I BOOK 108 FADE 549 0 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. Must comply with the Board's action/approval of conditions 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. STEP 5. Final PD plat Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Board of County Commissioners. STEP 6. Certificate of Occupancy: Reviewed and issued by staff for use and occupancy of buildings. The applicant is pursuing approval of Step 1. If the Board approves the rezoning and conceptual plan, then preliminary PD plan approval for each phase or combination of phases will be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Once a conceptual PD plan is approved, only minor modifications to the conceptual plan can be approved at a staff level. Any proposed changes that would intensify the site use (e.g. increase the maximum building area) or reduce compatibility elements (e.g. reduced buffering) may be approved only via a process involving public hearings held by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. • Proposed PD District for the Project Site The subject site is split between two land use designations. The northern 95.52 acres are designated as M-1, Medium Density 1 (up to 8 unitslacre), and located inside the USA, while the 507.47 acres south of 161 Street are designated as AG -1, Agriculture 1(up to 1 unit/5 acres), and located outside the USA. In this instance, the TND criteria of Objective 18 of the County's Comprehensive Plan control the use of the property and how density is calculated and distributed. Any conceptual PD, such as this one, that proposes density higher than 1 unit/5 acres outside the USA, must meet the TND criteria of Objective 18. The proposed PDTND zoning district and corresponding conceptual PD plan set limits on the type and location of specific uses allowed; the intensity and location of development; and the dimensional criteria for various blocks, tracts, and lots. Although PD zoning district parameters are flexible, certain standards related to uses, compatibility (buffering), infrastructure improvements, dimensional criteria and open space apply to this project and are set forth in Chapter 915 (P.D. Ordinance) of the county's land development regulations (LDRs) and Objective 18 of the comprehensive plan. Based on the proposed conceptual PD plan, Chapter 915, and Objective 18, the proposed PD district for the subject site contains the special elements identified in the table below. The table also lists RM -8 and A-1 district criteria for comparison purposes. MARCH 9, 1999 r� u 28
