SUBJECT: Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Improvements – A site plan amendment to construct a 9,360 square foot batting tunnel building in the practice field area, on a 90± acre property, located at 4355 Stadium Drive. HEARING DATES: PZ 04/09/19 PZ # 19-3695 TC 05/21/19 (quasi-judicial) Res. # 45-19 GW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Consideration of a site plan amendment to construct a 9,360 square foot batting tunnel building in the practice field area.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium was constructed in 1997 with a stadium, several practice fields, and associated facilities for the purpose of supporting spring training. The proposed project is a modification to the existing uncovered batting cage area to enclose the batting tunnels for protection from inclement weather.

Staff has recommended conditions of approval to ensure that the landscaping and signage associated with the proposed building are in compliance with the Town code. As part of the Town’s continued vigilance on the Strategic Initiative for Abacoa Town Center and the Stadium parking issues, staff has included parking information in the staff report. Palm Beach County has requested that a discussion related to parking be differed until the stadium plans a large scale renovation at a later date, since the proposal does not impact parking requirements. As a result, staff has not included any conditions of approval related to parking on this application.

The applicant has no issues with the conditions of approval in Resolution #45-19.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their April 9, 2019 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (by a 7 to 0 vote) to approve the above mentioned project with no modifications to staff’s recommendation.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of Resolution #45-19.

Strategic Result: Strong Local Economy

Roger Dean Stadium - Site Plan for Covered Batting Tunnels Staff Report (PZ 19-3695) Page 3

Background/history.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium was constructed in 1997 as part of the first phase of Abacoa. The property was developed with a stadium and several practice fields and associated facilities for the purpose of supporting spring training. The proposed project is a modification to the existing uncovered batting cage area in between the practice fields to enclose the batting tunnels for protection from inclement weather. The enclosed building will allow for the players to practice in foul weather and will also provide an air conditioned area for the coaches and staff to view the players' progress. In addition, the building will provide a water station and restroom facilities for players (see Attachment B).

The proposed project is going before the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council because the additional square footage added to the property exceeds the requirements in the code for administrative review. Pursuant to Section 27-259(4)(c)(1), any increases in square footage exceeding 2,000 square feet are not eligible for administrative review.

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 Plan. The analysis is as follows:

Comprehensive Plan consistency. The proposed development is in conformance with the Future Land Use element of the Comprehensive Plan.

Site Plan. The proposed site plan is in conformance with Chapter 27 of the Town code.

Landscaping. The proposed project is in general conformance with the landscaping requirements of Chapter 23, but the plans have some missing and inaccurate information.  Foundation planting – Section 23-70 requires foundation plantings, including trees, shrubs, and groundcovers around the perimeters of principal buildings; however, staff has consistently interpreted this code to apply to all buildings on a subject property. The applicant requested an allowance for the trees required as foundation plantings to be shifted south to line the parking area as to not create a visual obstruction from the observation tower. Staff is generally accepting of the request as the applicant has provided the required amount of planting on site in alternate locations. While the foundation planting as proposed is acceptable, the landscape plan data provided by the applicant is inaccurate in the length of the foundation planting area. Staff has recommended a condition of approval that the applicant revise the landscape plan to reflect the correct length of foundation planting shown on the plans.  Native plant count – The applicant did not provide the total native plant count for the property in order for staff to confirm they are meeting the minimum 50 percent native material as required in Section 23-96. The applicant is proposing to add some non- native plants around the proposed project and have noted ‘pitch apple’ incorrectly as native. In order to ensure a minimum of 50 percent native materials remain on site, staff has recommended a condition that the applicant calculate the native plant materials on site and revise the materials around the site to ensure they are a minimum of 50 percent native, if necessary. It should be noted that recently, staff Roger Dean Stadium - Site Plan for Covered Batting Tunnels Staff Report (PZ 19-3695) Page 4

worked with the applicant to replace non-native trees and shrubs on site with native ones.

