RE REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY GRANTED WAIVERS -
QUANTUM VILLAGE AT QUANTUM PARK (RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF
LOTS MU 83-88, ALL OF LOT 89B)
JIl1-clu--
Dear Mr fmpf
Pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordmances - Part III - Land Development
Regulations - Chapter 2- Zonmg, Section 7- Planned IndustrIal Development Dlstnct, and
Chapter 2, Section II - Supplemental Regulations, modIfications to waivers are hereby
requested for Quantum Village at Quantum Park. The waivers will pertam to lots MU 83
through MU 88, located north of Gateway Boulevard, west of High Ridge Road, and Parcel
89B, located north of Gatewav Boulevard, east of High Ridge Road.
BACKGROUNDIHISTORICAL PETITION INFORMATION
Quantum Park IS a Development of RegIOnal Impact approved m 1984 The Development
Order granted for the park has been amended smce ItS ongmal adoption. The amendment that
allows reSidential land uses wlthm the Park IS Amendment No to that "slffiultaneously
mcreased the commercial mtensltles and decreased the office and mdustnal mtensltles. The
Simultaneous mcreasmg and decreasmg of the land use mtensltles resulted m no additIOnal
regIOnal Impact most notably by not mcreasmg the total traffic generated" (Quantum Park
Annual Status Report - March 2002)
Parcels MU 83 through MU 88 have Master Plan approval that Will allow development of the
proposed commercial and residential land uses. The commercial land uses will face Gateway
Boulevard and the balance of the property 'will be developed as tQ\,vnhomes City Council
granted WaIvers to accomphsh the development.
A Notice of Proposed Change and Master Plan Amendment were approved by City CouncIl
on October 15, 2002 for Parcel 89B, and waivers were granted to allow the townhomes
proposed for the parcel.
Smce the approvals were granted by City Council, the developer has modrfied the reSidential
unitS and site plan. The proposed modificatIOns are submitted as part of the Technical Site
Plan Submittal. The changes proposed bv the developer are a result of staff recommendatIOns
made dunng the reView of the conceptual master plan and create a neo-traditlOnal commumty
mstead of a typical townhouse tract development.

WAIVERS AND SUPPORTING JUSIFICATION.
Below IS a lIst of the Waivers and supporting Justification from the City of Bo}nton Beach Code of
Ordmances Part III - Land Development Regulations Chapter 2 - Zomng, Section 7 - Planned Industnal
Development Dlstnct and SectIOn II - Supplemental DeSign Standards
Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 - H. Design Criteria. 15. Distance between buildings Waiver of 18 feet to
allow a reduction 10 the m10lmum distance from 25 feet to 7 feet. City Council approved waiver reductIOn
of II feet.
JustIficatIOn. ThIs IS a residential pod that would typically be subject to the regulations contamed m the
R-3 Multifamily Zomng Dlstnct, which reqUires a twenty-foot minImum buildmg separation. For s10gle
famIly or duplex UnIts, a typical separatIon IS 7.5 feet from the mtenor property lIne. The twenty five foot
buildmg separation reqUired m the PIDD applIes to mdustnal or commercial bUlldmgs that are allowed by
Code a greater Floor Area Ratio and buIldmg height that what IS contemplated With thiS two story town
home development. The greater floor area ratio and buIlding height produces a much larger build10g mass
than a residential UnIt. It IS also Important to note that the City's code contemplated the separation would
apply to buildings be10g on the "same lot or parcel of land" whereas the to\\-n homes Will be fee Simple
ownership and will share a common wall.
To reduce the size and appearance of the build1Ogs, there are no garages m the front of the homes. Pnvate
space IS created through the use of courtyards and architectural details. More common open space m
lOgical useable areas IS thereby created for all of the residents It IS Important to note that the seven-foot
dImenSIOn eXists only 10 one locatiOn, and IS near the pedestnan connection and focal po1Ots for the
commercial parcel. By reonentmg this row of townhomes, vlsual10terest IS created.
Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 H. Design Criteria. 16. District setbacks:
Waiver of to feet to allow a reductIOn 10 the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 0 feet. City Council
approved the onglnal waiver of ten feet.
