ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a City-initiated
Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County C/5 (Commercial - 5 units per
acre) to City GC (General Commercial) with initial zoning of PC (Planned Commercial) for
Palm Court Plaza. The affected property is located at the southwest corner of Military Trail
and Linton Boulevard, and contains approximately 14.19 acres.
LDR Sections 2.4.5 (A), (C) and (D) provide rules and procedures for the processing of this
petition. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency (Planning and Zoning
Board) shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to all
amendments to the City's Future Land Use Map.
BAC~KGROUND,
The property under consideration is an unplatted 14.19 acre parcel which contains an 87,327
sq.ft, shopping center, known as Palm Court Plaza, with a 4,860 sq.ft, outbuilding. On
February 3, 1981, an Agreement for Water and Sewer Service was executed for the subject
property as well as for the adjacent medical office and hospital developments. The shopping
center was constructed in 1985, and City water and sewer facilities extended to the
development. On March 18, 1999, the Agreement for Water and Sewer Service was amended
and included paragraphs, which gave consent for future annexation and assessment of a
storm water assessment fee. The Agreement was processed in conjunction with a proposal to
expand the medical center (Delray Medical Center). The agreement states that the overall
development will be annexed in phases with the subject property to be annexed by March 31,
2001, Delray Medical Center during the year 2005, Fair Oaks property by 2008,and Lago Vista
property by 2011.
The City is processing the FLUM amendment from County C/5 (Commercial - 5 units per acre)
to City GC (General Commercial), and the Annexation with initial zoning of PC (Planned
Commercial) pursuant to the referenced agreement.
F~L1TU R-E~;~ A/NOi '~-USE":M!AP~"AMENO;MENT A~A'LY:S~I$
This Future Land Use Map Amendment is being processed pursuant to the twice a year
statutory limits for consideration of plan amendments (F.S. 163.3187).
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
LDR (CHAPTER 3) PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to approval of Land Use
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.
P&Z Staff Report
Palm Court Plaza - Future Land Use Map Amendment & Annexabon w~th Inibal Zomng of PC
Page 2
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.
Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 3.1.1(A) (Future Land Use Map), all land
uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district within which the land is
situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the land use designation as shown on the
Future Land Use Map.
The accompanying annexation and initial zoning application is seeking a PC (Planned
Commercial) zoning district. The proposed GC Future Land Use Map designation is consistent
with the proposed PC zoning designation. The existing shopping center is allowed as a
permitted use within the PC zoning district. However, the PC zone district requires a minimum
floor area of 6,000 sq.ft, per building. Based upon the site plan approved through the County,
a 4,860 sq.ft outbuilding has been constructed and a future 2,500 sq.ft, outbuilding is
proposed. The existing structure is considered nonconforming and can continue. As the~
project is considered vested, the 2,500 sq.ft, building could be constructed at the approved
location. However, should a site plan modification be requested, the building square footage
cannot be decreased.
The remaining required findings of LDR Section 3.1.1, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan
Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations are discussed
below.
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map must
be based upon the following findings:
Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy, or
similar circumstances. The need must be supported by data and analysis verifying
the changing demographics or other circumstances. This requirement shall not
apply to requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and
Open Space; nor shall it apply to FLUM changes associated with annexations when
the City's advisory FLUM designation is being applied or when the requested
designation is of a similar intensity to the advisory designation. However, the
findings described in the remainder of this policy must be addressed with all FLUM
amendments.
The above requirement does not apply as the FLUM amendment is associated with an
annexation, and the advisory GC (General Commercial) FLUM designation is being applied.
The proposed City GC FLUM designation is consistent with the County C/5 designation.
Consistency -- The requested designation is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
P&Z Staff Report
Palm Court Plaza - Future Land Use Map Amendment & Annexation with Initial Zoning of PC
Page 3
The request is to apply the advisory GC FLUM designation, which was applied to this property
with adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in 1989. Thus, the
designation is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
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 in the overall land use
pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land
use needs. The proposed GC designation is of the same intensity as the existing County C/5
designation. It is noted, however, that the GC designation allows up to 12 residential units per
acre and the current County designation allows up to 5 residential units per acre. As this is
fully developed property, development with residential uses is not a concern. Further,
redevelopment with residential uses even at the higher 12 units to the acre would represent
significantly less impact than the existing development. Thus, the act of officially adopting the
City's General Commercial land use designation has no negative impact with respect to level
of service standards.
Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing and
future land uses of the surrounding area.
North: North of the subject property, across Linton Boulevard, has a County FLUM designation
of High Residential- 12 du/ac and is zoned RM - Multi-Family Residential (Medium Density).
The existing land use is a condominium development known as Las Verdes.
South: The abutting property to the south has a City Future Land Use Map designation of GC
and is zoned PC. The existing use of the property is the Walmart Shopping Plaza and Delray
Eye Associates offices.
East: The property to the east, across Military Trail, has a City Future Land Use Map
designation of GC and is zoned PC. The existing use of the property is Boca Rey Plaza.
West: West of the subject property has a County Inst/18 (Institutional with High Residential 18
du/ac), and an advisory City designation of CF-H (Community Facilities-Hospital). The
properties are zoned CHO (Commercial High Office) and contain the Delray Medical Center
and Delray Medical Center Condos.
The existing shopping center has co-existed with the surrounding developments for many
years. The application of advisory GC FLUM designation to the existing commercial property
is compatible with existing and future land uses of the surrounding area. Site specific
compatibility of future development with the adjacent developments will be addressed at the
time of site and development plan review.
[] Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.