Parking. The proposed project is in conformance with the shared parking agreements approved for the stadium with Abacoa Town Center; however, changes to the stadium site and operations over the years has created parking related challenges when there are sellouts for a few of the most well attended games. In addition, the applicant has expressed concerns related to the terms of the executed parking agreements, including the desire for more off-site parking spaces. Staff has provided analysis related to this issue below.  Stadium/Abacoa Town Center parking – In 2015, the Town Council established “Abacoa baseball and parking” as a strategic initiative, which has been a continual priority and is now categorized as a vigilance item on the 2019-2020 strategic plan. On August 9, 2018, staff presented a roundtable to the Town Council discussing the parking for the Stadium (see Attachment D - Stadium/Abacoa Town Center parking issues). The full report and associated attachments related to this item can be found at https://www.jupiter.fl.us/DocumentCenter/View/19066/08?bidId.  Proposed projects effect on parking demand – The proposed project by itself does not generate any additional traffic beyond that of the primary stadium use, and therefore, it is not considered to be generating any additional parking demand. The applicant has stated that the facility is internal to the stadium property, only in operation during spring training and organized events, not open to the public, solely meant for player development, and replaces existing facilities. While staff agrees that this facility alone does not necessitate additional parking, the stadium has expressed a need for more parking spaces.  Stadium changes and grass parking – In 1998, the stadium proposed a site plan amendment to allow for a reduction in the required stadium parking from 3,000 spaces to 2,020 spaces (see Attachment F). As part of the amendment, the stadium agreed to build 300 grass parking spaces on site; however, the spaces were never installed. Over the years, one of the areas approved for grass parking was improved with an additional practice field; however, two areas remain on site that could be developed as grass parking (see Attachment E) to meet the original intent. In the recent past, staff has recommended the development of the grass parking in the remaining areas on the stadium property which could be established with minimal additional cost. To date, the applicant has not been willing to make any improvements for additional grass parking to alleviate the parking concerns they express.  Applicant’s request – The applicant has requested that the Town defer discussions related to additional parking on the stadium property until a later date. The Applicant has made representations to staff in various pre-application meetings that the stadium is planning a larger project to refresh and upgrade the entire stadium property in the future. While a significant redevelopment may be a more appropriate time to discuss parking as it may come with an increased demand, there is no guarantee if or when future changes will occur on the property and the applicant has already expressed a need for additional parking to serve the stadium.

Signage. The proposed project is in general conformance with Section 27-1237 and 27-1186(a) of the Town code related to the size of the signage being harmonious with the architecture and scale of the proposed building, but is not in conformance with the number of signs permitted throughout the rest of the Town. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium has an approved signage program that the applicant is proposing to amend as part of this application. Roger Dean Stadium - Site Plan for Covered Batting Tunnels Staff Report (PZ 19-3695) Page 5

 Sign Program - In 1997, Roger Dean Stadium received approval for a signage program from the Town Council. The signage program outlined the number and type of signs and their respective sizes. Over the years, Roger Dean has requested changes to the approved signage program to rebrand adding “Chevrolet” to the name, modifying sizes of signs, and adding score boards for the practice fields.  Applicant’s request – The applicant is requesting four, 32 square foot façade signs on the proposed building. Section 27-1237(c), allows informational signage associated with stadiums and their associated fields, but it does not set a limitation as to the permitted number of signs or size limitations. Instead of adopting new sign regulations to meet the needs of the stadium, the stadium signage has been addressed as part of the approved sign program which the applicant is requesting to be amended as part of this application. Section 27-1186(a) outlines that the purpose of the sign regulations in Abacoa is to encourage that signs are integrated and harmonious with the architecture and environment of the site they occupy. The proposed signs are in scale and harmonious with the spring training facility and proposed building; however, the number of signs requested exceeds what is allowed for other developments throughout the Town. In general, the Town’s various sign codes allow two tenant signs per building to allow for a reasonable amount of signage without creating sign pollution. In order to be consistent with the purpose and intent of signage for the stadium property and allow the applicant to have signage similar to what other users are allowed within the Town, staff has recommended a condition of approval for the applicant to reduce the number of signs on the proposed building to two signs.

