TO Chairman and Members
Planning and Development Board
THROUGH Michael Rumpf fY1(..Je....-
Planning and Zoning irector
FROM: Lusia Galav, AICP
Principal Planner-
DATE October 4,2001
SUBJECT Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/MPMD 01-003
Master Plan Amendment #12
NATURE OF REQUEST
Quantum Park of Commerce is a partially built-out Development of Regional Impact (DRI)
comprised of 553 13 acres, zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) It is located on the
west side of 1-95, between Miner Road extended and the Boynton Canal - (C-16) (See
attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map) The applicant, MFT Development, Inc. is requesting an
amendment to the Quantum Park DRI Development Order (D 0 ) adopted December 4, 1984 by
Ordinance No 84-51 The original D 0 was subsequently amended 10 times by Ordinance
Nos 86-11, 86-37 88-3, 94-10, 94-51 96-33, 96-65, 97-20, 99-05 and 00-02. The City
Commission denied Amendment #11 on February 20, 2001 The current Master Plan for
Quantum Park is provided in Exhibit B" - Existing Master Plan
Amendment #12 proposes several changes including amending the existing use designations
on 14 lots in the Master Plan to the 'Mixed Use" designation This proposed change to the
Master Plan would potentially represent the second Mixed Use Pod within the PID All
requested changes are depicted in Exhibit "C" - Proposed Master Plan and described as
follows
1) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 from Office/Industrial
(01) land use to Mixed Use (MU) The proposed Mixed Use designation includes office
commercial and residential uses,
2) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31
from Office (0) land use to Mixed Use (MU) The proposed Mixed Use designation
includes office, commercial and residential uses, and
3) Increase the maximum number of dwelling units permitted from 500 to 1000
4) Designate lot 34-C as Industrial (IND) land use on the Master Plan
5) Reconfiguration of the current roadway and lot layout in the area of the PID north and
east of the Quantum Lakes Drive intersection with Quantum Boulevard, along Quantum
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/. ?MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
Lakes Drive to the eastern intersection with Gateway Boulevard This would result in two
(2) new Mixed Use lots totaling 5.21 acres and combining lots 62 and 63 to create one
lot labeled 102 totaling 6 145 acres.
BACKGROUND
An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost governed by
Florida Statutes Chapter 380 06 (19) - Substantial Deviations The applicant has submitted a
Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) in accordance with the statutory requirements The NOPC
is reviewed by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council (RPC) and the City The DCA and the RPC are reviewing the
proposed NOPC and will provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 380 06
(19)
The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 1 5, Sec. 4 3A requires a preliminary review
by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DRI Chapter 380 06 F S
requires that the local governing body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC
The City Commission is required to determine whether the proposed change to the Quantum
Park DRI is or is not a substantial deviation as defined in Chapter 380 06 (19) If it is determined
that the requested change is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant
to the statutory requirements If the City Commission determines that the proposed change is
not a substantial deviation then they may take action to approve or deny the requested change
The original DRI Development Order adopted a Master Plan for Quantum Park. That Master
Plan has been amended over the years, the latest change being approved on March 7, 2000
The proposed Amendment #12 alters the approved land uses for that Master Plan Therefore
the review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the changes to the Master Plan
for Quantum Park. In addition to the state statutes, staff has reviewed the Master Plan in
accordance with Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned Industrial
Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval First review comments were generated and
the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed the Master Plan changes on September 11,
2001
ANAL YSIS
Notice of Proposed Chanae (NOPC) - Substantial Deviation
The criteria for determining if a proposed change to a DRI is a substantial deviation are outlined
in Chapter 380 06 (19) In reviewing the statute section staff determined that four of the criteria
apply to the proposed changes for Quantum Park DRI The first two criteria fall under
subsection "(b)" which reads as follows "Any proposed change to a previously approved
development of regional impact or development order condition which, either individually or
cumulatively with other changes, exceeds any of the following criteria shall constitute a
substantial deviation and cause the development to be subject to further development-of-
regional-impact review without the necessity for a finding of same by the local
government:"
1 Chapter 380 06(19)(b)9., An increase in the number of dwelling units by 5 percent
or 50 dwelling units, whichever is greater
2
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/..".)MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
The proposed change includes an addition of 500 residential dwelling units to the 500
currently permitted for a total of 1000 dwelling units The proposed change exceeds this
threshold However, the proposed change also decreases the permitted industrial and
office square footage totals, In this case, the criterion outlined in Chapter
380 06(19)(e)5 c. applies That criterion is discussed below and would over ride the
determination above
2. Chapter 380 06(19) (b) 13 A decrease in the area set aside for open space of 5
percent or twenty acres, whichever is less
The proposed change regarding lot 34-C falls under this criterion This lot has never had
a development designation attached to it. The 6 58 acres is included in the open space
tabulation on the current master plan effective with Amendment #10 Eliminating this
area results in a 7 3 percent reduction in the Open Space category Lot 34-C was
labeled as detention in Master Plans associated with amendments #6 through #8 to the
DRI The Master Plan for amendment # 9 and the current Master Plan #10 label this lot
as 34-C, with no detention designation It is the applicant's contention that this lot is no
longer needed to satisfy the drainage requirements for the park, Engineering
Department staff has concurred with this assumption based on documentation received
from the South Florida Water Management District, the regional permitting authority for
drainage in this development. The SFWMD issued a letter dated September 6, 2001,
attached as Exhibit "D", indicating that they had no objection to the approval of the
proposed changes citing no adverse regional water resource impacts. Staff has
determined that the elimination of tract 34-C from Open Space would not constitute a
substantial deviation However, staff has serious concerns regarding applying a
development designation to this lot. These concerns are outlined below under
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The third criterion for review of this NOPC relates to a change not specified in the statute
3 Chapter 380 06(19) (e) 3., Except for the change authorized by sub-paragraph 2.f., any
addition of land not previously reviewed or any change not specified in paragraph (b)
or paragraph (c) shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation. This
presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.
