Memorandum No. PZ 05-220
BACKGROUND
Mr. Hany Edward is requesting a one (l)-yeartime extension for The Edward Medical Office Building Site Plan
Development Order (NWSP 04-012) which was approved by the City Commission on November 16, 2004.
The site plan approval is valid for one (1) year from the date of approval, unless a building permit has been
issued or a time extension applied for. If this request for extension were approved, the expiration date of this
site plan would be extended to November 16, 2006.
According to the original site plan staff report, the proposed Edward Medical Office Building will consist of a
two story structure of 11,796 square feet with under-story parking on a 0.72 acre lot which is zoned C-3
(Community Commercial). The project has been approved for the following: annexation from unincorporated
Palm Beach County (ANEX 04-004), a land use amendment (LUAR 04-008) from CHIS Commercial High
Intensity (Palm Beach County) to Local Retail Commercial (LRC), a rezoning (LUAR 04-008) from CG General
Commercial (Palm Beach County) to Community Commercial (C-3), and a Site Plan (NWSP 04-012). The
construction of the building, parking lot, and all other site improvements will occur within one (1) phase.
ANALYSIS
According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have one (1)
year to secure a building permit from the Development Department". Examples of building permits include
but are not limited to the following: Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, foundation, and structural. The
Regulations authorize the City Commission to approve one (1) year time extensions, provided that the
applicant files the request prior to the expiration date of the development order. In this case, the applicant
has met that requirement. The Planning & Zoning Division received the application for time extension on
October 19, 2005, which is 28 days before the expiration date of the site plan approval.
According to the time extension application, Mr. Edward indicates that he has "been trying to obtain a
construction loan from a financial institution for the last 8 months, but each bank requested that he sell or
lease several units prior to obtaining the construction loan". While it may be true that the applicant
experienced delays caused by private matters in construction financing, the onus is still on the applicant to
submit drawings to the Building Division in order to secure a building or infrastructure type of permit.
Submitting these types of permit plans demonstrates "good faith" to the City that the applicant is attempting
to complete the project.
Also, a more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with concurrency
requirements. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division approved the traffic study for the proposed medical
office project. Based on their review, the proposed project does not constitute a 1 % LOS D Capacity impact
on Federal Highway, and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Traffic
concurrency was approved with a build-out date of 2005 and no building permits are to be issued by the City
for this project after the 2005 build-out date. Since the applicant will not obtain building permits for this
project by the end of 2005, a revised traffic study will be required for approval by the County (see Exhibit "c"
- Conditions of Approval). As for utilities, records indicate the utility reservation has not yet been paid,
therefore the related condition of approval still stands. The site plan time extension is still subject to the 40
conditions of site plan approval (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Lastly, only one new land development regulation has been adopted against which the project should be
reviewed and modified. On August 2, 2005, the City Commission passed Ordinance 05-029, entitled "The
Urban Commercial District Overlay Zone", which amended the setback regulations for commercially zoned
properties within established redevelopment plans. This particular parcel lies within the Federal Highway
Page 3
Edward Medical Office SPTE 06-001
Memorandum No. PZ 05-220
Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. This project was designed following established setbacks within
the Community Commercial (C-3) zoning district, which requires a minimum 20 foot front setback, and a
setback of approximately 29 feet was provided. The Overlay now establishes a build-to line rather than a
minimum setback. This build-to line is from 5 feet to 15 feet for the front yard. No other yard setbacks are
affected by the overlay provisions.
The objective of the Overlay is to encourage commercially zoned parcels to be developed in a manner
consistent with the pattern of mixed-use projects, while improving the aesthetic and pedestrian streetscape
environment. A review of approved and proposed residential projects (PUD or IPUD) in the immediate vicinity
depicts setbacks from Federal Highway between 10 and 20 feet. The only other recently approved non-
residential project in the immediate vicinity (2 parcels to the south), Victoria's Closet, which was approved in
2002, has an 85 foot setback from Federal Highway.
Staff recommends that no change be made to the existing approved site plan, subject of this time extension
request. This position is based upon the following characteristics: (1) the site plan was previously approved
with design characteristics to represent an enhancement to the area; (2) the portion of the building that could
potentially be brought closer to Federal Highway is the side of the building and, combined with it's narrow
width, the project may contribute minimally to the streetscape if moved eastward 15 feet; (3) the fountains at
the entry drive may be jeopardized by moving the building forward, and (4) the landscaping between the
building and roadway would be reduced.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this request for a one (i)-year time extension of the site plan (NWSP 04-012) be
approved, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval. If this request
for extension were approved, the expiration date of this site plan would be extended to November 16, 2006.
As previously mentioned, staff is generally in favor of the redevelopment efforts proposed in the approved
site plan. If this request for site plan time extension is approved, all conditions of approval from the original
site plan must still be satisfactorily addressed during the building permit process.
