INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN
The City of Defray Beach is a coastal community located in southern Palm Beach County. It is
bounded by the municipalities of Boynton Beach and Gulfstream to the north, by the municipalities of
Boca Raton and Highland Beach to the south and by unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west. By
the early 1980's, the City was approximately 850/0 built-out in terms of population.
Given its limited potential for future population growth, the City began to focus its attention on the
revitalization and rehabilitation of areas which are in a state of decline or deterioration. These areas have
been incorporated within the defined geographic boundaries of the II City of Delray Beach Community
Redevelopment Area". This area, which encompasses the older central core of the city, is depicted
graphically in Map H (See Appendix "0 Ie) and by a description of its boundaries in Appendix "A". Since it
contains a significant amount of vacant, under-developed or deteriorating residential and commercial
property, it is within this area that there can be a continuing increase in population growth and an
establishment of commercial ventures.
The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, (CRA) was established in 1985 to guide
the City in its redevelopment efforts. The purpose of the Agency is to revitalize the physical environment
and the economy of the Community Redevelopment Area. The impetus to create the Community
Redevelopment Agency grew out of the work of the Atlantic A venue Task Force which was commenced
in 1984. The objective of the Task Force was to study the Atlantic Avenue Corridor and make
recommendations for an overall plan for improvement. Its work was completed in 1985 when it presented
its report to the City Commission. That report recommended the establishment of a Community
Redevelopment Area as means to fund needed improvements through the use of II Tax Increment
Rnanclng (TIFfI.
After its creation in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency commissioned the preparation
of its first plan under contract with the firm of Wallace, Roberts & Todd, Inc. The resulting plan document,
II The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan", was adopted by the City Commission
on September 9, 1986 by Resolution No. 49-86 and later adopted as an amendment to the City's
Comprehensive Plan on July 12, 1988 by Ordinance No. 57-88. The plan provides the framework for
programming redevelopment activities within the CRA. Since it is not possible or practical for the
Community Redevelopment Agency to fund and implement all redevelopment projects within the
community, the plan sets forth a series of implementation steps and specific projects intended to leverage
or stimulate the type of public interest and private investment necessary to achieve the revitalization.
The plan has been revised several times since It was originally created, in order to update
information and reflect shifts in the direction of redevelopment activity. Revised plans have been
prepared by staff, with input and direction provided by the CRA Board of Commissioners. The City
Commission approved the first plan revision by Ordinance 17-92 on May 26, 1992. Subsequent revisions
were approved by the Commission by Ordinance 60-92 on December 1, 1992, Ordinance 5-94 on
February 22, 1994, Ordinance 48-95 on September 5, 1995, Ordinance 8-96 on March 5, 1996,
Ordinance No. 2-98 on February 3, 1998, and Ordinance No. 33-01 on May 15, 2001.
The current version of the Plan was formally adopted by the City Commission via Ordinance
#1-05 on January 18, 2005.

PART ONE: BACKGROUND
I. AUTHORITY TO UNDERTAKE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
This document has been prepared under the direction of the City of Delray Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969,
F.S. 163, Part III. In recognition of the need to prevent and eliminate slum and blighted conditions
within the community, the Community Redevelopment Act confers upon counties and municipalities
the authority and powers to carry out "Community Redevelopment. U For the purposes of this
Community Redevelopment Plan, the following definition, taken from the Florida Statutes, shall
apply:
"Community Redevelopment" or "Redevelopment-- means undertakings, activities, or
projects of a county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency in a community
redevelopment area for the elimination and prevention of the development or spread of slums and
blight or for the provision of affordable housing, whether for rent or for sale, to residents of low or
moderate income, including the elderly, and may include slum clearance and redevelopment in a
community redevelopment area, or rehabilitation or conservation in a community redevelopment
area, or any combination or part thereof, in accordance with a community redevelopment plan and
may include the preparation of such a plan.
:;
(ì..-
:r
...~ -
The ability of a county or municipality to utilize the authority granted under the Act is
predicated upon the adoption of a "Finding of NecessitY' by the governing body. This finding must
demonstrate that:
(1) One or more slum or bnghted areas, or one or more areas in which there is a shortage
of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate income, including thE) elderly, exist
in the county or municipality; and,
(2) The rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of such
area or areas is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare
of the residents of the county or municipality.

II. CREAT80N OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AG!ENCY
Upon a "Finding of Necessity" by the governing body and upon further finding that there is a
need for a Community Redevelopment Agency to function in the county or municipality to carry out
community redevelopment purposes, any county or municipality may create a public body corporate
and politic to be known as a "Community Redevelopment Agency." The Agency shall be constituted
as a public instrumentality, and the exercise by the Agency of the powers conferred by F.S. Chapter
163, Part III shall be deemed and held to be the performance of an essential public function.
The City of Delray Beach City Commission established the Delray Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency on June 18, 1985, with the adoption of Ordinance 46-85. The organizational
structure of the agency was also established at that time. It consists of a board of seven members
appointed by the City Commission. The term of office of the board members is four years. A
vacancy occurring during a term is filled for the unexpired term. The provisions of Ordinance No.
46-85 have been codified in Article 8.1 of the City's Land Development Regulations.
III. POWERS OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
As authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act, a wide variety of powers are available
to the City of Delray Beach to carry out redevelopment activities. While most of these powers may
be delegated to a Community Redevelopment Agency, others may not. These powers, which
continue to vest in the City Commission, are as follows:
~ The power to determine an area to be a slum or blighted area and to designate such an area
as appropriate for community redevelopment;
~ The power to grant final approval to community redevelopment plans and modifications
thereof;
~ Prior to the approval of the community redevelopment plan or approval of any modifications
of the plan, the power to approve the acquisition, demolition, removal, or disposal of property
and the power to assume the responsibility to bear loss;
~ The power to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds.
The powers which the City Commission has chosen to delegate to the Delray Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency under City Ordinance No. 46-85 include the following:
~ The power to acquire property deemed necessary for community redevelopment, except that
the use of eminent domain shall require specific approval from the City Commission;
~ The power to hold, improve, clear, or prepare any acquired property for redevelopment;
~ The power to dispose of property acquired within the community redevelopment area for
uses in accordance with the plan;
~ The power to construct improvements necessary to carry out community redevelopment
objectives;
~ The power to carry out programs of repair and rehabilitation;
6
"'-
» The power to plan for and assist in the relocation of persons and businesses displaced by
redevelopment activities;
~ The power to receive and utilize tax increment revenues to fund redevelopment activities.
In 1992, the City Commission adopted City Ordinance No. 17 -92 which delegated the
following power to the CRA:
~ The powers to appropriate such funds and make such expenditures as are necessary to
carry out the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969.
Other powers authorized by the Act but which the City Commission has elected not to
delegate to the Agency are:
r-
to
> The power to zone or rezone any part of the city or make exceptions from building
regulations; and to enter into agreements with a housing authority, which agreements may
extend over any period;
:r:
j_":
l'}
> The power to close, vacate, plan, or re-plan streets, roads, sidewalks, ways or other places
and to plan or re-plan any part of the city.
IV. THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Pursuant to State Statutes, a community redevelopment area must be a slum area, a
blighted area, or an area in which there is a shortage of housing that is affordable to residents of low
or moderate income, including the elderly. The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment
Agency generally consists of the older central core of the city which has become deteriorated due to
age, obsolescence, and the lack of investment. Unfortunately, a deteriorating area is self
propagating, and as conditions worsen, residents and private businesses become less willing to put
financial resources into the area. It is this cycle which severely limits the ability of private enterprise
to stop the spread of slum and blight without public assistance.
A "Finding of Necessity" for the initial 1 ,812 acre Delray Beach Community Redevelopment
Area was adopted by City Commission Resolution No. 32-85 on May 14, 1985. A "Finding of
Necessity" for an additional 1 03 acres, located along North Federal Highway, was adopted by City
Commission Resolution No. 47-87 on November 24, 1987, and the Community Redevelopment
Area was thus increased to its current size. The overall boundaries of the Community
Redevelopment Area are shown graphically in Figure 1 and by legal description in Appendix IIA.II A
copy of each "Finding of Necessity" is found in Appendix DB. II In 1995, as a result of an eminent
domain taking, the CRA received a favorable Appellate Court ruling in the Fourth District Court of
Appeals stating the validity of the Necessity of Finding of 1985.
~

<L
V. THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
All public redevelopment activities expressly authorized by the Community Redevelopment
Act and funded by tax increment financing must be in accordance with a redevelopment plan which
has been approved by the City Commission. Like the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Community
Redevelopment Plan is an evolving document which must be evaluated and amended on a regular
7
;0;-
basis in order to accurately reflect changing conditions and community objectives. All
redevelopment financed by tax increment revenues shall be completed no later than thirty (30) years
following the adoption of this amendment to the plan.

PART lWD: EXISTING CONDITIONS
B. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
A. Existing Land Use
Existing land uses in the Community Redevelopment Area follow patterns of historical
development activity, and the requirements of existing and past zoning districts. There are
approximately 1,968 acres of land within the Community Redevelopment Area. A generalized
pattern of existing land use is depicted in Map H (see Appendix "0").
Overall, the single largest land use within the CRA is residential. The majority of the
residential development is comprised of single-family detached dwellings in older neighborhoods.
Starting in the late 1990's the City began to experience a surge in new residential projects in the
Central Business District. Most of these developments consisted of owner-occupied townhouse
style product; however, that trend has begun to diversify with rental apartments, lofts, and luxury
condominium units.
~
....
Commercial uses within the redevelopment area have generally been clustered around the
Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway Corridors. In the Central Business District retail activities are
concentrated primarily along Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 2nd Avenue (Pineapple Grove Way), while
general business, office, and other commercial uses extend north and south along and adjacent to
the Swinton Avenue and Federal Highway corridors. The main retail shopping and dining district
extends along Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean. Pineapple Grove
Way has historically contained more neighborhood oriented businesses such as a grocery store,
drugstore and post office. However, several large scale redevelopment projects are transforming
this corridor i!-1to a retail shopping and dining destination, along with more than a hundred new
residential units being proposed. Another evolving commercial district is in the area of West Atlantic
Avenue and NW/SW 5th Avenue, where new ethnic restaurants and shops are emerging to serve
local residents as well as the wider population.
Light industrial uses can be found scattered throughout the CRA district. One small area in
the southwest comer of the CRA district is zoned for light industrial uses; however, development
potential is limited since it is located within a well field protection zone. Another area is concentrated
along the FEC railroad corridor in the downtown. Several light industrial type uses that had
previously been nonconforming became conforming in 1995 with the creation of the CBD-RC
(Central Business District-Railroad Corridor) zoning district. This district defined the boundaries of
the industrial area, expanded the list of permitted uses and included several special regulations
dealing with overhead garage doors and outside storage. In 1997 the City created an overlay
zoning district for a portion of the General Commercial property situated on Federal Highway,
between NE 14th Street, Dixie Highway, North Federal Highway, and the Citýs northern boundary.
The district allows (under special conditions) uses such as light manufacturing, but it must be
accompanied by a retail showroom component. The change in the land use regulations was a result
of an in-depth study of the area and a need to allow special light industrial into the near-downtown
area.
:t.:
.,L
Institutional and Recreational land uses are located throughout the residential
neighborhoods of the CRA. Among these are four public schools, numerous churches, City Hall, the
Public Safety (Police) complex, the South County Courthouse, the City's Public Works complex, the
library, City Tennis Center, Community Center, and several public parks (see Appendix "0", Map H.)
9
The majority of the vacant land within the Community Redevelopment Area is in individual
building lots located within existing residential neighborhoods.
B. ExistinG HousinG and PODulation
The 2000 Census of Population and Housing indicates the Redevelopment Area contains
approximately 5,724 housing units, with a resident population of approximately 15,258. A
breakdown of total housing units and population by geographic sub-area is provided in Table 2-1
Part Two, Section Three of this Plan. The overall racial composition of the Community
Redevelopment Area is 26.50/0 white, 61 % black and 12.50/0 other. It should be noted; however, that
there is considerable variation in these percentages within different neighborhoods of the
Community Redevelopment Area.
C. ExistinG Traffic Circulation
Overall, the street system within the Redevelopment Area can be summarized as a
symmetrical grid. The local streets define a system of rectangular shaped blocks with the longer
block dimension oriented to the north and south.
Major north/south arterial roadways include SR A-1-A, US 1 , and 1-95. SA A-1-A is presently
two (2) lanes along its entire length with turn lanes at selected points. US-1 has separate 3-lane
one way corridors for northbound and southbound travel. On-street parallel parking is provided
adjacent to the outside edge of each corridor. 1-95 is a major expressway forming the western
boundary of Redevelopment Area. The interchange of 1-95 with Atlantic Avenue establishes this
location as the western entrance to the downtown area.
Atlantic Avenue is one of two principal east/west arterials in Delray Beach. The western
portion of this roadway is presently built as a 4-lane facility with on-street parallel parking. Traffic
signals occur at every other block along this section. Within the central core district, the roadway
narrows to a 2-lane design and virtually every intersecting roadway is signalized. Parallel parking is
provided throughout much of this area. East of the Intracoastal Waterway, Atlantic Avenue widens
to a 4-lane undivided design with parallel parking.
The Community Redevelopment Area's traffic circulation system also includes several
collector facilities including Swinton Avenue, West Fifth and Eighth Avenues, East Second Avenue,
and both North and South First Streets. Additionally, NE. and SE 1 st Street, between Swinton
Avenue and US 1, operate as a downtown bypass system taking some of the traffic congestion off
of Atlantic Avenue.
D. Downtown Parklna
While on-street parking has historically and symbolically served downtown Delray Beach
well, off-street parking lots have been constructed to serve the additional parking needs of shoppers
and employees in this area. A total of 4,388 parking spaces were noted in a 1989 study of the 25
block downtown Atlantic Avenue core. In the time since 1989 additional public lots have been
constructed, however, there remains a need to provide additional public facilities. A study published
in 2003 in connection with the Downtown Master Plan indicated a weekday shortage of nearly 680
spaces in the Central Core area, and a weekday shortage of 319 spaces in the West Atlantic area.
10
These shortages are even more pronounced on weekend evenings, when the restaurants and
entertainment venues are experiencing high volumes.
ID. GENERAL HOUSING CONDITIONS
In conjunction with the preparation of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR), the City conducted a visual survey of its current housing stock. Residential
neighborhoods were classified as to the overall appearance and condition of the structures and
infrastructure (See Figure 1: Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map). The classifications
and their applicable descriptions are as follows:
~ Stable-No apparent signs of physical or other decline; no improvement needed
Y'
~ Stabilization - Appearance of minor code violations and maintenance problems; some
improvement desired
,..
;:
~ Revitalization-Evidence of decline in condition of structures and yards; increase in
crime; property values stagnant or declining
''';
~ Rehabilitation-Numerous code violations; deteriorated and non-maintained structures;
high level of absentee ownership; significant crime problems; large number of vacant
lots
~ Redevelopment-Lack of basic infrastructure; incompatible mix of land uses; numerous
substandard structures and vacant lots
The CRA boundaries are shown in the shaded area on the Residential Categorization Map.
It is evident from this map that the vast majority of neighborhoods designated as Revitalization,
Rehabilitation, and Redevelopment are located with the CRA district. Conditions have improved in
some of these neighborhoods in the time since the categories were applied, however, there remains
a need for concentrated efforts to upgrade the housing stock in those areas marked as
Rehabilitation and Redevelopment Pursuant to objectives and policies contained with the Housing
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, these areas are to receive the greatest priority in terms
of capital improvements, code enforcement, housing rehabilitation assistance, and social programs.
It is a major objective of the City to eliminate all substandard housing conditions within its
jurisdiction. To accomplish this objective, the City and the CRA must work together to develop
programs aimed at maximizing the impact of public expenditures to leverage private investment in
the area.
~
While a great deal of progress has been made by the city in eliminating the signs of
deterioration, the cycle of decline is still present, particularly in the neighborhoods north and south of
West Atlantic Avenue, and cannot be eliminated without a major effort on the part of the public
sector, individual homeowners and private enterprise. In 1994, the City, CRA, and other
organizations created a housing partnership, aThe Renaissance Program, U for the purpose of
developing a housing program to eliminate deteriorating conditions and building new, affordable
housing in these neighborhoods. The CRA has also purchased a number of deteriorated multi-

The program is discussed more fully in Part Four of this plan.
III. GEOGRAPHIC SUB-AREAS
Within the Community Redevelopment Area, there are considerable variations in the degree
of deterioration, land use patterns and existing socioeconomic conditions. In order to develop an
effective plan which is cognizant of these variations, the CRA has been divided into eight distinct
geographic sub-areas (see Figure 2) each requiring a different redevelopment strategy. In addition
to addressing underlying problems and capitalizing on area opportunities, associated redevelopment
strategies focus on maintaining and enhancing major assets which provide positive contributions to
the redevelopment effort. Physical features, (e.g. landmarks, barriers, activity centers, etc.), within
each sub-area are also considered, since they have a significant influence upon specific urban
design decisions which may impact overall redevelopment strategy.

Another significant factor in the development of effective sub-area redevelopment strategies
is the participation of community members. The success or failure of stabilization and
redevelopment efforts is dependent upon the level of public support. Additionally, given the limited
resources available for redevelopment, coordination between public and private efforts is essential
to maximize efficiency and avoid duplication.
A detailed description of each of the eight geographic sub-areas of the CRA is provided
below. Each description provides an overview of existing conditions, including a list of major
physical features, institutions, and developments located within the sub-area.
A. Sub-Area #1: "The Beach District"
This sub-area, containing approximately 69 acres of land, consists of several condominiums
as well as resort hotels and businesses which focus on tourist activity and the beach. The
commercial area along Atlantic Avenue is, with few exceptions, limited in depth to the frontage
buildings. Along SR A-1-A, business uses are limited to the Marriott Hotel on the north side of
Atlantic, and a few restaurants, shops, and small hotels on the south side. With the exception of the
major hotels and some older nonconforming condominium buildings, development is at or below the
48 ft. height limit.
,..,
i
f
- -.
While much of the commercial space fronts directly on the street, there are other instances
where the storefronts and sidewalk are separated by parking lots or large stretches of landscaping.
This condition, combined with the 4-lane, no median condition of E. Atlantic Avenue in this area,
make this part of the downtown less pedestrian friendly than the Central Core area.
Parking is in high demand in the area and all public spaces are metered. Public parking is
located along the major streets, as well as in two shared surface lots: one at the Marriott Hotel on A-
1-A and the other off of Gleason Street that the City leases from the First Presbyterian Church.
There are additional public parking lots located south of the commercial area off of A-1-A, but the
hours that these lots can be used are restricted and their distance from the shops and restaurants
discourages heavy usage by business patrons.
This area has seen substantial private investment in building upgrades and expansions, with
the conversion of the former Spanish River time share project to a Marriott Courtyards Hotel,
renovation of the Bank of America and Waterways commercial condominium properties,
construction of an upper level at Boston's restaurant, and approval of plans to replace a small
shopping center with a 4-story mixed use development at the southeast comer of Gleason Street
and Atlantic Avenue. The Downtown Master Plan includes recommendations for improving
pedestrian safety and increasing parking availability in the area.

B. Sub-Area #2:"The Central Core"
This sub-area, containing approximately 275 acres of land, consists of the City's central
business district (CBO) and several fringe residential areas. The area, while primarily commercial in
nature, contains a mix of residential, commercial and light industrial land uses. The retail/restaurant
core is centered on Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove Way.
The maximum building height allowed in this section of the CRA is 48' except for limited
areas where up to 60' is permitted by conditional use. With the exception of a few mid-rise
buildings, including the office buildings in Atlantic Plaza and the Town Square office building
between the Federal Highway pairs, most of the buildings within the area are one to three stories in
height. The tight massing of structures, particularly along Atlantic Avenue and sections of Pineapple
Grove Way, creates a solid continuous facade of buildings typically associated with older downtown
areas. The architectural styles are diverse, reflecting a downtown that evolved over decades.
The wide mix of businesses further reflects this diversity. From drug stores to designer wear,
souvenir shops, ice-cream stores and water-view restaurants, the downtown area reflects a diversity
of interests. The overall scale of the area is that of a small to a medium sized downtown which
presents a strong sense of place to residents and visitors. As one of the few downtowns in South
Florida to have retained its commercial focus, this area continues to serve as a true community
center.
Renewal and redevelopment have been an on-going activity in the downtown area for a
number of years. Minor renovations and rehabilitation have been ongoing since the mid-1990's,
followed by major redevelopment projects in more recent years. The Atlantic Avenue Beautification
project, which upgraded the sidewalks, parking and landscaping in the Central Core area, was a
major commitment by the City, CRA and ODA to revitalize the downtown business district and
generate private reinvestment. Coordinated hardscape elements, such as lighting, benches and
trash receptacles; specially paved widened sidewalks and street crosswalks and the street tree and
landscape program make this stretch of Atlantic Avenue one of the most attractive downtown
pedestrian corridors in the County. Similar beautification measures were subsequently implemented
in the Beach District and West Atlantic area.
The downtown area is currently experiencing tremendous growth, much of which has been in
the area of new housing. The 33-unit Courtyards project and the 22-unit Town Square
development, which were built in the late 1990's, demonstrated that there was a strong pent-up
demand for urban infill housing. Several other townhouse projects followed, primarily along the
Federal Highway corridor, as well as the 160 unit Pineapple Village rental apartment complex. In
recent years there has been a strong interest in mixed use projects that provide shops and
restaurants on the ground floor and condominium units above. The new CityWalk and The Astor
(former Creations site) mixed use projects being constructed on Pineapple Grove Way reflect this
trend. The FEC railroad corridor runs through the Central Core district, with more than twenty freight
trains traversing the area on a daily basis. Until recently the uses abutting the railroad were
commercial and light industrial in nature, and many had not been renovated in decades. With the
advent of construction techniques that provide significant sound buffering, several new housing
projects are now underway that will place residential units immediately adjacent to the railroad.
Changes in the City's land development codes enabled the increase in the density and scale
that has helped the downtown to become more active and economically vital. In order to address
concerns that the new development would overwhelm the traditional one and two story buildings in
16
town, Design Guidelines were adopted to help to keep new construction compatible with the
downtown's historic scale.
As with most traditional downtowns, street parking played the most important early role in
providing convenient customer access. When the Atlantic Avenue streetscape improvements were
planned, the critical importance of street parking was understood, and the parking was retained to
the greatest extent possible. Increased parking demands created by the redevelopment activities,
along with rising property values, illustrate the importance of moving toward structured parking. In
order to improve traffic circulation and enhance pedestrian safety, the Downtown Master Plan
includes recommendations to change the one-way bypass system (N.E. and S.E. 1 st Streets) to two
way traffic, and widening of the sidewalks along the Federal Highway pairs.

C. Sub Area #3: "West Atlantic Avenue Corridor"
This sub-area, containing approximately 186 acres, generally comprises a one-block (600')
deep corridor on each side of Atlantic Avenue from 1-95 to West 3rd Avenue. The second block of
NW 5th Avenue neighborhood commercial area, located between NW 1 st and NW 2nd Streets is
also included in this sub-area. Overall, the area is characterized by older deteriorating commercial
uses interspersed with vacant lots and vacant buildings. Existing businesses are primarily oriented
to service the immediate neighborhood located on either side of Atlantic Avenue. The rear portions
of the blocks fronting on Atlantic Avenue are predominantly residential in nature with units of both
single family and multiple family designs. A large number of these are of relatively poor quality and
require both minor and major repairs.
i
A redevelopment strategy was put forth for the West Atlantic area in December 1988 and
met with substantial citizen opposition. The strategy recommended acquisition and redevelopment
of the entire area. Since this approach did not allow for the assimilation of existing businesses and
housing into the program, it would have required massive displacement and relocation of primarily
minority businesses and residents. This situation was clearly unacceptable to the residents of the
area. In a counter proposal presented by the West Atlantic Property Owners' Association (W APOA),
it was recommended that redevelopment of the area be accomplished on a block-by-block basis and
that commercial activity be generally limited to a depth of 300 feet from Atlantic Avenue rights-of-
way. This strategy was accepted by the City and included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as
an interim measure to guide land use decision-making prior to the creation of the West Atlantic
Redevelopment Plan.
In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort for West Atlantic by inviting
numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of
17
developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by
professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee
of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and
strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as
II Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed II Visions West Atlantic". "Visions
W est Atlantic" was a forum for a series of community meetings which ultimately produced
recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These
recommendations formed the backbone of the redevelopment plan, which was adopted by the City
in 1995. The plan holds the commercial zoning to the 300' limit on most blocks. Building heights
are limited to 48' with a preference expressed for two- and three-story buildings.
A non-profit development corporation was created in 1998 called the West Atlantic
Redevelopment Coalition, Inc. ("W ARC"). The organization's Board consists of property owners and
business owners in the West Atlantic corridor as well as two CRA Board Commissioners. WARC
advises the CRA and the City on any matter pertaining to West Atlantic. WARC also markets and
promotes the avenue by holding special events and contributing to festivals in the area.
In 2000 the CRA put out to bid 4.5 acres of land it had aggregated for redevelopment
purposes. The successful bidder, Atlantic Grove Partners, consists of a partnership between a
private development company (New Urban Communities) and two local non profit agencies (Delray
CDC and TED Center). The resulting project consists of two 3-story buildings housing 20
condominium units and 46,000 sq. ft. of commercial space fronting Atlantic Avenue, with 55
townhouse units to the rear. The CRA provided subsidies so that 10 of the townhouses could be set
aside for moderate income, first-time homeowners.
In 2001 the City adopted the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan. A major objective of the
plan was the unification of East and West Atlantic into a seamless downtown. The plan caned for
the creation of a "gateway feature" at 1-95 and West Atlantic to signify the entrance to the downtown
at that location. It also provided for public plazas, pocket parks, and streetscape improvements
along West Atlantic and NW/SW 5th Avenues. Many facets of the plan are in the process of being
implemented. In 2003 the CRA contracted with the engineering firm CH2MHiII and Miami artist Gary
Moore to develop a beautification plan for NW/SW 5th Avenue. The streetscape design, which
includes colorful rough terrazzo sidewalks and bronze inlays, was developed in concert with
residents and business owners of the area, and will reflect the history of the avenue and the
adjacent neighborhoods. Constructed is anticipated to begin in spring of 2005.
In June of 2004 the CRA contracted with the engineering firm of PBS & J and a team of local
artists to design the Gateway Feature. Public input is being sought through a design charette, and it
is anticipated that the conceptual design will be completed by March 2005.
The City and the CRA have invested substantially in the beautification of the West Atlantic
Avenue corridor. In 1990, in order to improve the visual appearance of the corridor, the City
developed a greenway program to landscape the vacant private lots fronting along the avenue. This
program was very effective at improving the visual appearance of the corridor. Additional
beautification, including streetscape improvements with paver block sidewalks, landscape nodes
and street lamps, were constructed in 2003 with CRA and TEA-21 funds. The initial phase
improved the blocks between 1st and 6th Avenues; future phases will complete the beautification
through 12th Avenue by 2006.

