RE: Renaissance Commons Petitions (Comprehensive Plan Text Amendmen1 and Map
Amendment)
Dear Mike:
On behalf of Compson Associates of Boynton II, LLC, enclosed you will find a
Comprehensive Plan - Text Amendment Application and a Land Use Amendment Application
for the Renaissance Commons DR! (fka Motorola). These are DRI-related comprehensive plan
amendments that are not limited to the twice per year restriction. Under separate cover, a Notice
of Proposed Change 10 the Development of Regional Impact is also being filed on this date.
As we have discussed previously, 1he proposed DR! policy will provide 1he City
flexibility in governing the approved land uses for Renaissance Commons. This flexibility will
facilitate mixed-use development concepts to be incorporated into the multiuse project.
We look forward to discussing these pe1itions with the City's LP A and City Commission.
Sincerely,
..t

Use Conversion Matrix
Analyses were conducted based on I) water/sewer flows, 2) peak hour traffic trips, and 3)
employment (affordable housing demand).
Boynton Beach Utilities provided input on the water/sewer rates to be utilized. These
rates differ from 1he City's Comprehensive Plan adopted level of service standards, and
are based on the connection fees that are paid by new development projects based on
"EDUs" (equivalent dwelling units} These edu rates were used for evaluation purposes,
but do not appear to be reliable or comparing and contrasting service and facility
demand generated by the different es,
I
I
Employment for retail, office and industrial uses was evaluated. Due to 1he property
location and characteristics, a manufacturing wage was not selected; ra1her a
warehouse/transportation job was utilized. The median income for this job exceeds that
of 1he median retail and office job. The resulting number of employees at a "very low
income" rate is low. The difference between the industrial and commercial/office
employee generation rates for very low income are so varied that this employment factor
does not represent reliable use conversion ratios.
As a result of 1he problems in the water/sewer and employment evaluations, peak hour
traffic appears to be 1he most reliable factor for determining land use conversions. Peak
hour trips are also preferred because the DR! has an approved number of peak hour trips
associated with 1he project that originate in 1he ADA. The proposed Use Conversion
Matrix utilizes solely the peak hour trips and does not mix analysis factors or try to select
the most constraining ratio due to concerns with 1he water/sewer and employment
analyses.

RE:
Motorola DRi - 2nd Revision
TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic statement for the second
revision of the previously approved DRI entitled; Motorola DRI. pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code.
The project is summarized as follows:
Location:
Southeast corner of Congress Avenue and Gateway
Boulevard intersection.
Boynton Beach
13,020 Daily, 1,634 Peak Hour
500 Multi Family Residential Units, and 43,820 SF General
Retail.

285 AM and 462 PM
2005
Municipality:
Vested DRI Trips:
Proposed Uses:
New Daily Trips:
New PH Trips:
Build-out:
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the second revision of the
proposed DRI is projected to generate less trips than what was previously approved, and
therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. It is however
suggested for the City to monitor potential need for the following:
. Southbound left-turn lanes along Congress Avenue, onto the northern and
the middle driveways.
. Northbound right-turn lanes along Congress Avenue, onto the southern and
the middle driveways.
. Westbound left-turn lane along Gateway Boulevard, onto the eastern
driveway.
. Eastbound right-turn lane along Gateway Boulevard, onto the eastern
driveway.
DEe I SO'J

No building permits are to be issued by the town, after the build-out date, specified above.
The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set
forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
Sincerely,
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.

