PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated Applicant/Agent: Mr. Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Consultants Location: 2360 N. Federal Highway Boynton Beach, FL Existing Land Use/Zoning: Local Retail Commercial (LRC) / Community Commercial (C-3) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: No change proposed Proposed Use: 681 square foot addition to gasoline dispensing establishment (limited to a maximum of 600 square feet by Condition of Approval for appeal - ADAP 02- 001). Acreage: 0.48 Acre (20,830 square feet) Adjacent Uses: (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) North: Multi-family residential property, zoned Community Commercial (C-3); South: Right-of-way for Las Palmas Avenue, and farther south are single-family attached townhouses under construction (The Harbors), zoned Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD); East: Vacant commercial lot zoned Community Commercial (C-3) currently under review for a proposed car wash, and farther east is a single-family residential dwelling (part of Las Palmas development), zoned Single-family residential, (R-l-AA); and West: Rights-of-way of U.s. 1 and the Florida East Coast Railroad, and farther west developed Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-226 Page 2 commercial property classified Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-2). PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject conditional use were mailed a notice of this request and its respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007. BACKGROUND Mr. Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Zoning Consultants, agent for SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated is requesting conditional use / major site plan modification approval involving a series of variance requests in order to construct a 681 square foot building addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment. The applicant is also proposing new parking spaces, additional landscaping, and a general "make-over" of the exterior facades of the existing building building and canopy. However, the number of gasoline pump islands and fueling positions would remain unaltered. The proposed building expansion is being considered for conditional use approval because gasoline dispensing establishments are only allowed as conditional uses in the C-3 zoning district. Also, it should be noted that this particular gas-station is a legal non-conforming use because it is currently a fully functional, operating, and licensed gas station but does meet the locational criteria for gas stations as outlined by Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.a.(2) of the Land Development Regulations. The aforementioned code requires gas stations to be located only on parcels of land located at intersections "consisting of roads of four (4) lanes or wider"; Las Palmas is only two (2) lanes wide. In 2002, Mr. Beril Kruger, acting on behalf of Mr. Zuhair Marouf, expressed a desire to construct a building addition to the existing gas station, in part, to satisfy outstanding code enforcement violations. He also proposed direct access between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east (which was previously earmarked for a mechanical car wash). The direct access was proposed in order to minimize vehicular traffic spilling onto Las Palmas Avenue. Mr. Kruger's inquiries were based on the presumption that the proposed 681 square foot expansion would be permitted (by right) and that direct access to the abutting lot (to the east) would only require site plan review. However, after careful consideration, staff determined that the building addition would not be permitted (by-right) because it would represent an unlawful expansion of a legal non-conforming use (a gasoline-dispensing establishment). Furthermore, in response to Mr. Kruger's inquiries, on July 16, 2002, the Director of Planning & Zoning issued an administrative determination letter that basically prohibited the applicant from increasing the size of the gas-station building because by doing so, would constitute a violation of Chapter 2, Sections D and G of the Land Development Regulations. Regarding the direct access between lots, the Director determined that the proposed driveway connection between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east would be permitted subsequent to site plan review. However, the direct access would only be allowed contingent upon the recordation of a legally binding cross-access agreement between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east. On July 31, 2002, Mr. Kruger submitted a formal appeal of the staff's aforementioned administrative determination. According to the applicant, "in summary, the appeal justifies the proposed expansion by the position that retail sales at this business is a separate component from the non-conforming aspect-gasoline sales, which component can therefore be altered / expanded independent of the gasoline sales element of the business". Again, staff disagreed with the applicant's position. However, the City Commission approved the applicant's appeal but with the condition that the expansion would be limited to 600 square feet. On June 17, 2003, Mr. Kruger submitted a request for conditional use / major site plan modification approval and its accompanying variances