Re: Ellipse - Shared Parking Study
Dear Hugo:
Traf Tech Engineering, Inc. was retained by RAM Development to undertake a shared
parking analysis in connection with the proposed re-development of the existing
shopping center located on the southwest comer of Woolbright Road and US 1 in the
City of Boynton Beach, Florida. Figure 1 on the next page illustrates the location of the
project site. The existing shopping center consists of approximately 150,000 square feet
of commercial space including a Publix Supermarket. The re-development plans include
the demolition of the existing commercial center and replacing it with a mixed-use
project. The land uses associated with the mixed-use development are:
o 594 townhome units (154 are one-bedroom units, 18 live/work units, and 422 two
and three bedroom units)
o 140,449 square feet of retail space, including restaurants
o 13,490 square feet of office space
Proposed Development
As indicated above, the proposed mixed-use development will include residential, retail,
and office land uses. The project parcel is divided in four quadrants by providing two
main internal roadways, one in the north-south direction and the other oriented east-west,
as depicted in the site plan contained in Appendix A of this study. The northwest
quadrant of the site plan is anticipated to include a Publix Supermarket, retail land uses,
office space, and residential units. The remaining portion of the site is planned with retail
space and residential units.
Access to the site is planned via two access driveways off of Woolbright Road, one
access driveway on US 1, and two access driveways off of SE 18th Avenue. The
easternmost driveway off of Woolbright Road is planned with a traffic signal in order to
allow all turning movements at this main entrance. The west driveway on Woolbright
Road is planned as a right-turn outbound-only driveway. The US 1 access driveway is
planned as a right-turn in/right-turn out driveway. All movements will be permitted from
the entrance/exit driveways located on SE 18th Avenue.

Shared Parking Analysis
A shared parking analysis was undertaken for the proposed mixed-use development.
Shared parking is defined as parking spaces that are shared between different land uses,
especially if the land uses have parking peaks at different times of the day. The parking
spaces required by the individual land uses were based on information contained in the
City of Boynton Beach Land Development Code.
The parking requirements of the individual land uses located within the site are presented
below:
o Residential (594 units 1):
o Retail (140,449 square feet2):
o Office (13,490 square feet):
Total
1,084 parking spaces
702 parking spaces
68 parking spaces
1,854 parking Spaces
Using the percent parking distribution (shared parking principles), by time of day, as
published in the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Shared Parking document, the maximum
number of parking spaces required to serve the land uses located at the site is 1,656
parking spaces. Table 1 presents the results of the shared parking analysis. Therefore,
the 1,661 proposed parking spaces are anticipated to be sufficient to comfortably
accommodate the peak parking demands of the proposed land uses associated with the
Ellipse mixed-use development

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject parcel were mailed a notice of this request and its
respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in
accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
The Sunshine Square shopping center, which encompasses 14.42 acres at the
southwest corner of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway, is part of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Local
Retail Commercial (LRC) to Mixed-Use (MX) and rezone the property from
Community Commercial (C-3) to Mixed-Use Low Intensity 3 (MU-L3). Because of the
size of the property under consideration, the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) classifies the amendment as "large scale". A "large scale" amendment
is transmitted to DCA for their review and comment prior to City adoption. The City
Commission reviewed the LUAR at their July 5, 2006 meeting and voted to transmit
the amendment to DCA. The Department has completed their review and the
amendments are ready for adoption by the City Commission, as is the requisite site
plan.
The site plan shows the existing Sunshine Square shopping center being demolished
in phases (in order to relocate and accommodate as many of the existing tenants as
possible), and replaced with a mixed-use project. The site is divided into four (4)
quadrants by a central street running north/south between Woolbright Road and SE
18th Avenue and another running east/west from Federal Highway to the FEC
Railroad right-of-way. The north/south road has an elliptical median containing
landscaped areas. Sidewalks front arcaded retail structures on each side of the
street. Retail/office structures front on Woolbright Road, Federal Highway and the
east/west internal drive. The center of three of the quadrant buildings house parking
decks, while the remaining quadrant, located on the northwest corner of the site,
contains the relocated Publix supermarket under a parking deck. The details
of the site plan will be discussed in the body of the staff report.

ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic: A traffic study was submitted by the applicant and reviewed by the Palm Beach
County Traffic Division. However, comments were generated by the Traffic
Division and as of today, the project has not received a letter of concurrency
approval from Palm Beach County. The applicant has re-submitted the information
addressing the County's comments and is awaiting their response. Additionally, the
applicant continues to participate in meetings with Palm Beach County Traffic
Engineering, the City Engineering Division and the developer of the parcel to the
north, across Woolbright Road (Las Ventanas), to coordinate the necessary
roadway and signalization improvements. No building permits are to be issued until
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division approves the study for traffic concurrency
purposes (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Utilities: The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach
County Utilities represents a portion of the City's potable water supply that would
support the needs of this project (projected to total 254,566 gallons per day).
Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required for the project,
dependent upon the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local
improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be
reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater
treatment capacity is currently available to serve the project total of 211,942
gallons per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity,
following approval of the site plan.
Police/Fire: Fire staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current-staffing levels would
be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. Infrastructure
requirements such as hydrants and roadways would be addressed during the
permitting process (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Police staff indicated
that the service requirements of the department will be impacted by this
development and that additional officers and equipment will be needed to serve
this and other approved projects in the vicinity.
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 (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District has determined that adequate capacity exists to accommodate
the projected resident children.
Driveways: The project can be characterized as "urban infill, mixed-use" development whereby
front building setbacks are minimal and off-street parking is relegated to a
subordinate role. The site plan shows that the development would be divided into
four (4) distinct sections. The plans show that parking garages would provide for
the majority of off-street parking spaces for the entire project. The garages are
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 4
intentionally proposed as hidden structures located within the core of the project
and virtually unseen from the major roadways. Likewise, the project is not
proposing traditional driveways or surface parking lots like that of "suburban"-type
of projects (where driveways connect to off-street parking located in front of the
buildings).
The site plan shows that vehicles would enter the site from three (3) locations. The
main entrances are proposed on Federal Highway near the center of the roadway
frontage and on Woolbright Road, again near the middle of that roadway frontage.
The Federal Highway entrance would have a deceleration lane for southbound
Federal traffic and no median cut for northbound traffic. Egress from this curb cut
would be limited to right hand turning movements only (southbound Federal
Highway). The Woolbright Road entrance would have an eastbound deceleration
lane and two (2) ingress and two (2) egress lanes, separated by a 12-foot
landscape island. This would be a full access entrance with a proposed traffic signal
aligned with the Woolbright Road entrance of the project to the north (Las
Ventanas). Motorists would be able to enter or exit this location from all directions.
The project's third entrance is proposed along SE 18th Avenue, at the southern
terminus of the Woolbright Road entry drive. This entrance would also provide
access to the entire site. The driveway opening would be 24 feet in width and
provide ingress/egress from a road with lower volumes of traffic. Lastly, there is an
exit drive proposed at the northwest corner of the site at Woolbright Road and the
railroad tracks that is designed as an "egress only" for the service/delivery area at
the rear of Publix. All driveway, drive aisles, and turning radius, internal to the
development, would be improved to conform to current city engineering standards.
Parking Facility: Off-street parking proposed within the development must meet the requirements in
Chapter 2, Section n.H. of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
The project proposes a mix of residential, office and retail uses. One-bedroom
apartment units require one and one-half (1'12) parking spaces. Two or more
bedroom units require two (2) parking spaces. The project proposes a total of 558
dwelling units (with a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms) and 18 live/work
townhouse units, in conjunction with 153,939 square feet of retail/office space.
When combined, the total parking requirements equal 1,854 spaces. The project
proposes 1,656 parking spaces, a deficiency of 198 parking spaces. However, the
code allows a mixed-use project to present a shared parking analysis in compliance
with the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) guidelines. The applicant submitted the
shared parking analysis prepared by their traffic consultant, TrafTech Engineering
Inc., indicating that the maximum number of parking spaces required for the
mixed-use project would be 1,656, based upon the greatest demand for parking
being a weekday evening at 8:00 PM. The analysis concludes that there would be
sufficient parking during the highest demand, with no excess. During the other
hours of the day (10:00 AM - 10:00 PM), the parking demand ranges between
1,300 and the 1,656 parking spaces noted above at the 8:00 PM hour. As in all
cases, the City Commission must accept the shared parking analysis when
approving a site plan (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 5
The parking spaces would be provided as follows: 1,611 parking garage spaces,
and 45 on-street parking spaces. As previously discussed, the site is divided into
four quadrants by bisecting streets. According to the site plan (Sheet A1.01), the
Phase IA parcel (NE quadrant) would contain 31,675 square feet of retail/office
space. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, which is utilized when
analyzing mixed-use projects, this building would require 159 parking spaces. The
building also accommodates 126 residential units (42 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5
spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 231 parking spaces would be
required for the residential units. Therefore, 390 parking spaces are required in
Phase IA and 312 are provided as a result of the shared parking analysis. The
Phase IB parcel (SE quadrant) would contain 26,235 square feet of retail/office
space. Using the same methodology used for Phase lA, this building would require
132 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 102 residential units (30 - 1
BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other, 189
parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 321 parking
spaces are required in Phase IB and 281 are provided as a result of the shared
parking analysis.
The Phase IIA parcel (NW quadrant) would contain 81,684 square feet of
retail/office space, which includes the proposed 54,064 square foot new Publix
store. Based upon parking calculations for shopping centers, this building would
require 408 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 90 residential units
(24 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2 spaces for all other,
168 parking spaces would be required for the residential units. Therefore, 576
parking spaces are required in Phase IIA and 1,039 are provided as a result of the
shared parking analysis. However, the parking garage associated with Phase IIA is
connected to and provides the required parking for Phase lIB, immediately to the
south. Phase lIB is the southwestern-most parcel and would contain 14,345 square
feet of retail space. Again, based upon parking calculations for shopping centers,
this building would require 72 parking spaces. The building also accommodates 258
residential units (58 - 1 BR units). Based upon 1.5 spaces for 1 BR units and 2
spaces for all other, 451 parking spaces would be required for these residential
units. Additionally, there are 18 live/work townhouse units proposed around the
south and east sides of the building which require 2.5 parking spaces for each unit,
thus necessitating 45 more parking spaces. Therefore, with the 568 parking spaces
required in Phase lIB plus the 576 in Phase IIA, a total of 1,144 parking spaces are
required and 1,063 are provided as a result of the shared parking analysis.
Should the applicant propose to place a gate within any or all of the parking
structures to separate the residential parking from the general use parking, the
applicant shall be required to provide an updated shared parking analysis to ensure
that the assumptions made in the analysis are not voided by such action (see
"Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Landscaping:
The Site Plan tabular data (Sheet A1.01) indicates that the proposed pervious areas
would equal 21.2% of the site. The MU-L3 zoning district requires a minimum 20%
pervious area, which is satisfied with the proposed site plan. The Landscape Notes
(Sheet TD5) indicates the subject site currently contains 153 trees, 33 of which
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204
Page 6
would remain in place, 66 of which would be relocated on site, and 54 designated
for removal. Most of those to be removed are in poor condition and the applicant
will be required to replace the total caliper inches of those trees removed with new
specimens. The landscape plan plant list proposes the installation of 92 new
canopy trees plus the relocation of 40 existing trees and the retention of 6, for a
total of 138 canopy trees. 341 new palm trees are proposed, as well as 54 existing
or relocated palms, for a total of 396. The plan also depicts 9,555 shrub and
groundcover plants. According to the plant list, 50% of the canopy trees would be
native and 57% of the palm trees would be native. The landscape plan also
proposes in excess of 50% native shrubs / hedges / accent plants. The plant list
indicates the following species to be utilized throughout the project: Medjool Date
palms, Sabal, Coconut and Royal palms, Purple Glory, Live Oak, Black Olive,
Mahogany and Pigeon Plum trees, Dwarf Schefflera, Cocoplum, Ixora, Hibiscus,
Plumbago, Viburnum shrubs, as well as, Crinum Lily and Annuals.
Royal palm trees are proposed in front of the buildings (along Federal Highway and
Woolbright Road) and are proposed to be installed at an overall height of 22 feet.
Staff recommends that the Royal palm trees along these thoroughfares be installed
at approximately half of the building height, in the range of 30-35 feet (see "Exhibit
C" - Conditions of Approval). These mixed-use buildings would be located close to
the east and south property lines and therefore, would be consistent with the intent
of the Land Development Regulations of the MU-L3 zoning district. However, the
landscape plan still would provide for plant material along these main roadways to
help break up the building mass. In fact, these areas would be 10 feet in width to
accommodate the installation of the larger-size palm trees.
The south landscape buffer, along SE 18th Avenue and the live/work townhomes,
would be approximately 13 feet in depth at its narrowest point. The south buffer is
proposed to include Laurel Oak, Green Buttonwood and Bougainvillea trees, Royal
and Cabbage palms, and among others, hibiscus, dwarf sch effl era and wax jasmine
shrubs.
Although not dimensioned, it appears as though the west landscape buffer adjacent
to the Florida East Coast railroad right-of-way would vary in width from six (6) feet
at its narrowest point (behind Publix) to approximately 70 feet, near the
southwestern portion of the site. Live Oak trees and Sabal palms are the
predominant trees proposed for this buffer, along with Cocoplum hedge material.
Additionally, there is a water feature with arbors and a variety of landscape
material proposed along the west buffer, at the west terminus of the main
east/west drive through the site.
The interior of the site would basically contain the same plant material as the
perimeter buffers. The interior street system would have intermittent, parallel (on-
street) parking spaces and wide sidewalks that accommodate a pedestrian friendly
window-shopping environment, landscape cutouts and adequate area for outdoor
seating/dining.
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204

