LDC 6.8.6.K(3) - Buffers
CODE states C-Type buffer shall consist of a 15-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer and form a layered landscape screen with a minimum height of three feet achieved within one year.
APPLICANT requests waiver to use natural vegetation per S.U.P. conditions for Type "C" buffer adjacent to SR 40.
The following item is at the discretion of the county engineer. It is being processed as a deviation request.
LDC 6.11.4.B(1) - Access Management
CODE states cross access is required to reduce the use of the public street system, provide for movement between adjacent and complementary land uses, limit access to Arterial and Collector roads, and minimize full median openings. Cross access shall be shown on the plans and shall be established through a public easement.
APPLICANT requests waiver to not provide cross access between properties due to both properties having individual access to SR 41 and having similar uses (Church). Both properties will have right in/right out access to US 41 per FDOT road improvement plans.
LDC 6.8.7.C - Parking Areas and Vehicular Use Areas
CODE states a landscaped parking lot island shall be located every ten parking spaces and shall be a minimum of 200 square feet in size with properly drained soils. For paved parking areas within a Primary SPZ, including those with permeable or porous surfaces, parking lot islands shall be completely planted with shrubs or groundcovers; the use of turfgrass is prohibited.
APPLICANT requests waiver to have more than ten parking spaces in a row without a landscaped island due to spacing limitations. Majority of parking will be grass parking.
