(b) Recognize and enhance the historic, ecological, and low-density character of the Roseland
community;
(c) Increase property values in the Roseland Corridor;
(d) Encourage the establishment of compatible land uses and attractive development in the
Roseland corridor;
(e) Make the Roseland Corridor area consistent with the following vision statement:
Roseland will retain the feeling of an uncluttered, well-maintained neighborhood. Through
attractive landscaping and special development design considerations, the Roseland Corridor
Plan regulations will preserve and enhance the natural beauty, historic integrity, and scenic
vistas that give Roseland its special character.
BOUNDARIES OF THE ROSELAND CORRIDOR.
The boundaries of the Roseland Corridor include commercial and industrial zoned land on both sides
of US 1 north of the City of Sebastian city limits, and continue north along both sides of US 1 to the
north county limit, and would also contain that portion of Roseland Road that is currently designated
as commercial/industrial on the Future Land Use Map. Also, these regulations will govern all new
institutional development north of the City of Sebastian city limits, east of the St. Sebastian River
and west of the Indian River lagoon.
SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WITHIN THE ROSELAND CORRIDOR.
In the Roseland Corridor, the following special regulations shall apply to new non-residential and
mixed use (combination of residential/commercial) development that requires major site plan
approval. For non-residential administrative approval and minor site plan projects, the special
regulations of section 5 shall apply.

to the community development director that the cost of lowering a non-
conformity sign to a conforming height would exceed fifty (50) percent of
the cost to replace the sign, and the building official verifies the
appropriateness of the estimated replacement cost, then the sign shall not
need to be made a "compatible freestanding sign." However, when such an
exemption applies, the property owner shall provide landscaping around the
base or support structures of such a sign to visually screen the pole, subject
to sight distance requirements, as approved by the community development
director.
b. Repairs and maintenance.
Normal repairs and maintenance may be made; however, the cost of such repairs
and/or maintenance made during any two-year period shall not exceed fifty (50)

exclusive access drive or residentially designated area are prohibited.
Facades fronting such roads, drives, or areas shall be designed to
incorporate architectural elements providing breaks in the planes of exterior
walls and/or roofs to articulate the building and to lessen the appearance of
excessive mass. Facades should incorporate elements relating to human
scale, and can be divided by use of: proportional expression of structure,
openings, arcades, canopies, fenestration, changes in materials, cornice
details, molding details, changes in the heights of different sections of the
building, and the like (stepping or sloping of a parapet wall in conjunction

of colors allowed, and include all base building and secondary building
colors. Use of metallic colors (i.e,: gold, silver, bronze, chrome, etc) and use
of garish colors, such as fluorescent colors (e.g. hot pink, shocking yellow),
are prohibited. Trim colors shall not exceed ten (10) percent of the surface
area of any one building facade elevation. Where trim colors are used in a
building facade sign, the trim color area of the facade sign shall be included
in the percentage limitation on the trim color surface area.
d. Roof colors (requirements for roofs that are visible from a roadway
and/or residentially designated area).
Metal roof colors shall be limited to the colors listed in the Roseland
Corridor Master Color List's "Metal Roof Colors." These colors consist of
natural mill finish, white, light neutral colors in the warm range, blue, and a
limited number of earth -tone colors. Mixing or alternating colors of metal
panels is prohibited. For non-metal roofs, other than natural variations in
color or color blends within a tile, the mixing or alternating of roof color in
the same roof material is prohibited. Colors and color blends shall not be
contrary to the intent of this code. Color for roofing which is glazed, slurry
coated, or artificially colored on the surface by any other means shall be
limited to the same colors as approved for metal roofs.
The color requirements listed above shall not apply to the colors of true
natural finish materials such as brick, stone, terra cotta, concrete roof tiles,
slate, integrally colored concrete masonry units, copper, and wood. Colors
commonly found in natural materials are acceptable, unless such material
has been artificially colored in a manner which would be contrary to the
intent of these requirements. Black, gray, blue, or extremely dark colors for
brick, concrete masonry units, roofing, wood or stone is prohibited. (This
provision shall not prohibit the use of colors for natural finish roofing
materials that match those colors approved for metal roofs.)
f. Awning colors.
Awning colors may include base building colors and/or secondary building colors
and/or trim colors. However, secondary building colors and trim color area used for

