PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feetof the subject site plan were mailed a notice of this request and Its
respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted slgnage and mailed notices In
accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.
Site Characteristic: The subject property Is comprised of several lots that are currently located within a
small enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach County. If annexed, the property
would lie within Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan.
The survey shows the parcel is currently developed with one a (l)-story
commercial building, wood and chain-link fences, a concrete sign, and asphalt
parking areas. No ground elevations were shown on the survey. It should be
noted that a site inspection revealed that the building had been recently
demolished.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Wendy Tuma of Urban Design Studios, agent for Tuscan Villas at Boynton Beach,
LLC Is proposing a new site plan for 22 townhouse-style condominium units. As
previously mentioned, the parcel, if successfully annexed would be located within
Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan. The
Redevelopment Plan allows for higher residential densities within this area, above
the five (S) dwelling units per acre currently allowed by Palm Beach County CHIS
land use classification. Under the CHIS land use classification, the maximum
allowable project density would have resulted In a maximum of six (6) dwelling
units. However, In order to achieve a higher density, the developer Is requesting to
reclassify the land use from Palm Beach County CHIS to Special High Density
Resldentlal (SHDR) and to rezone from Palm Beach County Commercial General
(CG) to Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD). The SHDR land use c1asslficatlon
allows up to 20 dwelling units per acre, which would equate to a total of 26 units.
The project proposes 22 units, resultlng In a density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre.
Townhouses are permitted uses In the IPUD zoning district. The project would be
completed In one (1) phase.

ANALYSIS
A traffic study was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency
review In order to ensure an adequate level of service. The Palm Beach County
Traffic Division determined that the proposed redevelopment project is located
within the county designated "Coastal Residential Exception Area", and therefore,
meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building
permits are to be Issued after the 2010 build-out date (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions
of Approval). The County traffic concurrency approval Is subject to the Project
Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 mil/ion
gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water for this project (project estimated to require a total of
9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be
required, especially on the water delivery system for the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to
the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site
plan (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Police I Fire: Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual Information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review. All South Rorida Water Management District permits and other
drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit
"C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District of Palm Beach County confirms that adequate capadty exists to
accommodate the proposed 22 dwelling units. The project is located within
Concurrency Service Area (CSA) #19 and #20.
Driveways: The project proposes one (1) main point of Ingress I egress on Federal Highway.
The dvll drawing shows that the opening would be dimensioned 24 feet In width.
The egress lane would allow for right-turn (northbound) traffic movement onto
Federal Highway. No left-turn (southbound) traffic movement Is proposed on
Federal Highway due to the presence an existing landscaped median. The street
system Internal to the development Is generally proposed In a circuitous
configuration. The residents would access their garages via these drive aisles. The
site plan shows that all two (2)-way drive aisle lanes would be 22 feet in width,
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 4
which would conform to current engineering standards. Much of the underground
Infrastructure (I.e. potable water lines, sanitary sewer lines) would be placed
underneath the street network. In most areas of the site, the sidewalks are
proposed separately from the street system. However, a sidewalk Is proposed at
only one (1) side of the project's main entrance. It was purposely designed this
way In order allow for extra landscaping on the opposite side of the front entrance
drive. The sidewalk, proposed across the main entrance drive would be made of
brick pavers. Staff reviewed the internal pedestrian connections and found them to
be adequate because the project is small and compact. However, it should be
noted that the front entrance of the project was designed In such a way that It
would not be able to accommodate security gates, either now or In the future due
to the Insufficient space for vehicle stacking from Federal Highway (see Exhibit "Cft
- Conditions of Approval).
Parking Facility: Two (2) and three (3) bedroom dwelling units require two (2) parking spaces per
unit. The project proposes 22, three (3)-bedroom units and a small recreation
facility. Therefore, based upon the above referenced number of units and the
amenity, the project requires a total of 44 parking spaces. The site plan shows that
each unit would have a two (2)-car garage, which would thus equate to providing
44 parking spaces. The size of each unit would vary but generally, each garage
would be dimensioned 19 feet In width by 20 feet in depth. The plan also proposes
four (4) 90-degree parking spaces. According to the site plan, the 90-degree
parking stalls would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width by 18 feet - six (6)
inches in length. Combining the garage spaces and 90-degree spaces, the site plan
would provide for a total of 48 parking spaces or an excess of four (4) parking
spaces. It should be noted that one (1) of the 90-degree parking spaces shall be
converted to a handicap accessible space in order to meet. ADA disability
requirements; this cooversion would occur at the time of permitting.
Landscaping: The site plan tabular data Indicates that 0.28 acres or 21% of the site would be
pervious surface. The plant list (sheet 1 of 5) indicates the landscape plan would
prOVide a total of 31 canopy trees, all of which would be native. The plant list
indicates that 49 or 70% of the palm trees would be native. Also, the landscape
plan would contain 2,303 shrubs / groundcover plants, of which 1,201 (52.1%)
would be native. The tree species would Indude the following: Uve Oak, East
Palatka Holly, Tree Ugustrumi Purple Glory Tree, Alexander palm, Cabbbage palm,
and Green Coconut Malayan palm. The dwelling units are proposed as townhouse-
style condominium units and staff understands that the lands remaining outside the
building footprint would be under the control of the Homeowner's Association.
Staff favors common ownership of landscaped areas because they are more likely
to be maintained properly with less likelihood of Individual unit owners removing
trees within the buffer areas. With regards to aesthetics, the applicant agrees to
Install Redtlp Cocoplum hedges around utility boxes and structures that are not
currently known or shown on the plan at this time. The colored renderings of the
West (view from Federal Highway) and East (view from east) elevations Illustrate
how the landscaping would soften the appearance of the townhouse buildings.
The landscape plan shows that the western landscape buffer (adjacent to Federal
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 5
Highway) would be at least seven (7) feet wide at Its narrowest point. The
landscape plan shows that this buffer would consist of East Palatka Holly, Green
Malayan Coconut palm, Gold Mound Duranta, Dwarf Indian Hawthorne, and a row
of Redtlp Cocoplum hedges. It appears that most of the trees would be Installed at
a spacing of one (1) tree per 22 feet. Each townhouse unit proposed along Federal
Highway would have a sidewalk that directly links to the sidewalk on Federal
Highway. A small courtyard Is proposed In front of each along Federal Highway. It
would be enclosed with a four (4)-foot high black picket fence.
The site plan shows that the south landscape buffer (adjacent to the supervised
construction service trailers) would be at minimum, five (5) feet in width at Its
narrowest point. The landscape plan proposes the following plant material: LIve
Oak, East Palatka Holly, Cabbage Palm trees, Spanish Stopper, Silver Buttonwood
and Redtlp Cocoplum hedges.
The site plan shows that the north landscape buffer (adjacent to Gulfstream
Carpet) would be five (5) feet In width at Its narrowest point. The landscape plan
proposes the following plant material: East Palatka Holly, Cabbage palm, Gold
Mount Duranta, Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Xanadu Philodendron, Wax Jasmine,
and a row of Spanish Stopper.
The site plan shows that the east landscape buffer (adjacent to the single-family
residential neighborhood) would be 10 feet wide at its narrowest point. It would
contain the following plant material: LIve Oak, Cabbage palm, East Palatka Holly,
Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Silver Buttonwood, and Redtip Cocoplum hedges. A six
(6) foot high wall is proposed a few feet from the east property line; its location
would allow for hedges to grow on both sides. The wall would provide for a lower-
level buffer while the trees planted nearby would provide for an upper-level buffer.
A sidewalk is proposed just east of the southeastern building and encroaches into
the east landscape buffer. Staff recommends relocating this sidewalk slightly to the
west In order to increase the width of the planting area within the landscape buffer
(see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
Building and Site: As previously mentioned, the applicant Is requesting to rezone the property to the
IPUD zoning district at a project density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre. The
maximum density allowed by the Special High Density Residential land use
classification Is 20 dwelling units per acre. The project's 22 dwelling units are
proposed within five (5) separate buildings, namely Buildings "A" through "E".
Each building would contain a varying number of dwelling units, ranging from three
(3) units to six (6) units. The floor plans show the proposed size and configuration
of each unit The project proposes four (4) model types, ranging from 1,947
square feet 2,513 square feet of "air-conditioned" space. No Individual swimming
pools or screened enclosures are proposed or shown on the plans. Staff
recommends that their omission should be noted as such within the Home Owners
Association documents. LIkewise, the developer does not Intend to saeen-In the
balconies (see exhibit "e" - Conditions of Approval).

