Applicant Delray MRI Partnership Agent Michael Weiner Weiner&Morici, P.A. Location On the northeast corner of NW 1st Avenue and NW 1st Street. Property Size 0.432 Acres City Land Use Plan Mixed Use City Zoning OSSHAD(Old School Square Historic Arts District) Adjacent Zoning North:OSSHAD East:OSSHAD South:OSSHAD West:CF(Community Facilities) Existing Land Use Existing duplex and a vacant single family residential structure with garage. Development Proposal COA and site plan approval for a new 5,600 square foot medical office and conversion of the 1,375 square foot residence to a medical office structure, with attendant parking and landscaping. Water Service Lateral connection to an existing 8"water main in the NE 1st Street right-of-way. Sewer Service Lateral connection to an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in the 16' alley to the east of the property. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD : The action before the Board is that of approval of COA 8-246 which incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for the Open M.R. I . of Delray: * Site Plan * Landscape Plan * Architectural Elevations. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of N.W. 1st Avenue and N.W. 1st Street. BACKGROUND : The previous use of the subject property has been residential. City records indicate that the existing structure, a five bedroom wood frame single family home, was constructed in 1926 . A separate garage was constructed in 1946 . The above structures remain on the site, but are not occupied. In February, 1995, plans were submitted to develop a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and medical office facility at the subject site. New development within the OSSHAD district is required to obtain site plan approval from the Historic Preservation Board. Therefore, the site plan, landscape plan, and architectural elevations are now before the Board for consideration. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS : PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Open MRI of Delray is to be constructed in phases which will include the following: * Phase I - 2,000 sq. ft. of the first floor to be devoted to the MRI facility. * Phase II - Balance of the first floor ( 1,700 sq. ft. ) and the second floor ( 1,900 sq. ft. ) to be devoted to future medical offices. * Associated parking and landscaping. Note - Another phase is to be provided within the residential structure to the north which is to be indicated on the existing plan. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 2 COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: Right-of-Way Dedication: Currently, N.W. 1st Avenue contains 40 ' of right-of-way and N.W. 1st Street contains 50 ' of right-of-way. Pursuant to Section 5 . 3 . 1(D) (2) , local roads without curb and gutter are required to have a total of 60 ' of right-of-way, therefore a 5 ' right-of-way dedication is required along each side of N.W. 1st Street and a 10 ' dedication is required on each side of N.W. 1st Avenue. This requirement may be reduced upon recommendation by the City Engineer. There are no plans to widen or otherwise modify either of the subject roadways . As no additional right-of-way was required with construction of the Tennis Center and the CRA parking lot (both on N.W. 1st Avenue) , it is appropriate that additional right-of-way not be required from the MRI facility. Likewise, as no additional right-of-way was required from Weiner and Associates and Damiano's (both on N.W. 1st Street) , it is appropriate that no right-of-way be required from the project along N.W. 1st Street. The City Engineer has no objections to granting a waiver to this requirement. Landscape Buffer: Pursuant to LDR Section 4 . 6 . 16(H) (3) (a) , a 5 ' landscaped strip is required along property lines that abut rights-of-way. This code requirement has not been met along the eastern property line. Where 5 ' is required, only 3 ' has been provided. The applicant has provided a waiver request to the City Commission to accommodate this situation. After review the City Horticulturist has advised that 3 ' is not sufficient width to plant or support the required trees . The intent of the above referenced code section is to buffer properties from adjacent rights-of-way. The right-of-way in question is a recently improved 16 ' alley that was improved as a part of the City's Alleyway Improvement Program. It is used extensively, therefore the required landscape buffer would serve the intended purpose and should be required. Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4 . 6 . 9 (D) (3) (b) , parking lots with 21-50 spaces require a minimum stacking distance of 20 ' before the first parking space. Nineteen parking spaces are required for the MRI facility, however 22 spaces with a stacking distance of 5 ft. are provided. Also, pursuant to LDR Section 4 .4 .24 (G) ( 3) , parking, other than single family homes and duplexes, is not allowed within the front yard. As N.W. 1st Street is considered the front of the property, the first two parking spaces are located within the front yard. The stacking distance requirement is intended to prevent cars from backing up into the public right-of-way. BY- deleting the first two parking spaces within the front yard, only approximately 5 ft. of the next two parking spaces will be located within the stacking area. Staff feels that this would be an acceptable situation. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 3 Parking is not allowed within the front yards in the OSSHAD district in order to maintain the character of the district. Directly east of the proposed M.R. I. facility exists an attorney's office. Parking for the attorney's office is also accessed from N.W. 1st Street, however the parking is not beyond the front of the building. By deleting the first two parking spaces of the M.R. I. building, the landscape corridor and character along N.W. 1st Street is maintained. Front Yard Setback: Pursuant to LDR Section 4 .3 .4(K) (Development Matrix) , the front yard setback within the OSSHAD district is required to be 25 ft. The site plan for the M.R. I . facility indicates a 15 ft setback along the N.W. 1st Street frontage. The applicant received a variance from the Board to accommodate this situation at the March 15th meeting. Wellfield Protection: Pursuant to LDR Section 4 .5.5(B) (3) (a) , whenever development of a non-residential use occurs within a wellfield zone, the developer is required to notify Palm Beach County' s DERM (Department of Environmental Resources Management) through the filing of an "affidavit of notification. " As the M.R. I . facility uses an electromagnetic field and is located within wellfield zones one and two, the aforementioned affidavit is required. The applicant submitted the required affidavit and the affidavit has been forwarded to PBC-DERM. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable policy is noted. Land Use Element Objective A-4 - The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the preservation of historic resources. This objective shall be met through continued adherence to the City' s Historic Preservation Ordinance. This objective is being met by adhering to the historic preservation guidelines and the Historic Preservation Ordinance. Technical Items: While revised plans have been submitted, the following site plan items are outstanding, and will need be addressed prior to building permit submittal. 1. Provision of a Unity of Title binding the north property to the main MRI site. 2 . Indicating the structure on the north property as a phased development of the medical office on both the-site plan and landscape plan. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 4 3 . Provision of building materials, including the type of exterior siding; roofing material; window specifications; exterior doors and color samples . 4 . Relocation of existing Royal Poinciana tree. 5 . Provision of light details. 6 . Provision of curbing to separate all vehicular use area. 7 . Revising conflicts between proposed trees and lights . 8 . Provision of required landscape notes on the plan. 11. Provision of handicapped accessibility to the second floor with the development of Phase II . ARCITECTURAL E L E VAT I O N S : The proposed structure will be built using the vernacular style. Phase I will be one story, while Phase II will be one and two stories . The proposed building will be constructed using vinyl coated siding on all elevations and asphalt shingles on the roof. Louvered vents are shown at the top of the stepped gabled roofs. Double hung style windows with muttons are proposed throughout the structure. Single and double french doors are provided along the east, south, and west sides . The applicant has not provided any proposed colors or materials . These will need to be presented to the Board for proper consideration. LAND S CAP E ANALYSIS : The landscape plan indicates Live Oak trees and a grouping of Sabal Palms along the west property line. The north property line uses Live Oaks and a Cocoplum Hedge as its buffer. A combination of Live Oaks, Mahoganies, and Viburnum Hedge will be used along the alley on the eastern property line. Along the south property line Live Oaks are again proposed. A Cocoplum Hedge is proposed as ground cover around the perimeter of the building, with Mahogany and Live Oak trees scattered throughout the site. Minor comments such as reorienting some of the proposed landscaping and adding additional depth to the proposed landscaped areas has been proposed, otherwise the landscape plan is sufficient. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 5 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 subject property has a Mixed Use land use designation and an OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) zoning designation. The OSSHAD zoning district is consistent with the Mixed Use land use plan designation. Pursuant to LDR Section 4 .4 .24 (B) (2) , within OSSHAD, professional offices are allowed as a permitted use. Based upon the above, it is appropriate to make a positive finding with respect to the Future Land Use Map. 