FW: Follow-up on Agenda Items for Tonight-Renaissance Commons Greenways
Importance:
High
Kurt, Wilfred and Wally,
We have been working with Planning on this one. As of our last conversation with them today:
-The plans show a number of private bike paths / green space areas in the project (including 40' along the E-4 Canal and
25' along the C-16 canal).
-The development is open to the public (there are no gates) This allows the developer to take advantage of reduced traffic
count requirements in his transportation report. The developer/association will be responsible for maintenance of all
landscaped common areas within the project.
-If future owners wish to close the bikeways etc. to the public they would have to apply to the city for a major site plan
modification. The City Commission would have to agree with the request.
-The Greenway/Bikeway Plan includes the routes through the project. The plan is scheduled for conceptual approval next
commission meeting. The Commission will have the opportunity to reject any site plan modification (including the closing of
the property to the public) by using the Greenway/Bikeway Plan as its basis for disapproval.
-Planning suggests that a way to further emphasize the importance of Greenways /Bikeways in this project might be to set
a condition of approval. The condition would require the developer and future homeowners to set up homeowner
documents requiring their association to continue all greenway and bikeway access to the public and homeowner
association maintenance in perpetuity. They should specifically mention the routes along the C-16 and E-4 Canals so that
there is no confusion as to the priority of the of these routes.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Subject: Follow-up on Agenda Items for Tonight
Importance: High
Several items related to tonight's meeting, which need attention today.
1
'.
Consent Agenda --
D1 - Non-Residential uses in single-family zoning district -- as discussed last week at pre-agenda, Legal needs to review if
it is appropriate to include a differential in the ordinance that would allow religious institutions as a permitted use if fronting
on an arterial vs. requiring a conditional use for religious institutions fronting on lesser streets. I believe P&D
recommended requiring conditional uses for all religious institutions placed in residential districts vs. the staff
recommendation to allow some religious institutions as permitted uses (if on arterial) and as conditional use on lesser
streets. The legal question is whether this bifurcation is acceptable, especially in light of Religious Freedom Act and the
fact that religious institutions may be allowed as permitted uses in other non-residential districts. Development will need to
provide Sam G. with the zoning districts where religious institutions are permitted.
Finally, as discussed at pre-agenda the ordinance in the packet (04-061) does not contain complete language from the
LDR so the Commission can see all the changes. We may wish to prepare this in the form of a supplemental report
between first and second reading. The key issue is to address the first paragraph above.
Public Hearings
Items D&E - Renaissance Commons
Condition #40/35 - Parks -- No mention of any private recreation facilities in the staff report. How does the greenway along
the canal work? (Wally/Wilfred)
No mention in reports on Police and Fire Facilities -- I advised the Commissioner staff used an old template. He still is
looking for information from Police and Fire to be verbally included in the record. (Marshall, Bill)
Impact on Building Height Lawsuit -- as per discussion at pre-agenda, the same disclosure as used at the last meeting
needs to be raised by Legal and an acknowledgement provided by developer. (Rosemarie/Sam G.)