Memorandum No PZ 06-035

The IPUD zoning district allows buildings to reach a maximum height of 45 feet.
However, a lesser building height could be Imposed If compatibility with the
adjacent properties would be In jeopardy. The code defines building height as
follows: The vertical distance In feet measured from the lowest point at the
property line of an adjacent property or from the minimum base flood elevation as
established by FEMA, whichever Is highest, to the highest point of the roof for flat
roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs and parapet roofs with parapets less than
five (5) feet In height. Gable and hip roof heights shall be measured to the
midpoint between the eaves and the ridge. Despite the site plan tabular data
Indicating 40 feet In height, the elevations show the buildings would be 34 feet-
six (6) inches In height, measured at the mid-point of the pitched roof. All
buildings would comply with the height limitation of the IPUD zoning district. At
the time of permitting, the site plan tabular data shall be revised to Indicate the
correct building height (see exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). It should be
noted that the peak of the roof would be 39 feet - five (5) inches. However, as
previously mentioned the abutting properties to the east are zoned Palm Beach
County RS and developed with one (1)-story, single-family detached homes. The
County RS zoning district allows a maximum building height of up to 35 feet (at
mid-point of roof). As previously mentioned, it was the developer's intent to
construct three (3)-story buildings along the east property line but staff warned
that the proposed building height would be a critical design element to consider
when requesting to rezone to the IPUD zoning district. Staff suggested that the
applicant reduce the building height of those buildings proposed adjacent to the
single-family homes, from three (3) stories to two (2) stories. In heeding staff's
suggestions, the plans were modified so that the buildings, originally proposed
along the east property line, were substituted with a drive aisle that is currently
shown along much of the east side of the site. This substitution was done to
maximize the setbacks between buildings on the subject property from homes on
the adjacent single-family lots. In addition, the easternmost portion of each
townhouse building (adjacent to the single-family homes) are proposed at two (2)-
stories rather than three (3)-stories. The elevations show that the mid-point of the
two (2)-story portion would be approximately 24 feet in height Staff opines that
the current configuration of the buildings represent a sufficient compromise to
improve compatibility between the subject property and the abutting properties to
the east to mitigate the height discrepancy. Staff also feels that decreasing the
height of the east fa~ade of these buildings would proVide an equitable transition
between the maximum height of 35 feet allowed in the adjacent single-family
neighborhood and the 45-foot height allowed in the IPUD district.
The IPUD zoning district contains no specific minimum building setback
requirements other than mirroring the setbacks of adjacent zoning districts.
However, a structure on the perimeter of an IPUD project that Is adjacent to an
existing Single-family neighborhood must adhere to additional setback
requirements. The IPUD regulations require an additional one (1) foot building
setback for each one (1) foot In building height that exceeds 30 feet. In this case,
the proposed height of the condominium building would be slightly more than 34
feet tall. Therefore, this would equate to an additional required setback of four (4)
feet (In conjunction with mirroring the setback of the abuttfng properties). The
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 7
properties to the east are located In an enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach
County, zoned County RS, and directly abut the subject site. These lots have been
developed with single-family detached homes. The IPUD zoning regulations
specifically addresses compatibility requirements with these types of developments.
The rear setback of the County RS zoning district Is 15 feet; so therefore, the
project should have a rear building setback comparable to 15 feet. However, It
should be noted that the city may grant some relief from the required setbacks
provided that screening or other barriers are provided along the perimeter. Along
the east property line, the site plan proposes a building setback that ranges
between a minimum of 11.7 feet to a maximum of 35.2 feet. As previously
mentioned, a buffer wallis proposed along the east property line In conjunction
with a multitude of trees and shrubs that would provide the necessary buffering
between the townhouses and the Single-family neighborhood. Ukewlse, the
easternmost portion of each townhouse building (adjacent to the single-family
homes) are proposed at two (2)-stories rather than three (3)-storles. The
developer provided a cross-section drawing, labeled "Section A-A", which shows a
townhouse building and how it compares with the adjacent Single-family detached
homes. The detail Indicates the existing / proposed setbacks, building heights, and
landscape material.
The property to the north of the subject property Is zoned County CG and has been
developed with a commercial use (Gulfstream Carpet). The County CG zoning
district requires a 1S-foot side setback. The proposed townhouse buildings would
be setback 10.3 feet from the north property line. This difference in building
setbacks between the subject project and the commercial property to the north is
consistent with other residential infill projects reviewed by the City.
Similarly, the property to the south is also zoned County CG. The townhouse
buildings would be setback between five (5) feet and nine (9) feet. Uke the north
setback against commercial zoning, the reduced building setback from the south
property line is consistent with other approved projects. For this new site plan, all
proposed building setbacks are consistent with the existing setbacks within the
surrounding neighborhoods and meet the intent of the IPUD zoning disbict setback
regulations.
Design:
The main recreation area would be located at the center of the site, centrally
located to all residents. It would include a swimming pool, cabana building,
decorative water fountain, and bicycle racks. The recreation area Is proposed large
enough to meet the IPUD's special requirement for usable open space. The
elevations do not Indicate the actual roof height of the cabana building, but depicts
It as a one (1)-story structure. When scaled, It appears to be approximately 13
feet - six (6) Inches In height. The photometric plan demonstrates that lighting
levels at the recreation area would be adequate and not "spill" over onto adjacent
properties.
The proposed buildings and clubhouse resemble a modem SpanIsh-Mediterranean
design with textured stucco finish, tile Inserts, simulated stone band and sills, cast
stone baluster and panels, rounded-windows, wood-panel front doors, dear glass

