  Objective 2.6.5. - Quality in Project Design.  

Latest version.

  • Promote appropriate diversity within and between existing and future development projects to achieve high quality, efficient functioning design.

    Policy 2.6.5.1. Allow the use of the planned development procedure to achieve quality, highly functional, and well-integrated project designs.

    Implementation Mechanism(s):

    (a)

    Land development regulations developed pursuant to § 163.3202, F.S., providing for a planned development review process that minimizes the duration of reviews, and the number of discretionary approvals.

    Policy 2.6.5.2. Encourage, in locations which are suited to diverse uses, mixed and multiple use projects to provide for integration and synergy between land uses. Nothing in this policy shall preclude single use or homogenous projects if mixing of uses on a single project, or intrusion of a different use into a homogenous area, will create inappropriate diversity or incompatibilities between adjacent land uses.

    Implementation Mechanism(s):

    (a)

    Consideration of limited nonresidential land uses within residential designations pursuant to policy in this Element.

    (b)

    Consideration of commercial and residential uses within the ROR designation pursuant to policy in this Element.

    (c)

    Consideration of industrial, commercial and residential uses within the MU designation pursuant to policies in this Element.

    (d)

    Consideration of all residential dwelling unit types, or combinations thereof, within all future land use categories, where consistent with other policies in this Element.

    Policy 2.6.5.3. Encourage, within currently undeveloped areas designated for new growth, and within infill development projects not creating incompatible land use patterns, the vertical integration of uses by mixing of uses within a single structure.

    Policy 2.6.5.4. Maximize the conservation and/or protection of public or private open space, including common open space, through the land development process by requiring that minimum percentages of the upland area on any project be maintained as undisturbed or landscaped areas.

    Land uses within the Watershed Overlay District shall meet additional requirements required by the Comprehensive Plan. (See also Policy 2.2.2.2.5)

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Develop and maintain land development regulations containing these minimum open space standards, or equivalent standards.

    Policy 2.6.5.5. Ensure urban infill projects are compatible to their setting and designed to contribute to the overall enhancement of the existing neighborhood. Compatibility consideration will include building massing, vertical character and setbacks within the existing urban neighborhood. Urban neighborhood projects shall preserve the street grid pattern, on street parking and sidewalks characteristic of existing urban neighborhoods.
