TOWN OF JUPITER DATE: October 12, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of Town Council THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Town Manager FROM: John Sickler, Director of Planning and Zoning SUBJECT: MALTZ JUPITER THEATRE – Special Exception and Site Plan applications for an expansion to the existing theater, on a 4.8± acre property, located at 1001 E. Indiantown Road. (PZ# 15-169) HEARING DATES: PZ 09/08/15 TC 10/20/15 (quasi-judicial) PZ #15-169 - Res #63-15 GW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Consideration of a special exception and site plan amendment for an expansion of the existing theater. The Maltz Theatre is proposing to add a 31,524 square foot expansion, increasing the number of seats from 617 to 640. The expansion will house additional classrooms for students, office space, studio and rehearsal spaces, and a smaller flexible theater space with a seating capacity of 199 people, which is restricted from being operated concurrently with the main theater (see Attachment A). The conditions of approval regarding the underground utilities have been modified from the typical language based on Town Council’s previous commitment to pay for half of the cost of undergrounding the utilities. Based on an FPL estimate, the total cost of undergrounding the utilities would range from $50,000 to $75,000. In addition, the Town Council previously committed to pay for installing the decorative street lights along Indiantown Road. Based on the recent cost of the decorative street lights, staff estimates that the cost of installing the lights along the Maltz property would be approximately $65,000. Lastly, staff has recommended that the applicant pay for half of the costs associated with installing the fiber optic conduit. The total cost for installing the fiber optic conduit ranges from $8 per foot to dig a trench and install conduit to $20 per foot for an underground directional bore. The final contribution amount will be based on an engineer’s estimate of the undergrounding cost which is required to be submitted prior to building permits. Staff is recommending that the undergrounding work, street light installation, and fiber optic conduit installation be completed after the redesign of the section of Indiantown Road between US Highway 1 and A1A. Issues The applicant has no issues. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their September 8, 2015 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (7 to 0 vote) to approve the above referenced project with no modifications.

(see Attachment A) Applicant Issues. The applicant has no issues. 09/08/15 10/20/15 (quasi-judicial) Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 2 Staff Update. Staff received an inquiry from a nearby homeowner regarding the condition of the lake on the corner of Indiantown Road and A1A. The homeowner requests that the Maltz Theatre turn on the aerator fountain. In addition, she requested that the lighting along Indiantown Road and A1A be enhanced for safety (see Attachment E). The aeration fountain was not a required element and there is no associated condition of approval for the fountain to be operated. Additionally, staff has not included conditions for the lighting based on the recommendation that the Town be responsible to installing the new lighting along Indiantown Road when the roadway section is redesigned.

The Maltz Theatre is proposing to add a 31,524 square foot expansion, increasing the number of seats from 617 to 640. The expansion will house additional classrooms for students, office space, studio and rehearsal spaces, and a smaller flexible theater space with a seating capacity of 199 people (see Attachment A). The smaller flexible theater space is proposed to be used for different types of programs which are not appropriate or conducive in the main theater. In addition, it will be used at different times than the main theater, ensuring that parking is available for guests. The following chart outlines the approvals and history of the theatre. Date 1979 1982 August 3, 1999 January 7, 2003 April 13, 2004 May 20, 2003 April 24, 2013 Approval information Building permits were issued to construct the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater, consisting of a combination restaurant, theater, and lounge with seating for 380 people. Approval was granted to expand the number of seats to 450, consisting of a mixture of "dinner and a show" seating and conventional theater seating. The Town Council approved a conversion of the theater into a religious institution to be known as Christ’s Church of the Palm Beaches. The approved site plan consisted of expanding the existing structure to 37,202 square feet. The church was never constructed on the site and the site plan and special exception expired on August 3, 2001. The Town Council approved renovations to the existing theater to include the addition of a new porte-cochere, main entrance, backstage entrance, and an addition on the first level in the northwest corner of the building to be used as a founders lounge. The total addition included 7,036 additional square feet and increased the seating capacity to 598 seats. Resolution #138-02. The Zoning Board of Adjustments approved a variance for the façade sign on the south elevation. The variance allowed the sign to be 154 square feet and 11 feet tall. The Town Council approved an amendment to the previously approved expansion to allow the project to be constructed in two phases. Phase one of construction was completed, including the installation of conduit along Indiantown Road, but Phase two was never constructed. Resolution #65-03. Staff approved a small expansion to the existing theater, increasing to 617 seats. The expansion increased the theater by 3,108 square feet. The affected area was limited to the existing building on the north-east corner of the subject site. Staff is proposing to replace and amend the conditions of approval in Resolution #65-03 related to undergrounding utilities, cross access, and signage restrictions. The conditions within Exhibit Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 5 1/Resolution #63-15 include the previous conditions with modifications and will replace the two previous resolutions. Analysis. This section analyzes the land development regulations and notes the application’s inability or ability to satisfy all applicable development provisions of the Town Code and Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). The analysis is as follows: Comprehensive Plan consistency. The proposed development is in conformance with the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive plan. Theatre Expansion. The existing theater is considered a special exception within the Parkways district of the Indiantown Road Overlay Zoning District (IOZ) with underlying C-2, General Commercial zoning. Pursuant to Section 24-197, projects that propose to expand by more than 20 percent are not eligible for reduced development standards and are required to meet the code and eliminate non-conformities. The proposed expansion is for an additional 31,524 square feet (totaling 63,560 square feet or a 97 percent expansion), which requires the project to meet the code and eliminate non-conformities. Landscaping. The proposed development is in conformance with the Town Code, Chapter 23, entitled, “Landscaping”. Landscape median contributions – Pursuant to Section 23-67, properties with frontage on Indiantown Road are required to provide monies to help maintain landscape medians. During the theater expansion in 2003, staff recommended landscape median contributions, which totaled $17,915.10 at the time; however, the Town Council voted to remove the condition because there was no median in front of the property (see Attachment C). Staff has not included a condition for landscape median contributions, based upon the Town Council’s previous decision. Underground Utilities. The proposed development will be in conformance with Section 27868(6), entitled “Underground Utilities” with the proposed conditions of approval. The previous approval included conditions to underground the utilities. To date, the utility lines have not been placed underground. Below is a chart which outlines Town Council’s prior commitments, and recommended conditions within Exhibit 1. Item (status) Underground utility lines (conduit installed, lines not placed underground) Town Council’s previous commitments Decorative Street Lights (not installed) Fiber optic conduit Proposed conditions in Exhibit 1 Agreed to pay 100% of conduit installation cost (paid full amount in 2004) Agreed to pay 50% of undergrounding cost Agreed to pay 100% of installation after lines placed underground Did not exist at the time Applicant pay for 50% of the cost of undergrounding the utility lines in the existing conduit Town will pay for 50% of costs Town will pay for all costs of installing decorative street lights along Indiantown Road (no condition) Applicant pay for 50% of the cost of undergrounding the fiber Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 6 optic conduit Town will pay for 50% of costs The subject property is unique in that it is located on a section of Indiantown Road which may be redesigned in the near future. A workshop and conceptual plans are planned to be prepared soon for the redesign of Indiantown Road between US Highway One and State Road A1A. The final design of the roadway is to be determined in the future; however, the changes could potentially affect the location of underground utilities, street lights, and even fiber optic conduit. Because the final street design is unknown, staff suggests allowing the applicant to pay for half of the estimated costs of installing the utilities and fiber optic conduit underground. When Indiantown Road is ultimately redesigned, the Town can use the money to complete the undergrounding work, install the fiber optic conduit, and install the decorative street lights. Additional details regarding each staff recommendation are as follows: Undergrounding Utilities – On May 20, 2003, the Town Council approved a site plan amendment and a phasing plan for the previous building expansion. The approval included conditions on undergrounding the utilities along Indiantown Road which was an issue for the applicant. At the time, the cost associated with undergrounding was estimated at $131,000, which was too much for the theater to fund. Staff suggested that the Town pay for the conduit to be installed underground up front, which would allow the utilities to be placed underground without disturbing the landscaping or sidewalk during phase two. The Town Council voted to pay for half of the costs associated with the undergrounding of utilities, including paying the full cost of installing the conduit necessary for undergrounding (see Attachment D). The Town paid the theater $24,994.01 on October 28, 2004 to fund the installation the conduit. The conduits were installed underground and the sidewalk and landscaping were completed. Because phase two was never constructed, the utilities were never placed within the conduit. Since the subject application is a significant expansion, the property is required to meet all code requirements, including undergrounding the utilities along Indiantown Road. Because Indiantown Road may be redesigned in the future, staff is recommending a condition that requires the applicant to pay for 50 percent of the undergrounding costs prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The applicant has obtained a verbal quote from Florida Power and Light for the cost associated with completing the undergrounding work ranging from $50,000 to $75,000. Decorative Street Lights – In addition to paying for the full cost of installing the conduit and committing to pay for 50 percent of the undergrounding costs, the Town Council in 2003 also agreed to install the decorative street lights along Indiantown Road after the undergrounding was complete. Staff has not included a condition regarding the decorative street lights because of Town Council’s previous commitment. Based on a recent cost estimate of the decorative street lights, staff has concluded that the Town’s cost of installing the lights would be approximately $65,000. Fiber Optic Conduit – The property is within Phase 3 of the Town’s proposed Broadband Fiber Optic Network which includes the property frontage along both State Road A1A and Indiantown Road. There is no code requirement yet adopted to require the installation of conduit. Projects that are being developed or redeveloped, which are located in the designated fiber optic loop, have been recommended to provide conduit for fiber optic cables. Similar to the recommendation for underground the utilities, staff has Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 7 recommended a condition that the applicant pay for 