SUBJECT: Changes to Christ Fellowship Development Plans for November 3, 2005,
City Council meeting
At its October 6, 2005, meeting, the City Couiicil held a public hearing (the “Public
Hearing”) to review the proposed expansion of the Christ Fellowship North Campus.
During the Public Hearing, the applicant offered to reduce the square footage of the
proposed expansion by approximately 20%, or 31,000 square feet. The Council
directed the Applicant to submit revised development plans that include such a
reduction and continued the Public Hearing to November 3, 2005. Revised
development plans were submitted to the Growth Management Department on October
21 , 2005. Attorneys for the Hunt Club and Northilake Neighborhood Coalition, Inc. have
been notified of the submittal of the revised plains. The revised plans have also been
posted on the City’s website.
The purpose of this memorandum is to (1) outline the changes to the development
plans made by the applicant since the Public Hearing; and (2) present staffs proposed
changes to the conditions of approval presented at the Public Hearing in order to
address concerns raised by the City Council and new issues that have arisen. Attached
to this memorandum are (1) the agenda item for the subject petition as was presented
to the City Council at the Public Hearing; and (2) the revised development plans.
Modifications to development plans
The Applicant is proposing the following changes to the development plans previously
reviewed by the City Council:
e3 The net square footage of the proposed expansion to the North Campus has
been reduced by 31,472 square feet, from 159,180 square feet to 127,708
square feet. This amounts to a reduction of 19.8% from the square footage
previously proposed.

*$. The previously proposed 41,675 square foot Family Life Building (Phase 3 on the
previously proposed plan) that included the indoor gymnasium has been
removed from the plan. The previously proposed Phase 2 Building has been
increased by 5,703 square feet, and an (additional 4,500 square foot foyer has
been added between existing buildings A and B. In its previously proposed
location, the applicant is proposing (1) an1 outdoor garden enclosed on all sides
by a six-foot wall; (2) a courtyard and entry area into the Youth Department from
the east, which is screened from the residents to the north by a decorative
masonry wall and heavy landscaping; and (3) a new plaza and drop-off area
adjacent to the southeast corner of the new Phase 2 building.
*:* The architecture of the Phase 2 building was modified due to the removal of the
Phase 3 building and the redesign of the new entry into Phase 2 from the east.
The proposed architecture continues the modern theme previously proposed for
the north and south elevation of the building. Staff is satisfied with the proposed
architecture.
*:* The distance between the Phase 2 building and the existing Sanctuary (Building
“C”) has increased from approximately 30 feet to approximately 57 feet in order
to reduce the visual mass of the buildings. Hardscaped plazas and additional
landscaping have been provided in this area.
6 Additional hardscaping has been added tcl the south side of the Phase 2 building.
9 A small parking area immediately southeast of the Phase 2 building has been
reconfig u red.
*:* The Youth Department area of the Phase 2 building has been reconfigured.
*:* The existing wooden fence surrounding thle play area on the west side of existing
Building B has been replaced with a five (!5) foot-high masonry wall.
*:* The number of parking spaces proposed has been reduced by 18, from 1,884 to
1,866. (Note: The number of parking spaces proposed is beyond that permitted
by the City’s LDRs. This is discussed in the following section of this
memorandum.)

Mayor and Council
October 26,2005

Additional Waiver
Section 78-345(d)(I) of the City’s LDRs, entitled Increase of parking spaces allowed,
allows an increase in the amount of parking spaces provided on a site not to exceed ten
percent (10%) of that required for the site. The reduction in square footage of the
proposed expansion from 159,180 square feel to 127,708 square feet results in a
parking requirement of 1,659 spaces. Under the previous proposal, the required
parking for the entire site was 1,845. The Applicant would be permitted to provide up to
1,825 parking spaces on site without having to request a waiver. The Applicant is
proposing 1,866 spaces, 41 more than permitted by the LDRs, and 207 more than
required by the LDRs. The Applicant has stated that the additional parking is needed to
serve the members of the Church.
Due to the fact that 58% of the parking provided is grassed parking (1,088 spaces), and
the fact that the applicant has met the criteria established in LDR Section 78-345(d)(4),
entitled Standards for additional parking spaces, staff recommends APPROVAL of the
waiver request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The subject petition involves a request by Christ Fellowship Church (the “Church”) for the
following:
1) An amendment to the Christ Fellowship North Campus Planned Unit Development (PUD)
to allow the incorporation of the 20 acres of land lying immediately east of the existing
North Campus into the PUD to facilitate the development of a 159,180 square-foot
expansion to the North Campus.
(Staffis recommending APPRO VAL of this request with conditions and waivers.)
2) A Conditional Use for the expanded Christ Fellowship North Campus
Churches are allowed in residential zoning districts as Conditional Uses. Staff has
compared the expansion of the existing Christ Fellowship Church against the City’s
Conditional Use criteria found in Section 78-52 of the City’s LDRs and determined that it is
consistent therewith (please see “Conditional Use Analysis ”).
(Stafis recommending APPROVAL of this request.)
*****
NOTE: It is important to note that, prior to Second Reading for the subject petition, the applicant
had requested the following:
*:* The deletion of certain conditions of approval previously imposed on the North Campus
relating to (1) outdoor sound amplification; (2) the number of fixed seats in the Sanctuary;
(3) utilizing other buildings as overflow for sermons conducted in the Sanctuary; (4)
simultaneous broadcasts of sermons conducted in the Sanctuary; and (5) the number of
special events allowed per year.
The applicant has withdrawn this portion of the request from the application. However,
staff is proposing certain modifications to previously imposed conditions of approval, as
well as several new conditions, in an effort protect the quality of life of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
*:* The deletion of certain conditions of approval previously imposed on the South Campus
relating to (1) simultaneous broadcasts of sermons to this site; and (2) the operation of a
shuttle bus between the North and South Campus.
The applicant has withdrawn this portion of the request from the application. However,
staff is proposing certain modifications to previously imposed conditions of approval, as

BACKGROUND
The Christ Fellowship Church Campus is comprised of two (2) sites located opposite each other
along Northlake Boulevard west of Military Trail.
South Campus
The “South Campus” (5.41 acres; south side of Northlake Boulevard) was originally approved as a
conditional use for a 300-seat sanctuary and day-care facility through the adoption of Ordinance 30,
1990. The adopted ordinance and
resolution were subsequently amended by Resolution 13, 199 1 ; Resolution 4, 1997; Ordinance 34,
1999; Resolution 86, 1999; and Resolution 5,2000 providing for, among other things, an increase in
the number of seats within the sanctuary, temporary modular units, infrastructure improvements,
and further restrictions on the operation of the site. Currently, the maximum number of seats
allowed on the South Campus stands at 576 permanent seats (per Ordinance 34, 1999).
Resolution 13, 1991 provided site plan approval therefor.
North Campus
The Chst Fellowship North Campus Planned Unit Development (PUD) (19.87 acres; north side of
Northlake Boulevard) (the “North Campus”) was approved through the adoption of Ordinance 20,
1997 providing for the construction of an 85,200 square-foot religious facility comprised of a 1,750-
seat sanctuary and two (2) ancillary buildings (Buildings A and B). The applicant was granted no
waivers as part of the original PUD approval, as the project met all applicable code requirements in
effect at the time. Subsequent amendments to this approval have included five (5) administrative
amendments and an amending ordinance (Ordinance 23, 1999) allowing for minor architectural and
site plan changes to the site and providing further restrictions upon the operation of the site.
Although the City’s LDRs at the time of original approval required churches located within a
residential zoning district to be approved as a Conditional Use, the original development order for
the North Campus was approved only as a PUD with an underlying zoning of Residential Low
Density-3 (RL3). The vacant land upon which the North Campus is located had a Planned
Development Area (PDA) zoning designation prior to the rezoning. At the time of the original PUD
approval, the LDRs required that all lands with a PDA zoning designation rezone to either PUD or a
Planned Community District (PCD). The PUD rezoning was considered to be a sufficient “legal
equivalent” to a Conditional Use by the City staff at the time so as not to also require a separate
Conditional Use approval. Also at that time, there were no additional standards in the LDRs for
churches within a residential zoning district. Thus, churches could be approved as a Conditional
Use within a residential zoning district regardless of the size thereof or number of seats. Upon the
adoption of the current Land Development Regulations in July of 2000, churches with sanctuary
seating in excess of 1,000 seats were restricted to industrial and commercial zoning districts only.
Previously Imposed Conditions of Approval
(a) The original conditions of approval
Several conditions of approval were placed on the original approvals of both the South Campus and
the North Campus PUD (the “Campuses”) and subsequent amendments to address neighborhood
concerns that the use was too intense for the residential character of the neighborhood. The limits

Meeting Date: October 6,2005
Ordinance l8,2005/Resolution 83,2005
Ordinance 19,2005/Resolution 84,2005
placed upon the operations of the church were expressly intended to preserve the residential
character of the surrounding community. The applicant accepted all conditions at the time of the
original approval of the Campuses, as well as additional conditions placed on subsequent
amendments.
(b) Petition to amend original conditions of approval.
On April 11, 2001, the applicant submitted a petition requesting several amendments to certain
conditions of approval regarding the operational procedures and activities on the Campuses.
During the City Council meetings at which this petition was discussed, it was made known that
Christ Fellowship Church (the “Church”) intended to purchase the 20-acre parcel of land lying
immediately east of the North Campus (the “East 20 Acres”) for expansion of the Church’s
facilities. The petition was last heard at the September 4, 2002, City Council meeting, at which
time the City Council requested that the petition be postponed until such time when the Church
submits a complete development application including the development of the East 20 Acres.
(c) Proposed additional development of East 20 Acres
In January of 2003, the applicant submitted an application for the development of the East 20 Acres;
however, the development plans submitted at that time depicted only building footprints, square
footages, conceptual floor plans, and the layout of the surrounding parking areas and drive isles. No
architectural elevations or final floor plans were provided. It was staffs professional opinion at that
time that the application for the East 20 Acres must include complete site and elevation plans in
order to conduct a complete and thorough review of the application. Consequently, in March 2003,
staff brought this issue to a workshop meeting before the City Council. The Council supported
staffs position that the petition to amend the conditions of approval would not move forward until
such time when a complete development application for the East 20 Acres was brought before the
City Council.
Since that time, the applicant has submitted several revisions to the development plans, traffic
impact analysis and associated documents based on staffs review comments. The application for
the development of the East 20 Acres was reviewed by the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board at
a workshop and a public hearing (please see the “Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board” section of
this report) independent of the petition to amend the conditions of approval, as said petition was
previously reviewed by the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (referred to at the time as the
“Planning and Zoning Commission”) at its November 13, 2001 meeting, and the Board
recommended approval of the proposed amendments by a vote of 6-1.
NORTH CAMPUS EXPANSION AND CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL
The subject petition involves a request to rezone the property to incorporate the East 20 Acres into
the PUD in order to allow the development of a 159,180 square-foot expansion to the North
Campus, and to allow a Conditional Use approval for the entire North Campus. The East 20 Acres
will retain a Residential Low Density-3 underlying zoning designation with a PUD Overlay,
consistent with the existing North Campus (Note: the South Campus has a Conditional Use Overlay
with a Residential Low Density-1 (RL1) underlying zoning designation and is not a part of the
approved PUD). The entire 40-acre North Campus PUD will include an underlying Conditional
Use approval consistent with the requirements of the LDRs.

AMENDMENT TO SOUTH CAMPUS
As previously stated, prior to Second Reading for the subject petition, the applicant had requested
the deletion of certain conditions of approval on the South Campus. The applicant has withdrawn
this portion of the request from the application. However, staff is proposing certain modifications
to previously imposed conditions of approval, as well as new conditions, in an effort protect the
quality of life of the surrounding neighborhoods (please see attached Resolution 84, 2005).
LAND USE & ZONING
The existing North Campus has a Residential Low Density-3 (RL-3) underlying zoning designation
with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay and a land-use designation of Residential Low
(RL). The East 20 Acres has a Planned Development Area (PDA) zoning designation and a land-
use designation of Residential Low (RL).

CONCURRENCY
On July 16, 2004, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division issued a letter affirming that the
proposed North Campus expansion meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County
subject to the following condition: “Conversion of the existing westbound right-turn lane to a
shared througwright lane at the intersection of Northlake Boulevard and Military Trail” (please see
attached traffic concurrency approval letter from the PBC Traffic Division). The Palm Beach
County traffic concurrency approval permits a 160,000 square-foot addition to the existing 85,200
square-foot North Campus and the 21,000 square-foot South Campus and establishes a build-out
date of December 3 1 , 2006, for the proposed improvements.
The City’s traffic consultant, MTP Group, Inc. (the “Traffic Consultant”) also reviewed the subject

petition and found it to be in compliance with the City of Palm Beach Gardens Traffic Performance
Standards subject to the aforesaid condition imposed by the County. Other recommendations made
by the Traffic Consultant to mitigate the impact of the traffic generated by the proposed
improvements include:
(a) The Sunday service shall be moved from 11:45 a.m. to 12:OO noon. The required time
between services may be modified by the Growth Management Administrator as necessary
to improve traffic operations.
(b) Traffic circulation on site shall be in accordance with the Traffic Operation Plan (attached)
provided in the traffic impact analysis for the project on file with the City’s Growth
Management Department. Said traffic plan may be amended by the City’s Police Chief
andor City Engineer as appropriate for traffic operations.
(c) The applicant shall, with trained personnel, monitor traffic conditions at the driveways as
well as internal traffic circulation to minimize traffic impact to Northlake Boulevard.
PROJECT DETAILS
The subject petition involves a request to rezone the East 20 Acres to incorporate it into the North
Campus PUD and to allow the development of a 159,180 square-foot expansion to the North
Campus. The proposed expansion will consist of three (3) phases of construction (site plans
depicting all three (3) stages of construction have been included in the Council’s packet):
Phase I will include primarily site work, including paving, grading and drainage, as well as site
lighting and landscaping, all of which will tie in with the existing North Campus. The required
utilities for the future Phase I1 and I11 buildings will be stubbed-out into the building pad areas
at approximate locations on-site. All grassed and asphalt parking areas and drive isles will be
completed. A new main entry drive off of Northlake Boulevard will be constructed to align
with the existing median cut for the South Campus. A westbound deceleration, right-turn lane is
also being proposed. The area upon which the future buildings will be constructed will be
sodded until construction commences on Phases I1 and 111. Also included in Phase I is the
enclosure of an existing covered patio on the northwest corner of the existing Building B. The
architecture of the enclosed patio will match the existing building and the additional square
footage has been accounted for in the project’s traffic concurrency approval.
Phase I1 will consist of the construction of a two (2) story, 115,683 square-foot building that
will accommodate a “youth ministqdmultipurpose” room, a “commons” area, a “choir suite,” a
kitchen, several “ministry training” rooms, a “youth department,” and a significant amount of
office space.
Phase I11 will consist of a two (2) story, 41,675 square-foot building that will accommodate a
gymnasium with an indoor track, as well as ancillary office and recreation areas.
(Note: Please see the attached letter from the applicant containing detailed information as to the
types of activities taking place within the new buildings.)
Site Design
The proposed design of the East 20 Acres mirrors the design of the existing North Campus. The

Meeting Date: October 6,2005
Ordinance I8,2005/Resolution 83,2005
Ordinance I9,2005/Resolution 84,2005
proposed buildings have been positioned directly east of existing structures (Buildings A, B and C)
so as to continue the campus-like setting for the site. The existing structures will be connected to
the new buildings through the use of covered walkways and an interior building connection. The
pickup/dropoff area has been relocated from the east side of existing Building A to two (2) separate
areas: the front (south side) of the Phase I1 building and the east side of the Phase 111 building. The
existing parking layout surrounding the buildings, which includes both paved and grassed parking,
has been continued on the East 20 Acres. The site contains a three-isle-wide access drive
surrounding the buildings and a majority of the parking that will assist in moving vehicles into,
through and out of the property. Two (2) additional loading spaces have been placed within a
loading area on the south (front) side of the Phase I1 building adjacent to the kitchen. The loading
area has been screened from view by a wall that matches the color and style of the adjacent
buildings.
The proposed buildings are set back approximately 500 feet from Northlake Boulevard, 290 feet
from the east property line, and 500 feet from the north property line, all of which are consistent
with the requirements of the LDRs for the proposed RL-3 underlying zoning district. The applicant
is proposing an overall building lot coverage of 12.64% of the site; the LDRs limit lot coverage to
35% of the site.
Traffic Circulation
As part of the Traffic Consultant’s review of the project’s conformance with the City’s Traffic
Performance Standards, the applicant was required to submit a traffic operation plan identifying the
traffic circulation during the peak hours of the Church’s operation. The Traffic Consultant, City
Engineer, Police Department and Growth Management Department have worked in conjunction to
modify the submitted traffic operation plan in order to improve traffic flow into and out of the site,
as well as along Northlake Boulevard. The applicant has submitted a revised traffic operation plan
in accordance with the recommendations made by staff. The approving resolution requires the
applicant to adhere to the traffic operation plan once it is approved by the City and provides the
City’s Police Chief and/or City Engineer the authority to amend the plan in the future as appropriate
for traffic operations.
Staff has also requested that the applicant apply to the County to install a traffic signal at the
easternmost entrance to the North Campus to improve traffic flow at peak times of the Church’s
operations. During off-peak times, the signal will be a flashing yellow for traffic along Northlake
and a flashing red for the traffic utilizing the campuses. A condition of approval relating to the
same has been included in the approving resolution.
Architecture
The proposed architecture is generally consistent with the existing North Campus architecture in
many aspects (ie. building colors, standing seam metal roofs, roof pitches, roof color, stucco
banding, decorative columns, etc.). However, the newly proposed architecture exhibits more
variety than the existing structures. The applicant has included a mix of flat and pitched roofs,
several tower features, including a 56-foot tall “prayer tower” feature, an art deco-type building
parapet on the north elevation, porches and covered walkways throughout, two (2) new porte-
cocheres, and decorative columns. It is staffs opinion that the horizontal and vertical massing
provided by the applicant helps soften the appearance of the size and mass of the proposed

