(2)

Minimum lot or site size. The minimum lot or site size shall be as specified by the underlying zoning district.

(3)

Residential and office uses. Residential and office uses shall be permitted above the first floor of any legally established non-residential use.

(4)

Density bonus for donation of land. An increase in residential density above the maximum density established by the underlying zoning district shall be available for the donation of land for public park space, conservation areas, or other public facilities subject to the following criteria:

(a)

Areas proposed for donation may be subtracted from the total project area for purposes of calculating residential density.

(b)

Areas proposed for donation may be located within the Crawfordville Town Plan Overlay District.

(c)

Areas proposed for donation of less than one acre shall be physically contiguous to a larger system of planned or existing recreation or conservation areas.

(d)

Areas proposed for donation for purposes of receiving a density bonus shall be approved by the board of county commissioners.

(e)

Gross project density shall not exceed the maximum density established by the underlying future land use designation.

(5)

Density bonus for "green" buildings. An increase in residential density of five percent shall be available for certification of on-site developments as LEED, FGBC, or similar nationally recognized "green" building standard. This density bonus shall be requested by the applicant during the county's site plan and/or preliminary plat processes. In order to qualify, all buildings in the development, except for accessory buildings, or the development itself shall receive certification. The proposed project density shall not exceed the maximum density established by the future land use designation.

(6)

Density bonus for low impact development. An increase in residential density of five percent shall be available for use of bioretention, green roofs, permeable pavers, cisterns, or other innovative, permanent stormwater improvements affecting at least 50 percent of a site's post-development impervious area. This density bonus shall be requested by the applicant during the county's site plan and/or preliminary plat processes. The proposed project density shall not exceed the maximum density established by the future land use designation.

(7)

Impact fee exemption. As an incentive to encourage development within the Crawfordville Area District, which will result in the more economical and efficient provision of public infrastructure, new development within the Crawfordville Area District shall be exempt from any impact fees that may be imposed by the county. This exemption does not include any sewer connection fees that may be assessed.

(8)

Transit. Development projects that will generate 200 or more p.m. peak hour trips shall submit a plan that addresses future transit stops. Accommodations for transit stops and/or ride sharing facilities may be used to reduce trip generation subject to submittal of a traffic study and approval by the planning and community development department.

(9)

Sidewalks.

(a)

All new developments, including changes in use that increase parking requirements and additions or alterations that exceed 50 percent of the existing on-site impervious area, shall provide sidewalks along all public and private streets adjoining the development. This requirement shall not apply to the construction or alteration of a single-family residence constructed on an existing lot of record. The sidewalk shall be located as follows: when sufficient right-of-way exists, the sidewalk shall be located within the public right-of-way; when sufficient right-of-way does not exist, the sidewalk shall be located at an alternative location parallel to the right-of-way or elsewhere on the development property, if approved by the planning and community development department. For those developments where sidewalks cannot be located within the public right-of-way, the developer must provide and record in the public records of Wakulla County, all easements necessary to guarantee public access to the sidewalk.

(b)

Non-residential and multi-family residential development shall provide safe and efficient sidewalk linkages between building entrances and parking areas, adjacent portions of the development, and adjacent rights-of-way. At least one accessible route in accordance with the Florida Accessibility Code shall connect buildings to parking areas and adjacent rights-of-way.

(c)

Non-residential and multi-family developments shall provide internal sidewalk interconnection between adjacent non-residential and multi-family developments. This requirement does not apply to development proposals where the building entrance is located within 30 feet of a sidewalk along an adjacent right-of-way serving both developments, where the length of the common property boundary of the two adjacent developments is less than 50 feet, where construction or use of the sidewalk would have an adverse affect on a conservation feature, or where a sidewalk would create a safety hazard.

(d)

Sidewalks shall be constructed on at least one side of all streets within proposed residential and non-residential subdivisions where the average lot size is one-half acre or less. Sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of all streets within proposed residential or non-residential subdivisions where the average lot size is one-quarter acre or less.

(e)

All sidewalks shall conform to Florida Department of Transportation requirements and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines. Sidewalks constructed along arterial and collector roadways shall be a minimum of five feet in width. Sidewalks along all other roadways and internal to sites shall be a minimum of four feet in width.

