EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the requested land use amendment and rezoning for the
following reasons:
1. The requests for land use amendment and rezoning are consistent with objectives and
policies in the Comprehensive Plan relating to mixed use projects, the provision of a
range of housing opportunities within walking distance of shops and workplaces and for
the interconnectivity between large-scale projects;
2. The Mixed Use-Suburban land use category and the corresponding SMU Suburban Mixed
Use zoning will require the development of a community that is a pedestrian-friendly
environment containing gathering places for the residents; and
3. The proposed rezoning would continue the development pattern established by the
adjacent lands to the north, across the Boynton Canal and will provide a transition
between existing commercial development on the west along Congress Avenue and the
single-family neighborhood to the east; however,
4. Consistent with the requirements of the SMU development regulations, approval of a
SMU master plan for the property shall be required concurrent with approval of the
requested rezoning.

PROJECT ANALYSIS
The parcels, which are the subject of this land use amendment, total 81.81 acres. Because of
the size of the property under consideration, the Florida Department of Community Affairs
classifies this amendment as a "large-scale" amendment. Following local board review and City
Commission public hearing the amendment package was transmitted to the Florida Department
of Community Affairs (DCA) on August 3, 2004 for review for compliance with the state,
regional and local comprehensive plans prior to adoption. The normal review period is
approximately 60 days; however, additional time was added to allow adequate response time
for review agencies affected by the hurricanes. The City received DCA's report of their findings
in an "Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report" on November 19, 2004.
This report from the state is generated from reviews against state, regional and local plans and
other agencies' long-range plans and policies. The two objections were based on "lack of
analysis" of: (1) availability of public facilities, and (2) traffic impacts for the maximum
development potential of the sites. A matrix is attached, showing objections and comments
from DCA and proposed responses (Exhibit "B'').
The City has 60 days to either (1) adopt the amendment as transmitted, (2) adopt the
amendment with changes in response to the ORC report, or (3) determine not to adopt the
amendment and inform DCA of that decision. The adoption hearing is scheduled for the City
Commission meeting on January 18, 2005. It is anticipated that DCA will issue a Notice of
Intent (NOI) to find the amendments either "in compliance" or "not in compliance"
approximately 60 days following receipt of the amendment package (March 14, 2005). The
amendments become effective 21 days following issuance of the NO!.
Master Plan Reauirements
The regulations for the Suburban Mixed Use zoning district require that a master plan, including
multi-year phases be submitted and reviewed for approval at the time of rezoning to SMU.
Because of the length of time required by the large-scale land use amendment process, the
applicant submitted a master plan (see Exhibit "C'') for approval to coincide with adoption of the
land use amendment and the rezoning. While master plan approval is required for rezoning to
the SMU district, there is no such requirement for rezoning to C-3 Community Commercial as
requested for the Boynton Town Center portion of the property; however, since the two
rezonings are preceding simultaneously, staff has requested that any proposed access points
from the property to the excluded parcel (Boynton Town Center) be shown on the plan and that
compatibility be maximized with the remainder of the project through interconnectivity,
consistent architectural design and other design attributes required by the SMU regulations.
The proposed master plan meets the minimum requirements, as outlined in the zoning
regulations for the Suburban Mixed Use zoning district with any exceptions noted in the Review
Comments (see Exhibit D). Those requirements include:
. Any proposed multi-year phasing for the project;
. Locations of the different uses proposed, including open space or common areas,
recreational facilities, residential areas, commercial uses, office uses, other permitted
uses, and areas to be developed with integrated mixed-use structures;
Page 4
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
. Access and flow to each parcel;
. Tabulations of total gross acreage in the development and the percentages thereof
proposed to be devoted to the several land use types;
. Tabulations demonstrating the proposed number of dwelling units, square footage of
commercial, office and other uses; and,
. Architectural design standards showing the following: design themes to be followed,
building colors and color pallet options, maximum building heights and color elevation
renderings depicting representative design concepts.
Proiect Phases And Master Plan Overview
The project is proposed for development in two phases. Phase I will consist of the spine road
connecting the Renaissance Commons development on the north with Old Boynton Road on the
south; a lake parcel of 8.38 acres (10.27% of the site); and a mixed-use parcel of 24.7 acres
(30.27% of the site). The mixed-use parcel extends from the north boundary of the site at the
Boynton (C-16) Canal southward along Congress Avenue to the boundary with the Boynton
Town Center Project. Two access points are shown from Congress Avenue and connecting with
the proposed spine road, each provides pedestrian and vehicular access to the site. The road
from Congress Avenue opposite the entrance to the Boynton Beach Mall, is proposed to be lined
with one- and two-story commercial buildings which will provide a "main street" atmosphere for
the project. The lake parcel is located in the central eastern part of the property. It will be the
principal stormwater retention area for the development.
Currently, the remainder of the project is scheduled for Phase II. With the exception of a 5.03-
acre (6.16% of the site) parcel denoted as "park", parcels, identified for Phase II, would all be
devoted to residential development, with townhomes located on the parcel surrounding the
"lake parcel" and along the C-16 Canal, and condominiums on the two remaining parcels. The
residential parcels total 43.47 acres or 53.3% of the total development.
Tabular data show that the proposed land uses include 149,000 square feet of commercial and
retail, 10,000 square feet of office and 1,120 units of multi-family residential development. A
more recent breakdown shows that of the 1,120 residential units, there are 472 proposed
townhouses (attached single family units) and 648 condominium units.
