Re: McDonald's Restaurant @ The Catalina Center
MMSP 03-075 (Reversed determination)
Dear Mr. Raffa:
Please be informed that staff has reconsidered your request filed September 2, 2003, for the
administrative review and approval to place murals of tropical reefs to the east and south walls ofthe
restaurant (as depicted on the attached photocopies). This letter is intended to supercede the
previous letter sent to you on October 2,2003, wherein the proposed changes were described as
"major" and therefore not eligible for administrative review and approval. This reconsideration has
involved input from other senior staff members and has led to the alternative determination that the
proposed murals would represent a "minor" change to the subject project. This determination is
based on the findings that the mural theme does not degrade the uniform character of the greater
shopping center, and furthers the identity of the City of Boynton Beach as a coastal community.
Please note that a permit is not required for the painting or mounting of murals on your building.
However, changes proposed to existing landscaping may be regulated by the approved site plan
and/or the Land Development Regulations. Please discuss any proposed changes with Division staff
prior to removing, relocating or replacing any existing landscaping.
Please contact me at (561) 742-6260 if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
Ed Breese, Principal Planner

Re: McDonald's Restaurant @ The Catalina Center

Dear Mr. Raffa:
In response to your request dated September 2, 2003 for the administrative review and approval of
the modifications proposed to the above-referenced approved site plan, depicting the following:
. Addition of reef-like tropical aquarium style murals to the east and south walls ofthe restaurant
(as depicted on the attached photocopies).
Please be informed that the proposed changes on the attached photocopies are not considered
"minor" as defined within the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4- Site Plan Review. The
fact that the mural would not be in harmony with the approved design and appearance criteria
established for the Catalina Center is the overriding factor in staffs decision.
Since the Catalina Center has an approved harmonious design and color scheme with which the proposed
modification conflicts, staff is bound to deny the request for the murals on the walls. Should you wish to
pursue the approval of the murals, they would be treated as an application for a Major Site Plan
Modification. This process involves your completion of an application form, authorization on the
application by the property owner supporting the modification and payment of the $750.00 application
fee. The process involving staff, Planning & Development Board and City Commission takes
approximately ninety (90) days.
Please contact me at (561) 742-6260 if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
Ed Breese, Principal Planner

SUBJECT:
McDonald's at Congress and Gateway
Two Tropical Aquarium Style Images
Minor Modified Site Plan
1799 N. Congress Ave
Boynton Beach, FL 33426
Director of Development Review:
By this submittal, presented by Paul Raffa, operator of McDonald's restaurant, I am requesting
approval of a modified site plan for the proposed reef like tropical aquarium style image graphics,
proposed for integration in the facade of the McDonald's location at Gateway and Congress Ave.
The graphics contain no logos, words, or letters, either foreign or domestic. This will enhance the
visibility of the shopping center and my restaurant, during these difficult economic times.
I believe the proposed application of the two graphics has met all your concerns as put forth by
the city of Boynton Beach standards. I look forward to hearing from you, and request that the
city of Boynton Beach grant approval of the proposed McDonald's restaurant modifications. If you
have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
