CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
1) Location: Pg. FL-32, Policy C-2.1, (Redevelopment Areas)
Changes center on deletion of the requirement that a redevelopment plan be adopted
prior to the expenditure of public funds for infrastructure.
See Support Documents #1 (Redevelopment Areas memorandum staff report) for a
complete discussion of this item.
2) Location: Pg. FL-42, (General Commercial Future Land Use Description)
General Commercial: This designation is applied to land, which is, or should be,
developed for general commercial purposes e.g. retail, office, services. Light industrial
type uses such as fabrication and assembly are permissible under this designation
when located in the special overlay district between Federal Highway and Dixie
Highway, north of N.E. 14th Street to the north City limit. Residential uses, unless they
are in conjunction with a commercial use, are not permissible on land shown as General
Commercial on the Future Land Use Map.
Change: REVISION
General Commercial: This designation is applied to land which is, or should be,
developed for general commercial purposes e.g. retail, office, services. Light industrial
type uses such as fabrication and assembly are permissible under this designation
when located in the special oveday district between Federal Highway and Dixie
Highway, north of N.E. 14th Street to the north City limit. A maximum Floor Area Ratio
of 3.0 is permitted for nonresidential uses. D~o~,.,;.~, ........ '~o~- ,~,,,,, -~,,, i,,
r, ...... ~'~' ~"~ *~'~ ~"* .... ' '~"'~ "~'~ ~ Residential uses may comprise up to of 50%
of the total floor area within the West Atlantic Redevelopment Area (GC Overlay), and
up to 15% of the total floor area elsewhere in the City with a GC FLUM designation.
Residential uses are permitted either in conjunction with a commercial use, or as a
stand alone use subie=t to Conditional Use approval. Residential density is limited to a
maximum of 12 dwelling units per acre, except within the West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Area Overlay where the density may exceed 12 units per acre, up to a
maximum of 30 units per acre subject to Conditional Use approval.
Comment: The statement being eliminated is currently inconsistent with the Land
Development Regulations which allows stand alone residential developments as
Page 3
ORDINANCE NUMBER 14-99, PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
conditional uses within General and Planned Commercial zoning districts. Both of these
zoning districts are listed as consistent with the General Commercial Land Use Map
designation, and create a conflict with respect to residential uses. Residential densities
are limited to 12 units per acre in the General Commercial land use categories. The
language relating to increases above 12 units per acre in the West Atlantic Avenue
Overlay is being added at the request of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The
maximum residential and commercial intensities and density along with maximum
residential percentages are being added to address DCA's ORC comments. See
Support Document #10 for complete discussion on densities within the West Atlantic
Overlay District.
3) Location: Pg. FL-42 (Conservation Future Land Use Description)
CONSERVATION LAND USE: This designation applies to those specific properties
identified in the Conservation Element as land to be preserved. No other land use is
appropriate. These properties shall be either placed into public ownership or developed
only as allowed by policies of the Conservation Element. They are shown on the Future
Land Use Map under the Recreational and Open Space designation.
Change: REVISION
CONSERVATION LAND USE: This designation aPplies to those specific properties
identified in the Conservation Element as land to be preserved. No other land use is
appropriate. These properties shall be either placed into public ownership or developed
only as allowed by policies of the Conservation Element. They are shown on the Future
Land Use Map under the Recr~at!_'cna! and Open Space-Conservation designation.
Properties having an Open Space-Conservation designation will be developed with an
intensity consistent with the policies contained within Objective B-1 of the Conservation
Element.
Comment: The Recreation and Open Space land use designation allows for more
active recreational use of an area which may be inconsistent with the conservation of
the land. It is noted the Open Space-Conservation land use designation is consistent
with zoning designations which allow passive use such as hiking trails and passive
Parks.
4) Location: Pg. FL-43, (Large Scale Mixed Use Description)
Changes involve eliminating the Large Scale Mixed Use Land use category. After the
modification proposed for the Lost Delray Drive-In (removal of the Large-Scale
category) no other property will have that designation. Further, there are no other
properties in the City or in the City's Planning Area which are appropriate for this
designation.
See Support Documents #2 ( Mixed Use Future Land Use categories memorandum
staff report) for a complete discussion of this item.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 14-99, PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
5) Location: Pg. FL-45,Table L-7
The table is being modified to eliminate the Large Scale Mixed Use Land Use category
from the land Use matrix. The current amendment includes a land use amendment
removing the Large-Scale designation for the last parcel in the City and includes
elimination of the text description of the category.
See Support Documents #2 (Mixed Use Land Use Categories Staff Report) for a
complete discussion and revised table.
6) Location: Pg. FL-23, Policy A-1.7
Policy A-1.7 Amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) must be based upon
the following findings:
[] Demonstrated Need - That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy, or
similar circumstances. The need must be supported by data and analysis. This
policy shall not apply to requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or
Recreation and Open Space
[] Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with goals, objectives, and
policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
[] Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
[] Compatibility- The requested designation will be compatible with existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area.
[] Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
Change: REVISION
Policy A-1.7 Amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) must be based upon
the fc!!~,.~.,!~2 findings;--listed below, and must be supported by data and analysis that
demonstrate compliance with these findings:
Demonstrated Need - That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
Page 5
ORDINANCE NUMBER 14-99, PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy,
annexation into the municipal boundaries, or similar circumstances. The need must
be supported by data and analysis verifying the changing demographics or other
circumstances. This pc!!c¥ requirement shall not apply to requests for the FLUM
designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space; nor shall it apply to
FLUM changes associated with annexations when the City's advisory FLUM
designation is being applied, or when the requested designation is of a similar
intensity to the advisory designation. However, the findings described in the
remainder of this policy must be addressed with all FLUM amendments.
[] Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with goals, objectives, and
policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
r-, Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
~ Compatibility- The requested designation will be compatible with existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area.
~ Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Comment: The City has applied advisory land use designations to areas in the City's
Future Annexation Area. These designations were selected given the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding areas. Therefore, in most cases when
annexations include the application of the advisory designations or designations of
similar intensity demonstrated need has been previously established.
7) Location: Pg. FL-26, New Policy A-5,6
Change: NEW POLICY
Policy A-5.6 The City shall amend the General Commercial (GC) zoning district to
accommodate increased multiple family densities over 12 units per acre, but not to
exceed a maximum of 30 units per acre as a Conditional Use in the West Atlantic
Avenue Redevelopment Area Oveday.
Comment: See Support Document #10 (Densities within the General Commercial
Land Use category and the West Atlantic Oveday District) and the response to the ORC
report for a complete discussion of this item.

Large-Scale Mixed Use overlay.
See Support Document #9 (Delray's Lost Drive-In FLUM Amendment) for a complete
discussion of this item.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT:
1) Location: Pg. CI 28-30 (5-Year Capital Improvement Schedule)
Changes involve modifying the Five-Year schedule of capital improvements to reflect
changes associated with the adoption of the 1999/00 Capital Improvement Budget.
The changes involve deletion of projects completed in the previous years and addition
of new projects, elimination of projects or expenditures no longer desired, and
prioritization of current and new projects.
See Support Document #3 (Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements) for the
completed table.
HOUSING ELEMENT
1) Location: Pg. HO-34, Policy A-12.4 (Large Homes)
PolicyA-12.4 In order to help preserve the character and scale of the City's
neighborhoods, measures shall be taken to mitigate the impacts of the "mansionization
trend. In FY 97/98, the City shall adopt regulations to limit the size and scale of new
homes in order to ensure that they are compatible with the City's existing, older housing
stock. The City will provide planning and technical assistance to implement
neighborhood-supported initiatives aimed at preserving the character of existing
residential areas. Such assistance may involve the formulation of regulations that
would limit the size and scale of new homes to be consistent with existing structures
within a defined neighborhood, an analysis of the housing inventory to determine if the
area qualifies for designation as a historic district, and similar measures.

within a defined neighborhood, an analysis of the housing inventory to determine if the
area qualifies for designation as a historic district, and similar measures.
Comment: An ordinance regulating the size and scale of homes failed to pass in 1997.
The issue was referred back to the Planning staff and a planning consultant for
additional review and input. A revised ordinance was considered by the City
Commission in November, 1998. After much discussion the Commission voted not to
adopt the ordinance. Commission members felt they would rather apply rules to
individual neighborhoods, if the majority of residents in those neighborhoods support the
regulations.

L ?i?iii!,!~ !!i~:!~iil;F ~!i-~i;~i~:~ i.?~i,'-ITEM BEEORE~THE BOARDL .i:;~ii~i:i:....' :' ~... ".
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding an amendment to Future Land Use Element Policies C-2.1, C-2.3, C-2.4, and
C-2.6 of the Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to LDR Section 9.2.1 (Amendment of the
Comprehensive Plan).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS ~ :,~i':: ~':: ~.:
At its meeting of March 2, 1999, the City Commission initiated Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 99-1. At that meeting, the Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD)
requested that Future Land Use Element Policy C-2.1, be changed so that unpaved
streets within designated redevelopment areas can be paved prior to adoption of a
redevelopment plan. Currently, Policy C-2.1 states that "until such time as a
redevelopment plan is prepared and adopted for such an area, public investment - in
terms of infrastructure - shall be minimal." In order to allow the City more flexibility to
address the needs of these areas, it seems appropriate to amend this policy. In
addition, the scheduled dates for completion of the plans are being adjusted.
iRECO-MME
By motion, recommend to the City Commission an amendment to Future Land Use
Element Policies C-2.1, C-2.3, C-2.4, and C-2.6 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Attachments: Text Changes
Request Letter
Adoption of the Redevelopment Plan represents Phase I of the redevelopment strategy
for the area. Phase II consists of an economic development strategy to be developed
by the CRA, based on the Redevelopment Plan, and a market study. The economic
development strategy will be completed by Fiscal Year 97/98.
Policy C-1.6 The following pertains to the redevelopment of the Silver Terrace Area:
This area involves the old Silver Terrace Subdivision which contains some mixed use
but is primarily single family. It also involves the adjacent land use of the Floranda
Mobile Home Park which is a well maintained land use but which may, in the future, be
inappropriate for its location along Federal Highway adjacent to a regional shopping
center. The Silver Terrace Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission
on March 5, 1996. The plan establishes Future Land Use Map designations, zonings,
and special development standards for the redevelopment area. Future development in
the area must be in accordance with the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan.
Obiective C-2
The City, through its Planning & Zoning Department, shall evaluate the continued need
for specific redevelopment plans to address the following geographic areas. The
evaluations shall be completed, and recommendations presented to the Planning &
Zoning Board by the end of FY 97/98. Should the need for redevelopment plans be
demonstrated, they shall be added to the Department's adopted Work Program. Until
the evaluation is complete, the policies referring to redevelopment areas will be
maintained.

to the adoption of the redevelopment plan, one of the following options shall be
pursued:
Acceleration of the redevelopment plan and deferral of the land use request until the
plan is completed; or,
Consideration of the use request on its own merits with the existing zoning and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan guiding the disposition of the request.