DATE:
August 2, 2004
PROJECT:
Renaissance Commons Phase V (COUS 04-005)
Addendum to Memorandum No. PZ 04-184 - Staff Report
Analysis of impact on facilities
The subject request is for conditional use and new site plan approval for 447 condominium units
and related site improvements on an 8.538-acre portion of Renaissance Commons (f.k.a.
Motorola DR!). This project is located at the southeast comer of Gateway Boulevard and
Congress A venue, and is being proposed within the Suburban Mixed Use Zoning District. The
initial staff reports were prepared and forwarded to the Board prior to the format being changed to
include detailed analyses from Police, Fire and Utilities regarding facility impacts. This
addendum has been prepared to provide this additional information on the subject project using
comparable analyses or current data.
With respect to impacts upon Police and Fire/EMS services, staff cites the responses provided for
the proposed Boynton Village rezoning, which is located immediately to the south, and would
consist of a mixed-use project with 1,120 townhouse units. When considering this additional
information, it should be noted that the project being reviewed included nearly three times the
number of dwelling units as proposed in the subject project, and included a commercial
component which is not being proposed within this Phase V project. The impacts upon Police and
Fire/EMS services were summarized as follows:
"The Police Department has utilized statistics from Cross Creek Plaza, a strip mall located at
1313 w: Boynton Beach Boulevard to project the impacts of the small commercial uses proposed
in the project. Over a three-year period, the number of businesses in the plaza ranged between
10 and 15 operating at anyone time. The statistical data indicated that businesses of a similar
nature would generate approximately 81 calls for service. Likewise, statistical data from
townhouses in the Sandalwood Community over a three-year period were used to project the
impacts of the 1,120 proposed dwelling units, which is estimated at 988 calls per year. These
demands coupled with those of the adjacent Boynton Town Center development indicate that an
additional Uniformed Services patrol zone may have to be initiated and manned to provide police
services to the residents and businesses on the site. This will require 5.2 additional police
officers to man the new zone.
It should be clarified that the need for a new zone is generated from the combined projected
demands of the projects proposed as part of Renaissance Commons and Boynton VillagefTown
Center (a.k.a Winchester site). Further, subsequent to completion of the original analyses, the
Renaissance Commons Phase . \ COUS 04-005)
Page 2
Memorandum No. PZ 04-195
total officers for the new zone was re-calculated to total 5.2 (4 officers were originally
documented).
Fire-Rescue indicates that increases in population density and commercial development also
increase traffic congestion. Traffic light pre-emption for emergency vehicles is essential to
maintaining desired response time. It is imperative that Fire Station #4 is completed and in
service prior to completion and occupancy of these new projects, and that Fire Station #5 be
expedited to insure adequate service delivery levels and effective response times in the northeast
section of the City and as a backup in the northwest section of the City. Approval of new
development projects involving multi-family or high-intensity commercial projects should be
contingent upon consideration of future upgrades in emergency dispatch capability. "
With respect to utility impacts, staff reports as follows:
The developer is planning 398 residential units in Phase IV and 447 units in Phase V. At the
current ECU definition of 430 gallons per day per residential unit for potable water, Phase IV
will require a reservation of approximately 171,140 gallons per day, and Phase V will require a
reservation of approximately 192,210 gallons per day. The ability to provide water and
wastewater service to these developments at the time of connection should not be an issue.

Written response to standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses
1. Ingress and egress to the project has been carefully planned to provide exemplary
pedestrian access throughout the site in a safe and convenient manner. Applicant
has worked with the fire department to develop the fire department design guides
in case of fire or catastrophe.
2. The majority of the parking for the project is contained within structured parking
garages that are surrounded by the residential units thus shielding the neighboring
properties from the glare, noise and odors of on site parking and loading zones.
3. Refuse and service areas have been located to be shielded from the public view.
4. Utilities are being placed underground for aesthetic purposes.
5. The screening, buffering, and landscaping are far in excess of the minimum
required and was designed to augment the architecture of the building with color,
height, and variation of plant and tree materials.
6. Signs and all exterior lighting have been designed to direct their lighting pattern
in a manner to achieve maximum coverage while being compatible and
harmonious with adjacent properties.
7. Setbacks, open space, and zoning compatibility have been designed under the
conditions set forth in the SMU ordinance.
8. The height of the structure of 75' is located toward the center of the project to
create a "wedding cake" approach to height. This allows lower structures on the
perimeter of the SMU zoning to shield their higher structures and conforms to the
conditions and intent of the SMU zoning.
9. Economically the project will have a positive effect on the tax receipts of the City,
and provide substantially more in tax revenue than expense to the City. With the
average cost of homes in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00) the benefit to the City is economically advantageous.
10. The project conforms to all standards and requirements of site plan, and
abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with the performance standards
of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.

