ORDINANCE NO. 70-04 (AMENDING LDR SECTIONS 4.4.9. "GENERAL

"CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT")
TO:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
DECEMBER 30, 2004
This ordinance is before Commission for second reading and second public hearing for a City
initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Sections 4.4.9, "General Commercial
(GC) " , and 4.4.12, "Planned Commercial (pC)", to add churches, or places of worship, as a
Conditional Use subject to certain regulations and providing similar regulations for clubs and lodges;
and amending Section 4.4.13, "Central Business District (CBD)", to delete clubs and lodges as a
Conditional Use.
As churches or places of worship have been determined to be analogous to clubs and lodges (both
assembly type uses that operate on an intermittent basis), under the "Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000" (RLUIP A), the "equal terms" provision of the law requires that
"churches or places of worship" be accommodated in a manner similar to clubs and lodges which are
currently allowed as Conditional Uses in the GC, PC, CBD, and CBD-RC zoning districts. The
proposed text amendment adds churches or places of worship as a Conditional Use in the GC and PC
zoning districts, deletes clubs and lodges from the CBD and CBD-RC zoning districts, provides floor
area limitations (3,500 sq. ft.) and minimum separation limitations of 750 feet, airline route, from lot
line to lot line boundary for both uses.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing regarding this item. There was no public
testimony. After discussing the amendment, the Board voted 5-0 to recommend to the City
Commission approval of the proposed amendment to Land Development Regulations Sections 4.4.9,
"General Commercial"; 4.4.12, "Planned Commercial"; and 4.4.13, "Central Business District", by
adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)
(Amendment to the Land Development Regulations).
At the first reading on December 6, 2004, the City Commission passed the Ordinance No. 70-04.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 70-04 on second and final reading.

EETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004
CONSIDERATION OF A CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO LDR SECTIONS 4.4.9
"GENERAL COMMERCIAL" AND 4.4.12 "PLANNED COMMERCIAL" TO ADD
CHURCHES, OR PLACES OF WORSHIP, AS A CONDITIONAL USE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN REGULATIONS AND PROVIDING SIMILAR REGULATIONS FOR
CLUBS AND LODGES AND AMENDING SECTION 4.4.13 "CENTRAL BUSINESS
(CBD) DISTRICT" TO DELETE CLUBS AND LODGES AS A CONDITIONAL USE.
BACKGROUND
As churches or places of worship have been determined to be analogous to clubs and lodges (both
assembly type uses that operate on an intermittent basis), under the "Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000" (RLUIPA), the "equal terms" provision of the law requires that
"churches or places of worship" be accommodated in a manner similar to clubs and lodges which
are currently allowed as conditional uses in the GC, PC, CBO and CBO-RC zoning districts. The
proposed text amendment adds churches or places of worship as a conditional use in the GC and
PC zoning districts, deletes clubs and lodges from the CBO and CBO-RC zoning districts, provides
floor area limitations (3,500 sq. ft.) and minimum separation limitations of 750 feet airline route from
lot line to lot line boundary for both uses.
Pursuant to LOR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LOR amendment must be based upon a finding
that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. As indicated in the attached staff report, while the amendment does not fulfill a
specific Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with them
and accommodates the Federal regulations. Additional background and a detailed analysis of the
text amendment are provided in the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report of November
15,2004.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION
At its meeting of November 15, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing
regarding the proposed text amendment. There was no public testimony regarding the proposed
amendment.
Two ordinances were considered by the Board, the first proposal (Ordinance Exhibit "A") allowed
churches or places of worship as conditional uses in the GC, PC, CBO and CBO-RC zoning districts
subject to floor area restrictions and minimum distance separation requirements. The alternate
ordinance (Ordinance Exhibit "B") allowed churches or places of worship as conditional uses in the
GC and PC zoning districts, deleted clubs and lodges from the CBO and CBO-RC zoning districts
and provided for floor area restrictions and minimum distance separation requirements as previously

indicated. As noted in the Planning and Zoning Board staff report, the deletion of clubs and lodges in
the CBD and CBD-RC zoning districts would result in making the five (5) existing clubs and lodges
non-conforming uses. It was noted that the proposed text amendments were reviewed by the
Community Redevelopment Agency, the Downtown Development Agency, the West Atlantic
Redevelopment Coalition and the Pineapple Grove Main Street which recommended approval of the
alternate ordinance (Ordinance Exhibit "B"). After discussing the amendment, the Board voted 5-0
(Joe Pike left the meeting and Johnny Kincaide was absent) to recommend to the City Commission
approval of the proposed alternate amendment (Ordinance Exhibit "B") by adopting the findings of
fact and law contained in the staff report and finding that the request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in Section 2.4.5(M) of the Land Development
Regulations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion, move to approve the amendment to LOR Sections 4.4.9, 4.4.12 and 4.4.13 by adopting
the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in Section 2.4.5(M) of the Land
Development Regulations, with second reading to occur on January 4,2005.

