BACKGROUND
Mr. Tim Hernandez, Vice-President of New Urban High Ridge, LLC, is requesting a major site plan
modification for High Ridge PUD to modify the approved plan by reducing the total number of units,
change the type of housing proposed, and revise related site improvements (see Exhibit "B" - Site Plan).
According to the original site plan staff report (NWSP 05-016), the proposed High Ridge PUD was
approved for 48 single-family detached units and 126 fee-simple townhouse units that would be developed
in one (1) phase. The applicant now proposes to develop a total of 110 single-family detached units (a net
reduction of 64 units).
The maximum density allowed by the Medium Density Residential (MeDR) land use classification is 9.68
dwelling units per acre, which would provide the developer a maximum of 178 units. The project was
previously approved for a total of 174 units, at a density of 9.43 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is
now requesting a total of 110 units (a reduction of 64 units), at a density of 5.96 dwelling units per acre.
The street and lot layouts where townhomes were previously proposed are also to be revised to
accommodate single-family detached homes. Due to the modified design, a revised plat for the project
must be submitted to the Engineering Division for their review and approval.
To date, the High Ridge PUD project has been approved for the following: an annexation (ANEX 05-001);
a future land use map amendment (LUAR 05-002) from Medium Density Residential (PBC MDR) with a
density of 5 dwelling units per acre and Low Density Residential (PBC LR-2) with a density of 2 dwelling
units per acre to the City's Medium Density Residential (MeDR) classification with a density of 9.68
dwelling units per acre; a rezoning (LUAR 05-002) from Single-Family Residential (PBC RS) to Planned Unit
Development (PUD); a new site plan (NWSP 05-016); a minor site plan modification (MMSP 06-051); and a
site plan time extension (SPTE 06-013), which extended site plan approval to September 20, 2007.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic: On April 27, 2005, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the originally
proposed residential development with a total of 174 units would meet the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. A reduction of 64 units is now proposed,
therefore, the project should continue to meet the traffic concurrency requirements,
ensuring an adequate level of service. However, a revised traffic impact analysis and
approval from the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division is required to update the
type and number of units proposed (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).

Memorandum No PZ 07-119

School: A revised concurrency determination from the Palm Beach County School District, which
approves the project for school concurrency purposes, is required prior to permitting (see
Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Utilities: The project is expected to require approximately 47,300 gallons of water per day. 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 needs for this project. The expected demand for sanitary sewer would be
approximately 21,285 gallons per day. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment
capacity is currently available to serve this project, subject to the applicant making a firm
reservation of capacity, following approval of the modified site plan (see Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval).
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).
Police/Fire: Police staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. The Fire Department expects to be
able to maintain an adequate level of service for the subject project with current or
anticipated staffing. Infrastructure requirements such as hydrants and roadway would be
addressed during plan reviews and the permitting process.
Access: The proposed site plan shows that three (3) points of ingress f egress are proposed along
High Ridge Road (see Exhibit "B" - Site Plan), identical to the previously approved site
plan. All openings are identical to each other in terms of width and function and no
driveway opening would be gated. This is a basic characteristic of new urbanism type of
developments. The southernmost opening would be located approximately 650 feet from
the intersection of High Ridge Road and Miner Road. The entrance would directly align
with the recreation area. The second of the three driveway openings, would be located
approximately 450 feet north of the southernmost opening. This opening would align with
the larger lot single-family detached homes proposed at the rear of the development and
also with the entrance to Cedar Ridge PUD on the opposite side of High Ridge Road. The
northernmost driveway opening is proposed approximately 170 feet south of the north
property line of the development. Similar to the middle opening, this third driveway would
align with the single-family homes propose at the rear of the development. The presence
of these three (3) driveway openings allows for sufficient ingress and egress of emergency
and service vehicles.
Streets: The proposed site plan depicts the dedication of a 15 foot wide strip along the west side of
High Ridge Road, running the entire length of the development (see Exhibit "B" - Site
Plan). The strip of land was required to be dedicated to Palm Beach County, due to their
designation of High Ridge Road as an ultimate 80-foot wide right-of-way. The typical
section of High Ridge Road on the previously approved site plan shows that the right-of-
way as 65 feet in width. High Ridge Road presently contains a northbound and

