MEMBERS ABSENT: Dave Bodker STAFF PRESENT: Paul Dorling, Wendy Shay, Scott Pape, Ron Hoggard, Loretta Heussi. II. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS A. Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant, Commercial Building, West Side of NW 5th Avenue, Approximately 300'North of West Atlantic Avenue, West Settlers Historic District, Donnie Dobson, Owner. Item Before the Board: The action before the Board is approval of a COA associated with a Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Design Elements, and a waiver for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(F). Ms. Shay presented the item to the Board. Mr. Pape stated that the west half of the property has been rezoned to CF along with a conditional use approved in October 2001 to provide for the parking area. He further described the need for the waiver request to reduce the landscape strips and the need to re- design the parking layout. Bob Fetrow, Gator Engineering Services, expressed his concerns over the liability of re-designing the two-way driveway. He further stated that if the two-way driveway was supported, that it would pose a hazard and that the loading zone should not be relocated as proposed by staff. 2/6/02 Douglas Crease, the owner's attorney, wished to clarify the needs of the owner and his concern over the economic feasibility of the project including the need to change the proposed light poles. Diane Dominguez, Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency, stressed the importance of this project with respect to the revitalization of NW 5th Avenue. She further stated that the site should be pedestrian oriented and that one-way traffic reduces conflicts with traffic patterns. Mr. Pape stated that reconfiguring and rotating the loading area was a suggestion by staff but not a requirement. Ms. Jamison inquired about whether the building is presently located where it will actually be set on the property with respect to the setbacks. Mr. Fetrow confirmed the building is in the correct place. Ms. McDermott inquired about the ADA accessible ramps for the pedestrian walk-up window. Mr. Fetrow stated that there is such as a ramp on the north side of the property only. Otherwise, the patron would have to go inside. Ms. McDermott also inquired about the potential of purchasing an additional, adjacent lot. Mr. Crease has been unable to reach the adjacent property owner(s) but hopes to do so within the next year. Mr. Simon inquired about the zoning. Mr. Pape stated that the east half is zoned GC, the west CF. The additional vacant parcel is zoned R-1-A. Mr. Simon inquired as to whether the additional lot would accommodate the parking. Mr. Crease concurred. Mr. Simon confirmed with staff that the zoning will not allow parking. Mr. Crease stated that the zoning may be altered if the property could be purchased. -2- HPB Minutes 2/6//02 Mr. Pape further confirmed that a unity-of-title would be necessary. Ms. Sloan inquired about the need for two-way traffic. Mr. Pape explained in greater detail the need for two-way traffic to flow all the way through the property. Mr. Dorling stated that the condition of approval to allow for two- way traffic was intended to address fire safety concerns and adequate maneuvering area. Mr. Fetrow stated that it would not be economically feasible to do so. Ms. Sexton inquired about the walk up window. Mr. Fetrow stated that the walk up window will be on the south side with the entrance to the building on the north side. He further stated that the light poles could interfere with reconfiguring the parking area. Mr. Simon confirmed with Mr. Dobson that he would prefer the pavers be installed along with 10' of landscaping. Ms. Dominguez confirmed that 7' of walkway would be appropriate. Mr. Pape requested that two of the compact spaces be striped out to provide for a turn around. Mr. Simon inquired about the functional vs. decorative design of the light poles. Mr. Dorling stated that the lighting requirement is consistent with what is found throughout the area. A discussion ensued regarding the need for decorative light poles throughout the site. The Board felt that decorative light poles, which match those found on Atlantic Avenue, be installed. Mr. Fetrow inquired about the condition of approval for the picket detail on the railing of the ADA accessible ramp. Mr. Pape clarified that they are to be decorative in nature. Mr. Simon inquired about the pattern of the proposed pavers. -3- HPB Minutes 2/6//02 Mr. Pape stated that the condition states that pavers are to match that found in the right-of-way as improvements proposed for the near future may change the pattern from the current one. Waiver Request After much discussion, it was moved by Mr. Simon, seconded by Ms. McDermott and passed 6-0 to approve the waiver from LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(d), to reduce the required 5' wide landscape strip to 2.5' along the south property line and 3' on the west side of the east portion of the property, based on positive findings with LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). Site Plan It was moved by Mr. Simon, seconded by Ms. McDermott and passed 6-0 to approve the COA and associated Class V site plan for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant based on positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards), Section 2.4.5(F)(5) (Finding of Compatibility) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to the following conditions: 1) Address all Site Plan and Engineering Technical Items and submit three (3) copies of the revised plans. 2) That a recorded unity-of-title must be provided prior to issuance of a building permit. 3) That the two compact spaces on the north side be striped out to design a maneuvering area and appropriate signage be provided denoting the turn around area. 4) That the landscape area between the building and the right-of- way be reduced to 3' and that a paver block area, with the style to be determined by the City, is provided. 5) That the light poles and fixtures be consistent with those proposed on Atlantic Avenue and that the overall height not exceed 25', subject to Board approval. Landscape Plan It was moved by Ms. McDermott, seconded by Mr. Simon and passed 6-0 to approve the COA and associated Landscape Plan for -4- HPB Minutes 2/6//02 Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant based on positive findings with respect to Section 4.6.16 of the Land Development Regulations, subject to the following conditions: 1) Address all Landscape Technical Items and submit three (3) copies of the revised plans. 2) That the 20' visibility triangle is noted on the landscape plan and that any obstructions are relocated in accordance with direction by the City Horticulturalist.

B. COA 469: Atlantic Grove, New Construction — Mixed Use, North 300 and 400 Blocks of West Atlantic Avenue, West Settler's Historic District, Tim Hernandez, Authorized Agent. Item Before the Board: The action before the Board is approval of COA-469 associated with a Landscape Plan and Architectural Elevations of the mixed use development proposal for Atlantic Grove, pursuant to LDR Sections 2.4.5(H) and (I). Ms. Shay presented the item to the board. Mr. Hernandez was present to represent the project and described the proposed changes. Mr. Hoggard described in detail the staff requested changes. Ms. Elliott inquired about interference of the roots from the trees. Mr. Hoggard explained how the landscaping will be contained with pavers. He further explained how inconsistencies in the previous plan were corrected. Mr. Hernandez described in detail the look of the elevations. -5- HPB Minutes 2/6//02 Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Hoggard discussed the decorative fencing and site lighting. Mr. Simon stressed that interior site lighting must be consistent with that found on Atlantic Avenue. Ms. Shay stated that interior lighting should be consistent from project to project and that if previous approvals required decorative interior lighting then every project should do so. Mr. Hernandez expressed his concern over decorative interior site lighting. Carolyn Patton, neighborhood representative, urged the Board to consider neighborhood participation as many members of the community are at a meeting for the Caring Kitchen. Mr. Hernandez stated that only minor issues are being discussed and that tabling the discussion would cost time and money to the project. Ms. Jamison disagreed to table the issue. Ms. Sexton inquired as to whether the design elements should be consistent with the adjacent historic district. Ms. McDermott inquired as to when design guidelines might be developed for the West Settlers area. Ms. Patton stated that she did not feel the proposed design elements are appropriate.

Ms. Shay stated that a reduction could be placed as a condition of approval. Mr. Silberstein stated the permitting process can take up to eight months. Ms. Jamison expressed her concern over the lack of activity with the project. Mr. Silberstein stated that two of the owners are in Canada which caused some of the delay. It was moved by Ms. McDermott, seconded by Ms. Sexton, and passed 6-0 to approve the request for an extension of the COA and Class V Site Plan valid until October 4, 2003. Alieda Riley, 65 Palm Square, inquired as to why bright, halogen lighting was used in front of the City Marina. Ms. Shay stated that she will look into it. III. DISCUSSION ITEM A.

A. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is approval of a COA-2001-229, which incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(F): ❑ Class V Site Plan; ❑ Landscape Plan; ❑ Architectural Elevations; and, ❑ Waiver to the following requirement: LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(d), which requires a 5'-wide landscape strip between vehicular use areas and abutting properties. The subject property is located between NW 5th Avenue and NW 6th Avenue, approximately 300' north of West Atlantic Avenue (north of the Fire Station #1). BACKGROUND The subject property consists of three parcels described by metes and bounds located within Block 20 Town of Linton (now Delray) plat together with a 17.24'-wide strip of land that divides the property. The parcels are noted on the Palm Beach County Property Appraisers maps as Lots 13, 19 and 22. The property is currently undeveloped and contains 0.485 acres. However, the restaurant was relocated to the site from the former Bud's Chicken site at the southeast corner of SE 6th Avenue (Federal Highway) and SE 1st Street. The east portion of the property is located within the West Settlers Historic District and is zoned GC (General Commercial), while the west portion is zoned CF (Community Facilities). The property is located within the "West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area". Guidelines for redevelopment of this area are contained within the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. The Plan contains block diagrams that depict possible redevelopment scenarios for each block in the Redevelopment Area. The diagram for redevelopment of Block 20 depicts commercial structures on NW 5th Avenue with parking/single family residential along NW 6th Avenue. The plan states that the western half of the subject property is to be utilized as a parking area, which supports the commercial use along NW 5th Avenue or existing churches in the area. At its meeting of October 16, 2001, the City Commission approved the rezoning of the western half of the subject property from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities). At that meeting, the City Commission also approved a conditional use request for a privately operated parking lot, which is an allowed use in the CF zoning district. The conditional use request was approved subject to the following conditions: 1. That the applicant shall submit documentation regarding the ownership of the 17.24' strip of land that separates the subject property from the property to the east and that access is provided between the parking area and the restaurant. 2. That the landscape strip along the north side of the property shall be widened to five-feet. • SPRAB Staff Report • Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 2 3. That the applicant shall submit a photometric plan that demonstrates compliance with LDR Section 4.6.8. 4. That the landscape plan shall be revised to provide the required trees planted every 25' along the north side of the property. 5. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3?(a), the maximum driveway width is 24'. The dimension of the driveway along NW 6 h Avenue shall be provided on the site plan. 6. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(4)(b), a wheel stop or concrete curb is required to separate parking spaces from landscape areas. A note shall be added to the plans that identify how the parking spaces will be separated from the landscape areas. 7. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(4)(d), the standard aisle width is 24' for two-way traffic within parking areas. A dimension shall be added to the plans regarding the aisle width adjacent to the compact parking spaces. 8. The City's typical parking space detail for perpendicular and angled parking configurations shall be added to the plans in accordance with LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(6)(e). 9. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(8)(a), parking areas must be constructed with a paved surface. A conceptual engineering plan shall be submitted that includes the construction material of the parking area. 10.The safe sight visibility triangles shall be added to the landscape plan in accordance with LDR Section 4.6.14. 11.Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(E)(3), parking areas shall be separated from landscape areas with a type "D" curb. The proposed site plan addresses all the conditions of the Conditional Use approval, except for conditions 1, 2, and 10. A site plan application has been submitted for the Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant and is now before the Board for action. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal incorporates the following: • Installation of a 2,911 square foot restaurant (relocated from Bud's Chicken site) with a "walk-up" window on the south side of the building; • Construction of a 24-space parking area; and, • Installation of associated landscaping and dumpster enclosure. SITE PLAN 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. SPRAB Staff Report ' Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 3 LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: As noted in the background section of this report, the western portion of the property is zoned CF and will be developed as a parking area. The eastern portion of the property is zoned GC which will be occupied by the restaurant and additional parking. The following table indicates that the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.3.4(K) and Section 4.4.9(F)(2) as it pertains to the West Atlantic Overlay of the GC zone district: Standard Provided Maximum Building Height 48' 18' 6" Minimum Building Setbacks Front 5' 10' Side (Interior) 0' 5' Rear 10' 209' Open Space 10% 24.68% LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations: Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.9(G)(1)(d), the proposed 2,911 square foot restaurant requires 18 parking spaces [2,911 sq.ft. / 6 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft.) = 17.46]. The proposed site plan provides sufficient parking as 24 spaces will be provided. However, as parking areas as well as other improvements traverse multiple lots, a unity-of-title will be necessary to combine the lots to ensure that all of the required parking spaces will be available to the restaurant and is attached as a condition of approval. Site Lighting: A photometric plan has been submitted that demonstrates compliance with the City's illumination requirements. The proposed light poles are precast concrete with a commercial style light fixture. Furthermore, the light pole and light fixture exceed the maximum height of 25'. A condition of approval is attached that the light poles and fixtures be consistent with those proposed on Atlantic Avenue or another style of decorative fixture acceptable to the Historic Preservation Board and that the overall height not exceed 25'. Bicycle Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(1)(c)(3), a bicycle rack must be provided for any non- residential use within the City's TCEA (Transportation Concurrency Exception Area), which, through the development review process, is determined to generate a demand. The applicant has provided a bike rack along the east side of the property. Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(A)(1), a visibility triangle is required at the intersection of an access way (driveway) and a public right-of-way. Unobstructed visibility must be maintained • SPRAB Staff Report " Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 4 in this area between 3' and 6'. The required visibility is measured 20' along the access way and the public right-of-way and the third side connecting the ends. A condition of approval is attached that the 20' visibility triangle is noted on the landscape plan and that any obstructions are relocated in accordance with direction by the City Horticulturalist. Other Items: One-Way Parking Area Design/Traffic Circulation: The proposed one-way parking area along the east side of the property meets the dimensional requirement with respect to the minimum required 17'-wide aisle with 60° angled parking spaces. However, this design may lead to conflicts since a two-way traffic flow is proposed on the west side of the property, which may confuse patrons attempting to exit to NW 5th Avenue against the one-way drive. As an alternative, the one-way drive could be converted to a two-way design by changing the angled spaces to parallel. This will allow for a 24'-wide drive aisle, which will accommodate two-way traffic flow and make the turning movements through the parking area more manageable by increasing the pavement. The conversion will necessitate the elimination of one parking space on the north side of the restaurant and will provide additional landscaping along the north side of the restaurant. A condition of approval is attached that the design of the parking area is modified accordingly. Off-Street Loading: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.10(C), a loading space for a 2,911 square foot restaurant is not required. However, a loading space may be required by the body approving the site plan if the Board determines that a space is necessary. The proposed site plan provides a loading space on the west side of the building. This loading space is located within a drive aisle and blocks the entrance to the dumpster enclosure. The applicant should consider rotating this space and locate it in the landscape area adjacent to the west side of the restaurant. This will necessitate the relocation of the dumpster enclosure, staircase and can wash along the west side of the building. Technical Items: While the revised site plan has accommodated most of the staff concerns the following items remain outstanding, and will need be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit. 1. That a Title Certificate from the applicant's attorney shall be submitted verifying ownership of the 17.24' strip of land. Furthermore, the quit claim deed must be revised to correctly describe the boundaries of the subject property. 2. That the location and screening method of air conditioning units are noted on the site plan. 3. That the sidewalk along NW 6th Avenue must be replaced adjacent to the subject property. SPRAB Staff Report • Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 5 4. That the existing ramp along NW 5th Avenue must be removed and a type "F" curb constructed. The applicant shall restore paver brick sidewalk at this ramp. 5. That the driveway along NW 5th Avenue must be constructed with paver brick to match existing paver block within the right-of-way. 6. That a note must be added to the site plan with respect to the removal of the concrete drive apron along NW 6th Avenue north of the proposed driveway. 7. That a cross section must be provided of the area along the north property line for drainage purposes. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS The perimeter buffers adjacent to parking areas will consist of Live Oak trees, Pidgeon Plum trees, existing Mahogany trees, Sabal Palms, and Dahoon Holly trees. In addition to the existing Seagrape hedge, these areas will be under planted with Fakahatchee Grass and Sandankwa Iburnum. The proposed landscaping within the parking areas will consist of Pink Tabebuia, Pidgeon Plum trees, and a Dahoon Holly tree. These areas will be under planted with Indian Hawthorne, Green Liriope, and St. Augustine sod. Foundation plantings of Pink Tabebuia trees, Sabal Palms, Green Liriope, Indian Hawthorne, Redtip Cocoplum, Pigmy Date Palm, and Fakahatchee Grass are to be provided. The dumpster enclosure proposed on the west side of the building will be buffered with Fakahatchee Grass and Sandankwa I bu mu m. Perimeter Landscape Strip: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(d), a 5'-wide landscape strip, exclusive of curbing, is required between off-street parking areas or other vehicular use areas and abutting properties. The proposed landscape strip along the north side of the west portion of the property is 2.5' wide, 4.5' along the north side of the east parcel and 3' along the west side of the east parcel. The applicant has submitted a waiver request to reduce the required 5'-wide perimeter for the described areas. Waiver Analysis: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(6)(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; or, (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. SPRAB Staff Report • Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 6 The applicant has indicated that the waiver is necessary to provide the required 24' drive aisle within the parking area on the west side of the building. The provision of a "single- loaded" parking tier together with the required 5'-wide perimeter landscape strips will not fit on a 50'-wide lot (52' required). A condition of the Conditional Use approval is that a 5'-wide landscape strip be provided along the north property line. In order to accommodate the 5'- wide landscape strip along the north property line, the parking area along the north side of the restaurant can be redesigned to accommodate parallel parking spaces instead of the angled spaces. This design provides the opportunity to shift the parking areas to the south and provide the 5'-wide perimeter landscape strip along the north side of the property. On the west portion of the property the parking area will need to be shifted 2.5' to the south, thus requiring the waiver along the south property line adjacent to the parking area. Therefore, a waiver of the perimeter landscape strip along the south side of the property will be necessary. This configuration will be more advantageous since there is a mature landscape strip along the south side of the property (Fire Department) and additional area will be provided along the north side of the restaurant parking area to buffer the residential uses. In order to accommodate single loaded parking tiers, the City has approved the reduction of the perimeter landscape strips for other in-fill projects. The waiver will not affect the delivery of public services, and will not create an unsafe situation with respect to public safety. Similar circumstances on other properties would lead to the same conclusion. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), Waiver Findings can be made. Landscape Technical Items: The following Landscape Plan items remain outstanding, and will need to be addressed prior to building permit submission. 1. That the light pole along the south side of the compact parking spaces must be relocated and a tree planted in the landscape island in accordance with direction by the City Horticulturalist. 2.

SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 7 DESIGN ELEMENTS The existing restaurant previously used as the Bud's Chicken Restaurant has been relocated to the subject property from the former site at the southeast corner of SE 5th Avenue and SE 1st Street. The restaurant is a contemporary commercial structure with a Mediterranean influence that was constructed in 1990. The building is single story concrete block structure with a masonry tile mansard roof on the north, south and east sides. The applicant proposes to remove the drive-through window and replace it with a walk-up window. The building will be raised 2.6' on pilings to support the weight of the building. The building will have a skirt that will be stuccoed and painted to match the existing building. The building is currently painted a light pink with white trim and a multi-colored barrel tile roof. The awnings over the window are a forest green with pink stripes. The color and building style are compatible with the existing buildings along NW 5th Avenue pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8). The building is consistent with the adjacent Fire Station and is not immediately adjacent to any contributing historic structures. The building elevations indicate that horizontal railing will be used for the stairs and handicap ramp. For aesthetic purposes a vertical picket should be provided for the railings and is attached as a condition of approval. The dumpster will enclosed with a 6'-high concrete wall on three sides and have wood gates for the opening. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, 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 eastern portion subject property has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of GC (General Commercial) and is zoned GC (General Commercial). The GC zone district is consistent with the GC Future Land Use Map designation. The western portion of the subject property has a FLUM LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 dwelling units per acre) and is zoned CF (Community Facilities). The privately operated parking lot is allowed in the CF zoning district as a conditional use, which was approved by the City Commission on October 16, 2001. The proposed restaurant is a permitted use in the GC zone district. Based upon the above, it is appropriate to make a positive finding with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map designation. Section 3.1.1 (B) - Concurrence: As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of concurrency can be made as it relates to water, sewer, streets and traffic, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, and solid waste. SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 8 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 of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the LDRs can be made, when all outstanding items attached as conditions of approval are addressed. 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. The subject property is bordered on the north and west by residential and vacant properties, on the south by the Fire Department, and on the east by the Mount Olive Church parking area. The proposed development plan is compatible with these uses and will not cause a depreciation of property values. Furthermore, the proposed use is consistent with the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, which envisioned a restaurant for the subject property. The proposed development will not interfere with or hinder the use of nearby properties. The project will be an enhancement to the area and will provide the desired type of redevelopment and investment along NW 5th Avenue. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable objectives and policies have been identified. Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.5 — The following pertains to the Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area: "...The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission on July 11, 1995. The plan establishes Future Land Use Map designation, zonings, special development standards, and design guidelines for the Redevelopment Area. Future development in the area must be in accordance with the provisions of the redevelopment plan..." West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan: The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan addresses a variety of issues related to the target area. The plan contains a Redevelopment Site Plan for Block 20. The site plan anticipated a restaurant for the subject property and includes the basic layout with respect to the restaurant and parking area. Furthermore, the Plan discourages the proliferation of fast food restaurants with drive-through facilities. The proposed restaurant complies with this directive as the drive-through window will be eliminated and a walk-up window established. SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 9 The Plan includes specific development requirements that apply to the proposed restaurant. The plan indicates that a pedestrian friendly environment should be created along NW 5th Avenue. In order to achieve this goal, the area between the right-of-way and front of building should be pedestrian accessible via the installation of a paver block area and the encouragement of sidewalk cafes. The applicant has provided a landscape strip between the building and the right-of-way. The relocation of the restaurant to the subject property provides an opportunity to establish a sidewalk café along NW 5th Avenue. Therefore, a condition of approval is attached that the landscape area between the building and the right- of-way is reduced to an approximate 3'-wide foundation planting and that a paver block area is provided with the type of paver block to be determined by the City. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency At its meeting of August 9, 2001, the CRA reviewed and recommended approval of the request. Downtown Development Authority At its meeting of August 15, 2001, the DDA reviewed and recommended approval of the request, subject to the provision of additional lighting. West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Coalition (WARC): The Board considered the request at its meeting of August 8, 2001 and recommended approval. Courtesy Notices: Special courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowners and civic associations: ➢ President's Council ➢ Chamber of Commerce ➢ Northwest Community Improvement Association ➢ West Side Heights ➢ West Settlers Historic ➢ Delray Merchants Association ➢ PROD Letters of support and objection, if any, will be presented at the Historic Preservation Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The proposed restaurant is consistent with LDR Section 3.1.1 and Section 2.4.5(F)(5) provided all outstanding items attached as conditions of approval are addressed. SPRAB Staff Report • Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations and COA 2001-229 for Donnie's Golden Spoon Restaurant Page 10 Furthermore, a positive finding can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) as the waiver affects an urban infill project and would be supported elsewhere in the City under similar circumstances. The restaurant will have no significant impacts on the adjacent commercial uses. The proposed restaurant was anticipated for this property and is consistent with the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, subject to the provision of a hardscape (paver blocks) between the building and right-of-way.

