22. Public Benefits: For all PD projects, applicants must identify the public benefits that the project will provide in exchange for the County approving requested waivers. For Sunnyside Up, the public benefits are as follows: Culvert and Landscape 26"' Street Canal Area: The applicant desires and proposes to culvert the Indian River Farms Water Control District canal located on the south side of 26`x' Street in order to utilize the canal right-of-way as buffer and setback area. Culverting will provide an aesthetic public benefit, giving the area a more finished appearance. In addition, it will improve traffic safety along this segment of 26`x' Street. If the canal is not culverted, the project will need to be re -designed, prior to PZC consideration, to provide the burfer and setback on the applicant's property. - Integration with the Mall: Earlier in development of the conceptual plan, the applicant coordinated with staff and representative from the Indian River Mall. The applicant proposes to integrate the development with the Indian River Mall using pedestrian and vehicular connections. These connections will be available to the public as well as residents, and will benefit the public by reducing traffic on public streets such as 26`x' Street, 66`x' Avenue, and 58`x' Avenue, and by providing alternative public access to the Mall. Infill near Major Commercial Center: The project will provide residential and mixed use infill development near a major activity center. This benefits the public by reducing sprawl and efficiently using land by locating a medium density mixed use development where there is already a significant amount of existing infrastructure resources. - Publically Accessible Amenities: The amenities within the Town Center will be available to the public. These include public squares and greens.