JustIfication. The changes 10 product type and creation of a neo-tradttIonal development result 10 more
common green space m useable areas deSigned to create mteractIon With the reSidents. Intenor courtyards
are prOVided for residents who may deSire pnvate green space. Otherwise, the maJonty of green space IS
dedicated for common open space use by all of the reSidents.
Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 H. Design Criteria. 17 Peripheral greenbelt:
Waiver of ten feet to allow a reductIOn 10 the penpheral buffer where adjacent to reSidential from 40 feet
to 7 feet (Lots MU 83, 87 & 88), Waiver of 5 feet to allow a reduction 10 the penpheral buffer from 25
feet to 10 feet (Lot 89B)
Further reductIons 10 the prevIOusly granted waIVers are required to accomplIsh the neo-traditlOnal
neighborhood on Parcel 89B The reductIon 10 penmeter buffer Waivers actually accomplIshes a better
design because the umts are set back farther from the property Ime and do not have the reSidents pnvate
open space fac10g eXIstIng mdustnal buildings. The buildmgs have been onentated so that VisibilIty from
the UnIts to the adjacent properties IS mmImaI. Where there IS eXlst10g mdustnal build10gs the developer
will 10stall a SIX foot precast concrete wall. These design features should negate potential land use
compatibilIty complaints the City was anticipatIng.
Me Michael Rumpf, Director
City of Boynton Beach

November 6, 2002
On Parcels MU 83 through MU 88, the bUlldmgs are set back farther from the property hne than
ongmally proposed. Agam, no pnvate green space IS facmg potentIal1Odustnal property The townhomes
have been onented With Inmted exposure to the off-Site area, allow1Og a reduction 10 the buffer Width. On
the west property hne the garages and alley will face the off-Site parcel.
Approval of these modificatIOns to the prevIOusly granted WaIvers Improves the overall deSign, of wrnch
staff ongmally recommended most of the concepts.
If you have any questIOns regarding thiS request for WaIvers, please call me

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
QUANTUM PARK
LOTS 83-88 AND 89-B
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
I. INTRODUCTION
Environmental Services, Inc , (ESI) conducted an environmental assessment of Quantum Park
Lots 83-88 and 89-B on 23 August 2002. The lots are undeveloped land 10 portions of SectIons
16 and 17, Township 45, Range 43, Palm Beach County, Flonda (Figure 1) The site IS
approximately 23 acres and Lots 83-88 are located northwest of the mtersectlOn of Gateway
Boulevard and High Ridge Road. Lot 89-B IS located east of High Ridge Road and IS completely
surrounded by commercial bmldmgs. Lots 83-88 are bounded on the west and north by sand
pme scrub and are bounded on the south and east by roads and commerCial bUlldmgs. A dirt
road runs along the northern penmeter of Lot 88 and contmues along the western penmeter of
Lots 88, 87, and 83 A second dirt road follows the sectIOn lIne boundary through Lots 84, 86,
87, and 88 A dramage canal that extends along the northern perImeter of Lot 89-B drams the
property and surroundmg commercial lots.
The purpose of the environmental assessment was to document occurrences of any slgmficant
environmental resources mcludmg vegetatIOn aSSOCiatIOns, jUrIsdictIOnal wetland areas, and
listed plant or WildlIfe species.
II. METHODS
Pnor to the site VISit, the U S GeologIcal Survey 7.5-mmute Quadrangle TopographiC Map,
Lake Worth Quadrangle (Photorevlsed 1983) (Figure 1) and the SoIls Survey of Palm Beach
County Area, Flonda (U.S Department of AgrIculture, 1978) were reVIewed to determme
topographiC features and site soIl mappmg unitS. Copies of the most current (1999) Palm Beach
County bluelIne aerIal photographs of the parcel were obtamed and reViewed to determme
potentIal location of environmental features.
