BOOK iO b PAGE 7U STEP 3. Land Development Permit or Permit Waiver: Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of subdivision improvements (roads, 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 STEP 1 of the process. Once a PD conceptual plan is approved, only minor modifications to the conceptual plan can be approved at a staff level. Any changes proposed to an approved conceptual plan that would intensify the site use (e.g. increase the maximum number of lots) or reduce compatibility elements (e.g. reduce buffering) can 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 has an L-1 land use designation. This underlying land use designation allows a variety of single-family districts and a multi -family zoning district, each of which has a maximum density of 3 units/acre or less. Since the land use designation controls the use of the property by limiting the zoning districts applicable to the property, any rezoning must be compatible with the uses and densities allowed by the property's land use designation. Once a specific PD rezoning is approved for a site, the applicable PD conceptual plan adopted as part of the rezoning will limit the type of specific uses, densities, and dimensional criteria allowed on the subject site. Although PD zoning district parameters are flexible, certain standards related to uses, compatibility (buffering), infrastructure improvements, dimensional criteria, and open space areas are set forth in Chapter 915 (P.D. Process and Standards for Development Ordinance) of the county's land development regulations (LDRs). As reflected in the proposed conceptual PD plan, the proposed PD district for the subject site contains the following elements as compared with the traditional RS -3 zoning district. The project consists of 6 "villages" or pods, each of which contains a certain residential product type. The individual "villages" are compared to the RS -3 zoning district standards in the chart below. July 13, 1999 42
