Rumpf, AICP Director, Planning and Zoning 100 East Boynton Beach Boulevard Boynton Beach, Florida 33425-0310 Re: Renaissance Commons, Boynton Town Center, and Boynton Village Dear Mr. Rumpf: You have asked our opinion as to whether Boynton Town Center and Boynton Village (hereafter "Boynton Projects") and Renaissance Commons meet the aggregation criteria set forth in Section 380.0651(4), Florida Statutes, and in Rule 9J-2.0275, Florida Administrative Code. Our analysis indicates that the developments do not meet any of the aggregation criteria except proximity. Renaissance Commons is north of the C-16 Canal, south of Gateway Boulevard, east of Congress Avenue, and west of the E-4 Canal and is within the Motorola Development of Regional Impact ("DR!"). Boynton Village is south of the C-16 Canal, north of Old Boynton Road, east of Congress Avenue, and west of the E-4 Canal. Renaissance Commons and Boynton Village are separated by the C-16 Canal. Boynton Town Center is located at the intersection of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road, and its northern and eastern boundaries are adjacent to Boynton Village. When as here, one of the developments (Renaissance Commons) is within a DR!, the aggregation criteria are used in evaluating whether the non-DR! development (Boynton Projects) should be added to the existing DR! (the Motorola DR!) through the substantial deviation process. Developments will be aggregated for DR! purposes if the developments are physically proximate to one another and are part of a unified plan of development. Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects are physically proximate as that term is defined in the Department of Community Affairs' aggregation rule (Rule 9J-2.0275, Florida Administrative Code). However, the developments are not part of a unified plan of development. TAL:47243:3 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A. CARACAS' FT. LAUDERDALE · MIAMI · NAPLES' ORLANDO' PORT ST. LUCIE . SARASOTA' ST. PETERSBURG' TALLAHASSEE' TAMPA' WEST PALM BEACH Michael W. Rumpf, AICP June 17,2004 Page 2 For there to be a unified plan of development, two of the following five criteria must be met: I. common ownership, control, or management; 2. a reasonable closeness in time between the completion of 80% or less of one development and the submission to a reviewing or permitting authority of plans or drawings for the other development indicating a common development effort; 3. the submission of a master plan showing the entire development area to a reviewing or permitting authority, as for example, in a plat or permit application; 4. the voluntary sharing of infrastructure; or 5. a common advertising scheme or promotional plan. Common ownership will not be found unless the same person or entity has an interest or an option to obtain an interest of more than twenty-five percent (25%) in each development or has a leasehold estate of more than 30 years. The voluntary sharing of infrastructure will not be found if the infrastructure at issue is required to be shared by the local government or a permitting agency. Public recreational facilities or parks and publicly financed stormwater management, water facilities, and sewer facilities are also not considered shared infrastructure for purposes of aggregation. Renaissance Commons is owned by Compson Associates of Boynton, LLC and Compson Associates of Boynton II, LLC. James Comparato is the manager of both entities and has the ability to control the development of Renaissance Commons. Boynton Village and Boynton Town Center are being developed on what is known as Winchester site. Boynton Village is being acquired by 1950 Congress Avenue, LLC. Boynton Town Center is being acquired by Boynton Beach Place, LLC. James Comparato has a twenty percent (20%) interest and Carl E. Klepper, Jr. has a five percent (5%) interest in each of those companies with the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) being owned by The Sembler Company. The Sembler Company will manage the Boynton Projects and so will control their development. The Sembler Company does not have any ownership or leasehold interest in Renaissance Commons nor does it have an option to acquire all or a portion of Renaissance Commons or manage or control Renaissance Commons. (As noted above, James Comparato manages the entities which own Renaissance Commons.) Except for James Comparato and Carl E. Klepper, Jr., none of the entities or individuals with an interest in Renaissance Commons has any ownership or leasehold interest in the Boynton Projects or an option to acquire all or a portion of the Boynton Projects. TAl:47243:3 , Michael W. Rumpf, AICP June 17,2004 Page 3 Because James Comparato does not manage the Boynton Projects and his interest in the Boynton Projects does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) and because none of the other entities which own one development has any interest in the other development, Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects are not commonly owned, managed, or controlled. Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects will be developed as totally separate and distinct developments. There is no master plan or common plan of development for the properties, and no master plan or drawing which includes the three developments has been submitted to the City or to a permitting agency. While the properties will be developed concurrently, the reasonable closeness in time criterion is not met as that criterion requires the submittal to a governmental agency of a master plan indicative of a common plan of development. As noted above, no such plan has been submitted. Different surface water management systems will serve Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects, and the drainage facilities of one development will not be shared by the other. Access to Renaissance Commons will be provided via entry points along Congress Avenue and Gateway Boulevard, both of which are public roads. Access to the Boynton Projects will be provided via Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road, which is also a public road. Water and wastewater service to the developments will be provided by the City. Electric service to the developments will be provided by Florida Power and Light. The only infrastructure which will be shared by Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects is a north-south road which will cross the C-16 Canal and connect Old Boynton Road and Gateway Boulevard. The City has mandated that a bridge across the C-16 Canal be provided so that the north-south road will afford an alternative to and relieve some traffic from Congress Avenue. Because the City has mandated that the bridge across the C-16 Canal be' constructed, the north-south road does not constitute the voluntary sharing of infrastructure. Finally, there will not be a common advertising scheme or promotional plan for Renaissance Commons and the Boynton Projects. In conclusion, the Boynton Projects and Renaissance Common do not meet any of the aggregation criteria which are indicative of a common plan of development, and the Boynton Projects do not have to be added to the Motorola DR! through the substantial deviation process.

The Applicant desires to change the land use on approximately 25-acres to a commercial land use category that facilitate a major retail anchor to draw upon the retail market that is already established within the Congress A venue corridor. The Applicant proposes to change the land use designation of the 25-acres located at the comer of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road from Moderate Density Residential (up to 7.26 du/ac) to the Local Retail Commercial land use designation. The proposed commercial uses will be designed with complimentary architectural style and features to abutting uses. Rezoning REZONING TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL (C-3) The Applicant is requesting rezoning of:t 25 acres of the subject property to the C-3 district. A site plan for Boynton Town Center I will be submitted for subsequent approval. Consistent with the criteria contained in Section 9.C.2. of the Zoning regulations, the Applicant offers the following for the City's consideration: a. Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive plan policies. The proposed rezoning to C-3 is consistent with the proposed land use WPB:175501 :8 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A. CARACAS - FT.lAUDERDALE - MIM11- NAPLES - PORT ST.lUClE - SARASOTA- ST. PETERSBURG. TALLAHASSEE - TAMPA -WEST PALM BEACH Page 2 designation of Local Retail Commercial (being concurrently processed). Rezoning to C- 3 will enable a major retailer to be established on the Property. b. Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare. Rezoning to C-3 will promote efficient use of the subject property. The subject property's size and location presents ideal characteristics for a major retail store that will be a viable operation in an established retail and service market area. The proposed commercial uses will complement the Congress Avenue corridor. Uses and buildings will complement one another, internally, as well as with adjacent properties' improvements. The proposed C-3 district is consistent with the zoning of other commercial properties along the Congress Avenue corridor. c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable. The subject property is currently underutilized as an agricultural operation. The RIM zoning allows single family residential up to 5.4 units per acre. Rezoning to commercial will allow flexibility in uses and building design (i.e., maximum building footprint) that cannot be accomplished under the SMU district. This flexibility will allow major commercial users to occupy the visible comer tract and attract passerby traffic, in addition to its own consumers. d. Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities. The proposed rezoning and resulting development project will not negatively impact public facilities and services. The proposed development will meet the adopted level of service standards established pursuant to the City's concurrency management system. A traffic study is being submitted as part of the request to document the proposed mixed use project's impact on the surrounding roadway network. e. Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of adjacent and nearby properties. The proposed rezoning to C-3 is compatible with adjacent uses: SMU to the north (proposed for the balance of the subject property, and for Renaissance Commons); C-3 south and west; and RIM to the east. The subject property fronts roadways on its south and west sides. The buildings, uses and architectural elements that will be utilized along the site's perimeters will be harmonious with and complement existing buildings and uses on neighboring properties. Landscape buffers will enhance overall aesthetics of the project and promote compatibility between the subject property and other properties.

