EXPLANATION: In December, 2005, the City Commission authorized a Task Order with Glatting Jackson to develop a Master Plan for the Congress Avenue Boundless Park. Glatting Jackson assembled a design team that included landscape architects, a graphic designer, an ecologist, an architect, engineers and an artist who specializes in art in public spaces. The process began with a visioning workshop that included representatives from approximately 10 agencies that offer services for people with various disabilities, City staff and the design team. The consultants also met with each City Commissioner, the Mayor, the Recreation and Parks Board, the Boundless Park Steering Committee and the general public. In the workshop meetings, five (5) concepts were developed that encompassed several common themes such as a central clubhouse, pedestrian paths, shaded areas, varied terrain, environmental education opportunities, expanded use of water and a series of different experiences (Attachment A). Using these themes, Glatting Jackson developed three (3) conceptual plans (Attachment B). The plans were presented to the Recreation and Parks Board and Commissioner Ensler for comments, which were used to develop the final Master Plan. The Executive Summary and Master Plan are also attached (Attachment C). Major elements of the park include a therapeutic recreation center, a "Boundless Playground", a palm court to provide a shaded area for parents to view the playground, a splash fountain, a hobby boat pond which will expand the realm of play for those in wheelchairs and walkers, a koi pond to offer park users an opportunity to interact with nature and a series of paved trails that will meander through the various areas of the park. Also included will be picnic areas, a children's' performance platfonn, sensory gardens, environmental education areas and access to the hard-surface tennis courts. Chinese elements will be incorporated into the architecture and landscaping to acknowledge the City's sister city of Qufu. WXEL, located adjacent to the park, may be willing to allow additional parking in their parking lot and serve as a second entrance to the park to assure that the traffic impacts on Charter Drive North are minimal. A traffic study by Kimley Horn, Engineers, indicated that the proposed project will meet the requirements of Palm Beach County's Traffic Perfonnance Standards (Attachment D). The park can be constructed in phases depending on funding. Funds for construction will be raised through a fund raising campaign. It is recommended that a feasibility study be conducted to evaluate the funding opportunities and methods. Because of the unique nature of this park, it is anticipated that funding through grants, foundations and private donations will be viable. SIBULLETfNIFORMS\AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM DOC CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM The project will create a one-of-a-kind park for Boynton Beach. Research during the planning stages of the park revealed that there are no other parks that are completely barrier free in South Florida. When completed, the Congress Avenue Boundless Park will provide opportunities for everyone, regardless of their age or ability. The construction of the park and operational costs are identified in the Recreation and Parks Strategic Plan adopted by the City Commission in April 2006. PROGRAM IMP ACT: Development of the park will provide opportunities for programming for special populations such as the sight impaired, physically impaired and mentally challenged. Activities for those who cannot participate in the City's existing activities will be offered through the therapeutic center. These activities will include programs for children, teens and adults. The park will be accessible for adults with limitations who wish to bring their children or grandchildren to a park. The park will offer opportunities for all children to play together regardless of their abilities. Additionally, the therapeutic center can be used by groups for meetings. FISCAL IMPACT: The construction cost is estimated to be $ $8,700,000. Again, it is anticipated that these funds will be raised through grants, foundations and private donations. Personnel requirements will include: . Recreation Manager * $ 40,185 . Recreation Specialist 23,784 . Maintenance Worker Senior 23,784 $ 87,753 * This position will oversee the entire park including the tennis center Maintenance requirements will include $15,000 for equipment, and approximately $10,000 annually for maintenance supplies. ALTERNATIVES: Several alternatives exist including: . Phase the construction ofthe park. . Eliminate some of the elements of the park. . Do not build the park. 1 ~ru" Assistant to City Manager ~ Department Name Recreation and Parks City Attorney I Finance SIBULLETINIFORMS\AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM.DOC ~c GLATTING JACKSON - KERCHER ANGLIN LOPEZ RINEHART ATTACHMENT A Meeting Minutes Meeting Date: December 14, 2005 Project: City of Boynton Beach Congress Community Park GJ# 19131.0 Location: WXEL Conference Room in Boynton Beach Purpose~ · To develop a shared vision for the project · To develop an image of the project based on the development program and themes discussed.

Some key issues to address include: · how to create a sense of entry · how to incorporate existing facilities · how to protect or buffer adjacent land uses · how to create a seamless connection between uses e how to accommodate parking and circulation for both able-bodied and disabled users · how to cluster compatible uses or buffer incompatible uses Make sure that every element is labeled, and be prepared to present the rationale of your design to the group. i<',';"~:....~ --,~>~~_'b..:,;'i~::~~~':~ ,-<"C< ~.-.. /\;Al;,f:'~M'v:;':~..',/~~> :,j ;~: ;~~.--!:.~i;'f;;,:~' IJ I ! i I I i I I i I ",. . \: ,,\,",'\" '~. ..

Box 310 Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 Re: Congress Avenue Community Park SW Comer of Congress Avenue & Charter Drive Dear Ms. Rivers: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has performed a traffic impact evaluation for the above-mentioned property. The property to be developed is located on the southwest corner of Congress Avenue and Charter Drive in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The attached Figure 1 illustrates the general site location. Currently, the property consists of 21 tennis courts on 20.34 acres of City- owned park land. The existing tennis court facilities occupy approximately 8.69 acres of the total 20.34 acres ofland, and have been in existence for more than five years. The remaining 11.65 acres is undeveloped. It is proposed to develop a 4,000 square-foot recreation center and an 11.56-acre city park on the undeveloped portion of the site. The following traffic evaluation was performed according to the methodology set forth in the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance (TPSO). The current available data from Palm Beach County was used in the analysis, Trip Generation The daily and peak: hour characteristics were based on information published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' report, Trip Generation, Seventh Edition, currently adopted by Palm Beach County. The ITE trip generation rate for city parks is limited; therefore, the ITE trip generation rate for a county park was used in this analysis, which reflects a more conservative rate. The project is expected to generate a net new 119 daily trips, 6 AM peak hour trips, and 8 PM peak hour trips. Table 1 summarizes the daily and peak hour trips associated with the existing site and proposed project. . TEL 561 845 0665 FAX 561 863 8175 ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Ms. lady Rivers, May 26, 2006, Page 2 Project Significance The net peak hour trip generation for the site is 8 vehicles per hour. Thus, the maximum radius of development influence (RDI) was detennined to be the directly accessed link of the first accessed major thoroughfare for Test 1. Congress Avenue is the first directly accessed link of a major thoroughfare for the site. Based on a review of the adjacent land uses in the project's radius of influence, it was determined approximately 45 percent of project trips would be distributed to the north on Congress Avenue, 40 percent to south on Congress Avenue and 15 percent to the west along Charter Drive North. The project's maximum impact on the adjacent links is less than one percent of the two-way peak hour capacity; therefore, the impact to the transportation system is insignificant and no further evaluation is required. Project significance calculations are shown in Table 2. Driveway Evaluation The proposed driveway volumes depicted in Figure 2 are 771 daily trips, 41 AM peak hour trips and 79 PM peak hour trips. The driveway volumes are based on the existing and proposed uses. According to Palm Beach County's "Guide to Parking Lot and Street Access Design Criteria and Standards" this driveway is classified as an intermediate driveway. The site turning movement volumes are depicted on Figure 2. Turn Lane Requirements Palm Beach County Code requires a right-turn lane when the inbound peak hour right-turn volume is 75 vehicles or more and a left-turn lane when the inbound peak hour left-turn volume is greater than 30 vehicles. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed project AM and PM peak hour total volumes assigned to the project's access locations. In consideration of these volumes with respect to the Palm Beach County access design standards results in the determination that a left-turn ingress lane is warranted at the driveway on Charter Drive North. However, Charter Drive west of Congress Avenue is a minor City-maintained roadway and a left- turn lane is not expected to be needed at this location. -. ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Ms. lady Rivers, May 26,2006, Page 3 Conclusion The proposed project is to construct a city park and recreation center. Based upon the findings of this analysis, the proposed project meets the requirements of Palm Beach County's Traffic Performance Standards. Ifthere are any questions regarding this analysis, please do not hesitate to call either Tykus Holloway, EI, AICP or myself at (561)-845-0665.

EXPLANATION: The purpose ofthis presentation is to bring the commercial produced by the Links at Boynton Beach to the attention of the City Commission. This is the City Golf Course's first effort at using the medium of television as an advertising tooL The Links at Boynton Beach is eager to reach golfers in the local viewing area from West Palm Beach southward through Boca Raton. All commercials will be shown on the Golf Channel Thursday through Sunday from mid July 2006 through April 2007. PROGRAM IMPACT: By advertising exclusively on the Golf Channel we are assured that we are reaching a market where 99% of the viewers play golf in contrast to other mediums that depend on the national average that 9% of the population plays golf. Many golf courses advertise in sports section of the local newspaper. The cost of a typical ad (4x6) is $600 per day and gets lost in a sea of similar ads. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to produce the commercial was a total of $750. The commercial is the property of the Links at Boynton Beach and may be used on our new government channel if permitted. Each time the commercial is aired on the Golf Channel the cost is $16 which includes both market places that comprise the viewing area from West Palm Beach through Boca Raton. The commercial is scheduled to air 287 times from July 2006 through April 2007 for a total of $4592. The funds to pay for this advertising come from Budget Account # 411-2910-572.48-05.

INDUSTRIAL REFUSE SALES of Eaton Park, Florida for an estimated expenditure of: $180,000.00. CONTRACT PERIOD: AUGUST 1, 2006 TO JULY 31,2007 EXPLANATION: On June 21, 2006, Procurement Services received and opened (2) two proposals for the referenced bid. Metal Containers are used for commercial/residential accounts for the purpose of refuse collection. Both bids were reviewed by the Solid Waste Department and it was determined that Waste Equip. d/b/a Industrial Refuse Sales was the overall lowest, most responsible bidder who meets all specifications. Larry Quinn, Solid Waste Manager, concurs with this recommendation (see attached memo #06-073). The provisions of this bid award will allow for a one (1) year extension at the same terms, conditions, and prices subject to vendor acceptance, satisfactory performance and determination that the renewal is in the best interest of the City. PROGRAM IMP ACT: The purpose of this bid was to establish an annual fixed price for the purchase of metal containers and roll-otIs to be used throughout the City for commercial/multi-residential accounts for the purpose of refuse collection. FISCAL IMPACT: ACCOUNT: 431-2515-534-52-74 (Dumpsters) 431-2515-534-64-19 (Roll-offs) EXPENDITURE: $90,000.00 $90,000.00 Last Year's Expenditure: $170,000.00 (2005 - 2006) The increased cost is attributed to the growth of the city, not only residential but commercial accounts. ALTERNATIVES: The City has provided dumpsters for commercial refuse collection as well as residential refuse collection for several years. The alternative would be not to provide them and have each resident and commercial account provide their own container.

EXPLANATION: An integral part of an individual's training to become either an Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic requires a certain amount of field training, whether that training be in an emergency room or on a Fire Rescue Unit. The Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Department has been a training site for EMT and Paramedic clinical rotation for over 20 years. This agreement formalizes a cooperative relationship between the City and the District Board of Trustees of Palm Beach Community College for an additional 3 year period of time. PROGRAM IMPACT: Boynton Beach Fire Rescue crews are well acclimated to teaching and mentoring EMT and Paramedic students. Teaching others helps to keep our Fire Rescue Personnel's skills at their highest level. Monitoring and working with these students also becomes beneficial when hiring new recruits. Observing an employee's behaviors and interactions with other crew members and the public provides a window into how that potential employee will fit in with our rescue team personnel.

The "non-blended" dependent rate changes effective] 0/1/06 would be as follows: · 10.5% rate increase for HMO Dependent coverage · 44.6% rate increase for Blue Choice PPO Dependent Coverage · -1.0% rate decrease for Blue Options PPO Dependent Coverage EXPLANA TION: The City pays the full amount of covered employees' individual medical insurance premiums; however, employees are responsible for 100% of the dependent premium cost. Currently dependent rates are the same or "blended" for all three (3) dependent insurance plans. In order to minimize the cost of health insurance coverage for dependents so rates don't become so expensive that City employees cannot afford to cover their families, the recommendation for FY 2006/2007 is to split or "unblend" the rates for each of the three (3) plans. "Unblending" the rates will reduce the dependent medical insurance cost to employees if they enroll in the Blue Options PPO as BCBS FL has offered a ]% reduction in dependent rates for this plan. The Union has voted and agreed to ratifY this change. PROGRAM IMPACT: There is a positive overall impact for employees by "unblending" the dependent medical insurance cost as this will provide an opportunity for employees to realize a reduction in their dependent cost if they enroll in the PPO Blue Options plan. The Blue Options PPO plan was introduced less than one (1) year ago and already 33% of covered City employees are enrolled in this plan. Based on input and feedback from employees and insurance committee members, it is anticipated that a significant number of employees will move from the other two (2) plans to the Blue Options PPO plan for FY 2006/2007 during the upcoming annual open enrollment period. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City for Dependent Insurance Rates ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the MOU with the NCF&O, SEIU, Local ]227 and renew the City's BCBS FL medical insurance contract with an across the board 10.7% "blended" rate for dependent premium on all three (3) plans. As a result employees who are currently enrolled in the Blue Options PPO plan or those who change to the Blue Options PPO plan during annual open enrollment will be subject to a 10.7% rate increase for dependent coverage rather than a ] % rate decrease.

The "non-blended" dependent rate changes effective 10/1/06 would be as follows: · 10.5% rate increase for HMO Dependent coverage · 44.6% rate increase for Blue Choice PPO Dependent Coverage · -1.0% rate decrease for Blue Options PPO Dependent Coverage EXPLANATION: The City pays the full amount of covered employees' individual medical insurance premiums; however, employees are responsible for 100% ofthe dependent premium cost. Currently dependent rates are the same or "blended" for all three (3) dependent insurance plans. In order to minimize the cost of health insurance coverage for dependents so rates don't become so expensive that City employees cannot afford to cover their families, the recommendation for FY 2006/2007 is to split or "unblend" the rates for each of the three (3) plans. "Unblending" the rates will reduce the dependent medical insurance cost to employees ifthey enroll in the Blue Options PPO as BCBS FL has offered a 1 % reduction in dependent rates for this plan. The Union has voted and agreed to ratify this change. PROGRAM IMP ACT: There is a positive overall impact for employees by "unblending" the dependent medical insurance cost as this will provide an opportunity for employees to realize a reduction in their dependent cost if they enroll in the PPO Blue Options plan. The Blue Options PPO plan was introduced less than one (1) year ago and already 33% of covered City employees are enrolled in this plan. Based on input and feedback from employees and insurance committee members, it is anticipated that a significant number of employees will move from the other two (2) plans to the Blue Options PPO plan for FY 2006/2007 during the upcoming annual open enrollment period. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City for Dependent Insurance Rates ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the MOU with the NCF&O, SEIU, Local 1227 and renew the City's BCBS FL medical insurance contract with an across the board 10.7% "blended" rate for dependent premium on all three (3) plans. As a result employees who are currently enrolled in the Blue Options PPO plan or those who change to the Blue Options PPO plan during annual open enrollment will be subject to a 10.7% rate increase for dependent coverage rather than a I % rate decrease.

EXPLANA nON: This is the annual renewal of the employee health and life insurance programs. The renewal consists ofa 10.7% increase in the total cost of medical insurance benefits to the City for employee's medical insurance. This recommendation was reached after extensive negotiations with the insurance carrier and discussion with the City's Insurance Committee. There is a change to the cost of medical dependent insurance rates, which are paid 100% by the employee. In the past all rates were the same or "blended" for all three (3) dependent insurance plans. However, in order to minimize the cost of health insurance coverage for dependents so rates don't become so expensive that City employees cannot afford to cover their families, the recommendation for FY 2006/2007 is to split or "unblend" the rates for each of the three (3) plans as follows: . 10.5% rate increase for HMO Dependent coverage . 44.6% rate increase for Blue Choice PPO Dependent Coverage . -1.0% rate decrease for Blue Options PPO Dependent Coverage "Unblending" the rates will reduce the dependent medical insurance cost for employees if they enroll in the Blue Options PPO as BCBS FL has offered a 1 % reduction in dependent rates for this plan. The Jefferson-Pilot (Lincoln Financial Group) life and disability insurance and the Vision Care Incorporated Plan coverage have no change in benefits or rates. There is one (1) modification to the MetLife dental plan. The dental plan will be renewed with the addition of coverage for dental implants; however, there will be no change in the rate the City pays for this coverage. The Insurance Committee recommendations are attached as Exhibit A. Exhibit B is a comparison ofthe three (3) medical plans offered to employees by BCBS FL. Exhibit C is the City of Boynton Beach (employer) cost per employee for health insurance coverage and Exhibit D lists the employee dependent cost (payroll deduction) comparisons for dependent health insurance with non-blended rates for dependent coverage. PROGRAM IMPACT: The City pays the full premium for the employee's medical, dental, vision and life insurance; the employee pays the full premium for any dependent medical insurance. There is a positive overall impact for employees to "unblend" the dependent medical insurance cost as this will provide an opportunity for employees to realize a reduction in S\BULLETIN\FORMS\AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM.DOC CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM their dependent cost if they enroll in the PPO Blue Options plan. The recommended "non-blended" rate for dependent coverage required a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NCF&O, SEIU White Collar and Blue Collar Agreements and with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) Officer and Detective, Sergeant and Lieutenant Agreements. This change has been ratified by the members of all five (5) agreements and the MOU's are included for approval on the Consent Agenda for August 1, 2006. FISCAL IMPACT: . The City's cost for BCBS FL medical coverage for FY 2006/2007 is $4,493,178.24/yr for employees ($5,249.04 per employee per year). . The City's cost for Pooling Charges is $312,090 ($125,000 stop loss point). . The City's cost for Dental Coverage for FY 2006/2007 is $307,749/yr for employees ($359.51 per employee per year). Additionally the City pays $7.00 per month for employees who have dependent dental coverage or $24,612 per year. . The City's cost for Vision Care Coverage is $44,581/yr for employees ($52.08 per employee per year). . The City's cost for Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) is $215,712/yr for employees. The cost per employee per year varies based on the amount of coverage they have. Group Insurance Consultants, Inc. the consultants who provide support to City staff, are paid 2% ofthe annual premium through the provider, not from City line items. Their services include negotiating the contract, conducting detailed review, analysis and projects at key points throughout the year, resolving enrollment and billing problems for individuals, conducting informational meetings for employees including attending new hire orientation and assisting with annual open enrollment processes. ALTERNATIVES: . Decrease the benefits in the current plans resulting in lower premiums . Require participants to pay a portion of their individual premium .

In proper cases, dismissal may immediately occur. 12.1.4 No employee shall be disciplined or discharged without just cause. 12.2 POLICY 12.2.1 Counseling and written reprimands should be utilized as an element to motivate employees to choose behavior conducive to an individuals growth, development and most importantly to insure the successful operation of the City and its services. However, in certain circumstances punitive discipline actions will be necessary. There is no "fixed formula" for discipline, management reserves the right and prerogative to make disciplinary decisions based on repeated occurrences of varyirig incidents, past performance or severity of the incident. 12.2.2 Although progressive disciplinary actions are encouraged when circumstances support such use, the severity of misconduct and the circumstances shall determine the nature of the discipline. 12.2.3 A number of factors should be considered in determining the appropriate level of discipline to be taken at each successive step. Such factors may include time intervals between offenses, effectiveness of prior disciplinary actions, insubordination, employee willingness to improve, overall work performance and teamwork. 17 12.2.4 Certain misconduct is so contrary to the public interest that dismissal shall be the only appropriate measure. 12.2.5 The level of misconduct may differ in individ,ual cases from apparently similar incidents. The City retains the right to treat each occurrence on an individual basis without creating a precedent for situations that may arise in the future. This case-by-case method is designed to take individual circumstances and/or mitigating factors into account. These provisions are not to be construed as a limitation upon the rights of the City, but are to be used as a guide. 12.2.6 Regular employees may respond to discipline actions of counseling and written reprimands by requesting an administrative review by the Human Resources Director. Such request shall be made within ten (10) calendar days of the imposition of the discipline. The Human Resources Director shall review the disciplinary action in question and shall either sustain, reverse, or modifY the disciplinary action. The Human Resources Director's disposition shall be made within thirty (30) days of the employee's request for review. The Human Resources Director's disposition is final and not subject to further review. 12.2.7 Disciplinary actions for misconduct or serious misconduct older than a two (2) year period shall not be referred to or considered in any current disciplinary action. 12.2.8 The failure of immediate supervisors to document and/or take disciplinary actions for misconduct, or the failure to follow the completed disciplinary documents to Personnel, shall serve as grounds for disciplinary action.

Documentation of the discipline investigation or of the conduct shall be required on the part of the immediate supervisor in order to establish appropriate records. Human Resources will be available to assist in such investigations. In cases where investigations of a more substantial nature are required, the following types of administrative review shall be administered. 12.4.2 Administrative Review - Investigations of non-criminal violations conducted in the absence of immediate or conclusive evidence involving any City employee, with the exception of Police department employees. These investigations shall be conducted by the Department Director and Human Resources, who shall obtain all sufficient information, including documentation and/or sworn statements, in order to determine the necessity or level of disciplinary action.

The immediate supervisor shall immediately notify the Department Director and Human Resources after the suspension is issued, so that the matter . can be investigated. 12.4.3.3 A recommendation for disciplinary action may result from the findings of an investigation. If disciplinary measures. are not recommended after the investigation, the suspension with pay period shall not be counted as disciplinary in nature. A document confirming a favorable determination as to the matter should be made part of the employee's record. 12.5 TYPES OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION A. COUNSELING - Consists of the immediate supervisor warning the employee to correct or improve performance, work habits or behavior, and counseling the employee on improvements expected.

Written reprimands should be reflected on the employee;s performance appraisal along with any noted improvements. C. SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY - Consists of an employee being prohibited from returning to work until the specified period of suspension has passed or the forfeiture of vacation time, if agreed to by the employee.

Depending on circumstances and needs, the assistance of these employees may be required in the event of a civil emergency. B = Essential Personnel 39 C = Non-Essential Personnel The assistance of these employees is normally not required during a civil emergency event. Employees who are classified as category "A" (EssentiallMandatory Personnel) are expected to report for work at the beginning of their assigned shift, work their entire shift, and be prepared to work any overtime hours as may be required Under emergency conditions. Category "A" employees may also be required to report for work on unscheduled days or hours, and should be prepared to perform tasks outside their normal scope of duties.

Treatment & Disposal Board Executive Summary FN 2006/2007 WASTEWATER BUDGET The projected budget for 2006/2007 is $5,072,000 which is $550,000 over last year's budget and $553,000 over this year's projected expenditures. Due to this increase, we are requesting a rate increase for O&M and Reserves of 6.1 % from 2005/2006 rate, Rate in 2005/2006 for O&M & Reserve was $0.9263/1,000 gal; increased in 2006/2007 to $0.9832/1,000 gal. This increase is due primarily to the following four (4) line items: Regular Wages Sludge & Grit Hauling Electricity Insurance 2005/2006 981,000 539,000 790,000 220,000 $2,530,000 2006/2007 1,055,000 569,000 Added additional Mechanic Additional loads and CPI increase for Sludge on 09/01/06 FPL Rate Increase Property & Liability 1,150,000 314,000 $3,088,000 Testing for DEP's operating permit requirement funded under Cities' Capital Projects, NOTICE: Our Insurance Broker is unable to obtain an estimate for Property and Liability Insurance, which includes wind, fire, explosion, lightening, etc, until October 2006. Although we have increased rate for this item from $118,000 to $200,000, we have been advised this coverage could cost $2,000,000 to cover wind damage increasing our O&M to $1,30/1,000 gal, which would be a 30% increase. When the Board receives the Property and Liability Insurance estimate a determination can be made whether to cover the wind damage on property. RECLAIM USER RATE The projected budget for O&M for 2006/2007 is $461,000, which is $33,000 over our last year budget. Increases due to electricity and insurance rates. Our User Rate for reuse will increase from $0.25/1,000 gal to $0.26/1,000 gal. WASTEWATER RESERVE FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT It is estimated as of 06/30/2006 we will have $2,900,000 in the wastewater Reserve for Repair & Replacement. We anticipate minimum expenditures of $ 520,000:t of this years budget for various projects, The present rate for Repair & Replacement of $0,18/1 ,000 gal will generate $1,135,000 at minimum flow. POTENTIAL CAPITAL PROJECTS It is anticipated that during the next Fiscal Year the Board will require $4,800,000 from each city for construction of Solid Waste Authority Pelletization Project and construction of Reclaim Expansion, F:\docs\Sudget\fy2006-2C07\Exec Summary 0607,doc 7/12/2006 2:18:47 PM South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment & Disposal Board SALIENT BUDGET CHANGES 2006 - 2007 WASTEWATER OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (Cost Distributed to Cities by Flows) Budget 2005/2006 Projected 2005/2006 Budget 2006/2007 OTAL 0 & M BUDGET 4,522.000 4,519,000 5,072.000 (12.1% loc) ERSONNEL SERVICES - TOTAL 1 A54,000 1,377,000 1,567,000 (7.7% loc) 1212 Regular Wages 4% Normal annual increase Added additional Mechanic ERVICES - TOTAL 763,000 758,000 779,000 (2.0% loc) 3410 Sludge Hauling 455,475 460,000 475,000 (4.0% Inc) Rate increased from $17.25 per cu yd to $18.25 per cu yd 3411 Grit Hauling 84,000 94,000 Cities increasing vactor truck disposal. 94,000 (12.0% Inc) .PERA TIONS & MAINTENANCE 1,325,000 1,508,000 1,791,000 (35.0% loc) 4500 Property & Liability Ins 790,000 1,000,000 1,150,000 (46.0% Inc) FPL rate increases 220,000 212,000 314,000 (42.0% Inc) Property & Liability coverage (Windstorm coverage) 4300 Electricity :HEMICALS & SUPPLIES - TOTAL 835,000 789,000 859,000 (3.0% loc) No major line item increase .PERA TING CONTINGENCY 50,000 0 Not utilized for two years o (0% loc) :NGINEERING 95,000 87,000 95,000 (0% tnc) Page 1 of 3 12/2006 1:27:01 PM \docs \Budget\fy2006-2007\SaiientB udget06 [17 ,doc South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment & Disposal Board RECLAIM OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (Cost distributed to user by flow) Budget 2005/2006 Projected Budget 2005/2006 2006/2007 Total Reclaim O&M Budaet 428,000 398,000 461,000 Page 3 of 3 12/2006 1 :27:01 PM Idocs \Budg et\fy2006-2007\SalientBudgeto607 ,doc (8% loc) ~~~.....--_.~~~'~----~--->-~"-~---~---'--~-'-'" ,~-~",-"--~-~----,-",",-"-,_._,~.,".._..~-,,._,-,,...~~.._~._-----_..--------'--""----~--- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ............ >.' .............. . . . . . . . . . . . .. .' . . . . . . .. . ......... -.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......... .. ......................... . ............. ...... . . . . . , ' . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .......... . ............ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ............. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ............ . . . . . . . . . . .

