TOWN HALL MEETING PRESENTATION
TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1999 7:00 PM
AS CHAIRMAN OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD OF DELRAY BEACH, IT IS MY
PLEASURE TO PRESENT THE BOARD'S ANNUAL REPORT. THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD IS TO HELP MANAGE THE CITY'S GROWTH THROUGH
IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND TO ENSURE THAT
DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE
UNIQUE CHARACTER OF DELRAY BEACH.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE PRIMARY GROWTH MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR OUR
CITY. IT CONTAINS THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES BY WHICH WE MONITOR THE CITY'S
GROWTH AND MAINTAIN A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. THE PLANNING
AND ZONING BOARD REVIEWS VARIOUS PROPOSALS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S PLANS AND GOALS, AND WE
ALSO UPDATE THE PLAN PERIODICALLY TO MAKE SURE IT'S KEEPING PACE WITH
CHANGES IN THE CITY. LAST YEAR THE BOARD REVIEWED MORE THAN 80
DEVELOPMENT RELATED PROPOSALS, INCLUDING ANNEXATIONS, LAND USE CHANGES,
REZONINGS, CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS, AND AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE.
THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS MADE LAST YEAR TOWARD ACHIEVING THE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. TONIGHT I'M GOING
TO TOUCH ON JUST A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.
THE LAND USE SECTION OF THE PLAN IDENTIFIES AREAS WITHIN THE CITY THAT
REQUIRE THE PREPARATION OF SPECIAL REDEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD
PLANS. LAST YEAR ONE SUCH PLAN WAS ADOPTED FOR THE DEL IDA PARK/SEACREST
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WORK HAS BEGUN ON ITS IMPLEMENTATION. ZONING CHANGES
WERE APPROVED TO SUPPORT THE PREDOMINANT SINGLE FAMILY CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND PLANS ARE UNDERWAY FOR LANDSCAPING AND ROADWAY
IMPROVEMENTS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO CALLS FOR THE ANNEXATION OF PROPERTIES THAT
ARE UNDER PALM BEACH COUNTY'S JURISDICTION BUT ARE WITHIN THE CITY'S LONG
RANGE PLANNING AREA. THE CITY ANNEXED 13 ACRES OF VACANT LAND LAST YEAR,
ADDING MORE THAN A HALF MILLION DOLLARS TO THE TAX BASE.
ANOTHER GOAL OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF HOUSING
TYPES THAT APPEAL TO ALL AGE RANGES AND INCOME LEVELS. LAST YEAR, 144
APPLICATIONS FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS WERE APPROVED, INCLUDING
CONDOMINIUM UNITS, TOWNHOMES, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND APARTMENT
COMPLEXES.
IN ADDITION TO THE ON-GOING GROWTH IN HOUSING, THE CITY HAS CONTINUED TO
ATTRACT NEW BUSINESSES, AND ENCOURAGE EXPANSIONS OF EXISTING
BUSINESSES. LAST YEAR WE APPROVED CLOSE TO ONE MILLION SQUARE FEET OF
NEW COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND INDUSTRIAL FLOOR AREA. SOME EXAMPLES OF THIS
ACTIVITY INCLUDE THE LIFE CARE SERVICES BUILDING IN THE DELRAY PARK OF
2
COMMERCE, WHICH IS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE CORNER OF LAKE IDA
ROAD AND CONGRESS AVE. IN ADDITION, MORE THAN 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF NEW
OFFICE SPACE WAS APPROVED IN CONGRESS PARK, WHICH IS LOCATED ON
CONGRESS AVENUE SOUTH OF ATLANTIC AVENUE. APPLICATIONS FOR MAJOR
RENOVATIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS WERE ALSO APPROVED, INCLUDING THE SUNDY
HOUSE RESTAURANT AND INN ON SOUTH SWlNTON AVENUE, THE OLD CROSS PAINT
BUILDING ON SE 2ND STREET WHICH IS NOW THE MILAGRO CENTER, AND THE
SHOPPING PLAZA IN PINEAPPLE GROVE, WHICH IS TO BE THE SOUTH COUNTY HOME OF
THE MIAMI CITY BALLET.
ANOTHER GOAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO PROMOTE RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THIS YEAR PLANS WERE APPROVED FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF 32 NEW CONDOMINIUM UNITS, AS WELL AS 8 NEW APARTMENTS
WHICH ARE TO BE BUILT ABOVE NEW COMMERCIAL SPACE. WE ALSO MODIFIED THE
CODE REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL UNITS TO BE BUILT IF CERTAIN
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ARE MET. AS RESULT, A MAJOR RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX
HAS BEEN PROPOSED ON A SITE RIGHT OFF OF ATLANTIC AVENUE.
THE CITY WRESTLED WITH SEVERAL DEVELOPMENT RELATED ISSUES IN 1998 AS WE
SOUGHT TO BALANCE PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS WITH THE DESIRE TO PRESERVE
DELRAY'S UNIQUE CHARACTER. AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD HAVE IMPOSED
ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS ON THE SIZE AND SCALE OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES
THROUGHOUT THE CITY WAS REJECTED AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION AND A GREAT
DEAL OF PUBLIC INPUT. IT WAS DECIDED THAT THESE REGULATIONS WOULD BE
3
BETTER APPLIED TO INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOODS OR SECTIONS OF TOWN WHERE THE
RESIDENTS STRONGLY SUPPORT THE RESTRICTIONS AND COME FORWARD ON THEIR
OWN INITIATIVE. NUMEROUS OTHER AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS WERE CONSIDERED AND ADOPTED, INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON
ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS, SELF-STORAGE WAREHOUSES,
SECONDHAND SALES, PSYCHIC READERS, SIDEWALK CAFES, TEMPORARY PARKING
LOTS, AND RESIDENTIAL INNS.
RECOGNIZING OUR PAST AS WELL AS OUR FUTURE, THE CITY HAS CONTINUED IN ITS
EFFORTS TO PROMOTE HISTORIC PRESERVATION. WE APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED A
STATE GRANT TO PERFORM A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF OLDER STRUCTURES IN
THE CITY. THAT SURVEY WORK IS NOW UNDERWAY, AND WE EXPECT IT TO RESULT IN
THE DESIGNATION OF ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES AND NEIGHBORHOODS AS HISTORIC,
SO THAT THEY CAN BE PRESERVED FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS.
ALL IN ALL I THINK WE CAN SAY THAT A LOT OF PROGRESS WAS MADE THIS YEAR
TOWARD REACHING THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND
IN MOVING US CLOSER TO THAT VISION. THE CITY HAS A GREAT DEAL OF MOMENTUM
AND MANY SUCCESSES ON WHICH TO BUILD ITS FUTURE, AND WE EXPECT TO SEE
MORE OF THE SAME IN THE COMING YEAR.
AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MY FELLOW
PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS WHO HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TO THE
REVIEW AND DECISION MAKING PROCESS--ROBIN BIRD, ALBERTA MCCARTHY, GARY
4
ELIOPOULOS, LLOYD HASNER, DAN CARTER, AND OUR NEWEST MEMBER, ELAINE
MORRIS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND ATTENTION. IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE
YOU NOW TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, JOHN WEAVER.