Meeting Date: October 6,2005
Ordinance 18,2005/Resolution 83,2005
Ordinance 19,2005/Resolution 84,2005
buildings.
The maximum mean height of the structures, excluding the prayer tower, has been increased from
36 feet to 38’-10” since the PZAB Workshop. The maximum height of buildings within a
Residential Low Density-3 (RL3) zoning district is 36 feet. The applicant has met with Board
member Hansen, who pointed out that the colored elevation renderings did not match the hard-line
(CADD) architectural drawings. In particular, Mr. Hansen noted that he preferred the roofline of
the Commons/Student Ministry Building as depicted in the colored elevations over that depicted in
the CADD drawing. To address this comment, the applicant has revised architectural plans to
create a larger roof mass on the Commons/Student Ministry building. This modification increases
the mean roof height of the building to 38’-10”. While in keeping with the scale, context and
setbacks of the building, the proposed height requires an additional waiver. The applicant has
requested a waiver to allow the Commons/Student Ministry Building at a height of 38’-10”. This
waiver is further discussed in the “Waivers” section of this report.
LandscapindBu ffering
The proposed landscaping on the East 20 Acres will be a continuation of the landscape theme on the
existing North Campus.
Landscaping: Royal Palms will line the new easternmost entrance and will be scattered throughout
the southernmost (front) parking area and along landscape areas adjacent to the south facade of the
new buildings. Mahogany, Laurel Oak, East Palatka Holly, Live Oak, Yellow and Pink Tabebula,
Crepe Myrtle, Cabbage Palm, Washington Palm, Florida Slash Pine and various Ornamental species
comprise the proposed landscape palette for the East 20 Acres.
Buffering: The applicant is proposing an approximately 75-foot landscape buffer with a berm along
Northlake Boulevard, to include amongst other species Live Oak, Mahogany, Cypress, Florida
Slash Pine, and Cabbage Palm. This buffer has been designed to be consistent with the existing
North Campus buffer along Northlake Boulevard, which in staffs opinion provides substantial
screening of the site from Northlake Boulevard. An eight (8) foot wide landscape buffer is being
proposed along the east property line. An approximately 80 foot wide of open space is proposed
along the north property line adjacent to the Hunt Club residential development, including a dry
detention area and a six (6) foot high wall across the entire length of the northern boundary of the
North Campus. At the request of staff, the applicant has added a significant amount of landscaping
to the existing northernmost open space area on the North Campus adjacent to Hunt Club and will
continue this landscape theme along the entire northern border.
Utilitv Lines Along Northlake Boulevard
The location of the existing power lines along the Northlake Boulevard frontage of the North
Campus is in conflict with the mature trees within the North Campus buffer. Thus, the utility
companies regularly “cut back” the trees simificantlv to eliminate any contact with the power lines.
To avoid this in the future, staff is requesting that the applicant place the power lines underground
along the entire North Campus frontage along Northlake Boulevard.
Section 78-5 10 of the City’s LDR’s entitled Utilities, states that all new, reconstructed, or relocated
utilities installed within a subdivision or any development, including but not limited to electric,

Ordinance I9,2005/Resolution 84,2005
telephone, and cable television, shall be placed underground. As part of the development of the
North Campus, the applicant will be installing a new right-hand turn lane into the easternmost
entrance to the North Campus. Staff has requested that the applicant install a right-hand turn lane
onto Hunt Club Drive. The construction of these turn lanes will require the relocation of the
existing utility lines along Northlake. The LDRs require these relocated utility lines to be placed
underground. Staff has included a condition of approval requiring the power lines along the entire
length of the North Campus to be placed underground.
Drainage
The applicant has provided a letter (attached) from the project engineer explaining in detail the
design of the drainage system that will accommodate the proposed improvements. The City
Engineer has reviewed the proposed drainage system and has no outstanding concerns relating to
the same.
Parkinz
Based on the requirements of Section 78-345 of the City’s Land Development Regulations,
Churches and Places of Worship require one (1) space for every three (3) seats, plus one (1) space
for every 250 square feet of office use, plus required parking for additional uses. Due to the fact
that both the existing and the proposed buildings contain a significant amount of space that cannot
be classified into either of the above categories (areas containing a certain amount of seating or
office space), staff has utilized the parking ratio for “Cultural, Entertainment, and Recreational,”
which requires one (1) space for every 200 square feet. Based on the above calculations, the
required number of parking spaces on the entire 40-acre site is 1,845 spaces. The applicant has
provided a total of 1,884 parking spaces on site; 1,086 grassed parking spaces (discussed below)
and 798 paved parking spaces.
Grassed parking: The existing North Campus has a significant number of grassed parking spaces
that are utilized only during peak demand. The applicant is proposing to continue the mix of paved
and grassed parking for the East 20 Acres in order to reduce the amount of paved area on site.
Section 78-372 of the City’s LDRs contains several criteria that must be satisfied in order to utilize
grassed parking. The applicant has provided the necessary documentation to the satisfaction of staff
and the City Engineer that demonstrates compliance with said criteria.
The 777 grassed parking spaces on the northernmost portion of the plan are being proposed at 9.5
feet wide. The City’s LDRs require that parking spaces be a minimum of 10 feet in width. The
applicant has requested a waiver from said requirement that is discussed in the “Waivers” section of
this report.
The proposed number of grassed parking spaces relative to the number of required parking spaces is
inconsistent with one (1) of the additional standards for Churches and Places of Worship found in
Section 78-1596) of the City’s LDRs. This section limits the number of grassed parking spaces to a
maximum of 50% of the total number of required spaces on site. The applicant is required to
provide a total of 1,845 parking spaces on site; the applicant is proposing 1,086 grassed parking
spaces (59% of required parking). The applicant has requested a waiver from said requirement that
is discussed in the “Waivers” section of this report.

Signage
The applicant is proposing two (2) additional monument signs to be located on both sides of the
new easternmost entrance, for a total of four (4) signs on site. The signs will be consistent with the
design and dimensions of the two (2) existing signs at the North Campus. The 40-acre site has
adequate street frontage to allow for a total of four (4) monument signs. The proposed signs are in
compliance with the LDRs.
Lightinx
The applicant has provided a photometric plan that is in compliance with the requirements of the
LDRs. The light poles within the grassed areas will be protected from vehicle encroachment
through the use of wheelstops.
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR CHURCHES AND PLACES OF WORSHIP
Section 78-1 59(j)(49) of the City’s LDRs (attached), entitled Additional standards (for Churches
and Places of Worship), contains standards with which Churches and Places of Worship must
comply. Subsection b. thereof states that such use with more than 1,000 permanent seats or
approved capacity may be located as a Conditional Use in the following districts: CG-1, CG-2, P/I,
M1, M1A and M2. At the time that the existing North Campus was approved by the City, Churches
and Places of Worship were permitted in all residential zoning districts as a Conditional Use
regardless of the number of seats. The development order for the existing North Campus limits the
number of seats within the sanctuary to 1,750 seats and prohibits the existing Buildings A and B
from being used as overflow areas or for supplemental seating for presentations, programs, or
sermons conducted in the sanctuary.
Section 78-159(j)(49) of the LDRs also list typical uses that are associated with churches and places
of worship:
1. Sanctuaries, assembly halls, or similar large meeting rooms where religious services are
held;
2. Community centers or fellowship halls, which may be the site of religious services, but also
used for community, athletic, fraternal, social, civic, charitable, and recreational programs;
3. Offices utilized for administrative purposes related to the operation of the church or place of
worship;
4. Religious merchandise or merchandise related to the operation of the house of worship may
be sold in an accessory retail facility;
5. Playgrounds and athletic fields; and
6. Rectory or similar residence for religious officials, limited to one (1) per place of worship.
The current requirements of the LDRs do not limit the size of the ancillary uses within a church, but
only limit the number of seats in the sanctuary.
OTHER RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE CITY
The following table identifies the religious institutions within the City and their corresponding
square footage, number of seats within each sanctuary, and approval status as conditional uses.

containing 2,400 seats, which has not yet been constructed. The existing sanctuary building
contains 497 seats and the existing square footage is estimated at approximately 100,000 square
feet.
CONDITIONAL USE ANALYSIS
Section 78- 1 59 of the City’s Land Development Regulations, entitled Permitted uses, conditional,
and prohibited uses, requires that Churches and Places of Worship be approved as a Conditional
Use within the Residential Low Density-3 (RL3) zoning district.
Staff has compared the expansion of the existing Christ Fellowship Church against the City’s
Conditional Use criteria found in Section 78-52 of the City’s LDRs. The conditional use analysis
demonstrates that (1) the requested expansion of the ancillary uses, in staffs opinion, is incidental
and subordinate to the principal sanctuary use and is thereby consistent with provisions of the
LDRs; and (2) the development plans and the conditions placed upon the operation of the Church
by staff both have been designed and structured such that the proposed expansion of the use
complies with the City’s Conditional Use Criteria established in Section 78-52 of the LDRs.

1. Waiver from Section 78-3 15(b) of the City’s LDRs entitled Landscape Islands, to allow for
more than nine (9) parking spaces in a row without the inclusion of a landscape island. Said
section requires at least one (1) landscape diamond for every nine parking spaces.
Applicant’s Justification: In lieu of providing a landscape island every nine (9) spaces, the
applicant has provided a five (5) foot-wide strip of landscaping adjacent to (in front of) all
paved parking spaces, with the exception of those adjacent to the sidewalks surrounding the
buildings where the applicant has satisfied the requirement for a landscape diamond every
nine (9) spaces (please see attached landscape plan). This design is consistent with the
existing North Campus and provides a significant amount of landscaped area within the
paved parking areas. Further, the applicant has met the requirement of having a shade tree
within 40 feet of every parking space.
Staff Analysis: Staff does not have an objection to the waiver request as the applicant has
provided a five (5) foot-wide strip of landscaping adjacent to (in front of) all paved parking
spaces, has satisfied the requirement of providing a shade tree within 40 feet of every
parking space, and at the request of staff has provided 35% open space on site. Staff
recommends APPROVAL of the requested waiver.
2. Waiver from Section 78-414 of the City’s LDRs, entitled Number of spaces required, to
allow for a total of 48 bicycle parking spaces on site. The City’s LDRs require 93 bicycle
parking spaces on site.
Applicant’s Justification: Based on the amount of bicycle traffic currently coming to the
site, the applicant feels that the provision of 48 bicycle parking spaces scattered throughout
the site is sufficient.
Staff Analysis: Staff is in agreement with the applicant’s justification and, therefore,
recommends APPROVAL of the waiver request.

3. Waiver from Section 78-141 of the City’s LDRs, entitled Residential zoning district
regulations, to allow for a maximum mean roof height of 38’-10” on the Commons/Student
Ministry Building. Said section limits the height of buildings within the RL-3 zoning
district to 36 feet.
Applicant’s Justification: The applicant has stated that during a meeting with Mr. Hansen, it
was pointed out that the colored elevation renderings did not match the hard-line (CADD)
architectural drawings. In particular, Mr. Hansen noted that he preferred the roofline of the
Student Ministry building as depicted in the colored elevations over that depicted in the
CADD drawing. To address this comment, the architectural plans have been revised to
create a larger roof mass on the Commons/Student Ministry building. This modification
increases the maximum mean roof height of the building to 38’-10”. The applicant has
indicated that the proposed height is in keeping with the scale, context and setbacks of the
building.
Staff Analvsis: It is staffs opinion that the horizontal and vertical massing provided by the
applicant helps soften the appearance of the size and mass of the proposed buildings. The
2’- 10’’ waiver request is minimal in nature and will not create greater negative impact on the
adjacent residents that would a building that met the 36-foot maximum mean roof height
requirement. Further, the maximum height to the Q of roof of the existing Sanctuary
Building is 43 feet. The maximum height to the Q of the roof of the proposed building is
approximately 44 feet. Staff recommends APPROVAL of the waiver request.
4. Waiver from Section 78-1590)(49) of the City’s LDRs, entitled Additional standards (for
Churches and Places of Worship), to allow for more than 50% of the required parking to be
grassed. The applicant is proposing 1,086 grassed parking spaces which amounts to 59% of
the required parking on site. Said section limits the number of grassed parking spaces to
50% of the required parking spaces.
Applicant’s Justification: The applicant has stated that the proposed grass parking areas will
only be used during peak hours of the Church’s operation, approximately 11 hours per week.
Due to the infrequent use of these parking areas, the applicant preferred to provide stabilized
grass parking on site so as to limit the amount of paved area.
Staff Analvsis: Staff agrees with the applicant’s justification and has included conditions of
approval that ensure the proper maintenance of the grassed parking areas. Staff
recommends APPROVAL of the waiver request.
5. Waiver from City Code Section 78-344 (1)(1), entitled Minimum dimensions (of off-street
parking), to allow for 777 9.5-foot-wide grassed parking spaces on the northernmost portion
of the plan. City Code requires 10-foot-wide parking spaces.
Applicant’s Justification: The applicant’s traffic circulation plan that has been reviewed and
approved by the City shows three (3) drive lanes along the “loop road’’ surrounding the
property. Currently there exists only two (2) lanes - the applicant has added the additional
lane to improve traffic flow within the site and keep the disruption to the traffic along
Northlake at a minimum. The applicant had previously proposed to place the additional lane

Meeting Date: October 6,2005
Ordinance 18,2005/Resolution 83,2005
Ordinance 19,2005/Resolution 84,2005
of traffic on the outside of the existing lanes closer to the Hunt Club development. At the
request of staff, the applicant amended the plan to place the additional lane on the inside of
the existing lanes. At the suggestion of the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board and in
order not to reduce the number of grassed parking spaces on the north portion of the plan,
the applicant has reduced the width of the parking spaces in this area from 10 feet, as
previously proposed, to 9.5 feet in order to accommodate the additional lane.
Staff Analysis: Staff agrees with the applicant’s justification and recommends
APPROVAL of the waiver request with the intent of maintaining the existing open space
width between the loop road and Hunt Club.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notices were mailed by the applicant to all properties and property owners within 500 feet of
the 40-acre site and the South Campus, as well as to every property and property owner in the
following residential developments: Cypress Hollow, Hunt Club, Steeplechase, and Horseshoe
Acres.
PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD WORKSHOP OF OCTOBER 26,2004
At its November 13, 2001 meeting, the petition to amend the conditions of approval for the
Campuses was reviewed by the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (referred to at the time as the
“Planning and Zoning Commission”), and the Board followed the recommendation of the staff of
the City at that time and recommended approval of the proposed amendments by a vote of 6-1. It is
important to note that staffs recommendation on the proposed modifications to the conditions of
approval has changed since the 2001 PZAB meeting.
On May 24, 2005, the City’s Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB) held a public hearing to
review the proposed expansion and Conditional Use approval for the Christ Fellowship North
Campus PUD (as noted in the “Background section” of this report, the proposed expansion and
Conditional Use approval were reviewed by the Board independently of the petition to amend the
conditions of approval as this petition had already been heard by the Board in 2001). The Board
voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the subject petition to the City Council along with the
requested waivers. The Board’s motion included the following recommendations based on staffs
outstanding issues at the time:
*:* Staff had requested that the applicant provide 35% open space on site, consistent with the
original approval. The Board recommended that the open space provided by the applicant at
that time, 32.6 %, was sufficient. The applicant has since revised the plans to provide
35.2 % open space on site at the request of staff.
*:* Staff had requested that the applicant place the existing utilities along Northlake Boulevard
underground along the entire length of the North Campus property (please see the “Utility
Lines Along Northlake Boulevard” section of this report). The Board stated that this request
was an undue burden on the applicant and recommended that this condition imposed by staff
be removed. Staff maintains that the utilities are required to be buried if relocated and
should be buried along the entire frontage of Northlake Boulevard in order to eliminate
conflicts with the North Campus landscape buffer. Staff has included a condition of

Meeting Date: October 6,2005
Ordinance 18,2005/Resolution 83,2005

approval requiring the same.
*:* The Board followed staffs recommendation that applicant place the additional lane of
traffic along the loop road inside of the existing lanes on the northern portion of the property
so as not to further impact the residents of Hunt Club. The Board recommended that the
applicant reduce the grass parking spaces on the northernmost portion of the plan to 9.5 feet
in width to accommodate the additional lane of traffic and recommended approval of a
waiver to allow for the reduced parking stall width. The applicant has modified the site
plan to comply with this request.
*:* Staff had requested that no access be provided to the vacant property owned by the Church
to the northeast of the North Campus that lies within unincorporated Palm Beach County.
Staff had an issue with this access point, as the City has no control over the activities taking
place on said property. The City thus would not have any control over the development of
this property such as an increase of the size of the campus beyond that currently proposed.
Also, this property could be utilized for overflow parking without the City’s control, perhaps
causing undue hardship to the residents of Hunt Club.
The Board recommended that the access point be permitted, but that a condition of approval
be included in the approving resolution that required the access point to be a closed and
locked gate, only to be used for maintenance purposes and that the vacant property not be
used for overflow parking. At the request of staff, the applicant has since revised the
plans to remove said access point, continue the landscape buffer across the previously
proposed access drive, and depict it only as a “future access drive.”
*:* The Board recommended a condition of approval that required any future outdoor
recreational facilities proposed on the North Campus be processed as a Major Amendment
to the PUD, which requires review and approval by the Board and the City Council. Staff
has included a condition of approval requiring the same.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION
At its special meeting on July 20,2005, the City Council held a public hearing to review the subject
petition. The City Council voted (4-1) to approve Ordinance 18, 2005 and Ordinance 19, 2005 on
First Reading (Resolution 83, 2005 and Resolution 84, 2005 were companion items to
aforementioned ordinances and did not require action on First Reading.). The Council scheduled a
workshop hearing to continue the review and discussion of the subject petition at its August 18,
2005, meeting and advised the applicant to work with the adjacent neighborhoods to address any
outstanding issues/concerns they may have with the proposal prior to the workshop hearing. The
Council also suggested that Condition #3 of Ordinance 23, 1999 be amended to prohibit
simultaneous broadcasts of presentations, programs and sermons conducted in the Sanctuary to any
other location within the City. Resolution 83, 2005, which, if approved, will contain all of the
conditions of approval for the North Campus, has been amended in accordance with the direction by
Council.
At its regular meeting on August 18, 2005, the City Council held a workshop to discuss the
proposed development plans. The following concerns relative to the project were identified by the
City Council (It is important to note that as of the date of the preparation of this report, the applicant

*:* The Council asked what would be considered a “special event” at the Church.
Staff Analysis: A special event is defined in the City’s LDRs as “a temporary meeting,
activity, gathering, or group of persons, animals, or vehicles, or a combination thereof,
having a common purpose, design or goal upon any public or private facility, street,
sidewalk, alley, park, public or private area or building where the special event substantially
inhibits the usual flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and is not the type approved for, or
customarily associated with, the site upon which the event is located, and is not a normal
business sale event or similar activity for commercial and/or office establishments. A special
event shall include, but not be limited to, city sponsored and co-sponsored events, festivals,
carnivals, concerts, parades, walks, races, banner and sign exhibits related to a special event,
fund raising sales and similar gatherings, block parties, grand opening promotions.”
*:* The new proposed development on the North Campus should be considered, not a Church,
but a lifestyle center.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Should the City Council approve the attached resolutions as proposed by staff, the applicant would
be prohibited from (1) increasing the number of seats within the Sanctuary; (2) utilizing any
building on the North or South Campus for overflow areas or for supplemental seating for
presentations, programs or sermons conducted in the Sanctuary; and (3) transmitting any
simultaneous broadcasts of presentations, programs and sermons conducted in the Sanctuary to any
remote location within the City. It is staffs professional opinion that these safeguards maintain the
spirit and intent of the Sanctuary’s capacity at 1,750 seats.
Churches and Places of Worship permitted as a Conditional Use within residential zoning
districts. A portion of the subject petition involves the expansion of the Church’s ancillary uses on
the North Campus, the size of which are not specifically regulated by the LDRs. Ancillary uses are
allowed to the extent that they continue to be incidental and subordinate to the principal use. The
proposed expansion meets the requirements of the LDRs with the exception of those requirements
from which the applicant has requested a waiver (see “Waivers” section of the staff report), all of
which staff is recommending approval.
Staff has proposed conditions to attempt to ensure that the proposed site plan is designed to mitigate
impacts on surrounding properties so that the quality of life of the surrounding neighborhoods is not
diminished.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance 18, 2005 and Resolution 83, 2005 allowing for (1)
the incorporation of 20 acres of land lying immediately east of the existing North Campus into the
PUD to facilitate the development of a 159,180 square-foot expansion to the North Campus; (2) the
approval of a Conditional Use for the expanded Christ Fellowship Campus; (3) modifications to
certain previously imposed conditions of approval, as reflected in Resolution 83,2005.

