ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is consideration of Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) 2017-145 and Class
I Site Plan Modification for installation of a new canopy and paved area on property located at 142
South Ocean Boulevard —Sandoway Discovery Center, an individually designated historic structure
and property, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H).
BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at 142 S. Ocean Boulevard, which is at the northwest corner of South
Ocean Boulevard and Ingraham Avenue. The Sandoway Discovery Center is located within the circa
1936 Resort Colonial structure. The structure is one of the last remaining Resort Colonial houses in
town and it is believed the architect of record was Samuel Ogren, Sr., Delray Beach's first registered
architect. The home was rehabilitated under the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation
and opened to the public as a nature center in 1998.
The current proposal is to install a 20' x 30' concrete slab and white canvas awning structure along the
north side of the property adjacent to the City of Delray Beach - Sandoway Public Parking lot. The
request is part of an overall plan to improve functions and facilities operations for the Sandoway
Discovery Center. Currently, the Center is host to school-aged children during field trips and the 20' x
30' area will serve as a shaded staging area for fieldtrip goers.
While the subject property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the improvements do not
affect the integrity of the historic structure and the State of Florida's Division of Historical Resources
has been notified of the request.
The subject COA request is now before the Board.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), Prior to approval, a finding must be made that any
Certificate of Appropriateness to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes
pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically
with provisions of Section 4.5.1, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
Based on the above, positive findings can be made with respect to compliance with the Standards.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K), a 10' perimeter setback is required for properties within the
CF zoning district.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21(H)(1), The perimeter setback area, when provided, shall be a
landscaped area within which no paving shall be allowed except for driveways and walkways
leading to structures on the premises. Such driveways and walkways shall be generally
perpendicular to the property line.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21(H)(2), when this zone district is adjacent to residential zoning,
the perimeter landscape area should be increased to a depth of fifteen feet (15'); or, as an
alternative, either a wall, decorative fencing, or hedging should be installed for aesthetic and
buffer purposes.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed slab and canopy will adhere to the required setbacks and
that the required perimeter setback area is currently landscaped. It is also noted that a concrete block
wall exists along the western property line, meeting the requirements for buffering and aesthetic
purposes and the proposed improvements are setback at least 30' from the west property line and 10'
from the north property line; however, a note needs to be provided on the site plan indicating that the
proposed improvements are setback at least 30' from the west property line, 10' from the northern
property line and that the setback areas are landscaped. This item has been added as a condition of
approval.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is the consideration of Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) (2017-044) and
Class IV Site Plan requests associated with the adaptive reuse and addition to a structure previously
occupied by a Child Care Facility on the property located at 219 Dixie Boulevard, Del-Ida Park
Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H).
BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property consists of .32 acres (Lots 13 & 14, Block 11, Del-Ida Park) within the Residential
Office (RO) zoning district. A circa 1950, one-story, ranch style structure is located on the property, and
is classified as contributing in the Del-Ida Park Historic District. In 1987, the structure was converted to
a Child Care Facility known as Kids World and an addition was added on to the north side (rear) of the
structure. The addition is considered non-contributing as it was not original to the structure. The Child
Care Facility is no longer operating and the subject structure is currently vacant.
The subject request is a Class IV Site Plan request consists of renovation of the existing 2,138 sq. ft.
contributing structure and a 2,512 sq. ft. addition converting the use from a Child Care Facility to an
office, along with associated site improvements including 11 parking spaces on the east and south
sides of the property.
The front elevation of the historic structure will not be altered, and the color scheme will remain as
exists. The proposed renovation and addition consist of the following:
• Demolition of a 313 sq. ft. portion of the 1986 addition (non-contributing) on the north side (rear)
of the existing structure;
• Demolition of a 300 sq. ft. portion of the existing contributing structure; and,
• Addition of a 2,512 sq. ft. addition to the north side (rear) of the structure —the overall building
will contain 3,940 sq. ft.
Site improvements consist of the following:
• Provision of a 11 spaces within 2 parking areas, a new 5 space parking area on the west side of
the new addition and reconfiguration of the existing 6 space area on the south side (front) of the
structure;
• A two-way concrete driveway, provides access from Dixie Boulevard to the new parking area to
the rear of the structure;
• Installation of 7, decorative, freestanding light fixtures on the west (side) and south (front) sides
of the property adjacent to the parking areas and drive aisle; and,
• Landscaping improvements throughout the site.
