America Ci~ MEMO~NDUM 1993 TO: City Comssion FROM: Brian Shutt, Assist~t City Attorney S~CT: Sewer e~ension joim ~ndin~ Lee propeay On June 6, 1995 the City Co~ssion approved a request for joim ~nding on the construction o~ appro~mately 1,400 line~ feet of ~avity sewer m~n Mong Fr~wood Ddve to se~e the 16 acre Lee propeay whch had been recemly ~exed imo the City. Lee's Crossing - Delray Beach Li~ted P~nershp was the entity just recently fomed to act as the developer for the Lee propeay. The aRached agreement is between the City and Lee's Crossing - Delray Beach Li~ted P~ners~p as the developer ~d owner. The proposed development of the propeay is for appro~mately 50 to 55 single f~ly homes. In order to prohde sewer se~ice to the developmem the grahty sewer m~n would mn along Fr~wood DrNe to an e~st~g m~ole on B~ck Road. The one t~rd paaicipation that was previously approved by the Co~ssion ~d was based on the ratio of e~sting lots ~ong Fr~wood Ddve (26) to the tot~ number of proposed uffits to be se~ed by the facility (55 + 26 = 81, 26/81 = 33%). The agreemem is structured in such a way that the m~mum mourn the City would have to pay under any circumst~ce would be one t~rd of $100,000 or $33,333.00. If the Developer were to construct more th~ the 55 single f~ly homes on the propeay then the City's comdbmion would decrease because the ratio of the homes being constructed by the Developer would increase as comp~ed to the 26 lots Mong Fr~wood Drive. By copy of t~s agreement to the City Manager, our office requests it be placed on the J~u~ 23, 1996 City Co~ssion Agenda.

NOW, THEREFORE, for the promises as set forth herein the parties agree as follows: 1. The above-stated recitals are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. 9.. The Developer will provide, construct and irmall an eight (8) inch sanitary sewer pipe connecting to the sanitary sewer service at Barwick Road and extending along the right-of- way of Franwood Drive to the Lee Property, an estimated length of 1,400 i~. (Az shown in Exhibit "A"). 3. The sanitary sewer pipe will be furnished with sufficient corm6~ions along Franwood Drive to allow sanitary sewer service to b~ provided to the e~xisting 26 lota on Franwood Drive. 4. The D~veloper a~serts that it ~ build approximatdy 55 singlo family det~hed homes on the parcel ofl~nd known as the Le~ Prop~:y. The parties agree that in eomid~ration of the building of 55 single family detached hom~s the City shall contribute as set forth herein an amount for sanitary sewer services to encourage such dovelopment. The Developer has that it will cost approximately $100,000.00 to construct the sanitary sewer extension for the 55 single ~mily detached unit d~elopment. The 26 lots along Franwood Drive constitute approximately one third of the total amount of single family detached units that will be s~-vic~l by the sanitary sewer extension and, th~efore, the City shall pay a ~um i~aount of ot~ third, not to exceed $33,333.00, of the total amount of the project. The City d~t'es to provide sanitary 2 12/27/95 WED 10:5i FAX 407 278 4755 DHL BCH CTY ATTY ~004 sewer service to the 26 lots, which are not located in the City, in order to gain access to the Lee Property. 5. If the Developer increases or decreases the number of single family detached homes that will be constructed on the Lee Property then the percentage of the total amount that the City will pay shall be modified by the formula as set forth herein. For example: (1) Ifthe Developer builds 55 single family detached homes, asit has asserted, and the total construction cost is less than $100,000.00, then the City's contribution percentage would be as follows: (single family homes to be constructed) 55 + 0ors along Franwood Drive) + 26 = (tot~ number of homes) ~- 81 (lots along Franwood Drive) 26 {total number ofhome~) + 81 (% of City's contribution) = 32% Therefore, if the Developer builds $5 single family detached homes and the total construction cost is less than $100,000.00, the City's contribution is a maximum of one third of the actual construction cost. Under this same .scenario ii'the Developer builds 55 single family detached homes and the total construction cost is $100,000.00 or greater, then the City's contribution is a maximum of one third orS100,000.00 or $33,333.00. (2) If the Developer were to build 75 single family detached homes rather than 55 the City's contribution percentage would be as follows: (single family homes to be constructed) 75 . .{lots along F. ranwood Drive) + 26 (total number of homes) ~- 101 (lots along Franwood Drive) 26 {total number of homes) + ~ (% of City's coui~ibution) = 26% Under the second scenario if the total cost for construction is $100,000.00 or less, and if the Developer increases the number of single Family detached homes to 75, then the City shall only be requ/red to pay 26% of the actual cost of construction. If the total amount of construction is $100,000.00 or ooreater and the Developer 3 12/27/95 WED 10:52 FAX 407 276 4755 ~EL BC~ CT'/' AT'I'Y ~005 increases the number of single family homes to 75, then the City would only pay a maximum of 26% of $100,000.00, ($26,000.00) rather than $33,333.00. (3) If the Developer were to construct less than 55 single family detached homes on the Lee Property and the total cost of construction is less than $100,000.00 then the City would only pay a maximum of one third of the actual cost of construction of the sanitary sewer extension. Even though the percentage of homes along 1;ranwood Drive would increase compared to the percentage of homes that would be developed, this scenario would not increase the City's contribution above one third of the actual construction cost. For example if the Developer only builds 35 single ~mi~j detached homes then the City's contn'otnion percentage would be as follows: (single family homes to be constructed) 35 + (lots alon_~ Franwood D_rive) + :26 = (total number of homes) = 61 (lots along Franwood Drive) 26 ~- (t. otal number of'homes) + 61 = (% o£ City's conm"oution) = ~ (maximum % of'City's contribution) = 33% Under this scenario i~ the Developer were to only build 35 single family detached homes, although, it might appear that the City would contribute 43% of the cost or' construction o£ the sanitat7 sewer extension, this is not the case, the City would only contribute a m.~firnum o£ 33% of the actual construction cost if' the total construction cost for the sanitary sewer extension is less than $100,000.00 If the Developer were to construct less than 55 single family detached homes on the Lee Property and the total cost o£ construction is greater than $I00,000.00, the City would only pay a maximum of'one third of $100,000.00 or $33,333.00. 6. This Agreement is void if the Developer fails to construct single family detached homes as set forth herein. 7.

BACKGROUND Pursuant to recommendations from the Visions 2005 Assembly report, the Department of Community Improvement invited the various housing providers to a series of meetings designed to develop a coordinated approach to affordable housing delivery. The Delray Beach Renaissance Program was first presented to the Commission on January 17, 1995 when we received approval to submit an application to the Federal Home Loan Bank for additional subsidy dollars. Staff provided a detailed description of the program at that time. This new approach to affordable housing delivery was developed after one full year of meetings between the various agencies involved in providing affordable housing. The Memorandum of Understanding and accompanying Policies and Procedures are the results of those meetings. All of the agency's Boards of Directors have approved the document that outlines the responsibilities of each partner. The program was designed to assist 80 families over a period of two years. The City will coordinate the program and provide subsidy dollars through our HOME, SHIP and Bootstrap programs. Each agency has committed either cash or expertise to this program with the nonprofit agencies serving as agents for the home buyers. The amount of dollars available for the program is defined in Exhibit B of the Memorandum of Understanding. Financing (1 st Mortgage funding) is provided through the Community Financing Consortium; The Community Redevelopment Agency is providing $100,000 for subsidies plus architectural designs, appraisals, lots with clean titles and technical assistance to nonprofit agencies; The Delray Beach Housing Authority will provide $60,000 for subsidies and train non profits in the area of rental management; The TED Center and the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation (CDC) will receive applications for the program, screen applicants, forward applications and requests for subsidy to the Department of Community Improvement and loan packages to the lending institution, work with builders, oversee construction and provide educational workshops and seminars. The Memorandum of Understanding has been reviewed by the City Attorney for legal sufficiency and upon approval will be in effect for a two-year period ending September 30, 1997.

IV. Program Description The following is a summary description, homebuyer eligibility criteria and overall procedures for implementation of the of the various components of the Delray Beach Renaissance Program. A. Homebuilding This component involves the construction of 70 new single family units and the acquisition and rehabilitation of 10 additional single family units to be sold to the very low, low and moderate income home buyers. Subsidy is available for eligible homebuyers from the City's SHIP, HOME and Bootstrap Rehab Program, the Community Redvelopment Agecncy's Affordable Housing Program, the Delray Beach Housing Authority, the Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program and other public and private sources which may be made available in the future. The amount of subsidy combined from all sources shall not exceed $20,000 per household. Subsidy shall be awarded to homebuyers on a first come, first served basis, with no preferential consideration being provided to either Non Profit agency. 1. Eligibility_ and Priority. Considerations Program administrators shall provide assistance in consideration of the following: 2 a. Family Status - Parental households with dependent children shall receive primary consideration. b. Residency - families who are current residents or who are employed within the City of Delray Beach. c. Income - Families whose income levels do not exceed 80% of the Median Family Income (MFI) adjusted for family size (following HUD Section 8 guidelines). Those families with incomes below 50% shall be targeted for 64 of the 80 units with those whose incomes not exceeding 65% of MFI targeted for 16 of the units. Income will be verified by contacting employers, Income Tax records and/or three pay periods of check stubs. d. Credit Worthiness - A credit report will be requested and reviewed with the participating lender. Only those households meeting the lenders credit standards will be processed further. e. Debt Ratio (Affordability) - Applicants will be screened on the lenders income to housing debt ratios. Housing expenses (PITI) may exceed 30% of the households' income; however, this amount shall not exceed 30% of the area median income limits adjusted for family size for the income category. f. Public Housing/Section 8 Tenants - Some preference will be given to those eligible families that are presently residing at Carver Estates Public Housing Complex or are currently receiving Section 8 rental assistance. g. First Time Homebuyers - In accordance with Federal Regulations at 24 CFR 92.2, first time homebuyers include displaced homemakers, single parents and families who have not owned a home within 3 years prior to application for housing assistance. 2. Homebuyer Assistance a. Assistance with Construction Financing - Low or no-interest loans up to $20,000, averaging approximately $15,000, may be made for principal reduction; the payment of closing costs and payment of impact fees (ordinances adopted by Palm Beach County and the City of Delray Beach do not allow the waiver of impact fees). Principal Reductionwill be secured as a second mortgage on the property and mn for 15 years with a 0% interest rate. For each year the household lives in the property as their principal residence 1/15 of the assistance amount will be forgiven. Subsidy assistance provided with Federal Home Loan Bank dollars will be secured by a third position mortgage. b. Lot Acquisition for New Construction - Assistance with the purchase of vacant, single family lots within the boundaries of the CDBG Target Area may be given to eligible sponsors or the very low and low income households needing to subsidize a portion of the cost of the home or mortgage to reduce the end price. Lots acquired and provided to eligible sponsors and/or families will be conditioned on construction beginning within twelve months of closing or assignment of the lot, and the condition that the new unit must be completed within 24 months of the fiscal year in which it was acquired. Families receiving this form of assistance must be approved for a mortgage. Lots shall be provided on a first come/first served basis. c. Acquisition/Rehabilitation Assistance - Assistance to very low and low income households to purchase existing homes which may need repair and will be used as their principal home may be provided. The assistance provided will be in the form of a deferred loan up to $15,000, with the average assistance per unit being approximately $8,000. This assistance will be secured as a second mortgage on the property and run for 15 years with a 0% interest rate. For each year the household lives in the property as their principal residence 1/15 of the assistance amount will be forgiven. 4 3. Recapture Provisions Families assisted under this program shall be contractually subject to Recapture Provisions as set forth in the Palm Beach County/City of Delray Beach HOME Consortium Program Description and the City of Delray Beach SHIP Housing Assistance Plan. These provisions require that purchasers must occupy the unit assisted as the principal residence for a period of 15 years. Any subsequent low income purchaser must also retain the house as principal residence for the balance of the period. If the unit is subsequently sold to a non low income buyer, then the initial assistance, less mortgage amortization, shall be payable in full. These provisions shall be secured by a mortgage note which shall be recorded in the Public Records of Palm Beach County. 4. Application Process/Loan Processing Applications for Affordable Housing assistance may be obtained from either participating agency (City of Delray Beach, CRA, Delray Beach Housing Authority, The TED Center or The Delray Beach CDC). Each application for assistance shall be processed by either the TED Center or the Delray Beach CDC. Upon receipt of application, the Non-Profit agency shall determine eligibility of applicant, provide prequalification services, credit counseling, housing unit and lot selection and building contractor assistance. Upon the completion of the pre-qualification, eligibility and other aplicant processing, the non-profit shall notify the City of Delray Community Development Coordinator of the estimated amount of required subsidy. The non profit shall consult with the Community Financing Consortium to obtain a valid pre-qualification amount. The following shall be considered a formal notification: 1. A Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor 2. Detailed Construction Costs including all hard and soft costs 5 including detailed developer's fees if any. 3. Specification Sheets 4. Income Certification Form 5. Lot Acquisition Contract Upon receipt of the applicant packet from the non profit, the CD Coordinator shall verify eligibility in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. Once this information has been verified, the applicant shall be referred to the Community Financing Consortium for underwriting and mortgage approval. 5. Contractor Pre-qualification and Selection Process The participating nonprofit agencies, the TED Center and the Delray Beach CDC shall be responsible for pre-certifying and selecting builders for the development of housing. The nonprofit agencies shall advertise an invitation for contractors to participate and shall develop a list of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 general contractors who meet the following general criteria: · Proof of license and insurance · Demonstrative Financial Soundness · Ability provide a 1 O-year Home Owners Warranty Program · Ability to provide a minimum of three different floor plans · Ability to provide an affordable product · Possesses a proven track record in the Single Family Affordable market as attested to by governmental agencies, nonprofits, homebuyers, banks and suppliers. · Ability and willingness to invest $200 annually upon acceptance as a participant contractor and $50 for each unit contracted to build. These funds are to be used for marketing the Renaissance Program 6. Morteaee Financine Upon receipt of the above described packet, the Community Financing Consortium shall proceed with its underwriting and loan processing. Within one week of loan closing, verification of subsidy needs and a formal request for funds shall be provided to the City of Delray Beach. 6 7. Mandatory. Homebuyer Seminars Homebuyers shall be required to attend at least one 4-hour training session. The City of Delray Beach, each non-profit agency and the Community Financing Consortium shall jointly coordinate each session. These sessions shall at a minimum include the following topics: 1. Personal Finance and Planning 2. Credit and Borrowing 3. Fair Housing Issues 4. Maintenance and Upkeep 5. Underwriting Criteria 6. Property Tax Information 7. Other information as required by participants and federal/state regulations. B. Credit Incubator We project that there will be applicants whose credit history will deter them from purchasing a home during the first years of the Renaissance program. This component provides for the acquisition of four units to be owned and managed by the participating non profits for the purpose of leasing to applicants with less than desirable credit histories. These applicants would be required to attend seminars and other ongoing programs designed to repair damaged credit. At the end of their incubation period, the applicant would be given the opportunity to purchase the unit occupied. Subsidy would be provided at closing as in the Homebuilding component. C. Title Repair There are a number of vacant lots within the City of Delray Beach that, due to many reasons, have faulty titles. Many of the lots have been demolished over a period of 10 years by the City (eliminating blight) or owned by heirs of persons who died with no Will, or merely were never recorded properly in County records. This component involves the purchase of and/or the contracting and assignment of contracts for lots through the Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA 7 shall provide title clearance for subsequent sale to a purchaser. D. Community Stabilization This component incorporates the City of Delray Beach's existing CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation program, the locally funded Neighborhood Programs and Community Oriented Code Enforcement programs in order to enhance the construction efforts. The City currently provides CDBG grants to low income homeowners for substantial rehabilitation. Additionally, local funds are provided to improve the exterior of owner-occupied housing units. Also, with the adoption of the 1990 Comprehensive Plan, the City committed to provide technical assistance to organizing neighborhood associations throughout the City. These programs along with our Community Oriented Code Enforcement have already created a visually improved community since 1990. Approved Policies and Procedures of the CDBG program and Code Enforcement shall govern this component. E. Cabinet Construction Apprenticeship This component shall take its lead from the private builders, who in cooperation with local vocational schools shall provide on-the-job training opportunities to persons enrolled in cabinet making programs. These apprentices shall provide the cabinets for the new construction component of the Delray Beach Renaissance. MEMORANDUM To: David T. Harden City Manager From: Joseph M. Sar~~' Director of F~n.~/-~ Subject: Revision to City Policy and Procedure Number BF-2, "Investment Policy and Procedures" Date: January 17, 1996 On September 19, 1995, the City Commission adopted the above referenced policy and procedure. We have made the following revisions to this policy: 1. Under BF-2.3 A. Authorized Financial Dealer and Institutions, we have added language to include secondary dealer/brokers who act as investment arms of local qualified banking institutions and stipulated that all financial institutions, with the exception of the State Board of Administration, must have offices within the 50 mile radius of the City. 2. Under BF-2.4 A. Investment Types, we have added a paragraph to allow for Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) with specific commission approval. GIC providers must have the claims-paying ability of "AAA" or "Aaa" by Standard and Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively. Any downgrade in these ratings require appropriate collateralization. We have also deleted under paragraph 5 language requiring that time deposits and savings accounts be issued within a 50 mile radius of the City. This language is covered under the changes referenced in the above paragraph. The location of the authorized dealer and institution now covers all investments which was the original intent of this policy. 3. Under BF-2.10 Investment Procedures, we have revised language to correctly reflect the procedure that we currently operate under. Language under paragraph C was changed to approve investments as those authorized by this investment policy. In paragraph D, language was revised to require that those authorized to call in wire instructions must be approved in writing by two of the following positions: City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, or Assistant Director of Finance. Broker/dealers and institutions must receive written notification by the City of those authorized to call in wire transfers as well as those authorized to approve the transaction. Written confirmation of wiring out funds or wiring in funds for investment must be authorized by two of the above positions unless wire agreements approved by the Commission stipulate otherwise. The type of investment, amount, rate and term is required to be addressed in the confirmation. 4. We added paragraph BF2-11 titled Cash Management Procedures which requires that banking services contracts, wire agreements, collateral/depository agreements, and repurchase agreements be approved by the City Commission and reviewed as needed by the Treasurer. We also included a paragraph stipulating that any charges relative to these agreements be reviewed upon receipt and that any discrepancies be taken care of within a reasonable period of time. We request that this item be placed on the City Commission's agenda for their meeting of January 23, 1996 so that they may formally adopt this revised policy and procedure. c: Rebecca S.