Architecture. The proposed building is generally in conformance with Chapter 27, Article XI, Division 5, entitled “Architectural and Community Appearance Standards”. The property contains other accessory buildings in the practice field area which are constructed with corrugated metal similar to the proposed building. As a result, the proposed building is compatible with the surrounding buildings on the stadium property as required by code.

Traffic. The applicant has stated that the proposed building will not generate any additional traffic because the batting cages are an existing part of the stadium and the addition of the enclosure does not increase the intensity of the overall use from a traffic perspective (see Attachment C - Traffic Impact Statement). The Town’s traffic engineer has reviewed the applicant’s traffic impact statement and concurs that no additional traffic is created by the project.

Stormwater. The project adds impervious area to the property. Staff is recommending a condition of approval that prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall provide an engineer’s signed and sealed statement including the total amount of impervious area being added to the property.

Site plan criteria. Town Code, Section 27-175, contains minimum criteria for review of all development application processed. Upon review of the 12 criteria in Section 27-175, staff finds that the Owner has satisfied 11 of the 12 criteria. The criterion that is not satisfied is:

3. Is the application consistent with all applicable land development regulations and all other portions of the Jupiter Town Code. Staff comment: The conditions of approval as recommended by staff address the proposed application’s inconsistencies with Town code as noted below.

 Section 23-70, with regards to foundation planting;  Section 23-96, with regards to amount of native plant materials on site; and,  Section 27-1231, with regards to amount of signs generally allowed.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium St. Louis Cardinals Batting Tunnels Site Plan Amendment Statement of Use January 14, 2019

Request/Location: Gentile Glas Holloway O’Mahoney & Associates, Inc., as agent for the Owner (Palm Beach County) and Applicant (Jupiter Stadium Limited), is requesting approval of a site plan amendment to construct a 9,360 sf covered batting tunnel building in place of an existing outdoor batting cage, including reconfiguration of adjacent pitching mounds and other ancillary site improvements adjacent to the proposed structure, including minor signage additions to the approved sign program at the existing Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. The site is situated on ±90 acres, and is located on Main Street, between the intersection of Avenue A and University Boulevard, in Abacoa.

Background: Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is currently being used as the spring training home facility for the Florida Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. As previously stated, the project is ±90 acres in size and was originally designed and constructed in 1997. The existing facility was approved for a total seating capacity of 7,657 seats along with two (2) major league clubhouses, two (2) batters cages, two (2) observation towers, one (1) maintenance building, various restrooms, ticket counter, concession areas, and a team store, in addition to operational support space.

Use Description Capacity Club House No. 1 32,350 sq. ft. Club House No. 2 31,310 sq. ft. Batting Cages (2 Each) 18,000 sq. ft. Observation Tower (2 Each) 1,800 sq. ft. Stadium 7,657 seats Terrace Seating 122 seats Storage Building 925 sq. ft.

Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning Districts: Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is located in the master planned community of Abacoa. Within Abacoa, there are 20 residential neighborhoods, over 20 commercial districts, two college campuses, two science research and development campuses, two public schools, a spring training stadium, a public golf course, a Main Street-style Town Center, hotel, shopping plaza, and a Workplace District.

The existing stadium functions as a recreation site and major public attraction for Abacoa, the Town of Jupiter and Palm Beach County at large. The minor site plan modification will remain consistent with the existing stadium and surrounding area, as it entails only the introduction of an accessory

St. Louis Cardinals Batting Tunnels Site Plan Amendment January 14, 2019 Page 2 of 6

structure/use located approximately 500 feet from the nearest perimeter boundary of the site. Further, the applicant intends to coordinate with the Abacoa POA for their review and understanding in the spirit of cooperation and being a good neighbor prior to the application proceeding to the Town Council for its consideration.