for the construction of the building addition. Both staff and the CRA reviewed the site plan and the variances and recommended approval contingent upon 43 conditions of approval, one of which, Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-226 Page 3 limited the buidling addition to 600 square feet. On October 21, 2003, the City Commission approved their request for conditional use / major site plan modification and the accompanying variances. However, on November 18, 2003, the City Commission rescinded their previous approvals. Most recently, on August 11, 2004, Mr. Kruger re-submitted a revised request for major site plan modification and the accompanying variances. If approved, the construction of the addition, parking lot, and fa~ade improvements would occur in one (1) phase. It should be noted that the difference between this submittal and the original submittal as described above, is that the proposed car wash on the abutting property (to the east) has been abandoned. As such, the drive aisle that was to connect to the lot to the east has also been eliminated from the design. As part of the major site plan modification process, the site has to meet all the requirments of the Land Development Regulations or obtain relief if necessary. Mr. Beril Kruger is requesting relief from the above- referenced Land Development Regulations, which requires a twenty (20) foot rear setback for builidngs in the the C-3 zoning district. However, the proposed addition would encroach into the setback by 10 feet. Therefore, a variance of 10 feet would be required for the proposed building addition. ANALYSIS The code states that the zoning code variance cannot be approved unless the board finds the following: a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. f. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Staff conducted the analysis focusing on the applicant's response to the above criteria contained in Exhibit "e" - Marouf Shell Variances, which requires the request be initiated because of special conditions and circumstances that are peculiar to the subject land, structure, or building, which are not the result of the actions of the applicant, and that the request is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. The subject request has been initiated in preparation for the construction of an addition to the existing gas station business. The applicant desires to build along the rear of the original building leaving all mechanical equipment in their existing location, which forces the encroachment into the rear seatback. The stepping back of the addition from the rear of the existing structure to accommodate the mechanical equipment has generated the circumstances. The subject property has been improved with a gas station business, and occupied since 1965. The fact that the applicant has the ability to construct at the appropriate setback line clearly demonstrates that, criteria items "a" and "c" are not met. Further, since the necessity for the variance has been caused by the proposed addition, condition "b" above is also not satisfied. Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-226 Page 4 The overall objective of the Land Development Regulations is to ensure the safety and welfare of the public by providing regulations and standards in which to achieve consistent equitable developments. The proposed addition would be setback approximately ten (10) feet from the rear property line, half of the distance required by code. Furthermore, notwithstanding interior layout and design objectives, there currently exists nearly 34 feet of depth to the rear property line when measured from the deepest dimension from the existing rear fac;ade. The expansion could be as deep as 14 feet, and extend over 50 feet in length without encroaching into the rear setback, if the mechanical equipment was relocated. To further support the potential for the expansion to be designed to comply with setbacks, is the existing requirement that it (the proposed addition) be reduced in size in order to comply with the City Commission's condition of approval from the administrative appeal. The granting of this variance would be an acknowledgement that there exists no alternative in either the structure size or location. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATION Based on a strict interpretation of the variance criteria, staff recommends that the request for relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 11, Supplemental Regulations L.3.e. (3), requiring a minimum rear yard setback of 20 feet for a gasoline dispensing establishment within the C-3 zoning district, to allow for a variance of 10 feet, and a rear yard setback of 10 feet be denied, due to the lack of hardship, and due to the circumstance being created by the actions of the applicant. Should the subject request be approved, staff is recommending that the addition be limited to a maximum of 600 square feet as prescibed by condition of approval for appeal ADAP 02-001. Also, staff recommends that the minimum height of new trees shall be 14 feet at the time of installation in order to provide the necessary buffering along the north, south, and east sides of the project. Any additional conditions of approval added by the Community Redevelopment Agency Board or the City Commission will be placed in the Exhibit "D" - Conditions of Approval.

