Sugerman, Ph.D., Assistant City Manager THROUGH:Chief Neal de Jesus, Interim City Manager DATE:May 16, 2017 2017 LOCAL INITIATIVE (LI) AND TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (TAP) GRANT SUBMITTALS TO THE PALM BEACH COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) Recommended Action: Motion to Approve four (4) supporting resolutions for the grant applications submitted by the City of Delray Beach for the 2017 Local Initiative and Transportation Alternative Programs funded through the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization. Background: The Palm Beach MPO administers two competitive grant application processes annually for the funding of projects located within Palm Beach County. The grant application process typically commences in January, when the MPO posts online application materials. Applications are ranked and recommended for funding by the MPO Advisory Committees and the MPO Board. Scoring criteria is based on the Goals, Objectives and Values of Directions 2040 and the Palm Beach MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan. 2017 project applications to be recommended for funding will be included in the MPO's Project Priority List for Fiscal Years 2019 - 2023 which is anticipated for MPO adoption in mid-2017. The latest Long Range Transportation Plan Directions 2040 carved out future allocations of MPO Surface Transportation funds to be used at the MPO's discretion. As a result, the Local Initiatives (LI) program was created as an annual application process to identify and evaluate potential funding for the better lower-cost, non-regionally significant transportation projects that our communities want and our economies need. Approximately $18 million has been allocated annually to fund projects under the Local Initiatives (LI) Program. Established by MAP-21, the federal Transportation Alternatives Program is a cost reimbursement program where projects are selected by the MPO but administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The program funds on and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities; infrastructure for improving non-driver access to public transportation for enhanced mobility; community improvement activities; environmental mitigation; recreational trail projects; safe routes to school projects; and projects for planning, designing, or constructing boulevards and other roadways largely in the right-of-way of former divided highways. Approximately $3 million has been allocated annually in recent years to fund Transportation Alternative (TA) projects. The deadline for applications to be accepted by the MPO for the LI & TAP Programs was March 3, 2017. Presentations and review ranking should be completed by the MPO in July 2017. The MPO allows until June 16th for the submission of supporting resolutions from applicants.

Sugerman, Ph.D., Assistant City Manager Keith Tomey, Interim Fire Chief THROUGH:Neal de Jesus, Interim City Manager DATE:May 16, 2017 APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO.1 TO THE GAS,CARBON DIOXIDE,(FOOD GRADE) PURCHASE AND DELIVERY TERM CONTRACT WITH AIRGAS USA, LLC Recommended Action: Motion to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Gas, Carbon Dioxide, (Food Grade) Purchase and Delivery Term Contract with Airgas USA, LLC in an amount not-to-exceed $135,000 for the purchase and delivery of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Background: On June 17,2014 the City issued a contract for Gas,Carbon Dioxide,(Food Grade)Purchase and Delivery (Contract),with Airgas Carbonic,Inc.On January 24,2017 the City executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement delegating the Contract responsibilities to Airgas USA,LLC. The Contract is effective through June 16,2017.The City and Airgas USA,LLC have mutually agreed to exercise the first renewal option and add the purchase and delivery of oxygen to the Contract.Amendment No.1 will renew the Agreement through June 16,2018 in an amount not-to- exceed $135,000. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are critical gases to operation of the City’s potable water treatment system as well as life-saving oxygen that is purchased for Fire Rescue. Currently,the Fire Rescue Department pays approximately $20.75 on each “Medical D”oxygen tank refilled,and $28.22 on each “Medical M”oxygen tank refilled.Per year,it is estimated that 600 “Medical D”tanks are refilled,and 84 “Medical M”tanks are refilled,equating to an annual expenditure of $14,820.48.By adding oxygen to this Contract,the cost to refill each “Medical D”and “Medical M”tank will lower to $5 and $15,respectively.This will save the City over $10,500 on an annual basis. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP)has notified Purchasing that they are averaging just over $10,000 per month for the purchase of carbon dioxide,and therefore request an annual spending limit of $126,000.Because the estimated annual expenditure with Airgas USA,LLC is $126,000 for the WTP and $5,000 for the Fire Rescue Department,staff is requesting an annual expenditure amount not-to-exceed $135,000.A contingency fund of $4,000 is requested to accommodate the City’s fluctuating needs of carbon dioxide and oxygen,and to allow the Fire Rescue Department to rent oxygen tanks,as necessary,for $.025 per day.The previously approved spending limit with Airgas USA, LLC for FY2017 was $137,500.

Background: On September 15, 2015, City Commission approved a sole source Purchase Award to Ovivo USA, LLC in the amount of $43,350 for the repairs to the two (2) vacuum filter drive units (eastern and western unit in series) at the dewatering building. The vacuum filter drive units are essential in the production of potable water, as they are critical in processing the lime sludge byproduct. After taking the eastern unit off-line and out of service, Ovivo initiated the repairs. Once the unit was disassembled, it revealed unexpected damage to the internal components. On April 5, 2017, City Commission approved additional repair work in the amount of $41,000 to repair the eastern unit, which consisted of replacing the worm drive, thrust spacers, blind seal plates, the trunnion bearing assembly, valve assembly, and stuffing box assembly. Repairs to the eastern vacuum filter drive are complete and the unit is back on-line. The western unit has now been taken off-line, disassembled and evaluated. Based on this evaluation, Ovivo has submitted a proposal for additional work to repair the western vacuum filter unit in the amount of $50,420, with the scope of work being comparable to the eastern unit. The units are manufactured by Ovivo USA, LLC. (Ovivo), Salt Lake City, Utah. Ovivo is the sole manufacturer and exclusive distributor of EIMCO parts and equipment. The equipment was formerly manufactured by EIMCO Water Technologies. All repair work to the western unit will utilize original equipment manufactured parts.

IN THE AMOUNT OF $163,748.35 FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATED TO THE DESIGN FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF BARWICK ROAD FROM THE SOUTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF LAKE IDA ROAD TO THE NORTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF ATLANTIC AVENUE Recommended Action: Motion to Approve Service Authorization No.12-17 with Wantman Group, Inc. in the amount not to exceed of $163,748.35 for the preparation of design documents for roadway reconstruction of Barwick Road from the southerly right-of-way line of Lake Ida Road to the northerly right-of-way line of Atlantic Avenue. Background: On January 24,2012 the City entered into an Agreement with Wantman Group for general engineering consulting services (RFQ 2016-06).On December 13,2016,Commission approved Amendment No. 4 extending the Agreement through June 30, 2017. The Roadway Reconstruction Project was approved in the Five Year Capital Improvements Plan and funds were appropriated by the City Commission for the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 budget. Specific road segments are selected for reconstruction based on the 2013 Pavement Management System Report which establishes the Overall Condition Index (OCI). This worst section of Barwick Road was rated with an OCI of 31 in 2013. The remaining sections being recommended for reconstruction scored less than 50. Transportation Program staff have recommended that all roadways with an OCI below 42 be considered for reconstruction because they are deemed potentially unsafe for drivers due to the extent of roadway damage. Roadway reconstruction projects will include the design of utility infrastructure improvements (water, wastewater, reclaimed, and stormwater), striping and signing, and lighting plans. The total compensation for the services provided under this contract is anticipated to be in the amount of $163,748.35.

Sugerman Ph.D., Assistant City Manager THROUGH:Neal de Jesus, Interim City Manager DATE:May 16, 2017 APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 IN THE AMOUNT OF $85,008 WITH MBR CONSTRUCTION INC FOR THE BEACH MASTER PLAN PROJECT Recommended Action: Motion to Approve Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $85,008 with MBR Construction, Inc. for the Beach Master Plan (Project No. 15-008). Background: On March 13,2017,the City awarded a contract to MBR Construction,Inc.(MBR)for the Beach Master Plan.On March 20,2017,MBR was given the Notice to Proceed date of April 3,2017.At that time,staff directed MBR to mobilize to the north end of the project to accommodate beach access by the public for this season.MBR has identified an issue concerning the contracted repairs to the existing knee-wall.MBR cannot guarantee that additional rust spots in the knee-wall will not appear at new locations in the future.Therefore,staff along with MBR recommends completely encapsulating the knee-wall in a new concrete reinforced wall. Change Order No.2 is to completely encapsulate approximately 2,800 linear feet of the existing knee -wall in a concrete reinforced cap that is about 4”thick on each side.The proposed design allows for the possibility of a one inch separation of the existing knee-wall from the cap (pending final structural engineering design).This design will effectively prevent any potential rusting of the existing re-bar from penetrating into the new knee-wall cap.Furthermore,the reinforced knee-wall cap will be constructed with galvanized reinforcing steel.The galvanized reinforcing steel will further add an additional layer of protection in the highly corrosive marine environment of the beach. With the addition of a minimum of four inches of concrete on each side of the existing knee-wall, the new dimensions of the knee-wall will be approximately 26” wide by 22” high. This additional height and width will be more accommodating to the public who utilize the knee-wall for exercise, sitting, and enjoying the view. MBR has agreed to provide the City with an extended two-year material and labor guarantee for the proposed capped knee-wall. This proposed solution is based on the contractor's analysis of the conditions along with best management practices. Staff recommends that the City Commission approve Change Order No. 2 to encapsulate the existing knee-wall in the amount of $85,008 with zero additional construction days. This recommendation complies with the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.06(A)(1), " Beyond the Scope of Work".

Background: Under the contractual agreement between the City and the Florida East Coast Railroad, the City is required to place liability and excess liability insurance. The City has two liability insurance policies that renew annually in early June. ·Railroad Crossing Liability ($20,000) ·Railroad Crossing Excess Liability ($8,000) Coverage is placed through the City’s property and casualty insurance broker, Employers Mutual Inc. d/b/a Ascension Benefits and Insurance Solutions. For this renewal, the broker solicited quotes on each policy from four insurance companies known to write these specialized coverages. Each renewal was then awarded to the lowest priced carrier. The carriers’ arrangements with the insurance broker require payment to the broker who then makes payment to the carrier as is customary. As of April 20, 2017, the total amount due is $28,000. By approving the recommended motion, the Commission is recognizing that multiple small and unpredictable purchase decisions that are likely to occur over the course of the year will total over $25,000. This amount of spending requires prior Commission approval under City Code section 36.03(B), "Multiple acquisitions from vendor exceeding $25,000 in any Fiscal Year".

Background: Adapt Pharma,Inc.is the sole manufacturer of Narcan Nasal Spray,which is used by the Police and Fire Departments to treat narcotic overdose in an emergency situation.Although Adapt Pharma has distributors,the manufacturer will sell direct to the City and offers the lowest pricing for Narcan Nasal Spray.The City has spent $23,400 with Adapt Pharma this fiscal year.Based on history of calls responded to by Fire Rescue YTD in FY17,it is estimated that the City will require several small purchases of Narcan Nasal Spray in FY2017. FY 2017 YTD usage equals approximately $7,000 per month. By approving the recommended motion, the Commission is recognizing that multiple small and unpredictable purchase decisions that are likely to occur over the course of the year will total over $ 25,000.00 This amount of spending requires prior Commission approval under the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.03(B), "Multiple acquisitions from vendor exceeding $25,000.00 in any Fiscal Year".

Background: Ms. Mankoff participated in the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) under its Rehabilitation Strategy in March of 2013. Subsidies provided for rehabilitation assistance through the Neighborhood Services Division are secured by a Housing Rehabilitation Agreement. All deferred payment loans require the applicant to maintain ownership/residence for a specified period according to the amount of the grant. Loan amounts less than $35,000 per unit have a recapture period of fifteen (15) years. Ms. Mankoffs' mortgage company has agreed to modify her current loan by reducing the interest rate from 6.375% to 4.750%, decreasing the monthly payment (including insurance and tax escrows) from $596.44 to $402.72 . Also decreasing the total interest to be paid over the term of the loan by $67,779.20. The action before the City Commission is authorization and approval to subordinate its existing second mortgage loan to Ms. Mankoff' new loan, thereby enabling Ms. Mankoff to modify her mortgage to reduce the interest rate and total interest obligation. If approved by the City Commission, the City will continue to be in the second secured position behind the new first mortgage loan. The City’s decision whether or not to subordinate is rendered on a case-by-case basis with the primary objective being “increasing the affordability of housing”. This request maintains the City’s mortgage in second position and allows Ms. Mankoff to refinance the current first mortgage. There is no debt consolidation or cash-out involved in this refinancing; the lower interest rate will increase the affordability of his home which meets the intent of the program. City Attorney Review: Approved as to form and legal sufficiency. Finance Department Review: Finance recommends approval. Funding Source: City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/8/2017Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-447,Version:1 No funding is necessary. Timing of Request: This request is urgent to meet homeowner’s deadline of May 25, 2017 to close on the refinance loan with lender.

It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss in lives; and WHEREAS,knowledge and skills are important in reducing human error and improving judgment. If people are aware of the risk, they are likely to take the precautionary measures to protect themselves and their friends and family; and WHEREAS,that is why we must continue to spread the messages of boating safety not only during National Safe Boating Week but also throughout the entire year; and WHEREAS,on average, 700 people die each year in boating-related accidents in the U.S.; approximately 70% of these are fatalities caused by drowning; and WHEREAS,the vast majority of these accidents are caused by human error or poor judgment and not by the boat, equipment, or environmental factors. A significant number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year would be alive today had they worn their life jackets; and WHEREAS,today's life jackets are more comfortable, more attractive, and more wearable than styles of years past and deserve a fresh look by today’s boating public. NOW THEREFORE, I, CARY D. GLICKSTEIN, Mayor of the City of Delray, Florida, on behalf of the City Commission, do hereby proclaim May 20-26, 2017, as: NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK in the City of Delray Beach.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is the approval of a Class V Site Plan Modification and associated Landscape Plan, Architectural Elevations and Waiver request for 912 Palm Trail, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.5(F)(1)(a). BACKGROUND This project is located on Palm Trail north of George Bush Blvd between McKee Lane and Witherspoon Lane on two separate parcels, and consists of Kenmont First addition lots 8 to 11 inclusive according to plat therof as recorded in plat book 22, page 24 of the public records of Palm Beach. The property consists of 0.953 acres with 13 units and it is currently zoned (RM) Multiple Family. The existing structures were built in 1960. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development proposal consists of the following: • Demolition of the two existing buildings • Construct two fee simple townhome buildings with five units on each separately platted lot. • Each individual unit is three bedroom town home (the under-air square footages for Unit “A” is 3,973 sq. ft., Unit “B” is 4,932 sq. ft. and Unit “C” is 4,052 sq. ft.). All units will accommodate a two-car garage. Each unit will be three stories. • Installation of a 6 ft. aluminum fence with a 3’ x 6’ gate in a bronze finish. • Installation of grade level pools. • Installation of associated landscaping. • Waiver request. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Items identified in the Land Development Regulations (LDR) shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development application/request. LDR Section 4.4.6 RM Zone District: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6; the Medium Density Residential (RM) District provides a residential zoning district with flexible densities having a base of six units per acre and a maximum of twelve units per acre for this property. The actual density of a particular RM development is based upon its ability to achieve certain performance standards which are intended to mitigate the impacts of the increased density and ensure that the project is compatible with surrounding land uses. Further, the Medium Density Residential District provides for implementation of those objectives and policies contained within the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan which call for accommodating a variety of housing types. LDR Section 4.4.6(I) Performance Standards: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(I), the following standards shall apply to all site plans approved subsequent to October 7, 1997, and for modifications to existing developments which involve the creation of additional residential units. In order to increase a project density beyond six units per acre, the approving body must make a finding that the development substantially SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 2/15 complies with the performance standards listed in this section. The intent of the standards is to mitigate the impacts of the additional density both internal and external to the site. The extent to which a project meets the standards will determine the number of units per acre that will be permitted. For example, if a project meets or exceeds all of the standards, and is otherwise consistent with applicable standards and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, the maximum density is permitted. Projects which only partially achieve these standards will be permitted a correspondingly lower density. The performance standards are as follows: The density of the overall development is 10.5 units per acre, which requires a finding of substantial compliance with all applicable Performance Standards since it exceeds six units per acre. The following are the specific Performance Standards with an analysis of each: a) The traffic circulation system is designed to control speed and reduce volumes on the interior and exterior street network. This can be accomplished through the use of traffic calming devices; street networks consisting of loops and short segments; multiple entrances and exists into the development; and similar measures that are intended to minimize through traffic and keep speeds within the development at or below 20 m.p.h. Analysis This performance standard applies to larger developments that include an interior road network. Thus, this performance standard is not applicable. b) Buildings are placed throughout the development in a manner that reduces the overall massing, and provides a feeling of open space. Analysis The proposed three story residential development is designed with a 25’ side setback on each side which reduces the overall massing and provides a feeling of open space between the subject development and the adjacent properties. There is an additional 5’ front setback and interior side setback for the 3rd story which reduces overall massing and provides a level transition from second to third level. The middle unit is staggered 5’ to 8’ from the end unit to help reduce the building frontage size while providing an individual entrance for each residence. Each unit has a functional outdoor area which includes a ground swimming pool, open space and landscape area. Based on the above, a finding of compliance can be made. c) Where immediately adjacent to residential zoning districts having a lower density, building setbacks and landscape materials along those adjacent property lines are increased beyond the required minimums in order to provide a meaningful buffer to those lower density areas. Building setbacks are increased by at least 25% of the required minimum; at least one tree per 30 linear feet (or fraction thereof) is provided; trees exceed the required height at time of planting by 25% or more; and a hedge, wall or fence is provided as a visual buffer between the properties. Analysis The proposed development is surrounded to the north and south by RM (Multiple Family Residential - Medium Density) zoning designated properties; to the west and north by RL (Multiple Family Low Density) and to the east by R-1-A, single family homes, the current land use for surrounding properties varies from 5 to 10 unit condominium developments; the performance standard does not apply to the R-1-A to the east nor the the RL to the north as it is separated by a street and alley. The setback must be increased only on the west side of the north parcel by 25% which would be 31.25’ and the proposal is 25’1”, thus not meeting this SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 3/15 standard. However, there is a 6’ garden proposed along the west side with a lush underground landscaping, a 5’ Podocarapus Hedge and twenty eight 16’ Areca Palms. Therefore, the performance standard partially meets the required setback. d) The development offers a varied streetscape and building design. For example, setbacks are staggered and offset, with varying roof heights (for multi-family buildings, the planes of the facades are offset to add interest and distinguish individual units). Building elevations incorporate diversity in window and door shapes and locations; features such as balconies, arches, porches, courtyards; and design elements such as shutters, window mullions, quoins, decorative tiles, etc. Analysis There are 5’ offsets found at ground level and each townhome has an open air terrace, ground level pool, courtyard, 2 story interior volumes at the front entry’s and varied window shapes and designs. Based on the above, the development proposal complies with this requirement. e) A number of different unit types, sizes and floor plans are available within the development in order to accommodate households of various ages and sizes. Multi-family housing will at a minimum have a mix of one, two and three bedroom units with varying floor plans. Analysis Single family housing (attached and detached) will at a minimum offer a mix of three and four bedroom units with varying floor plans. This will provide opportunities that may be attractive to families. The project consists of five units per building. Yet of the 5 total there are three unique unit plans. Each unit plans unique configuration is based on its unique stair and elevator layout. There are three 2 bedroom floor plans and three upper levels with a bedroom, a club room and an open terrace. Due to square footage size of these units it is impractical to have one bedroom or two bedroom units. Therefore, this performance standard is not applicable. f) The development is designed to preserve and enhance existing natural areas and/or water bodies. Where no such areas exist, new areas which provide open space and native habitat are created and incorporated into the project. Analysis Each of the 5 units per building will have lush landscaped private backyards and private swimming pools. In addition, the middle unit will have a landscape private courtyard. Since this standard is for larger projects, it does not apply to smaller in-fill developments. Therefore, this performance standard is not applicable. g) The project provides a convenient and extensive bicycle/pedestrian network, and access to available transit. Analysis The project is proposing new concrete sidewalks on all three sides of each building; this adds to the bicycle/pedestrian network of the area and enhances the walkability of the neighborhood and the access to the very close A1A. However, this standard pertains to larger developments and not in-fill projects. Therefore, this performance standard is not applicable. SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 4/15 Summary In conclusion, a finding of compliance can be made to (b) and (d) and partially to (c). With respect to (a), (e), (f), and (g) each of the standards is not applicable to the project. Pursuant to section 4.4.6(I)(2), it is acknowledged that some of the above referenced standards may not be entirely, applicable to small infill type residential projects. For those types of projects, the ultimate density should be based on the attainment of those standards which are applicable, as well as the developments ability to meet or exceed other minimum code requirements. LDR Section 4.4.6 (H) (Special Regulations - RM zone district): Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(H)(3) recreational areas shall be required for all new rental apartment developments, and of owner occupied developments which have homeowner associations that must care for retention areas, private streets, or common areas. New developments must include recreational features that are designed to accommodate activities for children and youth of all age ranges. Tot lots are appropriate for toddlers; features such as a basketball court, volleyball court, and open playfields are appropriate for older children. A pool and clubhouse, unless specifically designed for children, is not considered to meet this requirement. Projects having fewer than twenty-five (25) units may be exempted from this standard where it is determined by the approving body that it is not practical or feasible to comply. This development will consist of two buildings of five fee-simple townhouse owner-occupied units. The development will not have a homeowners association as there is no retention, private streets or common areas. As there are only five units per building it is not practical to require a common tot lot or recreation area/swimming pool. It is noted that the proposal includes the construction of individual swimming pools for each unit. There is a City owner pocket park located to the north in the La Hacienda neighborhood that could easily be accessible by bicycle and the beach and downtown is also in walking distance. Based upon the above, compliance with this code requirement has been achieved. LDR Section 4.3.3(O) (Townhouse Design Standards): As described below, the development proposal complies with the design standards for townhouse developments outlined in LDR Sections 4.3.3(O)(4)(a) through (d): a) No more than two townhouses may be constructed without providing a front setback of no less than 4’ offset front to rear. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent a long linear appearance. The front setback for the proposed development is along Palm Trail for both the South and North Parcel. A 10’ off-set is provided for the units located along Palm Trail and additional 8’ for the middle unit. b) No townhouse row shall consist of more than 8 units or a length of 200’. The townhouse row consists of 2 units with one in the middle and is 125’ in length, thus meeting this code requirement. c) Service features, garages, parking areas, and entrances to dwelling units shall, whenever possible, is located on a side of the individual lot having access to the interior street. Walkways should be designed to connect dwelling units with each other and connect each dwelling unit with common open space. SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 5/15 This standard applies to large townhouse developments, and does not apply in this in-fill situation. d) Not less than 25% of the total area, less water bodies, shall be usable open space, either for recreational or some other suitable purpose, public or private. The basis for this standard is to assure that larger residential developments provide adequate recreational amenities. With smaller developments, provision of these amenities is not considered financially feasible, and the required contribution of $500.00 per unit (park impact fee) is considered adequate. It is noted, however, that the South parcel 30.75% of the site will be landscape/open space area and the North parcel 31.17%of of the site will be landscape/open space area. Platting: LDR Section 4.3.3(O)(2) and 5.1.3(A) (Plat required) states that each townhouse, or townhouse type development shall be platted. The plat must be recorded prior to issuance of any building permits, and this is attached as a technical item in Appendix “A.” LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: The following table indicates that the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.3.4(K), as it pertains to the RM (Multiple Family Residential – Medium Density) zoning district: South Parcel Zoning RM (Medium Density – Multiple Family Residential) Required (1&2/3*) Proposed (1&2/3*) Building Setbacks (min.): - Front (east) 25’/30’* 25’-5”/30’-51/2” Interior Side 15’/30’* N/A Side Street (north) 25’/30’* 25’3”/30’1” Side Street (south) 25’/30* 25’2”1/2/30-0” Rear(west) 25-0” 25’-1” Maximum Lot Coverage: 40% 34.11% Open Space: 25% 30.75% Building Height (max.): 35‘ 35’ Minimum Floor Area: 3BR (Unit A) 1,250 sq. ft. 3,973 sq. ft. 3BR (Unit B) 1,250 sq. ft. 4,932 sq. ft. 3BR (Unit C) 1,250 sq. ft. 4,051 sq. ft.

There is an additional 5’ front setback and 15’ interior side setback for the 3rd story. **Performance standards are applied to density requests over the min. six (6) units per acre. LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations: Vehicle Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(2)(c), two or more bedroom dwelling units shall provide two spaces per unit and one-half a space of guest parking. There are a total of five residential units per buildings and fifteen parking spaces are provided. The parking requirement for the site is (10 units x 2 spaces = 20 spaces/guest space 10 units x .05 = 5 spaces. This is an overall requirement of 25 spaces.) The development proposes one standard guest space in front of the two-car garage for each unit. Thus, there is a parking surplus of five spaces for the overall site. Therefore, the parking requirement is met. Pool Setbacks: LDR Sections 4.6.15(G)(1), a minimum ten foot (10’) setback is required for swimming pools located in the rear, interior or side street setback areas. Swimming pools shall not extend into the front setback area noted in Section 4.3.4(K). SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 7/15 The swimming pools are all located in the rear (west side) and side interiors (north and south) the required setback of 10 feet is met. Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(B)(1), when an access way intersects a public right-of-way, triangular areas shall provide unobstructed cross-visibility. The area on both sides of a driveway formed by the intersection of a driveway and a street with a length of ten (10) feet along the driveway, a length of 10’ along the street right-of-way and the third side being a line connecting the ends of the other two lines. Visibility triangles for the three access driveways along the street rights-of-way have been depicted and comply with this LDR requirement. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(B)(2) is the area formed by the intersection of an alley and a street with a length of 10’ along the alley right-of-way, a length of 20’ along the street right of way, and the third side being a line connecting the ends of the other two lines. The north parcel intersects an alley way in which only a 10’ sight visibility is shown on Palm Trail. As a condition of approval, the plans must indicate a 20’ sight visibility on Palm Trail prior to certification. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(B)(6), in all other situations, the area of property located at a corner formed by the intersection of two or more public rights of way with two sides of the triangular area being 40’ in length along the abutting public right of way lines, measured from their point of intersection, and the third side being a line connecting the ends of the other two lines. The south parcel is showing the only required 40’ x 40’ required sight visibility triangle located on the corner of Palm Trail and Witherspoon Lane. The sight visibility triangle located on Palm Trail and McKee Lane and Palm Trail and the north Parcel of Palm Trail and Witherspoon Lane have only proposed 25’ x 25’ sight visibility triangles. Thus the applicant is seeking a waiver from this section of the code. WAIVER ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. The elimination of the 40’ x 40’ sight visibility triangle located at the corner of the property on the south parcel of (McKee and Palm Trail) and the north parcel of (Witherspoon and Palm Trail) for 912 Palm Trail will not negatively affect traffic flow, nor present a danger to vehicular traffic or pedestrians. The property is zoned RM and is adjacent to R-1-A and is not highly traveled. Granting the requested waiver will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create and unsafe situation. This waiver would also be SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 8/15 supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the granting of a special privilege. Subsequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. Right-of-Way: Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(2), the required right-of-way width for a local street without curb and gutter is 60’ and alleys are 20’. The right-of-way width for Palm Trail, McKee Lane and Witherspoon Lane is 50’. At its meeting of February 9, 2017, the Development Management Service Group (DSMG) approved a reduction of the required right-of-way from 60’ to the existing 50’. In addition, August 11, 2016, DSMG granted a 2.5’ reduction for the alley way on the northern portion of this project. Therefore no additional dedication of right-of-way is required. Sidewalk: Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5’ to 8’-wide sidewalk is required along all sides of the street for medium and high density residential Areas. As depicted on the plans, the applicant has opted to build a 5’ wide sidewalk. Undergrounding of Utilities: Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.8, utility facilities serving the development shall be located underground throughout the development. All utilities lines that will serve the subject development shall be placed underground. A condition of approval is attached that a note be added to the plan prior to site plan certification that all service utilities be placed underground. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR section 4.6.16(C)(1)(a), prior to the issuance of a building permit for a structure or a paving permit, compliance with the requirements of Section 4.6.16 shall be assured through the review and approval of a landscape plan submitted pursuant to Section 2.4.3 (C). A landscape plan has been submitted, evaluated and recommended for approval by the City Senior Landscape Planner. The proposed landscaping consists of a mixture of shrubs, trees, and groundcover. The landscaping being provided is more than adequate pursuant to LDR section 4.6.16. There will a minimal removal of trees and the relocation of some sabal and coconut palms. There are proposed trees outside of the property line which will require a landscape maintenance agreement prior to certification of the plans. ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.18(E), Criteria for Board Action, the following criteria shall be considered, by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB), in the review of plans for building permits. If the following criteria are not met, the application shall be disapproved: 1) The plan or the proposed structure is in conformity with good taste; good design, and in general contributes to the image of the City as a place of beauty, spaciousness, harmony, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality. SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 9/15 2) The proposed structure, or project, is in its exterior design and appearance of quality such as not to cause the nature of the local environment or evolving environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. 3) The proposed structure, or project, is in harmony with the proposed developments in the general area, with the Comprehensive Plan, and with the supplemental criteria which may be set forth for the Board from time to time. The development proposal consists of the construction of two three-story townhome buildings with two car garages. There are five units on two separate parcels. The building is a Modern Architectural style with cantilevered balconies, horizontal aluminum bronze finished railings, vertical windows with clear glass and bronze frames. The (vertical accents) will be Resysta Veneer and the columns are a Purtain Gray. The walls are a smooth stucco in Extra White. The design incorporates parapet walls with flat roofs and upper terraces with the middle units containing a courtyard. The two car garages are Resysta Veneer and face the right-of-way with a 20’ x 8’ pool in the required 10’ setback enclosed with a 6’ garden wall and 3’ x 6’ aluminum gate in bronze finish; each wall contains a decorative horizontal bronze finish railing. The proposed architectural elevations present design elements that will contribute to the image of the residential area by introducing a development that will maintain the architectural harmony, compatibility and quality of the neighborhood. It will not cause the nature of the local environment or evolving environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. Based on the above, positive findings with respect to LDR Section 4.6.18(E) can be made. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(F)(1)(a), Class V Site Plan Modification, a new application for development of vacant land, or for modification of a developed property when no valid site plan of record exists and which requires full review of Performance Standards found in Section 3.1.1. Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1, Required Findings, prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following areas: Section 3.1.1 (A), Future Land Use Map: The subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of MD (Medium Density Residential), and is zoned RM (Medium Density Residential). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(B)(3), within the RM zoning district, multiple family structures up to 12 units per acre are allowed as a permitted use, subject to compliance with the performance standards of LDR Section 4.4.6(I). Since compliance with the Performance Standards has been provided, the proposed density increase to 10.5 units per acre is permitted and appropriate. Section 3.1.1 (B), Concurrency: As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of concurrency can be made as it relates to water, streets and traffic, sewer, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, and solid waste. SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 10/15 Section 3.1.1 (C), Consistency (Standards for Site Plan Actions): As described in Appendix B, a positive finding of consistency can be made as it relates to Standards for Site Plan Actions. Section 3.1.1 (D), Compliance with the Land Development Regulations: As described under the Site Plan Analysis Section of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the Land Development Regulations can be made, subject to compliance. Section 2.4.5 (F)(5), Compatibility (Site Plan Findings): The approving body must make a finding that development of the property pursuant to the site plan will be compatible and harmonious with adjacent and nearby properties and the City as a whole, so as not to cause substantial depreciation of property values. Compatibility is not a concern, as similar uses exist on surrounding properties. This multiple family development will be compatible and harmonious with the adjacent and nearby properties and should enhance property values in the area. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable policies and objectives are noted: Future Land Use Element Objective A-1: Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate and complies in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complimentary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs. The proposed two three-story townhome building development is appropriate and consistent with the surrounding area. There are existing multi-family residential developments on the adjacent properties to the north, south and west. Thus, the proposed 912 – 914 Palm Trail development can be deemed a compatible and appropriate use for this site. Housing Element Policy A-12.3: In evaluating proposals for new development or redevelopment, the City shall consider the effect that the proposal will have on the stability of nearby neighborhoods. Factors such as noise, odors, dust, traffic volumes and circulation patterns shall be reviewed in terms of their potential to negatively impact the safety, habitability and stability of residential areas. If it is determined that a proposed development will result in a degradation of any neighborhood, the project shall be modified accordingly or denied. There are existing multi-family residential developments on the adjacent properties to the north, south and west. Nuisances such as noise, odors, and dust will not be a factor to the adjacent residential uses. The traffic volumes will be minimal and can be accommodated by the surrounding road network. Thus, the proposal will not negatively impact the stability of the adjacent residential areas. Housing Element Objective B-2: Redevelopment and the development of new land shall result in the provision of a variety of housing types which shall continue to accommodate the diverse makeup of the City’s demographic profile, and meet the housing needs identified in this Element. Policies, which will implement this objective, include: Housing Element Policy B-2.2: The development of new adult oriented communities within the City is discouraged. New housing developments shall be designed to accommodate households having a range of ages, especially families with children, and shall be required to provide 3 and SPRAB 04-12-17 912-914 Palm Trail Class V Site Plan Modification (2017-001) Page 11/15 4 bedroom units and activity areas for children ranging from toddlers to teens. This requirement may be waived or modified for residential development located in the downtown area, and for infill projects having fewer than 25 units. The project will contain ten 3-bedroom units. Thus, the proposed development complies with this policy. NOTICES The development proposal is not located in an area which requires review by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Pineapple Grove Main Street (PGMS) or West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC). Courtesy notices have been sent to the following homeowner’s and/or civic associations: • La Hacienda • Palm Trail • Seacrest Neighborhood • Beach Property Owners, Association, Inc. • Del Ida Park Association Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the SPRAB meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The property consists of 0.953 acres with 13 units and it is currently zoned (RM) Multiple Family. The existing structures were built in 1960. The development proposal consists of the demolition of the two existing buildings and the construction of two fee simple townhome units on separately platted lots. Each individual unit will be a three bedroom town home (the under- air square footages for Unit “A” is 3,973 sq. ft., Unit “B” is 4,932 sq. ft. and Unit “C” is 4,052 sq. ft.). All units will accommodate a two-car garage and swimming pool with a garden wall. The Modern Architectural style of the multi-family building will be aesthetically pleasing, a visual asset and is compatible with existing multi-family developments on adjacent properties to the north, south, and west. The development substantially meets the performance standards in LDR Section 4.4.6. The applicant is seeking a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.14(B)(1); Sight Visibility. Based upon this report including all findings, the proposed development can be found in compliance with applicable requirements in the Land Development Regulations as analyzed in this report with the recommendation of the waiver request to the City Commission. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B. Move approval of the Class V Site Plan Modification, Landscape Plan, and Architectural Elevations and waiver request for sight visibility for 912 – 914 Palm Trail, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.7(F)(5), LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), Chapter 3, Section 4.6.16, and 4.6.18(E).

Report Prepared by: Jennifer Buce, Assistant Planner APPENDIX A CONCURRENCY FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1(B) Concurrency as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan must be met and a determination made that the public facility needs of the requested land use and/or development application will not exceed the ability of the City to fund and provide, or to require the provision of, needed capital improvements for the following areas: Water and Sewer: Water service can be provided to the site through an existing 6” water main along Palm Trail, McKee lane and Witherspoon Lane. There are also several existing 8” sewer lines throughout the neighborhood which can service the new residential units. The Comprehensive Plan states that adequate water and sewer treatment capacity exists to meet the adopted level of service standard at the City’s build-out population based on the current FLUM. Streets and Traffic: A traffic statement through Palm Beach County Traffic Division was provided on November 29, 20-16 it has been determined the proposal development does not have significant peak hour traffic impact on the roadway network and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Parks and Recreation Facilities: Pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 5.3.2, a park impact fee of $500.00 per dwelling unit will be collected prior to issuance of a building permit for each unit. Based upon the proposed units, a park impact fee of $5,000 will be required. Solid Waste: The subject property will consist of 10 new units. Based on a waste generation rate of 0.52 tons per year for apartment and townhome units, the new units will generate an additional 73.63 tons of solid waste per year will result in a property total of 5.2 tons of solid waste per year. The Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to handle all development proposals till the year 2048. Schools: The Palm Beach County School District has approved the development proposal with respect to compliance with the adopted Level of Service for School Concurrency. Written verification was received on January 31, 2017. Drainage: Preliminary engineering and drainage plans have been submitted with the proposed development. Drainage will be accommodated via an exfiltration trench system. Therefore, there appears to be no problems anticipated in accommodating on-site drainage. Based upon the above, positive findings with respect to this level of service standard can be made. APPENDIX B STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN ACTIONS A.

Existing on site ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is the approval of the following aspects of a Class IV site plan request for Schumacher Automotive Delray, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.5(F): Site Plan; Landscape Plan; and, Architectural Elevations The subject property is located at 1835 Old Dixie Highway on the west side of South Federal Highway, south of Linton Blvd. BACKGROUND ANALYSIS The subject property is a platted parcel of land consisting of 13.85 acres. It is zoned AC (Automotive Commercial) with a GC (General Commercial) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation. Now before the Board for consideration is a Class IV Site Plan to construct a new one-story Subaru Dealership building in the center of the site, to reconfigure parking areas, and to modify the existing Lincoln Dealership building by enclosing one covered drive to create additional office area. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development proposal consists of the following: Construction of a new 9,100 square foot, one-story Subaru Dealership building (BLDG #1400 on the Site Plan) in the center of the site, with an automobile showroom, administrative and sales offices, and automobile service facilities; Reconfiguration of the existing parking areas; Modification of the existing Lincoln Dealership building (BLDG #300 on the Site Plan) by enclosing one service bay to create 490 square feet of additional administrative and sales office area; Landscaping the affected areas. SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ANALYSIS COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development application/request. LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix – Nonresidential Zoning Districts: The following table indicates that the development proposal complies with the applicable development standards of LDR Section 4.3.4(K) and 4.4.10(F) as they pertain to the Automotive Commercial (AC) zoning district: SPRAB Report of April 12, 2017 Class IV Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations for Schumacher Automotive Delray Page 2 AC Required Provided Min. Lot Area (acres) 1.5* 13.85 Min. Lot Width (ft.) 125* 1,204 Min. Lot Depth (ft.) 200* 542 Min. Lot Frontage (ft.) 125* 871 Min. Open Space (%) 25 15.1 Min. Front Setback (ft.) 15 25 Min.

Buffer (ft.) – Dixie 20 0 *Items indicated by an asterisk (*) are specific to lots explicitly for the sale, lease or rental of automobiles or trucks. Three development standards are not met in the proposed site plan: minimum percentage of open space, minimum rear setback, and minimum buffer along Old Dixie Highway. Each of these conditions is an existing non-conformity on the site. The minimum open space requirement (non-vehicular areas) standard is 25%. Currently, the site has 14.3% open space. Under the proposed development, the open space is increased to 15.1%, reducing the existing nonconformity. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(B)(4), “modifications to existing development which results in an increase of 25% of gross floor area…shall be upgraded to present landscape standards.” The proposed building is 9,100 square feet, which is only 6% of the 148,275 square feet of gross developed area of the site; therefore, the site is not required to meet the open space standard or to upgrade the landscaping to current standards. An existing building located in the northwest corner of the site, along Old Dixie Highway has a non- conforming setback. The required setback for this 2,400 sq. ft. building is 10 feet and zero feet exists. No changes are proposed in this portion of the site or to the building. The nonconforming setback is maintained and not increased under the proposal. Pursuant to Section 4.3.4(H)(6)(b)(1), a 20-ft. special landscape setback is required along both Federal Highway and Old Dixie Highway. Portions of the property do not meet this standard along Old Dixie Highway, including the northwest portion with the above-referenced building located on the property line. This area of the site is not part of the proposed redevelopment changes. The existing non- conformity along the northern portion of the Old Dixie Highway will not be increased under the proposal. Supplemental District Regulations: LDR Section 4.6.9 (Parking Requirements): Pursuant to LDR section 4.6.9(C)(3)(f), vehicle sales and rental, shall provide 4 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of total building(s) area, except indoor display areas. Required parking spaces shall be designated for employee, customer and/or service use at the standard of at least 1.5 spaces per service bay and 2 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area (less indoor display area). Any remaining spaces may be used for display purposes. Pursuant to LDR section 4.6.9(C)(5)(b), vehicle, paint, body and repair shops shall provided 4.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The table below depicts the overall number of required parking spaces (482); the portion of the overall required parking designated to serve customer, employee, and service uses; and the parking provided. SPRAB Report of April 12, 2017 Class IV Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations for Schumacher Automotive Delray Page 3 As indicated from the table above, the parking requirement for the overall site is met. LDR Section 4.4.10.G.6 (Lighting Restrictions): Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.10.G.6., when measured 10’ inside any property line, a maximum of 100 foot-candles is permitted within display areas and 40 foot-candles within all other areas. After 11:00 p.m., the illumination in display areas shall be reduced to 50 foot-candles. All light fixtures shall meet the maximum height requirement of twenty-five feet (25’), shall be directed away from adjacent properties, have a sharp cutoff luminary and be confined to the site only. As a photometric plan has been provided that satisfies this requirement, this standard is met. LANDSCAPE PLAN ANALYSIS A Landscape Plan has been submitted and evaluated by the City’s Senior Landscape Planner. The plan provides for parking lot islands, perimeter and building foundation landscaping. The addition of a new building to the site necessitates reconfiguring parking and landscaped areas on the site. Pursuant to Section 4.6.16(B)(4), since the increase of gross floor area on the site is less than 25%, the entire site is not required to be upgraded to present landscape standards. The proposed Landscape Plan includes upgrades to areas beyond the affected areas of the site plan, including adding landscaping along Old Dixie Highway. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(g), interior landscaping within off-street parking areas shall amount to no less than 10% of the total area used for parking and accessways. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(m), up to 25% of the required interior landscaping for parking spaces may be relocated to emphasize corridors or special landscape areas within the general parking area or adjacent to buildings located on the site, if this is helpful in achieving greater overall aesthetic effect. The applicant has provided a Landscape Area Exhibit (Exhibit 1) depicting how the interior landscaping requirement for parking lots is met and which landscape areas are proposed to be relocated. The minimum interior landscaping requirement for the parking area is 37,048 square feet, which is provided. However, certain landscaping features required in parking lots, specifically areas for landscape islands and the five-foot wide landscape strip between parking tiers, are proposed to be relocated. In total, 5,995 square feet of interior landscaping is proposed to be relocated to expand landscape buffer areas. The design results in 14,806 square feet more landscaping in the parking areas than required. However, it is important to note that the overall 25% open space requirement for the site is not met, though the design slightly reduces the existing nonconformity. The Landscape Plan proposes to remove and add tree species. The city evaluates tree removal based upon the condition and size of the species. The applicant has provided an arborist’s report (Exhibit 2) evaluating the existing trees on the site, determining which trees based on city standards are viable and, secondarily, which would survive relocation. The proposed Landscape Plan results in a loss of 119.5 inches of tree caliper on the site. The table below provides the overall tree plan for the site, including calculations for determining mitigation. PARKING SQ. FT.

Based upon the code standards, to mitigate the loss of trees on the site, the applicant is required to pay $48,655 into the City’s Tree Trust fund as a condition of approval of the Landscape Plan. ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.6.18(E) – Criteria for Board Action: The following criteria shall be considered, by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB), in the review of plans for building permits. If the following criteria are not met, the application shall be disapproved: 1. The plan or the proposed structure is in conformity with good ta ste, good design, and in general contributes to the image of the City as a place of beauty, spaciousness, harmony, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality. 2. The proposed structure, or project, is in its exterior design and appearance of quality such as not to cause the nature of the local environment or evolving environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. 3. The proposed structure, or project, is in harmony with the proposed developments in the general area, with the Comprehensive Plan, and with the supplemental criteria which may be set forth for the Board from time to time. Proposed Schumacher Subaru Building (BLDG #1400 on the Site Plan) The proposed architectural elevations reflect the current national Subaru Dealership brand design. The building has a vertical element finished in slate stone. The wall material is finished in metal panels colored “Silver Metallic” and has a high percentage of storefront glass on the South façade. The glazing will be insulated glass and is tinted grey “as required for sun control.” The other three elevations utilize a limestone plaster colored gray. Two covered drives provide access to customer service and have garage doors to secure the space when the business is closed. Modifications to Schumacher Lincoln Building (BLDG #300 on the Site Plan) The plan includes modifications to the existing Lincoln building (BLDG #300 on the Site Plan). Generally, the elevation update removes details that are Mediterranean in origin and adds modern details, which are generally more consistent with the high amount of glazing that exists on the building. One of five covered drives is proposed to be enclosed to create new office space. The remaining four drives will be changed from arched openings to rectangular openings. The main entry to the building is relocated from the east elevation to the north façade. The existing barrel tile, mansard roof is proposed to be removed. The wall will be clad in a ceramic material in a pearl color. Most of the existing glazing is maintained. Details include a new cantilevered “eyebrow” over the second story windows on the east SPRAB Report of April 12, 2017 Class IV Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations for Schumacher Automotive Delray Page 5 and north elevations. The architecture is consistent with the new building proposed for the Subaru dealership. The design will be in harmony with adjacent properties and will not cause the nature of the environment to depreciate in appearance or value. All architectural elevations will be compatible and harmonious with the surrounding properties and an enhancement to the area. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with regard to the criteria listed in LDR Section 4.6.18(E). REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1, prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following areas: LDR Section 3.1.1(A) - Future Land Use Map: The subject property has a FLUM designation of General Commercial (GC) and Zoning District Map designation of Automotive Commercial (AC). The AC zoning district is consistent with the GC FLUM designation. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.10(B)(5), within the AC zoning district, full-service automobile dealerships are allowed as a permitted use and repair shops/garages are allowed as an accessory use. Based on the above, it is appropriate to make a finding with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation. LDR Section 3.1.1(B) - Concurrency: As described in Appendix “A”, a positive finding of Concurrency can be made as it relates to water and sewer, streets and traffic, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, solid waste, and schools. LDR Section 3.1.1(C) - Consistency: As described in Appendix “B”, a positive finding of Consistency can be made as it relates to Standards for Site Plan Actions. LDR Section 3.1.1(D) - Compliance with the Land Development Regulations: As described under the Site Plan analysis of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the LDR can be made when all outstanding items attached as conditions of approval are addressed. Required Findings: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(F)(5), the approving body must make a finding that development of the property pursuant to the site plan will be compatible and harmonious with adjacent and nearby properties and the City as a whole, so as not to cause substantial depreciation of property values. The following table indicates the zoning and future land use designation of the properties surrounding the subject property: Adjacent Zoning Adjacent Land Use North PC (Planned Commercial) Verizon Store South AC (Automotive Commercial) Maroone Nissan Automobile Dealership SPRAB Report of April 12, 2017 Class IV Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations for Schumacher Automotive Delray Page 6 East AC (Automotive Commercial) Grieco Mazda West CF Community Facilities Solid Waste Transfer Station & Miller Field The proposed development on the Schumacher Delray Automotive site will complement the existing fabric of the site, as well as the adjacent South Federal Highway corridor. The proposed improvements will not pose any adverse affects on the surrounding properties. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with regard to LDR Section 2.4.5(F)(5) that the site plan will be compatible and harmonious with adjacent and nearby properties. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of the Comprehensive Plan has been conducted and the following objective is applicable: Future Land Use Element Objective A-1: Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate and complies in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complimentary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs. The proposed construction of a new one-story full service Subaru Dealership with an automobile showroom, administrative and sales offices, covered service drives, customer parking and display parking is similar to the automobile dealership related uses currently existing on-site. There are no known soil, topographic, or other physical considerations associated with the property that would negatively affect the proposed redevelopment. Thus, the proposed improvement is deemed a compatible and appropriate use for this site. Based upon the above, no incompatibility issues exist between the proposed automobile dealership and the surrounding land uses. Thus, a positive finding can be made with regard to Future Land Use Element Objective A-1. Future Land Use Policy A-2.4: Automobile uses are a significant land use within the City and as such they have presented unique concerns. In order to properly control these uses and guide them to locations which best suit the community’s future development, the following shall apply: 4) Automobile dealerships shall be directed to the following areas: North of George Bush Boulevard, between Federal and Dixie Highways; East side of Federal Highway north of the north property line of the Delray Swap Shop/Flea Market; South of Linton Boulevard, between Federal and Dixie Highways; Between the one-way pairs (Federal Highway), from SE 3rd Street to SE 10th Street; and from N.E. 5th Street to George Bush Boulevard; On the north side of Linton Boulevard, between I-95 and SW 10th Avenue, and along Wallace Drive. The subject property is located south of Linton Boulevard, between South Federal Highway (US1) and Old Dixie Highway which is within the identified area. The proposed development furthers the City’s stated policy with respect to directing automobile dealerships to a particular area of the City. SPRAB Report of April 12, 2017 Class IV Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations for Schumacher Automotive Delray Page 7 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The South Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan creates a framework for the future redevelopment of US1 along the south corridor in Delray Beach. The Redevelopment Area includes the commercial property along both sides of South Federal Highway, between Linton Boulevard on the north and the City Limits to the south. The purpose of this plan is to guide and promote the future redevelopment of the area. The Plan, which was developed by the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, was adopted by the City Commission on September 20, 2012. The adopted Plan supports the following applicable initiations relative to the proposed Delray Honda development: The Plan calls for retention and expansion of the AC (Automotive Commercial) zoned properties on the west side of South Federal Highway which consist primarily of Automobile Dealerships and a few vacant properties and nonconforming uses. As such, the proposed Schumacher Automotive dealership is found consistent with the South Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan and associated aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. REVIEW BY OTHERS The development proposal is not located within a geographical area requiring review by the PGMS (Pineapple Grove Main Street), WARC (West Atlantic Development Coalition), HPB (Historic Preservation Board), CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) or the DDA (Downtown Development Authority). Courtesy Notices: Courtesy notices have been provided to the Tropic Isle homeowner’s association. Public Notices: No public notice is required for Class IV Site Plan applications. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The development proposal consists of construction of construction of a new one-story full service Subaru Dealership with an automobile showroom, administrative and sales offices, and customer parking and display parking, as well as modifications to the existing two-story Lincoln Dealership building. These improvements will have no negative affect on the environment or property values in the surrounding area. Upon addressing the attached conditions of approval, the development proposal will be found consistent with LDR Sections 2.4.5(F) and 3.1.1 (Required Findings), as well as applicable policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.

NORTH E x h i b i t 1 1 February 27, 2017 Ms. Tricia Richter, PLA, ASLA Kimley-Horn 1920 Wekiva Way, Suite 200 West Palm Beach, FL 33411 RE: Delray Schumacher Dear Tricia: As you requested, I visited the Delray Schumacher car dealership on February 16 and 20, 2017, to evaluate the existing trees on the site. You provided Tree Disposition Plans dated August 2016 (Sheets L0.00, L0.01, L0.02) and Sheet L0.10 dated 12/16/2016 with trees and palms numbered consecutively from 1 to 287. METHODS I located each of the hardwood trees (palms were excluded) on the plans and identified them by common and scientific name. There are six additional trees that were not on the plans and a marked- up copy of the plans showing their approximate locations is attached. I numbered them consecutively as 288-293. I measured each tree’s trunk diameter at breast height (DBH = 4.5 feet above grade), overall height, and crown spread. I evaluated each tree’s condition using the rating system in Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition (Council of Tree & Landscape Appraisers. 2000. International Society of Arboriculture. Champaign, IL USA. pp. 33-34) to obtain a condition rating by percentage. I evaluated each tree’s potential for successful relocation, and provided relevant comments about each tree. All of these data can be found in the attached spreadsheet. SUMMARY This site is a car dealership with many parking areas, driveways, and frequent vehicle activity. Some trees are larger, older trees and some are young, recently-installed trees. Most are located in small spaces in parking lot medians or islands. The older trees have incurred much damage from vehicles and over-pruning. Many have been struck by vehicles, wounding trunks and surface roots. Most of the larger trees have been pruned many times to top, raise, or thin their crowns, leaving numerous wounds, some of which are significant where large limbs or leaders were removed. Some have been pruned away from lights or buildings. Even the youngest trees have already been over-raised or thinned. Some trees have incurred storm damage including limb rip-outs or partial toppling (leaning). In general, most of the older trees on this site are not in good condition and I have recommended relocation of very few. Many of the younger trees are good candidates for relocation and should readily recover from over-pruning. Exhibit 2 2 DISCUSSION The City of Delray Beach’s Tree Protection Ordinance calls for relocating all trees proposed for removal with a condition rating of 50% or greater. The condition rating system in the Guide (which is the only industry standard percentage rating system I am aware of) rates root health and structure, trunk health and structure, scaffolding limbs health and structure, twig health, and foliage health on a scale of 1 to 4, which are averaged together to obtain a total percentage rating. When assessing a tree’s potential for successful relocation, I consider tree species (some species are inherently more tolerant of relocation than others), size (the larger the tree the more difficult to relocate), condition (if in poor condition a tree is not likely to survive relocation), and location (accessibility for root pruning and other operations), as all are integral to not only survival, but also the tree’s ability to thrive. Receiving sites are also important factors to be considered, especially for the larger trees and this should be taken into consideration when you finalize your Tree Disposition Plans. In my professional opinion, tree condition alone is not sufficient to determine whether or not a tree is a good candidate for relocation, as it does not take into account species, size, location, or receiving site. In my data you will see that I have recommended against relocating many trees with a condition rating greater than 50%. The comments about each tree should provide some of the reasons for those recommendations. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I have evaluated 169 hardwood trees at Delray Schumacher car dealership and recommend relocation of 59 of those trees, most of which are smaller, younger trees. These recommendations are based on tree species, size, condition, and location. Thank you for calling on me and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional assistance. Sincerely, Lisa H.

Atlantic Avenue (Rok Brgr) Individually Designated, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H) and a recommendation to the City Commission regarding a waiver request to LDR section 4.6.7(E)(7) Design Standard Matrix a wall sign not facing a dedicated street frontage. BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 6, Block 69, Town of Delray. The site is zoned Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) and contains a masonry vernacular style building which is considered a contributing building within the Old School Square Historic District. Constructed in 1910 by the Rhoden family, early Delray pioneers, the building served as a general store and grocery store while the family lived in the apartment above. It is the oldest remaining, contributing building on Atlantic Avenue. Over the years there have been numerous modifications to the building including rehabilitation of the structure to comply with the Delray Beach Design Guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The current proposal relates to the portion of the building formerly occupied by Tryst. In 1988, a blanket sign program was approved for four flat wall signs in rust brown, background ivory border 7’ 11” in length and 2’ heigh as this is a multi-tenant building which consists of Rok BRG, Bull Bar, Jimmy’s Bistro, and retail. Any deviation from the established Blanket Sign Program must result from action by the Historic Preservation Board. In 2000, Historic Preservation Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for a sign for the tenant Safari Steakhouse and again in 2004, for a sign for the tenant Sol Kitchen. Attached is the current request to amend the Blanket Sign Program and the justification for the sign waiver. The request on the north elevation is grey painted letters with red internally illuminated reverse channel letter that reads “ROK BRGR” The sign is 2’58” high by 7’66” wide for a total of 19’76” sq. ft. The west elevation consists of internally illuminated channel letters that reads “ROK BRGR” with the rest of the words “Craft Beer” “Burgers” “GastroPub” painted white. The sign is 11” high by 32’6” long for a total of 29’6” sq. ft. ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Future Land Use Element Objective A-4: The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the preservation of historic resources. The objective shall be met through continued adherence to the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance and the following policies: Policy A-4.1: Prior to approval or recommending approval of any land use or development application for property located within a historic district or designated as a historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a finding that the requested action is consistent with the provisions 4 E. Atlantic Avenue (2017 – 73, 74) HPB Meeting; Page 2 of 4 of Section 4.5.1 of the Land Development Regulations relating to historic sites and districts and the “Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines.” In addition to the above, the request also requires compliance with the regulations pertaining to signage. These regulations have been included within the discussion and analysis below regarding visual compatibility. LDR Section 4.6.7(D) Aesthetic Qualifications: (1) Applicability: The following subsection describes basic aesthetic qualifications which apply to signs. (2) Basis: The aesthetic quality of a building, or the entire neighborhood, is materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to the architecture of the building or the adjacent surroundings. In addition, to the limitations on signs imposed on Subsections (E) and (K), the following aesthetic considerations must be met. a. Garishness: The overall effect of lettering, configuration or color of a sign shall not be garish. “Garish” signs are those that are too bright or gaudy, showy, glaring, and or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation. Garish signs are not in harmony with and are not compatible with the building or adjacent surroundings. b. Scale and Conformity with Surroundings: The scale of the sign in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building on which it is to be placed or painted and the neighborhood or streetscape where it is to be located. Scale be considered in terms of Subsection (E)(2) with respect to height and area. c. Quality: All signs shall have a professional appearance that enhances the visual aesthetics of the area. STAFF COMMENT: Although the proposed signage does not meet the criteria of the current Blanket Sign Program, the proposed signage is not garish nor is it gaudy. It is in in harmony with the scale of the building and its surrounding area and is aesthetically pleasing to the neighborhood. The current blanket sign program is outdated and the owner of the building should consider an update to the entire program to meet the needs of the tenants in the future. Therefore, positive findings, can be made with respect to the subject LDR Section 4.6.7(D). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.7(F)(2)(a), Blanket Sign Program, a Blanket Sign Program may be required for a commercial property establishing the font, color, size and location of signs on a multiple tenant building. A Blanket Sign Program shall be approved by the Historic Preservation Board if the project is in the historic district or a historically designated site. After approval of a Blanket Sign Program individual signs consistent therewith shall be administratively approved. STAFF COMMENT: The proposed sign does not meet the current Blanket Sign Program as it requires unified signage, with specific finishes, fonts, sizes, and colors. As stated above, the Blanket Sign Program is outdated, and it might be in the best interest of the owner of the building to update the Program to accommodate any future tenants as this building is a multi-tenant building with several restaurants, commercial use and office space upstairs. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.7 (E)(7), Design Standard Matrix, the following matrix sets forth the standards for various types of signs when located in various zoning districts or defined by use. Per LDR Section 4.4.24(F), the following locations shall be subject to the development standards of the Commercial Core (CC) within CBD zoning District, excluding exceptions to the height limitations provided in Section 4.3.4(J)(4):(a) Lots 1-7, Lots 16-18 and 19-24 Block 69. In the 4 E. Atlantic Avenue (2017 – 73, 74) HPB Meeting; Page 3 of 4 Central Business District (CBD) one wall sign per business facing a dedicated street frontage is allowed. The applicant has applied for signage interior to the restaurant space, therefore requiring a waiver to LDR section 4.6.7(E)(7). Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), Waivers: Findings, the granting body shall make findings that, (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. The applicant has provided a justification for the waiver in the attached letter. The granting of this waiver will not adversely affect the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities and is not creating an unsafe situation. The signage is complimentary to the building and coordinates with the signage on the north elevation. Several waivers have been granted for wall signs not facing dedicated street frontage such as Chase Bank, Burger King and Delray Boxing. LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(5) and 4.5.1(E)(8) provide guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable guidelines are as follows: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), a historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. STAFF COMMENT: No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts; however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving “character-defining” and distinctive features, and discussing scale and compatibility within historic districts such as the following Standard: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. (Standard 9) The intent of this Standard has been met as the integrity of the historic building will not be compromised. Therefore, positive findings can be made, subject to the recommended revisions. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Amend Blanket Sign Program A. Continue with direction. 4 E.

Letter of Intent Dear Client: PFM Financial Advisors LLC (“PFM”) is pleased to submit our proposal to continue serving the City of Delray Beach (the “City”) as the City’s financial advisor. PFM’s roots go back over 40 years. From the outset, PFM has strived to be a financial advisor that is very different from our competitors; an independent financial advisory firm with technical resources matching those of the most sophisticated Wall Street investment banks. Local governments around the nation have responded to the focus, resulting in PFM being the financial advisor Thomson Reuters ranks #1 in the nation as well as the State of Florida in terms of overall issues and par amount as of 12/31/2016. PFM’s independence is significant, but it is just the beginning of our qualifications. We believe PFM is the City’s best choice to continue serving as its financial advisor because of the unique qualifications of both our firm and project team, allowing us to provide the City with the highest level of service in the industry. Several of PFM’s key attributes whereby we seek to add value to clients are included below for the City’s consideration: • Scope of Services: PFM provides decades of traditional financial advisory experience along with a broad range of complementary services including: bond pricing; long term capital planning; public/private partnerships and strategic consulting assistance with budgeting, workforce management, and pension issues (provided by PFM Group Consulting LLC). In addition, as part of the PFM Group of companies, our asset management affiliate, PFM Asset Management LLC (“PFMAM”), is able to contribute expertise on investment management, escrow structuring, arbitrage rebate, and structured products.1 1 PFM, PFMAM, and PFM Group Consulting LLC services are offered pursuant to this RFP, but would be delivered under separate agreements. 3 • A Leading Advisor to Florida Cities Combined with Sector Expertise: PFM currently (as of January 1, 2017) serves as financial advisor to over 100 Florida municipalities, including: Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Clermont, Coral Gables, Coral Springs, Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Leesburg, Marco Island, Melbourne, Miami, Miami Gardens, Orlando, Ormond Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Panama City Beach, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Riviera Beach, St. Petersburg, Stuart, Surfside, Tallahassee, Town of Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and Winter Park. We have in‐depth knowledge of the issues facing local governments in today’s economy through our work with these entities on a day‐to‐day basis. PFM is an industry leader in areas of specific relevance to the City of Delray Beach. PFM offers a full‐spectrum of services on the issues the City is currently facing or may consider as future priorities. • Innovative Team Approach: We believe advising the public sector carries with it a sacred trust, and our 40+ year reputation is built upon our recommendations and ideas. PFM goes beyond traditional transaction management to incorporate our professionals’ expertise with long‐term financial planning, sophisticated model development, credit rating enhancement strategies, and pricing analysis to advice on the City’s unique financial considerations, as well as reduce financing costs and risks in ever‐changing markets. PFM’s team is led by Managing Director James “Jay” Glover who has been among the most active public finance professionals in Florida during the last 16 years. The City also will have access to specialists in PFM’s Pricing Group, Environmental Finance Group, as well as PFMAM’s Investment Management and Structured Products Groups, as needed. • Municipal Advisor Regulation under the Dodd‐Frank Act: Unlike investment banking firms that serve as both underwriter and financial advisor, PFM serves exclusively as a financial advisor and has a fiduciary relationship with our clients, avoiding potential conflicts of interest. Your PFM contacts have successfully obtained their MSRB Series 50 license and are registered Municipal Advisors. Additionally, PFM maintains a compliance program to monitor activities within the requirements as set forth under SEC and MSRB regulation to serve as the City’s Municipal Advisor. 5 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 I.

The core financial advisory services will be provided by PFM Financial Advisors LLC out of the Orlando office and will consist of bond or loan‐transaction management, debt‐portfolio optimization, capital planning, revenue forecasting and evaluation, debt and financial policy development, among other services.

Awards, certifications, or other related recognition. PFM’s national reputation and consistent growth are evident in our ranking as the nation’s top financial advisor in terms of number of transactions and par amount for 19 straight years (source: Thomson Reuters).

Additionally, to avoid any doubt, we have also included the recent article from The Bond Buyer (municipal industry standard publication) that further cements the fact. We recognize that rankings on their own are only statistics, and as such very much encourage the City to contact other municipalities, participants, and professionals to get a deeper sense of the PFM professionals that would be assigned to the City.

We provide a forum for ideas, an environment for testing conventional wisdom, and a platform for forging performance‐improving strategies.

When serving as financial advisor, PFM takes an all‐encompassing approach, ensuring that our clients’ best interests are taken into account during each step of the bond issuance process.

