EXHIBIT "A"
Changes to Plan Amendment 92-2 in Response to ORC
{Adding Provisions for the Creation of a TCMA}
ADD TO THE INVENTORY SECTION OF THE TRAFFIC ELEMENT:
The Traffic Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan contains an
inventory of items relating to the City's transportation systems. A
new section to be added to the Traffic Element inventory section is
found below. It replaces the language originally contained in
Comprehensive Plan amendment 92-2 (Location: Page III, C-9). This
new inventory information pertains to the intensification of the
Downtown activities by way of the "Village Center" development
scenario.
The City has defined a "Villaqe Center" development scenario (see
Future Land Use Element for a description of this geographic area)
for a portion of the Downtown. This area is also designated as a
Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The TCMA concept
is used in conjunction with the downtown "Villaqe Center"
development scenario to encourage growth into development patterns
that support alternatives to single-occupant automobile
transportation. It is recognized that achievement of the proposed
development intensities~ densities and mixed use patterns which are
conducive to reducing dependence on single-occupant automobile
travel required a long-term strategy based on directinq development
into more intensive patterns coupled with an early and continued
commitment to public transit and an accommodation and manaqement of
traffic conqestion. The City therefore finds that the creation of a
TCMA enhances the long-term development and mobility goals of the
City, specifically the downtown "Village Center" development
scenario~ and that these goals are balanced~ realistic and
achievable.
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C., defines the intent of a
Transportation Concurrency Management Area. This statement within
the City's Comprehensive Plan re-iterates the TCMA intent and is
consistent with said rule.
DRAFT Page I DRAFT
ADD TO THE ANALYSIS SECTION OF THE TRAFFIC ELEMENT=
Modification #1:
The Traffic Element contains an analysis section pursuant to the
requirements of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., DCA Rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C.
Within the analysis section there needs to be created a framework
for the institution of a TCMA. Part of that required framework
includes the stating that there is a need for the establishment of a
TCMA.
The following section serves to accommodate the above by replacing
the language originally contained in Comprehensive Plan Amendment
92-2 (Location: Page III, C-12).
The downtown "Village Center" development scenario (see Figure L-8
in the Future Land Use Element) is generally bounded by West 1st
Avenue~ N.E. 4th Street~ Federal Highway (U.S. 1) and Intracoastal
Waterway~ and S.E. 2nd Street. The development patterns planned for
this area are shown in Table L-2a of the Future Land Use Element.
The land uses shown in Table L-2a represent an increase in densities
within this defined geographic area. Creation of the future land
use densities will further the goals of this Plan through the
long-term implementation of development and mobility needs in a
balanced~ realistic and achievable manner. This specifically
includes that for developments within the TCMAI 27% of ali traffic
will remain within the TCMA area. Also! the existing grid system of
streets in the downtown and surrounding area allows external traffic
to distribute using many alternate routes. This distribution
results in traffic seeking and using alternate routes when routes
become congested. Finally, the increased land use intensities and
activities in the "Village Center" may result in opportunities
relating to Transportation Demand Management strategies for reducing
peak hour traffic.
One purpose of defining this specific area development pattern is to
gain access to the flexibility relating to designation of this area
as a TCMA. The purpose of a TCMA ~s to encourage land use planning
within a compact, geographic area which enhances mobility goals with
a balanced development scenario. This development pattern is to
result in alternatives to the use of a single-occupant automobile
~rip for mobility needs.
The City and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) are committed
to development of the downtown area! more specifically that area
defined in Figure L-8 of the Future Land Use Element~ which further
the goals of the City relative to achieving a balanced! realistic
and achievable development/mobility mix. The development likely to
occur within the next 36 months within this downtown "Village
Center" area (identified as interim land use totals in Figure L-2a
of the Future Land Use Element) may result in a temporary inability
to meet adopted road concurrency standards. The City and CRA
identify this as a possibility but~ feel that redevelopment goals
including increases in downtown activitiesI employment! and downtown
DRAFT Page 2 DRAFT
revitalization while directing development toward downtown and away
from the suburban sprawl areas~ out weigh said road concurrency
standards. The ultimate land use mix for this geographic area will
result in a balance between mobility and development~ however, near
term imbalances may occur. The City is designating this downtown
area as an interim TCMA to allow this interim development to occur.
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C., defines the requirements
which are needed for the designation of an interim TCMA for a
specific geographic area. These include a stated need relative to
other plan goals relating to development activities which, on a
temporary basis, may result in a degradation of roadway
levels-of-service. This proposed section is consistent with the
requirements of the said rule. Support Documentation is attached to
this Plan Amendment which has been taken from the Community
Redevelopment Agency Plan. This information discussed the
development activities occurring within the TCMA area and related
programs. It also states the need for the prompt implementation of
a TCMA. The entire CRA Plan is hereby included as support
documentation by reference.
Modification #2
The following table is to be added to the analysis section. It
contains interim LOS standards for gateway roads relating to the
Downtown TCMA. (note: The entire table, including footnotes are to
be considered as underlined, but have not been shown as underlined
for clarity.)

Average Daily Volumes for Florida's Urbanized Areas" (LOS 'D')
(4) Palm Beach County LOS standard based on analysis provided
throuqh the GAE process.
DRAFT Page 3 DRAFT
Justification~ Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1, F.A.C., requires that
alternative roadway LOS standards for the peak hours be identified
and the source for such levels be stated. This Table along with
proposed Policy E-1.6 are consistent with and implements said rule.
Excerpts from the GAE application analysis have been attached to the
document as additional analysis backup. This documentation is only
part of the total GAE development/ transportation analysis
performed. The entire GAE analysis is hereby included by reference.
The documentation relates to the economic viability of the plan,
transportation enhancement activities and proposals, and development
likely to occur in the interim period.
The Interim LOS volumes are based on the traffic analysis preformed
by David Plummer & Associates, Inc. and dated revised September 12,
1991. This analysis was part of the City's GAE application to the
County. The traffic analysis began with the existing land uses
within both the planning area and GAE, now TCMA, area. Then, the
future (Phase 1 and build-out) development levels were examined.
All traffic analysis was performed using ITE trip generation
equations and the County MPO traffic model. The MPO model was used
relative to employment, trip attraction and production, as well as
to estimate build-out traffic impacts. Also included was data and
analysis pertaining to the interim development (GAE Phase 1). The
traffic from the interim level of development was hand assigned to
the road network based on the build-out traffic assignment. Both
daily and peak hour evaluations of the roads and intersections were
performed. These evaluations yielded results indicating that State
Road A-1-A would need relief from current traffic concurrency
requirements as a result of the interim downtown development. This
is the basis for the interim TCMA road level of service degradation
shown in Table 6.

