MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning
THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager
DATE: September 12, 2011
Pagel of 3
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10.D. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2011
ORDINANCE NO. 29-11
ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
Second reading of a city- initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will
increase the parking requirements for restaurant uses along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to
NE /SE 5th Avenue, between the east -west alleys that are located immediately north and south of
Atlantic Avenue (see attached location map). The parking requirement will be increased from 6
spaces to 12 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. for restaurants to be equal to parking requirements City -wide.
BACKGROUND
Historic City Restaurant parking requirements:
Staff has researched old City Zoning codes to determine historic parking requirements for restaurants.
Prior to 1972 (pre 1959 to 1972) the city's requirements for restaurants were based on seats vs. square
footage. These requirements have been converted to spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. by dividing restaurant space
into kitchen and dining room spaces. This was done utilizing a standard formula for restaurant layouts
which allots about 60 percent of the space for dining and 40 percent for the kitchen and storage area.
The seating capacities were then calculated by dividing the 600 sq. ft. by 10, 15 or 20 sq. ft. per person
depending on the type of restaurant. An average of 15 sq. ft. for these calculations was utilized
resulting in 40 seats per 1,000 sq. ft. restaurant.

Restaurant Parking Ratio Comparisons:
During previous discussions, questions were raised about whether a parking ratio of 12 spaces per 1,000
sq. ft. for restaurants was reasonable. As noted above a 1,000 sq. ft. restaurant space has the potential to
accommodate 40 seats. If you assume 2 persons per vehicle this would equate to an actual parking
impact of 20 vehicles, although there would be significantly more demand than 20 once you factor in
the high number of employees also generated by this use. Given these factors, it would appear that 12
spaces per 1,000 is a very conservative number which is significantly less than the potential parking
impact of this use.
Staff has also reviewed other planning organization's recommendations with respect to restaurant
requirements. While the city has 6 per 1,000 in the core area and 12 per 1,000 city wide, the ULI (Urban
Land Institute) recommends 14 spaces per 1,000 and the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers)
recommends 13 spaces per 1,000. City staff has also researched how other municipalities address this
issue and found that they range from a high of 16 per 1,000 to a low of 1 per 1,000 (see attached). It is
further acknowledged that the City, unlike some other municipalities, does not assess parking for
sidewalk cafd seating. In reviewing all of the above info, it is clear the city requirement of 12 per 1,000
is in the same range with surrounding municipalities and industry standards.
Current Diversity of Uses:
In 2004, the City of Delray Beach Downtown Cluster Study was conducted. Cluster 4 in particular
(along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to NE /SE 5th Avenue, between the east -west alleys north
and south of Atlantic Avenue), was identified as having an abundance of restaurants (36 %) and the
study included recommendation language that encouraged retail uses without adding new restaurants.
Since then, significant additional conversions to restaurants have occurred, almost doubling the
restaurant percentages. Staff canvassed the current uses within Cluster 4 and estimates that the current
percentage of restaurant uses on the north side of the street is approaching 56% (63% if you include
cafe uses) and 63% (70 % if you include cafes) on the south side of the street.
Public Parking utilization rates:

