REVIEW COMMENTS 7.e.1 QUANTUMPARKPID USE APPROVAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO PZ 01-180 FROM: Chairman and Members Planning and Development Board (~1J2- Michael Rumpf Director of Planning and Zoning TO DATE. SUBJECT September 7 2001 Quantum Park PID - Outdoor Storage (File No USAP 01-002) Outdoor Storage at approved projects on Lots 32-38, 68A-70, 72, and 73A-76 Quantum Business Center and Premier Asset rvanagement, Inc. NATURE OF REQUEST Mr Robert J Motchkavitz, P E , of Premier Asset Management, Inc. is requesting use approval for outdoor storage for the above-referenced projects within the Quantum Park Planned Industrial Development (see attached location map - Exhibit "A") The outdoor storage areas are to be placed on the concrete truck service court aprons located against the rear of the industrial buildings The specific areas are not pre- determined, but rather would be created as requested by individual tenants and placed adjacent to their respective tenant spaces The total area of all storage spaces created are proposed to be monitored by the owner to ensure compliance with the 15% area cap described below This request is intended to meet the special needs of future tenants Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 7(E) ofthe Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations requires that all new uses proposed within a Planned Industrial Development (PID) district be approved by the Planning and Development Board (and City Commission) Furthermore, according to Chapter 2. Zoning, Section 7 E (1), outdoor storage is permitted, if approved by the Planning and Development Board subject to a maximum limit of fifteen (15) percent of the total square footage of the building, and adequate screening to preclude exposure to the public. Of course, restrictions such as environmental review approval applicable to certain materials/substances stored within buildings would apply similarly to those items stored wthin the proposed outdoor areas In compliance with this section of the Land Development Regulations, the applicant is requesting that the outdoor storage of material be approved for the above-referenced lots/projects, with the commitment to incrementally monitor maximum area allocated for storage (including reporting same to city staff), and to fence and screen each storage area BACKGROUND Unlike other conventional zoning districts, the zoning code does not set forth specific uses permitted in a PID Pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7 E , in a PID, a building and its customary ancillary structures and land uses may be erected altered and occupied for any office, professional, business (wholesale and retail), educational institution, adult entertainment (consistent with Section 11 M. of the zoning code) or industrial uses provided that such use or uses is/are approved by the Planning and Development Board To approve such a use, the Planning and Development Board must make findings that the proposed use will not be in conflict with the performance standards listed in Section 4 N of the zoning regulations, and that the use proposed is consistent with the intent and purposes of the Planned Industrial Development District. In April 2000, the City of Boynton Beach approved a new site plan for Lots 32-38 with a total area of 336,050 square-feet. The project included a total of 63,849 square-feet approved for office use and 272,200 square feet approved for warehouse space No outdoor storage was included as part of the site plan (see Exhibit "B" - excerpt of site plan) The applicant is proposing spacing the outdoor storage areas along the truck service court aprons between the truck loading bays, thereby preventing any interference with traffic/truck circulation, solid waste removal or parking spaces The applicant is proposing to screen/enclose the individual areas with an eight-foot (8') high slatted, chain link fence (see Exhibit "C" - typical outdoor storage area) Page 2 Memorandum No PZ 01-180 ANAL YSIS The purpose of the City's performance standards is to ensure that uses will not be a nuisance or hazard to persons, animals, vegetation or property located on adjacent or nearby properties or right-of-way; or to interfere with the reasonable use or enjoyment of adjacent or nearby property by reason of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter; toxic or noxious matter; odor, glare, heat or humidity; radiation, electromagnetic interference, fire or explosive hazard, liquid waste discharge, or solid waste accumulation The applicant has been asked to provide a description of their request relative to the performance standards within Chapter 2, Section 4 N of the Land Development Regulations to evaluate the impact and appropriateness of this use within the PIO district. These responses are listed as follows 1) Noise No sound will be created which in violation of Section 15-8 of the City Of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances 2) Vibrations No ground vibrations will be generated by the proposed use 3) Smoke, dust, dirt, or other particular matter' The proposed use will not allow the emission of any substances in violation of any federal, state, county or city laws or permits governing the emission of such substances 4) Odors and fumes No objectionable or offensive odors will be readily perceptible at any point beyond the industrial district. 