There is no development proposal associated with the Annexation and FLUM amendment
requests. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations will be addressed with future
development proposals. There are no problems anticipated with the ability to comply with the
Land Development Regulations.
ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
Land Development Regulations Governinq Annexations:
Pursuant to the LDR Section 2.4.5 (C)(1) which states that "The City may initiate an
annexation of private property if said dght has been delegated via provisions of a water service
agreement or other agreement to that end". The City initiated annexation is pursuant to the
Agreement for Water and Sewer service executed on March 18, 1999.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY'S COMPREH£NSIVE PLAN:
Designated Annexation Area: Pursuant to Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.5, the
property to be annexed is located within "Annexation Area B", southwest corner of Linton
Boulevard and Military Trail.
Provision of Services: When annexation of property occurs, services are to be provided in a
manner which is consistent with services provided to other similar properties already in the City
(Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.1). The following is a discussion of required services
and the manner in which they will be and are provided (i.e. water and sewer).
Police: This property is currently serviced by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, located
at 345 South Congress Avenue, which serves the South County area. The property lies within
Sheriff patrol zone 9. Zone 9 is bordered by Jog Road on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the
east, Atlantic Avenue on the north, and Clint Moore Road to the south. One officer is assigned
to a particular zone during a shift (three shifts per day). Additional response can be mustered
from "Cover Cars" which roam throughout zones randomly, depending on their availability in
South County during that time.
The City of Delray Beach's Police Department has 14 cars per shift patrolling a 15 square mile
area; and, as a consequence, significantly improved response time should be realized.
Annexation will not require additional manpower, as the police currently pass the property
while patrolling areas of the City to the north, south, and east of the property.
Fire and Emergency Services: The annexation of this property will not require additional
manpower. The adjacent municipal area is served by Fire Station No. 5 (Linton Boulevard &
Germantown Road).
With annexation, the property will receive an improvement in response time from the current
3.5 minutes of the County Fire Department (Pheasant Walk Station) to approximately 1.5
minute for the City's Fire Department (Fire Station No. 5).
P&Z Staff Report
Palm Court Plaza - Future Land Use Map Amendment & Annexation with Imtial Zoning of PC
Page 5
Water and Sewer: The existing development is connected to the City's municipal water and
sewer system, via 8" and 10" water mains, and 8" sewer mains. As part of the Agreement for
Water and Sewer Service, these mains were extended to the site.
Streets: This property has direct access to Military Trail and Linton Boulevard. Both Military
Trail and Linton Boulevard are under Palm Beach County jurisdiction. The jurisdictional
responsibility and the associated maintenance responsibility will not change upon annexation.
As the property is developed as a shopping center, there will be no change with respect to
traffic. With any proposals for building additions, traffic will be evaluated. It is noted that
Linton Boulevard from Military Trail to Congress Avenue is scheduled for widening from 4-6
lanes in 2001. Military Trail is currently 6 lanes.
Parks and Open Space: The commercial development does not have an impact with respect
to this level of service standard. It is noted however, the City currently provides approximately
8 acres per 1,000 residents of recreation space, which far exceeds the desired standard of 3
acres per 1,000 residents established in the Comprehensive Plan.
Solid Waste: As there is no change in actual land use, there is no impact on solid waste
disposal. The service provider will remain the same, as described later in this report.
Financial Impacts:
Effect Upon Annexed Property:
For the 1999 tax year Palm Court Plaza had an assessed value of $9,000,000.00. With the
change from County to City jurisdiction, the following taxes and rates will be affected:

The current yearly ad valorem taxes are $176,505.30. With annexation the yearly ad valorem
taxes will be $214,417.8; a tax difference of $37,912.50. In addition to property taxes, the
following Non Ad Valorem fiscal impositions apply:
Delray Beach Storm Water Utility - This assessment is based upon the percentage of
impervious area of the buildings, parking areas, etc. For non-residential units the assessment
fee is calculated using the following formula (# sq.ft, of impervious area/2,502) X $54. A 25%
discount from the assessment is available if drainage is retained on site. Also a 25% discount
from the assessment is available because the subject property is located with the Lake Worth

Drainage District. As the property contains a nonresidential use, this assessment would be
imposed in the amount of approximately $6,682.50. A further increase based upon new
impervious surfaces will be realized with future development/redevelopment of the site.
Solid Waste Authority - The South Military Trail annexation area is serviced by BFI, and the
City's contract is currently through BFI (Browning-Ferris Industries). Therefore, the waste
service provider will remain with BFI upon annexation.
Occupational License Fees - The shopping center has 45 active occupational licenses. The
current County license fee for the each tenant in the shopping center is $31.50 per year. The
City license fee per tenant is $130.
Water/Sewer Rates - The Palm Court Plaza is currently served by municipal water and sewer.
Properties not located within the City that receive City water and sewer service are assessed
an Out-of-City surcharge. Under that scenario, annexation of properties receiving municipal
water would see a 25% reduction in water and sewer rates. Water meters are assigned to
each bay. Thus, the tenants will experience a decrease in water and sewer rates. In
conjunction with the amendment to the agreement in 1999, an "Agreement and General
Release" was included whereas the City agreed to make certain reimbursements for use of
certain water lines, mains and lift stations installed by the developers. The City would pay a
total of $224,735.00 to cover the reimbursements set forth in the watedsewer agreement
entered into by the parties in February 1981. The payment shall be divided into five equal
payments of $44,947.00 over the next 5 year period commencing March 1, 2001.

