ORDINANCE NO. 2003- 043 commission shall recommend variances to the board of county commissioners for final action. (b) The planning and zoning commission is authorized to propose settlements of claims under Chapter 70, Florida Statutes, through any means set out in section 70.001(4)(c). (c) Criteria. The planning and zoning commission shall not approve a variance or other proposal for relief unless it finds the following: The corridor regulation directly restricts or limits the use of real property such that the property owner is permanently unable to attain a reasonable, investment -backed expectation for the existing use of the real property or a vested right to a specific use of the real property with respect to the real property as a whole; or That the property owner is left with existing or vested uses that are unreasonable such that the property owner bears permanently a disproportionate share of a burden imposed for the good of the public, which in fairness should be borne by the public at large; and The relief granted protects the public interest served by the regulations at issue and is the appropriate relief necessary to prevent the corridor regulations from inordinately burdening the real property.

General criteria. Besides defining the community's low density, low rise character, building heights should relate to open spaces to allow sufficient light and ventilation, effective use of prevailing winds for cooling, enhancement of views and minimizing the obstruction of views to adjoining structures and other locations. Buildings should be designed to lessen the appearance of excessive bulk. Ostentatious or overly -prominent building shapes that are out of harmony in context with their visual environment, including adjacent structures and the landscaped framework, are discouraged. The surfaces of enclosing walls of large-scale commercial structures should incorporate elements relating to the scale of pedestrian movement and view. Vertical enclosing walls should be sub -divided into clearly visible bays, each a minimum of sixty (60) feet in width. The use of the following devices for establishing scale is encouraged: Code: All text is new wording in a newly create code section 911.21.
