Many are found in former County enclaves which were annexed in 1988. An eqUal amount are located in County areas which are not yet annexed. The septic tanks in these areas are located in areas which are nearlY level to sloping and which are comprised of the following soil associations (please reference the background materials for the Land Use Ele~nent for a complete description of sOil types): · St. Lucie-Urban Land-Paloa Association · Palm Beach-Urban Land-Canaveral Association · Quartzipsamments-Urban Land-Association ~: Pg.

To meet Level of Service III requirements, replacement and additional pumps should be added to the Water Treatment Plant to provide a total capacity_ of 17.000 gpm. This improvement will be required with the completion of the southwest storage tank. · Storage Facilities: Existing storage facilities capacity of 8.5 8.88 mg is adequate to meet current demand. Future needs are based upon an LOS which provides required fire storage plus 12 hours of average daily demand. Modeling shows that this equates to 11.0 mg storage, it is recommended that additional storage capacity, and improved distribution of storage be provided through the addition of:..,~,~ ~ ,; o/. .. .. . v ... ,~* ,,'""v'""._....' ,._...'"' *~....... v. ...v'~ '~ ...~,,'"'"' ~,h...~ Fqeld~, a2.0 ! .0 mg storage facility, ta~ in the southwest, and a 0.5 .-6 mg storage facili~ t=nk ~r~d booster station in the northeast. The combined costs for long-term pumping and storage facilities is approximately $4.700.000 e'~ nnn nnn · Piping Systems: The Water Distribution System Master Plan (Hazen and Sawyer. 1992) identified ~ projects to be undertaken in order to properly accommodate demand conditions, localized fire demands, and ultimate Peak hour demands. The improvements extend beyond the planning periods used in the Comprehensive Plan. The cost for the above facilities approximates $5.800.000. am~eF eExtending mains to unserved areas approximates $13,000,000. · Water system interconnections between the City of Delray Beach's system and the systems of Boca Raton and Boynton Beach have been provided in order to accommodate emergency situations among these communities. This need was identified in the up-date of the Comprehensive Plan in 1989; and was met by completion of system interconnections to Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County. Location: Pg. III-B-9, Facility Capacity Analysis - Raw Water Supply Page 4 Location: Pg. III-B-9, Facility Capacity Analysis - Raw Water Supply Change: REVISION The City's water supply is provided from 27 24 wells in four three wellfields. The eastern wellfield (11) along Dixie Highway, the Series 20 wellfield (6) just east of 1-95, a~l the golf course wellfield (7). and the Modkami field (3). with future expansion to 12). The wells draw water from the Sudicial aquifer. There are an additional 5 wells in the eastem wellfield which are not in production due to salt water intrusion (2) and slight increases in chlorides (3), which can be utilized for emergency standby. The design capacity of the wellflelds is 49.2 mgd. pursuant to the consumptive use permit issued by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). This capacity_ assumes a total of 38 wells and includes full development of the Morikami wellfield. ,~n ,.,,,,,~ The amount of withdrawal is established by the SFWMD. through the consumptive use oermit, at 22.39 mad. ~,.,,,,h (S.~?.~.~D).

BACKGROUND: Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1 was initiated by formal action of the City Commission on March 7, 1995. It includes four amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), as well as numerous text changes. During the processing of the Plan Amendment, staff determined that the following items should be deleted from the original list of initiated items: * Revision to the Pineapple Grove neighborhood plan scope to reflect the involvement of the Mainstreet organization. This item will be considered in a future amendment once the Mainstreet organization develops its plans more fully. * An update of the status of'the redevelopment seed money. There have been no changes in policy or direction regarding this item. Therefore, no amendment was required. * An item regarding completion of renovations to Fire Stations Three and Four. These were deleted, as the projects are out for bid and will not be completed by the adoption of this Plan Amendment. The item will be considered in a later Plan Amendment. * The items related to the disposition of the snorkel park. These amendments were deleted to allow further study at the State level. City Commission Documentation Public Hearing - Transmittal of Plan Amendment 95-1 Page 2 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and Zoning Board formally reviewed the items included in the Plan Amendment at a public hearing on April 17, 1995. There was no public testimony regarding the text amendments. Public comment on the individual land use plan amendments is discussed below. The Board recommended that the City Commission approve transmittal of the proposed plan amendment, containing the material in the staff report and its attachment, and including the revisions as described above. The following is a summary of the Planning and Zoning Board's discussion and actions on the FLUM amendments that are a part of the 95-1 transmittal. For background history refer to the individual staff reports. Blood's Grove: This FLUM amendment involves 94 acres (balance of Bloods Grove), changing from the County's Land Use designation of MR-5 (Medium Residential 5 units per acre) to City designations of: 51 acres LD (Low Density), 29 acres MD (Medium Density), 4 acres OS (Open Space), and 10 acres T (Transitional). A concurrent annexation and initial zoning request are being processed and will be before the Board at a later meeting. At the public hearing several people gave qualified support of the proposal. Bob Stump (President of Crosswinds) thought the proposal was better than the one considered last year, however, he did express concern over traffic increases on Linton Boulevard. Michael Weiner, Attorney representing Del Aire spoke in support of the proposal, as long as the FLUM amendment is accompanied by the initial zoning designations and concept plan currently being considered. Two representatives (Earl Flesick and Jack Runa) from Bel Aire (west side of Military Trail) expressed concerns about traffic but supported the proposal. There was no public testimony opposing the project. After discussion the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the Future Land Use amendment request on a 5-0 vote. Northwest Corner: The proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment changes include a change in the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Low Density (up to 5 units per acre) for approximately 118.35 acres in the northwest corner of the City and a change in the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Transitional for 3.51 acres in the northwest corner of the City (Delray Storage site). The primary purpose of the amendment is to achieve consistency between the City's and the County's Land Use designation. City Commission Documentation Public Hearing - Transmittal of Plan Amendment 95-1 Page 3 At the public hearing several people from the surrounding subdivisions Country Manor, Golf Club Estates as well as from the subject properties spoke in opposition to the change citing a desire to remain rural, increased impact on services and an increase in traffic on Barwick Road and Lake Ida Roads. Three letters of opposition were also received (see attached). The Board discussed the proposal at length and some members opposed the change, others recommended the amendment be transmitted while a method to limit the density between the existing Rural Residential and Low Density be explored and others recommended approval. The Board voted 3-2 in favor of transmitting the amendment as proposed. Marina Cay: The proposal is to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay designation that currently applies to the 11.11 acre parcel. The designation was applied to accommodate the previously approved mixed use development known as Marina Cay. The Marina Cay project is no longer viable and the property has since been rezoned to RM. There was no public testimony offered regarding the proposed FLUM amendment. The Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the FLUM amendment to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation. Jones Property: The proposal is to change the Future Land Use Map designation from County HR-8 (High Density Residential 5-8 du/ac) and MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 3-5 du/ac) to City MDR (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac). The FLUM amendment was to be heard concurrently with an annexation and initial zoning of RM (Medium Density Residential) request, however, the applicant requested postponement of the annexation and rezoning action to the May P & Z meeting. There was no public testimony regarding the proposed FLUM amendment. The Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the FLUM amendment. ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION: A. Transmit Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1 to DCA as presented via the Planning and Zoning staff reports and City Commission Documentation. B. Transmit Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1 to DCA pursuant to other Commission direction. City Commission Documentation Public Hearing - Transmittal of Plan Amendment 95-1 Page 4 RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, authorize transmittal of proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1 to DCA for review pursuant to the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board, containing the material in this staff report and the attachments.

We are strongly opposed to this change. First because the density is much too high for this area. Second because the existing infrastructure, such as the roads in the area, is obviously insufficient to handle fl~e additional burden that would result from the proposed increase in density. Finally, xve view' this proposed change as one step along the way to eventual atmexation oiVour property into the city of Delray Beach. We are opposed to annexation at all costs. For us annexation means the loss of the constitutional homestead protection with respect to the largest portion of our property. To reiterate, we are strongly opposed to the proposed change. Thank you for your attemion.

Change: REVISION The FIND parcels and the City owned preservation parcel can be developed to provide additional access to the Intracoastal Waterway while maintaininq and enhancing the character of the sites as preservation Comment: The FIND and City-owned parcels may be developed to allow enhanced public access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Such development may include a boat ramp and nature trails. Any development will maintain the preservation character of the sites through preservation of mangroves, removal of exotics, and contouring to maintain proper tidal flushing. At this time, some'of the sites cgntain exotic 'plant species such as Florida Holly, particularly in upland areas. It is these upland areas which have potential for public access development.

Location: Pg. III-B-8, Performance Analysis - Water Distribution System, Pump Stations and Storage Performance Analysis - Water Distribution System, Pump Stations and Storage · Pumping Systems: The high service pumps and transfer pumps at the water treatment plant have adequate capacity to meet design conditions. In order to meet fire demand requirements with one pump out of service, suction piping at the south reservoir should be corrected. No improvements are currently necessary for standby pumping. To meet future needs a 3,500 gpm transfer pump should be added at the water treatment plant; additional pumps with a total capacity of 5,400 gpm should be added at the north reservoir; and 4,000 gpm additional pumping capacity at the south reservoir. · Storage Facilities: Existing storage facilities capacity of 6.88 mg is adequate to meet current demand.

T: \advanced\95-1 Page 37 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 95-1 SUPPORT DOCUMENT # 1 WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TRANSMISSION PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to review the status of programs and activities related to the collection and transmission of wastewater, up to delivery to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. INTRODUCTION: Disposal of waste water in Delray Beach is accomplished by collection in gravity sewer mains. These mains lead to lift stations which pump the waste, under pressure, through force mains to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are 110 of these lift stations, defining regional service areas and subareas. There are three regional force main systems (stations 50, 80 and the master lift station). 107 small capacity local lift stations make up the subregional systems. In addition to the City operated wastewater collection system, there still exist approximately 500 septic tanks within the Delray Beach Planning Area. Due to well drained soils in the area, septic systems are able to function relatively well. However, the large number of septic tanks, with their potential impact on groundwater and the potential failure of systems caused by root damage, dictate a need for their eventual replacement. As sewer mains are extended into "a 'n~ighborh0od~' the State requires that septic tanks be abandoned and connection to the sewer be made within 90 days after the sewer main becomes available. In 1989, with the development of the Comprehensive Plan, problems and needs with the wastewater collection and transmission system were identified. These included: * An on-going need to maintain and upgrade lift stations. * A need to reduce excessive infiltration/inflow (I/I) of ground water into the gravity main system. Reduction of infiltration is a cost effective method of reducing future facility cost and capital expansion costs. * Establishment of a program to extend sewer mains into unserved areas to replace septic systems. * A need to update the sewer 'master plan, taking into consideration Hew population and growth projections. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DATA AND ANALYSIS: The South Central Wastewater Treatment Facility Board is the entity having operation responsibility for treatment of sewage. The Board is comprised of the City Commissions of the Cities of Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. An Executive Director, who reports directly to the Board, oversees the daily operations of the facility. The City of Delray Beach (Public Utility Department) is responsible for the collection system within its service area. The geographic service area for that part of the wastewater treatment facility which is under the responsibility of the City of Delray Beach is shown in Figure P-1. It corresponds to the City's Planning Area plus service (through contract) to Highland Beach. The Town of Gulfstream is included in the service area; however, except for one multiple family development, other development in Gulfstream is served by septic systems. There are no plans to have central sewer extended further into Gulfstream. This area encompasses approximately 18 square miles. The area is urbanized with a complete range of land uses from rural residential to heavy industrial. The area is more than 87% developed. The design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is established by it's secondary treatment capacity which is 24 MGD. This capacity is shared equally between Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. The current demand at the plant is 14 MGD. Of this amount, 7.63 MGD is attributed to Delray Beach. The level of service ascribed to Delray Beach is 115 gpdc (gallons per day per capita). The City,s wastewater collection system consists of .approximately 90 miles of gravity sewer' and force mains 'which a~e interconnected to three master lift stations. Performance Analysis: · The City has more than 110 lift stations which are involved in the pumping of sewage to the treatment plant. Upgrading and maintenance of the lift stations requires continuing capital investment. Frequently, lift station upgrading is necessary to accommodate individual (new) development projects. An assessment of the impact of each new development upon the downstream lift stations is made a part of the site plan and subdivision review process. · A 1987 report, "Infiltration Investigation for ~he City of Delray Beach" determined that some portions of the collection system have excessive infiltration. Reduction of infiltration/inflow (I/I) is a cost effective method of reducing future facility costs and capital expansion costs. Page 2 · There are more than 1,000 septic tanks within the planning area. Many are found in former County enclaves which were annexed in 1988. An equal amount are located in County areas which are not yet annexed. The septic tanks in these areas are located in areas which are nearly level to sloping and which are comprised of the following soil associations (please reference the background materials for the Land Use Element for a complete description of soil types): · St. Lucie-Urban Land-Paloa Association · Palm Beach-Urban Land-Canaveral Association · Quartzipsamments-Urban Land-Association Each of the soils within these Associations are excessively to moderately drained with white sand bases which extend approximately 80 inches. Accordingly, the soils are good for septic systems, however, the number of systems which exist and the failure of septic systems created by root systems dictate a need for their eventual replacement. The only area in which problems with septic tanks are known to exist is by Lake Ida where a high water table exists. Other areas served by septic systems have existed for upwards of twenty years without observable problems to the systems or to water quality. The City will provide funds to provide sewer service to former enclave areas which are inhabited so that service will be available to all by the end of the second planning period (Year 2000). Sewer service will be provided to existing County areas upon formation of assessment districts or upon 'annexation at which time sewer main extensions and. connections will be requi~ed of the pr6perty owner. Needs and Recommendations: Summarizing from the previous facility and performance analysis, the following needs and recommendations are put forth for the City's Public Facilities Element. · The existing sewer collection and water distribution master plans need to be updated and thus take into consideration the new population and growth projections as contained in this Comprehensive Plan. · F~llowing the 1990 Census, reexamination of future wastewater flows should be conducted in order to verify many of the assumptions which have gone into the population estimates- and projections upon which current projections have been made. Page · Undertake a program for reduction of I/I in the sewer collection system in order to diminish needs for City participation in sewer plant expansion costs. · Establish a program, with funding, for extending water and sewer mains to unserved, inhabited areas in the City. · Reassess water and sewer rates in light of long-term capital needs and make provisions for a water and sewer revenue fund bond to cover such obligations. · Upgrade water and sewer facilities as required by the construction of projects undertaken by another unit of government. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: The ComprehenSive plan identifies the need to update the sewer master plan, together with specific issues to be assessed and specific rehabilitation programs in the following policies. Public Facilities Element Policy A-1.3 All existing septic tanks which are located in sewered or sewerable areas shall be removed from use, throughout the City pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 381.272. A program to this effect shall be prepared through the update of the Master Sewer Plan. As a part of the Master Sewer Plan Update (Objective C-l), the following shall be addressed: · an identification of critical areas shall be completed; · a program for the inspection of existing septic tanks shall be instituted; and · existing owners (operators) of septic tanks shall be informed of amortization requirements. Notwithstanding the provisions of this policy, any septic system deemed to have an adverse impact on the environment shall be abandoned and connection made to the central sewer system (see Policy C-5.3 for related policy). (B1) (82) (85) (C4) Policy A-1.4 Programming of improvements to the sewer system shall place a high priority upon the rehabilitation of portions of the original system which experience infiltration and leakage. The program includes detection and elimination of combined sewage and storm sewers. (See Policy C-5.4 for related policy). (B5)(Cl) Page'4 Objective C-1 Current data regarding the location and condition of water and sewer mains and their attendant distribution and collection facilities together with an update of system needs shall be provided through an update of the Master Water Plan and Master Sewer Plan, including atlases. These studies shall include a life-cycle analysis of system components and shall set forth preventative maintenance schedules. If not accomplished prior to FY 92/93, this item shall be a top funding priority in the FY 92/93 budget. Policy C-i.1 Until such time as the updated studies are completed, minimal expenditures shall be made on new facilities, and limited expenditures shall be made on system replacement. Policy C-1.2 Upon completion of the updated studies, the then current five year capital improvement program for water and sewer facilities shall be reviewed (pursuant to policies in the Capital Improvement Element) and revised accordingly. Objective C-2 Upgrading of current sewer collection facilities shall occur on an accelerated schedule. Upon completion of the studies identified in Objective C-l, a five year program for improvement of existing systems shall be established. It shall be funded through a utility revenue bond, and physical improvements financed by the bond shall begin within two .. years after completion of the studies. P~licy C-2.1 Until such time as the bond program is established, dedicated funding shall be provided to increase the number of manholes which are repaired on an annual basis from 10-15 to 25-30. This shall commence in FY 90/91. Policy C-2.2 Until such time as the bond program is established, dedicated funding shall be provided to increase the number of lift stations which are upgraded and repaired on an annual basis from 4-6 to 12. This shall commence in FY 90/91 and is a high priority due to the potential adversity caused by lift station failure. Policy C-2.3 Average and peak flow design capacity for the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant shall be 21 mgd and 30 mgd respectively. Thus, capacity need shall be monitored by the South Central Wastewater Regional Treatment Plant Board. Objective c-3 All unsewered areas within the City's service area shall be .sewered by the year 2000. 'page 5 WASTEWATER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN: A master plan was completed for the City by the consultant firm of Hazen and Sawyer in August, 1992. The master plan included hydraulic computer modeling of the existing wastewater transmission system, population and flow projections for the service area through the year 2000, and recommended improvements. The scope of the work was limited to the force main system. Repairs, replacements, and expansions to the gravity system are handled in-house as part of the Renewal and Replacement Program. The Master Plan defined the service area, which equates to the Planning Area (16.2 sq. mi.) for the year 2000. This area includes areas currently under County jurisdiction and areas currently unserved by sewers. Wastewater generation for the year 2000 was projected to average 9.00 mgd. This is an increase over the 1991 generation of 7.76 mgd made up of land development and expansion of the service area. Included in this figure is a projected 530,000 gpd (0.53 mgd) received into the system from Highland Beach as a bulk customer. Although not covered in detail in the Master Plan, infiltration into the system was estimated at 500,000 gpd in order to size the lift stations. It was noted that the City is working on a program to determine the infiltration volume and improve the gravity system to reduce inflow/infiltration. The current (1994) estimate of infiltration/inflow is 400,000 gpd. The Master Plan utilized computer modeling to analyze to systems at peak conditions with all lift stations pumping at the same time. The computer model is now maintained in ihouse and. is.used as a design and programming tool. Recommendations were made for improvements, both to the force mains and lift stations. Thes~ recommendations are divided into three categories, based on the urgency of the need for improvement, as follows: * Immediate Improvements - Level of Service I (FY 92 - FY 93) Correct serious problems in the East Area Transmission system, particularly the master lift station replacement and rehabilitation of 20-30 year old lift stations. Cost: $3.6 million At the present time, the only work remaining under Level of Service I is the conversion of Lift Station #3 to submersible, at an estimated cost of $85,625. * Median-Improvements - Level of Service II (FY 94 - FY 96) Rehabilitate many of the- 15-20 year old lift stations 'in the West Area. Page l 8 · ' Included in this level of service are: - Conversion of 4 lift stations to submersible installations; - Interconnection of 2 force mains; - Pump replacements at 14 lift stations; - Rehabilitation of 2 lift stations; and, - Conversion of one lift station to a duplex submersible station. * Long-term Improvements - Level of Service III (FY 97 - FY 2000) Improve the overall efficiency of the transmission system by upgrading undersized force mains and converting some lift stations to low maintenance submersibles. Cost: $1.4 million - Conversion of 3 lift stations to triplex submersible installations; - Replacement of 2 force mains; and, - Construction of 2 parallel force mains; RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: With the completion of the Master Plan, along with four years of progress in renewal, replacement and expansion of the system, a number of modifications to the Comprehensive Plan are warranted. These changes update the existing data and analysis; update goals, objectives and policies; and identify new policies to be added to the Plan. Data and Analysis The City's wastewater collection system consists of approximately 3.00 9~ miles of gravity sewer and force mains which are interconnected to three master lift stations. Performance Analysis: · There are approximately 500 ~ ~M ~ septic tanks within the planning area. Many are found in former County enclaves which were annexed in 1988. An equal amount are located in County areas which are not yet annexed. The septic tanks in these areas are located in areas which are nearly level to sloping and which are comprised of the following soil associations (please reference the background materials for the Land Use Element for a complete description of soil types): · St. Lucie-Urban'Land-Paloa Association · Palm Beach-Urban Land-Canaveral Association · Quartzipsamments-Urban Land-Association Page.9 Each of the soils within these Associations are excessively to moderately drained with white sand bases which extend approximately 80 inches. Accordingly, the soils are good for septic systems, however, the number of systems which exist and the failure of septic systems created by root systems dictate a need for their eventual replacement. The only area in which problems with septic tanks are known to exist is by Lake Ida where a high water table exists. Other areas served by septic systems have existed for upwards of twenty years without observable problems to the systems or to water quality. The City will provide funds to provide sewer service to former enclave areas which are inhabited so that service will be available to all by the end of the second planning period (Year 2000). Sewer service will be provided to existing County areas upon formation of assessment districts or upon annexation at which time sewer main extensions and connections will be required of the property owner.

