I. THE POPULATION GROWTH Compared to the previous two decades, the Boynton Beach population growth rate decreased considerably throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. Nevertheless, it maintained
a fairly high 2.7% annually rate until the year 2000. During the last five years (2000-2005), the growth rate for the city slowed even more to an average annual rate of 1.67%. This deceleration
reflects the fact that the city is nearing buildout. 0.00% 1.00% 2.00% 3.00% 4.00% 5.00% 6.00% 7.00%Average Annual Growth Rates, 1960-2005 Boynton Beach 5.64% 7.00% 2.65% 2.70% 1.67%

of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research estimates for 2001-2005 Soaring housing demand in recent years brought about a very active redevelopment market. As of April 2006,
some 6,717 residential units are approved or under 1
construction, and another 1,384 may be approved shortly. The construction has slowed down considerably in response to a recent market downturn, but by 2010 Boynton Beach may have about
8,000 new residents. The future growth may further be affected by possible annexations. The reevaluation of redevelopment activities, particularly in areas with proposed higher densities,
has repeatedly resulted in the upward adjustment of the projected growth rates, as illustrated below. Boynton Beach Population Projections 60,000 65,000 70,000 75,000 80,000 85,000 90,000

projections underwent upward revision for the Palm Beach County as a whole. The 2004 forecast projected county population growth for the 2000-2015 period at approximately 32%; the 2006
revision increased the anticipated growth to about 38%. Where does the area growth come from? The Census Bureau published 2000-2003 data on the components of population change for the
counties. Table 1 presents a comparison between the three South Florida counties. Of the three, Palm Beach County had the highest population increase, and almost all of it came from
migration (see subsequent sections of this report for more information on migration). The natural population increase was negligible. 2

The city has become slightly more racially and ethnically diverse since 1990. Although the city’s 2005 population remained predominantly white, the decline of the relative share of whites
in the total population was noteworthy. The numbers in the chart and in Table 2 below must be viewed as approximations. 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 1990 2005 Population of Boynton Beach:

Note: “Two or more races category” excluded from 2005 data (since not present in 1990 questionnaire) Direct comparisons between the 1990 Census figures and 2005 Claritas estimates (based
on the Census 2000 figures) are difficult since, for the first time, the Census 2000 allowed respondents to claim more than one race. Some 1,571 persons or 2.6% of the population declared
more than one race. It is unknown which race these respondents had declared in 1990. 1 See sector’s map in Appendix A 3

45.0% 29.3% 47.4% Source: US Census, 1990 and 2000; Claritas Inc. estimates for 2005 Overall, between 1990-2000: • White population grew about 18%, but the percentage of whites in the
total population fell from 77.7% to 70.4%. • Black/African American population grew at a faster pace than the population as a whole: its share increased by 2.8%. • There has been an
increase in number of persons of other races residing in the city; however, their total share remains insignificant. • Hispanic population (of all races) increased by 2440 persons; its
share in the total population went up from 6.8% in 1990 to 9.2% in 2000. The Census 2000 substantiated the anecdotal evidence of the ongoing migration of Hispanic population from Miami-Dade
to northern counties. Both Broward and Palm Beach counties experienced a large influx of Hispanics. Palm Beach County more than doubled its Hispanic population; some 74 thousand persons
of Hispanic or Latino origin moved to county between 1990 and 2000. The 2005 estimates suggest that: • The share of the White population continues to shrink as the share of the Black/African
American population continues to grow. While the latter group constituted about one fifth of the total city population in 1990, it increased its share to approximately one fourth of
the population in 2005. • Over the 2000-2005 period, the Hispanic population’s annual growth rate was a high of 8.1%, an increase from 5.9 % during the decade of 1990-2000. Hispanics’
share in the city’s population is now about 12.5%. 4

Inc. 2. Median Age and Age Distribution The median age for the city’s population decreased slightly from 42.5 in 1990 to 41.8 in 2000. The 2005 estimate suggests that it may have rebounded
somewhat, to 42.2. As Table 3 on the following page indicates: • The share of the prime working-age population groups, including those between 25 and 54 years of age, continues to increase.
It now constitutes about 39% of the city’s population. • The share of persons over 65 in the total population is falling, but there was a significant growth in the “over 85” group which
increased from 3.1% of the population in 1990 to 4.7% in 2000 and to 5.5 % in 2005. • The growth within the “Under 18” group has exceeded the total population growth rate, but its share
within the total population has not changed significantly. It is uncertain how the demographic profile of buyers of the new residential projects coming to the city will affect the median
age and the age distribution of Boynton within the next several years. The Claritas projection puts the city’s 2008 median age at 43.0. 5

in the city over the past decade are noteworthy since they reflect ongoing national trends. The most pronounced change is the shrinking share of a married-couple family in total number
of households, from 51.1% to 45%. Moreover: • The share of nonfamily households rose from 36% to 41.2%, while their numbers increased by 44%, compared to a 29.2% overall increase of
households. • The number of one-person households also rose faster than the number of total households: their share increased by 3%. 6

level of the Boynton Beach population improved. As shown by the charts on the following page, the overall percentage of population of 25 years of age and over with associate or higher
degree increased by over 6%. Some 51% of the city’s population age 25 or older now has at least some education above high school, up from 42% in 1990. The 2000 Census data showed the
educational attainment of the Boynton Beach population lagging behind that of three other largest municipalities of the Palm Beach County and the county as a whole. Boca Raton led with
a major higher educational institution within its borders, but the disparity in comparison of Boynton Beach with both Delray Beach and West Palm Beach was also significant. No data is
available to fully update the comparison. TABLE 6. Educational attainment, population 25 years and over, Census 2000 Educational Attainment Palm Beach County Boca Raton Boynton Beach

