MEMORANDUM C4N'
TO: Steve Cramer, AICP, Principal Planner FROM: Ma Hod kips, AICP m' g SUBJECT: Revisions to Land Development Regulations
DATE: April 11. 2000
As we discussed, attached are three documents provided for the April 27 City Council workshop
regarding the revised land development regulations for the City of Palm Beach Gardens. Each
document is summarized below.
ATTACHMENT 1. This attachment summarizes the results of a local survey regarding
when concurrency must be obtained in the overall development review process. The City
now requires that a concurrency reservation be obtained prior to submitting an application
for development approval. The draft code provides for submission of a concurrency
reservation request at the same time as an application for development order approval is
submitted.
ATTACHMENT 2. This memo is in response to a question regarding traffic safely at the
eastbound 1 -95 exit at PGA Boulevard asked at the March 30 City Council workshop.
ATTACHMENT 3. This is a summary of recent changes to the draft land development
regulations, that have been prepared since the City Council's workshop on 3/30/00. This
document contains two (2) major items, as indicated below.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Cramer, AICP, Principal Planner
FROM: Marty Hodgkins, AICP
SUBJECT: City Council Issue Regarding Traffic Safety and 1 -95
DATE: April 10, 2000
At the 3/30/00 City Council workshop regarding the draft land development regulations, a question
was raised regarding problems experienced by motorists exiting 1 -95 and going eastbound on PGA
Boulevard. The question was based on the facts that exiting vehicles sometimes are stopped or
virtually stopped in the outside northbound travel lane, rather than the exit lane. Vehicles and drivers
who are stopped in the travel lane are at risk, as are drivers and vehicles who are heading north but
are not exiting at PGA. If this problem becomes persistent, could the problem be used to deny a
development order application?
I spoke with a local traffic engineer about this issue. He indicated that this type of issue normally is not
addressed as part of an overall traffic study, and therefore could not be used as the sole or principal
basis for denial. However, if continuous problems were experienced, the problems could be part of
an overall basis for denying a development order.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
