CODE REVIEW (CDRV) 03-001
Amend Mixed Use-High Intensity (MU-H) zoning district regulations to
allow Residential Single Family Attached Uses
NATURE OF REOUEST
Mr. Lawrence Justiz, agent for TRG-Boynton Beach, Ltd. is requesting an amendment to
the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 6.F. MIXED USE
ZONING DISTRICTS, TABLE 6F-1, SCHEDULE OF PERMmED PRINCIPAL, ACCESSORY
AND CONDmONAL USES to include Residential, Single-Family, Attached use as a
permitted use in the Mixed Use-High Intensity (MU-H) zoning district (see Exhibit "A" _
statement of request). The specific location where this would first be applied is the
area that was rezoned to the Mixed Use-High Intensity (MU-H) zoning district on
September 17, 2002, and encompasses the site of the proposed Marina Village at
Boynton Beach (see Exhibit "B" -Location).
BACKGROUND
The City's Land Development Regulations were amended on June 18, 2002 to adopt
zdnil1g regulations for the Mixed Use zoning districts, which include Mixed Use-Low
Intensity (MU-L) and Mixed Use-High Intensity (MU-H). The major purpose of the
amendments was to enable redevelopment efforts in the urban core of the Federal
Highway Corridor Redevelopment Area. The urban core extends along Federal Highway
from Woolbright Road on the south to the Boynton (C-16) Canal on the north. While
the MU-L district atlows both single-family attached units and single-family detached
units, as well as multi-family residential development, the MU-H district allows only
multi-family residential development.
The site plan for the proposed Marina Village shows a row of twelve (12) three-story
Page 2
CDRV 03-001
Townhouses in MU-H
townhouses along the south side of the North Marina; since the Marina Village is zoned
Mixed Use-High Intensity (MU-H), this code amendment will be necessary for the
approval of the site plan as presented.
ANALYSIS
The development of the Mixed Use (Mixed Use-Low Intensity (MU-L) and Mixed Use-
High Intensity (MU-H) zoning districts was an implementation measure of the Federal
Hiahwav Corridor Redevelooment Plan. The Mixed Use-High Intensity zoning district
encourages development that is the most intense allowed in the City with residential
densities at a maximum of 80 dwelling units per acre, 85% lot coverage, and a
maximum height of 150 feet. The district is restricted to a very small area that has
been the traditional downtown of Boynton Beach. The intent behind allowing the high
density and intensity of development in this area is "to establish a compactness and
critical mass of development and population to establish the downtown as a destination
area, and to ensure its success and long term viability."
In order to create this critical mass, one of the stated strategies outlined in the Federal
Hiahwav Corridor Redevelooment Plan was to: "Create development standards in the
downtown that require intensity, bulk and building massing to establish the downtown
area as a focal pOint. Building height at heights greater than that allowed in the
surrounding areas should be encouraged." The area where the Mixed Use-High
Intensity zoning district may be applied contains only approximately 75 acres in the
center of the area of the Federal Highway Corridor. This is a very small portion of the
area, and townhouse developments are permitted throughout the remainder of the
corridor, through either the Mixed Use-Low Intensity (MU-L) zoning district or the Infill
Planned Unit Development (IPUD) district.
Generally, densities for townhouse developments range between 12 and 16 units per
acre, depending on the amenities being provided to the residents. Average height is
three-stories, with some developments reaching four-stories, or approximately 45 feet.
If single-family attached dwellings, or townhouses, become a permitted use in the high-
density and intensity area, the Mixed Use-High Intensity zoning district will no longer
serve to establish the critical mass of population so necessary to underpin the success
of the downtown. This change may also combine a residential use that is less
compatible than mUlti-family uses in an activity center.
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's opinion that the existing regulations are established to achieve a specific
purpose: "to establish a compactness and critical mass of development and population
to establish the downtown as a destination area, and to ensure its success and long
term viability." The requested amendment to the zoning regulations for this district will
serve to weaken the code's ability to achieve that purpose. In addition, there are
Page 3
CORV 03-001
Townhouses in MU-H
sufficient areas elsewhere in the Federal Corridor Redevelopment Area, where
townhouse developments are both permitted and encouraged, that the requested
amendment is not necessary in order to provide a variety of housing types and price
ranges to serve the existing and future population of the City of Boynton Beach. Lastly,
placing townhouses between the marina facilities, which typically attract people, and
the main traffic route further lowers the potential of the proposed Marina project as a
pedestrian-friendly destination. Therefore, staff recommends that the request for code
amendment be denied.
If the CRA or the City Commission approves the request, staff recommends that a
condition be added to limit single family attached units to no more than five percent
(5%) of the total residential units in any single development.

RE: Marina VilIa2e at Bovnton Beach Request for a 20nin2 Use Amendment to the
Mixed Use Hi2h Intensity 20niu2 District
Dear Mr. Rumph:
As you know, the site plan we submitted on February 5, 2003 for Marina Village at
Boynton Beach includes twelve (12) townhouse units on the South side of the marina.
Ordinance 02-024, which created the Mixed Use High Intensity Zoning District, does not
permit "Residential, Single Family Attached," or townhouses, within this District
This letter will serve as our request to the City to amend the Mixed Use High Intensity
Zoning District to allow for the development of "Residential, Single Family Attached"
units. This will allow for our townhouse units, as shown in our current site plan, to be
considered by the CRA and the City Commission as a permitted use.
The only amendment necessary to accomplish this is to change the "N" to "P" in Table
6F-I (row entitled "Residential, Single Family Attached," column entitled "MU-H
Zone."
Thanks for your assistance, and please call me if you have any questions. My cel! phone
is: (786) 236-5328.
Sincerely,
THE RELATED GROUP OF FLORIDA
