BACKGROUND
Proposal:
The Sunshine Square shopping center, which encompasses 14.42 acres at the
southwest corner of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway, is part of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Local
Retail Commercial (LRC) to Mixed-Use (MX) and rezone the property from
Community Commercial (C-3) to Mixed-Use Low Intensity 3 (MU-L3). Because of the
size of the property under consideration, the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) classifies the amendment as "large scale". A "large scale" amendment
is transmitted to DCA for their review and comment prior to City adoption. The City
Commission reviewed the LUAR at their July 5, 2006 meeting and voted to transmit
the amendment to DCA. The Department has completed their review and the
amendments are ready for adoption by the City Commission, as is the requisite site
plan.
The site plan shows the existing Sunshine Square shopping center being demolished
in phases (in order to relocate and accommodate as many of the existing tenants as
possible), and replaced with a mixed-use project. The site is divided into four (4)
quadrants by a central street running north/south between Woolbright Road and SE
18th Avenue and another running east/west from Federal Highway to the FEC
Railroad right-of-way. The north/south road has an elliptical median containing
landscaped areas. Sidewalks front arcaded retail structures on each side of the
street. Retail/office structures front on Woolbright Road, Federal Highway and the
east/west internal drive. The center of three of the quadrant buildings house parking
decks, while the remaining quadrant, located on the northwest corner of the site,
contains the relocated Publix supermarket under a parking deck. The details
of the site plan will be discussed in the body of the staff report.

ANALYSIS
Traffic: A traffic study was submitted by the applicant and reviewed by the Palm Beach
County Traffic Division. However, comments were generated by the Traffic
Division and as of today, the project has not received a letter of concurrency
approval from Palm Beach County. The applicant has re-submitted the information
addressing the County's comments and is awaiting their response. Additionally, the
applicant continues to participate in meetings with Palm Beach County Traffic
Engineering, the City Engineering Division and the developer of the parcel to the
north, across Woolbright Road (Las Ventanas), to coordinate the necessary
roadway and signalization improvements. No building permits are to be issued until
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division approves the study for traffic concurrency
purposes (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Utilities: The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach
County Utilities represents a portion of the City's potable water supply that would
support the needs of this project (projected to total 254,566 gallons per day).
Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required for the project,
dependent upon the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local
improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be
reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater
treatment capacity is currently available to serve the project total of 211,942
gallons per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity,
following approval of the site plan.
Police/Fire: Fire staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current-staffing levels would
be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. Infrastructure
requirements such as hydrants and roadways would be addressed during the
permitting process (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). Police staff indicated
that the service requirements of the department will be impacted by this
development and that additional officers and equipment will be needed to serve
this and other approved projects in the vicinity.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the CitVs review. The
Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions
be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "(I' - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District has determined that adequate capacity exists to accommodate
the projected resident children.
Driveways: The project can be characterized as "urban inti", mixed-use" development whereby
front building setbacks are minimal and off-street parking is relegated to a
subordinate role. The site plan shows that the development would be divided into
four (4) distinct sections. The plans show that parking garages would provide for
the majority of off-street parking spaces for the entire project. The garages are
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06 . I)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 4
intentionally proposed as hidden structures located within the core of the project
and virtually unseen from the major roadways. Likewise, the project is not
proposing traditional driveways or surface parking lots like that of "suburban"-type
of projects (where driveways connect to off-street parking located in front of the
buildings).
The site plan shows that vehicles would enter the site from three (3) locations. The
main entrances are proposed on Federal Highway near the center of the roadway
frontage and on Woolbright Road, again near the middle of that roadway frontage.
The Federal Highway entrance would have a deceleration lane for southbound
Federal traffic and no median cut for northbound traffic. Egress from this curb cut
would be limited to right hand turning movements only (southbound Federal
Highway). The Woolbright Road entrance would have an eastbound deceleration
lane and two (2) ingress and two (2) egress lanes, separated by a 12-foot
landscape island. This would be a full access entrance with a proposed traffic signal
aligned with the Woolbright Road entrance of the project to the north (Las
Ventanas). Motorists would be able to enter or exit this location from all directions.
The project's third entrance is proposed along SE 18th Avenue, at the southern
terminus of the Woolbright Road entry drive. This entrance would also proVide
access to the entire site. The driveway opening would be 24 feet in width and
provide ingress/egress from a road with lower volumes of traffic. Lastly, there is an
exit drive proposed at the northwest corner of the site at Woolbright Road and the
railroad tracks that is designed as an "egress only" for the service/delivery area at
the rear of Publix. All driveway, drive aisles, and turning radius, internal to the
development, would be improved to conform to current city engineering standards.
Parking Facility: Off-street parking proposed within the development must meet the requirements in
Chapter 2, Section n.H. of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
The project proposes a mix of residential, office and retail uses. One-bedroom
apartment units require one and one-half (1 V2) parking spaces. Two or more
bedroom units require two (2) parking spaces. The project proposes a total of 558
dwelling units (with a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms) and 18 live/work
townhouse units, in conjunction with 153,939 square feet of retail/office space.
