Also, Ms. Bedard stated at that time the City float ed bonds for the senior center. She stated the only thing that has gone up in that ar ea is a jungle gym that has no shade area. Ms. Bedard inquired about the demographics on it t o put a park at this particular area because it is not utilized. She suggested tha t the City sell that piece of land and getting property tax for it since it has been vacant s ince 2002 and remove the playground area where it would be a lot safer.

Mr. Dorling stated this is a second reading on a privately-initi ated Future Land Use Map change from Medium Density (MD) to CC (Commerci al Core), and a rezoning from RM (Multiple Family Residential) to CBD (Centr al Business District) for a 0.157 acre property located approximately 391 feet south of We st Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Dorling stated the requested land use change is from MD to C C and zoning from RM to CBD. He stated the site is currently vacant. Mr. Dorling stated this was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board and the item did not receive a second to the m otion on July 17, 2012. The City Commission reconsidered the entire item on August 7, 2012 and agreed to hear it at second reading at this meeting of August 21, 2012. Mr. Dorling s tated the site is currently owned by the CRA and they also own all of the lots north of that to Atlantic Avenue. He stated there are plans in an agreement w ith Prime Delray Hotel, LLC, to develop a hotel at the corner of West Atlantic Avenue between S.W . 10 th Avenue and S.W. 9 th Avenue on approximately a 2.30 acres site. Mr. Dorling stated this would be a small portion of that at the southern end and that would allow t he property to be utilized as a parking area in association with the future hotel. Mr. Dorling stated the rezoning of this property is the fir st step in this process. He stated the hotel use is allowed only as a conditional use and requires recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Board and approval by the C ity Commission if it is to go forward and followed up with a site pla n. Mr. Dorling stated the review process would include all fractions of the City incl uding the Police Department and going through a full CPTED (Crime Prevention Throu gh Environmental Design) review and would be incorporated in any subsequent devel opment. Staff recommends approval. Larry Abbo (CEO), Prime Investor’s and Developers, Prime Delr ay Hotel, LLC, stated the overall project is a hotel up to 128 rooms and that was respondent to the RFP that was brought about by the CRA. Mr. Abbo stated t his process has been 11 08/21/12 ongoing now close to three years. He stated the designs have been presented through the process and they have now executed full documentation with the CRA and are pleased to present this to the Commission for approval. Mr. Abbo stated the hot el is proposed as a 4-story hotel in conformance with the current LDRs; they are prop osing up to 128 rooms, a resort style swimming pool, meeting rooms that would help serve the communi ty needs. He stated this hotel can bring approximately 32 new jobs. Mr. Abbo displayed a couple of options that they would bring about so it would need to be a Marr iott, Hilton, and Choice Hotels with a focus towards Marriott and Hilton. Mr. Abbo br iefly spoke about the security features. He stated some of the features speci fic to the parking area which has been mentioned as a point of concern. Mr. Abbo stated it is cont emplated that they would have fencing and decorative peers in the perimeter of the parking area which covers the application site; they would have a secured entry control device for guest access only after hours or in the evening hours and if a guest were to come that is not a checked-in guest, they would have a telephone that they could call i n from vestibule to the front desk to allow for monitored access. Mr. Abbo stated this hot el will employ 32 people; some part-time some full-time. He stated other vis itor spending based on the U.S. Department of Commerce calculations and the Palm Beach Tour ist Development Council is approximately $3.5 million; additional income would be gene rated by our neighboring businesses such as restaurants and other service provi ders of the city; bed tax of approximately $147,000 and sales tax of $389,000 for a total of a $7 mill ion impact. Mr. Abbo stated indirect impacts are other jobs created by t he restaurants and retails that would feel this $3 million income and based on the resources quoted would bring about 28 additional jobs and those jobs would generate additional revenue of $5.6 million for a total impact of 60 jobs and $12.5 million. Mr. Abbo stated Work for Sout h Florida is one of their key partners in hiring local. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the request, to please come forward at this time. Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the Delray Beach Communit y Redevelopment Agency (CRA), thanked the Commission for allowing them to reconsider this petition, stated although there is discussion about the hotel the actual petition in front of the Commission is for the rezoning. Ms. Colonna st ated the Central Business District (CBD) is between 300-350 feet deep. She st ated the type of building that is allowed in the West Atlantic Overlay District which applies to the CBD the buildings can go about 150 feet deep from Atlantic Avenue and beyond tha t has to be parking. Ms. Colonna stated she believes that the Commission ca n make a finding that it is appropriate to rezone this property and it is consistent with the zoning pattern that is in the area. She stated the City and the CRA have been working for m any years on plans for West Atlantic Avenue. Ms. Colonna stated the CRA has been im plementing the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, the Downtown Master Plan, and wa s plans that involved a lot of community input and meetings. Ms. Colonna stated this hotel is a good use and they have discussed a moderately priced hotel off Atlanti c Avenue for many years. She stated this proposal represents the first subs tantial private investment since Atlantic Grove was finished in 2003/2004. Ms. Colonna stated it is an o pportunity for the City and the CRA to get some return and for the community to ha ve a new 12 08/21/12 development and a nice entryway to their neighborhood that is modera tely priced. It will be attractive, and could be well used. Ms. Colonna urged the Commiss ion to support this rezoning and allow the CRA to continue to move forward with attrac ting new development on Atlantic Avenue. Steve Blum, Antilles Homeowners’ Association, 115 Venetian Dri ve Unit “C”, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he feels the hotel would be a wonderful addition in this area. Mr. Blum stated he is glad the gentleman c ame back because he heard the Commissioners last time had some concerns about being a magnet for crime in the area and he came back and proved that is just not the case. Vin Nolan, Economic Development Director/CRA, stated in Economic Development there are three key points: (1) jobs, (2) tax ba se growth, and (3) wealth retention and this project in this location has elements of all t hree. Mr. Nolan stated when people come to town on business they are not opting for the hig her end hotels because it is too expensive. Mr. Nolan stated the City needs a quality business class priced hotel to retain those dollars in the community and they tr avel in and as guests come in to visit. He encouraged the Commission to support this. Susan Bedard, 1297-C Highpoint Way S.E., Delray Beach, FL 33445 (High Point Section 6), inquired if these people have their own construction companies that come with them and if they do she would like to make sure that m inority contractors are used on this project to the best of our ability. Mike Malone, President of the Chamber of Commerce, 64-A S.E. 5 th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated what has been important to business in the community is: (1) jobs (32), (2) the developer has committed to hire locally, (3) investment into the community along the Avenue. Mr. Malone stated the proposed hotel is five blocks away from the interstate and it is a good invest ment opportunity for the City to recoup some tax dollars. Christina Morrison, 2809 Florida Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated the Commission is not setting a precedent by approving t his zoning change. Ms. Morrison stated this is a perfect private/public partnership be tween the CRA and the hotel developer. Ms. Morrison supports this project. Rosetta Rolle, 301 N.W. 3 rd Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, asked what the lowest annual salary and highest annual salary will be of the peop le being hired. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 19-12, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Dorling had no rebuttal. Mr. Abbo stated it would range on the experience and position type but the salaries would range from minimum range to fixed salaries up to $60,000 plus pe r year. 13 08/21/12 Mr. Jacquet asked if minority contractors would be used. Mr. Abbo s tated minority contractors would be used and they have discussed with the CRA about having some non-required activities but that are beneficial for the comm unity and the project and advertising the petitioning of proposals and bids for the constructi on process on site to try and work in partnering with the CRA towards bringing additional local contractors to participate in the construction process. Mrs. Gray inquired about the 32 jobs and the salaries. Mrs. Gra y asked who would maintain these jobs and is there any type of auditing pr ocess. Mr. Abbo clarified that even though the $1 per year is the primary non-revenue producing period of a hotel and stated that they do expect to pay real estate ta xes during that period. He clarified that it would not wait until the 5 th year. He stated how they monitor it is they participated with local and state governments with such grants l ike the CDBG grants. Mr. Abbo stated they are happy to report any consistent government al method that they can prove that they are self-monitoring on an annual basis or a bi -annual basis they can offer proof of compliance. Mr. Abbo stated this property would hav e local staff made up of management (5 positions would be of the highest pay grade and the o thers would be hourly of varying compensation amounts depending on experience and the position that they fill. Mrs. Gray asked if this was included in the RFP and most of the pr operties were included but when they actually made their proposal was that including that. Mr. Nolan stated the CRA overtime has put out different RFP’s on thi s property and other properties and they have always been offered with the full knowl edge of the developer that it is incumbent upon them at the point of application to go through the rezoning process. Mrs. Gray stated the parking lot is also included in the RFP tha t was sent out along with making sure that they had the proper financing i n place and understands that the CRA is giving a $1.5 million loan. Mrs. Gray expressed concern over the additional public parking being constructed closer to S.W. 1 st . Mrs. Gray stated when she read the RFP their proposal asked for the CRA to reimburse them for the parking lot. Mr. Nolan stated there was a point in time during the initial phases of the prop osal and subject to negotiation that was modified and the CRA is not providing parking t o them at this point in time. Furthermore, Mr. Nolan stated the CRA is providing as part of the CRA work plan for improvements in the neighborhood. Ms. Colonna stated where they are putting the parking lot now (whic h is across from the Palm Manor apartment complex) those lots were made available as part of the RFP and if someone wanted to utilize them. She stated when t he CRA got the proposal in and finalized the contract and it did not include these lots, the CRA went ahead with their own project to design a parking lot and build a p arking lot for Palm Manor. Ms. Colonna stated it will also be available to be sha red by the church so it will be public parking for those uses. Mrs. Gray clarified that it would not be restricted for hotel use. 14 08/21/12 Mr. Nolan stated he will be doing the tracking. Mr. Nolan state d the CRA built into the Development Infrastructure Assistant Agreem ent, which is the TIF revenue incentives they will be getting, for public infrastructure imp rovements surrounding this hotel. Mrs. Gray asked if the people in her community are okay wit h the rezoning because the CRA noted that there was an issue with moving the 150 foot lot and she brought it up to staff to bring that forward to the Commission becaus e she knows how difficult it is to get some type of redevelopment there. M r. Nolan referenced a letter from WARC who has met with community groups in the neighborhoods indicati ng that they are in support of this. Ms. Colonna stated this will be one of the issues discussed at the WARC Workshop meeting September 8, 2012 to talk about the development of t he area and whether or not the plans that have been adopted are still relevant. Mayor McDuffie stated from ad valorem tax standpoint the Pr operty Appraiser’s office is going to look at the following three approa ches to value: (1) cost, (2) income, and (3) market. He stated they are going to look at those three approaches to value and which are the most appropriate of those approaches and t hat will be the value that is placed on the hotel. Mrs. Gray inquired if the applicant has his flag. Mr. Abbo stated they have since the beginning contemplated the use of a Marriott brand on this hotel and they have been in front of a committee and to get to the next level of ap proval they have to prove that this is an approved site. Mr. Abbo stated there are a couple of things that they have to prove to them to get a franchise agreement and it has to be site controlled and approvable. Mr. Abbo stated they are trying to show them how they are making progress toward an approvable site that they can then assess and final design. He stated so far the conditions that they have with the CRA require a Marriott or Hilton flag. Mrs. Gray stated originally she was not in support of this pro ject. However, Mrs. Gray stated the RFP which made her very happy bec ause her concern was that there would be a hotel with nothing else built around it. Mrs. G ray asked when they will be sending out another RFP so that this project will not be there alone. Mr. Nolan stated towards the end of this year would be the next time the CRA would issue a new RFP. Mr. Abbo stated a hotel allows for people to come and experien ce the city at a price point that is necessary to succeed. He state d being able to stay in the city that you are asking them to invest in is a very important contributing factor. Mr. Abbo stated they are going to bridge the gap that exists to new constructi on, new development, new fresh current activities that are occurring a bit further e ast and they want to participate in bringing it to the community further west and closer to I-95. Mr . Abbo stated one of the City’s top goals of 2006 is expanding the downtown from A-1-A to I-95. 15 08/21/12 Mr. Jacquet stated there are not many places to stay in Del ray and we need something closer to I-95. He stated people come to Delray Beach to spend money here and leave but leave all the benefits for us and feels this is a great opportunity to capture that specifically to the western community there is no place for people to stay except for neighboring cities. Mr. Jacquet stated this gateway project is going to be beautiful for Delray Beach when people get off I-95 he feels development has more than begun. Mr. Jacquet stated the hotel will be another thing to be proud of and tha t will help stimulate and push more development on West Atlantic Avenue. He stated his personal preference would be to not have a hotel first; he would prefer to have seen a food market, grocery store, or medical office first but he understands what this project can do for that area. Mr. Jacquet stated everyone has agreed on this issue including the Chambe r of Commerce, the CRA, WARC, Christina Morrison, Chair of FRB (although the comment s were in her position as Chair of the FRB), and a letter from the Delray Beach Police Department states that they think they can handle whatever issues we may have . Mr. Jacquet stated a vote against this is a vote against the best interest of the community and a vote against the best interest of Delray Beach. Mr. Carney stated the developer has assured that there will be minority businesses involved in this process and community involvement in this p rocess. He stated this was the rezoning of a small piece of land to i nvite an entire project in to be put forward. Mr. Frankel thanked everyone for their presentations. Mr. Frankel stated Commissioner Jacquet asked for a reason against his position. Mr. Fr ankel stated the Delray Beach Police Department has a document called “hotel r esearch” that looked at various hotels from January-June 2012 with their crimes and calls of s ervice. Mr. Frankel stated the Days Inn in West Palm Beach had 62 total doc umented calls for service where they had rape, robbery, prostitution, vehicle impound ment, stolen vehicles, suspicious vehicles, and suicides. Mr. Frankel stated that is not to say that all of the hotels are like that. He stated he was very vocal about his conce rn for having any 24- hour business hotel or otherwise right off of I-95. Mr. Frankel stat ed he understands the Police Department’s official position but he has also spoken to ot her officers (some retired and some not) about his concerns about any hotel or 24-hour busine ss right off I- 95. Mr. Frankel stated the developer put forth a presentation t hat the City did not have a month ago and he believes that this is a good first step. Mr. Fr ankel stated it is important that should this go forward that every safety precaution needs to be put in place not only in the parking lot as well as inside the hotel. Mr. Frankel sta ted he is okay with this tonight but going forward he needs to be assured that these sec urity measures are in place; that a thorough CPTED report is done. Mayor McDuffie stated he feels that we have all heard t he reasons there was no second to the motion the last time the Commission had this mee ting. Mayor McDuffie stated although he has some concerns about security like Commissioner Frankel he supports this this evening. 16 08/21/12 Mr. Frankel moved to approve adopt Ordinance No. 19-12 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commis sion voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