INTRODUCTION: The water distribution system in Delray Beach includes a piping system to deliver potable water to customers and to provide water for fire suppression. To augment the pressure needed for fire flow demands, storage tanks and booster pumping stations are provided. In 1989, with the development of the Comprehensive Plan, problems and needs with the water distribution system were identified. These included: * A need to correct suction pumping at the South Reservoir to meet fire demand requirements with one pump out of service. * The need to add pumping capacity at the Water Treatment Plant, North and South Reservoirs to meet future demand. * A need to add storage tanks at Miller Field, in the southwest and. in the north' to .better'."distrfbute stor. age c~pabi.tity. * A need to add or upgrade piping at more than 45 locations, to accommodate customer and fire suppression demands. * A need to provide water system interconnections with Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DATA AND ANALYSIS: The Comprehensive Plan describes the water distribution system performance as follows: Performance Analysis - Water Distribution System~ Pump Stations and Storaqe · Pumping 'Systems: The high service pumps and transfer pumps at the water treatment plan have adequate capacity to meet design conditions. In order to meet fire demand requirements with one pump out of service, suction piping at the south reservoir should be corrected. No improvements are currently necessary for standby pumping. To meet future needs a 3,500 gpm transfer pump should be added at the water treatment plant; additional pumps with a total capacity of 5,400 gpm should be added at the north reservoir; and 4,000 gpm additional pumping capacity at the south reservoir. · Storaqe Facilities: Existing storage facilities capacity of 6.88 mg is adequate to meet current demand. Future needs are based upon a LOS of 15% of maximum flow or 3.3 mg; fire reserve at 1.5 mg; and emergency reserve at 25% of storage. This equates to 6.0 mg. This amount of storage is currently provided; however, it is recommended that better distribution of storage be provided through the addition of a .5 mg tank in the southeast (Miller Field), 1.0 mg tank in the southwest, and .5 mg tank in the north. The combined costs for long-term pumping and storage facilities is approximately $3,000,000. · Piping Systems: A computer system used by Post, Buckley, Schuh, & Jernigan, Inc identified more than 45 individual segments or projects to be undertaken in order, to properly accommodate demand conditions, localized fire demands, and Ultimate peak hour- demands. The improvements extend' beyond the planning periods used in the Comprehensive Plan. The cost for the above facilities and for extending mains to unserved areas approximates $13,000,000. · Water system interconnections between the City of Delray Beach's system and the systems of Boca Raton and Boynton Beach have been provided in order to accommodate emergency situations among these communities. This need was identified in the up-date of the Comprehensive Plan in 1989; and was met by completion of system interconnections to Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County. Needs and Recommendations Summarizing from the previous .facility and performance analysis, - the following needs and recommendations are 'put forth for the City's Public Facilities Element. Page 2 · The existing sewer collection and water distribution master plans need to be updated and thus take into consideration the new population and growth projections as contained in this Comprehensive Plan. · Establish a program, with funding, for extending water and sewer mains to unserved, inhabited areas in the City. · Reassess water and sewer rates in light of long-term capital needs and make provisions for a water and sewer revenue fund bond to cover such obligations. · Upgrade water and sewer facilities as required by the construction of projects undertaken by another unit of government. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need to update the Water Distribution System Master Plan, together with specific issues to be assessed in the following policies. Public Facilities Element Objective B-1 The City's water utility shall perform at the following levels of service upon adoption of this Comprehensive Plan: (cl) average design flow of the water system @ 195 gppd · storage capacity for the water system @ 15% of maximum flow plus fire reserve at 1.5 mg, plus 25% of that total. (Based on current f'igures, this amount is 6 mg). · minimum pressure for the water system @ 20 psi (2c, 2d) (Note: The above standards are currently met throughout the system). Objective C-1 Current data regarding the location and condition of water and sewer mains and their attendant distribution and collection facilities together with an update of system needs shall be provided through an update of the Master Water Plan and Master Sewer Plan, including atlases. These sthdies shall include a life-cycle -analysis of system components and shall set forth preventative maintenance schedules. If not accomplished prior to FY 92/93, this item shall be a top funding priority in the FY 92/93 budget. -. .Page3 Policy C-l.1 Until such time as the updated studies are completed, minimal expenditures shall be made on new facilities, and limited expenditures shall be made on _ system replacement. Policy C-1.2 Upon completion of the updated studies, the then current five year capital improvement program for water and -- sewer facilities shall be reviewed (pursuant to policies in the Capital Improvement Element) and revised accordingly. Objective C-4 Ail areas which are unserved and underserved by City water facilities shall have full service by the year 2000. Policy C-4.1 Limited funding shall be provided for extension of water mains until such time as the financial requirements -- for current system upgrading are determined. While provision of new water systems shall be secondary to the repair of existing facilities, the installation of upgraded lines to -- provide for adequate pressure, system reliability, and fire service to inhabited areas is a top priority. Funding shall be dedicated in the water capital improvement budget for the replacement of 5,000 feet of mains which are less than 3", with 6" or greater mains on an annual basis. Policy C-4.2 The bond issue identified in Objective C-2 shall -- also contain funds for the installation of water mains to all developed areas within the City's service area. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Several of the' needs· identified· in the Plan hav~ be~n corrected through 6onstruction projects, including: -- * A rehabilitation project at the South Reservoir was completed in 1993, supplementing the pumping capacity. - * Pumping capacity was added to the Water Treatment plant in 1993. * 1.5 million gallon (mg) storage tank was completed at Miller Field (1993). Projects have been programmed for a 0.50 mg tank in the northeast (1994); and a 2.0 mg tank in -- the southwest (2000). * Many of the identified piping projects have been completed, _ however, this need must be readdressed in light of the new Master Plan. * Water System interconnections have been provided to Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach County. .· Page 4 -- CURRENT CITY PROGRAMS: The City has a number of on-going programs and projects targeted at the maintenance, upgrade, and expansion of the water distribution system. A sampling of these programs and projects includes: Water Main Extensions This is an on-going program with annual set asides in the Capital Improvement Program. Funds are allocated in the Water and Sewer New Capital Outlay Fund. Water Main Replacement This program includes replacement of valves, backflow preventers, fire hydrants, and other equipment as well as water mains. The program is on-going with annual set asides in the Capital Improvement Program. Approximately $200,000 is allocated yearly in the Water and Sewer Renewal and Replacement Fund. Valve Exercising Program To insure operational status of isolation valves and locate valves needed repair or replacement. Backflow Device Inspection To insure operational status of backflow prevention devices to prevent contamination in the distribution system. · FUNDING PHILOSOPHY: The City's approach to funding of required upgrades tO the water distribution system is to operate, as much as possible, on a pay-as-you-go basis. Funding allocations are made yearly to accounts for renewal and replacement, and new capital outlay. These allocations are used for repairing and replacing system components, and for extending the system into unserved areas. WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN: A master plan was completed for the City by the consultant firm of Hazen and Sawyer in August, 1992. The master plan included hydraulic computer modeling of the existing water distribution system, population and flow projections for the service area through the year 2000, and recommended improvements to the storage, pumping and distribution portions of the system. The Master Plan found that the existing water distribution system (1992) was not adequate to serve the current ·connected population 1) at peak hour demand and 2) at maximum day demand plus fire flow conditions. · . 'Page 5 '.' The Master Plan defined the service area, which equates to the Planning Area (16.2 sq.mi.) for the year 2000. This area includes areas currently under County jurisdiction and areas currently unserved by water lines. The City supplies potable water to the Town of Gulfstream by contractual agreement. All water lines in Gulfstream are owned and operated by the Town. The Master Plan analyzed and forecasted daily demands for water and per capita consumption through the year 2000. In 1991, the per capita consumption was 162 gpd; for 2000, demand was conservatively estimated at 195 gpd. Recommendations were made for improvements to the water mains/lines, storage facilities and booster pumps. These recommendations are divided into three categories, based on the urgency of the need for improvement, as follows: * Immediate Improvements - Level of Service I (FY 92-93) Provide immediate fire protection in the service area and alleviating pressure deficiencies during existing peak demand conditions. The major projects included in this phase are the Northeast Transmission Main and water mains interconnecting portions of the system to alleviate pressure deficiencies. Cost: $0.6 million The improvements recommended for Level of Service I have been completed. * Median Improvements - Level Of Service II (FY 94-96) ~ Continu~ to alleviate'pressure deficiencies in the service area during fire demands and providing additional'storage capacity for fire protection. Major projects include: Northeast Storage Tank and Booster Station, upgrade of Pumping Capacity at the North Reservoir and Water Treatment Plant, and a number of water main segments. Cost: $4.79 million * Long-term Improvements - Level Of Service III (FY 97-FY 2000) Improve the overall efficiency of the water distribution system. Projects include: a Southwest Storage Tank and Booster Station, Upgrade of the Pumps at Miller Field Storage Tank, and extension of mains to unserved areas. Cost: $5.1 million ANA'LYSIS: Completion of the Water Distribution System Master Plan allows the forecasting of major system improvement needs past the year· .. Page°'6 2000. These needs are being included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. Full implementation of the master plan will insure sufficient fire flow and water pressure throughout the system, even at periods of peak demand and under conditions of multiple fire flow demand. Another feature of the Master Plan is a computer model which allows regular updating to reflect system conditions and population data. The model will be updated in-house on at least an annual basis to assure that system improvements are programmed in a timely manner. The model also provides an important planning and design tool, allowing designers to test the effects of project schemes on the system. The system upgrades in the Master Plan, as well as the Renewal and Replacement Program, regular system component inspection, and preventative maintenance program established in the City, fully satisfy the direction given in the Comprehensive Plan.

DOC Page 9 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 95-1 SUPPORT DOCUMENT # 3 STORMWATER MASTER PLAN PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to review the status of programs and activities related to the collection, conveyance, and disposal of stormwater runoff and to address the development and implementation of the Stormwater Master Plan (Mock, Roos and Associates, 1994). INTRODUCTION: The City of Delray Beach, like many mature cities, developed over a long time. Existing storm water systems often reflect the historic time period of the neighborhood. Generally, the area west of 1-95 was built up fairly recently, with efficient storm water systems at or near current regulatory requirements. Older parts of the City, mostly east of 1-95 have undersized drainage systems or no system at all. History has left the City with a number of drainage deficiencies scattered throughout the area, mostly east of 1-95. This situation was recognized in the development of the Comprehensive Plan in 1989. The proposed solution was to perform a city-wide drainage assessment, updating criteria and establishing priorities for needed projects. In th~ period since 1989, 'significant Work has been accomplished t°~ address known'drainage problems. Through the Decade of Excellence Bond, major projects were completed in the Northwest Drainage Area, S.E. 1st Street, and Lowson Boulevard. In addition, whenever streets have been reconstructed, drainage needs have been addressed. The implementation of the stormwater utility fee has improved maintenance capabilities and allowed the construction of a number of solutions to localized drainage problems. With the recent completion of the stormwater master plan, this work can be continued and expanded in a more systematic manner. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DATA AND ANALYSIS: Public Facilities Element Inventor~ and Analysis -- Drainaqe: The~South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is' one of the entities havinq operational responsibility for management of drainage. Others incl-ude the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) and the City itself. The geographic service area for SFWMD extends far beyond the City's Planning Area. All of the Planning Area (except the coastal zone) is included within the District's C-15 basin which comprises 74.6 square miles. The LWDD also extends beyond the Planning Area but it does not include all of the City. LWDD has jurisdiction west of 1-95 with only a small portion of its service area east of 1-95. The City addresses local drainage needs within its municipal boundaries. The area for which the City is directly accountable is urban with uses ranging from rural estates to industrial. The area is 87% built-out (population basis). The desiqn capacity of all the SFWMD facilities (C-15 Canal & S-40 spillway) maintains a headwater stage of 8.2 feet NGVD. The water level is lowered to a minimum of 7.7 feet NGVD during heavy rain periods. The C-15 is designed to discharge a 30 year storm. The LWDD system ks designed to accommodate a 25 year storm. The peak demand discharge at S-40 was 4,050 cfs in April, 1979. The discharge design is 4,800 cfs. The level of service for drainage devices is established by the SFWMD. See the PBS&J report for a description of this design criteria and its application. Facility Capacity and Performance Analysis: The SFWMD and LWDD facilities are all designed to accommodate an area greater than the City's Planning Area. The Planning Area is 87% built-out and remaining development will not have a significant impact upon those agency's existing facilities. Furthermore, all new development must be permitted through SFWMD and LWDD, as applicable. With respect.to local .drainage .facilities for which the City of Delray' Beach is 'responsible, there are many capacity 'deficiencies. These deficiencies arise from the simple fact that storm water management was not a part of development infrastructure when most of the land east of 1-95 was developed. The correction of poor drainage conditions is a remedial activity which should be undertaken by the City, The City's Engineering Department has undertaken or contracted for drainage projects in several areas of the City. These include: · N. Swinton/Seacrest Area (Wantman) $ 100,000 · Northwest Area (BOA) (With Outfall) $ 1,987,000 · Southwest Area I (R&A) $ undetermined · Southwest Area II (Paramount) $ undetermined · East Central Area, includes CBD (BOA) $ 1,960,000 · Tropic Palms (City) $ 250,000 · Bass Creek (City) $ 150,000 · N~E. 8th Street (City) '- $ 25,000 ' : · S.W. 1st Avenue & 2nd Street (City) $ 40,000' · N.W. 7th Court (City) $ 25,000 · Homewood (City) ~... 30,000 $ 4,967,0'00 Page 2 The following drainage projects have been completed as of January 1, 1992: · Lowson, Homewood to E-4 Canal ($ 200,000) · S.E. 1st Street from U.S. 1 to ICWW ($ 200,000) The City's Engineering Department has also prepared preliminary estimates for improving street and drainage in those former County enclaves which were annexed to the City in 1988. These include: · Lake Heights $ 150,000 · Gulfstream Estates $ 300,000 · Lake Ida Area $ 1,350,000 · N.E.

Establish priorities based upon adopted 'criteria. Provide funding through a revenue bond backed by a new funding source i.e...a drainage facilities fee. · EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: Public Facilities Element Objective A-2 Specific programs to mitigate the adverse impacts of non-point sources of pollution, as identified in the following policy, shall be prepared and placed in written form prior to the end of FY 92/93. Policy A-2.1 After adoption of the Land Use Map, a study shall be commissioned for the identification of areas which are likely to be subject to significant amounts of surface contamination based upon land-use (e.g. industrial, auto repair areas, etc.), and a program for collecting drainage from these areas for treatment purposes shall be developed. Installation of resulting drainage improvement needs shall be an.obligation of. new development or -redevelopment. Installat'ion of such ..... Page 3 drainage improvements (by the City) however shall be secondary to the installation of drainage systems to mitigate property damage. (See related Policy E-1.3) (B1)(B5)(C1)(C4)(2b). Objective E-1 By the beginning of FY 91/92 a capital improvement program directed specifically to storm drainage and runoff management shall have been adopted by the City Commission, and capital projects, as identified in that program, shall commence upon completion of drainage projects funded by the 1989/90 General Obligation Bond program. (bl, b2) (BI) Policy E-i.1 This program shall assess needs City wide; shall establish a list of criteria by which needs will be evaluated; and shall establish a priority for all projects. This program shall be completed during FY 92/93. (B1)(C1) Policy E-1.2 Criteria for determining project priorities shall place more importance upon property protection than upon pollution control up to the point where such pollution may significantly degrade the environment or constitute a hazard. (see related Policy A-2.1). (C1) Policy E-1.3 Criteria for determining project priorities shall place more importance upon correcting current, localized problems as opposed to areawide systems (unless an areawide system corrects the local problem). (Cl) Policy E-1.4 Design standards for determining the scope of drainage projects shall be such as to establish a level of service at least equal to the ~tandard of retaining.the first one inch'of runoff or runoff from a one hour, three year storm event, whichever is greater, to protect water quality. Policy E-1.5 Storm water drainage regulations which provide for the protection of natural drainage features and ensure that development utilizes storm water management systems which are compatible with this objective shall be retained. (c4) [LDR Section 4.1.9] Policy E-1.6 High priority should be given to the drainage needs of the areas listed in the Coastal Management Element Policy D-4.1. Policy E-1.7 The major trunk line/outfall, for the basin 28 drainage project shall be constructed in conjunction with Ob~ective E-2 Two mechanisms for 'funding drainage improvements and flood control measures shall be pursued. These are as follows: (2b) · . Page 4 Policy E-2.1 Improvements financed through the Stormwater Utility Fee shall be primarily determined by the criteria of property protection in localized situations. Funded projects shall be located throughout the City as opposed to being concentrated in a single quadrant. The fee shall be modified, upon completion of the program (Objective E-l). Policy E-2.2 Another financing mechanism for these improvements shall be through the "Decade of Excellence, Capital Improvement Bond". This financing shall be used for major projects which have heretofore been identified and drainage improvements which are tied to street reconstruction projects which are contained in that Bond program. Coastal Management Element Policy A-2.2 That the quality of the estuarine environment be improved by the control of storm runoff. (b2) This policy shall be achieved as a component of Objective A-2 of the Public Facilities Element. It shall also be considered in determining the priority of specific projects which are devised in order to implement Objective B-2, via Policy B-2.2 of the Public Facilities Element. Objective D-4: Programs shall be undertaken to protect property from water related damages and to provide for the safety of individuals who engage in unsupervised water activities. · ~Policy D-'4.1 Th~t'~c.onsisten~ With Go'al Area "E" o'f the Public ..... 'Facilities' Element, and' m~re specifically with'Objective E-l, " the following drainage improvements shall have high priority: · the one block.area south of Atlantic Avenue adjacent to the Atlantic Avenue Bridge. · Atlantic Avenue at Gleason, Venetian, and Seabreeze Avenues. CURRENT CITY PROGRAMS: The Public Works Department has established a program for maintenance and television inspection of existing stormwater systems. The program will be conducted quarterly starting at the north east quadrant proceeding south, then west. Work will generally consist of cleaning and television inspection of storm drainage lines and inlets. Minor repairs will be made as required. FUNDING PHILOSOPHY: The 'City'S approach to funding of required, upgrades to ~he stormwater system' is to operate,' as much .as.-possible,.~.on a". Page'5 pay-as-you-go basis. Funding allocations are made yearly to the general construction fund and stormwater utility fund. These accounts are used for expansion of the stormwater system to unserved areas, repair and upgrade of existing systems, and operations and maintenance. The sources of funds for these accounts are the stormwater utility fee and general funds. STORMWATER MASTER PLAN: The 1994 Stormwater Master Plan, for the first time, analyzed drainage needs on a city-wide basis. The scope of the study included: _ * Review of existing stormwater permits and previous studies; * Mapping of existing stormwater systems; * Identification of known problem areas; * Review of topography, land use and soils data; * Development of criteria for pipe sizing; * Development of design criteria for new and existing -- developments; * Establishment of drainage level of service standards; * Identification of drainage areas; * Review of stormwater quality criteria; and, * Recommendations for system improvements. Forty-five drainage areas were identified in the City. Stormwater -- projects were proposed as needed in each drainage area. Localized problem areas exhibiting ponding or flooding were mapped. -- Level of ser¥ice standards, were' established..relat~ng both to technical storm protection standards'far roadways ~e.g. 10 ~r, 24 hr _ storm event); and to qualitative standards of ponding and accessibility (e.g. ponding > 12 hrs and sections of roadway not accessible). Existing areas of the City were then assigned a level of service (A-F), based upon reported conditions and upon the -- quality and existence of a storm sewer system. Selected Drainaqe Concepts: _ The construction of a storm drainage system with sufficient capacity to accommodate the most severe rainfall expected cannot generally be economically justified, since the cost of such a system would be prohibitive. Therefore, as a more practical design, occasional short-term minor flooding of streets and low-lying lands can be tolerated, specifically when the duration of this flooding does not -- involve .extensive property damage, cause hazards to health and safety, or cause public'inconvenience. 'As discussed above, the City has developed in two general phases. East of 1-95, the older sections of the City were developed with positive drainage in. storm sewers, or lacked any drainage system. West'of 1-95, the newer sections have 'been deyeloped under South -- . . Florida 'Water Management..Dis~rict criteria .... : . " Page 6 '. The proposed design criteria for new development west of 1-95 sets the minimum roadway elevation at the 10 year, 1 day flood elevation; and finished floors at the 100 year, 3 day flood elevation. East of 1-95, the minimum roadway elevation is the 3 year, 1 day flood elevation; and the finished floor elevation is the 100 year, 3 day flood elevation. Within built up areas, the criteria to improve stormwater management places the minimum roadway elevation at the 3 year, 1 day flood elevation. Water quality for new development projects will be provided as set forth by the South Florida Water Management District. Water quality for existing developments will be provided as stormwater improvements are implemented by means of roadside swales, exfiltration trenches and street cleaning programs. These methods are typical water quality treatments and satisfy National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. A general determination was made that drainage areas with level of service 'C' or better needed no immediate improvements. After assessing the drainage needs in the various drainage areas based on need, seventeen drainage areas were found to require significant improvements. All drainage areas in the City were then prioritiZed based on known problem areas and level of service. The master plan identified projects, with cost opinions, to elevate the level of service to 'C' throughout the City. Implementation of the Master Plan: F%nal engineering pians will be prepared for..those areas outlined in.' the stor~water master plan.-as .having ~ess .than' a "C" level 'of service. The fina~ plans will be site specific as they relate to each area and related sub-basins. Priorities and method of payment are indicated in the attached Capital Improvement Plan.