50 percent of the cost of installing the conduit for the Town’s fiber optic network. Staff has recommended 50 percent based on Town Council’s prior commitment to pay for 50 percent of the undergrounding costs. The cost of installing fiber optic conduit varies from property to property. If the conduit is installed by trenching within the grass strip of the right-of-way, the cost will be approximately $8 per linear foot. The cost to install conduit by directional bore is approximately $20 per foot. Because the costs can vary depending upon the property, the final contribution amount will be based on an engineer’s design of the undergrounding cost. Staff has included a condition that the applicant submit an estimate prior to building permits to determine the final contribution amount. The estimated total cost is $10,000 to 25,000 for fiber conduit. In addition, staff has included a condition requiring a 10 foot utility easement along the State Road A1A frontage to allow the Town to install the fiber optic conduit in the future. The condition also includes an option for the applicant to demonstrate that the conduit could be installed within the existing right-of-way in lieu of dedicating an easement. When the roadway is redesigned or the fiber is proposed to be installed, the money can be used to fund the installation of the fiber optic conduit. Traffic. The proposed development is in conformance with Palm Beach County’s and the Town’s traffic performance standards. New Driveway connection – The applicant is proposing a new driveway on the northwest corner of the property that connects the northern parking area to A1A in order to eliminate the dead end parking area and to provide better circulation for the student drop off and pick up. Because A1A is county owned, Staff has recommended that the applicant obtain approval from Palm Beach County to construct the driveway, prior to the issuance of permits. If approval cannot be obtained, the applicant is required to work with staff to redesign the area. Cross Access – The previous approval in 2003 required the applicant to obtain a formal cross access agreement from the entry driveway adjacent to Indiantown Road to Reynolds Plaza to the west. A formal cross access agreement was never finalized. Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the applicant provide the cross access agreement from the driveway adjacent to Indiantown Road to the property line where the shared driveway connects to Reynolds Plaza. It should be noted that Reynolds Plaza will be required to provide a similar cross access easement upon any redevelopment. Archaeological monitoring. The subject property is located in the Coastal Strand archaeological potential zone. Pursuant to Section 27-1675.11(4)(c), the applicant is required to address the potential impacts on any archeological resources. The Town’s archaeological consultant, Advanced Archaeology, Inc., has reviewed the application and has recommended intermittent archaeological monitoring during ground disturbing construction activities. Staff has recommended a condition of approval requiring that the applicant to hire a qualified archaeologist to conduct the intermittent archaeological monitoring during ground disturbing construction. The applicant is then required to complete and submit to the Town a report of the findings of the archaeological fieldwork. Pursuant to town code, the cost of the Town’s archaeological consultant to review any archaeological reports submitted by the applicant, are to be borne by the property owner. Workforce Housing. Pursuant to Section 27-1675.38, all non-residential developments are required to provide a linkage fee of $1.00 per square foot of additional square footage over Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 8 10,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing a 31,524 square foot expansion. Therefore, staff is recommending a condition of approval that the applicant pay $21,524 into the Town’s Housing Trust Fund prior to the issuance of any development permits. Signage. The proposed application is not in conformance with the Indiantown Road Overlay Zoning (IOZ) Parkway District special sign regulations. Façade signs o Primary façade sign (south elevation) – The existing wall sign received a variance approval on April 13, 2004 to exceed the code requirements in both size and height. The code allows a 112 square foot sign at a maximum of 4 feet in sign height. The existing sign approved by the variance is 154 square feet and 11 feet in sign height. The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing sign and place it back on the façade after the architectural improvements are completed. Staff is supportive of maintaining the existing sign. o Secondary façade sign (east elevation) – The proposed secondary sign is 177 square feet and 7.75 feet tall, which exceeds the size allowed within the Parkways district of the Indiantown Road Overlay Zoning District. Pursuant to Section 27-871, Table 9, the façade sign is allowed to be a maximum of 69.75 square feet and a maximum of 4 foot in sign height. Staff has recommended a condition of approval that the secondary facade sign be reduced to meet the code requirements. Monument signs – Pursuant to Resolution #65-03, the applicant was allowed two monument signs, one on Indiantown Road and one on A1A. The signs were capped at 105 square feet with a 16 square foot changeable copy area. In addition, the height was capped at 8 feet, with the allowance for a decorative feature to extend to 10.5 feet. The applicant is requesting new monument signs with the proposed expansion. The applicant is proposing two, 77 square foot monument signs with 14.7 square feet of changeable copy area, which is less than the previously approved signage. However, the applicant is also proposing to increase the height of the sign to 10 feet with the decorative feature extending to 12 feet, which is taller than the previous approval allowed. Staff is proposing to carry over the signage conditions from Resolution #65-03 and allow the request to increase the height of the monument sign based on the following: o Pursuant to Section 27-871, Table 9, the monument signs are allowed to be up to 15 feet in height based on the property’s large street frontage. o The theater is on 4.8 acres and is setback 140 feet from Indiantown Road and A1A. The large setbacks and landscape buffers along the roadways hide the building from