with bronze finish aluminum frames, and S-tile roof. The project proposes multi-
colored buildings consisting of the following Porter paints and color schemes:
Color code Paint Name Color Location
Scheme # 1
#6805-1 Pale Honey Light tan Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
#6808-2 Dusty Airoort Dark tan Main wall
Scheme #2
#6115-2 Pale Coral Light peach Main Wall
#6118-3 Sun Coral Peach Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
Scheme #3
#6169-2 Bud White Light yellow Main wall
#6172-4 Sun Amber Yellow Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
The elevations of the cabana building show that it would have the same roof style,
exterior finish, and paint colors as that of the townhouse buildings. The developer
provided staff with an illustration of the proposed outdoor freestanding lighting
fixture that would be used throughout the recreation area. The Pole Detail
indicates it would be a Sky Cast decorative pole, 15 feet in height and made of
concrete. No pole color was indicated on the illustration. Similar to other recently
approved townhouse projects, the buildings proposed along Federal Highway would
have their front doors oriented towards the street. Staff endorses this design
characteristic of how Building "A" and Building "B" engage the main street while
Building "e" and Building "0" are oriented towards the pool area.
Signage:
The project proposes a subdivision identification sign, located on the front fa~ade
of the recreation building, visible to motorists when entering the site. The Entry
Sign elevation (sheet AS.!) shows that "The Villas at Boynton Beach" sign would be
externally lit and made of aluminum pin letters of brushed gold color. The letters
would be centered between two (2) cast stone accent features.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for new site plan approval and Is recommending approval, contingent upon
the successful request for annexation (ANEX 06-002), land use amendment / rezoning (LUAR 06-003), and
subject to satisfying all comments Indicated In Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional
conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly In the
Conditions of Approval.

1. At the time of permitting, add stop bares), stop sign(s), and double yellow X
lane separators on the north and south side of the main entrance into the
development (on the internal road)
2. Insufficient space is provided to allow gating of the community, now or in the X
future.
3. Add a handicap space adjacent to the pool area. X
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Comments:
4. Lighting is only required for public parking. The street lighting is not X
required, just recommended.
5. Sight triangle clearance two (2) feet - six (6) inches to eight (8) feet X
clearance. The sight triangles need to be shown on the landscape plans at the
time of permitting - use FDOT standards.
UTILITIES
Comments:
6. The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 X
million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities,
would meet the projected potable water for this project (project estimated to
require a total of 9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure
improvements may be required, especially on the water delivery system for
the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to the applicant
making a firm reservation of capacity, followin2 approval of the site plan.

7. At the time of permitting, all utility easements shall be shown on the rectified X
site plan and landscaping drawings so that staff can 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. LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I, Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements
or public rights-of-wav.
8. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water X
and sewer systems servimr this Droiect (CODE Sec. 26-12).
9. At the time of permitting, fire flow calculations will be required X
demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on
certain residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in
LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE Sec. 26-l6(b)). A single 6-
inch (assumed) stub line connection does not yield this requirement.
Consider looping a new 8-inch water main back into the existing 8-inch in
Federal Highway, with routing along side of Unit #16 (or ideally in the
replacement of Unit #16).
10. CODE Sec. 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this X
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. The new time line requires payment within seven
(7) days.
11. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable X
water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other
sources are readily available. As the project is close to the Intracoastal, if
brackish water is encountered, then city water may be approved for landscape
irrigation.
12. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included X
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). Insufficient information has been provided regarding manhole
depth to determine final sanitary sewer utility easement widths. Sanitary
easements are assumed to be twice the depth of the manhole (deeper) depth.
A 10-foot separation is required between water and sewer in shared
easements. The minimum easement width is 12 feet. An administrative
waiver will be required for variations to the separation widths.

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject site plan 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.
Site Characteristic: The subject property is comprised of several lots that are currently located within a
small enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach County. If annexed, the property
would lie within Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan.
The survey shows the parcel is currently developed with one a (i)-story
commercial building, wood and chain-link fences, a concrete sign, and asphalt
parking areas. No ground elevations were shown on the survey. It should be
noted that a site inspection revealed that the building had been recently
demolished.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Wendy Tuma of Urban Design Studios, agent for Tuscan Villas at Boynton Beach,
LLC is proposing a new site plan for 22 townhouse-style condominium units. As
previously mentioned, the parcel, if successfully annexed would be located within
Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan. The
Redevelopment Plan allows for higher residential densities within this area, above
the five (S) dwelling units per acre currently allowed by Palm Beach County CHIS
land use classification. Under the CHIS land use classification, the maximum
allowable project density would have resulted in a maximum of six (6) dwelling
units. However, in order to achieve a higher density, the developer is requesting to
reclassify the land use from Palm Beach County CHIS to Special High Density
Residential (SHDR) and to rezone from Palm Beach County Commercial General
(CG) to Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD). The SHDR land use classification
allows up to 20 dwelling units per acre, which would equate to a total of 26 units.
The project proposes 22 units, resulting in a density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre.
Townhouses are permitted uses in the IPUD zoning district. The project would be
completed in one (1) phase.

ANALYSIS
A traffic study was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency
review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. The Palm Beach County
Traffic Division determined that the proposed redevelopment project is located
within the county designated "Coastal Residential Exception Arealf, and therefore,
meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building
permits are to be issued after the 2010 build-out date (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions
of Approval). The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project
Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million
gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water for this project (project estimated to require a total of
9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be
required, especially on the water delivery system for the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to
the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site
plan (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval).
Police I Fire: Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other
drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit
"CIf - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District of Palm Beach County confirms that adequate capacity exists to
accommodate the proposed 22 dwelling units. The project is located within
Concurrency Service Area (CSA) #19 and #20.
Driveways: The project proposes one (1) main point of ingress / egress on Federal Highway.
The civil drawing shows that the opening would be dimensioned 24 feet in width.
The egress lane would allow for right-turn (northbound) traffic movement onto
Federal Highway. No left-turn (southbound) traffic movement is proposed on
Federal Highway due to the presence an existing landscaped median. The street
system internal to the development is generally proposed in a circuitous
configuration. The residents would access their garages via these drive aisles. The
site plan shows that all two (2)-way drive aisle lanes would be 22 feet in width,
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035