Page 9 T: \advanced\STORM1 Page 10 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT #95-1 SUPPORT DOCUMENT # 4 STAFF ACCOMMODATION STUDY PURPOSE: This report summarizes activities relative to the optimum accommodation of space needs for City staff. In addition, the report satisfies the requirements of Public Facilities Element Objective D-3 and Policy D-3. BACKGROUND: In 1989, when the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, City staff was scattered in multiple sites throughout the City. For example, the City Attorney's office occupied rented office space; functions of the Water Department were in various locations. In response to this situation, the need was identified to assess space needs for staff, and an objective and policy were adopted, as follows: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTION: Public Facilities Element, Inventory and Analysis: City.Hall expansion, was 3completed in 1990, which has placed all development oriented services within a single wing and thus facilitating the proyision of governmental services. Although no future expansions are proposed, it will be necessary to provide additional office space for normal growth in the administration and to accommodate programs proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. Public Facilities Element, Inventory and Analysis: The following needs exist: · additional office space for City Hall employees who are necessary to accommodate normal growth and the demands for new programs as reflected throughout this Plan. Public Facilities Element, Needs and Recommendations: · Undertake a space needs study in order to estimate office requirements for the staff of the. City Administration and' determine the best methods for housing such staff-. Public Facilities Element, Objective D-3 Objective D-3 Provisions are to be made to accommodate space needs for normal growth of administrative staff and the specific needs created in accomplishing the policies of this Plan. Public Facilities Element, Policy D-3-1 policy D-3.1 After adoption of the Plan, a study shall be undertaken of the ways in which the accommodation of staff can be made. This study shall be completed in FY 92/93 if not sooner. Options which are to be reviewed shall include: a) lease of office space along Atlantic Avenue. b) expansion of existing City Hall. c) consolidation of office facilities to City Hall and the Public Works complex. d) remote locations for new administrative units tied together through the computer system. ANALYSIS: In the period since adoption of the Plan, City staff has been reorganized and consolidated, and building facilities improved to accommodate staff needs. All City staff are now located in City owned facilities, eliminating the need for rented quarters. This is essentially option c) in Policy D-3.1. Staff functions are generally allocated as described below. The Environmental Services Complex, located on the site of the former Public Works facility, houses the following functions: Engineering Public Utilities Public Works Facility Maintenance Fleet Maintenance (garage and fueling facilities) Purchasing warehouse Animal Control Parks Department Operations City Hall, expanded in 1990, is the location for the City Manager, City Clerk, Building and Inspections, Code Enforcement, Community Development, Human Resources, Management Information Services, Planning and Zoning, Finance, Utility Billing, Purchasing, and Risk Management. Page 2 .... The former Public Utilities building at 200 N.W. 1st Ave. has been renovated to house the City Attorney's office and records retention storage facility. All office facilities for City staff are now located in close proximity, owned by the City, and renovated to optimize space needs. As noted in the Parks and Recreation Element, needs still exist for expansion of the Community Center to accommodate expanded programs. The City's needs for staff space through the year 2000, with the exception of recreation programs, have been satisfied through building renovations and reorganization. RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Building improvements and staffing optimization have eliminated the need to program additional space needs in the foreseeable future. Therefor, the needs identified in the Plan have been met and the following statements and policies may be deleted from the Plan. Public Facilities Element, Inventory and Analysis: City Hall expansion was completed in 1990, which has placed all development oriented services within a single wing and thUs facilitating the provision of governmental services. Although no future expansions are proposed, it will be necessary to provide additional office space for normal growth in the administration and to accommodate programs proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. Public Facilities Element, Inventory and Analysis: The'following needs exist: · additional office space for C£ty Hall employees who are necessary to accommodate normal growth and the demands for new programs as reflected throughout this Plan. Public Facilities Element, Needs and Recommendations: · Undertake a space needs study in order to estimate office requirements for the staff of the City Administration and determine the best methods for housing such staff. Public Facilities Element, Objective D-3 Objective D-3 Provisions are to be made to accommodate space needs for normal growth of administrative staff and the specific needs created in accomplishing'the policies of this Plan. page 3 "- Public Facilities Element, Policy D-3-1 Policy D-3.1 After adoption of the Plan, a study shall be _ undertaken of the ways in which the accommodation of staff can be made. This study shall be completed in FY 92/93 if not sooner. Options which are to be reviewed shall include: a) lease of office space along Atlantic Avenue. b) expansion of existing City Hall. c) consolidation of office facilities to City Hall and _ the Public Works complex. d) remote locations for new administrative units tied together through the computer system. T: \advanced\STAFF1 Page 4 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 95-1 SUPPORT DOCUMENT # 5 RAW WATER SUPPLY PURPOSE: This report provides an update on the City's activities and direction relative to the area of raw water supply. BACKGROUND: As a part of Plan Amendment 93-1, the issues of water supply and wellfield protection were addressed. A support document (attached) was produced which included an overview of the Water Supply Master Plan. This effort resulted in changes to a number of areas of the Plan. However, since work has continued in the area of water supply, an update is appropriate. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DATA AND ANALYSIS: Public Facilities: Facility Capacity Analysis - Raw Water Supply: The City's water supply is provided from 24 wells in three wellfields. Th.e eastern wellfield (11) along Dixie. Highway, 'the Series' 20 wel!field (6) just east"of 1-95, and the.'golf Course- Wellfield (7). The wells draw water from the Surficial Aquifer. There are an additional 5 w.ells in the eastern wellfield which are not in production due to salt water intrusion (2) and slight increases in chlorides (3), which can be utilized for emergency standby. The design capacity of the wellfields is 30 MGD. The amount of withdrawal is established by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The District has limited production from ten of the eastern wells because of their impact upon salt water intrusion. In December, 1987, the SFWMD issued a permit for the withdrawal of 15.7 MGD (23.06 MGD peak). Upon completion of the golf course wellfields in 1989, restrictions were lifted. The current demand is 10.94 MGD, with peak demand at 13.33 MGD. The level of service is established at 195 gpdc (gallons per day per capita) daily average demand and at 200 gpdc peak demand. · Under existinq conditions the well fields are operating under capacity (10.94 MGD demand, 13.33 MGD @ peak demand; 26.2 MGD capacity) · At the end of the first planninq period (FY 94/95) the well fields will still be operating under capacity (14.0 MGD demand, 20.1 peak demand; 26.2 MGD capacity). · At build-out (year 2000), the capacity of the existing well fields will accommodate demand (14.5 MGD demand, 21.9 peak demand; 26.2 MGD capacity), with sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate pump failures or repair of wells. Performance Analysis - Raw Water Supply: · The projected life of existing wells extends significantly beyond the planning period. However maintenance is costly and recurring. The Surficial Aquifer is the water source for all communities in Palm Beach County. · A future wellfield expansion may be necessary. Such a necessity will occur only if it becomes necessary to abandon eastern wellfields because of salt water intrusion. Such an event is unlikely in the foreseeable future, thus there are no problems or opportunities to be addressed with respect to expansion or relocation. · The eastern wellfield and the series 20 wellfield are located in areas where industrial activities occur. Wellfield protection zones one, two~ and three impact businesses with requlated substances. Undeveloped land which is zoned industrial is located within the wellfield pro~ection zones of. the.series 20 wells. .. · There are more than 1,000 domestic wells within the planning area. Many are found in former County enclaves which were annexed in 1988. An equal amount are located in County areas which are not yet annexed. Although many wells have high concentrations of iron and leave unappealing residues, there are no instances of unacceptable water quality, from a health regulations perspective, in the planning area. The City is programming funds to provide water service to former enclave areas which are inhabited so that service will be available to all by the end of the second planning period (Year 2000). Water service will be provided to existing County areas upon formation of assessment districts or upon annexation at which time water main extensions and connections will be required of the property owner. · There are no major recharqe areas within the Planning Area. Page · The City's raw water pumps can increase capacity through rehabilitation of existing facilities. Such a program is estimated to cost $350,000 (PBS&J, WTP Master Plan Update, 1989). · Water mains in the Gulfstream Estates area require looping to provide a connection between U.S. 1 and Atlantic High School for adequate service and fire flows. The City Engineering department has prepared preliminary estimates of costs for the provision of water and sewer service to the former enclave areas. These estimates are as follows: Germantown West W/S $ 170,000 Germantown East W/S $ 332,000 Frederick/Lamat W/S $ 456,000 North Federal Highway W/S $ 480,000 Lake Heights W/S $ 150,000 Gulfstream Estates W/S $ 225,000 Lake Ida Area W/S $ 330,000 S.W. 42nd. Avenue @ Linton W/S $ 197,000 Silver Terrace W/S $ 230,000 South of Delray Shores W/S $ 120,000 Brandon Drive W/S $ 50,000 Lone Pine W/S $ 150,000 Woodvue Sub. W/S $ 50~000 TOTAL $2,940,000 EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND.POLICIES: Conservation: Policy A-i.1 The practice of monitoring groundwater conditions through installation of monitoring wells shall be continued. In addition, monitoring wells are to be installed for non-residential uses which locate within Zone 3 around the Series 20 and Eastern Wellfields. Provisions shall be made for data from these private monitoring wells to be used in the City's on-going monitoring efforts. Public Facilities: Objective B-2 Even though the City has projected an adequate water supply, it shall provide for increasing draw and the potential of reduced capacity through salt water intrusion and/or extended drought conditions through increased use of existing wells, development of new wells and development of alternative technologies and methods of providing water. This ob3ective shall be met in .the performance of the .following: (2b.) .. · ' Page 3 Policy B-4.1 Protection of existing wellfields shall be accommodated through the continued implementation of monitoring for salt water intrusion, wastewater pretreatment programs and monitoring wells and through enhanced quality control programs (see related Objective B-5) which will provide early detection of possible contamination. Policy B-4.4 Provisions shall be made in the program for raw water capacity to require only minimal reliance upon wells which are subject to salt water intrusion. Policy B-5.2 Continuing allocations for equipment and staff devoted to enhanced water testing and analysis shall be given high priority during the annual budget process. Policy B-5.3 In addition to technical data and reports which are provided through current testing and analysis programs, quarterly reports which contain a critical analysis and trend analysis of test results shall be provided in written form to and reviewed publicly by the City Commission. NEW DIRECTIONS/ACCOMPLISHMENTS: An important concept documented in the Water Supply Master Plan is the effect of salt water intrusion on the City's wellfields. The westernmost extent of salt water intrusion (1991) is Swinton Ave. More critically, the western extent of salt water in a severe drought is modelled to reach nearly to 1-95. Such a condition will eliminate the eastern wellfield and threaten the Se~ieS 20 wellfield. · ' The City's wellfield permit from Sodth Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) cont.ains conditions that curtails withdrawals from the Eastern Wellfield, effectively forcing the development of the western, Morikami Wellfield, with a total of 12 wells, to reduce dependency on the eastern fields. The development of this wellfield is programmed in the Capital Improvement Plan, with completion of 3 production wells and associated transmission lines scheduled in FY 94/95. The remaining 9 wells will be developed in future years based upon need. Other projects related to water supply that have been completed include: · Rehabilitation/redevelopment of 17 production wells. · Installation of flowmeters and increased monitoring of existing wells. * Implementation of modified operation schedule to reduce the potential for salt water intrusion by distributing groundwater withdrawals throughout the wellfield. * Installation of additional monitoring wells. * Expansion of the Golf Course Wellfield by adding two wells. * Development of a program to reuse wastewater effluent for irrigation. (See Plan Amendment 94-1). * Establishment of an inverted block rate structure for water use fees and a conservation surcharge to be applied during periods of mandatory water restrictions. (See Plan Amendment 94-1). * Distribution to the public at no charge of "conservation kits" including leak detecting dye tablets, tank water displacement bag, and faucet flow restrictors. * Establishment of a program for detail study and design of at least one facility for Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). (See Plan Amendment 94-1). ANALYSIS: Through the implementation of the recommendations of the Water Supply Master plan, both completed and programmed, the City has established a clear direction relative to the provision.of raw wate~ supply into the future. The broad program is to: * Maximize the efficiency of existing wellfields. * Carefully monitor the groundwater supply. * Provide for future demand and the eventuality of salt water intrusion by an orderly shift to the Morikami Wellfield * Conserve groundwater and potable water. * Develop new technologies, such as ASR. Through this program, the City is preparing now for the future. This philosophy avoids crises and allows the orderly, cost-effective provision of potable water for both current and future population. RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: DATA AND ANALYSIS: Public Facilities: Page 5 Facility Capacity Analysis - Raw Water Supply= The City's water supply is provided from 27 26 wells in four Z½~ wellfields.

Page 7 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 95-1 SUPPORT DOCUMENT ~ 6 SHARING FOR EXCELLENCE IN SCHOOLS 1994 SHARING FOR EXCELLENCE IN SCHOOLS 199q AN UPDATE OF THE OELRAY BEACH PLAN A proposal in furtherance of effor'ts to revitalize area schools, reduce overcrowding, enhance facilities, achieve racial balance and address unique considerations with educational excellence in the public schools of Delray Beach, Florida. Adopted by unaniaous vote of the City Coamission of Oelray Beach, Florida, February i5, 199q. ,-' Preamble The City of Delray Beach, an All-America City, prescribes to the precept that the quality of public schools plays a vital role in the economic and social well-being of our community; that in order to achieve this economic and social well-being and to attract families with children, our public schools must be racially balanced, overcrowding must be reduced, and we must offer facilities and programs at least equal to those offered in developing areas of Palm Beach County; and that the School Board, City and County working together can achieve e×cellence in our schools for all of our students. Background In April, 1989, the City of Delray Beach, by unanimous vote of its City Commission, adopted a plan, entitled Sharing for Excellence in Schools 1990 - The Delray Beach Plan, that set forth the City's findings and conclusions regarding the state of public schools serving the student population of the City, together with detailed proposals designed to address such matters. The City's findings in 1989 included the following~ · School Board programs and policies had not succeeded in achieving racial balance in Oelray Beach public schools; · neighborhoods located in the area bounded by 1-95, Swinton Avenue, Lake Ida Road and Linton Boulevard were divided into thirteen idifferent elementary school districts w~th sEudents r~siding, in these neighborhoods* attending nine different elementary .sc*hool~; .. · strong and pervasive negative perceptions existed concerning public schools in Del,ray Beach, inhibiting the achievement of proper racial balance; · Delray Beach was slated to receive disproportionately inadequate levels of funding with respect ~o construction of new schools and renovation/expansion of .existing schools. Following its adoption, the City submitted the Plan to the School Board of Palm Beach County for its consideration and later received from School Board staff their response. At a July, 1989, joint meeting of the City Commission and the School Board, the Plan and staff response were addressed, resulting in the creation of a Joint Task Force consisting of four members appointed by the City, four members appointed by the School Board, and a ninth member, to serve as chairman, jointly selected by the City and School Board. The Joint Task Force deliberated the merits of the Plan and staff's response, and produced a-Consensus Statement encompassing elements of the Plan and other factors. The Consensus Statement was adopted by the City and the School Board in November, 1989.. Implementation of the Consensus Statement's provisions is ongoing. Status of Implementat/on Since the adoptlon of the Consensus Statement, many of the recommendations contained herein have been accomplished and/or set in motion. These accomplishments have had a positive impact on our community and are a result of the cooperative sp/rit that has ex/sted between the School Board, the City of Delray Beach, and the/r ~espect/ve staffs. As a consequence of cooperative measures undertaken by the School Board and the City, · (1) the physical plant, educational programs (in particular, the Montessori instructional program), vehicular access and neighborhood conditions associated with S.D. Spady Elementary have significantly improved, resulting in the achievement of racial balance in keeping with School Board goals together with the virtual eradication of negative perceptions previously associated ~ith Spady; · (2) the City has undertaken substantiaI measures to improve roadways, intersections, access and neighborhood conditions at the Pine Grove Elementary school. ". (3) a'ne~ mlddle sch. ool is u.nder constructibn in.'a .. central Delr.~y Beach*· location, equ.ally acces.sibl, e 'to the ~'iverse student populations of the City; · (4) the School Board and City have selected a site for construction of a ne~ elementary school and associated park in the City; · (5) improvements have been made to the P/ne Grove Elementary and A~lantic High School facilities; · (G) improvements to recreational fields at Atlantic High School and Carver Niddle School have been jointly implemented by the School Board and the City; · (7) plans for further upgrade and expansion of the Pine Grove Elementary and Plumosa Elementary campus/facilities are nearing implementation with funding allocated; and Also noteworthy are several in-itiatives originally proposed in Sharing for Excellence, ancillary to improvements *of school fac.ill*ties, whlch have since be~n i~sti, tutlonalized. These · 3 · creation of an advisory board to the City Commission, the City's Education Board; · creation of the S.D. Spady School Advisory Council; and · enhanced City code enforcement activities surrounding all schools in Delray Beach. Current Si[uation ._ Notwithstanding the joint accomplishments to date the following conditions exist: · almost all schools in Delray Beach are overcrowded · racial balance at Pine Grove Elementary school is -- unacceptable to the City and School Board: 72% Black 27% Other · still have too many school attendance zones especially at the elementary school level and our neighborhoods remain intolerably divided: 11 different elementary school attendance zones (with four elementary schools in Oelray Beach) q different middle school attendance zones (with one -- middle school in 0elray Beach) ~ different high school attendance zones (with high school in Delray Beach) · non-contiguous school boundary enclaves continue to exist · construction of new middle school two years behind ... 0r.iginal target date~ .. · - : . With the delay in implementation of the middle school and elementary school construction programs, overcrowdin~ and racial imbalance have been exacerbated. Even with the opening of School "S-2" (Military Trail @ Linton Boulevard), neither the overcrowding, nor racial imbalance, at Pine Grove Elementary will be significantly relieved. Meanwhile, the physical conditions at Atlantic High School have substantially deteriorated as that school also is experiencing an unacc~.ptable level of overcrowding. Even though completion of the new Carver Middle School will undoubtedly yield an improvement in racial balance; overcrowding at the middle school level is still an area of concern. The current status of Oelray Beach public schools with respect to overcrowding and racial balance is as follows (Source: Palm Beach County School Board): ~HOOL ~ H[SP~IC HZ~ZC HISP~[C -~ I~LJU~OER AL&~ 9S/~ ~L YEAR_ TOT. CAP P~.~ ELE~A~ IZ~ . 1~% 6S~ '?ZZ 106 [ZZ . ~ ~Z 0 O/ ' e6~ * ~00 Conclusions - Although, together, we ha~e been successful in making physical plant improvements and program changes in some of our schools which have led to natural integration and excellence (i.e., S.D. Spady, Banyan Creek, Atlantic) perceptions associated with public schools located in Delray Beach~ in many respects outside our community, remain unsatisfactorily negative. A recent example of this negativism was demonstrated with the proposal to establish a 6th grade center at Carver Middle School. The current challenges associated with Delray Beach public schools are not new to the School Board. These matters~ and the situations that have led to them, have been chronicled in Project MOSA[C and its successor activities. Indeed, on February 3, 1994, the School Board and the Palm Beach County Commission met in joint session to discuss, among other items, "Revitalization of Coastal Schools/Communitiesw, and an Education Element for the County's Comprehensive Plan. The City Commission continues to rate as a top priority the overall conditions, both real and perceived, of public schools serving the City's student population. Accordingly, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach unanimously reaffirms its conclusion set forth in the Plan dated April 25, 1989, ..updated as follows~ "The circumstances above recited, particularly those concerning persistent and often false negative public perceptions, cannot be overcome by promotional campaigns or by isolated or oocasioqal meas~.res ~mpleme~te~.pi~cemeal. A · : ~omprehensive ~lan affecting public elementary, middle and high schools remains urgently, necessary. This plan must account for social real/ties. It must employ a cooperative effort jointly undertaken by the citizens of Delray Beach, their City Government, .the School Board of Palm Beach County, and Palm Beach County Government. It must also address long term, as well as near term, objectives. The commitment to this plan must be more than merely symbolic, and mus~ be con~inuin9, since the quality of life and the social and business vltali~y of the City of Delray Beach in the long terms is literally at stake." The City Commission of the City of Delray Beach has unanimously adopted, and requests the School Board of Palm Beach County adopt, in its entirety, the program herein set forth known as Sharing for Excellence in Schools 1994 - A~n Update o_~f The Delray Beach Plan. ~ithout the School Board's help ~e cannot reach our goals or provide the excellence in education that each and everyone of our students deserve. GOALS 1. Achieving and maintaining a satisfactory and stable racial balance in each and every elementary, middle and high school attended by student residents of Delray Beach, 2. Hinimizing the bussing of Delray Beach students to schools outside of Delray Beach. Hinimizing overcrowding. Enhancing existing public school campuses and facilities, meet Southern Association standards, including special facilities/programs to the benefit of the school and the surrounding community. 5. Encouraging the cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods by lessening the number of school districts to which the students residing in such neighborhoods are assigned. G. Drawing school district boundaries so that each district comprises a contiguous area around a school, minimizing to the extent possible the creation of non-contiguous enclaves. 7. Flexibility to protect individual s~hools by adding or subtracting areas adjacent to their existing school districts rather than by employing enclaves located elsewhere, 8. Overcoming the often false and lingering negative public perceptions which .inhibit. achieving and maintaining a proper '* and stable racial' ~alan'ce in t.he p. ubl*ic schools *o'f *Delra¥ -. Beach. ACTION PLAN The proposals herein set forth, coupled with those heretofore accomplished, those currently under implementation, and those being prepared for implementation, are interrelated and form an integral plan. The City urges that each and all of these proposals be adopted and implemented concurrently. (The party responsible for implementation of each element of the plan is identified in parenthesis). Proposal ! - Elementary School S-2 (Blood's Hammock Groves site) Delays associated with the opening of School S-2 create a "domino effect" with respect to relieving overcrowding and achieving improvements in racial balance at other elementary schools in the area. The School Board is urged to proceed with utmost haste to open School S-2 by September, 1995. The City pledges its cooperation in support of this objective. - Immediately consummate the purchase of the site identified and approved in 1993 by the School Board, located on property presently known as Blood's Hammock Groves west of and contiguous , to the Foxe Chase subdivision, and commence construction of the el'~mentary school presently designated "School S-2" by the School Board for completion by commencement of the 1995/9G school year.(School Board) - Immediately consummate the purchase of the site identified and approved in. 1995 by the City,- 1.qcated . . .. north of. and configgous t'O th.e.'site fo.r ~chool S-2'.{~ify~ '' '" - As and when appropriate, process necessary applica-tions, pertinent to the sites set forth above, for annexation, site plan approval, conditional use approval and rezoning.(City) Proposal II - New Elementary School Reviewing existing school population data and considering the impact of schools S-2 and S-1, it is evident that additional facilities are needed to alleviate overcrowding. - Promptly identify and purchase a suitable site for, and as soon as practicable commence the construction of, an elementary school within the corporate limits of Delray Beach, targeting the Southeast area. Emphasis should be placed on selection of a site which is inviting fo all student populations designated to attend the school.(School Board) Proposal [I! -~lumosa Elementary School In order to bring the facility up to standards of other elementary schools, the following is recommended~ - Complete the construction of improvements currently planned and approved in time for the commencement of the 199q/95 school year, including reconfiguration of entry way and bus drop-off/parking, and construction of media center and administrative space.(School Board) Proposal IV - Pine ~rove Elementary. School The following elements of this Proposal IV are intended to facilitate the utilization of Pine Grove for several specific educational needs, one or more of which might be considered "magnets," to stimulate voluntary attendance by white student populations. This school should no longer be assigned specific attendance districts and, therefore, would be removed from concerns surrounding it with respect to districting and its racial balance. Proposals I and II above are integral to, and should be undertaken in concert with, the implementation of this Proposal IV. - Purchase the undeveloped acreage we,st of and contiguous to the Pine Grove Elementary campus (School Board) and proceed with steps necessary to rezone the property as "Community Facilities" (City). - (School Board) Commence the construction of improvements currently planned and approved by the School Board, including,*without limitation, t-he .following~ .. ·me~ia 'center ' · additional classrooms · music lab · art lab · administrative offices · other specialty rooms (School Board) utilize Pine Grove as a Special Resources Educational Center which might include any, or a'*ll, of the following programs (the City acknowledges that certain of the following programs are presently in place; the City supports the continuation thereof)~ ·preschool intervention/Head Start · ESOL · 'performing arts "magnet" program · foreign language immersion of FLEX "magnet" program · other such "magnet" program(s) that will both encourage an increase in white student attendance and serve to the benefit of the student population residing in areas immediately surrounding the Pine Grove campus Proposal V - S;D. Spady Elementary Schoo! The conversion of S.D. Spady to a Montessori School, physical plant improvements, and neighborhood improvements have all contributed to increasing the school population at S.D. Spady and racially balancing the school. In fact, ~here is now a waiting list for the school with applicants from all over south county. Due to these factors, it is recommended - the only SACs assigned serve the immediate neighborhood as described by the following geographical boundary~ A~lantic Avenue to the south, 1-95 to ~he west, Lake [da Road to the north and Swinton Avenue to the east. - in addition, delayed renovation to Buildings D and E must be accelerated along with renovations to rest room facilities. - finally, coordination must occur ~o insure construction of the special bus access with attendent facilities commensurate with the widening of Lake Ida Road. Proposal VI - (Old) Carver Middle School Campus/Facilities Taking into consideration the proposals generated by the School Board/City of Oelray Beach joint task force and committees established to study the mat~er, a plan for the continued use of the existing Carver facilities should be adopted forthwith such ~hat implementation thereof may commence coincident with the opening of the new Carver Community Middle School. Insofar as practicable, the Carver facilities should be utilized, along the lines of a Full Service School, in a manner *that enhances-the economic ahd. social.well-bei~g..of res'idents in .. s~rrounding neighborhoods*, and should not lie -idle for any significant period of time subsequent to the opening of ~he replacem.ent Carver Community Middle School.(City and School Board) Proposal VII - New Middle School School Board statistics and studies show the need for additional middle schools in south county. Due to this n~ed the School Board is requested tot - Consider the construction of a second new middle school within or proximate to the corporate limits of Oelray Beach in furtherance of efforts to alleviate overcrowding in existing middle schools. A targe~ date for the opening of such new middle school within five years of the date of this Plan is realistic.(School Board) Proposal VIII - Atlantic High School Significant improvements, 'bo~h in physical plan~ and educat*ional programs, harp been..a~c.omplished at Atlantic High School du.~ing the past five. year*s. No'netheless, Atlaq~.hous'es a.sizable s[udent'population, maoy*of whom at~end the schOol'for.. 9 special purposes, and remains in need of further attention. Even when the new high schools in Boynton Beach are completed and the student population decreased, facility improvements are urgently needed to adequately meet student needs, to meet Department of Education standards, and bring facilities up to a level equal to other area high schools. - Review the 1992 D.O.E. survey and begin planning and development of funding sources to add and renovate facilities to meet minimum D.O.E. standards. Facilities to include: - expand cafeteria space (fo'od service) - expand gymnasium - add wrestling and weight rooms - add rest rooms to meet minimum State code requirements - provide handicapped accessibility to all facilities Proposal IX - New High School Residential growth continues to expand in the areas west from Lantana to Boca Raton. Two new high schools are ..planned for construction in and west of Boynton Beach. These high _ schools, however, are not planned for completion until the '97-'98 school year and are based on existing, outdated growth projections. It is felt that even with these additional schools - A~lantic High School will continue to be overcrowded. In view -- of these considerations we propose: "' - .a revise~ study, of growth proje~t'io~s for' the.h'i'gh school population and- if projections ~arrant it, consideration of the construction of a ne~ high school within or proximate to the corporate limit's of Oelray Beach.(School Board) - accelerate the construction of the proposed high schools in and west of Boynton Beach. -- These recommendations will assist in relieving projected overcrowding a~ Atlantic High School. Proposal X - Neighbophood Considerations · ' The City pledges to continue and expand its focus with respect to the quality of life in neighborhoods surrounding each . of the public schools located ~i~hin the corporate limits and jurisdiction of Delray Beach.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a privately initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment which includes the following: * Changing the land use designation from County MR-5 (Medium Density Residential- 5 units per acre) to a combination of City LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 units per acre), MD (Medium Density Residential 5-12 units per acre), T (Transitional) and OS (Open Space). The subject property is approximately 94 acres and represents the balance of the Bloods Grove property after the recent annexation of 17 acres for the municipal fire station, park and School Site S. -- BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in November, 1989, "advisory" land use designations were applied to all areas which were outside the City limits but within the City's Planni'ng Area. The 111 acre Bloods Grove site was given advisory designations as follows: 40 acres Medium Density Residential, 40 acres Low Density Residential, 17 acres Community Facilities, 10 acres Commercial Core, and 4 acres Open Space. The 17 acres of Community Facilities was intended to accommodate a future elementary school site, neighborhood park, and fire station in the southwest portion of the City. On November 26, 1991 the .Ci.ty annexed 1.808 of the. Ill acres, at the northeast corher of - ~he property via .Ordinance 76-91. The 1:8~8 acres. Consisted of- an access easement as well as a temporary and permanent 'fire station site. The temporary fire station was placed on the site while the permanent fire station was constructed. Fire station # 5 has since been completed and the temporary station removed. In April, 1993, an annexation petition, land use plan amendment and initial zoning request to accommodate a 10 acre elementary school site on the Taheri property adjacent to Bloods Grove was submitted. Before those actions were formally processed, the School Board reconsidered that location and instead chose a 10 acre site in the northeast portion of Bloods Grove. As a part of the School District's purchase contract the City was to locate a municipal park contiguous to the school site. In April, 1993 the owners of Bloods Grove granted agency to the City for the processing of an annexation petition and all land development applications necessary to accommodate a 10 acre elementary school (School Site S) and 6 acre municipal park. The change in the location of the advisory land use designations from MD (.Medium Density Residential ) to CF (Community Facilities) was processed with Land Use Plan Amendment 93-2. The related annexation and initial. ~oning were approved ~b¥ City · Commission on ~4a.rch '22,' 1'994. The Conditio'nal Use reques, t P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 2 establish the school was approved by City Commission at its meeting of April 5, 1994. On April 8, 1994 the sale of the school site to Palm Beach County School Board and the park site to the City was consummated. The school site is now under construction and the park site is slated for future development. On April 18, 1994 the Planning and Zoning Board considered a Future Land Use Plan Amendment for 94 acres from County MR-5 to City designations of 40 acres MD (Medium Density), 40 acres LD (Low Density), 10 acres Commercial Core, and 4 acres OS (Open Space). These proposed designation would have allowed a maximum of 680 units. The accompanying development plan proposed 250 apartments and 375 attached and detached single family units (total of 625 units). The Planning and Zoning Board had concerns over the proposed intensity. In adition several members were concerned with the relocation of the Commercial Core designation from the center of the site to Linton Boulevard. The Board recommended the proposal be modified to 64 acres of Low Density, 16 acres Medium Density, 10 acres Transitional, and 4 acres of Open Space. Under this scenario a maximum unit count of 519 would have been allowed. The City Commission heard the request on May 17, 1994 and voted not to transmit the amendment, citing concerns over the overall density of the proposal. A Land Use Map change for the same 94 acres (balance of Bloods Grove) from the County Land Use Map designation of MR-5 to City designations of 51 acres of LD (Low Density), 29 acres MD (Medium Density), 4 acres of OS (Open Space), and .!0 acres of T (Transitional). has ~.been submitted as part' of 95-1, and ls',now~- before the Board.. A con~ur~eht annexation and initial zoning' request are being processed and will be before the Board at a later meeting. P R 0 J E C T D E S C R I P T I 0 N: The land under consideration is the balance of the Bloods Grove commercial orange orchard operation. It is approximately 94 acres in area and is located south of Linton Boulevard, east of Military, west of the Foxe Chase (residential) Subdivision, and north of the Del Aire Subdivision. The majority of the 94 acre site is an active orange grove including a packing and shipping operation. The Future Land Use Amendment proposal represents the redistribution of the existing advisory City land use designations. This redistribution will change the 10 acre "Commercial Core" designation to Transitional, and relocate it from the center of the site to the northeast'.corner of the site to the location of the existing Bloods shipping and packing operation. .The Bloods family will be maintaining o~nership' of the 10.acres amd desire ~o' continue', and ~dd complimentary uses .to, the existing comme'rcial ('parking and shipping') operation. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 3 The advisory designation for the 84 acre balance of the site will be modified from 40 acres Medium Density, 40 acres Low Density and 4 acres Open Space to approximately 29 acres Medium Density, 51 acres Low Density, 4 acres Open Space. The accompanying development plan accommodates a maximum of 234 Medium Density units, 258 Low Density units, 4 acres of Open Space, and 10 acres of low intensity commercial uses, which is to include 4 staff residential units (for a total of 496 units). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS: Current Land Use Desiqnations: The current County Land Use designation for the site is MR-5 (Medium Residential-5 units per acre). The City's current advisory land use designations for the site are as follows: 40 acres of MD (Medium Density), 40 acres of LD (Low Density), 4 acres of OS (Open Space), and 10 acres of CC (Commercial Core). -- Requested Land Use Desiqnations: The requested Land Use changes are similar to the City Advisory Land Use designations, however they represent a reduction of 11 acres of Medium Density and an increase of 11 acres of Low Density. In addition, a change in the designation and location of the 10 acre Commercial Core component from its current position internal to the site to a Transitional designation having frontage along Linton Boulevard is proposed. At a later meeting initial zoning designations of · RM-8, PRD-5, Open Space and SAD will be sought. -- AdJacgnt Land Use Map De~ignati~ns & Land Uss:' .. FLUM Designa'tions: City County Subject property: Low Res (1-5 du) MR-5 Res Med Density (5-12 du) Transitional Open Space Adjacent properties: North Low Density & CF N/A East Low Res (1-5 du) LR-1 Res South Low Res (1-5 du) & OS N/A West Transitional MR-5 Res Actual Land Use: Subject property: Commercial orange grove P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 4 Adjacent properties: North Shadywoods (residential) East Foxe Chase (residential), Fire Station #5,school site S, and future park site South Del Aire subdivision and Del Aire golf course West South County Professional Office Center, South County Mental Health Facility, Taheri property (proposed multi-family development), and La Casa subdivision. Allowable Land Uses: Under the proposed residential FLUM designations (Low Density and Medium Density) residential zoning districts which accommodate single family to multi-family units are allowed. Under the Open Space FLUM designations the OSR, OS and CF zoning designations allow open spaces and facilities which serve public and semi public uses. The proposed Transitional FLUM designation is consistent with residential zoning districts from single family R-lA to RM (Residential Medium), as well as agricultural, office, and neighborhood commercial zoning districts. The applicant has requested initial zoning designations of PRD-5 (Planned Residential Development - 5 units per acre), RM-8 (Residential Medium Density - 8 units per acre), OS (Open Space) and SAD (Special Activity District). These. zoning designations are consistent with the proposed land use designations. Service and. Con~rrgncy.'Impl!catlons: ~In' the p~eparation, of the Delray Beach ..Comprehensi%e Plan, the land use- designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, level of service assessments, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The proposed land use designations are the same or less intense (Transitional versus Commercial Core and Low Density versus Medium Density) as those previously considered. Thus, the act of officially adopting the City's "Advisory" Land Use designations has no negative impact with respect to general notions of service delivery and concurrency. However, as the FLUM change is technically from MR-5 (County) to the City Advisory designations of LD, MD, OS, and Transitional the difference in intensity with respect to traffic impact must be assessed. The maximum development potential under the current MR-5 FLUM designation would be 470 single family units generating 4,700 daily trips. The maximum development potential under the City's advisory land use designations of LD (52 acres), MD (29 .acres) .OP (4 acres), and T (.10 acres) will be 258 single family, 348 mu.ltl-family, and 108,.900-sq.ft. of commercial use generating a .total. of ·9',350 daily' trips.~ .The diffe'r'ence, is an additional 4,650 daily, t'rips. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 5 A traffic study has been submitted based on a development maximum of 200 single family, 350 multi-family, and 108,900 sq.ft, of commercial. The traffic study notes that both Linton Boulevard and Military Trail currently fail level of service D for average daily traffic. An alternative test 1 analysis was conducted on both roadways and each passes though the end of 1996 (build out of residential components). In 1997 Military Trail will fail concurrency (including alternative Test 1) and require six laning, before additional development can occur. The six laning of Military Trail is a County scheduled improvement for Fiscal Year 1996/97. While Linton Boulevard passed traffic concurrency the portion between 1-95 east to Waterford Place also failed the more detailed test (alternative Test 1). An additional analysis was undertaken for this intersection which estimated a reduced impact based upon traffic diversion with the opening of the Congress Avenue/I-95 interchange. When the resulting reduced traffic volumes were utilized the Linton Boulevard and 1-95 intersection also passed the alternative test. It is noted that the project passes this alternative test baSed upon assumptions which may not be supported when actual traffic counts for the Congress Avenue/I-95 interchange are available. If the assumptions are incorrect a restriction or reduction of buildable units may result. It is further noted that Palm Beach County does not consider a FLUM amendment a development order, therefore traffic concurrency must again be demonstrated during site plan approval process.. The Palm Beach County Traffic Divigion.h~s: r~viewed the ~affi~ study and has tentatlvely, accepted the conclusions within that report. A development of this size requires an additional review procedure with the County (Model Test Run). Upon completion of this procedure acceptance of the traffic report is anticipated. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed distribution of the residential land use designations maximizes compatibility with adjacent land use designations. The LD (Low Density residential) is proposed along the south and west borders adjacent the Low Density land use designations of Foxe Chase to the east and Del Aire to the south. The majority of the MD (Medium Density Residential) Land Use designation is proposed along Linton Boulevard and adjacent to the proposed "Transitional" land use designation. The "Transitional" component which is noted internal to the site as "Commercial Core" in the existing City advisory designations is proposed for relocation to Linton Boulevard. The applicant has indicated the relocation of the commercial component is to accommodate the existing. Bloods packing house and to establish up to an additional 83,900 sq.ft, of accessoFy conunercial uses. The .additional uses are Primarily intended to acce.ntuate~, the existigg shipping~and pDrking 9~ange Gro~e.'operation.. . · P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 6 PRD Component: While the proposed residential land use designations are compatible with the adjacent and surrounding land use designations this compatibility does not relate to any specific development proposals. The proposed zoning classification of PRD requires approval through the Master Development Plan process. With the processing of the Master Development Plan compatibility with respect to size of lots and residential structures etc. will be addressed in detail. Open Space Component: Within the Bloods property a 4 acre Hammock community exists with an advisory designation of Open Space. The surrounding residential areas will have a Low Density land use designation and PRD zoning designation. The 4 acre Open Space area will be located entirely within the PRD itself. In order to ensure its preservation the area will be given Open Space land use and zoning designations. However, given its location the PR/), it is appropriate that it be counted toward meeting the required PRD open space component (15% of gross area or 7.8 acres) required by Section 4.4.7(F)(2)(b). Transitional Component: As the commercial is no longer completely interior to the site, the applicant has proposed to change the "Commercial Core" designation to-'%Transitional" and accommodate neighborhood.type commercial uses in addition 'to th9 existing packin~ house. ~AS the uses are a. c~mbinat'ion of agricultural and commercial and cannot be accommodated under a conventional zoning district a SAD zoning designation is proposed. The proposed SAD zoning requires concurrent processing of site development plans, including a specific list of uses which can only be modified by amending the SAD Ordinance. This list is anticipated to allow office and commercial uses that are less intense than those permitted under zoning districts consistent under a Commercial Core designation. This alternative designation of Transitional along with the SAD zoning will help ensure that the commercial uses are neighborhood oriented. With the processing of the site development plans compatibility with respect to intensity of the commercial, landscape buffers etc. will be addressed. Implementation and Direction of the Comprehensive Plan: TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: City Collector Aliqnment: Within the Comprehensive Plan's Traffic Element a future City Collector Road is indicated. The road propose~ to connect Linton Boulevard to Military Trail across the BLoods property, and the adja~.e, nt Taheri property. .The. exis'ting' al.'ign~ent notes "the City..coll'ector~ South-from 'Linton'Bo~l~vard along the w~stern edge of. Blood.s' property to. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 7 approximately the center of the Taheri property. At this point the roadway proceeds westward across the Taheri property to Military Trail. With the development of the Taheri property and the concept proposal accompanying this land use amendment elimination of this collector is contemplated. In traffic studies submitted by the applicant and supported by the City's traffic consultant it has been demonstrated that while a collector is desirable it is not vital to the function of the Military Trail/Linton Boulevard intersection. Therefore, the primary function of this roadway is to provide the ability for each community (Taheri & Bloods) to access Linton Boulevard, Military Trail and the school site internally. The concept plan which is accompanying this Land Use Amendment provides for the desired connection. A combination public and private gated roadway is proposed between the developments. The applicant has indicated that future residents of the Taheri property will have access to the private roadway through the gatehouse. Residents within Bloods would have access to both Linton Boulevard and Military Trail via their private roadway and the public portion of the roadway. As no development proposal is eminent for Bloods the ability to provide this connection must be maintained and required of future development. It is recommended that prior to removing the City Collector from the Future Land Use Map a developers agreement be executed and recorded between Bloods and the City requiring the desired connection. · Germant°wn 'Roadway Aliqnment': During the..Pr0ces~ing of .t.he. -FLUM amendment for the Schobl and park Rite a realignment of Germantown Road was proposed. The realignment extended Germantown Road west through the Bloods site and then north to Linton Boulevard opposite Palm Forest Way in Shadywoods. The temporary bus access for the school and access for the park is proposed from the western extension of Germantown Road where it proceeds north to intersect with Linton Boulevard. The temporary access (section north from Germantown Road to Linton Boulevard) was to be removed with development of the permanent alignment. The existing traffic light at the temporary access was then to be moved to the permanent alignment (Palm Forest way and Linton Boulevard). With the relocation of the commercial operation to Linton Boulevard the extension of Germantown Road to the proposed spine road (permanent alignment) is not provided. The applicant has indicated that the reason for the elimination of the connection is to preserve the vegetation and ambience at the entrance to Blood's Grove operation. Under the current proposal the temporary access would become permanent and serve the school, park, and 10 acre commercial property. The proposed spine road at Linton Bgulevard and Palm Forest Way.will provide access to futu~e.residential.d~velopment, within Bloods'Grove and acc.ess.to the school and commercial area. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 8 The elimination of the Germantown Road extension provides serious concerns with respect to traffic circulation patterns. If the future central spine road requires signalization the existing signal serving Germantown Road would be relocated. Staff members of the County Traffic Division have stated that the minimum spacing between signals is 1,000'. The 2 proposed intersections will be approximately 550' apart. The Traffic Division indicated the existing traffic light would stay at the Germantown Road/Linton Boulevard intersection until the traffic volume at the spine road (Palm Forest Way/Linton Boulevard intersection ) warrants signalization. At that point the existing light would most likely be relocated. The signal relocation would leave traffic from Germantown Road, the school site, park and Bloods commercial operation intersecting Linton Boulevard at a non signalized intersection. The original proposal and alignment would have all traffic intersecting Linton Boulevard at the signalized intersection at Linton Boulevard and Palm Forest Way. City staff is working with Palm Beach County to limit signalization at the central spine road to a signal which would operate during school hours only. If successful the need for the east/west roadway extension across the commercial tract to the spine road is diminished. However, as this situation is yet to be resolved the potential to accommodate the connection must be made. The east/west alignment is to be noted on the Master Plan as a roadway reservation and the SAD plan should accommodate it with respect · to commercial phasing' and 'appropriate buffering. -. .-' REVIEW BY OTHERS: The land use amendment request is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board), DDA ( Downtown Development Authority), or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency).

