The site would be a redevelopment of the project that was once known as the Twin City Mall. Mr. Oyer explained that the request was for approval of a Special Planned Unit Development Master Plan and a condition of approval clarifying maximum building heights. Mr. Oyer reviewed and explained the purpose of the Master Plan and the components of the Village Place Master Plan. Mr. Oyer discussed the Owner/Developer Nadir Salour's proven project leadership with thirty-eight (38) years in Palm Beach County real estate development history and who has developed notable award -winning projects throughout Palm Beach County. Mr. Oyer discussed the experience of the Design Team for the proposed project which included himself as the Land Use Attorney from Shutts & Bowen, a Landscape Architect/Planner from 2GHO, an Architect from Gensler, a Civil/Traffic Engineer from Simmons & White, platting services from Keshavarz & Associates and surveying services from Lidberg Land Surveying. Mr. Oyer reviewed the Twin City Mall history, explained and showed the municipal/project boundaries indicating the Town of Lake Park's boundary and the Village of North Palm Beach's boundary. Pictures of the current condition of the property were displayed. Mr. Oyer stated that the vision for revitalization for the project included a mixed -use concept, would be harmonious and complimentary with approximately 30% open space, a large civic space, enhanced landscaping, substantial retail, pedestrian friendly and would be easily accessible to the community. Mr. Oyer continued the presentation and reviewed and discussed the following topics: • Community -Focused Civic Space Potential Uses • Village of North Palm Beach Citizen's Master Plan Report regarding the Northlake Promenade Shoppes (formerly Twin City Mall) published October 2016.

The Conceptual Landscape Plan would have perimeter buffers that will exceed code, civic space/common areas would be landscaped to create an environment of shade and esthetics to match the exceptional architecture of the project, street trees will line all public and private roads. Enhanced quantity and sizes of landscape materials along public right of ways would include a 20% increase for the minimum tree height and buffer tree spacing, 17% increase for shade tree height and 25% increase for the palm tree clear trunk. Detailed landscape plans would be provided at the time of site plan review. Mr. Oyer continued the PowerPoint presentation by reviewing and discussing community engagement, meetings that took place with Homeowner's Associations, and community support. Mr. Oyer concluded by stating that the proposed Village Place project was consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan, conformed with the Village's Code of Ordinances, complied with provisions of the C-3 Regional Zoning District, Village staff found the proposed application was consistent with measurable Village code requirements and the Joint Planning & Zoning approved the Master Plan request on May 8, 2024. Mr. Oyer played an animation of what the proposed Village Place project would look like when completed. Mr. Oyer stated that the applicant needed clarification on the height of the proposed project. Mr. Oyer stated that it was his understanding that if the applicant met the C-3 Planned Unit Development requirements, that the applicant would be entitled to the height. Mr. Oyer stated that it needed to be clear what height would be allowed for the project in order for the applicant to proceed or not to proceed with the project. These residents addressed the Council with their concerns regarding the proposed Village Place Planned Unit Development: Margo Keck, 100 Shore Court, #203 Ron Okolichany, 417 Northlake Drive Bill Hipple, 539 Captains Road Mary Phillips, 525 Ebbtide Drive Deborah Cross, 2560 Pepperwood Circle, S These residents expressed their support of the proposed Village Place Planned Unit Development: Susan Wood, 100 Shore Court Cynthia Fink, 21 Yacht Club Drive, #106 Robin Sabow, 11230 U.S. Highway 1 Kathleen Candlish, 120 Lehane Terrace Bernadette Opton, 505 Lighthouse Drive Noel Martinez, 5520 PGA Boulevard Dave Aiken, 107 Cruiser Road, N Martha Andres, 732 Tradewind Drive Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held August 8, 2024 Page 8 of 11 ORDINANCE 2024-12 — VILLAGE PLACE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT continued Councilmember Garrison asked that Mr. Rubin give his opinion on the maximum height and floor area ratio. Mr. Rubin explained that when the ordinance was drafted, it was expressed as maximums of 2.75 FAR and fourteen (14) and nine (9) story heights depending on the location, but it was clear that they were maximums, not entitlements. Due to the public benefits, staff had taken the position that height would be determined during the site plan process. Mr. Rubin stated that the applicant and representatives for the applicant have expressed that in order to obtain financing for the project, there would need to be a finality or commitment as to what heights the Council would accept. In order to do so, the Council would need to determine if there were adequate public benefits to justify the heights that Council is willing to accept. Councilmember Garrison stated that based on her experience as a professional planner, she felt comfortable with what she heard that night concerning the proposed project. The traffic performance standards were very strict and the proposed project met all of the criteria. The Council needs to consider the economic impacts of the proposed project. The commitment of the developer to put in the infrastructure up front was important. Councilmember Garrison stated that she was not afraid or concerned with height and density because it can be used as a tool as well as mixed use development which could mitigate negative impacts of development. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she was a Business Professor and understood that with business there are trade-offs and what the residents want were more places to shop, dine and gather. All of those public amenities such as a larger civic space than City Place would not come without a trade- off such as height. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that the project would give the Village a large tax benefit without impacting the Village's single family homes and it would provide green benefits. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that the Village's tax base was in need of diversification and the millage rate was being raised in order to keep the benefits that residents were currently receiving such as five (5) day a week garbage service. New developments would subsidize such benefits. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that the developer was a good developer who has taken the time to meet with residents and has been forthright with his plans. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that the project would keep the Village as a family friendly place where there would be additional public and community events that would provide a public benefit without hiring more Village staff. Vice Mayor Searcy concluded by stating that she was willing to accept the proposed height of the project for the public benefit that it would provide and she was comfortable with giving the developer a guaranteed height in order for them to move forward with financing for the project. Mayor Bickel stated that the proposed project was beautiful and that she welcomed additional tax revenue but she was not comfortable with nine (9) stories on U.S. Highway 1. Mayor Bickel stated that she may be comfortable with the fourteen (14) stories on the interior of the property but not nine (9) stories along the outside. Mayor Bickel stated that she was in support of the majority of the project, but would need the proposed nine (9) stories to be changed to a lower level of height. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that she was born and raised in North Palm Beach and frequented the Twin City Mall. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that the property has been very different from when it was the Twin City Mall in that it was no longer a place could go to really enjoy. Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held August 8, 2024 Page 9 of 11 ORDINANCE 2024-12 — VILLAGE PLACE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT continued President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that the project needed to be taken from where the Village code currently stood. The code that applies to the proposed project was already adopted. The Village is required to apply that code when evaluating the project and there is no other option. President Pro Tem Interlandi explained the requirements of the code stating that it is required that the height, density and floor area ratio be included in the Master Plan. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that she was not interested in approving a Master Plan that evening with a height and density that the Council was not willing to accept. President Pro Tem Interlandi explained that the current Council needed to come to an agreement on what they would allow for the proposed project. Otherwise a future Council could come back and approve something with more height and density because the code allows a maximum height of fourteen (14) stories and a 2.75 FAR. President Pro Tem Interlandi expressed that the current Council needed to decide what they want to go forward as the project and limit the project accordingly. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that she did not have an issue with giving the developer certainty on what would be allowed in order for them to move forward with the project. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that Mr. Oyer's explanation of the traffic was correct in that the County doles out the traffic on a first come first serve basis. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that over time traffic cannot be controlled as the population continues to grow. Councilmember Puyol stated that he recently watched the May 8th joint meeting of the Lake Park and North Palm Beach Planning and Zoning Boards. Councilmember Puyol stated that the Village's Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board's members were residents and volunteers and their recommendations and vision of what the proposed project should look like must be taken into consideration. Councilmember Puyol read the resulting vote of the May 8th meeting and reiterated that the Council should make their decision based on the resulting vote. Mr. Huff stated that new development was taking place in the surrounding areas. Mr. Huff stated that he believed that the developer, Council and residents could come to a reasonable conclusion or happy medium for the proposed project. Mr. Oyer began with a rebuttal to previous statements. Mr. Oyer thanked Council for their thoughtful dialogue but respectfully disagreed that the developer brought a Master Plan before Council that gives the required civic space and all of the other criteria which is the gift to the Village, but the developer must accept no benefit of the bargain. Mr. Oyer reviewed all of the extra criteria that the developer was meeting. Mr. Oyer stated that the developer needed to walk out with an agreement. Mr. Oyer stated that if Council could not reach an agreement with the developer and the project was not what they wanted for the community, the developer would be disappointed but would have to walk away from the proposed project. Mr. Oyer stated that instead of the type of project the developer is proposing, there will be box space storage or garden type apartments that would be placed on the property. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that a hotel was indicated in the Master Plan and asked what would happen if the developer could not find a hotel. Mr. Oyer stated that a hotel was a permitted use and the project would be market driven. Mr. Oyer explained that phases of the project may change over time based on the economy and the market. The uses were proposed likely uses based on the market. Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held August 8, 2024 Page 10 of 11 ORDINANCE 2024-12 — VILLAGE PLACE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT continued Discussion, questions, and answers continued between Mr. Oyer, Nadir Salour, and Councilmembers regarding the proposed project. President Pro Tem Interlandi stated that she strongly supported making a decision that night on how many stories the Council would accept and detailed her reasons why. Discussion continued between Mr. Oyer and Councilmembers on different options for the proposed project. Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding which heights they would be comfortable with for the proposed project. Discussion ensued between Mr. Oyer and President Pro Tem Interlandi regarding the recommendation of the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board and the requirements of the Village code and the Master Plan. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she was in approval of the heights presented by the developer because she wanted all of the public benefits that would come with the proposed project at those heights. Councilmember Garrison stated that she liked the idea of a tiered building along U.S. Highway 1. President Pro Tem Interlandi recommended a larger setback for the upper story setback along U.S. Highway 1. Mr. Huff clarified that he understood that the majority of Council was willing to accept the fourteen (14) stories of the interior building, but wanted to revise the stories of the outer building that ran alongside U.S. Highway 1. Mayor Bickel stated that she would prefer for the developer to go back and discuss the options with their consultants and bring those options back to Council for consideration at the next meeting. Mr. Salour asked if they could limit the stories alongside U.S. Highway 1 from nine (9) stories to eight (8) stories with an increased setback above the fourth story. Discussion continued among the Council on how to proceed with the agenda item. A motion was made by Councilmember Garrison and seconded by President Pro Tem Interlandi to continue the first reading of Ordinance 2024-12 Village Place Planned Unit Development to the next Council meeting scheduled on August 22, 2024. Thereafter the motion passed unanimously.
