SANTA ROSA COUNTY, FLORIDA CODE VOLUME II

Appendix C. LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE

Article 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 4.04.00. Site plan approval.

Latest version.

Wherever in this ordinance site plan approval is required, the following procedures and requirements shall be followed; except where an interior use change does not result in exterior additions, provided, however, that when additional parking is required pursuant to this ordinance, as a prerequisite to any change of use, or the addition to any multiple-family or commercial building or structure, site plan approval shall be required.

4.04.01. General procedure.

All applications shall include a verified statement showing each and every individual person having a legal and/or equitable ownership interest in the property upon which the application for site plan approval is sought, except publicly held corporations whose stock exchange is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange in which case the name and address of the corporation and principal executive officers will be sufficient.

Application form. Such application shall be in a form substantially in accordance with the form prescribed by the county planner (director, community planning, zoning and development division), copies of which may be obtained from the community planning, zoning and development division. A written power of attorney authorizing a person other than the owner(s) to sign such application must be attached to and accompany said application and submitted to the community planning, zoning and development division.

Application fee. A fee shall be required for filing said application in amounts specified by the county commission. A schedule of such fees shall be maintained in the community planning, zoning and development division.

Department review. The application shall be forwarded to the county building department and such other departments as may be pertinent. Departments shall then proceed to make appropriate studies and/or reviews and take into consideration the recommendations of other county departments concerned with the attendant problems including by [but] not limited to waste water systems, refuse collection, surface water drainage, water supply, fire protection, buffering for abutting residential properties, pedestrian and vehicular access, internal circulation and vehicular parking, and such other requirements as the county planner deems applicable to make an appropriate evaluation. The evaluative comments shall then be forwarded to the county planning and zoning division for appropriate action. This shall be done with deliberate haste by all departments so as to prevent inconvenience and delay to the project.

Site development. The site plan permit number shall be displayed prior to commencing land disturbing activities. The site plan permit number shall be visible from the road and be displayed at all times.

An applicant for a site plan located in whole or part within a Military Airport Zone shall submit a copy of the site plan and any supporting documents to the military representative who serves as an ex officio member to the local planning board at the time application is delivered to Santa Rosa County. The military representative will have ten (10) days to review the plans and submit written comments to the planning and zoning director. The planning and zoning director shall not approve or recommend to approve any site plan until he has received and reviewed written comments prepared by the military representative.

4.04.02. Conformance with ordinance and comprehensive plan required.

Any building, structure or use shall be erected, altered, installed and/or maintained in full conformity with the provisions of this ordinance, with the site plan approved by the community planning, zoning and development division and with the adopted Comprehensive Plan of Santa Rosa County.

4.04.03. Considerations in reviewing site plans.

Site location and character of use. The zoning districts including bulk regulations, general provisions and the list of permitted accessory and conditional uses, the adequate provision for public services, off-street parking, landscaping, required open spaces, yards and building setbacks and conformance to performance standards shall collectively be the principal guide in determining the suitability of the location of the proposed use. However, the density or intensity of the proposed use shall be compatible with adjacent uses, and the following factors shall be considered as well:

Residential density. The gross density (i.e. units per gross land area of site) of specific site plans and subdivisions shall be compatible with the established range of densities within the impacted area and as established by the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Densities in the higher limits of respective ranges are reserved for sites with the following characteristics:

Sites within highly accessible portion of the district nearest major thoroughfares or minor collectors as opposed to internal residential streets;

Sites abutting the boundary of less restrictive districts where development of relatively higher intensity is permitted. (Similarly, lower densities should be maintained near the boundary of more restrictive districts in order to provide for orderly land use transition and to protect the character of established neighborhoods);

Sites serviced by a sufficient system of public services including, but not limited to, improved streets, sanitary sewerage, and storm sewers or other effective system for managing storm water run-off; and

Sites having natural features including topography, soils, hydrology, and other natural features which are adaptive in the more intense development.

Intensity of non-residential development. In reviewing non-residential development the intensity of the use shall be determined by applying bulk regulations, performance standards and by limiting the amount of impervious cover to a maximum of eighty-five (85) percent.

Appearance of site. The appearances of sites and structures shall be coordinated for the purpose of creating a pleasing and harmonious overall effect. The choice of building materials, plant materials, colors, lighting and other building site improvements shall be commensurate with the objectives of the subject use without generating adverse visual impact on surrounding properties or transportation corridors. The purpose of the guidelines is to ensure that the corridor develops at the highest quality level of development. The result will be an attractive environment which appeals to both residents and visitors, who in turn, will find this a more desirable area in which to live, work, shop and visit.