Pape, Senior Planner APPENDIX A CONCURRENCY FINDINGS Pursuant to 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: With respect to water and sewer service, the following is noted: O Water service is provided to the site via a 6" water main, which is located along NW 6th Avenue. O Sewer service is provided to the site via an 8" sewer main, which is located along NW 5th Avenue. O Adequate fire suppression is provided to the site via a fire hydrant, which is located on the east side of NW 6tn Avenue, approximately 60' south of the subject property. The Comprehensive Plan states that adequate water and sewer treatment capacity exists to meet the adopted LOS at the City's build-out population based on the current FLUM. The 2,911 square feet net increase of restaurant floor area will have an insignificant impact on all public services and was anticipated for this property and was factored into the plan. Thus, a positive finding with respect to this level of service standard can be made. Streets and Traffic: The applicant provided the traffic information for the subject property and the following is noted: The traffic statement indicates the project will generate 508 average daily trips onto the surrounding roads. This trip generation will have an insignificant impact on the surrounding road network. Since the property is located in the Traffic Concurrency Exception Area, concurrency standards with respect to the proposed development can be made by the City. Parks and Recreation Facilities: Park dedication requirements do not apply for non-residential uses. Thus, the proposed development will not have an impact with respect to this level of service standard. Solid Waste: The additional trash generated each year by the restaurant consisting of 2,911 square feet will be 2.79 tons per year. The increase can be accommodated by existing facilities and thus, will not have a significant impact on this level of service standard. Drainage: Drainage will be accommodated on site via an exfiltration trench system. There should be no impact on drainage as it relates to this level of service standard APPENDIX B STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN ACTIONS A.

IN III.B. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is approval of COA-469, which incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for Atlantic Grove, pursuant to LDR Sections 2.4.5(H) and (I): ❑ Landscape Plan; and, ❑ Architectural Elevations BACKGROUND The project is located in the West Settlers Historic District in the North 300 and 400 Blocks of West Atlantic Avenue (Blocks 28 & 36). The property, located within the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area, was assembled by the CRA for redevelopment as a mixed-use project. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the project was issued on March 1, 2000 and the Atlantic Grove development, consisting of townhouses in the rear and commercial buildings fronting on West Atlantic Avenue, was chosen from among four proposals. During the Conditional Use process, the project was modified to increase the residential density by replacing commercial space on the third floor of the two frontage buildings with residential units. The residential component of the project includes eight 3-story buildings containing a total of 55 townhouses with two-car garages. There are 31 two bedroom units and 24 three bedroom units. The two 3-story buildings, fronting on Atlantic Avenue contain 47,856 sq. ft. of retail/office/restaurant space on the ground (1st) and 2nd floors and 20 residential condominium units on the 3rd floor. The project includes 201 off-street parking spaces located in parking lots behind the commercial buildings and 71 on-street parking spaces on NW 3rd Avenue, NW 4th Avenue, NW 5th Avenue and NW 1st Street. Paverbrick sidewalks and street lighting to match that on West Atlantic Avenue are located around the entire 300 block and from Atlantic Avenue to the parking lot entrances on the 400 block. There are two gated entries on NW 3rd Avenue and NW 1st Street for the townhomes and a pool and cabana are located just inside the main entrance on NW 3rd Avenue. On July 24, 2001, the City Commission approved the Conditional Use to allow a density of 16.54 units per acre and on August 7, 2001, the City Commission approved the rezoning and conditional use for the stand-alone parking lot located on the west side of NW 4th Avenue, immediately south of Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The Site Plan was reviewed by HPB on August 15, 2001. The Landscape Plan and Building Elevations were tabled. Waivers to reduce the required stacking distances for the parking lot entrances along NW 3rd, 4th and 5th Avenues were approved and the Site Plan was approved with conditions. Revised Plans have been submitted addressing the conditions. Several conditions directly related to recommended changes to the Landscape Plan. The Board had the following comments regarding the Landscape Plan: HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469 -Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 2 1. That the sidewalks on NW 3rd Avenue, NW 4th Avenue and NW 1st Street be meandered to allow the street trees to be moved further away from the buildings; 2. That the area behind the mixed-use buildings be studied in detail to relocate the sidewalk under the overhang and move the landscape area adjacent to the parking lot in order to provide room for vertical landscape elements behind the building; 3. That the sidewalks on NW 3`d Avenue and NW 5th Avenue be moved against the building and the landscape area be moved adjacent to the street to accommodate the landscape materials; 4. That the sidewalks on both sides of NW 4th Avenue be moved against the building and the landscape area be moved adjacent to the street to accommodate the landscape materials; and, 5. That the utilities be designed to allow for installation of vertical landscape elements in the area between the garage doors in the rear of the townhouse buildings. The Board's comments relating to the Design Elements were as follows: 1. The windows on the second and third floor of the side elevations (mixed-use buildings on Atlantic Avenue) should be centered between the columns on the 1st floor; 2. Submit lighting details; and, 3. Submit details of the dumpster enclosures. The Board did not have any comments on the elevations for the Townhouses. The applicant has made the adjustments to the Site Plans, Landscape Plans and Building Plans to address the comments. The revised Landscape Plans and Building Elevations are now before the Board for action. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS The Landscape Plan has been revised to pursuant to comments by the Board at the August 15, 2001 meeting. As noted earlier, most of the Board's comments concerned moving sidewalks to accommodate landscape materials adjacent to buildings and streets. The landscaping along West Atlantic Avenue is being completed as a part of a CRA beautification project and is not included in this project. The design includes Coconut Palms with Wax Jasmine and Euphorbea ground covers in the landscape nodes on the corners of each block and Live Oaks and Royal Palms along the roadway. To maintain a sense of continuity, the proposed landscape materials within the landscape nodes along the streets adjacent to Atlantic Grove will be the same as those on West Atlantic Avenue. As recommended by HPB, the sidewalks at the intersections with Atlantic HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469 -Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 3 Avenue have been located against the building to allow for larger street trees. This arrangement creates a problem for the pedestrian parking in the adjacent on-street parking spaces, requiring them to walk through the landscaping or in the roadway to the corner. The design would be improved by extending the sidewalk in the entire area between the on-street parking spaces and the street with cutouts for the trees and other landscape materials. This has been added as a condition of approval. The off-street parking areas are screened from adjacent properties and roadways by a Cocoplum hedge and either Live Oak, Laurel Oak or Mahogany trees. Live Oak trees with sod for groundcover is utilized for interior landscape islands. The sod should be replaced with groundcovers where the islands are not contiguous to larger sodded areas. In the rear of the mixed-use buildings, the sidewalk was relocated adjacent to the buildings, under the overhang. Japanese Privet Trees, an Awabuki hedge and Aztec Grass or Foxtail Fern ground cover are planted between the sidewalk and the parking lot. Walkways are provided through the landscaping at building entrances. It is noted, however, that additional walkways may be 'necessary to stop those people parking in the front row from walking through the landscaping. In front of the townhouse units which face the adjacent public streets, a decorative fence is located behind the sidewalks with annuals in front. While this would be attractive and add to the streetscape, it may become a problem if the annuals are not maintained and replaced regularly. The sidewalks jogs in places to allow room to place Live Oak Trees between the sidewalk and the street. Although the design does allow the placement of larger trees on the street as recommended by HPB, it creates a . problem for pedestrians to get from their car in the adjacent on-street parking spaces to the sidewalk, requiring them to walk through the landscape area. To solve this problem, a paved pathway should be placed in the landscape area for each affected parking space. Another item is that the offsets in the sidewalk are at 90 degree angles. The offset should be a tapered to provide pedestrians with a more gradual transition. These changes have been added as conditions of approval. The landscape design and materials in the front yards of the townhouses vary by unit to enhance individuality and alternate plant choices are available. Small landscape islands separate each unit in the rear between the garages. Solitaire Palms and either Evergreen Giant Liriope, Euphorbea or Sword Fern ground covers will be located in the islands. The proposed landscape plan complies with LDR Section 4.6.16, provided the conditions of approval and the following technical items are addressed: Landscape Technical Items: The following items remain outstanding and will need to be addressed prior to building permit submission. 