HomeMy WebLinkAboutKAUFMAN & ROBINSON OFFICE DEVELOPMENT - PDP - 40-08 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 -9. Application forms and PDP submittal requirement checklists can be found online at http://fcgov.com/currentr)lanning/submittals.i)hi3. 10. As we discussed at the Conceptual Review meeting, it may be in your best interest to plan for room for a future expansion with this development plan submittal. It was mentioned that the intent of the 80 foot setback of Industrial buildings from all residential districts is to provide a buffer area between the two uses. Since there is an existing pond to the east of the property and therefore an associated natural feature buffer will be required on your site, there may be justification for a reduction in the 80 foot setback requirement, provided that the natural feature buffer and proposed screening is sufficient. To request a modification to this standard (or any other standard in the Land Use Code) you will need to follow the Modification of Standard procedures and criteria set forth in Division 2.8 of the Land Use Code. 11. Please contact me if you have questions about specific submittal requirements. 12.