which would conform to current engineering standards. Much of the underground
infrastructure (Le. potable water lines, sanitary sewer lines) would be placed
underneath the street network. In most areas of the site, the sidewalks are
proposed separately from the street system. However, a sidewalk is proposed at
only one (1) side of the project's main entrance. It was purposely designed this
way in order allow for extra landscaping on the opposite side of the front entrance
drive. The sidewalk, proposed across the main entrance drive would be made of
brick pavers. Staff reviewed the internal pedestrian connections and found them to
be adequate because the project is small and compact. However, it should be
noted that the front entrance of the project was designed in such a way that it
would not be able to accommodate security gates, either now or in the future due
to the insufficient space for vehicle stacking from Federal Highway (see Exhibit "C"
- Conditions of Approval).
Parking Facility: Two (2) and three (3) bedroom dwelling units require two (2) parking spaces per
unit. The project proposes 22, three (3)-bedroom units and a small recreation
facility. Therefore, based upon the above referenced number of units and the
amenity, the project requires a total of 44 parking spaces. The site plan shows that
each unit would have a two (2)-car garage, which would thus equate to providing
44 parking spaces. The size of each unit would vary but generally, each garage
would be dimensioned 19 feet in width by 20 feet in depth. The plan also proposes
four (4) gO-degree parking spaces. According to the site plan, the gO-degree
parking stalls would be dimensioned nine (g) feet in width by 18 feet - six (6)
inches in length. Combining the garage spaces and gO-degree spaces, the site plan
would provide for a total of 48 parking spaces or an excess of four (4) parking
spaces. It should be noted that one (1) of the gO-degree parking spaces shall be
converted to a handicap accessible space in order to meet ADA disability
requirements; this cO(1version would occur at the time of permitting.
Landscaping: The site plan tabular data indicates that 0.28 acres or 21 % of the site would be
pervious surface. The plant list (sheet 1 of 5) indicates the landscape plan would
provide a total of 31 canopy trees, all of which would be native. The plant list
indicates that 49 or 70% of the palm trees would be native. Also, the landscape
plan would contain 2,303 shrubs / groundcover plants, of which 1,201 (52.1%)
would be native. The tree species would include the following: Live Oak, East
Palatka Holly, Tree Ligustrum, Purple Glory Tree, Alexander palm, Cabbbage palm,
and Green Coconut Malayan palm. The dwelling units are proposed as townhouse-
style condominium units and staff understands that the lands remaining outside the
building footprint would be under the control of the Homeowner's Association.
Staff favors common ownership of landscaped areas because they are more likely
to be maintained properly with less likelihood of individual unit owners removing
trees within the buffer areas. With regards to aesthetics, the applicant agrees to
install Redtip Cocoplum hedges around utility boxes and structures that are not
currently known or shown on the plan at this time. The colored renderings of the
West (view from Federal Highway) and East (view from east) elevations illustrate
how the landscaping would soften the appearance of the townhouse buildings.
The landscape plan shows that the western landscape buffer (adjacent to Federal
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 5
Highway) would be at least seven (7) feet wide at its narrowest point. The
landscape plan shows that this buffer would consist of East Palatka Holly, Green
Malayan Coconut palm, Gold Mound Duranta, Dwarf Indian Hawthorne, and a row
of Redtip Cocoplum hedges. It appears that most of the trees would be installed at
a spacing of one (1) tree per 22 feet. Each townhouse unit proposed along Federal
Highway would have a sidewalk that directly links to the sidewalk on Federal
Highway. A small courtyard is proposed in front of each along Federal Highway. It
would be enclosed with a four (4)-foot high black picket fence.
The site plan shows that the south landscape buffer (adjacent to the supervised
construction service trailers) would be at minimum, five (5) feet in width at its
narrowest point. The landscape plan proposes the following plant material: Live
Oak, East Palatka Holly, Cabbage Palm trees, Spanish Stopper, Silver Buttonwood
and Redtip Cocoplum hedges.
The site plan shows that the north landscape buffer (adjacent to Gulfstream
Carpet) would be five (5) feet in width at its narrowest point. The landscape plan
proposes the following plant material: East Palatka Holly, Cabbage palm, Gold
Mount Duranta, Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Xanadu Philodendron, Wax Jasmine,
and a row of Spanish Stopper.
The site plan shows that the east landscape buffer (adjacent to the single-family
residential neighborhood) would be 10 feet wide at its narrowest point. It would
contain the following plant material: Live Oak, Cabbage palm, East Palatka Holly,
Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Silver Buttonwood, and Redtip Cocoplum hedges. A six
(6) foot high wall is proposed a few feet from the east property line; its location
would allow for hedges to grow on both sides. The wall would provide for a lower-
level buffer while the trees planted nearby would provide for an upper-level buffer,
A sidewalk is proposed just east of the southeastern building and encroaches into
the east landscape buffer. Staff recommends relocating this sidewalk slightly to the
west in order to increase the width of the planting area within the landscape buffer
(see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Building and Site: As previously mentioned, the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the
IPUD zoning district at a project density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre. The
maximum density allowed by the Special High Density Residential land use
classification is 20 dwelling units per acre. The project's 22 dwelling units are
proposed within five (5) separate buildings, namely Buildings "A" through "Eff,
Each building would contain a varying number of dwelling units, ranging from three
(3) units to six (6) units. The floor plans show the proposed size and configuration
of each unit. The project proposes four (4) model types, ranging from 1,947
square feet 2,513 square feet of "air-conditioned" space. No individual swimming
pools or screened enclosures are proposed or shown on the plans. Staff
recommends that their omission should be noted as such within the Home Owners
Association documents. Likewise, the developer does not intend to screen-in the
balconies (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 6
The IPUD zoning district allows buildings to reach a maximum height of 45 feet.
However, a lesser building height could be imposed if compatibility with the
adjacent properties would be in jeopardy. The code defines building height as
follows: The vertical distance in feet measured from the lowest point at the
property line of an adjacent property or from the minimum base flood elevation as
established by FEMA, whichever is highest, to the highest point of the roof for flat
roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs and parapet roofs with parapets less than
five (5) feet in height. Gable and hip roof heights shall be measured to the
midpoint between the eaves and the ridge. Despite the site plan tabular data
indicating 40 feet in height, the elevations show the buildings would be 34 feet -
six (6) inches in height, measured at the mid-point of the pitched roof. All
buildings would comply with the height limitation of the IPUD zoning district. At
the time of permitting, the site plan tabular data shall be revised to indicate the
correct building height (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). It should be
noted that the peak of the roof would be 39 feet - five (5) inches. However, as
previously mentioned the abutting properties to the east are zoned Palm Beach
County RS and developed with one (l)-story, single-family detached homes. The
County RS zoning district allows a maximum building height of up to 35 feet (at
mid-point of roof). As previously mentioned, it was the developer's intent to
construct three (3)-story buildings along the east property line but staff warned
that the proposed building height would be a critical design element to consider
when requesting to rezone to the IPUD zoning district. Staff suggested that the
applicant reduce the building height of those buildings proposed adjacent to the
single-family homes, from three (3) stories to two (2) stories. In heeding staff's
suggestions, the plans were modified so that the buildings, originally proposed
along the east property line, were substituted with a drive aisle that is currently
shown along much of the east side of the site. This substitution was done to
maximize the setbacks between buildings on the subject property from homes on
the adjacent single-family lots. In addition, the easternmost portion of each
townhouse building (adjacent to the single-family homes) are proposed at two (2)-
stories rather than three (3)-stories. The elevations show that the mid-point of the
two (2)-story portion would be approximately 24 feet in height. Staff opines that
the current configuration of the buildings represent a sufficient compromise to
improve compatibility between the subject property and the abutting properties to
the east to mitigate the height discrepancy. Staff also feels that decreasing the
height of the east fa<;ade of these bUildings would proVide an equitable transition
between the maximum height of 35 feet allowed in the adjacent single-family
neighborhood and the 45-foot height allowed in the IPUD district.
The IPUD zoning district contains no specific minimum building setback
requirements other than mirroring the setbacks of adjacent zoning districts.
However, a structure on the perimeter of an IPUD project that is adjacent to an
existing Single-family neighborhood must adhere to additional setback
requirements. The IPUD regulations require an additional one (1) foot building
setback for each one (1) foot in building height that exceeds 30 feet. In this case,
the proposed height of the condominium building would be slightly more than 34
feet tall. Therefore, this would equate to an additional required setback of four (4)
feet (in conjunction with mirroring the setback of the abutting properties). The
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 7
properties to the east are located in an enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach
County, zoned County RS, and directly abut the subject site. These lots have been
developed with single-family detached homes. The IPUD zoning regulations
specifically addresses compatibility requirements with these types of developments.
The rear setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet; so therefore, the
project should have a rear building setback comparable to 15 feet. However, it
should be noted that the city may grant some relief from the required setbacks
provided that screening or other barriers are provided along the perimeter. Along
the east property line, the site plan proposes a building setback that ranges
between a minimum of 11.7 feet to a maximum of 35.2 feet. As previously
mentioned, a buffer wall is proposed along the east property line in conjunction
with a multitude of trees and shrubs that would provide the necessary buffering
between the townhouses and the single-family neighborhood. Likewise, the
easternmost portion of each townhouse building (adjacent to the Single-family
homes) are proposed at two (2)-stories rather than three (3)-stories. The
developer provided a cross-section drawing, labeled "Section A-A", which shows a
townhouse building and how it compares with the adjacent single-family detached
homes. The detail indicates the existing / proposed setbacks, building heights, and
landscape material.
The property to the north of the subject property is zoned County CG and has been
developed with a commercial use (Gulfstream Carpet). The County CG zoning
district requires a 15-foot side setback. The proposed townhouse buildings would
be setback 10.3 feet from the north property line. This difference in building
setbacks between the subject project and the commercial property to the north is
consistent with other residential infill projects reviewed by the City.
Similarly, the property to the south is also zoned County CG. The townhouse
buildings would be setback between five (5) feet and nine (9) feet. Like the north
setback against commercial zoning, the reduced building setback from the south
property line is consistent with other approved projects. For this new site plan, all
proposed building setbacks are consistent with the existing setbacks within the
surrounding neighborhoods and meet the intent of the IPUD zoning district setback
regulations.
The main recreation area would be located at the center of the site, centrally
located to all residents. It would include a swimming pool, cabana building,
decorative water fountain, and bicycle racks. The recreation area is proposed large
enough to meet the IPUD's special requirement for usable open space. The
elevations do not indicate the actual roof height of the cabana building, but depicts
it as a one (1)-story structure. When scaled, it appears to be approximately 13
feet - six (6) inches in height. The photometric plan demonstrates that lighting
levels at the recreation area would be adequate and not "spill" over onto adjacent
properties.
Design:
The proposed buildings and clubhouse resemble a modern Spanish-Mediterranean
design with textured stucco finish, tile inserts, simulated stone band and sills, cast
stone baluster and panels, rounded-windows, wood-panel front doors, clear glass
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035