Mr. Dorling stat ed the relocation of the house to 5 th and 2 nd has occurred but none of the construction has occurred. Mr. Zengage stated this is strictly market driven and they donated the house to the CRA and they moved it to the West Settlers Distri ct. He stated with the economy starting to take a turn for the better they will h ave a better opportunity during this extension period. Mr. Carney asked if there are any material changes that have occurred in the LDRs from the time of this project’s approval to now. Mr. D orling stated the primary one is that of the changes to the lighting plan and that is why condition #3 was applied in 2010. Mrs. Gray stated she looks forward to the project and it is muc h needed in that block.

(Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex par te communications. Mr. Jacquet stated he spoke to Attorney Jeffrey Lynne on this issue and Mr. Carasello previously. Mr. Carney stated he spoke with Att orney Jeffrey Lynne, former Commissioner Fred Fetzer, former Commissioner Jon Levinson, Kelli Freeman, a group of interested people that live in the Tropic Isle ar ea on this issue, and also received some emails. Mrs. Gray stated she spoke with Attorney Jeffre y Lynne, received emails from Kelli Freeman and others some opposed and some in favor to ext end the timeframe. Mayor McDuffie stated he has spoken to Attorney Jeffrey Ly nne, Mr. Carasello, and received pro and con emails. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this i s a request for up to an additional six months on top of the six months t hat were previously granted to a privately sponsored rezoning from POC (Planned Office Center) to SAD (Special Activities District) for a 9.95 acre property loc ated at the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and Federal Highway. Mr. Dorling stated this was part of a request that came before the Commission and in deliberations there was a consensus to seek an SAD zoning. The applicant was granted that six month period and th ey have since that time pursued that direction in working and meeting with staff and neighbors in the process of preparing a site plan which is required as part of that SAD zoning request. The previous six months would have required that the SAD site plan and z oning request be finalized by October 3, 2012. Mr. Dorling stated the intent t o submit the SAD and the site plan by September 7, 2012. He stated given the schedule they have shown in their letter they would not be able to achieve final considerati on by City Commission on second reading until the mid-December and that has been requested by the a pplicant. Mr. Dorling stated that requires an extension of that original six months. Jeffrey Lynne, Weiner, Lynne & Thompson, P.A., 10 S.E. 1 st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated he spoke with the City Attorney and Mr. Dorling because they have since replaced their prior agent. Mr. Lynne made reference to the motion for April 3, 2012 minutes for Item 10.A. Ordinance No. 05-12. Mr. Lynne stated the request before the Commission on April 3, 2012 was based upon a letter by Mr. Michael Covelli based upon the direction given by the Commission t hat the applicant seeks the SAD rezoning which then required his client to develop a si te plan and they asked for six (6) months to do that. Mr. Lynne stated they anticipat e submitting the site plan September 7, 2012 assuming there are not significant changes r equested by the homeowners. Mr. Lynne stated they are really before the Comm ission asking for an extension of time but it is just clarification that the motion M r. Jacquet gave that evening that was seconded and approved was that the applicant had six (6) months to get their site plan, architects, and developers and submit the application. Mr. Lynne stated if the intent 29 08/21/12 was that there be final consideration to be before the Commiss ion for final determination by October 3, 2012 then they are asking for more time. Brief discussion between the City Attorney and the Commission followed. Mayor McDuffie stated the text does not state what that six month deadline covered. The City Attorney stated he understands that is t heir argument and an argument can be made to get the ordinance back in front of the Com mission for second reading. The City Attorney stated there is no way they can a ccomplish that with the revised SAD ordinance because what staff was hoping to see was that the applicant would be coming back with first reading on the SAD and at the s ame meeting they would withdraw the ordinance that is still pending out there under the ot her zoning category that they came in for. Mr. Dorling clarified that this six (6) month extension was one that was requested by the applicant at the meeting and was not something that staff suggested or that the Commission had originally entertained. Mr. Dorling stat ed when it was on the table by the applicant there was a motion to support the appl icant’s request of a six (6) month extension and the assumption was that it would be back before t he Commission within that six (6) months. He stated that is why he and the Cit y Attorney have this position that they are not going to be able to meet that expect ation and per the applicant’s request, he has required a little more time. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the request, to please come forward at this time. Christina Morrison, 2809 Florida Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated this developer was facing a rejection and there was substantial pushback from the neighborhood to this development. Ms. Morrison stated if he was reje cted he would have to wait a year to re-submit so he asked for a six (6) month extension. She sta ted a two (2) month extension is more than enough. Ms. Morrison commented about a meeting outside the city where this developer was presenting the plan that show ed the buildings pushed all the way back into the neighborhood not on the street and she strongly objects to thi s. Mayor McDuffie stated what they present outside does not matt er but what matters is what they present here. Mr. Carney commented about the SAD designation. Gerry Franciosa, 939 Eve Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he has been following this from the beginning of this and asked what the legal ity is and what the basis is for the applicant’s request of an extension. Mr. Franciosa stated they applied for a PC zoning change from POC. Mr. Franciosa stated it is hi s opinion that the applicant is trying to get an extension so that they get an appr oval for a site plan and not be required to go under the new regulations of the LDRs which are going to be presented on the South Federal Highway Overlay Plan. He distributed a le tter to the Commission 30 08/21/12 from Mr. Lynne quoting LDR 2.4.4(E) as being the reason why he is a sking for an extension. Mr. Franciosa stated extensions are for approved projects and they are asking for an extension of what. Mr. Franciosa stated this Ordinance No. 5-12 came before the Commission on March 20, 2012. There was discussion and four Commissioners s aid they were against it and former Commissioner Alperin suggested t hat maybe the applicant would like to consider a zoning of SAD. It was postponed to the following Commission meeting of April 3, 2012 and at that time the applicant s aid they would like to have six (6) months to consider what they are going to do with the PC zoning or SAD zoning which expires on October 3, 2012. Mr. Franciosa stated this s hould go to October 3, 2012 and the applicant should make a decision as to whether or not they ar e going to withdraw their PC application and favor SAD, or do they want a vote f rom the Commission to go to PC. The City Attorney stated there is no Board Order because this is not based on the normal extension request that we see in the LDRs. The City Attorney stated the motion was made for the period to continue the second reading of that ordinance for a period not to exceed six (6) months. He stated that is why staf f said to the applicant that they need to get in front of the Commission otherwise staff wil l need to bring this ordinance back to the Commission in accordance with their last motion for them to vote on. The City Attorney stated in order for us not to do that, this is before the Commission tonight to take action on to see if the Commission wishes to extend that continuation. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Dorling and Mr. Lynne had no rebuttal. Mr. Carney moved to approve the request to extend the timeframe to six (6) months for Item 9.B., seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuf fie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.D.

Mr. Hoggard stated that was in response to the e conomy doing a downturn then and a major impact on automotive uses. He stated there was a concern that if the dealerships in that area suddenly started pulling out what would happen to the properties in that area. Mr. Hoggard stated since the 2010 attem pt to do Wal-mart on the former Ralph Buick property staff realized that there was a concern with regard to compatibility with the neighborhood for any development in that area. He stated the Plan was expanded to address more completely address compatibilit y issues which are now 31 08/21/12 incorporated into the Plan. Mr. Hoggard stated the existing land uses are Automotive Commercial (AC) and General Commercial (GC) and they make u p over 60% of the land uses in the area and are just less than 141 acres; 50% of the prop erty is Automotive Commercial. Mr. Hoggard briefly reviewed the changes recommende d by the Planning and Zoning Board and staff’s recommendations. Staff recommends ap proval of the South Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan based on positive findings that it supports and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Gray asked if there will be buffers for the backside as well. Mr. Hoggard stated the backside is the 25 feet with the double rows of trees; if you are on Federal Highway with this change you are able to move the building up to the front. Mrs. Gray thanked staff for addressing people’s issues and concerns. Mr. Carney stated he appreciates all the work that has gone i nto this and noted that he has had conversations with people who have expressed concerns about the size of the buildings on the east side of Federal Highway. H e stated instead of allowing them to go up to 50 feet is there a process that they have to go through. Mr. Carney stated he would like to review this because it will allow him to ask people in the neighborhood some questions. Mr. Hoggard explained that it is not the b uilding size of 50,000 square feet; it is the maximum individual single tenant that c annot exceed 50,000 square feet. Prior to the vote, an unidentified woman stepped forward and noted she i s the Court Counsel for the land owner of the Ralph Buick property and entered a letter into the record outlining their concerns with the proposal. It was noted that the first letter is attached in the agenda backup; however, this is a second letter.

CITY MANAGER RECRUITMENT PROCESS: Discuss the recruitment process to select a new City Manager. The City Manager stated in order to initiate the process the first decision that needs to be made is what kind of process the Commission wants. Mayor McDuffie stated he likes the Range Rider Program.

CHANGE ORDER NO. 4/FOSTER MARINE CONTRACTORS, INC.: Consider approval of Change Order No. 4 with Foster Marine Contra ctors, Inc. in the amount of $11,844.45 for the Auburn Avenue Improvement Project. Funding is available from 334-3162-541-68.65 (General Construction Fund: Other Improvement/Auburn Avenue Improvements). Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, stated this is a request for approval of a change order for Foster Marine on the Auburn Ave nue Improvement Project for $11,844.45. Mr. Hasko stated this has to do with the reconstruct ion of the driveway access to Storage America. He stated it was built to South Florida Water Management District requirements and their perimeter grade s are fairly high. Mr. Hasko stated the driveway that was originally there was steep to begin with because of that. He stated the problem arose when originally the driveway connected directly to the edge of pavement. The sidewalk has a maximum slope on it so it could not c ome up as steep from the edge of pavement as the former driveway and therefore t hey lost 5 feet of horizontal width to make up. Mr. Hasko stated this is not really a problem with passenger vehicles or small moving trucks but because of the s lope that was built there they rent storage space to commercial companies such as landsc aping companies. He stated they had vehicles going in and out of there towing trailer s and there is some gouge in the asphalt because the trailer hitch is catching there. St aff has been working with the owner to go into the property to slighten the slope to 10% or 12% to help minimize the issue. 33 08/21/12 Mr. Carney moved to approve Change Order No. 4 with Foster Marine Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $11,844.45, seconded by Mrs. Gray.

