v.c.
The action before the Board is making a recommendation to the City
Commission on a rezoning request from Community Facilities (CF) and
Rural Residential (RR) to Medium Density Residential- 7 du/ac (RM-7).
The subject property is located west of Davis Road, South of Delray
Shores subdivision, approximately 1,456 feet north of Atlantic Avenue and
contains approximately 44.938 acres.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review
and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to
rezoning of any property within the City.
The proposal is to rezone the 44.938 acre parcel from CF (Community Facilities) and
RR (Rural Residential) to RM-7 (Medium Density Residential - 7 du/ac).
In December of 1986, Palm Beach County School Board acquired the CF zoned portion
of the property for a contemplated middle school to replace Carver Middle School. After
the acquisition of the property, the school district and the City evaluated the actual
development potential of the property. It was determined that the access to the site
from the north, through Delray Shores and from the east, Davis Road was
unacceptable. In addition, the site was not well located to meet school district desires
relative to a middle school. Thus, the school district began searching for an alternative
site and eventually constructed Carver Middle School at the northeast corner of Barwick
Road and Atlantic Avenue.
At its meeting of November 8, 1988, the City Commission approved the annexation of
the RR zoned parcel via Ordinance No. 126-88 with an initial zoning of ART
(Agricultural Residential Transitional).
The subject properties were zoned R-l-AA (Single Family Residential) and ART
(Agricultural Residential Transitional) until they were rezoned to CF (Community
Facilities) and RR (Rural Residential) with the Citywide rezoning associated with the
approval of the Land Development Regulations in 1990.
The development proposal is to rezone the subject property from Rural Residential
(RR) and Community Facilities (CF) to Medium Density Residential - 7 du/ac (RM-7).
The rezoning would accommodate a proposed residential development known as Coral
Trace containing 112 duplex units and 172 townhouse units (quadraplexes) for a total
of 284 units, and density of 6.32 units per acre. The proposed development will also
P & Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Shed Property
Page 2
incorporate 13.72 acres of open space which includes 2.81 acres of tree preservation
areas, two lakes, two tennis courts, community pool, spa, cabana, tot lot, community
center, and picnic areas. Access to the site will be provided from Atlantic Avenue by a
street which will contain a 60' right-of-way including a landscape median and pedestrian
access on one side of the road.
REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3)
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the 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, 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 following four areas.
Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning
district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation.
The current Future Land Use designation for the subject property is Medium
Density Residential 5-12 du/ac and is currently zoned CF and RR. The rezoning
to RM-7 (Medium Density Residential -7 du/ac) is consistent with the Medium
Density Residential Future Land Use Map designation. The proposed multiple
family development (duplexes and quadraplexes) is allowed as a permitted use
in the RM zone district. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made
with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map.
Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be
provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service
established within the Comprehensive Plan.
Water and Sewer:
The current zoning can accommodate a school and two residential homes. The change
to a multiple family development will result in an increase in water and sewage flows.
The projected water and sewer flows under the current zoning is 14,141 gallons per
day, whereas the flows for a maximum potential of 314 units (44.938 acres x 7 du= 314
units) is 68,700 gallons per day. Water service is to be provided via installation of an 8"
main within the access tract with connections to an existing 18" water main along the
south side of the Sudan Subdivision, a 10" water main within Davis Road, and a 6"
main within Bishop and Ambrose Drives, within the Sudan Subdivision. Sewer service
will be provided via gravity flow to a lift station within the Sudan subdivision and
construction of a new lift station which will connect to an existing 8" force main.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Shed Property
Page 3
The Comprehensive Plan states that adequate water and sewer treatment capacity
exists to meet the adopted LOS at the City's build-out population based on the current
FLUM. At the time of approval of the Comprehensive Plan, a medium density
development was anticipated for this property and was factored into the plan. Thus, a
positive finding with respect to this level of service standard can be made.
Drainage:
As the property is currently vacant, there are no problems anticipated with the ability of
future development retaining drainage on-site within the proposed two lakes and
complying with South Florida Water Management district Standards.
Streets and Traffic:
The applicant has submitted a traffic study for the proposed rezoning. The current CF
zoning designation was to accommodate a school with 1,280 students and 95 teachers.
Pursuant to the ITE Manual - Land Use Code 520, the average rate per student is 1.09
Average Daily Trips (ADT) and 3.42 ADT per teacher for a potential of 1,719 ADT.
Traffic generated by the proposed 284 unit multiple family development will generate
1,988 ADT. Thus, there will be a slight increase in average daily trips under the
proposed zoning.
It is noted that pursuant to the traffic study, a median cut is warranted at the intersection
of Atlantic Avenue and the proposed main entrance road, along with a right turn lane
west bound Atlantic Avenue. This will require elimination of the median cut at Atlantic
Avenue and NW 24th Avenue (Breezy Ridge Estates). This item will be further
reviewed at the time of site and development plan review.
