the signal shall be installed by the developer within three months of a
directive by the City of Delray Beach. If not warranted, the requirement for
an intersection analysis shall become a requirement of the annual report
by the developer. If and when the intersection analyses show that a traffic
signal is warranted, the signal shall be installed by the developer within
three months of a directive by the City of Delray Beach. [Res. #10-95]
The applicant submitted an analysis of this intersection with the last
annual report, with the conclusion that a traffic signal is not warranted at
this time. Buildout of this development will further impact this intersection.
The 2,406 additional daily trips have not been previously reviewed,
therefore an additional analysis should be undertaken to account for this
impact and submitted with the site plan.
It is recommended that this condition be modified to require that the
additional analysis to be submitted with the site plan, and that the traffic
signal be bonded prior to~ issuance of~rtificate of Occupancy of
t~~rtment un_it_s_. If after one year o ~ssuance of the ast
Certificate of Occupancy the signal is not warranted, then the bond would
be released.
Condition #22C: An intersection analysis of the intersection of SW 10th
Avenue/Lindell Boulevard and capacity determination for SW 10th Avenue
shall be submitted with each site plan for further development in the
Waterford Place DRI. Based upon such analyses and when so determined
by the City, the developer shall improve the intersection and shall complete
the four-lane section of SW 10th Avenue between Linton Boulevard and
Lindell Boulevard. [Res. #10-95]
The applicant has submitted a traffic report which analyzes the
intersection and indicates the intersection operates at an acceptable level.
The study also identifies current daily peak season traffic volumes on
S.W. 10th Avenue of 11,800 trips and average daily traffic of 10,620 trips
per day. With development of the hotel and apartments plus natural
growth (1% per year) the total of 13,233 average daily and 14,703 peak
season trips will be present on the roadway at buildout in 1997. The
capacity for a two lane road is 13,400 vehicles per day.
As this roadway will be operating at a level of service E during peak
season at buildout of this project, and the four-laning of the roadway is a
condition of this DRI the improvement should be installed with this SAD
modification. Further, given the current background rate the average daily
traffic (not peak season) will exceed the level of service D by 1999. Given
the above, it is recommended that Condition #22C be modified to require
the four-laning of S.W. 10th Avenue with issuance of building permits for
the development of the apartments and hotel.

(including appropriate striping), bonded or eliminated. The City's traffic
consultant is reviewing each of the improvements and a recommendation
on each will be provided to the City Commission.
Condition #20 Transportation special impact fee: The developer shall
contribute an additional fifty cents per square foot for all offi~:e and
industrial buildings to be paid to the City of Delray Beach at the time of
issuance of Certificates of Occupancy. The funds shall be placed into a
Roadway Trust Fund by the City, and transmitted to Palm Beach County
upon establishment by the County of a special purpose impact fee for the
creation of additional interchange capacity for Interstate 95 within the
project's area of impact. Should Palm Beach County decide not to
establish such an impact fee, the funds shall be used by the City for
roadway improvements within the impact area.
The County has not created such an impact fee. Since the equivalent of
322,413 sq.ft, of office space is being converted to residential and hotel
space, the corresponding fee ($.50 /sq.ft.) should be assessed to this
modification. This process was followed with the previous change from
office to retail for Builders Square and a payment of $212,000 made to
offset the costs of constructing S.W. 10th Avenue north of Lindell
Boulevard. The current proposal equates to $161',206 or $94.83 per daily
office trip (322,413/3,400 trips). As the modification proposal represents a
reduction of 556 trips it appears reasonable to reduce the fee accordingly
as the impacts are reduced. The corresponding fee reduction would be
$52,725 (556 x $94.83). Thus, the amount of $108,481 is to be paid to
Issuesthe City, to be used for,~future roadwayimprovements.~-f/ . ,

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # /O./~ - MEETING OF MAY 7, 1996
SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE NO. 10-96 (FUTURE
LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FOR A PORTION OF ~ATERFORD PLACE/DELINT
DRI); AND
DATE: MAY 3, 1996 ~U~Fp9 ~' p~/
This is second reading and the second public hearing for Ordinance No.
10-96 changing the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Oesignation for a 35.77 acre
portion of the Waterford Place Develol~nent of Regional Impact (DRI). The
current designation is Cc~merce. The proposed designations are Medium
Density Residential {5-12 dwelling units/acre) for a 31.77 acre portion of
the site, and Transitional for the remaining four acres.
On February 6, 1996, Commission passed the ordinance on first reading and
authorized transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs. DCA
reviewed the FLUM amendment and had no comments. The Future T~nd Use Map
change w~s accompanied by a Master Development Plan modification, SAD
zoning modification, and a DRI Develot~ent Order modification to allow the
replacement of the 322,413 sq.ft, office use component with a 300 unit
rental apartment project and a 78 unit residence/business hotel. The
revised master Oevelo~ent plan and SAD zoning aspects were approved by