A pedestrIan survey of the parcel was conducted to map approximate locatIOns and boundaries of
slgmficant environmental resources, vegetative aSSOCiatIOns, exotic vegetatIOn, wetland areas,
and occurrence of lIsted plant or animal species. ApprOXimate locatIOns of vegetative
community cover type boundaries and other features were mapped on the aenal photograph of
the site. VegetatIOn asSOCiatIOns were Identified In accordance With Flonda Land Use Cover and
Forms ClassificatIOns Systems Handbook (FLUCFCS) (FlOrIda Department of TransportatIOn
1999)
Wetland protection IS mandated under both federal and state regulatIOns. The U S Army Corps
of Engmeers (CE) regulates activItIes m Waters of the Umted States pursuant to the Clean Water
Act (PL92-500 Section 404) as further defined m the CE regulatory program (33 CFR 320-330)
The State of Flonda Department of EnVironmental ProtectIOn (DEP) has establIshed wetland
IdentificatIOn and permlttmg processes at Chapter 62-330, 62-340 and 62-312 of the Flonda
AdminIstrative Code (F AC) Current federal and state wetland defimtIons are derIved from the

ongmal defimtiOn found m 33 CFR 328.3, IdentIfymg wetlands as "those areas that are
mundated, or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duratIOn suffiCient to
support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetatIOn typically
adapted to lIfe In saturated soIl conditions" DelmeatlOn of federally regulated JunsdlctlOnal
wetlands IS determmed by the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USAE
Waterways Expenment StatIOn EnVIronmental Laboratory 1987) DelmeatlOn of wetlands
regulated by DEP and South Flonda Water Management Dlstnct (SFWMD) IS done accordmg to
Chapter 62-340 FAC, DelIneation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters. The
Florida Wetlands Delineation Manual (GIlbert et al. 1995) serves as a gUIde to Chapter 62-340
Both manuals, which emphasize the IdentificatIOn of hydnc SOlis, hydrophytlc vegetatIOn, and
wetland hydrologiC conditions m makmg wetland determmatlOns, were used m thiS mvestigatlon.
Listed species of plants and wIldlIfe are found m Florida's Endangered Species. Threatened
Species and Species of Special Concern, Official Lists (Flonda Game and Fresh Water Fish
CommISSion 1997) and Preservation of Native Flora of Florida, Chapter 5B-40 (Flonda
Department of Agnculture and Consumer Services, DIVISion of Plant Industry, October 2000)
Any occurrences of lIsted species were recorded.
III. RESULTS
A. Soils
SoIl on the eastern half of the site is mapped as Paola sand (Figure 2) Typical vegetatIOn
IS sand pme (Pinus clausa) and an undergrowth of scrub oaks (Quercus geminata, Q
myrtifolia, and Q chapmanii), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), and rosemary (Ceratiola
ericoides). The surface IS sparsely covered by grasses, pnckly-pear cactus (Opuntia
humifusa), mosses, and lIchens. Western portions of Lots 83, 87, 88 are mapped as St.
LUCie sand. Natural vegetatIOn IS sand pme, scrub oak, saw palmetto, rosemary, pnckly-
pear cactus, remdeer moss, and sparse clumps of wIre grass (Aristida beyrichiana) and
rose natal grass (Rhynchelytum repens) Under normal conditions, the water table for both
soIl types IS below SIX feet.
B. Vegetative Communities
In November of 1999, ESI conducted an envIronmental assessment of Lots 83-88 At
that time the dommant vegetative commumty was sand pme scrub Sometime after the
assessment, those SIX lots were cleared of all canopy vegetatIOn. The most current
bluelme aenal photograph avaIlable (February 1999) shows the Site pnor to the clearmg.
In addition, smce thiS photograph was taken, development has occurred on the parcel to
the east of Lot 89-B Current vegetative aSSOCiatIOns (Figure 3) on the parcel were
mapped usmg FLUCFCS

The vegetative commumtIes are descnbed as follows
1 Upland Scrub, Disturbed (FLUCFCS 4361 ). The Upland Scrub cover type
IS found throughout Lots 83-88 Upland scrub IS charactenzed by no one
predommant species and IS usually a disturbed site that has regenerated naturally
PrevIOus to bemg cleared, thiS area was sand pme scrub While the site has smce
regenerated naturally, the plants observed are not typical plants found m sand pme
scrub communities. Currently, dommant vegetation m Lots 83-88 mcludes small
scrub oaks (Quercus spp), rose natalgrass, field sandspur (Cenchrus incertus),
caesarweed (Urena lobata), downy mIlkpea (Galactia volubilis), partndge-pea
(Chamaecrista fasciculata), rattle-box (Crotalaria pumila), and torpedo grass
(Panicum repens). Other species observed mclude grapevme (Vilis sp), shrubby
false button weed (Spermacoce verticil/ata), hogplum (Ximenia americana),
pnckly-pear cactus, dog fennel (Eupatorium sp), scattered lovevme (Cassytha
filiformis), saw palmetto, and BrazIlian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). ThiS
cover type occupies approximately 40 acres.