When combined, the total parking requirements equal 1,854 spaces. The project
proposes 1,656 parking spaces, a deficiency of 198 parking spaces. However, the
code allows a mixed-use project to present a shared parking analysis in compliance
with the Urban Land Institute's (UU) guidelines. The applicant submitted the
shared parking analysis prepared by their traffic consultant, TrafTech Engineering
Inc., indicating that the maximum number of parking spaces required for the
mixed-use project would be 1,656, based upon the greatest demand for parking
being a weekday evening at 8:00 PM. The analysis concludes that there would be
sufficient parking during the highest demand, with no excess. During the other
hours of the day (10:00 AM - 10:00 PM), the parking demand ranges between
1,300 and the 1,656 parking spaces noted above at the 8:00 PM hour. As in all
cases, the City Commission must accept the shared parking analysis when
approving a site plan (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06 1)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 5
The parking spaces would be provided as follows: 1,611 parking garage spaces,
and 45 on-street parking spaces. As previously discussed, the site is divided into
four quadrants by bisecting streets. According to the site plan (Sheet A1.01), the
Phase IA parcel (NE quadrant) would contain 31,675 square feet of retail/office
space. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, which is utilized when
analyzing mixed-use projects, this building would require 159 parking spaces. The
building also accommodates 126 residential units (42 -1 BR units). Based upon 1.5
spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 231 parking spaces would be
required for the residential units. Therefore, 390 parking spaces are required in
Phase IA and 312 are proVided as a result of the shared parking analysis. The
Phase IB parcel (SE quadrant) would contain 26,235 square feet of retail/office
space. Using the same methodology used for Phase IA, this building would require
132 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 102 residential units (30 - 1
BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 189
parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 321 parking
spaces are required in Phase IB and 281 are provided as a result of the shared
parking analysis.
The Phase IIA parcel (NW quadrant) would contain 81,684 square feet of
retail/office space, which includes the proposed 54,064 square foot new Publix
store. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, this building would
require 408 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 90 residential units
(24 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other,
168 parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 576
parking spaces are required in Phase IIA and 1,039 are provided as a result of the
shared parking analysis. However, the parking garage associated with Phase IIA is
connected to and provides the required parking for Phase lIB, immediately to the
south. Phase lIB is the southwestern-most parcel and would contain 14,345 square
feet of retail space. Again, based upon parking calculations for shopping centers,
this building would require 72 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 258
residential units (58 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2
spaces for all other, 451 parking spaces would be required for these residential
units. Additionally, there are 18 live/work townhouse units proposed around the
south and east sides of the building which require 2.5 parking spaces for each unit,
thus necessitating 45 more parking spaces. Therefore, with the 568 parking spaces
required in Phase lIB plus the 576 in Phase IIA, a total of 1,144 parking spaces are
required and 1,063 are provided as a result of the shared parking analysis.
Should the applicant propose to place a gate within any or all of the parking
structures to separate the residential parking from the general use parking, the
applicant shall be required to proVide an updated shared parking analysis to ensure
that the assumptions made in the analysis are not voided by such action (see
"Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Landscaping:
The Site Plan tabular data (Sheet Al.0 1) indicates that the proposed pervious areas
would equal 21.2% of the site. The MU-L3 zoning district requires a minimum 20%
pervious area, which is satisfied with the proposed site plan. The Landscape Notes
(Sheet IDS) indicates the subject site currently contains 153 trees, 33 of which
staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP Ol ~1)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 6
would remain in place, 66 of which would be relocated on site, and 54 designated
for removal. Most of those to be removed are in poor condition and the applicant
will be required to replace the total caliper inches of those trees removed with new
specimens. The landscape plan plant list proposes the installation of 92 new
canopy trees plus the relocation of 40 existing trees and the retention of 6, for a
total of 138 canopy trees. 341 new palm trees are proposed, as well as 54 existing
or relocated palms, for a total of 396. The plan also depicts 9,555 shrub and
groundcover plants. According to the plant list, 50% of the canopy trees would be
native and 57% of the palm trees would be native. The landscape plan also
proposes in excess of 50% native shrubs / hedges / accent plants. The plant list
indicates the following species to be utilized throughout the project: Medjool Date
palms, Sabal, Coconut and Royal palms, Purple Glory, Live Oak, Black Olive,
Mahogany and Pigeon Plum trees, Dwarf Schefflera, Cocoplum, Ixora, Hibiscus,
Plumbago, Viburnum shrubs, as well as, Crinum Lily and Annuals.
<C
Royal palm trees are proposed in front of the buildings (along Federal Highway and
Woolbright Road) and are proposed to be installed at an overall height of 22 feet.
