ATTACHMENTS: YES
BACKGROUND:
On March 19, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Avon Park II rezoning request. The
Commission, by a vote of 6:1, recommended approval of ZMA201200004 with proffers, to be amended, as follows
prior to the Board of Supervisors hearing.
1. The 5" proffer regarding Certificate of Occupancy or replacement proffer regarding plats is not necessary
because the platting is already a requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance. Eliminate the 5" proffer.
2. The applicant needs to provide a proffer restricting uses to those that are residential plus what staff feels is
necessary to continue to have for the PRD district.
3. In addition to the technical fixes to the proffers identified by staff, the applicant should work with the adjacent
neighbors regarding the fence type (to be installed along the site boundary)
DISCUSSION:
The attached proffers have been revised to reflect the changes recommended by the Planning Commission
and staff. (See Attachment II)
The following reflects revisions to the proffers:
The 5" proffer regarding Certificate of Occupancy or replacement proffer regarding plats has
been eliminated. (as noted in number 1 above)
A new proffer 5 has been added to restrict uses to those that are residential plus what staff feels
is necessary for the PRD district (as noted in number 2 above). Those uses (special uses)
restricted include day care, fire and rescue squad stations, rest home, electrical power
substations, home occupation, Class B, churches, swim, golf, tennis or similar athletic facilities,
professional offices, Tier III personal wireless service facilities, historical centers, and farmer's
markets.
Additional technical fixes /corrections have been made to the proffers (as noted in number 3
above). These include:
• The affordable housing proffers (1 and 2) have been simplified as recommended by
the Director of Housing and Planning Commission. The affordable units will be 6
apartments located within 6 townhouse units (one floor of a three story townhouse)
and function like an accessory unit. Because of this unit type, previous language in
the proffer referring to either "for sale" or "for rent" units is not necessary and has
been eliminated. The applicant has also eliminated the option of providing cash in
lieu of constructing affordable units. The six affordable units will therefore be
constructed within the townhouse units.
