77. Revise site plan to label centerlines and depict width from centerline of all
abutting rights-of-way.
Refer site plan in pa!!e A1 00, all abutting rights-of-way are dimensioned.
78. Chapter 4, Site Plan Review, of the Land Development Regulations (LDR),
requires survey to show locations of all existing utility lines and all
easements. Also indicate all existing and proposed utility lines and
easements, their purpose and widths, on site plan and landscape plan.
Ok.
79. Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2
required for physical therapy needs to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section
I1.H.14. of the LDR).
Refer to Survey drawing performed by Bob Buggee as part of this application
packaf!e.
80. Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. of the LDR, one (1) interior landscape island (with
a tree) is required every ten (I 0) parking spaces to divide and break up the
expanse of paving. Per the LDR, trees provided adjacent to abutting
properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
Interior islands have been added to the site plan and landscape plan and the
required trees per ten (10) parking spaces have been added.
Refer to page A100, site plan drawing have been revised as to provide a
landscape island every 10 parkinf! spaces as per LDR Ch. 7.5, Section 5.G.
81. Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LDR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section I1.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
Building area has been reduced, therefore. number of parking spaces required
have been reduced from 42 to 40. Landscape Islands have been added as per
code re(fuirements.

Planning 1 st Review Comments
Dr Sibia - 709 S Federal Hwy
NWSP 09-001
At the technical advisory review team (TART) meeting, provide written responses to all staffs comments
and questions. Submit 12 sets of revised plans. Each set should be folded and stapled.
The revised plan set should be in the following order: cover sheet, full-sized survey, site plan,
architecturals, civils, photometrics, and landscaping/irrigation. On cover sheet provide a reordered index
for all sheets in plan set.
At the TART meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized 8Y2 inches by 11 inches of each
plan. Save each plan to pdf and submit CD at the TART meeting.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the application requests are publicly advertised in
accordance with Ordinance 04-007. Please contact Sherie Coale, Application Technician, at 561-742-
6265 if you have any questions.
Plan revisions must be reflected on all appropriate sheets throughout the plan set.
Provide a full-sized (24" by 36") survey in plan set, which indicates locations and widths of all existing
easements, and includes at the end of the legal description the total acreage (to the 100th of an acre) /
square footage of subject property.
Submit 2 copies of signed and sealed traffic study for the project. One copy will be forwarded to City
Engineer and other to Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering for traffic concurrency approval.
Submit completed Art in Public Places application.
Revise to correct and/or complete the following sections of the Site Plan Application: page 1, 104. address
of agent needs city and state; page 2, LlO. uses should include general (professionallbusiness) office;
page 2, Lll-16. should include contact person's name and name of firm; page 2, ILl. land use plan
category needed: Local Retail Commercial (LRC); page 3, II.6.h. provide total gross floor area (enclosed
and under roof); page 4, II.7.e. is 0; page 4, II.8. is 0; page 4, II.9. need height (as measured from
midpoint of highest pitched roof) and # of stories.
Revise name of project (previously submitted project already has name of Boynton Beach Medical and it
is also located on S Federal Hwy). Suggest "name of doctor medical office" or " office and
retail center". Revise project name on application (page 1, 1.1.) and all plans (cover sheet and title blocks
on each sheet).
Add notes 1-10 from sheet 2 (Demolition Plan) to sheet AlOO (Site Plan).
Revise site plan (sheet AI00) to show a graphic and written scale on right side of sheet (where it can be
seen) and label north arrow. Revise location map to more clearly depict subject property (boundaries,
hatchlines).
Plans should be of consistent scale. Revise to add an overall landscape plan at same scale (I "=20') as site
plan and insert as first sheet of landscape plans.
Property lines (bearings and distances) on all plans should correspond with bearings and distances on
current survey.
Revise cover sheet to include property owners name, address, phone and developer's name, address,
phone.
Revise tabular site data to include the following: future land use category (LRC) of subject property;
proposed uses and related gross square footage; total building square footage proposed; and building
height proposed (should match elevations and be measured from midpoint of highest pitched roof). Move
parking calcs from above location map to site plan tabular data and revise to be consistent (use, sf,
method of calc, # required, # provided).
Revise site plan to indicate zoning and land uses on abutting properties (to N & S).
Revise site plan to include legal description from survey with total acreage and square feet.
Revise site plan to label centerlines and depict width from centerline of all abutting rights-of-way.
Chapter 4, Site Plan Review, of the Land Development Regulations (LOR), requires survey to show
locations of all existing utility lines and all easements. Also indicate all existing and proposed utility
lines and easements, their purpose and widths, on site plan and landscape plan.
Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2 required for physical therapy needs
to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section 11.H.14. of the LDR).
Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. of the LOR, one (1) interior landscape island (with a tree) is required every ten
(10) parking spaces to divide and break up the expanse of paving. Per the LDR, trees provided adjacent
to abutting properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping requirement.
Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation, of
the LOR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage
cross-access. Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of required landscape
islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be
provided with the abutting property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site most
likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week or at different hours than the
proposed uses on the subject property. Per Ch.2, Section I1.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your