Within this section we provide a detailed description of this approach and how it benefits each of our clients. Creating the Optimal Team PFM’s flexible project‐oriented approach to staffing engagements enables us to bring the proper mix of resources and experience to a client’s issue or transaction. This may mean bringing together several members of the same advisory practice or it may entail organizing a team from several different practices and offices. Our specialized project teams ensure that our clients receive complete and thorough advice directly from the PFM professionals most appropriate for their particular needs. This approach fosters creativity and innovation between PFM professionals and clients. First, we designate specific team roles and responsibilities. Second, we marry these roles according to professional expertise needed to meet the scope of services. The core team proposed to serve the City is built upon a foundation of senior professionals located in our Orlando office. These individuals advise regional issuers and 16 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 jurisdictions within the State of Florida. Together, they offer a mix of expertise in Florida public finance and the professional skills needed to advise a client such as the City. Plan of Finance Development The development of the most cost‐effective financing plan available — as outlined in the table below — is a key strength of PFM. Throughout the course of the financing process, PFM will compile a set of the City’s unique attributes that we believe will prove valuable in our negotiation with other market players for the best‐available terms for the City. Plan of Finance Action Objective(s) 1. Develop Financing and Debt Objectives Review consistency with formal written debt policies and procedures. Set parameters for measuring and making specific financing decisions. Demonstrate sophisticated financial management. 2. Prepare a Debt Profile Update comprehensive review of all outstanding indebtedness. Identify potential cost savings and other beneficial debt strategies. 3.

Formally recommend optimal financing plan and solution. 17 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 Transaction Management Process As the plan of finance is refined, PFM will begin to lead the financing team through the transaction management process, as outlined in the table below: Transaction Management Action Objective(s) 1. Develop and Monitor Schedule Serve as a plan for timely completion of financing. 2. Analyze Debt Structure Alternatives Design a debt structure that maximizes market interest and future financing flexibility while consistent with debt policy. 3.

Assist with Bond Closing Review complete compliance with all market and regulatory requirements. 18 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 This timetable outlines an example of the steps employed by PFM to facilitate the sale and marketing of a current public offering of debt. PFM serves as the quarterback of the financing team and coordinates the entire process. The value added by PFM during each phase of the transaction results in the City achieving the lowest overall borrowing cost available. As PFM works with the City’s team to develop a plan of finance and then move forward with a financing strategy, there are several key elements that are considered. Of significant importance is the time that goes into the preparation of documents to meet needs of both policy and credit structure. As documents are prepared for a public debt offering, City staff and PFM will work together to ensure the initial ratings package is complete and provides sufficient detail regarding the credit strength, project significance, and management strengths to garner the highest possible credit rating that is warranted. A similar approach exists for bank loans, but the credit process is specific to each potential bank instead of an offering document that is required for a bond transaction. Timing of the bond sale will incorporate consideration for the primary issuance debt calendar, planned release of economic data, and general interest rate levels. If the City is issuing refunding bonds, PFM, in consultation with our investment management affiliate, PFM Asset Management LLC, can assist the City in the implementation of the 19 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 optimal escrow structuring strategy (highest yield on escrow investments net of costs, to increase realized savings), and time the funding of the escrow to reduce negative arbitrage without a pricing penalty. If a bank loan financing is deemed optimal, PFM will work with City staff to support scheduling the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) release and approval/closing dates seeking to optimize the financing’s attractiveness to potential bidders, and to allow for multiple terms and conditions to be evaluated. In the selection and approval process, PFM will outline clearly the risks and benefits of the different financing options proposed, and make a recommendation based on what alternative best meets the City’s objectives. Bond Pricing When pricing bonds, PFM offers the City a unique blend of Wall Street knowledge, technical resources, and an independent, local fiduciary perspective. As indicated in the chart to the right, PFM is the most active financial advisor in the country, and is a more frequent market participant than even the largest investment banking firms. One of PFM’s greatest strengths is our in‐ house Pricing Group: a dedicated group of advisory professionals whose job is to follow primary and secondary municipal market activity and to interact with the underwriters’ desks on behalf of our issuing clients. The group is located in our Charlotte, North Carolina office. We are in the market on behalf of our clients an average of three times a day, and this constant presence gives us significant advantage over other firms when it comes to bond pricing. Our size and market presence give PFM the knowledge of a major investment bank with the independence of a financial advisor. The sole responsibility of our Pricing Group is to provide our clients with the analytics, market knowledge, and insight to obtain the best available interest cost for their transactions. PFM’s dedicated team of pricing professionals provides clients throughout the country with centralized access to market information and trends, including coupon structures, call option valuation, and spread relationships — this helps ensure that our clients receive the best possible pricing for their bonds given current market conditions. 2016 Full Year Overall Long Term Municipal New Issues PFM vs Underwriters Municipal Financial Advisory vs Underwriter Ranking Full to Each, Equal if Joint Financial Advisor; True Economics to Each Bookrunner Source: Thomson Reuters PFM 1,197 Bank of America Merrill Lynch 518 Citi 529 J P Morgan Securities LLC 403 Morgan Stanley 388 Wells Fargo & Co 326 RBC Capital Markets 717 Stifel Nicolaus & Co Inc 1,019 Raymond James 802 Barclays 128 74,676.8 65,916.1 48,895.9 41,510.2 33,894.3 26,086.4 23,608.9 18,821.9 17,775.4 17,063.4 dollars in millions# transactions 20 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 Furthermore, the Pricing Group’s constant presence in the municipal bond pricing process helps foster professional peer‐to‐peer relationships with underwriting desks, as well as a better understanding of the internal workings of the underwriting process at the underwriters. PFM couples this market knowledge with our own proprietary analytical pricing tools (e.g., Option Adjusted Spread analysis) to develop our own pricing targets, independent of and before the presentation of the underwriting team’s consensus scale. Whether a negotiated or competitive sale, PFM’s role simply is to seek the best results available. This includes structuring, marketing, and pricing a transaction. Regardless of the choice of a negotiated or competitive sale, we will run the numbers and prepare the sensitivity analyses necessary so that the City has an independent evaluation of the pricing. Post‐Issuance Reporting/Compliance After each transaction, PFM customarily prepares a financial advisory report, providing clients with a summary of the transaction including the financial alternatives considered, the financial impact of the transaction, and a comparison to similar deals that priced within the same timeframe. Part of this post‐sale analysis includes detailed information regarding the pricing performance of the bond sale. This detailed analysis includes a review of the City’s prior transactions, other transactions in the market that priced within the same timeframe, and a summary of the pricing in comparison to the pricing model. PFM will compile this information for the City as part of the “Financial Advisor’s Report,” and also will identify the on‐going administrative requirements over the life of the transaction. 21 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 iii.

APPROACH AND CAPACITY i. Provide a detailed narrative description of the proposed approach and methodology for engaging with City representatives while in the course of performing the duties, including, but not limited to, the following: On pages 15‐20 of this RFP response, we have provided a detailed description of our approach to providing financial advisory services starting with the development of the plan of finance through post issuance compliance. In this section we will provide additional information as it relates to PFM’s approach to the credit rating process. One of the main tasks of the City’s financial advisor is to work with the City to obtain, maintain, or improve its credit ratings. As a result of our experience advising hundreds of clients each year on the issuance of tax‐exempt securities for a wide range of purposes, PFM has developed a clear understanding of the analytical methods utilized by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”), and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). Our professional staff is trained to conduct in‐depth credit analyses comparable to the rating agencies, so that both credit strengths and weaknesses can be identified by the issuer prior to the presentation of materials to rating analysts. This experience has been utilized effectively to improve the credit ratings assigned to communities across the nation, as well as to maintain credit ratings during the recent economic turmoil. PFM has particular expertise as it relates to assisting Florida clients with the credit rating process. For decades, credit ratings for Florida issuers were handicapped by rating agencies’ predisposition against tourism‐heavy economies and high‐growth regions. Rating agencies overvalued large, manufacturing‐based economies, even as the national economy was moving to more of a service‐based economy. However, the reforms of the Dodd‐Frank Act required the rating agencies to review internal policies and publish new rating criteria. PFM’s position as a market leader led the rating agencies to consult with us as they developed the new criteria. Provided on the next page is the Moody’s General Obligation Rating Scorecard analysis based on their revised criteria that PFM has prepared for the City using information garnered from the 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”), which provides a clear picture of the City’s credit strengths and weaknesses. 29 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 As shown in the table above, the majority of the City’s metrics fall within the Aaa and Aa range, which demonstrates that the City’s financial profile shows no major material weaknesses. The City has a stable tax base that is projected to grow moving forward and healthy reserve and liquidity levels. The institutional framework score (standard statewide score) reflects the fairly diverse revenue structure of Florida cities that rely primarily on property and user taxes. Also given the 10 mill property tax limit, the City has significant ability to raise taxes within the statutory limit. On the expenditure side, public safety is the bulk of the cost along with rising fixed costs associated with pensions and healthcare. In terms of debt, the City's net direct debt burden remains manageable but could increase given the City’s proposed capital improvement program. When you combine all of the credit factors, it equates to a very strong Aa1 credit rating indication from Moody’s. As you know, S&P rates the City AAA. One of stated goals as we work with the City will be to get a Moody’s upgrade to Aaa as well.

Provide summary of Proposers understanding, based upon firms research of the issues and concerns over the next five years. Like most local governments, funding needed capital projects was a secondary priority during the recent economic downturn. As a result, the City is faced with a backlog of needed capital projects related to streets, sidewalks, public buildings, parks, storm water and other public infrastructure with limited sources (and competing priorities) to fund them. This is complicated by the fact that the City Commission has a stated goal of not increasing (and potentially reducing) the property tax millage rate. In order to fund these needed capital projects the City is going to need to look at creative financing solutions as well as identify ways to grow and diversify its revenue base. PFM’s financial advisory team, working in conjunction with our Management and Budget Consulting affiliate, has a demonstrated track history of working with local governments facing similar issues. Provided below is more detail on recent, relevant work performed by PFM to assist issuers with similar concerns. In addition, on pages 37‐38 we provide details on how the City might maximize usage of its capital sales tax revenues recently approved by County voters to fund capital projects. The Management and Budget Consulting team, operating as part of our affiliated PFM Group Consulting LLC, has a proven track record in delivering positive financial and budgetary results for communities across Florida, and across the nation. Financial and budgetary analysis represents one our core strengths. We partner with our clients to identify and capture revenue generating, cost recovery, and expenditure reduction opportunities. Further, we have the breadth of experience and depth of expertise to address almost any operational challenges or special projects that our clients may face. Our efforts have resulted in literally billions of dollars of improvements to the bottom lines for state and local government throughout the country. Our team also possesses deep expertise in creating multi‐year budget projection models and long‐range financial/capital plans. We develop specialized dynamic financial models in‐house that are tailored to the individual needs of each client and assignment. These include multiple forms of cash flow models, financial and capital planning models, non‐tax revenue projection models, workforce salary and benefits projection models, cost allocation models, privatization and business valuation models and fleet utilization models. Our customized models, created with transparent and reasonable assumptions, often serve as the analytical underpinning for financial studies and analyses we develop for our clients. Past engagements in Florida include a non‐tax revenue study completed for St Johns County as well as an evaluation of potential off‐beach parking revenue opportunities. For this most recent off‐beach parking assignment, PFM developed a parking revenue projection model that forecasted parking revenue across multiple scenarios, accounting for differences in rate structures, fluctuations in visitors to the County’s beaches, and 31 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 implementation approaches (e.g., contracted‐out to a vendor vs. in‐house service delivery). It also included a written report that contains historical budgetary analysis of the County’s beach services fund, benchmarking results from research on approximately 80 Florida jurisdictions, a discussion of the most appropriate parking technologies for the County, as well as a recommended parking rate structure and multiple financial projections. This is just one example of how PFM partners with our clients on non‐traditional projects to help eliminate a general fund subsidy, thus freeing up funding for alternative uses. Elsewhere in Florida, we worked with the City of St. Augustine to build a customized multi‐year budget projection model, and have previously delivered similar tools to the Cities of Coral Springs, Doral, and Miami. PFM's long‐ range budget planning model contains functionality to quickly create dynamic “what if” scenarios based on changes to underlying inputs or the incorporation of cost saving/revenue generating initiatives. The model also includes a debt affordability module and rating agency scorecard that highlights the impacts of debt issuance on the City’s financial position. As part of our engagement with the City, we are also performing a high‐level review of non‐tax revenue enhancement opportunities, which can be layered into the budget projection model as initiatives. PFM possesses the capacity and resources to execute a vast array of special projects for the City if requested. We are budget and finance professionals with a wide breadth of operational knowledge and expertise, focused fully on the public sector. Whether the City requires assistance in multi‐year planning, an operational review of a department, or support in collective bargaining, PFM's Management and Budget Consulting team has the breadth of experience and in‐depth expertise to successfully execute a multitude of special projects for the City. Sample special project engagements may include: • Multi‐Year Financial Plans • Budgeting for Outcomes • Fee and Cost Recovery Studies • Tax Policy Analysis • Capital Planning Process Improvement • Public‐Private Partnerships • Operational Reviews of City Departments • Performance Measurement/Management • Compensation Analyses and Benefits Reviews • Overtime Studies • Collective Bargaining Support and Expert Witness Testimony • Retirement Finance Reviews & OPEB Modeling • Health and Human Services Consulting (performance review and compliance) 32 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 iii. Provide three innovative financing techniques which have been developed and/or implemented in connection with previous engagements. Include a brief description of project type, project size, financing concept considered (regardless of final method used), as well as brief comments concerning the concepts’ applicability to the City's financing needs. PFM has been at the forefront of most innovations and leading market evolutions, but always views new options with an extra level of scrutiny to make sure clients understand the advantages and disadvantages of these new products. PFM’s philosophy is that innovations should not be pursued purely for the sake of creativity. Rather, new tools should be developed to address challenges faced by our clients. Provided below are examples of innovative financing techniques that PFM has helped craft and implement. City of Panama City Beach, Florida The City of Panama City Beach (the “City”) has long been a family beach destination; known for its sugar ‐ sand beaches. Over the years, the basic infrastructure along the oceanfront deteriorated to the point where the City created a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to aid in eliminating the blight. The City developed a simple, yet comprehensive strategy for developing basic infrastructure so that the prime location could “sell itself.” In the early years before the Tax Increment revenues grew, the City focused on enhancing water and sewer capacity and service levels and developed a consensus among the community leaders regarding transportation, parking and beach access. The final Redevelopment Plan incorporates a complete reconstruction of the primary roads and access roads to enhance efficient circulation, beachside parking and transit at an estimated cost of over $300 million. The City’s year‐round population is only 5,000 and the City does not levy property taxes, so there is limited ability to fund the projects. PFM was retained to develop a strategy to implement the financing component of the Redevelopment Plan. During the first four years of the CRA, massive redevelopment of dilapidated hotels and condominiums resulted in growth in tax increment revenues to over $10 million. While this cash flow is significant, it is almost impossible to obtain investment grade ratings and bond insurance for start‐up tax increment financings. The fact that the City is located on the Gulf of Mexico, and thus has risks associated with severe weather events, complicated the credit review as well. PFM worked with staff and legal counsel to develop a blended credit comprised of special assessments and tax increment revenues in order to enhance the credit to the point where bond insurance could be obtained. We developed financing documents that provide a double barrel pledge of tax increment revenues and assessments. No assessments were levied for the initial financing, but the financing documents allow for assessments to be added in the future. If assessments are added pursuant to specified criteria, they can be used to offset debt service almost dollar for dollar. The documents are structured so that the assessments must be authorized to count as security for the financing, but only 10% of the maximum 33 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 assessment has to be levied. This enables the City to obtain almost 100% leverage off of tax increment revenues instead of having 150% to 200% coverage often required for this type of financing. Even with strong leverage, the City obtained an “A” credit rating, which is extremely rare for a new CRA. This structure will enable the City to complete the projects in as little as 5 to 7 years instead of the 30 years that would have been required for a pay‐as‐ you‐go program. City of Pompano Beach, Florida PFM assisted the City of Pompano Beach and their East District Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) with the development of a five‐year capital improvement plan, as well as with the issuance of their first financing transaction through a two‐ component (taxable and tax‐exempt) $20 million bank loan. One of our first tasks for the CRA was to evaluate their capital improvement and implementation plans in order to develop a detailed financing plan that could be introduced to the Commission and CRA Board. Upon reviewing the Capital Improvement Plan needs, PFM quickly assessed two key items: the tax‐exempt eligibility of the projects and the ability to stagger the timing of the financings in order to minimize the impact of debt service in the first year while projects were still coming on‐line. PFM worked with the City, the CRA, and the other members of the financing team through the following steps: • Detailed multi‐year Plan of Finance • Board memorandums and presentations to communicate the plan of finance to policy makers • Request for Proposals for interested lenders • Negotiated borrowing terms with the selected bank • Review of the Bond documents Because the plan of finance could be most efficiently implemented through two financings that would occur several months apart, PFM wanted to ensure that the CRA (1) had access to capital when the project scheduled dictated and (2) had a borrowing in place that could be drawn upon at a reasonable cost at a future date. To this extent, PFM developed a multi‐pronged plan of finance. The first borrowing was implemented so that all of the known tax‐exempt projects were funded at closing. The second financing was structured in such a manner that the CRA had the ability to draw from one of two Lines of Credit. Due to the early stage of the project negotiations for the second piece, it could not be determined whether the project would be taxable or tax‐exempt eligible. Therefore, the Lines of Credit were established – with no ongoing “carry” cost – to be drawn at a later date. The agreement with the lending bank detailed that at the point a draw was made on the line, the CRA could simply 34 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 notify the bank as to whether the draw would be considered taxable (drawn from the taxable line) or tax‐exempt (drawn from the tax‐exempt line). Using this methodology the CRA was afforded future flexibility while it continued to negotiate agreements with other private developers. PFM was also asked by the City to evaluate different security and tax structures for bonds that would fund the construction of a municipal parking garage, which would be a part of the City’s pier development project. PFM ran various scenarios for the City, including sizing the bonds as taxable, tax‐exempt, and 50% taxable / tax‐exempt treatment. Eventually, the bonds were deemed by counsel to be 100% taxable, and thus PFM moved forward on that assumption. PFM also contemplated the use of the assumed security structure, which at the time was a pledge of the forecasted net revenues of the parking garage. Recognizing that this structure was unlikely to provide the City with the best pricing and perhaps not an investment grade credit rating, PFM suggested structuring the issuance as certificates of participation (“COPs”). Since the City’s only contemplated financing was the Pier Parking facility, COPs provided a more cost effective and efficient financing tool for this single project. This financing structure would take the form of a lease purchase agreement between a leasing corporation (i.e. Pompano Beach Finance Corporation as used for the City Series 1992 COPs) and the City of Pompano Beach. Under the lease agreement, an essential city asset would be leased by the leasing corporation to the City. The City as lessee would make lease payments which are subject to annual appropriation by City Council, to repay the COPs over the term of the financing. Upon repaying the COPs, the property would be released to the City. While the City would first use net parking revenues to pay debt service, the idea was that the ability to pledge general fund revenues would strengthen the credit and marketability of COPs. Given the growing acceptance of COPs in the investor community, highly‐rated COPs could also be structured without a debt service reserve fund, which would decrease the borrowing costs to the City and also increased liquidity. This approach paid off when the rating agencies awarded the bonds with ratings of A1 / AA‐ from Moody’s and S&P, respectively, which were much higher than the anticipated BBB rating from a bond issued solely with a parking revenue security. Throughout the pricing process, PFM’s Pricing Group negotiated on the City’s behalf with the underwriter (RBC Capital Markets) to discover appropriate pricing levels for a taxable parking garage COPs transaction, given the lack of comparable deals in the market. 35 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 Town of Surfside, Florida The Town was recently in the process of implementing a large utility system improvement project that encompassed the entire Town footprint. PFM worked with the Town to develop a plan of finance that was within the constraints of their rate consultant’s long‐ term plan. PFM assisted the Town to procure, negotiate, and secure a long‐term direct bank placement to fund this capital project. The distinct feature of that borrowing was that initially the bank lender did not want to offer any prepayment terms without an additional cost. However, PFM and the Town had insight to the fact that it was very likely that an SRF loan would be made available at a future date. SRF loans, while potentially having more restrictive conditions, i.e. “Buy American,” typically provide a lower cost of borrowing than commercial markets. As a result of that knowledge, PFM negotiated an optional prepayment on a portion of the loan equal to the expected amount of the SRF loan proceeds. As an additional enhancement to the plan of finance, the lending bank offered a lower rate if the Town was willing to accept an early “put” feature, meaning there would be a balloon payment due in year 10 in the amount of the final 7 years of the loan. Knowing the Town had secured future SRF funds, we agreed to the early put feature, and at the time the SRF funds were received eight months later, we moved forward with defeasing the final 7 years of the loan, effectively removing that risk from the Town. Other Examples of Innovation Beyond traditional financings, PFM has also created new tools to help our local government clients operate more efficiently and plan for the future. Below are a few examples of innovative concepts employed by PFM. PFM’s Environmental Finance Group: PFM is on the forefront of the Environmental Finance movement. Our Environmental Finance Group has extensive experience with innovative programs dedicated to creating and implementing green projects and initiatives. Green efforts can cover a wide variety of projects, ranging from energy equipment retrofits to renewable generation and system‐wide upgrades for energy and water distribution and consumption management. PFM has worked with many clients on a broad range of financing opportunities including: Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”), revolving loan funds, power purchase agreements, energy service company (“ESCO”) contracts, on‐bill financing, taxable and tax‐exempt leases, as well as municipal and green bonds. Project types include energy efficiency improvements, water efficiency installations, renewable energy infrastructure and implementation, and streetlight upgrades, to name a few. The financing vehicles include traditional bonds, assessment programs, fee securitization (referred to as Cost Containment Bonds in Florida) and 36 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 private funding. We have the knowledge and experience needed to provide our clients with advice on the creation and implementation of the best financing solutions for their specific circumstances given the available options. Green initiatives, whether implemented on public or private property, can generate benefits such as reduced utility bills, lower carbon emissions, local job creation, and increased property values. Flexible & Make Whole Call (MWC) Provisions: A “ten year par call” has been the market standard for over a decade. As PFM continues to push underwriters to focus on the value of the call option, PFM has been able to obtain shorter no call periods and add make whole call provisions. MWC provisions were introduced in the municipal market along with Build America Bonds during the financial crisis since a MWC is the norm in the taxable market. Typically there is no financial advantage to a MWC because the premium paid to the investor captures all the benefit of declining interest rates, plus a penalty. However, PFM recently helped pioneer an adjustment to MWC language that adjusts the MWC premium to be based on the price to the traditional 10 year call date instead of the maturity date. This materially decreases the premium. While still less efficient than a traditional advance refunding, the concept is very appealing for bonds that cannot be advance refunded since the MWC results in a current refunding. While this technique has only been applied to a few financings to date, PFM has completed over $500 million of the financings, including the first financing which closed in February. Whitebirch Financial Modeling Platform: PFM’s affiliate, PFM Solutions LLC, recently introduced Whitebirch: a brand new, flexible financial modeling platform designed to produce dynamic, multi‐year financial projections to facilitate strategic planning. Users can customize logic and establish relationships among an unlimited number of independent variables. Its patented architecture permits users to easily consider alternative portfolios of operating and capital assumptions, and its browser‐based functionality allows for distributed use and multi‐dimensional reporting. Whitebirch has specific applicability for long‐ range planning for general and enterprise funds. The architecture behind Whitebirch provides users flexibility in designing and building their institution’s unique financial and organizational logic. However, unlike spreadsheets, Whitebirch permits users to layer alternative versions of both variables and formulae, and choose the version applicable to a given scenario. Spreadsheets are limited to one data point or one formula per cell, requiring users to either save 37 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 alternative assumption sets, save alternative model versions, and/or utilize complicated formulae and functions to conduct sensitivity analysis. Whitebirch is designed to produce longer‐term strategic projections. Analysis is conducted at a higher level to eliminate false precision. Traditionally, budgeting software answers a particular set of short‐term questions that require a very detailed analysis, often on an object‐code and fund‐by‐fund basis. Forecasting is often an extension of this detailed analysis, a roll‐up of a simple projection of the detailed budget. By virtue of the detail inherent in such analysis, consideration of change variables and alternative scenarios of initiatives and projects is difficult and time‐consuming. In contrast, Whitebirch focuses analysis on alternative scenarios of operating and capital initiatives, with varying costs, timing, and funding sources, thereby creating a mission‐level decision‐making tool. iv. Proposer shall provide an estimate of the time that will be required of City staff in assisting in financial advisory services. PFM has built our reputation on providing superior service for our clients and making their involvement in the day‐ to‐day financing process as streamlined as possible. We start each project by staffing the engagement with an experienced team that serves as the “quarterback” of the financing team. By coordinating the entire transaction management process, PFM minimizes the amount of staff time required to implement a financing — which provides finance staff more time to focus on other responsibilities such as budget and audit preparation. This is of vital importance given staff cutbacks that were required during the economic downturn, resulting in more work and less time to complete it. v. The overall approach to delivering the Scope of Services and any strategies Proposer proposes to implement. See page 15‐20 for PFM’s approach to providing financial advisory services as outlined in the scope of services. Within this section we will outline PFM’s recent experience as it relates to working with entities on the implementation of sales tax revenue bonds, including our recent work with the City of Palm Beach Gardens. It is our understanding that the City of Delray Beach will receive approximately $3.7 million of annual sales tax revenue collections for 10 years. In order to accelerate projects the City might consider bonding this revenue stream. This can be done using two different security structures: (1) a direct pledge of the sales tax revenues or (2) a covenant to budget and appropriate (CB&A) from legally available non ad valorem revenues. If the City pledged the sales tax revenues, lenders would require the City to include a minimum debt service coverage factor of 1.25 to 1.50 times debt service, thus reducing the upfront project proceeds that can be generated. Based on a 10 year financing with 1.25 times coverage the City could generate approximately $25.9 million of project proceeds based on current market conditions. In order to maximize the amount of upfront project proceeds generated, the City could secure 38 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 the debt with a CB&A from legally available non ad valorem revenues and still use the sales tax revenues to make the actual debt service payments. This would allow the City to bond using 1.00 times coverage, which would increase the upfront project proceeds to approximately $32.3 million based on current market conditions. PFM recently worked with the City of Palm Beach Gardens on the implementation of a direct bank loan financing of their sales tax revenues. They desired to maximize upfront proceeds so we structured the transaction with a CB&A of legally available non ad valorem revenues. The RFP garnered 12 responses and PNC Bank was recommended as the loan provider. Provided below is a summary of the interest rates proposed. In addition to the City of Palm Beach Gardens, PFM is working with multiple other jurisdiction in Palm Beach County on the implementation of the most cost effective financing plan for the recently approved capital sales tax.

Details of implementation plan and schedule. See page 15‐20 for details on how PFM works with clients to implement cost effective financing plans as well as a sample timetable from a recent financing. ix. Proposer shall specify the location(s), including the complete physical address, where the work for this project will be performed, including work performed by subcontractors, if applicable. The City’s engagement will be staffed from PFM’s Orlando office, which opened in 1986 and has been in continuous operation since then. According to the most recent Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace, PFM has the largest financing team in Florida (Source: The Bond Buyer, Spring 2016). The level of staffing and the experience gained working on a wide range of financings each year enables our team to provide sound and prompt advice. It is worth noting that PFM’s success has resulted in an increase in staffing from nine in 2008, to twenty‐eight today, enabling PFM to provide an even higher level of service moving forward. Florida Office Location Where Work Will Performed: 300 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 1170 Orlando, FL 32801 (407) 648‐2208 x. Proposer shall thoroughly explain: a. Its accessibility in the areas of availability for meetings, general communications, coordination, and supervision b. How the proposer physically plans on attending pre-scheduled meetings c. How the proposer plans on ensuring accessibility and availability during the term of the Agreement One of the many unique aspects of PFM is the deep bench of resources available. Unlike many firms that only have 1 or 2 people dedicated to the Florida market, PFM has multiple senior professionals that will be available to the City in the event the primary contact is not available. This not only helps with covering meetings and calls on short notice, but also provides continuity in the event of unforeseen circumstances that might affect a member of the team. PFM has a demonstrated track history of providing superior service in a timely manner for our clients. This is reflected in the fact that we have relationships with many clients that stretch back over 10 years and remain intact through multiple RFP processes. In addition we continue to add clients without compromising the level of service provided. 44 City of Delray Beach Proposal for Financial Advisor Services | RFP #2017-025 C.

Sugerman, Ph.D., Assistant City Manager THROUGH:Chief Neal de Jesus, Interim City Manager DATE:May 16, 2017 AWARD OF AN AGREEMENT TO LANIER PARKING METER SERVICES, LLC D/B/A LANIER PARKING SOLUTIONS FOR COMPREHENSIVE PARKING MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN AN ANNUAL NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $656,308.84 (ADDENDUM) Recommended Action: Motion to Award an agreement to Lanier Parking Meter Services, LLC d/b/a Lanier Parking Solutions in an annual not-to-exceed amount of $656,308.84 for Comprehensive Parking Management Services. Background: On August 19, 2016, a Request for Proposals No. 2016-107 was advertised for Comprehensive Parking Management Services. On December 6, 2016 City Commission approved the ranking and authorized staff to negotiate an Agreement with Lanier Parking Meter Services, LLC D/B/A Lanier Parking Solutions (Lanier). Staff elected to utilize the Management Services Fee plus Expenses model for this Agreement. Under this option, Lanier will be paid a flat fee for management services plus direct operating expenses to be reimbursed by the City. All expenses must be pre-approved by the City and will require detailed expenditure data and supporting documentation with the payment request. Staff was successful in negotiating an $18,000 credit from Lanier toward equipment purchases and lowering the interest rate on amortized equipment from 9.35% to 6.99%, as well as removing the costs for non-essential line items such as additional parking boots, a consulting service fee, an additional pressure washer, and office furniture. The City agreed to directly purchase various items such as cell phones and office equipment rather than reimburse Lanier, further reducing expense costs. Negotiations also included increasing Lanier's staffing for special events and enforcement to ensure adequate coverage and execution of responsibilities. The expense budget was also modified to include additional wayfinding signage for locating the parking facilities. Under this Agreement, Lanier's annual flat fee for management services will be $30,000 per year, and the reimbursable expenses are not-to-exceed $580,000 per year, which includes a total not-to- exceed amortized amount of $46,308.84 per year for the purchase of capital equipment throughout the agreement term and an additional $5,000 per year for a performance incentive bonus.

In addition to our significant base of operations and infrastructure throughout the State of Florida (under the Lanier Parking, pk1 and Ameripark brands), all wholly owned firms), this thoughtful approach to parking management enables our firm to deliver fully accountable, customer-service driven parking operations that are anything but status quo.

This seasonal operation runs from March 1st - September 30th while accommodating 13 million visitors each year to the area. Lanier is responsible for maintaining all parking equipment, parking enforcement, violation citations, revenue controls approved by the City’s auditor, and delivering exceptional customer service to all residents and visitors. Below is a summary of the improvements Lanier implemented to effectively increase the level of revenue controls, equipment functionality, and service standards for the City of Myrtle Beach: Lanier expanded the program to 17 pay-stations (437 parking stalls) and 1,513 parking metered spaces for a total of 1,950 paid parking spaces. Installed 17 new Digital pay stations that include a PCI-certified EMS platform–EMS allows for real- time credit card processing, remote reporting and alarm monitoring. After moving our pay stations to real-time, revenues increased by 10% over the previous year. Lanier worked closely with Digital to alter their software to include a pay-by-license plate payment option to manage the thousands of bikers that gather in Myrtle Beach each May for biker rallies. Designed and implemented a new booting program for the City to effectively enforce parking regulations and collect past due citations. Partnered with Park-by-Phone to implement the area’s first cellular phone payment option for parking – Park-by-Cell use has increased 47% since 2009.

Lanier provides parking management solutions for all City-owned parking facilities and surface lots, as well as their turn-key on-street parking program: including enforcement, collections, maintenance, and citation processing. Lanier’s performance in the first year exceeded expectations as we increased revenue over the previous Operator by a substantial amount. Below is a summary of the improvements Lanier implemented to effectively increase the level of revenue controls, equipment functionality and service standards for the City of Wilmington: Lanier purchased and later amortized the cost of new pay-stations to allow for proper collection of parking revenues–revenues at one particular location increased by nearly 14% over the previous year. Lanier upgraded to T2 citation handhelds with a LCD color touch screen and a digital camera– digital photographs of violations are linked directly to the citation in a web-enabled database. Implemented a pay-by-cell platform integrated with multi-space meters. For FY13 there were 46,483 pay by phone transactions and 16,675 pay by phone users. Purchased money drop safes for each parking booth and upgraded the reporting software to increase reporting capabilities. Lanier determined that set parameters (approved by the City) were not installed or had been removed from all the parking meters–each meter was reprogrammed and audited, enabling customers to receive their deserved benefits. Lanier repaired several damaged poles and tightened existing meter heads to prevent theft and improved overall appearance. In 2012, Lanier purchased and paid for a substantial upgrade to the current Scan Net operating system that allows the City decks to accept PCI-compliant credit card payments from parkers. At Lanier’s recommendation, City Council voted to have the parking decks charge for parking 24/7. This enabled the City to capture 100% of the revenue within the current fee schedule. Lanier changed the rate schedule for daily, hourly, and special event parkers. These combined changes resulted in a 103% increase in transient revenue. Lanier set up the secure transfer of DMV records directly to the T2 system, in order to improve the turnaround time for DMV record updates. Lanier collaborated with the City to implement an Identification Placard program for use by Wilmington Police Department to use in unmarked cars that are on official business. Over the past seven years, Lanier Parking has taken pride in partnering with the City of Wilmington to enhance the parking experience for visitors and residents. Lanier continues to provide proven solutions that not only increase revenue by elevating our customers’ experience, but develop technologically- advanced methods such as pay-by-cell and credit card acceptance for added convenience.

Experience with Scofflaw collections across state lines The first step in collecting debt from Scofflaws that have an out of state license plate is getting the proper and timely notification to the violator or a rental car company. Passport has partnered with the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (“NLETS”) for direct access to motor vehicle and driver’s data in all 50 states. NLETS is a state owned, non-profit aggregator of all state, local, and federal law enforcement, justice, and public safety data. NLETS uses a Multi-Protocol Label Switching for superior connectivity and dependability, providing a minimum of full T1 speed to all its customers with a robust wireless backup capability to all users to ensure network uptime. Additionally, NLETS provides AES 256 bit encrypted connectivity to all member agencies. Through this partnership, Passport will have access to all standard driver license and vehicle data and criminal and Interpol information. When a parking enforcement officer enters an LPN into OpsMan Mobile, the system will query NLETS’ database and OpsMan to check for scofflaw records, if the query returns a series of unpaid citations or other flags, the parking enforcement officer will be prompted to issue a boot or tow warning or take other appropriate action. Additionally, Passport will use NLETS to gather registered vehicle owner information to mail delinquency notices. When citations near a point where an escalation or delinquency notice is required, Passport will batch citations and send them to NLETS. Using the VIN or LPN from the citation, the system will pull registered owner information, including the most recent address. Once the citation has reached the date whereby a notice is required, OpsMan will automatically send the notice to the registered address. Lookups will only be performed on an as-needed basis, ensuring that the requisite owner data is the most up to date. Once a violator is tied to a mailed notice that violator’s information will be attached to the VIN and LPN, and stored as encrypted data for future use in mailed notifications. If Passport receives mail that was returned to sender for an LPN or VIN that was stored in the system, OpsMan will interface with NLETS to check for a more recent address and automatically resend the notice. Lanier’s Enforcement Ambassador will then immediately follow protocol for the approved booting process. Across the United States, Lanier has retained a very high collection rate for its various integrations based on the specific state regulations for acquiring and protecting this information on behalf of its municipal operations. e. Summarize the circumstances if the Proposer has had a municipal contract terminated prior to expiration in the past ten years. If none, provide a statement to that effect. Not applicable. Lanier has NOT had a municipal contract terminated prior to expiration in the past ten years. 21 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services ii. Submit a details narrative description documenting Proposer’s specific experience including, but not limited to, the following: a. Knowledge of and experience in: (1) Revenue control equipment Revenue Control Equipment One of the most important attributes to consider when selecting a new firm is its familiarity with industry technologies. The Lanier team is familiar with all types of revenue control equipment, including automated on and off-street applications; allowing for best in class parking programs initially upon installation and thereafter. Moreover, Lanier has the proven ability to operate any system available in the industry. From its inception, Lanier has been on the forefront of recognizing and implementing advancements in technology that improve our clients’ bottom lines. Lanier team leaders attend local, regional and national parking conferences to make certain we stay in- the-know regarding the latest in technology, including this year’s IPI Conference in Nashville and NPA Conference in Atlanta. We view this involvement as a critical component of our client responsibilities. Our clients have benefited tremendously as a result of our efforts to put in place the most applicable technology solutions for their environment and customers. These technological upgrades have not only improved client bottom lines, but have also enhanced the customer’s experience. Relationship with Equipment Suppliers As a leading Parking Management provider, Lanier has partnered with a number of equipment firms to provide our customers cutting-edge equipment at the lowest possible cost. Our team can obtain equipment and technology quotes that provide solutions to meet the objectives of the City’s parking operations; now and in the future. It is our goal to create a collaborative relationship to determine the solutions that best fit the City’s parking programs. As the City’s trusted parking partner and advisor, Lanier will work closely with the City to assist in the procurement, installation, and utilization of parking equipment and technology that enhances its operations and increases its revenue potential for years to come. In addition, our equipment partners understand the importance of servicing the equipment and have committed to Lanier the highest level of service, response, and quality craftsmanship in the industry. 22 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (2) Multi-space parking equipment and technology We have over 100 locations that utilize multi-space technology. Each one of our locations can install, maintain and collect paystations. To further expand, following is a summary of the improvements Lanier implemented to effectively increase the level of revenue controls, equipment functionality, and service standards for the City of Myrtle Beach, SC: Lanier expanded the program to 17 pay-stations (437 parking stalls) and 1,513 parking metered spaces for a total of 1,950 paid parking spaces. Installed 17 new Digital pay stations that include a PCI-certified EMS platform–EMS allows for real-time credit card processing, remote reporting and alarm monitoring. After moving our pay stations to real-time, revenues increased by 10% over the previous year. Lanier worked closely with Digital to alter their software to include a pay-by-license plate payment option to manage the thousands of bikers that gather in Myrtle Beach each May for biker rallies. Designed and implemented a new booting program for the City to effectively enforce parking regulations and collect past due citations. Partnered with Park-by-Phone to implement the area’s first cellular phone payment option for parking – Park-by-Cell use has increased 47% since 2009. Upgraded the current Clancy citation operating system to a web based portal with better handheld devices and added photo enforcement. The upgrade included all current and previous data being stored and secured at a remote location. The database also has the ability to integrate with the Park-by-Phone platform. Issuance of cellphones to Lanier ambassadors with Bluetooth printing technology for expedited and accurate citation distributions. IPS credit card processing meters were deployed in 2013 after a successful trial season in 2012. (3)Single-space parking equipment and technology Similar to the background we have with multi-space equipment (referenced above) Lanier has in-depth experience using single space meters and related technologies. We have worked various manufacturers including, but not limited to: Duncan, IPS, POM, Mackay and others, to enhance our public sector clients’ parking operations. Please see our municipal references, many of which have a primary on-street emphasis that include single-space meters and related technology integrations. Please see our references and success stories herein for more details. 23 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (4) License plate recognition technology LPR is a highly efficient way to enforce a municipal or private sector parking program, as it significantly reduces the number of Parking Enforcement Officers required to manage the program. LPR can also be a stationery application in garages, and is used for bulletproof inventory control. Atlantic Station, a Lanier private sector reference for this proposal based on the diverse and large scale operation at the project (nearly 7,000 spaces), is the largest single underground parking facility in North America utilizing a LPR-enabled parking access revenue control system. The system uses information obtained from the LPR database to track vehicle activity in and out of the garage. With a valid plate registered in the LPR system, monthly parkers can enter and exit the garage without the need for an access card. When the LPR system recognizes the plate as a registered monthly parker, the information is passed to the system within seconds, granting access for the parker. In addition to the convenience for monthly parkers, Lanier Parking can track and block specific license plates as requested by the Atlantic Station safety and security department. Utilizing LPR technology in conjunction with the new system has eliminated all the loopholes mentioned earlier. The optimum LPR system should supply all the hardware and software necessary to create an efficient, secure, real-time, LPR-focused enforcement solution that enables the use of virtual and/or traditional permits using fixed or vehicle-based mobile LPR cameras. The system should not require interaction with ALPR camera software, but have a direct integration that reduces the system complexity, increases functionality, and improves officer usability. The same software used to identify vehicles should be the same that is used for enforcement with those vehicles. All of the functionally available in the enforcement handheld should be available in in-vehicle LPR software. A proposed enforcement module should offer a license plate-based validation system that supplies the ability to provide location and vehicle-based validations. Functionality should include the following: Kiosk application for vehicle registration Location and license plate restrictions to help prevent abuse Real time update of validation status on handheld and vehicle enforcement units Multiple validation types supported including time based (2 hours free), reduced rate ($3 off), flat rate ($5 all day), and prepaid validation Validation usage reports Departmental or customer billing for validation usage 24 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (5) Parking sensor technology Lanier has experience using Parking Sensor Technology. We currently use Parking Sensors at Atlantic Station (a Lanier reference herein), and we are currently in the midst of two (2) separate installations at our Emery Point, and 736 Peachtree Street locations in Atlanta. Parking Sensors have been considered controversial in some cities, as constituent groups tend to believe they are a modern method for enabling mass enforcement. The equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel so to speak… Indeed, Parking Sensors are a modern solution for determining parking occupancy, predictive occupancy and compliance, demand-based pricing, enforcement routing and computer vision to detect occupancy. Parking data from these sensors is often used to question assumptions regarding technologies and parking policies, and to improve returns on investment. (6)Smart-phone parking Apps Lanier will work with ParkMe and other parking aggregators such as ParkingPanda and ParkWhiz to ensure the City’s facilities are listed and updated routinely (with rates, hours etc.), as additional means to attract transient parkers. Mobile Ambassador Lanier Parking Solutions introduced the Mobile Ambassador program in 2010. The Mobile Ambassador is a text-based messaging system that includes a fully-functional mobile formatted website. By texting a keyword to 55834, patrons will receive an instant response directing them to the site, which can be custom-built to offer hours, rates, contact information, video, FAQs, RSS/blog feeds, interactive directions and mapping. This mobile ambassador is cost-effective and has a viral capacity as the keyword can be shared or “pushed” between individual mobile phones. Mobile Ambassador also provides opportunities to mine data by building a database of mobile numbers that have interacted with Mobile Ambassador. The site also provides opt-in email and share capabilities with social media and website RSS feeds. Mobile Payments Lanier has chosen to propose Passport smart-phone parking apps for mobile payments. Passport’s mobile payment for parking system is designed to increase revenue by improving the compliance rate and increasing the average transaction size. Efficiency gains are realized by reducing merchant processing costs and shifting traffic from expensive hardware systems onto a future-proof mobile system. 25 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Creating opportunities for higher average transaction amounts yields an increase in revenue: When starting a “session” on a Passport-built system, the user is prompted to pick a time to stay on a ‘shortcuts’ screen, with predetermined blocks of time as options before they get to a more granular time picker screen. By making ‘Max Rate’ the first option encountered, users are more likely to pay for a longer period of time and thus have a larger average transaction value than they would at the meter or on another mobile payment system (revenue gain). Passport can also enable tools to further incentivize larger transaction sizes, such as waving the convenience fee if the parker elects to stay for the maximum allowed duration (revenue gain). Or, Passport can enable free extensions so parkers can extend their sessions up to the stated limit without barriers such as additional fees to consider (revenue gain). In the latter example, Passport can process the extension without an additional credit card charge or more credit card fees, unlike other providers (efficiency gain). (7)Garage maintenance equipment Our maintenance programs are designed to reduce the expenses of our clients and increase their net receipts. Consistent and preventive maintenance practices on equipment to maintain our clients’ parking facilities is paramount to controlling expenses and projecting a first class image. To properly manage the Delray Beach parking program, Lanier recognizes stringent management and tight asset controls need to be in place to protect and secure the City’s parking infrastructure (including new equipment). Lanier understands and has in-depth experience operating and maintaining different types of Garage Maintenance Equipment, from scrubbers and sweepers, to pressure washing machines and ventilation fans. Lanier will adhere to the operational and maintenance standards set forth by the City of Delray Beach, from repair and maintenance, to revenue control procedures. We will also be prepared to address any future garage maintenance equipment needs on behalf of the City. 26 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services b.Background in: (1)Parking meter collections Collections of Parking Pay Stations Monies and Accounting Lanier and its affiliated group of companies account for more than $750MM in annual parking revenues. Among other integrated platforms that are part and parcel of various meter manufacturers’ back-end systems, Lanier uses an integrated, computerized accounting system and accompanying revenue control protocol that account for all revenue, payroll, accounts payable, location and contract management and reporting functions. Lanier’s stringent revenue control platform and corresponding procedures ensure that our Management Personnel and front-line team members have individual accountability for their work. In addition, Revenue Control for the City’s operations will be assured through: Proper training and review of employees Consistent supervision both on-site and off-site Institution of comprehensive equipment and maintenance programs A system of records designed to create an audit trail We implement a cross-referenced series of procedures and reports detailing all revenue and traffic activity (optional). Single transactions are linked to the entire system, which creates continuity and a complete picture. If a transaction is missing, the system allows the missing transaction to be identified and traced. All on-site personnel will work with the General Manager and our corporate accounting staff to ensure that all accounting issues are addressed, and all accounting information is processed in accordance with Company and City guidelines and requests. Our integrated system is specific to the parking industry, and can report standard and customized client information as needed. Complete budget information is maintained and used to analyze the monthly results of our operations. Additional information on our revenue control procedures and associated protocol follows: 27 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (2)Garage Maintenance With the high volume of parkers that utilize the City’s parking facilities, Lanier wants to demonstrate the best possible impression on behalf of the City of Delray Beach. We have budgeted for 2.5 Maintenance positions, six (6) hours per day, to follow established cleaning procedures daily which will include weekly, monthly, and quarterly pressure washing, painting projects to keep the decks looking sharp. These positions will also help facilitate collections and on-street maintenance. Lanier acknowledges the maintenance requirements in the Sample Agreement and RFP and recognizes the importance of having a thorough maintenance program at the City of Delray Beach parking facilities and lots. Lanier believes the maintenance at each facility should begin prior to the arrival of vehicles and will assess the overall condition of the City’s facilities when no vehicles are present. Not only does a successful maintenance program establish the comfort level for employees and visitors, it also plays a major role in projecting a favorable first impression. In addition, a sound maintenance program often protects the City and Lanier from potential exposure to liability. With the City’s additional feedback (upon Contract award), Lanier will customize a maintenance checklist detailing all tasks to be performed on a daily and weekly basis at each facility. This checklist will be used by the on-site Maintenance personnel as a guide to ensure all job assignments are completed in a timely manner. The General Manager will refer to this checklist every day as a tool to measure productivity. To ensure each Lanier location lives up to the City of Delray Beach standards, members of the Lanier Senior Management team will visit each site several times throughout the year to conduct random site inspections. The results of the inspections, along with recommendations for continued improvement will be shared with the City routinely. Capital Maintenance Projects (Pressure Washing and Sweeping) In addition to the daily responsibilities performed by the on-site staff, Lanier can contract out routine monthly sweeping and pressure washing services. By performing these services, tire dust and unwelcome build-up are minimized, allowing for a much more favorable appearance. Pending City of Delray Beach approval, all of this work will be performed during non-peak hours and coordinated by Lanier’s General Manager under the direction of City Staff. 28 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (3)Citation Management Lanier facilitates citation management and collection for our clients in Wrightsville Beach, NC; Myrtle Beach, SC; Wilmington, NC; Carolina Beach, NC, and Wilton Manors, FL., to name a few. Lanier has proven it can effectively manage municipal programs with citation production of as little as 10,000 citations per year, to upwards of 250,000 citations per year. Our team follows a disciplined schedule of friendly, yet encouraging, delinquent notices to all past due violators. Lanier has a track record of collecting high percentages of citations owed. How do we have such effective collections? Timeliness – make sure the initial notice goes out within the first 30 days or time frame determined by city. Diligence – make sure multiple notices get sent out. Out of State – pursue out of state violators. Public Relations – make sure the public understands the ground rules of parking, and that if they receive a citation, that they will have to pay. Payment Options – make a wide variety of payment options available, including online Internet, walk-in, telephone, credit card. Legal Remedies – for the worst offenders that still escape payment, seek action through small claims court or through the credit bureaus. Citation Issuance – Ambassadors are trained to accurately and completely prepare, print, and post citations for violators of the City’s parking ordinance, enforce all applicable parking laws, and public safety concerns. 29 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (4)Parking Enforcement The Parking Enforcement Officer or PEO (we refer to them as Ambassadors) is the most visible employee in a municipal parking program. Thus, it is vital that parking enforcement officers conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner when in the field. To that end, Lanier has established standards of behavior to which our Ambassadors must adhere. Parking enforcement is designed to promote safety, benefit central business districts and expedite traffic flow while promoting turnover on busy streets. Lanier will work with the City of Delray Beach to develop specific requirements and procedures for issuing parking citations in your City. Effective Parking Enforcement: Increases the availability of short-term parking spaces for customers, clients and businesses by discouraging parkers from monopolizing scarce on-street parking spaces. This increases revenue for businesses by providing the perception of consistent, available parking for customers and clients. To this end, Lanier is fully aware of the economic development benefits a well-operated parking program has on Downtown, business and residential environments. Through consistent and fair enforcement of City ordinances, Lanier will demonstrate our ability to achieve the necessary goals the City of Delray Beach expects. Ensures that loading zones are available to those in need for the loading and unloading of supplies Decreases traffic congestion in the central business district by reducing incidences of: Cars parking in rush hour lanes Cars parking too close to intersections preventing vehicles from turning Reduces the incidence of parking situations which are hazardous and could cause injuries or loss of life such as: Cars parking too close to intersections causing reduced visibility of motorists and pedestrians Double parking, which presents roadway obstacles and narrows the usable width of roads causing side-swipe or rear-end accidents Blocking fire hydrants, causing fire fighters to lose precious time hooking up hoses Lanier also understands that Parking is often the first and last impression a visitor has of your City. This is why we customized our parking program to target the specific needs of Delray Beach. The City is vibrant and benefits from the economic growth of tourism. With development underway, it is important valuable parking is identified and a parking management system be put in place and administered appropriately to achieve the balance the City described in the RFP. 30 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services It is of the utmost importance to the City and its stakeholders that merchants, residents and visitors alike have a positive experience when parking in Delray Beach. Our Ambassadors will answer questions, provide exposure to the pubic while in full uniform, and explain each module of payment from using Passport for mobile payments to actually using the paystations and meters. Our Ambassadors will be fully trained and well versed to discuss and answer parking ordinance questions, identify locations to park, approved rates, and even discuss events that will be happening within the City of Delray Beach. Enforcement Supervision In order to monitor our Ambassadors (our parking enforcement staff), Lanier has developed several different methods to evaluate performance. We believe it is important our Ambassadors do not feel obligated to issue a certain number of citations per day. Instead, our field supervisors and managers use different methods to evaluate enforcement productivity and quality of work. These methods include: Secret Parkers – Our local management or other Lanier staff, with the City’s approval, will use their personal vehicle and park it illegally to test a newly hired Ambassador’s ability to recognize violations. Results of the test are reviewed with the appropriate employee and his/her immediate supervisor. Beat Analysis – The Lead Parking Enforcement Agent will review, on a daily basis, the citation productivity report for each agent over the previous day. This information will be tracked to determine trends and if further investigation is needed as to an employee’s whereabouts and actions. Remote Supervision – If the Lead Agent or Management determines the citation productivity data for a particular employee is inconsistent with standards (excess time between citations issued or inconsistent pattern of where citations are being issued), the Lead Agent or Management Team will conduct surveillance of the enforcement agent to determine if the employee’s behavior is within guidelines. Any information gathered will be discussed with supervisor and employee. If behavior is inappropriate, the employee will be coached to improve performance and or disciplined. On-Site Supervision – New to the Lanier method of evaluating Ambassador performance is on- site supervision. This method allows the direct supervisor or manager to shadow the employee on their beat during their shift. While walking the beat with the employee, the supervisor or manager evaluates the employee’s performance by measuring several elements of their appearance and responsibilities. Separation of Duties – In order to maintain tight fiscal controls, there must be separation of duties at every position within the operation. Each type of revenue collected by an employee of the operation is verified by another prior to a deposit of funds being made. 31 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Supervision and Analysis The Lead Parking Enforcement Ambassador will review, on a daily basis, the citation productivity report for each Ambassador over the previous day. This information will be tracked to determine trends and if further investigation is needed as to an employee’s whereabouts and actions. If the Lead Agent or Management determines the citation productivity data for a particular employee is inconsistent with standards (excess time between citations issued or inconsistent pattern of where citations are being issued), the Lead Ambassador or Management Team will conduct surveillance of the enforcement officer to determine if the employee’s behavior is within guidelines. Any information gathered will be discussed with supervisor and employee. If behavior is inappropriate, the employee will be coached to improve performance and or disciplined. (5) On-line payment of parking citation Lanier uses various back-end platforms for citation issuance and corresponding on-line payment options. In the case of Delray Beach, using Passport’s (Lanier’s proposed citation management partner) web-based payment portal, RMCPay, violators can pay online using a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account. As a direct result of Passport’s real time issuance capabilities, violators can pay citations immediately upon receipt of the citation. In New Haven, CT, for example, Passport has seen 60% of payments performed online. For those users who choose to visit an office or mail in a check payment, office staff can use OpsMan to apply payment information. In this arrangement, a violator would come to the local parking office with their violation and cash or check and the office staff would search the system using the violation number. The staff member can then record that payment was accepted, enter the amount, invoice ID, and mark the violation as paid. The paid status of the citation will take effect, in the system, immediately. 32 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services c.Experience specific related to management of parking facilities particularly for municipalities with diverse parking options that include street-side, surface, and parking garages. A successful track record is one of the best predictors of success. Please review some of Lanier’s Municipal success stories and case studies that follow and feel free to contact the references listed. City of Rochester, MN 3,663 spaces Month 2010 – Present Lanier Parking took responsibility for the Municipal Parking Program of the City of Rochester, Minnesota in April of 2011. The prior Operator had managed the City’s facilities for over ten years. The parking operation consists of 5 garages and 5 surface lots. In selecting Lanier, the City of Rochester cited Lanier’s parking management expertise, enhanced revenue controls, as well as our experience and involvement with Alternative Transportation Management strategies to bring a new and unique perspective to the City’s operations. As the City grows and evolves, our Transportation Plan presents a comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of the City. Lanier plays an integral role in assuring the City continues to encourage appropriate transportation alternatives that are both sustainable and affordable for City residents, businesses and major institutions. Following are details on how Lanier increased revenues, occupancy and became a true partner with the City of Rochester: Over a three year period, Lanier nearly doubled net income by increasing use of the parking facilities, controlling operating expenses and implementing Lanier’s accounting and revenue control procedures. Partnered with Mayo Clinic and other down-City businesses to coordinate parking, event parking and alternative transportation issues. Periodically distributed surveys to customers utilizing the City’s parking facilities and continue to maintain very high customer satisfaction ratings. Lanier developed an Alternative Transportation Plan, acting as the City’s representative in Alternative Transportation matters and meetings. We initiated bike lockers, tracks and bike racks, and assisted the City in selling bus passes. Set up a new validation system for approximately 100 down-City businesses. Lanier’s on-site management team administered and handled the accounts payable for all the public/private partnership skyways attached to the municipal parking garages. Achieved the desired results after recommending modifications to the City’s rate structure. Improved signage and way-finding to assist customers in navigating the facilities more efficiently and enhancing the overall appearance of the parking facility.

Lanier manages every facet of this turn-key municipal parking operation. The parking season operates from March 1st – October 31st each year. The operation consists of Lanier administering an extensive Residential Parking Permit Program, providing parking enforcement for non-moving violations within paid parking zones, maintaining and purchasing new parking meters and pay-stations, collecting payments for parking violations, and providing a controlled method of collection for both parking meters and pay-stations. Below is a summary of the improvements Lanier implemented to effectively increase the level of revenue controls, equipment functionality, and service standards for the City of Wrightsville Beach: Worked with Park-by-Phone to implement the area’s first cellphone payment option for parking. In 2009, Lanier converted from the Lexis/Cubic units to Digital’s newest line of pay stations. The on-going operation of the pay stations includes Digital’s PCI certified EMS platform, which include remote reporting and alarm monitoring services. Upgraded the current Clancy citation operating system to a web based portal with better handheld devices and added photo enforcement. The upgrade included all current and previous data being stored and secured at a remote location. The database also has the ability to integrate with the Park-by-Phone platform. Issuance of cellphones to Lanier ambassadors with Bluetooth printing technology for expedited and accurate citation distributions. In 2012, Lanier collected $2.2 million in parking revenues– the highest amount collected since paid parking began in Wrightsville Beach. Lanier has consistently collected higher levels of revenue each year, while keeping expenses under budget. Lanier constantly provides exceptional customer service, hires superior personnel and provides extensive training to maintain proper controls. By creating a higher quality parking management program, the Wrightsville Beach parking program remains successful.

Wilton Manors began experiencing additional parking issues and needed a solution. After soliciting a proposal, the City hired Lanier in 2010 to manage the parking program. Lanier was awarded the inaugural Wilton Manors parking operations consisting of on-street and surface lot parking spaces. Along with city officials, Lanier worked to clarify the scope of the parking program, created new regulations and policies, located spaces to be metered and selected equipment and technology for use in the new parking program. Lanier continues to recommend enhancements and improvements to the City’s parking program. Below is a summary of the improvements Lanier implemented to effectively increase the level of revenue controls, equipment functionality, and service standards for the City of Wilton Manors: In April 2010, new meters were installed to supplement the paid parking already in effect to better regulate parking. Lanier provided parking enforcement services, issued and collected citations, and distributed parking permits for users of City Park from the hours of 6:00 pm until 3:00 am. Lanier implemented a pay- by -phone program for the City that allows parkers to pay via cell phone through the ParkMobile app which can be downloaded free of charge. Developed and introduced a creative, new parking and directional signage package in the Arts and Entertainment district. The Lanier local management team coordinated event parking within the community to add thousands of additional parking spaces for event and festival attendees. Expanded the program by an additional 213 spaces after the demolition of the old City Hall. Lanier continues to work with business owners to be proactive with any special parking needs. Lanier’s excellent relationship with City Staff and Department Directors continues to grow and has become a true partnership. Lanier was recently awarded a 2 year extension to its 5 year initial contract.

We will use that access and scale to facilitate staffing for special events and peak demand. Customized orientations and training programs will be conducted with all team members to ensure not only operational functionality, but that quality and efficient service is delivered to the City’s customers. Following all training, shift meetings will be conducted prior to the start of each event in order to communicate any operational changes and pass-ons from the previous day. On-the-job training from peers and managers is the most effective means to ensure that proper customer service standards (“Greet, Serve, & Send”) and operating practices are followed. Lanier will provide a highly qualified, team oriented staff that is trained in all aspects of parking and traffic control to accommodate the City’s special events. Lanier will work with the City of Delray Beach to coordinate an on-site training session for all staff members to review the operating plan and offer final training details for special events that include: vehicle permitting, ingress and egress patterns, emergency policies and procedures, and an inclement weather plan. Lanier welcomes the City to attend such training sessions to ensure all details of the event have been addressed. Staffing and Logistics Lanier takes a proactive approach to ensure efficient staffing for special events, and that all scheduled staff members are knowledgeable of the actual event and the surrounding area(s). Staff meetings will occur regularly, and the General Manager will be on duty during events. Staffing levels remain flexible depending upon the event. Communication between Lanier and the City of Delray Beach, including the local Police and Fire Departments, will be constant before and during events. 37 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (3) Implementing operational controls for handling monies during special events Lanier’s stringent revenue control platform and corresponding procedures ensure that our Management Personnel and front-line team members have individual accountability for their work and revenues collected during special events. We have various means of implementing operational controls and handling monies during special events. For example, although not a recommendation for these particular operations until we get a better understanding of occupancy and demand for certain events, generally speaking we might use the Appetize handheld to control events. The functionality of the Appetize App (handhelds) is ideal for the City’s intended high volume application(s) and dynamic. Capabilities and software architecture are outlined as follows: Support For Parking and Entry Systems Appetize’s Handheld and Fixed POS offerings are appropriate for traditional and beach parking operations and special events, period.

Note, however, that each event may have particular exceptions and requirements, and we employ a common sense approach to ensure we keep traffic flowing seamlessly while accommodating VIP’s, press, dignitaries, City officials and the like. 39 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Management of Receipts Collected by Shift Lanier maintains a comprehensive system of internal cash controls on site and off. Maintaining the integrity of the City’s revenue stream is our top priority. Standard operating procedures follow: Revenues are recorded by revenue category, location and shift daily A complete audit trail of cash exists from ticket distribution to the final deposit in the bank Each Ambassador’s shift report and tickets are independently reviewed, recorded and verified Unannounced random audits are conducted on all Ambassadors several times each week by the General Manager and administrative staff (Assistant Manager and Accountant/Bookkeeper). Daily revenue reports are prepared to document receipts by category and location Revenue reports are always supported by validated deposit slips Senior management reviews revenue reports on a daily basis. Executive management reviews reports weekly and monthly Monthly revenue reports are prepared by location, summarizing daily revenue by category. Actual revenues are compared to budget on a monthly and annually Management strives to anticipate budget variances and takes appropriate action. Security of Money All monies collected must be kept in a safe and secure environment during normal operating hours as well as after hours. Separate security precautions have been developed for “operating hours” and “after hours” storage of funds, if applicable. Operating Hours 1. Monies are to be kept in a lock box at all times throughout the day and are to be out-of-sight of customers at all times throughout the day 2. When the party responsible for monies is temporarily away from their desk, monies are to be stored in a secure lock box and either placed in the employee’s locked desk Manager 3. Monies collected throughout the day are to be logged at the time of receipt on the proper transaction log Upon day’s conclusion, the employee is to balance their monies collected to the proper transaction logs, as follows: 40 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Monies are to be deposited in the proper account by management (or designated employee) Employee’s actions throughout the day must be evaluated to determine if negligent Supervisor or management must audit responsible employee’s bank and transaction logs If monies remain unbalanced, management is to contact Senior Management If unbalanced funds are not reported to the direct supervisor and/or management, the responsible employee may receive disciplinary action and/or termination After Hours 1. Only if applicable, all monies collected, verified and not deposited are to be given to management for overnight storage 2. If monies are coins from the cash registers or pay stations, each denomination is to be bagged/tied separately and stored in the safe overnight Inventory of coins are logged onto the “Coin Count Log” If pay stations are collected, cash should be deposited the day of collection If unable to be deposited, Senior Management must be contacted prior to the end of business day Cash is logged onto the “Safe Log” form for record keeping purposes 3. If monies are from the sales of permits or miscellaneous revenue (events, movie shoots etc.), the monies should be placed in a “bank bag” or lock box and placed into the safe for immediate deposit or overnight storage, then logged. 4. After all monies are placed in the safe for overnight storage, management or designee is to secure the safe room by activating the safe room alarm 5. At the beginning of the next business day, management is to pull all funds to be deposited from the safe and verified by the employee responsible prior to the deposit being made 41 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (4)Marketing and public relations Web-Based & Traditional Marketing Campaigns While the RFP emphasizes the efficient utilization of inventory (space and turnover) through a variety of means (including paid parking), we can support and greatly enhance the City’s efforts in Marketing and Public Relations by creating comprehensive, web-based and traditional marketing campaigns to educate, inform and assist residents, employees and visitors to find convenient and available parking options within the City. Check out our proposed way-finding signs for example! These renderings are instantly recognizable, and demonstrate how Lanier can assist the City of Delray Beach in creating attractive signs and branding programs! Understanding the City may have its own ideas in this regard, we offer these renderings as a conceptual overview. Under the direction of the City, we can also develop a new City of Delray Beach (“Park Delray Beach”) parking website detailing all options, rates, hours and parking information in and around the City. Please see the enclosed examples of websites we created with input and direction from our public sector clients. Incorporating the use of social media and apps (citing another example of our turnkey approach) will provide the most updated and relevant parking information to the City’s visitors and local parkers. Brochures It is important for the public to be updated with the most accurate information available. Lanier is suggesting a newly designed brochure that would be focused on a frequent parking program user. Other emphasis can be created as well. Credit card enhancements, possible pay-by-phone programs, monthly specials, internet links, mission statements and validation programs are all items that merchants, customers, employees and visitors can use to enhance their parking experience. Marketing materials can be distributed to parkers, showing them the many options they have on their next visit to the area, whether during the day or after-hours activities. Lanier will build relationships with residents, visitors and local businesses to maintain consistent awareness, branding and communication steadily flowing to the City, parking staff and visitors. Additionally, utilizing technology, communication tools and helpful information regarding the City’s parking program and amenities can enhance a parker’s experience. Please see the following page for an example of Lanier's website design capabilities for the City of Delray Beach Parking Operation. 42 Digital Marketing Services Presented by Client Website and Mobile Devices EXAMPLES Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (5) Customer service and issue resolution Customer Surveys In order to improve the City’s parking operations on a continual basis, it is vitally important to obtain feedback from businesses, residents and visitors regarding our customer service. Lanier will conduct frequent customer surveys to measure customer satisfaction. The service that Lanier delivers to each business, resident and visitor is crucial to our success and to that of the City of Delray Beach. Our goal is to provide a great customer service experience, and subject to the City’s approval, Lanier can periodically distribute surveys to solicit feedback on the City’s parking program and the level of services they receive from Lanier Parking. Lanier monitors, tracks and responds to all customer inquiries and negative feedback results in constructive criticism and target points for improvement. Throughout the term of our contract, Lanier will report monthly to the City of Delray Beach on these results to measure our success while using these findings to continually improve the financial performance of the program, as well as the customer experience. Lanier will supervise our staff members having interactions with patrons to ensure a high level of customer service is being offered at all times, and that all complaints, disagreements or misunderstandings regarding parking rates and/or services are resolved in accordance with established policy, as well as diplomatically and fairly. 44 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Issue Resolution Should an issue or complaint arise in one of the facilities and/or in an on-street setting, Lanier has various methods of handling the complaint. First, we listen intently to the customer’s issues, and we seek to diffuse the situation through positive communication methods. We have training programs that assist our front-line team members and management staff to handle even the toughest of complaints. In an on-street setting, chances are the issue will arise when a customer receives a citation. All citations written are forwarded to the local Lanier office. Each citation is reviewed for accuracy and viability, scanned by date of citation issue, and then forwarded in electronic form to the City. Both copies of the citations are kept on file in the Lanier office. Any citations that are deemed inappropriate or invalid are marked as such prior to scanning. In the event a parker wishes to contest the citation, the following steps are taken: 1.The parker must contact the Lanier office with the reason that he/she feels the citation is not valid. If the parker contacts the City first, they should be redirected to the Lanier office. 2.The Project Manager reviews the information and determines if there are grounds to invalidate the citation. That decision is relayed to the parker; either at the time of the notification or after some investigation is conducted. If it is determined that the citation should be invalidated, the City is notified by email, the parker is notified, and it is written on the original hard copy of the citation in the file. 3.If the Project Manager determines that the citation should stand as a valid and accurate citation but the parker continues to object, the parker is offered the opportunity to talk to the representatives at the City where the final determination is made. 4.If the City determines that the citation should be invalidated, they notify the parker of such and they notify the Lanier office by email or telephone. The parker is notified if the City determines that the citation is valid and they offer the parker the opportunity to pay the citation. 45 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (6) Working with local business owners Authentic stakeholder engagement, and joining local business organizations such as Chambers of Commerce or BIDs, enables Lanier staff members to get to know the people, business leaders and neighborhood groups in and around a Downtown Area. Through this outreach, we gain a unique and distinct understanding of the neighborhoods and streets encompassing the City of Delray Beach. This improves our operational planning, as we are better able to evaluate parking and access considerations impacting supply and demand; common factors that drive public parking RFP processes, and impact local businesses. We rely on feedback from these often vocal groups to communicate helpful and actionable intelligence to our public sector clients, enabling them (with our support and experience) to develop sound, cogent parking policy. Lanier will develop and implement successful parking and special event programs for Delray Beach where individual business owners have the ability to conduct business without concern for parking capacity. Finally, Lanier personnel will continuously evaluate rates to maintain competitive, “market” pricing. iii.

