The purpose of this Article is to provide development design and improvements standards applicable to all development activity within the Village.

All improvements required by this Article shall be designed, installed, and paid for by the Developer.

The provisions of this Article are intended to ensure functional and attractive development. Development design shall first take into account the protection of natural resources as prescribed in Article IV of this Code. All development shall be designed to avoid unnecessary impervious surface cover; to provide adequate access to lots and sites; and to avoid adverse effects of shadow, glare, noise, odor, traffic, drainage, and utilities on surrounding properties. To the maximum extent feasible, land uses shall be compatible with adjacent uses, and buffer areas may be necessary to minimize impacts.

In addition, during land disturbance activity, construction sites shall be required to reduce soil erosion by [the] best management practices feasible, including use of hay bales, mulching and grassing.

A.

Requirements for All Developments. All developments shall have a total land area sufficient to meet all development design standards in this Code including, but not limited to, land required to provide setbacks from abutting rights-of-way, buffers, stormwater management, off-street parking and circulation, protection of environmentally sensitive lands, and any other provisions which may require land area to be set aside.

In general, buildings shall not exceed one and two stores [stories]; provided, however, that the total square footage area of the second story of the two-story buildings shall not exceed 35% of the total square footage area of the first floor of all buildings erected in the planned business center. It shall be further provided that a relatively small mezzanine may be included in a one-story supermarket and which mezzanine area shall neither be included in the area of the one story buildings nor be included in the second floor area of the two story buildings in determining the limitations hereunder.

(2)

Area. The building or buildings erected on the designated plot shall not cover more than 35% of the land area.

(3)

Buffer area. A landscaped area shall be established between the Planned Business Center and the residential area or district, said landscaped area to consist of not less than three (3) feet of land around the north and west perimeter of the designated plot, which shall be so landscaped with high massive plantings as to substantially isolate the Planned Business Center from the residential district. Said buffer area shall also be subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 of this section.

(4)

Roof cornices. Roof cornices constructed of fire resistant material ten (10) feet or more above the sidewalk, may project over an installed sidewalk area. The construction and anchorage of such projection shall be subject to approval of the Village Building Inspector and may be erect [erected] only upon proper permit issued by the Village Building Inspector who shall have the right, when the public welfare so requires, to curtail and restrain permissive cornice construction otherwise allowable hereunder.

(5)

Design. All business buildings and landscaping constructed and/or installed in this use category shall be of approved construction and shall be designed with every practical consideration for esthetics and appearance, fire protection, health, light, [and] air; and all plans and specifications of said buildings shall be approved in advance by the zoning board (reviewable by the Village Council) before the Village Building Inspector is permitted to issue a building permit thereof.

(6)

Subdivision. Any subdividing of the present acreage located in the commercial category shall be subject to prior approval by the Village Council.

(7)

Sanitary service. It shall be the responsibility of the owners of business property within this use category to provide at their own expense all facilities and other needful devices including pipes, conduit and connections for sanitary service to the commercial properties developed hereunder. The installation, operation and maintenance of such sanitary service facilities shall be subject to and accomplished in accordance with all pertinent rules and regulations imposed in regard thereto by complete authority.

(8)

Parking area lighting. It shall be the duty of the owners of the business property designated hereunder to provide proper lighting, including private parking area lighting on the private property involved. Such lighting shall be approved by the Village Building Inspector with the view of reducing to a practical minimum any objectionable effect on the surrounding residential area. Such lighting services shall not be the fiscal responsibility of the Village.

(14)

Special dissipator and arrestor for smoke and fumes. No restaurant or other place of business emitting smoke or fumes shall be operated in this Commercial area unless and until there shall first have been installed a smoke and fumes arrestor or dissipator of an efficient washed air design; said device to be installed in the stack or other opening where the smoke or fumes are ejected, all to the end that the air in the nearby residential area shall not be polluted. All such devices shall be subject to the approval of the Village Building Inspector.

(15)

Site development plan. No building or structure shall be erected or altered, or any land used, or any change of use consummated, nor shall any building permit be issued therefor, unless and until a site development plan for such building, structure and/or use shall have been checked by the enforcing official for conformity with this Code. Such site development plan shall include in proper form, detail, dimension and scale the following:

(a)

The location, character, size and height of all buildings, structures and uses on the plot, including walls, fences and landscaping.

B.

If any or all existing structures on a lot are being, or have been, demolished in preparation for new development in accordance with a valid development order and/or building permit, and the construction of a principal structure has not commenced within 30 days after the demolition has been completed, the owner of the lot shall install drought-resistant sod or drought-resistant ground cover and shall restore the lot to its pre-demolition elevation, brush-cut the lot, and keep the lot free of debris, trash, and invasive plant materials until start of the permitted construction.

(Ord. No. 2021-02, § 3, 9-22-21)

Off-street parking facilities shall be provided for all development within the Village pursuant to the requirements of this Code. The facilities shall be maintained as long as the use exists that the facilities were designed to serve.

In all cases the strictest of the applicable standards shall apply.

In addition, since the stormwater management Level of Service (LOS) standards adopted in the Village Comprehensive Plan are met by the permitting requirements already established by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), it is therefore required that all nonexempt development receive appropriate permits from the DER and SFWMD before a permit is issued by the Village.

Where feasible, stormwater should be directed into grassy swales for pretreatment prior to discharge into the Lakes.

The grading of all properties shall be designed so that the average grade elevation of the lot, other than the building's footprint, shall not exceed the average elevation along the center line of the street pavement on which it fronts, unless the base floor elevation established by FEMA is higher than the centerline of the street. Proposed elevations along property boundaries on any site plan shall match the adjacent lands, or shall include features that cause no storm runoff to flow across any of the property's boundaries.

(Ord. No. 2023-02, § 4, 5-17-23)

A.

Design Principles. All landscaped areas should conform to the following general design principles:

1.

Landscaping should integrate the proposed development into existing site features through consideration of existing topography, hydrology, soils and vegetation.

2.

The functional elements of the development plan, particularly the drainage systems and internal circulation systems for vehicles and pedestrians, should be integrated into the landscaping plan.

3.

Landscaping should be used to minimize potential erosion through the use of ground covers or any other type of landscape material that aids in soil stabilization.

4.

Existing native vegetation should be preserved and used to meet landscaping requirements.

5.

Landscaping should enhance the visual environment through the use of materials that achieve variety with respect to seasonal changes, species of living material selected, textures, colors and size at maturity.

6.

Landscaping design should consider the aesthetic and functional aspects of vegetation, both when initially installed and when the vegetation has reached maturity. Newly installed plants should be placed at intervals appropriate to the size of the plant at maturity, and the design should use short- and long-term elements to satisfy the general design principles of this section over time.

7.

Landscaping should enhance public safety and minimize nuisances.

8.

Landscaping should be used to provide windbreaks, channel wind and increase ventilation.

9.

Landscaping should maximize the shading of streets and vehicle use areas.

10.

The selection and placement of landscaping materials should consider the effect on existing or future solar access, of enhancing the use of solar radiation, and of conserving the maximum amount of energy. No development plan shall be denied solely on the basis of the design principles in this section.

B.

Xeriscape. All new development and redevelopment shall, to the maximum extent feasible incorporate xeriscape into all landscaping.