The Palm Beach County TraffIC Division has reviewed the traffic statement for the
previously approved DRI entitled; Motorola ORI- Renal$sance Commons.... NOpe il2,

Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the revised DRI is
projected to generate less peak hour trips than what was previously approved, and
therefore meets the TraffIC Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Based on
the peaK hour forecastS provided by the consultant, it is however suggested that the
following project access driveways turn-lanes (as required in NOPC #1) to be provided:
("Allnt)' Adm;..uttatoI
· Southbound left-turn lanes along Congress Avenue, onto the northern and

Furthermore. due to the substantial changes in land use types, in comparison to what
was approved in NOpe #1, there may be a shift of project generated traffic to other
driveway locations, hence, requiring additional exclusive turn lanes at these locations.
These new requirements may be idenUfied upon completion of the project site plan, and
subsequent forecast of peak hour trips.
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.

1st Review Planning
June 1, 2004
Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to issuance of a building
permit for the project.
No Board or Commission action can occur on this application until final Commission action on
DRIA 03-001 and CPTA 03-001 and LUAR 03-009.
Depict the required setbacks in conformance with Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) zoning category.
In the SMU zoning district, the required setback from the west property boundary is three times
(3x) the building height. On the master plan (sheet SP-1.0), indicate the proposed setback from
the west property line to ensure compliance with this requirement.
A building height over 55 feet and up to 75 feet is allowed in the Suburban Mixed Use zoning
district but only as a conditional use. This project will require conditional use approval from the
Planning & Development Board and City Commission. Provide written responses to the
standards for evaluating conditional uses.
Will an on-site lift-station be required as a result of this development? If so, show its location on
the master site plan (sheet SP-l).
Show the dumpster enclosure / trash rooms on the first floor plan (sheet A-2.0). In addition, label
the 60-foot long truck backup area. The method of trash removal will be subject to Public
Works' review and approval.
The dimensions of the roadway (pavement), drive aisles, back-up areas, and rights-of-way is
subject to the Engineering Division of Public Works' review and approval. Show the dimensions
on the first floor plan (sheet A-2.0).
Provide a detail of a typical standard and handicap parking stall.
Submit a traffic impact analysis by the Technical Review Committee meeting. It must be
approved by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency purposes prior to the
issuance of any building permits (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.).
The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach County regarding
school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building permit.
On the master plan's tabular data regarding "Monteverde", based upon the proposed uses and
their intensities, include the following parking scenario:
84 One-bedroom units
282 Two-bedroom units
81 Three-bedroom units