Parks and Open Space:
The Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan Parks and Recreation Element indicates that
the City meets the adopted level of service for parks and recreation facilities for the
ultimate build-out population of the City. As a residential development with a maximum
potential of 12 units per acre or 539 units was anticipated for the subject property in the
Comprehensive Plan under the Medium Density Residential Future Land Use Map
designation, and the maximum units allowed under the proposed RM-7 zoning is 314
units, a reduction in impact on this level of service will be realized. It is noted that a
$500.00 park impact fee is required for each dwelling unit that will be collected prior to
issuance of a building permit.
Solid Waste:
Under the current zoning the school would generate 264.5 tons of solid waste per year,
where as a potential 314 unit multiple family development would generate 624.86 tons
of solid waste per year. The Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the
established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments
which have been accounted for in their Comprehensive Plan. As a multiple family
P & Z Board Staff RepOrt
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Sned Property
Page 4
development with a potential of up to 539 units was anticipated for this property in the
Comprehensive Plan and only 314 units will be allowed under the proposed RM-7
zoning, a positive impact on this level of service standard will be realized.
Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section
3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section
2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall
consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted
Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall
consistency.
A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was
conducted and the following was found:
Conservation Element Policy B-2.1: - Submission of a biological survey and a
habitat analysis shall accompany land use requests for rezonings. However this
requirement shall not apply where it is that there are not such resources.
Conservation Element Policy B-2.2: Whenever and wherever significant or
sensitive flora and fauna communities are identified pursuant to Policy B-2.1,
they shall be preserved as if they were environmentally sensitive areas as
identified in Objective B-I.
A biological survey has been submitted indicating that there is some protected plant
and animal species on the site. A field visit revealed the location of seven gopher
tortoise burrows in the northeastern portion of the site. The survey has been transmitted
to the Department of Environmental Protection for review, however, a response has not
yet been received. Mitigation measures may need to be taken to retain the burrows on
site or the tortoises must be relocated in compliance with DEP standards. This item will
be further reviewed at the time of site and development plan review
Housing Element Policy C-2.4: Development of remaining vacant properties
which are zoned for residential purposes shall be developed in a manner which is
consistent with adjacent development regardless of zoning designations. These
policies shall be implemented through the review process associated with
platting and site plan and shall be effective immediately.
This policy will be further reviewed at the time of site and development plan review.
However, it is noted that the adjacent residential development to the south (the Tate
property) is currently vacant and has a land use map designation of Medium Density
Residential with a maximum density of 12 units per acre; to the west is High Point with
a density of 8.0 units per acre; to the east The Sudan subdivision with a density of
approximately 3 units per acre and RR zoning with .33 units per acre; and to the north
Delray Shores subdivision with a density of 3 units per acre. The following are the
densities of the surrounding residential developments within a 2,000 foot radius of the
subject property:
P & Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Sned Property
Page 5
Subdivision Units/Acre
Club Delray 8.0 units per acre
Delray Shores 3.0 units per acre
High Point 8.0 units per acre
Homewood Lakes 6.0 units per acre
Sherwood Forest 2.0 units per acre
The Sudan 3.0 units per acre
Development of the property should be reasonably consistent with the character of the
surrounding residential developments. The current development potential of the
property under the Medium Density Land Use designation could allow a maximum of 12
units per acre or 539 units. Under the proposed zoning of RM-7, the maximum density
of 314 units would be allowed, and the request is for the development of 284 units with
a density of 6.32 units per acre. Development at this density is generally Iow-rise,
owner occupied product, which is compatible with adjacent development. Based on the
above, a positive finding to this policy can be made.
Land Use Element Ob_iective A-l: Vacant property shall be developed in a
manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate in terms of soil,
topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complementary to
adjacent uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs.
As stated under Housing Element Policy C-2.4, the property should be developed in a
manner that will be complementary to the adjacent residential developments. The
development of this property will fulfill the need for medium density residential
development and lower density dwellings. The tortoise burrows may be negatively
impacted by the development of the site. However as the property consists of almost
45 acres, and is primarily vacant, mitigation measures including possible relocation can
be easily accommodated to avoid negatively impacting the burrows.
Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezonincj Actions): Standard B and C is not
applicable with respect to this rezoning request. The applicable performance
standards of Section 3.3.2 are as follows:
A) That a rezoning to other than CF within a stable residential area shall be
denied.
The property is designated as vacant residential on the Neighborhood
Categorization Map. However, the properties to the west are noted as stable
residential and to the north in need of stabilization. The change in the original
zoning from residential (R-1AA) to CF was to accommodate a proposed school.
As the school has been built elsewhere, it would be appropriate to change the
zoning back to residential. This would also preclude a more intense use that
could be allowed to be built under the CF zone district such as a governmental
facility.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Sned Property
Page 6
D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed
compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses 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 proposed zoning of RM-7 is probably more compatible with the adjacent and
nearby land uses which consist of residential neighborhoods than the CF zoning
which would have allowed a public school. The rezoning will eliminate the
potential impact of school bus and playground noise on the adjacent residential
subdivisions. Compatibility of the specific development proposal with the
adjacent developments will be appropriately addressed with review of a site and
development plan request.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section
3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of
the reasons for which the rezoning change 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;
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 a justification statement which states the following:
"B. As per Mr. Sned, Palm Beach County School Board originally was to build
on this site but decided to build their Middle School elsewhere and sold the
property to him.
C. The Future Land Use Plan designates the proposed site as Medium Density
(5-12 units/ac) which is compatible more with the area than current zoning. Our
plat and master plan will demonstrate 6.32 units/acre which is at the Iow end of
the allowable density and better compliments the surrounding uses."
Comment: The justification statement addresses Items "b" and "c" as the basis for
which the rezoning should be granted. It is appropriate to make a finding that since the
school has been built elsewhere, the current CF zoning is no longer appropriate. The
RR zoning was given to the property to the south upon its annexation based on the
existing use of the property as landscape nurseries. As the underlying land use
P & Z Board staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Sned Property
Page 7
designation of the property was Medium Density Residential, it was anticipated that the
rezoning of the these properties would occur to accommodate a residential
development.
Compliance with Land Development Regulations:
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be
addressed by the body taking final action on a land development
application/request.
Site and Development plans have been concurrently submitted and the following items
of concern have been noted:
LDR Section 4.3.4 Development Standard Matrix:
With the Site and Development Plan, the following Internal Adjustments will need to be
granted from LDR Section 4.3.4 Development Standards Matrix in order for the
development to be built under the current scenario:
· Reduction in the side yard setbacks from 15' to 7.5' for the duplex units;
· Reduction in the side street setback from 25' to 15' for the duplex units; and
· Reduction in distance between townhouse structures from 25' to 20'.
LDR Section 4.6.9 Parking:
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(2)(a) and (b), tandem parking may only be used for
single family homes and duplex structures. The development proposal utilizes tandem
parking for the villas. Thus, a reduction in parking will need to be granted. It is noted
that some guest parking has been provided throughout the site, and each unit has a
garage.
Reduction in Pavement Widths:
Pursuant to LDR 6.1.2(B)(3), the required pavement width for a local street is 24', and
the development proposal is to provide a reduced pavement width which provides for
22' of asphalt with 5' sidewalks as well as drainage swales on each side of the road.
The City Engineer has indicated that he supports the reduction in pavement width.
Reduction in Right-of-Way Width:
Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(2), the required right-of-way width for a residential
street is 60'. The applicant is requesting a reduction in right-of-way width from 60' to
50' for the street system located in the duplex section of the development (access tracts
are to be provided within the townhouse section). A reduction in the required right-of-
way width may be granted by the body having approval authority of the associated
development application, provided the reduction is supported by the City Engineer
[REF: Section 5.3.1(D)(4)]. The City Engineer reviewed the request and has

determined that the proposed right-of-way width of 50' for this residential development
is acceptable.
OTHER ISSUE:
Atlantic Avenue Median Cut:
As discussed earlier in this report, a median cut is warranted at the intersection of
Atlantic Avenue and the proposed main entrance road. This will require elimination of
the median cut at Atlantic Avenue and NW 24th Avenue (entrance to Breezy Ridge
Estates). Reconfiguration of the medians and relocation of landscape materials located
within those medians will be required. The applicant will also be required to modify the
City's permit through The Florida Department of Transportation for these improvements.
Special concern is noted for the coordination of the redesign of the irrigation system
which is a Toro/Irrinet system.
The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB (Historic
Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community
Redevelopment Agency).

P & Z Board staff Report
Rezoning from CF and RR to RM-7 for the Sned Property
Page 9
The rezoning from CF to RM-7 is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive
Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. Also, positive findings can
be made with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), that the RM-7 zoning
is more appropriate given the school has relocated to another site, and that the RM-7
zoning is more appropriate given the sites location in a residential area.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Recommend rezoning of Coral Trace from CF and RR to RM-7, based on
positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (rezoning findings),
Section 3.1.1, and the performance standards of Section 3.3.2.
C. Recommend denial of a rezoning for Coral Trace, based on a failure to
make positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning
Findings).
Recommend approval of the rezoning request for Coral Trace from CF (Community
Facilities) and RR (Rural Residential) to RM-7 (Medium Density Residential - 7 units per
acre), based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings),
Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), and Section 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land
Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
