Initiate the steps to revise the 2016 CRA Plan, A. Review the existing CRA plan, and B. Incorporate both the grocery store and public parking as part of that plan. 2. Look for ways that are above and beyond the normal City functions to beautify the area within the CRA District (cannot be in replacement of normal COBB duties and needs to be above and beyond). 3. Investigate means to acquire a grocery store in the Heart of Boynton. 4. Identify potential locations for a Public Parking Garage preferably along Ocean Avenue. When matters are assigned to the CRAB Board, reliance on staff should be minimized to the extent possible. Individual members of CRAB may not assign work to the CRA or City staff members. Research by the members of the Advisory Board should be done independently and with minimal support from the CRA or City staff. Once the assignment is complete and the CRAB is ready to present a report to the CRA or City Commission, the CRAB Board shall submit their report to CRA staff or the City Clerk for publishing on the next available agenda. At the December 5 meeting, the CRAB board decided to finalize their presentation to the CRA Board on their recommendations for updating the 2016 CRA Plan at the next meeting and bring their ideas and suggestions to the CRA Board meeting on January 14, 2025 (see Attachment II). All other assignments were moved to Pending Assignments, no additional action was taken at the December Meeting. 8 FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined.

Through several expansions, the area has grown to its current size of 1,650 acres. Until now, the redevelopment activities were guided by four different plans that overlapped and did not provide a focused vision for the entire CRA area. In August 2014, the City Commission and CRA Board held a Strategic Planning Initiative work session, out of which came a high priority recommendation to consolidate the existing plans with a comprehensive update that would reflect the changes in economic environment, the objectives, as well as the achievements of the previous efforts. There has been a consensus that, in spite of these significant achievements, the vision of a vibrant downtown with revitalized corridors has yet to be realized. The first phase of the consolidation—the analysis of the current conditions—confirmed this assessment and provided a base for the Plan's recommendations. The overarching goal of creating this comprehensive CRA Plan is to provide a clear and consistent vision for the CRA District and therefore predictability for new development and investment in the area. It effectively and clearly communicates the direction of the Community Redevelopment Agency and key redevelopment opportunities. It also covers areas of the CRA District that have not, in the past, had formally adopted plans. KEY FINDINGS OF THE EXISTING CONDITION ANALYSIS The Existing Condition Report and the related research yielded the following findings: Population: • A significant population growth is projected for the area by 2035: the current population of 12,000 is projected to grow by 52%, to about 18,200; • There is a significant racial and ethnic diversity: the area's profile shows approximately 52% Whites, 42% Blacks/African Americans and 12% Hispanics; • There is a high share of the elderly: nearly one-fifth of all residents are 65 or older; • The level of education is generally low: in most areas, less than 20% of population has a Bachelors' degree; • Median household income is low: below $33,000 in much of the area, as compared to about 13 $44,000 for the City as a whole and $52,000 for the Palm Beach County. Housing: • Housing stock is old: some 60% of homes were built prior to 1971. • Median values of homes in all categories are low: 78%of single-family homes and condominiums and 48% of townhomes have a taxable value below $100 K. • Housing ownership is low: at 56.1%, compared to 64% for the City as a whole and 70% for the Plam Beach County. • Some 17% of homes are used only for seasonal, recreational or occasional purposes. KEY RECOMMENDATIONS The CRA Plan is organized into six districts, identified according to their character, history, location and land use make-up: the Industrial Craft District, the Heart of Boynton District, the Cultural District, the Boynton Beach Boulevard District, the Downtown District and the Federal Highway District. Each district plan reflects a unique vision based on its role in the CRA.Achieving the vision and ultimate role of each district is facilitated by both general and specific recommendations involving topics ranging from the structure of the City's Future Land Use Classifications to the undergrounding of public utilities. Below are the three key recommendations that will have the greatest benefit to the redevelopment of the CRA. Change in the Future Land Use Structure of the Comprehensive Plan The Plan proposes changes to the existing future land use (FLU) and zoning structures. For example, the Mixed Use Core future land use classification currently allows a maximum density of 80 dus/acre,and the Mixed Use classification allows a maximum density of 40 dus/acre. The Plan proposes to establish a third mixed-use classification to fill this intensity gap. This action will facilitate a more appropriate transition in land use densities and intensities characteristic of the newly recognized Districts, and allow the establishment of secondary activity centers called nodes, to support redevelopment of Town Square, property at the future rail station and at Woolbright Road and Federal Highway. Application of the Complete Streets design principles The Plan proposes the redesign of most major streets within the CRA according to the Complete Streets design principles in order to implement the connectivity and walkability objectives of the Plan. Achieving this objective is critical to the Plan's success which depends on the interconnection of planning districts in a CRA that occupies over 1,600 acres consisting of all types of land uses and varying land use densities and intensities. By building complete streets throughout the CRA, the ideal circulation system will be established to accommodate residents, workers, commuters and visitors traveling within the downtown. These principles will be applied to both public improvements as well as private development to ensure that adequate space is secured to accommodate all components of a complete street including vehicle travel lanes at appropriate widths for the downtown, parking, bike lanes, the "pedestrian zone" and beautification. 14 Urban Design Guidelines The Plan recommends adoption of a comprehensive urban design framework to ensure that the built environment achieves the intended physical vision for the CRA— high quality buildings and vibrant, rich public realm, creating the places in which people will want to live, work and relax. The design guidelines will foster sustainable and predictable development in all districts while helping to realize the Plan's vision for each. For example, to achieve the desired image and function of Ocean Avenue within the Cultural District, which will built upon its unique scale and ability to accommodate special events, the regulatory standards will address building heights. massing, setbacks and uses. MOVING FORWARD The 2016 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan will guide the community through the redevelopment of the CRA District for another twenty years. The Plan will be relied upon by staff and elected officials to guide policy recommendations and decisions regarding private development, public improvements and in formulating the annual CRA budget.

Introduction Updating the Vision Public Participation Process Planning Considerations and Strategies Organization of the Plan 20 Updating the Vision The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Area and Community Redevelopment Agency (both commonly referred to as the "CRA") were established in 1982, and the area was incrementally expanded over a 16-year period to ultimately envelop approximately 1,650 acres(see location map on opposite page). With the incremental establishment of the CRA came the incremental preparation of redevelopment plans required to guide private development and support the funding and construction of public infrastructure improvements. Chapter 163 Part III of the Florida Statute enables local governments to designate parts of their jurisdictions as Community Redevelopment Areas after a determination that "slum and blight" criteria have been met. Examples of conditions that can support the designation include, but are not limited to, the presence of substandard or inadequate structures, a shortage of affordable housing, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient roadways, and inadequate parking. To document that the required conditions exist, the local government must survey the proposed redevelopment area and prepare a Finding of Necessity. If the Finding of Necessity confirms the existence of such conditions, the local government may create a Community Redevelopment Area where the tools would be applied intended to foster and support redevelopment. Pursuant to state law, the City of Boynton Beach approved Resolution 81-SS and therefore established the Community Redevelopment Agency to administer its programs and activities, and subsequently, through Resolution 82-KK, declared the downtown area to be "blighted" and created the Community Redevelopment Area. The boundaries of the originally-designated area, generally encompassing the Central Business District zoning district within the original downtown, were expanded in October of 1982, by Resolution 82-BBB. As per state requirement, the first redevelopment plan for "Downtown Boynton Beach" was adopted in 1984 by Ordinance 84-32. Three more expansions were made to the CRA between 1984 and 1998, beginning with a small extension of the boundary in April of 1984 by approval of Resolution 84-II. More sizeable expansions of the CRA followed in 1987 and 1998. By Resolution No. 87-QQQ, the 1987 expansion included a 518-acre area bounded by the Boynton (C-16) Canal to the north, the Florida East Coast Railroad to the east, Ocean Avenue to the south and Interstate 95 to the west. The Plan for this area was adopted in December of 1989 by Ordinance 89-49. This area subsequently became referred to as the "Heart of Boynton". The 1998, and last significant expansion was approved by Ordinance 98-33 and extended the CRA area along Federal Highway (east of the FEC Railroad corridor) to both the north and south city limits. This 21 expansion also included the industrial area located on the northwest corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Interstate 95. These expansions were recommended by the "Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan." This plan was completed in 1998 as a product of an American Assembly forum held to "chart a positive course for the City". The scope of the plan included the entire area east of 1-95; however, it emphasized the CRA, recognized the existing CRA plans, and recommended the expansion of the CRA to include the industrial area west of 1-95, the Federal Highway corridor, and that portion of the municipal campus located south of Ocean Avenue. Subsequent to 1998, the land area of the CRA has only been increased as a result of the City annexing unincorporated parcels and enclaves located at the south end of Federal Highway 22 Previous Redevelopment Plans There were four adopted plans guiding redevelopment within the CRA and a draft plan for the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor. The adopted plans included the Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment �+- Plan, the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan, the Ocean District Community ORedevelopment Plan and the Downtown Vision and Master Plan. The original downtown area that was evaluated in the 1984 Plan was first revisited in 1998 as part of the Visions 20/20 Master Plan and again r by the Downtown Master Plan in 2009. Below is a brief overview of each plan. • was adopted in 2001, and represented the first update of the original 1989 Plan. The 2001 Plan was prepared by a consultant team and involved extensive public participation, including five charrettes. In June of 2014 a City-CRA staff team completed an update of this Plan which was adopted by Ordinance 14-008. The staff team held a meeting with community stakeholders to obtain input on proposed redevelopment options. The plan included eleven recommendations, and emphasized the preservation of residential neighborhoods west of Seacrest Boulevard,and an increase in the intensity of development in selected areas east of Seacrest Boulevard. Recommendations relative to building form and design were minimal with attention limited to traditional design for commercial structures, and the architectural style adopted by the stakeholders, "Floribbean", to recognize the historic style present in the area as well as the increase in Caribbean residents. • , ne 2001 Federal Hihwatr Ggiridor Go niminljy Resign! Rent Plat Plan was the first version of a Plan completed for a portion of the1998 expansion to the CRA. This Plan was also originally prepared by a consultant, and was updated in June 2006 with a Plan completed by City staff. The plan divided the corridor into five planning areas and provides land use recommendations and strategies for each. The update made few changes to the original recommendations. Additionally, the original plan included market analyses supporting a convention hotel and additional retail and office space in the downtown area; however, the update did not readdress these topics to confirm feasibility. Although the updated plan did not include an urban design and architecture section, the general recommendations called for the creation of development standards and design guidelines for bulk and building massing as well as for architectural themes. It should be noted that the plan generated the recommendations for mixed use zoning for redevelopment purposes, which culminated in the codification of the four mixed use zoning districts that are in effect today. •The Ocean District Community Redevelopment Plan was created in-house by an urban designer-led planning team and adopted in February 2004. The plan features two alternative redevelopment scenarios for the District with corresponding detailed design recommendations. The plan's main focus is the City- owned land which represents 40% of the Ocean District's total area. This area is referred to as "Town Square".The plan also includes design concepts for the areas along Boynton Beach Boulevard, Seacrest Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, as well as the area adjacent to the FEC Railroad tracks and the single- and multi-family neighborhoods situated north and south of Ocean Avenue. The planning process included two in-house workshops and two public workshops for community stakeholders. Aside from the alternative designs, the plan includes four broad recommendations suggesting changes in land development regulations emphasizing signage, building design, and street furniture. • adopted in January 2009, included in its scope the original CRA as studied under the 1984 Plan. The planning process, led by a team of consultants, City and CRA staff, involved stakeholders and City residents and a series of public meetings and visioning charrettes. The Master Plan provides a strategic framework for implementation of goals through five priority action items named "Big Moves". These include the Transit Oriented Development district, cultural and civic campuses anchored by government offices and services, neighborhood centers along Martin Luther 23 King, Jr. Boulevard and the Federal Highway Figure 1 Previous CRA Plans Areas gateway and linear park.The Plan emphasized , urban design, but also considered regulatory , b • assessment and economic and market factors. _ fit" t . -. n �y�1 �r.

