JEFFREY A. COSTELLO, PRINCIPAL
MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2002
CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
TO ALLOW PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AS A PERMI'I-FED USE IN ALL
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.
In 1998, the Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177(6)(a), Florida Statutes, to require local
governments to include school siting location criteria in their comprehensive plans. Included with the City's
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 was a policy which clearly identified all land use categories, except
Conservation, as areas where public education facilities are consistent and included criteria which encourages
the location of schools proximate to urban residential areas.
In 2001, Palm Beach County, the School District of Palm Beach County, and 26 participating local
governments within the school district chose to implement public school concurrency, requiring each local
government to adopt consistent comprehensive plan amendments. At its meeting of December 11, 2001, the
City Commission adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendment 01-3, which involved creation of a new Public
Schools Facilities Element. One of the policies within the Element related to permitting public schools in all
residential land use categories. Additional background and an analysis are found in the attached Planning and
Zoning Board staff report.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing regarding this item at its meeting of May 20, 2002.
There were several members of the public who spoke in opposition to the request. An attorney representing
the Coral Trace Homeowners Association as well as other residents from the same association and a member
of CARA (Citizen's Against Relocating Atlantic High School) were very site specific regarding their comments,
which primarily opposed the relocation of Atlantic High School to the property south of the Coral Trace
subdivision, known as the Tate property. The attorney representing Coral Trace stated that public schools are
currently allowed in the CF (Community Facilities) zoning district and that the code should not be changed to
allow schools in the residential zoning districts. Another person was concerned with privately operated public
facilities, such as charter schools, being permitted within the residential zoning districts. After discussing the
amendment, the Board voted 5-1 (Warner dissenting, Randolph absent) to recommend to the City Commission
approval of the amendment to the Land Development Regulations to allow "Public Educational Facilities of
Palm Beach County School Board, excluding Charter Schools "as a permitted use in all residential zoning
districts, based upon a positive finding with LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).
By motion, approve on first reading the text amendment to the Land Development Regulations LDR Section
4.4.27(C) to allow "Public Educational Facilities of Palm Beach County School Board, excluding Charter
Schools" as a permitted use in all residential zoning districts, based upon a positive finding with LDR Section
2.4.5(M)(5), that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan, and setting a public hearing date of June 18, 2002.

MEETING OF JUNE 18, 2002
CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS TO ALLOW PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AS A
PERMITTED USE IN ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.
At its meeting of June 4, 2002, the City Commission considered an amendment to the Land
Development Regulations to allow "Public Educational Facilities of Palm Beach County School
Board, excluding Charter Schools "as a permitted use in all residential zoning districts. The
Commission discussed the amendment and felt that the reference to charter schools should be
removed. There were also comments from the public stating that the proposed ordinance was
incorrect as it did not list public educational facilities in all residential zoning districts, as
intended, as public educational facilities were excluded from the Rural Residential (RR) zoning
district. The Commission directed staff to make the appropriate changes and re-advertise the
ordinance for first reading.
The ordinance has been amended to read: "Public educational facilities of the School District of
Palm Beach County"; and includes public educational facilities as a permitted use in not only the
Rural Residential (RR), but also the Mobile Home (MH) and Agriculture (A) zoning districts. The
Mobile Home and Agricultural categories have been added as the Comprehensive Plan refers to
these as residential zoning districts.
Subsequent to the City Commission meeting and during review of the proposed ordinance, staff
felt that supplemental regulations for public educational facilities should be added to the LDRs
and that the definition of residential zoning district in the LDRs should be modified to be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Further, in light of the amendment, the current
regulations within the Community Facilities (CF) zoning district should be modified to allow
public educational facilities as a permitted use. These amendments are scheduled for the June
17th Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Given the more comprehensive approach to be
considered by the Planning and Zoning Board, it is recommended this ordinance be denied.
These changes that are being considered by the Planning and Zoning Board will be scheduled
for the City Commission review at their meeting of July 2, 2002.
By motion, deny on first reading Ordinance No. 19-02, as additional more comprehensive
amendments to the Land Development Regulations are proposed.

LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings): Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5)
(Findings), in addition to LDR Section 1.1.6(A), the City Commission must make a
finding that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals,
Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
In 1998 the Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177(6)(a), Florida Statutes, to
require local governments to include school siting location criteria in their
comprehensive plans. The criteria are to encourage the location of schools near urban
areas and to collocate them with parks, libraries and community centers to the greatest
extent possible. Local governments were required to revise their Future Land Use
Elements by October 1, 1999 to incorporate these criteria and designate the land use
categories where public schools are an allowable use. The City processed the required
changes as part of Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1. The amendment clearly
identified all land use categories except conservation as areas were public education
facilities are consistent and included criteria which encourages the location of schools
proximate to urban residential areas.
In 2001, Palm Beach County, the School District of Palm Beach County, and 26
participating local governments within the school district chose to implement public
school concurrency, requiring each local government to adopt consistent
comprehensive plan amendments. The proposed Plan amendments for school
concurrency were submitted along with executed Interlocal Agreements which satisfy
IV.F.

