BACKGROUND
According to public documents, the applicants purchased the property in February 2001 This site was
previously the location for the Florida Motor Vehicle Inspection station Mr And Mrs. Ed Carey, current
owners of the subject site requested approval of a major site plan modification (MSPM 03-002) to construct
a showroom addition to his existing Manufacturing - Furniture business. According to Mr Carey, his
business has engaged in manufacturing custom furnishings and decor items for residential, retail store, and
restaurant applications since 1971 Approved by the City Commission on July 15, 2003, the project was
proposed to be built in two (2) phases. The first phase would consist of constructing the showroom
addition while the second phase would involve enhancing the facades of the existing building
ANALYSIS
On July 15, 2003, the City Commission granted site plan approval for the above-referenced project. This
master site plan modification approval was subject to 18 conditions of approval All project conditions of
approval pertaining to the site plan would still apply
According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have one (1)
year to secure a building permit from the Development Department" It states further that the City
Commission may extend the approval for one (1) year provided that the applicant has filed a request for
a time extension prior to the expiration of the original approval In this case, the applicant has met the
requirement. The Planning & Zoning Division received the application for a site plan time extension on
July 2, 2004, prior to the expiration date.
Since purchasing the property, the owners have used any available funds to enhance the property After
Commission approval, the owners approached two different lending institutions for financing the
proposed improvements. Due to the funds spent on property improvements, the Company's bottom line
was affected to the point where the lending institutions were not comfortable with the loans. The
business however is having a very profitable year and with fewer dollars being spent for property
improvements, the financials appear stronger and the outlook for obtaining the necessary loans has
improved Therefore, the applicants believe they can accomplish everything necessary to acquire their
permits within a year These reasons appear to provide justification and a need for the formal request for
site plan extension
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for a one (i)-year time extension of the major site plan
modification approval (MSPM 03-002) This recommendation is based on the "good faith" effort shown to
build the project and the fact that no changes have been made to the Land Development Regulations that
would impact this project since it was approved in 2003 However, since the build-out date in the
County's Traffic Performance sign-off is 2004, the applicant will be required to provide the City with an
updated concurrency letter of approval from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering, prior to issuance of
any permits. Approval of this request for site plan time extension would extend the project's expiration
date to July 15, 2005
All conditions of approval included in the initial development order must still be satisfactorily addressed
during the building permit process, along with the addition of the updated traffic concurrency approval
mentioned above. Any conditions of approval recommended by the Board or required by the City
Commission will be placed in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval
