BOOK 106 PAGE 62 •Planning and Zoning Commission Consideration At its regular meeting of May 14, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval of the special exception use and conceptual PD plan application. Also, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary PD plan subject to the Board of County Commissioners action on the conceptual PD plan and special exception use application. ANALYSIS• 1. Size of Development: 19.24 acres 2. Zoning Classifications: RM -8, Residential Multi -Family (up to 8 units/acre) 3. Land Use Designations: M-1, Medium Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre) 4. Phasing: All improvements are to be constructed at the same time. 5. Number of Units: Proposed: 184 units Allowed: 184 units 6. Off -Street Parking: Required: 368 spaces Provided: 374 spaces Note: As allowed by the code, the applicant is proposing 92 stabilized grassed parking spaces with the remaining 276 spaces being paved. Section 954.05(4 1)(a) I states that parking spaces for multi -family residents should be located within 200' of the units they serve. While the applicant has not done a detailed analysis, he generally acknowledges that there are parking spaces greater than 200' from the units they serve. Generally, the more remotely located parking spaces are due to design constraints of the narrow property, and the fact that all of the residential units are contained in a single building. The narrowness of the property does not allow parking on the east side of the building, thus precluding an option for spaces to be located along an entire side of the building. The applicant has revised the plan at staff s request to eliminate a plaza area with a fountain and replaced it with 14 additional spaces adjacent to the building. In staff s opinion, the revisions help address the general policy of having spaces located close to the units served. Also, staff has suggested providing at least 1 space within 200' of each unit assigned for that unit, and signing an area close to the entry points for short term loading and unloading such as groceries. 7. Density: Normal RM -8 maximum: 8.00 units/acre Allowed (with 20% density bonus): 9.60 units/acre Proposed (with 20% density bonus): 9.56 units/acre Note: The density is based on 19.24 gross acres of developable RM -8 zoned property. By using the affordable housing density bonus available through the PD process, the applicant is proposing a 20% density bonus increase above the project's normally allowed maximum density. The applicant will also be dedicating additional right-of-way for 161' Street and will be compensated through a density credit. The yet -to -be -dedicated right-of- way is included in the site's gross upland area acreage (19.24 acres), as indicated below. Both the affordable housing density bonus and the density credit as compensation for the proposed right-of-way dedication are provided for in the LDRs. June 9, 1998 54 0 0
