Mr. Brian Shutt, City Attorney, stated this item is regarding the lawsuit with Palm Beach County for the funding of the Inspector General and the county will have a possible ordinance going before the Palm Beach County Commission on March 20, 2012 that would make changes to the current ordinance. He asked if the City Commission wanted to contribute to fund the Inspector General for the year and a half that the Inspector General has been operating and has not received funds from the municipalities because of the lawsuit. He referenced the invoice in the agenda backup. He stated some municipalities have considered a third of the cost and some a quarter of the cots. Mrs. Gray asked what impact we will have if we wait and not contribute to fund the Inspector General. 3 March 15, 2012 Mr. Shutt discussed the settlement further.

He asked if the City Attorney had an idea of what other municipalities are going to do. Mr. Carney asked what happens if we do not agree to pay anything. Dr. Alperin reiterated that this is an offer of settlement and if the municipalities agree to it then, the lawsuit is over. Mr. Shutt stated the county may change their ordinance.

Dr. Alperin asked under what grounds they would have the right to charge us for the service. He asked what the county’s response was. Discussion between Commission and staff continued. It was the consensus of the Commission to not pay. Mayor McDuffie adjourned the Special Meeting at 4:14 p.m. WORKSHOP MEETING AGENDA 1.

He introduced Lisa Tropepe, Vice-Mayor of Palm Beach Shores and President of the Palm Beach County League of Cities. Mr. Nolan summarized the item and stated the city has to have its own internal plan; and he and Mr. Reade are working on the plan. Mr. Nolan gave an overview of existing economic conditions (Congress Avenue Corridor statistics) and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Economic Development Incentives. Mr. Reade discussed what other communities are doing regarding their various economic development programs. Mr. Nolan highlighted citywide economic development goals and strategies including non-fiscal strategies and recommendations. Dr. Alperin stated all of the changes would be easy to accomplish if it were designated a CRA district. He stated we do not need to reinvent the wheel again. Mr. Carney stated he spoke with Mr. Nolan several times and supports any initiative that will develop this corridor. He commented that this is a great effort. 4 March 15, 2012 Mrs. Gray stated she is excited about the whole program and is in support of creating a whole new CRA with a sunset date. She stated we need to look into Commission serving as a CRA like in other cities. She asked about universities and hospitals as partners in this initiative. Mr. Frankel asked Mr. Nolan if he considers parking meters an economic development incentive and Mr. Nolan replied that each city has its issues with parking. Mayor McDuffie stated we cannot afford not to do this. Mr. Nolan stated he and Mr. Reade will be back before Commission with concrete plans. 2. Discussion of Possible Charter Review Committee Dr. Alperin opened this item and stated Commission has heard the discussion a few times and it has been over ten (10) years and he thinks a review should be done. He stated the committee should consist of 8-10 people with a chair and with a completion date. It should also have one (1) or two (2) public hearings. Mr. Frankel stated the committee should be an odd number with each commissioner appointing two each. He stated five each is too much. Mr. Harden explained how the committee was appointed in the past. Mr. Carney stated there should be diversity of thought and stated Commission should nominate and appoint a chair. Mrs. Gray asked what is being reviewed regarding the Charter: the whole thing or was there a specific issue. Dr. Alperin stated the whole Charter should be reviewed. Mr. Carney mentioned the roundtable and feels we should do a “Visions 20/20” to get a larger group involved. This is a great time to get some engagement. The City Manager mentioned the American Assembly process. He stated we will be approaching the Goal Setting process soon and suggested a citizen summit be held since it has not been done in two years. It was the consensus of the Commission to have a citizen summit. Discussion continued between staff and Commission. It was the consensus of the Commission to place the Charter Review Committee appointment on the March 20, 2012 agenda. 3. Discuss Changes to Special Event Policies and Procedures Mr. Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated he is present to discuss changes to the policy and obtain direction. He discussed five recommendations regarding the Special Event Policies and Procedures. Dr. Alperin stated Commission should go item by item to discuss preferences. Mr. Carney asked why certain organizations were grandfathered in; and asked about the time length. Mr. Frankel asked why the city is absorbing any costs. 5 March 15, 2012 Dr. Alperin stated start with 5% per year for three years so that persons can get used to this. Mrs. Gray asked if we need an event planner. Mr. Barcinski stated he and his executive assistant spend about half of their time on events. Ms. Martin questioned the administrative fee. Mr. Barcinski stated we would charge an administrative fee for the overtime. Mr. Frankel stated he is fine with the proposal regarding deposits. He asked why the city is not paid before an event. Nancy Stewart stated paying up front would put them out of business. Mr. Mike Malone, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, stated most businesses/event producers do not have the liquidity to pay up front. Mrs. Gray stated she does not feel we should eliminate co-sponsorships. Mayor McDuffie asked about the Chris Evert and Junior Tennis Tournament Sponsorships. Mr. Barcinski discussed contracts. Mayor McDuffie stated the two golf courses make a profit and our tennis stadium is shaky. He mentioned bidding for the Davis Cup, etc. Mr. Frankel mentioned the Tourist Development Council and grants. It was the consensus of the Commission to implement the changes to the Special Event Policies and Procedure as recommended by staff, and make the changes consistent with the budget year. 4. Provide Direction on Valet Parking Program Options Mr. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist presented a PowerPoint presentation to the Commission. Mr. Aronson stated that the objective was to evaluate the current valet parking program, get some of the parking study recommendations equitable to the City, and provide options. He stated that the Parking Study suggested that the location of the valet queues, the creation of uniformity among the queues, public access awareness, and having signage on the queues that represented the sponsors/restaurants be re-evaluated. He suggested looking at other program options. He discussed several options like a fee based program throughout downtown, which could create financial value per parking space; possibly an in-house operation to control the aspects of service; flat fee management which would be collected periodically or have a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) provided to license each queue separately and then negotiate the fees with the qualified vendor. Mr. Aronson stated that the current revenue from the valet queues is $63,000.00 a year, which included 40 spaces west of the Intracoastal at $100.00 per space and two (2) valet queues east of the Intracoastal at $125.00 per space. In addition, $19,200.00 per year is generated from 40 spaces leased in the Federspiel Garage at $40.00 per space/per month to Prime Steakhouse on S.E. 2nd Avenue. There are part-time spaces from the 110 East Atlantic Building in the Federspiel Garage used in the evenings. With the current system, the City would receive $82,200.00 per year with some efforts. Mr. Frankel stated that he attended the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) meeting and business owners discussed valet costs in the other municipalities. There should be a minimal increase in fees and valet queues should not be transferrable, queues should come back to the City, he does not want the consumer to suffer. 6 March 15, 2012 Mr. Harden advised that the language could be included in the agreement. Mrs. Gray stated that if there was a fee increase, it should be consistent from A1A to Atlantic Avenue. She is also in favor of three (3) year agreements. Mr. Carney stated the City should not run valet queues; our cost compared to other municipalities is very cheap. Dr. Alperin discussed the value of valet services to the City. He is interested in standardization so that everyone knows how many spaces they should have. Dr. Alperin asked if we have uniform requirements for the valet staff. He liked the idea of longer contracts, but there should be room for increases and other modifications. Mr. Aronson suggested a shirt with “Valet” on the back. Mrs. Gray discussed the congested traffic on S.E. 2nd Avenue. Mayor McDuffie said he appreciated everything that had been done. Stakeholders downtown are fine with the way the system works. Dr. Alperin asked if all contracts would expire this month. Brian Shutt, City Attorney, suggested that the termination clause in the contracts kept. 5. Discussion of On Street Parking Regulations Mr. Carney opened this item for discussion. He discussed the parking enforcement hours on East Atlantic Avenue (along Atlantic Avenue and SR A1A). He stated he wanted to encourage not discourage people to go to the beach and the restaurants downtown. Mr. Harden stated this may be an ordinance change. It was the consensus of the Commission to enforce meters beginning at 9:30 a.m. to maintain two (2) hours limit and no enforcement before 9:30 a.m. all beach parking and Atlantic Avenue Monday through Thursday only. 6. Draft Proposals for Drainage Design Requirements Mr. Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services presented this item. He discussed proposed revisions to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.3, “Submission Requirements” and Section 6.1.9, “Drainage Systems”, beforehand.

