Public Hearing and Recommendation to Citv Council: Petition LDR-OS-OWOrdinance 23,2006: LDR Tat Amendment - Development Name and Address Standards A City-initiated amendment to the City’s Code of Ordinances by amending Chapter 78, “Land Development, ” as it relates to addresses, subdivision names, street names, and the Addressing Committee Aries Page, GIs Manager, presented the staff report, and explained this had come about because emergency personnel had not been able to find some addresses. The new requirements would be in effect for new development; guidance was requested for updating older sections of the City. Enforcement of the regulations, city-wide impact of the proposal, size of address numbers in relation to distance from the street, proposed language, illumination, and street names were discussed. Vice Chair Present declared the public hearing open. Vito DeFrancesco, Shady Lakes, commented on the expense to residents to illuminate house numbers and change the size of numbers, and asked that more thought be given to this. Carolyn Chaplik, Hudson Bay Drive, commented this was a good idea for emergency services, but this required more thought regarding illumination and changing street names, and suggested stamping the house number on the street. Palm Beach Gardens police officer Jules Barone spoke regarding the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design requirements and the difficulty in finding addresses, and his feeling that illumination was necessary and could be done simply by putting a photocell fixture in place of the front house light, and explained that consistency of number sizes was necessary. Robert Davis commented on the lack of numbers on commercial buildings, and that in some cities numbers on commercial buildings were illuminated. Hearing no hrther comments fiom the public, Vice Chair Present declared the public hearing closed. Other comments by the board were in favor of giving this more thought. MOTION: Vice Chair Present reopened the public hearing. Mr. Solomon made a motion to continue the public hearing for Petition LDR-05-O8/Ordinance 23, 2006 to a date certain of August 8,2006.

Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes June 27,2006 Page 3 Public Hearing and Recommendation to Citv Council: LDR-06-06-000004: Citv Code Amendment to Section 78-221: PGA Boulevard Corritibr Overlav A City-initiated request for approval of a text amendment to Section 78-221, PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay, Code of Ordinances. This City Code amendment provides for the approval of changes to the boundaries of the PGA Boulevard Corridor Overlay, standards for existing approvals, rezoning requirements, and to the permitted and prohibited uses within. Planning Manager, Brad Wiseman, presented the staff report, clarified certain uses, and explained that grandfathered projects could expand. Examples of the rationale for the proposed distance of the overlay from the right-of-way were given. Vice Chair Present declared the public hearing open. Eileen Tucker, Shady Lakes, expressed her opinion that staff had too much power to make administrative decisions that she felt should come before the board. Ms. Tucker felt rules should not be changed when an applicant did not meet current requirements, and that outdoor seating was distracting to drivers. Robert Davis, Orchid Cay, commented on the disclaimer for the public storage use, stated he was not in favor of restaurant outdoor seating invading the buffer space, and indicated the City Council did not always comply with the spirit or intent and the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board should not allow them to override decisions made here. Vito DeFrancesco, Shady Lakes, asked if there was any exparte. The City Attorney responded this was not a quasi judicial proceeding and exparte disclosure was not required. Mr. DeFrancesco commented on the overlay requirements and that it was only to be for landscaping, and reported that an administrative approval had been given to a restaurant which was going to have outdoor seating and could serve food under the arches where there was no restaurant and would be bringing food over public property to get to that location. Richard Orman, Oak Street, representing the PGA Corridor Residents Coalition, expressed their concern over provisions in this ordinance and asked that no uses be allowed within the 55’ buffer, which was to be only for landscaping; noted their concern that staff was overstepping with making changes, that storage facilities should not be allowed, and indicated the coalition would not stand for waiving any uses. Marty Minor, Urban Design Studio, commented he had helped write the overlay and indicated he liked the proposed amendments because they would provide clarity, and recommended looking at the other proposals on a global basis rather than just a single project. Shawn MacEntyre, developer of Mirasol Walk, commented on the buffer and the different interpretations regarding the thousand-foot requirement, advised that if this had been in effect there would have been no question because it would have been clarified; commented the Mobil station was to be remodeled and could be made to look a lot better if it was a conforming use, and advised that providing drive-thru lanes for drug stores was a change in the way that business was conducted and was a public service. Carolyn Chaplik, Hudson Bay Drive, commented that the gas station expansion could be extensive. Further comments were made by the members of the board complimenting the work done by staff, stating this board’s relationship with City Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes June 27,2006 Page 4 Council, and noting that several members were uncomfortable with the amendment as proposed. Direction to staffwas not to allow self storage in the overlay; that the overlay should not be amended; and that this petition should be reviewed and brought back. MOTION: Mr. Solomon made a motion to continue the public hearing for Petition LDR-06-06- 000004 to a date certain of August 8, 2006. Mr. Kanel seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 6-0 vote.

Options to correct any discrepancies would be included. Mr. Solomon noted there was nothing planted in the top level parking garage concrete planters at Downtown at the Gardens; service bays also were a concern to be addressed.

Mr. Solomon responded that a few meetings ago it had been explained that the audio tape would be the official record, and the minutes would not be the full text. It was confirmed by staff that both the recording and the minutes were available to the public. Concerns expressed were that with only summary minutes that City Council would not be aware of the board’s comments since they would probably not listen to the recording, and that recording from another meeting had not been available when requested by the public. Staff explained that the City Council staff reports listed all the board’s comments, all of the issues raised by the board, explained how the applicants had addressed each of those comments, and included a staff analysis of those revisions. Mr. Solomon recommended that an introductory paragraph of a sentence or two be included at the beginning of each of the minutes to let readers know the minutes did not contain the full text and there was a verbatim record available. Chair Kunkle requested that be done for these minutes and that approval be deferred until that was done.

Through a previously approved administrative amendment to the PCD, the applicant has reduced the amount of proposed office and retail uses and introduced a bank with a drive through facility and a furniture showroom. Pursuant to Section 78-345 of the City Code, entitled “Number of parking spaces required,” the furniture showroom use does not require as much parking as standard retail uses. Therefore, the applicant has indicated that, based upon the revised uses and the reduction in square footage, they are currently providing more than the required parking, and thus do not need to utilize the shared parking provisions of the City Code. BACKGROUND The Legacy Place PCD is located at the southeast corner of PGA Boulevard and Alternate A1 A. The PCD was approved on May 3, 2001, with the adoption of Ordinance 10, 2001. A site plan for Parcels A, B, and C was also approved on May 3,2001 viaResolution 58-2001. On July 1,2004, the site plan was amended to permit the construction of a mixed-use development consisting of 399,000 sf of commercial space and 69,000 sf of office space. Subsequent to the site plan approval, five administrative amendments were approved to permit, among other things, modifications to the site, landscape plans, and architectural elevations. Included in the amendments were the reduction in building sizes and proposed uses, and the introduction of a bank and a furniture showroom use, which reduced the overall parking demand and facilitated the current request. Currently the subject property is under development. PROPOSED AMENDMENT Deletion of conditions of approval numbers 22 through 26. Date Prepared: June 28,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition MISC-06-06-14 Page 3 of 4 2 0 - d. a?. .. .. .. 0~ .. 25. CONDITIONS AND DETAILS As justification for their request to delete Conditions #22 through # 26 of Resolution 129, 2004, the applicant has indicated that because they have reduced the total square footage on site and introduced new uses that require less parking, the parking requirements for those uses can now be accommodated without utilizing shared parking. Specifically, the applicant was originally approved for 399,000 sf of retail uses and 69,000 sf of office uses. Pursuant to Section 78-345 of the City Code, entitled “Number of parking spaces required,” the previously approved uses require 2,225 parking spaces. However, the applicant proposed to utilize shared parking, pursuant to Section 78-346 of the City Code, entitled “Shared parking.” Based upon the shared parking calculations, the applicant was only required to provide 2,018 spaces. Therefore, the applicant only provided 2,075 parking spaces on the approved site plan. Last year the applicant administratively amended the site plan to reduce the size of the buildings (and 0 Date Prepared: June 28,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition MISC-06-06-14 Page 4 of 4 Retail 1 per 200 sf Off ice 1 per 300 subsequently the uses therein), and introduce a bank and furniture showroom use, resulting in 340,888 sf of retail use, 48,000 sf of office uses, a 4,737 sf bank with drive through, and a 37,875 sf furniture showroom. As a result, the reduced square footage and the new uses do not require as much parking as the previously approved uses. Specifically, the revised mix of uses requires 2,03 1 parking spaces. Since the applicant is still proposing to provide 2,075 parking spaces on site, there is no longer any need for the applicant to utilize the shared parking provisions of the City Code, and thus no need to require an annual parking study to verify the adequacy of the shared parking and a surety bond to implement more parking, if warranted.

