The answer is that nothing is congruent or misplaced, and that the 5-lane option is not included in the Principal Arterial category because it is not a divided roadway. The amendment proposing a new table for Section 3-1904. Streets is consistent with FDOT R.O.W. standards and was constructed by City Engineering and Traffic Operations divisions. The existing table (within the Code today) is not consistent with Fire Department and Traffic Operations division requirements. The existing table within the Code is not well organized and has mis-arranged or misplaced columns and rows. As an example, pavement width requirements are under the category of number of homes. The existing table allows fora 16 foot wide pavement on a 2-way road, which is a big problem. The new table calls for 12 foot lanes each on a 2-lane road, plus curbing.

I have some outstanding concerns and thought I would send an a-mail outlining those concerns. In the chart on the top of p. 9 of the ordinance,- I'm not comfortable with the use of some terms that we do not use in the code and/or that are not defined. For example, what is a "local merchant shopping center" compared to a "strip.mall." /Also, could you explain why an art gallery requires a greater illumination level than a strip mall. Also, why does a hospital, / bus/rail terminal have the same required illumination level as an attached dwelling (which could be a duplex or triplex). On Page 11 A.1 and 2 - I still think we need to clarify what "access facilities" means. The response you provided indicates these are facilities by which to access loading bays. Does this mean an aisle providing access to a loading area? If so - ~lease use that terminology or just be more definitive. Also in A. 2 the provision refers to "off-street loading accommodations." What does this mean? Is it same as "facilities." If so, please use consistent language. Page 12off-street loading chart -restaurants have been deleted from the chart. Based on the conversation we had with Michael last Thursday, restaurants were supposed to remain in the chart and would the requirements would be the same ~'as currently in the code. Page 13 - #6. I still believe that this provision is arbitrary. It is highly unusual to have a standard and then a provision that says we can require more without any guidance. I think we need to include some language that provide us with the basis for a greater requirement. I'm also concerned with the second part of the provision that allows a stacking reduction without at least a Level 1 review. I think all reductions in the Code require a Level 1 approval. I would model an exception such as the one provided for loading requirements on p. 12. My last major comment is one for the staff report. Please add an explanation of the changes to Section 3-1904. Streets (p. 24 of ordinance). Since the existing graphic is not shown, there is nothing to tell us what is being changed by the proposed amendment. Please see Michael about these issues tomorrow since I will be out of the office. The amendments must be finalized by the end of the day and ready to be copied. The courier usually comes in the morning to pick up the CDB packet. Thanks. Gina L.

Article 3, Development Standards, Section 3-1302, Site lighting, is amended as follows: Cen~inr~ 2_'17(17/R~ ~eihinho~ior i~ Ic~o e . rte- Ordinance No. 7631-06 • ~~ ~~ ~~ A. General Requirements: 1. Fixture Height: With the exception of those light fixtures located within aright-of-way, the height of a light fixture shall not exceed the maximum allowable height for the zoning district in which it is located, and shall in no case exceed 35 feet. 2. Shielding: All outdoor lighting fixtures shall have cutoff luminaries or shielding so as to prevent direct light from the fixture shining beyond the property limits where the fixture is installed. 3. Night Hours Reduction: After 11:00 p.m., illumination levels shall be reduced by 50% from the requirements of Section 3-1302.C.3. 4. Exemptions: a. Airport operations lightinq and aircraft navigational beacons as established by the Federal Aviation Administration are exempt from these provisions. All other airport outdoor lightinq must conform to the requirements of this Section. b. Community Residential Homes (up to 6 residents) and Detached Dwellings are exempt from the lightinq requirements of this Section, except that individual light fixtures shall not exceed 40 watts. c. Construction lightinq necessary for an allowed use are exempt, except that permanent installations must conform to the requirements of this Section. 5. Prohibitions: a. Laser Source Light: The use of laser source light or any similar high intensity light when projected beyond the property lines is prohibited. Ordinance No. 7631-06 • b. Searchlights / Floodlights: The operation or installation of searchlights or floodlights for purposes other then public safety or emergencies is prohibited. 6. Submittal: As part of any submission for development or redevelopment, a site plan shall be provided depicting the locations of proposed light fixtures with a note pertaining to height. A cut-sheet of the lighting fixture(s) proposed and a lightinq coverage exhibit (i.e. photometric plan) shall also be required as part of the submission. 7. Standards: The complete installation of the area lightinq system shall comply with applicable local codes and ordinances and meet the recommended illumination levels and uniformity ratios of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (I.E.S.), as set forth in this section. The responsibility for performance to this specification, in its entirety, cannot be split up among individual suppliers of components comprising the system, but must be assumed solely by a single supplier. 8. Testing: Upon completion of installation, the system shall be subject to inspection by the City Engineer, at their discretion, to determine compliance with criteria set forth herein. Computer verification shall be made available upon request. 9. Design Criteria: a. General: In determining a lightinq design, consideration shall be given to the architectural and environmental aspects of the facility it is to serve. This consideration shall be instrumental in determining type of fixture, mounting height, and light source. b. Light Control and Spillage: 1. Cutoff luminaries, utilizing I.E.S. Type III distribution, or fixtures provided with cutoff "shielding", shall be used around the perimeter of a facility in order to limit glare and light spillage onto adjacent properties. 2. All cutoff luminaries shall shield the light source at angles above 72 degrees from vertical, limiting effective light throw to three (3) mounting heights. 3. All lighting to be installed beneath a canopy shall be mounted so that the light fixture is fully recessed within the canopy. 4. Lighting shall be directed away from residential properties bordering commercial areas. 5. Average illumination levels of exits, entrances, trafficway collector lanes, pedestrian walkways, and loading zones shall be approximately twice the illumination level of parking areas they are contiguous with, or approximately twice the illumination of any adjoining streets, whichever is greater. Ordinance No. 7631-06 C c. Illumination Levels and Uniformity: The following criteria shall be the minimum acceptable standards for the lighting of parking areas: PARKING AREA FOR: I.E.S.

