REVIEW COMMENTS - Ci 1. Y OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORID1\. INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FRO. DATE: July 1, 2004 FILE: Public Safety Impact- Police Service Department of Development, Planning and Zoning Memorandum PZ 04-150 Chief Bingham MEMO ENCLOSURES: Same as Above From my review of the draft staff report dated June 30, 2004 for the Promenade concerning the impact the proposed development would have on police services I submit the following: It is a given that our agency is undermanned and over tasked and any significant tasking (additional commercial and multi-family occupancy) will undoubtedly have a negative impact on our ability to provide adequate service unless we immediately begin to compensate for our shortfall in personnel. Last year our department handled 72,005 calls for service, compared to 61,833 calls in 2000. This is a'14% increase in an already impressive call volume for a city of a little over 60,000. It should also be noted that we have also increased our arrests by 25% since 2000. I recommend that proposed significant increases in our business and civilian population be tied to the addition of officers on the force. ". U\i ,J\.l' e. Flower containers. To add color and soften sidewalk paving with plants. flower containers containing blooming annuals or perennials are encouraged to be planted and maintained along facades of new building fronting on anerial roadways in the MU-H District. 9. Parking requirements. Parking requirements for both the MU-H and MU-L zoning districts shall be as set forth by Chapter 2, Section IIH, of the Land Development Code. Chapter 2, Section 111, shall apply only to the MU-H zoning district. a. On-site parking facilities shall be located to the rear or side of the structure they are intended to serve and screened from view from public streets, notwithstanding other provisions of these regulations that require a specific residential auto- mobile garage setback, and subsections 9.d. and 9.e. below, permitting understory parking and regulating parking garages. (1) The intent of this provision is that parking facilities not be prominent. as viewed from the street(s) that serve(s) as the main orientation for the principal building(s), in order to emphasize buildings Zoning 34K and pedestrian features and de-emphasize parking facilities. (2) In order to best achieve this objective. rear parking is preferable to side yard parking. (3) Access to parking shall be from side streets not serving as the principal structure's main frontage, when possible, in order to minimize vehicle/pedestrian conflicts along sidewalks resulting from driveway crossings. b.

PZ 04-144 STAFF REPORT TO: Chairman and Members Community Redevelopment Agency and City Commission Michael Rumpf \\.~ Planning and Zoning Director THRU: FROM: Eric Lee Johnson, AICP Planner 'f DATE: June 28, 2004 PROJECT NAME/NO: The Promenade / NWSP 04-009 REQUEST: New Site Plan Property Owner: Boynton Beach Waterways Investment Associates, LLC Applicant: Boynton Beach Waterways Investment Associates, LLC Agent: Mr. Michael Weiner / Weiner & Aronson P.A. Location: Northeast corner of North Federal Highway and Boynton Beach Boulevard Existing Land Use: Mixed Use (MX) Existing Zoning: Central Business District (CBD) Proposed Land Use: Mixed Use Core (MXC) Proposed Zoning: Mixed Use-High (MU-H) Restaurant 3,000 square feet Proposed Use: Retail 19,200 square feet Hotel 68 units Residential 318 Condominium Units Acreage: 173,151 square feet (3.975 acres) Adjacent Uses: North: Right-of-way for Northeast 4th Avenue, then farther north is developed commercial property, with a Mixed Use (MX) land use classification, zoned Central Business District (CBD); South: Right-of-way for future Boynton Beach Boulevard, then farther south is a vacant lot with a Mixed Use Core (MXC) land use classification, zoned Central Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 2 East: West: Proposal: Concurrency: Traffic: Utilities: Business District (CBD); Mangrove Walk at the Marina Right-of-way for Federal Highway, then farther west is developed commercial (Eckerd's Drug Store) with a Mixed Use (MX) land use classification, zoned Central Business District (CBD). BACKGROUND Mr. Michael Weiner, agent for the property owner (Boynton Beach Waterways Investment Associates, LLC is requesting to develop a large-scale mixed-use project. The project would consist of three (3) separate buildings ranging from two (2) stories to 14 stories. On the site plan, the proposed buildings are shown as one (1) large mixed-use building (parking garage, retail, restaurant, dwelling units, hotel units) while the other buildings proposed along Federal Highway would be comprised of just retail users. Approval of this project is contingent upon the accompanying request to rezone (REZN 04-002) the property from Central Business District (CBD) to Mixed-Use High (MU-H). The applicant has also submitted a request for height exception (HTEX 04-002) because as proposed, portions of the building would exceed the Mixed Use Core maximum allowable height (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). As of today, this project represents the third major "mixed-use" development for the City within the newly created MU-H zoning district. The project is to be built within one (1) phase with an anticipated completion date of December of 2006. ANALYSIS Generally, a project's anticipated traffic is generated by two factors, namely the proposed use and its intensity. The project intensity is typically measured by the proposed building area (in square feet). This project's traffic study was reviewed and approved by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division. Based on the Traffic Division's review, it has been determined that the residential portion of the proposed mixed-use redevelopment project is located within the Coastal Residential Exception Areas of Palm Beach County, and the non-residential portion generates less peak hour trips than the existing uses. Therefore, the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building permits are to be issued after the build-out date (2006). The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Subsequent to the Traffic Division approval however, the proposed plans were revised to reflect slightly different intensities. Since the Traffic Division already approved the traffic study for concurrency purposes, this minor discrepancy between the traffic study and the site plan shall be rectified during the permit review process (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Estimates based on the City's adopted Levels of Service indicate that total Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 3 potable water demand for the proposed 318 condominium and 68 hotel units will be approximately 165,980 gallons per day (gpd) and sewage flow demand will be approximately 74,691 gpd. More exact calculations of these demands will be made at the time of building permit application submittal. As of July 1, 2004, sufficient wastewater capacity is available to serve this project. The City of Boynton Beach is proceeding with plans for the purchase of surplus potable water from Palm Beach County Utilities, via existing interconnection points, to supplement its current capacity. This purchase agreement will be in effect within a few months and will provide sufficient capacity to serve this project. Sufficient wastewater capacity is currently available to serve this project, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan. Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). School: The project has met the school concurrency requirements of Palm Beach County for 317 dwelling units. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the project must obtain the School District's approval for an extra dwelling unit (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Driveways: The project can be characterized as "urban / infill" development whereby front building setbacks are minimal and off-street parking is relegated to a subordinate role. The plans show that a parking garage would provide for the vast majority of off-street parking spaces and is intentionally proposed as a hidden structure within the core of the project. Also, the project is not proposing traditional driveways and surface parking lots like "suburban"-type projects (where driveways connect to off- street parking located in front of the buildings). Conversely, this project proposes only one surface parking lot. The project's main point of ingress is proposed on Federal Highway. The entrance would be 23 feet in width and the aisle would run in an east-west direction. It would allow vehicles to drive up to the porte-cochere of the 14-story building and then either steer vehicles to surface parking or back onto Federal Highway. The point of egress proposed on Federal Highway would also be 23 feet in width. It would allow for right-turn only traffic movement onto Federal Highway. The surface parking lot would contain six (6) parallel parking spaces. The lot would be nestled between the buildings, unseen from adjacent rights-of-way. Vehicles must circulate through the porte-cochere on the main driveway in order to access the surface parking lot. The point of egress from the surface parking lot is proposed on Northeast 4th Avenue. This point of egress from the surface parking lot to Northeast 4th Avenue would be approximately 14 feet in width. The parking garage would have two (2) entrances of its own, one on Northeast 4th Avenue and the other on Boynton Beach Boulevard. Both driveway openings would Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 4 allow for ingress / egress movements. All other entrances to the development are for pedestrians only. Parking Facility: Off-street parking for the proposed MU-H zoning district must meet the requirements in Chapter 2, Section n.H., of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations. The project proposes a mix of residential, hotel, retail, and restaurant uses. One-bedroom apartment units require one and one-half (1 V2) parking spaces. Two and three bedroom apartment units require two (2) parking spaces each. The project proposes 318 units (a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms), requiring 595 parking spaces. Restaurant uses require one (1) parking space per 100 square feet of gross floor area or one (1) parking space per 2.5 seats. Since the total number of seats is undetermined at this time, the parking methodology would be based on the gross floor area (3,000 square feet). Based on the gross floor area, the restaurant use would require 30 parking spaces, the equivalent of 75 seats. Retail uses proposed within mixed-use projects require one (1) parking space per 200 square feet of leasable floor area. For this project, a total of 81 parking spaces would be required for the retail uses. Hotel rooms require one and a quarter spaces (1114) spaces for each room. The project proposes 68 hotel rooms and therefore, 85 parking spaces would be required. In conclusion, under these standardized parking methodologies, a grand total of 791 parking spaces would be required. However, the project would only provide a total of 750 parking spaces, a deficiency of 41 spaces. However, because the applicant is simultaneously requesting to rezone the property from Central Business District (CBD) to the Mixed Use-High (MU-H), the project would be permitted to utilize the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Table methodology as a basis for calculating the required number of off-street parking spaces. Therefore, based on the Shared Parking Table, the proposed uses and their respective building areas would require a grand total of 771 parking spaces (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). The plans propose a four (4)-story parking garage that would accommodate up to 731 vehicles. In addition, the applicant also submitted a request for code review, which aims to re-evaluate and modify the Land Development Regulations with regards to the "downtown" parking space requirements. The code review application and the requested changes would potentially impact this project. Therefore, approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request for code review (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). According to the 1st Floor Plan, a total of 129 parking spaces are proposed on the ground floor. This would include the six (6) surface parking spaces used for "convenience parking". Levels 2 and 3 would each provide 203 spaces while Level 4 would provide 215 parking spaces. All levels would have a certain amount of "tandem" parking spaces, mostly associated with the residential units. As previously mentioned, the surface parking lot is proposed within the interior of two (2) buildings. This lot would extend between main drive and Northeast 4th Avenue. Regular parking space dimensions would conform to code requirements of nine feet by eighteen feet for 90 degree parking and nine feet by twenty-five feet for parallel spaces. Handicap spaces would be dimensioned twelve feet by eighteen feet. Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 5 In conclusion, the parking garage combined with the surface parking lot would provide 750 parking spaces or a deficiency of 21 parking spaces. However, it should be noted that the parking could be negatively impacted in the future if the applicant requests additional restaurant seating (more than 50 seats) or more leasable floor area for the retail uses. If these intensities are increased, thereby creating a parking deficiency, the applicant may request to pay a "fee in lieu" of parking in order to compensate for the difference. Regardless, all requests to pay a "fee in lieu" of would require approval from the Community Redevelopment Agency Board and City Commission (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2004, the "fee in lieu" of parking spaces cost $2,000 each. Payment of the fee is required prior to the issuance of the first building permit. In addition to the off-street parking, the project is proposing six (6) on-street parking spaces on the Boynton Beach Boulevard extension. However, these spaces cannot contribute towards the number of provided parking spaces. According to the applicant, however, they will be unrestricted and open for public use. Landscaping: The landscape plan (sheet L1) shows that 73 palm trees are proposed, of which, 54% would be native species. It also indicates that over 70% of the canopy trees would be native. Finally, the landscape plan also proposes 3,341 shrubs/ hedges/ accents, of which, 52% would be native species. The MU-H zoning district requires that at least 15% of the property be pervious area. The site plan tabular data (sheet A.O) shows that the total pervious area would equal 30,250 square feet (0.694 acres) or 17.5% of the site. According to the Existing Tree Exhibit (sheet EX-1), the subject site currently contains 53 existing trees with a total of 620 caliper inches. The species consist of the following trees: Mahogany, Green Buttonwood, Silver Buttonwood, Oak, and Coconut palm trees. The landscape plan (sheet L2) indicates that all the existing trees would be mitigated. The recently adopted regulations for the MU-H district provide specific landscape requirements that are addressed in the proposed landscape plan. The trees proposed within the Boynton Beach Boulevard extension streetscape include Live Oak and Sabal palm trees. The trees proposed along Federal Highway would consist of Alexander and Date palms with a few Live Oak trees. Palms would be used in the streetscape and in other areas of conflict with utility easements, such as along the east property line. A ductile iron pipe for potable water and sanitary sewer is proposed within the pedestrian courtyard and colonnade. It is city policy to prohibit the installation of full-canopy shade trees within these easements due to the potential impact of the trees' root systems upon the underground infrastructure. However in an effort to soften the "hardscape" and to provide shade while still protecting the underground infrastructure, the landscape plan and the "promenade cross-section" (sheets L2 and L3) graphically illustrates the location and scale of the Ligustrum trees to be installed within the interior pedestrian courtyards. Each tree would be installed within a pre-cast planter with Philodendron xanadu planted at the base of each tree. Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 6 A utility easement is also proposed along the east property line adjacent to the Mangrove Walk at the Marina site. Similarly, the only plant material proposed within this easement area would not have invasive root systems that can damage underground utilities. The plant material proposed within this buffer would consist of the following species: Cuban Royal, Cabbage, and Saw Thatch palm trees with various groundcover plants. Building and Site: Building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The site plan (sheet A.1) shows that several two (2)-story buildings are proposed along Federal Highway. These buildings are proposed close to the roadway in order to comply with the maximum setback requirements of the MU-H zoning district. The project density would be 80 dwelling units per acre. As a result, none of the hotel units may be converted to dwelling units in the future. To do so would cause the project to exceed the maximum allowable density of the zoning district. The south side setback would be 13 feet - six (6) inches and the north side setback is 14 feet- nine (9) inches. The rear setback would range from 16 feet - one (1) inch to 20 feet - two (2) inches. The applicant has informed staff of the desire to have awnings placed on the outside of the pedestrian arcade. A note on the cover page indicates that any element projecting over a pedestrian walkway would require a minimum nine (9) feet of vertical distance as well as a five (5) foot wide horizontal pedestrian clearance. Based on the parcel size, the project's maximum allowable lot coverage would be 75% or 129,863 square feet. The project proposes 121,250 square feet or 70% lot coverage. Many of the buildings would have varying heights but are interconnected at the base level (as shown on the floor plans and elevations). The maximum height allowed by the MU-H zoning district is 150 feet. All proposed buildings would comply with this maximum height requirement. The elevation drawings (sheet A.11) show that the roof level of the 14-story building would be 142 feet in height. However, there are portions of the roof that would exceed the maximum height allowed by the zoning district. The peaks of the pitched roof of the cupolas are proposed as high as 167 feet. These rooftop elements are eligible to be considered for height exceptions. The applicant has submitted a concurrent request for height exception (HTEX 04-002). The MU-H zoning district also has minimum