preliminary and final plats will now have 1" = 10' (in addition to 1" = 20' and 1" = 30') as an
acceptable scale. Preliminary engineering plans must be prepared on sheets dimensioned at 24" X 36",
and vicinity maps will now be required to be prepared at a legible scale and include sufficient
landmarks to allow quick identification of the proposed project's location.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 17, 2007
AGENDA NO: IV.B.
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF ACITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR), AMENDING SECTION 2.4.3.,
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS, TO SPECIFY AND MAKE CONSISTENT
THE ACCEPTABLE SCALES AT WHICH VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT
PLANS MUST BE PREPARED.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding acity-
initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) Section 2.4.3, Submission
Requirements, to address plan scales and to provide consistency.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may
not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
A similar LDR text amendment was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board at the
November 19, 2007 regular meeting. The item was continued with staff directed to exclude
the architectural and floor plans from the same requirements that would apply to site plans,
landscape plans, engineering plans, etc., since they are typically drawn at an architect's
scale and not at an engineer's scale. While including the language to provide for this
exclusion, staff noted that other specific plans should be included in those to be drawn at
an engineer's scale; the attached ordinance reflects this refinement to include photometric
plans, survey plans, and irrigation plans.
The primary purpose of this amendment is to specify the required scales to which various
components of development plans must be prepared. Currently, the site plan, landscaping plan,
preliminary engineering plans, and all other plans, must be consistent, and this amendment
specifies that 1" = 10` 1" = 20', and 1" = 30' are acceptable. At the Board's discretion, the clause
'and all other plans' is stricken, and architectural and floor plans are specifically excluded from the
engineering scale requirement. Also, a single preliminary engineering plan that shows all
proposed improvements (i.e. composite) must utilize an engineering scale, however, it can be
drawn at a scale other than those specified above. Further, preliminary and final plats will now
have 1" = 10' (in addition to 1" = 20' and 1" = 30") as an acceptable scale. Preliminary engineering
plans must be prepared on sheets dimensioned at 24" X 36", and vicinity maps will now be
required to be prepared at a legible scale and include sufficient landmarks to allow quick
identification of the proposed project.

Comprehensive Plan Conformance
LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings) requires that the City Commission make a finding that the text

Comprehensive Plan. The following objective was identified:
Objective A-5 states that "[t]he City shall maintain its Land Development Regulations, which
shall be regularly reviewed and updated, to provide streamlining of processes..." The
proposed amendment furthers this objective and is therefore consistent.
