RESOLUTION NO. 54-16 FOR A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY FOR THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH
Recommended Action:
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 54-16 approving a Complete Streets Policy for the City of Delray
Beach.
Background:
Complete Streets are streets for everyone. They are designed and operated to enable safe access
for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities.
Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, walk to shops, and bicycle to work. They also
make it safer for people to walk to and from train stations. In addition, Complete Streets improve
equity, safety, and public health, while reducing transportation costs and traffic woes.
The purpose of this Complete Streets policy is to accommodate the safety and convenience of all
surface transportation system users into the planning, design, and construction of transportation
projects within the City of Delray Beach. FDOT and the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning
Organization have already adopted Complete Streets Policy. The City of Delray Beach will be joining
West Palm Beach as the second municipality in Palm Beach County to have Complete Streets
policies.
The proposed policy was developed as a collaborative effort between the Environmental Services
Department and Planning, Zoning, and Buidling Department. The draft policy was presented to the
Green Implementation Advancement Board for consideration and they recommended approval. The
draft policy was also reviewed by the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization. If
approved the policy will be reflected in the upcoming amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.

RESOLUTION NO. 54-16
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY AND
INITIATING THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING GUIDELINES,
PROCESSES, AND PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING A COMPLETE
STREETS PROGRAM ADHERING TO THE PRINCIPLE THAT ALL
PERSONS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES WHO TRAVEL BY
AUTOMOBILE, MOTORCYCLE, PUBLIC TRANSIT, BICYCLE OR
WALKING ARE EQUAL LEGITIMATE USERS OF ROADWAYS AND
SHALL BE PROVIDED SAFE ACCESS TO ALL CITY PUBLIC RIGHTS OF
WAY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS,the City Commission seeks to make Delray Beach become a more livable and
lively city, a healthy, economically robust community with system wide choices of safe, convenient
access to roadways and trails for all users with a more balanced human scale environment, where a
complete streets program is employed; and
WHEREAS,a complete streets program is designed to reduce congestion, increase the
transportation network capacity, and increase consumer choice while decreasing consumer
transportation costs, improve air quality, improve community health, enhance community aesthetics,
augment economic growth, increase community stability by providing accessible and efficient
connections between home, school, work, recreation, and retail destinations; and
WHEREAS,the City Commission seeks to improve the leadership exhibited by existing city
streets as provided by complete street design through the historic grid system design, the
incorporation of sidewalks, residential street speed limits, traffic calming measures, and pedestrian
signalization; and
WHEREAS,the interdisciplinary integration of land use and transportation planning in the
implementation of a complete streets program seeks the goal of safe, accessible community wide,
multimodal connectivity, that allows a range of alternative choices for daily functional
transportation, including for children walking to school on safe routes to school; and
2
Res No. 54-16
WHEREAS,existing development decisions, traditional land use and transportation
planning, and roadway design standards can have unintended consequences on the daily quality of
life of the citizens standards by reducing individual transportation choices and widespread
dependence on motor vehicles for even the very shortest of trips when the current transportation
system does not recognize that arterials and collectors may function as local roads for short trips due
to an absence of a connectivity grid of transit, bike lanes and sidewalks to allow choices of other safe
modes of transport; and
WHEREAS,a balanced urban community requires a comprehensive, deeply integrated,
network of roadways designed and planned from a sustainable whole systems approach, while also
sensitive to the context and needs of the different wards and neighborhoods within the city to
provide equal access to transportation options for all users; and
WHEREAS,unsafe conditions involving bicycles and pedestrians can be ameliorated when
proper facilities, roadway redesign, traffic calming, effective signage and other techniques of
complete streets are integrated into the urban landscape through the Land Development
Regulations, the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element, the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
(EAR), and the Bike and Pedestrian Plan; and
WHEREAS,over one-third of Americans do not drive, a figure increasing with our aging
of the population, and transportation choice and accessibility are issues of social equity as minorities,
the elderly and children are disproportionate among those with limited transportation choices when
the affordable transportation options of biking, walking and transit are not sufficiently safe, effective
or available leading to significant social and economic isolation and decline, with frequent poor
health outcomes; and
WHEREAS,recent data on public health identifies a direct correlation between land use
decisions, automobile dependency, a lack of alternative transportation choices, and poor health
resulting in increased sedentary life habits and obesity, the second leading cause of death in the
United States, with increased risks of over 13 separate chronic diseases and many cancers; and
WHEREAS,adoption of complete streets program principles is in alignment with the
current efforts of the City to become a recognized fit friendly community and realize measurable
positive health outcomes through implementation of the principles of complete streets and safe
human powered transportation choices that foster significant improvements in community health
parameters, and lowering community health care costs; and
3
Res No. 54-16
WHEREAS,increasing the opportunity for biking, pedestrian, and transit travel through
better integration of land use and transportation planning reduces reliance on fossil fuels, places the
City in a position to more effectively reduce greenhouse emissions and concentrations of other

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY - CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
P a g e | 1 Approved November 1, 2016
VISION & INTENT
Complete Streets are necessary for Delray Beach to advance the goals adopted in the Strategic Plan and
Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan. Complete Streets will enhance Delray Beach’s quality of life over the
long-term by advancing mobility, economically sound compact and connected development patterns,
public health and safety, livability, environmental protection and enhancement, sustainability,
neighborhood equitability, affordability, economic activity, climate resiliency, and excellence in urban
design and community character. As public space, streets should be designed to a higher standard for the
common good of all people, in keeping with the Delray Beach vision:
Delray Beach is a “Charming Village by the Sea,” with a World Class Beach, a Vibrant
Downtown, a Diverse Local Economy and a Community of Quality Neighborhoods and
Schools. Recreational and Cultural Opportunities Abound. People Embrace Cultural
Diversity.
Specifically, this Complete Streets Policy is integral to achieving the City of Delray Beach’s short and long
term goals and requires a shift in how we define the role of roadways: They are public spaces that serve
people first. Therefore, the City of Delray Beach commits to improvements that support safe, efficient,
and convenient mobility for all roadway users - pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists -
regardless of age or ability. Complete Streets are necessary to support compact development patterns.
They expand everyone's mobility choices for safe and convenient travel by different modes between
destinations throughout Delray Beach. As appropriate for their context, they are designed to balance
safety and convenience for everyone using the road.
Safety, including a reduction in hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists on Delray Beach roadways, is a
fundamental consideration of this Complete Streets policy. Complete Streets also encourage people to
make active transportation choices (powered by human energy), which are associated with improved
health outcomes for people at all stages of life. To improve community health, Delray Beach seeks to
transform its street network from a barrier to an asset for regular walking and biking. The City also
recognizes the multiple public health benefits of reducing the air pollution and climate change caused by
vehicle emissions.
The City of Delray Beachrecognizes that the planning and design of streets and regional roadways should
holistically include the entire right-of-way and public space – defined as the entire area between building
fronts. A Complete Streets approach provides aunique opportunity to thoughtfully integrate and advance
multiple objectives for our community, now and in the future, while delivering maximum benefits from
both public and private investments.
A. COMPLETE STREETS PRINCIPLES
1. Complete Streets serve all users and modes.
The City of Delray Beach commits to design, operate and maintain the community's streets and right-of-
way so as to promote safe, comfortable and convenient access and travel for people of all ages and
abilities. This is the core intent of the Delray Beach Complete Streets Policy. All streets and roadways
within the city shall provide basic safe access and crossings for all allowed categories of users - people
traveling as pedestrians and by bicycle, transit riders, motorists and others. City streets and/or right-of-
way networks shall accommodate emergency responders and freight needs as well, in a manner
COMPLETE STREETS POLICY - CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
P a g e | 2 Approved November 1, 2016
consistent with this policy. The City recognizes that children, seniors, and persons with disabilities may
require inclusive accommodations.
2. Complete Streets require connected travel networks.
The City of Delray Beach shall prioritize opportunities to create a complete transportation network that
provides connected facilities to serve all people and modes of travel, now and in the future. Streets shall
be connected to create complete street networks that provide travelers with multiple choices of travel
routes and transportation modes and that help to reduce congestion on major roadways. This network
includes off-street hard-surface trails for biking and walking. Not all roadways and routes need to be
optimized for all modes; however, people using each mode require a network of safe and convenient
travel routes and crossings throughout the City.
3. Complete Streets are beautiful, interesting and comfortable places for people.
The design of cities begins with the design of streets, as community places where people want to be. As
part of Delray Beach's public space, streets shall be held to ahigher standard for urban design at a human
scale. Multi-modal accommodations and all City projects in the right-of-way shall be approached as
opportunities to enhance the aesthetic qualities of Delray Beach and its public space through the
thoughtful creation of place. Wherever feasible, streetscapes shall protect and include street trees and
native plants, and incorporate landscape architecture, public art, pedestrian amenities and way-finding
signage, sidewalk cafes and street-facing retail, and other elements that enhance the charm and
attractiveness of Delray Beach and foster sustainable economic development. Streetscapes shall be
designed with temperature extremes in mind, sheltering bicyclists and pedestrians from urban heat
islands and creating comfortable microclimates.
4. Complete Streets require best-practice design criteria and context-sensitive approaches.
The City of Delray Beach will align land use and transportation goals, objectives, policies and code
provisions to create Complete Streets solutions that are appropriate toindividual contexts; that best serve
the needs of all people using streets and the right-of-way; and that support the policies of the Delray
Beach Comprehensive Plan. Context sensitive design allows roadway design decisions to be more flexible
and sensitive to community values, and to better balanceeconomic, social and environmental objectives.
The City of Delray Beach will take a flexible, innovative, and objective approach to creating context-
sensitive Complete Streets that meet or exceed national best-practice design guidelines. This includes a
shift toward designing at a human scale for the needs and comfort of all people and travelers, in
considering issues such as street design and width, desired operating speed, hierarchy of streets, mode
balance, and connectivity. Design criteria shall not be purely prescriptive but shall be based on the
thoughtful application of engineering, architectural, and urban design principles.
5. Complete Streets protect Delray Beach's environment and promote sustainability.
By reducing automobile dependence Complete Streets will help Delray Beach advance its “green” and
sustainability initiatives. In the design, operation, and maintenance of its transportation system, the City
of Delray Beach shall seek opportunities to integrate best-practice "Green Street" principles, including
features and metrics adapted for the climate variations of the area. These may include stormwater
management, tree canopy, shade structures, landscaping, climate protection and resiliency, urban heat
island mitigation, sidewalk and subsurface design to accommodate and protect roots, accessible and
integrated parks and natural areas, and other measures. Projects in the public right-of-way and their
landscape elements shallseek to advance sustainable management and conservation practices for water,
energy, materials and other resources, balanced with other goals.

P a g e | 3 Approved November 1, 2016
6. Complete Streets are the work of all City Departments.
The City of Delray Beach shall approachevery public or private project, program, and practice that affects
the transportation network or occurs in the right-of-way as an opportunity to improve street conditions
and travel routes for everyone. City Departments shall work in coordination and collaborate with other
entities, including adjacent local governments, State, and Federal agencies, to maximize current and
future opportunities for Complete Streets, enhancement of the public space, street connectivity, and
complementary design for streets crossing political boundaries.
7. Complete Streets include all roadways and all projects and phases.
The City of Delray Beach shall apply this policy in a context-sensitive manner to all private and public
routes and roadways. It applies to both new streets and retrofit projects, including the construction,
reconstruction, retrofit, resurfacing, alteration and major repairof streets. It shall provide guidance to the
budget development process for all City capital improvement projects and ongoing street maintenance.
It includes parking facilities, alleys, bridges, frontage roads, private drives or streets and internal
circulation routes, temporary traffic zones, off-street multiusepathways, park roads, and other elements
of the transportation system.
8. Complete Streets require appropriate performance measures.
The City of Delray Beach will track and report performance measures for the transportation system that
measure how well the City is conforming to this policy. Indicators shall reflect safe and efficient mobility
for all users - pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, and freight. A system of “Green Streets”
metrics will be adopted and reported as well. For multimodal mobility, performance indicators shall be
utilized and weighted in a manner that reflects context and community values.
B. APPLICABILITY AND JURISDICTION
This policy is applicable to all development and redevelopment in the public domain within the City of
Delray Beach. It applies to the work of all City Departments and entities. It is intended to guide all private
development that affects streets, the transportationsystem, and the public space.Where new streets and
subdivisions are subject to the City of Delray Beach Land Development Regulations, the City of Delray
Beach shall fully andconsistently refer to this policy for guidance. In the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction,
applicability to specific projects shall be reviewed, determined and overseen with Palm Beach County and
adjacent cities.
In existing developed areas of the City, roadway improvements that implement this policy shall be
achieved as individualprojects advance, as sites and corridors are developed and improved, and as needs
and travel-mode balance evolve over time.For activity centers and corridors identified in the Delray Beach
Comprehensive Plan, and areas with high levels of pedestrian activity, the City shall seek and prioritize
funding sources for strategic Complete Streets improvements.
The City of Delray Beach requires all agencies and authorities over which it has permitting authority to
comply with this policy. At a minimum, they should not adversely affect multimodal travel conditions and
future opportunities. These include, but are not limited to, water agencies, electric utilities, gas and
petroleum utilities, communications utilities, and service contractors. Provisions that support this
Complete Streets policy shall be added to new franchise agreements affecting the City right-of-way.