Fiscal Impacts to the City: At the 1998/99 City operating millage rate of 6.91 mills and debt
rate of 0.74 mills, the property will generate approximately $68,850.00 in new ad valorem taxes
per year. Additional revenues will be realized through increased assessment value, the annual
collection of the stormwater assessment fee, occupational license fees, as well as utility taxes
(9.5% electric, 7% telephone, 8.7% gas) and franchise fees on electric, telephone, gas, and
cable.
REQUIRED FINDINGS: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(C)(4), the City Commission must
make findings that the annexation is consistent with Objective B-3 of the Future Land
Use Element, and complies with F.S. 171.
As stated above, the subject property is located within a designated annexation area, Area B.
Its annexation is consistent with the Objective B-3 of the Future Land Use Element. Also, the
annexation complies with Florida States Section 171 as it pertains to annexations.
~ ZON;ING A.NALYSIS . ".J
REQUIRED FINDINGS (Chapter 3):
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), 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.
Future Land Use Map, Concurrency and Comprehensive Plan Consistency were
previously discussed under the "Future Land Use Map Amendment and Annexation Analysis"
sections of this report. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations with respect to
Standards for Rezoning Actions and Rezoning Findings are d~scussed below.
Section 3.2.1 (Basis for Determininq Consistency): The performance standards set
forth in this Article either reflect a policy from the Comprehensive Plan or a principle of
good planning practice. The performance standards set forth in the following sections
P&Z Staff Report
Palm Court Plaza - Future Land Use Map Amendment & Annexation w~th Initial Zomng of PC
Page 8
as well as compliance with items specifically listed as required findings in appropriate
portions of Section 2.4.5 shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency
[Section 3.1.1(C)] is to be made. However, exclusion from this Article shall not be a
basis for not allowing consideration of other objectives and policies found in the
adopted Comprehensive Plan in the making of a finding of overall consistency.
Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions}: Standard A, B, C, and E are not
applicable with respect to this rezoning request. The applicable performance standard
of 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 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.
Compatibility is not a concern as the property currently contains a shopping center, which
has existed at this location since 1985. The initial PC (Planned Commercial) zoning
designation will accommodate the existing shopping center as a permitted use. There is
no development proposal associated with this request. Compatibility of any future
development proposals with the adjacent developments will be appropriately addressed
with review of a site and development plan request.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezonin_cl Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5), in addition to the 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;
Cw
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 basis for which the rezoning should be granted relates to Item "b", however, Item "c" is
also applicable. The property is in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, however, it
is within the City of Delray Beach reserve annexation area. The annexation requires that an
appropriate City zoning designation be applied to the property. The PC zoning designation is
of similar intensity as that allowed under the proposed City GC and existing County C/5 land
use designations.

Page 9
COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
The property is development is allowed under the proposed PC zoning districts. With review of
the annexation request, a site visit was conducted and did reveal some code violations, which
primarily related to landscape deficiencies. Any future development will be required to comply
with the Land Development Regulations.
In addition to the above, the PC zone district requires a minimum floor area of 6,000 sq.ft, per
building. Based upon the site plan approved through the County, a 4,860 sq.ft outbuilding has
been constructed and a future 2,500 sq.ft, outbuilding is proposed. The existing structure is
considered nonconforming and can continue. As the project is considered vested, the 2,500
sq.ft, building could be constructed at the approved location. However, should a site plan
modification be requested, the building square footage cannot be decreased.
REVIEW BY OTHERS j
The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the CRA (Community
Redevelopment Agency), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB (Historic
Preservation Board).

to annex this property. To date, a response has not been received.
IPARC Notice:
Notice of the Future Land Use Map Amendment was also provided to the Interiocal Plan
Amendment Review Committee (IPARC) which distributes the information to adjacent

ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION
Positive findings can be made with respect to Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 of the
Comprehensive Plan, and Sections 3.1.1 and 3.3.2 of the Land Development Regulations, and
the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The change is to a designation allowing a similar
intensity as currently developed, and allowed under the existing County land use designation.
Accommodating the annexation of this property and affixing an initial City zoning designation of
PC (Planned Commercial) is consistent with the City's program for annexation of territory
within its Planning and Service Area. The PC zoning designation is consistent with the existing
use of the property. The annexation will provide the property with better Police, Fire, EMS and
Code Enforcement services, however, will experience an increase in taxes and stormwater
assessment fees. Positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(C)(4) and
2.4.5(D)(5), which relate to required findings for Annexations and Rezonings.
The City will receive additional revenue from property taxes, stormwater assessment fees, and
per capita revenues, which will result in a net increase to the City of approximately $68,850 a
year. In addition, revenues will be received from utility taxes and franchise fees.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