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MAY 7, 1996 SECOND READING OF A FUTURE
LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM COMMERCE TO A
COMBINATION OF MEDIUM DENSITY ($-12 UNITS PER ACRE)
AND TRANSITIONAL FOR A 35 ACRE PORTION OF THE
WATERFORD DRI, LOCATED SOUTH OF LINTON I~LVD. EAST
OF 1-95, AND CONSIDERATION OF ASSOCIATED CHANGES
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT -
DEVELOPMENT ORDER (DRI-DO).
The action requested of the City Commission is a.D.DrQval on second
reading of Ordinance 10-96, a Future Land Use Map Amendment for a
portion of Waterford Place/Delint DRI along with approval of Resolution #
37-96 which modifies the associated Development Order.
The subject property is located south of Linton Boulevard and east of 1-95.
The applicant is requesting a Future Land Use Map amendment for the vacant
35 acre portion of the Waterford/Delint DRI from Commerce to a combination of
Transitional (4 acres) and Medium Density Residential (31.77 acres). The Future
Land Use Map change is accompanied by a Master Development Plan
modification, SAD zoning modification and a DRI/DO (Development of Regional
Impact Development Order) all of which replace the approved 322,413 sq.ft, of
office use with a 300 unit upscale rental apartment project and a 78 unit
residence/business hotel.
The SAD ordinance and associated Master Development Plan were approved by
City Commission on March 5, 1996 with an effective date tied to the approval of
the FLUM amendment and the DRI/DO modification.
The proposed changes to the DRI/DO (Resolution # 37-96) relate to modifying
the list of approved uses and dates of the applicable SAD ordinance and
approved master plan. In summary the proposed DRI/DO changes are;
· Deletion of 322,413 sq.ft, of office space.
· Addition of 300 upscale rental units with associated recreation units.
· Addition of a 78 room business/residential hotel.
· Change to Condition # 1 which will modify the date to reflect the most
current Master Development Plan approval (March 5, 1996).
· Change to Condition # 21 which will add the current SAD ordinance
(Ordinance 11-96).
· Change to Condition # 21B which will add the date and ordinance for
the recently approved Master Development Plan (March 5, 1996,
Ordinance 11-96).
Several other DRI/DO conditions are affected by the development proposal and
are discussed below. Some of these conditions are no longer applicable
(Condition #15) or have been adequately addressed (Conditions #19, #22C),
however, the Department of Community Affairs has requested they remain in the
Development Order. These include:
Condition # 15 pertaining to energy efficiency. This condition requires energy
efficient construction in all office buildings in the DRI. As the office component
is being eliminated this condition is no longer applicable.
Condition # 19 B reauires turn lane improvements on Linton Blvd. / SW 10th
Avenue. These improvements have been completed. It is noted that in some
cases the pavement has been installed yet the turn lanes are striped out
(restricted) pending the need for the improvement.
Condition # 20 assesses a S.Decial Trans.Dortation Impact Fee. On March 5,
1996 during review of the SAD Ordinance the City Commission raised concerns
with respect to this condition. The condition requires a contribution of 50 cents
per sq.ft, for all office and industrial buildings to be paid to the City of Delray
Beach for future roadway improvements. The modification from office to
residential uses would result in a potential revenue loss of $161,206 or $47.41
per daily office trip ($161,206 / 3,400 trips). Payment of this fee was
recommended as a condition of approval. As the DRI modification proposal
represents a reduction of 556 trips the proposed impact fee was reduced
accordingly to $134,834.
The Commission was reluctant to impose the special Transportation Impact Fee
as no specific roadway improvements were designated. It is noted that other
conditions of the Development Order required 4 laning of SW 10th Avenue and
intersection improvements (DO condition #22C) and signalization of SW 10th
Avenue and Lindell Boulevard (DO condition #22B).
Subsequent to March 5, 1996 the Planning staff met with the applicant and
discussed the DO conditions and the status of each. The applicant has agreed
to pay the impact fee, notwithstanding the fact that there are no longer office or
industrial buildings, and that those impact fees could be used by the City in the
future for any improvements the City desires (i.e. five laning of SW 10th Avenue,
traffic signal at Lindell Blvd. and SW 10th Avenue, etc.). This special impact fee
is to be paid prior to the issuance of building permits.
The City Engineer has estimated the five laning of SW 10th Avenue would cost
approximately $84,000, while the signalization of the intersection of Lindell and
SW 10th Avenue would be approximately $40,000. The Transportation Impact
Fee money could be utilized for these improvements if warranted, or other traffic
calming methods (i.e. intersection landscaping, speed bumps etc.) which would
help to de-emphasize Lindell Boulevard as a collector road.
Condition # 22C calls for the four laning of SW 10th Avenue when traffic
volumes dictate the need, Based on the Kimley Horn capacity determination
submitted for SW 10th Avenue the traffic volumes at buildout (Nov. 1997) will not
warrant the 4 laning of SW. 10th Avenue. If actual volumes turn out to be higher
and future widening is appropriate, it would be funded with the Transportation
Impact Fee collected under Condition # 20.
Condition # 22D requires submittal of plans to de-emphasize Lindell Boulevard
as a collector road. The applicant"s traffic engineer has submitted written
comments with respect to possible solutions. The plans including a scenario to
realign Lindell Boulevard into Waterford Place have been submitted. These
scenarios will be explored with review of the full site plan submittal.
Palm Beach County School Board: The Palm Beach County School Board
has opposed the FLUM amendment as it will generate additional school children
in this part of the County. A proposal to set side 5 acres to accommodate an
Early Learning Center was discussed at first reading. The attorney for the
applicant has met with representatives from the School Board. The Early
Learning Center program at this time has not been fully developed, nor is
funding available to establish the centers. The applicant has agreed to continue
working with the School Board to establish a suitable location if and when the
program is in place. There is a possibility that a center could be established in
the commercial shopping area adjacent to Waterford (see attached letter).
DCA Review: The Department of Community Affairs reviewed the FLUM
amendment request and had no comments.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its meeting of January
22, 1995. Several members of the public spoke regarding traffic congestion
on Linton Boulevard. After lengthy discussion comparing the advantages and
disadvantages of the request, the consensus of the Board was to support the
proposed changes for the following reasons:
· The amount of office space would not be marketable in the
foreseeable future;
· The hotel use will be an asset to the City;
· The City needs more high end residential units, and the project will
attract a younger, middle to upper income tenant;
· In terms of land use, residential is more appropriate in the area than
an office park; and,
· Traffic will be reduced.
The Board voted 5 to 1 (Bill Schwartz opposing, David Schmidt absent) to
recommend approval of the FLUM amendment. Bill Schwartz opposed the
change as he felt the office use is more critical to the City than the rental
development.