If the Proposer proposes to use subcontractors in the course of providing services, provide details of the area in which subcontracted services will be utilized and if applicable, identify the subcontractor Lanier will be responsible for the Scope of Work as outlined in the RFP and ultimately the operating contract. Lanier will work alongside the chosen multi-space vendor and handle the installation. Typically, the vendor will provide a Project Manager, and together with our operations team we can install the paystations. If they are chosen to be power vs. solar, we will need to request a certified electrician or City-appointed personnel to assist. The only service Lanier can foresee subcontracting for this is pressure washing of the parking stalls in the garages. A local subcontractor will be identified at that time and subject for City approval. We have budgeted for this on an annual basis. Passport and UIG are vendors we have partnered with to provide the highest level of integrated technology desired to take the City of Delray Beach into the future of managed parking. vi.Each Proposer shall submit client references for whom they have provided parking management services similar to those specified in this RFP in the past five (5) years and who are agreeable to respond to a request from the City regarding proposer’s experience.

CAPACITY AND APPROACH i. Provide a summary overview of the proposed approach and methodology for engaging with City representatives while in the course of performing the duties. We are fully committed to providing the services described in the RFP, and greatly value this opportunity to be of service to the City of Delray Beach. We are hopeful to take the next steps in creating a collaborative, transparent partnership with the City, and seek to facilitate a continuing dialogue using the following Summary Overview (our proposed roadmap to success and commensurate operating plan) as a basis for our discussions. While Lanier prides itself on Standard Operating Procedures, best practices, ambassador-based services, accountability and internal audit functions, Lanier is not a business as usual company. As such, our Proposed Solution for the City is designed to seamlessly integrate into, and accommodate today’s parking dynamic while adapting to the evolving needs and demands that will be placed on the City’s parking assets (now and in the future) by its growing parking population (particularly visitors). With our experience in municipal parking operations, we have developed effective communication protocol with our public sector clients, regardless of the type of program. Lanier is seeking to participate in bi-weekly, face-to-face meetings with the appropriate City of Delray Beach Staff member(s), in Delray Beach, from the time the Contract is signed until approximately 60 to 90 days thereafter, or as mutually agreed upon. The switch to weekly meetings will ensure that the Lanier Team is on the same schedule as the City. Client and Operator communication is key to ensure successful operations, and Lanier will put the appropriate processes in place to ensure that important messages are delivered consistently to the City and its stakeholders, whether during the transition period, ongoing operations and/or special projects and events. ii. The overall approach to delivering the Scope of Services. Today’s public sector environment demands total accountability. In governance, as with public parking contracts, accountability has expanded beyond the basic definition of the term. It is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for policies, actions, decisions, products and services, including the implementation of, and administration encompassing reporting, explaining and being answerable for all outcomes and consequences. This ever-increasing level of public scrutiny and stakeholder involvement requires more than just tactics of Parking Management 101. Lanier will embrace accountability, not only in our City of Delray Beach operations, but to the City’s stakeholders and parking populations; visitor, resident and employee. We understand that a government contract is more than simply the outsourcing of a vendor service; it is an implied arm (or extension) of a government body. Hence, the entire basis of our approach is founded on the premise of working with the City of Delray Beach and its stakeholders to forge a transparent, proactive, efficient, sustainable and accountable “public parking partnership.” 56 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services iii. Goals that the Proposer would like to achieve. The Lanier team seeks to meet and exceed the City’s goals and objectives from and after this RFP. We formulated our response accordingly, and would like to address and achieve the following vital program components: A Seamless Transition and Ongoing Management and Operation of the City’s parking system to ensure the safety of the City’s constituents and visitors, as well as increasing revenues; Effective and Efficient Management Controls; Efficiency in Staffing and Vendor Management; Facilitating Continuous Program Improvements; Proactive Event Parking Management and Logistics; Working w/Local Firms to Facilitate our Value Proposition; Deploying Enforcement “Ambassadors” to Enable Superior Customer Service; Acting in a Consultative Capacity to Provide Best-in-Class Solutions to the City; Proposed Operational Methodology – On and Off-Street Best Practices; Transparent Bookkeeping, Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting; Integrating New Technology and Maintaining the City’s Parking Equipment; Keeping the Facilities in Clean, Safe, Secure and Presentable Condition at All Times Success Through Collaboration An overriding goal for Lanier is to create a collaborative working partnership with the City of Delray Beach and provide solutions that will develop and continuously improve the City’s parking program immediately, and for years to come. At Lanier, we believe parking is the glue that holds a Downtown together, and we take pride in our ability to adapt and take on new responsibilities. Lanier views itself as a value-added member of every community in which we operate, and is committed to providing the City of Delray Beach the highest level of service to support its visitors, residents, merchants and local tax payers. 57 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services iv. Narrative that demonstrates working knowledge and understanding of the requirements of the Scope of Services. We read and digested the contents of the RFP and Addenda, as well as the comprehensive report from Kimley-Horn, and visited the City multiple times during our due diligence phase. Indeed, we believe the City of Delray Beach would benefit greatly from a coordinated, comprehensive parking management program and communications effort (including authentic stakeholder engagement) to accommodate its objectives from and after this RFP. Lanier is committed to perform these services in accordance with the requirements outlined in the RFP. Moreover, our approach for Delray Beach goes well beyond the traditional premise of managing the City’s new parking program. We strive to become an extension of the City itself, as Parking Ambassadors, fostering a positive public message, becoming part of the fabric of the City, using our advanced parking management techniques, technology tools and best practices to lead the way; operating from a place of passion, Standard Operating Procedures, efficiency and excellence. Lanier will focus our operational plan around the Scope of Services, and shall execute accordingly. v. Details of implementation plan and schedule. Transition Plan Lanier’s dedicated professionals know how important a truly seamless transition is to the City. We have handled numerous transitions for public sector clients throughout the country, many of which were for beach/tourist-based cities. We begin every new location and public parking program knowing a successful startup is absolutely critical and essential to establishing credibility and confidence with our clients, their stakeholders and parking customers. That’s why our goal during any transition period is to do everything in our power not to disrupt every-day business. Over the past five (5) years, Lanier and its affiliated group of companies has completed hundreds of new location transitions, several of which were for municipal parking programs. With our experience in transitioning new locations, we have developed effective communication protocol regardless of the type of program, and our municipal on and off-street transitions are no exception. As outlined in our Transition Timeline below, Lanier is planning bi-weekly face-to-face meetings with the appropriate Delray Beach Project Manager and/or member(s), from the time the Contract is signed until approximately 60 to 90 days thereafter, or as mutually agreed upon. The switch to weekly meetings will ensure that the Lanier Transition Team is on the same schedule as City Staff. 58 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Transition Team Tony Caffey, Transition & Acquisition Manager Tracy Kalteux, Senior Vice President of Human Resources Fred Bredemeyer, CAPP, Florida Division Leader Jeff Crimmins, Regional Vice President Steve Resnick, CAPP Senior Vice President, Municipal Division Kerry Loomis, Director, Municipal Operations Karen Quinn, Controller Winston Cooper, Director of Loss Prevention & Risk Management Amanda Taff, Information Technology Manager Transition Process Our transition process is systematic and methodical. Lanier uses a comprehensive Transition Checklist to ensure that every detail of the transition is covered. As soon as a new Contract is awarded, the Transition Team meets with Executive Leadership to discuss the Scope of the Project, understand all the details and client concerns, and to begin execution of the Transition Checklist. This checklist is tracked through an electronic project management tool (i.e. GANTT chart). A Timeline for completion of the Delray Beach project is developed, based on the lead-time given prior to start-up. Transition Team Meetings are held weekly, with the Checklist and Timeline updated regularly to share information with all parties involved in the transition. The local Transition Team stays in communication with the City through status updates and to discuss any questions, concerns, or problems that may arise. Our team at National Headquarters will also work with the City of Delray Beach to develop a communications plan for current customers/parkers regarding the transition. Details of our transition process include: 59 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services A site-specific analysis and survey to determine the City’s specific needs Preparation of a written timetable with measurable goals A transition management team specifically assigned to the City of Delray Beach Development of a detailed instruction and operations manual Selective recruiting and careful screening based on the needs of the parking program Within the weekly meetings to transition the parking program, assignments are discussed and distributed among the departments within Lanier’s Headquarters. Our Transition Plan includes the Following Fundamental Elements and Processes The Transition Process starts with the notification that we will assume management of the City’s parking program. At that point, our Transition & Acquisition Manager, Tony Caffey, will convene the Transition Team into a series of meetings and communications to ensure that no item is overlooked. Local staff will: Order cash/coin counter, safe and vehicles Define needs for office supplies, parking tickets, signage, and other miscellaneous items for advance ordering If necessary, adjust staffing levels and scheduling of hourly staff Our Management Team shall meet routinely with City Staff On the first day of operation, and perhaps even the first week should the City deem appropriate, additional management support will be on hand to greet arriving parkers to ensure efficiency and provide support to the hourly staff as they perform their new job duties. We will also observe and coach the hourly staff to ensure exceptional service. At the City’s request, we can host opening day activities to include light breakfast items, giveaways, bottles of water etc., for the City’s patrons. Delray Beach Implementation Plan 60 Days from Go Live Date In addition to the protocol outlined above, our proposed General Manager for the City of Delray Beach, Juan Perez, is a seasoned veteran with multiple years in the industry. Mr. Perez will work side-by-side with Fred Bredemeyer, Jeff Crimmins, and Kerry Loomis, our Director of Municipal Operations, learning all facets of the Delray Beach parking operation. The team will focus on the goals for the City and our Company as its Operator, as well as develop customized orientations for our frontline team. 60 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Together, alongside our Transition Team (as detailed later in this proposal), our Project Manager will work collaboratively with the City on the following items and tasks within the first sixty (60) days after the award. 30 Days from Go Live Date Ambassador Training - As referenced in our Proposed Solution, each of the Ambassadors will obtain the required Parking Enforcement Specialist (PES) Training Certification required by the Florida State Statue 316.640. Classes will be for a total of 16 hours. This is mandatory for any personnel who will be writing parking violations and all costs are covered under Lanier’s operating budget. The course not only covers the statues that are needed for parking enforcement in Florida, it also covers subjects like safety, booting, customer service and courtesy, new technology, recent changes in the law, professional appearance and the history of parking and why it is necessary for most municipalities to function. It will cover subjects such as how to look for violations, and special event parking. Parking garages, lots and on-street parking are all covered in this class course. A typical Lanier transition involves several members of our corporate, operational, and executive staff. Each member of the Transition Team has a defined role from the time the contract is signed, through the first week of operation and even for a period of time thereafter. It is important to Lanier that every employee be trained to the fullest in order to support the growth of the operation and respect the tight controls in place. vi. Describe Proposer’s strategies to ensure accessibility and availability of its corporate management team and support staff during the term of the Agreement. Lanier understands that the City of Delray Beach parking operations require a multi-level support structure – Executive Management Team, Senior Management and an On-Site team. Lanier’s executive management team will ensure accessibility and availability while providing corporate oversight to the City’s operations throughout the course of the contract. The Senior Management will act as the liaison between the City, Executive Management Team, and the On-site Team. Our on-site management team will again commit themselves to spearheading communication with the City through routine meetings, updates, and reports – dedicating themselves to the continued success of the parking operations. vii. Overall staffing plan to include an organization chart depicting the positions proposed and the reporting structure to include hiring for special events. Staffing Plan Our proposed Staffing Plan for these operations not only establishes, but will enhance the City’s potential for customer service. We do this while maximizing wages for our front-line employees. All Lanier employees will provide first-in-class service to the City’s parking patrons ~ with a smile and friendly hello. 61 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Dedicated maintenance personnel will ensure the long-term viability of the subject parking facilities, so we have budgeted for a comprehensive and preventive maintenance program to ultimately limit expenses and increase revenue for the City; ensuring existing and new facilities and equipment are well maintained and functioning properly. Lanier believes the foundation of a consistently successful operation begins with our people and how they interact with others; clients and customers alike. This fundamental groundwork of our Staffing Plan enables our senior management and executive teams to custom design the framework of how Lanier, along with the City’s input, believes the operation should function. Lanier will staff the parking operations with a team of professional, efficient, and highly trained employees capable of delivering the highest level of service. We want Delray Beach residents and visitors to recognize our uniformed employees, adding the opportunity to build a closer, friendlier relationship with them. Additionally, we understand that a quality operation begins with on-site leadership that delivers the results the City expects. Lanier personnel will be present and actively addressing the needs of local businesses, residents and visitors; all while focusing on achieving a high level of customer service. Staffing Schedules We recognize static schedules are subject to change based on weather, special events, demand (increased or reduced), future adoption of partial or full automation, and the City’s evolving parking program. Lanier’s on-site management personnel will always monitor and evaluate our Staffing Plan and make recommendations to the City of Delray Beach regarding operating hours and labor requirements. viii.Detail the types and functionality of equipment and technology to be utilized and Proposer’s plan for the implementation of and on-going support to include the following: (1) Revenue control equipment Lanier will be utilizing three (3) equipment vendors to deliver superior revenue control to the City of Delray Beach that will support our personnel on the ground. The solutions have been detailed in the various sections below. Lanier understands the City’s desire to install replacement multi-space paystations in the garages vs. a closed access system. (2) Multi-space parking technology Lanier has experience with several multi-space vendors in the industry. We also understand the City of Delray Beach has issued an RFP for the multi-space equipment. With our established existing relationships, Lanier is more than confident our maintenance team will work directly with their project manager for the installation. 62 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Lanier also commits to work with the City officials in determining the exact placement for the proper deployment in Delray Beach. Current placement recommendations include replacing the existing fifteen (15)paystations and the existing on-street single space meters on Atlantic Avenue. Expanded paid parking should be strategically placed in the Central Core Area to support the businesses with the turnover they need. The time limit for parking will then be measured by a variable rate schedule based on demand occupancy. This will also reduce the appeal rate for the number of violators that simply wipe off the chalk or simply move up a space on the same block. While the City may have its own preferences for said paystations and this may be flushed out through the RFP process, we thought it might be helpful to point out a few differences in the technology provided by Parkeon. Other multi-space paystation manufacturers have merits as well, but not every paystation solution is geared towards specific constituent and/or service needs in given cities. Parkeon has a CLOUD system that allows communication from the City to its customers. It allows for interaction with 3rd party applications such as Passport, which will be discussed in detail below. Parkeon paystations have the ability to take citation payments directly at the paystations, which allows customers to pay and go with a direct import into Passport’s citation database. For budgeting purposes, Lanier has budgeted for the following: Monthly fee is $50/meter/month (15 Units per the RFP for Multi-Space Paystations) Wireless Communication Credit Card Fee: (Parkeon does not have any additional fee per transaction - they are all inclusive) Back Office Hosting and Reporting (otherwise known as EMS or IRS) City News: Capability to display text or image on the meter that are chose and customized by the City Validation Codes: allow to have a discount or free time / free parking when a code is entered Again, Lanier is able to work with any vendor the City chooses in this process; and works with multiple vendors in this regard in our existing deployments; however, given our recommendation to use Passport, our proposed paystation pricing was obtained through Parkeon. (3) License plate recognition technology Passport’s solution will improve the overall efficiency and compliance of the City of Delray Beach by complementing the enforcement officers out in the field. Partnering with Genetec, Passport is able to provide License Plate Recognition (“LPR”) technology to its clients. This feature allows the City to improve the efficiency and speed of a single parking enforcement officer in a car outfitted with Genetec’s automatic license plate recognition (“ALPR”) cameras. 63 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Integrating LPR technology with Passport’s suite of products, the City or our Ambassadors can quickly scan license plates and gather all pertinent information associated with that license plate number (“LPN”). The scanned LPN passes through the software, which searches Passport and State records for black and white listed vehicles. If the search returns a negative report, the software will push notifications, image data, and GPS locations to the officer’s handheld device. This ultimately allows officers to cover more ground and enforce more accurately. The Hardware Genetec’s system, AutoVu, automates license plate reading and identification, making it easier for parking enforcement officers to enforce parking restrictions. The vehicle-mounted hardware system automatically captures license plate characters, vehicle images, timestamps, and GPS coordinates, decreasing the number of parking ticket disputes and increasing the rate of compliance. By scanning license plates with AutoVu, the City can complete enforcement routes faster with less PEOs. Lanier will be deploying three (3) ambassadors in energy efficient vehicles equipped with LPR cameras. There will also be one (1) on-street supervisor deployed during peak hours for added support. Garage LPR Enforcement sPark is an automated parking experience for registered Passport parkers. This feature allows parkers to park in a garage without having to stop at a pay station. A registered parker’s license plate number (“LPN”) will be picked up by license plate recognition technology (“LPR”) once they enter the garage, which will initiate the session. When the parker leaves and the LPR reader is no longer able to detect the LPN the session will stop automatically. The parker’s registered form of payment will not be charged until after the session is complete. To register for this program, a parker will save vehicles to their account, by LPN, as well as select a default payment method. When the vehicle enters the garage, the LPR will scan the LPN and run the number against Passport’s list of registered parkers. If the LPN is connected to a registered parker, Passport’s backend system will confirm the payment method and begin the parking session. The status of this parking session will be automatically pushed to the enforcement software to ensure accurate enforcement. To take full advantage of this feature, the City will have to install LPR cameras throughout the non- gated parking garages that it controls so that every parking bay is monitored. Passport integrates with several LPR providers already and will be happy to suggest a provider if the City wishes to purchase new LPRs. An added bonus of this functionality is targeted enforcement. By utilizing LPR technology within an enclosed space, Passport’s system is able to detect exactly where a vehicle is located within the garage. If a parker is not registered with sPark and hasn’t otherwise initiated a parking session, Passport can send targeting information to the enforcement software after the City-specified grace period has expired. 64 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (4) Parking sensor technology Parking sensors can become expensive and costly to maintain for little return on the investment. Occupancy data can be collected with the right amount of integrations from payments made at the multi space paystation and consistent enforcement through LPR technology. Lanier would like to introduce UIG that will provide that data and reports needed to provide the city with real time occupancy. The cost has been added to the amortization listed items at the end of this section. URBAN INNOVATION GROUP SMART PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BY URBAN INNOVATION GROUP Please see the following pages for more information about UIG. 65 2 WHO IS UIG? Urban Innovation Group believes that the core of a true “Smart Parking” system is a cloud based platform that enables data and process transparency. Parking meters, mobile payment apps, and wayfinding tools are singular solutions to a much larger problem. The convergence of these technologies and the migration to mobile is inevitable. The UIG platform was designed to bring these puzzle pieces together and be the backbone of a parking system. Parking operators can now manage the transition from equipment to the virtual world. ● Over 110,000 spaces managed ● 75,000 spaces managed in Moscow ● 10,000 spaces managed in Kazakhstan 66 3 UIG CLOUD PLATFORM ● Parking can no longer be viewed as stand-alone infrastructure.

UIG can integrate and aggregate the data elements from the various parking technologies deployed and provide parking administrators with a complete view of their parking system. These data elements can include parking meter and mobile payment platforms as well as information from city budgets and enforcement platforms. UIG dashboards and analytics modules integrate transaction, payment, citations and other data from various channels such as parking meters, mobile applications, off-street systems, the UIG customer web portal, enforcement programs, and others into the one solid database. This complete view removes the need to manages multiple reporting platforms and toggle between platforms when generating reports or system KPIs. Effective pricing models are dependent upon the data that drives them. Incomplete data leads to incomplete decisions. The UIG platform incorporates all relevant parking data so that system administrators can make effective decisions that maximize the value of the parking system. This value not only includes revenue generation but also the public experience with the parking system. UIG leverages on this data to create occupancy and demand forecasts. The result is a demand based pricing model that dynamically selects and recommends optimal rates for on-street parking zones (including progressing and dynamic tariff) or off-street parking zones and objects based on forecasted demand, arrival date, length of stay and more. 70 7 SCOPE OF WORK UIG REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INCORPORATES: ● UIG dashboards and analytics modules integrate transaction, payment, citations and other data from various channels such as parking meters, mobile applications, off-street systems, the UIG customer web portal, enforcement programs, and others into the one solid database. ● UIG dashboards and analytics modules allow getting and filtering information by: • On street/off street parking • Country/City/Parking Zone/ Parking Place/ Garage • Report on specific date ranges 71 8 SCOPE OF WORK FORECAST FOR PARKING ZONES Best-in-class Analytics – using transaction level data to provide accurate forecasting, the system automatically learns from and reacts to demand pattern changes, enabling informed recommendations to deliver maximum revenue and occupancy 72 9 SCOPE OF WORK OFF-STREET AND ON-STREET FORECAST ING 73 10 SCOPE OF WORK OCCUPANCY FORECASTING With the right approach and historical data, parking occupancy forecasts can go far deeper than manual processes and educated guesses, yielding new insights that elevate business performance.

(“Passport”), Lanier’s subcontractor for this offering, is pleased to present a mobile technology solution for the City of Delray Beach, FL (the “City”). Passport currently serves over 250 clients total, more than 35 of whom use the Citation Management Platform, including Omaha, NE; Salt Lake City, UT; and New Haven, CT. As the largest provider of mobile applications for parking and transit in North America, Passport has the knowledge and capability to provide the most robust total platform to the City - from mobile payments to ticket issuance to ticket payments. By working with the City, Passport understands the entire value chain including monitoring, citation issuance, citation appeals, payment, and collections. Passport platform is capable of handling massive amounts of transaction in real time, and is currently processes 500,000+ citations annually and processes over $200 MM in payments annually. This technological superiority and attentiveness to customer services has yielded a 100% client retention rate while maintaining 95% of its contracts on a month to month basis. Municipalities partner with Passport because of a commitment to creating a memorable user experience coupled with a backend platform to save operational time and cost while generating additional revenue. Passport is uniquely positioned to be the best provider for the City of Delray Beach due to the following success factors: Fully Integrated Ecosystem Passport’s entire suite of products is seamlessly integrated with its backend management portal, Operator Management (“OpsMan”). Additionally, Passport operates on an open API, meaning that it is able to integrate easily with almost any other software. Some of Passport’s key integrations include NLETs for scofflaw and DMV lookups and Genetec for LPR technology. Having the capability to control the entire system from one web-based portal will streamline all of the City’s parking management processes. Future Proof Technology changes so rapidly that it is imperative to choose a partner committed to the long-term success of the program. Passport strives to continuously deliver upgrades and enhancements directly related to improving the overall technology experience for all program stakeholders. Passport’s and the City’s interests are aligned to maximize yield and provide the best and most operationally efficient tools at all times. 80 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Real-Time Enterprise Platform The brain of Passport’s suite of products is the backend management tool, Operator Management (“OpsMan”), which continuously aggregates data in real time. OpsMan gives the City a constant flow of data and complete control of the parking environment. OpsMan pulls data from the citation issuance software, OpsMan Mobile, which a City administrator may query and run reports on immediately. Knowing the full depth and breadth of the parking environment, the City will be able to make decisions backed up by daily, weekly, and monthly data trends. The easiest way to use Passport’s Mobile Payment for Parking platform is through the native iOS or Android app. Once a parker downloads the app from the Google Play or Apple App Store, they will only need to enter the zone number, space number, and a single piece of identifying information to begin a parking session. The parker does not need to register in order to use the app, but registering does streamline the process for the next parking session. A parker may pay using a credit or debit card, paypal, or a dedicated wallet. Additionally, certain parking sessions may be paid for by a local business in exchange for patronage. Mobile Web Even though the vast majority of Smartphone users use either an Android or Apple device, there are still a number of users with different operating systems. To accommodate all Smart Phone owners, Passport’s Mobile Payment for Parking website is configured to run on a mobile web server, allowing anyone with internet access to pay using Passport. IVR In accordance with the ADA, Passport offers an IVR payment method that allows those with colorblindness or other disabilities the capability to pay for parking via the telephone. The parker will be prompted to provide specific information related to parking zone and space number. Once this information is received, the parking session will begin. SMS Passport understands that not every parker has a Smartphone; therefore, the Mobile Payment for Parking platform is configured to receive payment via SMS. The parker will be prompted to provide specific information to initiate and pay for their session from any cellular telephone. Registration Passport’s mobile payment platform is the simplest, most robust mobile payment solution on the market. As the only provider using progressive profiling for registration, parkers register using only information needed at that specific point in the process, in contrast to populating an entire profile at sign up. 81 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services For example, Passport’s platform only requires one piece of identifying information (phone number, email, or public Facebook profile) and a valid credit or debit card to pay for parking; payment card information is only requested once a transaction is initiated, in an effort to streamline the registration and avoid ‘hang ups.’ Passport understands that most adopters of the system do so as they are about to purchase their first parking session, as opposed to planning in advance; therefore, Passport focused on making the registration process as quick and easy as possible. With just two clicks, Parkers can create their account using their public information on Facebook. Facebook login does not give Passport access to any other information or let Passport post to a parker’s Facebook account. If a parker registers the first time they use Passport, each subsequent session will only require they enter a four digit pin. Payment Options Passport Parking accepts payments in the form of debit or credit cards, PayPal, validation codes, a prepaid Wallet, or through a corporate account. Merchant Validation Passport promotes local businesses by incorporating them into the downtown parking environment. Passport’s solution allows merchants and retailers throughout the City to subsidize and validate the parking costs of its customers on all municipal metered spaces. The advantages of this feature are seen on every level: the City turns community leaders into advocates for the mobile payment platform, the business incentivizes parkers to visit their store fronts, and the parker has money put back in their wallet. Research has shown that by offering merchant validation, a customer’s duration in a store increases by 13%, parker satisfaction with the application increases, and more parkers adopt the mobile application as their primary means of purchasing parking. To ease the burden on the City, Passport operates this program completely independently of the City’s portal. When a business signs up for the discount program, the system will generate unique coupon codes, which the City can distribute to participating businesses. The City should recognize value immediately. Coupons Passport will create an online portal where merchants can purchase and generate coupon codes. While purchasing parking, the merchant may also choose to distribute the codes via email, text, or printed handouts in the store. The codes can be used prior to payment or retroactively, acting as a credit against the next parking session. Every code is unique and may only be used one time to prevent fraud and abuse. Digital Wallet Passport’s Digital Wallet is the industry’s only closed-loop system, lowering costs, offering more control, and increasing customer loyalty over typical card-present situations. Passport’s Digital Wallet provides the City’s parking customers the ability to add and store prepaid funds in their account. When the parker pays using the Digital Wallet, the transaction is simply deducted from the prepaid account rather than being charged to a credit or debit card. 82 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services The key differentiator of Passport’s Digital Wallet is that all merchant processing savings are passed on to the City. When a parking session is initiated, the money goes straight to the City’s account. There is no waiting for funds or calculating receivable days. This stands in stark contrast to other mobile payment wallets that operate on open-loop systems, where software providers or escrow companies hold the funds. Using Passport’s dedicated wallet, the City can reduce merchant processing costs by up to 71%. What the City chooses to do with these savings is up to the City, but other cities have passed on these savings to parkers, increasing utilization and loyalty to the product. Promotional discounts, including waiving the convenience fee on wallet transactions, incentivize parkers to use the wallet, which further benefits the City’s bottom line. Extend Parking Remotely After initiating a parking session, the parker is free to go about their day without concern for their parking session. When the session is 15 minutes away from expiring, the parker will be notified by their phone. Upon receiving this notification the parker has three options: (1) return to their car, (2) ignore the notification and risk a ticket, or (3) extend their parking remotely. Using the same method that the parker used to initiate the session, the parker may easily extend their parking session. The City can control how many times and for how long the parker may extend their time, ensuring that this convenience is not abused. The parker’s credit or debit card is not charged until the end of the session, meaning that extending a parking session only incurs a single charge for the parker and a single merchant processing fee for the City. At the end of a parking session, the parker’s method of payment will be processed and a receipt will be generated. If the parker has not registered their account, they will be prompted to enter an email address to be sent a receipt. However, if the parker has registered their account, the receipt will be automatically emailed to them and available in ‘Parking History.’ A registered account will have a menu option that tracks all parking transactions. From this page, the parker will be able to view and organize all parking receipts. If the parker needs to resend a receipt to them or a third party for reimbursement or accounting purposes, they will be able to do so from this page. The transactions are organized in the order they were received. 83 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (6) Garage maintenance equipment Lanier will be purchasing two (2) pressure washers each year to support the garage maintenance responsibilities. This will allow spot treatment immediately for stairwells and drive lanes. (7) On-line payment of parking citation Mobile Friendly To increase the likelihood of payment and provide a memorable experience, RMCPay is mobile friendly. The webpage will automatically detect the device’s screen size and adjust the user experience accordingly. For example, when a mobile device screen size is detected, a custom mobile drop-down menu is served to that violator, making it significantly easier to navigate the page. Additionally, on the mobile version, the violator need not scroll down to the bottom of the screen to send information to the system, the information will be returned merely by hitting “send” from the keyboard. Citation Aggregation When the violator visits the site, they will be prompted to look up the citation by either a license plate number (“LPN”) or the citation number. Based on the LPN entered, the system will return all citations associated with that LPN. If the violator has multiple outstanding citations, they will be able to pay for all or a selected few of the citations at one time. In addition to paying for all citations at one time, the violator will also be able to see details associated with each citation. These details include the street address where the vehicle was parked at the time of issuance, any photographs taken by the enforcement officer to support the citation, notes made public by the enforcement officer, the date of issuance, reason for the citation, vehicle make, any late fees, and appeals history. If the violator is marked as a scofflaw, RMCPay will alert the violator of this, explain the reason for the designation, the consequences of the designation, and how to reconcile your account. Payment Process After the violator has selected which citations to pay, they will be brought to a payment portal. To ease the payment process, Passport will prefill specific data, such as the billing address state. The violator can then pay using a credit or debit card. 84 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Appeals Process If the violator believes that they were issued the citation in error, they will have the option to appeal the citation through RMCPay. The City has the option to allow violators to appeal. By simply clicking the “Appeal” button, the violator will be prompted to enter their reason for appeal, provide an argument, and upload supporting photographic evidence. When a violator appeals a ticket, the data input will be available immediately in OpsMan. The data in OpsMan will be made available to that City administrator who is responsible for citation adjudication. If the municipal court system handles this process, the City can grant limited OpsMan access to the Clerk of Courts or other personnel as necessary. If the appeal is granted or the fine amount is adjusted, the City administrator need only update OpsMan and RMCPay will adjust accordingly, in real time. Customer Service For those violators who do not have a smart phone, internet access, or otherwise cannot use the RMCPay website, Passport also offers payment and support via a telephone. Passport will receive the calls, record the payment, and take notes, all of which will be documented in OpsMan. Any notes taken by the Passport Customer Support team will be forever attached to the citation. The call center will be staffed Monday-Friday to answer all inquiries from violators. The call center will also be available to answer any questions that any violator may encounter while using RMCPay. Passport offers a premium service, which is the ability to customize and brand a website for the City. Passport pioneered the private label movement in parking and transportation, and understands that every town is unique and the technology used should reflect that. Passport will build a website for parkers in the City to be able to purchase hourly or daily parking sessions, parking permits, and pay for parking citations through one portal. Passport’s branded payment website will be branded across all communications, creating a higher level of awareness and increased utilization of the system. Passport’s solution allows the City’s name to stand out front and center. Passport will partner with the City to create a unique website tailored to specific needs. Whether the City needs a standard solution branded in the City’s colors or a fully customized platform, Passport delivers best-in-class technology. 85 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (8) Network security for all transactions and information Passport is a payments processing company, and in order to do this effectively, security is the number one concern of everyone at Passport. Passport goes above and beyond required security measures to provide peace of mind to cities, parkers, violators, permit holders, and riders. PCI-DSS Compliance Any merchant that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data is required to maintain payment security of that information. PCI security standards lay out the technical and operational requirements for software developers and manufacturers of applications and devices used in payment transactions. PCI Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) provide actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process -- including prevention, detection, and appropriate reaction to security incidents. Passport maintains PCI-DSS Version 3.1 compliance. No sensitive information is stored or transferred on the Passport database. The only information stored on the database are names, phone numbers, and email addresses. All credit card information is stored in an isolated card storage database. That data is encrypted and tokenized to reduce the risk of credit card fraud in the event of a breach. SSAE-16 The Statement of Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 is the authoritative guide for reporting on service organizations. Using these standards, Passport is audited by an Independent Auditing Firm, which issues a Service Auditor’s Report. The Report outlines the chain of control and risk associated with internal operations. Passport completes SSAE-16 audits annually for its mobile payment transactions. Price Waterhouse Coopers In addition to other security standards and audits that Passport regularly engages in, Price Waterhouse Coopers conducts ethical hacking on Passport’s system yearly. PWC hackers attempt to break Passport’s system, searching specifically for security flaws. Any issues that arise from this exercise are immediately relayed to Passport and fixed. A-LIGN Passport hires A-LIGN to assist in meeting specific auditing and security assessment needs. A-LIGN helps navigate security standards for credit card transactions and ensures that Passport continually meets and exceeds those standards. 86 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Secure Socket Layer Passport utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to securely transfer sensitive data between the application and servers. SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. Passport only stores the name and email address of the parker, violator, permit holder, or rider on the application while all other sensitive data is stored on a secured, firewall protected server. Gateway Provider Passport is listed as a certified gateway provider on both Visa and MasterCard’s national registries. Additionally, Passport is recognized as a sponsored service provider for both companies as well. OpsMan Internal security standards are managed through Passport’s backend system, Operator Management (“OpsMan”). OpsMan restricts access to data via permissions defined by the City for the administrators. Roles can be created such that specific titles correspond to specific access permissions. Passport will only have access to the username (either email or phone number) of administrators for troubleshooting and customer support. (9) Emergency network backup Passport’s servers are hosted by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), a secure cloud services platform that stores databases and delivers content and functionality to its clients. Part of AWS’s service offering is the implementation and maintenance of virus and security software. Using AWS and its suite of products, Passport is able to offer peace of mind to the City. Database Storage Amazon Relational Database Services (“RDS”) houses Passport’s database. RDS provides multiple advantages to Passport such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, failure detection, and repair. Using AWS and RDS, Passport is able to scale easily, which means that every one of Passport’s clients’ utilization can grow quickly and all at the same time without affecting the efficacy of the database. Elastic Load Balancing Multiple servers exist within the system, each with the capacity to host the entire system. Amazon RDS automatically creates a primary database instance, which is simultaneously replicated to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone (“AZ”). Each AZ runs on its own physically distinct, independent infrastructure, and is engineered to be highly reliable. If a server becomes overloaded or fails, RDS performs an automatic failover to the standby instance. This means that the application can resume database operation without the need for manual intervention. Essentially, RDS protects the system from failure and the only potential lag time would be the amount of time it takes for the system to failover from one AZ to the next. 87 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Database Backup RDS offers automated backup, which allows for point-in-time recovery of Passport’s database instance. RDS backs up the database and transaction logs and stores both for a specified retention period, meaning that Passport can restore its database instance to any second during the retention period, up to the last five minutes. Passport’s entire database is backed up daily between 3:00-3:30AM EST, capturing all transaction logs. Each backup is saved for seven (7) days and will be able to recover all data and transaction logs up to the morning of the failure. Database Snapshots Amazon’s Simple Storage Services (“S3”) takes and stores database snapshots of the entire system. The snapshots are kept until explicitly deleted and are incredibly durable, allowing Passport to create a new instance of the database from the snapshot whenever needed or desired. These snapshots can be stored in separate AZs, giving an additional protection against any potential system failure or overload. Daily offsite snapshots are taken of the entire Passport database. Passport guarantees that its solution will have a 99.9% uptime. ix. Detail Proposer’s strategies for the following services: (1) Parking meter collections We will collect the City’s parking meters based on a schedule to be mutually agreed upon with the City of Delray Beach. We have budgeted and staffed our proposed operation; however, with the necessary collection personnel and shifts in order to collect the meters on an appropriate routine basis, subject to demand, based on our understanding of the RFP and visual observations of the City’s footprint. Subject to the specifics of each equipment manufacturer, whether for single or multi-space meter collections, we will follow the appropriate collections and revenue control protocol. Transactions will be linked to our entire revenue control system, which creates continuity and a complete picture. If a transaction is missing, the system allows the missing transaction to be identified and traced. Lanier’s stringent revenue control platform and corresponding procedures ensure that our Management Personnel and front-line team members have individual accountability for their work. In addition, Revenue Control for the City’s operations will be assured through: Proper training and review of employees Consistent supervision both on-site and off-site A system of records designed to create an audit trail We implement a cross-referenced series of procedures and reports detailing all revenue and traffic activity (optional). Our integrated system is specific to the parking industry, and can report standard and customized client information as needed. Complete budget information is maintained and used to analyze the monthly results of our operations. 88 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Additional information on our revenue control procedures and associated protocol follows below. (2) Collections accounting Management of Receipts Collected by Shift Lanier maintains a comprehensive system of internal cash controls on site and off. Maintaining the integrity of the City’s revenue stream is our top priority. All on-site personnel will work with the General Manager and our corporate accounting staff to ensure that all accounting protocol is followed, and all accounting information is processed in accordance with Company and City of Delray Beach guidelines and requests. Standard operating procedures follow: Revenues are recorded by revenue category, location and shift daily A complete audit trail of cash exists from ticket distribution to the final deposit in the bank Each Ambassador’s shift report and tickets are independently reviewed, recorded and verified Unannounced random audits are conducted on all Ambassadors several times each week by the General Manager and administrative staff (Assistant Manager and/or Accountant/Bookkeeper) Daily revenue reports are prepared to document receipts by category and location Revenue reports are always supported by validated deposit slips Senior management reviews revenue reports on a daily basis. Executive management reviews reports weekly and monthly Monthly revenue reports are prepared by location, summarizing daily revenue by category. Actual revenues are compared to budget on a monthly and annually Management strives to anticipate budget variances and takes appropriate action. Collections Platform from Passport Delinquency Notices Passport will customize a notification letter to the specifications of the City, which will be mailed to violators at set intervals of time. The City can create a different letter for each level of delinquency, with the fine amount increasing accordingly. During implementation Passport will configure the system to mirror the existing escalation and delinquency schedules. As delinquent citations in the City near an escalation point requiring a mailed notice, Passport will send batch queries to NLETS and gather current mailing information for those VIN and LPNs. Passport’s solution is a relational database, with the ability to tie similar records together utilizing LPN and VIN information. 89 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services In the event a vehicle owner has multiple outstanding citations, the system will automatically aggregate all records tied to that LPN and VIN. Should a violator’s plate return new information from NLETS, Passport’s solution will automatically update the owner information for all other outstanding citations attached to that LPN. When Passport has confirmed the mailing addresses, OpsMan will automatically generate delinquency notices based on the number of days delinquent the citation is. These letters will be sent out automatically, relieving the City of the stress of stuffing and stamping envelopes. If payment is received after receipt of the delinquency notification, OpsMan will reconcile the account and stop sending delinquency notices to that violator. Audit Trail Passport’s solution will automatically generate and print notification letters, in line with the City’s escalation schedule. Each letter generated and mailed will be tracked in the system. The City can query current and outstanding violations. Each letter sent will be attached to the citation detail within OpsMan and the City can view a copy of each letter sent. Every citation has its own audit trail so that at a glance the City can see every action taken on that citation from the time of issuance to final disposition. Operator Management (“OpsMan”) The brain of Passport’s suit of products is its backend system, Operator Management (“OpsMan”). OpsMan puts all management and analytics tools into the hands of the City administrator. System Configuration Chalking Setup Passport’s Citation Management Platform will allow parking enforcement officers to digitally chalk vehicles. There are several ways in which the chalking can be configured, all of which are managed within OpsMan. Regardless of the method (zone-based, block-based, or address- based), that will be fully established prior to launch. After launch, if the City wishes to make changes to the chalking areas that will be done entirely through OpsMan. Integrations Due to Passport’s open Application Programming Interface (“API”), integrations are easier and quicker. While Passport is implementing its product, it will also integrate with other necessary software to provide a seamless transition. Notification Letters Prior to launching the product, Passport will work with the City to create a template for notification letters. These letters will be automatically generated and mailed when a violator fails to pay their parking fine. A different letter will be created for each stage of delinquency and will fully comply with local and state regulations. Fine Escalation Schedule During implementation, Passport will configure the system to mimic the existing fine escalation schedule. If a fine doubles every 30 days without payment, OpsMan will automatically do the same, sending out a notification letter, and increasing the fine amount in OpsMan for accounting purposes. If the City ever changes this schedule, it will be able to do so from within OpsMan. 90 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services System Transparency Route Tracking City administrators will also have access to a route tracker to keep tabs on all parking enforcement officers. An administrator may either monitor the parking enforcement officers in real-time or see a replay of a given day, to ensure that everyone is staying on track and to plan routes more efficiently. These two tools combined will allow a parking management operation to work smarter rather than harder. Complete Control OpsMan puts all of the control into the hands of the City. From this backend system, a City administrator will be able to add time to make adjustments to citations and permits. Administrators will be able to manually adjust citations, fine amounts, reconcile accounts, add notes, and reprint citations. For all platforms, administrators will have the ability to update information including names, vehicle information, and LPNs. As an added layer of transparency, every adjustment made in OpsMan is time stamped with the username of the administrator making the adjustment as well a date and time. Reporting OpsMan aggregates data from all other platforms (Passport app, OpsMan Mobile, and RMCPay), allowing City administrators to access and analyze data in real time. OpsMan comes with certain predefined reports, but all data may be exported to Excel, giving the City even more control over management of the system. All reports can be manually run or scheduled to run in the future. Pre-scheduled reports can be set to run on a recurring or one-time basis. Predefined Reports OpsMan is configured to run reports on a myriad of topics and facets related to the entirety of the City’s parking environment. In running these reports, the City may choose the time frame, being as broad as total transactions and as a specific as a given day. OpsMan will come with the following reports ready to be run on the following topics: Limited Administrative Access Knowing that different roles and administrators have different data needs, Passport created OpsMan to easily limit access. The main City administrator will have access to all data and be able to easily manage different access levels. These levels can range from having access just to financial information for the City’s accountants, whereas parking enforcement officers only need access to citation issuance reports. The City’s adjudicators of citations can have access to the actual citation as well as appeals data and be able to update the status of an appeal as well as the fine amount. All of this is possible in OpsMan and is within the full control of the main City administrator. 91 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Customer Support Live Chat Support - Passport will offer live support, via the telephone, for any technical issues that the parker may encounter. However, when the parker has questions or issues with the actual parking structure, they will be directed to contact the City. To manage this influx of calls, Passport created a live chat support function between the parkers’ app and OpsMan. City administrators will be able to speak directly to parkers and solve problems, from any location with internet access. This improves the parker’s experience using the application and it releases the City from tying customer service to a particular call-center location. Client Success Knowledge Base - Knowledge Base is an online repository of training videos, online forums, and training materials, all of which are updated along with the software. Using Knowledge Base, City administrators will be able to chat with other OpsMan administrators in other cities to work through common problems; watch short training videos on new and old functionality; and access training manuals for each of Passport’s products. Passport’s Client Success Managers ensure that this information is updated regularly. If, for whatever reason, Knowledge Base does not address the City’s concern, the Client Success Manager is always on hand to resolve issues as needed. Client Care After contract execution, the City will be managed by Passport’s Client Success team. This team is made up of the Client Success Manager and a Client Care Associate. The Client Care Associate is devoted solely to the technical support of the City. Having a dedicated technical support line and representative ensures that the City receives the best service in a timely manner. The City will be able to contact the Client Care Associate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via email and during regular business hours via phone. Regardless of method of communication, all issues will be resolved in accordance with Passport’s backup procedures, which prioritize problems by the impact of the issue. The Client Care Associate will be in constant contact with the City throughout the resolution of the problem. All technical and operational support items should follow the outlined procedure: Email: help@passportinc.com Include the nature of the issue and any background that would be helpful in resolving the identified item. Phone: Immediately call 980-939-0990 The on-call team will respond to inquiries and take appropriate action. 92 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (3) Processing of all monies collected Security of Money All monies collected must be kept in a safe and secure environment during normal operating hours as well as after hours. Separate security precautions have been developed for “operating hours” and “after hours” storage of funds, if applicable. Operating Hours 1. Monies are to be kept in a lock box at all times throughout the day and are to be out-of-sight of customers at all times throughout the day 2. When the party responsible for monies is temporarily away from their desk, monies are to be stored in a secure lock box and either placed in the employee’s locked desk Manager. 3. Monies collected throughout the day are to be logged at the time of receipt on the proper transaction log Upon day’s conclusion, the employee is to balance their monies collected to the proper transaction logs, as follows: Monies are to be deposited in the proper account by management (or designated employee) Employee’s actions throughout the day must be evaluated to determine if negligent Supervisor or management must audit responsible employee’s bank and transaction logs If monies remain unbalanced, management is to contact Senior Management If unbalanced funds are not reported to the direct supervisor and/or management, the responsible employee may receive disciplinary action and/or termination After Hours 1. Only if applicable, all monies collected, verified and not deposited are to be given to management for overnight storage 2. If monies are coins from the cash registers or pay stations, each denomination is to be bagged/tied separately and stored in the safe overnight Inventory of coins are logged onto the “Coin Count Log” If pay stations are collected, cash should be deposited the day of collection If unable to be deposited, Senior Management must be contacted prior to the end of business day Cash is logged onto the “Safe Log” form for record keeping purposes 3. If monies are from the sales of permits or miscellaneous revenue (events, movie shoots etc.), the monies should be placed in a “bank bag” or lock box and placed into the safe for immediate deposit or overnight storage, then logged. 93 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services 4. After all monies are placed in the safe for overnight storage, management or designee is to secure the safe room by activating the safe room alarm 5. At the beginning of the next business day, management is to pull all funds to be deposited from the safe and verified by the employee responsible prior to the deposit being made Banking of Revenues Collected Daily In accordance with our standard operating and revenue control procedures for the management of receipts collected by shift (as outlined above), customer transactions are accounted for, reconciled through our reporting system, deposited into the City’s designated bank account on a daily basis, and summarized in daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports to the City. Revenue reports are always supported by validated deposit slips, which also become part of our audit trail. (4) Citation management Lanier and Passport understand that a transition to a new platform comes with multiple variables and high stakes. When it comes to such an important revenue stream for the City’s budget, the City cannot afford to trust a supplier without the proper expertise to complete this process and facilitate a seamless transition with zero loss of data. Lanier and Passport are expert at transitioning municipalities from a prior vendor’s services to their own, intuitive platform, including associated systems and data. Passport’s citation issuance platform, OpsMan Mobile, is a cloud-based application built on the Android operating system, which is dually advantageous to the City: updates do not require expensive hardware retrofits, nor does it take weeks for the store to approve each update as other handhelds and Apple does. In the last year, Passport updated its issuance software more than 50 times, pushing each update to the system in a matter of hours or days, depending on the needs of the City. 94 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Standard Functionality Custom Configuration During the implementation process, Passport will configure OpsMan Mobile to all state and local regulations related to moving violations. This includes customizing the codes associated with each cause of action. PEO Specific Each parking enforcement officer will have a unique username and password, which they will be required to enter at the start of every shift. When logged into the system, the officer’s name will automatically populate in OpsMan when issuing citations, creating a more efficient issuance process. Solution Wide Access to Data Unlike other providers, Passport’s solution will share data and information across all devices running OpsMan. All information is updated in real-time, giving every officer in the field a full picture of what is happening. For instance, when one parking enforcement officer chalks a vehicle, a second parking enforcement officer can issue the ticket after the allotted time has passed. Dynamic Search To further simplify the issuance process, OpsMan Mobile is completely dynamic. When a parking enforcement officer is checking a license plate number (“LPN”), as they enter each digit, the pool of LPNs that have paid to park diminish. Therefore, the parking enforcement officer may only need to enter in a couple of digits before confirming whether the parker paid for their session, which allows the officer to check plates Black and White Listing OpsMan Mobile can be configured to alert the parking enforcement officer if the LPN is registered to a vehicle that either should not be issued a citation or requires additional actions. If an LPN is registered to a state or municipal government official, that LPN can be listed in OpsMan Mobile as not being eligible for a citation. The City will have access to control this list through OpsMan and can limit administrator access to the list to prevent misuse. Aside from scofflaw and boot and tow warnings, which are automatically incorporated into the Citation Management Platform, the City can also request warnings for other criminal actions. For instance, stolen vehicle warnings, tax evasion, and arrest warrants. In Field Reporting OpsMan Mobile gives each parking enforcement officer the ability to report incidents from the field in real time and support those incidents with photographic evidence. If a parking enforcement officer notices a sign that has been vandalized or a malfunctioning parking meter, they will be able to take a picture of the issue and report it. OpsMan Mobile updates in real time to OpsMan, giving immediate notice to the appropriate City administrator. 95 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Passport also integrates with Genetec for LPR technology and can pull data from Genetec into the Citation Management Platform. This feature allows the City to improve the efficiency and speed of a single parking enforcement officer in a car outfitted with Genetec’s automatic license plate recognition (“ALPR”) cameras. Integrating LPR technology with Passport’s suite of products, the City can quickly scan license plates and gather all pertinent information associated with that license plate number (“LPN”). Data Collection Passport’s platform is more than just a citation issuance product; it has the capacity to collect, compile, and distribute data to create operational efficiencies. Passport collects data in real-time from OpsMan Mobile. That data is compiled in the backend system, OpsMan, allowing tickets to be accessed immediately from any web browser by using the LPN, driver’s license number, or citation number. The aggregated data can then be pushed to towing firms, municipal courts, and LPR systems to streamline the enforcement process. Heat Mapping To give the City a better understanding of the parking environment, City administrators will have a heat map to visually represent the data collected from OpsMan Mobile. Using these heat maps, the City will be able to tell where parking enforcement officers are which areas of the City receive the most citations, the density of parking areas in the city, and a lot more. Passport’s in-house development team continues to innovate this feature at the requests of each of its clients. Issuance Chalking OpsMan Mobile allows parking enforcement officers to electronically chalk vehicles. Chalking can be accomplished in one of three ways. The first is a blocking system, which takes note of which cross streets a vehicle is parked between. If the vehicle’s cross streets do not change between the times that a parking enforcement officer passes the vehicle and the time in between passes is greater than the allotted free parking time, the parking enforcement officer will be prompted to issue a citation. The second option is address based, where the parking enforcement officer will enter the address of the building that the vehicle is parked in front of. If the vehicle is still in the same area after the allotted free time, the vehicle will be eligible for a citation. The third option is zone-based and builds off of pre-created zones throughout the City. Using zones already created for citation issuance (or adding zones specifically for chalking purposes), the parking enforcement officer can select a zone to indicate where the vehicle is located. When the parking enforcement officer passes through the zone again, they will be able to verify whether the vehicle has surpassed the allotted time. Unlike other providers, OpsMan Mobile shares information across all parking enforcement officer’s devices. Therefore, if a parking enforcement officer chalks a vehicle and then a second parking enforcement officer passes the same vehicle several hours later, the second officer will have access to the first officer’s chalking data. 96 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Citation or Warning OpsMan Mobile gives the parking enforcement officer the option of choosing to issue a citation or merely a warning. In either instance, the data related to the vehicle is returned and stored in OpsMan. Scofflaw and Boot & Tow Notifications Passport is integrated with Nlets’ 50 state vast network of law enforcement data. Through this integration, OpsMan Mobile is able to instantly pull data associated with an LPN, including scofflaw and boot and tow information. OpsMan Mobile will alert the parking enforcement officer if an LPN is associated with a scofflaw. If the LPN does return a positive scofflaw alert, they will be prompted to take appropriate action, such as booting or towing the vehicle. The City can also grant limited OpsMan access to a designated towing company or the administrators responsible for booting, so they will have access to the data and can take action immediately. With this limited access, the towing or booting administrator will be able to tag a vehicle as “booted” or “towed” in OpsMan, which will also update to OpsMan Mobile in real time. Autocompletion To speed up the citation issuance process, OpsMan Mobile will autocomplete all data fields where there is a previous citation stored in OpsMan. When an officer enters an LPN into OpsMan Mobile, the system communicates with OpsMan, which queries the database for information related to that LPN. If that LPN has been issued a citation in the past, OpsMan will send all data back to OpsMan Mobile and autofill all vehicle information in real time. Real Time Uploading Passport’s cloud-based SaaS model means that all data is shared across all platforms and devices in real time. Immediately upon issuance the violator will be able to pay the citation, City administrators will be able to collect payment, and the data will be aggregated in OpsMan. Photographic Evidence Unlike other providers, OpsMan Mobile’s camera feature is a truly intuitive user experience. The camera will remain available from the moment it is opened, until the parking enforcement officer closes it, whereas other systems close the camera function after each picture is taken. Additionally, OpsMan Mobile’s camera function includes a thumbnail preview of the previous picture and keeps an accurate count of the number of pictures already taken for that citation. Offline Issuance Capabilities In order to log into OpsMan Mobile, the system needs to be connected to the internet. However, if the parking enforcement officer is in an area with limited or poor connectivity, they will still be able to issue citations. The parking enforcement officer will follow the same process to issue a citation offline, and when that parking enforcement officer enters an area with connectivity, any citations written with poor connectivity will automatically batch and update to OpsMan. 97 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Hardware Samsung Galaxy Mobile Phone or Tablet OpsMan Mobile is available on any Android device and may be downloaded from the Google Play Store at no cost. The City may use any mobile device with an Android 4.4 and up operating system, however, Passport strongly recommends the use of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and up or Samsung Galaxy S suite of products, S4 and up. If the City would prefer, Passport will procure and set up the phones and printers prior to shipping to the City to streamline the process. Zebra iMZ320 Passport recommends that the City use OpsMan Mobile in conjunction with a Zebra iMZ320 Bluetooth printer. These printers cost $600.00 each, are lightweight, durable, and easily available. Passport will provide the first three printers to the City free of charge and the connection to the Android devices will already be established. Passport designed OpsMan Mobile with these printers in mind and as such, the integration between the two is unparalleled. The City also has the option of purchasing accessories to enhance the parking enforcement officer’s user experience. For instance, shoulder straps, cases, and remote charging stations are all available for purchase through Passport. Reprinting The combination of OpsMan Mobile and a Bluetooth printer allows the parking enforcement officer to reprint citations in the field. If a printer runs out of paper, jams, the citation is ripped or blows away, the parking enforcement officer will easily be able to reprint the same citation without having to re-enter information. Paper Each citation will be printed on high quality, weather proof, poly-thermal, preprinted paper. Passport will customize the front of the citation to include the City’s name, the RMCPay website, which values need to be printed, the layout, barcodes, and other stylistic requirements. The City may choose to customize the back of the citation, including information related to payment options and the appeals process. End-User Experience Passport’s solution not only offers the City a best-in-class citation issuance platform, it also provides an extremely convenient end user experience. After a parker is issued a citation, they become a violator, at which point they have two options: appeal the citation if the City allows or pay the citation. Passport’s Resolve My Citation (“RMCPay”) feature allows the violator a single platform to accomplish both of those tasks. RMCPay is a custom-branded website bearing the City’s colors and seal to match other government websites and provide continuity to the City’s operations. RMCPay draws from data stored in OpsMan and updates in real-time, as OpsMan. 98 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Seamless Rollout On the citation management front, a preliminary export (dry run) is run on the data to be uploaded from the previous vendor into Passport’s platform. This dry run is done to encompass the migrated information and ensure that it is functioning correctly prior to the full import being completed during the scheduled conversion. Existing citations are exported into reports and formatted to fit into the new system. During the full conversion, Passport imports all existing data from most to least recent until the full library of historical data has been imported. Through experience, Passport has refined the process for a smooth transition. The process is as follows: Passport fully reviews all data exported for custom fields and citation status that needs to be converted. All conversions will occur on the weekend so as not to disrupt current operations; Pending appeals will be reconciled in the new system; Passport will leverage the City’s existing DMV lookup data, including holds, to ensure the most up-to-date system; All outstanding DMV requests will be converted into the Passport system; and Any leftover actionable tasks are completed in the existing system prior to transition to either be closed or cleanly imported into the new Passport system. Throughout the conversion to the Passport system, citation data from the previous provider will seamlessly transfer. For instance, a citation that has a status of “Open”, “Closed” or “Escalated” will maintain that same status in OpsMan. The same is true for DMV hold status and any notes associated with a citation. Passport will handle any other conversion-related issues that may arise during the transfer as well, making the conversion painless for the City and the end user. 99 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Steps to Get the City Started on Passport Working Groups: ➔ Passport will establish a working group to ensure that all key stakeholders are kept abreast of any updates. Configuration: ➔ Passport will configure the administrators using the system based on appropriate permissions for each department or function. Set up Rules: ➔ Passport will setup all citation types, escalation schedules, and other rules as defined by the City. Fleet Management: ➔ Passport will work with the fleets to setup new management accounts in the system. ➔ Rental car agencies will be informed about the new operations and what it means for them. Printer Paper: ➔ Passport will reformat the stock citation layout to meet the needs of the City prior to transition. ➔ Passport can customize not only the layout, but also the paper itself to be branded for the City. Go Live!: ➔ Up until the Go Live! date, the City will use its previous system with business operating as usual. ➔ At the Go Live! date, Passport will switch everything over to the new system, lockout access to the old system, and run everything through the new system. ➔ Passport will import all old citations into the new system and switch the payment method to the Passport’s payment portal, RMC Pay. ➔ All exported and imported data will be configured to match perfectly, providing a seamless switch to the end user. ➔ All IVR payments will be switched to the payment portal. ➔ Any new citation issued from the Go Live! date will be housed wholly in the Passport system. Lanier and Passport understand that no two cities are exactly the same and have transitioned cities from several other providers to the Passport system. The transition to Passport can be configured to the City’s unique needs. Passport can transfer the entire platform, including issuance, collections, lockbox integration; or only a limited platform such as citation issuance only. With a dedicated team and a proven plan, Lanier and Passport stand ready to provide a powerful platform and seamless transition for Citation Management to the City. 100 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (5) Parking enforcement We have already addressed this topic above, but want to share with the City that our philosophy in enforcement (the way we enforce your City’s ordinances as Ambassadors) is every bit as important as the protocol we use to issue citations. Here’s why: Parking enforcement is designed to promote safety, benefit central business districts and expedite traffic flow. For citation issuance programs, it is important for our Senior Management team and Subject Matter Experts to work closely with the City to develop very specific requirements and procedures for how to and when to issue a parking citation. The parking enforcement officer is the most visible employee of the program. It is vital that the parking enforcement officers conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times when in the field. Lanier has established a minimum standard of behavior for parking enforcement officers to adhere to and we are proud of our strong track record of hiring and putting in place reliable staff that can be trusted with collecting, counting, and depositing our Client’s funds: Provide as many management efficiencies as possible — Lanier will effectively manage the parking operations while maintaining clear separation between operation and revenues. On-site management personnel are required to make a bi-monthly operational review presentation updating the appropriate Lanier executives on your operation. Successes, challenges and new strategies are discussed at length. Area managers will make multiple visits, announced and unannounced, for planning and quality control purposes. Lanier executives and senior manager will make bi-monthly unannounced visits/inspections of your operations. In addition, these executives will work with the Lanier site team to develop strategic planning initiatives to present to the City and the appropriate team members. Effective Parking Enforcement: Reduces the incidence of parking situations, which are hazardous and could cause injuries or loss of life such as: Cars parking too close to intersections causing reduced visibility of motorists and pedestrians Double parking which presents roadway obstacles and narrows the usable width of roads causing side-swipe or rear-end accidents Blocking fire hydrants causing fire fighters to lose precious time hooking up hoses 101 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Increases the availability of short-term parking spaces for customers, clients and businesses by discouraging parkers from monopolizing scarce on-street parking spaces. This increases revenue for businesses by providing the perception of consistent, available parking for customers and clients. Effective enforcement ensures that loading zones are available to those that need them for the loading and unloading of supplies Decreases traffic congestion in the central business district by reducing incidences of: Cars parking in rush hour lanes Cars parking too close to intersections preventing vehicles from turning (6) Overall management of parking facilities to include street-side, surface and parking garages We have identified several cities for which we currently operate and additional references to address our experience in overall management of parking facilities that include street-side, surface lots and parking garages. Without repeating that information here, please note the following: Lanier will work with the City of Delray Beach as its partner to: Provide high level operational and customer service training for personnel on an ongoing basis. Take an active role in educating, informing, and assisting residents and visitors to ensure they become familiar and comfortable with the parking program. Streamline parking operations through establishing and maintaining high operational standards. Recommend equipment options to enhance the parking program, improve all levels of customer service, increase revenue controls, and reduce operating expenses. Deliver a professional parking enforcement program that focuses on customer service and benefits the city’s residents, visitors, and local businesses. Develop specific procedures and requirements for issuing and collecting parking citations. Evaluate parking rates to maintain competitive pricing and increase revenue. Develop a consistent and preventive maintenance program that reduces expenses and increases revenue by ensuring equipment is maintained and functioning properly. Establish designated patrol routes specifically to support the community’s needs. Provide the expertise to make a smooth transition to Lanier Parking. Provide you with the options, tools, and expertise for increased efficiencies, growth and streamlined services. Provide supporting services that includes Advanced Technology, Web-Based Accounting and Internal Audit Controls, HR Support, Training, Quality Assurance and Risk Management. 102 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (7) Managing special event parking Approach to Peak and Special Event Parking Lanier’s nimble approach to scheduling and logistics will greatly assist in accommodating Peak periods and Special Events taking place in and around each facility. We have vast experience running peak and special event parking and transportation dynamics for similar municipal parking programs, and have worked closely with our public sector clients and local businesses to satisfy the demands of peak periods and each individual event. Lanier takes a proactive approach to ensure all management personnel and scheduled staff members are knowledgeable regarding what drives peak demand and/or an actual event, in the parking lots and/or the surrounding area(s). Staff meetings will occur regularly and the General Manager will be on duty during all such periods and events. (8) Scheduling staffing for special events Staffing levels will remain flexible depending upon the dynamic, event and/or emergencies. Communication between Lanier and the City, including the various jurisdictional City Police and Fire Departments, will be constant before and during such peak periods and events. Protocol includes: Lanier will develop and implement a successful peak period and special event program for the City where individuals and entities have the ability to visit any of the parking facilities in the program and conduct business accordingly (if applicable) without concern for capacity. Our management team will review event calendars and hold monthly meetings to discuss future events taking place in and around each facility. During particularly high profile events, a member of Lanier’s upper management team shall help oversee all operations and act as a special liaison if the City so desires. Lanier personnel will continuously evaluate rates relative to demand to maintain competitive pricing for special events. Event Ambassadors Lanier can schedule event Attendants and Ambassadors to assist visitors and residents and direct them to the proper parking facilities and/or general area within a given locale. (9) Implementing operational controls for handling monies, including for special events We have addressed this question at great length in various sections of this proposal, so we will not reiterate all of that information here, but draw your attention to the most relevant and critical protocol associated with operational controls for handling monies. 103 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Security of Money All monies collected must be kept in a safe and secure environment during normal operating hours, as well as after hours. This includes drop safes and other secure and approved revenue storage methods in the field (to be further discussed with the City to better understand its preferences for site-specific protocol, if applicable). Separate security precautions have been developed for “operating hours” and “after hours” storage of funds, as may be applicable. The same protocol applies for special events. Operating Hours Monies are to be kept in a lock box at all times throughout the day and are to be out-of-sight of customers at all times throughout the day When the party responsible for monies is temporarily away from their desk, monies are to be stored in a secure lock box and either placed in the employee’s locked desk Manager. Monies collected throughout the day are to be logged at the time of receipt on the proper transaction log Upon day’s conclusion, the employee is to balance their monies collected to the proper transaction logs, as follows: Monies are to be deposited in the proper account by management (or designated employee) Employee’s actions throughout the day must be evaluated to determine if negligent Supervisor or management must audit responsible employee’s bank and transaction logs If monies remain unbalanced, management is to contact Senior Management If unbalanced funds are not reported to the direct supervisor and/or management, the responsible employee may receive disciplinary action and/or termination After Hours Only if applicable, all monies collected, verified and not deposited are to be given to management for overnight storage If monies are coins from the cash registers or pay stations, each denomination is to be bagged/tied separately and stored in the safe overnight Inventory of coins are logged onto the “Coin Count Log” If pay stations are collected, cash should be deposited the day of collection If unable to be deposited, Senior Management must be contacted prior to the end of business day Cash is logged onto the “Safe Log” form for record keeping purposes If monies are from the sales of permits or miscellaneous revenue (events, movie shoots etc.), the monies should be placed in a “bank bag” or lock box and placed into the safe for immediate deposit or overnight storage, then logged. After all monies are placed in the safe for overnight storage, management or designee is to secure the safe room by activating the safe room alarm At the beginning of the next business day, management is to pull all funds to be deposited from the safe and verified by the employee responsible prior to the deposit being made 104 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (10) Marketing and public relations We talked at length regarding our approach to Marketing and Public relations earlier in the proposal. We now direct your attention to the importance of branding and way-finding as a means to enhance the City’s parking operations, as no parking program is complete without a world class brand. Signage and Graphics The City of Delray Beach parking program (Park Delray Beach - TBD) will serve first-time customers daily, many of whom may be unfamiliar with the City’s layout and parking destinations. These customers require signage that provides information in proper sequence that is clear, concise and simple--making the parking system “user-friendly” is critical to a successful parking program. The overall objective of the City’s sign program should be to provide informative messages to drivers and pedestrians, compatible with customary uniform universal signs, including color-coding and symbols. Accordingly, Lanier engaged our in-house graphic artist, Morgan Phillips, and familiarized our entire team with the history of Delray Beach. It is also important for the signage to be visually appealing to the Downtown environment and easily identifiable for both residents and visitors. Additionally, creating a consistent signage package throughout the City is a simple, yet effective way to improve the overall brand of the City’s parking program. Every sign should be visible and have a consistent look which conveys clear and concise messages–displaying visible information concerning the City’s parking regulations and locations.

Employee care is the foundation of customer care. Our customer service training programs and policies foster two-way communication with our employees and recognize those employees who do an outstanding job. Employee Communication and Feedback Sharing information with employees and providing channels for questions, suggestions, complaints, and other feedback is vital to maintaining good employee relations. The same could be said for our customers. Customer Surveys In order to improve the City’s parking operations on a continual basis, it is vitally important to obtain feedback from businesses, residents and visitors. Lanier will conduct frequent customer surveys to measure customer satisfaction. The service that Lanier delivers to each business, resident and visitor is crucial to our success and to that of the City of Delray Beach. Our goal is to provide a great experience; hence, Lanier will periodically distribute surveys to solicit feedback on the parking program and our level of services. Issue Resolution Lanier monitors, tracks and responds to all customer inquiries, and negative feedback results in constructive criticism and target points for improvement. Throughout the term of our contract, Lanier will report monthly to the City on these results to measure our success while using these findings to continually improve the service capacities of the program, as well as the overall customer experience. (12)Working with local business owners Working With and Engaging Local Business Owners No Public Sector parking program would be complete without initial and ongoing outreach to City business groups and individual local business owners. Everything about a public parking program, from the way it is perceived in the community, to how it is managed, to its aesthetic attributes, forms indelible impressions and opinions regarding the City’s parking program. Our approach is tailored to identify practical management solutions and stimulate positive working relationships with local business owners, in and around the City. We will emphasize user-friendly parking themes, where common sense, customer service and community engagement rule the day. Authentic stakeholder engagement enables us to get to know the people, business leaders and neighborhood groups in and around a Downtown Area. Through this outreach, we gain a unique and distinct understanding of the neighborhoods and streets encompassing your City. This improves our operational planning, as we are better able to evaluate parking and access considerations impacting supply and demand; common factors that drive public parking RFP processes. 110 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services We rely on feedback from these groups to communicate helpful and actionable intelligence to our public sector clients, enabling them (with our support and experience) to develop sound, cogent parking policy. (13) Maintaining records of all parking and citation transactions Lanier, as standard operating procedure, maintains all parking records (revenues and receipts) for a minimum of three (3) years unless instructed differently by the City. Each equipment manufacturer has its own back-end system that may enable the history of transactions to go back for a longer period of time. This is subject City’s discretion, but is also a function of storage costs not budgeted for currently. x. Detail Proposer’s plan for the following: (1) Reviewing, analyzing and reporting to the City regarding parking data Reporting & Data Gathering The accounting and record-keeping system used by Lanier was developed in conjunction with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Shift and/or daily report forms, customized for the project, will be used to record receipts in a clear, easily audited format. Lanier uses these reports and other methods to analyze critical data, and ensure close accountability for all parking revenues. The reports also provide a measure of the overall performance of the facilities. The essential elements of the reporting systems include: A Daily Shift Report records the activity during a given shift The Consolidated Daily Parking Report recaps a single day of activity. Its format is the same as the Daily Parking Report A Monthly Recap for facilities of comparable size summarizes the activity in each facility for the full month in a “one-line-per-day” format. This recap can be used by the client to either post the revenue or, as is typical, to serve as a monthly “check and balance” against the daily postings. These reports are in addition to the reports created via the back-end systems from the paystations and SSM’s from firms such as Passport, T2, POM et. al. Web Based Reporting Capabilities We currently offer web-based monthly reporting through the Client Portal located on our website, accessible with user name and password through our “Client Login” link on our website. From here, the City’s team can access report folders segregated by month. We will customize the City’s content based on its individual reporting needs, which could include these standard reports: Executive Summary Letter Monthly P&L Statement (monthly actual, monthly budget, monthly variance, YTD actual, YTD budget, and YTD variance) A year to date statement by base code for each month 111 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Monthly Itemized Category Report (monthly ledger) Monthly Parking Billing Reports Monthly Parking Collections and Adjustments Reports Aged Receivables Monthly Summary Reports for the Contract Parking and for the Validations programs Monthly and YTD variance reports Scanned copies of all invoice backup associated with the facilities during the reporting period Lanier is also able to supply various other reports that are created or adjusted for an individual client’s specific needs. We are continually developing our web application and plan to add more functionality over time. (2) Managing parking rates throughout the day and adjusting based upon demand Please see the enclosed information above from UIG detailing the data analytics that will be part of the integrated tools to manage parking rates through the payments that are made through multi-space paystations and consistent enforcement. (3) Developing annual expense budgets Budgeting Annual budgets will be prepared for the City of Delray Beach based upon the operational plan, historical information, expected operating results, and Lanier’s knowledge of the City’s parking program. Budgets will include an annual operating budget, detailed by month, as well as monthly and annual comparisons of the budget. All budget variances will receive immediate attention of Senior Management for corrective action. We will work with the City to ensure we set its desired budget objectives for each fiscal year. (4) Assisting the City with any replacements or new installations of parking meters Installation of Paystations Lanier is fully prepared to assist the City in sign and/or paystation installation. We have over 100 locations that utilize multi-space technology. Each one of our locations can install, maintain and collect paystations. Lanier’s local maintenance personnel will receive product specific training on installation, collections, and general maintenance of all City-owned or Lanier-purchased parking equipment. Lanier has afforded this operation to have the tools it needs to support all maintenance aspects of this program. Lanier understands the City of Delray Beach has not selected a vendor from which to purchase and install the paystations. However, it is important to note Lanier is experienced and is willing to offer our ongoing expertise. 112 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (5) Parking garage maintenance and cleaning We addressed parking garage maintenance in great detail earlier in this response. Thus, we will focus our response on the personnel aspects of facilitating our stringent maintenance protocol. Maintenance Personnel These skilled individuals will provide the necessary janitorial services needed, and will also be trained to maintain and execute minor repairs to equipment. The primary duties and responsibilities of our maintenance personnel include, but are not limited to: General Maintenance: Hired personnel will be skilled in all aspects of maintaining the facilities, trash bins, elevator lobbies and access routes into the facilities and lots. Equipment Repairs: This position will be fully trained to make preventative and minor repairs to equipment. Providing daily upkeep of the entire parking equipment inventory both in use and back up units. Meter Calibration/Auditing: Upon installation, multi-space meters will be audited at random to ensure calibration with current parking rates. All equipment will be tested immediately before/after repairs or complaints to ensure calibration. Maintenance Backlog: Personnel will devote a portion of their time catching up the maintenance backlog as noted in the daily reports. Collection: Personnel will assist assigned management staff in the collection of monies at Pay Stations on a daily/weekly scheduled collection detail. Painting: Maintenance personnel will be responsible for minor touch up painting and upkeep of general access areas. Larger painting projects will be discussed with the City to determine the need to sub-contract those projects, on an as needed basis. Sign Replacement & Maintenance: Signs not requiring elevating equipment will be cleaned maintained, and replaced as a daily task. Lighting Replacement: This position will report and replace any missing or burnt out light bulbs on a daily basis. Spot Washing: Identify areas within the parking facilities and lots and perform routine spot pressure washing service. Routine Checklists: Complete and sign off on all tasks outlined on a customized daily checklist. Knowledge of Area: Have a thorough knowledge of all areas of the City and the facilities we operate within it. Appearance: Maintain a neat and clean appearance and be in complete uniform at all times. 113 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Site-Specific Recommendations We have reviewed the facilities and draw your attention to the following site-specific recommendations using before and after photos to demonstrate the enhanced image and functional benefits the facilities would receive in making these repairs and improvements. Lanier recognizes these improvements may be subject to budgetary constraints, and looks forward to discussing said recommendations with the City to determine its priorities in facilitating such improvements.

The Training, Development & Education model used by Lanier is a progressive model designed to help motivated individuals set a path for their growth and development. Employees are trained through combined efforts from the local-level and national-level. Recruitment and Selection Our staff is the backbone of our company. We realize that an operation is only as successful as the people who operate it. Therefore, we’ve developed a department dedicated to the Training, Organization and Development of all Lanier employees, present and future. Career Path/Promoting from Within Lanier is always looking for motivated professionals who can manage people and have a demonstrated background of outstanding customer service. We believe that a person with strong management and communication skills who is properly trained and motivated can handle whatever challenges we give them. We also believe in promoting from within and giving people the opportunity to grow with our organization. Several managers have risen to senior management positions from entry or mid-level jobs after demonstrating their capabilities and dedication to the company. Staff (Hiring, Training, and Development) Customized orientations and training programs will be conducted with all team members to ensure not only operational functionality, but that quality and efficient service is delivered to your customers. Following all training, shift meetings will be conducted prior to the start of the day in order to communicate any operational changes and pass-ons from the previous day. All employees must attend a two hour Orientation class before beginning work. Orientation is administered either in a “classroom” setting to groups of employees, or via computer-aided learning to employees in more remote locations. The class focuses on the company Mission Statement, Core Values and Service Standards, the basics of customer service, company policies, and operating procedures. We have a wide range of corporate-level initiatives designed to enhance the performance, development, and effectiveness of our human resources. Those initiatives include New Employee Orientation programs, Leadership Development programs, Lanier University, work unit redesign, individual Performance Enhancement Plans, process improvement, and change management programs. After the class, our employees will then be oriented on location. On-the-job training from peers and managers is the most effective means to ensure that proper customer service standards (“Greet, Serve, & Send”) and operating practices are followed. Lanier will provide a highly qualified, team oriented staff that is trained in all aspects of parking and traffic control. 119 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Lanier will work with the City to coordinate an on-site training session for all staff members to review the operating plan and offer final training details that include: vehicle permitting, ingress and egress patterns, emergency policies and procedures, and inclement weather plan. Lanier welcomes the City of Delray Beach to attend the training session to ensure all details of the operation have been addressed. We address our Enforcement Ambassador Training earlier in this proposal. (7) Bonding personnel Lanier maintains a comprehensive insurance program at all times. Under the terms and provisions of a proposed agreement, Lanier will provide its bonded personnel with Crime Fidelity Insurance at $1 Million per occurrence. Lanier Parking Solutions Fidelity & Crime Insurance coverage provides protection for exposures, such as loss from forgery or alteration, loss of money, and securities and reimbursement for claim expenses. Additionally, funds transfer fraud, computer fraud, and social engineering fraud are threats that we take seriously and as such, we have an insurance program in place to protect our clients and our organization. (8) Personnel Uniforms Uniform Standards Lanier understands that appearance is an important part of the impression our customers have of us and our clients. Therefore, our uniform program and grooming guidelines for our employees help present a neat, clean and professional image to the public. The City will have the option to choose through a menu of specialty Uniforms. A sample of our Lanier uniforms is on the following page. 120 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services 121 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services (9) Personnel and equipment safety measures Lanier’s loss prevention department is administered by our Director of Risk Management, Winston Cooper. Along with our staff of claims administrators and auditors, the Risk Management Director will be responsible for ensuring all claims are properly handled and that the City’s account is operating within Lanier’s standard operating guidelines. Risk Management Protocol Lanier employs several different avenues to reduce risk exposure inherent in the day to day operation, including with equipment safety measures. Several routine checks and balances will be outlined and addressed in the future operations manual for the City and our on-site team to review. We abbreviate that information as follows: Lanier proactively inspects the property, utilizing a maintenance checklist and an operations evaluation. Routine maintenance is critical in reducing exposures from issues such as a gate striking an automobile. Any exposure noted, such as crumbling concrete or standing water, is noted and directly addressed by Lanier management thereby limiting the exposure. All insurance claims submitted are reviewed and analyzed to ensure that existing conditions are acceptable and do not present any possibility for potential on-going issues. Any issue that is found, which attributed to a claim of loss, will be addressed and rectified per property management and Lanier guidelines. Random walk-through inspections are conducted by different levels of Lanier management with an added emphasis on safety. Weekly and random booth audits are performed during which the revenue in the cashier’s drawer is compared against the fee computer tape and counters, or facility management software, to hold them accountable. Monthly, a ticket summary and card reconciliation report is submitted to the Loss Prevention department for comparison against the AR system and for investigation of any ‘missing’ tickets. Ticket inventory logs are maintained and randomly audited by management. Validations are closely controlled and audited by the Loss Prevention team. 122 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services xi. Proposer shall specify the location(s), including the address, where the work for this project will be performed, including work performed by subcontractors, if applicable. Lanier intends to have an office on site at the facilities, as provided by the City and referenced in the RFP (we do not have an address for that facility, but are assuming it is located at or around City Hall. Work will also be facilitated by our corporate support office in Florida, located as follows: Lanier Parking Solutions 12000 Biscayne Boulevard Suite 707 Miami, Florida 33181 (305) 891-1762 Subcontractors will visit our on-site office from time to time, but mostly they will be in the field checking the City’s operations on our behalf. xii. Proposer shall thoroughly explain: a. Its accessibility in the areas of availability for meetings, general communications, coordination, and supervision Lanier Parking has put in place a system of checks and balances to ensure that our key team members from our corporate office, as well as our local staff, are available for meetings, general communications, coordination and supervision of the City’s parking facilities (on and off-street operations). Proper and routine communication with the City of Delray Beach will be paramount to our operating plan and daily activities. Our best relationships are maintained with those public and private sector clients that make themselves available and include our staff members in their own meetings pertaining to parking and transportation issues affecting their cities and properties. We look forward to having an open and transparent dialogue and relationship with the City of Delray Beach, and will do everything in our power to ensure our team’s availability for all meetings associated with the City’s parking program. b. How the proposer physically plans on attending pre-scheduled meetings We have a local team in place in the State of Florida that will attend all prescheduled meetings with the City of Delray Beach. Leaders include Fred Bredemeyer and Jeff Crimmins, among others. We also have a supervisory management team throughout the State of Florida, with operations that surround the city, and those individuals will also attend the City’s prescheduled meetings on a routine and as-needed basis. Assuming we have enough notice, there is no reason why our team members would not be able to attend the City’s prescheduled meetings pertaining to parking and transportation issues affecting the City of Delray Beach, or even surrounding cities. 123 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services c.How the proposer plans on ensuring accessibility and availability during the term of the Agreement Throughout the duration of the agreement, we view it as our job to be accessible and available to the City of Delray Beach at all times. Our supervisory infrastructure enables our team to cover several areas at once, and multitask in order to ensure that our clients are fully satisfied we do everything with a great sense of urgency and transparency. We look forward to sitting down with the City of Delray Beach and discussing its thoughts and concepts for its desired protocol in this regard. With the multiple renewals we have had with our public sector clients, it is abundantly clear Lanier Parking puts communication and coordination with our cities and their stakeholders at the very top of our operational planning endeavors. 124 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Fee Proposal The Proposer must submit a Fee Proposal for Option A. Proposer may submit an alternative Fee Proposal for Option B. Fees submitted in Option A will be utilize to determine initial scores for the Fee Proposal evaluation criterion. Option A - Management Services Fee Plus Expenses. Under this Option, propose a flat fee for management services and provide documentation of Proposer’s direct operating expenses to be reimbursed by the City. NOTE: This option will require all expenses to be pre-approved by the City and will require detailed expenditure data and supporting documentation to be provided to the City on a monthly basis with each invoice for services. 1. Total Annual Fee $30,000 2. Total Annual Expenses Reimbursement $544,614 TOTAL FEE PROPOSAL $574,614 Itemized Listing Proposer shall include with its Fee Proposal an itemized listing to include, but not be limited to the following costs: a.The fully loaded hourly rate for enforcement personnel and the number of hours proposed for enforcement per month. The hourly rate times the hours per month times 12 months will be the annual enforcement cost. The fully loaded hourly rate for enforcement personnel is $21.54 per hour. The number of hours proposed for enforcement per month is 822 hours on average (based on a weighted average). Hours vary from month to month based on the number weekdays and weekend days in each calendar month. However for the fiscal year of December 2016 through November 2017, the average number of hours proposed for enforcement is 822 hours. b.The fully loaded hourly rate for collection personnel and number of hours proposed for collection services per month for all meters and pay stations. The fully loaded hourly rate for collection and maintenance personnel is $29.77. The number of hours proposed for collection per month is 485 hours on average (based on a weighted average). Hours vary from month to month based on the number weekdays and weekend days in each calendar month. However for the fiscal year of December 2016 through November 2017, the average number of hours proposed for enforcement is 485 hours. 125 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services c.The fully loaded hourly rate for supervisory personnel and the number of hours proposed per month for supervisory personnel. The fully loaded hourly rate for supervisory personnel is $80.23. The number of hours proposed for supervisory personnel per month is 196 hours on average (based on a weighted average). Hours vary from month to month based on the number weekdays and weekend days in each calendar month. However for the fiscal year of December 2016 through November 2017, the average number of hours proposed for enforcement is 196 hours. We have calculated and included the fully loaded hourly rates for Collections and Maintenance personnel, Enforcement personnel and Supervisory personnel, respectively. Note, while the actual wages rates vary for each position, there is only a finite number of annual hours for each job classification. This creates a fully loaded hourly rate for Collections and Maintenance personnel (for example) that is in fact higher than that of the Enforcement personnel, whereas the Enforcement personnel are actually being paid more per hour (a higher wage rate) than Collections and Maintenance personnel. The seemingly inverted fully loaded hourly rate is simply a function of the total number of hours for each job classification as a percentage of the total annual hours worked, 18,039. Specifically, we have total hours for Collections and Maintenance personnel at 5,817 annual hours, 9,868 annual hours for Enforcement personnel, and 2,355 annual hours for Supervisory personnel, which equals 18,039 total annual hours. This includes the cost of each category based on a weighted average. These fully loaded hourly rates are based on the minimum number of annual hours our personnel must work, and we must bill back annually in order to honor these rates. Should the City decide to reduce the total number of hours for any classification of personnel, it would then require Lanier to increase the hourly bill back rates for that class and/or other classes of personnel in order to recapture 100% of our fixed annual costs. In summary, for Option A, our total annual costs are $574,614 before equipment amortization, which equals $68,461.74 annually over the initial three (3) year term based on a total upfront capital investment of $272,600. 126 Response to RFP No. 2016-107 Comprehensive Parking Management Services d.Provide a three year itemized capital expenditure plan for equipment Proposer proposes for reimbursement including cost for a citation management system and license plate recognition system. e.A full year budget that includes all expenses necessary to operate the parking system whether those expenses are to be paid by Proposer, proposed to be paid directly by the City, such as communications expenses for the pay stations or parking sensors, or expenses proposed to be reimbursed by the City (such as EMS fees from Digital Payment Technologies. If Option A Management Services Plus Expenses is selected, identify all expenses to be reimbursed by the City as such. Please see the following page for our full year budget including all reimbursable expenses for Option A. Note: All expenses itemized in the budget are hereby identified as expenses to be reimbursed by the City. 127 C l i e n t E x c e l B u d g e t De c - 1 6 J a n - 1 7 F e b - 1 7 M a r - 1 7 A p r - 1 7 M a y -

Evaluation of Proposals The City Manager will designate a Selection Committee to review and evaluate the Proposals submitted in response to this RFP. The review process will be conducted at a minimum of two phases. In Phase One, the Chief Purchasing Officer (CPO) or designee shall determine whether each Proposer is responsive and responsible. For the purposes of this RFP, a responsive Proposer means a Proposer that has submitted a proposal that conforms in all material respects to the requirements in the RFP. Accordingly, in Phase One, the CPO or designee will determine whether each Proposer correctly submitted all of the necessary forms and documents. For the purposes of this RFP, a responsible Proposer means a Proposer meets the minimum qualification requirement(s) in this RFP, Section 2. City of Delray Beach RFP No. 2016-107 Page 9 Comprehensive Parking Management Services Among other things, a Proposal may be found to be non-responsive if the Proposer failed to provide the information requested in the RFP; failed to utilize or complete the required forms; provided incomplete, indefinite, or ambiguous responses; failed to comply with the applicable deadlines; provided improper or undated signatures; or provided information that is false, misleading, or exaggerated. In Phase Two, the Selection Committee will evaluate each proposal utilizing the following weighted criteria: Evaluation Criteria Criterion Max Score Experience 20 Capacity & Approach 35 Fee Proposal 30 Interviews 10 Location 5 Total 100 Each Selection Committee member will evaluate, rank and score the proposals for each of the evaluation criteria. The Selection Committee may create a short list of Proposers from the proposals received and elect to conduct interviews/presentations with the short- listed firms. If the Selection Committee elects to short-list only those proposals from Proposer that are short-listed will be considered for award of the Agreement. The Selection Committee may rank Proposals without conducting interviews with Proposers. For this reason, each Proposer must ensure that its proposal contains all of the information requested in this RFP. If interviews are concducted, the evaluation will be on the knowledge demonstrated by the Proposer and its team members, as well as the team's ideas and vision for services for the City. Consideration will be given for unqualified answers, comprehensive explanations of relevant experience, and understanding of the required services. Consideration will also be given for presentation style. Clarification information as well as information obtained during the interview process will be considered in the final evaluations and ranking of Proposals. At any time during the Selection process, the City may conduct investigations it deems necessary to evaluate the proposals. Each Proposer shall promptly provide the City with any additional information reasonably requested by the City. The City shall have the right to make additional inquiries, interview some or all of the Proposers, visit the facilities of one or more of the Proposers, or take any other action the City deems necessary to fairly evaluate a proposal. At any time during the Selection process, the City may reject a proposal if the City concludes the Proposer is not qualified (e.g. Proposer does not satisfy the minimum requirements criteria set forth in this RFP). The Selection Committee and/or the City Commission may select the Successful Proposer without allowing any presentations or interviews by any Proposer. For this City of Delray Beach RFP No. 2016-107 Page 10 Comprehensive Parking Management Services reason, each Proposer must ensure that its proposal contains all of the information requested in this RFP. 3. Award The City reserves the right to accept a Proposal(s) and award an Agreement that in its judgment will be for the best interest of the City. The City reserves the right to negotiate agreement terms with the Successful Proposer. 4. The City’s Acceptance or Rejection of Proposals The City reserves its exclusive right to: • Disregard all non-conforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional proposals • Reject any and all proposals that fail to satisfy the requirements and specifications in this RFP • Accept the proposal which is the best overall proposal, based on the selection criteria listed • Reject any and all non-responsive proposals • Waive minor irregularities in any proposal • Issue addenda or otherwise revise the requirements in this RFP • Reject all proposals, with or without cause • Issue requests for new proposals • Cancel this RFP The City may reject a proposal for any reason that the City deems sufficient. For example, the City may reject one or more proposals if (1) the Proposer misstates or conceals any material fact in their proposal; (2) the proposal does not conform to the requirements of applicable Law; (3) the proposal is subject to conditions or qualifications; (4) a change occurs that makes this RFP unnecessary for the City; (5) any Proposer submits more than one proposal under the same or different names; (6) a Proposer has failed to perform satisfactorily or meet its financial obligations on previous contracts; (7) the Proposer employs unauthorized aliens in violation of Section 274(A)(e) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act; and/or (8) or the Proposer is listed on the U.S. Comptroller General’s List of Ineligible Companies for Federally Financed or Assisted Projects. Any or all proposals may be rejected if the City concludes that collusion existed among two or more of the Proposers. Proposals received from the participants in such collusion will not be considered for the same work in this RFP if re-advertised. The City may reject proposals if two (2) or more Proposers are planning a merger, or are in the process of merging with or acquiring other Proposers, and the City concludes that the Proposers are not submitting bona fide or uncompromised proposals. In such cases, the City may reject all proposals in which such Proposers are involved. The City reserves the right to disqualify Proposer during any phase of the competitive solicitation process and terminate for cause any resulting contract upon evidence of collusion with intent to defraud or other illegal practices on the part of the Proposer. City of Delray Beach RFP No. 2016-107 Page 11 Comprehensive Parking Management Services 5. Protest Procedures As noted above, proposals will be evaluated in two phases. If the Proposer is deemed non- responsive or non-responsible during Phase One, the CPO shall provide notice to the affected Proposer. The CPO shall also post notice on BidSync (www.bidsync.com) and the bulletin board located in the lobby of City Hall after the Selection Committee provides a recommendation for award at the conclusion of Phase Two. Any Proposer who is aggrieved by these decisions or a decision of the City Commission may file a protest pursuant to Section 36.04 (entitled "Protest Procedures") of the Delray Beach Code of Ordinances. However, nothing contained in this RFP shall be deemed to limit the authority of the City Commission under special or general law.

If the protest is decided in the protester's favor the entire protest bond is returned. If the protest is not decided in the protester's favor the protest shall be forfeited to the City.

Acceptance of Proposals / Minor Irregularities The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, part of proposals, and to waive minor irregularities or variances to specifications contained in proposals which do not make the proposal conditional in nature, and minor irregularities in the solicitation process.

The City also reserves the right to reissue a RFP.

The City reserves the right to delete any portion of the work at any time without cause, and if such right is exercised by the City, the total fee shall be reduced in the same ratio as the estimated cost of the work deleted bears to the estimated cost of the work originally planned. If work has already been accomplished and approved by the City on any portion of an Agreement resulting from this RFP, the Successful Proposer shall be paid for the work completed on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of such portion to the total project cost. The City may require additional items or services of a s imilar nature, but not specif ically listed in the Agreement.

Valet parking is provided by a third party contractor in several locations and currently there are a number of unmetered parking spaces in the downtown area. Downtown parking includes a variety of parking options including off-street parking facilities, on-street parking, and parking garages totaling approximately 2,300 parking spaces (See Exhibit A, Delray Beach Parking Management Plan). The City will be awarding a contract in the near future for the purchase, installation and on-going service of new multi-space smart technology parking meters. It is expected that installation of the smart multi-space parking meters with the capability to use smart phone technology will be completed in a phased process commencing east of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and extending throughout the City. The City Chief Parking Officer will oversee and direct the City’s parking activities. Additionally, the City has a Parking Advisory Board that advises the City with respect to parking management policy and related issues.

Atlantic Avenue, which hosts Downtown Delray, is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, filled with art galleries, upscale shops and fine restaurants. The Delray Beach is also known for its many family-friendly festivals and special events. The demand for parking comes from visitors, patrons of the restaurants and businesses, and local residents who come downtown to enjoy the beach, night - life and events. The heaviest demand is during the winter season from November through April and throughout the year on weekends near the beach. Valet parking is provided by a third party contractor in several locations and currently there are a number of unmetered parking spaces in the downtown area. Downtown parking includes a variety of parking options including off -street parking facilities, on-street parking, and parking garages totaling approximately 2,300 parking spaces (See Exhibit A Appendix B, Delray Beach Parking Management Plan). The City will be awarding a contract in the near future for the purchase, installation and on-going service of new multi-space smart technology parking meters.

The City comprises approximately 16 square miles with a permanent population of approximately 65,000. The City of Delray Beach is bordered by the City of Boynton Beach to the north and the City of Boca Raton to the south. The City’s proximity to Interstate 95, US 1, and the ocean makes it a very attractive location for residents, businesses and visitors alike. Over the last 15 years, the City has aggressively pursued strategic redevelopment and renewal initiatives within the Community Redevelopment Area. The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was established in 1985 to guide the City’s redevelopment efforts. The mission of the CRA is to provide the necessary framework to revitalize the physical and business environment of the Community Redevelopment Area (Figure 1-1). The CRA's activities are designed to address the underlying problems of slum and blight conditions through planning, redevelopment, historic preservation, economic development and affordable housing provisions. The first CRA Redevelopment Plan was adopted in 1986. The most current version of the CRA Redevelopment Plan was adopted in November 2008. The CRA was also established as a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. The main goal of the CRA and the TIF District is to establish a framework to reverse the process of blight and to promote redevelopment and revitalization. The Redevelopment Plan divides the Community Redevelopment Area into eight special character districts, each distinguished by their own unique location and design criteria: Beach Area Central Core West Atlantic Neighborhood Northwest Neighborhood North Federal Highway Northeast (Seacrest/Del Ida) Neighborhoods Osceola Park Southwest Neighborhood Figure 1-1 – Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area APPENDIX B 3 |Page In 2002, the CRA also adopted a Downtown Master Plan through a collaborative public participation process to guide redevelopment and future growth within the downtown area. The Downtown Master Plan provides the vision and unique development strategy for the West Atlantic, the Core and the Beach Districts. Since its establishment the CRA has adopted several redevelopment plans for the character districts within the Community Redevelopment Area including: Southwest Area Neighborhood Plan North Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan Seacrest/Del Ida Neighborhood Improvement Plan Osceola Park Redevelopment & Neighborhood Improvement Plan As a result of the City’s targeted redevelopment efforts and the cooperation of the business community, Downtown Delray Beach is now one of the major destinations for residents and visitors of southern Palm Beach County as well as a magnet for business owners eager to benefit from the downtown’s vibrant retail district. The surrounding residential neighborhoods have also benefitted from an improved quality of life that has been the result of consistent and meaningful redevelopment. The continuous growth and redevelopment over the past decade has created an increased demand for parking facilities and triggered the need to update the City’s parking operations in the Community Redevelopment Area. The City’s ability to provide sufficient parking and effectively manage this asset will be a key factor in maintaining community vibrancy, fostering economic development, and meeting the goals and objectives stated within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Master Plan, Transportation Concurrency Exception Area, and Community Redevelopment Plan. The City and the CRA have built several public parking facilities for the residents, business owners, employees, and shoppers within the downtown area. In addition to the on-street parking facilities throughout downtown, the City has also built several off-street parking lots and garages to serve the additional parking needs of downtown patrons. In 2004, a 355-space parking garage was constructed with County, City, and CRA funds to serve the courthouse and library. The Library/Courthouse garage is used by the City for public parking during special events. In 2008, two City parking garages were completed. The Robert Federspiel Parking Garage and Old School Square Garage provide more than 700 spaces to the downtown area. Study Goals The City and the CRA realize that the adequacy and availability of parking are critical components of redevelopment. Finding parking is typically the first activity people engage upon reaching a destination. The lack of adequate parking to support patrons can result in loss of economic activity. Conversely, an oversupply of parking consumes valuable land that would otherwise contribute to economic activity. Hence, providing the optimal amount of parking which efficiently utilizes the available resources is one of the keys to a vital urban community. The parking facilities and the operations should also be easy to find, convenient and safe. The City and the CRA have embarked on this parking study to evaluate the existing parking supply and operations within the downtown study area as well as identify strategies to efficiently manage and to offset the City/CRA’s expenditures for parking. The Delray Beach Parking Management Plan is intended to achieve the following objectives: Inventory public parking facilities within the study area Conduct parking observations to determine how well the parking facilities are utilized and whether the facilities are used for short- term or long-term parking Observe shuttle ridership and evaluate operations of the City’s shuttle to determine how well the service is being utilized Review the City’s Land Development Code to evaluate the allowable mix of land uses within the study area and prepare a preliminary assessment of the ease or difficulty of developing mixed use and office projects. Evaluate the pedestrian environment within the study area and develop recommendations to enhance walkability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions Evaluate the effectiveness of the City’s current payment-in-lieu and public parking fee programs and provide recommendations to increase effectiveness Identify innovative strategies and best practices for management including parking technology for implementation within the City Evaluate the financial performance of the parking facilities in the study area and develop a financial strategy to enhance its performance Identify applicable Transportation Demand Management strategies for implementation within the study area Summarize the findings and results in a Parking Management Plan (the “Plan”) The Plan will identify specific recommendations for improving efficiency of the parking system within the study area so that the available parking supply is used to its maximum before new parking facilities are constructed. The study will also identify financial recommendations that will enable the parking program to be a self sustaining unit where the revenues and expenses related to parking are balanced. Study Area The study area is loosely defined as the area bound by NE 4th Street/Lake Ida Road to the north, SE 4th Street to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Interstate 95 to the west. However, the main focus of the study area is the central core area including a few blocks on both sides of Atlantic Avenue and the parking facilities within the study area. The study area consists of the West Atlantic Neighborhood, the Central Core and the Beach Area and is illustrated in Figure 1-2. APPENDIX B 4 |Page Figure 1-2 – Study Area Boundary APPENDIX B 5 |Page Anchor Lot (P2) Ingraham Lot (P3) CHAPTER 2 – EXISTING PARKING SUPPLY Parking Inventory The public parking facilities in the study area was undertaken to understand the availability of parking within the study area. There are a total of 21 off-street parking facilities within the study area consisting of surface parking lots and public garages. In addition, on-street parking is located along several streets within the study area. The parking inventory within the study area is illustrated in Figure 2-1 (on page 9). Off-Street Parking Facilities The study area contains three districts as identified by the Delray Beach CRA Redevelopment Plan – the Beach Area, the Central Core and the West Atlantic Neighborhood. The off-street parking spaces located within each of the three zones are provided in Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3, respectively. The Beach Area The Beach District consists of condominiums, resort hotels, and businesses that are generally focused towards tourist activity and the beach. The commercial area along Atlantic Avenue is characterized by restaurants, specialty stores, and hotels that are catered towards visitors and tourists. Along A1A, uses include the Marriott Hotel, restaurants, condominiums, shops and small motels. The remainder of the area consists of offices, apartments, and parks.

The City charges a parking fee of $1.25 per hour at these facilities. The lots are equipped with multi-space pay meters. Most of the beach parking lots along A1A, with the exception of Marriott/Orange Grove Lot are located within public parks and are limited by park hours. These facilities are gated and are open only during park hours. Hence parking lots P1 through P4 are generally used by park visitors and beach users. The Marriott/Orange Grove Lot (P5) and the Gleason Street Lot (P6) are generally preferred by business patrons due to the proximity to the commercial areas along Atlantic Avenue and since these facilities are open later at night. The Marriott/Orange Grove Lot (P5) is open until 10 p.m. and the Gleason Lot (P6) is open until 10 p.m. All the parking lots in the Beach Area are marked by signs indicating names of the facility, hours of the operation and the parking fee except the Gleason Lot (P6). All the parking facilities have direct access to SR A1A with the exception of Gleason Street Lot (P6). The Gleason Lot is being leased from the First Presbyterian Church for public use. The Beach District has a total of 443 off-street public parking spaces. Marriott/Orange Grove Lot (P5) APPENDIX B 6 |Page Railroad Parking Lot (P11)Robert Federspiel Garage (P15) on NE 1st Avenue The Central Core The Central Core consists of the City’s Central Business District (CBD) and adjacent residential areas. The Central Core is primarily commercial in nature with a few residential and industrial uses. The retail core is centered on Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove Way and consists of restaurants, specialty stores and tourism oriented offices. There is also a significant amount of urban infill housing within the Central Core consisting of apartments, townhomes, and condominiums. The FEC Railway corridor runs north-south through the Central Core and consists of commercial and industrial uses along the corridor. The City and the CRA have focused significant redevelopment efforts within the district including beautification of Atlantic Avenue with landscaping, public art, hard cape elements, paved sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities. These redevelopment efforts have spurred private investment within the district resulting in new businesses, mixed use and residential projects. The Central Core consists of eight surface parking lots and two parking garages as shown in Table 2-2. The parking facilities within the Central Core are heavily used by downtown patrons including visitors, business owners, employees, and residents. The parking facilities are heavily used throughout the day and are primarily located within a few blocks on either side of Atlantic Avenue. The parking facilities within the Central Core are free for public use with the exception of the two garages. The Old School Square Garage (P12) and Robert Federspiel Garage (P15) were built in 2007. In October 2008, the City instituted a flat fee of $5.00 at these two garages on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays after 5:00 p.m. Table 2-2 – Central Core Off-street Public Parking Facilities FACILITY NAME HOURS TIME LIMIT SPACES P7 – Veterans Lot 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.2 hrs 102 P8 – Gladiola Lot 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.8 hrs 74 P9 – Village Lot 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.2 hrs 40 P10 – Old City Lot None None 55 P11 – Railroad Lot 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. 2hrs/ 8 hrs 191 P12 – Old School Sq.

The Central Core area consists of a total of 1,303 off-street public parking spaces. The West Atlantic Neighborhood The West Atlantic Neighborhood is located immediately west of the Central Core. This area is characterized by older commercial uses, single family and multifamily residential, and vacant lots and buildings. The commercial uses are generally oriented to serve the residential neighborhoods within the District. The CRA would like to promote private investment through implementation of parking and other development incentives to attract businesses within this District. The CRA has also initiated several beautification efforts in the District and has provided more affordable housing. The District consists of six surface parking lots and one garage as listed in Table 2-3. The NW 5th Avenue Parking Lot (P21) is part of the Delray Beach Fire Station and is not open to public. The Library/Courthouse Parking Garage (P19) was built in 2004 through a joint partnership between Palm Beach County, the City and the CRA. There are a total of 891 off-street public parking spaces within the District.

A detailed summary of each of the off-street parking facilities within the three districts has been prepared and provided to the City’s parking management specialist. The summary includes the location of the facility, type of facility, lot capacity, reserved spaces, user groups, parking time limit, nature of parking control, quality of the facility including access, lighting, sidewalks, and user friendliness. On-Street Parking Facilities The Beach Area The parking spaces on Atlantic Avenue east of the Intracoastal Waterway are equipped with parking meters. The parking meters accept smart cards in addition to cash. The City recently implemented some IPS meters for a trial period which accept credit cards in addition to cash and smart cards. The City charges a fee of $1.25 per hour between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. This segment is open for valet parking between the hours of 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. Paid parking was recently implemented along this segment of Atlantic Avenue in 2002. Before implementation of the paid parking system on this segment of Atlantic Avenue, beach users were occupying the on-street parking spaces to avoid the paid parking on SR A1A and impacting businesses along this segment. The implementation of paid parking has limited the use of this segment to business patrons while encouraging beach users to park along SR A1A. There are a few five-minute parking spaces located along this segment. These five-minute spots are well received by businesses that have quick turnover as well as patrons who don’t have to pay for an entire hour for a quick pickup. On-street parking along SR A1A is located only on the east side of the roadway from Beach Drive in the north to Casuarina Road in the south. There are a total of 225 spaces along SR A1A and a total of 268 spaces within the entire district. The parking spaces are equipped with single space parking meters. The on-street parking spaces are primarily used by beach users and patrons of businesses along this corridor. The total amount of on-street parking spaces located within the Beach District is illustrated in Table 2-4.

The on-street parking spaces are free for public use with a two-hour limit between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m, except for valet parking spaces. Some parking spaces are designated for valet parking between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. There are several five-minute parking spaces along Atlantic Avenue within the downtown core. The on-street parking spaces along Atlantic Avenue are heavily used by business owners, employees and shoppers. The two-hour parking limit is enforced by the City’s code enforcement division and parking enforcement volunteers through issuance of tickets for parked vehicles exceeding specified time limit (determined by tire chalking). The Central Core consists of the most amount of on-street parking within the study area. A majority of the streets within the downtown core have either designated or undesignated on-street parking. In addition, there are several roadways where on-street parking spaces are currently under construction. Currently, there are a total of 547 designated parking spaces within the Central Core District. Table 2-5 illustrates the on-street parking availability by roadway segment within the Central Core District.

On-street parking along Atlantic Ave within Downtown APPENDIX B 9 |Page Figure 2-1 – Off-Street Parking Locations APPENDIX B 10 |Page Figure 2-2 – On-Street Parking Locations APPENDIX B 11 |Page Valet Service within Study Area In addition to the public parking within the study area provided through City lots and garages, private parking contributes to the City’s parking supply through valet parking services. Valet service within the City is provided by private parking operators. Valet service is provided at multiple locations within the downtown and the Beach Area. Based upon the information provided by the City as well as observations from the field, there are currently eight valet queues within the study area. These locations are illustrated in Figure 2-1 on page 9. The valet queues are generally serviced by either the restaurants which they front, or private valet parking contractors hired by one or more restaurants along the block. The City does not contract the services of a valet operator. Request for valet locations are initiated by individual restaurant owners demonstrating a need to provide a new valet location. Once approved by the City Commission, the valet stands are operated by restaurants or private operators. Even though operated by individual restaurants, according to the City regulations, the valet operators are required to park vehicles for any person that requests a valet service regardless of the establishment which they patronize. Valet parking provides several advantages to the City. It is highly utilized within downtown near the major activity centers during the evening peak hours. During this time, patrons prefer the convenience and relative safety that valet parking offers. The use of private parking lots for valet parking provides more spaces to the City’s parking supply which would otherwise not be available for public parking. Valet providers have agreements with private property owners to use private off-street parking spaces for valet parking during non-business hours. APPENDIX B 12 |Page CHAPTER 3 – EXISTING PARKING UTILIZATION As a part of the evaluation of public parking needs within the study area, data were collected for several existing parking facilities to quantify the current utilization of parking. This helps provide a baseline of parking patterns, providing both a numerical quantification of overall parking demand and also the spatial differences in demand between different parking facilities. The patterns in parking utilization that have been observed help identify how parking demand varies in the downtown area throughout the course of the day and also among various days of the week, which helps identify overall demand and also when the peak periods of demand occur. Additionally, the patterns help identify which facilities are utilized more heavily than others, which in turn can be used to develop and implement policies and incentives to balance utilization more evenly between parking facilities or price parking according to utilization. The data used in this analysis were collected over the course of three months, which included a portion of the traditional winter “peak season.” Additionally, during the month of November, a limited amount of vehicle turnover data were collected in order to help identify the duration of time in which vehicles were parked in the parking spaces. Combined with the utilization data collected, the turnover data can help identify characteristics of patrons utilizing a parking facility, i.e., whether they are parking on a “short-term” or “long-term” basis. Data Collection As described in the previous chapter, there are a total of 21 public parking facilities within the study area that are included in this analysis, plus on-street parallel parking spaces along key roadways. To quantify parking utilization within the study area, actual parking observations and counts were conducted at representative parking facilities. Table 3-1 summarizes the parking facility by name, ID number (corresponding to Figure 2-1 on page 9 of this report) and the existing inventory of spaces within that facility. Table 3-1 – Parking Facility Summary – Data Collection Parking Facility ID Number Current Inventory (Spaces) Gladiola Parking Lot P8 74 Village Parking Lot P9 40 Railroad Parking Lot P11 191 Old School Square Parking Garage P12 505 Bankers Parking Lot P13 29 Cason Cottage Parking Lot P14 10 Robert Federspiel Garage P15 198 Monterey Parking Lot (N,S,E)P16 82 Within these parking facilities, data was collected during weekday and weekend conditions during the months of November, December and January. Table 3-2 summarizes the days and times of data collection at each of these facilities.

Observers performed counts of parked vehicles within each facility during each of the time periods and recorded the parking utilization in field data collection worksheets. These worksheets are included as attachments to the report. APPENDIX B 13 |Page Parking Utilization The results of the field observations were compiled and summarized in tabular format. The tables include a list of the parking facilities observed, the parking supply (available inventory) within each facility, the number of observed occupied spaces during each time period, and the corresponding percent occupancy. The data collection occurred on various days of the week and different time periods because the types of patrons and the peak parking demands for businesses in the study area vary by day of the week and time of day. The demand is summarized for the parking facilities evaluated by each day of the week in order to provide an ultimate comparison on variation in demand on different days of the week. In each of the tables, the percentage of utilization has been color-coded into one of three categories as summarized below. These categories help classify the level of utilization in each of the facilities. Percentage of Utilization Categories Utilization Range Category 0.0% - 49.9%Low 50.0% - 84.9%Moderate 85% +High Weekday Parking Observations Parking utilization counts were conducted on two weekdays, a Tuesday and a Thursday, during each of the data collection periods in November, December and January. Observations on each weekday were conducted during four time intervals: 10:00 AM – Noon 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM. These time intervals allowed data to be collected to represent different demand periods during the day, including lunchtime demand, afternoon shopping demand, and dinner/after-dinner demand. Tables 3-3 and 3-4 summarize the Tuesday and Thursday demand observations, respectively. Overall, none of the facilities exceeded 85% occupancy during the observation intervals. The most heavily utilized facilities were the Railroad Parking Lot (P11), Village Parking Lot (P9) and Monterey Parking Lot (P16). Overall, the average demand during the observation periods remained relatively constant, ranging between 25% to 40%. The results are also depicted graphically in Charts 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. As shown in the charts, a gap in the utilization of the facilities that were observed becomes especially pronounced during the evening hours. During the evening observations, the Railroad Lot (P11), Gladiola Lot (P8), Village Lot (P9) and Monterey Lot (P16) experience a relatively higher level of utilization, while the Old School Square, Robert Federspiel, Bankers and Cason Cottage parking facilities experience significantly lower utilization than the other four facilities.

Observations on each Friday were conducted during two time intervals: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM – Midnight. Similar to the other weekday observations, these time intervals allowed data to be collected to represent different demand periods during the day, including dinner demand, and late night demand. Additionally, during the January observation period, observations were conducted from 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM and Midnight – 2:00 AM in order to collect more data regarding late night activity. Table 3-5 summarizes the Friday demand observations. As shown in the tables, demand at four of the facilities (Gladiola Parking Lot (P8), Village Parking Lot (P9), Railroad Parking Lot (P11) and Monterey Parking Lot (P16)) met or exceeded 100 percent of available supply at some point during some of the Friday observations. Parking exceeds 100 percent of available supply when all of the marked parking spaces are occupied and additional vehicles are parked in areas on the lot that are not designated for parking, such as in front of dumpster enclosures, in parking circulation aisles and in grassy areas. However, even during those peak periods, a significant amount of available supply still exists within other facilities, especially including the Old School Square Parking Garage (P12) and the Robert Federspiel Parking Garage (P15). Overall demand within the study facilities was approximately 70 percent during the peak observation period (8:00 PM – 10:00 PM during the Friday observation in January). APPENDIX B 16 |Page The results are also depicted graphically on Chart 3-3. As was the case with the weekday observations, the level of utilization varied significantly between facilities. The Railroad, Gladiola, Village and Monterey parking facilities experience a relatively higher level of utilization, while the Old School Square, Robert Federspiel, Bankers and Cason Cottage parking facilities experience significantly lower utilization than the other four facilities during most of the evening, although utilization of the two garages increased during the late evening observation period.

Observations on each Saturday were conducted during four time intervals: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM, Noon – 2:00 PM, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM – Midnight. On Sundays, observations were conducted during two time intervals: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM and Noon – 2:00 PM. Similar to the other weekday observations, these time intervals allowed data to be collected to represent different demand periods during the day, including lunchtime demand, dinner demand, and late night demand. Table 3-6 summarizes the Saturday demand observations. As shown in the tables, demand at four of the facilities (Gladiola Parking Lot, Village Parking Lot, Railroad Parking Lot and Monterey Parking Lot) met or exceeded 100 percent of available supply at some point during some of the Saturday observations, as was the case during the Friday observations. Parking exceeds 100 percent of available supply when all of the marked parking spaces are occupied and additional vehicles are parked in areas on the lot that are not designated for parking, such as in front of dumpster enclosures, in parking circulation aisles and in grassy areas. However, even during those peak periods, a significant amount of available supply still exists within other facilities, especially including the Old School Square Parking Garage and the Robert Federspiel Parking Garage. Overall demand within the study facilities was slightly under 70 percent during the peak observation period (Midnight – 2:00 AM during the Friday observation in January). As shown in Table 3-7, overall parking demand on Sundays is the lowest of all days observed. APPENDIX B 17 |Page The results are also depicted graphically on Charts 3-4 and 3-5 for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. As was the case with the weekday and Friday observations, the level of utilization on Saturday varied significantly between facilities. The Railroad, Gladiola, Village and Monterey parking facilities experience a relatively higher level of utilization, while the Old School Square, Robert Federspiel, Bankers and Cason Cottage parking facilities experience significantly lower utilization than the other four facilities during the evening hours. The Sunday observations also included observations of beach parking along SR A1A. During the Sunday periods of observation, the beach parking areas tended to experience the highest utilization.

During those time periods, some facilities experienced localized utilization rates of over 100 percent, meaning that all designated parking spaces in those facilities were occupied plus some patrons had parked in undesignated areas within those facilities. The overall utilization within the study area was much higher during those periods of observation than during the daytime periods on those same days or during any of the observation periods on weekdays and Sundays. The specific data still indicated, however, that even during the peak overall periods of demand, parking is available within the study area in many facilities. The difference in utilization between facilities during the peak periods of demand can be seen in Charts 3-3 and 3-4. The average overall percent utilization by observation periods on all surveyed days is illustrated in Chart 3-6. Chart 3-6 – Average Overall Percent Utilization by Observation Period Parking Turnover In addition to collecting parking utilization data, observations were conducted during the month of November to quantify parking turnover within a limited inventory of spaces in several of the parking facilities. The purpose of collecting this data was to provide information regarding the length of time that the same vehicle occupied a given parking space, with a primary goal of identifying the usage of parking facilities by users parking on a short-term basis (less than two hours) and those parking on a longer-term basis (two hours or more). The data observed were compiled and summarized in tabular format and also summarized in a series of charts (Charts 3-7 through 3-15) illustrating the approximate observed turnover by day of the week within the limited area of data collection at each facility. The charts for the respective parking facilities are provided below. Chart 3-7 Gladiola Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week APPENDIX B 20 |Page Chart 3-8 Village Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-9 Railroad Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-10 Monterey Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-11 Cason Cottage Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week APPENDIX B 21 |Page Chart 3-12 Bankers Row Parking Lot Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-13 Old School Square Parking Garage Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-14 Robert Federspiel Parking Garage Observed Turnover by Day of the Week Chart 3-15 Atlantic Avenue On-Street Parking Observed Turnover by Day of the Week APPENDIX B 22 |Page It is important to note that the overall categorization of parking turnover is based upon some general assumptions given the data collected. Because vehicle turnover within the designated areas of each facility was observed once per hour over certain time periods, the exact duration of a patron’s stay could not be determined. For example, if a vehicle was observed occupying a parking space at 1:00 PM and at 2:00 PM, it was not possible to know whether or not the car was parked in the space for a duration of 1 hour and 2 minutes (e.g., arriving at 12:59 PM and departing at 2:01 PM), or if it was parked in the space for a duration of 2 hours and 58 minutes (e.g., arriving at 12:01 PM and departing at 2:59 PM). On average, it is therefore assumed that vehicles observed to be parked in a parking space during two observation periods were parked for two hours. The data presented therefore represent generalized averages of vehicle parking durations. From the data, it is possible to ascertain general patterns of facilities more heavily used by patrons with long-term parking needs and those more heavily utilized by patrons with short-term parking needs. In general, the facilities most utilized by short-term parkers were the Gladiola and Village Parking Lots and on-street parking along Atlantic Avenue. The remaining facilities were more heavily utilized by those with long-term parking needs. Chart 3-16 illustrates the relative comparison of average parking duration observed in the off-street facilities and Chart 3-17 illustrates the relative comparison of parking duration along various blocks of Atlantic Avenue. The difference in generalized short-term versus long-term parking demand can be seen in these relative comparisons. Chart 3-16 Off-Street Parking Facilities Comparison of Average Observed Turnover Chart 3-17 On-Street Parking Facilities Comparison of Average Observed Turnover In general, it was observed that on-street parking and off-street parking facilities located closest to the downtown core and businesses were used for shorter-term parking. However, it was observed that approximately 25% of parking along Atlantic Avenue did not conform to the maximum parking limit of two-hours. Within downtown retail areas, it is desirable to manage parking in a manner where short-term parking with higher vehicle turnover occurs in the convenient on-street parking facilities and longer-term parking by employees and visitors who wish to spend longer hours within downtown occurs at the off-street facilities. Accordingly, policies, guidelines and/or restrictions need to be put in place to encourage appropriate use of facilities. If employees and business owners take up the convenient on-street spaces and the only available parking for businesses is too far, inconvenient or difficult to locate, patrons may be discouraged from visiting those businesses. Longer-term parking, often used by employees, can be located in off-street facilities that are a few blocks away from the downtown core. APPENDIX B 23 |Page CHAPTER 4 – NEED TO MANAGE PARKING Parking and transportation can be the focus of much public debate and two of the most controversial issues a community must address to promote economically viable development and redevelopment. The City’s ability to ensure sufficient parking is available for visitors and residents will be a key factor in maintaining community vibrancy, fostering economic development, and meeting the goals and objectives stated within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Master Plan, Transportation Concurrency Exception Area, and Community Redevelopment Plans. While evaluating parking, there is a need to consider the entire transportation system as a whole and not just the automobile. Also included are pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities. Success of a citywide parking system does not only depend on provision of parking facilities but also how well the parking facilities are connected to the ultimate destinations as well other modes of transportation. Parking management is not a science of providing a large supply of parking to accommodate vehicles for the peak demand hour but managing available resources in the most efficient manner while accommodating the needs of the community and furthering the goals of the community. Just like a community cannot build its way out of congestion, a community cannot build its way out of parking demand. There must always be a balance between parking supply and demand. Too Much or Too Little Parking The City’s ability to ensure that residents, businesses, and visitors have safe and convenient access to parking is currently a key component to the City’s overall livability and economic viability. Parking is generally one of the first activities that visitors, residents and employees engage in at a destination. Downtowns that have convenient and adequate parking are generally more economically viable than the ones that provide inefficient parking facilities. There is an economic disadvantage to providing too much parking as there is with too little parking. Providing optimal parking which is convenient, safe and efficiently utilizes valuable commercial space can enhance the economic vitality and livability of a downtown. Providing too much parking can negatively impact the economic viability of the downtown as it consumes valuable land that could be otherwise used for economic development. Providing too much parking is also counterproductive to the City’s multi-modal and transit-oriented goals. Further, the oversupply of parking is costly to the City, as an unused parking lot or garage is essentially a misuse of valuable land that could be used for generating tax revenue. It can also result in unnecessarily high development expenses with surface parking costing up to $3,000 per space while parking structures costing up to $15,000 per space. On the other hand, providing too little parking in the absence of other transportation options to access certain areas can also hinder economic development. Property owners seeking to develop or redevelop their property may find it difficult to obtain financing due to the lack of adequate parking to serve their site. Furthermore, if significantly reduced parking requirements are allowed in the absence of viable parking alternatives or modes of transportation, property owners may experience a decrease in business activity; parking may intrude into adjoining neighborhoods; and cause excessive vehicle circulation while patrons search for parking. Existing Parking Challenges and Potential Considerations As reported earlier in Chapters 1 and 2, the City of Delray Beach provides public parking facilities in the form of on-street parking and off-street parking at surface lots and garages strategically located within the study area. There are a total of 1,053 on-street parking spaces and 2,637 off- street parking spaces within the study area. The majority of the parking within the City (Central Core and West Atlantic Neighborhood) is free to the public. There are several parking lots that are strategically located throughout the Downtown Area. The City recently implemented a flat fee of $5.00 after 5 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the two downtown garages – Robert Federspiel Garage and the Old School Square Garage. Parking along Atlantic Avenue and in the other surface parking lots is currently free. The demand for parking and the subsequent utilization of parking spaces along Atlantic Avenue, the Railroad Lot, the Village Lot, and the Gladiola Lot is very high. However, the other surface parking lots and garages are significantly underutilized. Specifically, the two downtown garages are significantly underutilized in spite of their proximity to downtown retail and restaurants. This underutilization may be caused by the difficulty with access and signage, people’s perceptions of parking garage safety, and the cost of parking. This imbalance in parking utilization between the various parking facilities creates the perception of a parking problem within downtown Delray Beach. It will not be prudent for the City to expand parking facilities within the downtown without ensuring that the existing parking facilities are fully utilized. The imbalance in utilization is further exacerbated by uneven parking pricing. Availability of free parking along Atlantic Avenue while a parking fee is assessed in the two downtown garages acts as a disincentive for people to park in the garages during the evenings and the weekends when the parking demand is the highest. The extremely high parking activity along Atlantic Avenue results in severe traffic congestion along the segment during peak hours. The Downtown Delray Beach Shuttle service which runs east-west along Atlantic Avenue is also negatively affected by the congestion along Atlantic Avenue during the p.m. peak hours. The Shuttle service was implemented by the City to provide additional transit coverage from areas currently not served by Palm Tran to Tri-Rail and to promote transit as a viable transportation mode. On-street parking is the most easily accessible form of parking for visitors and employees to any destination. On-street parking allows the maximum ease to access nearby retail and restaurant located on a segment. Ideally, on-street parking should be used for short-term parking and off-street parking in lots and garages should be used for long-term parking. Maintaining on-street parking strictly for short-term parking will enable consistent demand and utilization of the on-street parking resource for the type of users for which it is intended. It will also prevent retail owners and employees from taking up valuable on-street parking that is otherwise intended for retail customers. Many communities throughout the country manage parking through the implementation of a paid parking system along with a sound enforcement program to ensure appropriate usage of parking facilities. The concept of paid parking is being successfully implemented as a way to pass on a portion of the costs of providing parking to the end users. Many communities including West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Orlando and other Florida cities have implemented paid parking successfully. In many cities, the revenue collected from parking systems have been reinvested within the APPENDIX B 24 |Page communities through implementation of parking benefit districts and other forms of management. As with any new system, the change in parking management will be accompanied by resistance. During the public involvement sessions conducted at the beginning of this parking study, there was significant opposition to the concept of paid parking from several of the downtown business owners. However, with public education and a partnership between the downtown business owners and the City, it is anticipated that a paid parking system can be successfully implemented to the benefit of all parties involved. Charging a fee for on-street parking along Atlantic Avenue, for instance, will encourage users to park in long-term off-street parking spaces at the lots and garages. This will help reduce traffic congestion along Atlantic Avenue during peak hours as well as make more convenient parking available for retail customers. Downtown Delray Beach would like to function as a “park once” district for visitors and employees where parking facilities are well connected to downtown destinations through pedestrian and transit modes. APPENDIX B 25 |Page CHAPTER 5 – DELRAY BEACH PARKING CODE REVIEW Off-Street Parking Requirements The City regulates parking through Section 4.6.9 of the City’s adopted code of ordinances (Land Development Regulations), which contains minimum off-street parking requirements based on various land uses. There are supplemental parking regulations that are unique to certain zoning districts, such as the CBD. Section 4.4.13 contains lower parking requirements for the CBD zoning district within the downtown core area, bounded by Swinton Avenue to the west, NE 2nd Street to the north, Intracoastal Waterway to the east, and SE 2nd Street to the south. Section 4.6.9(C) of the City of Delray Beach Land Development Regulations defines the minimum parking requirements for the majority of zoning districts within the City by various land use categories. These citywide parking requirements adopted by the City are very close to ranges found in commonly used guidelines nationwide, such as Parking Generation, Third Edition published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and Shared Parking, Second Edition, published by the Urban Land Institute (ULI). Table 5-1 provides a comparison between the City’s code-required parking ratios and guidelines published in both of these handbooks. The generic standards published by ULI and ITE are often based on observations of peak demand for parking at single-use developments in relatively low-density settings. In most study cases, the land uses are isolated, parking is unmanaged, and multimodal transportation, such as walking, biking, and/or transit, is limited. Therefore, the application of these parking ratios can result in unrealistically high parking demand estimates, particularly in areas where parking may not be as convenient as in a suburban setting and where other alternative modes of travel are available and viable. Generic parking minimums are typically intended to ensure that the parking supply provided for residents, employees, and/or visitors and patrons of each land use will accommodate the vehicular parking demand of those users without the demand spilling offsite and without cars re- circulating unnecessarily in an attempt to locate available parking. However, generic ratios often do very little to reflect local conditions such as availability of multimodal transportation, surplus parking that may exist in the area, shared parking opportunities, and specific characteristics regarding the type of development being served. The generic ratios could result in overbuilding of the parking supply, which can result in dead zones, urban blight with large areas of surface parking and—ultimately—failed development. As Delray Beach reacts to redevelopment opportunities and prospects to attract new development, there will be the need for expand on existing alternative parking reduction measures and potentially implement additional strategies to increase flexibility and options for new development. These expanded alternative strategies will help to avoid an oversupply of parking and ensure better utilization of resources. In areas of redevelopment, there is increased need for better use of existing parking facilities and an accurate evaluation of overall parking needs rather than needs on a use-by-use basis. These strategies help lower development costs, encourage new development patterns that will feed off the synergies for parking that these alternatives create. The City’s Land Development Regulations provide for some flexibility in the amount of parking provided, specifically, by allowing lower ratios within certain zoning districts such as the CBD, shared parking (where applicable), valet/tandem parking, off-site parking agreements and, in certain zones, participation in the City’s payment-in-lieu program. Each of these options allows for the ability to provide a lower parking supply on site than allowed by Code. Although the Code does not currently contain provisions to allow for other reductions in the supply of parking provided, other considerations can be introduced that could reduce overall required parking for a site, especially within the downtown area. These strategies could be considered during the planning review process or could be used to establish reduced Code- required parking supply within a defined boundary where certain conditions exist. Some of the conditions or parking reduction strategies that can impact the parking supply requirements for sites within the downtown area: Shared parking (already allowed by code) Availability of multimodal transportation choices and amenities Existing surplus parking in area Specific use characteristics Centralized parking Pricing strategies APPENDIX B 26 |Page Table 5-1 – Delray Beach Parking Ratio Comparison With ULI and ITE Rates x - This requirement within the CBD is limited to the downtown core includes the area bound by Swinton Ave. to the west, NE 2nd St. to the north, SE 2nd Street to the south and the Intracoastal Waterway to the east.