MOTOROlA DRI NOPC #2
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The proposal under this Notice of Proposed Change (NOPO for the Motorola DRI is to change the
proposed land use mix and intensities tJ provide a mix of residential and non-r~identialland uses.
These specific land use designation changes, described in detail in Section 5 of the NOPC
I
Application, represent proposed increases and decreases in land use intensities as well as a
reallocation of approved land use designations and intensities. Residential development will occur
under the local Retail Commercial land use designation. The purpose of this traffic analysis is to
provide data and analyses of the traffic impacts associated with the proposed change such that a
determination of substantial deviation can be made.
lAND USE CHANGES
There has been one (1) previous modification to the DRI, which was initially approved in 1979 for
625,000 SF of manufacturing (including ancillary office and storage) and 200,000 SF of Office. In
December 2002 the first NOPC was approved to provide for a mix of residential and non-residential
uses on the site. These uses and intensities are provided on Attachment 1. Generally, the current
proposal is to reduce the amount of office space, eliminate the self-storage warehouse and to
increase the number of residential units, Attachment 2 provides a summary of the proposed land
uses and intensities.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Based on this 1979 development plan it has been determined that the project is vested for 13,020
daily trips and 1,634 peak hour trips (Attachment 3), This then becomes the benchmark from which
to compare the trip generation of the proposed land uses.
Attachment 4 provides the AM and PM peak hour trip generation analysis of the proposed Motorola
DRI development program. Both the AM and PM peak hour new trip generation are less than the
NOPe n 03-75 70-30.03
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

I
.
1,634 external trips. The trip generation analysis shown on Attachment 4 follows the methodology
and procedures required by Palm Beach County.
Attachment 5 provides the AM and PM peak hour trip generation analysis for the proposed Motorola
DRI NOPC #2 development program following established Florida Department of Transportation
(FOODpfllCedures. The project AM peak h~)Uf new trips are less than the vested trips. However,
the projected PM peak hour trips exceed the vested trips by 159, This represents an increase of
9.7%, which is less than the 15% increase that would constitute a substantial deviation.
Attachment 6 provides the Internal Capture worksheet for the proposed development plan.
A link analysis has been conducted to determine if the proposed development plan will have a 5% or
greater impact on any links not analyzed in the Application for Development Approval (ADA).
Attachment 7 provides this analysis that compares the ADA assignment and impacts with the
proposed development plan assignment and impacts. The ADA impact analysis was based on daily
traffic. Daily volumes have been converted to PM peak hour trips based on data contained in the
ADA. There are no roadway links on which the proposed development plan traffic is projected to
have a 5% or greater impact that were not analyzed in the ADA.
ROADWAY MODIFICATIONS
The proposed development plan includes the addition of two (2) new driveways on Congress
Avenue. One of these driveways will be located south of the Congress Avenue / Gateway Boulevard
intersection and the second will be located south of the existing Congress Avenue / Motorola Access
(Catalina Drive) signalized intersection. The proposed northerly driveway will be a full median
opening (allowing all movements) aligned with an existing driveway on the west side of Congress
Avenue. The southerly driveway will allow left in, right in and right out movements only. These
roadway modifications were also a part of the NOPC #1 modifications,

CONCLUSIONS
NOPC #2 proposes simultaneous increases and decreases in allowable development intensities. The
projected new trips meet the requirements of both County and State standards. Consequently, there
is no substantial deviation.

RE:
Motorola DRi - 2nd Revision
TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic statement for the second
revision of the previously approved DRI entitled; Motorola DRI. pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code.
The project is summarized as follows:
Location:
Southeast corner of Congress Avenue and Gateway
Boulevard intersection.
Boynton Beach
13,020 Daily, 1,634 Peak Hour
500 Multi Family Residential Units, and 43,820 SF General
Retail.
5,366
285 AM and 462 PM
2005
Municipality:
Vested DRI Trips:
Proposed Uses:
New Daily Trips:
New PH Trips:
Build-out:
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the second revision of the
proposed DRI is projected to generate less trips than what was previously approved, and
therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Kis however
suggested for the City to monitor potential need for the following:
. Southbound left-turn lanes along Congress Avenue, onto the northern and
the middle driveways.
. Northbound right-turn lanes along Congress Avenue, onto the southern and
the middle driveways,
. Westbound left-turn lane along Gateway Boulevard, onto the eastern
driveway.
. Eastbound right-turn lane along Gateway Boulevard, onto the eastern
driveway.
Page 2
No building permits are to be issued by the town, after the build-out date, specified above,
The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set
forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER

Renaissance Commons DR!

Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
DRI DESIGNATION / OBJECTIVE:
Compson Associates of Boynton II, LLC, (the "Applicant") is requesting amendments to
the Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan in conjunction with a Notice of Proposed Change
("NOPC") to the Renaissance Commons Development of Regional Impact ("DRI"), formerly
known as the Motorola DRI, These proposed comprehensive plan amendments are directly
related to the DRI, and as such, are not subject to the twice per year limitation,
The Applicant proposes a text addition to the Future Land Use Element to insert an
Objective and related Policies pertaining to Renaissance Commons DRI and include a DRI
designation on the Future Land Use Map, The DRI designation/policy proposal allows the data,
analysis and statewide review of the project to serve as the justification and supporting
docwnentation for the DRI, Future NOPCs will contain the docwnentation to amend the project
development order, and while references to the ordinance nwnber would need to be revised in
the Future Land Use policy, a comprehensive plan amendment analysis required for a land use
change would not be needed.
The DRI designation/policy allows site-specific uses, intensities, conditions and
characteristics to be described in the comprehensive plan, This contrasts with a standard land
use category that must be broad enough to apply citywide. A DRI objective with project-specific
policies allows flexibility for modifications to existing DRIs, allows new DRIs to be governed
with site-specific criteria, and provides the City with a means to adequately regulate projects
without the typical hindrances of comprehensive plan constraints (i,e., reduces the need for
comprehensive plan amendments that trigger oversight by other governments and agencies,)
The proposed DRI policy includes a range of minimwn and maximwn intensities for the
approved uses within the DRI, This range represents a 30% modification, reduction and
increase, to each land use intensity proposed with NOPC #2, Utilizing the Use Conversion
Matrix that is proposed with NOPC #2, any approved use could be converted to another use

based on traffic trip equivalency, which is represented in the Use Conversion Matrix,
Conversions up to a 30% overall modification to any land use, which are the minimum and
maximum intensities expressed in the DRI Policy, could be approved by the City without the
need to amend the DRI development order. A proposal to change a use more than 30%, either
cumulatively with previous conversions or individually, would necessitate a NOPC,
The DRI Policy also expresses a maximum traffic generation volume for concurrency
purposes. This figure represents the number of trips vested by the original project approval.
Uses within the DRI shall not generate more than 1634 peak hour trips, utilizing Palm Beach
County Traffic Engineering's accepted methodologies pursuant to countywide Traffic
Performance Standards,
Rezoning
TEXT AMENDMENT TO ZONING REGULATIONS
The Applicant has assisted City staff in the drafting of a city-initiated amendment to the
Zoning regulations. Staff proposes to adopt a new Suburban Mixed Use District as a zoning
classification in the Zoning regulations, Chapter 2, With a basis in the Mixed Use - Low/High
Intensity Districts, the proposed Suburban Mixed Use District ("SMU") would be applicable in
non-downtown settings where an integration of uses is desired,
The proposed SMU district specifies permitted uses, building and site regulations, and the
approval of a concept or master development plan,
The existing Mixed Use - Low/High Intensity Districts are only applicable within the
downtown area, Mixed-use developments are encouraged elsewhere in the City to offer unique
opportunities for residents to live, work and play in the same general location. Such mixed-use
projects are recognized as promoting a sense of place and community, reducing traffic on the
regional roadway network due to the reduced need for external trips, and providing community-
serving businesses and services within buildings designed with attention to details and pedestrian
enhancements, These implications of mixed-use projects make them desirable in non-downtown
settings where property characteristics and relationship to roadways and existing uses lend
themselves to the integration of uses, Standard zoning districts that are already provided for
within the Boynton Beach Zoning regulations do not provide performance standards that allow
for vertical and horizontal integration of uses, The proposed Suburban Mixed Use District
provides criteria tailored to a mixture of uses within a project and within a structure,