5. Population Mobility and Foreign-Born Residents This section’s data could not be updated, but the anecdotal evidence suggests a continuation of trends captured by the Census 2000.
The 2005 estimates from American Community Survey, now for the first time available for Boynton Beach, come from a small sample with large error margins and are often presented differently;
however, they are quoted throughout the text as appropriate. The 2000 data in Table 7 demonstrates a high mobility of the Boynton Beach population, a characteristic generally shared
with population of the county, the state of Florida, and also with the nation as a whole. Roughly half of the population changes residence within a period of five years. The comparison
of the city’s respective statistics for 1990 and 2000 shows that: • Of the new residents of Boynton Beach who changed their homes within the 1995-2000 period, significantly more previously
resided within the Palm Beach county (possibly also in Boynton Beach) or moved to Boynton Beach from other counties in Florida. This holds true for both the absolute and relative numbers.
• The 2000 data also shows that, in relative terms, significantly fewer people moved to Boynton Beach from other states within the U.S. during 1995-2000 than during 1985-1990. • During
the 1995-2000 period some 2,109 people moved to Boynton Beach from a foreign country, as compared to 1,208 people who arrived between 1985 and 1990. Although this category would also
include American citizens coming back after a period of living abroad, most people are likely to be foreign nationals. TABLE 7. Population mobility changes, population 5 years and over

The following section (tables 8 and 9) looks more closely at foreign-born population in the city. Table 8 illustrates two strong trends: • First, of the total 10,408 foreign-born residents
of the city, 4,389 moved to Boynton Beach during the last decade as compared to 2,631 who arrived a decade earlier, between 1980 and 1990. • Second, the proportion of foreign-born immigrants
who arrived during the 1990-2000 period and were not naturalized citizens increased dramatically as compared to those who were naturalized citizens. The percentage of the naturalized
citizens among the foreign-born is an approximate measure of assimilation. Increasing numbers of non-assimilated new residents of the city, who are more likely not to speak fluent English,
will have to be accommodated by the educational and social service systems. TABLE 8. Foreign-born population: Palm Beach County and its four largest cities. Palm Beach County Boynton

Survey 2005 estimate is 21%. Some 30% of the foreign-born residents are naturalized U.S. citizens, and 14% moved to the city in 2000 or later (see full data in Appendix B; again, again,
note high margin of error). The data confirms that the diversification of the city population is an ongoing trend. 9

Census 1990 and 2000, sample data. Note: The 2003 American Community Survey shows 13% of total population to speak English “less than very well”, as opposed to 8% in 2000. Generally:
• In comparison with Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County has a higher percentage of people who speak English less than “very well” in all three age groups. It is particularly high, nearly
17%, among people aged 18-64. In Boynton Beach, this age group also has the highest percentage of people with poor command of English, approximately 12%, up from 10% in 1990. Language
proficiency is particularly important for people of working age. • The percentage of both children 5-17 years of age and older adults 65 years and older who speak English less than “very
well” fell between 1990 and 2000. The decrease was from 8.8% to 7.7% within the 5 to 17 group and from 4.4% to 3.7% within the 65 and over group. At the same time, percentage of children
who speak only English decreased: some 28% speak at least one other language, compared to 21% in 1990. As reported in the Racial and Ethnic Characteristic section, over the decade of
1990-2000 the the number of Hispanics in Boynton Beach increased by 2,440 persons, with the Hispanic population up from 6.8% of the total population in 1990 to 9.2% in 2000 and to an
estimated 12.5% in 2005. The Ancestry tables released in 2000 by Census revealed that another group has grown significantly in Boynton Beach: West Indian immigrants. 10
• Among all ancestries reported within the city, the West Indian group was recorded 5,221 times, with 5,151 persons reporting it as the first ancestry. This is an over 150% increase
over the 1990 Census numbers, with 2,064 of total West Indian ancestries and 2,025 persons reporting West Indian as the first ancestry. • Of the 5,221 total West Indian ancestries, a
vast majority, or 4,040 were Haitians (the next most numerous group were Jamaicans, at 833). Some 4,009 people reported “Haitian” as the first ancestry. Unfortunately, no separate statistics
for Haitians were reported in 1990 Census, but the 2000 Census confirmed anecdotal evidence of their increasing numbers into the city. They now comprise about 6.6% of the population,
but since there is likely to be an undercount of immigrants without a legal status, the true numbers are almost certainly higher. The American Community Survey shows a 2000-2005 increase
of nearly 2% of West Indian population’s share in the total population of Palm Beach County. The The ACS number for West Indian population in Boynton Beach is 11,187; it would indicate
that this population doubled in size; however, the corresponding margin of error is too large to draw such a conclusion. The maps on the following pages illustrate which areas (census
tracts) in the city attracted most foreign-born immigrants and, specifically, where the Haitian immigrants settled. For comparison, there is also a map (after page 4) depicting the distribution
of the Hispanic population. The data on Hispanic population has been updated; unfortunately, no city-level updated figures are available for Haitian immigrants (or for the foreign-born
group). Not all residents of Haitian ancestry or those of Hispanic or Latino origin are foreignborn, but since they constitute a large percentage of the foreign-born population, the
three maps display a high correlation, with both East sectors of the city showing a higher concentration of foreign-born, Haitian and Hispanic populations than the West sectors. TABLE