CREATE A NEW DEFINITIONS SECTION IN THE TRAFFIC ELEMENT:
The following information is proposed to be placed in the Traffic
Element. A section is to be created titled 'DEFINITIONS' and is to
include the following initial set of definitions.
DEFINITIONS= This section of the Traffic Element contalns
definitions of traffic terms relatinq to the contents of this
element. It is not a Rule 9J-5~ F.A.C. requirement~ but is included
in the plan for the purpose of clarifying technical traffic
terminology appearing in this Element and elsewhere in this Plan.
TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREA (TCMA) - a geographically
compact area desiqnated in a local comprehensive plan where
intensive development exists or is planned tn a manner that will
ensure an adequate level of mobility and further the achievement of
identified important state planning goals and policies~ including
discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl~ encouraging the
revitalization of existing downtowns or designated redevelopment
areas~ protecting natural resources~ maximizing the efficient use of
existing public facilities, and promoting public transit~ bicycling,
walking and other alternatives to the single occupant automobile.
Justification= The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation concurrency management area. The
proposed definition is consistent with and identical to the
definition of the term identified in rule 9J-5.003(99), F.A.C.
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) - strategies and techniques
that can be used to increase the efficiency of the transportation
system. Transportation demand management focuses on ways of
influencing the amount of and demand for transportation by
encouraging alternatives to the single occupant automobile and by
altering local peak hour travel demand. These strateqies and
techniques may~ among others~ include: ride sharinq programs,
flexible work hours~ telecommutinq~ shuttle services~ and parking
management.
Justification: The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation demand management. The proposed
definition is consistent with and identical to the definition of the
term identified in Rule 9J-5.003(100), F.A.C.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (TSM) - improving roads~
intersections~ and other related facilities to make the existing
transportation system operate more efficiently. Transportation
systems management techniques include demand management strategies~
incident management strateqies~ and other actions that increase the
operating efficiency of the existing system.
Justification: The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation system management. The Proposed
definition is consistent with and identical to the definition of the
term identified in Rule 9J-5.003(102), F.A.C.
DRAFT Page 5 DRAFT
TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY ELEMENT (TME) - an integratedt multi-modal
comprehensive plan element addressing transportationt land uset and
capital improvements planning that meets the requirements of rule
9J-5.0057~ F.A.C. The transportation mobility element may identify
one or more transportation concurrency manaqement areas.
Justification: The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation mobility element. The proposed
definition is consistent with and identical to the definition of the
term identified in Rule 9J-5.003(103), F.A.C.
DELETE/REJECT PROPOSED AMENDMENT WHICH ADDS A NEW OBJECTIVE (B-4)
AND ITS SUPPORTIVE POLICIES (B-4.1 AND B-4.2) AND REPLACE WITH THE
FOLLOWING.
DRAFT Page 6 DRAFT
CREATION OF A NEW GOAL AREA E IN THE TRAFFIC ELEMENT~
{The establishment of a TCMA and the pursuit of a TME}
The Traffic Element contains goals, objectives and policies which
are proposed to be amended to include necessary TCMA language
meeting the requirements of Rule 9J-5.0057 F.A.C. These items are
proposed to be placed in a new goal area as defined below.
The proposed goal provides for the City to immediately designate
interim TCMA(s) until such time as a transportation mobility element
is adopted, as is permitted in rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C. For the
past two years the City has worked with Palm Beach County to
designate a compact downtown geographic area as a Geographic Areas
of Exception (GAE), pursuant to policy 4-c of the County Traffic
Circulation Element. The Department of Community Affairs has
concluded that the GAE process was insufficient to satisfy state
requirements and has recommended that the City and County designate
interim TCMA(s) as is provided for in rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C. This
rule contains the minimum criteria for creation of transportation
concurrency management areas. Pursuant to that rule, the City is
adopting a goal consistent with such requirements.
C4~AL AREA "E"
It is a C4~AL of the City to provide for the immediate desiqnation of
an interim transportation concurrency management area (TCMA) until
such time as a transportation mobility element (TME) is adopted by a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The purpose of the TME shall be to
plan for a multi-modal~ multi-optional transportation system which
places less emphasis on accommodating the single-occupancy vehicle
and which encouraqes the development of compact~ non-automobile
oriented urban areas, promotes enerqy efficient development
patterns, protects air quality, and provides for the more efficient
mobility of residents~ visitors, and goods.
Justification: A goal is defined in Rule 9J-5.003(36), F.A.C. as
the long-term end toward which programs and activities are
ultimately directed. Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(b), F.A.C. provides that the
designation of interim TCMAs must be supported by goals, objectives,
and policies that address the provision of rule 9J-5.0057(5), F.A.C.
That rule provides that a goal statement must be provided which
establishes the long-term end toward which transportation mobility
programs and activities are ultimately directed.
DRAFT Page 7 DRAFT
OBJECTIVE E-1 DESIGNATION OF INTERIM TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY
MANAGEMENT AREA
In order to access the flexibility allowed in establishing levels of
service standards and toward the goal of establishing a convenient~
energy efficient~ multi-modal transportation system which
compliments the proposed land use pattern~ and while preparing a
Transportation Mobility Element (TME) addressing the entire
jurisdiction,, the City Commission hereby designates the area
described in the "Village Center" development scenario~ Figure L-8
in the Future Land Use Element~ as an interim Transportation
Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). This interim TCMA designation
shall be effective for a maximum period not to exceed thirty-six
months from December 8, 1992 during which t~me a TME shall be
DreDared and adopted.
Justification: Rule 9J-5.003(61), F.A.C. defines an objective as a
specific, measurable, intermediate end that is achievable and makes
progress toward a goal. Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., provides that
interim TCMAs are temporary and valid for no longer than 36 months
after the adoption of the amendment establishing the interim
TCMAs. Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C., provides that the designation of
interim TCMAs are contingent upon an adopted policy providing for
the timely submittal and adoption of a transportation mobility
element. The proposed amendment goes beyond the rule requirements
because the designation is being adopted by an objective rather than
as a policy.
The intent of Objective E-1 is to enable the City to work toward
fulfilling the development objectives of the "Village Center"
scenario while a TME is being developed.
Finally, the objective contains a measurable period (36 months) by
which the objective must be accomplished. This 36 month period is
consistent with Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C.
~ol~cy E-1.1: The interim TCMA designated within Delray Beach shall
automatically become null and void if the Delra¥ Beach City
Commission does not adopt a TME as a comprehensive plan amendment
within the time frame prescribed by Objective E-1.
Short Title - TCMA null if no TME adopted
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
adopt such a policy if interim TCMAs are designated in the
Comprehensive Plan. This policy implements and is consistent with
said rule.
Policy E-1.2: The levels of service standards established for the
interim TCMA shall be valid for no longer that the time frame
prescribed by Qbjective E-1. Should the City fail to adopt a TME
within the time frame prescribed by Objective E-it the levels of
DRAFT Page 8 DRAFT
service standards established for the interim TCMAs shall
automatically be rescinded and the level of service standard in
place for development not in the TCMA shall take affect.
Short Title - Interim LOS null if no TME adopted
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
adopt such a policy if interim TCMAs are established. This policy
implements and is consistent with said rule. Roadway LOS standards
at the time this policy takes effect shall become effective for the
TCMA development area.
Policy E-1.3~ The City Commission shall have the authority to
impose specific limits on the amount of development permitted within
the interim TCMA and such limits shall be valid for no longer than
the time period prescribed by Objective E-1. Said limits of
development shall be as defined in Table L-2a of the Future Land Use
Element.
Short Title - Development Limits
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
adopt a policy imposing specific limits on development if interim
TCMAs are established. This policy implements and is consistent
with said rule. This level of interim development shall be limited
through the City Land Development Codes in coordination with the
concurrency monitoring required in Policies E-1.4 and E-1.9.
Policy E-1.4: The Planning Department shall prepare monitoring
status reports on a six month basis. Said reports will reflect
changes in the amount of proposed~ aDDroved~ built and total
existing conditions relative to land use density and intensity in
the TCMA.
Short Title - Monitoring Reports
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(b), F.A.C., provides that
compliance with the data and analysis requirements may be deferred
until the submittal of the transportation mobility element. The
status reports are intended to be reports which indicate what
progress is being made toward providing the data and analysis
required by the above described rule and in order to provide the
data and analysis necessary to adopt a TME. The proposed policy
goes beyond the rule by requiring monitoring reports. These
monitoring reports are intended to address whether compliance has
occurred with respect to the conditions of approval and the limits
on development.
Status and Monitoring reports shall be presented to the City
Planning and Zoning Board for their consideration.
DRAFT Page 9 DRAFT
Policy E-1.5~ The impagts of trips generated by development within
the TCMA will be measured against the levels of service for TCMA and
Gateway roads shown in Table 6 of the Traffic Element. The impact
of trips from all other development with traffic impacts on TCMA
and/or Gateway roads will be measuFed against the general levels of
service as defined in Objective B-1. All road LOS determinations
shall be made on both a daily and peak hour basis.
Short Title - TCMA Levels of Service
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1., F.A.C., requires that a
policy be provided establishing levels of service standards at peak
hour for roads. County traffic concurrency rules require a daily
analysis. The proposed policy provides that the interim TCMA shall
have the same level of service standard as the adopted level of
service standard, except for specifically delineated roadways. The
specific roadways that may exceed the level of service standard
established for other City roads are identified in Table T-6. That
table sets an alternate maximum level of service standard consistent
with State or County methodologies. The policy is intended to be
read together with policy E-1.2, which provides for the automatic
revocation of the level of service standard if the City fails to
adopt a TME.
Policy E-1.6: Developments within the TCMA shall use the existing
grid system of streets within the TCMA and surrounding downtown area
for traffic distribution purposes.
Short Title - Development to Use Grid Distribution
Justification~ This policy formalizes the concepts in the Analysis
section of this Element and the GAE traffic analysis relating to the
presence of multiple trip routes available to traffic travelling the
TCMA and Downtown area due to an existing grid system of streets.
Instituting this Policy allows traffic impact analysis to distr~bute
traffic to the grid system of streets and not unrealistically load
traffic onto just the Collector/ Arterial network.
Policy E-i.?~ For mass transit facilities located within the
Downtown interim TCMA~ the level of service standards shall be as
established in the County Comprehensive Plan.
Short Title - Downtown Transit LOS standards
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1., F.A.C., requires that a
policy be provided establishing levels of service standards at peak
hour for mass transit facilities. The County is the mass transit
provider for the City, and therefore its level of service policy is
used. Although the rule permits the establishment of a lower level
of service standard, the proposed policy adopts the County's
existing level of service standard for purposes of the interim TCMA.
Policy E-1.8 The specific limits on the amount and type (by land
use) of development permitted within the Downtown interim TCMA shall
DRAFT Page 10 DRAFT
be as established in the "Village Center" Development scenario as
defined in Table L-2a of the Future land Use Element.
Short Title - Limits on Downtown Development
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(b), F.A.C., requires that interim
TCMAs be accompanied by specific limits on development. The
proposed policy is consistent with the above identified rule. The
amounts of additional development were based on the data and
analysis previously provided in the GAE application. Such data and
analysis, which has been previously transmitted to the DCA, is
incorporated into this justification by reference.
Policy E-1.9: The Traffic Enqineer of Delray Beach shall set up a
monitorinq program to track new development approvals within the
boundaries of the Downtown Interim TCMA. The sum of the new
development aDDrovals shall be compared to the land use intensities
in Table L-2a. The Traffic Enqineer shall submit a report to the
office of the Planninq Director every six months comparing the sum
of new development approvals to the quantities in said Table.
Short Title - Traffic Enqineer to Monitor Downtown Development
Justification: This policy is internally consistent with and
implements policies E-1.3 and E-1.8 above and sets forth specific
responsibility for preparation and review of needed monitoring
reports.
DRAFT Page 11 DRAFT
OBJECTIVE E-2 COORDINATION OF THE DESIGNATION OF AN INTERIM
TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREAS WITHIN
DELRAY BEACH WITH OTHER ENTITIES
In order to assure interqovernmental coordinationt the City shall
coordinate the desiqnation of the interim TCMA with other entities.
Policy E-2.1= Pursuant to County Comprehensive Plan requirementst
prior to the time the City transmits a comprehensive plan amendment
designatin~ one or more interim TCMAs~ the City shall petition the
Board of County Commissioners (B.C.C.) to establish interim level of
service standards for collector or arterial road links and gateway
road links that are not the responsibility of the City pursuant to
County Traffic Element Objective 13.
Short Title - County Coordination for TCMA Desiqnation
Justification: Objective E-2 and its implementing policies are
required to meet the County Charter conditions which identify the
County as the governmental body having jurisdiction over the
establishment of levels of service on all non-municipality
maintained roads. This objective states that the City will abide by
the County Comprehensive Plan requirements for such level of service
designations on non-City maintained roads.
Subsection 1.3.9(4) of the Charter of Palm Beach County provides
that county ordinances shall prevail over conflicting municipal
ordinances in matters relating to the establishment of levels of
service (LOS) standards for collector and arterial roads which are
not the responsibility of any municipality, and the restriction of
the issuance of development orders which would add traffic to such
roads which have traffic exceeding the adopted level of service
standard. Because of this charter provision, the City is adopting
an objective and implementing policies which provide for the
coordination of the requirement of this charter provision.
The County's Comprehensive Plan establishes a procedure by which the
City can establish an interim TCMA. This procedure allows for an
interim TCMA designation of an area consistent with the previously
reviewed GAE, following City plan amendment adoption and a DCA
finding of the amendment being in-compliance. The County procedure
is established to allow the City to proceed with this designation of
an interim TCMA. The City is then required to notify the County of
the positive DCA finding so that a matching County plan amendment
may be processed. To assure that both the County's and City's plans
are consistent with one another, the objective provides that the
County will amend its plan at the next available opportunity.
Upon a finding that the City plan amendment establishing the interim
TCMA is in compliance, the City is required to provide proof of such
to the County. Upon proof of such compliance, the City may
DRAFT Page 12 DRAFT
immediately take advantage of the municipal interim LOS standard and
need not wait for the County to adopt a comprehensive plan amendment
designating the municipal interim TCMA and municipal interim LOS
standard. To assure that the County's Comprehensive Plan is
consistent to the maximum extent possible with the municipal
comprehensive plan designating the interim TCMA and interim LOS
standard, the objective requires the County to amend its
comprehensive plan during the next available cycle so as to reflect
the municipality's action.
Policy E-2.2: The City commission accepts the authority of the
Board of County Commissioners to impose conditions upon the approval
of any interim level of service standard which impacts a road not
under City jurisdiction~ including but not limited tod monitoring
and status reports~ phasing requirements~ roadway improvements~
bikeway and pedestrian system improvements~ and TDM and TSM
measures.
Short Title - County Commission requirements for TCMA Designation
Justification: Policy E-2.2 is intended to implement objective E-2
and to describe the types of conditions that the County may impose
is setting the interim LOS standard provided for in policy E-2.1.
These conditions and policy are generally consistent with Rule
9J-5.0057 F.A.C. pertaining to the operations of a TCMA.
The monitoring reports are intended to address whether compliance
has occurred with respect to the conditions of approval and the
limits on development. These reports are intended to be provided on
at least an annual basis.
The status reports are intended to be reports which indicate what
progress is being made toward providing the data and analysis
required by the TCMA rule in order to provide the data and analysis
necessary to adopt a TME.
The phasing and remaining requirements are intended to serve as a
mechanism for assuring that interim LOS standards are not violated.

to adopt such a policy if TCMAs are designated in a Comprehensive
Plan. Also, internal consistency within' the Elements of the Plan
must be stated. The proposed policy implements and is consistent
with the above identified rule.
Policy E-5.5: Delray Beach shall establish strateqies to encouraqe
local traffic to use alternatives to the Florida Intrastate Hiqhway
System to protect its interreqional and intrastate functions. This

the Downtown TCMA.
Short Title - Florida Intrastate Hiqhway System
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)14., F.A.C., requires the City
to adopt such a policy if TCMAs are designated in a Comprehensive
Plan. The proposed policy implements and is consistent with the
above identified rule. The Downtown TCMA is a place where trips
which would otherwise be regional trips can be satisfied. This will
therefore serve to keep local traffic local, and not on the Florida
Intrastate Highway System.
Other strategies which could be considered to accomplish this goal
are the increased use of transit (Policy E-6.1), bicycles (Policy
E-3.4), walking (Policy E-3.4), and through the use of TDM
activities (Policy E-3.6).

Short Title - Transit LOS Standards
Justification: Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1., F.A.C., requires the City
to adopt such a policy if TCMAs are designated in a Comprehensive
Plan. The proposed policy implements and is consistent with the
above identified rule. This Policy relates to Policy A-1.4 of the
Traffic Element.
These measures of LOS may include items deemed to be appropriate by
the agencies stated in this Policy. They may include transit
coverage or exposure (ie: total area within 3 blocks of transit
line), and/or the numbers of enhancements made to the transit
facilities which would likely increase ridership and therefore
reduce single occupant vehicle trips. ,
Policy E-6.~: Delray Beach shall establish numerical indicators
against which the achievement of mobility goals can be measured.
Such indicators could include modal split~ annual transit trips per
capita, automobile occupancy rates, and numbers of pedestrians and
bicyclists.

Management system will be implemented pursuant to the requirements
of goal area "E" of the Traffic Element~ the Position of Traffic
Engineer shall be maintained.
Short Title - Commitment for TCMA Concurrency Management
Justification: Rule 9J-5.016 requires commitment in the Capital
Improvements Element to have a TCMA Concurrency Management system.
Within Traffic Element Policy E-1.9, the Traffic Engineer is

a~signment is part of the job description for said position.
Policy A-3.12: In FY 1992/93, the City shall pursue cooperative
funding among the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning
Organization~ Florida Department of Transportation and Palm Beach
County for the preparation of a TME.
Short Title - FY 92/93 Preparation of TME
Justification: The Delray Beach TME will be an integral part of the
creation of the County TME and other TCMA's within the County. The
City TME will be prepared in a quicker time frame than the County
TME due to it being a more manageable project. The Delray Beach TME
will serve as a prototype for TME's which will be needed by West
Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, the County, and others who sought GAE's
and will be seeking TCMA's. As our TME will be the prototype and be
the first one through the 'process' for a jurisdiction in the
County, joint participatory funding is appropriate.
DRAFT Page 21 DRAFT
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
The City developed the downtown "Village Center" development
scenario through a series of planning hearings and workshops over a
one year period. The Planning and Zoning Board, and City Commission
of Delray Beach held public hearings prior to adoption of the GAE
application. The development scenario was then submitted to, and
reviewed by, the Palm Beach County Wide Planning Council. That
Council held public hearings on the GAE application. In early 1992,
the County assumed the role of the County Wide Planning Council and
again held a series of public hearings concerning the GAE
applications.
In the summer of 1992, the City proposed a Plan amendment (92-2) to
accommodate the GAE. The proposed amendment was processed through
the Planning and Zoning Board, and City Commission before being
transmitted to the State DCA for review. The State reviewed
amendment 92-2 and issued an ORC report on October 5, 1992. The
addition of a TCMA to the Plan is in response to this ORC report.
The Transportation Concurrency Management Area rule was discussed
with State, County, and Local officials during a workshop held on
September 29, 1992. This meeting was held at the County Engineering
office. At that time, it was agreed that Delray Beach would proceed
immediately with the initiation of and interim TCMA as a replacement
to the City's GAE and in response to the ORC report.
A draft of the TCMA language was officially transmitted to FDOT
(John Anderson, Anita Vandervalk) and the County Planning Department
(Earl Hahn) on November 20, 1992. No formal comments have been
received from the County. A follow-up meeting was held with both
FDOT representatives on November 30, 1992 to discuss concerns
regarding the draft TCMA language. Meeting comments were formalized
in John Anderson's November 30, 1992, letter (attached). Response
to these comments have been incorporated into this Plan Amendment.
The lowering of road LOS standards shown in Table 6 of the Traffic
Element do not affect other local Jurisdictions road operations.
No changes are proposed to the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element for the purposes of the interim TCMA.
DRAFT Page 22 DRAFT
REVISED TABLE IN THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
The Future Land Use Element was proposed for amendment in plan
amendment 92-2 to include pertinent land use data relative to the
creation of a downtown interim TCMA. The original amendment 92-2
document contained an addition of a new section to this element
(Page III, G-3). Based on the DCA/ORC report issued for amendment
92-2, the Table included in this new section (Table L-2A) is being
revised.
The levels of interim development shown in Table L-2a equate to that
which is likely to occur within the next 36 months. This level of
development is based on the land use and development analysis
contained in the City's GAE. The interim levels of development were
shown to be economically feasible for a 36 month permit and 5 year
build-out time frame. Attached are reference pages from the City's
GAE application which discuss this level of development.
In addition to the GAE analysis relative to land use developments,
the TCMA Rule requires that there be an immediate need for the
interim TCMA designation. This equates to development actions which
are likely to occur and would necessitate the lower road levels of
service defined in the Interim TCMA portion of the Traffic Element.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is currently working on
many such projects.
Downtown Cinema and Mixed Use Redevelopment Project
Pineapple Grove Way Revitalization Program

