Application No.: PDD/R/W2005-1174 Control No.: 2005-394 Applicant: Palm Beach Aggregates, Inc. Owner: Palm Beach Aggregates, Inc. Agent: Kilday & Associates, Inc. Telephone No.: (561) 689-5522 Project Manager: Eric McClellan, Senior Site Planner ______________________________________________________________________ Location: Approximately 1.5 miles west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road on the north side of Southern Boulevard (Highland Dunes PUD). ______________________________________________________________________ Title: Official Zoning Map Amendment to a Planned Development District. Request: Rezoning from the Specialized Agriculture (SA) Zoning District to the Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. Title: Waiver. Request: To allow a school, secondary or elementary. Title: Requested Use. Request: To allow deviation from cul-de-sac and dead-end restrictions. ______________________________________________________________________ APPLICATION SUMMARY: Proposed is the rezoning of 1,209.96 acres of land from the Specialized Agriculture (SA) Zoning District to the Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) District to allow for the development of 2,000 dwelling units at a gross density of 1.65 dwelling units per acre. The property is currently approved for commercial (Type III B) excavation as part of the 4,051.07-acre Palm Beach Aggregates excavation, hydro-storage and power plant site. The proposed site plan indicates 1,140 single family dwelling units; 860 zero lot line dwelling units; a 15.77-acre civic site to accommodate the future development of an elementary or secondary school for 970 students; an additional 24.23-acre public civic site; 2 recreation areas totaling 13.61 acres; a 5.68-acre commercial pod to accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 square feet of mixed commercial uses; a 50-foot wide public trail network consisting of 33.54 acres; a 96.51-acre lake; and multiple open space and satellite recreation areas totaling 364.65 acres. The applicant is also requesting a waiver to allow more than 25 percent of the proposed internal streets to terminate in a cul-de-sac or dead-end. Access to the site will be from Southern Boulevard (SR 80) with future cross access to the adjacent property to the east. ______________________________________________________________________ ISSUES SUMMARY: o Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The Planning Division has reviewed the application and determined that the requests are consistent with the site’s Low Residential 2 (LR-2) Future Land Use (FLU) designation as assigned by the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan, including minimum and maximum requirements for intensity and density of development. The site was previously the subject of a FLU Amendment (LGA2004-00047, Palm Beach Aggregates II, Ordinance 2004-066) from Rural Residential 10 (RR-10) to LR-2. That request was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on December 13, 2004, subject to 6 conditions of approval. Also at that time, the site was included within the Glades Area Protection Overlay (GAPO) and designated a Limited Urban Service Area (LUSA). See Planning Division Comments for additional information.

o Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses To the north of the site are single-family residences within the Deer Run and White Fences subdivisions. The adjacent property to the east is undeveloped and anticipated to potentially accommodate a future employment center consisting of office and industrial uses as part of the Central Western Communities Sector Plan. To the south, across Southern Boulevard/SR 80 (220-foot wide right-of-way), is conservation land within the Village of Wellington that is owned by South Florida Water Management District and utilized for regional water management purposes. To the west, across the L-8 Canal (500-foot wide right-of-way) and a 400-foot wide wildlife corridor, is the Palm Beach Aggregates excavation site, future FPL electric power plant, and South Florida Water Management District reservoirs. The applicant is proposing substantial perimeter buffers to address potential incompatibilities with surrounding nonresidential uses. As proposed and subject to the recommended conditions of approval, staff anticipates no adverse impacts to the surrounding properties from the requests. o Traffic The Engineering Department estimates that the proposed development will generate 17,320 trips per day. To mitigate the impacts of the trips, the Engineering Department is recommending the installation of turn lanes along the frontage of Southern Boulevard; phasing of construction to coincide with planned improvements to the regional transportation network; and signalization as part of the site development program. o Landscape/Buffering The applicant is proposing a significant landscape buffer system as part of the proposed site development program. The proposed master plan provides landscape buffers ranging in width from 150 to 215 feet along the vast majority of the perimeter site boundary, which far exceeds minimum ULDC landscape buffer width requirements of 5 to 20 feet. These buffers will include earthen berms ranging from 17 to 39 feet in height; planting (canopy trees, palms, pines and shrub materials) in excess of minimum ULDC requirements; pre-cast concrete walls in strategic locations to offer screening, security and separation for the proposed residential units; and a 50-foot wide continuous public civic corridor totaling 33.54-acres and extending approximately 5 miles that will include a meandering, paved pathway on the plateau of the berm. In accordance with ULDC Article 7., the berming component of the proposed landscape program requires approval of an Alternative Landscape Plan (ALP). Staff is recommending that the ALP be submitted at time of final DRO approval to ensure consistency between the landscape plan, master/site/regulating plans, and the recommended conditions of approval. Staff is also recommending that the ALP be subject to review and approval by the Landscape Section to accommodate flexibility in the final landscape design; to ensure an appropriate quantity of landscape materials; and to achieve a landscape appearance that respects existing vegetation and character in the vicinity of the site. The master/site/regulating plans provide a 20-foot wide right-of-way landscape buffer along the Southern Boulevard frontage of the proposed public civic sites. These right-of-way buffers will be landscaped in accordance with standard ULDC regulations. o Exemplary Projects Pursuant to ULDC Article 3.E.2.A.4., the rezoning of property to the PUD district shall only be granted for projects that exceed minimum ULDC requirements, objectives and standards for a Planned Development District. Included within these criteria for exemplary design are aesthetics, creative design, mix of unit types, and the provision of affordable housing, amongst others. The proposed Master/Regulating Plans provide the following in furtherance of the PUD exemplary design objectives:

• perimeter landscape buffers far in excess of minimum ULDC width requirements and that incorporate amenities for public access and benefit;

Page 3: PALM BEACH COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING AND ...BCC January 5, 2006 Page 548 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000 PALM BEACH COUNTY

BCC January 5, 2006 Page 550 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000

• providing upgraded plant materials within perimeter landscape buffers; • incorporating an 8-foot wide paved pathway to provide pedestrian access

throughout the site; • designing the site in a manner that includes minimal back-to-back units and

that allows the vast majority of units to abut a landscape buffer, lake tract, and/or other open space feature;

• incorporating significant open space acreage within each residential pod; • allocating land to commercial use to serve community residents; • incorporating substantial civic uses within the proposed development program

to serve the regional population; • providing civic acreage (73.54 acres) that far exceeds the minimum ULDC

requirement (24.2 acres); • providing waterfront recreation areas with enhanced amenities to expand

potential recreation opportunities within the project; • decorative paving treatment at the point of entry from Southern Boulevard

and at other strategic locations throughout the site; • focal points within select cul-de-sac and roundabout islands; • multiple access points into select residential pods; • recreation acreage (13.61 acres) in excess of the minimum ULDC

requirement (12 acres); • incorporating an internal drainage system (i.e. 200-750 foot wide flow way)

that will perpetually hold water at a depth of approximately 11 feet and that provides a significant amenity and recreation opportunities for community residents;

• designing the 96.51-acre lake tract to include a shoreline and central island for potential non-motorized recreation opportunities;

• dispersing recreation and open space areas throughout the site to provide convenient access and opportune relationship to nearby residential units;

• providing cross-access to the adjacent property to the east; • a site grading program that may allow vertical streetscape relief and other

diverse landscapes within the development; and, • providing a percentage of open space acreage (42%) that exceeds the

minimum ULDC requirement of 40%. To further the PUD exemplary design objective, staff is recommending that the following elements be incorporated into the final site design and development:

• standard ULDC limitations on streets terminating in cul-de-sacs and/or dead-

ends; • 2 water fountains as a focal feature within the 96.51-acre lake tract; • upgraded amenities within the neighborhood recreation areas and alongside

a planned 8-foot wide pathway system; • landscape focal points within cul-de-sac islands, median islands, and at the

terminus of dead-end streets; • elimination of permitted palm substitutions for canopy trees within perimeter

landscape buffers; • centerline curvature for lengthy roadway segments within residential pods; • additional elements (shade structures, benches, trash receptacles, and

lighting fixtures) incorporated into the 50-foot wide peripheral public trail corridor; and,