The changes related to conversion of Office and Office/lndustrial designations to Mixed Use
do not fall into any category specified in the statutory criteria either assuming a substantial
deviation or indicating that it is not a substantial deviation The burden is on the applicant to
provide clear and convincing evidence that it is not a substantial deviation and subject to
further development-of-regional-impact review The information provided by the applicant,
including the Substantial Deviation Determination Chart and the traffic study present
evidence that the increases proposed for residential use, allowed in the Mixed Use
designation is offset by the decreases in the permitted Industrial and Office square footage
totals
The fourth criterion, which is applicable for review of this proposed change is provided in
Chapter 380 06(19)(e)5 which states "The following changes to an approved development of
regional impact shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation Such presumption may
be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence"

Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/1. JMD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
4 Chapter 380 06(19){e}5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the
contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases and decreases
of at least two of the uses within a authorized multiuse development of regional
impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified in
380.0651 (3){c) , (d), (f) and (g) and residential use.
As part of the NOPC application the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation
Determination Chart" The applicant has provided an updated chart. Amendment #12
involves changes to six land use categories Industrial, Office, Office/lndustrial, Mixed
Use (includes Residential), Roads and Open Space As stated above, the number of
residential dwelling units is proposed to increase by 500 units, The permitted Industrial
use is proposed to decrease in intensity by 375,354 square feet and office use is
proposed to decrease by 72,922 square feet. The Open Space category decreases by
8 05 acres These changes are reflected in the "Notes" section on the Master Plan The
proposed increase and decreases are presumed to maintain the vested traffic
generation level of 63,752 average daily trips (ADT)
Conclusion
The proposed changes delineated in Amendment #12 are determined not to be a substantial
deviation per Chapter 38006 (19) of the Florida Statutes The applicant has provided the
Substantial Deviation Table, drainage information and a traffic study, to provide clear and
convincing evidence of a non-substantial deviation finding This determination is subject to
satisfying Condition of Approval #12 regarding Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standards.
Master Plan Modification
The proposal submitted for the NOPC modifies the approved Master Plan for the Quantum Park
DRI There are three major changes proposed The first change relates to the development of a
second Mixed Use Pod in the northwest corner of Quantum Corporate Park. This Mixed Use
Pod encompasses 14 lots for a total of 23,27 acres. The lots are currently vacant. A descriptive
summary of these changes is provided below
Lots 7.8.9. 10, and 11
These lots were previously designated as Office/Industrial (01) Land Use The Land Use has
been revised to "Mixed Use (MU)" The proposed Mixed Use Land Use Designation includes
office, commercial and residential uses
Lots 23.24,25.26.27.28.29,30 and 31
The Land Use of these lots was previously designated as Office (0) Land Use The Land Use
has been revised to "Mixed Use (MU) The proposed Mixed Use Land Use Designation
includes office, commercial and residential uses
In conjunction with the change described above, the applicant proposes to add 500 dwelling
units to the 500 currently permitted for a total of 1000 multi-family residential units.

Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/ .?MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
The second major change involves lot 34-C The applicant proposes to designate this lot
Industrial (IND) Lot 34-C is currently undesignated and is included in the Open Space
tabulation
Finally, the applicant proposes to reconfigure Quantum Lakes drive in the area north and east of
the Quantum Lakes Drive intersection with Quantum Boulevard, along Quantum Lakes Drive to
the eastern intersection with Gateway Boulevard This reconfiguration will create two new Mixed
Use lots totaling 521 acres, consolidate lots 62 and 63 into one lot labeled 102, decrease road
right-of way by 3 75 acres and further decrease the open space category due to the loss of lake
area.
