Transfer Development Rights <br /> The Applicant is requesting to approve the utilization of private TDRs in the amount of <br /> 51,287 square feet of development rights and 27 dwelling units. The private TDRs are <br /> from Palermo Beach, LLC account in the amount of 58,500 square feet and 30 dwelling <br /> units. The effect of the TDR's purchase and approval on the project would be an <br /> increase in F.A.R. The Applicant shall provide the necessary documents to establish <br /> ownership of the TDRs. <br /> 3. Traffic Engineering <br /> Traffic Impact Analysis: <br /> The traffic study was done by David Plummer & Associates, Inc. dated October 2012 and <br /> submitted by the Applicant on 10/30/12. The study analyzed the Unique project and <br /> concluded that intersections currently operate, and will continue to operate within the <br /> City's adopted LOS standards. <br /> VI. FINAL ANALYSIS <br /> Based on the above review, the application is generally consistent with the City's <br /> Comprehensive Plan and the City's Land Development Regulations. As a point of <br /> information, the City previously approved the Da Vinci site plan on December 8, 2005 <br /> which was a similar development on the same property. However, the Unique project <br /> has less density. <br /> Staff finds the beach access waiver to be appropriate in this case due to the fact that <br /> there are existing beach access points adjacent to this property both to the South and <br /> North. The creation of a new beach access would be a safety hazard. Moreover, Staff <br /> finds the use of murals and graphics on temporary construction fencing is warranted. At <br /> this time, City Staff has no objection to the Applicant's requests, and Zoning/TDRs <br /> applications. <br /> 7 <br /> U:\PLANNING&ZONING2008\ZONING HEARING-APPLICATIONS\2012 APPLICATION\Z2012-14 UNIQUE <br />