development east of 1-95. This is particularly true regarding
the competition from regional shopping malls and planned business
and office parks. Thus, to maintain and expand the amount and
viability of development within the Community Redevelopment Area
an aggressive public-private strategy must be pursued to meet the
competitive challenges.
A. Retail Market
Witkin the Community Redevelopment Area there exist a
variety of retail activities including Shoppers Goods,
Restaurants, Neighborhood Convenience Goods and Automobile Sales
and Service. The bulk of this existing retail serves residential
areas east of 1-95.
It is, of course recognized that there is presently an
over-supply of retail space in Palm Beach County generally and
the greater Delray Beach area specifically. However, there is
evidence in several locations throughout South Florida that
consumers are again being attracted by the more interesting
environments of downtown/urban centers rather than more sterile
suburban shopping centers. Examples of this are Coconut Grove and
Mizner Center in Boca Raton.
1. Comparison (ShoDDers) Goods
Downtown Delray Beach, along Atlantic Avenue, between
Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway is the city's oldest
core of shopping activity. A 1991 field survey indicated that
this area contains approximately 895,162 square feet of
commercial building space, with the majority in shoppers goods
retail.
The City of Delray beach proposes to establish a "Downtown
Core Geographic Area of Exception (GAE)" to the Countywide
Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance in order to foster the
continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area.
The viability of the downtown in the marketplace is dependant
upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live,
to work and to shop. The establishment of the GAE will further
this end by allowing the increases in traffic which will
undoubtedly occur.
The vitality of retail areas, particularly those in older
downtowns, has proven dependant on two primary factors which are
as follows:
* The existence of a sufficient amount of quality
retailing, i.e., a critical mass, to attract potential
customers; and
* Proximity of a residential customer base that can
provide activity into the evening hours.
3.11
The proposed GAE development scenario for the downtown core,
recognizes these realities with its emphasis on both retail and
multi-family residential development. As indicated in the GAE
application, actions aimed at enlarging the market area or
increasing the capture rate could increase the amount of
non-office commercial space by an additional 217,832 square feet.
Such actions should include:
* An improved and unified shopping district identity;
* A coordinated advertising and promotion program;
* A coordinated merchandising and leasing strategy; and
* Retail recruitment aimed at additional apparel stores
and a junior department store as a retail anchor.
2. Restaurants
At present, the existing supply of restaurants within the
Community Redevelopment Area is estimated to represent the
current market potential within the existing market area. In
order for additional restaurants to be supported, the downtown
must draw more support from residents west of 1-95 and from
outside the area. This can be accomplished through the actions
designed to expand the comparison (shoppers) goods market and by
providing coordinated shopping and entertainment activities along
Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic Plaza is an excellent example of this
approach.
3. Neighborhood Convenience
Neighborhood convenience retail caters to the daily needs of
nearby residents and includes grocery stores, drugstores and the
like. At present residents in the Community Redevelopment Area
are served by convenience retailers along N.E. 2nd Avenue,
including the Publix shopping center, as well as smaller markets
along Atlantic Avenue. Because little local population growth is
projected, much potential does not exist for the expansion of
the convenience retail market within the Community Redevelopment
Area. On the contrary, the current trend of coupling gas
stations with convenience stores and the development of new
modern community shopping centers outside the Community
Redevelopment Area may reduce support for existing convenience
retail along N.E. 2nd Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue. Thus, the
objective of the Plan is to maintain the competitive position of
the existing convenience retail market.
4. Automobile Dealers
Automobile dealers and related uses have historically
concentrated along Federal Highway in South Delray, representing
a significant portion of the county's automobile sales. The
availability of highly accessible land areas for such
3.12
These specific redevelopment projects, identified for
implementation within the short range (1992 - 1997) time period,
constitute the most immediate actions recommended by the Plan.
It should be noted; however, that many of these projects are in
the early stages of planning. Therefore, some impacts resulting
from their implementation may as yet be undetermined. As these
projects become more clearly defined, and additional impacts are
identified, this section of the Plan will be amended. Other
actions described in the Plan for subsequent years are subject to
further refinement and elaboration in the intervening period and
are consequently not included in the consideration of short range
impacts.
A. Relocation Of Displaced Residents and Businesses
The only residential relocations currently contemplated by
this plan are in connection with the expansion of the South
County Courthouse. However, while no other relocations are
anticipated at this time, it is important to note that changing
conditions or modifications to planned projects may result in
some residential displacement. In the event that existing or
future projects do require the relocation of residents, a
relocation plan will be submitted and approved as a component of
the project package prior to official action on the project.
It is also important to note that through the combined
efforts of the Community Redevelopment Agency, the City and the
Delray Beach Housing Authority, the neighborhood housing stock
will be expanded and thereby provide opportunities for the
relocation of residents elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The displacement of some existing businesses is contemplated
with the majority of the planned redevelopment projects of the
CRA. During the planning phase of each redevelopment project,
the relocation of displaced businesses will be considered.
To protect the residents and businesses within the Community
Redevelopment Area, the CRA shall formally adopt procedures for
relocation. When required by redevelopment actions, the
relocation of residents or businesses within the Community
Redevelopment Area will follow these procedures. Expenses and
financial assistance required by these procedures shall become
the responsibility of the Community Redevelopment Agency.
B. Traffic Circulation
Although the proposed redevelopment actions will inevitably
increase overall traffic, the Community Redevelopment Area is
blessed with an existing roadway network that services the entire
area. Additionally, the Decade of Excellence Bond contains many
traffic circulation improvement projects including street
reconstructions, alleyway improvements and road widenings, which
will increase the functional capacity of the existing system.
3.17
The major redevelopment projects contained within this plan are
generally adjacent to major transportation corridors and are not
anticipated to degrade traffic circulation within the residential
areas of the Community Redevelopment Area.
The major impacts of the CRA's redevelopment efforts on the
existing roadway network will occur through its efforts to
revitalize and redevelop the downtown core. For this reason, the
City has requested a "Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception"
to the Countywide Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. This
exception will allow increased traffic volumes as a result of
this redevelopment effort on the County and State roadway system.
It should be noted; however, that continued development and
redevelopment of the compact downtown core should also encourage
alternate means of transportation, particularity where employment
and housing are within walking distance of each other. A
component of the redevelopment effort is the provision of
housing units within the downtown area. Many of the residents of
these housing units will then be able to walk or bicycle to
shopping or to work.
Several other redevelopment projects, located outside the
downtown, are aimed at increasing economic vitality through the
additional of employment or shopping opportunities. The close
proximity of residential development to these projects will, as
in the downtown, create opportunities for residents to walk or
bicycle to work.
Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects
may require improvements or modifications to the existing roadway
network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when specific
project designs are undertaken. It is also recommended that
architectural and site-specific design solutions be considered to
mitigate potential traffic and parking impacts of specific
projects on adjacent residential neighborhoods.
C. Environmental Quality
The redevelopment actions proposed in the Plan are intended
to and anticipated to improve the environmental quality within
the Redevelopment Area. At least one program, the Subsidized
Loan Program, will have positive impacts throughout the Community
Redevelopment Area. This program allows residents throughout the
area to make exterior improvements to their properties which they
could not otherwise afford. It is expected that improvements
associated with this program will foster a new sense of community
pride and spur additional revitalization efforts throughout the
area.
Streetscape and landscape improvements associated with many
of the redevelopment projects will, when completed, upgrade the
overall appearance of surrounding areas. Several projects,
3.18
The following sections provide a detailed description of all
current and proposed projects and programs for which funding is
provided, or will be provided, by the Community Redevelopment
Agency. For organizational purposes, these projects and programs
have been divided into three groups: Group "1": Planning; Group
"2": Redevelopment; and Group "3": Community Improvement. This
organizational structure is not; however meant to be mutually
exclusive, since many projects contain components which fit into
more than one category.
A. GRO{]P "1": PLANNING
% 1.1: "Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception"
Background
In November, 1990, the City of Delray Beach Planning
Director made a presentation to the CRA on the 1990 Countywide
Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance and its effect on the
City. Under the ordinance, the City may not issue development
orders for a proposed project if it adds traffic to county or
state roadways, within its radius of influence, which causes
total traffic to exceed the adopted Levels of Service (LOS). The
ordinance does; however, include provisions for "Geographic Areas
of Exception (GAE)", which allow the County to set new lower
levels of service for roadways which will be impacted by
development within the GAE. This means that development within
the GAE is then allowed to increase traffic on area roadways
beyond previously permitted levels.
The City of Delray Beach proposes to establish a Downtown
Core GAE in order to foster the continued development and
redevelopment of the downtown area. In essence, the
revitalization of the downtown is dependant upon the City's
ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to
shop. The establishment of the GAE will further the City's goals
by allowing the increases in traffic which will undoubtedly occur
as a result. Without the GAE, only minimal development within
the downtown would be permitted. Due to its tremendous impact on
overall redevelopment efforts, the CRA agreed to fund the
preparation of the GAE application as well as application fees.
The territory within the GAE includes the CBD zone district, west
of the Intracoastal waterway, as well as the Old School Square
Historic Arts District, immediately to the west of the CBD. On
March 27, 1991, the CRA hosted a workshop at the Old School
Square Gym for the purpose of reaching a consensus as to the CBD
development scenario to be used in the GAE application. During
the course of the day, the group was presented with three
development scenarios. The three scenarios, listed in order of
increasing overall intensity were referred to as 1) Laissez
Faire, 2) Urban Village and 3) Urban Center. Based on a series
of presentations, evaluations and discussions, the group arrived
4.3
at a consensus that the Urban Center Scenario was realistic and
generally desirable but should be modified in order to protect
the "Village by the Sea" character deemed essential to Delray
Beach's preferred identity and quality of life. The final
proposed development scenario is a composite entitled "Village
Center" .
Project Ob~ectives
* Increase development potential and ultimately the tax base
of the downtown core
* Provide the opportunity to attract major development to the
downtown which may otherwise not be permitted due to traffic
considerations.

# 2.3: "Downtown Anchor and Parking"
Background
The 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan identified the need
for a 50,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. Junior department store and/or
mixed use development to serve as an additional anchor for the
downtown retail core. The Plan proposed that the project occur
4.11
after 1990 and included an allocation of $500,000 to assist in
covering the cost of land assembly, relocation and
infrastructure.
In 1988 to 1989, efforts were made by the City, the CRA and
the DDA to attract Jacobson's Department Store to Downtown Delra¥
Beach. Several studies including a Master Parking Plan, a
Downtown Retail Study and a Economic/Fiscal Impact Study were
prepared, negotiations took place and proposals were written.
Ultimately, both the CRA and the City endorsed the location of
Jacobson's at Atlantic Plaza and agreed to provide a parking
structure to support the development. A final proposal was
completed outlining total costs of the garage and the sharing of
costs. The CRA then proceeded under the proposal to acquire the
land for the parking structure. When the CRA's actions were
legally challenged as being inconsistent with the adopted
Redevelopment Plan, the project was terminated.

9 2.4: "Downtown Cinema and Mixed Use Redevelopment
Project"
Background
Since its creation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has
consistently made efforts to attract new businesses into Downtown
Delray Beach. The economic importance of the Downtown and the
need for major attractions and nighttime activity generators was
well recognized in the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The
City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and
competitive commercial marketplace, has included several policies
in its Comprehensive Plan toward achieving that end.
In March, 1991, the CRA began soliciting major multiplex
cinema operators to develop a new facility in Downtown Delray
Beach. After several meetings with various operators and
community leaders, it was concluded that the development of a
multiplex cinema and mixed-use project in downtown Delray Beach
would provide a significant economic boost to the area.
Project Objectives
* Provide economic stimulation and investment in the CBD.
* Improve marketability of the retail core.
* Through its attraction of teens, diversify the age structure
of visitors to the Downtown area, thereby, creating the
opportunity for additional market expansion.

# 2.5: "Block #76 & #84 Redevelopment"
Background
These blocks, located between N.E. 1st. Avenue and the FEC
Railroad, between Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 1st. Street, are
adjacent to the Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. This
location makes this a principal area to take advantage of spin-
off activity generated by the Center. Additionally, this is one
of the few locations which may take advantage of $500,000 of
redevelopment seed money available under the Decade of Excellence
Bond. Both blocks contain structures in deteriorated condition
and uses which have a blighting influence on the surrounding area
and are inconsistent with the ultimate goals and proposed image
for the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood.
.Project Objectives
* Eliminate the blighting influences within these blocks
* Redevelop the blocks to take advantage of its prime location
adjacent to Old School Square
* Increase the economic vitality of the CBD through the
attraction of new businesses
Project Description

~ 2.7: "Pineapple Grove Neighborhood Plan
Implementation"
Backqround
The preparation of the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood Plan was
authorized by the City's Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element
Policy C-4.8. The draft document was prepared by the City's
Planning Department in close cooperation with the Pineapple Grove
Support Group. It is anticipated that this plan will be adopted
by the City in FY 1991/1992. The Neighborhood Plan will,
through successful execution of its implementation strategies,
help to create an appealing, mixed-use, village-like
neighborhood, characterized by arts and culture related
businesses and activities. The Plan presents an incremental and
evolutionary approach to revitalization. 'The neighborhood-wide
renaissance that is foreseen for Pineapple Grove will occur
through a public/private cooperative effort by means of several
simultaneous revitalization activities.
While, individual roles in the overall implementation of the
Neighborhood Plan have not yet been established, the Community
Redevelopment Agency has accepted a leadership role in several
specific elements of the Plan, such as the Banker's Row Project
and the revitalization of Pineapple Grove Way (N.E. 2nd Avenue).
These projects have already been defined and are included as
individual projects within this Community Redevelopment Plan.
CRA involvement in the implementation of other aspects of
the Neighborhood Plan may include a participatory role in the
provision of funding for selected redevelopment projects or
neighborhood improvement programs.
Program Objectives

~ 2.8: "Bankers Row Project Implementation"
Backqround
Banker's Row, the 200 block of NE 1st Avenue is a downtown
residential block which includes single family, rear guest
cottages, and some home-occupation uses. The block is located
within the Old School Square Historic Arts District which
includes most of the City's oldest homes. Banker's Row includes
16 of these historic (built before 1940) residences.
This project was born when, under the auspices of the
Historic Preservation Board and the City's Planning Department,
application was made to the Florida Department of State, Division
of Historical Resources for a Preservation Grant. A $24,000
planning grant was awarded by the State with provisions for the
City to allocate a matching share toward the project. The
project has three separate but related components. These are: a
study and evaluation of the historic significance of the Banker's
Row block and an analysis of the architecture of its structures;
the preparation of a streetscape design plan, architectural
4.18
design guidelines, and lot development guidelines; and the
creation of a planning program for the private property owners of
Bankers Row. The project was culminated by the preparation of a
document entitled, "BANKERS ROW - A PROGRAM FOR RE-USE &
RESTORATION"

# 2.9: "Pineapple Grove Way Revitalization Program"
Background
This program represents the implementation of several
strategies contained within the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood
'Plan. It is also an expansion of previous City and CRA efforts
to improve the environment along the major retail corridor of the
Neighborhood. In August, 1989, the City Commission approved a
streetscape program for Pineapple Grove Way. Improvements
included the creation of landscape intersection nodes, street
trees within the sidewalks, and four pods to accommodate
previously commissioned sculptures.
In 1990, as an outgrowth of the City's program, the CRA
funded the preparation of a prototype design for the 100 block of
Pineapple Grove Way, including additional streetscape and facade
improvements. When the block design was completed, preliminary
estimates indicated that the overall construction cost of the
proposed improvements would be very expensive. Although the
neighborhood was generally enthusiastic and supportive of the
plan, the downturn in the economic climate of the early 90's,
made it impossible for the CRA to secure the required financial
commitments from the businesses within the 100 block to
participate in the program. Subsequently, the CRA was forced to
put the project on hold.
In March 1991, the City indicated that the budget for its
streetscape project would not allow the use of paver blocks at
the intersection nodes as originally anticipated. The CRA then
amended its Redevelopment Plan to include the project and
allocated $10,000 for paver block installation. Construction of
the improvements was begun in October 1991.
program Objectives
* Physical and economic revitalization of Pineapple Grove Way
* Create an epicenter for future spin off revitalization
efforts within the neighborhood.

