Dance Instruction added to the list of permitted uses in the M-l zoning district
NATURE OF REQUEST
Mrs. Penni Greenly, owner and representative for Southern Dance Studio, is requesting that dance
instruction be added to the list of permitted uses in the M-l, Industrial zoning district Specifically, the
applicant is requesting that the code be amended to add a new permitted use to the M-l zoning district
(Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 8. A. 1. d. (9) to read as follows:
"(9). Gymnastic centers, Dance Instruction. "
It should be noted that the effects of the subject request, if approved, would be citywide (e.g. all M-l
districts).
BACKGROUND
The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 8, A. 1., limits the M-l zoning district to
industrial uses; however the current list has included gymnastic centers since November, 2001 to
accommodate the same. The C-2, Neighborhood Commercial zoning district, Chapter 2 Section 6. B. 1.
(hh) permits:
"hh. Art or recreational instruction. "
Also, Section 6. C. 1. (m) and consequently Section 6, D. 1, which correspond to the C-2 and C-3
zoning districts, respectively, permit: "Recreational facilities, including bowling lanes, billiard halls,
health clubs, gymnasiums, tennis clubs, golf courses, miniature golf courses, shooting ranges (indoor
only), skating rinks, and amusement halls, Recreation facilities other than those which are listed
above shall be conditional uses (*). Racetracks, go-cart tracks, and water slides shall be prohibited. "
in the C-3 zoning district
With respect to standard classification of the subject use, the North American Industrial Classification
Page 2
CDRV 03-005
System (NAICS), identifies "dance schools, dance studios, and dance instruction" under the Fine Arts
Schools category, Furthermore, the Standard Industrial Classification Manual identifies "dance studios
and schools" under the Dance Studio, Schools, and Halls category (see Exhibit "A").
ANALYSIS
The applicant has stated in the documents supporting this request (see Exhibit "B") that: "dance
schools require high ceilings (min, 16 ft.) for lift work and hanging of fans, and relatively large open
rooms n. Through several conversations with the applicant, it appears that with these requirements it is
not feasible to operate such a facility in most commercial areas, The ceiling height in most commercial
centers is in the 12-14 ft range, Operating a dance studio in commercial areas would be expensive and
possibly cost prohibitive, if a customized facility had to be built. Furthermore, in support of this
request, the applicant submitted a sample of similar establishments conducting business from
neighboring municipalities (see Exhibit "B 1 "). This information indicates that of the five (5) dance
studio establishments operating in the area, they all operate in industrial zones. Staff understands that
economic and market trends evolve at a faster pace than zoning regulations and may also lead to
inconsistency in regard to the relationship between public welfare and the allowance of such use,
Furthermore, staff researched several establishments similar to that of the applicant throughout Palm
Beach County to obtain the age group of their clientele. The findings indicated a similarity in age
groups (4 years old to adult) among the sample. Although this is not a surprising fact, the student ages
are included to emphasize that children would be exposed to the industrial areas that are typically kept
separate from the general public. It should be noted that this use functions somewhat similar to
gymnastic centers, which was added to the M-l zoning district following a code amendment in
November 2001.
Safety and purpose
For comparative purposes, staff surveyed local governments to obtain their respective regulations on
dance studio/dance instruction (see Exhibit "C"). Of the eight (8) jurisdictions considered, five (5) of
them including Palm Beach County, the City of Boca Raton, the City of Lake Worth and the City of
West Palm Beach, define "dance studio" as a fitness center and permit dance studios in most of their
industrial districts. The City of Delray Beach permits them in their General Commercial and Central
Business districts. Finally, the Village of Royal Palm Beach regulates them as fitness centers, and the
Village of Wellington regulates them under the broader category of Educational or Institutional
services, and both jurisdictions allow them in their respective industrial zoning category where such
institutions are permitted. Although all zoning regulations vary among other cities and Palm Beach
County, the industrial districts described by other codes does not appear comparable to Boynton
Beach's single industrial district (M-l), For example, the zoning regulations of neighboring
municipalities have different levels of industrial classifications, which may separate heavy from light
industrial uses thereby creating a "light" industrial district more comparable to the city's Planned
Industrial Development District (Pill).
Parkinl! intensification
With respect to comparative parking requirements, Chapter 2, Section 11, H, Provision of off-street
parking spaces, Section16.(e)(8) requires for gymnasiums and health clubs: one (1) parking space per
Page 3
CDRV 03-005
three hundred (300) square feet of gross floor area. Parking space requirements may be computed
separately for floor area occupied by athletic courts, swimming pools, or other principal uses for
which parking space requirements are listed in this ordinance. Section 11.16( f) requires one (1)
parking space per five hundred (500) square feet of gross floor area for industrial, research and
development, trades uses, and one (1) parking space per eight hundred (800) square feet of gross floor
area for wholesale, and warehouse uses,
The general intent and purpose of the M-l zoning district is to provide adequate space for more intense
commercial and industrial uses. Staff has acknowledged that over time buildings that were designed
and approved for less intensive uses to minimize parking obligations, are often subsequently converted
to more intense uses that generate an increase in off-street parking demands. The minimum lot size for
any property in an M-l, Industrial district to be developed is 10,000 square feet. In contrast, the
minimum lot sizes within the C-2 and C-3 zoning districts are 5,000 square feet and 15,000 square feet,
respectively, and these zoning districts generate more activity and traffic, and consequently, require
more parking spaces to meet the intent and purpose of the zoning districts,
If the proposed use (dance studio) were to be permitted in the M-l district, with a minimum lot area of
10,000 square feet and maximum lot coverage of 60%, and based on one (1) parking space per three
hundred (300) square feet of gross floor area, the parking requirement would be 20 spaces, However,
using this same scenario for industrial and warehouse uses, the parking requirement would be 12
spaces and 7.5 spaces, respectively, based on one (1) space per five hundred square feet and one (1)
space per eight hundred (800) square feet of gross floor area. Therefore, allowing the proposed use in
the M-l zoning district would intensify and be in contrast to the characteristics and performance of the
M -1 zoning district. Also, the use of an undersized building for recreational purposes, with a higher
parking requirement, could increase the need for code variances if existing sites cannot be retrofitted
for the greater standards,
Generatin2 need for variances requests
Lastly, the city, aside from the Pill (Planned Industrial District), has only one industrial zoning district,
containing a variety of uses. Although the city prohibits heavy industrial uses such as the
manufacturing/processing of cement, fertilizers and asbestos or paints, all industrial uses are
consolidated into the single, M-l zoning district, which includes uses involving processes or chemicals
with distant separation requirements (from residential areas). In contrast, other jurisdictions that have
two (2) or more different industrial zones, which vary in intensity, could accommodate certain uses
within the lowest intensity districts without jeopardizing compatibility and safety. In Boynton Beach,
the subject use could bring children/youth in close proximity to moderately intense industrial uses and
their respective characteristics (e.g. truck traffic, chemicals, other hazards, etc.),
Competition with industrial land
If a need for the subject use is substantiated, and if the typical industrial buildings do offer the ideal
environment/structure for the training needs or characteristics, then one option could be to allow them
conditionally, and with additional restrictions such as distance separations from selected uses or
prohibiting them from multiple use buildings. However, depending on the restrictions placed on such
uses, the affect may be to reduce the location opportunities of certain industrial uses and represent an
Page 4
CDRV 03-005
"opportunity cost". For example, if there is a distance separation requirement between a dance
instruction establishment and a use that processes plastic products, the existence of such an
establishment within an industrial area could then limit future location options for the plastics use.
Industrial zoned lands have been rezoned to alternative districts over the past several years, which trend
could continue through redevelopment in the downtown area. What land remains will be even more
important to support growth of industrial and related service uses.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on this analysis, staff recommends that this request to amend the city's code to include dance
instruction establishments in the M -1 zoning district be denied, It is the opinion of staff that this code
revision, if approved as requested by the applicant, would have a certain level of impact on the
citywide distribution of uses and the public welfare within the industrial zoning districts. Staff further
believes that the subject use would modify the industrial fabric and its performance characteristics.
Furthermore, when the city's zoning regulations are comprehensively reviewed and rewritten as
planned, the establishment of more than one industrial zone could be considered to provide for an
office/industriallight district that would allow for less intense industrial (i.e. "cleaner") uses, This type
of industrial zone could be written to be more compatible with the subject dance instruction
establishment. However, it is unknown how long it would take to implement such regulations to
actually create such a district wherein these types of recreational uses could be compatible. Further, if
the Board and City Commission choose to grant this request, to minimize the impacts on the public
safety and welfare, staff recommends that this use be subject to conditional use approval to allow for a
case-by-case review for compatibility with other uses and site capacity. Staff would also recommend
that this conditional use requirement also apply to "gymnastic center" for the same reason as stated
herein.