Each year, the Planning and Zoning Department,
working with the Site Plan Review and

beauty of the community through creative design. Milagro Children's Center

In order to promote residential development in the
downtown area, Planning and Zoning staff drafted
regulations that allow an increase in the number of
dwelling units for projects that meet certain
criteria. These criteria, known as "performance
standards," relate to the following aspects of the
development: building design and appearance; the
size and mix of dwelling units; recreational and
other amenities; interior finishes and design;
pedestrian access and movement; provision of
shared or public parking; and the inclusion of
commercial uses on the ground floor. The intent

Close
We continue to focus on West Atlantic as our major emphasis.
Although I think its important to note that West Atlantic is one of eight
geographic areas that the CRA is responsible for.
I think it's also important to note that our job is to increase the tax base and
stimulate private investment.
As a measure of our report card we look at the TIF monies or Tax Increment
Financing we receive from the City and the County.
Last year I was so proud to announce an 18% in our TIF monies at this meeting.
This year we are looking at a 40% increase .... I guess now I am overwhelmed
with the interest private investment has in our community.
We are certainly not solely responsible for all the credits .... However I believe
that it's that magical triangle that most of your heard me speak of before ... It's
the collaboration of City Government, Business and Community ... the residents
in which we serve.
I thank you for your time.

MEMORANDUM
TO: David T. Harden, City Manager
FROM: Alison Harty, City Cler~
SUBJECT: Summary Accomplishments/Goals - Town Hall Meetinq
DATE: January 25, 1999
For the period January thru December, 1998, the Clerk's office
accomplished the following:
** Prepared agendas/minutes for 37 City Commission meetings
** Prepared and/or processed 52 ordinances
75 resolutions
The City Commission agendas and minutes are placed on the Chamber
of Commerce website (www.delraybeach.com). A goal for 1999 is to
establish a website for the Clerk's office once Internet access
is achieved.
In addition to our administrative duties, Phase I of the records
facility improvement project was bid and constructed (substantial
completion 12/98; final 1/99). Phase I consisted of interior
renovations to offices and work areas along with mechanical and
electrical system modifications. With these physical
improvements, the records function can now be centralized,
including the relocation of our microfilm/imaging equipment from
the Clerk's office.
While construction was underway, our Records Coordinator
conducted training sessions with City departments on state
regulations and requirements for records retention/destructionJ
Phase II of the improvements will include bringing the records
facility up to state environmental standards (climate control);
funding will be sought for FY 2000.
Also programmed for 1999 are physical improvements to the City
Clerk's office, including more ergonomically friendly work
stations, paint and carpeting.