Sea Turtle Nesting Areas: To the extent possible, no light within 300 feet shall be visible or extend to areas identified as Sea Turtle Nesting Areas during the nesting season of May 1 to October 31. In those areas where security and public safety necessitate lightinq, alternative light management approaches shall be applied. The Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) technical report "Understanding, Assessing, and Resolving Light-Pollution Problems on Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches" shall be used as a guide to rovide the most thorough solution practical. *********** Section 5. Article 3, Development Standards, Section 3-1402, Design standards for parking lots, is amended as follows: I. Dead-end parking bays: 1. Dead-end parking bays are discouraged, but when site .conditions dictate that there be dead-end parking bays, they shall be designed so that there is a 6 foot deep maneuvering area at the end of the bay. This maneuvering area shall not encroach upon any required landscape areas. 2. Exceptions to the above requirement may be permitted through the processing of a Level 1 (Flexible Standard) application, and based upon the provision of sufficient evidence that the required maneuvering area is unnecessary. 9 Ordinance No. 7631-06 ********** Section 6. Article 3, Development Standards, Section 3-1406, Off-street loading and vehicle stacking spaces, is amended as follows: Section 3-1406. Off-street loading and vehicle stacking distances. ~aa lea a-A 9;9 A8 a-A 8;9 A9 des 10 Ordinance No. 7631-06 • 3 ~ A. Off-street loading: 1.

Exceptions: Exceptions to the above loading requirements may be permitted, pursuant to the processing and approval of a Level 1 (Flexible Standard) development application, and based upon the size of the site and the timing and frequency of deliveries. B. Stackingg spaces: Provisions must be made for stacking and transition of incoming traffic from a public street, such that traffic may not back-up into the public street system. 1. The minimum distance between a state right-of-way and the first parking space or aisleway in a parking lot shall be as set forth in the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Driveway Handbook. Number of Spaces 50 or fewer 51 or more Minimum Stacking Distance 20 feet 40 feet 4. Drive-thru facilities for restaurants shall provide sufficient stacking distance to accommodate eight vehicles as measured from the first point of transaction. 12 Ordinance No. 7631-06 y ~ 9 5. Drive-thru facilities for banks shall provide sufficient stacking spaces as measured from the first point of transaction in accordance with the following table: Number of Proposed Drive-Thru Lanes One Two Three Each Additional Lane Number of Required Vehicle Stacking Spaces 8 12 18 2 Additional Spaces 6: The provision of stacking in excess of that required by the provisions of this Section may be required as a condition of site plan approval. The length of the stacking area may be reduced when supported by a traffic study. ********** Section 7.

Two new categories have been added, Attached Dwellings and Overnight Accommodations, that do not require loading zones in the current code. I am not sure why overnight accommodations would require a loading zone unless it is a major resort hotel.

