19. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date
for the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also
provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and
the setting of the first water meter. This time line will be used to determine
the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project
upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible.
-
Assuming that site plan approval will occur by April, 2005, the following
milestone dates would apply:
. Water and wastewater permit applications - June, 2005
. Construction Start - August, 2005
. First water meter required - January, 2006
It is noted that the water and wastewater capacity required for this
project is already committed and in service based on the fact that the
proposed project will require less water and wastewater service than the
existing Macy's building.
..
20. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and
landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may
determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.

other mall anchors.
115. Buildings or structures, which are perceived as part of a present or future
group of buildings (such as Muvico in comparison with the mall), shall
exhibit similar, unifying elements (Chapter 9, Section 11.C.). It appears as
though the proposed stand-alone Muvico building does not resemble the rest
of the mall but rather represents a contrasting architectural style. In your
written response, indicate the unifying elements of the Muvico fayade that
directly relate to the shopping mall.
The Muvico building will be perceived as part of the present group of
mall buildings and will exhibit similar, unifying elements. A significant,
unifying element of the Muvico building is the color of the exterior
walls, which are detailed to look like natural aged stone, cream and
light golden in color. As much of the existing mall is cream in color,
including mall entry areas, Dillards, and Macy's, (which is the building
that Muvico is replacing), compatibility is achieved. Classical
architectural elements of the Muvico building such as greek doric
columns and cornice treatments are used at the mall entry area and
Dillards. A terra-cotta colored clay tile roof will be used at the Muvico
porte-cochere feature, which relates directly to the clay tile roof of
Macy's, the anchor building that Muvico will be replacing. The Muvico
building fa~ade is designed with a masonry base, which serves to
visually "anchor" the building to the ground. This architectural device
also seen at the existing mall entry areas and several of the anchor
tenant buildings.

The design will incorporate lighting to illuminate the building, its entry
area and grounds for safety purposes and to enhance its beauty.
However, the visual effect will be subtle and tasteful.

Re: Boynton Beach Mall- Muvico Addition
Request for Administrative Waiver for Parking Module
Dear Ms. Logan,
On behalf of our client Boynton-JCP Associates, Ltd., this is to request an administrative
waiver of the City's parking space size and parking module requirements for the
reconfigured parking areas proposed in connection with the Muvico addition at Boynton
Beach Mall. The existing mall's parking areas are based on a 9 ft.xl8 ft. parking space
with a 27 ft. drive aisle or backup area for an overall 63 ft. parking module. Weare
requesting that the City waive the current standard requirement which calls for a 9.5 ft.
x18.5 ft. parking space with a 25 ft. drive aisle or backup area and allow the continued
use of the existing space size and backup.
Enclosed is a sketch showing the new parking areas and parking spaces. If you have any
questions or require any additional information to complete your review of this request
please contact us as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this request.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
BOYNTON BEACH MALL - MUVICO ADDITION
SHARED P ARKING ANALYSIS
I. INTRODUCTION
The following analysis has been prepared to assess the potential number of parking
spaces required to satisfy the parking requirements for the proposed Muvico theater at
Boynton Beach Mall. In order to accommodate the theater addition the existing Macy' s
store with 169,000 sq. ft. Gross Leasable Area (GLA) will be demolished. The new
3,650 seat Muvico theater building with 79,000 sq. ft. Gross Floor Area (GF A) will be
constructed on a portion of the former Macy' s site as shown in Exhibit 1.
As a result of the demolition of the Macy's building the existing mall will be reduced in
size from 1,184,045 sq. ft. GLA to 1,032,125 sq. ft. GLA of retail space. The Muvico
theater adds back 79,500 sq. ft. for a new total of 1,111,625 sq. ft.GLA. The net result is
a reduction in the overall project size of 72,420 sq. ft. GLA
The shared parking analysis presented herein examines the overall parking requirements
for the redevelopment project based on the provisions of the City of Boynton Beach Land
Development Code (Code) zoning chapter at Paragraph H., OFF-STREET PARKING.
The specific provisions include sub-paragraphs H.I0., H.B., HI6.b.(2), and H.16.d.(2).
Copies of the applicable LDC sections are included in Appendix A. Sub-paragraph H.13.
sets forth the required methods to be used in this Shared Parking Analysis.
The following analysis will examine shared parking based on two methodologies as
provided for in the Code which states, in part, "Quantitative evidence shall include
estimates of peak hour/peak season parking demand based on statistical data furnished by
the Urban Land Institute or an equivalent traffic engineering or land planning and design
organization. Both of the methodologies utilized herein are based on Urban Land
Institute (ULl) data.
II. METHODOLOGY
The methodologies employed herein are based on the following ULI publications:
. Shared Parking, 1983
· Parking Requirements for Shopping Centers, 1999
1
'URS
-
A. Analysis One - Based on Shared Parkin~, 1983
,..,
-
This analysis is based on the four step "Methodology for Determining Shared Parking" as
set forth in the referenced publication. A copy of the applicable section and related
default value tables are included in Appendix B.
-
For this analysis, the default value for retail peak: hourly parking demand in Table C1 will
be 4.5. This is based on the current ULI standard of 4.5 spaces per 1000 sq. ft. GLA as
referenced in the 1999 ULI publication Parking Requirements For Shopping Centers.
Applicable excerpts from this publication are also included in Appendix B. This is the
only adjustment to the ULI methodology on default values utilized herein.
...
"'"
The purpose of the analysis is to find the highest combined peak: season/peak: hour
parking demand for the project based on the included uses; retail and cinema. In this
case, because the retail component is substantially larger than the cinema use, the retail
peak: in December will control.
"'"
-
The analysis procedure is then as follows:
.~
Step 1. Initial Project Review Parameters
-
· Retail component is 1,032,125 Sq. Ft. GLA
· Theater (Cinema) component is 79,500 sq. ft. GFA with 3,650 seats
Discussion: At this initial step the methodology assumes adjustments will be made for
"captive market" and factored into the process. The only adjustment of this type will be
for the 15% of theater patrons who are assumed to be already at the mall for other or
additional purposes such as shopping, meals before or after a movie, or mall employees
viewing a movie before or after work. This adjustment follows in Step 2. which also
includes the seasonal adjustment.
Step 2. Adjustment For Peak Parking Factor
..
· Peak: parking based on the data in Exhibits C 1 and C2 in Appendix B occur on a
Saturday in December at 2:00 p.m. At that time the largest component of the
project, 1,032,125 sq. ft. of retail, will be at 100% of peak: demand. The only
adjustment necessary for retail is the updated 4.5 value discussed above.
-
..
· The cinema component will be at 50 % of peak demand in December. In addition,
it is assumed that 15% of theater demand represents "captive market" demand as
discussed above. Thus, the peak: demand factor from Exhibit C1, 0.30 spaces per
seat, is adjusted as follows:
-
. 0.30xO.50 x 0.85 = 0.1275
..
..
..
2
...
.-
- URS
Where:
0.30 - peak demand factor for cinema
0.50 - peak season adjustment
0.85 - adjustment for 15% captive market
~-
· Adjusted Peak Parking Demand Ratios for a Saturday in December:
-
RETAIL - 4.5 spaces per 1000 sq. ft. GLA
CINEMA - 0.1275 spaces per seat
...
Discussion: There is no adjustment for mode of transportation included in this analysis.
Although the mall is served by PalmTran, all trips are assumed to be by private auto.
..
Step 3. Analysis of Hourly Accumulation
.
-
.
.
,.,.,.
RETAIL - 4.5 x1032.125 = 4644.56 or 4,645 spaces
CINEMA - 0.1275 x 3,650 = 466
Gross number of spaces: 4645 + 466 = 5111 spaces
Discussion: This step is intended to determine the hourly accumulation of parking for
each land use on a weekday or weekend. By inspection of the data in Appendix B,
Exhibit 28, it can be determined that use of a Saturday in December at 2:00 PM will
produce the highest combined peak parking demand.
",~.i1
Step 4. Estimate of Shared Parking
As indicated above, it has been determined when the highest combined peak demand will
occur. Thus, a detailed hour by hour analysis is not required. The shared parking
estimate for each land use is based on the following formula:
Adjusted Peak Ratio X Floor Area X 2:00 p.m. value(Exhibit Cl)/Peak Value(Exhibit
C2) = spaces
Shared Parking Calculation:
RETAIL - 4.5 x1032.125 x 4.5/4.5 = 4,645 spaces
CINEMA - 0.1275 x 3,650 x 0.2/0.3 = 310.27 or 311 spaces
TOTAL REQUIRED: 4,645 + 311 = 4,956 spaces
Discussion: The above total, 4,956 spaces is the total number of spaces required based
on the Shared Parking methodology. However, the Code requires that if the provisions of
Sub-paragraph H.B. are employed an additional buffer of 10% must be added to the

