II CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION I 1
TO: DA~~EN CITY AIiIAGER
THRU: PA DORLlNG, DIRECT OF PLANNING AND ZONING
FROM: SCOTT PAPE, SENIOR PLANNER
SUBJECT: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 2, 2004
PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENT TO LDR SECTION 4.4.24(B} & (F) BY ALLOWING
THE PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THE CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD) TO APPLY TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF LOT 5 AND
ALL OF LOT 6, BLOCK 75 OF THE TOWN OF DELRAY SUBDIVISION.
II BACKGROUND AND ANAL YSIS II
The City has received a privately initiated LDR text amendment from Pineapple Grove Limited. The
proposed amendment will extend the permitted uses and development standards of the Central Business
District (CBD) to the southern portion of Lot 5 and all of Lot 6, Block 75 of the Town of Delray. Lots 5 and 6
is currently zoned OSSHAD and contains an existing two-story 6-unlt multiple family structure and a duplex
(8 total dwelling units). The request is being made in connection with a larger mixed-use development
proposal on Lots 5 through 8 and 13 through 16, Block 75 of the Town of Delray subdivision (see attached
Map).
In 1990, with the citywide rezonings, the OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) zoning district
was created and applied to properties located within the historic district, including lots 5 through 8. Lots 5
and 6 were rezoned from RO (Residential Office) to OSSHAD. Lots 7 and 8 were rezoned from GC
(General Commercial) to OSSHAD Currently there are several lots located within OSSHAD that may be
developed in accordance with the permitted uses and development standards of the CBD. These lots (see
attached map), which include the blocks fronting on Atlantic Avenue on either side of Swinton Avenue
(excluding the Old School Square complex), the Neal Farms Market property (Lots 7-8 of the proposed
project), and the west half of Block 76 across from Old School Square, were so identified because their
existing or potential uses and/or development pattern were more typical of the CBD than OSSHAD zoning.
This development potential was not extended to Lots 5 & 6 given the properties history of residential use.
The OSSHAD zoning was, and continues to be, a district that promotes the restoration and reuse of existing
structures and provides for mixed uses of residential, office, and commercial activities. Permitted uses in
the district include: single family and duplex dwellings, offices, retail shops, restaurants, arts related
businesses, training and vocational schools, libraries and museums, barber and beauty shops, and bed and
breakfast inns. Allowed as conditional uses are residential units in a mixed-use structure, outdoor dining,
various types of residential care facilities (Le. Adult Congregate Living Facilities, alcohol and drug abuse
treatment facilities, nursing homes), parking lots not associated with a use (Le. public parking), and
residential inns. Structures within the district are permitted to a height of 35', and building setbacks are as
follows: 25' front, 15' side street, 7.5' interior side, and 10' rear.
The proposed amendment would add multifamily development as a permitted use, would allow an increase
in building height from 35' to 48' and up to 60' subject to conditional use approval by the City Commission; a
reduction of the minimum open space requirement from 25% to 0%; and a reduction in the minimum
building setbacks, including the potential for 90% of the building frontage to have a front setback of 5'
instead of the 25' front setback required in the OSSHAD Furthermore, the restriction within the OSSHAD
zoning district that limits the residential floor to not more 50% of a mixed-use building would be eliminated.
The text amendment would also allow parking within the front yard, which is not permitted in the OSSHAD
district.
108
---
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4 5(M)(1), amendments to the Land Development Regulations may be initiated
by the City Commission, Planning and Zoning Board or City Administration; or an individual may request an
amendment. The proposed amendment is a privately initiated text amendment to the Land Development
Regulations.
II REVIEW BY OTHERS II
Community Redevelopment Aaencv:
The CRA considered the text amendments at Its meeting of September 9, 2004 and recommended denial.
Since the applicant was unable to attend the September 9th meeting, the CRA reconsidered the text
amendment at its meeting of September 28, 2004 and again recommended denial.
Pineapple Grove Main Street Executive Committee:
At its meeting of September 1, 2004, the Pineapple Grove Main Street Executive Committee considered the
subject LDR text amendments Due to a lack of a quorum, the Committee did not take a formal action on
the proposal However, the general sentiment of the members that did attend was not in support of the
proposed changes. The Committee members did not support the increase in intensity that would result
given the increase in height.
Historic Preservation Board:
At its meeting of July 15, 2004, the Historic Preservation Board considered the LDR text amendment to
Sections 4.4.24(B) & (F), which allows the CBD permitted uses and development standards for the subject
lots zoned OSSHAD. The Board unanimously recommended approval of the LDR text amendment to allow
the permitted uses and development standards for the subject parcels.
~ PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION I
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing regarding this item at its meeting of September 27,
2004 There was one person from the public that expressed opposition to the proposed text amendment.
After discussing the amendment, the Board unanimously voted 4-0 (Borchardt, Walker, and Morris absent)
to recommend to the City Commission deny the proposed amendment to Land Development Regulation
Sections 4.4.24(B) and (F), by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the attached Staff Report
and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet the criteria set
forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).
II RECOMMENDED ACTION II
Move to deny the privately initiated Land Development Regulation Text Amendment for the Pineapple
Grove Limited Mixed-Use Project to allow the permitted uses and development standards of the CBD to
apply to Lots 5 and 6 by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the attached Staff Report and
finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet the criteria set forth
in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).

