BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION: On October 25, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners issued a development order (D.O.) for the Grand Harbor development of regional impact (D.R.I.) project. The D.O. included an extensive list of conditions that will control many aspects of the develop- ment as well as the timing and construction of infrastructure improvements needed to serve the project. The D.O., which is in effect for 20 years, is the controlling document in regards to all development plans within the project. The D.O. may be amended by the County, pursuant to review by the State and regional planning council and state regulations governing D.R.I.'s. The entire project, located north of 45th Street and south of 53rd Street and the North Relief Canal between U.S. #1 and the Indian River, will consist of a. commercial marina/hotel "Harbor Center" area, an office park, a shopping center, and a large residential area consisting of residential units, a golf course, golf and tennis club, and an estuarine/wetlands area. The owner/applicant, Grand Harbor, Inc., is now requesting approval of three items: 1. the Estuarine Plan, as required in condition #8 of the D.O.; 2. an Amendment to D.O. condition #8, to allow a mitigation proposal that is part of the Estuarine Plan; and 3. -the Conceptual PRD Plan, which covers the residential portion of the project, including the estuarine system area. ** At their regular meeting of September 25, 1986, the Planning and (see below) Zoning Commission unanimously approved these three items with conditions. The following report and staff recommendation describe and specify conditions of approval. CONCURRENT_ REVIEWS The proposed estuarine plan represents the major design modifi- cations made to the project in response to D.O. conditions and various environmental permitting agencies. In accordance with the D.O., the estuarine plan must be approved prior to conceptual PRD plan approval. Amendment of a D.O. standard is necessary if the estuarine plan is to be approved, to ensure conformance of the estuarine plan with the D.O. The proposed D.O. amendment would allow some encroachment of development into a previously non -exempted wetlands area in return for restoration and creation of other wetland areas.