BACKGROUND Veterans Park is located in a picturesque setting o n the Intracoastal Waterway just north of the main thoroughfare-Atlantic Avenue. The park contains a Veterans War Memorial, a recreation center for young children through adults and senior citizens; shuffleboard and lawn bowling courts; a gazebo for parties, weddings, and bands; and two (2) large pla yground structures that were built in 1994 by volunteer groups, parents and organizations. The area that has been identified as currently havi ng the greatest need in Veterans Park is the existi ng wooden playground structures. This playground need s to be completely rebuilt in order for it to continue being a haven for young people, as it has been for over the past 18 years. The task of tryin g to maintain this playground utilizes many man hours an d the ability to repair elements has become difficult times. In order to rebuild this playgrou nd to meet the current American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards regarding accessibility and safety criteria, funding is essential. The scope of the Veterans Park playground project i s to remove the existing playgrounds; reinstall two (2) playground systems-one for ages 2-5 and the oth er for ages 5-12 which utilize a variety of materials, shapes and textures to provide different experience s in movement, climbing, interaction, socialization , and communication. Benches, water fountain, and pi cnic tables are also included in this project. The total estimated cost is $277,000 of which $138,500 will be requested from FRDAP. FUNDING SOURCE Funding for this project is planned FY 2012-13 in t he proposed FY 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program. RECOMMENDATION Parks and Recreation recommends Commission approval to apply for a FRDAP Grant. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Alberta Gaum, Recreation Superintendent Linda Karch, Director of Parks and Recreation THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 10, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.I. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 GRANT APPLICATION TO FRDAP/REDESIGN POMPEY PARK POOL ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION City Commission approval is requested to submit a g rant application in the amount of $178,350 to Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) for funds to redesign the wading pool at Pompey Park Pool. BACKGROUND Pompey Park Pool, located at 1101 NW 2nd Street, wa s rebuilt in 1995 to its current configurations which includes a building with an office, bathroom facilities, showers, locker rooms, a wading pool an d the main pool. Over the years, the pool has undergone some upgrade s, but one area that was left untouched is the kiddie or wading pool area. While the main pool is ADA compliant with an accessible chair lift, with the new American with Disabilities Act taking effec t this January, 2013, we need to address not only t he desire to have a more well-rounded pool for a larger number of patrons and fam ilies, but the accessibility requirements for the wading pool with which we are currently not in compliance. The US Department of Justice (US DOJ) recently adop ted expanded guidelines for public pools as part of the ADA. These new guidelines specifically stat e that "a wading pool is a pool designed for shallo w depth and is used for wading". Each wading pool mu st provide at least one sloped entry into the deepest part. We do not have a sloped entry for th e wading pool. The scope of the Pompey Park Pool project is to rec onstruct the wading pool into an interactive, zero depth entry, water recreation area which would incl ude spray park components. This new concept would vastly improve the usability of this underuti lized wading pool. It will attract families with younger children who may have not learned to swim, large groups and non-profit organizations, pool parties and even tourists who are looking for activ ities to do with their families. We even can antic ipate increased revenue. The total estimated cost is $356,500 of which $178,350 will be requested from FRDAP. FUNDING SOURCE Funding for this project is planned for FY 2013-14 in the proposed FY 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program.

Harden, City Manager DATE:September 11, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.P.1 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 CONTRACT AWARD/INTERCOUNTY ENGINEERING, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The attached agenda item is a request for Commissio n approval/authorization for the Mayor to execute a construction contract with Intercounty Engineerin g for the construction of a drainage improvement project on Lowry Street on the barrier island. BACKGROUND The subject drainage improvement project was develo ped late last year subsequent to an unusually intense rainfall event which resulted in flooding o f older residences on the south side of Lowry Stree t that had not historically experienced such flooding . The event coincided with the construction of a n ew subdivision across the street from the affected hom es which required a significant volume of fill to raise proposed floor elevations in order to comply with current FEMA requirements resulting in lost basin storage. This project will expand the draina ge system serving the area and increase its capacit y to handle storm water runoff. Additional projects on the barrier island to increase system capacity are anticipated in the future in order to mitigate the impact of new development and redevelopment in olde r low lying neighborhoods. The scope of this contract includes the constructio n of 173 linear feet of 30” pipe, 110 linear feet o f 24 ” pipe, 6” deep roadside swales, clearing and grubbing, gradin g, sod, and maintenance of traffic at Lowry Street. Three quotes were received for this project. Interc ounty Engineering was low with a total bid amount o f $56,384.00. The bid tabulation, and location map ar e attached. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available in Storm Water Utility account #448-5461-538-63.90 after budget transfer. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the approval of a contract award t o Intercounty Engineering for the construction of a drainage improvement project on Lowry Street.

BI D T A B F O R L O W R Y P a g e 1 o f 1 9/11/2012 MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Ronald Hoggard, AICP, Principal Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 7, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 ADOPTION OF THE SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consider adoption of the “South Federal Highway Red evelopment Plan”, which covers the commercial properties on both sides of South Federal Highway b etween Linton Boulevard on the north and the city limits to the south. This item was postponed from t he August 21, 2012 and September 4, 2012 City Commission Meetings. BACKGROUND The purpose of a Redevelopment Plan is to identify the specific deficiencies and assets of an area, evaluate the existing and potential uses, and ident ify specific measures for arresting decline, facili tating new development, and enhancing the quality of life for residents of the area. Six of these areas were originally depicted on the 1989 Future Land Use Map as Redevelopment Areas #1 through #6. Additional areas, including South Federal Highway, have been added since to address changes in conditions. In 2008, City leaders saw how volatile the automoti ve industry had become and became concerned that the large amount of automotive dealerships on South Federal Highway would not be sustainable in the long term. If the industry imploded and dealers beg an to withdraw from the area, there would be a majo r economic impact on the corridor and the City as a w hole. The City Commission wanted the area to be evaluated and a Plan prepared that would help the a rea to become more sustainable. A Policy dealing with this area was added to the Comprehensive Plan in Amendment 2008-1, adopted on December 9, 2008. In 2010, an attempt by Walmart to rezone the former Ralph Buick property on the east side of South Federal Highway from AC (Automotive Commercial) to PC (Planned Commercial) met considerable opposition from the residents of the adjacent neigh borhood based on compatibility. The rezoning ultimately failed and the property is still vacant. A series of public workshops were held in 2011 to engage residents in a discussion of exactly what th eir objections were and how they might be addressed in the upcoming Redevelopment Plan for the area. St aff’s goal was to separate the use issues from the site planning issues and strike a balance between t he residents’ needs and the needs of the commercial property owners. Initially, the primary intent of the Redevelopment Plan was to deal with land use issues and sustainability. However, to increase the comfort le vel of the adjacent neighborhoods and ensure compatibility, the Plan was expanded to include a n umber of buffering and setback provisions, as well as a limitation on maximum tenant size. Although so me compromise will be necessary, with these provisions in place, staff is confident that the re sidents’ concerns can be addressed while ensuring that the commercial corridor remains viable for commerci al development and that this redevelopment area becomes a catalyst for economic development in the City. A complete background on the Redevelopment Plan can be found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of July 16, 2012, the Planning and Z oning Board held a public hearing on the proposed Redevelopment Plan. Staff presented the Plan and se veral members of the public spoke about the various components of the Plan, including the proposed rezo nings, the maximum tenant size, buffer requirements and restrictions on the west side of S outh Federal Highway. After discussion, the Planning and Zoning Board rec ommended approval of the Redevelopment Plan (5 to 0) with the condition that the following changes be made: 1. In the “Introduction” and “Plan Implementation” Sections of the Plan, staff had described the level of concern by residents in this area to a proposed sho pping center (Walmart) adjacent to their neighborho od as “extreme”. The Planning and Zoning Board felt that the use of the word “extreme” was not appropriate and should be changed. This change has been incorporated into the Plan. 2. Staff had recommended that the zoning for the Ol d Harbor Office and Bank parcel (Area 1 in the Plan), located at the southeast corner of Linton Bo ulevard and South Federal Highway, be changed from POC (Planned Office Center) to PC (Planned Commerci al) or alternatively to SAD (Special Activities District). A rezoning to PC would also require a FL UM Amendment from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial). A FLUM amendment would not be required for SAD zoning. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that rezo ning of the property be limited to SAD (Special Activities District). The Plan has been changed to retain the original POC zoning with the option for a privately -initiated rezoning by the property owners to SAD (Special Activities District). 3. Staff had recommended that the zoning for the fo rmer Ralph Buick parcel, located on the east side o f South Federal Highway, north of Fladell Way, be cha nged from AC (Automotive Commercial) to PC (Planned Commercial). The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the zoning be left as AC, but that a privately - initiated rezoning by the property owners to SAD (S pecial Activities District) would also be possible. This change has not been incorporated into the Plan. Staff feels that additional automotive commercial development on the east side of Federal Highway is not appropriate and the property should be rezoned to PC. The initial compatibility issues associated with the previous application for rezoning to GC fo r Walmart have been addressed in the Plan with indivi dual tenant size maximums, increased setbacks, buffering requirements and proposed operational res trictions on loading times, etc. 4. Staff had recommended a maximum tenant size of 5 0,000 square feet throughout the redevelopment area. Many of the residents in the area would like 30,000 as the maximum tenant size. The Planning and Zoning Board supported the 50,000 maximum tenant size, but recommended that it only apply to properties on the east side of South Federal Highway. 5. Staff had recommended that a restriction on deli veries/loading/unloading operations be placed on properties adjacent to the residential development on the east side of South Federal Highway. Although this restriction was meant to apply only to the pro perties on the east side of South Federal Highway, it was not so stated in the Plan. Although there was a lso some confusion as to the applicability of other requirements, including special landscape buffers a nd building setbacks on the west side of South Federal Highway, it is noted that the Plan clearly states that all of these requirements are only to a pply to properties on the east side of South Federal Hig hway. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the provisions only apply to properties on the east side of South Federal Highway. This change has been incorporated into the Plan. 6. Staff had recommended a special landscape buffer for properties on the east side of South Federal Highway consisting of a wall and a double row of tr ees. No species or size requirements were stated fo r the trees. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the species and size of the trees be indicated in the Plan. This change has been incorporated into the Pl an. A public workshop was held on July 10, 2012 to disc uss the Plan with the property owners, business owners and residents within the area and surroundin g neighborhoods. A number of e-mails and letters, as well as a response on the Ope n City Hall Forum have been received to date concerning preparation of the Redevelopment Plan. They are attached to this report. Additional letters of objection or support, if any, will be pr ovided at the City Commission meeting. RECOMMENDATION By motion, adopt the South Federal Highway Redevelo pment Plan, based on positive findings that it supports and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Pol icies of the Comprehensive Plan.

