Ti~e action before the Board is making a recommendation on a rezoning request from R-lA (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities). The subject property is located west of N.W. 3rd Avenue, on the south side of N.W. 3rd Street and contains approximately 1.52 acres. Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. Currently, the subject property is vacant and involves a portion of the east one half of Block 34. Block 34 was originally platted in 1896 as part of the Town of Linton Plat. No other development activity has occurred on the property. The development proposal is to rezone a vacant parcel of land from R-1-A to CF. The rezoning is being requested by the Seventh-Day Adventists church to accommodate a private school as an accessory use to the church. The school currently operates within the existing church facility which they have out grown. The anticipated enrollment of the school is 250 students, and will service kindergarten through 12th grade. The applicant has submitted a sketch plan which provides for an 18,961 square foot structure, a drop-off area, and playground areas. Only one parking space has been provided on site. The church has indicated that they wish to utilize their existing parking lot across the street to meet on-site parking requirements. REQUIRED FINDINGS: {Chapter 3): pUrsuant to Section 3.1.1 {Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 2 through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areas. Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The current Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Low Density Residential. The requested zoning change is from R-1-A to CF. The proposed zoning designation of CF is consistent with the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Map designation. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. Streets and Traffic: A traffic impact study was not submitted with the request. The current R-1-A zoning designation generally permits only single family dwellings at a maximum density of 5 units per acre. The Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standard Ordinance establishes traffic generation rates of 10 ADT per unit for single family residences. With R-1-A zoning and a density of 5 units per acre (7 units) would generate 70 ADT. The ultimate development potential of the site to accommodate a school with 250 students will result in 748 ADT (2.99 trips per student x 250 students = 748). Thus, there is a net potential increase of 678 ADT from the proposed rezoning. The 678 net trips which could be generated by the development under the CF district may impact Lake Ida Road which is currently over capacity. It is noted however, that the contract for widening Lake Ida Road should occur within the next several months. Provision of a traffic study will be required with the site plan, and positive findings of concurrency will be required with the approval of that plan. Water and Sewer: Preliminary engineering plans were not submitted with the application. Water service is available to the site via an 8" main located along the south side of N.W. 3rd Avenue. Sewer service is available to the site via a 6" main which P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 3 dead-ends approximately 160' north of the intersection of N.W. 3rd Avenue and N:W. 2nd Street. Upgrading of the 6" main to an 8" main may be required with this development proposal and can be further addressed with the site plan process. The rezoning from R-1-A to CF will generate an increase in water and sewer demands, however, there is adequate capacity at the existing facilities to handle the water and sewage demands generated from this development. Parks and Recreation: Parks and Recreation dedications do not apply to non-residential developments. Solid Waste: The proposed 18,961 square foot school will generate 101 tons of solid waste per year. Seven single family homes would generate 13.93 tons of solid waste per year. While there is a net increase in solid waste generation, the Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments until 2021. Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. Parcels adjacent to and near the subject parcel are primarily residential. This school represents an expansion of an existing use, which has not experienced any compatibility problems to date. Churches and their accessory uses (schools) are allowed as a Conditional Use in the current R-lA zoning district. However, the scale of the proposed school makes the CF district, which provides for greater setbacks and buffering, more P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 4 appropriate for the property. The setback and buffering requirements of the CF district will ensure compatibility. The church owns the east one half of Block $4, and is surrounded on the north, south and east by rights- of-ways. To the west, the proposed school will abut single family homes. Given the size of the school it would be appropriate that a wall be provided along the western properly line for additional buffering. This item can further be addressed with the approval of the site plan. Section 2.4.5(D){5) ~Rezonin~ Findings): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; : b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The applicant submitted a justification statement as a part of the rezoning application. The statement indicates that the applicable reason is "c". The justification statement is summarized below. The CF district is a special purpose district which is intended to permit uses which serve public or semi-public purposes. The CF district is deemed to be appropriate in any Future Land Use category. The proposed school as an accessory use to the church and are allowed as conditional uses in the R-1 districts and can, therefore considered to be of a similar intensity. The development proposal may be more appropriate than single family homes, as the school will provide an educational facility Servicing the surrounding neighborhoods. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and no applicable policies were found. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-I-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 5 Compliance with Land Development Requlations: The proposed use is to be in compliance with the Land Development Regulations. Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development application/request. The applicant has submitted a sketch plan. While the submitted sketch plan is not being formally considered at this time, the following comments are provided. LDR Section 4,3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: Sufficient information was not provided on the sketch plan to fully address all of these standards. However, it appears that proposal will meet or exceed all requirements of this section. LDR Section 4.4.21(H) CF District Special Regulations: When this district (CF) is adjacent to residential zoning, the ~erimeter landscape area should be 15'; or, as an alternative, either a wall, decorative fencing, or hedging should be installed for aesthetic and buffering purposes. Residential properties are located along the western boundary of the project. The proposed service drive is within this setback, and no wall or hedges are proposed. There appears to be sufficient space on site to relocate the service drive to provide the 15' landscape setback. In addition, a wall should be provided to buffer this development from the residential uses to the west. LDR Section 4.6.9 Parking: The school is considered an accessory use to the church and does not require additional parking per code. The school will however, be located on a separate parcel of land from the church, and is separated by a street. The sketch plan indicates that only one parking space is to be provided on site, and parking for the school will be accommodated by the existing parking lot located on the church property across the street. It may be appropriate to provide additional on site parking. This item will need to be further reviewed with the site and development plan process. LDR Section 6.1.3 Sidewalks: Currently no sidewalks exist along N.W. 3rd Avenue or N.W. 3rd Street. Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3 sidewalks will be required along these rights-of- way with the development of this site. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-I-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 6 LDR Section 4.6.16 Landscaping: No landscape plan has been submitted at this time. The submission of a landscape plan meeting all requirements of Section 4.6.16 will be required with the site and development plan submission. The rezoning 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). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners 'within a 500' radius of the subject property. A special certified notice has been sent to each of the property owners of record. Courtesy notices have been sent to: Lake Ida Homeowners Association Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. The proposed rezoning of the subject property to CF accommodates a use which is a conditional use in the current R-1-A zoning district. The church is seeking to rezone the property to relocate its educational function to a larger facility. The CF zone district will require larger setbacks and buffers to the adjacent residential properties. All required public facilities and services are available to serve the proposed development. The CF zoning district is consistent with the Low Density Residential FLUM designation. Required positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (rezoning Findings), Section 3.1.1, and the performance standards of Section 3.3.2 can be made. Based on the above, the proposed rezoning of the Seventh-Day Adventists property to CF is recommended for approval. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for the Seventh Day Adventists Page 7 A. Continue with direction. B. Recommend rezoning of the subject property from R-1-A to CF, based on positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (rezoning findings), Section 3.1.1, and the performance standards of Section 3.3.2. C. Recommend denial of a rezoning, based on a failure to make positive findings. Recommend approval of the rezoning request for the Seventh-Day Adventists from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community F,acilities), based upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings) and Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) of the Land Development Regulations, policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and Section 2.4.5(D)(5).