• In terms of percentage, tract 62.01 has the highest percentage of foreign-born population, 27%. This is also a tract with a high concentration of the Haitian population; Haitians constitute
nearly one fifth of the tract’s population. • Tracts 60.7 and 57.02 also have relatively large Haitian populations, constituting approximately 19% and 13% of the total population, respectively.
About 42% of the city’s Haitian population resides within these three tracts. The 2005 estimates for Hispanic residents show that the most significant changes (relative to sectors’ total
populations) occurred in the Northwest and Southeast sectors. Table 11: Hispanic population changes by sector, 2000-2005 Sector Hispanic Population as % of Total Population, 2000 Hispanic

Income Characteristics This section of the report looks at the 2005 estimates of the household income. There are no updates available for the 2000 comparative statistics presented in
Table 12; however, given the income trends in the past few years, the comparison retains enough validity to be of interest. The 2005 estimates by Claritas, Inc. update some of the income
information for the city. The map on the following page presents 2005 estimates of Effective Buying Income (EBI), which reflects the purchasing power of the city’s population. A regional

Generally, in 2000: • Boynton Beach had a slightly higher percentage of households in which at least one member collects Social Security income than the county as a whole, and the second
highest percentage of such households among the four largest municipalities. • For households with earnings, Boynton Beach had the lowest mean earnings per household. This figure could
reflect the high percentage of semi-retired households in which one or more members hold a part-time job. As compared to 1990 Census figures, the median 2000 household income for Boynton
Beach remained at about the same relative level (88%) of the median household income for Palm Beach County as a whole. The 2005 Claritas median household income estimate for the city
is $44,084. A look at the city and the four sectors: household income distribution TABLE 13. Household income in 2005, by sector Sectors Number of Households % w/Income < $25K % w/Income

22.5% $ 44,084 Source: Claritas 2005 estimates *Sample-based totals differ slightly from numbers based on full counts High prices of new residential developments are attracting affluent
households to the city, a trend which will affect the city’s income distribution in the coming years. In particular, a brisk pace of redevelopment in the neighborhoods east of Interstate
95 will exert an upward pressure on the median household income in both eastern sectors. The following section summarizes the basic socio-economic characteristics of the population residing
within each of the four sectors. Statistics for foreign-born residents, Haitian population and sources of household income come from the 2000 Census; the remaining figures (2005 updates)
are provided by Claritas. Please note that the following sector by sector analysis discusses median household income, and should not be confused with the previous map’s demonstration
of effective buying income, which illustrates household purchasing power (income after taxes). 13
NORTHEAST SECTOR: • The Northeast sector has the youngest population of all sectors (median age 33.7), with the highest average household size of 2.64. • Approximately 65% of population
is non-white, mostly African American. Some 18.8% of the residents are foreign-born; the sector has the highest share of persons of Hispanic/Latino origin and the second highest percentage
of Haitian population. Tract 57.02 has a high concentration of both Hispanic and Haitian population (13% and 13.5% of the tract’s population, respectively). • The population has the
second lowest median household income of all sectors ($35,447) with about 35.7% of households with income below $25,000, and only 15.2% of households with income of $75,000 or more.
• Since a high percentage of population consists of persons aged 18-65, there is a high ratio of households with wage or salary income: 71.5% as opposed to 65.6% for the city as a whole.
Relatively few households derive their income from selfemployment or have investment income such such as interest, dividends or rental income (both ratios are the lowest of all sectors).
SOUTHEAST SECTOR • The Southeast sector has the second highest median household income of $40,770; 27.5% of households have annual incomes of less than $25,000. The sector also contains
one of the most affluent tracts in the city, tract 54.03, but it is very small and contains only 78 households. The sector has the second largest percentage (27.4%) of retired persons
and the highest ratio of one-person households (39.5%). Median age is about 45.2 years. • Consistent with its age profile, the sector has a high share of households collecting Social
Security (44%) and other retirement income (such as pensions etc). • The population is 68.74% white; there is a high concentration of Haitian population in tracts 62.01 (about 20% of
total) and 63.00 (about 9%); both tracts include Hispanic communities as well, especially tract 62.01, where Hispanics constitute about 15% of the population. The Southeast sector has
a highest share of foreign-born persons: 22.3% of the population (the city as a whole has 17.2%). NORTHWEST SECTOR • The Northwest sector’s median income ranks as the highest, at $50,713.
The sector contains the lowest incidence of households with income below $25,000, as well as the greatest number of households with income surpassing $75,000 annually. It also has the
second youngest population (median age 38.9) which derives its income mostly from employment. Persons aged 65 and older constitute only about 17% of the sector’s residents, so relatively
few households have Social Security or other retirement income. 14
• The Northwest is the sector of young families: it has the highest percentage of married couples with children under 18 (18.7%, as compared with 14.1% for the city as a whole). • The
sector’s residents are predominantly white (20.8% of the population is nonwhite while the city’s share of non-white persons is 33.2%). There is a significant number of both Hispanics
and Haitians residing in tract 58.09. In absolute terms, this tract has the largest concentration of Hispanic population in the city (1308 persons, about 15.7% of the tract’s residents).
Although the sector as a whole has the lowest percentage of foreign-born persons, its foreign-born population of about 16,500 persons is in fact the largest. SOUTHWEST SECTOR • The Southwest
sector has by far the oldest population within the city. Its median age is about 61.6 as compared to 45.2 for the Southeast sector, but people aged 65 and over constitute a high 46.9%
of the population, while in the Southeast sector their share of all residents is only about 18.9%. • In terms of income, the sector contains tract 60.08 with the highest median household
income in the city; the remaining tracts have median incomes between $36 and $65 thousand. The median income for the sector as a whole is approximately $45,930. • Only about 49.7% of
all households have wage or salary income; some 56% have Social Security and 43% have other retirement income. There is also a high ratio of households collecting interest, dividends
or rental income. • The Southwest sector has a smallest percentage (17.4%) of non-white persons. Its Hispanic and Haitian populations are concentrated in tracts 60.07 and 60.02. 15

