Meeting Date: 03/ 3/2026
Proposed Resolution No. R26-031- Approve Amendment No. 1 to Task Order No.
GESUT-3C-03-25 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $100,000 for a new total
amount of $500,000 for professional engineering services required for the Wastewater
and Potable Water Models Update and Calibration Project.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Resolution No. R26-031.
Explanation of Request: This amendment is needed to accomplish the following tasks:
• Changes to Project Management and Meetings - Additional time to perform project
management activities for an extended duration (four months), along with corresponding
communication. Two (2) additional progress meetings (in person), one for each system, will be
added for the coordination and presentation of additional tasks.
• Changes to Data Collection and Analysis - Using successive versions of the City's GIS
database, the Consultant will update both the potable water distribution and wastewater
collection system models to address data gaps and inconsistencies. Model elements will be
renamed and reindexed to align with the Asset IDs provided in the City's GIS shapefiles.
Additionally, a flow meter package will be procured and installed on a wastewater force main
near the intersection of N. Congress Avenue and Savannah Lakes Drive.
• Changes to Hydraulic Models Conversion and Update - Consultant will update the
wastewater hydraulic model to incorporate 3.6 miles of gravity segments with manholes, 27
additional lift stations (for a total of 131 simulated lift stations), and 27.9 additional miles of
force main (for a total of 75.3 miles). Pump curves, pump control levels, and logic controls
consistent with the provided information will be included in the wastewater model.
• Changes to Hydraulic Models Calibration - Calibration of the model with the new
infrastructure operating in current dry weather and wet weather conditions is required.
Consultant will adjust appropriate variables such as flow allocations, diurnal patterns, lift
station operation settings, roughness coefficients, and inflow and infiltration potential to
calibrate the model.
• Changes to Deliverables and Documentation - Two summary sections will be added to the
Draft and Final Technical Memoranda: Water and Wastewater System Assessments
Summary and Business Case Scenarios Summaries. The hydraulic models' deliverables will
include one additional scenario per business case evaluated.
28
• New Task 6 - Water and Wastewater System Assessments - The objective is to identify
hydraulic deficiencies with respect to the City's standard level of service and industry
performance criteria to define and prioritize immediate capital investment needs. For the
wastewater collection system, this includes identifying lift station capacity exceedances and
evaluating force main capacity under both dry-weather and wet-weather conditions. For the
water distribution system, this includes assessment of existing distribution and transmission
pipelines relative to typical municipal design standards and identification of restrictions and
headloss within the system.
• New Task 7 - Business Case Scenarios - The goal is to generate operational and
management strategies that work hydraulically and promote economic sustainability for the
City. For the wastewater collection system, this includes assessing impacts of inflow and
infiltration on pumping and force main capacity, evaluating lift station pumping efficiency,
assessing the ability to convey flows to the SCRWWTP using diversion and isolation valves,
and evaluating impacts from changes in large customer demands and septic-to-sewer
conversion. For the potable water distribution system, this includes evaluating water quality
based on water age, assessing the ability to serve the City using a single water treatment
plant, evaluating fire flow availability, and assessing impacts from systemwide demand
changes.
How will this affect city programs or services? This project will provide the City with
comprehensive, calibrated hydraulic models for both the wastewater collection system and
potable water distribution system. These models will enable the City to identify immediate
infrastructure needs, prioritize capital investments, optimize system operations, respond to
regulatory agency inquiries with confidence, and plan for future growth. The assessments and
business case scenarios will support informed decision-making regarding system
improvements, operational strategies, and economic sustainability for the City's utility systems.
Budgeted Item: Yes
Account Line Item and Description: US2403 - 403.5000.533.31.90 (Water) - 50K available
US2403 - 403.5000.535.31.90 (Sewer) - 50K available
Fiscal Impact: The amendment was budgeted in the 2026 CIP Budget.
This amendment will increase the contract value by $100,000, bringing the total contract
amount to $500,000. While this represents an additional cost to complete the task order, the
investment in creating comprehensive, calibrated hydraulic models will generate significant
long-term cost savings for the City. These models will enable staff to identify and prioritize
capital improvements efficiently, optimize system operations to reduce energy costs, avoid
costly emergency repairs through proactive planning, and make informed decisions that
prevent unnecessary infrastructure investments. The ability to accurately model various
scenarios will ensure that future capital projects are appropriately sized and strategically
located, maximizing return on investment and extending the useful life of existing
infrastructure.

Background
The original Task Order (TO) provides engineering services for Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) to update and
calibrate the City’s wastewater model and the City’s potable water model to existing infrastructure and
operating conditions. This amendment adds new tasks to use the calibrated models to evaluate immediate
system needs. Carollo understands that the City is also interested in the identification and timing of future
needs (a Master Plan), however, that stage will be covered under a separate assignment.
The scope changes and proposed additions are as follows:
TASK 1 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
Amendment to Subtask 1.2 – Project Management and Communication
Time to perform project management activities for an additional duration (four months), along w ith
corresponding communication.
Amendment to Subtask 1.2 – Project Kickoff Meeting and Progress Meetings
Two (2) additional progress meetings (in person), one for each system , will be added for the coordination
and presentation of additional tasks.
(No amendment to Subtask 1.3)
TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Amendment to Subtask 2.4 – GIS Data & Coordination
Using successive versions of the City’s GIS database, Carollo will update both the potable water distribution
and wastewater collection system models to address data gaps and inconsistencies identified in the initial
datasets, with particular focus on pipe diameters and material attributes.
Model elements within both the potable water and wastewater models will also be renamed and reindexed
to align with the Asset IDs provided in the City’s GIS shapefiles, improving consistency between the models
and the City’s asset management records.
New Subtask 2.8 – Flow Meter Package and Installation
Carollo will coordinate the procurement and installation of a clamp -on flow meter and associated
transducers on a wastewater force main near the intersection of N. Congress Avenue and Savannah Lakes
Drive, as requested by the City.
The cost of the flow meter and related vendor services are as follows:
1. The proposed equipment to be procured on behalf of the City includes the following : One unit of
Flexim F401 flow meter (item 410011-20)
2. Two sets of flow transducers (items 411020 -2 and 411021-2)
3. One unit of Flexim Power Pack PP026NN backup battery (item 412060-6)
46
The selected vendor will deliver the equipment to the project site and provide installation, start-up, and
operational support services, including on -site training for City staff on equipment installation, operation,
data interpretation, and use of the associated data visualizati on software (Fluxdiag).
Following installation, Carollo will conduct site visits, as needed, to download, review, and process flow
monitoring data collected upstream of Master Lift Station 317.
(No Change to Subtasks 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.5 through 2.7)
TASK 3 - HYDRAULIC MODELS CONVERSION AND UPDATE
Amendment to Subtask 3.1 – Gravity Main and Force Main Extensions In Wastewater Model
Under the original Task Order (TO), Task 3.1 did not include updates to portions of the collection system
upstream of gravity mains due to the absence of recorded invert elevations at manholes, which are required
for gravity system modeling.
• To address this limitation, Carollo identified lift stations and force mains that could be incorporated
into the wastewater model and calibration effort if invert elevation data for selected upstream
gravity segments were made available. Based on this asse ssment, the City proposed to provide the
necessary records and amend the scope to include the following additional system components:3.6
miles of gravity segments, with its manholes,
• 27 additional lift stations (for a total of 131 simulated lift stations),
• 27.9 additional miles of force main that are connected upstream of the identified gravity segments
(for a total of 75.3 miles),
With the inclusion of these data, Carollo will update the wastewater hydraulic model to incorporate the
identified gravity pipe segments and manholes, the additional upstream lift stations, and the associated
interconnecting force mains, and will integrate these elements into the overall model calibration effort.
Amendment to Subtask 3.3 – Addition of New Lift Stations Operational Attributes
Pump curves, pump control (on/off) levels, logic controls/operational rules consistent with information
provided will be included in the wastewater model.
(No amendment to Subtasks 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6)
TASK 4 – HYDRAULIC MODELS CALIBRATION AND EXISTING SCENARIOS
Amendment to Subtask 4.1 – Calibrating with Additional Infrastructure in the Dry Weather
Calibration
In addition to the effort to physically include infrastructure in the model, calibration of the model with this
new infrastructure operating in current dry weather conditions is also required. Carollo will adjust appropriate
variables such as flow allocations and diurnal patterns, lift station operation settings, roughness coefficients in
this infrastructure, as in the originally anticipated infrastructure , to calibrate the model.
47
Amendment to Subtask 4.2 – Calibrating with Additional Infrastructure in the Wet Weather
Calibration
Carollo will adjust inflow and infiltration potential in this infrastructure and its upstream sewersheds, as in the
originally anticipated infrastructure , to calibrate the model to wet weather conditions.
(No amendment to Subtask 4.3)
TASK 5 – DELIVERABLES AND DOCUMENTATION –Amendment
The work performed under this amendment will generate additional model results and supporting
documentation that build upon and complement the deliverables established under the original scope of
services. These results will support a more forward -looking planning framework and provide an enhan ced
technical basis for future master planning efforts.
Two summary sections will be added to the Draft and Final Technical Memorandums:
• Water and Wastewater System Assessments Summary
• Business Case Scenarios Summaries
The hydraulic models deliverables (in sewerGEMS and WaterGEMS format) will include one additional
scenario per business case evaluated. Refer to New Task 6 and New Task 7 for a list of scenarios.
NEW TASK 6 – WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS
The objective of completing the performance assessments is to identify hydraulic deficiencies with respect to
City’s standard level of service, standard service standards, and industry performance criteria, to define and
prioritize capital investment needs. Because the models utilized for these analyses will not yet include future
scenarios (which are typically developed in Master Plans), the identified needs will all be considered
“immediate”. Priority will be assessed by evaluating 1) how sustained in a 2 4-hour simulation a deficiency with
respect to the criterion is, and 2) the approximate number of customers (accounts) affected. When
deficiencies may be solved using operational optimization strategies , such strategies will be tested in the
model and suggested to the City when found feasible. These assessments are intended to provide a reliable
technical basis for identifying/understanding and addressing issues and to respond to regulatory agency
inquiries with confidence. Aside from being useful to assess the system needs, these scenarios will be useful
in the future to evaluate potential infrastructure and project proposals .
As part of this effort, system deficiencies, capacity limitations, and risks associated with the duration and
location of the deficiencies, will be evaluated across dry-weather and wet-weather conditions for the
wastewater system, and across average, maximum, and peak demands for the potable water system .
New Subtask 6.1 – Wastewater Collection System Assessment
The following assessments will be completed using the calibrated wastewater hydraulic model :
• Identify lift station capacity exceedances under dry and wet weather scenario and determine
associated pump replacement or upgrade needs.
• Evaluate force main capacity under both dry-weather and wet-weather conditions.
48
Capital improvement projects will be proposed to resolve identified performance and capacity constraints. If
options to improve the identified deficiencies by changing operations are identified, the model will be used
to test such options and a list of selected suggestions provided.
New Subtask 6.2 – Water Distribution System Assessment
The following will be completed using the calibrated water hydraulic model:
• Assessment of the existing distribution and transmission pipelines relative to typical municipal
design standards, including velocity and pressure criteria , to assess system performance and
identify potential capacity or operational constraints .
• Identification of restrictions and headloss within the existing distribution system, including
constraints at canal crossings.
Capital improvement projects will be proposed to resolve identified performance and capacity constraints. If
options to improve the identified deficiencies by changing operations are identified, the model will be used
to test such options and a list of selected suggestions provided.
NEW TASK 7 – BUSINESS CASE SCENARIOS
The main goal of these scenarios and their analyses is to generate operational and management strategies
that work hydraulically and promote economic sustainability for the City. The additional scenarios can also be
used to respond to regulatory agency inquiries with certainty and to test alternative business -case
assumptions. Under this amendment, only business case scenarios that evaluate existing infrastructure will be
evaluated. Future scenarios (which require flow and demand projections and their allocation) are not
included and will be developed and assessed to identify future needs for capital improvement under a
different work assignment.
New Subtask 7.1 – Wastewater Collection System Business Case Scenarios
Assignments proposed include:
• Assess the impacts of inflow and infiltration (I/I) on pumping and force main capacity.
• Evaluate lift station pumping efficiency based on pump starts per hour, wet well retention times,
and pump on/off control logic under severe wet weather flow conditions.
• Assess the ability of the collection system to convey flows to the SCRWWTP using diversion and
isolation valves under emergency operating conditions.
• Evaluate the impacts associated with changes in large customer demands and a septic-to-sewer
conversion scenario.
Findings for each of the above scenarios will be listed and potential solutions, both from an operational and
capital improvement standpoint, will be provided.
Subtask 7.2– Potable Water Distribution Business Case Scenarios
Scenarios will be developed with the aim of completing the following:
49
• Evaluate water quality based on water age for the existing system and under conditions where
the system is served by a single treatment facility (3 scenarios).
• Evaluate the ability to serve the City using a single water treatment plant (WTP), including
impacts on interconnections with neighboring utilities.
• Assess fire flow availability throughout the distribution system.
• Evaluate the impacts associated with systemwide increases or decreases in water demand.
Findings for each of the above scenarios will be listed and potential solutions, both from an operational and
capital improvement standpoint, will be provided.

Subject: Exhibit A: Proposal for Engineering Services
Task Order No. GESUT-3C-03-25 Wastewater and Potable Water Models Update and Calibration
Dear Mr.Webber:
As requested, we have prepared the following proposed scope of services for the subject project.
BACKGROUND
The City of Boynton Beach (City) owns and operates a wastewater collection system and a potable water
distribution system serving approximately 75,000 customers.The City has not updated or calibrated their
wastewater or potable water hydraulic models in 9 years and wants to continue using them as tools to evaluate
performance of existing infrastructure and plan for redevelopment/development and future flow conditions.The
City also wants to achieve a better understanding of the impact of wet weather on its master wastewater
conveyance infrastructure to improve resiliency.As a result,the City wants to update the hydraulic models with
the most current GIS database, and calibrate the models based on select field testing and SCADA information.
This Task Order(TO) provides engineering services for Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo)to update and calibrate
the City's wastewater model and the City's potable water model. Services to convert the wastewater model from
Innovyze InfoSWMM to Bentley SewerGEMS and the potable water model from Innovyze InfoWater to Bentley
WaterGEMS are also included.
The scope of services proposed as part of this TO is as—follows:
TASK 1- PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
Subtask 1.1—Project Management and Communication
Carollo's project manager(PM)will make staffing assignments, review work progress, coordinate quality
assurance and review procedures, and submit monthly progress reports along with monthly invoices.The PM will
manage the budget, schedule, and invoicing. Regular virtual coordination phone calls will be held with the City
PM and Carollo PM, monthly.

Subtask 1.2—Project Kickoff Meeting and Progress Meetings
Carollo will facilitate a working Kickoff Meeting (in person)to discuss project goals and expectations. One (1)
virtual progress meeting will be held to discuss field test needs and other data requirements for calibration.Two
2) additional progress meetings (in person), one for each system, are included to review preliminary calibration
results for the potable water and the wastewater hydraulic models.
Subtask 1.3—Coordination with Other Ongoing Task Orders
Time will be included under this subtask to coordinate activities among this and other TOs currently under
development by Carollo, including the Boynton Beach Consent Order Assistance TO and the Boynton Beach
Asset Management TO.This coordination of activities will be done through periodic internal meetings of the
Carollo teams and will lead to streamlined management of information and quality of data and time/schedule
savings.
Task 1 Deliverables:
Monthly progress reports and invoices.
Meeting agendas, presentations, and minutes in electronic format(PDF).
TASK 2 - DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Subtask 2.1—Collection System Data Collection: SCADA and Wet Weather Records
Carollo will begin the project by requesting updated information, including:
Latest GIS sewer database (.gdb or.shp format)
Daily average influent flow totals into the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
SCRWWTP) measured upstream of headworks, Boynton side only, for the last five (5)years. (.xlsx
spreadsheet format).
Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the period when field testing will be performed. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the five highest flow days within the last 5 years. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the five lowest flow days within the last 5 years. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
Additional hourly data may be requested after the analysis of the historical data is completed.
Lift station SCADA for the last year, including:
o Pump runtimes (daily frequency for tandem lift stations, hourly for master lift stations, as
available). (.xlsx spreadsheet format).
o Pump status or pumps starts summaries (daily frequency for tandem lift stations, hourly for
master lift stations, as available). (.xlsx spreadsheet format).
Confirmed pump control levels (floats depth from wet well rim for tandem/submersible lift stations, and
on/off/alarms elevations for master lift stations) (summarized in .xlsx spreadsheet format).
Record drawings of any lift station configuration change that has occurred over the last 9 years. (.pdf

Record drawings of force main configuration changes that have occurred over the last 9 years, if not
reflected in GIS. (.pdf format)
Excel (.xlsx format)files with:
o Updated pump curves information by lift station
o Pump design parameters such as horsepower, rated flow and head, impeller diameter, number
of pumps if updated, and connection size as available.
o Annotations as to how the operator envisions the pump station would operate better, i.e. lead
pump operating longer than jockey pumps.
o Dated history of wet well overflows or instances where emergency operations were necessary to
avoid overflows.
Carollo will provide an Excel template for City to enter this information if such is not already in a working
spreadsheet maintained by the City's Operations team.
Any change in operating strategies as redevelopment has occurred (written/email format or.pdf
diagrams)
These data will be used to update the wastewater model as described in Task 3, and to calibrate it as described in
Task 4.
Subtask 2.2—Collection System Field Testing
The objective of this subtask is to obtain an accurate dry weather flow(DWF) calibration data set and an accurate
wet weather flow(WWF) calibration data set. For best accuracy, both the incoming flow into a station and the
pumps response to it will be characterized in the field and reflected in the model. Because incoming flow is not
currently monitored by SCADA, Carollo proposes to retain the services of a Subconsultant to perform flow
monitoring.
Dry and Wet Weather Flow Testing by a Subconsultant:
In order to assess the impact of wet weather on the City's master wastewater conveyance infrastructure,the
services of a Subconsultant will be retained to measure incoming wastewater flow at the City's master lift stations.
These measurements are used to determine the amount of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) in the sewer system.The
flow testing will be over up to two extended (1 month each) periods (dry/wet)which will be scheduled at the
same timeframe that the City and Carollo perform pressure and pump testing.
Pressure and Pump Testing by the City with Carollo Assistance:
With the aim to verify pump curve/capacity and system pressure, Carollo proposes that the City perform wet well
draw-down testing at master lift stations during two different weather conditions. The field testing should be
programmed as follows:
After a period of approximately 5 days of dry weather, in parallel with dry weather flow monitoring.
During a period of wet weather, in parallel with wet weather flow monitoring.
A detailed testing procedure and form to fill out in the field for data collection will be provided by Carollo to the
City. One form shall be filled out per each location tested, each of the testing days.
Six (6) pressure loggers will be provided by Carollo,which shall be installed by the City to measure pressure at
the discharge force main of each master lift station (6 in total) prior to the commencement of the flow

monitoring and drawdown tests. Prior to the start of Task 2,the City shall identify a location within the valve box
of the master lift stations (typically at ARVs)where a1/4 NPT male thread fitting could be installed.
Two (2) additional Carollo-provided pressure loggers shall be installed by the City at force main locations where
ARVs are accessible and for a duration consistent with flow monitoring. The drawdown testing at master lift
stations is expected to occur within this timeframe.
Subtask 2.3—Collection System Dry and Wet Weather Flow Analysis
Carollo will collect publicly available rainfall data from South Florida Water Management District rain gauges
identified in Subtask 2.2 and classify the return interval and frequency of major rainfall events captured during
the extended period test(s). Dry periods will be identified as well.
For identified dry periods during field testing, characteristic dry weather flow volumes and diurnal patterns will be
developed for each site with recorded data. Base sanitary flows will be compared vs.water billing data within the
master lift station basins to approximate the proportion of groundwater infiltration. Results will be used in dry
weather flow (DWF) scenarios of the hydraulic model.
Wet weather response to the identified major rainfall events will be analyzed for each site with available flow data
from field testing.The I&I response for each test site will be documented and replicated in the wet weather flow
WWF) scenarios of the hydraulic model. Two storms with significant effects on the influent flow to the SCRWWTP
will be selected for use in hourly calibration and total daily flow verification, respectively. Significant wet weather
events are best determined by detailed data review but are typically considered to be storms greater than 1-inch
which result in a (measurable or observable) response in the observed flow at monitoring locations and the
WWTP.
Subtask 2.4—GIS Data &Coordination
Upon receiving from the City,the requested list of recently developed/redeveloped areas where changes to the
potable water distribution system and wastewater collection system have not yet been reflected in the City GIS,
Carollo will provide a virtual coordination and guidance workshop with the City GIS Department for City staff to
draft necessary updates in the GIS from record drawings.
This task also includes coordination of updates from changes to the systems due to pipe replacement or
improvement projects not recorded in the GIS and gaps identified through other ongoing Task Orders by
Carollo.Virtual meetings are ideal for screenshare and individual multi-screen use for comparison and discussion.
If required, Carollo may provide files in .gdb or.shp format to the City to utilize in GIS update.The City will be
responsible for the integration of the updates into City GIS.
Subtask 2.5—Potable Water SCADA Data, Fire Flow Data, and Facility Records Collection
Carollo will request updated information, including:
Most up to date GIS water distribution system database (.gdb or.shp format)
o Including geocoded customer location point layer.
List of recently redeveloped areas where changes to the distribution system have not been reflected in
the GIS (written/email format or.pdf diagrams)

These data will be used to update the potable water hydraulic model as described in Task 3, and to calibrate it as
described in Task 4.
Subtask 2.6—Potable Water Service Billing Data Request and Classification
Water consumption information by account location and type will be requested (.xlsx format).This data is usually
obtained from billing/metering services.The City will also provide a geocoded customer point layer(.gdb or.shp
format)to join with and locate in GIS the data provided by the billing/metering services group. Consumption by
account location and type will be used for hydraulic model update as described in Task 3. Carollo requests that
any personal identification information of customers associated with each account be deleted.

Subtask 2.7—Sewer Exclusions from Water Service in Billing Data, Large Sewer Users, and Septic
Areas Information
Sewer flows will be calculated as a percentage of the potable water consumption for accounts with both water
and wastewater services.To do this, a list or a database field identifying the accounts that only receive potable
water service (that do not have a sewer connection) is requested (.xlsx format). Carollo will exclude such accounts
from the wastewater hydraulic model.
In addition, a list of large wastewater customers and wastewater-only accounts and their location will be
requested (.xlsx format). Carollo requests that any personal identification information of customers associated
with each account be deleted.
Lastly, a map (.pdf electronic format)of the service area will be provided for the City to mark up the areas of the
City that remain on septic tanks.
TASK 3 - HYDRAULIC MODELS CONVERSION AND UPDATE
Carollo recommends that the wastewater hydraulic model be converted from its current software, Innovyze
InfoSWMM,to Bentley SewerGEMS prior to the planned retirement of product support for the Innovyze
InfoSWMM software by the developer(which is expected in 2026). In addition, Carollo recommends that the
conversion be performed concurrently with the update of the model and prior to calibration.This will be the
most cost-efficient manner to perform the software conversion.
To acquire software licensure for both water and wastewater products under a single provider, Carollo
recommends that the potable water model is converted to Bentley WaterGEMS. Similar to the wastewater
software conversion, this conversion would be performed concurrently with the update and prior to calibration.
Carollo will complete the modeling subtasks listed below for the conversion and update of both hydraulic
models.
Subtask 3.1—Wastewater Collection Model Conversion and Update/Verification of Physical
Attributes
In this subtask, Carollo will first package all the current physical attributes of the InfoSWMM model into GIS and
perform a comparison vs.the most current GIS database provided by the City. Carollo will update:
New infrastructure connected directly to the force main system (no gravity).
Force main and lift station connectivity.
Vertical datum and elevations where needed (canal crossings, interstate crossings,wet wells, isolation
valves, changes due to new development and redevelopment).
Carollo will then import the updated physical attributes into a non-proprietary software (EPANET)that will allow a
subsequent import into Bentley SewerGEMS software. Once the base infrastructure is in SewerGEMS, Carollo will:
Perform topology checks for model connectivity/validity.
Use provided record drawings to review node elevations and assumed friction factors. Modify model
information if the pipe material has been updated due to recent projects, as information is made
available.