The City has adopted a resolution requiring land dedication to satisfy the impact fee obligations;
therefore, only a portion of the 5.03-acre "park parcel" counts toward the "usable open space"
requirements. Based on the formulae included in the SMU development regulations, 30% of
the land area devoted to single-family attached units and 20% of the land area devoted to
mixed use and multi-family use must be "usable open space". In the mixed use and multi-
family use areas, up to 50% of the usable open space may be made up of hardscaped plazas
and public gathering places. In the townhouse areas, at least 50% must be in common pooled
areas, though none of this usable open space must be in public parks. Under this requirement,
a total of 17.65 acres must be earmarked for usable open space. The proposed 40-foot
pedestrian greenway adjacent to the right-of-way of the E-4 Canal and the 25-foot greenway
adjacent to the C-16 Canal will fulfill some of those requirements. There is no other indication
Page 5
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
how the applicant intends to fulfill these requirements; although staff will require that the
developer provide a notation on the master plan giving a conceptual description or statement of
assumptions as to how he proposes to meet the requirements. This notation will be used as a
guide as site plans for each development tract are submitted.
Also regarding recreation, a negative aspect of the proposed master plan is the lack of park
space (private and public) located to take advantage of the lake area. While location of the
proposed park parcel would maximize accessibility to non-residents of the development, it is
assumed that the "main street" area will be patronized by more than just residents of the
development. A passive area located between the spine road and the lake could be a special
focal point and gathering place for a great number of people, and a true asset to the
development. This would also fulfill the SMU requirements that developments utilizing the
regulations provide public plazas and gathering places that are both well-designed and
integrated into the overall design of the development; and also create higher quality
environments for residents, businesses, employees, and visitors.
A finding of consistency of the project with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance is based on the assumption that certain roadway and intersection
improvements will be necessary prior to buildout. Many of these improvements are already in
the County's adopted long-range transportation plans, but may not be included in their Five-
year Transportation Improvement Plan. Since these planned improvements may require
acquisition of additional rights-of-way, their full implementation may be too costly to be
practicable. Staff recommends a requirement of an explanation of the thresholds of
development that trigger each of the roadway improvements. This should include both a
comparable mix of uses similar to the subject request, as well as a scenario involving principally
residential uses (Condition 5). This should be provided prior to approval of any of the individual
site plans within the project.
Review Based on Reauired Criteria
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in the
Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 9, Administration and Enforcement, Item C.
Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Rezonings. These criteria are required to be part of a staff
analysis when the proposed change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map.
a. Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive
plan policies including but not limited to, a prohibition against any increase in
dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without written
approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Planning Division and the City's risk
manager. The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements, which would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
prope~ in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan.
The subject property is not located in the hurricane evacuation zone, therefore the referenced
policy is not applicable; however, other applicable objectives and policies contained in the
comprehensive plan include:
Page 6
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
"Objective 1.15 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"
"Policy 1.22.3 Neighborhoods shall provide residences of different income levels.
~~~~~d~~m=~~re~~rowrem~~
distance of each other where appropriate. Architecture and
landscaping shall reflect the character of the region. "
The requested land use designation, Mixed Use-Suburban, and zoning district, SMU Suburban
Mixed Use, are designed to encourage developments that meet both the adopted objective and
policy directions. In addition, with a well-designed site plan, this area can become an effective
transition between the commercial uses on the west of Congress Avenue and the low-density
single-family neighborhood east of the E-4 Canal.
"Policy 1.3.8 The City shall continue to adopt and enforce regulations to require that
commercial projects provide marginal access roads or cross access between sites,
wherever practical, in order to minimize the need for trips on adjacent thoroughfares. "
The provision for connectivity between this site and the developing mixed-use project to the
north, across the Boynton Canal, will reduce travel distances and could minimize vehicle trips on
Congress Avenue. This is an important design attribute given the project size and the
magnitude of potential trips generated by the project.
Section VIII. LAND USE PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNmES, from the Support Documents of the
Comprehensive Plan include specific directions for this property. In effect, those directions
stated that since adequate commercially-zoned land exists to accommodate existing and
projected demands, the property should be considered as a site for one or more major
manufacturing plants. A major concern, as expressed in this recommendation, was the impacts
on roads in the vicinity.
The population growth alone may account for a need for increased commercial and residential
development. The Palm Beach county population projections for 2010 and 2020 show growth
rates which are substantially down from the 31 % over the last decade, but still fairly high (22%
for 2000-2010 and 18% for 2010-2020). Boynton Beach, which grew at the same pace as the
county between 1990 and 2000, is nearing buildout. However, the reevaluation of
redevelopment activities, particularly in areas with proposed higher densities, has recently
resulted in the upward adjustment of the projected growth rates for 2000-2010 and 2010-2020
for the city from 11% and 9%, to 17% and 13%, respectively. Also a study titled "Retail and
Office Space and Land Sales Research Study" for the Motorola site, prepared by Land Reseach
Management, Inc. in June of 2003 indicates that such increased demand for commercial space
exists based on the low vacancy rates for the existing commercial development in the vicinity.
Low demand for industrially zoned property has influenced the conversion of those properties to
other uses. When no tenant could be found for the Motorola site, that property was
redesignated for mixed use development. Likewise, as demand fell for industrial land in
Page 7
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
Quantum Park, a mixture of uses was approved for that property which includes residential,
educational and commercial development. Other conversions of industrial lands have occurred
in the Congress Avenue corridor at the southern part of the City. The requested amendment
and rezoning will serve to offset the decrease in property tax revenues caused by the loss in
existing industrial businesses such as Motorola and in future businesses through land
conversion. These changing circumstances since adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in 1989
are factors that support the requested land use amendment and rezoning.
