12 WHEREAS, in an effort to continue to move the City towards a greener, more
13 sustainable environment, staff is recommending to reduce the required parking standards for
14 certain residential uses based on the continued analysis of the City's minimum parking
15 requirements applicable to residential land uses, as started last year in conjunction with the
16 first test of regulations (CDRV 17-006) intended to address parking deficiencies documented
17 in certain areas of the city and possibly associated with overbuilt or expanded houses, group
18 homes, vacation rentals, etc.; and
19 WHEREAS, the proposed minor adjustments to the current regulations are intended
20 to consider the automobile ownership characteristics unique to household types, including
21 those with lower than average incomes and age restricted developments, development
22 sustainability, and environmentally sensitive design, while maintaining what staff believes is
23 a reasonable and adequate parking requirement; and
24 WHEREAS, the proposed revisions would create greater opportunities for increased
25 landscaping,and pervious area through the reduction in the amount of pavement on residential
26 sites.
27 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF
28 THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT:
29 Section 1. The foregoing whereas clauses are true and correct and are now ratified

31 Section 2. City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4,
32 "Site Development Standards", Article V "Minimum off-street parking requirements", Sec. 2
33 "Standards" is hereby amended as follows:
34
35 Sec. 2. Standards.
36 A. General.
37 1. Rules and Methodology.
38 a. Parking space requirements shall be computed on the basis of the principal use of a structure
39 or lot, and using gross floor area unless stated otherwise in this article. Gross floor area, for the
40 purposes of this subsection, shall include the floor area occupied by the principal use, plus the floor
41 area occupied by all other enclosed spaces, including but not limited to storage rooms, maintenance
42 and mechanical rooms, offices, lounges, restrooms, lobbies, basements, mezzanines, and hallways.
43 b. Where several principal uses exist in one (1) structure or on one (1) lot, parking space
44 requirements shall be computed separately for each principal use, unless stated otherwise in this
45 article. Where parking spaces are required in this article for each of several principal uses that
46 commonly occur together, this is done for the purpose of clarification only, and shall not limit the
47 application of the requirement contained in this paragraph.
48 c. A use shall be considered a principal use,for the purposes of this subsection, if it could exist
49 separately from all other uses in the same structure or on the same lot, and would by itself generate
50 significant parking demand.
51 d. Where several principal uses exist in one (1) building or part of a building,and the floor area
52 of each principal use cannot be clearly delineated, the parking space requirement for the use
53 requiring the greatest number of parking spaces shall apply.
54 e. Where a use is not listed below, parking space requirements shall be determined by the City
55 Commission after review and recommendation by the Director of Planning and Zoning or designee.
56 f. Where the number of required parking spaces as computed includes a fraction, the number
57 of required parking spaces shall be the computed number rounded to the next highest whole
58 number.
59 g. Except as provided in Section 3.E. below, there shall be provided, at the time of the erection
60 of any structure or establishment of any use, a number of off-street parking spaces in accordance
61 with the following minimum requirements, and subject to the parking requirements of this
62 subsection. Where a structure or use is enlarged or increased in capacity by any means, including a
63 change in building occupancy which requires the provision of additional parking spaces, or a change
64 in use to or which requires additional parking spaces, the minimum number of parking spaces shall
65 be computed by applying these requirements to the entire structure or use.
S:\CA\Ordinances\LDR Changes\Revise parking requirements for residential uses(Ch 4 Art V)-Ordinance.docx

70 dwelling to be served.
71 b. Non-residential. Required parking spaces for all non-residential uses shall be owned by the
72 owner of the building or lot to be served, and shall be located on the same lot, or not more than
73 three hundred (300) feet distance, unless the property is located within those areas defined within
74 the adaptive re-use section of the Code (Chapter 4, Article 5, Section 4). In those areas, required
75 parking spaces may be leased within three hundred (300)feet of the use in which they serve, subject
76 to Board and City Commission approval, and the property shall be posted with signage indicating to
77 patrons the location of the leased parking.
78 4. Driveways and other impervious surfaces within front or side yards of single-and two-family
79 dwelling units.
80 a. Applicability. The requirements of this section are applicable to new construction projects,
81 modifications that increase air-conditioned living space and/or number of bedrooms, and requests
82 for a Certificate of Use.
83 b. Driveways shall be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or other hard-surface as approved by
84 the City Engineer. Where possible, design and construction should maximize the afbedle reflective
85 properties and minimize the heat island effect of such improvements. Also where possible, tandem
86 parking design, defined as the arrangement of two parking spaces placed one behind the other, is
87 encouraged to minimize impervious surface area and maximize the environmental design of the
88 project.
89 c. Such surfaces shall not exceed 40%of the minimum front yard area.
90 5. Tandem parking for multi-family developments. Tandem parking spaces may be counted as
91 meeting the parking requirements in multi-family developments only in such instances where the
92 tandem spaces are assigned to the same dwelling unit. The number and location of the tandem
93 parking spaces are subject to review and approval of the Planning&Zoning Director.