9 2.12: "Old School Square Cultural Center"
Background
Beginning in late 1985, a group of concerned citizens
established a task force to save the old schools, which the Palm
Beach County School Board had planned to abandon. The 4 acre
site of the Delray Beach Elementary School, containing two school
buildings, a 350 seat auditorium and a gymnasium seemed to have
potential, not only as an important historic preservation
project, but also as an arts center benefitting Delray Beach and
the surrounding communities. The Historical Society established
a committee to establish the possibility of restoring all or a
portion of the school complex and to locate a historical museum
within the school.
The committee, now Old School Square, Inc. reported its
findings to the City Commission in 1987 and recommended the
restoration of the facility and development of an art and
cultural center. A professional feasibility study was prepared
and determined the project to be feasible. Hence, engineering
surveys of the existing buildings and building plans were
prepared and the restoration project began in 1988.
The on-going restoration and development of the 6.6 million
dollar center has become a source of pride to Delray Beach
residents. Serving as the centerpiece of the Atlantic Avenue
Business Corridor from 1-95 to A-l-A, the center which opened in
1990, now includes a museum, gift shop, community meeting room
and a visual arts center/gallery. In the fall of 1992, when
renovations are completed on the 1925 building, fronting on
Swinton Avenue, the complex will also host theatre productions,
concerts, ballets and classes. The Arcade of Old School Square,
the last phase of the project, is planned for outdoor exhibits,
concerts, festivals, large parties, and "Sunday in the Park" type
entertainment for the enjoyment of the entire community.
Project Ob~ectives
* Establish a strong cultural identity in Delray Beach
* Promote Arts and cultural activities as a means to foster
increased economic development within the city center
* Provide a cornerstone for the revitalization and
redevelopment of the Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor and
the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood.
* Create an attraction for both tourist and residents to the
area.

Background
Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, which is located at
the southwest corner of NW 1st Street and NW 4th Avenue, lies
within "Redevelopment Area #1" as defined by the City of Delray
Beach Comprehensive Plan. This section of West Atlantic Avenue
is in the midst of a major redevelopment effort including the
newly constructed Police Station and South County Courthouse and
other current projects such as Peach Umbrella Plaza and Fire
Station #1. Since the church already owns a substantial portion
of Block 28, it is in a favorable position to provide a positive
boost to the city's ongoing redevelopment efforts. The church's
goals for redevelopment include expansion of its existing
building with increased parking and the addition of a church
supported community center and an elderly housing project.
4.25
Project Schedule
* Phase 1 to begin in FY 1991/1992

# 2.14: "Downtown Core Improvement Program"
Background
The downtown core, between Swinton Avenue and the
Intracoastal Waterway, has been in the midst of a major
revitalization effort for several years. The Atlantic Avenue
Beautification Project has contributed to the overall charm and
appeal of the area for the pedestrian shopper. Other projects
for the area contained within this CRA Plan or the City's
Comprehensive Plan are geared to stimulate additional investment
in the downtown by improving marketability.

C. GROUP "3": COMMU~IT~ I~PROVE~E]~T
~ 3.1: "CRA Subsidized Loan Program"
Backqround
After receiving various proposals from a number of banks
relative to providing low interest loans for private residential
and commercial property improvements as part of their obligations
under the Community Reinvestment act, the CRA Board decided to
request specific proposals and interest rates. The intent was to
develop a pool of money from one or more banks which could be
used to provide loans to Community Redevelopment Area residents.
As an incentive and inducement for property owners to improve and
upgrade their property, the CRA decided to assist them by buying
down the interest and making no-interest loans available through
the lending institutions.
On August 27, 1990 the CRA board amended its Community
Redevelopment Plan through Resolution No. 90-A to provide for the
implementation of the program to subsidize the interest on loans
used to enhance or upgrade the exterior of privately owned
properties within the Community Redevelopment Area. This action
was further supported through adoption of Resolution No. 86-90 by
the City Commission.
After development of the criteria for the program and
negotiations with the lending institution, the CRA entered into
an agreement with First Union National Bank as the lender and the
4.28
~ 3.4: "Delray Beach Trolley System"
Backqround
In 1985, the Atlantic Avenue Task Force presented a report
to the City Commission which outlined a listed of proposed
physical improvements along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor. One of
the improvements discussed was the use of a tram system to
connect the downtown area to A1A. The notion of a downtown
shuttle was furthered in the City's Comprehensive Plan, which
states that the City will develop a program in FY 91/92 for an
in-town shuttle system which links the rail stations, the central
business district and the beach.
It is hoped that development of a trolley system will
significantly bolster downtown revitalization efforts. By
providing a direct link to the rail station and the beach, the
trolley will greatly increase the accessibility of the downtown
to the residential neighborhoods east of 1-95 and others who may
wish to utilize the Tri-Rail system for a day at the beach, to
visit Old School Square or to shop in downtown Delray. In 1991,
the DDA tentatively endorsed the idea when it agreed to assist
the CRA and the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce to
determine the feasibility of the proposed system.
project Objectives
* Develop an alternative means of transportation between the
Tri-rail station and the beach along Atlantic Avenue.
* Increase market appeal of the downtown, both to visitors and
to new business
Project Description
* Phase One of the project shall be the preparation of a
feasibility study for the proposed system
* The work program for subsequent phases will be based upon
the results of Phase One
Project Participants and Administration
* The project study will be developed Jointly by the City,
CRA, DDA and the Chamber of Commerce.
* The CRA shall take the lead role in setting up the system

This section of the Community Redevelopment Plan provides a
five-year funding program for the Planning, Redevelopment and
Community Improvement programs & projects which were previously
identified within the Plan. Many allocations for individual
projects include funding for planning only and are identified as
such. Since allocations for implementation are not generally
made until project planning Is complete, an overall "Project
Implementation" allocation is included within the five-year
program. Project-specific funding allocations will be identified
for each project when brought forward for actual implementation
and the plan amended accordingly.

residential neighborhoods. The following policies and
activities shall be pursued in the achievement of this
objective:
POLICY C-7.1: The Community Redevelopment Agency shall work with
the City in the preparation of a neighborhood plan for the
residential neighborhoods within this sub-area. The Agency may
utilize its unique powers and financial resources for the
implementation of appropriate provisions of this plan.
OBJECTIVE C-8:
Geographic Sub-Area #7, "Osceola Park", shall be encouraged
to remain a mixed use area. The northern portion of the.
sub-area (i.e. north of S.E. 5th Street may be redeveloped
as a model mixed use area containing commercial and high
density residential development. The southern portion of
the area shall be revitalized and rehabilitated in order to
promote the stabilization of the residential neighborhood
and regain its stature and community identity. The

lead agency in implementing the Redevelopment Plan. It shall
pursue the construction of specified redevelopment projects
within this area. Its role in the projects shall be one of
active participation and may include, but is not limited to,
property acquisition, building demolition, provision of parking
facilities and infrastructure improvements. The location and
intensity of this development shall follow the Redevelopment
Plan.
OBJECTIVE C-9:
Geographic Sub-Area #8, "I-95/10th Street, is encouraged to
remain a mixed use area. However, its light industrial
orientation shall be increased through the addition of clean
industrial uses on vacant property east of the existing
light industry. The existing residential neighborhood shall
be revitalized and rehabilitated in order to promote
stabilization. The following policies and activities shall
be pursued in the achievement of this objective:
POLICY C-9.1: The Community Redevelopment Agency shall recommend
an amendment to the City's comprehensive plan to reclassify the
vacant property between the existing industrial area and the
residential neighborhood to industrial. The amendment may
include specific policies which restrict use of the property to
clean industrial uses which are non-impacting on the existing
wellfield.
POLICY C-9.2: The Community Redevelopment Agency shall work with
the City in the preparation of a neighborhood plan for the
residential neighborhood within this sub-area. The Agency may
provide funding or utilize its unique powers for implementation
of appropriate provisions of this plan.