For structured parking, the range is $8,000 to $10,000 per parking space This does not include any land acquisition costs or costs related to special conditions due to site issues and implies basic architectural treatment. The general layout of the structure may also affect the cost, Le. the more efficient the structure is regarding ramps and decks the lower cost it is to construct. The upper range of the estimate may include design costs associated with the structure. Also, these estimates are based upon historic information. The cost of steel and concrete continue to rise rapidly and show no signs of leveling off which will impact the future cost of structures including garages. For example, the City of Delray is planning a parking structure today and is adding 2% per month to the final cost until they bid the project to cover these material cost increases. . For surface parking, the range is $2,500 to 3,000 per parking space This figure is dependent on grading costs and other site issues. If the City is considering revising the payment in lieu of fee, I strongly urge that the fee is for structured parking and that the City consider a clause that the actual cost per space shall be negotiated at the time of the payment in lieu of, based upon prevailing costs for materials, etc. I hope this helps. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Currently zoned as RIAA, the property sits underutilized. Rezoning to C-3 will enable an economically viable, timely development project to be developed on the site. The proposed commercial uses will compliment the adjacent residential use with personal and retail services and employment opportunities. g. Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city as a whole. The location of the Klatt family property on the Congress Avenue corridor at the comer of Old Boynton Road lends itself to a major retailer. The tract will enable an established retail operation to relocate into expanded space, offering more services and goods - and employing more of the area residents. The proposed use is consistent with other commercials uses along the corridor. h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in districts where such use is already allowed The subject property is the largest uncommitted tract along the Congress Avenue. This commercial corridor offers residents a variety of national and local retail and service businesses to meet their needs, all within a single portion (corridor) of the City. The Boynton Beach Mall was most likely the impetus of this retail and service corridor that now serves the City and surrounding communities. The proposed Local Retail Commercial land use and C-3 zoning will compliment existing uses and provide needed area for major retailer growth. BOYNTON TOWN CENTER The Applicant offers documentation to demonstrate new demand generated by development under the proposed zoning (C-3). The Applicant feels that any impacts can be mitigated to ensure compliance with concurrency requirements. Boynton Town Center, located on approximately 25 acres, is proposed for 250,000 s.f. of retail commercial uses. 1 This compares to the 181 residential units that could be developed pursuant to the maximum density allowed by the existing Moderate Density Residential land use category. 1 Based on performance standards within the C-3 district, 40% lot coverage might be obtained, which would result in 435,600 s.f. of commercial uses. Constraints presented by required parking and needed pervious and landscaped areas, however, restrict the maximum coverage from being obtained. This maximum development level would also necessitate DRI review (commercial threshold is 400,000 s.f.), and the proposed intensity is one that could be proposed at the local level without requiring state and regional review through the DR! process.