The Land Use Acreage Table provided on the Master Plan will be changed as shown below
land Use Acreaae
land Use Desianation Proposed Acreaae Existina Acreaae Chanae
Industrial 1 07 83 101 25 + 6 58
Office (0) 1296 2824 (15 28)
Office/Industrial (01) 7975 8774 (7 99)
Mixed Use (MU) 8564 62.38 + 23.26
Roads 3758 41 13 ( 3 52)
Open Space 82.20 9025 (8 05)
All other categories on the Land Use Acreage Table remain the same as approved in
Amendment #10 The Quantum Park DRI acreage total of 553 13 remains unchanged (Refer to
Exhibit "E" Area Calculation Chart)
The Quantum Park DRI has been amended 10 times over the years which is not unusual for a
DRI of this type The Florida Statute governing the DRI process, Chapter 38006(19), provides
for and anticipates amendments stating that "There are a variety of reasons why a developer
may wish to propose changes to an approved development of regional impact, including
changed market conditions
This proposed changes to the Master Plan were analyzed from two perspectives The first is the
potential for creating additional regional or local impacts The second is the consistency and
compatibility of the proposed changes with the regulations and policies adopted by the City
through the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies
such as the Visions 20/20 plan
Impacts
Reqional
A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are
considered regional in nature Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if
5
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001, PMD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally
identified and mitigated In the case of the Quantum Park DRI the major issues are whether
there will be an increase in traffic resulting from the land use redistribution/redesignation and
reconfiguration of Quantum lakes Drive Also of concern are the impacts related to drainage if
lot 34-C receives a development designation of Industrial (IND)
A provision in Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park development order requires that" A traffic
study shall be submitted with any future application requesting a change in use designations on
any lot. The City shall hire, at the applicant's expense, an independent traffic consultant to
review the study" In lieu of an independent traffic consultant, the city's Public Works
Department Director, a designated TRC member, conducted the review of the traffic study The
cost of the review will be charged back to the applicant as part of the DRI review fee The
applicant has also transmitted the traffic study to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for
their customary review and approval
Based on the TRC review of the Master Plan, including the traffic study, no additional regional
impacts are evident. The vested number of trips, 63,752 is presumed to remain unchanged due
to the balancing of increases and decreases in the intensities of the proposed changes to the
land use designations. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic
statement provided by the applicant and has not granted approval The letter is attached as
Exhibit "F" The substantial deviation determination is contingent upon the applicant rectifying
the discrepancies cited by the County in order to assure that the vested trips are not exceeded
The Department of Community Affairs and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council focus
their review of the amendment on regional issues exclusively Staff has not yet received a
formal written response from these agencies. It is anticipated that the city will receive comments
from both agencies before the application goes to the City Commission for approval
Local
The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts The development order
for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested changes is within the jurisdiction
of the city As such, the city's main focus is local issues and impacts Besides compatibility with
the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, to be described later, three local
issues were identified during the review process
The first issue relates to local traffic concerns Jeff Livergood, Public Works Director, reviewed
the Applicant's traffic report, prepared by Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. Mr Livergood
focused his analysis on the Quantum Lakes Drive road closure and traffic signalization His
analysis is attached as Exhibit "G" of this report. Staff is of the opinion that Quantum Lakes
Drive can be safely closed at Gateway Boulevard The reconfiguration as proposed will require
that the affected area be replatted Internal connections to the reconfigured lots will be
addressed at the plat and site plan level
Regarding signalization, staff has determined that traffic signals are currently or will be
warranted It will be the responsibility of the developer and occupants of Quantum Park to pay
for the cost of construction when traffic signals at the intersections of Quantum Boulevard and
Gateway Boulevard and Congress Avenue are warranted
Adequate utilitv service is the second local issue of concern regarding the proposed change to
the Quantum Park DRI The Utilities Department expressed this concern in first review TRC
6
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/ ~MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
comments. The fact is that the original DRI for the total park was designed for commercial,
industrial and office uses Both the water and wastewater systems were designed to support
these types of uses. Four (4) lift stations were configured to handle the wastewater generation
for the 553 13 acre park. Residential uses were not calculated into the design and may tax the
existing facilities to their limits The conditions of approval include a requirement that any
upgrade to the water and wastewater system within Quantum Park, due to the intensification of
land use proposed with this application, must be performed at the applicant's expense
The third local issue is related to school facilities In accordance with Comprehensive Plan
Policy 8 22 1 a copy of the Quantum DRI Notice of Proposed Change (NO PC) was sent to the
School District of Palm Beach County This policy requires the city to notify the School Board of
any residential development over 20 units. The School Board reviewed the NOPC and provided
their response in a letter attached as Exhibit "H" The letter indicates that a concurrency
determination shall not be required at this time
Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies
Comprehensive Plan
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in Article
2, Section 9, Administration and Enforcement, Item C Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
Rezonings These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed change
includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Although the subject
application does not include an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Maps Staff
has applied these criteria to the review of the aspects of the subject application that involve
significant changes in land use options
a Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive
plan policies including but not limited to, a prohibition against any increase in
dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without written
approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Planning Division and the City's risk
manager The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements, which would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan
According to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Support Document, under the
"Discussion of Supply and Demand for Commercial Land" the following is recommended
"The Future Land Use Plan which is proposed for the City and area to be annexed by
the City will accommodate all of the anticipated demand for commercial land through
build-out. Therefore, the City should not change the land use to commercial categories,
beyond that which is shown on the proposed Future Land Use Plan, except for minor
boundary adjustments, small infill parcels, or commercial uses of a highly specialized
nature, which have special location or site requirements, and therefore cannot, be easily
accommodated on already designated commercial areas
Policy 1 19 6 of the Land Use Element restates this recommendation
"The City shall not allow commercial acreage which is greater than the demand which
has been projected, unless it can be demonstrated that the additional commercial
acreage would not require the proportion of commercial acreage on the City's Future
7
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/ ~MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
Land Use Map to exceed the proportion of commercial acreage on the Palm Beach
County Future Land Use Map The City shall not allow commercial unless a particular
property is unsuitable for other uses, or a geographic need exists which cannot be
fulfilled by existing commercially-zoned property, and the commercial use would comply
with all other applicable comprehensive plan policies"
Policy 1 19 2 of the Land Use Element addresses the provision of lands for Industrial
development and reads as follows.