Staff recommends that the Royal palm trees along these thoroughfares be installed
at approximately half ofthe building height, in the range of 30-35 feet (see "Exhibit
C" - Conditions of Approval). These mixed-use buildings would be located close to
the east and south property lines and therefore, would be consistent with the intent
of the Land Development Regulations of the MU-L3 zoning district. However, the
landscape plan still would provide for plant material along these main roadways to
help break up the building mass. In fact, these areas would be 10 feet in width to
accommodate the installation of the larger-size palm trees.
The south landscape buffer, along SE 18th Avenue and the live/work townhomes,
would be approximately 13 feet in depth at its narrowest point. The south buffer is
proposed to include Laurel Oak, Green Buttonwood and Bougainvillea trees, Royal
and Cabbage palms, and among others, hibiscus, dwarfschefflera and waxjasmine
shrubs.
Although not dimensioned, it appears as though the west landscape buffer adjacent
to the Florida East Coast railroad right-of-way would vary in width from six (6) feet
at its narrowest point (behind Publix) to approximately 70 feet, near the
southwestern portion of the site. Live Oak trees and Sabal palms are the
predominant trees proposed for this buffer, along with Cocoplum hedge material.
Additionally, there is a water feature with arbors and a variety of landscape
material proposed along the west buffer, at the west terminus of the main
east/west drive through the site.
The interior of the site would basically contain the same plant material as the
perimeter buffers. The interior street system would have intermittent, parallel (on-
street) parking spaces and wide sidewalks that accommodate a pedestrian friendly
window-shopping environment, landscape cutouts and adequate area for outdoor
seating/dining.
staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06 .1)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204

Building and Site: The site plan proposes a mix of residential, office and commercial uses. The
commercial/office square footage would total 14.3% of the total building area.
Building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements
when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The maximum
allowed density of the Mixed-Use land use category would be 40 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed project density would be 39.94 dwelling units per acre. As
previously mentioned, the existing shopping center would be replaced with four (4)
seven (7)-story mixed-use buildings, three (3) of which wrap interior parking
structures. The depth of the parcel extends westward from Federal Highway to the
Florida East Coast railroad tracks. The subject property fronts on two (2) major
roadways (Federal Highway and Woolbright Road). The parcel located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road
(approximately half an acre in size) is not included in the request for land use
amendment/rezoning and site plan approval. This corner parcel contains a gas
station and is classified Local Retail Commercial and zoned C-3 Community
Commercial. The proposed building in Phase IA would wrap around the gas station
parcel with retail on the first floor and residential units above and parking structure
inside. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the property lines and
then the building steps back approximately 15 feet further from Federal Highway
and 7 feet further from Woolbright Road, at a height of approximately 30 feet. The
MU-L3 zoning district allows for a maximum building height of 75 feet, for
properties not abutting the Mixed-Use High (MU-H) district. The elevations (Sheet
A1.06) of the Phase IA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the
roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. This
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet. While the stair/elevator
towers are eligible for a Height Exception, the roofline itself cannot exceed the 75-
foot threshold. The applicant has been made aware of this situation and has
agreed to modify the height of the structure to conform at time of permitting, and
has applied for a Height Exception for the eligible towers (HTEX 07-001), which is
being processed concurrently with the site plan. Staff has recommended that the
building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height
and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IB (SE quadrant of the site) would be constructed
immediately north of a parcel (approximately 1 acre in size) classified Local Retail
Commercial and zoned C-3 Community Commercial and containing a small strip
commercial shopping plaza and residential property, fronting on SE 18th Avenue,
and not included in this request for land use amendment/rezoning and site plan
approval. This seven (7)-story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first
floor and residential units above and parking structure inside. The south side of this
building does not however have the parking structure wrapped with storefronts,
and the condominium units/recreation amenity does not begin until the fourth floor.
A to-foot setback has been depicted to proVide the necessary landscape buffer, at
the appropriate height. Staff recommends that applicant provide the necessary
landscape at varying heights to assist In the screening of the three levels of parking
(see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval). The first and second floors are setback
staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 0(; _ 1 )
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 8
a height of approximately 30 feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase rB
mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the roofline with a total height
to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. Like the Phase IA building, this
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended
that the building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IIA (NW quadrant of the site) would house the
relocated Publix. Fronting the Publix on Woolbright Road would be office uses on
the first floor with residential above to the 7th floor. Wrapping around the Publix on
the east side is retail on the first floor and residential units above, with one level of
parking deck above the Publix and a bridge connection to the interior parking
structure in Phase lIB. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the
north property line abutting Woolbright Road and then the building steps back
approximately 12 feet further, at a height of approximately 27 feet. The elevations
(Sheet Al.06) of the Phase IIA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to
the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet.
Like the previous two (2) phases, this would not comply with the height limitation
of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that the building be modified by the two (2)
feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height and placed a condition to that effect in
the Conditions of Approval. On the ground level, in between the office/residential
structure facing Woolbright Road and the Publix building, is a service court for
deliveries, refuse collection and other utility purposes that is screened from the
residential units above by the parking deck connecting the Publix building to the
office/residential structure facing Woolbright Road.