Policy C-2.3 The following pertains to the Wallace Drive Industrial Area:
This area shall be primarily industrial (LI Zoning) with an emphasis on commerce uses
(PCC, MIC zone districts). The City, through its water and sewer capital improvement
program, shall install water and sewer mains throughout the area. Unimproved and
underimproved rights-of-way shall be abandoned when it facilitates the aggregation of
parcels and larger scale development provided that the right-of-way is not essential for
traffic flow purposes. Support uses for the existing automobile dealership uses are
encouraged. All commercial uses shall be allowed with the exception of "strip-type"
development along Wallace Drive which is not desired because of traffic conflicts along
this collector street.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 9819912000 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan amendment.
Policy C-2.4 The following pertains to the vicinity of Lindell and Federal Highway:
This area extends from the C-15 Canal northward between Federal and Dixie
Highways. The area does not include the existing (Honda) automobile dealership but
does include the mobile home park north of it. Half of the land is vacant, almost half is
underutilized as a substandard trailer park, and a few lots have residences upon them.
While any commercial use is allowable, the future use of the property is most
appropriate for specialized commercial or recreational activities. An effort shall be
made to promote aggregation of parcels prior to any further development.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 8-74889912000 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan amendment.
Policy C-2.$ The following pertains to the area on both sides of S.W. 4th Avenue, north
of Linton Boulevard.
This area involves warehouses, heavy industrial use, sporadic residential uses, and
vacant land. The vacant land was platted as a part of the Woods of Southridge
Subdivision. Residential use is most appropriate for the area west of S.W. 4th Avenue.
Industrial and office uses are appropriate east of S.W. 4th Avenue.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 98~99 and shall be adopted through a
comprehensive plan'amendment.
Policy C-2.6 The following pertains to the area bounded by S.E. 2nd Street, Federal
Highway, S.E. 5th Street, and Swinton Avenue (Osceola Park area):
FL - 33
This area has industrial uses with inadequate parking to the west, commercial uses to
the east, and a mixed residential area which has turned mainly into renter-occupied
units. It is also encompassed by wellfield protection zones. The primary focus of this
redevelopment plan shall be to arrest deterioration, provide adequate parking and
services for the existing industrial and commercial areas, and accommodate housing
which is compatible with the other uses.
The issues relating to industrial uses within this area were addressed within the new
CDB-RC zoning district, created on May 16, 1995. Therefore, the redevelopment plan
for this area will focus on the residential neighborhood.
The plan will, at a minimum address the following issues:
[] Appropriateness of the existing RM zoning district within the area.
[] Use of traffic-calming measures to reduce speed and volume of traffic on the
residential streets within the area.
[] Potential for creation of a historic district within the area.
[] Landscape beautification.
[] Improvement of existing housing stock.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 1~7-/98/99 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan arnendment.
Obiective C-3
Economic development is an essential component of the redevelopment and renewal
efforts which are directed to the future of the City of Delray Beach. Specific efforts for
the coordination and provision of economic development activities shall be centered in
the City Administration's Development Services Management Group. Those efforts
shall be governed by the following policies.
Policy C-3.1 The City of Delray Beach hereby acknowledges the role of Culture and
the Arts in Economic Development and pledges ;,q pursuit of a theme of this
Comprehensive Plan - A Renaissance Community - the promotion of the arts and
accommodation of cultural activities for economic development ends.
Policy C-3.2 The successful development of the Old School Square Project is the
cornerstone to the' rebirth of the economic vitality of the community. To further
accommodate this activity, the City shall evaluate the potential for the acquisition of
land in the Old School Square area of the City for the purpose of improving public
parking and/or creating a linkage between Old School Square and governmental
facilities to the west.

Dear Mayor and Commission Members,
Bill Schwartz
Vice President
Progressive Residents of Delray voted at their February Board meeting
Jayne King voted to ask the city to change our Comprehensive Plan policy C-2 so that
Se~etary the unpaved streets in our city can be paved by the city. The streets may be
Gretchen Bacon in a redevelopment area but the probability of any of them being done by a
~:easurer developer are next to non. Eighth .ave and l 1 street and the street off
fourth Ave. are partially developed and will attract builders if they are
Board Members paved. Why 11 street is partially paved and partially not paved makes no
sense at all. The one block on north Frederick off.La Mat is another where
llelen Co0persmith the no development will pay for the street. Mr. Columbi owns the square
~.1t. Boo~ind~r block on Federal and has access to three streets now. It is time to bite the
bullet and help these people. The areas will improve if the streets are
~rald ~Foe paved.
Norman ~laslo~' .again we are formally requesting that the Comprehensive Plan policy be
Jo Ann Peart changed as soon as possible.
Bill Sch~a,~z. Sincerely,
Jean Beer, Pres.

MIXED USE LAND USE STAFF REPORT
PLANNING:ANDi~ZoNING BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 15, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: IV.F.1 -AMENDMENT TO FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
REGARDING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MIXED USE
LAND USE CATEGORIES
I ''~ ':~ i; i!!?' ii!i~iii il ITEM BEFORETHEiBOARDi~::ii:i;!~!~,::' ~L:,/ ~" "
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding a text amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive
Plan regarding the description of the mixed use land use categories, pursuant to LDR
Section 9.2.1 (Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan).
I :~::~ '".: ;';;!ii~i!!!!i!i! ~:~ BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: ~ :. 'il ~;:: ~
Large Scale Mixed Use:
The large scale mixed use land use designation is an overlay district which was created
to provide incentives for redevelopment of properties not located within designated
redevelopment areas, and which were to be developed solely by private entities. With
the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in November
1989, the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay district was adopted and applied to two
properties on NoAh Federal Highway - the Kokomo Key townhouse development and
the Deiray Swap Shop/Delray's Lost Drive-In. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was
being developed in 1988, a mixed use development known as Marina Cay was
approved for the property but was not built. In 1995, site plan approval was obtained to
construct the Kokomo Key townhouse development, which has been constructed. In
1995, with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1, the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay
designation was removed from the Marina Cay/Kokomo Key property, as it was no
longer applicable.
In 1998, conditional use and site plan approvals were obtained for Delray's Lost Drive-In
(fka Delray Swap Shop), and the improvements are currently under construction. With
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1, a separate Future Land Use Map amendment
is being processed to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay from the Lost Drive-In
property, as it is no longer applicable. Further, the NoAh Federal Highway
redevelopment plan has been adopted which calls for mixed use development along
Federal Highway, which can be accommodated under the GC (General Commercial)
zoning designation.
The Large Scale Mixed Use overlay has existed for 10 years without any developer
taking advantage of the incentives for increasing the base residential density or the
commercial floor area. As the designation was only applied to two properties, which
have been developed under conventional zoning without the incentives, it is not
necessary to retain the designation. In addition to the above, as the Large Scale Mixed
CPA 99-1- Text Amendment - FLUE Mixed Land Use Categories
Page 2
Use overlay designation is being eJiminated, FLUE Policy C-2.2 regarding the same will
also be deleted.
Other Mixed Use:
With the~~doption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Ma~p in
November 1989~ the Other Mixed Use (OMU) pattern was applied to the Old-School
Square Historic Dis.t~ct, the Holland property (now Linton Office Park),~and~ntil 1995,
the Blood's Grove "pr~e~ (now Hammock Reserve subdivi~sion~). The OMU
designation has a rando' h'k.p, attern and the zoning designat_ions~'do not have to be
congruent with the FLUM c~'~.?y. The description of~th~category is lengthy and
references conventional zoning dis'tfic, ts through a pl?m~ed development approach (i.e.
PCC, PRD, etc.). The OMU~does no"St'-p~rovid, d~e~r~evelopment incentives which were
previously identified with the Large Scale. Vied Use overlay. While the description
references other conventional zonin~dist~ricts a§--W.ell as SAD (Special Activities District)
zoning, Table L-7 (Land Use.~i~esignation/Zonin~'~atrix) indicates that the OMU
designation is only consi.stefit with the Old School~.uare Historic Arts District
(OSSHAD), Commun[tyd='acilities (CF), and Agriculture (A'~zoning districts. As the
OMU category is_orfl~"applied to the Old School Square Historic District, the description
of the categorT~'~hould be focussed on historic preservabon and mix-of uses, and a
other rCet~nces eliminated. ~,...
Redevelopment Areas: ~
In addition, some minor technical changes are being made to the Redevelopment Area'""~-~
category.
I
By motion, recommend to the City Commission approval of the text amendments to the
Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan regarding the description of the
Mixed Use Categories.

those areas which have been identified in the Future Land Use Element as being in
need of redevelopment. Development shall occur pursuant to a specific "redevelopment
plan" which is to be prepared pursuant to Objective C-2 of the Future Land Use
Element. If a development proposal is presented to the City prior to the creation and
adoption of a redevelopment plan, that proposal shall be handled in one of the following
ways:
the application shall be placed on hold for not more than six months while the
redevelopment plan is prepared;
the application shall be processed on a case-by-case basis with the existing zoning
map, the Future Land Use Element, and the Housing Element providing the Local
Planning Agency with the policy guidance needed to properly dispose of the
application.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
FDOT ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL HIGHWAY
MEMORANDUM
To: Paul Dorling, Acting Director of Planning and Zoning
From: John Walker, Project Coordinator_.~'/
Date: July 27, 1998
Subject: Federal Highway One-Way Pair
The City Manager has requested a reduction in the ultimate section of the one-
way pair segment of North Federal Highway (5th and 6th Avenues) from 3 lanes
to 2 lanes in each direction. This reduction would accommodate sidewalk
widening and streetscape enhancement in the segment. The attached memo
from FDOT indicates that the segment will operate at acceptable LOS with the
proposed lane reduction. You have already coordinated with MPO to modify
their future p~ans for the segment.
It would be appropriate to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the change
in the ultimate section. A review of the Plan finds that the following maps and
tables may require amendment:
· Table %1 should be changed from 3 lanes to 2 lanes for the ultimate section.
· Maps #20~ and 21 should be changed to indicate 2 lanes as the 2015
operating condition.
These changes could be made as part of the adoption of Plan Amendment 98-1.
When the adopted Plan Amendment is transmitted back to DCA for review (with
the FDOT memo as background), these new changes would be noted as not
previously reviewed. Since FDOT is in support of the change, DCA should have
no problem with the change. In addition, as a streetscape project develops, it
would be appropriate to amend the Comprehensive Plan further in a future
amendment by adding a policy calling for streetscape improvements in the
segment.

SUBJECT: SR 5/US-1 One-Way Pair in Delray Beach
Evaluation of Proposed Changes
The study corridor ofSR 5/US-I approximately from S.E. 10th Street to Bond Way is a one-way
pair roadway with three lanes in each direction. The City of Delray Beach proposes to decrease
the number of lanes from three to two lanes (with on-street parking) in this one-way pair section
of U.S. 1.
The following analysis estimates the Level of Service (LOS) of the study section under existing
and proposed conditions. The 1997 field counts were available and projected (year 2020)
volumes were calculated by assuming a Cumulative Growth Rate of one percent from the present
year. Tabte 1 shows the existing and proposed volumes on US-1 at two locations - north and
south of Atlantic Avenue. In addition, the table shows the expected LOS on US-1 with the 6-lane
(existing laneage) and 4-1ane (proposed laneage) geometry, both as one-way pair alternatives.

Comprehensive Plans include the one-way pair section of US-1 as a 6-lane one-way pair
roadway. However, an exception is a section of US-1 to the north of N.W. 8th Street (George
Bush Boulevard) which is shown as a regular 4-lane roadway. Finally, a portion of the study
section between S.E. 3rd Street and N.E. 4th Street is a Transportation Concurrency Exception
Area (map attached).
In conclusion, this analysis shows that the study section would operate at an acceptable LOS,
even with the reduction of number oflanes from three to two lanes on each leg ofthe one-way
pair. The amendment of both the LRTP and Comprehensive Plans is the most appropriate
approach for the City to pursue reducing the laneage on US-1. The Palm Beach LRTP is currently
being updated and should be finalized by December 1998.

Subject: Traffic Forecast for US-1 North and South of Atlantic Avenue in Dekay Beach
· Three transportation models reviewed for analysis, CF15, SERPM4, and
the work model used for the US-1/Dixie Highway alternative in the
Boca/Dekay Area.
· Forecast volumes using regression analysks for all model alternatives
indicated minimal growth. The highlighted columns on the regression
worksheet indicate the SERPM4 analysis.
· Recommendation for this analysis is 0.5 to 1% CGR for projection. This
~owlh rate suggests a 2020 projection of+/- 32,000.

