Request
Request for two (2) vanances from the CIty of Boynton Beach Land Development
RegulatIOns, Chapter 2-Zonmg, SectIOn 7-Planned Industnal Development (Pill), H.3, to
reduce the mmImum separatIOn between dnveways
1) from 150 feet as reqUIred by code to 107 feet to allow a forty three (43) foot
reductIon, and
2) from 150 feet as reqUIred by code to 145 feet to allow a five (5) foot reductIOn.
BACKGROUND
Winston Lee, ASLA, AICP, of Winston Lee & AssocIates, agent for Packagmg Concepts IS requestmg to
reduce the mmImum reqUIred dIstance between dnveways from 150 feet to 107 feet, and from 150 feet to
145 feet, both on Beta Dnve, along the east sIde of the 3 65-acre Packagmg Concepts property, on lots 47-
B, 47-C, and 47-D, Quantum Industnal Park, Pill Packagmg Concepts was ongmally approved m
September of 1995 as a 25,838 square-foot office/warehouse bUIldmg. The developer proposes to
construct a one-story 28,000 square-foot office/warehouse addItIon to the eXIstmg faCIlIty for a total
bUIldmg area of 53,838 square feet (see ExhibIt "A" -locatIOn map)
Currently, the SIte contams access VIa one (1) eXIstmg dnveway connectIOn to Park RIdge Boulevard to
the north, and one (1) connectIOn to Beta Dnve to the east, both consIstent WIth the Quantum Park Master
Plan. The proposed SIte plan for the bUIldmg addItIon shows two (2) addItIonal connectIOns to Beta Dnve
onto the cul-de-sac, both twenty-seven (27) foot wIde (see ExhibIt "B" - SIte plan) The Pill zomng
dIstnct lImIts a project to a maXImum of two (2) dnveways per developable parcel. The two (2) proposed
dnveways are consIstent WIth thIS regulatIOn, however, due to SIte lImItatIOns caused mamly to the
presence of the adjacent cul-de-sac, the proposed locatIOn will place them closer than the mmImum
reqUIred separatIOn dIstance of 150 feet. The SIte IS proposed to be modIfied WIth the common goal of
separatmg vehicular traffic from truck traffic, and separatmg vIsitor traffic from operatIOnal traffic
However, thIS SItuatIon, typIcal of mdustnal projects, will tend to generate the need for the maXImum the
number of dnveways and wIder then normal dnveways. In part due to the fact that the southern end of
the project IS accessed by a cul-de-sac, the vanance has been warranted.
The followmg IS a descnptIon of the zonmg dIstncts and land uses of the propertIes that surround

a. That specIal condItIOns and CIrcumstances eXIst whIch are peculIar to the land, structure, or

d. That lIteral mterpretatIon of the provIsIOns of thIS ordmance would depnve the applIcant of nghts

and would work unnecessary and undue hardshIp on the applIcant.
e That the vanance granted IS the mmImum vanance that WIll make possible the reasonable use of