DISTRICT (CBD) TO APPL Y TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF

DELRAY SUBDIVISION.
I~¡~'(-:!;': ." .1.." I. I T E M 'B E FOR E THE BOARD .~
.. - .--- The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding a privately initiated text amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LOR)
Sections 4.4.24(B) & (F). The applicant proposes to amend the Old School Square Historic
Arts District (OSSHAD) by allowing the permitted uses and development standards in the
Central Business District (CBD) [LOR Section 4.4.13] to apply to the southern portion of Lot 5
and all of Lot 6, Block 75 of the Town of Delray subdivision. These lots are located on the
east side of NE 1st Avenue, approximately 163' north of NE 1st Street.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6(A), an amendment to the Land Development Regulations may not
be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
, BACKGROUND I DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
.- _..-- -
An application for conditional use and site plan approval has been submitted for Lots 5
through 8 and 13 through 16, Block 75 of the Town of Delray subdivision. Lots 13 through 16
are zoned CBD and Lots 5 through 8 are zoned OSSHAD. Lots 5 and 6 contain an existing
two-story 6-unit multiple family structure and a duplex (8 total dwelling units). The duplex
was constructed in 1950 and the 6-unit structure was constructed in 1972. The existing
density for these two lots is approximately 22 dwelling units per acre. Lots 7 and 8, which
were the former site of Neal's Market and Jo's Back Room are currently vacant. The
buildings, constructed in 1925, 1954, and 1960, were all demolished in 2001. Lots 13 through
16 contain an auto parts business in a 4,854 square foot building, constructed in 1985 and an
8,556 square foot retail building, constructed in 1965.
In 1990, with the citywide rezonings, the OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District)
zoning district was created and applied to properties located within the historic district,
including lots 5 through 8. Lots 5 and 6 were rezoned from RO (Residential Office) to
OSSHAD. Lots 7 and 8 were rezoned from GC (General Commercial) to OSSHAD. The
OSSHAD zoning was, and continues to be, a district that promotes the restoration and reuse
of existing structures and provides for mixed uses of residential, office, and commercial
activities. Permitted uses in the district include: single family and duplex dwellings, offices,
retail shops, restaurants, arts related businesses, training and vocational schools, libraries
Planning and Zoning Board .... . f Report

