nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida.
Mr. Kovacs stated the consensus of the work session following
the First Reading resulted in the two exhibits before the Commission
tonight. One represents the changes to the Zoning Map. There are two
specific items that should be addressed upon the close of the Public
Hearing, in order that his draftsman can make corrections; those two
items are the Isles of Delray and the former Nissan site. The second
exhibit represents the text changes made on direction from the Commis-
sion.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch, Mr. Kovacs advised the LDR's can
be amended on a monthly basis, if necessary.
Mr. Randolph requested more information regarding Item 15, on
the list of additional items to be included in the LDR's, relating to
provisions allowing duplexes to be split into two ownerships. Mr.
Kovacs stated there is a provision in the existing Code to divide the
property under the townhouse subdivision. It will be put into the
future Code.
Ms. McCarty questioned the deletion of the S designation from
the Planned Commercial designation for Delray Town Center Phase II. Mr.
Kovacs explained that he is expecting more public comment tonight and he
feels this will be an item that will be requested to be dropped. This
refers to a special requirement that, if it is appropriate to reduce the
scale of a shopping center, an S designation can be added that will
limit the maximum size of a tenant to 20,000 square feet.
David Schmidt, 2907 S.W. 21st Terrace, stated he would like to
discuss the definition of subdivision. He is requesting that the
Commission direct Mr. Kovacs to correct the language in order to make it
more specific. Mr. Kovacs agreed with Mr. Schmidt and suggested that
the new P&Z Board review the history and possibly remove it from the
Code. Upon question, Roger Saberson advised that, some years ago the
City hired a consultant to redraft the Zoning Code and LDRs, and it was
-11 8/28/90
their definition. The Commission concurred to remove the definition
stating that "any land which is divided or proposed to be divided into
two or more lots, parcels, sites or units for lease, is a subdivision".
David Henninger, 602 Sunshine Drive, representing the Lake Ida
Property Owners Association, stated if it is not possible to get an
extension of the SAD zoning, they would request a zoning of R-1AAA, for
the Isles of Delray. The City Attorney advised this appears as an item
on the Regular Agenda and it can be voted on at that time. Discussion
followed with regard to the Isles of Delray. Upon question by Ms.
McCarty relative to granting an extension, Mr. Saberson agreed to a
re-evaluation by the newly appointed P&Z Board to ensure that they are
meeting the current standards that have been adopted, subject to Com-
mission review and subject to the idea that the plan continues and they
would continue to be concurrency exempt.
Mr. Saberson commented that he feels the extension should run
from the time they appear before the Commission, after conditions are
spelled out. Mr. Kovacs suggested that, if the Commission is going to
allow an extension, then it should be for the current project. If it
returns to the Commission, a new submission must be made.
The City Attorney advised, if the Commission plans to extend
the plan, SAD is consistent, and it is permissible to zone that property
SAD. The SAD is associated with a site plan that will expire in 18
months, if the extension is granted. It will not be possible to build
anything unless they vest within that 18 month period.
The Commission concurred to deny the extension.
Mr. Saberson requested confirmation that the property where the
Seacrest Shops is located will be zoned NC (Neighborhood Commercial).
The Commission concurred to the NC zoning with 35,000 square
feet per tenant.
Mr. Saberson commented that the SAD zoning district LDR had an
automatic reversion to prior zoning categories for any expired site plan
and conditional use and he requested clarification as to the status.
Mr. Kovacs advised it was recommended that it be deleted.
Robert Currie, 25 Seabreeze Avenue, stated the primary issue
previously discussed is how is a developer allowed to come into the City
and learn whether or not he is able to build what he wants, and is there
some sort of culpability that locks this in. The other issue is the
clarification of height when elements are present that are not livable;
and the third issue is the the manner in which the nonconformity of
RM-15 will be dealt with when the district is eliminated.
Mr. Kovacs stated the section referring to the height issue
will be rewritten with regard to towers or any free-standing item. If
this goes beyond 64 feet, it must have City Commission approval. Any
item on top of a building can go above the height limitation in that
district, with the approval of the Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board. Mr. Kovacs stated, for any building built under the RM-15
regulation, a provision was added that states, if destroyed, it can be
-12 8/28/90
rebuilt in its original configuration. His recommendation is that the
Commission not change the pattern and doctrine of nonconforming uses at
this time. The City Attorney stated the City is permitted to downzone
property and eliminating development in contravention to the RM-12
zoning district that will be in place in the future is clear. He
further stated that in order to accommodate those people who could
rebuild yesterday, but not today, is an issue that must be considered
separate and apart before a change is made.
Mr. Kovacs stated downtown there is a potential of 12 to 15
units per acre. In a mixed use building, there should be no problem at
12 units per acre as long as it is in addition to whatever retail
intensity there is. He advised not to limit or restrict density on unit
