DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Stonebridge North is a proposed 46.69 acre single family residential planned development. The proposed PD will establish 108 platted lots, common recreational areas, centralized stormwater management system, and internal roadways within the boundaries of the proposed preliminary plat for Stonebridge North. The subject site is located on the north side of 4th Street in the 5300 block. The property is zoned RS -3, Residential Single Family (up to 3 units per acre) and is to be developed at a density of 2.19 units per acre. The applicant proposes to target a specific housing market within the density restriction for RS -3 zoning. In order to achieve the design flexibility considered necessary, the applicant has chosen to request lot size and sideyard building setback waivers through the PD special exception use process. The purpose and intent of the planned development (PD) special exception use approval process is to allow development design flexibility while also promoting an overall benefit for the county as a whole. Staff has considered the compatibility of the proposed project on surrounding properties, in terms of both existing and potential uses. In order to enhance the project's compatibility and benefit to the community, the applicant will provide perimeter landscape buffering, larger perimeter lots, and provide for pedestrian connections to yet -to -be -developed residentially designated properties to the east and west. The subject site, which is approximately 1,230' R 1,6601, is comprised of two parcels of land previously utilized as a citrus grove. Development of the site will create 108 lots, a wet stormwater management tract, and on-site roadways. Approval of this preliminary PD plan/plat permits construction of Stonebridge North in two phases, 52 lots in Phase 1 and 56 lots in Phase 2. Subject to the issuance of the land development permit, the applicant has the ability to construct all infrastructure improvements during Phase 1. Final platting will occur phase by phase. •Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation and Board of County Commissioners Consideration At its regular meeting of November 21, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners grant special exception use approval subject to the conditions stated in the recommendations section of this report (see attachment #4). The Board is now to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special exception use request. In making its decision, the Board must determine if the request is appropriate for the subject property and surrounding areas. The Board may then grant approval and attach any condition(s) and safeguard(s) deemed appropriate to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with surrounding areas. The Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plan/plat approval subject to the Board granting the associated special exception use request. Therefore, if the Board grants special exception use approval, the preliminary plan/plat approval will be in effect, and subject to the conditions approved by the Board.
