COMPREHENSIVE PlAN AMENDMENT
TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
It is proposed to change the land use designation from low-residential to high-residential on a 9.7
acre site. The site is located on the west side of Congress Avenue south of Golf Road (SW 23'"
Avenue) in the City of Boynton Beach. Access to the site will be via local roadway connections to
Congress Avenue.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine if the proposed land use designation is consistent with
the Transportation Element of the local Comprehensive Plan. An analysis of existing traffic
conditions, traffic conditions within 5 years (2006) and Year 2020 conditions has been completed.
TRAFFIC CIRCUlATION ELEMENT
Trip Generation
Section 10.8 of the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, Fair Share Road Impact
Fees was the sole source of daily trip generation data utilized in this study. Daily trips generated by
the maximum intensity development associated with existing and proposed land use designations are
shown on Exhibit 1. As required, the trip generation of the maximum allowable intensity will be
analyzed.
In determining the roadway links to be analyzed, the net new daily trip generation of 517 was
utilized. Based on this net new daily trip generation, only the directly accessed link is required to be
analyzed. Therefore, the only link required to be analyzed is Congress Avenue from Golf Road to
Lake Ida Road.
Report 03-13 1-30-03
Trip Distribution and Assignment
In order to determine the impact of the proposed development's traffic on the surrounding roadway
network, a directional distribution was developed, based upon estimated area travel patterns, to be
used in assigning traffic volumes associated with the project. Exhibit 2 provides the assignment of
traffic for the existing and proposed land use designations at the maximum development.
For the existing and 5 year analysis, the existing and programmed roadway networks were examined
in the assignment of project traffic. The long-range assignment was based on the 2020 roadway
network. For both analyses, the Congress Avenue segment is a six lane divided facility.
Existing Traffic Conditions
Existing (2001) 24-hour annual average daily traffic volumes provided by the Metropolitan Planning
Organization of Palm Beach County are shown on Exhibit 3 for the surrounding roadway network.
The 2001 traffic volumes are the latest data available. Existing plus proposed project daily traffic
volumes and levels of service are also shown on this Exhibit. The analyzed link of Congress Avenue is
operating at adopted standards.
Roadway Improvements
The FY 2003-2007 Transportation Improvement Program from the MPO of Palm Beach County and
the Palm Beach County Five Year Road Program were reviewed to determine if any roadways within
the study area are scheduled to be improved. There are currently no roadway improvements
scheduled within the area of study.
Future (2006) Background Traffic
In order to properly account for future traffic conditions, historic growth trends and committed
development traffic in the area must be analyzed. Historic growth data is provided on Exhibit 4. The
Major Projects list published by Palm Beach County, and a review of recent approvals, were used to
identify Major Projects within the area. No Major Projects are projected to have a 10% impact on
the analyzed roadway link of Congress Avenue during the five (5) year analysis time frame.

Future Traffic Conditions
Exhibits 5 and 6 show future Year 2006 and 2020 traffic conditions with the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment respectively. Year 2006 project traffic is total external traffic,
generated by the proposed land use designation. For the Year 2006 analysis, the programmed
roadway network was utilized. Congress Avenue from Golf Road to Lake Ida Road is projected to
meet adopted standards.
Year 2020 net project traffic is total external traffic, generated by the proposed land use designation,
less traffic generated by the existing land use designation. For the Year 2020 analysis, roadway lanes
and unadjusted model traffic volumes were obtained from the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) staff.
Peak season adjustment factors are provided in Appendix A. Congress Avenue from Golf Road to
Lake Ida Road, the directly accessed link, is projected to meet adopted standards.
MASS TRANSIT ELEMENT
Mass Transit Provided and Facilities
Mass Transit service is available along Congress Avenue on Palm T ran Route 2. The nearest Mass
Transit bus stop is within 0.1 mile. This route does provide connection to the Delray and Palm
Beach T ri-Rail stations.
CONCLUSIONS
This analysis shows that the proposed land use designation is consistent with the Transportation
Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