with bronze finish aluminum frames, and S-tile roof. The project proposes multi-
colored buildings consisting of the following Porter paints and color schemes:
Color code Paint Name Color Location
Scheme # 1
#6805-1 Pale Honey Light tan Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
#6808-2 Dusty Airoort Dark tan Main wall
Scheme #2
#6115-2 Pale Coral Light peach Main Wall
#6118-3 Sun Coral Peach Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
Scheme #3
#6169-2 Bud White Light yellow Main wall
#6172-4 Sun Amber Yellow Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
The elevations of the cabana building show that it would have the same roof style,
exterior finish, and paint colors as that of the townhouse buildings. The developer
provided staff with an illustration of the proposed outdoor freestanding lighting
fixture that would be used throughout the recreation area. The Pole Detail
indicates it would be a Sky Cast decorative pole, 15 feet in height and made of
concrete. No pole color was indicated on the illustration. Similar to other recently
approved townhouse projects, the buildings proposed along Federal Highway would
have their front doors oriented towards the street. Staff endorses this design
characteristic of how Building "Alf and Building "Blf engage the main street while
Building "Clf and Building "Dlf are oriented towards the pool area.
Signage:
The project proposes a subdivision identification sign, located on the front fa<;ade
of the recreation building, visible to motorists when entering the site. The Entry
Sign elevation (sheet As.1) shows that "The Villas at Boynton Beachlf sign would be
externally lit and made of aluminum pin letters of brushed gold color. The letters
would be centered between two (2) cast stone accent features.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for new site plan approval and is recommending approval, contingent upon
the successful request for annexation (ANEX 06-002), land use amendment/ rezoning (LUAR 06-003), and
subject to satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "Clf - Conditions of Approval. Any additional
conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly In the
Conditions of Approval.

6. The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 X
million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities,
would meet the projected potable water for this project (project estimated to
require a total of 9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure
improvements may be required, especially on the water delivery system for
the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to the applicant
making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan.