plain sight. o The theater is the only use on the property which reduces the potential visual clutter of multiple tenant names on the sign. o The architectural style of the sign is consistent with proposed building. Parking. The proposed development is in conformance with Section 27-1258 entitled, “Standards for required off-street parking and loading spaces”. The proposed theater expansion is increasing the number of seats from 617 to 640 parking spaces, requiring a total of 213 parking spaces. The applicant is redesigning the parking lot to increase the number of parking spaces to 242, and enhancing the circulation by connecting the rows of parking, which is a significant improvement to eliminate the dead end rows. Flexible Theater – The proposed expansion includes the addition of a flexible theater space with seats for 199 people. Because the number of parking spaces for a theater is calculated based on the number of seats, it is important to ensure the flexible theater Maltz Jupiter Theater - Staff Report Page 9 and main theater are not being used at the same time. The applicant justifies that the flexible theater space is used for a different type of performance and will not be used at the same time as the main theater. In order to ensure compliance and reduce the potential for parking issues, staff is recommending a condition that performances are not allowed during the same time within the main theater and flexible theater space, unless additional parking is provided. This would provide flexibility if events are proposed to occur at the same and the applicant can secure the required parking on nearby properties during such events. Such arrangements would need to be approved by the Town. Site plan criteria. Town Code, Section 27-96, contains minimum criteria for review of all development application processed. Upon review of the 12 criteria in Section 27-96, staff finds that the Owner has satisfied 11 of the 12 criteria. 2) Is the application consistent with all applicable land development regulations and all other portions of the Jupiter Town Code. Staff has recommended conditions of approval for the following code sections that will ensure that the proposed development is in compliance. Section 27-868(6), entitled “Underground Utilities” Section 27-1258, Table 1, entitled “Standards for required off-street parking and loading spaces” Section 27-1675.11(4)(c), entitled “Archaeological resources protection” Section 27-1675.38, entitled “Commercial and industrial development linkage fee” Section 27-871, Table 9, entitled “Parkway District Sign Standards Matrix” Special exception criteria. Section 27-98 contains minimum criteria for review of special exception applications. Upon review of the criteria in Section 27-98, staff finds that the applicant has satisfied all of the minimum criteria. (2) The proposed special exception use shall not have a detrimental impact on surrounding properties based on: a. The number of persons anticipated to be using, residing, or working on the property as a result of the special exception use; Staff comment: Staff has included a condition of approval regarding the proposed flexible theater space to ensure it is not used at the same time as the main theater, unless additional parking can be provided off-site. The condition has been recommended so that the number of people using the theater does not create a parking issue. (see Parking section above). Attachments.

Contact: Andrew Kato 1001 E Indiantown Road Jupiter, FL 33477 $4,500.00 $2,000.00 $150.00 Agent/ Planner Donaldson Hearing / Melissa Kostelia Cotleur & Hearing 1934 Commerce Lane, Suite 1 Jupiter, Florida 33458 Office 561.747.6336 ext. 102/114 History The subject site was originally approved via Resolution 138-02 and subsequently amended to allow phasing in 2013 via Resolution 65-03. The original approval was for 598 seats and expanded to 617 seats with an administrative approval in 2013. The theatre is the state’s largest award-winning regional theatre and a true regional asset to the Town of Jupiter community. The Maltz Jupiter Theatre is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) public charity and serves over 100,000 people annually in the tri-county area. Subject Request The applicant is requesting a site plan review and expansion to a previously approved special exception for a “Performance Theatre.” A theater is a special exception within the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. Approval of this request would allow a 31,524 SF expansion totaling 63,560 square feet or 640 seats, as shown below. Jupiter Maltz Theatre CH# 02-0206.02 DRC Amendment June 8, 2015 Revised August 4, 2015 Basement (new) First Floor Second Floor Third Floor Total Seats APPROVED PROPOSED DIFFERENCE 24,571 SF 6,977 SF 488 SF 32,036 SF 3,113 30,569 16,441 13,437 63,560 +3,113 +5,998 +9,464 +12,949 +31,524 617 640 +23 Seats Building Expansion The majority of the expansion areas shall comprise of accessory uses to enhance the existing structure and provide more amenities to the existing theatre. The basement area encompasses complementary uses for the orchestra, such as a changing room, restrooms and the orchestra pit. The first floor expansion includes a flex theatre (totaling 199 seats), expanded stage and the Conservatory for Performing Arts (COPA) lobby. The new costume shop (sewing room) is located on the second floor. The Jupiter Maltz Theatre sews 90% of the costumes for their productions; this proposed area shall add a lot of value to the existing theater. The third floor is the COPA (or educational acting space for children) and consists of a dance studio, flex room, offices, acting rooms, miscellaneous studios and rehearsal spaces. It is important to note, performances will not run in both the main theatre and the flex theatre at the same time. Please see the attached letter from the Maltz Jupiter Theatre detailing the existing and future operations of the theatre, including the flex theatre, cross access, visitors and employees. Architecture The previous dinner theatre was designed as a “modified fly” stage and was not designed to meet theatre standards. The added massing and height of the expansion will allow full floor-to-ceiling scenery and backdrop equal to Broadway show standards. The south-west corner of the building has been redesigned to incorporate acrylic glazing to simulate frosted glass. The acrylic glazing shall appear milky white during the