Subtask 3.2—Migration of Wastewater Sewersheds and Update of Sewer Flow Allocation
Sewershed polygons will be verified and updated from the City's GIS Department, as they have kept and
maintained the previously Carollo-developed sewersheds GIS layer.This update will be performed for all stations
including those not previously in the model.The result will be a single sewershed for each lift station there will be
in the model.The entire service area will be covered by sewersheds, except for areas on septic. Because of the
software conversion, and because a complete wet weather scenario calibration will be performed,these polygons
will be migrated from the GIS layer and embedded in the wastewater model as sewer catchments, which are
actual model elements that will be used for the simulation of rainfall-derived inflow and infiltration (I&I).
Billing records gathered and analyzed in Subtasks 2.6 and 2.7 will be geoprocessed in GIS and aggregated by
sewershed polygon to obtain average base loading flows at the level of lift station. The existing diurnal water use
patterns by account type will be captured and aggregated by sewershed. These base flows and water use
patterns will be compared to actual influent flow data (average and patterns, respectively) at locations where flow
will be monitored during the collection system field testing that will be performed as part of Subtask 2.2.The
resulting relationships will be used to load the different flow components at the different catchment elements of
the wastewater model.
The resulting flow allocation will be contrasted with 2020 Census data by census tract as a means to understand
how population density, as recently recorded by the US Census Bureau, compares to actual sewer service
allocation from metering.This TO does not include calculation or allocation of future/projected flows. However,
this comparison will be useful to understand whether allocation for the analysis of future scenarios (to be
developed under a future TO) shall be done using US Census Bureau projections or metered flows adjusted for
expected growth.
Subtask 3.3—Migration and Update of Sewer Lift Station Operational Attributes
Under this subtask, Carollo will:
Migrate, review, and update pump curves per data collected during this and other ongoing Carollo TOs.
Migrate and update pump control (on/off) levels.
Develop and program logic controls/operational rules consistent with the manner operators operate the
lift stations in the field.
Analyze lift station SCADA, monitored flows, and/or drawdown test results to determine existing
pumping operations when unavailable from operators. This will be completed to determine logic
controls/rules that will be necessary to mimic in the model.
Subtask 3.4—Potable Water Model Conversion and Update of Physical Attributes.Addition of
Redevelopment,Water Treatment Plant Pumping and Storage Infrastructure, and Interconnects
In this subtask, Carollo will make use of the GIS database provided by the City and as-built records of work
performed at the WTP and storage tank sites. Carollo will update:
Pipeline and pump connectivity due to replacement, upgrade, redevelopment, or corrections made to
the GIS database by the City's GIS Department.
Water treatment plant yard piping related to high service pump stations, meters to distribution, and

storage tanks (other components of the WTP are not necessary to reflect in the potable water
distribution hydraulic model).
Interconnects.
Vertical datum and elevations where needed (canal crossings, interstate crossings,tanks, control valves,
pumps, new development and redevelopment included in the GIS database).
In addition, Carollo will:
Perform topology checks for model connectivity/validity.
Review node elevations and assumed friction factors. Modify if the pipe material has been updated, as
needed.
Subtask 3.5—Update of Potable Water Demand Allocation
Consumption data from billing records gathered in Subtask 2.6 will be geoprocessed in Excel and ArcGIS. The
Thiessen polygon method will be used to allocate accounts consumption to junctions throughout the model
junctions.
The existing diurnal water use patterns by account type will be used, but their allocation to junctions will be
updated in accordance with land use type updates,to account for development and redevelopment. Several
combinations of demand patterns may be used to reflect mixed land uses where applicable. If separate customer
information is available by account type from Metering Services, proportional demands reflecting the split
between usage type will have respective land use type diurnal patterns applied.
Subtask 3.6—Update of Operational Attributes at the Potable Water Treatment and Pumping
Facilities—From SCADA, SOPs
Carollo will analyze flow and pressure SCADA to determine operational trends and correlations among pumping
operations and resulting system conditions and level of service.These trends and correlations will be used to
program necessary controls in the model.Controls may be demand-based, pressure-based, or tank-level based.
Standard operating procedures for an average flow day and for a maximum flow day, as available, and system
settings as provided by the City, will also be used to program controls and dependencies in the average and
maximum day scenarios.
SCADA data will also be used to update the seasonal production pattern,which will be used to relate conditions
in which the model is calibrated to average day demand and maximum day demand.
TASK 4—HYDRAULIC MODELS CALIBRATION AND EXISTING SCENARIOS
To obtain hydraulic models that closely mimic the City's systems operations, the hydraulic models need to be
reasonably calibrated. Carollo strives to develop stable models that are over 95 percent accurate for flow
predictions and within 2-7 psi for pressure, subject to the quality of the data.The resulting models would be
useful for master planning as well as for operational decision-making. If the models are also able to replicate
diverse existing scenarios (per field monitoring data and SCADA),the models would also be useful in conceptual
design.

Subtask 4.1—Wastewater Collection System Dry Weather Flow Calibration
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables such as flow allocations and diurnal patterns, lift station
operation settings, and roughness coefficients to calibrate the model to the following 24-hour extended period
patterns:
Boynton Beach influent flow to the headworks of the SCRWWTP during DWF conditions.
Five (5) master lift stations flows as monitored in Task 2.
Five (5) master lift stations discharge pressure from pressure monitoring during drawdown testing per
Task 2.
Pressure collected in the field from up to three (3) accessible ARV locations per Task 2.
Dry weather calibration is typically considered to be successful if it meets the following guidelines:
Peak Flow Rate: -10%to +10%of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
Flow Volume: -10%to +10%of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
Shape:the shape of modeled and metered flow curves should be similar.
Timing: The timing of peaks,troughs, and recessions of modeled and metered flow curves should be
similar.
Force Main Pressure:within ±2 to 7 psi.
Subtask 4.2—Wastewater Collection System Wet Weather Flow Calibration
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables such as R, T, and K coefficients for rainfall derived
infiltration and inflow simulation to calibrate the model to the following hourly, multi-day extended period
patterns:
Boynton Beach influent flow to the headworks of the SCRWWTP during WWF conditions, as identified in
WWF monitoring from Task 2.
Six(6) master lift stations total WWF, as monitored in Task 2.
Six (6) master lift stations discharge pressure or pump run patterns, as available from pressure
monitoring or drawdown testing per Task 2.
Pressure collected in the field from up to two (2) accessible ARV locations as available per Task 2.
Wet weather calibration is typically considered to be successful if it meets the following guidelines:
Peak Flow Rate: -15%to +25%of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
Flow Volume: -10%to +20%of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
Shape:the shape of modeled and metered flow curves should be similar.
Timing: The timing of peaks,troughs, and recessions of modeled and metered flow curves should be
similar.
Force main pressure:within ±2 to 7 psi.
If the flow monitoring effort included in this scope of work does not capture a significant wet weather event for
calibration, the City may choose to extend the monitoring period at additional cost.

Subtask 4.3— Potable Water Distribution System Calibration to Existing Average Annual Demand
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables to calibrate the potable water model to the following 24-
hour extended period patterns:
East and West WTPs finished water flow and pressure to distribution.
Water Tower and remote pumping facility flow and tank levels.
Select pressure points in the distribution system, as available from SCADA.
The calibration effort will be initially completed under the flow conditions existing at the time of SCADA data
retrieval. The calibrated scenario will be adjusted to average daily demand conditions using the updated seasonal
water production pattern generated as part of Subtask 3.6.
TASK S— DELIVERABLES AND DOCUMENTATION
A calibrated wastewater model that is suitable to evaluate the existing wastewater collection system physically
and operationally under both DWF and WWF conditions will result from this TO upon completion. A calibrated
water hydraulic model that is suitable to evaluate the potable water distribution system operations under average
day conditions will also result from this TO upon completion. The calibrated scenarios will provide the City with
the ability to run a variety of analyses and master planning scenarios that the City may elect to obtain as part of a
future TO.
With the objective of documenting changes to the City's hydraulic models for City staff reference, the results of
the project will be summarized in a Draft and a Final Technical Memorandums, which will include:
An introduction including general purpose and scope,
Condensed models update documentation such as data-supported parameters used to update and set
up the new elements in the models, calibration setup and accuracy, and necessary information
applicable to the DWF and WWF wastewater calibration scenarios, and average day potable water
calibration scenario.
Conclusions and recommendations for management of the models moving forward.
Carollo will focus on presenting information in graphics and maps rather than using primarily report text.
Detailed tables will be used to summarize models input and calibration results. City staff will be asked to provide
comments on the Draft Technical Memorandum. The City may also elect to review the updated hydraulic models
at the time of Draft Technical Memorandum submittal. Upon receipt of City comments, the document will be
revised based on the comments and a final version will be issued.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
A detailed project schedule will be provided at the project Kickoff Meeting, or upon coordination with the City on
availability to perform the field testing. It is anticipated that the entire effort will be completed in 12 months. Per
City direction, precedence will be given to the wastewater model conversion and updates, which will commence
upon receipt of NTP. However, it should be noted that the timing of model calibration to wet weather conditions
will be dependent on the ability to capture a significant wet weather event during field testing.
CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
Because of the nature of this project, certain assumptions apply to this Scope of Services. To the extent possible,
these assumptions are stated within this document and are reflected in the budget. If the project task
requirements are different from the assumptions presented in this Scope of Services, or if the City desires
additional services, the resultant change in scope will serve as a basis for amending this project assignment or
initiating the development of a new project assignment as agreed to by both the City and Carollo. The following
assumptions and City responsibilities apply to this project:
Carollo shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the data and information supplied by the City
without independent review or evaluation.
The City shall attend all workshops and review meetings to maintain the progress of the project
according to the schedule.
The City will provide Carollo with access to facilities/sites for data gathering and data validation if/as
needed.
The City will assist with field testing as necessary, including making personnel available for the drawdown
tests, installation of pressure/data loggers, and fire hydrant testing. Carollo will provide up to eight (8)
pressure loggers for field testing.
The City will provide all required information within reasonable time, which is considered no longer than
2 weeks, after notice to proceed. Carollo will provide a data request list at the project kickoff meeting.
The schedule is based on timely receipt of data and may shift due to data requirements. The City shall
review Draft deliverables and provide comments to Carollo within a two-week period.
Although conversion of the models to a new software platform will be completed under this TO, the
procurement of the new software and licensing to the City are not included in this TO. Carollo will use its
own software for the development of the scope and model deliverables will need proprietary (Bentley)
software to be used by others, including the City. Software and licensing shall be procured separately by
the City for in-house use.
PROJECT FEES
The compensation terms are based on a Fee Not-to-Exceed basis with an upper limit of$400,000 with an
estimated breakdown by Task as shown in Exhibit B. Labor rates are based on the contract fee schedule shown in

Boynton Beach, FL 33435
Subject: Exhibit A: Proposal for Engineering Services
Task Order No. GESUT-3C-03-25 Wastewater and Potable Water Models Update and Calibration
Dear Mr. Webber:
As requested, we have prepared the following proposed scope of services for the subject project.
BACKGROUND
The City of Boynton Beach (City) owns and operates a wastewater collection system and a potable water
distribution system serving approximately 75,000 customers. The City has not updated or calibrated their
wastewater or potable water hydraulic models in 9 years and wants to continue using them as tools to evaluate
performance of existing infrastructure and plan for redevelopment/development and future flow conditions. The
City also wants to achieve a better understanding of the impact of wet weather on its master wastewater
conveyance infrastructure to improve resiliency. As a result, the City wants to update the hydraulic models with
the most current GIS database, and calibrate the models based on select field testing and SCADA information.
This Task Order (TO) provides engineering services for Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) to update and calibrate
the City’s wastewater model and the City’s potable water model. Services to convert the wastewater model from
Innovyze InfoSWMM to Bentley SewerGEMS and the potable water model from Innovyze InfoWater to Bentley
WaterGEMS are also included.
The scope of services proposed as part of this TO is as–follows:
TASK 1 ‐ PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
Subtask . – Project Management and Communication
Carollo’s project manager (PM) will make staffing assignments, review work progress, coordinate quality
assurance and review procedures, and submit monthly progress reports along with monthly invoices. The PM will
manage the budget, schedule, and invoicing. Regular virtual coordination phone calls will be held with the City
PM and Carollo PM, monthly.

Subtask .( – Project Kickoff Meeting and Progress Me etings
Carollo will facilitate a working Kickoff Meeting (in person) to discuss project goals and expectations. One (1)
virtual progress meeting will be held to discuss field test needs and other data requirements for calibration. Two
(2) additional progress meetings (in person), one for each system, are included to review preliminary calibration
results for the potable water and the wastewater hydraulic models.
Subtask .* – Coordination with Other Ongoing Task Or ders
Time will be included under this subtask to coordinate activities among this and other TOs currently under
development by Carollo, including the Boynton Beach Consent Order Assistance TO and the Boynton Beach
Asset Management TO. This coordination of activities will be done through periodic internal meetings of the
Carollo teams and will lead to streamlined management of information and quality of data and time/schedule
savings.
Task 1 Deliverables:
Monthly progress reports and invoices.
Meeting agendas, presentations, and minutes in electronic format (PDF).
TASK ( ‐ DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Subtask (. – Collection System Data Collection: SC ADA and Wet Weather Records
Carollo will begin the project by requesting updated information, including:
· Latest GIS sewer database (.gdb or .shp format)
· Daily average influent flow totals into the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
(SCRWWTP) measured upstream of headworks, Boynton side only, for the last five (5) years. (.xlsx
spreadsheet format).
· Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the period when field testing will be performed. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
· Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the five highest flow days within the last 5 years. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
· Hourly influent to the SCRWWTP for the five lowest flow days within the last 5 years. (.xlsx spreadsheet
format).
· Additional hourly data may be requested after the analysis of the historical data is completed.
· Lift station SCADA for the last year, including:
o Pump runtimes (daily frequency for tandem lift stations, hourly for master lift stations, as
available). (.xlsx spreadsheet format).
o Pump status or pumps starts summaries (daily frequency for tandem lift stations, hourly for
master lift stations, as available). (.xlsx spreadsheet format).
· Confirmed pump control levels (floats depth from wet well rim for tandem/submersible lift stations, and
on/off/alarms elevations for master lift stations) (summarized in .xlsx spreadsheet format).
· Record drawings of any lift station configuration change that has occurred over the last 9 years. (.pdf
format)
78
Keith Webber, PE

· Record drawings of force main configuration changes that have occurred over the last 9 years, if not
reflected in GIS. (.pdf format)
· Excel (.xlsx format) files with:
o Updated pump curves information by lift station
o Pump design parameters such as horsepower, rated flow and head, impeller diameter, number
of pumps if updated, and connection size as available.
o Annotations as to how the operator envisions the pump station would operate better, i.e. lead
pump operating longer than jockey pumps.
o Dated history of wet well overflows or instances where emergency operations were necessary to
avoid overflows.
Carollo will provide an Excel template for City to enter this information if such is not already in a working
spreadsheet maintained by the City’s Operations team.
· Any change in operating strategies as redevelopment has occurred (written/ email format or .pdf
diagrams)
These data will be used to update the wastewater model as described in Task 3, and to calibrate it as described in
Task 4.
Subtask (.( – Collection System Field Testing
The objective of this subtask is to obtain an accurate dry weather flow (DWF) calibration data set and an accurate
wet weather flow (WWF) calibration data set. For best accuracy, both the incoming flow into a station and the
pumps response to it will be characterized in the field and reflected in the model. Because incoming flow is not
currently monitored by SCADA, Carollo proposes to retain the services of a Subconsultant to perform flow
monitoring.
Dry and Wet Weather Flow Testing by a Subconsultant:
In order to assess the impact of wet weather on the City’s master wastewater conveyance infrastructure, the
services of a Subconsultant will be retained to measure incoming wastewater flow at the City’s master lift stations.
These measurements are used to determine the amount of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) in the sewer system. The
flow testing will be over up to two extended (1 month each) periods (dry/wet) which will be scheduled at the
same timeframe that the City and Carollo perform pressure and pump testing.
Pressure and Pump Testing by the City with Carollo Assistance:
With the aim to verify pump curve/capacity and system pressure, Carollo proposes that the City perform wet well
draw-down testing at master lift stations during two different weather conditions. The field testing should be
programmed as follows:
· After a period of approximately 5 days of dry weather, in parallel with dry weather flow monitoring.
· During a period of wet weather, in parallel with wet weather flow monitoring.
A detailed testing procedure and form to fill out in the field for data collection will be provided by Carollo to the
City. One form shall be filled out per each location tested, each of the testing days.
Six (6) pressure loggers will be provided by Carollo, which shall be installed by the City to measure pressure at
the discharge force main of each master lift station (6 in total) prior to the commencement of the flow
79

monitoring and drawdown tests. Prior to the start of Task 2, the City shall identify a location within the valve box
of the master lift stations (typically at ARVs) where a ¼ NPT male thread fitting could be installed.
Two (2) additional Carollo-provided pressure loggers shall be installed by the City at force main locations where
ARVs are accessible and for a duration consistent with flow monitoring. The drawdown testing at master lift
stations is expected to occur within this timeframe.
Subtask (.* – Collection System Dry and Wet Weather Flow Analysis
Carollo will collect publicly available rainfall data from South Florida Water Management District rain gauges
identified in Subtask 2.2 and classify the return interval and frequency of major rainfall events captured during
the extended period test(s). Dry periods will be identified as well.
For identified dry periods during field testing, characteristic dry weather flow volumes and diurnal patterns will be
developed for each site with recorded data. Base sanitary flows will be compared vs. water billing data within the
master lift station basins to approximate the proportion of groundwater infiltration. Results will be used in dry
weather flow (DWF) scenarios of the hydraulic model.
Wet weather response to the identified major rainfall events will be analyzed for each site with available flow data
from field testing. The I&I response for each test site will be documented and replicated in the wet weather flow
(WWF) scenarios of the hydraulic model. Two storms with significant effects on the influent flow to the SCRWWTP
will be selected for use in hourly calibration and total daily flow verification, respectively. Significant wet weather
events are best determined by detailed data review but are typically considered to be storms greater than 1-inch
which result in a (measurable or observable) response in the observed flow at monitoring locations and the
WWTP.
Subtask (.4 – GIS Data & Coordination
Upon receiving from the City, the requested list of recently developed/redeveloped areas where changes to the
potable water distribution system and wastewater collection system have not yet been reflected in the City GIS,
Carollo will provide a virtual coordination and guidance workshop with the City GIS Department for City staff to
draft necessary updates in the GIS from record drawings.
This task also includes coordination of updates from changes to the systems due to pipe replacement or
improvement projects not recorded in the GIS and gaps identified through other ongoing Task Orders by
Carollo. Virtual meetings are ideal for screenshare and individual multi-screen use for comparison and discussion.
If required, Carollo may provide files in .gdb or .shp format to the City to utilize in GIS update. The City will be
responsible for the integration of the updates into City GIS.
Subtask (.6 – Potable Water SCADA Data, Fire Flow Data, and Facility Records Collection
Carollo will request updated information, including:
· Most up to date GIS water distribution system database (.gdb or .shp format)
o Including geocoded customer location point layer.
· List of recently redeveloped areas where changes to the distribution system have not been reflected in
the GIS (written/ email format or .pdf diagrams)

· Any changes to high service pump stations and storage tanks over the last 9 years (written/ email format
or .pdf diagrams, or design drawing .pdf files as needed)
· High service pump station SCADA data for the last 3 years, for the East Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and
the West WTP, including:
o Flow to distribution (hourly frequency) (.xlsx format)
o Pressure to distribution (hourly frequency) (.xlsx format)
o Pressure or speed settings of high service pumps (status On/Off or Speed – signal frequency if
available) (.xlsx format)
o Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for pumps and drives (from O&M Manual), including
normally open or closed valves, normally used high service pumps (during an average demand
day vs. a maximum demand day vs. a day with emergency/fire flow/flushing protocols) (written/
email format or .pdf diagrams)
· Record drawings and cut sheets of the pumps after the last pump upgrade at the East WTP (.pdf format)
· Record drawings and cut sheets of any changes to the high service pumps and/or their configuration at
the West WTP (.pdf format)
· 3 years of SCADA (.xlsx format) for the 3 MG remote pumping and storage facility, including hourly:
o Flow
o Pressure (backfill and discharge as available)
o Tank levels
· 3 years of SCADA (.xlsx format) for the Water Tower, including hourly:
o Flow
o Pressure
o Tank levels
· The following pressure settings (written/ email format or .pdf diagrams):
o Filling pressure setting for the ground storage tank (GST).
o System pressure that triggers pumping/withdrawal from the GST
o Typical pressure at which the Water Tower starts filling up
o Typical pressure at which the Water Tower starts emptying
· Hourly pressure at points of the water distribution system where pressure is currently measured by
SCADA/telemetry (.xlsx format) for the past 3 years
· Any pump upgrades at the remote storage and pumping facility (.pdf format)
· Any change in operating strategies for the Water Tower since changes at the East WTP (written/ email
format or .pdf diagrams)
These data will be used to update the potable water hydraulic model as described in Task 3, and to calibrate it as
described in Task 4.
Subtask (.8 – Potable Water Service Billing Data Request and Classification
Water consumption information by account location and type will be requested (.xlsx format). This data is usually
obtained from billing/metering services. The City will also provide a geocoded customer point layer (.gdb or .shp
format) to join with and locate in GIS the data provided by the billing/ metering services group. Consumption by
account location and type will be used for hydraulic model update as described in Task 3. Carollo requests that
any personal identification information of customers associated with each account be deleted.
81

January 15, 2025
Page 6
Subtask (.; – Sewer Exclusions from Water Service in Billing Data, Large Sewer Users, and Septic
Areas Information
Sewer flows will be calculated as a percentage of the potable water consumption for accounts with both water
and wastewater services. To do this, a list or a database field identifying the accounts that only receive potable
water service (that do not have a sewer connection) is requested (.xlsx format). Carollo will exclude such accounts
from the wastewater hydraulic model.
In addition, a list of large wastewater customers and wastewater-only accounts and their location will be
requested (.xlsx format). Carollo requests that any personal identification information of customers associated
with each account be deleted.
Lastly, a map (.pdf electronic format) of the service area will be provided for the City to mark up the areas of the
City that remain on septic tanks.
TASK * ‐ HYDRAULIC MODELS CONVERSION AND UPDATE
Carollo recommends that the wastewater hydraulic model be converted from its current software, Innovyze
InfoSWMM, to Bentley SewerGEMS prior to the planned retirement of product support for the Innovyze
InfoSWMM software by the developer (which is expected in 2026). In addition, Carollo recommends that the
conversion be performed concurrently with the update of the model and prior to calibration. This will be the
most cost-efficient manner to perform the software conversion.
To acquire software licensure for both water and wastewater products under a single provider, Carollo
recommends that the potable water model is converted to Bentley WaterGEMS. Similar to the wastewater
software conversion, this conversion would be performed concurrently with the update and prior to calibration.
Carollo will complete the modeling subtasks listed below for the conversion and update of both hydraulic
models.
Subtask *. – Wastewater Collection Model Conversio n and Update/Verification of Physical
Attributes
In this subtask, Carollo will first package all the current physical attributes of the InfoSWMM model into GIS and
perform a comparison vs. the most current GIS database provided by the City. Carollo will update:
· New infrastructure connected directly to the force main system (no gravity).
· Force main and lift station connectivity.
· Vertical datum and elevations where needed (canal crossings, interstate crossings, wet wells, isolation
valves, changes due to new development and redevelopment).
Carollo will then import the updated physical attributes into a non-proprietary software (EPANET) that will allow a
subsequent import into Bentley SewerGEMS software. Once the base infrastructure is in SewerGEMS, Carollo will:
· Perform topology checks for model connectivity/validity.
· Use provided record drawings to review node elevations and assumed friction factors. Modify model
information if the pipe material has been updated due to recent projects, as information is made
available.

Subtask *.( – Migration of Wastewater Sewersheds and Update of Sewer Flow Allocation
Sewershed polygons will be verified and updated from the City’s GIS Department, as they have kept and
maintained the previously Carollo-developed sewersheds GIS layer. This update will be performed for all stations
including those not previously in the model. The result will be a single sewershed for each lift station there will be
in the model. The entire service area will be covered by sewersheds, except for areas on septic. Because of the
software conversion, and because a complete wet weather scenario calibration will be performed, these polygons
will be migrated from the GIS layer and embedded in the wastewater model as sewer catchments, which are
actual model elements that will be used for the simulation of rainfall-derived inflow and infiltration (I&I).
Billing records gathered and analyzed in Subtasks 2.6 and 2.7 will be geoprocessed in GIS and aggregated by
sewershed polygon to obtain average base loading flows at the level of lift station. The existing diurnal water use
patterns by account type will be captured and aggregated by sewershed. These base flows and water use
patterns will be compared to actual influent flow data (average and patterns, respectively) at locations where flow
will be monitored during the collection system field testing that will be performed as part of Subtask 2.2. The
resulting relationships will be used to load the different flow components at the different catchment elements of
the wastewater model.
The resulting flow allocation will be contrasted with 2020 Census data by census tract as a means to understand
how population density, as recently recorded by the US Census Bureau, compares to actual sewer service
allocation from metering. This TO does not include calculation or allocation of future/projected flows. However,
this comparison will be useful to understand whether allocation for the analysis of future scenarios (to be
developed under a future TO) shall be done using US Census Bureau projections or metered flows adjusted for
expected growth.
Subtask *.* – Migration and Update of Sewer Lift Station Operational Attributes
Under this subtask, Carollo will:
· Migrate, review, and update pump curves per data collected during this and other ongoing Carollo TOs.
· Migrate and update pump control (on/off) levels.
· Develop and program logic controls/operational rules consistent with the manner operators operate the
lift stations in the field.
· Analyze lift station SCADA, monitored flows, and/or drawdown test results to determine existing
pumping operations when unavailable from operators. This will be completed to determine logic
controls/rules that will be necessary to mimic in the model.
Subtask *.4 – Potable Water Model Conversion and Update of Physical Attributes. Addition of
Redevelopment, Water Treatment Plant Pumping and Storage Infrastructure, and Interconnects
In this subtask, Carollo will make use of the GIS database provided by the City and as-built records of work
performed at the WTP and storage tank sites. Carollo will update:
· Pipeline and pump connectivity due to replacement, upgrade, redevelopment, or corrections made to
the GIS database by the City’s GIS Department.
· Water treatment plant yard piping related to high service pump stations, meters to distribution, and
83
Keith Webber, PE
Boynton Beach Utilities

storage tanks (other components of the WTP are not necessary to reflect in the potable water
distribution hydraulic model).
· Interconnects.
· Vertical datum and elevations where needed (canal crossings, interstate crossings, tanks, control valves,
pumps, new development and redevelopment included in the GIS database).
In addition, Carollo will:
· Perform topology checks for model connectivity/validity.
· Review node elevations and assumed friction factors. Modify if the pipe material has been updated, as
needed.
Subtask *.6 – Update of Potable Water Demand Allocation
Consumption data from billing records gathered in Subtask 2.6 will be geoprocessed in Excel and ArcGIS. The
Thiessen polygon method will be used to allocate accounts consumption to junctions throughout the model
junctions.
The existing diurnal water use patterns by account type will be used, but their allocation to junctions will be
updated in accordance with land use type updates, to account for development and redevelopment. Several
combinations of demand patterns may be used to reflect mixed land uses where applicable. If separate customer
information is available by account type from Metering Services, proportional demands reflecting the split
between usage type will have respective land use type diurnal patterns applied.
Subtask *.8 – Update of Operational Attributes at the Potable Water Treatment and Pumping
Facilities – From SCADA, SOPs
Carollo will analyze flow and pressure SCADA to determine operational trends and correlations among pumping
operations and resulting system conditions and level of service. These trends and correlations will be used to
program necessary controls in the model. Controls may be demand-based, pressure-based, or tank-level based.
Standard operating procedures for an average flow day and for a maximum flow day, as available, and system
settings as provided by the City, will also be used to program controls and dependencies in the average and
maximum day scenarios.
SCADA data will also be used to update the seasonal production pattern, which will be used to relate conditions
in which the model is calibrated to average day demand and maximum day demand.
TASK 4 – HYDRAULIC MODELS CALIBRATION AND EXISTING SCENARIOS
To obtain hydraulic models that closely mimic the City’s systems operations, the hydraulic models need to be
reasonably calibrated. Carollo strives to develop stable models that are over 95 percent accurate for flow
predictions and within 2-7 psi for pressure, subject to the quality of the data. The resulting models would be
useful for master planning as well as for operational decision-making. If the models are also able to replicate
diverse existing scenarios (per field monitoring data and SCADA), the models would also be useful in conceptual
design.

