of a Planned Unit Development to allow for the construction of a 87,500 square -foot
medical office, diagnostic /clinical medical and general office building on Lot 1 of West
Park Center within the NorthCorp Planned Community District. Located west of Riverside
Drive (A /K /A NorthCorp Parkway), immediately south of the Marriott Hotel Planned Unit

Mr. Ellington gave a presentation of the June 18, 1992 staff report. Mr. Lioce stated he has
a conflict of interest with this project and will be abstaining from voting. Chairman Ornstein
expressed concern with proceeding with the review of this petition unless the Petitioner can
justify the need for medical use on this site. A discussion ensued.
Ms. Ann Booth, representing the Petitioner Daniel Catalfumo, stated one of the reasons the
Petitioner is requesting medical use on this site is that they did an analysis and there is no
•

available medical office space within the City of Palm Beach Gardens. There are office
buildings that have space available but they do not want medical offices in their buildings.
There is a need, through the Petitioner's marketing research, for medical office space.
Ms. Booth state this is generally 7.699 acres and the building itself is 87,500 square feet.
This is a four -story building with an ancillary two -story building to the side. Ms. Booth went
on to discuss the traffic circulation of the site. The Petitioner is currently in discussions with
the Club Safari in the Marriott Hotel regarding a cross parking agreement for the area on
to the north of this site. A discussion ensued regarding trip calculations. The Commission
requested a chart showing the trip allocations for each lot in the entire NorthCorp PCD site.
Ms. Booth stated they were advised that there is a question as to justification on the
reduction of the parking stall sizes and the assurance that they were not encroaching on
• their open space requirement as a result of the reduction in the parking space size. They
have a minimum open space requirement of 28% and they are providing 34.5% open space.
•
A discussion ensued regarding the calculation of parking spaces. The Commission requested
the Petitioner do a plan with all the required parking at 10' X 20' spaces.
Chairman Ornstein suggested calculating both parking and traffic trips for a medical use
entirely instead of part medical and part office.
Chairman Ornstein conducted a poll of the Commission, asking if the Commission approves
of the medical use of the site, should the parking, traffic trips, etc. calculations be based on
entirely medical use. Chairman Ornstein, Joe Hamzy, Jim Leatherman, and Alan Strassler
all agreed that the calculations should be based on medical use. Mike Rosen and Nick
Lioce stated it should be based on a mixed use.

The Commission directed the Petitioner to return to the next meeting of July 14, 1992
providing they can submit the required information to staff by July 7, 1992. The
Commission expressed concern with the lack of a justification for this use in the NorthCorp
PCD. The Commission requested a revised plan showing 10 X 20 parking spaces, the
required number of handicapped parking spaces in accordance with the ADA, the parking
calculations re- calculated for all medical instead of medical and office based on the medical
calculation in the City's draft Land Development Regulations, and to clarify whether the
future development area is included in the open space calculation. In addition, the
Commission requested a map illustrating the trips allocated for each PUD, Anspach and the
balance of trips distributed over the undeveloped lots.
PREAPPLICATION REVIEW: PUD -92 -09 - Recommendation to City Council re: Creation
• of a Planned Unit Development to allow for the construction of five one -story buildings,
with a total building square footage of 49,360, for a mixture of general office and industrial

(1- 42S -42E & 6- 42S -43E)
Mr. Ellington gave a presentation of the June 18, 1992 staff report. A discussion ensued
regarding parking calculations. Mr. Ellington explained to the Commission that with the
new Land Development Regulations they are trying to move away from parking calculations
based on employee counts.
Mr. Strassler asked where the entrance is to the one -way road running east -to -west along
the north side of the site. Mr. Strassler expressed concern with the loading zones and
dumpsters along that one -way road. Ms. Booth explained that the road is 30 feet wide. A
discussion ensued.

.� Ms. Booth addressed staff's concern regarding a sidewalk. Staff recommended sidewalks be
installed connecting the buildings. Ms. Booth explained that these are all individual office
uses or industrial uses and there won't be people walking between the buildings. Chairman
Ornstein directed the Petitioner to check the ADA requirements for this site. Staff also
recommended a sidewalk along RCA Boulevard. Ms. Booth explained that there is a
drainage ditch along RCA Boulevard and there is also a sidewalk on the other side of RCA
Boulevard.
The Commission directed the Petitioner to return to the next meeting of July 14, 1992
providing they can submit the required information to staff by July 7, 1992. The
Commission expressed concern with the 1 -way traffic and layout of loading area along the
north side of the property and recommended a 2 -way drive be provided . The Commission
• requested a revised plan showing 10 X 20 parking spaces and the required number of
handicapped parking spaces in accordance with the ADA and the parking calculations be
re- calculated for the office use based on the office calculation in the City's draft Land
Development Regulations.
A discussion ensued regarding whether the medical use for the previous petition should be
used as a basis for just parking calculations or all calculations involved with the medical
building site. Mayor Mike Martino, City Council Liaison, suggested using the parking
calculation formula in the new Land Development Regulations to calculate the parking
requirements.