Sub Area #4: .. Residential Core II
~
i.
This sub-area of approximately 728 acres contains the majority of the City's minority
population. When the area was originally settled, it was considered to be on the outskirts of the City.
However, with the construction of 1-95 and rapid expansion to the west, it is now located in the
center of the urban core. The area is primarily residential in nature containing approximately 2,224
dwelling units consisting of single family, duplex and multiple family structures. Building heights are
limited to 35 feet but the majority of structures are single story. Overall, this area contains the bulk of
the older, poorer quality housing within the city. The depressed economic status of a majority of the
area's residents has made it difficult to provide adequate maintenance of housing units within the
neighborhood. As a result, a substantial number of structures are in need of major repairs and
rehabilitation.
~
~
The neighborhoods north of Atlantic Avenue are comprised of primarily single family homes,
and the housing stock is generally in better condition than the neighborhoods to the south. The
historic West Settlers District lies between NW 3rd and NW 5th Avenues, between MLK, Jr.
Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue. The CRA established the West Settlers Advisory Board to oversee
planning efforts and grant activities aimed at preserving the remaining historic homes in the district.
In addition, the CRA has purchased the historic La France Hotel on NW 4th Avenue and is exploring
plans for its long term use as senior housing. The City and the CRA, in association with the
nonprofit organization EPOCH, have restored the former home of Palm Beach County school
principal Solomon D. Spady into a museum of African American history.
The neighborhoods south of Atlantic Avenue were addressed in the Southwest
Neighborhood Plan, a citizen-driven plan that was adopted by the City in 2003. The plan calls for
the revitalization and stabilization of the neighborhoods through street beautification, housing
upgrades, pocket parks, and improvements to recreational and service facilities in the area. The
plan also calls for the establishment of an inventory of affordable housing to ensure that existing
residents will not be priced out of the neighborhood once the redevelopment takes hold.
One of the largest affordable housing developments in the City, "Auburn Trace", is located
within the Southwest area. This 256 unit housing project was accomplished to provide affordable
housing through a public/private cooperative effort. Another affordable housing project within the
area is Allamanda Gardens, a 36 unit single family subdivision that was developed with County and
City financial contributions. More recently, Swinton Gardens, an 11-unit affordable single family
subdivision, was developed by the City at the NW corner of Swinton Avenue and SW 10th St.

The CitYs only public housing project, ··Carver Estates" is located within the southern section
of the area. This 200 unit development has provided housing for the City's poorest residents for
approximately two decades. However. it was recently found to have structural problems of such a
severe nature that it would be more economical to replace the units than to repair them. The
Housing Authority is beginning its efforts to develop a plan and acquire funding to redevelop the site,
possibly as a combined renter and owner occupied development.
In 1992, the CRA launched an affordable housing program in partnership with Palm Beach
County, the City, the Cornmunity Financing Consortium, the TED Center, the Delray Beach CDC,
and local builders. Through this program affordable single family homes are provided to income
eligible first time homebuyers. The City and CRA are also exploring the possibility of establishing a
Community Land Trust (CL T) which would be a means of creating housing in the NW/SW
neighborhoods that will remain affordable for generations to come.

E. Sub-Area #5: -North Federal Hiahway"
This sub-area of approximately 206 acres is centered on the N. Federal Highway Corridor.
The majority of the area was annexed to the City in 1988 as enclave #24. The City adopted a
-Finding of Necessity" and the Community Redevelopment Area was amended in 1987 and 1989 to
include most of this annexation area. The City paved streets and installed water and sewer service
within the area in 1992. The remaining County enclaves, including the Delray Swap Shop, were
annexed in 1994.
In general, the properties fronting on Federal Highway are used for commercial purposes.
For many years this frontage was utilized for strip commercial and auto-oriented uses with little
sense of order. Buildings may be up to 48' in height but most development in the area is single
story. Up until the mid to late 1990's there were many commercial structures that, due to age and
obsolescence, were poorly maintained or abandoned, creating a negative economic impact and
blighting influence on the entire area. Homes within the residential areas were generally in poor
condition and undervalued compared to other eastern neighborhoods in the City.
In 1996, a joint effort between the City of Delray Beach Planning Department and the CRA
was launched to write a redevelopment plan for North Federal Highway. The plan called for creating
a higher density (up to 18 units per acre) multi-family zoning district, an overlay district over a portion
of the General Commercial which would allow, under special circumstances, light industrial uses,
and a large beautification program. The residents in the area opposed the higher density
components of the plan while the commercial interests largely supported it. The City and CRA
20
t'
'T-
revisited the plan in 1997. After a community wide planning charette facilitated by the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council, the provisions allowing for increased densities were eliminated,
and in March of 1999 the City adopted the North Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan.
In the years since the plan's adoption, several blighted buildings were demolished and/or
redeveloped, including the old Miller Dodge dealership, Arrow Trailer Park, and the Delray Swap
Shop. Two new high-end residential developments, The Estuary and Old Palm Grove, have been
constructed in the area between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway. These
developments have increased the property values of the older adjacent neighborhoods, and are
helping to provide a local customer base for businesses along the highway. There are still several
aspects of the plan that need to be implemented, including connector streets, pocket parks, and
beautification of the neighborhood streets.

F. Sub-Area #6: "N.E. Neighborhood Area"
This sub-area of approximately 260 acres is primarily situated between N.E. 2nd
Avenue/Seacrest Boulevard and the F.E.C. Railway, north of 4th street. A portion of the area,
located south of N.E. 8th Street is within the Del-Ida Historic District. In general, the overall sub-
area is residential in nature; however, some low intensity professional office development is
clustered within the southernmost portion and there is a small industrial zone located in the
northeast corner. Building heights are limited to 35 feet but most development is single story. Two
public schools (Plumosa Elementary & Atlantic High) are located within the area. There are
approximately 760 residential units within the area, consisting of single family, duplex and multiple
family structures. Although the overall housing conditions are good, there are many structures
throughout the area in need of major and minor repairs. The worst physical conditions in the area
occur in several multi-family buildings on N.E 3rd Avenue, immediately adjacent to the railway. Most
of the area has been identified as in need of stabilization and revitalization in the CiìYs
Comprehensive Plan.

In 1997, the City Planning Department, the CRA, and two homeowner associations met over
a one-year period to devise the SeacrestlDellda Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. The planning
effort was one in which local government and residents successfully planned together in order to
create a strategy to improve their neighborhood. The Plan resulted in the pledge by the public
sector (CRA and City) to expend over $2 million, and the residents, through a property assessment
district, to expend $1 million, for street improvements, construction of parking lots, beautification and
a grant program. Most of the improvements have been implemented, including traffic calming,
landscaping of the railroad corridor, drainage improvements, parking lots, tot lot, and establishment
of grant programs for duplex conversions and beautification. In order to promote owner-occupancy
and stabilization of the area, several blocks were rezoned so that multi-family development would no
longer be possible.

G. Sub-Area #7: ··Osceola Park"
This Sub-Area of approximately 168 acres is generally situated between Federal Highway
and the F.E.C. Railroad, south of the CBD. The Federal Highway frontage contains a mixture of low
intensity commercial uses and auto related businesses. There is additional commercialllight
industrial development adjacent to the railroad in the northwest section of the area. The central and
southern portions of the area are single family residential in nature. The overall condition of housing
is generally good south of SE 6th street, although there are many structures in need of maintenance
and minor repairs. The northern portion of the sub-area (between SE 2nd St. and SE 5th St.)
contains the structures in the poorest condition. This area has sandwiched a small area of
residential development between deteriorating commercial land uses. This portion of the sub-area
has been designated a redevelopment area in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Building heights are
limited to 35' for the residentially zoned areas and 48'- 60' in the commercially zoned sections.
In 1998, the CRA and City agreed, along with the Osceola Homeowners' Association, to
create a neighborhood plan to stabilize and improve the area. The City and CRA, with a grant from
the State, conducted an historic building survey. On December 6, 2004, the City adopted the
Osceola Park Redevelopment Plan, which will be jointly implemented by the City and CRA.

H. Sub Area #8: "1-95/SW 10th Street Area"
This Sub-Area of approximately 76 acres is a mixed use area containing commercial and
light Industrial land uses together with a large cemetery and single family residential development.
The single family subdivision is situated between the cemetery and another large vacant area to the
west. The area immediately south of 10th Street, outside the CRA boundary, is light industrial in
nature and sets the tone for this portion of 10th Street. Building heights are limited to 35' for the
residentially zoned areas and 48'- 60' in the commercially zoned sections.
It is important to note that this sub-area is located within the impact area of the City's Series
20 well field. Any development or redevelopment in this area will be strictly regulated to ensure it
does not degrade the CiìYs potable water supply.

u. OVERAll NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
As opposed to specific needs identified within the various sub-areas of the Community
Redevelopment Area, these "Overall Needs" are area wide in scope and encompass some of the
more serious problems that are prevalent throughout the area and contribute to the overall state of
decline.
A. Removal of Slum and Bliaht
The Community Redevelopment Area contains a substantial number of areas with
deteriorated and deteriorating structures that are a detriment to the health, safety or welfare of area
residents. The existence of these slum and blighted conditions contribute to the spread of disease
and crime, decrease the tax base and substantially impair or hinder sound growth. The major
charge of the Community Redevelopment Agency is the consistent removal of these conditions
while subsequently preserving and enhancing the tax base of the Community Redevelopment Area.
The CRA continues to acquire blighted properties and assemble properties to encourage their
redevelopment, primarily by the private sector.
In 1990, the CRA initiated its Subsidized Loan Program. This program, which is available to
residents and businesses throughout the entire CRA district, together with other more specific CRA
Redevelopment efforts, has been an impetus for both residential and commercial improvements
throughout the district. Other programs have since been added, such as the Site Assistance
Program, the Façade Improvement Program, and the Development Regions Grant program, all of
which have helped to stimulate private reinvestment in structures within the district.
B. Land Use
Delray Beach is primarily a residential community. Land uses within the City should be
balanced so that the commercial, recreational and public service needs of its residents can þe
conveniently provided within the community. The Community Redevelopment Area contains a
concentration of the city's poorer, less mobile populations, who are very dependent upon
convenience, commercial and recreational facilities within their neighborhoods. There is a potential
for redevelopment efforts to eliminate some of these facilities in favor of higher intensity
development. Several of the area-wide and neighborhood plans that have been adopted within the
CRA district reinforce the importance of attracting neighborhood businesses and services in close
proximity to the residential areas. The CRA is committed to implementing those plans and the
direction in order to ensure that adequate facilities remain available to meet the needs of area
residents. This will be accomplished through incentive programs that encourage small business
development, provide capital for job creation, and make funds available for renovating or expanding
neighborhood businesses. The CRA is also making a substantial investment in street beautification
and lighting to help attract customers to the redevelopment areas. At the same time, in order to
strengthen the residential areas, the CRA is committed to implementing the projects outlined in
many of the adopted neighborhood plans, such as street beautification, homeownership programs,
and traffic calming measures.
c. Economic DeveloDment
The ciìYs survival as a governmental entity is dependent upon the generation of adequate
tax revenues to meet the service needs of its residents. Projects that increase the overall
marketability of the city as a commercial, recreational and residential area will ultimately increase the
28
~
tax base.
Slum and blight have a negative impact on the tax base of the city and are self-propagating.
Although there is often a tendency to focus on individual redevelopment projects at the expense of
resolving underlying problems in order to set the stage for redevelopment, the existing and planned
CRA projects and programs stress the importance of both. The success of this community
redevelopment effort is largely dependent upon the economic vitality of the area. The _ CRA's
programs aimed at the elimination of slum and blighted conditions and improving the standard of
living of its residents are intended to be catalysts for the revitalization of the entire area. Additional
projects aimed at increasing job growth and generating pedestrian activity in the downtown
complement the process by focusing on some of the underlying problems that originally resulted in
slum and blighted conditions.
~
The CRA is committed to promoting economic development activities through its business
development and site improvement grants, land assembly efforts which make larger sites available
for redevelopment purposes, and support of Chamber of Commerce and DDA programs such as the
cluster study and business recruitment program.
~
J
i
D. Affordable Houslna
In todays economic climate, a major problem for local government is the provision of
sufficient affordable housing to meet the needs of its current and projected population. In general,
the housing delivery system is driven by the private sector, which is a market driven system. The
South Florida area has become an increasingly popular destination and the strong demand for
housing has driven prices continuously upward, so that every city in Palm Beach County is
struggling with the affordability issue. There is more and more pressure on government to ensure
that there is an adequate supply of housing to serve people of limited means. Local government
can have an effect on the housing delivery process in a number of ways, such as by maintaining an
adequate supply of buildable land, providing incentives and density bonuses to builders who create
affordable housing, participating in the costs of infrastructure, reducing impact and other fees, or by
taking an active role through actual construction and sale of housing units.
;ç
In conjunction with the adoption of the Downtown Master Plan the CRA examined the issue
of housing affordability with a citizen's committee that was charged with researching possible
alternatives and programs. The committees lead recommendation to help mitigate the pressure on
housing prices is the establishment of a Community Land Trust (CL T) which would keep the resale
cost of units owned by the trust below market value. The CRA has been working with a consultant
in CL Ts to help establish one locally. Another program that is in the process of being adopted would
provide density bonuses for developers in the Southwest Neighborhood who provide affordable
housing.
The role of the CRA in this process has been and will continue to be one of active
participation. Through programs that improve the overall area, provide financial opportunities to
area residents to improve their living conditions, or by creating incentives for additional private
investment in the area, the CRA has encouraged the improvement of existing housing throughout
the district.

E. Downtown Houslna
.
The survival of retail in the downtown is directly linked to the number of local consumers
supporting the market. Downtown housing comes in different forms, single-family housing, town
29
homes, apartments, and condominiums. Successfully renewed downtowns have the important
element of housing, particularly housing for young professionals, young retirees, and downtown
employees. These residents become strong supporters of local businesses and, in turn, local
businesses are able to improve and expand their goods and services. In recent years the downtown
has seen a surge in growth in downtown housing projects, which has begun to address the lack of
this important downtown element.
The CRA has supported changes in the City's Land Development Regulations which have
encouraged the establishment of new residential housing in the CBD areas. In addition, downtown
housing was a major component in two redevelopment projects that were part of CRA-issued RFPs:
Worthing Place and Atlantic Grove. Continued growth in downtown housing will help ensure that a
strong downtown providing varied products and services can be enjoyed by all of the residents of
the City. These improvements will provide the stimulus and sustainability that the downtown needs
to maintain its vitality.
. .
Atlantic Grove
Town Square
F. Infrastructure
The provision of support infrastructure and community services is primarily the responsibility
of the City. However, the CRA has committed to funding part or all of several infrastructure projects
that are called for in many of the adopted redevelopment and neighborhood plans. These
improvements include modifications to the traffic circulation system, pedestrian safety
enhancements, streetscape projects, and the provision of parking. Parking is an important
infrastructure improvement that is a requirement for successful downtowns. Other infrastructure
improvements may be used by the CRA as incentives to secure private sector redevelopment.
G. Recreation and Cultural Facilities
The CRA is involved in numerous projects that will expand and enhance recreation and
cultural facilities in the district. The CRA is facilitating the expansion of the Old School Square
campus onto the parking lot that the agency currently owns, and will participate in funding the
construction of the parking garage that will replace the spaces in the lot. The CRA also recently
committed to funding some of Old School's operational costs, in order to ensure that the facility can
keep user fees low for nonprofits and community groups. The CRA has also committed substantial
funding and administrative assistance in the establishment of the S.D. Spady Cultural Arts Museum
(photo below), which focuses on the history of African Americans in South Florida, and helped pay
off debt service for the downtown Tennis Center. The CRA has also contributed funding for the
30
ublic library in the 200 block of the south side of West Atlantic Avenue.
The City recently adopted a recreation and parks
master plan I and passed a $20 million bond issue to create
new recreational and cultural facilities and upgrade existing
ones, many of which are in the CRA district. The CRA will also
be working with the City on the provision of pocket parks and
public plazas as called for in the Downtown Master Plan and
the Southwest Neighborhood Plan. This planned recreational
program will be adequate to meet the needs of area residents.
III.
MARKET CONDITIONS AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
~-
Between 1990 and 2000, Palm Beach County experienced a growth rate of 31.1 % with a net
population increase of 267,800 people. In addition to the resident population of 1,131,184 people,
an additional 123, 725 people make Palm Beach County a seasonal destination. Delray Beach grew
27.20/0 from 1990 to 2000, adding almost 13,000 to its ranks to swell past the 60,000 mark. An
additional 7,600 people call Delray Beach "home" seasonally. As the downtown continues with its
physical improvements and business expansion programs, the district will draw increasing numbers
of visitors. Palm Beach County reports increasing visitor expenditures in 1999-2000 from $1.5
billion to $1.54 billion. During these years, there were 4.3 million visitors to the county.
,:
,."
East Delray Beach, (east of 1-95) is expected to grow at a significant level as older areas of
the City of Delray Beach continue to be redeveloped. The "eastward ho" movement is also still alive
and well as more and more of the downtown development is geared toward an urban setting with
urban amenities. The live, work, play model has become increasingly popular, replacing the
suburban model which is reflective of an earlier time. Delray Beach's community visioning
processes of the 1980's and 1990's helped to encourage that trend to take hold in the downtown,
and was further reinforced in the 2002 Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan.
:i.
A. Office Potential
The demand for office space is related to the creation of new businesses as well as to the
desire among existing expanding businesses to IImove-up" to newer or better office space. A
market for large scale office space has been slow to develop, as evidenced by vacancies in some of
the newer office projects such as Town Square (17,400 sq. ft.) and the Grove Square office building
(11,600 sq. ft). The latter building, which was built in 2000 and never occupied, is scheduled to be
demolished to make way for a condominium project. The Atlantic Grove mixed use development on
West Atlantic Avenue has fared better-all of its 42,000 square feet of office and retail has been
committed. A market does exist within the CRA district for smaller professional office space to serve
legal, medical, financial, real estate, computer technology, and related businesses. Due in part to
the large retirement population east of the Intracoastal Waterway demand for medical office space
within the Community Redevelopment Area has been strong. Similarly, there is also a demand for
other professional office space including legal offices. Such users prefer smaller scale personalized
and affordable buildings prevalent in mixed-use downtown areas. The South County Courthouse is
currently undergoing an expansion that win nearly double its size and may increase the possibility for
jury trials to be held in the area. This would lead to a greater market potential for legal office space,
particularly in the West Atlantic Avenue area.
31
B. Hotel Development Potential
Within the Community Redevelopment Area the largest and most modern hotel is the 250
room Marriott Hotel on the northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. At present,
the market for this hotel is balanced with business travelers and tourists. Other hotels in the area
include the Courtyards by Marriott, the historic Colony Hotel, Crane's Beach House, and the Sundy
House, all of which account for an additional 231 hotel rooms.
Redevelopment efforts within the downtown area, aimed at increasing the tourism potential,
may encourage future demand for additional hotel rooms. Because only a very small proportion of
the Community Redevelopment Area possesses the amenity of ocean-frontage, it is unlikely that an
additional large-scale tourist-related hotel could be developed within the area. However, smaller
facilities (100 rooms or so) might be feasible.
c. Industrial Development Potential
When the City of Delray Beach was founded, a major means for the shipment of goods to
and from northern markets was the railroad. Hence, the Central Business District of the City
logically developed around the railroad line. The railroad is not; however, without its negative
impacts (e.g. noise, & vibration), particularly on low intensity development. The City formed the CBD
Industrial Area Committee in 1994 to evaluate the problem and recommend a solution. Data was
collected for the area including land use, building areas, existing parking, and employment. Based
upon the data and upon the characteristics of the area, the committee developed a new zoning
district, entitled Central Business District-Railroad Corridor (CDB-RC). This new district, established
in 1995, more accurately defines the boundaries of the area, expands the list of permitted uses and
includes several special regulations dealing with overhead garage doors and outside storage.
Another area of the CRA which has the potential for additional industrial development is the
Interstate 95/SW 10th Street area. This area, located in the southwest corner of the Community
Redevelopment Area, contains a mix of light industrial and commercial land uses together with a
large cemetery and a single family residential neighborhood. It is important to note; however, that
the proximity of the City's Series 20 Wellfield makes it imperative that development of this area be
restricted to clean industries which are non-impacting on the wellfield.
A third area in which industrial development may be a potential is the area on North Federal
Highway bounded by NE 14th Street on the south, Dixie Highway on the west, Federal Highway on
the east, and the City limit line shared with Boynton Beach on the north. The area, zoned General
Commercial, was granted an overlay district in 1997 by the City Commission which allows light
industrial uses if the user includes a showroom facing Federal Highway.
D. Residential Development Potential
Key opportunities for housing development relate to the availability of vacant land parcels
within the older residential neighborhood. Additional opportunities still exist for private development
of both subsidized and non-subsidized infill housing. Changes in the Comprehensive Plan relating
to density offer new residential housing opportunities in some of the poor neighborhoods. The
South West Plan recommends a series of changes to the current housing stock.
In addition to the need for housing to serve the needs of low-moderate income households,
32
there is also an opportunity to attract younger upwardly mobile households within and adjacent to a
revitalizing downtown area. The high occupancy rates of multi-family residential units in such
locations as Coconut Grove, South Beach (Miami Beach), and Mizner Park, as well as the popularity
of the Atlantic Grove project on West Atlantic Avenue and various town home projects on North and
South Federal Highway, indicate that a segment of the market at a wide range of prices is attracted
to residential environments that combine housing and commercial uses in a "village-like" ambiance.
E. Retail Potential I Downtown Market StudY
In order to better assess the potential for commercial and residential growth in the downtown
area, a market analysis was commissioned as part of the Downtown Plan. The study was conducted
by Marketek, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. Marketek had prepared similar studies for the City's West
Atlantic and Pineapple Grove districts in the mid-1990's. The current study included those areas, as
well as the Central Core and the Beach Business districts. The following information from the study
relates to a marketing strategy for the downtown area.
Defray Beach has drawn upon its artistic characteristics and charm to attract retail
establishments offering a more "holistic" shopping experience. Customers are offered a charming
shopping experience, unhurried, and un-hassled as they stroll the avenue seeking unique items for
gifts or their own personal use. The market for luxury goods continues to grow at unbridled rates.
Delray Beach retailers continue to be leaders in this segment of the market. Shoppers seeking
specialty items reflecting either cutting edge trends or just old fashioned service find Delray popular
as a stand alone shopping region. Shoppers drawn to Delray Beach come from throughout the tri-
county area seeking the city as a "destination" shopping area.

