The action before the Board is that of approval of COA-330 which
incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for House
of God Church (52 N.W 3rd Avenue), pursuant to LDR Section
2.4.5(G)(1)(b):
❑ Site Plan Modification (Class IV)
❑ Landscape Plan
❑ Design Elements
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of N.W. 1st Street
and N.W. 3rd Avenue.
The subject property consists of two unplatted parcels of land within Block 36, Town of
Delray, and consists of 0.35 acres. The property is located within the West Settlers
Historic District and is zoned R-1-A (Single Family Residential).
The existing 1,672 sq.ft. church was constructed in 1920 as St. John's Primitive Baptist
Church. The 1,134 sq.ft. parsonage was constructed in 1950. St. John's Primitive
Baptist relocated to its new facility on N.W. 6th Avenue in 1974, at which time the
existing church was re-occupied by House of God, which includes a 172-seat church
with a parsonage/single family residence
At its meeting of February 24, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board approved a
conditional use modification request for the conversion of the existing parsonage to a
multi-purpose facility along with 584 sq. ft. of building additions, construction of a 12-
space parking lot on the south and west sides of the property with a one-way drive, and
installation of associated landscaping, with the following conditions:
1. That a site plan modification application be submitted and processed pursuant to
Section 2.4.3 of the Land Development Regulations addressing the "Technical
Items" listed in the Staff Report;
2. That the applicant submit an abandonment application and design the site
accordingly to incorporate the abandoned portion of the alley, which is similar to the
attached "Alternative Site Plan". However, should the abandonment fail through the
Public Hearing process, the "Primary Site Plan" will be implemented; and,
3. That the seating capacity be limited to 172 persons.
A site plan modification request was submitted pursuant to the conditions of the
conditional use approval, and is now before the Board for action.
HPB Staff Report
House of God Church -COA-330 (Site Plan Modification Approval)
Page 2
The development proposal incorporates the following:
❑ Conversion of the existing parsonage/single family residence to a multi-purpose
facility with a pastor's office, kitchen and 584 sq.ft. of building additions;
❑ Abandonment of the existing north/south alley along the west side of the property to
accommodate the construction of a 23-space parking lot on the south and west
sides of the building.
❑ Installation of associated landscaping.
The existing sanctuary currently has a seating capacity of 172 persons. No additional
seats will be installed with this proposal.