height restrictions for buildings proposed along rights-of-way to be at least 35 feet in height. As proposed, the two (2)-story retail buildings are not 35 feet tall and therefore, do not meet the intent of the code. While it may not be the intent of the code to have a uniform 35 foot roof line, the purpose is to provide an urban edge to the street. Therefore, the buildings proposed along Federal Highway would have to be increased in height in order to comply with code. This revision can be accomplished at the time of permitting. However, it is important to mention that any increase in the project's overall floor area due to compliance with the height requirement may necessitate adjustments to be made to the parking methodologies and concurrency thresholds (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The proposed building composition would be as follows: Residential - 467,000 Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 7 square feet; Retail - 19,200 square feet; Hotel - 52,900 square feet; and Parking Garage - 240,000 square feet. The 1st Floor Plan shows that only retail uses (including the restaurant) and eight (8) of the "townhouse style" dwelling units are proposed on the ground floor. The townhouses are not fee-simple and therefore, they are technically classified as condominium units. The hotel suites and the remaining eight (8) townhouse units are proposed on the second and third floors. Two (2) of the hotel suites are proposed on the second floor, above the retail located near Federal Highway. As shown on the elevations (sheetA.U), these two (2) small towers proposed along Federal Highway are the applicant's attempts to comply with the 35-foot minimum building height required by the MU-H zoning district. However, as proposed, the towers would be 34 feet - four (4) inches in height and do not comply with minimum code requirements (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The fourth floor (sheet A.4) would be the parking garage's uppermost level. The fifth level shows the project's recreation deck proposed on top of the parking garage. Floors six (6) through 12 would primarily consist of the remaining condominium units. The typical floor plan (sheet A.9) shows that the one (l)-bedroom unit would be 805 square feet in area. The two (2)-bedroom unit would be 1,185 square feet in area while the three (3)-bedroom unit would be 1,580 square feet in area. Design: The ground floor has been designed as a series of interlocking spaces, unified by architectural elements, while promoting pedestrian friendliness through the use of arcades, public space, and landscaping. The project parking is virtually hidden from all views and is considered to be a subordinate, unobtrusive element of the plan. The public space would be easily accessible and open year round. Although not fully designed at this time, the southwest and northwest corners of the project are proposed to act as open plazas and gathering areas. These inviting open spaces would help to invite the pedestrian and channel this type of foot traffic to the internal public arena. Vehicular traffic is contained within the internal framework of the project. The public spaces would be adorned with appropriate landscape material (small shade trees and attractive groundcover) that would help to soften the urban "hardscape" while providing the arcades and overhangs, which offers protection from the harsh sun and / or inclement weather. The landscape plan (sheet L2) shows that the freestanding outdoor lighting fixtures would be decorative "Floridian" lampposts at least 12 feet in height. The detail indicates that the structures comes in either black, dark bronze, white, dark green or silver. Staff recommends that the color of the freestanding outdoor lighting fixtures be black to blend with the project and be consistent with the Marina project. The building's exterior surface would consist of with a textured stucco finish. As proposed, the buildings would have earth tone colors and would utilize the following Benjamin Moore paints: Hawthorne Yellow (HC-4), Powell Buff (HC-35), Gettysburg Gray (HC-107), Yorkshire Tan (HC-23), and Georgian Green (HC-U5). The trim work, bandings, and railings would be "Bone White" and the standing seam metal roof would be "Great Barrington Green". Staff Report - The Promenade (NWSP 04-009) Memorandum No PZ 04-144 Page 8 Signage: No project signage is proposed with this submittal. All proposed signage must be reviewed and approved by the CRA Board and the City Commission. Staff recommends utilizing a sign program for the entire project to ensure sustained continuity throughout the life of the project (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval). RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Review Committee (TRC) has reviewed this request for new site plan approval. Staff recommends approval, contingent upon the approval of the concurrent rezoning and height exception applications, and all comments indicated in Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval. 5: \Planning\SHARED\ WP\PROJ ECTS\Promenade\NWSP 04-009\Staff Report.doc ...

Staff recommends incorporating a Palm Tran bus stop into the design of the proiect along Federal Hil!hway. 158. One objective of the Mixed-Use High zoning district is to create optimal pedestrian environments through appropriate separation from, and design of vehicular circulation areas. Also, projects shall have the flexibility of architectural design and building bulk while maximizing compatibility with adjoining development within the development area (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.1.c. and d.). This project, however, exposes the flaws in the city zoning code. If done correctly, such as partially or wholly within the Federal Highway right-of-way, the "teaser"-parking concept in itself is not a detrimental component of the project's comprehensive design. However, the drive aisle that supports these parallel parking spaces contradicts the overall "urban" concept that the city is trying to proliferate in the downtown. The presence of a drive aisle within a front setback was not a component of the heralded Arches project and staff is fearful that this unattractive characteristic would be repeated in all subsequent proiects. It is staff's opinion that the #0 j 1 ST REVIEW COMMENTS. doc 06/15/04 21 DEPARTMENTS "teaser" parking would be more appropriately located as on-street parking within the Federal Highway right-of-way rather than proposed in its current configuration within the building front setback or on the applicants property immediately abutting the Federal Highway right-of-way. As previously stated in an earlier comment, the point of egress from this drive aisle to the Boynton Beach Extension does not properly align with the engineering design for the roadway. Therefore, the proposed plan is lacking in its coherency with concurrent roadway construction. Also, two (2) small building extensions are setback 0 feet from the front property line while the majority of the building is setback over 42 feet. This wide building setback creates a suburban environment and goes against the grain for urban development. This "suburban" type of development is neither the type of design that the city is seeking for our downtown nor is it conformance with the objectives of the Mixed Use zoning districts. As previously mentioned in an earlier comment, the project is deficient in terms of required versus provided parking. Adding another deck to the parking garage is a viable option. However, the developer of the Marina Village argued that an additional story to their parking garage diminished the values of their condominium and townhouses. Therefore, to remedy the deficiency in parking spaces while satisfying the front setback issue, the project would be best served by widening the current configuration of the garage to the west so that another "bay" of parking stalls could be added inside the garage and pushing the retail component westward closer to the front property line. Widening the garage would directly result in pushing the retail component closer to Federal Highway thereby increasing its visibility (signage) to passing vehicular traffic. See revised site plan. 159. The east half of the drop off circle appears to accommodate only one lane of vehicles. This should be enlarged to accommodate anticipated stacking and by-pass. Revised. See site plan. 160. The sidewalk along Federal Highway is required to be ten (10) feet in width and should contain trees and tree grates within the paver brick design to provide an urban streetscape. 161. The plaza comer at Boynton Beach Boulevard should contain more pavers and less grassed area. Again, trees with tree grates should be utilized. 162. At what point in the parking garage does public parking end and private begin? How is this controlled? Please depict this separation on the plans. 163. The two small (700) sq foot retail structures do not appear to meet the intent of the build-to-line for the entire structure. If the parking is going to be allowed between the sidewalk and building, the structures should be enlarged square foot wise made considerably more ornate, and more massive in appearance. Additionally, the covered entry at the lobby entrance should be expanded north & south, to physically connect each building tower. More detail also need to be applied to the connects from the main structure, out to the small retail spaces at the back of sidewalk. See revised site plan.

