Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed ordinance. ■ Entry Features in the CR 510 East Corridor BCC - initiated) This past July, the Board adopted special "overlay" regulations within the CR 510 East Corridor. These regulations, which were initiated by the CR 510 East Corridor Committee and reviewed by the PSAC, include maximum heights for walls (8') and guardhouses (20' overall) and a 125' guardhouse setback. The 20' height standard and special 125' setback were based upon the height and location of the existing Orchid guardhouse located on the east side of SR A -1-A. There was a consensus among Corridor Committee members that the existing Orchid guardhouse and corresponding standards are aesthetically good and accommodate developer needs. In August, the Board considered the Seasons PD project, which is located within the CR 510 east corridor and which is subject to the current 20' guardhouse height requirement. In its discussions with the project developer, staff stated that the recently adopted LDR amendment allowed ample room for a one-story guardhouse and sloped roof and that the developer should adjust his original design to meet the new standard. Thus, staffs position was (and is) that the current 20' limitation reasonably accommodates guardhouse designs. As indicated in attachment #5, the PSAC also concludes that the existing 20' height limitation reasonably accommodates guardhouse designs. However, during the Board's consideration of the Seasons PD project, the developer presented the Board architectural elevations showing a 20' tall guardhouse with and without a 6' tall cupola (total height: 26 feet). Upon review, the Board decided that the cupola would be acceptable and directed staff to change the LDRs to allow for such an architectural embellishment and accommodate the developer's proposal (see attachment #4). Based upon the Board's direction, staff has drafted an LDR amendment to the CR 510 east corridor requirements to allow architectural embellishments, such as cupolas, to project up to 6' above the 20' height limit for the main roof of a guardhouse. The total height of the overall structure under the proposed LDR amendment would be 26 feet. PSAC Recommendation: Voted 7-0 to recommend denial of the proposed ordinance. PZC Recommendation: Voted 5-0 to recommend denial of the proposed ordinance. Staff Recommendation: To approve the proposed amendment based on the Board's directive. Planning staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: Direct staff to make any necessary changes to the proposed ordinances, and 2. Announce its intentions to take final action on the proposed ordinances at the Board hearing scheduled for 9:05 am on November 7, 2000 to be held in the County Commission Chambers.
