§ 3.02.02. Establishment of IPD Zoning Districts

A.

Boundaries of the I-75 Corridor

The boundaries of the I-75 Corridor (i.e., the areas in which Interstate 75 Planned Development (IPD) districts can be requested or applied) shall correspond with the following Categories of the Comprehensive Plan.

Interstate Planned Development (IPD-1) = CMU-12

Interstate Planned Development (IPD-2) = UMU-20

Interstate Planned Development (IPD-3) = RMU-35

B.

Requests For Rezoning Within Corridor

1.

Requests for amendment to the existing zoning in the I-75 Corridor may be requests for the IPD District. The approval of new PD rezonings within the I-75 Corridor may be conditioned to the greatest degree practicable with the provisions of this Part.

2.

The requirements for right-of-way as shown in Figures 3.27 through 3.31 shall apply to PD zonings in the I-75 Corridor, except where modified by the Board of County Commissioners.

C.

Relationship of IPD Regulation to Other Code Provisions; Modification Based on Equal Satisfaction of Public Purposes

1.

Unless specifically stated herein, or in the approval conditions of an IPD district, the general zoning requirements found elsewhere in the Land Development Code shall apply to development in the IPD districts.

2.

Where actions, designs or solutions proposed by the applicant are not literally in accord with applicable IPD or general zoning regulations, but the Board of County Commissioners makes a written finding, in the particular case, that the public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree, the Board of County Commissioners may make specific modification of the regulations in the particular case. However, where floor area and similar ratios, as well as maximum permitted densities, have been established by these regulations, the Board of County Commissioners shall not act in a particular case to modify such ratios or maximums.

D.

Methods for Establishment of IPD Districts

Interstate-75 Planned Development (IPD) Districts may be established by amending the Official Zoning Atlas and related amendatory action; changing the designation of a tract, parcel, lot or lots, from the existing classification to one of the IPD districts, in accordance with the development standards and review criteria contained herein. Amendments shall be initiated, reviewed and decided in accordance with 5.03.03.