Any modifications to the uses and square footage on site will require the approval of a traffic impact analysis or traffic equivalency statement, as well as compliance with the City’s parkinp requirements. (Planning & Zoning) STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon staffs review of the previous and current approved uses and the parking provided on the site plan, staff has determined the parking requirements for the revised mix of uses will be met on site without the use of the shared parking provisions of the City Code. Therefore, staff does not object to the proposed deletion of Conditions #22 through #26, which will remove the requirements for the applicant to provide an annual parking study to determine whether more parking is needed, and to provide a surety bond up front for the addition of parking in the future, should the parking study indicate the need. Staff recommends APPROVAL of Petition MISC-06-06- 14 subject to the above-referenced condition of approval. 0 Date Prepared: June 1,2004 As Amended July 1,2004 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 6 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 RESOLUTION 129,2004 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA APPROVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE COMMERCIAL PORTION (PARCELS A, B, AND C) OF THE LEGACY PLACE PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PCD) LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF VICTORIA GARDENS AVENUE AND PGA BOULEVARD, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 399,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE AND 69,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE ON APPROXIMATELY 48 ACRES OF LAND; PROVIDING FOR WAIVERS; PROVIDING FOR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Sembler is requesting a Miscellaneous Amendment to eliminate conditions of approval #22-26 of Resolution 129,2004, which approved the current site plan for the subject site. The above-referenced conditions address the shared parking agreement approved with the site plan and outline various provisions to address any potential parking issues on the site in the future. The applicant is proposing to modify the development program, and as a result remove the need for the shared parking agreement and the associated above-referenced conditions. As part of the Legacy Place AA3 application, in which the approval of a drive-thru bank facility was requested, the development program for Legacy Place was revised to indicate the following use allocation: e 340,888 SF of retail e 13,500 SF of restaurant 48,000 SF of professional office 4,737 SF bank with drive-thru 37,875 SF of furniture showroom e e e 384 multi-family units This requested development program results in a parking calculation as follows: 359,125 s.f. of commercial space @ 1 space/200 s.f. 48,000 s.f. of professional office @ 1 space/300 s.f. 37,875 s.f. of furniture showroom @ 1 space/500 s.f.

The number of parking spaces provided on site will not change with the new development program, and will meet the City Parking Code without a shared parking agreement. The existing conditions of approval 22 through 26 of Resolution 129,2005 will therefore no longer be applicable. For reference, currently, the approved development program for the commercial portion of Legacy Place is 399,000 s.f. of commercial space and 69,000 s.f. of professional office space. The shared parking analysis approved with the current development program requires shared parking of 2,O 18 spaces. Overview and History: The subject property has a Future Land Use Plan designation of MXD, with a PCD zoning designation. A non-residential MXD waiver was granted for the project by City Council. The project received Conditional Concurrency Certification for 399,000 square feet of retail, 69,000 square feet of office, and 384 residential units on September 28, 1999. This request is consistent with the Conditional Concurrency Certification. The Legacy Place PCD was approved by City Council through the adoption of Ordinance 10,2001 on May 3,2001. The site plan for Parcels A, B and C (the non-residential portion) of the Legacy Place PCD was approved on May 3,2001 through the adoption by City Council of Resolution 58, 200 1. On July 1 , 2004, Resolution 129,2004 was approved to amend the approved site plan and to allow the construction of a mixed use development consisting of 399,000 square feet of commercial space and 69,000 square feet of office space. On August 9,2004 an Administrative Time Extension was issued for the Legacy Place PCD. The city determined that the requirements for an Administrative time extension had been met and extended the Legacy Place PCD build-out date to December 31, 2007. On June 6, 2005 an Administrative Amendment application was approved for modifications to approved site, landscape plans and elevations. On September 6, 2005 an Administrative Amendment application was approved for modifications to the approved site, landscape plans and architectural elevations. ComplianceLand Use : The subject site consists of three parcels (Parcels A, B and C) designated as Commercial and OfficeKommercial within the approved Legacy Place Mixed Use PCD. The proposed site plan is consistent with the submitted Legacy Place PCD Master Plan.

Due to the approval of several waivers to the lighting code’in situations where safety was a primary concern, staff finds that the City’s lighting regulations ’do not adequately address certain issues concerning clarity, public safety and the organization of :the section. A principle clarity issue that staff finds is that the current regulations lack “purpose;and intent” and “applicability” sections. Therefore, staff is proposing a purpose and intent section. Also, due to the anticipation that the code revision will create non-conforming lighting in the City, staff recommends an applicability section that will direct staff what events trigger the compliance of these regulations. The code currently does not distinguish the different lighting needs for parking garages, service station canopies, street lighting, landscape areas and lighting for recreational uses. Although regulations currently exist for building lighting, seasonal lighting and accent lighting, staff recommends that they are organized and modified to be clearer to enforce. Further, staff finds that the regulations regarding the photometric plans with regard to landscaping and field checking would strengthen staffs efforts at enforcing the lighting code. The existing code does not include regulations concerning the illumination of flag poles, and do not address conflicts between proposed landscaping and light fixtures. Finally, staff proposes to add a prohibited lighting section. Therefore, staff has initiated the code amendment to accomplish the goals stated above. Finally, staff notes that lighting regulations for single family residential properties have not been changed; however, single family residential properties will be more protected from new language which prohibit glare. CITY CODE AMENDMENT This City Code amendment provides for the approval of changes to the regulations and standards for exterior lighting. Section 78-1 82 is amended to state the following: (Deletions are stmek, new language is underlined): . Lighting regulations .. .. See. 78-182. .. .. (a) 4 2 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 3 of 16 (a) PurDose and intent. It is the purpose of this section to establish regulations regarding exterior lighting for development and redevelopment; to integrate lighting within developments; to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the city; to ensure the overall safety of residents and visitors; to minimize energy costs; to minimize light pollution; and to minimize adverse visual impacts upon drivers of vehicles. Lighting is not intended to be used as advertising or to draw attention to the building, mounds. or uses associated with such building. This section is applicable for all exterior lighting and lighting within parking garage structures, excluding linhting for signage which is regulated in a separate section of this chapter. [Staff comment: In Section 78-1 82(a), entitled “Illumination”, the existing code does not clearly state the purpose, intent or applicability of the section. Staff proposes new language for the “purpose and intent” section, which reflects the existing language. The purpose and intent emphasizes safety and reduction of glare. The enhancement of aesthetic appearance, minimization of energy costs and light pollution were added by staff as common concerns regarding illumination. In addition, staff proposes the title of Section 78-128 change to “Lighting Regulations”, in order to be more recognizable.] .. ..

