PETITION SUMMARY: Proposed is the rezoning of 1.64 acres of land from the Residential High Density (RH) Zoning District to the Residential Single Family (RS) Zoning District to allow the subdivision of 4 parcels into 8 lots of approximately.20 acres each. The existing Residential High Density (RH) zoning designation of the subject property is not consistent with the property s MR-5 Future Land Use designation. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment to the Single Family Residential (RS) Zoning District will result in a zoning designation that is consistent with the property s MR-5 Future Land Use designation. Access to 4 lots will be from Limestone Creek Road, 2 lots will have access from 2nd Street and the remaining 2 lots will have access from 1st street. ISSUES SUMMARY: o Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The Planning Division has determined the request is consistent with the parcel s MR-5 land use designation of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed request is consistent with policies in the Plan pertaining to the Greenways and Linked Open Space Program.

PLANNING DIVISION COMMENTS: STAFF REVIEW AND ANALYSIS FUTURE LAND USE (FLU) PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Residential 5 (MR-5) Underlying Land Use: None CONSISTENCY WITH FUTURE LAND USE (FLU) PLAN DESIGNATION: The Planning Division has reviewed the request to rezone the site from the Multi Family Residential, High Density, (RH) Zoning District to the Single Family Residential (RS) Zoning District. Per a Planning Division letter dated November 6, 2003, a determination was made that FLUE Policy 1.2.2-a (17-FLUE) may be applied in developing this property. This would allow the property to be developed at the maximum density allowed under the MR-5 FLU designation since this density was deemed to be consistent with the existing development pattern around the site. Thus, using the acreage figure on the survey, the maximum units are calculated as follows: 1.64 ac x 5 du/ac = 8 units maximum (Per FLUE Policy 1.2.2-a) 1.64 ac x 4 du/ac = 6 units maximum (standard) Therefore, the proposed request for 8 units is consistent with the density thresholds of the Comprehensive Plan. TIER: The subject property is in the Revitalization and Redevelopment Overlay of the Urban/Suburban Tier. FUTURE ANNEXATION AREAS/ INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION: The subject site is located within the future annexation area, and within one mile, of the Town of Jupiter. As part of the public hearing notice process, Zoning Staff has notified the Town of the request. SPECIAL OVERLAY DISTRICT/NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN/PLANNING STUDY AREA: FLUE Policy 4.3-b states, Palm Beach County shall encourage the development of positive community identification and appearance by implementing unique architectural and site design themes for different areas of the County in conjunction with development of any Community or Neighborhood Plans (FLUE-76). The site is located within the Limestone Creek Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) neighborhood. This is an area that has been targeted for revitalization by the Office of Community Revitalization (OCR). As a result, the OCR has reviewed this request for consistency with CCRT recommendations and determined that this request is not inconsistent with recommendations established for this area. The subject property is also shown on the Greenways and Linked Open Space Program Map in the Comprehensive Plan as being within a "Priority County Acquisition Site". Since this site is located within the Greenways Linked Open Space Map, it is also subject to the following policies and objectives of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) such as Objective 2.5 (63-FLUE), FLUE Policy 2.5-a (64-FLUE), FLUE Policy 2.5-b (64-FLUE), and FLUE Policy 2.5-e (64-FLUE). Conservation Policy 5.1-b also states that "The County in concert with other jurisdictions shall continue to identify those portions of Conservation Greenways/Wildlife Corridors which should be purchased, and shall jointly continue to seek grant funds, negotiate life estates, conservation easements, transfer of development rights, land exchanges or fee simple acquisition if necessary to preserve vital portions of wildlife corridors (14-C)." Based on these policies, the County's Environmental Resource Management Division (ERM) was contacted as to the status of the site. In an e-mail correspondence, a 10
representative from ERM indicated that this particular site was not being considered for acquisition nor would it be required to have land set aside or have land dedicated to the County, since it is located outside of the County s acquisition horizon for the Limestone Creek Natural Area. The properties are across the street to the northwest from the Natural Area. The representative also stated that the County would not be actively seeking to acquire these properties as an addition to the Natural Area, due to their location and the inherent difficulties with managing those properties. Therefore, the proposed request is consistent with policies in the Plan pertaining to the Greenways and Linked Open Space Program. FINDINGS: The request is consistent with the parcel s MR-5 land use designation of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed request is consistent with policies in the Plan pertaining to the Greenways and Linked Open Space Program. The site is located within the Limestone Creek Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) neighborhood. This is an area that has been targeted for revitalization by the Office of Community Revitalization (OCR). The OCR has determined that this request is not inconsistent with recommendations established for this area.

SCHOOL IMPACTS: In accordance with the adopted School Concurrency Program, an application to allow the development of eight (8) single family units has been approved (concurrency case#03121502c). This property is located within Concurrency Service Area 1. (SAC011) This project is estimated to generate approximately two (2) public school students. The schools currently serving this project area are Limestone Creek Elementary, Jupiter Middle, and Jupiter High. The School District has determined, as a result of the minimal student generation for this project, that a bus shelter would not be required. The petitioner has been advised that school age children may not be assigned to the public school closest to their residences. School Board policies regarding levels of service or other boundary policy decisions may affect school boundaries. PARKS AND RECREATION: Based on the small size of the development, the developer prefers to cash out versus providing recreational amenities. CONCURRENCY: Concurrency has been approved for eight single-family dwelling units. FINDING: The request is in compliance with Article 2.F (CONCURRENCY (Adequate Public Facilities)) of the ULDC. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW EVALUATION: SITE FACTORS: A 1.64-acre site with an average width of 285 feet and an average depth of 250 feet. Access to 4 lots will be from Limestone Creek Road, 2 lots will have access from 2nd Street and the remaining 2 lots will have access from 1st street.