Since November of 2015, CRA and City staff held four(4) public workshops, of which the first three targeted the general public; the forth one, while open to the public at large, was specifically tailored for the audience of stakeholders, including developers, real estate professionals and business leaders. While Workshop#1, held on November 7th, 2015, covered only two CRA districts (Cultural and Industrial)out of the six identified within the consolidated plan, the remaining three, held in 2016 on March 3rd, June 11th, and June 21st, presented an overview of all districts. The proposed consolidated plan was also presented to the CRA Advisory Board on July 7th, and to the CRA Board on July 12th and July 21st. During the workshops, "clicker" polling was used to provide instant feedback on a variety of questions. The participants were asked to respond to the proposed land use and zoning structure changes, connectivity and streetscape improvements, and scale and type of redevelopment. For further detailed polling results, see Appendix 4. The following is a record of attendees and their affiliations with the City. • WORKSHOP#1:Attendance: 6 (polling of audience was not part of workshop itinerary) • WORKSHOP#2:Attendance: 45, of which Live in City: 58%; Work in City: 8%; Work and Live in City: 21% • WORKSHOP #3: Attendance: 115, of which Live in City: 56%; Work in City: 23%; Work and Live in City: 17% • WORKSHOP #4: Attendance: 40, of which 38% Live or Work in City; 31% identify themselves as developers; 10% as planners or architects; 10% represent financial institutions; the remaining 21% are on the `other" category. The proposed consolidated plan was also presented to the CRA Advisory Board on July 7th, July 21st, August 4th, and to CRA Board on July 12th and August 9th. -4. • 41.

It also considered physical, market, and policy-related factors that have affected (or will affect) land use patterns and development characteristics, and land availability and real estate costs. A brief description of those factors, as well as corresponding strategies, is described below. Physical Factors The principal physical factors affecting historical during periods of recession and suburban flight. development patterns or limitations have been Without a substantial and notable built environment, identified and include the linear configuration of the the downtown lacked influential elements to anchor CRA; the emphasis on the automobile as indicated by and guide future expansions. the existence and capacity of two intersecting state Just beyond the immediate downtown area, as roadways; confining and bifurcating boundaries to documented by The Federal Highway Corridor downtown growth including the F.E.C.

This allowance under the TCEA. program has the potential for significant benefits for Boynton Beach as it provides convenient access to the tri-county area through the coastal communities. Boynton Beach can offer the region another option for waterfront living - with marina facilities and oceanfront recreation amenities - in a small-scale environment without the congestion that is characteristic of Dade County, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. A significant portion of the CRA is under the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) designation.While the establishment of a TCEAexempts projects within the delineated area from the requirement of meeting the County traffic concurrency requirements, it also sets limits on the amount of development that will be allowed. In addition, there are requirements for periodic monitoring and specific actions to correct any negative effects the TCEA designation may have on mobility, such as establishing a local circulator system to augment the County's public transit service. The designation overlays the Coastal Residential Exception area, which exempts all residential development east of 1-95 from traffic concurrency. The TCEA policies, as incorporated into the City's and Palm Beach County's Comprehensive Plans, set up 2025 development caps for a number of residential units as well as non-residential square footage. The maximum number of residential units was set at 8,050 units.As of the end of February 2016,the number of units within TCEA was 4,912. The 2004 TCEA Justification Report provided the analysis of the development impacts on roadway links and intersections. Moreover, the Transportation Element's Policy 2.1.6 states that 30 Various factors related to consumer behavior must be considered and strategized to maximize Othe successful implementation of this Plan, including the establishment of appropriate and effective Land Development Regulations. • The commercial core located along the Congress "1" Avenue corridor consists of a significant number of retail and restaurant uses,anchored by a long- standing urban shopping mall and multi-screen movie complex. This area of Boynton Beach is the resource for most consumer shopping needs of locals as well as unincorporated residents and residents in nearby communities. The strongest business market is food service with extensive selection of restaurants, but also includes clothing, groceries, electronics, appliances, and sporting goods. With another one currently under construction, there will soon be 4 hotels either along or in close proximity to Congress Avenue. The vision and strategy for the Redevelopment Plan must acknowledge the value of, but not attempt to compete with the commercial resource along Congress Avenue. The chief market factor is an ongoing shift of purchase from brick-and-mortar stores to the internet, which means a change in demand for retail space. Many of the retail players, including the brands traditionally established on Main Street, are facing increasing online competition and are being forced to downsize their footprints. At the same time, many are strengthening their internet capability, changing location and making adjustments to their inventory. These changing consumer demand patters must be considered when creating a vision for accommodating retail businesses in the downtown. Forcing excessive commercial space and/or forcing commercial space in the wrong locations can have a negative effect on the successful redevelopment of downtown. 31 The target strategies must address the limited supply of both residents and visitors. developable land, relatively high land costs, pedestrian- unfriendly corridors, potentially incompatible land uses, • Reduce dependence on the automobile the lack of available quality space for retail and office by accommodating basic goods and uses necessary to support the establishment of a services, providing walkable streets and vibrant downtown and insufficient densities to support neighborhoods, and achieving efficient mass transit.Therefore, specific strategies to guide the interconnectivity between the waterfront, development of this Plan include the following: activity nodes, and other places of interest. • Establish districts with common characteristics to promote identity and the creation of a sense of place; • Identify potential activity centers (or "nodes"), and support appropriate densities and intensities of development including the necessary height provisions and incentives applicable to areas both inside and outside the TCEA in order to offset the lack of easily available land and high land costs in the immediate downtown area. • Establish a retail land use base through the appropriate and limited concentration of such uses through the strategic allocation of mixed- use zoning districts and applicable regulations. • Implement a complete street program to shift from an automobile-oriented environment to a multimodal network. • Continue conversion of the downtown to a more livable place through greenways and ecotrails, and optimal buffering of residential areas from commercial redevelopment. • Implement Zoning and Land Development Regulations that capitalize on the planned operation of passenger rail service along the F.E.C. Railroad right-of-way including expansion of development incentives within the Downtown Transit Oriented Development District. • Accentuate the valuable and unique resources along the eastern fringe of the City to create a complimentary environment that is inviting to 32 O n { . 33 Organization of the Plan The Plan's roadmap for implementing these strategies and meeting the challenges described above is set up in four sections: Vision and Goals, Frameworks, District Plans, and Implementation Guide. framework The Framework section of the Plan is further divided into two parts, Connectivity and Structure of Future Land Use and Zoning. Connectivity. This section presents a comprehensive system of"complete streets" and other pathways that will unify the CRA area, improve multi-modal transportation, and support intensification of development. A"complete street", one of the main concepts driving the connectivity system, is a street designed to safely and efficiently accommodate access and travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. In addition to complete streets, the Plan's recommended connectivity system covers greenways, ecotrails and parks, and bicycle facilities. For each, there is a general description, a list of benefits they offer, and an indication of where they are being proposed. The transit considerations emphasize the future commuter service on the FEC tracks and redevelopment within the Downtown Transit Oriented Development District. Structure of future land use and zoning. This section describes recommended adjustments to both Future Land Use (FLU) classifications and the corresponding zoning districts for residential and mixed uses. These amendments are specifically tailored to address the land use recommendations and target zoning districts for each of the six proposed CRA districts. District H �� Six individual districts were identified based, in part, on their character, history, location, and land use make- up. These include: • Boynton Beach Boulevard District, located along Boynton Beach Boulevard from 1-95 to the FEC railroad tracks, bordered by West Ocean Avenue and NE 1st Avenue on its south side and NW/NE 3rd Avenue on its north; • Cultural District, located along the Ocean Avenue Promenade from the FEC tracks west to S. Seacrest Boulevard, bordered by NE 1st Avenue to the north and SE 2nd Avenue to the south; 34 lej • Downtown District, located between NE 7th Avenue on the north, SE 12th Avenue on the south, the FEC tracks on the west; The Implementation Guide is divided into three the slightly jagged eastern boundary sections: Planning & Policy, Development & Capital pincludes the Intracoastal Waterway and Projects, and Initiatives & Programs. The first section, S.

The south district contains two county-owned enclaves; • Heart of Boynton District, located north of the Boynton Beach Boulevard District, between the FEC tracks and Interstate 95, with the C. Stanley Weaver (C-16) Canal as its northern border; and • Industrial Crafts District, located west of 1-95, extending from West Boynton Beach Boulevard north to the C. Stanley Weaver Canal. The six self-contained plans created for the districts have uniform format. After the introductory section,which includes the progress update (i.e. recent redevelopment projects and infrastructure upgrades), the plan proceeds to present the recommended streetscape improvements and land use changes (no land use or zoning changes are envisioned for the Industrial Crafts District), as well as infill and development/redevelopment opportunities.

Vision and Goals Mission Statement The Vision Goals and Principles 38 to ■ Mission statement tz, The mission of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is to guide and stimulate redevelopment o activities, support affordable housing, foster a stronger A economy through small business funding programs and provide free special events that contribute to enhanced quality of life for all residents. 39 The Vision The Vision of the Boynton Beach CRA Redevelopment Plan is to create a thriving city with a vibrant downtown and distinct districts. The vision includes unifying, connecting, and investing in sustainable, diverse neighborhoods that support strong local economy and enhance the quality of life for residents. 40 co). Goals and Principles The CRA has identified a set of Goals which serve as the Planning Principles: • Create a unique identity for the Districts drawing on elements such as its historic commercial OtJ marine industries, recreational amenities and cultural and public arts through special events, programs, projects and marketing. • Create a balance of sustainable and functional land uses for each District as a base for District plans. • Protect and enhance existing single-family neighborhoods. • Encourage the expansion of existing businesses and seek to attract new ones through the use of incentives and technical assistance. • Develop a coordinated signage program, including welcome signage, way-finding signage and street banners, that will identify and and promote each District. • Program and promote special events through available financial, staffing, marketing or other mechanisms. • Create a comfortable, walkable and safe pedestrian-scale environment connecting residents and visitors to the commercial, social/cultural and recreational areas within each District. • Create zoning and land use development regulations that support a diversity of mixed uses in the downtown area and adjacent planning areas including but not limited to residential, destination commercial, retail, restaurants, hotels, office, civic and recreational uses. • Develop policies and strategies for providing adequate public parking areas within each District to support commercial and residential redevelopment such as but not limited to financial incentives, land acquisition and construction. 41 • Create/encourage/support land development regulations that provide alternatives to parking requirements. • Encourage and assist existing development and redevelopment projects that provide employment and economic opportunities. • Create programs, projects and funding which supports existing and new commercial development and act as a catalyst to leverage additional investment by private sector enterprise such as, but not limited to, economic incentives for rehabilitation or construction activities, development costs or infrastructure improvements. • Provide programs that market and promote the businesses, activities, special events, development and redevelopment opportunities and projects within each District. • Pursue development and redevelopment projects, actively engage in land acquisition and disposal, environmental and economic viability studies, building demolition and construction, site and infrastructure improvements, and project design and construction. • Create, improve and promote the public waterfront areas and public open spaces, parks, greenways, blueways and bikeways. • Encourage and incentivize the improvement, development and implementation of streetscape enhancements within the Districts, including landscaping, street furniture and hardscape features, signage, pedestrian safety and walkability/connectivity, crosswalk treatments and lighting elements. • Encourage the preservation of existing affordable housing and the development of new affordable housing by providing technical assistance, incentives and land. • Encourage the preservation of the commercial and recreational marine industries operating within the CRA, such as, but not limited to,the Boynton Harbor Marina District, by financial investment, physical improvements, special events, marketing and promotional activities. • Encourage the preservation of the existing public waterfront access areas and—wherever feasible— provide for the addition of new public waterfront access through acquisition, easements or other means available to the Agency. • Encourage and initiate various innovative community policing techniques and programs, code enforcement, "clean and safe" programs and policies, and other means deemed feasible and appropriate in order to stabilize and enhance neighborhoods and commercial areas. 42 43 C. Frameworks Connectivity Plan Land Use & Zoning n 45 Connectivity Plan The CRA is directly accessed by Interstate 95 via Boynton Beach Boulevard and a US-1 (a.k.a. Federal Highway). Being dissected by these two State roads, and situated generally between a major freeway and popular marina and oceanfront recreation amenities, the downtown has considerable exposure from local and regional traffic. However, the historic emphasis on accommodating the automobile still prevails today, as does the environment commonly associated with road rights-of-way devoted to wide travel lanes, extensive center turn lanes, minimal sidewalk widths, landscaping, and a deficient and segmented bikeway system. Using the Complete Streets design concept as a guide, this Plan will support existing efforts to promote alternative modes of travel within the downtown area, as well as fill voids in the system which, in part, may be the result of the previous incremental redevelopment efforts. What have been individual plans and unrelated planning areas throughout the CRA, will become one document unified with a mobility plan comprised of Complete Streets and a planned-out bicycle and pedestrian network. This plan will ensure optimal linkages for residents, employees and visitors, to existing and future activity nodes consisting of the train station and transit area, business and shopping centers,event venues, and recreation amenities interspersed throughout the area. omplete Streets The "Complete Streets" program originated from The The Complete Streets initiative for the downtown National Complete Streets Coalition,a program of Smart area is a critical component of the plan that connects Growth America, during a collaborative effort in 2003 a large and linear CRA, involves greater emphasis to expand a transportation planning initiative beyond on densities, intensities, and land uses that support bicycle integration.