Section 3 -While this is a current requirement, do we really want to create more work (FLS case) just because they can't or don't want to meet the size or number requirement for loading?? Section B regarding Stacking Spaces -The proposed regulations change the nature or character of the current regulations to introduce a new concept of regulation for the amount of distance or number of cars within the driveway area of the property before the first parking space. Has this been discussed with Engineering? What about including a provision requiring a longer "stacking" area where due to the nature and design of the project (such as a shopping center), as determined by the Engineering Department? Sections B.1 and B.2 -Revise "aisleway" to "drive aisle". Section B.3 -Has this been discussed with Engineering? Section B.6 -Unclear why a traffic study is required to support a reduction to stacking spaces, rather than "based on a determination of the City Engineer on sound engineering practices" or similar language. Section B -The provision for "exceptions" has been eliminated from these provisions, different from current Code. Need to include this provision. 7. Section 7 -Amendment to Section 3-1410 • • Comment: The existing Code exempts parking lots of less than 25 parking spaces from the requirements of the MUTCD. The proposed regulations deal with parking lots with 25 or more spaces (in Section A), but then seems to require compliance. with MUTCD for parking lots of less than 25 spaces, which is the exact opposite of the current Code requirements. I am confused as to the proposed regulations. Perhaps Section A meant to apply to parking lots of less than 25 parking spaces (?). 8. Section 8 -Amendment to Section 3-2103 No comments 9. Section 9 -Amendment to Section 3-1409 No comments 10. Section 10 -Amendment to Section 2-701.1 No comments 11. Section 11 -Amendment to Section 2-704 Comment: In practice we have applied the parking ratios of the types of uses proposed, which included the parking ratio for attached dwellings. The current ratio of 4-5 spaces per 1,000 square feet GFA is based on an assumption of retails sales and services as the nonresidential use. However, what if there was retail and restaurant? Could the parking ratio for restaurant be applied? Alternately to the proposed language, I would offer the following language: " , ~ Determined by the community development coordinator based on the specific uses proposed". 12. Section 12 -Amendment to Section 2-1004 Comment: Same comment as above for amendment to Section 2-704. 13. Section 13 -Amendment to Section 2-1202 Comment: Prior information submitted indicated that the changes proposed would // bring the parking requirement into conformance with parking requirements in ~/ other zoning districts of 1 per 2 residents. However, I believe that in the three places in this table where the changes are proposed it now reads "1 per 3 residents", which appears as a typographical error and is inconsistent with other 7 zoning districts. It is also inconsistent with that proposed under Section 14 of this ordinance. Change to "1 per 2 residents" in all three places in the table. 14. Section 14 -Amendment to Section 2-1203 Comments: a. I agree with the changes proposed to this Section so far. However, we are not going far enough with changes. We seem to be changing the maximum height as FLS uses, probably based on the maximum height of 50 feet as Minimum Standard uses, but we are not making all uses listed consistent. Need to also change "halfway houses" and "medical clinic" to 50 feet maximum height. • b. Need to change the maximum height for "Public Transportation Facility" from 10 feet to something more realistic (20, 25 or 30 feet). Need to also look at changing the height for this use for all zoning districts to a height that is compatible with the individual zoning district. 15. Section 15 -Amendment to Section 2-1204 No comments 16. Section 16 -Amendment to Section 2-902 No comments 17. Section 17 -Amendment to Section 2-903 No comments 18. Section 18 -Amendment to Section 3-1402.E Comments: a. This Code provision is probably there for a specific reason (see Section 20 for the reason. It is a requirement of our subdivision design standards. Either it is appropriate and necessary according to the subdivision design standard and this amendment should then be deleted or the subdivision design standards also need to be amended). If it isn't being enforced, then it needs to be deleted entirely. The proposed change expands where this provision was located (US 19) to the entire city adjacent to ~ right-of--way. Has-this been discussed with Engineering as to appropriateness? b. This provision does not have any flexibility as to its enforcement. Suggest some flexibility in the form of additional language "...right-of--way, unless waived or reduced by the City Engineer based on sound en~ineerin~ principals and demonstrated hardship." 19. Section 19 -Amendment to Section 3-1202.D.1 No comments 20. Section 20 -Amendment to Section 3-1904.B Comments: a. See comments above under Section 18. b. This proposal modifies the terminology from "major arterial" to "principal arterial", which is consistent with the terminology of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. No problem with this change. However, since flexibility criteria for many uses in many zoning districts regarding "location" of the use prohibits taking direct access to a "major arterial" street, we need to now go into each of the zoning districts and make the change in street terminolo~v to be consistent with this change. These changes need to be done all at the same time. c. I do not see any provisions for the reduction in right-of--way width for private streets, based on sound engineering principals and demonstrated hardship (??).

INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater Planning Department BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the passage of the Community Development Code in 1999, the Planning Department has reviewed the Code as it applies to certain proposed development and the City process of development review applications. City of Clearwater staff has provided input aimed at improving the Code based on how staff has experienced the Code's performance in various circumstances. City staff developed a list of existing Community Development Code provisions that should be amended to better reflect City development patterns and improve internal processes. As part of the code update process, suggested amendments have been collected from the Planning Department and Public Works Administration. Discussions occurred to make certain that the amendments are workable and not conflicting with other City codes and processes. Page 1 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report ` • • ANALYSIS: The Planning Department is recommending a total of 22 amendments to the Community Development Code. Some amendments present a change in current policy or a new policy issue. Other amendments are editorial in nature or are refinements to existing Community Development Code sections. Please find below a summary of the most noteworthy proposed amendments organized by Code Article. A brief summary of other amendments is also provided here. Also attached is Ordinance No. 7631-06 which includes all of the specific amendments. Within the ordinance document, text that is underlined indicates proposed language and text containing strikethroughs indicate deletions. Article 2 -Zoning Districts ^ Parking Requirements (Pages 5, 14, and 17 - 20 of Ordinance) Ordinance No. 7631-06 provides a revised parking formula to more appropriately reflect a parking requirement for outdoor retail sales, display and/or storage. The existing formula is not specific enough to use as a measure, as it does not refer to the area of land used for outdoor display. This ordinance provides a residential parking requirement for mixed use development iri the Commercial District (C). The provision reduces the chance for inconsistency, provides straightforward requirements, and allows for consistent staff review of mixed use projects with residential components. This ordinance also changes the parking requirement in the Institutional District (I) for assisted living facilities, congregate care, and nursing homes, allowing for consistency. ^ Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment (Page 28 of Ordinance) This ordinance includes a proposed amendment to improve how parking is determined for proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment projects within the Tourist Zoning District. This amendment will ensure that residential development projects will provide adequate parking. Article 3 -Development Standards ^ Off-street Loading and Vehicle Stacking Distances (Pages 7 - 10 of Ordinance) This amendment provides for more comprehensive loading requirements. Text in this section has been replaced for clarity. The table has been reorganized for ease of use. The list of land uses and corresponding loading space requirements is expanded. The amendment reduces loading requirements for office, restaurant, and retail sales and service uses.

Article 4 -Development Review and Other Procedures ^ Annexations (Pages 2 - 4 of Ordinance) ~~ ti ~` V ~ V ~~~ ~~~ In an effort to expedite the timeframe required for processing annexations, this ordinance streamlines the annexation petition process by removing Community Development review as a step in the annexation approval process. This amendment will reduce the time required to annex property by at least-~9-days--' Other Amendments Proposed Ordinance 7631-06 includes a significant number of amendments that the Planning Department believes will assist residents and staff but do not have major policy implications. These amendments include: • Providing code for dead-end parking aisles (discouraging dead-end parking aisles, but in limited cases allowing them with a adequate maneuvering area) and establishing a review process for same; • Making the Code consistent with other law or rules; • Amending the definitions section with regard to "monument sign" to remove a limiting description of what the sign base is, as a monument sign is not always supported by a minimum of two columns; • Improving general landscaping standards to provide consistent references, such as "attached dwellings", instead of "multi-family residential", clarifying street types as collectors, major or minor, and clarifying buffer requirements; and N~~i,~ • Replacing a graphic to clarify City requirements for Right-of--Way widths, improving the function and readability of text and the table. ~ ~~/ CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS: ?Yt-~G a ~ d~~/ /~~ Code Section 4-601 specifies the procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments. Any code amendment must comply with the following. 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies, objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Page 3 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report .. Below is a selected list of goals, policies, objectives from the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan that are furthered by the proposed amendments to the Community Development Code: • Goal 4 -The City of Clearwater shall ensure that all development or redevelopment initiatives meet the safety, environmental, and aesthetic needs of the City through consistent implementation of the Community Development Code. The proposed amendments provide for increased parking requirements for residential development. 2. The proposed amendments Development Code and othe implement the Plan. further the purposes of the Community r City ordinances and actions designed to The proposed text amendments include a broad range of regulations ranging from permitted uses, standards, procedures, and definitions. The proposed amendments are consistent with the provisions of Section 1-103 that lists the purposes of the Code.

They also further the original redevelopment goals that established the Code. Existing Community Development Code provisions are amended to better reflect City development patterns and improve internal processes. The Planning Department Staff recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 7631-06 which makes revisions to the Community Development Code. Prepared by Planning Department : /~ G~~ (/J . -~ Michael H.

INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater Planning Department BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the passage of the Community Development Code in 1999, the Planning Department has reviewed the Code as it applies to certain proposed development and the City process of development review applications. City of Clearwater staff has provided input aimed at improving the Code based on how staff has experienced the Code's performance in various circumstances. City staff developed a list of existing Community Development Code provisions that should be amended to better reflect City development patterns and improve internal processes. As part of the code update process, suggested amendments have been collected from the Planning Department and Public Works Administration. Discussions occurred to make certain that the amendments are workable and not conflicting with other City codes and processes. Page 1 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report • Z_ ANALYSIS: The Planning Department is recommending a total of 22 amendments to the Community Development Code. Some amendments present a change in current policy or a new policy issue. Other amendments are editorial in nature or are refinements to existing Community Development Code sections. Please find below a summary of the most noteworthy proposed amendments organized by Code Article. A brief summary of other amendments is also provided here. Also attached is Ordinance No. 7631-06 which includes all of the specific amendments. Within the ordinance document, text that is underlined indicates proposed language and text containing strikethroughs indicate deletions. Article 2 - Zoning Districts Parking Requirements (Pages 5, 14, and 17 - 20 of Ordinance) Ordinance No. 7631-06 provides a revised parking formula to more appropriately reflect a parking requirement for outdoor retail sales, display and/or storage. The existing formula is not specific enough to use as a measure, as it does not refer to the area of land used for outdoor display. This ordinance provides a residential parking requirement for mixed use development in the Commercial District (C). The provision reduces the chance for inconsistency, provides straightforward requirements, and allows for consistent staff review of mixed use projects with residential components. This ordinance also changes the parking requirement in the Institutional District (I) for assisted living facilities, congregate care, and nursing homes, allowing for consistency. ^ Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment (Page 28 of Ordinance) This ordinance includes a proposed amendment to improve how parking is determined for proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment projects within the Tourist Zoning District. This amendment will ensure that residential development projects will provide adequate parking. Article 3 -Development Standards ^ Off-street Loading and Vehicle Stacking Distances (Pages 7 - 10 of Ordinance) This amendment provides for more comprehensive loading requirements. Text in this section has been replaced for clarity. The table has been reorganized for ease of use. The list of land uses and corresponding loading space requirements is expanded. The amendment reduces loading requirements for office, restaurant, and retail sales and service uses. Page 2 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report The existing Community Development Code does not provide a measure for stacking, other than for drive-through facilities. The amendment provides specifications for stacking distances. ^ Comprehensive Sign Program (Page 24 of Ordinance) This amendment enables certain monument sign proposals to be eligible for comprehensive sign program review. Article 4 -Development Review and Other Procedures ^ Annexations (Pages 2 - 4 of Ordinance) In an effort to expedite the timeframe required for processing annexations, this ordinance streamlines the annexation petition process by removing Community Development review as a step in the annexation approval process. This amendment will reduce the time required to annex property by at least 30 days. Other Amendments Proposed Ordinance 7631-06 includes a significant number of amendments that the Planning Department believes will assist residents and staff but do not have major policy implications. These amendments include: • Providing code for dead-end parking aisles (discouraging dead-end parking aisles, but in limited cases allowing them with a adequate maneuvering area) and establishing a review process for same; • Making the Code consistent with other law or rules; • Amending the definitions section with regard to "monument sign" to remove a limiting description of what the sign base is, as a monument sign is not always supported by a minimum of two columns; • Improving general landscaping standards to provide consistent references, such as "attached dwellings", instead of "multi-family residential", clarifying street types as collectors, major or minor, and clarifying buffer requirements; and • Replacing a graphic to clarify City requirements for Right-of--Way widths, improving the function and readability of text and the table. CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS: Code Section 4-601 specifies the procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments. Any code amendment must comply with the following. 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies, objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Page 3 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report 1 Below is a selected list of goals, policies, objectives from the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan that are furthered by the proposed amendments to the Community Development Code: • Goal 4 -The City of Clearwater shall ensure that all development or redevelopment initiatives meet the safety, environmental, and aesthetic needs of the City through consistent implementation of the Community Development Code. The proposed amendments provide for increased parking requirements for residential development. 2. The proposed amendments further the purposes of the Community Development Code and other City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan. The proposed text amendments include a broad range of regulations ranging from permitted uses, standards, procedures, and definitions. The proposed amendments are consistent with the provisions of Section 1-103 that lists the purposes of the Code. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The proposed amendments to the Community Development Code are consistent with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the Community Development Code. They also further the original redevelopment goals that established the Code. Existing Community Development Code provisions are amended to better reflect City development patterns and improve internal processes. The Planning Department Staff recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 7631-06 which makes revisions to the Community Development Code. Prepared by Planning Department : /~ Ghte~C f/J . Michael H.