CONDITIONAL USE ANALYSIS
City of Palm Beach Gardens LDR Section 78-52
(1) Comprehensive plan. The proposed use is consistent with comprehensive plan.
StaffAnaZysis: Staff has reviewed the proposed expansion of use and recommends that the PZAB
consider the following Goal of the Comprehensive Plan:
GOAL 1.1.: CONTINUE TO ENSURE A HIGH QUALITY LIVING ENVIRONMENT
THROUGH A MIXTURE OF LAND USES THAT WILL MAXIMIZE PALM BEACH
GARDENS’ NATURAL AND MANMADE RESOURCES WHILE MINIMIZING ANY
THREAT TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF THE CITY’S CITIZENS
THAT IS CAUSED BY INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION.
(2) Chapter requirements. The proposed use is consistent with all applicable requirements
of this chapter.
Staff Analysis: Section 78- 159(j)(49) of the City’s LDRs (attached), entitled Additional standards
(for Churches and Places of Worship), contains standards with which Churches and Places of
Worship must comply. Subsection b. thereof states that such use with more than 1,000 permanent
seats or approved capacity may be located as a conditional use in the following districts: CG-1, CG-
2, P/I, M1, M1A and M2. At the time that the existing North Campus was approved by the City,
Churches and Places of Worship were permitted in all residential zoning districts as a conditional
use regardless of the number of seats. The development order for the existing North Campus limits
the number of seats within the Sanctuary to 1,750 seats and prohibits the existing Buildings A and B
from being used as overflow areas or for supplemental seating for presentations, programs, or
sermons conducted in the Sanctuary. There will be no increase in the number of seats allowed
within the Sanctuary by way of this petition. Staff has included conditions of approval that maintain
the spirit and intent of the Sanctuary’s capacity at 1,750.
Staff interprets the principal use to be the Sanctuary and the requested expansion to continue to be
incidental and subordinate to the sanctuary use. The proposed expansion meets the requirements of
the LDRs with the exception of those requirements from which the applicant has requested a waiver
(see “Waivers” section of the staff report), all of which staff is recommending approval.
(3) Standards. The proposed use is consistent with the standards for such use as provided
in Section 78-159.
StafAnalysis: See previous Staff Analysis.
(4) Public welfare. The proposed use provides for the public health, safety, and welfare
by:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Providing for a safe and effective means of pedestrian access;
Providing for a safe and effective means of vehicular ingress and egress;
Providing for an adequate roadway system adjacent to and front of the site;
Providing for safe and efficient onsite traffic circulation, parking, and overall
control; and
Providing adequate access for public safety purposes, including fire and police
protection.
e.
Staff Analysis: The applicant has provided a pedestrian access-way from Northlake Boulevard to
the main entrance of the CommonsNouth Ministry Building.
The applicant is providing a turn lane into each entrance of the site to provide an effective means of
vehicular ingress and egress. Staff has included a condition of approval that requires the applicant
to install a turn lane onto Hunt Club Drive from Northlake Boulevard to further enhance the
roadway system in front of the site.
The City’s traffic consultant has reviewed the proposed traffic circulation plan; the applicant is
required as a condition of approval to comply with said plan.
Concerns have been raised that the proposed expansion will further impact the traffic along
Northlake Boulevard during the peak times of the Church’s operations. The management of traffic
for this use is a critical component of ensuring safe and efficient traffic circulation and safe and
efficient access, as traffic before and after activities at the site will create temporary congestion.
The applicant is required as a condition of approval to utilize police or equally trained officials at all
ingress and egress points along Northlake Boulevard for the management of traffic flow and
direction before and after all events, including regularly scheduled events, and is required to monitor
traffic conditions at the driveways as well as internal traffic circulation to minimize traffic impact to
Northlake Boulevard. The Police Department reports indicate that off-duty officers are utilized four
days per week for the regular services of the Church. Although there have been citizen complaints
related to the traffic situation in the past, the City’s records indicate that these concerns have been
addressed by the Church in a timely fashion, and have resulted in no code enforcement proceedings.
The submitted plans have been reviewed by the City’s Fire Department to ensure proper access is
provided.
(5) Screening and buffering. The proposed use utilizes such techniques as landscaping,
screening, buffering, site or building design, or business operation procedures to
mitigate impacts on surrounding properties, including such impact as:
a. Noise;
b. Glare;
C. Odor;
d.
e.
f. Signs;
g. Waste disposal and recycling;
h.
Ground-, wall-, or roof-mounted mechanical equipment;
Perimeter, interior, and security lighting;
Outdoor storage of merchandise and vehicles;
2
i. Visual impact; and
j. Hours of operation.
StaffAnalvsis: Staff has required a photometric study to ensure the impacts of glare are addressed.
Noise impacts are addressed by conditions of approval requiring the applicant to (1) comply with
the applicable noise and decibel requirements set forth in the City’s Code of Ordinances; (2) explore
opportunities to utilize sound absorbingdampening building materials in the new buildings and
provide, in writing, details of the materialdmethods to be utilized to reduce the impact relative to
sound on adjacent properties. The proposed site plan is designed such that impacts on surrounding
properties are sought to be mitigated so that the quality of life of the adjacent communities is not
diminished. Nevertheless, the visual impacts and other impacts on the community will be affected
by the size of the site and the increased activities at the site. Conditions of approval to ensure the
impacts have been mitigated have been proposed to be a part of any approval and are discussed in
the staff report.
(6) Utilities. The proposed use minimizes or eliminates the impact of utility installation,
including underground and overhead utilities, on adjacent properties.
Staff Analysis: The proposed expansion of the use minimizes any impact on adjacent properties
relative to the installation of utilities as part of the expansion. In fact, the proposed expansion has
been designed to gather and collect some stormwater drainage from the Hunt Club residential
development to the north.
(7) Dimensional standards. The proposed use meets or exceeds all dimensional
requirements required by the chapter.
StaffAnalysis: The proposed expansion is consistent with all dimensional requirements required by
the chapter with the exception of those requirements from which the applicant has requested a
waiver (see “Waivers” section of the staff report).
(8) Neighborhood plans. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies,
and standards of neighborhood plans.
StaffAnalysis: There are no existing neighborhood plans with which that the proposed expansion is
inconsistent
(9) Compatibility. The overall compatibility of the proposed development with adjacent
and area uses, and character of area development.
Staff Analysis: The existing North Campus received development approval from the City in 1997,
at which time the use was determined compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhoods and
several conditions of approval were placed on the original development approval and subsequent
amendments to the North Campus, which were generated by neighborhood concern that the use was
too intense for the residential character of the neighborhood. These conditions will remain in full
force and effect should the subject petition be approved.
The proposed expansion involves the expansion of the Church’s ancillary uses, the size of which is
not specifically regulated by the City’s LDRs as explained above. There is concern that the
expansion is not in keeping with the residential character of the surrounding residential
3
neighborhoods and that the proposed use is more commercial than residential in nature. The subject
site has a Residential Low Density-3 (RL3) underlying zoning designation. Section 78-137 of the
City’s LDRs entitled Composition and intent (of the Residential Low Density-3 underlying zoning
district) states that “the district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the
districts by prohibiting commercial activities, to encourage a suitable neighborhood environment for
family life by including among the uses such facilities such as schools and churches, and to preserve
the openness of the district by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards” [Emphasis
supplied]. The LDRs acknowledge that churches and schools are compatible with residential uses;
however, concern has been expressed that there is a point at which the size of a church and the
ancillary uses reach a magnitude such that it is not compatible with the surrounding residential
neighborhoods. The City’s Fire Department estimates, based on the documents provided, that the
capacity of the new buildings is approximately 3,753 persons (this is a rough estimate and does take
into account restrooms, small purpose rooms, or the existing buildings on site). Combined with the
existing capacity on site, there is the potential for a total on-site capacity to reach approximately
7,000 persons at a particular time.
Staff has proposed conditions to any approval of the proposed site plan to help ensure that impacts
on surrounding properties are mitigated and the quality of life of the adjacent communities is not
diminished. Conditions of approval ensuring the compatibility of the proposed use with the
adjacent neighborhoods are discussed in the staff report.
(10) Patterns of development. The proposed use will result in logical, timely, and orderly
development patterns.
Staff Analvsis: The applicant has provided a phasing plan that will result a logical development
pattern. The applicant’s traffic concurrency approval contains a build-out date of December 3 1,
2006. This will ensure a timely development pattern.
(11) Purpose and intent. The proposed use will be in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of this chapter and the goals, objectives, and policies of the City.
Staff Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposed expansion of use and found it to be in harmony
with the intent of the City’s LDRs and the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive
Plan.
(12) Adverse impact. The design of the proposed use and structures will minimize any
adverse visual impacts or impacts caused by the intensity of the use.
Staff Analysis: Staff has required a photometric study to ensure the impacts of glare are addressed.
Noise impacts are addressed by conditions of approval requiring the applicant to (1) comply with
the applicable noise and decibel requirements set forth in the City’s Code of Ordinances; and (2)
explore opportunities to utilize sound absorbing/dampening building materials in the new buildings
and provide, in writing, details of the materials/methods to be utilized to reduce the impact relative
to sound on adjacent properties. The proposed site plan is designed such that impacts on
surrounding properties are sought to be mitigated so that the quality of life of the adjacent
communities is not diminished. Nevertheless, the visual impacts and other impacts on the
community will be affected by the size of the site and the increased activities at the site. Conditions
of approval to ensure the impacts have been mitigated have been proposed to be a part of any
approval and are discussed in the staff report.
4
(13) Environmental impact. The design of the proposed use minimizes any adverse impacts
that may be created, including impacts on environmental and natural resources
including air, water, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, and wetlands.
Staff Analvsis: Staff has reviewed the proposed development plan and determined that any adverse
impacts on environmental and natural resources have been minimized.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on staffs analyses above (1) the requested expansion of the ancillary uses, in staffs opinion,
is incidental and subordinate to the principal sanctuary use and is thereby consistent with provisions
of the LDRs; and (2) the development plans and the conditions placed upon the operation of the
Church by staff both have been designed and structured such that the proposed expansion of the use
COMPLIES with the City’s Conditional Use Criteria established in Section 78-52 of the LDRs.

Palm Beach County and MTP Group have perfomled a coordinated review for he project
refmnced above. We have reviewed a letter prepared by Wey-Horn and Associates, Inc.
dated February 22, 2005. The letter includes responses to corncuts about a trait study dated
December 2,2004 which was prepared to address the following:
1 - A mc plan identifjhg tfaffic circulation during the peak hour of the church.
2. A traffic study evaluating hadway conditions dong the directly access segment of
Northlake Boulevard and at the intersection with Military Trdl during the peak-
hour of the church.
The study shows that during the peak hour of the church, both tbe ewtem and western driveways
are projected to operate at level of service ‘‘E’9 using Highway Capacity Manual p~ocedures. Using
a diffcrent methodology, Syncro, the level of service at both driveways is projected to be “Dp’. It
must be noted that these conditions are expected to occ\u Sunday be$wec=n 11 :OO a.m. and 12:OO
noon. Most likely, the levels of senice presented above would odj occur during 15 to 20
minutes.
“he analysis indicates the 11:45 a.m. Sunday service will be moved to 12:OO noon in order to
spread traffic during the peak hour of the church. Also, a traffic mwmgennent plan is discussed
in the Dccember 2,2004 tmfEc study.
P- 2 3-16-205 10:30AM FROM MTP GROUP INC WPB FL t1 561 7958230
Wc concur with the analysis presented and recommend the following:
1. Move the 11:45 am. Sunday senice to 12:OO n~oa
2. Include police control during ped periuds (e.g Swrday scrvice). Four policeman
are needed to control traffic along Northlakc Bonlevard (two on each driveway per
direction).
3. Provide tr&c circulation as included in the traffic analysis and attached os
Exhibits 1. and 2.
4. Monitor traffic conditions at the driveways as well as iriternal traffic circulation to-
minimize traffic impact to Northlakc Boulevard.

Per your request, we have ixviewed a letter prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. dated
December 2,2004. This letter was prepared in response to comments dated November 10,2004
regarding the following analyses for the above subject property:
1. A traffic plan idmtifjhg traffic circulation during the peak hour of the church. The
plan needs to evaluate internal circulation as well as adequacy of existing
driveways, turning lanes and storage, traffic control, and dety devices.
2. A gaffic study evaluating roadway conditions along the directly access segment of
Northlake Boulevard and at the intersection with Military Trail during the peak
hour of the church.
We offer the following comments:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Turning movement counts should be conducted at all project driveways to
determine both existing tr&ic and project traffic assignment. This comment was
included in our previous memorandum and it has not been addressed in the letter.
The analysis used to determine observed trip generation should be included in the
letter.
Project traffic assignment should be based on existing turning movement counts. While the letter indicates assigrunent was based on existing tuming movements,
turning movements at the eastern driveway were not considered, as they were not
included in the analysis.
Observed count data was not attached to the copy of the letter we received.
We recommend summarizing existing ?E&C volumes and turning movemmts in a figure in order to expedite the review process.
Provide a figure clearly illustrating Sunday peak hour volumes at all driveways.
It seems like a peak hour factor of 0.4 was used for project traffic when analyzing
the driveways. It is suggested to apply a growth factor of 60% to project traRFic
along Northlake Boulevard and use of a peak hour factor of 0.4 at the driveways.
In order to determine adequacy of turn lane storage, an evaluation needs to bc
conducted to compare available storage versus forecasted queues.
The consultant needs to suggest Wc managment mitigation to expand the arrival
and departure times.
Should you need additional infimdon, do not hesitate to contact me at (561) 795-0678.

Per you reqlresc we hwe reviewed a letter prepwed by Rimly-Horn ad Assocides, he. &td Septmber
23,2004. This letter was prepared in response to comments on July 2004 which rquired the following
analyses:
1 - A td%c plan identifying traffic circulation during the peak hour of the church. The plan
needs to evaluate internal circulation as &ell as adequacy of existing driveways, turning lanes and storage, traffic control, and safety devices.
2. A traffic study evaluating roadway conditions along the directly access segment of Northlake Boulevard and at the intersection with Military Trail during the peak hour of the
church.
The letter clearly identifies the peak hour of the church occurring on Sunday between I 1 :00 am and 12:OO
noon. It also contains a.n analysis of roadways conditions along Northlake Boulevard in the year 2006
(buildout of the project) during the peak hour of the church. It includss signalized intersection analysis at
the two project driveways along Northlake Boulevard as well as at the intersection of Military Trail and
Northlake Boulevard. However, it does not incIude the traffic plan required under item 1 above.
We offer the following comments:
1. Turning movement counts should be conducted at all prciject driveways to determine both
existing trafEc and project assignment.
2. Project traffic assignment should be based on existing turning movement counts rather than
information included in the approved July 2004 traffic study.
3. Existing trip generation should bo compared with that calcutated using the ITE Trip
Generation Report. The ITE trip generation rate used to est-imte trips may not be valid as
the proposed church falls outside the values included in the ITE Trip Generation Report.
A justifiable trip generation rate should be used to estimate trip generation at buildout of the
project.
4, A Wc plan identifying traffic circulation during the peak hour of the church should be
prepared. The plan needs to evaluate internal circulation as weft as adequacy of existing
driveways, turning lanes and storage, tral3c control, and safety devices.
5. The analysis assumes both driveways along Northlake Boulevard are signalized at buildout
of the project. Is tho developer installing the sigrrals? Have they been approved? If not,
please identify traffic control and safety devices to be used during the peak hour of the
church on Sunday.
6. Consistent with the approved traffic study, the Military Trail/Northlake Boulevard
intersection analysis needs to include trafFic diversions due to the Northlake Reliever.

condition:

Trail. If for any reason, implementation of this change in lane configuration was
not feasible, the developer will need to commit to other improvements at this
intersection, to improve peak hour traffic operations to acceptable levels.
It is also suggested:
A “Traffic Circulation Plan” to be developed providing an analysis of the project
traffic circulation conditions during the church peak demand periods (whish may
be during events un weekends). This plan needs tc evaluate the adequacy of

DRAINAGE STATEMENT
CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL
OCTOBER, 2004
(REV. APRIL, 2005)
The proposed development is an addition to the existing Christ Fellowship Church that will
consist of approximately 157,000 sf of buildings that will house meeting and dining rooms. The
buildings and the required parking will be constructed on approximately 20 acres of land. The
proposed facility will be located adjacent and east of the existing Chst Fellowship Church
building. The project is located within the jurisdiction of Northern Palm Beach County
Improvement District.
The drainage system for the project will consist of conventional water management facilities,
including a series of dry retention areas, grassed swales, inlets, drainage piping and an outfall to
the Ballen Isles master drainage system. In addition to the drainage for this new phase, it is
proposed to receive a portion of the drainage runoff from the existing phase. The existing phase
one currently has periods of time when the outfall system does not function as efficiently as
originally anticipated, therefore the water levels on the property reach stages higher than
anticipated. We believe that the cause of this condition is that the current outfall is through
Northlake Blvd. and the project discharge is subject to conditions within the roadway that delays
the time when the Church’s project can discharge. It is planned to redistribute a portion of the
existing storm water management system and route it through the new phase drainage system.
Once this system is in place this will eliminate the high water levels in phase one.
The proposed outfall system for the new phase two will be controlled through the use of a
control structure located at the northeast comer of the northern dry retention area. The outfall
pipe will be connected to an existing pipe that was installed with the Place of Hope project
developed several years ago and is owned by Christ Fellowship Church. The existing outfall
pipe is a 36” cmp that was designed to receive the runoff from this new project. The final
outfall is in the Ballen Isles lake system that is maintained and operated by Northern Palm Beach
County Improvement District. The allowable discharge is based on the C- 17 basin allowable
discharge of 62.4 CSM. The proposed project will be routed based on this
for this new phase and that portion of the phase one that is to be included with
project.