Harden, City Manager BF-2.0 Purpose: A. The purpose of this policy is to set forth guidelines for the investment of the City of Delray Beach's pooled cash, which includes cash and investment balances of the following funds: 1. General Fund 2. Special revenue funds 3. Capital project funds 4. Enterprise funds 5. Expendable trust and agency funds 6. Debt service funds 7. Any new fund created by the City, unless specifically exempted by the City Commission B. The policies set forth do not apply to the the Employee Pension funds of the City, depositories for defeased debt, or assets under Bond Trust Indenture Agreements, when held by third party custodians and/or money Managers. BF-2.1 Investment Objectives: A. The primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be: 1. Safety Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk. a. Credit Risk Credit Risk is the risk of loss. due to the failure of the security issue~ or backer. Credit risk may be mitigated by: i. Limiting investments to the safest types of securities; ii. Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors; and iii. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Two b. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates. Interest rate risk may be mitigated by: i. Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity, and ii. By investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities. 2. Liquidity The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). 3. Yield The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return through budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of least importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions: a. A declining credit security could be sold early to minimize loss of principal; b. A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration the portfolio; or c. Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. BF-2.2 Standards of Care: A. Prudence The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Three written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported immediately and the liquidity and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy. Investments shall be made with judgement and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interest in financial institutions with which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal financial investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City. C. Delegation of Authority Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Director of Finance by the City Manager through powers given by the City Commission per Article 4, Section 4.04 of the City Charter. Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Director of Finance, who shall carry out established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures should include references to: safekeeping, delivery versus payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, collateral/depository agreements and banking services contracts. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Director of Finance. The Director of Finance shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate staff members. BF-2.3 Safekeeping and Custody: A. Authorized Financial Dealer and Institution The City shall only purchase investments from the State Board of Administration, financial institutions which are qualified as public depositories by the Treasurer of the State of Florida, primary securities dealers (or their agents) as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or by secondary securities dealers (or their agents) who act as SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Four investment banking arms of local qualified banking institutions. Financial institutions, with the exception of the State Board of Administration must have offices within a 50 mile radius of the City. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate and as requested: 1. Annual audited financial statements 2. Public depository certification 3. Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) certification 4. Certification of having read the City's investment policy 5. Credit rating provided by a nationally recognized monitoring agency B. Internal Controls The Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgements by management. Accordingly, the Director of Finance shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points: 1. Control of collusion. Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer. 2. Separation of transaction authority from account and record keeping. By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved. 3. Custodial safekeeping. Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate collateral (as defined by State Law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping. Certificates of Deposit issued by a local bank or savings and loan association may be held in safekeeping at that institution. The institution shall issue a copy of the Certificate of Deposit, a safekeeping receipt, or some other confirmation of the purchase which is satisfactory to the Director of Finance, to be kept on file in the Finance Department, and which indicates the amount, interest rate, issue date and maturity date of the Certificate of Deposit. SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Five 4. Avoidance of physically delivered securities. Book entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities. 5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. 6. Written confirmation of telephone transactions for investments and wire transfers. Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone transactions, all telephone transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by appropriate personnel unless an agreement is executed with a financial institution as discussed in paragraph B.7. (below). 7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with a bank or third party custodian. This agreement should outline the various controls, security provisions, and delineate responsibilities of each party making and receiving wire transfers. The agreement should specify the person(s) authorized to process the telephonic wire. The agreement should also specify that wires can be made only to a City of Delray Beach account. C. Delivery versus Payment All trades where applicable will be executed by delivery versus payment (DVP). This ensures that the securities are deposited in the eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds. Securities will be held by a third party custodian as evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The City will execute third party custodial agreements with its bank(s) and depository institution(s). Such agreements will include letters of authority from the City that detail the responsibilities of each party, notification of purchases, sales, delivery, repurchase agreements and wire transfers, safekeeping and transaction costs, procedures in case of wire failure or other unforeseen mishaps including liability of each party. BF-2.4 Suitable and Authorized Investments: Consistent with the GFOA Recommended Practice on State Statutes Concerning Investment Practices, the following investments will be permitted by this policy and are those defined by Florida State law where applicable: A. Investment Types 1. Direct obligations of the U.S. Government; 2. Obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to principal and interest; SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Six 3. The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund created by Section 218.405 Florida Statutes; 4. Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements of which the the underlying collateral shall be any U.S. Government Security authorized in paragraph 1 and 2 within this section. 5. Time deposits and savings accounts in banks and savings and loan associations organized under the laws of Florida or the United States, provided that such deposits are secured by collateral as prescribed by Chapter 280, Florida Statutes; 6. Investment grade obligations of state, and local governments and public authorities. 7. Fixed income mutual funds comprised of only those investment instruments as authorized in paragraphs 1 and 2 within this section. 8. Without specific Commission approval the City will not invest any funds in derivative investment products. This includes but is not limited to collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), forwards, futures, currency and interest rate swaps, options, floaters/inverse floaters, and caps/floors/collars. Derivatives, if approved, should be consistent with the GFOA Practice on Use of Derivatives by State and Local Governments. See GFOA Recommended Practices, Section BF-2.9, for definition and policy. 9. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs). The GIC must be insured. The GIC Insurer must have the claims paying ability of "AAA" or "Aaa" by Standard and Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively. The Guaranteed Investment contract shall provide for collateralization with securities consistent with this policy upon a rating downgrade. Any GIC's purchased subsequent to this policy must receive specific Commission approval. B. Collgteralization In accordance with Florida State Law and the GFOA Recommended Practices on the Collateralization of Public Deposits, collateralization will be required as follows: 1. Repurchase Agreements Use of repurchase agreements should be consistent with GFOA Recommended Practices on Repurchase Agreements. Collateral requirements for Repurchase Agreements will be contained in the Master Repurchase Agreement, executed between the City and the broker/dealer or bank. See GFOA Recommended Practices, Section BF-2.9. 2. Certificates of Deposits Collateral for public deposits is controlled by the State of Florida through Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes. See GFOA Recommended Practices, Section BF-2.9. SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investmen% Policy and Procedures PAGE: Seven BF-2.5 Investment Parameters: A. Diversification The investments will be diversified by security type and institution. B. Maximum Maturities Maximum final stated maturities should be limited to five (5) years unless specific authority is given to exceed that limit. To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched with a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase. The City should determine what the appropriate average weighted maturity of the portfolio should be. C. Reserve funds may be invested in securities exceeding five (5) years if the maturity of such investments are made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of funds. Any investment of reserve funds with maturities greater than five (5) years must be approved by the City Commission. BF-2.6 Bid Requirement: When purchasing or selling securities, the Director of Finance or his designee shall select the investment which provides the highest rate of return within the parameters of this policy and given the current objectives and needs of the City's portfolio. The designee may only include the City Manager, Assistant City Manager or the Assistant Director of Finance. These selections shall be made utilizing one of the following methods: A. Competitive bids, wherein the City solicits proposals from a minimum of three firms located within the fifty (50) mile radius of the City. The City may also seek bids from the State Board of Administration located in Tallahassee, Florida. B. Comparison to the current market price as indicated by one of the market pricing resources available to the City. These include, but are not limited to: 1. Bloomberg Information Delivery System. 2. Wall Street Journal, or a comparable nationally recognized financial publication providing daily market pricing. 3. Daily market pricing provided by the City's Custody Agent or their correspondent institution. In most situations, the City shall utilize the competitive bid process to select the securities to be purchased or sold. Selection by comparison to a current market price, as indicated above, shall be utilized when, in the judgement of the Director of Finance, competitive bidding would inhibit the selection process. Examples of when this might occur are: SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Eight 1. When a dealer brings to the City an unsolicited swap or proposal. 2. When no active market exists for the issue being traded due to the age or depth of the issue. 3. When time constraints due to unusual circumstances preclude use of the competitive bidding process. 4. When a security is unique to a single dealer, for example, a private placement. 5. When the transaction involves new issues or issues in the "when issued" market. When using the competitive bid process, all bids shall become part of the record of the specific security involved. When selection is made based on comparison to current market price, the following information shall become part of the record of the security involved: 1. Reason for use of this method. 2. Source of the current market value used. 3. Price and/or interest rate quoted by said ~ource. BF-2.7 Reporting: A. Methods The Treasurer shall prepare an investment report at least quarterly, including a succinct management summary that provides a clear picture of the status of the current investment portfolio and transactions made over the last quarter. This management summary will be prepared in a manner which will allow the City to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the investment policy. The report should be provided to the Director of Finance. The report will include the following: 1. A listing of individual investments by fund and by institution and the percentage of total portfolio which it represents. 2. A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period. 3. Average weighted yield to maturity of portfolio on City investments as compared to applicable benchmarks. 4. Listing of investments by maturity date. If any problem occurs affecting the principal or interest of any of the investments, the Director of Finance must report this fact immediately to the City Manager and the City Commission. B. Performance Standards The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates. Portfolio performance should be compared to appropriate benchmarks on a regular basis. SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Nine C. Marking to Market A statement of the market value of the portfolio shall be issued at least quarterly. This will ensure that the minimal amount of review has been performed on the investment portfolio in terms of value and subsequent price volatility. Review should be consistent with the GFOA Recommended Practice on Mark-to-Market Practices for State and Local Government Investment Portfolios and Investment Pools. See GFOA Recommended Practices, Section BF-2.9. BF-2.8 Policy: A. Exemption Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy. B. Amendment This policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis. Any changes must be approved the City Commission and the Director of Finance, as well as the individual(s) charged with maintaining internal controls. BF-2.9 GFOA Recommended Practices: A.

