the money goes that the City collects for building permits.
Secondly, Ms. Moody expressed concern over what the City is spending money
on versus the revenue coming into the City. She inquired about the tennis tournaments and asked
if they pay anything to the City, Ms. Moody expressed concern over the money the City spent
on attorneys and consulting firms for Waste Management and asked how the City couldhave
fought Waste Management for so long if there was no money. Ms. Moody stated there were cuts
last year she feels the Commission should have an explanation as to whether or not there is
funding for this year and she does not feel the City should make a lot of tax cuts to make up for
it.
6.B.3. Kevin Rousse, 166 S.E. 2nd Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (ownerof
Kevro's Art Bar), stated the City has allowed developers of the SOFA district to absorb
approximately 50 parking spaces across from his business so there are now 50 less spots. Mr.
Rousse stated the Swale area across the street from Kevro's Art Bar has always been used for
parking and now Police are issuing parking tickets in the evening to anyone who is parked there.
Mr. Rousse urged the City to look into this issue because he supports the growth, but feels the
City needs as many parking spaces as possible. He stated he will email the Commission with his
ideas on how to rectify this issue.
6.B.4. Sharon L'Herrou 830 Kokomo Key Lane Delray Beach FL 33483

behalf of a few property owners in the downtown), stated he was involved in many of this
projects that are now causing some of these parking issues. Mr. Knight stated during some of the
special events they are allowed to use parking lots that do not have the curbing, lighting, paving,
etc. for those special events. Mr. Knight suggested that the City allow some of those parking lots
to be utilized for construction from the hours of 7:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. because it would leave
those parking spaces open and it would be safer for the people walking to utilize the street
parking, etc.
6.13.6. Ken MacNamee, 1049 Del Haven Drive, Delray Beach, FL 334832 read a brief
statement into the record regarding an email trail and Waste Management. Mr. MacNamee
stated the trash contract is about Delray trash customers' money. Mr. MacNamee stated the City
Manager recommended that the City Commission take over the decision making process (a
Special Meeting is scheduled tomorrow). Mr. MacNamee stated Waste Management does not
have a good corporate performance record and noted there is documentation to support this in
city and county records. Mr. MacNamee stated Southern Waste Systems (SWS) has a better
performance record and he urged the City Commission to award the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder Southern Waste Systems (SWS).

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Resolution No. 10-15 is on file in the City Clerk's office.)
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura asked what the process and procedure is when the
City provides in -bind services. She stated the most recent one before this one was the use of a
community center for a prayer breakfast. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated it is not the subject
matter, the event, or the trolley use itself and she is happy that the City included an insurance
requirement so that the City does not take on that liability. However, Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura
stated she would like to know what the process and procedure for people applying for in-kind
City services are so that the City is not just doing this arbitrarily; and, if requests come that
maybe staff does not support, people could say that we are being arbitrary and capricious about
the City's decision to award in-kind services.
The City Manager stated this is being done on a case-by-case basis. He stated
staff can prepare a proposed policy for the Commission to consider procedures that apply with
all in-kind donations. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura explained that her issue is not with the trolley
itself.

9.A. IN -LIEU OF PARKING FEE AGREEMENT/SONOMA GRILL: Consider
approval of a request from Sonoma Grill for the purchase of nine (9) in -lieu parking spaces
located at 640 East Atlantic Avenue at a cost of $23,660.00 each totaling $212,940.00 to be paid
through a Parking Fee Agreement requiring 50% payment upon ratification of the agreement and
two 25% payments on the second year and third year anniversary date of the agreement. (Quasi -
Judicial Hearing)

02/03/15
Mayor Glickstein read the City of Delray Beach Quasi -Judicial rules into the
record.
Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give
testimony on this item.
Mayor Glickstein asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. The Commission had no ex parte communications to disclose.
Randal Krejcarek, Director of Environmental Services, stated this is a request for
in -lieu at 640 East Atlantic Avenue submitted as a Class III Site Plan Modification also known as
the Old Sonoma Grill at the southwest corner of East Atlantic Avenue and S.E. 7th Avenue. Mr.
Krejcarek stated the applicant is proposing to convert 2,215 square feet of retail to restaurant and
establish new restaurant and also establish new restaurant square floor area to 1,163 square feet.
He stated LDR Section 4.413(G)(1) talks about the requirement for parking for nonresidential
and non -restaurant. Mr. Krejcarek stated the LDR Section 4,4.13(0)(1)(D) also talks about if it
is a new established area there will be six (6) spaces per 1,000 square feet, The new restaurant
area which is 1,163 square feet equates to seven (7) spaces. The subject property currently has a
24 space parking lot. The applicant is proposing to re -stripe the existing parking lot which has
24 spaces in it and when they re -stripe it there will be twenty-eight (28) spaces in it. He stated
with that change there would have to be waivers granted for landscaping for internal and
terminal islands. Mr. Krejcarek stated that would be four (4) additional spaces which would be
nine (9) in -lieu spaces. He stated LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3) allows the Commission to approve
the payment of in -lieu when certain requirements are met and staff has found it to be consistent
with those. Mr. Krejcarek stated this location is in Area 1 and the cost per space in Area 1 is
$23,660; a total of nine (9) spaces being requested so the total is $212,940.00. The applicant
requested to enter into an agreement and LDR Section 4.6.9(E)((3)(d) allows for a parking fee
agreement to be entered into and 50% of the $212,940.00 would be due upon signing the
agreement, the next 25% would be due on the second anniversary, and on the third anniversary
the final 25% would be due.
The item has gone before the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB), the
Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
and all Boards recommend approval.