Proposed Modifications/Justification: The proposed site improvements include the construction of a 9,360.00 SF covered batting tunnel structure, in addition to minor site/sidewalk modifications, which will improve upon the existing facilities at the complex. As the requested improvements: 1) are internal to the existing Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, 2) will only be operational during the spring training season and organized events at other times of the year,3) will not be open to the general public, 4) are solely meant for player development, and 5) replace existing facilities of an equivalent function and purpose; all improvements are ancillary to the existing complex. Due to the fact that the proposed structure exceeds the 2,000 square foot threshold of Sec. 27-259(4)c.1.(ii) of Town Code, the proposed modification is not eligible for administrative review as a minor amendment, and review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council is therefore required.

The batting tunnel component of the proposed structure will be pre-engineered metal construction that will provide weather protection for three pitching mounds and batting tunnels. Enclosure of this portion of the structure is achieved by chain link fencing on three sides for adequate ventilation, visibility and communication capabilities. There will be a fully enclosed video coaching room within the structure to north of and immediately adjacent to the batting tunnels, as well as two restrooms and a storage room with a beverage filling station. Further detail is provided by the accompanying architectural drawings.

It is the intent of the applicant to introduce the above mentioned programmatic elements to increase the capacity and ability for player development, which will lead to player competition at a higher level, and in turn is hoped to lead to greater team success and a capacity spring training crowd for each game at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. The structure and programming are consistent with improvements being initially constructed or later introduced at MLB spring training complexes throughout the country, including the recently constructed FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, which features a similar batting tunnel structure and training infrastructure for each home team. This improvement is seen as being imperative to remaining competitive within the league and the facility attractive to players, patrons and event organizers, and is the first of many planned improvements that would be likely to follow in the event that the teams are retained at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium as their spring training home.

Traffic and Parking: The existing stadium provides 454 on-site parking spaces, with contractual arrangement for additional demand being fulfilled in the adjacent Town Center. As previously explained herein, the proposed improvements will not be open for general public use, replace existing improvements of an equivalent nature and are accessory to the current operational elements of the spring training facility. As a result, there is no increase in parking demand created by this application and therefore no need for any additional parking spaces as a direct result of the proposed improvements (i.e. no additional seating or fan/spectator capacity). Further, this modification will not generate any increase in traffic, as demonstrated by the accompanying professionally prepared traffic statement.

St. Louis Cardinals Batting Tunnels Site Plan Amendment January 14, 2019 Page 3 of 6

Drainage: The subject improvements to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium will result in a net increase of approximately 13,000 sf of impervious area. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium lies within the Abacoa Water Management Plan 9A previously permitted under SFWMD ERP No. 50-03651-P, which was issued June 13, 1996.

Although there is a slight increase in impervious area above the standard general permit, the original SFWMD ERP permit No. 50-03651-P establishes the allowable impervious surface as 40% of the drainage area, and as such, the above improvements will result in no significant impacts to the historical drainage patterns and falls within the Basin 2 of the master ERP permit. A minor modification will be required to the existing ERP permit and will be obtained prior to any commitment of any on-site construction activity. Reference the accompanying professionally prepared drainage statement as further reinforcement.

Landscaping: The landscaping impact of the proposed improvements will be minor and remain consistent with the existing facility. There are five (5) sabal palms and one (1) Ligustrum that will be affected by the proposed utilities and/or paved surfaces, all of which will be relocated in close proximity as demonstrated by the accompanying landscape plan. Also, the required foundation planting area for the proposed structure will be located along the entire south façade due to its orientation, design, line of sight and so as not to obstruct natural ventilation and/or light at designed building openings along the remaining facades. While the minimum length of the planting cannot be met on account of the foregoing, the applicant will continue to provide the minimum required amount of shrubs and groundcover. All new proposed plant material will be native.

Signage: As previously mentioned, the Applicant is also proposing to add signage to the approved sign plan for the Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, reflecting the St. Louis Cardinals logo to the proposed facility.

