Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being
polite. Civility is stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires
a person to respect other people's opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common
ground for dialogue with others. It is being patient, graceful, and having a strong character. That's why we say
"Character Counts" in Town of Loxahatchee. Civility is practiced at all Town meetings.
Special Needs: In accordance with the provisions of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), persons in need of a
special accommodation to participate in this proceeding shall within three business days prior to any proceeding,
contact the Town Clerk’s Office, 155 F Road, Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, (561) 793-2418.
The Planning & Zoning Board meets on the 2nd or 3rd Thursday of each month subject to the filing

ITEM CONTENT
The Wawa/Chase/Aldi Site Plan was initially approved by Town Resolution
2018-83 and subsequently amended by Administrative Site Plan
Amendment SPA 20-02 (July 2, 2020), The currently approved tenant mix
is as follows: Wawa – 6,119 sq. ft.; Chase – Bank – 3,470 sq. ft.; and Aldi
Grocery – 21.730 sq. ft. Total project of 31,319 sq. ft. ASPA 2021-0506
proposes to revise the tenant mix as follows: Wawa – 6,119 sq. ft.;
Autozone – 7,381 sq. ft.; and Aldi – 21,730 sq. ft. Total project of 35,230
sq. ft.; an increase of 3,911 sq. ft.
Justification Statement
The revision is essentially replacement of the Chase Bank with Autozone
vehicle parts sales. The revision includes an increase of 3,911 sq. ft. of
commercial space and the addition of 2.79 acres to the current
Development Area. The increase in sq. ft. is within the overall maximum of

Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and the Groves Town
Center MLU/PUD. Autozone, an auto parts store is a permitted CL use.
The increase of commercial space requires an increase in the size of the
parcel in order to accommodate the Autozone tenant and meet land
development regulations.

H. Architecture (Discussion of Rural Vista Guidelines by
Applicant)
The Applicant has prepared the document entitled: “Wawa Chase and Aldi Groves
Town Center Statement of Compliance with Rural Vista Design Guidelines: October
9, 2018”. The document presents a review of the architectural features of each of the
three development components (i.e. Wawa, Chase, and Aldi buildings) as they relate
to the Rural Vista Guidelines. Each development is discussed in terms of the
following: Exteriors; roofs and roofing materials; windows; porches and entries; and
screening. The Applicant’s summary statement for each of the development
components follows:
1. Wawa Component
The single-story structure and design elements such as a gable porch entrance,
sloped metal roof extending over outdoor seating, planters at the seating area, rustic
materials and farm-style lighting fixtures reflect a rural style that is residential in
scale. In addition, an outdoor seating area serves as a pedestrian amenity.
2. Autozone Component
The proposed exterior elevations utilize the same materials and design on all
sides of the building. The single-story structure and design elements such as
split face concrete masonry with wood appearance at the base of the building,
wood-look post and railing at the entry, and standing seam metal roof with
mansard type roofline along the Southern Boulevard façade and portions of the
remaining facades reflect a rural style that is residential in nature.
3. Aldi Component
The single story structure and design elements such as cornice trim, wood-look posts
and railings at the shopping cart area, window shutters, and low canopies near the entry
help to maintain a residential scale.
I. Compatibility
An inventory of land uses adjacent to the subject property is presented in Section
B of this analysis. The adjacent properties to the north and east, both within the Groves
Town Center MLU/PUD, are assigned a Future Land Use designation of Multiple Land
Wawa/Autozone/ALDI at Groves Town Center 7
Site Plan Amendment Application ASPA 2021-0506
February 2022
Use (MLU) and a Zoning designation of Multiple Land Use Planned Unit Development
(MLU/PUD). Both adjacent properties are designated Commercial Low (CL) under the
MLU/PUD designation. A summary statement for each development component follows:
“B” Road is adjacent to the subject property on the west. The 21 acre parcel
following “B” Road is assigned a CL Future Land Use designation and a CL/PUD zoning
designation. Loxahatchee Groves Commons, a Publix-anchored shopping center has
been developed on the property.
Southern Boulevard followed by the C-51 Canal and the Village of Wellington are
adjacent to the subject property on the south. Southern Boulevard is currently being
improved to a 6-lane segment.
Compatible land uses are defined as those which are consistent with each other
in that they do not create or foster undesirable health, safety, or aesthetic effects arising
from direct association of dissimilar activities, including the impacts of intensity of use,
traffic, hours of operation, aesthetics, noise vibration, smoke, hazardous odors,
radiation, and other land use conditions.
The Site Plan indicates perimeter landscape buffers, including a berm, along
Southern Boulevard and “B” Road. Landscaping and buffers within the Groves Town
Center MLU/PUD will insure internal compatibility with abutting future commercial uses.
Proposed Wawa/Autozone/ALDI at Groves Town Center commercial uses will
contain open air parking lot lighting. A waiver to ULDC Section 50-030(D) (5) has been
approved to allow open air lighting to remain lit during the hours of 11:00 p.m. and dawn.