Mike Covelli 2295 N.W. Corporate Boulevard Suite 4213 Boca Raton FL
33431. (applicant), stated when they did the analysis they presented four (4) options; one option
had three (3) in -lieu spaces and another option had seven (7), another one had nine (9), and
another one had thirteen (13). Mr. Covelli stated there is an interior courtyard which equates to
six (6) spaces. He stated there axe photographs in the Code Enforcement records that have tables
in that courtyard. Mr. Covelli stated when they went through the various board hearings they
asked him what he is doing with the courtyard and one of the options was to have no use
allocated to the courtyard which would only require three (3) parking spaces if they build the
four (4) in the parking lot. He commented about an open air foyer on the building right now and
it will be a closed in foyer which is a couple hundred square feet. Mr. Covelli stated it makes
that an interior courtyard but all the boards he went to felt like this would create a Code
Enforcement nightmare if they don't park it now. Mr. Covelli briefly discussed the impacts of
7
02/03/15
this; the kitchen and restrooms take up a very large area so when looking at this retail space and
if they convert that to restaurant the impact is minimized because even though they have to pay
for parking for that restaurant space, it is essentially going to be freezers and refrigerators. In
addition, Mr. Covelli stated the dining area to the proposed dining area there is not much change
in the square footage other than the retail space on Atlantic Avenue becomes a bar and dining
along the windows. The existing parking lot has twenty-four (24) spaces on it and through re -
striping they can add four (4) more spaces and make it twenty-eight (28) spaces including one (1)
additional handicap spot; however, Mr. Covelli stated in order to bring this twenty-eight (28)
space parking lot to Code with the required terminal islands, they would actually lose four (4)
parking space. Mr. Covelli stated this parking lot is wider than it needs to be so they can cut
some access asphalt out and they would take out an old Australian pine hedge and put up-to-date
landscaping in that area. Therefore, Mr. Covelli stated they would be increasing the square
footage of green area on that side and on the building side there is a sidewalk that runs against
the building that they would flip and run against the front of the parking spaces. He stated this
will make the parking lot much more functional and safer and it creates an opportunity for them
to create more green area along the building. Mr. Covelli stated for the update of the existing
parking lot to bring that up to Code, we would need to add 446 square feet of green area. He
stated through this proposal of flipping the sidewalk and cutting the extra asphalt out they end up
with 586 square feet of green area.
Mayor Glickstein stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or
in opposition of the in -lieu parking fee agreement, to come forward at this time.
Arlen Dominek 50 East Road Unit #2-G Delra Beach FL 33483 stated he
is happy to see that Sonoma Grill might be a restaurant again. Mr. Dominek expressed concern
over the innovative method of providing for additional spacing through in -lieu parking fees and
stated he does not know if that in -lieu parking fee is used to create additional parking spaces
within the city. Mr. Dominek expressed concern that he will have to buy a compact car to park
in Delray Beach and stated it would be to the City's advantage to have the in -lieu payment
upfront.
There being no one else from the public who wished to speak on this item, the
public comment was closed.
There was no cross-examination or rebuttal.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura inquired about the increase in the customer service
area between the existing restaurant configuration (taking out the kitchen area or number of
tables) with respect to how much restaurant area there is. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated she
is trying to determine if it is an increase or about the same in terms of the existing customer
service area (dining area and the courtyard). Mr. Covelli stated at this point there is no lease or
restaurant; it has been vacant for a very long time. Deputy Vice Mayor asked if the in -lieu
payments are set up this way under the City's Code and why is the City not receiving the money
upfront. Mr. Krejcaxek stated there are two (2) options in the City's Code; a payment in full
upfront or the payment schedule that he outlined to the Commission. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura
clarified that staff recommends Option #3 for the in -lieu request.
02/03/15
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated there are other restaurants in that strip and asked if
these restaurants are sharing those twenty-eight (28) parking spaces. Mr. Covelli stated as the
building exists today (i.e. retail, the Hurricane, and the restaurant) it is required to have twenty-
four (24) parking spaces and there are twenty-four (24) parking spaces in the lot. He stated by
converting the two (2) small retail spaces and enclosing the foyer that would be conversion space
and the foyer would be considered new space. Mr. Covelli stated the only two uses that will be
using that parking lot will be The Hurricane and the restaurant); there is five (5) on -street parking
spaces on 7th and two in front on Atlantic Avenue also. Vice Mayor Petrolia asked about the
courtyard. Mr. Covelli stated that adds six (6) spaces to the count and if they elected to not do
the courtyard it would be three (3) in -lieu spaces. He stated this is restricted to 930 square feet
which will retain the landscaping within the courtyard and there will be a small seating area.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she appreciates what has been done with the
landscaping. She feels it will be very attractive and it will add some ambience to the building.
Mayor Glickstein stated he would prefer to see the green space where the
applicant is proposing it buffering the buildings (north and south) rather than in a parking island
and he feels the plan makes sense.
The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission who
made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part
of the minutes).
Mr. Frankel moved to adopt the Board Order, seconded by Vice Mayor Petrolia.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Vice Mayor Petrolia —
Yes; Mr. Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Frankel -- Yes; Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura — Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, Mr. Jacquet recognized Triana Kay Bostwick who is a student from
the Criminal Justice Academy.
9.B. BID AWARD/TANNER INDUSTRIES, INC.: Consider approval of a bid
award to Tanner Industries, Inc. (Bid No. 2015-09) the second lowest bidder, at an annual
estimated cost not to exceed $58,000.00 for the purchase of Anhydrous Ammonia for use in the

36.02(A)(1), "Sealed Competitive Method". Funding is available from 441-5122-536-52.21,

Randal Krejcarek, Director of Environmental Services, stated this is a bid award
to the number two bidder (the second lowest bidder) of two bidders for Ammonia Contract. Mr.
Krejcarek stated last November staff received two (2) responses and with those responses both
bidders made adjustments to the City's contract. He stated the City then contacted both bidders
and informed there that they could not adjust the City's contract and use what they have; Tanner
agreed to sign the City's contract; Airgas said "no" because they wanted to make some
additional adjustments to it. Mr. Krejcarek stated staff would like to bid to the #2 bidder Tanner
in this contract and the difference in cost for the year is about $3,000.00 on a $58,000.00
contract.