The investments must be limited to those defined in the City's policy. SUBJECT: BUDGET & FINANCE Investment Policy and Procedures PAGE: Ten C. Rates quoted are reviewed by the Director of Finance, who selects the investments to be made and initials the bid sheet (Exhibit B). D. If funds are to be wired, a "Wire Transfer Request" (Exhibit C) is completed and approval for the transfer is initialled by the Director of Finance. Wire instructions are given by phone by staff who have been authorized by "Appropriate Personnel" with written authorization given to the financial institutions. "Appropriate Personnel" is defined as two of the following four positions: City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, or the Assistant Director of Finance. Funds may only be wired to accounts which include "City of Delray Beach" in their title. A letter of authorization signed by "Appropriate Personnel" is sent to the institution wiring out funds unless a wire agreement has been executed permitting otherwise. Separate wire agreements should stipulate that any transfer can be made to Delray Beach accounts. E. A letter signed by "Appropriate Personnel" is sent to the institution authorizing the investment. The type of investment, amount, rate, and term should be addressed in the letter. F. The Treasurer must verify the terms of each transaction upon receipt of the actual investment, or the safekeeping receipt from either the broker/dealer, bank or from a third party custodian in the event of delivery versus payment trades. G. A journal entry is made to record the investment transaction. The journal entry number is recorded on the "Wire Transfer Request". B.F.-2.11 Cash Management Procedures: A. Terms of banking services contracts, wire agreements, collateral/depository agreements and repurchase agreements will be approved by the City Commission and reviewed by the Treasurer as needed. B. Charges relative to the above mentioned contracts will be reviewed upon receipt of the billing. Any discrepancies should be resolved within a reasonable period of time. EXHIBIT A GOVERNMENT F1N~NCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Governmental Relationshios with Securities Dealer~ Government~ investors are expected to protect public funds from losses arising from default and to ensure that securities are purebred and sold at the best price available in the competitive marketplace. Speci~I care is therefore required in selecting depositories and securities dealers for purposes of investment tmmactions. The GFOA recommends that: 1. Depositories. custodians, and dealers be. selected or qualified through competitive procedures, including requests/or proposals for banking services. Securities dealers conducting transactions with governmem~ entities be required to comply with the Federal Reserve Ba~ic of New York's c~pital adequacy, guidelines as a condition of doing business. Before investing public funds, governmental investors should obt~n compliance cenitic~tions from the dealer and an independent auditor. . 3. Governmental investors secure acknowledgement from their depositories and dealers that they have received written copies of their investment policies. portfolio risk constraints, and investment trading requirements. -t Governmental investors be aware of remonablv foreseeable risks of rn~ket price loss. iiliquiditv, nonmarketabili .ry. or default of investment instruments before ~hev purchme them. Additionally. ~ecurities dealers have a responsibility to disclose unremonable risks. · 5. Governmental investment officials seek competitive prices and yield quotations on investment securities prior to executing transactions. Adopted: June 3. 1986 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Policy. Statement and Recommended Practice Reourchase A~reements Repurchase agreements Crepos~ are the sale by a bank or dealer of a government seCUrity, with the simultaneous agreement to repUx'chase the security, on a later date. Repos are commonly used by public entities to secure money market r.-,te~ of interest. The Government Finance Officers Association (GI:'OA) ~.firrn~ that repurchase agreements are an integral part of an investment program of st:,te and local governments. Furthermore. public finance officers are encouraged to develop policies aud procedures to insure the s-',t'erv or' such investments. Governmental entities and investment officers should exercise special caution in selecting parties with whom they will conduct repurchase transactions, and be able to identify, the parties acting as principals to the transaction. Proper collateralization practices are necessary., to protect the public funds invested in repurchase a§reements. Risk is si§nificantiy reduced by delive~ of underlying securities throu.ah physical delivery. ()r safekeeping with the purchaser's custodian. Over- collateralization, commonly called "haircuts." or marking-to-market.practices should be mandatory, procedures. To protect public funds, the GFOA wfil work with. securities dealers, banks, and their respective associations, to promote improved repurchase agreement procedures through master rcpurchase agreements that protect purchasers' interests, universal standards for delivery, procedures, and written risk disclosures. GFOA recommends general use of master repurchase agreements, subject to appropriate legal and technical review. Governments using the prototype agreement developed by the Public Securities Association should include appropriate supplemental provisions regarding delivery., substitution, margin maintenance, margin amounts, seller representations and governing law. Despite contractual agreements to the contr.nry, receivem bankruptcy, courts and federal agencies h.nve inter/ered with the liquidation oi repurch~e agreement collateral. There/ore. the GFOA encourages Congress to eliminate statutory and regulatory obstacles to perfected security, interests and liquidation of repurch~e collateral in the. event of default. Adopted June 3, 1986 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Policy. Statement and Recommended Practice Collateraiiza~ign or' Public D(~oosits The Fina.ncial Institutions l~eform. Recovery., and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FTRREA) imposes certain limitations on collateral a~eements between fip~nciai irmtitUtions and public entities to provide adequate collateral for public entities to secure sizeable'public urtit deposits.~ Recent judicial opi~orm indic, ate flint, under ce~i~ circumstances.. the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) would th~ be able to " avoid a perfected security, interest and leave the public' depositor with only the rig~ht to shoe with other creditors in the ~ distribution of the assets of a f~iled instimtiort. FIRREA provides that a depositor's securiw agreement which tends to diminish or defeat the interest of the FDIC in an asset acquired by it as receiver of an insured depository, shall not be valid against the FDIC unless the agreement (1) is in writing, (,2) was executed by {he depository, institution and any person claiming adverse interest thereunder. contemporaneously with the acquisition of the asset by the depository, institution. (3) was approved by the hoard of directors of the depository, or its loan committee and (4) has been. continuously, from the time of its execution, an official record o,f the depository, institution. · In addition. FIRREA also appears to offer no other right to a public entity when a security, agreement is deemed unenforceable other than as a ~ distributee of the assets of the failed financial institution. The Government Finance Officers Association CGFOA) uraes state and local government depositors to take ail possible actions to comply with the FIRREA requirements in order to ensure that their security interests in collateral pledged to secure deposits are enforceable against the receiver of a failed fi/aancial institution. GFOA strongly urges that federal statutory, and re_malatory, limitations which"restrict the sovereign ability of public entities to protect collateralized funds be removed. Adopted: May 4, 1993 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Coll~teraii~;afi~n of Public Deoosits SafeLy of public funds should be the foremost objective in mnn.n..vlng public fuads. Collateralization of public deposits through pled_ping of appropriate securities is the only way to fully guarantee, the sa~e .ty of such. deposits. Additionally. public entities Should implement programs of prudent risk control. Such programs could include a formal depository, risk policy., credit analysis and use of fully secured investments. Statewide c°ilateraiization programs have generally proved to be cost effective and beneficial for both the public sector and its depositories. In the absence of an effective statewide collateral program, local officials should establish and implement collateralization procedures. --. Adopted: June 2. 1987 GOVER~IMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Use of Various T~es of Mutual Funds bv Public Cash Managers Government cash managera can sometimes benefit from investing public funds through., regulated mutual funds. Portfolio diversification, liquidity, and profe~ional manag_ement 'are desirable features of these investment vehiclea.. Investor~ ming mutual funds "should study the fund's prospecma and statement of additional irdormafion to determine " · the integrity, and experience of the investment company, · sales fees and operating expenses. · fundamental portfolio policies, and · portfolio composition. Government cash managers should use special care when investing in bond mutual funds. Mutual funds investing excluaivelv in short- and intermediate-term instrumencs may be appropriate investments in some jurisdictions. However, mutual funds investing in long- term securities should be avoided by investors of short-term funds. Market price riska could impair the safety, of assem, which is the foremost objective of public cash manage~. The Government Finance Officers Association has endorsed the use of money market mutual funds by public cash manauers through the association's model investment legislation -' for state and local governments. This statement is intenc~ed to clarify and supplement the Government Finance Officers/~sociation's re, oriel legislation. Adopted: June 2. 1987 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Policy Statement and Recommended Practice :.. -; ~' Federal Re_,auiation of of [nve,slment Advisers Some state and local governments have augmented their investment programs by retaining investment advisers to perform various portfolio services ranging from advice-only consultation to fully discretionary, management. In many cases, the results of these engagements have been favorable; but there have' also been cases of reported investment losses resulting from governmental units transacting business with certain investment advisers. Unlike the highly re~lated bank trust and mutual fund sectors, federal regulatory inspection of independent investment advisers is presently infrequent and relatively superficial. The Government Finance Officers Association tGFOA) has consistently recom- mended that state and local governments exercise caution in their selection of investment advisers and implement an ongoing risk control management program. The Association urges governmental entities considering or retaining independent investment advisers to carefully review the credentials, procedures, and controls o£ firms offering investment advisory, services. Recommended precautionary, measures include delivery versus payment. third-par.fy custody arrangements, prohibitions against sell~-dealing audits, timely reconciliations, and other appropriate internal control measures. GFOA supports federal legislation amending the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to provide the additional resources and authority required by the Securities and E.xchange Commission to perform more frequent inspections and more thorough oversight of advisers who conduct transactions involving governmental funds. GFOA further recommends that such let, islation include express suitability anti bonciing requirements for investment advisers.

Some state and local laws and practices inhibit the abilldes of state and local govemmem$ to benefit from safe and high-yielding investment i~trumenta... The Government Finance Officer~ Association encourages state legialatares to remove artificial restrictions upon the efficiem investment of public funds by: 1. .amaending state statutes re_~alating local government investment authority, to permit prudent investment of public funds in prime money market irtstruments and investment secm'itie~, such as: U.S. Government obligations. U.S. · ' Government agency, obligations. U.S. Government instrumemaiity obligations. Canadian government obligations (payable in local currency), repttrch~e .... agreemenm~ certificates of deposit, saving :md loan association deposits. prime bankers acceptances, prime commercial paper, investment-grade obligations of state, provincial and local government~ and public authorities. and money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exch:mge · Commission and whose portfol[os consist only of domestic securities. 2. Authorizing and encouraging the efficient, prot'essionai investment of public funds in statewide investment pools to take advantage of portiolio diversification and liquidi.ty. In addition to state-administered investment pools, states should effectn'ely promote investment pools through joint powers statutes and other "intergovernmental agreement" legislation. Adopted: June 2Z3. 1992 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Use of Derivatives bv State and Local GovernmerlI,5 A derivative is a financial instrument created from or whose value depends on (is deriv, ed froml the value of one or more underl.ving assets or indexes of asset values. The :... term "derivative products" refers to instruments or fen .rexes such as collateralized mortgage 'obligations (CMOs), interest-only (IOs) and prindpal-only (POs), forwards, futures, currency and interest rate swaps, options, floaters/inverse floaters, and caps/floors/collars. State and local governments are potential users of derivatives in thehr roles as debt, c~shL and pension fund managers. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) urges government finance officers to exercise extreme caution in the use of derivative instruments and to consider their use only when they have developed a sufficient understanding of the products and the expertise to manage them. Because new derivative products are increasfla~y complex, state and local governments considering derivatives should use these instrnments only if they can 'evaluate the following factors, among others, to determine the appropriateness of derivative use for their jurisdiction: ' I. Government entities must observe the objectives of sound asset and liability. management policies that ensure safety., liquidity., and yield. Because of the risks involved, the use of derivatives by government entities should receive pardculax scrutiny. Certain derivative products may not be appropriate for all government investors. Characteristics of such products can include: · high price volatiliLy: · illiquid markets: " · products that are not market-tested; · highly ieveraged products: · products requiring a high degree of sophistication to mamage: and - products that are difficult to value. 2. Government entities should understand that state and local laws may not specffica~y address the use of derivatives. Therefore, analysis should include an ex.~mlnafion of considerations, such as: · The constitutional and statutory, authority of the governmental entity to execute derivative contracts. - The potential for violating constitutional or statutory, provisions limiting the entitv's authority, to incur debt resulting/rom the transaction. * The application of the government entitv's procurement statutes to derivative transactions. 3. 'Government entities should be aware of the risks incurred as a result of use of derivatives. These include, in addition to legal risk. counterparty credit risk. custodial risk. market risk. settlement risk and operating risk. 4. Government entities should establish internal controls for each .type of derivative in use to ensure that these risks are adequately managed. Examples include: · The entity, should provide a written statement of purpose and objectives for derivative use. · Written procedures should be established that provide for periodic monitoring of derivative instruments. · Managers should have sufficient expertise and technical resources to oversee derivative programs. Periodic training should be provided. · Recordkeeping systems should be sufficiently d~tailed to allow governing bodies, auditors, and examiners to determine if the program is functioning in accordance with established objectives. · Managers should report regularly on the use of derivatives to their governing body, and appropriate disclosure should be made in official statements and other disclosure documents. · Reporting on derivative use sho,~ld be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Became use of these instruments is a complex matter, early discussion with public accountants is essential. Specialized reporting may be required. 5. Government entities should be aware if the broker or dealer with whom they are dealing is merely acting as an agent or intermediary in a derivative transaction or is taYd. nga proprietary, position. Any possible corfflict of interest should be taken into consideration before entering into a transaction. 6. Government entities should be aware that there m~y be little or no pricing . information or stmqdardiz~tion for some derivatives. Competitive price comparisons are recommended before entering into a tramaction. 7. Government entities should exerche c~ution in the/r selection of brokers, dealers or investment managers and ensure that these age,nts are knOWledgeable about. understand, and provide disclSsure regarding the use of derivatives, including benefits and risks. The entity should secure written acknowledgement from the broker or dealer that they have received, read. and understood the enfity's debt and investment 'policies. including whether derivatives are currently authoY/zed under the entity's investment policy., and that the broker, dealer or investment manager has asr.~ined that the recommended product is suitable for the government enfi .ry. 8.

Adopted: June 7. 1994 GOVER~NMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Market Risk f V~latilitv) Ratifies · Governments have long relied on credit ratings as an independent analyticalsoun:e to gauge the credit risk of an. invest~'nent option. However. credit risk analysis alone is not sufficient to safeguard against the assumption of other risk components, including market, interest ram. and liquidity risks. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) encourages investors to augment inlbrmation'they receive t?om brokers, dealers or advisors with independent research when conducting due diligence of potenual investments, lntbrmation sources include historical trading ranges, trend and volume data. brokerage lirm research, cash flow and present value analysis, and credit ratings and research. Thxough the securitization and structuring process. AAA rated securities and funds also may carry, extreme market and other risks that are wholly unaddressed by credit ratings. Rating agencies now provide market risk ratings that evaluate the volatility of the security under a wide range of potential interest rate and mortgage prepayment scenarios. Risk components, such as interest rate. prepayment, credit, spread and liquidi .ty. and currency risks arc analyzed to assess how aggressively the lhnd uses derivatives and lcveraging, and what risks their use presents to fund managers and investors in the fund. Results indicate the degree or' potential variability in the prospective fund pcrlbrmancc. ! [istoricai perlbrmanct: and volatility l'und returns relative to appropriate benchmarks also are evaluated. Market risk ratings when also applied to individual collateralized mortgage obligations {CMOs} provide a usefi~l benchmark to government entities as they establish guidelines tbr prudent management of derivative investments. GFOA encourages investment in only those funds that seek market risk ratings from rating agencies to provide comprehensive disclosure of risks to public investors. Although volatility ratings currently are not mandatory., public investors may wish to conside, r limiting their investments to CMOs and funds that have received Ihvorable volatility ratings from a nationally recognized rating agency. Adopted: June 13. 1995 GOVEI~NMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Reverse Rer~urchase A-,__reements. Lever~lzin~. and Prudent lnve~ment Prnctices for Cash,Mana_~emen~ Losses of public l~nds have occurred as the result of the inappropriate use of reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos.~ in leveraging porttblios to increase investment returns and as a result of other unsound investment practices. In a reverse repo. an investor owns securities, such as a Treasury. note. U.S. government agency bond or other security, that a bank or dealer purchases under an agreement to sell back to the investor on a speciticd date. at an agreed-upon interest rate. Reverse repos generally have two basic uses: lirst, reverse repos may be one way to avoid liquidating a pomblio to meet unexpected or immediate cash flow requirements. This straightlbr~vard use of the instruments is accepted by most public finance officers as a legitimate cash management practice. The second, potentially more controversial, use of the revers~ repo is to enhance ponlblio returns through the purchase of securities financed through repurchase transactions. The cash obtained can then be invested in another higher-yielding instrument. The conservative and prudent approach to this use of reverse rcpos involves short-term contracts in which the term of the reverse rcpo is matchcd with thc maturity of the rcinvestment. Reverse rcpo proceeds generally should not be invested in securitics whose maturity does not match the term of thc reverse repo, For example, borrowing short to lend long can produce losses in adverse markets. Further. the poss~bilipy, exists that other lhctors can go ~vrong, such as delhult by tile dealer or adverse market chan~es that erode the value of the underlying securities. 'rhe use of reverse repos should be considered only by entities that have the expertise and resources required to succcssthlly engage in the .technique. Additionally. state statutes may prohibit or discourage the use of reverse repos. The Government Finance Officers Association tGFOA) advises government officials who engage in reverse repos to verify, whether such uses of reverse repos are legally sanctioned. Other concerns that have been raised about such investment practices include purchasing securitics on margin ~ by borrowing funds from a counterparty. J, selling securities short tby borrowing the security from a third party and selling in anticipation of higher interest rates.l, purchasing long- term bonds with short-term funds, and trading futures contracts without an exact offsetting cash market position. GFOA discourages public officials from engaging in such investment practices. Adopted: June 13. 1995 GOVEPuNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice ' Mark-~o-market Prnctices for State and Local Government Investment Porttblio~ and Investment Pools ' As the investment pont'olios of slate and local governmenm are subjected to increased scrutiny, it is essential that reporting standards be enixanced so that investors, governing bodies and the public remain informed of the cunn:nt market value of the portfolio. State and local government ox'ficials responsible tbr investment portfolio reporting should determine the market value oi'all securities in the portt'olio on at least a quarterly basis. These values .should be obtained ti'om a reputable and independent source and disclosed to the governing body ,~r other oversight body at least quarterly in a written report. It is recommended that the report include the market value, book value and unxealized gain or loss or' the securities in the portfolio. Many state and local government officials are allowed to invest in various state and local government investment pools available in their state or region. Pool administrators should, on at least a monthly basis, determine the market value or' all securities'in the pool and report this intbrmation to all pool participants on at least a quarterly basis. These values should be obtained I¥om a reputable and independent source. This intbrmation should be included in the report to the governing body prepared on at least a quarterly basis. \doptcd: June 13. 19q5 GOVER~NMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Recommended Practice Master Trust and CustodiaJ Bank Security l.endin-_ Pro,rams The lending of securities helps to maintain an orderly market while providing incremental' income to the participant. Brokertdealers borrow primarily to cover lain (the non-delivery of a security expected to be delivered on a date cermim and short sales (the sale of a securi .ty not presently owned by the seller in order to take advantage ot'an expected lower market price') and to execute arbitrage transactions.