120 professional parking studies or parking analyses of similar projects constructed by the developer or
121 other similar projects constructed within the City,that a lesser parking requirement is warranted.
122 z Residential driveways can be used to satisfy,or partially satisfy the parking space requirements for
123 single-family detached dwelling units, duplexes, and multi-family dwelling units containing garages,
124 provided such driveways are of sufficient size to meet the parking space requirements of this
125 subsection. A residential driveway of sufficient size shall be provided prior to the issuance of a
126 certificate of occupancy. If garages are used towards meeting minimum parking requirements, said
127 garages shall remain open and available for vehicle parking consistent with the design represented
128 at time of approval. For all required parking spaces not located within an enclosed garage, the first
129 parking space shall be the minimum size required for a handicap space, exclusive of public or private
130 rights-of-way, and all other required spaces must be dimensioned in accordance with current city
131 standards. All driveways shall be setback at least two (2) feet from interior side and corner side
132 property lines, and maintained and drained so as to prevent nuisance conditions or a danger to the
133 public and/or adjacent property owners. Any expansion to an existing driveway shall require a zoning
134 permit from the Planning and Zoning Division in accordance with the procedures specified in Chapter

<R Memorandum PZ 18-069
TO: Chair and Members
Planning& Development Board
FROM: Ed Breese
Planning and Zoning Administrator
DATE: December 10, 2018
RE: Approve modifications to parking requirements (CDRV 19-001) - Amending the
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, Chapter 4. Zoning, Article V.
Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements, Section 2.A. & B., to revise parking
requirements for residential uses, and modifications to shed requirements (CDRV
19-002) — Amending the LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, Chapter 3.
Zoning, Article V. Supplemental Regulations, Section 3.E., to increase potential
siting locations for permanent sheds and storage structures.
EXPLANATION
Parking Amendments
In an effort to continue to move the City towards a greener, more sustainable environment, staff is
recommending to reduce the required parking standards for certain residential uses. The proposed
changes are based on the continued analysis of the City's minimum parking requirements applicable
to residential land uses, as started last year in conjunction with the first test of regulations (CDRV 17-
006) intended to address parking deficiencies documented in certain areas of the city and possibly
associated with overbuilt or expanded houses, group homes, vacation rentals, etc. Those regulations
resulted in revisions to the parking requirements to mandate a parking space be provided for each
bedroom of the dwelling unit, and for those dwelling units with five (5) or more bedrooms, 1.5
parking spaces per bedroom. The unintended impacts of increasing parking requirements for home
expansions and group homes, applied to all residential categories, has the consequences of adversely
impacting developments that may have lower than the typical vehicle ownership / parking demand.
These proposed minor adjustments to the current regulations are intended to consider the automobile
ownership characteristics unique to household types, including those with lower than average
incomes and age restricted developments, development sustainability, and environmentally sensitive
design, while maintaining what staff believes is a reasonable and adequate parking requirement. The
proposed revisions would create greater opportunities for increased landscaping, and pervious area
through the reduction in the amount of pavement on residential sites. In essence, the proposed
amendments would:
Parking&Shed Amendments(CDRV 19-001 &19-002)
Memo PZ No.18-069
• Distinguish between, and create separate requirements for, 1) the construction of a new
single-family or two-family structure; 2) expansions to single-family or two-family
structures which create additional bedrooms; 3) change of use and/or occupancy of single-
family or two-family structures, as well as those requiring a certificate of use and business
tax receipt; and 4) new single-family subdivisions or planned developments with attached
or detached single-family dwellings.
• Allow flexibility, facilitate cost savings, and support sustainable design by reducing
unneeded impervious surfaces.
• Remove multi-family developments from the previous regulations.
• Retain the language created under CDRV 17-006 which limited the amount of the front
yard that could be paved for parking purposes to 40%, thus preserving the amount of
greenspace.