The action before the Board is making a recommendation to the City
Commission to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and Zoning
Map designations for the 24.52-acre Delray Oaks Preserve. The request
involves a FLUM amendment from TRN (Transitional) to OS-C (Open
Space - Conservation) and rezoning from POC (Planned Office Center) to
OS (Open Space).
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Congress
Avenue and South West 29t~ Street.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency (Planning
and Zoning Board) shall review and make a recommendation to the City
Commission with respect to all amendments to the City's Future Land Use
Map and Zoning Map.
Palm Beach County acquired the subject property in December 1995, with funds
approved through the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Bond on March 12, 1991. The
City served as the County's partner in an application for State matching funds for
acquisition of the subject property.
The City has received a site plan application from the Palm Beach County Department
of Environmental Resource Management to install a 12-space parking area and nature
trail with observation platform at the Delray Oaks Preserve. The City's Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) designation for the property is TRN (Transitional) and it is currently zoned
POC (Planned Office Center), which does not permit the preserve and the associated
improvements. Pursuant to Conservation Element, Policy B-1.1 of the Comprehensive
Plan, publicly owned environmentally sensitive areas are to be identified on the FLUM
by an "Open Space-Conservation" symbol. In order to be consistent with the use of the
property and Conservation Element Policy B-1.1, it is necessary to change the FLUM
description to Open Space-Conservation and the zoning designation to OS (Open
Space). The OS zoning is appropriate for passive parks, such as Delray Oaks. The
zoning change was initiated by the City Commission on March 2, 1999, as was the
FLUM amendment, which is to be included in Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1.
This Future Land Use Map Amendment is being processed pursuant to the '~vice a year
statutory limits for consideration of plan amendments (F.S. 163.3187).
P & Z Board Staff Report
Delray Oaks Preserve - FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 2
Land Use Analysis:
Pursuant to Land Development Regulation Section 3.1.1(A) (Future Land Use
Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district
within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the
land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
As noted previously, the proposed site plan indicates that the park will be developed
with a nature trail that includes an observation platform and 12-space parking lot. The
proposed passive park and accessory facilities are allowed in the OS zoning district.
According to Table L-7 of the Comprehensive Plan, the OS zoning district is consistent
with the OS-C Future Land Use Map designation.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
must be based upon the following findings:
[] Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The
need must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic
trends, changes in the availability of land, changes in the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a
comprehensive plan objective or policy, or similar circumstances. Data and
analysis must support the need. This policy shall not apply to requests for the
FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space.
An analysis of the "Demonstrated Need" is not required since the proposal is a
Conservation FLUM amendment.
[] Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Goal Area B of the Conservation Element states that sensitive lands that provide
habitat and contain native vegetation vital to the maintenance of the environmental
quality of this community shall be conserved and protected. The Delray Oaks
Preserve is one of the properties designated for preservation. The proposed OS-C
FLUM designation is appropriate when designated land is to be preserved.
Therefore, the FLUM designation change promotes the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
The highest intensity development allowed by the proposed OS zoning district and
OS-C FLUM designations are passive parks. The current POC zoning district
designation allows for planned office complexes. Since the demand on public
services is far less for passive parks than office complexes, the FLUM and Zoning
P & Z Board Staff Report
Delray Oaks Prese~,e - FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 3 '-
Map designation changes will have a positive impact with respect to meeting
concurrency requirements.
[] Compatibility - The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
The OS-C FLUM and OS zoning designations will be compatible with the
surrounding existing and future land uses. The existing adjacent uses are the
Catalfumo planned OfT'iCe center to the north, the Delray Oaks multiple family
development to the south, industrial to the east (across Congress Avenue), and the
Sabal Pines East multiple family development to the west. The proposed
conservation area will not have an adverse affect on these surrounding uses.
The Delray Oaks Preserve will generate 39 average daily trips (1.59 trips x 24.52
acres). Given the acreage of the property, the site could be developed as a planned
office center with 320,000 square feet of floor area. A 320,000 square foot planned
office complex generates 3,245 trips per day. The surrounding roads can
accommodate the trips generated by the proposed nature preserve. Furthermore,
the impact on public services such as fire protection, water, sewer, solid waste,
drainage, and police is also significantly less for the conservation area than a
planned of Tice center.
The DERM has indicated that the conservation area will operate during daylight
hours and will be closed during evening hours. Consequently, there will be no patron
interaction with the park during the evening hours.
Finally, the use of the property as a conservation area will not have a positive or
negative effect on the property values of the surrounding properties. Since the
conservation area will have a Iow impact on the surrounding properties, the property
values will not be affected due to the proposed FLUM or zone change.
Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
As noted previously, the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource
Management has submitted a site plan application for a passive park on the subject
property. The improvements noted on the proposed site plan are consistent with the
uses allowed in the OS-C FLUM and OS zone designations. The site plan
application and ~ompliance with the City's Land Development Regulations will be
considered by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board following the requested
designation changes to the FLUM and Zoning Map.

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 that
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, Concurrency and Comprehensive Plan Consistency were
previously discussed under the Future Land Use Map Analysis section of this report.
Compliance with respect to Compliance with the Land Development Regulations
(Standards for Rezoning Actions, Rezoning Findings) are discussed below.
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.
Comprehensive Plan Policies:
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan was previously discussed under the Future
Land Use Map Amendment Analysis section of this report.
Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezonin9 Actions): Standards B and C are not
applicable with respect to this rezoning request, as the rezoning for preservation
of environmentally sensitive land does not affect the City's Housing Element or
involves strip commercial development activity. The applicable performance
standards of Section 3.3.2 are as follows:
A) That a rezoning to other than CF, OS, OSR, OR Conservation within stable
residential area shall be denied.
The subject property is located along a principal arterial roadway (Congress
Avenue). The surrounding existing land uses are a planned office park to the
north, multiple family residential to the south and west, and a planned commerce
center and industrial complex to the east (across Congress Avenue). The Delray
Oaks Preserve is not located within a residential area but is adjacent to
neighborhoods designated as stable residential on the Residential Neighborhood
Categorization Map. The proposed rezoning is to OS, therefore a positive
finding with respect to this standard can be made.
P & Z Board Staff Repod
Delray Oa:',s Prese,"ve - FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 5
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 proposed rezoning will implement the City's Conservation designation of the
subject property. According to Table L-7 of the Future Land Use Element, the
OS zone designation is compatible with the FLUM designations of the adjacent
residential and commercial properties. As noted previously, the uses permitted
in the OS zoning district are passive parks or water bodies. The passive park
proposed by Palm Beach County is consistent with the proposed Zoning Map
designation and the surrounding uses. The accessory facilities associated with
the passive park such as parking will be considered via the site plan process in
accordance with the City's Land Development Regulations.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezonin9 Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5), in addition to the 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 proposed OS zone designation is allowed under both the current TRN
(Transitional) and the proposed OS-C FLUM designations. Given the proposed use of
the property, the QS zone and OS-C FLUM designations are more appropriate for the
property. The OS zone designation change from POC will ensure that the property is
utilized as a passive, park rather than for office uses. Consequently, a positive finding
with respect to (b) can be made since the purchase of the property by DERM for the
purpose of establishing a passive park changes the circumstances with respect to
appropriateness of the zoning designation. Furthermore, the OS zoning designation is
more appropriate as passive parks are not allowed uses in the POC zoning district.

designation as it will ensure that the property remains in its natural state and is not
allowed to be developed. Positive findings can be made with respect to Future Land

IV.F.3.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
on a City initiated Future Land Use Map amendment to remove the Large Scale Mixed
Use Overlay designation from the Delray's Lost Drive-In (fka Swap Shop) property.
The subject property is located on the east side of Federal Highway (U.S. 1),
approximately 500' north of Allen Avenue.
The subject prope~ consists of four unplaced parcels of land containing a total of 7
acres. The prope~ was developed in lg57, under the jurisdiction of Palm Beach
Count, as a drive-in theater. The drive-in theater continued to operate until the
late1970's at which time it was conve~ed to a flea market.
In 1989, the subject prope~ was located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, within
the CiW's Future Planning Area. ~th the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and
Future Land Use Map the prope~ was given a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay with an
underlying land use designation of General Commercial.
On Januaw 11, lg94, the CiW Commission approved an interlocal agreement with Palm
Beach Coun~ for the annexation of the NoKh Federal Highway enclaves, including the
Swap Shop.
On Februaw 8, 1994, the Ci~ Commission initiated a Small Scale Future Land Use
Map amendment and initial zoning of GC (General Commercial) for the Delray Swap
Shop prope~. At its meeting of April 19, 1994, the Ci~ Commission approved the
associated "Annexation and Development Agreement". On May 17, 1994, the Ci~
Commission approved on second and final reading the Small Scale Future Land Use
Map amendment and Annexation with initial zoning of GC (General Commercial). The
upgrades to the site as required by the Annexation and Development Agreement were
subsequently implemented.
On May 5, lg98, the Ci~ Commission approved a Conditional Use Modification request
for redevelopment and expansion of the Swap Shop wbh the condition that a site plan
be submiffed which inco~orated concepts that came from the NoKh Federal Highway
planning charre~e (held in November of 1977).
On July 22, 1998, the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board approved a Class IV
Site Plan Modification for th~ redevelopment and expansion of the Swap Shop. The
redevelopment of the site is currently in process.
On March 2, 19gg, the Ci~ Commission initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment 9g-
1. The amendment includes the removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay from
the prope~.

Future Land Use Element- Mixed Use Categories:
In the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Large Scale
Mixed Use category is described as a designation that is applied to those
properties which will be developed or redeveloped solely by private entities. It is
an overlay designation, which provides incentives for redevelopment. The land
uses which are allowed are governed by the underlying land use as shown on the
Future Land Use Map .... A large Scale Mixed Use development shall occur only
through the application of Special Activities District (SAD) zoning. Land which
has a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner; but
may develop pursuant to the underlying (or base) land use designation.
The Swap Shop is the last remaining property in the City with a Large Scale Mixed Use
overlay designation. The overlay designations were created to provide incentives for
redevelopment, but the Large Scale Mixed Use category was never utilized. Therefore,
it has not served its intended purpose. As the property is currently being development
under the GC (General Commercial) underlying land use designation, it is appropriate to
eliminate this designation from the Future Land Use Map.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
must be based upon the following findings:
Q Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The
need must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic
trends, changes in the availability of land, changes in the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a
comprehensive plan objective or policy, or similar circumstances. The need
must be supported by data and analysis. This policy shall not apply to
requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open
Space.
Pursuant to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, land which has a Large
Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner, however it may develop
pursuant to the underlying (or base) land use designation. A Large Scale Mixed Use
development shall occur only through the application of Special Activities District (SAD)
zoning. As the property recently received Conditional Use and site plan approval for a
major redevelopme, nt under the GC zoning designation, and the improvements are
currently being constructed, it is appropriate to remove the overlay designation.
After the removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay category, the property will have
GC (General Commercial) Future Land Use Map and zoning designations. Therefore,
positive findings can be made with respect to Future Land Use Map consistency.
P:,anning and Z.'~ning Board S:aff repo,1.
FLUM Amendment - Remora'. of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation for Delray's Lost Drive-In
Pa_3e 3
~ Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet'the adopted concurrency standards.
In the preparation of the Deiray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations
throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use
pattern as well as the level of services. The removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use
overlay designation will not result in any changes to service demands.
F'I Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
The subject property is bordered by the following zoning designations: to the north and
west is zoned GC; to the south is zoned RM (Medium Density Residential); and to the
east, is zoned Town of Gulf Stream OR (Outdoor Recreation). The surrounding land
uses are: to the north, Second Chance Emporium and Borton Motors; to the west,
across Federal Highway, Del Sol Patio Factory; to the south, Kokomo Key (a multiple
family development); and to the east is a spoil area for dredging the Intracoastal
Waterway (FIND Property).
The elimination of the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay will have no impact with respect
to compatibility. The existing GC FLUM has been deemed compatible with the
surrounding area.
L--'I Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
The requested designation is GC (General Commercial) without the Large Scale Mixed
use overlay. The approved site plan that is currently under construction was approved
pursuant to the GC FLUM and zoning designations, and complies with the applicable
req uirements.
The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the DDA
(Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB (Historic Preservation Board).
Community Redevelopment Agency:
At its meeting of February 25, 1999, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed
and recommended approval of the Future Land Use Map amendment for the Swap
Shop property.