~.
A critical component of the continued economic revitalization of downtown Delray Beach is
the creation of a unified district with complementary businesses that benefit from each other's sales,
customers and markets. The primary vehicle for deve!oping unified groups of stores and
businesses is clustering - creating mutual advantages in terms of pedestrian flow and shared
markets between businesses. Educating business owners, property owners and real estate
professionals about the importance of using this management tool is critical.
t:
Underlying a successful cluster plan for the study area are the assumptions that downtown
will remain a mixed-use business district and that critical to its success will be increasing the number
and variety of business types that will áppeal to and attract target markets. First-floor space should
be reserved for retail and related service businesses. Prime retail apace should be identified and
reserved for restaurants, retail and related service businesses. Office and residential uses should
be located in upper-level space or on side streets near retail corridors. Unique, specialty
merchandise should be the focus of retail expansion for the downtown district. In particular, a range
of merchandise that appeals to multiple customer markets (visitors, local residents and daytime
workers) will have the greatest long-term viaþility.
¿.-;
,.
The Downtown Delray Beach area has been defined into eight clusters. Redevelopment
opportunities are identified for each of the eight clusters 'based on existing uses and attractions,
identifiable linkages among existing businesses, potential pedestrian flow and business
opportunities identified through the retail and residential market analysis.
33
...
CLUSTER 1 - WEST ATLANTIC CoMMUNITY CLUSTER-
West Atlantic corridor from 1-95 to NW/SW 6th Avenue, between NW 1st and 2nd Sts.
Entering downtown Delray Beach from 1-95, Cluster 1 provides the first glimpses of downtown.
Aesthetically, the portion of West Atlantic Avenue within Cluster 1 lacks appeal. Large tracts of
vacant land, vacant buildings, unkempt storefronts, a four-lane road, inconsistent sidewalks, wide
parking lanes and an unrelated mix of businesses inhibit the district's drawing power. Major
businesses within this area include numerous beauty-related (barber, stylist, nails), auto-related (gas
stations, body repair/paint), convenience stores, a meat market and a funeral home. Few West
Atlantic residents interviewed for the market study indicated that they regularly shop or conduct
businesses at these establishments due to a lack of selection/quality of goods and services. As part
of the West Atlantic Beautification project, NW 2nd through NW 6th Avenue was improved with
widened paver brick sidewalks, landscape nodes and street lighting. This project is to be continued
from NW 6th Avenue through NW 12th Avenue in 2005 and 2006.
ODDortunities
As the primary gateway to Delray Beach, Cluster 1 offers visitors their first impression of downtown
Delray Beach. It is crucial that this portion of West Atlantic Avenue be redeveloped to give visitors -
especially those traveling along 1-95 - a reason to enter downtown. A "Gateway" is currently being
designed that would welcome visitors to the city and create a sense that there is a community or
"village" ahead. The median would continue down West Atlantic Avenue, providing aesthetic appeal
and reducing the impact of the automobile.
Apart from serving as an attractive gateway to downtown, Cluster 1 is ideally located to act as a
community retail center with a mix of businesses that serve the needs of residents of neighborhoods
to the north and south as well as other downtown residents. A variety of affordable goods and
services targeted to residents as opposed to tourists are greatly needed in the area as well as
entertainment options, especially for youths. The scale of new construction, fast moving traffic and
displacement of existing businesses and residents are major concerns and should therefore be
considered throughout the redevelopment process.
Focusing on existing conditions and the expressed needs of the surrounding community, the types
'1 of businesses that are most needed in Cluster 1 include:
i
-c} Take-out food (Chinese, chicken, pizza)
-c} Small grocery store, perhaps with ethnic products
-c} Pharmacy
-c} Youth activities (entertainment complex, skateboard park, music recording...)
-c} Music store
-c} Affordable apparel -childrenlinfant's, women's and men's
-c} Shoe store, shoe repair
-c} Video rental
-c} Family restaurant - a "sit down" establishment with something for everyone
-c} Electronics
-c} Affordable household furnishings and house wares
-c} Banks
34
{
CLUSTER 2 - TRANSITION CLUSTER-
West Atlantic corridor from NW 6th Avenue to NW 1st Avenue
Cluster 2 is suitably named the "Transition Cluster" as development pushes westward from East
Atlantic Avenue. West Atlantic Avenue, especially the area closest to Swinton Avenue, is the logical
choice for expansion as space becomes increasingly scarce along East Atlantic Avenue. Access to
1-95 and multiple target markets (e.g., daytime govemmentworkers, nearby residents) make Cluster
2 ideal for redevelopment. Many of Delray Beach's institutional anchors are located in Cluster 2,
including the fire station, police station, courthouse and City Hall, as well as the Tennis Center,
which is one of the city's major recreational anchors.
As in Cluster 1, this portion of West Atlantic Avenue is not a compact shopping district with
businesses scattered along the Avenue separated by parking lots and vacant lots. Apart from
institutional anchors, West Atlantic businesses between NW/SW 6th Avenue and Swinton Avenue
include national chains (Dunkin Donuts, Checkers), restaurants (Jackie-C's, Doc's All American),
offices and services. The recent construction of Atlantic Grove (photo below) in 2004 between NW
3rd Avenue and NW 5th Avenue will help tie this cluster together.

This project provides two solid blocks of first floor businesses that are a
mix of restaurants, retail and service establishments accompanied by
second floor professional space. The third floor loft residences and 55
townhomes at the rear provide a start at developing a downtown urban
consumer base in this area. A mixed-use development on the southwest
corner of Swinton Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue and the new public
library under construction adjacent to the courthouse between SW 1 st
and SW 2nd Avenue on West Atlantic Avenue will help to tie East Atlantic
and West Atlantic together.
To the north of West Atlantic Avenue between NW 3rd Street and NW
5th Street is the West Settlers District, the area within which many of the
African American families who helped settle Delray Beach lived. The
S.D. Spady Cultural Arts Museum, the former home of S.D. Spady who
was one of Delray Beach's most prominent African American citizens, is located on NW 5th Street.
The West Settlers District has become the center of African American cultural heritage in Delray
Beach.

As an area in transition, new development is already occurring within Cluster 2. However, infill
space and marginal structures offer strong redevelopment opportunities. New residential and retail
development, a growing awareness of the African American experience in Delray Beach and
employees and visitors of institutional anchors make this area increasingly attractive to developers.
Streetscape improvements, including widened paver brick sidewalks, street lighting and
landscaping, and traffic calming measures have played and will continue to play a key role in
transforming this area. The intersection of NW/SW 5th Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue is well
located to act as the center of the West Atlantic community. The S.D. Spady Cultural Arts Museum,
a new unique streetscape, a proposed public plaza at West Atlantic Avenue and SW 5th and the
Atlantic Grove project at the corner of West Atlantic Avenue and NW 5th Avenue act together to
create ideal conditions to spur new development and expand upon the community's cultural heritage
theme.
"'-n
35
Due to its proximity to employees (e.g., government), surrounding neighborhoods, visitors of
recreational and institutional anchors and "spill over" customers from Cluster 4 (many of whom are
tourists), Cluster 2 can attract multiple markets. The types of businesses that would best serve
these markets include:
~ R&B and/or Jazz Club
~ Coffee Shop
~ Carry Outffake Out
~ Soul Food
~ Ice cream
~ Reasonably priced restaurants (Mexican, pizza, deli, seafood....)
~ Dry cleaner
~ Pack & Mail
~ Bakery
~ Daycare
-¢- Health club
CLUSTER 3 - PINEAPPLE GROVE CLUSTER-
Generally bounded by NW 1 st Avenue on the east, the FEC Railroad on the west, NE 4th St. on the north and
the east/west alley just north of E. Atlantic Avenue on the south.
Pineapple Grove is developing its own identity as an entertainment and cultural district, separate
from Atlantic Avenue. The western portion of Cluster 3 (west of Pineapple Grove Way) has a strong
residential character. Historic bungalows are scattered along the streets, some of which are being
occupied as office space. Located in the center of the cluster and running north/south, Pineapple
Grove Way is the commercial center of the cluster with a mix of convenience goods/services,
specialty stores, restaurants and cultural activities.
Entering Pineapple Grove Way from East Atlantic Avenue, visitors are greeted with a sign arching
over the street welcoming them to the community. Shortly beyond the welcome sign is the Ocean
City Lumber Company, a development with a mix of
office, retail and entertainment uses located on the east
side of the street. The Lumber Company development
is an exemplary development that not only offers a
variety of merchandise types and services (e.g.,
restaurants, jazz, club, photographic center, art gallery,
florist, Mizner Electric) but green space incorporated
into the project is used for community events.
Architecturally the project builds on one of the
community's most significant historic themes - the
railro~d. The Lumber Company ancho~s the southern end of Pineapple Grove Way, drawing visitors
northward from East Atlantic Avenue to Pineapple Grove.
The following businesses would be appropriate for Cluster 3:
~ Home Accessories
~ Antiques
~ Frame Shop
-¢- Arts & Crafts supplies
36
-¢- Art films
-¢- Live Theater
-¢- Dinner Theater
-¢- Ethnic restaurants
-¢- Unique Retail
CLUSTER 4 - ENTERTAINMENT CLUSTER-
Includes properties fronting on E. Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to NE/SE 5th Avenue
Many of the businesses that contribute to Delray Beach's growing reputation as an entertainment
center are concentrated in this cluster. In terms of density, aesthetics and quality of businesses, the
transition from W. Atlantic Avenue to East Atlantic Ave. is immediate once crossing Swinton Ave
where the road narrows to two lanes. The area is a walk-able, compact shopping and entertainment
district lined with sidewalk cafes, shops, service and office uses. The strong mix of retail and
restaurants seems to have created the winning formula for this area. Traffic is becoming a problem,
intensified by the railroad crossing and drawbridge. The planned parking garage in this cluster
should alleviate this problem. The northwestern edge of this area is anchored by Old School
Square, one of the community's most significant cultural resources. At present, this area alerts
visitors that they are entering "downtown Delray Beach."
-"
!'
~:-
While several of the restaurants/cafes within Cluster 4 are oriented
more toward tourists/seasonal residents and greater market area
residents, rather than residents that live in the area immediately
surrounding downtown, they have greatly contributed to the
downtown's revitalization. Attracting casual lunch spots and specialty
merchandise catering to multiple target groups (e.g.. tourists, year
round/seasonal residents, downtown employees) would help promote
daytime traffic in Cluster 4. Examples of such businesses include:
-¢- Art galleries
-¢- Upscale men and women's clothing
-¢- Luggage
-¢- Travel accessories and gifts
CLUSTER 5 - OscEOLA PARK CLUSTER-
Generally bounded by the east/west alley south of E. Atlantic Avenue on the north, Swinton and SE 1 sf Avenue
to the west, SE 4th St. to the south, and the Intracoastal and SE 7th Avenue to the east
Just south of Delray's most vibrant entertainment area, the Osceola Park Cluster is a mix of uses,
with predominately office and retail uses in the northern half of the cluster and light industrial and
residential uses in the southern half. Within the northern half of the cluster, commercial
development from East Atlantic Avenue generally spills over at ~east to SE 2nd St. East of the
railroad, the connection between East Atlantic Avenue and the area immediately to the south is
stronger with a variety of retail and business services. The development of the Courtyards of Delray
Beach and the proposed Worthing Place has fueled additional development in the surrounding area.
The influence of the Haitian American community in Cluster 5 is evidenced by a variety of Haitian
owned or operated retail, service and community establishment. Cluster 5 has several infill
opportunities, particularly along SE 1st Avenue and SE 6th Ave. One of the greatest weaknesses of
37
the cluster is that it is not pedestrian friendly, especially along the one-way Federal Highway pairs.
Also, the area surrounding the railroad is currently underutilized and visually distracting, although
some new mixed use developments have recently been proposed for these areas.
ODDortunities
Residential development is ideally suited for much of the area two blocks south of East Atlantic
Avenue. Positioned next to proposed shopping and entertainment uses, residents could easily walk
to restaurants, stores, nightclubs, cultural activities, the Intracoastal and the beach. Retail and
service uses that are related to businesses along East Atlantic Ave witt help pull shoppers
southward as well as serve residents of new housing in the area.
Vacant land next to the railroad on SE 3rd Avenue is highly visible and should be redeveloped. In
the southern portion of the cluster, which is more removed from Atlantic Avenue, recruitment efforts
should focus on attracting stores that will act as "destination businesses," particularly along the
Federal Highway pairs and should focus on building upon Haitian businesses already in the area.
This niche would serve the needs of the local Haitian community as well as attract visitors and local
residents who are looking for a unique shopping experience. Businesses that should be considered
for the northern half of Cluster 5 include:
~ Haitian primitive art
~ Haitian restaurants
~ Fresh produce market with specialty produce and herbs - indoor or outdoor
~ Bookstores with French and Creole Books
~ Travel Agents
~ Professional office and residential uses
CLUSTER 6 - WEST OF THE INTRACOASTAL CLUSTER-
Includes properties fronting on E. Atlantic Avenue from NElSE 5th Avenue to the Intracoastal Waterway
Moving eastward on East Atlantic Avenue from NE/SE 5th Avenue to the Intracoastal Waterway,
pedestrian orientation weakens as East Atlantic Avenue opens back up to four lanes and buildings
are predominately one story and, in some cases, set back from the street. One of the community's
historic landmarks, the Colony Hotel (photo below), is located between the Federal Highway pairs
and offers nighttime entertainment on its porch. Between NElSE 6th and 7th Avenue there is a mix
of businesses including a gasoline station, restaurants, specialty shops and several office/service
uses. Office uses along the southwest portion of this block detract from its strength as a retail
location. East of 7th Avenue is Atlantic Plaza, a shopping center with a parking lot fronting on
Atlantic Avenue.
:f.~ .
~.
ODDortunlties
The portion of East Atlantic Avenue between 5th Avenue and the
Intracoastal is ideally suited tp attract tourists, particularly as it is
located between the Marriott and Colony Hotel. However, unlike
the Entertainment Cluster to the west, Cluster 6 should be - and
currently is - geared toward specialty retail that witt appeal to
tourists and local residents.

Businesses that would appeal to local and tourist markets include uses such as:
-¢- Bookstore
-¢- Men's and women's casual apparel
-¢- Shoe stores with a wide selection of sizes and styles
-¢- A gourmet food store
CLUSTER 7 - NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY CLUSTER-
Bounded by the FEC RR on the west, NE 4th and 5th Streets on the north, the north/south alley between NE 6th
and ¡th Avenues on the east, and the east/west alley north of Atlantic Avenue on the south.
Each day thousands of motorists travel within this cluster on the Federal Highway pairs. Similar to
the area immediately to the south (Osceola Park), fast moving traffic along wide one-way roads with
an absence of on-street parking strongly discourages pedestrian traffic. The high proportion of
office uses just off East Atlantic Avenue discourages shoppers from the area. Therefore the few T
retail businesses in the area are less likely to attract shoppers from E. Atlantic Avenue. New
residential development will encourage development throughout the area.
Oooortunities
The Federal Highway pairs present a strong opportunity for new development. There are several
vacancies and infill opportunities. Office uses should be limited to upper story space or in areas
other than in the retail core. In addition to office space, business support services such as printing
services, graphic services and office supplies would be ideally located for cluster 7. Retail and
service establishments should appeal to employees and residents living in newly developed
downtown housing. Although di'ificult to accomplish, the narrowing of the Federal Highway pairs
and providing on-street parking is currently being explored as it would create a more livable and
pedestrian friendly environment.
CLUSTER 8 - BEACHSDE CLUSTER-
Includes area zoned CeD east of ICWW to the ocean
¡;,t~
While there are office and residential uses in this cluster, retail and restaurant uses along East
Atlantic Avenue between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean, as well as the restaurants,
hotels and shops along A-1-A cater largely to the tourist market. The area includes some older
shopping center style developments that are set back from the street and have difficulty being
accessed by pedestrians.
Oooortunities
The Beachside Cluster's oceanfront location makes it one of the most popular areas of downtown.
There are several businesses that appeal to both tourists and local markets. More of the same
should be encouraged. Office uses, particularly at street level, should be discouraged. In addition,
efforts should be made to alert traffic on A 1 A that they have arrived in downtown Delray Beach.

IV. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS OF REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
The following section describes the potential impacts of redevelopment efforts on the
residential neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area and surrounding areas. While
neighborhood impacts have been considered for the specific redevelopment actions recommended
in this Plan, it should be noted that many of these projects are in the early stages of planning.
Therefore, some impacts resulting from their implementation may as yet be undetermined. As these
projects become more clearly defined, and additional impacts are identified, this section of the Plan
will be amended. Other actions described in the Plan for subsequent years are subject to further
refinement and elaboration in the intervening period and are consequently not included in the
consideration of short range impacts.
A. Relocation of DlsDlaced Residents and Businesses
Residential relocations are contemplated by this plan in connection with certain projects. In
the event that existing or future CRA lead agency projects do require the relocation of residents, a
relocation plan will be submitted as a component of the project package prior to official action on the
project. It is also important to note that through the combined efforts of the Community
Redevelopment Agency, the City, and the private development community, the neighborhood
housing stock will be expanded and thereby provide opportunities for the relocation of residents
elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The displacement of some existing businesses is contemplated with the majority of the
planned redevelopment projects of the CRA. During the planning phase of each redevelopment
project, the relocation of displaced businesses will be considered.
To protect the residents within the Community Redevelopment Area, the CRA shall formally
adopt a relocation policy containing procedures for relocation. When required by redevelopment
actions, the relocation of residents within the Community Redevelopment Area will follow these
procedures. Expenses and financial assistance required by these procedures shall become the
responsibility of the Community Redevelopment Agency.
Relocation Polley:
Each Redevelopment Program adopted by the CRA which shall cause the temporary or
permanent displacement of persons from housing facilities within the Community
Redevelopment Area will contain an element and provision for the providing or
replacement housing for such persons in descent, safe and sanitary dwelling
accommodations within their means and without undue hardships to such families, which
such relocation assistance shall include but not be limited to the following methods:
1. All affected residents will receive a timely written notice Of the CRA's intent to
acquire their property;
2. The CRA will identify reasonable alternative housing opportunities for such
displaced family which shall be reasonably comparable to the property being
taken in size, price, rent and quality;
3. The CRA may provide moving expenses in a reasonable amount for each
displaced family;
4. The CRA may elect to provide subsidies to displaced families in cases where
40
suitable replacement housing, reasonably equivalent to the property being taken,
is not available in order to make other replacement housing available within the
displaced families means;
5. The CRA may permit a former owner or tenant to occupy the property after
acquisition for a period of time either with or without rent and any such rent
charge shall not exceed the fair market rent for such occupancy; the fair market
rent should comply with rent specified under Federal Regulations that are used in
the Rent Subsidy Programs;
6. The CRA will endeavor to participate with the City of Delray Beach and the Delray
Beach Housing Authority to provide priority assistance to eligible displaced
persons under the Section-8 Rent Subsidy Program and Public Housing
Occupancy, as well as other programs available through the City
B. Traffic Circulation
1=
Although the proposed redevelopment actions will inevitably increase overall traffic, the
Community Redevelopment Area is blessed with an existing roadway network that services the
entire area. The Decade of Excellence Bond contained many traffic circulation improvement
projects including street reconstructions, alleyway improvements and road widenings, which
increased the functional capacity of the existing system. The major redevelopment projects
contained within this plan are generally adjacent to major transportation corridors and are not
anticipated to degrade traffic circulation within the residential areas of the Community
Redevelopment Area.
~
The major impacts of the CRA's redevelopment efforts on the existing roadway network will
occur through its efforts to revitalize and redevelop the downtown core and West Atlantic Avenue.
Traffic calming and traffic connectivity are encouraged in the development process. It should also be
noted that the continued development and redevelopment of the compact downtown core should
also encourage alternate means of transportation, particularity where employment and housing are
within walking distance of each other. A component of the redevelopment effort is the provision of
housing units within the downtown area and many of the residents of these housing units will then
be able to walk or bicycle to shopping or to work.
Ii.
Several other redevelopment projects, located outside the downtown, are aimed at
increasing economic vitality through the addition of employment or shopping opportunities. The
close proximity of residential development to these projects will, as in the downtown, create
opportunities for residents to walk or bicycle to work.
:Æ
""
In early 1995, the Florida Department of Transportation agreed to assist Delray Beach to
establish a uTransportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEAt. The TCEA includes the
downtown area from 1-95 to A-1-A. Establishment of this TCEA allows for exempts new
development and redevelopment in the area from being subject to the County's traffic concurrency
requirements. This was an important tool for facilitating redevelopment, as there is little or no
opportunity in the downtown to widen roads to accommodate increases in traffic.
Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects may still require certain improvements
or modifications to the existing roadway network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when
specific project designs are undertaken. It is also recommended that architectural and site-specific
design solutions be considered to mitigate potential traffic and parking impacts of specific projects
on adjacent residential neighborhoods.
41
c. Environmental Qualitv
The redevelopment actions proposed in the Plan are intended to improve the environmental
quality within the Redevelopment Area. At least one program, the Subsidized Loan Program,
addresses this issue by providing interest subsidies on exterior improvement loans for residents and
businesses throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. Improvements associated with this
program help foster a sense of community pride and spur additional revitalization efforts throughout
the area.
Other programs that assist with environmental quality are the Paint Up Program available to
commercial and multi-family residential buildings in the West Atlantic area, the Business
Development Program that assists new businesses in the West Atlantic area with rent subsidies,
and the Site Assistance Program that assists new businesses in the Community Redevelopment
area with partial reimbursement for exterior improvements.
Streetscape and landscape improvements associated with many of the redevelopment
projects will, when completed, upgrade the overall appearance of surrounding areas. Several
projects, involving removal of existing uses and then full-scale redevelopment will improve the
appearance of several blocks within the downtown.
D. Availability of Community Facilities and Services
Since the Community Redevelopment Area contains the oldest sections of the City, it has the
availability of the full range of community services and facilities associated with urbanized areas.
The City of Delray Beach has expended considerable funds on infrastructure improvements and
beautification efforts. Additionally, in the 1990's the City has spent over 21 million dollars on public
improvements through its Decade of Excellence bond program. The majority of the improvements
funded by the bond are located within the Community Redevelopment Area and include several
major drainage projects and the new Fire Station Headquarters.
In 2004, the City of Delray Beach passed a Parks and Recreation Bond which focuses on
the acquisition of land for three new parks and the installation of a soccer complex to be built on the
existing Atlantic High School site when the new high school is completed. Funding from the 2004
bonds will also assist with the Old School Square expansion and the construction of a parking
garage on that site.
E. Effect on School PODulation
At the present time, there are five public schools within the Community Redevelopment Area
and one school, Pine Grove Elementary, is on the fringe of the CRA boundary.
The School Board has planned for the relocation of Atlantic High School to a new building
west of 1-95, placing the high school out of the Community Redevelopment area. The Village
Academy opened in the Fall of 2000 with grades K-2, adding grades each year until they reach the
12th grade. Carver Middle School was renamed the Delray Full Service Center, which is an
alternative school. This school site also houses a head start program and other community classes
such as adult literacy programs, etc. No other major actions affecting existing school facilities within
the Redevelopment Area are planned by the Palm Beach County School Board at this time. The
residential development programs identified within the Community Redevelopment Plan will likely
42
represent only a small percentage of overall County population growth.

V. RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Florida Statutes require that the Community Redevelopment Plan be consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. In order to remain current in the fast-paced, highly volatile economy of
South Florida, the Community Redevelopment Plan is amended when programs are changed or as
new programs and projects that were not included in the original plan are proposed. To maintain
consistency with the City's Plan a two-tiered approach is used during the amendment process.
The first step in the process is an administrative determination by the City Manager, or his
designee, as to whether the proposed amendment is procedural/technical (e.g. changes to dates,
amounts of project funding, updates, etc.) or substantive, (adoption of a new program). Under the
former determination, the amendment would go directly to the City Commission with the staff finding.
Under the latter, the amendment would first be reviewed by the LPA (P&Z Board) for determination
of consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan and then forwarded to the City Commission with
recommendations.
'"
Since amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan require a time consuming process and
are allowed only twice a year except in cases of emergency, the Community Redevelopment Plan
will not be completely assimilated into the Comprehensive Plan.
Those portions of the CRA Plan and subsequent amendments which involve only the
resources of the CRA will not be included within the CitYs Comprehensive Plan. However,
whenever significant City Participation is a part of a CRA project and such participation has not been
addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, it may be necessary to process a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment prior to action by the City. Generally, it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive
Plan in order to accommodate the following:
· Those portions of the CRA Plan which would otherwise be in conflict or
43
~
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it is now written;
· To provide City financing, or financial assistance, to projects identified in the
CRA Plan which are not already in the Comprehensive Plan; and
. To reassess and modify existing policies in the Land Use Element calling for
joint CRA/City participation.
It is anticipated that implementation of some of the Community Redevelopment Agencys
programs will require City financing or financial assistance. Redevelopment projects which are
dependant upon changes in zoning, land use designations, or amendments to the Land
Development Regulations may be delayed until the City can make the required changes.
44
PART FOUR: THE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
I. REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
When considering redevelopment strategies it is important to note that the CRA cannot
possibly fund the immense task of redevelopment on its own. It must therefore structure its
programs to act as catalysts for redevelopment efforts by individual residents and businesses within
the CRA and to leverage investment by private enterprise. With limited resources available for
redevelopment efforts, the Agency must be careful not to spread itself too thin by attempting to do
too much at once. Innovative programming on the part of the Agency is necessary to maximize
benefits from expenditures. Since the implementation of a few strategically placed well-funded
programs may have a much greater impact on the overall area than many inadequately funded
ones, programs must be evaluated in the context of the agency's overall goals, and implemented
accordingly.
The following are brief, generalized descriptions of the redevelopment strategies for the
various subareas within the CRA district. Most of these strategies are articulated in greater detail
in individual redevelopment or neighborhood plans. The following section (Section II) describes the
various projects and programs that have been created to implement those strategies. Table"" lists
the geographic subareas and the corresponding projects and programs.
'?
tl>
t
~
A. Sub Area 1: "The Beach District"
The redevelopment strategy for this area is to promote infill development that follows
traditional downtown patterns, with the storefronts close to the street and parking at the rear of the
buildings. Street improvements are planned to enhance pedestrian safety in the commercial area
along A-1-A, and also along East Atlantic Avenue. Additional parking will be provided through
private/public partnerships.
B.
Sub-Area 2: "The Central Core"
to;.
The redevelopment strategy for this area is to have it evolve from an upscale leisure area
that depends on tourists and outsiders for its survival to a traditional, self-sufficient downtown.
Efforts will be made to provide for a sustainable mix of office, entertainment, dining, residential, and
shopping uses. Modifications to the transportation system will improve circulation in and around
the downtown, and enhance pedestrian safety. Centralized parking structures will replace many of
the surface parking lots, and existing spaces will be better utilized through shared parking
arrangements. Expansions and enhancements of the public spaces at Old School Square and
Worthing Park are planned. Restoration and preservation of historic structures will be promoted and
encouraged in the AOld School Square Historic Arts District."
f
L~
c. Sub-Area 3: liThe West Atlantic Avenue Corridor"
The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to create a positive visual impact and
emphasize its importance as the entrance to the downtown, and to encourage development that is
supportive of and compatible with adjacent neighborhoods. Redevelopment projects shall provide a
45
mix of uses (residential and commercial), with an emphasis on neighborhood-serving businesses. A
mix of housing types and affordability ranges is encouraged. Strategies such as a community land
trust and density bonuses shall be used to provide for affordable housing. Enhancements will be
made to West Atlantic and the major side streets in order to beautify the corridors, provide parking,
and highlight the culture and history of the area. Assistance will be provided to promote the
development of small businesses and those that are locally owned.
D. Sub-Area 4: "The Residential Core'l
Development in the southwest area shall be consistent with the Southwest Neighborhood
Plan, with a particular emphasis on the preservation and creation of affordable housing, elimination
or rehabilitation of substandard housing, infrastructure upgrades, and the provision of recreational
facilities and pocket parks. The northwest neighborhood shall be stabilized through preservation of
the West Settlers District and construction of infill single family housing on vacant lots.
E. Sub-Area 5: "North Federal Hiahway"
The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be as provided in the North Federal Highway
Redevelopment Plan. New development along the commercial corridor shall be required to be
closer to the street in conformance with traditional urban planning principals. Improved traffic
circulation will be provided through the creation of additional connections between Dixie and Federal
Highways. The adjacent neighborhoods shall be stabilized through beautification projects and traffic
calming where warranted.
F. Sub-Area 6: "Northeast Neiahborhood"
The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to stabilize the neighborhood through the
strategies described in the SeacrestlDellda Neighborhood Plan. Improvements outlined in the plan
include traffic calming, landscaping, lighting, promotion of homeownership through the duplex
conversion program, and provision of off-street parking.
1
G.
Sub-Area 7: "Osceola Park"
The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) revitalization and rehabilitation
of the commercial/industrial uses along the raîlroad corridor; and, (2) stabilization of the residential
neighborhood through beautification and traffic calming.
H. Sub-Area 8: "1-95/SW 10th Street"
The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to promote the upgrading and
redevelopment of the industrial uses and the stabilization of the existing residential neighborhood
through infill housing and rehabilitation programs.

TABLE 4.1: CRA PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS BY SUB-AREA
II. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS
;j
The projects and programs of the Community Redevelopment Agency are designed to solve
underlying problems which have a blighting influence on the Community Redevelopment Area,
satisfy basic needs of the populace or take advantage of opportunities for economic, social or
aesthetic improvement. Overall redevelopment strategies of both the CRA and the City are
embodied within these projects and programs undertaken by the CRA. This portion of the Plan is
the heart of the Community Redevelopment Program.
The following sections provide a detailed description of all current and proposed projects and
programs for which funding is provided, or will be provided, by the Community Redevelopment
Agency. For organizational purposes, these projects and programs have been divided into three
groups. This organizational structure is not, however, meant to be mutually exclusive, since many
projects contain components which fit into more than one category. Group 11111: Area-wide and
Neighborhood Plans, include the preparation and implementation of area-wide redevelopment

# 1.1: West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan
(For associated maps, see Appendix "D" Maps A. 1 through A.5)
f
i
Backaround
The West Atlantic Corridor between NW and SW 1st Streets is designated as
"Redevelopment Area #1 U on the City's land Use Plan. Due to its location and land use pattern, this
area has considerable potential for mixed-use development. A redevelopment strategy for the area
was initially presented to the public in 1988, which outlined substantial demolition and would have
required the relocation of a large number of displaced residents and businesses. This plan met with
considerable public opposition and was abandoned.
In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of a community planning effort by inviting
numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of
developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by
professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee
of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and
strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as
stakeholders in the resulting process which was termed .. Visions West Atlantic". "Visions West
Atlantic" was a forum for a series of community meetings held over a two-year period that ultimately
produced recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These
recommendations form the backbone of the West Atlantic Redevelopment Plan, which was adopted
by the City in 1995.
~-
48
The community "visions meetings·· recognized that the need to facilitate the redevelopment
of West Atlantic Avenue could not stop with completion of the plan. After a series of discussions,
the group established the need for oversight and a project manager to implement the plan. The
West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) is a nonprofit organization that was created to
advise the CRA and City on redevelopment issues in the area. A staff position was created to
facilitate the monthly W ARC meetings, act as a liaison between W ARC and the CRAlCity and focus
on the implementation of objectives and strategies in the plan. In 1997, the CRA amended the Plan
by incorporating market research and by analyzing, in general, the redevelopment opportunities of
each block in the area. The second amendment was adopted by the CRA and City in 2000.
Also in 2000, the City and the CRA applied for a grant to the MacArthur Foundation to fund
another community planning exercise, the Downtown Master Plan. The geographic areas covered
by the downtown plan included the commercial districts along the Atlantic Avenue corridor from the
beach to 1-95. The plan, which was adopted in 2002, incorporates the provisions of the West
Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan.
Although opportunities exist for private redevelopment of existing structures and vacant
property along West Atlantic Avenue, it has been difficult for the private sector to initiate such efforts
without public assistance with land assemblage and business development. Rapidly rising property
values has led to speculative investments, and has in some cases stalled redevelopment activity as
investors hold onto blighted properties for the maximum return. This program represents the CRA·s
intent to continue the elimination of slum and blight in the area and facilitate successful
redevelopment projects.

# 1.2: "Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan"
The Land Use Element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan required that a special CBO
Development Plan be developed jointly by the CRA and
the City. The purpose of this policy as originally intended
was to prepare a plan that would encourage the
revitalization and redevelopment of the downtown, which
was experiencing high vacancy rates and a lack of
private investment. Another objective was to address
the maximum development that could occur in the area
while still retaining its unique character and charm.
Numerous studies, beautification and redevelopment
projects, special events, and zoning code amendments were undertaken which helped to spur a
major renaissance in the downtown. However, there was still a need to prepare a plan that would
address the question of the maximum amount of development that is desirable, as well as strategies
to ensure that the rebirth and revitalization are sustainable for the long term.

In 2000, the City and CRA applied for a planning grant to the MacArthur Foundation to
complete the Downtown Master Plan. During the application process another objective emerged:
50
:i
that of bridging the gap between East and West Atlantic Avenue commercial districts. Pursuant to
that objective, the Downtown Plan evolved to also include the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Area.
In order to ensure that the planning process was an inclusive and wide-spread effort, a 31-
person Steering Committee was established to oversee the development of the plan and its various
components, and to disseminate information and updates to constituent groups. The planning
process included tours of the area, a weekend long race relations workshop, presentations by
planning experts, and a design charette that was attended by hundreds. The entire process is
documented in the City publication "Creating Inclusive Partnerships." The plan was adopted in
March of 2002, and the Steering Committee evolved into the Downtown Plan Implementation
Committee, which meets on a quarterly basis to evaluate the status and give direction on projects
that are in the plan.
The Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan describes three separate "districts": the West
Atlantic neighborhood, the Central Core, and the Beach District. The plan identifies objectives to
improve each of the areas, and outlines projects to accomplish those objectives.

#1.3: Southwest Neighborhood Plan
(For associated maps, see Appendix "0" Maps B. 1 through 8.3)
Backaround
When the MacArthur Foundation agreed to provide funding for preparation of the Downtown
Delray Beach Master Plan, they also included funding for a plan to address the most distressed
neighborhood adjacent to the West Atlantic commercial corridor: the Southwest Neighborhood.
This area had long been characterized by slum and blighted conditions, including inadequate
infrastructure, high crime, poor housing conditions aggravated by absentee ownership, and a large
number of vacant properties that were not being maintained. In 2002 the City hired planning
consultants JEG Associates to work with the neighborhood on a plan to address these issues. With
some deviations, the plan encompasses the area generally bounded by 1-95 on the west, SW 10th
Street on the south, Swinton Avenue on the east, and the CBD zoning district on the north.
~~
r-
,
A team of neighborhood stakeholders was assembled to assist in the communication and
organizational aspects of the planning process. This group, known initially as the Southwest
Management Team (now known as the West Atlantic Task Team, or WAIT), met on a regular basis
to work with the consultant, communicate with the neighborhoods regarding meetings and
outcomes, provide feedback on various ideas and initiatives, and review the draft plan.
it.
<c
One of the first tasks completed by the consultant was a "Livability Workshop," which was
designed to obtain stakeholder input regarding livability conditions relative to indicators such as
schools, public safety, parks, transit, etc. The results of the surveys and interviews helped
determine the strengths and weaknesses of the community, and provided direction for the plan's
focus.
The plan provides a blueprint for the revitalization and stabilization of the neighborhoods
located in the southwest area. It links the neighborhood residential areas, commercial centers, civic
functions, and green spaces to create a vibrant, pedestrian friendly network of connected
52
neighborhoods.
The CRA participated in the funding and development of the plan, and will be a major
participant in funding its implementation.
Prolect Oblectives
~ Revitalization and stabilization of the neighborhoods in the southwest area

elements see Appendix "E", Project #2.19). Traffic calming, installation of parking lots, and removal
of back-out parking has been completed, as well as the reconstruction of NE 3m Avenue. These
projects were paid for with a combination of City and CRA funding, as well as property owner
contributions through the creation of a special assessment district. As of 2004, ten duplex
conversions have been completed with grant assistance from the CRA. The remaining elements of
the plan that will involve CRA participation include beautification of retention areas along NE 3rd
Avenue; provision of landscape grants to beautify multi-family properties along NE 3rd Avenue;
provision of grants to convert duplexes to single family homes throughout the neighborhood;
assistance with street lighting; and beautification of areas adjacent to Plumosa Elementary School.

# 1.6: Osceola Park Redevelopment & Neighborhood Improvement Plan
Backaround
This downtown neighborhood is generally located between Federal Highway and the F.E.C.
Railroad, south of the Central Business District. Zoning in the area includes R-1-A (Single-Family
Residential), AM (Medium Density Residential), GC (General Commercial), CBO (Central Business
District), and CBO-RC (Central Business District-Railroad Corridor). Land uses are varied,
containing a mixture of single-family and multi-family residences, commercial, and light industrial
development. Since the area is encompassed by well field protection zones, impacts of non-
residential land uses on the well field is a concern.
The northern portion of the area (north of S.E. 5th Street) contains commercial and light
industrial development with inadequate parking and residential uses sandwiched between
incompatible land uses. South of S. E. 5th Street, the character of Osceola Pad< changes to one that
is generally single-family in nature. The overall condition of the housing is adequate, although there
are many structures in need of maintenance and minor repairs. The area has a unique quality that
is attractive for residents who wish to live in a single-family home located close to the Cit}ls
commercial core. With beautification and elimination of blighted conditions, this area can be
stabilized and the number of owner-occupied units increased.

#2.1: IINW & SW 5th Avenue Beautification
(For associated map, see Appendix "0" Map C)
Backarou'UI
This project encompasses the three commercially-zoned blocks of 5th Avenue between
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (NW 2nd Street) and SW 1st Street. The SW/NW 5th Avenue area
was once a thriving commercial and institutional corridor in the heart of the City's African American
neighborhood. In the 1980's, the County provided funding for the two-block beautification of NW
5th Avenue, but the on-street parking was eliminated, which negatively affected area businesses.
Over time several of the businesses left and the street became neglected and unsafe. The objective
of this program is to revitalize the corridor into a thriving district for neighborhood businesses and
cultural activities. It has also become necessary to remove the trees along NW 5th Avenue, since
58
they block the sidewalk and the street does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA).
In 2003 the CRA contracted with the engineering firm of CH2M Hill and Miami artist Gary
Moore to create a new streetscape for the corridor. Several meetings were held at St. Paul's
;:~~~~d O~y N:cat re~7:;~:: '1; hI ',¡~~'-;-,.t.;:;::'~/,,:¡, ;. ': '.: ; 1J§
business owners, and property
owners who shared stories I
about the neighborhood's past '
as an agricultural area and later
as a thriving minority business
district. From these meetings
Gary Moore developed a plan for
a new streetscape. It will include
sidewalks made of rough
terrazzo in patterns that reflect the history of the area. Bronze inserts will depict the various
neighborhoods along the street such as "Frog Alley" and "The Sands." New street lamps will be
manufactured to coordinate with the sidewalk colors. Due to the narrow width of the street right-of-
way, the landscape plan will consist primarily of palms and ground covers. Parking will be restored
along one side of the street (varies depending on the location), and some spaces that currently back
out onto 5th Avenue will be relocated to the alleyway.
Prolect Oblectlves
~ Eliminate blighted conditions along SW/NW 5th Avenue;

#2.2: Block 77 Redevelopment Project (Worthing Place)
(For associated map, see Appendix "0" Map OJ
?,:
..:c
Backaround
Since its creation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has consistently made efforts to
attract new businesses into Downtown Delray Beach. The economic importance of the Downtown
and the need for major attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in th~ 1986
Community Redevelopment Plan. The City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and
competitive commercial marketplace, has included several policies in its Comprehensive Plan
toward achieving that end. In 1993 and 1994 the CRA acquired property on Block 85 (south side of
Atlantic Avenue west of the FEC Railroad) and in 1995 issued an RFP for its redevelopment. The
project resulted in a restauranVretail/entertainment complex known as Grove Square, which restored
night life to the downtown and stimulated a boom in new retail and restaurant openings on Atlantic
Avenue.
60
::t..
Despite significant redevelopment interest in the
area, one large parcel fronting Atlantic Avenue in Block 77
(south side of Atlantic Avenue between SE 1 st and SE 2nd
Avenues) continued to decline. This parcel contains the
former "Executive MaW office building, a four-story building
which was vacant and had deteriorated to the point where
it became injurious to the public health and safety. Due to
the extreme deterioration of this parcel and as a result of
increased developer interest in the area, the CRA
contemplated acquiring the balance of Block 77 and a
portion of Block 78 to create a redevelopment parcel large
enough to accommodate a major generator of economic
development. In 1996, the CRA issued an RFP and
awarded the winning proposer the right to negotiate a
contract for redevelopment. The proposer, a large publisher, would have brought over 200
employees to the downtown. The CRA began proceedings to acquire the four-story structure on
Block 77 but discontinued its efforts after the publisher announced its intention to move its
headquarters to a site west of Interstate 95.
In 1998, the owner of the Executive Mall office building commenced refurbishment of the
42,000 square foot space. The building was successfully leased in 1999. In 1998, after losing its
publishing company prospect, the CRA issued an RFP for the sale of two parcels of land on Block
77, one that had been acquired by the CRA and a parking lot owned by the City. Three bidders
responded in 1998, and the CRA selected the Block 77 Development Group, which had purchased
additional properties on the block. Their proposal, which became known as Worthing Place,
inçluded 219 rental apartments, and approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of retail space (see rendering at
left).
It includes a parking garage on Block 77 for tenants and retail customers, and a separate parking
garage on Block 69 (the westerly adjacent block) consisting of 207 parking spaces to serve the
public and tenants of the Executive Mall building. The proposal also included a payment to the City
of $1 00,000 to refurbish Worthing Park. In 2000, the developer received conditional use approval of
the project by the City Commission and site plan approval by the Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board. An adjacent property owner sued the City over the development, and the project was held
up by litigation until 2004. It is now proceeding through the final platting and permitting phases.

# 2.3: Block 76 - Old School Square Expansion and Parking Garage
(For associated map, see Appendix "0" Map E)
:If
&.
Backaround
This block, located between N.E. 1st. and 2nd Avenues, between Atlantic Avenue and N.E.
1 st. Street, is adjacent to the Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. During the early 1990's, both
this block and the one immediately to the east (Block 84) contained structures in deteriorated
condition and uses which had a blighting influence on the surrounding Pineapple Grove
neighborhood. A major obstacle to the redevelopment of the area was the lack of adequate
parking. Since this was also a problem for Old School Square, the CRA decided to make this the
major focus of its initial redevelopment effort Block 76. The CRA purchased the former site of the
Pierce Tire Company as well as a property that was associated with the former Ocean City lumber
yard on Block #84. These acquisitions were made possible through $500,000 of redevelopment
seed money that was authorized under the Decade of Excellence Bond. In 1996, the CRA
completed the first phase of parking on Block #76, constructing 131 parking spaces. In 1997, the
62
;;,
CRA determined that, due to heightened consumer activity in the immediate area and the
surrounding blocks, an additional parking phase should be commenced. The CRA acquired a
building located along NE 1 st Avenue, the Van Hill property, by eminent domain in order to increase
parking capacity.
In 2000, Old School Square held a community charette to determine the future of the facility.
These discussions resulted in a plan to expand the Old School Square campus onto Block 76,
creating a large urban park. The existing surface parking lot is to be converted to open space, and
a parking garage is to be constructed at the north end of the block. In addition to replacing the 170+
spaces that currently exist on the site, the garage will also accommodate additional parking for Old
School Square, the Pineapple Grove area, and businesses along Atlantic Avenue. In order to
implement the plan, several privately owned parcels in the block must be acquired. In 2004 the City
passed a bond referendum for Parks and Recreation projects, including the Old School Square
expansion. A total of $7 million in bond funds will be allocated to this project.
Prolect Obiectlves
~ Eliminate the blighting influences within these blocks
~ Allow for the expansion of the Old School Square campus and the creation of an urban park
~ Increase property values within the CBD through the provision of open space, vistas, and a
gathering place for downtown visitors and dwellers

Private users located in the area may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or
private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking
requirements for their use;
~ Strong pedestrian linkages to Old School Square, the downtown and the Pineapple Grove
Neighborhood will be established;

# 2.4: South County Courthouse Expansion
i<'
~
:\.
....
Backaround
The location of the South County Courthouse on West Atlantic Avenue was viewed by the
City as a significant opportunity to secure both public and private investment along this important
corridor. Due to its potential as a catalyst project on the Avenue, the Courthouse became a
cornerstone of the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The City successfully lobbied the County
to locate the facility in the West Atlantic Avenue corridor in 1986. Through an Interlocal Agreement
that was adopted in 1986 and amended several times in subsequent years, the City and CRA
pledged to donate land for the original courthouse building and a future expansion.
The $8 million South County Courthouse, Phase One, opened in August, 1990. In
fulfillment of its obligations under the Interlocal Agreement, the CRA acquired several properties
within the expansion area known as B'ock #53 (south side of Atlantic Avenue between SW 1st and
2nd Avenues). These included the 7-Eleven/Coin Laundry (1987), a six-unit apartment complex
(1987), Discount Auto Parts (1991), and the Norris apartment complex (2001).
~
~-
The CRA intended to have the frontage on Block 53 be a redevelopment site for private
commercial development. In 1999, the Delray Beach Library held a planning charette to study the
expansion and relocation of the library, and it was determined that the frontage was the best
available site for the new library. Plans were drawn up for a 48,000 square foot facility that will
include extensive access to computers, an auditorium and meeting rooms, and a café, all of which
will help to generate pedestrian activity in the West Atlantic corridor. In 2004 a 355-space parking
garage was constructed with County, City, and CRA funds to serve the courthouse and library. The
new library is currently under construction and plans have been approved for the courthouse
expansion. Preliminary plans have been presented for a future expansion of the parking garage, the
construction of which is dependent upon future demand and funding availability. This parking could
be used to meet the demands of businesses and uses in the West Atlantic and Southwest
Neighborhood areas, as well as providing parking for activities and events at the tennis center.

# 2.5: Old School Square Cultural Center
This project was completed (See Appendix ·C" for description of the project). Please note
that the CRA has committed to provide funding to pay the debt service on the loan for restoration of
the 1926 building. In addition, the CRA will consider on an annual basis~ a commitment of funding in
order to ensure that Old School Square can continue to offer its facilities to community groups and
nonprofit organizations at reduced fees.
# 2.6: "Blocks 28 & 36 Redevelopment"
The CRA has assembled and sold the property to complete this redevelopment project,
known as Atlantic Grove, and the majority of construction has been completed (See Appendix "C"
for description). A modification of the project which invQlves the sale or transfer of properties
between the developers and Mt. Olive Baptist Church is still pending. In addition the CRA has
committed to selling a lot it owns on NW 1 st Street to Mt. Olive Baptist Church in exchange for an
easement for public parking on Mt. Olive's parking lot fronting on NW Sth Avenue.

#2.8: George Bush Boulevard and FederaUDixie Redevelopment
(For associated map, see Appendix "0" Map F)
Backaround
This redevelopment project is located on the north and south side of George Bush Boulevard
between Dixie Highway and Federal Highway, the U.S. 1 one-way pairs. The north side currently
contains a vacant lot that was formerly a gas station and a restaurant building. On the south side of
George Bush Boulevard are a poorly maintained silver plating shop that has raised environmental
concerns, and an automobile dealer's parking lot. The condition of the properties presents a poor
appearance at a major roadway intersection of the City and is a deterrent to the revitalization of
adjacent neighborhoods. In addition to removing the blighting influence, redevelopment of these
sites also presents the opportunity to beautify the intersection and to improve the parking/access for
the adjacent properties. The CRA's involvement should be more of a facilitator to a private
redevelopment initiative.

#2.9: West Settlers Historic District
Backaround
In 1996, the City of Delray Beach created a fifth historic
district called the West Settlers Historic District. The area,
north of West Atlantic Avenue and bounded on the east by NW
3rd Avenue, on the west by NW 5th Avenue, and on the north
by NW 2nd Street (MLK, Jr. Blvd.), is the site of Delray's first
churches, Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, St. Paul's
AME Church (originally Mt. Tabor Church), and the House of
God, and Delrays first pioneer family settlement. Many homes
in the area date from the early 1900's.
A non-profit community organization called "Expanding
and Preserving Our Cultural Heritage" (-EPOCH") was formed
in 1995 by Delray residents to promote preservation and a
cultural museum. EPOCH was instrumental in assisting the
City in the creation of the historic district. EPOCH also
promoted and assisted with the establishment of a multi-cultural
museum on NW 5th Avenue in the heart of the district.
The cultural museum is the former home of Solomon Spady, an early Delray educator. The
Spady house was purchased by the City in 1997, and the CRA purchased a vacant lot adjacent to
the Spady house and subsequently gave it to the City. The CRA and EPOCH applied, in 1997, for a
grant to develop the Spady house into a multi-cultural museum. Both the City and the CRA provided
a "seed" grant to develop a plan for the museum.
In 1997, the State of Florida awarded the CRA, on behalf of EPOCH, an historical
preservation grant to remodel the Spady Museum in the amount of $150,000. In 1999, Palm Beach
County awarded the Spady Museum a grant of $100,000. Together with these grants and grants
from the City and CRA, the Spady Museum's first phase funding amounted to $400,000. The CRA
administered the grants and construction work. In 1999, the CRA moved a historic Arts & Crafts
style Bungalow to the Spady site. The house, called the "Williams House" will provide space for
cultural programs for children and others.
The CRA wishes to encourage the redevelopment within the historic district of both
residential and commercial structures while maintaining the historic character of the neighborhood.
NW 5th Avenue is the historic, commercial corridor in the district.. In addition, the CRA views the
area as a opportunity to substantially upgrade the existing housing fabric and to develop a moderate
income housing program on vacant lots in the district. In addition, the vacant lots could be used as
sites for displaced historic houses resulting from redevelopment throughout the CRA district. In
2003 the CRA established the West Settler's Advisory Board, a community-based board that
advises the CRA on activities and funding priorities for the district. The CRA also created a grant
program to aid in the restoration of the remaining historic properties in the area. In 2004 the CRA
acquired the La France Hotel, an historic structure that in the days of segregation was the only hotel
67
in town where minorities could stay. The CRA intends to restore and reuse the hotel, possibly for
low income senior housing.