Carney, Jr. Commissioner Alson Jacquet Commissioner Adam Frankel Mayor Nelson S. McDuffie Absent -Commissioner Angeleta E. Gray Also present were -David T. Harden, City Manager Brian Shutt, City Attorney Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk Mayor McDuffie called the workshop meeting to order and announced that it had been called for the purpose of considering the following Items. WORKSHOP MEETING AGENDA 1. Discussion of proposed agreement with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser related to a Fire Assessment Fee Mr. David T. Harden, City Manager, presented this item stating this would keep our options open if we were to decide at a later date to do a fire assessment. The option that would be kept open is the ability to allow it to go on the tax bill versus requiring us to bill it separately. He stated this would be the best course of action and the timing works out very well for budget. the amount would have to be decided prior to July 28, 2012. Mr. Harden recommend going into the agreement. He stated the agreement does not commit the Commission to doing anything. Mr. Frankel stated no questions and he is for it. Mr. Carney stated we always need to keep our options open and feels Commission has made it very clear regarding a fire assessment fee as an add on. Mr. Jacquet stated he had no comment. Mayor McDuffie stated it is appropriate do this and he thinks we will see another down in property values. He discussed budget cuts. The City Manager commented that we are faced with an approximately $1,350,000 million increase in pension costs; and health insurance is up and instead of splitting it with employees the city needs to absorb some of that. In addition, Mr. Harden stated property and casualty and liability insurance costs will increase significantly as well as cost increases we have no control over. Mayor McDuffie mentioned the cost of economic development incentives. The City Manager stated the incentives will need to be budgeted. 2 April 10, 2012 2. Discussion on the Possible Privatization of Code Enforcement Officer Position Mr. Harden stated some of the commissioners inquired about this specifically the position that was created and staff has researched this. Mrs. Lula Butler, Community Improvement Director and Mr. Bruce Koeser, Human Resources Director presented this item. Mr. Koeser provided an overview regarding what to consider regarding privatization and Mrs. Butler reviewed the organization of the Code Enforcement Division via PowerPoint highlighting how it works internally and the community oriented approach for handling code enforcement issues. Mr. Jacquet stated he had no comment. Mr. Carney stated he agrees that segmenting a portion of the system will be more expensive per capita. He stated he reviewed the Pompano Beach contract and asked if pension costs were included in the personnel costs presented. Mrs. Butler stated it includes pension costs. Mr. Carney mentioned the individual contact with the residents and stated that there are some suggestions that we could save money by outsourcing and thinks this is a broader brush than code enforcement. He stated he thinks there are savings to be had and suggested a thorough look be taken at the entire process. Mr. Frankel stated the current level of service that code enforcement provides has to be taken into consideration and he does not know that if you privatize it, you will get the same level of service. He is not in favor of the proposal of privatizing any part of code enforcement. Mr. Harden discussed the costs for code enforcement. Mayor McDuffie stated if there is a dramatic savings in cost, then privatization should be considered. However, we cannot buy institutional knowledge and he referenced the interaction with the community. He stated it is hard to extract services because they are so tightly entwined. He stated he is not against outsourcing but does not think it makes sense for us at the moment. Mr. Carney stated every single area of what the city does needs to be reviewed to see if it can be done as efficiently by outsourcing which puts less pressure on pension systems and tax payers. 3. Presentation on Proposed Changes to the 4th of July/On the Avenue Special Events Mr. Barcinski stated the thought process for this was to hold On the Avenue the Thursday before July 4th, changes in location and why; and where the fireworks would be take place due to issues and costs, etc. He stated the BPOA Board did not support this concept. Ms. Sarah Martin will discuss the proposed move of “On The Avenue” to July 3, 2012 from the Central Business District to the intersection of A-1-A and Atlantic. Ms. Martin discussed the changes in location and setup regarding On The Avenue. She stated by changing it to this date it encourages visitors to book longer hotel stays so the hotels and merchants support this. She stated the new setup for both On the Avenue and July 4th will be significantly smaller than the former On the Avenue setup and July 4th setup in regards to the barge and docking costs. Therefore, it will result in a cost savings. She discussed the traffic routes, road closings and the two locations for fireworks. She stated with these changes the approximate savings will be $29,000. Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Ms. Martin this morning and his concern is safety and that the city is not held liable for some catastrophe. At this point, Ms. Martin passed out a hold harmless agreement. He stated he has no problem with the changes. 3 April 10, 2012 Mr. Carney stated this saves money however; he does not want to disregard the Beach Property Owners Association (BPOA) concerns; and spoke regarding the road closings. Mr. Jacquet stated he is concerned with the costs. He asked will this result in savings for the city. He stated he is also concerned about the road closings for two days. Mr. Jacquet stated he wants people to know which routes to take and wants to meet with Ms. Martin to get a better understanding of this. Ms. Martin stated the Delray Marketing Cooperative (DMC) communicates effectively with hoteliers regarding maps/routes and can do this for the residents. Mayor McDuffie mentioned the fast cleanup of the city that takes place after events. He stated he does not feel the routes will impose hardships. Mr. Barcinski stated on July 3, 2012 the music will end at 10:00 p.m. Ms. Martin stated she would like to extend the Beer Garden as a fundraising opportunity for the BPOA. Mr. Barcinski thanked all of the staff involved with this event. Mayor McDuffie asked that Commission be provided updates periodically regarding the July 3rd and July 4th events. Mr. Carney asked that the DMC address the BPOA traffic issue. Mayor McDuffie stated this is a great idea and far better and more controllable plan. Mayor McDuffie adjourned the Workshop Meeting at 7:09 p.m. ________________________________ City Clerk ATTEST: MAYOR The undersigned is the City Clerk of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, and the information provided herein is the Minutes of the Workshop Meeting of the City Commission held on Tuesday, April 10, 2012, which Minutes were formally approved and adopted by the City Commission on April 17, 2012. 4 April 10, 2012 ________________________________ City Clerk NOTE TO READER: If the Minutes you have received are not completed as indicated above, this means they are not the official Minutes of the City Commission.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Sharon L'Herrou, Administrative Officer Anthony Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: April 5, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.F. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 GRANT APPLICATION/EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (JAG) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests Commission approval of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant application (JAG-12) in the amount of $42,212. If awarded, these funds will assist in funding police overtime for the annual Holiday Robbery Task force. BACKGROUND The Holiday Robbery Task Force has been in operation since 1997 and runs annually from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day to provide saturation of patrol units in all shopping centers within the City and for First Night. This patrol effort has reduced crime during the holiday season. This is a renewal of a grant we have received for the last several years. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is provided through the U.S. Department of Justice's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. There is no match requirement. RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval of the grant application. 1 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program 2012 Local/Annual – CFDA#16.738 Delray Beach Police Department Program Narrative Attachment #1 DRAFT The Delray Beach Police Department’s Holiday Robbery Task Force has been operational since 1997. This Task Force runs annually from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve and provides a saturation of patrol units in all shopping centers within the City of Delray Beach. The Police Department provides high profile visibility, utilizing approximately 100 different officers throughout the holiday season. During the course of the program in 2011, over one thousand, three hundred hours were dedicated to this project. The Holiday Robbery Task Force serves as an important deterrent, reducing the number of serious crimes during the Holiday Season when crimes of opportunity tend to increase. In addition, the presence of officers is expected to make citizens and visitors feel more secure. If a crime should occur, officers are on site and available to intervene. During the 2012 holiday season, we expect the Holiday Robbery Task Force to be deployed in the following commercial areas: Delray Crossings Plaza (with the anchor store of Target, Outback and Steak-n-Shake restaurants), Super Walmart, Delray Square, Boca/Delray Plaza, Delray West Plaza, Pines West Plaza, Plaza Delray (with the anchor stores of Publix Supermarket, Regal Cinemas, and Staples), and the Downtown Delray Beach business/art district with specialty shopping and restaurants (inclusive of Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to the Intracoastal Coastal Waterway). The projected cost 2 to continue the Holiday Robbery Task Force for 2012 is anticipated to remain on par with the prior year and the number of needed officers for this project will remain approximately the same. Last year’s total cost was $62,389.74, with $53,503 funded through the FY 2011 JAG and the remainder being funded by the City. For the upcoming 12/13 fiscal year, we are requesting the full JAG allocation of $42,212 go towards funding this important program. All additional program costs, including other benefits, will be funded by the City. Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program 2012 Local/Annual – CFDA#16.738 Delray Beach Police Department Budget and Budget Narrative Attachment #2 Budget Narrative: In order to support the Department’s deployment plan for the Holiday Robbery Task Force, we are requesting funding for the cost of overtime for officers who will be deployed in the targeted areas. These officers will provide high visibility patrols and serve as a crime deterrent. In addition, the presence of officers is expected to make citizens and visitors feel more secure. If a crime should occur, officers are on site and available to intervene. We anticipate the program’s cost to be on par with the prior year’s cost, with the number of officers needed for this project remaining approximately the same. We are requesting the full allocation of $42,212 to support this program. Of that, $39,212 would directly fund overtime costs and $3,000 would support the cost of FICA.

Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: April 11, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.J.2 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 CONTRACT AWARD/SPECIAL PRODUCTS GROUP (SPG) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests approval of a contract with Special Products Group (SPG) for uniform procurement for Police Department personnel. Prices will be “piggy-backed” from the attached contract with the City of Boynton Beach. Purchases will also be made through a SPG contract with the City of Melbourne if it provides better pricing. BACKGROUND After a significant amount of research and communication with various stake holders, the Police Department has decided to convert to a new style of uniforms. One reason behind this change was the decision to adopt a mandatory wear policy for bullet proof vests. The health and safety benefits of this position are obvious. The new policy also allows us to be eligible for grant dollars we would not be able to access otherwise. In order to make the mandatory wear policy practical, however, it was necessary to explore different options for uniforms. Our Department will be adopting a vest that is worn over the shirts (as opposed the current vests which are worn under the shirt). This switch offers many benefits to the employees, including less back strain and easier access to equipment. It is a style already adopted by many Police Departments in the area. Several cost saving factors were built into this proposal. The Department currently has three classes of uniforms. One of those (the class “C” which is used as a utility uniform and an alternative to the class “B”) will be eliminated. We will no longer be providing jackets but have opted for lower cost sweatshirts instead. The new class “B” uniform will be less expensive than the current one. We will be consolidating vendors and vests so that bullet proof vests will be standardized and purchased from the same vendor. The new uniform purchases will be staggered over two years and will correspond with the replacement of bullet proof vests which is already scheduled. SPG was previously approved to provide uniforms for the Delray Beach Fire Department and is also a vendor used by this Department. We have found them to consistently provide a high quality product at a competitive price. Costs are projected to be $84,400 for FY 11/12. Funds will come from the current year’s budget (from the uniform funding already allocated as well as equipment purchases which will be deferred or where cost savings was realized). Costs for the FY 12/13 are projected to be $85,000 and are being requested as part of our uniform needs in the upcoming budget (projections attached). Included in these figures are replacements of standard and dress uniforms on an as-needed basis. Prices are from the attached contract with Boynton Beach. Also attached is an explanation of the “balance of line” clause. The price estimates above are based on the City of Boynton Beach contract with SPG which includes a 25% discount for "balance of line" items. In November 2011, the Commission approved for Fire Department uniforms to be purchased from SPG through a contract with the City of Melbourne which included a 30% discount for "balance of line" items. The Police Department uniform purchases will be made from the agreement (either Boynton Beach or Melbourne) that provides the better pricing which could reduce costs further. FUNDING SOURCE Funding will be provided from the following accounts: 001-2111-521-52.22, 001-2111-521-52.27, 001-2115-521-52.22, and 001-2115-521-52.27 RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval.

JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH: CITY MANAGER DATE: April 11, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 WAIVER REQUEST/9 N.E. 2ND AVENUE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a waiver request to the lower level frontage and setback requirements for 9 NE 2nd Avenue. This waiver would allow 33% frontage at a maximum setback of 10 ft. along N.E. 2 ndAvenue where 70%-90% frontage is required pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1). BACKGROUND Waiver Requests LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) Findings: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body must make a finding that granting the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Ground Level Setback and Frontage Requirements: A waiver has been requested to allow 33% frontage along NE 2nd Avenue at a maximum setback of 10’ rather than the 70%-90%frontage required, pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4) (c)(1). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), a minimum of 70% and a maximum of 90% of the building frontage shall be set back no greater than ten feet (10’) from the property line for buildings up to twenty-five feet (25’) in height. The remaining length of the building shall be setback a minimum of fifteen feet (15’). The applicant has provided the following justification statement regarding the waiver request: “The existing structure has approximately forty-nine feet (49’) of building frontage. Therefore, a minimum of approximately 34’ and a maximum of approximately 44’ of the building frontage is required to be set back no greater than ten feet (10’) from the property line. The proposed building design of the Property seeks to demolish approximately thirty-three feet (33’) of existing building frontage, which is currently set back only four feet (4’) from the property line, and rebuild and relocate it ten feet (10’) further into the space. The new setback from the property line would be fourteen feet (14’). Stated otherwise, approximately 67% of the building frontage would be setback more than 10’ from the property line...The entire roof, columns and structural supports are to remain and will not be moved. The existing non-load bearing glass storefront will be replaced with a folding impact glass storefront. The building footprint (generally understood to mean the horizon projected area of the built structure from the roof down to the ground level) is not changing. This is comparable to many other restaurants in the CBD/downtown area with similar elevations and which design element is intended to provide a location for a desired covered outdoor dining area...Waivers were not required in those instances for reasons the applicant is unaware.” The Central Business District requires all buildings to be placed in close proximity to rights of way, to encourage pedestrian access and to foster a uniform streetscape along major thoroughfares. The code encourages a maximum setback of ten feet (10’). It is important for the applicant to recognize the need to pull the building mass closer to the street and create an attractive pedestrian friendly area in the front. However, given the design of the floor plan layout, which includes a covered outdoor bar and dining area, the entrance will continue to look inviting to passing pedestrians. The waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(b)(1) does not affect the neighboring areas or create an unsafe situation. Granting of the requested waiver will not diminish the provision of public facilities or result in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) in the reduction of the required setback along NE 2ndAvenue. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Site Plan Review and Appearance Board reviewed the waiver request at their meeting of March 14, 2012 in conjunction with the Class III Site Plan modification approval. By a vote of 4-0, SPRAB recommended approval to the requested waiver of LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), Minimum Ground Level Building Setback and Frontage. A detailed description and analysis of the development proposal is contained within the attached Site Plan Review and Appearance Board staff report of March 14, 2012. RECOMMENDATION Approve the waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), to reduce the required ground floor setback and frontage from 70%-90% at a maximum of ten feet (10’) to 33% alongNE 2nd Avenue, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 9 NE 2nd Avenue 1. This waiver request came before the City Commission on April 17, 2012. 2. The Applicant and City staff presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertaining to the waiver request for 9 NE 2nd Avenue. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. Required findings are made in accordance with Subsection I. I. WAIVERS: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. A. Waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1) Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), a minimum of 70% and a maximum of 90% of the building frontage shall be set back to no greater than ten feet (10’) from the property line for buildings up to twenty-five feet (25’) in height. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow 33% of the building frontage at NE 2nd Avenue to be set back at a maximum of ten feet (10’). Under the proposed design, 67% of the frontage of the modified structure will be set back more than 10 feet (10’) from the property line. Should the waiver be granted? Yes ______ No _______ 3.

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: April 12, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.B. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 REMOVE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO THE CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/MILAGRO CENTER ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is removal of a condition of approval which required a letter of acknowledgement from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation that they agree that amenities required for Villages of Delray multifamily development could be utilized by the Milagro Child Care use. BACKGROUND The conditional use for the Milagro Child Care facility was approved by City Commission on July 5, 2011 and the related Site Plan was approved on October 12, 2011 by SPRAB. Both of these approvals were granted subject to several conditions of approval, including the requirement that a letter from the Florida Housing Financial Corporation be obtained acknowledging acceptance of the Milagros child care facility occupying amenities constructed for the residents of Villages of Delray. The applicant has addressed all conditions of approval except this requirement and Milagro is now requesting it be removed citing, in part, timing concerns in obtaining such a letter. The child care center will occupy residential amenities initially approved by SPRAB for the Village of Delray multifamily residential development including the clubhouse and surrounding playground and tot lot areas. These same amenities are also identified as required amenities for these residents both in the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Land Use Restriction Agreement (see attached) and the Credit Underwriting Report (see attached) for this development. Given these factors it is prudent to verify that the proposed arrangement is acceptable with FHFC to avoid any potential future issues that could stem from this city commission approval action. Further, this confirmation appears to be required regardless of the City Commission condition pursuant to Sections 4a and 4c (pages 16 and 17) of the attached Land Use Restriction Agreement. These sections require approval by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for the leasing of any part of the development buildings. While it is acknowledged that timing is now becoming an issue, this condition has been in place for 9 months (since July 5, 2011) and to our knowledge there has been no attempt to obtain the required confirmation. RECOMMENDATION Recommend denial of the request to remove the aforementioned condition of approval associated with the Conditional Use for Milagro Child Care center. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A PRIVATE CHILD CARE FACILITY FOR THE MILAGRO CENTER AT 675 AUBURN AVENUE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1. This request for an amendment to the conditions of approval as set forth in Exhibit “A” of the Final Order granting the conditional use request of the Milagro Center which was decided by the Commission July 5, 2011 and attached hereto as Exhibit “1” has come before the City Commission on April 17, 2012. 2. The City staff, applicant, and other persons have presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertaining to the request for amendment of the conditions of approval for the conditional use of the Milagro Center. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. Required findings have previously been made in accordance with Sections I and II of the original Commission Order dated July 5, 2011. I. Condition requested to be removed: 6. That if any of the amenities required by the Credit Underwriting Report or conditioned in the Land Use Restriction Agreement are included in this request then a letter acknowledging acceptance of this arrangement will be required from the FHFC. Should the Amendment to the Conditions of Approval to remove item number 6. be granted? Yes ________ No_________ 3. The City Commission has applied the Comprehensive Plan and LDR requirements in existence at the time the amendment request to the conditions of approval for the conditional use application was submitted. 4. The City Commission finds there is ample and competent substantial evidence to support its findings in the record submitted and adopts the facts contained in the record including but not limited to the staff reports and testimony of witnesses supporting these findings. 5. Based on the entire record before it, the City Commission approves ___ denies ___ the request for amendment to the conditions of approval as set forth in Exhibit “A” of the Final Order granting the conditional use application and hereby adopts this Order this ___ day of April, 2012, by a vote of _____ in favor and ____ opposed. ________________________________ Nelson S. McDuffie, Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Chevelle Nubin City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Estelio Breto, Senior Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: June 29, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 5, 2011 CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/MILAGRO CENTER ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a Conditional Use request to establish a private child care facility known as the Milagro Center. The child care facility will operate within a portion of the existing 7,500 sq. ft. club house of the Village at Delray multiple family residential development. BACKGROUND Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(D)(1), within the RM (Multiple Family Residential) zoning district, child care facilities are allowed as a Conditional Use. The subject property is located at 675 Auburn Avenue, which is on east side of Auburn Avenue. The Milagro Center intends to operate after school from 2:15 to 6:00 pm, Monday-Friday. The Milagro Center also will serve children from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on non-school days, including the summer months to keep the children off the streets. The Milagro Center staffs 5 full time employees and one part time employee for approximately 43 K-5th grade children. The child care center will occupy the residential amenities initially approved by SPRAB within the clubhouse for Village at Delray multiple family residential development. These include the multiple purpose area and large kitchen and café area, outside play areas around the pool and support pool facilities like restrooms. All of these enhanced recreational components were provided for the residents to justify the increase in density to 18 units per acre for this development. While the applicant has attempted to mitigate the losses in internal recreational components it is at a much reduced level. [Clubhouse amenities originally approved at 2,517 sq. ft. now reduced to 529 sq. ft. (79% reduction in size)]. In addition, the newly relocated diminished multipurpose area will operate in an area with difficult access as the residents will have to go through the reception, vestibule, leasing conference room before they actually reach the new multiple purpose area. Further other LDR compliance issues are raised in the staff report including an inadequate drop-off area. Coversheet Page 1 of 3 http://itwebapp/AgendaIntranet/Bluesheet.aspx?ItemID=4628&MeetingID=322 4/13/2012 As this proposal will negatively impact the clubhouse amenities and adjacent outside play areas approved as part of the recreational component of the residential development to justify an increased in density, positive findings cannot be made with respect to Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations more particularly LDR Section 4.4.6(H)(3) Recreational Amenities. At its meeting of June 20, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with the conditional use request for the Milagro Center. Presentations were made by staff and the applicant. While the Planning and Zoning Board was concerned over the utilization of community recreational amenities by a private entity the applicant’s attorney indicated the facility would continue to be available for residents when the Milagro Center was not open. With that assurance and after a lengthy discussion, the Board moved a recommendation of approval of the conditional use request for the Milagro Center on a vote of 4-2, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report. A detailed description and analysis of the proposal is contained within the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff reports of June 20, 2011. While the applicant's assurance of additional residential access to the facility addressed part of staff concerns, these facilities will not be available for the residents they were intended for significant periods particularly during the high use months in the summer. Further we are skeptical that the facilities once set up with office equipment, child care play areas, and other activity areas associated with the Milagro Center actually will be open to the residential community given legitimate safety and security concerns. RECOMMENDATION Move a recommendation of denial to the Conditional Use request to locate and establish a child care facility The Milagro Center within the Village at Delray Club House, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in Chapter 3.1.1, Compliance with the Land Development Regulations, LDR Section 4.4.6(H)(3) Recreational Amenities, and LDR Section 4.3.3(E) (4) Loading and Drop-off Area. In the event that the City Commission approves the Conditional Use request for The Milagro Center, staff recommends that it should be done subject to the following condition: 1. A letter from the Palm Beach County Traffic Division indicating that the project meets the traffic concurrency standards of Palm Beach County is required; 2. That the maximum capacity of the child care facility be limited to a total of 43 students; 3. That the applicant obtains acknowledgement from the Health Department that the facility can operate as a shared facility (as advanced by the applicant’s attorney), and that all recreational components both internal and external that are part of the conditional use request remain available for utilization by the residential development's residents during times the Milagro Center is closed; 4. That the applicant provides a copy of the Credit Underwriting Report issued and approved by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) listing those specific amenities within the clubhouse and/or the Village at Delray development that were required to be for the RESIDENTS ONLY; 5. That the applicant provides a copy of the Land Use Restriction Agreement between the FHFC and Auburn Corporation which was recorded as a deed restriction against the Village at Delray Development outlining what amenities are required for the use of RESIDENTS ONLY; and 6. That if any of the amenities required by the Credit Underwriting Report or conditioned in the Land Use Restriction Agreement are included in this request then a letter acknowledging Coversheet Page 2 of 3 http://itwebapp/AgendaIntranet/Blueshee t.aspx?ItemID=4628&MeetingID=322 4/13/2012 acceptance of this arrangement will be required from the FHFC.