RE: Changes to the CilT's Comprehensive Plan Pertaining to
West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Diane:
We would appreciate it if you would consider in },om' upcoming Comprehensive Plan .4a-nendments.
the following y__eD/import, ant matters concerning West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment:
1. The West Atlantic Avenue "GC Overlay" zoning district should more strongly emphasize
mixed-use development. Referring to Sections 4.4.9(B)(5) and 4.4.9(G)(1)(b), a mixed-use
structure would require SPP,_AB approval. This should be eliminated. The West At/antic
Plan clearly emphasizes mixed-use development.
2. The restriction of residential on the ground floor should be only for property fronting on
West Atlantic Avenue, NW and SW 5'h Avenues. On side streets, residential on the g-round
floor may be perfectly acceptable.
3. The West Atlantic Redevelopment Plan calls for two to four stories of mixed use buildings,
with either residential or office on the upper floors and commercial on the ground floor.
Under the current lin~itation of a "RM" density, 6 to 12 un/ts per acre, no multi-story
structure could be built. We offer that any project over 12 units per acre would require a
conditional use approval. We ask that you add this matter in your Comprehensive Plan
Amendmen! 99-1.
I realize we are ~king you to consider these changes m the last moment, but we are about to sell two
large parcels, Block 2g and Block 36, and we have interest from market-rate, multi-family
developers. Having market-ra~e housing would be a big economic boost to West Atlantic Avenue.
Thank you tbr your consideration.

Staff suggested that given the Iow deqsity residential developments north and south of
the redevelopment area, the density could be limited to a maximum of 30 units per acre,
with density increases over 12 units per acre subject to a conditional use approval. The
Board agreed that the increase should be subject to Conditional Use approval, but didn't
feel it was appropriate to establish a maximum.
Staff noted that there are special regulations pertaining to the West Atlantic Avenue
Overlay District that would ultimately limit the density, such as a 48' height limitation
west of NW 3rd Avenue and SW 4th Avenue, and limitation of the depth of
commercial/mixed use structures to 150', with a depth up to 300' allowed as a
Conditional Use. After further discussion, the Board unanimously recommended that an
amendment be processed with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 to increase the
residential density in mixed-use projects within the West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment
area, without a density limitation, as a Conditional Use and subject to performance
standards. Once the Comprehensive Plan amendment is adopted, an LDR amendment
will be processed to include the language within the GC zoning district regulations.

Request Letter
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION
The item before the City Commission is a text amendment to the Future Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan regarding the description of the General
Commercial land use category to establish density, and adding Policy A-5.6 to
accommodate an increase in density in the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
section of the General Commercial zoning district, pursuant to LDR Section 9.2.1
(Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On March 10, 1999, the Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency submitted a
request that an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan be processed in conjunction
with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 to allow an increase in residential density
as a Conditional Use, within the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area. The CRA
has aggregated properties for redevelopment within Block 28 and 36 in the West
Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area, and developers are interested in providing
market-rate multiple family housing.
The current description of the General Commercial land use category which is
contained in the Comprehensive Plan does not reference a maximum density. In the
General Commercial (GC) zoning district, stand-alone multiple family developments are
allowed subject to the RM zone district regulations, which allow a density up to 12 units
per acre. Thus, it is inferred that the maximum residential density for mixed-use
developments is also 12 units per acre.
The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan calls for two to four story mixed use
buildings with either residential or office on the upper floors. Under the current
regulations, residential uses would be generally limited to one floor only. The intent of
the mixed-use scenario is to provide residences to support the commercial and service
uses in the redevelopment area, and to encourage economic development. The
increased density should be applied to the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District similar
to that which was approved for the City's Central Business District. However,
elsewhere within the City, the density should be limited to 12 units per acre for
properties with a General Commercial land use designation, as many of them abut Iow
density residential areas and are strip commercial in character with shallow depths.
I ~ ~ pLANNING AND.ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION '', )
At its meeting of March 15, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the
Community Redevelopment Agency's request to allow increased density in the West
Atlantic Avenue area. There were several members of the public from the West Atlantic
area who spoke in favor of the density increase.

Formal public notice has been provided to all property owners within a 500 foot radius of
the subject property. Let'ters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment removing the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay
designation is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of
the Land Development Regulations. Removal of the Overlay designation is appropriate
as the site was recently granted conditional use and site plan approval to redevelop and
expand the existing flea market and those improvements are under construction. As this
is the only property in the City with this overlay designation, the designation itself is
being eliminated from the Comprehensive Plan.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF OCTOBER 19, 1999 ** PUBLIC HEARING **
ADOPTION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 was transmitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for review following a public hearing held by the City Commission on
April 20, 1999. This meeting was also the first reading of the Adoption Ordinance (No. 14-99).
DCA staff reviewed the amendment and issued their Objections, Recommendations, and
Comments (ORC) Report on August 5, 1999.
The attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report contains a description of each of the
objections and the recommended response. The amendment that was originally before the
Commission in April has been revised to incorporate the changes suggested by DCA, and
recommendations made by the Planning and Zoning Board.
il
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the ORC report at a public hearing on September
27, 1999. CRA Director Chris Brown spoke regarding the proposed changes being made in
response to the ORC, establishing a percentage mix of commercial and residential uses in the
West Atlantic Redevelopment Area Oveday. In response to his comments and the
recommendation of the CRA Board, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended that
residential uses be allowed to comprise up to 50% of the floor area within the West Atlantic
Avenue Overlay, and up to 15% throughout the balance of the GC-zoned areas of the City. The
Planning and Zoning Board recommended adoption of the amendment, with the residential
percentage change, on a unanimous 7-0 vote.
By motion, approve on second and final reading Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1

allowed. Also, delete an5' references to zoning categories, and, based on relevant data and
analysis, establish standards for densities and intensities for the Mixed Use land use category
within the comprehensive plan. These standards, once developed and established by policy,
would permit an analysis of the maximum impact of the development being proposed.

MEETING OF: SEPTEMBER 27, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: IV.B: CONSIDERATION OF THE ORC (OBJECTIONS,
RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS) REPORT REGARDING
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
The item before the Board is that of forwarding a recommendation to City Commission
regarding the ORC report from the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA)addressing
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1. ·
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 was transmitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for review following a public hearing held by the City Commission on
April 20, 1999. This meeting was also the first reading of the Adoption Ordinance (No. 14-99).
The items which are included in the Plan Amendment are summarized below and include two
amendments to the Future Land Use Map and several text changes and modifications to
exhibits (maps and tables). Full analysis of each of the following items is contained in the
attached Comprehensive Plan amendment, excluding the changes to the "Other Mixed Use"
designation. Based upon the ORC, staff is recommending that those changes not be adopted
at this time.
Future Land Use Map amendments including:
· City initiated Future Land Use Map amendment for the Delray Oaks Preserve from
Transitional to Open Space-Conservation.
· City initiated Future Land Use Map amendment for the Delray's Lost Drive-In to eliminate
the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay.
Text amendments including:
Future Land Use Element
· Modification of Future Land Use Element Policy C-2.1 regarding designated redevelopment
areas, to delete the requirement that a Redevelopment Plan be adopted prior to the
expenditure of public funds for infrastructure.
· Modifying the General Commercial land use description to eliminate a prohibition of
residential uses unless they are in conjunction with commercial uses, and to allow increased
densities for the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area.
· Modification of the Conservation land use description to correct the land use designation to
indicate "Open Space -Conservation" versus the current "Recreation and Open Space."
· Elimination of the Large Scale Mixed Use description.
P&Z Board staff report

· Modification of the "Other Mixed-Use" category to better reflect the Old School Square
Historic Arts Zoning District (deleted in response to the ORC).
· Modification of Table L-7 to eliminate the Large Scale Mixed Use category.
· Modification of Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 to allow the requirement for data and
analysis in support of land use amendments to be waived if associated with annexation.
Capital Improvement Element
· The Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (Table CI-CIP), which is modified to reflect
changes associated with the adopted 1999/00 Capital Improvement budget.
Housing Element
· Modification of Housing Policy A-12.4 relating to adoption of LDR regulations to limit the size
and scale of new homes.
Conservation Element
· Modification of the Needs and Recommendation section of the Conservation Element
removing the reference to establishment of an interpretive trail at the Leon Weekes
Environmental Preserve as the policy has been accomplished.
· Eliminate Policy B-1.3 that refers to development of Leon Weekes interpretive trail.
Transportation Element
· Modification of Table T-1 to reflect reduced lanes (3 to 2) for Federal Highway pairs between
SE 10th Street and George Bush Boulevard to be consistent with the 2020 Transportation
Plan adopted by the MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization).
· Modification of Maps #20 and #21 to note 2 lane one-way for Federal Highway pairs from
SE 10t~ Street to George Bush Boulevard.
· Amendment to Objective A-4 to reflect Table T-1 versus Table T-4.
DCA staff reviewed the amendment and issued attached Objections, Recommendations, and
Comments (ORC) Report on August 5, 1999. The ORC report contains several objections,
most of which deal with a need to specify densities and intensity levels for land use categories
contained within the Plan. Pursuant to statutory requirements, the City has 60 days fromreceipt
of the report in which to adopt, adopt with changes, or determine that the City will not adopt the
proposed amendment.
Planning and Zoning staff has reviewed the objections, and has had several phone
conversations with the staff of DCA to discuss how each might be addressed. It is noted that
many of the objections relate to aspects of the Plan that were previously acceptable to DCA,
even through the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process, and that were not being
changed with this amendment. In other words, DCA has broadened the scope of its review
beyond the actual amendment language. While this may not seem appropriate, there does not
appear to be much choice in the matter if the amendments are to be processed.
P&Z Board staff report
IV.B. Consideration of ORC Report 99-1
Page 3
The following is a description of each of the objections and the recommended response.
Future Land Use Element
ORC Objection: Densities and Intensities of Use - New Policy A-5.6 and the Genera/
Commercial land use category being amended and as established through Po/icy A-1.1, which
establishes the City's land use classifications, do not contain sufficient density and intensity
standards. For instance, there is no upper density established for the residential component of
the Genera/Commercial category. Also, there are no standards that establish the intensity of
use for the commercial category. Without these density and intensity standards, the maximum
impact of a plan amendment cannot be determined. These standards are not otherwise found
in any other policy in the Plan.
Response: The General Commercial land use description that is contained in the current
Comprehensive Plan is largely unchanged since 1989. It does not now (nor has it ever) specify
densities and intensities, in terms of units per acre, floor area ratios, etc. It states that
residential uses are permitted only in conjunction with a commercial use, but does not specify a
density limit. It is noted that the General Commercial zoning district itself, which is most
frequently applied to land having a GC land use, allows stand-alone residential as a conditional
use, pursuant to the RM (Medium Density) zoning standards (maximum 12 units per acre). The
purpose of amending the GC land use description was to a) correct the inconsistency between
the land use and zoning descriptions regarding stand-alone residential uses, and b) establish
the maximum allowable density. The original amendment language would have limited the
density to 12 units per acre.
During the processing of the amendment, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
requested that a greater density be permitted within the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Area, via the Conditional Use process and subject to the same performance standards that
apply in the Central Business District. At the March P & Z transmittal hearing for the
amendment, CRA Director Chris Brown, West Atlantic Avenue Coordinator John Patterson, and
West Atlantic business owners Clay Wideman and Lamar Shuler spoke in favor of allowing the
additional density. The Board discussed whether or not a maximum unit-per-acre should be
specified, but after some discussion it was determined that the ultimate density would be limited
by such development standards as maximum building height and coverage, setbacks, minimum
dwelling unit sizes, and parking requirements. The amendment was transmitted as attached,
with a density of up to 12 units per acre for all of the GC areas except the West Atlantic Avenue
overlay, where there would be no specified units per acre maximum.
DCA is now requesting that a maximum dwelling unit/acre be specified for West Atlantic.
Further, they are asking for maximum intensity standards for nonresidential floor area as well,
for all areas having a GC land use, even though the amendment was not addressing
nonresidential uses. In order to satisfy their request, staff is proposing that the language be
amended to add a maximum density of 85 units per acre for the West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Area. This maximum is theoretically possible under the GC zoning district
development standards, given the 75% maximum lot coverage and 4 story height limit (32,670
sq.ft. / 1,540 x 4 stories = 85 units per acre). The 32,670 sq.ft.represents 75% of an acre while
the 1,540 sq.ft, per unit assumes a 1,000 sq.ft, unit and 540 sq. ft. for parking (2 spaces + one
half drive aisle). It is noted that achieving densities of this magnitude are very unlikely given the
required performance standards, and other requirements in the LDR's. To address the lack of
intensity standards for commercial uses it is recommended that a maximum Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) of 3.0 be added to the amendment language. This maximum is also theoretically
possible under the GC zoning district regulations, given the 75% maximum lot coverage and 4-
story height limit.