The site plan indicates a building set-back at Federal Highway that is not conforming to our Mixed Use High ordinance nor does the proposed set-back correspond to any projects underway in other areas of the CRA. Staff has significant concerns regarding the proposed site plan which features a private drive across the entire front of the project with parallel parking on both sides. This is contrary to all known design practices for redevelopment infill for an urban context. In fact, there is no evidence that this design practice is used anywhere nationally. The Boynton CBD only has 6 block frontages for projects and two are challenges that will probably not be reconfigured in the short to mid term. Projects for three other blocks conform to the "Build Line." Therefore, this project not only has a tremendous influence on Boynton's Downtown, but also does not match other design concepts both approved and under design at this time. See revised site plan. 168. The site plan has poor pedestrian linkage of the parking garage to stores, condominiums and the Inn. The front valet drop off area, which will serve all Inn guests, visitors for all 317 condos and could possibly additionally serve the retailers' customer valet service, will generate significant use and traffic. All customers not able to fmd a "teaser" parking space out front of the project will be added to the valet traffic moving south towards the garage and be required to make a "U-Turn" perpendicular to Boynton Beach Boulevard (across 3 lanes of traffic) into the project's parking garage. See revised site plan. 169. The site plan's front driveway creates another street for pedestrians to cross to get to the stores. The set back, additional driveway traffic and parking spaces are pedestrian and Federal Hwy activity disconnects. In urban settings the calming of traffic and building engagement at the curb generates significant retail exposure. The site plan is counter productive to basic urban retail principals. See revised site plan. 170. The project has added more retail in the form of stand alone stores at the Federal Hwy frontage which will take frontal parking spaces away from the "regional" and/or "national" credit tenants. This desi~ blocks store I 1ST REVIEW COMMENTS.doc 06/15/04 23 DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT exposure. This is counter productive to attracting "credit tenants." 171. Their claimed hardship supporting the driveway and double parallel parking spaces in order to attract retail, is not justifiable as many projects have credit tenants without front parking in this type of configuration. Parking on Federal should be required for the projects. This would take working with FDOT, however, parallel parking exists on Federal in many areas of Boynton and Delray. On street parking is in the Boynton CBD's best design interest and the rest to attract retail. See revised site plan. 172.

Also, projects shall have the flexibility of architectural design and building bulk while maximizing compatibility with adjoining development within the development area (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.1.c. and d.). This project, however, exposes the flaws in the city zoning code. If done correctly, such as partially or wholly within the Federal Highway right-of-way, the "teaser"-parking concept in itself is not a detrimental component of the project's comprehensive design. However, the drive aisle that supports these parallel parking spaces contradicts the overall "urban" concept that the city is trying to proliferate in the downtown. The presence of a drive aisle within a front setback was not a component of the heralded Arches project and staff is fearful that this unattractive characteristic would be repeated in all subsequent projects. It is staffs opinion that the "teaser" parking would be more appropriately located as on-street parking within the Federal Highway right-of-way rather than proposed in its current configuration within the building front setback or on the applicants property immediately abutting the Federal Highway right-of-way. As previously stated in an earlier comment, the point of egress from this drive aisle to the Boynton Beach Extension does not ro erl ali with the en 'neerin desi for the 1ST REVIEW COMMENTS 06/15/04 21 DEPARTMENTS roadway. Therefore, the proposed plan is lacking in its coherency with concurrent roadway construction. Also, two (2) small building extensions are setback 0 feet from the front property line while the majority of the building is setback over 42 feet. This wide building setback creates a suburban environment and goes against the grain for urban development. This "suburban" type of development is neither the type of design that the city is seeking for our downtown nor is it conformance with the objectives of the Mixed Use zoning districts. As previously mentioned in an earlier comment, the project is deficient in terms of required versus provided parking. Adding another deck to the parking garage is a viable option. However, the developer of the Marina Village argued that an additional story to their parking garage diminished the values of their condominium and townhouses. Therefore, to remedy the deficiency in parking spaces while satisfying the front setback issue, the project would be best served by widening the current configuration of the garage to the west so that another "bay" of parking stalls could be added inside the garage and pushing the retail component westward closer to the front property line.

The site plan indicates a building set-back at Federal Highway that is not conforming to our Mixed Use High ordinance nor does the proposed set-back correspond to any projects underway in other areas of the CRA. Staff has significant concerns regarding the proposed site plan which features a private drive across the entire front of the project with parallel parking on both sides. This is contrary to all known design practices for redevelopment infill for an urban context. In fact, there is no evidence that this design practice is used anywhere nationally. The Boynton CBD only has 6 block frontages for projects and two are challenges that will probably not be reconfigured in the short to mid term. Projects for three other blocks conform to the "Build Line." Therefore, this project not only has a tremendous influence on Boynton's Downtown, but also does not match other design concepts both approved and under desi~ at this time. 168. The site plan has poor pedestrian linkage of the parking garage to stores, condominiums and the Inn. The front valet drop off area, which will serve all Inn guests, visitors for all 317 condos and could possibly additionally serve the retailers' customer valet service, will generate significant use and traffic. All customers not able to find a "teaser" parking space out front of the project will be added to the valet traffic moving south towards the garage and be required to make a "U-Turn" perpendicular to Boynton Beach Boulevard (across 3 lanes of traffic) into the proiect's parking garage. 169. The site plan's front driveway creates another street for pedestrians to cross to get to the stores. The set back, additional driveway traffic and parking spaces are pedestrian and Federal Hwy activity disconnects. In urban settings the calming of traffic and building engagement at the curb generates significant retail exposure. The site plan is counter productive to basic urban retail principals. 170. The project has added more retail in the form of stand alone stores at the Federal Hwy frontage which will take frontal parking spaces away from the "regional" and/or "national" credit tenants. This design blocks store exposure. This is counter productive to attracting "credit tenants." 171. Their claimed hardship supporting the driveway and double parallel parking spaces in order to attract retail, is not justifiable as many projects have creditotenants without front parking in this type of configuration.

On street parking is in the Boynton CBD' s best design interest and the rest to attract retail. See revised site plan. 172. Public spaces, Art, etc. need to be defined better if eRA incentives are to be requested. See revised site plan.

Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to issuance of a buildinJ!: permit for the proiect. 109. Approval of this project IS contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request for a height exception for any portion of the structure that exceeds 150 feet in height (HTEX 04-002). Also, please provide an additional unstapled set of 12 elevations (of all building sides). These elevations will be used separately as part of the height exception application. 110. All proposed uses must be consistent with the MU-H zoning district identified in Table 6F-l in Chapter 2, Section 5.FA of the Land Development Regulations. The Mixed Use-Core land use classification allows up to 80 dwelling units per acre. However, the site plan is proposing 80.07 dwelling units per acre. Eliminate a condominium unit. Also, the hotel rooms cannot be converted into residential units in the future because their conversion would then exceed the threshold for the maximum number of dwellinl! units.