Policy 5.3.4, found in the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan states
the following:
"The City shall continue to require the dedication of sufficient land for a neighborhood
park site at the time that the following properties are rezoned or platted for residential
use: Klatt Property, and the Sand & Sea Mobile Homes. If the need for public park
acreage is not indicated at the above-mentioned time, a fee shall substitute the
dedication of land. Mandatory dedication is required when the public park is greater
than 0.5 miles away."
Maintenance of consistency with this policy is discussed below, under "Item d".
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.
The proposed rezoning would not create an isolated district, but would relate to the adjacent
lands to the north, across the Boynton Canal. As stated above, it could also serve as a
transition between the Congress Avenue right-of-way and existing commercial development to
the west, and the single-family residential development to the east. The development
regulations for the SMU zoning district contain restrictions on building heights and buffering
requirements designed to lessen any negative impacts of SMU developments on existing,
adjacent single-family developments.
c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable.
The population growth, cited in "Item a", is a changing condition that could provide justification
for the proposed rezoning. Also, the decreased demand for property designated for industrial
uses, which was seen as an alternate development option in 1989, and the increase in
residential development in the area, are changing conditions that must be considered. The
City's adoption of regulations for mixed use development in the area west of 1-95 is a bold new
departure from past development practices, where each use was well-separated from one
another. Mixed use development patterns have typically been confined to urban areas and the
movement to extend their use to suburban areas is relatively recent and desirable. The
addition of a Mixed Use-Suburban land use category will permit the development of
communities that are pedestrian-friendly environments and gathering places for their residents.
By providing opportunities for people to live, work and shop in the same area, there may also
be a benefit in lessening impacts on roadways external to the community.

Boynton Village
d. Whether the proposed use would be compatible with utility systems, roadways, and
other public facilities.
Estimates prepared by the applicant show that total potable water demand will be
approximately 439,005 gallons per day (gpd) and sewage flow demand will be approximately
359,125 (gpd), compared to 227,535 gpd for potable water and 184,023 gpd sewage flow, if
the property developed at the current land use and zoning. More exact calculations of these
demands will be made at the time of site plan approval; however, the Utilities Department has
stated that additional demands for water and wastewater services will be adequately met by the
planned capacity expansion of 5,000,000 gallons per day, via an interlocal agreement with Palm
Beach County.
The traffic impact analysis submitted by the applicant shows that the average daily trips
generated by 588 single-family residential units under the existing land use designation would
be 4,116. Under the proposed mixed use designation the average daily trips would equal
12,780; a net increase of 8,664 new trips. This would cause Gateway Boulevard and Old
Boynton Road to drop from Level of Service "D" to "E", without improvements to these
roadways. Congress Avenue would still operate at LOS "D".
Traffic impacts were also evaluated in combination with that portion of the property proposed
for Local Retail Commercial land use and C-3 zoning. The applicant's traffic engineer has stated
that the proposed development will only meet all of the requirements of the Traffic Performance
Standards of Palm Beach County if phasing of the development is linked to the County's
programmed roadway and intersection improvements and those proposed by the traffic
engineer; however, many of the cited improvements, which include widening Gateway
Boulevard from four lanes to six lanes between Congress Avenue and High Ridge Road and
widening Old Boynton Road from two lanes to five lanes between Boynton Beach Boulevard and
Congress Avenue, would require an amendment to the Palm Beach County Five-Year Roadway
Improvements Program (2003-2008) even though they may be included in the County's long-
range transportation improvements plans. In addition, since some of these planned
improvements may require acquisition of additional rights-of-way, their full implementation may
be too costly to be practicable, particularly in instances where acquiring additional right-of-way
would create non-conforming parcels for existing development.
The list of improvements, below, is taken from the applicant's traffic impact analysis. Palm
Beach County Traffic Engineering has not provided comments as to their suffiCiency in meeting
the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. They are listed below with summaries of their
impacts on properties, as well as the status of the improvement on the County's Long-range
Transportation Improvement Program:
Old Boynton Road
. Five (5) Laning from Congress Ave. to Boynton Beach Blvd.
(Right-of-way for this improvement exists; however Palm Beach County has the majority
of this improvement planned for 2016-2020. Removal of encroachments into the right-
of-way will impact properties along the roadway. Rebuilding the bridge over the E-4
Canal is scheduled for 2006.)
Page 9
File Number: LUAR 04-006

Congress Avenue
. Six (6) Laning from Lantana Rd. to Hypoluxo Rd.
(Planned for fiscal year 2005.)
. Six (6) Laning from Maleluca Lane to Lantana Rd.
(Planned for fiscal year 2006.)
Intersection Phasing - Congress Ave/Gateway Blvd.
. 6 Lane Gateway Blvd. from Congress Avenue to 1-95
. Add Eastbound Right Turn Lane
. Add Southbound Right Turn Lane
. or CRALLS*
(Right-of-way exists for 6 laning Gateway Blvd, or would have minor impacts on
properties along the right-of-way. The additional turn lanes would impact properties on
the west side of the intersection.)
Intersection Phasing - Congress Ave/Old Boynton Road
. Add Additional Northbound Dual Left Turn Lanes
. Add Additional Eastbound Dual Left Turn Lanes
. or CRALLS*
(The additional right-of-way for the turn lanes would highly impact the commercial
properies at this intersection.)
