APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
A PUD encourages design flexibility in location of buildings, open space, and provision of
amenities. Development in a PUD district does not follow pre -set dimensional requirements
(setbacks, heights of buildings), or intensity limitations (floor- area - ratio, or dwelling units per
acre). These standards are set forth as part of the project's master site plan.
The following sections of the City's Land Development Code govern the general design,
development, and review of a PUD application:
Section 20 -3,7 (A) -(B) Planned Unit Development — provides design guidelines for all PUD's
regulating density, traffic, screening, off - street parking, service areas, building heights, and
pedestrian amenities.
Section 20 -5.12 Planned Unit Development approvals — sets forth regulations governing the
review procedures and submittal requirements for all PUD's.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
The subject property is bounded by SW 68th Street on the south, SW 57th Ave. on the east, SW
66th Street on the north. The west boundary is a FPL transmission facility and a driveway into the
City's Community Center.. The property is occupied by a parking lot and three one -story
buildings used for offices, a real estate school, a foreign consulate, a social service agency and a
night club.
