units instead of single-family. Therefore, the proposed public benefits are primarily intended to control project design and compatibility with the surrounding properties. • Driveway Interconnection: As previously indicated above, the Griffon North PD project will provide a roadway interconnection to the proposed Griffon South project to accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian linkages. The internal roadway connection will connect to 20th Street (SR60) and will allow residents of both projects to utilize either driveway connection (26th Street or 20th Street) providing better local traffic circulation, and reducing potential traffic congestion on nearby intersections. • Increased Setbacks: Based on the M-1 land use designation of the surrounding properties, the PD regulations only require a 25' setback (buildings, driveways, roadways, and parking areas) from certain project perimeters (i.e. the east, south, and west). However, through the PD design and review process, County staff has coordinated with the applicant to provide significantly increased setbacks between the proposed multi -family units and the existing single-family subdivisions to the south and the west. Additionally, the proposed design provides setbacks that exceed the minimum required setbacks between the proposed multi- family units and the existing total care facility to the east and northeast. Increased Perimeter Landscape Buffering: Through coordination with County staff, the applicant has proposed increased landscape buffers to the south and west of the project site. The applicant is providing a Type `B" buffer with a 6' opaque feature along the south and west project perimeters where the LDRs and PD regulations do not require any landscape buffer or type of opaque feature. These increased landscape buffers provide a significant benefit and compatibility measure in favor of the adjacent properties to south and west. All conditions recommended by staff have been accepted by the applicant. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant approval of the PD rezoning request and the conceptual PD plan for The Griffon North PD, with the following conditions: 1. Prior to issuance of a land development permit, the applicant shall: a. Obtain Public Works approval of the final design of the westbound left turn lane at the project's 26th Street driveway connection. b. Obtain Planning staff approval of the final landscape and streetlighting plan. c. Obtain Environmental Planning staff approval of the final tree protection and mitigation plan. 2. Prior to issuance of a certificate of completion, the applicant shall: a. Construct the required westbound left turn lane at the project's 26th Street driveway connection. b. Construct the full driveway connection to 20th Street (SR 60) through the adjacent/separate project site to the south. c. Install all required buffers and landscape improvements. d. Install the required streetlighting improvements. 119