Re: Waterford/School Issue
Dear Paul:
I met with August Hemandez and Jan Hansen of the Planning & Real Estate Division of the Palm Beach
County School Board today. We discussed the concept of the Pre K-K facility; otherwise known as An
Early Learning Center on the Waterford site.
I was informed by August and Jan that neither The School Board nor the Superintendent has been
formally approached with a plan for these Early Learning Centers. Apparently there is such a plan in
existence in Dade County which the Palm Beach County School Board personnel are learning more
about. It was also indicated there is no funding mechanism at the present time to acquire or develop
property for this purpose.
Because of the infancy of the program, the conclusion reached at the meeting with Mr. Hernandez and
Mr. Hansen was that the Waterford developer would continue to discuss with The School Board the
possibility of accommodating An Early Learning Center within the clubhouse in the proposed apartment
complex, based on financial feasibility and demographics. Additionally, the Waterford developer would
look at the possibility of accommodating such An Early Learning Center in the commercial property they
own adjacent to Waterford, but not a part of Waterford. The bottom line is that we agreed to keep the
lines of communication open to explore mutually beneficial alternatives after this program is more fully
developed.

Re: Waterford DRI - Delray Beach/Land Use Map Agreement
Dear Ms. Dominquez:
The Palm Beach County School District objects to the land use amendment for the above referenced
Waterford DRI. The original Waterford DRI was for the construction of 811,763 square feet of
office park, 250 room hotel and 236 multi-family residential units. The School District had included
the potential public school age students generated from the 1984 approval in our school population
facility needs.
The most recent review of the public schools serving the Greater Delray Beach Area shows the
following capacity and membership counts:
(East) Adandc High School 1,709 2,230
(Eas0 Plumosa Elementary 476 493
Carver Middle School 1,300 1,272
Banyan Creek Elementary 779 1,096
(Eas0 S.D. Spady Elementary 587 578
(Eas0 Pine Grove Elementary 568 721
(I) Orchard View Elementary 936 676
Review of existing schools in the area shows that the student membership exceeds the school capacity
at most schools, and on ali schools on the east side of 1-95. The School District has not been able
to keep up with the students generated from new growth. The provision of new schools is difficulty
and it is more difficult to locate and acquire school sites located along the coast (areas east of 1-95).

The proposed amendment will have unanticipated public school student impact on the enrollment of
public schools servicing this area.
The School Board has gone on record objecting to Future Land Use Map Amendments that increase
the residential density of areas. A copy of the School Board Resolution is enclosed The
unanticipated student impacts, which might result from the approvals of such amendments, farther
compounds the overcrowding at school centers.
The School District would recommend that the petitioner work with the District as a means of
addressing the potential negative educational impacts.
One idea suggested would include the provision of a small site to accommodate a K-3 elementary
school. Smaller school sites located along the coastal area, with a division of the traditional grade
stmctnres could help alleviate school overcrowding.
Respectfully,