A. AGENDA ITEM: SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission re garding the proposed South Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Future Land Use Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies areas of the City that, due to substandard infrastructure, obsolete or inappropriate uses of la nd, vacant and dilapidated structures, and other similarly blighting conditions are in need of special attention in the form of a “Redevelopment Plan.” Goal Area “C” of the Future Land Use Element represents the starting block upon which its implementation strategy has been built. It is stated as follows: BLIGHTED AREAS OF THE CITY SHALL BE REDEVELOPED AND RENEWED AND SHALL BE THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTING AREAS TO THE RENAISSANCE OF DELRAY BEACH. The purpose of a Redevelopment Plan is to identify the specific d eficiencies and assets of an area, evaluate the existing and potential uses, and identify specific measures for arresting decline, facilitating new development, and enhancing the quality of life for residents of the area. Six of these areas were originally depicted on the 1989 Future Land Use Map as Redevelopment Areas #1 through #6. Additional areas have been added since to address changes in conditions. A Policy dealing with South Federal Highway was initially added to the Comprehensive Plan in Amendment 2008 -1, adopted on December 9, 2008. This amendment was based on the City’s 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report which reviewed the entire Comprehensive Plan and made recommendations based on changed conditions and priorities since the last EAR was comple ted in 1996. As the Plan Amendment was being written in 2008, a recession was beginning to take its toll on the national, state and local economies. While the residential housing meltdown and resulting financial crisis affected all sectors of the economy, the automotive industry was especially hard hit by the downturn. In 2008, a series of damaging blows drove the Big Three to the verge of bankruptcy. The Big Three had in recent years manufactured SUVs and large pickups, which were much more profitable than smaller, fuel - efficient cars. When gasoline prices rose above $4 per gallon in 2008, Americans stopped buying the big vehicles and Big Three sales and profitability plummeted. This forced automakers to continue offering heavy incentives to help clear exce ss inventory. Sales fell further as consumer credit tightened and it became much harder for people with average or poor credit to obtain a bank loan to buy a car. The instability of the job market and individual consumers' finances also discouraged consume rs who already had a working vehicle from taking on a new Planning and Zoning Staff Report – July 16, 2012 South Federal Highway Redeve lopment Plan 2 loan and payments, which affected almost all major manufacturers. The overall effect of these conditions was that the industry experienced an 18% drop in new car sales from 2007 levels. As this sit uation was playing out, City leaders saw how volatile the automotive industry had become and became concerned that the large amount of automotive dealerships on South Federal Highway would not be sustainable in the long term. If the industry imploded and d ealers began to withdraw from the area, there would be a major economic impact on the corridor and the City as a whole. The City Commission wanted the area to be evaluated and a Plan prepared that would help the area to become more sustainable. Policy C -1.12 was added to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan which states: Policy C -1.12 The following pertains to the South Federal Highway area, south of Linton Boulevard. In FY 2010/11, the City’s Planning & Zoning Department shall review exi sting land uses in this area and shall create a redevelopment plan, overlay district or other development tool to promote and guide future redevelopment of the area. In 2010, an attempt by Walmart to rezone the former Ralph Buick property on the east side of South Federal Highway from AC (Automotive Commercial) to PC (Planned Commercial) met considerable opposition from the residents of the adjacent neighborhood based on compatibility. The rezoning ultimately failed and the property is still vacant. Althou gh properly designed shopping centers can and do exist adjacent to residential development throughout the City and elsewhere, the level of concern by residents in this area was extreme. It became evident that any redevelopment on this side of South Federal Highway would have to address compatibility with the adjacent residential neighborhoods to the east. The reality of the situation is that commercial property directly abuts residential property in this area. South Federal Highway is a commercial corridor with nearly all of the property having a General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. With this Future Land Use designation already in place, compatibility with adjacent uses is normally dealt with during the site plan review process. Since the “No Big Box” mantra espoused during the Walmart hearings did not adequately identify what the specific issues were with the use, a series of public workshops were set in 2011 to engage residents in a discussion of exactly what their objections were and how th ey might be addressed in the upcoming Redevelopment Plan for the area. Staff’s goal was to separate the use issues from the site planning issues and strike a balance between the residents’ needs and the needs of the commercial property owners. Initially, the primary intent of the Redevelopment Plan was to deal with land use issues and sustainability. However, to increase the comfort level of the adjacent neighborhoods and ensure compatibility, the Plan was expanded to include a number of buffering and set back provisions, as well as a limitation on maximum tenant size. Although some compromise will be necessary, with these provisions in place, staff is confident that the residents’ concerns can be addressed while ensuring that the commercial corridor remain s viable for commercial development and this redevelopment area becomes a catalyst for economic development in the City. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PLAN The South Federal Highway Redevelopment Area includes the commercial property along both sides of the South Fe deral Highway corridor, between Linton Boulevard on the north and the City Limits to the south. Nearly two -thirds of the area (64.76%) is located on the west side of Federal Highway, which runs diagonally from northeast to southwest. Planning and Zoning Staff Report – July 16, 2012 South Federal Highway Redeve lopment Plan 3 The purpose of this R edevelopment Plan is to meet the intent in Future Land Use Element Policy C -1.12 , which requires that a development tool to promote and guide future redevelopment of the area be developed . The Plan is divided into three sections: The Introduction descri bes the Study Area and a brief history of the area. This section also discusses the Future Land Use Element Policy in the Comprehensive and includes the purpose of the Redevelopment Plan and a summary of the planning process that guided it. The Existing C onditions section discusses the Redevelopment Area in terms which reflect on its marketability for commercial development. This includes a brief description of the existing land uses, zoning, f uture l and u se, housing, ownership, and vacant land. The Pl an Implementation section outlines the potential plan for redevelopment of the properties within the Redevelopment Area. The section establishes recommendations for Future Land Use Map amendments , z oning changes and amendments to the Land Development Regul ations . These recommendations work toward making the area more marketable for commercial development while protecting the surrounding residential uses from the impacts of redevelopment . It is the intent of this plan to make the South Federal Highway Redev elopment Area a unique place that will encourage the development of commercial , office , and residential uses in an urban setting that will be sustainable into the future . This in turn, should serve as a catalyst to stabilize the area and increase property values . The private sector will be the driving force behind the revitalization of the Redevelopment Area. This plan will give private property owners and developers a clear understanding of what the future could hold if they develop in the prescribed mann er as suggested by this plan. Recommendations for the Redevelopment Area will require the City to initiate several changes to the Future Land Use Map and corresponding Zoning designations. Recommended designations are discussed below: FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS Over 92 percent of the South Federal Highway Redevelopment Area is currently designated as GC (General Commercial) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The remaining 8% is designated TRN (Transitional). Three Future Land Use Map modification s are recommended for the Redevelopment Area. All three change the FLUM designation from TRN to GC. With these modifications, the entire redevelopment area will have a GC FLUM designation, which is appropriate given the nature of this highly commercialized corridor. Following adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, these modifications will be processed as small scale comprehensive plan amendments . The proposed amendments are as follows : Area 1: The Old Harbor Office and Bank parcel located at the southeast cor ner of Linton Boulevard and South Federal Highway – Change the FLUM designation from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial) – approximately 9.95 acres. The property is currently zoned POC (Planned Office Center). A concurrent rezoning to PC (Planned Commercial) will allow development of a commercial center on the property. While an alternative rezoning to SAD is also possible, this district is usually reserved for uses that cannot be properly accommodated within more conventional zoning districts. If this alternative is selected, the Future Land Use Map amendment will not be required; since SAD zoning is consistent will all FLUM designations. Planning and Zoning Staff Report – July 16, 2012 South Federal Highway Redeve lopment Plan 4 Area 2: Undeveloped parcels located on the north side of Le Mat Avenue - Change the FLUM designation from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial) - approximately 0.23 acres. A concurrent rezoning to GC (General Commercial) will be processed with the FLUM amendment. Area 3: "Quality Lighting and Accessories", located at the southeast corner of South Federal Highway and Le Mat Avenue - Change the FLUM designation of the rear portion of the property (Lot 30) from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial) - approximately 0.10 acres. A concurrent rezoning to PC (Planned Commercial) will be processed with the FLUM amendment. ZONING Eighty -four percent of the property within the redevelopment area will retain its current zoning. However, implementation of the redevelopment plan will require rezoning of six parcels in the area. The first three of these were discussed above with the Future Land Use Map amendments. Area 1: The Old Harbor Office and Bank parcel located at the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and South Federal Highway – Rezone from POC (Planned Office District) to PC (Planned Commercial) or SAD (Special Activities District) – approximately 9.95 acres. Area 2: Undeveloped parcels located on the north side of Le Mat Avenue – Rezone from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to GC (General Commercial) – approximately 0.23 acres. Area 3: "Quality Light ing and Accessories" located at the southeast corner of South Federal Highway and Le Mat Avenue – Rezone from RM (Multiple Family Residential) to PC (Planned Commercial) – approximately 0.10 acres. Area 4: Former Ralph Buick Dealership located on the east side of South Federal Highway, north of Fladell Way – Rezone from AC (Automotive Commercial) to PC (Planned Commercial) – approximately 6.5 acres. Area 5: Pelican Pointe Condo on Tropic Isle Drive – Rezone a portion of a parcel from GC (General Commercia l) to RM (Multiple Family Residential) – approximately 0.5 acres. Area 6: Del Raton RV Park – Rezone from PC (Planned Commercial) to AC (Automotive Commercial) – approximately 4.59 acres. AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS LDR text amendme nt s will be necessary to create an overlay district and amend the development standards for the PC and AC zoning district s within the Redevelopment Area /Overlay District to increase redevelopment flexibility and address compatibility issues. The propose d t ext amendments include the following: A ll AC zoned properties in the redevelopment area will be allowed the alternative of developing under the PC zoning regulations . M ixed -use residential/commercial development will continue to be encouraged, but condit ional uses for free -standing multiple -family residential development will not be permitted within the overlay district. Planning and Zoning Staff Report – July 16, 2012 South Federal Highway Redeve lopment Plan 5 Individual tenants will be limited to a maximum floor area of 50,000 square feet. T he special landscape setback along South Federal Hi ghway will be eliminated where new development seeks to create an urban edge at the street front by moving storefronts closer to the street and providing parking behind the buildings. The special landscape setback must be provided along portions of the par cel where off -street parking directly abuts the roadway. F açade and exterior walls must be designed to include projections and recessions, so as to reduce the massive scale and uniform appearance of large buildings. Similarly, street frontage must be desi gned to include windows, arcades, or awnings for at least 50% of the façade. The regulations should also address the number and variation in rooflines, appropriate building materials, the clear indication of entryways, and the inclusion of pedestrian scale amenities and spaces. P arking areas must be distributed around large buildings and shopping centers in an attempt to balance the parking and shorten the distance to all buildings, public sidewalks, and transit stops. Parking located at unrealistic dista nces from the buildings that it services should be prohibited. Sidewalks must be provided along the full length of any building where it adjoins a parking lot. Sidewalks must also connect store entrances to the adjacent roadway, bus stops and adjacent neig hborhoods. On the east side of South Federal Highway, special setbacks and building offsets based on building length will be required to reduce the massive scale and uniform appearance of large buildings when the rear of a commercially zoned property is a djacent to a residential zoning district . Machinery equipment, service areas, and trash collection must be screened from the adjacent neighborhood in a manner consistent with the overall design of the building and landscaping. Delivery and loading areas m ust be designed so as to minimize visual and noise impacts. On the east side of South Federal Highway, a landscape buffer, which includes canopy trees, is required for all sites that adjoin residential uses or zoning districts. The landscape buffer shall b e 25 feet in depth, and shall include a wall placed 10 feet from the rear or side property line when abutting an adjacent right -of -way, trees spaced on 25 foot centers and a hedge planted outside of the wall. An additional row of trees on 25’ centers shall also be placed inside of the wall. Where the rear property line immediately adjoins residential property with no roadway or alley between, the wall shall be placed against the property line and the 25 foot buffer provided inside the walled area. Street a ccess shall be primarily from South Federal Highway. No vehicular access is permitted to the rear of the commercial districts onto residential streets. No deliveries, loading or unloading operations in the rear of the commercial buildings are permitted be fore 7:00 AM or after 7:00 PM. A copy of the plan is included with this report for review.