This 2005 update of the residential section of the report uses Census 2000-based estimates provided by Claritas, Inc. The estimates are available only for selected city data and have
been added to the existing tables accordingly. The lack of more recent statistics for other municipalities did not allow for the update of the Census 2000 comparison presentations. Despite
this problem, the comparisons remain useful since they place the city in the regional context. I. CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSING STOCK 1. The Existing Housing A . Changes in types of housing

years was the conversion of existing apartment projects to condominiums. Over the last 30 months, six apartment projects, a total of 1,210 units, completed the conversion -Tuscany on
Intracoastal, Villa Del Sol (presently called Mirabella), Belmont, Boynton Landings, Casablanca and Meadows on the Green. After a significant increase between 1990 and 2000, the share
of all renter-occupied dwellings fell from 27.2% in 2000 to 24.6% in 2005. The share of rental apartments in the total stock is now 16%, down from 18% in 2003. However, the trend is
not likely to continue given the downturn of the forsale residential market. The conversion of older rental projects has been yet another negative factor contributing to the shortage
of affordable housing in the city. Any new rental units will command much higher rents. The second significant trend in Boynton residential market has been a large number of townhome
developments, arriving not only to urban redevelopment areas east of Interstate 95, but also west of it, to to projects in Quantum PID and those along Congress Avenue. The product’s
popularity reflects both changing character of the city and a dwindling number of vacant residential parcels. B. Age of housing stock 19 8 0 to 19 8 9 2 5% 19 9 0 to 19 9 4 8% 19 9 5

family (detached) units and 5,4161 multifamily units. As the chart shows, the number of permits for single family detached units has generally been declining since 1997. 0 200 400 600

