1. Require residential resort projects to include CL or CG zoned property. 2. Delete any requirement relating to a minimum length of stay. These two changes have been made to the proposed ordinance (see attachment #2.). To summarize, the ordinance now proposed would make the following changes to existing residential resort LDRs: 1. Residential resort projects would be reviewed and approved as planned development (P.D.) projects. 2. The minimum residential resort project area would be increased from 25 acres to 50 acres. 3. No portion of a residential resort project would consist of a portion of an existing or approved multi -family or single- family residential project. 4. Residential resort projects would be required to include CL or CG zoned property. Within the project, the area of residentially zoned property to commercially zoned property could not exceed a ratio of 3:1. These provisions are contained in sections lA and 1B of the proposed ordinance. •Farmworker Housing At its August 23rd hearing, the Board directed staff to get input from larger agricultural operations within the county regarding the proposed farmworker housing LDRs. Also, the Board directed staff to research the water and wastewater treatment implications of locating "tenant dwellings" and "migrant housing facilities" outside of the Urban Service Area. It should be noted that "tenant dwellings" and "migrant housing facilities" are.. special use categories intended to apply only to farmworker housing developments located outside of the Urban Service Area, in areas designated as agricultural. In staff's opinion, the proposed LDRs offer agricultural -business owners an opportunity to develop farmworker housing outside of urban areas, close to the agricultural lands on which they work. Although such an opportunity may enable some affordable housing to be provided for farmworkers, it also warrants special regulation and review to ensure that such housing developments are compatible with the rural character of agriculturally designated areas. Farmworker housing developments located within the Urban Service Area would be treated the same as any other residential project in terms of approval process (site plan or subdivision) and density (based upon zoning). -Urban Service Area/Utilities Ramifications Planning staff has verified in discussions with Utility Services Director Terry Pinto that a utility franchise could be granted for a farmworker housing project located outside the Urban Service Area (Note: Sanitary Sewer sub -element Policy 6.1 and Potable Water sub -element Policy 6.1 allow for on-site water and wastewater treatment facilities for projects located outside of the Urban Service Area.) Mr. Pinto indicated that a franchise would be required for any system (package plant or septic) that would serve more than one building. The actual water and wastewater treatment facilities used would need to meet state standards. According to Assistant Environmental Health/HRS Director Glenn Schuessler, current state' standards allow on-site septic systems to serve 3 BOOK (99PAGE'�� SEP 7 199 J
