BOOK 96 DA, ?2 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />*Project Description: <br />Hammock Lakes is a proposed 68.82 acre single family residential <br />planned development (PD) project bordered by 58th Avenue (Kings <br />Highway)/Lateral B Canal on its west side and 1st Street SW on its <br />north side. The subject site, comprised of 2 tracts that together <br />measure approximately 1,176' X 2,574', is currently used as pasture <br />land and a citrus grove. The PD preliminary plan/plat • submitted <br />concurrently with the special exception use request identifies <br />recreational and landscape tracts, 206 building lots, and two <br />lakes. The property is zoned RS -31 Residential Single Family (up <br />to 3 units per acre), and is proposed to be developed at a density <br />of 2.99 units per acre. <br />•Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation and Board of County <br />Commissioners Consideration: <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission initially considered this <br />request at its August 24, 1995 meeting. At that meeting, the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission heard staff's presentation and <br />tabled consideration of the request to allow time for planning <br />staff and the County Attorney's Office to resolve an interpretation <br />issue relating to the planned development open space requirements <br />that apply to this application. Subsequently, planning staff and <br />the County Attorney's Office resolved the open space interpretation <br />issue, and the application proceeded as submitted. At its <br />September 14, 19.95 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />continued its consideration of the request and voted 5-1 to <br />recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />special exception use request. (see attachments 6, 7 and 8). <br />The Board is now to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the <br />special exception use request. In making its decision, the Board <br />must determine if the request is appropriate for the subject <br />property and the surrounding areas. The Board may then deny or <br />grant approval and attach any conditions and safeguards deemed <br />appropriate to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the <br />use with the surrounding area. <br />ANALYSIS OF P.D.
