provided to document consistency with the corridor criteria (see attachment 8). In addition to the corridor criteria, all buildings within the project have been designed to share common architectural elements, including decorative cornices on all parapet walls and pilasters, lap siding on certain accent walls, split -faced CMU block at the base of all buildings, and common colors. The final architectural elevations for all buildings must be reviewed and approved by Planning staff prior to PD plan release. 20. Planned Development Waivers: Through the PD process, the applicant can request a variety of design -based waivers from the LDRs. In this case, the applicant is not requesting any design waivers, but is going through the PD process in order to allow two additional uses by right (tire shop and fast food restaurant with drive through facility), and to commit to certain design parameters and public benefits provided by the project. 21. Public Benefits: For all PD projects, applicants must identify the public benefits that the project will provide in exchange for requested waivers or incentives being sought by the applicant. For this project, staff recognizes that the requested zoning waivers are modest in scope. For the proposed project, the public benefits proposed are as follows: • Enhanced Tree Preservation: The applicant has designed the project around an existing 42" live oak tree, and is proposing to relocate 7 mature canopy trees and approximately 50 existing cabbage palm trees on site. This proposal exceeds the minimum tree protection requirements identified in the LDRs, and will provide an enhanced buffer along the south property boundary with mature canopy trees at time of planting. • Westbound Left -Turn Lane at SR 60 and 53'd Avenue: The applicant is proposing to lengthen the westbound left -turn lane by an extra 50' over -and -above the length identified and recommended in the project's traffic impact analysis. • Eastbound Left -Turn Lane at the existing SR 60 median opening: The applicant is proposing to lengthen the eastbound left -turn lane which will accommodate additional vehicle queue length for an eastbound to westbound U-turn movement on SR 60, and provide a benefit for westbound traffic leaving the project's SR 60 driveway and for the general public. All conditions recommended by staff have been accepted by the applicant. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Planned Development (PD) rezoning and the conceptual PD plan, with the following conditions: 1. Prior to PD plan release, the applicant shall: a. Obtain Planning staff approval of the final architectural elevations for all proposed structures. b. Dedicate to FDOT the required right-of-way for the SR 60 right -turn lane at the project entrance on SR 60. c. Submit a copy of the recorded easement agreement with Walmart.