"The City shall provide continued effort to allow for industrial acreage which can
accommodate the approximate industrial employment which has been projected in the
Future Land Use Element, and prohibit conversion of land designated "Industrial" on the
currently adopted Future Land Use Map unless such conversion would generate a range
of employment choices for current and future residents, provide goods and services of
regional importance, and retain regional fiscal and economic significance"
At the time of adoption of the 1989 City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan, approximate
acreage for each of the various land use designations included 269 acres for Office
Commercial, 695 acres for Local Retail Commercial and 745 acres for Industrial Quantum's
contribution to these totaled 133 acres for Office Commercial, 30 acres for Local Retail and 199
acres for Industrial
The DRI Amendment allowing the developers to combine the use categories and permit Mixed
Use (Commercial/Office/Multi-family) provides the developers with a great deal of flexibility with
the ultimate, likely reduction in land available for industrial uses
b Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern,
or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with
the protection of the public welfare
The proposed rezoning could create an isolated district that would not relate to the adjacent
lands, given the range of uses that could be developed on these parcels However, since
designations for these parcels remain nebulous, any synergism is difficult to determine
The previously approved Mixed Use Pod is located adjacent to roads that are a part of the City's
Thoroughfare System and are provided with easy access from 1-95 and is within a five-minute
walk of the local Tri-Rail station The area for which the additional mixed use designation is now
being requested is isolated from all of these components of the transportation network.
With respect to the change to lot 34-C, industrial use on this parcel would allow for the creation
of an isolated use incompatible with the surrounding existing uses, which may detrimentally
impact, through "edge effect", the preserve Although the parcel abuts adjacent property
(unincorporated) with future industrial use potential this parcel also contains lands that may be
preserved and contribute to the greater preserve area within Quantum Park. Additional industrial
lands along Miner Road would contrast with the predominately residential land use character,
particularly once the lands surrounding the High Ridge Country Club are developed along with
the City Park.
c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable
8
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/.. PMD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
The applicant has provided no indication that there are changing conditions that make the
proposed change desirable. Furthermore, the applicant has made no progress in the
development of the first mixed-use project, which remains vacant, and there also exists lots with
the "Industrial" use option that remain undeveloped Although staff has not supported previous
conversions of industrially-classified parcels, staff does not support the conversion of subject
open space to industrial lands, and recommends that existing industrial lands be developed
prior to suggesting that open space be sacrificed for land conversion
d. Whether the proposed use would be compatible with utility systems, roadways, and
other public facilities.
The Utilities Department has indicated that any unforeseen impacts to the water and sewer
systems and related levels of service will be borne by the developer The updated Traffic Impact
Analysis submitted with the request for amendment indicates that the traffic generated will be
within the limits for which the DRI is vested With respect to solid waste, the Solid Waste
Authority has stated, within a letter dated January 8, 2001, that adequate capacity exists to
accommodate the county's municipalities throughout the 10-year planning period Drainage will
also be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan approvals, and must satisfy all requirements of
the city and local drainage permitting authorities Lastly, the Parks and Recreation Department
has detailed the requirements that must be met at the site plan stage in order for its levels of
service standards to be maintained
e Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the current and future use
of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of adjacent or
nearby properties.
The 1989 Comprehensive Plan contains policies dealing with the general incompatibilities
between "Industrial" and "Residential" land uses and recommends physical separation and
buffering to ameliorate those effects The proposed location for the additional multi-family units
is adjacent to properties developed for industrial and office uses and is bisected by Quantum
Boulevard On the east the property is buffered from existing development by a water
management tract and on the west by the E-4 Canal The development of an additional 500
multi-family units in this portion of the DRI will likely hinder the use of adjacent lands for their
originally intended purpose and therefore further change the overall nature of the entire
development. Residential uses could lead to further roadway alterations and the combination of
incompatible vehicle traffic and pressures
Recent studies, both within Florida and at the national level comparing government revenues to
expenses for various land uses, indicate that residential development creates deficits while
commercial and industrial development creates surpluses An increase in residential uses and
the attendant increase in demands on services without accompanying increases in revenues
from other sources, i e employment-based development, can create operating deficits for local
government.