Parking requirements for both the MU-H and MU-L zoning districts shall be as set forth by Chapter 2, Section llH, of the Land Development Code. Chapter 2, Section 111, shall apply only to the MU-H zoning district. a. On-site parking facilities shall be located to the rear or side of the struCDne they are intended to serve and screened from view from public streets. notwithstanding other provisions of these regulations that require a specific residential auto- mobile garage setback. and subsections 9.d. and 9.e. below, permitting understory parking and regulating parking garages. (1) The intent of this provision is that parking facilities not be prominent. as viewed from the street(s) that serve(s) as the main orientation for the principal building(s), in order to emphasize buildings (Source: Urban Land Institute: Shared Parlcmg, 1983) 4~o ,oS 75\ :25 2002 S-18 iZ8x Pfl.,;.J -p/:f"f 7(p(g 0"?1 --... -I,S Zoning 34K and pedestrian features and de-emphasize parking facilities. (2) In order to best achieve this objective, rear parking is preferable to side yard parking. (3) Access to parking shall be from side streets not serving as the principal structure's main frontage, when possible, in order to minimize vehicle/pedestrian conflicts along sidewalks resulting from driveway crossings. b. Mixed-use developments may utilize the following par~g requirements based upon shared parking with different hoon of use. (1) The total requirement for off- street partin( spKCS sbaIl be the highest of the requirement of the various uses compured for the following five (5) separate time periods: weekdays (daytime. evening), weekends (daytime, evening) and nighttime.

Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the project. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request for a height exception for any portion of the structure that exceeds 150 feet in height (HTEX 04-002). Also, please provide an additional unstapled set of 12 elevations (of all building sides). These elevations will be used separately as part of the height exception application. All proposed uses must be consistent with the MU-H zoning district identified in Table 6F-l in Chapter 2, Section 5.FA of the Land Development Regulations, The Mixed Use-Core land use classification allows up to 80 dwelling units per acre. However, the site plan is proposing 80,07 dwelling units per acre. Eliminate a condominium unit. Also, the hotel rooms cannot be converted into residential units in the future because their conversion would then exceed the threshold for the maximum number of dwelling units. The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach County regarding school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building permit. Staff has received two (2) traffic equivalency determination statements. One is dated April 22, 2004 and the other is dated May 13, 2004, All proposed uses and their respective building areas must match between the traffic equivalency determination and the site plan (sheet AI). Staff would prefer to have the revised traffic study at the Technical Review Conunittee meeting. Which is the applicable one to send to Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their review and approval? A revised traffic study would be required prior to the Conununity Redevelopment Agency meeting (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.). On the site plan (sheet AI), the point of egress proposed on the Boynton Beach Extension from the western drive aisle does not align with any curbcuts proposed by the design drawings for said extension (prepared by Kimley-Horn and Burkhardt Construction on behalf of the Conununity Redevelopment Agency). Either modify the proposed plans or change the Burkhardt drawings, This discrepancy between the two (2) must be resolved prior to the scheduling of the project for any public meeting, A drainage statement is required prior to the Technical Review Conunittee meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.F,2.). On the site plan (sheet AI), indicate the location of the residential dumpster enclosures and their method of trash removal. Staff reconunends incorporating a detail or design into the drawings that illustrate how the rubbish would be removed. The method of trash removal will be subject to Public Works' review and approval. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), indicate the minimum floor area of the smallest residential unit to ensure compliance with Chapter 2, Section 6,F.5. In addition, the average area of all residential units must not be below 1000 square feet. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), the pervious and impervious area does not equal the total site area. Please rectify. Also, indicate the proposed percentage of pervious area to ensure compliance with the minimum amount required (15%) pursuant to the Table of Chapter 2, Section 6.F. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), indicate the following information: Land Use - Mixed-Use Core; Current Zoning - CBD; Proposed Zoning - Mixed Use-High. The on-street parking spaces proposed within the rights-of-way will require review and approval from the Engineering Division of Public Worlcs. The size of each parking stall must be consistent with the B-98001 and B-90013. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), remove the entry labeled "Total with City Reduction - 384 spaces". The project is not eligible for a 50% reduction in the required number of parking spaces is when the request is to rezone from Central Business District (CBD) to Mixed Use-High (MU-H). Based on the shared parking methodology used by staff, the project would require 766 parking spaces. The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) does not agree with staffs conclusion, Please show the project's shared parking assumptions to ensure compliance with Chapter 2, Section 5.F.9.(b).2 of the Land Development Regulations. Also, the site plan shows a proposed restaurant but its information is not reflected in the parking tabulations. Required parking is different for restaurants than it is for retail. Hotels require one and one-quarter (1~) parking spaces per bedroom (Chapter 2, Section I1.H.16.a.(3). The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) parking methodology is incorrect because it indicates that hotel suites require only one (1) parking space per room. Please re-calculate, On the site plan and floor plans, ensure that the number of parking spaces in each row and its respective label correspond with each other. On the site plan (sheet AI), in a dashed line, show the limits of all proposed cantilever awnings and make sure that their placement corresponds with the awnings shown on the elevations. Place a note on the site plan (sheet AI) that sidewalks shall be Hollandstone pavers, red / charcoal color mix by Paver Systems Inc. or equal, laid in a 45 herringbone pattern to continue the design elements in place along Federal Highway (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.8.d,(2). Place a note on the site plan (sheet AI) that "elements projecting over a pedestrian walkway shall allow a minimum nine (9) foot vertical distance and a five (5) foot horizontal pedestrian clearance. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), indicate the maximum allowable and proposed lot coverage. The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) indicates that Level 1 contains 140 parking spaces but when counted, the floor plan (sheet A.I) shows 168 spaces, Please revise so that both plans match. The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) indicates that Level 2 contains 149 parking spaces but when counted, the floor plan (sheet A2) shows only 145 spaces. Please revise so that both plans match. The cover sheet tabular data (sheet A.O) indicates that Level 4 contains 177 parking spaces but when counted, the floor plan (sheet A4) shows only 165 spaces. Please revise so that both plans match, Please provide a typical floor plan drawing of each residential unit type: 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, or 3 bedroom units (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.1.). On the floor plan (sheet A6), indicate "Levels 6 through 12" because this plan represents those six (6) levels. Required parking for hotels is based on the number of bedrooms for each unit. On the 2nd floor plan (sheet A2), indicate the number of bedrooms for each hotel unit. The removal I relocation of trees is subject to review and approval of the City Forester I Environmentalist. Coordinate with the City Forester I Environmentalist regarding the installation of brick pavers and palm trees within the U.S. I right-of-way. The shade trees (Live Oak and Sweet Mahogany) in the streets cape (Live Oaks proposed along the rights- of-way) shall have a minimum trunk of four (4) caliper inches and seven (7) feet of vertical clearance for visibility (Chapter 2, Section 6.F. 8,a,(2).). To add color and soften sidewalk paving with plants, flower containers containing blooming annuals or perennials are encouraged to be planted and maintained along facades or new buildings fronting on arterial roadways (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.8.e.). The placement landscape material outside the subject property's boundary lines (and within the rights-of- way) is subject to the Engineering Division of Public Work's review and approval. Also, the Florida Department of Transportation must approve any landscape material within the U.S. 1 right-of-way. This conunent applies to the Croton, Coconut palms, and annuals. The landscaping proposed along the Boynton Beach Extension as indicated on the landscape plan (sheet L1 of 2) does not agree with the landscaping outlined in the Boynton Beach Extension design plans prepared by Kimley-Horn and Burkhardt Construction on behalf of the Conununity Redevelopment Agency. Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.P). Please categorize the plant material and quantify as follows: Shade trees, Palm trees, Shrubs & Groundcover. Place a note on the landscape plan (sheet Ll) that tree guards fabricated to city specifications shall be placed adjacent to the curb where feasible (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.8.b.(4). Landscaping at project entrances shall contain a signature tree at both sides of the entrance (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.N.). A signature tree is a tree with blossoms or natural color other than green intended to beautify project entrances and contribute to the city's image with this element of aesthetic conformity, Signatures trees include Yellow Elder, Tibouchina Granulosa, and Bougainvillea. Note that signature trees do not contribute toward the total number of required perimeter trees. Signature trees must have 8 feet of clear trunk if placed within the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.). The trees are required to be at least 12 feet overall height at the time of installation (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2.). This conunent would apply to the Dwarf Green Coconut Palm, Gloss Privet Tree, and West Indies Mahogany). All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured inunediately after planting to adequately cover the planted areas on the site (Chapter 7,5, Article II, Section 5.CA.). This applies to the Redtip Cocoplum, Wax Jasmine, and Dwarf Schefflera. Place a note on the landscape plan indicating that mulch other than Cypress shall be used and maintained for landscape purposes (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.8.). Provide a typical drawing that includes the height and color I material of all proposed freestanding outdoor lighting poles. The design, style, and illumination level shall be compatible with the building design (height) and shall consider safety, function, and aesthetic value (Chapter 9, Section 10.F.1.). Show the location of these freestanding outdoor lighting poles on both the site plan and landscape plan. The east elevation (sheet A-9) does not show a restaurant, emergency generator, or maintenance rooms. Please clarify. On the east elevation (sheet A-9), the direction of the stairs that lead to the townhouses seem to be in conflict the direction of the stairs shown on the Levell floor plan (sheet A.l). Please clarify. Submit a color sample I swatch of all major exterior finishes. All elevation drawings shall include the paint manufacturer's name and color code. Staffreconunends using a color schedule (Chapter 4, Section 7.D). All project signage is subject to review and approval of the Conununity Redevelopment Agency (CRA). On the elevations, indicate the cumulative area of all wall signage to ensure that it complies with Chapter 21, Article 4, Section C.). In addition, indicate the sign type, letter colors, and sign material. Staff reconunends using a sign program for the entire project. Future signage such as in a sign program would still require review and approval of the CRA and City Commission. The landscape plan (sheet L1 of2) graphically shows a "Sign Fountain". Are any free standing monument signs proposed? If so, the maximum allowable signage area of the monument sign is 64 square feet on each side. On the elevations, clearly identify proposed sign area and show the site address at the top of the monument sign (Chapter 21, Article 4, Section 5.B.). The Site Section AA (sheet A.ll) does not have labels for the hotel rooms. Please rectify. Show the location of the air conditioning units. Are screened roof I solid-roof enclosures proposed now or anticipated in the future? Are any security gates proposed now or anticipated in the future? If so, provide a detail of the security gate, including the dimensions, materials used, exterior finish, and colors (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.). Staff reconunends incorporating a Palm Tran bus stop into the design of the project along Federal Highway. One objective of the Mixed-Use High zoning district is to create optimal pedestrian environments through appropriate separation from, and design of vehicular circulation areas. Also, projects shall have the flexibility of architectural design and building bulk while maximizing compatibility with adjoining development within the development area (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.1.c, and d.). This project, however, exposes the flaws in the city zoning code. If done correctly, such as partially or wholly within the Federal Highway right-of-way, the "teaser"-parking concept in itself is not a detrimental component of the project's comprehensive design. However, the drive aisle that supports these parallel parking spaces contradicts the overall "urban" concept that the city is trying to proliferate in the downtown. The presence of a drive aisle within a front setback was not a component of the heralded Arches project and staff is fearful that this unattractive characteristic would be repeated in all subsequent projects. It is staff's opinion that the "teaser" parking would be more appropriately located as on-street parking within the Federal Highway right-of-way rather than proposed in its current configuration within the building front setback. As previously stated in an earlier conunent, the point of egress from this drive aisle to the Boynton Beach Extension does not properly align with the engineering design for the roadway. Therefore, the proposed plan is lacking in its coherency with concurrent roadway construction. Also, two (2) small building extensions are setback zero feet from the front property line while the majority of the building is setback over 42 feet. This wide building setback creates a suburban environment and goes against the grain for urban development. This "suburban" type of development is neither the type of design that the city is seeking for our downtown nor is it conformance with the objectives of the Mixed Use zoning districts. As previously mentioned in an earlier conunent, the project is deficient in terms of required versus provided parking. Adding another deck to the parking garage is a viable option. However, the developer of the Marina Village argued that an additional story to their parking garage diminished the values of their condominium and townhouses. Therefore, to remedy the deficiency in parking spaces while satisfying the front setback issue, the project would be best served by widening the current configuration of the garage to the west so that another "bay" of parking stalls could be added inside the garage and pushing the retail component westward closer to the front property line. Widening the garage would directly result in pushing the retail component closer to Federal Highway thereby increasing its visibility (signage) to passing vehicular traffic.

A signature tree is a tree with blossoms or natural color other than green intended to beautify project entrances and contribute to the city's image with this element of aesthetic conformity. Signatures trees include Yellow Elder, Tibouchina Granulosa, and Bougainvillea. Note that signature trees do not contribute toward the total number of required perimeter trees. Signature trees must have 8 feet of clear trunk if placed within the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.). The trees are required to be at least 12 feet overall height at the time of installation (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2.). This comment would apply to the Dwarf Green Coconut Palm, Gloss Privet Tree, and West Indies Mahogany). All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured immediately after planting to adequately cover the planted areas on the site (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.CA.). This applies to the Redtip Cocoplum, Wax Jasmine, and Dwarf Schefflera.

