Setbacks. Where any side or rear lot line adjoins (excluding roads) a residential- or agricultural-zoned property or an existing residential use, then no building shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of said lot line.

(b)

Buffering. A thirty-five (35) foot wide buffer screened at 80% opacity at a height of six (6) feet above finished made shall run along each rear and/or side property line which abuts any residential or agricultural zoned property. This buffer shall be screened through the use of landscape planting and landscape berms, and may be augmented through the use of fences or walls, existing natural vegetation, and/or a combination thereof. The County may require the use of absorptive noise barrier walls for commercial noise reduction.

(7)

The applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed use is appropriate to the property in question, is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area, and demonstrate compliance with the County Comprehensive Plan.

(8)

Additional standards for commercial development with any single user occupying and/or using greater than 65,000 square feet of moss floor area:

(a)

The proposed site shall front on at least one road functionally classified on the county's comprehensive plan as arterial or greater. Furthermore, at least one (I) vehicle access point shall directly access and connect to said functionally classified arterial (or greater) roadway.

(b)

The master plan shall demonstrate at least two vehicular access points providing adequate ingress and egress with appropriate turn lanes, intersection improvements, signage and signalization (as may be required) to accommodate the traffic impacts of the project. In addition, the County Engineer may require a traffic study prepared according to professionally accepted standards, utilizing original data from similar uses if required by the County Engineer, in conjunction with the application addressing traffic impacts from the project and making specific recommendations to maintain adequate roadway capacities and adequate ingress and egress to and from the site.

(c)

Any commercial development meeting the terms of this subsection located within 2,500 feet of any public school (as measured along the route of normal pedestrian travel from property line to property line) shall prepare and submit at the time of application a traffic and pedestrian safety plan for review and approval by the county. The plan must identify safety conflicts and deficiencies, and include recommended mitigation measures as necessary. In addition to satisfying the requirements of this subsection, the plan must demonstrate to the governing body that adequate provisions have been made to maintain safe and adequate pedestrian and traffic circulation.

(d)

The site design shall provide that pedestrian circulation is coordinated on-site and between adjacent properties for the purpose of providing for pedestrian circulation between complimentary uses.

(e)

All internal walkways shall comply with Florida Accessibility Code design standards. Additionally, all internal pedestrian walkways shall be distinguished from driving surfaces through the use of durable, low maintenance surface materials such as pavers, scored concrete or stamped asphalt to the extent not inconsistent with said standards.

(f)

Transit facilities, including, but limited to bus stops, pull out lanes, transit related signage, shelters and bicycle racks for transit users, shall be provided as determined by the County to accommodate transit service.

In the PDP (Corporate Park) District outdoor storage may be approved if specifically designated or specified in the narrative or on the master plan, or as a Special Exception use provided the outdoor storage is confined to a portion of the property which shall be screened by an opaque fence, wall of opaque landscaping at a height that will effectively screen the storage from adjoining streets and properties. No outside storage is allowed within the minimum building setback from an adjoining street.