Coversheet
Page 3 of 3
The ongoing conversion to restaurants and utilization of the in lieu options (no additional parking
provided) has resulted in an impact on the current public parking pool in the downtown area. The
adopted Parking Management Plan identifies current utilization rates of public parking. These include
utilization rates of surface parking lots in the low to moderate range on the weekdays and moderate to
high range (in some cases above capacity range) on Fridays and Saturdays, and the low range on
Sundays. The parking garage facilities have low utilization rates on weekdays and Sundays and low to
moderate ranges on Fridays and Saturdays.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
The Pineapple Grove Main Street (PGMS) committee reviewed the item at their June 1, 2011 meeting
and discussed their concern over the approach to create a disincentive for restaurants, rather than
creating an incentive to achieve what is desired, which is the retention and attraction of retail. They felt
that the amendment should be crafted such that it gets us what we want, rather than what we don't
want. One suggestion was to evaluate the current "credit" that is given to existing retail establishments
when they go about converting to restaurant use; it was suggested that they start at zero and not be
given credit for "existing" spaces when those spaces may merely be grandfathered.
This approach would in fact increase the parking requirement similar to this amendment. The proposed
approach to increase the parking ratio and return them to a level commensurate with the overall city
requirement is much more defensible.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) reviewed the item at their June 9, 2011 meeting and
recommended that P &Z work with CRA staff to incorporate this amendment with other parking
changes such as reductions for offices, etc. There were also questions concerning whether or not
doubling of the requirements was too much of a change, and if the area subject to the increase might be
changed (i.e. only certain clusters). Since their consideration, the area has been significantly reduced.
Staff will be working with the CRA staff on further incentives to encourage business diversity in the
downtown.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) reviewed the item at their June 13, 2011 meeting and a
recommendation of approval was made.
The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) reviewed the item at their June 14, 2011 meeting
and a recommendation of approval was made.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the item at their June 20, 2011 meeting and a unanimous
recommendation of approval was made, with the comment that the area affected by this amendment be
generally limited to the Central Core area between Swinton Avenue to East 5th Avenue, immediately
north and south of Atlantic Avenue. The area recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board is
reflected in the current ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve Ordinance No. 29 -11 on second reading for a city - initiated amendment to the Land
Development Regulations, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report and
finding that the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in
Section 2.4.5(M) of the Land Development Regulations.

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 12.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 6, 2011
ORDINANCE NO. 29-11 (RECONSIDERATION OF RESTAURANT PARKING
REQUIREMENT CHANGE)
ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
Reconsideration of a city- initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will
increase the parking requirements for restaurant uses along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to
NE /SE 5th Avenue, between the east -west alleys that are located immediately north and south of
Atlantic Avenue (see attached location map). The parking requirement will be increased from 6
spaces to 12 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. for restaurants to be equal to parking requirements City-wide .
BACKGROUND
Historic City Restaurant parking requirements:
Staff has researched old City Zoning codes to determine historic parking requirements for restaurants.
Prior to 1972 (pre 1959 to 1972) the city's requirements for restaurants were based on seats vs. square
footage. These requirements have been converted to spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. by dividing restaurant space
into kitchen and dining room spaces. This was done utilizing a standard formula for restaurant layouts
which allots about 60 percent of the space for dining and 40 percent for the kitchen and storage area.
The seating capacities were then calculated by dividing the 600 sq. ft. by 10, 15 or 20 sq. ft. per person
depending on the type of restaurant. An average of 15 sq. ft. for these calculations was utilized
resulting in 40 seats per 1,000 sq. ft. restaurant.