the requirements of Florida Statutes, and established processes for intergovernmental
coordination and collaborative planning among the participants.
At its meeting of August 21, 2001, the City Commission initiated Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 01-3 relating to School Concurrency. The amendment involved creation of
a new Public Schools Facilities Element, which included a definition section and related
map series, and revisions to the existing Capital Improvement Element to include the
School Districts adopted Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan. At its meeting of December
11, 2001, the City Commission adopted the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. One of
the policies within the Public School Element related to permitting public schools in all
residential land use categories. In addition, the Element included the following objective
and policies as they relate to this text amendment:
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT OBJECTIVE B-1 - School Facility Siting:
To establish a process of coordination and collaboration between the County, local
governments, and the School District in the planning and siting of public school facilities
in coordination with planned infrastructure and public facilities.
Public School Facilities Element Policy B-I.1 The City of Delray Beach shall
coordinate and provide for expedited review of development proposals with the School
District during the development review process to ensure integration of public school
facilities with surrounding land uses and the compatibility of uses with schools.
Public School Facilities Element Policy B-1.4 The City of Delray Beach shall
encourage the location of schools proximate to urban residential areas by:
· Assisting the School District in identifying funding and/or construction
opportunities (including developer participation or City of Delray Beach capital
budget expenditures) for sidewalks, traffic signalization, access, water, sewer,
drainage and other infrastructure improvements;
· Providing for the review for all school sites as indicated in Policy B-1.1 above;
and,
· Allowing schools as a permitted use within all urban residential land use
categories.
In addition to the above policy, the following goals, objectives and policies apply:
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL AREA "D':' THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
WHICH SERVES DELRAY BEACH SHALL BE AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY
THROUGH CONTRIBUTING TO THE STABILIZATION OF NEIGHBORHOODS AND
ACCOMMODATING THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF EXISTING AND FUTURE
RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY.

Future Land Use Element Objective D.2 - The role of schools in their neighborhoods
shall be enhanced so that the school facilities aid in achieving the goals and objectives
of this Comprehensive Plan, particularly those identified in the Housing element, which
are directed toward stabilization and revitalization of neighborhoods.
Future Land Use Element Policy D-2.2- The City Commission shall work in concert
with the School District to reduce and minimize the busing of Delray Beach out of Delray
Beach, in order to enable as many children as possible to attend schools that are in or
near their own neighborhoods.
Future Land Use Element Policy D-2.3- The City shall strive to achieve better
cohesiveness of neighborhoods by lessening the number of school attendance districts
to which students are assigned, and/or the number of students bused out of the City.
This shall be accomplished through drawing such boundaries be adding or subtracting
areas adjacent to existing districts, rather than by drawing from enclaves located
elsewhere.
Future Land Use Element Objective D-3- The City shall cooperate with the School
Board to achieve placement of new schools inside of the County's urban services area,
to upgrade and enhance existing facilities with the City, and to schedule individual
facility needs in an orderly and timely manner that is responsive to meeting the other
objectives of this goal area.
Future Land Use Element Policy D-3.5 - Public educational facilities of the School
District of Palm Beach County shall be consistent with all land use categories except
Conservation.
Future Land Use Element Policy D-3.6 - The location and construction of new public
educational facilities and the expansion of existing facilities shall be permitted based
upon a finding that the proposal is consistent with applicable goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and is compatible with adjacent land uses and
development patterns.
In addition to Goal Area D above, there are a number of objectives and policies which
support public educational facilities in residential zoning districts. State Statutes 235.193
requires coordination between School Boards and local governing bodies to ensure that
plans for the construction and opening of public educational facilities are facilitated and
coordinated in time and place with plans for residential development, concurrently with
other services. Further, local governing bodies may not deny a proposal, but may
impose reasonable development standards and conditions. Given the above, it is more
appropriate to allow public educational facilities as a permitted use. Construction of
public schools are subject to the Florida Department of Education's "State
Requirements for Educational Facilities", which are development standards for public
schools.

LDR Text Amendment - Public Educational Facilities in Residential Zoning Districts
Page 4
Currently, in the City's LDRs public educational facilities are only allowed in the CF
(Community Facilities) zoning district as a conditional use. Educational facilities with a
focus towards special needs students are also allowed as a conditional use subject to
special criteria, similar to child care facilities. In conjunction with this text amendment it
may be appropriate to modify the CF zoning distdct regulations to allow educational
facilities as a permitted use.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LDR amendment must be based
upon a finding that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives,
and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. This amendment cleady furthers the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
By motion, recommend to the City Commission approval of an amendment to the Land
Development Regulations to add "Public Educational Facilities" as a permitted use in
residential zoning districts, based upon a positive finding with LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5),
that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and
Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