The suggested parking amendments can be best described below:
1. Creation of four (4) categories of regulations for parking for single-family and two-family
structures as opposed to the one (1) scenario contained in Code Review 17-006.
2. The first category is for the construction of a new single-family or two-family structure, in
which parking required will be a minimum of two (2) parking spaces or one (1) per bedroom
whichever is greatest. For those structures with five (5) or more bedrooms, the required
parking greater than four (4) spaces would be noted on the permit drawings, labeled as a
future parking space, and sited and designed to conform to City standards. This provision
would establish how the additional space(s) can be accommodated if needed in the future, to
prevent overflow of vehicles onto lawn areas or the public right-of-way.
3. The second category is for expansions to single-family or two-family structures, in which
bedrooms are added. In this instance, only the new bedrooms are subject to providing
additional parking.
4. The third category is for existing single-family or two-family structures which undergo a
change in use or occupancy, or are required a certificate of use or business tax receipt. In
these instances, a minimum of two (2) parking spaces or one (1) per bedroom whichever is
greatest.
5. The fourth and last category is for new single-family subdivisions or planned developments
with attached or detached single-family dwellings. These typically larger developments may
submit a detailed justification through a parking study or analysis for staff review in
determination of the required parking ratio.
6. Additionally, as part of this amendment, multi-family developments are removed from these
same requirements adopted under CDRV 17-006
(see Attachment "A"for greater detail of the proposed amendments to the parking regulations).
Shed and Storage Structures Amendment
The locating of sheds on corner lots can present some difficulties, as a result of the builder
constructing the residence with large building setbacks from both street rights-of-way. This condition
may result in limited back and side yards for siting accessory structures such as sheds. In some
instances, property owners have subsequently constructed a screened porch, a patio, or a pool, and
-2-
Parking&Shed Amendments(CDRV 19-001 &19-002)
Memo PZ No.18-069
have little or no useable yard due to the original construction of the house. The purpose of this
suggested amendment is to eliminate the loss of useable yard characteristic of many corner lot
properties due to large setbacks.
(see Attachment "B"for greater detail of the proposed amendments associated with locating sheds
and storage structures).
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff proposes these code amendments to in an effort to equitably impose parking requirements
across a variety of single-family and two-family home development scenarios, and to provide greater
options for placement of sheds and storage structures on corner lots.

requirements shall be computed separately for each principal use, unless stated otherwise in this
article. Where parking spaces are required in this article for each of several principal uses that commonly
occur together,this is done for the purpose of clarification only,and shall not limit the application of the
requirement contained in this paragraph.
c. A use shall be considered a principal use, for the purposes of this subsection, if it could exist
separately from all other uses in the same structure or on the same lot, and would by itself generate
significant parking demand.
d. Where several principal uses exist in one (1) building or part of a building, and the floor area of
each principal use cannot be clearly delineated,the parking space requirement for the use requiring the
greatest number of parking spaces shall apply.
e. Where a use is not listed below, parking space requirements shall be determined by the City
Commission after review and recommendation by the Director of Planning and Zoning or designee.
f. Where the number of required parking spaces as computed includes a fraction, the number of
required parking spaces shall be the computed number rounded to the next highest whole number.
g. Except as provided in Section 3.E. below,there shall be provided, at the time of the erection of
any structure or establishment of any use, a number of off-street parking spaces in accordance with the
following minimum requirements, and subject to the parking requirements of this subsection. Where a
structure or use is enlarged or increased in capacity by any means, including a change in building
occupancy which requires the provision of additional parking spaces, or a change in use to or which
requires additional parking spaces,the minimum number of parking spaces shall be computed by applying
these requirements to the entire structure or use.