7. At the time of permitting, all utility easements shall be shown on the rectified X
site plan and landscaping drawings so that staff can 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. LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I, Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements
or public rights-of-way.
8. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water X
and sewer systems serving this proiect (CODE Sec. 26-12).
9. At the time of permitting, fire flow calculations will be required X
demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on
certain residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in
LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE Sec. 26-l6(b)). A single 6-
inch (assumed) stub line connection does not yield this requirement.
Consider looping a new 8-inch water main back into the existing 8-inch in
Federal Highway, with routing along side of Unit #16 (or ideally in the
replacement of Unit #16).
10. CODE Sec. 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this X
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. The new time line requires payment within seven
(7) days.
11. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable X
water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other
sources are readily available. As the project is close to the Intracoastal, if
brackish water is encountered, then city water may be approved for landscape
irrigation.
12. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included X
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). Insufficient information has been provided regarding manhole
depth to determine final sanitary sewer utility easement widths. Sanitary
easements are assumed to be twice the depth of the manhole (deeper) depth.
A 10-foot separation is required between water and sewer in shared
easements. The minimum easement width is 12 feet. An administrative
waiver will be required for variations to the separation widths.

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject site plan 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.
Site Characteristic: The subject property is comprised of several lots that are currently located within a
small enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach County. If annexed, the property
would lie within Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan.
The survey shows the parcel is currently developed with one a (i)-story
commercial building, wood and chain-link fences, a concrete sign, and asphalt
parking areas. No ground elevations were shown on the survey. It should be
noted that a site inspection revealed that the building had been recently
demolished.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Wendy Tuma of Urban Design Studios, agent for Tuscan Villas at Boynton Beach,
LLC is proposing a new site plan for 22 townhouse-style condominium units. As
previously mentioned, the parcel, if successfully annexed would be located within
Study Area V of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan. The
Redevelopment Plan allows for higher residential densities within this area, above
the five (S) dwelling units per acre currently allowed by Palm Beach County CHIS
land use classification. Under the CHIS land use classification, the maximum
allowable project density would have resulted in a maximum of six (6) dwelling
units. However, in order to achieve a higher density, the developer is requesting to
reclassify the land use from Palm Beach County CHIS to Special High Density
Residential (SHDR) and to rezone from Palm Beach County Commercial General
(CG) to Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD). The SHDR land use classification
allows up to 20 dwelling units per acre, which would equate to a total of 26 units.
The project proposes 22 units, resulting in a density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre.
Townhouses are permitted uses in the IPUD zoning district. The project would be
completed in one (1) phase.

