10. Landscaping and Buffering: A conceptual landscape and buffer plan has been reviewed and r approved for the subject site. With respect to buffering,the plan depicts buffer types,locations, and the physical width and components of the buffers on all of the project's perimeters. In addition,the plan generally addresses interior landscape requirements such as lakeshore trees, street trees,parking lot landscaping,and common area landscaping. Detailed landscape plans will be reviewed and approved with each preliminary PD plan. Along most of the project's 58th Avenue frontage,a minimum 25' wide Type B buffer with a 6' opaque feature will be provided. The opaque feature will consist of a +3' high berm and landscaping. No continuous perimeter wall is proposed. At the north and south ends of the project's 58th Avenue frontage,near 49th Street and near 53`d Street,the 6' opaque feature will be discontinued next to the stormwater lake areas which will be landscaped. That landscaping arrangement will provide views of certain buildings located behind the landscaped lake areas. Along the project's 49th Street frontage, a minimum 25' wide Type B buffer without a 6' opaque feature will be provided. For a portion of the site's 49th Street frontage,there will be a parallel roadway, a retention pond, and golf course. Along most of the project's 53`d Street frontage, a minimum 25' wide Type B buffer with a 6' opaque feature will be provided. Since there is substantial existing native vegetation on site along the project's 53`d Street frontage, the 6' opaque feature will consist of existing and supplemental vegetation and minor berming where vegetation is not present. Along the project's west property line that runs contiguous with the USA boundary,a minimum 25' wide Type B buffer with a 6' opaque feature will be provided. In some places,that buffer will be 30' wide. Within the buffer, the 6' opaque feature will consist of preserved and supplemental (planted) vegetation. Along the portion of the project's west property line that lies outside the USA, a minimum 50' wide Type B buffer will be provided, as required, to buffer the project from active agricultural operations. Since portions of the project abut agriculturally designated property that lies outside the USA, the county's Caribbean Fruit Fly host plant restriction will apply, and a special notice will be required on all project final plats. In addition, the State of Florida recently adopted other general notice provisions(F.S.163.3163)when development is approved near agricultural areas. That statutorily required notice will also need to be on all project final plats. 11. Parking: The applicant has committed to providing the number of parking spaces required by the county's regulations for all proposed uses. Under those regulations,the applicant may,at a future date, prepare a shared parking study for the Market Place (commercial area) to justify lower rates. Such rates, if requested,will require Planning and Zoning Commission approval. Any such shared parking study will need to comply with LDR parking regulations section 954.08(2). Staff anticipates that there will be shared parking among the various Market Place uses and will encourage use of the parking study option during review of preliminary PD plans. 12. Traffic Circulation: The project will have access to 491h Street, 53`d Street,and 581h Avenue, (W with two access points to each of those three streets. Near the intersection of 53`d Street/58th Avenue,right in/right out driveways on 53`d Street and 58th Avenue will provide public access FACommunity Deve1opment\CurDev\BCC\2013 BCC\ProvidencePointereport.doc 10 536