Depending on the purpose, such walkways could be defined by decorative buffer walls, natural landscaping and dense tree canopies, meandering paths, accentuated cross-walks, way- finding signage, and other public amenities such as covered areas and benches. Many of the City's natural areas and parks are "off the beaten path" and therefore may not be realized by residents and visitors. Such a walkway or trail system raises awareness of, and increases accessibility to these attractions within the CRA.As described above, they are also used to simultaneously provide a buffer or transition from commercial areas or areas of higher density residential land uses to abutting low density residential neighborhoods.

Most all of the County's Palm Tran system accommodates bikes, and the local commuter train Tri-Rail has dedicated bike storage systems both on the trains and at the stations (most areas are covered or even include enclosed lockers). Bike accommodations can take the form of on-street bike lanes or shared paths within rights-of-way, or dedicated or shared paths located apart from the public roadway network. As referenced above under Greenways, Ecotrails & Parks, components from the City's Greenways, Blueways and Trails Plan have been emphasized in this Plan to further the connectivity objective, while supporting a more sustainable mode of travel and promoting recreation and healthier living. In addition to providing direct access to or within the points of interest shown on the corresponding exhibit, bike lanes or paths should be added to and/or maintained or improved on Federal Highway, Boynton Beach Boulevard, Seacrest Boulevard, Woolbright Road, Ocean Avenue, NW 2nd Street, SE 4th Street, and NW 4th Avenue. co L 101.1106 ca M , D J Y II El in 9 F .

The 55 The most significant features of a TOD are (1) increased density and intensity of development, with minimum levels of development recommended by FDOT; (2)walkability and interconnectivity throughout the area; and (3) mix of uses appropriate to the service and area. In July of 2013, the City adopted provisions for TOD and the corresponding standards within the mixed use zoning regulations, including the minimum density standards for mixed use districts within the Transit Core, defined as a 1/4 mile radius around the future station. RecommtI uli, v • Prepare a Complete Streets program for the targeted streets within the CRA to guide the ultimate redesign and / or incremental improvements to implement the connectivity and walkability objectives of the plan. • Require the completion of all missing sidewalk segments within the CRA and adjoining areas in conjunction with private development or redevelopment, and public improvements. • Require that development design establish a pedestrian zone along the rights-of-way, tailored per roadway type and anticipated land use. • Require that streetscape landscape design and species selection emphasize the pedestrian way with optimal location and maximized shading. • Ensure the completion of greenways through necessary dedications and physical improvements required in conjunction with private and public development. • Consider the opportunity to promote downtown events in appropriate areas through the use of Festive Street design. • Consider LDRs that will ensure the installment of the greenway as a condition of rezoning for full block commercial/mixed-use redevelopment of the Boynton Beach Boulevard Corridor. • To ensure optimal bus stop locations and design, coordinate with Palm Tran as part of the development review process, and consider additional LDRs that require related improvements concurrent with development and redevelopment throughout the CRA. 56 48 57 Land Use & Zoning Recommendations for Changes to Future Land Use and Zoning Structure The land use recommendations constitute the bedrock of a community redevelopment plan. The Plan proposes to initiate changes to the existing future land use (FLU) and zoning patterns as currently depicted on the City's official Future Land Use and Zoning Maps. Site specific changes will be facilitated and supported by significant adjustment to the future land use and zoning structure, through modifications of both FLU classifications and the corresponding zoning districts for residential and mixed uses.As shown in Table 1 and 2 below,the Plan recommends elimination of several categories and creation of new ones for both future land use and zoning, as well as modifications of the density caps: EXISTING FLU DENSITY RECOMMENDEDFLU DENSITY CHANGE DU/ACRE DU/ACRE RESIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATIONS Low Density (LDR) 5 Low Density (LDR) 7.5 Merged into one Moderate Density 7 5 category (MODR) Medium Density (MEDR) 10 Medium Density (MEDR) 11 Merged into one High Density (HDR) 11 category High Density (HDR) 15 Create a new Special High Density 20 HDR; SHDR (SHDR) Special High Density 20 (SHDR) remains URBAN MIXED USE CLASSIFICATIONS n/a Mixed Use Low 20 NEWFLU Mixed Use (MX) 40 Mixed Use Medium 50 Increased Density Renamed. Corresponds with Mixed Use Core (MX-C) 80 Mixed Use High 80 previous Mixed Use Core Table 1: Proposed Changes to the Future Land Use(FLU) Classifications 58 The recommended changes to the existing future land use classifications include a corresponding set of proposed changes to the zoning structure, shown in Table 2, RECOMMENDED DENSITY ZONING DENSITY MAX CHANGE TO ZONING LAND USE MACRE DISTRICTS CAPS HEIGHT DISTRICTS RESIDENTIAL R1-AAA, R1- Merged zoning districts Low Density (LDR) 7.5 �B' R1-AA, 5 TO 7.5 30 (2 corresponding to existing LDR and R-1A, R-1, stories) MODR FLU categories PUD R2 10 30' (2 Corresponding to the existing Medium Density 11 stories) MEDR (MEDR) R3, PUD, 45' (4 IPUD 11 stories) Previously under the HDR FLU High Density(HCR) 15 R-4, IPUD, 15 45' (4 NEW district R-4 PUD stories) Special High 20 IPUD,PUD 20 45' No change ^J Density(SHDR) stories) • URBAN MIXED USE Density and height same as the Mixed Use Low 2C t.AU 1 20 45' (4 MUL-1 zoning district under the stories) existing MX FLU m Increased density: existing MUL- O MU-2 40 stories) 2 under MX FLU at 30 du/acre Mixed Use 50 c••, .

Table 2: Land Use Structure and Corresponding Zoning The recommendations emphasize mixed use for development and redevelopment, which are intended to play a major role in the ongoing revitalization of the CRA area, encouraging high quality design by providing both greater flexibility and more control. tS__y IeG,s2rufiilu0 crlailytS to file iIUXeu U;-t yiassificationS and zoning disillas include. • Transition from two to three Future Land Use clgssifications. and from four to five urban mixed use zoning districts.A steep increase in density and height caps between the Mixed Use and the Mixed Use Core classifications within the existing structure—from 40 DU/Acre to 80 DU/Acre and from 75 feet to 150 feet—makes for a gap that hinders future creation of a desired urban form and urban identity for the Downtown and adjacent districts of the CRA. There is no zoning district within the Mixed Use Core classification that would bridge the 40 DU/Acre density gap, and the existing 59 supplemental regulations created to address the vast difference in scale for potential proximity of developments under the Mixed Use and Mixed Use Core classifications are inadequate. • Replacing of the Mixed Use Future Land Use classification with Mixed Use Medium land use classification and introducing new zoning district, MU-4 (under the Mixed Use High category) with intermediate density thresholds. The density caps for the new FLU classification and the new zoning district-50 DU/Acre and 60 DU/Acre, respectively—have been established specifically to support the appropriate continuum of scale, addressing the described above density gap. 1<ey Recommended changes to the residential classifications include: • Merging of the two lowest density residential classifications into a single classification named Low Density Residential Future Land Use Classification (LDR), with the maximum allowable density of 7.5 dwelling units per acre. The existing zoning designations remain and will act to limit densities in neighborhoods developed with densities below 7.5 DU/Acre. This change contributes to "house cleaning," eliminating a City-wide inconsistency whereby a significant number of residential areas classified as Low Density Residential—for example, areas west of Seacrest Boulevard in the Heart of Boynton district—carry zoning designations corresponding to the Moderate Density future land use category. • Merging of the Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential Future Land Use classifications into a single classification named Medium Density Residential Classification with a maximum allowable density of 11 dwelling units per acre. The corresponding zoning designations are also merged and now include R-2, R-3, IPUD and PUD will remain unchanged. It is currently under the High Density Residential category. Simply stated,this change merges two land use classifications with closely matching density caps (10 units per acre and 11 units per acre). • Creation of a new High Density Residential Future Land Use classification with a maximum density of 15 dwelling units per acre. A new multifamily zoning district, R-4, is proposed for this category. The Special High Density (SHDR) classification remains as is. This classification, limited to the CRA area, does not allow commercial uses except for marine-oriented and water-dependent uses in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Manatee Protection Plan. Its maximum density of 20 DU/Acre is the same as the maximum residential density of the new Mixed Use Low future land use classification. Even though the latter does not necessarily require inclusion of commercial uses, maintaining a SHDR as a residential-only classification (except as stated above) is important as it may be more appropriate than Mixed Use Low for certain locations. Further, significant amount of land within the CRA has already been developed under SHDR classification with the IPUD zoning. Aside from the CRA area, for which they are intended, the changes will eventually have a City-wide benefit for future redevelopment. 60 t. 61 r"a D.

There are numerous curb cuts for each commercial use along the corridor • i' • leaving little room for landscape improvements and the , :0;0 pedestrian zone. • t MUM Due to the widening of the Boynton Beach Boulevard _ overthe years,vehicular use has been emphasized over pedestrian or bike use. Under the current configuration • - ter of the roadway, there is insufficient right-of-way for # landscaping, wider sidewalks, bike lanes, bus shelters • and street furniture. Recently large utility poles were • installed on the south side of the Boulevard adding to the visual blight of the corridor. There are only three signalized intersections that have formal pedestrian crossing zones. Pedestrians must walk several blocks in order to cross the Boulevard. arum • There are no destinations along the corridor to attract the interest of visitors or residents other than City Hall 1"'-Lode = •� : - , and the Post Office. The majority of the businesses belong to the small service industry with few employees. `— --- The buildings are outdated, being constructed from the 1930's to the 1970's. The majority of the buildings are for single-tenant or single-use with no cross-access Figure 11: Examples of Districts Planning Challenges for pedestrian or vehicular circulation purposes or for sharing of parking resources. Additionally, there are no large parcels ready for redevelopment thereby requiring land assemblage and willing sellers. City Hall is located along Boynton Beach Boulevard but is envisioned to be relocated into the Cultural District as part of the Town Square project. City Hall and the other civic uses occupy 3.71 acres and offer an opportunity for a public-private partnership to facilitate a catalyst for redevelopment within the District. 66 58 67 Planning Considerations NW 1st Avenue Historic District: Several factors were considered in determining the The potential NW 1st Avenue historic district land use designations for the Boynton Beach Boulevard contains thirteen properties, seven of which District. Just east along the District is the location of the would be considered "contributing properties". future site of the Tri-Rail Coastal Link commuter service The designation process was applied but failed to on the FEC Rail line, which will serve the South Florida produce a positive result (although the outcome of metropolitan region. To improve land development the vote was very close). It is recommended that the patterns in advance of station development, the City designation of a historic district be again explored adopted a Downtown Transit Oriented Development in the future if there isn't any assemblage of the District (DTOD), covering a 1/2 mile radius around the properties on the north side of NW 1st Avenue for planned station. The DTOD district regulations support commercial development. In the meantime, the increased intensity of development through a 25% owners of the "contributing" sites will be contacted density bonus. The Boynton Beach Boulevard District to determine their interest in applying for individual and DTOD district overlap; only the area from 1-95 to designation of their properties. (approximately) N.W. 2nd Street is not included within the DTOD District. A second consideration is that the Boynton Beach ' • • . Boulevard District is entirely enclosed within the - '' Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) `' f which, in addition to the residential exception area 44, applicable east of 1-95, exempts all development Q from the Palm Beach County traffic concurrency thus 's allowing denser development. The Plan recommends that the higher density and height occur within this District where both the TCEA and the TOD overlap. Figure 12: Historic Property on First Avenue 68 Vision The Boynton Beach Boulevard District is envisioned to serve as a welcoming and beautiful entry into the Downtown District. Pedestrians will be encouraged to walk along the broad sidewalks in the shade of mature trees to visit the various stores and restaurants along the corridor. Bicyclists will safely travel along the corridor and will be able to park their bikes at one of the local shops where they'll meet a friend for a cup of coffee. Visitors will be able to find their way to the marina, the Children's Schoolhouse Museum and the Public Library using the various way finding signs along the corridor. Investors will see the value of developing in downtown Boynton Beach based on the public improvements and will begin to assemble land for development of mixed-use projects. Recommendations:3treetscape Streetscape enhancements are recommended for the Boynton Beach Boulevard District. The space for these enhancements may be obtained through either right-of-way dedications or public easements and should include: • Implement a Complete Streets program • Minimum 8' wide active use area abutting the for Boynton Beach Boulevard including the building addition of: • Decorative light poles at both the vehicular and • On-street parking pedestrian scales • Bike lanes • Enhanced street furniture, bus shelters, bike • Enhanced median with mature tree canopy racks and receptacles (at time of planting) and landscape lighting • Active uses along the first floor of development • Marking of major intersections with • Create a greenway along the north side of NW 1st materials such as pavers, paint, etc. Avenue per the Connectivity Plan • Narrowing of travel lanes to create space .

Other future land use designations are Public and Private and Governmental/ Institutional(where City Hall is located) and Office Commercial. The Local Retail Commercial designation only extends one-half block to the north and south of Boynton Beach Boulevard. The lack of depth has prevented successful projects from being developed along the corridor. In order to encourage a vibrant corridor with the desired private development and public spaces, it is recommended that the following future land use changes be made: • From 1-95 east to N.W. 1st Street, change Local Retail Commercial and Low Density Residential to Mixed-Use Low. The Mixed-Use Low land use designation should extend the depth of the block north and south of Boynton Beach Boulevard. • From N.W. 1st Street east to N.E. 3rd Street, change Local Retail Commercial, Public and Private Governmental/Institutional, Medium Density Residential, General Commercial to Mixed-Use Medium Future Land Use. The Mixed-Use Medium land use designation should extend the depth of the block north and south of Boynton Beach Boulevard. • From N. E. 3rd Street east to the FEC Railroad, change General Commercial, Industrial, Local Retail Commercial to Mixed-Use High future land use designation. The Mixed-Use High future land use designation should extend the depth of the block north and south of Boynton Beach Boulevard.

Prior to that, the Ocean District Plan was adopted in 2004 to guide redevelopment of Ocean Avenue between Seacrest Boulevard and the F.E.C. Railroad tracks, and the properties surrounding this corridor including "Town Square". The common vision of both plans was to create a cultural district anchored by the Children's Schoolhouse Museum, library and civic uses, and to maintain and reuse the historic structures. The City invested in a streetscape project along Ocean Avenue in the late 1990's. The CRA purchased a historic structure at 211 Ocean Avenue that is in the planning process to be converted to a bar/restaurant, and moved another historic structure onto Ocean Avenue from N.E. 1st Avenue to create a café. In 2011, the CRA developed the amphitheater where most of the CRA events are held. The goal of these projects has been to activate Ocean Avenue as a quaint gathering place and link to downtown and marina. The Cultural District, at 28 acres, is the smallest of the six planning districts. Its boundaries are Seacrest Boulevard to the west, N.E. 1st Avenue to the north, the FEC Railway to the east and S.E. 2nd Avenue to the south; it is adjacent to the Boynton Beach Boulevard District and the Downtown District. The western section of the District (west of SE 1st Street) is almost completely occupied by civic uses. The remaining part of the district has a significant number of single-family homes, and several small, older multifamily condo and apartment buildings. North of Ocean Avenue, several vacant parcels are part of a land assemblage targeted for redevelopment. — Figure 26 C Rural elstrict Location Ma } ., 1 • w'gy {J . , , ems` f u ` !

A second consideration is that the Cultural District wt. F �i,4' t Opi `L, 7 . is entirely enclosed within the Transportation `' L. It 6 . Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) which, in addition to the residential exception area applicable .. east of 1-95, exempts all development from the Palm Figure 27: Example of District Planning Challenges 82 Vision The Cultural District is envisioned to be the principal hub for the City's civic uses, public spaces and events. The concentration of public art and other cultural amenities will foster a sense of community. Public events such as the Kinetic Art Expo and the Haunted Pirate Fest are already anchored within the District and attract residents and visitors to experience Boynton Beach's unique character. Ocean Avenue will maintain its character through the creation of an overlay district. Recommendations: Streetscape Streetscape enhancements are recommended for both Ocean Avenue and Seacrest Boulevard. The space for these enhancements may be obtained through either right-of-way dedications or public easements and should include: Ocean Avenue • Implement a Complete Streets program for Ocean Avenue to accommodate bike lanes and bike racks, safe pedestrian crossing at the FEC Railway and on-street parking where possible. • Create a curbless festival area between Seacrest Boulevard and S.E. 1st Street • Enhance the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Seacrest Boulevard with a vertical entry feature, with changes in surface materials such pavers and paints. • Add signage at the FEC Railway announcing entry into the Downtown area. • Create a Pedestrian Zone adjacent to the right-of-ways that is inviting, safe and includes: • Addition of canopy street trees • Minimum 8' wide clear sidewalk • Minimum 8' wide active use area abutting the building • Decorative light poles at both the vehicular and pedestrian scales • Streetscape Enhancements Streetscape Enhancements • On-street parking • On street parking • • Designated bike lanes&facilities Designated bike lanes • Landscaping/street tree improvements Reduce lane width •• Sidewalk expansions and repairs Enhance crosswalks • Public art along Avenue } „ ' . •. • Curbiess'festival'street section • Material and pattern enhancements Iv -le if• Ili., ;a, s 1. 4. ., t • • o ff ' '` <ii4.r.„,,..,, A� . . rir�,.r ' ; 10.1 _ 411 1 •' • M Figure 28: Ocean Ave. Streetscape Recommendations Figure 29: Seacrest Blvd. Streetscape Recommendations 83 • Enhanced street furniture, bus shelters, bike racks and receptacles • Active uses along the first floor of development Seacrest Boulevard • Implement a Complete Streets program for Seacrest Boulevard to accommodate bike lanes and bike racks, safe pedestrian crossings, required on-street parking, and consideration for rotary intersection design at Ocean Avenue • Install public art in key locations • Provide additional pedestrian crossings where needed • Underground overhead utilities f__....

The City's beach at Oceanfront Park is only 1.7 miles from 1-95 or, for residents of one of the new downtown developments, a quick walk over the Ocean Avenue Bridge. The Tri-Rail Coastal Link commuter rail station is planned for the downtown at N.E. 4th Street between Ocean Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard. This led the City to adopt the Downtown Transit Oriented Development District, allowing for a 25% density bonus within '/2 mile of the future station. 91 Planning Challenges A second consideration is that the Downtown District is entirely enclosed within the Transportation Unlike Delray Beach or West Palm Beach, Boynton Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) which, in Beach historically has only had a very small downtown addition to the residential exception area applicable area. It extended from just east of Federal Highway east of 1-95, exempts all development from the Palm to west of Federal Highway at Ocean Avenue. There Beach County traffic concurrency thus allowing have been very few commercial buildings that could denser development. be repurposed into restaurants and stores as Delray Beach has done. Consequently, the first CRA Plan The existence of both of these transportation- adopted in 1984 concentrated on the downtown oriented designations is a factor in considering where area (smaller than proposed in this plan) as a increased height and density will occur within the redevelopment priority.

There will be areas to gather and socialize. Entrepreneurs will open new restaurants and businesses creating financial benefits to the local economy. Attractive new buildings will provide housing for people of all ages and incomes, and accommodate new shops and restaurants. Recommendations: Streetscape Streetscape enhancements are recommended for the Federal Highway corridor. The space for these enhancements may be obtained through either right-of-way dedications or public easements. The enhancements should include: • Create a Complete Street design for Federal Highway including the addition of: • On-street parking • Bike lanes • Enhance median with mature tree canopy (at time of planting) and landscape lighting • Marking of major intersections with materials such as pavers, paint, etc. • Create a Pedestrian Zone adjacent to the right-of-ways that is inviting, safe and includes: • Addition of canopy street trees • Minimum 8'wide clear sidewalk • Minimum 8'wide active use area abutting the building • Decorative light poles at both the vehicular and pedestrian scales • Enhanced street furniture, bus shelters, bike racks and receptacles • Active uses along the first floor of development • Canopy trees that provide immediate shading at time of construction • Bus shelters with unique design for the downtown district • Underground overhead utilities • Public art in key locations • Additional pedestrian crossings where needed • A greenway along SE 4th Street and Ocean Avenue connecting Pence Park and the Marina, per the Connectivity Plan • An eco-trail connecting the pedestrian zone to Mangrove Park, per the Connectivity Plan. 85 94 Recommendations: Land Use To attract new residents and businesses, the area must present a unified vision for the future.

Corridor redevelopment has been difficult, given the glut of outdated commercial buildings as well as land use and zoning generally out-of-step with the changing economic environment and current vision. In 2001, to address the blight along the Federal Highway corridor, the CRA and City adopted the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. The Plan was updated in June of 2006, The Federal Highway Corridor District benefited from redevelopment activity more than any other district. The land use changes recommended by the 2001 Plan and its update resulted in the development of 2,358 new residential units in the five new projects at the north end of Federal Highway and eight projects along the south end of the District. The CRA recently completed a capital improvement project in the area of the FEC right-of-way, on the west side of Federal Highway between the Stanley Weaver (C-16) Canal and N.E. 15th Avenue. As part of this project, new landscaping, irrigation, lighting and a new entry sign for the City were installed. This District consists of two sections, North and South. Each section extends north and south from the Downtown District, ending at the City's boundary. On the west, they are mostly bounded by the F.E.C. Railroad right-of-way; on the east, both border on the Intracoastal Waterway.The South and North sections of the District represent the main entries into the City from US Highway 1. There are two major arterial roadways in the district: Gateway Boulevard, an east-west arterial between 1-95 and Federal Highway, and Federal Highway, which runs north/south through the entire CRA district. The district is home to two City parks: the Harvey Oyer, Jr. Park with 8.79 acres and the Intracoastal Park with 8.97 acres. Both parks provide residents with access to the Intracoastal Waterway. 103 - P' 0.1 ( -: ••••41,4.**V.1.} ..0.1. 4”, ',,Bpygton Beh Blyd 1,44,t, .1/. ..1,,(•• yr ..... lior•:tame • MMN/104,r- . -. r I••••• 10• r..r6 • 7.4 . . - • .-.., • • - 0 •iii a .44 -• it.