The collateral, which is usually cash. is reinvested at a rate higher than the rebate rate paid to the broker. The resulting proceeds are subsequently split between the lending agent and the client. A security lending transaction is similar to a reverse repurchase transaction and subject to many of the same ris~. While the indemnitications offered may va .ry, the lending agreement may provide that broker credit risk. broker delhult risk. and collateral maintenance are risks undertaken by the lending agent. The degree or' risk assumed by the lending agent generally is retlectcd in the split of proceeds. Lending agent credit risk. lending agent default risk and collateral reinvestment risks arc undertaken by ~he institutional client. Liquidity requirements are ozicn accepted by and uuaranteed by the lending agent upon one day's nouce, as substitutson or' tile lendinu client m large lending programs is easily accomplished and essentially risklcss.

Unsound collateral rcinvestment practi'ces can result in some master trust and custodial banks incurring losses on behalf or' their institutional security lending program customers. Additionaily, rapidly changing interest rates, lending short and investing long, investing in speculative derivatives, and paying a tixed rebate rate while investing in t'loating rebate rate securities under adverse market conditions are examples oz' situations that can produce investment losses. .Mas~er l'rust and Custodial Bank Security I.ending Pro~rnm~ t While investment strategies that include security, lending programs me not inherently risky when employed judiciously with ap[~ropriate precautions anti controls, the Government Finance Officers Association t GFOAI urges government officials to exercise extreme caution in their use of security lending programs.

Harden, City Manager FROM: ~ Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # CITY COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 23, 1996 EMERGENCY REPAIR LAKEVIEW GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION PUMP STATION DATE: January 16, 1996 ACTION City Commission is requested to waive bid requirements and award under emergency provisions of the Code, to Sullivan Electric and Pump, Inc. in the amount of $18,442 for repairs to the existing irrigation pump station at Lakeview Golf Course. Funding to come from account #446-4761-572-63.90. BACKGROUND The irrigation system at Lakeview Golf Course was inspected July 25, 1995. The odginal report and review by staff at Lakeview did not, at that time, indicate that the repair of the pump station was of an emergency nature. Mr. Arendt reviewed the report and the field conditions when he took over as Greens Superintendent for both courses in December. He and golf course management staff feel that repair of this system is critical at this time for safety reasons. A quote has been received from Sullivan Electric to complete the pump system repairs as required. Attached also are memos from Leonard Mass, the Course Manager at Lakeview, which outline the emergency nature of these repairs. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends waiver of bid requirements and award of the bid to Sullivan Electdc and Pump, Inc. in the amount of $18,442 for emergency repairs to the irrigation pump system at Lakeview Golf Course.

LAKEVIEW GOLF CLUB MEMORANDUM TO: Bob Barcinski~j~ FROM: Leonard Mass DATE: January 4, 1996: REVISED January 16, 1996 SUBJECT: Emergency Repairs to Golf Course Irrigation Pump Station Pursuant to our meeting, allow me to respond to questions raised by you and other City department managers. A. Electric Service The electrical service has been revised per discussion with City advisors from 200 Amp to 400 Amp, 230 Volt, as quoted by Sullivan Electric on their January 5, 1996 revised quote with drawings attached (see quote attached). The new service should be ample to handle our pump operation requirements. At no time will all three pumps be running. We have a 25 HP jockey pump, a 50 HP main pump and a 40 HP standby pump. The maximum load requirement (per Sullivan) for ~ pumps to operate at one time is 342 Amps, including start-up requirements. The 40 HP pump will operate by manual switch and only when the 50 HP is off. Given this operational configuration, the 400 Amp service should be more than adequate. B. New vs. Re-manufactured Equipment The quote specificallF states that all equipment is 'NEW" except as noted. The only items which are identified as "Re-manufactured" are the 250 gallon Hydro-pneumatic Tank and the 6" CLA Valve. If these items were purchased as new, the job quote would increase by $3,000 (tank) and $1,800 (valve) or $4,800. Therefore, by utilizing certain re-manufactured pieces, we are able to save the $4,800 and achieve the same results. I would like to point out that the equipment, new or re-manufactured, carries a full one year warranty from Sullivan, which is very important. C. Items added within the Quotation Since the original quote was received on December 27, 1995, the January 5, 1996 revised quote adds the following items within the original quoted price: I - Bladder (pressure) tank for Hydraulic station I - 6' mechanical flow meter D. Quotation Changes: The original quote of $14,642.38 is revised as of January 5, 1996 to 818,442.00. Please note, this revised quote does not include any work which may be required by FPL which could run between $1,200 to $2,000. As emphasized in my previous memo, the condition of the pump station is perilous with the potential of a failure of the main pressure tank very great. In addition, the electrical service is hazardous and could cause a serious accident to our personnel. I appreciate your help in expediting the repairs. Please let me know if there is anything more you need from me. Thank you. cc: Brahm Dubin Tom Arendt LAKEVIEW GOLF CLUB MEMORANDUM TO: Bob Barcinski ~li FROM: Leonard Mass DATE: December 28, 1995 SUBJECT: Emergency Repairs to Golf Course Irrigation Pump Station We have a very serious and potentially hazardous condition existing with our main golf course irrigation pumping station which requires immediate attention. The problem areas listed in priority of potential hazard a~e: A. Main Pressure Tank - The main pressure tank which carries pressures of 160 to 180 pounds per square inch has serious pitting and pin patching which impairs the integrity of the tank and its ability to withstand the required pressures. Should one or more of these defects give way, the tank could explode or "rocket" off its footing, causing serious damage or injury. Furthermore, I am told that the specifications on this tank (which is antiquated) do not meet current code compliance. B. Electrical Panels and Controls - The main control panels are seriously corroded and allow rainwater to enter the panels and pass over controls and wiring. This condition is potentially hazardous to our staff or anyone else entering into the irrigation compound. Furthermore, the safety latches are corroded and have been by-psssed causing anothel' potential problem. C. The system pumps and the manner' in which the system is configured causes a major pressu~e variation as the systems energizes itself. The "water hammer" effect caused by this "eithe~~ on or off" condition can potentially lift our piping out of the grou:ld or' cause "blow-outs" along the system. The CLA valves are not configured properly in the pump manifold layout and are too small in diameter (4" dia.) for the 8" pipe to which they are attached. The CLA valves need to be upgraded to 6" diameter (min). Page Two Bob Barcinski December 28, 1995 Bt'abm, Tom Areudt and myself ( as well as the Sullivan Electric folks) are very conce~ned about this situation and need your help to resolve it quickly. The attached exhibits are: A. Sullivan Electric's Proposal dated July 25, 1995 which discussed some of these problems and upgradin9 the pump station. Estimated B. Su]] ivan Electric's Proposal dated December 27, 1995 which addresses the current problems and details the work necessary to bring the station to a safe and operational condition. Firm Quote $~4,642.38 Sullivan is prepared to begin work the week of January 1996 if we can give them the O.K. within a day or two. Please let me know if you need any more information or waist to discuss t~,is situation with Tom Arendt and myself. cc: B~ahm Dubin Tom Arendt ullivan lectric & Pump, Inc. 2115 7fl~ Ave North Bay 8, Lake Worth, FL 4.07-588-5886 F,~x 407-582-9344 PROPOSAL DATE: January 5,1996 Quotation # :T95599-C Phge 1 of 2 SUBMITTED TO ' PROJECT/JOB: Lake Vie,v Golf Course Irrigation Pump Station 1200 Dover Road Delray Florida 33444 Attn.

The property is encnjmbered by an unusual easement in favor of Palm Beach County, which was reserved in 1968, prior to the construction of 1-95, to guarantee the County access to Lake Ida Park. Since 1-95 has been constructed and the County retained access to Lake Ida Park over property located west of the Dekay Islands, Inc. property, we have petitioned the County to abandon the Easement. We requested and obtained from the City of Delray Beach Engineering Department an acknowledgmem that the City has no objection to the proposed abandonment. Nevertheless, Paul King of the County Attornefs office has requested a formal resolution from the City acknowled~ng that it has no objection to the abandonment. I am enclosing for your information a complete copy of the Abandonment Petition, with all exhibits, including the letter from the City of Delray Beach En~neer. Please contact me as soon as you have had an opportunity to review these materials, so that we can determine the appropriate procedure for obta/ning the City's resolution as quickly as possible.

Deed of May 7, 1968, and ar~ached as Exhibit 13, is az follows: " The party of the first part [Palm .:-t .... ....~ Beach County] reserves a fight of '~ ingress and egress across said land ':: between Lake Ida Road and Lake Ida Park, said reservation being -; ""~- necessary because 1-95 may be so · . -' --- located as to make a pan of said ": Park otherw'.~se imccessible. ~ .:: The 1-95 fight-of-way in the vicinity of the subject property and Lake Ida Road was .: constructed ia the 1970's and docs not interfere in any way with the acc_ss of the public W " Lake Ida Park via Lake Ida Road. As shown on the aerial photograph (Exhibit 14), adequate ..' access to Lake Ida Park is provided at two locations which are not pan of the easement area. i: Therefore, the easement, which may have been necessary when it was reserved in 1968, is now ..i: unnecessary and obsolete. Moreover, land which is subject to the casement'does not provide . ingress or egress to Lake Ida Park, as it is separated from the park by the lake Worth Drainage -' District FA Canal. : The specific, stated intent of the easement was to provide access to Lake Ida Park, ff ' -":; required. It was not the intent of the easement to provide access to the body of water known ,:- as Lake Ida. Adequate public access to Lake Ida Park exists and will not be affected in any way :?' .i by the easement abandonment, and the public will continue to have adequate access to Lake Ida -fi: by way of Lake Ida Park. " The Petitioner intends to sell the subject property to a third party, and the proposed ':" easement abandoment is necessary to clear title to the property. Particularly in light of the fact that the easement no longer serves any public purpose, Palm Beach County should have no objection and should support our request. .; Regarding the privilege fee referenced ia Paragraph 15 hereof, Ordinance No. 86-18 · '. '.' ':' '" states in Section V.(6) that the privilege fee "shall not apply to petitions submitted by the following: (a) the fee simple owner of the property subject to an easement.' la this case the · ' . .. '. petitioner, Delray Islands, Inc., is the fee simple owner of the properly. By the clear terms of -: :- .. "-.' the ordinance, a privilege fee docs not apply for an ingress/egress easement for which the :..7 ... -- ' i:;..~ County no longer has any need; the public now has adequate access to Lake Ida Park, directly -" ':' '.?': · ' : .."i from Lake Ida Road. By the terms of Ordinance No. 86-18 (Section V.(2).), the privilege fee " : ': :'..: applies to "the abandonment of the interest of the County and public in and to any fight of way '~i! in a deed, and not a fight of w~y.

The Historic Preservation Board considered this item on December 20, 1995, and voted unanimously to deny the COA. Previous to the HPB meeting, the proposal was reviewed by the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Downtown Development Authority in December of 1995. Both gave unanimous approval for the renovations. The HPB decision was that the proposed renovations do not meet the criteria for alterations to historic buildings, and do not enhance the historic character of the Old School Square complex. They cited incompatibility with the Historic Preservation Ordinance, LDR Section 4.5.1(E) (1) (2) (3) (4), the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Design Guidelines The Board recommended that the proposal be tabled to allow the applicant to return with revised plans which would be compatible to the criteria for alterations. This suggestion was unaccept- able to the applicant. The letter of appeal outlining the applicant's arguments for reversing the HPB decision is included with the background documentation. Recommend consideration of the appeal of the Historic Preserva- tion Board's denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed exterior renovation of the two historic buildings at 2 East Atlantic Avenue and 11 South Swinton Avenue. Memorandum To: David Harden, City Manager ./9 From: Lula Butler, Director, Community Improvement ~) Date: January 17, 1996 Subject: Request for Extension of Timeframe Established Under the Approved Annexation Agreement for Reduced Water & Sewer Connection Fees - North Federal Highway Property ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION: Consideration of a request from Marilynn and Jay Cart for a 60-day extension to the 90-day timeframe approved under their Annexation Agreement to take advantage of the reduced rates to connect to the City's water and sewer services. BACKGROUND: Several of the properties annexed into the City along the North Federal Highway corridor have approved annexation agreements in place that provided for certain benefits such as reduced connections fees associated with the availability of water and sewer services. Mr. & Mrs. Cart are owners of the property addressed as 2101 North Federal Highway. They received formal notice of the availability of water and sewer on December 22, 1995 thus requiring them to connect by March 20, 1996 if they are to utilize the reduced rates. The Florida Inland Navigation District is negotiating with them to acquire their property. They are hoping to finalize the sale within the next three to four months; therefore, they are asking for a 60-day extension to the 90-day timeframe imposed for taking advantage of the reduced connection fees. Staff believes the request is reasonable. The agency (FEND) has acquired the property fronting Federal Highway; the Carr's property is the rear parcel. Their letter requesting the extension is attached for your reference. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the request to extend the 90-day timeframe for utilizing the reduced connection rates as approved under the Annexation Agreement, subject to an approved instrument documenting the amendment by the City Attorney's office.