1.d) Future Land Use
4) Major Employment Base Increase
From a total of less than 90,000 square feet both for
the PA and the GAE to a projected total of over 180,000
square feet, "Industrial" development represents the second
highest category of growth (commercial development
representing a 219,422 sq. ft. (PA) and 217,832 sq. ft (GAE)
growth). The commitment to re-establish this area' as an
employment center is focused in areas immediately adjacent
to the railroad tracks, particularly in the Pineapple Grove
area. This increase in industrial/warehouse employment
(assuming a standard of 1.8 Jobs per 1,000 square feet of
industrial and 1.3 Jobs-per 1,000 square feet of warehouse)
would translate into a net increase of 124 Jobs for these uses
alone. Commercial growth would account for an additional
467 (PA), 463 (GAE)Job growth.
Total employment growth, after discounting for a small net
decline in office and warehouse uses would amount to 899
(PA) and 780 (GAE).
5) Specific components of the 'Village Center" proposed for
Delray Beach include:
New Junior Department Store ~nd Parking Garage. A
60,000 square foot store is envisioned near the N.S./E.W.
axis of Atlantic Avenue and the U.S. 1 one-way pairs. A two
or three level parking garage on an adjoining block will help
make such a retail anchor viable and provide additional
parking for the central part of the downtown. The Junior
Department Store is envisioned to be a part of a full block
of' redevelopment which would also include smaller
commercial shops fronting an interior public plaza.
Civic Park & Phza, This park is envisioned to be a
centerpiece for commercial and mixed use residential
development along the Federal Highway corridor. If combined
with the proposed Junior Department Store anchor, this park
will serve as a complementary anchor of a new north/south
axis of commercial development extending north and south
from the current east/west downtown retail core. A new
parking garage with retail on the ground level would provide
needed parking for the planned retail in this civic park &
plaza area.
~_ Delray Beach GAE 20
l.d) Future Land Use
Highly visible from both N/S one way Federal Highway pairs
the Civic Park and Plaza can act as a gateway to the
downtown for travelers from the north and provide the
foundation for an informal public social/ entertainment
environment serving not only shoppers in the area but more
importantly, providing a public open space amenity adjacent
to new mixed use multi-family neighborhoods to the north
and west.
Old School Square Redevelopment Area. The nearly
completed renovation of the Old School Square block provides
an entry to downtown and the opportunity for serving as the
hub of an expanded cultural, educational and civic area.
The expansion to the east (to the r~tlroad tracks) would
accommodate complementary uses and could include
development such as a building relocation site. where historic
buildings previously scheduled for demolition could be
assembled and converted into a specialty retail/entertainment
district, including an open air market/antique area.
Pineapple Grove Way Enhancement. This corridor is
envisioned for adaptive reuse as a community specialty retail
area with a focus on arts, crafts and design industry uses.
Formerly a healthy retail strip, much of the retail has been
replaced with less intense service uses. The lower cost
buildings (compared to prime Atlantic Avenue frontage) would
be ideal to attract galleries, studios, and crafts retail, while
community retail and service use would be retained in "Fhe
Publix shopping Center." From its beginning at Atlantic
Avenue to 4th Street on the north, this street is programmed
for extensive landscaping and streetscape improvements.
Pineapple Grove "Business Park". The bulk of the future
employment increase will occur in the eastern portion of
Pineapple Grove, along both sides of the railroad tracks.
While there are currently a number of industrial and
warehouse uses in this area, it appears rather fragmented
and disjointed with occasional pockets of single family homes
scattered amidst the warehouse and industrial buildings. To
attract significant additional employment in this area will
require a concentrated effort to promote the advantages of
the relatively low cost sites with available infrastructure. A
'"ousiness park" type improvement effort that would involve
some coordinated streetscape and landscape improvement
would be helpful as would a coordinated marketing effort
similar to those of private business parks.
/ Delray Beach GAE 21
1.d) Future Land Use ,
The thematic focus should be on arts, crafts, design
professions, specialty construction services, etc. which will
give the area a certain synergy not found in the newer
business parks west of town. Pineapple Grove Business Park
could provide support for the retail development along
Pineapple Grove Way, which could showcase art, crafts, and
other products produced in the adjacent Business Park.
The Old School Square Historic Arts District, which
previously included five different zoning classifications, has
recently been rezoned into a single Historic Arts district.
This is intended to encourage adaptive reuse of older homes
as galleries, offices, studios, and cottage businesses. While
currently, predominantly a single family area, it is envisioned
to develop into more of a mixed-use area. Additionally, some
tear-down redevelopment is also expected, though the scale
would be limited to assure compatibility with remaining
residential uses.
Bankers Row.' This historic one block stretch of N.E. 1st
Avenue within the Old School Square Historical Arts District
presents a compact version of early "cottage" architecture as
(' well as some larger Mediterranean style homes. Conversion
of some of these buildings to professional offices is occurring
with a sensitive historic touch. Future renovations of a
similar character are envisioned.
Atlantic Avenue Bemchside (Not within the GAE). This
area, catering to the beach recreational and resort traffic, is
planned for extensive streetscape enhancement - similar in
quality to the successful streetscape improvements west of
the Intracoastal. The planned 100 room expansion of the
Holiday Inn at Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Boulevard is the
only significant development programmed for this area.
While renovation is expected to continue in this area, no
significant amount of new commercial or hotel development
(other than the Holiday Inn) is planned.
Delray Beach GAE 22
1.d) Future Land Use
NE 1st Street, SE 1st Street Bypass. The designation of
these two streets as a one-way pair around the heart of the
Atlantic Avenue retail core has been encouraging. The
'Village Center" concept calls for a distinctive street tree
planting program as well as a coordinated directional signage
program to both beautify this otherwise nondescript route
and to inform travellers of the proximity to the retail core
and parking.
While additional traffic on this bypass should result from
these improvements, no significant amount of additional
retail or office use Is proposed to front on these bypass
routes. The idea is to keep such uses focussed on Atlantic
Avenue, along the planned N/S retail axis, the Federal
Highway corridor, and along Pineapple Grove Way.
Additional "Resort-Type" Development, A large part of the
attraction and success of the downtown Delray Beach area
can be contributed directly to its proximity to the beach and
to Atlantic Avenue's primary access to the beach. The
continuous vehicular traffic that is thus generated has
afforded this downtown area with a continuous flow of
. buying public. To further enhance this base economy,
~ additional tourist and resort-oriented businesses will be
encouraged.
As an example, the potential for bed and breakfast type uses
has not even begun to be established. Some of the
remaining larger homes in the downtown area (perhaps in
a redeveloped Pineapple Grove or Old School Square District)
would be prime candidates. Some of the "upstairs" space
over existing retail on Atlantic Avenue may also pose such
potential.
Other potential resort-oriented type development includes
additional recreational/entertainment uses such as comedy
clubs, small playhouses, or a movie theatre/cinema. The key
to the success of such development is to link it together to
establish a viable evening entertainment area. The existing
Colony Hotel and/or a renovated "rap Room" could be the
beginning of such a focus.
(' Delray Beach GAE 23
1.d) Future Land Use
The downtown area already has an advantage of the
distinctive '~illage by the Sea" character that sets it apart
from its suburban entertainment centers which are typically
isolated and unrelated to each other. The proximity of
downtown Delray Beach to the Intracoastal and the Ocean
provides amenities and an ambience that cannot be matched
further inland.
5) Timetable for Development:
The previously described features of 'the proposed '~rillage
Center" scenario are anticipated to evolve over a 20 year
period. Public investments in infrastructure improvements
and beautification have already begun and will be the "lead"
ingredients with most of them already programmed to be
accomplished by the end of the 1990's as part of the "Decade
of Excellence" bond program. Through the commitment to
infrastructure improvements and by securing the GAE
approval the City hopes to stimulate concurrent private
sector investment with the bulk of it occurring over the next
5 years (Phase I).
1.d) ii. Describe the land uses within_ the proposed G.A.E.
Include discussion on the change in density or intensity
and the location of such as it relates to the effort to
b~l. nce land uses and shorten corrtmutin~ distances.
Discuss the followinf:
a, Densities within the 1/4 mile service area of all
transit routes:
All of the G.A.E. area is within 1/4 mile of existing bus
routes. There are currently no bus routes, however,
east of the Intracoastal that could serve the "Atlantic
Avenue - Beachside' area. A "shuttle" bus loop has
been proposed to extend the full length of Atlantic
Avenue from 1-95 to Ocean Boulevard. Not only would
this make it easier to shop the full length of Atlantic
Avenue and potentially reduce the number of auto
trips, it would also provide a transit opportunity for
nearby residential areas thus availing these residents
of the new employment opportunities that are
envisioned. See exhibit 1-4.
Delray Beach GAE' 24
1.d) Future Land Use
1.d) ii. e. Overall reduction in the vehicle _miles traveled in
the area as a result of the additional development.
The provision of housing units in close proximity to
existing and proposed employment, shopping and
recreation opportunities will result in a reduction in
vehicle miles travelled as compared to a scenario
without housing units. Residents of the housing units
will be able to walk or bicycle to work, shopping or the
nearby beaches. The number of vehicle trips generated
by proposed hotel units should also be fewer than for
a typical hotel unit. The reason for this is the
proximity, within walking distance, of numerous
recreational and shopping opportunities.
1,e) Other
i. Describe how the additional development fits into the overall
redevelopment plan for local government.
The redevelopment plans for the City are embodied within Goal
Area "C' of the "Future Land use" element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan (as amended 11/20/90).
"-" Goal Area "C": Blighted areas of the City sba!! be redeveloped and
renewed and shal_! be the major contributing areas to the
reno!$sance of Delray Beach.
The relationships of specific policies and objectives to the proposed
Village Center scenario follow in parenthesis after each statement.
PolicY C-3.1 The City of Delray Beach hereby acknowledges the
role of Culfi~e and the Arts in Economic Development and pledges
in purs~_~_it of a theme of this Comprehensive Plan -- A Reno!ssance
Community -- the promotion of the arts and accommodation of
cultur~ activities for economic development ends. (Within the GAE,
further development of the Old School Square Historic Arts District
and the recently established Pineapple Grove Neighborhood are
proposed to feature arts, crafts, design and related businesses.
This would include retail, wholesale and manufacturing.)
,~" Delray Beach GAE 27
1.e) Other
Policy_ C-3.4. The City's Coastal Area is one of its rn~st valuable
resources in terms of economic attraction, recreation, and natural
bea~_~_ty. While action is appropriate to capitalize upon the economic
benefits of this resource, commercialization and prorn~tl~n shall not
occur to such an extent that they diminish this beach resource.
(The Atlantic Avenue Beachside portion of the CBD is proposed for
only minimal additional commercialization with less than 2,000
square feet of additional commercial development).
Policy_ C-4.2 The modif~d CBD Zoning District shall be extended
eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, northward to inc~_~_~_de the Pineapple
Grove District, and south to 3rd Street. (All of this area is included
in the Planning Area for this study. The GAlS as discussed earlier,
excludes the Beachside portion of the CBD from the Atlantic Ocean
to the Intracoastal).
Policy_ C-4.3 A special CBD development plan shall be developed
jointly by the CRA and the City .... It shall address the maximum
development which can be accommodated in a competitive market
while still retaining "village like, community by-the-sea" character
of the CBD. (This GAE document and planning effort has been
Jointly sponsored and reviewed by the CRA and the City and
reflects the full bufldout of the CBD. This document is a precursor
to a more detailed development plan to be prepared after approval
of the OAE.)
Objective C-4: The Central Business District (CBD) represents the
essence of what is Delray Beach i.e. a "village like, community by
the sea." The continued revitalization of the CBD is essential to
achieving the overall theme of the City's Comprehensive Plan of 'A
City Set Apart In South F~rida.' (The additional development and
redevelopment envisioned in the GAE '%'illage Center" scenario is
essential to re~ltTation of this objective.)
Policy C-4.4 The Cs~agencyinpursuing the
construction and operation°structures with mixed
uses in the CBD. (The d~ calls for two parking
garages within the GAE).
Policy C-4.9 The following capital improvements have already been
identified as essential components of efforts and programs which
are necessary to keep the CBD a vital and competitive commercial
marketplace ....
Delray Beach GAE 28
l.e) Other
* Phase II of the Old School Square Project
· Phase III of Atlantic Avenue beautification i.e. expansion of
the beautification program east of the bridge to the Ocean
· Alleyway enhancement program
(Each of the above is called for in the devel~)pment scenario
as described elsewhere).
Other policies and objectives specifically related to redevelopment
in the GAE area:
Policy A-2.4 Auto related uses shall not be permitted in the CBD
Zone District or within the geographic area along Federal Highway
which extends four blocks north and three blocks south of Atlantic
Avenue. (No such uses are proposed),
Objective A-4 The redevelopment of land and b~_~_i~_dlngs shall
provide for the preservation of historic resources. {This is a key
part of the plan as proposed for Bankers Row, Old School Square
Complex and District, and Pineapple Grove).
i.i. Discuss what efforts have been made
to
direct
development to the proposed GAE area.
As noted earlier, several organizations have been
created to promote development/redevelopment in the
downtown including the DDA, CRA and the Atlantic
Avenue Merchants Association, as well as the
neighborhood associations for the Pineapple Grove and
Old School Square Districts. All of these groups are
active and the results of their efforts are beginning to
materi-li=e. The City has committed substantial funds
through it's "Decade of Excellence" bond program for
additional beautification and infrastructure
improvements in the downtown. The intent is to create
a more attractive environment thus inducing continued
private investment in the downtown, (See preceding
discussion 1.c) iv., "Efforts at Renewal and
Redevelopment*'). Current city zoning code provisions
also encourage downtown development/redevelopment
with less restrictive code provisions than suburban
locations in Delray Beach.
I Delray Beach GAE 29
6. Economic Analysis/Market Study
6.a) Discuss the economic feasibility and the economic Impact
of the GAE. Include discussion on the economic !~pact of
not granting the GAE.
As discussed in Section I.d. preceding, the land use scenario
for the GAE envisions its continued development in accordance
with a 'q/illage Center" concept, with such development
occurring over a period of twenty years. The planned
development of the GAE will in part be accommodated through
inflll activity on the 17+ acres (P.A.), 15+ acres (GAE) of
currently vacant land, with the b~lk of the new development
occurring through redevelopment of currently marginal and/or
deteriorating properties. Total non-residential building area is
planned to increase approximately 319,060 (P.A.), 317,470 (GAE)
square feet with the emphasis on retail and ~dustrlal uses.
The most significant land use change is a planned increase in
multi-family residential units, with such units increasing from
294 (P.A.), 264 (GAE) to slightly over 1,011 (P.A.), 957 (GAE).
Given the attenuated period in which the modest amounts of
incremental development proposed for the GAE is projected to
occur together with the substantial amounts of demographic
... and economic growth projected for Palm Beach County during
: that period, det_a_!!ed economic feasibility and impact analysis
was not undertaken for the purpose of this application.
Rather, consideration was given to the fundamental question of
whether it is reasonable to expect that the GAE could, in
principal, potentially capture the small share of the dynamic
Palm Beach County market that will be required to support the
incremental increase in developmental levels being proposed.
In addressing this question, it should be first noted that 60,000
square feet of the proposed incremental increase in non-
residential space is related to the capture of a 60,000 square
foot specialty department store. Negotiations with a specific
ret_a_ller with respect to this initiative are ongoing. Successful
conclusion of these negotiations is partially dependent upon the
approval of this application. A study prepared in 1989 by the
firm of Laventhol & Horwath indicated that construction of the
proposed department store could potentially provide impetus for
an additional 85,000 square feet of new ret_a_tl space as well as
better uttlt?ation of existing facilities.
Delray Beach GAE 52
6. a) Economic Analysis/M-rket Study
It ts, of course, recognized that there Is presently an over-
supply of retail space in Palm Beach County generally and the
greater Defray Beach area specifically. However, there Is
evidence in several locations throughout South Florida that
consumers are again being attracted by the more interesting
environments of downtown/urban neighborhood plans rather
than more sterile suburban shopping centers. Examples of this
trend are Coconut Grove and Mlzner Center in Boca Raton.
Vitality of retail areas -- particularly those in older downtown
areas -- has proven dependent on two primary factors which are
as follows:
- The existence of a sufficient amount of quality retailing,
i.e., a critical mass, to attract potential customers; and
- Prox/mity of a residential consumer base that can provide
activity into the evening hours.
The proposed plan for the GAE recognizes these realities with
its emphasis on both ret_aJ~! and multi-family residential
development. Further, the high occupancy rates of multi-family
residential units in such locations as Coconut Grove, South
Beach (Miami Beach), and Mlzner Park indicates that a segment
of the market at a wide range of prices is attracted to
residential environments that combine housing and commercial
uses in a "village-like' ambiance.
The other main thrust of the proposed GAE '~rlllage Center
Scenario" is its increased amount of industrial space in the
Pineapple Grove area, perhaps with a thematic focus toward
arts, crafts, design professions and specialty construction
services. The future success of this particular initiative is hard
to assess, likely being dependent on good marketing and the
early capture of a few key tenants to set the tone. There is
evidence in South Florida that initiatives of this type can work.
Illustrative examples are the Design District north of Downtown
Miami and the "Bird Village" area in Coral Gables. While
success for this concept is not easily predictable,, the concept is
worthy of support for the following reasons:
Defray Beach GAE 53
6. a) Economic Analysis/Market Study
The revit~al~?-atton of the core of the GAg as a
retail/residential area requires stabilization of its fringe
areas such as Pineapple Grove; and
Successful industrial redevelopment of Pineapple Grove
could provide enhanced economic opportunities for the
economic_ally disadvantaged areas Immediately west of the
GAg through Job creation on the order of 78 new
positions.
Without the GAg. the Initiatives and positive Impacts discussed
above would essentially be unreal~?ed since the current T.P.S.O
would limit growth in the area. It should also be noted that
the proposed GAE plan Is consistent with the .intent of much of
the State's growth management objectives which seek better
utilization of our existing resources and infrastructure.
6.b) Describe the Impact of the proposed GAE on development
and redevelopment efforts both inside and outside the
proposed GAE.
The Impact of the proposed GAg on new development efforts
inside the GAE is expected to be minimal given the limited
( amounts of vacant land contained within the designated area.
Outside the GAE, the impact on new development efforts will
vary but is not expected to be adverse in any regard. More
specifically, the proposed GAg should have positive Impact on
the Atlantic Avenue corridor between the GAE and Interstate 95
since the enhanced economic activity within the GAg will
heighten both traffic and interest in this area. Potential positive
effects would be augmented commercial activity along the
corridor as well as inflll and redeveloped housing adjacent to
the corridor resulting, in part, from better utflt:,ation of the
area's currently underemployed work force.
Other potentially affected areas would be along Federal Highway
both north and south of the GAE and the Linton Boulevard
corridor. However, the market orientation of these areas is
distinctly different than that of the GAg. Hence, development
efforts in these areas should not be impacted by the GAg.

change: ADDITION
The City has defined a "Village Center"
development scenario (see Futgre Land Use
Element for a description of t~ls geographic
area) for a portion of the D~wntown. This
area is also desiqnated as ao~Transportation
Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The
TCMA concept is used in con~unction with the
downtown "Village Center" development
scenario to encourage growth into
development patterns that support
alternatives to single-occupant automobile
transportation. It is recognized that
achievement of the proposed development
intensities~ densities and mixed use
patterns which are conducive to reducing
dependence on single-occupant automobile
travel requires a lonq-term strategy based
on directinq development into more intensive
patterns coupled with an early and continued
commitment to public transit and an
accommodation and management of traffic
conqestion. The City therefore finds that
the creation of a TCMA enhances the
long-term development and mobility goals of
the City~ specifically the downtown "Village
Center" development scenario~ and that these
goals are balancedt realistic and
achievable.

