r� BOOK 10PAGE 32 1 The 5 acre parcel on the east side of Indian River Boulevard was previously incorporated in the Grand Harbor DRI, but not the PD. The developer is now seeking to include those 5 acres in the PD as residential property. The requested PD expansion, and the corresponding change in the DRI master land use plan, will allow swapping out residential units for commercial square footage without increasing traffic generation/attraction for Grand Harbor. The essence of the applicant's PD request is to allow residential development on the west side of Indian River Boulevard where only commercial/office development has been previously approved. The amount of office, commercial, and residential development will not exceed the traffic generation intensity of the previously approved commercial/office square footage (335,450 square feet of commercial and 241,000 square feet of office). Therefore, no increase in development intensity is proposed. The waivers that apply to the Grand Harbor PD area would be applicable to all new PD areas. Those waivers include: right-of-way widths reduced to 40', and 0' setbacks on residential lots within development pods. Planning and Zoning Commission Action: At its regular meeting of October 23, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend that the Board approve the request to expand the Grand Harbor PD area. At that meeting, staff recommended adding a condition regarding the prohibition of Caribbean Fruit Fly host plants, which the applicant does not object to, and the Planning and Zoning Commission included that condition in its motion to recommend approval. That condition has been incorporated into staff s recommendation that appears at the end of this report. ANALYSIS• 1.