Department, City of Boynton Beach Note: Single-family permits include detached units only. Attached single family housing such as townhomes and villas are included in multifamily permits.
The limited amount of vacant residential land and future redevelopment scenarios with increased densities encourage multifamily housing. As discussed in the previous section, 18
it includes townhomes (see map of 2005 approvals) as well as multistory condominiums, which continued to crowd out apartments. However, the full impact of the ongoing downturn in the
housing market on the particular market segments is not yet known. Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research’s quarterly Palm Beach housing report shows a 6.2% vacancy rate in August of 2006,
up sharply from a 3.4% rate found in August 2005 (Boynton’s area vacancy rate is higher at 6.5%). Wolf reports that at the end of June, 2006 there were only 234 new, never before occupied
rental units available in apartment projects still in the lease-up stage in Palm Beach County. There is an estimated countywide annual demand for an additional 5,656 rental apartments.
This situation caused a sharp increases in rents which in turn is believed to account for the upward trend in the vacancy rate. Total county-wide housing starts in 2006 are forecast
by Wolf’s at 10,675 units, down 24.8% from the total for 2005. Single family starts are forecast to decline by 34.0% and multi-family by 5.9% in 2006. B. Residential approvals 2005 The
map on the following page shows that, in 2005, a total of 2,785 townhomes/condos and 196 single family units were approved as part of planned developments. II. TRENDS IN HOUSING VALUES
The OFHEO (Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight) data for 2005 and the first two quarters in 2006 indicates that the Palm Beach county single family home values continued to
grow at the substantial rate. Its House Price Index database for the second quarter of 2006 shows that the county’s (or West Palm Beach-Boca Raton -Boynton Beach metropolitan division’s)
prices were up 20.57% over one year period. For this period, the division ranked 22 among 275 metropolitan areas and divisions. It ranked 4th for five year period, having appreciated
138.39%. However, the sales data published by the Florida Association of Realtors indicates that by September 2006, the county's year-over-year median price dropped $34,500 or 9 percent,
to $365,500 (from $400,000 in September 2005). Even though the methodologies of the two calculations differ, it is clear that by the 3rd quarter of 2006 the market downturn had a significant
impact on the county’s housing prices. 1. A Look at Housing Values in City and its Sectors: Census 2000 and 2005 updates. The 2005 updates of the Census 2000 median value for all city’s
owner-occupied units (based on owners’ valuation – so called “price asked”) vary from a Claritas-derived estimate, at $155,429, to the American Community Survey estimate, at $215,300.
Both figures, but especially Claritas’ one, are lower than the median price of $225,000 for 2005 residential sales (see section 3), but the estimates cover all residential properties,
including over 10,000 units of mostly older, lower-value condominium stock. 19

For general comparison, the American Community Survey data is used vis-a-vis Census 2000 data for the city as a whole (see Table 3); the Claritas-derived distribution, available at the
Census-track level, is used for sectoral comparisons in Table 4. Even though the median 2005 Claritas value is probably underestimated, nonetheless it is interesting to see relative
changes in value distribution by sector as presented by Table 4. Table 3 shows a sharp decline of the share of units valued below $100,000. Moreover, the information provided by real
estate agents indicates that high demand for affordable units continues to dramatically inflate the prices of units valued below $100,000. TABLE 3. Citywide Distribution of Value of

differ significantly; therefore individual numbers should be interpreted with caution. In the last decade, downtown redevelopment in Boynton Beach lagged behind other municipalities
located north and and south of the city. Housing values of existing units in the eastern sectors are still lower than those in the western sectors (see also sales data in section 3).
In 2005, developers’ interest in the city’s downtown and surrounding neighborhoods remained high, and the residential appreciation in the eastern sectors picked up. However, the abrupt
change in the residential market has slowed down development activities, and price adjustments are expected. Several projects are delayed. 20

19.5% Source: Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office The taxable value of residential properties stays well below their market value. The chief factor, beyond the homestead exemption,
is the Florida law stipulating that all residences with a homestead exemption are limited to a 3% per year cap on assessment increases. In the last few years, economic conditions in
Florida favored residential versus commercial development. The numbers for the last three years certainly reflect investors' choices: between 2002 and 2005 the taxable value of residential
real estate jumped 58%, pushing the share of the residential taxable value in the total taxable value to 73%. TRENDS IN TAXABLE VALUE OF REAL PROPERTY -500,000,000 1,000,000,000 1,500,000,000

Residential construction in 2005 was up sharply after falling the previous year to its lowest level since 2000 (note the recession-related low levels of permit activity in 2002 and 2003,
p.12). The 2004 number of residential building permits was the highest in a decade. Construction value is likely to remain relatively high in 2006, until the current residential market
slump is reflected in the slowing growth of the city’s tax base. TABLE 6. Assessed Value of New Residential Construction, 2002-2005 Total value of new construction, 2002: $96,039,912

SalefisRealty, Inc., City of Boynton Beach Note: Sales datincludes only existing properties listed in MLS (no by-owner transactions or of new units) Sales data for existing single family
homes confirms that an upward trend in prices in all four sectors of the city continued in 2005. Between 2004 and 2005, the median price for single family homes soared on average 29%,
from 22% in the Southwest sector to nearly 36% in the Northwest sector. Table 8 on the following page shows that, over the last five years, the eastern sectors registered higher price
increases that the western ones. The sector with the highest 5-year median price increase was Northeast at 177%. The sector still has, at $162,000, the lowest median price in the city.
The 2005 condominium prices remained below $200,000; the townhome prices likewise stayed in the relatively affordable range with the exception of the Northeast, where few new townhome
units were resold. This weighed heavily in the small number of transactions and resulting in the high median price of $401,500. The median city-wide price of a single family home in
2005 was $269,000, approximately 35% higher than in 2004. The median prices for townhomes and condominiums were 37% higher ($223,500) and 44% higher ($162,500), respectively. A September
2005 Palm Beach Post housing market study based on the appraiser’s database of all qualified1 sales for Boynton Beach (excluding mobile homes) showed the median price of $185,000 for
single family homes and $180,000 for townhomes and condominiums. The sales data for the third quarter of 2006 shows a median price for single-family at $285,000, for townhomes at$248,000
and for condominiums, at$167,500. It needs to be stressed that the data in this section includes properties from age-restricted developments; all such development in the city are older
and carry lower prices. 1 Sales involving parties that are unrelated and have no common interest that may affect the price. 23