IV.B. Consideration of ORC Report 99-1
Page 4
ORC Objection: Mixed Use Standards - The Genera/ Commercial land use category by
a/lowing two simultaneous uses, residential and commercial, comprises a mixed use district.
The poficy does not establish the percentage distribution among the mix of the two uses.
Without this standard, the maximum impact of a plan amendment cannot be determined.
Response: Areas of the City that are designated General Commercial are overwhelmingly
developed for commercial purposes. However, the ability does exist to include residential uses.
As with the density/intensity standards, t~e land use description in the Comp Plan has never
stated a percentage mix, and this is the first time DCA has stated that such language is
necessary. In order to preserve maximum flexibility under a Mixed-Use scenario, additional
language will be added to the proposed General Commercial land use description to allow
between a 0% to 15% residential component within the overall district. Thus, individual
developments will not be required to provide a mix, rather, the percentage will apply Citywide for
all property having a GC FLUM designation. This will require some tracking of uses by the City
on a long-term basis to ensure that the stated maximum is not exceeded.
ORC Objection: Densities and Intensit~s of Use - The modifications to the FLUM category,
Other Mixed Use, as referenced by Policy A-I. 1, which establishes the City's land use
classifications, does not contain any density and intensity standards. For instance, there are no
upper or lower densities established for the residential use of the Mixed Use category. The
standards are not otherwise found in any other policy in the Plan. Without these standards, the
maximum impact of a plan amendment cannot be determined.
Response: The purpose of this amendment was to modify the current Mixed Use land use
description to better describe the Old School Square Historic Arts District. The current
description does not specify densities and intensities, but refers to the zoning district for those
standards. The proposed language woutd have been an improvement, but again, DCA is now
asking for even more specific language. At this time the City is not ready to establish residential
densities and intensities for this FLUM designation. As this was more of a corrective
amendment than anything, the easiest way to address this objection is to not adopt the revised
description. This means that the existincj, poorly written description will be retained until such
time that a more detailed analysis of the appropriate densities and intensities can be conducted.
ORC Objection: Mixed Use Standards - The new Mixed Use land use category does not
contain a percentage distribution among the mix or other objective measurement of the types of
land use allowed. The extent of each land use category cannot be determined which does not
allow the maximum impact of a plan amendment cannot be determined.
Response: As noted with the previous objection the City is not ready to establish the
percentage of mixed-use categories in the~ OSSHAD district at this time. Therefore the revision
to the Mixed-use designation should not be~ adopted at this time.
ORC Objection: Intensities of Use - 'F'ne modifications to the FLUM category, Conservation
Land Use and Open Space-Conservation, as referenced by Policy A-1.1, which establishes the
City's land use classifications, do not contain any intensity standards. These intensity standards
are not otherwise found in any other policy in the Plan. Without limits on the amount of
development that may take place within the Conservation Land Use and Open Space-
Conservation categories, the City cannot be assured that the stated purposes of these two
districts will be achieved.
Response: This change to the Conservation Land Use descriptions identifies the appropriate
land use designation for conservation parcels as "Open Space-Conservation" rather than
P&Z Board staff report
IV.B. Consideration of ORC Report 99-1
Page 5
"Recreation and Open Space." Again, this change was corrective in nature, but DCA is taking a
broader approach to their review. They have, however, agreed to accept a reference in the
Conservation Land Use description that will refer to policies within the Conservation Element for
specifics on the appropriate intensity of development for this FLUM category.
ORC Objection: Lack of Data and Analysis - The modification of Policy A-1.7 which would
allow the waiving of required data and analysis to support proposed FLUM amendments
regarding annexed areas is contrary to statutory and rule requirements for plan amendments.
Plan amendments are required to be supported by and must contain appropriate data and
analysis.
Response: All land use amendments Rat the City transmits to DCA are supported by data and
analysis, which is included in the staff ~ports. FLUM amendments for areas being annexed are
no exception. The data and analysis proposed for waiver in the amendment refers to additional
justification required by the City, not by the State, pursuant to Future Land Use Element Policy
A.1.7. To address the objection, further clarification has been added to clearly indicate what
type of data and analysis may be waived for annexation areas.
By motion, recommend that the C.~, Commission approve on second and final reading
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 with the proposed changes to address the ORC report.

1) Location: Pg. FL-32, Policy C-2.1, (Redevelopment Areas)
Changes center on deletion of the requirement that a redevelopment plan be adopted
prior to the expenditure of public funds for infrastructure.
See Support Documents #1 (Redevelopment Areas memorandum staff report) for a
complete discussion of this item.
2) Location: Pg. FL-42, (General Commercial Future Land Use Description)
General Commercial: This designation is applied to land, which is, or should be,
developed for general commercial purposes e.g. retail, office, services. Light industrial
type uses such as fabrication and assembly are permissible under this designation
when located in the special overlay district between Federal Highway and Dixie
Highway, north of N.E. 14th Street to the north City limit. Residential uses, unless they
are in conjunction with a commercial use, are not permissible on land shown as General
Commercial on the Future Land Use Map.

,-. ...... ~o~ ,.,. ,~,. ,-,,, .... ~ .~,..~ ~o,. ~A..,-, Residential uses are permitted in specific
zoning districts either in conjunction with a commercial use, or as a stand alone use
subject to Conditional Use approval. Residential density is limited to a maximum of 12
dwelling units per acre, except within the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay where the
density may exceed 12 units per acre subject to Conditional Use approval.
Comment: The statement being eliminated is currently inconsistent with the Land
Development Regulations which allows stand alone residential developments as
conditional uses within General and Planned Commercial zoning districts. Both of these
zoning districts are listed as consistent with the General Commercial Land Use Map
designation, and create a conflict with respect to residential uses. Residential densities
are limited to 12 units per acre in the General Commercial land use categories. The
Page 3
language relating to increases above 12 units per acre in the West Atlantic Avenue
Overlay District is being added at the request of the Community Redevelopment
Agency. See Support Document #10 for complete discussion on densities within the
West Atlantic Overlay District.
3) Location: Pg. FL-42 (Conservation Future Land Use Description)
CONSERVATION LAND USE: This designation applies to those specific properties
identified in the Conservation Element as land to be preserved. No other land use is
appropriate. These properties shall be either placed into public ownership or developed
only as allowed by policies of the Conservation Element. They are shown on the Future
Land Use Map under the Recreational and Open Space designation.

CONSERVATION LAND USE: This designation applies to those specific properties
identified in the Conservation Element as land to be preserved. No other land use is
appropriate. These properties shall be either placed into public ownership or developed
only as allowed by policies of the Conservation Element. They are shown on the Future
Land Use Map under the P. ecr~at!c.",a! and Open Space - Conservation designation.
Comment: The Recreation and Open Space land use designation allows for more
active recreational use of an area which may be inconsistent with the conservation of
the land, It is noted the Open Space-Conservation land use designation is consistent
with zoning designations which allow passive use such as hiking trails and passive
parks.
4) Location: Pg. FL-43, (Large Scale Mixed Use Description)
Changes involve eliminating the Large Scale Mixed Use Lan'd use category. After the
modification proposed for the Lost Delray Drive-In (removal of the Large-Scale
category) no other property will have that designation. Further, there are no other
properties in the City or in the City's Planning Area which are appropriate for this
designation.
See Support Documents #2 ( Mixed Use Future Land Use categories memorandum
staff report) for a complete discussion of this item.
5) Location: Pg. FL -43, ( Mixed-Use Future Land Use Description)
Changes involve modifying the land use description to better reflect the uses of the Old
School Square Historic Arts District for which it was created.
See Support Documents #2 (Mixed Use Land Use Categories Staff Report) for a
complete discussion of this item.
Page 4
6) Location: Pg. FL-45,Table L-7
The table is being modified to eliminate the Large Scale Mixed Use Land Use category
from the land Use matrix. The current amendment includes a land use amendment
removing the Large-Scale designation for the last parcel in the City and includes
elimination of the text description of the category.
See Support Documents #2 (Mixed Use Land Use Categories Staff Report) for a
complete discussion and revised table.
7) Location: Pg. FL-23, Policy A-1.7
Policy A-1.7 Amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) must be based upon
the following findings:
[] Demonstrated Need - That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy, or
similar circumstances. The need must be supported by data and analysis. This
policy shall not apply to requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or
Recreation and Open Space
[] Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with goals, objectives, and
policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
[] Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
= Compatibility - The requested designation will be compatible with existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area.
= Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
Change: REVISION
Policy A-1.7 Amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) must be based upon
the following findings:
[] Demonstrated Need - That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy,
annexation into the municipal boundaries, or similar circumstances. The need must
be supported by data and analysis. This policy shall not apply to requests for the
FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space. The need for
Page 5
data and analysis may be waived by the Planning and Zoning Director for FLUM
changes associated with annexations when the City's advisory FLUM designation is
being applied, or when the requested designation is of a similar intensity to the
advisory designation.
Consistency - The requested designation is consistent with goals, objectives, and
policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Concurrency - Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
Compatibility - The requested designation will be compatible with existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area.
[] Compliance - Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Comment: The City has applied advisory land use designations to areas in the City's
Future Annexation Area. These designations were selected given the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding areas. Therefore, in most cases when
annexations include the application of the advisory designations or designations of
similar intensity demonstrated need has been previously established.
8) Location: Pg. FL-26, New Policy A-5.6
Change: NEW POLICY
Policy A-5.6 The City shall amend the General Commercial (GC) zoning distdct to
accommodate increased multiple family densities over 12 units per acre, as a
Conditional Use in the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District.
Comment: See Support Document #10 (Densities within the General Commercial
Land Use category and the West Atlantic Overlay District) for a complete discussion of
this item.
AMENDMENTS TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
Delray Oaks:
A City initiated change to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the 24.52 acre Delray
Oaks Preserve. The request involves a FLUM amendment from TRN (Transitional) to
OS-C (Open Space- Conservation).