..... .......................
COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be
addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development
application/request.
LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations:
Parking Requirements
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(6)(c), churches are required to provide one parking
space per every three seats in the sanctuary. Additional parking is not required for
other uses on the church property (e.g. Sunday School, Day Care, Preschool, etc.)
when such uses are operated as part of, or under the auspices of, the church.
Based upon the above the existing 172 seat church requires 54 parking spaces, and no
parking currently exists on the site, which is an existing nonconforming situation. The
current proposal will not increase the seating capacity and includes the installation of a
23-space parking lot, which will decrease the existing nonconformity.
Site Lighting
Pursuant to LDR 4.6.8 (Lighting), site lighting must be provided on site. Site lighting
fixture details and locations have not been provided on the plans. The site lighting
locations must be indicated on all plans, and the fixture details must be indicated on the
site plan. The lights are limited to a maximum height of 25'. A condition of approval is
that site lighting fixture details be provided in compliance with LDR Section 4.6.8
(Lighting), and that the lighting locations be indicated on the site, landscape and
engineering plans.
HPB Staff Report
House of God Church -COA-330 (Site Plan Modification Approval)
Page 3
LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(2) (Right-of-Way Dedication)
Pursuant to Section 5.3.1(D)(2), the required right-of-way width for both N.W. 3rd
Avenue and N.W. 1st Street is required to be 60 feet. The existing right-of-way width
for both streets is 50 feet. Therefore, a 5 foot dedication of right-of-way is required.
However, this requirement may be waived provided the waiver is supported by the City
Engineer. The City Engineer has reviewed this right-of-way section for the above
referenced streets and has determined that 50 feet of right-of-way is sufficient for this
roadway section. Thus, if approved, it is appropriate to waive the requirement to
dedicate 5 feet of right-of-way.
LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1)(Sidewalks)
Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5' wide sidewalk is required along both N.W. 1st
Street and N.W 3rd Avenue. The proposal includes the installation of sidewalks along
both streets.
LDR Section 4.3.4 (Base District Regulations):
Building Setbacks
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K), within the R-1-A (Single Family Residential) zone
district, the building setbacks are 25' front, 15' side street, 7.5' side interior and 10' rear.
The existing church and single family home have a front setback of 13.5' and a the
church has a side street setback of 7.7'. These are existing nonconforming situations.
The side interior and rear setbacks have been exceeded.
Building Height
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K) (Development Matrix), within the R-1-A zone district,
the maximum building height is 35'. The proposed church is 19' high and the existing
steeple is 20' high which is less than the height limitation requirements.
Open Space
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K), within the R-1-A zone district, 25% of open space is
required and 32% has been provided. Thus, the open space requirement has been
exceeded.
Site Plan Technical Items:
The following are items that do not require specific action of the Board, however, the
items must be addressed with the submittal of revised plans.
1. The City standard parking stall striping detail must be indicated on the plans.
HPB Staff Report
House of God Church-COA-330 (Site Plan Modification Approval)
Page 4
2. Drainage calculations and exfiltration trench test results must be provided, and a
french drain detail must be indicated on the plans.
3. A paving cross section and a type "D" curb detail must be indicated on the plans.
4. Existing and proposed perimeter grades must be indicated. Also, the existing
grades on the adjacent properties must be indicated.
5. The trash enclosure details must be indicated on the plans.
6. Under the site data, the building height should be indicated as 20' and not 27'.
Alley Abandonment
Along the west side of the property there is.an existing 16' wide unimproved alley right-
of-way. In order to provide the 23 parking spaces as provided in the attached plan, the
alley must be abandoned, which would add an additional 8' to the subject property.
At its meeting of February 24, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board approved a
conditional use modification request for the conversion of the existing parsonage to a
multi-purpose facility along with 584 sq. ft. of building additions with the condition that
the applicant submit an abandonment application and design the site accordingly to
incorporate the abandoned portion of the alley, however, should the abandonment fail
through the Public Hearing process, the "Primary Site Plan" will be implemented.
Since the submittal of the site plan and abandonment applications in October, 1997, the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) amended the West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Plan in February, 1998, to indicate the agency's intent to purchase
various properties within this block (Block 36) and make the properties available for
redevelopment. The redevelopment plan includes improvement of the alley through the
installation of a pedestrian walkway, landscaping and lighting. Thus, at its meeting of
May 13, 1998, the CRA recommended denial of the abandonment request.
Given these circumstances, it is recommended that the alley not be abandoned, and
that the site plan must be modified so that all the parking spaces are located on-site. In
order to accommodate all 23 spaces, the required perimeter landscape strip along the
west side of the property must be waived, or must be allowed to encroach into the alley
right-of-way through the use of a landscape maintenance agreement (see the attached
Alternative Site Plan). This type of situation was permitted for the Stofft/Hasey Office
Building on Swinton Avenue.

Declaration of Unity of Title
The development proposal includes improvements across property lines, therefore it is
appropriate to combine the properties through a Declaration of Unity of Title, which
must be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit.
The perimeter landscaping will consist of Green Buttonwood trees. At the perimeter of
the parking areas, a Silver Buttonwood hedge is to be provided with a Cocoplum hedge
to be installed around the base of the structure. The interior landscape islands will be
provided with Live Oak trees and sod. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(E)(5), a third
tree species must be provided. Also, LDR Section 4.6.16(E)(1) states that xeriscape
principles shall be utilized on the landscape designs and installations. Thus, ground
covers should be provided within the landscape areas and islands adjacent to the
parking lot. In order to provide 23 parking spaces on the site, a landscape waiver must
be granted which is discussed below.
WAIVER ANALYSIS:
Associated with this development proposal is waiver request to LDR Section
4.6.16(H)(3)(a) (Perimeter Landscaping):
LDR Sections 4.6.16(H)(3)(a)
Pursuant to LDR Sections 4.6.16(H)(3)(a), a 5' wide landscape area must be
provided between the off-street parking area and the adjacent right-of-way. The
request is to provide the landscape strip within the north/south alley right-of-way.
Required Findings:
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body
shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver:
(a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area;
•
(b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities;
(c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; 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.
HPB Staff Report
House of God Church -COA-330 (Site Plan Modification Approval)
Page 6
In order to accommodate 23 parking spaces on the site without abandoning the alley,
the required 5' wide landscape buffer cannot be accommodated on the property itself.
While the landscape buffer will not provided on-site, the required hedge and trees will
be installed within the alley. The alley is currently not improved, however, it is to be
improved as a pedestrian walkway/corridor which will include paver block walkway,
landscaping and lighting. Given the above circumstances it seems appropriate to
approve the waiver request. The waiver request will not adversely affect the
neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, nor create an unsafe
situation. The granting of the waiver would not result in a special privilege, as the
same request would be granted on another property, given similar circumstances for
another applicant or owner.
Landscape Plan Technical Items:
The following are items that do not require specific action of the Board, however, the
items must be addressed with the submittal of revised plans.
1. Landscape calculations must be provided on the plans.
2. The landscape plan must be prepared by and bear the seal of a landscape architect
otherwise be prepared by persons authorized to prepare drawings by Chapter 481,
Part II, Florida Statutes.
3. A plant list must be indicated on the landscape plan.
4. At the southeast corner of the site the hedge must extend the along the entire length
of the parking spaces [ref. LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(a)].
:<:>;>:<:>::>::>::»::::>::>::>::::>::»::::»::>::>::»::::>::>:::
At its meeting of May 6, 1998, the HPB reviewed the elevations at a pre-application
meeting. At that time, the Board made comments which related to the following:
❑ retain the existing steeple;
❑ provide some variation or relief on the front facade (undulate);
❑ relocate the handicapped ramp from the front entrance to the side entrance along
N.W. 1st Street.
❑ Removal of front porch columns;
The revised elevations seem to address a majority of the Board's comments. The
building will be painted white and the asphalt shingled roof will be gray or white. The
railing for the handicapped ramp must be provided with a vertical railing. The trash
receptacle area will be enclosed with a wood fence with vision obscuring gates. The
Based upon the revised elevations, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR
Section 4.5.1.

