I - 106 "'t66 Through the project's tax credit and financing program, the development will be restricted to elderly residents. Such a restriction could make the project more compatible with some of the existing developments in the area that are largely occupied by seniors. Any change in the project's age of residents restrictions would constitute a change of use and would require approval by the county. In staffs opinion, the proposed residential development would be compatible with other uses and developments along SR 60, based upon building location, setbacks, and buffering. 17. Landscaping and Buffering: The landscape plan meets the requirements of Chapter 926, including a 25' setback from all project property lines. The comprehensive plan requires that projects seeking a density bonus provide a Type "B" buffer on any perimeters that are adjacent to other residential properties. That criterion has been applied to this project. Consequently, the applicant is proposing a Type "B" buffer along the east and west property lines. Buffers consistent with the SR 60 corridor plan have been provided along the project's SR 60 and 16th Street frontage. All buffers will need to be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building. Also, pursuant to increased tree standards adopted into the LDRs last December, larger canopy trees are required and proposed on the east side of the building. Because the building is over 25' high and is closer than 70' to the east property line, all canopy trees within that Type "B" buffer are specified as 16'-18' tall, 3" caliper, and 8' spread at time of planting. 18. SR 60 Corridor Plan Criteria: Since the site is located within the SR 60 corridor plan area, the corridor plan criteria apply. The plan meets the SR 60 corridor plan criteria as described below: a. Roadway Landscaping: The site has frontage on SR 60 and 161 Street, both of which are thoroughfare plan roads. The project has 338' of frontage on SR 60 and 190' of frontage on 16th Street. A 48' wide driveway on SR 60 reduces the plantable frontage to 290'. A 20' wide driveway on 161 Street reduces the plantable frontage to 17W. The landscape plan provides the proper amount of landscape material to meet the corridor plan buffer requirements along both the SR 60 and 16' Street frontages. Those buffers provide the required 6' opaque feature for multi -family project Thoroughfare Plan road frontages, and are a minimum of 40' deep along SR 60 and a minimum of 140' deep along 161 Street. All other elements of the landscape plan meet the SR 60 corridor plan criteria. b. Architectural: There will be one 3 story building with gable roofs that have a 5:12 pitch. The roof will be a fiberglass shingle roof that is allowed for residential structures within the SR 60 corridor. All of the proposed colors and building materials have been reviewed and meet the SR 60 corridor plan requirements. C. Foundation Plantings: While no foundation plantings are required for residential structures in the SR 60 corridor, the applicant will be providing a variety of foundation plantings compatible with the building. d. Signs: The freestanding sign for this project will be a landscaped monument style sign. A complete sign package will be submitted with the building permit application. Staff will review the sign package for compliance with the SR 60 corridor plan. e. Lighting Plan: The applicant has submitted a lighting plan that is consistent with the SR 60 corridor plan.
