Sec. 12-235. - PD Planned Development zoning regulations.

(a)

Scope and purpose. The purpose of the PD, Planned Development zoning district is to provide an alternative method of land development not available within the framework of the other zoning districts of the city. This classification may be assigned to land which is to be developed as a whole or in a single development, or programmed series of development operations, utilizing innovative design techniques not possible through the structure of other zoning districts of the city, for the purpose of achieving one or more of the following development objectives:

(1)

To preserve or be otherwise sensitive to significant environmental or topographical features which exist on the site.

(2)

To accommodate a single or a mixture of uses on one or more parcels of land with single or multiple ownerships, zoned, approved, operated and developed as a single unit and made internally and externally compatible through use limitations, sign control, cross easements for access and utilities, coordinated building orientation, design, aesthetics and buffering, with principal and accessory structures substantially related to the character of the development and the context of the neighborhood of which they are a part.

(3)

To accommodate a comprehensively planned and phased redevelopment or infill project involving a single or multiple ownerships to create interrelated mixed uses, circulation patterns (both vehicular and pedestrian), building orientation, parking areas, architectural motif, signs, open space, amenity areas and like features, which positively contribute to the area being redeveloped and the city.

(4)

To allow for a conceptual level of approval for PD districts while maintaining design flexibility for projects which may either be large with lengthy build out schedules or is the first development in an area without public utilities and services. The project is approved in two (2) steps: a rezoning to PD with a conceptual site plan as approved by city council; and a subsequent detailed final site plan to be approved by city council.

(5)

A rezoning application for a planned development (PD) zoning district shall be submitted consistent with the requirements of this section.

(6)

To capture internally as many trips as possible within the boundaries of a single development by combining mixed residential, commercial, research, and office uses, and by reducing trip lengths thereby encouraging nonmotorized travel. The intent of this provision is to reduce the impact of planned developments on vehicular traffic congestion. Planned developments shall be designed according to comprehensive plans which provide for interrelated uses, circulation patterns (both vehicular and pedestrian), streets, utilities, lots, building orientation, parking areas, architectural motif, signs, open space, amenity areas and like features with a program to provide for the maintenance and operation of all such areas. Planned developments must also provide improvements and facilities for the common use of all or some of the occupants of the development and a provision for the maintenance and operation of all necessary services which the city does not agree, in writing, to provide, maintain or operate.

(b)

Permitted uses. The type or types of land uses permitted must be consistent in all respects with the comprehensive plan, and the City Code; and such uses, including adaptive reuse, shall be found to be so located and arranged to ensure complete compatibility among themselves, with adjacent existing or future land uses, public facilities, services, and utilities.

(c)

Density/intensity. The density/intensity for a PD project shall not exceed that which is permitted by the land use category in which the parcel is located as per the adopted land use plan.

(d)

Dimensional regulations. Building setbacks and height shall be designed using those prescribed in division 2, specific zoning districts as a guideline. Flexibility in setbacks for nonresidential projects will be allowed provided there is adequate space for site improvements and fire access; that there is no adverse impact on surrounding properties and there is adequate distance between structures and public or private streets for residential projects. Flexibility in building height will be allowed provided that they are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood; and provide increased setbacks to compensate for added building height.

(e)

Additional application requirements.

(1)

A conceptual plan without complete preliminary plan or construction plan details, but includes items, such as, but not limited to, the overall layout of the proposed development, maximum density (residential units per acre), maximum intensity (floor area ratio). Maximum building height(s), building setbacks, building elevations, general location of stormwater management facilities, typical lot size and dimensions, ingress and egress points, internal streets and design, open space/recreational/preservation areas, landscape and buffer areas, etc.

(2)

A detailed textual statement explaining how the development will fit in the area, connect with surrounding properties, address multi-modal transportation within and adjacent to the site, identify all proposed uses, provide a list of requested waivers, and address other items within the planned development, including all restrictions, covenants, limitations, hours of operation, rules, regulations, and such other data and information as the city shall require. Upon approval by the city council, this textual statement shall become a part of or be incorporated into the conditions of approval for the planned development and final site plan or conceptual plan.