A. Intent: http://www.ci.milton.fl.us/departments/planning/article5part3.htm 8/18/2006 Article V: Milton, Florida • Page 9 of 12 It is the intent of this subsection to provide for tree preservation and planting in off-street, paved parking areas, to help preserve the ecological balance of the environment, to reduce heat and glare, to provide a buffer from street noise and incompatible land uses, and to reduce the degrading effects of thermal pollution and/or storm water runoff. The requirements of this section shall be in addition to the requirements of Section V-3.6, Section V-5.6 and other places within these regulations (Ref: Ord# 1008) B. Applicability: The following requirements shall apply to all land uses and districts within the City of Milton, excepting single family and duplex residential uses and agricultural uses. 1. Tree Planting -Any new or expanded paving areas constructed after the adoption of these regulations shall require the planting of a minimum of one tree, as defined in Section V-S.1.B, for each 2000 square feet of paved area or fraction thereof. Less than 2000 square feet of paved area requires planting of one tree; 2001 to 4000 square feet requires two trees; 4001 to 6000 square feet requires three trees; etc. Trees shall be required to be planted prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Tree planting areas shall have a minimum width of five (5) feet. Tree planting areas shall have the minimum width necessary to support the future growth of the specific tree planted. In no case, shall such width be less than five (5) feet. 2. Tree Preservation -Any existing tree with a crown located within the paved area or within ten feet of the parking area shall be eligible for credit toward the required tree planting. Where new or expanded paved areas are constructed, the following credit schedule maybe applied for existing trees on-site which will be preserved. Such credits shall be subject to the approval of the Planning and Development Department. CREDIT SCHEDULE Existing Crown Spread of Preserved Tree Diameter of Trunk of Preserved Tree Number of Trees Credited 90 ft. or greater in diameter 36 inches or greater in diameter ~ 60-89 ft. in diameter 30-35 inches in diameter 6 50-59 ft. in diameter 26-29 inches in diameter ~ 5 40-49 ft. in diameter 20-25 inches in diameter 4 30-39 ft. in diameter 13-19 inches in diameter 3 http://www.ci.milton.fl.us/departments/planning/article5part3.htm 8/18/2006 Article V: Milton, Florida • 20-29 ft. in diameter 8-12 inches in diameter 2 II 16-19 ft. in diameter II 4-7 inches in diameter II 1 II NOTE: Crown spread measurements shall be rounded off the nearest whole foot, and the tree trunk diameter measurement shall be rounded off to the nearest whole inch. A reduction of required parking spaces in any zoned area in the City of Milton maybe allowed when the reduction would result in the preservation of a tree(s) with a trunk diameter of twelve (12) inches or greater. The following reduction schedule shall apply: REDUCTION SCHEDULE Number of Required Parking Spaces Reduction of Required Parking Spaces Allowable 0-4 0 5-9 1 10-19 2 20 or above 10% 3. Installation and Protection: Where new trees are installed, a continuous curb or other acceptable means of protection shall be provided to prevent injury to both the tree trunk and to vehicles using the parking area. Such curb will be installed so that an unpaved ground surface around the tree trunk will be retained to allow percolation of water to the root system. Such unpaved ground surface shall include at a minimum the area within ten (10) feet of the tree trunk of fifty (50%) percent of the area within the dripline, whichever is greater. Where existing trees are preserved, tree wells, tree islands or a continuous curb shall be utilized to protect the trunk and root system from alterations to surrounding grade elevations and damage from automobiles. A drainage system, sufficient to allow percolation into permeable soil, shall be provided in the area defined by the drip line of the tree(s). Trees shall not be located in such a manner as to create a hazard to automobile traffic either entering or exiting the parking area. Use of tree planting areas as elements of vehicular control (i.e., medians, traffic or parking separators, etc.) is encouraged. 4. Tree Replacement: Page 10 of 12 http://www.ci.milton.fl.us/departments/planning/article5part3.htm 8/18/2006 Article V: Milton, Florida ~ ~ Page 11 of 12 Any tree planted per'the requirements of this section, which dies shall be replaced by the owner with a tree having a minimum diameter of three inches at time of planting. 5. Maintenance: It shall be the duty of the property owner on whose land off-street parking or other vehicular use area is installed, to provide proper maintenance of the landscape plantings. This includes, but is not limited to the replacement of plants damaged by insects, diseases, vehicular traffic, acts of God and vandalism. Necessary replacement shall be made within a time period not to exceed thirty (30) days after notification by the Code Enforcement Officer. V-5.6 Landscaping Requirements Development of any parcel of land, excepting construction of residential structures containing two dwelling units or less, shall require that a minimum often (10%) percent of the site development area of the parcel, be devoted to landscape material as previously defined in this section. Generally, detention and retention ponds shall not qualify as landscape area; however, retention and detention ponds less than three feet in depth may qualify as landscaped area provided that the fencing requirements stated in Section V-6 do not apply. The total number of parking spaces required by these land development regulations maybe reduced as determined by the appropriate development approval authority, to the extent necessary to comply with this section. Retention and detention ponds required to have protective fencing (see Section V-6, Stormwater Management) shall be aesthetically screened from the public view by providing a landscaped buffer along the edge of the fencing. This buffer zone shall be landscaped with shrubs and/or trees, as defined in this section, at a minimum of one tree or shrub per five linear feet. In addition to these landscaping provisions, specific buffer requirements are contained within the individual districts of the Schedule of District Regulations in order to mitigate adjacent land use incompatibilities. Requirements for separation strips between roadway rights-of--way and off-street parking areas are contained in Section V-3.6, Access Management. V-5.7 Enforcement http://www.ci.milton.fl.us/departments/planning/article5part3.htm 8/18/2006 Article V: Milton, Florida ~ ~ Page 12 of 12 No building permit shall be issued for any building or structure (unless exempt from the provisions of this section) until the developer has demonstrated through submission of a site plan to the Planning and Development Department that said development is in compliance with the requirements of this section. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any building or structure until a determination has been made by the Planning and Development Department that the development is in compliance with this section. Any site plan required by this section may be combined with any site plan required for lot coverage purposes. The site plan shall indicate all protected trees on the site and which protected trees shall be preserved and those proposed to be destroyed. If the development is subject to the requirements contained in subsection V-5.4, the site plan shall also indicate the location and type of landscape material. V-5.8 Penalties (Ref: Ord #929) Any violation of these regulations, including failure to obtain or abide by the provisions of a permit, is declared to be unlawful; and whenever these regulations require the doing of any act, failure to do the act is declared to be unlawful.