Subtask 4. – Wastewater Collection System Dry Weat her Flow Calibration
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables such as flow allocations and diurnal patterns, lift station
operation settings, and roughness coefficients to calibrate the model to the following 24-hour extended period
patterns:
· Boynton Beach influent flow to the headworks of the SCRWWTP during DWF conditions.
· Five (5) master lift stations flows as monitored in Task 2.
· Five (5) master lift stations discharge pressure from pressure monitoring during drawdown testing per
Task 2.
· Pressure collected in the field from up to three (3) accessible ARV locations per Task 2.
Dry weather calibration is typically considered to be successful if it meets the following guidelines:
· Peak Flow Rate: -10% to +10% of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
· Flow Volume: -10% to +10% of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
· Shape: the shape of modeled and metered flow curves should be similar.
· Timing: The timing of peaks, troughs, and recessions of modeled and metered flow curves should be
similar.
· Force Main Pressure: within ±2 to 7 psi.
Subtask 4.( – Wastewater Collection System Wet Weather Flow Calibration
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables such as R, T, and K coefficients for rainfall derived
infiltration and inflow simulation to calibrate the model to the following hourly, multi-day extended period
patterns:
· Boynton Beach influent flow to the headworks of the SCRWWTP during WWF conditions, as identified in
WWF monitoring from Task 2.
· Six (6) master lift stations total WWF, as monitored in Task 2.
· Six (6) master lift stations discharge pressure or pump run patterns, as available from pressure
monitoring or drawdown testing per Task 2.
· Pressure collected in the field from up to two (2) accessible ARV locations as available per Task 2.
Wet weather calibration is typically considered to be successful if it meets the following guidelines:
· Peak Flow Rate: -15% to +25% of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
· Flow Volume: -10% to +20% of measured, or ±0.1 MGD for low flow sites
· Shape: the shape of modeled and metered flow curves should be similar.
· Timing: The timing of peaks, troughs, and recessions of modeled and metered flow curves should be
similar.
· Force main pressure: within ±2 to 7 psi.
If the flow monitoring effort included in this scope of work does not capture a significant wet weather event for
calibration, the City may choose to extend the monitoring period at additional cost.

Subtask 4.* – Potable Water Distribution System Calibration to Existing Average Annual Demand
In this subtask, Carollo will adjust appropriate variables to calibrate the potable water model to the following 24-
hour extended period patterns:
· East and West WTPs finished water flow and pressure to distribution.
· Water Tower and remote pumping facility flow and tank levels.
· Select pressure points in the distribution system, as available from SCADA.
The calibration effort will be initially completed under the flow conditions existing at the time of SCADA data
retrieval. The calibrated scenario will be adjusted to average daily demand conditions using the updated seasonal
water production pattern generated as part of Subtask 3.6.
TASK 6 – DELIVERABLES AND DOCUMENTATION
A calibrated wastewater model that is suitable to evaluate the existing wastewater collection system physically
and operationally under both DWF and WWF conditions will result from this TO upon completion. A calibrated
water hydraulic model that is suitable to evaluate the potable water distribution system operations under average
day conditions will also result from this TO upon completion. The calibrated scenarios will provide the City with
the ability to run a variety of analyses and master planning scenarios that the City may elect to obtain as part of a
future TO.
With the objective of documenting changes to the City’s hydraulic models for City staff reference, the results of
the project will be summarized in a Draft and a Final Technical Memorandums, which will include:
· An introduction including general purpose and scope,
· Condensed models update documentation such as data-supported parameters used to update and set
up the new elements in the models, calibration setup and accuracy, and necessary information
applicable to the DWF and WWF wastewater calibration scenarios, and average day potable water
calibration scenario.
· Conclusions and recommendations for management of the models moving forward.
Carollo will focus on presenting information in graphics and maps rather than using primarily report text.
Detailed tables will be used to summarize models input and calibration results. City staff will be asked to provide
comments on the Draft Technical Memorandum. The City may also elect to review the updated hydraulic models
at the time of Draft Technical Memorandum submittal. Upon receipt of City comments, the document will be
revised based on the comments and a final version will be issued.
Deliverables:
· Collection system hydraulic model (SewerGEMS file format)
· Potable water system model. (WaterGEMS file format)
· Project GIS files (in .gdb format)
· Draft TM (electronic .pdf)

PROJECT SCHEDULE
A detailed project schedule will be provided at the project Kickoff Meeting, or upon coordination with the City on
availability to perform the field testing. It is anticipated that the entire effort will be completed in 12 months. Per
City direction, precedence will be given to the wastewater model conversion and updates, which will commence
upon receipt of NTP. However, it should be noted that the timing of model calibration to wet weather conditions
will be dependent on the ability to capture a significant wet weather event during field testing.
CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
Because of the nature of this project, certain assumptions apply to this Scope of Services. To the extent possible,
these assumptions are stated within this document and are reflected in the budget. If the project task
requirements are different from the assumptions presented in this Scope of Services, or if the City desires
additional services, the resultant change in scope will serve as a basis for amending this project assignment or
initiating the development of a new project assignment as agreed to by both the City and Carollo. The following
assumptions and City responsibilities apply to this project:
· Carollo shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the data and information supplied by the City
without independent review or evaluation.
· The City shall attend all workshops and review meetings to maintain the progress of the project
according to the schedule.
· The City will provide Carollo with access to facilities/sites for data gathering and data validation if/as
needed.
· The City will assist with field testing as necessary, including making personnel available for the drawdown
tests, installation of pressure/data loggers, and fire hydrant testing. Carollo will provide up to eight (8)
pressure loggers for field testing.
· The City will provide all required information within reasonable time, which is considered no longer than
2 weeks, after notice to proceed. Carollo will provide a data request list at the project kickoff meeting.
The schedule is based on timely receipt of data and may shift due to data requirements. The City shall
review Draft deliverables and provide comments to Carollo within a two-week period.
· Although conversion of the models to a new software platform will be completed under this TO, the
procurement of the new software and licensing to the City are not included in this TO. Carollo will use its
own software for the development of the scope and model deliverables will need proprietary (Bentley)
software to be used by others, including the City. Software and licensing shall be procured separately by
the City for in-house use.
PROJECT FEES
The compensation terms are based on a Fee Not-to-Exceed basis with an upper limit of $400,000 with an

1.22.2 Designate in writing a person or persons to act as the CITY’s representative with
respect to the services to be rendered under this Agreement. Such person(s) shall
have complete authority to transmit instructions and receive information with respect

based on the specific Task Orders from each of the Scope Categories.
1.22.3 Provide all criteria and full information as to the CITY’s requirements for the Project,
including design objectives and constraints, space, capacity and performance
requirements, flexibility and expandability, and any budgetary limitations.

98
RFQ CW24-001 General Engineering Consulting Services A-9
1.22.5 Furnish to the VENDOR, if required for the performance of VENDOR’s services
(except where otherwise furnished by the VENDOR as Additional Services), the
following:
1.22.6 Data prepared by, or services of others, including without limitations borings, probings
and subsurface explorations, hydrographic surveys, laboratory tests, and inspection
of samples, materials, and equipment;
1.22.6.1 Appropriate professional interpretations of all of the foregoing;
1.22.6.2 Environmental assessment and impact statements;
1.22.6.3 Property, boundary, easement, right-of-way, topographic and utility
surveys;
1.22.6.4 Property descriptions;
1.22.6.5 Zoning, deed, and other land use restrictions;
1.22.6.6 Approval and permits required in the CITY’s jurisdiction and those from
outside agencies unless such approvals and permits are the responsibility
of the VENDOR; and
1.22.6.7 Arrange for access to make all provisions for the VENDOR to enter upon
the CITY’s property as required for the VENDOR to perform services under
this Agreement.
1.22.6.8 Consistent with the professional standard of care and unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, VENDOR shall be entitled to rely upon the
accuracy of data and information provided by the CITY or others without
independent review or evaluation.
1.23 SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
1.23.1 Following receipt of any Task Order, the VENDOR shall submit to the CITY, at least
five (5) business days prior to actual commencement of services, a schedule of
services and expenses for approval by the CITY before any services commence. The
CITY reserves the right to make changes to the sequence as necessary to facilitate
the services or to minimize any conflict with operations.
1.23.2 Task Orders will be issued to the VENDOR in the order in which the CITY wishes, and
shall be performed and completed in the order they are issued, unless otherwise
specifically permitted by the CITY. Minor adjustments to the timetable for completion
approved by the CITY in advance, in writing, shall not constitute non-performance by
VENDOR pursuant to this Agreement.
1.23.3 In accordance with the CITY’s Purchasing Policy Manual, proposals received by the
VENDOR as a result of a Task Order that exceeds the Procurement threshold amount,
will require approval from CITY Commission before the execution of services.
1.23.4 When the CITY issues Task Orders to the VENDOR, each authorization shall contain
a stated completion schedule. If caused by the negligent errors or omissions of
VENDOR, failure of the VENDOR to meet the stated schedule shall constitute a
default for which payment for services may be withheld until default is cured. Time
extensions will be reviewed upon request for extenuating circumstances.
1.23.5 It is anticipated and intended that the VENDOR will be authorized to begin new Task
Order(s) on a “rolling” basis, as some already assigned Task Orders near timely
completion. If a subsequent Task Order is issued to the VENDOR before it has
completed the current Task Order, the completion date for each Task Order will
remain independent of each other so that the VENDOR will prioritize the uncompleted
Task Order from the first Task Order and finish as soon as practical. Failure to
99
RFQ CW24-001 General Engineering Consulting Services A-10
complete the “older” Task Orders in a timely manner may adversely impact continued
early authorization to start subsequent work.
1.23.6 When the VENDOR has exceeded the stated completion date, including any
extension for extenuating circumstances, which may have been granted, a written
notice of Default will be issued within seven (7) calendar days of the date that the
default became active with a requirement of seven (7) calendar days to cure said
default, to the VENDOR and payment for services rendered shall be withheld until
such time that the CITY has determined that default has been cured.
1.23.7 Should the VENDOR exceed the assigned completion time, the CITY reserves the
right not to issue to the VENDOR any further Task Order(s) until such time as it is no
longer in default and the VENDOR has demonstrated to the CITY’s satisfaction, the
reasons for tardy completion have been addressed and are not likely to be repeated
in subsequent Task Orders. This restricted issuance provision may result in the
VENDOR not being issued all of the planned work the CITY anticipated in this
Agreement. The VENDOR shall have no right to the balance of any work or to any
compensation associated with these non-issued Task Orders due to the VENDOR
being rendered in default.
1.23.8 Should the VENDOR remain in default for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive calendar
days beyond the time frame provided in Paragraph 1.23.6, the CITY may at its sole
option retain another VENDOR to perform any Services arising out of this Agreement
and/or terminate this Agreement.

or otherwise existing and may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the CITY. The exercise or the beginning of
100

cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the CITY, the Agreement may be canceled by the
CITY upon giving thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice to the VENDOR.

recover, the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or contingent fee.
14. TRUTH-IN-NEGOTIATION CERTIFICATE.
A. Execution of this Agreement by the VENDOR shall act as the execution of a truth-in-negotiation
certificate certifying that the wage rates and costs used to determine the compensation provided for
in this Agreement is accurate, complete, and current as of the date of the Agreement and no higher
than those charged the VENDOR’s most favored customer for the same or substantially similar
service.
B. The said rates and cost shall be adjusted to exclude any significant sums should the CITY determine
that the rates and costs were increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or non-current wage rates or

15. SUBCONTRACTING.

the VENDOR uses any sub-consultants on this project, the following provisions of this Article shall
apply:
C. If a sub-consultant fails to perform or make progress, as required by this Agreement, and it is
necessary to replace the sub-consultant to complete the Services in a timely fashion, the VENDOR
shall promptly do so, subject to acceptance of the new sub-consultant by the CITY. The substitution

of this Agreement as set forth in the Scope of Work or applicable Task Order.
D. The VENDOR, its sub-consultants, agents, servants, or employees agree to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and its agreement with any sub-consultant for work to be performed

17. ASSIGNMENT. The VENDOR shall not sublet or assign any of the services covered by this Agreement
without the express written consent of the CITY.
18. NON-WAIVER. A waiver by either CITY or VENDOR of any breach of this Agreement shall not be binding
upon the waiving party unless such waiver is in writing. In the event of a written waiver, such a waiver
shall not affect the waiving party’s rights with respect to any other or further breach. The making or
acceptance of a payment by either party with knowledge of the existence of a default or breach shall not
operate or be construed to operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach.
19. TERMINATION.
105
RFQ CW24-001 General Engineering Consulting Services A-16
A. Termination for Convenience. This Agreement may be terminated by the CITY for convenience,
upon fourteen (14) calendar days of written notice by the terminating party to the other party for such

abandons the Agreement or causes it to be terminated, the VENDOR shall indemnify the CITY against
loss pertaining to this termination.
B. Termination for Cause. In addition to all other remedies available to CITY, this Agreement shall be
subject to cancellation by CITY for cause, should VENDOR neglect or fail to perform or observe any
of the terms, provisions, conditions, or requirements herein contained, if such neglect or failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by VENDOR of written notice of such
neglect or failure.
20. DISPUTES.
A. Any and all legal action necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Florida. Any legal action arising from the terms of this Agreement shall be
submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction exclusively located in Palm Beach County.
B. Correction of Work. If, in the judgment of CITY, work provided by VENDOR does not conform to the
requirements of this Agreement, or if the work exhibits poor workmanship, CITY reserves the right to
require that VENDOR correct all deficiencies in the work to bring the work into conformance without
additional cost to CITY, and/or replace any personnel who fail to perform in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement. CITY shall be the sole judge of non-conformance and the quality of
workmanship.
C. Remedies in Default. In case of default by VENDOR, CITY shall notify VENDOR, in writing, of such
abandonment, delay, refusal, failure, neglect, or default and direct VENDOR to comply with all
provisions of the Agreement. If the abandonment, delay, refusal, failure, neglect, or default is not cured
within seven (7) calendar days of when notice was sent by CITY, CITY may declare a default of the
Agreement and notify VENDOR of such declaration of default and terminate the Agreement.
a. Upon such declaration of default, all payments remaining due VENDOR at the
time of default, less all sums due CITY for damages suffered or expenses incurred
by reason of default, shall be due and payable to VENDOR.
b. CITY may complete the Agreement, or any part thereof, either by day labor, use
of a subcontractor, or by re-letting a contract for the same, and procure the
equipment and the facilities necessary for the completion of the Agreement, and
charge the cost of same to VENDOR together with the costs incident thereto to
such default.
c. In the event CITY completes the Agreement at a lesser cost than would have
been payable to VENDOR under this Agreement, if the same had been fulfilled
by VENDOR, CITY shall retain such differences. Should such cost to CITY be
greater, VENDOR shall pay the amount of such excess to the CITY.
d. Notwithstanding the other provisions in this Article, CITY reserves the right to
terminate the Agreement at any time, whenever the service provided by VENDOR
fails to meet reasonable standards of the trade after CITY gives written notice to
the VENDOR of the deficiencies as set forth in the written notice within thirty (30)
calendar days of the receipt by VENDOR of such notice from CITY.
21. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES.
21.1 Neither the CITY nor VENDOR shall be considered to be in default of this Agreement if delays
in or failure of performance shall be due to Uncontrollable Forces, the effect of which, by the
exercise of reasonable diligence, the non-performing party could not avoid. The term
“Uncontrollable Forces” shall mean any event which results in the prevention or delay of
performance by a party of its obligations under this Agreement and which is beyond the
reasonable control of the non-performing party. It includes, but is not limited to fire, flood,
106
RFQ CW24-001 General Engineering Consulting Services A-17
earthquakes, storms, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance, sabotage, and
governmental actions.
21.2 Neither party shall, however, be excused from performance if non-performance is due to
forces, which are preventable, removable, or remediable, and which the non-performing party
could have, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, prevented, removed, or remedied with
reasonable dispatch. The non-performing party shall, within a reasonable time of being
prevented or delayed from performance by an uncontrollable force, give written notice to the
other party describing the circumstances and uncontrollable forces preventing continued
performance of the obligations of this Agreement.
22. CITY PROVIDED INFORMATION AND SERVICES.

services; obtain or authorize VENDOR to obtain or provide additional reports and data as

23. ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS.
23.1 In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility projections, and
schedules for potential projects, VENDOR has no control over cost or price of labor and
material; unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect
operation and maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time
or quality of performance of third parties; quality, type, management, or direction of operating
personnel; and other economic and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate
project cost or schedule. Therefore, VENDOR makes no warranty that CITY’s actual project
costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from VENDOR’s
opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.

Proposed Resolution No. R26-032- Approving a Piggyback Agreement between the City
and Herc Rentals, Inc. for Rental Equipment, Products, and Related Services in an
amount not to exceed $150,000 per year.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Resolution No. R26-032.
Explanation of Request: Piggyback Term: July 13, 2024 - June 11, 2028
With (3) one-year renewal options.
Pricing is based on Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government agency and service
cooperative, which issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 040924 for Rental Equipment,
Products, and Related Services. The Department of Management Services, an agency of the
State of Florida, signed a Participating Agreement for an Alternate Contract Source Contract
72141700-25-SRCWL-ACS
This purchase will be procured through the piggyback exemption of the purchasing policy.
Piggyback contracts significantly benefit the City of Boynton Beach by providing a cost-
effective and efficient way to procure goods and services. By leveraging agreements already
in place with other governmental entities, the City can avoid the time-consuming and
expensive process of issuing its own competitive bids. This allows quicker access to needed
resources while often securing more favorable pricing due to the economies of scale achieved
through larger contracts. Additionally, piggybacking ensures the City can tap into pre-vetted
vendors who have already been thoroughly evaluated, reducing administrative burdens and
risks associated with vendor selection. Ultimately, piggyback contracts streamline
procurement, save taxpayer money, and improve the efficiency of City operations.
Staff recommends Commission approval authorizing the Mayor to execute a piggyback
agreement with Herc Rentals, Inc.
How will this affect city programs or services? The City uses Herc rentals for the majority
of the Events Department events. This locks the City into pricing for 3 years.

Meeting Date: 03/ 3/2026
Proposed Resolution No. R26-033- Approve increasing the annual expenditure of the
Advanced Metering Infrastructure Agreement between the City and Sensus USA, Inc.
for meter replacement, parts, and services to $4,000,000 per year, and approve the
second amendment to the agreement, in form and substance approved by the Utilities
director and the City Attorney's office.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Resolution No. R26-033.
Explanation of Request:
In 2017, the City entered into an agreement with Sensus USA, Inc. to implement an Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. This initiative aimed to modernize the City’s water meter
population through integration with the FlexNet AMI system and to support the ongoing meter
replacement program.
To ensure long-term continuity and adaptability, the City amended the contract in 2024 to
include an automatic renewal clause. This amendment allows for up to three (3) additional
renewal terms, each lasting five (5) years.
In May 2025, the City Commission approved an annual expenditure of $1.5 million with
Sensus USA, Inc. This funding was based on projected needs through September 30, 2025.
Following a comprehensive review of operational requirements, the approved Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP), and operational budgets, staff identified the need to accelerate the
meter replacement schedule. As a result, an increase in the annual expenditure is being
requested to support this expedited implementation.
Staff is requesting approval to increase annual expenditure for Sensus USA Inc. by up to $4
million, using the approved CIP budget for the Meter Replacement project, the annual
approved budget for parts and materials at the warehouse, and the Utilities Operational
budget.
Staff is currently working with the vendor to develop a revised amendment that
comprehensively documents all items being procured under the agreement, including
software-as-a-service. Upon finalization, the amendment will require the City Manager's
signature for execution. This approval request includes authorization for the City Manager to
execute the amendment once staff and the vendor have completed all necessary negotiations
and finalized the document.
This purchase is being procured as a sole source acquisition, which permits an award for
123
commodities, services, or construction items without competitive bidding when only one
available source has been identified. Qualifying circumstances may include, but are not limited
to, repairs or additions requiring the original equipment manufacturer, a single supplier within
the area, a franchised or licensed distributor or service provider, or a patented or proprietary
item. The vendor has submitted the required documentation to satisfy this requirement.
How will this affect city programs or services? This amendment and annual spend
increase approval will allow the Utility to replace meters at the end of useful life in an
expedited manner to ensure revenue is collected appropriately and customer bills are based
on verified water consumption.
Budgeted Item: Yes
Account Line Item and Description: CIP - Project # WT2315 Water Meter Replacement
Account # 403-5000-533-65-02. Warehouse Account # 502-0000-141-0100. Utility

Software. As meters and endpoints are marked installed through the field technician's mobile app, they shall be
deducted from the inventory levels.
H. The Utility Portal with VPle software shall provide real-time inventory management. The location of all meters being
installed during project shall be tracked from storage to technician, and to complete installation. The City of Boynton
Beach shall be provided the ability to access this information through the Utility Portal 24/7.
I. The Utility Portal shall provide a view to the City of Boynton Beach of the product inventory throughout the project.
Water meter and endpoint quantities shall be monitored by the Water Utility in real-time through the Utility Portal.
J. All inventory will be tracked electronically real time and reconciled physically on a monthly basis. The expectation is
that when the final inventory reconciliation occurs there will not be a single meter that VEPO cannot account for,
installed, or removed. Any missing meters are the sole responsibility of VEPO.
K. Data security- The data in the Utility Portal is secure. The software is built according to OWASP top security risks.
Penetration tests are run yearly by 3rd party security firms. All data is encrypted during transmission both for mobile
apps and browsers. Proper authorization is required when accessing any resource. The Web application is behind a
firewall and IPS and resides on Azure servers, which brings many security constraints by default. The database is
not accessible through the internet and all sensitive data is stored as encrypted in the database. Passwords are
stored as hashed with salt. The mobile app can only get the data the logged in user is allowed to access, nothing
more. VEPO is required to maintain the same levels of data security throughout the project as is outlined above.
Meter Exchange Process
City of Boynton Beach will provide billing routes, maps, and proposed schedule to minimize any billing impacts. City
of Boynton Beach must approve what meters are being changed out and when. City of Boynton Beach will do so in

Meeting Date: 05/ 7/2024
Proposed Resolution No. R24-106- Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign an
Amendment to the Amended and Restated Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with
Sensus USA for meter and equipment purchase and labor services for installing water
meters. The annual contract cost is negotiated to be increased to $1,500,000. This
amendment authorizes the City Manager to sign any ancillary document necessary to
implement the amendment.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Resolution No. R24-106.
Explanation of Request:
On November 7, 2017, the Commission approved a five-year (5) year renewal agreement with
Sensus USA for Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which has an additional automatic 5-
year renewal. This agreement guarantees superior service level metrics for accurate and
timely meter reads for the City’s water meter population. The agreement also allows the City to
purchase new meters and meter components from Sensus to add and replace any necessary
equipment when and as needed.
The City completed a meter change out to include AMI in 2014 and has been using Advance
Metering Infrastructure entirely across the utility service area.
This hosted system is maintained by Sensus and follows the service level agreement contract
metrics. The existing agreement provides for technical support, equipment, and warranties
and maintains efficiency standards in meter reading.
This amendment, while adding labor costs to replace 15,000 water meters that have reached
end of life, also guarantees the same labor and equipment prices for the next five years. It's
important to note that the current contract allows the software and hosting costs to increase by
3% on an annual basis, which should be factored into our budget planning.
How will this affect city programs or services?
224
The existing AMI system ensures timely reading of meters and allows for timely billing of
services that provides revenues for continued Utility operations.

Dear Ms. Holmes,
Please be advised that Sensus Inc. (a Xylem Brand) is the sole manufacturer and provider of
Sensus’ products including Water Meters, Meter Reading Systems, Testing Equipment,
Software, System Support Programs and Repair Parts. Sensus’ reading technology is a primary
licensed communication network that only Sensus products can operate on. Thus, there are not
any direct providers that could utilize the existing meter reading platform that Boynton Beach
uses to obtain their critical water utility meter reads. Additional justification includes:
• Dedicated Boynton Beach meter reading and smart utility network, SaaS Software
Agreement, and Billing Interface in 1st year of 5-year renewed contract term in place.
• Current read success exceeds contract rates are met. Allows for methodical hardware
replacement plan without disruption to system success.
• Another provider hardware would necessitate an additional network and billing interface
that would incur an expensive, time-consuming integration process.
• More than half of the utility is successfully updated. Another provider would have to
replace 100% of these meter locations including installation labor.
• Sensus Utility Date stores 3 year of hourly interval data that the City can use into Power
BI tools to better utilize water consumption data for financial and water operational
purposes.
• The City is starting the process of implementing remote turn-on services. Sensus Ally
meter and Endpoint are needed to provide this service to enhance the Meter-to-Cash
experience for the City.
• Smart Utility capability options are available currently to source water distribution leaks,
address wastewater challenges, and water quality monitoring.

Thank you for your business, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with quality
products and services for the foreseeable future.

