JANET MEEKS, EDUCATION COORDINATOR
MEETING OF MAY 13, 2003
EDUCATION ISSUES INCLUDING: PROPOSED BOUNDARIES FOR
ATLANTIC HIGH SCHOOL~ FUTURE MIDDLE SCHOOL DIRECTION~ AND
GENERAL BOARD DIRECTION
Discussion Regarding Boundaries:
The Advisory Boundary Committee (ABC) for Palm Beach County School District is currently
discussing new boundaries for two new high schools to be opened in 2004 and the relocation of
Atlantic High School to be opened in 2005. The two new high schools - "LLL" is located in the
southwest section of Boca Raton, and "EEE" is located in western Boynton Beach. The ABC
has been discussing 5 different boundary scenarios. At its meeting of April 24, 2003, the ABC
voted on scenario LE-5 Part A&B for community input (map and data attached). LE-5 loads
Atlantic High School in 2005 at 97% capacity with an increase to 103% in 2006.
The positive aspects of plan LE-5 is that the 14 SAC's (Study Code Area) which are located
east of 1-95 south of Atlantic Avenue that are being bused to Olympic Heights, Spanish River
and Boca Raton High Schools will be brought back to Atlantic High School. It is however noted
that not all students that reside within our municipal boundaries will be brought home. The
neighborhoods located along the southern boundary of Delray Beach (i.e. Bass Creek, Tropic
Palms, Delray Estates, Andover, Oakmont, Rabbit Hollow, DeI-Aire, etc.) will continue to be
bused to Boca Raton and Spanish River High Schools.
The negative aspect of this study is that the capacity is not evenly distributed between the
schools located in South County. In 2006, Spanish River High School will be at 77% capacity,
which will result in the decrease of teachers and resources. In addition, two of the schools
located in Boynton Beach will exceed 110% capacity as allowed by Concurrency. District staff
has requested that the ABC reconsider this boundary scenario to load Atlantic High School to
no more than 90% to allow for future program expansion. This discussion will occur at the ABC
meeting of May 8th, and any changes will be provided to the Commission at the Workshop
meeting.
At its meeting of May 5, 2003, the Education Board discussed the proposed boundaries. While
the Board agreed that the best plan was one that would bring all the "pockets" of students
home, they understood this may not be feasible due to capacity issues that creates another set
of problems. They would therefore support a plan that equalizes capacity "regionally" in order to
evenly divide the educational resources among all the schools located in South County.
Middle School Discussion:
The Education Board has had several discussions regarding their role in keeping the middle
school on track at the existing Atlantic High School site. In addition to what type of middle
school would be the most appropriate and desirable for Delray Beach. It has been suggested
that the site be constructed with a "A School within A School" concept, which would provide
capacity to reduce busing and a school of the arts or some sort of "choice school". The Board
agrees that a "grassroots" movement supporting the middle school would probably be the most
effective with the School Board.
In the Schools District's draft of their 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan, it allocates planning
dollars in 2008 for a middle school in South County, however the site has not been Identified as
of yet. It would therefore be appropriate for the Commission at this time to provide policy
direction to the Board and Staff on what type of middle school they should be advocating for and
how they wish this information to be disseminated within the Community.
General Board Direction:
Attached is a copy of the Board's Goals and Objectives and Work Program for the past year. It
is noted that the Goals and Objectives are formulated from the Duties and Responsibilities
outlined from the enacting Ordinance that established the Board in 1989. The Board reviews
these documents in the fall each year and makes adjustments as necessary. It would be
appropriate at this time for the Commission to give staff and the Board direction on issues
and/or projects that they should be focusing on for the upcoming school year.
Discuss and provide direction.

RE:
In-Lieu of Parking Program
The Parking Management Advisory Board, at their meeting of February 25, 2003
conducted a review of the in-lieu of parking program. A copy of the staff report is
attached for your review. The following recommendations are presented for your review:
1. Extending the option of entering into an In-Lieu of Parking Fee Agreement
to property owners in areas 1 and 2.
Currently, the Land Development Regulations (LDR) allows for property
owners located in areas 3 and 4 (Pineapple Grove Mainstreet/OId School
Square Historic Arts District and the West Atlantic Redevelopment
Corridor) to enter into an In-Lieu of Parking Fee Agreement which allows
payment of 50% .upon signing of the agreement and subsequent payments
of 25% on the 2n(~ and 3raanniversaries of the agreement.
In areas 1 and 2 (Central Business District between Swinton Avenue and
Ocean Boulevard) must pay in full at the time of submission of a building
permit application.
Changing the payment due schedule from at the time of submission of a
building permit application to be due upon issuance of the building permit
for those opting not to or not eligible to enter into a payment agreement
(i.e. only owners of properties rather than tenants may enter into these
agreements).
The Community Redevelopment Agency and Downtown Development Authority have
reviewed and agreed with these recommendations.

Regular Ag.e. nda Item V.A - PMAB Regular Meeting February 25, 2003
Review Portions Of The In-Lieu Of Parking Program As Requested By
City Commission
At a recent meeting, City Commission directed staff to review the In-Lieu of Parking program to address
the following:
Do the current fees assessed in Delray Beach make development cost prohibitive?
Does the requirement for payment in full in areas 1 & 2 stifle development?
Is the program still needed to achieve it's original intent to provide incentives for development?
The most recent modifications to the In-Lieu of Parking Fee regulations, Ordinance 4-99 (attached),
included the designation of zones in which various rates per space were established while reducing the
payment schedule from nine years to three years in areas 3 and 4, and requiring payment in full with the
submission of a building permit application in areas 1 and 2 (LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3)(b) and (d)). Review
of Commission Workshop tapes from January 1999 suggested the institution of a moratorium of the In-
Lieu of Parking Program in Areas 1 and 2 (CBD East of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and the CBD
from Swinton to the ICW). Payment of the fee in full was a compromise to the suggested moratorium.
Considering current economic conditions Staff feels the extension of the payment p~an to property owners
in areas 1 and 2 would be a reasonable accommodation to property owners.
The basis for the variation of the in-lieu fee relates to property values in certain geographic areas, the
cost of constructing the spaces and the need for redevelopment incentives. These fees should remain the
same.
The map created for this Board's recent review of the program shows that it is still being utilized and, to
date, disbursement of in-lieu spaces has been throughout the downtown core area.
Considering the various reasons parking must be provided (conversion of use, expansion of square
footage, new construction), the elimination of the program could stifle or have an adverse impact on
development. Additionally, through Land Development Regulations Section 4.6.9.(E)(3)(e), which requires
the construction of on-street parking spaces adjacent to developments that have sufficient right-of-way,
approximately thirty (30) parking spaces have been proposed / constructed for public utilization.
Section 4.6.9(E)(3)(d) states "For those parcels located in Area 1 or Area 2, the in-lieu fee shall be paid in
full at the time of submission of a building permit application". Consideration should be given to allow
payment to be made upon issuance of the building permit for those not opting to enter into an In-Lieu of
Parking fee Payment agreement (if approved).
By motion, recommend to the City Commission that the in-Lieu of Parking program continue,'
incorporating the extension of the payment plan option in areas 1 and 2 and payment for those not
choosing payment plans to pay at time of the issuance of the building permit.