BACKGROUND: In late 1992, the City filed a complaint for forfeiture with the Palm Beach County Nuisance Abatement Board against 17 NW 5th Avenue. The complaint was heard on August 17 and September 21, 1992 with the final decision to close the apartment complex being made at the latter meeting. The City received a final Judgement of Forfeiture and transfer of ownership from Judge Mary Lupo on April 2, 1993. We were required to pay all mortgage debt owed on the property, thus a Satisfaction of Mortgage for the amount of $130,000 was issued on July 28, 1993. The CRA had the property appraised for its land value. Therefore, they are proposing to acquire the property from the City for the appraised property value of $29,200 plus the cost of demolition of the building estimated at $10,000. The property will be used to construct a public parking lot in support of the Peach Umbrella Block redevelopment activities. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is submitting this item for City Commission consideration. LB:DQ q.F. Community Redevelopment Agency Delray Beach January 9, 1996 Mr. David Harden City Manager City of Delray Beach 100 NW 1st Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 RE: Shatz Property NW 5th Avenue Dear Dave: As you know the CRA and the City have placed a high priority on the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. In an effort to make this redevelopment area more economically viable, the CRA would like the City to consider the City selling the above-referenced property to the CRA for the construction of a parking lot. We have an opportunity to provide much needed parking for the area as well as a local business, Parker's Kitchen, who would like to build a 150-seat restaurant on West Atlantic on the Peach Umbrella block. Parker's proposes to build a 3,000 square foot restaurant and has received preliminary approval from two lenders, First Union Bank and the Black Business Investment Corporation, for financing. Together with CRA monies and with a pending County economic development grant for Parker's, we could build a 30-space lot on the Shatz lot and the Davis lot (south of Shatz). Enclosed please find a site plan of the proposed parking lot. To date we have had a survey completed, an appraisal done, and a Phase I environmental study. Enclosed are copies of these documents. Subject to the CRA Board's approval, we would like to pay the City $29,200 for the land and $10,000 ~r demolition costs. If this is acceptable to the City, I will have Bob Federspiel draw up a f/~hl contract for the purchase of this property. / / OUrS, ~ Clgrist opher~JwBroWK~ - Executive Director /d Enclosures 24 N.

When the Silver Terrace redevelopment plan was discussed at the Commission workshop meeting in October, this property was mentioned as a possible site for relocation of Rusty's Plumbing. Rusty's is currently located along Dixie Highway on a five-lot parcel that totals approximately 7/10 of an acre. Those lots could then be used for residential purposes, which would help to stabilize the housing in the area. City staff inspected the premises and discussed the possibilities of the relocation with Rusty Warren, owner of Rusty's Plumbing. Mr. Warren's position is that he would consider moving if the Sunshine Tool Repair site was substantially upgraded. Both the building and the site are in disrepair; particularly the electric wiring, roof and parking area. Mr. Warren further stated that he would require a 2,000 square foot addition to the existing building. At this time the U.S. Marshal's office would like an indication of the City's interest in purchasing the Sunshine Tools property for the relocation of Rusty's Plumbing. It would be beneficial to the City's plans; however, the costs involved are substantial. Recommend consideration of the purchase of the Sunshine Tool Repair property for the relocation of Rusty's Plumbing. ,5'-0 CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION TO: D~,~ID~ T. HAR[~N, CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING4~ND ZONING SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 1996 CONSIDERATION OF OFFER BY THE U.S. MARSHALS SERVICE TO PURCHASE PROPER ,TY LOCATED AT 200 S.E. 10TH ST. (FORMER SUNSHINE TOOL REPAIR SITE) ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is that of providing direction regarding the potential of purchasing property located at 200 S.E. 10th Street (former Sunshine Tool Repair building). BACKG ROU N D AN D DESCRIPTION: The subject property has been seized by the U.S. Marshals Service and its disposition is part of the negotiations in an ongoing court case. The U.S. Attorney's Office has offered to sell the property to the City for $80,000, which would enable them to move forward in settling the case (see attached letter from the U.S. Attorney). The property consists of Lots 23, 24, and 25 of the Silver Terrace subdivision, and is approximately 4-tenths of an acre in size. It contains a 2,300 square foot building that was formerly occupied by Sunshine Tools lawn mower sales and service. The last sale of the building and property was for $130,000 in 1983. The current tax-assessed value is $35,934. The property is currently zoned RM (Medium Density Residential) and is within the Silver Terrace Redevelopment Area. The redevelopment plan that is currently being drafted would allow for the commercial use of the property. When the Silver Terrace redevelopment plan was discussed at the City Commission workshop meeting in October, this property was mentioned as a possible site for the relocation of Rusty Plumbing, which is currently located along Dixie Highway, on a 5-lot site that totals approximately 7-tenths of an acre. Those lots could then be used for residential purposes, which would help to stabilize the housing in the area. Following the receipt of the letter from the U.S. Attorney, City staff inspected the premises and discussed the possibilities of the relocation with Rusty Warren, owner of Rusty Plumbing. Mr. Warren's position is that he is satisfied with his current location, and has recently invested in improvements to his building. However, he would consider moving if the Sunshine Tools site was substantially upgraded. City Commission Documentation Sunshine Tool Repair Page 2. Construction Manager Jose Aguila worked with Mr. Warren and his contractor regarding the necessary improvements. Both the building and the site are in disrepair, particularly the electric wiring, the roof, and the parking area. In addition, Mr. Warren has stated that he would require a 2,000 square ft. addition to the building in order to make it work for his business. Attached is a memo from Jose describing the necessary improvements, as well as a rough estimate from Mr. Warren's contractor of close to $250,000 for the repairs and addition. At this time, the U.S. Marshal's office would like an indication of whether or not the City wishes to pursue the purchase of the building. It would be beneficial to the City's plans for the area if we were able to relocate Rusty Plumbing, however the costs involved are substantial. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide direction regarding the potential purchase of the Sunshine Tool Repair property.

The roof has serious deterioration and some leaks are present. 3. The parking situation is not per code and backs up onto SE 10th. street. 4. All of the electrical wiring is in violation of code and must be removed and new electrical wiring provided. 5. There are a number of ADA and other accessibility problems, including size of public restroom facilities, access and others. Mr. Warren agreed to consider the Cities request and had several meetings with his contractor to develop a scope of his needs, and establish an opinion of cost for construction at the new location. Attached is an estimate from a general contractor on the cost to do the minimum required/expected work. The work anticipated includes: Selective demolition 2000 SF addition Electrical Interior Partitions Plumbing HVAC Interior finishes doors & windows New roof New signage Site work, parking Landscaping etc. Mr. Warren would also require the following: 1. An even swap of land or lot size with clear title. 2. A current survey of the property. 3. A current EPA Certification on the property. 4. Would like to retain access to Miami Boulevard for egress. 5. Would like the City to waive all fees associated with reviews, permits, impact or connection fees and meters. 6. Not be responsible for the demolition of his existing building. Please let me know if you wish me to proceed any further on this matter. I am of the impression that Mr. Warren is interested in this proposal. File: memo to planning director JAN--Ii--96 TUE 02:~?

The current owner is in Oklahoma, and we have had great difficulty getting the necessary signatures on the replat. Since the contract purchaser is local, we suggested that the sales transaction proceed to closing and the documents necessary to move the easement could be executed by the new owner. Therefore, the Commission is requested to approve exchanging the easement on the north end of the property for a 24 foot easement across the south end of the property. I recommend that the City Commission approve releasing the 24 foot public access easement for recreational purposes across the north end of The Corniche Replat in exchange for a like 24 foot easement across the south end of the replat, subject to approval by the City Attorney of the necessary legal documents. ref:agmemo7 MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: CITY MANAGER'S'I SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM ~ ~-- - MEETING OF JANUARY 23. 1996 REJECTION OF BIDS/GREENBRIER DRIVE UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS DATE: JANUARY 18, 1996 This is before the Commission to consider rejecting all bids received for the Greenbrier Drive utility improvements project. The original scope of work was to have included construction of both an 8 inch water main and an 8 inch sanitary gravity sewer. Following receipt of the bids, however, the scope of the work was significantly reduced to eliminate the sanitary sewer portion of the project. This due to easement acquisition problems and budget constraints. The revised scope of work generally consists of the water main construction, including laterals, on Greenbrier Drive and the restoration of several existing driveways and sodded swale areas. The work will be done by City forces. At the January 9th regular meeting, Commission postponed action on this item until the Greenbrier Drive residents were notified of the change to the scope of the project.

Harden, City Manager City of Delray Beach 100 N.W. 1st Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 Dear Mr. Harden: It is with deep regret that ! must resign for my appointment to the Planning and Zoning Board. My resignation is effective January 23, 1996, the day after the regular January meeting of the Board. The new appointee should have the opportunity to attend the town meeting January 30th. It has been a real pleasure to be a resident of our All American City and to have been associated with so many fine people. The time spent as a volunteer with the Delray Beach Playhouse, the City government, and the Delray Beach Police has been very rewarding. There are so many outstanding leaders in these contacts that to single out any one is not meant to slight others. Diane Dominguez, Director of Planning and Zoning will be missed because of her organization and the quiet manner she gets things done. Chief Overman, DBPD has to be the biggest success the City has accomplished in several years. His department is loaded with outstanding officers and the way they utilize and treat volunteers is "text-book". The City is fortunate right now to have a commission that pulls together and whose members work so tirelessly for the community. Hopefully that will continue. We are moving out of this area in late January to Lake Placid, FL but we will have many fond memories of your city. Sincerely, Robert L. Puzey cc: Diane Dominguez ~ Jay Alperin Robin M.

As required for SAD zoning, the ordinance provides for the uses which would be allowed on the site as well as for certain landscape and site improvements. In this instance, the SAD zoning is proposed for a specified time period of three years. The applicants would like to maintain as much flexibility as possible for the future development of the property, having it available for retail and commercial purposes as well as auto related uses. The intent is to have a permanent tenant established on the property within the three year time frame, after which an application will be submitted to rezone the site to the most appropriate standard zoning classification. This time frame will also allow for the adoption and implementation of the North Federal Highway redevelopment plan which is intended to stimulate interest in the corridor. The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at public hearing on December 19, 1995, and voted 4 to 0 to recommend that the SAD zoning be approved. At first reading on January 9th, the Commission passed the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 0. At the same time, Commission approved a waiver to the 15 ft. perimeter setback requirement on the south side of the property due to encroachment of existing buildings. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 2-96 on second and final reading, based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), and Section 2.4.5(D)(5)(c) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. ref: agmemol 1 ~LO~ ORDINANCE NO. 2-96 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED AC (AUTOMOTIVE COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT IN THE SAD (SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DISTRICT); SAID LAND BEING COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE MILLER DODGE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1900 NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; ESTABLISHING THE USES ALLOWED FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY UNDER THE SAD ZONING; GRANTING SITE PLAN APPROVAL WITH CERTAIN CONDITIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EXPIRATION DATE OF THE SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DISTRICT ZONING CLASSIFICATION; AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1994"; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