Provide updated Total Parcel statistical data for everything approved up to and including Phase
V. The Phase V statistical data would include the information derived from Phase I, Phase II,
Phase III, Phase IV, as well as the remaining undeveloped portions (which would be Phase VI).
The information would include but not be limited to acreage breakdown, surface cover, parking,
number of units, etc.
On the floor plans (sheets A-I.l through A-I.5), indicate the number of bedrooms for each unit
and have them accurately and directly correspond with the table that shows unit type and the
number of bedrooms on sheet A-2.0.
Place a note on the floor plan (sheet A-2.1) that indicates the following: "Floors 2 through 5".
The unit tabulation on sheet A-2.0 indicates 84 Unit "A" but when counted (on the graphic
illustration), it adds up to 89 Unit "A". This discrepancy between the table and the graphic must
be corrected.
The unit tabulation on sheet A-2.0 indicates 101 Unit "B" but when counted (on the graphic
illustration), it adds up to 113 Unit "B". This discrepancy between the table and the graphic must
be corrected.
The unit tabulation on sheet A-2.0 indicates 160 Unit "C" but when counted (on the graphic
illustration), it adds up to only 143 Unit "C". This discrepancy between the table and the graphic
must be corrected.
The unit tabulation on sheet A-2.0 indicates 21 Unit "D" but when counted (on the graphic
illustration), it adds up to 33 Unit "D". This discrepancy between the table and the graphic must
be corrected.
The unit tabulation on sheet A-2.0 indicates 81 Unit "E" but when counted (on the graphic
illustration), it adds up to only 69 Unit "E". This discrepancy between the table and the graphic
must be corrected.
There is a difference between a phase line and a property line. Since this project (Phase V) is
merely just a component of the Renaissance Commons project, on this project's floor plan (sheet
A-2.0), indicate the phase line by utilizing an arrow with corresponding note.
There should be two (2) different types of phase lines on the first floor plan (sheet A-2.0). The
first should show the boundary of Phase V while the other should show the separation of
Monteverde Phase I and Monteverde Phase II.
The floor plan of Unit "C" (sheet A-I.3) shows the "living area" is 1,188 square feet while the
table on the first floor plan (sheet A-2.0) shows the living area as 1,186 square feet. This slight
..
difference in square footage impacts the square footage table on the Typical Floor Plan (sheet A-
2.1). The discrepancy in living area between sheets A-l.3 and A-2.0 must be corrected.
The floor plan of Unit "E" (sheet A-1.5) shows the living area is 1,471 square feet while the table
on the first floor plan (sheet A-2.0) shows the living areas as 1,472 square feet. This slight
difference in square footage impacts the square footage table on the Typical Floor Plan (sheet A-
2.1). The discrepancy in living area between sheets A-l.5 and A-2.0 must be corrected.
Is a security gate anticipated in the future? If so, show its location on the first floor plan (sheet A-
2.) and provide a detail indicating its dimensions, materials used, exterior finish, and colors
(Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
The elevation pages for "Monteverde" (sheets A-3.0 and A-3.1), should indicate the proposed
finish and color of the railings, ground level stone-work, and awnings (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Eliminate the entry "SW #6473" on the elevation Keynotes (sheet A3.0 and A3.1) because it does
not correspond with the color swatch (SW #6973).
The detail of the subdivision development sign (sheet SP-1.1) shows that the proposed structure is
nine (9) feet tall and 98 square feet in area. Modify to comply with Chapter 21, Article IV,
Section I.D. of the Land Development Regulations.
Include a color rendering of all elevations at the Technical Review Committee meeting (Chapter
4, Section 7.D.).
On the east and west elevations (sheet A-3.0 and A-3.1), indicate the vertical clearance between
ground level and the 3rd floor pedestrian overpass. Indicate the same on the north and south
elevation where the vehicular entrance / exit is proposed.
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 eight (8) feet of clear trunk if placed within
the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section S.N.).
Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species (Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.P). Please categorize as follows: Shade trees, Palm trees, Shrubs & Groundcover. On
the landscape plan (sheet L3 of 3), indicate the total quantities for all proposed native plant
material.
On the landscape plan (sheet L3 of 3), indicate the total number of proposed shade trees, palm
trees, and shrubs / groundcover.

limited to, the following: paving, drainage, curbing, site lighting, landscaping and irrigation.
Permits required from other permitting agencies such as Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT), 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.
11. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all
appropriate sheets.
12. 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.
13. Provide a Site Plan (not just the Master Plan) in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 4.
14. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section
7.B.4.)
15. Adjust landscaping as necessary to prevent conflicts between canopy trees and light

or six feet if using appropriate underground aeration and root control barrier.
19. 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.
200 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
21. 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
Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-092
RE: Renaissance Commons Phase V, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 04-011

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 w!1I 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.
22. 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. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement
so that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the
foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1, gives public utilities the
authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements
or public rights-of-way.
23. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility
easements, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements shall be dedicated via
separate instrument to the City as stated in CODE Sec. 26-33(a).

systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
25. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500
g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. some residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as
stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by
insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)).
26. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be .paid for this
project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health Department
application forms or within 7 days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee
will be determined based upon final meter size, or expected demand.
27. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on
condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities Department
before the first permanent meter is set. Note that setting of a permanent water meter is a
prerequisite to obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy.
28. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has approved the
plans for the water and/or sewer improvements required to service this project, in
accordance with the CODE, Section 26-15.
29. Indicate proposed meter size(s) for the four buildings.
30. Provide off-site sanitary sewer improvements to handle flows generated by this project.
31. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to each
building, and the fire sprinkler line if there are any, in accordance with CODE Sec. 26-207.
32. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building be
within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan