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY - CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
P a g e | 6 Approved November 1, 2016
EXHIBIT A: GUIDANCE ON IMPLEMENTATION
1. Application to City Projects
All City capital improvement projects, including roadways, initiated subsequent to the adoption of this
Policy shall fully integrate its Complete Street goals and principles from the earliest project scoping and
budgeting phases. As this Complete Streets Policy establishes higher and more comprehensive goals and
criteria than current policy, this policyshall supersede it for roadway projects. All projects shall be initially
definedsuch that the overall project budget is sufficient to assure conformance withthis policy.In keeping
with thisComplete Streets Policy, available budget maybe allocated to address the needs of transit users;
integrate “Green Street” practices, including street trees and landscape elements; and/or provide other
amenities that invite walking and create a sense of place.
2. Capital Improvement Projects
Consideration of this Complete Streets Policy and its long-range goals shall be incorporated into the
planning, scoping, budgeting, funding, design, approval and implementation process for all City facilities,
roadways, and right-of-way infrastructure. The Engineering Division shall provide coordination and
support. Departments shall consult the Strategic Plan, Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, Capital
Improvement Plan, Bike-Ped Master Plan, and other relevant City master plans for guidance in planning
and designing City projects that include or impact roadways. City Departments shall consult City master
plans and policies related topedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicle transportation. All projects shall strive
to advance and integrate multiple goals, including a high-quality public space, place-making, “Green
Streets”, expansive tree canopy, landscaping, and sustainable economic development. City projects shall
seek cost-saving opportunities through such integration. Projects shall anticipate opportunities to
incrementally achieve fully complete streets and networks over time, and in future phases of work.
Departments shall take care that their work does not adversely affect the pedestrian space and
opportunities for multimodal travel and facilities.
Projects should anticipate funding needs and seek resources to acquire necessary right-of-way and/or
easements. If the costs of acquiring right-of-way to provide separate accommodations for each mode of
travel are cost-prohibitive, innovative or multi-use facilities within the existing right-of-way that
accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists should be considered, if appropriate for the roadway and
its context. The need for amenities and landscaping that provide comfort for users of alternative
transportation modes should be factored into funding needs.
For City parks projects, park land may be used for bicycle/pedestrian trails and other elements of the
transportation system that provide connectivity and support people's access to parks and
recreational/outdoor activities.
City utilities will provide guidance on ensuring that Complete Streets Policy implementation does not
create public safety hazards or reductions in levels of utility service unacceptable to utility customers.
Utility projects will seek to support and advance implementation of this policy and related right-of-way
conditions.
3. Project Budgets
It is the responsibility of each project to budget appropriately for implementation of this policy, in a
context-sensitive manner. This includes budgeting for right-of-way and/or easement acquisition. Where
primary funding sources for City projects are narrowly constrained (e.g. restricted to utility, affordable

The City will implement this policy through a Complete Streets Program based in the Environmental
Services Department. The Program will be developed and implemented in consultation with the
Environmental Services Department and other departments, applicable review and advisory boards and
committees, and partners (including but not limited to the Community Redevelopment Agency and the
Downtown Development Authority). It will be appropriately staffed toprovide multi-modal transportation
planning; it will be coordinated with Cityprograms and initiatives for bicycling, pedestrians, transit and on
trails. Program staff will facilitate update of the City’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan. The Complete
Streets Program will be incorporated into the Transportation Element of the Delray Beach Comprehensive
Plan and be inclusive of all relevant CityDepartments. The Program shall facilitate city-wide staff training,
public education, document development and/or updates, departmental Complete Street efforts, and
other actions as necessary to fully implement this Complete Streets policy. An interim report on the
development and progress of this program shall be delivered to the City Commissionwithin 24 months of
policy adoption.
6. Modal Networks
The City shall advance projects that are needed to close gaps and to complete priority transportation
networks and routes for people using each individual travel mode.

TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Janice Rustin, Interim City Attorney
DATE: November 1, 2016
RESOLUTION NO. 55-16; IN SUPPORT OF EFFORTS BY FEDERAL AGENCIES TO REDUCE
OPIOID MISUSE, ADDICTION AND OVERDOSE
Recommended Action:
Motion to Adopt Resolution No.55-16;supporting the recent efforts by federal agencies,including
the Department of Justice (DOJ)and the Center for Disease Control (CDC),to help reduce opioid
misuse,addiction,and overdose,and directing City officials and City staff to take any and all actions
necessary to effectuate the intent of this Resolution.
Background:
On an average day across the county,at least 78 people will die from an opioid-related overdose,
3,900 people will use a prescription opioid outside of legitimate medical purposes and supervision,
and 580 people will try heroin for the first time.The City of Delray Beach has seen a dramatic
increase in overdoses due to heroin and opioids in the past year (more than 100%increase in 2016
over 2015 according to Delray Beach Police Department statistics).
On September 20,2016,United States Attorney General,Loretta E.Lynch,on behalf of the DOJ,
sent a letter to Florida Governor Rick Scott requesting his help in addressing the prescription opioid
and heroin epidemic facing the country by strengthening prescription drug monitoring programs and
ensuring safe drug disposal.On March 18,2016,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
created new guidelines for prescribing opioids for chronic pain in order to help curtail the
overprescribing of opioids by physicians.The City believes opioid misuse is a contributing factor to
the rise in heroin and opioid related overdoses in the City.Therefore,the City supports the recent
efforts by the CDC and DOJ to address opioid misuse.
If adopted,a copy of this Resolution showing the City’s support will be sent to all cities within Palm
Beach County,the Palm Beach County League of Cities,the Florida League of Cities,Governor Rick
Scott,Senator Maria Sachs,Representative Bobby Powell,the National League of Cities,Senator

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, recognizes that the heroin and
prescription opioid epidemic is one of the most urgent law enforcement and public health challenges facing our
country; and
WHEREAS, opioids are a class of drugs that includes the illegal drug heroin as well as power pain
relievers available by prescription, such as oxycodone (oxycontin), hydrocodone (vicodin), codeine, morphine,
fentanyl, methadone, and many others; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Health and Human Services recently announced that 3.8 million
people ages 12 and older are currently misusing prescription pain relievers in our country; and
WHEREAS, in 2014, more than 60% of the 47,000 drug overdose deaths in America involved
opioids, reflecting a dramatic increase over the past two decades; and
2
Res No. 55-16
WHEREAS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), opioids are
commonly prescribed for pain. In fact, an estimated 20% of patients presenting to physician offices with non-
cancer pain symptoms or pain-related diagnoses receive an opioid prescription. In 2012 alone, health care
providers wrote 259 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication, enough for every adult in the United
States to have a bottle of pills; and
WHEREAS, opioid pain medication use presents serious risks, including overdose and opioid use
disorder. From 1999 to 2014, more than 165,000 persons died from overdose related to opioid pain
medication in the United States, and
WHEREAS, in the past decade while death rates for the top leading causes of death such as heart
disease and cancer have decreased substantially, the death rate associated with opioid pain medication has
increased markedly; and
WHEREAS, the sales of opioid pain medication have increased in parallel with opioid-related
overdose deaths; and
WHEREAS, the Drug Abuse Warning Network estimated that greater than 420,000 emergency
department visits were related to the misuse or abuse of narcotic pain relievers in 2011, the most recent year for
which data is available; and
WHEREAS, scientific research has identified high-risk prescribing practices that have contributed to
the overdose epidemic; and
WHEREAS, observational research showed significant increases in opioid prescriptions for pediatric
populations from 2001 to 2010 and a large proportion of adolescents are commonly prescribed opioid pain
medications for conditions such as headache and sports injuries; and
WHEREAS, use of prescribed opioid pain medication before high school graduation is associated with
a 33% increase in the risk of later opioid misuse and misuse of opioid pain medications in adolescence strongly
predicts later onset of heroin use. Thus, risk of opioid medication use in pediatric populations is of great
concern; and
WHEREAS, on the average day: at least 78 people will die from an opioid-related overdose, 3,900
people will use a prescription opioid outside of legitimate medical purposes and supervision, and 580 people
will try heroin for the first time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY

Office of Public Affairs
Department of Justice Releases Strategy Memo to Address Prescription
Opioid and Heroin Epidemic
Attorney General Lynch Announces Support, Calls on Governors to Strengthen PDMP Efforts
As part of the Obama Administration’s commitment to address the rising public health challenges caused by the
national prescription opioids and heroin epidemic, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch issued a memo this
week announcing the department’s three-part prevention, enforcement and treatment strategy. The memo lays
out action items, institutionalizes best practices, and builds on existing efforts by U.S. Attorney’s Offices, the Drug
Enforcement Administration and other Department of Justice components.
Additionally, Attorney General Lynch sent a letter to Governors calling on them to strengthen the effectiveness of
Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) and to improve data sharing of vital information from doctors and
pharmacists about patient prescriptions—both within states and among neighboring states. To further this effort, the
department also announced an $8.8 million grant to 20 states to help reduce prescription drug abuse, misuse and
diversion. The awards, funded under the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)’s Harold Rogers Prescription Drug
Monitoring Program FY 2016 Competitive Grant Program, enable awardees to create, implement and enhance
PDMPs.
A fact sheet of the strategy memo is outlined below.
FACT SHEET ON THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STRATEGY MEMO TO ADDRESS PRESCRIPTION
OPIOID ABUSE AND HEROIN EPIDEMIC THROUGH PREVENTION, ENFORCEMENT, AND TREATMENT
The heroin and prescription opioid epidemic is one of the most urgent law enforcement and public health
challenges facing our country. The Department of Health and Human Services recently announced that 3.8
million people ages 12 and older are currently misusing prescription pain relievers in our country. In 2014, more
than sixty percent of the 47,000 drug overdose deaths in America involved opioids, reflecting a dramatic increase
over the past two decades.
The Department of Justice memo to federal prosecutors identifies some of the key action items that the
department is taking now or will take in the near future to combat the prescription opioid and heroin epidemic as
part of the Obama Administration’s overall strategy to address the opioid epidemic. While the epidemic is a
national problem, the department has and will continue to tailor efforts to the needs of each region, implemented
by those who know their communities best.
PREVENTION
Action Items: Strengthen Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs)
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will prioritize requests for Harold Rogers PDMP Grant Program
funding that involve the development and implementation of information exchanges between state PDMPs
(or between PDMPs and other data sharing partners).
BJA will develop and promote the use of “report cards” and other reports to alert prescribers about
potentially inappropriate prescribing practices and encourage use of the PDMP.
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) will study the need for the creation of new grant programs or the
modification of existing programs to promote formulation of timely, cleaned, de-identified PDMP information
and other public data sets that are fully accessible by public health and law enforcement officials.
Action Items: Ensure Safe Drug Disposal
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will expand efforts to develop community coalitions to help
prevent the diversion of unused prescription opioids from homes.
The DEA will work with federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement and public health officials to develop
“mobile” pick-up programs, which will be designed to make take-back options available to rural and
underserved communities through coordinated regional efforts.
The DEA will expand efforts to engage retail pharmacies seeking to establish permanent collection
receptacles.
Action Items: Prevent Overdose Deaths with Naloxone
BJA will promote the use of its “Law Enforcement Naloxone Toolkit” by all state, local and tribal law
enforcement agencies throughout the country that do not already have a naloxone program.
OJP will develop plans for continuing to expand access to naloxone and for enhancing information sharing
regarding the effectiveness of naloxone programs.
ENFORCEMENT
Action Items: Investigate and Prosecute High-Impact Cases
Directing the department’s resources towards the greatest threats, including but not limited to individuals
and institutions responsible for the trafficking of heroin and fentanyl, those who improperly prescribe or
divert opioids and those who use violence to further drug-trafficking activities.
Action Items: Enhance Regulatory Enforcement
The DEA will develop metrics for measuring the effectiveness of its expanded regulatory efforts and use
these metrics to refine its regulatory efforts.
The DEA will expand engagement with the registrant community, especially manufacturers, doctors and
pharmacists who handle opioid analgesics.
Action Items: Encourage Information Sharing
The DEA and the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) will partner with federal,
state, local and tribal law enforcement and public health partners to better facilitate information sharing
through the use of investigative de-confliction tools, including the DEA Analysis and Response Tracking
System (DARTS) and the De-confliction and Information Coordination Effort (DICE), as well as other
information coordination systems, in coordination with DEA’s Special Operations Division, the OCDETF
Fusion Center and the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC), with the goal of sharing de-identified, real-time
data between public health and public safety, when feasible, to reach maximum harm reduction in
communities.
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office will require its grant recipients to share with the
OCDETF Fusion Center relevant law enforcement information collected as a result of such funding.
The DEA will expand its Drug/Heroin Data Capture project, a three-part data collection and sharing
initiative, based at EPIC.
The DEA will convene pathologist, toxicologists, medical examiners and state officials to better understand
the challenges faced by overburdened state systems as those resource capabilities inform investigative
and prosecutorial resource decisions and to assist those systems when possible.
Fund Enforcement-Related Research
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) will expand its study of the forensic analysis of evidence from
medico-legal death investigations and law enforcement seizures, to develop profiles for fentanyl and other
controlled substances to inform trend analysis and provide tactical intelligence.
NIJ will conduct research on drug intelligence and community surveillance, which are crucial to
understanding drug markets and use trends, identifying drug deterrent and interdiction opportunities and
pursuing organized crime targets.
TREATMENT
Share Best Practices for Early Intervention
BJA and COPS will highlight and promote successful models where law enforcement is assisting
individuals who have overdosed by directing them to treatment programs, as well as connecting individuals
who voluntarily seek help from law enforcement to treatment.
Support Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
In the near term, subject to funding, the department will support medication-assisted treatment by taking
the following step: the Bureau of Prison (BOP) will commit to implementing a nationwide plan to expand
medication-assisted treatment to all Residential Reentry Centers.
Promote Treatment Options Throughout the Criminal Justice System
In the near term, the department will support criminal justice system treatment models by taking the following
steps:
The National Institute of Corrections will draft and release a document for state, local and tribal correctional
agencies compiling research and best practices for residential substance abuse treatment programs.
BJA will draft and publicly release a document that highlights promising initiatives in communities
throughout the United States that address the treatment needs of individuals with opioid use disorders who
enter the criminal justice system.
To combat the opioid epidemic, the department’s components must work together and with other federal, state, local
and tribal agencies to seek a comprehensive solution. The strategy outlined in the U.S. Attorney memo, expressed
in the Attorney General’s letter to Governors and made possible through grants like BJA’s Harold Rogers
Prescription Drug Monitoring Program FY 2016 Competitive Grant Program, embraces an approach that focuses on
prevention, enforcement and treatment, and identifies next steps that are immediately actionable.

September 20, 2016
Dear Governor:
President Obama has designated September 18-23, 2016 as Prescription Opioid and
Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week to bring attention to the urgent public health and public safety
challenge facing States and Tribes throughout the nation. This week, I and other Justice Department
officials, as well as U.S. Attorney's Offices across the country, will participate in over 250 different
events highlighting the Department's strategy to combat the crisis. This strategy, part of the
Administration's comprehensive public health approach to reduce opioid misuse, addiction, and
overdose, is focused on three pillars: prevention, enforcement, and treatment
(www.justice.gov/opioidawareness).
Prescription opioid and heroin overdoses are exacting a significant toll on communities
across our nation, and each and every day, our federal, State, local and tribal partners play a vital role
in responding to this crisis. I thank you for all of the efforts you have made toward addressing the
opioid epidemic within your State and region. I am especially grateful for the hard work and
leadership of the National Governor's Association (NGA), which recently released for states a road
map for response on this issue. 1
I am writing to highlight what is widely considered to be one of the most effective tools
States have to respond to the opioid epidemic: prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs).
PDMPs collect, monitor, and analyze electronically transmitted prescribing and dispensing data
submitted by pharmacies and dispensing practitioners. PDMPs can assist prescribers, dispensers, and
other healthcare professionals in making the best clinical decisions for their patients. They also have
been shown to reduce adverse drug interactions, and to help health care professionals identify
patients who may be in need of substance use treatment. Law enforcement and regulatory/licensing
board officials utilize PDMP information, under appropriate circumstances, to further their
investigations of suspected violations of controlled substance laws and compliance with
regulatory/licensing board practice standards.
Although PD MPs show great promise, more can be done to maximize their benefits to
patients and society. Below are a set of key PDMP best practices that align with the NGA's 2016
road map for responding to the opioid and heroin crisis and the Administration's broader public
health efforts. I urge you to review and incorporate these PDMP best practices, if your State has not
already done so:
1 See http://www.nga.org/files/live/sites/NGA/files/pdf/2016/1607NGAOpioidRoadMap.pdf.
Page 2
• Require prescribers and dispensers of Schedule II, III and IV drugs to register with the
PDMP and check the PDMP before prescribing or dispensing any Schedule II, III and
IV drugs. In many States, PDMPs remain underutilized, limiting their impact and
effectiveness on the prescription drug abuse epidemic. Thirty States have a mandatory
enrollment requirement for prescribers and/or dispensers, but not all States actually require
prescribers and/or dispensers to check the PDMP before issuing prescriptions. Requiring all
prescribers with a DEA or State-controlled substance registration number and all State
licensed pharmacists to register with the PDMP would strengthen the impact of these
important programs. Integrating PDMP registration into the prescriber and pharmacist
registration, licensing, and renewal process is an effective means of automating this process.
As of August 2016, 33 States have mandatory use requirements for prescribers and
dispensers in certain circumstances. A common complaint from the healthcare provider
community is that accessing PDMP information can be difficult and time-consuming. Across
the country, many PD MPs are actively taking steps to integrate PDMP data with health
information exchanges (HIEs) and electronic health record systems (EHRs) so prescribers
can access a patient's PDMP report within their normal clinical workflow. Allowing
physicians and dispensers to appoint "delegates" or staff from their practice to access PDMP
data on their behalf is also an effective means of achieving compliance with this requirement.
Forty-eight States and Washington D.C. allow some form of delegate access.
• Proactively use PDMP data for clinical, enforcement and education purposes. A
majority of States have the legal authority to use their PDMP data to provide what is known
as proactive unsolicited reports or alerts to prescribers, licensing/regulatory boards, or law
enforcement-under appropriate circumstances-although not all States that have this
authority engage in this best practice. Examples of unsolicited reports include notifying
prescribers or dispensers of patients who have been identified as possible high-risk patients
as well as notifying law enforcement and/or the licensing boards of prescribers or dispensers
operating outside of accepted medical practice.
The use of prescriber "report cards" is another type of unsolicited report that is a promising
practice. This type of educational report is generated by a PDMP and made available upon
request to prescribers or proactively sent to prescribers. The report provides a summary of an
individual healthcare provider's prescribing history, including their ranking compared to the
"average" prescriber of their same specialty, and a summary or graphical representation of
the provider's prescribing history. The report card may also include a condensed description
of patient prescription records, risk status, and other clinically relevant information.
As part of the Department's strategy to combat the heroin and opioid crisis, I have directed
the Department's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to promote the use of "report cards"
and other reports to alert prescribers about potentially inappropriate prescribing and use
practices and to encourage routine use of PD MPs. For more information on prescriber report
cards, please visit www.pdmpassist.org .
Page 3
• Establish multi-disciplinary action teams comprised of PDMP administrators, public
health experts, substance use treatment providers, law enforcement and other key
stakeholders to identify communities with elevated risk for overdose death and
implement targeted strategies to lower that risk Effectively addressing the opioid crisis
requires a comprehensive approach and a collaborative information-sharing environment that
complies with privacy laws and regulations. BJA has supported the development of pilot
projects across the nation that are leveraging key data sets (e.g. de-identified PDMP data,
naloxone administrations, fatal and non-fatal overdose data, drug arrests, etc.) to create a
holistic view of the environment, examine the impact of various policies and procedures on
patient and community-level outcomes, and implement proven practices on a larger scale.
• Encourage PDMP interoperability between States. The success of a State's PDMP
program will be limited if residents can simply cross State lines to obtain prescriptions
elsewhere. One of the most effective ways to combat this problem is by encouraging
interoperability between PDMP programs, so that doctors and pharmacists who query a State
registry can see whether a patient has obtained prescriptions in a neighboring State.
*****
We all must do our part to successfully reduce opioid misuse, addiction, and overdose. I urge
you to consider adopting these best practices in your State, if you have not already done so. And
because PDMPs are so important to our shared mission, the Department of Justice stands ready to
assist you. BJA's Harold Rogers PDMP competitive grant program provides funding to States to
implement PDMP best practices, and to address multi-disciplinary information-sharing projects
related to opioid abuse (www.bja.gov). In addition, the PDMP Training and Technical Assistance
Center (www.pdmpassist.org), which BJA funds, is available to assist with the training and technical
assistance you may need.
Finally, the BJA National Training and Technical Assistance Center (BJA NTT AC) is
available to provide or connect you with the expertise you may need to implement the best practices
outlined above at no cost to your State. BJA NTTAC connects State, local, and tribal justice
agencies with specialized national experts to address critical training or technical assistance needs.
BJA NTTAC provides both onsite and virtual assistance on a wide variety of criminal justice issues,
including assistance to address the opioid epidemic. Requests for training or technical assistance can
be submitted online (www.bjatraining.org) and services provided can include providing assistance
with program implementation, training, and offering peer-to-peer opportunities.
Thank you for your leadership on this vital issue. Working together, we will ensure we are
doing all we can to effectively address this national health crisis.
Sincerely,
Loretta E. Lynch
Attorney General

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH AND THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA) FOR FUNDING CITY DEMOLITIONS OF BLIGHTED AND
UNSAFE STRUCTURES
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in the amount of $50,000.00 for funding City demolitions of blighted
and unsafe structures located in the CRA District for Fiscal Year 2016-2017.
Background:
During the FY 2016-17 budget review process, the City and CRA staff discussed the number of
blighted structures that have either been cited by the Code Enforcement Division or posted as an
unsafe structure by the Chief Building Official. The structures are mostly single family and duplex
structures located within the CRA District in the Northwest and Southwest neighborhoods. While a list
of 10 properties has been identified, staff is working on the eligabilty therefore exact addresses
cannot be provided at this time. Due to inadequate funds to demolish the structures each fiscal year,
the CRA would like to enter into another interlocal to continue to support the City's efforts to eliminate
blighted and unsafe structures. The CRA has budgeted $50,000 for this purpose within the CRA
District for FY 2016-17. The demolitions will be administered by the Code
Enforcement/Neighborhood Services Division and coordinated through the Chief Building Official.
The CRA shall make payments to the City within 45 days of the receipt of an invoice from the City,
which is associated with the demolition of a structure declared to be unsafe by the City’s Chief
Building Official and located within the Community Redevelopment Area.The term of the Agreement
is for one year up to and including September 2017 with the option to renew every year thereafter
provided that funding is included in the budget and is approved.This is the second year of this
funding and the City has demolished two structures.Three were delayed due to outside obstacles
which have since been cleared.The CRA will evaluate the Agreement prior to the end of the fiscal
year to determine if any changes are necessary and report its findings back to the City.
The CRA’s Attorney prepared the Agreement, which was approved by the CRA Board at its meeting
on September 8, 2016. Funding to be added at mid-year amendment.

BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property consists of Old School Square Parcel 1, and is located within the OSSHAD

Register of Historic Places.
In 1990, City approved the site plans to provide for the adaptive reuse and renovation of the
historic structures. The proposal included conversion of the former elementary school to a
museum, the former high school to a visual and performing arts center and theater, and the
gymnasium to event space.
The current request is to repaint the Crest Theater, Amphitheater, Gymnasium, Cornell Museum
and Concession Building from the existing color scheme to the scheme listed below. The three
awnings will be changed from teal to a terra cotta vinyl. Additionally, the roofs for the Crest
Theater, Amphitheater, Gymnasium, and the Cornell Museum will be replaced due to their age
and condition of the roofing systems. The roof on the Cornell Museum, however, will be
replaced with a metal diamond tile in a slate grey finish.
As the subject property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the State of
Florida’s Division of Historical Resources is presently being consulted regarding the subject
alterations. This correspondence will be available at the meeting.

REQUEST FOR IN-LIEU FOR PARKING FEE AGREEMENT FOR CUT 432 RESTAURANT
(QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING)
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve In-Lieu for Parking Fee request in the amount of $165,620.00 for 7 parking spaces
associated with the use conversion of a retail space to restaurant, subject to the condition that the in-
lieu fee be paid in full upon issuance of a building permit, by adopting the findings of fact and law
contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and meets the criteria set forth in Section 4.6.9(E) of the Land Development Regulations for the
property at 428 East Atlantic Avenue (located adjacent and immediately west of the existing Cut 432
Restaurant).
Background:
The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) considered the in-lieu fee request for 7 parking
spaces ($165,620.00) at its meeting of August 30, 2016 and recommended approval without
conditions.
The 428 East Atlantic Avenue property is located on the south side of East Atlantic Avenue, just west
of NE 5th Avenue within the Central Core Sub District of the Central Business District (CBD). The
proposed modification request consists of the conversion of a retail tenant space to restaurant to
accommodate the expansion of the Cut 432 Restaurant into the adjacent bay to the west.
Pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.4.13(L), the requirement for the
minimum number of parking spaces for commercial uses in the Atlantic Avenue Parking District is 1
space per 500 sq.ft. of gross floor area, and for restaurant use is 12 spaces per 1,000 for the first
6,000 sq.ft. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3)(b), based upon the location of this property in the
CBD, the in-lieu fee is $23,660 per space (Area 1).
The site is vested for a total of 1 space (687sq.ft./500= 1.37 rounded to 1 parking space) based upon
the previously established retail use. The proposed conversion of 669 sq. ft. (decrease of 18 sq. ft.
after renovations) will require a minimum of 8 parking spaces (669/1,000x12 = 8.02 rounded to 8
parking spaces). Therefore, the proposed conversion will require a minimum of 7 parking spaces
taking into consideration the total of 1 vested space (8 required - 1 vested = 7 spaces required).

Background:
On March 15,2016,the City Commission approved the final subdivision plat and site plan waivers for
the iPIC development,subject to certain conditions related to the valet parking,alley use and traffic
flow on SE 5th Avenue.
The Tri-Party Agreement between the City,the CRA and Delray Beach Holdings,(the Developer of

Agreement with the CRA.Specifically,the Tri-Party Agreement contains the following obligations of
the parties:

As part of the development approval process,the City abandoned the north-south alley on the site.
The agreement provides as follows:

alley back to the City within 45 days of the termination date of the purchase and sale
agreement.

garage that is being constructed.Under the Tri-Party Agreement,the Developer must provide to the
City a performance bond to ensure that construction of the Parking Garage Facility is completed in
accordance with the site plan.
Developers’ Obligation to create a Vehicle Operations Plan
This agreement provides that as a condition of closing,the Developer must record a covenant that
contains a City-approved Vehicle Operations Plan.The plan must provide for policies and rules which
promotes for operation and management of the Parking garage and all vehicle-related features
including traffic in the east-west alley,Developer’s obligation to prohibit illegal drop-offs on SE 5th
Avenue,and a comprehensive valet parking plan.The Vehicle Operations Plan must be approved by
the City Manager,upon positive recommendation from staff and an independent parking
management or traffic specialist, and shall be recorded.
The Vehicle Operations Plan will include the following remedies in addition to the remedies already
provided for in our code of ordinances:
·If the valet operator is cited by code enforcement for causing an obstruction of traffic on SE
4th Avenue or SE 5th Avenue two times in a ten-day period, upon receipt of the second

square foot portion of the land.Under a City-wide referendum (Resolution 87-04),a majority of
qualified electors voted to release the deed restriction on the condition that the proceeds from the
sale were used for public parking.Under the Tri-Party Agreement,when the Developer closes on the
property,the settlement statement must state that a portion of the purchase price,$255,244.80,must

PARKING FACILITY EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND PROJECT COVENANT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH AND DELRAY BEACH HOLDINGS LLC
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve the Parking Facility Easement Agreement and Project Covenant between the City
of Delray Beach and Delray Beach Holdings LLC.
Background:
On December 17,2013,the CRA entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Delray Beach
Holding,LLC (Developer)for the purchase of the old library site to be used for the development of an
iPIC movie theatre.Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement,as amended,the Developer is
required to provide 90 public parking spaces to enter into this Parking Facility Easement Agreement
with the City with regard to these spaces.This agreement shall be a recorded covenant that runs
with the land.In the event that another party purchases the site from the Developer,the new party
will be bound by this Parking Facility Easement Agreement (PFA).
The Parking Facility Easement Agreement contains the following obligations and promises of the
parties:
The City’s right of repurchase
The PFA provides that in the event that the Developer does not commence vertical construction of
the garage within 365 days of closing,the City has the right to repurchase the alleyway.Vertical
construction is defined as construction that occurs above the ground.
Developer obligation to provide 90 public parking spaces
In an effort to secure the construction of the public parking spaces,the City has proposed that the
Developer be required to pay the City an amount equal to what it would cost the City to construct a
parking garage with 90 spaces. This remains an open term in the PFA.
The City seeks a lien on the property of $3.15 million dollars if the garage is not constructed in three
years.The City arrived at this amount based on the cost of construction of a similar public parking
facility that was recently completed in Pompano Beach,the Pompano Beach Pier Garage.The City
has determined that the cost per space of the Pompano Beach Pier Garage was $35,000.Therefore,
the City asks for a lien in the amount of $3.15 million ($35,000 x 90 spaces)that is superior to any

other mortgage or lien on the property.
Developer’s obligation to maintain the garage
Developer is required to pay the total cost of garage maintenance,but it is not prohibited from
seeking reimbursement from the CRA for the cost of maintenance of the public spaces through a
separate reimbursement agreement.If the CRA enters into such a reimbursement agreement with
the Developer that is still in place when the CRA is dissolved,the City will take over CRA’s obligation
under the reimbursement agreement (if any)to the extent that it will only be responsible for paying a
reimbursement amount equal to the amount per space that it pays to maintain other public parking
garages in the City.
Developer’s other obligations as covenants
This agreement memorializes the condition of approval that the Developer relocate its company
headquarters, in an area no less than 20,000 square feet, to the site within 180 days of receiving
Certificate of Occupancy. It also contains the condition of approval that the public terrace be open to
the public, and that the Developer is prohibited from leasing the terrace for public, private or
commercial events.

building will be constructed along West Atlantic Avenue and consist of retail and restaurant on the
first floor, office on the second floor, and 16 residential units on the third and fourth floors. Four new,
two-story structures will be constructed along South Swinton Avenue and consist of retail or
restaurant on the ground floor and two residential units in the second floors of each structure. Along
SW 1st Avenue, two three-story buildings will be constructed which consist of ground floor retail in the
northern building, and a total of 12 Residential-type Inn units between the two buildings. An

underground parking garage will accommodate parking below a majority of the block. The proposed
area to be abandoned will provide a common landscaped plaza .
Staff’s analysis of the required findings for the abandonment is provided within the attached Planning
and Zoning Board report. The following regulations, which were not included in the attached staff
report, are provided with explanation for clarification purposes:
·LDR Section 4.4.13(J)(1)(b-c),Central Business District,Streets and Blocks,Streets and
Alleys:(b)Streets and alleys may not be vacated or closed to accommodate new
development;(c)Alleys provide an important tertiary support system.Alleys may be relocated
provided access and service is maintained to all properties and the reconfigured alley
maintains public access and has at least two separate access points for entry and exit within
the same block.Alleys that are identified routes in the City’s adopted bicycle and pedestrian
master plan may not be relocated.Dead-end service courts are not permitted.In order to meet
the City’s sustainability goals,alleys that are improved as a result of redevelopment are
encouraged to use permeable paving such as porous asphalt or concrete,subject to approval
by the City Engineer.Development on property alongside an alley shall provide street lights as
set forth in Section 6.1.5.
The proposed alley abandonment is located within the Old School Square Historic Arts District
(OSSHAD),and abuts properties along West Atlantic Avenue which are subject to CBD
regulations (with the exception of conditional uses).Therefore,given that the alley is not within
the CBD zoning district and the entire block is under the same ownership,this regulation is not
applicable as the alley will not impact those properties where vehicular and service access
would be required from the rear of the property.Vehicular access is provided with the below
grade parking garage which is accessible from SW 1st Avenue (which is not a primary street)
to the rear of the proposed building along West Atlantic Avenue;services for the entire block
such as loading/delivery and refuse is provided within the building at the northeast corner of
SW 1st Street and SE 1st Avenue.
In addition to the services that alleys provide off of the main rights-of-way,the importance of
alleys and their connectivity is also understood.However,the alley within Block 61 does not
provide the desired connectivity to the adjacent blocks to the south and west as those alleys
have been abandoned.The block to the east (Block 69)maintains its alley system;however,
the portion of alley within Block 61 that would have connected to Block 69 was abandoned in
part in 1986 for 3’to eliminate the encroachment of a structure into the alley right-of-way.The
remaining 13’was abandoned in 1999 in association with the Rectory Park development
which presently exists.
·Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Objective C-2:Economic development,with due regard
for private property rights,historic preservation and character,is an essential component of
the redevelopment and renewal efforts which are directed to the future of the City of Delray
Beach.Specific efforts for the coordination and provision of economic development activities
shall be centered in the City Administration's Development Services Management Group.
Those efforts shall be governed by the following policies.
Future Land Use Policy C-2.2:Alleys located within the Old School Square Historic District on
either side of Swinton Avenue shall remain and be made available for access to abutting
City of Delray Beach Printed on 10/26/2016Page 2 of 4

