SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # \01\ - REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 16,2005
ORDINANCE NO. 53-05
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2005
This ordinance is before Commission for second reading and a quasijudicial hearing for a rezoning from CBD
(Central Business District) to CF (Community Facilities) for a 0.78 acre parcel of land for Delray
Community Missionary Baptist Church, located on the north and south sides of S.W. 151 Street, west of S.W.
5th Avenue.
Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church currendy occupies the building, located at 94 S.W. 5th Avenue
(northwest comer of S.W. 151 Street and S.W. 5th A venue). In 1989, the church acquired Lot 9 and 10, Block
22 (southwest comer of S.W. 151 Street and S.W. 5th Avenue). An additional parcel (north of the existing
church) was purchased in 1997. These parcels are currendy vacant.
The subject property has been rezoned several times beginning in 1990 with the City-wide rezonings, from
RM-6 (Multiple Family Residential-6 du/ac) to RM (Medium Density Residential). On December 5, 1995,
in conjunction with the approval of the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, the Commission passed
Ordinance No. 75-95 which rezoned the subject parcels located on the north side of S.W. 1st Street from
RM to GC (General Commercial). On January 6, 2005, the Commission approved a change in the zone
district from RM to GC for Lots 9 and 10, Block 22, pursuant to the adopted Southwest Area
Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. On October 19, 2004, in conjunction with the adopted Delray Beach
Downtown Master Plan, the Commission approved Ordinance No. 31-04 which rezoned the subject site
from GC to CBD.
The church is proposing to renovate the existing building to accommodate a meeting/fellowship hall and
the construction of a 3,500 sq. ft. sanctuary with classrooms and associated parking on the vacant parcels
located at the southwest comer of S.W. 1st Street and S.W. 5th Avenue. As the CBD zone district does not
allow churches or places of worship, a rezoning application has been submitted by the church to change the
zoning designation of the entire church's holdings from CBD to CF.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing at its meeting of July 18, 2005. There was no public
testimony regarding the proposed changes. After reviewing the staff report and discussing the proposal, the
Board voted 6-0 to recommend to the City Commission approval of the rezoning, by adopting the findings
of fact and law contained in the staff report and finding that the request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), Section 3.2.2
(Standards for Rezoning Actions), and Section 2.4.5 (D) (5) (Rezoning Findings).
At the first reading on August 2, 2005, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 53-05.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 53-05 on second and final reading.

I ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD I
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
on a rezoning from CBD (Central Business District) to CF (Community Facilities) for
Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church.
The subject property is located at on the north and south sides of SW 1st Street, west of
SW 5th Avenue and contains 0.78 acres
I "'i 1·.' "- B"A"c:i<-'G R 0 lfN'D I P:R o·J·e·"C T;"C E S"C"R"I PT" 0 N ,
The proposal incorporates the following:
Lots 9 & 10 Subdivision of the North half of Block 22 Town of Linton (now Delray)
according to the Plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 10 Page 38 of the Public
Records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Together with a parcel described as:
Commencing at the Southeast corner of Block 21 for a point of beginning; thence
westerly a distance of 135 feet; thence northerly 100 feet; thence easterly a distance
of 135 feet; thence southerly a distance of 100 feet to the point of beginning, being in
the Town of Delray Beach, formerly Linton, according to the Plat now on file in the
Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida
recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 3
Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church currently occupies the building within
Block 21, located at 94 SW 5th Avenue (northwest corner of SW 1st Street and SW 5th
Avenue). The structure was constructed in 1960 and was originally utilized as retail
store. An apartment addition was constructed in 1968 to the rear of the structure. From
file correspondence it appears that the building was converted and utilized as a church
facility since the early 1980's.
In 1989, the church acquired Lot 9 and 10, Block 22 (southwest corner SW 1st Street and
SW 5th Avenue). An additional parcel (north of the existing church) was purchased in
1997. These parcels are currently vacant.
Recent land use history includes several zoning changes to the subject property. In
1990 with the City-wide rezonings, the subject parcels were rezoned from RM-6 (Multiple
Family Residential-6 du/ac) to RM (Medium Density Residential). In conjunction with
the approval of the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan on December 5, 1995,
the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 75-95 which rezoned the subject parcels
located on the north side of SW 1st Street from RM (Medium Density Residential) to GC
(General Commercial). On January 6, 2004, the City Commission approved a change in
the zone district from RM (Medium Density Residential) to GC (General Commercial) for
Lots 9 and 10 Block 22.
In conjunction with the adopted Delray Beach Downtown Master Plan, the City
Commission on October 19, 2004, approved Ordinance No. 31-04 which rezoned the
subject site from GC (General Commercial) to CBO (Central Business District). In 1997,
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church
Page 2
a Class I site plan modification was approved to allow the installation of a sidewalk and
concrete drive to the property.
The church is proposing to renovate the existing building to accommodate a
meeting/fellowship hall and the construction of a 3,500 sq. ft. sanctuary with classrooms
and associated parking on the vacant parcels located at the southwest corner of SW 1 st
Street and SW 5th Avenue. As the CBD zone district does not allow churches or places
of worship a rezoning application has been submitted by the Church to change the
zoning designation of the entire church's holdings from CBD (Central Business District)
to CF (Community Facilities) and is now before the Board for action.
I· <. . ';' .... ,..... I. ~ 4·.....~~ ANALYSIS I
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
LDR (Chapter 3) PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1, prior to approval of development applications,
certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This
may be achieved through information on the application, written materials
submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made
by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development
application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency,
Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations.
o Future Land Use Map - The resulting use of land or structures must be allowed
in the zoning district within which the land is situated and said zoning must be
consistent with the applicable land use designation as shown on the Future
Land Use Map.
The subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of (CC). Pursuant to
LDR Section 4.4.21, the CF (Community Facilities) zoning district is a special
purpose zoning district primarily, but not exclusively, intended for locations at which
facilities are provided to serve public, semi-public and private purposes. Pursuant to
LOR Section 4.4.21 (B)(5) within the CF zoning district religious uses such as
churches and places of worship and attendant uses of day care, pre-school,
educational facilities, and with other normal educational (Sunday school) and
recreational facilities, and support facilities (e.g. parsonage) are principal (permitted)
uses. The proposed CF (Community Facilities) zoning designation is deemed
consistent with all Future Land Use Map designations. Thus, based upon the above,
a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use
Map designation.
o Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use
designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered with
respect to the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church
Page 3
of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. It is noted that uses allowed
under the CF zoning designation characteristically have less impact on concurrency
than the uses allowed within the CBD designation.
Drainaqe: With rezoning request drainage plans are not required. With
redevelopment of the site, drainage plans will be submitted; however there are no
problems anticipated in retaining drainage on site and obtaining any/all necessary
permits.
Traffic:
A traffic statement has been submitted indicating that the proposed church facility
will generate 129 average daily trips (41 peak hour trips). A peak hour distribution of
the weekday trips has been submitted representing an additional 3 trips during the
P.M. and A.M. peak hours.
Parks and Recreation: Non-residential uses are not considered to have an impact on
the City's Parks and Recreation facilities.
Solid Waste:
Based upon the Solid Waste Authority's typical waste generation rates, the indicated
church development would generate 2.8 tons of waste annually. The Solid Waste
Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to handle all
development proposals till the year 2021.
Schools: School concurrency findings do not apply for non-residential uses. Thus,
the proposed development will not have an impact with respect to this level of
service standard.
o Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehénsive Plan.
Future Land Use Element Objective A-1: Property shall be developed or
redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate in
terms of soil, topographic and other applicable physical considerations; is
complimentary to adjacent land uses; and fulfills remaining land use needs.
There are no significant environmental characteristics to the subject property. The
future redevelopment of the property based upon the proposed zoning can be
compatible with the adjacent land uses, which consist of retail establishment (florist)
to the north, retail use (under construction) and multiple-family residential to the east;
and single family residences to the west and south.
The most significant potential for impact resulting from a church use normally relates
to traffic impact on the adjacent neighborhood and the ability to accommodate
parking on-site without spillage onto adjacent roadways and into the neighborhood.
There are no improved parking areas with the existing facility. This situation will be
improved with the construction of a new facility and the attendant paved parking
areas.
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church

Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.7: The following pertains to the Southwest
Neighborhood Redevelopment Area:
This area is generally defined as the area bounded by West Atlantic Avenue on
the north, SW 10th Street on the south, Interstate-95 on the west, and Swinton
Avenue on the east.
Many of the parcels in the area contain vacant or dilapidated structures,
substandard parking and substandard landscaping. The area also contains
residential areas identified as "Rehabilitation" on the Residential
Neighborhood Categorization Map contained in the Housing Element.
The Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the
City Commission at its meeting of June 3, 2003. The Plan establishes a
blueprint for the revitalization and stabilization of the area. The Southwest
Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is divided into five sub-areas based
upon current and proposed land uses. The sub-areas serve to define potential
boundaries for the phased implementation of the various plan components.
Future development in the area must be in accordance with the provisions of
the Redevelopment Plan.
The subject property is located within the borders of the Southwest Area
Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan and is more specifically included within sub-area
#5. Sub-area #5 is identified as "infill area" consisting of relatively stable residential
neighborhoods that are experiencing some deterioration, but do not require
substantial redevelopment to achieve community livability goals.
While the narrative for sub-area #5 does not address the establishment of new
churches, the Redevelopment Plan does note increased faith based community
involvement as an essential ingredient to improve livability. Based upon the above, a
positive finding can be made with respect to Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.7,
as increased faith based community involvement is identified as an essential element
to improve the livability of the community and fulfill the goals and objectives of the
Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan.
Future Land Use Element Policy C-4.2: The "Downtown Delray Beach Master
Plan" was adopted by the City Commission on March 19, 2002. Covering the
downtown business districts surrounding the Atlantic Avenue corridor
between 1-95 and A-i-A, it røpresents the citizens' vision for the growth and
unification of Delray Beach, while still retaining the "village like, community
by-the-sea" character of the CBD. The Plan addresses a wide range of issues
including infill development, neighborhood parks, shared parking, public art,
the roadway and alleyway systems, marketing/economic development, and the
need to modify the Land Development Regulations to include design
guidelines to retain the character of Delray Beach. Future development and
redevelopment in this area shall be consistent with the Master Plan.
The subject property is located within the borders of the downtown as defined by the
Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan and is more specifically located within the
West Atlantic Neighborhood. The Master Plan does not specifically address the
subject property with regard to a specific development proposal and the parcels are
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church
Page 5
noted as vacant parcels which are identified for in-fill opportunities to increase the
housing stock in the area. The subject parcels have been under the ownership of
the church since 1981 (existing church) and more recently additional parcels were
purchased in 1989 (south parcels) and 1997 (northernmost parcel). Give the above
the development of these parcels in this manner are not inconsistent with the Future
Land Use Element Policy C-4.2, nor the goals and objectives of the Downtown
Delray Beach Master Plan.
Housina Element Policv 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 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 proposed church is located in an established residential neighborhood. The
most significant potential for impact resulting from a church use normally relates to
traffic impact on the adjacent neighborhood and the ability to accommodate parking
on-site without spillage onto adjacent roadways and into the neighborhood. With the
development of the new facility, parking will have to be accommodated within
improved parking areas thus improving the current parking situation, since there are
no parking spaces assigned for the existing facility. During the development review
for the new sanctuary, it will be conditioned that the existing building be retained as a
support facility only such as a fellowship hall and not an additional sanctuary without
adequate parking.
o Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
Compatibility is discussed below under the Standards for Rezoning.
o Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Future redevelopment of the parcels of land can occur in accordance with the City's
Land Development Regulations. During the site plan review process the
development proposal will be reviewed for compliance with the LDR. At this time no
issues have been identified which would prohibit compliance with the requirements of
the CF zoning district. Given the above, a positive finding with respect to compliance
with the Land Development Regulations can be assumed.

STANDARDS FOR REZONING ACTIONS:
Compliance with the peñormance standards set forth in LDR Section 3.2.2, along
with the required findings noted in LDR Section 2.4.5(D) (5) shall be the basis
upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church

policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in making a
finding of overall consistency.
LDR Section 3.2.2: Standards A, B, C and E are not applicable. The applicable
performance standard of LDR Section 3.2.2 is as follows:
(D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed
compatible with adjacent and nearby land use both existing and
proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient
regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new
use.
The following zoning designations and uses border the property:
Zoninq Desiqnation: Use:
North: Central Business District (CBD) Retail
South: Central Business District (CBD) Single Family Residences
East: Central Business District (CBD) Retail (under construction) and
Multiple Family residences
West: Medium Density Residential (RM) Single Family residences
The proposal will rezone the 0.78 acre subject property from CBD to CF. The property is
bordered on the north, south and east by properties zoned CBD and will not result in an
incompatibility as the CF zoning district is of less intensity than the CBD district. To the
west is zoned RM and compatibility can be enhanced through specific regulations which
apply to the CF zoning district which, requires increased landscape perimeter buffer
treatment.
There are no compatibility concerns with regard to the CF zoned parcels, as CF zoning
is deemed to be compatible with all other zoning districts. Based upon the above, a
positive finding can be made with regard to LDR Section 3.2.2(D), that the proposed
rezoning will not result in adjacent incompatible land uses.
LDR Section 2.4.5(D) (5): In addition to provisions of Chapter Three, the City
Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for
which the rezoning is being sought. These reasons include the following:
A. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established,
in error;
B. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current
zoning inappropriate; or
C. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future
Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon
circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood.
The applicant has submitted the following statement indicating the reasons for which the
rezoning is being sought based on "C" above:
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CBD to CF for Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church
Page 7
"The existing church at 94 SW 5th A venue wants to make use of their property which
they have owned for many years by expanding their current facility. This includes
building a new sanctuary on Lots 9 and 10 Block 22." In addition the applicant has
further indicated that they had no record of the rezoning to CBD and the church has
owned the property for many years"
The basis for which the rezoning should be granted relates to "c" in that the use of the
property for a church is more appropriate given that it has been under the ownership of
the church for many years. The proposed zoning will allow the renovation of the existing
facility and the provision of a new sanctuary which will eliminate the parking deficiencies
which currently exists. Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to LDR
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) can be made.

The proposed rezoning from CBD (Central Business District) to CF (Community
Facilities) designation is supportable given the land use history on these parcels and the
proposed CF zoning will allow for the renovation of the existing facility and construction
of a new facility which will address the current parking deficiencies. Positive findings
can be made with respect to LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), LDR Section 3.2.2
(Standards for Rezoning Actions), LDR Section 2.4.5(0)(5) (Rezoning Findings), and the