Guiliano (Foxe Chase) * Del Aire Subdivision * Shadywoods Homeowners Association. * Spanish Wells Condo Association * Gretchen Bacon, Oakmont Residential Assoc. * Lillian Feldman, United Property Owners Assoc. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 9 ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSIONS: The proposed Land Use designation and related initial zoning designation allow a maximum development potential of 496 residential units. This intensity is significantly less than would be allowed under the existing Advisory Land Use designations which would accommodate up to 680 residential units. This reduced intensity enhances the compatibility of the development with adjacent communities particularly the Del Aire and Fox Chase subdivisions. The proposed FLUM amendment generates concerns which relate to the relocation of the commercial uses. These include: Control of Potential Commercial Uses: The proposed amendment represents a change from the advisory land use designation of Commercial Core to Transitional. The amendment further proposed a relocation of the 10 acres from the center of the site to Linton Boulevard. The original intent of the Commercial Core designation was 'to primarily serve the commercial needs of the surrounding subdivision. The proposed relocation and accommodation of the existing Bloods operation differs in some respects from the that intent. However, under a Transitional land use designation the current and proposed uses are consistent with uses allowed under ~0nsi~tent- -zohing. de~ignatlons. ,, The applioation of a Transitional land use d~signation and an 'SAD zoning designation- ''., will provide some limitations on' the level and 'intensity of future uses. Alignment of Germantown Road: With the negotiations of the school site and park site the extension of Germantown Road was proposed. With the relocation of the commercial component the applicant has proposed elimination of a portion of the alignment to maintain the ambience of the existing entry. The elimination of the extension may negatively effect signalization of related intersections with Linton Boulevard. Accommodation of this extension via a road reservation must be provided. The next steps in the development process will be annexation and initial zoning of the property. The proposed zoning designation of SAD will also require concurrent submittal of a site plan. Some of the issues identified in this report i.e. Germantown Road alignment; and compatibility of site specific plans with adjacent existing land. use types are to be resolved at this stage. . . .