III. VACANT RESIDENTIAL LAND While over 311 small scattered vacant residential lots exist throughout the city (a total of 63 acres), this section looks at the few remaining parcels of
2 or more acres. There are four such parcels, as listed in Table 9. These properties may not be currently on the market, but could be developed with residential uses in the future. All
have been assessed for their residential development potential in terms of the number of allowable units based, generally, on their current land use designations and zonings. Any additional
sites would be dependent on land use amendments and rezonings, or would require either redevelopment or infill projects or a combination of the two. TABLE 9. Vacant Parcels with Residential

(LDR). • Property (2) is an undeveloped parcel in the Palmland Villas development. The vacant 3.7-acre site could be developed utilizing the remaining unused density from the 60-unit
development. • Property (3) is an undeveloped parcel south of Boynton Beach Boulevard and west of SW 8th Street. The property, designated Moderate Density Residential (MoDR), was originally
earmarked for recreation development. Depending on the recreational needs of the area being satisfied by existing parks, it could be developed as a residential property. • In the same
general area of the City, the FPL parcel (4) is adjacent to Old Boynton Road, north of Boynton Beach Boulevard and is designated Low Density Residential (LDR). 25

As the City’s supply of vacant land designated for residential development has dwindled, the City has witnessed two trends: 1) the conversion of vacant land designated for other uses
to residential use; 2) the redevelopment of previously developed property that may also include a conversion in use or an increase in residential density and 3) the annexation of property,
either developed or undeveloped, for residential development. The first trend, converting vacant land designated for other uses to residential use was first seen when the development
order for Quantum Park DRI, which had been designated for industrial development and related uses, was amended to ultimately include 1,905 residential units. Approvals have been granted
to develop 548 rental apartments and 426 townhouses in the park. Two other conversions of land designated for industrial development to residential uses are the Monterey Bay, approved
for 300 townhomes, and Carriage Pointe, approved for 172 townhomes. Lastly, within the former Motorola DRI, a total of 1,676 of residential units are currently under construction as
a part of a mixed-use Renaissance Commons' development. Approvals of residential projects or mixed use projects with residential component in the area east of I-95 and in the Federal
Highway Corridor have generally occurred either on properties previously designated for commercial development or involved the conversion of already developed commercial property to
residential-and mixed use. Three projects were annexed to the city and approved for residential use in 2005: townhome development of Boynton Dixie, townhome/single family development
of High Ridge and a single-family home project of Knollwood Goves (see the map of residential projects approved in 2005). 26

I. LOCATION ADVANTAGES Boynton Beach, the third largest city in Palm Beach County, has a number of location advantages which contribute significantly to its overall economic potential.
• The city is located approximately 45 miles north of Miami and 15 miles south of West Palm Beach. This puts it in the heart of southeast Florida’s rapidly growing tri-county Dade/Broward/Palm
Beach metropolitan areas. • The city has direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and both Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike. It also has a market of over 6.5 million people within
a 100 mile radius of the city and ready access to three international airports, three major seaports, two major rail lines as well as the Tri-Rail commuter rail system. Palm Beach County
has consistently been recognized as one of the leading metropolitan areas in the US in terms of job growth, economic opportunities and entrepreneurship. For example, it ranked 4th in
the top ten best performing cities and metropolitan areas in the Milken Institute’s “Best Performing Cities: Where America’s Jobs are Created and Sustained” reports in 2003 and 2004,
and 12th in job growth between March 2001 and November 2004 in the study of 318 metropolitan areas presented at The US Conference of Mayors in January 2005. Palm Beach County is also
one of the nation’s wealthiest counties. According to the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis 2003 data, in terms of per capita personal income the county ranked
1st among Florida’s 105 counties and 38th among the 3111 counties in the United States. II. REAL PROPERTY TAX BASE 1. A Regional Picture TABLE 1. Taxable Real Property Value by Use,

The real property tax base by use and tax base per capita provide a quick evaluation of the relative wealth of the community and its character. Table 1 and the accompanying chart compare
the taxable value of the Boynton Beach real property with that of the Palm Beach County and the three other largest county’s municipalities – West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Delray Beach.
The data indicates that: • The taxable value per capita of Boynton Beach’s real property remains the lowest of the four largest municipalities of the county, only about 62% of the figure
for the county as a whole. It continues to be lower than the taxable value per capita for Delray Beach, a municipality with a comparable population; over the past 3 years, this gap increased:
in 2005, Boynton’s taxable value per capita was 63% that of Delray’s, down from 66% in 2002. Palm Beach County Boynton Beach Delray Beach Boca Raton West Palm Beach 0% 10% 20% 30% 40%
50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 2005 TAXABLE VALUE BY PROPERTY USE: PALM BEACH COUNTY AND SELECTED MUNICIPALITIES Residential Commercial Industrial Other • Boynton Beach still has by far the
highest share of industrial properties in its total taxable value, 6.3%, although it declined from 7.5% in 2004. • As compared with 2004, the City’s share of residential value increased
by about 1%; the County’s share declined slightly. 28
2. The City’s Real Property Tax Base A. Trends in Taxable Value Even though the impact of the recent real estate boom on the growth of the taxable value is tempered by the Florida assessment
cap on homesteaded residential properties, Table 2 confirms an impressive gain in the average annual growth of real property taxable value of the city during the last several years.
Comparison of the average annual growth over the 1993-2002 period versus the 2002-2005 period shows sharp growth increases in all real property sectors, with residential values growing
at a highest average rate of nearly 17%. The 2002/2005 average annual change of industrial property value, although still high compared to 1992/2002 number, lagged significantly behind
residential and industrial. Table 2. Changes in Real Property’s Taxable Value, 1993-2005 1993 2002 2004 Average Annual Change 1993/2002 Average Annual Change 2002/2004 TOTAL TAXABLE