provide parking)
Restaurant Parking Ratio Comparisons:
During previous discussions, questions were raised about whether a parking ratio of 12 spaces per 1,000
sq. ft. for restaurants was reasonable. As noted above a 1,000 sq. ft. restaurant space has the potential to
accommodate 40 seats. If you assume 2 persons per vehicle this would equate to an actual parking
impact of 20 vehicles, although there would be significantly more demand than 20 once you factor in
the high number of employees also generated by this use. Given these factors, it would appear that 12
spaces per 1,000 is a generous number which is significantly less than the parking impact of this use.
Staff has also reviewed other planning organization's recommendations with respect to restaurant
requirements. While the city has 6 per 1,000 in the core area and 12 per 1,000 city wide, the ULI (Urban
Land Institute) recommends 14 spaces per 1,000 and the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers)
recommends 13 spaces per 1,000. City staff has also researched how other municipalities address this
issue and found that they range from a high of 16 per 1,000 to a low of 1 per 1,000 (see attached). It is
further acknowledged that the City, unlike some other municipalities, does not assess parking for
sidewalk cafe seating. In reviewing all of the above info, it is clear the city requirement of 12 per 1,000
is in the same range with surrounding municipalities and industry standards.
Current Diversity of Uses:
In 2004, the City of Delray Beach Downtown Cluster Study was conducted. Cluster 4 in particular
(along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to NE /SE 5th Avenue, between the east -west alleys north
and south of Atlantic Avenue), was identified as having an abundance of restaurants (36 %) and the
study included recommendation language that encouraged retail uses without adding new restaurants.
Since then, significant additional conversions to restaurants have occurred, almost doubling the
restaurant percentages. Staff canvassed the current uses within Cluster 4 and estimates that the current
percentage of restaurant uses on the north side of the street is approaching 56% (63% if you include
http: // itwebapp /AgendalntranetBluesheet .aspx ?ItemID = 4865 &MeetingID =328 9/12/2011
Coversheet Page 3 of 4
cafe uses) and 63% (70 % if you include cafes) on the south side of the street.
Public Parking utilization rates:
The ongoing conversion to restaurants and utilization of the in lieu options (no additional parking
provided) has resulted in an impact on the current public parking pool in the downtown area. The
adopted Parking Management plan identifies current utilization rates of public parking. These include
utilization rates of surface parking lots in the low to moderate range on the weekdays and moderate to
high range (in some cases above capacity range) on Fridays and Saturdays, and the low range on
Sundays. The parking garage facilities have low utilization rates on weekdays and Sundays and low to
moderate ranges on Fridays and Saturdays.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
The Pineapple Grove Main Street (PGMS) committee reviewed the item at their June 1, 2011 meeting
and discussed their concern over the approach to create a disincentive for restaurants, rather than
creating an incentive to achieve what is desired, which is the retention and attraction of retail. They felt
that the amendment should be crafted such that it gets us what we want, rather than what we don't
want. One suggestion was to evaluate the current "credit" that is given to existing retail establishments
when they go about converting to restaurant use; it was suggested that they start at zero and not be
given credit for "existing" spaces when those spaces may merely be grandfathered.
This approach would in fact increase the parking requirement similar to this amendment. The proposed
approach to increase the parking ratio and return them to a level commensurate with the overall city
requirement is much more defensible.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) reviewed the item at their June 9, 2011 meeting and
recommended that P &Z work with CRA staff to incorporate this amendment with other parking
changes such as reductions for offices, etc. There were also questions concerning whether or not
doubling of the requirements was too much of a change, and if the area subject to the increase might be
changed (i.e. only certain clusters). Since their consideration, the area has been significantly reduced.
Staff will be working with the CRA staff and further incentives to encourage business diversity in the
downtown.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) reviewed the item at their June 13, 2011 meeting and a
recommendation of approval was made.
The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) reviewed the item at their June 14, 2011 meeting
and a recommendation of approval was made.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the item at their June 20, 2011 meeting and a unanimous
recommendation of approval was made, with the comment that the area affected by this amendment be
generally limited to the Central Core area between Swinton Avenue to 5th Avenue, immediately north
and south of Atlantic Avenue. The area recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board is reflected in
the current ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve Ordinance No. 29 -11 on first reading for a city- initiated amendment to the Land
Development Regulations, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report and

