McCo VIK Staff Planne EXCEPTION T ELDERLY REQUEST FOR SPECIAL APPROVAL REFERENCES: palm coast JOHN It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 5, 1988. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION: Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for special exception approval for a residential center, along - with a conceptual site plan. Because the property is zoned RM -6 - (maximum 6 units per acre) and the project proposes 8 "units" per acre, the applicant is pursuing approval of the project as a "residential center". Residential centers are treated differently from normal multi -family .projects in that a density "bonus" is available based on persons per acre. Residential center units are considered less intense than normal multi -family units. Thus, the zoning code measures the land use intensity of residential centers by persons per acre instead of the usual units per acre density measure. Since the property is zoned RM -6, special exception approval is required for the residential center use. Special exception uses are those types of uses _that would not generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district. However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as to number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, such uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, comfort, good order, appearance, convenience; and general welfare and, as such, would be compatible with permitted uses within the particular zoning district. Special exceptions require submittal of an approvable final or conceptual site plan meeting all appli- cable site plan criteria, zoning district criteria and the crite- ria set forth in the regulations for the specific use. In con- sidering the request, it is the responsibility of the Board of County Commissioners to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. If the Board of County Commissioners grants the conceptual special exception approval, the applicant will need to submit a major site plan application which will need to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The subject property is located at 12.50 30th Street, approximately 630' east of U.S. Highway #1 on the north side of 30th Street. As reflected in the attached minutes, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this application at their June 9, 1988 meeting. Pursuant to Section 25.3 of the Zoning Code, Regulation of Special Exception Uses, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted conceptual site plan and the suitability of the site for that use.
