of the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan will be sent under separate cover.
NOTE:
The "Redevelopment Area" Design Guidelines (LDRs) are basically the same as
those of the "New Development Area" Design Guidelines that were reviewed at
the September 4, 1996 P & Z meeting.
APPLICABLE LA W/PUBLIC POLICY:
*
*
~
The provisions of 163.3167(11) Florida Statutes which states in part, . . . "Each
local government is encouraged to articulate a vision ofthe future physical
appearance and qualities of its community as a component of its local
comprehensive plan."
*
The provisions of 163.3167(11) Florida Statutes which states in part, . . . "The
vision should be developed through a collaborative planning process with
meaningful public participation. . . ."
The provisions of 163.3202(3) F.S. which states in part, "These and all other such
regulations (land development regulations) shall be combined and compiled into a
single Land Development Code for the jurisdiction."
The provisions of 163.3174(c) F.S. which states in part, [that one of the duties of
the Local Planning Agency] is to, "Review proposed land development
regulations, land development codes, or amendments thereto, and make
recommendations to the governing body as to the consistenCy of the proposal With
__ the aitoRte.d. comprehensive plan or element ox, pj>rtion thereof . . "
*
*
BACKGROUND:
The provisions of Section 20-57 of the City Code which states in part, 'The
Planning and Zoning Board (which also is designated the Local Planning Agency)
shall serve as the planning and zoning commission. It shall be the duty of the
Planning and Zoning Board to recommend to the City Commission the boundaries
of the various original zoning districts and appropriate regulations to be enforce
therein and any proposed amendments thereto. . ."
The LPA must hold at least one Public Hearing (per 163.3174 F.S.) in order to
make recommendation to the City Commission concerning the proposed LDRs.
*
The City Commission on February 06, 1995 voted to institute the State
Road 434 Corridor Visioning Project.
*
Berryman & Henigar held a Visioning Workshop on May 20, 1995.
*
Draft Vision Plan Schematic was submitted to the City by Berryman &
Henigar.
*
McIntosh & Associates submitted a draft State Road 434 Corridor Overlay
Design Standards in July 1995 for their clients, State Road 434 property
owners.
*
Meetings were held in March to June between City staff, Berryman &
Henigar and McIntosh & Associates on review of State Road 434 Corridor
Overlay Design Standards.
*
Staff and the consultant have developed an Overlay District Land
Development Regulation that provides for the Overlay District Boundary,
new development district design guidelines, town center design guidelines
and redevelopment district guidelines.
*
To date, the Overlay District boundary section, and new development area
design guidelines have been completed.
*
On July 15, ] 996, the Commission held a workshop on the State Road 434
Corridor Visioning Project and (1) agreed by consensus that the S.R. 434
corridor should remain commercial but that there does need to be some
flexibility to address exceptions and the Commission would address the
exceptions on an individual basis, (2) that there should be separate Design
Guidelines for the Redevelopment Area and the Town Center and (3) The
Town Center Guidelines would be expedited and completed before the
Redevelopment Area Guidelines.
* The City Commission has held various workshops to review the recommendation
of the Planning & Zoning Board and the drafts of the "New Development Area"
and "Town Center" Design Guidelines.
* The City Commission has held the first reading of Ordinance 670 on July 14,
1997to create the "New Development Area" Overlay District of the S.R. 434
Corridor Vision Plan.
* The City Commission passed motion at its June 9, 1997 meeting, to "approve the
second reading of Ordinance 661 (creating a Town Center Overlay District) and
not to include any of the Schrimsher property (on the east side of Tuskawilla
Road) subsequent to a Developer Agreement and also to add 'pedestrian access'
to 8-a on page II as it was left out."
ANALYSIS:
The draft Land Development Regulations for the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Project will be in
addition to existing Future Land Use Map and Zoning regulatiem.s. These regulations will apply
within the Overlay zone. It is intended that the vision statement and the goals, objectives and
policies will become a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The specific regulations will
become a part of Chapter 20 "Zoning" in the City Code. This draft represents a reasonable
compromise on a number of different issues discussed at the committee meetings between City
staff, the property owners and McIntosh & Associates. It should be noted that jlS proposed the
Overlay District would encompass all of the property of those properties that abut the edge of the
S.R. 434 right-of-way. As a result, the Overlay District will have some significantly varying
depths from the right-of-way. There was some significant disagreement on this issue at the
committee meetings, but the view was that if the developers and property owners are willing to
include all their property in such a zone with the additional restrictions/regulations then it would
be recommended that the zone follow the abutting property boundaries.
The draft "Redevelopment Area" Design Guidelines (LDRs) for the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision
Plan were developed through several session between property and business owners, in the
Redevelopment Area, that expressed an interest, City staff, and the consultant. The Design
Guidelines for the "New Development Area" were used as a basis. The various changes to the
"New Development Area" and "Town Center" Design Guidelines were discussed with the
Redevelopment Area Design Guidelines Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Board recommend to the City Commission the
adoption of the draft Design Guidelines for the "Redevelopment Araa" (in yellow).

(2) The narrowest dimension of a lot adjoining a road right-of-way shall determine its front for
the purpose of establishing yard requirements.
(3) On comer lots, the front yard shall be considered as abutting the street upon which the lot
has its least dimension. The rear lot, in this case, shall be opposite the front yard.
(4) The following structures are specifically excluded from the setback restrictions:
a. Steps and walks.
b. Landscaping and landscape berms.
c. Planters three (3) feet in height or less, or
d. Other improvements as may be permitted under applicable regulations of the City..
The City will consider any request for the placement of such other improvel}lents within a
setback; only after a Development Review Committee review and recommendation. In
determining whether to recommend City consent, the Development Review Committee may
consider; without limiting the scope of their review, the following: (1) the extent to which
any hardship exists that would justify a variance from the normal setback requirements; (ii)
the aesthetics of the proposed improvements and their visibility from common roads and .
adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or objections of adjacent property owners; and (iv) the
nature and use of the proposed improvements. It is the owner's burden and responsibility to
provide such information and documentation as may be requested by the Development
Review Committee in order to justify to the Development Review Committee that the
intrusion of additional improvements within the normal setbacks is beneficial to the corridor
and will not adversely affect adjacent property owners.