These ratios are based on observations of peak demand for parking at single-use developments in relatively low-density settings with little alternative transportation available. The CBD parking requirements are more progressive than the Delray Beach citywide requirements and the citywide requirements of the other comparison cities and appear to appropriately reflect the characteristics found within the CBD. Incentives within City’s Land Development Code The City’s Land Development Code (LDC) does allow certain alternatives for reducing the amount of parking supply provided on site. Currently, the code allows users to calculate parking requirements for mixed-use facilities using shared parking guidelines. Additionally, the code includes a payment-in-lieu program that allows developers within the downtown area to pay into a fund instead of providing for all of the code-required parking supply on site. Two strategies to provide greater flexibility for businesses that should be considered for implementation by the City are as follows: Parking reductions based upon participation in TDM programs. Certain types of uses, primarily office uses, are well-suited for participation in Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs. Participation in this program is already required for businesses within the CRA that employ more than 50 people; one way to increase participation is to provide reductions in parking code requirements for businesses with fewer than 50 employees who participate in the TDM program voluntarily. Participants in the program can choose to implement a number of TDM strategies, including providing subsidized transit passes, providing amenities for bicyclists, offering incentives for carpooling and/or ridesharing, etc. These programs can reduce the amount of employee-driven vehicles traveling to and from a site in a given day and can therefore result in a reduced requirement for on-site parking. Adjusting the Requirements for Participation in the Payment-In-Lieu Program. Currently, participation in the payment-in-lieu program requires businesses to demonstrate “hardship.” However, to promote a more walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment in the CBD, typically it is not desirable to require each property owner to provide large private surface parking areas, even if the surface lots could be provided on site. Therefore, business owners should be allowed to participate in the payment-in-lieu program as a standard option, without being required to demonstrate “hardship.” Balanced Mix of Land Uses within Study Area Delray Beach is a popular destination in South Florida for tourists and visitors that flock the restaurants and the specialty retail stores in downtown. The land uses within downtown Delray Beach primarily consist of residential, retail, restaurants, and a small amount of office uses. Specialty retail and restaurants form the significant majority of uses within downtown. The residential component consists of primarily multifamily and single family uses a few blocks away from the downtown core. The office uses primarily consist of small financial and professional services enterprises. Creating a balanced mix of land uses within the City, especially the downtown, will provide social, economic and transportation benefits to the City. The addition of office space within downtown will increase opportunities for intracity travel as well as provide residents with access to high skilled and better paying work opportunities within the City. It will also further the City’s goal of promoting a sustainable environment. The office population will in turn support downtown restaurants and businesses. The need for additional office space has been identified both within the Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan. The City would especially like to attract Class A office buildings within downtown. Increasing Office Space within Downtown Delray Beach Office buildings are classified according to a combination of location and physical characteristics. The general office categories for real estate purposes are defined as Classes A, B, and C. Classes B and C office buildings are always defined in reference to the qualities of Class A buildings. There are no technical criteria that are available to strictly define the various classes but are somewhat based on professional judgment. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) characterizes Class A buildings as those that have excellent location and access, attract highest quality tenants, and are managed professionally. Class A office buildings are characterized by high quality building materials and finishes, modern design, and fully equipped with latest technologies and associated infrastructure. Class A buildings are usually found at the core of financial districts with larger footprints, conglomeration of enterprises, access to transportation facilities, adequate parking, air-conditioned lobbies, and state-of-the-art amenities and services. They are often occupied by banks, high-priced law firms, offices of large national or regional firms, investment banking companies, and other high-profile companies. In contrast, Class B and Class C office buildings are lower in quality and amenities. Class B office buildings have good location, management, construction, and high tenant standards but are older buildings characterized by little functional obsolescence and deterioration. Class C buildings are typically 15 to 25 years old but maintain steady occupancy. Class A buildings are more prestigious and compete for premier tenants and higher rents than Class B and Class C office buildings. Interviews with Class A Office Developers Representatives from five (5) national real estate development companies were interviewed for the purpose of gaining their input and preferences on suitable development framework to promote Class A office in Central Business Districts (CBDs).The following individuals were interviewed: Kevin Ryan – Related New York Laura Longsworth – Brookfield Properties Courtland Corbino – Trammel Crow Properties Dennis Pedrelli – Morgan Stanley Brent Jackson – Schnitzer Northwest The major issue described by all participants is the dilemma of striking the balance of having adequate parking to market Class A office space with escalating project costs and financing issues. The slowing of the economy and tightening of lending markets has put additional pressure on developers to find innovative ways to get their project financed and leased. APPENDIX B 30 |Page Those interviewed expressed strong desire to have flexibility in providing parking, but also significant interest in public/private partnerships to make projects viable. They voiced a concern that lenders are still reluctant to provide financing if all parking needs are not met on-site. They also added that they need assistance and commitment from City governments to ensure that alternative parking and transportation programs will function as promised and can be guaranteed. All interviewed agreed that at least a portion of the parking supply for Class A office use needs to be provided onsite. Visitors and executives were mentioned as the two categories of users needing direct access to parking on site. Those interviewed stated that other users could be accommodated with parking to be provided within reasonable proximity to the office building or other transportation made available. The “rule of thumb” for most interviewees was that a parking ratio of 3 spaces per thousand square feet was needed on-site, but fewer than 2 spaces per thousand square feet could be provided if viable and attractive alternative options are available. The concerns discussed also apply to office space rehabilitation and modifications in land use. Several of those interviewed mentioned the potential difficulty in meeting required parking demand with limited options and prohibitive costs in developing on-site parking when compared to new construction. Often, a building being redeveloped is older and any attempts to add parking are difficult and adjacent on-street parking, if available, does not provide much additional supply. Parking agreements with adjacent land owners can sometimes be established, but these are not permanent and often do not provide enough guarantee of future available parking for lenders to be confident enough to provide financing. The representatives interviewed all expressed strong interest in local community support and flexibility in parking requirements. The following question was posed of the representatives: Of the programs with which they have experience, which do they feel were most viable? Following is a list of strategies identified by these representatives in response to this question: Reviewing each project as a unique site, rather than applying generic requirements; Developing public/private partnerships for providing parking supply; Applying shared parking calculations per ULI guidelines; Providing payment-in-lieu programs; Allowing TDM programs, including providing amenities that support TDM such as effective transit service and commuter resources. In summary, parking supply is viewed as an integral part to the overall development process and can sometimes be a significant obstacle to launching new office use or redeveloping a site. Those interviewed expressed a strong willingness to work with communities in the development process and the opportunity to strategize alternative parking and transportation solutions. Parking Requirement Modifications to Increase Office Space in Downtown Delray Beach Recently, the City of Delray Beach recognized the need to lessen parking requirements and let market demands dictate as an incentive to spur office development. The new ratio of 3.33 parking spaces per thousand square feet of net floor area is more progressive than the previous ratio. However, this ratio could potentially be reduced further to account for alternative modes of transportation and the presence of public parking facilities. The Delray Beach CRA has stated goals to promote the development of office space, especially Class A office, within the City’s Central Business District. Given the presence of numerous public parking facilities within the CBD, it is recommended that the City consider adoption of a “tiered” structure that provides relief for smaller office facilities. Table 5-4 shows the recommended set of guidelines for office developments within the CBD. The increased office space within the study area will also increase shuttle utilization, positively contribute to the City’s TDM measures and diversify the current mix of land uses. Table 5-4 – Recommended Office Parking Requirements within CBD Note: The distance will be measured by walking distance from the building entrance to available parking spaces. Office Size Within 660 feet of public parking facility(ies) containing minimum of 50 parking spaces Within 1,320 feet of public parking facility(ies) containing minimum of 150 parking spaces Greater than 1,321 feet from public parking facility(ies) containing minimum of 150 parking spaces Up to 5,000 s.f. 0 spaces per 1,000 s.f.

(net area) 1 space per 333 SF (net area) APPENDIX B 31 |Page Bicycle Parking Section 4.6.9(C)(1)(c) of the City’s LDC regulates bicycle parking and requires that bicycle parking facilities be provided (in a designated area and by a fixed or stationary bike rack) for the following uses: in shopping centers at the rate of five spaces per 100,000 s.f. of gross floor area; at fast food restaurants, government offices and community centers, and commercial and private recreation facilities at the rate of five spaces per facility; and non-residential uses within the TCEA which, through the development review process, is determined to generate a demand. Bicycle parking is an important component of off-street parking requirements. Increasingly more communities are requiring mandatory bicycle parking with all new developments and redevelopments. The bicycle parking requirements of the following communities were reviewed as part of this Study: Tallahassee, FL, Gainesville, FL, Boca Raton, FL, San Luis Obispo, CA, Denver, CO Miami-Dade County, FL. In addition to requiring bicycle parking as a percentage of vehicular parking requirements, these communities also have specific requirements for the types of parking facilities, including short-term and long-term parking facilities, installation of facilities, lighting, security, and design specifications of bicycle racks. For the communities reviewed, the bicycle parking requirement is generally within a range of 5 – 15 percent of the motor vehicle parking requirement, with certain land uses requiring 20 – 200 percent of the motor vehicle requirements. For example, the cities of Gainesville and Boca Raton, requires 100 percent of motor vehicle parking for elementary and high schools and 200 percent of motor vehicle parking for middle schools. The City of Boca Raton and San Luis Obispo, CA, also contain minimum requirements for short-term and long-term parking facilities. The generally preferred type of short term bicycle parking infrastructure is the “Inverted-U” rack or the “Post-and-Ring” rack, with the ability to support the bike frame at two locations. The preferred type of long-term parking facility is a locker consisting of fully enclosed lockable space in a secure, lighted area. The City of Delray Beach’s current bicycle parking requirements are relatively minimal in comparison to other communities that implement more progressive bicycle planning strategies. The bicycle parking requirements are also rather non-specific within the City’s TCEA and do not contain locational requirements. Currently, City staff has been requiring construction of bicycle parking facilities in the front of building entrances to make bicycle parking easily accessible and visible. However, it is important that these requirements be codified within the Land Development Code. The City has a significant bicycling population as observed through occupied bicycle parking throughout the downtown. Currently, there are some bicycle racks located at the Old School Square Garage, Robert Federspiel Garage, the Courthouse/Library Garage, and a few other community facilities. There are also come bicycle racks located along Atlantic Avenue within the downtown. Bicycles are also observed at non- designated locations within downtown parked and locked on light poles, trees, utility poles and other signage. In order to further the City’s vision of sustainability and to promote multimodal planning, the City’s bicycle parking requirements should be expanded citywide and should include all land uses. Especially schools, transportation facilities, sports and recreational facilities, gymnasiums, and shopping centers should have higher bicycle parking requirements since the users of these facilities are more likely use bicycles for commuting. Inverted-U Bicycle Rack Post-and-Ring Bicycle Rack Bicycle parked at a Light Pole along Atlantic Avenue APPENDIX B 32 |Page Generally, bicycle parking demand is determined by developing a correlation with either the amount of required off-street vehicle parking or calculating the requirement as a percentage of the overall building area and its occupancy. The first method provides a more straightforward way of determining bicycle parking needs; however, in an area that might seek to reduce automobile parking requirements, the number of required bicycle parking locations would also be reduced. The second method provides a more direct linkage between bicycle use and specific land uses, but can be more cumbersome for determining how many parking spaces are needed. A majority of the cities reviewed within the state and the country uses the first method of determining the number of bicycle parking spaces. As such, it is recommended that the City of Delray Beach use a similar method due to ease of implementation. Recommendation It is recommended that the City expand its current bicycle parking requirements to a citywide basis as well as expand it to include more land uses than currently included. The parking requirements outlined in Table Table 5-5 are suggested as a reference for initial implementation within the City. It should be noted that these are preliminary recommendations. The City may choose to conduct more detailed evaluations based on the City’s unique character and development review process before including these requirements within the City’s Land Development Code. The uses in the Table 5-5 are listed in the same order of the uses as listed under Section 4.6.9(C) (2) through (7) of the LDC. Table 5-5 – Recommended Citywide Bicycle Parking Requirements Uses Bike Spaces as % of required automobile spaces Minimum Long-Term Parking Spaces (2) Residential uses 5%- (3) Commercial Uses 10%- (4) Office Uses 10%- (5) Industrial Uses 10%- (6) Recreational/Community Facilities 25%- Educational Facilities 50%- (7) Other Uses 10%- Train Stations/park & ride lots 20%50% In addition to the bicycle parking requirements, the Land Development Code should also contain requirements regarding the placement of bicycle parking facilities including lighting, security and location within the site, design of short- and long-term bicycle facilities, construction of bicycle facilities including bicycle lanes and connectivity requirements to other bicycle facilities. In addition to requiring bicycle parking to be provided within private developments, the City should also provide bicycle parking within public parking facilities, transit stops/stations, and at other strategic locations within the study area in order to encourage bicycling within the community. Currently, the Railroad Lot has designated motorcycle parking spaces. It would be beneficial to provide secured bicycle parking spaces at all public parking lots, community facilities and at other convenient locations throughout the study area. Similar to the unique signage within the City, the bicycle racks can also be designed through local artists to create a unique Delray Beach identity. Shared Parking Provisions Section 4.6.9(C)(8) of the City’s LDC contains provisions for shared parking for mixed use developments within the CBD, GC, MROC, and the PC zoning districts. Shared parking for mixed use buildings allows a building that serves multiple uses to not have to provide the full amount of required parking spaces for each use individually. Tables 5-6 and 5-7 illustrate the shared parking reductions allowed by the various land uses within the City for the weekday and weekend, respectively. The reductions take into account the daily variation in parking demand for the multiple land uses. For example, the demand for parking at office buildings typically occurs during the daytime work hours between 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. Therefore, the table reflects 100 percent usage between these hours. However, during these same work hours, residential uses typically do not have a high demand for parking because the residents are normally at work. This creates the opportunity to potentially share parking spaces during these time periods. Likewise for other mixed use developments, many uses have different peak demand characteristics and therefore, typically provide the opportunity to share common parking facilities. The number of spaces that can be shared depends on, but is not limited to, the mix of land uses on the site, size of the development, and location of the parking facilities.

The ability to share parking spaces depends on two primary conditions: 1)Variations in the accumulation of vehicles by hour, by day, or by season at the individual land uses, and 2)Relationships among the land uses that result in less overall parking demand created by patrons visiting multiple land uses on the same vehicle trip. This typically occurs on sites that contain complementary land uses where the urban design encourages users to visit multiple uses. The sharing of parking spaces can occur through the use of both on-street and off-street parking spaces that are open to all potential users. The principles of shared parking can be implemented through various strategies, including shared parking agreements between a group of users APPENDIX B 33 |Page or property owners. Payment-in-lieu programs are also a form of shared parking, where different uses share parking in a common parking facility rather than providing parking exclusively for each individual site. The City already implements a payment-in-lieu of parking program; however, it is only available for infill development and only on the basis of hardship. In keeping with the City’s vision of sustainability and to maximize the utilization of available parking supply, it is recommended that scope of shared parking currently allowed within the City be expanded. Shared parking provisions help to reduce the oversupply of parking provided while maintaining an adequate supply of parking to serve the businesses and residences in the area. Shared parking also allows for the development area of a site to be more effectively utilized by maximizing building footprint and reducing surface parking. As noted in Shared Parking, Second Edition, published by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), “a fundamental principle of downtown planning from the earliest days of the automobile has always been to share parking resources rather than to allocate parking for each use or building.” It further notes that “[a]n oversupply of parking can result in excess storm drainage impacts and unnecessarily high expenses (surface stalls can cost $2,000 to $3,000 per space and structured spaces $15,000 to $25,000 or more). Insufficient parking can result in the intrusion of parking into neighborhoods or adjoining properties, excessive vehicle circulation, and unhappy users.” Therefore, the concept of “shared parking”—determining the overall peak demand for a mixed-use site by taking into account the variation in peak parking demand for various uses—is a valuable tool to apply to ensure that the supply provided is adequate for the site requirements but is not excessive. Incentives and Bonuses for Developments Utilizing Shared Parking Mixing different, yet compatible, land uses in the same area makes it possible to provide shared parking facilities. These land uses must be functionally linked but have different characteristics for hours of use for this program to be effective. Shared parking reduces the number of spaces required in total, which in turn lessens the amount of land and cost for parking. The incentive to developers to apply shared parking is clearly in their best interest as it can reduce the associated costs of constructing and maintaining a larger parking supply. Communities can best encourage use of this incentive by providing a clear and understandable program to apply shared parking reductions and ensuring that the City’s shared parking guidelines result in not over- or under- building the parking supply. Many communities have had great success in adopting shared parking calculation procedures as defined in ULI’s Shared Parking, Second Edition. This comprehensive manual uses a substantial amount of empirical data to estimate parking requirements and includes actual case studies that describe the implementation of shared parking practices. Different mixes of office, retail, hotel, restaurant, and residential space can quickly be analyzed to determine the optimal parking requirements through shared parking. The guideline includes weekday and Saturday parking demand ratios, hourly variations in demand, adjustments for seasonal variations and passengers per automobile. Section 4.6.9(C)8 of the City’s LDC allows for the calculation of shared parking reductions for mixed-use development. However, the City’s Code uses a generalized table that looks at maximum parking demands within five very generalized time windows (three time windows on weekdays and two time windows on weekends). The current table may be more appropriate for small mixed use developments due to the ease of application and calculations. However, for larger developments it would be more appropriate to utilize the ULI’s shared parking provision to realize the full benefits of shared parking.The adoption of the ULI procedures defined in Shared Parking, Second Edition as the methodology for calculating shared parking requirements within the City as an additional option to the current procedure defined in the City’s Code will provide an efficient and direct method of determining the appropriate shared parking reductions for mixed-use developments within the City of Delray Beach. It is also recommended that the City extend shared parking reductions to mixed use developments outside the currently specified CBD, GC, MROC, and the PC zoning districts. The City can also extend joint use of parking facilities between adjacent developments that do not have overlapping hours of operation using the same principles as that of mixed use developments. In addition to allowing shared parking reductions for private developments, the City can also implement shared parking concepts within targeted redevelopment areas within the City, such as the West Atlantic Neighborhood. The City can build public parking facilities at strategic locations within the West Atlantic Neighborhood, similar to the ones in the downtown core and the Beach District, and waive/reduce parking requirements for businesses within a specified distance of public parking facilities. This can be similar to the public parking fee program currently allowed under Section 4.6.9 (E)(4) of the City’s LDC. APPENDIX B 34 |Page CHAPTER 6 – WALKABILITY REVIEW Most trips begin and end with walking. Hence pedestrian facilities are an important component of transportation infrastructure in a community. Specifically, the pedestrian infrastructure between parking facilities and destinations will greatly affect the utilization of parking facilities. The enhancement of pedestrian facilities within the study area is also an important strategy to reduce the City’s carbon footprint, reduce green house gases and promote a more sustainable Delray Beach. As part of the study, the walkability within downtown Delray Beach was evaluated. Currently a significant majority of roadways within the study area have sidewalks on both sides with the exception of some facilities that are under construction resulting in discontinuous sidewalks. The existing sidewalk network within the study area is illustrated in Figure 6-1. Walkability Assessment The quality of roadway facilities are generally measured through level of service (LOS) performance measures for roadways. Sometimes these performance measures are extended for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The roadway and bicycle LOS measures are fairly well defined and are applied by many communities. The roadway LOS is typically a qualitative measure of operating conditions within a roadway and their perception by drivers and/or passengers. Bicycle LOS is based on type of facility, conflicts, speed differential, vehicular LOS and provision of TDM programs. Pedestrian LOS criteria are similar and incorporate pedestrian facilities and amenities. Pedestrian LOS is considerably less developed and not as widely applied as roadway and bicycle LOS. LOS is typically assigned a grade of A through F from best to worst conditions. The general definitions of LOS “A” through “F” for pedestrian facilities are described below. LOS A is a pedestrian environment where ideal pedestrian conditions exist and the factors that negatively affect pedestrian LOS are minimal. LOS B indicates that reasonable pedestrian conditions exist but a small number of factors impact on pedestrian safety and comfort. As LOS A is the 'ideal', LOS B is an 'acceptable' standard. LOS C indicates that basic pedestrian conditions exist but a significant number of factors impact on pedestrian safety and comfort. LOS D indicates that poor pedestrian conditions exist and the factors that negatively affect pedestrian LOS are wide-ranging or individually severe. Pedestrian comfort is minimal and safety concerns within the pedestrian environment are evident. LOS E indicates that the pedestrian environment is unsuitable. This situation occurs when all or almost all of the factors affecting pedestrian LOS are below acceptable standards. As part of this study, a more generalized assessment of walkability was developed based on criteria that affect pedestrians, are easily gathered, account for varying users, and produce recommendations for a wide array of improvements. The following measures of pedestrian related information were collected during the field review: Block length Posted speed limit Land uses along the block Building placement Sidewalk width Sidewalk continuity/condition Sidewalk obstructions (furniture, trees, utility poles) Buffer between sidewalk and vehicular traffic Shade and protection Street lighting Pedestrian lighting Driveways and percentage of block length covered by them ADA accommodations at driveways and curb cuts Urban design features (landscaping, art) Pedestrian countdown signals Crosswalk locations Transit stop locations Pedestrian accommodations at transit stops This information was then used to develop a walkability index for facilities within downtown Delray Beach. Discontinuous Sidewalk Network with Gap Sidewalk Connection to Transit Stop APPENDIX B 35 |Page Figure 6-1 – Existing Sidewalk Coverage within Study Area APPENDIX B 36 |Page Walkability Scoring Criteria A walkability score was assigned to each pedestrian facility within the downtown to determine a walkability score. The criteria and the scores that were selected to assign the scores are listed below. Sidewalks – The presence of pedestrian facilities is the most important criteria for determining the walkability score. Pedestrian facilities within the study area include sidewalks on one or either sides of roadways. There were no trails or multiuse paths within the study area. Scoring for this criterion includes: -2 points if the facility had provision for sidewalks on both sides of the street (regardless of gaps). -1 point if the facility generally only contained sidewalks on one side of the street. -0 points if the facility did not have sidewalk access. ADA Provisions – This criterion evaluates whether ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accommodations were provided at curb cuts and driveway crossings. Scoring for this criterion includes: -2 points if the vast majority of the facility had ADA compliant curb cuts and driveway crossings. -1 point if only a few of the curb cuts and driveway crossings were ADA compliant. -0 points where ADA provisions were non-existent. Conflicts – The presence or absence of conflicts along a facility contributes to its walkability score. Conflicts include gaps in sidewalks that interrupt continuity or the presence of obstructions, such as utility poles, signs, that compromises the effective width of the facility. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points for a sidewalk facility without gaps, broken concrete, or obstructions in the sidewalk path. -0 points if a sidewalk facility had gaps, broken concrete, or obstructions in the sidewalk path. Sidewalk Width – The effective width of a sidewalk is an important component of the quality of pedestrian infrastructure. The width of a facility has a direct impact on the comfort level of the pedestrian as well as determines whether or not a wheelchair can be maneuvered along the sidewalk. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points where the sidewalk width was five feet or greater. -1 point where the sidewalk width was between four and five feet. -0 points where the sidewalk width was less than four feet. Pedestrian Crossing Provisions – Pedestrian amenities such as crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and mid-block crossings increase the perception of comfort and safety for pedestrians. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points where appropriate pedestrian crossing provisions were provided throughout the segment. For example, at signalized intersections, the provisions included pedestrian signals, push- button access, and marked crosswalks. At unsignalized intersections, the provisions included marked crosswalks. -1 point where the pedestrian crossing provisions were minimal (i.e. no pedestrian signals at signalized intersections, unmarked crossings at signalized intersections). -0 points where pedestrian crossing provisions were not provided. Pedestrian Lighting – Lighting is an important factor that contributes to the comfort level and perception of safety. Lighting also plays an important role in decision-making regarding walkability around parking facilities, transit facilities and public areas. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: Pedestrian and Street Lighting along Sidewalk Presence of Sidewalks along Atlantic Avenue Location of Street Furniture along Sidewalk APPENDIX B 37 |Page -2 points where sidewalks were illuminated by more than one source (i.e. street lighting, awning lights, lighted bollards, lighted trees, etc.). - 1 point where the sidewalks were illuminated by an indirect source (i.e. street lighting, ambient sources, etc.). -0 points where the sidewalk was not illuminated. Buffer – The presence of buffer, including on-street parking and landscaping buffer, also contributes to comfort and safety of pedestrians. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points where the buffer between the sidewalk and traffic lane was eight feet or greater. This included on-street parking. -1 point where the buffer between the sidewalk and traffic lane was less than eight feet. -0 points where no buffer was provided between the sidewalk and travel lane. Urban Design Features – Urban design features such as public art, landscaping, etc., act as visual stimulant for the pedestrian. Activity on the street sustains the interest of the pedestrian and contributes to a higher quality and a safer environment. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points where the urban design features were enhanced. This includes facilities where the provision of artwork and landscaping were prevalent. -1 point where the urban design features were minimal. This generally involved facilities with only landscaping. -0 points where no distinguishable urban design features were provided. Shade and Protection – The presence of shade and protection along the facility is an important contributor in improving the comfort and quality of the pedestrian environment and makes a facility more walkable. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points where the shade and protection from the elements was enhanced through significant coverage by trees or awnings. -1 point where the shade and protection from the elements provided relatively minimal protection. -0 points where shade and protection was nonexistent. Driveways as % of Block Length – Driveways act as points of conflict from a pedestrian safety perspective. The higher the driveways and cross streets the higher the opportunity for conflicts. Additionally, the curb cuts associated with driveways, if not designed properly, have the potential to negatively impact ADA safety and comfort. Scoring for this criterion was assigned as described below: -2 points to facilities where driveway conflicts were less than 20 percent of the segment length. -1 point to facilities where the driveway conflicts totaled between 20 and 50 percent of the segment length. -0 points to facilities that exhibited more than 50 percent driveway coverage. The scores associated with each of the above mentioned criterion for each facility within the study area are summarized in Table 6-1. The table also contains additional observations on the facilities that were collected during field review. These observations can be utilized in addressing the immediate needs along these facilities to improve walkability of the segment.

Each of the walkability scoring criteria was assigned a weight based on the affect on overall walkability. These criteria are based on overall perception from a pedestrian viewpoint and are not intended to be rigid. These weights may be adjusted as necessary based on the ultimate goals of the community. The weights assigned to each of the scoring criteria are listed in Table 6-2. Based on the assigned weights, the maximum score that a segment can receive is 104.

The segments in the table are sorted by their overall walkability scores from highest to lowest. The total weighted scores were converted back to a 100 for ease of review. The weighted scores sorted by the following score ranges: Excellent – 85 - 100 Enhanced – 70 - 84 Average – 60 - 69 Minimal – Less than 60 Downtown Delray Beach is generally considered to be a pedestrian- friendly environment with a well connected network of sidewalks along all roadways and supporting amenities including pedestrian lighting, ADA provisions, buffer, landscaping and public art. Additionally, the lower traffic speeds (less than 35 mph) along roadways within the downtown increases pedestrian safety and comfort. The location of buildings closer to the street and the variety of retail and commercial activity also improves the quality of the pedestrian environment. The streets also have on-street parking that serves as a buffer between vehicles and pedestrians along the sidewalk. As evidenced from the walkability scores of roadways within the study area, Atlantic Avenue through downtown Delray Beach and the north- south roadways closer to downtown have higher scores on the walkability index compared to the other streets outside the downtown core. Figure 6- 2 shows the study area segments by their walkability score ranges – enhanced, average and minimal walkability segments.

There are other planning components that need to be put in place to ensure that the pedestrian infrastructure can serve as a viable transportation option while also supporting the roadway and transit infrastructure. The success of a downtown is largely determined by the quality of its pedestrian environment – whether it is residents walking from their homes to downtown, shuttle rider walking from the transit stop to a destination, or a motorist walking from a parking lot/garage to a destination. Opportunities need to be made available for people to walk comfortably between origins and destinations. Some of the elements that support walkability and the extent to which they are addressed within the City’s Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan and other general plans are summarized below. Mix of Uses – The City of Delray Beach has several mixed use districts (Central Business District, Mixed Residential Office and Commercial District, Residential Office District and Planned Development Districts) and some mixed housing districts (Planned Residential Development District). Master Planning Requirements – The Planned Development Districts, like the Planned Residential Development District, have minimum open space requirements and several other special regulations related to site layout including coordinated landscape and street furniture design and integrating pedestrian way design into the overall site design. Outside of PDDs, these elements are limited or nonexistent. High Levels of Street Connectivity – The City’s design standards minimally address connectivity by prohibiting dead-end streets without provision of a turnaround. Although connectivity is likely addressed through master plan requirements in PDDs, no explicit connectivity requirements exist. High Residential Density – By right, medium density is the densest purely residential district (6 to 12 units/acre). No exclusively high density residential districts exist by right. Exceptions do exist in overlay districts and infill workforce housing areas. Multi-family housing is allowed in the Planned Residential Development District, the Central Business District, OSHAAD District, and the Mixed Residential Office & Commercial District. Pedestrian Access to Community Facilities – The City’s Land Development Code contains the following requirements to promote access to community facilities: In April 2000, the Low Density and Medium Density Residential District regulations were amended to allow pocket parks as a principal use. The Low and Medium Density Residential District regulations require recreational areas for all new rental apartment developments and owner-occupied developments which have homeowners associations that must care for retention areas, private streets, or common areas. It also requires the areas to be appropriate for youth of all ages. The land development regulations require easements to and installation of bus shelters for new residential projects over 25 units and nonresidential projects over 10,000 square feet if they are adjacent to existing or future Palm Tran bus stops (or make contribution if project is not adjacent to bus stop or if one already exists). Safe and convenient non-vehicular (e.g. pedestrian and bicycle) access to mass transit, including Tri-rail and Palm Tran, is required for redevelopment projects within the MROC zoning district to support increased residential densities and mixed-use development. Street-Level Details – The provision of street level architectural and urban design features are an important component of enhancing the quality of the pedestrian environment. These details include transparent windows and doors at street level, orientation of building to street, and pedestrian buffers. The City’s Land Development Code has excellent provisions for street level detail and promoting pedestrian friendly commercial areas in the Central Business District, specifically on Atlantic Avenue. These include requirements for the amount of display windows, bringing storefronts closer to the street, parking in the rear of buildings, open space provisions, the addition of public open space plazas, and payment-in-lieu of meeting parking requirements. There are also requirements for the type of uses that may be on the ground floor as a permitted use on Atlantic Avenue in the Central Core Area or the Beach Area. Outside of this area, regulations are minimal. Quality Place-Making – Placemaking is an important factor in developing a pedestrian friendly urban environment. Components of quality placemaking includes well laid-out public streets, squares, plazas and parks with human scale design elements, landscaping and public art. The following actions were undertaken by the City to promote placemaking principles within downtown Delray Beach. In 2005, the City amended Article 6.3 of the Land Development Regulations to allow sidewalk cafes. As part of the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, public open space plazas were added as a permitted use. The City requires bicycle parking and facilities on all new development and redevelopment. The City recently instituted a policy that requires the City Engineer to annually review pedestrian and bike crash locations to establish common patterns and/or locations. The policy requires the City to undertake specific alterations to reduce their occurrence. (FY 2010/11) The City is investigating the feasibility of providing a car-free zone (FY 2009/10) (Transportation Element Policy B-3.2 of the comprehensive plan). The City requires construction of sidewalks on both sides of the street (exceptions do exist). In commercial areas, sidewalks are required to be between five and 10 feet in width. In all other areas, sidewalks are required to be at least five feet in width, with a two-foot separation from street pavement or curb section requirement. City Initiatives to Improve Walkability The City established a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) for the purpose of downtown revitalization. The TCEA promotes transit and walkability through many requirements including installation of additional bike facilities, eliminating missing sidewalk links, and providing intermodal linkages between different types of transportation. Transportation Concurrency requirements do not apply within the TCEA. (See Policies D-3.1 – D-3.9 of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan for complete details). With the 2009 passage of Senate Bill 360, the entire City of Delray Beach has been designated as a Dense Urban Land Area (DULA) thus qualifying as a citywide TCEA. The Transportation Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan contains a policy APPENDIX B 46 |Page to eliminate the missing links in the sidewalk network throughout the TCEA and within one-quarter mile of its boundaries by FY 09/10. The City has undertaken several neighborhood redevelopment plans (Osceola Park, Seacrest/Del-Ida, etc.) that seek to improve walkability. These plans include traffic calming measures, improvements to pedestrian traffic circulation, public transportation, and streetscape improvements. In addition, the City has also implemented the following measures that relate to promoting walkability: Public street beautification program for median and perimeter landscaping Annual budgeting of funds to maintain streetscapes Maintenance of a street marking and traffic controls program Program to support City character by encouraging street trees for green linkages (FY2008/09) The City has adopted a Bicycle and Network Plan and a Parks and Recreation System Master Plan. The City is working to ensure that these plans include linkages to all the major attractions and destinations within and outside the City. The design standards of the City’s ordinance requires a development that is located between improved portions of a bicycle trail system to make provisions for the completion of any unimproved linkage. The City has also adopted a policy to develop a scenic recreation network. The Engineering Division has inventoried obstructions in the city’s travelways and requires obstructions (power poles, etc.) to be removed during reconstruction projects. The City initiated a free shuttle bus system in 2006 called the Downtown Roundabout. The shuttle system acts as a supplement to the existing Palm Tran routes and provides service through two routes. Route 1 operates from the Delray Beach Tri Rail station to the Beach and Route 2 operates from the Delray Beach public library to the beach and up and down along SR A1A connecting to hotels and retail. The City is in the process of evaluating the service and the routes to determine service improvements. More detail on this service is provided in Chapter 8. Recommendations to Improve Walkability Communities across the nation are adopting a shift in philosophy with regard to transportation planning and design. Many are moving from an auto-oriented approach to a complete street approach. A “complete street” is one that provides mobility, convenience, and safety for all users of the roadway including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists. This paradigm shift can be attributed to the renewed awareness that a street’s purpose is not just to move cars, but to enhance the livability and the urban environment of the communities. As mentioned earlier, walking is the basis of all trips. Hence the overall transportation infrastructure is only as successful as the quality of the walking environment. Enhancing walkability will benefit not just the pedestrian mode but also other modes such as the automobile and transit through enhanced connections between these modes. The vision for Downtown Delray Beach as laid out by the City is to develop in a manner that is characterized by physical cohesiveness through compact, mixed use, moderate to high density development that promotes walkability. A major goal for development within the study area is to create a distinctive sense of place through proper planning and design. Therefore, the study area should be designed to encourage convenient alternatives to automobile travel, promote efficient use of land, and create identifiable centers for the City’s diverse communities. Especially within the downtown core, walkability should be an important consideration while designing streets and properties fronting the street. The pedestrian zone is the most important element of a downtown street and must be designed to fully accommodate pedestrians. Due to the high pedestrian volumes and increased civic activity along downtown streets, such as Atlantic Avenue, NE/SE 2nd Street, NE/SE 2nd Avenue, the pedestrian zone should be clearly marked and identifiable. Pedestrian features should include wide sidewalks and several pedestrian amenities. Sidewalks along downtown streets should be typically eight to 10 feet of clear unobstructed space to allow two couples to pass comfortably. Even under constrained conditions, sidewalks should have a minimum clear width of five feet. Furnishings and amenities in the sidewalk zone enhance the pedestrian environment of the downtown street. Sidewalk amenities include pedestrian scaled lighting, signage, furniture, public art, street trees, transit shelters, and trash receptacles. Specific recommendations to improve the pedestrian environment within the study area streets are listed below: Provide pedestrian crosswalks and ADA-compliant crossings at all Railroad crossings. Intersections along Atlantic Avenue in the central core area generally do not have clearly delineated crosswalks. Currently, the pedestrian crossing locations have pavers with no striping and do not represent a clear path for those who may be visually impaired. The crosswalks should be painted in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009 or enhanced with colored pavers to clearly delineate the path. The pedestrian crossing buttons at the Atlantic Avenue and NE 5th Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and NE 6th Avenue intersections are mounted to the signal span-wire poles. These poles are generally located away from the path of the pedestrian and the buttons are sometimes hard to find. Pedestals should be provided for the pedestrian push buttons at these locations as well as others that might have similar issues. On-street dining can oftentimes encroach into the minimum five- feet effective pedestrian space along Atlantic Avenue. While it is important to encourage activities along the downtown streets, it is also important to ensure that an effective clear width of five- feet is available as much as possible. A signal controller is located at the top of the pedestrian curb ramp at the intersection of N Swinton Avenue & NE 1st Avenue. It is recommended that the City move the controller cabinet out of the sidewalk. It is recommended that pedestrian facilities be provided along NE 3rd Avenue (adjacent to FEC rail line) to make this a more pedestrian friendly corridor. Some of the driveway crossings along U.S. 1 force the sidewalk to exceed a 2 percent cross slope. It is recommended that a APPENDIX B 47 |Page maximum 2 percent cross slope be maintained along each sidewalk. Curb inlets are provided very close to the curb ramps at intersections along U.S. 1. The crosswalks should be relocated such that the inlets do not fall within or partially obstruct the curb ramps. Continued coordination with Tri-Rail and Palm Tran is crucial to ensure continued operations, appropriate stop locations, and improvements to the system including efficient coordination with the downtown roundabout schedules. In addition to designing streets, public spaces and buildings to be pedestrian-friendly, it is also important to ensure that the downtown destinations are well connected with transit and parking facilities. Convenient pedestrian connections between parking facilities and downtown destinations are an important consideration to promote maximum utilization of parking facilities. If adequate and safe pedestrian connections are not provided between parking facilities and destinations, there is no incentive for motorists to park at long-term parking facilities such as parking garages and lots that are more than two or three blocks from the downtown. It will result in long term users taking up valuable on- street parking spaces that are meant for short-term usage. This will result in overutilization of on-street spaces and parking lots close to downtown core and underutilization of parking facilities that are slightly farther away from downtown core. The following recommendations relate to improvement of pedestrian facilities and connections around the parking facilities within the study area: Bankers Row Lot (P13) is located on the outskirts of the Central Core area and generally only serves the small businesses around it during the weekdays. The sidewalks between P13 and Atlantic Avenue are fragmented, thus decreasing their appeal to pedestrians. The sidewalk connections around P13 should be improved to provide better connection between the facility and Atlantic Avenue and to render P13 as a viable parking facility during the weekends and evenings. Also, P12 (Old School Square Garage) is located approximately midway between P13 and Atlantic Avenue. Therefore it is more convenient for pedestrians wishing to visit Atlantic Avenue. Old School Square Garage (P12) does not have pedestrian facilities located along its western side. Currently this facility is significantly underutilized. Signs should be provided to indicate that pedestrians parked in the garage should use the entrance on the southern side of the garage instead of the eastern or western ends of the garage. Pedestrian lighting should be provided along the pathways through the open space between Atlantic Avenue and P12 so pedestrians feel safe in the dark. Currently pedestrians parked in Railroad Lot (P11) must walk down the wide drive aisle to get to Atlantic Avenue. There are no pedestrian connections between the facility and Atlantic Avenue. It is recommended that pedestrian facilities be provided from the facility to Atlantic Avenue. Pedestrian level lighting is also recommended at this facility. SW 4th Ave parking lot (P20) does not have adequate lighting and serves as a challenge to pedestrians in the dark. Additionally there is no proper signage at the facility indicating public parking. This facility is also underutilized due to the above reasons as well as the limited amount of retail around this facility. It is recommended that signage and pedestrian lighting be improved at this facility. It is not quite clear if NW 5th Ave lot (P21 near fire station) is intended for public parking. There is no signage at the facility indicating public parking. Proper signage needs to be provided at this facility. Wide driveways at the fire station cause difficulty for a pedestrian to delineate the crossing. This could cause confusion for users of P21. It is recommended that any driveway crossings greater than 25 feet be striped as crosswalks to provide pedestrians with a delineated path to the other side. APPENDIX B 48 |Page CHAPTER 7 – TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a term for strategies aimed to achieve efficient use of the transportation system without physical modifications to the transportation network. TDM strategies are policies or programs intended to achieve shifts in travel patterns such as shifting from automobile to non-automobile modes, from single-occupant vehicles to higher occupancy vehicles, and from peak-hour travel to off-peak travel. TDM strategies typically involve employers and public agencies who can influence the travel behavior of employees and citizens. Some of the benefits of TDM strategies include congestion mitigation, energy and fuel conservation, savings in parking and road costs, and improvement in safety and overall mobility. The basic premise of TDM is that roadway congestion in urban areas can be reduced by changing the travel habits of commuters and by increasing public awareness of travel choices. If a significant number of commuters can vary when and how they travel to work or school, the peak-hour traffic volumes can be significantly reduced and the traffic can be spread more evenly throughout the day. TDM programs are currently being successfully utilized in urban areas across the country. The more common TDM strategies that are in use include ridesharing, telecommuting, flexible work weeks, bicycle and pedestrian master planning, parking management, and transit incentives. Why implement a TDM program? Traffic congestion impacts the majority of urban and metropolitan areas across the country. In most areas the peak-hour roadway capacity has not been able to keep pace with the increasing number of cars on the road. TDM programs result in reduction in single-occupant vehicles while promoting shifts in travel patterns from peak hours to non-peak hours and automobile modes to other modes. The reduction in travel associated with implementation of TDM strategies can also translate into reduced parking demands. A reduction in parking demand within urban areas, specifically downtowns, can translate into several benefits including reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), green house gases and congestion. In addition to the environmental benefits, there are also economic benefits associated with TDM programs. Carpooling (or ridesharing) can save a household up to $100 a month, depending on the length of the commute. Using transit instead of driving can save a household even more. The overall reduction in household transportation costs combined with the environmental benefits is increasing the interest and participation in TDM activities. TDM strategies are specifically targeted to reduce single occupancy vehicles. A small percentage increase from single occupancy vehicles to higher occupancy vehicles can result in significant economic benefit to the City and businesses by bringing in additional people within the downtown while maintaining roadway and parking capacity. The reduction in travel associated with implementation of TDM strategies can translate into reduced parking demands. How TDM Program is implemented? Many local governments provide opportunities to reduce the required parking for a development through implementation of a defined TDM program. The parking reduction is accompanied by a transportation analysis utilizing professionally accepted methodology demonstrating a reduction in vehicle trips associated with the TDM program and a commitment to monitor and report the participation in the TDM program. The commitment is typically formalized in a development agreement approved by the local government that defines the TDM program, including monitoring and reporting conditions, and addresses any actions which may be required to mitigate poor TDM performance. TDM programs are typically implemented by employers with assistance from local governments and regional transportation agencies. Participation in TDM programs is generally voluntary and incentivized; however, some local governments have mandatory TDM requirements associated with development projects. The most common TDM strategies are ridesharing and vanpooling (with guaranteed ride home program and preferential parking), transit pass discounts, commuter tax benefits, flexible work schedules, and promotion of bicycling and walking (with corresponding facilities). Applicability within Delray Beach The City and the CRA have undertaken several efforts to transform downtown Delray Beach into a pedestrian and transit friendly downtown. A significant amount of pedestrian activity can be observed within Downtown Delray Beach, especially along Atlantic Avenue and the side streets within the retail core. The City has also implemented a downtown shuttle to provide an additional mode of transportation for residents and visitors in the downtown and the beach area. However, traffic congestion is still an issue within the study area during peak hours of commuting and recreation. Parking facilities along Atlantic Avenue and within one block of Atlantic Avenue are heavily utilized while the facilities that are located a few blocks out are significantly underutilized. There is also a problem with employees taking up convenient short-term parking spots that are in close proximity to the retail core thereby limiting parking choices for visitors and business patrons. The City of Delray Beach’s Land Development Code provides for the establishment of TDM measures but does not include specific steps or policies toward implementation. The implementation of TDM strategies would have a positive effect on traffic congestion and parking availability. The City of Delray Beach is an excellent candidate for implementation of a TDM program targeted towards reducing single-occupancy vehicles and providing incentives for employees to take up long-term parking spaces farther from downtown. Potential TDM Programs for implementation within Delray Beach are listed below. Strategy 1 – Carpooling Carpooling refers to the shared use of a car, especially for commuting to work. Carpooling is the most common and cost effective form of ridesharing. Generally, a formal carpooling service is provided by a transit agency, a regional transportation facility or a ride share agency through the establishment of an interactive database application that facilitates the development of a ridesharing or carpooling network over the Internet. In some locations, there are special facilities intended to encourage ridesharing such as designated pick-up points and high-occupancy vehicle lanes. FDOT currently funds the South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS) that offers regional commuter assistance program to commuters looking for alternatives to drive-alone commuting. Commuter Services hosts a Call Center (1-800-234-RIDE) to answer commuter questions and provide rideshare information. The Center also gives transit route information and automatically transfers calls to mass transit systems throughout the tri- county area, including Broward County Transit (BCT), Tri-Rail, Palm Beach Transit (Palm-Tran) and the Miami Dade Transit (MDT). APPENDIX B 49 |Page [SFCS Website -http://www.1800234ride.com/] Participants interested in carpooling can sign up with the SFCS to receive a free list of possible carpool partners from the SFCS’ computerized database. Participants are also enrolled in the Emergency Home Ride Program that provides free taxi service for registered commuters in the event of an unexpected emergency. The carpooling program can be informally implemented immediately with the City/CRA creating information campaigns on benefits of carpooling and conducting public education strategies on the SFCS Rideshare Matching Database and web site. This success of the strategy is dependent on the employer and public outreach and is complemented by the TDM marketing activities. There are two park and ride locations within Delray Beach – within the Tri- Rail Station parking lot (78 spaces) and a parking lot at Congress Avenue and 82nd Street (327 spaces). SFCS encourages the use of these park-and- ride lots for carpool, vanpool and transit users. Strategy 2 – Vanpooling Vanpooling is a form of ridesharing that typically uses vans often supplied by employers, non-profit organizations, or commuter assistance agencies. A vanpool usually consists of seven to 15 people who commute together on a regular basis. One person volunteers to be the driver/coordinator of the van. The riders share a fee, usually paid monthly, that covers the vanpool fare. Some vanpools are self-supporting by the members, while many vanpool programs are subsidized either by employers or by local commuter assistance agencies. Vanpooling is particularly suitable for longer commutes of 10 miles or more each way because the longer the commute, the greater the savings versus driving alone for each member. Vanpooling tends to experience economies of scale - the higher the number of members in a vanpool the lower the shared cost for each member. SFCS provides assistance with vanpool operations within South Florida through provision of possible vanpool partner information and enrollment in the emergency ride home program. Vanpools can also use the High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes and the I-95 Express Lanes that greatly reduces commute time during peak hours. Palm Beach County MPO provides support and assistance for the vanpool programs. Currently, there are 37 active vanpools within the County which translates into a reduction of approximately 125,000 annual commuter trips, five million highway miles, 200,000 gallons of fuel, and 2,049 tons of carbon-di-oxide. South Florida Vanpool (1-800-826-RIDE) is a service supported by the Palm Beach MPO that helps commuters find a viable vanpool alternative to driving their personal vehicle. This service is supported by the Palm Beach MPO. The service tries with match employees with other commuters that share nearby origins and destinations. These groups are assigned a van and share commuting expenses. [South Florida Vanpool Website - http://www.vpsiinc.com/Home/index.asp?OID=26] A typical vanpooler saves approximately $100 per month compared to driving alone. Vanpooling helps employers by reducing the number of parking spaces required for employees and in turn makes the facility more accessible for customers. It also allows an employer to expand their labor recruiting market into outlying areas and attract workers. Employers can contribute up to $105 per month tax-free to help cover employees’ vanpool fare. The SFCS offers matching of employees with potential vanpool partners at no charge. Employers can help encourage vanpool participation an enjoy parking benefits at little to no cost. Strategy 3 – Guaranteed Ride Home Programs Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) programs are generally a part of the commute trip reduction program provided by regional/local transit agencies, commuter assistance programs, or by employers that participate in such programs. GRH programs provide a free or occasional subsidized ride to commuters during emergency or unexpected situations to participants that commute via carpooling or vanpooling. GRH programs may use taxis, rental cars or company vehicles. The cost of offering this service tends to be low because it is seldom used. GRH programs are a common component of rideshare programs. The SFCS offers an emergency ride home (ERH) program for registered commuters in Palm Beach County. Participants are provided with free taxi service in the event of unexpected emergency 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The program is available to commuters who carpool, vanpool, ride transit, bicycle, or walk to work at least three days a week. Eligible "emergency" situations include illness of the commuter or a member of his/her immediate family; unscheduled overtime or extended work hours; or a carpool/vanpool driver's inability to make the scheduled trip home due to an unexpected work schedule or illness. Each registered ERH program participant is allowed up to six free emergency rides per year. A qualified voucher is given to the taxi company to utilize the service. Vouchers are available upon commuter registration through the ERH online voucher system or paper vouchers. Typical vanpool vehicle Logo for GRH program Carpool Lane Sign APPENDIX B 50 |Page Strategy 4 – SchoolPooling SchoolPooling is a rideshare activity that is geared towards school children. Trips to and from schools constitute a significant portion of peak hour trips. The Florida Department of Transportation offers a free SchoolPool transportation matching and participation program. The program is exclusively for students, and links parents/students interested in carpooling, biking, or walking to and from school. With assistance from the school, a carpool lane is sometimes implemented as an incentive for parents/students to use when carpooling. FDOT uses its rideshare matching database to develop a list of names for each registered parent that can be used to match them with other parents at their respective schools for school pooling of their children to school. Each registered parent receives a list of parents that live within a 3-mile radius of their house. It is then the responsibility of parents to contact names on their lists to make ride sharing arrangements for the school year. The carpool, bike and walk groups selected sign up for a Community License Program. The Commuter License is used to provide information to the school on each student's drop-off and pick-up schedule for the child's safety. As part of the Commuter License package each parent receives his/her vehicle hangtag to be displayed during pick-up and drop-off, or to have access to the school's carpool lane, if applicable. There are 24 schools within Palm Beach County that participate in the School Pool program offered by FDOT. Strategy 5 – Flexible/Compressed Work Week A compressed work week of four days, 10 hours each, reduces commuting trips by 20 percent and is often described as an effective and desirable employee recruitment and retention tool. Other compressed work week strategies involve working nine days, instead of 10, during a pay period, which benefits in a 10 percent trip reduction. Flexible workweeks whereby commuters have flexibility to start and stop their shifts during times other than peak hours are effective in removing trips from peak hours. This strategy is designed to effectively remove people from the peak-hour commute periods during certain times of the week by condensing their work week. They may also be removed from the peak periods by extending the hours of the condensed work week. For example, a new four-day work week might be implemented with standard daily working hours of from 7 AM to 6 PM. This would result in the commute occurring before and after the typical peak periods. The role of the TDM program is to provide employers with information regarding the benefits of this option as it may be appropriate for their workforce. Generally, the discretion regarding whether flexible work scheduled is appropriate is dependent on the employer and the type of business. The promotion of a compressed/flexible work week as a strategy to reduce peak-hour vehicle trips could be somewhat effective in Delray Beach. The City/CRA’s role will include promoting this strategy to employers and businesses as a viable alternative to existing schedules as well as offer this to City employees. The City/CRA can also promote the strategy through public awareness, education, and other campaigns. The implementation and success of this strategy will be largely dependent upon the businesses within the City and the CRA. Strategy 6 – Employer Outreach Employers have major influence over the commuting habits of their employees. Most Commuter Assistance Programs conduct outreach to educate employers. Employers are generally not aware of the benefits of transit, the availability of subsidized vanpooling or the cost benefits of flexible work schedules. Employers have a vested interest in having employees arrive at work rested, on time, and productive. Employers who offer employee benefits such as the ability to buy vanpool or transit passes using pre-tax dollars deducted from paychecks tend to have a competitive edge in recruiting and retaining a workforce. Most employers provide free parking to employees even though those spaces actually cost the employer. Some employers offer their employees TDM incentives such as paying for employee’s transit or vanpool passes because the practice frees up parking spaces for customers. Employer outreach can be done in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce to get the information on TDM programs to employers. Employers are generally very receptive to learn of free programs they can offer to employees, such as the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program, and placing TDM messages on their intranets and/or forwarding TDM informational emails to employees. The City can make employers aware of the benefits of TDM as a recruitment and retention tool and as a benefit to the employees. The City can explore programs whereby every business that receives an occupational license or building permit also receives an invitation to practice TDM solutions. Strategy 7 – Public Outreach The strategy refers to the use of City’s existing communications opportunities including cable television, City web site, newsletters, utility bill inserts and signs to communicate TDM related information to the public. This will utilize the City’s resources to effectively communicate with the public without spending significant financial resources to buy outside media or advertising time. The City can partner with South Florida Commuter Services to obtain information materials that are already prepared and disseminate them to City residents. Methods to create public awareness of TDM include, but are not limited to: marketing, advertising, public relations, brochures, web, outreach, direct mail inserts, blast emails, events, media buy, and database marketing. Each of these individual methods can be cost-effectively APPENDIX B 51 |Page developed in partnership with South Florida Commuter Services and other regional programs. Strategy 8 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Planning The integration and promotion of bicycle and pedestrian modes into the overall transportation infrastructure can have a significant impact on reducing automobile travel. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities and amenities coupled with good land use strategies provide the opportunity to conduct shorter trips through bicycling and walking and longer trips on the automobile. Especially within Downtown Delray Beach, where there is a mix of land uses, there are more opportunities for reducing or eliminating automobile travel and encouraging pedestrian and bicycle travel. This TDM strategy refers to planning for bicycle and pedestrian facilities and amenities while also integrating these facilities with the transit and roadway infrastructure. Bicycling and walking integrates well with transit. Bicycling combined with transit can provide a high level of mobility comparable to automobile travel. Transit is most effective for moderate- and long-distance trips on busy corridors, while cycling is effective for shorter-distance trips with multiple stops. Similarly, good pedestrian connections between neighborhoods and transit facilities will serve as an incentive to transit riders. Similarly, good pedestrian connections from parking facilities to community destinations will encourage drivers to park at long-term parking facilities and walk to their destinations rather than find the closest on-street parking spaces thus taking up valuable short-term parking spaces. The provision of well designed pedestrian facilities with pedestrian friendly features such as lighting, landscaping and shade can encourage parking management in downtown Delray Beach. Strategy 9 – Commuter Tax Benefits TDM programs such as commuter tax benefits are a powerful strategy to encourage ridesharing and transit while reducing trips on congested roadways. Commuter tax benefits are intended to save money for both the employers and the employees. Federal law (as outlined in Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century) lets workers receive up to $230 a month in employer-paid tax-free transit costs or take up to $230 a month in tax- sheltered payroll deductions for transit costs. This law allows employers to give their workers up to $230 each month for transit or vanpool commuting costs as a tax-free benefit. It also allows employers to give employees the option to use payroll deductions to avoid paying taxes on up to $230 a month in commuting costs. Employer-paid transit commuter benefits include passes, vouchers, or similar fare media, or cash to employees to cover their transit or qualified vanpool commuting costs. The employer’s costs of providing benefits can be deducted as a normal business expense. Employers do not have to pay their share of federal payroll taxes on transit commuter benefits. The payroll tax savings alone is usually more than enough to cover any cost of administering the program. Alternatively, employers can share the cost of commuting with their employees by paying for part of their monthly commuting costs and letting employees pay the remainder using pre-tax dollars. Employers can allow their employees to purchase transit commuter benefits – in effect, pay for their own transit and vanpool commuting costs – with pre-tax dollars. This is done by deducting the cost of the transit commuter benefits received by an employee from the employee’s paycheck. The first $230 per month of commuting costs paid by the employee will be exempt from federal income and payroll taxes. The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (Tri Rail) supports an Employer Discount Program (EDP). Currently, more than 2,500 employers participate in the program within the Palm Beach, Broward and Miami- Dade counties. In addition to the commuter tax benefits offered under Federal law, the SFRTA/Tri-Rail EDP offers a 25 percent discount on monthly and 12-trip tickets as a public transportation benefit program for employees of participating companies. EDP Members are permitted to purchase one monthly or multiple 12-trip tickets, per month. EDP participants also get free parking at all Tri-rail stations. Currently, the City of Delray Beach employees are participating in this program. However, there is no information available on participation by private employers/employees. More information on this program can be available at the SFRTA website. [http://www.tri-rail.com/discount_programs/ ]. Other information on commuter resources can also be found at http://www.commuterchoice.com/. APPENDIX B 52 |Page Strategy 10 – Employer Transportation Coordinator (ETC) An employer transportation coordinator (ETC) is someone on an employer’s staff who manages and promotes TDM initiatives. The ETC serves as a liaison between the employer and the commuter agency. This strategy is particularly applicable for large companies or employment centers. The ETC can be formalized by an employer designating a staff person as the company’s ETC. The ETC is often a staff member of the Human Resource Department as commuter incentives can be associated with benefits. This person is charged with distributing rideshare and commuter benefit information along with transit schedules to new and existing employees. The ETC is typically provided with training and promotional materials during appointment of the task. The ETC can also be a volunteer within the company that is passionate about TDM activities and its associated benefits to the environment. This person may be trained and empowered as a “green advocate”. These volunteers help distribute TDM related information at their workplaces and throughout the community. This strategy is designed to provide a “point person” for TDM at each business or collection of businesses. The ETC is another way to disseminate information and answer questions from TDM participants. FDOT maintains standard training materials for ETCs. ETCs are most effective at larger employment centers. There are no large employment centers currently located within downtown Delray Beach; however, there are locations outside downtown where this strategy might be more applicable. This strategy will involve partnering with SFCS as the local clearinghouse of TDM information and services. Strategy 11 – Transportation Management Association or Initiative (TMA/TMI) TMAs and TMIs are formalized partnerships, usually between FDOT, a local government, and the business community, to champion TDM within a specific area. They often operate trolley or shuttle systems, promote TDM awareness, or conduct outreach. They can be incorporated as nonprofit corporations (TMA) or formed and funded via interlocal agreements (TMI). Most TMAs and TMIs are formed in urban areas, along congested corridors, or at major employment centers. The TMA/TMI fills the same role locally, and in depth, that county or regional Commuter Assistance Programs provide on a larger scale. This strategy provides an organization whose sole purpose is implement TDM programs for the benefit of business and its employees. TMAs and TMIs are typically implemented when dense developments or employment centers are created or when local shuttle systems are implemented. The benefit of a TMA/TMI is the creation of an organization that is solely dedicated to the implementation of TDM programs. It is also a good way to shield government from liability. Currently, South Florida Commuter Services partners with the cities of West Palm Beach and Boca Raton to implement TMIs within the two cities. The City of Delray Beach had previously evaluated the feasibility of implementing a TMI within the City but it was not implemented at the time. The FDOT offers start-up funding to municipalities for the first three years of implementation of a TMI. The City is also expected to contribute a portion of the funding to show their level of commitment to the program. Through an interlocal agreement a joint partnership is established between the FDOT and the City, along with a proposed TDM program, and performance measures for evaluating success of the program. Through the TMI program, FDOT will offer an in-house consultant that will work with the City in implementing TDM programs through partnership with regional agencies and the business community. Depending on the level of funding available, the City can either choose a part-time or a full-time consultant for the TMI. Strategy 12 – Specialized TDM Activities These include special events or short term activities to launch concentrated TDM efforts. They are localized and focused, but usually of limited time and scope. Examples include shuttle or ridesharing to special events, TDM geared towards school children called “school pools”, or TDM measures instituted as mitigation during major road or bridge construction projects. This strategy takes advantage of community gatherings to get the word out about TDM. It also applies TDM strategies to specific situations such as special events and school transportation. TDM Implementation in South Florida Many communities in South Florida have implemented TDM programs effectively to reduce single occupancy vehicles and reduce excessive parking needs within downtowns. Municipalities such as West Palm Beach and Boca Raton have partnered with the South Florida Commuter Services to implement TMIs. Many cities also allow for parking reductions or variances from requirements if the developers can adequately demonstrate reduction in motor vehicle demand and hence parking demand. Developments that are adequately served by transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and supported by TDM programs can create a significant reduction in parking demand. Parking reductions for the implementation of TDM strategies can vary from 5 to 40 percent depending on the number of strategies utilized. For example, the City of Boca Raton allows for up to 5 percent parking reduction for developments that provide on-site showers, bike racks, transit stop, financial contribution for a local transit circulator, and TDM information kiosks. TDM Implementation in Delray Beach The implementation of a TDM program can be a very effective tool in furthering the City and the CRA’s objectives of creating a more sustainable environment and reducing green house gas emissions. Currently, TDM programs are required to be implemented by large employers within the City’s Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) according to Section 2.4.3(E)(3) of the City’s Land Development Code. According to the Code, any land use application within the TCEA that will result in the addition of more than 50 employees is required to submit a program to implement employer-based TDM activities. These activities may include, but are not limited to, ride sharing, van pooling, and flexible work hours. This requirement does not have any measurable performance related targets for the TDM program.The City should expand the current requirement to a tailored TDM plan for citywide or CRA-wide implementation. This plan should include specific implementation strategies and performance measures tied to participation in the program. Figure 7-1 illustrates a potential interim and long term TDM plan for Delray Beach. The components of the interim and long-term plan are identified below. Interim TDM Plan TDM programs can be effectively implemented in the interim through development of a TDM marketing plan that will utilize regional resources such as FDOT/SFCS and the Palm Beach MPO. Partnering with the stakeholders at the beginning of the process will allow the City to gauge in the interest and level of participation from interested partners. The APPENDIX B 53 |Page interim plan will consist of developing a community wide TDM marketing plan. The purpose of this Marketing Plan is to create a framework to communicate the available TDM options and their benefits to the residents, commuters, and employers within the City. The Marketing Plan will consist of action items designed to cost-effectively utilize existing TDM services and communications channels. The City can partner with the SFCS in educating employers and residents about the support services they offer for carpooling, vanpooling, guaranteed ride home, schoolpooling, park and ride, and bicycling. One of the action items that the City can immediately implement includes creating a TDM page on the City’s webpage that lists all the TDM resources available to residents and employees. Many of the brochures and marketing materials can be obtained from the FDOT, SFCS, Palm Beach MPO and the SFRTA. The City can also make arrangements with the Chamber of Commerce (COC) and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to provide a link to the City’s TDM page from their websites. The City can also lead by example since it is one of the major employers in Delray Beach. Participation in TDM activities by City staff will provide a model for other businesses. It will also provide a “testing ground” for future initiatives/incentives. One of the easiest things to do is to encourage City employees to take full advantage of the TDM options. At City Hall and other City buildings designate preferential parking spaces for carpool and vanpool participants in the best spaces. Other awards or prizes could be distributed to staff that participate in the program. It is understood that the City already has several employees participating in the SFRTA’s commuter benefits program, but increasing participation by providing additional incentives will provide added benefits. Additional initiatives could be focused on walking and bicycling to work. Long-Term TDM Plan The City should develop its own long-term TDM plan that will outline programs, policies and measures that will be implemented within the City over the long term. The first step in the long-term TDM plan is to provide incentives in the land development code for implementation of TDM programs. Many cities have adopted “voluntary” TDM programs which offer incentives such as reduced parking or reduced impact fees for TDM implementation. Currently, many cities in Florida have policies within their respective comprehensive plans which establish targets for TDM. The City can implement any or all of TDM strategies listed in the previous section through its TDM program. The second step would be to develop bicycle, pedestrian, and transit master plans that will outline proposed facilities and amenities to strengthen the transportation network so all modes are be integrated. The master planning effort will be followed by implementation of service enhancements and facility improvements that were identified in the master plans. The final objective of the long-term TDM plan would be to implement a TMI in coordination with regional transportation partners so TDM programs are implemented to the maximum extent possible within the private and the public sectors. The City’s vision is to create a sustainable environment that promotes all modes of transportation while reducing the environmental impact of automobile transportation. A key element in achieving this vision will be implementation of parking management and the TDM plan. With the recent changes in the State of Florida’s growth management legislation regarding transportation concurrency exception areas, known as Senate Bill (SB) 360, the City of Delray Beach has been designated as an “automatic” TCEA. The City will need to revise its comprehensive plan and land development regulations with respect to transportation concurrency to take full advantage of the legislative changes. The TDM Plan can serve as a great tool for the City as it moves forward to develop a mobility plan whether choosing to maintain its existing transportation concurrency management system or utilize the TCEA designation.