hundred(300)feet distance,unless the property is located within those areas defined within the adaptive
re-use section of the Code (Chapter 4, Article 5, Section 4). In those areas, required parking spaces may
be leased within three hundred (300) feet of the use in which they serve, subject to Board and City
Commission approval,and the property shall be posted with signage indicating to patrons the location of
the leased parking.
4. Driveways and other impervious surfaces within front or side yards of single- and two-family
dwelling units.
a. Applicability. The requirements of this section are applicable to new construction projects,
modifications that increase air-conditioned living space and/or number of bedrooms, and requests for a
Certificate of Use.
b. Driveways shall be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or other hard-surface as approved by the
City Engineer.Where possible,design and construction should maximize the albedo reflective properties
and minimize the heat island effect of such improvements.Also where possible,tandem parking design,
defined as the arrangement of two parking spaces placed one behind the other,is encouraged to minimize
impervious surface area and maximize the environmental design of the project.
c. Such surfaces shall not exceed 40%of the minimum front yard area.
5. Tandem parking for multi-family developments.Tandem parking spaces may be counted as meeting
the parking requirements in multi-family developments only in such instances where the tandem spaces
are assigned to the same dwelling unit.The number and location of the tandem parking spaces are subject
to review and approval of the Planning&Zoning Director.

required per unit, or 1 space per bedroom, whichever is greatest. An exception may be made when the
house is constructed for individuals meeting purchase or eligibility requirements that include maximum
income thresholds, then a maximum of 2 parking spaces shall be required per dwelling unit. For those
structures with five (5) or more bedrooms, the required parking greater then four(4)spaces would be
noted on the permit drawings, labeled as a future parking space and sited and designed to conform to
City standards. This provision would establish how the additional space(s) can be accommodated if
needed in the future, to prevent overflow of vehicles onto the lawn areas or the public right-of-way.
B. For expansions to existing single-family or two-family structures that increase the number of
bedrooms,only the new bedrooms are required to provide additional parking in compliance with footnote

per bedroom,whichever is greatest.
D.For new single-family subdivisions or planned developments with attached or detached single-family
dwellings, a detailed justification may be submitted for review during the development review process
requesting exemption from these regulations, which demonstrate, through recognized professional
parking studies or parking analyses of similar projects constructed by the developer or other similar
projects constructed within the City,that a lesser parking requirement is warranted.
2 Residential driveways can be used to satisfy, or partially satisfy the parking space requirements for
single-family detached dwelling units, duplexes, and multi-family dwelling units containing garages,
provided such driveways are of sufficient size to meet the parking space requirements of this
subsection. A residential driveway of sufficient size shall be provided prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy. If garages are used towards meeting minimum parking requirements, said garages shall
remain open and available for vehicle parking consistent with the design represented at time of approval.
For all required parking spaces not located within an enclosed garage,the first parking space shall be the
minimum size required for a handicap space, exclusive of public or private rights-of-way, and all other
required spaces must be dimensioned in accordance with current city standards. All driveways shall be
setback at least two(2)feet from interior side and corner side property lines,and maintained and drained
so as to prevent nuisance conditions or a danger to the public and/or adjacent property owners. Any
expansion to an existing driveway shall require a zoning permit from the Planning and Zoning Division in
accordance with the procedures specified in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 5.B.; however, any driveway
expansion(or similar impervious surface)that is equal to or greater than eight hundred (800)square feet
shall require the approval of a land development permit in accordance with Chapter 2,Article III,Section
3. Any work,such as a driveway,proposed within the swale(right-of-way)shall require a permit from the
Engineering Division in accordance with the procedures specified in Chapter 2,Article III,Section 4.

of three(3)or more dwelling units.
4 Required parking shall be calculated on the basis of one (1) space per each employee, manager, or
owner and one (1) parking space for each guest unit. Newly created parking may be located only in the
rear and side yard.
5 In addition to the required parking for the residential unit,the city requires that one (1) parking space
per two (2) live/work units be provided to meet business activity needs. Parking provided to meet this
requirement shall be located on the lot, built into or under the structure, or within three hundred (300)
feet of the unit in which the use is located. The distance shall be a straight line measurement from a point
on the boundary line of the property of the subject unit to the closest boundary line of the property on
which the parking is located. Parking provided to accommodate said space, including driveways of
adequate depth in front of the unit's garage, shall not serve as meeting required parking for the unit's
residential use.
6 Hotel/motel uses open to the general public,such as a restaurant or lounge, shall provide parking at a
rate of fifty percent(50%)of the requirement of a standalone operation.
