Page 2 of 2 MEETING DATE: A Development Review Committee meeting will be held in the Palm Beach Gardens Lobby Conference Room to review the following request on February 10, 2014 at 3 pm. Petitions PUDA-13-12-000053, CUMJ-12-12-000029, and LDRA-13-12-000050 (City Centre Twisted Trunk Microbrewery): A request on behalf of the property owner, CFO2 Palm Beach LP, for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment, Major Conditional Use and Text Amendment to allow for the location of a microbrewery within of the City Centre PUD, located at the southwest corn er of PGA Boulevard and U. S. Highway One in Palm Beach Gardens (PBG). The subject site is an existing 13.58 acre development zoned PUD and has a future land use designation of Commercial. The development received a determination of build-out from the City of Palm Beach Gardens Staff on December 29, 2004. All parcels within the PUD have been constructed with the exception of a future un-built development site (Parcel F). The site is located within the PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay. The applicant is seeking to locate the Tequesta-based Twisted Trunk microbrewery within 5,773 square feet of Building E in the PUD, which is located at the southeast corner of Ellison Wilson Road and PGA Boulevard. In addition, the applicant is seeking approval of 692 square feet of outdoor seating and the addition of a door to the west elevations to allow for deliveries for the microbrewery. Because of the large grade change and mature landscape buffer, the proposed delivery door will not be seen from the adjacent rights-of-way. No additional building area is proposed nor will any setbacks be affected. Additionally the applicant is proposing to locate required mechanical equipment within the existing mechanical equipment area on the south side of the subject building. In accordance with PBG requirements for screening, the applicant is proposing a four (4) foot wall (to match existing structures) on the south and west sides of the equipment. The proposed screening design will be consistent with other areas within the PUD that provide screening from the public view. To the north and east, the equipment location is surrounded by Building E and no additional screening is required. To bring this new business to the PUD, the applicant is requesting a PUD amendment and major conditional use to add the use to the PUD. In addition, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to allow for microbreweries within the PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay. On September 10, 2013, the City adopted Ordinance 11, 2013 which allows for microbreweries, as a conditional use, within the City. The text amendment proposes to include microbreweries within the PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay as a major conditional use. Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and assistance. Please contact this office at (561) 799-4237 should you have any questions.

History On April 17, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance 16, 1997, which approved an amendment to the Oakbrook Center PUD and Flame Building PUD, later renamed as the City Centre PUD, for site plan approval of office, retail, bank and restaurant space. The project signage package was approved on June 19, 1997 through the adoption of Ordinance 26, 1997. The City Council adopted Ordinance 26, 1998 on February 18, 1999 which granted a waiver to allow the overhead power lines within the PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay. The PUD Master Plan was amended on June 15, 2000, through the adoption of Ordinance 11, 1999, and the Parcel F approval was modified. Since then, several Administrative Amendments have been approved for the site. The PUD received a determination of build-out from the City of Palm Beach Gardens Staff on December 29, 2004. Outdoor Seating and Landscape The applicant is also proposing to include 18 tables with 36 chairs (two chairs per table) within a casual outdoor seating area for the convenience of its customers. This outdoor seating area Page 3 of 7 will have no service provided by the establishment. Based on LDR Section 78-191(d)(1), Outdoor Seating - Exemptions, it is the applicant’s understanding that the proposed outdoor seating at this location is therefore exempt from formal review, see below: (d) Exemptions. The following are exempt from formal review of outdoor seating but shall comply with section 78-191(a), applicability: (1) Casual seating without service. Businesses, institutions, or uses that serve food or beverages solely inside may have outdoor casual seating, such as a bench or tables and chairs, and shall meet all accessibility standards. The applicant proposes to replace the existing landscaping, adjacent the building’s frontage, with decorative pots that will include ornamental, topiary, and/or succulent plant materials for both an enjoyable and colorful aesthetic surrounding. The existing coconut palm will be preserved. The applicant is also proposing to install decorative railing around the outdoor seating area to define and provide a sense of place for the seating area. The applicant has provided typical details on both the proposed decorative pots and railing. Parking The requested microbrewery will be parked at the standard 1 space per 250 square feet ratio for retail uses. The submitted site plan reflects an updated site data table for the project. The former restaurant parking ratio of 1 space per 3 seats and 1 space per employee has been revised to reflect the current LDR requirements for restaurant parking at a ratio of 1 space per 250 square feet plus 1 space per 150 square feet. As a result of the change, the overall PUD parking requirement has been decreased by 22 spaces. Excluding the proposed parking garage improvements on Parcel F of the PUD, the current parking demand for the PUD is 377 spaces while 408 spaces have been provided. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to provide two (2) reserved parking spaces adjacent the new overhead door on the west elevation, see site plan. This parking will be reserved for use by Twisted Trunk managers/employees. No additional parking is proposed to be reserved for customers of the establishment. There are no additional parking spaces required for the site as a result of the proposed outdoor seating based on the above noted exemption from Section 78-191. Major Conditional Use Criteria Section 78-52(d) of the City Code establishes criteria for the review and approval of conditional uses.