HARDEN, CITY MANAGER FROM: R DEPARTMENT OF PLANNINC~AND ZONING SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1995 CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AC (AUTOMOTIVE COMMERCIAL) TO SAD (SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DISTRICT) FOR THE MILLER DODGE PROPERTY ON NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is approval of a change of zoning pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(D). The subject property is located at 1900 North Federal Highway. The requested change is from AC to an SAD designation that would permit a combination of uses allowed in the AC and GC zoning districts. BACKGROUND: The property has been in a vacant and blighted condition since the late 1980's. The owners of the adjacent property to the north (DeeCar Patio Furniture) have contracted to buy the site, in order to expand their business onto a portion of it. They intend to market the remainder of the site to other businesses. The site is currently zoned AC, and would require a change to GC (General Commercial) for the patio furniture use. However, the owners also want to maintain the ability to market the site for potential automotive uses. The proposed SAD would allow the establishment of uses that are allowed in both the GC and AC zoning districts, with some modification. It would be applied for a period of three years, at which time the owners would need to apply for a standard zoning designation such as AC or GC. A requirement of the SAD would be to make the landscape and site improvements as indicated on the attached site plan and as described within the ordinance. These include the installation of landscape buffers along Dixie and Federal Highways, and the upgrading of the existing buildings. It was noted that a waiver to the 15' perimeter setback requirement is necessary due to the encroachment of existing buildings on the south side of the property. The attached ordinance provides a more detailed description of the uses and development standards that would apply to this SAD. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board Considered this item at its meeting of December 19, 1995. There was no public testimony regarding the rezoning, however, the Board was notified that several property owners in the North Federal area had phoned the Planning Department expressing their support for the planned improvements. The Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the change to SAD, subject to clarification of language regarding allowable conditional uses. RECOMMENDED ACTION: o By motion, approve the waiver to the required 15' perimeter setback for the south property line. o By motion, approve the rezoning of the Miller Dodge property from AC to SAD, based upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section 3.1.1, Required Findings, Section 3.3.2, Standards for Rezoning Actions, and Section 2.4.5(D)(5)(c), Valid Reason for Rezoning, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Prior to 1985, an automobile dealership (Miller Dodge) occupied the site, which was located partially in the City and partially in unicoprporated Palm Beach County. The use was nonconforming under the City's GC (General Commercial) zoning district. In early 1985, the unincorporated portion of the propery was annexed into the City and the entire site was rezoned to SC (Specialized Commercial). In December of 1988, Miller Dodge vacated the premises, and the buildings have since remained vacant. In April of 1991 conditional use approval was granted for the establishment of an auto repair facility (JBA Motorcars, Inc.). This facility was a full service vehicle repair operation that would specialize in the modification of foreign cars_t_o meet U.S. emissions standards. In April of 1992, SPRAB approved a site plan for the facility, which proposed facade alterations and the installation of a new parking lot and associated landscaping. The site plan approval was subject to a number of conditions, two of which (dedication of 10' along Dixie Highway and the requirement to install Type "D" curbing around landscaped areas) were appealed to the City Commission by the applicant. The City Commission voted to deny the appeal. The owner of JBA Motorcars, who had a contract to purchase the property, proceeded with the renovation of the structures. A dispute arose with the property owner, and the contract was terminated. The site was left in a blighted condition, and has remained that way ever since. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Properly Page 2 The development proposal is to rezone the Miller Dodge property from AC (Automotive Commercial) to SAD (Special Activities District), for a specified time period. The property is under contract to the owners to the north, who operate a patio furniture sales and refinishing operation. They plan to redevelop the site either by extending their existing building south onto the subject property, or building a new retail/commercial center. However, their immediate objective is to expand the refinishing aspects of their existing business into the buildings on the Miller Dodge property. The property is currently zoned for automotive uses, including new and used car sales, automotive repair, etc. In order to expand the patio business onto the site, a rezoning to GC is required. However, as currently proposed, that business would occupy only a portion of the property. The remainder of the site will be marketed to other tenants. The applicants would like to maintain as much flexibility in the future development of the property, having it available for retail and commercial purposes, as well as auto related uses. There are no zoning districts that permit that range of uses, therefore, the SAD zoning is being requested. As proposed, the SAD will allow all of the uses permitted in both the GC and AC zoning districts, with certain limitations on the sale of used cars. A sketch plan accompanies the submission, which provides for the initial improvements that are to be made to the site. The SAD is proposed as a temporary zoning, until such time that a permanent tenant is established on the property, for a maximum of three (3) years. This time frame will also allow for the adoption and implementation of the North Federal Highway plan, which is intended to stimulate interest in the corridor. The attached exhibit provides the details of the proposed SAD ordinance. REQUIRED FINDINGS: {Chapter 3): Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 {Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areas. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 3 Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The current Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is General Commercial. The requested zoning change is to an SAD designation that will allow uses as permitted in the AC and GC zoning districts, both of which are consistent with the General Commercial Future. Land Use designation. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to this section. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be pr_o_¥ided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. Streets and Traffic: With all rezoning requests, traffic inform, ation is required which addresses the development of the property under reasonable intensity pursuant to the existing and proposed rezoning. The existing and proposed zonings are of similar intensity, therefore a potential increase in traffic is not anticipated to result from the rezoning action itself. Additional traffic information will be required when a specific development proposal for the property is submitted. Water/Sewer: The proposed development will accommodate uses of similar intensity to currently approved uses and is anticipated to have similar water consumption and sewer generation rates. Water service is available from an existing 12" main along Federal Highway; sewer service can be obtained by connecting to an existing 8" main that runs along Dixie Highway. Parks and Recreation: Park dedication requirements apply to residential uses and therefore do not apply to the existing AC zoning districts or the proposed SAD zoning district. Solid Waste: The zoning change is to a category of similar intensity and therefore is anticipated to create similar solid waste generation. Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments which have been accounted for in their Comprehensive Plan. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 4 Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to propedy mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. The property is bordered by the following zoning designations and uses: Direction Zoning Uses North GC Dee-Car Patio Furniture West CF and RM Vacant site for future water . storage tank; duplexes South GC Arrow Trailer Park East RM Vacant; approved for townhouses There are no compatibility concerns noted with the surrounding uses. The combination GC/AC allowed uses are similar in intensity to other uses_in this section of North Federal Highway. Rezoning the site to allow for its redevelopment will enhance adjacent uses. Section 2.4.5(D)(5)(Rezonin~ FindinGs): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 5 b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more a~)~)ror)riate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The applicant submitted a justification statement as a part of the rezoning application. The statement indicates that the applicable reason is "c". The justification statement is provided below: "The applicant is requesting a change in the zoning of this property from (AC) to (SAD) with (GC) and (AC) designations. This request is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and the neighborhood. The subject parcel has been vacant in excess of five years and has several deteriorated buildings on it. The requested zoning would promote redevelopment of the North Federal Highway corridor by providing commercial and general retail uses which are more compatible with and will directly benefit the surrounding neighborhood. The current AC zoning given the size of the parcel is too limiting to allow for development of the parcel.' The existing AC zoning allows for a wide range of automotive related uses, including sales, rental and .repair. The added uses that will be allowed through the application of the SAD will include retail, service, and office type uses. All of these uses are typical of others in this corridor, and are appropriate given the General Commercial land use designation and the surrounding uses. The reason for providing this level of flexibility is to encourage the redevelo~r~ent of an extremely blighted site. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following was found: Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.6, in summary (see attached copy for complete policy), designates the North Federal Highway Corridor as a blighted area. It calls for the preparation of a corridor improvement program that will, among other objectives, promote the improved appearance of the area, provide for economic stimulation and investment in the area, and identify appropriate uses for parcels adjacent to Dixie Highway and the FEC railroad tracks. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 6 The Miller Dodge property is one of the most blighted properties in the North Federal area. Rezoning it to SAD on a temporary basis in order to stimulate private investment in upgrading its appearance is consistent with the above referenced policy, which was adopted with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95- 2. Preparation of the corridor plan described in the policy is underway. One of the main elements of that plan will be to provide flexibility for the use of sites adjacent to Dixie Highway, in order to encourage investment in and redevelopment of the corridor. Upgrading of the Miller Dodge property will go a long way toward achieving that objective. OTHER ISSUES Site Pi~.~ Requirement: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.25, SAD Review and Approval Process, all SADs are to be accompanied by a full site plan for the development of the property, including preliminary engineering and .landscape plans. At this time the applicants are unsure of the ultimate use and development of the property. In lieu of a full site plan, they have submitted a landscape plan for the east and west perimeters of the property, as well as a description of planned building improvements. The SAD ordinance will state that a full site plan must be submitted for approval by SPRAB in conjunction with any new development, or upon the occupation of the existing buildings on the site by any use other than Dee-Car Patio Furniture. Perimeter Setbacks for SADs Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.25(D)(1), a minimum setback of 15 feet shall be established around the perimeter of any property developed under the SAD designation. The front and side street setbacks must be a landscalSe-d area within which no pavement shall be allowed except for pedestrian ways and driveways. The landscape plan shows a 15' landscaped setback along Federal Highway, which complies with the requirement for the front setback. The 15' building setback requirement is not met on the south side of the property, where structures exist along the property line. These buildings comply with the current AC zoning district regulations, which do not require any interior side setback. It should also be noted that they comply with the requirements of the GC district, which also allow a zero interior side setback. The 15' setback requirement is also encroached upon to a minor degree at the southwest corner of the property, where a portion of the building is only 14' from the rear property line. This setback conforms with the 10' rear setback requirement of both the AC and GC P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 7 zoning districts. However, with the required 10' dedication of right-of-way along Dixie Highway, the building setback will range from 4' on the north end to approximately 19' on the south end. When the SAD zoning is applied, the existing interior side setback will become nonconforming, which will limit the potential for the expansion or improvement of the structures. As the zero interior side setback is consistent with the AC and GC zoning districts and is therefore typical of development standards in the North Federal area, the requirement for a 15' interior side setback should be waived. With regard to the rear setback, the nonconformity is being created as a result of a right-of-way dedication, and would occur regardless of the zoning designation. It should not affect the applicant's ability to improve the structure. RiRht'~f Way Dedications Federal Highway: According to the County's Thoroughfare Map and the City's Comprehensive Plan, the ultimate right-of-way for Federal Highway in the subject area is 120 feet. Currently only 100' is provided. Technically, the applicants should be required to provide'an additional 10' of right-of-way along the front portion of the property. It is noted that the Department of Transportation has developed plans for the improvement of North Federal Highway which include resurfacing, a reduction in median cuts, and provision of bikeways. All of the improvements are to be accommodated in the existing 100' right of way. The widening of North Federal Highway is not included in any of the County's improvement programs, nor has it been seriously contemplated. In light of this, it would be acceptable at this time to require that the applicants reserve rather than dedicate the right-of-way. Reserving the right-of-way means the Property will be available to the state if needed for future widening. Dixie Highway: There is also a need for 10' of right-of-way along Dixie Highway. Previously the ultimate right-of-way in this area was 80'. Given the limited use of the road, that width has been reduced to 40', which is minimal. Presently only 30' of ROW exists along the subject property. Additionally, part of the Dixie Highway pavement encroaches into the FEC right-of-way to the west. In order to ensure that the minimum right-of-way is available for this road section, a 10' dedication is required. Storage of Semi-Trailers There are currently several semi-trailers parked in the northwest quandrant of the property, which are being used for storage of furniture. The SAD provides for the removal of these trailers within 60 days of the approval of the zoning. P&Z Staff Repod Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 8 Landscape Plan Technical Comments The proposed landscaping along Federal Highway includes a silver buttonwood hedge and 12' Laurel Oak trees planted 25' on center. Along Dixie Highway, a 10' wide area planted with ficus hedge and Laurel Oak trees is proposed. The existing ficus hedge at the north end of the property is to be trimmed and/or replanted as necessary. The following revisions to the plan must be made prior to City Commission consideration of the rezoning: 1) The plans must indicate that the landscaping along Dixie Highway is to be planted out of the area that is to be dedicated for right of way. In addition, the existing chain link fence is to be relocated to the eastern edge of the ..-~10' landscaped strip, with the hedge planted against the fence. 2) The paved area at the southeast corner of the site is to be a landscaped area. 3) The trees along Federal Highway are to be planted toward the interior of the landscape strip. 4) Any exotic species on site are to be removed. 5) Indicate existing access points along Dixie Highway on the plans. I Community Redevelopment Agency The CRA considered the rezoning at its meeting of December 14, 1995.- The CRA supported the proposal, but recommended that the required improvements include patching and sealcoating the existing asphalt surface. Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Courtesy notices have been sent to: 1) Al Brook: La Hacienda Subdivision 2) Deborah Dowd: Northeast Neighborhood 3) Stanley Milosky, Loren Sheffer, and Robert Dittman: North Federal Highway Task Force P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 9 Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. The rezoning to SAD to allow a combination of uses permitted in other districts is unconventional, and under normal circumstances would probably not be contemplated. This proposal, however, deals with an extremely blighted site in an area 'that is slated for redevelopment. Any reasonable measure to accelerate the improvement and redevelopment of the site deserves consideration and a flexible approach. The SAD zoning will continue to allow the auto related uses that are currently permitted, as well as general commercial type uses. It will require the immediate upgrading of the site by the installation of perimeter landscaping and exterior improvements to the building. Future development of the site will be accomplished through the submission of a full site plan. ^. Continue with direction. B.

C. Recommend denial of a rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge property, based on a failure to make positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5), that the request does not fulfill one of the reasons for which a rezoning may be granted. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from AC to SAD for the Miller Dodge Property Page 10 By separate motions: A. Recommend a waiver of the 15' perimeter setback requirement for the south property line. B. Recommend approval of the rezoning of the Miller Dodge property from AC to SAD, based on positive findings with respect to LDR Section 3,'1.1, (Required Findings), Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) and Section 2.4.5(D)(5)(c) (Valid Reason for Rezoning), and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The above recommendation should be made subject to the condition that prior to City Commission consideration of the rezoning, a revised plan is submitted that addresses items 1-5 under the "Landscape Plan Technical Items" section of this report. Attachments: Proposed SAD Ordinance Language Sketch/landscape Plan · Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.6 Location Map · Zoning Map SAD ORDINANCE The following language is to be included in the ordinance that establishes the SAD zoning for the Miller Dodge property: (Section 1 provides the legal description to which the SAD zoning will be applied) Section 2 The uses allowed for the subject property pursuant to Section 4.4.25(B) of the Land Development Regulations of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, shall be as follows: 1.

The proposed text amendment is the result of a request from the owner of Turner Outdoor Equipment as part of an expansion plan for his current lawn mower sales and service operation on North Federal Highway. The sale and service of all terrain vehicles (ATV) and personal watercraft are currently allowed only in the Automotive Commercial zoning district, and have been lumped under the categories of sale, lease and rental of recreation vehicles and sale, lease and rental of boats. An argument can be made that ATVs and personal watercraft differ from RVs and boats as they are smaller and do not require large areas for outside display and storage. The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the request at the November 13th workshop meeting, and voted to initiate an LDR amendment which would allow these uses as a conditional use in the General Commercial district, subject to no outside display, storage or service. In considering the amendment at public hearing on December 19, 1995, the Board voted 4 to 0 to recommend that the text change be approved. At first reading on January 9, 1996, the Commission passed the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 0.

HARDEN, CITY MANAGER THRU: i R DEPARTMENT OF PLANNII~G AND ZONING FROM: PAUL DORLING, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1996 APPROVAL ON FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING LDR SECTION 4.4.9 (D) ADDING SALES AND SERVICE OF ALL TERRAIN VEHICLES, AND PERSONAL WATERCRAFT (WAVERUNNERS, JET SKIS ) AS A CONDITIONAL USE WITHIN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance amending Section 4.4.9 (D) of the Land Development Regulations (Conditional Uses in the General Commercial District) to add personal watercraft and all terrain vehicles as conditional uses. BACKGROUND: The owner of Turner Outdoor Equipment initiated the request as part of an expansion plan for his current lawn mower sales and service operation on North Federal Highway. During discussions with the Planning and Zoning Board the applicant presented arguments that All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are similar to lawn mower sales and are utilized as work vehicles for gardening and lawn care. The personal watercraft are similar to other retail items allowed for sale in the GC (General Commercial) zone district. ANALYSIS: The sale and service of both All Terrain Vehicles and personal watercraft are currently only allowed in the AC (Auto Commercial) zone district as permitted uses. These subject uses have been lumped under the categories of sale, lease, and rental of recreation vehicles and sale, lease and rental of boats. An argument can be made that All Terrain Vehicles and personal watercraft differ from Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and boats as they are smaller and do not require large areas for outside display and storage. In considering whether or not to allow these uses within the General Commercial zone district concerns with respect to location of display, storage and service areas must be addressed. Under Section 4.6.6 all uses within a commercial zone are to be conducted in a completely enclosed building. However, an outside display component is normally allowed and is limited to a maximum of 10% of the building square footage [Section 4.6.6 (C)(3)(b)]. It is recommended that with this particular conditional use all outside display and outside storage be prohibited. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the request at their November 13, 1995 workshop meeting at which time they recommended that a text change be initiated that would allow the new uses as conditional use verses permitted uses. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the LDR text change at their December 19, 1995 meeting. No one from the public spoke on this item and the Board unanimously (4-0) recommended approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, approve on first reading an amendment to LDR Section 4.4.9 (D) to add the sale and service of All Terrain Vehicles and personal watercraft (i.e. Waverunners, Jet skis) as a Conditional Use. Attachments * Proposed LDR amendment (D) Conditional Uses and Structures Allowed: The following uses are allowed as conditional uses within the GC District pursuant to the provisions of 2.4.5(E): (1) Adult Entertainment Establishments; [Amd.

The I.I.C. for 1996, applicable to Medicare services and fee schedules, is a three percent (3%) increase. The proposed rate changes are: Present Fee 3% Increase Total Round Q~f ALS $275.00 $8.25 $283.25 $280.00 BLS $205.00 $6.15 $211.15 $210.00 Mileage $5.00 per mile $0.15 $ 5.15 $ 5.15 The effective date for the increase is January 1, 1996. At first reading on January 9th, the Commission passed the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 0. As I mentioned at that time, the Medicare legislation is still being debated by the U.S. Congress. One of the proposals is to freeze ambulance charges for seven years. If that passes, then this rate increase cannot take effect and the fees will revert to those currently in effect. However, the Commission should go ahead and adopt the ordinance effective January 1, 1996, or else we lose the right to increase the fees at all. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 6-96 on second and final reading. ref: agmemo 10 Federal Inflation Index Calculation (I.I.C.)