Stairwells must maintain a minimum average of 20 fc 24 hours a day. Ramps, drive aisles, and all other areas of the parage must maintain a minimum average of 3.0 fc. (4) Outdoor lighting for sport facilities such as tennis courts, stadiums, soccer and ball-fields are exempt from the foot-candle standards in Table 1; however, lighting at sports -facilities shall not exceed IESNA-recommended practices for the tvpe of field and use, and shall meet standards for light spillover and glare for residential properties in this section. (7) In those areas designated as recreational areas, or within preserves, pedestrian paths or multi-purposepaths, or other areas that are either gated or secured or are closed afier dusk, lighting requirements shall be determined, as part of a development order approval, by the Growth Management Director with mandatory consultation with the Police Department in order to provide the adequate security lighting in the context of the recreational area. (3) Design standards. a. Street lighting for public and private rights-of-way may be designed in accordance with either FPL, DOT, or IESNA-recommended practices, provided the li&ting meets the minimum requirements set forth in Table 1. b. The location and desim of lighting for parking garages shall be consistent with IESNA standards. c. Proposed lighting installations that are not covered by the provisions in this section may be approved only if the city council finds that they are designed to minimize glare, do not direct light beyond the boundaries of the area being illuminated or onto adiacent properties or streets, and do not result in excessive lighting levels. IESNA standards shall be used to determine the appropriate lighting design. [Staff comment: The above modifications to Section 78-1 82(b) relate to staffs proposal to combine the residential and general regulations into a single “height, intensity and design standards” section and the foot-candle standards are placed in table form for easier reference. The existing Section 78- 182(b) are definitions that staff recommends be relocated to Section 78-75 1, entitled “Definitions”. Currently, the code only regulates foot-candle standards for vehicular use areas and pedestrian areas and the property line. Staff proposes that the minimum average foot-candle standards for pedestrian and vehicular use areas increase from 0.6 to 1 .O and 1 .O to 1.5 respectively. Staff proposes that the maximum average and maximum allowed foot-candle intensities remain the same as the existing standards, which is 10 foot-candles for both areas. The minimum and maximum average foot-candle standard for the property line will remain the same. It is currently at 5.0 fc for non-residential properties and 0.5 fc for inside residential properties. Staff proposes new standards for parking garages, landscape buffers, service station canopy and recreational areas. The code currently does not specifically address lighting for these uses, which 5 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 6 of 16 Type Service Station Site Mirasol Shell Speedway Donald (Mobil) Ross (Shell) Illumination 15.4 fc 32.1 fc 100 fc 55 fc may require increased lighting for safety purposes. Furthermore, staff routinely requests that applicants increase the lighting levels in parking garages for this purpose, which results in a waiver request. As an example, City Council has approved via waiver the following: Parking Garage Gardens Legacy Pointe 91.5 fc 12.5 fc Table 1 : Examples of illumination recently approved for service stations and parking garages in the city. The Police Department has indicated that parking garages and service stations need increased lighting for maximum visibility and surveillance due to safety concerns. Furthermore, the Police Department recommends IESNA standards be applied in regards to parking garage lighting. Therefore, staff proposes the minimum and maximum lighting levels for service station canopies and parking garages increase to levels consistent with nationally accepted lighting practices. Staff also proposes a section to enforce the location and design of the lighting fixtures to be consistent with IESNA recommended practices to determine more detailed standards for service station canopies, parking garages and outdoor sporting facilities that are outside of the maximum and minimum average maintained foot-candles. Finally, staff proposes that lighting for recreational areas, such as park paths, be determined by the Growth Management Director in consultation with the Police Department to ensure safely lit pathways with unobtrusive lighting. Staff notes that the existing language for residential districts is being utilized in the General Standards below.] .. .. (c) -- (1) Light fixtures. Light fixtures shall be installed in such a manner that the source of light does not shine directly into adiacent residential districts, as provided below: (2) a. Freestanding light poles. Freestanding light poles located within 100 feet of a residential zoning district or the residential portion of a PUD or PCD shall be a cutoff luminaire, or equivalent, with a maximum angle of 90 demees (see Figure 1). GRAPHIC L1NK:Figure 1 6 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 7 of 16 (3j b. House shields. House shields, or equivalent, shall be required for all fixtures located within 25 feet of a residential district. @ c. Flood lights and security lighting. Flood lights, security lighting, or similar equipment, whether or not wall-mounted, shall not be directed toward any residential district. (2) Glare. Off-site light spillover shall not produce a glare which creates a safety or traffic hazard. (3) Landscaping. Conflict between landscaping and lighting installations shall be minimized or eliminated. Light fixtures shall not be installed in parking lots where the location or future height of existing or proposed trees or other landscaping will obscure the operation of the linht fixture. (4) Canopy lighting. Canopy light fixtures, such as service station lighting, shall be aimed downward and shall be fully recessed or fully shielded so as to ensure that the light fixture is not visible from public rights-of-way or adiacent properties and does not cause glare. All light emitted by an under-canopy fixture shall be substantially confined to the mound surface directly beneath the perimeter of the canopy. As an alternative to recessed lighting:. indirect lighting may be used when light is directed upward and then reflected down from the underside of the canopy. In this case, light fixtures shall be shielded so that direct illumination is focused exclusivelv on the underside of the canopy. No lighting shall be permitted on the top or sides of the canopy, excluding internally-illuminated signs. (5) Flag Poles. A flag pole may be illuminated by fully-shielded spotlight light fixture or fixtures which shall not create off-site glare or light spillover above the limits established in Table 1. The light fixture(s) shall be placed as close to the base of the flag pole as possible. [Staff comment: Currently, Section 78-1 82(c) has a general regulation concerning light trespass. Staff proposes the addition of several new general lighting regulations including the illumination of flag poles, canopies, and the resolution of conflict between landscaping and lighting. Also, a modified regulation pertaining to glare has been added. Section 78-182(c) (l), “lighting and fixtures”, reiterates previous regulations and refers to standards in the proposed Table 1 .] Jd) Building and accent lighting. (1) Lighting of buildings. All exterior lighting of buildings, including entry, facade, security, and accent lighting shall conform to the requirements provided below: a. Permitted lightinp. Exterior lighting may be used to illuminate a building and its mounds for safety purposes, so long as the lighting is done in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the overall 7 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 8 of 16 surroundings. b. Compatibility. Lighting shall be installed in a manner that is compatible with the neighborhood and adi acent development. c. Fixtures. All fixtures used in exterior building lighting are to be selected for functional and aesthetic value. Light fixtures shall not be directly beamed toward adiacent properties and pedestrian areas. d. Accent lighting for nonresidential, multi-family. and mixed-use buildings. Accent lighting of a building facade for architectural, aesthetic, or decorative purposes is permitted subject to the following restrictions: 1. All upward-aimed lights shall be fully shielded fiom proiecting into the sky by eaves, roofs, or overhangs. 2. Strings of lights or other similar accent lighting may be installed on trees and landscaping and on buildings following the form of and iust below the roofline provided: i. Strings of lights shall not be suspended horizontally between any buildings, walls, fences, trees, or shrubs. ii. Strings of lipht shall contain only low wattage clear bulbs (less than 100 lumens) without interior or exterior frosting, colors, or reflectors. 3. Lighting of artwork shall be approved by city council as part of the Art in Public Places approval. 4. Integration with form. Lighting following the form of the building or part of the building, unless otherwise permitted in this section, shall only be permitted by approval of an administrative petition. Single-family residential homes shall be exempt from the requirement for the approval by the city for accent uplighting, so long as the lighting does not create adverse light spillover or glare on adiacent residential properties or rights-of-way. (2’1 Exemptions. [Staff comment: Section 78-182(d) is currently the existing general regulations, which is a single reference to light trespass. Since these regulations are included in the proposed Section 78-182(b), this section can be used for regulations strengthening building lighting regulations. Staff utilized accent lighting regulations from the Town of Jupiter Code of Ordinances as well as clarifying existing regulations, such as Section 78(d)l a, b and c, entitled “permitted lighting”,” compatibility” and “fixtures”. Staff notes the language in “fixtures”, which states that building and accent lighting shall not be directly beamed toward adjacent properties and pedestrian areas. Staff proposes a modification to the current “integration with form” language, which allows applicants to apply for an administrative petition in order for staff to determine if accent lighting following the form of the building is garish or detrimental to the surrounding area. Currently, the City Code does not have a process for the approval or rejection of building lighting. A new regulation is proposed for accent lighting, which will allow string of lights that are installed on landscaping or following the form of and just below the roofline, provided the string of lights are not suspended over gaps and contain low wattage clear bulbs. Staff notes that a definition for accent lighting has been added.] 8 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 9 of 16 (e) Seasonal Lighting. (1) Nonresidential, multi-family, and mixed-use zoning districts. The installation of seasonal exterior lighting shall not exceed 90 days during a calendar year and shall not be suspended horizontally between any buildings, walls, fences, trees, or shrubs. (2) Single-family residential zoning districts. Seasonal exterior lighting shall not be illuminated in excess of a total of 90 days during a calendar year. [Staff comment: Currently, Section 78-1 82(e) contains regulations pertaining to general standards. The general standard that does not allow glare has been relocated to Section 78-182(c) and the standards regulating the height of the fixtures is relocated to Section 78-182(b). The purpose of the proposed language is to separate regulations regarding seasonal lighting from accent lighting. Staff proposes the installation of seasonal lighting in nonresidential districts not exceed 90 days and are not suspended horizontally between any buildings, walls, fences, trees or shrubs. Illumination of seasonal lighting on residential properties shall not exceed 90 days. Staff notes that a definition for seasonal lighting has been added to the lighting regulations.] [fl Lighting Plans. Plans for illumination ofbuildings and liphtinn zones shall be submitted at the time a building permit is submitted or as otherwise required herein. Lighting plans shall comply with the standards listed below: J1) Design. Plans shall be prepared and sealed by an engineer registered in the State (2) Plans. Lighting plan or plans, including photometric plans, shall include the of Florida. following information: a. Overall site plan. b.

