WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida has adopted a Comprehensive Plan and as part of said Plan a Future Land Use Element by Ordinance 89-38 in accordance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act; and WHEREAS, James and Francie Titcomb have applied to amend a portion of the Support Documents of the Future Land Use Element entitled Land Use Problems and Opportunities, Planning Area No. 1, Area 1.q; and WHEREAS, after public hearing and study, the City Commission deems it in the best interest of the inhabitants of said City to amend the text of the aforesaid Support Documents of the FutUre Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the City herein. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT: Section 1: The portion of the Support Documents of the Future Land Use Element entitled Land Use Problems and Opportunities, Planning Area 1, Area 1.q is hereby amended by adding the underlined text and by deleting the words and figures in the strike-through type as follows; This area includes a mixture of developed and undeveloped lots, under various City and County zoning districts. The City limits are irregular in this area, however, a precedent for annexation in this area has been established, and should continue ~ ...... ~ ...... ~ ~ ................. ~ or ~^~~ T~ +~ ~+~- *~ City ~-~* *~ ...... ~ *~ ..... .~ single ~" ~ .... ~"~ Existing land uses along the U.S. 1 frontage are predominantly retail, consequently, a Local Retail Commercial land use designation and C-3 Community Commercial zoning category are appropriate, both for lots which are presently in the City and those which will be annexed. These land use controls will improve the aesthetics along U.S. 1 and create a retail-oriented corridor. The lots along Old Dixie Highway, by contrast, are not as suitable for retail use, and therefore should be placed in a General Commercial land use category and C-4 zoning district. An appropriate use for commercial property in this area would be new car dealerships. The City should adopt site regulations for new car dealerships, which would include a minimum lot area of 2 acres. The City should encourage this type of land use at this location, and should encourage the acquisition and development of properties fronting on Old Dixie Highway, as a part of the development of lots which front on U.S.1. The single-family subdivisions in the vicinity of Old Dixie Highway, if annexed should be placed in the Medium Density Residential land use category and maintained primarily as a single-family neighborhood, with single-family and duplex zoning on the lots immediately abutting the FEC tracks. There are two portions of the Killian's Park subdivision, along Miller Road, which should be construed to be in the Local Retail (lots 9-14 and 16-20) and General Commercial (lots 21-29) land use categories, if development of these properties complies with the conditions setforth in the Coastal Management Element. Commercial projects which are adjacent to the single-family neighborhood should be designed so as to minimize the impacts to this neighborhood, consistent with the recommendations contained in the Coastal Management Element. Lastly, the Office land use cateqory Should be considered where it would provide a transition and/or buffer between areas with single family or duplex dwelling units and retail or more intense commercial land uses. Section 2: That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed. Section 3: Should any section or provision of this Ordinance or any portion thereof, any paragraph, sentence, or work be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the remainder of this Ordinance. Section 4: ordinance. Section 5: Authority is hereby granted to codify said This Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its final passage.
