The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing <br />30.51-acre tract (Tax Parcel 6.28.9P) to create <br />the 2.77-acre tract. This subdivision <br />application has not been approved by Orange <br />County. The 2.77 acre subdivided tract, if <br />approved, will meet the minimum lot size required <br />by the RB district. <br />b) The minimum lot width in a RB district is 150 <br />feet. The Board finds that the lot is <br />r approximately 348 feet in width. <br />c) The required front setback in a RB district is 40 <br />feet. The Board finds that the proposed tower is <br />approximately 125 feet from the front property <br />line. <br />d) The required side and rear setbacks in a RB <br />district are 20 feet. The Board finds that the <br />closest proposed structure is approximately 125 <br />feet from the side or rear property line. <br />e) The maximum building height in a RB district is <br />25 feet. The Board finds that the proposed <br />building cabinet height is 5.25 feet. <br />7. Article 6 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance lists <br />specific standards that apply to various types of <br />development applications. Article 6.12 contains those <br />development intensity standards that apply to group <br />developments controlled by the Land Use Intensity (LUI) <br />system. These standards are listed below, with the <br />Board's findings for each: <br />a) The maximum floor ratio for this development is <br />0.088. To determine the maximum square footage in a <br />development, the fallowing equation is used: <br />.088 x total square feet of property = maximum amount of <br />floor space that <br />can be used <br />In this case, the result of this calculation is <br />10,618 square feet of usable floor space. The Board <br />finds that the proposed maximum floor area is 1500 <br />square feet, which is below this limit. <br />b) Article 6.12 requires a minimum open space ratio of <br />0.84, which in this project translates to a required <br />minimum open space of 101,355 square feet. The <br />Board finds that the site plan indicates 109,360 <br />square feet of open space. <br />c) The site must have a minimum pedestrian/landscape <br />ratio of 0.21. In this project that translates into <br />3 <br />