The project’s water management and drainage system falls within the jurisdiction of the City of

Water Management District and will be permitted through each agency.

Re: North Campus Expansion of East 20 Acres and Usage of the Planned New Facilities
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your inquiry as to the usage of the buildings we are proposing to add to
our existing facilities on Northlake Blvd. Basically, it is all about our children! We need
more “indoor” space for our kids’ programs.
The first building to be built, the Student Ministry Center, will be used in the
following manner:
1) Multiple rooms will be added for Middle School age children and for High
School age kids. Rooms for Sunday school, prayer rooms and breakout rooms
will enable us to group (and separate) similar age kids together.
We are now using this same concept in one of our existing buildings which we
call God’s Town. During our regular weekly “adult” services in our main
Sanctuary, we run concurrent services for elementary school children, for fifth
and sixth graders, for middle school and for high school age kids. In an effort to
separate younger children from the older ones, we are adding a Student
Auditorium plus numerous “medium size” breakout rooms to be used at the same
time our normal weekly adult services are taking place.
2) Student Ministry small group worship / theater room
3) Fellowship Hall for families
4) Public meeting rooms for community use
5) Break-out rooms for small group worship
March 29,2005
Page 2
6) Casual areas for pot-luck dinners for families
7) Kids Zone indoor play ground
8) Choir suite for choir practices
9) Administrative ofice areas (primarily upstairs)
Christ Fellowship is very concerned about the safety of our children. By expanding our
North Campus we will be able to accommodate all of our adults and children on the north
side of Northlake Blvd. during regular weekly services, thereby reducing crossover traffic
to our property on the south side of Northlake Blvd.
Phase I of this expansion includes the addition of walls to the porch area in God’s Town.
All zoning requirements have been met regarding parking and engineering for this area.
The elimination of the “outside porch”, along with the addition of the Student Ministry
Center, will enable Christ Fellowship to move our 5~ and 6* grade age children inside for
worship, thus reducing exterior sounds from children playing and worshipping.
The second building to be built, the Family Life Center, will be used in the following
manner:
1) The majority of the square footage is allocated to a gym. Kids and adults from
the community will play basketball, volleyball and other sports in this facility.
2) Dressing Rooms and Work-out Rooms
3) Community Meeting rooms
4) Racquetball Courts
5) Aerobics room for mothers and young children
6) Crafts and other family small group breakout rooms
7) Unfinished areas upstairs will be used for fbture administrative office space,
kids break-out rooms and much needed storage areas
Christ Fellowship owns a small tract of land on Howell Lane (located in the county) that
is adjacent to the northeast corner of the subject East 20 Acre Expansion project. This site
is one of the most special ministries of Christ Fellowship Church. We refer to the barn,
building and horse riding ring as our “Special Needs Ministry.”

Almost every Saturday literally hundreds of Special Needs’ children, teenagers and
parents from the community (most do not attend Christ Fellowship) participate in a
“Hippo-Therapy” program. This horse-back riding and animal therapy program has
broken down barriers within families, has given handicapped children and young adults
in our community ways to communicate, exercise, and relate to animals and people of all
ages in unbelievable ways! We plan to continue using this property for our Special Needs
Ministry in the future.
Michael, please call me if you need any additional information. Thank you for your
interest and assistance on this project.

Re:
Dear Michael:
Christ Fellowship Church PUD AmendmenVPUD 0 1 -03/Conditions of Approval North Campus
We have been asked to update the Church’s position on the Amendment of certain Conditions of Approval by
virtue of an application filed in April 2001. The Amendment was considered by the Planning, Zoning & Appeals
Board (then the Planning and Zoning Commission) on November 13, 2001 and the Board recommended approval
by a vote of 6- 1. At the September 4, 2002 City Council meeting, the City Council requested that the Petition be
postponed until they could also consider a Development Application for the east 20 acres which was heard by the
Planning, Zoning & Appeals Board on May 24, 2005 and recommended for approval by a 7-0 vote. The Church’s
position on the requested Amendment to the Conditions of Approval are as follows:
Condition 1: Shuttle Bus. “Immediately upon the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the sanctuary
on the north campus of Christ Fellowship, shuttle bus or any other type of transportation service between the north
and south campuses shall cease.”
With the addition of the ancillary uses contemplated on the east 20 acres, the need for the use of shuttle buses will
be considerably lessened. One of the benefits of adding the east 20 acres to the Christ Fellowship campus is to
minimize the need for cross-over activity on the south campus. There will be some need, however, to continue the
use of shuttle buses. It was staffs recommendation at the November 13, 2001 Planning & Zoning Commission
meeting that the condition be eliminated in that the Church was providing “for safe transport of Church members
between two sites that comply with all applicable zoning codes.” The Church agrees with the staff recommendation
that the condition be eliminated.
Condition 7: Special Events Limited to Six Per Year. “The church sanctuary and related facilities and
surrounding grounds shall be used by members only for regularly scheduled services, including services on
Christmas Day and Easter Day, and for no more than six (6) additional events per calendar year. The church
sanctuary and related facilities shall not be leased, rented or in any way be made available for use as an auditorium,
theater or similar gathering place for non-member events of any kind. Regularly scheduled services shall be defined
as services occurring on Saturday evening, Sunday morning, and a mid-week evening.” mmp&!d! Em-
PUNNING &ZONING DEPT,
The Church requested that this condition be eliminated. The staffs recommendation was that “the emphasis of any
restriction should be placed on non-religious events.” Staff recommended that the condition be revised accordingly:
The church sanctuary and related facilities shall not be leased, rented or in any way be made
available for use as an auditorium, theater or similar gathering place for non-member events or
events not directly affiliated with the church’s function or ministry.
The Church agrees with staffs recommended revision.
Condition 9: Outside Sound Amplification. “The owner or successor shall not utilize a loudspeaker, sound
amplifier, radio, phonograph, of (sic) similar sound amplifying device to emit any form of sound outside the church
sanctuary and related facilities.”
Staff recommended the following revised condition.
All audible noises on site shall not exceed applicable noise and decibel level requirements set
forth in the Code of Ordinances. Violation of this condition is subject to Code Enforcement
Procedures.
The Church agrees with staffs recommended condition.
Condition 12: Seats in the Sanctuary. “The number of fixed and/or moveable seats within the sanctuary shall at
no time exceed 1,750 seats.”
The Church requested that this condition be eliminated because sanctuary occupancy should be based on the ability
to meet all Code requirements of the City, including parking, traffic concurrency, fire, building and safety codes.
The seat limitation condition was arbitrary and did not relate to any of the applicable Code requirements.
Staff recommended “the elimination of the condition requiring a maximum of 1,750 fixed and/or moveable seats,
and allowance for a number of fixed and/or moveable seats within the requirements of the concurrency approval and
the Land Development Regulations.”
Staff recommended 2,284 seats. The Church agrees to that number of seats in the sanctuary
Condition 2: Buildings A and B. “Buildings A and B shall not be used as overflow areas or for supplemental
seating for presentations, programs or sermons conducted in the Sanctuary.”
Staffs recommendation was that “the applicant has indicated that Buildings A and B are not used for overflow
seating. Given the additional seating that may be permitted within the sanctuary building as part of this petition
approval, staff does not recommend deletion of this condition.” Based on the increased number of seats requested
by the Church, the Church agrees to leave the condition unchanged.
Condition 3: Simultaneous Broadcasts.
conducted in the Sanctuary to any remote location, on-site or off-site, shall be prohibited.”
“Simultaneous broadcasts of presentations, programs and sermons
The Church requested elimination of this condition. The original intent of the condition was to curtail traffic control
problems at the north and south campuses of the Church. The staff report indicated that “the police department has
reported no problems related to traffic operations at the site after one full year of operation ....” Staffs
recommendation was as follows:
.
Staff found no evidence of traffic control problems at the entrances to both the North and the
South Campus. Both sites have received approval from the City for religious use with certain
square footage and sanctuary seating. The applicant has also provided staff with a traffic
operations site plan, indicating how traffic is controlled from both campuses. It is staffs
professional opinion that activities occurring on both sites simultaneously do not pose a
significant hazard. The condition, as approved, may not have a rational nexus to the safety, health
and welfare of the City, and is not imposed on any other religious institutions within the City.
Therefore, staff recommends deletion of this condition.
The Church believes the condition should be eliminated.
In conclusion, the Church agrees with the staff recommendation prepared for the November 13, 2001 Planning &
Zoning Commission meeting. The hearing resulted in a 6-1 vote in favor of the condition changes as set forth
herein.
If you have any questions about the foregoing, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Christ Fellowship - Support for Youth Building
Honorable City Council Members,
We strongly urge your support Christ Fellowship's plan to develop land on their current
property for the planned Youth Ministry Center. What a fantastic project, not only for the
Church and its members, but also for the community at large.
We are members of Christ Fellowship and have regularly attended services on
Northlake Boulevard for the past four (4) years. We have witnessed the wonderful
programs the Church sponsors not only for its family members, but also for the benefit
of the community at large. The Church truly supports families at a time when families
are under stress.
We are especially impressed with the youth programs. We only wish our own children
could have taken part while they were growing up and before they went off to college.
This planned project is aimed to benefit the young people of Palm Beach Gardens.
Thank you in advance for your support.

to make Palm Beach Gardens our home indefinitely. We live in our city year round.
I believe in what Christ Fellowship is doing and know that the church is making a
positive impact in our community.
It is my desire that the city council support Christ Fellowship’s plan to develop
land on their current property. Please support our church and our program, as I
believe what is important for the church and the residents of Palm Beach Gardens is
important for our city as well.
Thank you for your time, and all that you do for the city we call home.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
Good morning! My name is Michelle Wall and I am a new resident of Palm Beach Gardens. I moved into the
Cypress Hollow development in July, 2004. As a member and neighbor of Christ Fellowship Church I wanted to
take the time to express to you my very strong support of Christ Fellowship. I very strongly believe in what they
are doing and I believe they make a very positive impact on our community. I have never before seen a church
staff that cares more about its member's and most of all about the children of the community. I myself am a single
mother of a 19 month old little girl. I am so excited about what Christ Fellowship does for all of the children in the
community. I look forward to having my daughter involved with the church as she grows and develops into a
young adult. It gives me so much comfort to think that my daughter will grow with a wonderful group of children
and caregivers and have a wonderful place to grow, learn and play!! I think all parents experience the innate fear
of their children growing up in a very unpredictable world. I have much more comfort as I have seen the children
involved with Christ Fellowship. The staff and volunteers at Christ Fellowship love these children so much and
they really give them a wonderful, secure place to mature into adults. I am excited to see my daughter grow up in
this environment and hope she has the same passion and love of the lord that these children have. Religion
aside, they are loved, they are safe, and they are having fun!!
I strongly support Christ Fellowship's plan to develop the land on their current property. As a parent, a Christian, a
neighbor and a resident of Palm Beach Gardens, it is apparent to me that it is a benefit to all.
Sincerely,
Michelle Wall

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Jeff Rembaum, a land use/ community association lawyer
with the law firm of Becker and Poliakoff and a Hunt Club resident. As ususal I have a meeting tonight and
cannot attend. I reviewed the Hunt Club letter. I offer the following comments in my capacity as a Hunt Club
resident. Because I cannot attend I am also forwarding my personal comments to several PBG commissioners.
It is important, pro or con that the commissioners hear from us on these issues. Silence is often mistaken for
consent. Tell them how you feel. We have a very responsive Commission but, they can only address what we
as residents share with them.
This is not a matter of what the church is offering. Rather, it is a matter of what each community needs to co-
exist with the Church. The Church creates unique land use issues and might exceed permitted uses. A careful
reading of the prior ordinances etc will reveal that the Church may or may not be honoring past promises to the
City. All such past promises should be brought to the attention of the Commission. I suggest you do so to
ensure that past promises be honored. My greatest concerns, in order of priority are safety, traffic and noise.
5/9/2005

I offer the following suggestions. The resolution that will be attached to the ordinance or such other conditions
of approval as will be required should specify that
1) Hunt Club Drive shall remain free of church traffic. With only one method of ingress and egress it is far too
dangerous to even consider sharing Hunt Club Drive with the Church. If somebody needed an ambulance for
heart attack or drowning rescue would require a helicopter because we know an ambulance could not fight its
way in.
2) All lighting that borders residential neighborhoods should be unidirectional and required, again by ordinance
or resolution. But for Easter and Christmas no parking lights on past 1O:OO (or whatever time is reasonable). If
not everyone that abuts the church property will feel like they are living in a local where the sun does not set.
3) Turn lane from Northlake to Hunt club drive should be restored as condition of approval . Should be traffic
stacking for at least 6 cars in the turn lane. As it exists its too dangerous. I cannot tell you how many time I
thought I was a goner while turning into our community. I was told that before the church was built the turn
lane was there, but it was taken out. lT MUST BE RESTORED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!
4) A 20 foot concrete sound wall should be constructed to separate Hunt club homes from Church noise and
traffic.

Dear Elected Official,
&.a resident of the Hunt Club, and speaking for many of my neighbors, we strongly abject to Christ Fellowship's
proposed changes to their restrictions and to their proposed expansion and would exhort you to vote to deny their
request. I remember being at the council meeting years ago when the church promiged not to come back asking for more
if they got the approval for the North Campus. Given their track record and their refysal to answer questions regarding
future plans such as a school and athletic fields, this massive expansion should be dqnied.
As it is now, the noise from outdoor events compromises our quality of life and the dangerous traffic situation on
Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays farces us to schedule our travel around the church schedule. Having such a huge
and inappropriate usage in an upscald residential area would have dissuaded us from considering our home when we
were house shopping 8 years ago and probably accounts for why realtors tell us our homes do not sell for as much as
they should.
Whether people consider this huge building endeavor to be a commendable thing or not, it clearly doesn't belong in the
middle of quiet residential neighborhoods. Having mammoth 2 story buildings looming over our small neighborhood will
hurt our property values. The intense usage planned for this facility would further erode our home values and cause
inconvenience, noise and traffic problems. Some of the uses and features outlined in their published material include: a
full service bookstore, a food court (restaurant?), cafe, video games, plasma TVs, pool tables, a rock climbing wall and a
1
I
multipurpose room that “will accommpdate up to 1,000 people for large-group student activities.”
The impact that the neighborhoods suffer from now would be greatly iiicreased if this development is approved. In our
informational meeting with the church it was brought out that there will be classrooms to accommodate 750 people and
that these facilities would also be made available to any group or organization that wishes to use them. The large tour
buses that idle in the parking lot are not conducive to our quiet lifestyle here.
The residents who live in this area don’t feel it is acceptable to have to live next to a gymnasium and fitness center,
health club and outdoor basketball and volleyball courts as well as an outdoor baptism pond. All these activities belong in
a commercial area. It was further disdssed at the meeting that in addition to the qxisting family members and their
children this facility is intended to serve as a hub for the church‘s magnet campuses and as a place for teenagers from
broken homes to gather.
The youth oriented games and enticements that act as a magnet for teenagers from outside of P.B.G. to come and hang
out at the church will place a larger burden on the city‘s resources, such as the police department, which has had to deal
with problems in the past. They can’t control the teens that now come on Wednesday nights so there will be even bigger
security issues with the expansion. The Hunt Club has already been dealing with problems caused by these teenagers in
our neighborhood and has prompted he board of directors to install a new security $ate at our entrance.
The many residents of our surrounding communities know that the meeting tomorrow night will not be in our favor, as the
church has been working closely with a high end Chicago marketing company and a local P.R. firm and has called on its
many members to stack the meeting, but it should be remembered that only 1/3 of Christ Fellowship members are P.B.G.
residents and it is we, the concerned citizens, who live in Palm Beach Gardens.

Dear City Council Member,
Please remember that in this matter your first responsibility is to the citizens and voters of Palm Beach Gardens
and to stop thiis 'monster' from growing beyond what is already a burden to the neighboring residents and the
local community.
The major factors in my opposition to the proposed Christ Fellowship Church expansion are as follows:
The residential nature of the surrounding neighborhoods is now and will further be compromised by what in fact is
a huge non-residential institution, far beyond any typical church and more akin to an entertainment venue. Traffic,
noise pollution and light spill-over is already unreasonable and will become so much worse.
The proposed uses currently being requested go far beyond reasonable hours and activities typicaly associated
with a church and verge on the commercial and are more like a theme-park than a church and will be ongoing,
every hour of every day - events attended by thousands of people, immediatly abutting private residences of a
5/10/2005

long established residential community with no buffer at all
Traffic is already negativly impacted by the current level of activities. It is more than a nuisance to those traveling
Northlake Boulevard but also a hazard. (I must point our one particularly disturbing personal experience. I have
personaly witnessed church personnel standing in the middle of westbound Northlake Boulevard stopping and
directing traffic 'assisting' one, lone PBG police officer.)
Recent on-going incidents of individuals, typicly teens, slipping away from church sponsored activities and
congregating on private and howmeowners association property will become an increased problem with
increased activities. Interestingly, the church initialy took an 'It's not our problem' approach for quite a while and
had to be strongly confronted to take any concern over the matter. Hardly the attitude of a good neighbor..
Good governance demands that you act firmly and decisivly to
1) limit the number (and type) of events allowed,
2) limit the size of events,
3) limit the hours of operation for outdoor events,
4) limit the noise from outdoor events
5) limit the amount and hours of outdoor lighting,
6) mandate a reasonable traffic plan and have competent police personnel directing the traffic - not favoring the
flow to and from the

information, is a copy of a letter I recently
received from Diane Mahar of Horseshoe Acres Club regarding Northlake Boulevard
and Christ Fellowship Church's proposed expansion plans.
It appears that her community is working with the church in hopes of
minimizing the impact the expansion will have on their community. Since the
church has a large congregation the impacts have been felt by the surrounding
neighborhoods. I hope that the city will keep those communities in mind when
reviewing the churches plans.

landscaping along Northlake Boulevard and your community.
I would suggest that you have your landscape architect contact Andy Hertel
directly to get the information on the County's rules for landscaping. He can be
reached at 684-4100. I have also asked the County Engineer's Office to look at the
speed limit on Northlake as well as any new traffic lights as you mentioned. When
I receive their comments, I will be back in touch with you.
Since Christ Fellowship Church is in the City of Palm Beach Gardens, I have
shared your concerns with the City on their expansion plans. A copy of my letter to
the Mayor is attached for your review.
Thanks again for writing and I look to forward to working with your
community on the landscaping plans.

