~~°~ Per Section 7.21.1 of the Ordinance, the overall purpose and intent of PD/SUP projects is to: `provide for properly located and planned non-residential development consistent with Orange County's Strategic Plan for Economic Development'. This process is intended to provide an opportunity for development proposals to be considered for approval when such plans do not: 1. Meet the criteria for site plan approval listed in Article 14.3; 2. Address agency comments solicited during the site plan review process; and/or 3. Adhere to the design standards applicable within Economic Development Districts as set forth in Article 6.29 of this ordinance. In cases where number three (3) applies, the applicant is required to propose a design solution that is equal to, or better than,. what. could be obtained through the application of the .criteria and standards contained in the Design Manual. In this case, Buckhorn Road Associates LLC has requested the waiving of fourteen (14) standards of the. Design Manual. Ultimately, the applicant is required to demonstrate to the County that any and all deviations from the standards outlined within the Economic Development District Design Manual are necessary and that the proposed solution(s) are consistent with the intent of the manual. Please refer to Attachment Four (4) for staff's assessment of the project. REVIEW PROCESS: A PD/SUP project is processed in the exact same manner as all Class A SUP applications. With these types of projects, however, the BOCC will be required to: 1. Take action on the rezoning request to rezone the identified properties from: I- 85/Buckhorn Road .Economic Development (ED) District and/or Rural Residential One (R-1) to Buckhorn Village Planned Development Economic Development District (BVPD- ED). Action on approving. or denying the rezoning application is considered to be a Legislative decision made in accordance with the provisions of Article Twenty (20) of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. If the application to rezone the properties is approved, the BOCC will then take action on the PD/SUP application proposing the development of the property as a master planned mixed-use commercial site. Action on approving or denying the PD/SUP application is considered to be a Quasi judicial decision made in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight (8) of the Zoning Ordinance.