1. The hedge must be continued at the corners of the parking lots to screen them from the road right-of-way and adjacent property. HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469 -Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 4 2. Replace the sod with groundcover in parking lot islands which are not contiguous to larger sodded areas. 3. All required trees are to be a minimum of 12' tall with a 6' canopy. Many of the proposed trees do not meet this requirement. 4. Consider additional walkways through the landscape area between the parking and sidewalk in the rear of the mixed-use buildings. 5. The planting in front of the decorative fencing for the townhouses which front on the adjacent roadways is shown as annuals on the revised north detail sheet. The south detail sheet shows variegated Liriope in the same area where the two sheets overlap. The maintenance issues with respect to annuals should be considered. DESIGN ELEMENTS The building elevations for the townhouses are unchanged from the last meeting. The building elevations for the mixed-use buildings have been revised pursuant to comments made by the Board to center the windows between the columns in the side elevations. Other minor adjustments were made to the windows on the second and third floor of the front and rear elevations. Townhouses: The front building facades are symmetrical in form. The planes of the front façade of the townhouses are varied with the end unit(s) offset by 3'-4". A wide smooth stucco base and two.6" stucco bands are provided around the building, one on the first floor and one below the windows on the 3rd floor. A raised stucco eave trim has been applied around the building, below the roof overhang. Architectural features and colors are varied on the building to emphasize the individuality of the units. Recessed balconies are provided on the interior units and projecting balconies are provided on the corner units. A hip roof has been utilized on the building to minimize the building height on the side elevations. Dormers have been added to break up the large expanse of roof. Mixed Use Buildings: The two mixed-use buildings utilize different architectural styles, color and varying rooflines to make the buildings appear to be made up of smaller buildings. The roof is divided into five segments which include two sections of standing seam metal roof, a flat roof with a simulated stone cornice and two sections of Spanish tile roof. Architectural detailing includes raised banding, decorative metal railings, decorative outriggers, faux columns, simulated stone panels and decorative metal grillwork. Variations in window treatments have been provided with a mixture of different sizes, shapes and types. Variation is also provided by adding different treatments around the windows such raised stucco banding and canvass awnings. Balconies are provided on the front façade of the 3rd floor for the residential units. An exterior walkway is provide on the rear façade HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469-Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 5 of the 2nd and 3rd floors. A central gallery is provided through the building on the first floor for access to the rear. Scale of Buildings: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(7), the construction of new buildings or structures shall be generally compatible with the form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color and location of adjoining sites. The property is surrounded by commercial development and community facilities on the south, east and west sides and by single-family residential zoning on the north. A church is approved on one of the properties to the north. The mixed-use buildings on the Atlantic Avenue frontage are designed to look like a series of smaller buildings. The height of the building is 43'-6" to the mid point of the Spanish Tile roof and the other roofs are lower. This is less than the 48' permitted in the district. The scale of the proposed buildings is consistent with surrounding buildings and structures in the area including the South County Courthouse, the Police Station, the Fire Station, and the Tennis Center stadium. The townhouses are also designed to break up the facades and emphasize individual units. They are 3 stories (35'-10") in height which is compatible with the other buildings in the area including the Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church and the existing homes and approved church to the north. The size of the buildings vary with the number of units in each building. The scale of the buildings is compatible with the surrounding development including the mixed-use buildings proposed as a part of this project. Visual Compatibility: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8), all improvements to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility shall be determined in terms of height, front façade proportions, window openings, rhythm of solids to voids, rhythm of buildings on streets, rhythm of entrance and porch projections, materials, texture, color, roof shapes, walls of continuity, scale of building. As discussed throughout this report and above, in order to increase the visual compatibility of the building, the townhouse buildings have been designed so that they emphasize individual units. The mixed-use buildings take this concept farther by mixing architectural styles to give the appearance of being a series of smaller buildings. The architectural design of the buildings with different forms, textures, materials and varied roof heights all help to increase the continuity with the existing and proposed structures in the area. Based on the above, a positive finding can be made to LDR Section 4.5.1(E). Cabana: Building elevations for the pool cabana have not been submitted. The cabana design must be consistent with the townhouses. Building elevations and details on color and material must be provided. This has been added as a condition of approval. HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469-Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 6 Decorative Fencing: wood, aluminum or PVC decorative fencing is proposed around the townhouse area in the 300 block and around the off-street parking lot in the rear of the 400 block. Details on the design of this fencing has not been provided. It is noted that all chain-link fencing is specifically prohibited in the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. The design should consist of black aluminum decorative picket fencing. The design for the fence and details on color, material and height will be provided at the Board's meeting. Lighting: The proposed lighting fixtures along the adjacent streets and in the main parking lots behind the mixed-use buildings will be the same as those used by the City in the new streetscape for West Atlantic Avenue. A colonial style fixture will be used within the townhouse area and in the rear parking lot in the 400 block, adjacent to Mount Olive Church. Dumpster Enclosure: There are two dumpster enclosures provided for the mixed-use buildings. The 10' x 10' enclosures consist of a masonry wall with a pair of swing gates covered with stained 1" x 6" wood boards. Colors have not been identified for the enclosure walls or gate. Provision of this information has been added as a condition of approval. REQUIRED FINDINGS Positive .findings with respect to Chapter 3, and Section 2.4.5(F)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to conditions, were made at the time of Site Plan approval. It is noted that with the Conditional Use approval, the City Commission made positive findings that the project meets the performance standards outlined in LDR Section 4.4.9(G)(1)(h), within the GC zone district to allow a density over 12 units per acre (16.54 units per acre). The project's combination of mixed-use development on the West Atlantic Avenue frontage and housing in the rear will help in the long term revitalization of the corridor. As shown above, positive findings can be made for the building elevations with respect to Section 4.5.1(E)(7) and Section 4.5.1(E)(8), regarding compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding properties and Section 4.6.18, Architectural Elevations and Aesthetics, of the Land Development Regulations. Positive findings can also be made for the Landscape Plan with respect to Section 4.6.16 Landscape Regulations, of the Land Development Regulations, provided the conditions of approval are addressed. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. HPB Staff Report Atlantic Grove: COA-469-Landscape Plan & Elevations Page 7 B. Approve the associated landscape plan and design elements for COA-469, Atlantic Grove, based on positive findings with respect to the Land Development Regulations. C.

