The subject property is located on the south side of Sterling Avenue, approximately 150 feet west of South Swinton Avenue, and contains 0.70 acres. In 1984, the City Commission approved a conditional use request to allow the establishment of Bar and Ferg's Academy, a child care 'facility including kindergarten, within the R-1-A zoning district. The academy currently occupies Lots 2-6, Block 2, Southridge subdivision, and wishes to expand its operation to the west onto Lot 7 for the addition of an elementary school. Elementary schools are not allowed in the R-1-A district; hence, the request for rezoning of the property.

L~N TON BOULEVARD The action before the Board is making a recommendation on a rezoning request from R-1-A (Single Family Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) for Bar and Ferg's Academy. The subject property is located south of Sterling Road between SW 4th Avenue and Swinton Avenue, and contains approximately 0.7 acres. Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. The subject property is zoned R-I-A (Single Family Residential) and involves Lots 2-7, Block 2, of Southridge subdivision. At its meeting of December 4, 1984, the City Commission approved a conditional use request to allow the establishment of a child care facility (including kindergarten) on Lots 2-6 for Bar and Ferg's Academy. The approval was conditioned upon a maximum capacity of 71 students. The academy wishes to expand its operation to the west onto Lot 7 for the addition of an elementary school. Elementary schools are not allowed in the R-I-A zone district, therefore the applicant is requesting that the subject property be rezoned from R-I-A to CF (Community Facilities). Under the CF zone district private schools are allowed as a conditional use, which is discussed under a separate report. The development proposal is to rezone Lots 2-7, Block 2, of Southridge Subdivision, from R-I-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy. Currently, the site contains a 4,431 square foot building with 5 classrooms, 11 parking spaces, student drop-off area, and dumpster enclosure. The development proposal involves a 1,978 square foot building addition to be located along the west side of the building, which necessitates the relocation of the existing parking lot and dumpster enclosure to the west of the proposed addition. The new parking lot will consist of 16 parking spaces. The expansion will accommodate 2 classrooms and 54 students (grades pre-school through 6th) for a total capacity of 125 students. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-I-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy Page 2 REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3): Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areas. Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Low Density Residential. The requested zoning change is from R-1-A to CF. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21(A), the proposed zoning designation of CF is deemed consistent with all land use designations including the existing Low Density Residential Future Land Use Map designation. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21(D)(2), schools are allowed as a conditional use. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. Streets and Traffic: A traffic impact study was submitted with the request. Under the current R-1-A zoning designation a single family dwelling could be built on the unimproved lot. Traffic generation rates for single family homes are 10 ADT. The increase in enrollment by 54 students will generate 183 additional trips per day. Thus, there is a net potential increase of 173 ADT from the proposed rezoning. The adjacent roadway links are not over or at capacity and the project meets the criteria outlined in Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. Therefore, there should be little or no impact on this level of service standard. Water and Sewer: Water and sewer service is available to the site via a 6" water main and an 8" sewer main located within Sterling Avenue right-of-way. The rezoning from R-1-A to CF will slightly increase water and sewer demands, however, there is adequate capacity at the existing facilities to accommodate this development proposal. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-I-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy Page 3 Parks and Recreation: Parks and Recreation dedications do not apply to non-residential developments. Solid Waste: The proposed 1,978 square foot expansion will generate 10.6 tons of solid waste per year. A single family dwelling would generate 1.99 tons of solid waste per year. While there is a net increase in solid waste generation (8.61 tons), the Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments until 2021. 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. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: A) That a rezoning to other than CF within stable residential area shall be denied. The subject property is located within a neighborhood classified as "Rehabilitation" in the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and is being rezoned to CF. Therefore, the above standard does not apply. 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 subject property is bordered by the following zoning designations: to the south and west, by CF zoning; to the north and east by R-I-A zoning. The surrounding land uses are: to the south and west by a residential office; to the east by a retention area; and to the north by single family residences. The daycare/school is located on the perimeter of a residential neighborhood and has not experienced any compatibility problems to date. There are no compatibility concerns with the retention area located to the east or the residential/office use to the west and south. The existing playground area is to remain on the east side of the property and is not being expanded. Therefore, no additional noise from the playground area should be generated by this P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-I-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy Page 4 development proposal. Other than a minor increase in trafffic due to the addition of 40 students to the existing facility, no compatibility concerns are noted. Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings): Pursuant to Section 2.4.$(D)(1) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These masons 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 applicant submitted a justification statement as a part of the rezoning application. The statement indicates that the applicable reason is "c". The justification statement is summarized below: "The School was built in 1986 .... The corner lot to the east is used as a drainage retention area. The contiguous property to the south is zoned Residential Office [Note: This was recently changed to CF] and there are other mixed uses in the neighborhood. In consideration of the existing uses in the area and the fact that the school was constructed with the existing residential uses, a CF rezoning is appropriate." Comment: The justification statement addresses Item "c" as the basis for which the rezoning should be granted, that the 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 rezoning will accommodate the expansion of an existing childcare facility and private school, which has co-existed with the neighborhood for nearly 13 years. The facility services the children in the adjacent residential neighborhoods, which is a needed use in the community. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and no applicable objectives or policies were found. Compliance with Land Development Regulations: The proposed use is to be in compliance with the Land Development Regulations. Items identified in the Land P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy Page 5 Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development application/request. The applicant has submitted a Sketch Plan. While the submitted sketch plan is not being formally considered at this time, the following comments are provided. LDR Section 4.4.21(H) CF District Special Regulations: When this district (CF) is adjacent to residential zoning, the perimeter landscape area should be 15'; or, as an alternative, a wall, decorative fencing, or hedging should be installed for aesthetic and buffering purposes. This would apply along the north and east property lines. While modifications are not being proposed at this time along these property lines (except for Lot 7), it would be appropriate for the existing landscaping to be upgraded to comply with this special regulation. This item is further discussed in the Conditional Use report. LDR Section 6.1.3 Sidewalks: A 5' wide sidewalk exists along the south side of Sterling Avenue except in front of this development. As part of this development proposal a sidewalk will be required along the frontage of the property that ties into the existing sidewalks that dead-end at the east and west property lines. The rezoning is not in a geographical area requiring review by either the HPB (Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. A special certified notice has been sent to each of the property owners of record. Courtesy Notice: Courtesy notices have been sent to the following homeowner's and civic associations. · PROD · Woods of Southridge Homeowners Association Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting. P&Z Staff Report Rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy Page 6 The request is to rezone Lots 2-7, Block 2, Southridge Subdivision, from R-I-A to CF to accommodate an expansion for Bar and Ferg's Academy. The CF zone district will allow the establishment of an elementary school with a capacity of 125 students. The CF zoning district is consistent with the Low Density Residential FLUM designation. Positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) can be made that the CF 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, as it is currently utilized as a child care facility and private school.

CITY MANAGER ~ ~, THRU: DIANE DOMINGUEZ, OR , DEPARTMENT OF PLAI~NING~ AND ZONING'~ FROM: ~-~K~NNER SUBJECT: MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1999 REZONING FROM R-1-A (SINGLE FAMILY) TO CF (COMMUNITY FACILITIES) FOR BAR AND FERG'S ACADEMY, WHICH IS LOCATED SOUTH OF STERLING ROAD, BETWEEN SW 4~" AVENUE AND SWlNTON AVENUE AND CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 0.7 ACRES At its meeting of December 4, 1984, the City Commission approved a conditional use request to allow the establishment of a child care facility (including kindergarten) within the R-1-A zone district for Bar and Ferg's Academy. The academy currently occupies Lots 2-6, Block 2, Southridge subdivision. The academy wishes to expand its operation to the west onto Lot 7 for the addition of an elementary school. Elementary schools are not allowed in the R-1-A zone district, therefore the applicant is requesting that the subject property be rezoned from R-1-A to CF (Community Facilities). Additional background and an analysis of the request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. At its meeting of March 15, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with review of the request. There was no public testimony regarding the rezoning. After reviewing the staff report and discussing the proposal, the Board voted 6-0 (Eliopoulos absent) to recommend approval of the rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Bar and Ferg's Academy, based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) and Section 2.4.5(D)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. By motion, approve the rezoning from R-1-A to CF for Lots 2-7, Block 2, Southridge subdivision for Bar and Ferg's Academy based upon the findings of the Planning and Zoning Board, and setting a public hearing date of April 20, 1999.