• provision of attainable housing. o Waiver: Deviation from Cul-de-sac and Dead-end Restrictions Pursuant to the Planned Development District (PDD) Performance Standards of ULDC Article 3.E.1.C.2.a.5), no more than 25 percent of the local streets in a PDD shall terminate in a cul-de-sac or a dead-end unless waived by the BCC. This limitation is directly related to the purpose, intent, and design objectives of the various Planned Development Districts to promote sustainable living, encourage alternative modes of transportation, and create logical street and transportation networks. The applicant is

Page 4: PALM BEACH COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING AND ...BCC January 5, 2006 Page 548 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000 PALM BEACH COUNTY

BCC January 5, 2006 Page 551 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000

requesting that the BCC waive this limitation in order to accommodate the conceptual site design. The applicant’s conceptual site plan indicates that approximately 36% of all interior streets would terminate in a cul-de-sac. To justify the Waiver request, the applicant alludes to unique design considerations arising from the planned flow way drainage system. The applicant indicates that cul-de-sac lots allow the flow way to function more efficiently by allowing uninterrupted water flow. Staff has concluded that uninterrupted flows could be achieved by bridging interior roadways at flow way crossings (no different that proposed pedestrian bridges at flow way junctures), thereby contributing to exemplary design by creating intriguing streetscapes and dynamic settings. The applicant also indicates that a secondary benefit of the proposed cul-de-sac design program is additional residential lots with frontage on the flow way. Conversely, staff would contend that residential lot frontages along the flow way privatizes this feature; thereby hampering shared access to an amenity that is being designed and promoted as a communitywide asset for all community members alike to share and appreciate. The applicant sites prevailing market preferences as additional justification for the Waiver. Specifically, the applicant suggests that a direct relationship exists between a homeowner’s sense of security and the number of cul-de-sacs within the community. Conversely, staff would contend that cul-de-sacs and gated community entryways may instill a false sense of security and lull residents into complacency. The applicant also suggests that cul-de-sac lots promote a friendlier family environment; are more desirable for the modern family; are larger in size than other lot types; and are subject to less traffic. Staff would contest that cul-de-sacs may serve to interrupt social networks amongst neighboring families and households, and may possibly create twice the traffic volume along cul-de-sac lot frontages due to directional limitations and restrictions upon reaching the street terminus. Lastly, the applicant makes note that approximately 275 homes (or 13.75% of all 2,000 units) would front on a cul-de-sac street. The applicant suggests that this number is an insignificant amount when compared to the benefits the community will receive by allowing cul-de-sac lots. However, the applicant fails to qualify these benefits or address the consequences of these cul-de-sacs upon the efficiency of the interior circulation system for a site as significant as 1,209.96 acres and 2,000 dwelling units. Furthermore, denial of the Waiver request and compliance with the standard 25% limitation prescribed by the ULDC would not prohibit cul-de-sac and dead-end streets altogether; thereby preserving some design flexibility to accommodate the applicant’s design preference. For each of the foregoing reasons, staff does not support the Waiver request and prefers the secondary benefits of a more holistic, continuous and logical street network. Given the sheer size of the site; the configuration of the 1,209.96-acre property; and the physical state of the land proposed for development, staff has identified no natural constraints (i.e. existing vegetation, canal alignments, water bodies, design limitations, etc.) that prohibit compliance with the standard ULDC cul-de-sac and dead-end limitation. Furthermore, in light of the significant number of proposed residential units, staff has concluded that a more continuous and interconnected primary circulation system would promote human interaction and socialization; induce pedestrian activity, thereby contributing to healthy and sustainable community principles while offering natural surveillance to discourage criminal activity; and achieve a broader definition of personal space, thereby contributing to a strong sense of place and community across the entire 1,209.96-acre site. For all of the foregoing reasons, staff views a continuous and comprehensive interior street system as an effective tool to combat the overwhelming scale of a 1,209.96-acre planned residential environment consisting of 2,000 dwelling units. To this end, staff considers a Waiver from cul-de-sac and dead-end restrictions to defy the purpose, intent, and objectives for Planned Development Districts; compromise an efficient circulation program; and undermine a sound community-building approach for such a significant project.