Light fixture data, including height, manufacturer, wattage, and lighting type. i. All plans shall be certified by a registered architect or engineer as providing illumination in accordance with the applicable minimum standards set forth in this section and that subsequent construction will comply with the approved lighting plan. k. Lighting installation shall not be placed in permanent use until a letter of compliance from a registered professional engineer has been provided stating that the installation has been field checked and meets the specification set forth on the approved photometric plan. [Staff comment: Currently, Section 78-128(f) set light intensity standards in parking lots. These foot-candle standards will be located in the proposed Table 1. Staff notes that the proposed lighting zone in Table 1 treats parking and vehicular areas similarly. Staff proposes that the existing Section 78-128(h), entitled “plans required” be titled “Lighting Plans” and relocated to this section. Staff is proposing to keep the existing language concerning the photometric plans required, while adding a new requirement for photometric plans to address lighting fixtures in conflict with existing or proposed landscaping. Staff is also adding language pertaining to certification, which will ensure all plans will be certified that the construction of the site will comply with the approved lighting plan and that the lighting installation will be field checked and meets the specifications set forth on the approved photometric plan. Staff notes that a definition of photometric plans has been added to the lighting regulations.] 10 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 11 of 16 &) Method ofmeasurement. The light meter sensor shall be read at ground level or the established made in a horizontal position. Readings shall be taken only after the light source has been exposed long enough to provide a constant reading. Measurements shall be taken after dark with the light sources to be measured on and subsequently off. The difference of the two readings shall be compared to the permitted illumination level for each lighting zone. [Staff comment: Currently, Section 78-1 28(g) is the lighting of buildings regulations that staff proposes to be included with accent lighting in Section 78-128(e) and add a “method of measurement” for lighting regulations. Staff proposes to add the language to aid code enforcement if a code violation is ever cited using the foot-candle standards. The method of measurement is the same language in the Town of Jupiter Code of Ordinances, which is applicable because the City of Palm Beach Gardens utilizes the same measurement standards in foot-candles, and is briefly described in the existing regulations in Section 78-128(f). Staff notes that a light meter will need to be purchased and will address this future need in the budget.] 11 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 12 of 16 fh) Security lighting. In order to utilize Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. security lighting shall be required on all nonresidential, multi-family residential. and mixed-use developments and in certain common areas of single-family developments. Security lightinn may not produce glare or off-site light spillover above the maximum limits set forth in Table 1. (1) Open parking lots, parking garages, loading zones, and access roads and paths in nonresidential, multi-family residential, and mixed-use developments shall maintain a lighting level at least 50 percent of the minimum averape lighting requirements set forth in Table 1 from dusk to dawn or outside of normal business hours. J2) Security lighting installations shall include timers, dimmers, and/or sensors to reduce the overall energy consumption and eliminate unneeded lighting. J3) Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) shall at all times, maintain the following security lighting: a. There shall be a minimum of ten (10) foot-candles of lighting intensity at the face of the ATM and extending in an unobstructed direction outward 5 feet. b. There shall be a minimum of 2 foot-candles of lighting intensity within 50 feet in all unobstructed directions from the face of the ATM. If the ATM is located within 10 feet of the comer of the building and the ATM is generally accessible from the adjacent side, there shall be a minimum of 2 foot- candles of lighting intensity along the first 40 unobstructed feet of the adiacent side of the buildinn. c. There shall be a minimum of 2 foot-candles of lightinp intensity in that portion of the defined parkinR area within 60 feet of the ATM. [Staff comment: Currently, Section 78- 128(h) contains the “plans required” section, which is relocated to Section 78-182(f). In its place, staff proposes to add regulations concerning security lighting. Security lighting is meant to mandate a low level of light in certain locations on non- residential, mixed use and multi-family housing sites. Staff proposes to allow the Growth Management Director to determine lighting standards for lighting that may require CPTED principles or IESNA practices that require brighter luminance than typically allowed by code. These should be limited to security areas, such as building entry, ATMs, and after hour loading zones. In no case should the lighting create glare or off site spillage above the maximum allowed in the proposed lighting regulations.] 12 Date prepared: July 20,2006 Meeting Date: July 25,2006 Petition: LDRA-06-06-000006 Ordinance 26,2006 Page 13 of 16 (( .. .. .. ..

Street lighting shall be required to meet the public and private street lighting standards set forth in Table 1 for all streets within and adiacent to the private development. unless the applicant adequately addresses security through an alternative means during the development review process. [Staff comments: Currently, staff is proposing to separate and relocate to the existing “seasonal and accent lighting regulations” to sections 78-128(d) and (e). In its place, staff recommends changes to Section 78-128(j) that require street lighting in the City’s Parkway system and along private streets, unless they adequately address security. This is an issue for private and public right-of-ways along the Parkway system. Because it is not currently required, the lighting of the Parkway has not been fully addressed.] Ji) Prohibited Lighting. The following tvpes of permanent outdoor light fixtures are prohibited: (1 ) Mercury vapor lamps. (2) Blinking. flashinp moving, revolving, flickering, changing color or intensity, and (3) Any light fixture that may be confused with or construed as a traffic control (4) Any upward-oriented lighting unless otherwise provided for in this section.

[Staff comment: Staff is proposing a new section that addresses non-conforming lighting and provides a method by which they must conform to the proposed regulations. Staff proposes that major redevelopment of the site (over 50% of the accessed value of the total structure or structures) or replacement of a majority of the lighting fixtures (over 50% of the accessed value of the total lighting on site) constitute a necessity to comply with the code. Also, if exterior lighting is severely under lit or creates glare, the owner of the property must work with staff to bring the site lighting to safer levels.] [l) Approval process-for lighting.

[Staff comment: The purpose of the text change is to update and clarify the existing regulations. In Section 78-1 82(b), language only appropriate to the section are defined. Staff proposes modifying and adding definitions for new language contained in this code revision. Specifically, definitions for existing language such as “accent lighting”, “foot-candle”, “photometric plans”, and “seasonal lighting” are proposed. In addition, staff has defined new terms, including “lighting zones”, “IESNA”, “IESNA recommended practices” and “security lighting”. Because “Luminaire” is an uncommon term, staff proposes to replace it with “light fixture”, which is also used elsewhere in the section. Light trespass has been replaced with “light spillover”, for similar reasons.] STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of petition LDR-06-06-000006. 16 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 IO 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Date Prepared: July 11, 2006 ORDINANCE 26,2006 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA RELATED TO ILLUMINATION OF ORDINANCES, ENTITLED “LIGHTING REGULATIONS; AMENDING “DEFINITIONS”; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The hotel complex was expanded in 1997, when the entire 13.46 acre site was rezoned to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) under Ordinance 14, 1997. The 13.46 acre site became known as the DoubleTree Planned Unit Development (DoubleTree PUD). Today the southern 7.96 acres are developed with a DoubleTree Hotel, while the northern 5.5 acres remains vacant. As part of the overall PUD amendment, the vacant 5.5 acres (also known as DoubleTree North) was approved on May 4,2000 through the adoption of Ordinance 10,2000 to include 25,000 square feet of retail space and 8,115 square feet of restaurant space. Since 2000, several amendments have been requested for the northern portion of the DoubleTree PUD. The most recent amendment application was filed in December 2005 and requested that the site plan for the DoubleTree North site be separated from the site plan for the DoubleTree Hotel site in order to create a separate PUD on the northern 5.5 acres. The applicant proposed that the newly created PUD include a 12,900 square foot drug store with two drive-through lanes, and a 140,000 square foot air-conditioned self storage facility. Consistent with Ordinance 6,2005, this application also requested approval of a major conditional use to allow the self-storage facility. Since December 2005, the applicant has worked with the City to resolve several issues surrounding the applicant's proposed amendment. The issues included the uses permitted in the PGA Overlay Corridor, the desire to provide the minimum required parking on each proposed separate PUD without utilizing a shared parking agreement or reconfiguring the parcel lines, and the desire for a unified signage program on both proposed PUDs. When the amendment application was submitted in December 2005, self-storage facilities and drive- thru lanes associated with drug stores were not permitted uses in the PGA Boulevard Overlay Corridor, in which the site is located. The City is currently discussing a staff-proposed text amendment to the PGA Boulevard Overlay Corridor that would allow self-storage facilities as long as they are hnctionally-oriented away from PGA Boulevard, and that would allow drive-thru lanes associated with drug stores as long as the lanes do not face PGA Boulevard.

Waivers As a Planned Unit Development, the applicant is permitted to request waivers. The applicant is requesting the following waivers with this petition. Several of the waivers were previously granted for this site with the approval of Ordinance 14, 1997 and/or Ordinance 10,2000. Section 76-344 to allow for the parking spaces 9.5' wide, 16' long with 2.5' overhang.

Please note that we are providing 35% open space on the site, which is more than double the 15% open space required by code. The standard parking space is 10 feet wide by 18.5 feet long. The DoubleTree Hotel portion of the site previously received a waiver of parking stall dimensions with Ordinance 14, 1997, which was reaffirmed with Ordinance 10, 2000, to allow a portion of the parking stalls on that portion of the site to have a width of 9 feet. The following are the calculations indicating additional open space area provided through the reduction of the parking spaces within the DoubleTree North site. 183 reduced parking spaces x 9.25 square feet (reduction of paved area per parking space) = 1,692.75 square feet 1,692.75 square feet of total reduced paved area x 1.5 code required ratio = 2,539.3 8 square feet or 0.058 acres of required additional open space. The additional 0.058 acres of open space required for the reduction of the parking space dimension is located within the plaza in front of the proposed drug store. Section 78-345 of the City Code - Waiver to allow parking in excess of 10% of the City Code 0 allowance. The applicant is requesting a waiver for the DoubleTree North portion of the site to allow parking in excess of 10% of the City Code Allowance. The entire DoubleTree site requires 476 parking spaces, which an excess of 10% is 524 spaces. 526 spaces are being provided. The following are the calculations indicating additional open space area provided for the excess parking spaces above 1 10% of the required parking. 9.5 feet x 18.5 feet x 2 excess parking spaces = 35 1.5 square feet 9.5 feet x 25 feet (for excess drive aisle) = 237.5 square feet Square feet of total excess pavement = 589.0 square feet 589.0 square feet of total excess pavement x 1.5 code required ratio = 883.5square feet or 0.020 acres of required additional open space.