The insufficient depth of land on the west side of Federal V 01 Highway makes certain areas undevelopable or • ; { at least difficult to develop. On the east side • of Federal Highway, the depth of commercialh • , _ . .�,. lots is also inadequate to build anything that is „ responsive to the market. Land assemblage is required to create a developable site; moreover, there are only a few vacant parcels. .NNN. Among numerous outdated commercial buildings, some are vacant and many under maintained. Additionally, many of the uses are not compatible with the vision of the Plan or with the adjacent residential neighborhoods. , . _ Another predominant feature that is creating visual blight is the abundance of overhead utilities. Old utility poles often remain after new poles are installed, taking up precious sidewalk space. The sidewalks are too narrow ;. . -4, to allow two people to walk side-by-side or to +i''' 5 accommodate the installation of mature shade . ;;:a/.4. " 'OP i'' trees and decorative streetlights. .ir _.... d � --- -~MN There are insufficient bus shelters along Federal Figure 50: Example of District Planning Challenges • Highway, even though Route 1 is one of the most used of all the Palm Tran routes. • Due to the scale of Federal Highway, the buildings and uses have been oriented to glik the automobile. There is little in the design of the road, sidewalks or buildings that would encourage biking or walking as an alternative to driving. The drive lanes of Federal Highway are 12'wide, encouraging speeding adjacent to the sidewalk. A major challenge to redevelopment in the area of Federal Highway is the lack of developable parcels, 105 Planning Considerations I There are several additional factors to consider for The return of passenger service to the F.E.C. redevelopment recommendations along the corridor. Railroad as part of the Coastal Link project will also serve as an attraction to downtown living and The first one is a close proximity to the waterfront, working as the City redevelops. A portion of both including direct access to the barrier island and segments of the corridor is within the Downtown oceanfront recreation areas as well as direct access to Transit Oriented Development District. The entire the Intracoastal Waterway through three public parks corridor, future train station and the existing Tri-Rail located at each end of the corridor. However, it also Station is accessible via a short bus ride on one of makes the District vulnerable to flooding from high-tide the County's most ridden Route#1. events, storm surge, stormwater runoff and, eventually, the related impacts of sea level rise. Areas along the east side of the corridor are especially susceptible to flood damage, with large sections both north and south under FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and storm surge zones extending west past Federal Highway. Portions of these areas are also within evacuation zones for category 3 and 4 hurricanes. Both the north and south parts of the District overlap with the Comprehensive Plan's Coastal Management area, and therefore are subject of all its policies. The main focus of these policies is flood prevention and mitigation, including policies regarding certain uses, development intensity increases and public infrastructure improvements in areas most prone to flooding. All have to be taken into consideration in redevelopment decisions, striking a balance between people's desire to live on the water and the need to reduce threat to life and property from natural hazards. At the same time, the policies strongly encourage that public waterfront access be a part of all waterfront development. 106 Apt Vision The Federal Highway Corridor shall serve as a major point of entry into the City and the downtown from both the north and south direction. There shall be a mix of uses that front the road, improve and activate the area. The streetscape will encourage biking and walking by providing shade, attractive lighting and a sense of safety. The single-family neighborhoods will experience an increase in value and become more attractive to buyers. Recommendations: Street5ope Streetscape enhancements are recommended for the Federal Highway corridor. The space for these enhancements may be obtained through either right-of-way dedications or public easements and should include: • Create a Complete Street design for Federal Highway including the addition of: • On-street parking • Bike lanes • Enhance median with mature tree canopy (at time of planting) and landscape lighting • Marking of major intersections with materials such as pavers, paint, etc. • Create a Pedestrian Zone adjacent to the right-of-ways that is inviting, safe and includes: • Addition of canopy street trees • Minimum 8'wide clear sidewalk • Decorative light poles at both the vehicular and pedestrian scales • Require installation of canopy trees that provide immediate shading at time of construction • Underground overhead utilities • Provide additional pedestrian crossings where needed • Create a greenway along SE 4th Street per the Connectivity Plan 108 Recommendations: Land Use To encourage land assemblage for redevelopment of the corridor, the Plan recommends the application of the newly created future land use classification (Mixed-Use Low with a density of 20 units per acre) and zoning district (Mixed-Use 1 zoning with a 45' height limitation).This new land use designation will allow flexibility to develop retail and residential or retail and office uses, allowing the market to determine the best mix. The Mixed-Use Low would apply to the Federal Highway frontage and to Gateway Boulevard at the Federal Highway Intersection. Currently there is commercial land use at this location; however, it is in need of upgrading. Compatibility ordinances will be utilized to minimize impacts of commercial uses on adjacent residential neighborhoods. To allow for growth within the CRA and the City, it is recommended that the new mixed-use zoning category—Mixed-Use 4 with a density of 60 units per acre and 100' height limitation—be applied at the four corners of Woolbright and Federal Highway.

The problem is that—given low overhead utilities, causing a "visual blight." median household incomes—it cost more to build even modest apartments than many of the families can afford. This gap will has to be filled \ through some form of a subsidy. Another major deterrent to private investment is the visible blight and crime. There are still a number of small convenience stores that y i . allow loitering and illegal activities for all to see, 7 discouraging people to buy homes or invest in "t;`,: . .: -�. �P• tt businesses within the area. The District is comprised of small parcels platted - • L-i.a in the 1920's — 1930's, during Florida's land Figure 58. Example of District Planning Challenges boom. The parcels are owned by many different people making assembly of a developable site very difficult and expensive. Moreover, many tjowners have an unrealistic sense of the value ■ of their property. • Over the years, the neighborhood has lost most ! of their retailers and service providers. There is no full service grocery store and only one take- out restaurant. The majority of commercial use is represented by convenience stores. A new ''• Family Dollar store at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Seacrest Boulevard has been a welcome addition, but there is a need for more retail services. The neighborhood is bifurcated by a four- lane Seacrest Boulevard, which has only one signalized pedestrian crossing even though there are two elementary schools in the neighborhood. The width of the road and drive aisles encourage speeding through 117 Planning Considerations Several factors were considered in determining the Historic District. There are a significant number of land use designations for the Heart of Boynton District. historic cottages located along both sides of NE A future commuter rail station for the planned Tri- 3rd Avenue and the south side of NE 4th Avenue Rail Coastal Link service, which will serve the South between N.

DTOD district regulations support increased intensity of development through a 25% density bonus. • On completion of the relocations, a historic district, tentatively called Shepard Funk A second consideration is the Transportation Addition Historic Cottage District, be created Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)which, in addition within the block enclosed by N. Seacrest to the residential exception area applicable east of 1-95, Boulevard, NE 1st Street, NE 3rd Avenue, exempts all development from the Palm Beach County and NE 4th Avenue. traffic concurrency requirements thus allowing denser development. The Plan recommends increasing density within the area where the TCEA and TOD designations overlap. However, because this District is a low- scale neighborhood, no increase in height over 45' is recommended. • .11 s cli r • 1111 • Figure 59. Historically significant cottages in the HOB 109 118 Vision The Heart of Boynton area will become a model neighborhood, with its unique character and history preserved. The vision includes enriching the original vernacular architecture of the neighborhood, investing in housing and commercial uses, and connecting both through the pedestrian and vehicular networks. Recommendations: Streetscape Streetscape enhancements are recommended for the Seacrest Blvd and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The space for these enhancements may be obtained through either right-of-way dedications or public easements. The enhancements should include: • Implement a Complete Streets program for Seacrest Boulevard and ML K Jr. Boulevard to accommodate bike lanes and bike racks, widening of sidewalks, decorative street lights, street furniture, and on-street parking. • Marking of major intersections with materials such as pavers, paint, etc. • Enhanced median landscaping • Bus shelters (will be required as part of new construction) • Additional signalized pedestrian crossings (including mid-block) along Seacrest BoulevardAddition of canopy street trees • Creation of a Pedestrian Zone adjacent to the right-of-ways that is inviting, safe and includes: • Minimum 8' wide clear sidewalk • Decorative light poles at both the vehicular and pedestrian scales • Require installation of canopy trees that provide immediate shading at time of construction • Undergrounding of overhead utilities • Creation of a greenway to connect the greenway proposed along NW 1st Avenue, Sara Sims Park, and Wilson Park per the Connectivity Plan • Creation of an eco-trail to connect the existing scrub and linear parks per the Connectivity Plan 119 • • ...> r - ytai4{ i"""...lilt . •' T -. . y'7...1.-` `• Ii, izaraf",la1' I.

The planning process included two in-house workshops and two public workshops for community stakeholders.Aside from the alternative subsection designs, the plan includes four broad recommenda- tions suggesting changes of land development regu- lations as well as creation of signage and of design recommendations for structures and street furniture. • The Downtown Vision and Master Plan, adopted in January 2009, is an update of the original 1984 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. The planning process was headed by EDAW, Inc. consulting group in partnership with AECOM, Inc. and ERA, Inc. It involved stakeholders and City residents though a series of public meetings and visioning charrettes. The Master Plan provides a strategic framework for implementation of goals through five priority action items named "Big Moves". 7 160 161 Olk B.

Current population numbers and projections for the study area covered by the CRA Con- solidated Redevelopment Plan are based on two sources: the U.S. Census and the 2013 Palm Beach County's Population Allocation Model. Whereas for the U.S. Census, the geographical units are Block Groups, the Population Allocation Model employs Transportation Analysis Zones(TAZs). Some of the geographical units are only partially enclosed within the CRA boundary (see Figures 1 and 2 on the following pages). Unless otherwise specified, the term "extended"CRA or a study area is used through- , out the report to indicate that the information includes data for those parts of Census tracts, Census Im blocks or TAZs which are located outside of the CRA. • 'a" Population characteristics data draws on the Census'American Community Survey 5-year(2009-2013) estimates, or, in cases of large margins of error for small samples in that dataset, on the Census 2010 figures if available. a. .. Population Estimates and Projections ask Since Traffic Analysis Zones No. 402, 403, 509, and 520(bolded and italicized in Table 1) are only oft partly located within the CRA area, the total current and projected population figures include a signif- - icant number of people residing outside of the CRA boundaries. For example, using 2013 estimates is of CRA-only population for the aforementioned zones(based on the Census block group population TABLE 1.

As expected, the high densities proposed for the downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods (as explained in the Future Land Use and Zoning chapter of this report) generate a much higher projected 2012-2035 popula- tion growth rate for the area within the listed TAZs than for the City as a whole (52% as compared to 27%). Population Characteristics Race and Ethnicity The extended study area has a significantly lower percentage of White residents (51.9%) and a higher per- centage of Black/African American residents (41.6%) than the City as a whole, but a similar share of Hispanic population. As Table 2 shows, Block groups 61.002 and 61.003 (the Heart of Boynton community) are predominantly Black/African American, with 91% and 89.4% of Black population, respectively (see also Figures 3 and 4). Areas located east of Federal Highway are predominantly white.