#2.10: AffordablelWorkforce Housing Program
Backaround
The Community Redevelopment Agency began to address the issue of affordable housing in
1992, focusing on the development of infill housing on the numerous vacant lots located in the
neighborhoods north and south of West Atlantic Avenue. In 1995 the CRA became a partner in the
Renaissance Program, which provides single family homes for first time buyers. This program has
been extremely successful, thus far resulting in the delivery of more than 160 homes to low and
moderate income families. However, the supply of available vacant lots has begun to dwindle and
land values have escalated significantly as a result of redevelopment activity in the neighborhoods
and surrounding areas, making it increasingly difficult to deliver affordable housing to eligible
families.
When work began on creating a Downtown Master Plan to address redevelopment from 1-95
to the beach, participants in the process cited the rising cost of housing as a major concern.
Redevelopment efforts in the central part of the downtown had already resulted in substantially
higher land values and rents, which had spread beyond the commercial area into the surrounding
neighborhoods. In anticipation of the Downtown Master Plan leading to a similar outcome for the
West Atlantic area, a subcommittee was formed to address the issue of affordable housing. This
group of residents and staff people, who were assisted by the FAU/FIU Joint Center, met on a
regular basis to examine methods used by other cities to create affordable housing. Those
meetings resulted in a publication by FAU/FIU entitled "Development Without Displacement', which
outlined a number of programs and approaches that could be implemented to maintain affordability
throughout the redevelopment process. The subcommittee was particularly impressed by results
that had been achieved in other cities through the creation of Community Land Trusts (CL T). CL Ts
ensure long term affordability by continuing to own the land that the units are built on, thereby taking
escalating land costs out of the equation. Owners are limited in the amount of return they can
receive from their homes upon resale, which also helps to keep costs low.
Another method of increasing the supply of affordable and workforce housing is to provide
incentives to developers to encourage them to build affordable units. This can be achieved through
measures such as density bonuses, whereby permission may be granted to build additional units
provided that some of the units are made available to low/moderate income households. This
approach was supported by the participants working on the development of the Southwest
Neighborhood Plan, to be applied to the RM-zoned area south of Atlantic Avenue to SW 2nd Street.
The CRA has identified several areas of the northwest and southwest Atlantic Avenue
corridor in which future affordable housing opportunities may be found. These opportunities can in
the fomi of newly constructed housing units built on land acquired as part of large scale
redevelopment projects as well as the redevelopment of existing duplexes, multi-family complexes
and existing mixed use structures. The CRA has already acquired several buildings that will be
used or redeveloped as affordable housing, and has partnered with the Delray Beach Housing
Authority for property management services. The CRA has also provided funding to the Housing
Authority to facilitate the development of property south of Carver Estates for affordable housing. As
redevelopment continues on west Atlantic Avenue and into the northwest and southwest
neighborhoods, affordable housing issues will need to be addressed in a variety of ways and
69
through partnerships with other agencies and entities.
PrOGram Obiectives
~ Stabilize and preserve neighborhoods through redevelopment and the elimination of blight
» Provide decent, affordable/workforce housing for residents who are of very low to moderate
income level

either privately through an RFP process or by the CRA in partnership with other housing
providers; acquisitions will focus primarily in the Southwest Neighborhood, where the land
values and zoning offer the most feasibility for maintaining affordability; a particular focus
will be the acquisition of additional properties in the 100 block of SW 14th Avenue in order to
upgrade housing conditions in the area and create an affordable townhouse or single family
development;
~ Provide relocation assistance as necessary for residents displaced through the CRA's
redevelopment projects;

units, particularly where such renovations include the removal of back-out parking, façade
upgrades, and landscape improvements. The CRA may also provide architectural
assistance and infrastructure improvements (i.e. creation of an alley to relocate parking to
the rear) as a part of this program. In exchange for the assistance, owners must agree to
maintain affordability over a specified time period.

#2.11: Carver Square Neighborhood
(For associated map, see Appendix "on Map G)
Backaround
Carver Square is a residential neighborhood within the Southwest Neighborhood that is
bordered by SW 2nd Street to the north, SW 3rd Street to the south, SW 7th Avenue to the east and
SW 8th Avenue to the west, bisected by both SW 2nd Court and SW 2nd Terrace. The subdivision
comprises a total of thirty lots, each approximately 5,300 square feet in size.
Engineering reports conducted in the project area indicate that there may have been a pond
covering a portion of the site in the 1950's, and that the site was utilized as an informal dump in the
1960's. It appears that the area to the north of SW 2nd Court was developed in the 1960's and that
the lots to the south of SW 2nd Court were developed during the mid 1970's. The area's newest
homes were built in the early 1980s. Accurate and specific details as to the exact location of the
dump site and pond have been difficult to obtain with the majority of information being supplied
through aerial photographs, soil analysis and geotechnical research, building records as well as
verbal communication with area residents and city personnel.
As a result of previous land uses, the homes built on these lots began experiencing
settlement issues in the mid to late 1980's. In 1988, the City of Delray Beach contracted Nutting
Engineers of Florida to conduct a detailed site assessment and geotechnical investigation of the
neighborhood area. The engineering report specified the conditions of the soil and the effects of the
instability to the existing structures. The report also provided recommendations as to mitigation
methods to prevent or at least lessen the ongoing effects of the settling soil.
Since 1988, the soil has continued to settle, with the extreme cases resulting in the
condemnation and razing of several homes. The current condition of many of the homes reflects
major soil settlement and structural damage. The neighborhood has seven vacant lots and twenty-
one homes. The majority of the houses experiencing extreme instability and structural damage are
located from the south side of SW 2nd Court to SW 3m Street. The homeowners have exhausted all
legal avenues of liability compensation and structural mitigation. The low to moderate incomes of
these residents adds to the financial burden these soil conditions have caused.
Prolect Oblectives
~ Eliminate the condition of slum and blight in the neighborhood caused by the soil settlement
problems.
71
~ Provide an opportunity for the existing residents/home owners to obtain replacement
housing.
~ Remediate the affected soil area in order to provide land for future housing or green space.
Proiect DescriDtion
~ Project to be located within the affected areas including, but not limited to, the properties
bordered on the north by SW 2nd Street, the south by SW 3rd Street, the east by SW 7th
Avenue and the west by SW 8th Avenue.
Þ> Phase One includes the conducting of soil tests to examine the content and stability of the
soil and to assess if there are any environmental hazards. Based upon the outcome of the
tests, and the estimated cost to address the problem, the CRA board will make a decision
whether or not to proceed with Phase Two.
Þ> Phase Two of the project involves the determination of a strategy for addressing the
problem. Depending upon the strategy selected, this Phase may include but is not limited to:
o acquisition of damaged homes and vacant lots (refer to Appendix for map)
o home owner relocation assistance
o site improvements and remediation of the soil utilizing stabilization materials and
methods specified by geotechnical engineers
o financial assistance in the form of loans or grants for the remediation of privately
owned properties.

c. GROUP "311: COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
# 3.1: CRA Subsidized Loan Program
Backaround
After receiving various proposals from a number of banks relative to providing low
interest loans for private residential and commercial property improvements as part of their
obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act, the CRA Board decided to request specific
proposals and interest rates. The intent was to develop a pool of money from one or more
banks which could be used to provide loans to Community Redevelopment Area residents. As
an incentive and inducement for property owners to improve and upgrade their property, the
CRA decided to assist them by buying down the interest and making no-interest loans available
through the lending institutions.
On August 27, 1990 the CRA board amended its Community Redevelopment Plan
through Resolution No. 90-A to provide for the implementation of the program to subsidize the
interest on loans used to enhance or upgrade the exterior of privately owned properties within
the Community Redevelopment Area. This action was further supported through adoption of
Resolution No. 86-90 by the City Commission. To further reinforce investment within the
Community Redevelopment Area, the program was later expanded to include provisions for non-
residential structures.
Proaram Oblectives
~ To enhance the physical appearance of the CRA District.
~ To eliminate and prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions.
~ Create incentive for spin-off investment within the district

# 3.2: Site Development Assistance Program
:r
Backaround
;i,
In 1991, the City of Delray Beach requested that the CRA provide funds for the removal and
relocation of power poles, which due to the design of the Walgreens redevelopment project would
obstruct on-site traffic flow. Although the City has its own program to accomplish this action, it was
felt that the CRA should pay since the project was located within the Community Redevelopment
Area and the CRA would receive substantial benefits from the project in TIF revenues. The CRA
agreed and subsequently amended its Redevelopment Plan to include a program for the removal of
power poles and other obstructions from travel ways within the Community Redevelopment Area. At
that time, the program funding was limited to $3,500 which was the cost of the Walgreens project.

In order to assist private sector redevelopment efforts, the CRA expanded its program.
Through an annual allocation of funds, the CRA may now provide limited assistance for site
development, exterior building upgrades and building expansions within the CRA district.

"3.3: Community Activities Sponsorship Program
Backaround
Since its creation, in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency has been asked to
participate in and/or provide funding for a number of community events and projects. Since the
programs and projects of the CRA have a direct impact on the residents of the district, the CRA
must consider the problems, needs and desires of the people in its project decision-making process.
Therefore, it is important to maintain an open line of communication between the agency and the
residents. Expenditures for community projects and events which further the goals of the CRA are
necessary from time to time in order to maintain and promote the CRA1s role in community
redevelopment.

# 3.4: Downtown Transit System
Backaround
"
In 1985, the Atlantic Avenue Task Force presented a report to the City Commission which
outlined a list of proposed physical improvements along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor. One of the
improvements discussed was the use of a tram system to connect the downtown area to A 1 A. The
notion of a downtown shuttle was furthered in the City's Comprehensive Plan, which states that the
City will develop a program for an in-town shuttle system which links the rail stations, the central
business district, the beach, waterway access points, parking areas, community facilities and
addresses needs of the elderly. In 1992 the CRA commissioned FAU/FIU Joint Center for
Environmental and Urban Problems to give its recommendations on the development and operation
of a trolley system in Delray. The report, entitled, "A Downtown Trolley: An Alternative
Transportation Mode in the City of Delray Beachu, recommended a free, three-trolley system,
however funding was not available at the time to implement it. In 1995 the City worked with the
Florida Department of Transportation to create a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area
("TCEA") for the downtown. The TCEA designation was necessary in order to stimulate
redevelopment of the downtown without triggering a requirement for road improvements that would
be impossible to implement due to right-of-way constraints. In order to provide alternative measures
to mitigate traffic impacts, the City committed as part of the TCEA to a plan for inner-city transit.
By providing a direct link to the rail station and the beach, a shuttle system will increase the
accessibility of the downtown to the residential neighborhoods east of 1-95 and others who may wish
to utilize the Tri-Rail system for a day at the beach, to visit Old School Square or to shop in

downtown Delray. This type of local transportation system can decrease automobile trips
throughout the area by enabling people to park in centralized parking facilities downtown and travel
to other sections without having to use a car.
In 2004, the City was successful in obtaining a commitment of grant funds from the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) for a shuttle system that will run from the Tri-Rail station to the beach
at various intervals, both during the week and on weekends. The CRA has committed matching
funds for this project.
PrOGram Oblectives
~ Develop an alternative means of transportation between the Tri-rail station and the beach
along Atlantic Avenue.
~ Increase market appeal of the downtown, both to visitors and to new businesses.
~ Limit automobile traffic trips within the downtown.
~ Provide additional transportation system for low and moderate income riders in order to
facilitate employment opportunities.

# 3.5: Business Development Program
Backaround
Increasing economic activity within the Community Redevelopment Area is a major objective
of the overall Community Redevelopment Program. Investments by the CRA which result in
increased business opportunities have positive impacts on employment, the tax base, and the
physical environment, all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted
77
conditions. Many other CRA programs are aimed at increasing economic activity within the CRA
district. The purpose of this IIBusiness Development Program" is to provide a means to focus the
effort. The primary goal of the program is to facilitate small business development within the
Community Redevelopment Area, particularly in the West Atlantic Redevelopment Area.
The program will encourage and assist businesses by providing assistance during the crucial
first year of operation or expansion. The program will provide additional benefits to the local
economy by helping to eliminate some of the vacant commercial space within the area. This not
only improves the overall appearance of the area, but also contributes toward the development of a
critical mass of activity, whereby individual businesses draw additional customers for each other.

#3.6: lHãstoric Facade Easement Program
Backaround
The preservation of historic structures in the Community Redevelopment Area is a major
objective of the overall redevelopment program. Historic preservation is important both
economically and culturally and is an important tool for eliminating slum and blighted conditions.
Historic downtowns are generally more successful if their buildings are preserved, rather than
demolished. A well preserved historic downtown can be marketed as a unique place for people to
work, shop, eat and congregate. This enhances the social and economic vitality of the area and
increases the property tax base.
Many CRA programs and projects can utilize historic preservation as a redevelopment tool.
The CRA, through this "Historic Facade Easement Program", may purchase the facade of a historic
structure for a portion of the cost of exterior improvements. Not only does this benefit the property
owner by allowing it to initiate the improvements at a fraction of the total cost, it also benefits the
public by improving the appearance of the building in particular, the area in general and in
preserving a historic structure as a linkage to the past. The building owner is required to designate
the building as a historic site with the City of Delray Beach and the CRA retains ownership and
architectural control of the historic facade in perpetuity.
One example of a historic easement that the CRA purchased was the Flamingo Gas Station,
located at 301 East Atlantic Avenue. This $25,000 facade easement was one component in the
successful renovation and adaptive re-use of the historic structure from a defunct gas station to a
restaurant. Another example is the former Masonic Lodge building, located at the intersection of
East Atlantic Avenue and SE 1 st Avenue. The $45,000 preservation facade grant represented 500/0
of the cost of rebuilding the facade. The project was completed in 1998. In 2003 the CRA provided
a $50,000 grant in exchange for a façade easement, to enable a relocated historic bungalow to be
renovated as offices for the Delray Beach Historical Society (see photo).
Program Oblectives
~ Provide economic stimulation to the area through renovation.
~ Promote historic preservation.
~ Encourage adaptive re-use of historic buildings.
~ Prevent the sprea~ of slum and blighted conditions.
~ Increase employment and business opportunities.
~ Decrease unoccupied or underutilized commercial space
within the area.
~ Stabilize and Increase the property tax base.
Proaram Descriotlon

#3.8: Delray Beach Renaissance (First Time Homebuyers) Program
Backaround
The Community Redevelopment Agency implemented its Affordable Housing Program in
March, 1992 for the purpose of providing new affordable housing units within an area of the CRA
which contains a considerable number of vacant building lots. This program is also important, in
that, it will enable the CRA to address the issues of relocation and housing replacement for CRA
residents who may be displaced as a result of future redevelopment activity. An informal partnership
was created between the County, the City, the CRA, and the Community Financing Consortium
("Consortium"), a multi-bank, non-profit financial intermediary whose purpose is to make first
mortgage construction and permanent loans to builders and home buyers. The CRA's major role
was to acquire vacant lots and provide soft, second mortgage financing to home buyers. In addition,
the CRA, on a limited basis, agreed to provide loan guarantees to builders for model homes.
In 1995, the CRA entered into a formal partnership undår the "Renaissance Program" with
the City, Community Financing Consortium, Delray Beach Housing Authority, and two non-profit
housing sponsors, the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation and the Center for
Technology, Enterprise, and Development, Inc. The partners applied for and received a grant from
the Federal Home Loan Bank Association and the State HOME Program in 1995. In addition, the
City provides monies from its SHIP and HOME Programs. These monies are used, along with the
CRA monies, for soft, second mortgages for home buyers. The CRA's major role continues to be
the partner providing vacant lots for the program. The geographic area in which the program
concentrates is that which is defined by the City and approved by HUD as the target area for
development of low and moderate income housing. The emphasis of the program, although not
limited, is to encourage single-family, fee simple home ownership. The household income target for
the program is as low as under 50% of median income and as high as 120% of median income.
In 1997, the CRA began using its second mortgage funds to assist homeowners living within
the West Atlantic commercial corridor to move into new, affordable housing.
81
PrOGram Oblectives
~ Provide decent, affordable housing for residents who are of low to moderate income level.
~ Stabilize and preserve neighborhoods through redevelopment and the elimination of blight.

I. SOURCES OF REDEVELOPMENT FUNDING AND FINANCING
The following section provides a general review of potential sources of funding for
redevelopment programs, and a description of the funding sources applicable to each of the
improvements or projects identified in the plan. In general, a variety of financing options are
presently available to the Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach. Among
these are the following:
A. Tax Increment Revenues
Tax Increment Revenue is typically the major source of funding for redevelopment projects
under the State of Florida Community Redevelopment Act. This increment, which is determined
annually, is equal to 95% of the difference between: the amount of ad valorem taxes levied each
year by each applicable taxing authority on taxable real property within the Community
Redevelopment Area; and, the amount of ad valorem taxes that would have been produced by the
current millage rates prior to establishment of the Redevelopment Trust Fund. Both of these
amounts are exclusive of debt service millage of the taxing authorities.
~-
:r
<-"
The ability of the Community Redevelopment Agency to utilize this funding method requires
two key actions:
~ The establishment of a redevelopment trust fund as required by FS 163.387 as the
repository for increment tax funds, and;
~ The provision, by ordinance of the City, for the funding of the redevelopment trust fund for
the duration of the Community Redevelopment Plan.
B. RedeveloDment Revenue Bonds
The provisions of F.S.163.385 allow the City of Delray Beach or Community Redevelopment
Agency to issue "Revenue Bonds" to finance redevelopment actions, with the security for such
bonds being based on the "anticipated assessed valuation of the completed community
redevelopment. II In this way, the additional annual taxes generated within the Community
Redevelopment Area, the "tax incrementll, is used to finance the long term bond debt. Prior to the
issuance of long term revenue bonds, the City or Community Redevelopment Agency may issue
bond anticipation notes to provide up-front funding for redevelopment actions until sufficient tax
increment funds are available to amortize a bond issue.
'"
~,
c. General Obliaation Bonds
For the purposes of financing redevelopment actions, The City of Delray may also issue
General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are secured by debt service millage on the real property
withip the City and must receive voter approval. The existing IIDecade of Excellence programll,
which includes may redevelopment initiatives, is funded, in part, by a 21.5 million dollar 1990
General Obligation Bonds, Series 1990 and 1993.
D. SDecial Assessment Districts
The City of Delray Beach could also establish special assessment districts for the purpose of
funding various neighborhood improvements within an area or for the construction of a particular
project. This funding mechanism was utilized in 1994 whereby a Special Assessment District was
~-
87
set up so that each of the property owner's in the Banker's Row project could be assessed annually
over a 10-year period for their share of the cost in the project. This mechanism was also used in
Pineapple Grove in 2004, whereby property owners could pay a one time assessment or split the
assessment up into payments over 20 years at an interest rate of 8%.
E. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
Each year the City of Delray Beach receives CDBG grant funds directly from the Federal
Government to improve the area designated as the "Community Development Target Area". These
CDBG monies are committed to demolition of substandard housing units, housing rehab assistance,
and home ownership assistance within the target area which includes much of the Community
Redevelopment Area. All of the total funds expended have been for the benefit of very low, low, and
moderate income residents and assistance grants to community-based social service organizations.
F Industrial Revenue Bonds lIRB)
Industrial revenue bonds may be used to finance industrial, and some commercial projects.
The primary emphasis on such projects is the creation of jobs, and as a consequence speculative
ventures are not normally financed by this means. Such bonds are typically issued by the County,
with repayment pledged against the revenues of the private enterprise being funded. I RB's are tax
exempt and consequently are typically 3 percentage points below prevailing interest rates. Such
financing has been used effectively in South Florida.
G. Land Sales/Leases
Acquisition of property and its preparation for development are powers available to the
Community Development Agency under provisions of F .S. 163. The resale or leasing of such land
to private developers can provide another source of income within the Community Redevelopment
Area.
H. Contributions and Grants
Voluntary contributions by private companies, foundations and individuals is a potential
source of income to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Although such contributions may only
account for a small portion of redevelopment costs, they do provide opportunities for community
participation with positive promotional benefits.
I. Direct Borrowina From Commercial Lenders
The CRA is also authorized to fund redevelopment projects and programs through direct
borrowing of funds. Depending on the particular project(s) funding requirements, the CRA may
utilize both short and long term borrowing. Although terms and conditions may have a direct bearing
on use of a particular commercial lending institution, the CRA will generally attempt to attain the
lowest available interest rate.

II. FIVE YEAR PROJECTION OF REVENUE & EXPENSES
The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This fund is
the depository for all TIF revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on
estimates of the current property valuations the rate of private new construction, it is estimated that
the total tax increment revenue generated by the redevelopment area will be approximately $47.6
million over the next five year period. This estimate is believed to be conservative since it does not
include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects described in this plan. These projects
will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and entered on the tax rolls.
Since its creation in 1985, the CRA has continued to expand its redevelopment efforts into
the surrounding community. In 2004 the CRA issued $10 million in tax-exempt bonds to accelerate
several beautification and infrastructure projects in order to insure that such vital roadways as West
Atlantic Avenue, North Federal Highway and NE and SE 1st Streets were improved and able to
better serve the needs of the downtown and West Atlantic corridor.

III. FIVE-YEAR REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND FUNDING ALLOCATIONS
This section of the Community Redevelopment Plan provides a five-year funding program for the
Planning, Redevelopment and Community Improvements programs and projects that are identified
within the Plan. This five-year program is intended to serve as a guide for project implementation
and to assist in cash flow management. It is not intended to replace the annual budget adopted by
the CRA.
Table 4-3 lists estimated project-specific net funding allocations for each CRA project. This table is
for planning purposes only and is not a guarantee of expenditure of funds on a given project. Actual
project allocations will be determined annually through the budget process. As priorities change,
projects are deleted or new projects or programs created, this table will be amended. It is intended
that the table be amended at least once annually, after the adoption of the budget.

# 1.1: Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception
Backaround
In November, 1990, the City of Delray Beach Planning Director made a presentation to the
CRA on the 1990 Countywide Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance and its effect on the City.
Under the ordinance, the City may not issue development orders for a proposed project if it adds
traffic to county or state roadways, within its radius of influence, which causes total traffic to exceed
the adopted Levels of Service (LOS). The ordinance does; however, include provisions for
"Geographic Areas of Exception (GAE)", which allow the County to set new lower levels of service
for roadways which will be impacted by development within the GAE. This means that development
within the GAE is then allowed to increase traffic on area roadways beyond previously permitted
levels.
-,
~
The City of Delray Beach proposes to establish a Downtown Core GAE in order to foster the
continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area. In essence, the revitalization of
the downtown is dependant upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to
shop. The establishment of the GAE will further the City's goals by allowing the increases in traffic
which will undoubtedly occur as a result. Without the GAE, only minimal development within the
downtown would be permitted. Due to its tremendous impact on overall redevelopment efforts, the
CRA agreed to fund the preparation of the GAE application as well as application fees.
;r
~-1.
The territory within the GAE includes the CBD zone district, west of the Intracoastal
waterway, as well as the Old School Square Historic Arts District, immediately to the west of the
CBD. On March 27, 1991, the CRA hosted a workshop at the Old School Square Gym for the
purpose of reaching a consensus as to the CBD development scenario to be used in the GAE
application. During the course of the day, the group was presented with three development
scenarios. The three scenarios, listed in order of increasing overall intensity were referred to as 1)
Laissez Faire, 2) Urban Village and 3) Urban Center. Based on a series of presentations,
evaluations and discussions, the group arrived at a consensus that the Urban Center Scenario was
realistic and generally desirable but should be modified in order to protect the "Village by the Sea"
character deemed essential to Delray Beach's preferred identity and quality of life. The final
proposed development scenario is a composite entitled "Village Center".