and museums, barber and beauty shops, and bed and breakfast inns. Allowed as conditional
uses are multi-family dwellings in a mixed-use structure, outdoor dining, various types of
residential care facilities (i.e. Adult Congregate Living Facilities, alcohol and drug abuse
treatment facilities, nursing homes), parking lots not associated with a use (i.e. public
parking), and residential inns. Structures within the district are permitted to a height of 35',
and building setbacks are as follows: 25' front, 15' side street, 7.5' interior side, and 10' rear.
There are several lots located within OSSHAD that may be developed in accordance with the
permitted uses and development standards of the CBD. These lots (see attached map),
which include the blocks fronting on Atlantic Avenue on either side of Swinton Avenue
(excluding the Old School Square complex), the Neal Farms Market property (Lots 7-8 of the
proposed project), and the west half of Block 76 across from Old School Square, were so
identified because their existing or potential uses and/or development pattern were more
typical of the CBD than OSSHAD zoning.
The OSSHAD zoning district does not allow "stand alone" multiple family development.
However, pursuant to LOR Section 4.4.24(B)(11), the permitted uses within the CBD zoning
district are allowed on lots 7 and 8 of the proposed development. This includes multiple family
development at a density of up 30 dwelling units per acre. The applicant has submitted a
LDR text amendment to extend these provisions to include Lots 5 and 6 as well. It is noted
that the proposed development will need to comply with the downtown Design Guidelines.
The development proposal consists of a mixed-use project that consists of 51 residential
units; 7,600 square feet of retail floor area; 4,255 square feet of office floor area; and, 2,500
of restaurant floor area. That portion of the development on lots 5 & 6 consists of a 39'-10"
high building that contains parking on the first and second stories and 4 residential units on
the third and fourth stories, which results in a density of 11.32 dwelling units per acre.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(1), amendments to the Land Development Regulations
may be initiated by the City Commission, Planning and Zoning Board or City Administration;
or an individual may request an amendment. The proposed amendment is a privately initiated
text amendment to the Land Development Regulations.
The effect of the proposed amendment would be to add Lots 5 and 6, Block 75, to the list of
properties that can be developed pursuant to the CBD development standards. The proposed
changes would increase the types of permitted uses that could be established and allow for a
wider range of retail, service, and office uses, as well as higher density multi-family
residential development.

