124.27(A) Master Plan Concepts.
124.27(A)(1) The
developed for Town Center at Weston provides a unique and pleasing environment for all proposed uses. This Master Plan was developed through a series of charettes led by Arvida/JMB Partners, the developer of Weston.
124.27(A)(2) As part of this charette series, Arvida/JMB Partners involved local architects, landscape architects, in-house land development and management personnel, members of regional planning councils and local agencies, as well as a nationally recognized planning consultant, RTKL International, Ltd. and marketing consultants. The charettes were driven by a desire for Town Center to be respectful of the adjacent communities, as well as to provide necessary services to the community (Exhibits 1 & 2). This project would be developed in a manner that would be both aesthetically pleasing and functionally responsive within the economic parameters, which would make it a successful venture for Arvida/JMB Partners. A conceptual design was the final work product of this series of charettes (Exhibit 3). This conceptual plan integrates compatible uses, vehicular circulation, pedestrian linkage, and shared recreational areas to provide visual and functional continuity for the implementation of Town Center.
124.27(A)(3) Using this conceptual Master Plan and the integration of architectural footprints as well as functionally responsive parking and service areas, an illustrative Master Plan is being prepared for Town Center, and will be submitted as part of the
of Weston's site plan review process.
124.27(A)(4) All proposed uses, paving, parking and roadways have been designed considering the highest and best use of the land, ease of access and community needs. The plan integrates all required stormwater facilities and utility/infrastructure systems.
124.27(A)(5) Key design criteria used to generate this Master Plan and critical to the success of Town Center is the use of shared parking. This shared parking criteria is important in order to minimize the amount of asphalt or non-pervious areas within Town Center and to allow for the concentration of green space to be used for buffering as well as both active and passive public activities while providing the total number of functional parking spaces required by a shared parking analysis.
124.27(B)
Standards.

The design of buildings adjacent to lakes and stormwater detention areas shall address the impact on views from across the water. All service area walls and other screening elements must be compatible with the building architecture. Large façades with no architectural delineation shall be prohibited.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.b. All buildings must be designed by a Florida registered Architect.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.c. Rooftop equipment, antennas, and similar protrusions shall not project above the parapet. The building shall include parapet walls, individual screens or other architectural building elements to completely screen the offensive elements from view. All screening elements shall relate to the building's style of architecture and where at grade shall be landscaped. Solar collectors, satellite dish, etc., shall only be permitted at approved locations.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.d. Downspouts, roof ladders, and related elements shall be designed to be compatible with the building architecture and avoid staining the building façade.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.e. No walls may be constructed within the landscape easements or nearer than five feet from the side or rear property line. All walls shall be compatible with the surrounding architecture. Walls shall not be constructed in front yards or on site areas visible from major project streets, except within the Core, where buffer walls may be constructed to reduce visibility of utilities.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.f. The creation of outdoor use areas incorporated into the landscape and building design is encouraged to facilitate public activity. These areas shall provide seating, outdoor dining and meeting space, formal gardens consisting of courtyards, sculpture gardens or lawns featuring fountains and pools, and shall provide exercise and other recreational uses.