Dear Ms. Marcus:

This letter is a reply to your letter of January 26, 2005, and the information which you
enclosed from Andy Hertel. Horseshoe Acres Club, Inc. is definitely interested in
pursuing grant funds for landscaping purposes. The homeowners association has hired
Wayne Villavaso Landscape Architecture, Inc. to draw a landscape plan for our border
along Northlake Boulevard including the east and west side of Kelso Drive. Mr.
Villavaso will meet with the association in the next few weeks to submit his ideas and
then follow through with an appropriate plan. Please forward the information that we
need to me at my home address stated above.
Also, please be advised that the association has entered into discussions with Christ
Fellowship about what the church would be willing to do to minimize the impact of the
church expansion on our community. We strongly believe that the speed limit on
Northlake Boulevard should be reduced and traffic lights installed in order to provide for
public safety. In reviewing the expansion plans with the church representatives, we were
apprised of an additional three lane driveway on to the church property which will
provide entry and exit for the substantial amount of traffic created by the expansion. This
additional driveway will be built directly across Northlake from Horseshoe Acres. We
are distressed about the impact the church expansion will have on our quality of life
especially in view of what we are presently enduring from the existing church. We
would appreciate any support and assistance that you may be able to provide in this
matter.
Please call me at home at 622-0532 or work at 434-8015 if you have any questions. I
look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Diane Mahar

I live in the Hunt Club which is adjacent to the Christ Fellowship Church's North Campus
facility. I can't tell you how many times that I have barely escaped being hit by
drivers on their way to attend some function at the Church. Our turn lane is
barely usable. I have difficulty, at times, going East because of fast moving Eest bound
cars turning in front of my waiting car to get into the entrance lane of the "church".
And it is one vehicle after another to the extent that they turn in front of me and also
to the right side (sticking out into the Northern most East bound lane) and also behind
me basically blocking an exit onto Hunt Club Drive. They stack up waiting for West bound
traffic to clear so they can enter the church parking facility. Because these vehicles are
moving quickly and I am stopped in the median, I have little chance of entering the East

bound lanes of Northlake during ''churchtt functions. This is another traffic concern That
is rarely discussed and it is an accident waiting to happen.
I share the concerns of my fellow neighbors and those of neighboring communities. We
are being bombarded with people, noise, traffic and unruly, beer drinking teenagers
sneaking into our neighborhood. These teenagers pretend to attend church but in reality
they sneak out of their teen meetings and into our Hunt Club Community park, drink
beer, cause vandalism and scare our young children to the extent that we are concerned
and frightened to send our children to play in our own park when "church" servcies are
being conducted. Now this 'khurchlt (really a huge business enterprise that pay no taxes
with their pastor & other officers living in million dollar plus homes) is wanting to expand
by adding an additional 150,000+ square foot facility and 125 new jobs. The problems
caused by this planned expansion, in addition to the known traffic, noise, vandalism
and crime problems the current facility causes, will only be exacerbated if you allow this
expansion. This expansion, without doubt, will irreparably decrease our property values,
reduce the high quality of life that we have come to expect from Palm Beach Gardens,
increase traffic congestion, accidents and crime. Do your job. Protect us from the
commercialization of our neighborhood and a decrease in the high quality of life we very
much love and expect in Palm Beach Gardens.
Enough is enough. You have been elected to run our city in a way that is both responsible
and in a way that provides a benefit to the majority of your constituents. You are
charged with the responsibility to positively control growth and you should and will be
held accountable. Just look at the traffic, concerns and other
considerations surrounding the Scripts location. Everyone affected by the location of
that facility is concerned with traffic and crime. I believe that there will be nearly as
many people leaving the church's facility as there will be people entering and leaving
the Scripts facility. The problem is that the l'churchlt is in a family neighborhood. At
least Scripts will be in a commercial or rural area. This "church" says they have nearly
10,000 families as members, Think of the impact to our community if they are allowed to
grow by another 150,000+ square fee, at their Northlake facility. They have grown to
the WelIington/RoyaI Palm Beach area and also conduct services in a theater at City
Place. Are all of those people now going to come to the Northlake facility? Thousands
and thousands of additional people coming into our neighborhoods many times each week
will cause a major problem for everyone. There has to be a better location than our
neighborhood for this "churcht' so that all of their members can attend in one massive
facility.
I have no personal problem with the church growing. I am just opposed to the fact that
they are attempting to grow to such gigantic size in our suburban neighborhood. The
church should be allowed to expand as much as their congregation and finances will allow,
5/10/2005
Message Page 3 of 3
but only in Q more commercially zoned area where their growth will not have an
adverse impact on local communities and neighborhoods.
AS our elected representatives, I sincerely ask you to recognize that this ''church'' is no
longer a normal church but a huge business enterprise that needs to be relocated to a
more business and commercial friendly location. I understand that this Yhurchl' has not
kept their word when they petitioned the city to build the existing facility. If true, what
can we expect next.
I ask for your consideration to those of us who are not members of this "church".
Members, obviously have no problem with the expansion or look past the problems that it
will cause. Please come up with an alternate site so we do not have the equivalent of
a Scripts facility or a teen age rehabilitation facility or a college campus, literally, in our
back yard.
Thank you.

Subject: Christ Fellowship Expansion
I am a local attorney, mother, wife, and resident of the Hunt Club. I share the deep concerns of many residents in the
Northlake Blvd area, close to Christ Fellowhip about the huge expansion they seek.
There is no doubt that building a 100K+ square foot facility in our back yard will irreparably disrupt our quiet, suburban
way of life. It will decrease our property values, increase traffic congestion, and raise crime.
Unfortunately, we have had several teenagers from Christ Fellowship sneak into our development when they are
supposed to be at meetings, to drink beer and party at the playground, where our small children play. Christ Fellowship
has met with us about this, and even given us the names of the teenagers doing it, but obviously they will be powerless
to stop it. And, with more people attending, this will only increase.
They have eliminated our turning lane into the Hunt Club. When I turn into my development, there are people going 65
miles per hour right on my tail and I am terrified that one of these days I am going to get slammed. Be certain that if
and when that happens to any member of my community, I will keep a copy of this email as notice to you all for purposes
of future litigation.

As our elected representatives, I sincerely ask you to recognize that they are no longer a church but a megaloplis that
belongs in a commercial area. Please come up with an alternate site so we do not have the equivalent of a college
campus, literally, in our back yard.
Thank you.

Subject: Petition PUD-03-0 1 - Christ Fellowship Expansion
Unfortunately I can not attend the Public Hearing on the expansion plans for Christ
Fellowship. As I resident of Cypress Hollow Development I would to raise my strong
objections to any further expansion on the existing site. I have learned to live with the
noise fiom the campus (particularly loud with kids on Wednesday) and the flashing
police cars on Northlake (my friends always ask if there has been an accident). However
there is a limit to what that property and its neighbors can tolerate.
I would like your staff to go back to the first public hearing in
Dwyer High School on the initial expansion plans and review the statements made by the
church about future plans. There were quite a lot of untruths in that meeting with the
most significant concerning traf’fic. The Church stated that cars came equally fiom the
east and west (5060) yet independent studies stated otherwise (90% fiom the East and
10% hm the West) which is reality. They stated they had no immediate expansion plans
even though their marketing booklet showed an enlarged campus. They stated there
would be limited use of the South Campus and certainly no shuttle vans which is not the
case.
The preliminary vote at that hearing was 4-1 against primarily due to size (Mega-Church
was the term used) in a residential area. That was later reversed to 3-2 in favor at a later
hearing.
My key point is “enough is enough”. . .we are still talking about a residential area with a
Mega-Church. They like to compare themselves to St. Ignatius, Trinity Methodist and/or
St. Marks. But they all seat much less than a thousand people and do not need policeman
after every service to exit the cars. I can live with what we got but no more expansion on
this site.

CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS
CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING
September 29, 2005
The September 29, 2005 Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, was called to order at 7:08 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal
Complex, located at 10500 North Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, by Mayor
Russo, and opened with the pledge of allegiance.
ROLL CALL: The City Clerk called the roll and the following elected officials were found
to be in attendance: Mayor Russo, Vice Mayor Jablin, Councilmember Levy,
Councilmember Valeche, and Councilmember Barnett.
ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, MODIFICATIONS:
Councilmember Barnett indicated she had a problem with the item of appointing people to
boards being on tonight’s agenda. Based on prior discussions, she requested postponement to
the next City Council/Manager meeting so they can discuss whether to have Council
liaisons, how to go through the candidates, and how many people to have on the boards.
Following discussion, consensus was to keep this item on the agenda.
ITEMS OF RESIDENT INTEREST:
Councilmember Barnett indicated her idea for affordable housing in new development was to
consider 10% of the units at 10% under the offering price, holding mortgages at half the
national average for City employees, Fire, Police, and teachers who worked in Palm Beach
Gardens, possibly done by a lottery. She stated she would like staff to look into this. Mayor
Russo reported Commissioner Marcus had asked members of the affordable housing task
force to find out if their Councils were in support of inclusionary zoning. Mayor Russo
reported from discussions with John Bills and Dan Catafumo, they would both be interested
in adding workforce housing, limited to apartments, and they could not do anything with
them for 50 years, assuring affordable housing for 50 years. Senior Planner Kara Irwin made
a presentation on affordable housing. Mayor Russo requested Council members speak with
staff to understand the different creative techniques for affordable housing and discuss it at
the next meeting. Councilmember Levy reported attending the Loxahatchee River
Management Coordinating Council meeting which had voted to support a resolution stating
that the Palmar District would not do anything that would adversely affect the river.
Councilmember Levy expressed his opinion that the Palmar Water Control District Board
would be dissolved, and recommended the City Council take no action as they were not
directly affected. Councilmember Valeche introduced Gus Constantine, who was going to
speak during public comment. Mr. Constantine lived in the Lake Catherine development and
he and all his neighbors were paying $400 a year higher insurance premiums as their zip
code was 33403, Lake Park, even though they lived totally within the City of Palm Beach
Gardens. This complaint had been lodged with the Department of Insurance, and hopefully it
would get changed by Nationwide Insurance. Mayor Russo introduced the City’s lobbyist,
and reported he had gone to Washington and hoped to get some money to help the City since
FEMA had not reimbursed for rubbish removal after the hurricanes, and bills were being
introduced to change that. Mayor Russo reported the City had been working on a plan to
place some individuals displaced by Hurricane Katrina into the hospitality industry. Mayor
Russo reported John Bills had requested the City abandon the art impact fees and donate that
to Hurricane Katrina victims. Vice Mayor Jablin indicated he was reluctant to set such a
precedent. Consensus of Council was not to use impact fees for this purpose. Mayor Russo
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 9/29/05 2
reported a resident of Plat 4, Mr. Sutter, had brought the Mayor his deed restriction which
almost mirrored the proposed ordinance on maintenance of houses, and asked that other plats
be researched to see if they also had those same deed restrictions. Mayor Russo reported he
had attended parades this week, welcomed the new Rabbi at Temple Beth David, and that
there would be a groundbreaking Sunday on Rev. Ray’s new church.
CITY MANAGER REPORT:
City Manager Ferris reported an update on removal of trees at the Borland property. City
Forester Mark Hendrickson reported he had inspected the site twice this week and found
there were no violations, and advised that the trees removed were going to be replaced.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Gus Constantine, Lake Catherine, thanked Councilmember Valeche for his efforts to resolve
the insurance problem, and asked the Council for help and support. Councilmember Valeche
reported there were 50 business days from September 13 for Nationwide to respond. Vito
DeFrancesco, Shady Lakes, stated he had reported signs along PGA Boulevard to code
enforcement, had asked his name not to be used but got a call from Officer Perry Davis, and
complained that his name had been used after he asked that it not be. Mr. DeFrancesco
thanked the Mayor for going to the site and reported all the signs were removed the next day.
Eileen Tucker, Shady Lakes, reported she had called Commissioner Marcus for
synchronization of the lights on PGA Boulevard which was going to be done in a month, and
expressed her opinion the City should do this.
CONSENT AGENDA: Vice Mayor Jablin moved approval of the consent agenda.
Councilmember Levy seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous 5-0 vote.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Part I – Quasi-judicial Mayor Russo announced the procedure that would be followed in the
quasi-judicial cases. The City Clerk swore in all those intending to offer testimony in any of
the quasi-judicial cases.
Resolution 120, 2005 - Downtown at the Gardens site plan amendment. A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida approving an amendment to the site
plan approval for Downtown at the Gardens located within the Regional Center DRI/PCD, as
described more particularly herein, to modify certain conditions of approval; to defer some
elements of the Lake Improvement Plan, removing the Children’s Garden; modifying the
hardscape and landscape to coincide with the newly-approved architectural theme; removing
the video wall sign; adding a right-out exit point onto Gardens Parkway; adding unused
remaining DRI entitlements of 1,032 square feet of office space to the subject site; providing
for waivers; providing for conditions of approval; and providing an effective date. The City
Clerk read Resolution 120, 2005 by title only. Ex-parte communication was reported:
Councilmember Barnett reported speaking with Mr. Menin and Mr. Jacoby, and touring the
site. Councilmember Levy reported touring the site with Greg Menin and speaking with Don
Hearing regarding changes. Councilmember Valeche had met with Rob Jacoby and Don
Hearing and toured the site. Vice Mayor Jablin reported he also toured the site with Mr.
Jacoby and Mr. Hearing. Mayor Russo reported he toured the site about a month ago. Mayor
Russo declared the public hearing open, held on the intent of Resolution 120, 2005.
Donaldson Hearing presented the project with requested waivers and other changes. Vito
DeFrancesco, Shady Lakes, reported he had given City Council two pieces of paper, on one,
the applicant had indicated that they were entitled to extra square footage because it was in
the DRI, and it was going to be used for office space and not research space; and the other
paper was the City Engineer’s recommendation. Mr. DeFrancesco pointed out other waivers
that were within the Resolution but not reported. Sue Ellen Grove, Magnolia Street, stated
she did not see why the City should give in to so many waivers and parking spaces should
not be a reduced size. Hearing no further comments from the public, Mayor Russo declared
the public hearing closed. Planning Manager Talal Benothman addressed Mr. DeFrancesco’s
comments by pointing out attachments to the staff report where the waivers he mentioned
had been listed. Councilmember Valeche requested the code be amended so that parking
space sizes did not have to be given waivers all the time. Mayor Russo explained if 9-1/2’
spaces were in the code they could be done under straight zoning. Vice Mayor Jablin moved
approval of Resolution 120, 2005. Councilmember Levy seconded. Mr. DeFrancesco stated
he had the right to cross examine. Mayor Russo re-opened the public hearing. Mr.
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 9/29/05 4
DeFrancesco asked what the office space being proposed for the entitlement would be used
for, and the difference in parking requirements for professional office and research office
space. Councilmember Valeche asked if there was a slash missing between the words
research and office. Mr. Hearing advised that in this DRI the entitlement was research
office/medical. The City Attorney advised that specific statements made during direct were
all that could be asked about. Mr. DeFrancesco asked a question regarding an issue that had
not been previously stated, and was cautioned to ask only regarding what had been testified
to. Mr. DeFrancesco commented the City Engineer had stated he would prefer to have the
conditions of the LDR set up for parking; he was not in favor of the smaller spaces or the
long diamonds. The next question was how much open space was gained from saving space
on parking spaces. Response was the code required an additional 1-1/2 square feet per square
foot of asphalt that was saved to be provided in additional open space beyond the
requirement of the code; the requirements for landscaping and open space were substantially
exceeded and the applicant met the code requirement and the test for that waiver. Mr.
DeFrancesco asked if the City was getting more than they were losing in parking spaces. Mr.
Hearing responded the waiver had been found consistent with City code by staff. Mr.
DeFrancesco made comments that had not been previously testified to. Mr. DeFrancesco
asked that Paul Auerbach help him. The City Attorney indicated that people who had
participated were allowed to cross examine. Mayor Russo indicated he was very frustrated.
Councilmember Levy advised 93 parking spaces would result in193.5 additional square feet.
The City Clerk swore in Paul Auerbach. Mr. Auerbach asked to be shown the additional
space on the site plan. Mr. Hearing responded the project required 15% of open space; they
had an excess of 25% open space and it was provided throughout the site plan, plus the
applicant had agreed to landscape on Alternate A1A outside the obligation of their original
approval. Mayor Russo declared the public hearing closed. Vice Mayor Jablin made a
motion to approve Resolution 120, 2005. Councilmember Levy seconded. During discussion
of the motion Councilmember Levy noted if the second waiver was granted two parking
spaces would be lost, but parking requirements would still be met. Motion passed by
unanimous 5-0 vote.
Resolution 144, 2005 - Consideration of a residential sign package for Cielo Homes. A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida approving a
master amenities plan and signage plan for the residential portion of Donald Ross Village
Planned Unit Development (PUD) generally bounded by Donald Ross Road to the North,
Central Boulevard to the West, and Military Trail to the East, as more particularly described