day and transparent at night. The glazing is angled and recessed to reduce glare similar to 1950’s store fronts. The purpose of this architectural feature is to showcase the first floor green room, the costume shop and rehearsal space of the COPA. Architectural aluminum details suggest Hollywood sky-beam lights to add modern touch. The port-cohere has been designed to replace the existing awning and a new entrance was added for the COPA on the east side of the building. Both of these entrances incorporate score lines to match the acrylic glazing detail. Setbacks The front setback along State Road AIA is required to have a minimum of 50’ setback. The proposed expansion is 92’ measured from the front property line. The front setback is appropriately screened and landscaped by the way of an existing landscape buffer. The side setback, adjacent to a residential community, is an existing condition of 30’ from the property line. The LDRs require a minimum a 10’ setback. The side setback is appropriately screened by the way of an existing landscape and a 6’ concrete wall. 2 Jupiter Maltz Theatre CH# 02-0206.02 DRC Amendment June 8, 2015 Revised August 4, 2015 Parking, Loading and Access The applicant is proposing a new right in- right out ingress/egress from A1A. The entrance shall maintain the 15’ landscape buffer along the north property line, primarily serve the COPA students and aid the overall circulation of the site. The loading area has been redesigned and relocated due to the expansion area. The theatre is planning on a few “Pre-Broadway” shows a year. In order to bring in the props and staging materials, the site has been designed to have an easily accessible loading area to accommodate a large truck and/or semi. The theatre parks at one per three seats. The applicant is proposing a total of 640 seats, resulting in 213 required parking spaces. The existing site plan has 224 parking spaces, which is more than enough to accommodate the additional 23 seats; however there are several dead-end rows of parking and more than ten (10) parking spaces in a row without a parking island. Since the proposed expansion request is greater than 20 percent, the site does not qualify for Section 24-197, Incentives for Redevelopment. The applicant is required to bring the entire site up to current code. The site plan has been redesigned to eliminate all dead-end parking and add an additional 18 parking spaces, totaling 242 spaces. The existing parking lot, located out of the affected area, shall remain and utilize the disbursement of shade code provision. Greenspace and Lot Coverage According to Chapter 27, Article VI, Division 7, Section 27-554, Area and dimension regulations: the minimum greenspace is 30 percent. The proposed greenspace is 32 percent. The maximum amount of lot coverage is 35 percent; the actual lot coverage is 16 percent. Landscape The subject site currently consists of existing landscape buffers on all sides. The majority of the existing landscape buffers shall remain as it is today. However, the since the parking lot has been redesigned the majority of the existing landscape in the parking lot will have to be removed or relocated. There are a total of seven coconut palms within the east buffer within area of the new entrance drive, all seven coconuts will be relocated and tucked within the eastern buffer along A-1-A. The north 15’ wide landscape buffer is adjacent to an existing multifamily residential community. The buffer comprises of an existing 6’ wall along with a dense buffer of seagrape that line the wall on both sides. Areca palms and shade trees are sprinkled within the north buffer. This buffer has been enhanced to include japanese blueberry trees which will provide additional coverage for the residential community and meet the north buffer code requirements. The west and south buffers will remain and are not within the affected area. 3 Jupiter Maltz Theatre CH# 02-0206.02 DRC Amendment June 8, 2015 Revised August 4, 2015 Foundation Planting The foundation planting for the expanded Maltz Theatre plays off of the specialized architecture and materials, to enhance the aesthetics to its fullest potential. The south elevation planting allows for a grand entry with three medjool date palms and skirts of bougainvillea. The landscape has been deliberately design to mimic patterns within the planting beds which respond directly from the architectural elements, as shown on the South Elevation Detail, sheet 2 of 2 of the Landscape Plans. The remaining elevations include a rhythmic dance of palms at a variety of heights to allow for movement and the softening of the outer walls and to provide scale to the building. It is important to note, the north elevation (adjacent to the residential district) was carefully designed, heavily planted and was not treated as the “back of house” area in any way. Mechanical Equipment The majority of the mechanical requirement onsite has been relocated to be on the roof, hidden by a proposed parapet. Signage The applicant is proposing to “relocate” the existing wall signage unto the proposed architecture. The theatre is in the process of possibly rebranding, therefore the final sign copy and square footages shall be provided under separate cover. However, the architect has schematically shown the signage on the illustrative graphics. The proposed monument signs require an amendment to the existing condition of approval. Per Resolution-65-03, Condition F, Indiantown Road and State Road A-1-A monument signs are limited to 105 SF with 16 SF changeable copy, a maximum of 8’ height with a decorative feature extending 10.5’ height. The applicant is proposing monument signs less than the maximum square footage; however the height is proposed at 12’. Undergrounding of Overhead Lines Around 2003-2004 conduit was installed along Indiantown Road for the purposes of undergrounding overhead lines. Town of Jupiter staff has indicated that applicant should underground these lines with this application. The project’s budget has increased due to the redesign of the parking lot and now requires demolition of the existing parking lot, new lighting, drainage and landscaping. The applicant is requesting some relief from this requirement. Conclusion The applicant, Maltz Jupiter Theater, is excited to move forward with their much sought out theater expansion. The success of the theater has been in direct relation from the support of the Town of Jupiter.

