THE PD REZONING PROCESS: The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. STEP 4. STEP 5. STEP 6. Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff and by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Final action taken by the Board of County Commissioners. Preliminary PD Plan/Plat (combination of site plan and preliminary plat) Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission Land Development Permit or Permit Waiver: Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of subdivision improvements (road, utilities, drainage). Building Permit(s): Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of buildings. Final PD Plat Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the Board of County Commissioners. Certificate of Occupancy: Reviewed and issued by staff for use and occupancy of buildings. The applicant is pursuing approval of Steps 1 and 2 at this time. Once a PD conceptual plan is approved, only minor modifications to the conceptual plan can be approved at a staff level. Any proposed changes that would intensify the site use (e.g increase the maximum building area) or reduce compatibility elements (e.g. reduced buffering) may 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 a PUB (Public) land use designation. The PUB land use designation allows a variety of commercial and industrial zoning districts for uses that serve public purposes. Since the land use designation controls the use of the property by limiting the applicable zoning districts, any rezoning must be compatible with the uses 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 limits the type of specific uses and intensity of development on the site and establishes the site's dimensional criteria. Although PD zoning district parameters are flexible, certain standards related to uses, compatibility (buffering), infrastructure improvements, and open space are set forth in Chapter 915 (P ID Process and Standards for Development Ordinance) of the County's Land Development Regulations (LDRs). Based upon the proposed conceptual PD plan and the Chapter 915 standards, the proposed PD district for the subject site contains the special elements identified in the table below. That table also lists corresponding RM -10 district criteria for comparison purposes. The table illustrates that the proposed PD district will allow all the same uses that are allowed in the RM -10 district plus office and medical clinic facilities November 5, 2002 62 lit •