required parking spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff would not
support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact that there is no hardship (size of
proposed building can be always be reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition,
church dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your dumpster may be located
in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more area on site for parking spaces.
It is preferred that the site be redesigned to have main access from the northeast comer of the subject
property, allowing a single two-story building, rather than two buildings divided by understory access.
Staff believes the redesigned single two-story building would allow more cohesive square footage and
look more compatible with surrounding buildings.
Traffic control markings, including fire lanes, and all traffic sign locations are required to be shown on
plans.
. .
Note on plans that no drive-up use or service of any kind is permitted for the proposed first floor uses.
Revise site plan to label loading zone. Submit letter from City Engineer that approves of reduced size of
loading space, given the anticipated size of delivery trucks for the proposed uses on this site.
Revise site and landscape plan to indicate location, and typical width of all pedestrian walkways (show
walkways with a pattern similar to typical for concrete).
Revise site plan and landscape plan to indicate location of required public art (needs to be visible from
Federal Highway). Suggestion: propose north building wall to be a "green wall" with lots of colorful
(flowering) climbing vines, etc. Check with Debby Coles-Dobay, Public Art Administrator (561-742-
6026) to see if a green wall may be counted toward the contribution of art. If so, revise site and landscape
plan (including plant material list) accordingly.
Revise sheet A210 (First Floor Plan) to identify/label rectangles with dashed lines outside of stairs.
Landscape plan appears to conflict with these rectangles.
Revise sheet A220 (Second Floor Plan) to note square feet for each use.
Submit a large color rendering of all building elevations (north, south, east, and west) prior to the TART
meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.0.2.) (clipped not glued to foamboard). These will be on display as
exhibits at the public meetings.
Per Ch.9. Section 11.1. of the LDR, all building facades of a building that face or are visible from public
or private streets shall be designed to be as attractive in appearance as the front of the building. Revise
north and south building elevations, which are highly visible from Federal Highway, to provide further
architectural enhancements (matching the east and west elevations) on walls with blank areas.
Are the stairwells designed as open-air with unglazed openings? It would appear so on the elevation
drawings, but is unclear on the floor plans. Clarify floor plans by labeling accordingly.
If the stairwell has unglazed openings, the rather plain openings should be fitted with architecturally
embellished ironwork or similar treatment. Additionally, the edge of the openings should have decorative
trim, cornice work, sills, or other attractive applications.
Revise sheets A300 and A301 (Exterior Elevations) to show colors and materials proposed for building
walls, trim, doors, windows, roofing, awnings, railings, columns, decorative features, etc. Label each with
paint manufacturer, name color of paint and paint code (i.e. Sherwin Williams "Sea Salt SW 6204").
Revise sheets A300 and A301 (Exterior Elevations) to indicate height of building (measured from mid-
point of roof of highest pitched roof).
Rooftops will be treated as part of the building elevation. Note on plans that all rooftop equipment must
be completely screened from view at a minimum distance of 600 feet (Chapter 9, Section I1.E.)
The removal/relocation of landscape material is subject to review and approval of the City
Forester/Environmentalist.
Indicate on site plan and landscape plan the amount of pervious and impervious area (in square feet and
percent of site).
. .
Staff recommends elimination of any sod areas to reduce irrigation demand. Substitute hardy
groundcovers and shrubs in place of the sod.
The Landscape Plan does not comply with requirements for terminal landscape islands at end of each row
of parking and interior landscape islands. Revise plans to: (1) provide required parking area interior
landscaping (mid-aisle landscape islands) that are not the minimum width of five (5) feet, but of sufficient
size that planting area is increased to accommodate more and larger trees and ensure root stability in
higher winds; and (2) increase width of terminal islands adjacent to SE 4th Street from 5 feet to 7 feet as
required per Ch. 7.5 Section S.D.
All above ground mechanical equipment such as, but not limited to, exterior utility boxes, meters, and
transformers shall be depicted on all plans and shall be visually screened. Back-flow preventers shall be
painted to match the principal structure (Chapter 9, Section IO.CA.). Place a note on plans indicating this
requirement and revise plans accordingly.
Indicate on site plan and landscape plan the location of proposed monument sign (if applicable) and a sign
detail that includes sign dimensions, height, and total proposed sign face area.
Provide detail of proposed multi-tenant wall signage, including sign dimensions, font, colors, and sign
face area per sign. Per the Community Design Plan requirements ofCh. 9.Section 10.1. of the LDR, only
one (1) font/lettering style is permitted.
Revise photometrics plan to include a title block, scale (written and graphic); north arrow; name, firm,
and contact info of person that prepared plan.
Revise photometrics plan to include a detail of a typical freestanding outdoor lighting pole (indicating
height from grade to top). The typical drawing of the freestanding outdoor lighting poles must also
include the color and type of material. 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
IO.F.I.). A minimum average light level of one (1) foot candle shall be provided, with no more than 10%
of the spot readings below one (1) foot candle and none below Yz foot candle (Chapter 23, Article
ILA.I.a).
Lighting shall not be of an intensity that produces glare on adjacent property (Chapter 9, Section IO.F.2.).
Feature lighting emphasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, and exits is encouraged (Chapter 9, Section
IO.F.3.).
Applicants who wish to utilize City electronic media equipment for recommended Powerpoint
presentations at City Commission Public Hearings must notify the Planning and Zoning Department
representative and submit a CD of the presentation at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting.

