Staff Report - United Way (MSPM 05-010) Memorandum No PZ 05-235 Page 2 PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION All property owners within 400 feet of the subject property were mailed a notice of this request for a major site plan modification and its respective hearing dates per the Applicant who has certified that the required signage was posted and notices mailed in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007. Site Location: The subject property, at 2600 Quantum Boulevard, is generally located north of Gateway Boulevard and east of Congress Avenue within the Quantum Park DRL According to the survey, the site consists of Lots 4 and 5 of Quantum Park at Boynton Beach P.LD. Plat No.2, now combined into one (1) lot. The lot is 6.22 acres, zoned PlO, and specifically designated for office uses. A two-story office building for United Way and related parking areas are constructed on site. BACKGROUND Proposal: Mr. Alan Strassler, Agent and Architect for the owners, is requesting a major site plan modification to construct a one-story 5,000 square foot office building on site. In 1989, a new site plan for The United Way was approved for the subject property. The previously approved site plan was for three (3) proposed two-story office buildings, each 16,442 square feet, for a total of 49,272 square feet of building area and 187 parking spaces on site. Building #1, to be located at the northwest corner of the lot, has not been constructed. Building #2, located on the lake and designated as Phase 1, was constructed in 1995 with 16,393 square feet, and with all of the required parking on site. Building #3, to be located on the northeast corner of the lot, has not been constructed. The major site plan modification proposes to revise the location for building #3, reduce the building size from 16,442 square feet to 5,000 square feet, and reconfigure a portion of the existing parking lot. ANALYSIS Concurrency: Traffic: A traffic statement which indicates a daily trip generation of 46 trips for the proposed office building was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for review and approval. Based on their review, the Traffic Division has determined the proposed project, with a build out date of 2007, is part of the previously approved Quantum DRI, and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards. The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Utilities: The City's concurrency ordinance requires drainage certification at time of site plan approval. Drainage information was provided for the City's review and reviewed by the Engineering Division. Further water information regarding fire flow calculations will be required at time of permitting (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Fire I Police: These departments have reviewed the site plan and determined that emergency services are available to the proposed project with an appropriate response time. Emergency service providers expect to be able to utilize their current or anticipated resources to maintain an adequate level of service for the proposed project. Staff Report - United Way (MSPM 05-010) Memorandum No PZ 05-235 Page 3 School: School concurrency is not required for this type of project. Driveways: This proposal to construct a second office building on site does not modify the site's existing driveway ingress/egress, and involves only some reconfiguration of the existing parking lot. Parking: The United Way site plan approved in 1989 vests the following: three (3) proposed two-story office buildings, each 16,442 square feet, for a total of 49,326 square feet of building area. Based on the previous approval for 49,326 square feet on site, and with 1 (one) parking space required per 300 square feet of gross floor area for office uses, a total of 165 parking spaces were required. All of the required parking spaces were provided with Phase I, the existing office building. This request involves a reduction in the building size of the proposed second office building from 16,442 square feet to 5,000 square feet, and a reconfiguration of the affected portion of the existing parking lot. Based on the reduction in building square footage from a total of 49,326 square feet (16,442 x 3) to 37,884 square feet (16,442 - 5,000 = 11,442, and 49,326 - 11,442 = 37,884), a total of 127 spaces (37,884/300 = 126.28 or 127) are required. The revised site plan proposes a total of 203 parking spaces, providing 76 excess parking spaces on site. Typical parking stalls, excluding handicap spaces, are dimensioned 9 feet 6 inches in width and 18 feet 6 inches in length. All proposed parking stalls, including the size and location of the spaces designated for handicap use, were reviewed and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building Division. In addition, all necessary traffic control signage and pavement markings will be provided on site to clearly delineate areas on site and direction of circulation. Landscaping: The majority of required landscaping was installed in 1995 with the construction of the existing building and parking lot on site. Additional landscaping is planned mainly around the proposed building, and landscape islands within the reconfigured parking areas. The focal area of the site is the heavily landscaped terrace between the existing and proposed buildings. Perimeter landscaping along the north and east property lines will also be upgraded to include additional landscaping as well as a signature tree on each side of the entrance. Per the Land Development Regulations, at least fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials must be native species. The landscape plan indicates 52% of trees and 60% of palms are native plant materials, such as laurel oak, live oak, royal palm, and sabal palm. Native shrubs on site will include red tip cocoplum, silver buttonwood, and fakahatchee grass. Building Design: The proposed building is a satellite of the existing building, with the main entrance in front of the existing building, and secondary access from the terrace between the two buildings. The plans indicate the proposed office building will be single story with a perimeter mansard roof that will screen roof top equipment and match the Key West style standing. seam metal roof proposed for the existing building. The existing and proposed buildings will be connected by a covered breezeway made of the same metal roof material. The elevations indicate the exterior finishes Staff Report - United Way (MSPM 05-010) Memorandum No PZ 05-235 Page 4 and colors of the proposed building are light grey and medium grey stucco block walls, and solar grey fixed glass windows with aluminum framing. The proposed building, as well as the walls to screen the dumpster and emergency generator, will match the existing building materials used on site. The applicant has submitted a letter of approval from the Quantum Park Architectural Review Committee for the proposed building design and colors. Setbacks: The proposed location of the office building complies with the required minimum building setbacks which are 30 feet for front and rear, and 20 feet on each side. The site plan, when measured to scale, indicates the rear of the proposed office building is 30 feet from the top of the lake bank. Height: The proposed one-story office building will be less than 18 feet measured from the mean height of the mansard roof. The maximum building height allowed in the PID zoning district is 45 feet. Lighting: The existing parking lot has freestanding light poles throughout the site which will remain. The proposed reconfiguration of the parking lot was designed around the existing outdoor lighting. Site lighting is sufficient and new lighting is not proposed. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for approval of a major site plan modification and recommends approval, contingent upon all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends that any deficiencies identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building permit. Also, any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