Hasko, Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: April 3, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.C. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 CHANGE ORDER NO. 3/BRANG CONSTRUCTION, INC./ARRA BUS SHELTERS P/N 2009-055 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to approve Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $14,594.54 to Brang Construction, Inc. for the purchase of sixteen (16) bus shelter benches, and installation of fifteen benches; as requested by Palm Tran; plus a contract time extension of 130 days; for the ARRA Bus Shelters Project #2009-055. BACKGROUND On February 1, 2011, the Commission awarded a Contract to Brang Construction, Inc. to install 23 bus shelters throughout the City. The project is funded through an ARRA grant received by Palm Tran. On July 5, 2011, the City Manager approved an amount of $11,166.70, to be paid out of the contract's Contingency Allowance, for the cost of additional work required to comply with ADA requirements per Palm Tran. On September 20, 2011, Commission approved Change Order No. 1 (CO#1) to Brang Construction, Inc. for a contract time extension of fourteen (14) days. In addition, Commission approved an additional amount of $1,548.30 to be paid out of the contract's Contingency Allowance for additional excavation and flatwork required at Bus Stop #8 (located on Old Germantown Road, west of Homewood Boulevard), to meet ADA requirements. This amount was previously excluded in the total additional cost amount by Brang. On December 13, 2011, Commission approved a Contract Addition (CO #2) for the purchase and installation of one (1) additional bus shelter at SW 10th Street; which was requested by Palm Tran; and a contract time extension of 208 days to accommodate manufacturing and delivery time. Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $14,594.54, is for the purchase of 16 bus shelter benches; and the installation of 15 of the benches; one bench is to accompany a bus shelter that is currently on order, but not yet received. The benches will replace the bus shelter benches located in Palm Beach County DOT rights-of-way; per Palm Tran's punch list on the ARRA Bus Shelters Project. CO #3 also includes a contract time extension of 130 days. Exhibit "A' to CO #3 is attached with additional details. The City designed the project with benches similar to those previously installed in the City, and as illustrated in Palm Tran's documents. During final inspections, Palm Tran rejected all (23) installed benches; as their standards had been updated. Through discussion between the City and Palm Tran, it was agreed that the benches in the City right-of-way could remain as installed; but the 15 benches in the State and County right-of-way, as well as all future benches, must adhere to the new Palm Tran standard. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 101-3163-544-65.70 (ARRA Economic Stimulus Fund/Other Improvements/Transit Stop Bus Shelters). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $14,594.54 to Brang Construction, Inc. for the purchase of sixteen (16) bus shelter benches, and installation of 15 benches; as requested by Palm Tran; plus a contract time extension of 130 days; for the ARRA Bus Shelters Project. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: April 9, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.D. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 APPOINTMENT TO THE PUBLIC ART ADVISORY BOARD ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the City Commission for an appointment to the Public Art Advisory Board. BACKGROUND Mr. Jonathan Jonas, regular member on the Public Art Advisory Board, submitted his resignation effective immediately. An appointment is needed for one (1) regular member to serve an unexpired term ending July 31, 2013. On February 1, 2005, the Delray Beach City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 77-04 establishing the Public Art Advisory Board for the purpose of advising and making recommendations to the City Commission with respect to public art policy and related issues including, but not limited to, the selection, construction and placement of public art in/on City right-of-way and City owned property.

Harden, City Manager DATE: April 9, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 14-12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This ordinance is before Commission for second reading and a quasi-judicial hearing for a privatelyinitiated small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning for the proposed 10th & 10th Center, located at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and 10th Avenue. The small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment consists of a Future Land Use Map change from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated Text Amendment modifying the description of the Transitional Land Use designation within the Future Land Use Element to restrict the use on the property to nonresidential development at a maximum FAR of 0.25. The associated rezoning will change the property from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial). BACKGROUND The subject property is located at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and SW 10th Avenue, and is approximately 1.49 acres in size. This property and the surrounding area are located within the Wallace Drive Industrial Area, which is subject to the “Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan”, adopted by the City Commission on January 6, 2004. The Plan encourages the development of light industrial, limited commercial and office uses in an urban setting. The Plan recommended a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for the subject property from Redevelopment Area #2 (RDA-2) to Commerce (CMR) and from Single-Family Residential (R-1-A) to Light Industrial (LI), respectively. The recommended FLUM amendment and rezoning were approved by the City Commission on January 6, 2004. The requested Future Land Use Map amendment from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and rezoning from Light Industrial (LI) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) is to allow development of a neighborhood commercial center at this location. The applicant’s justification for these modifications is that there have been changes in industrial market conditions since adoption of the Wallace Drive Plan in 2004 which make additional industrial development impractical; and that there has been an increase in residential development in the immediate area that has resulted in increased demand for neighborhood retail and services uses. Staff agrees that there have been changes in industrial market conditions since 2004 and that this is the result of the current economic downturn. Staff does not agree that the current economic conditions represent a necessity to change long-range future land use provisions for the City. There was no timeline associated with the redevelopment effort given in the Redevelopment Plan. Redevelopment will not occur until opportunities arise on individual properties and market conditions support those opportunities. The City only has 374 acres of land within the Industrial Land Use categories of IND (Industrial) and CMR (Commerce). This represent only 3.7% of the City’s developable land area. The applicant’s justification statement included data that the City of Boca Raton reduced its light industrial land use by 25% between 1989 and 2005. It is significant to note that Boca Raton’s 2005 figure of 6.45% is still 75% higher than the City’s 3.7% figure. It is also important to note that the City reduced the amount of industrial land use in 2006 with creation of the MROC zoning district along the Congress Avenue corridor. This new zoning district eliminated industrial zoning in favor of a mixed residential, office and commercial zoning to encourage mixed use development with commercial or office on the ground floor and residential above utilizing new urbanism design elements. Staff’s position is supported by the Palm Beach County Light Industrial Land Use Study “Whitepaper” and “Land Use Toolkit”, prepared by Swiger Consulting in December 2007, which recommends the retention of Industrial properties. Further reduction of the City’s industrial base is unwarranted at this time and should be discouraged. The current Future Land Use Map designation of Commerce, along with the existing Light Industrial zoning is flexible enough to allow considerable development opportunities for the subject property as the economy improves. The allowed principal uses include “research and development”; “Wholesaling, Storage and Distribution”; “Manufacturing and Assembly”; “Office”; and “Repair”. It also allows limited retail for items processed on the premises. In terms of increased demand from the additional residential development in the area, staff notes that while more than 445 additional residential multifamily units have been approved and some of the units built within the area north of SW 10th Street, this area was zoned for multiple family development prior to adoption of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan in 2004. In terms of long-range planning, the construction of these anticipated units does not really represent a change in circumstances. The applicant’s property is located 0.45 miles from the Villages at Delray/Village Square developments. The convenience shopping needs of these residents are currently being met by two convenience stores --the ABC Mini Mart, located at the southwest corner of SW 10th Street and SW 10th Avenue and the Valero gas station/convenience store, located in the Sherwood Park Plaza at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and Congress Avenue. Sherwood Park Plaza is the closest neighborhood service/retail shopping center, and is the same distance away from the new residential units as the subject property. At one time, this center even had a Dollar General Store, but it has since been closed. Over 7,000 square feet of space is currently vacant at this center. Major shopping/services are also available on Linton Boulevard at Linton Square Plaza, 0.9 miles away, Linton Center, 1.2 miles away, and The Plaza at Delray, 1.8 miles away. Finally, downtown Delray Beach, with a wide range of specialty shops, is 1.7 miles away. For the reasons outlined above, staff feels that the changed conditions are not sufficient to warrant approval of the proposed FLUM modification, which will reduce the amount of land in the Commerce FLUM designation. This reduction is in direct conflict with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.3, which says that such reductions should be discouraged. The applicant’s proposal also includes an associated text amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan modifying the description of the Transitional Future Land Use Map designation to limit development of the subject property to nonresidential uses at a maximum FAR (Floor Area Ratio) of 0.25. This text amendment will reduce the maximum potential traffic impact of a 100% retail development to a level less than or equal to that which could be realized by a mixed office/retail development under the existing Commerce FLUM designation at its maximum FAR of 0.60. A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 is currently permitted for nonresidential uses in the Transitional designation. If the FLUM amendment and rezoning are supported by the City Commission, then the text amendment should also be supported. Since the proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning are not consistent with recommendations in the adopted Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan, the applicant is seeking a concurrent amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to address the conflicts. This modification, which is being processed concurrently, is a sub-item to this agenda item on the April 17, 2012 Regular Commission Meeting agenda. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of March 19, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing associated with the small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment, including a Future Land Use Map amendment from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated text amendment; rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial); and modification of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan. Staff presented its analysis of the applicant’s justification for the proposed changes and recommended denial based on a failure to make positive findings related to “Demonstration of Need” and consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Note: the complete analysis of applicant’s justification is included in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. The applicant made a presentation in support of the changes and stated that there is not a current market for light industrial development; that the future market for the light industrial development will be limited; and that this is the “right place-right time” for a neighborhood commercial development at the proposed location. Several members of the public spoke on this agenda item—both in favor of and in opposition to the proposed changes. After a discussion, the Board recommended approval of the proposal on a 7-0 vote. The City Commission passed Ordinance No. 14-12 on first reading at the April 3, 2012 Regular Meeting in order to move the item forward for seond reading and a public hearing. RECOMMENDATION Although the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval, staff recommends that the City Commission deny Ordinance No. 14-12 on second reading for a small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment, including a Future Land Use Map amendment from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated text amendment, and rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) for the subject property, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval thereof is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and does not meet the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(D)(5) and 3.1.1 of the Land Development Regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the recitations set forth above are incorporated herein. Section 2. That the Future Land Use Map designation of the subject property is hereby officially affixed as TRN (Transitional). Section 3. That the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, hereby declares its intent to exercise the authority granted pursuant to the provisions of Florida Statutes Sections 163.3161 through 163.3248, inclusive, known as the "Community Planning Act." Section 4. That the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, City of Delray Beach, Florida, be and the same is hereby amended, by amending the description of the Transitional Land Use designation to read as follows: TRANSITIONAL LAND USES: This designation is applied to land which is developed, or is to be developed, for either residential or nonresidential uses, except when applied to property within the Wallace Drive Overlay District, in which case this designation will be limited to only nonresidential uses. In some instances this designation provides for a transition between less intensive residential use and commercial uses. In other instances, this designation allows the establishment of uses which are compatible with adjacent residential use. When Neighborhood Commercial Zoning is placed within or adjacent to a residential area, such zoning shall be limited to two acres, or less, which is sufficient to accommodate the needs of an immediate residential neighborhood. While in others, it provides for uses which are not as intensive as general commercial in areas where residential use is not desirable and/or appropriate. 3 ORD NO. 14-12 Residential development at a density between five and twelve units per acre, mobile home parks and apartment development in addition to condominiums, Continuing Care Facilities, A.C.L.F., and various types of group homes are appropriate under this designation. Areas with this designation, located within a workforce housing overlay district, may exceed 12 units per acre up to a maximum of 24 units per acre within the Carver Estates Overlay District and 18 units per acre within the infill workforce housing area, by obtaining density bonuses through the provision of workforce housing units.