that the recent dynamic growth of new residential developments occurred as a result of a number of the land use amendments, converting industrially-and commercially designated land to
residential uses. Such land use decisions have fiscal impacts. A growing residential population within the city will continue to create demand for new and better services. Nationally,
studies have shown that residential uses often have a net negative fiscal impact on municipal budgets, even though the property tax per acre may be higher for residential uses than commercial
and industrial uses. This means that the revenues brought by residential uses tend to be lower than the incurred expenditures in terms of municipal services. B. The Property Tax Distribution
Distribution There are 29,707 properties listed on Boynton Beach 2005 tax roll. A significant number of them either pay no taxes or pay very little. Out of the properties paying zero
taxes, slightly more than one fourth have a tax-exempt status (properties with a non-profit status, publicly-owned properties and others). Some 9% of all properties paid one penny to
two hundred dollars in property taxes in 2005, down from 12% in 2004 (and 24% in 1999). 29

Source: Property Appraiser’s Office, 2005; Note: Single family homes include zero-lot line properties. • Of all 9,225 condominiums within the city, 8% do not pay any property taxes.
The median tax for condo properties is $509, reflecting the fact that the majority of city’s condominium stock consists of older buildings, lacking in contemporary amenities. It is,
however, 51% higher than the last year. Moreover, percentage of units with a tax bill exceeding $1000 increased from 14% in 2004 to 21% in 2005. • The median property tax for single
family home is $651, only 16% higher than in 2004. C. Principal Taxpayers TABLE 4. Ten Principal Taxpayers, 2005 Taxes % of TAXPAYER Type of Business ($) Total Taxes 1. Boynton JCP Assoc.

III. NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS 1. Commercial Markets Overview To give the context for the review of new commercial approvals for the city, Table 5 offers a comparative look at commercial
submarkets, which cover four of the largest Palm Beach County municipalities. As shown, Boynton Beach submarket’s share of the county’s retail market is 12.0%, of the county industrial
market – 9.7%, and of the county office market, only 1.8%. Reports from commercial real estate firms (CB Richard Ellis, TrammellCrow and others) continue to paint a favorable outlook
for the Palm Beach County commercial markets. The county and the surrounding areas feature a strong economy with exceptionally strong job growth (13,000 jobs were added in 2005). Moreover,
regionwide momentum is building with the upcoming Scripps Institute. As land becomes more scarce, developers, following the residential markets, will have to redevelop underperforming
properties with a higher use. Skyrocketing insurance costs, rising construction costs and land availability are main concerns. Favorable outlook for Retail Market is driven by steady
residential growth. Vacancy rates continued to decline, and rental rates increased compared with the same period of last year. By the second quarter of 2006, retail square footage under
construction in Boynton Beach/Lantana market constituted about 50% of the total square footage under construction within the county. Vacancy rate for this market declined from 4.8% to
4.5%. Average asking lease rate remains much lower than the county’s average, $16.99 versus $21.54. TABLE 5. Selected Submarkets of the Palm Beach County Commercial Markets, Second Quarter