Building and Site: The site plan proposes a mix of residential, office and commercial uses. The
commercial/office square footage would total 14.3% of the total building area.
Building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements
when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The maximum
allowed density of the Mixed-Use land use category would be 40 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed project density would be 39.94 dwelling units per acre. As
previously mentioned, the existing shopping center would be replaced with four (4)
seven (7)-story mixed-use buildings, three (3) of which wrap interior parking
structures. The depth of the parcel extends westward from Federal Highway to the
Florida East Coast railroad tracks. The subject property fronts on two (2) major
roadways (Federal Highway and Woolbright Road). The parcel located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road
(approximately half an acre in size) is not included in the request for land use
amendment/rezoning and site plan approval. This corner parcel contains a gas
station and is classified Local Retail Commercial and zoned C-3 Community
Commercial. The proposed building in Phase IA would wrap around the gas station
parcel with retail on the first floor and residential units above and parking structure
inside. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the property lines and
then the building steps back approximately 15 feet further from Federal Highway
and 7 feet further from Woolbright Road, at a height of approximately 30 feet. The
MU-L3 zoning district allows for a maximum building height of 75 feet, for
properties not abutting the Mixed-Use High (MU-H) district. The elevations (Sheet
A1.06) of the Phase IA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the
roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. This
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet. While the stair/elevator
towers are eligible for a Height Exception, the roofline itself cannot exceed the 75-
foot threshold. The applicant has been made aware of this situation and has
agreed to modify the height of the structure to conform at time of permitting, and
has applied for a Height Exception for the eligible towers (HTEX 07-001), which is
being processed concurrently with the site plan. Staff has recommended that the
building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height
and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IB (SE quadrant of the site) would be constructed
immediately north of a parcel (approximately 1 acre in size) classified Local Retail
Commercial and zoned C-3 Community Commercial and containing a small strip
commercial shopping plaza and residential property, fronting on SE 18th Avenue,
and not included in this request for land use amendment/rezoning and site plan
approval. This seven (7)-story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first
floor and residential units above and parking structure inside. The south side of this
building does not however have the parking structure wrapped with storefronts,
and the condominium units/recreation amenity does not begin until the fourth floor.
A 10-foot setback has been depicted to provide the necessary landscape buffer, at
the appropriate height. Staff recommends that applicant provide the necessary
landscape at varying heights to assist in the screening of the three levels of parking
(see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval). The first and second floors are setback
10 feet from the east property line, like in Phase IA and then the building appears
to step back at an angle, between 10 and 25 feet further from Federal Highway, at