Staff recommends using a color schedule (Chapter 4, Section 7.D). All project signage is subject to review and approval of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). On the elevations, indicate the cumulative area of all wall signage to ensure that it complies with Chapter 21, Article 4, Section C.). In addition, indicate the sign type, letter colors, and sign material. Staff recommends using a sign program for the entire project. Future signage such as in a sign program would still require review and approval of the CRA and City Commission. ~ THE PROMENADE 1st Review Planning March 17, 2003 NWSP 04-009 Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request to rezone from CBD to MU-H (REZN 04-002). Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the project. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request for a height exception for any portion of the structure that exceeds 150 feet in height (HTEX 04-002). Also, please provide an additional unstapled set of 12 elevations (of all building sides). These elevations will be used separately as part of the height exception application. All proposed uses must be consistent with the MU-H zoning district identified in Table 6F-l in Chapter 2, Section 5.FA of the Land Development Regulations. The Mixed Use-Core land use classification allows up to 80 dwelling units per acre. However, the site plan is proposing 80.07 dwelling units per acre. Eliminate a condominium unit. Also, the hotel rooms cannot be converted into residential units in the future because their conversion would then exceed the threshold for the maximum number of dwelling units. The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach County regarding school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building permit. Staff has received two (2) traffic equivalency determination statements. One is dated April 22, 2004 and the other is dated May 13, 2004. All proposed uses and their respective building areas must match between the traffic equivalency determination and the site plan (sheet AI). Staff would prefer to have the revised traffic study at the Technical Review Committee meeting. Which is the applicable one to send to Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their review and approval? A revised traffic study would be required prior to the Community Redevelopment Agency meeting (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.). On the site plan (sheet AI), the point of egress proposed on the Boynton Beach Extension from the western drive aisle does not align with any curbcuts proposed by the design drawings for said extension (prepared by Kimley-Horn and Burkhardt Construction on behalf of the Community Redevelopment Agency). Either modify the proposed plans or change the Burkhardt drawings. This discrepancy between the two (2) must be resolved prior to the scheduling of the project for any public meeting. A drainage statement is required prior to the Technical Review Committee meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2.). On the site plan (sheet AI), indicate the location of the residential dumpster enclosures and their method of trash removal. Staff recommends incorporating a detail or design into the drawings that illustrate how the rubbish would be removed. The method of trash removal will be subject to Public Works' review and approval. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), indicate the minimum floor area of the smallest residential unit to ensure compliance with Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5. In addition, the average area of all residential units must not be below 1000 square feet. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), the pervious and impervious area does not equal the total site area. Please rectify. Also, indicate the proposed percentage of pervious area to ensure compliance with the minimum amount required (15%) pursuant to the Table of Chapter 2, Section 6.F. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), indicate the following information: Land Use - Mixed-Use Core; Current Zoning - CBD; Proposed Zoning - Mixed Use-High. The on-street parking spaces proposed within the rights-of-way will require review and approval from the Engineering Division of Public Works. The size of each parking stall must be consistent with the B-98001 and B-90013. On the cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO), remove the entry labeled "Total with City Reduction - 384 spaces". The project is not eligible for a 50% reduction in the required number of parking spaces is when the request is to rezone from Central Business District (CBD) to Mixed Use-High (MU-H). Based on the shared parking methodology used by staff, the project would require 766 parking spaces. The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) does not agree with staff's conclusion. Please show the project's shared parking assumptions to ensure compliance with Chapter 2, Section 5.F.9.(b).2 of the Land Development Regulations. Also, the site plan shows a proposed restaurant but its information is not reflected in the parking tabulations. Required parking is different for restaurants than it is for retail. Hotels require one and one-quarter (I Y-t) parking spaces per bedroom (Chapter 2, Section Il.H.16.a.(3). The cover sheet tabular data (sheet AO) parking methodology is incorrect because it indicates that hotel suites require only one (I) parking space per room. Please re-calculate. On the site plan and floor plans, ensure that the number of parking spaces in each row and its respective label correspond with each other. On the site plan (sheet AI), in a dashed line, show the limits of all proposed cantilever awnings and make sure that their placement corresponds with the awnings shown on the elevations. Place a note on the site plan (sheet AI) that sidewalks shall be Hollandstone pavers, red / charcoal color mix by Paver Systems Inc. or equal, laid in a 45 herringbone pattern to continue the design elements in place along Federal Highway (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.8.d.(2).

Future signage such as in a sign program would still require review and approval of the CRA and City Commission. The landscape plan (sheet L1 of2) graphically shows a "Sign Fountain". Are any free standing monument signs proposed? If so, the maximum allowable signage area of the monument sign is 64 square feet on each side. On the elevations, clearly identify proposed sign area and show the site address at the top of the monument sign (Chapter 21, Article 4, Section 5.B.). The Site Section AA (sheet A.ll) does not have labels for the hotel rooms. Please rectify. Show the location of the air conditioning units. Are screened roof 1 solid-roof enclosures proposed now or anticipated in the future? Are any security gates proposed now or anticipated in the future? If so, provide a detail of the security gate, including the dimensions, materials used, exterior finish, and colors (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.). Staff recommends incorporating a Palm Tran bus stop into the design of the project along Federal Highway. One objective of the Mixed-Use High zoning district is to create optimal pedestrian environments through appropriate separation from, and design of vehicular circulation areas. Also, projects shall have the flexibility of architectural design and building bulk while maximizing compatibility with adjoining development within the development area (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.1.c. and d.). This project, however, exposes the flaws in the city zoning code. If done correctly, such as partially or wholly within the Federal Highway right-of-way, the "teaser"-parking concept in itself is not a detrimental component of the project's comprehensive design. However, the drive aisle that supports these parallel parking spaces contradicts the overall "urban" concept that the city is trying to proliferate in the downtown. The presence of a drive aisle within a front setback was not a component of the heralded Arches project and staff is fearful that this unattractive characteristic would be repeated in all subsequent projects. It is staff's opinion that the "teaser" parking would be more appropriately located as on-street parking within the Federal Highway right-of-way rather than proposed in its current configuration within the building front setback. As previously stated in an earlier comment, the point of egress from this drive aisle to the Boynton Beach Extension does not properly align with the engineering design for the roadway. Therefore, the proposed plan is lacking in its coherency with concurrent roadway construction. Also, two (2) small building extensions are setback 0 feet from the front property line while the majority of the building is setback over 42 feet. This wide building setback creates a suburban environment and goes against the grain for urban development. This "suburban" type of development is neither the type of design that the city is seeking for our downtown nor is it conformance with the objectives of the Mixed Use zoning districts. As previously mentioned in an earlier comment, the project is deficient in terms of required versus provided parking. Adding another deck to the parking garage is a viable option. However, the developer of the Marina Village argued that an additional story to their parking garage diminished the values of their condominium and townhouses. Therefore, to remedy the deficiency in parking spaces while satisfying the front setback issue, the project would be best served by widening the current configuration of the garage to the west so that another "bay" of parking stalls could be added inside the garage and pushing the retail component ~ westward closer to the front property line. Widening the garage would directly result in pushing the retail component closer to Federal Highway thereby increasing its visibility (signage) to passing vehicular traffic. S:IPlanningISHAREDlWPIPROJECTSlPromenadeINWSP 04-009IPlanning 1st review. doc ~ Date: May 13, 2004 From: Doug Hutchinson To: Ed Breese Re: The Promenade at Boynton Beach Project Review Project Review Notes . The Projects' site plan indicates a building set-back at Federal Highway that is not conforming to our Mixed Use High ordinance nor does the proposed set-back correspond to any projects underway in other areas of the CRA. Staff has significant concerns regarding the proposed site plan which features a private drive across the entire front of the project with parallel parking on both sides. This is contrary to all known design practices for redevelopment infill for an urban context. In fact, there is no evidence that this design practice is used anywhere nationally. The Boynton CBD only has 6 block frontages for projects and two are challenges that will probably not be reconfigured in the short to mid term. Projects for three other blocks conform to the "Build Line." Therefore, this project not only has a tremendous influence on Boynton's Downtown, but also does not match other design concepts both approved and under design at this time. . The site plan has poor pedestrian linkage of the parking garage to stores, condominiums and the Inn. The front valet drop off area, which will serve all Inn guests, visitors for all 317 condos and could possibly additionally serve the retailers' customer valet service, will generate significant use and traffic. All customers not able to find a "teaser" parking space out front of the project will be added to the valet traffic moving south towards the garage and be required to make a "U-Turn" perpendicular to Boynton Beach Boulevard (across 3 lanes of traffic) into the project's parking garage.