the property appraiser and tax collector within three (3) days after its adoption; and
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 9/29/05 5
providing an effective date. AND Ordinance 24, 2005 – (2nd reading and adoption) Adopting
FY 2006 budget. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida adopting a budget for the City of Palm Beach Gardens for the Fiscal Year
commencing October 1, 2005, and ending September 30, 2006; and providing an effective
date. The City Clerk read Resolution 96, 2005 and Ordinance 24, 2005 by title only. Finance
Director Allan Owens provided the staff presentation and reviewed the procedure to be
followed. Comparison of the City’s tax rate with those of other cities was presented. Mayor
Russo declared the public hearing open. Lou Satriano, resident of Lake Catherine, requested
budget information be provided at the meetings, indicated he did not know about the budget
workshops, and asked what comprised the money that came in. Mayor Russo advised this
hearing was for comments, not questions. Mr. Satriano expressed his opinion that property
tax should be on square footage of the house and acreage. Robert Davis, M.D., 118 Orchid
Cay, accepted the numbers but felt current money should not be put into reserves since there
would be four large revenue producing properties on the books next year and money should
be used to reduce taxes. Dr. Davis expressed his opinion that the employee pension plan
should not be defined benefit and a 401K would be much better; and he did not agree with
the Sunshine Law. Douglas Virgillo, 9130 Cypress Hollow Drive, commented he and a lot of
people did not know about the budget workshops, and since he was not under the 3% cap his
tax bill increased 47% and would cost $6,000 per year based on this budget, and this was the
first year he was here, and how could he afford to pay this, which was a real issue, and he
was very upset and asked why there were not re-assessments so that taxes were distributed
more evenly. Tom Sosey, 149 Bent Tree, commented his principal concern was that not
enough thought was given to future fiscal soundness, and suggested Councilmembers
prioritize how tax revenues would be spent each year, and outlined a plan. Mr. Sosey urged
adoption of a 5.900 millage rate as proposed by Councilmember Barnett and build reserves
back up as proposed by Councilmember Valeche, and suggested adopting last year’s budget
for a period of time to work out the details. Michael O’Rourke, Palm Beach Gardens Youth
Athletic Board, requested the Parks and Recreation Department budget not be cut, because of
the children. Jeff Mickle, stated he was not a resident but worked here for Taylor Woodrow,
and advised there were not enough building inspectors to cover all the inspections timely.
Jimmy Casto, home builder in the City for 44 years, advised the building department needed
more help and felt no one should be cut from that department or their benefits reduced, and
requested building department personnel be increased. Sue Ellen Grove commented all the
new homes should provide enough revenue not to raise taxes, and reported costs were
increased according to rules which were not always logical, expressed concern about the
employment retirement program, and stated she did not know about the budget workshops.
Bob O’Dell, Police Benevolent Association, advised taxes were what paid police officers
and employee salaries and they could not afford to live in the city now, and he lived in the
county and paid $6,000 in taxes himself; and asked that the general employees’ benefit
packages be looked at because a lot of them could not afford to live anywhere. Bob
Brockman, Ilex Circle South, asked that cuts not be made to the recreation budget, since that
was a way to keep children occupied. Mr. Brockman stated he was a remodeling contractor
and understood the building department issues, and commented the inspectors were worked
pretty hard, and asked that cuts not be made in that area. Eileen Tucker commented staff
benefits for general employees was proposed to go from 8% to 14% and that was unheard of,
and clarified she was not including fire or police. Ms. Tucker asked if there was anything in
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 9/29/05 6
the budget that the City was not sure they would really do, to take it out now. Sid Dinerstein,
St. George Place, commented on a County Commission meeting where they were able to
make budget cuts from places that did not have to increase taxes, and expressed
disappointment that staff did not provide alternatives to cutting personnel, who now had to
live in Port St. Lucie. Joel Brier, Professional Firefighters and Paramedics of Palm Beach
County, representing the City, asked the Council not to reduce this budget because that
would reduce services, and explained the different programs in the budget. Mr. Brier
commented the City was proposing to eliminate the step plan, which would place the City in
the lowest three departments in the County, and would be the only department in southeast
Florida without this plan, and asked the City to maintain the plan and direct negotiators back
to the table. Matthew Wilhite, Professional Firefighters and Paramedics of Palm Beach
County, spoke against the proposed budget cuts for the firefighters, who needed a reasonable
income to work in the City, and not to cut services. Tory Buckley expressed concerns for
possible cuts to the Parks and Recreation Department, stated he represented 3,000 residents
in the PGYAA, and they had expressed concern that the City had lost their vision, and
advised the recreation programs were one of the top 5 reasons that people came here.
Councilmember Valeche noted the Council had not had an opportunity to discuss department
budgets and should have the chance to make choices, and no cuts were proposed for the
Parks and Recreation Department. Tim Frohling indicated he supported all the employees,
commented the Recreation Department brought in a lot of money, and described the
symbolism represented on the City’s crest. Hearing no further comments from the public,
Mayor Russo declared the public hearing closed. Vice Mayor Jablin advised this budget
process began last April, described the process, and commented staff had presented a
professional budget. The Vice Mayor expressed his opinion it would do a terrible disservice
to the residents to use a shotgun approach to cut the budget at this point when it must be
adopted by the end of the month.
Vice Mayor Jablin made a motion to adopt the City Manager’s suggestion to utilize the
negotiated insurance savings of $507,528.00 to lower the millage rate to 5.928. In addition,
and not a part of the motion, the Vice Mayor suggested that all of the anticipated fines
received in the Vavrus case be put into reserves. Mayor Russo requested a note be sent to the
residents who had spoken, and commented that realtors might not be telling the true picture
where taxes were concerned. Councilmember Valeche expressed his opinion that goals and
objectives should have caps attached; agreed that no cuts should be made that were harmful
to the City; and proposed that next year a percentage of increase or decrease from this year’s
budget be set. Councilmember Valeche commented regarding the motion on the floor that he
did not want anyone to think if the millage was lowered tonight to 5.928 that was a tax cut, it
was just a windfall because of a good occurrence on the insurance front and if the millage
was left the same it would go into reserves, but real work in really looking at priorities and
things that could be cut without harm to the residents had not been done. Councilmember
Levy noted it took negotiation by staff with the insurance company, and asked staff to look
at safety programs to get better experience rates, etc., and look for things that could be cut
without harm to the residents. Councilmember Levy expressed support for the motion to
benefit the residents. Councilmember Barnett commented a very steep curve of building was
increasing revenue but expenses were increasing fast also and the revenue curve would level
out one day but expenses would not, and the only way to keep from being hurt one day was
to tighten our belts now. Councilmember Barnett expressed disappointment that the City
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 9/29/05 7
Manager and staff had not been able to come up with more ways to tighten the budget.
Councilmember Barnett discussed the list of possible cuts provided two days ago and
proposed a subsequent motion to use the additional 6% proposed to go into the general
employees pension fund to lower the millage rate to 5.90. Mayor Russo called for a second
to the original motion. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Levy. Mayor Russo called
for a second to the subsequent motion. Motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Russo made
comments, thanking everyone for the budget process and thanked Councilmember Barnett
and Councilmember Valeche for bringing new ideas. Mayor Russo recommended using the
list provided by the City Manager as a template for the future, and also starting on the next
budget next month, not next July, and expressed concern employees were not compensated
enough for their retirement. Mayor Russo expressed his opinion that residents should be
fully engaged in the budget process, but to address cuts at the eleventh hour was not the
thing to do. Councilmember Valeche respectfully disagreed that the list should be used as a
template for the future because the items were not items that should be cut, because they
would be harmful to the City. The City Manager explained how the list had been developed.
Discussion ensued. Councilmember Barnett suggested setting aside a certain percentage of
the projected new money. Mayor Russo stated he fully supported the efforts, but wanted to
come up with a plan to get where the budget needed to be. The City Attorney noted that the
motion on the floor and the law allowed the Council to amend the adopted tentative budget,
and suggested that after the vote a short recess take place to allow time to recomputed the
millage rate and change the Resolution if the motion passed. Motion passed 5-0.
Upon reconvening the meeting following the break, Finance Director Allan Owens
announced the recomputed millage rate for fiscal year 2005-2006 was 5.928 mills which
included a debt millage rate of .22 and an operating millage rate of 5.708, which is greater
than the rolled back rate of 5.2289 by 9.16%.
Vice Mayor Jablin made a motion to approve Resolution 96, 2005 setting the final millage
rate for fiscal year 2005-2006 at 5.928 mills. Councilmember Levy seconded the motion,
which carried by unanimous 5-0 vote.
Vice Mayor Jablin made a motion to approve Ordinance 24, 2005 on second and final
reading, adopting a final budget for fiscal year 2005-2006. Councilmember Levy seconded
the motion, which carried by unanimous 5-0 vote.

REGULAR MEETING
October 6, 2005
The October 6, 2005 Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, was called to order at 7:02 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal
Complex, located at 10500 North Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, by Mayor
Russo, and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence for Former Mayor
Dick Feeny, who had passed away.
ROLL CALL: The City Clerk called the roll and the following elected officials were found
to be in attendance: Mayor Russo, Vice Mayor Jablin, Councilmember Levy,
Councilmember Valeche, and Councilmember Barnett.
ITEMS OF RESIDENT INTEREST: Councilmember Levy advised at the last meeting he
had commented he would like to see the City participate more with the schools, and
suggested appointing a staff or City Council liaison to attend monthly SAC meetings, to have
a mentoring program in which the City could participate, and set up a volunteer program for
high school students to get hours at the City. Councilmember Levy announced the Dwyer
Panthers beat the Gardens Gators 20 to 16 the previous evening, and his son played for the
Dwyer Panthers. Councilmember Valeche brought to attention traffic lights on PGA
Boulevard east of the bridge and Military Trail that were out of sync. City Engineer Dan
Clark reported the signals on PGA around the flyover would be adjusted when released by
the contractor; however, there was a lawsuit which might cause delay; the signals east of the
bridge were changed for that construction, and would be re-adjusted. Vice Mayor Jablin
reported he received a call from Julie Rubins, Len Rubins’ wife, and he had spoken to her
and others about a mentoring program with the schools. Vice Mayor Jablin reported the
previous evening the Fire Department had done a demonstration at Bent Tree, and thanked
those who participated. Mayor Russo wished the Jewish community a happy and good new
year. Mayor Russo announced each individual must call Adelphia if they had lost cable
service, to get their credit. Residents in communities with Homeowner Associations should
advise their Association so the Association could get the credit if they received the bill. The
outages were not the fault of Adelphia, but were the result of a fire on a pole which burned
through all the fiber optics. Mayor Russo reported he had been interviewed by Channel 25,
who was hosting the Town Hall meeting on October 19, and hopefully Channel 25 could get
the word out so that more residents would be involved. Mayor Russo reported a baseball
player in the major leagues originally from this City wanted to host a baseball camp for kids
over the Christmas holiday, and thanked those who were participating in putting this
together. Mayor Russo reported after meeting with the City Manager he was suggesting
adding $500,000 to $750,000 or more to be allocated to reserves. FEMA was going to come
to meet with the City to discuss reimbursement for private community debris removal.

staff presenter had become ill that day and was unable to come to the meeting, so this would
be presented at a later meeting.
Light at Garden Lakes – City Engineer Dan Clark reported he met with Channing Corp, and
attempted to meet with RAM Development, and they had 30 days to come up with their

Councilmember Barnett reported conversations regarding the type of development and
structure size of the expansion with Doug Rudy, Joan Altwater, Tom Baird, and Jeff
Rumbaugh. Councilmember Levy confirmed with the applicant that the code enforcement
violation had been satisfied. Councilmember Levy reported conversations with Doug Rudy,
Don Hearing, Joe Pollock, Keith Paulus, Don Paulus, Skyler Metlis, Tom Mullins, Joan
Altwater, Jennifer Sorentrue, and Pam Sitrel regarding the nature of the project and the right
turn lane on westbound Northlake going onto Military. The City Manager noted it would be
prudent to put conversations with reporters on the record, and that all e-mails received were
a part of the City’s record. Councilmember Valeche reported receiving e-mails from
practically everybody, specifically, Joan Altwater, Tom Baird, Doug Rhudy, Pastor Mullins,
Don Hearing, Jeff Rumbaugh. Vice Mayor Jablin reported receiving e-mails from
everybody, and reported he had spoken to Doug Rhudy, Joan Altwater, Keith Paulus, Skyler

reported ex-parte conversations with the reporters—Hometown and Palm Beach Post, with
Jeff Rumbaugh, Pastor Mullins, Skyler Metlis, Doug Rhudy, and had received e-mails which
were a part of the record of the City. Donaldson Hearing provided a presentation on behalf of
the applicant and answered questions from the Council. Simultaneous services were defined;
the City Engineer discussed traffic. Attorney Tom Baird representing Northlake
Neighborhood Coalition introduced others who spoke on behalf of the Coalition: Keith
Paulus, Hunt Club Lane, who spoke against the expansion which he commented would be to
the detriment of its non-member neighbors, and Jim Park, who made a presentation
questioning the compatibility of the expansion. Attorney Baird noted the Northlake
Neighborhood Coalition had attempted to negotiate a resolution of the issues in good faith,
and advised that the agreement with the Hunt Club did not include traffic. Attorney Baird
made a presentation, concluding that his position had not changed since July 20 that the
expansion was the expansion of a non-conforming use, but if the City permitted that use,
asked that all existing conditions be maintained and enforced; that expansion of ancillary
uses be limited and the family life center be eliminated entirely, as well as the expansion of
the student ministry center. Attorney Baird also asked for recordation of a covenant running
with the land prohibiting conversion to a school and permitting the Coalition and the City to
enforce that covenant if it were breached. Attorney Baird requested a condition that prior to
the first CO the applicant shall convert the existing exclusive west-bound right turn lane into
a through lane and construct an exclusive west-bound right turn lane at the intersection of
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 10/6/05 4
Northlake and Military Trail. Attorney Baird also asked that existing conditions be
maintained, and that simulcast and or/live services to other buildings be prohibited. Attorney
Baird commented on statements made by Mr. Hearing in his presentation. Following some
discussion, Attorney Baird clarified the Coalition was opposed to expansion of the sanctuary
within the holdings--whatever they may be now or in the future, of Christ Fellowship on
Northlake Boulevard. Senior Planner Mike Sanchez requested all staff testimony and
evidence presented at first reading be entered into the record as well as the entire staff report
and Growth Management file, all e-mails and correspondence. Mr. Sanchez reminded the
Council this application involved re-zoning, master development plan approval, and
conditional use. Mayor Russo called for public comments. John Altwater, Cypress Hollow
Drive, favored keeping density low and felt no expansion should be allowed. Joan Altwater,
Cypress Hollow Drive, expressed concern regarding enforcement of conditions of approval
and requested denial based on incompatibility. Mayor Russo advised Joan Elias had
indicated she was in support of the Northlake Coalition’s position. Matilde Lanier
representing Steeplechase Property Owners Association read a statement requesting
enforcement of existing conditions and regarding incompatibility of the proposed expansion.
Don Paulus, Monterey Point Drive, reported the PGA POA Board of Governors voted to
support the Northlake Boulevard Coalition in opposition to this application because of
incompatibility and traffic issues. Carol Estrada, Riverside Drive, commented on the great
job Christ Fellowship Church did in handling traffic, commented church kitchens served a
purpose and no one could predict the building might become a school in the future, and
commented on other growth that had impacted Northlake Boulevard. Roy Allem, Hunt Club
Lane, made a point regarding the Hunt Club HOA agreement with Christ Fellowship Church
that it did not address either of the issues most important to Hunt Club homeowners, size of
the building and traffic impact, so he did not believe the agreement represented the will of
the Hunt Club homeowners. Eleanor Schweitzer, Dunbar Road, commented Christ
Fellowship was asking for a fully configured school facility and a full-service YMCA and if
passed this would be a mega-church in the middle of residential, and expressed her opinion
the request should be denied. Robert Fink, speaking as Chair of BallenIsles Community
Association Government and Community Relations Committee, agreed with Northlake
Boulevard Coalition and asked for clarification of a special event. Wayne Richards,
Woodsmere Drive, stated he sat on the Zoning Commission for Palm Beach County, and
supported the Christ Fellowship petition. Jeff Renbaum, Hunt Club attorney, reported the
agreement between Hunt Club and the church did not mean the Hunt Club was in favor of
the application, but not to object to their present application. Mr. Hearing stated the applicant
had no cross examination, but asked that the City Engineer further examine their traffic
study. Mr. Hearing and staff answered questions from City Council. The intent of the
condition prohibiting simulcast and the purpose of using busses was discussed. Mayor Russo
advised Attorney Baird had made comments regarding traffic and asked if the City could
deny a project with traffic concurrency, which was granted by the county. The City Engineer
advised he could not speak for the county but it was presented as an ancillary use. Mr. Wu
explained there had been a series of meetings regarding accessory uses. Mr. Hearing agreed
to remove all the fitness facilities, and explained the primary use of the remaining space
would be for student ministries and Sunday School class space. The applicant requested a
vote tonight. Vice Mayor Jablin indicated he was not ready to vote tonight; he did not
believe everyone had formulated in their own minds where the Council should go with this.
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 10/6/05 5
Vice Mayor Jablin stated he appreciated the offer of 20% reduction in size but he would like
to see the Coalition and the church work out a realistic reduction in square footage, and
address other issues; but the Council could limit the square footage. Mayor Russo indicated
square footage could be reduced, but it was the impact that was so important. Vice Mayor
Jablin commented there was 86,200 square feet on the north campus and the church was
proposing twice that on the northeast campus, and suggested they bring that down to
approximately 50% which would be a 32% reduction overall, which he believed was
reasonable, and that the City set limits on the ancillary uses. Councilmember Valeche
indicated he was ready to vote tonight—that progress had been made and all the information
that was going to be received had been heard. Councilmember Valeche commented the
sanctuary was the driver, and it was not being expanded, and he was comfortable the
ancillary uses were ancillary to the sanctuary, and he believed the church was within their
rights in the use of their land. Councilmember Levy commented churches and synagogues
that he had been in had kitchens but not basketball courts and he felt the gymnasium could
safely be taken off the table. Councilmember Levy’s concern was that the City be able to
enforce conditions of approval, and if there were violations that the City have the teeth to
enforce. Councilmember Barnett asked how many violations had occurred since the church
had been here. Attorney Alan Ciklin, representing the church, responded each time a notice
had been received the church had complied immediately so that there had never been a fine
or hearing. Councilmember Barnett expressed concern that the south campus was not really
an ancillary use; there had been violations in the past six weeks, they were bussing because
there was not enough parking; and if there was a problem now, what would happen with the
size tripled. Councilmember Barnett stated that from her research of the law, maintaining the
quality of residential neighborhoods was one of the primary duties of municipal government
and she believed there was a substantial negative impact to surrounding communities.
Councilmember Levy indicated he believed there would be a surge after the service and the
rest would trickle out, and equated this to his own temple only on a much larger scale. Vice
Mayor Jablin commented that was hopeful, but thought this should not be done without
careful deliberation. Councilmember Valeche indicated he was comfortable and ready to
vote with the 20% reduction offered by the applicant. Mr. Hearing stated they had no other
development plans. Mr. Wu advised that staff would have a hard time consolidating the
agreement with the Hunt Club into the resolution tonight since there had not been much time
for review. Vice Mayor Jablin asked if the fact that the Hunt Club agreement was not going
to be recorded meant anything. Applicant’s counsel explained the private agreement could be
incorporated into the ordinance. City Attorney Tatum advised she had only seen a draft copy
of the agreement and therefore would not make any representations to the City that she had
reviewed the 56 conditions and could not recommend whether they should be included in the
City’s legal document. Mayor Russo commented the City must look at those conditions to be
sure residents had not entered into an agreement with conditions they could not enforce.
Councilmember Levy indicated it was critical to know how long it took the parking lot to
empty. The applicant volunteered to meet with the residents quarterly to discuss traffic and
make any possible improvements. Mr. Wu indicated staff was encouraged by the offer of
20% reduction in square footage. Attorney Baird requested review of the alternative site
plan. City Attorney Tatum suggested since there were four different items before the Council
tonight, two pertaining to the south campus which had not been discussed tonight; also with
regard to the north campus the ordinance transferred all the conditions to the resolution, just
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR MEETING, 10/6/05 6
rezoning the additional 20 acres, so that Ordinance 18, 2004, Ordinance 19, 2005, and
Resolution 84, 2005 could be voted on, and Resolution 83, 2005 postponed until a date
certain until a new site plan could be submitted. The applicant requested all items be voted
on. City Attorney Tatum indicated it was another option to postpone everything. Discussion
ensued. Mayor Russo expressed concern regarding the impact to residents and that things
were no better than six weeks ago. Consensus of Council was to bring this back to the
regular Council meeting on November 3. Councilmember Levy made a motion to postpone
Ordinance 18, Resolution 83, 2005, Ordinance 19, and Resolution 84, 2005 to a date certain
of November 3, 2005. Councilmember Valeche seconded the motion, which carried by
unanimous 5-0 vote.

and 6 a.m., and asked if that sign had been there a long time. Vice Mayor Jablin made a

BACKGROUND
Site Background
On October 9, 1979, the City’s Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee approved a site plan for a
retail building on 3.17 acres located at the northeast comer of Keating Drive and Northlake Boulevard.
Subsequently, the City Council adopted Resolution 73, 1998 thereby approving an amendment to the
previously approved site plan to allow for a liquor store and a general retail store (Nutrition S’Mart) on
the subject site.

