Lynn Swanson Paralegal City of Boynton Beach 100 E. Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, FL 33425 (561) 742-6053 (561) 742-6054 - Fax From: Jim Cherof [mailto:jcherof@cityatty.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 10:04 AM To: Swanson, Lynn Subject: Quantum Please forward to Commission and Manager. The item on the Commission agenda this evening regarding Quantum park under "Legal, Other" is Wile informational only and concerns a pending application for another Charter School in Quantum Park. The Development Department has this under control and has worked with the applicant to expedite the 3/18/2008 Page 2 of 2 matter. Nonetheless, I received a request from David Norris who represents Quantum to ask if the Commission could waive the review process since a prior Charter School use had been approved in Quantum. I advised him the Commission could not waive the review requirements since the prior approval was site specific, but that I could alert the Commission that the matter was pending and would reach them for review in April. The agenda item is for that purpose. Mike Rumpf has also provided this information on the site specific nature of the previous approval: • A review of the staff report on "Survivor's Charter High School" Use Approval dated 1- 20-03, indicates the following recommendation, "Use approvals for the Quantum Park PID typically apply to lots with selected use options, rather than only specified lots. However, contrary to past practice, staff would recommend that for the unique use of a charter high school approval be granted only for Lots 18 and 19.This will facilitate the future case-by-case review of similar and other uses potentially qualifying as a school." • This recommendation was then considered at the 1-28-03 P&D Board meeting, and the motion read, "Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the request for use approval for a Charter High School on Lots 18 and 19 in the Quantum Park Planned Industrial Development (PID). Motion was seconded by Mr.. Fitzpatrick and carried unanimously." • The City Commission subsequently, at their 2-4-03 meeting, approved the P&D Board's recommendation under the Consent Agenda without any discussion. • The Quantum Park PID Permitted Use List has reflected that "Charter High School" is approved for Lots 18 & 19 only, since the above Commission action. • Lastly, we (Staff) have already expedited the review of this latest application from a June 17 Commission meeting (based upon date it was submitted), to an April 15 Commission meeting.