a height of approximately 30 feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase IB
mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to the roofline with a total height
to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet. Like the Phase IA building, this
would not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended
that the building be modified by the two (2) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
The proposed building in Phase IIA (NW quadrant of the site) would house the
relocated Publix. Fronting the Publix on Woolbright Road would be office uses on
the first floor with residential above to the ih floor. Wrapping around the Publix on
the east side is retail on the first floor and residential units above, with one level of
parking deck above the Publix and a bridge connection to the interior parking
structure in Phase lIB. The first and second floors are setback 10 feet from the
north property line abutting Woolbright Road and then the building steps back
approximately 12 feet further, at a height of approximately 27 feet. The elevations
(Sheet A1.06) of the Phase IIA mixed-use structure, depict the height at 77 feet to
the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the stair/elevator towers at 91 feet.
Like the previous two (2) phases, this would not comply with the height limitation
of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that the building be modified by the two (2)
feet it exceeds the maximum allowed height and placed a condition to that effect in
the Conditions of Approval. On the ground level, in between the office/residential
structure facing Woolbright Road and the Publix building, is a service court for
deliveries, refuse collection and other utility purposes that is screened from the
residential units above by the parking deck connecting the Publix building to the
office/residential structure facing Woolbright Road.
Lastly, the proposed building in Phase lIB (SW quadrant of the site) and current
location of Publix, would be the last phase to be constructed, once Publix relocated
into its new building and the old structure could be demolished. This seven (7)-
story mixed-use building would also have retail on the first floor and residential
units above along the northern portion of the building on the east side. The
remainder of the east fa~ade and south side would be live/work units, with regular
condominium units above. The live/work units would be setback approximately 12
from the SE 18th Avenue right-of-way and then the building steps back
approximately 10 feet further from SE 18th Avenue, at a height of approximately 27
feet. The elevations (Sheet A1.06) of the Phase lIB mixed-use structure, depict the
height at 80 feet to the roofline with a total height to the tallest of the
stair/elevator towers at 94 feet. Like all of the previous phases this building would
not comply with the height limitation of 75 feet, and staff has recommended that
the building be modified by the five (5) feet it exceeds the maximum allowed
height and placed a condition to that effect in the Conditions of Approval.
Desig n:
As noted previously, the proposed development can be generally described as
being separated into four (4) quadrants of similarly designed seven (7) story
structures. The proposed architecture could be described as contemporary design,
with varying rooflines and fa~ade step backs for interest and shadowing. Also
noteworthy is that the project parking would be virtually hidden from most all views
and is considered to be a subordinate, mostly unobtrusive element of the plan.
Staff Report - Ellipse (NWSP 06-021)
Memorandum No PZ 06-204