Also see criteria "b" above regarding lot 34-C
f Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning
On February 29, 2000, a representative of the Quantum development stated to the City
Commission that the property could be sold and developed for industrial uses. There is no
9
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001, ~MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
indication that conditions have changed to the extent that the same would not be true only one
year later
g Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the
needs of the neighborhood and the city as a whole.
As discussed above, there is no justification provided by the applicant to convert lands
earmarked for development as an employment center to residential development. If one of the
goals of the City is to maintain a jobs/housing balance, as lands designated for employment-
based development are reduced, a corresponding need for housing diminishes Otherwise, the
City becomes merely a bedroom community for other, more successful, employment centers in
the County
h Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in
districts where such use is already allowed
With the recent approval of apartment developments, there are now many approved but
unoccupied multi-family housing units within the City Five hundred of those are approved for
development in the Quantum DRI, and future approvals should be located in the downtown area
to promote redevelopment efforts At the time of their approval, the developers of Quantum
agreed to a limitation of 500 total residential units within the development. The addition of
another 500 units seems highly unnecessary without some understanding of the rate at which
the market will absorb the approved units and only following the successful progress toward
developing the first mixed use pod
Land Development Requlations
The Quantum Park DRI is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) Coincident with the
approval of Quantum Amendment #10, the PID district regulations were amended per
Ordinance No 000-03 to allow' "mixed use residential/commercial uses in PID's totaling a
minimum of 500 acres." Subsequent to the adoption of Quantum Amendment #10 the land
Development regulations were amended to allow mixed use pods of commercial retail, multi-
family residential and office/professional use in a PID This Ordinance No 000-52 also provided
for design guidelines, submission requirements, review and waiver provisions related to a Mixed
Use Pod Master Plan As provided in the ordinance, the definition of a Mixed Use Pod is as
follows
"Ch.2, Sec. 7 P1.A. - For the purpose of this subsection, a Mixed Use Pod is defined as a
development project located entirely within a previously approved PID which, when complete,
will have all the following uses.
1 multi-family residential
2. commercial/retail
3 office and professional
The residential component of the Mixed Use Pod may include fee simple and rental dwelling
units A Mixed Use Pod is the aggregate of all land within the PID consolidated and designated
for mixed uses"
The NOPC for amendment #12 as proposed will create a second Mixed Use Pod as defined
above If approved, the second Mixed Use Pod would be regulated consistent with the
requirements as adopted in Ordinance No 000-52 described above
10
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/, ~MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
The other changes proposed in this application are consistent with current Land Development
Regulations
Conclusion
As indicated herein, the impacts of the proposed development on the utility systems, roadways
and public facilities are either within the existing capacities or additional provisions will be
required of the developer to ensure that levels of service standards are not compromised
Regarding the conversion of 23 27 acres from Industrial and Industrial/Office to Mixed Use, the
physical location of the proposed change could be buffered to lessen the impacts of the
development on existing and future surrounding development. However, there has been no
justification presented by the applicant that would refute the findings contained herein, nor
specifically justify its conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or its disadvantages regarding
location and fiscal impact. The same is also true of the conversion of lot 34-C to Industrial The
change proposed to Quantum Lakes Drive will have minimal impact and is supported by
sufficient data.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 380 06(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has
demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change is not a substantial
deviation requiring additional development of regional impact review
Regarding the proposed modifications to the Quantum Park Master Plan staff recommendations
are provided below
1 Addition of 23.27 Acres of Mixed Use (lots 7-11 and 23-31)
Staff does not support the request to change the current Office/lndustrial (01) and Office (0)
land use designations on lots 7-11 and 23-31 respectively, to Mixed Use to facilitate further
residential development in the Quantum PID The staff position is based on the following
considerations
First, the Quantum PID was established in order to diversify the city's tax base and provide a
master planned community suitable for attracting and retaining technology, office, industrial and
distribution uses Staff is concerned about whether it is in the city's interest to forfeit the long
range economic and land use pOlicies that led to the creation of the Quantum PID
Second, those who developed the existing off, industrial and distribution facilities in the
Quantum PID did so with the expectation that they were investing in a city sanctioned planned
industrial park. Staff is concerned that changing the land use designation on lots 7-11 and 23 -
31 to Mixed Use which would permit additional residential development, without consulting
these property owners, could further erode the city's credibility and adversely affect its ability to
attract and retain other industrial and distribution uses
These concerns notwithstanding, staff recognizes that there may be other, overriding,
considerations related to current economic and market conditions Accordingly, should the
Commission decide to grant the land use designations on lots 7-11 and 23-31 to Mixed Use,
which includes residential development, staff would recommend that apartments or congregate
care/living facilities be prohibited and that any residential development be restricted to fee
11
Quantum Park - DRIA 01-001/1 ,?MD 01-003
Memorandum No PZ 01-214
simple with an appropriate price point. Also the additional 500 dwelling units requested by the
applicant are contingent upon Commission approval of Mixed Use for lots 7-11 and 23-31
2 lot34C
Staff acknowledges that lot 34-C is no longer part of the required drainage system for the DRI,
however, staff does not support the replacement of this open space with development. This
position is based on the following
a) the subject property was never planned for development but for open space,
b) the site may have originally been included with the proposed 40 acre tract intended to meet
preservation requirements,
c) the parcel is separated from the other developable parcels and the Master Plan roadway
network;
d) development of the parcel will negatively impact through "edge effect" the adjacent preserve
area,
e) the subject parcel is surrounded by existing preserve and an unincorporated parcel to the
east which has the potential of generating future preserve dedication or acquisition which
would increase the consolidated preserve in this area.