The action requested of the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board is that of granting an extension of site plan modification approval for Neal's Market, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.4(F)(3). BACKGROUND The 0.47 acre site consists of Lots 7 and 8, Block 75, Town of Delray, and is within the Old School Square Historic District and Pineapple Grove Redevelopment Area. The subject property is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) and is currently vacant. The property contained the former Neal's Market (105 NE 1st Street) and Jo's Back Room (115 NE 1st Street). The market was a commercial, masonry vernacular building constructed in the mid-1950s while Jo's Back Room was a frame vernacular structure built in 1925. At its meeting of October 4, 2000, the Historic Preservation Board approved with conditions a COA and the associated demolition request, site plan, landscape plan, and design elements for Neal's Market townhouses, involving the construction of a three-story, ten unit townhouse development. The site plan is valid until April 4, 2002. The applicant has requested a site plan extension, as they will not have commenced construction and 25% of the cost of the improvements will not be completed by this time. Additional background and a complete analysis of the proposal is provided in the attached HPB staff report dated October 4, 2000. EXTENSION ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.4(F)(1) (Extensions), extensions may be granted to the previously approved application pursuant to the following: • A written request for an extension must have been received by the City at least forty- five (45) days prior to the expiration date; • The letter must set forth the basis and reason for the extension; • The extension shall be considered by the same body which granted the original approval; Meeting Date: February 6, 2002 Agenda Item: II. C. • HPB Staff Report Neal's Market-Site Plan Extension Request Page 2 • The extension, if granted, shall be for eighteen (18) months unless otherwise stated. Additionally, when an extension is requested for a project on which construction has not commenced the granting body must make findings as outlined in Article 3.1 of the LDRs. These are the same findings that were made for the original approval, which relate to Consistency with the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan, Concurrency, and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. The letter of request (copy attached) was submitted by the owner's agent in a timely manner. The basis and reason for the extension is as follows: Our request is due to a modification that will include revising the parking layout in order to provide a one-car garage for each unit. The approved scheme called for twenty-two surface parking spaces. The revised scheme would include twelve surface spaces and ten garage spaces. This will increase the landscape area in the parking court. The overall design will not change except for the elevation within the parking court. The original site plan was approved subject to conditions (see conditions of approval at the end of this report). Further, the board approved a waiver to reduce the site visibility. There have been no changes to the Land Development Regulations since the time of the original approval that would make any aspect of the proposed Neal's Market Townhouses project non-conforming. Since the time of approval, the buildings have been demolished and none of the conditions of approval have been addressed. Similarly, the original findings of Concurrency can be reaffirmed with respect to the Level of Service Standards [LDR Article 3.1]. Therefore, it is appropriate to once again approve the waiver and impose the same conditions of approval for this request. If the request for the extension were denied, it would necessitate the filing of a new site plan application. As the project has already been reviewed for compliance with the LDRs, re- review would be redundant. The applicant anticipates a request for modification once the extension is approved to accommodate a one-car garage for each unit. Permitted under the code, the applicant has requested an 18-month extension for site plan approval that would extend the deadline to October 4, 2003. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Continue with direction. 2. Grant the COA and Class V site plan extension request for Neal's Market, until October 4, 2003. 3. Deny the extension request for Neal's Market, on the basis that construction in the field has not been diligently pursued. Such an action will necessitate the filing of a new site plan modification application. ♦ HPB Staff Report Neal's Market-Site Plan Extension Request Page 3 R E:_C..O;M M_E N DA:TIO N_ .

The subject property is located on the northeast corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 1st Street and is bounded on the east by an improved north/south alley. The 0.47 acre site consists of Lots 7 and 8, Block 75, Town of Delray, and is within the Old School Square Historic District and Pineapple Grove Redevelopment Area. The subject property is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) and contains two structures, which are discussed below. The Market Building, 105 NE 1st Street The Neal's Market building originally consisted of two separate structures separated by a wall. The eastern portion of the building (1,500 sq.ft.) was constructed in 1954. It is typical of the c.b.s. commercial vernacular buildings of the mid 50s with a flat roof and glass front doors across the south façade and metal louvers above the doors. In 1960, the west portion of the building (1,200 sq.ft.) was constructed along the west side of the original structure. The wall was removed between the two buildings to create one space when Victor Neal purchased the property. The building is noncontributing from historical perspective. Jo's Back Room, 115 NE 1st Street The building was constructed as a 1,062 sq.ft. single-family residence in 1925. It is a contributing vernacular style structure of frame construction with a wrap around porch. Originally screened, the 312 sq.ft porch has been enclosed (total of 1,374 sq.ft.). A site plan approval request has been submitted to demolish the existing improvements and construct a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development, which is now before the Board. The development proposal consists of the following: ❑ Demolition of the noncontributing Neal's market building. { t• SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landsca, g, Building Elevations—Nears Market To',. ,omes Pafle 2 ❑ Demolition or relocation of the contributing cottage to the east (Jo's Backroom). ❑ Construction of 2 5-unit townhouse buildings, 1 to the north side of the property and 1 to the south, each building will be 3 stories tall. ❑ Construction of a 22 space parking court, which will be accommodated between the two structures with access from NW 1st Avenue and the north/south alley. ❑ Installation of landscaping, walkways, site lighting, bike rack and a refuse container area. 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. PURSUANT TO LDR SECTION 4.4.24(F)(1)(C), DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY (LOTS 7 AND 8, BLOCK 75) IS SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE CBD ZONE DISTRICT[SECTIONS 4.4.13(F) AND (Gil. LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: The following table indicates that the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.3.4(K) and Section 4.4.13(F)& (G)(2) as it pertains to the CBD zone district: Required Provided Building Height (max.) 48' 32'-37' Building Setbacks (min.) - Front 5' 12' Side (Interior) 0' 14' Side (Street) 5' 13' Rear 0' 10' Open Space 10% 9 I..io LDR Section 4.4.13 CBD Supplemental District Regulations: Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13 (G)(1)(e), multiple family units (2 bedrooms or more) are to provide 1.75 spaces a unit plus guest parking at a rate of 0.5 spaces for the first 20 units. Based on the above, 22 parking spaces are required. SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landsca._ 3, Building Elevations—Neal s Market Toy, Dmes ?ace 3 Further, LDR Section 4.4.13(G)(1)(b), states that when parking requirements are applied to new development or a change in use, said parking requirements may be reduced by one parking space on a one-time only basis. This reduces the parking requirement to 21 spaces, which have been provided. Density: Within the CBD zone district, residential projects with a density of up to 30 units per acre are a permitted use. The proposed 10-unit townhouse development represents 21.28 units per acre, thereby meeting this requirement. LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations: Site Lighting: Pursuant to LDR 4.6.8 (Lighting), site lighting must be provided. A site lighting and photometrics plan has been submitted to ensure compliance with LDR Section 4.6.8. A light pole with a decorative coach style lantern is proposed at each corner of the property. Wall mounted decorative "carriage" style light fixtures will be mounted beside each unit's entrance in the front and rear of the buildings. In addition, wall mounted floodlights are also proposed in order to adequately illuminate the parking court. Finally, six hanging, decorative coach style lanterns are proposed within the entrance arches. The DDA (Downtown Development Authority) recommended that pole mounted decorative light fixtures are provided for within the adjacent rights-of-way (1st Avenue and 1st Street). It was also recommended that the decorative light poles match those, which exist along Atlantic Avenue. These items have been attached as conditions of approval. An additional condition of approval is that all site lighting be indicated on the landscape plan and site plan to prevent conflicts with site improvements and landscaping. Stacking Distance: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3)(c)(1), provisions must be made for stacking and transition of incoming traffic from a public street, such that traffic may not backup into the public street system. The minimum distance between the right-of-way line of a local street and the first parking space or aisle way in a parking lot containing between 21 and 50 parking spaces shall be 20 feet. LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3)(c)(3) states that the length of the stacking area may be reduced when supported by a traffic study. There are two means of ingress/egress to the site (1st Avenue and the alley). After right-of-way dedication for the sidewalk on NE 1st Avenue, the stacking distance provided will be 11', while 17' is proposed adjacent to the alley. The proposed residential use will only generate 70 vehicular trips a day, which will enter and exit the site via the 2 driveways. Given the low traffic volumes and the multiple driveways, there are no problems anticipated with stacking. Therefore, the reduction of the 20' stacking distance to 11' and 17' is acceptable._. S?RAB Staff Report Crass V Site Pian, Landsca, .g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tot, .tomes Page 4 Visibility at Intersections: Driveways: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(A)(1), the sight visibility triangle at a driveway/accessway must be 20'. This requirement has been met at the east and west entrances to the parking court where a 3' high stucco wall is proposed. The 3' high wall connects to a decorative entrance arch, which is situated over the drive aisles of the parking court entrances. Street and Alley Intersections: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.14(A)(2) when property abuts the intersection of 2 public rights-of-way, all landscaping within the triangular area [two (2) sides of the triangle 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 2 lines] shall provide unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between 3' and 6' in height. At the intersection of NE 1st Street and NE 1st Avenue and the intersection of NE ist Street and the north/south alley, reduced sight visibility triangles have been provided (approximately 26' — 27'6"). The applicant has requested a waiver to the requirement. Prior to granting a waiver, the Board 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; or, d) Does not result in the granting of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. The landscaping at the southwest and southeast corners of the site (at the intersections of NE 1st Street & NE 1st Avenue and the north/south alley and NE 1st Street) encroach into this sight visibility triangle. There is a concern with the proposed Live Oaks as they become mature, and their trunks become larger. NE 1st Street is currently one-way westbound, therefore there is not the same concern with visibility at the alley that there would be at an intersection with opposing traffic. However, there has been discussion in the past among City officials and the Pineapple Grove Main Street Advisory Board retarding the possible conversion of this street and SE 1st Street to two-way traffic. To better mitigate future site visibility concerns the proposed Heritage Live Oak trees at the southwest and southeast corners of the site should be replaced with groupings of Palm trees. The waiver does not affect the provision of public facilities nor should it affect the neighboring area. The granting of the waiver will not result in the grant of a special privilege as similar waivers were granted for recent development along NE 1st Street (Creations of Delray Beach, Town Square). The waiver should not result in an unsafe situation provided the proposed Lives Oaks are replaced with palms, which is attached as a condition of approval.