The site is located on the northwest corner of Indiantown Road & Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) in Jupiter, Florida. The PCN for the site is 30-43-41-05-00-002-0022. Figure 1 shows the site location. The existing site contains a 617-seat theater. It is proposed to add a 23 seats to the theater, for a total of 640. This analysis evaluates the net traffic-related impacts of the proposed expansion. The analysis was prepared to address the requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) Ordinance. Trip Generation Analysis A trip generation analysis was undertaken to evaluate the trips associated with the existing and proposed uses. Since Palm Beach County does not publish trip generation rates for live theaters, and since ITE only provides limited data for live theaters, the Palm Beach County rates for Movie Theater were used. As shown in Table 1, the proposed development results in a net increase of 39 net new daily trips and 2 PM peak hour trips (2 in, 0 out). Per the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) Ordinance, the radius of development includes only the directly accessed links. Traffic Assignment The AM and PM peak hour trips associated with the project were assigned to the surrounding roadways. Figure 2 illustrates the project traffic assignment. Test 1 Significance Analysis Per Article 12 – Traffic Performance Standards of the Unified Land Development Code, the links on which the project traffic is greater than 1% of the level of service (LOS) D generalized service volume are considered to be significantly impacted. As shown in Table 2, none of the roadway links are projected to be significantly impacted. Therefore, no further roadway or intersection capacity analyses are required. Event Trip Generation Analysis A trip generation analysis was undertaken to evaluate the trips associated with a sold out production. In order to best calculate the traffic associated with this scenario the ITE trip generation rate for Movie Theater with Matinee was used to determine the Saturday peak hour of generator. As shown in Table 3, the event traffic results in 294 peak hour trips (165 in, 129 out). For informational purposes, the peak driveway volumes are shown in Figure 3. However, it should be noted that these volumes will occur infrequently and often at times of day that do not correspond with peak hours of adjacent street traffic; therefore no additional turn lanes are recommended. kimley-horn.com 1920 Wekiva Way, Suite 200, West Palm Beach, FL 33411 561 845 0665 Page 2 Driveway Evaluation The site is currently accessed by one full access driveway on Indiantown Road and one full access driveway on SR A1A. It is proposed to construct a right-in/right-out driveway on SR A1A, north of the existing driveway. The proposed trips associated with the site were assigned to the driveways as shown in Figure 3. The project driveway volumes were compared against the Palm Beach County thresholds to determine the turn lane requirements of the driveways. The Palm Beach County Design Standards Manual contains a threshold for providing a right-turn lane when inbound peak hour rightturning traffic is 75 vehicles or more and the street average daily traffic volume exceeds 10,000 vehicles per day. This manual also contains a threshold for providing a left-turn lane when inbound peak hour left-turning traffic is greater than 30 vehicles. Based on the analysis undertaken, the left turning volume entering the site from Indiantown Road is expected to exceed 30 vehicles in the peak hour. However, the inside lanes of Indiantown Road serve as de-facto left-turn lanes on this segment of Indiantown Road; no turn lanes are provided for other driveways. Furthermore, the proposed addition will only add one peak hour left turn at this location. Therefore, it is not recommended to add a left-turn lane at this location. Flexible Seating Area It is proposed to include a flexible seating area of 199 seats. The Maltz Theater has issued a letter stating the following: “The proposed project would add a small number (23) seats to the main theatre auditorium, making the current parking density still in compliance with regulations. The second performance space proposed by the project would provide for a maximum capacity of 199 attendees. It is not intended to run performances in both the main and second spaces at the same time. The purpose of the second space is to provide different types of programming not permitted in the main theatre auditorium, with such programming largely taking place when the main theatre is “dark” or not being otherwise used. This allows the Maltz Jupiter Theatre to be fully utilized during the busiest times of the year, offering a full range of programming to our community. Accordingly, the project does not propose to increase the amount of parking for second performance space attendees, minimizing the impact to the site.” Therefore, because the flexible seating area will not be in use at the same time as the main theater, no additional peak hour traffic will be generated by the flexible seating area. kimley-horn.com 1920 Wekiva Way, Suite 200, West Palm Beach, FL 33411 561 845 0665 Page 3 Conclusion The foregoing analysis demonstrates that the proposed development on the site will meet the requirements of the Palm Beach County TPS Ordinance. No additional turn lanes are recommended to accommodate site traffic. We appreciate this opportunity to work with you on this project.

Resolution 138-02, Jupiter Theater (Council comments) Mr. Baird suggested Council could approve the site plan with a condition that the landmark feature and the undergrounding issues come back to Council with a Staff recommendation, after Staff and the Theater representatives had time to reach a solution on the issue. He suggested the language in Paragraph 6 be amended. Mayor Golonka indicated Paragraph 6 would need to be modified to reflect Mr. Baird's comments. Consensus of Council agreed. She indicated she could not support the Town contributing any more money to enhance the landmark feature around the pond. ViceMayor Henderson and Councilor Daniels agreed. Mr. Bartolotta suggested inserting a 120 day time limit in paragraph 6. Consensus of Council agreed. Mayor Golonka summarized Council's comments: 1) the condition regarding handicap parking spaces be modified to indicate that valet parking will meet the special needs guests as a means to accommodate the handicap parking; 2) Council would not require the interconnection of the eastern parking lots due to the applicant providing a turn around; 3) Delete the requirement regarding the median, due to there not being a median at that location; 4) Delete the requirement for the additional coconut palms; 5) modifying condition 8b reducing the size of the triangle easement to 115 feet; and 6) revise plan dates in the resolution to match Council approved plans. Councilor Kozinski moved to approve Resolution 138-02, with changes and modifications as discussed by Council; seconded by Vice-Mayor Henderson; motion passed.