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held
having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the
Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Dana Little, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated Items 10.A., Ordinance No.
02-15, 10.B., Ordinance No. 03-15, and 10.C., Ordinance No. 04-15 are the ordinances to
implement the new CBD (Central Business District) Land Development Regulations. Mr. Little
stated the City has been working on this with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
(TCRPC) since November 2013. On November 18, 2015, Mr. Little stated staff went to first
reading for the CBD LDR revisions before the City Commission and those recommendations
were approved with direction from City Commission on first reading and scheduled for
December 9, 2014; at the second reading the recommendations were moved to continue to
January 20, 2015 and Ms. Gianniotes from TCRPC was instructed to meet with the Commission
and get more input regarding the incentive and bonus programs. Mr. Little stated the second
reading was scheduled for January 20, 2015; however, was withdrawn considering that one of
the recommendations was the reduction of building height on Atlantic Avenue to a maximum of
three stories between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal waterway. Mr. Little stated after
discussion with the City Attorney's office staff determined that was a substantive enough change
to re -advertise and bring back before the City Commission as a First Public Reading. He stated
the draft before the City Commission is the latest redlined draft dated January 23, 2015 at it
reflects the latest revision since the last public hearing.
Anthea Gianniotes Urban Design Director with Treasure Coast Re ional
Planninm Council, stated there are three (3) ordinances before the Commission but most of the
discussion will be for Ordinance No. 02-15 which is the section of the City's Code that deals
with the CBD (Central Business District) regulations. Ms. Gianniotes stated there is one minor
change to the cross reference ordinance which is 03-15 and there are no changes proposed to 04-
15. She briefly reviewed the changes that have occurred between the last public hearing and
what is before the City Commission tonight.
Mayor Glickstein declared the public hearing open.
Gary Eliopoulos, 314 N.W. 7th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (local
architect), read two quotes into the record of Mayor Glickstein's opinion that was written in The
Palm Beach Post. Mr. Eliopoulos stated Delray Beach has been based on community input and
though when Treasure Coast was hired by the City he thought it would be a Workshop with
dialogue which invites developers, builders, architects, and the citizens and feels that is what
needs to be done here. Mr. Eliopoulos stated with respect to green incentives he feels they should
be an incentive and not a requirement. From an architect's standpoint, Mr. Eliopoulos stated if
the City starts forcing things on buildings the quality construction will take the hit and the long
term residents of these buildings will suffer. Mr. Eliopoulos urged the Commission to take what
we have as qualified people not only with City staff but with TCRPC in doing what we have
always done (i.e. Charrette/Workshop).
Jestena Boughton, owner of the Colony_ Hotel and lives behind the hotel in a
townhouse, thanked Ms. Gianniotes with TCRPC for doing what she asked. Ms. Boughton
12
02/03/15
urged the Commission to support and accept the new LDRs, and to put it them in place tonight.
She stated the Colony Hotel was the first green hotel in town.
Carolyn Riley Patton, 1020 Tamarind Road, Delray Beacb,FL 33483
(property owner in the Marina Historic District and as President of the Marina Historic
District Homeowners' Association and speaking on behalf of the Marina Historic District),
urged the Commission to pass the new LDRs. Ms. Patton stated she applauds the effort by staff,
the Commission, Mayor Glickstein and the citizens because there have been many meetings and
input. She stated this is one of the most positive moves for the city.
Th-tky Shutt 102 N.E. 12th Street Delray Beach FL 33444 stated she is a
licensed architect, owns two historical homes, has-- been involved with the CBD (Central
Business District) and the Design Guidelines, was the first_ Urban Planner with the CRA
(Community Redevelopment Agency), 15 years co -division implementing, writine, and
supporting that and has served on the City's Planning and Zoning Board and the Site Plan
_Review and AppearanceBoard (SPRAB), stated the few things that could be problematic
which may be the best language for the new LDRs but asked if it has been tested out by the
professionals that actually do that. Ms. Shutt encouraged the Commission that throughout the
process to open that up for the design professionals. In addition, Ms. Shutt suggested that staff
build in a three (3) year revisit time period.
Bonnie Miskel, 14 S.E. 4th Street, Suite #36 Boca Raton, FL 33432
(representing a property owner that will be affected by some of the language that the City
is ad din stated her client owns a significant portion of the block between S.E. 411, and S.E. 5
Avenue on the south side of Atlantic Avenue within the 120 foot range. Ms. Miskel stated her
client believes that the City is treating like properties differently with this language and they will
be detrimentally affected; and, subjecting the City to Bert Harris claims in doing this. She urged
the Commission to treat like properties the same and not add the language that was presented to
them that is contained in Section 4.4.13(1))(1)(a)(1).
Jack Maloney, '239 Palm Trail, Delray Beach, FL 33483 (resident and
business owner), thanked the City Commission for serving the town but he feels as a resident
we are losing our town and are no longer the village -by -the -sea. Mr. Maloney stated he hopes
that the Commission will have the foresight and patience to make prudent decisions with the
growth of this town.
Bart DelsinLw, 1020 Lakeshore Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (resident and
business owner), stated he moved to Delray Beach several years ago because of the community,
the great atmosphere that was presented, and raised his children here. Mr. Delsing stated he
supports economic growth, but he does not want to see this town turn into the Mizner Park of
Delray Beach. He urged the Commission to keep Delray Beach the city that it has always been.
Joe Snider, 1010 N.E. 8th Avenue, Unit #35F Delray Beach, FL _ 33483
(Licensed Architect, Masters in Historic Preservation, currently servine on the Palm Beach
County Zoning Commission, was on the City's first Green Task Force 2008-2009, and
currently a Lreen buildina and LEED sustainability consultant stated in 2006 he had a
13
02/03/15
discussion with former Mayor Perlman about joining the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement.