Meeting Date: 03/ 3/2026
Proposed Resolution No. R26-034- Ratifying the approval of Change Order No. 2 and
No. 3 to the Professional Service Agreement with Koa Hills Consulting LLC, and
approving the expenditure increase in an amount not to exceed $275,000, for data
cleansing and validation services, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all
future necessary documents.
Requested Action:
Staff recommends approval of Proposed Resolution No. R26-034.
Explanation of Request: The City is moving from its legacy Naviline system to Workday as
part of a broader Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modernization effort. A transition of this
scale depends on data that is accurate, reliable, and fully validated which presents a
challenge, as Naviline accumulated significant data quality issues over time. Years of
workarounds, system customizations, and inconsistent data entry practices kept daily
operations running but gradually drifted from industry standards, leaving behind a trail of
duplicated records, formatting inconsistencies, and incomplete data fields.
Industry standards strongly recommend cleansing and validating data before any system
migration. Migrating legacy data puts system performance, reporting accuracy, and integration
reliability at risk, and errors that go unaddressed before go-live typically cost three to five times
more to fix afterward.
To support this effort, the Innovative Technology Department (ITS) engaged KOA Hills for data
conversion assistance through a professional services agreement. The initial agreement was
set at $57,000 and approved by the City Manager. As the project evolved, ITS identified the
need for additional services and requested Change Order No. 1, which brought the total to just
under the $75,000 Commission approval threshold.
As the project advanced, two additional change orders were necessary, both of which pushed
the contract beyond the $75,000 Commission approval threshold. To maintain project
momentum, the City Manager's Office approved both changes. Per the City's Procurement
Policy, however, Commission ratification is required for contracts exceeding that threshold —
and that ratification is what is being sought here.
Looking ahead and taking a more proactive approach to project planning, staff is requesting
City Commission approval to engage KOA Hills for up to $275,000 — billed at $190 per hour
232
— to support the project through completion. By securing this approval now, the City can avoid
incremental change orders and ensure the resources needed for a successful Workday
transition are in place without interruption. These services are essential to a smooth migration
and to maximizing the City's return on its ERP modernization investment.
This contract and purchase was procured through the Consultant and Professional Services
Procurement Exemption of the City’s Procurement Policy. Contracts for the service of
professionals or consultants requiring specialty training in the arts or sciences and/or requiring
holding professional licenses or certificates, including but not limited to the practice of law,
certified public accountants, or actuaries, management consulting, medicine, real estate
appraisal, or other areas of expertise as determined by the city manager or designee to be in
the best interest of the city, and not otherwise subject to the requirements of F.S. § 287.055,
as amended, may be entered into without competitive bidding; however, qualifications, work
history, and other relevant data shall be reviewed before entering into such contracts.
How will this affect city programs or services?
The proposal directly supports the City’s ERP modernization initiative, which is critical for
improving efficiency and service delivery citywide. By ensuring clean, validated data during the
transition from the legacy Naviline system to Workday, the City will:
Enhance Operational Accuracy
Improve Service Delivery
Reduce Long-Term Costs
Support Compliance and Governance
Account Line Item and Description: Change orders will need to be processed to fund the
existing purchase order. The accounts include the Utilities General CIP Fund account 403-
5000-533-46-91 and the ITS Software Maintenance account 001-1510-513-46-91.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost is not to exceed $275,000, funded from the ITS REPAIR/MAINTENANCE
SRVS. / SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE account. This proactive investment mitigates significant
post-implementation risks and reduces long-term operations costs, maximizing return on the
Workday investment.

of which pushed the contract beyond the $75,000 Commission approval threshold. To maintain 28
project momentum, the City Manager's Office approved both changes. Per the City's Procurement 29
Policy, however, Commission ratification is required for contracts exceeding that threshold — and 30
that ratification is what is being sought here; and 31
WHEREAS, looking ahead and taking a more proactive approach to project planning, staff 32
234
RESOLUTION NO. R26-034
is requesting City Commission approval to engage the Service Provider for up to $275,000 — 33
billed at $190 per hour — to support the project through completion. By securing this approval 34
now, the City can avoid incremental change orders and ensure the resources needed for a 35
successful Workday transition are in place without interruption. These services are essential to a 36
smooth migration and to maximizing the City's return on its ERP modernization investment; and 37
WHEREAS, this contract and purchase were procured through the Consultant and 38
Professional Services Procurement Exemption of the City’s Procurement Policy. Contracts for the 39
service of professionals or consultants requiring specialty training in the arts or sciences and/or 40
requiring holding professional licenses or certificates, including but not limited to the practice of 41
law, certified public accountants, or actuaries, management consulting, medicine, real estate 42
appraisal, or other areas of expertise as determined by the city manager or designee to be in the 43
best interest of the city, and not otherwise subject to the requirements of F.S. § 287.055, as 44
amended, may be entered into without competitive bidding; however, qualifications, work history, 45
and other relevant data shall be reviewed before entering into such contracts; and 46
WHEREAS, the City Commission, upon the recommendation of staff, has deemed it in the 47
best interests of the City's citizens and residents to ratify the approval of Change Order No. 2 and 48
No. 3 to the Professional Service Agreement with Koa Hills Consulting LLC, and approve the 49
expenditure increase in an amount not to exceed $275,000, for data cleansing and validation 50
services, and authorize the City Manager to execute all future necessary documents. 51

Proposed Ordinance No. 26-004- Second Reading, An Ordinance of the City
Commission of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, Amending Chapter 2, Article I,
Section 2 "Types of Land Development Applications;" and Chapter 2, Article II, Section

for codification; conflicts; severability; and an effective date.

second reading.
Explanation of Request: Staff is proposing to add an administrative approval process for
Community Design Appeal applications when the requests are appropriately mitigated and all
associated applications for the applicable project may be administratively approved. All
previous Community Design Appeal applications have been required to go to the City

B. Community Design Appeal. 52
1. General. 53
a. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this subsection is to provide a relief process that allows for 54
deviations from specific build-to line requirements of Chapter 3, Article III and any community 55
design standard of Chapter 4 of these Land Development Regulations. The intent of this 56
application process is not to provide a means of circumventing such standards but to allow for 57
flexibility, and alternative ways to meet the intent of the Code to yield high quality design, 58
architectural detail, and visual interest without negative impacts to the subject site or surrounding 59
properties. 60
b. Applicability. This application shall be applicable to any requested deviation from specific build-61
to line requirements of the Mixed-Use Urban Building and Site Regulations (Table 3-4); Urban 62
Commercial District Overlay Zone (Table 3-26); or any community design standard of Chapter 4 63
of these Land Development Regulations. The requested appeal shall be processed concurrent with 64
a site plan unless otherwise determined by the Director of Planning and Zoning or designee. 65
c. Rules. For the purposes of this subsection, a "site plan" shall be construed to include a new site 66
plan, major modification, or minor modification. 67
2. Submittal Requirements. See Section 1.D. above for the submittal requirements of this 68
application. 69
3. Review Criteria. In granting relief to any community design standard of Chapter 4, the City 70
Commission justification must find demonstrate that the subject appeal meets the intent of the 71
affected standard, does not diminish its practical application, and that an acceptable development 72
product and/or design will result. The following review criteria shall be used to justify an 73
application for appeal: 74
a. Whether the proposed request will demonstrate consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. 75
b. Whether the proposed request will not significantly detract from the livability or appearance of 76
the city and will be consistent with the established or desired character of the area, or with the 77
redevelopment plan, where applicable. 78
266
Page 9 of 11
CODING: Words in strike through type are deletions from existing law;
Words in underlined type are additions.
c. On balance, whether the proposed request will be consistent with the purpose of the standard 79
for which a deviation is requested. Granting the request will equally or better meet the purpose 80
of the standard to be appealed. 81
d. Whether the proposed request is intended to save or preserve existing trees or desired flora. 82
(1) Whether the applicant is unable to design or locate proposed buildings, structures, or 83
improvements and preserve the tree(s) and comply with all provisions of these community design 84
standards without causing the applicant undue hardship; and 85
(2) Whether it is not feasible to transplant the trees to another location on the subject site 86
considering the following: 1) shape and dimensions of the real property; 2) location of existing 87
structures and infrastructure improvements; and 3) size, age, health, and species of trees sought 88
to be protected. 89
e. Whether the proposed request will have adverse environmental impacts that cannot be 90
prevented by the imposition of conditions. 91
f. Whether the proposed request will have an adverse impact on property values of abutting or 92
adjacent land. 93
g. Whether the proposed request will seriously reduce the quality or quantity of light and air 94
available to adjacent properties. 95
h. Whether the proposed request is necessary to further the objectives of the city to assist with 96
economic development and business promotion. 97
i. Whether the proposed request meets the purpose and intent of these regulations but conflicts 98
with another site development standard or requirement, including sustainable development and 99
green initiatives. 100
4. Approval Process. An application for community design appeal requires review by the City 101
Commission, or by the Director of Planning and Zoning as outlined below, and shall be processed 102
in accordance with Chapter 2, Article I, Section 3. A Community Design Appeal application may 103
be approved administratively when the requests are appropriately mitigated and all associated 104
applications for the applicable project are administratively approved. 105

corresponding site plan approval remains in effect. See Section 2.F.5. above for additional 108
information regarding the expiration and extension of a site plan. 109

REQUEST: Approve amendments to Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2 Types of Land
Development Applications; and Chapter 2, Article II, Section 4.B
Community Design Appeal to add an administrative approval process.
________________
OVERVIEW
Staff is proposing to add an administrative approval process for Community Design Appeal
applications when the requests are appropriately mitigated and all associated applications for the
applicable project are administratively approved.
EXPLANATION & PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The existing Land Development Regulations require that all applications for a Community Design
Appeal must be approved by the City Commission at a public hearing. The Community Design
Appeal is a relief application to “provide a relief process that allows for deviations from specific
build-to line requirements of Chapter 3, Article III and any community design standard of Chapter
4 of these Land Development Regulations. The intent of this application process is not to provide
a means of circumventing such standards but to allow for flexibility, and alternative ways to meet
the intent of the Code to yield high quality design, architectural detail, and visual interest without
negative impacts to the subject site or surrounding properties.”
The proposed amendments would add an administrative approval option for applications that
include requests which are appropriately mitigated and all associated applications for the
applicable project are administratively approved by staff. This will allow for a more streamlined
process to keep the approvals at the same level, either administratively by staff or by the City
Commission based upon the specific project.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the subject amendments to the Community Design Appeal
section of the Land Development Regulations.

B. Community Design Appeal.
1. General.
a. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this subsection is to provide a relief process that
allows for deviations from specific build-to line requirements of Chapter 3, Article III and
any community design standard of Chapter 4 of these Land Development Regulations.
The intent of this application process is not to provide a means of circumventing such
standards but to allow for flexibility, and alternative ways to meet the inte nt of the Code
to yield high quality design, architectural detail, and visual interest without negative
impacts to the subject site or surrounding properties.
275
b. Applicability. This application shall be applicable to any requested deviation from
specific build-to line requirements of the Mixed-Use Urban Building and Site
Regulations (Table 3-4); Urban Commercial District Overlay Zone (Table 3-26); or any
community design standard of Chapter 4 of these Land Development Regulations. The
requested appeal shall be processed concurrent with a site plan unless otherwise
determined by the Director of Planning and Zoning or designee.
c. Rules. For the purposes of this subsection, a "site plan" shall be construed to include
a new site plan, major modification, or minor modification.
2. Submittal Requirements. See Section 1.D. above for the submittal requirements of
this application.
3. Review Criteria. In granting relief to any community design standard of Chapter 4, the
City Commission justification must find demonstrate that the subject appeal meets the
intent of the affected standard, does not diminish its practical application, and that an
acceptable development product and/or design will result. The following review criteria
shall be used to justify an application for appeal:
a. Whether the proposed request will demonstrate consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan.
b. Whether the proposed request will not significantly detract from the livability or
appearance of the city and will be consistent with the established or desired character of
the area, or with the redevelopment plan, where applicable.
c. On balance, whether the proposed request will be consistent with the pu rpose of the
standard for which a deviation is requested. Granting the request will equally or better
meet the purpose of the standard to be appealed.
d. Whether the proposed request is intended to save or preserve existing trees or
desired flora.
(1) Whether the applicant is unable to design or locate proposed buildings, structures,
or improvements and preserve the tree(s) and comply with all provisions of these
community design standards without causing the applicant undue hardship; and
(2) Whether it is not feasible to transplant the trees to another location on the subject
site considering the following: 1) shape and dimensions of the real property; 2) location
of existing structures and infrastructure improvements; and 3) size, age, health, and
species of trees sought to be protected.
e. Whether the proposed request will have adverse environmental impacts that cannot
be prevented by the imposition of conditions.
276
f. Whether the proposed request will have an adverse impact on property values of
abutting or adjacent land.
g. Whether the proposed request will seriously reduce the quality or quantity of light and
air available to adjacent properties.
h. Whether the proposed request is necessary to further the objectives of the city to
assist with economic development and business promotion.
i. Whether the proposed request meets the purpose and intent of these regulations but
conflicts with another site development standard or requirement, including sustainable
development and green initiatives.
4. Approval Process. An application for community design appeal requires review by the
City Commission, or by the Director of Planning and Zoning as outlined below, and shall
be processed in accordance with Chapter 2, Article I, Section 3. A Community Design
Appeal application may be approved administratively when the requests are
appropriately mitigated and all associated applications for the applicable project may be
administratively approved.
5. Expiration. Pursuant to Section 4.B.1.b. above, the community design appeal shall be
processed concurrent with a site plan. The approval of an appeal shall remain valid as
long as the corresponding site plan approval remains in effect. See Section 2.F.5. above
for additional information regarding the expiration and extension of a site plan.

Proposed Ordinance No. 26-006- First Reading- Approve the Sara Sims Memorial
Cemetery Future Land Use Map Amendment request from MeDR (Medium Density
Residential) to PPGI (Public & Private Government/Institutional) consisting of
approximately 0.94 acres, located at 201 Northwest 9th Court. Applicant: City of
Boynton Beach.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 26-006, at first
reading.
Explanation of Request:
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and owned by
the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community, the proposal
would be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with concurrent review of a
Major Site Plan. The property seeking the future land use map amendment (FLUM) and
rezoning was previously privately owned and held different FLU and zoning designations that
would not allow for a cemetery as a use. The FLUM and rezoning are required in order for the
expansion to continue. The request is a FLUM from MeDR to PPGI consisting of 0.94 acres.
There is a concurrent site plan review for the remaining site, consisting of 2.76 acres. There
are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing, with a proposal to add 116 child plots and 717
adult plots. There are additional proposed site improvements such as landscaping, a funeral
procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque, and a flag pole to the
northeastern most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the City of
Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2 which, according to the Land Development
Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would require a 12 to 15 foot
buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these uses. As this site is vacant and
unlikely to develop in this location, there is also a concurrent application for a Variance to
remove the requirement for this type of buffer that would only affect the east, west, and south
boundaries of the existing site and have negative effects for the full development of the
280
cemetery. Staff supports the variance as requested, as strict adherence to the requirements of
the LDRs would have a negative impact on the overall area for a park and cemetery.
How will this affect city programs or services? N/A

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
A notice of the requests was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject
properties, and signs were posted for the City Commission meeting dates. The applicant
has certified that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance
No. 04-007 & 05-004.
BACKGROUND
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and
owned by the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community,
the proposal would be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with
concurrent review of a Major Site Plan. The property seeking the future land use map
amendment (FLUM) and rezoning were previously privately owned and held different
FLU and zoning designations that would not allow for a cemetery as a use. The FLUM
and rezoning are required in order for the expansion to continue. The request is a FLUM
from MeDR to PPGI and a rezone from R2 to PU consisting of 0.94 acres.
There is a concurrent site plan review for the remaining site, consisting of 2.76 acres.
There are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing with a proposal to add 116 child
plots and 717 adult plots. There are additional proposed site improvements such as
landscaping, a funeral procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque
and flag pole to the northeastern most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the
City of Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2 which, according to the Land
Development Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would
require a 12 to 15 foot buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these
uses. As this site is vacant and unlikely to de velop in this location, there is also a
concurrent application for a Variance to remove the requirement for this type of buffer
that would only affect the east, west, and south boundary of the existing site and have
negative affects for the full development of the cemetery. Staff supports the variance as
293

requested, as strict adherence to the requirements of the LDRs would have a negative
impact on the over-all area for a park and cemetery.
PROCESS
Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not
involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan ,
and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use
Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process
per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes.
REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND REZONE
The criteria used to review a City initiated Comprehensive Plan amendment and
rezoning is listed in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section
2.B.3 and Section 2.D.3., a city-initiated FLUM and rezoning shall at a minimum meet
criterion (b) for “Consistency”.
a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing
conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and
zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the
need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within
the application.
There is a strong need in the community for additional plots at the cemetery . In order to
redevelop the site and allow for the expansion, the FLUM and rezoning are required as
the existing zoning does not permit a cemetery as an allowed use.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote , the
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land
Development Regulations.
The proposed FLUM and Rezone is consistent with the purpose and intent of several
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element policies, Redevelopment Plans, and
Land Development Regulations.
c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment
(FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or
would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification
unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of
the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and
rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the
community.
294
Page 4
Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
2025.10.6783
4
The established land use pattern in the immediate area is largely an established
cemetery and community park. Surrounding area includes commercial, religious
institutions, and residential development.
d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the
Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary
land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity
within the project and between adjacent properties.
The proposed FLUM and Rezoning designations will complement the existing uses of
the area as the area.
e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use
Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the
maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
There are no negative impacts expected from the development.
f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine
compatibility:
(1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby
properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties; and
(2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and
the City as a whole.
The proposal in question is consistent with surrounding development for further
cemetery expansion.
g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning
Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional
zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal wou ld further
Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would:
(1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given
the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
(2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable
economic development benefits.
295
Page 5
Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
2025.10.6783
5
As the previous FLU and Zoning designations were residential, the proposal would only
add an economic viability for the City as each plot is then sold at a market rate to City
residents only.
h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the
proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land available for
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is mad e, the approval can
be recommended under the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable fo r
commercial/industrial development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of
satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in
subparagraph “g” above; and
(3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher
employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing
land use designation and/or rezoning.
As the previous designation was residential, the proposal does not reduce the amount
of land available for commercial/industrial development.
i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the Cit y for the
proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed.
As cemeteries require larger plots of land that rarely are developed from a private entity,
there are little to no sites that could be suitable as an alternative site.
j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations.
When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2 .D.1.e
above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4.
See ‘Site Plan’ attachment. The proposal largely meets LDR requirements. There is a
concurrent request for a variance to remove the six (6) foot concrete wall from the
Urban Landscape Buffer Type 2 that would be required between the proposed zoning
district and the existing vacant lot currently zoned R2. Staff supports the variance as the
applicant is still proposing the required trees and shrubs for the buffer and the wall
would not be in harmony with the area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment, and Rezoning
against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2, Subsections A.3,
B.3.c & D.3, and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned criteria. Therefore,
296

City of Boynton Beach
Sara Sims Cemetery
Future Land Use, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan
Amendment with Variance
October 9, 2025
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. is requesting a Future Land
Use Amendment, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan Amendment to the existing Sara Sims
Cemetery. The subject site is located on southwest corner of the intersection of Mar tin
Luther King Boulevard and N. Seacrest Boulevard in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.
The overall request is to increase the number of plots available to the community through
both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are still legal encumbrances on the Phase 2 limits which
may take some time to resolveCurrently, the Applicant (the City) is requesting approval of
Phase 1 and come forward in the future with Phase 2.
Project Narrative The Sara Sims Cemetery exists today and was established in 1957 to
serve historically the African American community. The City of Boynton Beach owns the
cemetery along with the recreational park bearing the same name to its immediate west.
The cemetery serves as green open space and respite for the busy suburban area. It is a
cemetery with small ground markings and no vertical headstones. Due to limited capacity
at the existing cemetery site, the City is initiating an expansion project to better serve the
community’s long-term needs and almost doubling the number of plots. The planned
expansion includes pushing out the cemetery boundaries both north and south. To facilitate
the northern expansion, the City has acquired multiple residential parcels located along
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The vacated section of NW 9th Avenue already supports
and serves the project. The pavement will be extended so as to provide an emergency exit
out to Martin Luther King Boulevard while also providing a turnaround spot for typical
visitors.
A future phase (Phase 2) will involve abandonment of unbuilt right-of-way (College Blvd.)
and additional re-zoning and land use changes occurring on the south side to allow for
additional lots. The approval of these requests will allow the City to serve the community
well into the future. Phase 2 will be part of a future site plan application.

This Major Site Plan application also includes a landscape variance to be able to achieve
the open space cemetery and CPTED criteria. There is one lone residential vacant lot which
remains and will require an incompatible landscape buffer which is inconsistent with a park-
like cemetery and in keeping with CPTED criteria. The specifics will follow. Future Phase 2
will also require this variance as parts of the southern area, once road abandonment has
occurred, as it abuts existing residential.

Site Characteristics:
The Sara Sims Cemetery is located south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, east of North
Seacreast Boulevard and adjacent to Sara Sims Park on the west side, an active recreation
facility. The parcels under consideration for re-zoning and land use change are 1.) Vacant
(west parcel) and 2.) being used for a community fruit tree garden. The area at the
intersection of the roadways in the northeast are given over to community identification. This
area will generally remain. The current Land Use of the subject site is MR-5 Medium

LANDSCAPE VARIANCE
Pursuant to Section 2.D of the Boynton Beach, Florida Code of Ordinances, Part III Land
Development Regulations (the “Land Development Regulations”) Chapter 2, Article II, this
application would seek approval to allow for a reduction in the landscape buffe r in two
areas. One would be on the north side surrounding the three sides of the out parcel
designated as residential. The other would be the future abandonment area abutting
existing residential on the south side. Both would otherwise be required by Section 4 of
Part II, Chapter 4, Article II of the Land Development Regulations.
These locations require an urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2) which stipulates a minimum
buffer width of twelve (12) feet. In addition, it would require a six (6) foot masonry buffer
wall. The variance request is for a reduction in the buffer width and elimination of the
masonry wall. The proposed site plan, enclosed with this submi ttal, would provide a
minimum of 5’ of a landscape buffer strip containing a 3’ hedge with the code required
trees. This is a reduction in the width of the strip (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type
2). 1.) and the opacity from 6’ down to a vegetated 3’ after establishment by the removal
of the 6’ wall (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2). 4.).
Justification: Since the Cemetery is park-like with open green space and trees in a
manicured landscape, there is no need for the strict incompatibility buffer screening. It is
an asset, an amenity, to look over a park-like setting. The expansion of the cemetery is an
aesthetic benefit for the community as a whole and is a use that is deemed a ‘good
neighbor’. The request allows buffering without the solid screening that a wall provides
and minimizes the space to maximize the plots, the purpose of a cemeter y.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE
The landscape code variance request needs to meet criteria as set forth by the Building
Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Please find the following responses:
a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building,
structure or service system involved and which are not applicable to others.
Response: The proposed variance request is because the development is a park -like
cemetery where there are no buildings or activities which would impact residential use.
b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of
the applicant.

October 9, 2025
Page 4
N:\Boynton Sara Sims 23-1206\Applications\Future Land Use and Rezoning\Application Materials\Justification Statement 10.09.25.docx
Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of action or
inaction of the applicant. The applicant has tried to procure all land to minimize the non -
conformity and create a unified project.
c) That granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this code to other buildings, structures or service system.
Response: The proposed variance would not be setting a precedent as there is only one
other cemetery in the City and it has well-defined boundaries.
d) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the building, structure or service system.
Response: The proposed variance is the minimum variance that would meet the intent
of the code as reflected in this situation. There will be a buffer hedge and the same
number of trees.
e) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
this code and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
Response: The proposed variance, as mentioned in d), still meets the general intent of
the code and in no way is detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS AND REZONING
Rezoning Review Criteria – B. PU Public Usage District.
As this is a city-initiated rezoning, this application will only need the Criterion b. Consistency
for approval of this amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM
amendment. The other criteria has been address.
a. Demonstration of Need: Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
are supported by the implementation of the city’s vision for, or changes in the conditions
or character of development in, the area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated
market trends may also be considered in a justification statement provided as part of the
application.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Amendment, Rezoning and Major Site Plan
Amendment for Sara Sims Cemetery are necessary to support evolving community needs
while preserving historical and cultural significance.
The Future Land Use Amendment will allow for more appropriate designation aligned with
long-term community planning objectives. Rezoning is essential to ensure compatibility
with adjacent uses and future development goals. The Major Site Plan Amendment is
intended to enhance site functionality while maintaining respect for the cemetery’s
historical integrity.

b. Consistency: Whether the proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning would be
consistent with, promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan
policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery align with the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive
Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations. These
changes will promote responsible land use while maintaining compatibility with
surrounding properties and established community planning goals.
The amendment and rezoning are designed to enhance site functionality while respecting
historical and cultural significance. By integrating relevant land development regulations
and redevelopment strategies, the proposal ensures consistency with adopted po licies
regarding land use, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed future land use and
zoning, or potential uses allowed in a proposed zoning district, would be compatible with
the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an
amendment would normally create an isolated zoning district but would result in the
incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area,
Response: The proposed changes would bring surrounding land into compatibility with
the existing cemetery, increasing the greenspace. The subject lots are vacant and do not
have any structures on them. Cemeteries as open space are important American
Landscapes with their park-like qualities. This cemetery, just to the east of a recreational
park, add to the open space to a mid-density residential area bordered by a busy collector
road and two local roads. The request is consistent with developed patterns.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps would
encourage piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
Response: The proposed amendments to the FLUM and Zoning maps will not encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
would support complementary land uses; the integration of a mix of land uses consistent
with smart growth or sustainability initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility opti ons;
or interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery support smart growth and sustainability initiatives by promoting a
balanced mix of land uses that complement the surrounding area. The proposal is
designed to enhance the community’s long-term viability through responsible planning
and integration with existing development patterns, allowing for open space.
Complementary Land Uses – The amendment will ensure that land uses are compatible
with nearby properties and broader community objectives, fostering a cohesive and well-

planned urban environment. The proposal considers adjacent land uses to maintain
harmony and minimize conflicts.
Access to Alternative Modes of Transportation – The plan encourages accessibility
by supporting connectivity to existing transportation networks, including pedestrian
pathways, bicycle infrastructure, and public transit options. By facilitating multimodal
transportation, the proposal aligns with sustainability principles that reduce reliance on
single-occupancy vehicles. The cemetery is basically a park, open to the public
pedestrian during daylight hours, allowing for safety and visibility over a broad are a, and
promoting interconnectivity with various walkways and entries into the cemetery.
Interconnectivity Within the Project and Between Adjacent Properties – The
amendment ensures a seamless transition between the cemetery site and surrounding
areas, enhancing accessibility and movement through interconnected pathways, access
points, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure improvements. This approach
strengthens community cohesion and supports efficient land use.
f. Availability of Public Services/ Infrastructure: Requests for rezoning to planned zoning
districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant to Chapter 1, Article
VI Concurrency.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery have been carefully assessed to ensure adequate availability of
public services and infrastructure. In accordance with Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency,
the request complies with established review criteria regarding capacity and service levels
for essential community resources.
Key considerations include:
Utilities & Infrastructure – The proposal aligns with existing water, sewer, and
stormwater management systems, ensuring that adequate facilities are available to
support the requested amendments without overburdening municipal resources.
Response: There is little to no impact on utilities and infrastructure.
Transportation & Accessibility – The site’s connectivity to roadways and transportation
networks has been evaluated to ensure compliance with concurrency requirements,
supporting efficient traffic flow and access.
Response: The road network has not been affected by this project. There is limited traffic
impact which would only occur during a burial.
Public Safety & Emergency Services – The proposed changes maintain accessibility
for emergency services, ensuring continued service delivery for fire protection, law
enforcement, and medical response.

