Amendment |
(Rezoning 2629 Loretto Rd.
- RR-Acre to PUD) LUZ: Per OGC, approves the
rezoning subject to conditions amendable only via rezoning: (1) The 30 foot wide access to Loretto Road shall be
used for construction vehicles during the initial build out of the lots. Construction vehicles are prohibited from
using County Dock Road. After
construction of the development is complete, the 30 foot wide access shall be
restored to its existing condition.
The Site Plan shall be amended prior to the City Council approval to
reflect this change. (2) A Phase I Environmental Impact Study shall be
prepared by the owner, applicant or developer and submitted to the Planning
and Development Department at the time of Verification of Substantial
Compliance. If a Phase II is
recommended, the Phase II shall be submitted prior to Verification of
Substantial Compliance. (3) It is the intent of the City Council that County
Dock Road shall remain a 2-way roadway and shall not be converted to a
one-way roadway, or be widened or altered as a result of this development. (4) Lots shall be a minimum of 100 feet in width. For lots fronting on a cul-de-sac, the
frontage width may be narrower so long as the width is 100 feet at the front
plane of the principal structure. (5) The provisions of Part 12 of the Zoning Code
(Landscape and Tree Protection Regulations) shall apply. However, the following shall be in addition
to those requirements: a. There shall be a thirty-five foot (35’) buffer,
extending along the length of the property line along County Dock Road into
the property a distance of 35’. This
buffer shall be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association (“HOA”) as
Common Area. The setbacks for structures on Lots shall be measured from this
35’ setback. The Site Plan shall be
amended prior to the City Council approval to reflect this change. The requirement for the HOA to maintain
this buffer shall be clearly stated in the Covenants and Restrictions of the
development, if any, and made part of the Verification of Substantial
Completion of PUD. b. (An evergreen shrub hedge, a minimum of 36 inches in
height at the time of planting, and spaced so that an 85 percent opacity at a
height of 6 feet is achieved within two years, shall be planted and
maintained along the County Dock Road
frontage within the 35 foot buffer as shown on the Site Plan. The hedge shall be located along the
eastern edge of the buffer, adjacent to the private lots, and shall reach an
85% opacity at a 6 foot height within two years. In addition, one shade tree, spaced 25 feet
apart, shall be planted and maintained along the County Dock Road frontage
within the buffer. If an overhead
power line abuts the buffer, then the required trees reaching a mature height
greater than 25 feet shall be located at least 20 feet away from the power
line. c. Trees noted to remain on the Dockside Estates
Neighborhood Site Plan (Sheet 4) dated December 22, 2016, and stamped June
19, 2017, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5, shall be
protected by the developer and every effort shall be made to employ
construction techniques that preserve the trees. Full scale copies of the Dockside Estates
Neighborhood Site Plan shall be maintained in files of the Planning and
Development Department’s Current Planning Division; the Development Services
Division and the Building Inspection Division. As part of this effort, the lift station
noted on the previously proposed Site Plan shall be relocated in order to
preserve the grouping of trees adjacent to its current location on the Site
Plan. A new Site Plan (Second Revised
Exhibit 4) shall be submitted, prior to Council approval, showing the revised
location of the lift station and other methods to preserve trees noted to
remain. d. For the removal of any Protected Tree (as that term
is defined in either the Ordinance Code or the Charter), the total inches to
be removed shall be calculated and the developer or individual home builder
shall mitigate for the loss with a ratio of one and one half inches (1-1/2”)
of Live Oak for every inch of Protected Tree removed. Further, a minimum of one-third (1/3) of
the inches removed shall be replaced on site, but as many hardwood trees as possible
shall be provided on site, either in the right-of-way, common areas, or on
lots containing an occupied dwelling.
These trees shall then become Protected Trees pursuant to Part 12,
even if located on a private lot, and such shall be made a part of any
private governance documents for the development. The City Arborist or the
City Landscape Architect shall determine the most appropriate species and
location of replacement trees. Live Oaks are the preferred species. For the tree inches that are not possible
to be planted on site, the cost per inch to be paid into the Tree Protection
and Related Expenses Trust Fund shall be based upon the then current price
for a Live Oak. (6) Prior to requesting a final building inspection or
occupying the facility in any manner, the owner, applicant or developer shall
submit to the Planning Department separate certification letters confirming
that all horizontal and vertical components of the development have been
substantially completed, and all conditions to the development order have
been satisfied. This condition shall apply to both phased and non-phased
developments. Provides for effective date
of rezoning to be delayed until the Second Revised Site Plan and the Second Revised
Written Description are received by the Office of General Counsel and
determined to be consistent with these conditions. Upon the determination of consistency, the
Office of General Counsel will immediately forward this legislation to the
Council President and the Council Secretary for signature. Attaches Second Revised
Exhibit 3 (second revised written description); attaches Second Revised
Exhibit 4 (second revised site plan); attaches new Exhibit 5 (tree site plan) |

stormwater management pond. (9) A traffic study conducted by a professional traffic
engineer shall be required. A

commencement of the study. The Belfort Road/Touchton Road/Subdivision
Entrance Road intersection shall be modified to provide, at a minimum, a left
turn lane into the site and a pedestrian crossing of Belfort Road, south of
the intersection. This will require that the existing traffic signal also be
modified. (10) Prior to requesting a final building inspection or occupying
the facility in any manner, the owner, applicant or developer shall submit to
the Planning Department separate certification letters confirming that all
horizontal and vertical components of the development have been substantially

submit to the Planning Department separate certification letters confirming
that all horizontal and vertical components of the development have been

prepared by a professional traffic engineer, shall be submitted to the
Transportation Planning Division for review and approval at the time of