o Project Analysis - Model Row The proposed master plan indicates that a model row will be located within Pod E of the proposed PUD, which is located just east of the access drive from Southern Boulevard. Pursuant to ULDC Article 3.E.1.G.3.c., a model row is permitted for planned developments with 300 or more units; shall consist of a maximum of 16 units; shall be located within a residential pod; shall be limited to the sale of units within the project only; and shall be designated on the site plan at time of approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). As proposed, the model row meets all ULDC requirements. o December 1, 2005 Zoning Commission (ZC) Hearing Project Presentations - At the ZC hearing, discussion on this application began during discussion of the tandem Palm Beach Aggregates (DOA2005-1173) application. Staff provided a presentation of the project and explained the basis for recommending denial of the Waiver request. Thereafter, the applicant’s representative explained the relationship between the 2 pending applications and noted that this application would remove the subject site from future blasting activities associated with the Palm Beach Aggregates excavation approval. This representative then turned attention to the following conditions of approval:

• Architectural Review Condition 1, which addresses design requirements for various structures and amenities throughout the project. The applicant’s representative indicated that additional details may be submitted for staff’s consideration prior to the BCC public hearing. Revised language that offers additional flexibility has been included herein.

• Building and Site Design Condition 2, which recommends a limitation on cul-de-

sac and dead-end streets within each residential pod. The applicant’s representative indicated that few streets will terminate in a cul-de-sac or dead end; thereby meeting the spirit of the provision. The representative also suggested that the related ULDC limitation should be stricken and that non-compliance is a function of staff’s application of the regulation to each individual street within a project. The ZC voiced no objections to the Waiver request and remarked that an analysis of a Waiver should be based upon design and function rather than quantity. Staff has agreed to delete the related condition but will continue to oppose the Waiver request.

• Planning Conditions 5, 6 and 7 pertaining to the provision of attainable housing.

The applicant requested that the conditions be deleted since the application does not include a request for a density bonus. The ZC expressed concern with the recommendations due to the lack of established rules or guidelines in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The ZC voted 5-1 to delete the conditions and requested that the topic be the subject of a future workshop.

• Planned Unit Development Conditions 3 and 4, which would require a generator-

equipped clubhouse or similar community building on the primary recreation pods. The applicant’s representative stated that a recreation program for these pods would be discussed with staff prior to the BCC hearing in order to better evaluate the recommendations and proposed condition language. The language has been modified herein to reflect the applicant’s intended development program for the recreation pods.

• Planned Unit Development Condition 5, which establishes a phasing program for

construction within the commercial pod. The applicant’s representative requested that the condition be modified to allow for the completion of construction upon issuance of the 1,500th building permit. The ZC questioned the distance to the closest commercial center and stated that the recommendation presents a favorable scenario and reflects sound planning by keeping traffic trips off of local roadways. All parties agreed to accommodate modified language that would be acceptable to staff and the applicant prior to

Page 6: PALM BEACH COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING AND ...BCC January 5, 2006 Page 548 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000 PALM BEACH COUNTY

BCC January 5, 2006 Page 553 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000

the BCC hearing. The condition has been revised herein to reflect a development phasing program that is mutually agreeable.