BACKGROUND The Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan creates the framework for the future redevelopment of an area which was originally identified as Redevelopment Area #2 in the City’s 1989 Comprehensive Plan. The Redevelopment Area is bordered by SW 10th Street on the north; Milfred Street on the south; SW 9th Avenue on the east; and Tangelo Terrace on the west. Two-thirds of the area is located west of Wallace Drive, which bisects the area, running diagonally from northeast to southwest. The area was annexed into the City via the Enclave Act (Enclave #31A), on June 28, 1988. By this time, under County jurisdiction, the area had evolved into a mix of incompatible land uses with limited public infrastructure and little or no code enforcement. As a result, most of the area had deteriorated to a point where private investment had virtually stopped. The Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission on January 6, 2004. Recommendations in the Plan on Future Land Use Map designations and zoning for the area were initiated and adopted the same day. The Future Land Use Map designation for the area east of Wallace Drive/SW 10th Avenue, which includes the applicant’s property, was changed to CMR (Commerce) and the area was rezoned to LI (Light Industrial). It was the intent of the Plan to make the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Area a unique place that would encourage the development of light industrial, limited commercial and office uses in an urban setting. This would, in turn, serve as a catalyst to increase property values and increase the City’s employment base in the industrial, manufacturing and trade sectors. The applicant wishes to develop a neighborhood commercial center, including a Dollar type store at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and SW 10th Avenue. To support the proposed use, the applicant is seeking a Future Land Use Map amendment from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial). These changes are not consistent with recommendations in the adopted Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan. Since the Comprehensive Plan mandates that all Future development must be in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, the applicant is seeking a concurrent amendment to the Redevelopment Plan to address the conflicts. A copy of the proposed Plan amendment is attached. The intent is not to incorporate the modifications directly into the existing sections of the Plan, since this would give the impression that the changes were always a part of the original Plan and would result in a loss of historic perspective. Instead, the proposal is to add a new “2012 Modifications” section to the Plan that will include updated recommendations for amendments to the Future Land Use Map, Zoning Map and Land Development Regulations, as well as a description of changes in conditions since 2004 that the applicant percieves as making these modifications necessary. To maintain continuity, it will also be necessary to reference this new Section in the existing “Executive Summary” and “Implementation” Sections of the Plan. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of March 19, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the proposed amendment of the Redevelopment Plan. In its presentation of the concurrent small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning, staff presented an analysis of the applicant’s justification for the proposed changes and recommended that the Board move a recommendation of denial based on a failure to make positive findings related to “Demonstration of Need” and consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Based on this analysis, staff feels that the changed conditions are not sufficient to warrant approval of the proposed FLUM modification, which will reduce the amount of land in the Commerce FLUM designation. This reduction is in direct conflict with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.3, which states that such reductions should be discouraged. The amendment of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan is necessary to support the concurrent smallscale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning if they are to be adopted. Since the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval those actions, it also recommended approval of the amendment of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan on a 7-0 vote. RECOMMENDATION Although the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval, staff recommends that the City Commission deny the proposed amendment to the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the amendment and approval thereof is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. (motion to be stated in the affirmative). 2 March 15, 2012 Should the above-described Charter Amendment be adopted? “For Approval” 1,236 “Against Approval” 2,080 Approve the total votes for Ballot Question No. 1, and that it is hereby declared, based upon the above and foregoing results that Ballot Question One was not approved .

Mr. Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Serv ices, presented this item. He stated at the January 17, 2012 Regular Meeting, Commission approv ed the JPA and that the resolution is also a requirement of DOT for this application and sta ff needs to get it approved to proceed with the agreement.

SETTLEMENT CONTRIBUTION/PALM BEACH COUNTY/INSPECTOR GENERAL: Approve a settlement contribution regarding the lawsuit filed by fifteen municipalities, including the City, against Palm Beach County related to the funding for the Inspector General. Mr. Brian Shutt, City Attorney, stated this item is regarding the lawsuit with Palm Beach County for the funding of the Inspector General and the county will have a possible ordinance going before the Palm Beach County Commission on March 20, 2012 that would make changes to the current ordinance. He asked if the City Commissi on wanted to contribute to fund the Inspector General for the year and a half that the Inspector General has been operating and has not received funds from the municipalit ies because of the lawsuit. He referenced the invoice in the agenda backup. He stated some municipalities have considered a third of the cost and some a quarter of the cots. Mrs. Gray asked what impact we will have if we wait and not contribute to fund the Inspector General. 3 March 15, 2012 Mr. Shutt discussed the settlement further. Mr. Frankel stated if everyone is paying he does not have a problem with it. He asked if we are in the middle of litigation and why would we send a check for over $30,000. He asked if the City Attorney had an idea of what other municipalities are going to do. Mr. Carney asked what happens if we do not agree to pay anything. Dr. Alperin reiterated that this is an offer of s ettlement and if the municipalities agree to it then, the lawsuit is over. Mr. Shutt stated the county may change their ordinance. Mayor McDuffie stated this is really not an offer of settlement; it is a good faith effort on behalf of the municipalities without a written offer of settlement. Dr. Alperin asked under what grounds they would ha ve the right to charge us for the service. He asked what the county’s response was. Discussion between Commission and staff continued. It was the consensus of the Commission to not pay. Mayor McDuffie adjourned the Special Meeting at 4:14 p.m. WORKSHOP MEETING AGENDA 1. Congress Avenue Corridor Strategic Ma rketing Plan and Citywide Economic Development Incentives Mr. Vin Nolan, Economic Development Director an d Mr. Richard Reade, Sustainability/Public Information Officer, introduced this item stating it is a two phased presentation.

He introduced Lisa Tropepe, Vice-Mayor of Palm Beach Shores and Pr esident of the Palm Beach County League of Cities. Mr. Nolan summarized the item and stated the city has to have its own internal plan; and he and Mr. Reade are working on the plan. Mr. Nolan gave an overview of existing economic conditions (Congress Avenue Corridor statisti cs) and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Economic Development Incentives. Mr. Reade discussed what other communities are doing regarding their various ec onomic development programs. Mr. Nolan highlighted citywide economic development goals and strategie s including non-fiscal strategies and recommendations. Dr. Alperin stated all of the changes would be easy to accomplish if it were designated a CRA district. He stated we do not need to reinvent the wheel again. Mr. Carney stated he spoke with Mr. Nolan severa l times and supports any initiative that will develop this corridor. He comment ed that this is a great effort. 4 March 15, 2012 Mrs. Gray stated she is excited about the whole program and is in suppor t of creating a whole new CRA with a sunset date. She stated we need to look into Commission serving as a CRA like in other cities. She asked about universities and hospitals as partners in this initiative. Mr. Frankel asked Mr. Nolan if he considers pa rking meters an economic development incentive and Mr. Nolan replied that each city has its issues with parking. Mayor McDuffie stated we cannot afford not to do this. Mr. Nolan stated he and Mr. Reade will be back before Commission with concrete plans. 2. Discussion of Possible Charter Review Committee Dr. Alperin opened this item and stated Commission has heard the discussion a few times and it has been over ten (10) years and he thinks a review should be done. He stated the committee should consist of 8-10 people with a chair and with a completion date. It should also have one (1) or two (2) public hearings. Mr. Frankel stated the committee should be an odd number with each commissioner appointing two each. He stated five each is too much. Mr. Harden explained how the committee was appointed in the past. Mr. Carney stated there should be diversity of thought and stated Commission should nominate and appoint a chair. Mrs. Gray asked what is being reviewed regarding the Charter: the whole thing or was there a specific issue. Dr. Alperin stated the whole Charter should be reviewed. Mr. Carney mentioned the roundtable and feels we should do a “Visions 20/20” to get a larger group involved. This is a great time to get some engagement. The City Manager mentioned the American Assembly process. He stated we will be approaching the Goal Setting process soon and suggested a citi zen summit be held since it has not been done in two years. It was the consensus of th e Commission to have a citizen summit. Discussion continued between staff and Commission. It was the consensus of the Commission to place the Charter Review Committee appointment on the March 20, 2012 agenda. 3. Discuss Changes to Special Eve nt Policies and Procedures Mr. Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated he is present to discuss changes to the policy and obtain direction. He discussed five recommendations regarding the Special Event Policies and Procedures. Dr. Alperin stated Commission should go item by item to discuss preferences. Mr. Carney asked why certain organizations were grandfathered in; and asked about the time length. Mr. Frankel asked why the city is absorbing any costs. 5 March 15, 2012 Dr. Alperin stated start with 5% per year for th ree years so that persons can get used to this. Mrs. Gray asked if we need an event planner. Mr. Barcinski stated he and his executive assistant spend about half of their time on events. Ms. Martin questioned the administrative fee. Mr. Barcinski stated we would charge an administrative fee for the overtime. Mr. Frankel stated he is fine with the proposal re garding deposits. He asked why the city is not paid before an event. Nancy Stewart stated paying up front would put them out of business. Mr. Mike Malone, Chamber of Commerce Execut ive Director, stated most businesses/event producers do not have the liquidity to pay up front. Mrs. Gray stated she does not feel we should eliminate co-sponsorships. Mayor McDuffie asked about the Chris Evert and Junior Tennis Tournament Sponsorships. Mr. Barcinski discussed contracts. Mayor McDuffie stated the two golf courses make a profit and our tennis stadium is shaky. He mentioned bidding for the Davis Cup, etc. Mr. Frankel mentioned the Tourist Development Council and grants. It was the consensus of the Commission to implem ent the changes to the Special Event Policies and Procedure as recommended by staff, and make the changes consistent with the budget year. 4. Provide Direction on Vale t Parking Program Options Mr. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialis t presented a PowerPoint presentation to the Commission. Mr. Aronson stated th at the objective was to evaluate the current valet parking program, get some of the parking study recomm endations equitable to the City, and provide options. He stated that the Parking Study sugge sted that the location of the valet queues, the creation of uniformity among the queues, public access awareness, and having signage on the queues that represented the sponsors/restaurants be re-evaluated. He suggested looking at other program options. He discussed several options like a fee based program throughout downtown, which could create financial value per parking sp ace; possibly an in-house operation to control the aspects of service; flat f ee management which would be co llected periodically or have a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) provided to lic ense each queue separately and then negotiate the fees with the qualified vendor. Mr. Aronson st ated that the current revenue from the valet queues is $63,000.00 a year, which included 40 sp aces west of the Intracoastal at $100.00 per space and two (2) valet queues east of the Intr acoastal at $125.00 per space. In addition, $19,200.00 per year is generated from 40 spaces leased in the Federspiel Garage at $40.00 per space/per month to Prime Steakhouse on S.E. 2 nd Avenue. There are part-time spaces from the 110 East Atlantic Building in the Federspiel Ga rage used in the evenings. With the current system, the City would receive $82,200.00 per year with some efforts. Mr. Frankel stated that he attended the Down town Development Authority (DDA) meeting and business owners discussed valet costs in the ot her municipalities. There should be a minimal increase in fees and valet queues should not be transferrable, queues should come back to the City, he does not want the consumer to suffer. 6 March 15, 2012 Mr. Harden advised that the language could be included in the agreement. Mrs. Gray stated that if there was a fee increase , it should be consistent from A1A to Atlantic Avenue. She is also in favor of three (3) year agreements. Mr. Carney stated the City should not run valet queues; our cost compared to other municipalities is very cheap. Dr. Alperin discussed the value of valet services to the City. He is interested in standardization so that everyone knows how many spaces they should have. Dr. Alperin asked if we have uniform requirements for the valet staff. He liked the idea of longer contracts, but there should be room for increases and other modifications. Mr. Aronson suggested a shirt with “Valet” on the back. Mrs. Gray discussed the congested traffic on S.E. 2 nd Avenue. Mayor McDuffie said he appreciated everything th at had been done. Stakeholders downtown are fine with the way the system works. Dr. Alperin asked if all contracts would expire this month. Brian Shutt, City Attorney, suggested that the termination clause in the contracts kept. 5. Discussion of On Stre et Parking Regulations Mr. Carney opened this item for discussion. He discussed the parking enforcement hours on East Atlantic Avenue (along Atlantic Avenue an d SR A1A). He stated he wanted to encourage not discourage people to go to the beach and the restaurants downtown. Mr. Harden stated this may be an ordinance change. It was the consensus of the Commission to enfor ce meters beginning at 9:30 a.m. to maintain two (2) hours limit and no enforcement before 9:30 a.m. all beach parking and Atlantic Avenue Monday through Thursday only. 6. Draft Proposals for Drainage Design Requirements Mr. Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services presented this item. He discussed proposed revisions to Land Development Re gulations (LDR) Section 2.4.3, “Submission Requirements” and Section 6.1.9, “D rainage Systems”, beforehand.

