While the comprehensive plan policies regarding development in agriculturally designated areas have recently changed, the applicant would still need to go through the PD process for the type of design proposed. It should be noted that under the new comprehensive plan policies , golf courses are not allowed as part of agricultural planned developments for density calculation purposes . Clustering can be accomplished in different ways . One approvable concept clusters the lots in a layout of 1 acre or smaller lots and creates 1 large tract which could be separately owned and limited to open space ( agricultural or preservation ) uses until such time as the land may be re - designated . Another approvable clustering concept creates larger tracts , each with a designated buildable lot area ( homesite ) . Such tracts could be laid out so as to cluster the buildable lot areas in close proximity to one another, or in close proximity to a land feature . or in close proximity to a roadway ( as determined by the Board of County Commissioners during a discussion of agricultural PD clustering ) . Under such clustering designs , each tract could be individually owned . The applicant has attempted to use a hybrid of the two systems . grouping lots around a conventional golf course design with agricultural preserves at the north and south ends . The design , however, spreads the proposed roads and lots throughout a significant area of the project site . • PD Project Approval Process The process involved in review and approval of this proposal is as follows : Approval Needed Reviewing Bodv 1 . Conceptual Plan/Special Exception PZC & BCC �' . Preliminary PD PZC 3 . Land Development Permit (LD ) or Waiver Staff 4 . Final PD (plat ) BCC The applicant is now requesting approval of the first step . If the project is approved by the Board of County Commissioners , the applicant will need to obtain preliminary PD plan approval from the PZC and then obtain an LDP for required PD improvements from public works .