(1) No driveway shall be located less than One Hundred Ten (110') feet from the intersecting right-of-way lines of public streets. (3) Driveways shall be located less than thirty (30) feet from any interior property line. (4) Driveways will be limited to one per street frontage. ( 1 ) Request a variance from this section of the code as the site has only 140 LF of frontage along N. Federal Highway and 123 LF of frontage on Las Palmas. Therefore it would be impossible for any driveways to be 110' to meet this current code. (3) Due to the fact that this is an existing Gas Station and is only being upgraded for looks, the driveways must stay in their current locations because the traffic patterns ihave already been set and cannot be changed. Gasoline Tankers must be able to enter and leave the premises from the existing driveways. (4) Due to the Gasoline Tankers entering and leaving and the location of the fillers for the tanks, these driveways must remain in their current locations. L.3.e. (3), Rear Setbacks Rear Setbacks are required to be 20' and we are proposing only a 10' rear setback. L.3.e.(a). No Canopy shall be located less than 20' from the property line The Canopy is 9.5 feet from the front (west) property line. We are requesting a 10.5 foot variance to allow a 9.5 foot front setback for the existing canopy. L.3.e. (b). No gasoline pump island shall be located less than 30' from any property line. The existing gasoline pump island is 19.8 feet from the front (west) property line. The required front gasoline pump island setback is 30 feet so we are requesting a variance of 10.2 feet from the front property line to allow the 19.8 foot gasoline pump island setback. . I:. .

This buffer shall contain one tree 10' to 15' in height with a minimum 3" caliper every 30', a continuous hedge 24" high, 24" ole at time of planting with flowering ground cover. We do not have a landscape buffer along the westerly street frontage (N. Federal Hwy.) so we are requesting a variance of 10 feet from the required 10 foot landscape buffer. The Landscape buffer we are proposing along the south street frontage (Las Palmas) is only 5 feet with a requirement of 10 feet. We are therefore requesting a variance of 5 feet for the 10 foot landscape buffer. We are requesting from the Engineering Department to be allowed to landscape the area between property line and the street. L.4.b Buffers (Interior Property Lines) (a) A 5' wide landscaped buffer shall be located on all interior property lines. When the buffer separates the property from other commercial property, the buffer shall not be required to contain a concrete wall.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated Applicant/Agent: Mr. Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Consultants Location: 2360 N. Federal Highway Boynton Beach, FL Existing Land Use/Zoning: Local Retail Commercial (LRC) / Community Commercial (C-3) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: No change proposed Proposed Use: 681 square foot addition to gasoline dispensing establishment (limited to a maximum of 600 square feet by Condition of Approval for appeal - ADAP 02-001). Acreage: 0.48 Acre (20,830 square feet) Adjacent Uses: (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-227 Page 2 North: A multi-family residential property, zoned Community Commercial (C-3); South: Right-of-way for Las Palmas Avenue, and farther south are single-family attached townhouses under construction (The Harbors), zoned I nfi II Planned Unit Development (IPUD); East: Vacant commercial lot zoned Community Commercial (C-3) currently under review for a proposed car wash, and farther east is a single-family residential dwelling (part of Las Palmas development), zoned Single-family residential, (R-1-AA); and West: Rights-of-way of U.S. 1 and the Florida East Coast Railroad, and farther west developed commercial property classified Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-2). PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject conditional use were mailed a notice of this request and its respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007. BACKGROUND Mr. Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Zoning Consultants, agent for SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated is requesting conditional use / major site plan modification approval involving a series of variance requests in order to construct a 681 square foot building addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment. The applicant is also proposing new parking spaces, additional landscaping, and a general "make-over" of the exterior facades of the existing building and canopy. However, the number of gasoline pump islands and fueling positions would remain unaltered. The proposed building expansion is being considered for conditional use approval because gasoline dispensing establishments are only allowed as conditional uses in the C-3 zoning district. Also, it should be noted that this particular gas-station is a legal non-conforming use because it is currently a fully functional, operating, and licensed gas station but does meet the locational criteria for gas stations as outlined by Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.a.