I <br />BOOK 108 FADE 549 <br />0 The PD Rezoning Process <br />The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: <br />STEP 1. Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan Approval: Review and recommendation made by <br />staff and by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Final action taken by the Board <br />of County Commissioners. <br />STEP 2. Preliminary PD Plan/Plat (combination of site plan and preliminary plat) Approval: <br />Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission. Must comply with the Board's action/approval of conditions <br />on the rezoning request. <br />STEP 3. Land Development Permit or Permit Waiver: Reviewed and issued by staff for <br />construction of subdivision improvements (road, utilities, drainage). <br />STEP 4. Building Permit(s): Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of buildings. <br />STEP 5. Final PD plat Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action <br />taken by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />STEP 6. Certificate of Occupancy: Reviewed and issued by staff for use and occupancy of <br />buildings. <br />The applicant is pursuing approval of Step 1. If the Board approves the rezoning and conceptual <br />plan, then preliminary PD plan approval for each phase or combination of phases will be reviewed <br />by the Planning and Zoning Commission. <br />Once a conceptual PD plan is approved, only minor modifications to the conceptual plan can be <br />approved at a staff level. Any proposed changes that would intensify the site use (e.g. increase the <br />maximum building area) or reduce compatibility elements (e.g. reduced buffering) may be approved <br />only via a process involving public hearings held by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and <br />the Board of County Commissioners. <br />• Proposed PD District for the Project Site <br />The subject site is split between two land use designations. The northern 95.52 acres are designated <br />as M-1, Medium Density 1 (up to 8 unitslacre), and located inside the USA, while the 507.47 acres <br />south of 161 Street are designated as AG -1, Agriculture 1(up to 1 unit/5 acres), and located outside <br />the USA. In this instance, the TND criteria of Objective 18 of the County's Comprehensive Plan <br />control the use of the property and how density is calculated and distributed. Any conceptual PD, <br />such as this one, that proposes density higher than 1 unit/5 acres outside the USA, must meet the <br />TND criteria of Objective 18. The proposed PDTND zoning district and corresponding conceptual <br />PD plan set limits on the type and location of specific uses allowed; the intensity and location of <br />development; and the dimensional criteria for various blocks, tracts, and lots. <br />Although PD zoning district parameters are flexible, certain standards related to uses, compatibility <br />(buffering), infrastructure improvements, dimensional criteria and open space apply to this project <br />and are set forth in Chapter 915 (P.D. Ordinance) of the county's land development regulations <br />(LDRs) and Objective 18 of the comprehensive plan. Based on the proposed conceptual PD plan, <br />Chapter 915, and Objective 18, the proposed PD district for the subject site contains the special <br />elements identified in the table below. The table also lists RM -8 and A-1 district criteria for <br />comparison purposes. <br />MARCH 9, 1999 <br />r� <br />u <br />28 <br />