*Note: The intent of the hedge and berm combination is to provide a visual screen four (4)
feet high above the grade of the project site parking area. Therefore, at the time of a
certificate of occupancy (CO) for the project site, the combination of berming and hedging
shall provide a four feet visual screen. Undulations in the berm and corresponding hedge
height are encouraged.
Hedge shrubs shall be planted no further apart than twenty-four (24) inches on center, in a
serpentine pattern along the length of the buffer strip. Berms shall have a slope no steeper
than three (3) horizontal to one vertical, and shall be continuous along the length of the
buffer strip, except where berm modifications may be necessary for tree preservation as
determined by the community development director or his designee.
To provide a less formal appearance, clustering trees along the buffer strip is encouraged and
uniform spacing of trees is discouraged, except where used to emphasize a particular
planting theme or development style.
(See Figure F-4 at the end of section 911.18)
0) Landscape buffer along other streets in the corridor.
In addition to standard Chapter 926 requirements for landscaping between rights-of-way and
parking areas, landscape strips within the corridor must also contain two (2) understory trees
for every thirty (30) lineal feet of the required landscape strip.

b. The following modifications are allowed upon approval from the community
development director or his designee:
Foundation planting strips may be located away from buildings to avoid
conflicts with architectural features (e.g., roof overhangs), driveways, and
vehicular areas serving drive -up windows.
2. The depth of foundation planting strips may be modified if the overall
minimum area covered by the foundation plantings proposed meets or
exceeds the area encompassed by a typical layout.

As referenced in the architectural/building standards section of this plan, "blank facade"
building faces that are unarticulated are allowed if foundation plantings are provided as
specified above with a one hundred (100) percent increase (doubling) in required plant
material quantities (as specified above).
(See Figures F-7 through F-9 at the end of section 911.19, also attached in Appendix A)
Planting native vegetation for landscaping purposes is encouraged. See Appendix B for a
table of plants endemic to the Roseland area.
(3) NOTIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SENT TO FRIENDS OF HISTORIC ROSELAND.
The County will notify the President of the Friends of Historic Roseland of proposed commercial and
industrial projects in the corridor. The President of the Friends of Historic Roseland will be notified
by planning staff of the dates of pre -application conferences, Technical Review Committee, Planning
and Zoning Commission, and Board of County Commissioners meetings at which proposals for non-
residential development within the corridor are reviewed.
Staff will work with applicants to ensure that every effort is made to save protected trees. No
protected trees shall be removed unless it is absolutely necessary to accommodate a proposed site
plan. In addition, staff will encourage developers to follow the voluntary architectural guidelines
found in the Roseland Corridor Plan.
(4) SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL, MINOR SITE PLAN PROJECTS.
In the Roseland Corridor plan area, non-residential and mixed use development and re -development
that require administrative approval or minor site plan approval shall comply with the previously
described special regulations for new major development, within the administrative approval or
minor site plan project's area of development/redevelopment. The project's area of
development/redevelopment is the area of the site containing buildings, additions, structures,
facilities or improvements proposed by the applicant or required to serve those items proposed by the
applicant. As an example, a small building addition that requires additional parking spaces would
result in a project area of development/redevelopment that includes the addition and the parking lot
addition and adjacent required landscape areas.

Within the Roseland Corridor Plan area, legally established existing development and uses that do not
comply with these special regulations are grandfathered -in under the countywide nonconformities
regulations of LDR Chapter 904. All nonconforming uses and structures are governed by the LDR
Chapter 904 regulations.
In addition, within the Roseland corridor plan area the following non -conformities regulations shall
apply:
(a) Nonconforming property.
It is the intent of this chapter to allow nonconforming properties to continue, but also to encourage
their conformity to what shall be referred to as a "compatible property." A "compatible property"
shall be considered in compliance with the intent of the Roseland Corridor special regulations. For
the purposes of the Roseland Corridor special regulations, "compatible property" is defined as any
property, with improvements permitted prior to adoption of these special regulations, that conforms
to the Roseland Corridor landscape buffer, color, and signage requirements of these special
regulations.
(b) Continuance of nonconforming property.
A nonconforming property may be continued, subject to the following provisions:
Use of nonconforming structures abandoned for a period of twelve (12) or more
consecutive months (cross-reference LDR section 904.08) located on a
nonconforming property shall not be permitted until the property is brought into
compliance with the requirements of a compatible property.
Except as otherwise provided herein, there may be a change of tenancy or ownership
of a nonconforming property, without the loss of nonconforming status, if use of the
nonconforming structures is not abandoned for a period of twelve (12) or more
consecutive months.
Colors of a structure located on a nonconforming property shall not be changed from
those existing at the time of the adoption of these special regulations, unless the
new, to -be -painted colors comply with the Roseland special color regulations.
4. Projects on nonconforming properties requiring a building permit (excluding permits
for roofs or minor repairs or improvements required by law) shall be required to
bring the property into compliance as a "compatible property."
A structure located on a nonconforming property shall not be enlarged or increased
in any way from its lawful size at the time of the adoption of these special
regulations. Where such changes are made, a building permit and compliance with
the requirements of a "compatible property" are required for the enlargement or
addition.
(6) VARIANCES.
(a) Variances from these special corridor regulations shall be processed pursuant to the
procedures and timeframes of Section 70.001, Florida Statutes. The planning and zoning