The City of Delray Beach operates three routes that primarily serve the City’s downtown and Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station: Route 1A, Route 2, and Route 3. Route 1A and Route 3 travel between the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station and the beach area. Route 2 travels between the Delray Beach Public Library and the beach area’s hotels. The City’s shuttle routes are illustrated in Figure 8-1. The operations of the existing system were reviewed including the shuttle’s routes and schedule. The vehicles and bus stops were also analyzed. The contract between the City and the shuttle’s private operator was reviewed and the operating requirements were compared to the service provided. The cost of similar local transit systems was reviewed and compared to the cost of the Delray Beach shuttle system. An evaluation of the connectivity between the City’s shuttle service and Tri-Rail and Palm Tran service was conducted. The City’s shuttle service provides connections to five Palm Tran bus routes – Routes 1, 2, 70, 80 and 81. The headways of each Palm Tran route were reviewed and compared to the City’s shuttle route schedule. These data were used to evaluate the ease of connection between the City’s shuttle routes and each Palm Tran route. The City’s shuttle service is integrated with the Tri-Rail system via the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. Two of the routes (Routes 1A and 3) serve the station on each service cycle. The effectiveness of the integration between the shuttle service and the Tri-Rail station was also evaluated. Analysis of existing data was supplemented by obtaining feedback via a bus rider survey. The ridership peak period of each route was identified and the bus rider survey was administered during these peak periods to obtain the greatest feedback. While conducting the surveys, the number of passengers boarding the shuttle was documented in 15-minute intervals during the peak periods to gauge the level of ridership. Analysis of the existing data was also supplemented by conducting a field review of the City’s shuttle service. Attention was focused on determining popular origins and destinations while evaluating the operation of the shuttle buses during service. Based upon a review of all available data pertaining to the shuttle system as well as the field review and bus rider surveys, preliminary recommendations were developed to improve the shuttle service. The recommendations are comprehensive and pertain to all facets of the shuttle system. Included are recommendations related to integration with parking facilities and operational improvements. Additionally, marketing techniques are presented that may increase ridership. Existing Operations The objective of this task is to evaluate available data and reports that pertain to the City's existing transit system and service parameters. In general, the review of the existing operations focused on the following information: Existing routes Existing schedule Existing headways Equipment Facilities and stops Ridership reports Existing service costs Existing operating policies Existing Contract and Service Costs The City of Delray Beach and the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) entered into an interlocal agreement where the CRA agreed to contribute to the cost for the local shuttle bus service. The CRA agreed to pay the City $135,295 annually for the shuttle bus service for three years. In 2006, the City of Delray Beach selected Quality Transport Services, Inc. to operate the shuttle bus service. The operating cost for the shuttle bus service is all inclusive and is fixed at $38.50 per revenue hour. The contract is valid for a three-year period with two one-year renewal options at the mutual agreement between the operator and the City. According to City staff, the contract has been extended to April 2011 with the use of grants. The costs of several municipal transit systems, with all inclusive or turnkey service similar to the City’s agreement, were reviewed and the findings are summarized in Table 8-1. The costs of the reviewed local transit systems are generally higher. The cost for Aventura’s transit service is $44 per revenue hour and the cost for North Miami’s transit service is $44.60 per revenue hour. The Village of Palmetto Bay’s cost of $33.25 per revenue hour is significantly less than the City of Delray’s shuttle service. However, the Village purchased the buses reducing the hourly cost. Thus, it appears the shuttle bus service cost ($38.50) is low in comparison to other local transit services. Table 8-1: Local Transit System Cost Comparison Local Transit System Cost per Revenue Hour Palmetto Bay - IBUS(1)$33.25 Delray Beach - Downtown Roundabout $38.50 Aventura - Express $44.00 North Miami - NOMI Express $44.69 (1)City purchased buses. Ridership Reports According to the City's shuttle bus contract, the contractor must record the number of passengers transported on each trip daily. The contractor must provide all daily trip reports for the previous month for each route by the 10th of each current month. The contractor must provide a monthly service summary for each shuttle service route including: Total passengers transported by each day Total monthly passengers Total revenue miles by each day Total monthly revenue miles Total deadhead miles by each day Total monthly deadhead miles Based upon the detailed ridership information provided by the City, it appears that all of the monthly required calculations are not currently being completed by the contractor, specifically revenue mile and deadhead mile information. This information would assist in better evaluating the performance of the routes. APPENDIX B 56 |Page Figure 8-1 – Existing Transit Routes within Study Area APPENDIX B 57 |Page Photograph 1:Designated Bus Stop along Atlantic Avenue Existing Routes The City of Delray Beach operates three routes that primarily serve the City’s downtown and Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. The three routes are illustrated in the City’s Shuttle Bus Map. It is important to note that the City’s Shuttle Bus Map located on the City’s website does not reflect the current operating hours and the additional service coverage of Route 2. The City does note on the website that the map has not been revised. However, if a resident/visitor obtains the map from a bus or the website (without reading the additional information), these riders will be unaware of the existing service changes. A shuttle bus map (Figure 8-1 on page 55) with route information was developed to illustrate the accurate service coverage area of Route 2. Routes 1A & 3 Route 1A originates at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station and travels north along Congress Avenue to West Atlantic Avenue. The bus then travels east along Atlantic Avenue to Ocean Boulevard/SR A1A, where the bus turns around at the Delray Beach Marriott and returns to the Delray Beach Tri- Rail Station via the same route. The City’s circulator routes are illustrated in Figure 8-1. The operating hours for Route 1A are Monday through Friday between 6:30 A.M. and 7 P.M. Route 3 provides service between the Tri-Rail station and Ocean Boulevard/SR A1A via the same route as Route 1A on Friday and Saturday between 10 A.M. and 10 P.M. Twenty-two bus stops are designated along Routes 1A and 3. These stops are highly visible and effective as illustrated in Photograph 1. Passengers may also be picked-up/dropped-off at any unscheduled stop along the route, according to the contract. Routes 1A and 3 operate on 30-minute headways. The bus departs the Delray Beach Marriott every hour on the hour. The shuttle typically arrives at the Tri-Rail Station approximately 15 minutes after each hour. The shuttle dwells here until 30 minutes after the hour allowing Tri-Rail passengers arriving during this timeframe to board the shuttle. The shuttle leaves the station at 30 minutes past each hour traveling back to the Delray Beach Marriott Hotel. The bus arrives approximately 45 minutes past each hour at the hotel and dwells there until it begins the route again on the hour. Route 2 From Monday to Saturday between 12 P.M. and 7 P.M., Route 2 originates at the Delray Beach Public Library and travels east along Atlantic Avenue to Ocean Boulevard/SR A1A. The bus then travels south along Ocean Boulevard, where the bus turns around at the Wright by the Sea Hotel. The bus then travels north along Ocean Boulevard and pulls into the Berkshire on the Ocean Hotel before continuing traveling north of Atlantic Avenue to Crestwood Drive. The bus turns left and travels west along Crestwood Drive to Andrews Avenue then turns right and travels north to George Bush Boulevard. The bus turns right on George Bush Boulevard and travels east to Ocean Boulevard. The bus then turns right on Ocean Boulevard and travels south to Atlantic Avenue, where the bus turns right and returns to the library. From 7 P.M. until 9 P.M. on Monday through Saturday (and from 12 P.M.-7 P.M. on Sunday), Route 2 provides service between the Tri-Rail station and Ocean Boulevard/SR A1A via the same route as Route 1A. Eight bus stops are designated along Route 2, not including the undesignated stops along Ocean Boulevard, not presently included on the City’s shuttle map. However, passengers may be picked-up/dropped-off at any unscheduled stop along the route, according to the contract. Route 2 operates with approximately 40-minute headways. Transit Connectivity Review An evaluation of the connectivity between the City’s shuttle service and Palm Tran and Tri-Rail service was also conducted. Palm Tran Connectivity The City’s shuttle service provides connections to five Palm Tran bus routes: Route 1 Route 2 Route 70 Route 80 Route 81 Connecting Palm Tran routes are illustrated in Figure 8-1. Route 1 Route 1 is predominately a north-south route with 20-minute headways during weekdays and connects to the City’s shuttle routes via a bus stop at the Atlantic Avenue and US 1 intersection. Palm Tran’s Route 1 stops at this intersection on the hour throughout the day. The City’s Routes 1A and three buses dwell at the Delray Beach Marriott Hotel close to this intersection for approximately 15 minutes before leaving on the hour throughout the day. This leaves very little room for delays in either system for effective transfers. If the City’s shuttle route is delayed, a rider connecting to the Palm Tran system will be forced to wait 20 minutes for the next bus. Route 2 Route 2 is predominately a north-south route that operates along Congress Avenue with 30-minute headways during weekdays and connects to the City’s routes (Route 1A and 3) via stops at the Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue intersection and at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. The City’s shuttle buses dwell at the Tri-Rail station for about 15 minutes and leave at 30 minutes after the hour. Both the northbound and southbound buses of Route 2 stop at the Tri-Rail station at 15 minutes and 45 minutes after the hour during the peak hours. This leaves very little room for delays in either system for effective transfers. If the City’s shuttle route is APPENDIX B 58 |Page delayed, a rider connecting to the Palm Tran system will be forced to wait 30 minutes for the next bus. Route 70 Route 70 is predominately a north-south route with 30-minute headways during the peak hours and 60-minute headways during the off-peak hours. Route 70 connects to the City’s routes via stops at the Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue intersection and at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. The City’s buses arrive at the Tri-Rail station at about 15 minutes after the hour and leave at 30 minutes after the hour. The northbound buses of Route 70 stop at the Tri-Rail station at five minutes and 30 minutes after the hour during the peak hours. The southbound buses of Route 70 stop at the Tri- Rail station at 10 minutes and 40 minutes after the hour during the peak hours. Thus, riders on the City’s shuttle service will likely be forced to wait 20 minutes for the next bus during the peak hours. Route 80 Route 80 (Delray Beach Crosstown) is predominately a north-south route with 60-minute headways during the weekdays and connects to the City’s shuttle routes (Routes 1A and 3) via a bus stop at the Atlantic Avenue and 5th Avenue intersection. During both the A.M. and P.M. peak hours, the northbound buses of Route 80 stop at this intersection 10 minutes after the hour and the southbound buses stop at this intersection 45 minutes after the hour. The City’s Routes 1A and 3 buses traveling in the eastbound direction reach this intersection at approximately 10 minutes after the hour during both peak hours. The City’s Routes 1A and 3 buses servicing the westbound leg of the roundabout will reach this intersection at approximately 50 minutes after the hour during both peak hours. Thus, if the City’s shuttle route is delayed, a rider connecting to the Palm Tran system will be forced to wait an hour for the next bus. Route 81 Route 81 (Delray Beach Crosstown) is predominately an east-west route with 60-minute headways during the weekdays which operates along Atlantic Avenue. Route 81 overlaps with the City’s shuttle routes along Atlantic Avenue and also serves the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. Excellent connectivity exists between the two systems, as riders can transfer between the systems at numerous locations. However, the 60-minute headway of Route 81 limits the effectiveness of the connectivity, as a rider on the City’s system must sometime wait up to an hour to transfer to Route 81. Future Improvements Palm Beach County’s 2006-2016 Transit Development Plan was reviewed to determine if any improvements are planned for Palm Tran routes that connect to the City’s shuttle routes. The operating hours of Route 70 and Route 80 are programmed to be improved in FY 2013. No improvements are programmed for the other Palm Tran routes in the next six years. Tri-Rail Connectivity The City’s shuttle service (Routes 1A and 3) provides a connection to the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station. Tri-Rail provides commuter rail service from Mangonia Park to Miami. During the A.M. and P.M. peak hours, trains operate on 20 to 40-minute headways. The City’s shuttle buses (Routes 1A and 3) arrive at the Tri-Rail station approximately 15 minutes after the hour and leave the station 30 minutes after the hour; thus, the buses dwell at the station for 15 minutes. Riders that exit both the northbound and southbound train while the City’s shuttle is traveling eastbound generally wait 30 minutes for the City’s bus to return. However, Tri-Rail users may be forced to wait an hour at times during the peak hours to transfer to the City’s shuttle bus. The City’s shuttle bus schedule allows either northbound or southbound travelers that exit during this timeframe to transfer to the shuttle service, as the northbound and southbound schedules do not operate in tandem. Transit Rider Surveys and Field Observations Public Opinion Survey Analysis of existing transit data was supplemented by obtaining feedback via a bus rider survey. To obtain the most input, the surveys were administered during peak periods. The peak periods were determined based upon historical ridership data provided by the City. The peak hour period of Route 1 was determined to be 3 P.M.-7 P.M. on weekdays. The peak period of Route 2 was determined to be 2 P.M.-6 P.M. on Saturdays. As such, bus rider surveys were administered during these time periods. Surveys were administered on Tuesday, January 19, 2010, and Thursday, January 21, 2010, during the peak period on Route 1. Surveys were administered on Saturday, January 23, 2010, during the peak period on Route 2. Number of Passengers While conducting the surveys, the number of passengers boarding the shuttle was observed in 15-minute intervals during the peak periods. The passenger counts are summarized in Tables 8-2 through 8-4. As indicated in Tables 8-2 and 8-3, Route 1 is heavily utilized during the weekday P.M. peak hour period. On January 19th (Tuesday), 32 passengers boarded during the peak hour (5 P.M.), and on January 21st (Thursday), 23 passengers boarded during the peak hour (4 P.M.). This level of ridership is particularly significant considering the Route 1 shuttle buses are 20- passenger buses, and the buses operated near capacity. As indicated in Table 8-4, ridership on Route 2 during the Saturday (January 23rd) peak period is considerably lower, as six riders boarded the bus during the peak hour (5 P.M.).

This trip purpose is reflected in the survey responses. On January 19th (Tuesday), 40 passengers participated in the survey, and on January 21st (Thursday), 33 passengers participated in the survey. On both days, the majority (63 percent) of respondents were traveling home from work or school. Many of these passengers (and passengers in general) boarded the shuttle at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail Station and used the shuttle to travel home in the downtown area. Several passengers and respondents boarded the shuttle at stops along Congress Avenue and exited the shuttle at stops along Atlantic Avenue, between NW/SW 10th Avenue and NW/SW 5th Avenue. Several passengers boarded the shuttle at the bus stop near the South County Public Health Unit located near the Tri-Rail station. A few of the respondents were using the shuttle to travel to the library. Very few respondents were using the bus during the P.M. peak period to travel to a shop or restaurant. A majority of the survey respondents are local residents and consider themselves as frequent riders of the shuttle service. Slightly over half (52 percent) of respondents used a connection to/from another public transit system during their trip. Of the 38 respondents who used a connection, 31 percent used Tri-Rail, 53 percent used Palm Tran, and 16 percent used both systems. The majority of Route 1 survey respondents are satisfied with the shuttle service and many respondents praised the service. In fact, only nine out of the 73 respondents offered suggestions for improving the service. The following suggestions were offered: Increase frequency Update website with accurate routes/operating hours Develop additional routes Route 2 Passenger Survey Summary Route 2 is not heavily utilized during the Saturday peak period. Only 11 passengers boarded the shuttle during the four-hour survey period and only 6 of these passengers participated in the survey. Two of the respondents boarded Route 2 at the library during the Saturday peak period and exited the shuttle near Venetian Drive. The destination of two respondents was the Tri-Rail station. Route 2 does not serve the Tri-Rail station during this period and the bus driver dropped these riders off at West 12th Avenue to catch the Route 1A bus. The respondents’ trip purpose was evenly split (two respondents each) between travel to shopping, restaurant, or home. Two of the respondents used a connection to/from the Palm Tran system. Field Observations Analysis of existing data was supplemented by conducting a field review of the City’s shuttle service. As evident by the passenger counts and bus rider surveys, most boardings on Route 1A occurred at the Tri-Rail station and along Congress Avenue for destinations to the east during the weekday P.M. peak period. Thus, the opposite commuting pattern likely occurs in the weekday A.M. peak period. Route 1A is heavily patronized by commuters traveling home during the peak periods. At times during the P.M. period, the bus was operating near capacity. However, no users were forced to stand during the field review. Route 2 is not heavily utilized on Saturdays during peak periods. The low ridership is likely due to poor marketing and unclear bus signage, as discussed below. Vehicle Service Signage According to the contract, vehicles used by the contractor should display removable signage provided by the City that will be approximately 2 feet by 6 feet. This signage should be displayed on the two sides at all times during operations. As illustrated in Photograph 2, vehicle wraps are used as required to identify the shuttle service. However, the wraps cover the windows reducing visibility for passengers and people outside the vehicle. Signage that does not cover the windows would allow people along the streets to see in the vehicle and recognize the popularity of the service during the peak periods. Uncovering the windows would also improve the experience of the riders by providing unobstructed views while using the service. However, during the off-peak hours, the buses may be less utilized and appear wasteful to people along the street. The CRA has expressed an interest in updating the fleet to trolley-like vintage vehicles and the signage will likely be modified if this occurs. Route Number Signage According to the contract, vehicles must display the assigned route number at a minimum of four inch numbers in the following locations: Above or beside the passenger entrance door(s) On the exterior rear of the vehicle On the exterior front of the vehicle On the interior of the vehicle above the front windshield APPENDIX B 61 |Page Photograph 5: Rear View As illustrated in Photographs 3-5, no signage indicating the route number was present in any of these locations on the bus during the field review. The bus photographed was operating on the Route 2 schedule on Saturday. During the field review and administration of the bus rider surveys, several people mistakenly boarded the bus to travel to the Tri-Rail station. Route 2 does not serve the Tri-Rail station during this period. Clear route numbers should be provided at all times in the locations required by the contract. Route 2 Marketing In October 2009, shuttle service routes and hours of operation were modified. Route 2 was modified to provide service north and south on Ocean Boulevard between 12 P.M. to 7 P.M. Monday through Saturday. However, as discussed previously, the City’s shuttle service map has not been revised to reflect this modification. The City's website states that the map has not been revised to reflect the route adjustments. A person with access only to the map would not be aware of the route modifications. The Route 2 modification was an effort to provide service between the hotels, motels, and inns along the beach and the downtown core. Route 2 is underutilized in the expanded service area added in October 2009. Most hotels are not promoting the free shuttle to their patrons, according to interviews with hotel staff. Thus, many patrons are unaware that the shuttle is free and provides convenient access to the downtown district. A possible solution is to distribute brochures to the hotels that describe the modified route’s schedule and hours. Hotels could be encouraged to display these handouts in the hotel lobbies where patrons could easily learn about the service. An increase in ridership by beach area patrons could likely reduce parking demand, as patrons would no longer use their car for travel to/from downtown. Route Adjustments for Connectivity with Parking Facilities and Other Transit All three routes predominately serve the Atlantic Avenue corridor. As such, parking facilities not located along the corridor are not served by the shuttle system. This includes the parking garage located at the intersection of NE 1st Street and NE 2nd Avenue and large surface lots located on streets adjacent to Atlantic Avenue. The majority of these facilities are within walking distance (one block) to Atlantic Avenue. However, the size of the parking garage makes the facility a possible large transit attractor if service was provided to the facility. Most destinations visited by drivers parking at the garage are likely located to the east; therefore, it is important that service to the garage be provided on the east traveling portion of routes. Thus, the eastbound buses of the routes could be adjusted to turn left at NE 2nd Avenue and travel north to NE 1st Street (serving the garage) where the bus would turn left on NE 1st Street. The buses would return to Atlantic Avenue by making lefts on NE 1st Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and traveling eastbound. Thus, none of the shuttle service area would be lost in the modification. This route modification may be only necessary on weekends when parking demand is greatest. This service may encourage drivers who normally search for parking spaces located adjacent to Atlantic Avenue to utilize the parking garage, decreasing both traffic congestion and parking demand near the corridor. The creation of additional routes or modification of existing routes is difficult as Palm Tran provides transit service along all the major corridors in the area. The duplication of service should be avoided. However, as described in the Transit Connectivity Review section, Palm Tran service headways vary and often riders of the City’s shuttle service must sometimes wait an hour for the next Palm Tran bus. A possible solution is to adjust Route 2 seasonally. Each year after tourist season, the extended beach service could be removed from the schedule. Route 2 could be adjusted to complement Route 1 providing shorter headways that could connect with Palm Tran more effectively. Summary of Recommendations Based upon available data and a bus rider survey/field observation, recommendations were developed to improve the shuttle service. The recommendations are summarized below. 1.Require improved Ridership Report data from contractor for evaluation o Revenue mile and deadhead mile information not included in information provided to City. 2.Revise City’s shuttle service map to reflect existing routes/schedule o Shuttle map on website does not reflect existing hours of operation and Route 2 modifications. 3.Modify shuttle name signage by removing vehicle wrap o Replace vehicle wrap with signage that does not obstruct the view into or outside the vehicle. 4.Require proper route identification on buses o Route identification should be clearly presented on each bus on the locations required by the contract. 5.Improve Route 2 marketing o Brochures/handouts including route and schedule information should be provided to beach area hotels to increase ridership on Route 2. 6.Modify routes for improved connectivity with parking and both Tri-Rail and Palm Tran o Modification of routes difficult as Palm Tran serves major corridors and duplication should be avoided. o Beach area coverage of Route 2 could be discontinued after tourist season annually to improve headways along the corridor thus improving connections to Palm Tran and Tri- Rail. o Routes could be adjusted to serve the parking garage adjacent to the NE 1st Street and NE 2nd Avenue intersection by creating a loop along Swinton Avenue and NE 1st Street without reducing service coverage. APPENDIX B 62 |Page CHAPTER 9 – REVIEW OF CITY’S OPERATING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR PARKING The City’s existing parking operations and procedures were evaluated as part of this study. The systems that were reviewed include the valet system, smart card system, and the Beach Parking Permit Program. Specific observations and recommendations regarding these systems are provided in this chapter. Valet Service System The City approves the use of valet parking service providing certain minimum standards are met prior to the implementation of the service. Currently, certain business establishments, such as restaurants, can obtain permission from the City to provide valet parking services for their establishments. Valet service is provided at multiple locations within the downtown and the beach area. There are currently eight valet queues within the study area. The valet queues are generally serviced by either the restaurants which they front, or private valet parking contractors hired by one or more restaurants along the block. The City does not contract the services of a valet operator. Request for valet locations are initiated by individual restaurant owners demonstrating a need to provide a new valet location. Once approved by the City Commission, the valet stands are operated by restaurants or private operators. Even though operated by individual restaurants, according to the City regulations, the valet operators are required to park vehicles for any person that requests a valet service regardless of the establishment which they patronize. Achieving an understanding of the existing availability of parking offered by private parking providers, such as valet, is an important aspect of developing a comprehensive parking study. Considering the capacity, operational characteristics, and desire of private entities to provide parking during critical peak periods will allow the City to tailor future parking strategies to address the City’s parking needs. Understanding the parameters of private operations will provide valuable insight into the policies that should be implemented, including the City’s ability to potentially charge for parking. For the purposes of this study, three valet operators were interviewed about their services. The three operators include: Caffé Luna Rosa South Florida Parking Systems Sunshine State Parking Caffé Luna Rosa is a restaurant which operates its own valet service. The restaurant’s valet queue is located on the southern side of Atlantic Avenue immediately west of Ocean Boulevard. Valet service is generally provided throughout the day. The restaurant currently leases 20 parking spaces from the City in the Gleason Street lot and the remainder of its parking is provided through agreements with private lots. South Florida Parking Systems (SFPS) provides valet services for 32 East, Tryst, and Taverna Eros from a queue located on the south side of Atlantic Avenue immediately west of SE 1st Avenue. The valet service is generally in operation beginning at 5:00 PM and ending when the last customer’s car is returned. The contractor currently leases parking spaces in the County Library Parking garage; however, SFPS usually utilize those spaces as overflow when the private parking lots are full. This is generally because the Library parking lot is located further away. Sunshine State Parking provides valet services for The Blue Fish restaurant. The valet queue is located on SE 2nd Avenue immediately south of Atlantic Avenue. The valet service hours operates between 5:00 PM until close of business. They currently lease 40 parking spaces in the Robert Federspiel garage in addition to private parking spaces. The parking service also noted that the private parking lots are typically closer than the City parking garage. Valet operators currently charge $10.00 per vehicle for non-validated customers and $5.00 per vehicle for validated customers. Validated customers simply need to present a receipt from the parking service’s contracted restaurant to receive the $5.00 rate. The valet operators are not allowed to park vehicles in city owned parking facilities with the exception of 20 spaces in the Gleason Lot and 40 spaces in the Robert Federspiel Garage that are leased to the valet operators. The City charges a monthly fee of $30 per space in the Gleason Lot and $40 per space for the Federspiel Garage to the valet companies. APPENDIX B 63 |Page According to the City, the locations of the valet queues were determined in the early 1990s. If a restaurant desires valet service in front of their establishment, they have the option to petition the City Council for approval. Consequently, the valet queues are now sporadically spaced throughout the City. The city has approved numerous valet requests but does not have a firm set of requirements necessary to conduct a full review of each application. The current valet program has not been reviewed or modified since 1998. The existing valet parking presents a few challenges. The cost of providing valet service is not uniformly distributed among all users of the service with the variation in fee between the customers of restaurants that operate the service versus the ones that don’t. The valet booths also display the name of the sponsoring restaurant for advertisement purposes. That leads to confusion among patrons that would like to use valet parking services because they don’t know where to park or which service to use. In addition, multiple valet operators with competing interests exist in very limited and well-defined valet zones, creating an inefficient system and delivering relatively poor customer experience. Currently, a majority of the valet queues within downtown Delray Beach are located on the south side of Atlantic Avenue. Even though most of the traffic enters the downtown from the west (I-95), this creates inefficiencies for patrons traveling from the east to use the service. Valet parking also provides several advantages to the City. Valet parking is highly utilized within the downtown near the major destinations during the evening peak hours. During this time, patrons prefer the convenience and the relative safety of utilizing a parking service nearest to their destination. The use of private parking lots for valet parking provides more spaces to the City’s parking supply which would otherwise not be available for public parking. Recommendation: It is recommended that a detailed valet parking study be performed to evaluate the appropriateness of the existing valet locations and to determine a more logical placement of valet queues that meets the current needs throughout the City. The relocation of valet queues from Atlantic Avenue to the other north-south streets within the downtown core should also be examined. This will involve additional coordination with all the stakeholders involved including the City, the restaurants and the valet operators. It is also recommended the City of Delray Beach conduct a thorough review of the current valet parking program and revise the requirements so that a comprehensive program can be developed that is fair for all establishments and businesses wishing to implement a valet parking program.The option of providing valet service by the City should also be evaluated. The City could either operate the valet service on its own or contract the services of a private valet parking contractor. Smart Card System The City has implemented a smart card program for use at parking meters within the Beach District. The use of contact smart card technology is well established in the parking industry, with parking equipment vendors providing solutions for all segments including single-space meters, multi- space meters, and off-street parking. Industry sources estimate that at least 75 percent of the bids for single-space meters received during 2004 and 2005 have specified the requirement to accept payment by both coin and a contact smart card, or to accept payment by coin and have the ability to be upgraded to accept payment by a contact smart card at a later date. A partial list of U.S. cities with contact smart card-based parking programs include: Albany, NY; Arlington, VA; Clemson, SC; Coral Gables, FL; Denver, CO; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Minneapolis, MN; Naperville, IL; New Haven, CT; New York, NY; Orlando, FL; Philadelphia, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Portland, OR; Princeton, NJ; Providence, RI; Sacramento, CA; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; San Jose, CA; Santa Cruz, CA; Santa Monica, CA, and West Palm Beach, FL. Many key benefits can be achieved through the use of smart card technologies for parking including: Improved customer service – enhancing customer convenience through new features. Increased revenues – providing convenience-driven sales, reducing fraud, and decreasing cash handling. Interoperability – can be used in both on-street meters and off- street revenue control systems. Increased usage – through ease of use in on-street parking and increased transaction values. Increased operational efficiency – offers more operational data, facilitates better planning, improves security, reduces labor and lowering equipment, and reduced material and maintenance costs. Stronger controls and security – reduced cash payments and cash- handling requirements and provides a payment device with strong security features. Expanded marketing opportunities – improved knowledge of customer behavior and enables partnerships with merchants. Simplified administration of benefits programs – provides paperless system for distribution and acceptance of parking benefits. Improved legal compliance – meets electronic automation requirements for parking operators. Smart cards are currently available for purchase at the Utilities Customer Service payment window. It can be recharged at several locations within the City. The use of smart cards within the City is still very limited, principally because the program has not been advertised. Smart cards can be used at all meters within the Beach District. The majority of the existing meters (POM) currently accept cash or smart cards only. The inability to use credit cards at the meters is viewed as an inconvenience by many patrons. The recently implemented IPS single space meters have the ability to accept cash, smart cards and credit/debit cards. The City is currently looking into the feasibility of upgrading the existing POM meters to accept credit cards. The City also plans on implementing IPS meters on a wider scale. Over time, all meters will be upgraded to accept a variety of payment mechanisms. Recommendation: The smart card program is still a very valuable program within the City. The City should implement marketing measures and other incentives to promote the use of the smart cards. One strategy could include providing smart cards with preloaded amounts to patrons to encourage use of the card. Another strategy could include offering a discounted fee for smart card users. The City can also advertise the benefits of smart card program through local advertisements, utility bill inserts, and sale of smart cards at community buildings and special event locations. APPENDIX B 64 |Page Beach Parking Permit Program The City offers a beach parking permit program for use at all public parking facilities within the Beach Area. The annual Beach Parking Permit offers unlimited parking for permit holders from October 1st to September 30th of the following year for a fixed price. The permit costs $85.20 and provides unlimited parking at the public parking facilities within the Beach Area. The City typically sells approximately 350 beach parking permits each year. Beach Parking Permits are available to both the residents and non- residents at the same rate. Beach permits are typically issued by beach communities as an amenity to allow residents to enjoy the local beach and other community resources at a reasonable rate for frequent users. A one-time payment for these permits provides the patron with virtually unlimited access to the parking areas for a one-year period. Typically, the rate charged for these permits are fairly low and is not calculated based upon an equivalent parking rate for parking either at an on-street meter or in a parking facility. Therefore, the rates for beach parking permits tend to be fairly low relative to alternative parking options. Although it is a significant benefit to residents, Beach Parking Permit programs actually result in lower revenues for the City. Additionally, since permit holders can park for an unlimited time, these permit holders are taking up parking spaces that might otherwise be used by patrons at daily rates. A review of other beach parking permit programs within Florida reveals that these programs are typically extended only to residents. Cities such as Boca Raton (Beach annual permit - $37 plus tax) and Hollywood (Citywide annual permit - $150 plus tax; Beach annual permit - $106) extend beach parking permits for residents and beach merchants only. The discounted parking rates are limited to residents only. Due to the Federal funds received by the City of Delray Beach for the Beach Renourishment Program, the City is required to provide beach parking on an equal basis to all users. Hence the City is unable to limit beach parking permit to residents only at this time. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City review the time limit for the Federal stipulation to evaluate the feasibility of extending the beach parking permit program to residents only. If the program is extended to non- residents, it is recommended that the City review the feasibility of implementing a different pricing structure for non-residents. It is also recommended that the City review the rates of the beach parking permit at least every 2-3 years to ensure that the rates are comparable to the cost of parking in comparable locations. Review of Parking System Operations & Management The City’s parking operations and management procedures were reviewed to assess the effectiveness and to offer possible means for improvement. This review included items such as the current staffing level, revenue control procedures, training program and hours of operation for both on- street and off-street programs. Each of these issues is discussed in detail in the following sections. Parking Enforcement Enforcement of on-street parking within the City is provided by the Police Department. There is currently no dedicated police officer in charge of the program. The City of Delray Beach currently deploys Parking Enforcement Service (PES) personnel primarily through an all volunteer labor force who are tasked with the issuance of parking citations for patrons parked at the on-street meters in violation of the time limits. This volunteer force is primarily composed of retired individuals. The volunteers are certified after participating in a mandatory training program. A volunteer enforcement service is employed by many communities; however, generally these services are limited to enforcing the use of ADA parking spaces. The cost of citations charged by the City is $25 with payment due within 14 days. Failure to pay within the 14-day period results in an additional penalty of $25. Violations for parking in an ADA marked parking space incur a fine of $250. A boot may be affixed to a vehicle that has three outstanding citations or one outstanding ADA citation and one regular citation. The City performs its own collection activities and successfully collects approximately 85 percent of the citations issued. The City uses a collection agency for older outstanding citations; however, the success rate is fairly minimal. The most aggressive collection tool used by the City is to place a freeze on the reissuance of vehicle registrations for outstanding citations. The advantages of the City’s current citation program include: The cost of enforcement is minimal to the City Concerned citizens can become a part of the City by assisting in the enforcement of parking Since the enforcement force is all volunteer, the City cannot be accused of setting or enforcing a minimum number or citations as a means to increase revenue. The disadvantages to this program include: Tickets are issued in paper form only. There are other enforcement systems available in the market that offer computer aided citation printing and tracking of violators. Many of the volunteers may not write very clearly thereby ending in adjudication of the parking ticket. The volunteers may write an excessive number of citations resulting in negative publicity for the City. The number of volunteers can increase during the winter “peak” months and decrease during the summer months, thereby making the enforcement program unbalanced throughout the year. Adjudication of the citations may require more resources during the winter “peak” months as the number of citations increases. Recommendation: The City should consider changes to the parking enforcement program. Success in enforcement has been traditionally measured by metrics such as “revenue per space” or “citation collection ratios”; however a change in approach may be more effective in creating a positive image of the community. A more positive approach can focus on managing parking to make downtown more visitor-friendly thus enhancing the overall downtown experience. The City should consider a more positive approach to parking enforcement rather than a policing exercise. One way to establish this new approach is to re- evaluate the parking citation structure. If the problem relative to on-street parking enforcement is habitual long-term parkers (employees) taking up what should be short-term/high turnover parking resources (needed to help downtown retailers and service providers be successful), APPENDIX B 65 |Page then the citation structure should be changed to increased enforcement on chronic abusers and leniency on the occasional violator. Another step towards a positive approach could include a different kind of enforcement officer training that emphasizes the “downtown ambassador model” over the more typical enforcement/code compliance approach. In Boulder, CO, the downtown ambassadors are authorized to put an extra quarter in a meter that is about to expire with a pre-printed note on customer’s windshield that says: “We saw that your meter was close to expiring. The Downtown Boulder Business Community appreciates your patronage so we gave you an extra 15 minutes. We hope it helped.” Automated Citation Hardware The City currently uses manual citation procedures where the volunteers write tickets by hand. There are numerous companies that offer a variety of automated citation writing handheld computer systems. These systems will allow the City to select from a variety of handheld computers that allow the writing of citations and warnings, download scofflaw lists and permits, issue temporary parking permits, take payment for parking at events, and provide access to parking information to field officers. Recommendation: The City should consider an investment in automated citation handheld computers and associated hardware to improve the existing enforcement program. One issue that needs to be resolved is whether the City can assign relatively expensive devices to volunteer staff of the Parking Enforcement Service. Typically, these devices are entrusted to full time employees of the City. Revenue Control Procedures There are currently two levels of revenue control procedures in use in Delray Beach – on-street and garage collections. Each is unique and requires separate programs to ensure proper collection of City revenues. On-street meters The single space parking meters require collection more frequently than the multi-space meters. The current program requires the collection of the coin vaults from the single space meters twice per week and the collection of the coin vaults from the multi-space meters once per week. Garage The parking garages are currently operated by Accurate Parking under contract with the City. They are responsible for staffing, maintenance and cleaning of the garage. They provide personnel for collection of parking fees on Thursday through Saturday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. They maintain personnel at the garage until the garage closes at 2:00 a.m. Accurate Parking also provides personnel on Sundays through Wednesdays from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. to provide security for the garages, perform cleaning and maintenance services, and open facilities in the morning. In Fall 2009, the City implemented a flat parking rate of $5 in the garages during Thursday through Saturday evenings between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. Vehicles that are already in the garage are not assessed a parking fee. As a patron enters the garage, the parking attendant issues a paper ticket to the patron who is supposed to display the ticket on the dashboard of the vehicle. The ticket stock is a 3-part ticket that enables the cashier to keep one part of the ticket as proof the vehicle entered the garage facility. Excess money may be collected multiple times during a shift for storage in a vault. The money from the vault is collected and counted by two employees and reconciled by the Finance Department. There are several issues that need to be addressed in this process that will provide better accountability for the revenue. Currently there is only reconciliation with hand issued tickets to the cash. This type of an open system is subject to misuse of the revenue by the cashier. The City can consider implementation of the following options to assist in streamlining the revenue system for the garages. The first option is to require Accurate Parking to conduct a physical count of the vehicles that are parked within the garage prior to 5:00 p.m. and to conduct hourly counts of parked vehicles. This will provide a base count of parked vehicles that can be compared to the number of tickets issued, thereby giving an indication of the total number of tickets, and corresponding revenue. This system is still not the most accurate system available. The second option is to install counting loops at the entrance lanes that will record the number of vehicles entering the garage. This data can then be compared with the number of tickets issued and will provide a more accurate reconciliation process. The third option includes installing a revenue control system at all entrance and exits and require patrons to take a parking ticket when entering the facility. Payment would be made at a Pay-on-Foot device (see discussion of revenue control equipment in Chapter 10) prior to exiting. The method of payment could be by cash or credit/debit card. Accurate Parking would still maintain personnel at the garage to assist with any issues faced by patrons. This system is the most accurate system available and is less subject to fraud or misuse of funds. Table 9-1 below shows the estimated cost of acquiring and installing revenue control equipment within a garage. This estimate is based on provided equipment for two entry lanes and two exit lanes. Table 9-1 – Equipment Required for a Typical Garage Description # units Unit Cost Total Entry Lane: Gate 2 $ 4,000 $ 8,000 Ticket Dispenser 2 $ 22,000 $ 44,000 Loops and Counter 6 $ 200 $ 1,200 UPS 2 $ 1,500 $ 3,000 Exit Lane: Gate 2 $ 4,000 $ 8,000 Exit Station 2 $ 25,000 $ 50,000 Loops and Counter 4 $ 200 $ 800 UPS 2 $ 1,500 $ 3,000 Pay Station - Cash & CC 1 $ 50,000 $ 50,000 Pay Station – CC only 1 $ 30,000 $ 30,000 Installation LS $ 25,000 Communication LS $ 75,000 Software $ 50,000 Server 1 $ 25,000 $ 25,000 Total $ 373,000 * Table based on pricing proposed for 2009 projects APPENDIX B 66 |Page Recommendation: It is recommended that the option of installing a revenue control system will be most appropriate for the City’s long-term management of the two garages. Training methods and procedures The following lists the training that will be required with the installation of revenue control equipment: The meter technician is trained to perform maintenance services The meter technician follows established procedures for removing and delivering coin vaults to proper locations The volunteer Parking Enforcement Service workers are trained on the process of writing citations Accurate Parking personnel are not city-trained and do not conduct audits All major parking management companies and municipalities train their employees with revenue control mechanism. However, APCOA/Standard Parking training and employee development system is considered as the best in the parking industry. Recommendation: With the implementation of revenue control equipment, there will be a need to train city staff and other personnel that will be responsible for parking operations. The City should develop and incorporate a comprehensive, well documented training program for its employees as well as Accurate Parking employees. The training should incorporate all aspects of the requirements such as patron interaction, internal processes, audit processes, etc. The International Parking Institute (IPI) offers training programs where they provide trainers to teach comprehensive programs on-site. The City could consider engaging the IPI to conduct a series of training programs for the city employees and Accurate Parking that will be focused on improved customer service and audit/revenue control procedures. Hours of Operation The City’s current hours of operation for on-street and off-street parking are discussed below. On-Street Parking The City currently enforces the on-street parking program from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. throughout the year with a maximum four hour stay at each metered space, which are all located within the beach district. Off-Street Parking The City currently charges for a flat rate of $5 for parking in the two downtown garages (Old School Square and Robert Federspiel garages) starting on Thursday evening at 5:00 p.m. through Saturday evening ending at 12:00 a.m. The City does not charge for parking in the other surface parking lots. Consequently, the City is experiencing overflow conditions in some of the downtown surface parking lots. Recommendation: Recommendations related to parking pricing and the corresponding hours of enforcement for on-street and off-street parking facilities are discussed in Chapter 11 – Public Parking Fee. APPENDIX B 67 |Page CHAPTER 10 – REVENUE CONTROL EQUIPMENT This chapter discusses the various revenue control equipment that is currently available for both on-street and off-street parking systems. On-Street Program As communities have begun to renew their focus on the revitalization of their downtown areas, the availability of on-street parking has become extremely important. The provision for on-street parking serves as an effective parking management tool, while increasing pedestrian safety and supporting local businesses. On-street parking offers convenience, uses less space than parking lots or garages, and creates an atmosphere that encourages walking thus contributing to a healthier and busier downtown. Typically, on-street parking is a more cost effective method for providing public parking within downtowns as compared to providing public parking only through parking garages or surface lots. The primary constraint to providing on-street parking is the availability of adequate right-of-way within downtowns. The availability of right-of-way will determine the degree on-street parking is feasible. Standard on-street parking stall dimensions typically range from 7 to 9 feet wide by 18 to 23 feet in length. On-street parking can be configured in several ways depending on the existing conditions and available right-of- way. For example, on-street parking configurations can include: Parallel parking on one or both sides of roadway Diagonal parking on one or both sides of roadway Back-in diagonal parking on one or both sides of roadway Combination of the above In some communities, on-street parking is not viewed favorably due to its perceived impact on traffic flow, safety, and the need for additional parking enforcement staff. However, the presence of on-street parking in downtown areas helps support mixed-use developments, especially those that contain ground floor retail uses which directly benefit from on-street parking. On-street parking also reduces the need for additional land required for parking lots and garages. The benefits of on-street parking are listed below: Supports retail by providing easily accessible parking Creates buffer between pedestrians and through traffic Serves as a traffic calming device Increases efficiency of the use of land Provides for more pedestrian-friendly environment Provides an additional revenue source The challenges with on-street parking include: Increases visual obstructions between drivers and pedestrians Increases conflicts between on-street parking and bike lanes In some areas requires additional right-of-way Potentially increases traffic congestion as drivers perform parking maneuvers and/or search for on-street spaces Requires enforcement either through police department or parking enforcement officers An effective on-street parking program within the City can become an integral component of the overall management strategy for parking throughout the city. Expanding the current on-street parking program can be an effective tool for the city as well as become a possible new revenue source for the city. Many cities today provide metered on-street parking within downtowns along with parking time enforcement. The City of Delray Beach currently has a combination of meter technology to control its on-street parking. These meters include a combination of single space meters and multi-space meters. Table 10-1 shows the types of meters and the approximate dates of deployment within the City. Table 10-1 – Meter Deployment Dates in Delray Beach Type of Meter Installation Date Duncan mechanical meters 1975 - 2008 POM March 2008 Digital Payment Technology August 2008 IPS January 2010 The IPS meters were installed in January 2010 for a three-month trial period. This trial period has been extended for another three months. The City installed the IPS single space meters primarily along SR A1A and Atlantic Avenue within the Beach Area. The IPS meters represent new technology in single space meters and can collect parking fees through coins, credit cards, or smart cards. There are several options of available parking meter technology that should be reviewed for future acquisition and implementation. Each of these types of meters is designed for specific situations and, it is possible, that a combination of several might be the most appropriate solution for deployment within the City. The four main types of technology available are: Single Space meters Dual head meters Multi-space meters: o Pay-by-Space meters o Pay-and-Display meters Multi-space pay stations Each of the above mentioned meter technologies are discussed below along with their capabilities and limitations. Single Space Meters Single space meters are typically installed at on-street parking spaces where there are a small number of spaces to be metered. These meters can accept coins and credit/debit cards and the newer meters can be configured to accept payment by cell phone. APPENDIX B 68 |Page The older meters were mechanical meters that could only accept coins. The newer meters available today are electronic and can accept numerous payment options. These new meters can also provide detailed accounting and management information to a central server if they are installed with a web enabled software and communication feature. By accepting coins, the coin vaults must be collected and the coins subsequently counted which results in operational costs associated with this function. Many cities contract with a third party to perform this function. Dual Headed Meters In an attempt to reduce the total number of meter stanchions installed on a block face, many cities decide to install a single stanchion serving two parking spaces that will hold two single space meters. These meters function as a single space meter per parking space. Multi-Space Meters Multi-space meters further reduce the number of meter stanchions on a block face. A single multi-space meter can serve as many as 12 on-street parking spaces. Multi-space meters are available in two options – Pay-by- Space and Pay-and-Display. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option and the City should carefully evaluate which technology offers the most benefit for their specific operation prior to acquiring and deploying this technology. The two types of multi-space meters are described further below. Pay-by-Space Meters The Pay-by-Space parking meters require a patron to pay for the specific marked parking space where their vehicle is parked. This type of electronic meter has dramatically improved on-street parking management. These meters provide municipalities with the ability to reduce operating costs and improve enforcement efficiencies. The latest generation meter offers enhancements in operability, maintenance, collections, revenue and customer convenience. These meters provide the ability for reconciliation of revenue with collection, assist adjudication by verifying meter performance, and provide information to manage collection, maintenance and repair schedules, etc. Pay-by-Space meters are highly reliable for improved operability; reduced maintenance, repair and collection costs; reduction in vandalism; and the availability of online viewing of meter operations from a centralized computer. Most models accept credit cards and other payment methods, thereby improving customer service, reducing theft and reducing operating costs associated with the collection and counting of coins. The major disadvantage to Pay-by-Space meters is that each on-street parking space must be carefully marked with a space number so that the patron can enter the parking space number into the meter when paying their parking fee. Patrons can inadvertently enter an incorrect parking space number thereby resulting in a citation. Unless the owner prefers to offer a printed receipt for the use of credit cards, the Pay-by-Space meter does not require receipt paper, thereby reducing operating costs of purchasing and inventorying receipt paper as well as having to replace the receipt paper once it depletes the roll. Pay-and-Display Meters The Pay-and-Display meter requires the patron to exit his/her vehicle, conduct a transaction at the meter, extract the paper receipt, and return to their vehicle to display the receipt on the dashboard of their vehicle. Because the patron does not have to enter a unique parking space number, the Pay-and- Display meter is more flexible than the Pay- by-Space meter and can be used in a variety of parking facilities or locations. There are two main disadvantages associated with the Pay-and-Display meters. First is the requirement that patrons must first walk to the meter to conduct the transaction and then return to their vehicles to display the receipt on the dashboard. The second disadvantage is that every transaction requires a paper receipt to be printed, thereby resulting in increased operating costs. The primary advantages of the Pay-and-Display meter are that the owner does not need to identify each parking space with a unique number. Secondly, this device offers more flexibility to the owner to develop creative payment programs designed to increase the use of the parking meters and providing more flexibility to their patrons to use the parking meters without penalizing the patron. For example, the City of Houston implemented a program called “The Hopper” whereby a patron can pay a APPENDIX B 69 |Page single fixed fee and park at any meter in the downtown area during the day, in effect “hopping” from one meter to another. This program allows a patron to move between locations without paying additional parking fees. The Hopper program has been extremely successful. Multi-Space Pay Stations Each of the two devices described above, the Pay-by-Space and the Pay- and-Display Meters, are multi-space pay stations with distinct uses. They can also be used as payment systems for surface lots, however, there are other devices that offer more flexibility for use payment systems in surface lots. These devices are Multi-Space Pay stations or Pay-on-Foot (POF) stations. Larger in size than the other two meters, these POF stations offer additional advantages to the patron in that they can be set up to accept a variety of coins, currency, and credit/debit cards. These devices can also provide change to the patron thereby further increasing the flexibility and ease of use. Many owners elect to acquire a combination of POF stations so that at least one will accept coins and currency while others only accept credit/debit cards. Enforcement As with parking meters there are many options for enforcement of parking fees that range from the issuance of a manual citation to the use of handheld computers that issues the citation, records the citation, takes an image of the vehicle’s license plate, uploads this information into a central server, and more. Parking meter vendors typically offer handheld computers that communicate directly with their parking meters; however, there are others that operate as a standalone device. The handheld computers are typically a portable, one-piece computer that includes an integrated thermal printer. They are lightweight, but rugged enough to stand up to the rigors of the parking enforcement environment. Many of the features of handheld citation computers are: A wireless communication with the parking meter Automatically stores all ticket information within the handheld Electronic transfer of citation data to the host computer thereby minimizing time spent completing and filing reports. Information can also be electronically transferred to the citation processing system. By eliminating the re-entering of data from handwritten citations, accuracy is maximized, time is minimized and collection is improved. The use of these enforcement tools provides extremely accurate citation and supporting data which reduces the forgiving of citations during the adjudication process. Courts have the supporting data to enforce the citations which increases revenue for the owner. Conclusion for On-Street Revenue Control Systems There are many options available to consider when researching revenue control systems. The owner must make several decisions applicable to these devices, including such items as: Level of sophistication of the device Specific use within the parking facility Impact to the look of the streetscape Ease of operation Ease of maintenance Reporting capability, and Enforcement Owners typically follow a Request for Proposal (RFP) process when acquiring these devices. The RFP process allows the owner to identify exactly what features they want included in the devices and the vendors all submit proposals based upon one set of requirements. Since the features vary between vendors, the RFP process allows the owner the flexibility to select the product that most matches their requirements and will provide the highest value to the owner. The City may wish to consider migrating to the multi-space meters, particularly along Atlantic Avenue in order to reduce street clutter and improve walkability. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City implement multi-space meters for on- street parking revenue control. Of the two types of multi-space meters; Pay-and-Display and Pay-by-Space meters, the Pay-and-Display meters are expected to be more appropriate for implementation within the City. These meters do not require the identification of the parking space on the street surface and are more flexible in use than the Pay-by-Space meters. They can communicate to a remote server that can provide an extensive array of financial and audit reports as well as provide alarms for when certain conditions are met, such as low receipt paper, full coin vaults, etc. These devices can also be used to recharge smart cards or debit cards that are used by many patrons. Off-Street Revenue Program Similar to the revenue control equipment available for on-street parking systems, there are numerous options available for implementation for off-street parking facilities. In addition to the traditional cashier system, there are other automated revenue control systems. The Pay-on-Foot multi-space pay stations can be used in off-street parking. The acceptance of POF stations in off- street parking facilities is becoming more widely accepted in the United States. More communities are implementing POF stations at parking garages rather than require cashiers to be present to collect parking fees. APPENDIX B 70 |Page Typically, the off-street parking facility is a larger facility and restricts entry and exit in the facility through the use of barrier gates. At each entry lane is installed a ticket dispenser that activates upon the activation of a vehicle crossing a series of inductive loops imbedded below the surface of the lane. Patrons can either extract a paper ticket thereby raising a gate for entrance into the facility or they can insert a credit/debit card that will also allow entrance into the facility. Once in the facility, the patron must either pay the parking fee at a POF station and insert the paid ticket into an exit station in order to exit the facility, or present the paper ticket to a cashier that is in a cashier booth located in the exit lane of the facility. Additionally, the patron has the option to pay by credit card at the exit lane. If the owner decides to operate the facility without a cashier present, there must be an integrated intercom system that provides the ability for the patron to contact someone in case of a problem. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City install automated revenue control equipment at the two downtown garages. This will enhance the revenue control system and procedures and require fewer personnel on-site. The garages can be opened for parking by simply raising the barrier gates in the entry and exit lanes. Once collection activity starts, the barrier gate arms are lowered and all patrons are required to pay to exit. Parking Monitoring System to Track Utilization, Turn-over, and Information Monitoring of available parking equipment is an important component of parking system management. Technology is now available through integrated web based systems that link vehicle detectors (using sonar), digital parking meters, wireless telemetry, and web-based geospatial information technology to enable parking space control and near real-time parking management information. The information collected can be fed to variable message signs strategically located along the City street systems and parking guidance signs located at the entrance of the parking structure. These systems not only directs motorist to the most convenient and available parking, but provides real-time information on vehicle movements so that a parking system can make most efficient use of parking spaces. APPENDIX B 71 |Page CHAPTER 11 – PUBLIC PARKING FEE The City and the CRA have constructed a significant number of parking facilities over the past decade. In addition to the land and construction costs associated with these facilities there is also significant out-of-pocket costs related to operation and maintenance of these facilities that place a burden on the City and CRA’s personnel and financial resources. In an attempt to offset the significant expenses as well as promote efficient parking management, several communities throughout the country have implemented the philosophy of a user based parking fee system. A paid parking system has been successfully implemented in communities to offset significant parking operations and maintenance costs and to divert existing limited financial resources towards improving existing facilities as well as providing new facilities that will be needed to meet future demand. The feasibility of implementing paid parking within the City is evaluated in this chapter. Current State of Practice A survey of communities, some of which have similar characteristics of the City of Delray Beach, was conducted to identify parking strategies implemented within those communities and how these or similar strategies may be implemented to improve parking within the City of Delray Beach. This peer city survey included questions dealing with the size and scope of their parking facilities, pricing strategies for on-street and off-street parking, enforcement of their facilities and ordinances, and other issues regarding their parking strategies. The peer cities evaluated as part of this study include a variety of sizes and locations, mostly within Florida. Some of these cities currently charge for parking while some do not. The range of parking programs also varies widely between communities. The comparison cities included in this survey are: Boca Raton, FL Clearwater, FL Hollywood, FL Orlando, FL Miami, FL Sarasota, FL West Palm Beach, FL San Buenaventura, CA The survey document was discussed with representatives of each of the selected communities and then forwarded to that individual to complete and return. Every city identified agreed to complete the survey form and be included in the study. Copies of each completed survey form are included as attachments to this report. In addition to these surveys, the study team also conducted a review of an annual parking study conducted and published annually by Colliers International. This study includes information from cities throughout the United States plus international cities for comparison purposes. The 2009 Colliers International survey was used to review off-street parking rates across the nation. The 2008 Colliers International survey was also reviewed to identify on-street parking rates since the 2009 survey did not include information regarding the on-street parking statistics. The best practice in the parking pricing strategy is to encourage patrons to use the various parking facilities in the manner they are intended and designed. On-street parking is intended to support patrons that park for short time periods, thus supporting a high turnover during the day. Off- street parking (garages and surface lots) is intended to support longer periods of time, typically at least four hours or more. The following sections present a summary of the data collection and observations while highlighting information that may be useful for consideration and incorporation to better manage parking within the City of Delray Beach. On-Street Parking Table 11-1 and Chart 11-1 shows the pricing rates currently charged for on- street parking at the cities that were surveyed. Two of the eight cities surveyed do not currently charge for parking. It should be noted, however, that one of the two cities that currently does not charge for parking (Boca Raton) is in the process of implementing a paid parking program. Of the cities that currently charge for parking, the parking rates observed range from a minimum of $0.25 per hour to a maximum of $2.00 per hour. In many cities, the prices vary within the different areas of the city such as downtowns, outside downtowns and beach areas. Beach area parking typically tends to be higher than parking within downtowns or outside downtowns. Charging a fee for parking is typically used as a mechanism to regulate parking demand within these cities. Because parking is a scarce resource within downtowns and Community Redevelopment Areas, charging a fee for parking ensures that the parking supply is based on optimal parking demand. Table 11-1 – Summary of On-Street Parking Rates City On-Street Rates Boca Raton, FL Free Hollywood, FL $1.00/hr West Palm Beach, FL $0.75 - $1.25/hr Sarasota, FL Free Orlando, FL $1.00 - $2.00/hr Miami, FL $0.50 - $1.25/hr Clearwater, FL Downtown: $0.25 - $0.50/hr Beach: $0.75 - $1.25/hr Buenaventura, CA $1.00 - $1.50/hr The following graph shows the current maximum hourly parking rate charged by the peer cities within our survey. Chart 11-1 – Maximum Hourly Parking Rates at Meters Table 11-2 presents the national average parking rate as summarized in the 2008 Colliers International Survey. The median national average as reported in the Colliers International Survey is $1.48 per hour. Table 11-2 – Colliers International Parking Rate Survey High Low Median National Average $1.88 $1.05 $1.48 APPENDIX B 72 |Page The City of Delray Beach currently charges a fee of $1.25 per hour at the metered spaces in the beach area. This rate is less than or equal to that of the other cities surveyed that charge for parking, except Hollywood, FL, and is slightly lower than the median national average reported by Colliers International. Based on the survey, the parking rate charged by the City of Delray Beach is consistent with the comparison cities included in the study and is appropriate for the City of Delray Beach. Hours of Operation An integral component of an on-street meter program is the establishment of the hours of operation that are subject to the parking fee program. Most communities operate their meter program during standard weekday business hours; however, there is a significant change in strategy over the recent years to expand the hours of coverage to include longer days (extending hours to 10:00 p.m. or later) as well as to include weekend and holiday activities. Table 11-3 presents the on-street enforcement hours of the cities that were reviewed as part of the study. Three of the peer cities enforce on- street parking until midnight, Monday through Saturday with one peer city (Hollywood, FL) enforcing on-street parking 7 days per week. Table 11-3 – Hours of operation of Peer Cities City On-Street Hours Boca Raton, FL Free Hollywood, FL 8 A.M. – Midnight 7 days per week West Palm Beach, FL 7 A.M. – Midnight Monday - Saturday Sarasota, FL 8 A.M. – 5:30 P.M. Orlando, FL 8 A.M. – 6 P.M. Monday - Saturday Miami, FL 10 A.M. – 6 P.M. 4 hr limit 6 P.M. – midnight 2 hr limit Clearwater, FL No posted hours Buenaventura, CA No posted hours The hours of enforcement for on-street parking in the Beach District in Delray Beach are between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Currently, on-street parking is provided for free within downtown Delray Beach and the hours of enforcement for the two-hour parking limit are between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Certain parking spaces are reserved for valet parking between the hours of 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Extending the hours of enforcement to 12:00 a.m., at least on high-demand days such as Fridays and Saturdays, will encourage patrons to park in off-street parking facilities leaving the convenient on- street parking spaces for those patrons willing to pay for the convenience of parking in closest proximity to the business. This will also result in increased revenues from the increased enforcement hours. Off-Street Parking Typically, parking rates charged at surface parking lots are lower than those charged at multi-level garages. The reason for this pricing variance is due to the higher costs of designing, constructing, and maintaining the multi-level garages. Table 11-4 presents the national average parking rate as summarized in the 2009 Colliers International Survey. The 2009 Colliers International Annual Parking Survey does not include data on surface lots, but does include data for garages. Based on the data, the median national average fee in garages is $5.57. Table 11-4 – Colliers International Survey Garage Pricing High Low Median National Average $8.91 $3.12 $5.57 Table 11-5 shows the hourly rates and maximum rates charged by the surveyed cities for parking in a multi-level garage. Table 11-5 – Parking Fees Charged in Garages Peer City Hourly Parking Rate Daily Max Boca Raton $15.00 -$16.00 during week $17.00 - $18.00 Weekends/Holidays Hollywood $1.00/hr $5.00 Off-Peak Season $10.00 Peak Season $20.00 Special event West Palm Beach 1st hr free before 10 p.m. After 10 p.m. - $1.00 1 – 1.5 hrs - $2.00 Each addt’l 30 min - $1.00 $10.00 Sarasota $0.50/hr $5.00 Orlando $1.00 - $5.00 Miami Garages: $0.50 -$8.00 Lots: $1.00 - $4.00 Garages: $5.00 -$18.00 Special Events: $20.00 Clearwater Downtown: $0.25 - $0.50 Beach: $0.75 - $1.50 M-F $1.00 - $2.00 Sat - Sun & Peak Season Downtown: $3.50 -$5.00 Beach: $10.00 Mon-Fri, Peak Season $12.50 Sat-Sun, Peak Season Buenaventura, CA Free The City of Delray Beach recently implemented a flat fee of $5.00 after 5 p.m. between Thursdays and Saturdays at the two downtown garages: Robert Federspiel and Old School Square Garages. This rate is lower than the nationwide average illustrated in Table 11-4 and the surveyed cities illustrated in Table 11-5. Given a choice, motorists usually prefer unpriced parking. But unpriced parking is not really free parking; residents and patrons ultimately bear parking costs through higher taxes and retail prices, and reduced wages and benefits. The choice is actually between paying for parking directly or indirectly. This underpricing results in inefficient use of parking facilities and excessive parking demand. Typically, a parking facility is considered full when it meets or exceeds 85% utilization. Based upon the current utilization of the surface lots, many of the surface lots exceed this utilization, especially on Friday and Saturday APPENDIX B 73 |Page evenings. The four surface lots with the highest utilization are: Gladiola Parking Lot, Village Parking Lot, Railroad Parking Lot and the Monterey Parking Lot. All four lots exceeded 100% utilization during some evening time periods. Parking Revenue Recommendations for Delray Beach The parking fee system recommended for the City is intended to achieve the following objectives: Maintain parking efficiencies – the fee structure will encourage patrons to use the on-street parking spaces for short-term parking and the off-street parking facilities for long-term parking. Contribute revenues to maintain parking within downtown – The collection of revenues within the downtown district will provide the City and the CRA with a means to pay for the expenses of providing and maintaining parking in the downtown area thus maintaining adequate parking supply to accommodate residents, employees and visitors. Strengthen transportation infrastructure – the revenues can be used to strengthen the transportation infrastructure within downtown, such as provision of transportation to off-street parking facilities through shuttle, tram or trolley service, related physical improvements such as bus shelters and right-of-way modifications. The program is designed to provide patrons the option of choosing the type of parking based upon the desired length of stay and their perception of convenience and comfort while ensuring available parking supply within the downtown. The recommended fee structure involves charging a graduated fee, from high to low, in the following order of facilities: Highest fee for on-street parking at the downtown core Lower fee for the off-street parking facilities in the downtown core with a daily maximum fee Lower fee structure for on-street and off-street parking facilities within downtown district outside of core area No fee for on/off-street parking facilities in West Atlantic neighborhood or other outlying areas to encourage redevelopment This will encourage employees and patrons who do not wish to pay for convenient on-street parking to park in off-street parking facilities, thereby providing the most convenient parking spaces for those patrons who are willing to pay for that convenience. The following section describes the proposed fee structure recommended for the City along with estimated revenue projections, hours of operation, the types of revenue control equipment, and validation programs. On-Street Parking Program On-street parking is the most convenient form of parking and is the first choice for parkers within a downtown setting. On-street parking offers immediate access to adjacent land uses and is the shortest walking distance to a destination. On-street parking is intended for short-term parking, typically between 1-2 hours, and should encourage turnover throughout the day to generate economic activity. It is a critical resource for retailers. The convenience of on-street parking closest to retail should translate into a higher cost for patrons wishing to use them. It is recommended that the on-street parking fee structure of $1.25 per hour be maintained within the Beach District as well as extended to the core of the Downtown District. It is also recommended that an on-street parking fee of $0.75 per hour be implemented for on-street parking spaces outside of the core of the Downtown District. The streets recommended for implementation of an on-street parking fee include: Atlantic Avenue between NW 5th Avenue and Marina Way SE 1st Street between Swinton Avenue and SE 6th Avenue NE 1st Street between Swinton Avenue and NE 6th Avenue NE 2nd Street between Swinton Avenue and NE 4th Avenue NE/SE 1st Avenue between SE 1st Street and NE 2nd Street NE/SE 2nd Avenue between SE 1st Street and NE 2nd Street SE 3rd Avenue between NE 2nd Street and NE 3rd Street NE 4th Avenue between SE 1st Street and NE 2nd Street The recommended on-street parking fee is structured as follows: the first twenty minutes of parking is provided for free, with a fee charged of $1.25 per hour after the first 20 minutes with a maximum stay allowed of two hours. This will encourage turnover of spaces within the downtown core and encourage long-term parking in the off-street facilities. The recommended hours of enforcement for the parking fee are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Mondays through Thursdays and between 10 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. No fee is recommended at these locations on Sundays. Off-Street Parking Program Off-street parking is designed to accommodate patrons who wish to park for longer hours – typically 4 hours or more – and do not want to pay a higher premium for parking on-street. There are several pricing mechanisms that can be used to encourage long-term parking within the off-street facilities while not causing excessive financial burden. Some of the off-street pricing options implemented by other communities are described below. Option 1 – Lower Hourly Rate than On-street Parking The first option includes charging an hourly rate that is less than the rate charged for on-street parking. This option might only be beneficial if the off-street parking rate is significantly lower than the on-street parking rate to attract longer term patrons. Option 2 – Same Hourly Rate with a Cap A second option includes charging the same hourly rate as charged for on- street parking; however, the total daily fee is capped at a maximum rate such that parking in the off-street facility would cost less over a 6-8 hour period than if the patron had parked in an on-street metered space. For example, the city could cap the daily maximum fee charged in off-street parking lots at $5.00, which would represent a discount of $5.00 from parking in an on-street meter for the same amount of time. This option does not offer the most incentive to entice short-term parkers away from the on-street meters into an off-street parking facility. APPENDIX B 74 |Page Option 3 – Same Hourly Rate with a Discount for the First 1 or 2 hours The third option is similar to Option 2; however, there will be no charge for parking for the first 30 minutes or an hour and then the same rate of on- street parking with a cap on the daily maximum will apply. This option would reduce the effective parking rate to an amount lower than that charged for on-street parking, thereby providing an incentive to the patrons who wish to park for a longer amount of time to park in the off- street parking facilities. It is recommended that the City implement paid parking at off-street parking facilities that are closest to the downtown core at a rate lower than off-street parking. The parking facilities that are located further out from the core can be charged at a lower fee to attract longer term patrons and employees. The pricing for the parking garages can be structured in a manner that is attractive for employees and longer term patrons; this will balance parking utilization in the downtown as well as generate revenue to maintain parking facilities within the study area. It is also recommended that revenue control systems, such as multi-pay stations, be installed in each of these parking facilities. The amount charged should be $1.00 per hour in surface lots within the downtown district and $0.75 outside of the downtown district with a maximum of $5.00 per stay. This maximum parking fee would be consistent with the flat fee currently charged at the parking garages in Delray Beach. The recommended off-street parking fee structure for off-street parking includes charging a fee of $1.00 per hour with a maximum daily limit of $5.00 with the first hour provided for free. The facilities recommended for charging include: Veterans Lot Gladiola Lot Village Lot Old City Lot Railroad Lot Old School Square Garage Robert Federspiel Garage The facilities outside the core are recommended for off-street parking fee of $0.75 per hour with a maximum daily limit of $5.00 with the first hour provided for free. This will provide savings for patrons parking for less than 6 hours but will remain the same as other off-street parking facilities for patrons parking for more than 6 hours. The facilities outside the core recommended for charging include: Cason Cottage Lot Tennis Center Lot Monterey Lot The recommended hours of enforcement for the parking fee are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Mondays through Thursdays and between 10 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. No fee is recommended at these locations on Sundays. It should be noted that the recommended pricing structure is not rigid and should be observed and monitored over time after implementation to ensure that it is creating the desired behavior amongst patrons. The fee for the on-street and off-street facilities can be adjusted accordingly to promote short-term parking in the on-street facilities and longer-term parking in the off-street facilities. Another option for the City to consider could also include providing free parking for employees in the Old School Square Garage for the first few years in order to increase usage of the parking garage. Once the patrons are comfortable using the facilities and desired behavior is achieved then an appropriate parking fee can be implemented. APPENDIX B 75 |Page Revenue Hour Projections Tables 11-6, 11-7, and 11-8 summarize the number of parking spaces located in these parking facilities and the revenue hours based on the recommended hours of enforcement on weekdays (Mondays – Thursdays), Fridays and Saturdays. The revenue hours are calculated by multiplying the total number of spaces in each facility by the utilization during each time period.