OF FLORIDA (“WMIF” or “Waste Management”). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Franchise Agreement dated September 20, 2001, and as f urther amended, provides for the collection of solid waste and recycling mat erials within the City (the “Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to extend t he term, provide for the grant of BigBelly Solar powered compactors and provide for the clarification of the terms.

Exhibit 1 to the Franchise Agreement is amended by adding the following: SIDEWALK CANS: Waste Management currently picks up individual 30-gallon cans along Atlantic Avenue, the beach area and Pineapple Grove. Out of a total of 104 containers, 84 do not have property control numbers and, therefore, the C ity is not charged for disposal costs by the Solid Waste Authority. Waste Management, by contract, does not charge the City for collection costs but it should b e reimbursed for its disposal costs that the Solid Waste Authority would otherwise ch arge the City. Since the Solid Waste Authority does not reimburse Waste Management for these disposal costs, it shall be the responsibility of the City to reimburse them. 3 The City will be billed $11,046.67 annually or $920.56 per month in arrears, which will be computed as follows: 84 30-gallon containers picked up 6 times per week $42 per ton disposal rate charge by SWA = $2.81 per cubic yard 30 gallon container = .15 cubic yards 35-gallon compactor container = .9 cubic yards 84 containers X .15 cubic yards X 6 pickups per week X 52 weeks X $2.81 = 11,046.67 BUS SHELTERS : Effective September 1, 2012, Waste Management will no longer charge the City for the collection of the garbage cans at the Bus Shelters.

Was te Management shall be compensated for the disposal of the debris to be calculated i n the same manner as the sidewalk cans. For the shelters that have compactors, the capacity shall be .9 cubic yards. The list of the 70 Bus Shelter locations is attached. The City will be billed $2191.80 annually or $182.65 per month in arrear s, which will be computed as follows: 64 30-gallon containers picked up once per week 6 35-gallon compactor containers picked up once per week $42 per ton disposal rate charge by SWA = $2.81 per cubic yard 30-gallon container = .15 cubic yards 35-gallon compactor container = .9 cubic yards 64 containers X .15 cubic yards X 1 pickup per week X 52 weeks X $2.81 plus 6 containers X .9 cubic yards X 1 pickup per week X 52 weeks X $2.81 = $2191.80 The payment for the disposal component of the Sidewalk Cans and Bus S helters shall be recalculated whenever the number of sites or collection days c hange, or when the type of container changes (30-gallon cans/solar compactors), or when the disposal c ost changes. 8. If WMIF decides to change out its fleet and use trucks that are powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines, WMIF agrees to r eplace the Fuel Surcharge Table and the Department of Energy Diesel Fuel Price Index with a CNG Surcharge Table and a CNG Price Index that reflect then current price s. WMIF also agrees that the then current price of CNG fuel will be the baseline price from which the Fuel Surcharge 4 Table will be used to determine the percentage change in the ra tes charged to the customer. It is understood between the parties that such a fleet change will take time and money to accomplish and is not immediately planned, but is in the talking stage within the Company. 9. WMIF agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, with regard to any claim, lawsuit or other cause of action that may be filed against the City as a result of the City extending the term of the Franchise Agree ment, including, but not limited to the payment of the City’s outside attorney fees and costs at the trial and appellate levels. WMIF shall pay any compensatory damages a warded against City (but not punitive, special or incidental damages) and fees and costs that may be awarded to a plaintiff or claimant. However, WMIF’s total obligation purs uant to this Section 9 shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). In the event that WMIF is ob ligated to defend or indemnify the City pursuant to this Agreement, WMIF shal l be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel of its choice. WMIF will not be liable to City under this Agreement for any fees of counsel i f City elects to retain additional counsel other than the counsel retained by WMIF as provided above. WMIF shall not be obligated to defend and hold harmless the City with re spect to proceedings and claims brought voluntarily by City or instituted by City to enforce or interpret this Agreement. WMIF further agrees that if any court of law shoul d determine, through a final and non-appealable judgment, that the franchise agreement bet ween the parties concerning the extension of the Franchise Agreement violates any statute, constitution or law, then WMIF shall voluntarily agree to amend any portion of the franchise agreement, as necessary to comply with the Court order. WMIF’s agreeme nt to indemnify, defend 5 and hold harmless the City shall be limited to any claims, la wsuit or other causes of action that may be filed against City on or before September 30, 2021. 10.