In his opinion, Mr. Snider stated there has not been a single quantifiable action taken by this
government to do something sustainable and green towards that Mayors Climate Protection
Agreement that was committed to. Mr. Snider stated when he was on the Green Task Force they
recommended incentivizing green buildings and he feels it is time to add the green building
requirement.
Alice Finst 707 PIace Tavant Delray Beach FL 33445 stated it would be
helpful if the City had a chart (i.e. current, future, possibilities) that showed what the ordinance
currently said, if a building were now demolished to what height, dimension, etc. and could it be
rebuilt. Ms. Finst stated if this ordinance that is presented tonight (same space and same building
demolished) what would be the guidelines, requirements, or the information that would tell us
what the new building would look like. Ms. Finst stated we need a parallel to see if this change
is going to be different.
Alexander "Sand_y" Simon, 220 MacFarlane Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33453
(lived in Delray Beach his entire life and his family has been in Delray Beach since 1912• he
has written two books and has liven numerous speech s on Delray Beach and its uni ue
character), thanked the City Commission for what they are proposing and stated it is critical that
Delray Beach maintain its small town culture and its uniqueness that is beyond the dreams of
other cities. Mr. Simon stated the 2 miles of beach were given to the people of Delray Beach by
two residents; Veterans Park was given to the people of Delray Beach in 1924 as a gift; in the
1970's the Commission Iowered the density from 45 units per acre to 15 units per acre east of the
Intracoastal.
Joann Peart, 107 N.W. 9t" Street, Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated some people
feel if Delray Beach gets big enough people will give up their cars; some people will but the
majority will never give up their cars and the residents, snowbirds, and tourists will not. Ms.
Peart commented about the traffic and she feels that this is the new brand for Delray.
Carol Anderson, 1441 East Bexley Park Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33445
(speakine on behalf of S.A.F.E.), thanked the City Commission, City staff, and Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council for a masterful job at promoting sensible growth while preserving the
environment. Ms. Anderson stated if the City does not enact these new rules the City would
have no defense from other people coming in and building on Atlantic Avenue up to 4 -stories
high and huge blocks of buildings like Worthing Place. She stated S.A.F.E. is happy that the
limitations on height to three stories and four stories will cut down on congestion, that the
closing of streets and alleys is prohibited, that street trees must be of shade types rather than
palms; with respect to the provisions for the sidewalk cafes allowing that the sidewalk clear
space must be six feet wide, that there must be no seating next to moving traffic, that the chairs
must be parallel to the sidewalk, and that patrons are not to overflow into the walking area.
Also, S.A.F.E. suggested shower and change facilities which was included in Atlantic Crossing
and is now going to be required for large office projects which will encourage employees to walk
or bike to work and then freshen up for a day in the office.

02/03/15
Jeff Costello Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment A enc
(CRA), 20 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, thanked Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council for all their hard work since this process started in 2013. Mr. Costello stated
the CRA Board has reaffirmed its position that the fifth story option should be retained as
originally proposed in the LDR Amendments in October 2014. He stated the CRA provided the
funding in the amount of $150,000 for the update to the LDRs which were intended to include
the updates to the required performance standards for increases in density and height. However,
the proposed LDRs do not provide that flexibility and could affect the quality design in attracting
new businesses and the diversity of uses including office that creates a sustainable downtown.
Jason Bregman, 227 Lake Terrace Delray Beach FL 33444 small business
owner and resident for 10 ears thanked everyone for going through the process. Mr.
Bregman stated he is hopeful that the Planning Director is working on a mobility program
citywide in terms of bicycle and pedestrian improvements leveraging some way of getting funds
in this city so that there are fewer people in their cars and more people walking and biking to
alleviate the traffic. Mr. Bregman stated he concurs with comments expressed by Joe Snider
with respect to LEED building requirement and those requirements at 50,000 applies to a couple
of other larger cities, but Delray Beach has much smaller lots. He stated 30,000, 35,000, or
40,000 might be a little more appropriate as a threshold. Mr. Bregman stated the proposed
height restriction is to keep the character and the historic buildings.
Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray Beach, FL
33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray Beach and Member of
the Alliances stated you could take this entire city and make it Gold LEED and in his opinion it
still will not change the atmosphere. Dr. Kirson stated he is not going to ride a bicycle versus
driving a car. He stated the rental units that will be going up around the community will only
add to the congestion.
Jinn Knijzht,123 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated a lot of
hard work has gone into the LDRs; however, with respect to office space it states "one space per
500 square foot of net floor area and for business and professional offices greater than 10,000
square feet it is one space per 300; retail and commercial uses — One space per 500 square feet of
gross floor area. He suggested that the City have the same encouragement for office space to
come to the downtown and keep it at one space per 500 square feet through the process. Mr.
Knight stated reports and studies have shown that the parking garages are not utilized during the
day but are utilized at nights and weekends.
There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission
regarding Ordinance No. 02-15, the public hearing was closed.
Anthea Gianniotes Urban Desilzu Director with Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council, stated she was conservative in the requirement because it was moved from an
incentive to a requirement and that is why she was hesitant to make the threshold any lower. Ms.
Gianniotes stated Washington, D.C. may be a large city, however, the fabric of it is 4-5 stories
therefore, with respect to scale it is not that different from a development standard.
15
02/03/15
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura asked whether or not we have worked with the design
professionals, architects, and engineers and held a charrette to see whether these revisions are
feasible. She commented about Mr. Snider's email regarding 50,000 not being feasible and that
is should be more around 20,000-30,000. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura asked if TRCPC has
looked at how many buildings this would potential affect. Ms. Gianniotes stated it is not sites; it
is buildings; Cannery Row and The Meridian would have had to do it; she stated the requirement
is not based on the size of the property, but it is based on the development size. Ms. Gianniotes
stated she recommends 50,000 and feels that most of the development pattern with the larger
projects would be able to absorb that.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated if the City is saying that between Swinton
Avenue and the Intracoastal on Atlantic Avenue is a historic area that we want to preserve. She
stated that she would not support firearms being sold as well and she is not sure why this is being
limited to West Atlantic Avenue. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated other uses that the
Commission discussed that are potentially nuisance uses and is not sure if that got lost in
translation or there maybe wasn't a consensus by the Commission to address this now. Mr. Little
stated staff has lifted the existing uses within these sub -districts and put them directly into the
Code. He stated staff has not received any consensus direction in terms of changing any of the
uses and staff feels strongly that keeping the uses as they are is the appropriate thing to do right
now for this LDR revision but that is not to say that staff cannot come back and revisit uses as
was just done two weeks ago.