The recal- culation of percentages for the CRA area without these block groups lowers the percentage of youth under 18 from 19.1% to 17.5%, and increases the percentage of population 65 years and older from 19.3% to 21.3%. Generally, residents with the highest median age and the highest share of people 65 years of age and older occupy areas east of Federal Highway. Block groups in these areas also have a lower share of youth under 18, between 3% and 16%.Areas with the highest percentage of population under 18 include the eastern part of the Heart of Boynton district(29.2%)and the northernmost block group of 57.014. Block group 62.022 has the highest share of older population, nearly 70%. (Most of the area of this block group is occupied by the age-restricted Sterling Village condominiums.) Figure 7 shows the percentage of 1-person households in the total number of households for block groups in the (extended)area under study. By and large, the highest share of 1-person households coincides with areas with a highest percentage of population age 65 and over. For example, in the block group 62.022, persons living alone constitute 55% of all households, and 42% of these persons are aged 65 or older. 16 169 Education and IncomE This section draws on data from the 5-year pooling (2009-2013) of the American Community Survey's sam- ples. Because of the small sample size and significant margins of error, individual numbers should be interpret- ed with caution. TABLE 4. Educational achievement and median household income Percent population BLOCK GROUP POPULATION 25 and older with a Median household bachelor's or higher income degree 57.014 557 26.0% $22,262 57.022 2,544 6.1% S30,821 57.024 1,043 47.1% $38,897 61.001 9 78 24.7% $63,229 61.002 1,607 12.9% $22,009 61.003 1,141 10.1% $20,714 62.011 2,384 18.8% 544,955 62.012 1,069 11.3% S32,958 62.021 1,236 14.9% $46,318 62.022 8 74 21.2% $32,875 62.031 1,002 18.3% $29,517 63.001 861 62.4% $49,861 63.004 949 28.7% 546,381 Total Area 16,245 23.2% X Citywide 69,257 25.2% 44,390 Note: Bolded and italicized block groups are only partly located within the CRA area Even though the educational attainment of Boynton Beach residents has improved since 2000, the City lags behind in the "Bachelor's Degree or Higher" category with respect to the County's level overall as well as with respect to some of its neighbors. The data suggests that education level as measured by this category may be even lower within the (extended) CRA area: in 7 out of 13 area block groups, less than 20% of the population has a bachelor's or a higher degree. As Table 4 indicates, block groups 61.002 and 61.003, encompassing the Heart of Boynton District, are two of the three block groups with the lowest median household income. As expected, their residents have low level of educational achievement, with 13% and 10%, respectively, of population 25 years of age and over holding a bachelor's degree or higher. (See also Figures 8 and 9.) The relationship between education and income implied by the data is more complex for block groups with high median age and high percentage of one-per- son households. For example, one of the block groups in the second highest median household income (block group 63.001 with an income of$49,861) has the highest share of population with a college or an advanced degree; however, that is not true for a block group of 61.00, which has the highest income, but where only about one-fourth of residents hold a bachelor's or higher degree. 170 MEDIAN AGE by Census Block Groups, Census 2010 _ .9. lifej..Ff.,1,1 . , ( RI i-i..-_,._--, rt Ave It, • • 1 ail NEE 104!Ant — ' 411 _ • j NE t&I.Are •Il 7_ _ i� E C,r *D. r- 11 I I J) ' i- _ -• i i. k,„: 1 .t 1 1s�1Tt:AA. i �.. ai PYIt RMIOe 91 - a '� � � � \t 1�1 i. � w NE 14Cihu�&� .:' a . j e txv, 411110 ' i _ 1 `S31h Ave' 'I 1 , rl..j,1 .! _ :a.r i�1. {c�1 '!� r-1 .

The current percentage for a few block groups may be lower still, as more rental developments were built in recent years. City-wide, the home ownership rate was 72.8% in the year 2000; it increased during the housing boom, and then proceeded to drop following the reces- 41M1 sion and the ensuing lending restrictions. The block group 62.021 had, at 31.07%, the lowest share of owner-occupied housing in the area. The insio • chief and relatively recent contributor to this tenancy profile of the area is the Las Ventanas community with 494 rental units. am Homes within the CRA were also more often designated for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. - The share of such homes was high in the area east of Federal Highway: for example, in the block group +, 62.022, the percentage of such homes was nearly 61%. Since this means that they are only occupied part of the year, it lowers the potential pedestrian traffic, an important factor in creating a vibrant down- town—one of the main strategic goals for the City.

The highest share of older housing stock was in the block group 62.022; it was also very high in the Heart of Boyn- ton district, at 86% and 78%, respectively, in the areas west and east of Seacrest Boulevard. Residential Property Values This section draws on data provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office (see the Current Land Use Profile section elsewhere in this report for information on parcel-based use distribution). Single-family Homes There'are 1,287 single-family homes within the CRA, with the median market value of$76,400 and an average (mean) market value of$157,636 (the significant difference is due to the fact that the values of the 97 high- est-value homes are much higher than most of the values in the set, with 16 homes assessed at more than $1 million.) Some 794 SF homes, or about 62%, are homesteaded. This results in the taxable value distribution presented in Table 7. The median taxable value of a single-family home in the area is $42,901, while an average value is $99,766.About 500 owners of single—family homes (39% of all) pay $200 or less in City taxes.

Overall, a median taxable val- ue of a townhome is $101,383, and the average $130,621. These values—especially median—are significantly higher than those of single-family homes, a result of both lower rate of SOH (homestead) program participation and a significant percent (about 38%) of stock built since the year 2000. These developments include Waterside, Estancia, The Harbors, Coastal Bay Colony and Murano Bay. As Table 8 shows, only about one-fourth of all townhomes have a taxable value below $50,000, while tz 56% of single-family homes do.

The lat- ter are all part of Hampshire Gardens, an age–restricted community built in the 1960's (median taxable value $27,500). The median taxable value for all the condominiums is $58,300. Most of the condo stock consists of older buildings developed in the 1970's and early 1980's, with a median taxable value of$38,500. Newer condos, built since the year 2000, include Bayfront, Marina Village, Tuscany on the Intracoastal and Casa Costa. The median taxable value for these developments is $143,000. TABLE 9.

Among the rental properties with 10 or more units (26 parcels, 12 owners), one-half were developed between 1957 and 1974 and include between 10 and 24 units. The only larger apartment development in this group is Hatterras, with 6 buildings and a total of 72 units. Larger and newer apartment communities include Manatee Bay with 180 units, recently completed Manatee Seaview Apartments (80 units), Peninsula (70 units), and Seabourn Cove (2 properties with a total of 456 units). Within the Preserve at Boynton Beach, 114 units in 9 buildings are included in an income-restricted apartment community, while units in the remaining 6 buildings sell as condominium townhomes. Of the first three developments, Peninsula is the most expensive, with 3-bedroom waterfront units renting for as high as $3,275 as of February 2015, compared to the $2,800 rent for a 3-bedroom unit in Seabourn Cove. 180 HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE by Census Block Groups, 2009-2013 ACS 5-Year Estimates `ra Yt inter gagas2� sl'i- • 1 '!• kl Me. t. , � y [ 111 { f, L �;.-r , 4. rf u . ent r.L:.d + / 2!- = r i ri ����I���� I ce Ce > , 31v8 � ?? 4.

The 2015 homeownership rate may be lower still, with 900 rental apartments built since 2010. • Some 17% of homes were used for seasonal, recreational or occasional purposes; of a concern is a high share of such homes in the downtown area east of Federal High way, lowering the potential of achieving desirable pedes trian traffic. • Median values of homes in all categories are low: 78% of single-family homes and condominiums and 48% of townhomes have a taxable value below $100 K. 19 182 SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS The geographic unit for data in this section is a Census Tract. However, only two tracts-61.00 and 62.02-are completely enclosed within the study area.All of the remaining tracks transect the CRA boundary, extending west to Interstate 95; track 60.12 extends even further west, past the City bound- ary. The part of 60.12 enclosed within the CRA is a self-contained industrial area with a small but grow- ing arts "district."At the southernmost section of the CRA/City boundary, a 5-acre section of Tract 65.01 is developed with three commercial properties; its remaining portion lies outside of the City. "` Except for the analysis of the commuting patterns, which uses ACS block group-based data, this sec- • tion draws on the 3rd quarter 2014 Nielsen's Business Facts summary data (2-digit NAICS). .r Employment by Industry As Table 10 shows, the (extended) study area is dominated by small businesses, employing 20 or few- er people; on average, businesses employed about 7 workers.Tract 62.03, with two commercial nodes '•" on the southeast and southwest corners of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway, has, at 16.4%, the 4•"" TABLE 10.

Note:No data for tracts 60.12 and 65.01 were included.The out-of-CRA part of tract 60.12 covers large commercial job centers around Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road.With the total employment of 8,811, it would have skewed the summary statistics. 30 183 highest percentage of establishments employing more than 20 workers. Generally, employment densities as measured by number of jobs per acre are low. This is especially signifi- cant since most of the area within Census tracts 61.0, 62.01 and 62.02 is part of the Downtown Transit-Ori- ented Development District. The employment densities in these tracts are 3.11, 7.12 and 4.34 jobs per acre while the Community Center station, a model for the Boynton Beach Downtown TOD District, stipulates densities between 45 and 65 jobs per acre (see the 2012 Florida Department of Transportation's Florida TOD Guidebook). The industry with by far the highest share of total employment in 2014 was retail trade at 22.4%, closely followed by healthcare/social assistance at 20.5%. The share of the next two industries, accommodation/ food services and construction, was much lower at 11.9% and 7.7%, respectively. Of the two Census tracts fully enclosed within the CRA area, tract 62.02 has a relatively high concentration of the healthcare and social assistance jobs, and the highest share of professional/scientific and technical assistance jobs. (Tract 63.00 clearly dominates in healthcare employment due to the location of the Bethesda Hospital within its borders, but the facility is outside of the CRA.) Retail trade dominates in tract 61.00. For parcel-based information on selected group of uses, see also the analysis utilizing the Florida Depart- ment of Revenue's land use codes (The CRA Current Land Use Profile section of this report). Sales Since tract 60.12 has both the highest job number and sales per acre (see Table 6), and its major commer- cial section is outside of the CRA area, it was again omitted from the table as was tract 65.01, located mostly outside of the City.Among the remaining tracts, tract 62.02 ranks first in sales, but has fewer than one-half the number of jobs per acre than tract 62.01. However, its employment-by-industry profile shows a significant share of healthcare and professional jobs, generating higher per-job sales than establishments present in 62.01 (where the City Hall is located and 47% of workers are employed in public administration).

(The Buying Power Index (BPI), not calculated here, is based on a formula which includes effective buying income as well as population and retail sales.) Table 12 shows EBI density-aggregated household effective buying income per acre-for Census tracts in the extended study area. Within the downtown area and vicinity (1-mile buffer around the intersection of Boynton Beach Boule- tovard and Federal Highway), tract 62.02 has the highest EBI density. Even though it does not have a high median household income, it has by far the highest number of households per acre. Population density and average effective buying income determine the magnitude of an area's buying power. ass lit a WO TABLE 12.

This can be explained by the age distribution: 62.022 has the highest percentage of people 65 and over(69.5%) and a highest median resident age of 72.2;thus, it also has a very low labor force participation.

As per the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Con- servation Overlay on 27 acres at the center of downtown restricts development of affected prop- erties, requiring preservation of 25% of the native habitat (federal, state and county laws may addi- tionally apply if mangroves occur.) The downtown Conservation Overlay spans over one-half of wa- terfront properties located east of Federal Highway between NE 6th Court and NE 2nd Avenue. Among the zoning districts applicable to the CRA (see Figure 13), Mixed Use Low (MU-L) has been replaced by three districts with varying densities— Mixed Use Low 1, 2, and 3. The Central Business District will eventually be replaced by the Mixed Use High (MU-H) District, corresponding to the Mixed Use-Core Future Land Use classification which has already been preemptively applied 38 191 TABLE 14.