regarding two LOR amendments the first to Section 4.4.9 General Commercial (GC); Section
4.4.12 Planned Commercial (PC); Section 4.4.13 Central Business (CBD) District and
Section 4.4.28 Central Business District-Railroad Corridor (CBD-RC) zoning districts
"Conditional Uses and Structures Permitted", to add "Churches, or places of worship, and
their attendant educational, nursery, Sunday school, recreational and columbarium facilities"
as a conditional use subject to certain special regulations, pursuant to LOR Section 2.4.5(M).
The second alternative amendment is to amend Section 4.4.13 (CBD) to delete clubs and
lodges as a conditional use and to add churches or places of worship as a conditional use to
Section 4.4.9 GC (General Commercial) and Section 4.4.12 PC (Planned Commercial)
Districts.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6(A), an amendment to the Land Development Regulations may not
be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.

Prior to the adoption of the Land Development Regulations in 1990, "churches or places of
worship" were allowed as a conditional use in all residential zoning districts [except the
Mobile Home (MH) district]; and several office and commercial districts including the RO
(Residential Office), POC (Planned Office Center), General Commercial (GC), Specialized
Commercial (SC), Central Business District (CBD), Limited Commercial (LC) and the CF
(Community Facility) districts.
With the adoption of the Land Development Regulations in November 1990, "churches or
places of worship" were eliminated as a conditional use in the Planned Residential
Developments (PROs) districts; the commercial and office zoning districts; and, were
Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report
LOR Amendment Regarding Churches or Places of Worship and Clubs and Lodges (Social, Fraternal and
Recreational) in the Commercial Zoning Districts
Page 2
changed from a conditional use to a principal "permitted" use in the Community Facilities
(CF) district. Currently, churches or places of worship are allowed as a conditional use in the
R-1-A (Single Family Residential), RL (Low Density Residential) and RM (Medium Density
Residential) zoning districts; and are allowed as a principal use "permitted" in the CF
(Community Facilities) district.
In January 2000, "The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000"
(RLUIPA) was adopted by the US Congress. The RLUIPA provides that...
no government shall impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that
imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person, including a religious
assembly or institution, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the
burden on that person, assembly, or institution - (A) is in furtherance of a compelling
governmental interest; and - (B) is the least restrictive means of furthering that
compelling governmental interest.
The RLUIPA further provides that.. ...
(1) no government shall impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that
treats a religious assembly or institution on less than equal terms with a nonreligious
assembly or institution (Equal Terms).
(2) no government shall impose or implement a land use regulation that discriminates
against any assembly or institution on the basis of religion or religious denomination
(Non-discrimination ).
(3) no government shall impose or implement a land use regulation that (Exclusion and
Limits) --
(A) totally excludes religious assemblies from a jurisdiction; or
(B) unreasonably limits religious assemblies, institution, or structures within a
jurisdiction.
Presently, clubs and lodges (social, fraternal and recreational) which have been interpreted
as non religious assembly are allowed as a conditional use within the GC, PC, CBD and
CBD-RC zoning districts. However, churches or places of worship are not listed within any of
those zoning districts. As churches or places of worship are analogous to clubs and lodges
(both assembly type uses that operate on an intermittent basis), the "equal terms" provision
of the law requires that "churches or places of worship" be accommodated in a manner
similar to clubs and lodges.
Recently, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals (this Circuit governs Florida) ruled in April
2004 involving the Town of Surfside. In the case of Midrash Sephardi, Inc. and Young Israel
of Bal Harbor, Inc. v Town of Surfside, the court held that the Town's restriction prohibiting
the location of church's and synagogues in its downtown business district violated the
RLUIPA. The court determined that the Town allowed private clubs and lodges, that were
Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report
LOR Amendment Regarding Churches or Places of Worship and Clubs and Lodges (Social. Fraternal and
Recreational) in the Commercial Zoning Districts
Page 3
relative to churches and synagogues, (while prohibiting churches and synagogues) to be
located within the business district, thus violating RLUIPA's equal terms provision.
The Town argued that by allowing churches or synagogues in its business district it eroded
its tax base. The court, however, held that because private clubs and lodges were permitted
uses and were analogous to churches, then the Town failed to treat the groups equally, and
therefore the court could not apply strict scrutiny in reviewing the regulation. Given the
above this amendment is being initiated to obtain consistency with the Federal Regulations.

LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings): Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings), in
addition to LDR Section 1.1.6(A), the City Commission must make a finding that the
text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of
the Comprehensive Plan.
While there is no specific Comprehensive Plan goal, objective or policy that is furthered by
this amendment, the changes are necessary to meet the requirements of Federal
Regulations.
Historically, churches or places of worship because of their community oriented activities
were primarily located within or in close proximity to residential areas. Additionally, some
churches or places of worship often offer other community services such as child care and
schools that are not generally appropriate in a commercial area.
However, since clubs and lodges are currently allowed as a conditional use in the GC, PC,
CBO and CBO-RC districts, the RLUIPA mandates that provisions be made for
accommodating churches or places of worship in the same manner. The equal treatment
can be accomplished either by adding churches to these districts, or deleting clubs and
lodges, or a combination of both. Further, as there are concerns with accommodating
churches or places of worship in a commercial setting reasonable regulations applying to
both churches and clubs and lodges should be considered.
The imposition of certain restrictions may not be without merit as noted above, in the case of
Midrash Sephardi, Inc. and Young Israel of Bal Harbor, Inc. v Town of Surfside, the court
held that in applying the strict scrutiny the court looked to see if the regulation "advances
interests of the highest order and is narrowly tailored in pursuit of those interests". The court
determined that the Town could have "enacted narrower ordinances that do not improperly
distinguish between similar secular and religious assemblies".
Due to their intermittent nature, churches and to some extent clubs and lodges are seen as
4'dead space" in the urban fabric of the downtown during normal retail hours. The location of
churches and clubs and lodges within a commercial area provides a break in the retail
activities which does not promote pedestrian activity. A large facility or the proliferation of
smaller facilities within a limited area has the potential to overwhelm a commercial area or
center and change the character of the area. Further, the uses significantly interrupt the
Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report
LDR Amendment Regarding Churches or Places of Worship and Clubs and Lodges (Social, Fraternal and
Recreational) in the Commercial Zoning Districts
Page 4
fabric of the commercial streetscape and pedestrian activity within the area. Given the
above, it is reasonable to consider regulations which would limit the size of a facility and
provide for minimum separation between uses.
The CBO zone district would likely be the most impacted commercial district with the
inclusion of these uses. The purpose and intent of the CBO zone district states "The Central
Business Oistrict (CBO) zone district is established in order "to preserve and protect the
cultural and historic aspect of downtown Oelray Beach and simultaneously provide for the
stimulation and enhancement of the vitality and economic growth of this special area". In
pursuit of maintaining the character of this commercial zoning district while adhering to the
Federal mandates two proposals are brought forward:
The first ordinance (Proposed Amendment Exhibit "A") would allow for the accommodation
of Churches or Places of Worship as well as Club and Lodges (social, fraternal and
recreational) as a conditional use within the GC, PC, CBO and CBO-RC zoning districts
subject to certain special regulations. These regulations would place size restrictions,
distance requirements between facilities in all commercial districts. Within the CBO and CBO-
RC districts certain overlay districts would be created which would limit the locations within
the CBO and CBO-RC for both churches and clubs and lodges. These uses would not be
allowed fronting specific commercially orientated streets. The following is a detailed
discussion of each:
(1) Within the CBD zone district - "Clubs and Lodaes (social, fraternal and recreational) and
Churches or Places of WorshiD and their attendant Sunday school, recreational and
columbarium facilities shall not be allowed on Droperties within the West Atlantic
Neiahborhood, the Beach Core District. one block north and south of East Atlantic
Avenue in the Central Core, nor on NE ~d Avenue (Pineapple Grove Way) between
Atlantic Avenue and NE 4th Street" (see attached location map): Location restrictions have
historically been placed on certain types of uses which, while generally being
accommodated in the district may not be appropriate in certain locations. There is a basis
for considering restrictions on the location churches or places of worship (and conversely
clubs and lodges) within the CBO. As stated above, in a commercial setting, due to their
limited activity during normal retail hours, churches or places of worship create a break in
the retail activities which do not promote pedestrian activity, necessary to sustain
commercial vitality. While the proposed amendment would allow for the accommodation
of churches or places of worship as well as clubs and lodges within certain areas of the
CBO and CBO-RC, given the desire to encourage and maintain pedestrian and retail
activities within the Oowntown area, limitations should be placed on the location of such
facilities.
(2) Churches or Places of Worship and Clubs and Lodaes not exceedina 3.500 SQuare feet
of aross floor area: Within the commercial zoning districts a relatively small facility
occupying a retail building would not significantly interrupt the fabric of the commercial
streetscape and pedestrian activity within the area, thus the proposed amendment
provides a size limitation of 3,500 square feet of total floor area devoted to such uses.
Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report
LDR Amendment Regarding Churches or Places of Worship and Clubs and Lodges (Social, Fraternal and
Recreational) in the Commercial Zoning Districts
Page 5
(3) No Clubs and Lodqes (social, fraternal and recreational) or Church or Places of Worship
shall be located closer than seven hundred and fifty (750) feet from another such facilitv
measured from lot line to lot line boundary alonq a straiqht airline route. The intent of this
regulation is to prevent the proliferation of these uses within close proximity of each other
or within a single shopping center.
Another issue that is associated with the accommodation of churches in CBD is the ability
given the limited land area, to accommodate required parking. Assembly type uses have a
higher parking demand than normal retail uses. [LOR Section 4.6.9(C)(6)(c) and (d)]
provides the parking requirement for churches and clubs and lodges
(c) Churches: Shall provide one space for every three seats provided in the
sanctuary. Additional parking is not required for other uses on the church property
(e.g. Sunday School, Day Care, Preschool, etc.) when such uses are operated as
a part of, under the auspices of, the Church.
(d) Clubs and Lodaes: Shall provide 1 space for every four seats or 1 for every 50
sq. ft. of total floor area, whichever is greater.
Exceptions to the above requirement are noted below for uses located within that portion
of the CBD bounded by Swinton Avenue on the west, N.E. 1 st Street on the north, the
Intracoastal Waterway on the east and S.E. 1 st Street on the south, the parking
requirements for all non-residential uses, except restaurants, shall be one space for each
300 square feet or fraction thereof. Both ordinances would not allow these uses within this
area therefore this is not a concern.
However, if these uses were to be considered it would be appropriate to require parking
consistent with LOR Section 4.6.9 (Le. not allow an exception for these uses).
Under the alternate proposal (Proposed Amendment Exhibit "B), Churches or Places of
Worship would not be allowed within the Central Business (CBD) District or Central Business
District-Railroad corridor (CBD-RC) zoning districts. Conversely, clubs and lodges would be
deleted as a conditional use. Within the General Commercial (GC) and Planned Commercial
(PC) zone districts churches or places of worship would be added as a conditional use and
both uses (Le. churches and clubs/lodges) will be subject the floor area limitations and
separation requirements noted above.
The deletion of clubs and lodges from the CBD and CBD-RC zoning districts would result in
making the five (5) existing clubs and lodges nonconforming uses. The table below and the
attached map list the existing clubs and lodges and their location.
Pursuant to LOR Section 1.3.5 these uses could continue as legal non-conforming uses as
long as they did not cease operation for a continuous period of 180 days. However, as a
nonconforming use they would be subject to limits on repairs and maintenance, provided that
the interior repair work does not exceed 100/0 of the current replacement cost or exterior
modifications do not exceed 15% of the current replacement costs as outlined in LOR

