REZONING OF THE 0.18 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED AT 145 SW 12TH AVENUE
FROM MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RM) TO
COMMUNITY FACILITIES (CF)
The action requested of the City Commission is approval of a zoning change from RM (Medium
Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) for Lot 12 Block 6 Atlantic Gardens Delray
Subdivision to accommodate the City of Delray Beach Community Land Trust (CL T) office.
The subject property is more specifically described as Lot 12, Block 6, Atlantic Gardens Delray,
containing 7,840 square feet. Development on the property consists of a 1,330 sq. ft. one-story, three
bedroom and two bath, single family dwelling built in 1988, which is currently owned by the City of
Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
The RM zoning district does not allow community centers as either a principal or conditional use, thus
a rezoning application is being requested to change the existing zoning designation from RM (Medium
Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities).
Immediately to the north of this parcel is the city owned Neighborhood Resource Center. The
proposed change seeks to apply a zoning designation which is more consistent with the adjacent use
and complements the needs of the neighborhood. Additional background and an analysis of the
request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report.
At its meeting of December 18, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in
conjunction with the request. There was no public testimony in support of, or opposition to the
proposal. After reviewing the staff report and discussing the proposal, the Board voted 6-0 to
recommend to the City Commission approval of the rezoning, by adopting the findings of fact and law
contained in the staff report, and a finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, the Southwest Area Neighborhood Development Plan, and meets the criteria set forth in
Sections 3.1.1, 3.2.2, and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations.
Move approval of the rezoning from RM (Multiple Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) by
adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment
Plan, and meets the criteria set forth in Sections 3.1.1, 3.2.2, and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land
Development Regulations, with second reading to occur at a public hearing on January 16, 2006.

The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a rezoning
from RM (Medium Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) for Lot 12 Block 6 Atlantic
Gardens Delray Subdivision to accommodate the City of Delray Beach Community Land Trust
(CL T) office.
The RM zoning district does not allow community centers as either a principal or conditional use, thus
a rezoning application is being requested by the Delray Beach CRA to change the zoning designation
from RM (Medium Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities).
The subject property, more specifically described as Lot 12, Block 6, Atlantic Gardens Delray,
consists of approximately 7,840 square feet. The property contains 1,330 sq. ft. one-story, three
bedroom and two bath, single family dwelling built in 1988, which is currently owned by the Delray
Beach CRA.
In the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, adopted by the City Commission on June
2, 2003, the property was assigned to the Northwest Quadrant, which is one of five sub-areas
designated as a study area. In addition to the most recently rezoned Neighborhood Resource Center
(immediately to the north), eight other sites in this sub-area are currently zoned as Community
Facilities (CF). The proposed development is consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the
Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan relative to this study area.
Immediately to the north of this parcel is the city owned Neighborhood Resource Center. This facility
serves as a community center, designed to assist residents with building stronger, safer communities
by empowering residents through workshops to build leadership skills and providing assistance to
residents tailored to the needs of the community.
Given the immediate success of this facility, the city now desires to expand its efforts to include a
Community Land Trust office which will compliment the existing Neighborhood Resource Center by
offering additional opportunities for self empowerment to its residents by providing home ownership
opportunities.
This facility will be owned by the Delray Land Trust which is a private, not-for-profit organization. It
has been established primarily to acquire assets and then hold them in perpetuity for local use.
However, it may also meet the needs of the community by offering a means to accomplish each of
the following:
. Buying, developing and holding land, housing, community buildings and services
for the benefit of local people;
. Attracting investment for projects from local individuals and private companies,
as well as, public and voluntary bodies;
. Providing space for workshops and offices, and offering rental options to residents;
. Re-investing growing income from rents in new social and economic provision;
. Engaging local people and organizations in the control and management of
community assets;
PZB Report
Page 2 of 9
. Bringing together a wide spectrum of different partners to produce
interdependent solutions;
. Mobilizing the goodwill and services of local professional and skilled people.