2 Sand Pme, Disturbed (FLUCFCS 4131) The Sand Pme cover type was
only found on Lot 89-B Lot 89-B had been dIsturbed In the past but still retams
the majonty of ItS ongmal canopy The dommant canopy vegetation m Lot 89-B
mcludes sand pme, Brazihan pepper, and scrub oak along With scattered earleaf
acaCIa (Acacia auriculiformis) and Austrahan pme (Casuarina equisetifolia)
Groundcover consists of saw palmetto, pnckly-pear cactus, dog fennel, and
lovevme. Giant wIld pme au plants (Til/andsia utriculata) were observed m some
of the larger canopy trees. ThiS cover type occupIes 13.5 acres.
3 PnmItIve Roads / Trails (FLUCFCS 8146) Two Wide trails eXist on the
property The first runs west along the northern penmeter of Lot 88 and then
follows the property lIne south along Lots 88, 87, and 83 The second traIl
follows the section boundary lIne through the center of the property and through
Lots 84, 86, 87, and 88 Both traIls contamed scattered vegetatIOn mcludmg
shrubby false buttonweed, field sandspur, dog fennel, grapevme, and torpedo
grass. ThiS cover type occupies 5.5 acres.
C. Listed Species
One lIsted wIldlIfe speCies, the gopher tortOise (Gopherus polyphemus), was observed on
the site. A burrow survey was performed to estimate the size of the gopher tortOise
populatIOn. The tortOise populatIOn IS concentrated m the northwestern comer of the
parcel (Lot 88) A total of 12 gopher tortoise burrows (both active and mactlve) were
located wlthm the property (Figure 4) No gopher tortoise burrows were observed m Lot
89-B The estimated gopher tortOise population IS eight tortoises (12 active/inactive
burrows X 0614 [Flonda Fish and WildlIfe Conservation CommiSSIOn {FFWCC}

moummg dove (Zenaida macroura).
A lIsted plant, the giant wIld pme (Tillandsia utriculata), was observed m scrub oaks on
Lot 89-B ThIS speCIes of air plant IS regulated by the Flonda Department of Agnculture
and Consumer Services (FDACS) as Endangered.
D. Wetlands
No wetlands eXist on the property
IV SUMMARY
A. Vegetative Communities
The native vegetatIOn commumtIes on the property have been severely Impacted.
InvasIve exotic species that occupy slgmficant portIOns of the property mclude BrazilIan
pepper, rose natal grass, and torpedo grass. PIles of constructIOn waste are found
throughout the site. No undisturbed native upland habitat eXists on the site.
B. Listed Species
Proposed development on the site wIll Impact the gopher tortOIse populatIOn. A
relocatIOn or mCldental take permit should be obtained from EFWCC for the tortOIses that
would be Impacted by development. A burrow survey should be performed when the
development IS approximately 60 days from recelvmg all needed permits. Gopher
tortoises proposed for relocatIOn off-Site must have blood drawn and analyzed for Upper
Respiratory Tract Disease Upon the receipt of blood test results, an applIcation may be
submitted to FFWCC for relocation or mCldental take permit. Typical processmg time
for the permit applIcatIOn IS 30 days.
The giant Wild pme alf plants found m the canopy trees on Lot 89-B are regulated by
FDACS as Endangered. Regulated plant species are the property of the landowner
However, as a reqUIrement for development approval, the Town of Boynton Beach may
reqUIre relocatIOn and preservation of the endangered alf plants that occur on the site.
State law prohibits sale of regulated plants
C. Wetlands
No wetlands eXist on the property
ESI can asSiSt m addressmg all of the above tOpiCS by conductmg pre-permit applIcation
meetmgs With envlfonmental regulatory agencies, prepanng permit applIcatIOns m cooperation
With planners and engmeers, and defimng optIons that wIll assist m the development goals for
the parcel.