Mr. Little stated the rezoning alone of CBD to RC as a sub -district was a big
move and that really did not change anything; there were one or two occasions where there was a
change of use that had to do with noxious storage of chemicals for dry cleaning.
Ms. Gianniotes stated the detailed footnotes about lawn care are directly out of the
West Atlantic Avenue Neighborhood Redevelopment Master Plan that is separate from the
Downtown Master Plan. She stated TCRPC has been meeting with the different community
groups including WARC and it was very important to them that what they crafted so carefully
were reflected in the table.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura asked that at some point they take a consensus vote on
whether or not they want to address the uses in the CBD and if there are changes that the
Commission wants to make to them based upon the historic nature of the downtown.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura made reference to Section 4.4-77 about the mix of
units and stated the language clearly reads that two and three bedroom units are encouraged but
if that is the case why is the greater percentage of the units; studios and one -bedrooms. Ms.
Gianniotes stated where you are building largely multifamily townhouse developments this is
not an irregular quantity; the problems that the City has had have been waivers that have
increased the percentage in other projects. Ms. Gianniotes stated if the percentages need to be
adjusted she suggested that the Commission make this in their motion. Brief discussion between
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura and Commissioner Jacquet followed with respect to limiting the
total. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura made reference to Section 4.4.101-102 what is the average
structure size in the developments that are being looked at in the CBD. Ms. Gianniotes stated as
16
02/03/15
a way to distinguish between different types of green spaces that are common in cities it is part
of the palette. Ms. Giam-dotes stated the other issue with open space was that open space was
generally crafted as a base requirement to form that requirement and was also intended to be
doubled as part of the incentive program but has now over time become more conservative.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura asked if all these architectural changes (i.e, setback, open space,
green building) have been modeled and tested by Treasure Coast. Ms. Gianniotes stated these
architectural changes have been modeled and tested by TCRPC and they hired consultants and
professionals to make sure that they were feasible, however, this was not open to a public
charrette. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated the City currently has a community garden
ordinance which prohibits community gardens in the CBD and she feels it needs to be
concurrently with the other cleanup ordinances. Deputy Vice Mayor Jaxjura suggested that staff
work on a revised community garden ordinance for the next City Commission meeting. Mr.
Little stated the community garden ordinance clearly defines the districts where it is allowed and
is prohibited by omission in the current Code; however, with this revision it is provided as an
option in the CBD as an accessory use. The City Attorney stated these would be minor
clarifications so that community garden is a legitimate use in a commercial area. Deputy Vice
Mayor Jarjura stated with respect to Mr. Knight's concern about the parking for encouraging
business and professional office use (net floor area vs. gross floor area) used for restaurants,
retail, and commercial uses. Ms. Gianniotes stated TCRPC's original recommendation was for a
lower standard for office in particular because the garages are empty during the day and was all
business and professional office at 1 per 500. However, based on the concerns expressed at the
public meetings, Ms. Gianniotes stated TCRPC went back to the Kimley-Horn study as well and
they called out trying to lessen the requirement for the smaller office. Ms. Gianniotes stated
TCRPC is trying to encourage and maintain for the smaller offices. Deputy Vice Mayor stated
the rationale behind the three-story limitation on Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and
the Intracoastal.
The City Attorney briefly explained the Bert Harris Act.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura commented about all the public meetings (16) and she
appreciates how TCRPC is trying to remedy everyone's desires. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura
stated she likes the green building requirement and hopes that when they have a bonus program
come back for the fifth story or the additional density in certain areas that the City can increase
the green building requirement so that we have enough incentive for people to go for those
things.
Mr. Frankel out of 16 public meetings how many people under the age of 30 did
TCRPC talk to. Ms. Gianniotes stated they do the best they can with outreach and they were
contracted for twenty plus interviews but they did approximately forty; however, she does not
know their ages. Mr. Frankel commented about an article written by former Mayor Jeff Perlman
and his question was "We should ask Treasure Coast what they think of this process and its
outcomes." Ms. Gianniotes stated TCRPC stated she and her colleague Marcela Camblor-
Cutsaimanis that they did not think the City should worry about limiting density and that if the
building was behaving the way that a form -based Code makes it behave, it does not matter if the
density is 30, 35, 40, or 45. Ms. Gianniotes stated TCRPC feels that the problem that has
happened with the projects has been waivers; the initial recommendation of TCRPC was not to
17
02/03/15
limit density. Mr. Little stated he too read the article and thought it was great. Mr. Little stated
in his career he has either participated or run over 100 week long charrettes most of them for
redevelopments for downtowns or neighborhoods, on occasion they have done some for
buildings and Codes. Mr. Little stated what he has learned is that charrettes do not work for
buildings or Codes because when you have a charrette it is about the vision and the higher
altitude items that you are going to be trying to address. He stated this does not work for
architecture and when going through Section 4.4.13(c)(d)(1) it is hard to get to that. Mr. Little
stated this was never intended to supplant or undermine the vision of the Master Plan that had
been created because that is still being implemented. However, Mr. Little stated it was taking all
of the ideas and changes to the LDRs and trying to consolidate and clarify them and make them
more effective. Mr. Little stated he agrees that the next step is to have an update to the Master
Plan, but he does not feel this work is invalid because they did not hold a charrette or the Master
Plan update first. Ms. Gianniotes stated she is very proud of the Downtown Master Plan and it
has served the city well; this is fine tuning what needed to be fine-tuned but it did reveal that
there is a larger conversation that is necessary at this point. Ms. Gianniotes reiterated that this
was meant to fine-tune, update, and check the development that had been improved against the
vision that was established. Mr. Frankel stated even though this bonus program was being
stricken, he is still in favor of that. Mr. Frankel stated Ms. Shutt's three (3) year proposal to
revisit is an excellent idea and if this goes forward he suggested that there be a charrette because
it could have been a little more beneficial for this.
