EXillBIT A
to
City of Boynton Beach Planning & Zoning Division's Code Variance Application
EXHIBIT "e"
Statement of Special Conditions. Hardships or Reasons Justifying the Requested Variance:
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.
Response:
We have attempted to accommodate to the extent possible the design requirements of the
Urban Commercial District Overlay Zone to have buildings as close as possible to Federal
Highway. The shape of this parcel of land, however, does not allow for an efficient commercial
building because to keep the building along the street would require the building to have angled
walls. This configuration would cause the interior layout of the store and operation of the store
to become unacceptable, for efficient operation.
It is our understanding that this design preference was intended for a mixed use
development, including residential, on an individual site. This particular parcel will have an
exclusive commercial use. Placing the building closer to Federal Highway creates a problem for
access to the truck dock which is an integral part of the successful operation of a retail store.
Trucks entering the site at the northeri1 entrance would not have enough space to maneuver and
to use the truck dock efficiently. Putting the building on or near the Federal Highway property
line would mean that the truck dock, the compactor, and the recycling storage areas would be in
close proximity to customer parking which could create an unsafe condition for customers as
well as truck deliveries. The reason for this is that if the store were placed closer to Federal
Highway, a larger amount of the customer parking would have to be in the rear and side of the
store.
Another reason is that on the Federal Highway side of the parcel, existing water and
sewer mains run the entire length of the parcel. To accommodate the overlay design, these water
and sewer mains would have to be relocated or removed. This would vastly increase the cost for
off-site improvements and would cause substantial disruption of service to other area..c:; of the City
because the water and sewer lines serve other areas.
B. That the sTJecial conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
Applicant.
Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions by WaImart.
The shape of the parcel and the conditions and circumstances set forth in response to Subsection
A. are not the result of actions by Waimart.
RM:7! 07800:!
C. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
lJrivilege that is denied bv this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or structures in the same
zoning district:
Response: The granting of this variance request will not confer on Walmart any special
pnvllege. It IS the result of the special conditions and Circumstances set torth to the responses
above.
D. That literal intervretation of the provisions of this Chapter would deprive the aJJJJlicant of
rights commonly en;oved by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance and would work unnecessarily an undue hardship on the Avplicant;
Response: The enforcement of the overlay design requirements to place the proposed
Walmart store closer to Federal Highway will result in tbe inability of Walmart to construct a
commercial building on the property. This building will serve the community as well as any new
residential development in the area. In other areas with the same zoning commercial zoning, a
property owner may place a building anywhere on the site so long as the site plan meets the
setback and open space requirements of the City Code.
E. That the variance f!ranted is the minimum variance that will make vossible the
reasonable use of the land. building or structures;
Response: In recognition of the overlay design requirements, the store has been located as
close to Federal Highway as is possible recognizing the unique shape of the parcel and the
proposed ultimate commercial use of tbe building.
F. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of this Chapter and that such variance will not be iniurious to the area involved or otherwise
detrimental to the fJublic welfare.
Response: This variance request is not a request for a use variance. The proposed use is
consistent with the property's commercial land use designation and commercial zoning. The
granting of this variance will actually benefit the area involved and the public welfare by
bringing new commercial development to the CRA district and the City.
G. Varjances to minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements, that prooerty is not
available from adiacent properties in order to meet these requirements or that the acquisition of
such property would cause the adjacent property or structures to become non-conforming.
Avoljcant shall provide an affidavit with the application for variance statiml, that the above-
mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional vroperty.
Response:
This provision is not applicable to this variance request.
In conclusion, we respectfully request the granting of this variance because it will pennit the
construction of a new full service grocery and general merchandise Walmart store for the
RM:7107800:1
2
Boy.nton Beach community. This should provide synergy for additional eRA District
development. We respectfully request that due to all of the reasons stated above, particularly
recognizing the limitations of the configuration of the parcel and other issues such as the existing
water and sewer mains, the City grant this variance request.