Hasko, PE, Director of Environmental Ser vices THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 7, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.D. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 VALET QUEUE EXPANSION / PRIME STEAKHOUSE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is a request fr om Prime Steakhouse for the expansion of its valet parking queue from two (2) to six, (6) spaces. BACKGROUND The City Commission, at its March 6, 2012 meeting, tabled this request in anticipation of the impendin g discussions regarding the Valet Parking Program, as identified in the Parking Study. While the study suggested potential relocation of the valet queues from East Atlantic Avenue, the location of the queues remains unchanged. Consequently, Prime Steak house has resubmitted its request for the expansion of the valet queue by incorporating two, (2), additional spaces to the south and two (2) spa ces across the street. Attached for your review are the request, diagrams showing proposed spaces and travel routes, and the staff report from the Ma rch 6th meeting. Concerns raised at the March 6th meeting, aside from the timing of the parking study review, included the number of public spaces being devoted to the valet program, the safety of c ustomers having to cross SE 2nd Avenue, and code enforcement issues the City was having with the own er at a neighboring location. The Police Department was having difficulties with traffic in the area, mostly due to cars waiting to access the queue, with some customers exiting cars while in the travel lane, insisting valets take the ir vehicles. Clearly, considering the addition of over 10,000 square feet of restaurant recently opened i n Worthing Place, (Salt and Park Tavern), and an addi tional 3,000 square feet of restaurant with the conversion of the former VFW, a two-space valet queue will be ineffective in accommodat ing traffic demand and will result in gridlocking the intersect ion of 2nd Avenue at East Atlantic Avenue. After considering all concerns presented, the conse nsus of the Commissioners was additional spaces would be needed to accommodate the increased demand . However, the program as a whole needed to be reviewed prior to rendering a decision on this requ est. Staff recommends approval of expanding the queue incorporating the two, (2), spaces on the sou th, and feels the spaces across the street would be a great benefit to the restaurant across the street and traffic in general traveling through the area. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Parking Management Advisory Board, at its meeti ng of January 31, 2012, unanimously recommended approval of the applicant's request. At the Downtown Development Authority meeting of Fe bruary 13, 2012, the item failed to receive a second on a motion to approve the request, and th erefore was not approved. Consensus of the CRA, at its meeting of February 23 , 2012, was denial of the applicant's request in a 2- 3 vote (Lewis, Arts and Branning dissenting). RECOMMENDATION By motion, recommend approval of the applicant's re quest to expand its valet queue from two,(2), to six, (6), spaces as presented. Diagram A Route Red arrows= Drop Off Route Green arrows= Drop Off Parking Garage Valet Stand (Drop Off & Return) Diagram B Parking Queues for Request Existing Valet Queue 2 -spaces Requested spots Valet Stand / Key box Diagram C Valet Stand (Drop Off & Return) Requested spots Existing Valet Queues Item Before Commission The item before the City Commission is that of approving a reques t from Prime Steakhouse for the expansion of its valet parking queue from two (2) to six (6) spaces. Background Prime Steakhouse, located at 110 East Atlantic Ave nue, currently holds a Valet Parking License Agreement for the valet queue on the west side of S E 2nd Avenue, just south of Atlantic Avenue. Queued vehicles are parked in the Federspiel Garage on SE 1st Avenue. While only one 1-block separates the two, the existing traffic grid requires valets to drive 5-blocks to the garage, unable to access SE 1st Ave using eastbound SE 1st Street. While the return trip would be optimal utilizing SE 1st Street, the valet queue on the west side of the ro ad requires the val et to return vehicles to patrons via Atlantic Avenue. In an effo rt to reduce driving distance and improve service, the restaurant is requesting expansion of the queue by adding two spaces, on the east side of SE 2nd Avenue, in front of the former VFW (Vete rans of Foreign Wars) building, for returning vehicles to customers. It is noted that Staff is working with the developer of the VFW in the reconfiguration of the right-of-way on the east side of the road. In addition to the aforementioned, approval of the request reduces traffic on eastbound Atlantic Avenue during its peak utilization. Staff introduced a similar ide a several years ago, finding the separation of incoming and outgoing vehicles streaml ines operations. A shortcoming of the trial was restricting the s paces to customer pick- up only, necessary to avoid lengthy distance to park vehicles. Cus tomers accessing the queue from the north got belligerent and/or attempted u-turns, when asked to use the correct side. This request, however, provides attendan ts with clear sight of both east and west sides of the road, and can efficiently park and r eturn vehicles from either side of the roadway. Furthermore, given the queue's close proximity to Atlantic Avenue , the western two-space queue is, at times, insuff icient to accommodate incoming vehicles given the high volume of traffic at this western fringe of the Downtown Cor e Area. Gridlock in this portion of Atlantic Avenue would paralyze traffic movements in the area. Consequently, the request includes further expansion of the west side to four (4) spaces, assimilating the two (2) spaces south of the ex isting queue. Until recently the queue primarily served restaurants occupying the 110 East Atlantic Avenue building, with few others. Recent occupation of the Wor thing Place restaurants has resulted in a significant increase in parking de mand, and demand is expected to increase further with the completion of the VFW's 3,151 square foot conversion of use to Restaurant Racks. The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) at its meeting of February 23, 2012, raised a concern over the growing number of public spaces dedi cated to the valet parking program. Assuming the valet program provides an additional 500 spaces through the various private lot leases, and calculati ng a 1 .75 turnover ratio, a total of 875 vehicles are accommodated through the use of (including t his request) 54 on-street spaces, resulting in a 16 vehicle, per space, turnover r atio. Normal turnover for on-street parking spaces, utilized by the general pub lic in busy downtown areas, averages approximately three (3) cars per spac e during peak times. Staff is confident approval of the request will provide better service to patrons and reduce several negative impacts, including but not limited to, a reduction of eastbound traffic on Atlantic Avenue between 1st and 2nd Avenues, reduce d travel distance, reducing emissions, mitigating allegations of speeding t hrough the neighborhood, etc. Staff notes that, if approved, all spaces will be used for drop off and/or pick up, contingent on vehicular approach. Review By Others The Parking Management Advisory Board, at its meeting of Januar y 31, 2012, unanimously recommended approval of the applicant's request. At the Downtown Development Authority meeting of February 13, 2012, the item failed to receive a second on a motion to approve the request, and ther efore was not approved. Consensus of the CRA, at its meeting of February 23, 2012, was denial of the applicant's request in a 2-3 vote, (Lewis, Arts and Branning dissenting). Recommendation Move approval of the request from Prime Steakhouse, for the expansion of its val et parking queue from two to six spaces, as described in the preceding staff report.