(3)

A final site plan, which is based on the conceptual plan and planned development zoning application approved by city council, shall be required to be submitted for review in accordance to sections 12-241, 12-377, 12-379, and other applicable sections of this Code after the rezoning application has been approved by city council. If a final site plan is not submitted within two (2) years of the approval of the planned development zoning, then a new rezoning application and final site plan application shall be required to be approved by city council.

(4)

If the city council determines that the plan is abandoned, or if construction is terminated after completion of any stage, or if construction is abandoned or discontinued for a period of two (2) years, or if there is evidence that further development is not contemplated, the city council may rescind or modify the ordinance establishing the planned development.

(5)

Modification of conceptual plan, final site plan, or planned development zoning district after approved by city council. After final approval of the planned development, if any change, including waivers, conditions of approval, conceptual plan, final site plan, changes of uses, etc., is requested by the applicant, the city shall evaluate whether the proposed change(s) exceeds the criteria of section 12-380 of this Code, and if so, then a new rezoning application and final site plan or conceptual plan, shall be required to be submitted for review and approval by city council.

(f)

Public hearing and zoning action.

(1)

Upon review of the final site plan or conceptual plan and proposed planned development rezoning application by the development review committee (DRC) and planning commission staff, a public hearing shall be held to obtain input on the application, in accordance with the applicable state statutes and city ordinances. (Ord. No. 1138, 4-19-2005)

(2)

Following receipt of the recommendations of the DRC, city manager or designee, and the planning commission, and upon consideration of public input obtained at the public hearing, and review of the planned development, city council shall either deny the application pursuant to section 12-193(d) or approve the zoning application with or without modifications, hearing. The development standards and conditions of approval for the site shall be approved as part the planned development zoning district, based on the conceptual plan or final site plan and textual statement or conditions of approval.

(a)

Scope and purpose.

(1)

The provisions of this section applies to the PRS district. The purpose of the PRS-Preservation zoning district shall be to designate and establish areas within the city which are deemed to be uniquely appropriate to manage only for the conservation, protection and enhancement of natural and historical resources and for resource-based public outdoor recreation. These regulations are intended to encourage preservation of lands designated as environmental preservation areas, in a natural or near natural state. Activities associated with this district are intended to be low impact, low trip generating, including little coverage of land with paved areas, and are predominantly or primarily utilized for daytime activities.

(2)

(3)

Minor utility structures such as water, sewer and electric service not including electric substations, waste treatment facilities, water treatment plants, communication towers may be utilized to service park facilities; however, any disturbance of soil must be preceded by an archaeological survey and comply with conditions set forth by the department of state division of historical resources.

(4)

Uses other than those delineated above which are determined by the director of community development to be similar in nature and/or consistent with the general purpose and intent of the established permitted uses may be approved subject to the conditions per article IX, division 5, Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection.

(5)

If archaeological and historic sites are located in this zoning district, the collection of artifacts shall comply with F.S. ch. 267 and shall be prohibited until written authorization has been obtained from the department of state, division of historical resources.

(6)

Regular maintenance of properties in the PRS Preservation zoning district may require the removal of invasive plant species and feral animals or non-native wildlife as deemed necessary. Similarly it may be deemed necessary to create firebreaks and issue prescribed burns for the health and maintenance of ecosystems. Property owners other than the city shall maintain preservation districts in a viable natural condition and shall abide by the above maintenance standards.

Prohibited in the following zoning districts: LI, PROF, PRS, and P/QP

1  Limited to a maximum of five (5) residents.

2  The total number of beds permitted in long-term care facilities shall be determined by the number of housing units, which would be permitted on site and multiplying the units by the average persons per household for Temple Terrace in the most recent U.S. Census per F.S. ch. 400. The number of units permitted on site is determined by the underlying plan category of the subject site.