Response: The project improvements improve connectivity within the site and access
points. Emergency vehicles now have a clear path in and out of the site. Clear visibility is
maintained through picket fences without hedges to meet CPTED criteria.
Community Facilities & Resources – The amendment considers proximity to schools,
parks, and other public facilities, ensuring compatibility with growth patterns and service
availability.
Response: There is no impact on community resources for this project.
g. Economic Development Benefits for Rezoning/ FLUM amendments would not:
A. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the
uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district
B. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic
development benefits.
Response: The request decreases density by 3 single-family units.
Concurrency Requirements
The Applicant (City) understands that all applications contained herein are subject to the
City's Concurrency Management Ordinance and cannot be approved unless public facilities
(potable water, sanitary sewer, drainage, solid waste, park, and road facilities) would be
available to serve the project, consistent with the levels of service adopted in the city's
Comprehensive Plan. There is very minor impact to the City’s facilities with this expansion.
Conclusion:
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. Landscape Architects,
Planners, Environmental Consultants is requesting the approval of this application to expand
the Sara Sims Cemetery through a Future Land Use Amendment, Rezoning and a Major Site
Plan Amendment. This is respectfully submitted by Emily O’Mahoney, FASLA and Patricia
Lentini from 2GHO.

Proposed Ordinance No. 26-007- First Reading - Approve the Sara Sims Memorial
Cemetery rezoning request from R2 (Single- and Two- Family Residential) to PU (Public
Usage District) consisting of approximately 0.94 acres, located at 201 Northwest 9th
Court. Applicant: City of Boynton Beach.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 26-007, at first
reading.
Explanation of Request:
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and owned by
the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community, the proposal
would be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with concurrent review of a
Major Site Plan. The property seeking the future land use map amendment (FLUM) and
rezoning was previously privately owned and held different FLU and zoning designations that
would not allow a cemetery use. The FLUM and rezoning are required in order for the
expansion to continue. The request is a rezoning from R2 to PU consisting of 0.94 acres.
There is a concurrent site plan review for the remaining site, consisting of 2.76 acres. There
are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing, with a proposal to add 116 child plots and 717
adult plots. There are additional proposed site improvements such as landscaping, a funeral
procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque, and a flag pole to the
northeastern most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the City of
Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2, which, according to the Land Development
Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would require a 12 to 15 foot
buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these uses. As this site is vacant and
unlikely to develop in this location, there is also a concurrent application for a Variance to
remove the requirement for this type of buffer that would only affect the east, west, and south
boundary of the existing site and have negative effects for the full development of the
cemetery. Staff supports the variance as requested, as strict adherence to the requirements of
313
the LDRs would have a negative impact on the overall area for a park and cemetery.

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
A notice of the requests was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject
properties, and signs were posted for the City Commission meeting dates. The applicant
has certified that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance
No. 04-007 & 05-004.
BACKGROUND
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and
owned by the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community,
the proposal would be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with
concurrent review of a Major Site Plan. The property seeking the future land use map
amendment (FLUM) and rezoning were previously privately owned and held different
FLU and zoning designations that would not allow for a cemetery as a use. The FLUM
and rezoning are required in order for the expansion to continue. The request is a FLUM
from MeDR to PPGI and a rezone from R2 to PU consisting of 0.94 acres.
There is a concurrent site plan review for the remaining site, consisting of 2.76 acres.
There are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing with a proposal to add 116 child
plots and 717 adult plots. There are additional proposed site improvements such as
landscaping, a funeral procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque
and flag pole to the northeastern most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the
City of Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2 which, according to the Land
Development Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would
require a 12 to 15 foot buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these
uses. As this site is vacant and unlikely to de velop in this location, there is also a
concurrent application for a Variance to remove the requirement for this type of buffer
that would only affect the east, west, and south boundary of the existing site and have
negative affects for the full development of the cemetery. Staff supports the variance as
325

2025.10.6783

requested, as strict adherence to the requirements of the LDRs would have a negative
impact on the over-all area for a park and cemetery.
PROCESS
Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not
involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan ,
and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use
Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process
per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes.
REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND REZONE
The criteria used to review a City initiated Comprehensive Plan amendment and
rezoning is listed in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section
2.B.3 and Section 2.D.3., a city-initiated FLUM and rezoning shall at a minimum meet
criterion (b) for “Consistency”.
a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing
conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and
zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the
need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within
the application.
There is a strong need in the community for additional plots at the cemetery . In order to
redevelop the site and allow for the expansion, the FLUM and rezoning are required as
the existing zoning does not permit a cemetery as an allowed use.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote , the
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land
Development Regulations.
The proposed FLUM and Rezone is consistent with the purpose and intent of several
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element policies, Redevelopment Plans, and
Land Development Regulations.
c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment
(FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or
would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification
unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of
the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and
rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the
community.
326
Page 4
Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
2025.10.6783
4
The established land use pattern in the immediate area is largely an established
cemetery and community park. Surrounding area includes commercial, religious
institutions, and residential development.
d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the
Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary
land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity
within the project and between adjacent properties.
The proposed FLUM and Rezoning designations will complement the existing uses of
the area as the area.
e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use
Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the
maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
There are no negative impacts expected from the development.
f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine
compatibility:
(1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby
properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties; and
(2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and
the City as a whole.
The proposal in question is consistent with surrounding development for further
cemetery expansion.
g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning
Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional
zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal wou ld further
Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would:
(1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given
the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
(2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable
economic development benefits.
327
Page 5
Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
2025.10.6783
5
As the previous FLU and Zoning designations were residential, the proposal would only
add an economic viability for the City as each plot is then sold at a market rate to City
residents only.
h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the
proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land available for
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is mad e, the approval can
be recommended under the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable fo r
commercial/industrial development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of
satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in
subparagraph “g” above; and
(3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher
employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing
land use designation and/or rezoning.
As the previous designation was residential, the proposal does not reduce the amount
of land available for commercial/industrial development.
i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the Cit y for the
proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed.
As cemeteries require larger plots of land that rarely are developed from a private entity,
there are little to no sites that could be suitable as an alternative site.
j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations.
When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2 .D.1.e
above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4.
See ‘Site Plan’ attachment. The proposal largely meets LDR requirements. There is a
concurrent request for a variance to remove the six (6) foot concrete wall from the
Urban Landscape Buffer Type 2 that would be required between the proposed zoning
district and the existing vacant lot currently zoned R2. Staff supports the variance as the
applicant is still proposing the required trees and shrubs for the buffer and the wall
would not be in harmony with the area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment, and Rezoning
against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2, Subsections A.3,
B.3.c & D.3, and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned criteria. Therefore,
328

staff recommends that the request be approved.

Sara Sims Cemetery
Future Land Use, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan
Amendment with Variance
October 9, 2025
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. is requesting a Future Land
Use Amendment, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan Amendment to the existing Sara Sims
Cemetery. The subject site is located on southwest corner of the intersection of Mar tin
Luther King Boulevard and N. Seacrest Boulevard in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.
The overall request is to increase the number of plots available to the community through
both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are still legal encumbrances on the Phase 2 limits which
may take some time to resolveCurrently, the Applicant (the City) is requesting approval of
Phase 1 and come forward in the future with Phase 2.
Project Narrative The Sara Sims Cemetery exists today and was established in 1957 to
serve historically the African American community. The City of Boynton Beach owns the
cemetery along with the recreational park bearing the same name to its immediate west.
The cemetery serves as green open space and respite for the busy suburban area. It is a
cemetery with small ground markings and no vertical headstones. Due to limited capacity
at the existing cemetery site, the City is initiating an expansion project to better serve the
community’s long-term needs and almost doubling the number of plots. The planned
expansion includes pushing out the cemetery boundaries both north and south. To facilitate
the northern expansion, the City has acquired multiple residential parcels located along
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The vacated section of NW 9th Avenue already supports
and serves the project. The pavement will be extended so as to provide an emergency exit
out to Martin Luther King Boulevard while also providing a turnaround spot for typical
visitors.
A future phase (Phase 2) will involve abandonment of unbuilt right-of-way (College Blvd.)
and additional re-zoning and land use changes occurring on the south side to allow for
additional lots. The approval of these requests will allow the City to serve the community
well into the future. Phase 2 will be part of a future site plan application.

This Major Site Plan application also includes a landscape variance to be able to achieve
the open space cemetery and CPTED criteria. There is one lone residential vacant lot which
remains and will require an incompatible landscape buffer which is inconsistent with a park-
like cemetery and in keeping with CPTED criteria. The specifics will follow. Future Phase 2
will also require this variance as parts of the southern area, once road abandonment has
occurred, as it abuts existing residential.

Seacreast Boulevard and adjacent to Sara Sims Park on the west side, an active recreation
facility. The parcels under consideration for re-zoning and land use change are 1.) Vacant
(west parcel) and 2.) being used for a community fruit tree garden. The area at the
intersection of the roadways in the northeast are given over to community identification. This
area will generally remain. The current Land Use of the subject site is MR-5 Medium

LANDSCAPE VARIANCE
Pursuant to Section 2.D of the Boynton Beach, Florida Code of Ordinances, Part III Land
Development Regulations (the “Land Development Regulations”) Chapter 2, Article II, this
application would seek approval to allow for a reduction in the landscape buffe r in two
areas. One would be on the north side surrounding the three sides of the out parcel
designated as residential. The other would be the future abandonment area abutting
existing residential on the south side. Both would otherwise be required by Section 4 of
Part II, Chapter 4, Article II of the Land Development Regulations.
These locations require an urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2) which stipulates a minimum
buffer width of twelve (12) feet. In addition, it would require a six (6) foot masonry buffer
wall. The variance request is for a reduction in the buffer width and elimination of the
masonry wall. The proposed site plan, enclosed with this submi ttal, would provide a
minimum of 5’ of a landscape buffer strip containing a 3’ hedge with the code required
trees. This is a reduction in the width of the strip (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type
2). 1.) and the opacity from 6’ down to a vegetated 3’ after establishment by the removal
of the 6’ wall (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2). 4.).
Justification: Since the Cemetery is park-like with open green space and trees in a
manicured landscape, there is no need for the strict incompatibility buffer screening. It is
an asset, an amenity, to look over a park-like setting. The expansion of the cemetery is an
aesthetic benefit for the community as a whole and is a use that is deemed a ‘good
neighbor’. The request allows buffering without the solid screening that a wall provides
and minimizes the space to maximize the plots, the purpose of a cemeter y.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE
The landscape code variance request needs to meet criteria as set forth by the Building
Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Please find the following responses:
a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building,
structure or service system involved and which are not applicable to others.
Response: The proposed variance request is because the development is a park -like
cemetery where there are no buildings or activities which would impact residential use.
b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of
the applicant.

October 9, 2025
Page 4
N:\Boynton Sara Sims 23-1206\Applications\Future Land Use and Rezoning\Application Materials\Justification Statement 10.09.25.docx
Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of action or
inaction of the applicant. The applicant has tried to procure all land to minimize the non -
conformity and create a unified project.
c) That granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this code to other buildings, structures or service system.
Response: The proposed variance would not be setting a precedent as there is only one
other cemetery in the City and it has well-defined boundaries.
d) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the building, structure or service system.
Response: The proposed variance is the minimum variance that would meet the intent
of the code as reflected in this situation. There will be a buffer hedge and the same
number of trees.
e) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
this code and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
Response: The proposed variance, as mentioned in d), still meets the general intent of
the code and in no way is detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS AND REZONING
Rezoning Review Criteria – B. PU Public Usage District.
As this is a city-initiated rezoning, this application will only need the Criterion b. Consistency
for approval of this amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM
amendment. The other criteria has been address.
a. Demonstration of Need: Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
are supported by the implementation of the city’s vision for, or changes in the conditions
or character of development in, the area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated
market trends may also be considered in a justification statement provided as part of the
application.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Amendment, Rezoning and Major Site Plan
Amendment for Sara Sims Cemetery are necessary to support evolving community needs
while preserving historical and cultural significance.
The Future Land Use Amendment will allow for more appropriate designation aligned with
long-term community planning objectives. Rezoning is essential to ensure compatibility
with adjacent uses and future development goals. The Major Site Plan Amendment is
intended to enhance site functionality while maintaining respect for the cemetery’s
historical integrity.

b. Consistency: Whether the proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning would be
consistent with, promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan
policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery align with the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive
Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations. These
changes will promote responsible land use while maintaining compatibility with
surrounding properties and established community planning goals.
The amendment and rezoning are designed to enhance site functionality while respecting
historical and cultural significance. By integrating relevant land development regulations
and redevelopment strategies, the proposal ensures consistency with adopted po licies
regarding land use, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed future land use and
zoning, or potential uses allowed in a proposed zoning district, would be compatible with
the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an
amendment would normally create an isolated zoning district but would result in the
incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area,
Response: The proposed changes would bring surrounding land into compatibility with
the existing cemetery, increasing the greenspace. The subject lots are vacant and do not
have any structures on them. Cemeteries as open space are important American
Landscapes with their park-like qualities. This cemetery, just to the east of a recreational
park, add to the open space to a mid-density residential area bordered by a busy collector
road and two local roads. The request is consistent with developed patterns.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps would
encourage piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
Response: The proposed amendments to the FLUM and Zoning maps will not encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
would support complementary land uses; the integration of a mix of land uses consistent
with smart growth or sustainability initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility opti ons;
or interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery support smart growth and sustainability initiatives by promoting a
balanced mix of land uses that complement the surrounding area. The proposal is
designed to enhance the community’s long-term viability through responsible planning
and integration with existing development patterns, allowing for open space.
Complementary Land Uses – The amendment will ensure that land uses are compatible
with nearby properties and broader community objectives, fostering a cohesive and well-

planned urban environment. The proposal considers adjacent land uses to maintain
harmony and minimize conflicts.
Access to Alternative Modes of Transportation – The plan encourages accessibility
by supporting connectivity to existing transportation networks, including pedestrian
pathways, bicycle infrastructure, and public transit options. By facilitating multimodal
transportation, the proposal aligns with sustainability principles that reduce reliance on
single-occupancy vehicles. The cemetery is basically a park, open to the public
pedestrian during daylight hours, allowing for safety and visibility over a broad are a, and
promoting interconnectivity with various walkways and entries into the cemetery.
Interconnectivity Within the Project and Between Adjacent Properties – The
amendment ensures a seamless transition between the cemetery site and surrounding
areas, enhancing accessibility and movement through interconnected pathways, access
points, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure improvements. This approach
strengthens community cohesion and supports efficient land use.
f. Availability of Public Services/ Infrastructure: Requests for rezoning to planned zoning
districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant to Chapter 1, Article
VI Concurrency.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery have been carefully assessed to ensure adequate availability of
public services and infrastructure. In accordance with Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency,
the request complies with established review criteria regarding capacity and service levels
for essential community resources.
Key considerations include:
Utilities & Infrastructure – The proposal aligns with existing water, sewer, and
stormwater management systems, ensuring that adequate facilities are available to
support the requested amendments without overburdening municipal resources.
Response: There is little to no impact on utilities and infrastructure.
Transportation & Accessibility – The site’s connectivity to roadways and transportation
networks has been evaluated to ensure compliance with concurrency requirements,
supporting efficient traffic flow and access.
Response: The road network has not been affected by this project. There is limited traffic
impact which would only occur during a burial.
Public Safety & Emergency Services – The proposed changes maintain accessibility
for emergency services, ensuring continued service delivery for fire protection, law
enforcement, and medical response.

Response: The project improvements improve connectivity within the site and access
points. Emergency vehicles now have a clear path in and out of the site. Clear visibility is
maintained through picket fences without hedges to meet CPTED criteria.
Community Facilities & Resources – The amendment considers proximity to schools,
parks, and other public facilities, ensuring compatibility with growth patterns and service
availability.
Response: There is no impact on community resources for this project.
g. Economic Development Benefits for Rezoning/ FLUM amendments would not:
A. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the
uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district
B. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic
development benefits.
Response: The request decreases density by 3 single-family units.

Approve request for a Variance from Part III, Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4.B.3.c.(2)
Table 4-4 "Urban Landscape Buffer" to remove the requirement of a 6-foot concrete wall
within a required buffer, on a property located at 201 Northwest 9th Court, in a PU
(Public Utility) zoning district. Applicant: City of Boynton Beach.
Requested Action: Staff recommends that the approval be tabled until the second reading of
the companion Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery Future Land Use Map Amendment and
Rezoning Ordinance.
Explanation of Request:
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and owned by
the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community, the proposal
would be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with concurrent review of a
Major Site Plan.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the City of
Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2 which, according to the Land Development
Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would require a 12 to 15 foot
buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these uses. As this site is vacant and
unlikely to develop in this location, there is an application for a Variance to remove the
requirement for this type of buffer that would only affect the east, west, and south boundary of
the existing site and have negative effects for the full development of the cemetery. Staff
supports the variance as requested, as strict adherence to the requirements of LDRs would
have a negative impact on the over-all area for a park and cemetery.

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Notice of the request was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject property, and
signs were posted for the City Commission hearing dates. The applicant has certified compliance
with Ordinance Nos. 04-007 and 05-004.
BACKGROUND
The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery and owned by
the City of Boynton Beach. As additional plots are needed for the community, the proposal would
be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with concurrent review of a Major Site
Plan. The area in question for the FLUM and rezone were previou sly privately owned and held
different FLU and zoning designations that would not allow for a cemetery as a use. The re are
concurrent applications for a FLUM Modification and Rezone in order for the expansion to
continue. The request is a FLUM from MeDR t o PPGI and a rezone from R2 to PU consisting of
0.94 acres.
There is also a concurrent site plan review for the remaining site, consisting of 2.76 acres. There
are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing with a proposal to add 116 child plots and 71 7
adult plots. There are additional proposed site improvements such as landscaping, a funeral
procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque and flag pole to the northeastern
most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is not owned by the City of
Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned R2 which, according to the Land Development
Regulations, requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would require a 12 -15 foot buffer
with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall between these uses. As this site is vacant and unlikely
to develop in this location, the applicant is required to submit for a Variance to remove the
requirement for this type of buffer. This would only affect the east, west, and south boundary of
the specific lot in question. Staff supports the variance as requested, as strict adherence to the
requirements of LDRs would have a negative impact on the over-all area for a park and
cemetery.
ANALYSIS
Part III, Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4.B.3.c.(2) Table 4-4 requires an Urban Landscape Buffer
(type 2) between residential projects with contrasting densities or between incompatible zoning
districts, to provide a continuous solid, opaque, visual screen of at least six (6) feet in height
comprised of trees, hedges, and shrubs, in combination with a buffer wall. This would require the
area in red (see Figure 1) to contain the full buffer. The requirement of this buffer would not be
348

3
harmonious with the rest of the design of the cemetery and further the park area to the west. The
existing 4-foot iron fence along with a continuous hedge and same number of required trees are
still being proposed in lieu of the required buffer.
Figure 1: Buffer Location
The City Commission has the authority and duty to authorize variance s from the city’s Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) that will not be contrary to the public interest when, owing to
special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the city’s Land Development
Regulations (LDR) would result in unnecessary and undue hardship. Approval may be granted
as proposed or with conditions of approval including, but not limited to, the dedication of property
for streets, alleys, recreation space and sidewalks, as shall be determined necessary for the
protection of the surrounding area and the citizens’ general welfare; or be denied when not in
harmony with the intent and purpose of the Variance application. In evaluating the application,
the City Commission shall consider the effects of the proposal on the general health, safety and
welfare of the community and make written findings certifying that satisfactory provisions have
been made.
In order to authorize any variance from the city’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs), the
applicant must demonstrate that the request meets the following criteria (a -f), pursuant to Part III,
Chapter 2, Article II, Section 4.D. Variance to Land Development Regulations of the city’s Land
Development Regulations (LDRs). The applicant’s justification and response to these criteria is
attached (Exhibit B - Project Description & Justification Statement).
349
Page 4
Variance for Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
ZNCV - 2025.10.6783
4
a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure,
or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the
same zoning district.
The requested variance is necessary for the design of a park-like cemetery to be expanded into
adjacent lots. The reason for the request is due to one residential lot that has not been developed
and is not expected to be developed as a residential use.
b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
The boundary line on the south of the vacant lot in question has been adjacent to this zoning and
use for numerous years, without a buffer, the request to expand the cemetery for necessary plots
is the trigger for the buffer wall. While the action to expand may have brought on the requirement
for a buffer, the applicant has tried to procure all the site in order to create a unified development,
therefore removing the requirement for a buffer but has been unable to do so.
c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this section to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district.
The granting of this variance would not confer any special privilege that is denied to other lands,
building, or structures as there is only one other cemetery within city limits that could be affected.
d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
While the Public Usage zoning designation may not be residential, this a necessary zoning district
in order to provide certain facilities and uses to all types of zoning districts and the literal
interpretation of non-compatible uses can be argued to an extent of what is incompatible.
e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the land, building, or structure.
If approved, the applicant still proposes a hedge and same number of trees through this area as
depicted on the landscape plans attached.
f. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
this chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or be otherwise
detrimental to public welfare.
If approved, the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose and will not be
injurious to the area involved.

Future Land Use, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan
Amendment with Variance
October 9, 2025
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. is requesting a Future Land
Use Amendment, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan Amendment to the existing Sara Sims
Cemetery. The subject site is located on southwest corner of the intersection of Mar tin
Luther King Boulevard and N. Seacrest Boulevard in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.
The overall request is to increase the number of plots available to the community through
both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are still legal encumbrances on the Phase 2 limits which
may take some time to resolveCurrently, the Applicant (the City) is requesting approval of
Phase 1 and come forward in the future with Phase 2.
Project Narrative The Sara Sims Cemetery exists today and was established in 1957 to
serve historically the African American community. The City of Boynton Beach owns the
cemetery along with the recreational park bearing the same name to its immediate west.
The cemetery serves as green open space and respite for the busy suburban area. It is a
cemetery with small ground markings and no vertical headstones. Due to limited capacity
at the existing cemetery site, the City is initiating an expansion project to better serve the
community’s long-term needs and almost doubling the number of plots. The planned
expansion includes pushing out the cemetery boundaries both north and south. To facilitate
the northern expansion, the City has acquired multiple residential parcels located along
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The vacated section of NW 9th Avenue already supports
and serves the project. The pavement will be extended so as to provide an emergency exit
out to Martin Luther King Boulevard while also providing a turnaround spot for typical
visitors.
A future phase (Phase 2) will involve abandonment of unbuilt right-of-way (College Blvd.)
and additional re-zoning and land use changes occurring on the south side to allow for
additional lots. The approval of these requests will allow the City to serve the community
well into the future. Phase 2 will be part of a future site plan application.

This Major Site Plan application also includes a landscape variance to be able to achieve
the open space cemetery and CPTED criteria. There is one lone residential vacant lot which
remains and will require an incompatible landscape buffer which is inconsistent with a park-
like cemetery and in keeping with CPTED criteria. The specifics will follow. Future Phase 2
will also require this variance as parts of the southern area, once road abandonment has
occurred, as it abuts existing residential.

LANDSCAPE VARIANCE
Pursuant to Section 2.D of the Boynton Beach, Florida Code of Ordinances, Part III Land
Development Regulations (the “Land Development Regulations”) Chapter 2, Article II, this
application would seek approval to allow for a reduction in the landscape buffe r in two
areas. One would be on the north side surrounding the three sides of the out parcel
designated as residential. The other would be the future abandonment area abutting
existing residential on the south side. Both would otherwise be required by Section 4 of
Part II, Chapter 4, Article II of the Land Development Regulations.
These locations require an urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2) which stipulates a minimum
buffer width of twelve (12) feet. In addition, it would require a six (6) foot masonry buffer
wall. The variance request is for a reduction in the buffer width and elimination of the
masonry wall. The proposed site plan, enclosed with this submi ttal, would provide a
minimum of 5’ of a landscape buffer strip containing a 3’ hedge with the code required
trees. This is a reduction in the width of the strip (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type
2). 1.) and the opacity from 6’ down to a vegetated 3’ after establishment by the removal
of the 6’ wall (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2). 4.).
Justification: Since the Cemetery is park-like with open green space and trees in a
manicured landscape, there is no need for the strict incompatibility buffer screening. It is
an asset, an amenity, to look over a park-like setting. The expansion of the cemetery is an
aesthetic benefit for the community as a whole and is a use that is deemed a ‘good
neighbor’. The request allows buffering without the solid screening that a wall provides
and minimizes the space to maximize the plots, the purpose of a cemeter y.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE
The landscape code variance request needs to meet criteria as set forth by the Building
Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Please find the following responses:
a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building,
structure or service system involved and which are not applicable to others.
Response: The proposed variance request is because the development is a park -like
cemetery where there are no buildings or activities which would impact residential use.
b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of
the applicant.