The City Code requires a 55-foot special yard buffer along Military Trail north of PGA Boulevard. Currently, the DoubleTree Hotel portion of the site has a negligible buffer between its existing parking lot and the Military Trail right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to increase that buffer in the DoubleTree North portion of the site to a 1 5-foot wide buffer with a three-foot berm landscaped with oak trees. The bermed frontage area will comprise approximately half of the DoubleTree North's Military Tail frontage. The other half of the DoubleTree North portion of the site's Military Trail frontage will comprise of 0.56 acre upland preserve. Furthermore, as agreed as part of Ordinance 10,2000, the applicant is providing off-site landscaping at the 1-95 off ramp onto Military Trail. The applicant is also exceeding the landscape points required for the DoubleTree North site. The waiver request is for the buffer along 1-95 is also a continuation of the waiver granted with Ordinance 14, 1997 and reaffirmed with Ordinance 10,2000. The City Code requires a 25 foot buffer along 1-95. The existing parking lot on the DoubleTree Hotel site is within five feet of the 1-95 right-of-way. The applicant was proposing to continue that parking lot, and the existing buffer, for approximately 50 feet to allow for the creation parking spaces and a drive aisle. At the request of the DRC, the applicant has removed seven proposed parking spaces in this area to allow for a continuos minimum buffer of 18 feet on the DoubleTree North site. It should be noted that the currently approved site plan for the northern portion of the site only provided 8 feet of buffer width along the 1-95 right-of-way. Because 1-95 is elevated as it parallels the subject site, it is difficult for motorists to view the site. However, despite this, the applicant is proposing to provide plantings within the 1-95 right-of-way along the subject property. Further, the applicant is providing a one foot high heavily landscaped berm on the DoubleTree North portion of the site along the property's 1-95 boundary in order to mitigate the effects of the reduced buffer. In addition, there will be a landscape buffer between the parking lot and the dry detention area, which will create a second line of landscape buffer for the site from 1-95. 0 Section 78-145, Table 12, of the City Code - Wavier to allow for an increase in the overall building height to 65'"'' from the permitted 36'. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow the height of the building to exceed the 36 foot/two story limitation and to allow a 65'-0"/five-story self-storage building. The design of the structures incorporates many of the design elements included in the City's suggested Design Guidelines for Non-residential Development, which enhances the aesthetic value of the structures. Further, these architectural details, which include several hip roof features, Bahama shutters, faux windows, metal railings, bandings, and several vertical and horizontal breaks in the architecture of the building, provide visual interest and help to reduce the perceived mass and G:Uobs\Doubletree NorthVUD Amendment 4 - March 2006\Submitted PlansUuly 6,2006WrojectNarrative 7-6-06.wpd LCC35 Project Narrative DoubleTree North PUD July 6,2006 Page 13 height of the building. It should also be noted that although the applicant is requesting to go from two to five stories (an increase of three stories), the proposed building height is more reflective of a three and a half story building (an increase of only 1 ?4 stories). This is a result of the lesser floor to ceiling ratio utilized by self-storage facilities. Moreover, the height of the proposed self- storage building is consistent with or lower than the height of many of the existing buildings within the city’s 1-95 corridor. If fact the DoubleTree Hotel received a height waiver to allow a 92 foot tall building. The proposed buildings are also consistent with other buildings in the City that have a similar high profile location. The site plan and the architecture have been designed to minimize the effects of the development of this site on the surrounding properties. By consolidating the square footage into taller structures, less lot coverage is required and more open space can be provided. The design of the site plan has taken into account the conflicting relationship of 1-95 and the overpass to the existing DoubleTree Hotel. The overall design of the site plan was a challenge due to the parcels unusual configuration, however, we believe that the redesign of the existing parking areas for the hotel and the addition of the proposed new development accomplishes a relationship that will benefit both portions of the site. Section 78-285 Table 24 - Waiver to allow Three (3) Tenant Identification Signs (24 inch letters) on the proposed drug store. Section 78-285 Table 24 - Waiver to allow Two (2) Tenant Identification Signs (24 inch letters) and One (1) Building Identification Sign (36 inch letters) on the proposed Self- Storage Building, all to be located above the second floor. Both of the buildings proposed for the DoubleTree North portion of the site will be occupied by a single tenant; therefore, per the City Sign Code, each building is permitted one sign, whether it be a building identification or tenant identification sign. The City Sign Code does not provide a height restriction for the placement of building identification and/or tenant identification signs; however, City staff has stated that City Council made the determination that building identification signs and/or tenant identification signs can not be placed higher than the second floor of a building. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow more than one building identification signs and/or tenant identification signs for the self-storage building and for the drug store. The applicant is also requesting a waiver from the limitations on the height of the building identification sign and/or tenant identification sign for the self-storage building only. The applicant is requesting a wavier to allow three (3) tenant identification signs on the drug store, one on the west elevation (facing Military Trail), one on the south elevation, and one on the east elevation (facing 1-95 to the northeast).

The two (2) tenant identification signs will be located on the west elevation (facing Military Trail) and on the south elevation. The one (1) building identification sign will be located on the east elevation (facing 1-95). The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow proposed building signage for the self-storage building to be placed on the fifth floor. Southeast comer of I- 95 and PGA Blvd. The northern portion of the PUD is a 5.5 acre infill property, located in the "triangle" created by 1-95 and Military Trail. This configuration provides for various challenges to achieving the most efficient use of the site and also results in reduced visibility of any buildings located on the site. In order to maintain safe vehicular movements and good communication with the public, it is important that the building signs be visible. The intent of the city sign code is " to facilitate an easy and pleasant communication between people and their environment". The intent of the requested waivers is to provide easy identification for the building and its retail tenants. The signage requested by the applicant creates building identity and corporate image and for buildings that sit at a major intersection in the City. Although the buildings are at a major intersection, the visibility is blocked by the DoubleTree Hotel and encumbered by the elevated I- 95 overpass. Furthermore, the proposed locations of the requested signs are consistent with several buildings (i.e. Admiralty 11, Sun-Trust Bank, Embassy Suites) in the surrounding area, as well as several other buildings in the City of Palm Beach Gardens that have the principal tenant wall signs on the top floor. Such signs were approved through waivers or variances.