The COA and Class IV Site Plan are now before the Board for consideration.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall be specifically addressed by the body
taking final action on the site and development proposal.
LDR Section 4.4.17 — Residential Office (RO)
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(B)(3) — Principal Uses and Structures: Within the RO zoning
district, Business, Professional, and Medical offices are listed as a Permitted Use.
The proposed business office is permitted within the RO zoning district.
219 Dixie Boulevard; 2017-044-SPF
HPB Meeting June 7, 2017
Page 2 of 11
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(F)(1) — Property Development Standards: The standards as set
forth in Section 4.3.4 shall apply:
Required Proposed/Existing
Lot Coverage (Max) 40% 28.2% _
Setbacks
Front (South) 25' 39.8' (Existing)
Side Interior(West) 7'6" 51'2" (Proposed) &26'10" (Existing)
Side Interior (East) 7'6" 7'6" (Proposed) &20'8" (Existing)
Rear(North) 10' 10'
Open Space (Min) 25% 26.2%
The chart above illustrates compliance with the required development standards; therefore, positive
findings with this code requirement can be made.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(G)(2) — Parking: The parking required for business, medical, and
professional offices shall be at the standard of one space per three hundred square feet of net
floor area (1/300). However, this requirement may be reduced to 1/400, or at least by one
parking space, when there is a mix of residential and office use in the same structure or for an
existing structure on a property located within a designated historic district or an individually
designated historic site.
Based upon the above, the parking calculation is 1 space per 400 square feet and the 3,845 net sq. ft.
building requires approximately 9.61 parking spaces. 11 parking spaces have been provided, which
consist of one handicap space, 3 compact spaces, and 7 standard spaces
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(G) - Supplemental District Regulations: Additional regulations
as set forth in Article 4.6 are applicable.
A review of Article 4.6 is provided further in this report.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17 (H) - Special Regulations:
(1) All buildings and structures shall appear to be residential in character regardless of the
actual use therein, shall be kept in a sound and attractive condition, and in established
neighborhoods shall be generally compatible in architectural style and scale with the
surrounding area.
(2) A building or structure in the RO District may contain either a residential use, an office
use, or a mix of uses.
(3) All parking for nonresidential principal uses and conditional uses shall be located in the
side or rear yard or adjacent to a rear alley. No parking shall be located in the area
between any street and the structure (building). Where there are existing buildings,
administrative relief[Section 2.4.7(D)] may be sought from this subsection (3) provided it
is determined that compliance with these provisions is not feasible and that the
residential character of the area will be maintained and that such parking area shall be
substantially screened from off-premises view by, at least, a four-foot high,hedge.
The proposed adaptive reuse and addition to the contributing structure within the Del-Ida Park Historic
District is appropriate and strives to maintain the existing residential character by limiting the alterations
to the rear of the structure. As previously noted, there are two parking areas for the facility, a new five
5 space parking area to the rear and side of the existing structure, situating the new parking behind the
foremost wall plane and a reconfiguration of the existing 6 space parking area in the front of the existing
structure.
219 Dixie Boulevard; 2017-044-SPF
HPB Meeting June 7, 2017
Page 3 of 11
Two driveway access points exist on the east side of the subject property providing access from Dixie
Boulevard. The south access point is proposed to be shifted to the south to allow access to the new
parking in the rear. The driveway along the north side will remain in its current location and will
continue to provide access to the newly reconfigured parking area in the front of the property. It is noted
that the applicant coordinated with the City of Delray Beach Engineer to ensure the proper relocation of
the existing speedhump within the Dixie Boulevard right-of-way, safeguarding that any traffic conflicts
between the proposed driveways and the speedhump would be eliminated.
In regards to Subsection (3) above, parking currently exists which faces the street, and is forward of the
structure (between the street and structure), thereby not 100% compliant with the regulation, which is
not feasible and is an existing non-conformity. The applicant is proposing reconfiguration of this
parking area to reduce the amount of paved area forward of the building, including additional
landscaping in front of the structure. Further, all vehicular use areas will be screened from the right-of-
way by hedging and ground cover to include Small Leaf Clusea and Dwarf Asian Jasmine. Said
material will be maintained at 48" as is required by the LDRs.