Mr. Jacquet thanked Ms. Gianniotes for all her work and the countless public
meetings and echoed comments expressed by Mr. Frankel regarding the cross-section of the
community. Mr. Jacquet stated the three-year look back period is an excellent point. Mr.
Jacquet stated considering what the CRA is advising and the purpose of the CRA, he asked if the
Commission should give his comments more thought. He stated he has lived in Delray Beach
since 1989 and he feels like a guest in his own town. With regard to the incentive program, Mr.
Jacquet commented about the dwelling units and at the last time this was discussed they spoke
about the workforce housing percentage which was 20% of the bonus amount which means if
someone had twelve (12) units which is required and they wanted to go to thirty (30) all they
would need is 3.6 per unit. Ms. Gianniotes stated there is no base requirement in the CBD for
any district right now. Mr. Jacquet stated there was previous discussion about whether the
percentage would be on the bonus alone or the total amount; 20% of thirty (3 0) is 6; 20% of 18 is
3.6. Mr. Jacquet asked what response was as to why we do not calculate the workforce housing
based on the total amount of units as opposed to just the bonus amount. Ms. Gianniotes stated
when the issue was initially raised the workforce housing was still being contemplated as a
requirement for the incentive program across the entire CBD; it would have applied to projects
that were not in West Atlantic Avenue. Ms. Gianniotes stated at this point the only density
increases are West Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Jacquet asked where Ms. Gianniotes sees West
Atlantic Avenue in the future. Ms. Gianniotes stated there are four stories on Atlantic Avenue
and because she was part of the Master Plan the line between where downtown where West
Atlantic Avenue was really clear because TCRPC were working in the CRA buildings when they
were here; she believes that line continues to disappear which is going to spread value and
hopefully spread some affordability into the core of the city so that mix will happen. Ms.
Gianniotes stated lot sizes in two different capacities; one, the ownership pattern is one of the
larger parcels and the lot size has to do with their ability the glomeration of land, how much you
18
02/03/15
can park and build and in that capacity the existing ownership pattern on Atlantic Avenue,
TCRPC feels conducive to maintain a three-story maximum limit. Ms. Gianniotes stated the
CRA has been in the process of agglomerating property to help spur redevelopment and she
believes everyone is going to start seeing more cohesive projects similar to what they have seen
in other areas off of the Avenue. Ms. Gianniotes stated the West Atlantic neighborhood can
increase their density from twelve (12) to thirty (3 0) units per acre but even in the existing Code
they were not going above forty-eight (48) feet to be consistent with the scale of the
neighborhoods on either side. Mr. racquet stated the nearest parking garage is by the library is
there a serious need with thinking forward with all that there will be on West Atlantic Avenue, to
have parking closer to the eye instead of closer to downtown because the minute people get off I-
95 everyone is going to go straight to the fork in the road (around the library, Dunkin Donuts,
Swinton Avenue). He stated if everyone can park on 12'b, 10', 10th, or 9th and go to the
Courthouse, or Ziree then people would not have to drive to Swinton Avenue and park in the Old
School Square Garage or the library. Mr. Jacquet expressed concern that in the future when none
of the current Commission members are here, and the Commission that will be sitting on the dais
is going to wonder why this present Commission didn't think to put some parking out west
instead of putting all the parking garages east within less than a one mile radius.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated from the public comments that they expressed the
50,000 level mark for the green is something she would like to see lowered a little bit; however,
she can live with it and she also loves the idea of the three-year revisit because the 50,000 might
be too high and it could always be adjusted.
Ms. Gianniotes stated with respect to considering motion: three (3) year review;
whether the 50,000 square feet should be lower, and whether the unit mix should have an
ultimate cap of smaller units.
Mayor Glickstein stated this is not technically a charrette and planning process;
there is sixteen (16) opportunities for peoples input including noticed public meetings and to
categorize this as spur of the moment, closed process, or not ample opportunity for design
professionals to weigh in, is not the case. Mayor Glickstein stated what they are doing is
eliminating the "wedding cake" design and he feels that the design is going to be greatly
enhanced; in particular this, followed up with the architectural piece, is going to be a very
effective program. Mayor Glickstein stated with respect that with respect to "testing by design
professionals" it has been his experience that modeling is helpful, but until you are in the field
working these things through that is what flushes out what needs to be tweaked. He stated the
new LDRs has helped to eliminate the loopholes; he stated in the previous iteration was not so
much loopholes but a complete lack of clarity on both the developer end, the Planning and
Zoning Department, and with the public in terms of managing expectations. With respect to Ms.
Miskel's point regarding the Bert Harris, Mayor Glickstein stated the City's Code is very
consistent about preserving and protecting the cultural and historic aspects of the downtown and
he feels the City Attorney did a great job of concisely addressing the Bert Harris Act. Mayor
Glickstein stated the CRA has every right to weigh into this and there was no "quid pro quo" in
connection with paying for the work and this is where we are going to be. Mayor Glickstein
stated the CRA was asked to contribute because the CRA occupies the entire downtown. Mayor
Glickstein stated the focus needs to be to incentivize office space. Mayor Glickstein read a brief
19
02/03/15
statement into the record regarding Treasure Coast and the Planning Director's thoughts on
going forward. Mayor Glickstein applauded the efforts of everybody involved.