Seacreast Boulevard. The three largest clusters include two groups of small lots, one located between NE 4th and NE 5th Ave- nues, and the other between NE 9th and 11th Avenues, as well as two parcels south of NE 7th Avenue, consolidated into a property with an area exceeding 4 acres. Most of the lots in the first group face Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard on the north and south sides. The second group is clustered around a centrally located green space, and tentatively designated for the future Cottage District project. The large 2-lot, 4-acre property is a future site of the Ocean Breeze East project (Ocean Breeze West on the west side of N. Seacrest Boulevard has recently been developed with 21 single-family homes). While the Cottage District project is currently envisaged to be a low density development, the Ocean Breeze East and any potential projects on the Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard can avail themselves of higher density options of 30 to 40 units per acre approved as part of the 2014 update of the Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment Plan. In addition to vacant parcels owned by the CRA, the area contains some City-owned vacant land. On the west side of N. Seacrest Boulevard and directly south of the Poinciana Elementary STEM Magnet School, City-owned vacant lots will be utilized for building for-sale single-family homes as part of the "Model Block development. • 205 CITY- AND CRA-OWNED VACANT PARCELS • v: 'NW mouth r� c .• i .i X G : Pi - ,( NE 20th In _ 1J 1:2GU Ave J�7.

site to be entered into the FMSF is that it be over 50 years old. The FMSF is an inventory only and does not offer any form of protection for the sites included. See Figure 18 for location of historic sites. The FMSF Inventory within the CRA Boundary The sites listed in Table 16 are located within the CRA boundary; these were included in the original survey un- dertaken in 1996. The majority of these sites will likely be eligible for inclusion in the Boynton Beach Register of Historic Places (Local Register). Some may also be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places; however, a thorough inspection is required before a decision on eligibility can be made. The FMSF is currently being updated through an ongoing survey which will include all sites in the city built before 1965.As Boynton Beach expanded greatly in the post-war years, an estimated 1,500 sites need to be surveyed. This survey will update the current entries in the FMSF and will add a large number of new sites. Many of the newly surveyed sites will be eligible for inclusion in the Local Register and some may meet Nation- al Register requirements.

It should be noted that Table 2 includes three sites which are not yet fifty years old. They have been included due to their special architectural and historical significance and their uniqueness within the city. The Land Development Regulations state 'Individual buildings shall normally be at least 50 years old ...." thus allowing younger buildings to be designated if appropriate. 5`. 208 HISTORIC PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CRA 1 P1!!L f .1,:6,n. i!■j 111.1'111148 I :r: i 1 ♦ 11 i y 1.}I V, 18 C 1.1n MRK' iiiii s ) ; =I i1 40. iw i ,20,..1 r� 10TH_!

Federal Hwy National & Local Registers Significance: architecture and social history Built in 1926, the Boynton Woman's Club building is a fine example of a Mediterranean Revival structure from the Florida Land Boom era. It was designed by the renowned architect Addison Mizner and • its construction was partly funded by the estate of Major Nathan S. Boynton after whom the city is named. The Boynton Woman's Club, incorporated in 1911, was established to support the welfare and !1 civic growth of Boynton. The building housed the city's first library r until 1961, provided refuge for victims of the 1928 hurricane, served lir i as a U.S.O. center during World war II, and has been provided free of charge to host events held by numerous civic organizations. -- --- The The Woman's Club has sponsored many groups and offers annual scholarships to students who reside in the city and plan to attend a Florida college or university. Boynton School, 141 E. Ocean Ave. National Register Significance: architecture and education The Boynton School (Elementary School) was built in 1913 and is an excellent example of Masonry Vernacular architecture. It is one of the last works of William W. Maughlin, a prominent local architect who was known in Palm Beach County for his designs of several - - • public and private buildings, including the 1908 West Palm Beach High School. The building operated as a school until 1990, after which it was used for special programs. In 1994 the site was added 3 to the National Register of Historic Places and ownership was trans- peg :` ferred to the City of Boynton Beach. The Schoolhouse Children's r, Museum and Learning Center was opened in 2001. The school is built from rusticated concrete blocks, which was a huge step for- ward for the city as all previous school buildings were built from wood. The site has been associated with education since 1900, when classes were held there in a one-room wood frame school. The school is the oldest school building in the city. Audrey D. Gerger House, 331 NW 1st Ave. Local Register Significance: architecture The Audrey D. Gerger House was built c.1926 and is a fine example of the Mission style from the Florida Land Boom era. It is the only example in the city of a Mission style two-story duplex. The building retains many of its original architectural features, including shaped parapets, scuppers, moldings, and exposed rafter tails on the exteri- 51 210 or, and wood flooring, decorative fire surrounds, stairs, and doors in the interior. Previous owners of the property include Minnie Paulle, who paid off the mortgage on the Boynton Woman's Club . ‘111111k'' I. 4 ' l building; Leslie B. Crane, principal of the Boynton High School; °` 44 t v, ' and Clyde and Margaret Harris. Clyde Harris was the principal • • the Boynton High School and the Elementary School, principal of 0.0 4,1104/ Palm Beach High School, director of the 8th District of the Florida __ .• - Education Association, and a founder of the Orchid Society of the Palm Beaches. Margaret Harris was one of the first people to be born in Hypoluxo and her father was one of the barefoot mailmen. Oscar Magnuson House, 211 E. Ocean Ave. Local Register Significance: architecture Prfo The Oscar Magnuson House is a two-story Frame Vernacular structure that was built c.1919. It is one of the oldest structures in i i '�► the city. The building retains many of its original external features including the double-hung wood frame windows and wood siding. -. Internally, the original wood floor remains and almost every wall _ surface is finished with wood beading which runs vertically, hori- ¶ ' • h zontally, and diagonally. Oscar Sten Magnuson was born in Swe- den in 1875. It is not known when he moved to Boynton or when • he bought this property although we know he lived in a shed on • a� • the site prior to building the house.An early Boynton pioneer, • he earned a living as a farmer by growing ferns at his fernery on """ High Ridge Road. The ferns were packed in ice and shipped by rail to northern markets. Oscar also grew and grafted mango and avocado trees. Boynton High School, 125 E. Ocean Ave. Local Register Significance: architecture and education Built in 1927, the Boynton High School was the first high school in the city. It is an excellent example of the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture. Moreover, the two front corner towers incor- porate elements of the up and coming Art Deco style which was / , introduced in the 1920s.As a hybrid of the two styles, the building 4.0� 1„11 11,11 is also significant in the history of Art Deco, especially as so few till examples of this style can be found in the city. The school was � a,m, - • _ designed by the architect William Manley King who was a design- er of many Palm Beach County Schools and other notable build- '' ings. One year after construction, the structure was badly dam- aged by the 1928 hurricane when the second floor walls of the auditorium collapsed. Many people who were seeking refuge from the storm were injured. The school board retained King to over- see the repairs. The school retains many of its original internal and external features. The building, which operated as a school until 1990, has lain vacant for a number of years and is in need of repair. It is currently included on the Florida Trust's list of"11 Most Endangered Historic Sites for 2015" 5 211 Boynton Hills Lights, NW 1st Str. Local Register Significance: architecture and streetscape design The four Boynton Hills lights are located in the circular landscaped traffic : islands in a north/south direction along NW 1st Street between Boynton * - Beach Boulevard and NW 10th Avenue. The lights and landscaped areas • are an integral decorative element of the ornate street layoutpattern of ' • 9 Y , the Boynton Hills Subdivision which was platted in 1925. The lights, man- • , ‘_ ufactured by Westinghouse Electric, were once common throughout thet- city; however, only five are known to remain. The fifth light is located at the Boynton High School.A 1925 Westinghouse catalogue identifies the lights poles as the"Sheridan" model. The "hollowspun" concrete poles were _ manufactured by • pouring concrete into a mold containing steel reinforce- • ;:•;� � ; : ; � ` ment. The mold was rotated at high speed and the centrifugal force pro- duced a dense compact wall with a hollow opening along the length of the pole into which the wiring could be inserted. %, . • Ere Barton Memorial Park Cemetery Local Register Significance: archaeology, art, ethnic heritage, and social history The Barton Memorial Park Cemetery (historically known as Cherry Hill �.; •• Cemetery) was started as an unofficial burial place for the city's Afri- f ''~ can-American community.As it was not a 'official" cemetery, there are �: very few burial records. The earliest legible grave marker dates to 1926; • - however, it is likely the cemetery dates to c.1900. During the initial planning , . _ stages for the construction of Interstate 95, the proposed route of the high- � . - - `- way was planned to pass directly through the site necessitating the reloca- tion of burials. However, research indicates that the route of the highway lr- was altered to bypass much of the site. By the late 1970s, the cemetery 1_ n r, had fallen into disrepair. Mary Barton, after whom the cemetery is named, �;y' '" successfully petitioned the city to have the site cleaned up.Although only ' ' ' .i - • twenty grave markers remain, in 2012 a Ground Penetrating Radar Sur- vey—part of a successful archeology program undertaken by the City in conjunction with students from local colleges and universities—identified many underground anomalies which are most likely unmarked burials. Historic Preservation Education Program The Historic Preservation Education Program was initiated in 2013 by a non-matching CLG grant of $18,250 from the Florida Division of Historical Resources. This funding allowed for the creation of a Downtown Heritage Trail and Cemetery Heritage Trail with informational boards, an online interactive website, and trail brochures. The following year, an application for a second CLG grant for$27,200 was ranked first in the state. This funding is being used to create a city-wide mobile application including information on 170 sites of interest.As well as providing educational benefits, both projects encourage heritage tourism and contribute to economic development and city revitalization. The Historic Preserva- tion Education Program was awarded first place in the Florida League of Cities 2013 Florida Municipal Achievement Awards in the "Teaching Your City's History and Heritage" category. 59 212 INVENTORIES: PARKS AND RECREATION Park, open space and recreation facilities are classified according to a number of characteristics. including size, service area, population served, facility development, and general function. (See Table 18 and Figure 19 for location, acreage and a general description of equipment in each facility.) Community Parks Community parks are the largest active parks in the City and serve the largest population base. Com- munity parks are the most comprehensive in terms of recreation activities provided. These parks are the most expensive to build and maintain. The optimum service area of the community park is three miles.Although the optimal size of a community park in Boynton Beach is 15 acres, its actual size should be based on the land area needed to accommodate the desired uses and ease of access from throughout the service area. Wilson Park is the only community park within the CRA boundary. Completed in February 2008, the park has two basketball courts, two play areas, picnic shelters, and a multipurpose field. It also includes the Carolyn Sims Center, a two-story, 14,000 square foot recreation center that houses a game room, class rooms, multipurpose event room, and offices and catering kitchens. The refurbished John H. Denson Pool features a new triple water slide, water features, lanes for swimming and dressing rooms. Neighborhood Parks :1 Neighborhood parks are the basic unit of the Boynton Beach park system and serve as the recreation- . al and social focus of each neighborhood. These parks should accommodate a wide variety of user groups, including children, adults, seniors, family groups, and special populations and be centrally lo- cated within each service area, encompassing a Y2 mile distance (if possible, uninterrupted by non-res- idential streets or other physical barriers). The CRA area includes two neighborhood parks—Pence Park and Galaxy Park. The Civic Center has, aside from a recreation facility, play equipment and a maze made of shrubs. Galaxy Park has recently been relocated in conjunction with construction of a new Galaxy Elementary school; re-opened in 2013, it is now located north of the school. Pence Park is the oldest park in the City system. Urban/Open Civic Spaces Urban parks provide civic open space in the City for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors. Some will serve as elegant public spaces that are designed to complement the urban patterns of downtown Boynton Beach and will become urban oases amongst the bustle of downtown activity. The CRA includes four parks in this category: Veterans Memorial Park (previously Bicentennial Park), renamed after a memorial to the Veterans was installed there in 2008; Heritage Park, a popular gathering place in the Heart of Boynton with a monument dedicated to Boynton Beach African Americans; Kiwanis/Si- erra Club Park, a small grassy area located on Northeast 22nd Avenue; and Veterans Park, a passive park located in the downtown core of the City. Greenways/Bikeways Greenways serve several functions: • They tie park components together to form a cohesive park, recreation and open space system. • They emphasize harmony with the natural environment. • They allow for uninterrupted and safe pedestrian movement throughout the community. 60 213 • They provide residents with a resource-based outdoor recreation opportunity and experience. Since greenways are the preferred way to get people from their homes and into parks, adjacency to develop- ment areas and parks is important. Bikeways are urban trails that are paved segments of roadways that serve to safely separate cyclists and pe- destrians from traffic. Bikeways are those trails through the City that connect significant pedestrian destinations such as schools, parks, neighborhoods, libraries, shopping, etc. Palmetto Green Linear Park is located within the CRA on the south side of the SFWMD C-16 Canal. The path- way turns into several overlooks that can serve as fishing piers; however, a great amount of trash and refuse has been tossed off the platforms making fishing difficult. Barton Greenway connects the west terminus of the Palmetto Green Linear Park Extension south through Bar- ton Memorial Park to the north side of Galaxy Elementary School. Special Use Parks Citywide, parks that have a unique use include Little League Park, Kids Kingdom and the cemeteries. CRA has three special use parks: Barton Memorial Park, Sara Sims Park and the Kids Kingdom Playground. Barton Memorial Park contains gravesites of early African American residents dating back to the early 1900's. It is currently closed for burials. Boynton Beach Memorial Park is the primary public cemetery in Boynton Beach; there are several hundred gravesites remaining (the property was replatted to identify over 300 more sites). Sara Sims Park and Cemetery is an older park, with a plan for a redesign and expansion. The adopted Master Plan calls for preservation and enhancement of the historic graveyard and for creation of areas for community and family events. The CRA purchased properties to implement the plan, and additional ones are targeted for acquisition. Kids Kingdom Playground is a Leathers-designed wooden and concrete play structure, an extremely popular destination for residents, schools, camps and visitors. The structure was built in 1996, involving a volunteer effort by residents. Water/Beach Access Parks The CRA parks with access to the Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal Waterway include Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park (formerly Boat Club Park), Intracoastal Park, Jaycee Park and Mangrove Park. Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park provides boat access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. The fishing pier was replaced in 2004. The restrooms inside the community center were renovated, the playground equip- ment replaced, and the canal dredged in 2008. Intracoastal Park is the newest, and an extremely popular park in the system. A two story, 7,200 square foot building is available for rent for meetings, weddings, recreation programs and activities, etc. Jaycee Park's construction was completed in 2008. In addition to the facilities listed in Table 1, it has a walking path, open playfield, three pavilions, and two (2) bocce ball courts. Mangrove Park contains a 1/4 mile aluminum walkway through 10 acres of mangroves on the Intracoastal Waterway and includes educational kiosks and an observation deck. Trash accumulation in the mangroves has been a problem. 214 Recreation Facilities Aside from parks that are spread throughout the City, all of the community/recreation centers are locat- ed within the CRA. These include: • Art Center, built in 1992. Operates at capacity, offering classes in arts and crafts, teen and adult fine art, pottery, painting, afternoon recreation, summer camp, specialty camps, pre-school programs and classes. • Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park's Clubhouse, a 2,500 square foot building that offers painting and bridge programs. It is used by community groups and neighborhood associations for meetings and is also used as a rental facility. • Carolyn Sims Center, a 14,000 square foot two-story building completed in 2008. Programming includes pre-school, afterschool, teen recreation, sports clinic, social groups, summer camps, specialty camps and the Youth Violence Prevention Programs. • Civic Center, opened since 1962. Programming opportunities include youth and adult dance, summer camps, pre-school programs, Jazzercise, language classes, piano and keyboard classes, bridge, music concerts and Outlook Club for the sight impaired. • John H. Denson Pool, refurbished and improved in 2008. It includes a triple water slide, "tumble buckets"water play features, teaching area, deck chairs, large umbrellas and dressing rooms. Programs include junior lifeguard training, water fitness, adult swim ari VW classes and youth swimming lessons. • • Senior Center, purchased in 1998 and renovated thrice. Programming includes computer classes, card games, dances, live music, association and group meetings, health screenings, music lessons, lunch program, driving classes, group outings, safety courses and various special events. Local groups that provide a variety of services that include AARP, R.S.V.P, Delray Medical Center,Aker Kasten Community Outreach Program, Shopper Hopper transportation service, Mental Health Association of PBC and Mae Volen. 62 215 PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES :... . , ..._ .._..,....,.:_. r -,---- - „, i I 11111 . 2, ,.., .