The subject property is located south of Atlantic Avenue on the west side of Congress Avenue. Tract A is located within the southeast corner of Congress Park South. BACKGROUND: On October 24, 1995 the City Commission approved the rezoning of 14.62 acres from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) and LI (Light Industrial) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) for a portion of Congress Park South associated with the future expansion of the Levenger warehouse. This rezoning left Tract A and Tract E of Congress Park South with a zoning designation of PCC. As neither tract is appropriately zoned (does not contain appropriate uses nor meet minimum size requirements of the PCC), the Planning and Zoning Board initiated a rezoning of these tracts to OSR (Tract E) and MIC (Tract A). The rezoning of Tract A from PCC to MIC is the subject of this request, and Tract E is also before the Commission as a separate agenda item. City Commission Documentation Rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A of Congress Park South Page 2 ANALYSIS: The proposal is a City initiated rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A, a portion of Tract R (Commerce Drive) and Tract L-2 (common landscape area) located within the Congress Park South development. The parcel contains an existing industrial and warehouse building which became non-conforming with respect to the required land area of a PCC (10 acre minimum), perimeter landscape buffers, and the Light Industry component encompasses more than 50% of the total land area within the remaining portion of the PCC. The change to the requested zoning will allow the industrial building to become conforming under the MIC zone district. Additional background and analysis of the request can be found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its December 19, 1995 meeting. No one from the public spoke on this item and the Board unanimously (4-0) recommended approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, approve on first reading an ordinance rezoning Tract A, a portion of Tract R, and Tract L-2 of Congress Park South from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial), based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings) and Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), Section 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

The action before the Board is making a recommendation on a rezoning request from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) for Tract A, a portion of Tract R (Commerce Drive), and Tract L-2 (common landscape area) of Congress Park South, which contains approximately 5.35 acres. The subject property is located south of Atlantic Avenue on the west side of Congress Avenue. Tract A is located within the southeast corner of Congress Park South. Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. On May 24, 1983, the City Commission approved a land use change, rezoning from PRD-4 to PCC, Conditional Use, and Site Plan for Congress Park South. The development proposal included four office research and light industrial buildings with a total of 230,190 square feet. In 1986, one of the buildings was constructed on Tract A along with the internal roadways and underground infrastructure throughout the park. As these improvements constituted more than 25% of the total project, the project was considered vested. At its meeting of April 13, 1993, the City Commission approved a change in zoning from PCC to LI for 12.4 acres (approximately the western half) of Congress Park South to accommodate a distribution and warehouse development for Levenger's In May of this year, Levenger's discussed with the Planning Department a_p__[oposal to expand their existing facility. The expansion includes increasing the size of the existing facility by 99,000 square feet to accommodate additional warehouse space on Tract B, and a free standing 58,000 square foot pavilion on Tract D, that would contain a retail component. In order to accommodate the expansion, proposed uses and provide a unified development for Levenger, the Planning and Zoning Board at its October 16, 1995 meeting recommended to the City Commission a change in zoning from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) and LI (Light Industrial) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) for Tracts B, C, and D at Congress Park South. It was also identified in the rezoning staff report that Tract A with PCC zoning would be non-conforming with respect to the required land area of a PCC (10 acre minimum), perimeter landscape buffers, and because the Light Industry component would encompass more than 50% of the total land area within the remaining portion of the PCC. Thus, the Planning and Zoning Board initiated a rezoning of Tract A from PCC to MIC. At its meeting of November 7, 1995, the City Commission upon the second reading of the Ordinance rezoned Tracts B, C, and D from PCC to MIC. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A of Congress Park South Page 2 The owners of Tract A are in favor of the change in zoning to MIC. However, they questioned language found in the MIC zone district under the category of permitted uses entitled "Business Services", that such uses are permitted to the extent that the floor area for office use is limited to 25% of the floor area whether it is accessory to the industrial use or not. The existing 77,800 square foot structure contains approximately 27,000 square feet or 35% of the floor area devoted to offices. These offices are accessory to the primary industrial use and could become non-conforming if the property is rezoned. The Planning Director's interpretation of the code is that only the separate office uses listed in Sections 4.4.19(B)(2) Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate Services, and (3) Business Services within the MIC zone district [see attached Exhibit A for exact language], which are listed under distinct use categories are subject to the 25% limitation in floor area. Office uses that are associated with an industrial use (accessory use) would not be subject to the 25% limitation. This interpretation is consistent with language found in the I (Industrial) zone district wherein it states under Accessory Uses and Structures Permitted: business offices are allowed as an accessory use to the primary industrial 'use. It is also consistent with the current implementation of the MIC district regulations throughout the City. Rezoning Tract A and the associated access tract and common landscape area from PCC to MIC is the action now requested of the Board. The rezoning request is to accommodate an existing industrial building which became non-conforming under the PCC zoning when Levenger rezoned its project from PCC to MIC. REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3): Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development - application. These findings relate to the following four areas. Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A of Congress Park South Page 3 The current Future Land Use designation for the subject property is Commerce. The requested zoning change is from PCC to MIC. The proposed zoning designation of MIC is consistent with the Commerce Future Land Use designation. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. These levels of service involve Streets and Traffic, Water and Sewer, Parks and Recreation, Solid Waste and Drainage. As stated in the background section of this report, Tract A is vested with respect to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. The property is bordered to the north and west by MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) zoning, to the south by OSR (Open Space and Recreation - municipal golf course), and the east by RM (Medium Density Residential) and MIC zoning (located on the east side of Congress Avenue). There are no compatibility concerns noted with the municipal golf course located to the south of the subject property or the proposed Levenger's facilities to be located to the west and north of the subject property. With the rezoning of Tract A, all the tracts within Congress Park South will be zoned MIC. Congress Park South will still function as a unified development through an existing Property Owner's Association which already has agreements in place for common maintenance, cross access, etc. Existing landscaping will buffer the residential development to the east, which has not experienced any notable compatibility problems with the existing building to date. The MIC zone district allows similar uses to the PCC zone district (industrial, office, and limited commercial) with fewer limitations i.e. no restrictions with respect to required P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A of Congress Park South Page 4 land area, percentages of uses verses land area, etc. The MIC zone district also allows more intense uses such as monument and ornamental stone cutting, resource recovery facilities, and storage and rental of light construction equipment as conditional uses. However, no concerns are noted in this case, as the rezoning is being applied to an existing building that was specifically constructed for office and industrial uses. Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezonin¢l Findinqs): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; b.That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The justification for the City initiated rezoning is reason "b". Rezoning the other tracts within Congress Park South to MIC caused Tract A to become non-conforming with certain aspects of the PCC zoning. The current and proposed uses in Tract A will be conforming under the MIC zone district. Thus, there has been a change in circumstances which makes the current zoning inappropriate. · .... The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB (Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Courtesy notices have been sent to: · PROD · Golf View Condominiums P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from PCC to MIC for Tract A of Congress Park South Page 5 Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. The City initiated rezoning of Tract A of Congress Park South from PCC to MIC will eliminate a non-conforming PCC district which resulted from the rezoning of the Levenger property. The existing and proposed uses in Tract A will be conforming under the MIC zoning. The MIC zoning district is consistent with the Commerce FLUM designation. Required positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), Section 3.1.1, and the Performance Standards of Section 3.3.2 can be made.

The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Congress Park South, which is south of Atlantic Avenue on the west side of Congress Avenue. The proposed rezoning is a City-initiated corrective action to apply an appropriate zoning classification. The property contains an existing building which was converted to and is used as the maintenance shed for the municipal golf course. It is owned by the City, the tract having been donated to the City in 1983 by the developer. Neither the existing use nor the size of the parcel meet the requirements of the PCC district. The proposed OSR zoning is the same as the zoning applied to the golf course which abuts the tract to the south and west.

ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance for a City initiated corrective rezoning request from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to OSR (Open Space and Recreation). The subject property is a .8698 acre tract within the Congress Park South development located on the west side of Congress Avenue south of Atlantic Avenue. BACKGROUND: On October 24,1995 the City Commission approved the rezoning of 14.62 acres from LI (Tracts B & C) and PCC (Tract D) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) for a portion of Congress Park South associated with future expansion of the Levenger warehouse. This rezoning left Tract A and Tract E of Congress Park South with a zoning designation of PCC. As neither tract is appropriately zoned (does not contain appropriate uses nor meet minimum size requirements of the PCC) the Planning and Zoning Board initiated a rezoning of these tracts to OSR (Tract E) and MIC (Tract A). The rezoning of Tract E from PCC to OSR is the subject of this request and Tract A is also before the Commission as a separate agenda item. ANALYSIS: The proposal is a City initiated corrective rezoning from PCC to OSR for the .8698 acre tract within the Congress Park South development. The parcel contains an existing maintenance building utilized by the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course and owned by the City of Delray Beach. The proposed OSR zoning is similar to the zoning applied to the Delray Municipal Golf Course, which abuts the tract to the south and west. For additional background and analysis see attached Planning and Zoning staff report. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its December 19, 1995 meeting. No one from the public spoke on this item and the Board unanimously (4-0) recommended approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, approve on first reading an ordinance rezoning Tract E of Congress Park South from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to OSR (Open Space and Recreation), based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings) and Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), Section 2.4.5 (D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a City initiated corrective rezoning request from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to OSR (Open Space and Recreation). The subject property is a .8698 acre tract within the Congress Park South development located on the west side of Congress Avenue south of Atlantic Avenue. Pursu_an.t to Section 2.2.2 (E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. On May 24, 1983 the City Commission approved a Future Land Use Map Amendment from PRD-4 to PCC and a zoning change from PRD - 4 to PCC for Congress Park South (24.25 acres). On the same date the Commission also approved a conditional use and site plan request to establish 236,190 of warehouse/research and light industrial use in four separate buildings (Ordinance 32-83). The Congress Park South development was divided into five separate tracts (Tracts A-E) with four tracts containing industrial buildings and one an existing maintenance building (subject parcel- Tract E). On June 28, 1983 the City Commission accepted the donation of the subject tract by the developer. The existing building was converted to the maintenance shed for the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course. On October 25, 1983 the final plat for Congress Park South was approved. One of the four originally approved buildings has been constructed on Tract A. In 1993 a request was received to rezone 12.41 acres (Tracts B &C) of the Congress Park South from PCC to LI to accommodate the Levenger warehouse development. The City Commission approved the rezoning request on March 23, 1993 (Ordinance 25-93). A related site plan was approved by the SPRAB and the warehouse has been constructed. On October 24,1995 the City Commission approved the rezoning of 14.62 acres from LI (Tracts B & C) and PCC (Tract D) to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) associated with future expansion of the Levenger warehouse. This rezoning left Tract A and Tract E with a zoning designation of PCC. As neither tract is appropriately zoned (does not contain appropriate uses nor meet minimum size requirements of the PCC) the Planning and Zoning Board initiated Planning and Zoning Staff report Rezoning PCC to OSR (Tract E) Page 2 a rezoning of these tracts to OSR (Tract E) and MIC (Tract A). The rezoning of Tract E from PCC to OSR is now before the Board. The proposal is a City initiated corrective rezoning from PCC to OSR for the .8698 acre tract within the Congress Park South development. The parcel contains an existing maintenance building utilized by the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course and owned by the City of Delray Beach. The proposed OSR zoning is similar to the zoning applied to the Delray Municipal Golf Course, which abuts the tract to the south and west. REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3): Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areas. Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The current Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Commerce. The requested zoning change is from PCC ( Planned Commerce Center) to OSR (Open Space and Recreation). The proposed zoning designation of OSR is consistent with the Commerce Future Land Use designation. The existing use of the tract (golf course maintenance facility) is an accessory use of the golf course pursuant to Section 4.4.27 (C). Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning is corrective in nature and no change in land use will occur. Therefore, the proposed rezoning will have no impact with respect to Planning and Zoning Staff report Rezoning PCC to OSR (Tract E) Page 3 Concurrency (traffic, water, sewer, police, fire, parks and recreation, solid waste). Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning .Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. Parcels adjacent to the subject parcel to the west and south are zoned OSR and contain the municipal golf course. Parcels to the north and east are zoned MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) and contain commercial/warehouse uses in the Congress Park South (Levenger Facility). The proposed zoning designation is compatible with all the surrounding land uses. Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. Planning and Zoning Staff report Rezoning PCC to OSR (Tract E) Page 4 The applicable reasons are A and C. The original PCC zoning was established with the development of Congress Park South. However, immediately after approval the parcel was dedicated to the City and placed in an open space use. The proposed OSR designation is of less intensity than the PCC and is more appropriate giving the existing open space and recreation use for which the tract is being utilized. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan and no applicable policies were found. Compliance with Land Development Regulations: The proposed use is to be in compliance with the Land Development Regulations. Items identified in the'rand Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development application/request. As the corrective rezoning does not involve any development proposal compliance with the LDR's is not an issue. The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB (Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Courtesy notices have been sent to the following persons who have requested notification of petitions in this area. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. * Helen Coopersmith, PROD * Lillian Feldman, Delray Property Owners * Golfview Condominiums The proposed rezoning of Tract E can be recommended for approval based on the positive findings outlined in this report and summarized below. The proposed zoning designation of OSR is of less intensity and more appropriate for the tract given the existing use. Further, the proposed zoning designation is Planning and Zoning Staff report Rezoning PCC to OSR (Tract E) Page 5 similar to designations applied to the balance of the municipal golf course and compatible with the surrounding land uses. A. Continue with direction. B. Recommend approval of the rezoning of Tract E of Congress Park South from PCC to OSR, based on positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Rezoning Findings), Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), and the Performance Standards of Section 3.3.2. Recommend denial of a rezoning from PCC to OSR for Tract E of Congress Park South based on a failure to make positive findings. Recommend approval of the rezoning request for Tract E of Congress Park South from PCC (Planned Commerce Center) to OSR (Open Space and Recreation), based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings) and Section 3,3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) of the Land Development Regulations, policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and Section 2.4.5(D)(5).

The Florida Public Employees Relations Commission (Commis- sion) has a continuing responsibility under Section 447.603, Florida Statutes, to ensure that local option ordinances encompass substantially equivalent rights and procedures as those set forth in Chapter 447, Part II, Florida Statutes. A public employer operating pursuant to a local option ordinance has a concomitant responsibility to ensure that the ordinance grants to its public employees substantially equivalent rights and proce- dures as set forth in Chapter 447, Part II. See City of Pensacola v. Florida PERC, 358 So.2d 589 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978). Consequently, the Commission periodically reviews local option ordinances for substantial equivalency to Chapter 447, Part II. The 1995 Florida Legislature amended Chapter 447, Part II, to include the following provision regarding the modification of collective bargaining agreements due to financial urgency: In the event of a financial urgency requiring modification of an agreement, the chief executive officer or his representative and the bargaining agent or its representative shall meet as soon as possible to negotiate the impact of the financial urgency. If LO-95-008 after a reasonable period of negotiation which shall not exceed 14 days, a dispute exists between the public employer and the bargaining agent, an impasse shall be deemed to have occurred and one of the parties shall so declare in writing to the other party and to the commission. The parties shall then proceed pursuant to the provisions of s. 447.403. An unfair labor practice charge shall not be filed during the 14 days during which negotiations are occurring pursuant to this section. S 447.4095, Fla. Stat. (1995). Accordingly, the Commission DIRECTS the City of. Delray Beach to amend its local option ordinance to incorporate such a provi- sion. The City shall have sixty days from the date of this order to submit the amendment as outlined above. § 447.603(3), Fla. Stat. (1993). It is so ordered.