The subject property is located on the east side of North Federal Highway, approximately 2,900 feet south of Gulfstream Boulevard, immediately south of the Delray Swap Shop. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposal is to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay designation that currently applies to the overall 11.11 acre parcel. The designation was applied in order to accommodate the mixed use development known as Marina Cay. The underlying land use designation of the property is and will remain Medium Density Residential (5-12 dwelling units per acre). BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in 1989, the property was designated as MediUm Density Residential with a Large Scale Mixed Use overlay designation. In addition to the above designations, the property was to include a 2 acre General Commercial component which was not applied to the Future Land Use Map. On October 8, 1991, the City Commission approved a corrective Future Land Use Map amendment to apply the 2 acre commercial component on the property. The 2 acre commercial comPonent was applied as a · . "floating". designation which had no'.sp~cific location~ On' Au'gust 27', ~989,'"the City' commission ap~r0ved a rezoning request to SAD (Special Activities District) together with a conditional use and site plan to accommodate a large scale mixed use development to be known as Marina Cay. The development proposal consisted of 102 multiple family units, a 62 slip marina, 65,500 sq.ft, of retail/office/restaurant use, and private recreation facilities including a health club. Subsequent extensions to the approval were granted, but the project was never built. On February 21, 1995, the City Commission approved a request to _ rezone the overall 11.11 acre parcel from SAD (Special Activities District) to RM (Medium Density Residential) in conjunction with a request for a Future Land Use Map amendment to change the 2 acre General Commercial component of the property to Medium Density Residential. The rezoning to RM repealed the SAD ordinance for the Marina Cay development. At that time, it was identified that the existing Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation would be removed in conjunction with the City's annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1. P & Z Staff Report FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation from Marina Cay site Page 2 LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT ANALYSIS : Future Land Use Map Consistency: Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 3.1.1 (A) (Future Land Use Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map. Pursuant to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, land which has a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner, however it may develop pursuant to the underlying ( or base ) land use des ignat ion. A Large Scale Mixed Use development shall occur only through the application of Special Activities District (SAD) zoning. As the property was recently rezoned from SAD to RM, it is appropriate to remove the overlay des ignation. After removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay category, the property will have Medium Density Residential land use and RM (Medium Density Residential) zoning designations. While ' a development proposal has not been submitted, multiple- family development is anticipated. Medium Density residential uses are allowed under the proposed Land Use and Zoning designations as permitted uses. Adjacent Zoninq Desiqnations & Land Uses: North of the subject property ',is zoned GC (~enleral Commercial a~d Town. of Gulfstream RS (ReSide~tia'l Single Family); west is' zoned AC (Automotive-.Commercial); south is zoned GC, RM, and R-1-A (Single Family. Residential); and, east, across the Intracoastal Wa'terway, is zoned Town of Gulfstream OR (Outdoor Recreation) . The existing land uses to the north are the Delray Swap Shop and a spoil area for dredging the Intracoastal Waterway [FIND ( Florida Inland Navigational District ) property]; south is Sande ' s Restaurant, a mix of single family and duplex structures, and an 8-unit multiple family structure; west is a vacant auto dealership; and east across the Intracoastal Waterway is the Gulfstream Golf Course. Land Use Compatibility: Compatibility with the adjacent residences will be enhanced through this action. The resulting Land Use and Zoning designations will allow a residential development consistent with the residences south of the property. Removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation will result in a reduction of the maximum development potential i.e. commercial and residential as identified under t.h.e description of.. the Large Sdale Mixed Use Overlay in the Futdre Land. Use Element. P & Z Staff Report FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation from Marina Cay site Page 3 Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation will result in a reduction of service demands. REVIEW BY OTHERS : The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board) or the DDA (Downtown Development Authority). Community Redevelopment Agency At its meeting of April 13, 1995, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed and recommended approval of the land use map amendment. Special Courtesy Notice: Special notice was provided to Scott Harrington, Town Manager, Town of Gulfstream. Courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowner's and neighborhood associations: * North"F. ed~ral Highway Task ~.ea~ * Beach Property: Owner.'s Association * Northeast Neighborhood * Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD) Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION: The Land Use Map Amendment removing the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The adjacent residences are predominantly multiple family in nature (i.e. duplexes, multiple-family structure). Removal of the Overlay designation is appropriate as the property was recently rezoned from SAD to RM, which has a maximum development potential of 133 residential units.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 (Medium Residential) and HR-8 (High Residential) to City MDR (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac). The affected property is located on the north side of West Atlantic Avenue, between Barwick Road and Hamlet Drive, and contains approximately 18.10 acres. BACKGROUND: The property under consideration is an unplatted 18.10 acre parcel which is primarily vacant land with three residential structures, 2 multi-bay garages, and a man-made lake located on the southern portion of the property. Previously, the subject property included the 1.5 acre parcel at the southwest corner of the property, known as the Rod and Gun Club Restaurant. In 1983, the 1.5 acre parcel was annexed into the City with an SAD (Special Activities District) zoning designation and was subsequently converted from a sporting goods store (Rods and Guns of Delray, Inc.) to the current restaurant. With the Citywide rezoning of October 1990, the property was rezoned to POC (Planned Office Center). In 1989, with the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan the City's "advisory" land use designation of the property was changed from SF (Single Family Residential) and MF-L (Multi-Family - Low Density) to Transitional. The Transitional designation on the south 5.25 acres was inconsistent with the County's 'designations of ~/5 (C®mm~rc~al with an-'underlying Medium Density R~sidentiai ~ du/at) and CH/5 (COmmercial High with an underlying Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac). In 1993, the City attempted to enter into an Extra-territorial Powers agreement with the County which would have given the City Land Use authority in the City's Planning Area. Under this agreement the City's Future Land Use designations would have applied within the unincorporated portions of the Planning area thereby eliminating conflicts. The Extra-territorial Powers agreement was opposed by affected residents and property owners and was not approved by the Board of County Commissioners. In 1994, in the continuing effort to achieve consistency, the City Commission formally requested the Board of County Commissioners direct its Planning Department to initiate changes to the County FLUM to eliminate conflicts. The amendments were necessary in order to comply with their respective Comprehensive Plan policies which ensure consistency between County and City FLUM designations in the City's Planning Area. County and City staff met in April, 1994 to discuss the inconsistencies. As a r~sult of that meeting, the County initiated nine changes as P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 2 part of their 94-2 FLUM amendment and the City initiated one change as a small scale amendment. These changes were made for parcels which had commercial potential in the County but were inconsistent with the City land use designations. One of these amendments included the south 5.25 acres of the subject property, which was amended from C/5 and CH/5 to HR-8. On February 3, 1995, an application for a Future Land Use Map amendment, Annexation and initial zoning were submitted and are now before the Board for action. This report deals with the Future Land Use Map amendment which is part of the City's annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1. The annexation and the initial zoning request are addressed in a separate staff report. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The south 5.25 acres (adjacent to Atlantic Avenue) has a County land use designation of HR-8 (High Density Residential 5-8 du/ac) and the north 12.85 acres has a land use designation of MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 3-5 du/ac). The proposal is to change the Future Land Use Map designation from County HR-8 and MR-5 to City MDR (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac). LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT ANALYSIS .' Current Land Use Designations: The current County land use map designation for the property is County MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac) and County HR-8 (High Density Residential 8 du/ac ) . The current City "advisory" designation for this · pr°perty is Transitional. · ' Requested Land 'U~e D~lgnat£on: The applicant originally proposed annexation into the City with the advisory land use designation of Transitional. As the requested zoning is RM, staff suggested that the requested land use be changed to Medium Density Residential as well. The applicant revised the request accordingly to Medium Density Residential (5-12 du/ac). Land Use Analysis: Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 3.1.1 (A) (Future Land Use Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map. The accompanying annexation and initial zoning application is seeking a RM (Medium Density Residential) zoning district. The proposed use (residential development) is allowed as a permitted use within the RM zoning district. The Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac land use designation is also consistent with the proposed RM zoning designation. .. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 3 Adjacent Land Use Map Designations~ Zoning Desiqnations & Land Uses: North: The property to the north of the subject parcel, across the L-33 Canal, has a County land use map designation of LR-1 and is zoned RS (Single Family Residential). The existing land use is a 51 unit single family subdivision known as Kingsland, with a density of 1 unit per acre. South: The abutting property to the south has a City Future Land Use Map designation of Transitional and is zoned POC (Planned Office Center). The existing use of the property is the Rod & Gun Restaurant. South of West Atlantic Avenue is a combination of City Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac, and Recreation and Open Space land use designations with zoning designations of R-lA (Single Family Residential) and OSR (Open Space and Recreational), respectively. The existing use of the property is a planned residential development known as The Hamlet, a country club community with a density of 1 unit per acre. East: The properties to the east have a City Future Land Use Map designation of Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac with a PRD (Planned Residential Development) zoning designation. The existing use of the property is a lll-unit single family subdivision known as Windy Creek/Hanover Square, with a density of 4.5 units per acre. In addition, abutting the southeast portion of the subject property ,is a vacant .unincorporated parcel (~,44' acres) · ..' ..having a. County FLUM-'designat~on of CH/5 .(Commercial 'High " ~i6h an underlying Me~ium'Denslty Residential 5 'du/ac) with an AR (Agricultural Residential) zoning designation. West: West of the subject property has a Community Facilities land use designation with a City CF (Community Facilities) zoning designation. The use of the property is Carver Middle School with a gopher tortoise preserve abutting a majority of the subject property's west property line. Allowable Land Uses: Under the proposed Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac FLUM designation, residential zoning districts which accommodate single family and multiple family units are allowed (R-1-A thru R-l-AAA, RL, PRD, and RM). The applicant has requested an initial zoning designation of RM (Medium Density Residential 6-12 du/ac). This zoning designation is consistent with the proposed land use designation. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 4 Land Use Compatibility: The application of Medium Density Residential FLUM designation allowing 5-12 units per acre may be compatible with adjacent land use designations. Compatibility with the adjacent residential developments is a concern at the higher density range of the designation. The residential developments to the north and south are developed at 1 unit per acre and the abutting residential development to the east has a density of 4.7 units per acre. The following are the densities of the surrounding residential developments within a 2,000 foot radius of the subject property: Subdivision units/acre High Point 8.0 du/ac Homewood Lakes 6.0 du/ac Sherwood Forest 3.0 du/ac Highland Trailer Park 7.7 du/ac Sunset Pines 7.6 du/ac Franwood Pines 3.0 du/ac Kingsland Pines 3.0 du/ac Any future development of the property should be consistent with the densities of the surrounding residential developments. The maximum density allowed under the proposed City MDR land use designation is 12 units per acre or 217 units (18.10 ac X 12 u/a). The current.development potential of the property under the County's land use designations (MR-5 and HR-8) is 82 units or 4.5 units per acre. Under the County's land use designationsg.' properties which' contain 20 acres, ..and "are de~elbped a~-a PU~,' ma~ be'develoPed'at the maximum density..Of the underlying land use. However, if the property does not contain 20 acres and is not developed as a PUD, the maximum density allowed under the MR-5 is 4 units per acre, and under the HR-8 is 6 units per acre. Site specific compatibility of future development with the adjacent residential developments will be addressed at the time of site development plan review. As the proposed City RM zoning has a range of 6-12 units per acre, it may be appropriate to limit the upward range in density to densities similar to that of the surrounding communities described above. As the property is adjacent to a middle school on one side, and abuts an existing restaurant, a density in the range of 8 units per acre (as opposed to a lower density) is probably more realistic. A suffix of 8 units per acre would limit development to a maximum of 144 units. Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the ov.erall land use pattern,..assessment of level of service, .~" the~pro¥ision of s~r~ices, and meeting .remaining land. us.e needs.. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 5 The proposed land use designation is the same or less intense (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac versus Transitional) as those previously considered. Thus, the act of officially applying the City' s Medium Density Residential land use designation has no impact with respect to general notions of service delivery. However, as the FLUM change is technically from County MR-5 and HR-8 to the City designation of Medium Density Residential 5-12 u/a the difference in intensity with respect to traffic impact must be assessed. The maximum development potential under the current MR-5 and HR-8 FLUM designations would be 82 single family units generating 820 daily trips. Pursuant to the traffic study submitted with the appl icat ion, the maximum development potential under the City's MDR will be 214 single family units generating a total of 2,140 daily trips. Thus, the difference is an additional 1,320 daily trips. Atlantic Avenue has recently been six-laned in this area and has sufficient capacity to meet concurrency. The traffic study shows peak hour traffic numbers which would require off-site improvements which include the need to install a left turn lane on the eastbound Atlantic Avenue as well as a right turn lane on westbound Atlantic Avenue. However, with the six laning of Atlantic Avenue along the frontage of this property, a left turn lane on eastbound Atlantic Avenue was installed at the Hamlet Drive intersection. With the submittal of a specific development ' proposal, r. oadway impr.ovements will be further. · reviewed. .. .- "'.'~ .., . R E v'I E W B Y O T H E R S : The subject property is not in a geograph-ical area requiring review by the CRA ( Community Redevelopment Agency), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board). Palm Beach County Notice: On February 28, 1995 the Palm Beach County Planning Division was notified of the City's intent to annex this property. To date, a response has not been received. IPARC Notice: Notice of the Land Use Map Amendment was also provided to the Interlocal Plan Amendment Review Committee ( IPARC ) which distributes the information to adjacent municipalities. To date, a response has not been received. P & Z Staff Report 'Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 6 Courtesy Notice: Courtesy notices were sent to the fol lowing homeowners associations and civic associations: * Greensward Village Condominium Association (within The Hamlet development ) * Hamlet Residents Association * Hanover Square Homeowners Association * High Point Condominium Association * Highland Trailer Park * PROD (Progressive Residents of Delray) * Windy Creek Homeowners Association * Woodlake Homeowners Association * United Property Owners Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to all property owners within a 500 foot radius of the subject property. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION: The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 and HR-8 to City Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac for this property is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The change is to a designation allowing a range of similar intensity as currently 'allowed under, the County land-use.'.designations.. The request is 'less 'intense than tha~ co, ntempiated .under 'the c~rent 'city "advisory'" Transitional designation. It is noted tha~ with the change from County MR-5 and HR-8 to City MDR an increase of 135 residential units is possible. The potential increase is a function of the County requirements of a 20 acre minimum land area under PRD to qualify for 5 versus 4 units per acre under the MR-5 designation and 8 versus 6 units per acre under the HR-8. Given the surrounding densities, it is recommended that a RM-8 suffix be applied with associated initial zoning. Site specific compatibility of future development under this suffix with the adjacent residential developments will be addressed at the time of site development plan review. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS : A.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a City initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment which includes the following components: * Changing the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Low Density (up to 5 units per acre) for approximately 118.35 acres in the northwest corner of the City. * Changing the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Transitional for 3.51 acres in the northwest corner of the City (Delray Storage site). These changes are to achieve consistency with the existing County Land Use Plan designations of MR-5 (Medium Density Residential - 5 units per acres) and CH-O (Commercial High Office). Such consistency is directed by Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.3a. BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in November, 1989, "advisory" land use designations were applied to all areas which were outside the City limits but within the City's Planning Area. The portion of the City that is the subject of this amendment was given a Rural Residential advisory land use designa.tion. The County Land Use ' designations for the -propertie. s is currently. MR-5 (Medium Densi.ty Residential -.5 ' units ... per acre) 'and CH-O (Commercial" High Off..i~e ' With ~ residential equivalent of 8 units.per acre). The Land Use designations between the City and the County FLUMs within the City's Planning Area were to be made consistent and/or compatible with the adoption for each plan. A program for achieving consistency was worked out with assistance from the Palm Beach County-wide Planning Council in 1989. The program involved changes to the land use categories to be adopted by the County as they prepared their FLUM (Future Land Use Map). Unfortunately, the degree of desired consistency did not occur. In June, 1993, the City attempted to enter into an Extra- territorial Powers agreement with the County which would have given the City Land Use authority in the City's Planning area. Under this agreement the City's Future Land Use designations would have applied within the unincorporated portions of the Planning area thereby eliminating conflicts. The Extra- territorial Powers Agreement was opposed by affected residents and. property owners and was not approved by the Board of County Commissioners. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 2 In the continuing effort to achieve consistency in 1994, the City Commission formally requested that the Board of County Commissioners direct its Planning Department to initiate changes to the County FLUM to eliminate conflicts. County and City staff met in April, 1994 to discuss the inconsistencies. As a result of that meeting the County initiated nine changes as part of their 94-2 FLUM amendment and the City initiated one change as a small scale amendment. For the most part, these changes were for parcels which had commercial potential in the County but were inconsistent with the non-commercial City Land Use designations. On the same agenda a private petition was also considered for the Delray Storage site from County MR-5 to GC (General Commercial). The City objected to this amendment as it was inconsistent with the Transitional (front half) and Rural Residential (rear half) City advisory land use designations. The County eventually approved a CH-O (Commercial High Office) designation for the property. The CH-O is consistent with the Transitional land use designation but inconsistent with the Rural Residential land use designation. The portion of this amendment relating to Rural Residential to Transitional will achieve consistency with the County CH-O land use designation. The balance of the amendment from Rural Residential to LD (Low Density) will achieve consistency with the long standing MR-5 County designation. A private land owner within this area. (Mrs. Bennett.- 35 acres) has expressed c0ngerD with the inconsistences between the FLUMs as · it relates to:.~he future developmeht potential of. her 'proPerty (see attached letter). Any future'development of her' property would involve the extension of water and. sewer service from the City, requiring either annexation of the property or execution of a water service agreement. Under either scenario compliance with City LDRs and Comprehensive Plan (Rural Residential) would be required. Development of 1 unit per 3 acres is significantly less than her current development potential of 5 units per acre under the County designation. Staff responded (see attached letter) that we would be seeking consistency between the designations during this Amendment 95-1. On February 28, 1995 the City Commission initiated these changes as part of FLUM amendment 95-1, in the continuing process to attain the desired consistency. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The land under consideration is made up of 31 parcels ranging from 35.78 acres to .25 acres in size. The parcels are developed with. a combination of nurseries, farms, single family homes and a commercial-storage facility. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 3 There is no development proposal accompanying the action as its purpose is to achieve consistency between the FLUM plans thereby avoiding further problems when future annexation and development are proposed. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS: Current Land Use Desiqnations: The current County Land Use designation for the property is a combination of MR-5 (Medium Residential-5 units per acre) for 118.35 acres and CH-O (Commercial High Office) for 3.51 acres (Delray Storage Facility). The City's current advisory land use designation for this properties is Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres). Proposed Land Use Designations: The proposed Land Use changes are from the City Advisory Land Use designations of Rural Residential to City Advisory Low Density (5 units per acre) for 118.35 acres and Transitional for 3.51 acres (Delra¥ Storage Facility). Adjacent Land Use Map Desiqnations & Land Use: FLUM Desiqnations: City Cou.nt¥ Subject Properties: Rural Residential MR-5 · -' (.t unit per. 3 acre-~) Medium' Den.~.ity ..

The Transitional land use designation will be applied to the existing Delray Storage, and is consistent with residential zonings SF through RM, office zoning of POD, POC, commercial designation of NC and Mobile Home zoning districts. Proposed future modifications to the Mobile Home zoning district regulations may allow RV storage and sales. If these modifications are approved the existing use would become conforming. Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of ~e~ices, and meeting remaining land use needs. The proposed-land"use'desigaation change represents an increase'. ih residential 'inte~s~.ty.fr0m a.maximum of 40 ~nits'.to' 591 un~ts (di'fference of 551 residential ~nits). The 3.51 acres of Transitional would allow additional residential, office, or neighborhood commercial uses. With respect to impact on services, except traffic, development of the Transitional land use with Medium Density Residential uses (42 additional residential units) would create the greatest impact. Therefore, this amendment°s impact on services will consider the entire 121.86 acres as residential land use. Provision of Sewer Service: The City's Comprehensive Plan allocates 115 gallons per day per person. The additional 593 units is anticipated to add 999 persons (593 x 2.19 x 77%) to the overall city population. This will increase the needed sewer service capacity an additional 114,997 gallons per day. The City's share of capacity at the Wastewater Treatment Plant is 12 MGD (million gallons per day). At the current rate of buildout existing buildout the City is anticipated to utilize 9.05 MGD of that capacity. With the projected increase of 114,997 gallons a day this will increase to 9.16 MGD, thus adequate capacity will exist. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 5 Provision of Water Service: The City's Comprehensive Plan allocates 195 gallons per day per person, and 263 gallons (peak demand) per day per person. The additional 593 units is anticipated to add 999 persons (593 x 2.19 x 77%) to the overall city population. This will increase the needed water service capacity an additional 194,805 gallons per day, 262,737 peak demand. The City's water treatment plant has a design capacity of 27.2 MGD. At the current rate of buildout (year 2000) the City is anticipated to require 14.5 MGD, 21.9 peak demand. With the projected increase of 194,805 gallons per day, 262,737 peak demand this will increase to 14.8 MGD, 22.2 peak demand, thus adequate capacity will still exist. Dralnaqe: The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is one of the entities having operational responsibility for management of drainage. Others include the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) and the City itself. The SFWDD and LWDD facilities are all designed to accommodate an area greater than the City and its planning area. Remaining development will not have a significant impact upon those agency's existing facilities. Furthermore, all new development must be permitted through SFWMD and LWDD, and demonstrate the ability to accommodate a portion of there own drainage. Traffic: The intensification of the Land Use designation will create an increase in development traffic. Under the current land use designation of Rural Residential (121.86 acres) a maximum of 40 single .family units could be constructed generating a total of 400 daily trips. The .maximum'.traf.fic · impact for the Proposed amendment would result from'low density residential (118.35 acres), office and commercial development (3.51 acres). This maximum potential is 591 single family units, 21,780 sq.ft, of commercial and 19,732 sq.ft, of office. The combination of uses would generate a total of 7,157 daily trips, a difference of 6,757 daily trips. Military Trail adjacent to the site is a 6 lane facility and has sufficient available capacity to accommodate the increased traffic generation. Open Space and Recreation: Excluding resource based activities and facilities such as the beach, the municipal golf course, and Lake Ida Park there are presently 137 acres (including new northwest park) dedicated to activity based recreation in the City. In addition to this acreage, there are facilities provided by the School District, private golf courses, and numerous facilities provided through private homeQwners associations. The resource based facilities include the beach (1 1/4 miles which is publicly owned), beach parking and access facilities, Lake Ida, the Intracoastal Waterway, and conservation parcels located along the Waterway and elsewhere in the City. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 6 The amount of land associated with both the activity based and resource based facilities provides a level of approximately eight (8) acres per 1,000 residents. This number far exceeds the 3 acres per 1,000 residents level of service established by the 1986 Citizen's Policy Guide to the Land Use Element. The addition of 1,041 new residents will have little effect on the existing level of service. Solid Waste: The solid waste assessments are done on a county wide basis. The City's planning area has been previously assessed by Solid waste based upon the existing County Land use designation of MR-5 (5 units per acre). This designation is similar to the LD (Low Density) City designation proposed for 118.35 acres. The 3.51 acres will represent a potential increase for MR-5 to up to 12 units per acre under Medium Density or 24 additional units. At the projected .8 tons per unit/per year this would result in a potential increase of 19.2 tons per year. This additional amount can be accommodated by the current facilities. It is further noted that an increase is unlikely as the amendment is being processed to accommodate t'he existing storage facility which would created less waste than the existing County MR-5 designation. Land Use Compatibility: The application of Low Density Residential Land Use Designation is consistent and compatible with surrounding residential uses and intensities. It is noted that 5 of the parcels contain single family homes on 5 or more acres.