Public Comments - Two members of the public were in attendance to speak in opposition of the application. The first individual made reference to noise associated with ongoing blasting in conjunction with the nearby Palm Beach Aggregates excavation activity. This individual also alluded to sulfuric acid releases from the future power plant and stated that heightened traffic volume will be detrimental to the structural integrity of nearby buildings. The second individual noted that the affects of the proposed development will remain unknown until long after the project’s developer has vacated the subject property. The ZC then read a letter of opposition from a member of the public into the record. ZC Action - Following public comments, the ZC asked for the measure of distance between blasting activity and the closest proposed residential building. The applicant’s representative noted that this distance would reach approximately 1.5 miles, and that no blasting would be performed on the land area located immediately on the west of the L-8 canal. The ZC then voted unanimously in support of the requests as amended. ______________________________________________________________________

STAFF REVIEW AND ANALYSIS PLANNING DIVISION COMMENTS: FUTURE LAND USE (FLU) PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Residential 2 (LR-2) Underlying Land Use: N/A CONSISTENCY WITH FUTURE LAND USE (FLU) PLAN DESIGNATION: The Planning Division has reviewed the request for a rezoning of 1,209.96 acres from the Special Agricultural (SA) Zoning District to the Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) District to allow 2,000 detached residential units, a commercial pod, and a school, and determined the development proposal is appropriate for this parcel's LR-2 residential FLU designation. The site was previously the subject of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment in Round 04-2. The Board of County Commissioners adopted Amendment 2004-047 (Palm Beach Aggregates II, Ordinance 2004-066), on December 13, 2004, changing this 1,219.03 acre (1,209.96 acres based on revised survey for rezoning application) property's future land use designation from Rural Residential, one unit per 10 acres (RR-10), to Low Residential, two units per acre (LR-2), and identified the site as a Limited Urban Service Area (LUSA). The Florida Department of Community Affairs issued a Final Order that determined the amendment was in compliance on July 5th, 2005. The amendment was subject to the following conditions:

1. The subject site shall be limited to a maximum of 2,000 dwelling units and a minimum of 30,000 square feet and a maximum of 50,000 square feet of PUD-Commercial.

The applicant is proposing 2,000 dwelling units and a 5.68-acre commercial pod with 30,000 to 50,000 square feet, thereby complying with this condition.

2. Prior to Final DRO Master Plan approval, the applicant shall abandon all previous zoning approvals and mining permits on the subject site.

A concurrent Development Order Amendment for Palm Beach Aggregates (DOA2005-1173) will remove the subject site from the previous zoning approval boundaries in order to satisfy this condition.

3. Prior to Public Hearing DRO Certification, the applicant shall reserve right-of-way for potential connections to Okeechobee Blvd. on the north and shall provide interconnectivity to the adjacent site to the east if developed with an employment center.

The applicant has identified the potential Okeechobee Blvd. alignment as required by the Engineering Department, and identified potential roadway connections from the development to Okeechobee Blvd. and to the site to the east.

4. Prior to adoption of this site specific amendment and consistent with the purpose of the Glades Area Protection Overlay (GAPO), the applicant shall provide the County Attorney an executed restrictive covenant, approved by the County Attorney, which shall be recorded in the public records subsequent to the adoption of this site specific amendment, limiting the use of the property owned by the applicant or affiliated entities within the area covered by the GAPO to uses already approved by the County as listed in the application and in LU Policy 2.9-b of the GAPO. No development orders will be certified until after this restrictive covenant is recorded.

The restrictive covenant has been reviewed and recorded in Official Record Book 17900, page 257-270.

Page 19: PALM BEACH COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING AND ...BCC January 5, 2006 Page 548 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000 PALM BEACH COUNTY

BCC January 5, 2006 Page 566 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000

5. Prior to adoption of this site specific amendment the applicant shall provide the County Attorney an executed restrictive covenant, approved by the County Attorney, which shall be recorded in the public records subsequent to the adoption of this site specific amendment, prohibiting the property owned by the applicant or affiliated entities within the area covered by the GAPO from voluntarily annexing into a municipality, signing annexation petitions or otherwise consenting to annexation. No development orders will be certified until after this restrictive covenant is recorded.

The restrictive covenant has been reviewed and recorded in Official Record Book 17900, page 257-270.

