BACKGROUND
Scott and Cathy Freeland (property owners) are requesting a one (1) year site plan time extension for The
Learning Place II New Site Plan and Conditional Use Development Order (COUS 04-006), which was approved
by the City Commission on October 18, 2005. The site plan approval was valid for one (1) year from the date
of approval. If this request for a one (1) year time extension were approved, the expiration date of this site
plan would be extended to October 18, 2007.
The subject property is a vacant, undeveloped lot located on the east side of Lawrence Road approximately
1,100 feet north of Gateway Boulevard (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map). According to the staff report for the
approved site plan and conditional use (COUS 04-006), the proposed Learning Place II was approved for a
7,800 square foot day care center on a 0.839-acre parcel in the R-l-AAB zoning district. The proposed
nonresidential use is a conditional use in the R-l-AAB residential zoning district. Staff reviewed and
evaluated the project according to the standards for conditional uses, and reviewed the site plan for
compliance with the Land Development Regulations. The project was approved subject to 41 original
conditions of approval.
ANALYSIS
According to Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 11.2 Conditional Uses, a time limit is to be set within which the
proposed project is to be developed. A condition of site plan approval requires a period of one (1) year be
allowed to obtain a building permit for the project. Examples of building permits include but are not limited to
the following: Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, foundation, and structural. The Land Development
Regulations authorize the City Commission to approve site plan time extensions up to one (1) year, 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 application for time
extension on October 18, 2006, the expiration date of the site plan.
According to the justification submitted for the requested time extension (see Exhibit "B"), the applicant
explains that the delay was mostly due to securing financing for the project, which has now been completed
through Wachovia Bank, and an additional one (1) year is needed to complete the permit process.
A more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with (traffic) concurrency
requirements. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division reviewed the project traffic statement during the new
site plan approval process, but withheld approval of the project for traffic concurrency until additional
information was supplied by the applicant. The Traffic Division's response to the submitted traffic statement
required a revised traffic study prepared by a registered engineer in conjunction with the requirements of the
Traffic Performance Standards, and a build-out date. A traffic concurrency determination, although discussed
in the staff report in detail, was not included as a condition of site plan approval. Staff is therefore
recommending a condition of approval for the site plan time extension that requires traffic concurrency
approval, including a project build out date, prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project.
The site plan time extension is still subject to the original 41 conditions of the new site plan approval. Lastly,
no new land development regulations are now in place against which the project should be reviewed and
modified. As for application of the Art in Public Places ordinance, site plan approval occurred prior to
adoption of Ordinance 05-060.

SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for one (1) year time extension of the new site plan / conditional
use (COUS 04-006) for The Learning Place II project. If this request for extension were approved, the
expiration of this site plan would be extended to October 18, 2007. If this request for site plan time extension
is approved, all outstanding conditions of approval from the new site plan must still be satisfactorily addressed
during the building permit process. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission
shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval (see Exhibit "C").

Dear City Commission,
We are requesting an extension on our conditional use approval
to finish the permit process of our project. The reason for the
delay was mostly due to securing financing which has been
completed through Wachovia bank. The landscape plan and the
irrigation plan have also been completed. We are intent on moving
forward with this project and would need an additional 12 months
to complete the permit process. Thank you for your cooperation
on this matter.
Sincerely,
Scott and Cathy Freeland
