ITEM BEFORE THE'
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to
the City Commission on a rezoning from RM (Medium Density
Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) for the First
Presbyterian Church (39 Gleason Street).
The subject property is located at 39 Gleason Street which is
approximately 490' south of East Atlantic Avenue and contains 0.16
acres
· B:A~CKtG]~/OUN~DfPRJOJ~-ECT ;D-'Ei~:S"~R ! P~;T ION ~' ' I
Constructed in 1924 the Gibson Memorial Baptist Church was the first church to
be built east of the Intracoastal Waterway. The sanctuary for the congregation
was located at 36 Bronson Street one block south of East Atlantic Avenue. It
was purchased by the Presbyterian congregation in 1928 and was renamed the
Community Presbyterian Church. It remained the Presbyterian sanctuary until
their new church was constructed in 1977 at 33 Gieason Street, just to the west
of the subject property. After the construction of the new sanctuary, the building
became the congregation's Fellowship Hall and the church was renamed the
First Presbyterian Church.
Today, the First Presbyterian Church campus consists of several lots, including
Lot 6, Block C, John B. Reid's Village which is located on the west side of
Gleason Street and contains a paved parking lot. The existing sanctuary,
fellowship hall, christian education building, a 2 story accessory building, a
Columbium & memorial garden and a 52-space parking lot occupy that portion of
the campus located between Gleason Street and Bronson Avenue. The
remaining portion of the church campus is located on the east side of Brenson
Avenue and includes a paved parking lot and two residential structures (one
being the caretaker's residence and the other accommodating meeting rooms for
organizations such as the Boy Scouts).
Recent approvals included the designation of the Fellowship Hall and the
adjacent garden (on the north side of the fellowship hall) to the Local Register of
Historic Places by the City Commission at its meeting of November 16, 1999.
Other minor site improvements that have been approved administratively include
the addition of playground equipment, expansion of the courtyard area, and
installation of planters and decorative walls.
On July 10, 2001, the City Commission approved a rezoning request for the 3.3
acre church property and an existing residential parcel referred to as the "Fisler
Property" located at 37 Gleason Street from RM (Multiple Family Residential) to
CF (Community Facilities).
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from RM to CF for First Presbyterian Church (39 Gleason Street)
Page 2
The current request is to rezone the property located at 39 Gleason Street which
was recently purchased by the church and will be utilized as a facility for
Christian Education. The church has been in continuous operation for nearly 80
years on the adjacent property and during the past ten years adjacent tracts have
been purchased as the operations of the Church have expanded. As the church
campus continues to expand it is appropriate that all the properties be rezoned to
CF.

REQUIRED FINDINGS:
LDR (Chapter 3) PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to approval of Land
Use applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of
the official record. This may be achieved through information on the
application, written materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or
minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to
approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the
Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and
Compliance with the Land Development Regulations.
Future Land Use Map: The resulting use of land or structures must be
allowed in the zoning district within which the land is situated and said
zoning must be consistent with the applicable land use designation as
shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of Medium
Density Residential and is currently zoned RM (Medium Density Residential).
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(D)(5), within the RM zoning district, churches,
or places of worship, and their attendant educational, nursery, Sunday school,
recreational and columbarium facilities are allowed as a conditional use.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.21(A), the proposed Community Facilities (CF)
zoning district is a special purpose zoning district primarily, but not
exclusively, intended for locations at which facilities are provided to serve
public, semi-public and private purposes. Pursuant to LDR Section
4.4.21(B)(5) within the CF zoning district religious uses such as churches and
places of worship and attendant uses of day care, pre-school, educational
facilities, and with other normal educational (Sunday school) and recreational
facilities, and support facilities (e.g. parsonage) are permitted uses. The
proposed CF (Community Facilities) zoning designation is deemed consistent
with all Future Land Use Map designations. Rather than seek conditional use
approval to establish the use under the RM district, it is more appropriate to
establish the use under the CF zoning designation to be consistent with the
balance of the campus. Thus, based upon the above, a positive finding can
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from RM to CF for First Presbyterian Church (39 Gleason Street)
Page 3
be made with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map
designation.
Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
In the preparation of the Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan, the land use
designations throughout the entire planning and service area were considered
with respect to the overall land use pattem, assessment of level of service,
the provision of services, and meeting remaining land use needs. The
proposed use of the property is for a Christian Education facility. It is noted
that uses allowed under the CF zoning designation characteristically have
less impact on concurrency than other zoning designations consistent with
the underlying Medium Density Residential designation. Concurrency as it
relates to traffic and solid waste are discussed below.
Traffic:
Staff has requested a traffic analysis indicating the proposed impact that the
Christian Education facility may have. Although, such analysis has not been
submitted it is anticipated that a positive finding with respect to traffic
concurrency can be made. Attached as a condition of approval is that a
traffic analysis be submitted addressing the change in use.
Solid Waste:
A reduction in solid waste will result from the change in use as a single family
residence generates 1.99 tons of solid waste per year and the proposed
1,525 sq. ft. Christian Education facility will generate 1.22 tons of solid waste
per year [1,525 sq. ft. x 1.6 pounds/sq.ft/year = 2,440/2000 = 1.22 tons]. The
trash generated by this proposal can be accommodated by existing facilities,
therefore, a positive finding with respect to this level of service standard can
be made.
Consistency -- The requested designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive
Plan.
A review of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the
following policies were found with regard to rezoning.
Policy C-3.2 Coastal Management Element: There shall be no change in
the intensity of land use within the barrier island and all infill
development which does occur shall connect to the City's storm water
management system and sanitary sewer system.
P&Z Board Staff Report
Rezoning from RM to CF for First Presbyterian Church (39 Gleason Street)
Page 4
The proposed rezoning will accommodate the existing Christian Education
activities at the church. There will be a change in the use of the property from
one single family structure to a Christian Education facility. Consistency
findings with respect to future improvements will be made at the time of
development review.
Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the
existing and future land uses of the surrounding area.
Compatibility is discussed below under the Standards for Rezoning.
Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will
comply with the provisions and requirements of the Land Development
Regulations.
The site is developed and includes a single family structure, associated parking
and landscaping.
Within the RM (Multiple Family Residential - Medium Density) zoning district,
churches and their attendant educational facilities are allowed as a conditional
use [ref. LDR Section 4.4.6(D)(5)]. Within the CF zoning district, churches are
allowed as a principal use [ref. LDR Section 4.4.21(B)(5)].
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.6(F)(1), within the RM zoning district the R-1-A
(Single Family Residential) district requirements apply for single family detached
dwellings. A side interior setback of 7.5', rear setback of 10', and front setback of
25' is required. The existing structure complies with the setback requirements of
the R-1-A zoning district. It is noted that within the CF (Community Facilities)
zoning district a perimeter setback of 10 feet is required. The existing single
family structure and accessory structure (shed) will be non-conforming with
respect to the required side and rear yard setbacks as only 9.5' exists on the
south side, 4.7' on the east side and 9.7' on the north side. This situation will
remain non-conforming under the proposed CF zoning district.
Additionally, LDR Section 4.4.21(G)(2) requires that when the CF zone district is
adjacent to residential zoning, the perimeter landscaping should be increased to
a depth of 15 feet (15') or, as an alternative, either a wall, decorative fencing, or
hedging should be installed for aesthetic and buffer purposes. The south
perimeter immediately abuts residential zoning while multiple family residential
exists to the west across Gleason Street. There are some types of buffer
treatment along these perimeters although they are not uniform and include a
mix of shadow box fencing, chain link fencing and hedges. Appropriate buffer
treatment will be required with the change in use of the property.

Section 3.2.1 (Basis for Determininq Consistency): The performance
standards set forth in this Article either reflect a policy from the
Comprehensive Plan or a principle of good planning practice. The
performance standards set forth in the following sections as well as
compliance with items specifically listed as required findings in
appropriate portions of Section 2.4.5 shall be the basis upon which a
finding of overall consistency [Section 3.1.1(C)] is to be made. However,
exclusion from this Article shall not be a basis for not allowing
consideration of other objectives and policies found in the adopted
Comprehensive Plan in the making of a finding of overall consistency.
Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions): Standards B, C and E are
not applicable with respect to the proposed rezoning. The applicable
performance standards of Section 3.3.2 are as follows:
(A) The most restrictive residential zoning district that is applicable given
existing development patterns and typical lot sizes shall be applied to
those areas identified as "Stable" and "Stabilization" on the
Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map. Requests for
rezonings to a different zoning designation, other than Community
Facilities, Open Space, Open Space and Recreation, or Conservation
shall be denied.
The subject site is located within an area designated as "Stable" on the
Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map. The requested designation is to
a CF designation which is deemed acceptable for stable neighborhood areas.
Further, the use could be established under both the existing and proposed
zoning designation. Therefore, approval of the rezoning will not result in the
introduction of a use which otherwise would not be allowed.
(D)
That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are
deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing
and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient
regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new
use.
The pro~'erty is surrounded by the following zoning districts: to the north and
east is zoned CF (Community Facilities); to the south and west is zoned RM
(Multiple Family Residential - Medium Density). The existing land uses are: the
First Presbyterian Church and Christian Learning Center to the north and east;
multi-family residential to the south; and Crane's Beach House to the west. The
proposed Christian Educational facility use is compatible with the surrounding
uses as the church has co-existed with the neighborhood for many years. It is
noted however, that compatibility will be enhanced through specific regulations
which apply to the CF zoning district which, requires increased landscape
perimeter buffer treatment.

Section 2.4.5~D)(5) (Rezoning Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of
Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning
fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought.
These reasons include the following:
a=
That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally
established, in error;
That there has been a change in circumstances which make the
current zoning inappropriate;
That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the
Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property
based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or
neighborhood.
The applicant has submitted the following statement indicating the reasons for
which the rezoning is being sought based on "b" above:
When the present zoning laws were enacted in the early 1990's, the Church
property located at 33 Gleason had a/ready been in operation for nearly 70
years. At that time, the property was zoned RM Mu/ti-Family Residential
(Medium Density). Since that time, several tracts adjacent to the Church property
have been acquired and made a part of the Church campus. The RM zoning is
inappropriate and the property should be zoned CF (Community Facilities). The
Church has been in continuous operation on this property for nearly 80 years.
During the past ten years, adjacent tracts have been purchased as the
operations of the Church have expanded. In the year 2001, all the land owned
by the Church was rezoned CF and all subsequent purchases expanding the
church campus will follow this procedure. We don't anticipate that the
membership of the Church will change as a result of fact that the Church bought
this new property.
The basis for which the rezoning should be granted relates to both b and c in that
the use of the property for church related operations is more appropriate given its
immediate location to the existing church campus. It was identified with the 2001
rezoning that the church was in the process of expanding its campus and that it
was appropriate to allow the rezoning of another single family dwelling at that
time. Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section
2.4.5(D)(5) can be made.

This item was reviewed by the CRA at their July 25, 2002, meeting and the
Board recommended approval of the rezoning.
Courtesy Notices:
^ special courtesy notice was provided to PROD, the President's Council and the
following homeowners associations:
· Beach Property Homeowners Association
· Via Marina
Public Notice:
Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of
the subject property. Letters of objection and support, if any, will be presented at
the Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The proposed rezoning from RM (Multiple Family Residential- Medium Density)
to CF (Community Facilities) designation is supportable as the RM zoning is only
appropriate for small churches or single purpose structures and not for large
multipurpose church campuses. As the balance of the campus was recently
rezoned to CF all further expansions should also be zoned CF. Provided a traffic
analysis is provided, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section
3.1.1 (Required Findings), LDR Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions),
LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), and the Goals, Objectives, and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, this rezoning can be
recommended for approval based on the findings outlined in this report.
A. Continue with direction.
Recommend to the City Commission rezoning of the subject property from
RM (Medium Density Residential) to CF (Community Facilities), based on
positive findings with respect to LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), LDR
Section 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), and LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5)