Lastly, the proposed building in Phase lIB (SW quadrant of the site) and current
location of Publix, would be the last phase to be constructed, once Publix relocated
into its new building and the old structure could be demolished. This seven (7)-
story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first floor and residential
units above along the northern portion of the building on the east side. The
remainder of the east fa~ade and south side would be live/work units, with regular
condominium units above. The live/work units would be setback approximately 12
from the SE 18th Avenue right-of-way and then the building steps back
approximately 10 feet further from SE 18th Avenue, at a height of approximately 27
feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase lIB mixed-use structure, depict the
height at 80 feet to the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the
stair/elevator towers at 94 feet. Like all of the previous phases this building would
not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that
the building be modified by the five (5) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
Design:
As noted previously, the proposed development can be generally described as
being separated into four (4) quadrants of similarly designed seven (7) story
structures. The proposed architecture could be described as contemporary design,
with varying rooflines and fa~ade step backs for interest and shadowing. Also
noteworthy is that the project parking would be virtually hIdden from most all views
and Is considered to be a subordinate, mostly unobtrusive element of the plan.

Staff recommends that those areas in which the parking garage is exposed to the
exterior of the project, especially abutting the gas station, the
commercial/residential to the south and along the west elevation, the garage
openings be enhanced with decorative metal work, decorative shutters, awnings,
and in some instances landscaping (see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Vehicular traffic is contained within the internal framework of the project, utilizing
the cross-shaped road pattern created by the north/south and east/west drives,
including the elliptical parkway/landscape median through the heart of the project.
The elevations indicate the proposed exterior finish and colors of the buildings and
a color schedule has been provided via ledger-sized color board. The applicant is
proposing four (4) colors throughout the entire development. The project's
proposed building colors are as follows:
Off White
Medium Tan
Dark Tan
Light Beige
Snow White
Roxbury Caramel
Richmond Gold
Sag Harbor Gray
OC-66
HC-42
HC-41
HC-9s
BM Paints
BM Paints
BM Paints
BM Paints
The majority of the body of the buildings would be painted white, with most of the
articulated wall portions and towers proposed to be painted the medium tan.
Certain sections of recessed wall are painted the light beige, while prominent wall
features along the lower building elevations are painted the dark tan.
A feature element in the design of the project is the elliptical shaped central plaza
that graces each side of the intersection of the two (2) drives. This feature is
labeled as the north and south commons on the plans, and includes a series of
walkways meandering around pockets of landscape and terminating at large scale
fountains (which the applicants proposes to fulfill the Arts in Public Places
requirement), along the north and south sides of the east/west cross street, at the
heart of the project. The architect has carried through the theme by designing the
footprint of the retail buildings rimming the elliptical feature to follow its perimeter,
thus providing a concave look to the row of storefronts. Above the retail space, the
large continuous balcony for the residential units above also conform to the shape
of the common area below to accentuate the unique design. Then the residential
units are proposed to be constructed in a staggered pattern, again to carry through
the design scheme below.
Signage:
Minimal project detail regarding proposed signage was shown with this submittal.
Staff recommends utilizing a Sign Program for the entire project to ensure
sustained continuity throughout the life of the project (see Exhibit "e' - Conditions
of Approval). All project signage shall conform to the regulations as set forth in
Chapter 9 (Community Design Plan) and Chapter 21 of the Land Development
Regulations, as formalized in an adopted Sign Program for this project.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Concurrent with the processing of this site plan application staff is proposing amendments to the mixed-
use zoning district regulations to implement recommendations from redevelopment plans and the
conclusions from recent workshops and hearings. The major change in the proposed code amendments is
the division of the Mixed Use-Low Intensity zoning district into three distinct low intensity districts; Mixed
Use-Low 1 (MU-Ll), Mixed Use-Low 2 (MU-L2) and Mixed Use-Low 3 (MU-L3). Specifically related to this
project is the new accommodation of supermarkets, changing the maximum size from 30,000 square feet
to 80,000 square feet, in part, to accommodate the subject Publix store within this project, and to
acknowledge our understanding of current trends and strategies of the large grocery store chains.
Other notable changes represented by the new districts include 1) building setbacks, increasing to 10 feet
on the sides and rear to reduce potential impacts upon adjacent properties; and 2) the introduction of the
Sky Exposure Plane provision that sets a building envelope that narrows uniformly around the building as
height increases. Simply stated, this requirement is a six-foot to one-foot (6' to 1') step-back slope applied
to each side of each project in a mixed-use district. This requirement is also intended to reduce potential
impacts on adjacent properties and the streetscape, by reducing building bulk without inhibiting flexibility
in design. This increased setback requirement appears to be satisfied on all sides of the proposed project
except at the northwest corner. With respect to building step-backs, although the relief proposed on
several of the elevations exceed the requirements of the new Mixed-use Low 3 district, those elevations
with no or minimal step-back must be reconsidered by the applicant and redesigned accordingly. As
required by the conditions of approval, the permit drawings must reflect the minor adjustments required to
meet the new minimum building setback of 10 feet, and new slope plane of 6' to 1'.
Staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval, contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request for Height Exception (HTEX 07-001) and all items noted within Exhibit "c" _
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

BACKGROUND
Proposal:
The Sunshine Square shopping center, which encompasses 14.42 acres at the
southwest corner of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway, is part of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Local
Retail Commercial (LRC) to Mixed-Use (MX) and rezone the property from
Community Commercial (C-3) to Mixed-Use Low Intensity 3 (MU-L3). Because of the
size of the property under consideration, the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) classifies the amendment as "large scale". A "large scale" amendment
is transmitted to DCA for their review and comment prior to City adoption. The City
Commission reviewed the LUAR at their July 5, 2006 meeting and voted to transmit
the amendment to DCA. The Department has completed their review and the
amendments are ready for adoption by the City Commission, as is the requisite site
plan.
The site plan shows the existing Sunshine Square shopping center being demolished
in phases (in order to relocate and accommodate as many of the existing tenants as
possible), and replaced with a mixed-use project. The site is divided into four (4)
quadrants by a central street running north/south between Woolbright Road and SE
18th Avenue and another running east/west from Federal Highway to the FEC
Railroad right-of-way. The north/south road has an elliptical median containing
landscaped areas. Sidewalks front arcaded retail structures on each side of the
street. Retail/office structures front on Woolbright Road, Federal Highway and the
east/west internal drive. The center of three of the quadrant buildings house parking
decks, while the remaining quadrant, located on the northwest corner of the site,
contains the relocated Publix supermarket under a parking deck. The details
of the site plan will be discussed in the body of the staff report.

north, across Woolbright Road (Las Ventanas), to coordinate the necessary
roadway and signalization improvements. No building permits are to be issued until
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division approves the study for traffic concurrency
purposes (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Utilities: The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach
County Utilities represents a portion of the City's potable water supply that would
support the needs of this project (projected to total 254,566 gallons per day).
Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required for the project,
dependent upon the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local
improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be
reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater
treatment capacity is currently available to serve the project total of 211,942
gallons per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity,
following approval of the site plan.
Police/Fire: Fire staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current-staffing levels would
be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. Infrastructure
requirements such as hydrants and roadways would be addressed during the
permitting process (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). Police staff indicated
that the service requirements of the department will be impacted by this
development and that additional officers and equipment will be needed to serve
this and other approved projects in the vicinity.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions
be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District has determined that adequate capacity exists to accommodate
the projected resident children.
Driveways: The project can be characterized as "urban infill, mixed-use" development whereby
front building setbacks are minimal and off-street parking is relegated to a
subordinate role. The site plan shows that the development would be divided into
four (4) distinct sections. The plans show that parking garages would proVide for
the majority of off-street parking spaces for the entire project. The garages are
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 4
intentionally proposed as hidden structures located within the core of the project
and virtually unseen from the major roadways. Likewise, the project is not
proposing traditional driveways or surface parking lots like that of "suburban"-type
of projects (where driveways connect to off-street parking located in front of the
buildings).
The site plan shows that vehicles would enter the site from three (3) locations. The
main entrances are proposed on Federal Highway near the center of the roadway
frontage and on Woolbright Road, again near the middle of that roadway frontage.
The Federal Highway entrance would have a deceleration lane for southbound
Federal traffic and no median cut for northbound traffic. Egress from this curb cut
would be limited to right hand turning movements only (southbound Federal
Highway). The Woolbright Road entrance would have an eastbound deceleration
lane and two (2) ingress and two (2) egress lanes, separated by a 12-foot
landscape island. This would be a full access entrance with a proposed traffic signal
aligned with the Woolbright Road entrance of the project to the north (Las
Ventanas). Motorists would be able to enter or exit this location from all directions.
The project's third entrance is proposed along SE 18th Avenue, at the southern
terminus of the Woolbright Road entry drive. This entrance would also provide
access to the entire site. The driveway opening would be 24 feet in width and
provide ingress/egress from a road with lower volumes of traffic. Lastly, there is an
exit drive proposed at the northwest corner of the site at Woolbright Road and the
railroad tracks that is designed as an "egress only" for the service/delivery area at
the rear of Publix. All driveway, drive aisles, and turning radius, internal to the
development, would be improved to conform to current city engineering standards.
Parking Facility: Off-street parking proposed within the development must meet the requirements in
Chapter 2, Section 11.H. of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
The project proposes a mix of residential, office and retail uses. One-bedroom
apartment units require one and one-half (1112) parking spaces. Two or more
bedroom units require two (2) parking spaces. The project proposes a total of 558
dwelling units (with a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms) and 18 live/work
townhouse units, in conjunction with 153,939 square feet of retail/office space.