October 9, 2025
Page 4
N:\Boynton Sara Sims 23-1206\Applications\Future Land Use and Rezoning\Application Materials\Justification Statement 10.09.25.docx
Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of action or
inaction of the applicant. The applicant has tried to procure all land to minimize the non -
conformity and create a unified project.
c) That granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this code to other buildings, structures or service system.
Response: The proposed variance would not be setting a precedent as there is only one
other cemetery in the City and it has well-defined boundaries.
d) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the building, structure or service system.
Response: The proposed variance is the minimum variance that would meet the intent
of the code as reflected in this situation. There will be a buffer hedge and the same
number of trees.
e) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
this code and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
Response: The proposed variance, as mentioned in d), still meets the general intent of
the code and in no way is detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.

regarding land use, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed future land use and
zoning, or potential uses allowed in a proposed zoning district, would be compatible with
the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an
amendment would normally create an isolated zoning district but would result in the
incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area,
Response: The proposed changes would bring surrounding land into compatibility with
the existing cemetery, increasing the greenspace. The subject lots are vacant and do not
have any structures on them. Cemeteries as open space are important American
Landscapes with their park-like qualities. This cemetery, just to the east of a recreational
park, add to the open space to a mid-density residential area bordered by a busy collector
road and two local roads. The request is consistent with developed patterns.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps would
encourage piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
Response: The proposed amendments to the FLUM and Zoning maps will not encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
would support complementary land uses; the integration of a mix of land uses consistent
with smart growth or sustainability initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility opti ons;
or interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery support smart growth and sustainability initiatives by promoting a
balanced mix of land uses that complement the surrounding area. The proposal is
designed to enhance the community’s long-term viability through responsible planning
and integration with existing development patterns, allowing for open space.
Complementary Land Uses – The amendment will ensure that land uses are compatible
with nearby properties and broader community objectives, fostering a cohesive and well-

planned urban environment. The proposal considers adjacent land uses to maintain
harmony and minimize conflicts.
Access to Alternative Modes of Transportation – The plan encourages accessibility
by supporting connectivity to existing transportation networks, including pedestrian
pathways, bicycle infrastructure, and public transit options. By facilitating multimodal
transportation, the proposal aligns with sustainability principles that reduce reliance on
single-occupancy vehicles. The cemetery is basically a park, open to the public
pedestrian during daylight hours, allowing for safety and visibility over a broad are a, and
promoting interconnectivity with various walkways and entries into the cemetery.
Interconnectivity Within the Project and Between Adjacent Properties – The
amendment ensures a seamless transition between the cemetery site and surrounding
areas, enhancing accessibility and movement through interconnected pathways, access
points, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure improvements. This approach
strengthens community cohesion and supports efficient land use.
f. Availability of Public Services/ Infrastructure: Requests for rezoning to planned zoning
districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant to Chapter 1, Article
VI Concurrency.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery have been carefully assessed to ensure adequate availability of
public services and infrastructure. In accordance with Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency,
the request complies with established review criteria regarding capacity and service levels
for essential community resources.
Key considerations include:
Utilities & Infrastructure – The proposal aligns with existing water, sewer, and
stormwater management systems, ensuring that adequate facilities are available to
support the requested amendments without overburdening municipal resources.
Response: There is little to no impact on utilities and infrastructure.
Transportation & Accessibility – The site’s connectivity to roadways and transportation
networks has been evaluated to ensure compliance with concurrency requirements,
supporting efficient traffic flow and access.
Response: The road network has not been affected by this project. There is limited traffic
impact which would only occur during a burial.
Public Safety & Emergency Services – The proposed changes maintain accessibility
for emergency services, ensuring continued service delivery for fire protection, law
enforcement, and medical response.

N:\Boynton Sara Sims 23-1206\Applications\Future Land Use and Rezoning\Application Materials\Justification Statement 10.09.25.docx
Response: The project improvements improve connectivity within the site and access
points. Emergency vehicles now have a clear path in and out of the site. Clear visibility is
maintained through picket fences without hedges to meet CPTED criteria.
Community Facilities & Resources – The amendment considers proximity to schools,
parks, and other public facilities, ensuring compatibility with growth patterns and service
availability.
Response: There is no impact on community resources for this project.
g. Economic Development Benefits for Rezoning/ FLUM amendments would not:
A. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the
uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district
B. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic
development benefits.
Response: The request decreases density by 3 single-family units.
Concurrency Requirements
The Applicant (City) understands that all applications contained herein are subject to the
City's Concurrency Management Ordinance and cannot be approved unless public facilities
(potable water, sanitary sewer, drainage, solid waste, park, and road facilities) would be
available to serve the project, consistent with the levels of service adopted in the city's
Comprehensive Plan. There is very minor impact to the City’s facilities with this expansion.
Conclusion:
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. Landscape Architects,
Planners, Environmental Consultants is requesting the approval of this application to expand

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Notice of the request was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject
property, and signs were posted for the City Commission hearing dates. The applicant
has certified compliance with Ordinance Nos. 04-007 and 05-004.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Proposal: The proposal is an expansion of the Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
to allow for the addition of 116 child plots and 717 adult plots, along
with additional site improvements such as landscaping, a funeral
procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque and
flag pole.
Background: The subject area is associated with the existing Sara Sims
Memorial Cemetery and owned by the City of Boynton Beach. As
additional plots are needed for the community, the proposal would
be to develop the remainder of the site in conformance with
concurrent review of a Major Site Plan.
The site plan review is for an area consisting of 2.76 acres. There
are 150 child plots and 672 adult plots existing with a proposal to
add 116 child plots and 717 adult plots. There are ad ditional
proposed site improvements such as landscaping, a funeral
procession area, relocation of the memorial monument plaque and
flag pole to the northeastern most portion of the site.
There is one vacant lot that is not associated with this project that is
not owned by the City of Boynton Beach. This existing lot is zoned
R2 which, according to the Land Development Regulations,
requires a Type 2 Urban Landscape Buffer, which would require a
12 to 15 foot buffer with landscaping, trees, and a 6 foot wall
between these uses. As this site is vacant and unlikely to develop
in this location, there is also a concurrent application for a Variance
to remove the requirement for this type of buffe r that would only
369

2025.10.6783

affect the east, west, and south boundary of the existing site and
have negative affects for the full development of the cemetery. Staff
supports the variance as requested, as strict adherence to the
requirements of LDRs would have a negative impact on the over-all
area for a park and cemetery.
ANALYSIS
Traffic and
Access: A traffic study was not required as the proposed expansion to the
cemetery is not expected to have any negative impacts on the
surround area.
Utilities: While there are utilities within the area, the proposal is expected to
have little to no impact on utilities and infrastructure.
Fire: The Fire Department reviewed the site plan and has no objection.
Police: The Police Department reviewed the site plan for CPTED compliance
and has no objection
Engineering: The Engineering Division reviewed the civil plans, grading, drainage
design, and utility layout, and determined that the proposal complies
with City engineering standards. Driveway geometry, internal
circulation, and service access function appropriately. Remaining
technical items will be addressed during permitting.
Drainage: The proposed drainage system provides on-site stormwater
collection, treatment, and attenuation in compliance with City
standards and South Florida Water Management District criteria. The
system will not negatively impact adjacent properties or public rights -
of-way.
Parking and
Circulation: Parking is provided in compliance with City requirements civic uses.
Landscaping
and Buffering: There is a concurrent request for a Variance for an Urban Landscape
Barrier between PU and R-2 zoning districts. While the existing lot is
zoned R-2, it is not developed and unlikely to see development in the
future, along with the strict requirements would make this portion of
the site not in conformance with the general area.
Building Height
and Design: No new buildings are proposed. There will be some relocation of
370
Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery
2025.10.6783
Page 4
4
existing memorials on the site.
Lighting: No new lighting is proposed at this time.
Signage: Signage is not included in this site plan approval and will be reviewed
under a separate permit.
Consistency with
FLUM & Rezoning: The site plan is consistent with the required PPGI future land use
designation and PU zoning district. Approval of the site plan is
contingent upon approval of the companion FLUM and Rezoning
applications.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Major Site Plan Modification (MSPM-
2025.10.6783). Any additional conditions imposed by the City Commission will be
incorporated into Exhibit “D” – Conditions of Approval.

City of Boynton Beach
Sara Sims Cemetery
Future Land Use, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan
Amendment with Variance
October 9, 2025
On behalf of the Applicant, City of Boynton Beach, 2GHO, Inc. is requesting a Future Land
Use Amendment, Rezoning and a Major Site Plan Amendment to the existing Sara Sims
Cemetery. The subject site is located on southwest corner of the intersection of Mar tin
Luther King Boulevard and N. Seacrest Boulevard in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.
The overall request is to increase the number of plots available to the community through
both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are still legal encumbrances on the Phase 2 limits which
may take some time to resolveCurrently, the Applicant (the City) is requesting approval of
Phase 1 and come forward in the future with Phase 2.
Project Narrative The Sara Sims Cemetery exists today and was established in 1957 to
serve historically the African American community. The City of Boynton Beach owns the
cemetery along with the recreational park bearing the same name to its immediate west.
The cemetery serves as green open space and respite for the busy suburban area. It is a
cemetery with small ground markings and no vertical headstones. Due to limited capacity
at the existing cemetery site, the City is initiating an expansion project to better serve the
community’s long-term needs and almost doubling the number of plots. The planned
expansion includes pushing out the cemetery boundaries both north and south. To facilitate
the northern expansion, the City has acquired multiple residential parcels located along
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The vacated section of NW 9th Avenue already supports
and serves the project. The pavement will be extended so as to provide an emergency exit
out to Martin Luther King Boulevard while also providing a turnaround spot for typical
visitors.
A future phase (Phase 2) will involve abandonment of unbuilt right-of-way (College Blvd.)
and additional re-zoning and land use changes occurring on the south side to allow for
additional lots. The approval of these requests will allow the City to serve the community
well into the future. Phase 2 will be part of a future site plan application.

This Major Site Plan application also includes a landscape variance to be able to achieve
the open space cemetery and CPTED criteria. There is one lone residential vacant lot which
remains and will require an incompatible landscape buffer which is inconsistent with a park-
like cemetery and in keeping with CPTED criteria. The specifics will follow. Future Phase 2
will also require this variance as parts of the southern area, once road abandonment has
occurred, as it abuts existing residential.

Site Characteristics:
The Sara Sims Cemetery is located south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, east of North
Seacreast Boulevard and adjacent to Sara Sims Park on the west side, an active recreation
facility. The parcels under consideration for re-zoning and land use change are 1.) Vacant
(west parcel) and 2.) being used for a community fruit tree garden. The area at the
intersection of the roadways in the northeast are given over to community identification. This
area will generally remain. The current Land Use of the subject site is MR-5 Medium
Residential – 5 du/ac and a current Zoning District is RM – Residential Medium Zoning District.

areas. One would be on the north side surrounding the three sides of the out parcel
designated as residential. The other would be the future abandonment area abutting
existing residential on the south side. Both would otherwise be required by Section 4 of
Part II, Chapter 4, Article II of the Land Development Regulations.
These locations require an urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2) which stipulates a minimum
buffer width of twelve (12) feet. In addition, it would require a six (6) foot masonry buffer
wall. The variance request is for a reduction in the buffer width and elimination of the
masonry wall. The proposed site plan, enclosed with this submi ttal, would provide a
minimum of 5’ of a landscape buffer strip containing a 3’ hedge with the code required
trees. This is a reduction in the width of the strip (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type
2). 1.) and the opacity from 6’ down to a vegetated 3’ after establishment by the removal
of the 6’ wall (Table 4-4. Urban Landscape Buffer (Type 2). 4.).
Justification: Since the Cemetery is park-like with open green space and trees in a
manicured landscape, there is no need for the strict incompatibility buffer screening. It is
an asset, an amenity, to look over a park-like setting. The expansion of the cemetery is an
aesthetic benefit for the community as a whole and is a use that is deemed a ‘good
neighbor’. The request allows buffering without the solid screening that a wall provides
and minimizes the space to maximize the plots, the purpose of a cemeter y.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE
The landscape code variance request needs to meet criteria as set forth by the Building
Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Please find the following responses:
a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building,
structure or service system involved and which are not applicable to others.
Response: The proposed variance request is because the development is a park -like
cemetery where there are no buildings or activities which would impact residential use.
b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action or inaction of
the applicant.

Response: The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of action or
inaction of the applicant. The applicant has tried to procure all land to minimize the non -
conformity and create a unified project.
c) That granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this code to other buildings, structures or service system.
Response: The proposed variance would not be setting a precedent as there is only one
other cemetery in the City and it has well-defined boundaries.
d) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the building, structure or service system.
Response: The proposed variance is the minimum variance that would meet the intent
of the code as reflected in this situation. There will be a buffer hedge and the same
number of trees.
e) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
this code and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
Response: The proposed variance, as mentioned in d), still meets the general intent of
the code and in no way is detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS AND REZONING
Rezoning Review Criteria – B. PU Public Usage District.
As this is a city-initiated rezoning, this application will only need the Criterion b. Consistency
for approval of this amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM
amendment. The other criteria has been address.
a. Demonstration of Need: Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
are supported by the implementation of the city’s vision for, or changes in the conditions
or character of development in, the area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated
market trends may also be considered in a justification statement provided as part of the
application.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Amendment, Rezoning and Major Site Plan
Amendment for Sara Sims Cemetery are necessary to support evolving community needs
while preserving historical and cultural significance.
The Future Land Use Amendment will allow for more appropriate designation aligned with
long-term community planning objectives. Rezoning is essential to ensure compatibility
with adjacent uses and future development goals. The Major Site Plan Amendment is
intended to enhance site functionality while maintaining respect for the cemetery’s
historical integrity.

b. Consistency: Whether the proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning would be
consistent with, promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan
policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery align with the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive
Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations. These
changes will promote responsible land use while maintaining compatibility with
surrounding properties and established community planning goals.
The amendment and rezoning are designed to enhance site functionality while respecting
historical and cultural significance. By integrating relevant land development regulations
and redevelopment strategies, the proposal ensures consistency with adopted po licies
regarding land use, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed future land use and
zoning, or potential uses allowed in a proposed zoning district, would be compatible with
the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an
amendment would normally create an isolated zoning district but would result in the
incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area,
Response: The proposed changes would bring surrounding land into compatibility with
the existing cemetery, increasing the greenspace. The subject lots are vacant and do not
have any structures on them. Cemeteries as open space are important American
Landscapes with their park-like qualities. This cemetery, just to the east of a recreational
park, add to the open space to a mid-density residential area bordered by a busy collector
road and two local roads. The request is consistent with developed patterns.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps would
encourage piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
Response: The proposed amendments to the FLUM and Zoning maps will not encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and zoning maps
would support complementary land uses; the integration of a mix of land uses consistent
with smart growth or sustainability initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility opti ons;
or interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery support smart growth and sustainability initiatives by promoting a
balanced mix of land uses that complement the surrounding area. The proposal is
designed to enhance the community’s long-term viability through responsible planning
and integration with existing development patterns, allowing for open space.
Complementary Land Uses – The amendment will ensure that land uses are compatible
with nearby properties and broader community objectives, fostering a cohesive and well-

planned urban environment. The proposal considers adjacent land uses to maintain
harmony and minimize conflicts.
Access to Alternative Modes of Transportation – The plan encourages accessibility
by supporting connectivity to existing transportation networks, including pedestrian
pathways, bicycle infrastructure, and public transit options. By facilitating multimodal
transportation, the proposal aligns with sustainability principles that reduce reliance on
single-occupancy vehicles. The cemetery is basically a park, open to the public
pedestrian during daylight hours, allowing for safety and visibility over a broad are a, and
promoting interconnectivity with various walkways and entries into the cemetery.
Interconnectivity Within the Project and Between Adjacent Properties – The
amendment ensures a seamless transition between the cemetery site and surrounding
areas, enhancing accessibility and movement through interconnected pathways, access
points, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure improvements. This approach
strengthens community cohesion and supports efficient land use.
f. Availability of Public Services/ Infrastructure: Requests for rezoning to planned zoning
districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant to Chapter 1, Article
VI Concurrency.
Response: The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and rezoning for
Sara Sims Cemetery have been carefully assessed to ensure adequate availability of
public services and infrastructure. In accordance with Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency,
the request complies with established review criteria regarding capacity and service levels
for essential community resources.
Key considerations include:
Utilities & Infrastructure – The proposal aligns with existing water, sewer, and
stormwater management systems, ensuring that adequate facilities are available to
support the requested amendments without overburdening municipal resources.
Response: There is little to no impact on utilities and infrastructure.
Transportation & Accessibility – The site’s connectivity to roadways and transportation
networks has been evaluated to ensure compliance with concurrency requirements,
supporting efficient traffic flow and access.
Response: The road network has not been affected by this project. There is limited traffic
impact which would only occur during a burial.
Public Safety & Emergency Services – The proposed changes maintain accessibility
for emergency services, ensuring continued service delivery for fire protection, law
enforcement, and medical response.

Response: The project improvements improve connectivity within the site and access
points. Emergency vehicles now have a clear path in and out of the site. Clear visibility is
maintained through picket fences without hedges to meet CPTED criteria.
Community Facilities & Resources – The amendment considers proximity to schools,
parks, and other public facilities, ensuring compatibility with growth patterns and service
availability.
Response: There is no impact on community resources for this project.
g. Economic Development Benefits for Rezoning/ FLUM amendments would not:
A. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the
uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district
B. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic
development benefits.
Response: The request decreases density by 3 single-family units.

Proposed Ordinance No. 26-001- First Reading, An Ordinance of the City Commission of
the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, Voluntarily Annexing Approximately 0.91 Acres of
Unincorporated Territory Into the Corporate Limits of the City Pursuant to Section
171.044, Florida Statutes; Providing for the Annexation of the Property Described
Herein; Providing Publication of Notice of the Proposed Annexation; Directing the City
Clerk to Record this Ordinance with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, with the Chief
Administrative Officer of Palm Beach County, and with the Department of State;
Providing a Business Impact Estimate; Providing for Codification; Conflicts;
Severability; and an Effective Date.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 26-001, at first
reading.
Explanation of Request:
The subject area is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is contiguous to the
City of Boynton Beach on the north and west boundaries. The site currently has a Palm Beach
County Future Land Use (FLU) designation of CH/5 and is zoned Palm Beach County CG.
The parcel is currently developed with several cottage-type structures. The applicant has
submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property into the City of Boynton Beach and
change the future land use and zoning to SHDR (Special High Density Residential) and IPUD
(Infill Planned Unit Development), respectively. The site is located within the UCDO (Urban
Commercial District Overlay). If approved, it would permit this location to redevelop as a multi-
family type product with two (2) duplexes and one (1) 6-plex, outdoor kitchen, pool, cabana,
and other site improvements.
An application for voluntary annexation must be accompanied by a Future Land Use Map
Amendment and Rezoning. As such, the application is requesting a FLU designation of SHDR
and a zoning classification of IPUD. The application is accompanied by a Master Plan for the
IPUD zoning district as required per Part III, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.1e. A master
plan shall be required when a privately-initiated application is made to rezone lands to a
planned zoning district.
403
The master plan depicts the required information, depicting compliance with the zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III, and site development standards described in Chapter 4 of
the Land Development Regulations. The master plan also included diagrams that illustrate the
location of uses and density on the site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and
density of the proposed development.
Review of the proposed annexation by staff finds the application meets the statutory
conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary and “reasonably compact” in that it
does not create enclaves or pockets.
Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional
directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance 2007-
018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 19, 2025, staff sent a preliminary
notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County Administrator and Planning
Director, and on January 22, 2026, a notification of the Public Hearing was sent via certified
mail. Comments will be provided to the City Commission once received.
How will this affect city programs or services? If approved, the City would be responsible
for all services including but not limited to Police, Fire, and Solid Waste. All applicable
departments have reviewed this application and currently have the necessary resources to
service this area.

Existing Zoning: Palm Beach County CG (General Commercial District)
Proposed Zoning: IPUD (Infill Planned Unit Development)
Overlay(s): Urban Commercial District Overlay
Proposed Use: Multi-Family Residential
Acreage: 0.91 acres
Adjacent Uses:

BACKGROUND
The subject area is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is contiguous to
the City of Boynton Beach on the north and west boundaries. The site currently has a
Palm Beach County Future Land Use (FLU) designation of CH/5 and is zoned Palm
Beach County CG. The parcel is currently developed with several cottage type
structures. The applicant has submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property
into the City of Boynton Beach and change the future land use and zoning to SHDR and
IPUD, respectively. The site is located within the UCDO (Urban Commercial District
Overlay). If approved, it would permit this location to redevelop as a multi-family type
product with two (2) duplexes and one (1) 6-plex, outdoor kitchen, pool, cabana, and
other site improvements.
An application for a voluntary annexation is required to be accompanied by a Future
Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning. As such, the application is requesting a FLU
designation of SHDR (Special High Density Residential) and a zoning classification of
IPUD (Infill Planned Unit Development). The application is accompanied by a Master
Plan for the IPUD zoning district as required per Part III, Chapter 2, Article II, Section
416
Page 3
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
3
2.D.1e. ‘A master plan shall be required when a privately-initiated application is made to
rezone lands to a planned zoning district.
The master plan depicts the required information depicting compliance of the zoning
district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in
Chapter 4 of the Land Development Regulations. The master plan also included
diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the site, including bubble
diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Review of the proposed annexation by staff finds the application meets the statutory
conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary and “reasonably compact” in
that it does not create enclaves or pockets.
Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional
directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance
2007-018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 19, 2025 staff sent a
preliminary notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County
Administrator and Planning Director and on January 22, 2026 notification of the Public
Hearing was sent via certified mail. Comments will be provided to the City Commission
once received.
PROCESS
Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not
involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan ,
and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use
Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process
per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes.
REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND REZONE
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed
in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.B and Section
2.D.3. These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed
change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) or a rezoning.
a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing
conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and
zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the
need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within
the application.
This request is accompanied by a request for annexation. The parcel currently has a
Palm Beach County zoning and future land use designation, wh ich would not be
appropriate once the property is annexed into the City. Furthermore, the location has
417
Page 4
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
4
requested the same FLU and zoning as the parcel directly adjacent to the north.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote, the
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land
Development Regulations.
The proposed FLUM amendment is consistent with the intent of several Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Element policies, including:
Policy 1.9.1 New development and redevelopment shall be consistent with the
policies of the Future Land Use Element and conform to the Future
Land Use Map or, if applicable, comply with the future land use
recommendations of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and
any future redevelopment plans.
Policy 1.11.1 The City shall continue efforts to encourage a varie ty of housing
choices by allowing a full range of residential densities to
accommodate a diversity of housing choices including, single
family, multi-family, manufactured and mobile dwellings and group
homes.
Policy 1.15.1 The City shall continue to promote the orderly annexation of lands
consistent with Chapter 171, Florida Statutes.
Policy 1.15.3 The City shall require that property owners requesting annexation
into the City concurrently apply for land use amendment and
rezoning to the City’s land use classification and zoning district.
Reclassification and rezoning of properties annexed through city -
initiated actions can be postponed for up to 6 months unless
improvements are requested.
c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment
(FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or
would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification
unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of
the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and
rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the
community.
The established land use pattern in the immediate area is largely single-family
residential to the east, multi-family to the west, some commercial zoning and IPUD
zoning adjacent to the lot. However, these lots are not developed. The proposed FLUM
would not be contrary and will not be an isolated land use classification.
418
Page 5
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729

d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the
Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary
land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity
within the project and between adjacent properties.
The proposed FLUM and zoning designations will complement the existing uses of the
area. The site serves as a buffer from the higher density multi -family uses across
Federal Highway to the west, to the single family uses to the east.
e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use
Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the
maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Water and Sewer. Long-term capacity availability for potable water and sewer for the
subject request has been confirmed by the Utilities Department. Potable water is
available adjacent to the site.
Solid Waste. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient
disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through approximately t he year
2046.
Drainage. Engineering has reviewed the subject project and do not anticipate any
negative impacts. Further detailed review will be completed at time of the future Land
Development Permit.
Traffic. Seet attached Traffic Letter, no adverse impacts are expected.
School. See attached SCAD approval letter. The school district does not anticipate
negative impacts.
f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine
compatibility:
(1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby
properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties; and
(2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and
the City as a whole.
The proposal in question is consistent with surrounding development for residential
development. The scale of the project, a total of ten (10) units, is reasonable for this
area.
419

2025.09.5729

g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning
Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional
zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal would further
Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would:
(1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given
the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
(2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable
economic development benefits.
The site is currently located within the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County. The
annexation requires a FLUM and rezoning. By annexing into the City of Boynton Beach,
future tax revenues generated from development on the site will benefit the City.
h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the
proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land availabl e for
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can
be recommended under the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for
commercial/industrial development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of
satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in
subparagraph “g” above; and
(3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher
employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing
land use designation and/or rezoning.
While the request is to change from Commercial to Residential, the area is currently not
located within the municipal boundaries of Boynton Beach, therefore, any change would
not have a negative impact on the City of Boynton Beach, as the city has yet to benefit
as the site is not located within city limits.
i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the
proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed.
While there may be comparable sites located within the municipal boundaries, if
approved, this would allow for additional land to be brought into City Limits increasing
the availability of land to be developed.
j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations.
When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2.D.1.e
420
Page 7
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
7
above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4.
See ‘Master Plan’ attachment. The Master Plan has been reviewed and meets the
requirements established in the Land Development Regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the proposed Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment, and
Rezone against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2,
Subsections A.3, B.3.c & D.3, and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned
criteria. Therefore staff recommends that the request be approved.