A Comprehensive Plan / Future Land Use amendment designating the site as Mixed Use. A rezoning to assign the property a Mixed Use (MXD) zoning designation with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay. (*A site plan is also being submitted for review as per the requirements of the PUD submittal.) Property History & Site Characteristics The 10.00-acre subject property is located at the northwest corner of Hood Road and Alternate A-1-A. The subject property is currently located within unincorporated Palm Beach County and is surrounded on all four sides by the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The subject property currently retains a Palm Beach County Zoning designation of Agricultural ResidentiaVSpecial Exception (AR/SE) and a Future Land Use designation of Medium Residential-5 (MR-5). The site is currently occupied by a campground/RV facility as allowed per special exception granted by Palm Beach County on April 4,1978. Nature of Proposed Project The proposed project is a redevelopment project that seeks to enhance the value of the site to the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding residents. The site is an enclave, surrounded by the City on all sides. The result is that the site impacts the City’s infrastructure yet remains outside of its control. This isolated condition is generally undesirable. This application seeks to resolve this condition through the annexation of the site. The existing RV Park on the site is an inefficient use, creating a generally transient nature and lacking the site amenities generally called for within the City’s Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan. In an effort to meet the needs of the surrounding community the project proposes a multi- use development that would provide a variety of benefits to the community. The project features an innovative landscape design, internal parking, a variety of pedestrian amenities and abundant landscaping. 0 Land Use/Comdiance and Zoning Desiqnations 2101 Centrepark West Drive, Suite 100 1 West Palm Beach, Florida 33409 I 561-478-8501 FAX 561-478-5012 1100 St. Lucie West Blvd., Suite 103A I Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986 I 772-871-7778 FAX 772-871-9992 The 10.00-acre subject property is located at the northwest corner of Alternate AIA & Hood Road. The current zoning designation is Agricultural ResidentiaVSpecial Exception (ARISE). The proposed zoning designation of MXD with a PUD overlay is consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use designation of MXD. 0 To the north and west of the subject property is Evergrene PUD, which retains a zoning designation of Planned Community District Overlay (PCD) and a Future Land Use designation of Residential Medium (RM). The proposed mixed-use development will be designed in such a manner that it will be consistent with the character of the adjacent development. To the south on the opposite side of Hood Road is the Seacoast Utility Authority Water Treatment Plant, which has a zoning designation of Publicilnstitutional (PA) and a Future Land Use designation of Public (P). The required parkway buffer on the south side of the subject property coupled with the Hood Road right-of-way will allow for a development that is adequately buffered from the water treatment plant. To the east of the subject property on the opposite side of Alternate A-1-A is Frenchmen’s Reserve PUD, which has a zoning designation of Planned Development Area (PDA) and a Future Land Use designation of Residential Low (RL). The proposed mixed-use development will be designed in such a manner that it will be consistent with the character of the adjacent development. Access The sole vehicular ingress/egress for the subject site will be at the southwest corner of the subject site, along Hood Road. The existing median cut will allow for a left-turn entrance only into the site. A right turn lane ingress lane has also been provided for on the plan. An 8’ wide pedestrian pathway is located as part of an overall 17’ pedestrian access easement in the 55’ corridor buffer along Hood Road. Pedestrian paths exist throughout the site linking additional amenities such as plazas and arcades. Bicycle parking is dispersed on the site to encourage non-motorized utilization of the site. Vehicular Parkinq The proposed vehicular parking for the site is appropriately dispersed throughout the site. The Site Plan submitted with this application provides a breakdown of required and provided vehicular parking for residential high, neighborhood commercial and employment center uses. As the proposed site plan is providing complementary uses within the mixed use portion of the site, the applicant has chosen to provide a shared parking study in accordance with Code Section 78-346. The shared parking study shows a peak demand for 124 parking spaces for the mixed use portion of the site, the proposed site plan is providing 140 parking spaces. Bicycle Parkinq The Final Site Plans for the parcel provide a breakdown of required and provided bicycle parking for residential, neighborhood commercial and employment center uses. The proposed development satisfies the minimum required number of bicycle parking spaces. ImDact on Surroundina Properties The development program for this site is intended to provide needed services and amenities to the surrounding neighborhoods. The layout of the site is intended to eliminate any negative impact on the adjacent properties. In addition to the buffering that exists on the neighboring parcels, the site provides internal buffers on all sides. 0 Frenchman’s Crossing Page 2 of 12 June 2,2006 A 55’ parkway buffer is provided as required along Hood Road to further the intent of the City’s Parkway Overlay District. The northern boundary of the subject site provides a 10’ landscape buffer and the western boundary provides a 15’ landscape buffer. On the eastern border of the site a canal runs the length of the property and the minimum set back from the property line on this side is 149’. Land Development Regulations The stated intent of the Palm Beach Gardens Land Development Regulations are to: “Guide and encourage the orderly and beneficial development of future growth and development consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.” By annexing the subject property, the City will be able to insure that the property will adhere to this goal. The City’s Land Development Regulations also require the City to “Protect and enhance the aesthetics and character of all parts of the city“, and ”Protect and conserve the value of land, buildings and improvements and minimize conflicts among uses of land and buildings.’’ The quality and design of the project will greatly enhance the aesthetics of this neighborhood. The opportunities and uses provided, combined with the nature of the development, is certain to enhance the value of the surrounding land, buildings and improvements. Planned Unit DeveloDment Requlations The project is seeking a zoning designation of MXD with a Planned Unit Development Overlay. The stated purpose and intent of the PUD overlay district as stated within the Palm Beach Gardens Land Development Regulations is as follows: (a) Purpose and intent. The PUD planned unit development overlay district is established to permit and encourage more efficient and creative development or redevelopment of property; to encourage an economical and efficient arrangement of buildings; to provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative concepts of development in the creation of aesthetically-pleasing living, shopping and working environments on properties of adequate size, shape and location; to preserve the natural amenities and environmental assets of the land by encouraging the preservation and improvement of scenic and functional open areas; to provide architectural and design features which are aesthetically pleasing and supportive of an enhanced quality of life; provide one or more specifically- identifiable benefits to city residents; and to ensure that development occurs according to limitations of use, design, density, coverage, and planning as stipulated in an approved development plan. The PUD district is a flexible zoning district, which is intended to provide an appropriate balance between the intensity of development and the ability to provide adequate capacity within the support service and facilities. The proposed development responds directly to the intent of the PUD. The effort to redevelop this parcel in a manner that is both efficient and aesthetically pleasing is the basis for the project. The density and site arrangement were designed in an effort to enhance the quality of life for the surrounding residents. The site provides an opportunity for living, working and shopping in the same location, effectively serving the community’s needs while not impairing the City’s ability to provide adequate support services and facilities to its residents. As required by the PUD overlay, the applicant will be requesting an underlying zoning designation of Mixed Use. The proposed uses on the site will be governed by this designation. The applicant is seeking a Mixed Used Future Land Use designation, consistent with the requested Mixed Use zoning. @ Frenchman’s Crossing Page 3 of 12 June 2,2006 Mixed Use Zonins Desiqnation The following section of the Palm Beach Gardens Land Development Code gives the purpose and intent of the Mixed Use zoning designation. Sec. 78-157. Mixed use planned unit development overlay district. (a) Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of the mixed use planned unit development district (MXD) are to encourage infill and redevelopment opportunities through the vertical and horizontal integration of complementary residential and nonresidential uses. The proposed redevelopment project combines both residential and nonresidential units through a system of both vertical and horizontal integration. The project seeks to further the intent of this district by providing a well defined sense of place, limiting the potential for sprawl and adding amenities for pedestrian use. The inclusion of the pedestrian paths will allow residents to walk to the project from the surrounding communities. Additionally, by providing for multiple uses that serve the neighborhood and community, the number and length of vehicular trips in the area will be reduced. Parkway Overlay District The Palm Beach Gardens Parkway Overlay District was created to accomplish a variety of objectives. These objectives include: preserve the urban beauty though landscape requirements, provide residents with a safe and aesthetic multiuse pathway system, and provide a buffer between designated roadways and the adjacent development. The proposed project will assist the City in achieving these goals. The site plan features a 55- foot corridor buffer along the property's Hood Road frontage. This buffer will include substantial landscaping throughout, a meandering multi-use pathway that links the Hood Road right-of-way with the site in multiple locations, and a location for public art. This landscaped area will contribute to the cohesiveness of the natural corridor along Hood Road. Art in Public Places The City of Palm Beach Gardens Chapter 78-261 of the Land Development Regulations details the creation of an Arts Advisory board and the requirements for new developments to provide art in public places. The proposed site plan has reserved a prominent position on the property upon which to site a public artwork. The location is featured at the central pedestrian plaza, adjacent to the pedestrian path along Hood Road. The developer will coordinate with the City to assure that the requirements for the purchase and maintenance of the public art is met. a. Visibility: The proposed public art location will be visible to both internal and external pedestrian and vehicular traffic. b. Planning Integration: Again, all public art locations are highly visible and serve as integral components of the proposed development. c.

Land Development Regulation Compliance: MXD/PUD Overlay District The purpose of this request is for the rezoning of the subject property from the Palm Beach County AWSE designation to the City of Palm Beach Gardens MXD/PUD overlay district. According to LDR Sections 78-154 and 78-157, an MXD/PUD zoned property must satisfy the following requirements: 0 b. c. d. e. J: Purpose and Intent: The proposed 72 dwelling units coupled with the proposed mixed used buildings will aid in the redevelopment of the subject site. The site design is pedestrian oriented and intended to internalize trips. The site layout will allow for the proposed residents to utilize services provided on the subject site, thus reducing the impact on City infrastructure. Definitions: The proposed mixed-use development fosters a pedestrian oriented design with ground level retail uses that connect to an 8-foot wide sidewalk within parkway corridor easements adjacent to Hood Road. Land Use: The proposed Future Land Use designation for the subject property is MXD. Rezoning: This submittal includes requests for an MXD zoning district with a PUD Overlay. MXD General Development Standards: The proposed MXD also includes a request for the required PUD overlay district. As previously discussed, the proposed development incorporates interconnected pedestrian circulation systems between multiple uses and the City’s Parkway System. In addition, the proposed MXD contains frontage on a minimum of one (1) arterial road as defined by the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Residential MXD lntensity Measures and Special Definitions: The following tables provide a breakdown of required and proposed land uses, building heights, land allocation, and lot coverage. MXD Lot Coveraae Neighborhood Commercial Maximum: 70% Proposed: 9.67% Maximum: 50% Proposed: 24.71 % Employment Center Residential High Frenchman’s Crossing Page 5 of 12 June 2,2006 Maximum: 70% Proposed: 1 1.57% MXD Land Allocation Open Space Neighborhood Commercial Minimum: 15% (I .5 acres) Proposed: 15% (1.5 acres) Minimum: 2% (0.2 acres) Maximum: 30% (3.0 acres) Proposed: 15.5% (I 55 acres) Minimum: 20% (2.0 acres) Maximum: 60% (6.0 acres) Proposed: 60% (6.0 acres) Minimum: 2% (0.2 acres) Maximum: 30% (3.0 acres) Proposed: 9.5% (0.95 acres) Residential High Employment Center Requested Waivers The following table provides a breakdown of requested waivers. Per LDR Section 78-154, a development with a PUD overlay may request waivers from specified property development regulations in an effort to encourage creative and innovative design.