Brief discussion ensued between the Commission, Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council, and staff,
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated she would like clarification as to the actual
number of rental units and she asked that staff respond at the next public meeting. Ms.
Gianniotes stated not every developer chooses to incorporate smaller units; a townhouse product
is automatically a much larger unit that is in the mix as well. Ms. Gianniotes stated it is a
balance between what everyone is building not just what is happening in each building.
Vice Mayor Petrolia moved to approve Ordinance No. 02-15 on First
Reading/First Public Hearing with the modifications, and regardless of what happens that there is
a three (3) year revisit, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Vice Mayor Petrolia —Yes; Mr. Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Frankel —

11. FIRST READINGS:
A. None
12. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS.
12.A. City Manager
The City Manager stated he has sent a breach letter concerning Oceanside Beach
Services (OBS) due to failure to meet certain contract provisions. He stated the City is waiting
on a remedial action on their part and if not, he expects to bring action to the City Commission
concerning that contract.
12.B. City Attorney
None.
12.C. City Commission
12.C.1. Mr. Frankel
Mr. Frankel stated there is a business called Exhilaride and they are renting golf
carts and some people have complained about the process. Mr. Frankel asked about the process
involved in how this business was approved when it has a huge effect on parking and traffic.
The City Manager stated he will obtain more information regarding this.
Mr. Jacquet asked if there are any regulations on golf carts.
The City Attorney stated Code looked at this and felt that it was authorized under
certain sections of the Code and that is why they allowed for it.
Mr. Frankel stated the Commission had previous discussions about safety
concerns with Segways and the Delray downtowner.
The City Attorney stated a pub cycle is a custom made vehicle pedal power which
15 passengers that people can rent but it is an employee driver. The City Attorney stated he is
reviewing this to see whether or not it needs some type of enabling ordinance or other
regulations.
Dana Little, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated staff has had a couple of
inquiries regarding golf cart rentals or neighborhood electrical vehicles. Mr. Little stated these
23
02/03/15
vehicles are actually street legal with horns, turning signals, and license plates. He stated staff
determined that initially it was the Downtowner that wanted to have a business renting these in
downtown. Mr. Little stated staff determined that they were street legal vehicles not recreational
vehicles as like a golf cart. Mr. Little stated staff recommended that they either go the Segway
route which is to do a privately -initiated LDR Amendment which was specific to the routes, or
they could go to the AC (Automotive Commercial) district. Mr. Little stated then the request
from the Downtowner was if they go to the AC district can they then just deliver them downtown
like a concierge service and staff could not support it. Mr. Little stated the business
Commissioner Frankel is describing went to the AC district and they have people pick them up
and drive them away. Therefore, Mr. Little stated they are renting these vehicles out of the AC
district without the concierge deliver service downtown.
Secondly, Mr. Frankel stated he met with Steve Michael yesterday with regard to
the Puppetry Arts Center. Mr. Frankel stated he does not like how it was represented that they
did not want to stay. The City Attorney stated if they do and they need to bring an amendment
back to the City Commission he will do so to reflect whatever that transaction is.
12.C.2. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated she forwarded the City Manager emails for
outstanding issues that his predecessor was working on that she would like Mr. Cooper to work
on. These outstanding issues are as follows: (1) demolition by neglect for historic resources and
whether or not the City could tighten that up so we do not have blighted historic resources, (2)
evening Code violations (i.e. emptying of trash receptacles) in particular Kilwin's, litter, and the
sidewalk cafe issue (i.e. The Office and not having the sidewalk clear along 4th Avenue), (3) in a
recent weekly staff report there was mention about the landlord tenant permits that the fees
exceeded or met budget this year and she asked how staff is collecting that data and tracking
these permits, (4) parking in -lieu fee she asked for a response at the next meeting explaining
where those in -lieu fees goes and whether there is a dedicated fund for parking, (5) Education
Board she requested that whenever there are student appointments that staff expand and reach
out to notifying the Principals of the high schools with Delray Beach students taking precedent to
see if these students would be interested and it would be a way to get the local kids more
involved, (6) Whether or not there is a need for a parking garage west of Swinton Avenue — (#1)
Is there a demand for a parking garage? (92) Can the City afford to build it and maintain it? (93)
Where is the most feasible location?
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated the City has a college internship program. The
City Manager stated the City will look into trying to put a high school internship program
together.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated she concurs with comments expressed by
Commissioner Jacquet that we should be driving traffic away and part of the problem is because
these parking garages are in a concentrated area. Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura stated if there are
dedicated employee parking spots in that parking garage working with the downtown or the
Police Department in getting these employees safely late at night to these more remote parking
garages.
24
02/03/15
Mr. Frankel stated something needs to be done about the taxi cabs taking up all
the parking spots. Mayor Glickstein stated there is a disconnect between where Code
Enforcement stops and law enforcement starts; he stated they have to be given clear direction.
Mayor Glickstein stated the City should be forbidding any taxi cab from occupying a public
parking spot on Atlantic Avenue. The City Manager stated he received some information this
afternoon and staff will be handling this.
12.C.3. Vice Mayor Petrolia
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she asked Mr. Cooper to send her the number of direct
reports and their titles and he sent her a list of nine (9) people who directly report to him. She
stated one of the issues is the city's failure to have succession planning and there appears to be
no one to fill the vacancies that come up available in the departments especially the Department
Head positions. Vice Mayor Petrolia recommended that the City Manager hire two (2) very
aggressive Assistant City Managers who are actually looking for a City Manager position. She
stated this would help to take some of the burden off himself and direct it towards those two
positions (or whomever) in having just a few individuals report directly to the City Manager
including the two (2) Assistant City Managers and a few others that are very important to have to
report directly to him. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she feels this would be extremely helpful for
the City Manager.
Secondly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she received three (3) emails after the last
meeting where the City Commission met. She stated there was an incident that happened at the
meeting from the dais.
