PROJECT ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 9,C.2(2) of the Land Development Regulations, staff is not required to review the
petition against the eight (8) criteria by which rezonings are to be reviewed as indicated in Section 9,C.7"
as this petition is consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for
properties to be annexed within this vicinity. Instead, staff analysis will relate to consistency with other
relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan, the city's annexation program and service capability.
This commercial property is less than I 0 acres in size, and therefore this proposed amendment to the
comprehensive plan is considered a "small-scale" amendment and is not subject to "compliance review"
by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). This means that the proposed amendment, if
desired by the city, will be adopted first, then forwarded to the DCA for their records ("large-scale"
amendments cannot be adopted until found "in compliance" by the DCA),
The annexation of this parcel is consistent with the only policy within the comprehensive plan on
annexation. Policy 8,10.4, which requires the establishment of an annexation program, promotes orderly
annexation, and prohibits the creation of new enclaves. The annexation of the subject property will
further the efforts of the annexation program through reduction in the number of enclave properties. State
annexation law allows the annexation of enclaves that are less than 10 acres without the consent of
property owners. Currently, objectives of the annexation program include annexing all enclaves less than
10 acres, and to incrementally annex enclave properties with the intent to reducing them below the 10-
acre threshold,
The requested land use and zoning is consistent with the recommendations of Section VIII Land Use
Problems and Opportunities, sub-section I.q., found in the support documents for the 1989 City Of
Bovnton Beach Comprehensive Plan,
In connection with previous annexation studies, departments most affected by annexations (e,g, Police,
Fire, and Public Works), have been sUrveyed for issues related to service capability and costs, All
opinions previously collected from these departments supported the incremental annexation of enclaves.
These opinions have been based on the following:
I) The enclaves are all immediately adjacent to areas within the city that currently receive
urban services;
2) Ample service capacity exists to serve adjacent unincorporated properties; and
3) Most enclaves currently receive service from the city via the mutual aid agreement
(Police and Fire/EMS only),
With respect to impact upon roadways, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the project
and determined that it meets Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
However, with respect to water and wastewater utilities, the review of the proposed site plan (which was
to have been reviewed concurrently with the subject applications) identified the absence of wastewater
lines directly accessible to the subject property. As part of site plan approval, access to city utilities, or an
acceptable alternative, must be designed. The review of the site plan application has been delayed to
allow for project engineers to evaluate and address this situation.