File #:16-968,Version:1
either side of Swinton Avenue shall remain and be made available for access to abutting
properties. Accordingly, these alleys shall not be abandoned to private interests.
In consideration of the Objective and Policy noted above,economic development with respect
to historic preservation is absolutely essential for the future of Delray Beach,and the subject
alley right-of-way is located within the Old School Square Historic District.It has been
determined that given the single ownership of the entire block and proposal to redevelop the
block,the Policy was not applicable as access to abutting properties would not be hindered.
Staff has continually worked with the applicant to maintain the alley width and building
separation with substantial open space between the buildings facing South Swinton Avenue
and SW 1st Avenue which is at least equivalent to the required 20’wide alley plus the 10’rear
building setback,for a total minimum width of 40’to maintain the relationship between
buildings which is achieved by the alley ROW.The most recent site plan on file provides a
varying separation width of approximately 37’6”-57’,with 40’provided where the alley
presently intersects with SW 1st Street.A copy of the Block 61 site plan is attached.
Additionally,the subject abandonment was considered and supported by the City’s
Development Services Management Group at its August 4, 2016 meeting.
It is also noted that while both the Planning and Zoning Board and Historic Preservation Board,as
well as the public,have made statements regarding the “piecemealing”of the multiple components
involved in the Swinton Commons project such as the Conditional Use,Site Plan,Certificates of
Appropriateness for Demolition and Relocation,etc.,the applicant,permitted by due process,has
requested that the subject abandonment request be forwarded to the City Commission as the
balance of the project is not yet finalized for board/commission review and consideration.In addition,
a majority of the project is dependent on approval of the subject abandonment,and if it is not
approved,the proposed site plan would require significant revisions prior to consideration at HPB.
Throughout the project’s review since its submittal in May 2016,it was the intention of both Staff and
the applicant to maintain concurrent review of the entire project to provide a complete understanding
of all the varying components;however,the site plan is not yet ready for Board consideration ,and
therefore,has not moved forward.Staff is presently waiting for revised plans which address the latest
technical review comments dated September 23, 2016.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the abandonment at its meeting of October
17,2016.The Board recommended approval of the request on a 4-1 vote (Louis Smith dissenting;
Joe Pike stepped down; Jocelyn Patrick was absent) subject to the following conditions:
1.That the pedestrian easement for the north/south portion of the alley be submitted for
acceptance by the City Commission, concurrent with the review of the abandonment;
2.That the vehicular easement for the east/west portion of the alley be submitted for acceptance
by the City Commission, concurrent with the review of the abandonment; and,
3.That a Unity of Title for Block 61 be submitted to Staff for review prior to City Commission
consideration of the abandonment,and prepared for recordation subsequent to approval of the
abandonment.
At the Planning and Zoning Board meeting,the applicant agreed to the conditions requested by the
Planning and Zoning Board.The purpose of these easements is to continue either pedestrian or
vehicular access to the site while the primary intention is to maintain the historic public access
through the block.The width of the easements will be 20’;16’exists,and 20’is required by the
Comprehensive Plan and LDRs.Drafts of the two easements are attached.If the abandonment is

File #:16-968,Version:1
approved, the easements will be brought back to the Commission at a later date for acceptance.
At its meeting of September 22,2016,the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)considered the
complete development request,which included the subject abandonment,and the consensus was to
not support the request.
The Historic Preservation Board (HPB)considered the abandonment at its meeting of October 19,
2016.The Board recommended denial of the request on a 7-0 vote.The Board’s primary concerns
were related to maintaining the character of the historic district by retaining the alley and the ability to
have a denser development given the additional land resulting from the abandonment.
The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) will review the abandonment at its meeting of
October 27, 2016, where a recommendation to the City Commission will be made. This
recommendation will be provided with Staff’s presentation of the subject item on November 1, 2016.
Note: This item was originally scheduled to be reviewed by WARC at its meeting of October 6, 2016
which was canceled due to Hurricane Matthew.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on the
proposed abandonment of the alley right-of-way located within Block 61, associated with the
proposed Swinton Commons development, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(M), Abandonment of
Rights-of-Way.
BACKGROUND
Block 61 is located on the south side of West Atlantic Avenue, between South Swinton Avenue and
SW 1st Avenue, and is zoned Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD). The alley right-
of-way was dedicated by the “Town of Linton” plat, which was recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 3.
The area to be abandoned is 16 feet wide by approximately 451.46 feet long, running north and
south, and approximately 139.44’, running east and west.
The abandonment is to accommodate a portion of the proposed Swinton Commons development,
a multi-block, mixed-use development. The proposed development within Block 61 will consist of
the relocation of both The Rectory located at 20 South Swinton Avenue and the Cathcart House
located at 38 South Swinton Avenue within the block, further down South Swinton Avenue. Three
contributing structures will be relocated to the Sundy House property, and multiple accessory
structures and the two non-contributing structures on West Atlantic Avenue will be demolished. A
new, four-story mixed-use building will be constructed along West Atlantic Avenue and consist of
retail and restaurant on the first floor, office on the second floor, and 16 residential units on the
third and fourth floors. Four new, two-story structures will be constructed along South Swinton
Avenue and consist of retail or restaurant on the ground floor and two residential units in the
second floors of each structure. Along SW 1st Avenue, two three-story buildings will be constructed
which consist of ground floor retail in the northern building, and a total of 12 Residential-type Inn
units between the two buildings. An underground parking garage will accommodate parking, and
will be constructed below a majority of the block. The proposed area to be abandoned will provide
common green area within the block’s new development with pedestrian access throughout.
ABANDONMENT ANALYSIS
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(M)(1), public right-of-way may be abandoned (returned) to the fee
description of adjacent property to the same degree in which it was originally obtained (i.e. property
dedicated exclusively from a single parcel shall be returned to that parcel; property dedicated
through subdivision shall be divided at the center line and returned equally to abutting parcels.)
As previously stated, the subject alley right-of way was dedicated by the Town of Linton plat. The
applicant owns the entire block and proposes to redevelopment the entire block, thereby permitting
the land to be absorbed into the development.
The City’s Environmental Services Department (ESD) has reviewed the request and has not
indicated any concerns. For any existing utility easements to be abandoned, the utilities within
those easements must be relocated subject to approval by the appropriate jurisdiction and
County/State agencies. Any new easement dedications will require that the approved Resolution
allow the acceptance of the replacement easements since the plat will not be approved
concurrently. The utility companies will be required to sign-off on the composite utility plan which
will indicate all replacement easements prior to the replat. The existing sewer line which runs
through the entire alley will be removed; sewer connection will be provided at the south end of the
block and connect to the 8” main which remains in the Sundy House block.
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of October 17, 2016
Swinton Commons Abandonment of Alley Right-of-Way in Block 61
2 / 3
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(M)(5), prior to any right-of-way abandonment being approved, the
following findings must be made:
A) That there is not, nor will there be a need for the use of the right-of-way for any public purpose.
The alley proposed for abandonment presently serves a public purpose as it provides access to
the rear of the properties throughout the block. However, the entire block has the same property
owner and will be redeveloped leaving no further need for public use of the alley right-of-way. In
addition, the existing alley did not provide a connection to other alleys in adjacent blocks, and
therefore, will not impact public use in this aspect, either.
B) That the abandonment does not, nor will not, prevent access to a lot of record.
As stated above, the entire block will be redeveloped and replatted. The redevelopment has been
designed to provide access to the multiple buildings which does not require rear access. The rear
access in alleyways is typically utilized by delivery trucks and waste collection. However, an area
has been reserved for these purposes within the building at the southwest corner of the block.
C) That the abandonment will not result in detriment to the provision of access and/or utility
services to adjacent properties or the general area.
As previously noted, the review of the subject abandonment without the concurrent review of a plat
will require that any new replacement easement dedications be permitted with the Resolution to
ensure continued provision of access and services to utilities.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
At its meeting of September 22, 2016, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
considered the complete development request, which included the subject abandonment, and the
consensus was to not support the request.
The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) has not yet considered the development
request due to the canceled meeting on October 6, 2016. If the meeting is rescheduled prior to the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting, the WARC recommendation will be presented during the Staff
presentation.
Courtesy notices have been provided to the following groups and neighborhood associations:
• Delray Citizen’s Coalition
Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500’ radius of the subject
property. The Planning Department has not received any letters of opposition to the abandonment.
Additional letters of objection or support, if any, will be provided at the Planning and Zoning Board
meeting.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.

2016 CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEE SALARY SURVEY RESULTS
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve the implementation of the pay study results of the City’s civil service employees’
pay plan that was conducted by Evergreen Solutions, Inc.
Background:
In order to restore and maintain a fair,equitable,and market competitive pay plan for all City
employees,a civil service employee salary survey was recently completed by Evergreen Solutions,
Inc., a consulting firm the City retained to conduct the survey.
Background
One of the most accepted compensation principles and practices an organization can implement to
improve employee morale,reduce turnover,and attract better qualified job applicants,is for that
organization to evaluate its compensation plan every three (3)years.The last time the City
conducted a salary survey was in 2008 and because of the financial crisis the country was facing at
the time,the recommendations resulted from the survey were beyond the City’s ability to pay and
therefore not fully implemented.As a result,the City’s Compensation and Classification Plan needed
to be assessed to determine whether it is market competitive,which is the primary factor that can
address the City’s current compensation related issues. .
The City’s Civil Service pay structure has not been reviewed in a number of years while recent union
negotiations resulted in market adjustments to both salaries and pay ranges.Additionally,the City
has experienced difficulty in attracting and retaining skilled employees and needs to move its current
8% turnover rate closer to the national level of 5%.
Bargaining Units
Recently,the City’s PBA and IAFF unions were successful at negotiating market compensation
structure in their current contracts.For the PBA,114 employees received increases averaging
15.76%,at a cost of $1,145,910.Of the IAFF members,93 employees received an average of
15.42%increase,at a cost of $940,100.The City’s civil service workforce of roughly 300 employees

File #:16-1065,Version:1
15.42%increase,at a cost of $940,100.The City’s civil service workforce of roughly 300 employees
warrant the same consideration as afforded to collective bargaining unit employees;to be adjusted to
market wages.
Turnover
The City has experienced significant turnover which has been costly.A 2015 Forbes magazine
article regarding employee turnover shows that for:
·Entry-level positions,it costs between 30-50 percent of the position’s annual salary to replace
them.
·Mid-level positions,it costs approximately 150 percent of the position’s annual salary to
replace them.
·High-level positions,it costs approximately 400 percent of the position’s annual salary to
replace them.
These estimates include the costs associated with interviewing,hiring,training,lost of productivity
that results in filling a turnover.The City’s turnover rate for 2015 is approximately 8%.65 of the 75
full time separations that year were voluntary,of which 33 were mid-level positions with the median
annual salary of $52,500.Using the Forbes magazine article’s calculations,it costs the City
approximately $2,598,750 to replace these positions.
The survey performed by Evergreen Solutions,Inc showed that the City’s civil service salary ranges
were,on average compared to other cities,roughly 11%below the average minimum and maximum
ranges. Further, the survey showed a number of employees below minimum salary ranges.
Therefore,this agenda item seeks to adjust the Civil Service salary ranges and employee salaries to
make them market competitive.
The proposed salary adjustments of approximately $596,597,does not include department heads
and above.
Market Data Results
When compared to the 11 area cities and public agencies listed below that were benchmarked,
overall on average, our employees’ salaries were 11.8% below the average minimum salary levels.

118 job descriptions were benchmarked against the peer group.
Proposed Solution
After analyzing all of the data from Evergreen Solutions,Inc.,the City’s Senior Management
recommends the implementation of the Evergreen study in order to change our pay structure.This
recommendation will assist the City in attracting highly qualified job applicants and retain our valued
tenured employees. These changes can be accomplished by:
1)Creating new salary grades by adding more salary grades to the pay plan.This will enable
employees,who demonstrate favorable job performance,the opportunity for career and salary
progression.In essence,this will create growth and mobility,and support a performance-based
job evaluation system.
2)Creating new salary ranges that are at market level.This will help mitigate employee turnover
and attract better qualified job applicants.
3)Making salary adjustments that will bring employees’salaries up to the new salary ranges,
capped at the mid-point of the equivalent level of their current salary range penetration.No
adjustment will bring an employee’s salary above the mid-point of the new salary range.
4)Creating additional job grades and salary ranges to provide more bandwidth to the City’s Pay
Plan to address salary compression issues.Salaries are better distributed along the bell curve of
actual pay and tenure.If the recommended solution is implemented,the data shows the salaries
of the City’s tenured employees will be higher than those who are recently hired.
In addition to being highly efficient,the proposed solution is neutral and fair because the salary
adjustments are proposed evenly and consistently to eligible employees.This option addresses
inequities and should satisfy long-tenured employees.
Finally,this proposed solution suggests compression issues have been addressed in that the
majority of employees with over 5 years with the City appear to be above the midpoint of the new
market ranges while the majority of employees with the City less than 5 years tend to be below the
midpoint of the new market ranges.
Proposed Solution Cost
The total cost from the General Fund is $467,597,and $129,030 to Other Operating Funds with Civil
Service employees for a combined total cost of $596,597.
Of the City’s 321 Civil Service employees,this would impact 172 employees who would receive,on
average,a 4.9%increase,and exclude newly hired employees who are still on their probationary
period unless their salaries are below the minimum salary level of their position’s new salary range.
All non-department head Civil Service employees will be paid market rates upon the adoption of this

All non-department head Civil Service employees will be paid market rates upon the adoption of this
pay plan.
Although the Department Head positions were included in the salary survey evaluation process,they
are excluded from the proposed solution.The City Manager would like to address the compensation
issues of the General Employees first before reviewing the Department Heads’ salaries.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
The Finance Department recommends approval.
Funding Source:
If approved, funding would come from both the General Fund and Other Operating Funds as outline
above.
Timing of Request:
The proposed motion should be implemented effective October 1, 2016, the beginning of the City’s
new fiscal year.

2016 CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEE SALARY SURVEY SUMMARY
Motion to approve the implementation of the pay study results of the City’s civil service
employees’ pay plan that was conducted by Evergreen Solutions, Inc.
Purpose/Objective
• In order to restore and maintain a fair and equitable pay plan for all City employees, a
Civil Service Employee salary survey was recently completed by Evergreen Solutions,
Inc.
• The survey showed that the City’s Civil Service salary ranges were, on average
compared to other area cities, roughly 11% below the average minimum and maximum
ranges.
• To provide solutions for the City to address its salary compression issues.
Background
• Assess whether the City’s pay structure is market competitive.
• The City has difficulty in attracting and retaining skilled staff. Take measures to move
the City’s current turnover rate of 8% closer to the general national turnover rate of
approximately 5%, which is part of other issues facing the City.
• The City’s high performing employees will continue to be rewarded through the Merit
Pay Program as well as the Employee Incentive Award Program, which awards up to 5%
of an employee’s base salary for outstanding job performance.
Market Data Results
• When compared to 11 area cities that were benchmarked, overall on average, our salary
ranges were 11.8% were below the average minimum salary levels.
• 118 job descriptions were benchmarked against the peer group.
Proposed Solution
• Shift pay ranges to market level.
• Ensure employee salaries are at market level and salary equity is established between
new employees and long tenured employees.
• Help attract better qualified job applicants and help retain valued employees.
• Tenured employees with at least 5 years of service would, for the most part, receive a
salary increase eliminating compression issues.
• The proposed new salary ranges reflect employee tenure. As a result, salaries of new
employees are generally at around 50% salary range penetration, and long term
employees’ salaries are generally above 50% salary range penetration. For example,
the salaries of the long-term Administrative Assistants of more than 5 years are
approximately 36% higher than the salaries of new Administrative Assistants.
• Not all employees will receive a salary increase as this effort is intended to address
inequalities and correct the pay structure.
• Excludes Department Heads and above.
Proposed Solution Cost
• Currently there are 321 civil service employees;
• 14 Department Heads and above will not receive an increase under this
proposal.
• 37 Civil Service employees who will not receive an increases as they are new
hires, with less than one year of tenure.
• 14 Civil Service employees who will not receive a salary increase as they are
either at or above 50% of the new salary range, not here during the time frame,
or were not Civil Service and received Union True up.
• 172 Civil Service employees who will receive an increase, on average, of 4.9%.

RESOLUTION NO. 52-16; MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH PNC BANK
EQUIPMENT FINANCE
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve Resolution No. 52-16; approving the form and authorizing the execution and
delivery of a Master Lease Purchase Agreement with PNC Equipment Finance in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $2,650,000.
Background:
On September 8, 2016, the City Commission approved a purchase award to Ten-8 Fire Equipment,
Inc., for the purchase of a Pierce Velocity 75' heavy aluminum Ladder Truck, which is replacing a
ladder truck currently located at the Highland Beach Fire Station. Financing quotes were solicited
from three institutions. PNC Equipment Finance was the lowest bidder. The attached lease analysis
compares price quotes from Florida League of Cities, PNC Equipment Finance, and Banc of America
Public Captial Corp, who required terms not favorable to the City.
We will be bringing forward a budget amendment in mid-year for the full purchase price of the fire
apparatus. At that time, we will be evaluating the excess revenues and recommending using cash to
purchase the fire apparatus where prudent. The remaining fire apparatus will be purchased using a
bank loan, much like borrowing money to purchase a new car, called a lease purchase agreement.
Under the terms and conditions of the lease purchase, the City owns the equipment at the end.
Additionally, we are requesting to include the financing for 80 Golf Carts, purchased May 13, 2016 for
the City's Municipal Golf Course, in the amount of $186,800.00. Financing was originally determined
to be with SunTrust Bank, but the contract terms were not favorable to the City. We were able to find
more favorable financing through PNC Equipment Finance (also included in the attached lease
analysis).
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance recommends approval.
Funding Source:
A budget appropriation request will be forthcoming during the mid-year budget amendment process
for the total purchase price of these Fire Trucks whether cash funded or bank funded.

The City is replacing 80 golf carts at the Delray Beach Municipal Course.Staff recommends using
the same acquisition structure and pricing approved by the Commission in July 2015 for a similar
acquisition of 60 carts for the Lakeview Golf Course.The net cost to the City,after credit for trading
in the existing carts, $186,800 plus $14,145.40 in financing costs to be paid over five years.
On July 7, 2015, the Commission approved the acquisition of 60 golf carts for the Lakeview Golf
Course, in accordance with Section 36.02(A)(1)Competitive bids. In this procurement, the City
issued Bid 2015-43 for the purchase of 60 used golf carts and trade-in of 60 2006 golf carts on April
13, 2015. There were 154 copies of the advertisement mailed. The City received two bids on May 7,
2015, from Club Car, Inc. and E-Z-Go Division of Textron Inc. Club Car, Inc. was the lowest bidder
with a purchase price of $236,100 and a trade in amount of $96,000 for a total net cost of $140,100.
To address forecasted tight cash flows in the Golf Course Fund,staff solicited financing quotes
from three institutions,including the cart venders.The approved finance option was a 60 months
finance lease at $2,535.60 per month.Under terms of the selected structure,the City owns the carts
and will have the option to retain them after lease expiration.
In this current procurement,staff recommends using the same structure and using the cart price
results of the July procurement to acquire 80 golf carts for the Municipal Golf Course.Pricing of both
the carts has been updated and confirmed by Club Car, Inc.
Club Car,Inc.is the low bidder with a purchase price of $3,935 per cart and a trade in amount of
$1,600 per cart for a total net cost of $186,800 for 80 carts.
Staff solicited new financing proposals from the cart vender and three additional institutions.The
proposal from SunTrust provided the lowest pricing.The lease payment will be $3,349.09 per month
for 60 months, for a total financing cost of $14,145.40.

ORDINANCE NO. 33-16: AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS FOR TATTOO ESTABLISHMENTS AS A SPECIFIC USE WITHIN CERTAIN
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS (FIRST READING / FIRST PUBLIC HEARING)
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 33-16 regarding tattoo establishments as a specific use within
General Commercial, Central Business District, Old School Square Historic Arts District, and Planned
Commercial zoning districts on first reading.
Background:
Recent federal court decisions in Florida and California have held that tattooing is a form of
expressive conduct that is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S.Constitution.As
protected speech,tattooing uses and tattoo establishments may be regulated only if the regulation:
(1)is justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech,(2)is narrowly tailored to
serve a significant governmental interest,and (3)leaves open ample alternative channels for
communication of the information.
Currently,Delray Beach's Land Development Regulations (LDRs)do not specifically list “tattoo
establishment”or related uses as either a principal,accessory,or conditional use.Previously,the
City sought to determine whether or not the use is allowable through the similarity of use process
outlined by Section 4.3.2(C)(1)and (2)of the LDRs until such time as the LDRs are amended to
include regulations for the use.As set forth by Section 4.3.2(C)(3),when a use is not allowed by
similarity of use, it is prohibited.
On March 21, 2016, the Planning & Zoning Board approved (5-0; Krall and Pike absent) a similarity
of use determination for “tattoo establishment” after being petitioned by a tattoo artist. However, this
determination was appealed by the City Commission and, after a public hearing held June 7, 2016,
denied (5-0). The tattoo establishment that was the subject of the appeal was ultimately approved at
the proposed location, 165 Avenue L. The City Commission subsequently approved (5-0) Resolution
26-16 on June 7, 2016, establishing a zoning in progress to allow the City to prepare proposed
revisions to the LDRs to address tattoo establishments and tattooing.
The findings for the proposed ordinanace are documented in the attached exhibits and focus on the
potential increases in call for police services based upon documented crime statistics. For example
the findings note that there have been 14 calls for service at existing tattoo establishments in Palm
Beach County in the past year. The findings further discuss the correlation between outlaw

powered by Legistar™
File #:16-1024,Version:1
motorcycle gangs and criminal activity, specifically street-level drug sales, and large scale drug
distribution, and the involvement in motorcycle gangs in tattoo businesses. Finally, the findings
address the correlation between tattooing and high risk behaviors of adolescents aged 14 to 20,
including substance abuse.
Based on these City has reasonable basis to believe that the proposed regulations limiting the
location of tattoo establishments will help advance the City’s goals of protecting the health and safety
of its residents, especially in light of the recent epidemic of heroin overdoses in the City. The Delray
Beach Police Department (DBPD) reports that in 2016 there have been 360 overdoses in the City,
which have resulted in 31 deaths. Restricting the flow of drugs, including cracking down on
organizations that are known for trafficking drugs into the City, is of paramount importance to the City
and a stated goal of the Delray Beach Police Department.
These regulations will also help to support the City’s goal of preserving the unique character and
aesthetic of its award winning, family friendly, historic downtown and neighborhoods and its
renowned beach resort community.
The following studies and reports supporting Staff’s findings are attached:
·Exhibit A: Calls for service for tattoo establishments in Palm Beach County in the past year.
·Exhibit B: 2015 National Gang Report, National Gang Intelligence Center (unclassified)
·Exhibit C: Florida Gang Reduction 2013 Annual Report, Florida Attorney General
·Exhibit D: Delray Beach Police Department statistical data for overdoses from heroin in 2016
·Exhibit E:2015 Annual Report,City of Delray Beach Police Department,highlighting the
efforts to combat heroin distribution and sales within the City of Delray Beach
·Exhibit F: Local newspaper reports:
o “Delray Beach:Municipal Departments Facing Impact of Addiction Crisis”,Coastal Star,
September 29, 2016.
o “August Deadliest Month For Heroin Overdoses In Delray Beach”,Palm Beach Post,
September 6, 2016
o “Heroin linked to Rising Death Toll”, Coastal Star, March 2, 2016
o “Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs Still Prevalent in Florida”, Miami Herald, May 24, 2015
o “Delray Beach Police:28 Drug Dealers Arrested in Just 10 Days”,Palm Beach Post,
April 26, 2016
·Exhibit G:Tattooing and High-Risk Behavior in Adolescents,Timothy A.Roberts and Sheryl A.
Ryan,Pediatrics 2002; updated in 2005.
Based on these studies and reports, there is evidence to support a finding that tattoo establishments
can have potential adverse secondary impacts and that limiting these effects by imposing distance
requirements will further the City’s interests.

related to the siting of tattoo establishments and their customers near churches and schools, and that it is in the
public interest therefor to buffer tattoo establishments from churches and schools; and