Intersection Phasing -Old Boynton Rd/Boynton Beach Blvd.
. Add Additional Southbound Dual Left Turn Lane
(The additional right-of-way for the turn lane impacts the property at the southwest
corner of the intersection.)
* Constrained Roadway at Lower Level of Service (Palm Beach County adopts a CRALLS in its
Comprehensive Plan. This action recognizes that it is not feasible to complete improvements
necessary for the roadway to operate at the adopted Level of Service. Mitigation measures are
required to offset the lower level of service.)
The applicant has proposed a phasing schedule for the project, linking the issuance of building
permits to the commencement of construction of the roadway improvements. This is only one
scenario, and other scenarios could be developed as long as they meet the phasing trip
thresholds. The most recent traffic impact analysis for the Boynton Village project, combined
with the Boynton Town Center, was only presented to Palm Beach County on December 20,
2004. A response from the County is expected prior to the adoption hearing. While the
Objections, Recommendations and Comments by DCA associated with the land use amendment
have been satisfied by the applicant, the adoption of the rezoning for this project is conditioned
on the applicant's complying with the requirements of the County's Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance. Unless the County's response is forthcoming prior to the adoption
hearing, staff would recommend postponement of the adoption of the land use amendment and
rezoning until adoption of the amendments proceeding under Round 1-2005.
Page 10
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
The Police Department has utilized statistics from Cross Creek Plaza, a strip mall located at
1313 W. Boynton Beach Boulevard to project the service impacts of the small commercial uses
proposed in the project. Over a three-year period, the number of businesses in the plaza
ranged between 10 and 15 operating at anyone time. The statistical data indicated that
businesses of a similar nature would generate approximately 81 calls for service. Likewise,
statistical data from townhouses in the Sandalwood Community over a three-year period were
used to project the impacts of the 1,120 proposed dwelling units, which is estimated at 988
calls per year. These demands coupled with those of the adjacent Boynton Town Center
development indicate that an additional Uniformed Services patrol zone may have to be initiated
and manned to provide police services to the residents and businesses on the site. This will
require 4 additional police officers to man the new zone.
Fire-Rescue indicates that increases in population density and commercial development also
increase traffic congestion. Traffic light pre-emption for emergency vehicles is essential to
maintaining desired response time. It is imperative that Fire Station #4 is completed and in
service prior to completion and occupancy of these new projects, and that Fire Station #5 be
expedited to insure adequate service delivery levels and effective response times in the
northeast section of the City and as a backup in the northwest section of the City. Approval of
new development projects involving multi-family or high-intensity commercial projects should
be contingent upon consideration of future upgrades in emergency dispatch capability.
Generally, Recreation and Open Space requirements are met in either of two ways: through
payment of the Recreation and Parks Development Impact Fee based on an ordinance last
amended in July 2002, or through land dedication based on a Comprehensive Plan standard of
6 acres per 1,000 population. In response to Comprehensive Plan Policy 9.C.3.4, cited above
under "Item a", the City Commission has requested land dedication.
The Recreation and Parks Department has determined that the Impact Fee for 1,120 residential
units would equal approximately $784,000, based on 1,120 units (472 townhouse units) and
648 condominium units). To date, it has not been determined how this amount would convert
to recreation acreage on the site; however, the dedication should not be counted toward the
required "usable open space".
Additionally, the Greenwavs/Bikewavs Plan calls for negotiation with developers to provide
green space and bikeway linkages throughout the City. Per the plan's recommendation, a 25-
foot wide bikeway is considered a minimum. As discussed in the Master Plan Overview, above,
the developer has proposed a 40-foot wide greenway along the E-4 Canal right-of-way and a
25-foot greenway along the C-16 Canal to link with the Renaissance Commons bikeways along
these canals.
With respect to solid waste, the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority has stated that
adequate capacity exists to accommodate the county's municipalities throughout the 10-year
planning period. The School District of Palm Beach County has reviewed the application and
has determined that adequate capacity exists to accommodate the resident population. Lastly,
drainage will also be reviewed in detail as part of site plan review, and must satisfy all
requirements of the city and local drainage permitting authorities.

Boynton Village
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 adjacent or
nearby properties.
Compatibility has been discussed under "Item b". above. The development regulations for the
SMU zoning district contain restrictions on building heights and buffering requirements designed
to lessen any negative impacts of SMU developments on existing adjacent single-family
developments. In addition, the E-4 Canal, situated between the proposed project and the
single family neighborhood to the east, has a right-of-way 180 feet. The resulting development
would generally have a positive effect on property values of adjacent and nearby properties.
However, the roadway improvements, which have been suggested as necessary for the project
to be built out as designed, will have a negative impact on some properties, as discussed under
"Item d", above. There may be alternatives to the required road improvements considered,
such as a "CRALLS" designation, that will not have the same impacts; or a decision may be
made that the benefits of the completed project outweigh the general or isolated costs,
particularly if the costs are not borne by a governmental entity.
f. Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning.
The property is developable under existing land use designation and zoning. Given the
magnitude of commercial uses along this segment of the Congress Avenue corridor, it is
questionable if single-family residential development would be the most desirable use of the
property or would best accommodate population growth, while at the same time representing
the highest and best use ideally proportional service costs.
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 scale of the proposed mixed use development is such that it can meet the policy directions
of the Comprehensive Plan, cited above under "Item a", by providing a mixture of homes,
shops, and workplaces in walking distance of each other that are designed in a manner to be
sensitive to the characteristics of the site and to surrounding land uses, and at the same time,
keep a significant portion of the projected trips within the boundaries of the project.
h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in
districts where such use is already allowed.