3  A community residential home (CRH) (one to six (6) residents) must be one thousand (1,000) feet from another CRH (one to six (6) residents) and must be one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet from any other facility noted in this table per F.S. § 419.001(2).

4  A planned residential community (PRC) is only allowed within the Planned Development (PD) zoning district.

5  A long term care facility is a general term for the following uses: assisted living facility, adult family care home, nursing home facility or home, residential child-caring agencies, board and care facility, or any other similar adult care facility as defined by Title XXIX Public Health, F.S. chs. 381—408, and Title XX Social Welfare, F.S. chs. 409—430. This may include other uses that may not be specifically identified in this table.

The residential and health related facilities shall be prohibited in the following zoning districts: Light Industrial (LI), Planned Research and Office Facilities (PROF), Preservation (PRS), and Public/Semi-Public (P/SP).

Density calculations for such facilities shall be as follows: the total number of beds permitted in such facilities shall be determined by the number of housing units, which would be permitted on site and multiplying the units by the average persons per household for Temple Terrace in the most recent U.S. Census, and the number of units permitted on site is determined by the underlying plan category of the subject site; and the density calculations do not apply to those facilities operating within single family residences within single-family residential zoning districts.

Such facilities shall have adequate access, utilities and services and the character of the facility and building(s) shall be compatible with the surrounding development in terms of use, scale and design.

The following criteria shall apply in addition to the identification of permitted and conditional uses in the above table:

(1)

Community residential homes (CRH).

a.

A CRH with one to six (6) residents must be one thousand (1,000) feet from another CRH with one to six (6) residents and must be one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet from any other facility for all zoning districts as noted in the preceding table and in F.S. § 419.001(2), as amended.

b.

The sponsoring agency shall provide notice to the city manager or designee at the time a CRH is occupied in the city.

c.

When a site for a community residential home with one to fourteen (14) residents has been selected by a sponsoring agency in an area zoned planned development, allows multi-family residential uses in the zoning district, or allows multi-family uses on the adopted future land use map, the sponsoring agency shall provide notice via letter to the city manager and submit applications to be reviewed based on the requirements below in accordance with F.S. ch. 419, as amended:

1.

The location complies with the zoning district requirements.

2.

The application shall include the following information at a minimum:

i.

Address of the proposed facility.

ii.

Residential licensing category.

iii.

Number of residents.

iv.

Community support requirements of the facility.

v.

Statement from the licensing entity indicating the licensing status of the proposed CRH and specifying how the home meets applicable licensing criteria for the safe care and supervision of the clients in the home.

vi.

A copy of the most recently published data compiled from the licensing entities that identifies all CRH within the city limits.

vii.

A general development site plan or final site plan consistent with the requirements of sections 12-377, 12-379, and 12-193.

3.

City council is required to approve or deny such application within sixty (60) days of receipt, else the application shall be considered to be approved.

4.

Denial of community residential home applications must be based on the following criteria:

i.

Does not otherwise conform to existing zoning regulations applicable to other multi-family uses in the area.

ii.

Does not meet applicable licensing criteria established and determined by the licensing entity, including requirements that the home be located to assure the safe care and supervision of all clients in the home.

iii.

Would result in such a concentration of community residential homes in the area in proximity to the site selected, or would result in a combination of such homes with other residences in the community, such that the nature and character of the area would be substantially altered. A home that is located within a radius of one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet of another existing community residential home in a multi-family zone shall be an overconcentration of such homes that substantially alters the nature and character of the area. A home that is located within a radius of five hundred (500) feet of an area of single-family zoning substantially alters the nature and character of the area.

(2)

Planned residential communities (PRC) shall be consistent with F.S. ch. 419, as amended, including the following criteria:

a.

May contain two (2) or more community residential homes that are contiguous to one another.

b.

May not be located within a ten-mile radius of any other planned residential community (PRC).
