JANUARY 30, 2004
This ordinance is before Commission for second reading and a quadjua~dal headng for rezoning from
A (Agricultural) to RM-8 (Medium Density Residential-8 dwelling units per acre) for a 1.69 acre parcel
of land for Highland Grove Estates located on the north side of Old Germantown Road
approximately 1,115 feet west of Homewood Boulevard,
The subject property consists of two (2) unplatted lots containing two (2) existing single family
homes. The site was annexed into the City in 1988 with an initial zoning desigaaation of Agricultural
Residential Transitional (ART) to allow existing agricultural uses to continue. With the citywide
rezoning and adoption of the LDR in October 1990, the property was rezoned to Agriculture. The
proposal is to change the zoning designation for Highland Grove Estates for the purpose of
constructing a multiple-family residential development.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with the request. Four people
spoke expressing concerns relating to traffic and compatibility with the single-family dwellings in the
area. The Board voted 6-0 to recommend that the request be approved, based upon positive findings
with respect to Land Development Regulations Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), Land
Development Regulations Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), Land Development Regulations Section
3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), Land Development Regulations 4.4.60)0) {that the proposed
density is appropriate based upon the FLUM designations of the surrounding properties and
prevailing development patterns}, and the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

to Agriculture (A).
An application has been submitted for a Rezoning from A to RM-8. This application has been submitted
with the purpose of constructing a multiple-family residential development on the subject properties. This
use would be permissible under the proposed RM-8 zoning, but not under the current A zoning. Additional
background and an analysis of the Rezoning request are provided in the attached Planning and Zoning
Board staff report.
At its meeting of December 15, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction

IV. B.
The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a
privately sponsored rezoning from Agriculture (A) to Multiple Family Residential-Medium
Density - 8 du/ac (RM-8) for the property located on the north side of Old Germantown Road,
approximately 1,115' west of Homewood Boulevard.
Pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.2.2(E) (6), the Local Planning
Agency (Planning & Zoning Board) shall review and make a recommendation to the City
Commission with respect to the rezoning of any property within the City.
The subject property consists of two (2) unplatted lots totaling 1.69 acres containing two (2)
single family residences. The site was annexed into the City in 1988 with an initial zoning
designation of Agricultural Residential Transitional (ART). The ART zoning designation was
applied as a holding zone for properties annexed into the City in order to allow the existing
agricultural uses being conducted on the properties to continue. With the citywide rezonings
and adoption of the LDR in October of 1990, the property was rezoned to Agriculture (A).
At its meeting of February 22, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of
a request for rezoning of the adjacent property to the west from A to RM-8 (Winters Rezoning).
The initial request made by the applicant was for RM zoning; however the Board determined
that in order to ensure compatibility with the adjacent residential uses, a suffix of eight (8) units
per acre should be applied to the property. At its meeting of March 16, 1999, the City
Commission approved the rezoning of the property. This property has subsequently been
platted as a single family subdivision known as Valencia Court, which is currently under
development.
The proposal is to change the zoning designation of the subject property from Agricultural (A) to
Multiple Family Residential-Medium Density - 8 du/ac (RM-8). The applicant has indicated that
the proposed rezoning is requested as a prelude to the future development of the property as a
multiple family residential project. However, at this time a development application has not
been submitted.
REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3)
Pursuant to LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record.
This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or
minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny
the development application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map,
Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance with the Land
Development Regulations.
Planning and Zoning Boar;' 'afl Report
Highland Grove Estates - R=~oning
Page 2
Future Land Use Map: The resulting use of land or structures must be allowed in the
zoning district within which the land is situated and said zoning must be consistent with
the applicable land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The subject property has a Medium Density - 5-12 du/ac (MD) Future Land Use Map
designation and is currently zoned Agriculture (A). The proposed Multiple Family Residential-
Medium Density - 8 du/ac (RM-8) designation is consistent with the MD Future Land Use Map
designation. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency
with the Future Land Use Map designation.
Concurrency: Concurrency, as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of the Future Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan, must be met and a determination made that the
public facility needs of the requested land use and/or development application will not
exceed the ability of the City to fund and provide, or to require the provision of, needed
capital improvements in order to maintain the Levels of Service Standards established in
Table CI-GOP-1 of the adopted Comprehensive Plan of the City of Delray Beach.
Drainaqe: With a rezoning request drainage plans are not required. Storm water retention will
be reviewed during the site plan application process. There are no problems anticipated with
retaining drainage on site and obtaining a South Florida Water Management District permit.
Parks and Recreation: The applicant will be responsible for the City's Parks and Recreation
requirements during the site plan review process. The subject property has a development
potential of 13 dwelling units under the proposed RM-8 zoning designation. Consequently, the
applicant would be subject to a $6,500 park impact fee at maximum development (13 units x
$500 per unit).
School Concurrency: School concurrency must be addressed during the rezoning application
and represent the maximum development. The applicant has received a finding of concurrency
from the Palm Beach County School Board.
Solid Waste: The development of the property under the RM-8 zoning district should not create
an adverse impact on this level of service standard. The subject property has a maximum
development potential of 13 dwelling units. The two (2) existing single family residences
generate 3.98 tons of solid waste per year. The potential 13 multiple family dwelling units
would generate 6.76 tons of solid waste per year; a net increase of 2.78 tons of solid waste per
year. The increase can be accommodated by existing facilities and thus, will not have a
significant impact on this level of service standard.
Traffic: The applicant has provided a traffic statement comparing the traffic generated by the
two (2) existing single family homes and a twelve (12) unit multiple family development.
However, the requested density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre would allow for a maximum
of 13 units. Further analysis indicates that should the maximum density be achieved, 71
additional average daily trips would be generated.
Water and Sewer: Water service can be accommodated via a service lateral connection to the
existing 12" water main located within the Old Germantown Road right-of-way. Sewer service
may be accommodated from one of two potential options; via service lateral connection to an
existing manhole in an adjoining development (Spanish Wells or Summit Delray Apartments); or
via service lateral connection to the existing 4" force main within Old Germantown Road. It is
noted that should the applicant select the former option, utility easements would need to be
Planning andZoning Boar~ ~affReport
Highland Grove Estates - l~zoning
Page 3
secured from the chosen adjoining development. If the latter option is selected, than a private
lift station would need to be provided on the subject property.
Adequacy of fire suppression will be evaluated during the site plan review process. Pursuant to
the Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water Treatment Plant
and the South Central County Wastewater Treatment Plant for the City at build-out. Based
upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to this level of service standard.
Consistency: A finding of overall consistency may be made even though the action will
be In conflict with some individual performance standards contained within Article 3.2,
provided that the approving body specifically finds that the beneficial aspects of the
proposed project (hence compliance with some standards) outweighs the negative
impacts of identified points of conflict.
LDR Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions):
The applicable performance standards of LDR Section 3.2.2 are as follows:
(D)
That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible
with adjacent and nearby land use 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 following zoning designations and uses surround the subject property:
Zoninq Des~qnation: FLUM Desiqnation: Use:
North RM MD
South R-l-AAA LD
R-l-AAA LD
A LD
East PRD MD
PRD MD
West RM-8 MD
Spanish Wells Condominiums
Rabbit Hollowe Subdivision
Verona Woods Subdivision
Single Family Residences
Summit Delray Apartments
Crosswinds Condominiums
Valencia Court Subdivision
Multiple family development is permissible within the proposed RM-8 zoning district and would
be compatible with the existing multiple family developments to the north and east. The single
family subdivision to the west (Valencia Court) was recently rezoned from Agriculture (A) to RM-
8 in 1999 and could still be redeveloped in the future as a multiple family development. The
single family subdivisions and remaining agriculturally zoned properties to the south are
separated from the subject property by Old Germantown Road and the development
requirements found in the City's Land Development Regulations are sufficient enough to
mitigate any potentially adverse impacts to these areas.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(H), density may exceed the base of six (6) units per acre only
after the approving body makes a finding that the project has substantially complied with the
performance standards of LDR Section 4.4.6(I). The density for a specific RM development
may be further limited by a numerical suffix affixed to the designation and shown on the zoning
map. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(I) (3), for vacant property that is proposed for rezoning to
RM with a density suffix, the approving body must make a finding that the proposed density is
appropriate based upon the FLUM designations of surrounding property as well as the
prevailing development pattern of the surrounding area. As noted in the above table, the
adjacent properties to the north, east and west have MD (Medium Density) FLUM designations.
Planning and Zoning Boar~ *afl Report
Highland Grove Estates - k,,zoning
Page 4
As discussed later in the report with respect to Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Policy A-
3.2, the proposal is consistent with the prevailing development pattern as well as the densities
of the surrounding area. The affixation of the suffix restricting the density of the property to
eight (8) units per acre shall ensure maximum compatibility with the adjacent properties.
LDR Section 2.4.5(D) (5) - Rezonin.q Findin.qs:
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(D) (5), in addition to provisions of Chapter Three, 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 applicant has submitted a justification statement, which states the following:
"The Agricultural (A) zoning district serves as a holding zone designation. At this time
we desire a zoning compatible with the land use of multifamily residential. The change
to RM-8 from A would also create a more compatible zoning with the adjacent
properties;
The applicant's justification is correct, as agricultural uses are not envisioned for the long term
on the subject property given the surrounding residential developments. The underlying land
use allows for a zoning designation that will accommodate a multiple family residential use,
which is consistent with the development pattern to the north, east and west of the subject
property. Further, the requested zoning designation (RM-8) is consistent with the FLUM
designation (MD).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES: A review of the objectives and policies of the
adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following applicable objectives
and policies are noted:
Future Land Use Element Objective A-f: Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a
manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate in terms of soil, topographic and other
applicable physical considerations, is complementary to adjacent land uses and fulfills
remaining land use needs.
As discussed previously with respect to LDR Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions),
multiple family development is permissible within the proposed RM-8 zoning district and would
be compatible with the existing multiple family developments to the north and east. The single
family subdivision to the west (Valencia Court) was recently rezoned from Agriculture (A) to RM-
8 in 1999 and could still be redeveloped in the future as a multiple family development. The
single family subdivisions and remaining agriculturally zoned properties to the south are
separated from the subject property by Old Germantown Road and the development
requirements found in the City's Land Development Regulations are sufficient enough to
mitigate any potentially adverse impacts to these areas.

Housing Element Policy A-3.2: The most restrictive residential zoning district that is applicable
given existing development patterns and typical lot sizes shall be applied to these
neighborhoods and affixed to the zoning map. Requests for rezonings to a different zoning
designation, other than Community Facilities, Open Space, Open Space and Recreation, or
Conservation shall be denied.
This policy relates to neighborhoods that are designated "stable" on the Residential
Neighborhood Categorization Map. The subject property is located within an area that is
designated as such. Given the existing development pattern of the area, the most applicable
zoning designation would be the requested RM-8. The following table identifies the neighboring
residential developments and their respective densities:

COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
Items Identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by
the body taking final action on the development proposal.
The applicant has not submitted a development proposal for the subject property. Therefore,
there is no analysis with respect to the City's Land Development Regulations.
The subject property is not in an area that raquiras review by the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA), Downtown Development Authority (DDA) or Historic Preservation Board (HPB).