DEPARTMENT O~ P~,NNING~AI~) ZONING FROM: ,.,,/JEFF~ERKINS, SENIOR PLANNER SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARY23, 1996 REZONING OF A 7.84 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND (FULL GOSPEL ASSEMBLY PROPERTY) FROM R-I-A (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO CF (COMMUNITY FACILITIES). ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the Commission is the approval on first reading of the rezoning of the Full Gospel Assembly property from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities). The subject property is a 7.84 acre parcel, containing a commercial nursery and several associated residential structures, located at the southwest corner of S. Swinton Avenue and SW 10th Street. The legal description for the subject property is attached as Appendix "A." BACKGROUND: A portion of the subject property (Parcel 8) was platted as Southridge Plat #3 in 1953. The remainder of the property is unplatted. Parcel 8 contains a number of structures that were part of a nursery operation established under the C-2 zoning district. Parcels 1, 4, and 5 are vacant. The entire property has been zoned R-1-A since 1972. The development proposal is to rezone a 7.84 acre portion of the property from R-1-A to CF to accommodate the construction of a church and associated accessory uses. Three associated parcels that are currently developed with residential structures will remain in the R-I-A district. The applicant has submitted a sketch plan which shows a 500 seat church with 173 parking spaces. The church and parking take up 4.36 acres of the site. The remaining 3.48 acres will be reserved for the addition of accessory uses (such as a City Commission Documentation Full Gospel Assembly - Rezoning from R-1-A to CF Page 2 school and day care) at a later date. Refer to the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report for a full analysis of this rezoning request. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its meeting of June 19, 1995 and voted unanimously to recommend approval. There was no public comment on the item. The item has been on hold since that time due to discrepancies between the submitted survey and the legal descriptions of the subject parcels. Those issues have since been resolved. The establishment of churches in the southwest area of the City has created some controversy, due to the number of churches in the area and their impact on the neighborhood. This particular rezoning was considered by the P&Z Board prior to the conditional use hearing for the Emmanual Evangelical Lutheran Church, and was one of the approved churches included in the list and map provided as the basis for that denial. It is noted that the Full Gospel Assembly is not located within a neighborhood, rather, it is at the corner of two collector streets. It is not likely to bring significant traffic into any neighborhood.

The action before the Board is making a recommendation on a rezoning request from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilitates). The subject property consists of Lots 1-23 of Plat #3 of $outhridge, the abandoned right-of-way of SW 10th Court and 3 metes and bounds parcels with a total area of 7.84 acres. The parcel is located on the southwest comer of S. Swinton Avenue and SW 10th Street. Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. A portion of the subject property (Parcel 8) was platted as Southridge Plat #3 in 1953. The remainder of the property is unplatted. Parcel 8 contains a number of structures that were part of a nursery operation established under the C-2 zoning district. Parcels 1,4, and 5 are vacant. The entire property has been zoned R-1-A since 1972. The development proposal is to rezone the 7.84 acre parcel from R-1-A to CF. The rezoning would accommodate the future construction of a church with associated accessory uses. Three associated pErcels that are currently developed with residential structures will remain in the R-1-A district. The applicant has submitted a sketch plan which shows a 500 seat church with 173 parking spaces. The church and parking take up 4.36 acres of the site. The remaining 3.48 acres will be reserved for the addition of accessory uses (such as a school and day care) at a later date. The applicant tentatively plans to leave all of the existing residential structures on the property. Three of the structures (parcels 2, 6, and 7) will remain in the current R-1-A district. Two residences on the parcel to be constructed with the proposed church (parcel 8) would be in the CF district. The sketch plan is not subject to approval or denial at this time, and is submitted for illustrative purposes only. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 2 REQUIRED FINDINGS.: (Chapter 3) Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the apProval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areas. Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The current Future Land Use designation for the subject property is Low Density Residential. The requested zoning change is from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Faculties). The proposed CF zoning designation is consistent with the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Map designation. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. Traffic: .The applicant has submitted a traffic study for the proposed church indicating that the site will generate 186 Average Daily Trips (ADT). Capacity is available on Swinton Avenue to accommodate the 186 ADT. Concurrency findings for a rezoning must, however, consider the ultimate development potential of the site under the proposed zoning compared to the existing. The current R-1-A (Single Family Residential) zoning designation generally permits only single family residential at a maximum density of 5 units per acre.. The Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance establishes traffic generation rates of 10 ADT per unit for single family residences. With R-1-A zoning and a density of 5 units per acre (39 units) 390 trips would be generated. The ultimate development potential of the site would be the proposed church with associated facilities, such as a school and day care. Based on a development scenario in which the church adds a day care facility serving 50 children and a school accommodating 200 students to the site, the church would generate a total of 587 ADT. Thus there is a net potential increase of 197 ADT from the proposed rezoning. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 3 The 197 net trips which could be generated by development under the CF district can be accommodated by the directly accessed roadway link (Swinton Avenue). Based on the above a positive finding can be made at this time with regard to traffic concurrency. Additional concurrency findings will be required with future proposals for the site. Water: Water service is available to the site via an existing 6" water main located in the SW 10th Street right-of-way and a 2" main in Swinton Avenue. Development of the site ' '.' will require extension of a water main through the property and looping of the system. Addition of a fire hydrant will be required to r~eet maximum spacing. Sewer: Sewer service is available to the site from an existing 6" sewer main located in Swinton Avenue. Parks and Recreation: Parks and Recreation dedications do not apply to non-residential developments. Solid Waste: The proposed 20,000 square foot church will generate 615 pounds of solid waste per week. The church, however, only takes up about 4 acres of the total 7.83. If the remaining 3.83 were developed with a school associated with the church, an additional 6,173 pounds per week could be generated. Thirty-nine single family residences would generate 2,985 pounds per week. The Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments until 2021. Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. Chapter 3 findings include the required findings of Section 3.'1.1 (Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Compliance with LDRs and Consistency). These Chapter 3.1.1 findings are discussed in other sections of the report. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 4 Section 3,3,2 (Standards for Rezonin_o Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3,3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: A) That a rezoning to other than CF within a stable residential area shall be '. denied. The subject property is not located in a stable residential area and the rezoning is to CF. D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. Parcels adjacent to and near the subject parcel to the north, south, and west are primarily residential. As churches are permitted in the current R-1-A zoning district, the proposed use will be compatible with the residences. The scale of the proposed church makes the CF district, which provides for greater setbacks and buffering, more appropriate for the property. The setback and buffering requirements of the CF will ensure compatibility. To the east (across the F.E.C. tracks) is a mix of dilapidated commercial, residential, and industrial uses. Those properties will not be impacted by the proposed rezoning. Standards "B" and "C" do not apply to this proposal Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.'1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the . current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The applicant submitted a justification statement as a part of the rezoning application. The statement indicates that the applicable reason is "c." The justification statement is summarized below: P&Z Staff Report Rezonin9 from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 5 The CF district is a special purpose district which is intended to permit uses which serve public or semi-public purposes. The CF district is deemed to be appropriate in any Future Land Use Map category. The proposed church or other CF uses (park, child care, etc.) are included as conditional uses in the R-1 districts and can, therefore, be considered to be similar in intensity. As the site is a small property located at the comer of two collector streets, the-development proposal may be more appropriate' than a 39 unit residential development. The site is also in close proximity to industrial development and the F.E.C. railroad tracks, which decreases the likelihood that I will be developed with single family residences. A review of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan was undertaken and the following applicable Policies were identified. Conservation Element Policy B-2,1: - Submission of a biological survey and a habitat analysis shall accompany land use requests for...rezonings... However this requirement shall not apply.., where it is that there are not such resources. The subject parcel is in use as a commercial nursery and has been extensively cleared. Thus, no significant biological resources exist on the site. A tree survey will be required with the site plan submission. Housing Element Policy A-1.5: Each neighborhood organization shall be apprised of all land use matters whi(Jh impact their territory and which require review by the Local Planning Agency. Courtesy notices have been sent to all neighborhood groups in the area. See the Neighborhood Notice section under the Review by Others portion of this report. Housing Element Policy C-2.5: Development of remaining vacant properties which are zoned for residential purposes shall be developed in a manner which is consistent with adjacent development regardless of zoning designations. This requirement refers primarily to the Site and Development Plan process. Regardless of the zoning district (R-1-A or CF) assigned to the parcel, compatibility with adjacent properties will be of utmost importance when considering a Site and Development Plan for this parcel. Based on the above, positive findings can be made with respect to Section 2.4.5(E)(5) regarding compatibility. Compliance with Land Develo_oment Regulations: The proposed use is to be in compliance with the Land Development Regulations. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 6 Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development application/request. The applicant has submitted a Sketch Plan with this proposal. While the submitted sketch plan is not being formally considered at this time, the following comments are provided. LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: The site's improvements, as proposed in .the sket~:h plan, will meet or exceed all requirements of this section. LDR Section 4.4.21(H) CF District Special Regulations The CF district requires special setbacks to adjacent residential properties of a fifteen foot landscaped area. This requirement is met by the proposed church and parking lots. However, two existing structures encroach into the special setback. Those structures will be removed with the development of the site. LDR Section 4.6.9 Parking: The parking requirement for churches is '1 space per three seats. The site plan shows a 500 seat sanctuary, requiring 167 parking spaces. A total of 173 spaces are shown on the sketch plan. Of the required spaces 5 are required to be handicap spaces and none are shown on the sketch plan. Parking spaces, aisleways, and roads on the sketch plan generally meet City design standards. A more thorough review of parking lot design will be conducted during Site and Development Plan review. LDR Section 4.6.16 Landscaping: No landscape plan has been submitted at this time. The submission of a landscape plan meeting all requirements of Section 4.6.16 will be required with the Site and Development Plan submission. Other Items: Several existing residential structures and accessory structures associated with the former nursery use are proposed to remain on the site. As the structures would be non-conforming and are in poor condition, removal should be a condition of the site plan approval. P&Z Staff Report Rezonin9 from R-1-A to CF for Full Gospel Assembly Page 7 The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by the HPB (Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notiCe has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. A special Certified notiCe has been sent to each of the property owners of record. Courtesy notiCes have been sent to: June Carr Silver Terrace who have requested notification of petitions in that area. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. The proposed rezoning of the subject 7.84 acre property to CF accommodates a use which is a conditional use in the current zoning district. The CF district would give the church greater flexibility to establish various accessory uses such as a school or day care while requiring larger setbacks and buffers for adjacent residential properties. All required public facilities and services.are available to serve the proposed development. The CF zoning district is consistent with the Low Density Residential FLUM designation. Required positive findings with respe~,t to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (rezoning findings), Section 3.1.1, and the performanCe standards of Section 3.3.2 can be made. Based on the above, the proposed rezoning of the Full Gospel Assembly property to CF is recommended for approval. ^. Continue with direction. B.

Planner COMMENTS FROM CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 1996 11.B. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items from the Public - Immediately followinq Public Hearings. 11.B.1. Clifford Durden, 702 E. Chatelaine Boulevard, representing the Concerned Citizens Coalition of Delray Beach, expressed concern over the dismissal of the Delray Beach Housing Authority Executive Director Deborah Castellow. He asked that the Commission analyze what happened and find a solution to the situation. 13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items. 13.A. City Manaqer In response to a previous inquiry from the Commission, the City Manager distributed a memorandum from the Director of Planning and Zoning concerning the public participation process for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) for the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, he distributed a report on the current status of the FAMU Band special event. 13.B. City Attorney The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries. 13.C. City Commission 13.C.1. Dr. Alperln Dr. Alperin commented that the Backroom had received an approval for use of the sidewalk in front of the business, but apparently did not have the event. The City Manager advised that they decided to stay inside. Dr. Alperin asked if a report had been received back from Mr. Hansen about the interlocal agreement with the School Board for the Seacrest property? Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, reported that Mr. Hansen has been out ill and is still working on it. A response is expected soon. Regarding the Butler building on Lake Ida Road, Dr. Alperin asked if the owner is complying, or making an attempt to comply with the City code? Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, reported that the owner is scheduled to come before the Code Enforcement Board within the next two weeks. She noted that the owner is continuing to do alot of work without permits. 13.C.2. Mr. Ellinqsworth Mr. Ellingsworth had no comments or inquiries. 13.C.3. Mr. Randolph Mr. Randolph had no comments or inquiries. 13.C.4. Mrs. Smith Mrs. Smith had no comments or inquiries. 13.C.5. Mayor Lynch Mayor Lynch reported that he had received a letter from the Education Board concerning the naming of the park by the new Orchard View Elementary School, and asking if there is interest on the Commission's part in using this as a possible fund raiser. The Mayor passed the letter along to staff to see if some type of arrangement can be worked out with the School Board to possibly raise some money through the naming of the park which could be used for playground equipment. With respect to grants, Mayor Lynch asked if the City is doing well in this area? The City Manager stated that the City is doing very well. Mayor Lynch commented that he had received a letter from the Boca Hotel which is interested in working out a tennis arrangement. He passed the letter along to the City Manager. Mayor Lynch commented on two newspaper articles he had received which favorably mentioned Delray Beach and the city's turnaround. One of the articles was from a Sarasota newspaper and the other was from Crain's Detroit Business, Michigan (May 1, 1995). In reference to the issue on the Housing Authority which had been brought up earlier in the meeting, Mayor Lynch stated it is his understanding that while the Commission appoints members to the Authority, once they are appointed they are regulated by State statute and the Commission does not have the authority to overturn or change decisions made by them; they operate independently of the Commission. He suggested that the City Attorney convey this information to Mr. Durden so that he understands the Commission does not have the authority to take further action on the matter. PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: ~3a~vid Harden, C,,~ Manager FROM: m~ngu r lng and Zoning DATE: January 23, 1996 SUBJECT: EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT {EAR) We have established an extensive public participation program to assist in preparation of the EAR, and to make it a community effort. The following are highlights of that process: Citizen task teams will be convened to work with staff on the Housing, Open Space & Recreation, Public Facilities, Coastal Management, and Conservation Element EAR's. Team members will be selected from those responding to advertisements, articles in the News For Neighborhoods, flyers at the Town Hall Meeting, and letters to participants on the 1989 task teams. An orientation and meetings will be held in February and early March. City Commissioners and P&Z Board Members will be invited to attend. The end result of the task teams' work will be the draft EAR. The draft EAR will be reviewed by the P&Z Board at noticed workshops and public hearings to gain wider public input. These meetings will be held in late March and April. The final draft of the EAR will be transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), and to City Commission about May 1st. City Commission will hold a workshop and at least one public hearing in June and July to adopt the EAR and transmit it to DCA by August 1st for their review regarding sufficiency of the document. We should note that DCA staff has reviewed the public participation process and found it consistent with their rules. In addition, we are working closely with DCA during preparation of the EAR report. So far, they have found our methods, format and products satisfactory, and, in fact, have given copies of our work to other cities to use as a model.

There is no question that the rights of consumers must be protected and that defective products are sometimes sold. But the justifiable rage at such cases of real negligence has produced an ever-expanding body of law that unfairly penalizes innocent busincsses. We tend to think of product liability in terms of the multimil- lion-dollar awards levied against mega-corporations like Mc- Donald's Corp. or General Motors Corp. But the legal environ- ment also can be toxic to new businesses -- the cost of a heavy liability award can put an entrepreneur out of business. And small businesses are hit disproportionately hard by continuing legal and insurance costs. In our opinion, Michigan Senate Bill 344, written by Joel Gou- geon, R-Bay City, offers sensible and fair product-liability re- forms. It would: · Stop damage awards to people who were injured because they were drunk or under the influence of drugs. [] Ban damages to people whose alteration of products caused an injury. · Halt the practice of "joint and several liability," in which one member of a group of defendants pays all the damages -- re- gardless of the degree of guilt -- if other .d_e.f~nd.an!~.~r~__mlc~ola ._ ~ lectable. ~ ' "'-~- --- · Inhibit court-shopping by requiring that cases be tried in the county where an injury occurred. Gougeon's proposal is more moderate than those in Congress, omitting the punitive "losers pay" provision. It would allow for full repayment of economic damages but limit "pain and suffer- ing" damages to $225,000 in most cases.