Given the fact that the applicant is requesting a land use designation that is being considered
concurrent with this request for land use amendment, there are no other sites currently
available in the City with a Mixed Use-Suburban land use designation. There are no other sites
in the City of similar size and location to provide this opportunity for a sizeable mixed use
project.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
As indicated herein, this request is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan;
however, there will be impacts on infrastructure, particularly roadways that may require phasing
Page 12
File Number: LUAR 04-006
Boynton Village
of the project and the impacts of infrastructure improvements on selected properties in the area
must be weighed against projected benefits to the City. In addition, the increase in property
tax revenues, the additional housing opportunities, the recreation amenities, and the
concentration of density near the City's commercial hub must be weighed against the decrease
in Level of Service on Congress Avenue and the additional traffic on Old Boynton Road.
The proposed land use amendment and rezoning will be compatible with adjacent land uses
and will contribute to the overall economic development of the City. Therefore, staff
recommends that the subject request be approved, provided that the master plan, as required
by the Suburban Mixed Use zoning regulations, is approved concurrently. If the Planning and
Development Board or the City Commission recommends conditions, they will be included within
Exhibit "D".

11. Master plan shows approximately 5 acres for open space concentrated at
southeast comer of project. Although individual site plans will be required
to show full compliance with objectiveslintent of SMU ordinance including
requirements for useable open space, this area is considerably smaller than
the total amount of use able open space required for the project. Either
expand the proposed recreation area to represent a greater portion of the
open space requirement, or alternatively, provide secondary open space
where originally proposed between lake parcel and eastern terminus of the
main street, and sized to at minimum provide for open vista to lake and
small gathering place. Remainder of required opens space can then be
represented, for example, by private recreation areas. the pedestrian
greenway, qualified green spaces and urban gathering spaces all to be
shown on the comprehensive site plan and individual site plans.
12. The 2nd traffic circle (easternmost) should be the prominent focal point. The
alignment of the north/south intersecting roadway should be straight
through, as depicted on the westernmost traffic circle, providing ease of
movement and clear vision through the intersection.

AGENDA ITEM 5G
From:
Staff
Date:
October 15,2004 Council Meeting
Subject:
Local Government Comprehensive Plan Review
Draft Amendments to the City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan
DCA Reference No. 04-2
Introduction
The Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act,
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, requires that Council review local government
comprehensive plan amendments prior to their adoption. Under the provisions of this
law, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) prepares an Objections,
Recommendations, and Comments (ORe) Report on a proposed amendment only if
requested to do so by the local government, the regional planning council, an affected
person, or if an ORC Report is otherwise deemed necessary by the DCA. If the local
government requests DCA to prepare an ORC Report, then Council must provide DCA
with its own objections, recommendations for modification, and comments on the
proposed amendment within 30 days of its receipt.
Background
The City of Boynton Beach has proposed two amendments to the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) and text amendments to the Future Land Use and Transportation elements of the
City comprehensive plan. The City has requested that the DCA carry out a fonnal review
of the amendments.
~.
Evaluation
Future Land Use Map
The proposed FLUM amendments are summarized in Table I, and the location of the
FLUM amendments is shown in the attached maps.

Mixed Use - Suburban
I. Boynton Village - This 81.8-acre parcel is presently vacant. The proposed use is for
a mixed-use development with 1,120 residential units; 10,000 square feet of office
space; and 149,000 square feet of commercial use. The existing FLUM designation is
Moderate Density Residential under which a maximum of 594 dwelling units could
be constructed. The proposed FLUM designation is Mixed-Use Suburban, a new
FLUM designation that would allow up to 20 residential dwelling units per acre and a
maximum floor area ratio of 1.0 for non-residential uses.
Existing land uses on surrounding properties include the C-16 (Boynton) Canal and
the Renaissance Commons Development of Regional Impact to the north; the E-4
Canal and single-family residential uses to the east; Old Boynton Road, residential
development, and vacant land to the south; and Congress Avenue with commerci;;1
development beyond to the west. Surrounding FLUM designations are Industrial to
the north, Low Density Residential to the east, Low Density Residential and High
Density Residential to the south, and Local Retail Commercial to the west.
The City anticipates no utility level of services issues, but the net increase of 8,664
new vehicular trips would cause Gateway Boulevard and Old Boynton Road to
operate at Level of Service "E". Phasing of the project will be necessary. Projected
roadway expansions to Gateway Boulevard and Old Boynton Road would require an
amendment to the Palm Beach County Five-Year Roadway Improvement Program.
.
.
The Palm Beach County School District review indicates that adequate capacity
exists to accommodate the projected student population.
2. Boynton Town Center - This 25-acre parcel is located immediately adjacent to the
Boynton Village property at the northeast comer of Congress Avenue and Old
Boynton Road. The property is currently vacant. The proposed use is for a
commercial retail development. The existing FLUM is Moderate Density Residential
that would allow a maximum of 182 dwelling units. The proposed FLUM
designation is Local Retail Commercial.
Existing land uses on surrounding properties include vacant land to the east and north,
Old Boynton Road and a commercial center beyond to the south, and Congress
Avenue with commercial development beyond to the west. Surrounding FLUM
designations include Moderate Density Residential (proposed Mixed Use - Suburban)
to the north and east and Local Retail Commercial to the south and west.