Elevations have been provided that show signs on all sides of the proposed structure. The East and West elevation will feature the Cardinals logo, while the North and South elevation is will feature the alternative logo which are the initials for St. Louis (SL). The proposed sign area of the proposed signs have been indicated on the proposed plan, and are within Town of Jupiter zoning code requirements.

Below is a list of signage that is approved at the stadium:

a. The applicant shall be permitted the following signage: 1) 4- directional and informational signage (Sign type A1 for ticket prices), with a maximum sign copy area of 5.4 square feet, and a maximum height of 6.0'. 2) 14- directional and informational signs (Sign type D2 for specific locations), with a maximum sign copy area of 9.0 square feet, and a maximum height of 6.0'. 3) 2- individual tenant signs (Sign type X1 stating “Tickets”), with a maximum sign copy area of 3.7 square feet, and a maximum height of 10.0'. 4) 1- individual tenant signs (Sign type X1 stating “Official Teamstore”), with a maximum sign copy area of 17.0 square feet, and a maximum height of 10.0'.

SUBJECT: Stadium/ Abacoa Town Center Parking Roundtable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Town Council has a strategic initiative to develop an overall parking strategy and management plan in Abacoa for the baseball and entertainment areas that addresses seasonal impacts, spring training, and visiting tournaments (see Attachment D). This memo discusses the layout of Abacoa Town Center and how the parking spaces for baseball and the uses of Abacoa Town Center are distributed and used in relation to that initiative.

Abacoa Town Center Boundary

Abacoa Town Center is a subdistrict of Abacoa and generally located north of the Florida Atlantic University campus, west of Central Boulevard, south and west of Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and east of Parkside Drive (see Attachment A). The Abacoa Town Center is broken up into phases:  Phase I - Downtown Abacoa (f.k.a. Abacoa Town Center);  Phase II - Marriott Courtyard, G4S and vacant land;  Phase III and IV - Antigua; and,  Phase V - Allure and vacant land (see Attachment B).

Attached is also the approved Abacoa Town Center Subdistrict plan which breaks down the boundaries of the subdistrict, the use allocation and the required parking for baseball based on phases (see Attachment C).

Parking Agreements

During the approval of Abacoa Town Center it was determined that instead of having one large parking lot or garage for stadium use, the parking for the stadium would be provided distributed throughout the Abacoa Town Center in a shared arrangement. This was important to provide for a walkable development environment consistent with the vision set for Abacoa. Palm Beach County (PBC); Jupiter Stadium, LTD (the Teams); and Abacoa Development Company originally, later also including North County Land Holdings and now only Aries Land Acquisition, LLC (the Developer), entered into a parking agreement to establish how many spaces baseball would needed and how they would be converted from the initial grass parking areas on the future development sites of Phases III, IV and V within the Town Center Subdistrict, and easements were granted. Those agreements and easements have been modified over the years. For example in 1996, when the agreements were first executed 3,000 parking spaces were required to be provided. In 1998, this number was reduced to 2,020 spaces without charge (free) on event days in the Town Center, recognizing 300 additional spaces were to be constructed on the Stadium property. In addition, 600 spaces were originally to be built on the stadium site for the teams; however, this was reduced to approximately 450± at their request. Staff has attached a list of the agreements and a summary of what each agreement generally requires (see Attachment E). A copy of each of the agreements may be found at the following web site: http://www.jupiter.fl.us/616/Abacoa.

The Town of Jupiter is not a party to these agreements. However, in 1998, the then Town Manager, Lee Evett, indicated that the Town Council had directed him to provide a letter to Jupiter Stadium, Ltd. confirming that the total combined parking demand for Town Center and the Facility (stadium) will be calculated in accordance with the conditions of the Parking Agreements between the various parties (see Attachment F). The letter also notes that the Town recognizes that the parties involved were relying on the Town’s response for purposes of exercising the obligations of the Parking Agreement; however, the letter notes that the failure of the Town Council to authorize parking in accordance with the specific or particular assumptions and parking requirements contained in the agreements would not create any legal basis to hold the Town liable, since the Town is not a party to the agreement.