Article IV Nonconforming Uses and Structures 401 NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES: The following provisions shall apply to all nonconforming uses and structures. It is the intention of the City of Farrell that all legal nonconforming uses and structures shall be able to continue; however, all changes in such uses shall only be as allowed in this Article. A. Any nonconforming use may be continued, but may not be extended or expanded unless to a conforming use, except as permitted by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. B. Any nonconforming building which has been damaged or destroyed by fire or any other means may be reconstructed and used as before, if such reconstruction is performed within twelve (12) months of discontinuance of use and if the restored building covers no greater area and contains no greater cubic content. Reconstruction shall follow the procedure established for existing lots of record in this Ordinance. C. If a nonconforming structure is reoccupied by any lawful use within that district, which involves no physical change to the structure's dimensions, all yard, lot and area requirements shall be waived. Yard, lot and area requirements shall apply to nonconforming use or structure changes requiring a special exception. D. In the event that any nonconforming use, conducted in a structure ceases, for voluntary reasons, for a period of one (1) year, such nonconforming use shall not be resumed and any further use shall be in conformity with the provisions of this Ordinance. E. The nonconforming use of a building may be extended throughout those parts thereof which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of adoption of this Ordinance. F. A nonconforming use may be changed to a different nonconforming use with the approval of the Board as a special exception provided that the Board finds the new use less potentially injurious to the health, safety and welfare of its neighborhood, and more consistent with the permitted uses within the zoning district. 45 • • G. A building or structure hosting a nonconforming use may, with the approval of the Board as a special exception, be extended, enlarged or replaced if the floor area of the additional or expanded building space is less than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the building occupied by the nonconforming use before the expansion or enlargement. H. Nothing contained herein shall require any change in the overall layout, plans, construction, size or designated use of any development, building, structure or part thereof for which official approval and required permits have been granted prior to the effective date of this Ordinance and where construction is completed within six (6) months from the date of issuance of the permit. I. Once changed to a conforming use, no structure or land shall be permitted to revert to a nonconforming use. J. Whenever the boundaries of a district shall be changed so as to transfer an area from one district to another of a different classification, this Article shall also apply to any use which thereby becomes nonconforming. 402 EXISTING LOTS OF RECORD: The following provisions shall apply to all lots of record as defined. It is the intention of the City of Farrell that the side and rear yard requirements of this Zoning Ordinance should not prevent the reasonable use of a lot of record. A. Any lot of record existing at the effective date of this Ordinance, and held in separate ownership different from the ownership of adjoining lots, may be used for the erection of a structure conforming to the use regulations of the district in which it is located even though its lot area and width are less than the minimum required by this Ordinance. However, such lot must comply with the yard, height and coverage standards of the zoning district wherein it is located. However, to prevent the overcrowding of housing, any land or building to be developed as multiple-family dwellings must conform to all area, height and yard regulations for the district in which it is located. B. If two (2) or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage of this Ordinance, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width and area, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this Ordinance, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements established by this Ordinance. C. No division of any parcel shall be made which creates a lot width or area below the requirements for its current or intended use, and zoning district as stated in this Ordinance. 46 u D. No provisions of this Zoning Ordinance relating to side and rear yard requirements shall prevent the reasonable use of a lot of record. The Zoning Officer, upon request, may grant a reduction in requirement for side yards and rear yards for lots of record which lack required lot width and/or required lot area. However, in no event may such yards be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) required by the lot regulations for its district without approval of the Zoning Hearing Board. 47 Article V Off-Street Loading and Parking 501 OFF-STREET LOADING AND PARKING: Off-street loading and parking space shall be provided in accordance with the specifications in this section in all districts, whenever any new use is established or an existing one is enlarged, except that unless required by special exception or conditional use, all uses in the C-1 Commercial District are exempt from these provisions. Otherwise lawful uses occupying apre-existing structure and making no physical changes to the buildings dimensions shall also be exempt, provided there are no conditional use or special exception requirements, and that there are adequate on-street or available off-street spaces to meet the requirements within two hundred (200) feet of the development as determined by the Zoning Officer. A. Truck and Trailer Parking in Residentially Zoned Areas Prohibited: No semi- tractor, trailer, or combination thereof, or similar vehicle having a registered gross weight in excess of seventeen thousand (17,000) pounds, which requires a commercial driver's license, shall be parked, either on-street or off-street in any area of the City designated by the City's Zoning Ordinance as an R-Resident District unless said vehicle is either parked or stopped for the purpose of delivering or picking up merchandise or materials from a residence or commercial establishment in those districts, or a suitable off- street parking space is provided on a lot of greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. B.

