Radke; Senior Planner, Current Development October 28, 2002 Florida Power and Light's Request for Special Exception Use Approval for an Electrical Substation Facility [SPMA-02-11-67/CDPLUS #2002080053-320171 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 5, 2002. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mosby & Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for special exception and major site plan approval on behalf of Florida Power and Light to construct an electrical substation on a ±5.00 -acre site. Located at the northeast comer of the 12" Street/58' Avenue intersection, the subject site is zoned RS -3 Residential Single -Family (up to 3 units per acre), and has an L-1, Low Density Residential -1 (up to 3 units per acre), land use designation Special exception use approval is needed to construct an electrical substation in the RS -3 zoning district. While the county zoning code does not specifically list an electrical substation as an allowable use in the RS -3 zoning district, the code does list "limited public and private utilities" as an allowable use in the RS -3 zoning district and the definition of limited public utilities does include electrical substations (see attachment #5). Therefore, for zoning purposes staff has categorized the electrical substation as a limited public utilities facility and applied the limited public utilities specific land use criteria from land development regulation (LDR) chapter 971 to the project. At its regular meeting of October 10, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the special exception use request with the condition contained in the recommendation at the end of this report (please see attachment #6). At this time, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the request and is to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special exception use request for the proposeo electrical substation Pursuant to section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the Board is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the subject site and surrounding area The Board may attach reasonable conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