A 50' right-of-way exists for NE 1st Street and 40' for NE 1st Avenue. Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(4), a reduction in right-of-way widths for existing streets may be granted by the City Engineer upon favorable recommendation from the Development Services Management Group (DSMG). However, upon reviewing the proposal DSMG recommended that at least 5' of right-of-way be dedicated or a sidewalk easement provided in order to accommodate the existing and proposed 5' sidewalks. The applicant has indicated that 5' of right-of-way will be dedicated adjacent to the NE 1st Street and NE 1st Avenue rights-of-way. A condition of approval is that the plat dedicate the right-of-way. If the proposal involves any changes where platting is not required, then a right-of-way deed would need to be executed. Sidewalks: Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5' wide sidewalk is required within the rights-of- way adjacent to the property. A 5' sidewalk currently exists along the west side of the property adjacent to NE 1st Avenue and a 5' sidewalk is proposed along the south side of the property adjacent to NE 1st Street. The proposal includes pedestrian connections to the existing and proposed 5' sidewalks along NE 1st Street and Avenue. Therefore, this requirement has been met. As previously stated, 5' of right-of-way must be dedicated for the sidewalks. Plat: The subject property is required to be platted as the units are for fee simple ownership. An attached condition of approval is that the plat must be recorded prior to issuance of building permits. Six Live Oak trees are proposed within the parking court with a variety of groundcover and foundation plantings. Adjacent to the building within the parking court White Bird of Paradise with lxora Nora Grant and Xanadu plantings are proposed. A mix of foundation plantings and groundcover are proposed adjacent to the fronts of the townhouse units. Foxtail Palm trees are proposed at the northeast and northwest corners of site, and at the southeast and southwest corners of the site Heritage Live Oak trees are proposed. As previously discussed in the report the Heritage Live Oak trees should be replaced with groupings of Palm trees (i.e. Alexander Palms) to allow for adequate site visibility. Additional vertical elements should be included adjacent to the front side of the south building. These items have been attached as a condition of approval. • SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landsca,..g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tov....,omes ?aoe 6 The development proposal includes demolition of the noncontributing Neal's market building and demolition or relocation of the contributing cottage to the east (Jo's Backroom). Demolition Guidelines: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(F)(1), the HPB shall consider the following guidelines in evaluating applications for a COA for demolition of historic buildings; (a) Whether the structure is of such interest or quality that it would reasonably fulfill the criteria for designation for listing on the National Register. (b) Whether the structure is of such design, craftsmanship, or material that it could be reproduced only with great difficulty or economically nonviable expense. (c) Whether the structure is one of the last remaining examples of its kind in the designated historic district within the city. (d) Whether retaining the structure would promote the general welfare of the city by providing an opportunity to study local history, architecture, and design, or by developing an understanding of the importance and value of a particular culture and heritage. (e) Whether there are definite plans for immediate reuse of the property if the proposed demolition is carried out, and what effect those plans will have on the character of the surrounding area. The Market Building, 105 NE 1st Street: The eastern portion of the Neal's Market building was constructed in 1954 by Mr. O.D. Priest, a member of one of the early Delray pioneering families. It is typical of the c.b.s. commercial vernacular buildings of the mid 50s with a flat roof and glass front doors across the south façade and metal louvers above the doors. The building is 25' wide and 60' in length. In 1960 Mr. Priest constructed a 20.5' X 60' addition to west of the 1954 structure, architect George C. Davis designed the addition. It has 3 full-length plate glass windows and a door all framed in aluminum across the front façade, above the windows and door are glass jalousies; a 2'8" canopy extends across the front façade. The wall was removed between the two buildings to create one space when Victor Neal purchased the property. Jos Back Room, 115 NE 1st Street: The building was constructed as a single-family residence in 1925. It is of frame construction on a pier foundation with wood clapboard siding and a composition shingle roof. It is vernacular in style and retains many of its original windows and wood shutters hinged from the lintel. It is rectangular in plan with a wrap around porch across the front and a portion of the east elevation. Originally screened, the porch has been enclosed, the house contains approximately-1;062 sq.ft. and the porch 312 sq.ft, for a total of 1,374 sq.ft. Attempts to find someone to relocate the building have failed. • • SPRAB Staff Report • Class V Site Plan, Lands:a....g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tor....'omes Pace 7 .• . Cf+ JI�K Y' .JYN 1'.. L'f i*e - r f,' s' The architectural style of the proposed 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is characteristic of the Mediterranean Revival style. Each 5-unit building features a yellow stucco finish and terracotta barrel tile roofs. Architectural detailing includes raised stucco banding, metal railings, false towers, decorative rafter tails, rotundas, decorative shutters, balconettes and balconies with wood trellises. Variations in window treatments have been provided. This includes square windows, single hung windows, double hung windows, windows that contain fixed glass, windows with fixed square and arched transoms, windows with sidelights, octagonal windows and arched windows. In some instances where the windows are the same style and size, variation is provided by adding different treatments around the windows such as raised stucco banding, decorative stucco columns and canvass awnings. The elevations vary from one side of the project to the other relating to its contextual surroundings, however there are similar architectural characteristics. It shall also be noted that increased setbacks as well as varied front offsets are provided for with the townhouse units. The proposed Mediterranean Revival style and design elements are consistent with the historical characteristics of the Old School Square Historic Arts District. However, the Pineapple Grove Main Street Design Review Committee recommended that the proposed style be more Floribbean or Vernacular. Additionally, the Committee recommended that elevations include a combination of wood siding and more shutters. It shall be noted that the Mediterranean Revival style is more ap propriate ppropriate and complimentary to the district especially given the projects' location to the Old School Square facility, which is also Mediterranean Revival in style. The Floribbean style seems to be more appropriate to the existing structures on Pineapple Grove Way. A majority of the Pineapple Grove Way structures were built between 1940 and 1960 and are very plain in style. The Floribbean style provides an economical and appropriate improvement for such structures and is not appropriate to OSSHAD. Therefore, staff feels the proposed style for the 3-story, 10-unit townhouse project is well suited for the Old School Square Historic District. • Wall and Entrance Arch: A 3' high concrete block wall with a yellow, stucco finish and entrance arches is proposed along the east and west sides of the property. The arch will extend over the entrances to the parking court and feature hanging coach style lanterns. The townhouse units at the end cf the two buildings also feature entrance arches which are connected to the wall. These arches also include smaller, hanging, coach style lanterns. Air Conditioning Units and Refuse Areas: The refuse areas are located on the east side of the buildings adjacent to the alley and are enclosed with a 3' high concrete block stuccoed wall with decorative gates. Air conditioning units are proposed on the west side of the buildings adjacent to NE 1st Avenue and are also enclosed with-a--3' high concrete block stuccoed wall. • SPRAB Staff Report - Class V Site Plan, Landsoai_ g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tov,...,omes Page 8 QUIREDr FINDINGS. I Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, 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 OMU (Other Mixed Use), and is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District). However, pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24, Lots 7-8, Block 75 are subject to the regulations and special provisions of the CBD (Central Business District) zoning district. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(B)(4), within the CBD zoning district multiple family structures of 30 units per acre or less are allowed as a permitted use. Based upon the above, it is appropriate to make a positive finding with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map designation. Section 3.1.1(B) - Concurrency: As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of Concurrency can be made as it relates to water, sewer, streets and traffic, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, and solid waste. 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 of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the LDRs can be made, provided the conditions of approval are addressed. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable objectives or policies were 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. — • SPRAB Staff Report — Class V Site Plan, Landscar g, Building Elevations— Neaps Market Toy. .ornes Pane 9 The property is developed and contains a vacant produce market and gift shop. There are no special physical or environmental characteristics of the land that would be negatively impacted by the proposed multiple family development. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan calls for the provision of infill housing in the downtown which this development will help to fulfill. Housing 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. The subject property is located in the Old School Square Historic District and the Pineapple Grove Main Street Area, both of which contain residential uses. The proposal will be complimentary to the adjacent commercial and residential uses, as the use is lower in intensity. This project will not have a negative impact on these areas. In fact the townhomes will be compatible with, and may even enhance the value of properties located within the surrounding mixed-use neighborhood. The development will not increase noise, odor, or dust, as it will allow for the reuse and redevelopment of an existing commercial property. Open Space and Recreation Element Policy A-3.1 - Tot lots and recreation areas serving children from toddlers to teens, shall be a feature of all new housing developments as part of the design to accommodate households having a range of ages. This requirement may be waived or modified for residential developments located in the downtown area, and for infill projects having fewer than 25 units. This policy may be waived for projects in the downtown because the City recognizes the following: that households located in the downtown are likely to have fewer children than those located in suburban settings; that land in the central business district is at a premium and it can be cost prohibitive to provide recreational features such as tennis courts, volleyball courts, etc.; and, that there are other cultural and recreational opportunities located in the downtown that are not readily available to residents of suburban apartment complexes. Based on the above, this policy is met. 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 4 bedroom units and activity areas for children ranging from toddlers to teens. This requirement may be SPRAB Staff Report - Class V Site Plan, Lands:ar...g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tow._.,omes Pape 10 waived or modified for residential development located in the downtown area, and for infill projects having fewer than 25 units. This project will not be excluded to occupancy by adults only. However, it is acknowledged that downtown dwellings are not typically occupied by households with children. This complex will primarily accommodate young and middle-age professionals. As allowed by this policy, it is appropriate that this project not be required to provide 4 bedroom units and activity areas for children. Housing Element Policy B-2.6 - Housing in and near the downtown area, in close proximity to employment opportunities and services, is a critical need. In order to help stimulate demand for new housing in and around the Central Business District, the development of new rental housing projects outside of the TCEA and North Federal Highway area is discouraged. The development proposal complies with this policy as it provides the desired type of residential development within the OSSHAD and the CBD. 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. The subject property is bordered on the north, west and south by OSSHAD zoning and CBD zoning on the east. The adjacent land uses include: to the north, a multi-family apartment building; to the west across NE 1st Avenue, an apartment building and a single-family residence; to the south across NE 1st Street, a commercial building previously known as the Goodwill Store; and to the east across the alley, A-Z Auto Parts. The subject property was previously home to Neal's Market, a produce market, and Jo's Backroom, a gift shop. These uses had co-existed with the adjacent commercial and residential uses for many years with no known compatibility issues. The proposed townhouse development has been designed to create the least impact on adjacent properties. This proposal will help to address the need for housing in the downtown area and will contribute to the stabilization and revitalization of the area. It will also enhance property values in the area. Based on the above, a finding of compatibility can be made that the proposed development will be compatible and harmonious the adjacent and nearby properties. = _,' EV:IEW' B"Y HERS Community Redevelopment Agency: At its meeting of September 14, 2000 the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) recommended approval of the development proposal. • SPRAB Staff Report Class V Site Plan, Landsca..,,g, Building Elevations— Neal's Market Tov...,'omes Page 11 Downtown Development Authority: At its meeting of September 20, 2000, the DDA (Downtown Development Authority) recommended approval of the development proposal with the condition that adequate site lighting be installed and that the perimeter light poles be located in the adjacent right-of-way and be consistent with light poles us along Atlantic Avenue. Pineapple Grove Main Street Design Review Committee: At its meeting of September 19, 2000, the Committee recommended approval of the development proposal with the conditions: 1. That the entrance be improved with respect to the site visibility triangle; 2. That the arches across the driveway be eliminated; 3. That additional vertical elements such as Alexander Palms be added; 4. That 3 palm trees replace the proposed Live Oak at the corner of NE 1st Street and NE 1st Avenue; 5. That the architectural style be more Floribbean or Vernacular; and, 6. That a combination of wood siding and more shutters be included in the design. Neighborhood Notice: Special Notice was provided to the Old School Square Homeowners association. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the HPB meeting. ,11 -SS,M TirAND ;CONCL;U:SION -, The development proposal is to construct a 10-unit townhouse development. The addition of households in the downtown area will help in the long term revitalization of the CBD. The proposed use is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The waiver to reduce the site visibility can be supported provided the Oak trees are changed to palms.

Sewer service will be provided via a service lateral connection to an 8" main located in the north/south alleyway on the east side of the property. ❑ Adequate fire suppression is provided as a fire hydrant is located at the southwest corner of NE 1s.Street and NE 151 Avenue, approximately 50' west of the site. Pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water Treatment Plant and the South Central County Waste Water Treatment Plant for the City at build-out. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to these level of service standards. Drainage: Drainage will be accommodated by an exfiltration system. There are no problems anticipated in complying with SFWMJID requirements and obtaining the required surface water permit. Based upon the above positive findings may be made with respect to this level of service standard. Streets and Traffic: The subject property is located in the City's TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exception Area), which encompasses the CBD, CBD-RC, and OSSHAD, as well as the West Atlantic Avenue corridor. The TCEA exempts the above-described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Therefore, a traffic study is not required for concurrency purposes, however a traffic statement is necessary to keep a record of trips approved in the TCEA and for calculation of traffic impact fees. The applicant has submitted a statement, which indicates that development will generate 70 ADT. Parks and Open Space: The proposed units will not have a significant impact with respect to level of service standards for parks and recreation facilitees. However, pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.2, whenever a development is proposed upon land which is not designated for park purposes in the Comprehensive Plan, an in-lieu fee of $500.00 per dwelling unit will be collected prior to issuance of building permits for each unit. Thus, an in-lieu fee of $5,000.00 will be required of this development. Solid Waste: Trash generated each year by the residential development consisting of 10 units will be 5.22 tons per year. The increase can be accommodated by existing facilities and thus, will not have a significant impact on this level of service standard. � � krg7t,�F r-�r„�v � r �,v DsIsX 3s ,'r+. ,,ri' " 'r ;*1 r ;` j t.' `A.
