Summary Explanation and Background:
Section 62-1448 (c) grants the Zoning Official the administrative authority to approve minor (non-substantial) changes or deviations to the Board approved preliminary development plan for PUD zoning. This section defines substantial changes “as any change which increases the density or intensity of the project or decreases the amount of buffer areas from adjacent property or decreases the amount of common open space” and stipulates these require the Board’s approval.
Staff is seeking the Board’s concurrence that the following proposed amendments are not substantial and are within staff’s administrative authority. The Tranquility Estates PUD Amendment #1 proposes to:
l Reduces wetland impacts by 3.99 acres to preserve 98.59 acres of undisturbed wetlands, and the overall conservation and preservation increase by 7.36 acres.
l Relocates the recreation tract from the interior of the development to a tract along the southeastern perimeter of the project.
l Provides second access to Hall Rd. to satisfy public safety emergency access requirements.
l Increases the total overall open space (active/passive) from 123.87 to 124.11 acres which is above the minimum required for single-family residential.
l Reconfigures residential lot configurations to provide greater flexibility.