Although staff has opposed previous amendments that reduced land available for industrial
uses, there currently exists vacant land that is developable for industrial uses Staff does not
support the increase in industrial land at the expense of open space.
3 Quantum lakes Drive Reconfiguration
Staff recommends approval of the reconfiguration of Quantum Lakes Drive as proposed on the
Master Plan Drawing for Amendment #12. This includes the creation of two (2) new Mixed Use
designated lots labeled 100 and 101 totaling 5 21 acres and the combining of lots 62 and 63 into
one new lot labeled 102 The reconfiguration is subject to all applicable Conditions of Approval
in Exhibit "I " including replatting of the affected parcels.

Dear~r

Subject:
Quantum Park, DRI No. 84-173
Notice of Proposed Change
In response to your request, South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) staff has
reviewed the August 8, 2001 Notification of A Proposed Change (NO PC) to a Previously
Approved Development of Regional Impact (DRI) submitted by Eugene Gerlica, P E., for
the above-referenced project. The primary purpose of the NOPC is to amend the Master
Development Plan to Jeflect changes in land use affecting various lots throughout the
development and reconfiguration Quantum Lakes Drive to create two additional
developable lots.
After review of the documentation submitted, SFWMD staff did not identify any potential
adverse regional water resource-related impacts that could result from approval of the
proposed changes. Consequently, the SFWMD has no objections to approval of the
proposed changes. However, a modification to the project's Conceptual Approval (Permit
No 50-01503-S) may be required to address the proposed land use changes as they may
impact the previously permitted acreage and land use assumptions
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at (561) 682-6862.

TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Michael.
The Palm Beach COUl1ty Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic statement (received
on August 11 2001) for the project entitled Quantum Park - Amendment '12. pursuant
to the Traffic Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land
Development Code.
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the approval can not ~
granted due to the following:
The traffic generated by the high school (abOut 2,283 dally trips) should
be counted as vested trips within the overall auantum development
trame generation
Daily and peak hour trips related to "ADA ApprovalS" as presented in
Attachments 1A, 18, and 1C, must reflect the values in the latest
Nope approval.
If you have 8 ny questions regarding this determination I please contact me at 684-4030

SUBJECT
Quantum NOPC #12
I have revIewed the proposed changes consIdered m NOPC #12 for Quantum Park. Quantum has
requested that consIderatIOn be gIVen by the CIty to the closure of the eastern portIon of Quantum
Lakes DrIve at Gateway Boulevard. There are essentIally three traffic Issues that merIt evaluatIOn
and scrutmy
Quantum Lakes Drive Closure
Staff IS of the opmIOn that Quantum Lakes DrIve can safely be closed at Gateway Boulevard.
Frankly, It IS staffs opmIOn that there IS value m closmg Quantum Lakes DrIveway smce thIS
would effectIvely elImmate a conflIct pomt on a busy arterIal route (Gateway Boulevard)
However, m closmg Quantum Lakes DrIve, we must be cognIzant of the revIsed access
configuratIOns from Lots 100 and 102 Staff recommends that these two lots only be allowed to
access Gateway Boulevard m a "rIght m - rIght out" manner Staff would oppose any smgle lot
havmg full access onto Gateway smce the drIveways m questIOn are located on the mSIde of the
curve on Gateway and sIght dIstance IS lImIted.
Traffic Signalization, Quantum Drive and Gateway Boulevard
Staffs reVIew of the traffic Impact at the mtersectIOn of Quantum DrIve and Gateway Boulevard
IS more complex. As part of the NOPC #11 submIttal, the traffic consultant, Pmdar Troutman,
opined that a traffic sIgnal IS warranted at thIS mtersectIon based on peak hour warrants, or
Warrant 11 from the Manual on Umform Traffic Control DeVIces. WIth respect to NOPC #12,
the consultant has changed the mtersectIOn lane-markmg configuratIon by elImmatmg one of two
through lanes, both northbound and southbound, and substItutmg dedIcated rIght turn lanes. ThIS
actIOn was logIcal because the assumptIOn was made that there would be very mInImal north or
southbound through movements at the mtersectIOn. UltImately, the crItIcal volume sum that was
utilIzed for level of servIce analysIs could be reduced. Thus the mtersectIOn theoretIcally will
have a hIgher traffic capacIty
However, whereas the crItIcal lane analYSIS provIdes mformatIon related to overall mtersectIOn
capacIty, It does not lend Itselfto warrant analYSIS for SIgnalIzatIOn. ThIS analYSIS IS based on
completely dIfferent CrIterIa establIshed m the Manual m UnIform Traffic Control DeVIces; the
same Manual utilIzed by the consultant in NOPC #11 submIttal. The consultant has shown no
changes m the traffic dIstributIOn. Thus, the warrant analYSIS conducted by Pmdar Troutman and
summarIzed m a report dated February 16, 2001 IS stIll valId. In fact, as lots 7 through 11 and
lots 23 through 31 develop as MIxed Use, they wIll most certamly generate addItIonal traffic that
EXHIBIT "G"
will use the mtersectIon of Quantum Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard. As such, the need for a
traffic SIgnal at thIS mtersectIOn WIll be even more pronounced.