WEST PALM BEACH 1/>;1' t, \ ~'~ ';,0 Page 4 Specific non-residential uses and businesses that occupy Boynton Town Center will be consistent with the chart of permitted uses and supplemental requirements in the C-3 district regulations. The Boynton Town Center project will be improved in a single phase, prior to the buildout date of 2008 assumed in the traffic analysis. The project will be subject to subsequent technical site plan approval. Based on the above described uses, Boynton Town Center would provide jobs for 5002 employees. Housing opportunities will be available within the adjacent mixed-use neighborhoods for some of these employees. Development of the proposed uses will be phased to roadway improvement projects so that the project does not generate significant traffic impacts. Other public facilities and services will not be negatively impacted by the change in uses. Water and sewer demand, based on the rates identified in the attached table, have been evaluated and the resulting demand can be served by the existing capacity at the City's water and sewer treatment plants. An analysis of the immediate infrastructure (lines, pumps and lift stations) is being conducted and will determine whether the water/sewer distribution system needs to be upgraded to serve the proposed project. Population projections under the existing and proposed uses are compared below. These estimates are based on the 2000 Census figure of 2.27 persons per unit as a citywide, average household size.

Specifically, the land use amendment is consistent with and furthers the following City objectives: Urban Sprawl: Objective 1.13, Policy 1.13.4 The proposed land use discourages urban sprawl by creating a compact urban area. The commercial project will serve as a form on infill along the developed Congress Avenue corridor. The 25 acre commercial tract will provide sufficient land area for a major retailer to expand its operation within its existing trade area versus developing property further west along the County's urban fringe. Regulation of Land Development Orders: Objective 1.16, Policy 1.16.1 The proposed zoning district, Community Commercial (C-3), is consistent with the requested land use - Local Retail Commercial. The proposed Boynton Town Center development project is consistent with the use, density and intensity provisions of the land use and zoning designations.

PETERSBURG - TALLAHASSEE -TAMPA -WEST PALM BEACH Page 7 NEED FOR LAND USE(S) Palm Beach County is known as the West Palm Beach/Boca Raton Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Growth in this region originated in the south and moved northward. Palm Beach County's growth rate has increased steadily during the past fifteen (15) years. In 1980, the County has a population of approximately 587,000. By 1990, the County had reached a population of approximately 870,000, which represented an increase of nearly 48%. The County's growth rate between 1990 and 200 is less than it was between 1980 and 1990 due to recessionary economic conditions in the early 90's. However, population growth has increased significantly since 1990, and the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) project an increased rate of growth through 2010. Population is projected to increase from 1,008,300 in 2000 to 1,300,600 in 2010. Employment growth (the number of persons employed) reflects the recessionary conditions which prevailed in the 1990's. Between 1995 and 1999, the number of persons employed grew by 58,8709, indicative of a rebounding economy in the County. Total employment in Palm Beach County is expected to continue to rise. The services sector shows the strongest potential for growth, with retail and wholesale trade close behind. The City's median family income ($47,54610) is greater than that of the County as a whole ($37,04511), and can likely support greater amounts of commercial retail space per capita than is the case countywide. Based on projected population growth, there is a need for additional commercial businesses to meet the growing needs of the City's population. The subject property's location presents an ideal site for a commercial project that will provide convenient, easily accessible services, retail operations and employment opportunities. 9 Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security 10 2000 Census 11 2002 Demographic Profile of the Treasure Coast Region, TCRPC WPB:17SS01 :8 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A.

In light of the fact that each of these projects contain commercial use components, please inform your clients that the City will expect them to demonstrate consistency with the following policy contained in the Future Land Use Element of the City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan: "Policy 1.3.8 The City shall continue to adopt and enforce regulations to require that commercial projects provide marginal access roads or cross access between sites, wherever practical, in order to minimize the need for trips on adjacent thoroughfares." In addition to connectivity between the two projects you represent, there is also an opportunity for these projects to proVide cross access with the Renaissance Commons project, currently being developed to the north. Staff would strongly recommend that your applicants work with the developer of Renaissance Commons to secure agreements for cross access. The development of a roadway connecting Old Boynton Road with Gateway Boulevard could have a positive effect of lessening traffic Impacts on Congress Avenue. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please do not hesitate to contact me at (561) 742-6264. ~~d- Dick Hudson, AICP Senior Planner
