SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM ~ ~O~ - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 1991
ORDINANCE NO. 60-91
DATE: September 6, 1991
This is a second reading of an ordinance correcting the zoning
classification for a parcel of land located on the south side of N.W.
4th Street, adjacent to the Cason United Methodist Church facility
from R-iA (Single Family Residential) district to CF (Community
Facilities) District and correcting the Official Zoning Map.
Previously, the Church had requested that the church property be zoned
to CF. Apparently, during that process, the legal descriptions for
these lots were inadvertently omitted and thus, this property was
retained as R-lA.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 60-91 on second and final reading.

CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION

FROM: PAUL DORLING, PLANNER I~~
RE: MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 1991
CORRECTION ORDINANCE~ ZONING MAP - CASON UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the City Commission is that of
approval on first reading of an ordinance correcting the
official Zoning Map.
BACKGROUND:
This possible error in the official Zoning Map has come to the
attention of Ci~.~_f~c~l~hthrough correspondence from Paul J.
Steele, Chairpe~_on_~~nited Methodist Church. A request
was made for consideration of special relief pursuant to Section
2.4.7(F)(2).
The Special Advisory Board will meet on August 27, 1991 and
determine if the zoning was not changed to the requested
designation in error. The normal sequence of events is the
Special Advisory Board would meet and by unanimous vote place
this item before the City Commission. However, given the Sunset
Clause provision of Section 2.4.7(F)(2)(d) of September 1, 1991
and the recent identification it was prudent to place this item
before the Commission pending the Special Advisory Board Meeting
of August 27, 1991.
ANALYSIS:
During review of the Citywide zoning changes effective October 1,
1990 a representative of the Cason United Methodist Church met
with City officials and attended the Planning and Zoning Board
and City Commission hearings. At these meetings a request to
have the church property zoned to CF was discussed and ultimately
assigned to the portion of property on which the church sits.
Apparently, in assigning the CF zoning designation no legal
description of the churches holdings was reviewed and Lots 1-6
Block 41 owned by the church since 1963 were retained as R-lA
instead of combined with the balance of the church site.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION:

provision of the LDRs and pertains to the inadvertent or
inappropriate nature of the action, the Planning and Zoning Board
is not involved.

based on the findings of the Special Advisory Board meeting of
August 27, 1991.

2. Land Development Regulation hearings June,
July and August 1990.
Dear David:
i am in receipt of a letter from Jasmine Allen of your
office dated August 20, 1991 regarding item one above. This
letter was written as a result of Cason United Methodist
Church's application for expansion of its facility.
The two issues at hand are zoning of the church property and
the operation of the child care facility by the church.
ZONING
Reference is made to my personal meetings with you, planning
and zoning hearings and city commission hearings during the
months of June, July and August 1990 regarding the zoning of
the church property and the church's plans for expansion of
its facilities and the effect the new land development
regulations of the city would have on the church site.
It was agreed to by planning and zoning and approved by the
city commission that the church site be zoned CF (Gommunity
Facility) and that the site would not be part of the
historic preservation district.
Evidently the legal description of the church property was
.not reviewed and the six lots (Lots i thru 6, Block 41) in
the western sector of the site remained zoned R-lA while the
rest of the church property wa~ zoned CF (Community
Facility). These lots have been owned by the church since
1963.
Now that the church is in it's expansion plans, today's
letter indicates we must apply to have the property rezoned
thus causing delays and additional cost to the church.
Mr David Kovacs, City Planner
City of Delray Beach
Page 2
Et is my understanding from talking with Jasmine that there
ia relief and the Special Adjustment Advisory Board can
recommend to the City Commission corrective action to
correct th~ zoning. It is also my understanding that this
has to be accomplished before the sunset date of Sept. 1,
1991. ..... ~,~i.~
I discussed this matter with Bob Barcinski. Assistant City
Manager, today and verbally requested this be a City
Commission agenda item for August 27, 1991.
This letter is a formal written request to correct the
zoning of the total church parcel to CF (Community Facility)
zoning which was the original intent of our request during
the land development regulation hearings.
CHILD CARE FACILITY
The letter also indicates that the child care facility which
has been operated by the church since 1986 never received
approval from the city. ,
I discussed this matter with some of the individuals
involved at the time of origination and I was advised that
we worked directly with the staff of the city to make sure
the facility was in compliance and would not be in violation
of city codes. In particular Mel Pendergraft's name was
mentioned. The church obtained occupational licenses for
the child care facility from the initial date and has done
so each year since. Also, we are inspected regularly by
Larry Garito of the fire department for compliance.
A review this date with Jasmine of the old zoning codes at
the time the day care was established shows that "Churches
or places of worship and their attendant educational, child
~K~, recreational and columbarium facilities" was a
conditional use of the zoning. Since the church has been on
the site since 1969 it appears that zoning was not an issue
at the time of establishment of the child care program but
rather a city staff approval process to make sure codes were
complied with. It does not seem to me that the city would
issue an occupational license for operation of the child
care program without the proper approval process being
complied with at that time.
I feel that the church has always been in compliance with
city zoning codes and a conditional use application should
not be necessary.
Mr David Kovacs, City Planner
City of Delray Beach
Page 3
Also, if my interpretation of the letter of August 20, 1991
im correct if the total church site has a CF (Community
Facility) zoning classification this application would not
be necessary.
This letter is a formal request that the city not require
this conditional use modification application.
REVIEW
I feel as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cason
United Methodist Church that we made a diligent and
responsible representation to the City during the land
development regulation process of the church's intent on its
zoning request and the uses the church provides and intends
to provide to the City of Delray Beach. It ia respectfully
requested that the Special Adjustment Advisory Board and the
City Commission respond favorably with corrective action
upon this request for proper zoning and conditional use
.modification as outlined.
Thank your for your consideration.