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: JUNE 20, 2011
AGENDA NO: IV. C.
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF A CITY - INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR), BY AMENDING SECTION 4.4.13,
"CENTRAL BUSINESS (CBD) DISTRICT ", SUBSECTION (G),
"SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS ", SECTION 4.4.24, "OLD
SCHOOL SQUARE HISTORIC ARTS DISTRICT (OSSHAD) ",
SUBSECTION (G), `SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS ", AND
SECTION 4.4.28, "CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT - RAILROAD
CORRIDOR (CBD -RC) ", SUBSECTION (G), "SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT
REGULATIONS ", TO CLARIFY THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
RESTAURANTS.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding a city -
initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will remove the current parking
incentive enjoyed by restaurant uses in the CBD, CBD -RC, and OSSHAD (except in two areas:
West Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove Main Street, where additional redevelopment
incentives are desired). The parking requirement will be increased to be commensurate with
parking requirements City -wide from 6 to 12 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. for restaurants.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may
not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Restaurant uses have enjoyed a huge success in downtown Delray Beach. Attracting restaurants,
along with mixed -use developments, was an intentional part of the City's rebirth from its days of
blight and distress. Creating other incentives, including utilizing shared parking, allowing off -site
parking agreements, approval of valet service, have all helped to shape downtown to the success it
has become today.
In 1990, the Land Development Regulations listed a parking requirement for all uses in the Central
Business District at 1 space per 300 sq. ft. and required that any parking spaces that are
eliminated through redevelopment be replaced. This 1 space per 300 sq. ft. parking ratio was the
requirement for restaurants at that time.
In 1993, the parking requirement for restaurants within the original DDA area was increased to six
(6) spaces for each 1,000 sq. ft. This was half the requirement for restaurants elsewhere in the
city, where the requirement was (and remains) at 12 spaces for the first 6,000 sq. ft., and 15
spaces for each 1,000 sq. ft. over 6,000 sq. ft. This incentive was created to attract restaurant
uses into the downtown. This incentive has been extremely successful and we are now
experiencing an economically unhealthy saturation of restaurants within certain portions of the
downtown area.
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, June 20, 2011
LDR Amendment- Restaurant Parking Requirements in the Central Core
In 2004, the City of Delray Beach Downtown Cluster Study was conducted. Cluster 4, in particular,
was identified as having an abundance of restaurants, and it recommended no further conversion
of retail over to restaurants. While reference to the Cluster Study and its discouragement of
restaurant conversions has been made in staff reports, such proposals and conversion have
continually been made. A diversity of uses within the downtown is desired to provide customers a
variety of options (dining, shopping, entertainment venues, etc.) Limiting options to "dining only"
will affect the economic complexion of our downtown.
Recently, there has been increased concern by the business community that too many restaurants
have saturated the downtown, and that something needs to be done to incentivize new restaurants
to areas where they have not currently located (Pineapple Grove and West Atlantic) and to
encourage other types of uses including retail opportunities. This amendment increases the
required parking for restaurants to what it is in the balance of the City (12/1,000, then 15/1,000 for
floor area over 6,000 sq. ft.) in the Central Core and Beach sections of the CBD. The parking
requirement of 6 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. remains unchanged for the Pineapple Grove and the
West Atlantic neighborhoods. This amendment should not be characterized as an increase but
more as a removal of an incentive which has been extremely successful and is no longer needed.
This amendment will provide more of an incentive to retain non - restaurant uses (discourage retail
conversions to restaurants) in the Central Core.
This change will be followed up with additional incentives for retail retention and expansion with a
combined goal to ensure there is a mix of downtown activities that include those beyond
exclusively restaurants.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Comprehensive Plan Conformance
LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings) requires that the City Commission make a finding that the text
amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. A thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the
following goals, objectives and policies support this proposed amendment:
GOAL AREA "C"
Blighted areas of the city shall be redeveloped and renewed and shall be the major contributing
areas to the renaissance of Delray Beach.
Obiective C -3
The Central Business District (CBD) and surrounding neighborhoods, including A -1 -A, Seacrest
and Swinton Avenue represents the essence of what is Delray Beach i.e. a "village by the sea ".
The continued revitalization of the CBD is essential to achieving the overall theme of the City's
Comprehensive Plan by managing growth and preserving the charm. The following policies and
activities shall be pursued in the achievement of this objective.
Policy C -3.1 The Central Business District (CBD) Zoning District regulations shall facilitate and
encourage rehabilitation and revitalization and shall, at a minimum, address the following:
❑ incentives for locating retail on the ground floor with office and residential use on upper floors.
By returning the parking requirement to that which is consistent with this use City -wide, retail uses
will become more attractive to the Central Core of the CBD. Restaurant uses will continue to be

incentivized in the Pineapple Grove and West Atlantic Avenue neighborhoods. This amendment is
consistent with this policy of the Comprehensive Plan.

changes such as reductions for offices, etc. There were also questions concerning whether or not
doubling of the requirements was too much of a change, and if the area subject to the increase
might be changed (i.e. only certain clusters).
Staff will be working with the CRA staff and further incentives to encourage business diversity in
the downtown.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) reviewed the item at their June 13, 2011 meeting
and a recommendation of approval was made.
The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) reviewed the item at their June 14,
2011 meeting and a recommendation of approval was made.
Courtesy Notices
Courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowner and civic associations:
• Neighborhood Advisory Council
• Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD)
Letters of objection and support, if any, will be provided at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION
By returning the parking requirement to that which is consistent with this use City -wide, retail uses
will become more attractive to the Central Core of the CBD. Restaurant uses will continue to be
incentivized in the Pineapple Grove and West Atlantic Avenue neighborhoods.