When combined, the total parking requirements equal 1,854 spaces. The project
proposes 1,656 parking spaces, a deficiency of 198 parking spaces. However, the
code allows a mixed-use project to present a shared parking analysis in compliance
with the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) guidelines. The applicant submitted the
shared parking analysis prepared by their traffic consultant, TrafTech Engineering
Inc., indicating that the maximum number of parking spaces required for the
mixed-use project would be 1,656, based upon the greatest demand for parking
being a weekday evening at 8:00 PM. The analysis concludes that there would be
sufficient parking during the highest demand, with no excess. During the other
hours of the day (10:00 AM - 10:00 PM), the parking demand ranges between
1,300 and the 1,656 parking spaces noted above at the 8:00 PM hour. As in all
cases, the City Commission must accept the shared parking analysis when
approving a site plan (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 5
The parking spaces would be provided as follows: 1,611 parking garage spaces,
and 45 on-street parking spaces. As previously discussed, the site is divided into
four quadrants by bisecting streets. According to the site plan (Sheet A1.01), the
Phase IA parcel (NE quadrant) would contain 31,675 square feet of retail/office
space. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, which is utilized when
analyzing mixed-use projects, this building would require 159 parking spaces. The
building also accommodates 126 residential units (42 -1 BR units). Based upon 1.5
spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 231 parking spaces would be
required for the residential units. Therefore, 390 parking spaces are required in
Phase IA and 312 are provided as a result of the shared parking analysis. The
Phase IS parcel (SE quadrant) would contain 26,235 square feet of retail/office
space. Using the same methodology used for Phase lA, this building would require
132 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 102 residential units (30 - 1
BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 189
parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 321 parking
spaces are required in Phase IB and 281 are provided as a result of the shared
parking analysis.
The Phase IIA parcel (NW quadrant) would contain 81,684 square feet of
retail/office space, which includes the proposed 54,064 square foot new Publix
store. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, this building would
require 408 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 90 residential units
(24 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other,
168 parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 576
parking spaces are required in Phase IIA and 1,039 are provided as a result of the
shared parking analysis. However, the parking garage associated with Phase IIA is
connected to and provides the required parking for Phase lIB, immediately to the
south. Phase lIB is the southwestern-most parcel and would contain 14,345 square
feet of retail space. Again, based upon parking calculations for shopping centers,
this building would require 72 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 258
residential units (58 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2
spaces for all other, 451 parking spaces would be required for these residential
units. Additionally, there are 18 live/work townhouse units proposed around the
south and east sides of the building which require 2.5 parking spaces for each unit,
thus necessitating 45 more parking spaces. Therefore, with the 568 parking spaces
required in Phase lIB plus the 576 in Phase IIA, a total of 1,144 parking spaces are
required and 1,063 are provided as a result of the shared parking analysis.
Should the applicant propose to place a gate within any or all of the parking
structures to separate the residential parking from the general use parking, the
applicant shall be required to proVide an updated shared parking analysis to ensure
that the assumptions made in the analysis are not voided by such action (see
"Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Landscaping:
The Site Plan tabular data (Sheet A1.01) indicates that the proposed pervious areas
would equal 21.2% of the site. The MU-L3 zoning district requires a minimum 20%
pervious area, which is satisfied with the proposed site plan. The Landscape Notes
(Sheet TDs) indicates the subject site currently contains 153 trees, 33 of which
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 6
would remain in place, 66 of which would be relocated on site, and 54 designated
for removal. Most of those to be removed are in poor condition and the applicant
will be required to replace the total caliper inches of those trees removed with new
specimens. The landscape plan plant list proposes the installation of 92 new
canopy trees plus the relocation of 40 existing trees and the retention of 6, for a
total of 138 canopy trees. 341 new palm trees are proposed, as well as 54 existing
or relocated palms, for a total of 396. The plan also depicts 9,555 shrub and
groundcover plants. According to the plant list, 50% of the canopy trees would be
native and 57% of the palm trees would be native. The landscape plan also
proposes in excess of 50% native shrubs / hedges / accent plants. The plant list
indicates the following species to be utilized throughout the project: Medjool Date
palms, Sabal, Coconut and Royal palms, Purple Glory, Live Oak, Black Olive,
Mahogany and Pigeon Plum trees, Dwarf Schefflera, Cocoplum, Ixora, Hibiscus,
Plumbago, Viburnum shrubs, as well as, Crinum Lily and Annuals.
c
Royal palm trees are proposed in front of the buildings (along Federal Highway and
Woolbright Road) and are proposed to be installed at an overall height of 22 feet.
Staff recommends that the Royal palm trees along these thoroughfares be installed
at approximately half of the building height, in the range of 30-35 feet (see "Exhibit
C" - Conditions of Approval). These mixed-use buildings would be located close to
the east and south property lines and therefore, would be consistent with the intent
of the Land Development Regulations of the MU-L3 zoning district. However, the
landscape plan still would provide for plant material along these main roadways to
help break up the building mass. In fact, these areas would be 10 feet in width to
accommodate the installation of the larger-size palm trees.