(10)

Interconnection. Non-residential, multi-family, and mixed use developments shall be designed to require vehicular and pedestrian cross access to adjacent commercial, office, multi-family, recreation, and community facility uses to reduce the necessity of using the public street system in order to move between adjacent and complimentary land uses. The developer shall design and build the appropriate cross-access to the property line of the adjacent parcel, unless found infeasible by the planning and community development director due to physical conditions of property or due to existing development. Shared access points, rather than individual access points, on public or private streets shall be encouraged where it is determined that such shared access points would protect capacity on adjoining roadways or be in the interest of public safety.

(11)

Maximum driveway width.

(a)

The maximum width of a driveway serving a one- or two-family dwelling shall be 20 feet.

(b)

The maximum width of a driveway serving all uses other than a one- or two-family dwelling shall be 20 feet for a one-way driveway and 40 feet for a two-way driveway.

(12)

The overall architectural style of a building's facade shall incorporate design elements and details that promote pedestrian scale. These architectural standards shall be further detailed in a county administrative regulation and shall be enforced by the planning director. Request for approval of architectural improvements shall be submitted as part of the site plan and/or preliminary plat review.

a.

Building facades. Building facades shall not be uniform in mass, scale, or height. Large, unadorned, uninterrupted, and/or uniform monolithic facades and blank wall facades are prohibited when visible from public rights-of-way. Facades shall be designed to include projections and recesses at varying depths and using consistent and integrated architectural style, detail, and trim features. Pedestrian scale facade treatments such as, but not limited to, canopies, overhangs, arcades, porches, and entryways or porticos are required.

b.

Roof forms. Articulated and sloping roof forms which provide visual interest shall be required. This may include the incorporation of gabled roofs, hipped roofs, and the use of dormers. Multiple roof slope planes are encouraged. Flat roofs are prohibited when visible from road rights-of-way, except in entrance canopies, storage and mechanical equipment areas, arcades, and walkways or breezeway connections that provide pedestrian protection from the weather.

(Ord. No. 2012-21, § 2, 8-20-2012; Ord. No. 2023-31, § 2, 11-20-2023)

(1)

Vehicular parking. The number of required vehicular parking spaces may be reduced by 50 percent below the standards of section 6-14 of this Code. Public parking and shared parking within 1,000 feet of the property may be counted toward a site's required parking. Construction of required parking may be provided in the form of on-street parking within county right-of-way, along the perimeter of the site, provided sufficient right-of-way exists. This allowance shall only apply to local roads and shall be situated in a manner that provides a buffer between the vehicular thoroughfare and pedestrian areas.

(2)

Bicycle parking. On-site bicycle parking shall be provided at a rate of 0.15 spaces for every one required on-site vehicular parking space.

(3)

The minimum front building setback for non-residential or mixed use structures, other than accessory structures, may be reduced to zero feet, except along Crawfordville Highway. The minimum side building setback for non-residential or mixed use structures, other than accessory structures, may be reduced to zero feet if the existing use on the adjacent property for which the reduced setback is proposed is also non-residential or mixed use.

(4)

Building coverage. Maximum building coverage may be increased by 25 percent above the maximum specified by the underlying zoning district unless, otherwise established by a Crawfordville zoning district of sections 5-64 through 5-69.

(5)

Building coverage incentive for design enhancements. In addition to the 25 percent increase in building coverage for development in the district of section 5-63(4), maximum building coverage may be increased an additional ten percent for each of the following:

a.

Screened parking. All parking spaces are located outside of area between the front of the building and the adjacent right-of-way.

b.

Shared parking. At least half of the site's parking spaces are shared with an off-site use and are so designated in a legally binding shared parking agreement.

c.

Enhanced landscaping. Provision of integrated streetscape design, including trees and seating along collector and arterial streets.

d.

Low impact development. Use of bioretention, green roofs, permeable pavers, cisterns, or other innovative, permanent stormwater improvements addressing at least 50 percent of a site's post-development impervious area.

e.