5. Location: P. III-C-12, Analysis, New item
Change: ADDITION
The downtown "Village Center" development
scenario (see Figure L-8 in the Future Land
Use Element) is generally bounded by West
1st Avenue~ N.E. 4th Street~ Federal Highway
(U.S. 1) and Intracoastal Waterway~ and S.E.
2nd Street. The development patterns
planned for this area are shown in Table
L-2a of the Future Land Use Element. The
land uses shown in Table L-2a represent an
increase in densities within this defined
geographic area. Creation of the future
land use densities will further the goals of
this Plan through the long-term
implementation of development and mobility
needs in a balanced~ realistic and
achievable manner. This specifically
includes that for developments within the
TCMAt 27% of all traffic will remain within
the TCMA area. Also~ the existing grid
system of streets in the downtown and
surrounding area allows external traffic to
distribute using many alternate routes.
This distribution results in traffic seeking
and using alternate routes when routes
become congested. Finally, the increased
land use intensities and activities in the
"Village Center" may result in opportunities
relating to Transportation Demand Management
strategies for reducing peak hour traffic.
One purpose of defining this specific area
development pattern is to gain access to the
flexibility relating to designation of this
area as a TCMA. The purpose of a TCMA is to
encourage land use planning within a compact
geographic area which enhances mobility
goals with a balanced development scenario.
This development pattern is to result in
alternatives to the use of a single-occupant
automobile trip for mobility needs.
The City and the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRAI are committed to development of'
the downtown area, more specifical~y that
area defined in Figure L-8 of the Future
Land Use Element~ which further the goals of
the City relative to achieving a balanced~
realistic and achievable development/
mobility mix. The development likely to
occur within the next 36 months within this
downtown "Villaqe Center" area (identified
as interim land use totals in Figure L-2a of
the Future Land Use Element) may result in a
temporary inability to meet adopted road
concurrency standards. The City and CRA
identify this as a possibility butt feel
that redevelopment goals including increases
in downtown activities~ employmentt and
downtown revitalization while directinq
development toward downtown and away from
the suburban sprawl areas~ outweigh said
road concurrency standards. The ultimate
land use mix for this geographic area will
result in a balance between mobility and
development~ however~ near term imbalances
may occur. The City is designatinq this
downtown area as an interim TCMA to allow
this interim development to occur.

VIII. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
1. Location: P. III-G-3, New Section and Paragraph
Change: Addition
OTHER ITEMS:
The following information is in addition to the
requirements of 9J-5-006(1). More detailed
information can be found in the document "Delray
Beach Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception
from the Countywide Traffic Performance
Standards"~ October~ 1991.
As a first step in pursing an ob~ective of having
a Downtown Development Proqram~ the City of
Delray Beach has created a "Village Center"
development scenario which addresses all the land
located in the CBD and OSSHAD Zoning DlstrictsL
lying west of the Intracoastal Waterway. This
scenario promotes continued development anu
redevelopment in the downtown area through an
enhanced balance of employment, housing, economic
development and traffic.
The downtown "Village Center" development
scenario currently consists of approximately 23~
acres of land.-The aggregated .ma~or land uses
include:
Commercial 24% Railroad R-O-W 3%
Single Family Residential 11~ Office 15%
Multi-Family Residential 7% Warehouse 4%
Vacant 6% Industrial 3%
Hotel 1% Other 3%
Road R-O-W 20%.
The downtown "Village Center Development
Scenario" map (Figure L-S) illustrates proposed
general land uses for this area. Table L-2a
shows a comparison of the amount of current and
proposed land uses.
TABLE L-2a Village Center Development Scenario Land Uses,
Current and Proposed
USES CURRENT INTERIM PROPOSED

Other (scI. ft.) 117,533 161,945 , 161,,..945
31
The followinq is a brief summary of the
highlights of this development scenario:
1- Full infill development: The 15 remaininq
acres of vacant land~ will be fully
developed over the next 20 year period.
2- Moderate increase in total non-residential
development: Redevelopment and adaptive
reuse of existinq non-residential structures
and new construction would result in a
maximum 317~470 sq.ft. (17%) increase in
buildinq floor area. One such development
could be the Pineapple Grove Business Park
(see item #4 below).
3- Residential development: An increase in
resident development~ from 264 to 957 units~
is planned based upon an increase in gross
densities from a maximum of 12 du/acre to 30
du/acre. These additional units could be
accommodated via one of three development
alternatives~ free standinq multi-family
development~ apartments above stores~ or
mixed use new development.
4- EmDloyment base increases The development
scenario calls for a commitment to
re-establish the downtown area as a ma~or
emDlo~anent center. This concept will be
accomplished~ in part~ through an increase
in industrial and warehouse development.
The proposed employment base areas are
located immediately adjacent to the Railroad
tracks. The ma~or focus of this effort will
be the creation of the "Pineapple Grov~
Business Park"~ on the eastern portion of
the Pineapple Grove area. The Park will
encouraqe development of artst crafts~
design professions and speciality
construction services and other such
servicest with low cost sitest availabl-
infrastructure~ and "business park"
atmosphere as incentives.
5- Traffic levels: The development scenario is
DroJected to generate a peak of 13~597 total
daily triDs, and 8,581 total external daily
trips. See the Traffic Element inventory
and analysis section for additiona!
information reqardinq traffic.

the "Village Center" development scenario.
Realization of these opportunities will
result in an enhanced balance of employment~
housing, economic development and traffic
needs. To facilitate the accomplishment of
the "Village Center" development scenario~
the CBD Zoning District should be amended to
accommodate the increased residential
density.

Change: ADDITION
· The City has defined a "Village Center"
- development scenario (see FutUre Land Use
Element for a description of this geographic
area) for a portion of the D~wntown. This
area is also designated as aoTransportation
Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The
TCMA concept is used in conjunction with the
downtown "Village Center" development
scenario to encourage growth into
development patterns that support
alternatives to single-occupant automobile
transportation. It is recognized that
achievement of the proposed development
intensities, densities and mixed use
patterns which are conducive to reducing
dependence on single-occupant automobile
travel requires a long-term strategy based
on directing dev.elopment into more intensive
patterns coupled with an early and continued
commitment to public transit and an
accommodation and management of traffic
congestion. The City therefore finds that
the creation of a TCMA enhances the
long-term development and mobility goals of
the City, specifically the downtown "Village
Center" development scenario, and that these
goals are balanced, realistic and
achievable.

5. Location: P. III-C-12, Analysis, New item
Change: ADDITION
The downtown "Village Center" development
scenario (see. Figure L-8 in the Future Land
Use Element) is generally bounded by West
1st Avenuet N.E. 4th Street~ Federal Highway
(U.S. 1) and Intracoastal Waterwayt and S.E.
2nd Street. The development patterns
planned for this area are shown in Table
L-2a of the Future Land Use Element. The
land uses shown in Table L-2a represent an
increase in densities within this defined
geograDhic area. Creation of the future
land use densities will further the goals of
this Plan through the long-term
implementation of development and mobility
needs in a balanced~ realistic and
achievable manner. This specifically
includes that for developments within the
TCMA~ 27% of all traffic will remain within
the TCMA area. Also~ the existing grid
system of streets in the downtown and
surroundinq area allows external traffic to
distribute using many alternate routes.
This distribution results in traffic seeking
and using alternate routes when routes
become congested. Finally~ the increased
land use intensities and activities in the
"Village Center" may result in opportunities
relating to Transportation Demand Management
strategies for reducing Deak hour traffic.
One purpose of defining this specific area
development pattern is to gain access to the
flexibility relating to designation of this
area as a TCMA. The purpose of a TCMA is to
encourage land use planning within a compact
geographic area which enhances mobility
goals with a balanced development scenario.
This development pattern is to result in
alternatives to the use of a single-occupant
automobile trip for mobility needs.
The City and the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) are committed to development of
the downtown area~ more specifically that
area defined in Figure L-8 of the Future
Land Use Element~ which further the goals of
the City relative to achieving a balanced~
realistic and achievable development/
mobility mix. The development likely to
occur within the next 36 months within this
downtown "Village Center" area (identified
as interim land use totals in Figure L-Ra of
the Future Land Use Element) may result in a
temporary inability to meet adopted road
concurrency standards. The City and CRA
identify this as a possibility but~ feel
that redevelopment goals including increases
in downtown .activities, 9mployment, and
downtown revitalization while directing
development toward downtown and away from
the suburban sprawl areas~ outweigh said
road concurrency standards. The ultimate
land use mix for this geographic area will
result in a balance between mobility and
development, however, near term. imbalances
may occur. The City is designating this
downtown area as an interim TCMA to allow
this interim development to occur.
6. Location: P. III-C-14, Definitions
Change: ADDITION
The following information is proposed to be
placed in the Traffic Element. A section is to
be created titled 'DEFINITIONS' and is to include
the following initial set of definitions.
DEFINITIONS: This section of the Traffic Element
contains definitions of traffic terms relating to
the contents of this element. It is not a Rule
9J-5, F.A.C. requirement~ but is included in the
plan for the purpose of clarifying technical
traffic terminology appearing in this Element and
elsewhere in this Plan.
TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREA (TCMA)
- a geographically compact area designated in a
local comprehensive plan where intensive
development exists or is planned in a manner that
will ensure an adequate level of mobility and
further the achievement of identified important
state planning goals and policies, including
discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl,
encouraging the revitalization of existinq
downtowns or designated redevelopment areas,
protecting natural resources, maximizing the
efficient use of existing public facilities, and
promoting public transit~ bicycling~ walking and
other alternatives to the single occupant
automobile.
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) -
strategies and techniques that can be used to
increase the efficiency of the transportation
system. Transportation demand management focuses
on ways of influencing the amount of and demand
for transportation by encouraging alternatives to
the single occupant automobile and by altering
local peak hour travel demand. These strateqies
and techniques may, among others, include: ride
sharing programs, flexible work hours,
telecommuting~ shuttle services, and parking
management.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (TSM) -
improving roads~ intersections, and other related
facilities to make the existing transportation
system operate more efficiently. Transportation
systems management techniques include demand
management strategies, incident management
strateqies~ and other actions that increase the
operatinq efficiency of the existing system.
TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY ELEMENT (TME) - an
integrated~ multi-modal comprehensive plan
element addressing transportation~ land use, and
capital improvements planninq that meets the
requirements of rule 9J-5.0057~ F.A.C. The
transportation mobility element may identify one
or more transportation concurrency management
areas.

Change: Addition
OTHER ITEMS:
The following information is in addition to the
requirements of 9J-5-006(1). More detailed
information can be found in the document "Delray
Beach Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception
from the Countywide Traffic Performance
Standards"~ October~ 1991.
As a first step in pursing an objective of having
a Downtown Development Program~ the City of
Delray Beach has created a "Villaqe Center"
development scenario which addresses all the land
located in the CBD and OSSHAD Zoninq Districtsr
lying west of the Intracoastal Waterway. This
scenario promotes continued development and
redevelopment in the downtown area through an
enhanced balance of employment, housing~ economic
development and traffic.
The downtown "Village Center" development
scenario currently consists of approximately 23D
acres of land. The aggregated major land use~
include:
Commercial 24% Railroad R-O-W 3%
Single Family Residential 11% Office 15%
Multi-Family Residential 7% Warehouse 4%
Vacant 6-~ Industrial 3%
Hotel 1--% Other 3~
Road R-O-W 20%
The downtown "Village Center Development
Scenario" map (Fiqure L-8) illustrates proposea
general land uses for this area. Table L-2a
shows a comparison of the amount of current ana
proposed land uses.

The following is a brief summary of the
highlights of this development scenario:
I_L- Full lnfill development: The 15 remaining
acres of vacant land, will be fully
developed over the next 20 year Deriod.
2- Moderate increase in total non-residential
developments Redevelopment and adaptive
reuse of.existing non-residential structures
and new construction would result in a
maximum 317,470 sq.ft. (17%) increase in
building floor area. One such development
could be the Pineapple Grove Business Park
(see item #4 below).
3- Residential development: An increase in
resident development, from 264 to 957 units,
is planned based upon an increase in gross
densities from a maximum of 12 du/acre to 30
du/acre. These additional units could be
accommodated via one of three development
alternatives~ free standing multi-family
development, aDartments above stores, or
mixed use new development.
4- Employment base lncrease~ The development
scenario calls for a commitment to
re-establish the downtown area as a major
employment center. This concept will be
accomplishe~ in part~ through an increase
in industrial and warehouse development.
The proposed employment base areas are
located immediately adjacent to the Railroad
tracks. The major focus of this effort will
be the creation of the "Pineapple Grove
Business Park"., on the eastern portion of
the Pineapple Grove area. The Park will
encouraqe development of arts, crafts,
design professions and speciality
construction services and other such
services~ with low cost sites~ available
infrastructure, and "business park"
atmosphere as incentives.
5- Traffic levels~ The development scenario is
projected to generate a peak of 13,597 total
da%ly trips, and 8,581 total external daily
trips. See the Tra. ffic Element inventory
and analysis section for additional
information regardinq traffic.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: ~ITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # I~ - MEETING OF NOVEMBER 24. 1992
ORDINANCE NO. 63-92
DATE: November 20, 1992
This is first reading and public hearing of an ordinance adopting
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 92-2 pursuant to the provisions of the
"Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development
Regulations Act", Florida Statutes Sections 163.3161 through 163.3243,
inclusive.
Significant features of Amendment 92-2 include:
-The Central Business District - Geographic Area of Exception
(CBD-GAE) "Village Center" scenario.
-Changes to the Traffic Network Map to update Level of Service
standards, update roadway jurisdiction, and street name changes.
-A Future Land Use Map amendment introducing industrial land to
the area around the Series 20 wellfield.
-Inclusion of railway entities and facilities in the inventory of
facilities.
-Inclusion of data and policies pertaining to the City Marina and
Marina Enterprise Fund.
-Funding source for repair and replacement of equipment.
-Altering a policy in the Housing Element which referred to
Blood's Grove.
The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) , Objections,
Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report was received on October
8th. There were two objections and they centered upon the use of the
Geographic Area of Exception approach to seeking a reduced level of
service for the downtown redevelopment efforts. While both DCA and
Florida Department of Transportation do no object to the merits and
direction of downtown redevelopment efforts, they do have a problem
with the City's methodology.
To accommodate the objections raised by DCA, staff has proposed
modifications to Amendment 92-2. Those items are addressed in the
staff report attached as backup material for this item. The other
items contained in Amendment 92-2 were approved as submitted.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 63-92 on first reading.