The south landscape buffer, along SE 18th Avenue and the live/work townhomes,
would be approximately 13 feet in depth at its narrowest point. The south buffer is
proposed to include Laurel Oak, Green Buttonwood and Bougainvillea trees, Royal
and Cabbage palms, and among others, hibiscus, dwarf schefflera and wax jasmine
shrubs.
Although not dimensioned, it appears as though the west landscape buffer adjacent
to the Florida East Coast railroad right-of-way would vary in width from six (6) feet
at its narrowest point (behind Publix) to approximately 70 feet, near the
southwestern portion of the site. Live Oak trees and Sabal palms are the
predominant trees proposed for this buffer, along with Cocoplum hedge material.
Additionally, there is a water feature with arbors and a variety of landscape
material proposed along the west buffer, at the west terminus of the main
east/west drive through the site.
The interior of the site would basically contain the same plant material as the
perimeter buffers. The interior street system would have intermittent, parallel (on-
street) parking spaces and wide sidewalks that accommodate a pedestrian friendly
Window-shopping environment, landscape cutouts and adequate area for outdoor
seating/dining.
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204

Building and Site: The site plan proposes a mix of residential, office and commercial uses. The
commercial/office square footage would total 14.3% of the total building area.
Building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements
when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The maximum
allowed density of the Mixed-Use land use category would be 40 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed project density would be 39.94 dwelling units per acre. As
previously mentioned, the existing shopping center would be replaced with four (4)
seven (7)-story mixed-use buildings, three (3) of which wrap interior parking
structures. The depth of the parcel extends westward from Federal Highway to the
Florida East Coast railroad tracks. The subject property fronts on two (2) major
roadways (Federal Highway and Woolbright Road). The parcel located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road
(approximately half an acre in size) is not included in the request for land use
amendment/rezoning and site plan approval. This corner parcel contains a gas
station and is classified Local Retail Commercial and zoned C-3 Community
Commercial. The proposed building in Phase IA would wrap around the gas station
parcel with retail on the first floor and residential units above and parking structure
inside. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the property lines and
then the building steps back approximately 15 feet further from Federal Highway
and 7 feet further from Woolbright Road, at a height of approximately 30 feet. The
MU-L3 zoning district allows for a maximum building height of 75 feet, for
properties not abutting the Mixed-Use High (MU-H) district. The elevations (Sheet
A1.06) of the Phase IA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the
roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. This
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet. While the stair/elevator
towers are eligible for a Height Exception, the roofline itself cannot exceed the 75-
foot threshold. The applicant has been made aware of this situation and has
agreed to modify the height of the structure to conform at time of permitting, and
has applied for a Height Exception for the eligible towers (HTEX 07-001), which is
being processed concurrently with the site plan. Staff has recommended that the
building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height
and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IS (SE quadrant of the site) would be constructed
immediately north of a parcel (approximately 1 acre in size) classified Local Retail
Commercial and zoned C-3 Community Commercial and containing a small strip
commercial shopping plaza and residential property, fronting on SE 18th Avenue,
and not included in this request for land use amendment/rezoning and site plan
approval. This seven (7)-story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first
floor and residential units above and parking structure inside. The south side of this
building does not however have the parking structure wrapped with storefronts,
and the condominium units/recreation amenity does not begin until the fourth floor.
A 10-foot setback has been depicted to proVide the necessary landscape buffer, at
the appropriate height. Staff recommends that applicant provide the necessary
landscape at varying heights to assist in the screening of the three levels of parking
(see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval). The first and second floors are setback
10 feet from the east property line, like in Phase IA and then the building appears
to step back at an angle, between 10 and 25 feet further from Federal Highway, at
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 8
a height of approximately 30 feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase IB
mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the roofline with a total height
to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. Like the Phase IA building, this
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended
that the building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IIA (NW quadrant of the site) would house the
relocated Publix. Fronting the Publix on Woolbright Road would be office uses on
the first floor with residential above to the 7th floor. Wrapping around the Publix on
the east side is retail on the first floor and residential units above, with one level of
parking deck above the Publix and a bridge connection to the interior parking
structure in Phase lIB. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the
north property line abutting Woolbright Road and then the building steps back
approximately 12 feet further, at a height of approximately 27 feet. The elevations
(Sheet Al.06) of the Phase IIA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to
the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet.
Like the previous two (2) phases, this would not comply with the height limitation
of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that the building be modified by the two (2)
feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height and placed a condition to that effect in
the Conditions of Approval. On the ground level, in between the office/residential
structure facing Woolbright Road and the Publix building, is a service court for
deliveries, refuse collection and other utility purposes that is screened from the
residential units above by the parking deck connecting the Publix building to the
office/residential structure facing Woolbright Road.
