approvals for the church (administrative permit use) and the school (special exception use). A conceptual site plan provides general development plan information including overall intensity, but does not include all the details of a "final" site plan design or authorize any construction. If the special exception use approval is granted, then the applicant will submit a separate and complete final site plan application. That final site plan application would proceed through the normal site plan review and approval process, including another review by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) if the overall net new impervious area exceeds 150,000 SF (or could be approved at the staff level if the net new impervious area is below 150,000 SF). The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) now needs to consider the conceptual site plan and special exception use request for the proposed school facility, conduct a public hearing, and approve, approve with conditions; or deny the request. Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the County LDRs, the BCC is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the subject site and compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. The BCC may recommend reasonable conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) Action: At its meeting of June 13, 2019, the PZC voted 5-0 to recommend that the BCC grant special exception use approval for the school with the conditions recommended by staff (see attachment 1). The PZC also granted administrative permit use approval for the church, subject to the BCC granting special exception use approval for the school. During the June 13 PZC public hearing, two nearby property owners spoke in opposition to the proposed project, and indicated concerns about additional traffic, removal of wildlife habitat, and proposed buffering (see attachment 1). In response to concerns expressed, staff explained how County regulations and project design address those concerns. Staff also explained that the subject request is for conceptual site plan approval, and that additional details would be provided during the "final" site plan review and approval process. Staff also obtained contact information from the two nearby property owners so that they can be contacted if and when the final site plan is submitted, and they will be able to review the final site plan once it is submitted. It is staff's opinion that the proposed conceptual site plan, and County regulations that will be applied later in the development review process, will provide adequate safeguards for compatibility with the surrounding area.