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.g. In keeping with the intent to encourage pedestrian activity and use of outdoor areas as described in paragraph "f" above, moveable vendor(s) kiosks shall be incorporated in to the streetscape. These kiosks shall be as defined herein below:
124.27(C)(2)(i)1.g.i. Vendor kiosks shall be defined as a moveable retail sales cart of approximately four feet by eight feet in overall dimensions that are conducive to the merchandising requirements and cohesive with the design of Town Center. Kiosks shall be placed at designated locations as indicated on the amended "approved" site plan, with the total number of carts not to exceed 12. In order to facilitate the parking for the kiosk attendants, a parking ratio of 1½ spaces per kiosk shall be provided. Construction and use of all kiosks shall be in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and no use of propane shall be permitted on any kiosk.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2. Design Strategies.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.a. A relatively wide variety of architectural design and materials is permitted. However, it is intended that a basic harmony of architecture shall prevail among the several buildings so that a consistent style is achieved within Town Center.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.b. The basic architectural style of Town Center shall be modern and unembellished except for articulation by building form, window treatment, and roof or entrance features.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.c. Building height within the Town Center Core shall not be limited so as to allow for building massing that will create a captured pedestrian experience. Elements such as cupolas and architectural features are contemplated in the conceptual design (Exhibit 3) to be at a height of 50 feet. The main identification element of Town Center, the belltower, shall be a maximum of 55 feet in overall height.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.d. Building height within the west parcel shall be to a maximum of or 46 feet in height. In order to allow for a vertical transition to the Town Center Core, the third floor of any building on the west parcel shall step away from the Town Center Core and lakefront park. This shall be achieved by providing only 50% of the second floor area on the third floor and that this area be provided along the west side of the building.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e. In general, the following shall apply to the design of building exterior appearance in order to promote harmonious building design:
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.1. The height of buildings shall be visually reduced by the use of landscape, texture, materials and color.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.2. Buildings shall be designed to be attractive from all road frontages they are adjacent to.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.3. No portion of the rooftop equipment may project above the parapet including all mechanical, electrical equipment, vents and stacks.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.4. Colors, materials and finishes shall be coordinated on all exterior elevations to achieve total continuity of design throughout Town Center. The Town Center Core and parcels shall incorporate a color palette of no less than 12 distinct colors.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.5. All service courts and loading areas shall be screened from view of project roadways and driveways so as to be an integral part of the design of the building architecture or by location on the site to the rear of public areas. Mature landscape materials, which complement the building architecture, may also be used in screening these uses.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.6. Buildings shall be separated within and between parcels according to Setback Requirements established in the Design Guidelines.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.7. Building massing within the Town Center Core shall conform to the overall intent conveyed in the Conceptual Design Master Plan (Exhibit 3). Recognizing that building mass will provide a sense of enclosure and containment along the street which will define the pedestrian experience being sought at Town Center, careful consideration to building height, placement and volume is of extreme concern. Buildings shall complement the pedestrian ways and address the 'sidewalk to building' intersection through horizontal displacements so as to create areas for activities like outdoor dining, window shopping and leisurely strolling within a more 'urban' setting than that which can be currently found in Weston.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.e.8. Building massing together with building height shall be used to define views and streetscapes which will provide a "pedestrian experience" by capturing vistas of features such as the Bell Tower and focusing on the corporate office on the water.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.f. Roofs, roof lines and roof materials are recognized to create not only shelter, but to be possibly the single most important element in contributing to the overall building elevation and aesthetics. Roofs within the Town Center are to be a mix of flat decks (with parapets and tiled mansards) and hipped and/or gabled roofs. Roof shall be of the Spanish "S" style tile (or barrel) or standing seam metal, with a consistency of colors blends from roof to roof that will give uniformity through compatibility to the overall look of the Town Center.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.f.a. Roof colors are to be chosen from a minimum color palette of eight colors (for tiled roofs) or four colors in the case of metal roofs. For tiled roofs, a minimum of three but not more than four colors will be blended to create a roof color.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.f.b. Inclined roof pitches are to be minimum four in 12 pitch and should vary in height to create movement and elevation interest across not less than 50% of the façade. The use of features such as clocks, towers, canopies, colonnades, loggias, balconies, cloth awnings and other architectural projections of aesthetic quality are encouraged.
124.27(C)(2)(i)2.f.c. Roof projections such as, but not limited to: A/C equipment, exhaust hoods, refrigeration, vents and vent shafts shall be hidden from view by means of parapets or roof designs. No other screening devices shall be allowed.
124.27(C)(2)(i)3. Building Coverage.
124.27(C)(2)(i)3.a. Building coverage may be maximized, provided that utility and maintenance easements and sufficient parking can be provided within these limits and established setbacks are adhered to.
124.27(C)(2)(i)3.b. Building coverage and impervious surface coverage shall be as governed by the City of Weston Ordinances.

.
124.28(A)(3) The DRI specifically addresses the tone of
for the PECD: “The property shall be developed in such a manner as to assure the physical integration of the retail
with the other permitted
.” The guidelines for achieving this physical integration shall be accomplished by complying with the following design criteria, by way of example and not limitation:
124.28(A)(3)(a) A unified and well-organized arrangement of

§ 124.29 ISLES AT WESTON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
of property within the Isles at Weston Planned Development District shall be governed by, and comply with, the Design Guidelines set forth. Those aspects of the
that are not regulated by the Design Guidelines shall be governed by the underlying zoning district provisions. Isles at Weston Planned Development District Design Guidelines.
