RE, Quantum Park - Amendment/NOpe #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:Jwl 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 rrllxed use The mixed use area is immediately adjacent to a footbridge across the lake to
existing employment opportunrties The pedestrian and bicycle systems within the park will connect
thIS mixed use area to other developments throughout Qu~ntum Park, as well as Ct:mnections to a
regional TriRail facility encouraging alternate methods of transportation

with regard thereto Our responses to such comments are as follows.
PUBLIC WORKS (General) - Comment: None
PUBLIC WORKS (Traffic) - Comment: see attached Memorandum dated. January 16, 2001
(Exhibit "A")
Response As stated, Quantum Park is "vested" 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

2.2 Comment: However, with the original DRI for the total park designed for Commercial,
Industrial, Office, or a combination of Office and Industrial, and/or Office, Industrial and Commercial,

10 Comment: As a condition of issuance of a land development ordur for residential
planned unit developments, the developer shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu thereof. 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 dedication 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 at 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 th~lt 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, if the 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.

The application as presented is presumed to be a substantial deviation by the City This
presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence. The applicant must p,'ovide additional
information before a determination of no substantial deviation is made The additional information
includes
a) Provide a revised traffic analysis based on items discussed In comments #1 and #18

18 Comment: The traffic analysis for NOPC #1 dated 12/18/00 is flawed The following
inconsistencies were found
a) Office square footage shown in the traffic analysis 725,850 is not comiistent with what
is shown as a note on the Master Plan, 888,850 Please clarify
b) The total square footage in the traffic analysis equals 3,323,718 square feet. The total
generated from the amounts shown In the notes is 3,514,618 Please clarify
c) A different A.M and P.M. Peak Trip Generation Rate is being used for the Office and
convenience store category than was used for Amendment #10 Refer to Pinder Troutman letters
dated 2/17/00, 2/28/00 and 12/18/00 Please clarify
Response. See response in attached letter dated January 22, 2001 from Kahart Pinder
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 am;dysis is required
and was submitted for this Master Plan Approval. This traffic analysis will be reviewed by the Palm
Beach County Traffic Division. In lieu of an Independent traffic consultant, the City's Public Works
Department staff will review the traffic study The cost of the review fee is based on hourly sa lanes

20 Comment: This NOPClMaster Plan submittal did not include a preliminary site plan or
justification for the requested change Provide a written justification for the proposed change
Justification and data shall support elimination of the land available for industrial uses based on city-
widened needs and supply (update Land Use Distribution and needs and sUlJply data withm
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 designated 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 NOpe/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
Industnalland 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

Dear Mr Norris:
Outlined below are my responses to the Boynton Beach TRC Comments.
3
The request IS for modification ofuse desIgnation only on prevIously platted lots. No other
changes are being requested. Therefore. descriptIons of existing platted easements is not
applicable.
4.
It is unknown at this point how 'the lots, in any combination, are going to be planned and
approved Therefore, this comment is not applIca.ble and is premature in requiring lots be
combined. r
At such time as pemuts are beint requested, all working draWings for proposed construction

17 The proposal for the use designatIon of "mixed use" on the existing lots incorporates mulb-
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. t> "Industnal" 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, wluch are currently use designated as ....office or industrial" Therefore.
the use design.a:tion request for lots 23 through 39 does not affect any industrial use. The use
designati~n 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 requited
use. nor the sole use allowed for Jots 7 through 11, these is no need 10 jXovi~ an updated
land use distribution or need5 and supply dam 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 In 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 8lld 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
Policy 1 16 1 "Industria1~ and "Local Retail Commercial"

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 38006 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 1/22/01 are attached
The result is a greater differential between the peak hour of the approved and proposed uses than
shown on tables dated 12118/00 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.

1 Comment: See attached memorandum dated January 16,2001 (ExhibIt A).
UTILITIES
2.1 Comment: On the surface, theIr request to change the zomng on Lots 7 through
11, and Lots 23 through 31 (a total of 14 lots) from Office & Industnal to Mixed
Use, seems sImple enough.
Response: Comment Noted - Comment should be deleted
2.2 Comment: However, with the ongmal DR! for the total park desIgned for
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
antiCIpated uses. Four (4) lIfe statIons were configured to handle the wastewater
generatIon antiCIpated on the 550 acre park.

23 Comment: Recently, the CIty allowed the converSIOn of three (3) lots (#59
through 61) from Office & Industnal to Mixed Use, whIch mcluded some 272
apartment umts, some 228 apartment umts awaIt mcorporatIon mto Lots 62
through 67 Now, With the antiCIpated addItion of approxImately 500 apartment
umts on the 14 lots noted above, the existmg utilIty support faCIlIties could be
taxed to theIr lImIts.
Response: Comment Noted - Comment should be deleted.
2 4 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
could result m msufficIent utilIty support to thIS park, affectmg other current
(exIstmg) users.
Response. This comment is unnecessary, we object to its' inclusion in the staff
comments and request it be deleted The development is already conditioned to
upgrade the lift 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

15 Comment: Tnangle notes 1 - 3 have been removed from the Master Plan. Note
1 corresponds to Lot 91, 47A and 47B Note 2 corresponds to Lot 65B and Note
3 corresponds to Lot 17 ProvIde wntten explanatIOn for thIs reVISIOn.
Response: The triangles noting the location on the drawing of the revisions to the
Amended Master Plan approved as Amendment No. 10 have been removed The
drawing prepared as the Amended Master Plan for Amendment Number 11 has
incorporated the revisions and has been assigned a new drawing reference.
Revisions to this new drawing will be noted with triangles as the submitted plan is
revised throughout the approval process for amendment number 11
16 Comment: Master Plan shows a new note whIch provIdes for the ResIdential
dwellmg urnt converSIOn to IndustrIal use. The second such note refers to a
converSIOn of one ResIdential umt to 725 square feet of Industnal. The NOPC
mdIcates thIS as Office use not Industnal. ProvIde JustificatIOn for these
conversIon formulas WhICh were not Included m the last NOPC
Response: The Master Plan has been revised to correct the equivalency formulas
relative to the residential generation. Refer to the supplemental traffic statements
and calculations provide by Pinder Troutman, inc., dated January 22; 2001
17 Comment: Approval of the Master Plan IS contmgent upon a findmg of no
substantial deViatIon by the City This IS based on the followmg sectIons of the
Flonda Statues
a) Chapter 380 06 (19(b) 9 An mcrease m the number of dwellmg umts by five
(5) percent or 50 urnts~ wlu.chever IS greater

development of regIOnal Impact WhIch was ongmally approved With more
than three uses specIfied m 3800651 (3)(c), (d), (f) and (g) and resIdential
use
Response: Comment Noted
17 1 Comment: The apphcatIOn as presented IS presumed to be a substantial deVIatIon
by the CIty ThIS presumptIon may be rebutted by clear and convmcmg eVIdence.
The apphcant must provide additIOnal mformatIOn before a determmatIon of no
substantIal deVIation IS made. The addItIonal mformatIon mcludes.
a) Provide a reVIsed traffic analysIs based on Items dISCUSsed In comments #1
and # 18
b) Demonstrate how the proposed project IS consIstent With the local
comprehensIve plan.
c) ProvIde an updated projectIOn of water and sewer demands.
Response: Reference the Pinder Troutman letter, dated January 22, 2001 and
Winston Lees & Associates letter dated January 22, 2001 Updated water and
wastewater demands will be provided upon submittal of a residential site plan for
the area subject to the proposed change in DRlland use. This area may still be
developed as office or industrial uses consistent with the current master plan.
18 Comment: The traffic analysIs for NOPC #1 dated 12/18/00 IS flawed. The
folloWing .1llconsIstencteS were found.
a) Office square footage shown m the traffic analysIs 725,850 IS not consIstent
WIth what is shown as a note on the Master Plan, 888,850 Please clarIfy
b} The total square footage In the traffic analysts equals 3,323,718 square feet.
The total generated from the amounts shown m the notes IS 3,514,618 Please
clanfy
c) A dIfferent A.M. and P.M. Peak Tnp GeneratIon Rate IS "bemg used for the
Office and convemence store category than was used for Amendment #10
Refer to Pmder Troutman letters dated 2/17/00, 2/28/00 and 12/18/00 Please
clanfy
Response Reference the Pinder Troutman letter dated January 22,2001
19 Comment: Under the condItion of Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park
Development Or.der and Chapter 3, ArtIcle N of the Land Development
Regulations, a traffic analysIs IS reqUired and was submItted for thIS Master Plan
Approval. ThIS traffic analYSIS will be revIewed by the Palm Beach County
Traffic DIVISion. In beu 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 traffic 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 tr~ffic 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 traffic
issues are not the responsibility of the applicant at this time. The .analysis
recommendations were the responsibility of the previous developer and as stated
above 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 the applican1S' responsibility.
6 This recommendation is beyond the scope q( the applicants' approvals and
respons ib il ities.
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.
Response: The target market is indeterminate at this.

QUANTUM PARK NOPC #11
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The proposal under this Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) for Quantum Corporate Park DRI is to
amend the Master Plan to change the land used designations on various parcels. These specific
changes have been described in detail in Section 5 of the NOPC Application The purpose of this
traffic analysis is to provide data and analyses of the traffic impacts associated with the proposed
change such that a determination of substantial deviation can be made
The most recent modification to the DRI was the approval of the Master Site Development Plan on
March 7, 2000 Prior to that date, the Master Site Development Plan was approved on May 20,
1997 that established thresholds of development (maximum square feet for each land use) that could
not be exceeded, as well as a maximum daily trip threshold that could not be exceeded As noted
on the Master Site Development Plan approved on May 20, 1997 and March 7, 2000, the project is
vested for 63,752 daily trips. This then becomes the benchmark from which to compare the trip
generation of the proposed land uses.
Attachment 1 A provides a daily trip generation analysis of the proposed Quantum Park development
program It should be noted that the land used categories shown on this exhibit are more refined
than the broad categories shown on the approved Master Site Development Plan Land uses shown
on Attachment 1A reflect the developer's knowledge of specific uses that will be or are currently
constructed within Quantum Park. The proposed land uses at Quantum Park are estimated to
generate 63,751 daily trips, the maximum for which the project is vested Attachments 1 Band 1C
provide a trip generation comparison of the AM peak hour and PM peak hour respectively
The proposed land use plan is projected to generate fewer trips than are currently vested for the site
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not represent a substantial deviation