The petitioner is requesting a reduction in buffer width to provide a 15’ foot landscape buffer on the eastern property boundary. The proposed buffer maintains a minimum 15’ width with the exception of one 22’ section of the buffer that is reduced in width to 8’ to accommodate the existing water management easement. As shown on the proposed site plan, directly east of the proposed landscape buffer is a 100’-125’ canal easement within the subject property, just east of the canal easement is the railroad right of way. As the proposed developments landscape buffer is located adjacent to 100’ or greater of canal open space which provides additional buffer space from the railroad right of way, the applicant is requesting a waiver to reduce the required landscape buffer to 8’-15’ in width. Waiver Request #2: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver for buildings C, D, E, and F from LDR Section 78-314(d), which requires one street tree per single-family/duplex residence within the road right-of-way or within 15’ of the property line. The proposed townhome development utilizes private access drives rather than rights-of-way, as such, there is not space provided within the roadway to accommodate street trees. In addition, buildings C, D, E, and F, are “rear-loaded” and do not have private yard space to provide the street trees required in this section of the Code. Street trees will be provided in the front yard space of units A, B, GI and H. Although this section of the Code refers to single-family/duplex residences, the petitioner has been instructed to request a waiver, as the proposed townhomes will be sold as fee-simple units. The petitioner is requesting a waiver from this requirement. Waiver Request #3: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-141 I which defines the minimum lot width permitted in an RH zoning district. The current Code requirement does not account for fee-simple townhome units, thus requiring this waiver request. The present Code requirement is a minimum of a 90’ wide unit. The petitioner is proposing a 22’ wide unit; therefore a 68’ reduction from this requirement is being requested. Waiver Request #4: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-141 which defines the maximum lot coverage permitted in an RH zoning district. The current Code requirement does not account for fee-simple townhome units, thus requiring this waiver request. The Code requirement is a 35% maximum lot coverage; however this is contradictory to the 50% maximum lot coverage requirement in Table 18 of Section 157. The petitioner is proposing 63% maximum lot coverage for the proposed townhome lots. Frenchman’s Crossing Page 7 of 12 June 2,2006 Waiver Request #5: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-141, which defines the minimum front setback required in an RH zoning district. The current Code requirement does not account for fee-simple townhome units, thus requiring this waiver request. The present Code requirement is a 46’ setback; the petitioner is proposing a 18.5” setback. Waiver Request #6; The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-141, which defines the minimum side setback required in an RH zoning district. The current Code requirement does not account for fee-simple townhome units, thus requiring this waiver request. The present Code requirement is a 36’ setback; the petitioner is proposing a 0’ setback. The 0’ side setback is necessary to accommodate fee-simple units that share a common wall. Waiver Request #7: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-141, which defines the minimum rear setback required in an RH zoning district. The current Code requirement does not account for fee-simple townhome units, thus requiring this waiver request. The present Code requirement is a 36’ setback; the petitioner is proposing a 5’ setback. The proposed setback will allow for a 5’ pavered apron adjacent to the rear of the units. Waiver Request #8: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-320(A)(1), which requires foundation planting to be located within ten feet of all commercial building facades. The petitioner is requesting a waiver from this section of the Code in order to provide an alternative landscaping option. The proposal is to provide 5’ of foundation planting adjacent to the fapde, an 8’ sidewalk, and finally another 5’ of planting. The proposed landscaping will provide for a more visually appealing design for this fapde. Waiver Request #9: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-1 57(h)(5)(d), which requires sidewalks 8’ in width throughout an entire MXD development. The current plan provides a mix of 5’ and 8’ sidewalks throughout the development, with 8’ sidewalks being provided in high traffic areas, and 5’ sidewalks provided in areas of less pedestrian traffic. As such, the petitioner is requesting a deviation from those sidewalks that are only 5’ in width. Waiver Request #7 0: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from LDR Section 78-157(f) which requires that twenty (20) percent of the proposed dwelling units be vertically integrated with a mixed use. This would require a total of fourteen (14) dwelling units to be vertically integrated. The current site plan is proposing to integrate ten (10) residential units, as such the petitioner is requesting a waiver for the resulting four units. Waiver Request #7 7: The Petitioner is requesting a Waiver from the LDR Section 78-344 (Figure 15), which requires one wheel stop to be provided in every non-parallel parking space. Per meetings with Palm Beach Gardens, City staff has indicated they would prefer a lO’xl6’ parking space with a 2.5’ overhang area. As such, the Petitioner is requesting a waiver from the wheel stop requirement. Frenchman’s Crossing Page 8 of 12 June 2,2006 Compliance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan The proposed project will further the goals of the city to improve the quality of life of all of its residents. The site will comply with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and will meet or exceed the performance requirements defined by the Comprehensive Plan. 0 Future Land Use Element The Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan states the following minimum criteria for sites designated as Mixed Use developments: 1. An MXD shall be developed as a Planned Commundy District or a Planned Unit Development. However, land development regulations adopted to implement this Comprehensive Plan shall maintain mixed-use supplemental regulations to provide further criteria for the development of sites with MXD Future Land Use designations, including parking requirements, permiffed uses, setbacks and other considerations. The proposed development will abide by the land development regulations for Planned Unit Development as part of the site plan approval process. 2. MXDs shall have frontage on at least one arterial. The City’s Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan shall be accommodated to expand the roadway network through the provision of new local streets, which serve new neighborhoods in the City’s developing areas. The subject property has frontage on Hood Road, which is an arterial roadway. 3. MXDs shall include a minimum of two (2) of the other Future Land Use Categories described in this element. Residential must be one of these uses, unless it is determined by the City Council that the proposed development meets the criteria below established to waive the residential requirement. No single use may comprise more than 60% of the area. Recognizing that mixed use projects have varying characteristics, intensity measures are indicated below which provide flexibility in terms of minimum and maximum land allocations. These intensity measures apply only within MXD projects. The City Council may waive the maximum nonresidential height limit for employment center buildings located at the intersection of two arterials. The proposed amendment site contains three of the Future Land Use categories described in the Future Land Use Element: RecreatiodOpen Space, Residential High, and Commercial. Of these categories, none are in excess of the 60% threshold requirement. 3B. General Mixed Use Future Land Use Category Intensity Measures for Residential MXDs. The following chart reflects the requirements of this section of the Code as well as our proposal for each of the categories. MXD Lot Coveraqe Neighborhood Commercial Maximum: 70% Frenchman’s Crossing Page 9 of 12 June 2,2006 Proposed: 9.67% Residential High Maximum: 50% Proposed: 24.71 % Employment Center Maximum: 70% Proposed: 1 1.57% MXD Land Allocation Open Space Minimum: 15% (1.5 acres) Proposed: 15% (1.5 acres) Minimum: 2% (0.2 acres) Maximum: 30% (3.0 acres) Proposed: 15.5% (1 55 acres) Minimum: 20% (2.0 acres) Maximum: 60% (6.0 acres) Proposed: 60% (6.0 acres) Minimum: 2% (0.2 acres) Maximum: 30% (3.0 acres) Proposed: 9.5% (0.95 acres) Neighborhood Commercial Residential High Employment Center The proposed development meets all of the above referenced criteria and has land allocations of 15% Open Space, 60% Residential High, 15.50% Neighborhood Commercial, and 9.50% Employment Center. Preservation of Natural Resources The site is currently sparsely vegetated. The majority of the site is taken up by the improvements related to the RV Park. As noted in the Environmental Assessment the existing vegetation is scattered throughout the site and does not feature any existing habitats. The proposed site plan features open space as well as a heavily landscaped corridor buffer along Hood Road. Transportation Element The transportation element of the Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan states the following goal: The transportation system in Palm Beach Gardens shall be convenient, safe and efficient for all persons living in and traveling through the City. The proposed project will in no way adversely affect the City’s ability to meet this goal. The traffic study submitted as part of the application package reflects the ability to maintain adequate level of service on the surrounding roads. In addition pedestrian linkages, bicycle parking will be provided on the site to promote non-motorized transportation. @ Housins Element Frenchman’s Crossing Page 10 of 12 June 2,2006 The Housing Element of the Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan states the following * goal: The provision of an adequate mix of safe and sanitary housing which meets the needs of existing and future Palm Beach Gardens Residents. The proposed project is a Mixed Use project which provides for both horizontally and vertically integrated housing units. Currently, sixty-two (62) townhouse units are being proposed in addition to ten (IO) vertically integrated lofts within the mixed use buildings fronting on Hood Road. This unique arrangement provides an alternative housing type that allows for reduced commuting and trip generation within the site. Infrastructure Element The Infrastructure Element of the Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan states the following goals: Provide adequate central sanitary sewage facilities for residents and commercial development in the city. Provide access to solid waste management and disposal facilities for the City of Palm Beach Gardens through the planning period of the year 2075. Provide adequate city-wide drainage and stormwater management for all property in the city The provision of a safe, healthy and dependable potable water supply to all residents and businesses in the city. Increase groundwater recharge where practicable. The proposed project has received concurrency certification. The project will in no way adversely affect the City’s ability to meet the above stated goals. Stormwater management will be contained within the site and is detailed in the projects drainage statement. Coastal Manaaement Element The projects site is not located within the coastal region of Palm Beach Gardens and as such will in no way hinder the City’s ability to meet the goals and objectives of its Coastal Management Element with the Comprehensive Plan. Conservation Element The Conservation Element of the PBG Comprehensive Plan states the following goal: The natural resource of the City of Palm Beach Gardens shall be preserved or managed in a manner which maximizes their protection, functions, and values. An Environmental Assessment report has been submitted as part of this application package. The report details the existing conditions on the property. Because the site is a redevelopment project, the natural resources of the City will not be affected. Recreation and Open Space Element The Recreation and Open Space Element of the PBG Comprehensive Plan states the following goal: 0 Frenchman’s Crossing Page 11 of 12 June 2,2006 Adequate recreation and open space facilities and areas offering a broad range of activities, convenient access, appropriate improvements, and sound management shall be provided to all citizens of Palm Beach Gardens with active and passive recreation opportunities in the interests of personal health, entertainment, and constructive use of leisure time. The regulations for this site do not provide any required specifications for recreational uses on the site. Standard impact fees resulting from the site’s development will be paid, as required by the City. lnterqovernmental Coordination Element The Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the PBG Comprehensive Plan states the following goal: Establish effective coordination measures among all pertinent public and quasi-public entities so to best maintain Palm Beach Gardens’ quality of life and efficient use of resources. The project will not negatively affect the ability of Palm Beach Gardens to meet the stated goal of establishing effective coordination among government entities. CaDital Improvement Element The Capital Improvement Element of the PBG Comprehensive Plan states the following goal: Palm Beach Gardens shall undertake actions necessary to adequately provide needed public facilities to all residents within its jurisdiction so as to protect investments in existing facilities, maximize the use of existing facilities, and promote orderly, compact development. The project site is currently surrounded by Palm Beach Gardens. Any travel to or from the site currently impacts the City’s infrastructure. By annexing it, and assigning a Palm Beach Gardens zoning and land use designations, the City can assure that orderly, compact development is maintained on the site.