The City Manager stated he did hear that there was some kind of loud discussion;
however, he did not personally see anything.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she believes it started from the dais and there was a
question from the audience. For clarification, Vice Mayor Petrolia asked if there is any rule or
law or breaking of any understanding of the Sunshine Law to have whispered conversations
when the City Commission is in a public meeting. Vice Mayor Petrolia asked if it is appropriate
or inappropriate to have a conversation on the dais.
The City Attorney stated there is no legal prohibition of any member of this
Commission approaching him and having a conversation with him. The City Attorney stated in
the last seven (7) months with the city, he believes there has been an occasion where he probably
has had a conversation on the side with each Commissioner from time -to -time. The City
Attorney stated he has also done it in his prior practice and he has done it far more extensively in
his prior practice and for much longer conversations. For clarification, Noel Pfeffer stated in his
role as City Attorney, there is no prohibition to any Commissioner coming and talking to him
other than a common sense of the decorum they need to be quiet on the side. The City Attorney
stated the normal course of conduct on this dais is from time -to -time the Commission has brief
informal exchanges between each other. The City Attorney stated this board does it and every
board he ever observed does that; and, he knows that the City Commission does that
25
02/03/15
understanding the integrity and the basic ground rules of the Sunshine Law. The City Attorney
stated the City Commission stated he is not opposed to those conversations; the City
Commission knows that they cannot privately speak about any matter that may be the subject of
future discussion before the Commission.
12.C.4. Mr. Jacquet
Mr. Jacquet thanked the City Attorney for his explanation and stated since the
Commission was elected they have known that their two staffers are the City Manager and the
City Attorney,
Secondly, Mr. Jacquet stated having people in the audience addressing the
Commissioners when it is not public comment or randomly yelling out comments does not
happen often.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she understands what Commissioner Jacquet is
speaking to; however, she does not appreciate that she is being put in her place here. Vice
Mayor Petrolia stated she is asking this question from the dais; she understands how it works
otherwise but she was not really aware of the fact that whether or not there is a difference on the
dais where the City Commission is in the middle of a public meeting and the Commission is
having private conversations. Vice Mayor Petrolia thanked the City Attorney for his
explanation.
12.C.5. Mayor GIicksteiin
Mayor Glickstein stated he received a complimentary letter from the public
congratulating Suzanne Davis, Parks and Recreation Director. He stated if the City receives
letters where staff members are complimented he requested that these letters be posted on the
board in the lobby.
Secondly, Mayor Glickstein stated with respect to the question that Vice Mayor
Petrolia raised and when Commissioner Frankel asked for a point of order, he does not like it
when anyone member of the public refers to anyone on the dais in a derogatory fashion. With
regard to addressing the City Commission, Mayor Glickstein read the language from the first
page of the Agenda that "All comments must be addressed to the Commission as a body and not
to the individual." Mayor Glickstein stated when someone makes a disparaging remark to any
Commissioner using their individual name, what kind of latitude does he have to stop it right
then and there. The City Attorney stated unfortunately there is a body of first amendment case
law that lets people say things from time -to -time that are inappropriate and offensive. However,
the City Commission does have some discretion, but rather than handle it informally on the dais,
he now has the resources where he can give the Commission some feedback and guidance.
With regard to dogs on the beach, Mayor Glickstein stated he is at the beach 4-5
days a week and during high season there is not a morning or afternoon when he is coming up
from the water well south of the north end where he does not see dog poop in the sand. Mayor
Glickstein stated it is inexcusable that dog owners are not picking up after their dogs and he
26
02/03/15
suggested that the City do something about this (i.e. erect signs on the beach informing people to
pick up after their dogs).
With regard to Mr. Rousse's comment tonight about looking at some overflow
parking areas, Mayor Glickstein stated if the City is closing streets we should be able to open up
unconventional parking areas for temporary relief. He was speaking about the green space
between N.W. 2nd Avenue and the railroad tracks. Mayor Glickstein stated there are other areas
and suggested that Scott Aronson, Parking Facilities Manager look at this to get everyone
through this construction process.
With regard to the parking garage that Commissioner Jacquet and Deputy Vice
Mayor Jarjura discussed, Mayor Glickstein stated this Commission approved the City going
forward on how to utilize public assets in general; one of those is that parking area by the library.
Mayor Glickstein stated there are all kinds of parking possibilities to expanding the parking
capabilities there. Mayor Glickstein stated he had asked for bimonthly updates on what is
happening with parking process.
With respect to directives from the City Commission, Mayor Glickstein stated
while these directives are part of dialogue it is direction for staff. Mayor Glickstein stated there
was a unanimous decision by the Commission about not turning left on N.E. 2nd Avenue three (3)
years ago. Mayor Glickstein stated the directive is "No Left Turns" on N.E. 2nd Avenue. Prior
to Mr. Cooper's arrival, Mayor Glickstein stated the Commission also requested as a public
policy priority to implement the Beach Area Master Plan. He stated the Commission stated
within the economic budgetary confines what can they implement. Mayor Glickstein stated the
City Commission as a body is making a policy decision or instructing staff through the City
Manager to do something and for a variety of reasons it is not happening. Mayor Glickstein
stated another example is Barwick Road. The City Manager stated he received a set of
documents from the City Clerk and has also discussed with staff and they are going to start
clearing those. The City Manager stated he received information this afternoon from Randal
Krejcarek concerning left turns and will begin to start dealing with those types of issues.
Lastly, Mayor Glickstein stated Deputy Vice Mayor Jarjura commented about
requesting Commission consensus to look at uses that the City Commission does not want to see
in the CBD (Central Business District). Dana Little, Director of Planning and Zoning suggested
that the Commission start with compiling a defined list of those uses that the Commission does
not want to see in the CBD and stated there will be a legal component to this which is significant.
Mayor Glickstein requested that staff also get input from the DDA as to what uses we do not
want in our downtown.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 9:54 p.m.