Article 4.6, Supplemental District Regulations
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.8 — Lighting: All developments/redevelopments are encouraged to
utilize energy efficiency lighting. The maximum height for luminaires on buildings and
structures is 25' or eave overhang, whichever is lower, and 25' for a parking lot. All perimeter
exterior lighting shall be full cutoff luminaries to minimize spillover on adjacent properties. In
order to decrease urban glow, no luminaries shall be directed upwards.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.8(A)(3) — Illumination Standards: The applicable illumination
standards are as follows:
FOOT CANDLES
Maximum Permitted Minimum Permitted Provided
Commercial Parking Lot 12 1.0 4.2—0.2
Building Entrances 10 1.0 4.2—0.2
There are 7 freestanding light fixtures proposed within the parking and driveway areas which measure
approximately 12' in height to the top of the fixture, as well as 3 wall mounted lights on the side and
front elevations installed at seven feet in height
The submitted photometric plan illustrates minimal spillover to the adjacent properties with a maximum
of 0.7 on the properties to the rear, which contain residential uses and 0.1 spillover provided on the
property to the sides, which contain a child-care facility and architect's office, respectively.
The photometric plan is in compliance with the Illumination Standards listed above, and within an
appropriate foot candle range given the residential neighborhood where it will be located, and the
residential uses adjacent to and across the street from the property
LDR Section 4.6.9 — Off-Street Parking Regulations: LDR Section 4.4.17(G)(2), states the
requirements are 1 space per 400 sq. ft. for business offices within existing structures. The proposed
business office requires 9.61 spaces and 11 spaces have been provided; thus, the requirements for off-
street parking have been met.
219 Dixie Boulevard; 2017-044-SPF
HPB Meeting June 7, 2017
Page 4 of 11
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(1)(g) — Compact Car Parking: Up to 30% of the required
parking for any use may be designated for compact cars. Such approval may be granted
concurrent with approval of the site and development plan. Spaces which are provided in
excess of the number required may also be designated and designed as "compact car parking".
The applicant has included 3 parking spaces for compact cars within the area to the rear of the
structure and has indicated that these spaces will be utilized primarily by employees. Also, pursuant to
LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(7), Compact Car Parking shall be clearly marked with markings including
"compact car only" painted on the required wheel stops. The applicant has indicated the compact
parking spaces will be marked as required by the LDRs.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3) — Points of Access to the Street System: The minimum
width, the point of access to a street or alley shall not be less than 20' for a two-way private
driveway which has less than 200 ADT (Average Daily Trips).
The driveway meets this requirement as it provides 20' in width and is a private driveway with less than
200 ADT.
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) Review
The City's Certified CPTED Practitioner from the Police Department analyzed the plan for compliance
with the following CPTED Principles: Natural Access Control, Natural Surveillance, Lighting and
Landscaping, and Safety Security. The CPTED review suggested that surveillance/security cameras be
considered, especially in the parking areas and throughways. The applicant has indicated that he
intends to install a security system equipped with cameras as part of the development proposal; thus,
the review has concluded with no outstanding issues.
LANDSCAPING
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(A) — Landscape Regulations: The objective of this article is to
improve the appearance of setback and yard areas in conjunction with the development of
commercial, industrial, and residential properties, including off-street vehicular parking and
open-lot sales and service areas in the City, and to protect and preserve the appearance,
character and value of the surrounding neighborhoods and thereby promote the general welfare
by providing minimum standards for the installation and maintenance of landscaping.
The site is minimally landscaped presently and the proposal includes the removal and replacement of
four of the five existing trees. The mature Live Oak tree that exists on the property line between the
subject property and the adjacent architect's office to the west will remain. The new landscaping, which
exceeds the minimum requirements, will consist of a variety of trees and palms (ex. Live Oak,
Christmas palms and Sliver Buttonwoods), shrubs, and groundcover.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(E)(3) — Vehicular Encroachment: There shall be no vehicular
encroachment over or into any required landscape area. In order to prevent encroachment and
maintain a neat and orderly appearance of all planting areas adjacent to parking spaces,
accessways, and/or traffic, all landscape areas shall be separated from vehicular use areas by
carstops or non-mountable, reinforced concrete curbing of the type characterized as "Type D"
in the current edition of the "Roadway and Traffic Design Standards" Manual prepared by the
State of Florida Department of Transportation, or curbing of comparable durability.