ANALYSIS
A traffic study was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency
review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. The Palm Beach County
Traffic Division determined that the proposed redevelopment project is located
within the county designated "Coastal Residential Exception Area", and therefore,
meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building
permits are to be issued after the 2010 build-out date (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions
of Approval). The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project
Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million
gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water for this project (project estimated to require a total of
9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be
required, especially on the water delivery system for the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to
the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site
plan (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Police I Fire: Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was proVided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other
drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit
"C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District of Palm Beach County confirms that adequate capacity exists to
accommodate the proposed 22 dwelling units. The project is located within
Concurrency Service Area (CSA) #19 and #20.
Driveways: The project proposes one (1) main point of ingress / egress on Federal Highway.
The civil drawing shows that the opening would be dimensioned 24 feet in width.
The egress lane would allow for right-turn (northbound) traffic movement onto
Federal Highway. No left-turn (southbound) traffic movement is proposed on
Federal Highway due to the presence an existing landscaped median. The street
system internal to the development is generally proposed in a circuitous
configuration. The residents would access their garages via these drive aisles. The
site plan shows that all two (2)-way drive aisle lanes would be 22 feet in width,
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 4
which would conform to current engineering standards. Much of the underground
infrastructure (i.e. potable water lines, sanitary sewer lines) would be placed
underneath the street network. In most areas of the site, the sidewalks are
proposed separately from the street system. However, a sidewalk is proposed at
only one (1) side of the project's main entrance. It was purposely designed this
way in order allow for extra landscaping on the opposite side of the front entrance
drive. The sidewalk, proposed across the main entrance drive would be made of
brick pavers. Staff reviewed the internal pedestrian connections and found them to
be adequate because the project is small and compact. However, it should be
noted that the front entrance of the project was designed in such a way that it
would not be able to accommodate security gates, either now or in the future due
to the insufficient space for vehicle stacking from Federal Highway (see Exhibit "C"
- Conditions of Approval).
Parking Facility: Two (2) and three (3) bedroom dwelling units require two (2) parking spaces per
unit. The project proposes 22, three (3)-bedroom units and a small recreation
facility. Therefore, based upon the above referenced number of units and the
amenity, the project requires a total of 44 parking spaces. The site plan shows that
each unit would have a two (2)-car garage, which would thus equate to providing
44 parking spaces. The size of each unit would vary but generally, each garage
would be dimensioned 19 feet in width by 20 feet in depth. The plan also proposes
four (4) 90-degree parking spaces. According to the site plan, the 90-degree
parking stalls would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width by 18 feet - six (6)
inches in length. Combining the garage spaces and 90-degree spaces, the site plan
would provide for a total of 48 parking spaces or an excess of four (4) parking
spaces. It should be noted that one (1) of the 90-degree parking spaces shall be
converted to a handicap accessible space in order to meet ADA disability
requirements; this conversion would occur at the time of permitting.
Landscaping: The site plan tabular data indicates that 0.28 acres or 21 % of the site would be
pervious surface. The plant list (sheet 1 of 5) indicates the landscape plan would
provide a total of 31 canopy trees, all of which would be native. The plant list
indicates that 49 or 70% of the palm trees would be native. Also, the landscape
plan would contain 2,303 shrubs / groundcover plants, of which 1,201 (52.1%)
would be native. The tree species would include the following: Live Oak, East
Palatka Holly, Tree Ligustrum, Purple Glory Tree, Alexander palm, Cabbbage palm,
and Green Coconut Malayan palm. The dwelling units are proposed as townhouse-
style condominium units and staff understands that the lands remaining outside the
building footprint would be under the control of the Homeowner's Association.
Staff favors common ownership of landscaped areas because they are more likely
to be maintained properly with less likelihood of individual unit owners removing
trees within the buffer areas. With regards to aesthetics, the applicant agrees to
install Redtip Cocoplum hedges around utility boxes and structures that are not
currently known or shown on the plan at this time. The colored renderings of the
West (view from Federal Highway) and East (view from east) elevations illustrate
how the landscaping would soften the appearance of the townhouse buildings.
The landscape plan shows that the western landscape buffer (adjacent to Federal
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 5
Highway) would be at least seven (7) feet wide at its narrowest point. The
landscape plan shows that this buffer would consist of East Palatka Holly, Green
Malayan Coconut palm, Gold Mound Duranta, Dwarf Indian Hawthorne, and a row
of Redtip Cocoplum hedges. It appears that most of the trees would be installed at
a spacing of one (1) tree per 22 feet. Each townhouse unit proposed along Federal
Highway would have a sidewalk that directly links to the sidewalk on Federal
Highway. A small courtyard is proposed in front of each along Federal Highway. It
would be enclosed with a four (4)-foot high black picket fence.
The site plan shows that the south landscape buffer (adjacent to the supervised
construction service trailers) would be at minimum, five (5) feet in width at its
narrowest point. The landscape plan proposes the following plant material: Live
Oak, East Palatka Holly, Cabbage Palm trees, Spanish Stopper, Silver Buttonwood
and Redtip Cocoplum hedges.
The site plan shows that the north landscape buffer (adjacent to Gulfstream
Carpet) would be five (5) feet in width at its narrowest point. The landscape plan
proposes the following plant material: East Palatka Holly, Cabbage palm, Gold
Mount Duranta, Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Xanadu Philodendron, Wax Jasmine,
and a row of Spanish Stopper.
The site plan shows that the east landscape buffer (adjacent to the single-family
residential neighborhood) would be 10 feet wide at its narrowest point. It would
contain the following plant material: Live Oak, Cabbage palm, East Palatka Holly,
Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, Silver Buttonwood, and Redtip Cocoplum hedges. A six
(6) foot high wall is proposed a few feet from the east property line; its location
would allow for hedges to grow on both sides. The wall would provide for a lower-
level buffer while the trees planted nearby would provide for an upper-level buffer.
A sidewalk is proposed just east of the southeastern building and encroaches into
the east landscape buffer. Staff recommends relocating this sidewalk slightly to the
west in order to increase the width of the planting area within the landscape buffer
(see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Building and Site: As previously mentioned, the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the
IPUD zoning district at a project density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre. The
maximum density allowed by the Special High Density Residential land use
classification is 20 dwelling units per acre. The project's 22 dwelling units are
proposed within five (5) separate buildings, namely Buildings "A" through "E".
Each building would contain a varying number of dwelling units, ranging from three
(3) units to six (6) units. The floor plans show the proposed size and configuration
of each unit. The project proposes four (4) model types, ranging from 1,947
square feet 2,513 square feet of "air-conditioned" space. No individual swimming
pools or screened enclosures are proposed or shown on the plans. Staff
recommends that their omission should be noted as such within the Home Owners
Association documents. Likewise, the developer does not intend to screen-in the
balconies (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 6
The IPUD zoning district allows buildings to reach a maximum height of 45 feet.
However, a lesser building height could be imposed if compatibility with the
adjacent properties would be in jeopardy. The code defines building height as
follows: The vertical distance in feet measured from the lowest point at the
property line of an adjacent property or from the minimum base flood elevation as
established by FEMA, whichever is highest, to the highest point of the roof for flat
roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs and parapet roofs with parapets less than
five (5) feet in height. Gable and hip roof heights shall be measured to the
midpoint between the eaves and the ridge. Despite the site plan tabular data
indicating 40 feet in height, the elevations show the buildings would be 34 feet -
six (6) inches in height, measured at the mid-point of the pitched roof. All
buildings would comply with the height limitation of the IPUD zoning district. At
the time of permitting, the site plan tabular data shall be revised to indicate the
correct building height (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval). It should be
noted that the peak of the roof would be 39 feet - five (5) inches. However, as
previously mentioned the abutting properties to the east are zoned Palm Beach
County RS and developed with one (l)-story, single-family detached homes. The
County RS zoning district allows a maximum building height of up to 35 feet (at
mid-point of roof). As previously mentioned, it was the developer's intent to
construct three (3)-story buildings along the east property line but staff warned
that the proposed building height would be a critical design element to consider
when requesting to rezone to the IPUD zoning district. Staff suggested that the
applicant reduce the building height of those buildings proposed adjacent to the
single-family homes, from three (3) stories to two (2) stories. In heeding staff's
suggestions, the plans were modified so that the buildings, originally proposed
along the east property line, were substituted with a drive aisle that is currently
shown along much of the east side of the site. This substitution was done to
maximize the setbacks between buildings on the subject property from homes on
the adjacent single-family lots. In addition, the easternmost portion of each
townhouse building (adjacent to the single-family homes) are proposed at two (2)-
stories rather than three (3)-stories. The elevations show that the mid-point of the
two (2)-story portion would be approximately 24 feet in height. Staff opines that
the current configuration of the buildings represent a sufficient compromise to
improve compatibility between the subject property and the abutting properties to
the east to mitigate the height discrepancy. Staff also feels that decreasing the
height of the east fac;ade of these buildings would provide an equitable transition
between the maximum height of 35 feet allowed in the adjacent single-family
neighborhood and the 45-foot height allowed in the IPUD district.
The IPUD zoning district contains no speCific minimum building setback
requirements other than mirroring the setbacks of adjacent zoning districts.
However, a structure on the perimeter of an IPUD project that is adjacent to an
existing single-family neighborhood must adhere to additional setback
requirements. The IPUD regulations require an additional one (1) foot building
setback for each one (1) foot in building height that exceeds 30 feet. In this case,
the proposed height of the condominium building would be slightly more than 34
feet tall. Therefore, this would equate to an additional required setback of four (4)
feet (in conjunction with mirroring the setback of the abutting properties). The
Staff Report - Tuscan Villas (NWSP 06-002)
Memorandum No PZ 06-035
Page 7
properties to the east are located in an enclave of unincorporated Palm Beach
County, zoned County RS, and directly abut the subject site. These lots have been
developed with single-family detached homes. The IPUD zoning regulations
specifically addresses compatibility requirements with these types of developments.
The rear setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet; so therefore, the
project should have a rear building setback comparable to 15 feet. However, it
should be noted that the city may grant some relief from the required setbacks
provided that screening or other barriers are provided along the perimeter. Along
the east property line, the site plan proposes a building setback that ranges
between a minimum of 11.7 feet to a maximum of 35.2 feet. As previously
mentioned, a buffer wall is proposed along the east property line in conjunction
with a multitude of trees and shrubs that would provide the necessary buffering
between the townhouses and the single-family neighborhood. Likewise, the
easternmost portion of each townhouse building (adjacent to the single-family
homes) are proposed at two (2)-stories rather than three (3)-stories. The
developer provided a cross-section drawing, labeled "Section A-A", which shows a
townhouse building and how it compares with the adjacent single-family detached
homes. The detail indicates the existing / proposed setbacks, building heights, and
landscape material.
The property to the north of the subject property is zoned County CG and has been
developed with a commercial use (Gulfstream Carpet). The County CG zoning
district requires a 15-foot side setback. The proposed townhouse buildings would
be setback 10.3 feet from the north property line. This difference in building
setbacks between the subject project and the commercial property to the north is
consistent with other residential infill projects reviewed by the City.
Similarly, the property to the south is also zoned County CG. The townhouse
buildings would be setback between five (5) feet and nine (9) feet. Like the north
setback against commercial zoning, the reduced building setback from the south
property line is consistent with other approved projects. For this new site plan, all
proposed building setbacks are consistent with the existing setbacks within the
surrounding neighborhoods and meet the intent of the IPUD zoning district setback
regulations.
The main recreation area would be located at the center of the site, centrally
located to all residents. It would include a swimming pool, cabana building,
decorative water fountain, and bicycle racks. The recreation area is proposed large
enough to meet the IPUD's special requirement for usable open space. The
elevations do not indicate the actual roof height of the cabana building, but depicts
it as a one (l)-story structure. When scaled, it appears to be approximately 13
feet - six (6) inches in height. The photometric plan demonstrates that lighting
levels at the recreation area would be adequate and not "spill" over onto adjacent
properties.
Design:
The proposed buildings and clubhouse resemble a modern Spanish-Mediterranean
design with textured stucco finish, tile inserts, simulated stone band and sills, cast
stone baluster and panels, rounded-windows, wood-panel front doors, clear glass