. ....,..~1::iE ';. #0' The applicant has submitted the following narrative that describes the justification for the
privately initiated LDR text amendment:
liThe analysis of the amendment and its potential impacts are as follows. Presently, the Land
Development Regulations allow for CBD types of development within certain areas of the
Planning and Zoning Board '- .f Report
LDR Text Amendment - Pineapple Grove Limited
Page 3
OSSHAD District. This amendment adds some additional properties to this already enacted
concept because the classification of the properties is presently inappropriate.
The area that would be added to the other areas which presently allow CBD development is
adjacent to lots 7 and 8 of Block 75. Lots 7 and 8 of Block 75 are under the same ownership
as the lots proposed to be added pursuant to this amendment. This change fits within the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Delray Beach, Florida and are in keeping with good land
planning principles which are to do away with split zoning. Even though the zoning would
remain OSSHAD, the development would be consistent with the CBD regulations. The
amendment would also allow for the redevelopment of an important area that presently
remains underutilized. "
The applicant indicates that the current OSSHAO classification of Lots 5 and 6 is presently
inappropriate. However, the applicant has not provided any position in terms of what ways
the current designation is inappropriate. Consequently, there is no justification that the
OSSHAO regulations imposed on Lots 5 and 6 were established in error. Furthermore, there
have been no changes that demonstrate the need to amend these regulations. As noted in
the background section of this report, the existing multiple family development is non-
conforming with respect to density. Although, if constructed, the applicant's current
development proposal would reduce the nonconformity by reducing the existing residential
density from 22 dwelling units per acre to 11.32 dwelling units per acre, the proposed
amendment would, allow a density of up to 30 dwelling units per acre. This density is
incompatible with the adjacent historically designated area consisting primarily of single
family residences together with single family homes that have been converted to low-intensity
commercial uses.
CaD Development Standards (LDR Section 4.4.24(F):
The applicant revised his original LOR text amendment request to LOR Section 4.4.24(8),
which only dealt with permitted uses, to include an amendment to LOR Section 4.4.24(F).
The proposed amendment to this LOR Section would allow the development standards of the
cao to apply to Lots 5 and 6. The text amendment would allow an increase in building height
from 35' to 48' and up to 60' subject to conditional use approval by the City Commission; a
reduction of the minimum open space requirement from 25% to 0%; and a reduction in the
minimum building setbacks, including the potential for 90% of the building frontage to have a
front setback of 5' instead of the 25' front setback required in the OSSHAO. The restriction
within the OSSHAO zoning district that limits the residential floor to not more 50% of a mixed-
use building would be eliminated. The text amendment would also allow parking within the
front yard, which is not permitted in the OSSHAO district. The parking for a mixed-use
development would need to comply with the cao requirements, which would be greater for
commercial uses and less for multiple family units.
Comprehensive Plan Policies:
A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted
and the following applicable objectives or policies were noted:
----
Planning and Zoning Board '- ..f Report
LDR Text Amendment - Pineapple Grove Limited
Page 4
Future land Use Element Obiective A-1 - Property shall be developed or redeveloped
in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate and complies in terms
of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complimentary to
adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs.
As noted above, the proposed amendment will allow a density of up to 30 dwelling units per
acre and apply the CBD zoning district development regulations to the subject lots. The
adjacent properties to the north and west are zoned OSSHAD and include historically
contributing structures. They are developed with single family homes and single family homes
converted to non-residential uses. The introduction of residential densities permissible in the
CBD District would allow development at an intensity which is inconsistent with the scale of
development envisioned for the OSSHAD District and would not be complementary to
adjacent land uses. While the applicant may argue that the amendment should be applied to
the lots in question given their location adjacent to Lots 7 and 8, it should be noted that those
lots were previously occupied by Neal's Market and that the City allowed the cross-reference
to the uses in the CBD based on that commercial history. Further intrusion of higher intensity
uses into the OSSHAD is not compatible with the character of the historic district and does
not further the preservation of the area with respect to scale and intensity. It is further noted
that the regulations applying the CBD regulations to Lots 7 & 8 were implemented before the
codes allowing a height increase to 60' and an increase in density to 30 units per acre were
envisioned. In hindsight, given these intensifications, it may be more appropriate to consider
further restricting the CBD regulations for Lots 7 & 8.
Future land Use Element Policy A-4.1 - Prior to approval or recommending approval
of any land use or development application for property located within a historic
district or designated as a historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a
finding that the requested action is consistent with the provisions of Section 4.5.1 of
the land Development Regulations relating to historic sites and districts and the
"Delray Beach Design Guidelines".
The proposed amendment will allow an increase of the potential development intensity on the
subject property. As noted in the background section of this report, it was determined at the
time of the establishment of the OSSHAD zoning district that the development pattern of Lots
7 and 8 was more consistent with the CBD zoning district. The existing residential
development of Lots 5 and 6 was, and continues to be, more consistent with the OSSHAD
district. The OSSHAD District was established as a lower intensity mixed use district. To this
end, the City is currently exploring LOR Text Amendments to further limit the intensity
within the OSSHAD district. Therefore, a modification to the LOR's of this type should not be
considered.
Housina Obiective A-12: To assist residents of the City in maintaining and enhancing
their neighborhood environment, the City shall take steps to ensure that modifications
in and around the neighborhood do not lead to its decline, such as those described in
the following policies.
Housina Policy A-12.3: In evaluating proposals for new development or
redevelopment, the City shall consider the effect that the proposal will have on the
stability of nearby neighborhoods. Factors such as noise, odors, dust, traffic volumes
Planning and Zoning Board '- . f Report
LDR Text Amendment - Pineapple Grove Limited
Page 5
and circulation patterns shall be reviewed in terms of their potential to negatively
impact the safety, habitability and stability of residential areas. If it is determined that
a proposed development will result in a degradation of any neighborhood, the project
shall be modified accordingly or denied.
The increase of density within this historically designated area will increase the traffic
volumes. Depending on the specific development proposal, these volumes may negatively
effect existing traffic circulation patterns within the historic district. Further, it will allow
development at densities inconsistent with the desired development pattern of the OSSHAD
district. This desired development pattern is explained in the "Purpose and Intent" section of
the LOR's which calls for encouraging the restoration or preservation of historic structures
and, maintaining and enhancing the historic and pedestrian scale of the area. The uses and
development densities that are currently allowed promote the preservation and adaptive
reuse of all structures within the District. An increase in the intensity of use of the subject
property possible under these changes will have an adverse impact on the stability of this
area and allow development inconsistent with the scale of the remainder of the district.
Pursuant to LOR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), in addition to provisions of 1.1.6(A), the City
Commission must make a finding that the text amendment is consistent and furthers the
goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Given the discussion above
positive findings with respect to this amendment can not be made and the amendment should
be denied.

