Meeting Minutes
Planning and Development Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
May 27, 2008
There was agreement to hear items one and two together and then vote on them
separately.
Gabriel Wuebben, Planner, presented the request to reclassify property from General
Commercial to Industrial, and rezone property from C-4 General Commercial to M-1
Industrial. The request involved lots 47 and 48 of Arden Park. Since the request was
small, it qualified as a "small scale" amendment which required adoption prior to forwarding
to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The amendment is not reviewed for
compliance with State, regional and local comprehensive plans prior to adoption.
Staff considered the state of industrial lands within the City in reference to the
Comprehensive Plan, the Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Plan and an additional study,
all of which called for the preservation and expansion of industrial lands, preferably east of
1-95. The additional study referenced included a Resolution adopted by the City authorizing
a Notice of Intent (NOI) to create a temporary moratorium, and allow staff to review and
revise zoning regulations for properties in the M-1 zoning district. The recommendations of
the study were to:
· Preserve existing industrial zoning;
· Expand opportunities for additional industrial type uses, including changing land
uses and zonings to industrial types of uses on residential properties contiguous to
FEC and other industrial land; and
· Address compatibility issues ensuring industrial edges were compatible with the
residential uses as well as enhancing them when adjacent to arterial roadways.
Mr. Wuebben explained there were policies within the Comprehensive Plan that supported
the request. Staff reviewed the project for compatibility with roadways and utilities and
found them to be compatible with the existing capacities. No negative effects on
surrounding property owners or property values were discovered. The request was
consistent with the provisos of the Comprehensive Plan and, as such, staff recommended
the request be approved.

Meeting Minutes
Planning and Development Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
May 27, 2008
Mr. Wuebben explained this request was reviewed by various City departments and there
were no objections to the request. There were public utility companies expressing an
interest; however, FPL and Florida Public Utilities approved of the abandonment, and
BellSouth and Com cast expressed a conflict. As a condition of approval, the applicant
would be required to work out the difficulties with the companies before moving forward
with the abandonment.
Staff explained the alleyway no longer served a public purpose and other alleyway
segments in the immediate area had already been abandoned. Accordingly, staff
recommended approval of the abandonment subject to the comments included in the
Conditions of Approval.
The property to the north had an abandoned home and to the south was a towing/auto
related use.
Dave Beasley, 2385 SW 13th Terrace, and Agent for the property, explained the two
parcels were being rezoned for two separate owners. Alice Snow currently owns the land
on which City Towing was situated and which currently was a non-conforming use in the C-
4 District. This property would be rezoned to M-1.
Charles Cook, the new owner of City Towing, was leasing the southern parcel owned by
Alice Snow, and he purchased the property to the north, which would be incorporated into
City Towing and operated as City Towing. Both parcels were being rezoned to M-1,
making them conforming lots.
In reference to the abandonment, Mr. Beasley explained the owner would be returning for
site plan approval, and they were aware they would leave an easement for FPL. He
explained under a normal side yard setback, they would not be able to build there anyway.
Additionally, Mr. Wuebben advised a member of the Engineering Department visited the
site and saw no conflict with Comcast.
Mr. Beasley agreed to the conditions of approval and acknowledged with the rezoning, they
would need to comply with current Community Appearance Codes. He advised there
would be some upgrading but did not know what it was at this time.
Chair Jaskiewicz opened the Public Hearing.
William Poznak, Board Alternate, had viewed the property and inquired about the
condition of the property. He explained there were cars on the premises that appeared to
be there for a long time.
Mr. Beasley responded that situation occurs in the towing business, and he was unaware if
the cars would be sold or junked. He knew there was a process that was in place, but he
did not know what it was. Mr. Rumpf suggested contacting Code Compliance. Chair
Jaskiewicz thought there were screening provisions. It was noted it may be difficult to

Planning and Development Board

restrict this type of improvement due to the nature of the towing business. Mr. Beasley
explained this was just the first step.
There were no further comments from the public. Chair Jaskiewicz closed the Public
Hearing.
The first motion pertained to Item 7.A.1.
Motion
Ms. Grcevic moved to reclassify property from General Commercial (GC) to Industrial (I)
and rezone from C-4 General Commercial, to M-1 Industrial. Ms. Killian seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
The second motion pertained to Item 7.A.2.
Motion
Ms. Killian moved to abandon a portion of the 1 O-foot wide alley between and adjacent to
Lots 46 and 47, Plat 2, Page 96, Arden Park Addition to Boynton, subject to the conditions
of BellSouth and the cable company as noted. Mr. Barnes seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.