John Huntington Police Department CPTED Practitioner SUBJECT: United Way REFERENCES: Impacts of Proposed Site Plan Upon City Services ENCLOSURES: I have reviewed the impact for services for the proposed expansion for United Way of Palm Beach County. All though this project in itself may not have a direct impact on department service requirements, the need for additional officers in Zone 9 is evident by the high percentage of calls for service that one officer is currently handling. The projected growth in Quantum Park is immense, with both multi-family, office, commercial and retail projects planned for this area. The need for additional officers in Zone 9 is evident by the high percentage of calls for service that one officer is currently handling. Service requirements for the police department will be impacted greatly and the demand for more police personnel and equipment will be needed to balance the increase in population and projected traffic. / DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO. 05-087 TO: Ed Breese, Principal Planner, Planning and Zoning Laurinda Logan, P.E., Senior Engineer / l~ July 22 2005 ~,_ ') ~--~ FROM: DATE: RE: Review Comments Major Site Plan Modification - 1 st Review United Way File No. MSPM 05-010 The above referenced Site Plans, received on July 11, 2005, was reviewed for Public Works, Engineering, and Utilities against the requirements outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.

Will the existing dumpster be sufficient to handle the increased waste stream for the proposed building? PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC 2. Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. 3. 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. See City Standard Drawings "K" Series for striping details. 4. Eliminate the three parking stalls at the southwest corner of the front of the existing building. Cars would be required to back directly into an access aisle, a condition not permitted by our standards. 5. Realign the proposed stop bar and sign across from the area referenced in Condition #4 to be perpendicular to the access aisle. ENGINEERING 6. 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 Department of Development/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-087 Re: United Way Major Site Plan Modification - 1st Review July 22, 2005 Page 2 County Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any others, shall be included with the permit request. 7. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate sheets. 8. Please note that changes or reVISions to these plans may generate additional comments. Acceptance of these plans during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process does not ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review. 9. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets. 10. Show proposed site lighting on the Landscape Plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) Please provide photometrics as part of your TART plan submittals - it is much easier to identify and correct any deficiencies now than while you are waiting on a permit! 11. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b). 12. Show sight triangles on the Landscape Plans (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) Use 10-ft. sight triangles for all internal intersections. 13. Per the LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not permitted. 14. Landscape strips less than 10-ft. in width are not suitable for Mahogany due to their size at maturity. 15. 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. 16. Indicate by note that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5.A.2.g). 17. 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 18. All utility easements and utility lines 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. " Department of Development/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-087 Re: United Way Major Site Plan Modification - 1 sl Review July 22, 2005 Page 3 19. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). 20. 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)). 21. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 22. 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 seven (7) days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size, or expected demand. 23. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, 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). 24. 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. 25. 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. 26. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207. 27. 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. 28.

Kemmer, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal DATE: July 15, 2005 SUBJECT: MSPM 05-010 MSPM 05-009 NWSP 05-026 United Way of Palm Beach County Quantum Park Lots 16 + 16 (Coiltronics) Estancia Traffic Congestion and population density is a concern in this area. This situation will get worse as the density increases. Pursuit of traffic light pre- emption is essential as a remedy. To meet the increased demand additional resources are required such as personnel, apparatus, and equipment. It is imperative that Fire Station #5 be expedited to insure adequate service delivery levels and effective response times. This situation also increases the potential for mass causality events when large numbers of people occupy confined areas. This is becoming more prevalent in many areas of the city. Every added new commercial and multi-family occupancy increases the annual fire prevention inspection workload as required by ordinance. Although there have been a large number of these occupancies added in the past several years, our inspection staff has decreased. This situation has reached a point that may soon require changes in our inspection schedules that may negatively affect our future success. The past and current service level has prevented any significant fires in these occupancies for several years. New development projects involving multi-family or high-density commercial projects should be approved contingent upon consideration of future upgrades in emergency dispatch capability. These enhancements include new technology related to CAD, GIS, and AVL capability, as well as adequate staffing. All other factors (personnel, training, technology, fire station placement, building design features, etc) depend on a reliable and efficient method of getting the resources provided where they are needed in time to mitigate the consequences of an emergency, regardless of the type of response. c::/ Z~.E ~ n .