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, drainage, streets and traffic, 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 Section of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the LDR' s can be made, upon addressing all outstanding items attached as conditions of approval. Section 2 .4 .5 (F) (5) - Compatibility tSite 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 cause substantial depreciation of property values . The subject property is bordered on the north, east, and south by the OSSHAD zone district, and on the west by the CF (Community Facilities) zone district. North is a vacant lot, south is a single family structure, east is an attorney's office, and west is the Delray Beach City Hall . The proposed medical office is compatible with other governmental and business offices within the OSSHAD district, therefore a positive finding with respect to compatibility can be made. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 6 REVIEW BY OTHERS: The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) reviewed the M.R. I . facility on March 9 , 1995 . The Agency recommended approval of the plan as submitted. The subject project is not located within an area that requires review by the DDA (Downtown Development Authority) . A special notice has been mailed to the Old School Square Property Owners Association. Any letters of objection will be presented to the Board during the regular meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION: A medical office at the subject site will serve the intent of the OSSHAD district and further enhance the area. Compatibility is not a concern as other businesses, government offices, and restaurants exist close by. An additional office development, particularly at this location, can only help facilitate the City' s goal for the downtown area. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS : A. Continue with direction. B. Approve the site plan, landscape plan, and architectural elevations for the Open M.R. I . of Delray based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) , and Section 2 .4 . 5 (F) (5) (Finding of Compatibility) of the Land Development Regulations and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to conditions . C. Deny the site plan, landscape plan, and architectural elevations with basis stated. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: By Separate Motions : A. Waiver 1 . Approve the request to waive the required 10 ft. right-of-way dedication along N.W. 1st Avenue and the 5 ft. right-of-way dedication along N.W. 1st Street. 2 .

HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 8 Attachments: * Appendix A * Appendix B * Location Map * Site Plan * Landscape Plan HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 9 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: * Water service is provided to the site via a service lateral connection to the existing 8" water main located within the N.W. 1st Avenue right-of-way. * Sewer service is provided to the site via a service lateral connection to an existing 8" sewer main located within the alley right-of-way directly east of the subject property. * Adequate fire suppression is provided via an existing fire hydrant located at the northeast corner of N.W. 1st Avenue and N.W. 1st Street. No water or sewer main extensions or upgrading is required with this development proposal. Capacity exists to serve both the water and sewer needs of this development. Streets and Traffic: Pursuant to Palm Beach County's Traffic Performance Standards, non-residential uses that generate less than 200 gross trips are exempt from providing a traffic study. Based upon the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, medical office uses generate 18.44 trips/1000 square feet of floor area. The creation of 6,975 square feet of medical office space will therefore generate 129 ADT (Average Daily Trips) . The traffic generated by this development will not have an adverse impact on the level of service standards. Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to traffic concurrency can be made. Parks and Recreation Facilities : Park dedication requirements do not apply for nonresidential uses. Thus, the proposed development will not have an impact with respect to this level of service standard. Solid Waste: Trash generated each year by medical office uses are 4 . 6 pounds per square foot per year. The increase of 5,600 sq. ft. can be easily accommodated by the existing facilities and thus, will not be significant with respect to level of service standards. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 10 Drainage: Drainage will be accommodated via construction of an on-site exfiltration system with two catch basins . Downspouts will be used to transfer stormwater to the catch basins . The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and anticipates no problems with this design. Open Space: Pursuant to Section 4 .3.4(K) (Development Matrix) , the subject property is required to provide 25% open space. Forty-four percent of open space is indicated on the landscape plan, thereby meeting this requirement. HPB Staff Report Open M.R. I . of Delray Page 11 APPENDIXB STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN ACTIONS A. Building design, landscaping, and lighting (glare) shall be such that they do not create unwarranted distractions or blockage of visibility as it pertains to traffic circulation. Not applicable Meets intent of standard X Does not meet intent B.