Staff notes that in the Parking Agreement adopted in 1998 (ORB 10263; Pg 1759), walking times were analyzed to ensure the stadium spaces were all within a reasonable walking distance from the stadium. Staff notes that with the 2013 approval of the Town Center Subdistrict site plan amendment (associated with the Allure project), parking provided for baseball was moved from Phase V to Phase II. This resulted in an additional 629 spaces being moved to Phase II (the location of the four story parking garage). Staff notes that relocation of spaces is reasonably equivalent or closer to the stadium than where approved previously when they were located in Phase V. In addition, staff notes for walking distance purposes, the 500 spaces at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) count as if they are in Phase II (ORB 11485; Pg 871).

Parking Space in Abacoa Town Center

In Town Center, the parking for the stadium is required above and beyond the minimum parking required for all of the residential and commercial based on a shared parking calculation established in the 1998 Parking Agreement. Stadium parking is intermingled with the parking for the uses within Abacoa Town Center. According to the current parking agreement, the developer is to maintain 2,020 parking spaces in the Abacoa Town Center area for baseball. A breakdown of the overall number and the type of spaces in the Abacoa Town Center is provided in Attachment G.

Stadium Parking Supply vs. Demand Study (Brooks Study)

The “Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium – Stadium Parking Supply vs. Demand Study” (see Attachment H) was completed in May 2018 by Robert D. Brooks, PE. The study prepared by Baseball looks at parking in Abacoa Town Center and the spaces that are available for baseball. The Town of Jupiter was not involved in the completion of the study.

An average auto occupancy ratio of 3.0 person/vehicle to determine parking was established in the 1998 agreement and still exists in the current agreement). The study notes that a March 2018 vehicle occupancy count, estimated a vehicular occupancy ratio of 2.4 persons/vehicle. The report indicates that a lower vehicle occupancy ratio of 2.4 persons per vehicle results in a 20% higher parking demand than the 3.0 vehicle occupancy ratio. Based on their study, the 2,020 standing parking space obligation of today’s Parking Agreement would translate into a demand equivalent to approximately 2,500 spaces.

The study only recognizes the parking available within some of the eligible areas established in the current parking agreement. It does not include parking available in Phase V – Allure or on street parking. The study also does not take in account other alternatives, such as people who take ride sharing (Lyft and Uber) and people who live in and around Abacoa that walk or bike, nor does if acknowledge parking made available by the Town at Abacoa Community Park.

The study presumes the development of the existing grass parking lots. While CineBowl is approved, Town staff has received no final development plans or clear indication that development will be moving forward. As for the two other lots, Town Staff has received no inquiries and has no indication of when those lots will be proposed for development.

The study also presumes that with the development of the grass lots, no parking will be provided within those developments for use by baseball. While the Town would agree that if/when those lots are developed, there may be a loss of parking, to presume a 100% decrease of available parking seems unrealistic.

Town Analysis of Parking.

Town staff performed a survey of parking at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium during key games in 2018. Staff observed and inventoried of each of the parking area and estimated the number of parking spaces that where empty (see Attachment K and L). Staff notes that during the five games surveyed there was approximately 466 to 1,322 empty parking spaces during these five games. Staff has also included attendance for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons for reference purposes (see Attachment M). On average the attendance was 5,857 in 2016; 4,477 in 2017; and 4,645 in 2018.

Parking Management Plan.

The 1999 First Amendment to the Parking Agreement required the adoption of a Parking Control Plan (ORB 11486; Pg 870). During the review of the Allure project in Phase V that was proposed on a portion of the parking field used by the stadium, it was noted that this plan needed to be developed. On February 4, 2014, the Town Council approved a parking management plan for parking in Abacoa Town Center (see Attachment I). Attached is a copy of that plan (see Attachment J).