6. Prior to Public Hearing DRO Certification, the applicant shall provide and indicate on the master plan a 50-foot wide open space trail corridor for the entire northern and western boundaries of the property that can link to the planned CWC Sector Plan integrated trail network. In addition, a PUD buffer shall be required to utilize the Rural Tier ULDC landscape buffer requirements for compatibility purposes.

The applicant has included a 50-foot trail corridor within an approximately 150 - 200 foot wide perimeter buffer that is required to utilize Rural Tier ULDC landscape buffer requirements. The maximum number of units potentially allowed on the site is calculated as follows: Maximum dwelling units allowed by LR-2 FLU with a PUD: 1209.96 ac x 2 du/ac = 2,419 units Maximum dwelling units pursuant to Ordinance 2004-066: 2,000 units Provided the site complies with PUD exemplary design standards the request for 2,000 dwelling units is consistent with Ordinance 2004-066 and the LR-2 FLU designation. The Zoning Division will address the project's compliance with exemplary design standards for a PUD. The master plan and conceptual site plan was reviewed for consistency with policies from the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and Transportation Element (TE) that encourage vehicular and pedestrian interconnectivity both within and between sites and discourage the use of dead end streets, including FLUE Policy 4.3-g, TE Policy 1.4-g, TE Policy 1.4-h, and TE Policy 1.4-i. As previously indicated, the applicant has provided vehicular and pedestrian connections to the potential Okeechobee Blvd. extension to the north and to the site to the east. Due to existing canals, r-o-w's, and existing uses, there are no other opportunities for connections to the south and west. Staff encouraged the applicant to improve connections between pods by limiting the use of cul-de-sacs and by providing additional vehicular access points into each pod. The applicant indicates that cul-de-sacs are necessary to avoid interrupting the flow way, and are preferable for many homeowners. The site plan was also reviewed for consistency with FLUE Policy 4.3-i, TE Policy 1.9-j, TE Policy 1.9-l, and TE Policy 1.9-m, regarding placement of open space and pedestrian linkages. The applicant has provided a comprehensive pedestrian pathway network that links neighborhood parks, private recreation areas, the perimeter trail, public civic sites, and the communities' sidewalk network. Staff encouraged the applicant to relocate one of the recreation sites to the northern portion of the development after considering the distance between the dwelling units in Pod C, H, and I and the proposed recreation sites (approx. one mile). The applicant declined, noting that the perimeter trail and neighborhood parks are within a 5-10 minute walk of most residents. Based on the location of the site adjacent to the proposed Central Western Communities Sector Plan (CWCSP), Staff encouraged the applicant to include several CWCSP components within the development including: a workforce housing component

Page 20: PALM BEACH COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING AND ...BCC January 5, 2006 Page 548 Application No. PDD/R/W2005-1174 BCC District 6 Control No. 2005-394 Project No. 05168-000 PALM BEACH COUNTY

and community open space areas of at least 50 percent of the gross acreage. Staff also encouraged the applicant to improve housing diversity and distribution through the use of varied housing types, including accessory dwelling units and product types other than detached single family dwelling units. The applicant declined to incorporate these components based on their development strategy for this project. Staff has included a condition requiring 10% of the dwelling units target the workforce housing income ranges. TIER: The subject property is not located within a Tier. FUTURE ANNEXATION AREAS/INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION: The subject site is located within one mile of the Village of Wellington. As part of the public hearing notice process, Zoning Staff has notified the municipality of the request. SPECIAL OVERLAY DISTRICT/NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN/PLANNING STUDY AREA: The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Glades Area Protection Overlay (GAPO). The purpose of the GAPO shall be to protect the Agricultural Production area in the Glades from encroachment by urban uses and other uses detrimental to the viability of agricultural, conservation, and restoration activities. The area east of the L-8 canal is a designated LUSA and allows a LR-2 land use and related complementary uses approved by the BCC. FINDINGS: The request is consistent with the parcel's LR-2 land use designation of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. ______________________________________________________________________ ENGINEERING COMMENTS: MAJOR THOROUGHFARES