FROM: DAVID J. KOVACS, DIRECTOR
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING
SUBJECT: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 24, 1992
ADOPTION OF PLAN AMENDMENT 92-2
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the City Commission is that of
approval on first reading, of an Ordinance enacting
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 92-2.
This item has been scheduled as a public hearing with
notice via a 1/2 page advertisement in the newspaper. This
advertisement complies with statutory requirements which
are unique to adoption of Plan Amendments.
BACKGROUND:
This is the second Plan Amendment for the calendar year 1992.
This Plan Amendment 92-2 was transmitted to the State Department
of Community Affairs (DCA) following a public hearing held by
the Commission on June 23, 1992. DCA conducted its review and
communicated its findings via its Objections, Recommendations,
and Comments (ORC) Report.
For your information, a copy of the Transmittal City Commission
Documentation is attached. It briefly identifies the items
which are included in the proposed Amendment. The complete text
of Plan Amendment 92-2 will be provided as an attachment at
second reading.
ORC R E P O R T R E S P 0 N S E
The only objections dealt with the method of handling our desire
for relief from traffic level of service standards which would
adversely affect our downtown revitalization efforts. Similar
objections were raised by DCA and FDOT with respect to the Palm
Beach County Plan Amendment. After meeting with DCA, FDOT, and
the County our proposed amendment has been modified to seek an
Interim Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA) as
opposed to a Geographic Area of Exception (GAE). The proposed
modifications are identified in the Response to the ORC Report,
a copy of which is attached to this documentation.
City Commission Documentation

There are two items of significance contained within the
proposed revisions. One is a commitment to prepare and
adopt a Transportation Mobility Element (TME). The other
involves provisions for rescinding any development order which
is issued in reliance for a permanent TCMA designation in the
event we fail to adopte~ a TME.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION:
The Planning and Zoning Board formally reviewed this item at its
meeting of November 16th. They have endorsed the ORC Report and
have made a recommendation that the suggested changes to the
Amendment be adopted.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: NOVEMBER 16, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: V.A. Review of the ORC Report and Recommendations
Regarding Plan Amendment 92-2.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD:
The item before the Board is that of review to our Response
to the ORC Report for Plan Amendment 92-2. Associated with
this review are proposed modifications to Plan Amendment
92-2, as previously submitted.
The action to be taken is in the form of a recommendation
to the City Commission regarding the above.
BACKGROUND:
The only point of objection to proposed Plan Amendment 92-2
deals with substitution of an Interim Transportation Concurrency
Management Area approach instead of the Geographic Area of
Exception approa=h to our quest for relief from standard level
of service requirements for our downtown area.

PLAN AMENDMENT 92-2
RESPONSE TO OBJECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE ORC REPORT
General: The Department of Community Affairs, Objections,
Recommendations, and Comments Report, (ORC) pertaining to the
City of Delray Beach Plan Amendment 92-2 was received on October
8, 1992. There were two objections and they centered upon the
use of the Geographic Area of Exception (GAE) approach to
seeking a reduced Level of Service (LOS) for our downtown
redevelopment efforts. While both DCA and Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) do not object to the merits and direction
of downtown redevelopment efforts, they do have a problem with
our methodology.
During preparation of the GAE, through the Palm Beach County
process, DCA and FDOT prepared and adopted Administrative Rule
9J5.0057, Transportation Management Concurrency Areas (TCMA).
Both agencies recommend that our proposed Plan Amendment 92-2 be
modified to comply with that rule. With respect to data and
analysis, the material submitted with our GAE is adequate and
meets all of the 9J5.0057 requirements, except for policies
which commit the City to pursue a Transportation Mobility
Element (TME).
ORC Ob~ections:
OBJECTION "A"
The proposed revised Traffic Circulation Element includes
specific level of service standards (LOS) for Geographic Areas
of Exception (GAE's). However, the revisions are not adequate
for the following reasons (see also the attached objections from
the Florida Department of Transportation for the City of Delray
Beach and for Palm Beach County) Rules 9J-5.00§$(2)(a);
9J-5.0055; 9J-5.0057; 9J-5.007(2); (3)(b); and 3(c)1. and (4);
9J-11.006(1)(b)4., and 9J-11.006(3), F.A.C.~
a) The LOS standards for GAE's are not compatible to the
maximum extent feasible with the FDOT LOS standards for
roads and has not been coordinated with FDOT.
b) The proposed GAE would add traffic to two =oadways (Swinton
Ave. and A-l-A) up to 10%. This will allow a permanent
deviation from adopted LOS standards and will permit roads
to become significantly more congested. The GAE
methodology will also result in potential degradation of
levels of service on the State Highway System.
c) The proposed plan amendment does not £nclude adequate and
appropriate data and analysis to support or Justify these
LOS standards.
d) The proposed amendment doe8 not include adequate data and
analysis to Justify the increase in residential densities
and commercial intensities in the CBD or "Village Center".
In addition, the amendment does not include a description
of the availability of and for the increased demand in
sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water,
traffic circulation and recreation.
Staff Response: To accommodate the objections raised by DCA,
the following changes are proposed to Plan Amendment 92-2:
1. Page 3, Item 2, Traffic Element, III-C-9 Inventor~
DELETE previously proposed text and insert "Inventory" text
from Exhibit "A".
2. Page 3, Item 2, Traffic Element, III-C-9 Analysis

from Exhibit "A".
3. ADD a new Traffic Element Map T-§, Interim T.C.M.A. This
map shall show the boundaries of the TMCA with respect'to
the street system and shall specifically identify "gateway"
streets.
4. Page 24, Change "~AE" to "Village Center"; and DELETE f~
5. Pages 25 & 27, DELETE the material under Item 2 on Page 27
as it is duplicative of Item 2 on page 25.
6. Page 32, ADD a "diamond" with the following text:
"streets within the Interim TCMA shall be allowed to
function at LOS 'D' pursuant to the provisions of Traffic
Element Policy E-1.6."
7. Page 33, DELETE previously proposed NEW OBJECTIVE (B-4) and
POLICIES (B-4.1 & B-4.2) and REPLACE with GOAL AREA "E" and
its supporting Objectives and Policies as contained in
Exhibit "A".
- 2 -
The intent of the proposed modifications, and resulting Plan
Amendment, is to establish an Interim TCMA and allow the City to
progress on its downtown redevelopment effort while making a
commitment to create a TME. The TME will look at all
transportation related issues in a more unified manner including
coordination with the TME which is to be prepared for all of
Palm Beach County. The City TME will be prepared quicker than
the County TME due to it being a more manageable project. Also,
the Delray Beach TME will be a prototype for TMEs which will be
needed by West Palm Beach, Rlveria Beach, and others who sought
GAEs and will seek Interim TCMA designations. The TME must be
completed within 36 months and adopted (we intend to have an
adopted TME within 18 months). If the City were to fail to
adopt a TME, the Interim TCMA designation would become VOID and
any development relying upon it would be subject to being
rescinded.
OBJECTION B.
STATE AND REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed amendments (Support Documents i and 2) do not
adequately address and further the following State Comprehensive
Plan goals and their implementing policies~ Goal 16 (Land Use),
Goal 18 (Public Facilities), Goal 20 (Transportation, and Goal
26 (Plan Implementation).
Staff Response: Exhibit "A" has been prepared to be consistent
with 9J5.0057 and, thus, the modified Plan Amendment 92-2 is in
compliance with the above cited State Comprehensive Plan goals
and their implementing policies.

EXHIBIT "A"
Changes to Plan Amendment 92-2 in Response ko ORC
{Adding Provisions for the Creation of a TCMA}
ADD TO THE INVENTORY SECTION OF THE TRAFFIC ELEMENTs
The Traffic Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan contains an
inventory of items relating to the City's transportation systems. A
new section to be added to the Traffic Element inventory section is
found below. It replaces the language originally contained in
Comprehensive Plan amendment 92-2 (Locationt Page III, C-9). This
new inventory information pertains to the intensification of the
Downtown activities by way of the "Village Center" development
scenario.
The City has defined a "Village Center" development scenario (see
Future Land Use Element for a description of this qeoqraphic area)
for a portion of the Downtown. This area is also designated as a
Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The TCMA concept
is used in conjunction with the downtown "Village Center"
development scenario to encouraqe qrowth into development patterns
that support alternatives to single-occupant automobile
transportation. It is recoqnized that achievement of the proposed
developmenc intensities~ densities and mixed use patterns which are,
conducive to reducing dependence on single-occupant automobile
travel required a long-term strategy based on directing development
into more intensive patterns coupled with an early and continued
commitment to public transit and an accommodation and management of
traffic congestion. The City therefore finds that the creation of a
TCMA enhances the lonq-term development and mobility qoals of the
City, specifically the downtown "Villaqe Center" development
scenario~ and that these goals are balanced~ realistic and
achievable.
Just$f$cationt Rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C., defines the Sntent of a
Transportation Concurrency Management Area. This statement within
the City's Comprehensive Plan re-iterates the TCMA intent and is
consistent with said rule.
DRAFT Page I DRAFT
ADD TO THE ANALYSIS SECTION OF THE TRAFFIC ELEMENTs
Modification #1:
The Traffic Element contains an analysis section pursuant to the
requirements of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., DCA Rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C.
Within the analysis section there needs 'to be created a framework
for the institution of a TCMA. Part of that required framework
includes the stating that there is a need for the establishment of a
The following section serves to accommodate the above by replacing
the language originally contained in Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
92-2 (Location: Page III, C-12).
The downtown "Villaqe Center" development scenario (see Figure L-8
in the Future Land Use Element) is generally bounded by West 1st
Avenue~ N.E. 4th Streett Federal Highway (U.S. 1) and Intracoastal
Waterway~ and S.E. 2nd Street. The development patterns planned for
this area are shown in Table L-2a of the Future Land Use Element.
The land uses shown in Table L-2a represent an increase in densities
within this defined geographic area. Creation of the future land
use densities will further the goals of this Plan through the
long-term implementation of development and mobility needs in a
balanced~ realistic and achievable manner. This specifically
includes that for developments within the TCMAt 27% of all traffic
will remain within the TCMA area. Also~ the existing grid system of
streets in the downtown and surrounding area allows external traffic
to distribute using many alternate routes. This distribution
results in traffic seeking and using alternate routes when routes
become conqested. Finally~ the increased land use intensities and
activities in the "Villaqe Center" may result in opportunities
relating to Transportation Demand Management strategies for reducing
peak hour traffic.
One purpose of defininq this specific area development pattern is to
gain access to the flexibility relating to designation of this area
as a TCMA. The purpose of a TCMA is to encourage land use planning
within a compact geographic area which enhances mobility goals with
a balanced development scenario. This development pattern is to
result in alternatives to the use of a sinqle-occupant automobile
trip for mobility needs.
The City and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) are committed
'to development of the downtown area~ more specifically that area
defined in Flqure L-8 of the Future Land Use Element~ which further
the goals of the City relative to achieving a balancedt realistic
and achievable development/mobility mix. The development likely to
occur within the next 36 months within this downtown "Village Center
area (identified as interim land use totals in Figure L-2a of the
Future Land Use Element) may result in a temporary inability to meet
adopted road concurrency standards. The City and CRA identify this
as a possibility but~ feel that redevelopment goals including
DRAFT Page 2 DRAFT
increases in downtown activitiest employmentt and downtown
revitalization while directing development toward downtown and away
from the suburban sprawl areas~ out weiqh said road concurrency
standards. The ultimate land use mix for this geographic area will
result in a balance between mobility and development~ however~ near
term imbalances may occur. The City is desiqnatinq this downtown
area as an interim TCMA to allow this interim development to occur.
Justification~ Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C., defines the requirements
which are needed for the designation of an interim TCMA for a
specific geographic area. These include a stated need relative to
other plan goals relating to development activities which, on a
temporary basis, may result in a degradation of roadway
levels-of-service. This proposed section is consistent with the
requirements of the said rule.
Modification #2
The following table is to be added to the analysis section. It
contains interim LOS standards for gateway roads relating to the
Downtown TCMA. (note: The entire table, including footnotes are to
be considered as underlined, but have not been shown as underlined
for clarity.)

Justifications Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1, F.A.C., requires that
alternative roadway LOS standards for the peak hours be identified
and the source for such levels be stated. This Table along with
proposed Policy E-1.6 are consistent with and implements said rule.

CREATE A NEW DEFINITIONS SECTION IN THE TRAFFIC ELEMENTt
The following information is proposed to be placed in the Traffic
Element. A section is to be created titled 'DEFINITIONS* and is to
include the following initial set of definitions.
DEFINITIONS~ This section of the Traffic Element contains
definitions of traffic terms relating to the contents of this
element. It is not a Rule 9J-5~ F.A.C. requirement~ but is included
in the plan for the purpose of clarifying technical traffic
terminolo~ aDpearing in this Element and elsewhere in this Plan.
TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREA (TCMA) - a.geograDhicall¥
compact area designated in a local comprehensive plan where
intensive development exists or is planned in a manner that will
ensure an adequate level of mobility and further the achievement of
identified important state planning goals and policies~ including
discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl~ encouraging the
revitalization of existing downtowns or designated redevelopment
areas, Drotectinq natural resources~ maximizing the efficient use of
existing public facilities~ and promoting public transit~ b!cyclinq,
walking and other alternatives to the single occupant automobile.
Justification~ The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation concurrency management area. The
proposed definition is consistent with and identical to the
definition of the term identified in rule 9J-5.003(99), F.A.C.
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) - strategies and techniques
that can be used to increase the efficiency of the transportation
system. Transportation demand management focuses on ways of
influencing the amount of and demand for transportation by
encouraging alternatives to the single occupant automobile and by
altering local peak hour travel demand. These strategies and
techniques may, among others~ include: ride sharing programs,
flexible work hours~ telecommutinq, shuttle services~ and parking
management.
Justif£cation~ The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation demand management. The proposed
definition is consistent with and identical to the definition of the
term identified in Rule 9J-5.003(100), F.A.C.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (TSM) - improving roadst
lntersections~ and other related facilities to make the existing
transportation system operate more efficiently. Transportation
systems management techniques include demand management strategies,
incident management strategiest and other actions that increase the
operating efficiency of the existing system.
Justification: The City's Comprehensive Plan does not presently
define the term transportation system management. The Proposed
definition is consistent with and identical to the definition of the
term identified in Rule 9J-5.003(102), F.A.C.

