• The PD Rezoning Process The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: STEP 1 Rezoning and conceptual PD plan approval: review and recommendation made by staff and by the PZC. Final action taken by the Board. STEP 2 Preliminary PD plan (combination of site plan and preliminary plat) approval: review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the PZC, subject to the Board's action on the rezoning request. STEP 3 Land Development Permit or Permit Waiver: reviewed and issued by staff for construction of subdivision improvements (roads, utilities, drainage). STEP 4 Building Permit(s): reviewed and issued by staff for construction of buildings. STEP 5 Final PD Plat approval: review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Board. STEP 6 Certificate of Occupancy: issued by staff (after inspections) for use and occupancy of buildings. The applicant is pursuing STEPS 1 and 2 of the process. Once a PD conceptual plan is approved, only minor modifications to the conceptual plan may be approved at a staff level. Any changes proposed to an approved conceptual plan that would reduce setbacks, intensify the site use (e.g. increase the maximum number of lots), or reduce compatibility elements (e.g. reduce buffering) may be approved only via a process involving public hearings held by both the PZC and the Board, such as this request. This is such a request. If approved by the PZC and the Board, the next step in the process will be the land development permit process. • Proposed PD District for the Project Site The subject site has an L-2 land use designation. Since the land use designation controls the use of the property by limiting the zoning districts applicable to the property, any rezoning must be compatible with the uses and densities allowed by the property's land use designations. Once a specific PD rezoning is approved for a site, the applicable PD conceptual plan adopted as part of the rezoning will limit the type of specific uses and the densities allowed on the subject site. If approved this will modify the existing PD district. The approved conceptual plan has established the dimensional criteria applicable to the site, which will not change. Although PD zoning district parameters are flexible, certain standards related to uses, compatibility (buffering), infrastructure improvements, dimensional criteria, and open space areas are set forth in Chapter 915 (P.D. Process and Standards for Development ordinance) of the county's land development regulations (LDRs). The approved criteria which are not proposed to change are as follows: 78 C:\Users\legistar\AppData\L.ocal\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyMF 8\@BCL@442383BO\@BCL@442383BO.rtf 3
