                                                              SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REGULATIONS

 

 

SECTION 1:  PURPOSE AND INTENT

 

The purpose of this chapter is to establish uniform requirements and procedures for reviewing applications for site plan approval.  It is further the intent of this chapter to establish procedures and standards to implement the goals and policies of the Town of Lady Lake Comprehensive Plan and to ensure compliance with the intent, standards and procedures of all applicable land development regulations.

 

 

SECTION 2:  APPLICABILITY

 

All construction, including site improvements (except those required to meet Subdivision regulations), of building improvements for new structures, increases in the size of a structure, or changing the use of a structure, shall be required to comply with the requirements of this chapter; except where exempted in the Developmental Procedures and Regulations chapter.

 

 

SECTION 3:  DESIGNATION OF PLANS AS MAJOR OR MINOR DEVELOPMENT

 

For purposes of review and approval under the Code, all plans shall be designated as Minor Development or Major Development as outlined below:

 

a)             Major Development 

 

                A development plan shall be designated as a major development if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

 

                1)             The plan proposes the development of seven (7) or more dwelling units; or

 

                2)             The plan proposes the development of two thousand (2,000) or more square feet of non-residential floor space; or

 

                3)             The plan proposes to add more than forty percent (40%) new impervious area to that which is already existing on the site; or

 

                4)             The plan meets the requirement for Conceptual Plan submittal for rezoning to either a PFD or PUD district; or

 

                5)             The plan is part of a larger development proposal or poses special development issues that, in the opinion of the Town Manager, require the additional review of a major development, or

 

                6)             Where two (2) or more minor site plan requests or administrative approval requests for a single project area/site have been submitted and approved over any one (1) year period, the Town Manager may require any subsequent request to be reviewed pursuant to the criteria of a major development.

 

b)            Minor Development 

 

                A development plan shall be designated as a minor development if it fails to meet the criteria for major development.

 

c)             Exemptions 

 

                Single-family and duplex dwelling units or minor appurtenances thereto, such as residential swimming pools, fences, yard, etc. are exempt from site plan review.

 

 

SECTION 4:  PARKING REQUIREMENTS

 

a)             General Provisions

 

                1)             Off-Street Parking Required.  Off street parking facilities shall be provided for all development within the Town pursuant to the requirements of this Code.  The facilities shall be maintained as long as the use exists that the facilities were designed to serve.

 

                2)             Computation

 

                                A)           Fractional Spaces.  When the number of off-street spaces required by this Code results in a fractional space, the fraction shall be counted as one (1) parking space.

 

                                B)            Fixed Seats and Assembly Areas.  In cases where a place of assembly has both fixed seats and open assembly area, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.

 

                                C)            Benches.  In stadiums, sports arenas, churches, and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews or other similar seating facilities, each twenty (20) inches of seating facilities shall be counted as one (1) seat.

 

                                D)            Gross Floor Area.  Unless otherwise stated herein, square feet shall be defined as gross floor area.  Gross floor area shall be the sum of the gross horizontal area of all floors of a building measured from the exterior faces of the exterior walls.

 

b)            Required Off Street Parking Spaces

 

                1)             Minimum Requirements.  The matrix below specifies the required minimum number of off-street motor vehicle and bicycle parking spaces and, in the notes, any special requirements that may apply.

 

                2)             Uses Not Listed.  The number of parking spaces required for uses not listed in the matrix shall be determined by the Town based upon information provided by the applicant.  Applicable information shall include requirements for similar uses and appropriate traffic engineering and planning data necessary to establish a minimum number of parking spaces based upon the principles of this Code.

 

                3)             Multiple Uses.  Where a combination of uses is proposed for development, parking shall be provided for each of the uses as prescribed by the matrix unless a reduction is granted as specified later in this section.