Subject Property: Mobile Home Park Surrounding Property I North I Evergrene (Residential Medium) I West 1 Evergrene (Residential Medium) 3. A narrative which summarizes: a. The maximum allowable development under the existing designation for the site; The subject property has a Palm Beach County Future Land Use designation of Medium Residential 5 (maximum five dwelling units per acre). In accordance with Table 2.1-1 of the Future Land Use Element of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan, the subject site would only be allowed to develop at the maximum density as a Planned Development or if it were deemed infill pursuant to Policy 1.2.2-a of the Plan. In accordance with the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, the subject site does not meet the minimum size of twelve acres to be developed as a Planned Development. Furthermore, to our knowledge a formal determination has not been made with regard to infill development as outlined in Policy 1.2.2-a of the Plan. If the subject site were deemed infill by the Palm Beach County Planning Department, the maximum density of five dwelling units per acre would be permissible. Therefore, the +/-1 0.0-acre site could be developed with 50 dwelling units. However, if the County were to make a negative determination with regard to infill coupled with the fact that the subject site does not meet the minimum PUD acreage, only the standard density of four dwelling units per acre could be applied. In this latter case, a maximum of 40 dwelling units would be possible. 2101 Centrepark West Drive, Suite 100 I West Palm Beach, Florida 33409 I 561-478-8501 FAX 561-478-5012 1100 St. Lucie West Blvd., Suite 202 I Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986 I 772-871-7778 FAX 772-871-9992 b. The maximum allowable development under the proposed designation for the site. The proposed Future Land Use Plan designation for the +/-10.0-acre site is Mixed Use (MXD). The proposed zoning designation for the +/-10.0-acre property is Mixed Use Development (MXD) with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay. Based upon the maximum land allocation and maximum lot coverage depicted in Policy 1.1.1.3,B of the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see Item 3B below), the maximum development potential would be 189,050.4 square feet Neighborhood Commercial, 115,869.6 square feet Employment Center, and 72 multifamily residential units. The applicant reserves the right to have less than the above at the time of site plan approval. c. A description of the proposed use and information on its compatibility with the surrounding area. The applicant intends to develop a mixed-use development, which will incorporate residential, retail and office uses. To the north and west of the subject property is Evergrene PUD, which has a zoning designation of Planned Community District Overlay (PCD) and a Future Land Use designation of Residential Medium (RM). The proposed mixed-use development will be designed in such a manner that it is consistent with the character of the adjacent development. To the south, on the opposite side of Hood Road, is the Seacoast Utility Authority Water Treatment Plant, which has a zoning designation of PublicDnstitutional (PD) and a Future Land Use designation of Public (P). The required parkway buffer on the south side of the subject property coupled with the Hood Road right-of-way will allow for a development that is consistent with the existing water treatment plant. To the east of the subject property, on the opposite side of Alternate A-1-A, is Frenchman’s Reserve PUD, which has a zoning designation of Planned Development Area (PDA) and a Future Land Use designation of Residential Low (RL). The proposed mixed-use development will be designed in such a manner that it is consistent with the character of the adjacent development. 4. A statement of justification or reason for the proposed land use amendment, which is based on the physical characteristics of the site, the impact on public facilities and services, and the policies of the City. The proposed amendment site is located at the northwest corner of Hood Road and Alternate A-1-A. The subject property currently has a Palm Beach County Land Frenchman’s Crossing CPA Application Page 2 of 13 February 28,2006 Use designation of Medium Residential 5 (up to 5 dwelling units per acre). The applicant is requesting a Mixed Use (MXD) Future Land Use designation, concurrent with an Annexation application. The parcel has frontage along Hood Road and is bounded on the east property line by the F.E.C. railroad and the EPB-3 canal. The Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan states the following minimum criteria for sites designated as Mixed Use developments. 1. 2. 3. An MXD shall be developed as a Planned Community District or a Planned Unit Development. However, land development regulations adopted to implement this Comprehensive Plan shall maintain mixed-use supplemental regulations to provide further criteria for the development of sites with UXD Future Land Use designations, including parking requirements, permitted uses, setbacks and other considerations. The developer shall abide by the land development regulations for Planned Unit Development as part of the site plan approval process. MXDs shall havefiontage on at least one arterial. The City’s Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan shall be accommodated to expand the roadway network through the provision of new local streets which serve new neighborhoods in the City’s developing areas. The subject property has frontage on one arterial-Hood Road. Mms shall include a minimum of two (2) of the other Future Land Use Categories described in this element. Residential must be one of these uses, unless it is determined by the City Council that the proposed development meets the criteria below established to waive the residential requirement. No single use may comprise more than 60% of the area. Recognizing that mixed use projects have varying characteristics, intensity measures are indicated below which provide flexibility in terms of minimum and maximum land allocations. These intensity measures apply only within MXDprojects. The City Council may waive the maximum nonresidential height limit for employment center buildings located at the intersection of two arterials.

Attn: Brad Wiseman, Senior Planner 10500 N. Military Trail Palm Beach Gardens, F1.33410 Ref: PGA Commons-Building Form Lights As requested by Ms. Lindsay Shulenberger from Urban Design Studio, I performed a site evaluation at the above referenced site on Thursday evening, July 6~, 2006. The evaluation performed was to confirm the lighting impact of the form lighting permanently installed on the exterior of the retail buildings and on the surrounding environment, mostly on the adjacent PGA Blvd. My first and immediate observation was that the building form lights were not the only lighting in the above complex. There are multiple levels of lighting already present such as HID pole mounted pathway lighting, exterior HID store entrance, security and building facade lighting, under canopy fluorescent lighting, permanent incandescent holiday tree lighting, landscape up- lighting and parking lot lighting. All mentioned lighting is illuminating this area along with the contribution of the interior lighting from all the restaurants and retail stores to the walkway paths. With all the levels of lighting present, it was difficult to target an area with only the holiday lighting so I could effectively measure the light levels at multiple distances from the building. The only area that I was able to achieve the readings was at the west side corner of the far west building, Spoto’s Oyster Bar. This corner is facing the parking lot and with me standing in the parking lot, I could shield the parking lot lighting. At this location the light readings were performed as follows: 5’ away from the building (roof line lighting) 10’ away from the building 15’ Away from the building .2FC .12FC .07FC (Note: The light meter used in this study is Greenlee Model# 93-1065) As a comparison, I performed a light reading from one of the pathway lighting poles (closest light source to PGA Blvd.) and the light level at the pole was 2.24FC. I then performed a light reading next to the PGA roadway in line with the pole mounted pathway light source and all other existing light sources and the light level at the PGA roadwa was-.2FC. h OF P&M 6CH GDNS 6 *. I checked into the manufacturer of the form lights and found out that the bulbs are incandescent 5 W bulbs, spaced 12” apart. Incandescent lighting is the same type of lighting used in homes and does not generate any glare and therefore is safe to the drivers passing by the PGA Blvd. In addition the HID lighting (High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide) and fluorescent lighting that is utilized in pathway, building, parking lot and canopy lighting of the shops in the PGA Commons have much higher intensity and lumens than the building form lights and therefore over shadow these decorative lightings. My other important observation on night of July 6* was that there is not any lighting in PGA Blvd. adjacent to the PGA Commons and therefore, there is a sharp contrast between the total darkness of the roadway in comparison to the adjacent shops and buildings at night. If there was lighting in PGA Blvd., then it would take away some of the driver’s attention from the lighting on the side of the road to the illuminated roadway. Based on the above observations, I do not believe that addition of the building form lights will provide any significant impact on the lighting levels for this project. Sincerely kj AWI