124.29(A) Introduction.
124.29(A)(1) Isles at Weston (aka Gulfstream) is a Planned Development District (PDD) composed of
,
,
Facility, and
uses, including a system of lakes and mitigation areas. The Declarant, Centex Homes (8198 Jog Road, Boynton Beach, FL 33437), has planned the community with an emphasis on open space and security, highlighted by the creation internally of large lakes, wetland preserve, and dedicated park/open space/recreational areas totaling 159.29 acres. The Isles at Weston community will total approximately 328.0 acres with an overall density of 2.0 residential units per acre.
124.29(A)(2) The proposed site is located in the City of Weston and lies within Land Section 24 and 25, Township 50 South, Range 39 East. This planned development district (PDD) rezoning application is for the purpose to define zoning regulations consistent with the
and County
Designations and to demonstrate that the intended use of the parcel is in accordance with the
and County development goals and objectives.
124.29(A)(3) The Isles at Weston PDD shall consist of 655 single-family home sites. Supporting this residential area is a 6.1 acre park/recreational area together with an entrance feature, community entry features, roads, and buffer areas. There will be three lot sizes available and sub-parceled as separate PDD zones.
124.29(A)(4) 98-41 of the City of Weston Land Chapter and Resolution No. 2001-09 approving the
between the City of Weston and Ronald M. Bergeron Sr. for the Gulfstream property. This Resolution No. 2001-09 and the Development Agreement were recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Book 31200, Page 0774 on January 19, 2001.
124.29(B) Existing Conditions. The proposed site contains approximately 328.0 acres of land which is currently vacant. The site is generally located south of the Estates of Swan Lake PDD, north of the C-11 canal (Griffin Road), east of US 27 (U.S. Nature Center) and west of Bonaventure Boulevard (Educational Complex and Windmill Lake Estates). The location of the site is graphically shown on the location map (see Figure 1). The property has a Land Use designation of Low (2) Residential and the current zoning is A-1. See Figures 2 and 3 for the existing Land Use and Zoning Maps. See Figure 4 for the property legal description.
124.29(B)(1) Current and historical use of the property is improved pasture. The degraded wetlands have been assessed by the Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protection (DPEP), the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The evaluations have established that a total of +63.27 acres of mitigation is proposed to compensate for wetland impacts. Environmental regulatory permits are pending.
124.29(B)(2) The Soil Survey of Broward County, Florida indicates that Dania Muck was historically the primary soil type in the area with a minor component of Lauderhill Muck. Both soils are described as "nearly level, very poorly drained, organic soil underlain by limestone" at 14 to 20 inches and 20 to 40 inches respectively. This area is predominantly flat with ground elevations of 4.5' NGVD to 5.5' NGVD.
124.29(B)(3) This project is located entirely within the Indian Trace Development District. Lake and Canal easements within the property will be dedicated to either the City /Indian Trace Development District or the Isles at Weston Owners Association.
124.29(B)(4) An aerial exhibit of the property is attached (see Figure 5).

§ 124.30 FLORIDA NATURE AND CULTURE CENTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
of property within the Florida Nature and Culture Center Planned Development District shall be governed by, and comply with, the Design Guidelines set forth. Those aspects of the
that are not regulated by the Design Guidelines shall be governed by the underlying zoning district provisions. Florida Nature and Culture Center Planned Development District Design Guidelines.
124.30(A) Introduction.
124.30(A)(1) The Florida Nature and Culture Center is a religious retreat and conference facility located one mile east of U.S. Highway 27 on S.W. 36th Street in the City of Weston. The entire site contains approximately 118.4 acres of land. The facility is a heavily landscaped, campus style complex comprised of 12 buildings that occupy less than 3% of the total site area. Of the total site area, approximately 60 acres has been preserved in a natural state as wetlands, grasslands and lake area, providing a habitat for numerous egrets, eagles, herons and other forms of native wildlife. The Culture Center recently invested more than one million dollars to further upgrade and enhance this preserve.