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2016
ITEM:
City-initiated text amendments to the Land Development Regulations
(LDR) to define and permit new uses, “tattoo establishment” and
“tattooing,” in specified zoning districts and locations.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval to the City Commission.
GENERAL DATA:
Applicant: City of Delray Beach
Location: General Commercial (GC), Planned Commercial (PC), Central
Business District (CBD; limited), and Old School Square Historic Arts
District (OSSHAD; limited) Zoning Districts
Proposed Use: Tattoo Establishments and Tattooing
On December 29, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Buehrle v. City
of Key West (Exhibit A), concluded that tattooing constituted artistic expression protected under the
First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. As protected artistic expression, a municipality may
regulate protected artistic expression only if the regulation: (1) is justified without reference to the
content of the regulated speech, (2) is narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest,
and (3) leaves open ample alternative channels for communication of the information. Effectively,
the City of Delray Beach may regulate tattoo studios, parlors, or related uses through reasonable
time, place, and manner restrictions with supporting evidence for such restrictions based upon the
three criteria.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is City-initiated text amendment to amend the Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) to define and permit new uses, “tattoo establishment”
and “tattooing,” in specified zoning districts and locations pursuant to reasonable time,
place, and manner restrictions that leave open ample alternative channels for
communication of protected speech.
BACKGROUND
Recent federal court decisions in Florida and California have held that tattooing is a
form of expressive conduct that is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution. As protected speech, tattooing uses and tattoo establishments may be
regulated only if the regulation: (1) is justified without reference to the content of the
regulated speech, (2) is narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest,
and (3) leaves open ample alternative channels for communication of the information.
Currently, Delray Beach's Land Development Regulations (LDRs) do not specifically list
“tattoo establishment” or related uses as either a principal, accessory, or conditional
use. Previously, the City sought to determine whether or not the use is allowable through
the similarity of use process outlined by Section 4.3.2(C)(1) and (2) of the LDRs until
such time as the LDRs are amended to include regulations for the use. As set forth by
Section 4.3.2(C)(3), when a use is not allowed by similarity of use, it is prohibited.
On March 21, 2016, the Planning & Zoning Board approved (5-0; Krall and Pike absent)
a similarity of use determination for “tattoo establishment” after being petitioned by a
tattoo artist. However, this determination was appealed by the City Commission and,
after a public hearing held June 7, 2016, denied (5-0). The tattoo establishment that
was the subject of the appeal was ultimately approved at the proposed location, 165
Avenue L. The City Commission subsequently approved (5-0) Resolution 26-16 on
June 7, 2016, establishing a zoning in progress to allow the City to prepare proposed
revisions to the LDRs to address tattoo establishments and tattooing.
Tattoos & Society
Section 381.00771, Florida Statutes, defines a “tattoo” as a “mark or design made on
or under the skin of a human being by a process of piercing or ingraining a pigment,
dye, or ink in the skin,” and while others may insert “indelible,” reference a “needle,” or
specifically exclude “permanent make up,” this definition describes the basics.
Archaeologists have proven that humans have been getting tattoos for a long time. The
oldest known tattoos go back to Ice Man Otzi who was buried beneath an alpine glacier
along the Austrian-Italian border around 3250 BC; and historical evidence clearly shows
that the practice has persisted across cultures and time. Here in the United States and
much of the West, with a few exceptions, tattoos have been considered taboo for most

of modern history. However, a major cultural shift began with the Baby Boomers and
has subsequently intensified with Gen X and the Millennials. According to the findings
of the Pew Research Center, Harris Poll, and a number of researchers, tattoos have
become mainstream. In fact, comparing the Harris Poll of 2015 to the Pew Research
Center Study of 2010 suggests that the
shift in societal attitudes has continued,
as the Harris Poll reports that 29% of
Americans have tattoos (vs. 23%) and
47% of Millennials (vs. 38%). The data
also shows that those who get one
tattoo often get another. According to
the Harris Poll, among Americans with
any tattoos, 69% have two or more.
This significant increase in the
prevalence of tattoos has occurred with
a corresponding increase in the size of
the tattoo industry. Over the course of
this generational change, the industry
has been identified as one of the fastest
growing in America. It is estimated to
bring in anywhere from $720 million to $2 billion in annual revenue; employ over 50,000
workers; and operate from of over 35,000 tattoo establishments. According to studies
conducted since 2010, some of the most inked cities in America are Los Angeles,
Kansas City, Honolulu, Austin, Richmond, San Francisco, Portland, Las Vegas, and
Miami Beach.
Laws Regulating Tattoos
Florida Statutes
In 2012, the Florida legislature passed laws to regulate tattoo artists in the state.
Sections 381.00771-91, Florida Statutes provides as follows:
• Minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from receiving tattoos except for those
aged 16 or 17 that are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who provide
their written consent.
• Both tattoo artists and tattoo establishments must be licensed.
• As part of licensure, a tattoo establishment must demonstrate compliance with
all applicable zoning codes.
• A person may not tattoo the body of any human being in this state except at a
properly licensed establishment.
• Minimum education and training requirements for tattoo artists, including the
study of blood-borne pathogens.
• Counties and municipalities are not preempted from imposing additional
regulations on tattoo establishment.

Recent Case law
Courts in Arizona, California and Florida have held that tattooing is protected as free
speech under the First Amendment and that government regulations completely
banning tattoo uses and establishments are unconstitutional. Recently, Florida and
California courts have struck city ordinances restricting the locations of tattoo
establishments based on buffer zones and distance separations. In each case, the court
found that although the cities may have had a legitimate interest regulating the location
of tattoo establishments, each failed to provide evidence showing that the tattoo
establishments had an adverse impact on the neighborhood to support such limitations.
• Buehrle v. City of Key West, 813 F. 3d 973 (11th Cir, 2015): A Federal appellate
court struck down a city ordinance that prohibited tattoo shops in a historic district
as unconstitutional. The court found that tattooing was protected speech under
the First amendment and that the City’s content-neutral ordinance was not
narrowly tailored to further the City’s interest in protecting the character and
fabric of the historic district. The City claimed that the adverse impacts of tattoo
establishments would reduce tourism to the area, but it did not rely on any studies
or data when passing the ordinance.
• Yvon v. City of Oceanside, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 106546 (S.D. Cal. August 11,
2016): A Federal district court granted an injunction allowing a tattoo artist to
operate without obtaining a conditional use permit that required him to abide with
certain buffer zone distance requirements. The City failed to show there was a
reasonable evidentiary basis to support its belief that the zoning scheme was
necessary to reduce criminal behavior that it claimed to be related to tattoo
parlors.
Local Government Regulations
A review of the regulations of notable jurisdictions is provided below:
Palm Beach County
A tattoo-related use falls under the definition of “Personal Services,” which is: “an
establishment engaged in the provision of frequently or recurrently services of a
personal nature: or the provision of informational, instructional, personal improvement
or similar professional services which may involve limited accessory retail sale of
products. Typical uses include art and music schools, beauty and barbershops, driving
schools, licensed therapeutic massage studios, photography studios, and tanning
salons.” Personal Services are permitted by right in the CN (Neighborhood
Commercial), CC (Community Commercial), CHO (Commercial High Office), CG
(General Commercial) and CRE (Commercial Recreation) zoning districts subject to a
maximum size of 3,000 SF in the CN and CLO Districts. Personal Services are also
allowed by right and by conditional use in several other county zoning districts, including
airport, mixed-use districts and planned developments.

Boynton Beach
“Tattooing” is part of the definition of “Personal Care (Beauty, Hair, Nails),” which states:
An establishment primarily providing one (1) or more of the following services and/or
facilities: 1) hair care; 2) nail care; 3) facials or application of makeup; 4) tanning salons;
5) day spas, including accessory massage/aromatherapy; and 6) body piercing and
tattooing.” Additionally, it is interesting to note that the definition of “Art Studio”
specifically excludes tattooing and body art. As part of the Personal Care use, tattooing
is permitted as a principal use in the M-1 Industrial District and as an accessory use in
the R-3 Multi-family Residential, PUD Planned Unit Development, C-2 Neighborhood
Commercial, C-3 Community Commercial, C-4 General Commercial, CBD Central
Business District, PCD Planned Commercial Development, SMU Mixed-Use Suburban,
MU-L1 Mixed Use-Low Intensity, MU-L2 Mixed Use-Low Intensity, MU-L3 Mixed Use-
Low Intensity, MU-H Mixed Use-High Intensity, and M-1 Districts subject to a minimum
separation of 300 feet from a residential zoning district.
Boca Raton
According to the Zoning Official, a tattoo-related use falls under the definition of
“Personal Services,” which is: “any retail establishment providing services to the human
body including, but not necessarily limited to, barbershops, beauty shops and massage
establishments.” Personal Services are permitted in the following zoning districts:
Neighborhood Convenience Business, Motel-Business District, Local Business District,
Community Business District, Central Business District, General Business District,
Commercial District, Industrial (20% of GFA max.) and Village Center.
Pompano Beach
This city has a specific use, entitled “Tattoo or Body Piercing Establishment,” which falls
under the broader heading of “Personal Services” and is defined as: “an establishment
whose principal business activity, either in terms of operation or as held out to the public,
is the practice of one or more of the following: (1) making indelible marks or designs on
or visible through the skin of a human by puncturing or pricking the skin with a needle
or other instrument and inserting ink or other pigments; or (2) creating an opening in
any part of the human body, other than the outer perimeter or lobe of the ear, for the
purpose of inserting jewelry or other decorative object for a non-medical purpose.” The
Tattoo or Body Piercing Establishment use is permitted in several zoning districts by
right, including General Business, Heavy Business, Transit-Oriented, Planned
Commercial/Industrial, Planned Development-Transit-Oriented, Local Activity Center
and Planned Development-Infill. The use is specifically prohibited in the Atlantic
Boulevard Overlay district.

Pensacola
Originally, Pensacola regulated tattoo parlors indirectly through the “personal services”
use. However, it was reported that after a tattoo shop opened next to a theater in 2010,
it upset some in the community and led to “tattoo shop” becoming a specifically defined
use permitted only in the city’s most intense zoning district in 2012. In 2015, a proposed
tattoo studio succeeded in petitioning the city council for more accommodating
regulations, and the use is now allowed in the city’s commercial districts all the way
down to the residential/neighborhood commercial district.
ANALYSIS
In light of recent court decisions upholding tattooing and tattoos as a form of expressive
speech that is protected under the First Amendment, Staff proposes to amend the LDRs
to allow the tattoo uses and tattoo establishments.
Staff recommends that tattooing be allowed as a permitted use in commercial districts
as described more fully below. Adopting regulations that limit the location and the
frequency of tattoo establishments is also recommended as recent studies have shown
that there is a reasonable basis to believe that this use has potential adverse secondary
impacts. As a result, regulations imposing such limits are necessary to further the City’s
interests.
The City has a legitimate interest in promulgating such regulations. The City desires to
preserve the unique character and aesthetic of its award-winning, family-friendly,
historic downtown and neighborhoods and its renowned beach resort community as
described in the following sections of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Vision Plans:
• Comprehensive Plan
o Future Land Use Element, Goal Area A: Land within the planning area
shall be developed or redeveloped, to sustain and enhance the existing
quality of life, compliment and be compatible with existing land use and
result in a mixed, but predominately residential community with a balance
economic base and encourage accessible affordable everyday services.
o Policy C-3.1 The Central Business District (CBD) Zoning District
regulations shall facilitate and encourage rehabilitation and revitalization
and shall, at a minimum, address the following:
deletion of inappropriate uses
incentives for locating retail on the ground floor with office and
residential use on upper floors accommodating parking needs
through innovative actions
incentives for dinner theaters, playhouses, and other family
oriented activities

• Vision 2020 Vision Report
o Every group cited the small town feel, diversity, and community
involvement of Delray. Many of the cultural and recreational alternatives
were highlighted as well as an emphasis on preservation and historic
architecture. Some groups valued having local shops vs. chain stores and
most importantly the police department/safety were repeatedly mentioned
as highly valued. Key words shared included: vibrancy, pride, friendly,
eclectic, urban lifestyle, family-oriented, and fun. (p. 4)
• 2005 Vision Plan
o The city should consider the following strategies and tools so that Delray
Beach can continue to grow while preserving its unique characteristics.
Promote, preserve, and enhance the quality of the neighborhood
character. (p. 3)
Furthermore, there is a reasonable basis to believe that the proposed regulations
limiting the location of tattoo establishments will help advance the City’s goals of
protecting the health and safety of its residents, especially in light of the recent epidemic
of heroin overdoses in the City. The Delray Beach Police Department (DBPD) reports
that in 2016 there were 360 overdoses in the City, which resulted in 31 deaths.
Restricting the flow of drugs, including cracking down on organizations that are known
for trafficking drugs into the City, is of paramount importance to the City and a stated
goal of the DBPD.
City staff has undertaken to study the secondary effects of tattoos and tattoo
establishments. A recent FBI study indicates that tattoo parlors comprise a substantial
percentage of business owned by outlaw motorcycle gang members. See 2015 National
Gang Reports, p. 30. This report also states that Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs)
have a high level of involvement in street-level drug sales, large scale drug distribution,
and drug manufacturing. See 2015 National Gang Reports, p. 28. The Florida Attorney
General reports that Palm Beach County has more than 80 documented gangs, and
that there has been an increase in criminal gang activity in recent years. See Florida
Gang Reduction 2013 Annual Report, p. 15-16.