Transportation. It provides relief from traffic concurrency requirements for the downtown area. The
TCEA was adopted in 1995.
# 2.1: Bankers Row Project Implementation
Backaround
Banker's Row, the 200 block of NE 1st Avenue is a downtown residential block which
includes single family, rear guest cottages, and some home-occupation uses. The block is located
within the Old School Square Historic Arts District which includes most of the City's oldest homes.
Banker's Row includes 16 of these historic (built before 1940) residences.
This project was born when, under the auspices of the Historic Preservation Board and the
City's Planning Department, application was made to the Florida Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources for a Preservation Grant. A $24,000 planning grant was awarded by the State
with provisions for the City to allocate a matching share toward planning of the project. The Project
Plan has three separate but related components. These are: a study and evaluation of the historic
significance of the Banker's Row block and an analysis of the architecture of its structures; the
preparation of a streetscape design plan, architectural design guidelines, and lot development
guidelines; and the creation of a planning program for the private property owners of Bankers Row.
The Planning was culminated by the preparation of a document entitled "BANKERS ROW - A
PROGRAM FOR RE-USE & RESTORATION".
Following publication of the Plan, the property owners formed a Homeowners' Association
and sought funding for the project, including street improvements and a parking lot from the City.
The City was unable to fund the project and subsequently the property owners requested the same
from the CRA. In 1992, the CRA, City and Homeowners' Association adopted an Interlocal Tri-
partite Agreement in which the Property Owners would fund $32,500 for the project, payable over 10
years; the City would fund a new water main; and, the CRA would fund the construction of the
parking lot and the balance of the street improvements.
102
~
The CRA completed the Banker1s Row parking lot in March, 1993 and the design for the
street improvements was completed in October. It is anticipated that the remaining improvements
will be completed in FY 1993/1994. The Property Owners will pay 25% of the cost of the roadway
improvements, up to a maximum of $32,500 through a property assessment district.

#2.2 Pineapple Grove Main Street Program
Backaround
This program represents the implementation of several strategies contained within the
Pineapple Grove Neighborhood Plan. It is also an expansion of previous City and CRA efforts to
improve the environment along the major retail corridor of the Neighborhood. In August, 1989, the
City Commission approved a streetscape program for Pineapple Grove Way. Improvements
included the creation of landscape intersection nodes, street trees within the sidewalks, and four
pods to accommodate previously commissioned sculptures.
In 1990, as an outgrowth of the City's program, the CRA funded the preparation of a
prototype design for the 100 block of Pineapple Grove Way, including additional streetscape and
facade improvements. When the block design was completed, preliminary estimates indicated that
the overall construction cost of the proposed improvements would be very expensive. Although the
neighborhood was generally enthusiastic and supportive of the plan, the downturn in the economic
climate of the early 90's made it impossible for the CRA to secure the required financial
commitments from the businesses within the 100 block to participate in the program. Subsequently,
the CRA was forced to put the project on hold.
In 1992, the City completed the streetscape improvements to Pineapple Grove Way. These
improvements provide the starting point for revitalization of the corridor. Another major improvement
to the area was made in 1993 when the parking lot for the Publix Shopping Center was
reconstructed. The new design improved the internal traffic circulation system and added a
significant amount of new landscaping.
In 1994, the Pineapple Grove Main Street Program was born. Under a tremendous
outpouring of community support and dedication to the program, the City was awarded the Main
Street Designation by the State of Florida. Under this program, the effort to revitalize Pineapple
Grove Way and the surrounding area has gained new momentum. Accordingly, the CRA's
approach to redevelopment will be one of support and assistance to the local Main Street
Organization.
The Main Street Program, organized in 1994, has been operating under a 501 (c)(3), non-
profit corporation. The group has accomplished several important plans and programs which
include the establishment of committees to deal with organization, design, economic restructuring,
and marketing. In 1996, the organization held a weekend charette and developed the first draft of a
street master plan for NE 2nd Avenue. The organization completed a master plan for its district in
1998 which was approved by the CRA and the City. The plan calls for significant beautification,
construction of parking lots, and infill, mixed-use development. Other accomplishments include
additional art in public places, new street signs, special events, and more.
104
-F'<
""-
In 1996, the City of Delray Beach established its second police substation, locating the
station adjacent to the Pineapple Grove Main Street office on NE 2nd Avenue.
Together with the CRA and others, the organization proceeded with the first phase of its
master plan to construct the entry to the district at NE 2nd Avenue and East Atlantic Avenue. In
2000, Pineapple Grove Main Street held the ribbon cutting for its first entry arch located near the
intersection of NE 2nd Avenue and East Atlantic Avenue. In 1999, the City and CRA approved
creating an assessment district on NE 2nd Avenue to assist in funding the complete beautification of
NE 2nd Avenue. The City and CRA will fund approximately 2/3 of the cost and the assessment
district 1/3 of the cost.
Future implementation of the Pineapple Grove Main Street plan will include working with the
City and CRA to construct additional public parking.

# 2.3: Municipal Tennis Center Rehabilitation
Backaround
The CRA prepared a study in mid 1992 to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the
existing Center with possible inclusion of a stadium court to host the Virginia Slims Tennis
Tournament. As a part of the Study, the CRA also held a 1-day Workshop to build a consensus
within the community on if and how the tennis center property should be redeveloped. This
workshop was a great success with over 60 people attending. The consensus ot the group was that
the Tennis Center be retained at its present location and be rehabilitated and expanded to include a
stadium court and other facilities.
The results of CRA's study and workshop were presented to the City Commission and the
City made the decision to rehabilitate the Center. Recognizing that this project clearly achieves
several major CRA goals including the elimination of blìghted conditions, and the creation of
significant spin-off economic benefits in the CRA area, the City requested that the CRA participate in
the project's capital funding. The CRA obliged with a $481,000 commitment which may be paid over
a 15-year period.
In 1992, the City commenced construction of the first phase of the Tennis Center including
the 3,000 seat stadium court. The upgraded Center includes adjacent residential property to the
west and the old fire station # 1 site. This increased land area gives the property a corner location
106
on N.W. 1st Avenue and West Atlantic, and provided the necessary space to add a new proshop,
additional courts and the stadium court. Additionally, the new design greatly improves the overall
visual appearance of the center with better linkages to Atlantic Avenue and increased landscaping.
In March of 1993, the Virginia Slims of Florida held their national women's tournament. With
over 80,000 people attending the event over the two-week period of the tournament, this event set a
record in women's tennis.

# 2.4: Old School Square Cultural Center
Backaround
Beginning in late 1985, a group of concerned citizens established a task force to save the old
schools, which the Palm Beach County School Board had planned to abandon. The 4 acre site of
the Delray Beach Elementary School, containing two school buildings, a 350 seat auditorium and a
gymnasium seemed to have potential, not only as an important historic preservation project, but also
as an arts center benefitting Delray Beach and the surrounding communities. The Historical Society
established a committee to establish the possibility of restoring all or a portion of the school complex
and to locate a historical museum within the school.
107
""--
~-
The committee, now Old School Square, Inc. reported its findings to the City Commission in
1987 and recommended the restoration of the facility and development of an art and cultural center.
A professional feasibility study was prepared and determined the project to be feasible. Hence,
engineering surveys of the existing buildings and building plans were prepared and the restoration
project began in 1988.
The on-going restoration and development of the 6.6 million dollar center has become a
source of pride to Delray Beach residents. Serving as the centerpiece of the Atlantic Avenue
Business Corridor from Interstate 95 to A-1-A, the center which opened in 1990, now includes a
museum, gift shop, community meeting room and a visual arts center/gallery.
In order to complete the first phase of the 1926 building, which fronts on Swinton Avenue,
Old School Square requested a $435,000 loan from the City in 1992 to supplement a donation by a
foundation. The City agreed with the understanding that the CRA would guarantee the loan. In
addition to this loan guarantee, the CRA also agreed to make the debt service payments if
requested by Old School Square. In the fall of 1992, the first phase of renovations were completed
on the 1926 building, which now hosts theater productions, concerts, ballets and classes.
The loggia and bandstand of Old School Square, the last phase of the project, is planned for
outdoor exhibits, concerts, festivals, large parties, and "Sunday in the Park" type entertainment for
the enjoyment of the entire community.

# 2.5: Blocks 28 & 36 Redevelopment
Background
'!
:;
The program for Blocks 28 and 36 involves the redevelopment of the frontage along West
Atlantic Avenue for commercial purposes, and the development of the rear of Block 36 as residential
multi-family. The CRA acquired the majority of the subject properties over the period between 1998
and 2000.
~
~
In July of 2000, four groups submitted development proposals for the CRA-owned
properties, in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP). All of the responses proposed mixed use
(commercial & residential) development on the site. Three of the projects proposed a combination
of retail, office, and owner-occupied residential units. The fourth proposal, which included Mt. Olive
Baptist Church as a partner, contained commercial_uses combined with a rental housing
component. After several public hearings and workshop meetings, the CRA selected a project that
includes three-story commercial buildings on the frontage of Blocks 28 & 36, and owner-occupied
townhomes on the balance of Block 36. The proposal was submitted by Atlantic Grove Partners,
which is comprised of a local private development company (New Urban Communities) and two
local nonprofit agencies (the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation and the TED
Center). Parking for the project is a combination of surface lots, two-car garages for the
townhomes, and on-street parking along Atlantic Avenue, NW 3rd, 4th, and 5th Avenues, and NW 1 st
Street. The on-street parking spaces will be available to the general public.

# 2.6: Block 60 Redevelopment
Backaround
This Block lies in a strategic location between two major redevelopment projects on
Atlantic Avenue, the Municipal Tennis Center/City Hall and Old School Square. With the large
sums of money involved in these two projects, it is imperative that development in this block
does not detract from the overall redevelopment effort. The overall appearance of the block has
been a blight to the area. Existing land uses consisted of poor quality residential duplex units,
vacant commercial structures, vacant property, and several single family residences, some of
which are currently in a state of severe blight.
110
Given the prime location and condition of existing property, this block is ripe for
redevelopment. In fact, one of the single family residences, "Tarrimore", was acquired for
conversion to a high-quality restaurant,-IDamiano1s". In 1992, the owner of the Tarrimore
property approached the CRA and suggested a redevelopment concept for the northern part of
block 60. This concept included the construction of a parking lot and the conversion of one
blighted single family home to commercial use. It was also anticipated that the parking lot
would service the three remaining single family homes on the block if they should convert to non-
residential uses.
In 1993, the CRA further developed the concept for the Block. The State of Florida
awarded the City a $242,800 "Historic Preservation Grant" to rehabilitate two historic structures
which were originally located in the Hillcrest Neighborhood of West Palm Beach. These two
historic structures were moved to their permanent site fronting Swinton Avenue in June 1994.
One of the structures is currently utilized for the CRA's Offices and the other was sold to the
City of Delray Beach who leased it to the State Preservation Office. Having additional
governmental uses in close proximity to the City Hall complex is consistent with the Citys plan of
a governmental campus.
or
:.r
1
:i
The original concept fits very well into an overall redevelopment scheme for the block.
This scheme contains a commercial or governmental use(s) fronting on Swinton Avenue, a
common parking lot in the center of the block, and non-residential conversions of single family
houses surrounding the parking lot. Another advantage of this concept is that the parking lot
would also be used to meet the demands for Old School Square, the Community Center and the
Tennis Center.
In 1996, the CRA completed an additional parking lot, adjoining the first lot, completed in
conjunction with the restoration of the two historic houses. In addition, the CRA sold a parcel of
land, through the Request for Proposal process, to a developer who, in turn, constructed a two-
story, 6,000 square foot office building. The developer also purchased five parking spaces from
the CRA.
In 1999, a property owner on the block, Manimal land Company, Inc., purchased eight
parking spaces from the CRA in anticipation of redeveloping its two lots into a 12,000 square foot,
two-story office building. Another property owner on the block, including Manimal and the restaurant
owner, expressed interest in 2000 in acquiring additional parking spaces in order to expand their
facilities.
E
~
The CRA, in anticipation of the need by property owners for parking, condominiumized
the parking lot. In addition, the City purchased, in 1996, 12 spaces for public use, particularly for
the Tennis Center and Community Center, located on NW 1st Avenue. The CRA expects
further development of the block by conversion of existing residential to commercial uses.

# 2.7 SeacrestJDellda Park Neighborhood Improvement
Backaround
This Historic District, commonly known as "Dellda Park", is bounded by N.E. 4th Street, N.E.
8th Street, Swinton Avenue and the F.E.C. Railroad. Zoning in the area includes "R-1-AA Single-
Family Residential" , "RL Low Density Residential" and "RO Residential/Office". Land uses are
varied, containing a mixture of single-family and multi-family residences and professional/medical
offices. The Del Ida Park area contains many historic structures and has a unique quality that is
attractive to small scale office users and home occupations. With beautification and elimination of
some of the blighted conditions, expansion of these types of uses in the area is likely. The medical
professionals in the area are particularly interested in participating in the improvement of the
neighborhood.

The Seacrest neighborhood is bounded by the FEC Railroad on the east, North Swinton
Avenue on the west, 8th Street on the south, and Gulfstream Boulevard and Atlantic High School
southern boundary on the north. The area is quite deteriorated on NE 3rd Avenue north of 14th
Street and contains an infiltration of duplexes and multi-family housing in an area once almost
entirely single family. A significant number of homes are historic. The area north of NE 8th Street
between North Swinton and NE 2nd Avenue is outside of the CRA district but is contained in the
study area as a result of its geographic connectivity.
In 1998, the City and CRA, together with the two homeowner associations, Seacrest and Del
Ida, completed a neighborhood plan. The plan calls for beautification of streets, the beautification of
the NE 3rd Avenue railroad corridor, the construction of municipal parking lots to relieve the short
supply of parking in multi-family residences, and the conversion of duplexes to single-family
residences. The City, CRA, and homeowners are funding the projects.
PrOGram Obiectives
~ Implement the Seacrest/Dellda Neighborhood Plan
~ Elimination of slum and blighted conditions, particularly on N.E. 3rd Avenue and N.E. 4th
Street, and to prevent these conditions from spreading to other parts of the neighborhood
~ Reduce overall densities in the neighborhood
~ Encourage development and redevelopment on RO zoned property, particularly for medical
offices
~ Promote historic preservation
~ Promote residential rehabilitation
~ Increase employment and business opportunities in the area
~ Improve the street appearance by beautification

TO:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
This Ordinance is before Commission for second reading and public hearing for adoption of the
Community Redevelopment Agency Plan Amendment.
The Community Redevelopment Plan establishes the projects and programs to be undertaken by the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in the coming years. Since the last amendment in May, 2001,
there have been many changes to the programs and projects that the CRA is implementing. In addition,
much of the demographic data in the Plan was based on the 1990 census (the 2000 census information
was not available). A list of the major changes can be found in the attached Planning & Zoning Board
Staff Report and a full copy of the amended Plan is attached.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing regarding the proposed Plan amendment at its
meeting of December 20, 2004. Diane Colonna, CRA, Executive Director, gave a presentation to the
Board on the major changes of the Plan. There was no public testimony. The Board voted 5-0 to
recommend to the City Commission approval of the proposed amendment, by adopting the findings of
fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
At the f1!st reading on January 4, 2005, the Commission passed Ordinance No. 1-05.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 1-05 on second and final reading.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARY 4, 2005
ADOPTION OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT
BACKGROUND
The Community Redevelopment Plan establishes the projects and programs to be
undertaken by the CRA in the coming years. The Delray Beach CRA's first plan was adopted
in 1986 and has been amended several times since. The latest amendment was adopted in
May of 2001. Since that time there have been many changes to the programs and projects
that the CRA is implementing. In addition, much of the demographic data in the plan was
based upon the 1990 census, due to the fact that the 2000 census information was not
available at the time of the last amendment. A list of the major changes can be found in the
attached Planning & Zoning Board Staff and a full copy of the amended Plan is attached.
The Plan is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. While many of the projects included in
the Community Redevelopment Plan involve staff or financial participation by the City,
including the Osceola Park Redevelopment and Neighborhood Improvement Program,
applicable Policies are included within the Comprehensive Plan for City participation in these
programs. Therefore, a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency with the
Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the proposed Plan amendment at
its meeting of December 20, 2004. Diane Colonna, CRA Executive Director, gave a
presentation to the Board on the major changes of the Plan. No residents spoke on the item.
The Board recommended adoption of the amended Plan by a vote of 5 to 0 (Diane Borchardt
and Mark Krall absent).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion, approve the ordinance on first reading and set a public hearing date of January
18, 2005 for adoption of the amended Community Redevelopment Plan 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 Comprehensive Plan.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: DECEMBER 20, 2004
AGENDA ITEM: IV.A. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CRA'S
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding proposed amendments to the Community Redevelopment Agency's (CRA)
Community Redevelopment Plan.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 163.360, CRAs are required to operate in
accordance with an overall redevelopment plan. The Community Redevelopment Plan
establishes the projects and programs to be undertaken by the CRA in the coming
years. The Delray Beach CRA's first plan was adopted in 1986 and has been amended
several times since. The latest amendment was adopted in May of 2001. Since that
time there have been many changes to the programs and projects that the CRA is
implementing. In addition, much of the demographic data in the plan was based upon
the 1990 census, due to the fact that the 2000 census information was not available at
the time of the last amendment.
ANAL YSIS
As indicated by the CRA Director Diane Colonna, the amendments are intended to
update the background and status of the agency's programs; and update property
acquisition maps.
The amended plan proposes the following changes. For specific information and details
of the proposed changes, please refer to the attached plan.
· Update of housing, population, and land use information in the Existing
Conditions section;
· Modification of the boundaries of Geographic Subareas 1, 2, and 3 to be
consistent with the Downtown Master Plan subareas (and corresponding
changes to the data for those areas);
· Modification of Part III, Analysis, to reflect changes that have occurred in the
various subareas, and include marketing information from the Downtown Master
Plan;
Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report
Amendments to the Community Redevelopment Plan
Page 2
·
Changes to Part IV, The Redevelopment Program, to:
o Delete programs in which the CRA's role has been substantially
completed, Old School Square (original restoration of buildings),
Blocks 28 & 36 (Atlantic Grove), Block 60 (relocation of historic homes
and construction of parking lot);
Add new programs (SW Neighborhood Plan, AffordablelWorkforce
Housing, and Carver Square); and
Update information on the remaining programs.
o
o
·
Changes to Part V to update all projections of revenues and expenses for the
next 5-year period;
·
Deletion of sections of the plan that are not required by statute or are otherwise
outdated, such as the Goals, Objectives and Policies section, and copies of
various Interlocal agreements that were previously included in the Appendices;
and
·
Update of all maps, including Potential Land Acquisition maps, to reflect current
conditions and needs.
CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
While many of the projects included in the Community Redevelopment Plan involve
staff or financial participation by the City, including the Osceola Park Redevelopment
and Neighborhood Improvement Program, applicable Policies are included within the
Comprehensive Plan for City participation in these programs.
As amended, the CRA Plan is also consistent with the current Future Land Use Map.
The reduction of density in the northern portion of the Osceola Park Neighborhood,
recommended within the CRA's Osceola Park Redevelopment and Neighborhood
Improvement Program, was identified in the Comprehensive Plan as an issue to be
considered with preparation of the Redevelopment Plan for that area. The Osceola
Park Redevelopment Plan, adopted on December 6, 2004, did recommend a FLUM
amendment and rezoning for this area. This change will be processed as a part of
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2005-1.
The CRA Plan calls for the rezoning of various parcels from RM (Multiple Family
Residential) and R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) in the
West Atlantic Corridor and along NW/SW 5th Avenue in order to provide for parking
areas. These changes are to be processed on an as needed basis. Although not
required, the City may also wish to process small scale FLUM amendments for these
parcels. The CRA Plan also calls for LDR and Zoning District Map amendments, as
appropriate, to accommodate adaptive reuse of the La France Hotel for affordable
housing, office or community use. A FLUM amendment will be processed, if required,
after a decision is made on the final use of the property. In both of these cases
redevelopment of the subject properties will not occur until the appropriate FLUM
amendments (if required) are processed and adopted.

Therefore, a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency with the Goals,
Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Continue with direction.
2. Move to recommend to the City Commission approval of the proposed
amendments to the Community Redevelopment Plan 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 Comprehensive Plan.
3. Move to recommend to the City Commission denial of the proposed
amendments to the Community Redevelopment Plan by adopting the findings of
fact and law contained in the staff report and finding that the request and
approval thereof is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for adoption of the
proposed amendments to the Community Redevelopment Plan 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 Comprehensive Plan.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN
The City of Delray Beach is a coastal community located in southern Palm Beach County. It is
bounded by the municipalities of Boynton Beach and Gulfstream to the north, by the municipalities of
Boca Raton and Highland Beach to the south and by unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west. By
the early 1980's, the City was approximately 850/0 built-out in terms of population.
Given its limited potential for future population growth, the City began to focus its attention on the
revitalization and rehabilitation of areas which are in a state of decline or deterioration. These areas have
been incorporated within the defined geographic boundaries of the II City of Delray Bêš'J;h Community
Redevelopment Area". This area, which encompasses the older central cor~>~f the Qjty, is depicted
graphically in Map H (See Appendix "D ") and by a description of its boundaries fft~~p_f!ºi~ IIAII. Since it
contains a significant amount of vacant, under-developed or deteriorating residentiarãt{~~,ommercial
property, it is within this area that there can be a continuing increaS~;?ln population grÖ~b{'and an
establishment of commercial ventures. _ < _,:f;:{~$}:"_ '. _;.:

Community Redevelopmef\r';A~~519Y to (~, 'tf and implement all redevelopment projects within the

[l
Upon a "Finding of Necessity" by the governing body and upon further finding that there is a
need for a Community Redevelopment Agency to function in the county or municipality to carry out
community redevelopment purposes, any county or municipality may create a public body corporate
and politic to be known as a IICommunity Redevelopment Agency. II The Agency shall be constituted
as a public instrumentality, and the exercise by the Agency of the powers conferred by F.S. Chapter
163, Part III shall be deemed and held to be the performance of an essential publ!y function.
,f.o,
K"<"~
The City of Delray Beach City Commission established the Delray, Bea~,h Community
Redevelopment Agency on June 18, 19~5, with the a~option of Or?inance 4§.~1~e. ~rganizational
structure of the agency was also established at that time. It consists of a böãærm¡<; '" n members
appointed by the City Commission. The term of office of the board" members is t '"'~e~us. A
vacancy occurring during a term is filled for the unexpired term. Tt.1f{~!O. visions of OrdíJâÝ1ce No.
46-85 have been codified in Article 8.1 of the City's Land Develq,pme'f:iti€!egulatioçs. .

PART TWO: EXISTING CONDITIONS
I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
A. Existina Land Use
Existing land uses in the Community Redevelopment Area follow patterns of historical
development activity, and the requirements of existing and past zoning distriç~s. There are
approximately 1 ,968 acres of land within the Community Redevelopment Area~~_ A generalized
pattern of existing land use is depicted in Map H (see Appendix "0"). '"t,
o ,1;'iP11-s<-, \
Overall, the single largest land use within the CRA is residentiâ[-'t·'f:.' 'ority of the
residential development is comprised of single-family detached dwelllngs in older nei qJ~çrhoods.
Starting in the late 1990's the City began to experience a surge in~ltjl~ residential proj'fts in the
Central Business District. Most of these developments consist~d of"'ftiJtDer-OccUl2ied townhouse
style product; however, that trend has begun to diversify with r~'ffl~! ap~ents, ,iQfts, and luxury
condominium units. -"'\;;, -~~~i~:. _ ..>..f(:1'
';~. " "'i¡;:;~e
Commercial uses within the redevelopment are have' . er ,'clustered around the
Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway Corridors. In...' ' " BO§iness District retail activities are
concentrated primarily along Atlantic Avenue and - E. 2nd u~t!?)f1eapple Grove Way), while
general business, office, and other commercial us xtend n ;" ana south along and adjacent to
the Swinton Avenue and Federal Highway - orridor he mairftetail shopping and dining district
extends along Atlantic Avenue between . en Aven .' . Atlantic Ocean. Pineapple Grove
Way has historically contained more orhood oriente usinesses such as a grocery store,
drugstore and post office. However~. v rge scale redevelopment projects are transforming
this corridor into a retail ShOPPi~~'hd dinin 'stination, along with more than a hundred new
residential units being propos . : notQ.er evolvl _' mmercial district is in the area of West Atlantic
Avenue and NW/SW 5th Averiu , ,""~'fJew eth c restaurants and shops are emerging to serve
local residents as well as the wide lation.
Light industrial us - _ -,,' foun .f" attered throughout the CRA district. One small area in
the southwest corner of th (}.,., <i:~; .We is zoned for light industrial uses; however, development
potential is limil~; . - e it is I¥ated \ÑIthin a well field protection zone. Another area is concentrated
along the F:'Ji.~'Jai d co rrillQr jn the downtown. Several light industrial type uses that had
previously bee ,\~ -, -J9~~!J1( became conforming in 1995 with the creation of the CBD-RC
(Ce~tr~~j~~s n~ifR'lìrroad .Corridor) z?ning district. ~his district defined the .boundari~s of
the " ustnaf~_a, . ded the list of permitted uses and Included several special regulations
d - < ,~with ov~ea ~y arage doors and outside storage. In 1997 the City created an overlay
zoning ~. Jrict fo\,\1 portion of the General Commercial property situated on Federal Highway,
between' '. 14tt)~treet, Dixie Highway, North Federal Highway, and the City's northern boundary.
The district øfJs (under special conditions) uses such as light manufacturing, but it must be
accompanie y a retail showroom component. The change in the land use regulations was a result
of an in-depth study of the area and a need to allow special light industrial into the near-downtown
area.