In the HCD zoning district, standing seam or ribbed metal siding facade is not permitted on any side of a structure that is parallel to or is less than a 90-degree angle to any roadway listed in Comprehensive Plan Policy 4.1.B.5. This requirement does not apply to development within the Rural Protection Zone as identified in the 2007 Rural Development Plan and as subsequently revised.

Architectural style or design is not restricted. Evaluation of a project shall be based on the quality of its design and relationship to the impacted area considering the following factors:

Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware (including satellite receiving dishes) other than antennas and stacks on roofs shall be harmonious with the building or they shall be located and/or screened (in compliance with Section 7.02.05 relative to fences and walls) so as not to be visible from any public ways within the impacted area, except as provided for in Section 7.02.07.

Refuse and waste removal areas shall be screened (in compliance with Section 7.02.05 relative to fences and walls) from adjacent properties and public ways by appropriate fences, wall or hedges. In cases where dumpsters must be located in areas highly visible from any public right-of-way, the county planner shall be authorized to require appropriate vegetative or structural screen to shield an unsightly condition.

All businesses, services or manufacturing or processing shall be conducted within completely enclosed buildings in the M-1 district and more restrictive districts. If the planning and zoning division determines that a demonstrated necessity exists for outside storage or display due to the impracticality and unreasonableness of enclosure of such service, then such storage and display areas or yards shall be screened in compliance with Section 7.02.00 et seq. of this ordinance.

Exterior lighting shall be so arranged as to shield or deflect the light from adjoining properties and public streets. Performance standards of this ordinance shall be complied with.

Access, internal circulation and off-street parking.

In determining whether the criteria of this section are met, the county planner shall consult with the Florida Department of Transportation, the county public works director, the county engineer, and any other relevant county departments or state and federal agencies as deemed necessary. Driveways and areas for the parking and internal circulation of vehicles shall be located, designed and controlled so as to provide for safe and convenient access to and from adjoining public and private streets and rights-of-way. The applicant for site plan approval shall provide vehicular access in accordance with Florida's Department of Transportation Standards and Santa Rosa County standards. In addition to the requirements of this section, the requirements of Article 7 shall be applied for off-street parking and loading. Among factors to be considered shall be the number and location of access drives connecting to adjacent streets, the location and width of driveways and access aisles to parking spaces, the arrangement of parking areas, turning lanes at appropriate locations and means of access to buildings for fire-fighting apparatus and other emergency vehicles.

Parking areas: Parking areas and driveways shall be clearly identified and separated from principal pedestrian routes by curbs, pavement markings, planting areas, fences or similar features designed to promote pedestrian safety.

Parking lot aisle lane widths shall be a minimum of sixteen (16) feet for a one-way aisle and a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet for a two-way aisle. These widths may be reduced by two (2) feet should confines of the site dictate or in an effort to achieve another public purpose. The planning director may determine that another width is more conducive to public safety.

Principle pedestrian routes within a parking lot shall be identified using pavement markings, signage or special payers.

The turning radii on all landscape islands shall be at least four (4.0) feet, and the turning radii of all internal drives shall be no less than ten (10) feet. Parking islands may be delineated with landscape timbers without consideration for the required radius in Impact Fee Area 1 (Rural).

Stop signs, painted pavement messages, directional arrows and/or other pavement markings shall be used to control circulation and the direction of travel within a parking lot.

Corner lots shall provide vehicular access to adjoining lesser classified roadways when the following conditions are met:

Granting the access point will improve safety or traffic circulation along the higher classified road for vehicles, pedestrians, and/or bicycles; and

The access point will not create a safety hazard or significantly impact vehicles, pedestrians, and/or bicycles utilizing the lesser classified street; and

The access point will not direct traffic onto a primarily residential portion of the lesser classified road.

When access is granted pursuant to these conditions, improvements to the lesser classified road shall be required in accordance with the impact of the proposed development. These improvements can include, but are not limited to, pavement enhancement and reinforcement, signal retiming and turn lane additions and/or extensions. For the purpose of this section, classification shall follow the following hierarchy from highest to lowest; arterial roads (major and minor), collector roads (major and minor), and local roads.