Ibis master plan was developed with extensive input from vanous non-profit organizations throughout Palm Beach County starting with a full day Visioning Workshop. The resulting plan is designed to be the county's first <'boundless park," a place where all children (and adults), with and without disabilities, can develop essential skills for life as they learn together through play. The central themes of the park include a <<Boundless Playground," serving kids of all ages and abilities, as well as Chinese garden design principles in honor of Boynton Beach's Chinese sister city Qufu. Over 30 people participated in the Workshop, including representatives of social services agencies such as The Arc, United Way of Palm Beach County, the Lions Club, Coalition for Independent Living Options and United Cerebral Palsy. Because the total project is estimated to cost between $10-12 million, BBRPD has determined that a fund raising feasibility study should be conducted to determine sources of leadership and funding for the project. This effort will enable the City of Boynton Beach to ensure that local citizens are not burdened with the full cost of the facilities added to their tax bills. The Waters Pelton Organization, Inc. (WPO), has submitted this proposal to conduct the study, and will work closely with BBRPD's representatives in carrying out this assignment. Charlotte Pelton, President of the firm, will serve as the Manag;ng Consultant for the study, with senior development/administrative staff assisting in the effort Included in this document is a proposed outline of study activities, methodology for completing the process in a timely and efficient fashion, and a statement of associated costs. 1HE W,HERS PELTON ORG.\NIBTION, INC. 2 Fund Raising , Planning .

The related amendments include the following: 1) Establishment of the Mixed Use-Core (MXC) land use classifIcation; 2) Establishment ofthe Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) district under the Special High Density Residential (SHDR) land use classifIcation for Study Areas I and V; 3) The designation of the downtown as an Urban Central Business District which allows for an increase in the threshold for Developments of Regional Impact (DRI); ind 4) The designation of a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) for portions of the CRA. In part, specifIc recommended changes include: 1) support for presentation of historic structures, either as their intended uses or adaptively reused; 2) expanding the emphasis on preservation of existing single-family neighborhoods east of Federal Highway; 3) provisions for gas stations and auto repair facilities in all planning areas except Area III, subject to established locational and design criteria; and 4) as indicated above, the adjustment of a planning area boundary allow for Mixed Use developments on all comers of the Woolbright Road - Federal Highway intersection.

In the intervening five years, the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency have taken a number of steps toward implementation of the plan. Both have realized that an updating of the plan is warranted to recognize the achievements to date, and to ensure that future implementation measures produce the results envisioned in the original plan. Redevelopment efforts in the City of Boynton Beach commenced in August 1981 when the City established the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in accordance with Chapter 163, Part 3, F.S. On May 4, 1982, the City of Boynton Beach declared a portion of the downtown area to be suffering from slum and blighted conditions, as evidenced in Resolution 82-KK, and established a Community Redevelopment Area (also referred to as CRA) that initially contained 180 acres. The original boundary of the CRA included a core portion of the Federal Highway corridor from the Boynton Canal on the north to SE 6th Avenue on the south. In April of 1983, pursuant to its finding of necessity, the City commenced preparation of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan comprising a redevelopment program pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 as amended from time to time. The plan was subsequently adopted on August 21, 1984. The Redevelopment Plan examined the current conditions at that time, the market opportunities, and made some key recommendations for redevelopment that focused on the downtown area, which centered on Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway. Broadly, the plan recommended the creation of a unique identity for downtown that should be pedestrian friendly, marine focused and oriented toward the water. To achieve this broad goal, the plan made three key recommendations. First, the plan recommended construction of a mixed use development consisting of a public waterfront park, specialty retail and residential uses. Next, the plan recommended construction of a hotel with convention space in order to recapture the City's share of the tourism industry. The third broad recommendation was the creation of a marina and marine related uses east of Federal Highway along the Intracoastal Waterway (JCW). At the time that the original Community Redevelopment Plan was prepared and those recommendations were made, the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) was planning roadway improvements in the area. The DOT had previously made improvements to Boynton Beach Boulevard. The next phase of planned work was to construct a bridge at Boynton Beach Boulevard that spanned the JCW, and then remove the existing bridge at Ocean A venue. The redevelopment plan contained recommendations that were based upon the DOT roadway work being completed. The plan was specific in stating that the success of the recommended redevelopment concepts would hinge upon the construction of the Boynton Beach Boulevard bridge, and removal of the Ocean Avenue bridge to the south. The planned bridge, however, was never constructed because of neighborhood preservation issues raised by residents, and the Ocean Avenue bridge continues to provide access to the east in this immediate area. The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency subsequently expanded the boundary of the original CRA. The expanded area included an additional 518.76 acres of land lying west of the Florida East Coast Railroad to Interstate 95, between the 2 Boynton Canal on the north and Ocean Avenue on the south. The redevelopment plan text was updated to provide recommendations for the expanded area, which included focusing on Boynton Beach Boulevard as a gateway to Boynton Beach and preservation of the residential character of the expanded CRA area, which was composed mainly of residential land uses. In September 1996, the City of Boynton Beach conducted a citywide visioning seSSIOn. More than 100 community representatives participated in the American Assembly Process, which resulted in a policy statement that addressed seven key issues of concern. Among these were commercial revitalization and economic development. The City utilized this policy statement to commence the process of specific planning efforts for the redevelopment of downtown and the marina areas, as well as for major roadway corridors. These efforts resulted in the Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan (20/20 Plan) that was completed in September 1998. The 20/20 Plan addressed the seven key issues identified during the American Assembly Process and restated them in terms of specific goals and objectives. A number of these goals and objectives will be addressed in part or in whole through the preparation of the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. Generally, these focus on uses and needed development standards within the Federal Highway Corridor, and are summarized as follows: Goal 2: Commercial Revitalization Objective 2.1 - Expand the CRA boundary to increase financial resources during redevelopment plan implementation. 3 Objective 2.4 - Prepare overall design standards for the entire length of Federal Highway within the City. Goal 3: Downtown Redevelopment Objective 3.1 - Create specific areas in the downtown that are pedestrian and bicycle friendly, and where mixed uses and infill development are encouraged. Objective 3.2 - Prepare conceptual area plans and design criteria for the cultural center/marina area district that addresses such issues as mixed uses, signage and landscaping. Through the documented conditions of slum and blight contained in the 20/20 Plan, the CRA board evidenced the need to expand the CRA to include those portions of the Federal Highway Corridor to both the north and south City limits, consistent with Objective 2.1 of the 20/20 Plan. These are referred to as the North Subarea and the South Subarea. While the boundaries were expanded, the redevelopment plan text was not updated to include this additional land area. This plan, therefore, will serve two purposes. First, it is a redevelopment plan for the Federal Highway Corridor that focuses on uses and development standards along Federal Highway. Second, it is of sufficient scope and format to meet the requirements of Chapter 163.362 to allow for the Community Redevelopment Plan text update for the expanded CRA area. The boundaries of this expanded area, on which this redevelopment plan IS focused, are the city limits on the north, the ICW on the east, the municipal boundary on the south, and the Florida East Coast Railroad and Palm Boulevard on the west. The entire Federal Highway Corridor area now contains approximately 1,094.98 acres. The legal description for the North and South Subareas is contained in the Appendix. Map 4 1.1, which is contained on page 6, depicts the boundaries of the Federal Highway Corridor, including the North and South Subareas of the CRA that were added. The boundaries of the expanded Community Redevelopment Area were drawn to take into account the need for physical redevelopment as well as the need to protect neighborhood areas from the presence of blighting influences. Properties located within the redevelopment area that are not presently in need of redevelopment assistance, are threatened by the nearby presence of blighting conditions and, therefore, are included to preserve their long term viability. As a general standard, the boundary of a proposed redevelopment area includes areas which clearly meet the slum or blight criteria, as well as areas that may not be considered individually, but which are otherwise necessary to achieve the objective of eliminating blight and preventing its spread. Additionally, some physically sound areas were included in the expanded redevelopment area based on their functional relationship to the Federal Highway Corridor and the uses contiguous to it. 5 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan PLANNING AREAS 1.1 . ~l)l L !

A new future land use category, Mixed Use-Core (MXC) was added to the Comprehensive Plan to allow development in the downtown area to increase in density to a maximum density of 80 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 4.0. While the plan recommended that no maximum density be set, both Florida Statute Chapter 163 and the Florida Administrative Code, which set minimum criteria for local comprehensive plans require the statement of maximum densities and intensities for all land use categories. Coupled with this Comprehensive Plan amendment, the City's Zoning Code was amended to establish the Mixed Use-High Intensity and Mixed Use-Low Intensity zoning districts to be consistent with the newly- created Mixed Use Core and the existing Mixed Use land use categories. The Special High Density Residential (SHDR) land use category In the Comprehensive Plan was redefined to allow its use for redevelopment in Study Areas I and V, and a companion zoning district, Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) was adopted to encourage assembly of small parcels of land for redevelopment and allows for residential densities of 20 dulac. The IPUD regulations are similar to the existing PUD regulations; however, the IPUD regulations are written for development on parcels ranging from one to five acres, whereas, the PUD regulations have a minimum parcel size of five acres. 7 In 2003, the Comprehensive Plan was amended to designate a portion of the downtown as an Urban Central Business District. This designation allows an increase in the thresholds for Developments of Regional Impact (DRI); thereby, encouraging large- scale developments by removing the threat of heightened scrutiny and review by both State and regional agencies. In 2005, the City and Palm Beach County agreed to the establishment of a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) for portions of the Community Redevelopment Area, including the portion of the Federal Highway Corridor Study area between the Boynton Canal and Woolbright Road. The Comprehensive Plan amendments, adopted by both the City and Palm Beach County, allow approval of developments within the TCEA that would otherwise exceed traffic concurrency requirements. To offset the traffic impacts, the City and the CRA will implement specific measures to increase opportunities for multi-modal transportation. Map 2.1, found on page 9, shows the areas covered by the Urban CBD and the TCEA. Impacts of the implementation measures will be discussed later in this study update. 8 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan TCEA and Urban CaD Map 2.1 1, If~~Q:I~, \ ~ ;I~ ~~~T~IJsEA= ! ~~J~- ~) ....~re l1i ~u~' .>i..n ~~ ~INlET Ji 2fl.V :.: '" ntl r -{ SHORE - . r.../. ~ ~ \ I ~~ g; 'I' 13TH - r.>TTT '3TH _L.,..,-ru i t'(!J I 12T~ 12tH f I \"'. 11TH en I _~,~' lj \~ -~ \ 9~ ~~ ~\ rl / ~r ~ 1/ ) ~~ / . 1t==1 z I 1\ S "--'lIt ~ [\/ ~ COCONUT - -~ .:; l-J 1sT lCEAN 1ST J"I ~ \ -jST ~ /i.io 3R) 4T Il. ~ :;':1 ~ 1m I r::r -(~ .._~~ 1 1\ ~ ~ ) Legend Planning Area ~ TCEA 1:1 Urban CBD 0 ll> '" ~5lH 6lH .2!!!- 7TH ~ - l1i ~2ND '~ HJDSON Emffi I ~z ~ x..><Jl(. t::. 5tH ... }""' .w:L -;,./ 7TH 4TH 5TH ~. o ~!jUR c5 ~e:l ~' ----- o N 8lH ~ 9lH 10TH 11TH 12TH ~ 13T '4 fH \Ill Da.BR GHT /foRT ~ MAIN / sOUTH II HIG ~ PO~T ~ ~,!(II !~ /1U r -""''' h ~ i ~ TIDPlCALrl n T 1ST ill ,5TH 2OT1i 2.000 1.000 o 2.000 Feet 9 SECTION III COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of the City of Boynton Beach was established in May 1982 pursuant to Resolution 82-KK. As authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act, the City of Boynton Beach has delegated powers to the Boynton Beach CRA allowed under Florida Statutes that are necessary and convenient to undertake redevelopment efforts. The powers of the CRA are contained in Section 163.370, Florida Statutes. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following activities: o Acquire property deemed necessary for community redevelopment, except that the use of eminent domain shall require specific approval from the City Commission; o Hold, improve, clear, or prepare any acquired property for redevelopment; o Dispose of property acquired within the Community Redevelopment Area for uses in accordance with the adopted community redevelopment plan; o Carry out programs of repair and rehabilitation; o Plan for and assist in the relocation of persons displaced by redevelopment activities; o Receive and utilize tax increment revenues to fund redevelopment activities; o Appropriate such funds and make such expenditures as are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969; and o Close, vacate, plan, or replan streets, roads, sidewalks, ways or other places. The CRA may undertake any additional action not specifically mentioned above if such action is necessary to undertake redevelopment efforts, except that the following IO powers remain under the control of the Boynton Beach City Commission, pursuant to Section 163.358, Florida Statutes: o The power to determine an area to be a slum or blighted area, or combination thereof; to designate such area as appropriate for community redevelopment; and to hold any public hearings required with respect thereto; o The power to grant final approval to community redevelopment plans and modifications thereof; o The power to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds as set forth In Section 163.385, Florida Statutes; o The power to approve the acqUIsItlon, demolition, removal, or disposal of property as provided in Section 163.370(3), Florida Statutes, and the power to assume the responsibility to bear loss as provided in Section 163.370(3), Florida Statutes; and, o The power to approve the development of community policing innovations. 11 SECTION IV ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Overview General Description The Federal Highway Conidor Community Redevelopment Area, including the North and South Subareas of the CRA, is comprised of approximately 1,095 acres. The Corridor contains a variety of uses broadly described as including various intensities of residential and commercial uses; light industrial uses; office uses; recreational areas; and, several conservation overlay sites. There are also vacant tracts within the area, as well as instances of non-residential developed parcels that are under utilized or developed but abandoned; victims of economic difficulties. The redevelopment area can be divided into smaller planning subareas. These smaller planning areas are defined by general development characteristics. Map 4.1, which is shown on page 14, depicts the five small planning areas within the conidor. Originally, the boundary lines of the planning areas were drawn along geographic features such as streets or water features. Where no such features existed, boundaries were extended across properties without regards to lot lines, thus leaving some ambiguity as to which planning area a property was located. The update has revised boundaries to follow property lines, where possible to give a greater degree of certainty to the plan. Area I extends from the C-16 Canal to the north City limits and is coincidental with the North Subarea of the expanded CRA. Area II lies between the C-16 canal and just south of a line extended from NE 6th Avenue across Federal Highway to the Intracoastal Waterway (JCW). Martin Luther King Boulevard is centrally located in this 12 planning area. Area III extends from the southern edge of the second planning area southward to a line extended from SE 2nd Avenue across Federal Highway to the ICW. Area III includes both Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. Area IV extends from the southern edge of the third planning area south to a line extended from approximately SW 18th Avenue to the ICW. The south property lines of the two shopping centers on the south side of Woolbright Road mark the new southern edge of planning Area IV. The last planning area, Area V, lies between the southern edge of the fourth planning area and the municipal limits on the south. Note that while some planning areas share a few similar characteristics, such as Areas IV and V that coincidently contain multifamily uses on the east side, there are sufficient differences between the various areas to warrant individualized attention to each one. Differences include, for example, uses, densities, intensities and proximity to the core downtown business district. Each of these small planning areas plays an important role in the redevelopment of the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Area as a whole. 13 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan PLANNING AREAS Map 4.1 3,500 1.750 0 3,500 Feet 14 Land Use - Land use designations within the entire Federal Highway Corridor are extremely varied. Detailed discussions of each planning area that follow this overview each contain an exhibit that depicts the Future Land Use Plan Map designations that exist within the subject planning area. The future land use designations information is displayed in Table 4.1, which is below. As Table 4.1 demonstrates, there are a variety ofland use designations within the Corridor. While the central portion of the Federal Highway Corridor centered on the downtown area is largely designated Mixed Use and Mixed Use-Core, the other areas feature a mix of designations without any apparent order or hierarchy ofland uses.

Sign designs have no unifying theme with regard to 15 architectural details, landscaping, color, size or placement. Additionally, some signs are in need of maintenance or repair. Overall, commercial signage detracts from the appearance of the corridor. It was also noted that there are two signs in different places on the north end of the corridor that purport to mark the municipal boundaries. Conversely, the city limits on the south end are not clearly marked. Zoning & Housing Units - Zoning districts and parcels for residential uses are depicted in the exhibits included in the detailed discussions of the planning areas that follow this overview. At the time of the original plan, there were an estimated 4,739 residential units within the redevelopment area. Through March 2006, developments have been approved which will add 2,949 residential units within the study area. This number includes built and approved but unbuilt units. Table 4.2, below, presents the zoning districts identified in the area.

Federal Highway itself is a major north-south arterial connecting the eastern seaboard of the United States. It runs through the eastern, mainland portion of Florida. Through the City of Boynton Beach, it is currently a four-lane divided highway with bike lanes in both directions and sidewalks along both sides. The speed limit within the city limits varies between 35 MPH and 40 MPH. Map 4.2, on page 21, depicts the street pattern within the area. The Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad also runs along the eastern portion of Florida and, in the City of Boynton Beach, just west of Federal Highway, forming the western boundary of the Corridor study area from the C-16 canal southward. Since the railroad tracks run along the west side of Federal Highway throughout the City, it tends to separate the more commercial Federal Highway area from the more residential western areas. The locations at which the tracks can be crossed are important for access and traffic circulation between the west side and the east side. Each of the cross streets at the signalized intersections on Federal Highway provides access to the west including FEC railroad crossings. The majority of other streets, however, do not cross the tracks. The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (RT A) has established as one of its long term goals to partner with stakeholders to implement premium transit services along the FEC Corridor from Miami-Dade to Martin counties. The possibility of passenger rail service with a station in the downtown area would provide an opportunity 17 for a transit-oriented-development (TOD) surrounding the station. It would also provide an opportunity for establishing a multi-modal transfer station in this area. Currently, Palm Tran offers motorized transit service through the study area with two routes: · Route I offers north-south service through the Federal Highway Corridor connecting riders from the Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens to the Mizner Park area of Boca Raton. Twenty-minute service is provided Monday through Friday, with thirty-minute service on Saturdays and sixty-minute service provided on Sundays. · Route 71 provides service to the area via Boynton Beach Boulevard, Ocean A venue and Federal Highway. Sixty-minute service is provided seven days a week. The Route also provides service to the Boynton Beach Tri-Rail Station and the Boynton Beach Mall. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has developed a system for access management for roadways such as Federal Highway. Access management is a comprehensive approach to the control and regulation of all aspects of highway access. This is done by assigning a specific classification to roadways. These classifications contain separation standards for access features such as driveways, medians and signals. The portion of Federal Highway located within the City of Boynton Beach is classified by FDOT as an "urban minor arterial" with an Access Classification of "5, Restrictive." Restrictive means the opposing lanes are separated by a median. For a Classification 5, the desirable driveway connection spacing is 245 feet, the desirable median opening spacing for a directional opening (limited turning movements allowed) is 660 feet and for a full opening (all turning movements allowed) is 1,320 feet. Desirable spacing between traffic signals is 1,320 feet. ]8 The Palm Beach County Traffic Division maintains monitoring traffic counting sites, both along Federal Highway and on major east-west roads within or immediately adjacent to, the study area. 19 Table 4.3-Peak 2005 Traffic Counts 2002 2005 Growth STREET NAME LOCATION PEAK PEAK Rate FEDERAL HIGHWAY 500' NofGatewayBlvd 18,970 20,509 +2.64% FEDERAL HIGHWAY 200' N of Ocean Blvd. 28,057 27,765 -0.35% FEDERAL HIGHWAY 200' S of Boynton Canal 21,668 26,666 +7.16% FEDERAL HIGHWAY 800' N ofW oolbright Rd 27,398 27,164 -0.28% FEDERAL HIGHWAY 100' S ofWoolbrightRd 31,415 31,509 +0.10% GATEWAY BLVD. 200' E ofI-95 22,725 26,276 +4.96% BOYNTON BEACH BLVD 600' E of 1-95 33,123 34,557 +1.42% BOYNTON BEACH BLVD 150' W ofNE 4th Ave 17,940 17,887 -0.10% OCEAN AVE 100' W ofICCW 9,201 6,836 -9.43% WOOLBRIGHT RD 600' E ofI-95 39,965 39,243 -0.61% WOOLBRIGHT RD 100' W ofICCW 12,047 12,750 +1.91% Source: Palm Beach County Traffic Division, "Peak 2005 Traffic Counts", June 20, 2005 School Capacity - In 2002, Palm Beach County and its municipalities entered into an interlocal agreement with the School District to establish a level of service for public education facilities and to provide facilities at the adopted level of service to meet the demands of new residential development concurrently with demands for other necessary services such as transportation, potable water, wastewater, etc. This means that any proposed increase in residential densities must be reviewed by the School District to determine its impacts on local public school capacity. Infrastructure - The City of Boynton Beach 1996 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report indicates that the entire Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Area is served by public water and sewer lines provided by the City. Map 4.3 on page 23, shows the layout of public water lines. Map 4.4 on page 24, shows the layout of sewer lines within the study area. 20 Open Space Areas - The Federal Highway Corridor features a number of both active and passive public parks and recreational areas. Three of these, Intracoastal Park, Boat Ramp Park and Jaycee Park have an orientation toward the Intracoastal Waterway. In addition to the public parks, there are approximately twelve points of access to the water by way of public streets.