The office is proposed to accompany and reside adjacent to the Neighborhood Resource Center,
which was recently rezoned from RM to CF, by the City Commission on June 20, 2006 through City
Ordinance No. 32-06. The expansion of the existing Neighborhood Resource Center by adding
facilities for the Community Land Trust office, further supports the commitment of the City
Commission to create quality neighborhoods where people want to live through citizen involvement in
the decision-making processes, and collaborative partnerships.
Furthermore, the requested CF zoning is of similar intensity as RM, and is more appropriate for the
property based upon current circumstances particular to this site and neighborhood.
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS CHAPTER 3 - PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1, prior to approval of Land Use applications, certain findings
must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through
information on the application, written materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report,
or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny
the development application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM),
Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations.
o Future Land Use Map: The resulting use of land or structures must be allowed in the
zoning district within which the land is situated and said zoning must be consistent with
the applicable land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of MD (Medium Density Residential
5-12 du/ac). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21, the CF (Community Facilities) zoning district is a
special purpose zoning district primarily, but not exclusively, intended for locations at which
facilities are provided to serve public, semi-public and private purposes. The CF District is
deemed compatible with all land use designations shown on the Future Land Use Map.
Principal Uses and Structures Allowed:
Pursuant to LDR Sections 4.4.21 (B)(1) and 4.4.21 (B)(2), the following types of uses are allowed
within the CF District as a permitted use:
. Governmental, such as civic centers, courts, courthouses, temporary holding facilities, fire
stations, governmental offices, public health facilities, law enforcement offices and facilities,
post offices, public utility facilities (Le. lift stations), water storage tanks, water treatment
plants, water wells, wastewater treatment plants, and drainage facilities.
. Community, such as civic centers, community theater, cultural facilities and auditoriums, arts
and crafts centers, libraries, museums, public parking lots and garages.
PZB Report
Page 3 of 9
The proposed Community Land Trust office serves as both a governmental office and a
community resource center, thus it is deemed consistent with its existing Future Land Use
Map designation of MD (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac).
D Concurrency: Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
Concurrency as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan must be met and a determination made that the public facility needs,
including public schools, of the requested land use and/or development application will not
exceed the ability of the City and The School District of Palm Beach County to fund and provide,
or to require the provision' of needed capital improvements in order to maintain the Levels of
Service Standards established in Table CI-GOP-1 of the adopted Comprehensive Plan of the City
of Delray Beach.
Drainaoe: With this rezoning request, drainage plans are not required. No drainage problems
have been identified with regards to the existing building. Thus, problems are not anticipated
related to retaining drainage on site or obtaining any building permits, if and when required.
Traffic: Traffic for the facility directly adjacent to the Community Land Trust office on the north,
was recently analyzed for the Neighborhood Resource Center. Utilizing a community center
traffic rate, the traffic impact is estimated at 12 daily trips with three (3) AM three (3) PM peak
trips. These trips can be easily absorbed by the surrounding street network and no traffic
concurrency issues are noted.
Solid Waste: Based upon the Solid Waste Authority's typical waste generation rates, the
proposed Community Land Trust office would generate an estimated maximum of 19.2 tons of
waste annually. The Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity
to handle all development proposals until the year 2021.
Schools: School concurrency findings do not apply for non-residential uses. Thus, the proposed
development will not have an impact with respect to this level of service standard.
Parks and Recreation: Non-residential uses are not considered to have an impact on the City's
Parks and Recreation facilities.
D Consistency: The requested designation is consistent with the goals, objectives and
policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The following applicable Comprehensive Plan objective and policies are noted:
Future Land Use Element Policv A-1. 7: Amendments to the FLUM must be based upon the
findings listed below, and must be supported by data and analysis that demonstrate
compliance with these findings:
Demonstrated Need: That there is a need for the requested land use. The need must be
based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes in the
availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations of the
surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy, annexation into
the municipal boundaries, or similar circumstances. The need must be supported by data
PZB Report
Page 4 of 9
and analysis verifying the changing demographics or other circumstances. This
requirement shall not apply to requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or
Recreation and Open Space; nor shall it apply to FLUM changes associated with
annexations when the City's Advisory FLUM designation is being applied, or when the
requested designation is of a similar intensity to the Advisory designation. However, the
findings described in the remainder of this policy must be addressed with all FLUM
amendments.
As mentioned in the "Background Analysis" section, the Community Land Trust office is proposed
to accompany and reside adjacent to the Neighborhood Resource Center, which was recently
rezoned from RM to CF. The expansion of this community resource encourages citizen
involvement in the decision-making processes and collaborative partnerships. The requested CF
(Community Facilities) zoning is of similar intensity as RM (Multiple Family Residential), and is
more appropriate for the property based upon current circumstances particular to this site and
neighborhood.
Future Land Use Element Obiective A-1: Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a
manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate in terms of soil, topographic
and other applicable physical considerations; is complimentary to adjacent land uses; and
fulfills remaining land use needs.
There are no significant environmental characteristics to the subject property. The future
redevelopment of the property as a Community Land Trust office will be compatible with the
adjacent land uses, which consists of primarily single family residences and the Neighborhood
Resource Center to the north.
Future Land Use Element Policv C-1.7: The following pertains to the Southwest
Neighborhood Redevelopment Area:
This area is generally defined as the area bounded by West Atlantic Avenue on the north,
SW 10th Street on the south, Interstate-95 on the west, and Swinton Avenue on the east.
Many of the parcels in the area contain vacant or dilapidated structures, substandard
parking and substandard landscaping. The area also contains residential areas identified
as "Rehabilitation" on the Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map contained in the
Housing Element.
The Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City
Commission at its meeting of June 3, 2003. The Plan establishes a blueprint for the
revitalization and stabilization of the area. The Southwest Area Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan is divided into five sub-areas based upon current and proposed land
uses. The sub-areas serve to define potential boundaries for the phased implementation
of the various plan components. Future development in the area must be in accordance
with the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan.
The subject property resides with the boundaries of the Southwest Area Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan, and is more specifically located within the Northwest Quadrant sub-area.
The Northwest Quadrant is bounded by Atlantic Avenue on the north, SW 3rd Street on the south,
1-95 on the west, and SW 8th Avenue on the east. The plan for this area calls for substantial
redevelopment of property north of 2nd Street to include neighborhood-oriented retail and office
PZS Report
Page 5 of 9
uses, as well as, multi-family apartment buildings, courtyard apartments, townhomes and limited
new single family development.
In addition, SW 1 ih Avenue remains as the primary north-south corridor for pedestrians and
vehicles, connecting the gateway park with the village green, the neighborhood greens at SW 2nd
Street, and the Village Academy and Service Center to the South.
With the Community Land Trust office being ideally located north of 2nd Street and fronting on the
major north-south corridor, 1 ih Avenue, the proposed development promises to be easily
noticeable and accessible to neighborhood residents.
Given the above, positive findings with the Comprehensive Plan can be made.
Future Land Use Element Policy C-4.2: The IIDowntown Delray Beach Master Plan"
was adopted by the City Commission on March 19, 2002. Covering the downtown business
districts surrounding the Atlantic Avenue corridor between 1-95 and A-1-A, it represents
the citizens' vision for the growth and unification of Delray Beach, while still retaining the
"village like, community by-the-sea" character of the CBD. The Plan addresses a wide
range of issues including infill development, neighborhood parks, shared parking, public
art, the roadway and alleyway systems, marketing/economic development, and the need to
modify the Land Development Regulations to include design guidelines to retain the
character of Delray Beach. Future development and redevelopment in this area shall be
consistent with the Master Plan.
The subject property resides within the study area of the downtown "Downtown Delray Beach
Master Plan" and is more specifically located within the West Atlantic Neighborhood. The
ideology within this study area is consistent with the concepts and recommendations found within
the "West Atlantic Development Plan". Thus, both plans should be considered when evaluating
any proposal for development or redevelopment in this district.
With the Community Land Trust office having a primary purpose of obtaining ownership of local
property and providing affordable housing opportunities for residents of Delray Beach, it promotes
the goals and objectives of the "Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan".
Housina Element Policv 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.
The development proposed herein is merely a rezoning to allow for the proposed use and
involves minimal modifications to the existing single family residential structure. The Community
Land Trust office will neither disrupt the aesthetic value of the neighborhood nor produce any
negative effects inclusive of, but not limited to: noise, dust, odors or disruptive traffic and
circulation problems. The facility will benefit the neighborhood by providing enhanced access to
vital services.