There is also research to support a correlation between tattoos and substance use in
adolescents. A 2004 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that
in a study of adolescents aged 13 to 21, the acquisition of tattoos was strongly related
to variety of high-risk behaviors including substance use and gang affiliation.
Specifically, adolescents with tattoos were almost two times more likely to have used
drugs and three times more likely to have been initiated into a named gang in the last
year compared with adolescents without tattoos.
The following studies and reports supporting Staff’s findings are attached as Exhibit A:
• 2015 National Gang Report, National Gang Intelligence Center (unclassified).
• Florida Gang Reduction 2013 Annual Report, Florida Attorney General.
• Memorandum from Delray Beach Chief of Police Jeff Goldman regarding calls
for service data for overdoses from heroin in 2016.
• “Delray Beach: Municipal Departments Facing Impact of Addiction Crisis”,

• “August Deadliest Month for Heroin Overdoses in Delray Beach”, Palm Beach
Post, September 6, 2016.

effects by imposing distance requirements will further the City’s interests.

ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION
This Section of the Report serves to offer proposed amendments to the LDRs and
provide the corresponding justification. After a proposal, a discussion of the rationale
is often provided in brackets [Discussion:…].
Definitions
Tattoo Establishment: An establishment whose principal business activity, either in
terms of operation or as held out to the public, is the service of applying a mark or
design on or under the skin of a human being by a process of piercing and ingraining
a pigment, dye, or ink in and/or under the skin for a non-medical purpose.
Tattooing: The service of applying a mark or design on or under the skin of a human
being by a process of piercing and ingraining a pigment, dye, or ink in and/or under
the skin for a non-medical purpose.
These definitions are based on the definitions and limitations of Florida Statutes and
are not applicable to the discussion of potential negative impacts.
Permitted in the Following Locations
As set forth by Section 4.3.1 of the LDRs, uses are categorized as “principal,”
“accessory,” and “conditional.” Given that conditional uses can be considered
subjective in nature and the Constitutional protections afforded to tattoos, the
consideration of tattoo establishment as a conditional use has been discarded. For
this analysis, it is important to note that “principal” means a use allowed, by right,
within a zoning district provided that all development regulations are met and that
“accessory” means a use which is otherwise allowed as a principal use but is
subordinate in intensity to other principal uses or which is otherwise identified in the
zoning district as an accessory use only in association with a principal use.
Section 4.3.3 of the LDRs, entitled “Special Requirements for Specific Uses,” sets
forth special requirements for defined uses as a result of their unique characteristics.
P&Z Board Staff Report

LDR Text Amendment – Tattoo Establishments
Page 10
Given the specific concerns which are inherent to the nature of tattoos and tattoo
establishments, a new subsection for Tattoo Establishments is proposed as follows.
Section 4.3.3(ZB) Tattooing and Tattoo Establishments:
Purpose: It is the intent of this section to permit Tattooing and Tattoo Establishments,
which are expressive activities protected by the Constitution, pursuant to reasonable
time, place, and manner restrictions which are narrowly tailored to protect: the unique
character and aesthetic of the City of Delray Beach’s award-winning family-friendly
historic downtown and neighborhoods and renowned beach resort community;
property interests and rights; the public health, safety, and welfare; and the
administration of local laws. [Discussion: Self-explanatory.]
(3) Hours of Operation: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. [Discussion: As previously discussed,
the City has already made findings about potential impacts of late night
businesses. While being a constitutionally protected activity would suggest
equal or more permissive regulations for tattooing, it is even more compelling
to consider that tattooing involves substantial health risks that are not fully
understood by the general public and that recipients would be better served by
making the decision to receive a tattoo during “normal” hours of activity. In this
way, the potential impacts of 24-hour or late-night business can be mitigated
while also protecting the health of citizens.]
(4) Visibility of Tattooing: Tattooing shall not be visible from a public right-of-way,
public land, public open space or any private property open to the public,
including common areas. [Discussion: This proposal is narrowly tailored to
address the potential for public nudity and disturbing the peace violations.]
(5) Accessory Use Regulations.
a. In addition to what may be permitted by specific zoning district
regulations, tattooing shall be permitted as an accessory use within
Medical, Professional, and Business Offices pursuant to all other
provisions of the LDRs.
b. Where a tattoo establishment would otherwise be a permitted principal
use but for the prohibition set forth by Section 4.3.3(ZB)(4), tattooing
shall be permitted as an accessory use pursuant to all other provisions
of the LDRs. For example, tattooing, even as an accessory use, shall
not occupy “Required Retail Frontage.”
c. When permitted as an accessory use, tattooing shall be limited as
follows:
i. 40% or less of GFA.
ii. No exterior signage.
(6) Prohibition by Frequency. Whether allowed as a principal or accessory use,
tattoo establishments and/or tattooing shall be located no more than one per
block, nor within 750 feet of another such use, as measured from lot line to lot
line in a straight line. [Discussion: For both the Prohibition by Frequency and
P&Z Board Staff Report
October 17, 2016
LDR Text Amendment – Tattoo Establishments
Page 11
Prohibition by Proximity, the use of separation requirements is a long-
established court-recognized practice which serves to keep potentially
detrimental uses physically apart from other uses and/or to prevent the
clustering of such uses (Ducker, UNC School of Government, 2014).
Additional expert opinions on the use of separation requirements can be
provided by the American Planning Association, and the practice is employed
in the LDR’s and the land development regulations of many other cities. The
respective distances are already established in the LDRs for other adult-
oriented businesses (alcohol-related, which is also an age restricted activity
with substantial health risks).]
(7) Prohibition by Proximity. No tattoo establishment shall be located within 300
feet of an established school or church.
a. With respect to schools, the 300 feet distance shall be measured from
the nearest point of the building of the place of business, location, or
establishment to the nearest point of the school grounds in use as a part
of the school facilities.
b. With respect to churches, the 300 feet distance shall be measured from
the nearest point of the building of place of business, location, or
establishment to the nearest point of the church building or buildings.
c. The 300 feet distance shall be measured in a straight line.
The specific zoning districts are also proposed to be revised to add Tattoo
Establishment and/or Tattooing to the permitted and accessory uses list, as follows:
• General Commercial (GC – Sec. 4.4.9)
• Planned Commercial (PC – Sec. 4.4.12)
• Central Business District (CBD – Sec. 4.4.13); except for required retail
frontage
• Old School Square Arts District (OSSHAD – Sec. 4.4.24)
[Discussion: Tattoo Establishment and Tattooing involve a commercial service use
that is very comparable to personal services. Since it is a commercial use with
additional specific concerns which are inherent to the nature of the use, it is
incompatible with all of the City’s non-commercial districts. However, Staff believes
it is compatible with most commercial districts. Please note that only Neighborhood
Commercial was omitted because its purpose and intent is to provide “the
opportunity to locate limited retail and service uses in a manner convenient to and
yet not disruptive to residential areas.” The tattoo use was deemed to be too
intensive for inclusion within this district; and, since a limited amount of acreage is
zoned NC, this is not a burdensome restriction. As to the City’s mixed use and
historic districts, the Central Business District and Old School Square Historic Arts
District, while an argument could be made similar to the prohibition of principal uses
on Atlantic and Ocean to prohibit Tattoo Establishment within both districts, it is not
recommended because the exclusion of the entire CBD would be very limiting and
the Old School Square Historic Arts District’s emphasis on art, which the courts have

defined as including tattooing. It may be reasonably defensible to alter this proposal
so that tattooing is only allowed within the CBD and OSSHAD as an accessory use.]
Refer to the full ordinance for additional amendments to other sections of the Land
Development Regulations proposed for consistency with the above referenced
amendments.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission of the City-initiated
text amendment to the Land Development Regulations as presented based upon
the finding that the proposed text amendment is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
C. Move a recommendation of approval, as amended, to the City Commission of
the City-initiated text amendment to the Land Development Regulations as
presented, based upon the finding that the proposed text amendment is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
D. Move a recommendation of denial to the City Commission City-initiated text
amendment to the Land Development Regulations as presented based upon the
finding that the proposed text amendment is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the City-initiated text amendment to the Land Development Regulations as
presented based upon the finding that the proposed text amendment is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and is supported by evidence that tattoo establishments can
have potential adverse secondary impacts and that limiting these effects by imposing
certain restrictions will further the City’s interests.

DATE: November 1, 2016
ORDINANCE NO. 30-16: CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
FROM TRN (TRANSITIONAL) TO GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) AND REZONING FROM NC
(NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) TO GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) FOR THE PROPERTIES
LOCATED AT 4591 AND 4561 WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE. (SECOND READING)
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve on Second Reading, Ordinance No. 30-16, a City-initiated Future Land Use Map
amendment from TRN to GC and rezoning from NC to GC for the properties located at 4591 and
4561 West Atlantic Avenue, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and
finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in
Sections 2.4.5(D)(5), 3.1.1 and 3.2.2 of the Land Development Regulations.
Background:
The subject properties are located on the north side of West Atlantic Avenue approximately 150
feet west of Barwick Road.The combined properties measures 1.532 acres and contain a paint
and home furnishing business known as Benjamin Moore Hessler Painting (4591 West Atlantic
Avenue),and a Check Cashing store (4561 West Atlantic Avenue).The complete zoning history
of the property and analysis of the request is provided in the attached Planning and Zoning
Board Staff Report from the meeting of September 26, 2016.
During the recent review of the proposal to expand Benjamin Moore Hessler Painting,staff felt
that the GC zoning was more appropriate as the subject properties are located along a major
commercial arterial and the parcels are not a gateway to a residential neighborhood.
On August 15,2016,the Planning and Zoning Board initiated on a 6 to 0 vote the Future Land
Use Map amendment from TRN (Transitional)to GC (General Commercial)and Rezoning from
NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to GC (General Commercial).
On September 26, 2016, on a vote of 4-0, the Planning and Zoning Board made a recommendation
of approval of Ordinance 30-16 for the City initiated amendment to the Future Land Use Map from
TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial) and rezoning from NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
to GC (General Commercial) for the properties located at 4591 and 4561 West Atlantic Avenue.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.

TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Timothy Stillings, Planning, Zoning and Building Director
THROUGH: Donald B. Cooper, City Manager
DATE: November 1, 2016
ORDINANCE NO. 31-16: UPDATE TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCORPORATE THE FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION (FIRST READING)
Recommended Action:
Motion to Approve the Planning and Zoning Board’s finding of Consistency of the 5-Year
Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2016-17 through FY 2020-21,and FY 2016-17 Capital
Improvement Budget,and approve on first reading Ordinance No.31-16,and Table CI-CIP,
to update the Capital Improvement Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Background:
The full Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)is a listing of the projects with capital expenditures
over $25,000,which the City plans to initiate over the next five fiscal years.The Capital
Improvement Budget (CIB)is the first year of that plan,to which the City Commission has
committed as part of the adopted annual budget.
The Planning and Zoning Board,acting as the Local Planning Agency,has the responsibility
to review the CIB and CIP annually and issue a statement of consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan.This responsibility is expressed in Capital Improvement Element
Policies A-3.3, A-3.4 and A-3.5.
The entire CIP budget totals $182.43 million for the next five years.The attached CIP
(FY2016-17-FY2020-21)is organized by funds,and then line items.Line items can be
individual projects (i.e.Golf Course Renovation),or annual allocations for repair and
replacement such as “Building Maintenance”or “Vehicle Replacement”.Expenditures on
current projects which are not completed in the current fiscal year will “carry over”into the
next fiscal year.
Review By Others
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the proposed CIP and CIB at a public hearing held
on September 26,2016 and voted 4 to 0 that the CIP and CIB are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan,and recommended to the City Commission approval of the Ordinance
to update the Capital Improvement Element of the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the new
Five Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2016-17 through FY 2020-21.

It is noted that the Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the City Commission on September
20,2016,was modified to exclude the Neighborhood Services Fund,as those projects are
not capital projects and the implementation of each of the line item is not greater than
$25,000.Other line item changes were also approved,but these do not modify the finding of
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan made by the Planning and Zoning Board.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance recommends approval.

Timing of Request:
If passed, a public hearing for second reading and adoption will be held on November 15, 2016.
