ANALYSIS According to the County's Land Development Regulations. a site's zoning density allowance is applied to the gross site area to derive the maximum number of units that can be built on the site. Besides upland property. gross site area may include existing non -platted travelways and manmade water bodies such as lakes and canals. For properties along the Indian River Lagoon. areas landward of the mean high water line comprise the gross site area. In regard to the River Island PD site. the area landward of the mean high water line is the gross site area and includes the existing 52' Court travelway and portions of the canal located west of "52' Court". The onginal PD plan application included a survey of the site area; however. that survey did not note an acreage figure for the site area. The PD plan. prepared by the project engineer, reflected boundaries and information based on the survey and stated that the project site area was 1.88 acres (see attachment #4). Staff accepted the project engineer's site area figure and reviewed the project accordingly. Those plans were approved by the Board on January 9th based upon the 1.88 acre site area figure provided by the applicant. Now that the site area has been found to be in error. the applicant proposes w revise the PD plan by changing the site area figure from 1.88 acres to 1.67 acres. Those revised drawings are now being reviewed by the County Surveyor to confirm the new 1.67 acre figure. Because there is clear evidence from the project engineer that the gross site area is actually less than 1.88 acres and is less than the minimum gross area required for an 11 unit project in the RM -6 zoning district the January 9, 2001. approval by the Board needs to be rescinded. The Board may also set a future public hearing date w consider approval of a corrected and revised PD plan. A public hearing date that will meet advertising notice. and review timeframes is the April 3, 2001 Board of County Commissioners' regular meeting. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Rescind its January 9. 2001 approval of the River Island PD, and Set a public hearing for the April 3. 2001 regular Board of County Commissioners meeting to consider approval of a corrected and revised River Island PD plan.