5) Toxic or noxious matter' The proposed use will not allow any toxic or noxious matter to be discharged in such concentrations as to cause damage to property or vegetation, discomfort or harm to persons or animals, or prevent the reasonable use and enjoyment of property or rights-of-way at or beyond the property line or to contaminate any public waters or any groundwater 6) Fire and Explosion The proposed use will not create a fire or explosion hazard 7) Heat, Humidity or Glare The proposed use will not produce heat, humidity or glare, which is readily perceptible past the property boundary The lighting will conform to the City of Boynton Beach's standards 8) Liquid Waste Any disposition of liquid waste will be in conformance with the provisions of Chapter 26 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances or any applicable federal, state or county laws or permits 9) Solid Waste Any accumulation or disposal of solid waste will be in conformance with Chapter 10 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances and will not be transferred to adjacent or nearby property or rights-of-way 10) Electromagnetic Interference No electromagnetic radiation or intererence will be created 11) Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste. No hazardous materials or hazardous waste will be created, stored or handled wth the proposed use It is the opinion of staff that storage use, in general is consistent with the intent and purpose of the PIO zoning district, lias this use reflects changes in land development trends, and furthers the attempt to provide a desirable environment for industrial developments, while complying with the City's code requirements" However, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7 E(1), it is to be determined at time of Page 3 Memorandum No PZ 01-180 approval (use approval), that the proposed storage areas would meet the 15% area limit, and would be adequately screened Although the drawing in Exhibit "C" indicates the "typical" location for each storage space, it does not show the locations of all future storage areas, nor does it indicate the appearance of the fencing material to show compatibility with the rear facades and proximity to public view corridors It is noteworthy that the subject approval would also include the approval to subsequently monitor for compliance with the maximum area cap, and review for acceptable screening/appearance in an incremental and administrative manner Although the subject request involves industrial land uses, which typically are not held to higher appearance standards, the subject PIO is unique in that 1) the uses include a mixture of retail, office, industrial and now residential uses, 2) the projects have high visibility from adjacent roadways such as Gateway Boulevard, Quantum Boulevard and 1-95, and 3) since the appearance standards are higher than typical as reflected by the architectural products erected or approved on the subject lots Therefore, the appearance of projects within the Quantum Park PID has been a high priority of both project designers and city staff To ensure that the requirements are met with respect to area and visibility, and to comply with the requirements of Section 7 E(1), staff recommends 1) that the applicant designate on each site plan or comparable drawing, the specific locations, or optional locations eligible for placement of the storage areas to be requested in this application, and 2) provide color renderings of all or a typical storage enclosure shown on each of the subject plans indicated in #1 above Staff recommends that the screening be compatible with the color of the corresponding rear fayade, and that items kept in those storage areas in direct view of 1-95 or Quantum Boulevard not be stacked to exceed the height of the storage screen The above plans and details could be submitted at time of review by the Planning & Development Board, and if acceptable to the Board (and Commission), and in accordance with conditions contained herein, staff would subsequently confirm compliance of area data indicated on the plans wth the maximum limit of 15% RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis contained herein on the proposed use, staff recommends that the list of permitted uses within the Quantum Park PID, be amended to allow outdoor storage on those approved projects on Lots 32-38, 68A-70, 72, and 73A-76 as shown on drawings to be found acceptable by the Planning & Development Board Approval of the drawings by the Planning & Development Board will include approving the appearance of the proposed storage screening and compatibility of the screening with the subject projects. Staff further conditions this approval on the operational limitation that where in view from 1-95 and Quantum Boulevard, stacking of items shall not exceed the height of the proposed eight-foot (8') screening Said conditions are also placed in E>d1ibit "D" - Conditions of Approval MR.sb Attachments S:IPlanningISHAREDlWPIPROJECTSIQUANTUM 2000lLOTS 32 381USAP 01-0021Staff Report.doc .--111 RIIIIIIII"lInn ,...... -- _ ,",. -~h. - _ l~) ,II l..} J'~ rT~/' ~ (.j ,-cDk t, .~,S : 'J:: r~. ~ aj,1=a ~- QL ~ ~~ =fJ[fhli i ----- ::> ~ TV' ~ t-J'" @ U!JIJ' =1 J /~ ,c /~A ~ ~TIJ !~ JC'~iJ :. j( I=I'L^^ ~ ~, ~ 0 -J',"J: I- l' ~ - -<.