Historic Preservation Board:
At its meeting of July 15, 2004, the Historic Preservation Board considered the LOR text
amendment to Sections 4.4.24(B) & (F), which allows the CBO permitted uses and
development standards for the subject lots zoned OSSHAD. The Board unanimously
recommended approval of the LOR text amendment to allow the permitted uses and
development standards for the subject parcels.
Community Redevelopment Aaencv:
The CRA considered the text amendments at its meeting of September 9, 2004 and
recommended denial. It is noted that the CRA will reconsider the text amendment at its
meeting of September 28, 2004, since the applicant was unable to attend the September 9th
meeting.
Pineapple Grove Main Street Executive Committee:
At its meeting of September 1, 2004, the Pineapple Grove Main Street Executive Committee
considered the subject LOR text amendments. Due to a lack of a quorum, the Committee did
not take a formal action on the proposal. However, the general sentiment of the members
that did attend was not in support of the proposed changes. The Committee members did not
support the increase in intensity that would result given the increase in height.

. ----. - - As noted in the background section of this report, it was determined at the time of the
establishment of the OSSHAD zoning district that the development pattern of Lots 7 and 8
(Neill's Market) was more consistent with the CSO district. Consequently, the Land
Development Regulations allowed the permitted uses in the CSO district to be included for
these lots. However, it was never envisioned that Lots 5 and 6 should be allowed to have a
greater intensity. These lots have historically been residential in character. The OSSHAO
district is typified as a low intensity mixed use district that allows single family residential,
professional offices, boutiques, etc. The intensity allowed as principal uses in the CSO
zoning district proposed for Lots 5 and 6 is incompatible with the historic district. This LOR
amendment does not meet the required findings of LOR section 2.4.5(M)(5) and therefore
should be denied.

Move a recommendation to the City Commission to deny the request for approval of the
Land Development Regulation Text Amendment for the Pineapple Grove Limited Mixed-Use
Project to allow the permitted uses and development standards of the CSO to apply to Lots 5
and 6 by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the Staff Report and finding that
the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet the criteria set
forth in LOR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).

Re: Amendment to land Development Regulations
Our File No: CARBOO2
Dear Diane:
Pursuantto Section 2.4.5 (M) ofthe Land Development Regulations of Delray Beach,
Florida, this is a formal letter of request to amend LOR Section 4.4.24 (B) (11) along with a
rational for the requested amendment. Enclosed is a check in the amount of one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) payable to the City of Delray Beach for the cost of the text amendment
request. Attached is a draft of the proposed ordinance in which the language to be amended
is underlined.
The analysis ofthe amendment and its potential impacts are as follows. Presently, the
Land Development Regulations allow for CBD types of development within certain areas of
the OSSHAD District. This amendment adds some additional properties to this already
enacted concept because the classification of the properties is presently inappropriate.
The area that would be added to the other areas which presently allow CBD
development is adjacent to lots 7 and 8 of Block 75. Lots 7 and 8 of Block 75 are under the
same ownership as the lots proposed to be added pursuant to this amendment. This change
fits within the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Delray Beach, Florida and are in keeping with
good land planning principles which are to do away with split zoning. Even though the zoning
would remain OSSHAD, the development would be consistent with the CBD regulations. The
-------

amendment would also allow for the redevelopment of an important area that presently
remains underutilized.
Pleas advise me of all respective dates.