Located on 5.0± acres, at the northwest corner of Indiantown Road and State Road A 1A. Quasi-judicial Ex-parte Communications • Councilor Kozinski advised she had spoken within the last month with Mr. Price and Mr. Katz regarding the application. • Vice-Mayor Kuretski, Councilor Henderson, Councilor Daniels had no disclosures at this time. The Deputy Town Clerk swore in ten people. Ms. Stephanie Thoburn, Staff Principal Planner, stated Staff recommended approval of applicants' request to modify Resolution 65-03 to allow phasing of the approved renovations to the Theater and to determine the applicant's contribution to the undergrounding of the utilities. [14 minutes remaining] Mr. Donaldson Hearing, of Cotleur and Hearing, and representing the applicant explained the Theater needed to defer the fac;ade improvements to enable the Theater to open, as fundraising was not as strong as hoped. He made a presentation which showed the powerlines and the 140' triangle easement for the landmark feature, as well as the pedestrian access easement and additional right of way along Alternate A 1A, and the 30' pedestrian access and landscape easement along Indiantown Road. He noted these components of the site plan would be completed, and construction would be started when Staff advised as to the design cross-section of A 1A. TIC MINUTES - Page 7 MAY 20, 2003 REGULAR AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS 9.1 Resolution 65-03, Jupiter Theater Mr. Hearing listed the components which the applicant wanted to defer were fa9ade changes, foundation landscaping, and utilitarian improvements to the rear of the building. He listed the following would occur in phase one: parking lot renovation including landscaping, the northern buffer wall and parking lot lighting. He stated the current status was that demolition had commenced, exotic vegetation was removed and parking lot and audience chambers renovations were commencing. He noted the Theater was probably not going to receive a $500,000 grant from the Florida legislature this year; the Theater was doing $2.5 million in renovations in phase one and the project was $5 million short in total. He agreed with Staff's recommendation for the Town to fund the power conduit, deferring the power lines to a later date, but disagreed with the recommendation requiring phase two completion within 24 months. He also noted the Theater could not post a surety bond, and that the Theater would do extensive landscaping but not foundation landscaping which would be removed during phase two. [5 ~minutes remaining] (Council questions) Councilor Henderson requested clarification on the opening date. Mr. Todd Price, Theater Director, stated it was January 2004. She requested the timetable for phase two, and Mr. Hearing advised the goal was three years after completing phase one, but it was dependent upon fund-raising. Mr. Bartolotta emphasized the resolution included a two year time frame for completion; the applicant was requesting an open-ended time frame. Councilor Henderson felt the two-year limit helped fund raising efforts by creating a sense of urgency, and supported it, with the understanding the Theater could request an extension. She did not support the bond requirement. Councilor Daniels questioned who would pay for the streetlights when the power lines were undergrounded, and what type of lighting would be needed. Mr. Schattner, Director of Engineering, advised one light would be required; cost was $1,000 - $3,000. Mr. Bartolotta noted the Staff recommendation was the Town bearthe $25,000 cost forthe conduit, with the Theater burying it in phase two; their commitment being guaranteed with a bond. Councilor Daniels felt the Town should budget for ornamental streetlights and control the style. Vice-Mayor Kuretski questioned and received Applicant/Staff clarifications that phase two construction would take nine months, that undergrounding by Adelphia would cost $36,000, and that FPL would not bury without the other utilities removing their lines first. Councilor Kozinski clarified the water service agreement requirement was due to increased water consumption. TIC MINUTES - Page 8 MAY 20, 2003 REGULAR AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS 9.1 Resolution 65-03, Jupiter Theater (Public comments) Mr. Richard Katz of Spyglass Lane in Jupiter and Jupiter Theater Board of Directors member stated the Theater needed to go forward and requested the permitting as soon as possible. (Council comments) Councilor Daniels commented that he did not see a need for a 140' landmark easement, as he thought the consensus of Council was the fa9ade was the landmark, and Mr. Bartolotta agreed, but noted the easement was in return for the Town maintaining the landscaping. Councilor Daniels supported no bond, and leaving the time requirement, particularly since he was receiving citizen comments on the site being currently unattractive. Vice-Mayor Kuretski noted that six months ago, the Town made a $200,000.00 commitment to the Theater with the sidewalk, water and maintenance from current and future tax collections. He expressed a concern with supporting further commitment of public funds without knowing the impact on ad valorem tax rate. He supported the time limit and had reservations on leaving the undergrounding issue open-ended. Mr. Hearing clarified the Theater did not have the money to do the undergrounding. Councilor Kozinski complimented the Theater on the job they have been doing, and stated the Theater needed assistance from the town. She felt a charitable organization should not have to pay for undergrounding; the Town should pay as the corner and undergrounding was so important to the Town. She agreed with the two-year concept, but wanted language added regarding best efforts so the Theater would not be caught in the future. She supported no foundation plantings. Councilor Kozinski made a motion to approve Resolution 65-03 with the Town paying for the conduit and undergrounding, that the fa9ade be completed within two years using best efforts, no bond requirement, and no foundation plantings during phase one. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilor Daniels moved to approve Resolution 65-03 with the two year requirement with Council option to extend, no foundation planting until phase two, no bond requirement, the Town pay for Council selected street lighting after undergrounding of the utilities, which would be paid for with the Town funding the conduit up front, and up to 50% of the total undergrounding cost at phase two; seconded by Councilor Henderson. Councilor Kozinski stated she would support the motion to move the Theater project forward, although she still had the concerns stated. Vice-Mayor Kuretski reiterated he could not support undergrounding between a budget cycle without knowing the impact on ad valorem taxes. We have made all these decisions on the Theatre between budget cycles. TIC MINUTES - Page 9 MAY 20, 2003 REGULAR AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS 9.1 Resolution 65-03, Jupiter Theater Councilor Daniels noted the Council contingency funds could be used, but he expected to be able to find funding over three years.