Staff recommends that those areas in which the parking garage is exposed to the
exterior of the project, especially abutting the gas station, the
commercial/residential to the south and along the west elevation, the garage
openings be enhanced with decorative metal work, decorative shutters, awnings,
and in some instances landscaping (see "Exhibit C" - Conditions of Approval).
Vehicular traffic is contained within the internal framework of the project, utilizing
the cross-shaped road pattern created by the north/south and east/west drives,
including the elliptical parkway/landscape median through the heart of the project.
The elevations indicate the proposed exterior finish and colors of the buildings and
a color schedule has been provided via ledger-sized color board. The applicant is
proposing four (4) colors throughout the entire development. The project's
proposed building colors are as follows:
Off White
Medium Tan
Dark Tan
Light Beige
Snow White
Roxbury Caramel
Richmond Gold
Sag Harbor Gray
OC-66
HC-42
HC-41
HC-95
BM Paints

BM Paints
The majority of the body of the buildings would be painted white, with most of the
articulated wall portions and towers proposed to be painted the medium tan.
Certain sections of recessed wall are painted the light beige, while prominent wall
features along the lower building elevations are painted the dark tan.
A feature element in the design of the project is the elliptical shaped central plaza
that graces each side of the intersection of the two (2) drives. This feature is
labeled as the north and south commons on the plans, and includes a series of
walkways meandering around pockets of landscape and terminating at large scale
fountains (which the applicants proposes to fulfill the Arts in Public Places
requirement), along the north and south sides of the east/west cross street, at the
heart of the project. The architect has carried through the theme by designing the
footprint of the retail buildings rimming the elliptical feature to follow its perimeter,
thus providing a concave look to the row of storefronts. Above the retail space, the
large continuous balcony for the residential units above also conform to the shape
of the common area below to accentuate the unique design. Then the residential
units are proposed to be constructed in a staggered pattern, again to carry through
the design scheme below.
Signage:
Minimal project detail regarding proposed signage was shown with this submittal.
Staff recommends utilizing a Sign Program for the entire project to ensure
sustained continuity throughout the life of the project (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions
of Approval). All project signage shall conform to the regulations as set forth in
Chapter 9 (Community Design Plan) and Chapter 21 of the Land Development
Regulations, as formalized in an adopted Sign Program for this project.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Concurrent with the processing of this site plan application staff is proposing amendments to the mixed-
use zoning district regulations to implement recommendations from redevelopment plans and the
conclusions from recent workshops and hearings. The major change in the proposed code amendments is
the division of the Mixed Use-Low Intensity zoning district into three distinct low intensity districts; Mixed
Use-Low 1 (MU-Ll), Mixed Use-Low 2 (MU-L2) and Mixed Use-Low 3 (MU-L3). Specifically related to this
project is the new accommodation of supermarkets, changing the maximum size from 30,000 square feet
to 80,000 square feet, in part, to accommodate the subject Publix store within this project, and to
acknowledge our understanding of current trends and strategies of the large grocery store chains.
Other notable changes represented by the new districts include 1) building setbacks, increasing to 10 feet
on the sides and rear to reduce potential impacts upon adjacent properties; and 2) the introduction of the
Sky Exposure Plane provision that sets a building envelope that narrows uniformly around the building as
height increases. Simply stated, this requirement is a six-foot to one-foot (6' to 1') step-back slope applied
to each side of each project in a mixed-use district. This requirement is also intended to reduce potential
impacts on adjacent properties and the streetscape, by reducing building bulk without inhibiting flexibility
in design. This increased setback requirement appears to be satisfied on all sides of the proposed project
except at the northwest corner. With respect to building step-backs, although the relief proposed on
several of the elevations exceed the requirements of the new Mixed-use Low 3 district, those elevations
with no or minimal step-back must be reconsidered by the applicant and redesigned accordingly. As
required by the conditions of approval, the permit drawings must reflect the minor adjustments required to
meet the new minimum building setback of 10 feet, and new slope plane of 6' to 1'.
Staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval, contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request for Height Exception (HTEX 07-001) and all items noted within Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

31. There is an existing six (6) inch DIP water main running east to west
immediately north of the existing Public supermarket, which is not addressed
as to be either removed or relocated. In addition, the proposed eight (8) inch
water main run in the middle of the property running north-south direction is
shown as connecting to an existing six (6) inch line along the north side of SE
18th A venue. This is not acceptable. This project will be required to develop
a Hardy-Cross analysis of the project site and the surrounding area to
determine which external links will need to be upgraded to support this
development.
The existing 6" line north of Publix will be abandoned. Although our analysis of
the water system shows that no external upgrades are required on external links,
we are contemplating upgrades to the 6" line to 8" at Woolbright and S.E. 18h
Avenue adiacent to the site to comply with the Utility Master Plan.
32. Upsize the water main in Woolbright Road to meet the requirements of the
Utility Master Plan. The main shall be upsized from the west side of the
FECRR east to the point of connection (west driveway) for the project.
Consideration is been given to upsizing the existing line from east of the railroad
tracks-east to the driveway entrance,

62. Parkin!! Gara!!e
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity
can be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a. Should adhere to the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North
America) standards for garages.
b. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
c. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than just
into driving aisles.
d. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
e. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
f. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth
perception.
g. The parking garage should be designed to minimize solid walls which will
assist in improving natural surveillance. Wrought iron fencing instead of
solid walls would be ideal and preferable.
h. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from exterior
common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent open access to the
first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior walls surrounding the first
floor parking should be at least three to four feet high with decorative
screening in place between the top of the wall and the flooring of the second
parking level. The screening would discourage anyone from entering the
facility on foot, yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
The lower levels of the garages service the commercial uses, public access
is required and desired, security shall be accomplished by surveillance
camera and lighting systems.
L Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas should be
emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar hardware,
J. The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should have raised
crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire Department and City
Engineering,
k. Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility.
1. Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage,
m. The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual in
the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two sides
of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be equipped with
emergency communication and not be equipped with stop button.

and steps.
0, For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of low lux cameras, with monitoring and
photo processing picture or video printout capabilities, shall be installed.
p. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations like ingress/egress
points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of the facility. The
monitoring and control of surveillance system should be at a central
monitoring office or other designated location, It should be posted at all
access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility IS under video
surveillance.

indicate the sign type, letter colors and sign material (per the proposed
Master Sign Program).
201. Be advised that a Publix sign will not be allowed on the parking structure as
depicted in the elevations (Ph lA East). A Publix wall sign is allowed on
the building wall of Publix store, and shall not extend above the parapet of
the building or beyond the building corners. The maximum sign area for
Publix is 1.5 sf of area for each one (1) foot of linear frontage.
202. On site plan, the size of the two (2) proposed freestanding monument signs
differs, yet the typical sign detail provided on sheet A1.04 appears to apply
to both signs. Then there is a separate detail of an entry monument sign on
H7 of 7. Please clarify by providing all signage details in one location on
plans, and by noting which sign detail applies to which right-of-way.
203. Revise sign elevations to clearly identify the proposed sign area with new
name of development and show the site address at the top of the monument
sign (Chapter 21, Article 4, Section 5.B.). Also provide materials and
colors of sign structure, sign face, and font on sign details.
204. Show the locations of fire hydrants and utility poles on all plans.
205. Revise building elevations (Ph IIA West) to provide architectural
enhancements to west side ofPublix building, and provide varying levels of
landscaping up to a minimum of 12 the building height.
206. Recreational amenities for 576 dwelling units are located solely in Ph IE on
fourth level of parking garage. There will be no recreational amenities
available for the 126 units in Ph IA (until completion of next Ph m).
Revise plans to provide recreation throughout the development that is more
available to units in other phases. Staff recommends revising the other two
parking garages to provide similar recreational amenities for units wrapped
around those garages.
207. Ph IA grade level parking has a parallel parking space designated as a
handicap space. Revise location of this space
208. Clarify lines for parking spaces in garages, and draw all spaces to scale.
209. Check parking counts for each floor plan of each garage in each phase and
ensure that parking provided breakdown and totals on tabular (sheet AI. 01)
match.
210. Provide a plan which shows pedestrian connections and pedestrian
circulation, walkway widths, and plazas.

Services
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the impact for services for the proposed site plan to be located on the South West comer of S
Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. (formally Sunshine Square)
For the purpose of this study, a statistical analysis was completed to show the percentage of increase of police
calls for service for the selected project area. A crime analysis for 2005 shows that there have been 14,971 calls
for service for zone 4 & 5 and represents 13.3% of all total calls for service. There are no other existing
developments to use as a comparison for this assessment. It must be noted that this project is one of six mixed-
use projects planned for completion.
This project calls for 576 multi-family units, retail/office space and new Publix. One 6-level parking garage
and two 3-level parking garages are also planned as part of this project. The need for additional officers in
Zone 4 and 5 is evident by the high percentage of calls for service that officers are currently handling. This
future project along with Boynton Lofts, the Marina project and future plans for the development ofE. Ocean
Ave. south to SE 5 Avenue, will have a direct impact on providing an adequate level of public service to this
area. Additional officers and equipment will be needed to support this increase in department services.
City wide, an increase of 8 % of total calls for service can be expected due to proposed growth. Future
projects along the waterfront will increase local retail and office space and increase public traffic. These new
developments will have a direct impact on future public safety issues, to include calls for service. 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 non residential traffic into our city.