with bronze finish aluminum frames, and S-tile roof. The project proposes multi-
colored buildings consisting of the following Porter paints and color schemes:
Color code Paint Name Color Location
Scheme # 1
#6805-1 Pale Honey Light tan Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
#6808-2 Dustv Airport Dark tan Main wall
Scheme #2
#6115-2 Pale Coral Light peach Main Wall
#6118-3 Sun Coral Peach Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
Scheme #3
#6169-2 Bud White Light yellow Main wall
#6172-4 Sun Amber Yellow Main wall
#7195-1 White Umber White Main wall
The elevations of the cabana building show that it would have the same roof style,
exterior finish, and paint colors as that of the townhouse buildings. The developer
provided staff with an illustration of the proposed outdoor freestanding lighting
fixture that would be used throughout the recreation area. The Pole Detail
indicates it would be a Sky Cast decorative pole, 15 feet in height and made of
concrete. No pole color was indicated on the illustration. Similar to other recently
approved townhouse projects, the buildings proposed along Federal Highway would
have their front doors oriented towards the street. Staff endorses this design
characteristic of how Building "A" and Building "B" engage the main street while
Building "C" and Building "D" are oriented towards the pool area.
Signage:
The project proposes a subdivision identification sign, located on the front fa~ade
of the recreation building, visible to motorists when entering the site. The Entry
Sign elevation (sheetA5.1) shows that "The Villas at Boynton Beach" sign would be
externally lit and made of aluminum pin letters of brushed gold color. The letters
would be centered between two (2) cast stone accent features.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for new site plan approval and is recommending approval, contingent upon
the successful request for annexation (ANEX 06-002), land use amendment / rezoning (LUAR 06-003), and
subject to satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional
conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the
Conditions of Approval.

Project name: Tuscan Villas
File number: NWSP 06-002
Reference: 3rd review plans identified as a New Site Plan with a February 28, 2006 Planning & Zoning date
stamp marking.
DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT
PUBLIC WORKS - General
Comments:
PUBLIC WORKS - Traffic
Comments:
1. At the time of permitting, add stop bar(s), stop sign(s), and double yellow
lane separators on the north and south side of the main entrance into the
development (on the internal road)
2. Insufficient space is provided to allow gating of the community, now or in the
future.
3. Add a handicap space adjacent to the pool area.
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Comments:
4. Lighting is only required for public parking. The street lighting is not
required, just recommended.
5. Sight triangle clearance two (2) feet - six (6) inches to eight (8) feet
clearance. The sight triangles need to be shown on the landscape plans at the
time of permitting - use FDOT standards.
UTILITIES
Comments:
6. The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5
million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities,
would meet the projected potable water for this project (project estimated to
require a total of 9,560 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure
improvements may be required, especially on the water delivery system for
the project, depending 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 projected total of 4,300 gallons per day, subject to the applicant
making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan.

7. At the time of permitting, all utility easements shall be shown on the rectified
site plan and landscaping drawings so that staff can 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. LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I, Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements
or public rights-of-way.
8. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water
and sewer systems serving this project (CODE Sec. 26-12).
9. At the time of permitting, fire flow calculations will be required
demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on
certain residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in
LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE Sec. 26-l6(b)). A single 6-
inch (assumed) stub line connection does not yield this requirement.
Consider looping a new 8-inch water main back into the existing 8-inch in
Federal Highway, with routing along side of Unit #16 (or ideally in the
replacement of Unit # 16).
10. CODE Sec. 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. The new time line requires payment within seven
(7) days.
11. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable
water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other
sources are readily available. As the project is close to the Intracoastal, if
brackish water is encountered, then city water may be approved for landscape
irrigation.
12. 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). Insufficient information has been provided regarding manhole
depth to determine final sanitary sewer utility easement widths. Sanitary
easements are assumed to be twice the depth of the manhole (deeper) depth.
A 10-foot separation is required between water and sewer III shared
easements. The minimum easement width is 12 feet. An administrative
waiver will be required for variations to the separation widths.

Comments:
26. The Landscape Architect should tabulate the total diameter inches of existing
trees on the site. The tabular data should show the individual species
diameters of trees proposed to remain in place, be relocated throughout the
site, or removed / replaced on site. All desirable species (Live Oak,
Mahogany) must be relocated rather than removed if the trees are in good
health. These trees should be shown by a separate symbol on the landscape
plan sheets 3 of 3. [Environmental Regulations, Chapter 7.5, Article I Sec.
7.D.p.2.
PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
27. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the accompanying
request for annexation (ANEX 06-002) and land use amendment / rezoning
(LUAR 06-002).
28. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the proposed
redevelopment project is located within the county designated "Coastal
Residential Exception Area", and therefore, meets the Traffic Performance
Standards of Palm Beach County. No building permits are to be issued after
the 2010 build-out date.
29. No individual swimming pools or screened enclosures are proposed (or
shown on the plans) and its omission should be noted as such on the plans
and within the Home Owners Association documents. Likewise, the
developer does not intend to screen-in the balconies either.
30. The buffer wall / fence may not exceed six (6) feet in height (Chapter 2,
Section 4.J.1.). The decorative caps cannot exceed seven (7) feet in height.
31. At the time of permitting, the site plan tabular data shall be revised to indicate
the correct building height.
32. All sIgnage IS subj ect to reVIew and approval of the Community
Redevelopment Agency and City Commission. The subdivision
identification sign face may not exceed 32 square feet in area (Chapter 21,
Article IV, Section 1.D).
33. Staff recommends relocating the utilities (proposed along the 10- foot wide
east landscape buffer) four (4) feet to the west so that the easement does not
overlap with the landscape buffer thereby allowing canopy trees within said
buffer.