The Parking management plan is divided into two main sections; “Available Parking Facilities” and “Parking Management Measures”. Specifically, the Parking Management Plan identified the location of parking throughout the Abacoa Town Center and addressed how visitors will be directed to these available parking spaces.

Some of the key elements of the program are providing personnel to monitor the parking conditions and to manage the temporary signage. In addition, the plan requires implementation of a color designation program and signage throughout Abacoa Town Center to help visitors locate parking spaces. The locations of the colors designation program are graphically illustrated in Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 within the Parking Management Plan.

The Parking Management Plan also allows Spring Training season ticket holders the option of purchasing a parking pass with their season ticket purchase. Any remaining passes are then offered for advance purchase by general admission patrons on a first come, first served basis. The holders of a parking pass are allowed to utilize one of the parking spaces within the Phase II garage.

The Parking Management Plan also indicates (Pages 5, 8 and 14) that the Town of Jupiter, through its Police Department will participate in the funding of Police Service Aides (PSAs) or police officers for parking enforcement to supplement any such services that are utilized by the Abacoa Property Owner’s Assembly, Inc. or other authority. The report indicates that the officers will enforce the time and residency restrictions on spring training event days and periodically the rest of the year.

Municipal Funding Towards Stadiums

Staff reviewed the 12 other Spring Training Facilities in the State of Florida to review funding sources for construction or renovations of the facilities. Of the 12 stadium facilities, six had assistance from local municipality with funding. This assistance was either through funds or through exchange of land (West Palm Beach/Palm Beach County). The funds ranged from $2.4 million (City of Lakeland) to $7.5 million for stadium improvements by the City of Bradenton (see Attachment Q).

Findings and Conclusions.

Below are some noted issues and items in association with parking for baseball at the Town Center:  375 parking spaces exist at the Abacoa Community Park that are not included in Spring Training parking calculations. These parking spaces may also be used for overflow parking and are above the 2,020 parking spaces required to be provided for stadium use. This parking is not included in parking calculation; however, the parking area is used by employees and visitors to the stadium during game days. 3  Shared parking spaces in the surface lots in Phase V (Allure) are not well utilized during the spring training games. Most of the emphasis is made to direct visitors to the lots where parking fees are collected. No signage exist directing visitors to these parking spaces and because these spaces have a feel as if they are private and are not available for use by the public during game day they seldom get used. See Attachment N for location of parking spaces on the Allure property that may be used by stadium visitors on game day.  Alternative means of transportation to the stadium and around the Town Center could be reevaluated. This could include the use of shuttles, Uber and Lyft to allow for visitors to get to the stadium without using their car.  The Parking Management Plan indicates 90 parking spaces may be created by closing down one of the two southbound lanes of Central Boulevard and utilize the western lane as parking for a handful of peak capacity games. This road closure would need to be performed in coordination with Jupiter Police Department and the Palm Beach County Traffic Division. A cost-benefit analysis could be developed to compare the personnel costs to the construction and maintenance of a garage structure.  In order to allow for the reduction of parking required in Town Center as part of the parking agreements agreed to by PBC, the Teams and the Developer in 1998, 300 parking spaces were to be constructed on the stadium property (see Attachment P). These spaces were never constructed and later some portions of the parking agreement were amended to delete references to this requirement, which contributes less parking being available as requested by the Teams and PBC. While one of the areas designated was developed for other stadium uses, most of the designated area could still be improved to increase the available parking requested by the Teams and PBC. Another area between the practice fields and Central Boulevard that is routinely used for convenient parking during tournaments could be improved and secured to be used during peak game days. It is estimated that if this area were to be improved, it could accommodate up to 171 parking spaces (see Attachment R).  Based on the 2015 amendment, residential parking that is reserved will no longer be allowed to be counted in meeting the shared parking agreements; however, a method to implement this change was not specified. This was implemented after the last residential project was approved in 2013 (Allure). This is a change that has been incorporated into the Parking Agreements in 2015 (ORB 27289; Pg 1256 [see page 3]). Staff notes that in Phase I (Downtown Abacoa) 413 parking spaces are reserved for residents. In Phase V (Allure), a total of 161 parking spaces are reserved (94 spaces in individual garage spaces and 67 surface spaces). In Phase V, the Townhouse garage spaces were not included in the shared parking calculation.  Other revenue sources for the stadium have been created over the years, including the addition of cellular antennas at the stadium (ORB. 10263; Pg. 1748) and charging for 531 parking spaces in the Phase II garage.