BACKGROUND The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a listing of the projects with capital expenditures over $25,000 , which the City plans to initiate over the next five fiscal years. The Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) is the first year of that plan, to which the City Comm ission will commit as part of the adopted annual budget. The proposed CIP (FY2012-13 - FY2016-17) is organized by funds, and then line items. Lin e items can be individual projects (i.e. Beach Renour ishment), or annual allocations for repair and replacement such as “Building Maintenance” or “Vehi cle Replacement”. Expenditures on current projects which are not completed in the current fis cal year will “carry over” into the next fiscal yea r. There is overall consistency of the proposed CIP wi th the Comprehensive Plan. The items contained in the Five-Year CIP are contained within the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Projects listed in the CIP closely track the Compre hensive Plan, and are projected to be done within a comparable time frame. Although some projects are s pecifically identified, most are part of overall maintenance and improvement programs. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Planning and Zoning Board, acting as the Local Planning Agency, has the responsibility to review the CIB and CIP annually, prior to their adoption b y the City Commission and issue a statement of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT MEETING OF : AUGUST 20 , 20 1 2 AGENDA NO. V I . B . AGENDA ITEM : STATEMENT OF FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR FY 201 2 -1 3 THROUGH FY 201 6 -1 7 AND THE FY 201 3 CAPITAL IMPROVEME NT BUDGET ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is that of making a finding that the proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. BACKGROUND The Capital Improve ment Plan (CIP) is a listing of the projects with capital expenditures over $25,000, which the City plans to initiate over the next five fiscal years. The Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) is the first year of that plan, to which the City Commission will co mmit as part of the adopted annual budget. The Planning and Zoning Board, acting as the Local Planning Agency, has the responsibility to review the CIB and CIP annually, prior to their adoption by the City Commission and issue a statement of consistency wi th the Comprehensive Plan. This responsibility is expressed in Capital Improvement Element Policies A -3.3 and A -3.4. The attached Current CIP (FY20 1 1 -1 2 - FY201 5 -1 6 ) and Proposed CIP (FY20 1 2 -1 3 - FY201 6 - 1 7 ) are organized by funds, and then line items. Lin e items can be individual projects (i.e. Beach Renourishment), or annual allocations for repair and replacement such as “Building Maintenance” or “Vehicle Replacement”. Expenditures on current projects which are not completed in the current fiscal year wil l “carry over” into the next fiscal year. ANALYSIS The Capital Improvement Plan is reviewed each year by the Capital Improvement Committee consisting of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Finance Director, City Engineer, Planning & Zoning Director and Environmental Services Director. Proposed projects are prioritized within three categories, Critical Items (must be satisfied with in the current year), Mandatory Items (should be satisfied within one year) and Desirable Items (should be satisfied in a time frame greater than one year) and then budgeted accordingly within the overall 5 -year program. As the CIP is compared to the Comprehensive Plan, there should be consistency with regard to the list of projects, cost estimates, and time frame s . There is overall consistency of the proposed CIP with the Comprehensive Plan. The i tems contained in the Five -Year CIP are contained within the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Projects listed in the CIP closely track the Comprehensive Plan, and are projected to be done within a comparable time frame. Although some projects are specifically identified, most are part of overall maintenance and improvement programs. For the purpose of this review, the CIP has been divided into major categ ories which relate to the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and the authorizing policies have been identified.

Harden, City Manager DATE:September 6, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.D. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 28 -12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This ordinance is before Commission for second read ing to consider an ordinance amending Chapter 35, "Employees Policies and Benefits", Subheading "Retirement Plan", of the Code of Ordinances by amending Section35.089, “Definitions”, to amend the definition of “Employee” to include certain previously excluded positions. BACKGROUND At the first reading on September 4, 2012, the Comm ission passed Ordinance No. 28-12. The attached actuarial impact statement shows that if all the eligible employees decided to opt into t he General Employee's pension plan, the City's require d contribution would increase by $49,909 for fiscal 2013. However, as was explained in the agenda memo for the September 4th meeting, if the eligible employees join the pension plan they will no longer receive the 9.5% City contribution to their deferr ed compensation account. So, the City's net cost incr ease would be $7,516. The attached actuarial impact statement now include s all eligible employees. The costs shown above have been updated based on the revised actuarial st atement. RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 28-12 on second and final reading. ORDINANCE NO. 28-12 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 35, "EMPLOYEES POLICIES AND BENEFITS", SUBHEADING "RETIREMENT PLAN", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 35.089, “DEFINITIONS”, TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF “EMPLOYEE” TO INCLUDE CERTAIN PREVIOUSLY EXCLUDED POSITIONS; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

(1) The term "employee" shall not include: City Com missioners; the City Manager (and assistants); the City Attorney (and assistants); depa rtment heads upon their written election not to participate in the plan; former department heads who have elected not to participate in the plan; any person not classified by the City as a regular, full -time employee; any participant who retires and receives early or normal retirement benefits under t he plan, is subsequently re-employed by the City, and elects to continue receiving retirement income du ring the period of employment pursuant to Sec. 35.090(E) of this subchapter; and firefighters and police officers employed by the City who participate in another retirement plan.

PASSED AND ADOPTED in regular session on second and f inal reading on this the ___ day of ___________, 2012. _______________________________ ATTEST: MAYOR _________________________________ City Clerk First Reading_____________________ Second Reading ___________________ MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:R. Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE:August 28, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 12.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETIN G OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 28 -12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Adoption of Ordinance 28-12 regarding a proposed change to allow department head level employees to j oin the general employees’ pension plan a nd buy back previously accrued service. BACKGROUND In 2003 department head level empl oyees were given a 90 day window in which to join the general employees’ pension plan and buy back previously accrued service, where they had been excluded from membership. This amendment will allow current a nd future department head level employees, which include the City Manager and assistants, the City A ttorney and assistants, and department heads, who previously elected not to participate in the plan, th e ability to join the general employees’ pension plan at any time in the future and buy back accrued service. As has been previously discussed with the Commissi on, the City Manager believes this change will be helpful in attracting and retaining employees at this le vel. All of the employees included in this change are at will employees. For that reason, they often elec t to not participate in the Pension Plan when they are first hired, since they have no assurance they will be employed by the City long enough to become fully vested in the City's pension plan. They elect to participate in the deferred compensation plan (457) since contributions to it are fully portable. Once they have been employed by the City for a number o f years they may feel secure enough to buy into the City's pension plan. There are currently four employees w ho would be affected by this change. FUNDING SOURCE The employee would be required to pay the full actuar ial cost to purchase prior service credit. Going forward the City would have to contribute a percenta ge of the employee's salary to the pension fund. However, the City would no longer contribute 9.5% of the employee's salary to the deferred compensation plan. Currently the City's cost w ould increase from 9.5% of salary to 11.95%. In many prior years, however, the City's pension contributi on for General Employees ha s been less than 9.5%, so the City would have realized a savings. RECOMMENDATION Commission discretion.

The Statement must be filed with the Division of Retirement before the final public hearing on the ordinance . Please have a member of the Board of Trustees sign the Statement .Then send the Statement along with a copy of the proposed ordinance to Tallahassee . Summary of Findings •The required employer contribution in the first year would increase by $49,909,from $2,128,666 to $2,178 ,575. •The present value of the pension benefits expected to be earned by the four employees who would be eligible to join the Retirement Plan is $426,013.This assumes all of our actuarial assumptions are met each year.A portion of the $426,013 would be funded by member contributions from the four employees,and the remainder would be funded by the City each year. •The Plan's funded ratio (assets divided by actuarial accrued liability)would remain the same. Other Cost Considera t i o ns •As of October 1,2011 the Actuarial Value of Assets exceeds the Market Value of Assets by approximately $10 ,246,000.This difference will be gradually recognized over the next several years. In turn,the computed employer contribution rate will increase by approximately 5%of covered payroll in the absence of offsetting gains .

Pa g e 1of 1 Coversheet 9/6/2012 htt p ://itweba pp /A g endaIntranet/Bluesheet.as p x?ItemID=5972&Meetin g ID=387 MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:September 12, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 12.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 29 -12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is that of appr oval to individually designate the property located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North, as “Waters – Wel lenbrink Residence”, for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 1108 Vista Del M ar Drive North on the south side of the street, wes t of Andrews Avenue. The property contains a Cape-Cod Colonial Revival style single-family residence constructed in 1938. The building has been minimall y altered which has allowed it to maintain its integrity. To qualify as a historic site, the property must fu lfill one or more of the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations Section 4.5.1(B). The site is being considered for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places as it fulfills the crit eria of (B)(2) for its historical and cultural sign ificance. The residence at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North mee ts the above criteria in that it represents the lifestyle of its original and earliest residents wh o were “wealthy winter residents from the northeast seeking a comfortable and social location…considere d less formal than Palm Beach.” The selected designation name of “Water – Wellenbrink Residence” is derived from Willard Water and H.H. Wellenbrink, the original developers who created th e Delray Beach Esplanade plat which emcompassed all properties located along Vista Del Mar Drive. The structure also fulfills the criteria of (B)(3) due to its architectural or aesthetic significance., as it is exemplified by the Cape Cod/New England Cottage Rev ival style prevalent in coastal areas of South Florida throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The design, while thought “to have been built from a plan book” popular in the 1930s, provides distinctive features such as a stepped cedar shingle roof, dormers, and a central fireplace, among others. The original plans, therefore, do not indicate an architect. However, there may be a connection to Sam Ogren Sr., who is known as the “Father of Delray Architecture”, based on a newspaper article from 19 87. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) will review the subject designation at its meeting of September 19, 2012. The recommendation will be presented to the C ity Commission during the agenda item presentation. RECOMMENDATION Move approval on first reading of Ordinance No. 29-12 to place the property located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North on the Local Register of Historic P laces as “Waters-Wellenbrink Residence”, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensi ve Plan and Section 4.5.1(B) of the Land Development Regulations. 1 Ord No. 29-12 ORDINANCE NO 29-12 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING WATERS- WELLENBRINK RESIDENCE, LOCATED AT 1108 VISTA DEL MAR DRIVE NORTH, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, AS A LOCAL HISTORIC SITE; PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE “ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, JANUARY 2012” PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE .
