2. The residential resort minimum project area shall be increased <br />from 25 acres to 50 acres. <br />Justification: The concept of the residential resort use is <br />to develop a project having a size large enough to accommodate <br />on-site recreational amenities as well as extensive buffering. <br />Such amenities help to keep the resort vacationers on-site and <br />less dependent on development outside of the project area. By <br />keeping vacationers within the project site, fewer impacts <br />should occur off-site. <br />Implications: This restriction would decrease the number of <br />potential residential resort sites. However, parcels could be <br />assembled to satisfy the increased acreage requirement. A <br />practical result of increasing the minimum project area would <br />be to decrease the number of potential project sites. <br />3. No portion of a residential resort project area shall include <br />any portion of an existing or approved multi -family or single- <br />family residential project. <br />Justification: The intent of the residential resort use is to <br />develop a project that is compatible with conventional multi- <br />family development. Mixing permanent residents with <br />vacationers within the -- same project results in <br />incompatibilities. Projects designed for and inhabited by <br />permanent residents cannot achieve a proper neighborhood <br />character if vacationers are allowed to temporarily reside in <br />parts of the project. Allowing transitory residents within a <br />project's residential neighborhood would break -down the <br />character of the neighborhood. Therefore, to avoid use <br />incompatibilities, all portions of existing or approved <br />residential projects (e.g. Sea Oaks, Coralstone/Moon River) <br />should be kept separate from residential resort uses. <br />Implications: this restriction would prohibit establishment <br />of a residential resort in areas of existing RM6­6 zoned <br />projects such as Sea Oaks, Coralstone/Moon River and Grand <br />Harbor. Residential resort projects could be approved only on <br />vacant land that is not part of an approved residential <br />project area. <br />4. There are two basic alternatives for requiring residential <br />resort projects to be associated with commercially zoned <br />property. The two alternatives are as follows: <br />a. Require part of the overall .resort project to have <br />commercial zoning, by adding a restriction as follows: <br />- A minimum of 20% of a residential resort project <br />area shall consist of CL or CG commercial zoning. <br />b. Require the residential resort to be located adjacent to <br />commercial zoning, by adding a restriction as follows: <br />- A residential resort project shall be located <br />adjacent to a CL or CG commercial zoning. <br />Furthermore, the ratio of residential resort <br />project area to adjacent commercial zoning district <br />area shall not exceed 4:1. <br />&I <br />Boos 89 Pr r, F. 700, <br />