The utilization during certain time periods of the following facilities was determined through the study process and is summarized in Chapter 3. The utilization for the remainder of the time periods at these facilities and at the remainder of the facilities at which no data was collected was extrapolated from the data collected during the study hours at the representative facilities. Other assumptions that were used in the generation of revenue hour estimates include: Turnover occurs within spaces, allowing certain percentages of patrons during each time period to qualify for either 20-minute free parking or one-hour free parking, depending upon the facility.

Total annual weekly revenue of approximately $29,000 is anticipated from the fee implemented within the downtown district. Table 11-13 summarizes the annual revenue projections from the recommended fee strategy. Projected annual revenue of approximately $1.2 million is anticipated from the implementation of the recommended fee strategy. It should be noted however, that these estimates are based on current utilization factors of existing off-street surface lots and parking garages. The study does not include assumptions for potential changes in demand resulting from the introduction of a parking fee or shifts in demand between facilities that may result from the introduction of parking fees. These figures represent revenue within the downtown core and do not include revenue currently collected within the Beach District.

This is particularly true when retrofitting an existing parking lot or garage with new revenue control equipment. For parking garages, the owner also needs to evaluate whether they prefer to operate a parking facility with or without a cashier on site. Cashierless operations require a higher degree of enforcement. Some facilities, particularly surface parking lots, are designed with numerous entry and exit points that require one of three potential solutions: Installing access control equipment at all lanes Closure of some lanes to limit ingress/egress and limit the amount of access control equipment to be installed. Installation of pay stations or multi-use meters such as Pay-and- Display meters in strategic, highly visible locations to facilitate patrons access for payment. For the surface lots within the City, it is recommended that multi-space pay stations (Pay-and-Display meters) be installed. The number of pay stations is determined by a combination of the number of parking spaces within the lot and the layout of the lot. A multi-space pay station in a parking lot can serve up to 36 parking spaces, if placed appropriately. For the on-street parking spaces, it is recommended that a combination of multi-space meters and single space meters be installed based on the block length and the number of spaces per block. Each multi-space pay station can serve up to 12 on-street parking spaces, if they are located within the same block and on the same side of the street. Tables 11-14 and 11-15 shows the approximate number of pay stations and IPS meters required to serve the on-street spaces and the existing surface lots, respectively. It should be noted that the equipment requirements are estimates only; additional on-field evaluations will need to be performed to determine the exact number and type of equipment. Table 11-14 – Estimated Number of Pay Stations at On-street Parking Table 11-15 – Estimated Number of Pay Stations at Surface Lots Table 11-16 shows an estimate of the total cost of providing the surface lot and on-street parking revenue control equipment. A total of approximately $752,000 is anticipated for initial equipment purchase and installation.

This estimate is based on providing equipment for two entry/exit lanes in the Old School Square garage and one entry/exit lane for the Robert Federspiel garage. It is anticipated that there will be some economies of scale with the communication, installation and server fee with the two garages.

Potential for Phased Implementation The revenues and costs presented in this section include total anticipated costs for implementation of this project in current dollars. The City may want to consider a phased implementation strategy that implements paid parking at City parking facilities in two or more stages. This approach can help spread out the initial capital investment costs over a longer period of time, allowing for initial capital costs for the first phase to be recovered or mostly recovered prior to investing in subsequent phases of implementation. For example, given that the highest rate of utilization occurs within the downtown “core” area east of Swinton Avenue between SE 1st Street and NE 1st Street, it may be desired to implement the first phase of paid parking within this area and follow with implementation in the remaining areas of the Downtown District. An added benefit of this approach is that a portion of the program is implemented and then reviewed and evaluated on a smaller scale prior to full implementation, which can allow for adjustments to the program to be made, if needed. One potential negative side effect is that if some areas still provide fee- free parking in close proximity to areas with paid parking, significant shifts in parking patterns will occur that can overburden the fee-free parking areas and also reduce the revenues collected in the paid parking areas from the projected amounts. APPENDIX B 82 |Page Validation Programs Charging for parking is typically met with resistance from the local community. However, the resistance is decreased over time once the community experiences the benefits of parking management through efficient parking, increased investment in the local community and higher quality infrastructure that is afforded by parking revenues. Many communities use parking revenues to invest in infrastructure improvements downtown districts through sidewalk improvements, streetscaping, and other aesthetic improvements. In order to reduce the financial burden on local residents and merchants who have contributed to the construction of parking facilities through property taxes, communities typically use validation programs to offer discounted parking rates to downtown businesses and local residents. Businesses can use these discounted parking permits to offer free or affordable parking to their employees. The types of validation programs available today provide rigorous standards and are fairly difficult to violate, however, should the city decide to implement a validation program it is imperative to develop strict accounting controls prior to the implementation. Validation programs are available in a variety of methods; such as offering a dollar value discount; a percentage discount of the total fee; totally free parking, etc. These validations are typically “sold” to the businesses so that the city does not lose parking revenue. However, there may be times that the city decides to offer incentives to patrons to park at reduced or at no costs during certain events, times of day, or days of the week. The City of Boulder, Colorado recently implemented a comprehensive validation program. The image below is a part of their advertising program that shows which businesses are participating in the program. This advertising becomes a cooperative program between the City and the participating businesses, potentially with shared costs of advertising. The downtown San Jose Parking Validation program offers patrons up to two hours of free parking at designated lots and garages when visiting a participating retailer, restaurant, bar or nightclub. Almost all downtown retail merchants and restaurants participate in the Parking Validation program, unless they have their own parking facilities. Business for Downtown Hartford (BFDH), CT has a downtown validation program where members are able to purchase $1.00 coupons for parking in books of $20 or $50. Each book will have a $1.00 administrative fee charged with non- members paying a $2.50 administrative fee. Coupons can be used at any time the participating lots are open with time or event constraints. Preprinted coupon books offer an effective validation program but require stringent inventory for unsold books and strict audit procedures of all used validation coupon to ensure that all coupons are valid and sold by the City. The City must evaluate the benefits of traditional parking validation programs (which may benefit only a handful of merchants) compared a more equitable (and less prone to abuse) “first hour free” type program. A first hour free program may actually cost the parking system more, but it gives the downtown a very positive message to sell about parking and makes visiting downtown more appealing to those who aren’t accustomed to visiting downtown. Other cities have found that once people are attracted to downtown, they get caught up in the experience and the overall parking length of stay increases. In Boise, ID, the average parking length of stay went from 2.11 hours to 3.56 hours. The first hour free was implemented in conjunction with a back-end rate adjustment to minimize revenue losses. Recommendation: For the City of Delray Beach, it is recommended that a monthly or annual parking permit program be implemented to provide discounted parking rates for downtown merchants and local residents. Table 11-18 shows the fee structure recommended for the permit programs. These rates are consistent with rates charged in other Florida communities. Table 11-18 – Proposed Validation Programs for the City User Group Monthly Permit Annual Permit Downtown Merchant $30 plus tax (hang tag) $150 plus tax (permanent decal or permit sticker) Employee Permit $25 plus tax (hang tag) - City Resident -$120 plus tax (permanent decal or permit sticker) Visitor/Seasonal Resident Permit $25 plus tax (hang tag) - APPENDIX B 83 |Page CHAPTER 12 – PAYMENT-IN-LIEU PROGRAM One of the more widely implemented parking management strategies is the payment-in-lieu of on-site parking option. Under this strategy, developers have the option to pay a fee into a municipal parking trust fund in lieu of providing the required off-street parking spaces for the development. The revenue is used to provide centralized public parking lots or structures to replace the private parking spaces the developers would otherwise have to provide. Some cities also use these funds for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements to support the centralized parking or business district. Many cities waive off-street parking requirements for developments in and around downtowns and urban infill areas to encourage redevelopment. Though supportive of redevelopment, these actions may contribute to both real and perceived parking problems. The potential danger in not addressing an existing parking deficit is that it could hinder future redevelopment aspirations of the City. The payment-in-lieu program provides the City with a revenue source to ensure that public parking is available to support redevelopment. Minimum parking requirements often serve as impediments to new development and redevelopment. In-lieu fees provide developers with an alternative to providing all or part of the required parking spaces on- site. Many cities have successfully implemented in-lieu programs to improve downtown vitality and economic viability. A case study of approximately 25 cities in the United States and 22 cities outside of the United States (Canada, Europe and South Africa) and lessons learned from their experiences with payment-in- lieu programs has been discussed in Donald Shoup’s “The High Cost of Free Parking”(2005, Planners Press, American Planning Association; Chapter 9). Many cities within Florida have also implemented payment-in-lieu systems with varying levels of success including Orlando, Clearwater, Hollywood, Miami, Miami Beach, and West Palm Beach. This system is also very prevalent in communities in the state of California, which have led the way with the implementation of in-lieu fees. The in-lieu fee is the product of the number of parking spaces required on-site but not provided and the cost of providing parking within the district in which the fee is assessed. In-lieu fees can be established as a flat rate per parking space or a case- by-case assessment of each development. For larger communities, the fee may be graduated based on the area’s land values and whether or not parking can be accommodated though surface parking lots or garages. Most communities use flat fees which are much easier to administer. Communities typically reevaluate the in-lieu fee periodically to adjust for inflation and construction costs. Some cities mandate participation in the payment-in-lieu program while most cities offer developers the choice of whether to provide parking or pay the fee. The option of whether to mandate or offer the choice to developers depends on the unique circumstances and vision within each community. In order to make paying a fee more attractive to developers than providing parking on site, it must save them money. On the other hand, the fee must be high enough to finance development of centralized parking facilities or to make enough transit or non-motorized mode improvements to reduce parking demand. Developers may be concerned that the lack of on-site parking will make their development less attractive, especially if there is not much public parking available, or it is not convenient to the site. If developers are allowed to choose between providing parking on-site and paying the fee, those who most value on-site parking will build it, and those who do not will not be forced to. Another concern is that the parking may not be built where or when the developer would like it. Payment-in-lieu is more effective when there is sufficient concurrent development in a defined area to generate the funding to construct municipal parking structures or when there is sufficient excess parking capacity in existing public lots to absorb the demand from new developments until additional parking can be built. Funds generated by a payment-in-lieu program are generally deposited into a parking trust fund account specifically established to provide parking and related improvements within a specific parking district. The program is managed by a variety of entities ranging from specific parking authorities to a department point person that oversees the payment- in-lieu program. Fees collected from private developments are used by the cities for the purpose of paying the cost of construction or reconstruction of parking spaces or other transportation related improvements. City of Delray Beach Payment-in-Lieu Program The City administers a payment in-lieu of parking program within the Central Business District (CBD), CBD-RC, and OSSHAD zoning districts. The program is only allowed for properties that are considered infill development where it is determined by the City Commission that it is impossible to provide the required number of on-site parking. The in-lieu fee option is not available in the event of a change in use or addition of floor space if either occurs within two years of the granting of the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.). The fee in-lieu option is available for up to two years after the date of the granting of the C.O. The amount of the in-lieu fee is determined based on the district within which a particular development is located. The City’s program is administered in four payment-in-lieu districts. The fee is calculated based on the land values, type of parking facility and the cost of construction/maintenance of such facilities. The City completed an evaluation of the construction costs for new garages and surface lots in 2006 and updated the fees for the four parking districts. The fee range is $4,000 to $18,200 based on the land values within each of the districts. Table 12-1 below shows the current in-lieu fees. Many Cities have successfully implemented in-lieu programs to improve downtown vitality and economic viability. Funds generated by the payment-in-lieu program are generally deposited into a parking trust fund account specifically established to provide parking and related transportation improvements within a specific district. Most communities reevaluate their in-lieu fee periodically to adjust for inflation and construction costs. APPENDIX B 84 |Page Table 12-1 – Current In-Lieu Fees Charged in Delray Beach Area Description Current in- lieu Fees Area 1 Properties zoned CBD and east of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) $18,200 Area 2 West of the ICW zoned CBD or CBD-RC excluding parcels located in the OSSHAD and Pineapple Grove Main Street $15,600 Area 3 Properties located in the Pineapple Grove Main Street and OSSHAD, excluding block 69 $7,800 Area 4 Properties located in the West Atlantic Neighborhood zoned CBD $4,000 The in-lieu fee is required to be paid in full or installments upon issuance of a building permit. The in-lieu fee is authorized through an agreement which is a restrictive covenant that binds the successor of the property. All proceeds from the payment-in-lieu program are required to be used for parking purposes only. As part of participating in the in-lieu fee program, the applicant must construct additional on-street parking, where adequate right-of-way exists adjacent to the subject property. The applicant is credited up to one-half space for each parking space developed within the public right-of-way. In addition to the payment-in-lieu option, the City’s code contains a provision for a public parking fee within other areas of the City. When parking requirements are applied to new development, in-fill development, which has been vacant for five years or longer, from a change of use, or adding floor space to an existing building, the City Commission may approve the payment of a fee towards the construction of a public parking structure in-lieu of providing such required parking on- site. This option cannot be utilized in conjunction with the in-lieu fee provisions. The City allows private developments within 600 feet of a programmed public parking facility (excluding downtown) to contribute towards the construction of the parking facility instead of providing all of the required parking on-site. The cost per space is based upon the location of the property for which the public parking fee is being sought. The public parking fee is limited to no more than 25 percent of the total required parking of a development not to exceed 10 percent of the total number of parking spaces associated with the programmed public parking facility. Other in-lieu Programs City of Orlando The City of Orlando requires developers to pay fees in lieu of the first required space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, and allows developers to choose whether to pay fees or supply the parking for the rest. The City also collects parking bonus funds that are used for transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The amount of payment to the trust fund is determined by the average cost to the City for the construction of a parking space multiplied by the total number of spaces. The average total cost is determined by the Director of Public Works. The costs include actual costs and fees for design, legal engineering, actual construction, inspection, finance and planning, and may include land costs. The average total cost is revised annually by resolution of the City Council. City of Hollywood The City of Hollywood implements a payment-in-lieu of parking system within the CRA. A portion of the parking requirement may be fulfilled by payment of the fee in areas where all of the required parking is often difficult to accommodate on site. However, the payment-in-lieu cannot be substituted for on-site parking which results in a parking ratio of less than one parking space per unit in a new residential development or 0.5 spaces per hotel unit in a hotel development. For new construction and additions, where the addition exceeds the area of the existing building, a one-time payment of $5,000 per space is collected at the time of building permit. For alteration or rehabilitation of an existing structure resulting in an increased parking demand, the developer is allowed a one-time payment of $5,000 per space or a yearly payment in the amount of 5% of the $5,000 fee per space until the use exists. The funds generated by the program are deposited in a city account specifically established to provide parking and related improvements in the vicinity of the subject property. City of Miami The City of Miami implements a payment-in-lieu of parking system within certain districts including the Coconut Grove Business District and the Design District. Each district maintains its own improvement trust fund. The trust fund is maintained and administered by the Department of Off- Street Parking. The funds are used to facilitate public off-street parking, infrastructure improvements and maintenance, and marketing to serve the area. The fee per parking space is approximately $5,400 in the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District and $12,000 in the Design District. A permanent certificate of waiver is issued upon payment. The permanent certificate of waiver runs with the land, and may be leased to another owner within district. The fee may also be paid in installments over a self- amortizing period of 15 years. In addition, a rental fee-in-lieu program is allowed for supplemental off-street parking for restaurants at the rate of $600 per parking space, per year, to be paid on a monthly basis in the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District and $800 in the Design District. City of Miami Beach The City of Miami Beach allows payment into the City’s payment-in-lieu system to satisfy a portion of the required parking spaces for a development. The payment-in-lieu program is allowed only within certain districts. For new construction, the fee consists of a one-time payment at the time of issuance of a building permit of $35,000 per parking space. For existing structures and outdoor cafes, a yearly payment in the amount of three percent of the total payment ($35,000) is required to be paid as long as the use exists. The amount of payment may vary from year to year based on the City’s annual evaluation of payment-in-lieu fee. Property owners on the installment plan have the option of paying a one-time redemption payment at any time for the full amount. However, the amount is based upon the latest determination made during the annual evaluation/inflation adjustment at the time of the redemption payment rather than upon the amount which would have been due if the fee had been paid at the time of building permit. For new construction, the fee is collected in full at the time of application for the building permit. The fee is refunded to the property owner in the event construction does not commence prior to expiration of the building permit. For developments under the payment plan, the first fee payment is collected prior to the issuance of a building permit and is applied at the time the certificate of use is issued and collected on June 1 during the subsequent years. APPENDIX B 85 |Page City of Buenaventura, CA The City of Buenaventura, CA recently implemented a payment-in-lieu program that offers an in-lieu fee of $24,000 per space based on replacement costs of parking facilities. The fee is adjusted annually based upon the rate of inflation. Due to the economic downturn that occurred immediately after the implementation of the in-lieu program, the results of this program are not fully realized. Payment-In-Lieu Fee Summary The payment-in-lieu fees vary greatly within each municipality depending on the local conditions, specific land values and existing and future parking demand. Table 12-2 compares the in-lieu fees required in each municipality reviewed. Table 12-2 – Approximate In-Lieu Fee per Space in Florida Cities City In-Lieu Fee Delray Beach, FL $4,000 - $18,200 Hollywood, FL $5,000 Miami, FL $5,000 - $12,000 Miami Beach, FL $35,000 Orlando, FL $9,800 Buenaventura, CA $24,000 Benefits of In-lieu Fees There are many benefits to the implementation of payment-in-lieu programs for both cities and developers. The benefits include: In-lieu fees give developers an alternative to meeting the parking requirements on sites where providing all the required parking spaces would be difficult or extremely expensive. Promotes shared parking since customers can park once and visit multiple locations thus reducing multiple shorter trips within a downtown or redevelopment area. Through consolidation of parking in public parking spaces, it allows for more efficient use of buildable space on individual parcels within downtowns and redevelopment areas. Allows cities to build public parking lots and structures where they have the lowest impact on vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Less on-site parking allows continuous storefronts. Increases economies of scale of providing parking. Allows adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Disadvantages of In-Lieu Fees The potential disadvantages of in-lieu fee programs from the perspective of developers include: The lack of on-site, owner-controlled parking may reduce a development's attractiveness to tenants and customers. Cities may not construct and operate parking facilities as efficiently as the private sector. Most communities do not guarantee when or where the parking spaces will be provided. In-lieu fees will reduce the parking supply if cities provide fewer than one public parking space for each in-lieu fee paid. Recommendations for the City’s Payment-in-Lieu Fee The main purpose of payment in-lieu of parking programs is to promote redevelopment by reducing the parking required on-site and instead provide centralized public parking. Currently, the payment in-lieu of parking option is only available for infill developments on the basis of hardship.It is recommended that the program be expanded to provide property owners the option to voluntarily participate in the in-lieu program, whether or not hardship exists. This will enable developments to participate in the shared parking pool within downtown and further enable the City’s vision of a park-once downtown. Even though the cost of the in-lieu fee is lower than the actual cost of providing parking, the economies of scale in providing larger parking facilities and the sharing of spaces will offset the difference in cost. The removal of the hardship clause will encourage additional participation in the payment-in-lieu program. This can be especially beneficial within the West Atlantic Neighborhood where the CRA and City would like to promote redevelopment. Along with the modification, the City could set a maximum limit (25 – 30%) for the payment-in-lieu parking spaces to ensure that a minimum amount of parking is provided on-site. APPENDIX B 86 |Page CHAPTER 13 – MECHANICAL PARKING As densities increase in downtown areas and available land for parking decreases, many municipalities are searching for viable alternatives to the conventional design, bid, build program for multi-level parking garages. These traditional garages include internal or external ramping systems and allow patrons to cruise throughout the garage in order to find an appropriate parking space. An alternative solution that is becoming more commonplace is mechanical/robotic parking where a patron drives into the parking garage and exits their vehicle on the first floor leaving the car to be parked at one of the upper levels. There are only a few of these garages currently in operation within the United States. In most cases, an attendant will pull the car onto an elevator or sled that will then transport the car to a specific floor and space for storage. Once the patron returns and submits their ticket, the attendant will then retrieve the vehicle via the same method and deliver the vehicle to the patron. The whole process typically takes approximately one to two minutes to retrieve the vehicle. The patron then pays the parking fee and drives off the premises. Mechanical/Robotic garages can be installed/constructed in a smaller footprint than conventional garages and can typically park and retrieve vehicles in the same approximate time that a patron can park their own vehicle. One of the main drawbacks to this system is that the owner/operator requires the patron to trust the operator to park their vehicle. Many owners do not trust operators, and even valet operators, enough to turn over their vehicles and walk away. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of the mechanical and conventional parking garages are listed below. Advantages: Increased number of cars for a given volume [Note: this can be misleading, twice the cars in the same volume does not mean twice the cars in the same flat plate area. Because mechanical parking facilities have limited drive aisles and are spaced closer, they take up less volume than a conventional parking lot with the same footprint.] Less walking within the garage More secure for cars and users Suitable for small sites Does not require vertical circulation, i.e. ramps Becomes viable alternative when ramp access efficiency is greater than 375 sf/space Works well with a valet situation such as hotel/residential Can reduce amount of excavation for underground structures Limited ventilation requirements (no running engines) Disadvantages: Construction cost about 1.5-2.0 times that of conventional parking garage based upon the cost per square foot Operating cost 50% higher than non-cashiered, ramp access garage Service rate of 50-100 vph per entry/exit (not suitable for high volume arrival and departure) Access design and queuing requirements may be cumbersome Patron must wait for car to be retrieved. This could take several minutes depending upon configuration and location of vehicle. APPENDIX B 87 |Page Pros/Cons of Mechanical vs. Conventional Garages The following sections include a comparison of conventional garages versus mechanical/robotic garages. Table 13-1 is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the mechanical and conventional parking garages in a tabular format. Construction Cost The construction cost for conventional garages is typically $50-$70 per sq. ft. depending on structural system, layout, and site considerations inclusive of foundations, architectural treatments, or retaining walls. The cost for mechanical garages is typically 90-$100 per sq. ft. for the mechanical garage only not including foundations, architectural treatments, or retaining walls. Cost per Parking Space Price per parking space in conventional garages depends largely on garage efficiency, but can range from $15,000 per space on the lower end for an efficient layout on a site with little to no architectural treatments to $30,000 per space on the higher end. In mechanical garages the efficient use of space tends to balance out cost per square foot. Generally, the cost for mechanical garages falls in a range between $25,000 to $35,000 per space depending on site conditions and architectural treatments. Efficiency Conventional Garages Varies widely and is directly dependent upon site geometry and layout constraints. A very efficient layout will yield a parking efficiency of 300 - 310 sf/space. It is more typical for the parking efficiency to range between 320 - 350 sf/space, and sometimes a more restricted site may result in an efficiency or as poor as 400 sf/space. Long span construction for better internal traffic flow usually results in the use of deep beams, which causes the typical floor to floor height to be 10' to 12'. Mechanical Garages Usually in the 220 to 240 sf/space range inclusive of common areas. The elimination of ramps allows use of more efficient layout in tighter sites. There is no need for door opening space; therefore, the individual parking space can be narrower. Eliminating the need for internal navigation allows short span construction and a decrease of floor to floor height. An 8'-6" floor to floor with a 10" structure will accommodate 98% of vehicles (including SUVs) Security Conventional Garages The inclusion of security issues depends on design, layout, lighting, and presence of CCTV within garage. Generally, the design must try to reduce the number of hiding spaces that can be perceived as security threats. Statistically, parking decks are not less safe than other areas. Cars are accessible to anyone and are subject to be vandalism. Mechanical Garages The internal areas where vehicles are stored are not accessible to the public. Therefore, there is a perception that personal safety is better as you do not have to walk to your car in the facility. Vehicles are not accessible inside the facility. Therefore the opportunity for vandalism is reduced greatly. Queuing Conventional Garages Queuing is dependent upon the layout and number of entrances/exits. The conventional garage can be designed to handle high volume arrival and departure traffic with moderate impact to overall cost. The conventional garage is good for high turnover or infrequent use areas. Mechanical Garages Queuing in a mechanical garage depends upon space availability for increasing the number of entry/exit modules. The typical service rate is around 50 vph per entry/exit. Mechanical garages are not suitable for high volume arrival and departure traffic, but can work well with familiar users and low volumes such as residences and hotels (valet operations). Other Construction Issues Conventional Garages Lighting and HVAC systems required inside structure. Fire exits, pedestrian elevators, signage on each level APPENDIX B 88 |Page Construction/expansion can be complicated Mechanical Garages Minimal requirement for HVAC and lighting system No need for fire exits, pedestrian elevators, signage above/below street level Use of bolted structural steel construction speeds construction and expansion of garage Maintenance Conventional Garages Lighting, striping, and structural maintenance must all be budgeted. Based on available data, approximate annual budget for maintenance of the garage structural and waterproofing system is $50-$70 per space per year. Addition of daily operation costs such as lighting, cleaning, and personnel will add to this cost. There are a large number of capable firms specializing in parking deck maintenance and repairs. Standard methods of repairs available. Mechanical Garages Replacement and upkeep of mechanical parts must be budgeted. Annual budget for maintenance of the garage is estimated to be up to $150 per space per year. Generally, dedicated maintenance staff is not required. Since this system is relatively new, with little data available, it is recommended that this estimate be reviewed in more detail when more data is available. Since garage type is new in the US, maintenance must often be done through the manufacturer. However, overall garage reliability is quoted to be in the 99% range. Operations Conventional Garages Multiple employees often needed for security, cashier booths, and maintenance. Requires staff for cleaning and upkeep of parking area. Mechanical Garages One or two on-site employees are needed to handle all security and customer service issues. Vehicular storage area cleaned automatically by high pressure water jets. Mixed Use Conventional Garages Conventional garages are able to accommodate building column grids for parking use, but with the possibility of a loss of efficiency and level of service. Mechanical Garages Mechanical garages are preferable as stand-alone structure above or below grade not tied to the building column grid. Lighting Conventional Garages Lighting systems are required to illuminate interior of conventional garages therefore there is a maintenance cost associated with lighting. Long lasting fixtures such as LED's help reduce maintenance and energy costs. Mechanical Garages No interior lighting required except emergency/task lighting for maintenance. Other Issues Conventional Garages Vehicles must drive inside the structure. Fumes must be vented naturally or mechanically. Drivers must navigate from car to elevator/exit on foot which can be inconvenient if parking is not available nearby. Handicap spaces must be incorporated to aid disabled drivers. Mechanical ventilation and fire protection is not required for open parking structures, but is required for below ground or enclosed structures. Mechanical Garages Essentially emission and noise free due to automatic handling of cars (environmentally friendly). Vehicle owners must be comfortable with vehicle being stored by use of mechanical "robots". No walking is required between cars and the point of destination. Accommodation of large cars/SUVs must be considered in American garages. No mechanical ventilation or fire protection required. Locations Considerations Conventional Garages Areas where land cost is relatively low in relation to parking costs Flexibility allows use in most any situation and can be cost competitive in most areas. Medium to high turnover areas, or areas with frequent visitors who are unfamiliar with mechanical parking Mechanical Garages High density urban areas where the price of land is at a premium. Underground parking situations where excavation must be minimized. Areas of low turnover or valet parking such as residences and hotels APPENDIX B 89 |Page Table 13-1 – Pros/Cons of Mechanical Garages vs. Conventional Garages ISSUE CONVENTIONAL GARAGES MECHANICAL GARAGES Construction Cost $50-$70 per sq. ft. depending on structural system, layout, and site considerations inclusive of foundations, architectural treatments, or retaining walls. On the order of $90-$100 per sq. ft. for the mechanical garage only not including foundations, architectural treatments, or retaining walls. Cost per Stall Price per parking stall depends largely on garage efficiency, but can range from $15,000 per stall on the lower end for an efficient layout on a site with little to no architectural treatments to $30,000 per stall on the higher end. Efficient use of space tends to balance out cost per square foot. Generally between $25,000 to $35,000 per stall depending on site conditions and architectural treatments.

Because Public Works Department already managed the streets, this function was located within the Public Works department. When the need for an enforcement function was identified, this was assigned to the Police Department. Over time, off-street lots and parking structures were added. The management of these resources was placed under the Facilities Management Division, because they manage the municipal other real estate assets and facilities. Once revenue was being generated from parking facilities an audit/accounting function was established to ensure accountability over the revenues and expenses. This function was placed under the Finance Division. CHAPTER 14 – PARKING ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS Many municipal parking programs have evolved over time into organizational structures that are termed “horizontally-integrated” – where the various parking system components are spread among multiple departments. The following example illustrates how municipal parking programs evolved over time. This results in a very fragmented structure; where, each department manages only one aspect of the parking system, such as on-street parking, enforcement or parking structures. Under such a structure, no single department has the responsibility, or the perspective, to manage all the interrelated components as one system. This results in a scenario where parking is everyone’s part-time job, but no one’s full-time job. To address the issue associated with this horizontally integrated model, several parking organization models have emerged to better manage a community’s various parking functions. Each of these models has its own strengths and weakness depending on several factors including the parking system’s size, degree of development, programs offered, political landscape, community goals, etc. This chapter discusses the different parking organization models that are implemented within the country and the advantages/disadvantages of each model. The four parking organizational models that are discussed in this chapter include: A Consolidated (“vertically-integrated”) City Department model The Parking Authority model The “Contract” or Downtown Association model The Parking District model There are several variations and hybrids of these models, but these are the four primary alternatives. There is a common factor that contributes to the success of these four models – they all address the major problem associated with the “horizontally-integrated model”. The following summary of parking system organizational models and parking management best practices are excerpts from the book “Making Business Districts Work” published by the International Downtown Association1. Successful Parking Organizational Models The following sections describe each of the four parking system organizational models and include an example of a specific program within the U.S. based on that model. A Consolidated City Department Model A consolidated or “vertically-integrated” city department model is essentially a typical city department led by a department head and varying assortment of support staff. The defining characteristic of this model is that the department head has complete responsibility for the management of all parking related program elements; the primary elements of these being off-street parking facilities, on-street parking resources, and parking enforcement. Other related aspects that can become part of this department’s responsibility include: Transportation (transit, shuttle programs, park-n-ride programs, etc.) Transportation demand management Parking system branding and marketing Implementation of new technologies Long-term parking facility maintenance programs Capital program development (CIP Programs, Planning) 1 The parking chapter of “Making Business Districts Work” was authored by L. Dennis Burns. Mr. Burns is currently a member of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Parking ordinance and zoning regulations Parking permit programs Community education/outreach Interface with downtown development/economic development The City of Fort Collins, CO, has a consolidated parking management program that incorporates off-street parking, on-street parking and parking enforcement. The City’s Parking Manager also has developed a program to promote effective coordination and collaboration with owners of private parking to better support evening restaurant parking demands and special events. The City recently embarked on a parking technology assessment to identify technology options that would link on- street/enforcement systems with the next generation of off-street parking equipment and potentially new on-street multi-space meters. This type of creative and integrated thinking is more common in systems with a vertically integrated organizational structure. Another impressive municipal parking system can be found in Rochester, MN (population of approximately 90,000). Rochester’s parking program takes the vertical integration model one step further and integrates not only on-street, off-street and parking enforcement, but also transit and transportation alternatives programs. The Parking Authority Model Parking authorities are typically self-supporting entities that generate operating revenues to cover the debt obligations, operating expenses, and additional capital improvements. The defining characteristics of the Parking Authority model are: It has a defined mission and vision It is governed by a detailed management agreement Often has bonding capability Most often has responsibility for all aspects of parking operations (off- street, on-street and enforcement) It is typically headed by a President or Executive Director (tend to attract the highest caliber parking management personnel) The Executive Director reports to a Board (typically 7 – 15 members) The Board is comprised of invested downtown stakeholders, including o Department heads from City o Property Owners/Developers o Downtown Association President APPENDIX B 92 |Page o Chamber of Commerce representative o Large Downtown Employers Parking Authorities typically operate with a small staff and engage a private parking operator to manage day-to-day operations. One advantage of the Parking Authority model, especially in a municipal setting, is that it puts all the major stakeholders at the same table and eliminates the common sniping among constituents. In Toledo, OH, the Downtown Toledo Parking Authority (DTPA) dramatically transformed the operations in its three public facilities to such an extent that all the other private parking operations were forced to follow suit to adopt standards comparable to those of public parking facilities. Now virtually all downtown parking facilities have attendants in new uniforms, customer service training for front-line staff, uniformly painted parking structure interiors, and customer friendly parking technologies and programs – all following the DTPA’s lead. The “Contract” or Downtown Association Model In several communities across the United States, downtown Business Improvement Districts or Downtown Associations are increasingly taking operational responsibility for parking. In some cases, it is because the City does not own public parking assets and there was a need for coordination and a “management overlay” of the private assets available to create a parking system for the benefit of the visitors and tourists. In other cases, the business owners and downtown association leaders were frustrated by what they perceived to be an ineffectively run municipal parking program. The existing parking program was not viewed as being responsive to the downtown businesses and their customers. The downtown association successfully lobbied the municipal governments to let them manage the program and the parking assets. In most of these cases the municipal parking program was either badly fragmented among several disconnected departments (horizontally integrated) and/or there was no real parking management expertise. Similar to the Parking Authority model, the “Contract” or “Downtown Association Model” is governed by a well defined “operating agreement” that sets specific expectations and limits on the use of parking assets. These contracts or agreements must typically be reauthorized every 3 – 5 years based on whether the defined contract goals were met. If reauthorized, it is not uncommon for new goals and program objectives to be set for the next contract period. In Boise, ID, the off-street parking program is managed by the Capital City Development Corporation – the Urban Renewal Agency. Through the aggressive use of Tax Increment Financing combined with a strategy of leading other desired development with parking infrastructure investment, Boise has become a national model of downtown resurgence. Tempe, AZ, is a unique case study of a downtown where the City owned virtually no off-street parking assets. In Tempe, the need for a coordinated parking system to provide a more visitor friendly experience drove the downtown organization – Downtown Tempe Community, Inc. (DTC) to create what amounted to a “parking management overlay” program. Working with the owners of the off-street parking assets, they created a parking system management plan. Through creative signage, a common parking validation program and extensive marketing, the system has become a well managed and comprehensive parking program. DTC does not own any of the parking assets; in essence, it acts as a private parking management firm. It manages all parking staff and programs and returns all profits to the facility owners while charging a modest management fee for their services. DTC also manages the City’s on-street parking resources and reinvests on-street parking revenues back into the downtown. The Parking District Model The Parking District Model is slightly different from the other models defined above, but as mentioned earlier, the one common element of all these successful models is the central goal of a creating a “comprehensive parking management function” under the control of one organization (“vertical integration”). The characteristics of a Parking District include: A defined area with set boundaries A “special assessment” that applies to all properties within the district. This revenue generally goes toward defined district improvements, but are generally restricted to parking, transportation or downtown related projects. Generally run by an Executive Director or President (although some are run by City Department Heads) All revenues are collected and managed by the District for reinvestment within the District Revenue sources typically include: o Special Assessment Millage (if applicable) o Fee-in-lieu of parking funds o Off-Street Parking Revenue(could include revenue sources such as advertising in parking structures, vending machines, retail space rental in mixed-use parking facilities, and special event parking revenue) o On-Street Parking Revenue o Parking Enforcement Revenue Parking Districts have made significant contributions to the communities they serve. For example, in Boulder, CO, the Downtown and University Hill Management District/Parking Services accomplished the following with Parking District revenues: Funding of the Eco-Pass Program ($700,000 for 2006) – This program gives all downtown employees a free bus pass and contributes to a 45%-62% modal split among downtown employees. Repayment of a $ 3.4 million Mall Improvement Bond ($500,000/yr) – The parking system paid the $ 3.4 million bond to renovate the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. BID funding and Pearl Street Mall Services Program ($100,000) – Downtown Boulder Inc. (the downtown BID) serves as the marketing arm for Downtown Boulder. Recognizing that for the downtown to be competitive on a regional basis, the parking program annually contributes $100,000 for BID funding and the Mall Services Program. Parking structure debt service obligations – Parking district revenues also fund the development costs of downtown public parking structures as well as all parking operating and maintenance costs. The Coconut Grove Business District in the City of Miami is formed by local merchants and maintains its own improvement trust fund. The funds collected within the District are used to facilitate public off-street parking, infrastructure improvements and maintenance and marketing to serve the area. Activities performed with revenues collected in the trust fund include: Acquisition of land for parking purposes; Construction, maintenance, operation, and management of off- street public parking facilities; Provision of public information to enhance parking utilization including publicity campaigns, graphics and signage, and other informational devices; APPENDIX B 93 |Page Coordination of plans for parking facility improvements and expansion with public transportation plans and operations in the vicinity, particularly the joint facilities that might be operated in connection with Metrorail and any feeder services existing or future; Provision of transportation to off-street parking facilities through shuttle, tram or trolley service and related physical improvements such as bus shelters and right-of-way modifications; and Other related activities as may be appropriate to carry out the intent of this article including, but not limited to, reimbursement of administrative costs, infrastructure improvements in the public right-of-way, contributing to maintenance of the public sidewalks within the business district defined herein, as well as destination marketing (only through providing matching funds). This model has been very successful in implementing multiple reinvestments from the parking district revenues. Since it is maintained by the local businesses, the District can prioritize investments that have a positive impact on business. Parking Organization – Summary of Best Practices The most effective and progressive parking programs in the country embrace a “dual mission philosophy” relative to parking management, where the objectives include downtown development and revitalization. The successful organization models are generally the ones that are led by stakeholders who are already engaged in community and economic development since they are in a better position to align parking and downtown management policies with the larger community goals. More recently, downtown development organizations have taken a direct management role in parking planning and operations. Parking can be a multi-faceted tool that can be leveraged to achieve multiple goals including downtown redevelopment, community building, economic development, multimodal planning, etc.. Downtown development organizations have used parking as an economic stimulus tool to attract and promote targeted types of development that align with community goals. Providing incentives for types of development desired by a community in the long-term helps achieve a mix of land uses and make the community more sustainable. While communities still build stand-alone parking facilities to meet specific parking demands, the latest trend is to effectively use public/private partnerships to strategically locate additional public parking in conjunction with mixed-use or transit oriented developments. Under this partnership model, the City and developers share the costs of common infrastructure such as foundations, stair/elevator towers, sprinkler systems, parking access and revenue control systems, etc. creating a win-win for both parties. This “spreading out” of public parking supply also promotes a variety of beneficial goals such as better leveraging shared parking opportunities, the promotion of “Park Once” strategies to reduce traffic, congestion and emissions, etc. Through tools such as fees-in-lieu of parking, this strategic placement of parking assets can be promoted, leading to better parking supply distribution. Another successful strategy used by downtown organizations is the idea of “reinvesting a portion of parking revenues back into district in which they were generated”. The downtown can be enhanced through landscape and streetscape improvements, maintenance of cleaner streets/sidewalks, banner programs, ambassador programs, increased short-term parking supply through better enforcement practices, public art, etc. These improvements result in increased development activity, increased sales taxes, and higher property taxes. With increased parking demand there is an increase in parking revenues. This leads to even more potential reinvestment of parking revenues. It is this positive cycle of investment in economic vitality initiatives that is a characteristic of successful parking management models. The Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) in Boise, ID has implemented a unique strategy in managing their parking assets. The CCDC manages the off-street parking infrastructure in downtown. They have successfully used a strategy of “parking leading other investment” to spur significant development in their downtown. An example of this is the recent “BoDo” (Boise Downtown) Development. The CCDC invested $14 million in two parking structures and $1.5 million in streetscape improvements. In return, they leveraged a $62 million mixed-use development (consisting of a cinema, hotel, retail, restaurants and offices) and a $25 million residential project (Aspen Lofts). CCDC’s initial investment of $14 million stimulated the private investment of over $87 million (a 5.61 investment ratio). This does not include an additional $600,000 in tax increment that was generated by the projects and a projected $1 million dollars in increased parking revenues over the next four years. Characteristics of Effective Parking Programs Based on an evaluation of numerous parking systems across the country, the following 20 characteristics have been identified as significant components of successful parking programs. These characteristics when combined into an integrated, programmatic approach will provide the foundation for a sound and well managed parking system. The 20 characteristics include: 1.Clear vision and mission 2.Parking Philosophy 3.Strong Planning 4.Community Involvement 5.Organization 6.Staff Development 7.Safety, Security and Risk Management 8.Effective Communications 9.Consolidated Parking Programs 10.Strong Financial Planning 11.Creative, Flexible and Accountable Parking Management 12.Operational Efficiency 13.Comprehensive Facilities Maintenance Programs 14.Effective use of Technology 15.Parking System Marketing and Promotion 16.Positive Customer Service Programs 17.Special Events Parking Programs 18.Effective Enforcement 19.Parking and Transportation Demand Management 20.Awareness of Competitive Environment Each of these characteristics is discussed in-depth in a separate handout titled “Characteristics of Effective Parking Programs”. Furthermore, there are numerous best practices that we have observed that have been successfully implemented in other parking programs. A sample of these best practices is also included in a separate handout titled “Parking Management and Design Best Practices”. APPENDIX B 94 |Page Evaluation of Delray Beach’s Parking Organization The City of Delray Beach maintains a horizontally integrated structure of managing parking. The various departments and the responsibilities involved with operations and maintenance of parking facilities are described below: The Parking Management Specialist is responsible for coordination of the overall parking operations, maintenance and planning. The Public Works Department is responsible for maintenance of all on- and off-street parking facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for landscaping. The Police Department provides security while also overseeing enforcement. The Utility Billing Department is responsible for selling smart cards and beach permits. The Finance Department performs the audit/accounting function to ensure accountability of revenues and expenses. This results in a very fragmented structure as is inherent with horizontally integrated model where one entity does not have full authority of all parking functions. Recommendation: Any of the four organizational alternatives described in the chapter, could improve parking management within the City of Delray Beach. The key insight and primary recommendation being advanced for the City’s consideration is to adopt the underlying principle of a “vertically integrated” parking management model. This approach recommends one entity or agency that will manage the following functional areas as one system: On-Street Parking; Off-Street Parking; Parking Enforcement; and Parking Planning. A secondary recommendation is to clearly define the “scope of operations” of the parking management function. This can entail a surprisingly long list of functions and services as discussed previously in this chapter. Based on the Consultant’s experience with the most successful and progressive municipal parking management programs in the country today, it is strongly recommend that the City of Delray Beach consider the benefits gained by what is referred to as the “dual mission philosophy”. This refers to a shift in perspective that is gained when parking management is used as a tool to achieve a larger set of goals such as “downtown or urban redevelopment” or “downtown district economic development”. Finally, it is important to reinforce the fact that parking should not be viewed in isolation, but as one important element of the larger transportation system. We encourage a shift in thinking away from “parking as a standalone element” in favor of thinking in terms of developing an “integrated set of access management strategies for the downtown”. This shift in attitude and approach might have the parking program engaging in new and different activities such as: sponsoring a community bike program or collaborating on a community car sharing service to better support downtown residential development. The Parking Management Agency might also serve as a funding partner in a larger communitywide way finding program. An important implementation tool in parking management is the principle of – “reinvestment of a portion of parking revenues back into the district where they are generated”. Paid parking is never a popular proposition, but in the end there are a limited number of tools available manage parking behaviors. The two most powerful tools of parking management are pricing and regulation (time limits, etc. supported by enforcement). Parking pricing is by far the most effective method of encouraging appropriate usage of parking assets. While parking pricing is an unpopular idea in the beginning, the combination of parking pricing and reinvestment of parking revenues within the community is a very powerful economic development tool. It also offsets the perceived negativities of paid parking. Investments such as public art, flower basket programs, pop-jet fountains, banner programs, free downtown WIFI, downtown marketing, etc. have been successfully implemented in many communities and paid for with parking revenues. Parking and transportation are critical support elements. When they are well organized, managed and have policies and programs that are aligned with the larger community strategic objectives, they can contribute significantly to downtown development and vitality. Determining the most appropriate organizational structure for a parking management entity is a critical first step and will set the foundation for future program success. It is important to note that plans alone do not change communities – people do. The road forward includes three primary elements: The Right Organizational Structure – that links authority with responsibility and provides a funding source adequate for success. The Right Parking Management Plan – designed specifically to meet the identified short, mid and long-term goals of the community. It has been said that “Parking is not rocket science”. We agree – it is much, much harder to master! Parking is political. Parking is personal. Parking is financial. Parking is perception. Parking for most downtown visitors is their first and last impression. Parking is thousands of individual “touches” everyday; and therefore parking is important! The Right Leadership – that can align parking goals with community redevelopment goals. Programs do not lead themselves. Parking is a complex and detail oriented business and as such it needs a downward focused operations manager that can keep the operation running smoothly. The City of Delray Beach should identify the parking organizational model that best fits the community goals. Especially, if a parking fee is implemented within the downtown core, there may be a need to implement a mechanism wherein revenues are reinvested within the area in which they are generated. The City should consider establishing a special parking district to help forge partnerships between the city government, residents, and business owners. The district will serve as a formal means to generate additional revenue and providing funds for valuable improvements to pedestrian facilities, lighting, street furniture, street/sidewalk maintenance, bicycle lanes, and other amenities. Also, as part of this partnership, residents and business owners will have the opportunity to specify where the revenue is spent. APPENDIX B 95 |Page CHAPTER 15 – COMPREHENSIVE PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN A comprehensive parking management plan has been developed for the City of Delray Beach through this study process in addition to specific recommendations related to other aspects of transportation including shuttle, walkability, and TDM. The parking management plan consists of specific strategies that will encourage efficient use of existing parking facilities, improve the quality of service provided to parking facility users, improve overall parking facility design, and establish a parking organization model that is more vertically integrated. The parking management plan will also help to achieve a variety of transportation, land use, economic, and environmental objectives. A summary of the parking management strategies that have been recommended throughout this report address the following aspects of parking: Shared parking – typically accommodates more users with fewer spaces compared with assigning each space to an individual motorist Regulated parking use – regulating parking facilities to encourage more efficient use of parking resources Accurate and flexible parking standards – parking standards that are reflective of parking demand and is derived from the City’s geographic, demographic, and economic factors Parking policies – Policies that integrate transportation and land use decisions by creating more accessible, less automobile-dependent land use patterns. Pricing – Parking pricing or high-demand pricing used to encourage users to choose parking facilities based on purpose of stay, such as higher fee for on-street convenient parking. Pricing is also used to entice people to car pool, walk or bike to their destination rather than single occupant vehicle for areas of heavy activity for parking. Financial incentives for Alternative Transportation (parking cash out and transit benefits) – Financial incentives to commuters for using alternative travel modes. Employers (rather than subsidizing parking) can subsidize transit passes or offer financial rewards or other incentives (priority parking. Unbundled parking pricing – Separation of parking costs from building costs where parking is sold or rented separately so occupants only pay for the parking spaces they need. Peripheral Parking Lots – Parking areas outside of downtown core to be used for parking for employees who are then shuttled to major destinations. These parking areas are usually underutilized and are usually more enticing for use if priced much lower than parking rates within the downtown core. Convenient Parking Technology – Use of parking meter technology that is user friendly, intuitive, and allow for monitoring by parking staff. These can also use variable pricing in which hourly rates and time restrictions could vary by block or time of day. Improved user information and marketing – convenient and accurate information on parking availability and price. Supportive Parking Code – Revisions to the parking code to promote shared parking generally in downtown and in mixed use developments, to support redevelopment in West Atlantic Neighborhood, to promote office friendly development standards to attract more office development in downtown, to incorporate bicycle parking requirements to support bicycling. Plan Recommendations The recommendations provided in the comprehensive parking management plan should not be considered mutually exclusive, but rather viewed as interconnected and complimentary. The following major recommendations have been presented within the Plan to provide better parking planning, management and operations within the study area: Parking Code Recommendations (Chapter 5) Adopt specific parking requirements for office development within the CBD that are intended to attract Class A and B office developments (Table 5-4) Adopt recommended bicycle parking requirements within the study area along with bicycle parking locational requirements (Table 5-5) Allow Urban Land Institute’s (ULI)Shared Parking, Second Edition, procedures as an additional option to determine shared parking reductions for mixed-use developments Extend shared parking reductions to mixed use developments outside the currently specified CBD, GC, MROC, and the PC zoning districts Implement shared parking concepts within the West Atlantic Neighborhood, where the CRA can build public parking facilities at strategic locations similar to the ones in the downtown core and the Beach District, and waive/reduce parking requirements for businesses within a specified distance of public parking facilities Walkability Recommendations (Chapter 6) Clearly delineate crosswalks along Atlantic Avenue Protect sidewalks from encroachment and define pedestrian zones along streets Remove obstructions to curb ramps and improve driveway slopes Improve pedestrian connections around bus stops Improve pedestrian connections and lighting in and around parking facilities (Bankers Row Lot, Old School Square Garage, Railroad Lot, and SW 4th Avenue parking lot) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Recommendations (Chapter 7) Extend currently required TDM program within the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) to a citywide program Require specific TDM strategies within the Land Development Code for implementation Adopt citywide interim and long-term TDM plan as recommended in the Plan Downtown Shuttle Review (Chapter 8) Require improved Ridership Report data from contractor for evaluation including revenue mile and deadhead mile information Revise City’s shuttle service map to reflect existing routes/schedule (Shuttle map on website does not reflect existing hours of operation and Route 2 modifications) Modify shuttle name signage by removing vehicle wrap – replace vehicle wrap with signage that does not obstruct the view into or outside the vehicle Require proper route identification on buses – Route identification should be clearly presented on each bus on the locations required by the contract Improve Route 2 marketing - Brochures/handouts including route and schedule information should be provided to beach area hotels to increase ridership on Route 2 Modify routes for improved connectivity with parking and both Tri- Rail and Palm Tran APPENDIX B 96 |Page City’s Operating Policies and Procedures (Chapter 9) Undertake a comprehensive valet parking study to evaluate the existing valet operations to effectively enhance the City’s parking supply Adopt comprehensive valet ordinance/program that regulates valet operations according to city standards which is fair for all establishments and businesses wishing to implement a valet parking program Implement marketing measures and other incentives to promote the use of the smart cards. Evaluate the feasibility of retrofitting existing parking meters to accept credit/debit cards in addition to smart cards Adopt changes to the City’s parking enforcement policies and operations to make downtown more visitor friendly and promote enforcement officers as downtown ambassadors Consider investment in automated citation handheld computers and associated hardware to improve the existing enforcement program Examine the extent of the Federal time limitations of the Beach Renourishment Program to evaluate the feasibility of extending beach parking permits to residents only Revenue Control Equipment (Chapter 10) Implement a mix of multi-space meters (Pay-and-Display) and single space meters for on-street parking revenue control Implement revenue control equipment that accepts multiple forms of revenue including debit/credit cards, smart cards and cash Public Parking Fee (Chapter 11) Implement paid parking system within the downtown core along both on-street and off-street parking facilities, with the following recommended fee structure: o On-street program fee structure First 20 minutes free parking; beyond first hour charge of $1.25/hour within downtown core and $0.75/hour outside core will apply Enforcement hours – Mon – Thu (10 a.m – 8 p.m); Fri - Sat (10 a.m – 12 a.m) Enforcement Streets – Atlantic Avenue (NW 5th Ave to Intracoastal Waterway); SE 1st St, NE 1st St, and NE 2nd St (Swinton Ave to Intracoastal Waterway), NE /SE 1st Ave, NE/SE 2nd Ave, and NE/SE 4th Ave (SE 1st St to NE 2nd St) and SE 3rd Ave (Atlantic Ave to SE 1st St) o Off-street program fee structure First hour free parking; beyond first hour charge of $1.00/hour within downtown core and $0.75/hour outside core will apply with daily maximum of $5.00 Enforcement hours – Mon – Thu (10 a.m – 8 p.m); Fri - Sat (10 a.m – 12 a.m) Enforcement Lots – Veterans Lot, Gladiola Lot, Village Lot, Old City Lot, Railroad Lot, Old School Square Garage, Robert Federspiel Garage, Monterey Lot o Discounted parking permits for downtown merchants, residents and employees as recommended Projected annual revenue of $1.2 million and estimated initial capital cost of $1.2 million Payment in Lieu of Parking Program (Chapter 12) Promote in-lieu program as a means of shared parking Allow option to voluntarily participate and not hardship based Set maximum limit for in-lieu spaces per site Review in-lieu fee and tiered structure every 3 years Parking Organizational Models (Chapter 14) Implement a vertically integrated parking organization within the City through any of the following four models: o A Consolidated City Department model o The Parking Authority model o The “Contract” or Downtown Association model o The Parking District model Implement management program wherein one entity is responsible for on-street parking, off-street parking, parking enforcement and parking planning Use parking management as a tool to achieve “downtown or urban redevelopment” or “downtown district economic development” Reinvest portion of revenues back into the downtown district Adopt shift in thinking from “parking as a standalone element” in favor of developing an “integrated set of access management strategies for the downtown” Recommended Plan of Action The parking recommendations outlined in the report should be implemented as a comprehensive parking management program rather than isolated individual applications. The recommendations are intended to streamline the existing parking operations, increase utilization of facilities, encourage appropriate use of facilities, develop a coordinated parking organization structure, and provide multimodal transportation options within the study area. The recommendations contained in the report fall generally into three categories as listed below: Immediate: Improvements/changes that can be performed immediately with very little investment of money and time; Short Term: Improvements or changes that are recommended within the next one to three years in the recommended order; and Long Term: Improvements or changes that are recommended after three to five years that involve either significant investment or require monitoring of the changes implemented in the first two categories. The recommended plan of action for the City of Delray Beach is listed in Chart 15-1.

Atlantic Avenue (Rok Brgr) Individually Designated, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H) and a recommendation to the City Commission regarding a waiver request to LDR section 4.6.7(E)(7) Design Standard Matrix a wall sign not facing a dedicated street frontage. BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 6, Block 69, Town of Delray. The site is zoned Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) and contains a masonry vernacular style building which is considered a contributing building within the Old School Square Historic District. Constructed in 1910 by the Rhoden family, early Delray pioneers, the building served as a general store and grocery store while the family lived in the apartment above. It is the oldest remaining, contributing building on Atlantic Avenue. Over the years there have been numerous modifications to the building including rehabilitation of the structure to comply with the Delray Beach Design Guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The current proposal relates to the portion of the building formerly occupied by Tryst. In 1988, a blanket sign program was approved for four flat wall signs in rust brown, background ivory border 7’ 11” in length and 2’ heigh as this is a multi-tenant building which consists of Rok BRG, Bull Bar, Jimmy’s Bistro, and retail. Any deviation from the established Blanket Sign Program must result from action by the Historic Preservation Board. In 2000, Historic Preservation Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for a sign for the tenant Safari Steakhouse and again in 2004, for a sign for the tenant Sol Kitchen. Attached is the current request to amend the Blanket Sign Program and the justification for the sign waiver. The request on the north elevation is grey painted letters with red internally illuminated reverse channel letter that reads “ROK BRGR” The sign is 2’58” high by 7’66” wide for a total of 19’76” sq. ft. The west elevation consists of internally illuminated channel letters that reads “ROK BRGR” with the rest of the words “Craft Beer” “Burgers” “GastroPub” painted white. The sign is 11” high by 32’6” long for a total of 29’6” sq. ft. ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Future Land Use Element Objective A-4: The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the preservation of historic resources. The objective shall be met through continued adherence to the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance and the following policies: Policy A-4.1: Prior to approval or recommending approval of any land use or development application for property located within a historic district or designated as a historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a finding that the requested action is consistent with the provisions 4 E. Atlantic Avenue (2017 – 73, 74) HPB Meeting; Page 2 of 4 of Section 4.5.1 of the Land Development Regulations relating to historic sites and districts and the “Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines.” In addition to the above, the request also requires compliance with the regulations pertaining to signage. These regulations have been included within the discussion and analysis below regarding visual compatibility. LDR Section 4.6.7(D) Aesthetic Qualifications: (1) Applicability: The following subsection describes basic aesthetic qualifications which apply to signs. (2) Basis: The aesthetic quality of a building, or the entire neighborhood, is materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to the architecture of the building or the adjacent surroundings. In addition, to the limitations on signs imposed on Subsections (E) and (K), the following aesthetic considerations must be met. a. Garishness: The overall effect of lettering, configuration or color of a sign shall not be garish. “Garish” signs are those that are too bright or gaudy, showy, glaring, and or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation. Garish signs are not in harmony with and are not compatible with the building or adjacent surroundings. b. Scale and Conformity with Surroundings: The scale of the sign in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building on which it is to be placed or painted and the neighborhood or streetscape where it is to be located. Scale be considered in terms of Subsection (E)(2) with respect to height and area. c. Quality: All signs shall have a professional appearance that enhances the visual aesthetics of the area. STAFF COMMENT: Although the proposed signage does not meet the criteria of the current Blanket Sign Program, the proposed signage is not garish nor is it gaudy. It is in in harmony with the scale of the building and its surrounding area and is aesthetically pleasing to the neighborhood. The current blanket sign program is outdated and the owner of the building should consider an update to the entire program to meet the needs of the tenants in the future. Therefore, positive findings, can be made with respect to the subject LDR Section 4.6.7(D). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.7(F)(2)(a), Blanket Sign Program, a Blanket Sign Program may be required for a commercial property establishing the font, color, size and location of signs on a multiple tenant building. A Blanket Sign Program shall be approved by the Historic Preservation Board if the project is in the historic district or a historically designated site. After approval of a Blanket Sign Program individual signs consistent therewith shall be administratively approved. STAFF COMMENT: The proposed sign does not meet the current Blanket Sign Program as it requires unified signage, with specific finishes, fonts, sizes, and colors. As stated above, the Blanket Sign Program is outdated, and it might be in the best interest of the owner of the building to update the Program to accommodate any future tenants as this building is a multi-tenant building with several restaurants, commercial use and office space upstairs. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.7 (E)(7), Design Standard Matrix, the following matrix sets forth the standards for various types of signs when located in various zoning districts or defined by use. Per LDR Section 4.4.24(F), the following locations shall be subject to the development standards of the Commercial Core (CC) within CBD zoning District, excluding exceptions to the height limitations provided in Section 4.3.4(J)(4):(a) Lots 1-7, Lots 16-18 and 19-24 Block 69. In the 4 E. Atlantic Avenue (2017 – 73, 74) HPB Meeting; Page 3 of 4 Central Business District (CBD) one wall sign per business facing a dedicated street frontage is allowed. The applicant has applied for signage interior to the restaurant space, therefore requiring a waiver to LDR section 4.6.7(E)(7). Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), Waivers: Findings, the granting body shall make findings that, (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. The applicant has provided a justification for the waiver in the attached letter. The granting of this waiver will not adversely affect the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities and is not creating an unsafe situation. The signage is complimentary to the building and coordinates with the signage on the north elevation. Several waivers have been granted for wall signs not facing dedicated street frontage such as Chase Bank, Burger King and Delray Boxing. LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(5) and 4.5.1(E)(8) provide guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable guidelines are as follows: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), a historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. STAFF COMMENT: No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts; however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving “character-defining” and distinctive features, and discussing scale and compatibility within historic districts such as the following Standard: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property.