P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 7 Implementation and Direction of the Comprehensive Plan: Land Use Element: Policy B-3.3a The City has petitioned Palm Beach County to make changes to its Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in order for there to be consistency between the City and County FLUM designations within the Delray Beach Planning and Service Area. Once consistency is achieved, the City shall petition for an interlocal agreement wherein provisions shall be made that the City's FLUM designation shall be in effect immediately upon annexation of a specific parcel. Following any annexation, the Future Land Use Map, and appropriate portions of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be amended to reflect the change in the City's boundary. While this policy makes reference to specific petitions submitted, i.e. commercial parcels included as part of 94-2 it also refers to the on going process to achieve consistency between the FLUMe. Changes to additional parcels will be for the Board in subsequent FLUM amendments until total consistency has been achieved. At that Point an interlocal agreement will be drafted and entered into 'by the City Commission and the Board of County Commissioners.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a privately initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment which includes the following: * Changing the land use designation from County MR-5 (Medium Density Residential- 5 units per acre) to a combination of City LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 units per acre), MD (Medium Density Residential 5-12 units per acre), T (Transitional) and OS (Open Space). The subject property is approximately 94 acres and represents the balance of the Bloods Grove property after the recent annexation of 17 acres for the municipal fire station, park and School Site S. BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in November, 1989, "advisory" land use designations were applied to all areas which were outside the City limits but within the City's Planning Area. The 111 acre Bloods Grove site was given advisory designations as follows: 40 acres Medium Density Residential, 40 acres Low Density Residential, 17 acres Community Facilities, 10 acres Commercial Core, and 4 acres Open Space. The 17 acres of Community Facilities was intended to accommodate a future elementary school site, neighborhood park, and fire station in the southwest portion of the City. On November 26, 1991 the City annexed 1.808 of the 111 acres, at the northeast corner of the property via Ordinance 76-91. The 1.808 acres consisted of an access easement as well as a temporary and permanent fire station site. The temporary fire station was placed on the site while the permanent fire station was constructed. Fire station # 5 has since been completed and the temporary station removed. In April, 1993, an annexation petition, land use plan amendment and initial zoning request to accommodate a 10 acre elementary school site on the Taheri property adjacent to Bloods Grove was submitted. Before those actions were formally processed, the School Board reconsidered that location and instead chose a 10 acre site in the northeast portion of Bloods Grove. As a part of the School District's purchase contract the City was to locate a municipal park contiguous to the school site. In April, 1993 the owners of Bloods Grove granted agency to the City for the processing of an annexation petition and all land development applications necessary to accommodate a 10 acre elementary school (School Site S) and 6 acre municipal park. The change in the location of the advisory land use designations from MD (Medium Density Residential ) to CF (Community Facilities) was processed with Land Use Plan Amendment 93-2. The related annexation and initial zoning were approved by City Commission on March 22, 1994. The Conditional Use request to P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 2 establish the school was approved by City Commission at its meeting of April 5, 1994. On April 8, 1994 the sale of the school site to Palm Beach County School Board and the park site to the City was consummated. The school site is now under construction and the park site is slated for future development. On April 18, 1994 the Planning and Zoning Board considered a Future Land Use Plan Amendment for 94 acres from County MR-5 to City designations of 40 acres MD (Medium Density), 40 acres LD (Low Density), 10 acres Commercial Core, and 4 acres OS (Open Space). These proposed designation would have allowed a maximum of 680 units. The accompanying development plan proposed 250 apartments and 375 attached and detached single family units (total of 625 units). The Planning and Zoning Board had concerns over the proposed intensity. In adition several members were concerned with the relocation of the Commercial Core designation from the center of the site to Linton Boulevard. The Board recommended the proposal be modified to 64 acres of Low Density, 16 acres Medium Density, 10 acres Transitional, and 4 acres of Open Space. Under this scenario a maximum unit count of 519 would have been allowed. The City Commission heard the request on May 17, 1994 and voted not to transmit the amendment, citing concerns over the overall density of the proposal. A Land Use Map change for the same 94 acres (balance of Bloods Grove) from the County Land Use Map designation of MR-5 to City designations of 51 acres of LD (Low Density), 29 acres MD (Medium Density), 4 acres of OS (Open Space), and 10 acres of T (Transitional) has been submitted as part of 95-1 and is now before the Board. A concurrent annexation and initial zoning request are being processed and will be before the Board at a later meeting. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The land under consideration is the balance of the Bloods Grove commercial orange orchard operation. It is approximately 94 acres in area and is located south of Linton Boulevard, east of Military, west of the Foxe Chase (residential) Subdivision, and north of the Del Aire Subdivision. The majority of the 94 acre site is an active orange grove including a packing and shipping operation. The Future Land Use Amendment proposal represents the redistribution of the existing advisory City land use designations. This redistribution will change the 10 acre "Commercial Core" designation to Transitional, and relocate it from the center of the site to the northeast corner of the site to the location of the existing Bloods shipping and packing operation. The Bloods family will be maintaining ownership of the 10 acres and desire to continue, and add complimentary uses to, the existing commercial (parking and shipping) operation. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 3 The advisory designation for the 84 acre balance of the site will be modified from 40 acres Medium Density, 40 acres Low Density and 4 acres Open Space to approximately 29 acres Medium Density, 51 acres Low Density, 4 acres Open Space. The accompanying development plan accommodates a maximum of 234 Medium Density units, 258 Low Density units, 4 acres of Open Space, and 10 acres of low intensity commercial uses, which is to include 4 staff residential units (for a total of 496 units). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS: Current Land Use Desiqnations: The current County Land Use designation for the site is MR-5 (Medium Residentiai-5 units per acre). The City's current advisory land use designations for the site are as follows: 40 acres of MD (Medium Density), 40 acres of LD (Low Density), 4 acres of OS (Open Space), and 10 acres of CC (Commercial Core). Requested Land Use Desiqnations: The requested Land Use changes are similar to the City Advisory Land Use designations, however they represent a reduction of 11 acres of Medium Density and an increase of 11 acres of Low Density. In addition, a change in the designation and location of the 10 acre Commercial Core component from its current position internal to the site to a Transitional designation having frontage along Linton Boulevard is proposed. At a later meeting initial zoning designations of RM-8, PRD-5, Open Space and SAD will be sought. Adjacent Land Use Map Designations & Land Use: FLUM Desiqnations: City County Subject property: Low Res (1-5 du) MR-5 Res Med Density (5-12 du) Transitional Open Space Adjacent properties: North Low Density & CF N/A East Low Res (1-5 du) LR-1 Res South Low Res (1-5 du) & OS N/A West Transitional MR-5 Res Actual Land Use: Subject property: Commercial orange grove P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 4 Adjacent properties: North Shadywoods (residential) East Foxe Chase (residential), Fire Station #5,school site S, and future park site South Del Aire subdivision and Del Aire golf course West South County Professional Office Center, South County Mental Health Facility, Taheri property (proposed multi-family development), and La Casa subdivision. Allowable Land Uses: Under the proposed residential FLUM designations (Low Density and Medium Density) residential zoning districts which accommodate single family to multi-family units are allowed. Under the Open Space FLUM designations the OSR, OS and CF zoning designations allow open spaces and facilities which serve public and semi public uses. The proposed Transitional FLUM designation is consistent with residential zoning districts from single family R-lA to RM (Residential Medium), as well as agricultural, office, and neighborhood commercial zoning districts. The applicant has requested initial zoning designations of PRD-5 (Planned Residential Development - 5 units per acre), RM-8 (Residential Medium Density - 8 units per acre), OS (Open Space) and SAD (Special Activity District). These zoning designations are consistent with the proposed land use designations. Service and Concurrency Implicat~ons: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, level of service assessments, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The proposed land use designations are the same or less intense (Transitional versus Commercial Core and Low Density versus Medium Density) as those previously considered. Thus, the act of officially adopting the City's "Advisory" Land Use designations has no negative impact with respect to general notions of service delivery and concurrency. However, as the FLUM change is technically from MR-5 (County) to the City Advisory designations of LD, MD, OS, and Transitional the difference in intensity with respect to traffic impact must be assessed. The maximum development potential under the current MR-5 FLUM designation would be 470 single family units generating 4,700 daily trips. The maximum development potential under the City's advisory land use designations of LD (52 acres), MD (29 acres) OP (4 acres), and T (10 acres) will be 258 single family, 348 multi-family, and 108,900 sq.ft, of commercial use generating a total of 9,350 daily trips. The difference is an additional 4,650 daily trips. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 5 A traffic study has been submitted based on a development maximum of 200 single family, 350 multi-family, and 108,900 sq.ft, of commercial. The traffic study notes that both Linton Boulevard and Military Trail currently fail level of service D for average daily traffic. An alternative test 1 analysis was conducted on both roadways and each passes though the end of 1996 (build out of residential components). In 1997 Military Trail will fail concurrency (including alternative Test 1) and require six laning, before additional development can occur. The six laning of Military Trail is a County scheduled improvement for Fiscal Year 1996/97. While Linton Boulevard passed traffic concurrency the portion between 1-95 east to Waterford Place also failed the more detailed test (alternative Test 1). An additional analysis was undertaken for this intersection which estimated a reduced impact based upon traffic diversion with the opening of the Congress Avenue/I-95 interchange. When the resulting reduced traffic volumes were utilized the Linton Boulevard and 1-95 intersection also passed the alternative test. It is noted that the project passes this alternative test based upon assumptions which may not be supported when actual traffic counts for the Congress Avenue/I-95 interchange are available. If the assumptions are incorrect a restriction or reduction of buildable units may result. It is further noted that Palm Beach County does not consider a FLUM amendment a development order, therefore traffic concurrency must again be demonstrated during site plan approval process. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic study and has tentatively accepted the conclusions within that report. A development of this size requires an additional review procedure with the County (Model Test Run). Upon completion of this procedure acceptance of the traffic report is anticipated. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed distribution of the residential land use designations maximizes compatibility with adjacent land use designations. The LD (Low Density residential) is proposed along the south and west borders adjacent the Low Density land use designations of Foxe Chase to the east and Del Aire to the south. The majority of the MD (Medium Density Residential) Land Use designation is proposed along Linton Boulevard and adjacent to the proposed "Transitional" land use designation. The "Transitional" component which is noted internal to the site as "Commercial Core" in the existing City advisory designations is proposed for relocation to Linton Boulevard. The applicant has indicated the relocation of the commercial component is to accommodate the existing Bloods packing house and to establish up to an additional 83,900 sq.ft, of accessory commercial uses. The additional uses are primarily intended to accentuate the existing shipping and parking Orange Grove operation. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 6 ~, PRD Component: While the proposed residential land use designations are compatible with the adjacent and surrounding land use designations this compatibility does not relate to any specific development proposals. The proposed zoning classification of PRD requires approval through the Master Development Plan process. With the processing of the Master Development Plan compatibility with respect to size of lots and residential structures etc. will be addressed in detail. Open Space Component: Within the Bloods property a 4 acre Hammock community exists with an advisory designation of Open Space. The surrounding residential areas will have a Low Density land use designation and PRD zoning designation. The 4 acre Open Space area will be located entirely within the PRD itself. In order to ensure its preservation the area will be given Open Space land use and zoning designations. However, given its location the PRD, it is appropriate that it be counted toward meeting the required PRD open space component (15% of gross area or 7.8 acres) required by Section 4.4.7(F)(2)(b). Transitional Component: As the commercial is no longer completely interior to the site, the applicant has proposed to change the "Commercial Core" designation to "Transitional" and accommodate neighborhood type commercial uses in addition to the existing packing house. As the uses are a combination of agricultural and commercial and cannot be accommodated under a conventional zoning district a SAD zoning designation is proposed. The proposed SAD zoning requires concurrent processing of site development plans, including a specific list of uses which can only be modified by amending the SAD Ordinance. This list is anticipated to allow office and commercial uses that are less intense than those permitted under zoning districts consistent under a Commercial Core designation. This alternative designation of Transitional along with the SAD zoning will help ensure that the commercial uses are neighborhood oriented. With the processing of the site development plans compatibility with respect to intensity of the commercial, landscape buffers etc. will be addressed. Implementation and Direction of the Comprehensive Plan: TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: C%t¥ Collector Aliqnment: Within the Comprehensive Plan's Traffic Element a future City Collector Road is indicated. The road proposes to connect Linton Boulevard to Military Trail across the Bloods property and the adjacent Taheri property. The existing alignment notes the City collector south from Linton Boulevard along the western edge of Bloods' property to P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 7 approximately the center of the Taheri property. At this point the roadway proceeds westward across the Taheri property to Military Trail. With the development of the Taheri property and the concept proposal accompanying this land use amendment elimination of this collector is contemplated. In traffic studies submitted by the applicant and supported by the City's traffic consultant it has been demonstrated that while a collector is desirable it is not vital to the function of the Military Trail/Linton Boulevard intersection. Therefore, the primary function of this roadway is to provide the ability for each community (Taheri & Bloods) to access Linton Boulevard, Military Trail and the school site internally. The concept plan which is accompanying this Land Use Amendment provides for the desired connection. A combination public and private gated roadway is proposed between the developments. The applicant has indicated that future residents of the Taheri property will have access to the private roadway through the gatehouse. Residents within Bloods would have access to both Linton Boulevard and Military Trail via their private roadway and the public portion of the roadway. As no development proposal is eminent for Bloods the ability to provide this connection must be maintained and required of future development. It is recommended that prior to removing the City Collector from the Future Land Use Map a developers agreement be executed and recorded between Bloods and the City requiring the desired connection. Germantown Roadway Aliqnment: During the processing of the FLUM amendment for the school and park site a realignment of Germantown Road was proposed. The realignment extended Germantown Road west through the Bloods site and then north to Linton Boulevard opposite Palm Forest Way in Shadywoods. The temporary bus access for the school and access for the park is proposed from the western extension of Germantown Road where it proceeds north to intersect with Linton Boulevard. The temporary access (section north from Germantown Road to Linton Boulevard) was to be removed with development of the permanent alignment. The existing traffic light at the temporary access was then to be moved to the permanent alignment (Palm Forest way and Linton Boulevard). With the relocation of the commercial operation to Linton Boulevard the extension of Germantown Road to the proposed spine road (permanent alignment) is not provided. The applicant has indicated that the reason for the elimination of the connection is to preserve the vegetation and ambience at the entrance to Blood's Grove operation. Under the current proposal the temporary access would become permanent and serve the school, park, and 10 acre commercial property. The proposed spine road at Linton Boulevard and Palm Forest Way will provide access to future residential development within Bloods Grove and access to the school and commercial area. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 8 The elimination of the Germantown Road extension provides serious concerns with respect to traffic circulation patterns. If the future central spine road requires signalization the existing signal serving Germantown Road would be relocated. Staff members of the County Traffic Division have stated that the minimum spacing between signals is 1,000'. The 2 proposed intersections will be approximately 550' apart. The Traffic Division indicated the existing traffic light would stay at the Germantown Road/Linton Boulevard intersection until the traffic volume at the spine road (Palm Forest Way/Linton Boulevard intersection) warrants signalization. At that point the existing light would most likely be relocated. The signal relocation would leave traffic from Germantown Road, the school site, park and Bloods commercial operation intersecting Linton Boulevard at a non signalized intersection. The original proposal and alignment would have all traffic intersecting Linton Boulevard at the signalized intersection at Linton Boulevard and Palm Forest Way. City staff is working with Palm Beach County to limit signalization at the central spine road to a signal which would operate during school hours only. If successful the need for the east/west roadway extension across the commercial tract to the spine road is diminished. However, as this situation is yet to be resolved the potential to accommodate the connection must be made. The east/west alignment is to be noted on the Master Plan as a roadway reservation and the SAD plan should accommodate it with respect to commercial phasing and appropriate buffering. REVIEW BY OTHERS: The land use amendment request is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board), DDA ( Downtown Development Authority), or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Courtesy notices were sent to: * Palm Beach County Planning * City of Boca Raton * Helen Coopersmith (PROD) * Erminio P. Guiliano (Foxe Chase) * Del Aire Subdivision * Shadywoods Homeowners Association. * Spanish Wells Condo Association * Gretchen Bacon, Oakmont Residential Assoc. * Lillian Feldman, United Property Owners Assoc. P&Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for Bloods Page 9 ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSIONS: The proposed Land Use designation and related initial zoning designation allow a maximum development potential of 496 residential units. This intensity is significantly less than would be allowed under the existing Advisory Land Use designations which would accommodate up to 680 residential units. This reduced intensity enhances the compatibility of the development with adjacent communities particularly the Del Aire and Fox Chase subdivisions. The proposed FLUM amendment generates concerns which relate to the relocation of the commercial uses. These include: Control of Potential Commercial Uses: The proposed amendment represents a change from the advisory land use designation of Commercial Core to Transitional. The amendment further proposed a relocation of the 10 acres from the center of the site to Linton Boulevard. The original intent of the Commercial Core designation was to primarily serve the commercial needs of the surrounding subdivision. The proposed relocation and accommodation of the existing Bloods operation differs in some respects from the that intent. However, under a Transitional land use designation the current and proposed uses are consistent with uses allowed under consistent zoning designations. The application of a Transitional land use designation and an SAD zoning designation will provide some limitations on the level and intensity of future uses. Alignment of Germantown Road: With the negotiations of the school site and park site the extension of Germantown Road was proposed. With the relocation of the commercial component the applicant has proposed elimination of a portion of the alignment to maintain the ambience of the existing entry. The elimination of the extension may negatively effect signalization of related intersections with Linton Boulevard. Accommodation of this extension via a road reservation must be provided. The next steps in the development process will be annexation and initial zoning of the property. The proposed zoning designation of SAD will also require concurrent submittal of a site plan. Some of the issues identified in this report i.e. Germantown Road alignment; and compatibility of site specific plans with adjacent existing land use types are to be resolved at this stage.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a City initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment which includes the following components: * Changing the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Low Density (up to 5 units per acre) for approximately 118.35 acres in the northwest corner of the City. * Changing the City advisory land use designation from Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres) to Transitional for 3.51 acres in the northwest corner of the City (Delray Storage site). These changes are to achieve consistency with the existing County Land Use Plan designations of MR-5 (Medium Density Residential - 5 units per acres) and CH-O (Commercial High Office). Such consistency is directed by Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.3a. BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in November, 1989, "advisory" land use designations were applied to all areas which were outside the City limits but within the City's Planning Area. The portion of the City that is the subject of this amendment was given a Rural Residential advisory land use designation. The County Land Use designations for the properties is currently MR-5 (Medium Density Residential - 5 units per acre) and CH-O (Commercial High Office with a residential equivalent of 8 units per acre). The Land Use designations between the City and the County FLUMs within the City's Planning Area were to be made consistent and/or compatible with the adoption for each plan. A program for achieving consistency was worked out with assistance from the Palm Beach County-wide Planning Council in 1989. The program involved changes to the land use categories to be adopted by the County as they prepared their FLUM (Future Land Use Map). Unfortunately, the degree of desired consistency did not occur. In June, 1993, the City attempted to enter into an Extra- territorial Powers agreement with the County which would have given the City Land Use authority in the City's Planning area. Under this agreement the City's Future Land Use designations would have applied within the unincorporated portions of the Planning area thereby eliminating conflicts. The Extra- territorial Powers Agreement was opposed by affected residents and property owners and was not approved by the Board of County Commissioners. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 2 In the continuing effort to achieve consistency in 1994, the City Commission formally requested that the Board of County Commissioners direct its Planning Department to initiate changes to the County FLUM to eliminate conflicts. County and City staff met in April, 1994 to discuss the inconsistencies. As a result of that meeting the County initiated nine changes as part of their 94-2 FLUM amendment and the City initiated one change as a small scale amendment. For the most part, these changes were for parcels which had commercial potential in the County but were inconsistent with the non-commercial City Land Use designations. On the same agenda a private petition was also considered for the Delra¥ Storage site from County MR-5 to GC (General Commercial). The City objected to this amendment as it was inconsistent with the Transitional (front half) and Rural Residential (rear half) City advisory land use designations. The County eventually approved a CH-O (Commercial High Office) designation for the property. The CH-O is consistent with the Transitional land use designation but inconsistent with the Rural Residential land use designation. The portion of this amendment relating to Rural Residential to Transitional will achieve consistency with the County CH-O land use designation. The balance of the amendment from Rural Residential to LD (Low Density) will achieve consistency with the long standing MR-5 County designation. A private land owner within this area (Mrs. Bennett.- 35 acres) has expressed concern with the inconsistences between the FLUMs as it relates to the future development potential of her property (see attached letter). Any future development of her property would involve the extension of water and sewer service from the City, requiring either annexation of the property or execution of a water service agreement. Under either scenario compliance with City LDRs and Comprehensive Plan (Rural Residential) would be required. Development of 1 unit per 3 acres is significantly less than her current development potential of 5 units per acre under the County designation. Staff responded (see attached letter) that we would be seeking consistency between the designations during this Amendment 95-1. On February 28, 1995 the City Commission initiated these changes as part of FLUM amendment 95-1, in the continuing process to attain the desired consistency. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The land under consideration is made up of 31 parcels ranging from 35.78 acres to .25 acres in size. The parcels are developed with a combination of nurseries, farms, single family homes and a commercial storage facility. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 3 There is no development proposal accompanying the action as its purpose is to achieve consistency between the FLUM plans thereby avoiding further problems when future annexation and development are proposed. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS: Current Land Use Desiqnations: The current County Land Use designation for the property is a combination of MR-5 (Medium Residential-5 units per acre) for 118.35 acres and CH-O (Commercial High Office) for 3.51 acres (Delray Storage Facility). The City's current advisory land use designation for this properties is Rural Residential (1 unit per 3 acres). Proposed Land Use Designations: The proposed Land Use changes are from the City Advisory Land Use designations of Rural Residential to City Advisory Low Density (5 units per acre) for 118.35 acres and Transitional for 3.51 acres (Delray Storage Facility). Adjacent Land Use Map Designations & Land Use: FLUM Designations: City County Subject Properties: Rural Residential MR-5 (1 unit per 3 acres) Medium Density (5 units per ac) & CH-O Commercial High Office Adjacent Properties: North NA MR-5 & LR-3 East Low Res (1-5 du) & MR-5 Res Medium Density (5-12 du) South Med Density (5-12) & N/A Transitional West Transitional CH-O ( Commercial High Office) MR-5 Res & Institutional P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 4 Actual Land Use: Adjacent Properties: North Single family residences and nurseries East Vacant Phase 4 Sabal Lakes, New Paths Treatment Center, 3 single family homes South Country Manor Condominiums and a portion of the Delray Storage Facility West Delray Gardens Estates subdivision Allowable Land Uses: Under the proposed residential FLUM designation of Low Density Residential, residential zoning districts which accommodate single family development are allowed. The Transitional land use designation will be applied to the existing Delray Storage, and is consistent with residential zonings SF through RM, office zoning of POD, POC, commercial designation of NC and Mobile Home zoning districts. Proposed future modifications to the Mobile Home zoning district regulations may allow RV storage and sales. If these modifications are approved the existing use would become conforming. Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The proposed land use designation change represents an increase in residential intensity from a maximum of 40 units to 591 units (difference of 551 residential units). The 3.51 acres of Transitional would allow additional residential, office, or neighborhood commercial uses. With respect to impact on services, except traffic, development of the Transitional land use with Medium Density Residential uses (42 additional residential units) would create the greatest impact. Therefore, this amendment's impact on services will consider the entire 121.86 acres as residential land use. Provision of Sewer Service: The City's Comprehensive Plan allocates 115 gallons per day per person. The additional 593 units is anticipated to add 999 persons (593 x 2.19 x 77%) to the overall city population. This will increase the needed sewer service capacity an additional 114,997 gallons per day. The City's share of capacity at the Wastewater Treatment Plant is 12 MGD (million gallons per day). At the current rate of buildout existing buildout the City is anticipated to utilize 9.05 MGD of that capacity. With the projected increase of 114,997 gallons a day this will increase to 9.16 MGD, thus adequate capacity will exist. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 5 Provision of Water Service: The City's Comprehensive Plan allocates 195 gallons per day per person, and 263 gallons (peak demand) per day per person. The additional 593 units is anticipated to add 999 persons (593 x 2.19 x 77%) to the overall city population. This will increase the needed water service capacity an additional 194,805 gallons per day, 262,737 peak demand. The City's water treatment plant has a design capacity of 27.2 MGD. At the current rate of buildout (year 2000) the City is anticipated to require 14.5 MGD, 21.9 peak demand. With the projected increase of 194,805 gallons per day, 262,737 peak demand this will increase to 14.8 MGD, 22.2 peak demand, thus adequate capacity will still exist. Drainaqe: The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is one of the entities having operational responsibility for management of drainage. Others include the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) and the City itself. The SFWDD and LWDD facilities are all designed to accommodate an area greater than the City and its planning area. Remaining development will not have a significant impact upon those agency's existing facilities. Furthermore, all new development must be permitted through SFWMD and LWDD, and demonstrate the ability to accommodate a portion of there own drainage. Traffic: The intensification of the Land Use designation will create an increase in development traffic. Under the current land use designation of Rural Residential (121.86 acres) a maximum of 40 single family units could be constructed generating a total of 400 daily trips. The maximum traffic impact for the proposed amendment would result from low density residential (118.35 acres), office and commercial development (3.51 acres). This maximum potential is 591 single family units, 21,780 sq.ft, of commercial and 19,732 sq.ft, of office. The combination of uses would generate a total of 7,157 daily trips, a difference of 6,757 daily trips. Military Trail adjacent to the site is a 6 lane facility and has sufficient available capacity to accommodate the increased traffic generation. Open Space and Recreation: Excluding resource based activities and facilities such as the beach, the municipal golf course, and Lake Ida Park there are presently 137 acres (including new northwest park) dedicated to activity based recreation in the City. In addition to this acreage, there are facilities provided by the School District, private golf courses, and numerous facilities provided through private homeowners associations. The resource based facilities include the beach (1 1/4 miles which is publicly owned), beach parking and access facilities, Lake Ida, the Intracoastal Waterway, and conservation parcels located along the Waterway and elsewhere in the City. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 6 The amount of land associated with both the activity based and resource based facilities provides a level of approximately eight (8) acres per 1,000 residents. This number far exceeds the 3 acres per 1,000 residents level of service established by the 1986 Citizen's Policy Guide to the Land Use Element. The addition of 1,041 new residents will have little effect on the existing level of service. Solid Waste: The solid waste assessments are done on a county wide basis. The City's planning area has been previously assessed by Solid waste based upon the existing County Land use designation of MR-5 (5 units per acre). This designation is similar to the LD (Low Density) City designation proposed for 118.35 acres. The 3.51 acres will represent a potential increase for MR-5 to up to 12 units per acre under Medium Density or 24 additional units. At the projected .8 tons per unit/per year this would result in a potential increase of 19.2 tons per year. This additional amount can be accommodated by the current facilities. It is further noted that an increase is unlikely as the amendment is being processed to accommodate the existing storage facility which would created less waste than the existing County MR-5 designation. Land Use Compatibility: The application of Low Density Residential Land Use Designation is consistent and compatible with surrounding residential uses and intensities. It is noted that 5 of the parcels contain single family homes on 5 or more acres. These homeowners were instrumental in having the Rural Residential designation applied to this area with the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in 1989. While it is not clear how these residents feel about this amendment other areas included in the amendment are more appropriately given a Low Density designation. All property owners effected by this change will receive notice and will have an opportunity to address the Board on this issue. If certain owners object to the amendment it may be appropriate to exclude certain parcels leaving them Rural Residential and request that the County modify their land use designation to achieve the desired consistency. While the residential Land Use designations are compatible with the adjacent and surrounding land use designations this compatibility does not relate to any specific development proposals. At this time the change reflexes only a change from one City advisory designation to another City advisory designation. Finding of specific development compatibility will be made upon annexation, initial zoning designation and official adoption of a City land use designations. P & Z Staff Report Future Land Use Map Amendment for the Northwest Area Page 7 Implementation and Direction of the Comprehensive Plan: Land Use Element: Policy B-3.3a The City has petitioned Palm Beach County to make changes to its Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in order for there to be consistency between the City and County FLUM designations within the Delray Beach Planning and Service Area. Once consistency is achieved, the City shall petition for an interlocal agreement wherein provisions shall be made that the City's FLUM designation shall be in effect immediately upon annexation of a specific parcel. Following any annexation, the Future Land Use Map, and appropriate portions of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be amended to reflect the change in the City's boundary. While this policy makes reference to specific petitions submitted, i.e. commercial parcels included as part of 94-2 it also refers to the on going process to achieve consistency between the FLUMs. Changes to additional parcels will be for the Board in subsequent FLUM amendments until total consistency has been achieved. At that Point an interlocal agreement will be drafted and entered into by the City Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. REVIEW BY OTHERS: The land use amendment request is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board), DDA ( Downtown Development Authority), or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) . Courtesy notices were sent to: * Palm Beach County Planning * Helen Coopersmith (PROD) * Lillian Feldman, United Property Owners Assoc. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSIONS: The proposed amendments are part of the on-going process to achieve consistency between the City and County FLUMs. This consistency is mandated by Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.3a. If residents of some of the effected property, i.e. residential parcels of 5 acres or more, object to the change in land use designations the Board could consider leaving some parcels Rural Residential and seeking modifications to the existing County land use designations.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: By motion: Recommend approval of the FLUM designation change from City Advisory designation of Rural Residential to City advisory designation of LD (Low Density) for approximately 118.35 acres and Transitional for approximately 3.51 acres. ~':BENNETT.DOC Landscape Architects/Planners 1551 Forum Place Suite 100A West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 August 3, 1994 Ms. Diane Dominguez, A.I.C.P.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a City initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation from the Marina Cay property. The subject property is located on the east side of North Federal Highway, approximately 2,900 feet south of Gulfstream Boulevard, immediately south of the Delray Swap Shop. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposal is to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay designation that currently applies to the overall 11.11 acre parcel. The designation was applied in order to accommodate the mixed use development known as Marina Cay. The underlying land use designation of the property is and will remain Medium Density Residential (5-12 dwelling units per acre). BACKGROUND: With the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in 1989, the property was designated as MediUm Density Residential with a Large Scale Mixed Use overlay designation. In addition to the above designations, the property was to include a 2 acre General Commercial component which was not applied to the Future Land Use Map. On October 8, 1991, the City Commission approved a corrective Future Land Use Map amendment to apply the 2 acre commercial component on the property. The 2 acre commercial component was applied as a "floating" designation which had no specific location. On August 27, 1989, the City Commission approved a rezoning request to SAD (Special Activities District) together with a conditional use and site plan to accommodate a large scale mixed use development to be known as Marina Cay. The development proposal consisted of 102 multiple family units, a 62 slip marina, 65,500 sq.ft, of retail/office/restaurant use, and private recreation facilities including a health club. Subsequent extensions to the approval were granted, but the project was never built. On February 21, 1995, the City Commission approved a request to rezone the overall 11.11 acre parcel from SAD (Special Activities District) to RM (Medium Density Residential) in conjunction with a request for a Future Land Use Map amendment to change the 2 acre General Commercial component of the property to Medium Density Residential. The rezoning to RM repealed the SAD ordinance for the Marina Cay development. At that time, it was identified that the existing Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation would be removed in conjunction with the City's annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1. P & Z Staff Report FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation from Marina Cay site Page 2 LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT ANALYSIS .' Future Land Use Map Consistency: Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 3.1.1 (A) (Future Land Use Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map. Pursuant to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, land which has a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner, however it may develop pursuant to the underlying (or base) land use designation. A Large Scale Mixed Use development shall occur only through the application of Special Activities District (SAD) zoning. As the property was recently rezoned from SAD to RM, it is appropriate to remove the overlay designation. After removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay category, the property will have Medium Density Residential land use and RM ( Medium Density Residential ) zoning designations. While a development proposal has not been submitted, multiple-family development is anticipated. Medium Density residential uses are allowed under the proposed Land Use and Zoning designations as permitted uses. Adjacent Zoning Desiqnations & Land Uses: North of the subject property is zoned GC (General Commercial and Town of Gulfstream RS (Residential Single Family); west is zoned AC (Automotive Commercial); south is zoned GC, RM, and R-1-A (Single Family Residential); and, east, across the Intracoastal Waterway, is zoned Town of Gulfstream OR (Outdoor Recreation) . The existing land uses to the north are the Delray Swap Shop and a spoil area for dredging the Intracoastal Waterway [ FIND ( Florida Inland Navigational District) property]; south is Sande ' s Restaurant, a mix of single family and duplex structures, and an 8-unit multiple family structure; west is a vacant auto dealership; and east across the Intracoastal Waterway is the Gulfstream Golf Course. Land Use Compatibility: Compatibility with the adjacent residences will be enhanced through this action. The resulting Land Use and Zoning designations will allow a residential development consistent with the residences south of the property. Removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation will result in a reduction of the maximum development potential i.e. commercial and residential as identified under the description of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay in the Future Land Use Element. P & Z Staff Report FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation from Marina Cay site Page 3 Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation will result in a reduction of service demands. REVIEW BY OTHERS : The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board) or the DDA ( Downtown Development Authority). Community Redevelopment Agency At its meeting of April 13, 1995, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed and recommended approval of the land use map amendment. Special Courtesy Notice: Special notice was provided to Scott Harrington, Town Manager, Town of Gulfstream. Courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowner's and neighborhood associations: * North Federal Highway Task Team * Beach Property Owner's Association * Northeast Neighborhood * Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD) Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION: The Land Use Map Amendment removing the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The adjacent residences are predominantly multiple family in nature (i.e. duplexes, multiple-family structure). Removal of the Overlay designation is appropriate as the property was recently rezoned from SAD to RM, which has a maximum development potential of 133 residential units. Development of the property as medium density residential should be a positive, inducement to the Federal Highway Corridor and provide for stabilization of the existing neighborhood to the south. P & Z Staff Report FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation from Marina Cay site Page 4 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS : A. Continue with direction. B. Recommend approval of the Future Land Use Map Amendment to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 (Medium Residential) and HR-8 (High Residential) to City MDR (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac). The affected property is located on the north side of West Atlantic Avenue, between Barwick Road and Hamlet Drive, and contains approximately 18.10 acres. BACKGROUND: The property under consideration is an unplatted 18.10 acre parcel which is primarily vacant land with three residential structures, 2 multi-bay garages, and a man-made lake located on the southern portion of the property. Previously, the subject property included the 1.5 acre parcel at the southwest corner of the property, known as the Rod and Gun Club Restaurant. In 1983, the 1.5 acre parcel was annexed into the City with an SAD (Special Activities District) zoning designation and was subsequently converted from a sporting goods store (Rods and Guns of Delray, Inc.) to the current restaurant. With the Citywide rezoning of October 1990, the property was rezoned to POC (Planned Office Center). In 1989, with the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan the City's "advisory" land use designation of the property was changed from SF (Single Family Residential) and MF-L (Multi-Family - Low Density) to Transitional. The Transitional designation on the south 5.25 acres was inconsistent with the County's designations of C/5 (Commercial with an underlying Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac) and CH/5 (Commercial High with an underlying Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac). In 1993, the City attempted to enter into an Extra-territorial Powers agreement with the County which would have given the City Land Use authority in the City's Planning Area. Under this agreement the City's Future Land Use designations would have applied within the unincorporated portions of the Planning area thereby eliminating conflicts. The Extra-territorial Powers agreement was opposed by affected residents and property owners and was not approved by the Board of County Commissioners. In 1994, in the continuing effort to achieve consistency, the City Commission formally requested the Board of County Commissioners direct its Planning Department to initiate changes to the County FLUM to eliminate conflicts. The amendments were necessary in order to comply with their respective Comprehensive Plan policies which ensure consistency between County and City FLUM designations in the City's Planning Area. County and City staff met in April, 1994 to discuss the inconsistencies. As a result of that meeting, the County initiated nine changes as P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 2 part of their 94-2 FLUM amendment and the City initiated one change as a small scale amendment. These changes were made for parcels which had commercial potential in the County but were inconsistent with the City land use designations. One of these amendments included the south 5.25 acres of the subject property, which was amended from C/5 and CH/5 to HR-8. On February 3, 1995, an application for a Future Land Use Map amendment, Annexation and initial zoning were submitted and are now before the Board for action. This report deals with the Future Land Use Map amendment which is part of the City's annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1. The annexation and the initial zoning request are addressed in a separate staff report. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The south 5.25 acres (adjacent to Atlantic Avenue) has a County land use designation of HR-8 (High Density Residential 5-8 du/ac) and the north 12.85 acres has a land use designation of MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 3-5 du/ac). The proposal is to change the Future Land Use Map designation from County HR-8 and MR-5 to City MDR (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac). LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT ANALYSIS : Current Land Use Designations: The current County land use map designation for the property is County MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac) and County HR-8 (High Density Residential 8 du/ac ) . The current City "advisory" designation for this property is Transitional. Requested Land Use Designation: The applicant originally proposed annexation into the City with the advisory land use designation of Transitional. As the requested zoning is RM, staff suggested that the requested land use be changed to Medium Density Residential as well. The applicant revised the request accordingly to Medium Density Residential (5-12 du/ac). Land Use Analysis: Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 3.1.1 (A) (Future Land Use Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map. The accompanying annexation and initial zoning application is seeking a RM (Medium Density Residential) zoning district. The proposed use (residential development) is allowed as a permitted use within the RM zoning district. The Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac land use designation is also consistent with the proposed RM zoning designation. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 3 Adjacent Land Use Map Desiqnations~ Zoninq Desiqnations & Land Uses: North: The property to the north of the subject parcel, across the L-33 Canal, has a County land use map designation of LR-1 and is zoned RS (Single Family Residential). The existing land use is a 51 unit single family subdivision known as Kingsland, with a density of 1 unit per acre. South: The abutting property to the south has a City Future Land Use Map designation of Transitional and is zoned POC (Planned Office Center). The existing use of the property is the Rod & Gun Restaurant. South of West Atlantic Avenue is a combination of City Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac, and Recreation and Open Space land use designations with zoning designations of R-lA (Single Family Residential) and OSR (Open Space and Recreational), respectively. The existing use of the property is a planned residential development known as The Hamlet, a country club community with a density of 1 unit per acre. East: The properties to the east have a City Future Land Use Map designation of Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac with a PRD (Planned Residential Development) zoning designation. The existing use of the property is a lll-unit single family subdivision known as Windy Creek/Hanover Square, with a density of 4.5 units.per acre. In addition, abutting the southeast portion of the subject property is a vacant unincorporated parcel (1.44 acres) having a County FLUM designation of CH/5 (Commercial High with an underlying Medium Density Residential 5 du/ac) with an AR (Agricultural Residential) zoning designation. West: West of the subject property has a Community Facilities land use designation with a City CF (Community Facilities) zoning designation. The use of the property is Carver Middle School with a gopher tortoise preserve abutting a majority of the subject property's west property line. Allowable Land Uses: Under the proposed Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac FLUM designation, residential zoning districts which accommodate single family and multiple family units are allowed (R-1-A thru R-l-AAA, RL, PRD, and RM). The applicant has requested an initial zoning designation of RM (Medium Density Residential 6-12 du/ac). This zoning designation is consistent with the proposed land use designation. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 4 Land Use Compatibility: The application of Medium Density Residential FLUM designation allowing 5-12 units per acre may be compatible with adjacent land use designations. Compatibility with the adjacent residential developments is a concern at the higher density range of the designation. The residential developments to the north and south are developed at 1 unit per acre and the abutting residential development to the east has a density of 4.7 units per acre. The following are the densities of the surrounding residential developments within a 2,000 foot radius of the subject property: Subdivision units/acre High Point 8.0 du~ac Homewood Lakes 6.0 du/ac Sherwood Forest 3.0 du/ac Highland Trailer Park 7.7 du/ac Sunset Pines 7.6 du/ac Franwood Pines 3.0 du/ac Kingsland Pines 3.0 du/ac Any future development of the property should be consistent with the densities of the surrounding residential developments. The maximum density allowed under the proposed City MDR land use designation is 12 units per acre or 217 units (18.10 ac X 12 u/a). The current development potential of the property under the County's land use designations (MR-5 and HR-8) is 82 units or 4.5 units per acre. Under the County's land use designations, properties which contain 20 acres, and are developed as a PUD, may be developed at the maximum density of the underlying land use. However, if the property does not contain 20 acres and is not developed as a PUD, the maximum density allowed under the MR-5 is 4 units per acre, and under the HR-8 is 6 units per acre. Site specific compatibility of future development with the adjacent residential developments will be addressed at the time of site development plan review. As the proposed City RM zoning has a range of 6-12 units per acre, it may be appropriate to limit the upward range in density to densities similar to that of the surrounding communities described above. As the property is adjacent to a middle school on one side, and abuts an existing restaurant, a density in the range of 8 units per acre (as opposed to a lower density) is probably more realistic. A suffix of 8 units per acre would limit development to a maximum of 144 units. Service and Concurrency Implications: In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use pattern, assessment of level of service, the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. P & Z Staff Report Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 5 The proposed land use designation is the same or less intense (Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac versus Transitional) as those previously considered. Thus, the act of officially applying the City' s Medium Density Residential land use designation has no impact with respect to general notions of service delivery. However, as the FLUM change is technically from County MR-5 and HR-8 to the City designation of Medium Density Residential 5-12 u/a the difference in intensity with respect to traffic impact must be assessed. The maximum development potential under the current MR-5 and HR-8 FLUM designations would be 82 single family units generating 820 daily trips. Pursuant to the traffic study submitted with the application, the maximum development potential under the City's MDR will be 214 single family units generating a total of 2,140 daily trips. Thus, the difference is an additional 1,320 daily trips. Atlantic Avenue has recently been six-laned in this area and has sufficient capacity to meet concurrency. The traffic study shows peak hour traffic numbers which would require off-site improvements which include the need to install a left turn lane on the eastbound Atlantic Avenue as well as a right turn lane on westbound Atlantic Avenue. However, with the six laning of Atlantic Avenue along the frontage of this property, a left turn lane on eastbound Atlantic Avenue was installed at the Hamlet Drive intersection. With the submittal of a specific development proposal, roadway improvements will be further reviewed. REVIEW BY OTHERS : The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the CRA ( Community Redevelopment Agency), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB (Historic Preservation Board) . Palm Beach County Notice: On February 28, 1995 the Palm Beach County Planning Division was notified of the City's intent to annex this property. To date, a response has not been received. IPARC Notice: Notice of the Land Use Map Amendment was also provided to the Interlocal Plan Amendment Review Committee ( IPARC ) which distributes the information to adjacent municipalities. To date, a response has not been received. P & Z Staff Report ~Jones Property - Future Land Use Map Amendment Page 6 Courtesy Notice: Courtesy notices were sent to the following homeowners associations and civic associations: * Greensward Village Condominium Association (within The Hamlet development) * Hamlet Residents Association * Hanover Square Homeowners Association * High Point Condominium Association * Highland Trailer Park * PROD (Progressive Residents of Delray) * Windy Creek Homeowners Association * Woodlake Homeowners Association * United Property Owners Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to all property owners within a 500 foot radius of the subject property. Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION: The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 and HR-8 to City Medium Density Residential 5-12 du/ac for this property is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The change is to a designation allowing a range of similar intensity as currently allowed under the County land use designations. The request is less intense than that contemplated under the current City "advisory" Transitional designation. It is noted that with the change from County MR-5 and HR-8 to City MDR an increase of 135 residential units is possible. The potential increase is a function of the County requirements of a 20 acre minimum land area under PRD to qualify for 5 versus 4 units per acre under the MR-5 designation and 8 versus 6 units per acre under the HR-8. Given the surrounding densities, it is recommended that a RM-8 suffix be applied with associated initial zoning. Site specific compatibility of future development under this suffix with the adjacent residential developments will be addressed at the time of site development plan review. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS : A. Continue with direction. B. Recommend approval of the Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 and HR-8 to City MDR based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
