 Comprehensive Plan
 Element 4 - COASTAL
 GOAL - 4.3

Objective 4.3.1. - Development Type, Density and Intensity.  

Latest version.

  • Limit development type, density and intensity within the Coastal Planning Area and direct population and development to areas outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area to mitigate the potential negative impacts of natural hazards in this area.

    Policy 4.3.1.1. Direct population concentrations away from the Coastal Evacuation Area (CEA).

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain requirements in the Manatee County Land Development Code consistent with this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.2. Limit the density of new residential development within the FEMA Velocity-Zone to a maximum of three (3) dwelling units per gross acre or to the maximum density shown on the Future Land Use Map for the area within the V-Zone, whichever is less. Any reduction in residential development potential within the FEMA Velocity-Zone resulting from the limit of three (3) du/ga within that area may be re-captured on the subject site in areas outside of the velocity zone where consistent with other provisions of this Comprehensive Plan.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain regulations in the Land Development Code to implement this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.3. Require that non-industrial redevelopment activities within the FEMA Velocity-Zone be limited to the density/intensity in existence for the development site prior to the effective date of the Comprehensive Plan; or be limited to three (3) dwelling units per gross acre or the maximum Floor Area Ratio associated with the Future Land Use designation(s) on the project site, whichever is less. This provision shall only apply to those portions of the site within the Velocity Zone and not to the entire redevelopment site. All such redevelopment activities shall also be subject to compliance with other applicable goals, objectives, and policies of this comprehensive plan, and all applicable development regulations.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain regulations in the Land Development Code to implement this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.4. Limit industrial development in the CHHA to the maximum intensity allowed under the Industrial-Light future land use category and prohibit any generation, storage, or disposal in excess of 45.4 pounds of hazardous, or 0.45 pounds of acutely hazardous, waste or substances per month for any use in the CHHA. Industrial development within and in close proximity to Port Manatee shall be exempt from this policy so long as industry storing above the threshold quantities of hazardous, acutely hazardous, waste or substances take steps to minimize the potential for release of this material in a storm event.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Review of all commercial and industrial uses in the CHHA to ensure compliance with this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.5. Maximize the clustering of uses in the Coastal High Hazard Area.

    (1)

    Clustering shall be promoted to protect coastal resources from the impacts of dock accesses, runoff from impervious surface and to minimize infrastructure subject to potential storm damage.

    (2)

    Net density limits may be waived for appropriate clustered projects.

    (3)

    For projects located partially within the CHHA, development shall be encouraged to transfer from areas within the CHHA to portions of the site outside of the CHHA. [See policies under Objective 2.3.1 of the Future Land Use Element.]

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain provisions in the Land Development Code to encourage clustering of density/intensity. [MEMO #10 ITEM 1.C]

    Policy 4.3.1.6. Prohibit the development of new mobile home projects within the Coastal Planning Area.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain regulations in the Land Development Code to implement this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.7. Prohibit the siting of new acute care medical facilities within the Coastal Evacuation Area.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Maintain regulations in the Land Development Code to implement this policy.

    Policy 4.3.1.8. Maintain the minimum construction setback line for all areas of the Coastal Planning Area which have not been delineated for a Coastal Construction Control Line.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Enforce setbacks consistent with this policy.