CREATION OF A NEW~OALAREA E IN THE TRAFFIC ELEMENTI
{The establishment of a TCMA and the pursuit of a TME}
The Traffic Element contains goals, objectives and policies which
are proposed to be amended to include necessary TCMA language
meeting the requirements of Rule 9J-5.0057 F.A.C. These items are
proposed to be placed in a new goal area as defined below.
The proposed goal provides for the City to immediately designate
interim TCMA(s) until such time as a transportation mobility element
is adopted, as is permitted in rule 9J-5.0057(?), F.A.C. For the
past two years the City has worked with Palm Beach County to
designate a compact downtown geographic area as a Geographic Areas
of Exception (GAE), pursuant to policy 4-c of the County Traffic
Circulation Element. The Department of Community Affairs has
concluded that the GAE process was insufficient to satisfy state
requirements and has recommended that the City and County designate
interim TCMA(s) as is provided for in rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C. This
rule contains the minimum criteria for creation of transportation
concurrency management areas. Pursuant to that rule, the City is
adopting a goal consistent with such requirements.
GOAL AREA "E"
It is a GOAL of the City to provide for the lmm~_ediate designation of
an interim transportation concurrency management area (TCMA) unti!
such time as a transportation mobility element (TME) is adopted by n
ComDrehensive Plan Amendment. The purpose of the TME shall be to
Dlan for a multi-modalt multi-optional transportation syste~ which
places less emphasis on accommodating 'the single-occupancy vehicle.
and which encourages the development of compactt non-automobil~.
oriented urban areast promotes energy efficient development.
Datterns~ protects air quality, and provides for the more efficien~
mobility of residents~ visitors~ and goods.
Justification: A goal is defined in Rule 9J-5.003(36), F.A.C. as
the long-term end toward which programs and activities are
ultimately directed. Rule 9J-5.005?(7)(b), F.A.C. provides that the
designation of interim TCMAs must be supported by goals, objectives,
and policies that address the provision of rule 9J-5.0057(5), F.A.C.
That rule provides that a goal statement must be provided which
establishes the long-term end toward which transportation mobility
programs and activities are ultimately directed.
DRAFT Page 6 DRAFT
OBJECTIVE E-1 DESIGNATION OF INTERIM TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY
MANAGEMENT AREA
In order to access the flexibility allowed in establishing levels of
service standards while preparing a Transportation Mobility Element
(TME) addressing the entire Jurisdiction~ the City Commission hereby
designates the area described in the "Villaqe Center" development
scenario~ Figure L-8 in the Future Land Use Eiement~ as an interim
Transportation Concurrency Manaqement Area (TCMA). This interim
TCMA designation shall be effective for a maximum period not to
exceed thirty-six months from December 8~ 1992 during which time a
TME shall be prepared and adopted.
Justifications Rule 9J-5.003(61), F.A.C. defines an objective as a
specific, measurable, intermediate end that is achievable and makes
progress toward a goal. Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., provides that
interim TCMAs are temporary and valid for no longer than 36 months
after the adoption of the amendment establishing the interim
TCMAs. Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C., provides that the designation of
interim TCMAs are contingent upon an adopted policy providing for
the timely submittal and adoption of a transportation mobility
element. The proposed amendment goes beyond the rule requirements
because the designation is being adopted by an objective rather than
as a policy.
The intent of Objective E-1 is to enable the City to work toward
fulfilling the development objectives of the "Village Center"
scenario while a TME is being developed.
Finally, the objective contains a measurable period (36 months) by
which the objective must be accomplished. This 36 month period is
consistent with Rule 9J-5.0057(7), F.A.C.
Policy E-1.1~ The interim TCMA designated within Delra¥ Beach shall
automatically become null and void if the Delray Beach City
Commission does not adopt a TME as a comprehensive plan amendment
within the time frame prescribed by Ob~ective E-1.
Justif~cation~ Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
adopt such a policy if interim TCMAs are designated in the
Comprehensive Plan. This policy implements and is consistent with
said rule.
Policy E-1.2~ The levels of service standards established for the
interim TCMA shall be valid for no lonqer that the time frame
prescribed by Objective E-1. Should the City fail to adopt a TME
within the time frame prescribed by Objective E-1t the levels of
service standards established for the interim TCMAs shall
automatically be rescinded and the level of service standard in
place before the desiqnation of the interim TCMAs shall be
reinstated.
Justification~ Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
DRAFT Page ? DRAFT
adopt such a policy if interim TCMAs are established. This policy
implements and is consistent with said rule.
Policy E-1.3~ The City Commission shall have the authority to
impose specific limits on the amount of development permitted within
the interim TCMA and such limits shall be valid for no longer than
the time period prescribed by Objective E-1. Said limits of
development shall be as defined in Table L-2a of the Future Land Use
Element.
Justtf~cation~ Rule 9J-5.005?(7)(a), F.A.C., requires the City to
adopt a policy imposing specific limits on development if interim
TCMAs are established. This policy implements and is consistent
with said rule.
Policy E-1.4~ The Planninq Department shall prepare monitoring
status reports on a six month basis. Said reports will reflect
changes in the amount of proposed, approvedt built and total
existinq conditions relative to land use density and Intensity in
the TCMA.
Justifications Rule 9J-5.005?(7)(b), F.A.C., provides that
compliance with the data and analysis requirements may be deferred
until the submittal of the transportation mobility element. The
status reports are intended to be reports which Indicate what
progress is being made toward providing the data and analysis
required by the above described rule and in order to provide the
data and analysis necessary to adopt a TME. The proposed policy
goes beyond the rule by requiring monitoring reports. These
monitoring reports are Intended to address whether compliance has
occurred with respect to the conditions of approval and the limits
on development.
Policy E-1.5~ The Traffic Impacts for projects within the Downtown
interim TCMA shall be measured aqainst the level of service "D"
standard for average annual daily traffic and peak hour conditions
as established in Objective B-1 of this elementt except for those
roads Identified in Table 6. The level of service standard are
defined for those roads contained in Table 6.
Justlficatton~ Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1., F.A.C., requires that a
policy be provided establishing levels of service standards at peak
hour for roads. The proposed policy provides that the interim TCMA
shall have the same level of service standard as the adopted level
of service standard, except for specifically delineated roadways.
The specific roadways that may exceed the level of service standard
established for other City roads are identified in Table T-6. That
table sets an alternate maximum level of service standard consistent
with State or County methodologies. The policy ts intended to be
read together with policy E-1.2, which provides for the automatic
revocation of the level of service standard if the City fails to
adopt a TME.
DRAFT Page 8 DRAFT
Policy E1.6s Developments within the TCMA shall use the existinq
qrid system of streets within the TCMA and surroundinq downtown area
for traffic distribution purposes.
Just~fications This policy formalizes the concepts in the Analysis
section of this Element relating to the presence of multiple trip
routes available to traffic travelling the TCMA and Downtown area
due to an existing grid system of streets.
Policy E-1.7s For mass transit facilities located within the
Downtown interim TCMA~ the level of service standards shall be as
established in the County Comprehensive Plan.
Justifications Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(c)1., F.A.C., requires that a
policy be provided establishing levels of service standards at peak
hour for mass transit facilities. The County is the mass transit
provider for the City, and therefore its level of service policy is
used. Although the rule permits the establishment of a lower level
of service standard, the proposed policy adopts the County's
existing level of service standard for purposes of the interim TCMA.
Policy E-1.8 The specific limits on the amount and type (by land
use) of development permitted within the Downtown interimTCMA shall
be as established in the "Villaqe Center" Development scenario as
defined in Table L-2a of the Future land Use Element.
Justifications Rule 9J-5.0057(7)(b), F.A.C., requires that interim
TCMAs be accompanied by specific limits on development. The
proposed policy is consistent with the above identified rule. The
amounts of additional development were based on the data and
analysis previously provided in the GAE application. Such data and
analysis, which has been previously transmitted to the DCA, is
incorporated into this Justification by reference.
Policy E-1.9s The Traffic Enqineer of Delray Beach shall set up a
monitorinq program to track new development approvals within the
boundaries of the Downtown Interim TCMA. The sum of the new
development approvals shall be compared to the land use intensities
in Table L-2a. The Traffic Enqineer shall submit a report to the
office of the Planninq Director every six months comparing the sum
of new development approvals to the quantities in said Table.
Justifications This policy is internally consistent with and
implements policies E-1.3 and E-1.8 above and sets forth specific
responsibility for preparation and review of needed monitoring
reports.
DRAFT Page 9 DRAFT
OBJECTIVE E-2 COORDINATION OF THE DESIGNATION OF AN INTERIM
TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREAS WITHIN
DELRAY BEACH WITH OTHER ENTITIES
In order to assure intergovernmental coordinationt the City shall
coordinate the designation of the interim TCMA with other entities.
Policy E-2.1~ Pursuant to County Comprehensive Plan requirementst
prior to the time the City transmits a comprehensive plan amendment
designating one or more interim TCMAs~ the City shall petition the
Board of County Commissioners (B.C.C.) to establish interim level of
service standards for collector or arterial road links and qateway
road links that are not the responsibility of the City pursuant to
County Traffic Element Ob~ective 13.
Just~f~cation~ Objective E-2 and its implementing policies are
required to meet the County Charter conditions which identify the
County as the governmental body having Jurisdiction over the
establishment of levels of service on all non-municipality
maintained roads. This objective states that the City will abide by
the County Comprehensive Plan requirements for such level of service
designations on non-City maintained roads.
Subsection 1.3.9(4) of the Charter of Palm Beach County provides
that county ordinances shall prevail over conflicting municipal
ordinances in matters rela=ing to the establishment of levels of
service (LOS) standards for collector and arterial roads which are
not the responsibility of any municipality, and the restriction of
the issuance of development orders which would add traffic to such
roads which have traffic exceeding the adopted level of service
standard. Because of this charter provision, the City is adopting
an objective and implementing policies which provide for the
coordination of the requirement of this charter provision.
The County's Comprehensive Plan establishes a procedure by which the
City can establish an interim TCMA. This procedure allows for an
interim TCMA designation of an area consistent with the previously
reviewed GAE, following City plan amendment adoption and a DCA
finding of the amendment being in-compliance. The County procedure
is established to allow the City to proceed with this designation of
an interim TCMA. The City is then required to notify the County of
the positive DCA finding so that a matching County plan amendment
may be processed. To assure that both the County's and City's plans
are consistent with one another, the objective provides that the
County will amend its plan at the next available opportunity.
Upon a finding that the City plan amendment establishing the interim
TCMA is in compliance, the City is required to provide proof of such
to the County. Upon proof of such compliance, the City may
immediately take advantage of the municipal interim LOS standard and
need not wait for the County to adopt a comprehensive plan amendment
designating the municipal interim TCMA and municipal interim LOS
standard. To assure that the County's Comprehensive Plan is
consistent to the maximum extent possible with the municipal
DRAFT Page 10 DRAFT
comprehensive plan designating the interim TCMA and interim LOS
standard, the objective requires the County to amend its
comprehensive plan during the next available cycle so as to reflect
the municipality's action.
Policy E-2.2~ The City commission accepts the authority of the
Board of County Commissioners to impose conditions upon the aDDroval
of any interim level of service standard which impacts a road not
under City Jurisdlction~ including but not limited tot monitoring
and status reports, phasing requirements, roadway improvementst
bikeway and pedestrian system improvements~ and TDM and TSM
measures. ~
Just£fication~ Policy E-2~ls intended to implement objective E-2
and to describe the types5'f conditions that the County may impose
is setting the interim LOS standard provided for in policy E-2.2.
These conditions and policy are generally consistent with Rule
9J-5.0057 F.A.C. pertaining to the operations of a TCMA.
The monitoring reports are intended to address whether compliance
has occurred with respect to the conditions of approval and the
l~mits on development. These reports are intended to be provided on
at least an annual basis.
The status reports are intended to be reports which indicate what
progress is being made toward providing the data and analysis
required by the TCMA rule in order to provide the data and analysis
necessary to adopt a TME.
The phasing and remaining requirements are intended to serve as a
mechanism for assuring that interim LOS standards are not violated.

OBJECTIVE E-3 MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Within thirty-six (36) months after the adoption of comprehensive
plan amendment setting an interim TCMA~ the City Commission shall
adopt a Transportation Mobility Element (TME). The TME shall
provide for asafer convenient and enerqy efficient multi-modal
transportationsystem. The TME shall meet the provisions of the
applicable state statutes and administrative rules~ and requirements
of Palm Beach County.
Just~f£cation~ Rule 9J-5.005?(5)(b)l., F.A.C., requires a specific
objective providing for a safe, convenient and energy efficient
multi-modal transportation system. The proposed objective
consistent with the above identified rule. This objective also
states that intergovernmental coordination with County requirements
will be done.
Policy E-3.1~ In the development of its TME~ Delray Beach shall
establish level of service standards during the peak hour for roads
and transit facilities within its Jurisdiction after consultation
with the Florida Department of Transportation~ the County, and any
affected local governments.
Justifications Rule 9J-5.0057(5)(b)l., F.A.C., requires the C~t¥ to
adopt such a policy if TCMAs are designated In a Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed policy implements and ts consistent with the above
identified rule.
Policy E-3.2= In the development of its TME~ Delray Beach shall

Amendment 92-1 Is anticipated to occur In late August 1992.
The second Amendment (92-2), ,ormally addresses specific Items
which need attention prior to the end of the year. In the
course of preparing the 2nd Amendment, some administrative and
corrective Items are also addressed. Amendment 92-2 was
initiated by the City Commission on May 26, 1992. The
significant features of Amendment 92-2 includes

ITEMS ADDED AFTER INITIATION
The Blood's Grove item (#? above) was added to Amendment 92-2
subsequent to initiation by the City Commission. Please refer

Grove.
