14. Dedications and Improvements: Sidewalks: A 4' wide sidewalk would normally be required for the site's frontage along 44' Place. As allowed by Chapter 913 of the LDRs, the applicant has requested and been granted an exemption from this sidewalk requirement by the Public Works Director, since 44'h Place is a dead-end local roadway serving less than 20 lots and is unlikely to be extended in the future. 15. Proposed PD Waivers: The proposed waivers available through the PD process were discussed in the PD zoning analysis. Please reference that section of this report for waivers proposed by the development. 16. Landscaping and Buffering: The landscape plan has been reviewed by planning staff and has been found to be in conformance with Chapter 926 of the LDRs. As previously mentioned, the applicant is preserving some existing oak trees on site and has received tree credits for those accordingly. Pursuant to the compatibility standards for PD projects set forth in Chapter 915 of the LDRs, the applicant has provided a Type "D" buffer along the south property line of the site. No other special landscape buffers are required for this project, and none are proposed. CONCLUSION: The requested PD rezoning and corresponding conceptual and preliminary PD plan/plat are compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, meet all concurrency requirements, and are consistent with the site's C/l. Commercial/Industrial, land use designation. The subject property is suitable for the proposed residential development given the existing uses of the surrounding properties. Furthermore, the approval of the PD rezoning will accommodate the redevelopment of an abandoned site that might remain vacant for some time under the current commercial zoning of the site. The preliminary PD plan is consistent with the proposed PD rezoning and conceptual PD plan, and meets all applicable land development regulation requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant approval of the PD rezoning request and the PD conceptual plan with the following condition: a. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for the project, the applicant shall provide the required Type "D" landscape buffer along the south property line. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Application 2.