count, but have the restrictions based on height limitation, parking and
lot coverage. He recommended not making any change in the Zoning Code
at this time; at the time of construction it can be amended, and should
be done through the Comp Plan process to pull out the density limitation
as pertains to the downtown.
Mr. Kovacs stated a write up was given to Mr. Currie and Mr.
Andrews regarding the Concept Sketch Plan which explains the way it is
handled. It is basically done as a non binding item. The Sketch Plan
Review carries a $500 application fee and the Technical Advisory Commit-
tee reviews and analyzes the applicants request. It would be a
non-binding agreement.
Carolyn Young, Delray Beach, requested clarification on some of
the proposed changes with respect to the minimum square footage that is
required on parcels zoned for duplexes.
In reply to Ms. Young, Mr. Kovacs stated the Code, as currently
written, allows duplexes to be constructed on lots of record with 6,000
square feet. In order to build a duplex after the LDR's are approved
there must be 8,000 square feet. There will be no grandfather provision
and this will be effective September 6, 1990.
David Henninger, 602 Sunshine Drive, stated a recommendation
had been made to Planning and Zoning with regard to upzoning some of the
northwest section of the Isles of Delray to R-1AAA because there was
concern about some large parcels of unplatted land in the Lake Ida area.
He requested action not be taken on this issue as everyone in the
association was not notified. They would like to set a precedent for
unplotted areas and amend their request to change the boundary coming
back from N.W. llth Street, which is the northernmost boundary of the
homeowners association starting at the lake and going directly out to
N.W. 2nd Avenue, eliminating the area north of there, and changing it
from an R-1AAA to an R-1AAA-B which does not affect the house sizes, but
still maintains the integrity on the lot sizing.
It was the consensus of the Commission to agree in concept.
Kathi Sumrall, 60 Marine Way, stated she needed clarification
on some of the 67 items generated from Mr. Kovacs. She questioned what
consensus the Commission arrived at with regard to the Planning and
Zoning Board reviewing any site plans. Mayor Lynch replied they are
only reviewing the site plans on large parcels. With regard to the
-13 8/28/90
granting of relief from the number of parking spaces, she questioned if
that was shifted over to the SPRAB. Mayor Lynch replied it was. She
stated the section entitled duties of the SPRAB Board states "certain
site and development plans", and questioned if that "certain" has been
defined. In reply, Mr. Kovacs stated it has been changed. She also
stated, regarding the Board of Adjustment, it had been agreed the word
intentional" would be inserted between "the" and "actions of the land
owner". The Commission is agreeable to change the word to may, but not
put the word intentional in. Item 29 of the list contains two errors.
She stated 4.3.4.J.4.BI, A should be 9 and the page number should be .36
not .35. With regard to Item 45 on the list, she requested the Commis-
sion reconsider. This has to do with dwelling units in the same struc-
ture. On Page 4.6.9, with regard to signs, it says "72". She questioned
if that should read "72 square feet." She stated she had a real concern
on page 2 in the code where it says "as provided under subsection
whatever" and the subsection is not there.
Sid Weitz, Dockside, 1200 S. Swinton, stated Dockside was to be
changed from MI to MIC, but he didn't notice it on any of Mr. Kovacs.
papers. Mr. Kovacs stated recommendations have been accommodated. Mr.
Weitz also commented on 4.410, Automotive Commercial District, in which
there is no mention made with regard to a full service boat dealership.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, would like to see the R-1A-B
zoned Chatelaine to remain a unique zoning classification such as
R-lA-B-B, or somehow separate it from any other R-1A-B zones which may
be created.
Steven Deutsch, 110 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, stated he
is very concerned with the expansion of Lake Ida Road and the impact of
concurrency.
Paul Steele, 1121 N.W. 4th Avenue, questioned whether the
industrial along 3rd Avenue is put back in. Mr. Kovacs stated all the
areas that were GC and SC Zoning will be put back to the CBD District.
Michael Weiner, 509 Oleander Lane, representing Bill Wallace,
stated he is before the Commission to request a change in the Land Use
Map. He is requesting a zoning change to AC for blocks 7 and 8, pres-
ently zoned as GC, and noted that AC zoning has been placed on eleven
(11) of the automobile dealerships in the City. It would be arbitrary
and capricious to think that this dealer should be the only one not to
be zoned AC.
It was the consensus of the Commission (3-2 )to approve the
zoning to AC.
Steve Rubin, President of Shadywoods, stated he and the Board
of Directors have been reviewing the LDR's. As presently proposed to
the Commission the LC conversion to the PC-S in the eaternmost parcel of
Delray Town Center contains the S designation, and it is the unanimous
consensus of the Board that they do not want the S designation taken
away.
Frank Spence, Executive Director of the CRA, stated he would
like to go on record in favor of the 15 units.
-14 8/28/90
The public hearing was closed.
The LDR's will be deferred to the Special Meeting of September
5th with the probability of limited direction on what needs to be done
to establish a date for the adoption of the LDR's.

designing signs for his dealership that the general public cannot see.

aesthetically pleasing manner.

situation of Mr. Wallace having three signs on the site, pending the
moving of one of the dealerships out of that area.