southbound travel lane but as required, would be improved to include a 12-foot wide
center-turn lane.
The applicant indicates that the proposed internal rights-of-way, consisting of widths of 45
feet and 50 feet, remain the same as previously approved, except for the street layout
where the town homes were previously proposed. Parallel, on-street parking spaces are
proposed at various locations throughout the development. An important component to a
new urban community is the use of alleys (subordinate street systems) throughout the
development. The 20-foot wide alleys located to the rear of the proposed homes would
have two (2) travel lanes, each 10 feet in width.
Parking: Dwelling units with two (2) or more bedrooms require a minimum of two (2) parking
spaces per unit. The project proposes 110 dwelling units, each with two (2) or more
bedrooms therefore a minimum of 220 parking spaces would be required. Each dwelling
unit would include a two (2)-car garage to meet the required parking spaces per unit. In
addition, the planned recreational amenity area would require a minimum of five (5)
parking spaces for guests. The site plan tabular data indicates that a total of 70 on-street
parking spaces are proposed throughout the development. The graphic shows that these
spaces would be dimensioned approximately nine (9) feet in width by 25 feet in length. A
minimum of 225 parking spaces are required, and according to the revised site plan a total
of 291 parking spaces would be provided, including a handicap accessible space near the
recreation area.
Landscape: The proposed landscape plan is similar to the previously approved landscape plan
regarding the quantity and type of plant materials. The proposed site plan tabular data
indicates that 6.77 acres (36.71 %) of the subject property would be pervious area. This
figure does not include the 1.72-acre lake tract. Over 1.92 acres (10.41%) of the subject
property would be set aside for buffer and open space areas. The subject site contained a
mix of native and non-native trees and has been cleared and graded. The mitigation plan
indicates that the property contained 220 trees, of which 13 trees would be preserved (12
pines and 1 oak). The total required mitigation inches for the project are 2,010, and the
developer proposes to mitigate a total of 3,337 inches (an additional 1,327 inches).
The Overall Landscape Quantities plant list indicates that 271 or 94% of the canopy trees
would be native and 34 or 58% of the palm trees would be native. Likewise, a total of
74% of the shrubsjgroundcover would be native. The plant list includes the following
species: Red Maple, Bougainvillea Tree, Gumbo Limbo, Silver Buttonwood, Seagrape,
Dahoon Holly, Ligustrum Tree form, Live Oak, Bald Cypress, Coconut palm, Alexander
palm, Medjool Date palm, Florida Royal palm, and Cocoplum.
The landscape plan proposes buffers around the perimeter of the development (see Exhibit
"B1" and "B2" - Landscape Plan). The east (front) landscape buffer along High Ridge
Road was previously approved at a width of eight (8) to ten (10) feet. However,
subsequent to approval, Palm Beach County has required the dedication of a 15-foot wide
strip along High Ridge Road for future right-of-way. There are no plans to widen High
Ridge Road due to its low level of traffic, so it is unlikely that the landscaping would be
removed in the future. The plant species proposed within this green space would include
the following: Live Oaks, Coconut palms, Crepe Jasmine, Ligustrum tree form, Dwarf