These uniform sizes shall be exclusive of access drives or aisles, and shall be in usable shape and condition. Parking areas shall be designed to provide sufficient turnaround area so that vehicles are not required to back onto public streets. Where an existing lot does not abut on a public or private street, alley or easement of access, there shall be provided a lawful • service drive leading to the parking or storage areas or loading spaces. Such lawful service drive shall not be less than ten (10) feet wide. Access to off-street parking areas shall be limited to well-defined locations, and in no case shall there be unrestricted access along a street. Specifically, single- lanedriveways shall be at least ten (10) feet wide but shall not exceed twelve (12) feet. Double drives (for ingress and egress) may be up to twenty-four (24) feet wide. All lawful service drives must comply with standards as maintained by the City Engineer. With the exception of lawful service drives and approved parking spaces in parking lots, no motor vehicles shall be stored in front yard areas. B.

Page 1 Amendments to the Community Development Code, Proposed Ordinance No. 7631-06 Staff Report R ~ 2v ANALYSIS: ~ The Planning Department is recommending a total of 6 mendments to the Community Development Code. Some amendments present a cha ge in current policy or a new policy issue. Other amendments are editorial in nature or are refinements to existing Community Development Code sections. Please find below a summary of the most noteworthy proposed amendments organized by Code Article. A brief summary of other amendments is also provided here. Also attached is Ordinance No. 7631-06 which includes all of the specific amendments. Within the ordinance document, text that is underlined indicates proposed language and text containing strikethroughs indicate deletions. Article 2 - Zoning Districts ^ Parking Requirements (Pages X\ X~ and XX - XX of Ordinance) Ordinance No. 7631-06 provides a revised parking formula to more appropriately reflect a parking requirement for outdoor retail sales, display and/or storage. The ~ existing formula is not specific enough to use as a measure, as it does not refer to the l/ ~~. area of land used for outdoor display. This ordinance provides a residential parking ~ ~~ requirement for mixed use development. The provision reduces the chance for ~,~~ inconsistency, provides straightforward requirements, and allows for consistent staff review of mixed use projects with residential components. This ordinance also changes the parking requirement for assisted living facilities, congregate care, and _ I~ ~IllJ~ nursing homes, allowing for consistency. -~ ~~` _L ~, ^ Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment (Pages XX - XX of Ordinance) (~~ This ordinance includes a proposed amendment to improve how parking is determined for proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment projects within the Tourist Zoning District. This amendment will ensure that residential development projects will provide adequate parking. Article 3 -Development Standards ~+ Off-street~ading and~rehicle~ackistances (Page X~ of Ordinance) ~1 ~,C~ This amendment provides for more comprehensive loading requirements.

The existing Community Development Code provisions for site lighting are very general, do not include design criteria and are non-specific. The proposed code provides a detailed set of site lighting requirements with design criteria. Article 4 -Development Review and Other Procedures ^ Annexations (Pages XX - XX of Ordinance) In an effort to expedite the timeframe required for processing annexations, this ordinance streamlines the annexation petition process by removing Comm nity evelo~ment review as a step in the annexation approval process. i~J1rS ~,(~ ~ `/~~ ~-~ ~~, r dry -{o i~'U~ o~'cu~ Other Amendments ~ ~ ~ ~-~ ,s Proposed Ordinance 7631-06 includes a significant number of amendments that the Planning Department believes will assist residents and staff but do not have major policy implications.

Standards: The complete installation of the area lightinq system shall comply with applicable local codes and ordinances and meet the recommended illumination levels and uniformity ratios of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (I.E.S.), as set forth in this section. The responsibility for performance to this specification, in its entirety, cannot be split up among individual suppliers of components comprising the system, but must be assumed solely by a single supplier. 3. Testing: Upon completion of installation, the system shall be subject to inspection by the City Engineer, at their discretion, to determine compliance with criteria set forth herein. Computer verification shall be made available upon request. 4. Design Criteria: a. General: In determining a lightinq design, consideration shall be given to the architectural and environmental aspects of the facility it is to serve. This consideration shall be instrumental in determining type of fixture (cutoff or non-cutoff luminaire), mounting height, and light source. b. Light Control and Spillage: Cutoff luminaries, utilizing I.E.S. Type III distribution, or fixtures provided with cutoff "shielding", shall be used around the perimeter of a facility in order to limit glare and light spillage onto adjacent properties. All cutoff luminaries shall shield the light source at angles above 72 degrees from vertical, limiting effective light throw to three (3) mounting heights. Lighting shall be directed away from residential properties bordering commercial areas. Average illumination levels of exits, entrances, trafficway collector lanes, pedestrian walkways, and loading zones shall be approximately twice the illumination level of parking areas they are contiguous with, or approximately twice the illumination of any adjoining streets, whichever is greater. c.