The site plan's front driveway creates another street for pedestrians to cross to get to the stores. The set back, additional driveway traffic and parking spaces are pedestrian and Federal Hwy activity disconnects. In urban settings the calming of traffic and building engagement at the curb generates significant retail exposure. The site plan is counter productive to basic urban retail principals. . The project has added more retail in the form of stand alone stores at the Federal Hwy frontage which will take frontal parking spaces away from the "regional" and/or "national" credit tenants. This design blocks store exposure. This is counter productive to attracting "credit tenants." . Their claimed hardship supporting the driveway and double parallel parking spaces in order to attract retail, is not justifiable as many projects have credit tenants without front parking in this type of configuration. Parking on Federal should be required for the projects. This would take working with FOOT, however, parallel parking exists on Federal in many areas of Boynton and Delray. On street parking is in the Boynton CBD's best design interest and the rest to attract retail. . Public spaces, Art, etc. need to be defined better if CRA incentives are to be requested.

Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LDR) referenced. PUBLIC WORKS - GENERAL 1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Article II, Section 10-26 (a). 2. Two small trash rooms are depicted which seems inadequate for 301 condos and penthouses, 38 hotel rooms, and 21,400 sf of retail space. Additionally the 16 townhouses are separate from the buildings and do not have direct access to a waste disposal area. 3. Indicate how solid waste will be handled. The locations of the two trash rooms do not provide direct access for solid waste pickup. PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC 4. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. 5. The required traffic analysis should address, at a minimum, an evaluation of turning movements into and out of the proposed development. Particular attention should be given to the southbound to eastbound movement from Federal Highway to Boynton Beach Boulevard. Additionally, evaluate full signalization at the intersection of Federal Highway and NE 4th Ave. 6. Show all off-site improvements, incorporating the new configuration for Boynton Beach Blvd. east of Federal Highway on the site plan. 7. NE 4th Ave. shall be improved from Federal Highway east to the east limits of the proposed development. At a minimum provide two - 12 ft. lanes with curb & gutter, sidewalk, signing, striping, etc. Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-xxx RE: The Promenade, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 04-009 May 24, 2004 Page 2 8. The one-way, southbound driveway at the southeast corner of the property shall be right- out only. 9. Explain how hotel traffic will be handled. Will the guests be expected to park themselves or will valet service be provided. Access to the parking garage is somewhat inconvenient in that respect. 10. On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping, directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc. 11. Fire lane signage and markings shall conform to LOR Chapter 23, Article II, Sections B. & M. The 3-foot high "Fire Lane" words shall be placed along both lanes and staggered. 12. Indicate how access will be provided to Mangrove Park and St. Mark's Catholic Church during road reconstruction and site development. NE 4th Ave. is the only access to Mangrove Park and the primary access to St. Mark's. 13. NE 4th Ave. is incorrectly noted throughout the plans, and on the survey, as NE 4th St., please correct. ENGINEERING 14. Add a general note to the Site Plan that all plans submitted for specific permits shall meet the City's Code requirements at time of application. These permits include; but are not limited to, the following: paving, drainage, curbing, site lighting, landscaping and irrigation. Permits required from other permitting agencies such as Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT), South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD), Palm Beach County Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any others, shall be included with the permit request. 15. this the Iiari self bmission of City of 16. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate sheets. 17. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments. Acceptance of these plans during the TRC process does not ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review. 18.. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets. Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-xxx RE: The Promenade, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 04-009 May 24, 2004 Page 3 19. Show all existing utilities on the Site and Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.A.3). 20. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) The lighting design shall provide a minimum average light level of one foot-candle. On the Lighting Plan, specify that the light poles shall withstand a 140 MPH wind load (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a and Florida Building Code). Provide a note that the fixtures shall be operated by photoelectrical control and are to remain on until 2:00 a.m. (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a.) Include pole wind loading, and pole details in conformance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 11, Chapter 23, Article I, Section 5.B.7 and Chapter 23, Article II, Section A on the Lighting Plan. Lighting shall not be used as a form of advertising in a manner that draws more attention to the building or grounds at night than in the day (LOR, Chapter 9, Section 10.F.5). If possible please provide photometries as part of your TRC plan submittals - it is much easier to identify and correct any deficiencies now than while you are waiting on a permit! 21. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b). 22. Show sight triangles on the Landscape Plans (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.). Reference FOOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles along Federal Highway and Boynton Beach Blvd. Use a 35 ft. sight triangle for driveways along NE 4th Ave. 23. Indicate, by note on the Landscape Plan, that within the sight triangles there shall be an unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between 2.5' and 8' above the pavement (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.). 24. Landscaping is proposed that falls outside the property limits. Revise plans to indicate only work within the appropriate boundaries. Work outside the project limits shall be performed under separate permits and approvals must be obtained from the City of Boynton Beach Public Works/Forestry & Grounds ~ivision. If permitted, different tree species may be required than those proposed on the plans. 25. The Seagrapes shown along the east property line are too close to the sidewalk. It is recommended that they be located no closer than five ft. to the sidewalk. Three feet may be acceptable with appropriate underground soil/aeration and root containments to prevent heaving of the sidewalk as the Seagrapes mature. 26. Canopy trees will not be allowed within utility easements. Please revise the Landscape plan to show utility easements and remove the proposed Live Oaks within the existing 10 ft. utility easement along the east property line. 27. The medians on Federal Highway, the chase areas on Boynton Beach Blvd. and Federal Highway, and Mangrove Walk at the Marina Park have existing hardscaping, irrigation and plant materials belonging to the City of Boynton Beach. Any damage to the irrigation systems and/or plant material as a result of the contractor's operations shall be repaired or replaced to the equivalent or better grade, as approved by the City of Boynton Beach, and Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-xxx RE: The Promenade, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 04-009 May 24, 2004 Page 4 shall be the sole responsibility of the developer. Please acknowledge this notice in your comments response and add a note to the plans with the above stated information. 28. Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2. 29. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting. 30. Specify storm sewer diameters, inlets types, etc. on drainage plan. Indicate grate, rim and invert elevations for all structures. Indicate grade of storm sewer segments. Indicate material specifications for storm sewer. 31. Paving, drainage and site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application. UTILITIES 32. Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for the timeline 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 timeline 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. 33. No utility plan was included with this submittal; therefore, this plan is incomplete as submitted. Sheet 1 of 1 by Caulfield & Wheeler, Inc. is inadequate to respond to two (2) fourteen-story residential towers. However, the proposed Site Plan is an' existing site located within the Utilities' service area, and is located where utility support is available (with upgrades). We are providing only a cursory review of the proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be required after a utility plan has been submitted. 34. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.0 requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent to the tract. The plan must therefore show the point of service for water and sewer, and the proposed off-site utilities construction needed in order to. service this project. 35. All utility easements 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.
