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 has certified that they posted signage and mailed notices in
accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.

School:
The subject parcel is long and narrow, extending from South Federal Highway west
to SE 4th Street. The lot has approximately 83 feet of frontage on both South
Federal Highway and SE 4th Street, and a lot depth of approximately 347 feet. The
0.66 acre parcel previously supported a small photography business (Smith
Brothers Film Drop). The building was recently demolished and the parcel is
currently vacant. The property is located within Study Area IV of the Federal
Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan and within the Urban
Commercial District Overlay Zone.
Perez Design, agent for the applicant, is proposing a two-story commercial
development of 10,347 square feet consisting of the following: 5,010 square feet
of medical office, including 2,000 square feet for physical therapy; 1,456 square
feet of general (professional/business) office; 1,994 square feet of retail space; and
1,887 square feet of common area including vertical circulation, lobby, and covered
balconies (see Exhibit "B"). Medical and general office, and retail uses are
permitted in the C-3 zoning district. The entire project would be built in one (1)
phase.
ANALYSIS
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division is in the process of reviewing the project
traffic statement, and no traffic concurrency approval for the project has been
received to date. However, the proposed project is located within the designated
Boynton Beach Traffic Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), and would therefore
meet the Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) of Palm Beach County. Staff
recommends that traffic concurrency approval from Palm Beach County Traffic
Engineering be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project
(see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
School concurrency is not required for this type of project.

Utilities: The Utilities Department advises there is sufficient reserve capacity to provide
water and sewer service to the proposed project. 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. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is also
currently available to serve the project.
Police/Fire: Staff has 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 (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Vehicular Access: The project proposes two (2) points of ingress/egress: one from South Federal
Highway accessing the front (east), and another from SE 4th Street accessing the
rear (west). Each access point would consist of a two-way drive 24 feet in width.
Circulation: From the front access point, vehicular circulation would include two-way understory
circulation that continues throughout the parking lot to the rear access point.
Pedestrian connectivity would be provided via continuous walkways from South
Federal Highway through the site to SE 4th Street.
Parking: The project proposes a total of 5,010 square feet of medical office space, 1,456
square feet of general office space, and 1,994 square feet of retail space. Parking
for medical office and retail use requires one (1) space per 200 square feet of gross
floor area, and parking for general office requires one (1) space per 300 square
feet of gross floor area. Based on the above, a minimum of 40 parking spaces are
required. The site plan indicates a total of 40 parking spaces are to be provided,
including four (4) handicap spaces near the building's west entrance.
All parking spaces are located to the rear (west) of the proposed building. The 90-
degree parking stalls, excluding the handicap spaces, would be dimensioned nine
(9) feet in width and sixteen (16) feet in length and include continuous curbing as
well as a two (2) foot overhang. All proposed parking stalls, including the size and
location of the handicap spaces, were reviewed and approved by both the
Engineering Division and Building Division. In addition, all necessary traffic control
signage and pavement markings will be provided to clearly delineate areas on site
and direction of circulation.
Landscaping:
The site has been cleared of all vegetation. Per the City Tree Preservation
Ordinance, a total of 36 caliper inches of trees/palms are to be provided to mitigate
the 36 caliper inches removed. The landscape plan (sheet L-1) and plant schedule
(sheet L-3) indicate three (3) Sabal palms of 12 caliper inches each and varying
from 12 feet to 18 feet in height, will be provided as mitigation plantings. All
mitigation trees will be located along the north property line near the area where
existing overhead wires are to be relocated underground.

