~~~ Buckhorn Village Development Proposal : Planning Board questions and Requests for Information 4/9/08 Question 1 This is a request that the applicant provide information in the form of a site plan and conceptual design of the proposed development, including the information required by: ® Section 8.2.1 of the County Zoning Ordinance, and a Sections 8.1, 8.2.1, 8.6, 8.8, 8.8.23, 7.2, 14.1, 14.2.2, 14.2.1 and 14.2.3 of the applicable Orange County zoning ordinance. The site plan should be drawn to a scale, and present enough information about the development project, to adequately demonstrate: a The relationship between the existing and proposed site features, ® The portions of proposed development specifically affected by the applicant's 14 requested Waivers/Exemptions to the existing County performance standards for this project, and m Sufficient information about the site plan design necessary to demonstrate compliance with at least the land use intensity, and other key project performance objectives, of the EDD Design Manual. STAFF RESPONSE: While you are technically correct that normal Special Use Permit (hereafter `SUF') applications are required to submit detailed site plans in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight (8) you need to understand the following: 1. This is a Planned Development (hereafter `PD') application that is reviewed in accordance with the provisions and standards listed within Article Seven (7) of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance (hereafter `Ordinance'). 2. As outlined within Section 7.2.3 of the Ordinance, applicants requesting a PD rezoning are required to define the following within their application: Allowed Uses Must Be Slaown On Tlie Plan If the petitioner elects to apply for a Planned Development District the petition must specify the actual use(s) intended for the property specified in the petition and the intended use(s) must be permitted in the corresponding general use district. In the petition for a Planned Development Dish°ict, the County Cornrnissioners are to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the petition on the basis of the proposed site plan and the specific proposed use. Any change in the use shown on the plan will be tr°eated as an amendment to the Planned Development, as set forth in Article 7.8. There is no requirement that an applicant proposing a PD be required to submit asite-specific development plan. They are only required to submit a conceptual site plan/master plan outlining the specific uses being proposed. 3. It needs to be remembered that the applicant is not proposing to develop the property at this time, which is why there is no formal site plan being reviewed. The applicant is seeking to have the property rezoned to a PD designation. The development of the property will only occur after the decision on this rezoning application has been reached.