S’Mart site were submitted to and approved by the City in the 2005 calendar year. The three (3) special

2005.

Resolution 11 3,2005
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 6-1 of the City Charter, the City Engineer “shall be appointed and
removed in the sole discretion of the City Council with such appointments and removals
being based upon merit and fitness alone.”
LBFH, Inc. was selected by the City Council in 1979 to serve as the City Engineer, and has
continued in that capacity for the past twenty-six years, with annual renewals of the
agreement with the City. LBFH, Inc. currently employs approximately 180 persons and is
assisting the City by providing a variety of skills and services in Growth Management,
Public Works, Recreation, Administration, and with the Gardens Science and Technology
Com mu n ity .
LBFH is proposing for Council consideration a three-year agreement rather than an annual
renewal. This agreement contains no rate increase for the first year, but provides for
automatic increases in year two and three, tied to the Consumer Price Index published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Miami/Ft Lauderdale Region.
The agreement envisions that LBFH will provide general engineering services as the City
Engineer, services which are defined by Florida Statutes as “continuing engineering
services.” The agreement also clarifies that the City may, during the term of the
agreement, solicit additional engineering services through the “Consultants’ Competitive
Negotiation Act” (CCNA), Section 287.055, Florida Statutes.
This Resolution also approves Work Authorization CS-0001 for general engineering
services in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00.

Page 2 of 3
At several recent Council meetings, including the Council-Manager meeting on October IO,
2005, there were discussions concerning the structure of the City’s boards and committees
created by Ordinance 17, 2004.
At least two issues were mentioned in the Council’s recent discussions: 1) the appointment
process for board and committee vacancies and 2) Council liaisons.
These issues are discussed separately below.
1. Appointment of Members
Prior to June of 2004, the regulations relating to boards and committees were found in
Chapters 2, 46, and 78 of the Code of Ordinances. In an effort to establish uniform
procedures for all boards and committees, the various separate sections were repealed in
their entirety, and a new consolidated section was created.
The current procedure for appointment of members is established in Section 2-86 of the
Code of Ordinances. At the Council-Manager meeting, several suggestions were made,
including elimination of staff recommendations, separate meetings to review applications,
and one-on-one briefings before appointments. If the Council wishes to modify the
process, this section would need to be amended.
Section 2-86 provides:
Except as otherwise provided in this Code, appointments on boards and
committees shall be made at a regular city council meeting in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1)Vacancies in the board or committee membership shall be filled by
appointment of an alternate member by the city council for the unexpired term
of the member affected. If two vacancies occur at the same time, the second
vacant seat shall be filled by the second alternate.
(2) The city clerk shall provide the list of volunteers, including current members
who seek reappointment, to the staff liaison for review and recommendation.
(3) The list of qualified volunteers, the attendance and voting records, and the
recommendations of the staff liaison shall be placed on the council agenda for
cons id era t io n .
(4)The city council may interview board and committee members who desire
reappointment and volunteers from the city clerk’s list.
(5) The city council shall, in public session, select the person needed to fill such
vacancy.
Date Prepared: October 20,2005
Meeting Date: November 3,2005
Page 3 of 3
2. Council Liaisons
Section 2-86 of the Code as it existed prior to June of 2004 provided:
Sec. 2-86 Role of council liaison
If a council liaison is appointed to the board, the council liaison shall be a
nonvoting member and shall not serve as a member on subcommittees. The
council liaison shall assist the board in setting goals and objectives and ensure
that all applicable codes and laws are adhered to. The council liaison shall
provide updates at city council meetings on the board’s accomplishments and
needs as well as communicate the council’s desires to the board. The council
liaison shall allow the board to proceed with agenda discussion items without
comment, however, shall act as a resource to the board on questions
concerning council policy.
However, Section 2-87 contained a somewhat contradictory provision that stated that the
“chairperson shall preside at the board meetings, be the official spokesperson for the
board, and the formal liaison between the board and the city council and city
administration. “ That same provision was carried over in Ordinance 17,2004 as the new
Sec. 2-92
At the Council-Manager meeting, several suggestions were made, including a desire for
better communication between the Council and the Boards, no liaison for the Planning,
Zoning, and Appeals Board, as well as a discussion of whether liaisons should be rotated.
If the Council wishes to re-establish council liaisons, it would be appropriate to either create
a new section or to amend Section 2-89, as well as modify the chairperson/liaison provision
of Sec. 2-92.

Resolution 120,2004 & Resolution 121,2004
BACKGROUND
Council unanimously approved on first reading Ordinance 17, 2004, amending the city advisory
boards and committees.
During first reading, Council discussed changing Section 2-96 (b) of the general procedures in
Ordinance 17,2004, to indicate that any member of the planning. zoning and appeals board who is
absent from four (4) consecutive regular meetings or 25% of regular meetings in a twelve (1 2) month
period would automatically be removed as a member of the board. Currently, the ordinance reads
that any member of the planning, zoning and appeals board who is absent six (6) consecutive regular
meetings or 25% in a twelve month period would automatically be removed. This change to the
Ordinance would have to be read into the record as part of Council’s motion to adopt the Ordinance
on second reading,
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission) held a public hearing on May 25,2004 and
recommended approval with four changes to Ordinance 17,2004 to the City Council with a vote of
5-1. Commissioner Michael Panczak voted against approval of Ordinance 17, 2004. The
Commission proposed the following changes to the subject ordinance:
Limit the members to one-year terms. Ordinance 17,2004 proposes two-year terms.
Eliminate the six-year maximum number of years that a member can serve on the Commission.
Ordinance 17,2004 proposes a six-year maximum after which a member is eligible to re-apply
for appointment to the Commission provided a waiting period of one year has passed.
Substitute the six consecutive absences with four after which a member is automatically removed
fiom the Commission. Ordinance 17,2004 proposes six consecutive absences or 25% of all
meetings of an entire year.
Retain the function of reviewing site plans and architecture associated with said plans.
Ordinance 17, 2004 does not propose to take this function away from the Commission as an
interim measure at this time.
Regarding each point above, staff believes the following:
0
0
Two-year terms are appropriate and would provide continuity on each board and committee.
The proposed one-year waiting period for any member who has served for six years on a board or
committee before applying again for an appointment affords an opportunity for other
applicants/City residents to serve on a board or committee. The existing language in the Code
limits the maximum number of years to be served to six years, but a member may serve for
additional years if granted a waiver by the City Council.
2
Staff agrees with the Commission on reducing the six consecutive absences to four because six
absences are excessive and can be disruptive to the Commission as a whole. The City Council
also directed staff to reduce it to four during the City Council’s review of Ordinance 17,2004 on
First Reading.
0 Ordinance 17,2004 does not propose to take the function of reviewing individual site plans and
architecture from the Commission at this time. However, staff will be reviewing the Code and
proposing to make amendments to it to permit staff to review and armrove site plans within
Planned Unit Developments WDs) and Planned Communitv Developments (PCDs) as soon as
time allows. The obiectives will be to eliminate between three to four months of the review and
approval process. use staff time more efficientlv by not having to prmare agenda items for the
Commission and the Citv Council, and to differentiate between policv and implementation. The
Citv Council reviews and approves PUDs and PCDs because they involve Dolicy decisions,
whereas site plans within PUDs and PCDs are the implementation of such policy so long as they
are consistent with the desin widelines and development orders.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Ordinance 17,2004 on second reading, amending the city advisory boards and
committees, to establish general policies and procedures, and to update the purpose, powers
and duties, and membership criteria for such boards and committees.
In addition, staff recommends approval of companion Resolutions 120 and 121,2004 creating
the Education Advisory Committee and the Budget Oversight Committee, respectively.

Date Prepared: May 4,2004
Meeting Date: May 20,2004
Ordinance 17,2004
Resolution 120,2004 & Resolution 121,2004
BACKGROUND
During the Council Meeting on April 1,2004, Council discussed staff’s recommendations provided
in response to Council’s directives concerning the City advisory boards and committees, including
improvements to the liaison system and the board process as a whole. Attachment 1 is an executive
summary of the rmort discussed. There was Council consensus for having staff to serve as the
liaisons to internal boards and special project committees. For those boarddcommittees that did not
already have staff liaisons, the City Manager has appointed staff, as shown on Attachment 2, the
updated liaisons chart. In addition, there was also Council consensus directing staffto bring back the
necessary ordinance and resolutions to amend the boards and committees program, as well as to
establish an updated and clear purpose, duties and membership information for each board and
committee. Based on Council’s feedback on April 1,2004, staff prepared the attached proposed
ordinance and resolutions according to the approach summarized below.
PART I: ESTABLISH GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ALL BOARDS
The proposed new Article within the Code of Ordinances deletes the twovision for council
liaisons for internal boards and committees, and for consistency, efficiency and effectiveness
purposes standardizes the organizational and operational procedures which will Dertain to all
boards and committees, highlighted as follows:
1. Distinauishes between a board and a committee bv definition. Boards will be created by
ordinance, to exist on an on-going basis in order to advise council on any function of the city.
Committees will be created by resolution, to exist for a specific period of time in order to advise
council on an item of special nature.
2. Centralizes tasks related to board and committee records maintenance. member amlication. and
amointment Drocess within the Citv Clerk’s Office. This includes maintaining a list of those
who have applied and are interested to serve as members, notification regarding term
expiratiodappointment and eligibility for reappointment. The city clerk will also maintain
attendance and voting records, minutes, audio tape recordings and records of official acts taken
by the board or committee.
3. Provides for a process for announcing and filling vacancies on boards and committees. This
includes posting notices on the city’s website and in city buildings and publishing ads at least
five days prior to the date at which city council may interview candidates to fill vacancies. The
proposed ordinance clarifies that vacancies for unexpired terms will be filled by appointment of
an alternate member, and if two vacancies occur at the same time, the second vacant seat will be
f-.
2
4. Establishes Drocedures for city council to make appointments during a regular city council
meeting, based upon obiective criteria. The staff liaison will review the list of interested
members, including current members who seek reappointment, determine if they meet the
proposed qualifications for serving on the board or committee, and prepare recommendations
regarding appointments for council to consider. During a public meeting, the council may
interview those who seek appointment or reappointment, and then make their selection@).
5. Continues the residency reauirement for board and committee members. unless otherwise
provided by ordinance or resolution. For example, on the proposed Economic Development
Advisory Board and the Budget Oversight Committee a member may own or operate a business
in the city.
6. Includes general provisions to avoid any perceived or actual conflicts of interest by addinn that
members cannot be employed bv or have any contractual relationship with the city, unless
otherwise provided by ordinance. Also added is that members can only serve on one board or
committee at anv one time: this will apply to all boards/ committees, including pension boards.
7. Establishes term limits. Members will not be allowed to serve more than six consecutive years.
To meet the intent, they must then wait one year from the date they left the board before amlvinq
to serve again.
8. Establishes for all boards the election of a chair and vice-chair during Januw each year.
9. Establishes basic rules for meetings, which will be open to the public in accordance with Florida
Sunshine Laws, with minutes and audio tape recordings of such meetings. Members will be
required to notifjl the staff liaison if they cannot attend a meeting. The proposed ordinance
eliminates the lanrmage regarding excused and unexcused absences. Along with the definition
of what constitutes a quorum, the Droposed ordinance indicates that if a CIUO~ is not Dresent,
the meeting will be cancelled.
10. Provides for staggered membership terms, and updates how members can be removed to include
that any member who is absent 25% of the regular meetings in a year will automatically be
removed.
PART 11: RE-EXAMINE EACH BOARD AND COMMITTEE
Applying the proposed standards outlined above, staff looked at each existing board and
committee. re-examined its DurDose. duties and membershb criteria, and considered whether
it should be established as a board (bv ordinance), or as a committee (by resolution). Should
Council approve, following the general requirements section of the proposed new Article in the
Code, each board will have its own section with updated information. Below is a summary of
staff's analysis of the boards and committees, and the proposed updates to them. One of the
common provisions being proposed for consistency is that the boards will be composed of seven
regular members and two alternates.
3
Art in Public Places Advisorv Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Art Advisory
Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarify its purpose which is to
promote greater public participation in and access to arts and culture in the city. In addition to
screening submissions of art work and making recommendations to city council, the board would
have the responsibilities specifically related to implementing the city’s art in public places program,
including making recommendations on site location and artwork selection, and on expenditures of
art impact fees. Membership qualification criteria have been added in an effort to include people,
when possible, with professional expertise or substantial volunteer involvement in visual,
performing or literary arts, architecture, design or urban planning, arts and cultural institution
management, or education.
Communitv Aesthetics Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Beautification and
Environmental Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarify its
purpose which is to provide recommendations to council with a broad outlook towards present and
future community improvements that aesthetically enhance the neighborhoods and open space in the
city. Prior to this update, the board was mainly responsible for the preparation of a beautification
master plan, which has been completed. The board would now have the specific responsibilities,
such as providing recommendations about public roadway beautification projects, approving
neighborhood improvement grant applications, issuing city beautificatiodenvironmental awards, and
serving as the city’s oficial “Tree Board.” Membership qualification criteria have been added in an
effort to include people, when possible, with a background related to building construction,
architecture, urban design, horticulture or landscaping.
Economic Development Advisow Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Economic
Development Oversight Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarify
its purpose which is to provide private sector insight, business expertise and recommendations to the
city to promote a balanced, diversified economic base for the city. Membership qualification
criteria have been provided in an effort to include representatives from the Business Development
Board of Palm Beach County, North Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce, PGA Corridor
Association, and value-added private sector businesses.
Parks and Recreation Advisow Board: Staff proposes to clearly define the board’s purpose in the
code, which is to advise, review information and provide public input, support and advocacy for the
future development of parks and recreation resources for the community. Membership qualification
criteria have been added in an effort to include people, when possible, with experience and interest
in many of the city’s recreation services.
Planning. Zoning and Ameals Board: Staff proposes to combine the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals into one board with a new name in the code, and to
define its purpose which is to review and make recommendations to city council on development
petitions, and hear and decide on variance requests and appeals to administrative decisions related to
the land development regulations (LDRs). The board powers and duties include making
recommendations on site plans, master site plans for planned unit developments (PUDs), planned
community developments (PCDs) and major amendments to these plans, annexation petitions and
4
zoning requests. As the Land Development Regulation Commission and the Local Planning Agency,
the board will continue to review and recommend amendments to the LDRs and Comprehensive
Plan, respectively. Membership qualification criteria have been added to require that at least one
member has a background from two specific types of professional disciplines, related to (1)
architecture or planning, and (2) engineering, law, real estate, land surveying or the environment.
Also, there will be a representative of the school district appointed by the school board as a
nonvoting member.
The board will continue to review and make recommendations on site plans as an interim measure
until staff has adequate time to study and draft amendments to the citv’s land develoDment
remlations to permit staff to review and approve individual site plans within PuDs and PCDs at staff
level. It is staff’s goal to streamline and expedite the development review and approval process for
site Dlans. This will provide staff with more responsibility and flexibility to make the technical
decisions about pro-jects based upon obiective criteria that will be established.
Education Advisorv Committee: Staff proposes changing the name of the board to make it a
committee with a clearly defined purpose, which would be to serve as advocates for improving the
quality of public education in the city. As directed by Council, this committee will be established by
resolution for one year, with clearly defined duties and meeting requirements. At the end of one
year, staff will review whether the committee has been effective and should be extended, or whether
it should stand dissolved. Like other boards and committees, membershp qualification criteria have
been proposed to include individuals with a background in the education profession and business
community. Also, staff will make an effort to involve students from the local magnet school
programs in a nonvoting capacity.
Budpet Oversight Committee: Staff proposes establishing this committee by resolution for the
specific purpose of providing citizen input to the city’s annual budget process, as has been the
practice over the past several years. Members will be appointed based upon their background
related to business, banking, finance or management, and will serve for a term of two years, which
will allow staff the opportunity to re-evaluate its effectiveness on a bi-annual basis.
BoarddCommittees Survev: To assist in the analysis process, staff sent a survey to the existing
board and committee members for their feedback and input. Attachment 3 is a summary of the
responses, which indicate a 60% rate of participation in the survey. Most members indicated that
they understood the purpose of their boardcommittee, and most would like to be considered for re-
appointment.
PART 111: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Unon Council’s armoval of the ordinance. staff will re-evaluate the existing comDosition of all the
boards and committees based upon the undated membershb criteria. Staff will also conduct a city-
wide effort to publicize the opportunity to serve on the various boards and committees. Staff will be
taking a look at updating the application form and preparing a formal orientation program which all
new members will be required to attend. As part of the program, new members will receive a
handbook which explains the Sunshine Law, voting and a guide to local government.
5
In order to start the new process in an organized manner, all seats will be considered vacant starting
October 1,2004. Members that currently serve will be eligible to submit applications along with
anvone else interested. Upon receipt of these applications, staff will bring forward a resolution for
the appointments and reappointments to the boards and committees based on the new criteria
proposed. The goal for this resolution will be to include existing and/or new members to the boards,
under the new program and based on the staggered terms proposed.
After adoption of this ordinance, all boards and committees will operate under the new code
provisions, except those provisions relating to membership. During the transition period (from the
date of adoption until October 1,2004), all current members will remain in place and all current
vacancies and amlications will be on hold. In addition, the staff liaisons will be sharing the new
code provisions with existing board and committee members during their upcoming meetings over
the next six months. The proposed changes to the Planning and Zoning Commission involve
amendments to the Land Development Regulations, which will be considered by the existing
members at their meeting on May 25,2004.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Ordinance 17,2004 on first reading, amending
the city advisory boards and committees, to establish general policies and procedures, and to
update the purpose, powers and duties, and membership criteria for such boards and
committees. No action will be taken by Council on the companion Resolutions 120 and 121,
2004 creating the Education Advisory Committee and the Budget Oversight Committee,
respectively. They will require action on second reading of the Ordinance, scheduled for June
3,2004.