The landscape plan (see Exhibit "B-6'') indicates a six (6) foot buffer width adjacent
to Federal Highway, typical of new developments within the Urban Commercial
District Overlay Zone, where a "build-to line" is required within zero (0) to fifteen
(15) feet from the right-of-way. The landscape plan indicates a ten (10) foot buffer
width along the north property line and a pedestrian walkway seven (7) feet in
width, except where the building is proposed at the minimum zero (0) side setback.
The landscape plan indicates a seven and one-half (7.5) foot buffer width adjacent
to SE 4th Street, with authorization from the Engineering Division to plant within the
right-of-way. A seven and one-half (7.5) foot buffer width is proposed along the
south property line adjacent to an existing perimeter landscape buffer for the
neighboring church property.
The landscaping provides a complimentary mix of canopy and palm trees such as
Silver Buttonwood, Orange Geiger Tree, Southern Live Oak, and Sabal Palm. All
trees would be the required minimum of 12 feet in height at time of planting.
Montgomery Palms, 18 feet in height at time of planting, would frame the proposed
building as foundation trees, required to be half the height of the building. Shrubs
would include Red Tip Cocoplum, Green Buttonwood, Dwarf Fire Bush, Wax
Jasmine, and Fakahatchee Grass, and groundcover would include Dune Sunflower.
The site plan indicates that 19.91% of the site would be pervious consisting of
landscaped and open space areas. The landscape code requires that 50% or more
of the plant material be native species. The plant list (sheet L-3) indicates the
landscape plan would provide a total of 30 canopy trees, of which 25 (or 83%)
would be native species. The plant list indicates that 16 (or 76%) of the 21 palm
trees would be native species. Also, the landscape plan indicates a total of 659
shrubs, of which 503 (or 76%) would be native. The irrigation plan (sheet OA- IR)
indicates that reclaimed (non-potable) water will be used as the source of irrigation
for the project, along with sensor system to reduce water use for irrigation by 82
percent per year. To further reduce irrigation demand, staff recommends sod be
replaced with hardy groundcovers and shrubs (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval).
Building and Site: The proposed 10,347 square foot commercial building is designed as a two (2)-
story structure, with an under-story drive-through ingress/egress separating the
ground floor space (see Exhibits "B-1", "B-2''). The first floor plan (sheet A-210)
indicates general office space (1,456 square feet), storage, and a rear stairwell on
the south (left) side of the building. Retail space (1,994 square feet), mechanical
rooms, a lobby, and an elevator and rear stairwell are located on the north (right)
side of the building. The second floor plan (sheet A-220) indicates medical offices
(3,010 square feet) and physical therapy space (2,000 square feet). The
remainder of the site would consist of surface parking and landscaped areas.
Building Height: The building elevations (sheets A-300, A-301) indicate the roof deck at a height of
28 feet 8 inches and a five (5)-foot parapet wall above the roof deck at a height of
33 feet 8 inches. However, based on the building design, total building height is
measured from the midpoint of the highest pitched roof. Building elevations (see
Exhibits "B-3", "B-4'') indicate the midpoint of the highest pitched roof would be 40
feet. The C-3 zoning district allows a maximum building height of 45 feet.

Design:
The contemporary Mediterranean design of the proposed commercial building
resembles Spanish style architecture that would include a smooth stucco finish on
masonry walls with stucco banding, and covered balconies for visual interest (see
Exhibit "B-5''). Building details include adobe blend concrete S-tile roofing,
decorative wooden brackets and columns, balconies with decorative aluminum
railing, canvas awnings, ornamental aluminum grilles in stairwell openings that
match balcony railings, and cross-hatched decorative scoring. According to the
elevations and materials board, the main base wall color of the proposed building
would be shades of apricot color: a darker "Sunset" on the ground floor and a
lighter "Avid Apricot" on the upper floor. The trim, including stucco bands,
columns, and decorative wood brackets would be "Welcome White". Balcony
railings, decorative lighting, ornamental grilles, and canvas awnings would be
"Black of Night". All paints would be Sherwin Williams.
lighting:
The photometric plan (sheet A-102) proposes eight (8) freestanding concrete pole
light fixtures, each reduced in height to 20 feet, for the parking lot. Additional
exterior lighting would be ceiling mounted within the covered drive-through. Black
decorative lighting fixtures are also proposed on each building elevation, and will
match the color of the balcony railing. Per the photometric plan, all proposed
lighting is based on pulse start lamps operated with photoelectric control, and shall
be shielded to direct light down and away from adjacent properties and rights-of-
way.
Signage:
The east building elevation (Sheet A-300) indicates the proposed locations of wall
signage for the future tenants of the proposed building. No signage details such as
color and font have been determined by the applicant. Staff recommends a
condition of approval requiring the building wall signage to comply with the
community design plan guidelines, such as a single sign style and one (1) lettering
style, limited to two (2) colors that complement the building per Chapter 9, Section
10.1. of the LDR (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). No freestanding
monument sign is proposed.
Public Art:
Two (2) tile murals are proposed to comply with the public art requirement. One
(1) mural is proposed on the east building elevation between the front doors of the
first floor retail space. Another mural is proposed on the south building elevation.
Both locations to exhibit public art by others are near Federal Highway for visibility.
This artwork would include hand-painted tiles depicting abstract plant material.
The artwork would complement the architecture of the proposed office building and
enhance the ambiance of the proposed development. Ultimate review and
approval of the artist and artwork is still pending by the Arts Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for New Site Plan and recommends approval ofthe plans presented. If this
request is approved, it is subject to satisfying all staff 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.
