Site Characteristic: The Site Data prepared by Kilday & Associates indicates that the site has been
developed with a 587,536 square foot hospital facility containing 300 beds, a
daycare center, a total of 1,035 on-site parking spaces (148 off-site) and
approximately 23% landscape area.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Bethesda Memorial Hospital is requesting to construct an 82,500 square foot / 4
level parking garage for employees and visitors that will accommodate 883
vehicles.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic: No additional traffic is anticipated, as parking structures themselves do not
inherently generate traffic. Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering has confirmed a
traffic study is not required for this structure.
Drainage: A preliminary drainage plan has been submitted and reviewed by the Engineering
Division and found to be adequate. A more detailed analysis will be submitted at
time of permitting (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: School concurrency is not required for this type of project.
Driveways: The proposal to construct this new parking structure over an existing parking lot
does not modify any of the existing driveways entering or exiting the Bethesda
Memorial Hospital grounds. Some internal circulation roadways will be slightly
modified for access to the structure and to improve circulation on the site.
Parking Facility: The Site Plan prepared by Kilday & Associates provides a list of the different
uses and parking requirements of each. In accordance with City parking codes, the
plan indicates 300 hospital beds @ 2.5 parking spaces required per bed for a total
of 750 parking spaces. Additionally, the daycare center comprises 7,500 square feet
with a parking requirement of 1 parking space per every 300 square feet, for a total
of 25 parking spaces. Lastly, the utility building totals 8,968 square feet with a
parking requirement of 1 parking space per every 500 square feet, for a total of 18
parking spaces.
The sum total of required parking, based on the number of beds and ancillary
structures, is indicated on the plans as 793 parking spaces. Based upon the Site
Plan and a Parking Planning Study prepared in May, 2002, the Hospital provides
1,183 parking spaces (1,035 on-site and 148 off). By the numbers, the Hospital
meets City parking codes and provides 390 excess parking spaces. According to the
May, 2002 Parking Planning Study conducted for Bethesda Memorial Hospital, only
1,000 on-site parking spaces were available at the time of the study due to
Staff Report - Bethesda Memorial Hospital (MSPM 03-010)
Memorandum No PZ 03-299
Page 3
construction trailers and lay-down areas for on-going work on the Hospital,
reducing the number of excess parking spaces to 355. The Site Plan depicts the
addition of 23 handicap parking spaces with this project for a total of 52, with a
code requirement for only 28.
The 2002 Parking Planning Study also reviewed the parking demand in present
day and a 2010 planning horizon. The current planning deficit was determined to
be 198 parking spaces, with a shortfall of 693 by the year 2010. Since the time of
the study, the Hospital received approval for two physician parking structures
totaling 85 parking spaces. As a part of that approval, 12 parking spaces will be
eliminated with the new construction, resulting in a net addition of 73 spaces.
With the construction of the parking structure proposed in this application, 661 new
parking spaces will be added to the site (883 spaces within the garage + 9 spaces
added by realignment of an internal circulation road, minus 231 spaces eliminated
for construction of the garage).
The consultant has indicated that the Hospital will operate a shuttle bus for their
employee parking (247 spaces) that will be disrupted during the construction of the
parking garage. They intend to utilize their satellite parking approximately 1.5 miles
away.
Landscaping:
The proposed pervious or "green" area of the property with the construction of the
parking structure, according to the Site Plan (Sheet 5-1.1), would be 23.1%. The
Plant List (Sheet LP-1. 5) indicates that 266 trees, 2,716 shrubs and ground cover in
the amount of 2,062 specimens are being provided. Typical trees being utilized in
the planting scheme include Live Oak, Cattley Guava and Slash Pine trees and
Royal, Sabal, Washington and Solitaire palms. Shrub material selected for the site
include Sea Grape, Cocoplum, Ixora Nora Grant, firebush and Beauty Berry. four
Tibouchina trees are proposed to be planted at the entrances as signature trees.
The landscape plan (Sheet LP-4.5) also depicts the relocation and preservation of
57 trees on-site, including Oaks, Mahoganies, Black Olives, Tabebuias and palms.
