
traffic analysis presents the proposed development plan In addition, the theater is shown as seats in
the traffic analysis and not included in the total square footage on the Master Plan

Comment 18.c
AM and PM peak hour trip generation rates are different between previous and current traffic
analyses,
Response
The AM and PM peak hour trip generation rates have been changed to be consistent with those
presented for NOPC #10 in tables dated 2/28/00 The revised tables dated 1/22101 are attached
The result is a greater differential between the peak hour of the approved and proposed uses than
shown on tables dated 12/18/00 for NOPC #11
In order to help in the review process we have included the Daily as well as AM peak hour and PM
peak hour comparative trip generation tables.