The City indicates that the proposed use is complimentary to existing uses in the
Congress A venue corridor and would serve the new residential development proposed
for the surrounding area. Connectivity with the mixed-use development to the north
will be required with the effect of minimizing the number of additional trips on
Congress Avenue. However, the project must be phased to coincide with the County
roadway and intersection improvements in the area and will require revisions to the
Palm Beach County Five-Year Roadway Improvement Plan. The City indicates that
retail commercial is a better use than residential for the property and may be the last
opportunity left in the City for this type of development. The City intends to limit
maximum development to 250,000 square feet.
Text Amendments
I. Future Land Use Element - Policy 1.16.1 is to be revised to add a new FLUM
category entitled "Mixed Use - Suburban" (MX-S). Allowable uses, densities, and
intensities of development are specified. The existing mixed-use FLUM category is
intended only for properties in the downtown and Community Redevelopment Area
(CRA) while the MX-S category is to be used for areas west of 1-95. Property that
receives the new MX-S category must front on an arterial roadway. It will allow up
to 20 dwelling units per acre and up to a I.<r'F AR. Eligible properties will be
required to submit a development plan with a single, unified design concurrent with
the application for the MX-S designation.
2. Transportation Element
a. Functional Classification Map - This map, Figure 4 of the Comprehensive Plan
Support Document, is based upon the Palm Beach County Functional
Classification Map. It is to be revised by including a new legend and by adding
two roadway segments as "Local Collectors". The segments are SE 4th Avenue
between Boynton Beach Boulevard and SE 12th Avenue and Martin Luther King
.
.
Junior Boulevard between Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard. This
designation is intended to support the implementation of redevelopment plans by
facilitating the designation of new zoning that will allow additional building
heights and higher residential densities consistent with those redevelopment plans.
b. Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) - Recently completed CRA
redevelopment plans seek livable, sustainable neighborhoods and provide the
catalyst for redevelopment and growth in the CRA. The plans recommended
increased residential densities and commercial intensities that will result in an
integrated mix of land uses that will enhance non-automobile traffic. This will,
however, result in additional vehicular traffic. If existing levels of service are to
be maintained, the potential of the downtown will be very limited. Thus, the City
proposes to designate a portion of the CRA as a TCEA so that the goals of infill
development and redevelopment can be achieved. The TCEA is proposed under
the requirements of Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code. These
requirements call for the designation of a specific geographic area proposed for
redevelopment with less than 40 percent vacant land. The City proposes to limit
the amount of development that can occur under the TCEA, establish
requirements for monitoring, and specify the action required if the TCEA has
negative effects on mobility. In order to move forward with the TCEA,
amendments were required to the Palm Beach County comprehensive plan. These
amendments were transmitted by the County on April 2004.
The City proposes a total of 42 amendments to the Transportation Element goals,
objectives, and policies in order to establish the TCEA. Some of the revised or
new goals, objectives, and policies address the following:
I. promotion of multi-modal transportation options (goal)
2. establishment of the TCEA (Policy 2.1.6)
3. required monitoring (Policy 2.1.7)
4. limitations on development (Policy 2.1.8)
5. coordination with the Housing and Coastal Management elements.-
6. commitment to implement an affordable housing program (Policy 2.2.5)
7. hurricane shelter space (Policy 2.2.6)
8. promotion of walking, bicycling, and public space especially in the CRA
and TCEA
9. pedestrian convenience and safety (policies 2.4.7, 2.4.8, and 2.4.9)
I
.
.
10. transit study requirement and augmentation of the existing local transit
circulation system (Policy 2.4.10)
II. coordination with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority
especially regarding passenger service to the FEC Railroad
12. Transportation Demand Management (Policy 2.7.5) and Transportation
System Management (Policy 2.7.6)
13. evaluation and improvement of transit services and cooperation with Palm
Tran
14. promotion of pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environment (Objective 2.12
and seven policies)
Extraiurisdictional Impacts
The proposed amendments were submitted to the Palm Beach County Intergovernmental
Plan Amendment Review Committee and were distributed on June 24, 2004. According
to the Clearinghouse Coordinator, no objections were received.
Effects on Significant Regional Resources or Facilities
Analysis of the proposed amendments indicates that they would not have adverse effects
on significant regional resources or facilities.
Obiections. Recommendations for Modification. and Comments
A. Objections
1. None
B. Comments
\. The City should not adopt the FLUM amendments until the required amendments
are made to the Palm Beach County r"ive-Year Roadway Improvement Program.
2. The City should consider designating both properties as MX-S and require that
the development plan for these adjacent properties contain a single, unified
design. This would better ensure that land use, building typology, street design,
and alternate modes of transportation are considered in a meaningful, consistent,
and unified way consistent with SRPP GoalS.\.
.
.
Recommendation
Council should adopt the above comments and approve their transmittal to the
Department of Community Affairs.

DCA Amendment #04.2
RULE DEFICIENCY:
9J-5.006(3Xc}7
9J-5.006(4}(c}
The proposed modifications create a new Mixed Use-Suburban future land use category.
CONCERN: Although the proposed text for the new mixed-use land use designation meets the
minimum requirements ofFAC 9J-5 regarding: the descriptions of allowed uses, the maximum
intensity and density of uses, and the percentage distnbutions among uses, text improvements in
these three areas are encouraged.