Discussion of proposed agreement with the Palm Beac h County Property Appraiser related to a Fire Assessment Fee Mr. David T. Harden, City Manager, presented this item stating this would keep our options open if we were to decide at a later date to do a fir e assessment. The option that would be kept open is the ability to allow it to go on the tax bi ll versus requiring us to bill it separately. He stated this would be the best course of action and the timing wo rks out very well for budget. the amount would have to be decided prior to July 28, 2012. Mr. Harden recommend going into the agreement. He stated the agreement does not commit the Commis sion to doing anything. Mr. Frankel stated no questions and he is for it. Mr. Carney stated we always need to keep our options open and feels Commission has made it very clear regarding a fire assessment fee as an add on. Mr. Jacquet stated he had no comment. Mayor McDuffie stated it is appropriate do this and he thinks we will see another down in property values. He discussed budget cuts. The City Manager commented that we are faced with an approximately $1,350,000 million increase in pension costs; and health insurance is u p and instead of splitting it with employees the city needs to absorb some of that. In addition, M r. Harden stated property and casualty and liability insurance costs will increase significant ly as well as cost increases we have no control over. Mayor McDuffie mentioned the cost of economic develop ment incentives. The City Manager stated the incentives will need to be budgeted. 2 April 10, 2012 2. Discussion on the Possible Privatization of Code Enforceme nt Officer Position Mr. Harden stated some of the commissioners inquired a bout this specifically the position that was created and staff has researched this. Mrs. Lula Butler, Community Improvement Director and Mr. Bruce Koeser, Human Resources Director prese nted this item. Mr. Koeser provided an overview regarding what to consider regarding privatiz ation and Mrs. Butler reviewed the organization of the Code Enforcement Division via P owerPoint highlighting how it works internally and the community oriented approach for handling c ode enforcement issues. Mr. Jacquet stated he had no comment. Mr. Carney stated he agrees that segmenting a porti on of the system will be more expensive per capita. He stated he reviewed the Pompano Beach cont ract and asked if pension costs were included in the personnel costs presented. Mrs. Butler stated it includes pension costs. Mr. Carney mentioned the individual contact with the r esidents and stated that there are some suggestions that we could save money by outsourcing and thinks this is a broader brush than code enforcement. He stated he thinks there are savi ngs to be had and suggested a thorough look be taken at the entire process. Mr. Frankel stated the current level of service that code enforcement provides has to be taken into consideration and he does not know that if you pr ivatize it, you will get the same level of service. He is not in favor of the proposal of privatizing any part of code enforcement. Mr. Harden discussed the costs for code enforcement. Mayor McDuffie stated if there is a dramatic savings in cost, then privatization should be considered. However, we cannot buy institutional know ledge and he referenced the interaction with the community. He stated it is hard to extract se rvices because they are so tightly entwined. He stated he is not against outsourcing but does not think it mak es sense for us at the moment. Mr. Carney stated every single area of what the cit y does needs to be reviewed to see if it can be done as efficiently by outsourcing which puts less pressure on pension systems and tax payers. 3. Presentation on Proposed Changes to the 4 th of July/On the Avenue Special Events Mr. Barcinski stated the thought process for this wa s to hold On the Avenue the Thursday before July 4 th , changes in location and why; and where the firewor ks would be take place due to issues and costs, etc. He stated the BPOA Board did not support this concept.

Ms. Martin discussed the changes in location and setup regarding On The Avenue. She stated by chang ing it to this date it encourages visitors to book longer hotel stays so the hotels and merchan ts support this. She stated the new setup for both On the Avenue and July 4 th will be significantly smaller than the former On t he Avenue setup and July 4 th setup in regards to the barge and docking costs. Ther efore, it will result in a cost savings. She discussed the traffic routes, road closings and the two locations for fireworks. She stated with these changes the approximate savings will be $29,000. Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Ms. Martin this mor ning and his concern is safety and that the city is not held liable for some catastrophe. At th is point, Ms. Martin passed out a hold harmless agreement. He stated he has no problem with the changes. 3 April 10, 2012 Mr. Carney stated this saves money however; he does n ot want to disregard the Beach Property Owners Association (BPOA) concerns; and spoke regarding the road closings. Mr. Jacquet stated he is concerned with the costs. H e asked will this result in savings for the city. He stated he is also concerned about the road c losings for two days.

This Task Force runs annually from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve and provides a saturation of patrol units in all shopping centers w ithin the City of Delray Beach. The Police Department provides high profile visi bility, utilizing approximately 100 different officers throughout the holiday season. During the course of the program in 2011, over one thousand, three hundred hours were dedicated to this project. The Holiday Robbery Task Force serves as an important deterrent, reducing t he number of serious crimes during the Holiday Season when crimes of opportunity te nd to increase. In addition, the presence of officers is expected to make citize ns and visitors feel more secure. If a crime should occur, officers are on site and available to intervene. During the 2012 holiday season, we expect the Holiday Robbery Task Force to be deployed in the following commercial areas: Delray Crossings Plaza (wi th the anchor store of Target, Outback and Steak-n-Shake restaurants), Super Walmart, Delray Square, Boca/Delray Plaza, Delray West Plaza, Pines West Plaza, Plaza Del ray (with the anchor stores of Publix Supermarket, Regal Cinemas, and Staples), and the Downtow n Delray Beach business/art district with specialty shopping and restaurants (i nclusive of Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to the Intracoastal Coastal Waterway). The proj ected cost 2 to continue the Holiday Robbery Task Force for 2012 is anticipated to remain on pa r with the prior year and the number of needed officers for this project will re main approximately the same. Last year’s total cost was $62,389.74, with $53,503 funded through the FY 2011 JAG and the remainder being funded by the City. For the upcoming 12/13 fiscal year, we are requesting the full JAG allocation of $42,212 go towards funding this important program.

Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:April 11, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.J.2 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 CONTRACT AWARD/ SPECIAL PRODUCTS GROUP (SPG) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests approval of a contra ct with Special Products Group (SPG) for uniform procurement for Police Department personnel. Price s will be “piggy-backed” from the attached contract with the City of Boynton Beach. Purchases will als o be made through a SPG contract with the City of Melbourne if it provides better pricing. BACKGROUND After a significant amount of research and communic ation with various stake holders, the Police Department has decided to convert to a new style of uniforms. One reason behind this change was the decision to adopt a mandatory wear policy for bulle t proof vests. The health and safety benefits of th is position are obvious. The new policy also allows us to be eligible for grant dollars we would not be a ble to access otherwise. In order to make the mandatory wear policy practical, however, it was necessary t o explore different options for uniforms. Our Department will be adopting a vest that is worn over the shirts (as opposed the current vests whic h are worn under the shirt). This switch offers many benefits to the employees, including less back stra in and easier access to equipment. It is a style alrea dy adopted by many Police Departments in the area. Several cost saving factors were built into this pr oposal. The Department currently has three classes of uniforms. One of those (the class “C” which is used as a utility uniform and an alternati ve to the class “B”) will be eliminated. We will no longer be providing jackets but have opted for lower cost sweatshirts instead. The new class “B” uniform will be less expensive than the current one . We will be consolidating vendors and vests so that bullet proo f vests will be standardized and purchased from the same vendor. The new uniform purchases will be staggered over tw o years and will correspond with the replacement of bullet proof vests which is already scheduled. SPG was previously approved to provide uniforms for the Delray Beach Fire Department and is also a vend or used by this Department. We have found them to consistently provide a high quality product at a competitive price. Costs are projected to be $84,400 for FY 11/12. Fun ds will come from the current year’s budget (from the uniform funding already allocated as well as eq uipment purchases which will be deferred or where cost savings was realized). Costs for the FY 12/13 are projected to be $85,000 and are being requested as part of our uniform needs in the upcoming budget (projections attached). Included in these figures are replacements of standard and dress uniforms on an a s-needed basis. Prices are from the attached contract with Boynton Beach. Also attached is an e xplanation of the “balance of line” clause. The price estimates above are based on the City of Boynton Beach contract with SPG which includes a 25% discount for "balance of line" items. In Novem ber 2011, the Commission approved for Fire Department uniforms to be purchased from SPG throug h a contract with the City of Melbourne which included a 30% discount for "balance of line" items . The Police Department uniform purchases will be made from the agreement (either Boynton Beach or Me lbourne) that provides the better pricing which could reduce costs further. FUNDING SOURCE Funding will be provided from the following account s: 001-2111-521-52.22, 001-2111-521-52.27, 001- 2115-521-52.22, and 001-2115-521-52.27 RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval.

JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH:CITY MANAGER DATE:April 11, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 WAIVER REQUEST/ 9 N.E. 2ND AVENUE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a waiver request to the lower leve l frontage and setback requirements for 9 NE 2 nd Avenue. This waiver would allow 33% frontage at a m aximum setback of 10 ft. along N.E. 2 nd Avenue where 70%-90% frontage is required pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1). BACKGROUND Waiver Requests LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) Findings: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to grant ing a waiver, the approving body must make a finding that granting the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring a rea; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provisio n of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Ground Level Setback and Frontage Requirements: A waiver has been requested to allow 33% frontage a long NE 2 nd Avenue at a maximum setback of 10’ rather than the 70%-90%frontage required, pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F )(4) (c)(1). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), a minim um of 70% and a maximum of 90% of the building frontage shall be set back no greater than ten feet (10’) from the property line for buildings up to twenty-five feet (25’) in height. The remaining length of the building sh all be setback a minimum of fifteen feet (15’). The applicant has provided the following justificat ion statement regarding the waiver request: “The existing structure has approximately forty-nin e feet (49’) of building frontage. Therefore, a minimum of approximately 34’ and a maximum of appro ximately 44’ of the building frontage is required to be set back no greater than ten feet (1 0’) from the property line. The proposed building design of the Property seeks to demolish approximat ely thirty-three feet (33’) of existing building frontage, which is currently set back only four fee t (4 ’) from the property line, and rebuild and relocate it ten feet (10’) further into the space. The new setback from the pr operty line would be fourteen feet (14’). Stated otherwise, approximately 67% of the b uilding frontage would be setback more than 10 ’ from the property line...The entire roof, columns a nd structural supports are to remain and will not b e moved. The existing non-load bearing glass storefront will be replaced with a folding impact glass storefront. The building footprint (generally under stood to mean the horizon projected area of the bui lt structure from the roof down to the ground level) i s not changing. This is comparable to many other restaurants in the CBD/downtown area with similar e levations and which design element is intended to provide a location for a desired covered outdoor di ning area...Waivers were not required in those instances for reasons the applicant is unaware.” The Central Business District requires all building s to be placed in close proximity to rights of way, to encourage pedestrian access and to foster a uniform streetscape along major thoroughfares. The code encourages a maximum setback of ten feet (10’). It is important for the applicant to recognize the need to pull the building mass closer to the street and create an attractive pedestrian friendly area in th e front. However, given the design of the floor plan layout, which includes a covered outdoor bar and dining area, the entrance will continue to look inviting t o passing pedestrians. The waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(b)(1) does n ot affect the neighboring areas or create an unsafe situation. Granting of the requested waiver will no t diminish the provision of public facilities or re sult in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, pos itive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) in the reduction of the require d setback along NE 2 nd Avenue. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Site Plan Review and Appearance Board reviewed the waiver request at their meeting of March 14, 2012 in conjunction with the Class III Site Plan mo dification approval. By a vote of 4-0, SPRAB recommended approval to the requested waiver of LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), Minimum Ground Level Building Setback and Frontage. A detailed description and analysis of the developm ent proposal is contained within the attached Site Plan Review a nd Appearance Board staff report of March 14, 2012. RECOMMENDATION Approve the waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1 ), to reduce the required ground floor setback and frontage from 70%-90% at a maximum of t en feet (10’) to 33% alongNE 2 nd Avenue, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 9 NE 2 nd Avenue 1.

All of the evidence is a part of the record i n this case. Required findings are made in accordance with Subsection I. I. WAIVERS: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to grantin g a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of p ublic facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on ot her property for another applicant or owner. A. Waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1) Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(c)(1), a minimum of 70% and a maximum of 90% of the building frontage shall be set back to no greater than ten feet (10’) from the property line for buil dings up to twenty-five feet (25’) in height. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow 33% of the building frontage at NE 2 nd Avenue to be set back at a maximum of ten feet (10’).

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoni ng THROUGH:City Manager DATE:April 12, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.B. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 REMOVE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO THE CONDITIONAL U SE REQUEST/MILAGRO CENTER ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is remo val of a condition of approval which required a letter of acknowledgement from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation that they agree that amenities required for Villages of Delray multifamily develop ment could be utilized by the Milagro Child Care use. BACKGROUND The conditional use for the Milagro Child Care faci lity was approved by City Commission on July 5, 2011 and the related Site Plan was approved on Octo ber 12, 2011 by SPRAB. Both of these approvals were granted subject to several conditions of appro val, including the requirement that a letter from t he Florida Housing Financial Corporation be obtained a cknowledging acceptance of the Milagros child care facility occupying amenities constructed for t he residents of Villages of Delray. The applicant has addressed all conditions of approval except this re quirement and Milagro is now requesting it be removed citing, in part, timing concerns in obtaini ng such a letter. The child care center will occupy residential ameni ties initially approved by SPRAB for the Village of Delray multifamily residential development includin g the clubhouse and surrounding playground and tot lot areas. These same amenities are also ident ified as required amenities for these residents bot h in the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Land Use Restriction Agreement (see attached) and the Credit Underwriting Report (see attached) for t his development. Given these factors it is prudent to verify that the proposed arrangement is acceptable with FHFC to avoid any potential future issues that could stem from this city commission approval actio n. Further, this confirmation appears to be require d regardless of the City Commission condition pursuan t to Sections 4a and 4c (pages 16 and 17) of the attached Land Use Restriction Agreement. These sect ions require approval by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for the leasing of any part of the development buildings. While it is acknowledged that timing is now becomin g an issue, this condition has been in place for 9 months (since July 5, 2011) and to our knowledge th ere has been no attempt to obtain the required confirmation. RECOMMENDATION Recommend denial of the request to remove the afore mentioned condition of approval associated with the Conditional Use for Milagro Child Care center. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPRO VAL FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A PRIVATE CHIL D CARE FACILITY FOR THE MILAGRO CENTER AT 675 AUBURN AVENUE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1.

McDuffie, Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Chevelle Nubin City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Estelio Breto, Senior Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:June 29, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION M EETING OF JULY 5, 2011 CONDITIONAL USE REQU EST/MILAGRO CENTER ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a Conditional Use request to establish a private child care facility known as the Milagro Center. The child care facility will operate within a portion of the existing 7,500 sq. ft. club house of the Village at Delray multiple family residential development. BACKGROUND Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(D)(1), within the RM (Multiple Family Residential) zoning district, child care facilities are allowed as a Conditional Use. The subject property is located at 675 Auburn Avenue, which is on east side of Auburn Avenue. The Milagro Center intends to operate after school from 2:15 to 6:00 pm, Monday-Friday. The Milagro Center also will serve children from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on non-school days, including the summer mont hs to keep the children off the streets. The Milagro Center staffs 5 full time employees and one part time employee for approximately 43 K-5 th grade children. The child care center will occupy the residential amenities initially approved by SPRAB within the clubhouse for Village at Delray multiple family residential development. These include the multiple purpose area and large kitchen and café area, out side play areas around the pool and support pool facilities like restrooms. All of these enhanced recreational components were provided for the residents to justify the increase in density to 18 units per acre for this development. While the applicant has attempted to mitigate the losses in internal recreational components it is at a much reduced level. [Clubhouse amenities originally approved at 2,517 sq. ft. now reduced to 529 sq. ft. (79% reduction in size)]. In addition, the newly relocated diminished multipurpose area will operate in an area with difficult access as the residents will have to go through the reception, vestibule, leasing conference room before they actually reach the new multiple purpose area. Further other LDR compliance issues are raised in the staff re port including an inadequate drop-off area. Page 1of 3 Coversheet 4/13/2012 htt p ://itweba pp /A g endaIntranet/Bluesheet.as p x?ItemID=4628&Meetin g ID=322 As this proposal will negatively impact the clubhouse amenities and adjacent outside play areas approved as part of the recreational component of the residential development to justify an increased in density , positive findings cannot be made with respect to Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations more particularly LDR Sectio n 4.4.6(H)(3) Recreational Amenities. At its meeting of June 20, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with the conditional use request for the Milagro Center. Presentations were made by staff and the applicant. While the Planning and Zoning Board was concerned over the utilization of community recreational amenities by a private entity the applicant’s attorney indicated the facility would continue to be available for residents when the Milagro Cent er was not open. With that assurance and after a lengthy discussion, the Board moved a recommendation of approval of the conditional use request for the Milagro Center on a vote of 4-2, by adopting th e findings of fact and law contained in the staf f report. A detailed description and an alysis of the proposal is contained within the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff reports of June 20, 2011. While the applicant's assurance of additional residential access to the facility addressed part of staf f concerns, these facilities will not be available for the residents they were intended for significant periods particularly during the high use months in the summer. Further we are skeptical that the facilities once set up with office equipment, child care play areas, and other activity areas associated with the Milagro Center actually will be open to th e residential community given legitimate safety and security concerns. RECOMMENDATION Move a recommendation of denial to the Conditional Use request to locate and establish a child care facility The Milagro Center within the Village at Delray Club House ,by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in Chapter 3.1.1, Compliance with the Land Development Regulations, LDR Section 4.4.6(H)(3) Recreational Amenities, and LDR Section 4.3.3(E) (4) Loading and Drop-off Area. In the event that the City Commission approves the Conditional Use request for The Milagro Center, staff recommends that it should be done subject to the following condition: 1.A letter from the Palm Beach County Traffic Division indicating that the project meets the traffic concurrency standards of Palm Beach County is required; 2.That the maximum capacity of the child care facility be limited to a total of 43 students; 3.That the applicant obtains acknowledgement from the Health Department that the facility can operate as a shared facility (as advanced by the applicant’s attorney), and that all recreational components both internal and external that are part of the conditional use request remain available for utilization by the residential development's residents during times the Milagro Center is closed; 4.That the applicant provides a copy of the Credit Underwriting Report issued and approved by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) listing those specific amenities within the clubhouse and/or the Village at Delray development that were required to be for the RESIDENTS ONLY; 5.That the applicant provides a copy of the Land Use Restriction Agreement between the FHFC and Auburn Corporation which was recorded as a deed restriction against the Village at Delray Development outlining what amenities are requi red for the use of RESIDENTS ONLY; and 6.That if any of the amenities required by the Credit Underwriting Report or conditioned in the Land Use Restriction Agreement are included in this request then a letter acknowledging Page 2of 3 Coversheet 4/13/2012 htt p ://itweba pp /A g endaIntranet/Bluesheet.as p x?ItemID=4628&Meetin g ID=322 acceptance of this arrangement w ill be required from the FHFC.

Harden, City Manager DATE:April 3, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.C. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 CHANGE ORDER NO. 3/BRANG CONSTRUCTION, INC./ARRA BUS SHELTE RS P/N 2009 - 055 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to approve Chang e Order No. 3 in the amount of $14,594.54 to Brang Construction, Inc. for the purchase of sixtee n (16) bus shelter benches, and installation of fif teen benches; as requested by Palm Tran; plus a contract time extension of 130 days; for the ARRA Bus Shelters Project #2009-055. BACKGROUND On February 1, 2011, the Commission awarded a Contr act to Brang Construction, Inc. to install 23 bus shelters throughout the City. The project is funde d through an ARRA grant received by Palm Tran. On July 5, 2011, the City Manager approved an amoun t of $11,166.70, to be paid out of the contract's Contingency Allowance, for the cost of additional w ork required to comply with ADA requirements per Palm Tran. On September 20, 2011, Commission approved Change O rder No. 1 (CO#1) to Brang Construction, Inc. for a contract time extension of fourteen (14) days. In addition, Commission approved an additional amount of $1,548.30 to be paid out of th e contract's Contingency Allowance for additional excavation and flatwork required at Bus Stop #8 (lo cated on Old Germantown Road, west of Homewood Boulevard), to meet ADA requirements. Thi s amount was previously excluded in the total additional cost amount by Brang. On December 13, 2011, Commission approved a Contrac t Addition (CO #2) for the purchase and installation of one (1) additional bus shelter at S W 10th Street; which was requested by Palm Tran; an d a contract time extension of 208 days to accommodat e manufacturing and delivery time. Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $14,594.54, is for the purchase of 16 bus shelter benches; and the installation of 15 of the benches; one bench is to accompany a bus shelter that is currently on order, but not yet received. The benches will replace the bus shelter benches located in Palm Beach County DOT rights-of-way; per Palm Tran's punch list on the ARRA Bus She lters Project. CO #3 also includes a contract time extension of 130 days. Exhibit "A' t o CO #3 is attached with additional details. The City designed the project with benches similar to those previously installed in the City, and as illustrated in Palm Tran's documents. During final inspections, Palm Tran rejected all (23) installed benches; as their standards had been updated.