See Support Document #9 (Delray's Lost Drive-In FLUM Amendment) for a complete
discussion of this item.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT:
1) Location: Pg. Cl 28-30 (5-Year Capital Improvement Schedule)
Changes involve modifying the Five-Year schedule of Capital improvements to reflect
changes associated with the adoption of the 1998/99 Capital improvement budget. The
changes involve deletion of projects completed in the previous years and addition of
new projects, elimination of projects or expenditures no longer desired, and prioritization
of current and new projects.
See Support Document #3 (Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements) for the
completed table.
HOUSING ELEMENT

Policy A-12.4 In order to help preserve the character and scale of the City's
neighborhoods, measures shall be taken to mitigate the impacts of the "mansionization
trend. In FY 97/98, the City shall adopt regulations to limit the size and scale of new
homes in order to ensure that they are compatible with the City's existing, older housing
stock. The City will provide planning and technical assistance to implement
neighborhood-supported initiatives aimed at preserving the character of existing
residential areas. Such assistance may involve the formulation of regulations that
would limit the size and scale of new homes to be consistent with existing structures
within a defined neighborhood, an analysis of the housing inventory to determine if the
area qualifies for designation as a historic district, and similar measures.

residential areas. Such assistance may involve the formulation of regulations that
would limit the size and scale of new homes to be consistent with existing structures
within a defined neighborhood, an analysis of the housing inventory to determine if the

Comment: An ordinance regulating the size and scale of homes failed to pass in 1997.
The issue was referred back to the Planning staff and a planning consultant for
additional review and input. ^ revised ordinance was considered by the City
Commission in November, '1998. After much discussion the Commission voted not to
adopt the ordinance. Commission members felt they would rather apply rules to
individual neighborhoods, if the majority of residents in those neighborhoods support the

REDEVELOPMENT AREAS STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 15, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: IV.F.I - AMENDMENT TO FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
POLICY C-2.1 REGARDING REDEVELOPMENT AREAS.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding an amendment to Future Land Use Element Policies C-2.1, C-2.3, C-2.4, and
C-2o6 of the Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to LDR Section 9.2.1 (Amendment of the
Comprehensive Plan).
At its meeting of March 2, 1999, the City Commission initiated Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 99-1. At that meeting, the Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD)
requested that Future Land Use Element Policy C-2.1, be changed so that unpaved
streets within designated redevelopment areas can be paved prior to adoption of a
redevelopment plan. Currently, Policy C-2.1 states that "until such time as a
redevelopment plan is prepared and adopted for such an area, public investment - in
terms of infrastructure - shall be minimal." In order to allow the City more flexibility to
address the needs of these areas, it seems appropriate to amend this policy. In
addition, the scheduled dates for completion of the plans are being adjusted.
By motion, recommend to the City Commission an amendment to Future Land Use
Element Policies C-2.1, C-2.3, C-2.4, and C-2.6 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Attachments: Text Changes
Request Letter
Adoption of the Redevelopment Plan represents Phase I of the redevelopment strategy
for the area. Phase II consists of an economic development strategy to be developed
by the CRA, based on the Redevelopment Plan, and a market study. The economic
development strategy will be completed by Fiscal Year 97/98.
Policy C-'1.6 The following pertains to the redevelopment of the Silver Terrace Area:
This area involves the old Silver Terrace Subdivision which contains some mixed use
but is primarily single family. It also involves the adjacent land use of the FIoranda
Mobile Home Park which is a well maintained land use but which may, in the future, be
inappropriate for its location along Federal Highway adjacent to a regional shopping
center. The Silver Terrace Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission
on March 5, 1996. The plan establishes Future Land Use Map designations, zonings,
and special development standards for the redevelopment area. Future development in
the area must be in accordance with the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan.
Objective C-2
The City, through its Planning & Zoning Department, shall evaluate the continued need
for specific redevelopment plans to address the following geographic areas. The
evaluations shall be completed, and recommendations presented to the Planning &
Zoning Board by the end of FY 97/98. Should the need for redevelopment plans be
demonstrated, they shall be added to the Department's adopted Work Program. Until
the evaluation is complete, the policies referring to redevelopment areas will be
maintained.

plan is completed; or,
Consideration of the use request on its own merits with the existing zoning and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan guiding the disposition of the request.
FL - 32
Policy C-2.3 The following pertains to the Wallace Drive Industrial Area:
This area shall be primarily industrial (LI Zoning) with an emphasis on commerce uses
(PCC, MIC zone districts). The City, through its water and sewer capital improvement
program, shall install water and sewer mains throughout the area. Unimproved and
underimproved rights-of-way shall be abandoned when it facilitates the aggregation of
parcels and larger scale development provided that the right-of-way is not essential for
traffic flow purposes. Support uses for the existing automobile dealership uses are
encouraged. All commercial uses shall be allowed with the exception of "strip-type"
development along Wallace Drive which is not desired because of traffic conflicts along
this collector street.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 98~99/2000 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan amendment.
Policy C-2.4 The following pertains to the vicinity of Lindell and Federal Highway:
This area extends from the C-15 Canal northward between Federal and Dixie
Highways. The area does not include the existing (Honda) automobile dealership but
does include the mobile home park north of it. Half of the land is vacant, almost half is
underutilized as a substandard trailer park, and a few lots have residences upon them.
While any commercial use is allowable, the future use of the property is most
appropriate for specialized commercial or recreational activities. An effort shall be
made to promote aggregation of parcels prior to any further development.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 87/8899/2000 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan amendment.
Policy C-2.$ The following pertains to the area on both sides of S.W. 4th Avenue, north
of Linton Boulevard.
This area involves warehouses, heavy industrial use, sporadic residential uses, and
vacant land. The vacant land was platted as a part of the Woods of Southridge
Subdivision. Residential use is most appropriate for the area west of S.W. 4th Avenue.
Industrial and office uses are appropriate east of S.W. 4th Avenue.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY 98~99 and shall be adopted through a
comprehensive plan amendment.
Policy C-2.6 The following pertains to the area bounded by S.E. 2nd Street, Federal
Highway, S.E. 5th Street, and Swinton Avenue (Osceola Park area):
FL - 33
This area has industrial uses with inadequate parking t~.the west, commercial uses to
the east, and a mixed residential area which has turned mainly into renter-occupied
units. It is also encompassed by wellfield protection zones. The primary focus of this
redevelopment plan shall be to arrest deterioration, provide adequate parking and
services for the existing industrial and commercial areas, and accommodate housing
which is compatible with the other uses.
The issues relating to industrial uses within this area were addressed within the new
CDB-RC zoning district, created on May 16, 1995. Therefore, the redevelopment plan
for this area will focus on the residential neighborhood.
The plan will, at a minimum address the following issues:
[] Appropriateness of the existing RM zoning district within the area.
[] Use of traffic-calming measures to reduce speed and volume of traffic on the
residential streets within the area.
Potential for creation of a historic district within the area.
[] Landscape beautification.
[] Improvement of existing housing stock.
This redevelopment plan shall be prepared in FY g-7-/98/99 and shall be adopted
through a comprehensive plan amendment.
Objective C-3
Economic development is an essential component of the redevelopment and renewal
efforts which are directed to the future of the City of Delray Beach. Specific efforts for
the coordination and provision of economic development activities shall be centered in
the City Administration's Development Services Management Group. Those efforts
shall be governed by the following policies.
Policy C-3.1 The City of Delray Beach hereby acknowledges the role of Culture and
the Arts in Economic Development and pledges in pursuit of a theme of this
Comprehensive Plan -- A Renaissance Community -- the promotion of the arts and
accommodation of cultural activities for economic development ends.
Policy C-3.2 The successful development of the Old School Square Project is the
cornerstone to the rebirth of the economic vitality of the community. To further
accommodate this activity, the City shall evaluate the potential for the acquisition of
land in the Old School Square area of the City for the purpose of improving public
parking and/or creating a linkage between Old School Square and governmental
facilities to the west.

Vice President
Progressive Residents of Delray voted at their February Board meeting
Jayne King voted to ask the city to change our Comprehensive Plan policy C-2 so that
Secretary the unpaved streets in our city can be paved by the city. The streets may be
in a redevelopment area but the probability of any of them being done by a
Gretchen Bacon
Treasurer developer are next to non. Eighth Ave and 11 street and the street off
fourth Ave. are partially developed and will attract builders if they are
Board Me~bers paved. Why 11 street is partially paved and partially not paved makes no
sense at all. The one block on north Frederick offLa Mat is another where
ltelen Coopersmith the no development will pay for the street. Mr. Columbi owns the square
it.lt. B00~inder block on Federal and has access to three streets now. It is time to bite the
bullet and help these people. The areas will improve if the streets are
Gerald DeFoe paved.
Norman ltaslow Again we are formally requesting that the Comprehensive Plan policy be
Jo Ann Peart changed as soon as possible.
Bill Schwartz. Sincerely,

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
MIXED USE LAND USE STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 15, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: IV.F.1 - AMENDMENT TO FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
REGARDING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MIXED USE
LAND USE CATEGORIES
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding a text amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive
Plan regarding the description of the mixed use land use categories, pursuant to LDR
Section 9.2.1 (Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan).
Lar. qe Scale Mixed Use:
The large scale mixed use land use designation is an overlay district which was created
to provide incentives for redevelopment of properties not located within designated
redevelopment areas, and which were to be developed solely by private entities. With
the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in November
1989, the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay district was adopted and applied to two
properties on North Federal Highway - the Kokomo Key townhouse development and
the Delray Swap Shop/Delray's Lost Drive-In. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was
being developed in 1988, a mixed use development known as Marina Cay was
approved for the property but was not built. In 1995, site plan approval was obtained to
construct the Kokomo Key townhouse development, which has been constructed. In
1995, with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-1, the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay
designation was removed from the Marina Cay/Kokomo Key property, as it was no
longer applicable.
In 1998, conditional use and site plan approvals were obtained for Delray's Lost Drive-In
(fka Delray Swap Shop), and the improvements are currently under construction. With
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1, a separate Future Land Use Map amendment
is being processed to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay from the Lost Drive-In
property, as it is no longer applicable. Further, the North Federal Highway
redevelopment plan has been adopted which calls for mixed use development along
Federal Highway, which can be accommodated under the GC (General Commercial)
zoning designation.
The Large Scale Mixed Use overlay has existed for 10 years without any developer
taking advantage of the incentives for increasing the base residential density or the
commercial floor area. As the designation was only applied to two properties, which
have been developed under conventional zoning without the incentives, it is not
necessary to retain the designation. In addition to the above, as the Large Scale Mixed
CPA 99-1- Text Amendment - FLUE Mixed Land Use Categories
Page 2
Use overlay designation is being eliminated, FLUE Policy C-2.2 regarding the same will
also be deleted.
Other Mixed Use:
With the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in
November 1989, the Other Mixed Use (OMU) pattern was applied to the Old School
Square Historic District, the Holland property (now Linton Office Park), and until 1995,
the Blood's Grove property (now Hammock Reserve subdivision). The OMU
designation has a random pattern and the zoning designations do not have to be
congruent with the FLUM category. The description of the category is lengthy and
references conventional zoning districts through a planned development approach (i.e.
PCC, PRD, etc.). The OMU does not provide redevelopment incentives which were
previously identified with the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay. While the description
references other conventional zoning districts as well as SAD (Special Activities District)
zoning, Table L-7 (Land Use Designation/Zoning Matrix) indicates that the OMU
designation is only consistent with the Old School Square Historic Arts District
(OSSHAD), Community Facilities (CF), and Agriculture (A) zoning districts. As the
OMU category is only applied to the Old School Square Historic District, the description
of the category should be focussed on historic preservation and mix of uses, and all
other references eliminated.
Redevelopment Areas:
In addition, some minor technical changes are being made to the Redevelopment Area
category.

By motion, recommend to the City Commission approval of the text amendments to the
Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan regarding the description of the
Mixed Use Categories.