DISCUSSION: The Department supports the City's objective to establish a suburban mixed-use
future land use designation, since developing parcels with mixed uses has the potential to reduce
vehicular trips and encourage pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of transportation. A
functional mix of uses, incorporating residential, civic, service, and employment opportunities,
increases internal trip capture. To improve how land use and transportation are coordinated, and
to be more consistent with the City's objective, the following paragraphs offer suggestions to
enhance proposed policies.
The proposed amendment identifies the uses pemritted in the new land use category, yet it only
identifies "residential" and "commercial" uses when defining the ranges of allowable
percentages. Several of the permitted uses, such as commwrity centers, recreation facilities,
places of worship, schools, and police and fire stations, are typically considered "community
facility" or "civic" uses. It may be appropriate to identifY a third classification of uses, with a
separate percentage range. For example, a portion of sites designated Mixed Use-Suburban could
be devoted to public plazas, parks, or open space to create an inviting pedestrian atmosphere.
Another use clarification concerns hotel and motel uses, which may be considered either
residential or commercial, depending on the local government's preference. The classifications
of these uses should be made clear for this land use category.
To avoid conflicts in the future, it would be prudent to specifY how the density and intensity of
uses are calculated. A maximum density of 20 units per acre and a maxinnum intensity of Floor
Area Ratio (FAR) 1.0 are to be permitted. It is not clear if this means a parcel is allowed to

DISCUSSION, Continued:
develop 20 units per acre AND non-residential uses with FAR 1.0 as calculated based on total
acreage. Or, does the proposed number of units reduce the allowed maximum square footage for
non-residential uses? Similarly, it is not clear how the percentages of residential and oommercial
uses are to be calculated. Are these values calculated depending on total development square
footage or on the Wlderlying acreage? Based on what is proposed for Boynton Village, it appears
both the density/intensity and distribution calculations are related to the associated acreage being
used. Boynton Village is proposed to have 1,120 units, which at 20 units per acre "allocates" 56
acres of the site's 81 acres. The 56 acres equates to just under 70 percent of the 81-acre total,
where 70 percent is proposed to be the maximum allowed percentage of residential uses.
To ensure a functional mix ofuses on a site, it may be appropriate to identify a minimum density
and intensity for each use, especially for residential components, and require at least some small
amoWlt of civic or community uses to encourage pedestrian activity.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The City should clarify the allowed uses, specify how the allowed
densities and intensities of uses and their distributions are to be calculated, and identify
minimum and maxmnUB percentages of each land use proposed for the new mixed use
designation.

Mixed Use-Suburban (CPTA 04-002)
Future Land Use
DCA Amendment #04-2
RULE DEFICIENCY:
The proposed modifications create a new Mixed Use-Suburban future land use category.
COMMENT: Residential developments at densities of six to eight acres are considered
sufficiently populous to support transit services. The Milled Use-Suburban category proposes a
maximwn of 20 units per acre, which is highly supportive of transit. As such, the Department
recommends the City establish policies to encourage Mixed Use-Suburban sites promote transit
use and incorporate transit oriented design principles. Options to consider include requiring the
provision of pathways between uses and to transit stops, the provision of transit infrastructure
such as shelters, and the incorporation of transit stops or transfer stations on site. Designing
parking facilities so that they do not inhibit the movement of pedestrians between uses or to and
from transit facilities is another method to improve the comfort and convenience for pedestrians
and transit riders.
Using Boynton Village as an example, major commercial tenants exist across Congl"CSS Avenue
and Old Boynton Road. Safe pedestrian crossings could be created, so that residents may visit
the mall or shoppers may ''parl: once~ and visit multiple establishments. Opportunities for transit
travel are available since Palm Tran provides service along Congress Avenue and the Shopper
Hopper stops at the nemby Boynton Beach Mall. Furthermore, the MPO's Long Range
Transportation Plan identifies Community Bus Service in the City of Boynton Beach, and shows
service in the Congress Avenue corridor.

The proposed amendments will have the following affect on development potential:
Boynton Village amendment proposes changing the land use from Moderate Density Residential
(MoDR) to Mixed Use-Suburban (MX-S) for 81.81 acres located in the proximity of the
northeast comer of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road.
Boynton Town Center amendment proposes changing the land use from Moderate Density
Residential (MoDR) to Local Retail Commercial for 25 acres located at the northeast comer of
Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road.
CONCERN: The proposed amendments are submitted without providing the appropriate data
and analyses of impacts to the regional roadway network and State Highway System. In
particular, the data and analyses do not address peak hour volumes and distribution and are not
based on the maximum densities and intensities allowed in the future land use categories, both of
which may have identifiable level of service impacts. The supporting material d<Xls not
adequately address how the adopted level of service will be maintained on swrounding
roadways, especially those identified as constrained and in the bacldog of needed improvements,
in the short- and long-range planning horizons. Furthermore, coordination with other
transportation plans is not fully addressed.
DISCUSSION: The transportation planning process is an iterative cycle that relies on local
governments to identify projected impacts to roadways based on their development approvals.
Without an analysis of the potential traffic impacts to the surrounding roadway network, the City
is limited in its ability to react and coordinate with the County, the MPO, and the Department to
address future transportation demand and financing of needed infrastructure. The available
capacity for these roadways may prove inadequate to support the proposed increased traffic or
modified traffic patterns.

DISCUSSION Continued:
Analyses are provided that address trip generation with and without the proposed land use
changes, and identify existing and future capacity issues. However, the analyses do not address
peak hour, peak direction level of service impacts, which would provide the means to identify
existing and future capacity issues and reflect the most constrained time period for each affected
roadway.