Florida Statutes Governing Voluntary Annexations:
Pursuant to the Florida Statutes 171.044, "the owner or owners of real properties in an unincorporated area of the
County, which is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact, may petition the governing body of said
municipality that said property be annexed to the municipality".
The voluntary annexation was submitted, on behalf of the property owner of record, Geraldine A. Hammond Living
Trust, for the properties located at 3045 & 3045-1 N. Federal Hwy., Delray Beach FL, 33483 (PCN:12-43-46-16-B3-
000-0220). The parcels are contiguous to the City of Boynton Beach along the north and west sides of the properties.
The subject properties are compact as the two parcels abut one another. Pursuant to F.S. 171.044 (5) "land shall not
be annexed through voluntary annexation when such annexation results in the creation of enclaves".
F.S. 171.031, Definitions – (13) “Enclave” means:
(a) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single
municipality; or
(b) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and
a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through
the municipality.
Florida Statutes allows for the voluntary annexation that reduces an enclave area.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONING
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Article II, Section 2.B. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment c.
Review Criteria.
All privately initiated FLUM amendments shall be reviewed concurrently with the accompanying zoning request.
Except for city-initiated FLUM amendments, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (2) for “Consistency,” approval
of a FLUM amendment/zoning request shall be based on the applicable factors listed under section 2.D.3 below.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments (pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 10 acres
or fewer, in which case they qualify as "small-scale" amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to
adoption.
REZONING, INCLUDING MASTER PLAN
Article II, Section 2.D. Rezoning, Including Master Plan.
3. Review Criteria. Except for city-initiated rezonings, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (b) for “Consistency”
approval of an amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM amendment shall be
reviewed based on the following applicable factors:
a. Demonstration of Need. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps are supported by
the implementation of the City' s vision for, or changes in the conditions or character of development in, the
area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated market trends may also be considered in a justification
Statement provided as part of the application.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to
City IPUD are required in conjunction with the Voluntary Annexation application that is being processed
concurrently. The proposed Future Land Use Map and zoning designations are consistent with the Future
431
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
4
Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and west
along the Federal Highway corridor.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would be consistent with, a nd
promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, any
other current City-approved planning documents.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation are consistent with the
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and
west along the Federal Highway corridor. While the subject properties will not be incorporated into the CRA
District, the future development of the subject properties to accommodate the 10 -unit townhouse
development will result in a significant upgrade to blighted property. The FLUMA and Rezoning are
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as The Community
Redevelopment Plan, particularly the Federal Highway District.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed Future Land Use and Zoning, or potential
uses allowed in a proposed Zoning district, would be compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of
density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an amendment would normally create an isolated zoning
district but would result in the incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will result in
development that is compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale and nature of the use.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less
than permitted. The existing Land Developments Regulations contain provisions that ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. It is noted, the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods, in terms of overall design and massing. The redevelopment will be an
enhancement to the local area and the city in general.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps will encourage a single phase unified
urban infill development as envisioned for the Federal Highway corridor.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would support
complementary land uses: the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with smart growth or sustainability
initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility options; or, interconnectivity within the project and between
adjacent properties.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps support residential redevelopment in a
manner that is complementary to adjacent land uses. The Amendments will also result in the development

that implements smart growth and sustainability initiatives including pedestrian connectivity and mobility as
requirement Urban Commercial District Overlay and associated plans.
f. Availability of Public Services/Infrastructure. All requests for FLUM amendments shall be reviewed for long-
term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Requests for rezoning to planned zoning districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant
to Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency.
The proposed redevelopment consists of the demolition of the existing 14 multi-family units and construction
of 10 multifamily (townhouse) units.
Per Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency, D. Exemptions. The following type of development orders or permits
are exempt from the concurrency requirements for public facilities:
2. Replacement or modification of existing residential buildings or non-residential buildings, unless there is an
increase in the number of units or increase in floor area or intensity of use; only the net increase will be
subject to concurrency review.
However, the development of the subject property at the highest density allowed (20 units per acre) would
allow a maximum of 18 units, which is 4 units greater than the 14 existing units. Based on the LOS
standards set forth in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, a positive concurrency determination can
be made that there is adequate capacity and availability for the following public facilities/services:
a. Roadways, county and state – The property fronts and is accessible from Federal Highway only. A
traffic statement has been provided for the subject property in compliance with the requirements of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has reviewed the traffic statement and determined the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County. Improvements within the Federal Highway right-of-way will be permitted through
FDOT.
b. Roadways, local – N/A
c. Potable water – Water Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the Federal
Highway right-of-way.
d. Sanitary sewer – Sewer Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the
Federal Highway right-of-way.
e. Solid waste - Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of city residents through the depletion year in 2054.
f. Stormwater drainage - Drainage will be retained on site exfiltration system and retention area. There
are no concerns complying with SFWMD requirements.
g. Parks – The project will have no impacts on the City’s LOS as they relate to parks. The proposal will
also provide on-site recreation amenities.
h. Public school facilities that are under the supervision of the School District of Palm Beach County – a
School Concurrency Adequacy Determination
g. Economic Development Impact.
(1) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would not:
433
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
6
a. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the uses permitted in
the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
b. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic development
benefits.
(2) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would:
a. Create new employment opportunities:
b. Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the city's tax base:
c. Respond to the current or anticipated market demand or community needs: or
d. Alleviate economic obsolescence of the subject area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will not represent a
potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given 20 units per acre is allowed on the 0.91
acre property (18 units total). Given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as
well as the fact that the property abuts low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation does not represent a potential decrease in the number of uses
with high probable economic development benefits.
There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to and
within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions, obsolete residential development and encourage
significant economic investment in the area.
h. Heavy Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed
amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would reduce the amount of land available for heavy
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under
the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial
development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides evidence of satisfying at least two (2) of the Direct
Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above.
As stated in “g” above, given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as well as
the fact that the properties abut low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation are more appropriate for the properties and encourage additional
residential investment and development to help support local businesses along the Federal Highway
corridor. There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to
and within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions and encourage significant economic investment in
the area.
Pursuant to LDR Article III, Section 2 G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District..1.b. Prerequisite
Location Standards, Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by
environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the
Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the
standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as
"Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
434
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
7
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained
within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local
streets, and rights-of-way.
The proposed IPUD complies with the standards above. While not required, the proposed residential
development principally fronts an Arterial (Federal Highway) and does not include any non-residential uses.
6. Master Plan
c. Review Criteria. The approval of a master plan shall be reviewed based on the following factors:
1. Zoning and Standards Compliance. The master plan shall comply with the requirements of the respective
zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in Chapter 4.
2. Diagrams. the master plan shall include diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the
site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Article II, Section 2.F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications.
2.Major Site Plan.
b. Review Criteria. The site plan shall comply with the following:
1) requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and
2) Site Development Standards described in Chapter 4, Article XII. See Section 2.D.6.c. above for additional
regulations regarding the requirement that the site plan be consistent with the master plan when rezoning lands to a
planned zoning district.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less than
permitted in the Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. As stated previously, the proposed
redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be
compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods , in terms of overall design and
massing. The plans illustrate the location of the uses, height, massing and density of the proposed development.
The proposed development complies with the IPUD development standards, including but not limited to site area,
building setbacks, building height and maximum lot coverage. The proposal also is in compliance with the Urban
Commercial District Overlay - Pedestrian Zone & Building Setbacks and the following applicable Site Development
Standards in LDR Chapter 4:
Article I. Environmental Protection Standards
Article II. Landscape Design and Buffering Standards
Article III. Exterior Building and Site Design Standards
Article V. Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
Article VI. Parking Lot, Vehicular Use Areas, and Loading Standards
Article VII. Exterior Lighting Standards
Article VIII. Utility and Infrastructure Design Standards
Article IX. Building, Construction, and Historic Preservation
Article X. Flood Prevention Requirements
Article XIII. Sustainable Development Standards
Based upon the above, the proposed Voluntary Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to
City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to City IPUD with the Master Plan and Site Plan are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the applicable criteria and development standards set forth in the Land Development
Regulations. Based upon the above, approval of the Voluntary Annexation, FLUM Amendment and Rezoning with
Master Plan and Site Plan is respectfully requested.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

Proposed Ordinance No. 26-008- First Reading- An Ordinance of the City Commission
of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, amending Ordinance No. 89-38 by amending the
Future Land Use Map of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, for an approximately 0.91-
acre parcel of real property generally located at 3045 North Federal Highway, by
changing the future land use classification from Palm Beach County Future Land Use
designation of Commercial High with an underlying MR-5 (CH/5) to Special High Density
Residential (SHDR); declaring the proposed amendment to the future land use map to
be consistent with all other elements of the comprehensive plan of the City; providing
for severability, conflicts, and providing for an effective date.
Requested Action: Staff recommends approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 26-008, at first
reading.
Explanation of Request:
The subject area is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is contiguous to the
City of Boynton Beach on the north and west boundaries. The site currently has a Palm Beach
County Future Land Use (FLU) designation of CH/5 and is zoned Palm Beach County CG.
The parcel is currently developed with several cottage-type structures. The applicant has
submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property into the City of Boynton Beach and
change the future land use and zoning to SHDR (Special High Density Residential) and IPUD
(Infill Planned Unit Development), respectively. The site is located within the UCDO (Urban
Commercial District Overlay). If approved, it would permit this location to redevelop as a multi-
family type product with two (2) duplexes and one (1) 6-plex, outdoor kitchen, pool, cabana,
and other site improvements.
An application for voluntary annexation must be accompanied by a Future Land Use Map
Amendment and Rezoning. As such, the application is requesting a FLU designation of SHDR
and a zoning classification of IPUD. The application is accompanied by a Master Plan for the
IPUD zoning district, as required under Part III, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.1e. A master
plan is required when a privately initiated application is made to rezone lands to a planned
zoning district.

Existing Zoning: Palm Beach County CG (General Commercial District)
Proposed Zoning: IPUD (Infill Planned Unit Development)
Overlay(s): Urban Commercial District Overlay
Proposed Use: Multi-Family Residential
Acreage: 0.91 acres
Adjacent Uses:
North: Vacant, FLUM classification of SHDR (Special High Density

BACKGROUND
The subject area is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is contiguous to
the City of Boynton Beach on the north and west boundaries. The site currently has a
Palm Beach County Future Land Use (FLU) designation of CH/5 and is zoned Palm
Beach County CG. The parcel is currently developed with several cottage type
structures. The applicant has submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property
into the City of Boynton Beach and change the future land use and zoning to SHDR and
IPUD, respectively. The site is located within the UCDO (Urban Commercial District
Overlay). If approved, it would permit this location to redevelop as a multi-family type
product with two (2) duplexes and one (1) 6-plex, outdoor kitchen, pool, cabana, and
other site improvements.
An application for a voluntary annexation is required to be accompanied by a Future
Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning. As such, the application is requesting a FLU
designation of SHDR (Special High Density Residential) and a zoning classification of
IPUD (Infill Planned Unit Development). The application is accompanied by a Master
Plan for the IPUD zoning district as required per Part III, Chapter 2, Article II, Section
453
Page 3
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
3
2.D.1e. ‘A master plan shall be required when a privately-initiated application is made to
rezone lands to a planned zoning district.
The master plan depicts the required information depicting compliance of the zoning
district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in
Chapter 4 of the Land Development Regulations. The master plan also included
diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the site, including bubble
diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Review of the proposed annexation by staff finds the application meets the statutory
conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary a nd “reasonably compact” in
that it does not create enclaves or pockets.
Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional
directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance
2007-018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 19, 2025 staff sent a
preliminary notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County
Administrator and Planning Director and on January 22, 2026 notification of the Public
Hearing was sent via certified mail. Comments will be provided to the City Commission
once received.
PROCESS
Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not
involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan ,
and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use
Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process
per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes.
REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND REZONE
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed
in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.B and Section
2.D.3. These criteria are required to be part of a staf f analysis when the proposed
change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) or a rezoning.
a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing
conditions that represent a demand for the proposed lan d use classification and
zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the
need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within
the application.
This request is accompanied by a request for annexati on. The parcel currently has a
Palm Beach County zoning and future land use designation, wh ich would not be
appropriate once the property is annexed into the City. Furthermore, the location has
454
Page 4
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
4
requested the same FLU and zoning as the parcel directly adjacent to the north.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote, the
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land
Development Regulations.
The proposed FLUM amendment is consistent with the intent of several Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Element policies, including:
Policy 1.9.1 New development and redevelopment shall be consistent with the
policies of the Future Land Use Element and conform to the Future
Land Use Map or, if applicable, comply with the future land use
recommendations of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and
any future redevelopment plans.
Policy 1.11.1 The City shall continue efforts to encourage a variety of housing
choices by allowing a full range of residential densities to
accommodate a diversity of housing choices including, single
family, multi-family, manufactured and mobile dwellings and group
homes.
Policy 1.15.1 The City shall continue to promote the orderly annexation of lands
consistent with Chapter 171, Florida Statutes.
Policy 1.15.3 The City shall require that property owners requesting annexation
into the City concurrently apply for land use amendment and
rezoning to the City’s land use classification and zoning district.
Reclassification and rezoning of properties annexed through city -
initiated actions can be postponed for up to 6 months unless
improvements are requested.
c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amen dment
(FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or
would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification
unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of
the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and
rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the
community.
The established land use pattern in the immediate area is largely single-family
residential to the east, multi-family to the west, some commercial zoning and IPUD
zoning adjacent to the lot. However, these lots are not developed. The proposed FLUM
would not be contrary and will not be an isolated land use classification.
455
Page 5
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729

d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the
Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary
land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity
within the project and between adjacent properties.
The proposed FLUM and zoning designations will complement the existing uses of the
area. The site serves as a buffer from the higher density multi -family uses across
Federal Highway to the west, to the single family uses to the east.
e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use
Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the
maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Water and Sewer. Long-term capacity availability for potable water and sewer for the
subject request has been confirmed by the Utilities Department. Potable water is
available adjacent to the site.
Solid Waste. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient
disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through approximately the year
2046.
Drainage. Engineering has reviewed the subject project and do not anticipate any
negative impacts. Further detailed review will be completed at time of the future Land
Development Permit.
Traffic. Seet attached Traffic Letter, no adverse impacts are expected.
School. See attached SCAD approval letter. The school district does not anticipate
negative impacts.
f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine
compatibility:
(1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby
properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties; and
(2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and
the City as a whole.
The proposal in question is consistent with surrounding development for residential
development. The scale of the project, a total of ten (10) units, is reasonable for this
area.
456

2025.09.5729

g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning
Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional
zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal would further
Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would:
(1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given
the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
(2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable
economic development benefits.
The site is currently located within the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County. The
annexation requires a FLUM and rezoning. By annexing into the City of Boynton Beach,
future tax revenues generated from development on the site will benefit the City.
h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the
proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land availa ble for
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can
be recommended under the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for
commercial/industrial development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of
satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in
subparagraph “g” above; and
(3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher
employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing
land use designation and/or rezoning.
While the request is to change from Commercial to Residential, the area is currently not
located within the municipal boundaries of Boynton Beach, therefore, any change would
not have a negative impact on the City of Boynton Beach, as the city has yet to benefit
as the site is not located within city limits.
i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the
proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed.
While there may be comparable sites located within the municipal boundaries, if
approved, this would allow for additional land to be brought into City Limits increasing
the availability of land to be developed.
j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations.
When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2.D.1.e
457
Page 7
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
7
above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4.
See ‘Master Plan’ attachment. The Master Plan has been reviewed and meets the
requirements established in the Land Development Regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the proposed Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment, and
Rezone against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2,
Subsections A.3, B.3.c & D.3, and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned
criteria. Therefore staff recommends that the request be approved.

Florida Statutes Governing Voluntary Annexations:
Pursuant to the Florida Statutes 171.044, "the owner or owners of real properties in an unincorporated area of the
County, which is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact, may petition the governing body of said
municipality that said property be annexed to the municipality".
The voluntary annexation was submitted, on behalf of the property owner of record, Geraldine A. Hammond Living
Trust, for the properties located at 3045 & 3045-1 N. Federal Hwy., Delray Beach FL, 33483 (PCN:12-43-46-16-B3-
000-0220). The parcels are contiguous to the City of Boynton Beach along the north and west sides of the properties.
The subject properties are compact as the two parcels abut one another. Pursuant to F.S. 171.044 (5) "land shall not
be annexed through voluntary annexation when such annexation results in the creation of enclaves".
F.S. 171.031, Definitions – (13) “Enclave” means:
(a) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single
municipality; or
(b) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and
a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through
the municipality.
Florida Statutes allows for the voluntary annexation that reduces an enclave area.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONING
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Article II, Section 2.B. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment c.
Review Criteria.
All privately initiated FLUM amendments shall be reviewed concurrently with the accompanying zoning request.
Except for city-initiated FLUM amendments, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (2) for “Consistency,” approval
of a FLUM amendment/zoning request shall be based on the applicable factors listed under section 2.D.3 below.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments (pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 10 acres
or fewer, in which case they qualify as "small-scale" amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to
adoption.
REZONING, INCLUDING MASTER PLAN
Article II, Section 2.D. Rezoning, Including Master Plan.
3. Review Criteria. Except for city-initiated rezonings, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (b) for “Consistency”
approval of an amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM amendment shall be
reviewed based on the following applicable factors:
a. Demonstration of Need. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps are supported by
the implementation of the City' s vision for, or changes in the conditions or character of development in, the
area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated market trends may also be considered in a justification
Statement provided as part of the application.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to
City IPUD are required in conjunction with the Voluntary Annexation application that is being processed
concurrently. The proposed Future Land Use Map and zoning designations are consistent with the Future
465

4
Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and west
along the Federal Highway corridor.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would be consistent with, a nd
promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, any
other current City-approved planning documents.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation are consistent with the
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and
west along the Federal Highway corridor. While the subject properties will not be incorporated into the CRA
District, the future development of the subject properties to accommodate the 10 -unit townhouse
development will result in a significant upgrade to blighted property. The FLUMA and Rezoning are
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as The Community
Redevelopment Plan, particularly the Federal Highway District.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed Future Land Use and Zoning, or potential
uses allowed in a proposed Zoning district, would be compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of
density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an amendment would normally create an isolated zoning
district but would result in the incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will result in
development that is compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale and nature of the use.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less
than permitted. The existing Land Developments Regulations contain provisions that ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. It is noted, the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods, in terms of overall design and massing. The redevelopment will be an
enhancement to the local area and the city in general.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps will encourage a single phase unified
urban infill development as envisioned for the Federal Highway corridor.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would support
complementary land uses: the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with smart growth or sustainability
initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility options; or, interconnectivity within the project and between
adjacent properties.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps support residential redevelopment in a
manner that is complementary to adjacent land uses. The Amendments will also result in the development

f. Availability of Public Services/Infrastructure. All requests for FLUM amendments shall be reviewed for long-
term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Requests for rezoning to planned zoning districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant
to Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency.
The proposed redevelopment consists of the demolition of the existing 14 multi-family units and construction
of 10 multifamily (townhouse) units.
Per Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency, D. Exemptions. The following type of development orders or permits
are exempt from the concurrency requirements for public facilities:
2. Replacement or modification of existing residential buildings or non-residential buildings, unless there is an
increase in the number of units or increase in floor area or intensity of use; only the net increase will be
subject to concurrency review.
However, the development of the subject property at the highest density allowed (20 units per acre) would
allow a maximum of 18 units, which is 4 units greater than the 14 existing units. Based on the LOS
standards set forth in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, a positive concurrency determination can
be made that there is adequate capacity and availability for the following public facilities/services:
a. Roadways, county and state – The property fronts and is accessible from Federal Highway only. A
traffic statement has been provided for the subject property in compliance with the requirements of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has reviewed the traffic statement and determined the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County. Improvements within the Federal Highway right-of-way will be permitted through
FDOT.
b. Roadways, local – N/A
c. Potable water – Water Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the Federal
Highway right-of-way.
d. Sanitary sewer – Sewer Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the
Federal Highway right-of-way.
e. Solid waste - Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of city residents through the depletion year in 2054.
f. Stormwater drainage - Drainage will be retained on site exfiltration system and retention area. There
are no concerns complying with SFWMD requirements.
g. Parks – The project will have no impacts on the City’s LOS as they relate to parks. The proposal will
also provide on-site recreation amenities.
h. Public school facilities that are under the supervision of the School District of Palm Beach County – a
School Concurrency Adequacy Determination
g. Economic Development Impact.
(1) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would not:
467
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
6
a. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the uses permitted in
the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
b. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic development
benefits.
(2) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would:
a. Create new employment opportunities:
b. Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the city's tax base:
c. Respond to the current or anticipated market demand or community needs: or
d. Alleviate economic obsolescence of the subject area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will not represent a
potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given 20 units per acre is allowed on the 0.91
acre property (18 units total). Given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as
well as the fact that the property abuts low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation does not represent a potential decrease in the number of uses
with high probable economic development benefits.
There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to and
within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions, obsolete residential development and encourage
significant economic investment in the area.
h. Heavy Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed
amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would reduce the amount of land available for heavy
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under
the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial
development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides evidence of satisfying at least two (2) of the Direct
Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above.
As stated in “g” above, given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as well as
the fact that the properties abut low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation are more appropriate for the properties and encourage additional
residential investment and development to help support local businesses along the Federal Highway
corridor. There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to
and within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions and encourage significant economic investment in
the area.
Pursuant to LDR Article III, Section 2 G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District..1.b. Prerequisite
Location Standards, Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by
environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the
Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the
standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as
"Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
468
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
7
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained
within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local
streets, and rights-of-way.
The proposed IPUD complies with the standards above. While not required, the proposed residential
development principally fronts an Arterial (Federal Highway) and does not include any non-residential uses.
6. Master Plan
c. Review Criteria. The approval of a master plan shall be reviewed based on the following factors:
1. Zoning and Standards Compliance. The master plan shall comply with the requirements of the respective
zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in Chapter 4.
2. Diagrams. the master plan shall include diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the
site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Article II, Section 2.F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications.
2.Major Site Plan.
b. Review Criteria. The site plan shall comply with the following:
1) requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and
2) Site Development Standards described in Chapter 4, Article XII. See Section 2.D.6.c. above for additional
regulations regarding the requirement that the site plan be consistent with the master plan when rezoning lands to a
planned zoning district.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less than
permitted in the Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. As stated previously, the proposed
redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be
compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods , in terms of overall design and
massing. The plans illustrate the location of the uses, height, massing and density of the proposed development.
The proposed development complies with the IPUD development standards, including but not limited to site area,
building setbacks, building height and maximum lot coverage. The proposal also is in compliance with the Urban
Commercial District Overlay - Pedestrian Zone & Building Setbacks and the following applicable Site Development
Standards in LDR Chapter 4:
Article I. Environmental Protection Standards
Article II. Landscape Design and Buffering Standards
Article III. Exterior Building and Site Design Standards
Article V. Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
Article VI. Parking Lot, Vehicular Use Areas, and Loading Standards
Article VII. Exterior Lighting Standards
Article VIII. Utility and Infrastructure Design Standards
Article IX. Building, Construction, and Historic Preservation
Article X. Flood Prevention Requirements
Article XIII. Sustainable Development Standards
Based upon the above, the proposed Voluntary Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to
City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to City IPUD with the Master Plan and Site Plan are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the applicable criteria and development standards set forth in the Land Development
Regulations. Based upon the above, approval of the Voluntary Annexation, FLUM Amendment and Rezoning with
Master Plan and Site Plan is respectfully requested.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

BACKGROUND
The subject area is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and is contiguous to
the City of Boynton Beach on the north and west boundaries. The site currently has a
Palm Beach County Future Land Use (FLU) designation of CH/5 and is zoned Palm
Beach County CG. The parcel is currently developed with several cottage type
structures. The applicant has submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property
into the City of Boynton Beach and change the future land use and zoning to SHDR and
IPUD, respectively. The site is located within the UCDO (Urban Commercial District
Overlay). If approved, it would permit this location to redevelop as a multi-family type
product with two (2) duplexes and one (1) 6-plex, outdoor kitchen, pool, cabana, and
other site improvements.
An application for a voluntary annexation is required to be accompanied by a Future
Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning. As such, the application is requesting a FLU
designation of SHDR (Special High Density Residential) and a zoning classification of
IPUD (Infill Planned Unit Development). The application is accompanied by a Master
Plan for the IPUD zoning district as required per Part III, Chapter 2, Article II, Section
488
Page 3
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
3
2.D.1e. ‘A master plan shall be required when a privately-initiated application is made to
rezone lands to a planned zoning district.
The master plan depicts the required information depicting compliance of the zoning
district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in
Chapter 4 of the Land Development Regulations. The master plan also included
diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the site, including bubble
diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Review of the proposed annexation by staff finds the application meets the statutory
conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary and “reasonably compact” in
that it does not create enclaves or pockets.
Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional
directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance
2007-018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 19, 2025 staff sent a
preliminary notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County
Administrator and Planning Director and on January 22, 2026 notification of the Public
Hearing was sent via certified mail. Comments will be provided to the City Commission
once received.
PROCESS
Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not
involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan ,
and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use
Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process
per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes.
REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND REZONE
The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed
in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.B and Section
2.D.3. These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed
change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) or a rezoning.
a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing
conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and
zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the
need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within
the application.
This request is accompanied by a request for annexation. The parcel currently has a
Palm Beach County zoning and future land use designation, wh ich would not be
appropriate once the property is annexed into the City. Furthermore, the location has
489
Page 4
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
4
requested the same FLU and zoning as the parcel directly adjacent to the north.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote, the
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land
Development Regulations.
The proposed FLUM amendment is consistent with the intent of several Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Element policies, including:
Policy 1.9.1 New development and redevelopment shall be consistent with the
policies of the Future Land Use Element and conform to the Future
Land Use Map or, if applicable, comply with the future land use
recommendations of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and
any future redevelopment plans.
Policy 1.11.1 The City shall continue efforts to encourage a varie ty of housing
choices by allowing a full range of residential densities to
accommodate a diversity of housing choices including, single
family, multi-family, manufactured and mobile dwellings and group
homes.
Policy 1.15.1 The City shall continue to promote the orderly annexation of lands
consistent with Chapter 171, Florida Statutes.
Policy 1.15.3 The City shall require that property owners requesting annexation
into the City concurrently apply for land use amendment and
rezoning to the City’s land use classification and zoning district.
Reclassification and rezoning of properties annexed through city -
initiated actions can be postponed for up to 6 months unless
improvements are requested.
c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment
(FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or
would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification
unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of
the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and
rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the
community.
The established land use pattern in the immediate area is largely single-family
residential to the east, multi-family to the west, some commercial zoning and IPUD
zoning adjacent to the lot. However, these lots are not developed. The proposed FLUM
would not be contrary and will not be an isolated land use classification.

d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM)
and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the
Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary
land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity
within the project and between adjacent properties.
The proposed FLUM and zoning designations will complement the existing uses of the
area. The site serves as a buffer from the higher density multi -family uses across
Federal Highway to the west, to the single family uses to the east.
e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use
Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the
maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Water and Sewer. Long-term capacity availability for potable water and sewer for the
subject request has been confirmed by the Utilities Department. Potable water is
available adjacent to the site.
Solid Waste. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient
disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through approximately t he year
2046.
Drainage. Engineering has reviewed the subject project and do not anticipate any
negative impacts. Further detailed review will be completed at time of the future Land
Development Permit.
Traffic. Seet attached Traffic Letter, no adverse impacts are expected.
School. See attached SCAD approval letter. The school district does not anticipate
negative impacts.
f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine
compatibility:
(1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby
properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties; and
(2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and
the City as a whole.
The proposal in question is consistent with surrounding development for residential
development. The scale of the project, a total of ten (10) units, is reasonable for this
area.

g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning
Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional
zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal would further
Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would:
(1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given
the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
(2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable
economic development benefits.
The site is currently located within the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County. The
annexation requires a FLUM and rezoning. By annexing into the City of Boynton Beach,
future tax revenues generated from development on the site will benefit the City.
h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the
proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land availabl e for
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can
be recommended under the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for
commercial/industrial development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of
satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in
subparagraph “g” above; and
(3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher
employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing
land use designation and/or rezoning.
While the request is to change from Commercial to Residential, the area is currently not
located within the municipal boundaries of Boynton Beach, therefore, any change would
not have a negative impact on the City of Boynton Beach, as the city has yet to benefit
as the site is not located within city limits.
i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the
proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed.
While there may be comparable sites located within the municipal boundaries, if
approved, this would allow for additional land to be brought into City Limits increasing
the availability of land to be developed.
j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations.
When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2.D.1.e
492
Page 7
The Hammocks at Boynton Beach
2025.09.5729
7
above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district
regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4.
See ‘Master Plan’ attachment. The Master Plan has been reviewed and meets the
requirements established in the Land Development Regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the proposed Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment, and
Rezone against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2,
Subsections A.3, B.3.c & D.3, and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned
criteria. Therefore staff recommends that the request be approved.

