Principal Planner
February 17, 2004
(Amended) March 23, 2004
DATE:
SUBJECT: Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
NOPC Amendment #2
NATURE OF REQUEST
Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) is a partially built-out Development of Regional Impact
(DRI) comprised of 87.4 - acres, zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Community
Commercial (C-3). It is located on the southeast comer of Gateway Boulevard and Congress
Avenue (See attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map). The applicant, Compson Associates of
Boynton II, LLC, is requesting a second amendment to the Motorola DRI Development Order
(D.O.) adopted January 7, 1980 by Ordinance No. 79-36.
Amendment #2 proposes to change the Motorola DRI entitlements by the conversion of 500
multi-family residential units, 63,500 square feet of commercial space, 450,000 square feet of
office space and 128,000 square feet of warehouse space to a mix of uses, including 1,551
multi-family residential units, 213,000 square feet of commercial space and 247,800 square feet
of office use. The request also proposes to change the name of the DRI from Motorola to
Renaissance Commons. There are no changes proposed to the DRI phasing, commencement
date or build-out date of 2010, and no lands are being added to the DRI boundaries (see
attached Exhibit "B" - Substantial Deviation Determination Chart).
BACKGROUND
An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost govemed by
Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06 (19) - Substantial Deviations. The applicant has submitted a
Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) in accordance with the statutory requirements. The Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
(TCRPC) and the City review the NOPC. The DCA and the TCRPC review the proposed NOPC
and provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19).
The Regional Planning Council has verbally expressed little concem over this NOPC, as they
have had several meetings with the applicant and understand the project is a mixed-use
concept, closely following that of NOPC #1 which they reviewed in 2002, and that they do not
intend to formally respond in writing. The adopting Ordinance has been amended and updated
to reflect that the TCRPC has no comments on NOPC #2 and that a written response will not be
Motorola - DRIA 03-001IMPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
forthcoming. The major changes involve a transfer of allotted square footages between the
approved uses and a use conversion matrix which allows up to a thirty (30)% change In
Intensity, while remaining within the approved average daily trips (ADT) and peak hour trips
approved with the original DRI. A letter from the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT)
was forwarded to the TCRPC delineating their concems with the traffic methodology utilized by
the applicant. These Issues are discussed below In the section entitled "Regional Impacts". The
traffic consultant for Renaissance Commons has prepared a response to FOOT comments. As
of this staff report, FOOT has not had ample time to respond to the new data. Additionally,
several conversations have been conducted with DCA. They have Indicated that they have no
objection to the proposed change, but will subsequently be reviewing the associated
Comprehensive Plan amendments for consistency, once received.
The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 1.5, Sec. 4.3A requires a preliminary review
by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DR!. Chapter 380.06 F.S.
requires that the local goveming body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC.
The City Commission is required to detennlne whether the proposed change to the Motorola
DRlls or is not a substantial deviation as defined In Chapter 380.06 (19). If It Is detennlned that
the requested change Is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant to
the statutory requirements. If the City Commission detennines that the proposed change is not a
substantial deviation, they may take action to approve or deny the requested change.
The original DRI Development Order adopted a Three-Phase Master Plan (see Exhibit "C" -
Motorola Conceptual, Master Plan ADA 1979). The first amendment to the DRI was approved by
the City Commission on December 17, 2002, converting the Motorola entitlements from
825,000 square feet of Industrial and office use to 500 multi-family residential units, 63,500
square feet of commercial space, 450,000 square feet of office space and 128,000 square feet
of warehouse space. The review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the
changes to the Master Plan for Motorola. In addition to the state statutes, staff has reviewed the
Master Plan in accordance with Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned
Industrial Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval. First review comments were
generated and the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed the Master Plan changes on
January 27, 2004.
ANALYSIS
Notice of ProDosed Chanae (NOPC) - Substantial Deviation
The criteria for detennining if a proposed change to a DRlls a substantial deviation are outlined
in Chapter 380.06 (19). In reviewing the statute section staff detennined that one of the criteria
apply to the proposed changes to the Motorola DR!. These criteria, which are applicable for
review of the proposed changes is provided in Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5., which states: "The
following changes to an approved development of regional impact shall be presumed to create a
substantial deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing
evidence".
Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the
contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous Increases and decreases
of at least two of the uses within an authorized multi-use development of regional
Impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified In
380.0651(3){c), (d), (f) and (g) and residential use.

Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
As part of the NOPC application, the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation
Determination Chart". The applicant has provided an updated chart (see Exhibit "B").
Amendment #2 Involves changes to all of the use categories approved in Amendment
#1: residential, commercial, office, and warehouse (storage & distribution). This proposal
will eliminate the warehouse component while adding 1,001 multi-family residential units,
adding 149,500 square feet of commercial while simultaneously reducing the office
component by 202,200 square feet. The proposed Increases and decreases in square
footages are presumed to maintain the vested traffic generation level of 13,020 average
daily trips (ADT).
Conclusion
The proposed changes delineated In Amendment #2 are presumed to be a substantial deviation
per Chapter 380.06 (19) of the Florida Statutes. The applicant has provided the Substantial
Deviation Determination Chart and a traffic study for review. Palm Beach County Traffic
Engineering determined In a December 30, 2003 letter that NOPC #2 is projected to generate
less peak hour trips than what was previously approved, and therefore meets the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
Master Plan Modification
This is the second amendment proposed for the Motorola DRI adopted in early 1980. The
Florida Statute govemlng the DRI process, Chapter 380.06(19), provides for and anticipates
amendments stating "There are a variety of reasons why a developer may wish to propose
changes to an approved development of regional impact, including changed market conditions".
These changing market conditions are evident in the history of this DRI, which was planned and
developed by Motorola for their exciusive use. Motorola began scaling back its operations at the
existing facility In 2001. In October of 2002, Motorola sold the property, and it has since been
purchased by the current applicant.
The Motorola site is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Community Commercial
(C-3). The applicant proposes to create 41.24 acres of Mixed Use designation and 45.74 acres
of Multi-family residential. The Mixed Use is proposed along the Congress Avenue corridor,
wrapping around the comer along the Gateway Boulevard corridor and southward through the
center of the development. The Multi-family residential development is proposed along the Lake
Worth Drainage District (LWDD) E-4 Canal and the Boynton Canal (C-16), as well as between
the Mixed Use along Congress Avenue and the Mixed Use running through the heart of the
development. Two additional access points are proposed along Congress Avenue (see Exhibit
"D" - Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) DRI NOPC #2 Master Development Plan).
Impacts
The proposed changes to the Master Plan were analyzed from two perspectives. The first is the
potential for creating additional regional or local impacts. The seconq Is the consistency and
compatibility of the proposed changes with the regulations and policies adopted by the City
through th~ Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies
such as the Visions 20/20 plan.
3
Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
Realonal
A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are
considered regional In nature. Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if
the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally
identified and mitigated. In the case of the Motorola DRI the major Issue Is whether there will be
an Increase In traffic beyond what was originally approved (13,020 average daily trips and 1,634
peak hour trips) resulting from the requested land use changes.
The applicant prepared a traffic study that was transmitted to the Palm Beach County Traffic
Division for their customary review and approval regarding concurrency. The County formally
responded to the study in writing, Indicating compliance with the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County.
As mentioned earlier, FOOT has indicated that the traffic analysis submitted for the NOPC was
insufficient In the areas of trip distribution, calculation of pass-by trip reduction, ciarificatlon of
the residential component of the conversion matrix and Intersection & driveway analyses. The
applicanfs traffic consultant has prepared the Information and gathered the data requested by
FOOT and forwarded It to each review body. All agencies will review the new information and
proVide comments as soon as possible.
Local
The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts. The development order
for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested change is within the jurisdiction of
the City. As such, the CIty's main focus is local issues and Impacts. Typical areas identified for
review regarding potential local impacts are discussed below:
Traffic - The traffic study methodology is a local concem as well. Palm Beach County has
determined there are no additional local Impacts associated with NOPC #2. The Master Plan
proposes two additional entrances on Congress Avenue. Permits from Palm Beach County
are required for these entrances. Tuming movements and signalization issues will be
evaluated and addressed at the site plan stage.
Utilities - Based on the original Motorola Application for Development Approval the DRI is
vested for 127,000 gallons per day (gpd) for both water and sewer. The City projected
demand for the proposed development in NOPC #1 at 294,215 gpd for water and 255,865
gpd for sewer. This calculation Is based on the formula In Chapter 26 of the Code of
Ordinances. For NOPC #2, demand is projected to be 674,967 gpd for water and 560,193
gpd for sewer. Due to the magnitude of the increase above the prior approval, the Utilities
Department Is requiring that an evaluation of the off-site water and sewer service be
conducted by the City at the applicant's expense. Any required improvements to the water
and sewer systems and related levels of service will be bome by the developer. Additionally,
the Utilities Department is continuing to refine the conversion matrix figures for each use
proposed by the applicant and will have the final say on the exact numbers for each. These
recommendations are addressed in Exhibit "E" - Conditions of Approval.

Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
Drainaae - Drainage will also be reviewed In detail as part of the site plan approvals, and
must satisfy all requirements of the city and local drainage permitting authorities. The
applicant submitted a copy of the current South Florida Water Management permit for the
existing site. This permit will require modification based on the proposed development plan
for the site.
Environmental - The CIty's Forester/Environmentalist Indicated in NOPC #1 that there were
existing Burrowing Owl nests located on the Motorola property in the area of the proposed
change. The applicant submitted a Migratory Bird Nest Removal Application with the State
of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), as required, and a permit
for Nest Burrow Removal was issued by the agency. A 100% site survey was conducted
and three nest burrows were identified and excavated on January 14, 2004, in accordance
with the permit. The City Is In receipt of the Final Report from the FFWCC Indicating that
each of the burrows were determined to be "inactive", containing no eggs or flightless
young.
School Concurrencv - The NOPC includes a request for 1,551 dwelling units, an increase of
1,001 from NOPC #1. This requires concurrency approval from the School District of Palm
Beach County. The applicant submitted a concurrency application to the School District and
was approved for concurrency. A copy of the approval form was submitted to the Planning
and Zoning DMslon.
Parks and Recreation - Residential units are also subject to the city's park and recreation
impact fee. The fee will be calculated based on the type of units constructed and will be due
at the time the first building permit is Issued for the residential portion of the proposed
development. The City required that the applicant provide a greenway/pathway easement
along the LWDD E-4 Canal to the east and the Boynton Canal C-16 to the south when
Phase I of the Renaissance Commons site plan was approved.
Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies
In order for the proposed development to go forward the land use and zoning are being
simultaneously changed on the site. The applicant proposes to change the land use from
Industrial (I) and Local Retail Commercial (LRC) to a new category, Development of Regional
Impact (DRI) and change the zoning from Planned Industrial District (PID) and C-3 (Community
Commercial) to a new category, Suburban Mixed Use (SMU).
The applicable Comprehensive Plan poliCIes in support of the proposed amendment are:
Objective 1.15 of the Future Land Use Element and ItS policies provide the basis for
approval of mixed use development In the city, as follows:
''The City shall encourage planned development projects which are sensitive to
characteristics of the site and to surrounding land uses, and mlxed-use projects
In locations which are appropriate, and utilize other Innovative methods of
regulating land development"
City staff is proposing an amendment to the Land Development Regulations for a Suburban
Mixed Use zoning district, to be utilized for this and other similar-sized mixed-use projects that
5
Motorola - DRIA 03-0011MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
will not be located In the City's adopted Community Redevelopment Area. In addition, the
creation of a Development of Regional Impact land use classification, and the companion
Comprehensive Plan text amendment, will provide site-specific ranges and intensities of uses
allowed.
Policy 1.19.2 provides the directions for re-cteslgnatlon of lands classified as "Industrial"
on the Future Land Use Map:
"The City shall provide continued effort to allow for Industrial acreage; however,
that land designated "Industrial" on the currently adopted Future Land Use Map
may be converted to commercial or residential designations If the conversion (I)
would generate a range of employment choices for current and future residents,
provide goods and services of regional Importance, or would provide
opportunities for the City to meet Its long-range housing goals; and (II) Is based
upon adequate data Including market analysis."
The proposed development for the site Is consistent with the cited policy in that it will provide
both commercial and residential development, is expected to generate employment
opportunities and provide goods and services, as well as add to the range of housing
opportunities in the City.
The adoption of Motorola NOPC Amendment #2 Is conditioned upon the approval of the land
use amendment and rezoning request (see Exhibit "E" - Conditions of Approval).
Conclusion
The only regional Issue of significance Is traffic. It is a significant issue on which both the
Substantial Deviation detennlnation and concurrency approval are based. Palm Beach County
Traffic Engineering has already detennlned NOPC #2 would comply with the Traffic
Perfonnance Standards of Palm Beach County. Staff believes the additional data and analyses
provided by the traffic consultant will help resolve any outstanding Issues. local impacts will be
addressed In the Conditions of Approval for the NOPC #2.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 380.06(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has
demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change Is not a substantial
deviation requiring additional development of regional Impact review. Resolution of any traffic
issues will be required to be resolved before any pennits will be Issued. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of DRIA 03-001 subject to the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit
"E-,
Regarding the proposed modifications to the Motorola Master Plan staff recommends approval
subject to the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit "E".

