The subject property is a vacant unplatted parcel containing 2.067 acres. At its meeting of July 26, 1988, the City Commission approved the Land Use Plan Amendment from MF-10 to Commercial, a rezoning from RM-10 to SAD, and the associated conditional use and site plan to construct a 97-room motel on the subject property. A site plan modification was later approved administratively to reduce the motel to 90 rooms. Subsequent to the site plan approval a plat was processed, but was not recorded and the motel was never constructed. The City Commission rezoned the property from SAD to RT (Resort/Tourism) as part of the citywide rezoning that occurred in October 1990. There has been no construction activity on the property. Additional background and an analysis of the request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. At its meeting of February 25, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with the rezoning request. There were two people from the public that spoke. One person expressed a concern with respect to the traffic generation and the other person was concerned the zoning would allow objectionable uses such as cocktail lounges. After reviewing the staff report, considering the testimony, and discussing the proposal, the Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval, based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) and Section 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. By motion, approve on first reading the ordinance for a zoning designation change from RT (Resort Tourism) to PC (Planned Commercial) based on positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards), LDR Sections 2.4.5(D)(5), and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a privately sponsored rezoning from RT (Resort Tourism) to PC (Planned Commercial) for Washington Mutual, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(D). The subject property is located at the southwest corner of SE 5th Avenue (Southbound Federal Highway) and SE 10th Street. Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E)(6), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to the rezoning of any property within the City. The subject property is a vacant unplatted parcel containing 2.067 acres. In 1988, a Land Use Plan Amendment from MF-10 (Multi-Family - 10 units per acre) to C (Commercial), rezoning from RM-10 to GC (General Commercial), and an associated conditional use and site plan were processed to construct a 97-room motel on the subject property. At its meeting of June 28, 1988, the City Commission considered the FLUM amendment and rezoning. While the Planning and Zoning Board and staff supported the rezoning to GC, the City Commission rejected the rezoning to GC as there was a concern that a fast food restaurant, an allowed use in the GC zone district, could be developed on the property, which would be undesirable adjacent to the residential properties (to the north and west). Therefore, the City Commission recommended the applicant consider rezoning the property to SAD (Special Activities District) to ensure that the use of the property would be limited to a motel. At its meeting of July 26, 1988, the City Commission approved the Land Use Plan Amendment from MF-10 to Commercial, a rezoning from RM-10 to SAD, and the associated conditional use and site plan. A site plan modification was later approved administratively to reduce the motel to 90 rooms. Subsequent to the site plan approval a plat was processed, but was not recorded and the motel was never constructed. The City Commission rezoned the property from SAD to RT (Resort/Tourism) as part of the citywide rezoning that occurred in October 1990. There has been no development activity on the property. The proposal is to change the zoning designation of the property from RT to PC to establish a new financial institution with drive-through facilities for Washington Mutual and commercial space. · P & Z Board Staff Report ~ Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 2 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 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 Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. 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 subject property has a General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation and is currently zoned RT (Resort Tourism). The proposed PC (Planned Commercial) zoning is consistent with the General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. The proposed bank facility as well as the associated retail and offices are permitted uses in the PC zone district [ref. LDR Sections 4.4.12(B)(1) & 4.4.9(B)(1)-(5)]. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map. 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. Water & Sewer: El Water service is available via a service lateral connection to the existing 8" water main along SE 10w Street. El Sewer service is available via a service lateral connection to the existing 10" main along SE 5th Avenue and SE 10~ Street. The proposed development will accommodate uses of similar intensity as those allowed in the RT zoning district and will have similar water consumption and sewer generation rates. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water Treatment Plant and the South Central County Waste Water Treatment Plant for the City at build-out. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to this level of service standard. Drainaqe: With a rezoning request drainage plans are not required. The storm water retention will be reviewed during the site plan application process. There are no problems anticipated with retaining drainage on site and obtaining a South Florida Water Management District permit. · P & Z Board Staff Report ._ Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 3 Traffic: The uses allowed under the existing RT zoning include uses allowed in the PC zone district. The proposed zoning is of similar intensity, therefore a potential increase in traffic is not anticipated from the rezoning action itself. As the intensity of uses within the RT and PC zoning districts are similar, comparable traffic volumes would be generated. With the submittal of a site plan application, a traffic impact study is required. The traffic study must comply with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. There are no problems anticipated meeting traffic concurrency and the associated level of service standards. Parks and Recreation: Park and dedication requirements do not apply to nonresidential uses. Solid Waste: Trash generated each year by the proposed commercial development under the proposed PC zone district will be comparable to that generated by the uses allowed under the RT zone district. The development of the property under the PC zone district should not create an adverse impact on this level of service standard. CONSISTENCY: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.2.2 (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. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES: A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable objective is noted. Future Land Use Element Objective A-1 - Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complementary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs. Many of the uses allowed within the RT zoning district are allowed uses within the PC zoning district such as hotels, motels, and recreational uses. The proposed rezoning will allow the applicant to develop a bank and commercial tenant space on the property. The surrounding uses are single family and medical office to the north, offices to the south, retail (Walgreen's) and vacant to the east, and vacant residential property to the west. The proposed PC zoning designation is of similar intensity as the existing surrounding commercial uses. The proposed commercial designation is an appropriate zoning designation along an arterial road (Federal Highway). ' P & Z Board Staff Report .. Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 4 Compatibility with respect to adjacent residential uses can be mitigated through additional buffering, which will be addressed at the site development plan stage. Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezonin.q Actions): Standard A, B, and E are not applicable with respect to this rezoning request. The applicable performance standards of Section 3.2.2 are as follows: (c) Zoning changes that would result in strip commercial development shall be avoided. Where strip commercial developments or zoning currently exists along an arterial street, consideration should be given to increasing the depth of the commercial zoning in order to provide for better project design. The proposed PC zoning is not considered strip commercial zoning. The site contains 2.067 acres and has a depth of over 250'. The property is to be developed as a plaza with a bank facility as well as retail and office space. 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. The property is bordered by the following zoning designations and uses: Direction Zoning Uses North GC & R-1-A West RM South POC East PC Medical office & single family Vacant Professional offices Walgreen's & vacant (approved hotel) There are no major compatibility concerns with the surrounding uses to the north, south and east. The PC zoning allows uses that are similar in intensity to other uses in this section of South Federal Highway. Rezoning the site to allow for its development will enhance adjacent uses. Compatibility will be further addressed with the site and development plan review. Compatibility with the residentially zoned properties to the north and west is a concern. However, the property to the west is currently vacant and contains a stand of Hurricane Pines, which is environmentally sensitive flora. The residential property to the north is separated from the subject property by SE 10th Street and there are existing regulations to mitigate any potential impacts on the residentially- zoned properties. Section 2.4.5{D){5) CRezonin_cl Findin_~s): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (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: · P & Z Board Staff Report .. Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 5 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; 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 has submitted a justification statement which states the following: "The Future Land Use Map designates this property as General Commercial The proposed Planned Commercial Zoning is of similar intensity to this zoning. The parcel to the East of the subject property is zoned Planned Commercial (PC). The property to the South is zoned Planned Office Center (POC). The property to the North is zoned General Commercial (GC) and single family residential (R-l-A). Due to the surrounding Commercial zoning and identical zoning to the East, Planned Commercial zoning will match up well with the neighborhood and is, therefore, an appropriate zoning for this site. The Planned Commercial Zoning will ensure that this highly visible property will be attractively developed also." Comment: The basis for which the rezoning is being sought most closely relates to Item "c." As noted previously many of the uses allowed in the RT zoning district are also allowed in the PC zoning district. Since rezoning the property in 1990, a site plan was approved for a motel. However, the motel was never built and the property has remained vacant. The proposed rezoning to the PC zoning district will be of similar intensity to the RT zoning district and will provide flexibility to develop the property as a bank with commercial tenant space. Finally, the 2.067 acre parcel is not of sufficient size to accommodate several uses in the RT zoning district such as golf courses, conference facilities, auditoriums, and stadiums. COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on the development proposal. Planned Commercial Purpose and Intent [LDR Section 4.4.12(A)1: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.12(A), the Planned Commercial (PC) District provides for retail, office, and other commercial activities to be established on large sites in a well planned, functional, and aesthetically pleasing manner. The PC District shall be applied to properties designated as commercial on the Future Land Use Map where the unified development is, or will be, in excess of 5 acres; or when it is appropriate to preserve the character of certain specialty retail and office centers; or to ensure that certain high visibility areas are attractively developed. · P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 6 While the proposed rezoning involves less than 5 acres (2.067 acres), the proposed PC zoning will be applied at a high visibility area to ensure that development of the subject property will be compatible and consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Development Standards: Special Landscape Area: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.12(F)(1), within the first 10' of the front yard setback area (abutting the property line) full landscaping shall be provided. Driveways and sidewalks shall be accommodated only when generally perpendicular to the property line. This standard will be required along SE 5~ Avenue (Southbound Federal Highway). Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(H)(6)(b)(1), along Federal Highway, single frontage properties with a depth between 251' and 300' must provide a 20' landscape setback, from the ultimate right-of-way line of SE 5th Avenue. Minimum Floor Area: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.12(F)(2), any free-standing structure shall have a minimum floor area of 6,000 square feet; shall be architecturally compatible with other structures, shall take access from the interior circulation system of the development and shall be able to meet all code requirements if it were to situated on an out parcel. The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) and HPB (Historic Preservation Board). Courtesy Notices: Special courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowners and civic associations: El PROD El President's Council El Osceola Park El Harbourside El Delray Harbour Club East El JMD Properties- Domaine Delray Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Letters of support and objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual Page 7 The rezoning from RT (Resort Tourism) to PC (Planned Commercial) is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. Positive findings are made in the staff report with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings). The PC zoning is more appropriate zoning giving the land use pattern on Federal Highway and is appropriate to ensure a well planned development on a property with high visibility. Continue with direction. Recommend approval of the rezoning request from RT to PC for Washington Mutual, based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations, policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5). Recommend denial of the rezoning request from RT to PC for Washington Mutual, based upon a failure to make positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5), that the rezoning does not fulfill one of the reasons for which a rezoning should be sought. Recommend to the City Commission approval of the rezoning from RT to PC for Washington Mutual, based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations, policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5).