Florida Statutes Governing Voluntary Annexations:
Pursuant to the Florida Statutes 171.044, "the owner or owners of real properties in an unincorporated area of the
County, which is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact, may petition the governing body of said
municipality that said property be annexed to the municipality".
The voluntary annexation was submitted, on behalf of the property owner of record, Geraldine A. Hammond Living
Trust, for the properties located at 3045 & 3045-1 N. Federal Hwy., Delray Beach FL, 33483 (PCN:12-43-46-16-B3-
000-0220). The parcels are contiguous to the City of Boynton Beach along the north and west sides of the properties.
The subject properties are compact as the two parcels abut one another. Pursuant to F.S. 171.044 (5) "land shall not
be annexed through voluntary annexation when such annexation results in the creation of enclaves".
F.S. 171.031, Definitions – (13) “Enclave” means:
(a) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single
municipality; or
(b) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and
a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through
the municipality.
Florida Statutes allows for the voluntary annexation that reduces an enclave area.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONING
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Article II, Section 2.B. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment c.
Review Criteria.
All privately initiated FLUM amendments shall be reviewed concurrently with the accompanying zoning request.
Except for city-initiated FLUM amendments, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (2) for “Consistency,” approval
of a FLUM amendment/zoning request shall be based on the applicable factors listed under section 2.D.3 below.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments (pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 10 acres
or fewer, in which case they qualify as "small-scale" amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to
adoption.
REZONING, INCLUDING MASTER PLAN
Article II, Section 2.D. Rezoning, Including Master Plan.
3. Review Criteria. Except for city-initiated rezonings, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (b) for “Consistency”
approval of an amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM amendment shall be
reviewed based on the following applicable factors:
a. Demonstration of Need. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps are supported by
the implementation of the City' s vision for, or changes in the conditions or character of development in, the
area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated market trends may also be considered in a justification
Statement provided as part of the application.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to
City IPUD are required in conjunction with the Voluntary Annexation application that is being processed
concurrently. The proposed Future Land Use Map and zoning designations are consistent with the Future
500

Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and west
along the Federal Highway corridor.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would be consistent with, a nd
promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, any
other current City-approved planning documents.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation are consistent with the
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and
west along the Federal Highway corridor. While the subject properties will not be incorporated into the CRA
District, the future development of the subject properties to accommodate the 10 -unit townhouse
development will result in a significant upgrade to blighted property. The FLUMA and Rezoning are
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as The Community
Redevelopment Plan, particularly the Federal Highway District.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed Future Land Use and Zoning, or potential
uses allowed in a proposed Zoning district, would be compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of
density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an amendment would normally create an isolated zoning
district but would result in the incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will result in
development that is compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale and nature of the use.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less
than permitted. The existing Land Developments Regulations contain provisions that ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. It is noted, the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods, in terms of overall design and massing. The redevelopment will be an
enhancement to the local area and the city in general.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps will encourage a single phase unified
urban infill development as envisioned for the Federal Highway corridor.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would support
complementary land uses: the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with smart growth or sustainability
initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility options; or, interconnectivity within the project and between
adjacent properties.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps support residential redevelopment in a
manner that is complementary to adjacent land uses. The Amendments will also result in the development

that implements smart growth and sustainability initiatives including pedestrian connectivity and mobility as
requirement Urban Commercial District Overlay and associated plans.
f. Availability of Public Services/Infrastructure. All requests for FLUM amendments shall be reviewed for long-
term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Requests for rezoning to planned zoning districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant
to Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency.
The proposed redevelopment consists of the demolition of the existing 14 multi-family units and construction
of 10 multifamily (townhouse) units.
Per Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency, D. Exemptions. The following type of development orders or permits
are exempt from the concurrency requirements for public facilities:
2. Replacement or modification of existing residential buildings or non-residential buildings, unless there is an
increase in the number of units or increase in floor area or intensity of use; only the net increase will be
subject to concurrency review.
However, the development of the subject property at the highest density allowed (20 units per acre) would
allow a maximum of 18 units, which is 4 units greater than the 14 existing units. Based on the LOS
standards set forth in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, a positive concurrency determination can
be made that there is adequate capacity and availability for the following public facilities/services:
a. Roadways, county and state – The property fronts and is accessible from Federal Highway only. A
traffic statement has been provided for the subject property in compliance with the requirements of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has reviewed the traffic statement and determined the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County. Improvements within the Federal Highway right-of-way will be permitted through
FDOT.
b. Roadways, local – N/A
c. Potable water – Water Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the Federal
Highway right-of-way.
d. Sanitary sewer – Sewer Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the
Federal Highway right-of-way.
e. Solid waste - Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of city residents through the depletion year in 2054.
f. Stormwater drainage - Drainage will be retained on site exfiltration system and retention area. There
are no concerns complying with SFWMD requirements.
g. Parks – The project will have no impacts on the City’s LOS as they relate to parks. The proposal will
also provide on-site recreation amenities.
h. Public school facilities that are under the supervision of the School District of Palm Beach County – a
School Concurrency Adequacy Determination
g. Economic Development Impact.
(1) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would not:
502
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
6
a. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the uses permitted in
the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
b. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic development
benefits.
(2) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would:
a. Create new employment opportunities:
b. Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the city's tax base:
c. Respond to the current or anticipated market demand or community needs: or
d. Alleviate economic obsolescence of the subject area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will not represent a
potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given 20 units per acre is allowed on the 0.91
acre property (18 units total). Given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as
well as the fact that the property abuts low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation does not represent a potential decrease in the number of uses
with high probable economic development benefits.
There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to and
within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions, obsolete residential development and encourage
significant economic investment in the area.
h. Heavy Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed
amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would reduce the amount of land available for heavy
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under
the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial
development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides evidence of satisfying at least two (2) of the Direct
Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above.
As stated in “g” above, given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as well as
the fact that the properties abut low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation are more appropriate for the properties and encourage additional
residential investment and development to help support local businesses along the Federal Highway
corridor. There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to
and within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions and encourage significant economic investment in
the area.
Pursuant to LDR Article III, Section 2 G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District..1.b. Prerequisite
Location Standards, Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by
environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the
Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the
standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as
"Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
503
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
7
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained
within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local
streets, and rights-of-way.
The proposed IPUD complies with the standards above. While not required, the proposed residential
development principally fronts an Arterial (Federal Highway) and does not include any non-residential uses.
6. Master Plan
c. Review Criteria. The approval of a master plan shall be reviewed based on the following factors:
1. Zoning and Standards Compliance. The master plan shall comply with the requirements of the respective
zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in Chapter 4.
2. Diagrams. the master plan shall include diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the
site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Article II, Section 2.F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications.
2.Major Site Plan.
b. Review Criteria. The site plan shall comply with the following:
1) requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and
2) Site Development Standards described in Chapter 4, Article XII. See Section 2.D.6.c. above for additional
regulations regarding the requirement that the site plan be consistent with the master plan when rezoning lands to a
planned zoning district.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less than
permitted in the Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. As stated previously, the proposed
redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be
compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods , in terms of overall design and
massing. The plans illustrate the location of the uses, height, massing and density of the proposed development.
The proposed development complies with the IPUD development standards, including but not limited to site area,
building setbacks, building height and maximum lot coverage. The proposal also is in compliance with the Urban
Commercial District Overlay - Pedestrian Zone & Building Setbacks and the following applicable Site Development
Standards in LDR Chapter 4:
Article I. Environmental Protection Standards
Article II. Landscape Design and Buffering Standards
Article III. Exterior Building and Site Design Standards
Article V. Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
Article VI. Parking Lot, Vehicular Use Areas, and Loading Standards
Article VII. Exterior Lighting Standards
Article VIII. Utility and Infrastructure Design Standards
Article IX. Building, Construction, and Historic Preservation
Article X. Flood Prevention Requirements
Article XIII. Sustainable Development Standards
Based upon the above, the proposed Voluntary Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to
City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to City IPUD with the Master Plan and Site Plan are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the applicable criteria and development standards set forth in the Land Development
Regulations. Based upon the above, approval of the Voluntary Annexation, FLUM Amendment and Rezoning with
Master Plan and Site Plan is respectfully requested.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONING
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Article II, Section 2.B. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment c.
Review Criteria.
All privately initiated FLUM amendments shall be reviewed concurrently with the accompanying zoning request.
Except for city-initiated FLUM amendments, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (2) for “Consistency,” approval
of a FLUM amendment/zoning request shall be based on the applicable factors listed under section 2.D.3 below.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments (pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 10 acres
or fewer, in which case they qualify as "small-scale" amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to
adoption.
REZONING, INCLUDING MASTER PLAN
Article II, Section 2.D. Rezoning, Including Master Plan.
3. Review Criteria. Except for city-initiated rezonings, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (b) for “Consistency”
approval of an amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM amendment shall be
reviewed based on the following applicable factors:
a. Demonstration of Need. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps are supported by
the implementation of the City' s vision for, or changes in the conditions or character of development in, the
area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated market trends may also be considered in a justification
Statement provided as part of the application.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to
City IPUD are required in conjunction with the Voluntary Annexation application that is being processed
concurrently. The proposed Future Land Use Map and zoning designations are consistent with the Future
516
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
4
Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and west
along the Federal Highway corridor.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would be consistent with, a nd
promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, any
other current City-approved planning documents.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation are consistent with the
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and
west along the Federal Highway corridor. While the subject properties will not be incorporated into the CRA
District, the future development of the subject properties to accommodate the 10 -unit townhouse
development will result in a significant upgrade to blighted property. The FLUMA and Rezoning are
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as The Community
Redevelopment Plan, particularly the Federal Highway District.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed Future Land Use and Zoning, or potential
uses allowed in a proposed Zoning district, would be compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of
density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an amendment would normally create an isolated zoning
district but would result in the incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will result in
development that is compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale and nature of the use.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less
than permitted. The existing Land Developments Regulations contain provisions that ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. It is noted, the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods, in terms of overall design and massing. The redevelopment will be an
enhancement to the local area and the city in general.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps will encourage a single phase unified
urban infill development as envisioned for the Federal Highway corridor.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would support
complementary land uses: the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with smart growth or sustainability
initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility options; or, interconnectivity within the project and between
adjacent properties.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps support residential redevelopment in a
manner that is complementary to adjacent land uses. The Amendments will also result in the development

that implements smart growth and sustainability initiatives including pedestrian connectivity and mobility as
requirement Urban Commercial District Overlay and associated plans.
f. Availability of Public Services/Infrastructure. All requests for FLUM amendments shall be reviewed for long-
term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Requests for rezoning to planned zoning districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant
to Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency.
The proposed redevelopment consists of the demolition of the existing 14 multi-family units and construction
of 10 multifamily (townhouse) units.
Per Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency, D. Exemptions. The following type of development orders or permits
are exempt from the concurrency requirements for public facilities:
2. Replacement or modification of existing residential buildings or non-residential buildings, unless there is an
increase in the number of units or increase in floor area or intensity of use; only the net increase will be
subject to concurrency review.
However, the development of the subject property at the highest density allowed (20 units per acre) would
allow a maximum of 18 units, which is 4 units greater than the 14 existing units. Based on the LOS
standards set forth in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, a positive concurrency determination can
be made that there is adequate capacity and availability for the following public facilities/services:
a. Roadways, county and state – The property fronts and is accessible from Federal Highway only. A
traffic statement has been provided for the subject property in compliance with the requirements of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has reviewed the traffic statement and determined the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County. Improvements within the Federal Highway right-of-way will be permitted through
FDOT.
b. Roadways, local – N/A
c. Potable water – Water Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the Federal
Highway right-of-way.
d. Sanitary sewer – Sewer Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the
Federal Highway right-of-way.
e. Solid waste - Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of city residents through the depletion year in 2054.
f. Stormwater drainage - Drainage will be retained on site exfiltration system and retention area. There
are no concerns complying with SFWMD requirements.
g. Parks – The project will have no impacts on the City’s LOS as they relate to parks. The proposal will
also provide on-site recreation amenities.
h. Public school facilities that are under the supervision of the School District of Palm Beach County – a
School Concurrency Adequacy Determination
g. Economic Development Impact.
(1) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would not:
518
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
6
a. Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the uses permitted in
the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and
b. Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic development
benefits.
(2) Whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendments would:
a. Create new employment opportunities:
b. Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the city's tax base:
c. Respond to the current or anticipated market demand or community needs: or
d. Alleviate economic obsolescence of the subject area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will not represent a
potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given 20 units per acre is allowed on the 0.91
acre property (18 units total). Given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as
well as the fact that the property abuts low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation does not represent a potential decrease in the number of uses
with high probable economic development benefits.
There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to and
within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions, obsolete residential development and encourage
significant economic investment in the area.
h. Heavy Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed
amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would reduce the amount of land available for heavy
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under
the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial
development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides evidence of satisfying at least two (2) of the Direct
Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above.
As stated in “g” above, given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as well as
the fact that the properties abut low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation are more appropriate for the properties and encourage additional
residential investment and development to help support local businesses along the Federal Highway
corridor. There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to
and within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions and encourage significant economic investment in
the area.
Pursuant to LDR Article III, Section 2 G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District..1.b. Prerequisite
Location Standards, Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by
environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the
Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the
standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as
"Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
519
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
7
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained
within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local
streets, and rights-of-way.
The proposed IPUD complies with the standards above. While not required, the proposed residential
development principally fronts an Arterial (Federal Highway) and does not include any non-residential uses.
6. Master Plan
c. Review Criteria. The approval of a master plan shall be reviewed based on the following factors:
1. Zoning and Standards Compliance. The master plan shall comply with the requirements of the respective
zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in Chapter 4.
2. Diagrams. the master plan shall include diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the
site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Article II, Section 2.F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications.
2.Major Site Plan.
b. Review Criteria. The site plan shall comply with the following:
1) requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and
2) Site Development Standards described in Chapter 4, Article XII. See Section 2.D.6.c. above for additional
regulations regarding the requirement that the site plan be consistent with the master plan when rezoning lands to a
planned zoning district.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less than
permitted in the Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. As stated previously, the proposed
redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be
compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods , in terms of overall design and
massing. The plans illustrate the location of the uses, height, massing and density of the proposed development.
The proposed development complies with the IPUD development standards, including but not limited to site area,
building setbacks, building height and maximum lot coverage. The proposal also is in compliance with the Urban
Commercial District Overlay - Pedestrian Zone & Building Setbacks and the following applicable Site Development
Standards in LDR Chapter 4:
Article I. Environmental Protection Standards
Article II. Landscape Design and Buffering Standards
Article III. Exterior Building and Site Design Standards
Article V. Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
Article VI. Parking Lot, Vehicular Use Areas, and Loading Standards
Article VII. Exterior Lighting Standards
Article VIII. Utility and Infrastructure Design Standards
Article IX. Building, Construction, and Historic Preservation
Article X. Flood Prevention Requirements
Article XIII. Sustainable Development Standards
Based upon the above, the proposed Voluntary Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to
City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to City IPUD with the Master Plan and Site Plan are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the applicable criteria and development standards set forth in the Land Development
Regulations. Based upon the above, approval of the Voluntary Annexation, FLUM Amendment and Rezoning with
Master Plan and Site Plan is respectfully requested.

Florida Statutes Governing Voluntary Annexations:
Pursuant to the Florida Statutes 171.044, "the owner or owners of real properties in an unincorporated area of the
County, which is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact, may petition the governing body of said
municipality that said property be annexed to the municipality".
The voluntary annexation was submitted, on behalf of the property owner of record, Geraldine A. Hammond Living
Trust, for the properties located at 3045 & 3045-1 N. Federal Hwy., Delray Beach FL, 33483 (PCN:12-43-46-16-B3-
000-0220). The parcels are contiguous to the City of Boynton Beach along the north and west sides of the properties.
The subject properties are compact as the two parcels abut one another. Pursuant to F.S. 171.044 (5) "land shall not
be annexed through voluntary annexation when such annexation results in the creation of enclaves".
F.S. 171.031, Definitions – (13) “Enclave” means:
(a) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single
municipality; or
(b) Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and
a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through
the municipality.
Florida Statutes allows for the voluntary annexation that reduces an enclave area.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONING
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Article II, Section 2.B. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 3. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment c.
Review Criteria.
All privately initiated FLUM amendments shall be reviewed concurrently with the accompanying zoning request.
Except for city-initiated FLUM amendments, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (2) for “Consistency,” approval
of a FLUM amendment/zoning request shall be based on the applicable factors listed under section 2.D.3 below.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments (pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 10 acres
or fewer, in which case they qualify as "small-scale" amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to
adoption.
REZONING, INCLUDING MASTER PLAN
Article II, Section 2.D. Rezoning, Including Master Plan.
3. Review Criteria. Except for city-initiated rezonings, which shall at a minimum meet criterion (b) for “Consistency”
approval of an amendment to the official zoning map processed with or without the FLUM amendment shall be
reviewed based on the following applicable factors:
a. Demonstration of Need. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps are supported by
the implementation of the City' s vision for, or changes in the conditions or character of development in, the
area under consideration. Ongoing or anticipated market trends may also be considered in a justification
Statement provided as part of the application.
The Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to
City IPUD are required in conjunction with the Voluntary Annexation application that is being processed
concurrently. The proposed Future Land Use Map and zoning designations are consistent with the Future
547
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
4
Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and west
along the Federal Highway corridor.
b. Consistency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would be consistent with, a nd
promote, the purpose and intent of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, any
other current City-approved planning documents.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation are consistent with the
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations of abutting City of Boynton Beach properties to the north and
west along the Federal Highway corridor. While the subject properties will not be incorporated into the CRA
District, the future development of the subject properties to accommodate the 10 -unit townhouse
development will result in a significant upgrade to blighted property. The FLUMA and Rezoning are
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as The Community
Redevelopment Plan, particularly the Federal Highway District.
c. Compatibility. The application shall consider whether the proposed Future Land Use and Zoning, or potential
uses allowed in a proposed Zoning district, would be compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of
density, scale, and the nature of use, or when such an amendment would normally create an isolated zoning
district but would result in the incremental implementation of a redevelopment plan for the area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will result in
development that is compatible with the surrounding uses in terms of density, scale and nature of the use.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less
than permitted. The existing Land Developments Regulations contain provisions that ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. It is noted, the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods, in terms of overall design and massing. The redevelopment will be an
enhancement to the local area and the city in general.
d. Orderly Growth. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would encourage
piecemeal development or create undevelopable parcels.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps will encourage a single phase unified
urban infill development as envisioned for the Federal Highway corridor.
e. Location Efficiency. Whether the proposed amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would support
complementary land uses: the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with smart growth or sustainability
initiatives; access to a wide range of mobility options; or, interconnectivity within the project and between
adjacent properties.
The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps support residential redevelopment in a
manner that is complementary to adjacent land uses. The Amendments will also result in the development

requirement Urban Commercial District Overlay and associated plans.
f. Availability of Public Services/Infrastructure. All requests for FLUM amendments shall be reviewed for long-
term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification.
Requests for rezoning to planned zoning districts and FLUM amendments shall be subject to review pursuant
to Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency.
The proposed redevelopment consists of the demolition of the existing 14 multi-family units and construction
of 10 multifamily (townhouse) units.
Per Chapter 1, Article VI Concurrency, D. Exemptions. The following type of development orders or permits
are exempt from the concurrency requirements for public facilities:
2. Replacement or modification of existing residential buildings or non-residential buildings, unless there is an
increase in the number of units or increase in floor area or intensity of use; only the net increase will be
subject to concurrency review.
However, the development of the subject property at the highest density allowed (20 units per acre) would
allow a maximum of 18 units, which is 4 units greater than the 14 existing units. Based on the LOS
standards set forth in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, a positive concurrency determination can
be made that there is adequate capacity and availability for the following public facilities/services:
a. Roadways, county and state – The property fronts and is accessible from Federal Highway only. A
traffic statement has been provided for the subject property in compliance with the requirements of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has reviewed the traffic statement and determined the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards
of Palm Beach County. Improvements within the Federal Highway right-of-way will be permitted through
FDOT.
b. Roadways, local – N/A
c. Potable water – Water Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the Federal
Highway right-of-way.
d. Sanitary sewer – Sewer Service is available via connections to the existing water main within the
Federal Highway right-of-way.
e. Solid waste - Solid Waste Authority has indicated that its facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of city residents through the depletion year in 2054.
f. Stormwater drainage - Drainage will be retained on site exfiltration system and retention area. There
are no concerns complying with SFWMD requirements.
g. Parks – The project will have no impacts on the City’s LOS as they relate to parks. The proposal will
also provide on-site recreation amenities.
h. Public school facilities that are under the supervision of the School District of Palm Beach County – a
School Concurrency Adequacy Determination
g. Economic Development Impact.

b. Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the city's tax base:
c. Respond to the current or anticipated market demand or community needs: or
d. Alleviate economic obsolescence of the subject area.
The proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map designation and IPUD zoning designation will not represent a
potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given 20 units per acre is allowed on the 0.91
acre property (18 units total). Given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as
well as the fact that the property abuts low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation does not represent a potential decrease in the number of uses
with high probable economic development benefits.
There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to and
within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions, obsolete residential development and encourage
significant economic investment in the area.
h. Heavy Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed
amendments to the FLU and Zoning maps would reduce the amount of land available for heavy
commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under
the following conditions:
(1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial
development; or
(2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides evidence of satisfying at least two (2) of the Direct
Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above.
As stated in “g” above, given the location, size, depth and configuration of the blighted property as well as
the fact that the properties abut low density residential, the proposed SHDR Future Land Use Map
designation and IPUD zoning designation are more appropriate for the properties and encourage additional
residential investment and development to help support local businesses along the Federal Highway
corridor. There is market demand for quality residential development such as townhouses within proximity to
and within the urban lifestyle centers as envisioned by Boynton Beach and its redevelopment area. The
redevelopment will eliminate existing blighted conditions and encourage significant economic investment in
the area.
Pursuant to LDR Article III, Section 2 G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District..1.b. Prerequisite
Location Standards, Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by
environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the
Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the
standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as
"Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
550
981 Delray Lakes Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33444 | 561.573.1486 | jcostello@jcplanningsolutions.com
7
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained
within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local
streets, and rights-of-way.
The proposed IPUD complies with the standards above. While not required, the proposed residential
development principally fronts an Arterial (Federal Highway) and does not include any non-residential uses.
6. Master Plan
c. Review Criteria. The approval of a master plan shall be reviewed based on the following factors:
1. Zoning and Standards Compliance. The master plan shall comply with the requirements of the respective
zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and site development standards described in Chapter 4.
2. Diagrams. the master plan shall include diagrams which illustrate the location of uses and density on the
site, including bubble diagrams, height, massing, and density of the proposed development.
Article II, Section 2.F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications.
2.Major Site Plan.
b. Review Criteria. The site plan shall comply with the following:
1) requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and
2) Site Development Standards described in Chapter 4, Article XII. See Section 2.D.6.c. above for additional
regulations regarding the requirement that the site plan be consistent with the master plan when rezoning lands to a
planned zoning district.
Due to site constraints and to ensure compliance with development standards and compatibility, the proposed
residential development consisting of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse development is at density significantly less than
permitted in the Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. As stated previously, the proposed
redevelopment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed IPUD zoning district. The project will be
compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods , in terms of overall design and
massing. The plans illustrate the location of the uses, height, massing and density of the proposed development.
The proposed development complies with the IPUD development standards, including but not limited to site area,
building setbacks, building height and maximum lot coverage. The proposal also is in compliance with the Urban
Commercial District Overlay - Pedestrian Zone & Building Setbacks and the following applicable Site Development
Standards in LDR Chapter 4:
Article I. Environmental Protection Standards
Article II. Landscape Design and Buffering Standards
Article III. Exterior Building and Site Design Standards
Article V. Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
Article VI. Parking Lot, Vehicular Use Areas, and Loading Standards
Article VII. Exterior Lighting Standards
Article VIII. Utility and Infrastructure Design Standards
Article IX. Building, Construction, and Historic Preservation
Article X. Flood Prevention Requirements
Article XIII. Sustainable Development Standards
Based upon the above, the proposed Voluntary Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County CH-5 to
City SHDR and Rezoning from County CG to City IPUD with the Master Plan and Site Plan are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the applicable criteria and development standards set forth in the Land Development
Regulations. Based upon the above, approval of the Voluntary Annexation, FLUM Amendment and Rezoning with
Master Plan and Site Plan is respectfully requested.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.
