BACKGROUND
Mr. Steve Liller with K. Hovnanian Homes is requesting an additional one (1) year site plan time extension
for the Cortina project, a proposed 458 unit townhouse development on 30 acres of the 81.84-acre
Boynton Village mixed-use project. The site plan for the Cortina project (NWSP 05-001) was approved on
September 20, 2005 and was valid for one (1) year. At the time of site plan approval the regulations
allowed a total of one (1) year to secure a building permit following site plan approval; however, the
regulations have since been revised to allow an initial 18-month period to secure a building permit. A site
plan time extension (SPTE 06-012) for this project was approved on February 13, 2007, which extended
site plan approval for one (1) year, from September 20, 2006 to September 20, 2007. If this request for
an additional extension were approved, the expiration date would be extended to September 20, 2008.
The subject property, generally located at the northeast corner of Old Boynton Road and Congress
Avenue, is bounded by the LWDD C-16 Canal to the north, the LWDD E-4 Canal to the east, and Old
Boynton Road to the south. According to the original site plan staff report, the proposed Cortina at
Boynton Village project is a Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) Master Planned development approved for 458
fee-simple townhouse dwelling units. The project has been approved for the following: a land use
amendment (LUAR 04-006) from Moderate Density Residential (MoDR) to Mixed Use- Suburban (MX-S)
classification; a rezoning (LUAR 04-006) from Single-Family Residential (R-1-M) to the Suburban Mixed
Use (SMU) zoning district; a new site plan (NWSP 05-001); and a site plan time extension (SPTE 06-012).
The approved SMU master plan depicts the proposed Cortina project to be developed in two (2) phases
which will consist of a total of 458 fee-simple townhouse units. The project proposes a mix of buildings
with a minimum of four (4) units to a maximum of six (6) units per building. The Cortina project was
approved with various models that would range up to 2,898 square feet under air. All units would have
three (3) bedrooms, and 127 units or (27.7%) are designated as "live/work" units located on the ground
floor. Live/work units are generally limited to professional and business services with no more than two
(2) on-site employees. The SMU zoning district limits the work space of the live/work unit to no more than
30% or 400 square feet, whichever is greater. The approved site plan indicates the townhouse buildings

Memorandum No PZ 07-103

are approved with a Spanish-Mediterranean architectural style and building facades enhanced with
balconies, trim, banding, columns, shutters, medallions, decorative garage doors, and Spanish S-tile roof.
The proposed townhouse development would be constructed around an 8.3-acre lake. The Master Site
Data Plan indicates that the recreation areas would account for 2.1 acres of the subject site. Internal
private spaces in the form of small parks are sprinkled throughout the development, while a large five (5)-
acre public park is proposed on the southern portion, east of the spine road and adjacent to Old Boynton
Road. The two (2) recreation areas would have an 875-square foot clubhouse building and pool.
ANALYSIS
According to the current Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall
have eighteen (18) months to secure a building permit from the Development Department", however at
the time the site plan was approved, only one (1) year was allowed to secure a building permit. Examples
of building permits include but are not limited to the following: Plumbing, electrical, mechanical,
foundation, and structural. The Regulations authorize the City Commission to approve one (1) year time
extensions, provided that the applicant files the request prior to the expiration date of the development
order. In this case, the applicant has met that requirement. The Planning & Zoning Division received the
extension request August 22,2007, approximately one (1) month prior to the expiration of the site plan.
The developer has indicated that recent changes in the local real estate market have compelled
K. Hovnanian Homes to review and reconsider the product they intend to construct. The renewed effort
will concentrate on creating more variety in product affordability, as mixed live/work units will combine
with both two (2) and three (3) story townhomes to welcome a broader range of potential buyers. The
developer states that site plan amendments and required re-plat approval are estimated to delay the
project up to six (6) months. In the meantime, all land development permits for infrastructure and
construction have been obtained with the exception of the Boynton Beach land development permit, which
has been requested from the City and still requires payment of the Parks and Recreation impact fee.
A more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with concurrency
requirements. A letter from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering was received indicating that the entire
Master Plan meets the traffic performance standards, with a series of conditions which limit or time
aspects of the development with certain roadway improvements. The site plan time extension would still
be subject to the original conditions of site plan approval. Lastly, no new land development regulations
are now in place which staff recommends should be applied to the subject project. As for application of
the Art in Public Places Ordinance, site plan approval occurred prior to the adoption of Ordinance 05-060.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed this request for site plan time extension, and recommends approval, contingent upon
successfully 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.