SUBJECT: Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
NOPC Amendment #2
NATURE OF REQUEST
Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) is a partially built-out Development of Regional Impact
(DRI) comprised of 87.4 - acres, zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Community
Commercial (C-3). It is located on the southeast corner of Gateway Boulevard and Congress
Avenue (See attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map). The applicant, Compson Associates of
Boynton II, LLC, is requesting a second amendment to the Motorola DRI Development Order
(D.O.) adopted January 7, 1980 by Ordinance No. 79-36.
Amendment #2 proposes to change the Motorola DRI entitlements by the conversion of 500
multi-family residential units, 63,500 square feet of commercial space, 450,000 square feet of
office space and 128,000 square feet of warehouse space to a mix of uses, including 1,551
multi-family residential units, 213,000 square feet of commercial space and 247,800 square feet
of office use. The request also proposes to change the name of the DRI from Motorola to
Renaissance Commons. There are no changes proposed to the DRI phasing, commencement
date or build-out date of 2010, and no lands are being added to the DRI boundaries (see
attached Exhibit "B" - Substantial Deviation Determination Chart).
BACKGROUND
An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost governed by
Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06 (19) - Substantial Deviations. The applicant has submitted a
Notice of Proposed Change (NO PC) in accordance with the statutory requirements. The Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
(TCRPC) and the City review the NOPC. The DCA and the TCRPC review the proposed NOPC
and provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19).
The Regional Planning Council has not responded to the NOPC request in writing as of the
preparation of this staff report. Verbally, they expressed little concern over this NOPC, as they
have had several meetings with the applicant and understand the project is a mixed-use
concept, closely following that of NOPC #1 which they reviewed in 2002. The major changes
involve a transfer of allotted square footages between the approved uses and a use conversion
Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
matrix which allows up to a thirty (30)% change in intensity, while remaining within the approved
average daily trips (ADT) and peak hour trips approved with the original DR!. A letter from the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was forwarded to the TCRPC delineating their
concerns with the traffic methodology utilized by the applicant. These issues are discussed
below in the section entitled "Regional Impacts". The traffic consultant for Renaissance
Commons has prepared a response to FDOT comments. As of this staff report, FDOT has not
had ample time to respond to the new data. Additionally, no response has yet been received
from the DCA.
The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 1.5, Sec. 4.3A requires a preliminary review
by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DR!. Chapter 380.06 F.S.
requires that the local governing body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC.
The City Commission is required to determine whether the proposed change to the Motorola
DRI is or is not a substantial deviation as defined in Chapter 380.06 (19). If it is determined that
the requested change is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant to
the statutory requirements. If the City Commission determines that the proposed change is not a
substantial deviation, they may take action to approve or deny the requested change.
The original DRI Development Order adopted a Three-Phase Master Plan (see Exhibit "C" -
Motorola Conceptual Master Plan ADA 1979). The first amendment to the DRI was approved by
the City Commission on December 17, 2002, converting the Motorola entitlements from
825,000 square feet of industrial and office use to 500 multi-family residential units, 63,500
square feet of commercial space, 450,000 square feet of office space and 128,000 square feet
of warehouse space. The review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the
changes to the Masler Plan for Motorola. In addition to the state statutes, staff has reviewed the
Master Plan in accordance with Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned
Industrial Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval. First review comments were
generated and the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed the Master Plan changes on
January 27.2004.
ANALYSIS
Notice of ProDosed Chanae (NO PC) - Substantial Deviation
The criteria for determining if a proposed change to a DRI is a substantial deviation are outlined
in Chapter 380.06 (19). In reviewing the statute section staff determined that one of the criteria
apply to the proposed changes to the Motorola DR!. These criteria, which are applicable for
review of the proposed changes is provided in Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5., which states: "The
following changes to an approved development of regional impact shall be presumed to create a
substantial deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing
evidence" .
Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the
contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases and decreases
of at least two of the uses within an authorized multi-use development of regional
impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified in
380.0651 (3)(c), (d), (f) and (g) and residential use.
As part of the NOPC application, the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation
Determination Chart". The applicant has provided an updated chart (see Exhibit "B").
