BOOK 104 pxa use of the PD process and a layout of the lots that "clusters" homesites in a manner that provides large remaining areas of open space (used for agriculture or preservation of fm natural tures). Therefore, the LDRs limit the maximum lot or homesite size to I acre, with rig areas designated as Open space (see attachment #4). Lot or homesite clustering also preserves the ability for finum opmcet of the overall property at a higher density if, in the future, the comprehensive plan is changed and the property is re -designated for residential development. Clustering can be accomplished in different ways. One approvable concept clusters the lots in a standard subdivision layout of 1 acre or smaller lots and creates I large tract which could be separately owned and limited to open space (agricultural or preservation) uses until such time as the land may be re -designated. Another approvable clustering concept awes 1-5 acre tracts, each with a designated buildable lot area (homesite). Such tracts can be laid out so as to cluster the buildable lot areas in close proximity to one another or in close proximity to a land feature or roadway. Under such a design, each tract could be individually owned. This concept has been used in the design of the proposed Lost Hammock Subdivision. GPD Project Process As a PD project, the process involved in review and approval of this proposal is as follows: Approval Needed l • Conceptual Plan/Speciai Exception 2. Preliminary PD PlWPlan 3. Land Development Permits or Waiver 4. Final PD (plat) Reviewing Body PZC & BCC PZC. Note: approved on December 11, 1997 subject to the Board granting the special exception use request. Staff BCC Thehcant is now requesting Board approval of the conceptual plan and special exception use. alI approval is granted, then the preliminary PD Phu/plan approval granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission will become effective and the applicant will need to obtain from public works a land development permit or LDP waiver for required PD improvements. OPlanning and Zoning Commission Consideration At its regular meeting of December 11, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the preliminary PD plat/plan and recommend that the Board grant the special exception use request. The Board is to consider the appropriateness and compatibility of the proposed special exception use request and to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the use request. The Board may attach any conditions deemed appropriate to mitigate impacts of the proposed project. ALYSIS: 1. Size of PD Area: 39.426 acres (including access roadway) 2. Zoning Classification: A-1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit per 5 acres 3. Land Use Designation: AG -1, Agricultural (up to I unit per 5 acres) 4. Density: 0.20 units per acre (I unit per 4.928 acres or 214,674+ sq. ft. of land area per unit) Note: The county's LDRs recognize that many tracts within the county have previously dedicated property for canal and road rights-of-way; therefore, the LDRs set the minimum Parcel size in the A-1 zoning district is 200,000 square feet or 4.59 acres. For that reason, a tract consisting of 36.72 acres can be developed with 8 units. The proposed development complies with the 200,000 square feet per unit standard. 5. Maximum Lot/Homesite Area: Allowed: 1 acre Proposed: 1 acre 6. Open Space: Required: 60"/0 Provided: 80'/0 7. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. North: 7th Street, residential single family/A-1 South: Groves, residenial/A 1 East: Residential/A-1 West: Residential/A-1 8. Traffic Circulation: Access to 4th Street for all eight lots will be via the subdivision's roadway, proposed as a single cul-de-sac that wdl curve through the center of the subdivision The submitted preliminary plat/plan proposes a paved road within a 60' private road riight-of- way. The Wits allow such a road to be unpaved, since the subdivision is private, generates less than 100 daily cps, and is located outside the Urban Service Area However, the applicant is proposing to provide a 20' wide paved roadway. The traffic engineering division has reviewed and approved the roadway layout. JANUARY 13, 1998 -30- • 0