Summary.

Applicant's request. The applicant is requesting a modification to the stadium facility site plan to add approximately 300 parking spaces adjacent to the two on site paved parking areas and to reduce the number of off-site parking spaces required within the Town Center subdistrict.

On February 3, 1998, the Town Council voted unanimously to direct the Town Manager to sign and transmit a letter to Jupiter Stadium Ltd. indicating that the revised documents approved by Abacoa Development Company, North County Land Holdings, Ltd., Jupiter Stadium, Ltd. and Staff Recommendation Roger Dean Stadium Site Plan Amendment Page 3

Palm Beach County would constitute satisfaction of their requirements of Condition #152 of the Abacoa Development Order, which states the following:

The r_equired parking areas for the stadium should be provided within the adjacent areas, pursuant to a shared facilities agreement executed between the parties and approved by the Town pursuant to a traffic flow and parking distribution plan submitted within 180 days of issuance of a building permit for the stadium.

The revised agreements (attached) provide for the following, as it relates to the stadium approval: 1) a reduction of the number of required off-site parking spaces adjacent to the Town Center subdistrict from 3,000 to 2,020, as noted on Exhibit 1; 2) an increase of the required on site spaces from 400 paved spaces to also include 300 additional grass spaces; 3) the use of all the on site spaces for valet parking; 4) to permit during the period of spring training, cars to be double parked within the on site parking areas; and, 5) to allow JSL, in it's sole discretion, determine the amount of any charge for on site parking.

Analysis.

The Department of Community Development has reviewed the application and notes the following:

Parking. The applicant proposes in the future to share the use of parking spaces with the adjacent proposed Town Center uses. The Code of the Town of Jupiter, Chapter 27, Article X, Division 11, entitled "Off-Street Parking", allows shared parking facilities for land uses provided that a shared facilities agreement has been executed between the parties in accordance with the Town of Jupiter Code, Chapter 27, Article X, Division 11.

In summary, the revised agreement provides the following:

a) Combined/shared parking for the Town Center uses and stadium facility. b) Requires 3,905 parking spaces to accommodate parking for the adjacent Town Center in addition to 2,020 spaces for the stadium facility for a total of 5,925 spaces at peak hour demand. c) Provides that when changes in required parking for the Town Center are necessitated by a deviation between the actual buildout and assumptions included in the Town Center Parking Requirement, those change are to be made in a fashion which applies to the then current Town of Jupiter parking code, together with methodology contained in the Urban Land lnstitute's publication Shared Parking, as it may be amended in the future, and adjustments for local conditions.

As part of the revision, the applicant has requested that valet parking be permitted within the on- Staff Recommendation Roger Dean Stadium Site Plan Amendment Page 4

site parking areas and that double parking be permitted. Staff would note that double parking has not been proposed on the site plan submitted in order to accommodate the 300 spaces; however, the standard minimum parking space dimensions have not been provided within the on site grass parking area. The typical space is pJoposed as 9' x 17' versus the 9' x 19' standard. Staff is satisfied with the reduced size since the area will be operated as a valet parking area.

Traffic. The applicant has provided a revised shared parking demand study for the Town Center and facility parking requirement schedule for the stadium site specific traffic analysis for the proposed facility (copy is attached). The Town's traffic consultant has reviewed the study and finds it acceptable.

Palm Beach County Fire Department review. PBC Fire Rescue has not required any special conditions since the grassed parking is in close proximity of to other paved access areas.