2
Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
Amendment #2 involves changes to all of the use categories approved in Amendment
#1: residential, commercial, office, and warehouse (storage & distribution). This proposal
will eliminate the warehouse component while adding 1,001 multi-family residential units,
adding 149,500 square feet of commercial while simultaneously reducing the office
component by 202,200 square feet. The proposed increases and decreases in square
footages are presumed to maintain the vested traffic generation level of 13,020 average
daily trips (ADT).
Conclusion
The proposed changes delineated in Amendment #2 are presumed to be a substantial deviation
per Chapter 380.06 (19) of the Florida Statutes. The applicant has provided the Substantial
Deviation Determination Chart and a traffic study for review. Palm Beach County Traffic
Engineering determined in a December 30, 2003 letter that NOPC #2 is projected to generate
less peak hour trips than what was previously approved, and therefore meets the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
Master Plan Modification
This is the second amendment proposed for the Motorola DRI adopted in early 1980. The
Florida Statute governing the DRI process, Chapter 380.06(19), provides for and anticipates
amendments stating "There are a variety of reasons why a developer may wish to propose
changes to an approved development of regional impact, including changed market conditions".
These changing market conditions are evident in the history of this DRI, which was planned and
developed by Motorola for their exclusive use. Motorola began scaling back its operations at the
existing facility in 2001. In October of 2002, Motorola sold the property, and it has since been
purchased by the current applicant.
The Motorola site is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Community Commercial
(C-3). The applicant proposes to create 41.24 acres of Mixed Use designation and 45.74 acres
of Multi-family residential. The Mixed Use is proposed along the Congress Avenue corridor,
wrapping around the corner along the Gateway Boulevard corridor and soulhward through the
center of the development. The Multi-family residential development is proposed along the Lake
Worth Drainage District (LWDD) E-4 Canal and the Boynton Canal (C-16), as well as between
the Mixed Use along Congress Avenue and the Mixed Use running through the heart of the
development. Two additional access points are proposed along Congress Avenue (see Exhibit
"D" - Renaissance Commons (fka Motorola) DRI NOPC #2 Master Development Plan).
Impacts
The proposed changes to the Master Plan were analyzed from two perspectives. The first is the
potential for creating additional regional or local impacts. The second is the consistency and
compatibility of the proposed changes with the regulations and policies adopted by the City
through the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies
such as the Visions 20/20 plan.
3
Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
Reqional
A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are
considered regional in nature. Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if
the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally
identified and mitigated. In the case of the Motorola DRI the major issue is whether there will be
an increase in traffic beyond what was originally approved (13,020 average daily trips and 1,634
peak hour trips) resulting from the requested land use changes.
The applicant prepared a traffic study that was transmitted to the Palm Beach County Traffic
Division for their customary review and approval regarding concurrency. The County formally
responded to Ihe study in writing, indicating compliance with the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County.
As mentioned earlier, FDOT has indicated that the traffic analysis submitted for the NOPC was
insufficient in the areas of trip distribution, calculation of pass-by trip reduction, clarification of
the residential component of the conversion matrix and intersection & driveway analyses. The
applicant's traffic consultant has prepared the information and gathered the data requested by
FDOT and forwarded it to each review body. All agencies will review the new information and
provide comments as soon as possible.
Local
The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts. The development order
for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested change is within the jurisdiction of
the City. As such, the City's main focus is local issues and impacts. Typical areas identified for
review regarding potential local impacts are discussed below:
Traffic - The traffic study methodology is a local concern as well. Palm Beach County has
determined there are no additional local impacts associated with NOPC #2. The Master Plan
proposes two additional entrances on Congress Avenue. Permits from Palm Beach County
are required for these entrances. Turning movements and signalization issues will be
evaluated and addressed at the site plan stage.
Utilities - Based on the original Motorola Application for Development Approval the DRI is
vested for 127,000 gallons per day (gpd) for both water and sewer. The City projected
demand for the proposed development in NOPC #1 at 294,215 gpd for water and 255,865
gpd for sewer. This calculation is based on the formula in Chapter 26 of the Code of
Ordinances. For NOPC #2, demand is projected to be 674,967 gpd for water and 560,193
gpd for sewer. Due to the magnitude of the increase above the prior approval, the Utilities
Department is requiring that an evaluation of the off-site water and sewer service be
conducted by the City at the applicant's expense. Any required improvements to the water
and sewer systems and related levels of service will be borne by the developer. Additionally,
the Utilities Department is continuing to refine the conversion matrix figures for each use
proposed by the applicant and will have the final say on the exact numbers for each. These
recommendations are addressed in Exhibit "E" - Conditions of Approval.