Other It'll×ed Ucc MIXED USE: This desiqnation is applied to the maiority of the
properties located in the Old School Square Historic District, and is specially created to
accommodate the mix of uses anticipated in the aforementioned District. The
designation is located within the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area described
in the Future Land Use Element and graphically shown in Fiqure L-8. The Mixed Use
designation accommodates a variety of uses includinq limited commercial and office
development; Iow densitg sin.qle family and duplex development; multiple family units
only in coniunction with a non-residential use (i.e. mixed use development); and uses

those areas which have been identified in the Future Land Use Element as being in
need of redevelopment. Development shall occur pursuant to a specific "redevelopment
plan" which is to be prepared pursuant to Objective C-2 of the Future Land Use
Element. If a development proposal is presented to the City prior to the creation and
adoption of a redevelopment plan, that proposal shall be handled in one of the following
ways:
the application shall be placed on hold for not more than six months while the
redevelopment plan is prepared;
the application shall be processed on a case-by-case basis with the existing zoning
map, the Future Land Use Element, and the Housing Element providing the Local
Planning Agency with the policy guidance needed to properly dispose of the
application.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 99-1
FDOT ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL HIGHWAY
MEMORANDUM
To: Paul Dorling, Acting Director of Planning and Zoning
From: John Walker, Project Coordinator_~
Date: July 27, 1998
Subject: Federal Highway One-Way Pair
The City Manager has requested a reduction in the ultimate section of the one-
way pair segment of North Federal Highway (5th and 6th Avenues) from 3 lanes
to 2 lanes in each direction. This reduction would accommodate sidewalk
widening and streetscape enhancement in the segment. The attached memo
from FDOT indicates that the segment will operate at acceptable LOS with the
proposed lane reduction. You have already coordinated with MPO to modify
their future plans for the segment.
It would be appropriate to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the change
in the ultimate section. A review of the Plan finds that the following maps and
tables may require amendment:
· Table T-1 should be changed from 3 lanes to 2 lanes for the ultimate section.
· Maps #20'and 21 should be changed to indicate 2 lanes as the 2015
operating condition.
These changes could be made as part of the adoption of Plan Amendment 98-1.
When the adopted Plan Amendment is transmitted back to DCA for review (with
the FDOT memo as background), these new changes would be noted as not
previously reviewed. Since FDOT is in support of the change, DCA should have
no problem with the change. In addition, as a streetscape project develops, it
would be appropriate to amend the Comprehensive Plan further in a future
amendment by adding a policy calling for streetscape improvements in the
segment.

SUBJECT: SR 5/US-I One-Way Pair in Delray Beach
Evaluation of Proposed Changes
The study corridor of SR 5/US-1 approximately from S.E. 10th Street to Bond Way is a one-way
pair roadway with three lanes in each direction. The City of Delray Beach proposes to decrease
the number of lanes from three to two lanes (with on-street parking) in this one-way pair section
of U.S. 1.
The following analysis estimates the Level of Service (LOS) of the study section under existing
and proposed conditions. The 1997 field counts were available and projected (year 2020)
volumes were calculated by assuming a Cumulative Growth Rate of one percent from the present
year. Table 1 shows the existing and proposed volumes on US-1 at two locations - north and
south of Atlantic Avenue. In addition, the table shows the expected LOS on US-1 with the 6-lane
(existing laneage) and 4-lane (proposed laneage) geometry, both as one-way pair alternatives.

* Adopted LOS in City's Comprehensive PIm~
** Estimated Capacity (reduced by 10% accotmnodate parking maneuvers) - used in Table I Analysis
In addition, both the Palm Beach MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and
Comprehensive Plans include the one-way pair section of US-1 as a 6-lane one-way pair
roadway. However, an exception is a section of US-1 to the north of N.W. 8th Street (George
Bush Boulevard) which is shown as a regular 4-lane roadway. Finally, a portion of the study
section between S.E. 3rd Street and N.E. 4th Street is a Transportation Concurrency Exception
Area (map attached).
In conclusion, this analysis shows that the study section would operate at an acceptable LOS,
even with the reduction of number of lanes from three to two lanes on each leg of the one-way
pair. The amendment of both the LRTP and Comprehensive Plans is the most appropriate
approach for the City to pursue reducing the laneage on US-1. The Palm Beach LRTP is currently
being updated and should be finalized by December 1998.

Subject: Traffic Forecast for US-1 North and South of Atlantic Avenue in Dekay Beach
· Three transportation models reviewed for analysis, CF15, SERPM4, and
the work model used for the US-1/Dixie Highway alternative in the
Boca/Dekay Area.
· Forecast volumes using regression analysis for all model altematives
indicated minimal growth. The highlighted columns on the regression
worksheet indicate the SERPM4 analysis.
· Recommendation for this analysis is 0.5 to 1% CGR for projection. This
growth rate suggests a 2020 projection of+/- 32,000.

On March 10, 1999, the Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency submitted a
request that an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan be processed in conjunction
with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 to allow an increase in residential density
as a Conditional Use, within the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area. The CRA
has aggregated properties for redevelopment within Block 28 and 36 in the West
Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area, and developers are interested in providing
market-rate multiple family housing.
The current description of the General Commercial land use category which is
contained in the Comprehensive Plan does not reference a maximum density. In the
General Commercial (GC) zoning district, stand-alone multiple family developments are
allowed subject to the RM zone district regulations, which allow a density up to 12 units
per acre. Thus, it is inferred that the maximum residential density for mixed-use
developments is also 12 units per acre..
The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan calls for two to four story mixed use
buildings with either residential or office on the upper floors. Under the current
regulations, residential uses would be generally limited to one floor only. The intent of
the mixed-use scenario is to provide residences to support the commercial and service
uses in the redevelopment area, and to encourage economic development. The
increased density should be applied to the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District similar
to that which was approved for the City's Central Business District. However,
elsewhere within the City, the density should be limited to 12 units per acre for
properties with a General Commercial land use designation, as many of them abut Iow
density residential areas and are strip commercial in character with shallow depths.
At its meeting of March 15, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the
Community Redevelopment Agency's request to allow increased density in the West
Atlantic Avenue area. There were several members of the public from the West Atlantic
area who spoke in favor of the density increase.
City Commission Documentation
Meeting of April 20, 1999
Page 3 ,.
Staff suggested that given the Iow density residential developments north and south of
the redevelopment area, the density could be limited to a maximum of 30 units per acre,
with density increases over 12 units per acre subject to a conditional use approval. The
Board agreed that the increase should be subject to Conditional Use approval, but didn't
feel it was appropriate to establish a maximum.
Staff noted that there are special regulations pertaining to the West Atlantic Avenue
Overlay District that would ultimately limit the density, such as a 48' height limitation
west of NW 3rd Avenue and SW 4th Avenue, and limitation of the depth of
commercial/mixed use structures to 150', with a depth up to 300' allowed as a
Conditional Use. After further discussion, the Board unanimously recommended that an
amendment be processed with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1 to increase the
residential density in mixed-use projects within the West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment
area, without a density limitation, as a Conditional Use and subject to performance
standards. Once the Comprehensive Plan amendment is adopted, an LDR amendment
will be processed to include the language within the GC zoning district regulations.
RECOMMEND:ED?Ac, TI
By motion, approve an amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan regarding the description of the General Commercial land use
category to establish density parameters, and adding Policy A-5.6 to accommodate an
increase in residential density in the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District.

General Commercial: This designation is applied to land which is, or should be,
developed for general commercial purposes e.g. retail, office, services. Light industrial

dwelling units per acre, except within the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay where the
densi~ may exceed 12 units per acre subject to Conditional Use approval.
Policy A-5.6 The City shall amend the General Commercial (GC) zoning district to

RE: Changes to the Cit3,'s Comprehensive Plan Pertaining to
West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Diane:
We would appreciate it if you would consider in yom' upcoming Comprehensive Plan Amendments,
the following very important matters concerning West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment:
I. The West Atlantic Avenue "GC Overlay" zoning district should more strongly emphasize
mixed-use development. Refen'ing to Sections 4.4.9(B)(5) and 4.4.9(G)(1)(b), a mixed-use
structure would require SPRAB approval. This should be eliminated. The West Atlantic
Plan clearly emphasizes mixed-use development.
2. The restriction of residential on the ground floor should be only for property fronting on
West Atlantic Avenue, NW and SW 5th Avenues. On side streets, residential on the ground
floor may be perfectly acceptable.
West Atlantic Redevelopment Plan calls for two to four stories of mixed use buildings,
3.
The
with either residential or office on the upper floors and commercial on the ground floor.
Under the current limitation of a "RM" density, 6 to 12 units per acre, no multi-story
structure could be built. We offer that any project over 12 units per acre would require a
conditional use approval. We ask that you add this matter in your Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 99-1.
I realize we are asking you to consider these changes at the last moment, but we are about to sell two
large parcels, Block 28 and Block 36, and we have interest from market-rate, multi-family
developers. Having market-rare housing would be a big economic boost to West Atlantic Avenve.
Thank you for your consideration.

IV.F.3.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
on a City initiated Future Land Use Map amendment to remove the Large Scale Mixed
Use Overlay designation from the Delray's Lost Drive-In (fka Swap Shop) property.
The subject property is located on the east side of Federal Highway (U.S. 1),
approximately 500' north of Allen Avenue.
The subject property consists of four unplatted parcels of land containing a total of 7
acres. The property was developed in 1957, under the jurisdiction of Palm Beach
County, as a drive-in theater. The drive-in theater continued to operate until the
late1970's at which time it Was converted to a flea market.
In 1989, the subject property was located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, within
the City's Future Planning Area. With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and
Future Land Use Map the property was given a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay with an
underlying land use designation of General Commercial.
On January 11, 1994, the City Commission approved an interlocal agreement with Palm
Beach County for the annexation of the North Federal Highway enclaves, including the
Swap Shop.
On February 8, 1994, the City Commission initiated a Small Scale Future Land Use
Map amendment and initial zoning of GC (General Commercial) for the Delray Swap
Shop property. At its meeting of April 19, 1994, the City Commission approved the
associated "Annexation and Development Agreement'. On May 17, 1994, the City
Commission approved on second and final reading the Small Scale Future Land Use
Map amendment and Annexation with initial zoning of GC (General Commercial). The
upgrades to the site as required by the Annexation and Development Agreement were
subsequently implemented.
On May 5, 1998, the City Commission approved a Conditional Use Modification request
for redevelopment and expansion of the Swap Shop with the condition that a site plan
be submitted which incorporated concepts that came from the North Federal Highway
planning charrette (held in November of 1977).
On July 22, 1998, the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board approved a Class IV
Site Plan Modification for the redevelopment and expansion of the Swap Shop. The
redevelopment of the site is currently in process.
On March 2, 1999, the City Commission initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-
1. The amendment includes the removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay from
the property.
Planning and Zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation for Delray's Lost Drive-In
Page 2
Future Land Use Element- Mixed Use Categories:
In the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Large Scale
Mixed Use category is described as a designation that is applied to those
properties which will be developed or redeveloped solely by private entities. It is
an overlay designation, which provides incentives for redevelopment. The land
uses which are allowed are governed by the underlying land use as shown on the
Future Land Use Map .... A large Scale Mixed Use development shall occur only
through the application of Special Activities District (SAD) zoning. Land which
has a Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner; but
may develop pursuant to the underlying (or base) land use designation.
The Swap Shop is the last remaining property in the City with a Large Scale Mixed Use
overlay designation. The overlay designations were created to provide incentives for
redevelopment, but the Large Scale Mixed Use category was never utilized. Therefore,
it has not served its intended purpose. As the property is currently being development
under the GC (General Commercial) underlying land use designation, it is appropriate to
eliminate this designation from the Future Land Use Map.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
must be based upon the following findings:
I~l Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The
need must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic
trends, changes in the availability of land, changes in the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a
comprehensive plan objective or policy, or similar circumstances. The need
must be supported by data and analysis. This policy shall not apply to
requests for the FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open
Space.
Pursuant to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, land which has a Large
Scale Mixed Use Overlay need not develop in such a manner, however it may develop
pursuant to the underlying (or base) land use designation. A Large Scale Mixed Use
development shall occur only through the application of Special Activities District (SAD)
zoning. As the property recently received Conditional Use and site plan approval for a
major redevelopment under the GC zoning designation, and the improvements are
currently being constructed, it is appropriate to remove the overlay designation.
After the removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay category, the property will have
GC (General Commercial) Future Land Use Map and zoning designations. Therefore,
positive findings can be made with respect to Future Land Use Map consistency.
Planning and Zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment - Removal of Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay Designation for Delray's Lost Drive-In
Page 3
O Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use designations
throughout the entire planning and service area were considered in the overall land use
pattern as well as the level of services. The removal of the Large Scale Mixed Use
overlay designation will not result in any changes to service demands.
[-I Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
The subject property is bordered by the following zoning designations: to the north and
west is zoned GC; to the south is zoned RM (Medium Density Residential); and to the
east, is zoned Town of Gulf Stream OR (Outdoor Recreation). The surrounding land
uses are: to the north, Second Chance Emporium and Borton Motors; to the west,
across Federal Highway, Del Sol Patio Factory; to the south, Kokomo Key (a multiple
family development); and to the east is a spoil area for dredging the Intracoastal
Waterway (FIND Property).
The elimination of the Large Scale Mixed Use overlay will have no impact with respect
to compatibility. The existing GC FLUM has been deemed compatible with the
surrounding area.
i-I Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
The requested designation is GC (General Commercial) without the Large Scale Mixed
use overlay. The approved site plan that is currently under construction was approved
pursuant to the GC FLUM and zoning designations, and complies with the applicable
requirements.
The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the DDA
(Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB (Historic Preservation Board).
Community Redevelopment Agency:
At its meeting of February 25, 1999, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed
and recommended approval of the Future Land Use Map amendment for the Swap
Shop property.