Traffic Signalization, Quantum Drive and Congress Avenue
The traffic consultant dId not evaluate traffic condItIons at thIS mtersectIon as part of the
submIttal packet for NOPC #12. However, evaluatIOn of traffic condItIons at thIS mtersectIon IS
equally as cntIcal. Agam, as part ofthe NOPC #11 submIttal, Pmdar Troutman evaluated traffic
SIgnal warrant cntena at the mtersectIon of Quantum Dnve and Gateway Boulevard. In thIS
analYSIS, Pmdar Troutman found that a traffic SIgnal was not presently warranted at thIS
mtersectIOn based on the peak hour warrant and noted that "there are other Warrants, No 2-
InterruptIOn of Contmuous Traffic and No 10 - Peak Hour Delay that may be satIsfied. The
recommendatIOn IS that thIS mtersectIOn be momtored m the future. Appropnate tIme frames for
momtonng would be at the buildout of Lots 32 through 38 and at the buildout of the NOPC 11
reSIdentIal or non-resIdentIal land uses, whIchever occurs first." Staff would note that a large
portIOn oflots 32 through 38 IS now complete m the form of the PremIer buildmg.
Furthermore, as part ofPmdar Troutman's traffic analYSIS m February of2001, the consultant
assumed a buIld out of Lots 23 to 31 as office space (0) and Lots 7 to 11 as Office/IndustrIal
(0/1) However, the proposal IS to now change these land uses to MIxed Use (MU) The
developer contmues to be bound by a maXImum number of daily tnps from the entIre DRI, yet
subtle changes m land use can SIgnIficantly Impact peak hour traffic flows WIthout Impactmg the
daily trIp generatIon rate The consultant has not expressed an opImon on the changed traffic
charactenstIcs as related to traffic SIgnal warrant analYSIS based on the changes to mIxed use
It IS very likely that a SIgnal will be warranted as well at Quantum Boulevard and Gateway
Avenue upon build out of the proposed mIxed use land uses.
Recommendation
It IS very clear that traffic SIgnals are eIther currently warranted, or will be warranted m the
future, at both Gateway Boulevard and Congress Avenue These SIgnals WIll be necessary
entIrely because of development m Quantum Park. Thus, staff belIeves that the cost of
constructmg these SIgnals should be borne by future builders as well as by those tenants ofthe
mdustnal park that are presently generatmg traffic It would not be appropnate to have the CIty
of Boynton Beach pay for the traffic SIgnals when other capItal Improvements are eIther more
Important or have been delayed m pnor years awaItmg funding.
If the CIty does not obtam surety for the mstallatIon of a traffic SIgnal at thIS tIme, It will be
VIrtually Impossible to assess the reqUIrement for traffic SIgnal constructIOn to each mdIVIdual
that may purchase the mIxed use lots from Quantum and then subsequently develop them. The
burden of traffic SIgnal constructIon should fall upon the developer of the whole rather than the
mdIVIduals that choose to acqUIre and develop lots m the future Quantum could easily dIstribute
the cost equally to future buyers whereas the CIty could not. LikeWIse, Quantum has SIgnIficant
control over the property O\vners aSSOCIatIon and has the abilIty to ImtIate a speCIal assessment of
existmg propertIes for theIr share m the cost of traffic SIgnal constructIon.
Staff recommends that the developer and the eXIstmg occupants of Quantum Park be held
responsible for the cost of constructIOn of traffic actuated SIgnals at the mtersectIOns of Quantum
Boulevard WIth Gateway and Congress.

Subject. Quantum Park Development of RegIOnal Impact
Notification of Proposed Change
Dear Mr Rwnpf:
In accordance v.ith the reqwrements of Se~tion 380 06( 19), Flonda Statutes (F.S ), we have
reviewed the .'Notificatlon of a PropQsed Change to a PreVlously Approved Development of
Regional Impact (DRI)" (NOpe) tor the Quantum Park DRI dated August 8,2001
The NOpe proposes the following revisions to the master plan.
/
I
I) Lots 7, 8. 9, 10, and 11 land use designatlon is to be changed from office/industrial to
mIXed use, which allows office, commercIal, and residential uses,
2) Lots 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 30, and 31 land use designatlon is to be changed from
office to mIXed use, which allows office, conunerctal., and resldential uses;
3) Lot 34C which is currently undesigmued and part of the open space area 1S chang~d to
lIldustna1; and
4) Quantum Lakes Drive 15 proposed tor elimination from the intersection "Vith Quantum
Boulevard to the eastern mtersectioD WIth Gatewav Boulevard.
