Southeast corner of Woolbright Road and Corporate Drive (Southwest corner of 1-95 and Woolbright Road) Owner" Woolbright Partners/Nayrot Realty, Inc Project: Lowe's Home Improvement Center Request: Request for relief from the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 Article II H 7 - Number of Driveways, for an additional accessway beyond the two accessways allowed by code BACKGROUND The property which is the subject of this variance request is also the subject of an application for conditional use approval to allow for the construction of a Lowe's Home Improvement Store at the intersection of Woolbright Road and Corporate Drive The proposed project is to be constructed on Parcels 1 and 3A of the Boynton Commerce Center plat. Since Lot 3A is currently part of the Boynton Commerce Center PID a master plan modification has also been requested to eliminate the northernmost building from the master plan and show shared access between the industrial park and the planned Lowe's project. If the shared driveway is included with the proposed project, the proposed plan shows three (3) access driveways to the proposed facility from Corporate Drive, or one more than allowed by the Land Development Regulations (see Exhibit A - Location Map, Exhibit 'B" - Site Plan) This proposed shared access drive is to be placed in the access easement established in the PID between the front entrances of buildings "B" and "C" Building "C" is to be omitted under the current proposed Lowe's project, and two access drives are proposed to link with this shared driveway The shared access drive was originally intended for the main truck route for Lowe's, however, this design would be inconsistent with the circulation plan for the Boynton Commerce Center PID, which separates truck traffic from all other traffic Therefore, staff has placed a condition of approval on the project that requires project truck traffic to use a truck route similar to that used by the adjacent PID It should also be noted that the applications described herein do not represent an increase in total driveways ultimately allowed/planned along Corporate Drive The proposed zoning designation of the subject parcels is C-3, Community CommercIal. The following is a description of the land uses of the properties that surround the subject request. North - Woolbright Road, and farther north the Shoppes of Woolbright PCD, South - Boynton Commerce Center PID, East SAL Railroad R.O W , and farther east, 1-95 R.O Wand West Corporate Drive, and farther west an office building zoned C-l ANALYSIS The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 Article II H 7 - Number of f3\ Page 2 Memorandum No 99-276 Driveways requires that. No more than two' (2) driveways shall be permitted from any property Where properties abut more than one (1) public or private right-of-way, additional driveways may be permitted depending upon traffic volumes but in no instance shall the number of driveways exceed two (2) on each street" The applicant has justIfied this application based on total projected traffic volumes, lack of direct access from Woolbright Road, and the fact that one of the driveways is currently approved under the existing, adjacent PID and therefore does not represent an additional access point onto Corporate Drive The proposed Lowe s project is projected to have traffic volumes in excess of 6,000 total trips per day If distributed equally a total of 2000 trips could traverse each of the three driveways (excluding truck traffic) proposed for the project, which qualifies each of the driveways to be "major" driveways according to the city's regulations (a driveway generating more than 1 000 trips per 24 hour period) For comparison, Home Depot also has three driveways, and one of which is shared with the adjacent EXPO Design Center The code states that zoning code variances cannot be approved unless the board finds the following a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. b That the specIal conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. c That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. d That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure f That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrunental to the public welfare CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS Staff has not reviewed this request against the traditional criteria indicated above, as the application is justified more by design than hardship Instead, staff has reviewed the characteristics of this project relative to design, use and site, and concludes that the request is justified by the following facts 1) The proposed commercial use is a major generator of traffic and requires optimal traffic distribution, 2) The third driveway is currently approved as part of the Boynton Commerce Center PID, 3) Insufficient land exists to provide two separate driveways where the two adjacent projects meet, and two separate driveways would not represent an efficient use of land, and 4) The lack of any access drives directly on Woolbright Road increases the need for more than the typical or maximum number allowed along Corporate Drive Therefore, staff recommends that the subject request for a variance to allow an additional driveway along a single right-of-way be approved, subject to the conditions of approval included in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval Attachments MR \\CH\MAIN\SHRDATA\Planning\SHARED\WP\PROJECTS\LOWE'S HOME CENTER\PKLV\STAFF REP doc fXjL Page 3 Memorandum No 99-276 CondItIons DelIvery truck traffic shall be prohibIted from using the southern driveway provide note and signage mdIcating same Provide evidence of shared access that provides for both vehIcular traffic along the southernmost driveway and truck traffic along a route leading through buildings "A" and "B" of the Boynton Commerce Center PID Fj3 t:.F" ..- ....... ... ~e.C -------: ":: ~ -------------------- EXHIBIT "8" ;"., /~ ",~j ""'~ Ii! ~o?' ~:IN \" ~.. ,\ \\'" -- 'l.~ ' . ......-1,,!