...................................
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(d)(Class IV Site Plan Modification), a Class IV
site plan modification is a modification to a site plan which represents either a
significant change in the intensity of use, or significant changes which affect the
spatial relationship among improvements on the land, requiring full review of
Performance Standards found in LDR Section 3.1.1.
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 consistency with
the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and
Compliance with the Land Development Regulations.
With the Conditional Use Modification approval of February 24, 1997, positive findings
were made with respect to Future Land Use Map Consistency, Concurrency,
Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations, provided conditions of approval were addressed. Pursuant to LDR
Section 2.4.5(G)(5), this minor modification does not significantly impact the previous
findings. However, the applicable Concurrency items as they relate to this development
proposal are discussed below.
Drainage:
A drainage plan has been submitted indicating that drainage will be retained on site via
an exfiltration system. There are no problems anticipated meeting LWDD
requirements. There are no problems anticipated meeting LWDD requirements and
obtaining a permit.
Streets and Traffic:
The subject property is located within the TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exception Area),
which encompasses the CBD (Central Business District), OSSHAD (Old School Square
Historic Arts District) and the West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor. The TCEA
exempts the above described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance. As the property is located within the West Atlantic
Avenue Business Corridor, a traffic study is not required for concurrency purposes,
however, a traffic statement will be necessary at the time of building permit for impact
fee purposes. Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to traffic
concurrency can be made.
HPB Staff Report

Solid Waste:
Pursuant to the Solid Waste Authority's trash generation rates, the trash generated
each year by the 1,134 sq.ft. conversion and 584.5 sq.ft. addition will be 1.31 (1,718.5
sq.ft. total floor area) will be 1.31 tons per year compared to the 1.99 tons per year
generated by the existing single family home. Thus, the proposal will result in a
reduction of trash generated.
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 Modification Analysis of this report, a positive finding of
compliance with the LDRs can be made, provided the waiver is granted and conditions
of approval are addressed.
LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5) (Findings)
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5), a Class IV modification is subject to the
same findings as a new submittal [LDR Section 2.4.5(F)].
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(F)(5)(Findings), -in addition to provisions of Chapter
Three, the approving body must make a finding that the development of the
property pursuant to the site plan will be harmonious with the 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 by the R-1-A zone district on the north south and west
sides, and to the east is zoned CF (Community Facilities). Compatibility with the
surrounding properties is not a concern. This proposal will provide improvements to •
existing historic structures and will provide on-site parking where none currently exists.
Also, this proposal will further the desired revitalization of the West Atlantic Avenue
corridor.
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
At its meeting of May 13, 1998, the Community Redevelopment Agency Board
reviewed the development proposal. While the Board supported the improvements,
they recommended denial of the alley abandonment as it is intended to be improved
with a walkway, landscaping and lighting.

Project Name: COA-302-Continuation
Project Location: 708 S.E. 3rd Street, Marina Historic District
The action requested of the Board is that of approval to allow an existing chain
link fence, which is visible from the street to remain.
The chain link fence was installed without a permit or COA. It extends from the
northwest corner of the property to the Intracoastal Waterway. A ficus hedge
has been planted which almost obscures the fence. While the fence is not
located in the front of the property, it is visible from S.E. 3rd Street.
The hedge almost hides the fence, however, the inherent danger in approving a
chain link fence, even though it is completely screened by a hedge, is that a
future owner.will not maintain the hedging.
As the fence is not in the front of the property, the Board may approve it.
However staff recommends that the approval have the following condition:
• If the hedge is not maintained to screen the fence, the fence
must be removed.
1. Deny, with reasons stated.
2. Approve as presented.
3. Approve with the above condition.
Board's discretion.