The purpose of the discussion is to allow the Board to comment, and give direction to the applicant, with respect to a proposed variance request from Section 4 .3 .4 (K) of the Land Development Regulations for relief from front and side set back requirements in the R-1-A Zoning District. Associated with the proposed variance is a request for a waiver from the 5 ' landscape requirement between a driveway and the property line. BACKGROUND Driveway and carport The applicant is proposing to construct a 20 'x 34 ' paver block driveway on the northwest corner of the lot, 1 ' from the west property line. A 20 ' wide single gable canvas carport adjacent to the front of the house to extend north 20 ' over the driveway is proposed. Walkway awning from the carport to the kitchen door A 4 ' 6" x 24 ' 8" matching canvas awning is proposed from the carport running south to the kitchen door, on the west side of the residence. Front porch, awning and trellis . A proposed 8 ' wide porch is to be constructed from the carport along the length of the front facade. A 9 ' wide canvas awning will serve as protection for the front porch for a distance of 26 ' from the carport. The balance of the front porch ( 17 ' ) will be shaded with a trellis. Staff Report Agenda Item V-A Page 2 ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSAL The property is located in the R-1-A Zoning District. The front setback requirement is 25 ' and the side interior setback is 7 .5 ' The house is set back 30 ' from the front property line and 7 .5 ' from the west property line. As proposed, the carport would encroach 15 ' into the front setback and 6 .5 ' into the west side setback. The walkway awning would encroach 3 ' into the west side setback for a distance of 24 ' 8" . The front porch awning and trellis supports would encroach 4 ' into the front set back for a distance of approximately 43 ' . Variances would be required for all of the above. STAFF COMMENTS Staff supports the construction of the carport providing that the variance to the side setback is reduced by locating the carport as far to the east as possible and/or reducing its width, in order to allow a landscaped area between it and the property to the west. Staff also supports the west walkway awning. Pursuant to the criteria for granting variances, Section 4 .5. 1(J) , staff cannot find justification to support the front porch variance. Additionally, staff feels that this request can only be construed as a self imposed hardship, for the following reasons: * The house is not historic. * A front porch is not typical of the 1960 's cement block construction. * A 5 ' awning canopy could be constructed within the setback to shelter the front door from the elements The applicant is aware of staff ' s inability to find justification for supporting the porch variance pursuant to the criteria set forth in 4.5. 1(J) . However, the applicant feels that the front porch will be an appropriate addition to the building's plain exterior and will enhance the property and the streetscape. The applicant has the right to proceed with the variance request as proposed. However, if the variance for the carport is granted and the porch is denied it will change the overall design concept for the front facade. Staff suggested that a discussion with the Board might be useful in terms of an alternate design for the front facade. Additionally, the Staff Report Agenda Item V-A Page 3 applicant will have an idea as to whether of not the Board supports the front porch concept and would be willing to consider granting a variance to allow its construction. y4, . brOVEV/AV /7// / 7 = 1FoRc.14 = TReLZis -31/;4oAi ,E`ZO'W/OE -U'`intiOx LENGTH of tfooF- / (ta-re/ ��C�OSPO41/6 � - gi,await; 4S?,s .✓ .... / '£X fr/A>'Iai flt ' GQ x ,ioa c/t/G940`,Eefe/epAi/ER5 _,�„�orwRc_e ��PEo c� n?L r- - LocA-r4Q /'fin. �esr PN Y li"� / '� i iGG I A/A554 lU SrK'ez-r Zoo. ��}.• IE ZO' ,',4//A/6' ` / V _ i [n4 Q r S 5 Pec ie' L25 CQ,/ 3:: l l 7.---lbo ' • �sN �, • `�� ••-.