Yaupon Holly, and Redtip Cocoplum. The east perimeter landscape would also be
supplemented by additional landscaping at each entrance to the development, at the ends
of internal roads that terminate at the east property line, and within each lot that would
abut the east property line. The south landscaped "common" area adjacent to Miner Road
would be 15 feet in width and would have similar plant material as proposed within the
east landscaped area. The west landscape buffer is five (5) feet in width and would be
located adjacent to a buffer for High Ridge Country Club. The majority of the existing trees
to be preserved or relocated would be located in the west landscape buffer. The plant
material within this buffer would also include the following species: Pines, Coconut palms,
Sabal palms, Silver Buttonwood, Gumbo Limbo, and Red Tip Cocoplum. The north
landscape buffer would be seven (7) feet in width and contain similar plant material as the
other perimeter buffers. A total of ten (10) units and an internal street are proposed
within the proposed development along the north property line, adjacent to one (1) single-
family home in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Staff is recommending that a masonry
buffer wall be installed along the north property line to mitigate the impacts on the
adjacent lot (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
The private internal streets would be lined with Live Oaks and Dahoon Holly trees. Florida
Royal palm trees would be planted at the entrance to the recreational amenity area. The
pool and cabana area would be heavily landscaped with a variety of plant material. The
surrounding lake would have littoral plantings that include Canna Lily, Spike Rush, and
Water Lily. In addition, upland transitional plantings would include Bald Cypress, Red
Maple, and Leather Fern.
Varying planting schemes are proposed for the individual lots. The scheme would be
dependent upon the house model proposed on each lot. The Typical Unit Landscape Plans
indicate that each lot would have a multitude of plant material. A note on the site plan
indicates that all air conditioner units and similar mechanical equipment shall be screened
with landscaping which will achieve a height of 36 inches.
Buildings: The proposed site plan tabular data indicates that collectively, the lots would account for
9.12 acres or 49% of the entire property. The private rights-of-way would account for
5.30 acres or 29% of the site. The development's recreation area would account for
1. 74% of the site. This 0.32-acre recreation area would accommodate a swimming pool, a
1,333 square foot cabana j veranda facility, and a tot-lot. In addition, pedestrian
amenities such as marked pedestrian street crossings, bike racks, and park benches are
proposed. The recreation area would be located adjacent to the site's lake j water
management area. The project, designed according to new urban design principles,
proposes homeowner accessibility to the lake by all, so that it functions as a public amenity
rather than a private amenity enjoyed by few residents.
The Typical Lot Details of the single-family homes shows three (3) different types of lots
are proposed, namely a 40-foot wide, a 45-foot wide, and a 50-foot wide lot. The Detail
shows that the 40-foot wide lots and 50-foot wide lots would be 110 feet in depth, and the
45-foot wide lots would be 55 feet in depth. The proposed site plan indicates the smaller
45-foot wide lots would be located along the perimeter of the development, where
townhouses were previously proposed. The typical lot detail indicates that screen
enclosures and pools would be permitted within the building setbacks of the house. Solid

roof screen enclosures are prohibited. On the larger lots, the houses would be setback 15
feet from the front property line and the entry porch would be setback seven and one-half
(7-112) feet from the front property line and five (5) feet from the rear and side lot lines.
On the smaller lots, the houses and entry porch would be setback ten (10) feet from the
front property line and five (5) feet from the rear and side lot lines. The building setbacks,
as proposed, are generally smaller than conventional PUD type of projects but they are
common among New Urban type of developments. The proposed types of single-family
homes are varied, and would come in several models. The smallest home would be a one
(l)-story, three (3)-bedroom, two and one-half (2 112)-bath model with 1,875 square feet
of air-conditioned space, and a two (2)-car garage. The largest home would be a two (2)-
story, four (4)-bedroom, two and one-half (2 V2)-bath model with 3,009 square feet of air-
conditioned space, and a two (2)-car garage.
Design:
Associated with the proposed type of single-family residential development are a wide
variety of possible building designs (see Exhibits "B3 - B8" - Building Elevations). This is a
New Urbanism type of project with traditional and contemporary architectural styles. The
single-family homes would have varying roof styles. The tallest single-family detached
home would be 25 feet - seven (7) inches tall at the mean roof height and 30 feet - four
(4) inches tall at peak of roof.
The single-family homes would come in numerous varieties of wall and accent colors.
There are eight (8) different color schemes and each scheme has two (2) or three (3)
varying options. The color palette proposed contains a combination of light or white
pastels, and a soft color palette, such as light earth tones to match existing natural
vegetation in the corridor.
Lighting: Freestanding street lights, approximately 12 feet in height, will be located throughout the
development. The site plan notes that street lights are to be FPL coach lights with light
levels in compliance with residential requirements.
Signage: Project development signs are proposed on small posts labeled "10 columns". These posts
would be located on each side of the entrance drives. Its colors would be consistent with
the building colors proposed throughout the community. The sign face would be located in
the center of the post.
Public Art: The original site plan approval (NWSP 05-016) occurred prior to the adoption of Ordinance
05-060, which requires Art in Public Places. However, this subsequent request for a major
site plan modification after adoption of the aforementioned ordinance results in the project
having to comply with the Art in Public Places requirements (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of
Approval).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for a major site plan modification and recommends approval, 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.