August 22, 2007
Attn: Ed Breese
Dear Ed,
Please accept this letter as a written request for an additional time extension to our
approved site plan and Development Order for Cortina. Our original site plan expiration
date was September 20, 2006, we were granted a one year extension that expires September
20, 2007. K Hovnanian Homes (fka Town and Country Homes) will not have issued a
building permit by this date.
Based on the ongoing decline in the housing market, K Hovnanian Homes feels it is
necessary to implement changes to the product type approved at Cortina. In order to meet
the needs of the current market, we are reviewing the current site plan and will be
implementing changes that we feel will assist with the marketing and selling of our homes.
We are, however, creating a product mix to include live/work units, front load and rear load
3 story townhomes, and front load and rear load 2 story town homes along with changes to
the amenities that are currently proposed. We feel the product mix will create variety in
price and options to welcome a variety of end users. The process of amending the site plan
and revising the recorded plat is estimated to take up to (6) six months therefore we are
requesting a (1) one year time extension to allow for the necessary time to revise and
approve our site plan and plat.
Please note to date, all land development permits for infrastructure and construction
have been obtained with the exception of the Boynton Beach land development permit. .
Reservation fees for Water and Sewer have been paid
K Hovnanian Homes has contributed their prorata share to the building of the
common improvements both on and off site for Boynton Village. Approximately 6.8
million dollars will have been spent by K Hovnanian Homes for their prorated share of the
Site Development Agreement for Boynton Village by the end of 2007. We are and will

32. Regarding the live / work units: Unit "D" proposes a work space of 449 X
square feet. Although the work area is 15.49% of the unit, at the time of
permitting, the work area shall be reduced to no more than 400 square feet in
order to comply with code.
33. Buildings designed as live / work units shall provide universal accessibility to X
the front and to the interior space of the non-residential area of the live-work
unit from the public sidewalk adjacent to the street (Chapter 2, Section
6.H.5.c.(1 ).( c).). At the time of permitting, provide a drawing that indicates
parking available for these types of units and distance for determination of
compliance with the Code.
34. The City encourages that one (1) parking space per two (2) live / work units X
be provided to meet business activity needs. Parking provided to meet this
requirement shall be located on the lot, built into or under the structure, or
within 300 feet of the unit in which the use is located. Parking provided to
accommodate said space, including driveways of adequate depth in front of
the unit's garage, shall not serve as meeting required parking for the unit's
residential use (Chapter 2, Section 6.H.5.c.(4).
35. On the landscape plan, ensure that the plant quantities match between the X
tabular data and the graphic illustration. Staff recommends adding more trees
along the south property line adjacent to the park.
36. In order to ensure proper maintenance of the buffer areas, staff recommends X
that they be maintained by the Home Owners' Association so that no
individual property owner removes any of the required plant material along
the perimeter or interior of the development.
37. All freestanding monument signs shall have colorful groundcover installed at X
the base (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.0).
38. Submit a master sign program that shows the number, location, dimensions, X
exterior finish, and color(s) of all freestanding monument signs (Chapter 2,
Section 5.H.9.). This would include signage for the live / work units.
39. Staff recommends orienting the townhouse buildings so that all units X
(proposed along the spine road) are "facing" the spine road. This would
apply to those units proposed south of the lake. Also, it would make sense for
them to be "rear loaded units" or live-work units. However, if the developer
elects to not re-orient the buildings, then staff recommends that the west
fa<;ade of the townhouse building (proposed along the spine road) shall be
enhanced with shutters, plaster banding, and / or archways to resemble the
front facades.
40. Staff recommends eliminating the "Live / Work" component of the X
townhouse buildings proposed at the northeast comer of the subject property.