Courtesy notices were sent to the following homeowner's and civic associations:

Public Notice:
Formal public notice has been provided to all property owners within a 500 foot radius of
the subject property. Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment removing the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay
designation is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of
the Land Development Regulations. Removal of the Overlay designation is appropriate
as the site was recently granted conditional use and site plan approval to redevelop and
expand the existing flea market and those improvements are under construction. As this
is the only property in the City with this overlay designation, the designation itself is
being eliminated from the Comprehensive P~an.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Recommend approval of the Future Land Use Map Amendment to remove the
Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation based upon positive findings with
respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development
Regulations and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
C. Recommended denial of the Future Land Use Map Amendment to remove the
Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation with the basis stated.
Recommend to the City Commission approval of the Future Land Use Map Amendment
to remove the Large Scale Mixed Use Overlay designation on the Swap Shop Property
(Delray's Lost Drive-In) based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3
(Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.

IV.F.2.
The action before the Board is making a recommendation to the City
Commission to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and Zoning
Map designations for the 24.52-acre Delray Oaks Preserve. The request
involves a FLUM amendment from TRN (Transitional) to OS-C (Open
Space - Conservation) and rezoning from POC (Planned Office Center) to
OS (Open Space).
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Congress
Avenue and South West 29th Street.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency (Planning
and Zoning Board) shall review and make a recommendation to the City
Commission with respect to all amendments to the City's Future Land Use
Map and Zoning Map.
Palm Beach County acquired the subject property in December 1995, with funds
approved through the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Bond on March 12, 1991. The
City served as the County's partner in an application for State matching funds for
acquisition of the subject property.
The City has received a site plan application from the Palm Beach County Department
of Environmental Resource Management to install a 12-space parking area and nature
trail with observation platform at the Delray Oaks Preserve. The City's Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) designation for the property is TRN (Transitional) and it is currently zoned
POC (Planned Office Center), which does not permit the preserve and the associated
improvements. Pursuant to Conservation Element, Policy B-1.1 of the Comprehensive
Plan, publicly owned environmentally sensitive areas are to be identified on the FLUM
by an "Open Space-Conservation" symbol. In order to be consistent with the use of the
property and Conservation Element Policy B-1.1, it is necessary to change the FLUM
description to Open Space-Conservation and the zoning designation to OS (Open
Space). The OS zoning is appropriate for passive parks, such as Delray Oaks. The
zoning change was initiated by the City Commission on March 2, 1999, as was the
FLUM amendment, which is to be included in Comprehensive Plan Amendment 99-1.
This Future Land Use Map Amendment is being processed pursuant to the twice a year
statutory limits for consideration of plan amendments (F.S. 163.3187).

Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district
within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the
land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
As noted previously, the proposed site plan indicates that the park will be developed
with a nature trail that includes an observation platform and 12-space parking lot. The
proposed passive park and accessory facilities are allowed in the OS zoning district.
According to Table L-7 of the Comprehensive Plan, the OS zoning district is consistent
with the OS-C Future Land Use Map designation.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
must be based upon the following findings:
Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The
need must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic
trends, changes in the availability of land, changes in the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a
comprehensive plan objective or policy, or similar circumstances. Data and
analysis must support the need. This policy shall not apply to requests for the
FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space.
An analysis of the "Demonstrated Need" is not required since the proposal is a
Conservation FLUM amendment.
Consistency -- The requested designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Goal Area B of the Conservation Element states that sensitive lands that provide
habitat and contain native vegetation vital to the maintenance of the environmental
quality of this community shall be conserved and protected. The Delray Oaks
Preserve is one of the properties designated for preservation. The proposed OS-C
FLUM designation is appropriate when designated land is to be preserved.
Therefore, the FLUM designation change promotes the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
The highest intensity development allowed by the proposed OS zoning district and
OS-C FLUM designations are passive parks. The current POC zoning district
designation allows for planned office complexes. Since the demand on public
services is far less for passive parks than office complexes, the FLUM and Zoning
P & Z Board Staff Report
Delray Oaks Preserve - FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 3
Map designation changes will have a positive impact with respect to meeting
concurrency requirements.
Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
The OS-C FLUM and OS zoning designations will be compatible with the
surrounding existing and future land uses. The existing adjacent uses are the
Catalfumo planned office center to the north, the Delray Oaks multiple family
development to the south, industrial to the east (across Congress Avenue), and the
Sabal Pines East multiple family development to the west. The proposed
conservation area will not have an adverse affect on these surrounding uses.
The Delray Oaks Preserve will generate 39 average daily trips (1.59 trips x 24.52
acres). Given the acreage of the property, the site could be developed as a planned
office center with 320,000 square feet of floor area. A 320,000 square foot planned
office complex generates 3,245 trips per day. The surrounding roads can
accommodate the trips generated by the proposed nature preserve. Furthermore,
the impact on public services such as fire protection, water, sewer, solid waste,
drainage, and police is also significantly less for the conservation area than a
planned office center.
The DERM has indicated that the conservation area will operate during daylight
hours and will be closed during evening hours. Consequently, there will be no patron
interaction with the park during the evening hours.
Finally, the use of the property as a conservation area will not have a positive or
negative effect on the property values of the surrounding properties. Since the
conservation area will have a Iow impact on the surrounding properties, the property
values will not be affected due to the proposed FLUM or zone change.
Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirement of the Land Development Regulations.
As noted previously, the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource
Management has submitted a site plan application for a passive park on the subject
property. The improvements noted on the proposed site plan are consistent with the
uses allowed in the OS-C FLUM and OS zone designations. The site plan
application and compliance with the City's Land Development Regulations will be
considered by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board following the requested
designation changes to the FLUM and Zoning Map.

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 that
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, Concurrency and Comprehensive Plan Consistency were
previously discussed under the Future Land Use Map Analysis section of this report.
Compliance with respect to Compliance with the Land Development Regulations
(Standards for Rezoning Actions, Rezoning Findings) are discussed below.
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.
Comprehensive Plan Policies:
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan was previously discussed under the Future
Land Use Map Amendment Analysis section of this report.
Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezonin~l Actions): Standards B and C are not
applicable with respect to this rezoning request, as the rezoning for preservation
of environmentally sensitive land does not affect the City's Housing Element or
involves strip commercial development activity. The applicable performance
standards of Section 3.3.2 are as follows:
A) That a rezoning to other than CF, OS, OSR, OR Conservation within stable
residential area shall be denied.
The subject property is located along a principal arterial roadway (Congress
Avenue). The surrounding existing land uses are a planned office park to the
north, multiple family residential to the south and west, and a planned commerce
center and industrial complex to the east (across Congress Avenue). The Delray
Oaks Preserve is not located within a residential area but is adjacent to
neighborhoods designated as stable residential on the Residential Neighborhood
Categorization Map. The proposed rezoning is to OS, therefore a positive
finding with respect to this standard can be made.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Delray Oaks Preserve - FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 5 ,.
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 proposed rezoning will implement the City's Conservation designation of the
subject property. According to Table L-7 of the Future Land Use Element, the
OS zone designation is compatible with the FLUM designations of the adjacent
residential and commercial properties. As noted previously, the uses permitted
in the OS zoning district are passive parks or water bodies. The passive park
proposed by Palm Beach County is consistent with the proposed Zoning Map
designation and the surrounding uses. The accessory facilities associated with
the passive park such as parking will be considered via the site plan process in
accordance with the City's Land Development Regulations.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5), in addition to the 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 proposed OS zone designation is allowed under both the current TRN
(Transitional) and the proposed OS-C FLUM designations. Given the proposed use of
the property, the OS zone and OS-C FLUM designations are more appropriate for the
property. The OS zone designation change from POC will ensure that the property is
utilized as a passive park rather than for office uses. Consequently, a positive finding
with respect to (b) can be made since the purchase of the property by DERM for the
purpose of establishing a passive park changes the circumstances with respect to
appropriateness of the zoning designation. Furthermore, the OS zoning designation is
more appropriate as passive parks are not allowed uses in the POC zoning district.

Public Notice:
Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the
subject property. Letters of objection and support, if any, will be presented at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The proposed passive park is incompatible with the current POC zoning designation, as
it is not a permitted use. The appropriate zoning designation for passive parks is the
OS zoning district. While the TRN FLUM designation can be applied for either planned
office complexes or passive parks, the most appropriate FLUM designation is the OS-C
designation as it will ensure that the property remains in its natural state and is not
allowed to be developed. Positive findings can be made with respect to Future Land
Use Element Policy A-1.7 of the Comprehensive, and Sections 3.1.1, 3.3.2 (Standards
for Rezoning Actions) and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and the
goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Recommend to the City Commission approval of the Future Land Use Map
amendments-from TRN to OS-C, and the rezoning from POC to OS based upon
positive findings with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 of the
Comprehensive Plan (FLUM Amendment Findings), Sections 3.1.1, 3.3.2
(Standards for Rezoning Actions) and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development
Regulations, and the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

C. Recommend to the City Commission denial of the Future Land Use Map
amendments from TRN to OS-C, and the rezoning from POC to OS based upon
a failure to make positive findings with Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 of
the Comprehensive Plan (FLUM Amendment Findings), and Section 2.4.5(D)(5)
of the Land Development Regulations, that the FLUM amendment and rezoning
fail to fulfill one of the basis for which a FLUM amendment or rezoning should be
granted.
Recommend to the City Commission approval of the Future Land Use Map amendment
from TRN to OS-C, and the rezoning from POC to OS based upon positive findings with
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 of the Comprehensive Plan (FLUM Amendment
Findings), Sections 3.1.1, 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the
Land Development Regulations, and Goal Area "B" of the Comprehensive Plan,

interpretive trail.
· Minor text changes which include;
· Amendment to Transportation Element Objective A-4 to reflect Table T-1 versus Table
T-4.
· Modifying the General Commercial land use description in the Future Land Use Element
to eliminate a prohibition of residential uses unless they are in conjunction with
commercial uses.
· Modification of the Conservation land use description in the Future Land Use Element to
correct the land use designation to indicate Open Space -Conservation versus the
current Recreation and Open Space.
· Elimination of the Large Scale Mixed Use description from the Future Land Use
Element.
· Modification of the Other Mixed-Use category in the Future Land Use Element to better
reflect the Old School Square Historic Arts Zoning District.
· Modification of Table L-7 to eliminate the Large Scale Mixed Use category.