Based upon the above, positive findings with the Comprehensive Plan can be made.
PZB Report
Page 6 of9
o Compliance with LDRs: Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Whenever an item is identified elsewhere in these Land Development Regulations (LDRs), it shall
specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development
application/request. Such items are found in Section 2.4.5 and in special regulation portions of
individual zoning district regulations.
At this time, no physical improvements are proposed. If and when improvements are made (other
than internal modification) a site plan review will be required. No concerns meeting the LDR
requirements are anticipated.
o Compatibility: The requested designation will be compatible with the existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area.
As demonstrated in the following "Rezoning Analysis" section, the proposed zoning designation of
CF (Community Facilities) will be compatible with the existing and future land uses of the
surrounding area.
Future Land Use Map Consistency, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance
with the development criteria of the LDR were previously discussed under the "Future Land Use Map
Amendment Analysis" section of this report. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations
with respect to Standards for Rezoning Actions and Rezoning Findings are discussed below.
Section 3.2.2 (Standards for RezoninQ Actions): Standards "B", "C", and "E" are not
applicable with respect to this rezoning request. Standard "A" requires that the most restrictive
residential zoning district that is applicable given existing development patterns and typical lot sizes
shall be applied to those areas identified as "stable" and "stabilization" on the Residential
Neighborhood Categorization Map. Requests for rezonings to a different zoning designation, other
than Community Facilities, Open Space, Open Space and Recreation, or Conservation shall be
denied. This request is for Community Facilities, which is allowed under Section 3.2.2(A). Standard
"D" requires that the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with
adjacent and nearby land use both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that
sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use.

The subject property is bordered on the south, east and west by residential ,zoned properties
and accommodates a mix of single family and multiple family residences which are
compatible with the existing use. The adjacent property to the north is an existing community
facility which was recently rezoned from RM (Multiple Family Residential) to CF (Community
Facility). The Neighborhood Resource Center to the north, is compatible with the proposed
use of the subject property. The Community Land Trust office will also compliment the NRC,
and will be serving the same neighborhood residents. The facility will provide vital
neighborhood access to services in a neighborhood setting.
As demonstrated above, this request does not result in an incompatible land use, thus,
the proposed development can be found to be in compliance with section 3.2.2(D).
Section 2.4.5 (D) (5) (Rezoning Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5 (D) (5), Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(D) (5), in addition to
provisions of Chapter Three, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning
fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These
reasons include the following:
(a) That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in
error;
(b) That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning
inappropriate; or
(c) That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future
Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon
circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood.
The basis for which the rezoning should be granted, relates to the third bullet point above,
indicating that the parcel located at 145 SW 1ih Avenue is of similar intensity as allowed
under the FLUM and is more appropriate for the property based upon current circumstances
specific to this site and neighborhood.
The requested change to allow a CF (Community Facility) zoning designation for the
Community Land Trust office will further the goal of the City Commission to create quality
PZB Report
Page 8 of9
neighborhoods where people want to live. Equally, if not more important, it will address the
immediate needs of the neighborhood and its residents.
Community Redevelopment Aaency (CRA):
The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has submitted this application for
rezoning from RM to CF, in order to compliment the City's existing Neighborhood Resource Center.
It is anticipated that establishment of an independent Community Land Trust office, which will allow
residents to create and control community assets, will provide substantial long term social, cultural,
environmental and economic benefits.
Courtesy Notices: A special courtesy notice was provided to the following homeowners associations:
· Neighborhood Advisory Council
· Progressive Residents Of Delray (PROD)
. Bellehaven
. Atlantic Park Gardens
· President Council
Public Notices: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of
the subject property. Letters of objection and/or support, if any, will be presented at the Planning and
Zoning Board meeting.
Positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), LDR Section
3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), and the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, rezoning the subject property
from RM to CF is recommended for approval, based on the findings outlined herein.
A. Move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for the request for rezoning from
RM (Medium Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) for the subject property, 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 the Southwest Area
Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, and does meet the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(D)(5),