abutting rights-of-way.
Refer site plan in paf!e A1 00, all abuttin!! rifdlts-of-wav are dimensioned.
78. Chapter 4, Site Plan Review, of the Land Development Regulations (LDR),
requires survey to show locations of all existing utility lines and all
easements. Also indicate all existing and proposed utility lines and
easements, their purpose and widths, on site plan and landscape plan.
Ok.
79. Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2
required for physical therapy needs to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section
11.H.14. of the LOR).
Refer to Survey drawing performed by Bob BlIggee as part of this application
packaf!e.
80. Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. of the LDR, one (1) interior landscape island (with
a tree) is required every ten (10) parking spaces to divide and break up the
expanse of paving. Per the LDR, trees provided adjacent to abutting
properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
Interior islands Ilave been a{lded to tile site plan and landscape plan and tile
required trees per ten (10) parking spaces have been added.
Refer to page A100, site plan drawing have been revised as to provide a
landscape island every 10 parkinf! spaces as per LD R Ch. 7.5, Section 5. G.
81. Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LDR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section 11.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
Building area has been reduced, therefore. nllmber of parking spaces required
have been reduced from 42 to 40. Landscape Islands have been added as per
code rel/uirements.

82. It is preferred that the site be redesigned to have main access from the
northeast comer of the subject property, allowing a single two-story
building, rather than two buildings divided by understory access. Staff

Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2
required for physical therapy needs to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section
ll.H.l4. of the LDR).
80.
Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. of the LDR, one (1) interior landscape island (with
a tree) is required every ten (l0) parking spaces to divide and break up the
expanse of paving. Per the LDR, trees provided adjacent to abutting
properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
81.
Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LDR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section 1 1.H. 13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
82.
It is preferred that the site be redesigned to have main access from the
northeast comer of the subject property, allowing a single two-story
building, rather than two buildings divided by understory access. Staff
believes the redesigned single two-story building would allow more
cohesive square footage and look more compatible with surrounding
buildings.

easements. Also indicate all existing and proposed utility lines and
easements, their purpose and widths, on site plan and landscape plan.

79. Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2
required for physical therapy needs to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section
Il.H.14. of the LDR).
Refer to Survey drawing performed by Bob Bllggee as part of this application
package.
80. Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. of the LDR, one (1) interior landscape island (with
a tree) is required every ten (10) parking spaces to divide and break up the
expanse of paving. Per the LDR, trees provided adjacent to abutting
properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
Interior islands have been added to the site plan and landscape plan and the
required trees per ten (10) parking spaces have been added.
Refer to page A100, site plan drawing have been revised as to provide a
landscClpe island everv 10 parking spaces as per LDR Ch. 7.5, Section 5.G.
81. Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LDR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section 11.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
Building area has been reduced, therefore, number of parking spaces required
hm'e been reduced from 42 to 40. Landscape Islands have been added as per
code rel/llirements.

properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
Interior islands have been added to the site plan and landscape plan and the
required trees per ten (10) parking spaces have been added.
Refer to page A100, site plan drawing have been revised as to provide a
landscape island everv 10 parking spaces as per LDR Ch. 7.5, Section 5.G.
81. Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LDR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section I1.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
Building area has been reduced. therefore. number (~f parking spaces required
have been reduced from 42 to 40. Landscape Islands have been added as per
code re{fuirements.

Refer site plan ill PlIJ!e Al 00, all abuttinJ! rif!l1ts-of-wlIv are dimensioned.
78. Chapter 4, Site Plan Review, of the Land Development Regulations (LOR),
requires survey to show locations of all existing utility lines and all
easements. Also indicate all existing and proposed utility lines and
easements, their purpose and widths, on site plan and landscape plan.

79. Revise plans to show a total of 5 handicap parking spaces on site (2.2
required for physical therapy needs to be rounded up to 3 per Ch. 2, Section

80. Per Ch.7.5., Section 5.G. ofthe LOR, one (1) interior landscape island (with
a tree) is required every ten (10) parking spaces to divide and break up the
expanse of paving. Per the LOR, trees provided adjacent to abutting
properties do not contribute toward the parking area interior landscaping
requirement.
Interior islallds have been added to the site plan and lalldscape plan and the
required trees per ten (10) parking spaces have been added.
Refer to page AI00, site plan drawing have been revised as to provide a
landscape islamf ever}' 10 parkillf! spaces as per LDR Ch. 7.5, Section 5. G.
81. Per Ch.9, Community Design Plan, Section 10. Site Criteria., B. Vehicular
and Pedestrian Circulation, of the LOR, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
systems on adjacent properties shall be linked to encourage cross-access.
Due to the apparent parking shortage that will result after the addition of
required landscape islands and additional handicap space, it is strongly
recommended that inter-parcel (cross) access be provided with the abutting
property to the south to allow for some shared parking. This church site
most likely has a parking demand that occurs on different days of the week
or at different hours than the proposed uses on the subject property. Per
Ch.2, Section Il.H.13. (ULI Parking Study), some of your required parking
spaces may be allocated in part to be located on the abutting property. Staff
would not support a variance to the number of parking spaces due to the fact
that there is no hardship (size of proposed building can be always be
reduced to reduce the amount of required parking). In addition, church
dumpsters are nearby and may be able to be shared, or potentially your
dumpster may be located in that area if convenient, thereby freeing up more
area on site for parking spaces.
Building lIrea has been reduced, therefore, number lif parkillg spaces required
have been reduced from 42 to 40. La/ldscape Islands hllve been added as per
code rel/uiremellts.

82. It is preferred that the site be redesigned to have main access from the
northeast comer of the subject property, allowing a single two-story
building, rather than two buildings divided by understory access. Staff
believes the redesigned single two-story building would allow more
cohesive square footage and look more compatible with surrounding
buildings.

vines, etc. Check with Debby Coles-Oobay, Public Art Administrator
(561- 7 4 2-6026) to see if a green wall may be counted toward the
contribution of art. If so, revise site and landscape plan (including plant
material list) accordingly.