The proposed Suburban Mixed Use District would be applicable in DRIs, so designated
on the Future Land Use Map, and the Mixed Use land use category,
REZONING TO SUBURBAN MIXED USE DISTRICT
Rezoning
The Applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject property to the new Suburban Mixed
Use District and approval of a SMU Master Plan for Renaissance Commons,
Consistent with the criteria contained in Section 9,C,2, of the Zoning regulations, the
Applicant offers the following for the City's consideration:
a. Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive
plan policies, The proposed rezoning to SMU is consistent with the proposed land use
designation of DRI (being concurrently processed), and the proposed Renaissance
Commons (fka Motorola) DRI policies (also being concurrently requested,) Rezoning
to SMU will enable an integrated mixed-use community to be planned and built on the
Property versus a multiple use development project.
b. Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern,
or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted
with the protection of the public welfare, Rezoning to SMU will promote
redevelopment of the underutilized Motorola plant and property. The subject
property's size and location presents ideal characteristics for a mixed-use project that
will complement the Congress Avenue corridor, The proposed mix of uses that are
afforded by the rezoning will complement the adjacent shopping centers and business
parks. Uses and buildings will complement one another, internally, as well as with
adjacent properties' improvements,
c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable. The
underutilized Motorola building and vacant land area allow progressive design
principles to be utilized to redevelopment the site, Rezoning to SMU will provide the
zoning parameters necessary to design a mixed-use development project,
d Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with utility systems, roadways,
and other public facilities, The proposed rezoning and resulting mixed-use
development project will not negatively impact public facilities and services. The
effective Development Order for the property, the Motorola DRI, is proposed for

modification to revise the approved uses for the site, A traffic study has been submitted
as part of the modification (Notice of Proposed Change) documentation.
e, Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the current and fUture use of
adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of acijacent and
nearby properties. The proposed rezoning to SMU is compatible with adjacent uses:
Pill to the east and north; C3 to the north, south and west. The subject property is
separated from adjacent properties by roadways or canals; however, the buildings, uses
and architectural elements that will be utilized along the site's perimeters will be
harmonious with and complement existing buildings and uses on neighboring
properties,
f Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning, Currently zoned as Pill, the property sits underutilized. Rezoning to SMU will
enable an economically viable, timely development project to be redeveloped on the
site,
g. Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of
the neighborhood and the city as a whole, The size of the Motorola property lends
itself to a large redevelopment project. Rezoning to SMU will allow a mixture of uses
on the property. This compares with subdividing the property into individual,
marketable parcels that are sold off as stand-alone uses. The proposed SMU district
allows for a master-planned development to be designed on the site to ensure
integration of uses, sharing of infrastructure, and harmony in architecture and site
design.
h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in districts
where such use is already allowed, While mixed-use projects are encouraged in the
City's downtown, no site provides the same opportunities (size, location and
availability) for planning a mixed-use development project. The proposed rezoning to
SMU will be the first utilization of the new suburban mixed use district, and will set the
stage for its future use in the City's non-downtown areas,
Master Plan
Additionally, the Applicant offers documentation that demonstrates that the impacts
created by development under the proposed zoning (SMU) create no new concerns and are not
greater than those impacts associated with development under the existing (Pill) zoning.

A Renaissance Commons conceptual Master Plan has been submitted, which supports the
proposed uses requested in the Notice of Proposed Change to the DRI. Under existing DRI and
zoning approvals, the site is approved for the following uses:
500 multi-family residential units
63,500 s,f, retail
450,000 s,f. office
128,000 s,f, industrial (warehouse) use
As proposed, the uses would be modified as follow:
213,000 s.f, retail
247,800 s.f, office
1551 multi-family residential units
Non-residential uses and businesses that occupy the Renaissance Commons project will be
consistent with the chart of permitted uses in the SMU district regulations.
The Renaissance Commons mixed-used project may be developed in multiple phases,
prior to the DRI buildout date (January 7, 2010), Each phase, pod or parcel will be subject to
subsequent technical site plan approval,
Based on the above described uses, Renaissance Commons would provide jobs for 1,090
employees, As a mixed-use project, housing opportunities will be available within the
development for some of these employees.
The proposed uses generate no new traffic impacts'. Other public facilities and services
will not be negatively impacted by the change in uses, Water and sewer demand, based on the
rates identified below, have been evaluated and the resulting demand can be served by the
existing capacity at the City's water and sewer treatment plants,