Harden, City Manager DATE:April 9, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 14 -12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This ordinance is before Commission for second read ing and a quasi-judicial hearing for a privately- initiated small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning for the proposed 10th & 10th Center, located at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and 10th Avenue. The small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment consists of a Future L and Use Map change from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated Text Amendment modifying the description of the Transitional Land Use designation within the Future Land Use Ele ment to restrict the use on the property to nonresidential development at a maximum FAR of 0.25 . The associated rezoning will change the property from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighbor hood Commercial). BACKGROUND The subject property is located at the southeast co rner of SW 10th Street and SW 10th Avenue, and is approximately 1.49 acres in size. This property and the surrounding area are located within the Wallac e Drive Industrial Area, which is subject to the “Wal lace Drive Redevelopment Plan”, adopted by the City Commission on January 6, 2004. The Plan encour ages the development of light industrial, limited commercial and office uses in an urban setting. The Plan recommended a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for the subject prope rty from Redevelopment Area #2 (RDA-2) to Commerce (CMR) and from Single-Family Residential (R-1-A) to Light Industrial (LI), respectively. The recommended FLUM amendment and rezoning were ap proved by the City Commission on January 6, 2004. The requested Future Land Use Map amendment from CM R (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and rezoning from Light Industrial (LI) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) is to allow development of a neighborhood commercial center at this location. Th e applicant’s justification for these modifications is that there have been changes in industrial market c onditions since adoption of the Wallace Drive Plan in 2004 which make additional industrial development i mpractical; and that there has been an increase in residential development in the immediate area that has resulted in increased demand for neighborhood retail and services uses. Staff agrees that there have been changes in indust rial market conditions since 2004 and that this is the result of the current economic downturn. Staff does not agree that the current economic conditions represent a necessity to change long-range future land use provisions for the City. Ther e was no timeline associated with the redevelopment effort given in t he Redevelopment Plan. Redevelopment will not occur until opportunities arise on individual prope rties and market conditions support those opportunities. The City only has 374 acres of land within the Indu strial Land Use categories of IND (Industrial) and CMR (Commerce). This represent only 3.7% of the Cit y’s developable land area. The applicant’s justification statement included data that the City of Boca Raton reduced its light industrial land us e by 25% between 1989 and 2005. It is significant to not e that Boca Raton’s 2005 figure of 6.45% is still 75% higher than the City’s 3.7% figure. It is also important to note that th e City reduced the amount of industrial land use in 2006 with creation of the MR OC zoning district along the Congress Avenue corridor. This new zoning district eliminated indus trial zoning in favor of a mixed residential, offic e and commercial zoning to encourage mixed use developmen t with commercial or office on the ground floor and residential above utilizing new urbanism design elements. Staff’s position is supported by the Palm Beach County Light Industrial Land Use Study “Whitepaper” and “Land Use Toolkit”, prepared by Swiger Consulting in December 2007, whi ch recommends the retention of Industrial properties. Further reduction of the City’s industrial base is unwarranted at this time and should be discouraged. The current Future Land Use Map designation of Commerce, along with the existing Light Industrial zoning is flexible enough to allow considerable development opportunities for the subject property as the economy improves. The allowed principal uses include “research and development”; “Wholesaling, S torage and Distribution”; “Manufacturing and Assembly”; “Office”; and “Repair”. It also allows l imited retail for items processed on the premises. In terms of increased demand from the additional re sidential development in the area, staff notes that while more than 445 additional residential multifam ily units have been approved and some of the units built within the area north of SW 10th Street, this area was zoned for multiple family development pri or to adoption of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan in 2004. In terms of long-range planning, the construction of these anticipated units does not re ally represent a change in circumstances. The applicant’s property is located 0.45 miles from the Villages at Delray/Village Square developments. The convenience shopping needs of these residents are c urrently being met by two convenience stores -- the ABC Mini Mart, located at the southwest corner of S W 10th Street and SW 10th Avenue and the Valero gas station/convenience store, located in the Sherw ood Park Plaza at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and Congress Avenue. Sherwood Park Plaza is the closest neighborhood service/retail shopping center, and is the same distance away from the new residential units as the subject property. At one t ime, this center even had a Dollar General Store, but it has since been closed. Over 7,000 square feet of s pace is currently vacant at this center. Major shopping/services are also available on Linton Boulevard at Linton Square Plaza, 0.9 miles away, Linton Center, 1.2 miles away, and The Plaza at Delray, 1.8 miles away. Finally, downtown Delray Beach, with a wide r ange of specialty shops, is 1.7 miles away. For the reasons outlined above, staff feels that th e changed conditions are not sufficient to warrant approval of the proposed FLUM modification, which w ill reduce the amount of land in the Commerce FLUM designation. This reduction is in direct confl ict with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.3, which says that such reductions should be discourag ed. The applicant’s proposal also includes an associated text amendme nt to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan modifying the description of the Transitional Future Land Use Map designation to limit development of the subject property to non residential uses at a maximum FAR (Floor Area Ratio) of 0.25. This text amendment will reduce the maximum potential traffic impact of a 100% retail development to a level less than or equal to that w hich could be realized by a mixed office/retail development under the existing Commerce FLUM design ation at its maximum FAR of 0.60. A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 is currently permit ted for nonresidential uses in the Transitional designation. If the FLUM amendment and rezoning are supported by the City Commission, then the text amendment should also be supported. Since the proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning are not consistent with recommendations in the adopted Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan, the appli cant is seeking a concurrent amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to address the conflicts. This m odification, which is being processed concurrently, is a sub-item to this agenda item on the April 17, 2012 Regular Commission Meeting agenda. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of March 19, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing associated with the small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment, including a Fut ure Land Use Map amendment from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associa ted text amendment; rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial); and mo dification of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan. Staff presented its analysis of the applicant ’s justification for the proposed changes and recommended denial based on a failure to make posit ive findings related to “Demonstration of Need ” and consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Poli cies of the Comprehensive Plan. Note: the complete analysis of applicant’s justification is included i n the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Repo rt. The applicant made a presentation in support of the changes and stated that there is not a current mar ket for light industrial development; that the future m arket for the light industrial development will be limited; and that this is the “right place-right ti me” for a neighborhood commercial development at the proposed location. Several members of the public sp oke on this agenda item—both in favor of and in opposition to the proposed changes. After a discuss ion, the Board recommended approval of the proposal on a 7-0 vote. The City Commission passed Ordinance No. 14-12 on first reading at the April 3, 2012 Regular Meeting in order to move the item forward for seond reading and a public hearing. RECOMMENDATION Although the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval, staff recommends that the City Commission deny Ordinance No. 14-12 on second readi ng for a small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment, including a Future Land Use Map amendmen t from CMR (Commerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated text amendment, an d rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) for the subject property, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval thereof is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and does not meet the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(D)(5) and 3.1.1 of the Land Development Regulations.

BACKGROUND The Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan creates the fr amework for the future redevelopment of an area which was originally identified as Redevelopment Ar ea #2 in the City’s 1989 Comprehensive Plan. The Redevelopment Area is bordered by SW 10th Street on the north; Milfred Street on the south; SW 9th Avenue on the east; and Tangelo Terrace on the west . Two-thirds of the area is located west of Wallace Drive, which bisects the area, running diagonally f rom northeast to southwest. The area was annexed into the City via the Enclave Act (Enclave #31A), o n June 28, 1988. By this time, under County jurisdiction, the area had evolved into a mix of in compatible land uses with limited public infrastruc ture and little or no code enforcement. As a result, mos t of the area had deteriorated to a point where pri vate investment had virtually stopped. The Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Comm ission on January 6, 2004. Recommendations in the Plan on Future Land Use Map designations and zoning for the area were initiated and adopted the same day. The Future Land Use Map designation for t he area east of Wallace Drive/SW 10th Avenue, which includes the applicant’s property, was changed to CMR (Commerce) and the a rea was rezoned to LI (Light Industrial). It was the intent of the Pla n to make the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Area a unique place that would encourage the development o f light industrial, limited commercial and office uses in an urban setting. This would, in turn, serv e as a catalyst to increase property values and inc rease the City’s employment base in the industrial, manuf acturing and trade sectors. The applicant wishes to develop a neighborhood comm ercial center, including a Dollar type store at the southeast corner of SW 10th Street and SW 10th Aven ue. To support the proposed use, the applicant is seeking a Future Land Use Map amendment from CMR (C ommerce) to TRN (Transitional) and an associated rezoning from LI (Light Industrial) to N C (Neighborhood Commercial). These changes are not consistent with recommendations in the adopted Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan. Since the Comprehensive Plan mandates that all Future develop ment must be in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, the applicant is seeking a concurrent am endment to the Redevelopment Plan to address the conflicts. A copy of the proposed Plan amendment is attached. The intent is not to incorporate the modifications directly into the existing sections o f the Plan, since this would give the impression th at the changes were always a part of the original Plan and would result in a loss of historic perspective . Instead, the proposal is to add a new “2012 Modific ations” section to the Plan that will include updated recommendations for amendments to the Future Land U se Map, Zoning Map and Land Development Regulations, as well as a description of changes in conditions since 2004 that the applicant percieves as making these modifications necessary. To maintain c ontinuity, it will also be necessary to reference t his new Section in the existing “Executive Summary” and “Implementation” Sections of the Plan. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of March 19, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the proposed amendment of the Redevelopment Plan. In its present ation of the concurrent small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning, staff presented an ana lysis of the applicant’s justification for the proposed changes and recommended that the Board mov e a recommendation of denial based on a failure to make positive findings related to “Demon stration of Need” and consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Based on this analysis, staff feels that the change d conditions are not sufficient to warrant approval o f the proposed FLUM modification, which will reduce the amount of land in the Commerce FLUM designation . This reduction is in direct conflict with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.3, which states that su ch reductions should be discouraged. The amendment of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Pl an is necessary to support the concurrent small- scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning if they are to be adopted. Since the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval those actions, it also recommended approval of the amendment of the Wallace Drive Redevelopment Plan on a 7-0 vote. RECOMMENDATION Although the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval, staff recommends that the City Commission deny the proposed amendment to the Walla ce Drive Redevelopment Plan, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff rep ort, and finding that the amendment and approval thereof is not consistent with the Comprehensive Pl an. (motion to be stated in the affirmative).