¡
j
Institutional and Recreational land uses are located throughout the residential
neighborhoods of the CRA. Among these are four public schools, numerous churches, City Hall, the
Public Safety (Police) complex, the South County Courthouse, the City's Public Works complex, the
library, City Tennis Center, Community Center, and several public parks (see Appendix "0", Map H.)

The majority of the vacant land within the Community Redevelopment Area is in individual
building lots located within existing residential neighborhoods.

B. Existina Housina and Population
~
The 2000 Census of Population and Housing indicates the Redevelopment Area contains
approximately 5,724 housing units, with a resident population of approximat~ly 15,258. A
breakdown of total housing units and population by geographic sub-area is provjdød in Table 2-1
Part Two, Section Three of this Plan. The overall racial composition of the Community
Redevelopment Area is 26.5% white, 61 % black and 12.50/0 other. It should 9~:D,?tedf:~however, that
there is considerable variation in these percentages within different· íi~ig'hbØf{ioods of the
Community Redevelopment Area. -~-,; ~~î~.~ "

While on-street parking has historically and symbolically served downtown Delray Beach
well, off-street parking lots have been constructed to serve the additional parking needs of shoppers
and employees in this area. A total of 4,388 parking spaces were noted in a 1989 study of the 25
block downtown Atlantic Avenue core. In the time since 1989 additional public lots have been
constructed, however, there remains a need to provide additional public facilities. A study published
in 2003 in connection with the Downtown Master Plan indicated a weekday shortage of nearly 680
spaces in the Central Core area, and a weekday shortage of 319 spaces in the West Atlantic area.

In conjunction with the preparation of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR), the City conducted a visual survey of its current housing sto.ck. Residential

neighborhoods were classified as to the overall appearance and condition of tQ~structures and
infrastructure (See Figure 1: Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map)., ThJ\çlassifications
and their applicable descriptions are as follows: r"c~Æ¡~,," \

III. GEOGRAPHIC SUB-AREAS

J
Within the Community Redevelopment Area, there are considerable variations in the degree
of deterioration, land use patterns and existing socioeconomic conditions. In order to develop an
effective plan which is cognizant of these variations, the CRA has been dividedJt110 eight distinct
geographic sub-areas (see Figure 2) each requiring a different redevelopmentstrat~,gy. In addition
to addressing underlying problems and capitalizing on area opportunities, as~a ~;~ ed r~development
strategies focus on maintaining and enhancing major assets which provide þô§ :~ptributions to
the redevelopment effort. Physical features, (e.g. landmarks, barrierst,Bctivity center5~çJ, within
each sub-area are also considered, since they have a significantjgRuence upon speè1f'1Îc urban
design decisions which may impact overall redevelopment str~!~ý. ~*:~ " \ "'- ;

Another significant factor in the development of effective sub-area redevelopment strategies
is the participation of community members. The success or failure of stabilization and
redevelopment efforts is dependent upon the level of public support. Additionally, given the limited
resources available for redevelopment, coordination between public and private efforts is essential
to maximize efficiency and avoid duplication.
A detailed description of each of the eight geographic sub-areas of the CRA is provided
below. Each description provides an overview of existing conditions, including a list of major
physical features, institutions, and developments located within the sub-area. 1.i¿:~~

This sub-area, containing approximately 275 acres of land, consists of the City's central
business district (CBD) and several fringe residential areas. The area, while primarily commercial in
nature, contains a mix of residential, commercial and light industrial land uses. The retail/restaurant
core is centered on Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove Way.
The maximum building height allowed in this section of the CRA is 48' ~tèept for limited
areas where up to 60' is permitted by conditional use. With the exception of~a few mid-rise
buildings, including the office buildings in Atlantic Plaza and the Town ~Guare \ffice building
between the Federal Highway pairs, most of the buildings within the area a(1f~ðf.f~~1f!ee stories in
height. The tight massing of structures, particularly along Atlantic Aven~e and section~J'in.eapple
Grove Way, creates a solid continuous facade of buildings typically q~§,-<-ociated with olderføwntown
areas. The architectural styles are diverse, reflecting a downto~ff"fÎ1~"- - volved over de~êades.

(former Crê~Ø site) mixed use projects being constructed on Pineapple Grove Way reflect this
trend. The FjI~ railroad corridor runs through the Central Core district, with more than twenty freight
trains traversing the area on a daily basis. Until recently the uses abutting the railroad were
commercial and light industrial in nature, and many had not been renovated in decades. With the
advent of construction techniques that provide significant sound buffering, several new housing
projects are now underway that will place residential units immediately adjacent to the railroad.
Changes in the City's land development codes enabled the increase in the density and scale
that has helped the downtown to become more active and economically vital. In order to address
concerns that the new development would overwhelm the traditional one and two story buildings in

town, Design Guidelines were adopted to help to keep new construction compatible with the
downtown's historic scale.
As with most traditional downtowns, street parking played the most important early role in
providing convenient customer access. When the Atlantic Avenue streetscape improvements were
planned, the critical importance of street parking was understood, and the parking was retained to
the greatest extent possible. Increased parking demands created by the redevelopment activities,
along with rising property values, illustrate the importance of moving toward structured parking. In
order to improve traffic circulation and enhance pedestrian safety, the DowntQtÎ.n Master Plan
includes recommendations to change the one-way bypass system (N.E. and S.E. '1 stStreets) to two
way traffic, and widening of the sidewalks along the Federal Highway pairs .lr. ,!¡

minority bùtbeÆ 'es and residents. This situation was clearly unacceptable to the residents of the
area. In a colffier proposal presented by the West Atlantic Property Owners' Association (W APOA),
it was recommended that redevelopment of the area be accomplished on a block-by-block basis and
that commercial activity be generally limited to a depth of 300 feet from Atlantic Avenue rights-of-

an interim measure to guide land use decision-making prior to the creation of the West Atlantic

In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort for West Atlantic by inviting
numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of
17
developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by
professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee
of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and
strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as
U Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed "Visions West Atlantic". "Visions
West Atlantic" was a forum for a series of community meetings which ultimately produced
recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These
recommendations formed the backbone of the redevelopment plan, which was adopted by the City
in 1995. The plan holds the commercial zoning to the 300' limit on most blocks..~:§uilding heights
are limited to 48' with a preference expressed for two- and three-story buildings. \1"

developed a eenway program to landscape the vacant private lots fronting along the avenue. This
program was very effective at improving the visual appearance of the corridor. Additional

In 1996, a joint effort between the City of Delray Beach Planning Department and the CRA
was launched to write a redevelopment plan for North Federal Highway. The plan called for creating
a higher density (up to 18 units per acre) multi-family zoning district, an overlay district over a portion
of the General Commercial which would allow, under special circumstances, light industrial uses,
and a large beautification program. The residents in the area opposed the higher density
components of the plan while the commercial interests largely supported it. The City and CRA

revisited the plan in 1997. After a community wide planning charette facilitated by the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council, the provisions allowing for increased densities were eliminated,
and in March of 1999 the City adopted the North Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan.
In the years since the plan's adoption, several blighted buildings were demolished and/or
redeveloped, including the old Miller Dodge dealership, Arrow Trailer Park, and the Delray Swap
Shop. Two new high-end residential developments, The Estuary and Old Palm Grove, have been
constructed in the area between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Wat~rway. These
developments have increased the property values of the older adjacent neighbg(þoods, and are
helping to provide a local customer base for businesses along the highway. Therè~re still several
aspects of the plan that need to be implemented, including connector stre. ," 0 ", t parks, and
beautification of the neighborhood streets. .:';

a grant program. Most of the improvements have been implemented, including traffic calming,
landscaping of the railroad corridor, drainage improvements, parking lots, tot lot, and establishment
of grant programs for duplex conversions and beautification. In order to promote owner-occupancy

II. OVERALL NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
As opposed to specific needs identified within the various sub-areas of the Community
Redevelopment Area, these "Overall Needs" are area wide in scope and encompass some of the
more serious problems that are prevalent throughout the area and contribute to the overall state of
decline.

A. Removal of Slum and Bliaht /i~
- 'f.,
. "~..
The Community Redevelopment Area contains a substantial ~Jlíl~er ~f areas with
deteriorated and deteriorating structures that are a detriment to the health, Sã.~I~Ji'~.lfare of area
residents. The existence of these slum and blighted conditions contribute to the spr~aÇl.J?f disease
and crime, decrease the tax base and substantially impair or hinctil sound growth. '~é major
charge of the Community Redevelopment Agency is the consisleft1~~oval of t!1ese ðonditions
while subsequently preserving and enhancing the tax base of the·~2mrrill1.ity Rede~lopment Area.
The CRA continues to acquire blighted properties and assemblè~propèff{~ tq.}~ncourage their
redevelopment, primarily by the private sector. 0" ;;;~!J::~""

In 1990, the CRA initiated its Subsidized L08B1Pf'Ø; :*;'~iS progr£h1, which is available to
residents and businesses throughout the entire CRI distric ether "Yith other more specific CRA
Redevelopment efforts, has been an impetus for I12th reside . I a)tf commercial improvements
throughout the district. Other programs have sin '».been a ~., d, such as the Site Assistance
Program, the Façade Improvement Progr ..dt¡~~nd th ~. ~lo~Øent Regions Grant program, all of
which have helped to stimulate private ¡. vestment in ~Mires within the district.
¡(t~·
B. Land Use ,i:1\,.", "i.

Delray Beach is prima . ,',,, re)lQential c ' ~ é~ unity. Land uses within the City should be

Economic Development
J
The city's survival as a governmental entity is dependent upon the generation of adequate
tax revenues to meet the service needs of its residents. Projects that increase the overall
marketability of the city as a commercial, recreational and residential area will ultimately increase the

tax base.

Slum and blight have a negative impact on the tax base of the city and are self-propagating.
Although there is often a tendency to focus on individual redevelopment projects at the expense of
resolving underlying problems in order to set the stage for redevelopment; the existing and planned
CRA projects and programs stress the importance of both. The success of this community
redevelopment effort is largely dependent upon the economic vitality of the area. The CRA's
programs aimed at the elimination of slum and blighted conditions and improving the standard of
living of its residents are intended to be catalysts for the revitalization of the entirEtArea. Additional
projects aimed at increasing job growth and generating pedestrian activity ìn"/¡he downtown
complement the process by focusing on some of the underlying problems thJ~(prigiriiãlly resulted in
slum and blighted conditions. .r:ê:"~(~f~~~:*~;;.J"

In todays economic climate, a major pro~lem fo ~al-~§ca;tv~rnment is the provision of
sufficient affordable housing to meet the needs of i(i current á\q prQJected population. In general,
the housing delivery system is driven by the private~çtor, whi~ is a market driven system. The
South Florida area has become an incr~1ngly popOi~,-_pe~Jiitation and the strong demand for
housing has driven prices continuou~"'" pward, so tA~t;:;~Very city in Palm Beach County is

homes, apartments, and condominiums. Successfully renewed downtowns have the important
element of housing, particularly housing for young professionals, young retirees, and downtown
employees. These residents become strong supporters of local businesses and, in turn, local
businesses are able to improve and expand their goods and services. In recent years the downtown
has seen a surge in growth in downtown housing projects, which has begun to address the lack of
this important downtown element.

campus onto the parking lot that the agency currently owns, and will participate in funding the
construction of the parking garage that will replace the spaces in the lot. The CRA also recently
committed to funding some of Old School's operational costs, in order to ensure that the facility can
keep user fees low for nonprofits and community groups. The CRA has also committed substantial
funding and administrative assistance in the establishment of the S.D. Spady Cultural Arts Museum
(photo below), which focuses on the history of African Americans in South Florida, and helped pay

legal, medical, financial, real estate, computer technology, and related businesses. Due in part to
the large retirement population east of the Intracoastal Waterway demand for medical office space
within the Community Redevelopment Area has been strong. Similarly, there is also a demand for
other professional office space including legal offices. Such users prefer smaller scale personalized
and affordable buildings prevalent in mixed-use downtown areas. The South County Courthouse is
currently undergoing an expansion that will nearly double its size and may increase the possibility for
jury trials to be held in the area. This would lead to a greater market potential for legal office space,

particularly in the West Atlantic Avenue area.
B. Hotel DeveloDment Potential
Within the Community Redevelopment Area the largest and most modern hotel is the 250
room Marriott Hotel on the northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. At present,
the market for this hotel is balanced with business travelers and tourists. Other hotels in the area
include the Courtyards by Marriott, the historic Colony Hotel, Crane's Beach HouS§l and the Sundy
House, all of which account for an additional 231 hotel rooms. '-"';\~
I;,
Redevelopment efforts within the downtown area, aimed at increaSif'f'~,_I~\.sm potential,
may encourage future demand for additional hotel rooms. Because only a very smmt~pportion of
the Community Redevelopment Area possesses the amenity of oce9~:::'frontage, it is unn~'@!rthat an
additional large-scale tourist-related hotel could be developed w~JMi~1fl"e area. H>owevé'r, smaller
facilities (100 rooms or so) might be feasible. ¿..g~;~_ ~;J1:?}... l:.
C. Industrial Develo~ment potential';f~,"iit~";;;~~'~l'lf'
When the City of Delray Beach was found .: ,,-,' éŠ--qs for the shipment of goods to
and from northern markets was the railroad. H ce, the" tráT\ßûsiness District of the City
logically developed around the railroad line. Th ,ilroad is t; however, without its negative
impacts (e.g. noise, & vibration), particularl ,~~ low in' itydev~opment. The City formed the CBD
Industrial Area Committee in 1994 to ev te the pr05 ¡.~R6 recommend a solution. Data was
collected for the area including land uil, ing areas, existing parking, and employment. Based
upon the data and upon the char~m,ØtJsti Jhe area, the committee developed a new zoning
district, entitled Central Busines ,Ølstrict-Railr .5 ,Corridor (CDB-RC). This new district, established
in 1995, more accurately defil1é' b~¿t,ndaries tfe area, expands the list of permitted uses and
includes several special regulati ; aUng with t>verhead garage doors and outside storage.
Another area of t :" which ..>'. . he potential for additional industrial development is the
Interstate 95/SW 10th Str" ·;"~~..¡,~.Thi~ rea, located in the southwest corner of the Community
Redevelopment e,a, contåins?'a 1fiÎfi¡)f light industrial and commercial land uses together with a
large cemete ~ ' '? ;,single ~,milY résidential neighborhood. It is important to note; however, that
the proximity!', e s Seri~,~O Wellfield makes it imperative that development of this area be

< ' ,,~ch industrial development may be a potential is the area on North Federal
Higti . . bound "þy r:JE 14th Street on the south, Dixie Highway on the west, Federal Highway on
the eas d the Pity limit line shared with BOYnton Beach on the north. The area, zoned General

D. Residential DeveloDment Potential
Key opportunities for housing development relate to the availability of vacant land parcels
within the older residential neighborhood. Additional opportunities still exist for private development
of both subsidized and non-subsidized infill housing. Changes in the Comprehensive Plan relating
to density offer new residential housing opportunities in some of the poor neighborhoods. The
South West Plan recommends a series of changes to the current housing stock.

[]
In addition to the need for housing to serve the needs of low-moderate income households,
there is also an opportunity to attract younger upwardly mobile households within and adjacent to a
revitalizing downtown area. The high occupancy rates of multi-family residential units in such
locations as Coconut Grove, South Beach (Miami Beach), and Mizner Park, as well as the popularity
of the Atlantic Grove project on West Atlantic Avenue and various town home projects on North and
South Federal Highway, indicate that a segment of the market at a wide range of prices is attracted
to residential environments that combine housing and commercial uses in a "village-likell ambiance.
~ ~~;
~~..; ~_,II - .
In order to better assess the potential for commercial and residentiafgrðWtfHrtthe downtown
area, a market analysis was commissioned as part of the Downtown P~~m. The study w~~p'l1ducted
by Marketek, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. Marketek had prepared si~u~t~studies for the C;fVs West
Atlantic and Pineapple Grove districts in the mid-1990's. The curr~rit s~~y includeQ those areas, as
well as the Central Core and the Beach Business districts. The fôff~Y'ing ~ermatiqh from the study
relates to a marketing strategy for the downtown area. _ ",. "~~~,;:\ "':j;~:.:. ,.,,-,,F

Delray Beach has drawn upon its artistic Ché;;~C~~~~.4r~eh~~m to attract retail
establishments offering a more "holistic" shopping ..".:" ;0;'>. . Ò:ystomers are offered a charming
shopping experience, unhurried, and un-hassled a ,if they str ~t!ßl)ue seeking unique items for
gifts or their own personal use. The market for lux goods ., tinu~s to grow at unbridled rates.
Delray Beach retailers continue to be leaders in tH egment'rtf the market. Shoppers seeking
specialty items reflecting either cutting e~,Qøîfr~nds or} '~: .Id ,f~hioned service find Delray popular
as a stand alone shopping region. ShQ,fìi!S drawn to De Y13each come from throughout the tri-
county area seeking the city as a "~,e4lìnat"i">' "shopping area.
~-:,fi:"""~; 1'1 -; .
A critical component of,.~ continued e'c ' ~,_' .D1ic revitalization of downtown Delray Beach is
the creation of a unified districf\ìVftñ~ço!ifpl~mentarhusinesses that benefit from each other's sales,
customers and markets. The p~~ry vehicle for developing unified groups of stores and
businesses is clustering~".-çreating 'MÞlual advantages in terms of pedestrian flow and shared

of merchan:tð~,~that appeals to multiple customer markets (visitors, local residents and daytime
workers) will Jfave the greatest long-term viability.
I]
The Downtown Delray Beach area has been defined into eight clusters. Redevelopment
opportunities are identified for each of the eight clusters based on existing uses and attractions,
identifiable linkages among existing businesses, potential pedestrian flow and business
opportunities identified through the retail and residential market analysis.

Entering downtown Delray Beach from 1-95, Cluster 1 provides the first glimpses of downtown.
Aesthetically, the portion of West Atlantic Avenue within Cluster 1 lacks appeal. Large tracts of
vacant land, vacant buildings, unkempt storefronts, a four-lane road, inconsistent sidewalks, wide
parking lanes and an unrelated mix of businesses inhibit the district's drawing power. Major
businesses within this area include numerous beauty-related (barber, stylist, nails), ~óto-related (gas
stations, body repair/paint), convenience stores, a meat market and a funerallÏo~e. Few West
Atlantic residents interviewed for the market study indicated that they regy!,rly snQp or conduct
businesses at these establishments due to a lack of selection/quality of good~lfRu~~!k~ces. As part
of the West Atlantic Beautification project, NW 2nd through NW 6th Avenue was~i1J.'8.{oved with
widened paver brick sidewalks, landscape nodes and street lighting. Jf¡is project is to bHG~ntinued

CLUSTER 2 - TRANSITION CLUSTER - rlj'

Cluster 2 is suitably named the "Transition ClusterlJ as development pushes westward from East [1
Atlantic Avenue. West Atlantic Avenue, especially the area closestto Swinton Avenue, is the logical
choice for expansion as space becomes increasingly scarce along East Atlantic Avenue. Access to
1-95 and multiple target markets (e.g., daytime govemmentworkers, nearby residents) make Cluster [1]

The portion of East Atlantic Avenue between 5th Avenue and the

located between the Marriott and Colony Hotel. However, unlike
the Entertainment Cluster to the west, Cluster 6 should be - and
currently is - geared toward specialty retail that will appeal to
tourists and local residents.

IV. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS OF REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
The following section describes the potential impacts of redevelopment efforts on the
residential neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area and surrounding areas. While
neighborhood impacts have been considered for the specific redevelopment actions recommended
in this Plan, it should be noted that many of these projects are in the early stages of planning.
Therefore, some impacts resulting from their implementation may as yet be undeterTTJined. As these
projects become more clearly defined, and additional impacts are identified, this ~~tion of the Plan
will be amended. Other actions described in the Plan for subsequent years qre sJpject to further
refinement and elaboration in the intervening period and are conseque~rt t i(\çluded in the
consideration of short range impacts. ;.'-"'" .f'~J. .'.. <t

·ttt. early i , t e Florida Department of Transportation agreed to assist Delray Beach to
establis ~"" "', "Tr portation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)". The TCEA includes the
downtown':( rom 1-95 to A-1-A. Establishment of this TCEA allows for exempts new
developmen' " 'd redevelopment in the area from being subject to the County's traffic concurrency
requirements. This was an important tool for facilitating redevelopment, as there is little or no
opportunity in the downtown to widen roads to accommodate increases in traffic.

Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects may still require certain improvements
or modifications to the existing roadway network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when
specific project designs are undertaken. It is also recommended that architectural and site-specific
design solutions be considered to mitigate potential traffic and parking impacts of specific projects
on adjacent residential neighborhoods.

c. Environmental Qualitv
The redevelopment actions proposed in the Plan are intended to improve the environmental
quality within the Redevelopment Area. At least one program, the Subsidized Loan Program,
addresses this issue by providing interest subsidies on exterior improvement loans for residents and
businesses throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. Improvements associated with this
program help foster a sense of community pride and spur additional revitalization efforts throughout
the area. ,.
.;/\~
'i;\
Other programs that assist with environmental quality are the Paint U.R~progr~m available to
commercial and multi-family residential buildings in the W est Atlantiðè':-:ãf~~ßJh,e Business
Development Program that assists new businesses in the West Atlantic area with·'té~tsubsidies,

The School Board has planned for the relocation of Atlantic High School to a new building
west of 1-95, placing the high school out of the Community Redevelopment area. The Village
Academy opened in the Fall of 2000 with grades K-2, adding grades each year until they reach the
12th grade. Carver Middle School was renamed the Delray Full Service Center, which is an
alternative school. This school site also houses a head start program and other community classes
such as adult literacy programs, etc. No other major actions affecting existing school facilities within
the Redevelopment Area are planned by the Palm Beach County School Board at this time. The
residential development programs identified within the Community Redevelopment Plan will likely
42
represent only a small percentage of overall County population growth.

Florida Statutes require tha~. '" munity Redevelopment Plan be consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. In org¢y",tg'Tema" . . rrent in the fast-paced, highly volatile economy of
South Florida, the Community l1(äeve~opment '. :,' ~Js amended when programs are changed or as
new programs and projects th§f"'~ r~, Qt include~': tin the original plan are proposed. To maintain
consistency with the City's Plan a' "i¡l~,;."tiered approach is used during the amendment process.

Those portions of the CRA Plan and subsequent amendments which involve only the
resources of the CRA will not be included within the City's Comprehensive Plan. However,
whenever significant City Participation is a part of a CRA project and such participation has not been
addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, it may be necessary to process a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment prior to action by the City. Generally, it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive
Plan in order to accommodate the following:

PART FOUR: THE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
I. REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
When considering redevelopment strategies it is important to note that the CRA cannot
possibly fund the immense task of redevelopment on its own. It must therefore structure its
programs to act as catalysts for redevelopment efforts by individual residents and bysinesses within
the CRA and to leverage investment by private enterprise. With limited resour~s available for
redevelopment efforts, the Agency must be careful not to spread itself too thio by atempting to do
too much at once. Innovative programming on the part of the Agency is ." . . ~\ to maximize
benefits from expenditures. Since the implementation of a few strategically p "~V"ell-funded
programs may have a much greater impact on the overall area tha!}~ many inadequått!,Y"Junded
ones, programs must be evaluated in the context of the agency's Q\Î$ª" goals, and impfêmented
accordingly. øi ",.'ël:c" >,

various projects and programs that have been crea~f t ' e~ those strategies. Table"" lists
the geographic subareas and the corresponding p . jects a . og~s.

The community "visions meetings" recognized that the need to facilitate the redevelopment
of West Atlantic Avenue could not stop with completion of the plan. After a series of discussions,
the group established the need for oversight and a project manager to implement the plan. The
West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) is a nonprofit organization that was created to
advise the CRA and City on redevelopment issues in the area. A staff position was created to
facilitate the monthly W ARC meetings, act as a liaison between W ARC and the CRA/City and focus
on the implementation of objectives and strategies in the plan. In 1997, the CRA amended the Plan
by incorporating market research and by analyzing, in general, the redevelopment qpportunities of
each block in the area. The second amendment was adopted by the CRA and QltY in 2000.