Boynton/Lantana market has three large retail centers under construction, all of them within Boynton Beach: ?? Quantum Village, a 92,000 sq ft Publix-anchored project with 47,000 sq
ft of small shop space, with rental rates $28-$32 psf; ?? Boynton Town Center, a 400,000 mixed use project; 70% leased as of the second quarter of 2006, with rental rates $32-$40 psf;
and ?? Renaissance Commons, mixed use project with 184,388 retail space; rental rates are $38 psf. The Palm Beach County Office Market continues to demonstrate high demand, with vacancies
at their lowest level in the past 5 years ( the lowest in the tri-county area) and rising rents. Boynton Beach office market constitutes a mere 1.8% of the county market; of 348,063
square feet of office, only 30,000 square feet is Class A space. The overall vacancy rate is 6.9%, down from 11.8% at the same time last year. Extremely low vacancies in the county’s
Industrial Market – one of the lowest within the US -are due part to the lack of land and low availability of existing product. The demand for all industrial products continues to grow.
As service-driven small businesses expand in response to the population growth, demand for small bay industrial space continues to grow. The biggest factor in the market’s outlook is
the arrival of the Scripp`s Institute, expected to cause a surge in demand for R&D space. As shown in Table 5, Boynton’s vacancy rate dropped from the already low 2.7% in the second
quarter of 2005 to 1.4% a year later. 2. Commercial and Industrial Approvals in 2005 As the chart on the following page demonstrates, the 2005 volume of commercial approvals reached
its highest level since 2000. Some 73% of it is retail, driven by high level of residential construction. Most of the approved retail square footage is located in Boynton Village and
Town Center projects. As of the second quarter of 2006, the retail square footage under construction in the Boynton Beach/Lantana submarket constituted over 49% of that in the county
as a whole, while the Boynton submarket’s share of the total inventory is only about 12%. The level of approved office square footage is comparable to that of 2004; Boynton remains a
marginal office market. The largest approved office project is the Children Services Council’s. After four very active years, industrial approvals fell sharply in 2004 and were only
slightly higher in 2005. As in 2004, there were no manufacturing projects among the approvals. Even as demand is increasing, development opportunities are dwindling because of the limited
supply of industrial land, a large amount of which was converted in recent years to residential or mixed uses. 32

The permit value chart above includes industrial projects; as expected, it roughly trails the approval trends with a lag of about one year. After a two-year decline, commercial permit
values rose sharply in 2003, reflecting the ongoing economic rebound. The 2005 total value was only slightly lower than 2004, the highest in the decade. IV. FUTURE LAND USE TABLE 6.

Table 6 shows the future land use distribution for the city. The Palm Beach County Appraiser’s Office database indicates that 93 commercial parcels and 13 industrial parcels are currently
vacant. • 93 vacant commercial parcels total 64 acres. Out of 92 parcels, 10 are over 1 acre, and only 6 are two acres or over in size. Mixed use parcels are included in the count; •
13 vacant industrial parcels total 42 acres. Out of 13 parcels, 3 are two acres or over in size. The remaining vacant Quantum parcels are included in this count, even though selected
commercial uses are permitted. As indicated in Housing and Residential Development section of this report, there are also very few remaining larger parcels for potential future residential
development. This would suggest that Boynton Beach is fast approaching build-out. V. BOYNTON’S INDUSTRY AND LABOR FORCE PROFILES This issue of the Development Atlas reports the establishment-based
employment by industry, occupations and sales using the 2005 estimates furnished by Claritas, Inc. The data comes from businesses and other establishments located within the city’s limits,
showing industry-and occupational profile of jobs held in Boynton Beach. 1. The Industry Profiles A. Current Employment trends in Palm Beach County The 2005 was another year of strong
employment growth for the county. Total employment grew 3.4% and private sector employment 3.4% (December 2004 to December 2005). This trend continues. In August 2005, West Palm Beach-Boca
Raton-Boynton Beach metropolitan division (the area of which coincides with that of the Palm beach County) had the third highest over-the year employment increase, 2.8%, of the 32 metropolitan
divisions in the U.S. The August 2006 unemployment rate was 2.8% (as compared to 3.1% for a state of Florida) In 2005, construction was still one of the fastest growing sectors, with
6.8% increase of employment. Large increase of employment occurred also in employment services, 11%, hotel industry, 7.3%, wholesale trade, 6.3% and transportation, warehousing and utilities,
5.2%. Manufacturing continued to loose jobs; employment in the sector fell by 4.5%, and a total of 22% since 2001. 15% in the last three years. Information sector was flat, after job
losses during the three previous years. 35

of the employment in the city were retail trade and medical services. Construction’s share remained at nearly 8%, with no change vis-àvis 2004 (and 2 points higher than in 2001). Manufacturing
employment’s share rose from 2.9% in 2001 to 5.3% in 2005. 36
Boynton Beach is a city of small business. Although the data may not be reliable enough to make such a difference significant, the average number of employees per establishment declined
from about 13 employees in 2001 to about 11 in 2005. The 2004 Claritas survey shows some 2,806 establishments in Boynton Beach, 90% of which employ fewer than 20 people. 2. Boynton’s

By and large, the Boynton Beach workforce occupational profile mirrors that of Palm Beach County as a whole (both management occupation estimates are probably deficient). About one third
of the city’s employed residents hold service occupations; office and administrative support and sales jobs are second and third most commonly held both for the city and for the county.
About 7% of Boynton’s employed employed workers have their own (not incorporated) businesses, a percentage that has remained unchanged for the last few years. 37
B. Commuting to Work According to the 2000 Census, some 75% of Boynton’s employed workers commute to work outside of the city limits, 96% of them by car (82 % drive alone). For about
35% of workers, commuting time is 30 minutes or more. The 2005 estimates indicate no change in these numbers. The average travel time to work is about 27 minutes. The public transportation
-the Tri-Rail and bus system – could certainly be used by more of these commuters, but the location, schedules and other issues cannot offset the convenience of the proximity of the
Interstate 95, which provides a good access to employment centers throughout the tri-county area. 38
