McCoy�o\ <br />Staff Planner, Current Development <br />DATE: June 24, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: FLORIDA BAPTIST FAMILY MINISTRIES' REQUEST FOR SPECIAL <br />EXCEPTION APPROVAL TO EXPAND AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL <br />CENTER <br />It is requested that the <br />consideration by the Board <br />meeting of -July 2, 1991. <br />data herein presented be given formal <br />of County Commissioners at its regular <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />-Carter and- Associates, Inc. has submitted a request for special <br />exception approval, on behalf of Florida Baptist Family Ministries, <br />to expand an existing residential center known as the Baptist <br />Retirement Home. The subject property is located in the <br />Buckinghammock Subdivis,4n at 1006 33rd Street. <br />This expansion involves the addition of 15 beds to the residential <br />center which would bring the total number of beds to 71. This <br />application involves only a portion of the Baptist Center project. <br />Previous-ly, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted site plan <br />approval to construct 15 duplexes on the overall project site. <br />The subject property is zoned RM -6, which permits up to 6 units per <br />acre; however the subject property's land use designation is L-1 <br />which only permits up to 3 units per acre. When there is a <br />conflict between the zoning and land use designation, the land use <br />designation governs. The staff has applied a density of 3 units <br />per acre to the overall project site (which includes the recently <br />approved duplex units) and the residential center area of <br />development. The requested residential center expansion, in <br />conjunction with other development within the overall project site, <br />will constitute the maximum permitted land use intensity for the <br />overall site. No further expansion in the number of units, or beds <br />in any portion of the overall project could occur under the present <br />L-1 land use classification. [NOTE: for residential centers, land <br />use intensity is measured in "persons per acre", as opposed to <br />"units per acre".] Expansion of the existing residential center <br />use requires special exception approval. <br />Special exception uses are those types of uses that would not <br />generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district. <br />However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as to <br />number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, such <br />uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, comfort, <br />good order, appearance, convenience, morals and general welfare and <br />as such would be compatible with permitted uses within the <br />26 <br />
