Boa 106 PnE 48 •Development Approval Options Available to the Developer Presently, the site is zoned General Commercial (CG), a zoning district which allows mini storage facilities as an administrative permit use and limits such facilities to a maximum size of 3 acres. Any rezoning action must comply with the site's C/I, CommerciaUIndustrial land use designation. There are two options available to the developer to seek approval of the proposed project. Either of the two options, if approved, would allow the applicant to proceed with his project, as proposed. These options are as follows: 1. Rezone the site to the CH, IL, or IG zoning district, all of which allow mini storage facilities as permitted uses, with no restrictions on the facility acreage; OR 2. Rezone the site to a PD zoning district that is tied to a conceptual PD plan proposing a 4.76 acre mini storage facility. On staff s recommendation, the developer has opted for a PD rezoning. If approved, the PD rezoning would effectively rezone the property in accordance with the approved conceptual PD plan. •The PD Zoning District, Generally Although many PD projects have been reviewed in the county, few of those projects have involved PD rezonings. Unlike standard zoning districts, there are no specific size or dimension criteria for PD districts. Instead, the PD district is based on the underlying land use plan designation for density and use limitations, and on compatibility requirements. In the PD zoning district, setbacks and other typical zoning district regulations are established on a site by site basis through approval of a conceptual PD plan. Adopted as part of the PD zoning for a property, the conceptual plan serves as the zoning standard for the site. A rezoning to the PD district requires the submission of a binding conceptual PD plan which, along with certain PD district requirements, limits uses and sets -forth specific development standards on the site. Thus, a PD rezoning allows a unique PD district to be developed specifically for each development site. In this case, the conceptual and preliminary PD plan proposes an 87,287 square foot mini storage facility on 4.76 acres. Aspects of the proposed conceptual/preliminary PD plan will be addressed in the "Plan Analysis" section of this report. •The PD Rezoning Process The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: STEP 1. Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff and by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Final action taken by the Board of County Commissioners. STEP 2. Preliminary PD Plan/Plat (combination of site plan and preliminary plat) Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission, subject to the Board's action on the rezoning request. STEP 3. Land Development Permit or Permit Waiver: Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of subdivision improvements (road, utilities, drainage). STEP 4. Building Permit(s): Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of buildings. June 9, 1998 .M