A comparison of regulations of other jurisdictions was conducted:
Churches or places of worship were primarily allowed either as a permitted use or a
conditional use in the residential zoning districts. However, for the purposes of this
amendment, focus was given on the whether the governmental entity allowed churches
within its commercial districts.
Palm Beach County:
Churches or place of worship are allowed in the CN (Neighborhood Commercial), CLO
(Commercial Limited Office) CC (Community Commercial), CHO (Commercial High Office),
CG (General Commercial) and CRE (Commercial Recreational), Districts. Palm Beach
County has the following special regulations for churches:
A church or place of worship not exceeding 3,000 square feet of gross floor area or 150
seats shall be permitted in the CN, CC, TMD (Traditional Marketplace) and a commercial pod
in a POD (Planned Development) or TOO (Traditional Development) district.
City of Boca Raton:
Churches and places of worship of God are allowed as a conditional use in Community
Business (B2), General Business (B4) and Commercial District (C1) zoning districts. The
City of Boca Raton does not have any special requirements for churches.
City of West Palm Beach
Churches, Synagogues, and other house of worship are allowed as permitted use in all
commercial zoning districts. The City of West Palm Beach has the following special
regulations for churches:
1. Minimum site dimensions:
· Minimum site area: 20,000 square feet
· Minimum lot width: 100 square feet
2. Minimum distances:
Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report

· All principal and accessory structures: 30 feet from any residential zoning district or
30 feet from a residential property line if located in a residential zoning district.
· All parking, loading and vehicular circulation areas: 30 feet from any residential
zoning district or 30 feet from a residential property line if located in a residential
zoning district.
3. Maximum lot coverage: maximum lot coverage by all impervious surfaces shall not
exceed 60 percent of total lot area.
Citv of Bovnton Beach
Churches and other places of worship with their attendant uses are allowed in the C-1 (Office
and Professional District), C-2 (Neighborhood Commercial District),' C-3 (Community
Commercial District), C-4 (General Commercial District), CBD (Central Business District).
The City of Boynton has no special regulations for churches in the commercial zoning
districts.
Comprehensive Plan Policies:
The goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan were reviewed and there are
no applicable goals, objectives or policies noted. As noted previously, this amendment is
being initiated to be consistent with Federal regulations. While the amendment does not
fulfill a specific Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not
inconsistent with them.