Area I Overview Planning Area I extends from the northern city limits to the C-16 canal, which forms a physical and psychological boundary from the adjacent planning area to the south. Within this portion of the corridor, the FEC railroad right-of-way is contiguous to Federal Highway on the west side, while the western boundary of the corridor study area extends west of that, lying along 4th Street, which is also Palm Boulevard. The eastern side of this planning area extends to the Boynton Beach municipal limits that is roughly the centerline of the ICWW in this area. Street Layout and Circulation The FEC rail line, which is contiguous to and slightly elevated above Federal Highway in this area, serves to sever the continuity of this portion of the corridor and directly affects the development appearance of it. Land lying west of the tracks in the study area is not readily noticeable or highly visible. Additionally, the railway severely limits access from the west onto Federal Highway. Planning Area I has only two access points from the west onto Federal Highway. The first is at Gateway Boulevard, which is a signalized intersection with full median opemngs. Because Gateway Boulevard provides direct access to and from Interstate-95, this intersection is a major node. The second access is from NE 15th Avenue, which is roughly 700 feet north of the C-16 Canal; the southern edge of this planning area. The intersection ofNE 15th A venue provides a full median opening, but it is not a signalized intersection. Additionally, NE 15th Avenue is a local street that provides access to the surrounding single family residential neighborhood that lies to the west of Federal Highway. 30 In addition to limiting access, the rail line, in conjunction with the Federal Highway right-of-way, defines the appearance of the corridor. The expanse of the two rights of way convey an appearance of very low density or open area, which is underscored by the landscaping enhancements completed by the FDOT. As a result, a sense of community exists largely only on the eastern side of Federal Highway in planning Area I. Land within the eastern portion of Planning Area I is constrained by Federal Highway on the west and the Intracoastal Waterway on the east. Parcels tend to be narrow and extend the full width between Federal Highway and the ICW. As a result, there are numerous direct street and driveway access points on the east side of the planning area. The driveway separation in this area, however, is generally close to the 245-foot separation that is considered desirable by the FDOT for this portion of Federal Highway. Zoning The zoning districts in planning Area I and the existing uses are not inconsistent. The Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, however, noted that one multi-family development, which is located on the ICW in roughly the middle of the planning area, has an existing density of 38.3, which exceeds the land use plan and zoning designation of 10.8 dwelling units per acre. There are a number of residential parcels or lots in the central and northern portion of Area I east of Federal Highway that are either under utilized or vacant. Similarly, there are commercially zoned parcels that are either vacant or developed but not to the level of development permitted under the zoning regulations. The commercial zoning districts on the east side of Federal Highway are long and narrow, paralleling the roadway. Commercial lands in this location were likely to have been established many decades ago to benefit from the railroad. At that time, the train was important 31 to and served the community, and Federal Highway was a small, two lane road. Over the years, however, the importance of the railroad to the community has diminished. At the same time, Federal Highway has been widened and medians added to address the shift in modes of transportation. The necessary right-of-way to accomplish the roadway improvements was taken from the east side of Federal Highway since the west side bordered the FEe. The end result is commercial parcels of land of marginal depth that invite strip development or isolated free standing uses that lack landscaping; a desirable transition to the adjacent residential properties; and, often, feature inadequate parking. Table 4.4 depicts the zoning districts that exist in Area I.

The east side Federal Highway has a variety of housing and housing conditions that range in allowable zoning density from 5.4 to 20.0 units per acre. Two recreational areas that provide access to the Intracoastal Waterway are located on the east side. The west side of Federal Highway, beyond the FEC railroad, contains less varied housing, and conditions are not as varied. Table 4.5 shows the land use districts that exist in planning Area I. 32 Abbreviation LDR HDR SHDR Table 4.5.--Area I Existing Land Use Designations Land Use Designation Density Allowed Low Density Residential 4.84 du/ac High Density Residential 10.80 du/ac Special High Density 20.00 du/ac Residential LRC Local Retail R Recreational (J) Also designated mixed use ifuse and development meet specified requirements Source: City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map", updated March 2006. Residential - On the east side of Federal Highway, there are a few lower density communities. The ones on the southernmost end of the planning area are in stabile condition, and showing signs of upward transition. This neighborhood appears to have been constructed around the 1950s as a first wave of retirement homes. It was noted that redevelopment in these lower density communities has started to occur, beginning particularly with those lots that front on the Intracoastal Waterway. Modest homes in these areas are giving way to large, two story residential units. The lower density community on the northern end of Area I appears older than its southern counterpart, and consists largely of moderate to marginal housing with an overall appearance of a neighborhood in decline. Numerous newer multi-family communities exist throughout this planning area that range from attractive to exclusive in appearance. Two mobile home parks that existed at the time of the original study are being replaced with recently approved townhouse and multi-family condominiums. The west side of Federal Highway within the corridor study area, north of Gateway Boulevard, contains a planned unit development that is separated and insulated from Federal Highway. The development is elevated well above the grade level of Federal Highway, and has berming and fencing on its perimeter, with no direct access onto the highway. South of Gateway 33 Boulevard is a commercial node and then a large area of modest residential units in need of rehabilitation and a recently completed zero-lot line residential development. A mobile home park that existed at the time of the study has been approved for redevelopment as a townhouse community. Commercial - Some commercial uses flank portions of Federal Highway. On the east side of Federal Highway, commercial land uses include vacant lands; several one-story shopping plazas; a motel; restaurants; and, both an active and an abandoned gas station. As noted above, parcel depth has been diminished over the years due to improvements to Federal Highway. Conversion of several of these commercial areas to high density residential developments is taking place. On the west side there are only two commercial nodes. The northern node is centered on and oriented toward Gateway Boulevard more than Federal Highway. It contains marginal, one story neighborhood strip mall retail uses. The location, orientation and nature of these retail facilities, in conjunction with the barrier created by the railroad right-of-way, indicate that they are not likely to serve either Federal Highway users or the preponderance of residential uses in this planning area, which are located on the east side of Federal Highway. The southern node is centered around NE 15th Avenue. Commercial uses include a funeral home as well as several vacant tracts of land. The intersection of Gateway Boulevard and Federal Highway, which should be considered a major node, contains residential on the northwest and southeast comers and commercial uses on the two remaining comers. The northeast comer features a gas station and the southwest comer features the marginal retail discussed above, and is set far back from the intersection due to the FEC right-of-way. 34 Recreation - Area I features two recreational sites on the east side of Federal Highway, proximate to the Intracoastal Waterway. The southern recreational area is a functioning boat ramp park. Because of the facility's proximity to the inlet, the park serves much of the South County area. As a result, there has been an increase in noise, traffic and parking that has presented issues for the surrounding community. The City of Boynton Beach has recently increased parking at the facility. Just north of the boat launch area is Intracoastal Park, developed with approximately $1.725 million in funding provided by Palm Beach County, in addition to City funds. The site contains active and passive recreational facilities. Impacts of Implementation Measures Following adoption of the amended Special High Density Residential land use category and the companion Infill Planned Unit Development regulations, a number of marginal commercial uses have been redeveloped as townhouse and multi-family condominium communities. The six projects approved as of March 2006, will provide a total of 449 residential units in the planning area. Since three of these developments are replacing antiquated mobile home parks, this is not a net gain of 449 units; however, with today's building standards, these new units will be better able to withstand the effects of storm events, thus providing a safer environment for the occupants. Locations of these projects are shown on the following map. 35 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area I Redevelopment Projects Map 4.9 NE 26TH AV t> o 0:: .., W Z I- z (j ~ Ul Z NE 17TH AVE SCI CLEDR z m N Z o -C E 16TH AVE ffi Ii> ~O O~ OUl -Cz 1,000 500 o 1.000 Feet 36 PLANNING AREA II 37 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area II Location Map 4.10 1. t ' ;' flLlttt=i NE.12TH-AVE '- I~_JJJ=_=L / ; , ,----T-~. 0 !

The FEC railroad right-of-way is the western boundary of the planning area. The centerline of the Intracoastal Waterway is the eastern edge of Area II. The FEC is roughly 75 feet west of Federal Highway on the north end of the area. On the southern end of Area II, however, the railroad right-of-way is roughly 200 feet west of Federal Highway. Martin Luther King Boulevard, which is NE 10th A venue, is the center of this planning area. Street Lavout and Circulation The FEC railway has a direct impact on circulation and land use patterns in Area II. Access to Federal Highway from land to the west of the FEC is limited to only two points. Martin Luther King Boulevard is the first access point. This intersection is signalized and has full median openings. Martin Luther King Boulevard contains some commercial uses and is a focal street for the residential community that surrounds it. Further, this street is the only one in Area II that provides citizens with northbound access on Federal Highway. As a result, this intersection should be considered a major node. The second FEC crossing is at NE 6th Avenue, which provides southbound access to Federal Highway for the industrial area and residential community to the west. NE 6th Avenue is not signalized and provides no median break. On the east side of Federal Highway, streets are predominantly a grid pattern. Access to Federal Highway is provided by each of the east-west avenues at intervals that range from approximately 280 feet and more. From the north boundary of Area II to Martin Luther King Boulevard, driveway separations are generally close to the 245-foot DOT guideline. South of 41 there, however, driveway spacing varies. On-street parking is available in this portion of Federal Highway. Zoning There are five zoning districts present in planning Area II. These are shown in Table 4.6. The zoning districts and existing uses are not inconsistent with one another. The Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, however, noted that three developments on southern edge of the planning area have densities of 40, 18.1 and 17.9 units per acre, which exceed the existing land use plan and zoning designations. Abbreviation RIA R1AA R1 R3 C4 MU-L Source: Table 4.6--Area II Existin~ Zonin~ Districts Zoning District Density Residential, Single Family 5.80 du/ac Residential, Single Family 5.40 du/ac net Residential, Single Family 7.26 du/ac Residential, Multi-family 10.80 du/ac Commercial, General Mixed Use-Low Intensity 40.00 du/ac City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Official Zoning Map", updated March 2006. There is only one commercial zoning district in Area II, which is the C4, General Commercial district. This is the most intense commercial district available within the City of Boynton Beach, and is intended to facilitate development along major trafficways. According to the Code, the intent of C-4 zoning is to preserve the design integrity of major highways by grouping "highway uses," which include local serving commercial uses as well as uses that lean more toward industrial in their nature. Federal Highway in this vicinity, however, is surrounded by residential uses with no transition in land use from residential to the heavy commercial and, as in planning Area I, the commercially zoned land is of marginal depth on both sides of Federal Highway. As a result, the C4 zoning district category allows for some uses that are traditionally considered incompatible when contiguous to, or a part of, residential communities. 42 Land Use There are only two land use designations in Area II, which are shown in Table 4.7. Existing land use in Area II is commercial along the entire length of Federal Highway. East of the commercial strip is residential land. These properties have a land use designation of mixed use, but are zoned residentially at densities of 5.8, 7.26 and 10.8 dwelling units per acre. Some residential lots appear to be non-conforming with regard to minimum size and width. Many of the houses are in need of maintenance. Overall, the land appears to be underutilized, and the neighborhood in need of code enforcement. Table 4.7.--Area II Existing Land Use Designations Abbreviation Land Use Designation Density Allowed MX Mixed Use 40 du/ac GC General Commercial(1) (I)Also designated mixed use ifuse and development meet specified requirements Source: City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map", updated March 2006. The commercial land uses include vacant lots and auto related facilities such as car rental, car wash, auto parts and repair; an adult entertainment establishment; a U-Haul rental with outdoor storage and display; outdoor boat sales; offices; restaurants; and retail. The more intense commercial uses that exist in Area II, such as the auto related facilities, outdoor storage and display, and adult entertainment are incompatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the marginal depth and overall SIze of many of the parcels, particularly on the west side of Federal Highway, do not allow for adequate landscaping, parking and buffering. Additionally, many structures are situated on or near the Federal Highway right- of-way line. 43 In addition to the commercial and residential uses, there is an Elks club located on the east side of Federal Highway. Beyond this, however, no other similar types of uses, community uses, public facilities, or open spaces were noted in Area II. Land uses at the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Federal Highway are very low scale retail uses. These include a vacant structure, vertical blinds shop, seafood market and a barbeque. Impacts of Implementation Measures A single rezoning to Mixed Use-Low Intensity has been approved in this area for a mixed use structure approximately 45 feet in height containing retail and office uses. While the zoning regulations allow densities of 40 du/ac and structure heights up to 75 feet, the shallow depth of the commercially-designated parcels and the close proximity of single-family residences make achieving those maximums problematic. In addition, the development potential allowed by the future land use designation and potential zoning category has contributed to causing property owners to have an over-inflated value of their land, rather than considering the limiting factors of the development regulations and the size and configuration of the individual parcels. 44 PLANNING AREA III 45 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area III Location Map 4.13 , .

Area III Overview Planning Area III contains the heart of downtown Boynton Beach, and includes the original Community Redevelopment Area. A line extended from the north edge of Mangrove Nature Park forms the north boundary of the planning area. The eastern city limits, which is roughly in the centerline of the Intracoastal Waterway channel forms the east edge. The south edge of Area III is generally formed by SE 2nd Avenue. The western boundary is the FEC railway. Street Layout and Circulation The street pattern in Area III is a downtown grid with access to Federal Highway from both the east and west sides of the roadway. This planning area has two signalized intersections on Federal Highway, which are at Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. These two intersections are 1,056 feet apart, which is 20 percent short of the spacing desired by FDOT. Typically, FDOT desires a minimum of 1,320 feet between intersections. These two intersections provide full median openings. The balance of the median openings are directional, meaning that only limited turning movements are allowed, and vary in separation. Driveway access in this area varies in distance separation. Boynton Beach Boulevard provides direct access to Interstate 95 from Federal Highway and, as such, should be considered a node of activity. Boynton Beach Boulevard, as a major right-of-way, terminates at Federal Highway. Ocean Avenue, which is just to the south, carries traffic across the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean beaches and, therefore, should also be considered a major node of activity. The bridge at Ocean A venue was recently rebuilt with 49 enhanced architectural features that continue the streetscape theme of Ocean A venue, and developers in the downtown area are being strongly encouraged to utilize many of these same features in their projects to create visual harmony. The FEC railway does not have a significant limiting impact in this planning area as it does in the two planning areas to the north. On the northernmost end of Area III, land between the railway and Federal Highway is approximately 200 feet deep. Land between the FEC and Federal Highway continues to gain depth throughout the balance of the corridor. On the southern edge of Area III, there is more than an estimated 400 feet between the two transportation corridors. The three FEC crossings in Area III provide ready access to the Federal Highway Corridor for land to the west. If passenger rail service is restored on the line and a station is established in the downtown, it will have important impacts on both land use planning and transportation planning for the subarea and the City as a whole. Zoning Approximately nine lots spanning across NE 4th A venue contiguous to the railway are zoned for heavy commercial uses. Beyond that, however, the balance of land within Area III is zoned either Central Business District or Mixed Use-High Intensity. Table 4.8 shows the zoning districts that exist in Area III. Abbreviation CBD C4 MU-H Source: Table 4.8-Area III Existing Zoning Districts Zoning District Density Central Business District Commercial, General Mixed Use-High Intensity 80 duJac City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Official Zoning Map", updated March 2006. 50 The CBD zoning district is intended to provide a focal point in the community that integrates a variety of office, retail and residential uses. The district standards, densities and intensities are designed to create a synergy between permitted uses and to create a critical mass of upscale development that establishes a pedestrian environment and promotes the local economy. Land Use The land use designation in Area III is depicted in Table 4.9. The land use designations and the existing uses are not inconsistent. The northeast portion of this planning area has a special conservation overlay district. This is the Mangrove Nature Park that is a natural preserve containing scenic boardwalks that lead out to the Intracoastal Waterway. Table 4.9.--Area III Existing Land Use Designations Abbreviation Land Use Designation Density Allowed MX Mixed Use(l) 40 du/ac MX-C Mixed Use-Core(I) 80 du/ac GC General Commercial (I) A portion also designated conservation overlay Source: City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map", updated March 2006. The northernmost portion of Area III contains a propane gas outlet and a large Goodyear facility on the west side between Federal Highway the FEC right-of-way; uses similar to those in Area II as they are suggestive of heavy commercial uses. Other uses on the north end, however, include low scale community serving retail and businesses. The intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway contains commercial uses. A large chain drugstore occupies the northwest comer, while the southwest comer features a gas station. The northeast comer contains Boynton Plaza, a small scale strip shopping plaza in moderate condition with front-field parking. A redevelopment plan for the 51 shopping plaza has been approved for the site; however, construction has not commenced. A storm water retention pond is located between the mangrove park and the existing shopping center. Immediately north is St. Marks Church and school facility. The southeast comer of the intersection was purchased by the CRA and cleared of the motel that existed on the site. A portion of the property is being used to create a promenade, which will link to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Mangrove Park. Land along Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue is in a variety of uses and appears to be under-utilized, particularly when considered in conjunction with the Central Business District zoning that is in place and the Mixed Use-High Intensity zoning district that could be requested. Along the west side of Federal Highway, between the gas station and adjacent small office building at the comer of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, there is a large vacant lot that is designated for parking for the church that is immediately to the south. Veteran's Park is also located in this area. The church, in addition to the parking lot, also has extensive parking behind the building. Across Federal Highway is the remote drive in facility for Bank of America and, to the south of that, the main building for the bank. Other uses south of this area include retail and office. Along Ocean A venue on the east side of Federal Highway, there is one story strip retail development and a small shopping plaza. The north side of Ocean Avenue in this area is contiguous to the Intracoastal Waterway and the uses are marine-oriented and include charter fishing and diving businesses, and two successful waterfront restaurants. A mixed use development project with a marina located north of these uses has been approved and is nearing completion. 52 The west side of Ocean Avenue has been newly renovated and enhanced with streetscape elements. The north side of this block-long area features small scale retail and restaurants in a pedestrian environment. The two blocks south of Ocean Avenue along the west side of Federal Highway have been approved for a mixed use project. The intersection of Ocean Avenue and Federal Highway, which is another major node, is low scale development, which is emphasized by the width of Federal Highway. Other than the mixed use project, the intersection contains retail and office uses, except for the northeast corner which has a bank building. Recommendations for planning Area III were included in the original CRA plan, and then subsequently contained in the Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan that was finalized in September 1998. The original CRA plan envisioned further development specifically of the area between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean A venue. The CRA plan suggested the following in this area: o A waterfront public park/specialty retail/residential project that occupies the northeast corner of the Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway intersection, replacing the existing strip shopping center; o A hotel project that would overlook the waterfront amenities; both the marina and the mangrove park; and, o A marina project that would include specialty retail shops and more restaurants. The waterfront projects would bring population into the downtown area to support the desired retail and restaurants. The hotel project would serve a similar purpose, as well as capture the City's share of the tourism industry. Note that the CRA plan conducted a market study and concluded that the area would support a hotel. The marina project would not only bring population to the downtown, but would also enhance the water orientation of this area, which is a 53 valuable asset. Parking for these suggested developments was not directly addressed, other than to note that it would have to be carefully coordinated. The CRA plan also envisioned a pedestrian environment along the west side of Federal Highway, as well as along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean A venue. All of these recommendations were made, however, predicated on the completion of the Boynton Beach Boulevard Bridge that FDOT had planned to construct across the ICW. The bridge was not constructed, and the existing Ocean Avenue bridge will remain in place. The Boynton Beach 20120 Redevelopment Plan that was completed in 1998 also contained recommendations for this immediate portion of planning Area III. The 20/20 Plan, like the CRA plan, envisioned a waterfront plaza and overall redevelopment of the northeast corner of the Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway intersection. It also called for a pedestrian environment along Federal Highway, recommending building placement near the property line. Retail uses were envisioned along both sides of Federal Highway, with pedestrian access placed mid-block. The 20120 Plan did not discuss a specific mixed-use marina project, and did not consider the hotel concept recommended in the eRA plan, but did address parking. The 20120 Plan noted that parking to serve the proposed retail uses would be critical in attracting people downtown, particularly during the initial phases of operation. As a result, the 20/20 Plan proposed parking in the northeast corner of Federal Highway and Ocean A venue, behind the buildings that have street frontage. This parking was proposed to serve the commercial uses that would be located on both the east and west sides of Federal Highway. Impacts of Implementation Measures The Mixed Use-High Intensity zoning district allows for a diversity of land uses and accommodates and encourages a mixture of residential, office, retail, recreational and other 54 miscellaneous uses on assembled parcels in the downtown area. It is consistent with the Mixed Use-Core land use designation. Three projects, utilizing this zoning district, have been approved since adoption of the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. The Residences at Marina Village, which is nearing completion, contains 350 residential units, with 12 of them being townhouses. The other two will add another 696 residential units to the study area. 55 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area III Redevelopment Projects Map 4.16 I' .., 'I '! ! el~r=L't= I 'lOO _Fee, 56 PLANNING AREA IV 57 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area IV Location Map 4.17 HARBOUR DR N / ........ ... ) n T'........ ~V USW#IY ! ~ ..Sf i' ~--=<..f 1 '--;:.l ~A: DR ~ r/': L 41.'..' q'4< -J DOl ~N l'ND CHICKASAW ~E ~ /1 FAYETTE DR .fi>}i If...., ~ 'fJ~ LJL~JJ~'I; '.'\ IJ ,......L,1!li ; rrT' - ~l'-,~ " ,.

The eastern edge is the municipal boundary, which is roughly the centerline of the Intracoastal Waterway. The southern edge of Area IV is being extended to include the two shopping plazas immediately to the south of the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. The western edge of the corridor in this area is the FEC railway. In this portion of the corridor, Federal Highway is in the middle of the study area. Street Layout and Circulation The street system and circulation on the west side of Federal Highway is a traditional grid pattern In contrast, land on the east side of Federal Highway is representative of newer development. Streets are curvilinear and serve only the development in which they are located, providing no interparcel access. Planning Area IV contains one signalized intersection, at Woolbright Road and Federal Highway. Because Woolbright Road provides a direct link between 1-95 and the barrier island, this intersection is a major node. There are two other streets that intersect with Federal Highway that also provide crossing to the west at the FEC railway. These are SE 5th A venue and SE I ih Avenue. While these two streets intersect with Federal Highway, there are no median openings at these intersections. There is, however, a median opening at SE 10th A venue. 61 Zoning The zomng districts in Area IV are varied, and accommodate single family and multifamily development, mixed use, office, commercial and recreational uses. The zoning districts that are present are shown in Table 4.10. Abbreviation RlAA R2 R3 MU-L OC C3 REC Source: Table 4.10--Area IV Existing Zoning Districts Zoning District Density Residential, Single Family 5.40 du/ac net Residential, Duplex 9.60 du/ac Residential, Multi-family 10.80 du/ac Mixed Use-Low Intensity 40.00 du/ac Commercial, Office Commercial, Community Recreation City of Boynton Beach, FL, "Official Zoning Map", updated March 2006. The existing uses are not inconsistent with the uses permitted in the various zomng categories. The Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, however, noted that there were four developments that had densities that exceed those allowed by zoning. These are the Sterling Village condominiums and three other contiguous developments. The first was noted as having a density of 30 units per acre; the next of 18 units per acre; the third of 20.3 units per acre; and 18.6 units per acre at Sterling Village. The maximum allowable density under the existing zoning is 10.8 dwelling units per acre. Land Use The land use designations present in Area IV are shown in Table 4.11, which is included on the following page. Existing uses and land use plan uses are not inconsistent, although several developments have densities greater than otherwise permitted. Existing land uses in Area IV are mixed. The northeast quadrant of this planning area is occupied predominantly by Sterling Village, which is a garden-style multifamily condominium 62 development. Field inspection of Sterling Village indicated that many of the units are seasonally occupied, and occupants are largely age 55 and older. South of this is Boynton Isles, a single family detached community that has a water orientation. Separating this residential neighborhood from Federal Highway is a pocket of commercial development that includes the Women's Club, a single commercial use, and office uses of which one or more is vacant. To the south of the commercial pocket are two condominium developments, Snug Harbor and Bermuda Cay, which has recently converted from a multi-family rental complex. On the northeast comer of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway is a gas station. To the south of the intersection is a shopping plaza containing a large supermarket, bank, large chain drugstore, several restaurants and fast food establishments.

Abbreviation LDR MeDR 10.80 du/ac 40 du/ac The west side of the Federal Highway in Area IV is commercial. Uses are uncoordinated and unrelated. These include several banks; a motel, several fast food establishments; a church located in a defunct shopping center; personal services; and, several vacant parcels. The overall impression of this portion of the planning area is marginal and in a state of decline. At the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road, the above mentioned mixed use project is on the northwest comer. The approved site plan for this development includes retail and office uses fronting on both Federal Highway and Woolbright Road, two residential towers, parking 63 garages and townhouses. On the southwest comer is a gas station surrounded by a shopping plaza which contains a large supermarket, restaurants, and a variety of retail stores. The aforementioned commercial uses on the west side of Federal Highway wrap around an area of residential duplex development. This small community is surrounded on the east, south and a portion ofthe west by commercially zoned land. The balance of the west side of the residential area is contiguous to the FEC railway. Pence Park, which is a public recreational facility, is to the north of this community. Impacts of Implementation Measures Two rezonings to Mixed Use-Low Intensity have been approved since adoption of the Corridor Plan. The first, at the northwest comer of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway is on the site of a former lumber yard. The property was split by the original south boundary of the Planning Area. In order for the property to be developed under a single set of development regulations, it was decided to include all of the property in Planning Area IV. In all, it will provide an additional 378 residential units,in a combination oftownhomes, apartments and lofts, as well as retail and office spaces. The second rezoning to Mixed Use-Low Intensity is located on on the west side of Federal Highway between SE 5th Avenue and SE 6th Avenue. It is approved for 48 residential condominium lofts, as well as commercial uses. While each of these projects has been approved, construction has not begun. 64 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area IV Redevelopment Projects Map 4.20 ; t{f~\ j\ il-'[ Ii Ii 11 ;J.,lli\ T i i. -!~..il';! iIl!11i' .Tn I iSEiehiAVE LL SE 1ST.."

The centerline of the Intracoastal Waterway forms the eastern edge of the planning area, and the FEC railway is the western boundary. The southernmost 3,600 feet or so of Area V contains numerous parcels of land that are not within the City of Boynton Beach. Additionally, a part of the east side of Federal Highway is not within the City. These properties are in the City's future annexation area and will be added to the City when requested by the property owners. Street Layout and Circulation With the exception of multifamily residential development located on the west side of Federal Highway around SE 21st Avenue that has grid pattern, the street layout in this planning area can be described as curvilinear. Streets were designed to serve only the immediate development in which they are located, and not to provide interparcel access. Planning Area V has two signalized intersections on Federal Highway, which are at SE 23rd Street and Gulfstream Boulevard. These two intersections provide full median openings. Additionally, these are the only two east-west streets that provide access to the west across the FEC railway right-of-way. The balance of the median openings are directional and vary in separation. Driveway access in this area varies in distance separation. -'- 70 The intersections of SE 23rd Street and Gulfstream Boulevard with Federal Highway are important because of their size and the fact that they provide western access. As a result, these should be considered major nodes. Zoning A broad range of zoning categories exist in Area V, which are shown in Table 4.12.

The existing uses are not inconsistent with the uses permitted under the applicable zoning districts. The Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, however, noted that there were five developments that had densities that exceed those allowed by zoning. These existing densities were 27.7, 25.4, 32.2, 21 and 5.3 units per acre. The maximum density permitted by the zoning district for the first four developments is 10.8 units per acre. The fifth development has land use that allows a maximum of 3 units per acre. As a result, these residential communities are non- conforming uses. 71 Land Use Land use designations in Area V are extremely varied. Table 4.13 depicts the existing future land use designations.

Area V contains not only a mix of land uses, but these uses are arranged with no apparent logical order. Commencing at the northwest study area boundary uses include, a fire station, medical offices; assisted living facility; residential; motels; and, miscellaneous free standing retail uses. In the southern portion, these uses appear marginal, uncoordinated and in a state of decline. The Federal Highway and Gulfstream Boulevard node is just north of the southern boundary of the study area. On the northeast comer there is an adult entertainment establishment. To the north and west of this is a declining shopping plaza. The east side of Federal Highway at the southern end of Area V is not within the City of Boynton Beach. The southernmost portion is vacant property within the Town of Gulfstream and has a recreational land use designation. Farther north, the property is in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is within the City of Boynton Beach's future annexation area. Tradewinds Estates, a single family development lying between Federal 72 Highway and the ICWW, is in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Approximately 87% of the properties in this subdivision are supplied with water and sewer services by the City and have annexation agreements with the City. Other uses in this area, however, include outdoor storage and display of various items. The poor appearance of these retail facilities detracts from the area. Continuing north on Federal Highway to the southern city limits, uses include multifamily units and Jaycee Park, which is a public, passive recreation area with ICWW orientation. North of that, there are more multifamily units, and then a number of commercial sites that are either vacant, or developed but abandoned. Continuing north, there are more multifamily developments and then various commercial uses that include fast food establishments. Impacts of Implementation Measures Adoption of the IPUD zoning regulations sparked a flurry of redevelopment activities within the subarea. Most of that activity has occurred from the node at the Federal Highway and SE 23rd Avenue southward to the node at Federal Highway and Gateway Boulevard. In addition to replacing existing and declining development, including a mobile home park, it has encouraged assembly of small parcels and the annexation of lands formerly lying in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The ten projects that have been approved through March 2006, will add 912 residential units to the study area. While the majority of these developments have been solely townhouses and condominiums, approval has been given to replace the declining shopping plaza at the northwest comer of the Federal Highway and Gateway Boulevard intersection with a mixed use development, consisting of commercial uses along the Federal Highway 73 frontage and both condominiums and townhouses on the more western portions of the property.:. 74 Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan Planning Area V Redevelopment Projects Map 4.24 if I i .[r'l'T1lITQ" 1 r.

Additionally, both the CRA redevelopment plan and the Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan suggested mixed use developments, to include retail, in the core downtown area. Approximately 17 years has passed since the initial recommendation for a hotel, additional retail space and office uses that was contained in the CRA plan. This section of the Federal Highway Conidor Study, therefore, will review the hotel market at this time as well as the market for mixed use retail to determine if prior recommendations are still viable. Hotel Market Analysis The CRA plan adopted in 1984 examined conditions in what was identified as the competing markets; the Lake Worth and Delray Beach downtown districts. The plan noted that Boynton Beach's location between these two areas indicated that the City could expect to share in some of the advantages and disadvantages experienced by the surrounding areas. The CRA redevelopment plan found that in 1984, the "least favorable market indicator" was the number of hotel and motel units available. At that time, Boynton Beach had 239 hotel and motel units combined, compared to 598 total units in Delray Beach and 828 units in Lake Worth. While a breakdown of the number of units by hotel or motel was not provided, the CRA plan stated that the units within Boynton Beach 76 were not only smaller in number, but provided in comparatively smaller facilities that could not accommodate meetings or conferences. As a result, the plan indicated that Boynton Beach was likely not capturing the full economic benefits of the convention and tourism industry. Almost 17 years has transpired since the recommendation to take advantage of this market segment through siting of a convention type hotel in the core downtown area. As a result, a review of current market conditions is warranted to determine if the recommendation for placement of a hotel is still a valid land use consideration. The data contained in Table 5.1 on the following page provide information concerning hotel and hotel units within both the County and the regional market area, which includes not only Delray Beach and Lake Worth as included in the original CRA plan, but also Manalapan that is just north of Boynton Beach. A convention style Ritz- Carlton hotel has been constructed in Manalapan since completion of the CRA plan and, therefore, must be included in the regional market area. Note that only hotels are examined is this analysis, and not motels since they do not provide convention or banquet facilities, or other "full service" amenities found in hotels. The classification to determine whether a facility is a hotel or motel has been taken from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Division of Hotels and Restaurants Master Listing of Accounts prepared January 8, 2001. The State determines whether a facility is a hotel, which is classified as 02, or is a motel, which is classified as 03. The first half of Table 5.1 compares the number of hotel facilities in the City of Boynton Beach to those in all of Palm Beach County.

The Ritz-Carlton in Manalapan constitutes ].5 percent of all hotels in Palm Beach. Similarly, Boynton Beach has 4 hotels that constitute 36.4 percent of all hotels in the market region, compared to 27.3 percent each for Delray Beach and Lake Worth, which each have 3 of the 1] hotels in the market region. Manalapan's hotel represents 9.] percent of the hotels in the market region. The data were then examined to compare hotels that had ] 00 rooms or more, since that would be the very minimum number desired to support banquet or conference facilities. These data show that Boynton Beach has 3 hotels with] 00 or more rooms, compared to the County that has a total of 43 hotels with ] 00 or more rooms, which equates to Boynton Beach having 7 percent of all hotels with ] 00 or more rooms in Palm Beach County. This compares to Delray Beach that has 4.7 percent of the hotels with an excess of JOO rooms. Lake Worth and Manalapan each have only 2.3 percent of the hotels with more than 100 rooms. Similarly, Boynton Beach has a greater percentage of the market region's hotels with JOO rooms or more. The City has three such hotels, which represents almost 43 percent of the hotels in the market region. It should be noted, however, that one of these is a Holiday Inn Express located proximate to Interstate 95. Although the hotel does provide meeting rooms, it is of minimal size featuring only 100 rooms, and is not representative of typical conference resort hotels. A second hotel in Boynton Beach is the Holiday Inn - Catalina on North Congress Avenue, which has been reported to Boynton Beach Planning staff as maintaining a high occupancy rate due to flight crews from Palm Beach International Airport. As a result, the higher percentage of 79 hotels with greater than 100 rooms in Boynton Beach may be diminished because of these two unique circumstances. Further, a review of the number hotels with 100 rooms or more in the regional market shows that each of the competing areas --- Delray Beach, Lake Worth and Manalapan --- have one water oriented hotel facility with conference or meeting room space. The City of Boynton Beach, however, has no such facility. The second portion of Table 5.1 examines the number of units available, rather than the number of hotel facilities. Palm Beach County has a total of 10,063 hotel units. The data in Table 5.1 show that Boynton Beach is competitive with Delray Beach. Boynton Beach has 740 hotel units for 7.4 percent of all units in Palm Beach County, while Delray Beach has 790 hotel units for a total of just under 8 percent of all units countywide. Lake Worth has a total of255 units and Manalapan 270 units, which is equal to 2.5 percent and 2.7 percent of all hotel units in the County, respectively. Similarly, Boynton Beach and Delray Beach are competitive with each other on a regional level, with Boynton Beach maintaining 36 percent of all hotel units within the region, while Delray Beach has 38.4 percent. Boynton Beach and Delray Beach each have slightly more than 4 percent of the units countywide that are located in hotels that have 100 units or more, as well as roughly the same percentage of similar units compared on a regional basis. Once again, however, Boynton Beach has no units in a conference sized hotel with a water orientation, while Delray Beach enjoys almost 41 percent of such units; Lake Worth 16.7 percent of similar units; and, Manalapan more than 42 percent of the region's units in conference sized hotel facilities. The hotel in Delray Beach with a water orientation is the Marriott Delray Beach located on North Ocean Boulevard with 260 units. The similar hotel in Lake Worth is the Gulfstream Hotel located on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway. This hotel features only 106 rooms and is a minimal conference hotel. It has a total of 2 meeting rooms that seat only 5 to 80 ] 2 people, and a total of 2 banquet rooms that accommodate a maximum of 50 to 100 people. The third regional hotel is the Ritz-Carlton in Manalapan that has full meeting and conferencing facilities, and features 270 rooms with a water orientation. This analysis examined existing market conditions in the County, as well as in the competitive market region as initially examined in the original CRA plan and expanded to account for the newer development in Manalapan. The results indicate that there is still a market niche for a conference-sized hotel with a water orientation within the City of Boynton Beach. While the CRA plan suggested a hotel with 100 to 200 rooms, it is recommended that the City of Boynton Beach consider a hotel that approaches or slightly exceeds the upper end of this size to be competitive with the Marriott in Delray Beach that has 260 rooms and the Ritz-Carlton in Manalapan that has 270 rooms. According to the Palm Beach Property Appraiser's office, the Delray Beach hotel is situated on approximately 4.5 acres, which equates to an estimated 754 square feet per hotel room. The Manalapan resort site is approximately 6.8 acres including its extensive pool, patio and deck areas, which equate to 1,097 square feet per hotel room. These data indicate that the City of Boynton Beach should consider a redevelopment site for a hotel that ranges between 3.5 acres and 5 acres to accommodate a convention type hotel that has 200 rooms. Retail Market Analysis In addition to recommending a convention type hotel, the original CRA plan suggested mixed uses to include retail and office. Specifically, the CRA plan suggested an additional 50,000 square feet of retail, including restaurants, and an additional 20,000 to 30,000 square feet of office use. The Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Plan provided similar recommendations with regard to uses, although it did not specify a target square footage of additional uses. 81 In recommending additional non-residential uses in the downtown area, the CRA plan considered population distribution in the regional market that includes Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Lake Worth, as well as income and homeownership as an indicator of market stability. Since the CRA plan was prepared almost 17 years ago, however, a reexamination of market projections is warranted. The Planning Division of Palm Beach County completed a "Commercial Needs Assessment Report", revised through December 1999, that examined office and retail demand projected in the year 2015. The study focused on portions of Palm Beach that are west of the subject study area, but considered supply and demand for retail and office throughout all of Palm Beach County. The Needs Assessment utilized smaller planning sectors that are used by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). While the focus of the analysis was on areas west of the Federal Highway Corridor, the Needs Assessment considered all of Palm Beach County to take into account mobility, travel patterns and relationships between the various smaller planning sectors that were utilized. The Federal Highway Corridor is not isolated within a singular smaller planning sector. Further, issues such as future population distribution and mobility greatly affect the demand and specific location for retail and office. As a result, the data contained in the Needs Assessment study were examined at several different levels to determine future supply and demand for office and retail. A reduced regional market area was considered, which extended from Interstate 95 east to the Atlantic Ocean, north to a line south of Forest Hill Boulevard, and south to a line that is north of Clint Moore Road. This is a narrowly defined area that encompasses MPO planning sectors 43 and 53, and is referred to as the reduced regional market. The second area that was examined included the first area, but extended more westerly to Florida's Turnpike. This second 82 area includes MPO planning sectors 42 and 43, which are north of Boynton Beach Boulevard, as well as 52 and 53 that are roughly south of Boynton Beach Boulevard. As a result, the core downtown of Boynton Beach lies approximately halfway between these northern and southern planning areas. Referred to as the expanded regional market, this area takes into account personal mobility within the general vicinity. The data for the third planning area that were considered included all of Palm Beach County, which provides for regional mobility. The supply and demand data for offices uses in the year 2015 for these three areas was taken from the "Commercial Needs Assessment Report". This information is summarized in Table 5.2, which is on the following page. These data for the reduced regional market indicate that in the year 2015, there will be a surplus of retail space totaling approximately 317,700 square feet. At the same time, however, these data indicate that there will be a deficit of office space in this area that totals more than 1.9 million square feet. The retail demand that was calculated throughout the Needs Assessment analysis is based upon population within a give sector. A predetermined square footage of retail per capita was used for neighborhood, community and regional retail facilities within a given MPO planning sector to determine the amount of total square footage that would be needed. The projected population within a planning sector, therefore, determined the amount of retail that the given sector could support. The methodology, however, does not take into account mobility and transportation routes. As a result, it would not be appropriate to consider the data contained in Table 5.2 as a definitive analysis of need within a specific sector 83 Use Total Retail Total Office Retail Sector 43 Sector 53 Office Sector 43 883,133 sq. ft. 2,960,181 sq. ft.

Table 5.2.-- Retail and Office Supply and Demand in the Reduced Regional Market, 2015 Supply Demand 7,427,470 sq. ft. 7,109,743 sq. ft. 3,545,999 sq. ft. 5,534,773 sq. ft. Difference 317,727 sq. ft.

Similarly, office space demand was calculated with a formula that also involved planning sector population. The methodology utilized was predicated on a predetermined ratio of 253 employees for each 1,000 people. The sector population was, therefore, divided by 1,000 and then multiplied by 253 to determine the number of employees within a sector. That result was then multiplied by 200 square feet of office, which is, according the study, the amount of office space per employee in an average, new suburban office. The resulting number was the estimate of the amount of square feet of office space required for the population within a given sector. As with retail uses, however, this methodology does not take into account issues such as mobility and transportation routes. The second analysis of the data included a review of the expanded regional market. This analysis assumes that there is the potential for mobility of population within the larger region, but not necessarily throughout the entire county. Table 5.3 shows the results of the supply and demand in the year 2015 in the expanded region. 84 Table 5.3.-- Retail and Office Supply and Demand in the Expanded Regional Market, 2015 Supply Demand 23,723,756 sq. ft. 29,009,181 sq. ft. 14,409,857 sq. ft. 22,751,140 sq. ft.

(3,003,243) sq. ft. 88,274 sq. ft The Date in Table 5.2 examine the expanded regional market, and indicate a deficit of need for both additional retail and office space in the year 2015. The data for the expanded area indicates a need for almost 5.3 million square feet of additional retail space, and more than 8.3 million square feet of office space. In comparing the data contained in Table 5.2 and Table 5.3, it becomes apparent that the difference in the projected deficit is a result of a projection of greater population, bearing in mind that demand for both types of uses is predicated on the population within a given MPO planning sector. The additional population is projected west of Interstate 95 and results in a very dramatic increase in both retail and office demand within the expanded regional market. Note that these numbers do not take into account any increase in population east of Interstate 95 that could occur as a result of redevelopment but not anticipated at the time that the population projections were prepared. The third area analyzed was the entire area of Palm Beach County. Overall, the Needs Assessment found that there would be a deficit of retail totaling approximately 1.35 million 85 square feet in the year 2015. At the same time, however, the analysis determined that there would be a surplus of office space of approximately 14.7 million square feet. This gross number assumes, however, an ability and willingness to traverse all of Palm Beach County for both retail and office needs. This includes retail needs that would otherwise be met on a reduced regional level. As a result, these data suggest that there may be a need to examine the distribution of these non-residential uses, but they do not necessarily suggest an adjustment to the square footage of either retail or office uses. The Commercial Needs Assessment merits consideration as an important tool for analyzing the demand of non-residential land uses in Palm Beach in order to determine if there will be a reasonable balance of competing land uses in the future. This can assist county planners in assessing requests for land use amendments as well as determining if the general distribution of land use designations will meet future needs. On a more area specific basis, however, the study may not be the appropriate tool to determine the exact square footage of retail and office uses. The analysis is a useful guide, however, in that it provides an indication of need by region. Note that the report stated that other considerations such as reduced density in the far west and a movement toward infill development in the east will play an important role in determining where non-residential uses will ultimately locate. In summary, the expanded regional analysis of market demand for retail and office space in the year 2015 appears to be the most balanced approach to determining future need. This approach allows for some mobility of population but does not make an assumption that the entire population will traverse the County. In effect, examining the expanded regional market assumes that individuals will travel some distance outside of their immediate community, but not necessarily travel long distances for retail and employment on a regular basis. 86 The result of the data analysis for future retail and office demand indicates that the population growth and employment in the general region of the core downtown area of Boynton Beach will support additional retail and office uses in the downtown area. While the data from the Needs Assessment analysis indicates a definitive square footage of retail and office uses, it is recommended that these numbers be viewed as indicators of deficit or surplus and not be relied upon as a definitive area of development because of variables that cannot be expressly quantified. These would include, for example, variations in population growth and population mobility. Nevertheless, the Needs Assessment analysis shows that a demand for commercial and office will exist. The exact square footage of commercial and office space that is constructed will be determined by land availability and market demand. 87 SECTION VI ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES: REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES General Description Current development patterns and land uses within the entire Federal Highway Corridor present challenges and opportunities for development and redevelopment that provide the framework for an overall approach to redevelopment strategies. The original CRA plan adopted in 1984 and the Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Plan that was finalized in 1998 both identified the Central Business District, which is planning Area III, as the primary focus of activity, although each of those plans recommended somewhat differing approaches to development or redevelopment. Existing and planned development, and current or recently completed improvements in Area III continue to emphasize the importance of this planning area as the focus of activity, with the four remaining planning areas serving to create a functional and orderly hierarchy of development that will enhance the success of the core downtown. Broadly, Areas II and IV, which are contiguous to the north and south edges of the downtown, respectively, are the gateways to downtown. These planning areas should contain mixed use residential and non- residential developments of lesser intensity than the downtown, with commercial uses that serve the surrounding neighborhoods. Areas I and V, which are the northernmost and southernmost areas, are the entrances to the City of Boynton Beach. These areas should invite residential uses at intensities that will provide additional population base to assist in sustaining the Central Business District. Land uses, development intensities and standards should emphasize this gradual transition into the core downtown. 88 To undertake this approach to development and redevelopment within the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Area, the issues and opportunities identified through the analysis of existing conditions are evaluated to formulate general redevelopment strategies. Because Area III is the focal point within the Federal Highway Corridor, it will be addressed first, followed by consideration of Areas II and IV that flank the downtown, and then by the outer edges of the Corridor that are defined by Area I and Area V. None of the prior studies for the planning areas made any consideration for historical resources. While the City of Boynton Beach has relatively few historic structures, compared to other coastal communities in Palm Beach County, nevertheless, the ones remaining are a part of the fabric of the City. In 1993 the City conducted a survey of those structures that were possibly eligible for recognition, either at the National, State or local level. Since that study was conducted, a number of these have been either destroyed to make way for redevelopment or have been altered to the point that they no longer have any significance as historical resources. The few remaining of these structures should be allowed to remain, either as their intended uses or adaptively reused as a part of the redevelopment plans. The Downtown: Area III Both the original CRA Plan and the 20/20 Redevelopment Plan provide elements that merit consideration and implementation in one, unified approach. Both plans called for a mixed use project to be located within the downtown redevelopment area. Similarly, both plans recognized the need for such development to provide a node of activity in the downtown; the importance of a pedestrian orientation; and, the importance of adequate public parking. The 1984 CRA Plan also identified an opportunity to capture a share of the tourism market by providing for a convention style hotel. 89 The water orientation of the downtown provides a unique opportunity for pedestrian oriented, mixed use activity that could include residential uses as well as destination office, retail and restaurants. The downtown is not only privileged to have the Intracoastal Waterway on its east as well as potential points of redevelopment and pedestrian interest, immediately to the west of the geographic limits of the Corridor. At the same time however, Federal Highway that forms the spine of the Corridor is an arterial roadway that has the main purpose of moving vehicular traffic north and south; not catering to pedestrian traffic moving east and west. Because of these issues and opportunities, redevelopment approaches within Area III should focus on several key elements to ensure success. Overall, these will establish a compactness and critical mass of development and population to establish the downtown as a destination area, and to ensure its success and long term viability. The general goal in Area III is to create a pedestrian oriented destination. These following strategies will assist in achieving this broad goal: o Establish a focal point. Attract a stabilizing focus of development, such as the convention style hotel recommended in the 1984 CRA Plan, to locate east of Federal Highway to take advantage of the water orientation. The analysis indicates that there is a market opportunity for this use. The hotel will provide a focal node of activity; an initial residential component to establish a population in the downtown; and, an injection of economic activity for the CRA. o Encourage mixed use development. Continue to promote and encourage the mixed use, marine oriented project to be located north of Ocean A venue proximate to the Intracoastal Waterway. The mixed use project, similar to a hotel, will provide pedestrian activity in the downtown area and contribute toward a vibrant atmosphere. Additionally, encourage residential components in development projects to build a population base in the downtown. o Create a destination atmosphere. Permitted uses should be only those that are destination types of uses, and not those that typically rely upon the capture of drive-by traffic. Destination types of uses include, for example, personal services, specialty retail, offices, full service restaurants and residential uses. Conversely, vehicular oriented uses include, by way of example, vehicular related uses, fast food restaurants and "drive-thru" facilities. o Require urban form. Create development standards in the downtown that require intensity, bulk and building massing to establish the downtown area as a focal point. 90 Building height at heights greater than that allowed in the surrounding areas should be encouraged. o Encourage public activity in aU of downtown. Provide public parking in a centralized area within the downtown. It is very important that the parking is located on the west side of Federal Highway to allow pedestrians the opportunity to explore points of interest west of the parking, as well as to cross Federal Highway to explore areas of activity on the east side proximate to the ICW. Because Federal Highway serves as a physical and psychological barrier, pedestrians that initiate their visit to downtown by parking on the east side of the highway will not cross it to explore areas of interest to the west. o Define pedestrian spaces. Require reduced building setbacks to better define pedestrian spaces. Specifically, parking lots located between the use and the public rights of way should be discouraged or prohibited. o Create a safe pedestrian environment. Require development that fronts along Federal Highway to be designed in a manner that discourages mid-block crossings by pedestrians, and emphasizes the corners as important nodes of activity. o Establish an aesthetically pleasing identity. Create an aesthetic identity for the downtown through the development, use and rhythmic placement of public street furnishings, lighting, and other types of enrichments, as well as creation and implementation of development design criteria that address architecture, colors and signage in addition to general development standards. 91 The Gateways to Downtown: Areas II and IV These two planning areas are the front doors to the downtown core area; the gateway neighborhoods. As such, they will serve two broad functions. First, their appearance must convey their important role as gateways to downtown. Currently, however, many of the existing uses, and the appearance and placement of development features do not create the desired appearance of gateway neighborhoods. Additionally, many of the existing types of commercial uses do not promote a sense of neighborhood. Rather, they cater to drive-by traffic on Federal Highway. Second, these planning areas must provide sufficient housing opportunities to build the critical mass of population necessary for a successful downtown area. The general goal is to create identifiable communities that provide the gateways to downtown. As a result, the following strategies to accomplish this are as follows: o Establish a sense of community. Provide for mixed use development that is predominantly residential, with non-residential components that serve the immediate community. Non-residential uses should be neighborhood serving in nature, as opposed to those uses that are heavy commercial uses, those that are automobile oriented, or those that are generally not considered to be neighborhood oriented. o Protect community character. Establish standards to protect the character of the residential community that could be affected by the development of multiple, similar types of non-residential uses. This will encourage a diversity of nonresidential, neighborhood- serving establishments. o Require a transition to the downtown urban form. Create development standards in the gateway communities that establish a logical transition to the downtown. Building scale, massing and placement should be less intense than that of the central business district, but greater than surrounding areas. o Provide for a variety of adequate housing. Establish intensity standards that allow for a variety of housing styles and types at intensities that will assist in supporting the downtown area and general economic expansion. o Require compatibility between uses. Create development standards that provide for adequate setbacks and buffering between residential and non-residential uses to protect the residential neighborhoods. o Enhance the visual appearance of the community Ensure that uses or land development regulations provide adequate safeguards to protect the visual appearance of the community. 92 The Entrances to the City: Planning Areas I and V Planning Areas I and V have the pivotal role of being the entrances to the City of Boynton Beach. As such, it is important that these two planning areas provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance; a good first impression. Additionally, while Areas I and V contain commercial uses, the impression is one of residential character. The overall goal, therefore, for these two planning areas is to provide a strong residential base that is aesthetically inviting. Many of the strategies for these two areas are similar to those of adjacent planning areas, with a notable exception concerning a lesser intensity of use. The following strategies will further the overall redevelopment goal: o Encourage a variety of housing. Develop intensity standards that allow for a variety of housing styles and types at intensities that will assist in supporting the downtown area and general economic expansion. o Protect community character. Establish standards to protect the character of the residential community that could be affected by the development of multiple, similar types of uses. This will encourage a diversity of nonresidential, uses. Additionally, non- residential uses should be community serving in nature, as opposed to those uses that are heavy commercial uses, those that are automobile oriented, or those that are generally not considered to be neighborhood oriented. o Require a transition to the adjacent gateway neighborhoods. Create development standards in the city entrance communities that establish a logical transition to the gateway communities. Building scale, massing and placement should be less intense than that of the adjacent planning areas, but substantial enough to announce an arrival in the City. o Require compatibility between uses. Create development standards that provide for adequate setbacks and buffering between residential and non-residential uses to protect the residential neighborhoods. o Enhance the visual appearance of the community Ensure that uses or land development regulations provide adequate safeguards to protect the visual appearance of the community. 93 In addition to these strategies that are specific to the defined planning areas, the following strategies are recommended for the entire Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Area: o Provide consistency between existing uses and the zoning and land use map. There are instances within the planning areas where zoning is not consistent with land use, or where existing uses are not consistent with zoning requirements. Regulations should be created and implemented to provide conformity. o Emphasize major activity nodes. Nodes of activity or transitions to other neighborhoods, such as the major signalized intersections, should be emphasized through mechanisms such as building placement, orientation and architectural features. o Improve visual appearance with coordinated sign age. Signs throughout the entire corridor lack aesthetic appeal and continuity of style. Regulations can address these issues. o Consider a public presence. The entire Federal Highway Corridor is devoid of any public presence. Establishing a public building such as a library, fire station or similar use could contribute to community stability by providing a landmark or focus. o Recognize historical resources. The few remaining historical structures within the planning area should be offered a measure of protection. Regulations should recognize that many of these buildings will be unlikely to meet development standards and allow their continuation, either as their intended use or adapted for new uses. 94 SECTION VII REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS The programs and projects listed below will implement the redevelopment strategies discussed in Section VI. These programs and projects should be implemented to eliminate or decrease the blighting influences found in the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Area, as well as enhance the corridor's long term viability. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Recommendation 1: Amend the Comprehensive Plan text to create two subcategories of land use within the land use plan designation of Mixed Use, amending the current language as appropriate. The first category should be a Mixed Use-High (MU-H) and the other a Mixed Use- Low (MU-L). The MU-H would apply to the core downtown area, which is Planning Area III. The MU-L would apply to the gateway communities, which are Planning Areas II and IV. The MU-L designation would be less intense than the MU-H, with an emphasis on residential with neighborhood serving retail. Purpose: This will establish the requisite legal basis for land use plan and code amendments. Recommendation 2: Amend the Future Land Use Plan Map to redesignate the downtown, Area III, as Mixed Use-High, and to redesignate the gateway communities, Areas II and IV, as Mixed Use-Low. Purpose: This will establish the desired hierarchy of land uses leading into the downtown area. 95 Recommendation 3. Amend the Future Land Use Map to remove existing conforming single family neighborhoods east of Federal Highway, proximate to the Intracoastal Waterway from the Mixed Use land use category. Purpose: This would provide some measure of assurance to the property owners that these areas will not be easily converted to mixed use developments. New Development Standards Recommendation 4: Create development standards for the MU-H district. Specifically consider eliminating restrictions on density, but maintaining control of the visual appearance of development. Creative, well planned development will be able to provide additional residential units that will contribute positively to a vibrant and successful downtown while meeting height limitations imposed by the City. According to the current provisions in the zoning code, height is restricted throughout Boynton Beach to 45 feet with a maximum Central Business District density of 40 units per acre and a conditional maximum height of 100 feet. Because of the very compact area of the downtown in combination with the desire to make the downtown a clear focal point in the community, this intensity of development is not sufficient to achieve the desired goals for downtown development and redevelopment. As a result, the City should not include a density maximum in the future MU-H, which is the recommended designation for Area III, and increase the maximum height in Area III from 100 feet to 150 feet. This will create a more prominent visual focal point and establish the desirable level of activity in the downtown area. Additionally, consider eliminating the 96 following uses that may otherwise be permitted or conditionally permitted in the current CBD zoning category: 0 Auction houses 0 Bus terminals 0 Drive-thru facilities 0 Funeral homes 0 Motels (not hotels) 0 Outdoor storage or display o Private parking garages (allow public parking garages) o Vehicle related uses, such as: gas stations; auto parts, storage, rental, display, repaIr facilities; detailing or car washes Consider allowing the following that are otherwise conditionally permitted or not addressed in the current CBD zoning category: o Allow multi-family residential uses as a permitted rather than conditional use if the entire first floor is dedicated to commercial, retail or office uses o Specifically encourage tourist oriented uses that have a water orientation Purpose: This will encourage development and redevelopment that is pedestrian and not automobile oriented, as well provide an attractive development environment for a conference style hotel. Note: Proposed areas for the MU-H and MU-L zoning districts are shown on Map 7.1 on page 103. Recommendation 5: Create development standards for the MU-L district. Specifically, as with the MU-H district, consider eliminating restrictions on density, but maintaining control of the visual appearance of development through height limitations. Increase the maximum height in these two areas only to 75 feet and eliminate density requirements. This height is half 97 of that which is recommended for the downtown area and will provide an appropriate transition from the gateway communities to the central business area. In addition, consider eliminating the following types of vehicle oriented, non- neighborhood serving uses that may be otherwise permitted in the current gateway neighborhoods: o Adult entertainment establishments o Auction houses o Bus terminals o Lumber yards and building material stores, including sales to contractors o Rooming and boarding houses o Sale of ammunition and firearms o Taxicab parking o Trade or business labor pools o Outdoor storage and display o Vehicle and boat service related uses, such as:; auto parts, storage, rental, display,; detailing or vehicle washes o Wholesaling Consider allowing regulations that provide for the following as conditional uses: o Grocery or food stores sized between 15,000 square feet and 80,000 square feet o Drive-thru facilities o Gas stations and auto repair shops that meet established locational and design criteria Purpose: This will establish an aesthetically pleasing, logical transition into the downtown area; provide for neighborhood serving uses rather than those that are transient or vehicle oriented; and, provide additional population to support the downtown. Note: Proposed areas for the MU-H and MU-L zoning districts are shown on Map 7.1 on page 103. 98 RecommendationS: Provide for appropriate locations of houses of worship, schools and similar institutions to ensure that they have a balanced distribution throughout the community. Purpose: Such regulations will ensure a balance of these community serving land uses throughout the City. Recommendation 6: Protect residential neighborhoods. It has been generally recognized that there are some uses which, because of their very nature, are identified as having serious objectionable characteristics. Specifically, there are studies that exist that demonstrate that adult uses result in an adverse secondary effect on adjacent properties. Further, it is recognized that local governments have powers to regulate establishments that serve alcoholic beverages. As a result, the City should consider developing regulations for the placement of facilities that serve alcoholic beverages, particularly adult entertainment facilities that serve alcohol because the deleterious effect on surrounding areas that have already been declared to be in a blighted condition. Distance separations between land that is land use planned or zoned to allow residential uses and facilities that provide for the sales of alcohol should be established in the range of 750 feet to 1,500 feet, consistent with requirements in other municipalities. The ability of adult facilities that serve alcohol that do not meet the distance separation requirement should be amortized. Recommendation 7: Develop signage standards that address in detail issues such as sign height; width; style; lettering; color; placement; landscaping; and, content. Define signage, including a definition concerning advertising on commercial vehicles and prohibition of parking such vehicles in a manner that constitutes signage proximate to the right of way. Require new signs or substantial repairs to existing signs to comply with the regulations. Purpose: Detailed sign regulations will greatly enhance the appearance of the corridor. 99 Design Criteria Recommendation 8: Develop a design program for structures, slgnage and street furniture, that includes the implementation of a color palate and architectural themes in the context of the downtown and gateway communities. Purpose: The program will create a sense of identity and visual appeal for the redevelopment area. Recommendation 9: Create land development regulations for Areas II, III and IV that address building placement, parking, parking location, mixed uses, and pedestrian chanalization. Incorporate the following guidelines: o Landscape programs and standards should be developed o Parking for uses should not be located contiguous to Federal Highway o Shared parking standards should be reviewed o Standards for payment in lieu of providing parking should be developed for Area III o Buildings on Federal Highway should have the appearance of multi-story structures o Incentives should be provided for developing mixed use projects o Pedestrian unloading or drop-off areas should be considered as a requirement o Standards to identify nodes of activity, such as signalized intersections, should be developed within the corridor o Structures should be designed to discourage mid-block crossings on Federal Highway by providing pedestrian access at the corners of intersections o Standards should be developed to allow a limited number of automobile related uses, such as gas stations and auto repairs, to locate in the planning areas with a lessened impact on the corridor while providing essential services to the residents Purpose: Development standards will create a sense of place, reduce the blighted appearance, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Federal Highway Corridor. Specific Projects to Implement Redevelopment Project 1 - Convention Hotel: Assemble a three to five acre size parcel of land in the downtown, which is Area III, and market it for a convention style hotel. The market analysis 100 contained in Section IV of this study indicates that there is a market niche in Boynton Beach for a water oriented convention type hotel recommended in the 1984 CRA plan. While acquisition of land for use as a hotel site may eliminate some of the retail uses from the tax base, the net result would be a significant increase in the tax base. The increase would result from new construction designed for better utilization of land. For example, in the year 2000, the Lake Worth water oriented hotel, which is of minimal convention size, had a taxable value of more than $2.5 million that resulted in ad valorem revenues of $69.6 thousand. Similarly, the Delray hotel property had a total taxable value of more than $19.9 million for total ad valorem revenues of almost $524.8 thousand, while the Manalapan property was valued at $64.4 million for a total of $1.22 million in ad valorem revenues. Project 2 - Public Parking: Assemble property in the downtown area, which is Area III, on the west side of Federal Highway for use as surface parking. As demand increases, the property could be developed as a parking garage to serve the downtown area. The garage could contain mixed uses at grade level and on upper stories to enhance activity in the downtown. Project 3 - City Entrance Signage: Clearly mark the arrival and departure points to the City of Federal Highway by installing visible, attractive signs at the appropriate locations. Remove any existing signs that are no longer at the entrance to the city due to municipal expansion. Consider identifying the downtown and gateway communities as well. Project 4 - Establish a Public Presence: All planning areas except planning Area II have some type of public presence. Establish a highly visible public use in Area II. A library, fire station or police substation would be an ideal use in this area to provide service to the northern portion of the city. Location on the west side of Federal Highway would be preferable for fire or police facilities to reduce noise impacts on adjacent residential uses. If a public facility is located 101 on the west side, the CRA should work with the Department of Transportation to obtain a median opening for emergency vehicles. Project 5 - Address Outdoor Storage: Outdoor storage and display presents visual blight at both the south end of the corridor and in Area II. At the south end of the corridor, where outdoor display is located largely in the unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County. The City should initiate efforts to work with Palm Beach to discontinue this practice. In the remaining areas that are within the City of Boynton Beach, the City should amortize out the outdoor storage and display within the Federal Highway Corridor. Project 6 - Provide Pedestrian Crossings: At major nodes of activity such as signalized intersections, implement a program for unique materials and designs for pedestrian crossings. In addition, work with the Department of Transportation to "bulb out" the sidewalks at these intersections~ This will afford pedestrians slightly more non-vehicular area, and tends to have the effect of slowing traffic somewhat because of the visual perception of small travel lanes. 102 Federal Highway Corridor Proposed Zoning Map 7.1 Legend Proposed Zoning - R-3 750 0 1,500 Feet - MU-H1GH D R-l - MU-llYN'.I D R-1A - Mu-uwn 0 R-1M - MU-LCIM 11III Rrc 103 SECTION VIII NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS OF REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The redevelopment area contains a number of residential units. The following section describes the potential impacts of redevelopment efforts on the residential neighborhoods of the redevelopment area and surrounding areas. While the potential impacts of the recommended programs and projects have been identified, it is possible that impacts resulting from implementation of redevelopment actions may be undetermined. As a result, the potential neighborhood impacts of site specific projects will be evaluated as each is presented for consideration by the Community Redevelopment Agency. Development regulations for the Mixed Use zoning districts are written to protect existing conforming single family residential areas; however, two established single family neighborhood exist within Planning Area II that have a Mixed Use land use designation and are zoned for single family residential development. While these neighborhoods are not considered to be non-conforming, residents of these areas have some misgivings about the possible conversion of their property, and have requested the land use designation be amended to a Low Density Residential designation. In order to assuage their fears, the City should move forward with this request. In addition to providing a measure of comfort to the property owners, it will reduce the potential number of residents needing to be evacuated in a major storm event, since all of these properties are located in the Hurricane Evacuation Zone. It will also make it more difficult for the land to be considered for a higher density land use designation in the future. 104 Traffic Circulation The redevelopment area contains an existing roadway network that services the entire area, with Federal Highway serving as the main transportation artery of the corridor. Because Federal Highway serves the surrounding neighborhoods and major redevelopment is anticipated to occur proximate to it, redevelopment activities are not anticipated to effect traffic circulation within the residential areas. The major effects of redevelopment efforts on the existing roadway system will occur through efforts to revitalize and redevelop the core downtown area; Planning Area III. The development and redevelopment of a compact downtown core should have a positive effect by encouraging alternate means of transportation, particularly where employment, entertainment and housing are within walking distance of each other. A recommended component of redevelopment in Area III, along with the gateway communities of Area II and IV, is sufficient housing to support the downtown. This will afford residents the opportunity to walk or utilize alternative modes of transportation for work, shopping or dining. Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects may reqUIre improvements or modifications to the existing roadway network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when specific project design is undertaken. Architectural design should minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflicts, while signage programs and design guidelines will enhance the general appearance of the corridor. Community Facilities and Services Redevelopment activity within the Federal Highway corridor redevelopment area is expected to have a positive impact on community facilities and services. In 2005, the City's Fire/Rescue Station 4 was constructed on Federal Highway just south ofSE 18th Avenue. This is 105 the City's only fire/rescue facility east of the FEC railroad, and should have a positive effect on response times and insurance rates for properties located in the Federal Highway Corridor. The plan proposes to add a public presence in Planning Area II, where such a presence does not currently exist. In addition, the plan proposes residential development and redevelopment of areas around the core downtown that will provide a variety of housing for all individuals, and commercial development and redevelopment that will be neighborhood serving. Effect on School Population There are no existing public schools within the redevelopment area. The redevelopment area lies within two of the Palm Beach County School District's Concurrency Service Areas (CSA); 17 and 19. These service areas are used in assessing public school concurrency. Table 8.1 shows the design capacity for all schools by type compared to 2004/2005 fiscal year and projected percentage of utilization over the ensuing six years for each of the two CSAs.

One of the recommended components of this redevelopment plan includes the provision of additional housing units to strengthen the viability of the core downtown area. The additional housing units anticipated, however, will likely be apartment units located proximate to the 106 downtown. Because of the unit style and location, it is likely that the resident population of these units will be predominantly single or two person households. As a result, the impact on the school population should be minimal. The effects of specific redevelopment projects with a residential component that creates a net increase in housing are reviewed by the School District on an individual basis as they are proposed. Relocation Impacts As a result of redevelopment activities, a relative few relocation activities are anticipated to occur. It is not the intent of this redevelopment plan for the CRA to undertake activities that would cause large scale dislocation of existing residents. Rather, it is anticipated that residential redevelopment projects undertaken by the private sector may initially result in the need for relocation on a temporary basis, but will ultimately result in additional housing units available in the redevelopment area. Environmental Quality The redevelopment programs and projects suggested by this plan are intended to improve the overall environmental quality. The architectural guidelines, improved signage and zoning changes for will have a positive impact on surrounding residential areas. 107 SECTION IX GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The underlying concept behind the goals and objectives contained in the original Community Redevelopment Plan for the downtown core are still applicable, with minor revisions to address changing circumstances.

BACKGROUND Mr. Michael Weiner, Esquire, agent for the applicant (New Century Companies, LLC) is requesting a one (1)- year time extension for the Heritage Club at Boynton Beach Site Plan Development Order (NWSP 05-014) which was approved by the City Commission on August 2, 2005. The site plan approval is valid for one (1) year from the date of approval. If this request for a one (l)-year time extension were approved, the expiration date of this site plan, including concurrency certification would be extended to August 2, 2007. According to the original site plan staff report, the proposed Heritage Club at Boynton Beach is a Planned Unit Development approved for a large scale, mixed-use project containing 19,538 sq. ft. of commercial (office, retail and restaurant) and 166 multi-family residential units. The project has been approved for the following: a Land Use amendment (LUAR 05-005) from Local Retail Commercial (LRC) to Special High Density Residential (SHDR - 20 du/ac) classification, a Rezoning (LUAR 05-005) from Community Commercial (C-3) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district, a new Site Plan (NWSP 05-014), and a Height Exception (HTEX 05- 004). The subject property is currently developed with a one (l)-story shopping center and related parking areas. Redevelopment of the site includes razing the existing commercial buildings and replacing them with two (2) proposed 4-story mixed-use buildings, including their interior parking garages, and thirteen (13) 3-story townhouse buildings. The approved site plan divides the property into two distinct areas, both in function and in architectural design. The proposed commercial uses would be placed on the ground floors of two (2) four-story structures along the Federal Highway frontage and include 9,494 square feet of retail space, 6,544 square feet of office space and a restaurant containing 3,500 square. feet of space. Condominium residential uses would occupy the upper floors. To the west of the mixed use building on the north would be a residential building, also containing four stories. This building and the mixed use building fronting on Federal Highway would contain a total of 84 residential units. The south mixed use building would have 12 residential units on the upper floors. A five-unit townhouse structure, three stories in height, would be located west of the south mixed use building. The two mixed use structures, separated by a "main street" that forms an enby into the property from Federal Highway, will connect with the townhouse uses on the western portion of the site. The north buildings will enclose a four-level parking structure, two (2) outdoor recreation areas and a one-story clubhouse/activity area. The south commercial building and the adjacent townhouses will enclose a 2-level parking structure. The proposed broad sidewalks and landscaped plazas along Federal Highway create pedestrian-friendly areas. West of the mixed-use structures, 65 three-story, fee-simple townhouses are proposed, with 10 fronting on Gulfstream Boulevard and 17 fronting on Old Dixie Highway. The remaining 38 units are internal to the project. A swimming pool and clubhouse are provided for use by the townhouse occupants. In addition to the access to the townhouse area provided from the "main street", a secondary access is provided on Gulfstream Boulevard and a one-way service road is provided from Federal Highway to Old Dixie Highway at the north of the property. Page 3 Memorandum No. PZ 05-140 The mixed use buildings and their adjacent residential structures are designed in a "post-modern" architectural style, while the townhouses are "traditional" in design. In using different architectural styles, the developers have created two distinct areas for the development, with the more vibrant and urbane mixed use portion along Federal Highway and a quieter residential portion along Gulfstream Boulevard and Old Dixie Highway. Consistent with the requirements of staff, the applicant has provided an additional 20 feet of right-of-way along Old Dixie Highway and will be providing off-site improvements along Old Dixie Highway and Gulfstream Boulevard, which include on-street parking, drainage improvements and sidewalks. Sidewalks fronting the mixed use portion along Federal Highway will be widened to form pedestrian-friendly plazas. A Height Exception (HTEX 05-004) was also approved for this project at the time of site plan approval. The height exception is only for the mixed-use buildings (Buildings 1 and 2) that have portions of their structures that exceed the district's maximum height threshold of 45 feet. The elevations show that several decorative towers would reach as high as 60 feet in height, however they account for a small percentage (10%) of the entire roofline. Both mixed-use buildings would meet code as it relates to building height because their roof level would be 41 feet in height and the top of the parapet wall would be 46 feet in height. The parapet wall may exceed the 45-foot threshold only if the wall itself is five (5) feet or less in height. Approval of the requested site plan time extension will also extend the previously approved height exception for the mixed use buildings. ANALYSIS According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have one (1) year to secure a building permit from the Development Department". 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 application for time extension on May 24, 2006, a total of 70 days prior to the expiration date of the new site plan. According to the time extension application, Mr. Mankoff indicates that the property owner / developer, New Century Companies LLC, has been "diligently working to secure a building permit for the project" and lists the following accomplishments as demonstrating their "good faith" efforts: (1) site permit, plat, and other engineering permit applications have been submitted; (2) construction documents are approximately sixty percent (60%) complete; (3) environmental report approved for remediation of dry cleaners, and (4) capacity reservation fees in the amount of $30,120.55 have been paid in full to the City. A more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with (traffic) concurrency requirements. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division approved the traffic study for the Heritage Club project containing 19,538 sq. ft. of commercial (office, retail and restaurant) and 166 multi-family residential units. Based on the Traffic Division's review, it has been determined that the residential portion of the proposed mixed-use redevelopment project is located within the Coastal Residential Exception Areas of Palm Beach County which exempts residential units from traffic concurrency requirements, while the retail and office components would generate less daily and peak hour trips than the existing retail space which is to be demolished. The project meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County, but is contingent upon the provision of a southbound exclusive right-turn lane onto the project access driveway on North Federal Highway. No building permits are to be issued after the build-out date of 2008. Page 4 Memorandum No. PZ 05-140 As for utilities, the applicant has paid the required utility reservation fee to the City, however the reservation will expire on August 31, 2006. Per the Utilities Director, if the applicant obtains building permits or pays the full capital facilities charge prior to the August 31, 2006 expiration date, the reservation will not have to be renewed. otherwise, the applicant will be subject to applying for a renewal of the utilities reservation (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). The site plan time extension is still subject to the original 71 conditions of site plan approval, with the exception of Condition #9, regarding payment of the utilities reservation fee. Lastly, no new land development regulations are now in place against which the project should be reviewed and modified. SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request for a one (1 )-year time extension of the site plan (NWSP 05-014) and height exception (HTEX 05-004) for the Heritage Club at Boynton Beach project. If this request for extension were approved, the expiration of this site plan, including concurrency certification, would be extended to August 2, 2007. Staff is generally in favor of the redevelopment efforts represented by the approved site plan, which serves to promote the goals of the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan toward greater residential uses in this area and economic revitalization. The proposed Heritage Club at Boynton Beach project will provide an opportunity for redevelopment in a highly visible entrance corridor to the City, increase the value of adjacent and nearby properties, and contribute to the overall economic development of the City. In addition, the Heritage Club project is proposed at a scale and massing that will proVide a transition into the downtown area and provide a variety of housing and mixed uses on site. If this request for site plan time extension is approved, all outstanding conditions of approval from the original site plan must still be satisfactorily addressed during the building permit process.

He was looking for strong sturdy fencing to keep animals, vagrants and truck noise out. He thought the fence was of good design and a suitable replacement offering security, aesthetics and safety. All property owners within 400 feet were noticed. Ms. Zeitler clarified the two foot limited access easement was within FPL's six (6) foot utility easement. The western edge had a two (2) foot limited access easement and to the east of that was the remaining four (4) feet of the FPL easement. A neighborhood homeowner agreed with the comments made by Mr. Forester. She expressed her home was broken into in February and the fence needed to be addressed. Ms. Bonnie Altadonna, a resident for 31 years, expressed concern with the dilapidated condition of the fence and pieces of the fence were falling down. She asked where the liability rests. Motion Ms. Heavilin moved to approve the request for relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.L. Ms. Horenburger seconded the motion that unanimously passed. B. Heritage Club Site Plan Time Extension Project: Agent: Heritage Club (SPTE 06-006) Michael S. Weiner, Esquire and Jason S. Mankoff of Weiner & Aaronson, P.A. New Century Companies, LLC Northwest corner of the intersection of Federal Highway and Gulfstream Boulevard Request for a one-year Site Plan Time Extension for approved site plan and height exception granted on August 2, 2005, from August 2, 2006 to August 2, 2007. Location: Description: Ms. Zeitler, Planning and Zoning, presented the request. The project was approved for 6,544 square feet of office, 9,494 square feet of retail, 3,500 square feet of restaurant, 70 townhome units and 96 multi-family units on 8.3 acres. The applicant received a land use amendment from Local Retail Commercial (LRC) to Special High Density Residential, a rezoning from Community Commercial to PUD and a new site plan and height exception. The applicant was requesting a time extension of one year. The site plan was originally approved on August 2, 2005. Ms. Zeitler explained if the applicants did not have their building permit by the expiration of the one-year time period, they would need to apply for an extension. The request, if granted, would change the new the extension to August 2/ 2007 and would include their concurrency certification. Staff recommended approval, subject to the 71 conditions of 4 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 11, 2006 approval. The environmental report has been approved for remediation of the dry-cleaners and the Capacity Reservation Fee in the amount of $30,120.55 has been paid in full. Ashley Vargo, Weiner & Aaronson, 209 N. Sea crest Blvd., representing the co-applicant, New Century Companies, LLC, agreed with staff and the presentation. She clarified New Century Companies LLC was the contract vendee and co-applicant with 3,600 Holdings LLC who was the actual owner of the property. Ms. Heavilin asked for the basis of the request. Ms. Vargo indicated the hurricane slowed them down as did the remediation approvals for the dry-cleaners. Ms. Horenburger inquired why the client had not acquired the property and thought by this time, the property would have been acquired. She also announced they had previously discussed the site plans they see on a regular basis that cannot meet the one year deadline. She wanted to make a motion the CRA formally ask the City Commission to have site plan approvals last for 18 months as opposed to one year. This concept would be discussed later in the meeting. Ms. Vargo also responded the closing was set for October. Chair Tillman opened the floor for public hearing. There were no comments received. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to extend the site plan for six months to make the request an even 18 months. If the City Commission entertained what they would be discussing later, it would be consistent. Vice Chair Norem seconded the motion. Ms. Heavilin was not comfortable with the six-month extension. She felt the approval should be consistent with other site plans they have approved for 12 months. Ms. Horenburger explained this would be a starting point. Mr. DeMarco agreed with Ms. Horenburger. Ms. Zeitler explained the Code had regulations for increments of one-year time extensions. She also pointed out there were two staff conditions of approval attached to the request, one of them being the Utility Reservation Fee. Attorney Spillias indicated if the six-month extension was not in the Code, it would, in effect, constitute a denial. Ms. Zeitler read from the Code which indicated the extension could be made for up to 12 months. Ms. Vargo requested the extension for one year. Ms. Horenburger responded they could come back in six months for an extension. Vote A vote was taken on the motion. Motion passed 4-1 with Ms. Heavilin dissenting. C. Federal Highway Corridor Plan Ms. Vivian Brooks, eRA Planning Director announced the plan changes were a result of various studies conducted resulting from the 20/20 Plan. This request would make the Federal Highway Corridor Plan consistent with the consensus of several joint and City workshops. They were also updating the corridor plan with comprehensive plan changes made as a result of the adoption of the plan, which took place a few years ago. The document was the marked up draft, 5 VIII.-PUBLIC HEARING ITEM C.

Boynton Industrial Park North - Buffer Wall Relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.L - Buffer Walls, to allow a six (6) foot steel privacy fence along the west property line of Boynton Industrial Park North, in lieu of the required six (6) foot stucco masonry buffer wall required to separate an industrial zoning district from an abutting residential zoning district. The site is located west of 1-95 and north of Boynton Beach Boulevard (see Exhibit "A" Location Map). The subject property, totaling 0.078 acre, is currently zoned M- 1 (Light Industrial) and classified Industrial (I). The subject property is legally described as the west two (2) feet of the Plat of Boynton Beach Industrial Park North, less the north 332.40 feet. More specifically, the subject property is a strip of land two feet wide by 1,705 feet in length which is located between the eastern limits of Laurel Hills Subdivision (3rd and 4th Additions) and the 60 foot right of way of West Industrial Avenue, at the western limits of Boynton Industrial Park North (see Exhibit "B"). The following is a description of the land uses and zoning designation of the properties that surround this site: Right-of-way (285 feet in width) for Boynton Canal (C-16), farther north (across canal) property classified Industrial (I), zoned Planned Industrial District (PID) and developed as industrial uses; Page 2 Memorandum No. PZ 06-132 ZNCV 06-008 South: Tract "B" including a 50 foot easement along the west property line of Boynton Industrial Park classified Industrial (I), zoned light Industrial (M-I), and developed as industrial; East: Right-of-way (60 feet in width) for West Industrial Avenue, and farther east property classified Industrial (I), zoned light Industrial (M-I), and developed with industrial uses as Boynton Industrial Park North; and, West: Property classified low Density Residential (lOR), zoned Single Family Residential (R-IA), and developed as a single family residential subdivision (laurel Hills, 3rd and 4th Additions). NATURE OF REQUEST The subject property is a two (2) foot strip of land platted as part of Boynton Beach Industrial Park North. The subject property lies between a residential subdivision (laurel Hills) and a 60 foot right-Of-way (West Industrial Avenue). Currently, there is a masonry buffer wall located on the subject property, but over the years it has fallen into disrepair and must be replaced. The Boynton Industrial Park Property Owners Association, Inc., owner of the subject property, is requesting a zoning code variance to seek relief from Chapter 2, Section 4.l. of the current land Development Regulations which states as follows: l. BUFFER WAllS. For new construction or major modification to existing developments, where a commercial and/or industrial district abuts a residential district, a solid, stucco masonry wall painted on both sides at least six (6) feet in height shall be located within the required side and/or rear yards except with respect to corner lots, said buffer walls shall be required only on interior lot lines. Said buffer walls shall not abridge any easement rights or be constructed over any existing utilities in any easement area and shall be setback two (2) feet from adjoining property lines. The applicant explains that due to the narrowness of the subject property and the existing easements, a masonry wall can not possibly comply with the current setback requirement of two (2) feet without encroaching into the adjacent FPl easement located within the right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to construct a steel privacy fence (in lieu of the masonry wall) within the two (2) foot wide strip owned by the Industrial Park, in order to comply with the setback and encroachment restrictions of buffer walls. Industrial properties, due to the intensity of their uses, are required to provide for additional buffering to minimize land use conflicts when located adjacent to residential neighborhoods. landscaping elements, including dense vegetation, berms, and buffer walls, can proVide ~ffective barriers, and mitigate the impacts of unattractive views, vehicle headlights, and noise, Nithout sacrificing the functional necessities of the industrial site. Page 3 Memorandum No. PZ 06-132 ZNCV 06-008 The buffer wall is required only along the west property line of the Boynton Industrial Park North where it is adjacent to residential lots. The west property line of the Boynton Industrial Park North runs north and south, parallel with West Industrial Avenue, for a length of 1,705 feet. The west property line also comprises the rear property lines of the adjacent residential lots in Laurel Hills. The buffer wall is required to be at least six (6) feet in height and located at least two (2) feet from the property line so that it can be maintained without trespassing onto adjacent properties. The applicant is proposing to construct a six (6) foot steel fence in lieu of the required minimum six (6) foot masonry wall. The variance request is to the construction material of the buffer wall, and is necessary to comply with the required setback and prevent encroachment into an easement. The proposed steel fence is manufactured by Basteel Perimeter Systems (www.Basteel.com) and consists of precision-formed, high strength steel posts, rails, and panels, all galvanized for superior corrosion resistance, with a custom bonded color-coat finish intended to resist fading, chalking, and peeling (see Exhibit "e"). This low maintenance fence is hurricane-rated for 140 miles per hour wind load and consists of a unique, alternating panel design which promotes air flow, yet provides screening. The panels are finished on both sides for an equally attractive front and back of the fence. The applicant proposes a six (6) foot white steel fence to replace the worn masonry louvered fence/wall. A few sections of the proposed fence have been installed on the subject property for inspection purposes. BACKGROUND Boynton Beach Industrial Park North was platted in 1981 (Plat Book 43, Pages 20-22) and includes the following note under Dedication and Reservation 2. Easements C. "The 2.00 foot limited access easement along the west line of the plat as shown hereon is for the construction and maintenance of a buffer wall and is hereby dedicated to the Boynton Industrial Park Property Owner's Association, Inc. and is the perpetual maintenance obligation of said Association". Within the area reserved for the buffer wall is a two (2) foot wide limited access easement which is indicated on the recorded plat and survey submitted. The applicant indicates that the existing masonry (louvered) buffer wall was constructed in the early 1980's and met the zoning code requirements at the time. However, the existing buffer wall does not comply with the two (2) foot setback from the adjoining residential property which is required by the current code. Therefore, the existing buffer wall is considered to be a nonconforming structure by today's standards. A nonconforming structure may undergo normal maintenance and repair and remain nonconforming. However, total replacement of the wall is necessary, and a new wall is required by the code to comply with current requirements. Justification for the requested variance was submitted by the applicant (see Exhibit "0"). The applicant's justification statement indicates that due to the narrow (2 foot) width of the subject property, and an adjoining FPL utility easement within the right-of-way, replacement of the existing masonry wall with another masonry wall would require large continuous footers which would either not comply with the two (2) foot setback, or would encroach into the FPL easement Page 4 Memorandum No. PZ 06-] 32 ZNCV 06-008 and right-of-way, or both. FPL's letter states that no encroachment into the easement will be allowed (see Exhibit "E"). The City Engineer has reviewed the applicant's request and finds the following: (1) that the repair or replacement with a masonry wall is impractical due to the limited width (two-feet) of the limited access easement and its location at the edge of a FP&L easement; and (2) that the proposed steel fence, in lieu of the masonry wall, is compatible and meets the intent of the requirement to screen the industrial uses from the adjacent residential uses (see Exhibit "F"). ANALYSIS The Board has the authority to grant a variance that will not be contrary to the public interest when, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the city ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship. However, the code states that a zoning code variance cannot be approved unless the board finds the following: a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same Zoning district. The narrow strip of land on which the subject buffer wall is required to be installed lies between a residential subdivision and a 60 foot right-of-way. The two (2) foot wide strip of land contains a two (2) foot limited access easement for maintenance of the required buffer wall. The plat for Boynton Industrial Park indicates that the two (2) foot limited access easement is included within a six (6) foot Florida Power & Light utility easement. Replacement of the existing masonry wall is necessary due to disrepair. However, replacement with a similar masonry louvered wall would use of a crane, which staff understands to be precluded by the existence of overhead power lines within the FPL easement. Current code requirements regarding setbacks and easement encroachment cannot be met without the requested variance due to site constraints. b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant At the time the existing buffer wall was constructed, it complied with code requirements. Due to code revisions since then that stipulate that "said buffer walls shall not abridge any easement rights or be constructed over any existing utilities in any easement area and shaH be setback two (2) feet from adjoining property lines", a variance to this provision is required, and is not due to actions of the applicant. c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. This site and it's constraints present a unique situation that is not applicable to others in the same zoning district. The granting of the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant that is denied by the ordinance to others. Page 5 Memorandum No. PZ 06-] 32 ZNCV 06-008 cf. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. Literal interpretation of the provIsions of the ordinance regarding the buffer wall requirements would present an undue hardship on the applicant. Due to the two (2) foot width of the subject property and the adjacent utility easement, it is not pOSSible for a masonry wall to comply with the two (2) foot setback, and not encroach into the adjacent utility easement. The utility provider (FPL) has denied permission to encroach into the easement (see Exhibit "Et'). e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make pOSSible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. The applicant is requesting the minimum variance, in that the variance requests a buffer wall of an alternative material other than masonry, to allow the proposed buffer wall to comply with the required setback and not encroach into the adjacent utility easement. The applicant is proposing to construct a six (6) foot high steel fence which is hurricane- rated for 140 mile per hour wind speeds, in lieu of a masonry wall. f. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or othelWise detrimental to the public welfare. The granting of the variance will meet the general intent and purpose of the ordinance, which is to buffer industrially-zoned property from residentially-zoned property with a continuous barrier. Granting of such variance will not be injurious to the area or detrimental to the welfare of the public. g. Variances to minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements, that property is not available from adjacent properties in order to meet these requirements, or that the acquisition of such property would cause the adjacent property or structures to becoming nonconforming. Applicant shall provide an affidavit with the application for variance stating that the above mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional property. This criteria is not applicable to the requested variance. The requested variance is to the building materials of the required masonry wall, not a variance to the minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request for a variance from the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.L - Buffer Walls, to allow a steel fence in lieu of the required minimum six (6) foot high stucco masonry buffer wall to separate an industrial district from the abutting residential district. It is the position of staff that the Page 6 Memorandum No. PZ 06-132 ZNCV 06-008 applicant has demonstrated that this request represents an undue hardship or the minimum necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the property. The purpose of the buffer requirement is to provide a visual and noise barrier between the residential and industrial properties. Due to site constraints, there are no alternative solutions which comply with the code requirements without the need for the requested variance. Staff conditions and any other condition(s) recommended by the Community Redevelopment Agency Board or the City Commission will be included in Exhibit "G" - Conditions of Approval.

A. Strip of land, owned by BIPPOA on which subject buffer wall is required to be installed, is only two (2') feet wide and is located at the western extremity of a long standing FPL Utility' Easement ER No.7034 granted August 19, 1961 (O.R.B. 672, Pgs. 40-41) and the eastern extremity of Laurel Hills Third Addition (Plat Book 23, Page 126) and Fourth Addition (Plat Book 23, Page 142). B. The dedicated property on which the present buffer wall was constructed during early 1980's by developer complied with the codes in existence at that time. Allotted space is inadequate for oompliance with current codes without variance. c. Weare unaware of any similar circumstanceS in zoning district that would be adversely affected by requested varianCe. D. Code requirements for building a concrete, masonry or stucco wall without encroaching on another property or easement is not possible within the 2' strip of land owned by BIPPOA. Enclosed please fiDd copy of a letter from Florida Power & Light, dated. April 7, 2006 and under the signature of Joseph O'Hagen, which denies any encroachment upon their easement. This obviously produces an Wltenablehardship upon land and BIPPOA. EXHIBIT "0" Page 2 E. The only alternative we have found meeting the 140 mph hurricane code and feasible to install within the 2' space is the Basteel shadow box buffer. wall/fence. By granting variance requested a very aesthetically pleasing and protective buffer intended by . the code can be realized. . F. Chapter (2), Section (4). Reference (L) is achieved and is in no way potentially detrimental of public welfare. G. There is no practical alternative land available for acquisition by BIPPOA on which a buffer wall that meets existing codes could be constructed. We appreciate your consideration in granting our variation request Sincerely, ~ .

David Kelley, Jr., PE/PSMV City Engineer DATE: June 23,2006 SUBJECT: Buffer Wall Variance Boynton Industrial Park North Pursuant to your e-mail dated yesterday, we have reviewed your request in regards to the installation of a metal fence in lieu of a "stuccoed masonary wall and/or a engineered pre-cast concrete slat wall, etc. Since the record plat reflects only a 2-foot Limited Access Easement (LAB) between the record plat property line and the edge of a FP & L easement, a replacement wall of this type and size would be impractical. Therefore, the repair/replacement of the required masonry material is not recommended. Upon review the material for the proposed Basteel Perimeter System steel wall, we find it to be compatible and meets the intention of the original development condition of a screen wall between this industrial development and the residential units to the west. Maintenance will also be an added benefit in that it will require less effort. Therefore, it finds this alternative acceptable to the original condition. , If you have any questions regarding this matter, please me at telephone extension #6988. xc: Laurinda Logan, PE, Senior Engineer - File S:\Engineering\ Memorandums\Memorandums 2006\06--069 KELLEY- Industrial Park North Buffer Wall Varience.doc EXHIBIT "G" Conditions of Approval Project name: Boynton Industrial Park North Buffer Wall File number: ZNCV 06-008 Reference: DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT PUBLIC WORKS- General Comments: None PUBLIC WORKS- Traffic Comments: None UTILITIES Comments: None FIRE Comments: None POLICE Comments: None ENGINEERING DIVISION Comments: None BUILDING DIVISION Comments: None PARKS AND RECREATION Comments: None FORESTERlENVlRONMENT ALIST Comments: None PLANNING AND ZONING Comments: None ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD COMMENTS Conditions of Approval 2 DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT Comments: 1.

Boynton Industrial Park North Zoning Code Variance Project: Owner: Location: Boynton Industrial Park North (ZNCV 0-008) Merle Denbesten Boynton Industrial Park POA, Inc. West of 1-95 and north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Strip of land two feet wide by 1,705 feet in length located west of the 60 foot right-of-way of West Industrial Avenue, opposite lots 118 of the laurel Hills Subdivision (3rd Addition) through lots 165 laurel Hills Subdivision (4th Addition), which are located north of NW 8th Avenue. Request relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.L. buffer walls, to allow a six (6) foot steel privacy fence along the west property line of Boynton Industrial Park North, in lieu of the required six (6) foot stucco Description: 2 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 11, 2006 masonry buffer wall required to separate an industrial zoning district from an abutting residential zoning district. Attorney Spillias announced these were quasi-judicial hearings. He asked whether the board members had any ex-parte communications on Items A, B or C. There were no communications disclosed. Attorney Spillias administered the oath to all persons wishing to speak on the items. Ms. Kathleen Zeitler, Planning and Zoning presented the request. The property was located on the western limits of the industrial park. The plat indicated a two foot limited access easement along the western property line of the industrial park. She explained this was platted for maintenance of the required buffer wall. On the opposite side was an FPL Utility Easement and a 60 foot right-of-way for West Industrial Avenue. Staff reviewed the request and indicated it met the criteria for variance approval. Due to the two foot width of the property, it was not possible for the existing masonry wall to be replaced with a new masonry wall because of the footer requires three feet in width. FPL, in a letter, indicated no encroachment into the easement would be allowed. The City Engineer reviewed the request and recommended utilizing the steel fence in lieu of the masonry wall. Staff recommended approval. Vice Chair Norem had questions about encroachment of the easement, and asked whether FPL would have approved the request if the footer were underground. He also asked if the original request to FPL was to encroach three feet into their easement. Ms. Zeitler responded the letter asked to be allowed to encroach and the response was no. Mr. John Phillips, owner of lots 4 and 5, explained the issue was longstanding. The footer needed for a masonry wall was 36 inches. The association owned 24 inches, requiring a 12-inch encroachment. The letter asked for three feet and FPL denied any and all encroachments. There was a short discussion regarding follow-up. Ms. Zeitler added FPL was aware the encroachment would be an underground encroachment and had a concern their ability to repair their poles would be impaired. Mr. Phillips explained the total FPL easement was six (6) feet, of which two feet was a limited access easement. He thought if they moved into the easement even one foot, with the poles there exceeding 40 or 50 feet in height, he thought FPL's concerns centered around the conflict of those footings and the liability for the wall. There was also a short history of the existing masonry wall that needed to be replaced. Ms. Horenburger explained it was her experience if a meeting were held with FPL, sometimes accommodations could be made. Ms. Zeitler explained at the time the original wall was constructed, the Codes were different. She clarified the choices were to ask for either a variance for setbacks or encroach into the easement. She clarified the applicant has opted for the steel fence which meets hurricane wind load standards, and does not require a large footer. She elaborated because the fence could meet the two foot setback requirement, a variance for the setbacks was not required, only a variance for the materials of the fence. The steel fence met the intent to screen the industrial portion of the area from the residential. The variance criteria, specifically the "Hardship" aspect was discussed. Chair Tillman asked for public comment on this item. 3 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 11, 2006 Mr. Arthur Forester, a resident of Laurel Hills, which abuts the industrial park advised the existing fence was in shambles and in some sections, was missing. He was looking for strong sturdy fencing to keep animals, vagrants and truck noise out. He thought the fence was of good design and a suitable replacement offering security, aesthetics and safety. All property owners within 400 feet were noticed. Ms. Zeitler clarified the two foot limited access easement was within FPL's six (6) foot utility easement. The western edge had a two (2) foot limited access easement and to the east of that was the remaining four (4) feet of the FPL easement. A neighborhood homeowner agreed with the comments made by Mr. Forester. She expressed her home was broken into in February and the fence needed to be addressed. Ms. Bonnie Altadonna, a resident for 31 years, expressed concern with the dilapidated condition of the fence and pieces of the fence were falling down. She asked where the liability rests. Motion Ms. Heavilin moved to approve the request for relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.L. Ms. Horenburger seconded the motion that unanimously passed. B.

Quantum Park PID) is a nearly built-out Development of Regional Impact (DRI) comprised of 553.13 acres, zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID). It is located on the west side of 1-95, between Miner Road extended and the Boynton (C- 16) Canal (See attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map). The applicant, MFT Development, Inc. is requesting an amendment to the Quantum Park DRI Development Order (D.O.) adopted December 4, 1984 by Ordinance No. 84-51. The original D.O. has been subsequently amended 14 times by Ordinance Nos. 86-11, 86-37, 88-3, 94-10, 94-51, 96-33, 96-65, 97-20, 99-05, 00- 02,01-54, 02-54, 04-77 and 05-13. The City Commission denied Amendment #11 on February 20, 2001. The current Master Plan for Quantum Park is provided in Exhibit "B" - Existing Master Plan. Amendment #16 proposes amending the maximum number of dwelling units allowable on parcels designated for Mixed Use (MU) from 1,105 to 1,905 dwelling units in the Master Plan, as well as amending the existing use designations on several lots in the Master Plan. The requested changes are depicted in Exhibit "C"- Proposed Master Plan and described as follows: 1) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 17 and 52 from Office/Industrial and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R) to Mixed Use (MU); 2) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lot 58 from Office/Industrial (0/1) to Mixed Use (MU); 3) Increasing the maximum number of residential units by 800, from 1,105 to 1,905; 4) Creation of Lots 102 and 103 through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard. Providing a Master Plan designation of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots; 5) Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicating "Total Vested Trips for the Project shall remain 63,752 ADT", and adopting FOOT accepted traffic standards; Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 6) Elimination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicating "Building height shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas", since it is no longer a valid statement and not appropriate for inclusion on the Master Plan. BACKGROUND An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06 (19) - Substantial Deviations. The applicant has submitted a Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) in accordance with the statutory requirements. The NOPC is reviewed by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) and the City. The DCA and the TCRPC are reviewing the proposed NOPC and will provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19). The City's Land Development Regulations Chapter 1.5, Sec. 4.3A requires a preliminary review by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DRI. Chapter 380.06 F.S. requires that the local governing body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC. The City Commission is required to determine whether the proposed change to the Quantum Park DRI is or is not a substantial deviation as defined in Chapter 380.06 (19). If it is determined that the requested change is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant to the statutory requirements. If the City Commission determines that the proposed change is not a substantial deviation then they may take action to approve or deny the requested change. The original DRI Development Order adopted a Master Plan for Quantum Park. That Master Plan has been amended over the years, the most recent change being approved on February 15, 2005. The subject Amendment #16 proposes to amend the maximum number of dwelling units allowable within the areas designated for Mixed Use (MU) in the Master Plan as well as change in use designation on several lots. Therefore the review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the change to the Master Plan for Quantum Parle In addition to State Statutes, staff has reviewed the Master Plan in accordance with Land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned Industrial Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval. First review comments were generated and the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) reviewed the Master Plan change on June 27,2006. ANAL YSIS Notice of Proposed Chanae (NOPC) - Substantial Deviation The criteria for determining if a proposed change to a DRI is a substantial deviation are outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19). In reviewing the statute section staff determined that two (2) of the criteria apply to the proposed change for Quantum Park DRI. This criterion, which is applicable for review of this proposed change is provided in Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5., which states: "The following changes to an approved development of regional impact shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence" . 2 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 1. Chapter 380.06(19)(b)9., An increase in the number of dwelling units by 5 percent or 50 dwelling units, whichever is greater. The proposed change entails the addition of 800 residential dwelling units to the1, 105 currently approved, for a total of 1,905 dwelling units. The proposed modification exceeds the thresholds outlined above. However, the change also eliminates industrial potential on Lots 17 and 52. Although the project exceeds the maximum dwelling units for a non-substantial change determination, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, in their review of the proposed amendment and discussions with the Department of Community Affairs, has determined the proposed change could be reviewed under the guidelines of Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., due to the fact that no new or additional regional impacts appear evident as a result of the proposed change. 2. Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases and decreases of at least two of the uses within an authorized multiuse development of regional impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified in 380.0651 (3)(c), (d), (f) and (g) and residential use. As part of the NOPC application the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation Determination Chart". The applicant has provided an updated chart. Since Amendment #16 involves changes to land use categories, including an increase to the Mixed Use (MU) category by 18.58 acres, while commensurately decreasing the Office/Industrial (01) and Office/lndustrial/lndustrial with Retail sales (01 & Ind/R), the provision appears to be met. Associated with the requested use designation changes, the applicant is also requesting to remove Note #3 on the Master plan stating "Total Vested Trips for the Project shall remain 63,752 ADT'. Essentially, that note indicates that the DRI has a vested traffic generation level of 63,752 average daily trips (ADT). The traffic consultant for the applicant, Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc., has proposed to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FDOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). As such, the traffic consultant estimates a decrease in the number of peak hour trips as a result of this amendment. Conclusion The proposed changes delineated in Amendment #16 are determined not to be a substantial deviation per Chapter 380.06 (19) of the Florida Statutes. The applicant has provided the Substantial Deviation Table and a traffic study, to provide clear and convincing evidence of a non-substantial deviation finding. This determination is subject to satisfying Condition of Approval #1 regarding Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. Master Plan Modification The proposal submitted for the NOPC modifies the approved Master Plan for the Quantum Park DR!. There are six (6) major changes proposed. The applicant provided the following descriptive summary of these changes: 3 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 Lots 17 and 52 (7.8 Acres) These lots are currently designated as "Office/Industrial and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R)" Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to "Mixed Use (MU)". Lot 58 (4.93 Acres) This lot is currently designated as Office/Industrial (01) Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to Mixed Use (MU). Increasino the maximum number of residential units by 800. from 1.105 to 1.905 The maximum number of allowed dwelling units would be increased to 1,905 on lots designated Mixed Use (MU) on the Master Plan. Creation of Lots 102 and 103 and orovidino a Master Plan desionation of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots The creation of Lots 102 and 103 would occur through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard and be designated Mixed Use (MU). Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicatino "Total Vested Trios for the Proiect shall remain 63.752 ADT" The applicant is proposing to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Elirnination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicatino "Buildino heioht shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas" The applicant has suggested removal of this note since it is no longer a correct statement with the increase in height to 75 feet on the Mixed Use (MU) designated lots and because staff indicated that height was not a Master Plan component in their review of NOPC #15 in 2005. The Quantum Park DRI has been amended 14 times over the years, which is not unusual for a DRI of this type. The Florida Statute governing the DRI process, Chapter 380.06(19), provides for and anticipates amendments stating "There are a variety of reasons why a developer may wish to propose changes to an approved development of regional impact, including changed market conditions". During the review of NOPC #10 in the year 2000, staff expressed opposition to the conversion of valuable industrial land to residential uses. The City had considerable acreage for residential purposes, but the amount of vacant industrial land, especially larger tracts that could accommodate business and industry that creates jobs, generates substantial property taxes and requires fewer City services, was in short supply. At that time, the applicant indicated that they understood the concerns of the City and that they would limit the amount of residential use to a maximum of 1,000 dwelling units in an effort to address staffs fears of the loss of industrial land. 4 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 The applicant subsequently submitted NOPC #15 in 2005 for an additional 105 dwelling units. In that particular case, the applicant proposed to commit those 105 dwelling units to parcels already designated as Mixed Use (MU), which did not entail any further conversion of industrial land. Now the applicant has submitted NOPC #16, which proposes to add 800 additional dwelling units, an increase in the maximum allowable from 1,105 to 1,905 units within Quantum Park. Additionally, the request includes the conversion of two (2) more vacant lots with industrial potential (Lots 17 and 52 - a total of 7.8 acres) to Mixed Use (MU) and the conversion of two (2) roadway tracts to the Mixed Use (MU) designation. This would appear to place staff in the same position it argued back in 2000, opposing any further conversion of industrial potential properties to residential purposes. The proposed change to the Master Plan was analyzed from three perspectives. The first is the potential for creating additional regional or local impacts. The second is the consistency and compatibility of the proposed changes with the regulations and policies adopted by the City through the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies such as the Visions 20/20 plan. Finally, the application was reviewed against certain criteria used when analyzing rezoning requests relative to necessity. Impacts Reqional A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are considered regional in nature. Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally identified and mitigated. In the case of the Quantum Park DRI the major issue is whether there will be an increase in traffic resulting from the land use redistribution/re-designation. A provision in Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park development order requires that" A traffic study shall be submitted with any future application requesting a change in use designations on any lot. Staff conducted a cursory review of the traffic study during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process. Additionally, the applicant has transmitted the traffic study to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their customary review and approval. The applicant's traffic consultant, Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. has, as part of this amendment process, proposed to update the DRI to conform with the accepted criteria (utilized by FDOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Based on the TART review of the Master Plan, including the traffic study, no additional regional impacts are evident. The consultant notes that the Master Plan adopted in 1997 established the thresholds of development or the maximum square footage for each land use, which could not be exceeded. As a result of the proposed change, Peak Hour Trips generated by these land uses depicted in the Master Plan become the benchmark for measuring traffic and the associated impacts of any change. Pinder Troutman's traffic analysis indicates that the proposed land uses contemplated in NOPC #16 would be estimated to generate 5,809 AM Peak Hour and 7,202 PM Peak Hour trips, representing a decrease of 1,138 AM Peak Hour and 856 PM Peak Hour trips when compared with the original Application for Development Approval (ADA). 5 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 In a letter dated June 26, 2006, The Florida Department of Transportation stated that they have no objection to NOPC #16, only that they recommend the Traffic Signal Warrant studies for the intersections of Quantum Boulevard with both Gateway Boulevard and Congress Avenue be conducted by the applicant, in compliance with a Development Order condition of approval under Ordinance 01-54 (see Exhibit "0"). The Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division has conducted their initial review and has requested the applicant provide additional information, prior to formal response (see Exhibit "E"). The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) focus their review of the amendment on regional issues exclusively. Staff has not yet received a formal written response from DCA, however TCRPC has responded that they have not identified any new or additional regional impacts resulting from the proposed amendment. Typically, the proposed addition of 800 new dwelling units to the DRI would constitute a Substantial Deviation under Section 380.06(19)(b)9 of the Florida State Statutes, a finding which would cause the development to be subject to further DRI review. Based upon their discussion with DCA, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), having not identified any regional impacts, indicates that the City could conclude the same, under Section 380.06(19)(e)5.c. Florida Statutes, and it could make a finding that would allow the proposed change to proceed without further DRI review. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) also notes that it has been working with the City, County, applicant and the South Florida Regional Transit Authority (SFRTA) on creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOO) opportunity with an appropriate mix of uses at the Tri-Rail station site. They indicate approximately 500 residential units and a mix of nonresidential uses would be required for a successful TOO on the Tri-Rail site. TCRPC encourages the City to receive some assurances from the applicant that they will support and authorize the City and SFRT A to make the necessary changes to the development order in the near future to accommodate the TOO. The applicant has indicated to staff that part of their intent to request an increase in the number of residential units in this NOPC was to lay the groundwork for a future amendment, when they and the SFRT A were in agreement on proceeding on a deal. However, staff is very hesitant to recommend for this change, when the 800 residential units being requested to be added to the DRI, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If for any reason a deal to accommodate the TOO on the Tri-Rail site is unsuccessful, the applicant will be motivated to request further amendments to lots with industrial potential in order to accommodate the then vested residential units. Local The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts. The development order for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested change is within the jurisdiction of the City. As such, the City's main focus is local issues and impacts. During the TART process, there were local issues identified by the members. The Traffic Division of Public Works expressed concern over the potential impacts associated with the contemplated abandonment of Quantum Lakes Drive and the reallocation of traffic to Quantum Boulevard. Additionally, Palm Beach County Traffic Division has requested the applicant provide an AM and PM peak hour analysis for various project access intersections, including Gateway and Quantum Boulevard, to identify problems and introduce mitigation measures. Therefore, staff recommends a traffic study be prepared by the applicant, evaluating those impacts (see Exhibit "F" _ Conditions of 6 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 Approval). Staff also notes that no formal abandonment applications have been submitted concurrent with this NOPC request. The applicant has indicated that abandonment petitions would be submitted in the future, as part of the site plan review process for adjacent lots. With the lack of a traffic study addressing Public Work's concerns over intersection impacts associated with proposed roadway abandonments, staff recommends denial of the request to create new lots 102 and 103 from the abandoned roadway tracts and designate them Mixed Use (MU). The Utilities Department has indicated that any unforeseen impacts to the water and sewer systems and related levels of service will be borne by the developer. Drainage impacts will be reviewed in detail as part of the Technical Site Plan approvals, and must satisfy all requirements of the City and local drainage permitting authorities. Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies Certain aspects of the change proposed by the applicant present issues that appear contrary to City policies. The proposed changes are discussed below: Lots 17 and 52 (7.8 Acres): These lots are currently designated as "Office/lndustrial and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R)" Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to "Mixed Use (MU)". As noted earlier, during the review of NOPC #10, staff was opposed to the conversion of valuable industrial land to residential uses. The City had considerable acreage for residential purposes, but the amount of vacant industrial land that could accommodate business and industry, which create jobs, generates substantial property taxes and requires fewer City services, was in short supply. The applicant indicated that they understood the concerns of the City and that they would limit the amount of residential use in an effort to address staffs fears of the loss of industrial land. The applicant subsequently submitted NOPC #15 in 2005 to add 105 more dwelling units. In that particular case, the applicant proposed to commit those 105 dwelling units to parcels already designated as "Mixed Use (MU)", which did not entail any further conversion of industrial land. Staff did not oppose that amendment, since no lots with industrial potential were requested to be converted to Mixed Use (MU). However, now the applicant has submitted NOPC #16, which proposes to convert 7.8 more acres with industrial potential to Mixed Use (MU). In 2005, the City contracted with a professional planning consultant, Michele Mellgren & Associates, to prepare an analysis of the M-1 (Industrial) Zoning District and make recommendation. The consultant generally recommended that the City preserve its remaining industrial zoning and more specifically recommended that the City: 1. Amend the comprehensive plan to include one or more goals, objectives or policies that would strongly discourage or prohibit the conversion or use of industrial land, to or for non-industrial uses. 2. Amend the regulations of the PID district, as appropriate, to prohibit any additional residential uses. 7 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 The City has since issued an RFP (Request For Proposals) to hire a consultant to implement the recommendations of the study and prepare appropriate code amendments. The results of the RFP's are to be presented to the Commission in August, for selection of the consultant. Policy 1.19.4 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "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 linkages between complementary industries". The continued conversion of industrial potential property within Quantum Park, especially conversion to residential uses, appears to directly contradict City policy, and place greater burden on City services, almost always with loss in City tax revenue. Additionally, IPARC is partnering with the Economic Development Research Institute (EDRI) to request bids from economic development and planning professionals to prepare a study documenting the importance of having land designated for industrial use and strategies to preserve, promote and manage light-industrial development. This initiative is a result of the concerns expressed at various levels of government and business in Palm Beach County regarding the number of amendments to Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Maps that have reclassified industrial lands for residential use. The need for industrial space is not expected to diminish. The City regularly receives inquiries from the Business Development Board, realtors and businesses looking to relocate. One example is the breath freshener business (Health-Tech Inc.), which just leased 30,000 square feet in Quantum Park, and plans to hire 40 to 50 workers. Industrial uses generally provide higher paying jobs than commercial/retail businesses, which not only benefits the City, but residents seeking employment as well. Additionally, staff acknowledged the retail potential of parcels along Gateway Boulevard and supported a previous amendment request by the applicant to allow a retail component to a principal industrial use. Staff reasoned that it needed to make a concerted effort to retain and attract industrial tenants, rather than entertain a potential request to eliminate the industrial land use for commercial or mixed use all the way along Gateway Boulevard. Since the year 2000, approximately 93 acres within Quantum Park and along South Congress Avenue have been converted from industrial land use or zoning districts to residential use or Mixed Use (MU). This has greatly reduced the ability of the City to attract spin-off businesses from Scripps, start-up businesses or companies looking to relocate. If the requested amendment is approved, the number of acres within Quantum Park with a Mixed Use (MU) land designation will be 113.44 acres out of 553.13, or 20% of the property, which exceeds any other land use designation within the park. Lot 58 (4.93 Acres): This lot is currently designated as Office/Industrial (01) Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to Mixed Use (MU). This particular lot is currently developed with an office building, which obviously precludes the industrial potential for the parcel under the present design. However, in times of demand, buildings and sites are redeveloped to reflect the need or trend at that time. The applicant is proposing the Mixed Use (MU) designation for the lot, potentially contemplating a higher and better use than that in place. 8 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 Increasinq the maximum number of residential units by 800. from 1.105 to 1.905: The applicant is proposing to increase the maximum number of allowed dwelling units to 1,905 on lots designated Mixed Use (MU) on the Master Plan. Staff reviewed the request for 800 additional residential units in the context of opposing further conversion of parcels with industrial potential to Mixed Use (MU). In conducting the review, staff researched the total combined units represented by those existing within or approved for the immediately surrounding area. The currently approved, but unconstructed residential units in Quantum Park, existing and approved for the Renaissance Commons SMU, approved for the Boynton Village SMU. and approved at High Ridge Road and Miner Road total 3,106 units. Additionally, recently approved or built commercial/office square footage in Quantum Park and the immediate area (Quantum Park Village North and South projects, Renaissance Commons and Boynton Town Center and Boynton Village) exceeds 900,000 square feet. Such approvals are less than 50% complete and therefore represent lands or space available elsewhere for the proposed uses. With this number of dwelling units coming on line, and the nearly one million square feet of commercial/office uncompleted, there does not appear to be justification for the request to "rezone" land designated for industrial and/or office uses to residential/commercial use. Staff supports the concept of creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOO) opportunity with an appropriate mix of uses at the Tri-Rail station site. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) indicates approximately 500 residential units and a mix of nonresidential uses would be required for a successful TOO on the Tri-Rail site. This concept makes sense for three reasons. First, the Tri-Rail site has a Governmental & Institutional (G&I) land use designation and would not decrease industrial potential. Second, it creates a multi-modal hub and reduces potential reliance upon the automobile. Thirdly, it creates a great opportunity to provide workforce housing. As noted earlier, TCRPC encourages the City to receive some assurances from the applicant that they will support and authorize the City and SFRT A to make the necessary changes to the development order in the near future to accommodate the TOO. The applicant has indicated to staff that part of their intent with requesting the number of residential units in this NOPC was to lay the groundwork for a future amendment, when they and the SFRT A were in agreement on proceeding on a deal. Staff is very hesitant to recommend for the change, when the 800 residential units requested to be added to the DRI, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If for any reason a deal to accommodate a TOO on the Tri-Rail site is unsuccessful, the applicant will be motivated to request further amendments in order to accommodate the then vested residential units. Creation of Lots 102 and 103 and orovidinq a Master Plan desiqnation of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots: The applicant proposes creation of Lots 102 and 103 through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard and designate them Mixed Use (MU). As noted earlier, the Traffic Division of Public Works expressed concern over the potential impacts associated with the contemplated abandonment of Quantum Lakes Boulevard and the reallocation of traffic to Quantum Boulevard. Therefore, they recommend a traffic study be 9 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 prepared on the part of the applicant, evaluating those impacts. Additionally, Palm Beach County Traffic Division has requested the applicant provide an AM and PM peak hour analysis for various project access intersections, including Gateway and Quantum Boulevard, to identify problems and introduce mitigation measures. Since no formal abandonment applications have been submitted concurrent with this NOPC request, and with the lack of a traffic study addressing Public Work's and Palm Beach County concerns over intersection impacts, staff recommends denial of the request to create new lots 102 and 103 from the abandoned roadway tracts and designate them Mixed Use (MU). Staff would recommend re-evaluation of the request in a future NOPC request, once the appropriate traffic studies are concluded, mitigation measures, if any, conducted and formal abandonment applications submitted. Since the applicant indicates they intend to submit a follow-up NOPC request involving the TOO request at the Tri-Rail Station, this should not be an inconvenience on their part. Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicatinq 'Total Vested Trips for the Proiect shall remain 63.752 ADT": The applicant is proposing to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Elimination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicatinq "Buildinq heiqht shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas": The applicant has suggested removal of this note since it is no longer a correct statement with the increase in height to 75 feet on the Mixed Use (MU) designated lots and because staff indicated that height was not a Master Plan component in their review of NOPC #15 in 2005. In each case of the requests to eliminate notes from the Master Plan, staff views these proposals as housekeeping matters and does not object to their elimination. FOOT did not raise any concerns with the conversion of trip calculations to AM and PM Peak Hour and the discussion of building heights is better left to the Code of Ordinances. With that said, staff recommends approval of the request to remove Notes #3 and #4. Conclusion Staff concludes that the request to amend the land use designation on Lots 17, 52 and 58 is not in the City's best interest. Throughout this report, staff has noted the desire to retain the industrial potential on the parcels. The need to be able to attract and retain light industry is important to the community and acknowledged by the consultant hired by the City Commission to study the M-1 zoning district. The consultant recommended a halt to further conversions of industrial land to residential uses. Additionally, when analyzing the request within the scope of Quantum Park as a whole, these individual, disjointed lots are less than five (5) acres each, which would appear inadequate for the development of a first rate, well-integrated mixed use project. The other mixed use projects in Quantum range from 14.2 acres to 26.5 acres. Staff is very hesitant to support an increase in the maximum number of allowable residential units in the DRI, when the 800 residential units requested to be added, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If the requested amendment included the Tri-Rail parcel, in preparation for a Transit Oriented Development (TOO), including an increase in the corresponding dwelling units, staff would have supported that component of the request. Without this component, the request for a 72% increase in the number of residential units does not appear to be justified. As such, staff recommends denial of the request for 800 additional residential units. Relative to the proposed request to establish two (2) new narrow parcels (Lots 102 and 103), from existing rights-of-way that the applicant intends to abandon, staff has expressed concerns 10 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 related to the potential effects on traffic patterns. City Engineering staff, along with Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering and FOOT, recommends that the applicant, to ensure acceptable levels of service and safe operating conditions, conduct a traffic analysis, including necessary mitigation measures. Without the traffic study, staff cannot support this request. The two (2) requests to eliminate notes from the Master Plan (Note #3 and #4) are viewed by staff as a housekeeping matter, and as such, staff recommends their approval. In conclusion, staff recommends the applicant withdraw this application and bring forward a new NOPC (Notice of Proposed Change) to the DRI, under the following conditions: 1. The Tri-Rail site is made part of the application, incorporating a Mixed Use designation, with only the additional units conceptualized for the TOO included. 2. A traffic study as requested by the City, County and State is submitted, including intersection analyses and mitigation measures. 3. The submittal of a formal abandonment application should precede any request to create lots within existing right-of-way and provide a use designation. 4. The request to convert Lots 17, 52 and 58 to Mixed Use (MU) be dropped from the application, including the additional units not conceptualized for the TOO. RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 380.06(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change is not a substantial deviation requiring additional development of regional impact review. With regards to the proposed modifications to the Quantum Park Master Plan staff recommends denial of the requested amendments due to the conflicts noted with the City's Comprehensive Plan, its inconsistency with the City's current direction to preserve and expand land availability for light industrial uses, as well as deficient traffic analyses, as noted by City staff, the County and State.

The Quantum Park DRI is located north ofthe C-16 Canal, south ofHypoluxo Road, west of Interstate 95, and east of Congress Avenue in the City of Boynton Beach. The DR! was originally approved on December 18, 1984 as a mixed-use development. The current buildout date for the DRI is December 18, 2014. The following table summarizes the DRI's approved land uses and intensities to date: Approved Development Land Use Original DO As of 15th (1984) Amended DO (2/15/2005) Industrial 4,183,750 sf 1,700,000 sf Retail 300,000 sf 469,450 sf Office 1,969,500 sf 797,900 sf Hotel 200 rooms 200 rooms Multi Family Residential NA 1,105 du Warehouse NA 22,700 sf High School NA 2,500 students Auto Dealership NA 53,072 sf Movie Theater NA 4,000 seats Restaurant- High Turover NA 28,400 sf Restaurant - Quality NA 69,250 sf Convenience Store/Gas NA 3,054 sf Ice Skating Rink NA 93,430 sf www.dot.state.f1.us * RECYO..ED PAPER Mr. Michael 1. Busha June 26, 2006 Page 2 In this NOPC, the applicant proposes the following changes: 1. Increase the maximum number of residential units within the Mixed Use area from the currently approved 1,105 units to 1,905 units, an increase of 800 dwelling units. 2. Re-designate lots 17,52,58, and 103 from their currently approved land uses to Mixed Use. Lots 17 and 52 are currently approved for Office/Industrial w/Retail Sales. Lot 58 is currently designated as Office/Industrial. No description was provided for Lot 103. 3. Revise Notes on the Master Site Development Plan by removing Notes 3 and 4, as shown in the previous Development Order (DO) Number 15. Note 3 addressed the Total Vested Trips for the DR!. Note 4 stated that the building height for Mixed Use areas was not to exceed 60 feet. Note 3 was reported to have incorrectly stated the Total Vested trips as 63,752 ADT. The trip threshold calculated in support of Amendment No. 15, on December 1,2005, was stated to be 65,069 ADT. 4. Abandon the remaining portions of Quantum Lakes Drive and Quantum Boulevard roadways located south of Gateway Boulevard, and convert them to Lots 'i 02 and 103. Change the land use designation of Lots 102 and 103 to Mixed Use. The applicant has included a trip generation comparison analysis between the original (ADA) and proposed land uses for the Quantum Park DR!. The results of a trip generation comparison indicated that the proposed development plan would generate 1,138 fewer AM peale-hour trips and 856 fewer PM peak-hour trips than the original development plan. In conclusion, we have no objection to this NOPC. However, a review of the 2005/2006 Annual Report reveals that the applicant has not subInitted traffic signal warrant studies for the intersections of Quantum Boulevard with Gateway Boulevard and Congress A venue, as required by Ordinance No. 01-54. We recommend that the applicant comply with this Development Order condition. Please feel free to contact this office at (954) 777-4601 should you have any questions. Sincerely, GS:mm/cw cc: D.

Quantum Park PID) is a nearly built-out Deveiopment of Regional Impact (DRI) comprised of 553.13 acres, zoned Pianned Industrial Development (PID). It Is located on the west side of 1-95, between Miner Road extended and the Boynton (G- 16) Canal (See attached Exhibit "A" - Location Map). The applicant, MFT Development, Inc. Is requesting an amendment to the Quantum Park DRI Development Order (D.O.) adopted December 4,1984 by Ordinance No. 84-51. The original D.O. has been subsequenlly amended 14 times by Ordinance Nos. 86-11, 86-37, 88-3, 94-10, 94-51, 96-33, 96-65, 97-20, g9-05, 00- 02,01-54,02-54,04-77 and 05-13. The City Commission denied Amendment #11 on February 20, 2001. The current Master Plan for Quantum Park is provided in Exhibit "B" - Existing Master Plan. NATURE OF REQUEST Amendment #16 proposes amending the maximum number of dwelling units allowable on parcels designated for Mixed Use (MU) from 1,105 to 1,905 dwelling units in the Master Plan, as well as amending the existing use designations on several lots in the Master Plan. The requested changes are depicted in Exhibit "C. - proposed Master Plan and described as follows: 1) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lots 17 and 52 from Officellndustrial and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R) to Mixed Use (MU); 2) Change in the Master Plan designation of Lot 58 from Officellndustrial (011) to Mixed Use (MU); 3) Increasing the maximum number of residential units by 800, from 1,105 to 1 ,905: 4) Creation of Lots 102 and 103 through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard. providing a Master Plan designation of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots; 5) Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicating "Total Vested Trips for the project shall remain 63,752 ADT", and adopting FDOT accepted traffic standards; Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 6) Elimination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicating "Building height shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas", since it is no longer a valid statement and not appropriate for inclusion on the Master Plan. BACKGROUND An amendment to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is first and foremost governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06 (19) - Substantial Deviations. The applicant has submitted a Notice of Proposed Change (NO PC) in accordance with the statutory requirements. The NOPC is reviewed by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) and the City. The DCA and the TCRPC are reviewing the proposed NOPC and will provide comments following the procedures outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19). The City's land Development Regulations Chapter 1.5, Sec. 4.3A requires a preliminary review by the Planning and Development Board of an amendment to a DRI. Chapter 380.06 F.S. requires that the local governing body hold a public hearing to review and approve the NOPC. The City Commission is required to determine whether the proposed change to the Quantum Park DRI is or is not a substantial deviation as defined in Chapter 380.06 (19). If it is determined that the requested change is a substantial deviation then further review will be required pursuant to the statutory requirements. If the City Commission determines that the proposed change is not a substantial deviation then they may take action to approve or deny the requested change. The original DRI Development Order adopted a Master Plan for Quantum Park. That Master Plan has been amended over the years, the most recent change being approved on February 15, 2005. The subject Amendment #16 proposes to amend the maximum number of dwelling units allowable within the areas designated for Mixed Use (MU) in the Master Plan as well as change in use designation on several lots. Therefore the review of the DRI amendment also constitutes a review of the change to the Master Plan for Quantum Parle In addition to State Statutes, staff has reviewed the Master Plan in accordance with land Development Regulations Chapter 2, Section 7, Planned Industrial Development and Chapter 3, Master Plan Approval. First review comments were generated and the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) reviewed the Master Plan change,on June 27, 2006. ANAL YSIS Notice of Proposed ChanQe (NOPC) - Substantial Deviation The criteria for determining if a proposed change to a DRI is a substantial deviation are outlined in Chapter 380.06 (19). In reviewing the statute section staff determined that two (2) of the criteria apply to the proposed change for Quantum Park DR!. This criterion, which is applicable for review of this proposed change is provided in Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5., which states: 'The following changes to an approved development of regional impact shall be presumed to create a substantial deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence" . 2 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 1. Chapter 380.06(19)(b)9., An increase in the number of dwelling units by 5 percent or 50 dwelling units, whichever is greater. The proposed change entails the addition of 800 residential dwelling units to the1, 105 currently approved, for a total of 1,905 dwelling units. The proposed modification exceeds the thresholds outlined above. However, the change also eliminates industrial potential on Lots 17 and 52. Although the project exceeds the maximum dwelling units for a non-substantial change determination, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, in their review of the proposed amendment and discussions with the Department of Community Affairs, has determined the proposed change could be reviewed under the guidelines of Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., due to the fact that no new or additional regional impacts appear evident as a result of the proposed change. 2. Chapter 380.06(19)(e)5.c., Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases and decreases of at least two of the uses within an authorized multiuse development of regional impact which was originally approved with more than three uses specified in 380.0651(3)(c), (d), (f) and (g) and residential use. As part of the NOPC application the applicant is to complete a "Substantial Deviation Determination Chart". The applicant has provided an updated chart. Since Amendment #16 involves changes to land use categories, including an increase to the Mixed Use (MU) category by 18.58 acres, while commensurately decreasing the Office/lndustrial (01) and Office/lndustrial/lndustrial with Retail sales (01 & Ind/R), the provision appears to be met. Associated with the requested use designation changes, the applicant is also requesting to remove Note #3 on the Master plan stating "Total Vested Trips for the Project shall remain 63,752 ADT'. Essentially, that note indicates that the DRI has a vested traffic generation level of 63,752 average daily trips (ADT). The traffic consultant for the applicant, Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc., has proposed to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). As such, the traffic consultant estimates a decrease in the number of peak hour trips as a result of this amendment. Conclusion The proposed changes delineated in Amendment #16 are determined not to be a substantial deviation per Chapter 380.06 (19) of the Florida Statutes. The applicant has provided the Substantial Deviation Table and a traffic study, to provide clear and convincing evidence of a non-substantial deviation finding. This determination is subject to satisfying Condition of Approval #1 regarding Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. Master Plan Modification The proposal submitted for the NOPC modifies the approved Master Plan for the Quantum Park DR!. There are six (6) major changes proposed. The applicant provided the following descriptive summary of these changes: 3 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 M.emorandum No. PZ 06-143 Lots 17 and 52 (7.8 Acres) These lots are currently designated as "Officellndustriat and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R)" Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to "Mixed Use (MU)". Lot 58 (4.93 Acres) This lot is currently designated as Officellndustrial (01) Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to Mixed Use (MU). IncreasinQ the maximum number of residential units bv 800. from 1.105 to 1.905 The maximum number of allowed dwelling units would be increased to 1,905 on lots designated Mixed Use (MU) on the Master Plan. Creation of Lots 102 and 103 and providino a Master Plan desiQnat/on of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots The creation of Lots 102 and 103 would occur through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard and be designated Mixed Use (MU). Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicatinQ "Total Vested Trips for the Proiect shall remain 63.752 ADT' The applicant is proposing to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Elimination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicatinQ "BuildinQ heiQht shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas" The applicant has suggested removal of this note since it is no longer a correct statement with the increase in height to 75 feet on the Mixed Use (MU) designated lots and because staff indicated that height was not a Master Plan component in their review of NOPC #15 in 2005. The Quantum Park DRI has been amended 14 times over the years, which is not unusual for a DRI of this type. The Florida Statute governing the DRI process, Chapter 380.06(19), provides for and anticipates amendments stating "There are a variety of reasons why a developer may wish to propose changes to an approved development of regional impact, including changed market conditions". During the review of NOPC #10 in the year 2000, staff expressed opposition to the conversion of valuable industrial land to residential uses. The City had considerable acreage for residential purposes, but the amount of vacant industrial land, especially larger tracts that could accommodate business and industry that creates jobs, generates substantial property taxes and requires fewer City services, was in short supply. At that time, the applicant indicated that they understood the concerns of the City and that they would limit the amount of residential use to a maximum of 1,000 dwelling units in an effort to address staff's fears of the loss of industrial land. 4 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 The applicant subsequently submitted NOPC #15 in 2005 for an additional 105 dwelling units. In that particular case, the applicant proposed to commit those 105 dwelling units to parcels already designated as Mixed Use (MU), which did not entail any further conversion of industrial land. Now the applicant has submitted NOPC #16, which proposes to add 800 additional dwelling units, an increase in the maximum allowable from 1,105 to 1,905 units within Quantum Park. Additionally, the request includes the conversion of two (2) more vacant lots with industrial potential (Lots 17 and 52 - a total of 7.8 acres) to Mixed Use (MU) and the conversion of two (2) roadway tracts to the Mixed Use (MU) designation. This would appear to place staff in the same position it argued back in 2000, opposing any further conversion of industrial potential properties to residential purposes. The proposed change to the Master Plan was analyzed from three perspectives. The first is the potential for creating additional regional or local impacts. The second is the consistency and compatibility of the proposed changes with the regulations and policies adopted by the City through the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and other applicable studies such as the Visions 20/20 plan. Finally, the application was reviewed against certain criteria used when analyzing rezoning requests relative to necessity. Impacts Reqional A development has gone through the DRI process because the projected impacts are considered regional in nature. Any change to that development must be analyzed to determine if the changes proposed create additional impacts above and beyond what was originally identified and mitigated. In the case of the Quantum Park DRI the major issue is whether there will be an increase in traffic resulting from the land use redistribution/re-designation. A provision in Amendment #8 to the Quantum Park development order requires that" A traffic study shall be submitted with any future application requesting a change in use designations on any lot. Staff conducted a cursory review of the traffic study during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process. Additionally, the applicant has transmitted the traffic study to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their customary review and approval. The applicant's traffic consultant, Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. has, as part of this amendment process, proposed to update the DRI to conform with the accepted criteria (utilized by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Based on the TART review of the Master Plan, including the traffic study, no additional regional impacts are evident. The consultant notes that the Master Plan adopted in 1997 established the thresholds of development or the maximum square footage for each land use, which could not be exceeded. As a result of the proposed change, Peak Hour Trips generated by these land uses depicted in the Master Plan become the benchmark for measuring traffic and the associated impacts of any change. Pinder Troutman's traffic analysis indicates that the proposed land uses contemplated in NOPC #16 would be estimated to generate 5,809 AM Peak Hour and 7,202 PM Peak Hour trips, representing a decrease of 1,138 AM Peak Hour and 856 PM Peak Hour trips when compared with the original Application for Development Approval (ADA). 5 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001 IMPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 In a letter dated June 26, 2006, The Florida Department of Transportation stated that they have no objection to NOPC #16, only that they recommend the Traffic Signal Warrant studies for the intersections of Quantum Boulevard with both Gateway Boulevard and Congress Avenue be conducted by the applicant, in compliance with a Development Order condition of approval under Ordinance 01-54 (see Exhibit "0"). The Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division has conducted their initial review and has requested the applicant provide additional information, prior to formal response (see Exhibit "E"). The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) focus their review of the amendment on regional issues exclusively. Staff has not yet received a formal written response from DCA, however TCRPC has responded that they have not identified any new or additional regional impacts resulting from the proposed amendment. Typically, the proposed addition of 800 new dwelling units to the DRI would constitute a Substantial Deviation under Section 380.06(19){b)9 of the Florida State Statutes, a finding which would cause the development to be subject to further DRI review. Based upon their discussion with DCA, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), having not identified any regional impacts, indicates that the City could conclude the same, under Section 380.06(19)(e)5.c. Florida Statutes, and it could make a finding that would allow the proposed change to proceed without further DRI review. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) also notes that it has been working with the City, County, applicant and the South Florida Regional Transit Authority (SFRTA) on creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOO) opportunity with an appropriate mix of uses at the Tri-Rail station site. They indicate approximately 500 residential units and a mix of nonresidential uses would be required for a successful TOO on the Tri-Rail site. TCRPC encourages the City to receive some assurances from the applicant that they will support and authorize the City and SFRT A to make the necessary changes to the development order in the near future to accommodate the TOO. The applicant has indicated to staff that part of their intent to request an increase in the number of residential units in this NOPC was to lay the groundwork for a future amendment, when they and the SFRT A were in agreement on proceeding on a deal. However, staff is very hesitant to recommend for this change, when the 800 residential units being requested to be added to the DRI, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If for any reason a deal to accommodate the TOO on the Tri-Rail site is unsuccessful, the applicant will be motivated to request further amendments to lots with industrial potential in order to accommodate the then vested residential units. Local The focus of the substantial deviation determination is regional impacts. The development order for the DRI is a local order and the approval of any requested change is within the juriSdiction of the City. As such, the City's main focus is local issues and impacts. During the TART process, there were local issues identified by the members. The Traffic Division of Public Works expressed concern over the potential impacts associated with the contemplated abandonment of Quantum Lakes Drive and the reallocation of traffic to Quantum Boulevard. Additionally, Palm Beach County Traffic Division has requested the applicant provide an AM and PM peak hour analysis for various project access intersections, including Gateway and Quantum Boulevard, to identify problems and introduce mitigation measures. Therefore, staff recommends a traffic study be prepared by the applicant, evaluating those impacts (see Exhibit "F" - Conditions of 6 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 Approval). Staff also notes that no formal abandonment applications have been submitted concurrent with this NOPC request. The applicant has indicated that abandonment petitions would be submitted in the future, as part of the site plan review process for adjacent lots. With the lack of a traffic study addressing Public Work's concerns over intersection impacts associated with proposed roadway abandonments, staff recommends denial of the request to create new lots 102 and 103 from the abandoned roadway tracts and designate them Mixed Use (MU). The Utilities Department has indicated that any unforeseen impacts to the water and sewer systems and related levels of service will be borne by the developer. Drainage impacts will be reviewed in detail as part of the Technical Site Plan approvals, and must satisfy all requirements of the City and local drainage permitting authorities. Consistency and Compatibility with City Policies Certain aspects of the change proposed by the applicant present issues that appear contrary to City policies. The proposed changes are discussed below: Lots 17 and 52 (7.8 Acres): These lots are currently designated as "Officellndustrial and Industrial with Retail Sales (01 & IND/R)" Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to "Mixed Use (MU)". As noted earlier, during the review of NOPC #10, staff was opposed to the conversion of valuable industrial land to residential uses. The City had considerable acreage for residential purposes, but the amount of vacant industrial land that could accommodate business and industry, which create jobs, generates substantial property taxes and requires fewer City services, was in short supply. The applicant indicated that they understood the concerns of the City and that they would limit the amount of residential use in an effort to address staff's fears of the loss of industrial land. The applicant subsequently submitted NOPC #15 in 2005 to add 105 more dwelling units. In that particular case, the applicant proposed to commit those 105 dwelling units to parcels already designated as "Mixed Use (MU)", which did not entail any further conversion of industrial land. Staff did not oppose that amendment, since no lots with industrial potential were requested to be converted to Mixed Use (MU). However, now the applicant has submitted NOPC #16, which proposes to convert 7.8 more acres with industrial potential to Mixed Use (MU). In 2005, the City contracted with a professional planning consultant, Michele Mellgren & Associates, to prepare an analysis of the M-1 (Industrial) Zoning District and make recommendation. The consultant generally recommended that the City preserve its remaining industrial zoning and more specifically recommended that the City: 1. Amend the comprehensive plan to include one or more goals, objectives or policies that would strongly discourage or prohibit the conversion or use of industrial land, to or for non-industrial uses. 2. Amend the regulations of the PID district, as appropriate, to prohibit any additional residential uses. 7 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 The City has since issued an RFP (Request For Proposals) to hire a consultant to implement the recommendations of the study and prepare appropriate code amendments. The results of the RFP's are to be presented to the Commission in August, for selection of the consultant. Policy 1.19.4 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "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 linkages between complementary industries". The continued conversion of industrial potential property within Quantum Park, especially conversion to residential uses, appears to directly contradict City policy, and place greater burden on City services, almost always with loss in City tax revenue. Additionally, IPARC is partnering with the Economic Development Research Institute (EDR/) to request bids from economic development and planning professionals to prepare a study documenting the importance of having land designated for industrial use and strategies to preserve, promote and manage light-industrial development. This initiative is a result of the concerns expressed at various levels of government and business in Palm Beach County regarding the number of amendments to Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Maps that have reclassified industrial lands for residential use. The need for industrial space is not expected to diminish. The City regularly receives inquiries from the Business Development Board, realtors and businesses looking to relocate. One example is the breath freshener business (Health-Tech Inc.), which just leased 30,000 square feet in Quantum Park, and plans to hire 40 to 50 workers. Industrial uses generally provide higher paying jobs than commercial/retail businesses, which not only benefits the City, but residents seeking employment as well. Additionally, staff acknowledged the retail potential of parcels along Gateway Boulevard and supported a previous amendment request by the applicant to allow a retail component to a principal industrial use. Staff reasoned that it needed to make a concerted effort to retain and attract industrial tenants, rather than entertain a potential request to eliminate the industrial land use for commercial or mixed use all the way along Gateway Boulevard. Since the year 2000, approximately 93 acres within Quantum Park and along South Congress Avenue have been converted from industrial land use or zoning districts to residential use or Mixed Use (MU). This has greatly reduced the ability of the City to attract spin-off businesses from Scripps, start-up businesses or companies looking to relocate. If the requested amendment is approved, the number of acres within Quantum Park with a Mixed Use (MU) land designation will be 113.44 acres out of 553.13, or 20% of the property, which exceeds any other land use designation within the park. Lot 58 (4.93 Acres): This lot is currently designated as Office/Industrial (Ol) Land Use. The Land Use would be revised to Mixed Use (MU). This particular lot is currently developed with an office building, which obviously precludes the industrial potential for the parcel under the present design. However, in times of demand, buildings and sites are redeveloped to reflect the need or trend at that time. The applicant is proposing the Mixed Use (MU) designation for the lot, potentially contemplating a higher and better use than that in place. 8 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 Increasinq the maximum number of residential units bv 800, from 1,105 to 1,905: The applicant is proposing to increase the maximum number of allowed dwelling units to 1,905 on lots designated Mixed Use (MU) on the Master Plan. Staff reviewed the request for 800 additional residential units in the context of opposing further conversion of parcels with industrial potential to Mixed Use (MU). In conducting the review, staff researched the total combined units represented by those existing within or approved for the immediately surrounding area. The currently approved, but unconstructed residential units in Quantum Park, existing and approved for the Renaissance Commons SMU, approved for the Boynton Village SMU, and approved at High Ridge Road and Miner Road total 3,106 units. Additionally, recently approved or built commercial/office square footage in Quantum Park and the immediate area (Quantum Park Village North and South projects, Renaissance Commons and Boynton Town Center and Boynton Village) exceeds 900,000 square feet. Such approvals are less than 50% complete and therefore represent lands or space available elsewhere for the proposed uses. With this number of dwelling units coming on line, and the nearly one million square feet of commercial/office uncompleted, there does not appear to be justification for the request to "rezone" land designated for industrial and/or office uses to residential/commercial use. Staff supports the concept of creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOO) opportunity with an appropriate mix of uses at the Tri-Rail station site. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) indicates approximately 500 residential units and a mix of nonresidential uses would be required for a successful TOO on the Tri-Rail site. This concept makes sense for three reasons. First, the Tri-Rail site has a Governmental & Institutional (G&I) land use designation and would not decrease industrial potential. Second, it creates a multi-modal hub and reduces potential reliance upon the automobile. Thirdly, it creates a great opportunity to provide workforce housing. As noted earlier, TCRPC encourages the City to receive some assurances from the applicant that they will support and authorize the City and SFRT A to make the necessary changes to the development order in the near future to accommodate the TOO. The applicant has indicated to staff that part of their intent with requesting the number of residential units in this NOPC was to lay the groundwork for a future amendment, when they and the SFRT A were in agreement on proceeding on a deal. Staff is very hesitant to recommend for the change, when the 800 residential units requested to be added to the DRI, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If for any reason a deal to accommodate a TOO on the Tri-Rail site is unsuccessful, the applicant will be motivated to request further amendments in order to accommodate the then vested residential units. Creation of Lots 102 and 103 and providinq a Master Plan desiqnation of Mixed Use (MU) for both lots: The applicant proposes creation of Lots 102 and 103 through the abandonment of the remaining portion of Quantum Lakes Drive and that portion of Quantum Boulevard south of Gateway Boulevard and designate them Mixed Use (MU). As noted earlier, the Traffic Division of Public Works expressed concern over the potential impacts associated with the contemplated abandonment of Quantum Lakes Boulevard and the reallocation of traffic to Quantum Boulevard. Therefore, they recommend a traffic study be 9 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 prepared on the part of the applicant, evaluating those impacts. Additionally, Palm Beach County Traffic Division has requested the applicant provide an AM and PM peak hour analysis for various project access intersections, including Gateway and Quantum Boulevard, to identify problems and introduce mitigation measures. Since no formal abandonment applications have been submitted concurrent with this NOPC request, and with the lack of a traffic study addressing Public Work's and Palm Beach County concerns over intersection impacts, staff recommends denial of the request to create new lots 102 and 103 from the abandoned roadway tracts and designate them Mixed Use (MU). Staff would recommend re-evaluation of the request in a future NOPC request, once the appropriate traffic studies are concluded, mitigation measures, if any, conducted and formal abandonment applications submitted. Since the applicant indicates they intend to submit a follow-up NOPC request involving the TOO request at the Tri-Rail Station, this should not be an inconvenience on their part. Elimination of Note #3 on the Master Plan indicatinq "Total Vested Trips for the Project shall remain 63,752 ADT": The applicant is proposing to update the DRI to today's accepted criteria (by FOOT and the County alike) for determining traffic impact, through the use of Peak Hour (AM and PM) trip calculations instead of Average Daily Trips (ADT). Elimination of Note #4 on the Master Plan indicatinq "Buildinq heiqht shall not exceed 60 feet in Mixed Use areas": The applicant has suggested removal of this note since it is no longer a correct statement with the increase in height to 75 feet on the Mixed Use (MU) designated lots and because staff indicated that height was not a Master Plan component in their review of NOPC #15 in 2005. In each case of the requests to eliminate notes from the Master Plan, staff views these proposals as housekeeping matters and does not object to their elimination. FOOT did not raise any concerns with the conversion of trip calculations to AM and PM Peak Hour and the discussion of building heights is better left to the Code of Ordinances. With that said, staff recommends approval of the request to remove Notes #3 and #4. Conclusion Staff concludes that the request to amend the land use designation on Lots 17, 52 and 58 is not in the City's best interest. Throughout this report, staff has noted the desire to retain the industrial potential on the parcels. The need to be able to attract and retain light industry is important to the community and acknowledged by the consultant hired by the City Commission to study the M-1 zoning district. The consultant recommended a halt to further conversions of industrial land to residential uses. Additionally, when analyzing the request within the scope of Quantum Park as a whole, these individual, disjointed lots are less than five (5) acres each, which would appear inadequate for the development of a first rate, well-integrated mixed use project. The other mixed use projects in Quantum range from 14.2 acres to 26.5 acres. Staff is very hesitant to support an increase in the maximum number of allowable residential units in the DRI, when the 800 residential units requested to be added, cannot currently be accommodated on the lots with Mixed Use (MU) designation. If the requested amendment included the Tri-Rail parcel, in preparation for a Transit Oriented Development (TOO), including an increase in the corresponding dwelling units, staff would have supported that component of the request. Without this component, the request for a 72% increase in the number of residential units does not appear to be justified. As such, staff recommends denial of the request for 800 additional residential units. Relative to the proposed request to establish two (2) new narrow parcels (Lots 102 and 103), from existing rights-of-way that the applicant intends to abandon, staff has expressed concerns 10 Quantum Park - DRIA 06-001/MPMD 06-003 Memorandum No. PZ 06-143 related to the potential effects on traffic patterns. City Engineering staff, along with Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering and FOOT, recommends that the applicant, to ensure acceptable levels of service and safe operating conditions, conduct a traffic analysis, including necessary mitigation measures. Without the traffic study, staff cannot support this request. The two (2) requests to eliminate notes from the Master Plan (Note #3 and #4) are viewed by staff as a housekeeping matter, and as such, staff recommends their approval. In conclusion, staff recommends the applicant withdraw this application and bring forward a new NOPC (Notice of Proposed Change) to the DRI, under the following conditions: 1. The Tri-Rail site is made part of the application, incorporating a Mixed Use designation, with only the additional units conceptualized for the TOO included. 2. A traffic study as requested by the City, County and State is submitted, including intersection analyses and mitigation measures. 3. The submittal of a formal abandonment application should precede any request to create lots within existing right-of-way and provide a use designation. 4. The request to convert Lots 17, 52 and 58 to Mixed Use (MU) be dropped from the application, including the additional units not conceptualized for the TOO. RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 380.06(19) Substantial Deviations, the applicant has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed change is not a substantial deviation requiring additional development of regional impact review. With regards to the proposed modifications to the Quantum Park Master Plan staff recommends denial of the requested amendments due to the conflicts noted with the City's Comprehensive Plan, its inconsistency with the City's current direction to preserve and expand land availability for light industrial uses, as well as deficient traffic analyses, as noted by City staff, the County and State.

City of Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County Notification of Proposed Change (NOPC) No. 16 As requested in your letter dated May 25,2006, the Department has reviewed the Quantum Park DR! NOPC No. 16. The Quantum Park DRI is located north ofthe C-16 Canal, south ofHypoluxo Road, west of Interstate 95, and east of Congress Avenue in the City of Boynton Beach. The DR! was originally approved on December 18, 1984 as a mixed-use development. The current buildout date for the DR! is December 18, 2014_ The following table summarizes the DRI's approved land uses and intensities to date: Approved Development Land Use Original DO As of 15th (1984) Amended DO (2/15/2005) Industrial 4,183,750 sf 1,700,000 sf Retail 300,000 sf 469,450 sf Office 1,969,500 sf 797,900 sf Hotel 200 rooms 200 rooms Multi Family Residential NA 1,105 du Warehouse NA 22,700 sf High School NA 2,500 students Auto Dealership NA 53,072 sf Movie Theater NA 4,000 seats Restaurant- High Turover NA 28,400 sf Restaurant - Quality NA 69,250 sf Convenience Store/Gas NA 3,054 sf Ice Skating Rink NA 93,430 sf ..- Mr. Michael J. Busha June 26, 2006 Page 2 In this NOPC, the applicant proposes the following changes: I. Increase the maximum number of residential units within the Mixed Use area from the currently approved I, I 05 units to 1,905 units, an increase of 800 dwelling units. 2. Re-designate lots 17,52,58, and 103 from their currently approved land uses to Mixed Use. Lots 17 and 52 are currently approved for Office/Industrial w/Retail Sales. Lot 58 is currently designated as Office/Industrial. No description was provided for Lot 103. 3. Revise Notes on the Master Site Development Plan by removing Notes 3 and 4, as shown in the previous Development Order (DO) Number 15. Note 3 addressed the Total Vested Trips for the DRI. Note 4 stated that the building height for Mixed Use areas was not to exceed 60 feet. Note 3 was reported to have incorrectly stated the Total Vested trips as 63,752 ADT. The trip threshold calculated in support of Amendment No. 15, on December 1,2005, was stated to be 65,069 ADT. 4. Abandon the remaining portions of Quantum Lakes Drive and Quantum Boulevard roadways located south of Gateway Boulevard, and convert them to Lots i 02 and 103. Change the land use designation of Lots 102 and 103 to Mixed Use. The applicant has included a trip generation comparison analysis between the original (ADA) and proposed land uses for the Quantum Park DRI. The results of a trip generation comparison indicated that the proposed development plan would generate 1,138 fewer AM peak-hour trips and 856 fewer PM peak-hour trips than the original development plan. In conclusion, we have no objection to this NOpe. However, a review of the 2005/2006 Annual Report reveals that the applicant has not submitted traffic signal warrant studies for the intersections of Quantum Boulevard with Gateway Boulevard and Congress A venue, as required by Ordinance No. 0 I-54. We recommend that the applicant comply with this Development Order condition. Please feel free to contact this office at (954) 777-4601 should you have any questions. Sincerely, GS:mmlcw cc: D.

EXPLANATION: A property owner who seeks a site plan extension is currently subject to the provisions of the Art in Public Places Program which imposes a Public Art Fee on the developer. It has been brought to the attention of the City that imposition of the fee on projects which were first approved prior to the establishment of the fee places an unexpected burden on those projects. The proposed ordinance remedies that issue by expanding the list of exemption to projects that first received Commission approval prior to the adoption of the Public Arts Fee ordinance. The Arts Fee ordinance went into effect on 10/5/05. There are two collateral issues that will be returned to the Commission for consideration in the near future: 1. Should the Public Art fee be reduced from I % to some lesser amount? 2. Should the Public Art Fee be capped? Staff is in the process of gathering additional information on these two additional issue. If directed by the Commission, an additional ordinance will be prepared. PROGRAM IMPACT: Loss of revenue to the Public Art Fund. FISCAL IMPACT: The immediate lost fee will be $117,445. It is unknown if other site plan extensions will be sought which would give rise to additional lost fees.

I told the Commissioner that I did not support the request and that the Commission would have to amend the code to do what he was proposing. I need to confirm that Boynton Beach Lofts was on the "grandfathered" list of developments. If you can, give me a ball park figure on the 1% fee on this development, that would help frame the issue.
