� B0Boap' f'� li r.. S 5' strip of land with the amount of plant material equal to 20% of a type B buffer. In addition, the developer has agreed to construct a 6' high green vinyl clad chainlink fence on the- Marbrisa property during phase 1 construction. These private agreement provisions are not a part of the PD plan approval and cannot. and will not be enforced by' the county. Only the provisions affecting the Island Club property itself will be the subject of the PD proposal and approval. During Phase I, the 5' buffer on the Marbrisa property is to be installed, based upon the private agreement. The remaining north 20' buffer on the Island Club site is to be planted during the appropriate development phases that abut the south perimeter, based upon a recommended condition of PD plan - approval. - West: The property to the west is currently agriculturally zoned with an active citrus grove, but has a residential land use designation. Based on LDR section 9.15.16, the developer is required to provide a transition area of lots meeting the zoning district minimum criteria or a Type "C" buffer, if any waivers are requested. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the lots along the west perimeter be made to conform to the RS -6 zoning district minimum criteria and provide a Type "C" buffer to which the developer agreed. 18. Zoning Issue: As referenced earlier in the report, 8.30 acres of the project are zoned A-11 Agricultural (up to 1 unit/5 acres). The project can be approved with these 8.30 A-1 zoned acres since the area is designated for residential uses (L-2) , the allowed density is not exceeded, the open space is met, single family residences are permitted uses in the A-1 zoning district, and the appropriate waivers have been requested. Staff, however, is recommending that prior to final plat approval the applicant file an application to rezone the 8.30 acres. This arrangement lets the developer proceed with approval and construction, while the rezoning is being accomplished. The rezoning is needed as a zoning "house keeping" measure, so that when the 40 acres to the west of Island Club are eventually rezoned and developed, there is no 8.30 acre hiatus zoned A-1. The rezoning will also help as a practical real estate matter when future zoning inquiries are made by buyers and lenders. The applicant has agreed to this recommendation.. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the that the Board of County Commissioners approve the conceptual PD plan and special exception request with the following conditions: 1.. That, to ensure compatibility of the project with the adjacent Marbrisa development, the foilowiag.burger improvements and setbacks shall be required: a. On the Island Club site, a 20' wide buffer comprised of 80% of the plant material required for a Type "B" buffer shall be provided along the south perimeter of the project site that abuts Marbrisa. b. The north 20' of the buffer shall be planted with each applicable phase that abuts the south perimeter. 62 FEBRUARY 20, 1996 M O M
