FROM:
DATE: November 12, 2003
SUBJECT: Fire Station #2 - CDPA 03-002
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 Woolbright
Road (see Exhibit "B" - Proposed Elevations), This appeal is being submitted in conjunction with a site plan
application (NWSP 03-015),
BACKGROUND
The City proposes to construct a two-story, 29,234 square-foot fire rescue station/ fire administration office
building on a 3,98-acre parcel on the north side of Woolbright Road, approximately 650 feet west of
Congress Avenue (see Exhibit "A"),
According to Chapter 9 - Community Design Plan of the City's Land Development Regulations, Woolbright
Road 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,
ANALYSIS
This subject property is located west of Congress Avenue on Woolbright Road, The restriction of not
allowing the bay doors to face Woolbright Road is predicated on the concept that the roadway is very
visible and overhead bay doors are unsightly. Woolbright Road, 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 (Woolbright Road) can substantially improve the response
times, as opposed to driving through a long parking lot before entering the highway, Additionally, due to the
long, narrow sliver of property on which this station is proposed, the overhead doors would be in full view of
eastbound traffic on Woolbright Road for a much more substantial period than the straight on view being
proposed. Ironically, even rotating the building so that the bay doors would be in an east/west alignment

would still result in the bay doors facing Woolbright Road, since the curvature of the road as it moves west
past the fire station site would act as a secondary frontage on the west (thus still requiring this design
appeal), Accordingly, the Architects have proposed a very beautiful building with a great deal of design
character (see Sheet A3.1), The mediterranean architecture more closely resembles many of the larger
homes being built in our newer subdivisions than apparatus bays of a fire station. They have also proposed
painting the overhead doors to match the color of the building, in order that they blend with the building as
much as possible, since standard operating procedure is for the bay doors to be closed, thus obscuring any
storage, daily operations, or the things people generally find objectionable about open garage bays. Lastly
the Architects have designed a lush, colorful landscape theme along Woolbright Road and the front of the
fire rescue station to soften any impact from the orientation of the bay doors (see Sheet L 1,2),
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the analysis contained herein, staff recommends approval of this request to locate the overhead
bay doors facing Woolbright Avenue, 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.