(SECOND READING). Recommended Action: Motion to Approve Ordinance No.07-17 on Second Reading for the amendments to Land Development Regulations as specified in attached Ordinance No. 07-17, as presented. Background: The item before the City Commission is to consider City-initiated amendments to LDR Section 4.3.3,“Special Requirements for Specific Uses”,by repealing paragraph (D),“Community Gardens”in its entirety and enacting a new section (D)entitled,“Urban Agriculture”;amending Article 4.4 to remove “Community Gardens”and to allow “Urban Agriculture”in certain zoning districts;amending Appendix A “Definitions”to provide for related definitions,to provide specific design and review criteria,parking requirements,and to add Urban Agriculture as an allowable outside use. On June 7,2011,the City Commission adopted Ordinance No.12-11,which introduced the use of “community gardens”within specified zoning districts as a principal and accessory use subject to certain regulations.The ordinance was intended to provide for the implementation of community gardens whereby a group of residents could grow their produce and horticultural plants for their own consumption without creating adverse environmental impacts or land use incompatibilities. Subsequent to the adoption of Ordinance No.12-11,several concerns have been raised with respect to the restrictions of the current Ordinance,which has resulted in a lack interest in establishing community gardens.The restrictions that were found to be most burdensome are:(i) that they are only allowed in some residential zoning districts;(ii)the sale of produce grown on- site is not allowed;(iii)evening community gatherings are not allowed;(iv)the cost of establishing water service;(v)the requirement to install a drive-through gate to accommodate trucks;(vi)the City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/8/2017Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-406,Version:1 water service;(v)the requirement to install a drive-through gate to accommodate trucks;(vi)the prohibition on bee keeping,and (vii)currently,gardens cannot be greater that one standard lot and lots cannot be combined. Additionally,the ordinance did not address the emerging practice of urban farming,a rather new form of commercial agriculture that addresses local food production in urbanized areas. The Green Implementation Advancement Board (GIAB)has put forward several recommendations to encourage and expand community gardening and urban agriculture through innovative food production and the creation of a sustainable local food supply. The proposed amendments seek to encourage community gardens within the City of Delray Beach by removing them from the Land Development Regulations (LDRs)and making them a program that will be coordinated by city staff and the GIAB,while adding Urban Agriculture to the LDRs as a land use within the City. The Community Garden program will establish Garden Policy Guidelines to be adopted by the City Commission via Resolution.The Garden Policy Guidelines will establish firm expectations on design,operations,maintenance and monitoring of the community gardens.The Community Garden Program is based on a model of community-self governance that requires garden organizers to develop and adopt a formal garden management plan.The garden management plan identifies not simply the garden design,but also responsibilities for operation and maintenance. City Commission consideration of the Community Gardens Policy is scheduled to occur concurrent with the adoption of this ordinance.The Community Gardens Policy is in legal review and a copy of the draft policy is attached. The proposed ordinance enacts Urban Agriculture as a new land use to promote local production of food crops,non-food ornamental crops,such as flowers,and to promote the health, environmental,and economic benefits of having such uses in the City.Urban Agriculture includes rooftop gardens,productive green walls,indoor farm facilities,outdoor urban farms,and other innovative production methods that maximize production in an urban area. The ordinance proposes to add Urban Agriculture as a principal (permitted)and/or accessory use within the following zoning districts: Agricultural (A) Rural Residential (RR) General Commercial (GC) Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Planned Commercial (PC) Mixed Industrial and Commercial (MIC) Industrial (I) Community Facilities (CF) Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) Light Industrial (LI) City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/8/2017Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-406,Version:1 Mixed Residential, Office and Commercial (MROC) Within the Central Business District (CBD),Urban Agriculture (excluding outdoor urban farms)is listed as a principal (permitted) use. Outdoor urban farms are listed as a conditional use. The proposed ordinance establishes regulations with respect to the following: Appearance:By requiring properties involved in such uses to be maintained so that they do not become overgrown with weeds,infested by invasive exotic plants or vermin,or a source of erosion due to storm water runoff;and requires the Urban Agriculture sites to be restored if the property is determined to be abandoned. General Rules and Regulations:The ordinance establishes general rules for operation such as: the prohibition of all forms of animal husbandry;requirements to register Honeybee colonies with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in accordance with Rule:5B- 54.010,Florida Administrative Code;requiring the site to be designed and maintained so that the water used in the production of agricultural products,as well as compost and fertilizer,do not drain onto adjacent properties;and,restrictions limiting hours of operation from sunrise to before sunset (hours of operation will not be limited for indoor farming activities). Site Standards:These regulations specify the approval process for urban agriculture uses and outlines specific site design criteria pertaining to signage,lighting,drainage,setbacks and sight visibility. The complete outline of the proposed amendments is provided in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. Review by Others The Pineapple Grove Main Street (PGMS)committee reviewed this item at their June 29,2016 meeting and acknowledged support of this amendment. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA)reviewed this item at their July 11,2016 and recommended approval. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)reviewed this item at their July 14,2016 and was supportive of the proposed amendments. The Green Implementation Advisory Board (GIAB)reviewed this item at their July 21,2016 meeting and recommended approval. The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC)reviewed this item at their September 1, 2016 meeting and voted to recommend unanimous approval of the text amendment. The Historic Preservation Board (HPB)reviewed this item at their December 7,2016 meeting. The Board voiced several concerns with the propose ordinance,namely,ensuring that the community gardens/urban farms are properly maintained;permitting the on-site sale of produce at a community garden;addressing specific requirements when an urban farm is accessory to an existing residential use;monitoring the use and run-off of pesticides;the height and size of City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/8/2017Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-406,Version:1 existing residential use;monitoring the use and run-off of pesticides;the height and size of permitted accessory structures,and utilizing the front yard of a residential lot for urban farming. The Board recommended approval on a 4 to 3 vote subject to the concerns and comments noted. Subsequent to the Historic Preservation Board meeting,the ordinance was revised to address the concerns noted by the Board. At its meeting of January 23,2017,the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of Ordinance No.07-17 on a vote of 4 to 0 (Joe Pike and Leslie Marcus absent)with the condition that the reference to discouraging pvc and other non-synthetic fencing materials be deleted.It is noted that the ordinance before the City Commission has been revised to reflect the standard ordinance format, as well as editorial changes.

A AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENTS TO LDR SECTION 4.3.3(D) COMMUNITY GARDENS, TO REPEAL THIS SECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY AND TO ADD A NEW SECTION ENTITLED URBAN AGRICULTURE, TO AMEND ARTICLE 4.4 TO REMOVE COMMUNITY GARDENS AS A PRINCIPAL USE AND TO ADD URBAN AGRICULTURE AS PRINCIPAL, ACCESSORY AND CONDITIONAL USES IN SPECIFIC ZONING DISTRICTS; AMENDING SECTION 4.6.9 OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS, SUB-SECTION 4.6.9(C)7 “OTHER USES” AND TABLE 4.4.13(K) “MINIMUM NUMBER OF OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES REQUIRED IN THE CBD” TO ESTABLISH PARKING REQUIREMENTS; AMENDING SECTION 4.6.6 “COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES TO OPERATE WITHIN A BUILDING” TO LIST URBAN AGRICULTURE AS AN ALLOWABLE OUTSIDE USE; AMENDING APPENDIX A “DEFINITIONS” TO PROVIDE FOR RELATED DEFINITION AND PROVIDE SPECIFIC DESIGN AND REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE NEW USE. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is a recommendation to the City Commission regarding City-initiated amendments to LDR Section 4.3.3(D), Community Gardens, to repeal this section and to add a new section entitled Urban Agriculture, to amend Article 4.4 to remove Community Gardens and to permit Urban Agriculture as a principal and accessory uses in specific zoning districts; to amend Section 4.6.9 Off-Street Parking Regulations, Sub-section 4.6.9(C)7 “Other Uses” and Table 4.4.13(K) “Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required in the CBD” to establish parking requirements; amending Section 4.6.6 “Commercial and Industrial Uses to Operate Within a Building” to list Urban Agriculture as an allowable outside use; amend Appendix A “Definitions” to provide for related definitions and to provide specific design and review criteria. Community Gardens will now be permitted through a staff coordinated program. BACKGROUND On June 7, 2011, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 12-11, which introduced the use of “community gardens” within specified zoning districts as a principal and accessory use subject to certain regulations. The ordinance was intended to provide for the implementation of community gardens whereby a group of residents could grow their produce and horticultural plants for their own consumption without creating adverse environmental impacts or land use incompatibilities. Community gardens were not intended to be a commercial enterprise and thus the sale of produce and plants were prohibited. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of January 23, 2017 LDR Text Amendment for “Urban Agriculture” 2 Prior to the adoption of the Ordinance there were three community gardens within the City, known as the Cason Community Garden, the Swinton Community Garden and the Southwest Community Garden. Subsequent to the adoption of the Ordinance four new community gardens were established; the Frog Alley Community Garden, Delray Beach Children’s Garden, Delray Students Farm School and the Gladiolus Community Garden. Over the years several concerns have been raised with respect to the restrictions of the current Ordinance, which has resulted in a lack interest in establishing community gardens. The restrictions that are found to be most burdensome are: (i) that they are only allowed in some residential zoning districts; (ii) the sale of produce grown on-site is not allowed; (iii) evening community gatherings are not allowed; (iv) the cost of establishing water service; (v) the requirement to install a drive-through gate to accommodate trucks; and, (vi) the prohibition on bee keeping. Additionally, the ordinance did not address the emerging practice of urban farming, a rather new form of commercial agriculture that addresses local food production in urbanized areas. With the adoption of Comprehensive Plan Amendment 01-10, revisions to the Conservation Element included a NEW GOAL AREA “E” STRIVE TO BECOME A MORE SUSTAINABLE CITY. Following this Comprehensive Plan amendment, the Green Implementation Advancement Board (GIAB) was created with the responsibility to review City operations and policies toward achieving Delray Beach’s green and sustainability goals. The Green Implementation Advancement Board (GIAB) has put forward several recommendations to encourage and expand community gardening and urban agriculture through innovative food production and creating a sustainable local food supply. PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendments seek to encourage Community Gardens within the City of Delray Beach by removing them from the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) and making them a program that will be coordinated by city staff and the GIAB while adding Urban Agriculture to the LDRs as a land use within the City. Under the proposed Community Garden program, community gardens are defined as green garden spaces, often within urbanized areas, that are communally cared for and cultivated. The garden may consist of individually-worked plots or communally-tended areas and grow horticulture plants, trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, and herbs primarily for the use of those involved in the project. The program is comprised of clear Garden Policy Guidelines on design, operations and maintenance requirements, an Application Package and approval process, and an annual Activities Report to track and communicate with garden mangers. By clarifying public expectations around community garden activities and requiring community garden organizations to carefully consider and document all aspects of initiating, and more importantly, managing and maintaining the garden, the City hopes to avoid adverse environmental impacts or incompatible land uses. These measures will allow community gardens to be created and operate outside of the formalized Land Development Regulations. Although the Community Garden Program establishes a process for registering and monitoring gardens, the City neither sponsors nor organizes the gardening activities. Instead, local residents Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of January 23, 2017 LDR Text Amendment for “Urban Agriculture” 3 are encouraged to organize a gardening club, identify suitable land for establishing the garden and develop their own Garden Management Plan (GMP) to regulate and enforce the activities and operation of their garden. The GMP, which is submitted as part of the application for City approval, becomes the document governing all member activities in that space. In this way, community members control and enforce their own rules for their garden. The City will monitor the garden’s appearance, and will only get involved the garden’s operations if the garden’s becomes unsightly, a public nuisance or if a health or safety issue emerges. Once a community garden is properly established, the city will endeavor to aid the garden’s activities by providing the most favorable rates for water supply available by law, arranging for no fee garbage collection, promoting the garden and its activities with a link on the City’s Sustainability webpage, and facilitating the garden’s collaboration with the Delray Green Market and other local initiatives. The Community Garden program would allow: - The sale of products, however, a community garden is not a commercial operation, thus gardens are not permitted to grow produce, plants and flowers, or create compost primarily to profit from their sale. Garden members may sell surplus harvest retail at a community green market, (like the Delray Green Market) or on site twice weekly to support the garden’s collective operating costs, or to recover expenses associated to the individual gardening activities of its members. - Community Garden’s hours of operation shall be limited from dawn to dusk seven days a week, with the exception of the garden club’s administrative meetings and special events, which may occur after dark but must conclude by 10 pm. Evening events are limited to twice monthly. - Gardeners are expected to keep noise levels low (radios, pets, children), so as not to disturb adjacent neighbors, and no machinery can be operated before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 pm seven (7) days a week. - Gardens may make arrangements with adjacent properties for a source of water, or request and pay the city for an irrigation meter to be installed. - Members of the garden are prohibited from raising rabbits, poultry or other livestock. Gardens wishing to maintain beehives must comply with state statute FS 586.10 which regulates activities related to Honeybee hive locations, inspections and maintenance. (The city is prohibited from restricting bee tending by Florida statute). - In compliance with Florida law, illegal plants, such as marijuana, invasive species, such as Old World Climbing Ferns and Air Potato vines, and any noxious weeds as defined by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services rule 5B-57.007, or Palm Beach County’s Article 14C of the Unified Land Development Code are prohibited. - The program requires the establishment of a management team to govern and manage the garden, requires maintenance and upkeep of the garden and includes ADA requirements. -The program requires garden spaces to be restored to a stable and acceptable aesthetic if the garden ceases operations. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of January 23, 2017 LDR Text Amendment for “Urban Agriculture” 4 - The program establishes a requirement of filing an Activity Report and requires City staff and GIAB to review the operations annually. Permission to maintain the garden can be withdraw if the garden is repeatedly cited for poor performance. - The community gardens program would be adopted by City Resolution. The changes associated with the subject amendment are as follows: LDR Section 4.4.3(D) “Community Gardens”: Repeal this section in its entirety and replace it with a new section entitled “Urban Agriculture”. The purpose of enacting this new land use is to promote local production of food crops , as well as non-food ornamental crops, such as flowers, and to promote the health, environmental, and economic benefits of having such uses in the City. Urban Agriculture refers to the science or practice of farming within and urbanized area, such as the city limits of Delray Beach. Urban Farms, may be small and have the likeness of a community garden, however they differ, in that they are commercial operations that sell goods and services to the public and businesses for profit. Urban Agriculture includes the cultivation of the soil for food crops and other plant-based products and these activities can occur on commercial rooftop gardens, productive green walls, indoor farm facilities, urban outdoor farms, and other innovative food production methods that maximize production in an urban area. LDR Section 4.3.3(D)(2) “Appearance”: This section addresses the appearance of an urban farm and provide that such facilities shall contribute to the appearance and aesthetics of the area and be compatible with surrounding land uses; shall be maintained so that it does not become overgrown with weeds, infested by invasive exotic plants or vermin, or a source of erosion due to storm water runoff; and requires that the site shall be restored if the property is not actively maintained as an Urban Farm for 180 or more consecutive days. LDR Section 4.3.3(D)(3) “ General Rules and Regulations”: This section establishes general rules for operation such as, the prohibition of all forms of animal husbandry; requirements to register Honeybee colonies with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in accordance with Rule: 5B-54.010, Florida Administrative Code; the site shall be designed and maintained so that the water used in the production of agricultural products, compost, and fertilizer will not drain onto adjacent property; restrictions on hours of operation from sunrise to before sunset (hours of operation will not be limited for indoor farming activities). LDR Section 4.3.3(D)(4) ”Site Standards”: Specific site design criteria are established and integrated with compliance with the development standards of the Land Development Regulations pertaining to signage, lighting, drainage, setbacks, sight visibility. This section also establishes the approval process for urban agriculture uses. Article 4.4 “Base Zoning District” is amended to add Urban Agriculture as a permitted and/or accessory use within the following zoning districts: Agricultural (A) Rural Residential (RR) General Commercial (GC) Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of January 23, 2017 LDR Text Amendment for “Urban Agriculture” 5 Planned Commercial (PC) Mixed Industrial and Commercial (MIC) Industrial (I) Community Facilities (CF) Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) Light Industrial (LI) Mixed Residential, Office and Commercial (MROC) The amendment adds Urban Agriculture (excluding outdoor urban farms) as a permitted use and outdoor urban farms as a conditional use within the Central Business (CBD) District. LDR Section 4.6.6(A) “Commercial and Industrial Uses to Operate Within a Building” is amended to add Urban Agriculture uses as an allowed outside use. LDR Section 4.6.9 “Off-Street Parking Regulations” and Table 4.4.13(L) “Minimum Number of Off-street Parking Spaces Required in the CBD” is amended to require a parking ratio of 1 space for every 2 acres or portion thereof of outdoor production area and 2 spaces for every 1,000 sq. ft. or portion thereof of gross floor area of buildings used for the Urban Farm (excluding sheds and other utility structures used only to house equipment and/or supplies.) These criteria were established based on research on the employment intensity of these types of uses in other cities with urban farming activities. Appendix A “Definitions” is amended to include new definitions for Animal Husbandry, Community Gardens, Commercial Gardens, Greenhouse, Rooftop Gardens, School Gardens, Urban Agriculture and Urban Farms. ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(1), amendments to the Land Development Regulations may be initiated by the City Commission, Planning and Zoning Board or City Administration; or an individual. The proposed amendments are City-initiated text amendments to the Land Development Regulations. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), Findings, in addition to LDR Section 1.1.6(A), the City Commission must make a finding that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted, and these are the applicable elements to this specific request. Objective E-1 of the Conservation Element: The City of Delray Beach encourages land use planning and development based on sustainability principles and practices. The City also, when applicable, recommends implementation of policies and programs that provide environmental, economic and social benefits to residents, businesses, visitors and other governmental agencies to strengthen Delray Beach’s position as a model of sustainable practices. Policy E-1.1 of the Conservation Element: By February 1st of each year, the Green Implementation Advancement Board (GIAB), shall review City operations and policies toward achieving Delray Beach’s green and sustainability goals and providing a report of recommendation to the City Commission regarding: Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of January 23, 2017 LDR Text Amendment for “Urban Agriculture” 6 1. Ways to improve the environmental sustainability of City programs, services, and equipment facilities. 2. Strategies for improving environmental sustainability of the community. 3. Incentives for residents, businesses, and organizations to practice environmental conservation including recycling. 4. Methods to enhance water and energy conservation. 5. Ideas for promotion of tree planting and xeriscaping. 6. Best Practices for implementation in Delray Beach, including long-term strategies. 7. Proposed revisions to City Ordinances to address Green Technologies. The actions proposed herein further the goal and policy outlined. Removing community gardens from the LDRs so that it is easier to create a garden and allowing Urban Farming to occur as a primary land use directly advance the sustainability goals of the City. Both activities address the need to grow more food and plant product closer to the point of consumption. This reduces the emissions related to transporting food and plants from agricultural areas to areas of consumption and increases community resilience, as the community is less dependent on outside factors, such as transportation, fuel, weather, labor disruptions to feed the population. Community gardens and urban farming also improve access to fresh fruits and vegetables for residents, which can directly improve public health. Some urban areas, particularly less affluent parts of cities often lack grocery stores and markets which stock fresh produce. These “food desserts”, arise as margins in the food and supermarket industries are very small, and some retailers simply do not choose to stock highly perishable merchandise. The lack of produce, and the higher costs of fruits and vegetable force some households to forego these food basics in their diet. Poor diet has high costs in terms of malnutrition, obesity, and disease in our community. Community gardens and urban farms mitigate these issues by allowing residents to grow their own fruits and vegetables, or produce goods locally, which can reduce their cost. Land cultivation also helps to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. Plants grow by fixing carbon and water through photosynthesis. While grass covered land provides some benefits, crops that grow quickly, are harvested, and then regrow provide an ongoing form of carbon sequestration. Moreover, the green landscape acts as a lung in the city, releasing Oxygen and reducing the urban heat island effect of solar radiation absorbed by surrounding asphalt and dark roof coatings. More importantly, community gardens connect citizens with the natural environment, educating the population on aspects of the water cycle, reproduction, organic decomposition and fertilization, insects and many secondary scientific concepts. This scientific education and appreciation for nature’s bounty leads to an understanding of the need to conserve resources and increase recycling and minimize human’s impact on the natural environment – all of which advance sustainability. The promotion of urban farms can also be viewed as a cutting edge economic development policy. Over the past decade, there has been a growing farm to table movement, which has increased the demand for organic locally grown produce. By allowing these uses within the City of Delray, the city will become a destination for food-growing entrepreneurs. Our local restaurants will also have greater access to these products. The synergy between urban farmers and restaurants and markets will result in economic gains, employment opportunities, and tax revenue and business tax licenses.

The local production of fruits, vegetables and herbs promotes healthy diets, addresses urban food deserts and mitigates food insecurity by allowing gardeners to supplement food purchases or donate surplus harvest to organizations that provide assistance to those in need. Moreover, gardens with plants and flowers provide bird, bee and butterfly habitat and offer opportunity for social gathering, recreation, education, and beautification of the community. Community gardens are defined as green garden spaces, often within urbanized areas, that are communally cared for and cultivated. The garden may consist of individually-worked plots or communally-tended areas and grow horticulture plants, trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, and herbs primarily for the use of those involved in the project. Community gardens differ from Urban Farms, which may be small and have the likeness of a community garden, but are commercial operations that sell goods and services to the public and businesses for profit, and are thus regulated under the Urban Farming category of the Local Development Regulations. Unlike agricultural uses taking place on agriculturally-zoned land, the community garden’s property owner can NOT seek an agricultural tax exemption afforded by local, state or federal tax regulations. The City of Delray Beach supports the community garden movement and has developed a Community Garden Program to facilitate the establishment of gardens in the city. The program is comprised of clear Garden Policy Guidelines on design, operations and maintenance requirements, an Application Package and approval process, and an annual Activities Report to track and communicate with garden mangers. By clarifying public expectations around community garden activities, the City hopes to avoid adverse environmental impacts or incompatible land uses, thus allowing community gardens to be created as a “primary” land use, not an “accessory use”, and operate outside of the formalized Local Development Regulations. Although the Community Garden Program establishes a process for registering and monitoring gardens, the City neither sponsors nor organizes the gardening activities. Instead, local residents are encouraged to organize a gardening club, identify suitable land for establishing the garden and develop their own Garden Management Plan (GMP) to regulate and enforce the activities and operation of their garden. The GMP, which is submitted as part of the application for City approval, becomes the document governing all member activities in that space. In this way, community members control and enforce their own rules for their garden. The City will monitor the garden’s appearance, and will only get involved the garden’s operations if the garden’s becomes unsightly, a public nuisance or if a health or safety issue emerges. Once a community garden is properly established, the city will endeavor to aid the garden’s activities by providing the most favorable rates for water supply available by law, arranging for no fee garbage collection, promoting the garden and its activities with a link on the City’s Sustainability webpage, and facilitating the garden’s collaboration with the Delray Green Market and other local initiatives. 3 Community Garden Program Components The Delray Beach Community Gardening Program consists of: Garden Policy Guidelines regarding design, operation and management of a community garden; An Application Package including a copy of the proposed Garden Management Plan, and; An annual Activities Report that documents the garden’s activities, upkeep and future plans. The Community Garden Program will be overseen by the City’s Green Implementation Advance Board (GIAB) with the assistance of the Sustainability Officer, which serves as the Board’s liaison. Issues of enforcement related to upkeep or poor operations will be forward to the City’s Community Improvement Department. Prior to beginning the application and preparing the GMP, garden organizers are encouraged to review the Garden Policy Guideline in this document to determine if their proposed activities would fall under the Community Garden Program or the Urban Farming category, and secondly ensure that the garden’s design and the important GMP will meet the criteria for approval. All Community Gardens in the City are subject to the adopted Community Garden Program. Gardens that were established prior to the adoption of this program will not be required to redesign the garden, unless they alter the site design more than 50%. Within one year of the adoption of the Community Garden Program, existing gardens will be required to submit a Community Garden’s, including a site design and Garden Management Plan. They will also be required to submit the annual Activities Report and be granted renewal permission going forward. As part of the Community Garden’s Program, the City has created a page under the Sustainability section of the City’s webpage, devoted to the Community Garden Program. The Community Garden Program’s Garden Policy Guidelines, the Application Package materials and Activities Report form can be found on the City’s webpage under the Sustainability topic. The webpage provides links to resources in the local community and other national gardening programs, as well as links to model documents from other community garden organizations that can be used to develop the Garden Management Plan and other components of the application. The webpage will also have links to each of the registered gardens in Delray Beach, allowing the public to read and learn about their activities. . . 4 I.Community Garden Policies Garden Location Garden Activities and Hours of Operation Garden Design Garden Maintenance Garden Administration Garden Locations A community garden can be established on vacant parcels or concurrent with structures containing other land uses in any zoning district. Gardens can be located on privately-owned or publically-owned land, with agreement of the landowner. An approved standard land use agreement can be found on the website and submitted with the application. Gardens and the land owner can also craft their own, if it meets the requirements of the standard form. Roofs of multifamily or condominium apartment buildings may also be used for community garden uses so long as the plantings are containerized in pots or planters and not integrated within the roof membrane. (Green roof installations designed as part of the structure are governed by the city’s building code.) Requests for use of publically-owned parcels must be made to the appropriate Delray Beach municipal department or government agency that holds title. Garden organizers are encouraged to discuss plans for creating a garden with owners of adjacent properties, as this fosters good will within the community and manages the expectations of the activities and aesthetics of the garden. As gardens grow food for human consumption, and are likely located on land previously used for other purposes, garden organizers are encouraged to research previous uses on the site to weigh the possibility that the soil could be contaminated with toxic substances. Residential land is less likely to be contaminated, but former industrial land could potential pose a risk. Garden organizers are encouraged to test soils on parcels that may be contaminated, or use a raised bed garden plot so as not to be exposed to site pollutants. Garden organizers may also choose to get soil analysis performed by University of Florida in order to learn about the soil’s nutrient content. Forms for submitting soil samples are provided by UF Agricultural Extension, and a link to this website can be found in the Community Garden section of the Delray Beach website. Garden Activities and Hours of Operations A community garden’s primary activities are the cultivation of horticulture plants, fruits, vegetables and herbs for the consumption and enjoyment of the garden’s members. The objective of the community garden program is to encourage gardening for recreation, education and wellbeing, and to supplement food needs, which is distinctly different than the economic activity of an urban farm. The community garden can also be used to create compost for on-site use, and is permitted to store and have storage 5 structures for garden-related tools and materials. Additionally, because garden is intended to build community pride, it may be used as a meeting place for educational programs, fundraising events and administrative meetings on a limited basis. A community garden is not a commercial operation, thus gardens are not permitted to grow produce, plants and flowers, or create compost primarily to profit from their sale. Applicants that wish to grow and sell produce and plants for profit should review the Urban Farming Section 4.3.3D of the Land Development Regulations and seek a permit for an urban farm. Community garden members are encouraged to donate surplus food to organizations that help feed less privileged members of the community. Garden members may sell surplus harvest retail preferably at a community green market, (like the Delray Green Market) or on site once weekly for a three-hour period to support the garden’s collective operating costs, or to recover expenses associated to the individual gardening activities of its members. These expenses can include tools, tool maintenance, water and electric costs, soil, seeds and plants for planting, permit or plot rental fees, and modest administrative costs. No permanent structure for retail sale can be constructed on site, but temporary stands or displays that can be rolled out then put away are permissible. We strongly suggest that the garden managers arrange for insurance liability coverage to protect the garden and the individual members from potential litigation associated to sale of the produce. In compliance with Florida law, illegal or controlled plants, such as marijuana, invasive species, such as Old World Climbing Ferns and Air Potato vines, and any noxious weeds as defined by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services rule 5B-57.007, or Palm Beach County’s Article 14C of the Unified Land Development Code are prohibited. Members of the garden are also prohibited from raising rabbits, poultry or other livestock. Gardens wishing to maintain beehives must comply with state statute FS 586.10 which regulates activities related to Honeybee hive locations, inspections and maintenance.See http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Displ ay_Statute&Search_String=586&URL=0500-0599/0586/Sections/0586.10.html Community Garden’s hours of operation shall be limited from dawn to dusk seven days a week, with the exception of the garden club’s administrative meetings and special events, which may occur after dark but must conclude by 10 pm. Evening events are limited to twice monthly. Gardeners are expected to keep noise levels low (radios, pets, children), and be mindful of the limited parking availability so as not to disturb adjacent neighbors nor impede normal traffic flow. No machinery can be operated before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 pm seven (7) days a week. Garden Design Community gardens are permitted aesthetic creativity in design and signage, but are expected to comply with the following standards. Garden plantings shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from the front property line and 3 feet from the interior side or rear property lines. The site design should take into consideration access to plots by the gardeners, as well as circulation through and around the gardened 6 areas. The garden layout and plots should not allow water, soil, and fertilizer run off onto adjacent properties or the public right-of-way. This can be achieved using raised boxed plots, small berms, planted swales, and the judicious placement of walking paths. Plants that grow taller than 5 feet should be placed in such a way that they do not encumber circulation, overhang the street, or impair visibility into the site, as this is a critical concern of law enforcement charged with public safety. A shed and/or a greenhouse, collectively no larger than 160 square feet, may be placed on site in a location that has the least negative aesthetic impact from the street and for the neighbors. Shed structures will require a building permit in keeping with Delray Beach’s Building Code. Compost shall be stored in an appropriate closed container that minimizes odors, prevents run-off, and does not allow the harborage of rodents and pests. Accessory composting may only occupy up to 7% of a ground-level community garden property. No composting operations or structures may be placed within 10 feet of property lines abutting a residential building. If the garden is in a residential or commercial zone, no composting operations or structures may be located in the first 15 feet of the front yard or a 10 feet of the side yard abutting a street. Composting activities and waste bins should be screened from view from the public and adjacent neighbors using plants, trellis or fencing. The compost activities must be carefully monitored so it is not a neighborhood nuisance. A perimeter fence is encouraged to delineate the space and deter intruders. Any new fence can be no higher than 4 feet on the primary frontage and front setback, and 6 feet on the side and rear line. Any new fence material on any street frontage should not be more than 75% opaque, and all fencing should complement the aesthetics of the garden and be maintained in good order. If the garden is fenced with a chain link fence which is not green or black vinyl coated, hedge plantings are required on the outside, in accordance with the city’s landscape code. Within the garden, appropriate outdoor furnishing including a picnic table, seating benches, open gazebo, trellis, potting workbench, water fountain/feature and bird feeders are permitted to enhance the enjoyment and aesthetic of the garden, so long as they do not pose a safety risk or invite unwanted loitering. No indoor furniture, household appliances, sports equipment, permanent barbeque grills, fire pits or non-functioning vehicles may be placed on the property. A portable barbeque grill may be used for special occasions and stored in the shed. No toxic materials, except for organic fertilizer or organic pesticide, may be stored on the property. Flammable materials, like gasoline or oil for motorized tools, are limited to one gallon for use for power tools, and must be in appropriate no-spill gasoline containers and stored in a locked and ventilated shed. Gardens may be adorned by art and sculpture so long as the aesthetic is agreeable to the community. The garden will be identified by signage on the street frontage that states the garden’s name and the street address. A second sign identifying general rules of conduct in the garden and contact information for the Community Garden manager should be placed prominently on the property’s interior. All signs should be no larger than 12 square feet and 5 feet tall. Garden Care and Maintenance Community gardens are intended as both a place of sustainable agricultural production and a community open-space amenity. As such, gardens should implement organic growing practices, employ water and energy conservation techniques, and most importantly, maintain an aesthetic that is pleasing to the surrounding community. Sustainable gardening practices are not prescriptive, but generally 7 prohibit the use of pesticides, herbicides, weed killers, or insecticides made from synthetic chemical materials. Washing or cleaning of equipment must not contaminate the soil. Soaps and detergents used on site must be biocompatible. Watering is critical to abundant production, however, gardens must also use natural resources prudently and avoid wasting water or having water run-off. Gardens should identify a source of water in their GMP and plan appropriately for water billing. Gardens may make arrangements with adjacent properties for a source of water, or request that an irrigation meter be installed. The garden will be responsible for the costs associated with the irrigation meter, (a ¾ inch pipe and meter runs approximately $1,300) and the cost of installing a spigot for service. The city will offer gardens the best rate available by law) Hand watering or supervised sprinkling provides a high degree of control and is the preferred, when possible. Automatic sprinkling is permitted, but care should be taken to minimize water waste and run-off of fertilizer, earth or groundcover. Garden’s should consider water harvesting infrastructure that would allow capture and storage of rain water in appropriate containers. It is critical that the garden be maintained to a high visual standard, one that is acceptable to neighbors and the City. A pleasing aesthetic is subjective, but includes at minimum, that: Plants be maintained at manageable height and density (no overgrowth that can reduce visibility); Weeds and dead or dried plants are removed, so that the garden’s assets are appreciated; Tools, water hose and garden materials are stored in an appropriate location or shed, and not left out after garden activities are completed; Un-used plots and non-farmed areas of the parcel are kept neat and free of overgrowth No litter or trash is left on the site; Compost bins are tended, their odor is minimal and the compost does not attract animals; Art and sculpture placed on the site must be proportionate and not offensive to the public; Fencing, signage and outdoor furniture, if installed, is maintained in good condition, repaired and repainted when necessary. The community garden’s manager as identified in the application and the participating garden members are responsible for ensuring that the garden is maintained at an acceptable standard. Trash and recycling generated at the site must be placed in appropriate containers and discarded weekly. Trash receptacles must be stored in a screened area and moved to the curb the evening before collection and moved away from the curbside as soon as possible after trash pick-up. The garden manager must monitor the site and ensure that any containers that may collect water are drained and dry to minimize mosquito breeding. Gardens that fail to maintain a pleasing appearance will be contacted by Delray Beach’s Code Enforcement Officers, and possibly cited. Complaints received by the city from neighbors or other stakeholders will be forwarded to the garden managers for remedy. The garden’s members must address the noted concerns within 15 days. Gardens with three or more citations within a 6-month period will be placed on probation; their Activities Report and renewal request will not be accepted until the concerns 8 are addressed. Gardens with five or more code citations in one calendar year are will not have their permits renewed. The garden will operate at the will of the owner or by the terms of the lease, and must vacate the land if the owner withdraws approval or the lease expires. At the time that the garden permanently ceases operation the garden manager must ensure that, the land is returned to a stable condition that preserves the integrity of the soil and the surrounding environment. Improvements on the lots should be removed and low, slow growing native vegetative ground cover should be installed. The garden’s assets, which may include the shed, machinery and materials used for the gardening activities belong to the gardening organization, unless specified differently in the land use agreement, and must be removed if the activities of the garden cease. Use of the property for the garden and its improvement does not provide the garden organization the rights of adverse possession. Administration At the heart of the community gardening concept is the communal aspect of collective work and responsibility. Thus, to initiate and operate a community garden at least three (3) non-related individuals must be involved in the garden’s operation. The garden management team must appoint one financially responsible party and an alternate to be listed as the contact person for official communication. The garden must have in place a Garden Management Plan (GMP). The GMP, is the garden’s operating policy document allowing the garden manager to control and enforce activities in the garden. For this reason, the City wants garden organizers to be thoughtful in creating the GMP. Among the topics addressed would be site plan/design, how plots are allocated or farmed in a communal garden model, distribution of the harvest among members in communal garden, appropriate plantings, and regulation of fertilizer, pesticide (only organic are permitted), water use, the standard of maintenance and appearance required for plots, gardener’s responsibility toward upkeep of the common areas, and the fee schedule for use of the garden. Gardens are expected to meet their financial obligations in terms of utility bills. The GMP should develop a budget that will allow the garden to be financially sustainable, thus projecting the amount of external funding and retail sales needed to keep the garden operating. If asked, the City will provide a letter of support to garden’s applying for external grant funding. In preparing the budget, it should be noted that a community garden is not an agricultural use. The property owner shall be prohibited from seeking an agricultural tax exemption afforded by the local, state or federal tax regulations. To protect both the property owner and the garden’s organizers, it is important that the garden management team obtain appropriate liability insurance, especially if the garden is growing produce for human consumption. At minimum, the garden members should sign a Release of Liability and Hold Harmless statement prior to working in the garden. These waivers must be printed, signed and kept current by the management team. A sample form used by other organizations and contact information of insurance companies that write policies for community gardens can be found on the webpage. 9 Community gardens are encouraged to develop a unique branding and an outreach program that contributes to its identity as a community asset and keeps both garden members and surrounding neighbors informed and engaged with the garden’s activities. Garden organizers should consider integrating educational activities into the garden operations; availing themselves of experts from local universities, schools and gardening clubs. Communication materials should provide information about the activities and contact information for the garden manager. Community outreach can take the form of a newsletter, a webpage, or an on-site sign posting upcoming events. Once a year, on the first of October, the garden is expected to provide the City an Activity Report and a renewal request. This form is available on the City’s website under the Sustainability tab and should be submitted to the Environmental Services Department. II. Application Package To establish a community garden, the organizers must prepare an Application Package comprised of: 1. An application form, which can be downloaded from: www.XXXXXXXXXXX 2. A liability insurance policy and/or policy statement of Release of Liability and Hold Harmless 3. The affidavit acknowledging the guidelines of the Delray Beach Community Garden Program. (Link to Affidavit) 4. Permission of Land Use agreement with the property owner. The form can be found at XXXX 5. A copy of Property Owners Warranty deed or Tax Record 6. A Garden Project Management Plan* (GMP) - see specifics below Please gather items 1 -5, attach 1,2 and 3 in one paperclip, and 4 and 5 in a separate paper clip. Item 6, The Garden Management Plan should be submitted as a bound booklet containing the site plan and any supporting information, the narrative section describing the policies and a cover including the name of the proposed garden and the contact information for the organizers. Submit the Application materials and the GMP together in one large envelop to the City’s Sustainability Officer at 434 S. Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, 33444. Once the application is received, it will be reviewed by the City’s Green Advancement Implementation Board for approval at one of the Board’s regularly scheduled meetings held the third Thursday morning of each month. The approval process may take up to 1 month, often less. Any deficiencies in the site plan or GMP will need to be corrected prior to approval and commencement of operations. *The Garden Management Plan (GMP) The Garden Management Plan (GMP) is created by the community garden organizers and its members, and lays out all the policies and rules pertaining to that garden, its operation and upkeep. The GMP is submitted as part of the Application Package for City approval, and becomes the document governing all member activities in that space. In this way, community members control and enforce their own rules for their garden. By requiring the garden organizers to take care in crafting a comprehensive GMP, the City 10 hopes that the garden manager has considered the complexities that might arise and is moving forward on the Community Garden project with a solid plan. There are many excellent examples of Garden Management Plans available on the internet. Garden organizers are encouraged to review several and borrow ideas and concepts from the best practices. Another approach is to take the items listed under #3, and create a heading for each bullet point. Under the heading, write text that paraphrases the language and intent of the policies outline in the Community Garden Policy Guideline section. Develop a sketch of the planned garden with key measurements included and place it as an appendix. Create a cover with the contact information, table of contents and bind the booklet. Each new member of the garden should be provided an opportunity to review the GMP before participating in the garden. The Garden Management Plan Document should include the following: 1. Contact information for garden manager and one alternate responsible for financial and maintenance oversight of the property. 2. A site plan (a sketch of the garden’s plan design, not to scale but with key measurements written in), description and photos describing: the number and size of plots, and or description of cooperative/communal model fencing materials, heights and location location of storage shed, greenhouse and composting area (if applicable) source of water and electrical types of plants planted (keeping in mind tree height and canopy issues) photos of the site, the adjacent parcels and parcels across the street 3. Narrative description of management and maintenance policies addressing: Name and address of Garden Days and hours of operation Summary Description – name of organization, goals and objectives of project What you can and can’t grow in the garden Minimum and maximum number of proposed users A description of how plots will be allotted to members and or description of cooperative/communal model and how products are distributed to members A proposed annual budget and fee schedule for garden members that ensures water utilities and other expenses are covered. The gardeners’ responsibilities in terms of plot maintenance and up-keep of common areas. An environmental sustainability policy prohibiting the use of non-organic pesticides, limiting fertilizer use, restricting invasive plant species and establishing a water conservation strategy. A description of composting activities, and location of these activities on the site with a focus on preventing unsightly appearance and unpleasant odors. Policy on the use and maintenance of mechanical equipment, particularly those that produce noise or odor or can easily result in injury. A sample of the Release of Liability and Hold Harmless statement each member will sign 11 A policy statement discussing access for children and pets, and use of the site for activities other than gardening. A description of how members will enforce their own rules. A description of any educational programming planned for the site, if applicable. A description of how the members of the garden and community can stay informed of garden initiatives and how the garden will foster community cohesion and cooperation. If you have established a webpage or social media account for the garden, please provide us the URL so we can create a link to the site from the City’s webpage. III. Activities Report Once a year, by the first week of October, the garden’s management team is required to submit an Activities Report summarizing the garden’s operations during the year and plans for the coming year. The Activity Report allows the City to track and develop metrics of the gardens’ operations, be aware and possibly provide assistance on issues that are problematic, and offer positive feedback or alert garden organizers to opportunities for growth and collaboration with other organizations. The Activity Report, which also serves as the request renewal form, asks for updated contact information, two current photos of the garden and responses to eight straight forward questions. If there is a change in leadership during the year, a new Activities Report should be submitted early so that the City maintains current contact information for the garden management team. It is available on the website for download. The Activity Report will be reviewed by the Green Implementation Advancement Board for approval. All gardens in good standing that submit an Activities Report will typically be viewed favorably. The GIAB may also provide feedback to address any issues raised about the garden’s condition, or recommend that the garden be closed down, if the garden is not upholding the standards of their GMP. Garden’s denied a renewal request will be given the opportunity to remedy the issues raised and resubmit the Activities Report, the following month. In this case, it is recommended that representatives of the garden attend the GIAB meeting to discuss the garden’s activities with the Board. Contacts For questions about application or approval process, please contact Dr. Ana Puszkin-Chevlin, Sustainability Officer at 561 243-7324, or puszkinA@mydelraybeach.com For questions about sale of produce and/or flowers at the Delray Beach Green Market please contact Laurie Nolan at the Community Redevelopment Agency 561 276-8640 12 MEMO To: Planning & Zoning Staff From: Ana Puszkin-Chevlin, Sustainability Officer Date: January 11, 2017 Re: Community Garden Program and Guidelines Background: In June of 2011, the City of Delray Beach adopted new land development regulations pertaining to community gardens. The city sought to control the site design, appearance and operation of gardens that were being established as some resident were uncomfortable about the garden locations and aesthetics. While the City seeks to encourage sustainable practices, including local production of food and plants, the LDRs adopted in Section 4.3.3 (D) created several hurdles that substantially hinder the establishment of community gardens, while not effectively curtailing the perceived nuisances they were intended to eliminate. By late 2015, community garden advocates and city staff concluded that policy approach of regulation via LDR may not be appropriate for community gardens, as these activities are simply collective gardening, a low intensity use that is widely permitted on private property. The Sustainability Officer of the City at the time was asked to frame a new policy approach that reduced the burdens created by the LDR, but also addressed the concerns over aesthetics, proper management and oversight. It was also determined that while the City of Delray Beach supports the community garden movement, the City was not in the position to create a city-sponsored and operated community garden. Additionally, in consultation with the Planning and Zoning Department, it was concluded that activities related to urban agriculture should be separated into two broad categories, Urban Farming, which would require new LDR language, and Community Gardens, which should be removed from the LDR and managed through a more flexible “program” that was city-organized, but and citizen-regulated. A new Sustainability Officer joined the City in April 2016 and began framing a new Community Garden Program and crafting policy guidelines that would balance the interest of the garden advocates, community residents and policymakers. After researching state regulations and programs in several Florida cities, as well as reviewing exemplary models in other states, the proposed Community Garden Program and associated Garden Policy Guidelines were drafted. The program is comprised of submitting an Application Package that is reviewed and approved by the City’s Green Implementation Advisory Board (GIAB). The application package consists of forms that document the garden’s location and leadership, a land-use agreement between the garden organizers and property owner, an affidavit acknowledging review of Delray Beach’s Community Garden Program guidelines, and most importantly, the preparation and submission of a written Garden Management Plan (GMP). The GMP, which is created by the garden’s members, is the key document that describes all the operations and rules governing that specific garden, including its design, operations, maintenance and the responsibilities of its members. Each GMP will be unique, but all must reflect the guidelines established in Delray’s Community Garden Program. By clarifying public expectations around community garden activities, documenting the garden management’s approach, the City hopes to avoid adverse environmental impacts or incompatible land uses, thus allowing community gardens to be created and operate outside of the formalized Local Development Regulations. Additionally, the Community Garden Program requires submission of an annual Activities Report, which is reviewed by the Green Implementation Advancement Board. This allows the city to receive updated contact information, track and promote the garden’s successes, provide assistance if necessary, and withhold approval to continue operating if the garden fails to comply with their GMP, or the community has noted numerous complaints about the garden’s operation. To capture the depth and breadth of the program, one should read the Community Garden Program materials attached and review the forms and requirements for the Application Package. Nevertheless, to facilitate a review of the new policy guidelines, a comparison of the Community Garden Program guidelines and the current LDRs is provided below. This summary does not include all the details, but rather highlights the similarities and differences that are of typical concern to Delray Beach residents. Existing LDR Language New Community Garden Policy Guidelines LDR Section Appearance 4.3.3 (D) 2a All community gardens on single- family lots within Single-Family Residential, Low Density Residential, and Medium Density Residential zoning districts, shall require administrative plan approval through the Community Improvement Department Community Gardens can be located in any zoning district, and not just on Single Family lots.

Background: In June of 2011, the City adopted amendments to the land development regulations pertaining to community gardens. The City sought to control the site design, appearance and operation of gardens that were being established, as some resident were uncomfortable about the garden locations and aesthetics. The new regulations created several hurdles that substantially hinder the establishment of community gardens, while not effectively curtailing the perceived nuisances they were intended to eliminate. By late 2015, community garden advocates and City staff concluded that the regulatory approache may not be appropriate for community gardens, as these activities are simply collective gardening, a low intensity use that is widely permitted on private property. City staff was asked to frame a new policy to address the concerns over aesthetics, proper management and oversight. Additionally, in consultation with the Planning and Zoning Department, it was concluded that activities related to urban agriculture should be separated into two broad categories. Urban Agriculture, in the form or urban farming would be regulated by new LDR language. Community Gardens, would be removed from the LDR; managed through a more flexible “program” that was citizen-organized, included oversite by the Green Implementation Advancement Board, but could ultimately be enforced by the City. In May of 2016, a new Community Garden Program was crafted aimed to balance the interest of the garden advocates, community residents and policymakers. State regulations and community garden programs in several Florida cities were examined, as well as exemplary models in other states. Organizers of the local community gardens were provided copies of the text and their comments and concerns were incorporated into the draft document. The program concept, the forms and reports, and the guidelines for design, operations and maintenance were vetted by the GIAB, which recommended approval at their July 21, 2016 meeting.

The local production of fruits, vegetables and herbs promotes healthy diets, addresses urban food deserts and mitigates food insecurity by allowing gardeners to supplement food purchases or donate surplus harvest to organizations that provide assistance to those in need. Moreover, Community Gardens with plants and flowers provide bird, bee and butterfly habitat and offer opportunity for social gathering, recreation, education, and beautification of the community. A Community Garden is defined as a green garden space, often within urbanized areas, that is communally cared for and cultivated. A Community Garden may consist of individually worked plots or communally tended areas and grow horticulture plants, trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, and herbs primarily for the use of those involved in the project. Community Gardens differ from Urban Farms, which are commercial operations that sell goods and services to the public for profit. Urban Farms may be small and have the likeness of a Community Garden, but they are regulated under the Section 4.3.3 D “Urban Agriculture” section of the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The City of Delray Beach supports the Community Garden movement and has developed this Community GardenPolicyto facilitate theestablishment of Community Gardens in the City. The City shall promulgate administrative guidelines to further the goals of this Policy. By clarifying public expectations around Community Gardens, the City hopes to avoid adverse environmental impacts and incompatible land practices within communities sometimes associated with Community Gardens. Although the City has adopted this Community Garden Policy, the City neither sponsors nor organizes Community Gardens. Instead, local residents are encouraged to organize a gardening club, identify suitable land for establishing the garden and develop their own plan to regulate and enforce the activities and operation of their garden. In this way, community members control and enforce their own rules for their garden.Community Gardens must also comply with all applicable rules, regulations, laws, and ordinances of the City of Delray Beach. Once a Community Garden is properly established, the City will endeavor to aid itsactivities by promoting the Community Garden and its activities with a link on the City’s Sustainability webpage, facilitating the garden’s collaboration with the Delray Green Market, and providing other support as appropriate. Adopted May 16, 2016 Community Garden Locations Community Gardens can be established on vacant parcels or concurrent with structures containing other land uses in any zoning district. Roofs of multifamily or condominium apartment buildings may also be used for Community Gardens so long as the plantings are containerized in pots or planters and not integrated within the roof membrane. Green roof installations designed as part of the structure should be reviewed by the City’s Building Department. Use of City-owned land for Community Gardens will be allowed only upon City approval of a Revocable License agreement. Community Garden organizers are encouraged to discuss plans for creating a Community Garden with owners of adjacent properties in order to foster good will within the community and to set expectations as to the aesthetics and activities of the Community Garden. Soil IfCommunity Gardens grow food for human consumption, Community Gardenorganizers are encouraged to research previous uses on the site to determine whether the soil could be contaminated with toxic substances. Residential land is less likely to be contaminated, but former industrial land could potential pose a risk. Community Garden organizers are encouraged to test soils on sites that may be contaminated, or use a raised bed garden plot so that the Community Garden is not exposed to site pollutants. Community Garden organizers may also choose to get a soil analysis performed by University of Florida (UF) in order to learn about the soil’s nutrient content. Forms for submitting soil samples are provided by UF Agricultural Extension, and a link to this website can be found in the Community Garden section of the City’s website. Community Garden Activities The primary activities associated with a Community Garden are the cultivation of horticulture plants, fruits, vegetables and herbs for the consumption and enjoyment of the Community Garden’s members. The City encourages Community Gardens be used for recreation, education and wellbeing, and to supplement food needs. Community Gardens can also be used to create and store compost for on-site use, and may store garden-related tools and materials, subject to the applicable rules, regulations, laws, and ordinances of the City of Delray Beach. Additionally, because a garden is intended to build community pride, it may be used as a meeting place for educational programs, fundraising events and administrative meetings on a limited basis. Food Production The City does not intend for Community Gardens to be commercial operations, thus Community Gardens are not permitted to grow produce, plants and flowers, or create compost primarily to profit from their sale. Organizers of Community Garden that wish to grow and sell produce and plants for profit should review the Section 4.3.3 (D) “Urban Agriculture” of the Land Development Regulations and seek a permit for an Urban Farm. Unlike agricultural uses taking place on agriculturally zoned land, the property owner Adopted May 16, 2016 of a Community Garden may not be eligible for agricultural tax exemptions offered by local, state or federal taxing authorities. Community Gardens that grow food are encouraged to donate surplus food to organizations that help feed less privileged members of the community.Community Gardenmembers may sell surplus food preferably at a community green market (like the Delray Green Market) or on site, subject to applicable guidelines, to support the garden’s collective operating costs, or to recover expenses associated to the individual gardening activitiesof its members. These expensescan include tools, tool maintenance, water and electric costs, soil, seeds and plants for planting, permit or plot rental fees, and modest administrative costs. No permanent structure for retail sale can be constructed on site, but temporary stands or displays may be allowed subject to applicable rules, regulations, laws, and ordinances of the City of Delray Beach. Prohibited plant species and animals In compliance with Florida law, illegal or controlled plants, including invasive species, such as Old World Climbing Ferns and Air Potato vines, and any noxious weeds as defined by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services rule 5B-57.007, or Palm Beach County’s Article 14C of the Unified Land Development Code are prohibited in Community Gardens. Community Gardens are also prohibited from housing rabbits,poultry or other livestock. Honeybees may be allowed subject to the state regulations regarding hive locations, inspections and maintenance as further set forth in Section 586.10, Florida Statutes. Design of Community Gardens The City encourages aesthetic creativity in the design of the Community Gardens. The site will be subject to setback requirements and site design should take into consideration access to plots by the gardeners, as well as circulation through and around the gardened areas. The Community Gardenlayout and plots should not allow water, soil, and fertilizer run-off onto adjacent properties or the public right-of-way. This can be achieved by using raised boxed plots, small berms, planted swales, and the judicious placement of walking paths. Plants that grow taller than 5 feet should be placed in such a way that they do not encumber circulation, overhang the street, impair visibility into the site, or otherwise create a public safety hazard. Composting Compost shall be stored in an appropriate closed container that minimizes odors, prevents run-off, and does not allow the harborage of rodents and pests. Accessory composting may only occupy up to seven (7%) of a ground-level community garden property. No composting operations or structures may be placed within 5 feet of property lines abutting a residential building. If the Community Garden is in a residential or commercial zone, no composting operations or structures may be located in the first 15 feet of the front yard or a 10 feet of the side yard abutting a street. Composting activities and waste bins must be screened from view from the public and adjacent neighbors using plants, trellis or fencing. The compost activities must be carefully monitored so it is not a neighborhood nuisance. Buildings, Fences, and other Furnishings A shed and/or a greenhouse may be allowed in a Community Garden subject to the applicable rules, Adopted May 16, 2016 regulations, laws, and ordinances of the City of Delray Beach. A perimeter fence is encouraged to delineate the space and deter intruders. Before constructing a shed or a perimeter fence, organizers of the Community Garden should contact the City’s Building Department to determine whether a permit is required. Within the Community Garden, appropriate outdoor furnishing including a picnic table, seating benches, open gazebo, trellis, potting workbench, water fountain/feature and bird feeders are encouraged to enhance the enjoyment and aesthetic of the garden, so long as they do not create a public safety hazard or invite unwanted loitering. Signage Community Gardens shall be identified by signs that face the street that state the name of Community Garden and the street address. A second sign identifying general rules of conduct in the Community Garden and contact information for the Community Garden manager should be placed prominently on the interior of the Community Garden. All exterior signs must comply with the City’s sign code. Garden Care and Maintenance Community Gardens are intended as both a place of sustainable agricultural production and an open space for the community. As such, it is recommended that Community Gardens implement sustainable growing practices, employ water and energy conservation techniques, and most importantly, maintain an aesthetic that is pleasing to the surrounding community. Sustainable gardening practices generally prohibit the use of pesticides, herbicides, weed killers, or insecticides made from synthetic chemical materials. Washing or cleaning of equipment must not contaminate the soil. Soaps and detergents used on site must be biocompatible. Irrigation Watering is critical to abundant production. Community Gardens must also use natural resources prudently and avoid wasting water or having water run-off. Community Gardens should identify a source of water in their site plan and plan appropriately for utility bills, if any. Community Gardens may make arrangements with adjacent properties for a source of water, or request that an irrigation meter be installed. The Community Garden will be responsible for the costs associated with the irrigation meter and the cost of installing a spigot for service. Hand watering or supervised sprinkling provides a high degree of control and is the preferred, when possible. Automatic sprinkling is permitted, but care should be taken to minimize water waste and run-off of fertilizer, earth or groundcover. It is recommended that Community Gardens contain a water harvesting infrastructure that would allow capture and storage of rain water in appropriate containers. Trash collection The Community Gardens manager and the participating garden members are responsible for ensuring that the garden is maintained at an acceptable standard. Trash and recycling generated at the site must be placed in appropriate containers and discarded weekly.

(FIRST READING) Recommended Action: Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 17-17 on First Reading. Background: In March 2005,the City Commission approved Ordinance No.05-05 that modified the Sidewalk Cafe regulations by increasing setbacks from street curbing from 2’to 5’.Increasing the setback was intended to improve safety for Sidewalk Cafes and support better pedestrian flow through the sidewalk cafe areas.Ordinance No.05-05 had a provision to allow the previous setback to remain in effect until the next permit renewal cycle,which occurred in October of that year.The Sidewalk Cafe regulations were amended again in July of that year (Ordinance No.51-05).This amendment added the words “…outside whether on public or private property (excluding interior courtyard seating which is subject to parking requirements) …” . As the Clean and Safe Staff enforced the new Sidewalk Cafe regulations,many of the Sidewalk Cafe Operators could not meet the new requirements.The new regulations also resulted in the decrease of the number of tables and chairs.It became apparent that the regulations were not meeting the goals established by the City.The current regulations have resulted in many complaints from the Sidewalk Cafe Operators and resulted in eight waiver requests since adoption. At the City Commission Workshop meeting in November 2015,Community Improvement Staff presented the challenges of the regulations.The discussion resulted in recommendations to City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/10/2017Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-418,Version:1 presented the challenges of the regulations.The discussion resulted in recommendations to remove the reference of sidewalk cafes on private property and allowed for different configurations of the Sidewalk Cafe widths based on geographical areas of the City.For instance,the area along Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal has the most number of cafes and pedestrians that affect the level of service of the sidewalks. Therefore,a Sidewalk Cafe may be located on one side with a 6’clear pedestrian pathway and may be located on both sides if a 7’clear pedestrian pathway is provided.In other areas of the city, the Sidewalk Cafe may be located on both sides with a 6’ clear pedestrian pathway. As this proposed amendment was being drafted,the City was contacted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)requesting the City enter into a “Leasing Agreement”to collect rental fees for those Sidewalk Cafes and valet queues located in their right-of-ways along East Atlantic Avenue and on South Ocean Boulevard (affects approximately 12 Sidewalk Cafes).This Leasing Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and the FDOT was approved at the City Commission meeting of May 17,2016.The ability to collect those fees is included in the proposed Ordinance No.17-17. Proposed Ordinance: The following summarizes the amendments proposed in Ordinance No. 17-17: The definition of a Sidewalk Cafe was updated to add clarification to the location of the Sidewalk Cafe to better distinguish it from other outdoor dining areas.The updated definition is as follows: Definition:A “Sidewalk Cafe”is a group of tables with chairs grouping of dining furniture which may include tables and chairs and associated articles,which has been approved by the City through a Sidewalk Cafe permit and is situated and maintained outside within a public right-of-way,a portion of which may be located in a public pedestrian way (sidewalk),between the building front (and/or side for corner lots)and the curb at the edge of the roadway whether on public or private property (excluding interior courtyard seating which is subject to parking requirements);and such area is used for the consumption of food and beverages sold to the public from an adjoining restaurant or other eligible business.All tables and chairs,and associated articles must be located within the sidewalk Cafe permit area.Sidewalk Cafes are allowed only when in compliance with this Section. Permit and Fees: 1.If the initial Sidewalk Cafe permit or any renewal permit is cancelled,a new application fee is required for any subsequent permits issued. 2.Fees are removed from the ordinance and shall be adopted by resolution that will be presented at the second reading of this ordinance. 3.Additional “leasing fees”shall be collected for any Sidewalk Cafe located in the FDOT right- of-way along East Atlantic Avenue and along South Ocean Boulevard. 4.The City may cancel a Sidewalk Cafe permit without notice if the payment,along with accrued late fees is not fully paid by October 1 of any renewal period. 5.Due to the change in the definition,any existing establishment that currently has a Sidewalk Cafe permit but no longer fits the definition,is granted a one (1)year period to either modify their site plan to seek approved for an outdoor dining area or to remove the City of Delray Beach Printed on 5/10/2017Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:17-418,Version:1 furniture from the public pedestrian way. Regulations Governing the Use,Design,and Maintenance of a Sidewalk Cafe:Two figures were added to provide graphical examples of the regulations.Regulations were added to require a minimum height of 7’for all umbrellas and canopy’s within a Sidewalk Cafe area and that the barrier that defines the Sidewalk Cafe area shall be 3’ in height. Establishes two geographic zones for regulating the location of the clear pedestrian pathways and widths: ZONE-1:This is defined as the area East-to-West between Swinton Avenue and the Intercostal Waterway on Atlantic Avenue,and North-to-South between NE/SE 1st Streets (Clean and Safe Boundary).A map was added to show this area.Within Zone 1,a Sidewalk Cafe may be establishes on only one side of the required 6’clear pedestrian pathway and on both sides if a 7’ clear pedestrian pathway is provided. ZONE-2:This is defined as all geographical areas of the City that are outside of Zone 1. Within Zone 2,a Sidewalk Cafe may be established on both sides of the required 6’pedestrian pathway. In both zones,if the area adjacent to the curb is interrupted by street furniture,trees,tree grates or similar impediments,the sidewalk cafe operator may provide for a six foot (6’)clear pedestrian path commencing from the edge of the impediment closest to the building façade for a distance of six feet (6’) towards the building. Signage:The proposed ordinance eliminates the specific types of additional signs (i.e.menu boards) and allows for one additional business sign for Sidewalk Cafes. At its meeting of April 17,2017,the Planning and Zoning (P&Z)Board recommended approval of Ordinance No.17-17 on a vote of 5 to 0 (Joycelyn Patrick and Leslie Marcus absent).The P&Z Board raised the following issues: -The Board suggested that the definition of sidewalk cafe,Section 6.3.3 (A)is reworded so that seating is not limited to just tables and chairs as a restaurant may wish to include other furniture. -That a graphic illustration is included in the ordinance to show the area that is a sidewalk cafe versus outdoor seating on private property. - That all references to signs are removed from the sidewalk cafe regulations. Subsequent to the P&Z Board meeting Ordinance No.17-17 was revised to modify the definition of sidewalk cafe and to provide content neutral language with respect to signage. City Attorney Review: Approved as to form and legal sufficiency. Finance Department Review: Not Applicable.

Glickstein, Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ City Clerk First Reading ________________ Second Reading ________________ PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: April 17, 2017 ITEM: VIII.A AGENDA ITEM: File Number 2017-130: ORDINANCE 17-17 – CITY INITIATED AMENDMENT AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH; AMENDING SECTION 6.3.3 SIDEWALK CAFE TO ELIMINATE REGULATIONS FOR SIDEWALK CAFES LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, PROVIDE GEOGRAPHIC REGULATIONS, LEASING FEES; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission regarding Ordinance 17-17, a City-initiated amendment to LDR Section 6.3.3, “Sidewalk Cafes”, to remove the reference to maintaining sidewalk cafes on “private” property, amending Subsections (A)(2), “Permit and Fees” to add collection of leasing fees, amending Subsection (F)(5); and adding Section (F)(5) & (6), “Regulations Governing Use, Design, and Maintenance of a Sidewalk Café to establish regulations by geographical zones. Sidewalk Cafes are regulated in the LDR’s under ARTICLE 6.3 USE AND WORK IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. This amendment will remove the reference to regulating sidewalk cafes on “private” property and establish clear pedestrian pathway widths by Geographical Zones to better manage the downtown core area to accommodate different pedestrian thresholds. BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION In March of 2005, the City Commission approved Ordinance No.05-05 that modified the Sidewalk Cafe regulations increasing setbacks from curbing from 2’ to 5’ and the width of the pedestrian pathways from 5’ to 6’. Increasing the dimensions was to improve safety issues and pedestrian flow. The Ordinance had a provision to allow the existing dimensions to prevail until the next permit renewal cycle which occurred in July. As the Clean and Safe staff started monitoring and enforcing the new sidewalk regulations, many of the sidewalk cafe operators could not meet the requirements which resulted in the decrease of the number of tables and chairs. Through this process it became apparent that the regulations were not meeting the goals and values of the City as it resulted in many Sidewalk Cafe Operator complaints that lead to 8 waiver requests and a Commission who Planning and Zoning Board Meeting of 04.17.17 LDR Amendments re: Ordinance 17-17 Revisions to §6.3.3 Sidewalk Cafe 2 wished to be supportive of the economic benefits of the sidewalk cafes while ensuring the safety of pedestrians and ADA requirements were met. In November of last year at a workshop meeting, staff presented to the City Commission the challenges of the regulations and obtained their input. The outcome of those discussion resulted in recommendations to remove the reference of sidewalk cafes on private property as they felt the property owners should be responsible for regulating ADA Requirements and set different pedestrian pathway widths based on geographical areas of the City. For instance, that area along Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal has the most number of cafes and pedestrians that impact the sidewalks. Therefore their widths would be wider than in other areas of the city outside of the downtown core where the pedestrian flow is less impacting. As the amendment to the Ordinance was being created, the City was contacted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requesting the City enter into a “leasing agreement” to collect rental fees for those cafes and valet ques located in their right-of- ways along East Atlantic Avenue and on South Ocean Boulevard (affects approximately 12 cafes).