total. This would bring the Code Required total number of spaces to 5452. The proposed
plan with 5491 spaces exceeds the maximum required by 39 spaces.
B. Analysis Two - Based on Parking Requirements for Shopping Centers, 1999
This analysis is based on the latest available ULI data. It simply indicates that the retail
peak parking ratio of 4.5 spaces per 1000 sq. ft. GLA is appropriate for use at shopping
centers over 600,000 square feet where the overall percentage of GLA in Restaurant,
Entertainment, and/or Cinema is less than 10%. If the percentage is between 11 and 20
percent the 4.5/1000 ratio is applicabl~, but for each percent above 10%, a linear increase
of 0.30 spaces per 1,000 square feet should be added. The total square footage for
restaurants/cinema at Boynton Beach Mall will not exceed 10%.
, Based on this criteria, the total number of parking spaces required would be:
1,032,125 +79,500 = 1,111,625 sq. ft x 4.5 spaces/lOOO = 5,002.31 or 5003 spaces
Under this methodology, the total number of spaces required, including a 10% buffer
would be 5,503. However, the total spaces provided, 5491, would provide an excess of
488 spaces Or 12 spaces short of the maximum required.
III.
Summary
Based on the above Analysis One, the proposed development plan for Boynton Beach
Mall will provide a sufficient number of parking spaces to accommodate the proposed
Muvico theater addition in accordance with the requirements of the Code including the
10% buffer requirement of sub-paragraph H.13. Parking spaces available for theater use
total 846 or only 67 less than the 913 maximum required based on a ratio of one space
per 4 seats. Thus, the "shared parking" may be characterized as limited and involving
less than 100 spaces. Further, the actual number of spaces available exceeds the
minimum requirement of "not less than one (1) parking space per one hundred (100)
square feet of gross floor area" as set forth in sub-paragraph H.16.b.(2). Under this
criteria a minimum of795 spaces would be required for the Muvico theater.
Analysis Two on the other hand falls short of meeting all of the Code requirements by 12
spaces. While Analysis Two is not technically a shared parking analysis it is useful in
that it presents similar results (after inclusion of the 10% buffer) and serves as a check as
to the reasonableness of the results of Analysis One.
Finally, the results of this analysis coupled with the Code required buffer results in a
buffer of nearly 500 spaces over the calculated number of spaces required. As such, it
should be considered a conservative estimate of the actual parking demand at Boynton
Beach Mall following the Muvico Theater expansion.