Drainaqe - Drainage will also be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan approvals, and
must satisfy all requirements of the city and local drainage permitting authorities. The
applicant submitted a copy of the current South Florida Water Management permit for the
4
Motorola - DRIA 03-001/MPMD 03-002
Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
existing site. This permit will require modification based on the proposed development plan
for the site.
Environmental - The City's Forester/Environmentalist indicated in NOPC #1 that there were
existing Burrowing Owl nests located on the Motorola property in the area of the proposed
change. The applicant submitted a Migratory Bird Nest Removal Application with the State
of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), as required, and a permit
for Nest Burrow Removal was issued by the agency. A 100% site survey was conducted
and three nest burrows were identified and excavated on January 14, 2004, in accordance
with the permit. The City is in receipt of the Final Report from the FFWCC indicating that
each of the burrows were determined to be "inactive", containing no eggs or flightless
young.
School Concurrencv - The NOPC includes a request for 1,551 dwelling units, an increase of
1,001 from NOPC #1. This requires concurrency approval from the School District of Palm
Beach County. The applicant submitted a concurrency application to the School District and
was approved for concurrency. A copy of the approval form was submitted to the Planning
and Zoning Division.
Parks and Recreation - Residential units are also subject to the city's park and recreation
impact fee. The fee will be calculaled based on the type of units constructed and will be due
at the time the first building permit is issued for the residential portion of the proposed
development. The City required that the applicant provide a greenway/pathway easement
along the LWDD E-4 Canal to the east and the Boynton Canal C-16 to the south when
Phase I of the Renaissance Commons site plan was approved.
Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies
In order for the proposed development to go forward the land use and zoning are being
simultaneously changed on the site. The applicant proposes to change the land use from
Industrial (I) and Local Retail Commercial (LRC) to a new category, Development of Regional
Impact (DRI) and change the zoning from Planned Industrial District (PI D) and C-3 (Community
Commercial) to a new category, Suburban Mixed Use (SMU).
The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies in support of the proposed amendment are:
Objective 1.15 of the Future Land Use Element and its policies provide the basis for
approval of mixed use development in the city, as follows:
"The City shall encourage planned development projects which are sensitive to
characteristics of the site and to surrounding land uses, and mixed-use projects
in locations which are appropriate, and utilize other innovative methods of
regulating land development."
City staff is proposing an amendment to the Land Development Regulations for a Suburban
Mixed Use zoning district, to be utilized for this and other similar-sized mixed-use projects that
will not be located in the City's adopted Community Redevelopment Area. In addition, the
creation of a Development of Regional Impact land use classification, and the companion

Memorandum No. PZ 04-042
Comprehensive Plan text amendment, will provide site-specific ranges and intensities of uses
allowed.
Policy 1.19.2 provides the directions for re-designation of lands classified as "Industrial"
on the Future Land Use Map:
"The City shall provide continued effort to allow for industrial acreage; however,
that land designated "Industrial" on the currently adopted Future Land Use Map
may be converted to commercial or residential designations if the conversion (i)
would generate a range of employment choices for current and future residents,
provide goods and services of regional importance, or would provide
opportunities for the City to meet its long-range housing goals; and (ii) is based
upon adequate data including market analysis."
The proposed development for the site is consistent with the cited policy in that it will provide
both commercial and residential development, is expected to generate employment
opportunities and provide goods and services, as well as add to the range of housing
opportunities in the City.
The adoption of Motorola NOPC Amendment #2 is conditioned upon the approval of the land
use amendment and rezoning request (see Exhibit "E" - Conditions of Approval).
Conclusion
The only regional issue of significance is traffic. It is a significant issue on which both the
Substantial Deviation determination and concurrency approval are based. Palm Beach County
Traffic Engineering has already determined NOPC #2 would comply with the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Staff believes the additional data and analyses
provided by the traffic consultant will help resolve any outstanding issues. Local impacts will be
addressed in the Conditions of Approval for the NOPC #2.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 380.06(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has
demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change is not a substantial
deviation requiring additional development of regional impact review. Resolution of any traffic
issues will be required to be resolved before any permits will be issued. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of DRIA 03-001 subject to the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit
"E".
Regarding the proposed modifications to the Motorola Master Plan staff recommends approval
subject to the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit "E".