The Public Art Ordinance was adopted by the City Commission in October 2005. The Arts Commission continues to serve the City by updating the Art in Public Places Strategic Master Plan, recommending guidelines and funding for implementation and championing the current program. Art in Public Places Program Art in Public Places' mission is to integrate the arts into the greater community. The program's purpose is to stimulate cultural interaction, education and economic development by selecting, siting, install- ing and maintaining public art. Its vision is to connect the cultural environment in Boynton Beach with the global community. The program is funded through the City's Public Art ordinance that collects one percent of construction value of development and redevelopment projects.As development occurs, public art is integrated into the architecture, infrastructure, landscape and greenways throughout Boyn- = on Beach. To date, 49 public art projects have been sited in Boynton Beach. (See Figure 20 for all the locations of public art throughout the CRA.) Avenue of the Arts The Avenue of the Arts is a year-long outdoor artwork exhibit designed to stimulate cultural interac- tion, education and economic development. The program, initiated by the City of Boynton Beach Arts 11111111, a Commission, is implemented by the Public Art Manager. Visitors and tour groups travel through seven blocks in east Boynton Beach to experience twelve inspiring artworks.Along the way, they learn about the City's amenities shops, restaurants, fishing and diving establishments. The Art Commission may recommend the purchase of one or more of the artworks for permanent placement in the City. To date, nine artworks were purchased, with many participating artists awarded additional commissions. International Kinetic Art Exhibit & Symposium Kinetic art is art that moves physically or optically. Held in 2013 and again in 2015, the biennial Inter- national Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium was created by the Boynton Beach Arts Commission and produced by the City of Boynton Beach through its Art in Public Places program. Its vision is to connect the global community to one-of-a kind kinetic art experiences. The free-to-the-public event features both indoor and outdoor kinetic art, educational presentations, (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art and Math (S.T.E.A.M)-based learning displays and the opportunity to meet world-renowned kinetic artists. The event positively impacts Boynton Beach's economic development, branding it as a cultural destination. Boynton Beach Art District(BBAD) The alternative contemporary art scene known as Boynton Beach Arts District has grown along Indus- trial Avenue in the industrial enclave west of Interstate 1-95, off Boynton Beach Boulevard. Created by artists attracted to the area due to the City's Art in Public Places program, BBAD hosts visitors, artists and tour groups from inside and outside the Boynton Beach Community. The industrial warehouse area, once an unsafe dump site, was transformed into a thriving arts community to promote cultural ex- change. Monthly Art walks, voted #1 in Palm Beach County, ever changing murals and interaction with artists create an environment where art comes alive. 66 219 PUBLIC ART LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CRA 1 s 1 ' 1 17 — . i 1 IIlll •� :1/ — a l l; I rim il--—11''10 • • I .,.n I,._'din..n.11li. j St-iliii.if.iii I Oillih' $ Y--.-i-fi-.-i -/111f�i / I. 1 A X1,7 .�_ I..II mm.lNmnlu 7-!!!Ic00C- y � s i 1s.} - Industrial Art District M44:11;' .N44: 1.4':2171.1'''''' ',t;' -',:','."1.; 11 lil I i..I 1-11 ! i I I I 1I n t1uti,wN�� nm �Iann-uu wunl�l07,4,..=.2;.I • II 11 a nnwa umlum_in...,„,, r_. mmm.s.m,.�-r N 2 II .l,fl a�N I n.ninil� • -= Li 1 -j-,--( i, .. . • �TT .,_t .—r i'. .,Et,1i ,,,, � v+" - 1111111t■ f,Ilin !kilt-l-a 6y ri6 MIN ■1� J .,• - '•. i ! .LIQ'-- ,Lm... .,._ :Lllna.M. 71.11,�_ i ■ 'LIU' 1y f I i — , � H.

A survey was conducted of a general sample of a variety of buildings and land uses within the CRA. The section begins with a graphic analysis that links the footprints of the selected structures with a street view pho- tograph. Information about each structure including the year built, type of construction, architecture, and square footage follows the images and is referenced by the corresponding map reference number assigned to that structure. This study will act as the basis for design, architectural, and site planning recommendations made in the subsequent redevelopment plan. Federal Highway District 1.

Identified Substandard Areas Utilities staff has identified additional areas with substandard water mains, water mains 4-inches in size or smaller, and/or inadequate fire protection. Three projects have been identified within the Federal Highway district: Potter Road & North Lake Drive, Lakeside Harbor, and North & South Roads (see Figures 21 and 22). Additional water main improve- ments are planned for NW 11th Avenue, and Central Seacrest Corridor Phase III (see Figure 22). Improve- ments may be necessary in the Heart of Boynton and Ocean Breeze East depending on the type of devel- opments undertaken. Utilities has also identified areas where there is substandard drainage and flooding associated with certain rain events. Two projects have been identified within the Federal Highway district: North & South Roads and Potter Road & North Lake Drive (see Figure 21 and 22). The Utilities will be commission- ing a study to review potential stormwater improve- ments for the Heart of Boynton area east of Seacrest Boulevard and Central Seacrest Corridor Phase III (see Figure 22). Reclaimed Water Boynton Beach Utilities is planning an extension of the existing reclaimed water main infrastructure at SW 23rd Avenue (Golf Road) and Seacrest Boulevard. Reclaimed water main piping will be constructed along SW 23rd Avenue east to connect to large irri- gation users along Federal Highway (see Figure 23). The extension will continue south to Jaycee Park and will include a subaqueous crossing of the Intracoastal Waterway to serve the St. Andrews Club and Little Club golf courses for irrigation. 240 UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS IN NORTHERN SECTION glaratooi " ( I ill • ii4 .

Medians with irrigation surface maintenance and the Utility Department 92 245 are being individually evaluated and repaired.All trees have been pruned in the past year to ISA(Internation- al Arborist Association) standards. Sidewalks As shown in Figure 26, the existing sidewalk network has many significant gaps in connectivity throughout the CRA, including downtown and adjacent neigh- borhoods. Since the year 2000, the City made some progress reducing these gaps.As a result of the sidewalk construction program implemented in the past 15 years, focused on making walking safer for grade school students, the current sidewalk network in residential areas close to schools requires minimal walking upon paved street surfaces, substantial- ly reducing students'exposure to vehicular traffic. Sidewalk construction in locations that experience the highest pedestrian volume along arterial routes and/ or those near pedestrian generators such as parks and commercial areas is nearly 100% complete. The sidewalk condition is adequate as well; the City has capital funds available for annual sidewalk repairs as needed based upon priority. Furthermore, improve- ments planned as a part of the All Aboard Florida rail project will bring forth sidewalk/pedestrian enhance- ments at the FEC grade crossings located at Gateway Boulevard, NE 15th Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, SE 5th Avenue and SE 12th Avenue. Transit Three PalmTran bus routes transect the CRA area (see Exhibit 27): #1, #70 and #73.