Chair Jaskiewicz complimented Hanna Matras, Senior Planner, on the amendment. She
expressed it was a fantastic plan regarding water issues.
Ms. Matras explained this amendment was being brought to the board prior to the
Transmittal Hearing on June 17,2008. Water has been an issue because of the long-term
possibility that the City would not have enough water at the current rate of growth. The
amendment is a State requirement and the City is required to look at alternate water
sources and stricter comprehensive water policies.
The projects included in the plan were not new; they had been worked on for quite a long
time. The projects were included in the Capital Improvement Element schedule approved

BACKGROUND
In April of 2005 the city adopted a resolution authorizing issuance of a "Notice of Intent" to
create a temporary moratorium allowing staff to review and revise zoning regulations for
properties in M-1 zoning districts. A consultant was subsequently hired and recently completed
the analysis of the M-1 zoning district for the city. The study noted the potential negative effects
of the continuous decline in the amount of industrial land in Boynton Beach, and found the
current M-1 regulations unaccommodating to the changing market trends and lacking the ability
to mitigate impacts of M-1 zoned areas on adjacent rights-of-way or residential properties.
The recommendations of the study included the following:
· Preserve existing industrial zoning;
· Expand potential for additional industrial types of uses, including changing land use and
zoning to industrial type of use on residential property, contiguous to FEC and other
industrial land; and
· Address compatibility issues, including making industrial edges compatible with
residential uses, and enhancing them where adjacent to arterial roadways.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
The parcels which are the subject of this land use amendment (lots 47 & 48 of Arden Park)
total 0.33 acres (14,392 square feet). Because of the size of the property under consideration,
the Florida Department of Community Affairs classifies this amendment as a "small scale"
amendment. A "small-scale" amendment is adopted prior to forwarding to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs and is not reviewed for compliance with the state, regional
and local comprehensive plans prior to adoption.
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in the
Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 9, Administration and Enforcement, Item C.
Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Rezonings. These criteria are required to be part of a staff
analysis when the proposed change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map.
a. Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable comprehensive
plan policies including but not limited to, a prohibition against any increase in

dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without written
approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Planning Division and the City's risk
manager. The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requiremen~ which would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan.
Policy 1.19.4 of the Land Use Element reads:
" The City shall continue to encourage and enforce the development of industrial land as
industrial parks or concentrated industrial areas in order to maximize the linkage
between complementary industries."
The area adjacent to the subject parcel contains a variety of auto-related businesses. The
requested land use amendment and rezoning will allow a long-time business to gain conforming
status proximate to other existing auto-related uses, thus providing greater opportunities for
linkages.
Policy 1.9.5 of the Land Use Element reads (in part):
" The City, by 2002, shall conduct studies and/or prepare redevelopment plans for areas
designated by the Primary Target Areas Overlay. The plans shall, in part, implement or
further the adopted Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan with use
provisions, development standards and design criteria which may address public
improvements, infrastructure, building placement, architectural character, streetscape,
signage, landmark opportunities and unifying design concepts. Implementation
mechanisms may include, but are not limited to, adoption of overlays in the land
development regulations, amendments to land development regulations, and/or through
rezoning to new or existing districts. . ."
The Heart of Bovnton Communitv Redevelooment Plan. as adopted on December 4, 2001, is an
implementation measure of the cited policy. The "Proposed Land Use Map" for the
redevelopment plan proposes that the land area in the "Arden Park" neighborhood currently
designated "Industria/" should be extended westward to include the property on the east side of
N.E. 3rd Street (see Exhibit "A"). This extension of the industrial-designated land would include
the subject property, furthering the vision for this area.
b. Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use
pattern, or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby
districts, or would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare.
The requested rezoning would not create an isolated district, but would relate to the adjacent
land use designations to the east and to the existing uses in the area generally surrounding the
subject property. Other similar requests of the nature have been approved in the immediate
vicinity. Examples include National Transmission (502 N.E. 3rd Street), Beck's Towing (410 N.E.
5th Avenue) and Florida Collision Center (902 NE 3rd Street). The proposed change is consistent
with recommendations of the Heart of Bovnton Community Redevelooment Plan.

c. Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable.
The recent adoption of the Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment Plan and its
recommendations regarding properties located in the Arden Park neighborhood makes the
proposed rezoning desirable. The recommendation is to reclassify all properties fronting NE 3rd
Street on the east side from General Commercial District to M-1 Industrial District, thus
expanding the existing industrially zoned area. The shrinking supply of lands with the industrial
designation in recent years may create future location problems for industrial and marginal
commercial uses, which are important to the economic fabric of the city for providing valuable
services and employment opportunities. This applies to all land classified industrial. The
shortage of industrial sites geared toward small business is a concern. At present, there is not
much vacant land with industrial zoning such as M-1. Moreover, the areas with C-4 zoning,
which allow marginal commercial uses, are also scarce. These are located along US-1 and may
ultimately be reclassified/rezoned to further the Federal Highway Corridor Community
Redevelopment Plan.
d Whether the proposed use would be compatible with utility systems, roadways, and
other public facilities.
Properties less than one acre in size are not required to prepare comparisons of water and
wastewater demands. Since no additional development is proposed at this time on the subject
property, no changes are anticipated in the demands on either water or wastewater. Neither are
there any anticipated increases in traffic impacts. With respect to solid waste, in a letter dated
December 18, 2001 the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority has stated that adequate
capacity exists to accommodate the county's municipalities throughout the lO-year planning
period. Lastly, drainage will also be reviewed, and must satisfy all requirements of the city and
local drainage permitting authorities.
e. Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the current and future
use of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of
adjacent or nearby properties.
As stated above under "Project Description", the existing uses surrounding the subject site are
intense commercial and industrial uses. The proposed land use amendment and rezoning
would generally be compatible with existing uses of adjacent properties.
f. Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning.
The property is currently developed and used as the site of an auto-related business, a
permitted use under the existing C-4 zoning. The property is physically and economically
developable for other intensive commercial uses permitted within that zoning district.
g. Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the
needs of the neighborhood and the city as a whole.
Criteria for evaluating the benefits of the proposed development to the needs of the
neighborhood and the City include service demands, intensity, use, value and consistency with

Comprehensive Plan policies. As indicated above, impacts of the proposed project on the
service delivery and transportation systems will be negligible. It is consistent with the cited
Comprehensive Plan policies.
h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for the proposed use, in
districts where such use is already aI/owed.
The amount of land designated for industrial uses is very limited, particularly in the part of the
City east of 1-95, so there are limited opportunities for auto-related businesses. This location is
convenient to the downtown as well as to other ancillary auto-related uses that serve the
residents of the City. The request to convert to industrially-zoned land is appropriate in light of
re-zonings that in recent years have resulted in the conversion of industrial land to other zoning
designations. In the last five (5) years, some 135 acres have lost their industrial designation,
not including Quantum Park, which retained the designation although a large percentage of its
acreage has been converted to uses other than industrial.
The loss of industrial land has occurred simultaneously within unincorporated Palm Beach
County and most of its other municipalities. This trend's negative impact on the local economies
in terms of future jobs, availability of services and tax bases has been recognized by the
county's Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review Committee (IPARC). The City should
preserve and expand industrial land when appropriate in order to enhance economic viability.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
As indicated herein, this request is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan; will
not create additional impacts on infrastructure that have not been anticipated in the
Comprehensive Plan; will be compatible with adjacent land uses and will contribute to the
overall economic development of the City. Therefore, staff recommends that the subject
request be approved.