Page 2 of 3
At several recent Council meetings, including the Council-Manager meeting on October IO,
2005, there were discussions concerning the structure of the City’s boards and committees
created by Ordinance 17,2004.
At least two issues were mentioned in the Council’s recent discussions: 1) the appointment
process for board and committee vacancies and 2) Council liaisons.
These issues are discussed separately below.
1. Appointment of Members
Prior to June of 2004, the regulations relating to boards and committees were found in
Chapters 2, 46, and 78 of the Code of Ordinances. In an effort to establish uniform
procedures for all boards and committees, the various separate sections were repealed in
their entirety, and a new consolidated section was created.
The current procedure for appointment of members is established in Section 2-86 of the
Code of Ordinances. At the Council-Manager meeting, several suggestions were made,
including elimination of staff recommendations, separate meetings to review applications,
and one-on-one briefings before appointments. If the Council wishes to modify the
process, this section would need to be amended.
Section 2-86 provides:
Except as otherwise provided in this Code, appointments on boards and
committees shall be made at a regular city council meeting in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) Vacancies in the board or committee membership shall be filled by
appointment of an alternate member by the city council for the unexpired term
of the member affected. If two vacancies occur at the same time, the second
vacant seat shall be filled by the second alternate.
(2) The city clerk shall provide the list of volunteers, including current members
who seek reappointment, to the staff liaison for review and recommendation.
(3) The list of qualified volunteers, the attendance and voting records, and the
recommendations of the staff liaison shall be placed on the council agenda for
consideration .
(4) The city council may interview board and committee members who desire
reappointment and volunteers from the city clerk’s list.
(5) The city council shall, in public session, select the person needed to fill such
vacancy.
Date Prepared: October 20,2005
Meeting Date: November 3,2005
Page 3 of 3
2. Council Liaisons
Section 2-86 of the Code as it existed prior to June of 2004 provided:
Sec. 2-86 Role of council liaison
If a council liaison is appointed to the board, the council liaison shall be a
nonvoting member and shall not serve as a member on subcommittees. The
council liaison shall assist the board in setting goals and objectives and ensure
that all applicable codes and laws are adhered to. The council liaison shall
provide updates at city council meetings on the board’s accomplishments and
needs as well as communicate the council’s desires to the board. The council
liaison shall allow the board to proceed with agenda discussion items without
comment, however, shall act as a resource to the board on questions
concern i ng cou n ci I pol icy.
However, Section 2-87 contained a somewhat contradictory provision that stated that the
“chairperson shall preside at the board meetings, be the official spokesperson for the
board, and the formal liaison between the board and the city council and city
administration. I‘ That same provision was carried over in Ordinance 17,2004 as the new
Sec. 2-92
At the Council-Manager meeting, several suggestions were made, including a desire for
better communication between the Council and the Boards, no liaison for the Planning,

Resolution 120,2004 & Resolution 121,2004
BACKGROUND
Council unanimously approved on first reading Ordinance 17, 2004, amending the city advisory
boards and committees.
During first reading, Council discussed changing Section 2-96 (b) of the general procedures in
Ordinance 17,2004, to indicate that any member of the planning. zoning and appeals board who is
absent from four (4) consecutive regular meetings or 25% of regular meetings in a twelve (1 2) month
period would automatically be removed as a member of the board. Currently, the ordinance reads
that any member of the planning, zoning and appeals board who is absent six (6) consecutive regular
meetings or 25% in a twelve month period would automatically be removed. This change to the
Ordinance would have to be read into the record as part of Council’s motion to adopt the Ordinance
on second readin%
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission) held a public hearing on May 25,2004 and
recommended approval with four changes to Ordinance 17,2004 to the City Council with a vote of
5-1. Commissioner Michael Panczak voted against approval of Ordinance 17, 2004. The
Commission proposed the following changes to the subject ordinance:
Limit the members to one-year terms. Ordinance 17,2004 proposes two-year terms.
Eliminate the six-year maximum number of years that a member can serve on the Commission.
Ordinance 17,2004 proposes a six-year maximum after which a member is eligible to re-apply
for appointment to the Commission provided a waiting period of one year has passed.
Substitute the six consecutive absences with four after which a member is automatically removed
from the Commission. Ordinance 17,2004 proposes six consecutive absences or 25% of all
meetings of an entire year.
Retain the function of reviewing site plans and architecture associated with said plans.
Ordinance 17, 2004 does not propose to take this function away from the Commission as an
interim measure at this time.
Regarding each point above, staff believes the following:
0
0
Two-year terms are appropriate and would provide continuity on each board and committee.
The proposed one-year waiting period for any member who has served for six years on a board or
committee before applying again for an appointment affords an opportunity for other
applicants/City residents to serve on a board or committee. The existing language in the Code
limits the maximum number of years to be served to six years, but a member may serve for
additional years if granted a waiver by the City Council.
2
0 Staff agrees with the Commission on reducing the six consecutive absences to four because six
absences are excessive and can be disruptive to the Commission as a whole. The City Council
also directed staffto reduce it to four during the City Council’s review of Ordinance 17,2004 on
First Reading.
0 Ordinance 17.2004 does not propose to take the function of reviewing individual site plans and
architecture from the Commission at this time. However. staff will be reviewing the Code and
proposing to make amendments to it to permit staff to review and approve site plans within
Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and Planned Community DevelorJments (PCDs) as soon as
time allows. The obiectives will be to eliminate between three to four months of the review and
approval process. use staff time more efficiently by not having to praare agenda items for the
Commission and the City Council, and to differentiate between policy and implementation. The
City Council reviews and approves PUDs and PCDs because they involve Dolicy decisions,
whereas site plans within PUDs and PCDs are the implementation of such policy so long as they
are consistent with the desim widelines and development orders.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Ordinance 17,2004 on second reading, amending the city advisory boards and
committees, to establish general policies and procedures, and to update the purpose, powers
and duties, and membership criteria for such boards and committees.
In addition, staff recommends approval of companion Resolutions 120 and 121,2004 creating
the Education Advisory Committee and the Budget Oversight Committee, respectively.

Date Prepared: May 4,2004
Meeting Date: May 20,2004
Ordinance 17,2004
Resolution 120,2004 & Resolution 121,2004
BACKGROUND
During the Council Meeting on April 1 , 2004, Council discussed staff's recommendations provided
in response to Council's directives concerning the City advisory boards and committees, including
improvements to the liaison system and the board process as a whole. Attachment 1 is an executive
summary of the rmort discussed. There was Council consensus for having staff to serve as the
liaisons to internal boards and special project committees. For those boarddcommittees that did not
already have staff liaisons, the City Manager has appointed staff, as shown on Attachment 2, the
u-dated liaisons chart. In addition, there was also Council consensus directing staffto bring back the
necessary ordinance and resolutions to amend the boards and committees program, as well as to
establish an updated and clear purpose, duties and membership information for each board and
committee. Based on Council's feedback on April 1,2004, staff prepared the attached proposed
ordinance and resolutions according to the approach summarized below.
PART I: ESTABLISH GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ALL BOARDS
The proposed new Article within the Code of Ordinances deletes the provision for council
liaisons for internal boards and committees, and for consistencv, efficiencv and effectiveness
purposes standardizes the orpanizational and operational procedures which will Dertain to all
boards and committees, hiehliphted as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Distinrmishes between a board and a committee by definition. Boards will be created by
ordinance, to exist on an on-going basis in order to advise council on any function of the city.
Committees will be created by resolution, to exist for a specific period of time in order to advise
council on an item of special nature.
Centralizes tasks related to board and committee records maintenance, member ar>r>lication, and
amointment Drocess within the Citv Clerk's Office. This includes maintaining a list of those
who have applied and are interested to serve as members, notification regarding term
expiratiodappointment and eligibility for reappointment. The city clerk will also maintain
attendance and voting records, minutes, audio tape recordings and records of official acts taken
by the board or committee.
Provides for a Drocess for announcing and filling vacancies on boards and committees. This
includes posting notices on the city's website and in city buildings and publishing ads at least
five days prior to the date at which city council may interview candidates to fill vacancies. The
proposed ordinance clarifies that vacancies for unexpired terms will be filled by appointment of
an alternate member, and if two vacancies occur at the same time, the second vacant seat will be
filled bv the second alternate.
2
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Establishes procedures for citv council to make appointments during a renular city council
meeting. based upon objective criteria. The staff liaison will review the list of interested
members, including current members who seek reappointment, determine if they meet the
proposed qualifications for serving on the board or committee, and prepare recommendations
regarding appointments for council to consider. During a public meeting, the council may
interview those who seek appointment or reappointment, and then make their selection(s).
Continues the residency reuuirement for board and committee members, unless otherwise
provided bv ordinance or resolution. For example, on the proposed Economic Development
Advisory Board and the Budget Oversight Committee a member may own or operate a business
in the city.
Includes general provisions to avoid any perceived or actual conflicts of interest by adding that
members cannot be emdoved bv or have any contractual relationship with the city, unless
otherwise Drovided by ordinance. Also added is that members can only serve on one board or
committee at any one time: this will apply to all boards/ committees, including pension boards.
Establishes term limits. Members will not be allowed to serve more than six consecutive years.
To meet the intent. they must then wait one Year from the date they left theboard before amlving
to serve again.
Establishes for all boards the election of a chair and vice-chair during Januarv each year.
Establishes basic rules for meetings, which will be open to the public in accordance withFlorida
Sunshine Laws, with minutes and audio tape recordings of such meetings. Members will be
required to noti@ the staff liaison if they cannot attend a meeting. The proposed ordinance
eliminates the language regarding excused and unexcused absences. Along with the definition
of what constitutes a quorum, the proposed ordinance indicates that if a auorum is not present,
the meeting will be cancelled.
10. Provides for staggered membershir, terms, and updates how members can be removed to include
that any member who is absent 25% of the regular meetings in a year will automatically be
removed.
PART 11: RE-EXAMINE EACH BOARD AND COMMITTEE
Applying the proposed standards outlined above, staff looked at each existing board and
committee. re-examined its DurDose. duties and membershiD criteria. and considered whether
it should be established as a board (bv ordinance). or as a committee (by resolution). Should
Council approve, following the general requirements section of the proposed new Article in the
Code, each board will have its own section with updated information. Below is a summary of
staffs analysis of the boards and committees, and the proposed updates to them. One of the
common provisions being proposed for consistency is that the boards will be composed of seven
regular members and two alternates.

Art in Public Places Advisorv Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Art Advisory
Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarifL its purpose which is to
promote greater public participation in and access to arts and culture in the city. In addition to
screening submissions of art work and making recommendations to city council, the board would
have the responsibilities specifically related to implementing the city’s art in public places program,
including making recommendations on site location and artwork selection, and on expenditures of
art impact fees. Membership qualification criteria have been added in an effort to include people,
when possible, with professional expertise or substantial volunteer involvement in visual,
performing or literary arts, architecture, design or urban planning, arts and cultural institution
management, or education.
Communitv Aesthetics Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Beautification and
Environmental Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarify its
purpose which is to provide recommendations to council with a broad outlook towards present and
future community improvements that aesthetically enhance the neighborhoods and open space in the
city. Prior to this update, the board was mainly responsible for the preparation of a beautification
master plan, which has been completed. The board would now have the specific responsibilities,
such as providing recommendations about public roadway beautification projects, approving
neighborhood improvement grant applications, issuing city beautificatiodenvironmental awards, and
serving as the city’s oEcial “Tree Board.” Membership qualification criteria have been added in an
effort to include people, when possible, with a background related to building construction,
architecture, urban design, horticulture or landscaping.
Economic DeveloDment Advisorv Board: Staff proposes changing the name from the Economic
Development Oversight Committee, to establish it in the code as a board by definition, and to clarify
its purpose which is to provide private sector insight, business expertise and recommendations to the
city to promote a balanced, diversified economic base for the city. Membership qualification
criteria have been provided in an effort to include representatives from the Business Development
Board of Palm Beach County, North Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce, PGA Corridor
Association, and value-added private sector businesses.
Parks and Recreation Advisorv Board: Staff proposes to clearly define the board’s purpose in the
code, which is to advise, review information and provide public input, support and advocacy for the
hture development of parks and recreation resources for the community. Membership qualification
criteria have been added in an effort to include people, when possible, with experience and interest
in many of the city’s recreation services.
Plannine. Zonine and Ameals Board: Staff proposes to combine the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals into one board with a new name in the code, and to
define its purpose which is to review and make recommendations to city council on development
petitions, and hear and decide on variance requests and appeals to administrative decisions related to
the land development regulations (LDRs). The board powers and duties include making
recommendations on site plans, master site plans for planned unit developments (PUDs), planned
community developments (PCDs) and major amendments to these plans, annexation petitions and
4
zoning requests. As the Land Development Regulation Commission and the Local Planning Agency,
the board will continue to review and recommend amendments to the LDRs and Comprehensive
Plan, respectively. Membership qualification criteria have been added to require that at least one
member has a background from two specific types of professional disciplines, related to (1)
architecture or planning, and (2) engineering, law, real estate, land surveying or the environment.
Also, there will be a representative of the school district appointed by the school board as a
nonvoting member.
The board will continue to review and make recommendations on site plans as an interim measure
until staff has adequate time to study and draft amendments to the city’s land development
regulations - to permit staff to review and approve individual site plans within PUDs and PCDs at staff
level. It is staff’s goal to streamline and expedite the development review and approval process for
site Dlans. This will Drovide staff with more responsibilitv and flexibility to make the technical
decisions about proiects based upon obiective criteria that will be established.
Education Advisorv Committee: Staff proposes changing the name of the board to make it a
committee with a clearly defined purpose, which would be to serve as advocates for improving the
quality of public education in the city. As directed bv Council, this committee will be established by
resolution for one year, with clearly defined duties and meetinn reauirements. At the end of one
year, staff will review whether the committee has been effective and should be extended. or whether
it should stand dissolved. Like other boards and committees, membership qualification criteria have
been proposed to include individuals with a background in the education profession and business
community. Also, staff will make an effort to involve students from the local magnet school
programs in a nonvoting capacity.
Budget OversiPht Committee: Staff proposes establishing this committee by resolution for the
specific purpose of providing citizen input to the city’s annual budget process, as has been the
practice over the past several years. Members will be appointed based upon their background
related to business, banking, finance or management, and will serve for a term of two years, which
will allow staff the opportunity to re-evaluate its effectiveness on a bi-annual basis.
Boards/Committees Survey: To assist in the analysis process, staff sent a survey to the existing
board and committee members for their feedback and input, Attachment 3 is a summary of the
responses, which indicate a 60% rate of participation in the survey. Most members indicated that
they understood the purpose of their boardcommittee, and most would like to be considered for re-
appointment.
PART 111: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Upon Council’s approval of the ordinance. staff will re-evaluate the existing composition of all the
boards and committees based upon the updated membership criteria. Staff will also conduct a city-
wide effort to publicize the opportunity to serve on the various boards and committees. Staff will be
taking a look at updating the application form and preparing a formal orientation program which all
new members will be required to attend. As part of the program, new members will receive a
handbook which explains the Sunshine Law, voting and a guide to local government.
5
In order to start the new Drocess in an organized manner. all seats will be considered vacant starting
October 1,2004. Members that currently serve will be eligible to submit aDplications alonn with
anvone else interested. Upon receipt of these applications, staff will bring forward a resolution for
the appointments and reappointments to the boards and committees based on the new criteria
proposed. The goal for this resolution will be to include existing and/or new members to the boards,
under the new program and based on the staggered terms proposed.
After adoption of this ordinance, all boards and committees will operate under the new code
provisions, except those provisions relating to membership. During the transition period (from the
date of adoption until October 1,2004), all current members will remain in place and all current
vacancies and amlications will be on hold. In addition, the staff liaisons will be sharing the new
code provisions with existing board and committee members during their upcoming meetings over
the next six months. The proposed changes to the Planning and Zoning Commission involve
amendments to the Land Development Regulations, which will be considered by the existing
members at their meeting on May 25,2004.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Ordinance 17,2004 on first reading, amending
the city advisory boards and committees, to establish general policies and procedures, and to
update the purpose, powers and duties, and membership criteria for such boards and
committees. No action will be taken by Council on the companion Resolutions 120 and 121,
2004 creating the Education Advisory Committee and the Budget Oversight Committee,
respectively. They will require action on second reading of the Ordinance, scheduled for June
3,2004.

be surplus be donated to such local governments as needs are identified, and if certain
items are determined not appropriate for donation, that such items be sold at public
auction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
