SUBJECT: Appeal of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board approving a Site Plan (and reviewing supplemental information submitted by the Applicant) to allow construction of a two-story place of public assembly with a technical deviation from Section 23-190, Code of Ordinances, related to off-site vehicular circulation and maneuvering for the Chabad of East Boca located at 770 East Palmetto Park Road (Resolution No. 2015-007, SPA-14-09/14-95000005)

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that the City Council uphold the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board approving a Site Plan (and reviewing supplemental information submitted by the Applicant) to allow construction of a two-story place of public assembly with a technical deviation from Section 23-190, Code of Ordinances,· related to off-site vehicular circulation and maneuvering for the Chabad of East Boca located at 770 for the Chabad of East Boca. This recommendation is based upon the opinion of the Development Services Department that the approved Site Plan is consistent with the City's Code of Ordinances.

NOTICES OF APPEAL FILED

Pursuant to Section 28-56, Code of Ordinances, if any party is aggrieved by a decision of the Planning and Zoning Board, such party may appeal within 30 days of the date of the written Resolution of the PZB to the City Council by filing a notice of appeal. Two (2) notices of appeal relating to the Site Plan approval (SPA-14-09/14-95000005) for the Chabad of East Boca project were submitted to the City by the following parties:

1. Arthur C.

Applicant and fail to consider the prima facie injuries to the aggrieved parties and in general, render a decision and/or recommendation that is contrary to the general welfare of the aggrieved parties.

2. John R. Eubanks, Jr., Esq. on behalf of Royal Palm Real Estate Holdings LLC, Royal Palm Properties LLC, and David W. Roberts. The Appellants are requesting that the subject project be denied based upon the following opinion:

• That the Planning and Zoning Board's decisions and/or recommendations violate multiple provisions of the City Code, rely upon improper interpretations of the Code, and/or were arbitrary and capricious and without reasonable analysis and investigation into the representations of the Applicant and the injuries sustained by (and /or general welfare) the Appellants.

BACKGROUND A public hearing on the Site Plan request was held by the Planning and Zoning Board on

March 19, 2015. The Applicant in connection with a related application for special case (for additional height) provided revisions to the Site Plan and documentation to clarify unresolved project issues and apparent inconsistencies, and the Planning and Zoning Board re-reviewed the Site plan application (as revised) on May 07, 2015.

Accordingly, on May 7, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Board granted Site Plan approval in a 5-1 vote (Resolution No. 2015-007) to allow construction of a two-story place of public assembly with a technical deviation from Section 23-190, Code of Ordinances, related to off-site vehicular circulation and maneuvering for the Chabad of East Boca located at 770 East Palmetto Park Road. Upon completion of the Board's public hearing, the following additional condition was approved by the Board:.

1. The Exhibit Hall attendance shall be limited to 87 visitors per hour in the a.m. or p.m. weekday peak hour. This attendance equates to a maximum of 40 peak hour trips on Palmetto Park Road to the west, in accordance with the insignificant impact analysis and determination to keep project traffic less than 1% of the level of service (LOS) D standard, as defined in Article 12 (Traffic Performance Standards) of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code. Any determination by the City or County that Exhibit Hall visitors exceed this amount will require the Owner to submit within 45 days of said determination a revised traffic study to retest for concurrency and consistency. If the study shows a failure of any test, as determined by City or County, the City may pursue code enforcement action and/or require the modification of this development approval or and/or pursue revocation of this development approval as provided in Section 4 of this Resolution set forth below.

At the May 07, 2015 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, the Site Plan and documentation to clarify unresolved issues and apparent inconsistencies submitted by the Applicant were reviewed accordingly. These revisions and clarifications to the Site Plan application included the following:

1. A revised Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculation that included only the Local Business (B-1) zoning district portion of the parcel.

Page 3 Chabad of East Boca -Appeal

2. A revised vertical clearance of the ground floor parking area from 12 feet to 14 feet. This was a typographical error on the Site Plan and did not affect the overall height of the proposed project.

3. A correction to the number of required parking spaces for the Exhibit Hall from 11 to 13 parking spaces. The additional two (2) parking spaces corresponded to each employee of the Exhibit Hall at maximum shift and did not impact the overall number of required parking spaces. This correction to the Site Plan was made after the May 07, 2015 Planning and Zoning Board meeting and therefore was duly noted on the May 27, 2015 City Manager memorandum.

4. Supplemental information regarding bus maneuvering. Staff determined that the site will accommodate vehicles classified as "Passenger Car (P) Design Vehicle" per the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (MSHTO) design standards, and ¥ehicles not exceeding 22 feet in overall length, 10 feet in overall height and 8 (eight) feet in overall width. The Applicant did demonstrate that such vehicles can enter and exit the site on East Palmetto Park Road. No passenger loading/unloading shall take place on rights-of-way adjacent to the premises.

Additional revisions and clarifications, provided by the Applicant, to the Site Plan application including the application narrative and Site Plan are detailed in the May 07, 2015 planning report (see attached).

Pursuant to Section 28-777 of the City Code, places of public assembly are a permitted use in the Local Business (B-1) zoning district. Section 28-2 of the City Code states that places of public assembly shall mean any area, building or structure where people assemble for a common purpose, such as social, cultural, recreational and/or religious purposes, whether owned and/or maintained by a for-profit or not-for-profit entity, and includes, but is not limited to, public assembly buildings such as auditoriums, theaters, halls, private clubs and fraternal lodges, assembly halls, exhibition halls, convention centers, and places of worship, or other areas, buildings or structures that are used for religious purposes or assembly by persons.

Based on the most intense nonconcurrent use which is the Sanctuary, a total of 81 parking spaces are required and 81 parking spaces are provided on site. Vehicular access to the site is provided through one full access driveway connection on East Palmetto Park Road (classified as a minor driveway), and one right-in/left-in/left-out driveway on Southeast Olive Way (classified as a minor driveway). The project traffic consultant, JMD Engineering, Inc., prepared a traffic study and estimated the project's trip generation for the following three scenarios: weekday peak hour of adjacent street traffic, weekday peak hour of the generator, and Saturday peak hour of the generator. The study was reviewed by the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineer who found that the project met the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance subject to a maximum allowable attendance for the Exhibit Hall which is noted under condition (14) of the approved Site Plan (Resolution No. 2015-007). A technical deviation, pursuant to City Code Section 23-190(h), was required for off-site vehicular circulation and maneuvering. The project traffic consultant provided a technical deviation request and justification pursuant to City Code Section 23-190(k). With respect to the parking design, there is no on-site vehicular connection between two (2) proposed parking areas. However, given the relatively low traffic volumes anticipated in association with the use, as well as a net positive environmental benefit, an internal connection is not critical to the site's operation. The City Traffic Engineer did not object to the technical deviation to allow for off-site vehicular circulation
