, cid 98 Fr, -F614 *****Open space will be guaranteed through the setbacks on each individual lot and the overall controls on the conceptual PD plan. Note: All lots along the eastern perimeter will meet the RS -6 zoning district minimum lot size and setback criteria, with perimeter lots having the ability to have a zero side yard setback, if the side is opposite the project perimeter. Road rights-of-way and open space areas are proposed between project lots and north, south, and west perimeters. It should be noted that, if the PD rezoning is approved, the approved conceptual plan would be included as an actual exhibit to the ordinance that approves the rezoning request. Additional items which are controlled by the conceptual plan include buffering and the overall subdivision layout. REZONING ANALYSIS: *Existing Zoning and Land Use Pattern The subject site is presently an active citrus grove and is located on a principal arterial (CR 510) at the northeast corner of the intersection with CR 510 and Jungle Trail. To the north and west of the subject site are primarily residential areas within the Town of Orchid. However, at the northwest corner of Jungle Trail and CR 510, immediately west of the southern portion of the site is vacant commercially zoned property within the Town. Jungle Trail physically separates the proposed project from the Town of Orchid on the west perimeter, and provides an effective physical barrier between the two developments. There is an area labeled as conservation area within the Town of Orchid which separates the north portion of the proposed development from Jungle Trail. Staff and the developer have been coordinating with the Town manager, who indicates that the Town has no objections to the proposed project. South of the subject site, across CR 510, is a grove zoned RM -6 with an L-2 land use designation. East of the site is an existing residential area zoned RT -6 and RS -6 (please see attachment #2). This area includes the Oceanaire Heights and Spring Place neighborhoods, both of which consist primarily of single family homes. There are several duplexes in Oceanaire Heights. Since Oceanaire Heights is zoned RT -6, duplexes are allowed in that subdivision. It is the property to the east which will be most affected by the proposed rezoning, since that property is the most heavily developed and is not physically separated from the subject property. Generally, the proposed single family PD rezoning is consistent with the existing pattern of development to the east. In addition, a 10, wide Type "C" buffer is required along the east property line, and all lots along the east property line are proposed to conform to the RS -6 minimum lot size, dimensional, and setback criteria. These factors should ensure that the proposed development is compatible with the adjacent subdivisions. 38 JULY 239 1996 M ® M