The parking area and drive aisle on the west side of the building is adjacent to a landscape area and is
separated from the landscape area by a valley gutter curb. There are 3 new Silver Buttonwood trees
and a Live Oak tree within this landscape area. In order to ensure protection of the new trees from
vehicular encroachment, a curbing of comparable durability, such as cement masonry units (CMU)
designed for landscape areas should be provided around the base of each tree along the south side of
219 Dixie Boulevard; 2017-044-SPF

the property. An example of such includes split face, curved concrete landscape block also known as
segmented concrete block. This item has been added as a condition of approval.
Technical review for compliance with the subject Landscape Regulations has been found to be
complete.

specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design
Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
In accordance with the above, the previously noted criteria have been analyzed throughout this report.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E) — Historic Preservation Sites and Districts: Development
Standards, all development regardless of use within individually designated historic properties
and/or properties located within historic districts, whether contributing or noncontributing,
residential or nonresidential, shall comply with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, these regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design
Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
In accordance with the above, the previously noted criteria have been analyzed throughout this report.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(2)(b)2 — Major and Minor development: The subject proposal
is classified as Major Development as it is "the construction, reconstruction, or alteration of a
building in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing floor area."
In accordance with the above, the subject proposal has been reviewed as a Major Development.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)1 — Buildings, Structures. Appurtenances and Parking:
Parking areas shall strive to contribute to the historic nature of the properties/districts in which
they are located by use of creative design and landscape elements to buffer parking areas from
adjacent historic structures. At a minimum, the following criteria shall be considered:
a. Locate parking adjacent to the building or in the rear.
b. Screen parking that can be viewed from a public right-of-way with fencing, landscaping, or
a combination of the two.
c. Utilize existing alleys to provide vehicular access to sites.
d. Construct new curb cuts and street side driveways only in areas where they are
appropriate or existed historically.
e. Use appropriate materials for driveways.
f. Driveway type and design should convey the historic character of the district and the
property.
The subject proposal complies with the intent of the subject regulation, as all new parking has been
situated to the rear of the historic structure and adjacent to the new addition. 6 parking spaces exist in
front of the historic structure adjacent to Dixie Boulevard, and are forward of the foremost wall plane of
the historic structure. The applicant is reducing the overall size of this parking area, installing additional
landscaping and improving connectivity to the existing structure from the adjacent sidewalk; thus,
reducing the existing non-conformity.

Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(5) — Standards and Guidelines: A historic site, building,
structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored,
preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic
Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time.
Standard 1
A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal
change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
Standard 2
The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
Standard 9
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the
historic integrity of the property and its environment.
Standard 10
New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner
that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
In consideration of the applicable Standards noted above, the proposal meets their intent by providing
an appropriate adaptive reuse of a historic structure. The structure was previously converted from a
single-family residence to a child care facility and is now proposed to be utilized as a business office.
The applicant is proposing a new building addition which will replace a portion of a 1986 non-
contributing addition. The proposed renovation of the existing structure necessitates minimal
alterations to the building, and the new addition is primarily located to the rear of the existing historic
structure; thus, the character will be minimally altered, and not negatively impacted. The new impact
resistant, aluminum framed, single hung windows are appropriate and compatible, replacing existing
awning style windows. The applicant focused the proposed addition to the rear of the structure paying
close attention to massing and scale in an effort to protect the historic integrity of the property and the
surrounding area. Finally, the new addition has been designed to ensure that should it be removed in
the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be
unimpaired.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8)(a-m) — Visual Compatibility Standards: new construction
and all improvements to both contributing and noncontributing buildings, structures and
appurtenances thereto within a designated historic district or on an individually designated
property shall be visually compatible. In addition to the Zoning District Regulations, the Historic
Preservation Board shall apply the visual compatibility standards provided for in this Section
with regard to height,width, mass, scale, façade, openings, rhythm, material, color, texture, roof
shape, direction, and other criteria set forth elsewhere in Section 4.5.1. Visual compatibility for
minor and major development as referenced in Section 4.5.1(E)(2) shall be determined by
utilizing criteria contained in (a)-(m) below.
The Visual Compatibility Standards listed in this Section have been addressed by the proposal.
Minimal, yet appropriate and compatible, alterations have been made to the structure, and those
219 Dixie Boulevard; 2017-044-SPF
HPB Meeting June 7, 2017
Page 7 of 11
significant alterations made to the site are also appropriate, and their individual review for compliance
with technical requirements has been provided.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1, Required Findings, Prior to the approval of development
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is a 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.
