P&Z member Sam Zimmerman asserted that there must be some reasonable incentives for it to make financial sense for a developer to purchase the TDR's. (Clerk's Note: Mr. Zimmerman exited the meeting at this time). Mike Gray, Vero Beach, acknowledged Mr Zimmerman's points, adding that the New Town concept must be economically viable to developers, and that having to buy TDR's would doom the plan to failure. Mr. Paladin presented his idea to create a mitigation bank for the TDR's. Director Keating continued his presentation, focusing on policies found in Objective 9. He outlined the following new policy requiring design guidelines for new residential Planned Developments (PD's). OBJECTIVE 9 Promote Aesthetic Development Through the implementation of land development regulations, Indian River County will have aesthetically pleasing buildings, signs, landscaping, parking areas, and roads. POLICY 9.14: To combat monotony in single-family residential developments, the County shall adopt development regulations requiring that applicants submit design guidelines for all new residential planned developments. Such guidelines shall be project - specific and require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to release of development plans for construction. PD design guidelines shall address all of the following criteria: • garage placement and scale; • variations in building placement; • frequency of use for a model within the same subdivision; • building materials (facade and roof); • building massing and architectural details that relate to articulation; • the project's appearance from adjacent public streets; • internal streetscape; • enforcement mechanisms; and • any additional requirements deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning Commission to limit residential monotony within the project. 6 April 19, 2010