Also in 2000, the City and the CRA applied for a grant to the MacArt .Ii' Fou~ation to fund
another community planning exercise, the Downtown Master Plan. The ge'" ; ~as covered
by the downtown plan included the commercial districts along the Atla~,tic Avenue co ': r f~om the

The Land Use Element of the CitYs
Comprehensive Plan required that a special CBD
Development Plan be developed jointly by the CRA and
the City. The purpose of this policy as originally intended
was to prepare a plan that would encourage the
revitalization and redevelopment of the downtown, which
was experiencing high vacancy rates and a lack of
private investment. Another objective was to address
the maximum development that could occur in the area
while still retaining its unique character and charm.
Numerous studies, beautification and redevelopment
projects, special events, and zoning code amendments were undertaken which helped to spur a
major renaissance in the downtown. However, there was still a need to prepare a plan that would
address the question of the maximum amount of development that is desirable, as well as strategies
to ensure that the rebirth and revitalization are sustainable for the long term.

that of bridging the gap between East and West Atlantic Avenue commercial districts. Pursuant to
that objective, the Downtown Plan evolved to also include the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Area.
In order to ensure that the planning process was an inclusive and wide-spread effort, a 31-
person Steering Committee was established to oversee the development of the plan and its various
components, and to disseminate information and updates to constituent groups. The planning
process included tours of the area, a weekend long race relations workshop, pr~sentations by
planning experts, and a design charette that was attended by hundreds. The }~litire process is
documented in the City publication "Creating Inclusive Partnerships." The ~Ian ~s adopted in
March of 2002, and the Steering Committee evolved into the Downtow .{' an lri!plementation

When the MacArthur Fou~on agr 0 provide funding for preparation of the Downtown
Delray Beach Master Plan, th . I 0 'ncluded " ,ing for a plan to address the most distressed
neighborhood adjacent to thEf' - Qtic co ercial corridor: the Southwest Neighborhood.
This area had long been charac ed by slum and blighted conditions, including inadequate
infrastructure, high crim or housi onditions aggravated by absentee ownership, and a large
number of vacant prope . t wer 't being maintained. In 2002 the City hired planning
consultants JEG Associate· '. "- the neighborhood on a plan to address these issues. With
some deviatio Ian e " pa es the area generally bounded by 1-95 on the west, SW 10th
Street on th intonvenue on the east, and' the CBD zoning district on the north.

_ ' . d stakeholders was assembled to assist in the communication and
oJ the planning process. This group, known initially as the Southwest

One the first tasks completed by the consultant was a "Livability Workshop," which was
designed to obtain stakeholder input regarding livability conditions relative to indicators such as
schools, public safety, parks. transit, etc. The results of the surveys and interviews helped
determine the strengths and weaknesses of the community, and provided direction for the plan's

W 5th Avenue Beautification

This project encompasses the three commercially-zoned blocks of 5th Avenue between
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (NW 2nd Street) and SW 1st Street. The SW/NW 5th Avenue area
was once a thriving commercial and institutional corridor in the heart of the City's African American
neighborhood. In the 1980's, the County provided funding for the two-block beautification of NW
5th Avenue, but the on-street parking was eliminated, which negatively affected area businesses.
Over time several of the businesses left and the street became neglected and unsafe. The objective
of this program is to revitalize the corridor into a thriving district for neighborhood businesses and
cultural activities. It has also become necessary to remove the trees along NW 5th Avenue, since

(ADA).

In 2003 the CRA contracted with the engineering firm of CH2M Hill and Miami artist Gary
Moore to create a new streetscape for the corridor. Several meetings were held at St. Paul's
Church on NW 5th Avenue, ... .'_ ..... leo'

a new streetscape. It will include

tf-eation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has consistently made efforts to
attract new " ' sses into Downtown Delray Beach. The economic importance of the Downtown
and the need-+, ðr major attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in the 1986
Community Redevelopment Plan. The City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and
competitive commercial marketplace, has included several policies in its Comprehensive Plan
toward achieving that end. In 1993 and 1994 the CRA acquired property on Block 85 (south side of
Atlantic Avenue west of the FEC Railroad) and in 1995 issued an RFP for its redevelopment. The
project resulted in a restaurant/retail/entertainment complex known as Grove Square, which restored
night life to the downtown and stimulated a boom in new retail and restaurant openings on Atlantic
Avenue. .

Despite significant redevelopment interest in the
area, one large parcel fronting Atlantic Avenue in Block 77
(south side of Atlantic Avenue between SE 1st and SE 2nd
Avenues) continued to decline. This parcel contains the
former "Executive Mall" office building, a four-story building
which was vacant and had deteriorated to the point where
it became injurious to the public health and safety. Due to
the extreme deterioration of this parcel and as a result of
increased developer interest in the ./~tea, the CRA
contemplated acquiring the balance of mock 77 and a
. ¥>
portion of Block 78 to create a rede'{~ppméQt parcel large
enough to accommodate a major ''Blff4~0,.;, . f economic
development. In 1996, the CRA issue .. ·.."RFP and
awarded the winning pro¡:?,· ger the right to ri1øÕtiate a
contract for redevelopment. The proposer, a large publishe!J.,r W ~".,)¡; have brçught" over 200

this block al1-:' the one immediately to the east (Block 84) contained structures in deteriorated
condition and uses which had a blighting influence on the surrounding Pineapple Grove
neighborhood. A major obstacle to the redevelopment of the area was the lack of adequate
parking. Since this was also a problem for Old School Square, the CRA decided to make this the
major focus of its initial redevelopment effort Block 76. The CRA purchased the former site of the
Pierce Tire Company as well as a property that was associated with the former Ocean City lumber
yard on Block #84. These acquisitions were made possible through $500,000 of redevelopment
seed money that was authorized under the Decade of Excellence Bond. In 1996, the CRA
completed the first phase of parking on Block #76, constructing 131 parking spaces. In 1997, the

CRA determined that, due to heightened consumer activity in the immediate area and the
surrounding blocks, an additional parking phase should be commenced. The CRA acquired a
building located along NE 1st Avenue, the Van Hill property, by eminent domain in order to increase
parking capacity.
J
J
J
In 2000, Old School Square held a community charette to determine the future of the facility.
These discussions resulted in a plan to expand the Old School Square campus onto Block 76,
creating a large urban park. The existing surface parking lot is to be converted to 0l?en space, and
a parking garage is to be constructed at the north end of the block. In addition to r~acing the 170+
spaces that currently exist on the site, the garage will' also accommodate additionaf?þarking for Old
School Square, the Pineapple Grove area, and businesses along Atlantiç..'j~yenÜ~. In order to
implement the plan, several privately owned parcels in the block must be aéqCfftè~~fl~,004 the City
passed a bond referendum for Parks and Recreation projects, including the Old SlšftQOI Square

NW 5th Avenue is the historic, commercial corridor in the district.. In addition, the CRA views the
area as a opportunity to substantially upgrade the existing housing fabric and to develop a moderate
income housing program on vacant lots in the district. In addition, the vacant lots could be used as
sites for displaced historic houses resulting from redevelopment throughout the CRA district. In
2003 the CRA established the West Settler's Advisory Board, a community-based board that
advises the CRA on activities and funding priorities for the district. The CRA also created a grant
program to aid in the restoration of the remaining historic properties in the area. In 2004 the CRA
acquired the La France Hotel, an historic structure that in the days of segregation was the only hotel

The Community Redevelopment Agency began to address the issue of affq(4able housing in
1992, focusing on the development of infill housing on the numerous vacaWlt 10t!~located in the
neighborhoods north and south of West Atlantic Avenue. In 1995 the CRA q~,,"~e ~<partner in the
Renaissance Program, which provides single family homes for first time buYê'f§'~il,. rogram has
been extremely successful, thus far resulting in the delivery of more than 160 horn' ;10 low and
moderate income families. However, the supply of available vacan, ..t's has begun to a'fi'dle and
land values have escalated significantly as a result of redevelopmØñ 'vity in the, neiglîborhoods

When work began on creating a Downtown Maste{'=""'~ " , -~" _Gd~elopment from 1-95
to the beach, participants in the process cited th~<:è' ;t-ð)-<'Qf housing as a major concern.
Redevelopment efforts in the central part of the : wntow ait'~~dy resulted in substantially
higher land values and rents, which had spread b nd the c "me~al area into the surrounding
neighborhoods. In anticipation of the Downtown ...~r Plan I ·fi ding to a similar outcome for the
West Atlantic area, a subcommittee was ~ßd to am--· . th....~ssue of affordable housing. This
group of residents and staff people, ~:;' ere assiste ~e FAU/FIU Joint Center, met on a
regular basis to examine methods- Ì%, other cities to create affordable housing. Those
meetings resulted in a pUblicatio.. n,)., f'4i=JstU/FlefiS' ." titled "Development Without Displacemenf, which
outlined a number of programs t.!<ì aPl2roaches· ÅJ~ould be implemented to maintain affordability

The . ,,></f has identified several areas of the northwest and southwest Atlantic Avenue
corridor in w h future affordable housing opportunities may be found. These opportunities can in
the form of newly constructed housing units built on land acquired as part of large scale
redevelopment projects as well as the redevelopment of existing duplexes, multi-family complexes
and existing mixed use structures. The CRA has already acquired several buildings that will be
used or redeveloped as affordable housing, and has partnered with the Delray Beach Housing
Authority for property management services. The CRA has also provided funding to the Housing
Authority to facilitate the development of property south of Carver Estates for affordable housing. As
redevelopment continues on west Atlantic Avenue and into the northwest and southwest

After receiving various proposals from a number of banks relative to providing low

proposals and interest rates. The intent was to develop a pool of money froll) onè%pr more
banks which could be used to provide loans to Community Redevelopmen, . a rè~idents. As
an incentive and inducement for property owners to improve and upgrade" _, :~. rty, the

notion of a ct.' huttle ...,.furthered in the City's Comprehensive Plan, which states that the
City will develo 4 9mw~!2~" n in-town shuttle system which links the rail stations, the central
busin~ . ~ waterway access points, parking areas, community facilities and
add 'ses n elderly. In 1992 the CRA commissioned FAU/FIU Joint Center for
E ental U J" n Problems to give its recommendations on the development and operation
of a t sys· in Del ray. The report, entitled, "A Downtown Trolley: An Altern~tive
Transpo . n r >r de in the City of Delray Beach", recommended a free, three-trolley system,
however fu was not available at the time to implement it. In 1995 the City worked with the
Florida Dep ment of Transportation to create a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area
("TCEA") for the downtown. The TCEA designation was necessary in order to stimulate
redevelopment of the downtown without triggering a requirement for road improvements that would
be impossible to implement due to right-of-way constraints. In order to provide alternative measures
to mitigate traffic impacts, the City committed as part of the TCEA to a plan for inner-city transit.

# 3.5: Business Development Program
Backaround
Increasing economic activity within the Community Redevelopment Area is a major objective
of the overall Community Redevelopment Program. Investments by the CRA which result in
increased business opportunities have positive impacts on employment, the tax base, and the
physical environment, all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted
77
h
r~
conditions. Many other CRA programs are aimed at increasing economic activity within the CRA
district. The purpose of this "Business Development Program" is to provide a means to focus the
effort. The primary goal of the program is to facilitate small business development within the
Community Redevelopment Area, particularly in the West Atlantic Redevelopment Area.
fl
t j
The program will encourage and assist businesses by providing assistance during the crucial
first year of operation or expansion. The program will provide additional benefits to the local
economy by helping to eliminate some of the vacant commercial space within the area. This not
only improves the overall appearance of the area, but also contributes toward the ,g~velopment of a
critical mass of activity, whereby individual businesses draw additional customers'tpr each other.

The preservation of historic structures in the Community Redevelopment Area is a major
objective of the overall redevelopment program. Historic preservation is important both
economically and culturally and is an important tool for eliminating slum and blighted conditions.
Historic downtowns are generally more successful if their buildings are preserv~d, rather than
demolished. A well preserved historic downtown can be marketed as a unique pJª-~e for people to
work, shop, eat and congregate. This enhances the social and economic vitp.lity &:f the area and
increases the property tax base. ,>~/i;,~_" ~tS

that, it will enable the CRA to adqre§>s the is ;~'"~, of relocation and housing replacement for CRA
residents who may be displace",,' a r~~ult of fuMtß{ledevelopment activity. An informal partnership
was created between the Coun' ~~ty, the ORA, and the Community Financing Consortium

mortgage construction a ;." ermane ~ Q~f1s to builders and home buyers. The CRA's major role
was to acquire vacant lots "vide sêif~"'second mortgage financing to home buyers. In addition,
the CRA, on a Ii~it~d basi ~~~ \~rP¡:Ovide loan guarantees to builders for model homes.

concentrates·,: s that which is defined by the City and approved by HUD as the target area for
development of low and moderate income housing. The emphasis of the program, although not
limited, is to encourage single-family, fee simple home ownership. The household income target for
the program is as low as under 50% of median income and as high as 120% of median income.
In 1997, the CRA began using its second mortgage funds to assist homeowners living within
the West Atlantic commercial corridor to move into new, affordable housing.

I. SOURCES OF REDEVELOPMENT FUNDING AND FINANCING
The following section provides a general review of potential sources of funding for
redevelopment programs, and a description of the funding sources applicable to each of the
improvements or projects identified in the plan. In general, a variety of financing options are
presently available to the Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach. Among
these are the following:
~,_:~~,
'õ""
" \
Tax Increment Revenue is typically the major source of funding for ridèy~1
under the State of Florida Community Redevelopment Act. This incremeñtf~"C'
annually, is equal to 950/0 of the difference between: the amount of ast valorem taxe ' i~.,d each
year by each applicable taxing authority on taxable real pro·, ': within the i'f ~ munity
Redevelopment Area; and, the amount of ad valorem taxes that ~òul . ve been 'produced by the
current millage rates prior to establishment of the Redevelop1ft~J1t T ,~..Fund..~I::Both of these
amounts are exclusive of debt service millage of the taxing authorit~. '¡~~1J';;._ ..;.ß~

e poses of financing redevelopment actions, The City of Delray may also issue
General Ot:) n Bonds. These bonds are secured by debt service millage on the real property
within the Ci and must receive voter approval. The existing "Decade of Excellence Program",
which includes may redevelopment initiatives, is funded, in part, by a 21.5 million dollar 1990
General Obligation Bonds, Series 1990 and 1993.

D. Special Assessment Districts
f 1
I '
lJ
The City of Delray Beach could also establish special assessment districts for the purpose of
funding various neighborhood improvements within an area or for the construction of a particular
project. This funding mechanism was utilized in 1994 whereby a Special Assessment District was

set up so that each of the property owne"'s in the Banke"'s Row project could be assessed annually
over a 10-year period for their share of the cost in the project. This mechanism was also used in
Pineapple Grove in 2004, whereby property owners could pay a one time assessment or split the
assessment up into payments over 20 years at an interest rate of 8%.
E. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
1
j
Each year the City of Delray Beach receives CDBG grant funds directly frçm the Federal
Government to improve the area designated as the "Community DevelopmentTarg~t Area". These
CDBG monies are committed to demolition of substandard housing units, housing rèt).ab assistance,
and home ownership assistance within the target area which includes m 'of t~e Community
Redevelopment Area. All of the total funds expended have been for the be ", ow, low, and
moderate income residents and assistance grants to community-based,ßocial servicè'~ '~ nizations.

II. FIVE YEAR PROJECTION OF REVENUE & EXPENSES
The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This fund is I]
the depository for all TI F revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on
estimates of the current property valuations the rate of private new construction, it is estimated that flJf
the total tax increment revenue generated by the redevelopment area will be approximately $47.6
million over the next five year period. This estimate is believed to be conservative since it does not
include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects described in this plan. These projects
will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and entered on the tq~tolls. I I
~
Since its creation in 1985, the CRA has continued to expand its red 0 m nt efforts into
the surrounding community. In 2004 the CRA issued $10 million in tax-exeffi 0 accelerate [lj
several beautification and infrastructure projects in order to insure that /.~uch vital roa a.s West

III. FIVE-YEAR REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND FUNDING ALLOCATIONS
This section of the Community Redevelopment Plan provides a five-year funding program for the
Planning, Redevelopment and Community Improvements programs and projects that are identified
within the Plan. This five-year program is intended to serve as a guide for project implementation
and to assist in cash flow management. It is not intended to replace the annual budget adopted by
the CRA.
Table 4-3 lists estimated project-specific net funding allocations for each CRA proMct. This table is

# 1.1: Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception
Backaround
I
]
In Novemb~r, 1990, the City of Delray Beach Planning Director made a presentation to the
CRA on the 1990 Countywide Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance and its effect on the City.
Under the ordinance, the City may not issue development orders for a proposed project if it adds
traffic to county or state roadways, within its radius of influence, which causes total traffic to exceed
the adopted Levels of Service (LOS). The ordinance does; however, incluç;ll: provisions for
"Geographic Areas of Exception (GAE)", which allow the County to set new lower f~els of service
for roadways which will be impacted by development within the GAE. This m -'~ s th " development
within the GAE is then allowed to increase traffic on area roadways beyoñ .Iy permitted
levels. ~

The City of Delray Beach proposes to establish a Downtown '. GAE in order t6 foster the
continued development and redevelopment of the downtown ard;'{,)n es' '~1iJpe, th ':.. ,evitalization of
the downtown is dependant upon the City's ability to attract people tdf1!J,e ar~1i" o' ,to work and to
shop. The establishment of the GAE will further the City'§.~"~~·. d' jng t ncreases in traffic
which will undoubtedly occur as a result. Without the GAE,~~~ .¿ '. ". ~ evelopment within the
downtown would be permitted. Due to its tremendo~fiff~, ~~erall redèvelopment efforts, the
CRA agreed to fund the preparation of the GAE a' licatio ë1t~as, application fees.

Following publication of the Plan, the property owners formed a Homeowners' Association
and sought funding for the project, including street improvements and a parking lot from the City.
The City was unable to fund the project and subsequently the property owners requested the same
from the CRA. In 1992, the CRA, City and Homeowners' Association adopted an Interlocal Tri-
partite Agreement in which the Property Owners would fund $32,500 for the project, payable over 10
years; the City would fund a new water main; and, the CRA would fund the construction of the
parking lot and the balance of the street improvements.

The Main Street Program, organized in 1994, has been operating under a 501 (c)(3), non-
profit corporation. The group has accomplished several important plans and programs which
include the establishment of committees to deal with organization, design, economic restructuring,
and marketing. In 1996, the organization held a weekend charette and developed the first draft of a
street master plan for NE 2nd Avenue. The organization completed a master plan for its district in
1998 which was approved by the CRA and the City. The plan calls for significant beautification,
construction of parking lots, and infill, mixed-use development. Other accomplishments include
additional art in public places, new street signs, special events, and more.

Together with the CRA and others, the organization proceeded with the first phase of its
master plan to construct the entry to the district at NE 2nd Avenue and East Atlantic Avenue. In
2000', Pineapple Grove Main Street held the ribbon cutting for its first entry arch located near the
intersection of NE 2nd Avenue and East Atlantic Avenue. In 1999, the City and CRA approved
creating an assessment district on NE 2nd Avenue to assist in funding the comple~~~f.?eautification of
NE 2nd Avenue. The City and CRA will fund approximately 2/3 of the cost and t~,",e assessment

Beginning in late 1985, a group of concerned citizens established a task force to save the old
schools, which the Palm Beach County School Board had planned to abandon. The 4 acre site of
the Delray Beach Elementary School, containing two school buildings, a 350 seat auditorium and a
gYmnasium seemed to have potential, not only as an important historic preservation project, but also
as an arts center benefitting Delray Beach and the surrounding communities. The Historical Society
established a committee to establish the possibility of restoring all or a portion of the school complex
and to locate a historical museum within the school.

The committee, now Old School Square, Inc. reported its findings to the City Commission in
1987 and recommended the restoration of the facility and development of an art and cultural center.
A professional feasibility study was prepared and determined the project to be feasible. Hence,
engineering surveys of the existing buildings and building plans were prepared and the restoration
project began in 1988.

The on-going restoration and development of the 6.6 million dollar center has become a
source of pride to Delray Beach residents. Serving as the centerpiece of the A.tlantic Avenue
Business Corridor from Interstate 95 to A-1-A, the center which opened in .199q:l~oW includes a

# 2.6: Block 60 Redevelopment

Protect Schedule
~ Completion of demolition and land clearing will occur by summer 2001
~ The property was sold to Atlantic Grove Partners in October 2002
Backaround
This Block lies in a strategic location between two major redevelopment projects on
Atlantic Avenue, the Municipal Tennis Center/City Hall and Old School Square. With the large
sums of money involved in these two projects, it is imperative that development in this block
does not detract from the overall redevelopment effort. The overall appearance of the block has
been a blight to the area. Existing land uses consisted of poor quality residential duplex units,
vacant commercial structures, vacant property, and several single family residences, some of
which are currently in a state of severe blight.

Given the prime location and condition of existing property, this block is ripe for
redevelopment. In fact, one of the single family residences, IITarrimore", was acquired for
conversion to a high-quality restaurant,-"Damiano'sll. In 1992, the owner of the Tarrimore
property approached the CRA and suggested a redevelopment concept for the northern part of
block 60. This concept included the construction of a parking lot and the conversion of one
blighted single family home to commercial use. It was also anticipated that the parking lot
would service the three remaining single family homes on the block if they should convert to non-
residential uses.
1
j
In 1993, the CRA further developed the concept for the Block. The State of Florida
awarded the City a $242,800 IIHistoric Preservation Grant" to rehabilitate two historic structures
which were originally located in the Hillcrest Neighborhood of West Palm Beach. These two
historic structures were moved to their permanent site fronting Swinton Avenue in June 1994.
One of the structures is currently utilized for the CRA's Offices and the other was sold to the
City of Delray Beach who leased it to the State Preservation Office. Having additional
governmental uses in close proximity to the City Hall complex is consistent with the City's plan of
a governmental campus.
1
1
J
1
i
j
The original concept fits very well into an overall redevelopment scheme for the block.
This scheme contains a commercial or governmental use(s) fronting on Swinton Avenue, a
common parking lot in the center of the block, and non-residential conversions of single family
houses surrounding the parking lot. Another advantage of this concept is that the parking lot
would also be used to meet the demands for Old School Square, the Community Center and the
Tennis Center.
I
r
j
In 1996, the CRA completed an additional parking lot, adjoining the first lot, completed in
conjunction with the restoration of the two historic houses. In addition, the CRA sold a parcel of
land, through the Request for Proposal process, to a developer who, in turn, constructed a two-
story, 6,000 square foot office building. The developer also purchased five parking spaces from
the CRA.
,
i
f
I
!
In 1999, a property owner on the block, Manimal Land Company, Inc., purchased eight
parking spaces from the CRA in anticipation of redeveloping its two lots into a 12,000 square foot,
two-story office building. Another property owner on the block, including Manimal and the restaurant
owner, expressed interest in 2000 in acquiring additional parking spaces in order to expand their
facilities.
,
j
i
The CRA, in anticipation of the need by property owners for parking, condominiumized
the parking lot. In addition, the City purchased, in 1996, 12 spaces for public use, particularly for
the Tennis Center and Community Center, located on NW 1st Avenue. The CRA expects
further development of the block by conversion of existing residential to commercial uses.

# 2.7 SeacrestlDellda Park Neighborhood Improvement
Backaround
1
j
This Historic District, commonly known as "Dellda Park", is bounded by N.E. 4th Street, N.E.
8th Street, Swinton Avenue and the F.E.C. Railroad. Zoning in the area includes "R-1-AA Single-
Family Residential" , "RL Low Density Residential" and IIRO Residential/Office". Land uses are
varied, containing a mixture of single-family and multi-family residences and professional/medical
offices. The Del Ida Park area contains many historic structures and has a unique quality that is
attractive to small scale office users and home occupations. With beautification and elimination of
some of the blighted conditions, expansion of these types of uses in the area is likely. The medical
professionals in the area are particularly interested in participating in the improvement of the
neighborhood.
1
i
¡
The Seacrest neighborhood is bounded by the FEC Railroad on the east, North Swinton
Avenue on the west, 8th Street on the south, and Gulfstream Boulevard and Atlantic High School
southern boundary on the north. The area is quite deteriorated on NE 3rd Avenue north of 14th
Street and contains an infiltration of duplexes and multi-family housing in an area once almost
entirely single family. A significant number of homes are historic. The area north of NE 8th Street
between North Swinton and NE 2nd Avenue is outside of the CRA district but is contained in the
study area as a result of its geographic connectivity.
}
t
j

j
I
In 1998, the City and CRA, together with the two homeowner associations, Seacrest and Del
Ida, completed a neighborhood plan. The plan calls for beautification of streets, the beautification of
the NE 3rd Avenue railroad corridor, the construction of municipal parking lots to relieve the short
supply of parking in multi-family residences, and the conversion of duplexes to single-family
residences. The City, CRA, and homeowners are funding the projects.
ProGram Obiectives
1
~ Implement the SeacrestlDellda Neighborhood Plan
~ Elimination of slum and blighted conditions, particularly on N.E. 3rd Avenue and N.E. 4th
Street, and to prevent these conditions from spreading to other parts of the neighborhood
~ Reduce overall densities in the neighborhood
~ Encourage development and redevelopment on RO zoned property, particularly for medical
offices
~ Promote historic preservation
~ Promote residential rehabilitation
~ Increase employment and business opportunities in the area
~ Improve the street appearance by beautification
~ Increase open space areas, including pocket parks and landscaped areas along the railroad
corridor
~ Promote owner-occupied, single-family housing
