mixed use policies and regulations,the applicant is proposing to rezone the entire area to PDMXD,a mixed use planned development zoning district. Based on Objective 5 of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element, the developer is required to go through the Planned Development (PD) rezoning process to secure approval for the proposed mixed use project. The PD Zoning District Generally In the past, the county has reviewed and approved PD rezonings involving both residential, non- residential,and TND(Traditional Neighborhood Design)projects.Those include: Wal-Mart/Sams, Hedin Commercial, Magi Mini Storage, Randall Mini Storage, Ansley Park, Arbor Trace, Old Orchid Groves, Pointe West, Liberty Park, and Providence Pointe. The PD mixed use district concept is similar to the PD Traditional Neighborhood Design (PDTND), but smaller in scale and with fewer design criteria. Unlike standard zoning districts, PD districts have no specific lot size or dimensional criteria. Instead, the PD district is based on the underlying land use plan designation for density, use, and compatibility. Sites located on less than 40 acres in areas designated L-1,L-2,M-1,and M-2 maybe considered for PDMXD rezoning if located along SR60, US 1, Indian River Blvd., 58th Avenue, CR510(west of Indian River Lagoon),CR510,or Oslo Road. Additionally,mixed use PDs may be approved on sites designated M-1 and M-2 if such sites are adjacent to C/I nodes,which is the case for the subject Gifford site. In a PD zoning district,setbacks and other typical zoning district criteria are established on a site-by-site basis through approval of a conceptual PD plan that is adopted as part of the PD rezoning ordinance.The conceptual PD plan,which in this case includes a mixed use design, serves as the zoning standard for the site. A PD rezoning requires the submission of a binding conceptual PD plan that,along with certain PD district requirements,limits uses and sets forth specific development standards for each project site. Thus,a PD rezoning allows a unique PD district that is consistent with the site's underlying land use designation(s) and applicable land use policies to be developed for each project site. In this case, the conceptual PD plan proposes at least 27 multi-family residential units (maximum allowed 33 units) and an 8,320 sq. ft. Family Dollar retail store on the mixed use project site. Aspects of the proposed conceptual PD plan,including satisfaction of Objective 5 mixed use policies and criteria, are addressed in the "plan analysis" section of this report. The PD Rezoning Process The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: STEP 1. Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan Approval:Review and recommendation made by staff and by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Final action taken by the Board of County Commissioners. STEP 2. Preliminary PD Plan/Plat(combination of site plan and preliminary plat)Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Must comply with the approved conceptual PD plan and any conditions imposed by the Board at the time of PD zoning approval (Step 1).