Ordinance 3-03, First Reading, Public School Facilities Element and Capital Improvements Element - Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Text Amendment to the Public School Facilities (PSF) Element of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to annual updates to the concurrency map series. Replacement School Attendance Zone maps in PSF Element Data and Analysis with updated maps. Amendment to the Capital Improvements Element pertaining to annual update of Table 11 entitled "School District of Palm Beach County Six-Year Capital Improvement Schedule." (Second Reading - TBA) Mr. David Kemp, Staff Principal Planner, explained this was an annual update to the school the six-year CIP for the County, text facilities element of the comp plan changing: amendments including map changes, and attendance area boundary maps needing updating. He stated the amendments came from the lnterlocal agreement establishing school concurrency. Vice-Mayor Kuretski noted he discovered the capacity standard for a single school in the area had been increased from 120% to 130%, and he questioned how this happened. Mr. Kemp advised this had been adopted in the second round of amendments December 2002 and sent to the Department of Community Affairs at that time. He thought the School Board had changed this due to increased population in the area. Vice-Mayor Kuretski inquired about adding language to require the School District to consider traffic concurrency. Town Attorney Baird noted the School District must approve facilities consistent with the comp plan, so if the comp plan was revised they would be required to meet that provision. Vice-Mayor Kuretski expressed disappointment with the School Board merely changing the school capacity Level of Service standard to appear in compliance. Councilor Henderson asked how the capacity standard could be reversed and noted Palm Beach County had stated the standard would be going down. She felt supporting this amendment would not be meeting concurrency. Mr. Shannon, Director of Community Development, advised Staff would research, but felt the interlocal agreement would have to be revised. Attachment E From: To: Subject: Date: Pat Stebbins Garret Watson; Pat Stebbins Maltz Theater Site Exception 15-169, hearing October 20, 2015 Monday, October 05, 2015 8:25:05 AM I am a home owner in Ocean Parks located on the north side of the Maltz Theater. Four or five years ago Ocean Parks homeowners took advantage of your great Neighborhood Matching Grant Program to rebuild and refurbish our ponds including two beautiful fountains as well as a signage project. Also at our home owner's expense we contributed $50,000. to the extensive landscaping project along A1A when it was improved 6-7 years ago, and we have continued to maintain it over the years costing us thousands of dollars. We are all about beautification and improvement in our community and along A1A. The Maltz Theater is a wonderful asset for our community. People from all over come to see the plays, bands or take classes and join outreach programs to enjoy and learn. In the past 4-5 years the owners of that property have made sizable investments in the buildings and hard scape but have left the landscape and outside community exposure unimproved and deteriorating. With that said, I want to shed light on some issues that I believe are improvements that should be considered in their current request, Site Exception 15-169. 1. Over the last 10 years, I have tried to have the pond (lake) located on the corner of the Maltz Theater property at Indiantown Road and A1A, cleaned of debris and garbage. I have also asked that the present aeration fountain be repaired or replaced. 2. Also lighting at that corner as well as all around Maltz property needs upgrading for safety and landscape beautification. All of the avenues available to me through Code Enforcement, Natural Resource Program, Building and Zoning, Planning and some Palm Beach County departments have not brought any response from my many attempts for improvement. I am requesting that the approval of site exception 15-169 from the Town be contingent on the Theater's agreement for these improvements in the pond and lighting as described above. I have a real and personal interest in this area, not only because I live next door but because I walk by there with my dog most every day. I see it up close and spend time in the morning as well as the evening hours. It is a shame to see the debris and offensive condition around the lake when it could be so beautiful. I hope you agree and can make this happen. Thank you, Pat Stebbins (561-748-1290) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 RESOLUTION NO. 63-15 A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF JUPITER, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION AND SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE MALTZ JUPITER THEATRE, AUTHORIZING AN EXPANSION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