It has been the Department's policy to require a traffic analysis that considers the maximum
development potential permitted by the future land use designation, to address changes the
proposed development may undergo that would result in higher densities and intensities. For
example, a condition of approval for the Boynton Town Center amendment is that development
be restricted to a maximum 250,000 square feet of commercial. Similarly, approval of the
Boynton Village amendment is conditioned on limiting development to 1,120 dwelling units,
10,000 square feet of office, and 149,000 square feet of retail commercial uses.
The traffic studies indicate the applicant will make road improvements to meet level of service
standards. However, these improvements are not included in the Transportation Improvement
Program or the Department's Adopted Work Program fur the next five years and the City's
Capital hnprovement Element, or another short-range transportation plan, should be updated to
show the committed improvements. Furthermore, implementation of the proposed improvement
on Old Boynton Road is questionable, since this roadway has a local, neighborhood character
and homes are in close proximity to the existing roadway. For these reasons, it seems unlikely
that increasing the number of lanes from two to five will be acceptable to the community. Also,
right-of-way acquisition and displacement costs may increase improvement costs beyond what is
feasible for the applicant to provide.

DISCUSSION Continued:
The 2020 traffic projections for these amendments show drops in the amount of traffic on several
roadway links from that projected for 2008. This difference is largely due to how these
projections are calculated; data for 2008 uses existing 2003 counts and adds in trips based on
growth rates, whereas the 2020 projections use the 2020 traffic volume projected by the County
via models and add trips for the amendments. It is unlikely that such drops in traffic volume will
be seen between 2008 and 2020, and as such the 2020 projected levels of service may be
susceptible to error. The Boynton Town Center amendment results in two such links on Congress
Avenue, and for the Boynton Town Village amendment, three links are identified, with two links
on Congress Avenue and the third on State Road 804lBoynton Beach Boulevard.
The City's Comprehensive Plan uses 2020 as its long term planning horizon. However, the
MPO's LRTP projects conditions for 2025, with updates for 2030 currently underway. To
coordinate impacts with the MPO's plans, the data and analysis should address 2025 as well.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The County should provide revised traffic data and analyses to
include the maximum development intensities and densities allowed by the proposed future land
use designations. The analyses should address peak hour and peak direction impacts to the
surrounding regional roadway network in the short- and long-term planning horizons. The
analysis should specify how level of service will be maintained and improvements necessary to
maintain level of selVice should be included in the City's Capital Improvement Element or
another medium range transportation plan. Lastly, coordination with MPO and Department work
plans should be addressed.

The South Florida Water Managcment DIstrict (SFWMD) C-16 Canal borders the site to
the north and the Lake Worth Drainage District (L WDD) E-4 Canal borders the sitc to the
cast.
The existing on-site conditions consist of undeveloped, unimproved pasture land
characterized by FLUCFCS 212. Stormwater runoff from the site currently sheet flows
towards the center of thc site, collecting in several low lying areas and eventually flows in
an easterly direction discharging to the L WDD E-4 canal. The project site is located
within the South Florida Watcr Management Districts C-16 Drainage Basin.
The proposed development includes two land use categories as approved by the City of
Boynton Beach. A 24.46 acre commercial area designated as C-3, will support
approximately 250,000 SF ofretail. The remaining 82.14 acres, designated as Suburban
Mixed Use (SMU), will support approximately 149,900 SF of a combination of retail and
office space as well as 1,120 residential units. A master stormwater system will be
constructed to provide the required water quality treatment and attenuation for the entire
106.60 acre site.
POST-DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
I. Storage for Water Quality
Wet detention volume will be provided for either the first inch of runoff from the
developed project, or the total runoff of 2.5 inches times the percentage of
imperviousness, whichever is greater.
One inch over the entire drainage area is calculated as follows:
I" x I 06.60 acres

At the 20% open space requirement and the use of approximately 8.20 acres of lake
surface, the entire site would require ct 14.80 acre-ft oftreatment volume per the above
equation. The control elevation of the lakes will be set at 8.50 ft NGVD, the wet season
high water table, and store to elevation 13.50 ft. NGVD.

II. Design Rainfall
The design rainfall events to be utilized in the storn1\vater model are taken from the
SFWMD Rainfall Charts C-3, C-8 and C9:
5 year 1 hour
Minimum inlet
- 3.1 in. rainfall
25 year 3 day
- Min. benn
= 14.0 in. rainfall
100 year 3 day
- Finished floor
- 17.8 in. rainfall
III. Allowable Discbarge
The allowable discharge rate into tbe C-16 basin is 62.6 CSM at a 25 year return period,
as detennined by L WDD and SFWMD. Based on the 106.60 acre site, the total
discharge rate is:
62.6 CSM - 0.098 CFS/AC * 106.60 acres = 10.45 cfs
The discharge will be directed through a control structure connecting the 7.54 acre lake
parcel to the LWDD E-4 Canal. A 6" by 6" inverted triangle orifice, the minimum
allowed by Lake Worth Drainage District, will be set at the control elevation of 8.50 ft.
The weir will be set at the 25- Year, 3-day stann maximum stage as detennined in the
stonnwater model.
IV. Tailwater
The tailwater elevation of8.5 ft. NGVD is based on Lake Worth Drainage District
Maintenance Elevation data of the Lateral 24 canal.
V. Surface Storage
The project storage areas will be calculated and input into ICPR Version 2.11. The
rainfall events and surface storage will be modeled for the 5-year I-hour, 25-year 72-
hour, and 100-year 72-hour stann events.