124.30(A)(2) The campus is comprised of six primary common buildings, the tallest of which is 39 feet, with a spire or architectural feature that totals 54 feet in height. In addition, the campus features six ancillary structures that include five buildings containing visitor sleeping rooms and a caretaker's residence, as well as three miscellaneous buildings that include a pump room, guard house and gift shop/storage room. The campus also features an amphitheater that overlooks the lake that is located on the east side of the property. The overall site, outside of the natural preserve area, contains extensive landscaping with a variety of trees and shrubs. The entire complex, including all structures, setbacks, landscaping, parking, signage and any other development feature, as well as uses of structures, were constructed consistent with the applicable regulations in effect at the time of development and are considered legal and conforming. Any future development on the site shall conform with these design guidelines.
124.30(A)(3) As a facility that provides a venue for religious activity, education, cultural exchange and meditation, the Florida Nature and Culture Center has been planned and developed to create harmony with the surrounding natural environment. As a result, the profile of the built environment is subdued, while natural vistas, vegetation, landscaping and pedestrian activities are emphasized to create a serene climate.
124.30(B) Permitted Uses. The subject site is approved for use as retreat, education and conference facilities, including accessory facilities to support the primary uses. Accessory facilities include, but are not limited to, sanctuary, chapel, reception hall, conference center, dining hall, multi-purpose center, guest sleeping accommodations, caretaker's residence, guard house, storage area and gift shop.
124.30(C) Total Building Square Footage.
124.30(C)(1) The campus currently contains approximately 150,000 square feet of primary common, ancillary and miscellaneous building area. The total of all existing and potential future building development on the site shall not exceed 257,928 square feet, which is only 5% of the entire site area.
124.30(D) Minimum Open Space. As open space is a key design feature that promotes the meditation qualities and nature center aspects of the Culture Center, a minimum of 50% of the gross site area shall be maintained in open space. Open space may include pedestrian paths, pedestrian plazas, active recreation areas, lakes and wetlands, but specifically excludes vehicular access areas or drive aisles, parking lots and roofed structures.
124.30(E) Architectural Style and Color Palette. The predominant architecture of structures on the campus may be described as a Mediterranean theme. Primary common buildings feature pillared breezeways, façade relief, decorative banding and hip and gable roof styles. Ancillary buildings complement the predominant architectural scheme, and all buildings feature neutral wall colors. Visual variations and aesthetic enhancements include subdued red roofing and a variety of red brick pavers along the central promenade of the campus. Any future development on the site will be consistent and compatible with the existing style of development and current color palette that has been utilized.
124.30(F) Maximum Height. The height of the tallest primary common building is 39 feet. The architectural feature totals 54 feet in height. Consistent with the existing development, therefore, future structures will not exceed 39 feet in height, and any future spire or architectural feature will not exceed 54 feet in height. Additionally, the height of any future fence or wall will not exceed the current height of such similar development features, which is a total of ten feet.
124.30(G) Setbacks: Primary and Accessory Structures. All structural setbacks on the site will not be less than 25 feet, with the exception of fences or walls. Fences or walls may be located on the property line, subject to meeting traffic and engineering safety standards.
124.30(H) Parking. Parking is dispersed throughout the developed portion of the campus. This not only makes parking more convenient for each of the campus buildings, but also de-emphasizes the visual impact of any parking area. A total of 563 parking spaces have been provided at the facility to serve the various primary common buildings and ancillary buildings. All future uses will conform with applicable parking regulations that may, with the approval of the
, include shared parking per Section 124.54(F) of the
.
124.30(I) Landscaping and Buffering.
124.30(I)(1) The Florida Nature and Culture Center is a unique development because it features a wetland preserve as well as serving as a nature center. The preserve, which is located along the east, south and a portion of the west side of the property, will remain in its natural state. The Culture Center has recently invested more than one million dollars in this preserve to upgrade and enhance it. This area will remain in its natural state and serves as an expansive and natural buffer and landscape area for other properties abutting it.
124.30(I)(2) The balance of the site that does not abut the preserve, which is the north side and a portion of the west side, features gentle berming and extensive landscaping. Additionally, the interior of the site contains extensive landscaping, including specimen trees and shrubs that are tagged with identification and specie information, in keeping with the nature center aspect of the campus. The preserve and the existing landscaping and berming shall remain, and are considered consistent with and conforming to code requirements.
124.30(J) Signage. The hierarchy of signage includes facility identification, directional signs and traffic control signs. The Culture Center identification sign is contained within the entry wall feature located within the property at the entrance to the facility, as approved prior to construction. The directional signs contained within the complex, as approved prior to construction, guide motorists and pedestrians to the various buildings within the complex, while the traffic control signs, such as "stop signs" and "keep right" signs provide direction to motorists for safety purposes. Any additional signs that are proposed for the campus will be consistent and compatible with the general design, style and color scheme of the existing signage program; otherwise conforming to the sign regulations in effect at that time.