detnmental to the publIc welfare.
ANALYSIS
In revIewmg vanance requests for mmImum dnveway separatIOn, staff revIewed several cntena to
determme JustIficatIon for allowmg a vanance at thIS SIte ThIS analysIs focused on the tradItIOnal cntena
for hardshIp, specifically on Items "e" and "f' above whIch reqUIre that the request WIll make possible the
reasonable use of the land and the structure, and at the same tIme grantmg the vanance WIll be m harmony
with the mtent of the code and not detnmental nor mJunous to the area and publIc welfare. Also, thIS
analysIs focused on the followmg Issues
Page 3
Packagmg Concepts
FIle No ZNCV 01-002
1) Lot configuratIOn relatIve to the adjacent road and cul-de-sac,
2) Traffic flow and safety
With respect to lot dImensIOns and configuratIOn, the subject parcel contams approxImately 200 feet of
frontage along Beta Dnve, whIch IS suffiCIent to enable the locatIOn of one dnveway Accordmg to the
applIcant's response to the above cntena contamed m ExhibIt "C", the need for a second dnveway on the
same road at such a short dIstance IS JustIfied by the need to prOVIde vISItors, employees and others WIth
safe access to the parkmg area separate from truck traffic The applIcant feels that by denymg thIS request
the maneuverabIlIty of publIc fire and samtatIOn vehIcles, and the commerCIal trucks as well, wIll
generate an unnecessary and undue hardshIp, therefore, jeOpardIzmg both safety and traffic flow It
should be noted that the SIte plan depIcts the dumpster locatIOn at the southeast corner of the SIte.
It IS the opmIOn of staff that by denymg thIS request the applIcant would be forced to redeSIgn the project
m order to meet the separatIOn reqUIrements, WhICh would likely reqUIre some traffic to be combmed,
and/or the reductIOn of the project SIze m order to mternahze traffic flow
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysIs, staff finds that thIS vanance request IS JustIfied for the followmg reasons
a. SpecIal condItIOns and CIrcumstances eXIst whIch are peculIar to the subject property (the eXIstence of
the cul-de-sac whIch reduces property frontage),
b The vanance represents the mImmum vanance needed to utIhze the SIte m the most reasonable way
(based on the current proposed SIte layout and bUIldmg sIze/configuratIOn), and
c That grantmg the vanance would be m harmony WIth the general mtent of the regulatIOn to promote
safe and logIcal traffic CIrculatIOn wIthm the Planned Industnal Park (onsIte traffic flow WIll be
optImal, and bemg located at the end of a cul-de-sac, traffic hazards WIll not be generated gIven traffic
speeds and volume m thIS area)
Therefore, staff recommends that thIS request by Packagmg Concepts for a vanance from the CIty of
Boynton Beach Land Development RegulatIOns, Chapter 2 - Zonmg, SectIOn 7 - Planned Umt
Development, H.3, to reduce the mmImum dnveway separatIOn dIstance m a Pill, Planned Industnal
DIstnct, from 150 feet to 107 feet, and from 150 feet to 145 feet, be granted. No condItIons of approval
are recommended, however, any condItIons of approval added by the Plannmg and Development board or
the CIty CommISSIOn WIll be placed m ExhibIt "D"

VARIANCE REQUEST
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.
Response The proposed access driveway is located between an existing facility
driveway and the reduced frontage of a cul-de-sac on the newly purchased lot. An
existing easement for overhead powerlines further encumbers the area where one
of the proposed driveways could be shIfted to maximize the driveway spacing The
phYSical amount of ROW frontage available IS not mathematically sufficIent to
accommodate the PIO spacing requirement.
B That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant
Response The conditions exist due to the lot configuration at the cul-de-sac and
the phYSical conditIon afthe existing facility The cul-de-sac lot was purchased after
the eXisting faCility was constructed
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
Response The conditions of thiS request are unique to thiS eXisting facilIty and the
configuration of the lot being added
o That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter 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,
Response The variance request is the minimum necessary to allow reasonable use
of the site and allow for a through traffic visitor parking area.
F That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of this chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area
involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare
Response The granting of the variance allows for a harmonious site by providing
through traffic to the visitors parking area and allowing for separation of various
traffic types (loading, visitors, employees) Furthermore, this request for driveway
separation is at the end of a cul-de-sac off the end of Park Ridge Blvd which dead
ends at the end of Quantum Park.

V AlliANCE REQUEST
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.
Response The proposed access driveway is located between an existing facility
driveway and the reduced frontage of a cul-de-sac on the newly purchased lot. An
existing easement for overhead powerlines further encumbers the area where one
of the proposed driveways could be shifted to maximize the driveway spacing The
physical amount of ROW frontage available IS not mathematically sufficient to
accommodate the PIO spacing requirement.
B That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant,
Response The conditions exist due to the lot configuration at the cul-de-sac and
the physical condition of the existing facility The cul-de-sac lot was purchased after
the existing facility was constructed
C That granting the variance requested wiil 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,
Response The conditIons of thIS request are unique to this eXisting facility and the
configuration of the lot being added
o That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning
district under the terms of the Ordinance and 'Nould work unnecessary and undue
hardship on the applicant;
Response The literal interpretation would result in unnecessarily creating a short,
dead-end parking lot whose sole access could be restricted by truck traffic
Packaging Concepts Variance Request
January 9, 2001
Page 2
E. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building or structure,
Response The variance request is the minimum necessary to allow reasonable use
of the site and allow for a through traffic visitor parking area.
F That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of this chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area
involved or otherwise detnmental to the public welfare
Response The granting of the variance allows for a harmonious site by providing
through traffic to the visitors parking area and allowing for separation of various
traffic types (loading, visitors, employees) Furthermore, this request for driveway
separation is at the end of a cul-de-sac off the end of Park Ridge Blvd which dead
ends at the end of Quantum Park.