Lastly, the proposed building in Phase lIB (SW quadrant of the site) and current
location of Publix, would be the last phase to be constructed, once Publix relocated
into its new building and the old structure could be demolished. This seven (7)-
story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first floor and residential
units above along the northern portion of the building on the east side. The
remainder of the east fa~ade and south side would be live/work units, with regular
condominium units above. The live/work units would be setback approximately 12
from the SE 18th Avenue right-of-way and then the building steps back
approximately 10 feet further from SE 18th Avenue, at a height of approximately 27
feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase lIB mixed-use structure, depict the
height at 80 feet to the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the
stair/elevator towers at 94 feet. Like all of the previous phases this building would
not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that
the building be modified by the five (5) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
Design:
As noted previously, the proposed development can be generally described as
being separated into four (4) quadrants of similarly designed seven (7) story
structures. The proposed architecture could be described as contemporary design,
with varying rooflines and fac;ade step backs for interest and shadowing. Also
noteworthy is that the project parking would be virtually hidden from most all views
and is considered to be a subordinate, mostly unobtrusive element of the plan.
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204

Staff recommends that those areas in which the parking garage is exposed to the
exterior of the project, especially abutting the gas station, the
commercial/residential to the south and along the west elevation, the garage
openings be enhanced with decorative metal work, decorative shutters, awnings,
and in some instances landscaping (see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Vehicular traffic is contained within the internal framework of the project, utilizing
the cross-shaped road pattern created by the north/south and east/west drives,
including the elliptical parkway/landscape median through the heart of the project.
The elevations indicate the proposed exterior finish and colors of the buildings and
a color schedule has been provided via ledger-sized color board. The applicant is
proposing four (4) colors throughout the entire development. The project's
proposed building colors are as follows:
Off White
Medium Tan
Dark Tan
Light Beige
Snow White
Roxbury Caramel
Richmond Gold
Sag Harbor Gray
OC-66
HC-42
HC-41
HC-9s
BM Paints
BM Paints
BM Paints
BM Paints
The majority of the body of the buildings would be painted white, with most of the
articulated wall portions and towers proposed to be painted the medium tan.
Certain sections of recessed wall are painted the light beige, while prominent wall
features along the lower building elevations are painted the dark tan.
A feature element in the design of the project is the elliptical shaped central plaza
that graces each side of the intersection of the two (2) drives. This feature is
labeled as the north and south commons on the plans, and includes a series of
walkways meandering around pockets of landscape and terminating at large scale
fountains (which the applicants proposes to fulfill the Arts in Public Places
requirement), along the north and south sides of the east/west cross street, at the
heart of the project. The architect has carried through the theme by designing the
footprint of the retail buildings rimming the elliptical feature to follow its perimeter,
thus providing a concave look to the row of storefronts. Above the retail space, the
large continuous balcony for the residential units above also conform to the shape
of the common area below to accentuate the unique design. Then the residential
units are proposed to be constructed in a staggered pattern, again to carry through
the design scheme below.
Signage:
Minimal project detail regarding proposed signage was shown with this submittal.
Staff recommends utilizing a Sign Program for the entire project to ensure
sustained continuity throughout the life of the project (see Exhibit"C" - Conditions
of Approval). All project signage shall conform to the regulations as set forth in
Chapter 9 (Community Design Plan) and Chapter 21 of the Land Development
Regulations, as formalized in an adopted Sign Program for this project.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Concurrent with the processing of this site plan application staff is proposing amendments to the mixed-
use zoning district regulations to implement recommendations from redevelopment plans and the
conclusions from recent workshops and hearings. The major change in the proposed code amendments is
the division of the Mixed Use-Low Intensity zoning district into three distinct low intensity districts; Mixed
Use-Low 1 (MU-L1), Mixed Use-Low 2 (MU-L2) and Mixed Use-Low 3 (MU-L3). Specifically related to this
project is the new accommodation of supermarkets, changing the maximum size from 30,000 square feet
to 80,000 square feet, in part, to accommodate the subject Publix store within this project, and to
acknowledge our understanding of current trends and strategies of the large grocery store chains.
Other notable changes represented by the new districts include 1) building setbacks, increasing to 10 feet
on the sides and rear to reduce potential impacts upon adjacent properties; and 2) the introduction of the
Sky Exposure Plane provision that sets a building envelope that narrows uniformly around the building as
height increases. Simply stated, this requirement is a six-foot to one-foot (6' to 1') step-back slope applied
to each side of each project in a mixed-use district. This requirement is also intended to reduce potential
impacts on adjacent properties and the streetscape, by reducing building bulk without inhibiting flexibility
in design. This increased setback requirement appears to be satisfied on all sides of the proposed project
except at the northwest corner. With respect to building step-backs, although the relief proposed on
several of the elevations exceed the requirements of the new Mixed-use Low 3 district, those elevations
with no or minimal step-back must be reconsidered by the applicant and redesigned accordingly. As
required by the conditions of approval, the permit drawings must reflect the minor adjustments required to
meet the new minimum building setback of 10 feet, and new slope plane of 6' to 1'.
Staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval, contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request for Height Exception (HTEX 07-001) and all items noted within Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.