§ 124.31 ESTATES OF SWAN LAKE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (ALSO KNOWN AS WINDMILL RESERVE).
Development of property within the Estates of Swan Lake Planned Development District shall be governed by, and comply with, the Design Guidelines set forth. Those aspects of the
that are not regulated by the Design Guidelines shall be governed by the underlying zoning district provisions. Estates of Swan Lake Planned Development District Planned Development District Design Guidelines.
124.31(A) Introduction.
124.31(A)(1) The proposed site is located in the City of Weston and lies in Land Section 23 and Section 24, Township 50 South, Range 39 East. This planned development district (PDD) rezoning application is titled Estates of Swan Lake PDD and was prepared by CCL Consultants, Inc. of Pompano Beach, Florida. The purpose of this rezoning is to define zoning regulations consistent with the
and County Land
Designations and to demonstrate that the intended use of the parcel is in accordance with the
and County development goals and objectives.
124.31(A)(2) The project consists of 94 dwelling units on an overall site of 239.38 acres, which provides a low-density development of one unit per 2.55 acres. Of that acreage, approximately 93 will remain in conservation uses consisting of approximately 63 acres of wetland mitigation and 30 acres to be used as a water impoundment area and conveyed to South Florida Water Management District.
124.31(A)(3) The lots will be generously sized 27 one-acre lots, 47 half-acre lots, and 20 third-acre lots.
124.31(A)(4) The residential portion of the property consists of two parcels separated by Southwest 36th Street (Subparcels). The 20 third-acre lots will be located on the Subparcel that is south of Southwest 36th Street. There will be a separate landscaped and gated entrance to each of the two Subparcels. This submittal is made in accordance with Ordinance No. 98-41 of the City of Weston Land Development Chapter.

124.31(C) Existing Conditions.
124.31(C)(1) The proposed site contains approximately 239.38 acres of land which is currently vacant, with a portion a mining quarry and a tree farm. The site is generally located west of South Post Road, north of Windmill Ranch Estates, east of the Florida Fruit Lands Company's Subdivision and south of Southwest 26th Street. The location of the site is graphically shown on the location Map (see Figure 1). The property has a Land
Designation of Agricultural and the Current Zoning is A-1 and P.U.D. See Figures 2 and 3 for the existing Land
and Zoning Maps. See Figures 4 and 5 for a reduced copy of the proposed
and a copy of the Legal Description.
124.31(C)(2) Current and historical land uses of the property include tree farming, range land for cattle, limerock quarry, and creation of lots with house pads. Such uses have: allowed the proliferation of exotic and nuisance plant species; disturbed or eliminated natural soil profiles; altered the hydrology; and degraded historic wetlands. The degraded wetlands have been assessed by the Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protections (DPEP), the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The evaluations have established that a total of ±117.3 acres of mitigation is proposed to compensate for wetland impacts. Environmental regulatory permits are pending.
124.31(C)(3) The Soil Survey of Broward County, Florida, Eastern Part, indicates that Lauderhill Muck was historically the primary soil type in the area with a minor component of Dania Muck (see Figure 6). In many areas the historic soil profile has been severely altered by past and present land uses. Both Lauderhill and Dania Muck are characterized as "nearly level, very poorly drained, organic soil underlain by limestone" at 20 to 40 inches and 14 to 20 inches, respectively.
124.31(C)(4) The majority of the site is relatively flat with existing ground conditions generally varying from approximately four and one-half feet NGVD to five and one-half NGVD. Historically, activities pertaining to mining of the existing quarry site represent the only features having substantial topographical relief. Such features include the quarry, scrape down areas, soil and muck wetlands and berms, and several lot pads.
124.31(C)(5) The project is located entirely within the Indian Trace Development District. Lake and canal easements within the project will be dedicated to either the City /Indian Trace Development District or remain with the Estates of Swan Lakes Homeowners' Association, whichever is appropriate.
124.31(C)(6) Many of the Physical Features can be seen on the attached aerial from February 1998 (see Figure 7). Details of the adjacent area are shown on the Section Map (see Figure 8).