(2) of the Land Development Regulations. The aforementioned code requires gas stations to be located only on parcels of land located at intersections "consisting of roads of four (4) lanes or wider"; Las Palmas is only two (2) lanes wide. In 2002, Mr. Beril Kruger, acting on behalf of Mr. Zuhair Marouf, expressed a desire to construct a building addition to the existing gas station, in part, to satisfy outstanding code enforcement violations. He also proposed direct access between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east (which was previously earmarked for a mechanical car wash). The direct access was proposed in order to minimize vehicular traffic spilling onto Las Palmas Avenue. Mr. Kruger's inquiries were based on the presumption that the proposed 681 square foot expansion would be permitted (by right) and that direct access to the abutting lot (to the east) would only require site plan review. However, after careful consideration, staff determined that the building addition would not be permitted (by-right) because it would represent an unlawful expansion of a legal non-conforming use (a gasoline-dispensing establishment). Furthermore, in response to Mr. Kruger's inquiries, on July 16, 2002, the Director of Planning & Zoning issued an administrative determination letter that basically prohibited the applicant from increasing the size of the gas-station building because by doing so, would constitute a violation of Chapter 2, Sections D and G of the Land Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-227 Page 3 Development Regulations. Regarding the direct access between lots, the Director determined that the proposed driveway connection between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east would be permitted subsequent to site plan review. However, the direct access would only be allowed contingent upon the recordation of a legally binding cross-access agreement between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east. On July 31, 2002, Mr. Kruger submitted a formal appeal of the staff's aforementioned administrative determination. According to the applicant, "in summary, the appeal justifies the proposed expansion by the position that retail sales at this business is a separate component from the non-conforming aspect-gasoline sales, which component can therefore be altered / expanded independent of the gasoline sales element of the business". Again, staff disagreed with the applicant's position. However, the City Commission approved the applicant's appeal but with the condition that the expansion would be limited to 600 square feet. On June 17, 2003, Mr. Kruger submitted a request for conditional use / major site plan modification approval and its accompanying variances for the construction of the building addition. Both staff and the CRA reviewed the site plan and the variances and recommended approval contingent upon 43 conditions of approval, one of which, limited the building addition to 600 square feet. On October 21, 2003, the City Commission approved their request for conditional use / major site plan modification and the accompanying variances. However, on November 18, 2003, the City Commission rescinded their previous approvals. Most recently, on August 11, 2004, Mr. Kruger re-submitted a revised request for major site plan modification and the accompanying variances. If approved, the construction of the addition, parking lot, and fa~ade improvements would occur in one (1) phase. It should be noted that the difference between this submittal and the original submittal as described above, is that the proposed car wash on the abutting property (to the east) has been abandoned. As such, the drive aisle that was to connect to the lot to the east has also been eliminated from the design. As part of the major site plan modification process, the site has to meet all the requirements of the Land Development Regulations or obtain relief if necessary. Mr. Beril Kruger is requesting relief from the above- referenced Land Development Regulations, which directly relate to setbacks of existing structures. The first component of the variance request relates to the existing canopy. The code requires canopies (of gasoline dispensing establishments) to be located no less than twenty (20) feet from any property line. The canopy is only 9.5 feet from the property line so therefore, a 10.5-foot variance would be required. The second component of the variance request deals with the existing gasoline pump islands. The code requires gasoline pump islands be located no less than thirty (30) feet from any property line. The gasoline pump island is only 19.8 feet from the property line so therefore, a 1D.2-foot variance would be required as a result of the major site plan modification request. ANALYSIS The code states that the zoning code variance cannot be approved unless the board finds the following: a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights Staff Report Memorandum No PZ-04-227 Page 4 commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the lancl building, or structure. f. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Staff conducted the analysis focusing on the applicant's response to the above criteria contained in Exhibit "C" - Marouf Shell Variances, which requires the request be initiated because of special conditions and circumstances that are peculiar to the subject land, structure, or building, which are not the result of the actions of the applicant, and that the request is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. The subject request has been initiated in preparation for the construction of an addition to the existing gas station business. The applicant desires to maintain the existing canopy and gasoline pump islands at their current location, which do not conform to current setback requirements. The subject property has been improved with a gas station business, and occupied since 1965. In order to meet minimum setbacks, the canopy and gasoline pump islands would have to be relocated, which may be cost prohibitive or significantly impact the business operation due to site constraints. Understanding that the structures exist and the subject requests represent the minimum variances that will make reasonable use of an existing gasoline dispensing establishment, and will not be injurious to the area, criteria items "e" and "f" appear to be supported by the variance request. The overall objective of the Land Development Regulations is to insure the welfare and safety of the public by providing regulations and standards in which to achieve consistent equitable developments. Staff understands that the proposed requests represent a modest distance to sustain existence of components necessary and integral to the functions of the applicant's business. Although the pump island setback is in part related to life safety, with physical barriers between the pumps and adjacent right-of-way, and modern shut-off equipment, staff cannot measure the decrease, if any, in safety as a result of the pumps being approximately 10 feet closer to the right-of-way than allowed by code. CONCLUSIONS I RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis contained herein, Staff recommends that the requested variances be approved. No conditions of approval are recommended; however, any conditions of approval added by the Community Redevelopment Agency Board or the City Commission will be placed in the Exhibit "D" - Conditions of Approval.

II Supplemental ReQulations L.3.d.(1), (3), (4), Drivewavs Co (1) No driveway shall be located less than One Hundred Ten (110') feet from the intersecting right-of-way lines of public streets. (3) Driveways shall be located less than thirty (30) feet from any interior property line. (4) Driveways will be limited to one per street frontage. (1) Request a variance from this section of the code as the site has only 140 LF of frontage along N. Federal Highway and 123 LF of frontage on Las Palmas. Therefore it would be impossible for any driveways to be 110' to meet this current code. (3) Due to the fact that this is an existing Gas Station and is only being upgraded for looks, the driveways must stay in their current locations because the traffic patterns; have already been set and cannot be changed. Gasoline Tankers must be able to enter and leave the premises from the existing driveways. (4) Due to the Gasoline Tankers entering and leaving and the location of the fillers for the tanks, these driveways must remain in their current locations. L.3.e. (3), Rear Setbacks Rear Setbacks are required to be 20' and we are proposing only a 10' rear setback. L.3.e. (a). No Canopy shall be located less than 20' from the property line The Canopy is 9.5 feet from the front (west) property line. We are requesting a 10.5 foot variance to allow a 9.5 foot front setback for the existing canopy. L.3.e. (b). No gasoline pump island shall be located less than 30' from any property line. The existing gasoline pump island is 19.8 feet from the front (west) property line. The required front gasoline pump island setback is 30 feet so we are requesting a variance of 10.2 feet from the front property line to allow the 19.8 foot gasoline pump island setback. '\ MAROUF SHELL VARIANC Page 2 EXHIBIT "c" L. 3. f. (1) BUFFERS A 10' wide landscape buffer shall be located along the street frontage. This buffer shall contain one tree 10' to 15' in height with a minimum 3" caliper every 30', a continuous hedge 24" high, 24" ole at time of planting with flowering ground cover. We do not have a landscape buffer along the westerly street frontage (N. Federal Hwy.) so we are requesting a variance of 10 feet from the required 10 foot landscape buffer. The Landscape buffer we are proposing along the south street frontage (Las Palmas) is only 5 feet with a requirement of 10 feet. We are therefore requesting a variance of 5 feet for the 10 foot landscape buffer. We are requesting from the Engineering Department to be allowed to landscape the area between property line and the street. L.4.b Buffers (Interior Property Lines) (a) A 5' wide landscaped buffer shall be located on all interior property lines. When the buffer separates the property from other commercial property, the buffer shall not be required to contain a concrete wall.