(A) FUTURE LAND USE MAP: The resulting use of land or structures must be allowed in the
zoning district within which the land is situated and said zoning must be consistent with the
applicable land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The subject property has a FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation of TRN (Transitional) and zoning
designation of RO. The zoning district is consistent with the TRN Future Land Use Map designation.
The proposed office use is permitted, and therefore, appropriate. Thus, positive findings can be made
with respect to Future Land Use Map consistency
(B) CONCURRENCY: Concurrency must be met and a determination made that the public
facility needs, including public schools, of the requested land use and/or development
application will not exceed the ability of the City and The School District of Palm Beach County
to fund and provide, or to require the provision of, needed capital improvements in order to
maintain the Levels of Service Standards established in Table CI-GOP-1 of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The applicable Concurrency items are noted as follows:
Streets and Traffic: A traffic statement has been submitted that indicates the proposed net building
increase will generate 23 new average daily trips (1 new am peak hour trips, 7 less pm peak hour trips).
Staff does not anticipate a negative impact from this request; however, a condition of approval has
been included that the applicant provides a letter from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division,
indicating that a positive finding for concurrency has been made.
Solid Waste: Solid waste generation will increase from 3.74 tons per year to 6.89 tons per year (3,940 x
3.5/2,000 = 6.89). The Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to
handle all development proposals through the year 2046.
Drainage: Drainage and water run-off will be addressed through the use an exfiltration trench system
which connects the gutters to the below ground system and a sloped elevation for all parking area and
driveway runoff to lead into. There should be no impact on drainage as it relates to this level of service
standard.
(C) CONSISTENCY: A finding of overall consistency may be made even though the action will
be in conflict with some individual performance standards contained within Article 3.2, provided
that the approving body specifically finds that the beneficial aspects of the proposed project
(hence compliance with some standards) outweighs the negative impacts of identified points of
conflict.
As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of consistency can be made as it relates to Standards for
Site Plan Actions, subject to compliance with the recommended direction.

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 Objective A-1 Property shall be developed or redeveloped, in a manner so that
the future use, intensity and density are appropriate in terms of soil, topographic, and other
applicable physical considerations; encourage affordable goods and services; are
complementary to and compatible with adjacent land uses; and fulfill remaining land use needs.
The adaptive reuse of the subject property from a child care facility to an business office is consistent
with the subject Objective. With respect to the adjacent land uses, the property is surrounded by a mix
of uses, including a child care facility, Assisted Living Facility, an architect's office, a duplex, and
numerous single-family residences. The property is in a transitional area zoned for both residential and
office, which will complement the neighborhood. The proposal is appropriate and thereby consistent
with the subject Objective.
Future Land Use Objective A-4 The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the
preservation of historic resources. The objective shall be met through continued adherence to
the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and, where applicable, to architectural design
guidelines through the following policies:
Future Land Use Policy A-4.1 Prior to approval or recommending approval of any land use or
development application for property located within a historic district or designated as a
historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a finding that the requested action is
consistent with the provisions of Section 4.5.1 of the Land Development Regulations relating to
historic sites and districts and the "Delray Beach Design Guidelines".
The proposed adaptive reuse inherently provides for the preservation of a historic resource in the Del-
Ida Park Historic District. As indicated in this report, positive findings with respect to the LDRs have
been made, more specifically to LDR Section 4.5.1, which provides the review criteria for properties
within historic districts. As a result, the proposal could be deemed to be consistent with the subject
Objective and Policy.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject development proposal at its
meeting of January 12, 2017, and recommended approval.
ASSESSMENT& CONCLUSION
The proposed site plan and improvements for 219 Dixie Boulevard at the subject property through the
adaptive reuse of a contributing structure and proposed addition is appropriate and compatible, which
will have a positive impact on the mixed-use neighborhood. The property is surrounded by a variety of
established uses, many of which are located within a contributing structure, including a child care
facility, an Assisted Living Facility, an architect's office, a duplex, and numerous single-family
residences. The site improvements strive to minimally impact the neighborhood with a significant
amount of landscaping being utilized to assist in screening the parking area. The large Live Oak tree to
the side of the structure will be maintained.
Based on the above, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5).
