BCC Workshop - Direction on TMD
The Board of County Commission provide staff with the following direction on the AGR-TMD.  Staff requested direction on the issues below in order for the  Planning Division to proceed with accepting application for Round 05-01 of Land Use Amendments and the Zoning Division to finalize Unified Land Development Code language for Traditional Marketplace Developments.   

A. APPLICABLE TO ALL TMDS

1. Inclusion of parking structures.

- The TMD design is intended to be an intense, compact form of development that maximizes usable surface area. The ability to include a parking structure would allow greater flexibility in design and more efficient utilization of land.

- Staff recommends allowing structures up to three stories, which are adequately designed and buffered.   

BCC motion 4 to 2 in favor of parking garages as long as architecturally treated and buffered from community.  Justify needed to ensure compactness of development and walkability of users.

B. APPLICABLE TO AGR-TMD ONLY

1. Number of TMDs per intersection in Agricultural Reserve.

- The Comprehensive Plan does not specify how many TMDs may be permitted in
the Agricultural Reserve. The only limitation is that they must be located within a quarter mile of the two eligible intersections.

- Staff continues to recommend that one TMD be permitted per intersection. This will allow for the proper massing and organization of uses in design. 

BCC motion 4-2  to allow one TMD per intersection at Boynton and Lyons and at West Atlantic and Lyons. 

2. Allocation of square footage for Agricultural Reserve TMDs.

- The Comprehensive Plan states that 750,000 square feet of commercial space may be allocated to TMDs in the Agricultural Reserve. No distribution of this
square footage between the two intersections is specified.

-Staff recommends that the space be equally distributed between the two intersections.   

BCC motion  4 to 2 to allow a maximum of 375,000 sq/ft at each of the two intersections, but submit a phasing program on how to be built.

3. Application of residential component.

- Two methods of providing residences are available in the Agricultural Reserve
TMDs. The first is a Live/Work unit, which is calculated based on non-residential
square footage and not residential density. The second is the underlying
residential density, which is up to 1 unit per acre.

-Staff recommends that the residential component be a strongly encouraged element of all TMDs.   

BCC motion 4 to 2 to allow a  residential component