REFERENCES: Site Plan
ENCLOSURES:
I have viewed the above building plans and have the following comments:
Construction Site Approval:
1. The Staff recommends that prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall
prepare a construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
Department CPTED Official.
a. The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of construction
trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate opportunities for theft.
The management plan shall include, but not be limited to, temporary lighting, security
personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass, reduce/minimize entry/exit
points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery, tools at end of work day and/or
any other measure deemed appropriate to provide a safe and secure working
environment. The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project.
2. Parkina Garaae
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can be
high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Should adhere to the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North
America) standards for garages.
b) Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
c) Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than
just into driving aisles.
d) The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
e) Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
f) Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth
perception.
g) The Parking garage should be designed to minimize solid walls which will
assist in improving natural surveillance. Wrought iron fencing instead of
solid walls would be ideal and preferable.
h) First level of parking garage should have restricted access from exterior
common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent open access to the
first floor by
unwanted persons. The exterior walls surrounding the first floor parking
should be at least three to four feet high with decorative screening in
place between the top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking
level.
The screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on foot,
yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
i) Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas should
be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar hardware.
j) The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should have
raised crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire Department and City
Engineering.
k) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility.
I) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
m) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual
in the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two
sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be
equipped with emergency communication and not be equipped with stop
button.
n) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal
handrails and steps.
0) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of low lux cameras, with monitoring and
photo processing picture or video printout capabilities, shall be installed.
p) Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations like
ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of the
facility. The monitoring and control of surveillance system should be at a
central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be posted
at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under video
surveillance.
q) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.
3. Residential: The Staff recommends the following conditions of approval:
1. Landscaping should not obstruct view of windows, building address numbers, and
walkways.
2. Numerical Address:
. Needs to be illuminated for nighttime visibility.
. Must have bi-directional visibility from the roadway.
. Building numbers for multi-unit buildings need to be a minimum of 12" and
placed on the front and rear of the building in a conspicuous location away from
landscaping.
3. Mail boxes for multi-units should be placed in a high activity and conspicuous
location for enhanced safety and natural surveillance of users.
4. Stairways (to include riser/banister) and balconies shall provide open views.
5. Sales center, clubhouse and recreational facilities should be pre-wired for alarm
systems.
6. Restrict access to recreation buildings and pools through the use of key card or key
7. When placing the order for a front door that will have a side pane window it should be
placed on the opposite side of the door handle and lock making them unreachable.
This would not apply to customized doors.
8. If front door has zero visibility to front entryway area, equip it with a 180-degree
peephole.
9. Equip all exterior doors with security hinges.
4. Commercial: The Staff recommends the following conditions of approval:
a) Landscaping should not obstruct view from doors, windows or walkways.
b) All perimeter doors should be equipped with reinforced, case hardened strike plate.
c) Rear door shall have 180- degree peephole or security window.
d) Delivery doors/bays should be secured with locks and alarm system.
e) Directories shall be placed at the ingress points and strategically place directories
with arrow indicators for buildings throughout the property at vehicle driver slight
level.
f) Bicycle Racks shall be installed near building entrances or in close
proximity to buildings. Not in parking lots.
5. Liahtina: The Staff recommends the following as a condition of approval:
1. Landscaping shall not conflict with lighting (to include long-term tree
canopy growth).
2. Building lighting (non- glare) should be around perimeter of all sides
and on pedestrian sidewalk.
3. Provide timer clock or photocell sensor engaged lighting for above or
near entryways to residences and commercial buildings and all
pedestrian sidewalks.

UTILITIES
30. 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.
31. All utility easements shall be shown on the Site plan, Landscape and Hardscape 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.
32. 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 LOR, 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.
33. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
34. 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 LOR, Chapter
6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater
(CODE, Section 26-16(b)).
35. The LOR, 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. The northernmost eastern building, the easternmost northern building, the
middle of the northernmost western building, a small portion of the Public supermarket, and the
easternmost southern building lack sufficient coverage. Please correct.
36. 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.
37. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires' the conservation of potable water. As other sources
are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation.
38. 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).
39. 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.

40. 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.
41. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
42. The Water & Sanitary Sewer plans reflect numerous 450 bends; please revise to read 22-1/20 bends
as no 450 deflections are shown. Check all call-outs to assure they have been correctly identified.
43. 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.
44. Provide a minimum of 10-ft. separation between water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer lines.
Please note that City of Boynton Beach separation standards are more stringent that FDEP
standards.
45. The waste stream from any food preparation area processes must meet the City's pretreatment
requirements. A sampling point must be provided to allow monitoring of this waste stream (refer to
CODE Section 26-143 and Section 26-147.)
46. All retail buildings are indicated as being fully sprinklered, yet nothing is indicated for the live-work
townhomes. Are they to be sprinklered also?
47. All multi-level parking structures (garages); are they to be sprinklered? Spacing of the fire hydrants
(see Comment #35) reflects several coverage gaps.
48. There is an existing 6-in. DIP water main running east to west immediately north of the existing
Public supermarket, which is not addressed as to be either removed or relocated. In addition, the
proposed 8-in. water main run in the middle of the property runnin~ north-south direction is shown as
connecting to an existing 6-in. line along the north side of SE 18t Avenue. This is not acceptable.
This project will be required to develop a Hardy-Cross analysis of the project site and the surrounding
area to determine which external links will need to be upgraded to support this development.