commission shall recommend variances to the board of county commissioners for final
action.
(b) The planning and zoning commission is authorized to propose settlements of claims under
Chapter 70, Florida Statutes, through any means set out in section 70.001(4)(c).
(c) Criteria. The planning and zoning commission shall not approve a variance or other proposal
for relief unless it finds the following:
The corridor regulation directly restricts or limits the use of real property such that
the property owner is permanently unable to attain a reasonable, investment -backed
expectation for the existing use of the real property or a vested right to a specific use
of the real property with respect to the real property as a whole; or
That the property owner is left with existing or vested uses that are unreasonable
such that the property owner bears permanently a disproportionate share of a burden
imposed for the good of the public, which in fairness should be borne by the public
at large; and
The relief granted protects the public interest served by the regulations at issue and
is the appropriate relief necessary to prevent the corridor regulations from
inordinately burdening the real property.
(7) VOLUNTARY GUIDELINES.
(a) The following voluntary architectural guidelines are established to encourage, through
private and public investment, the development of the Roseland Corridor as a cohesive,
functional and aesthetic whole. The guidelines contain standards addressing components of
the physical development of structures in the corridor. Based upon location, history,
environmental attributes, historic resources and character, these guidelines reflect an
architectural theme using elements found throughout Florida's past, referred to as "Old
Florida" style.
General criteria.
Besides defining the community's low density, low rise character, building heights
should relate to open spaces to allow sufficient light and ventilation, effective use of
prevailing winds for cooling, enhancement of views and minimizing the obstruction
of views to adjoining structures and other locations.
Buildings should be designed to lessen the appearance of excessive bulk.
Ostentatious or overly -prominent building shapes that are out of harmony in context
with their visual environment, including adjacent structures and the landscaped
framework, are discouraged.
The surfaces of enclosing walls of large-scale commercial structures should
incorporate elements relating to the scale of pedestrian movement and view. Vertical
enclosing walls should be sub -divided into clearly visible bays, each a minimum of
sixty (60) feet in width.
The use of the following devices for establishing scale is encouraged:

b. Scored joints;
C, Surface articulation or subdivision of vertical surfaces into distinct areas;
d. Rhythmic use of openings (doors, windows, etc.);
e. Scale and proportion of facade;
f. Use of signage to establish scale and proportion;
g. Installation of landscape elements in front of walls to break up long wall
expanses and sloped or otherwise articulated roof lines to develop visual
interest at the roof level.
a. Roofs: The use of vernacular materials such as standing seam metal or
wood shake shingles is encouraged. Roof pitch should range from 8:12 to
12:12 for primary roofs, and lower pitch for arcades or overhangs.
b. Doors/windows: Doors and windows should be symmetrical in placement,
and should be true divided lite [light]. Casing trim should be four (4) to six
(6) inches and workable shutters sized to fit windows are encouraged.
C, Siding: Siding should be wood horizontal or vertical boards or shake.
d. Porches/arcades: The use of wide overhangs which create porch or arcade -
like features is strongly encouraged. For instance, commercial buildings
should provide front walkways which are a minimum of ten (10) feet wide.
This width accommodates two (2) to three (3) abreast pedestrian traffic
while allowing for entrance door swing area. Awnings are also encouraged
to add color and textural interest to buildings.