The applicant proposes to decrease office and mdustnal square footage to allow addltlOnal
commercial square footage and dwelling units. The proposed changes are presumed to create
a substantlal de....1ation pursuant to Section 38006(l9)(e)3 and 380 06(l9)(e)5 c, Florida
Statutes. Council has reviewed the mformatlOn and determined that t~ proposed changes
will not create any additional regtonal unpacts. COWlcil recognizes and appreCIates the
apptcant's efforts to create a good nux of land uses and provIde for a mOre sustamable torm

of development for a portlOn of the project. However, Council is concerned. with the
desIgnation of Lot 34C to industnal. This lot is adjat:ent to the sand pll1e scrub preserve, city
park and water retention area. The parcel was onginally propcsed for development but dunng
an amendment to the project to address requirements within the development order tlus area
was desIgnated for preservation and later part of the water retention area. Over time the
overall open space area of the project has decreased and designating Lot 34C would be an
additional reduction. Based on the location of the parcel and the further reductiqn in open
space for the project, Staff does not recouunend that th~ proposed change to mdustriaJ for Lot
34C proceed until. 1) the City' evaluates the need for open space on the p~oJect and
determines that the reduction in open space created by tius change is consistent with City
regulations; 2) it is demonstrated that development of this parcel will not interfere ~1th
management of the adjacent preserve area. and 3) it is demonstrated that development oftlus
site will not have a negative impact on the established drainage system

Based on our review, the Traffic Division has detenninec1 that the overall trafflc

previousl)' approved NOpe .10 (AprlI18. 2000) Therefor, th, proposed plan i$
epprovlld Ills however, suggested to the city or Boynton Beach
· ReQUire rrom the traffloconsultant a table comparing the project vested
trips (based on the most recent approval), versus trip generation of all
land us.s whIch have received development orders. to date. T"is
prlctlce needs to continue with any future submi$Sions.
The Intel"5ection of Quantum Boulevard/Gatew8)1 Boulevard Is
forecasted to operate within .unacceptable" conditions. under Year

Quantum Park Development of Regional Impact (DRI)
City of Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County
Notification of Proposed Change (NOPq
As requested in the letter from Mr James Snyder of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
dated August 8, 200 I, the Department has reviewed the Quantum Park Development Qf Regional
Impact (DR!) Notification of Proposed Change (NOPC). '
The Quantum Park DR! was onginally approved on December 18, 1984 as a :mixed-use
development. 'Through amendments the development order now approves the following land uses.
cormnercial, industrial, government/institutIonal, office, recreation and hotel. 1
!
I
Tn this NOpe (#12), the applicant proposes revisions to the DRY Master Plan to create a:mixed-use
development that includes office, commercial, and residential uses. The appl1cant has p~oposed the
following changes to the Master Plan.
. ModifyIng Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 from Office/Industrial to Mixed Use, which includes
office, conunercial, and residential uses. This change decreases the Industrial Larid Use from
I
2,275,354 square feet to 1,900,000 square feet. "
. ModifyIng Lots 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 from Office/lndustrial to Mixed Use,
which includes office, commercial, and residential uses. This change decrease~ the Office
Land Use from 798,772 square feet to 725,850 square feet.
. The combination of these chapges results in an increase In Residential Land Use from 500
dwelling units to 1,000 dwelling units.

The reconfiguration of Quantum Lakes Dnve by closing the segment from: Quantum
Boulevard to Gateway Boulevard resulting In additional developable land to be ~ubdivided
into Lots 100 and 101 The new lots are to be desIgnated Mixed Use, which incl~des office,
commercial, and resldentlal uses. !
The Department offers the foUowmg comments
The change in rcsIdentta1 development from 500 to 1,000 homes that was included in the
substantial deviation determination chart was not described in the request for th~ NOPC.
The reconfiguration of Quantum Lakes Drive results in redistributed traffic volJrnes to the
Intersection of Quantmn Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard. The intersection arlalysis that
was provided with the NOPC indicates that the increased volumes will cause the ihtersection
to fail unless the northbound and southbound approaches are re-striped from a sm~e left.tum
lane with dual through lanes to a single left-turn, a single through lane, and a smg1~ righHum
lane. After the re-striping, the intersection operates below the critical volume level. The
applicant should speClfy the party responsible for the re$ping improvementjto current
acceptable standards and Incorporate the improvement as ConditIon in the I Amended
Development Order pnor to the closure of Quantum Lakes Dnve. I
.
.
Please indIcate how Parcel MU61 will be accessed with the reconfigurationAc1osure of
Quantum Lakes Drive.
In summary, the Quantum Park DR! NOPC prOVIded to the Department is sufficient p~ding the
inclusion of the above comments Into the NOPC and Amended Development Order. Please feel free