Label each building on the site plan with the number of floors and building height.
Also, please provide an additional unstapled set of separate building elevations for each building that is
subject to the height exception (exceeding 75 feet). These elevations will be used separately as part of the
height exception presentation to the Board.
Revise all plans to demonstrate that front setbacks are measured from arcades along Federal and
Woolbright in compliance with the MU-L3 front setback of 0-10 feet.
Specify if proposed development will include a bank. If so, provide details in tabular for bank use, floor
location, square footage, and specify with or without drive-thru teller facilities. A bank with drive up
teller facilities requires conditional use approval (separate application).
All proposed uses must be consistent with the MU -L3 zoning district identified in Chapter 2 of the Land
Development Regulations.
Please submit a list of permissible uses for the Live/W ork units that will be included into the bylaws for
the development (refer to Ch. 2, Section 6.H.15. Live/Work Permissible Uses in SMU District for uses).
All proposed outdoor dining areas must have a sidewalk cafe permit and comply with all requirements for
such.
The trash enclosures shall resemble with respect to the color and materials, the design of the principal
buildings and shall be integrated with other site elements (Chapter 9, Section 10.E.3.). On the site plan,
place a note indicating this requirement.
Equipment placed on the walls of the buildings shall be painted to match the building color (Chapter 9,
Section 10.CA.). Place a note on the elevations indicating this requirement.
The removal/relocation of trees is subject to review and approval of the City Forester / Environmentalist.
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.) and with multi-story developments trees placed around the buildings must be a minimum
of Y2 the height of the building.
The Royal Palm specifications appear incorrect, indicating only a 6 foot to 8 foot height.
All required shrubs are 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.).
A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials in each category (palms, canopy trees,
shrubs, groundcovers) must be native species. Indicate amount of each species proposed and if native
material, and indicate a total % native provided for each category in the plant list of the landscape plan
(Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.P).
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 6 feet of clear trunk if placed within the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.).
Depict paver sidewalks along Federal Highway on the site plan and landscape plan. Also note on plans
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 5.F.8.d.(2).
Provide a typical drawing that includes the height and color / 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 proposed freestanding site lighting locations on the site plan and landscape plan (LDR, Chapter 4,
Section 7.BA.).
Staff recommends incorporating an upgraded Palm Tran bus stop shelter into the design of the project
along Federal Highway. Coordinate with Palm Tran and provide a written response at the TART
meeting. In addition, please include an architectural detail of proposed bus shelter on plans.
Staff recommends the submittal of a master sign program as part of this site plan process to encourage
continuity for signage, while allowing for flexibility with respect to type, color, and design of signs.
On the building elevations indicate the cumulative area of 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 (per
the proposed Master Sign Program).
Be advised that a Publix sign will not be allowed on the parking structure as depicted in the elevations (Ph
lA East). A Publix wall sign is allowed on the building wall of Publix store, and shall not extend above
the parapet of the building or beyond the building comers. The maximum sign area for Publix is 1.5 sf of
area for each one (1) foot oflinear frontage.
On site plan, the size of the two (2) proposed freestanding monument signs differs, yet the typical sign
detail provided on sheet Al.04 appears to apply to both signs. Then there is a separate detail of an entry
monument sign on H7 of 7. Please clarify by providing all signage details in one location on plans, and
by noting which sign detail applies to which right-of-way.
Revise sign elevations to clearly identify the proposed sign area with new name of development and show
the site address at the top of the monument sign (Chapter 21, Article 4, Section 5.B.). Also provide
materials and colors of sign structure, sign face, and font on sign details.
Show the locations of fire hydrants and utility poles on all plans.
Revise building elevations (Ph IIA West) to provide architectural enhancements to west side of Publix
building, and provide varying levels oflandscaping up to a minimum of Y2 the building height.
Recreational amenities for 576 dwelling units are located solely in Ph m on fourth level of parking
garage. There will be no recreational amenities available for the 126 units in Ph IA (until completion of
next Ph m). Revise plans to provide recreation throughout the development that is more available to
units in other phases. Staff recommends revising the other two parking garages to provide similar
recreational amenities for units wrapped around those garages.
Ph IA grade level parking has a parallel parking space designated as a handicap space. Revise location of
this space.
Clarify lines for parking spaces in garages, and draw all spaces to scale.
Check parking counts for each floor plan of each garage in each phase and ensure that parking provided
breakdown and totals on tabular (sheet A1.01) match.
Provide a plan which shows pedestrian connections and pedestrian circulation, walkway widths, and
plazas.
Include details on plans of fountains proposed in north and south commons.
