SUBJECT:
Fire Station #4 - CDPA 03-003
Appeal of Chapter 9 - Community Design Plan (Overhead Doors)
NATURE OF REQUEST
David Stump and David Lui, representing the City of Boynton Beach Engineering and Fire Departments, are
requesting approval of a Community Design Plan Appeal to allow overhead bay doors facing Federal
Highway (see Exhibit "B" - Proposed Elevations). This appeal is being submitted in conjunction with a site
plan application (NWSP 03-024).
BACKGROUND
The City proposes to construct a one-story, 8,200 square foot fire rescue building on a 1.89-acre parcel on
the west side of Federal Highway (1919), south of Woolbright Road (see Exhibit "A").
According to Chapter 9 - Community Design Plan of the City's Land Development Regulations, Federal
Highway is listed as a roadway where building elevations shall not display overhead bay doors. Due to their
high degree of visibility, these major roadways within the City are subject to higher standards related to
building appearance.
ANAL YSIS
This subject property is located at 1919 South Federal Highway (the former Hayes Clinic). The restriction
of not allowing the bay doors to face Federal Highway is predicated on the concept that the roadway is very
visible and overhead bay doors tend to be unsightly. Federal Highway, as well as the other roadways listed
in Chapter 9, Section 11.J. of the Land Development Regulations, are considered entrances into the City.
Buildings located on these roadways should be held to a higher level of architectural standards.
The Design Appeal process is appropriate in this instance because the unique nature of the fire rescue
operation and the rapid response necessity. Since in many instances, every second counts, having
immediate access to the main thoroughfare (Federal Highway) can substantially improve the response
times, as opposed to driving around the block before entering the highway. Additionally, due to the odd
shape of the property and its narrow width, rotating the building so that the bay doors would be in a
north/south alignment would not provide space for the maneuvering of the large pieces of equipment.
Accordingly, the Architects have proposed a building with a great deal of design character through the use
of various architectural enhancements, such as wood lap siding and standing seam metal roof (see Sheet
Page 2
Memorandum No. PZ03-311
Fire Station #4
CDPA 03-003
A3.1). The "Old Florida" architecture creates a non-traditional look for a fire station, which are typically
"boxy" in appearance with very prominent apparatus bays. Additionally, since standard operating procedure
is for the bay doors to be closed, any storage, daily operations, or the things people generally find
objectionable about open garage bays will be minimized. Lastly the Architects have designed a lush, native
Florida landscape theme along Federal Highway and the front of the fire rescue station to soften any impact
from the orientation of the bay doors (see Sheet L 1.2). Part of this design involves the narrowing of the
driveway/apron in an "hour glass" shape to bring even more landscaping closer to the apparatus doors to
minimize the view of these doors to passing motorists.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the analysis contained herein, staff recommends approval of this request to locate the overhead
bay doors facing Federal Highway. No conditions of approval are recommended; however, any conditions of
approval recommended by the Board or City Commission will be placed in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval.