The Landscape Architect appears to have done a credible job in designing a
landscape plan that provides good screening and understory plant materials that
appropriately address the first two (2) and a portion of the third level of the parking
structure, through the use of trees ranging in height from 12-30 feet. The average
height of the parking structure however is 42 feet, with elevator and stair towers
above that. Staff has requested additional height be provided with certain Royal
Palm and Washington Palm tree canopies, to create a greater visual screening of
the third and fourth levels of the garage (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Additionally, staff has requested greater density in the landscaping of those line-of-
sight areas from the adjacent neighborhoods and walked the site and
neighborhoods with the applicant and the Landscape Architect to point out many of
these areas. Again, staff is recommending as a condition of approval, that the
applicant note on the plans that it will address any complaints from neighbors
regarding the line-of-sight (unobstructed view from residential properties) during
the installation of the landscaping, to the satisfaction of the City forester (see
Staff Report - Bethesda Memorial Hospital (MSPM 03-010)
Memorandum No PZ 03-299
Page 4
Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Building and Site: The proposed parking structure as designed, consists of a ground level and three
(3) supported levels, for a total of four (4) tiers of parking. The average height of
the parking structure, according to Sheet A-3.1, ranges between 40'-9" and 42'-9"
due to grade changes on the site. The elevator and stair towers will exceed the
allowable 45 foot limit, with the tallest appurtenance indicated as the elevator
tower at 55'-3", by approximately eleven (11) feet. The City Commission has the
authority to grant a Height Exception for these types of structures and
appurtenances. The applicant has made a separate application for the Height
Exception (HTEX 03-008) and approval of the same is listed as a condition of
approval for this Major Site Plan Modification (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of
Approval).
Design: The parking garage is proposed to be as compatible as this type of structure can be
with the existing building elements of the Hospital. The proposal utilizes matching
color schemes with the Hospital, with the body color proposed as Peach Vail
(Sonneborn Acrylic Elastomeric 63 - 803). The accent color proposed is White
(Sonneborn Acrylic Elastomeric 64 - 235).
Signage: No new signs are proposed in conjunction with this request for major site plan
modification. The existing ground signs at the entrance off of 23rd Avenue (Golf
Road) and at the parking lot entrance of the day care will now be landscaped with
this project.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) has reviewed this request for major site plan modification
approval. Staff recommends approval, contingent upon all comments indicated in Exhibit "c" -
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission
shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

8 Buildings three-stories or higher shall be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system per
F.S. 553.895.
9 Add to all plan view drawings of the site a labeled symbol that represents the location and
perimeter of the limits of construction proposed with the subject request.
10 At time of permit review, submit signed and sealed working drawings of the proposed
construction.
11 As required by Chapter 4, Section 7 of the LOR, submit a floor plan drawing. The building
plans are not being reviewed for compliance with the applicable building codes.
Therefore, add the words "Floor plan layout is conceptual" below the drawing titled Floor
Plan found on sheets A 1.1-A 1.4.
12 Identify within the site data the finish floor elevation (lowest floor elevation) that is
proposed for the building. Verify that the proposed elevation is in compliance with
regulations of the code by adding specifications to the site data that address the following
issues [Section 3107.1.2, Chapter 31 of the 2001 FBC]:
a) The design professional-of-record for the project shall add the following text to the site
data. "The proposed finish floor elevation _' _ NGVO is above the highest 100-
year base flood elevation applicable to the building site, as determined by the
SFWMO's surface water management construction development regulations."
b) From the FIRM map, identify in the site data the title of the flood zone that the building
is located within. Where applicable, specify the base flood elevation. If there is no
base flood elevation, indicate that on the plans.
c) Identify the floor elevation that the design professional has established for the building
within the footprint of the building that is shown on the drawings titled site plan, floor
plan and paving/ drainage (civil plans).
13 CBBCPP 3.C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water may not,
therefore, be used for landscape irrigation where other sources are readily available.
14 A water-use permit for the irrigation system is required from the SFWMO. A copy of the
permit shall be submitted at the time of permit application, F.S. 373.216.
15 Indicate the finish floor elevation for the parking garage.