Turn Lanes: Development proposals shall provide turning lanes as required according to county specifications and shall be coordinated with the Florida Department of Transportation, as appropriate. Volume warrants for turn lanes shall be based on total peak hour trips generated by the development's use as follows:

Roadway	Right Turn	Left Turn
State
4-lane and 2-lane	50 peak hour trips	40 peak hour trips
County
Projected AADT > 4000	50 peak hour trips	40 peak hour trips
Projected AADT < 4000	75 peak hour trips	40 peak hour trips

See LDC 4.04.03(D) for the specific roadways that will require turn lane analysis.

In order to reduce turning movements on roadways that have not been designated as an access management corridor in Section 4.04.03(D), connection spacing to development sites shall be as shown below. The posted speed limit for all roadway segments which abut the development parcel(s) must be shown on site plan for the development.

Posted Speed Limit {MPH)	Connection Spacing (Feet)
>45	300
35—45	185

Driveway standards: Driveway design features shall be considered as shown in the graphic below.

Driveway Design Features

Source: Adapted from FDOT Driveway Handbook, March 2005

All commercial uses that require submittal of a site plan shall provide a [paved] driveway apron extending from the edge of the existing roadway to the right-of way line. The paying may be composed of asphalt and/or concrete and be in accordance with structural/geometric standards on file in the office of the county engineer. Non-conforming accesses shall be subject to the provisions of section 4.04.03(D)(8).

If the driveway is a one-way in or one-way out drive, then the driveway shall have a minimum width of fourteen (14) feet and maximum width of sixteen (16) feet. All one-way driveways shall have appropriate signage designating the driveway as a one-way connection.

For an unsignalized two-way connection to a public thoroughfare, each lane shall have a width of twelve (12) feet and a maximum of four (4) lanes shall be allowed. Whenever more than two (2) lanes are proposed, entrance and exit lanes shall be divided by a median. The median shall have a minimum area of seventy-five (75) square feet and shall be a minimum of four (4) feet wide.

Driveways that enter the public thoroughfare at traffic signals must have at least two (2) outbound lanes (one for each turning direction) of at least twelve (12) feet in width, and one (1) inbound lane with a twelve (12) feet width.

Driveway grades shall conform to the requirements of FDOT Standard Index #515, Roadways and Traffic Design Standard Indices, latest edition.

Driveway approaches must be designed and located to provide an exiting vehicle with an unobstructed view. In order to provide a clear view of intersecting streets to the motorist, there shall be a visibility triangle formed by two (2) intersecting streets, or the intersection of a driveway and a street, as shown in the graphic below. Nothing shall be erected, placed, parked, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to materially impede vision between a height of two (2) feet and ten (10) feet above the grade within the sight visibility triangle.

Sight Distance

Source: FDOT Site Impact Handbook, April 1997

Sight distance from a driveway intersection shall be protected, as illustrated in the graphic above. The length of the sight distance shall be determined by the posted speed limit for the roadway as shown in the table below:

Speed	Sight Distance (feet)
35	470
40	580
45	710
50	840
55	990
60	1150

The sight distance requirements on roadways under state jurisdiction shall comply with the requirements developed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

Driveways should not interfere with acceleration or deceleration lanes and tapers. Parking areas should not interfere with the functional area of the driveway.

Driveway radius, width, flare and angle shall be adequate to serve the volume of traffic and provide for rapid movement of vehicles off of the public thoroughfare, but shall not be so excessive as to pose safety hazards for pedestrians, bicycles or other vehicles. Ingress/egress driveways shall follow the standards shown in the table below, unless the planning director deems a variation is necessary to enhance public safety. Channelizing medians shall be required for two-way driveways with a radius greater than thirty-five (35) feet and/or with a width of thirty-six (36) feet or greater. For the purposes of this section, "urban" shall mean curb and gutter roadway design and "rural" shall mean flush shoulder roadway design.

100,000 to 149,999	100
Less Than 100,000 square feet	75 Feet

Driveways with directional restrictions, such as right in/right out driveways shall have raised channelizing islands and appropriate internal directional signage. These channelizing islands shall have a minimum area of seventy-five (75) square feet and shall be a minimum of four (4) feet wide.

New driveways on undivided roadways shall be aligned with existing and planned driveways across the roadway if physically possible. If alignment is not physically possible, then the new driveway shall be offset to the maximum extent possible. Minimum offset distances are provided below and should be adhered to unless lot layout along the road frontage makes such distances impossible to meet. In such cases the planning director, in consultation with the engineering department and the Florida Department of Transportation, if applicable, shall make a determination as to how the driveways shall be configured to optimize safety.

Functional Class	Minimum Offset
Major Arterial	600 feet ^a /300 feet;sup\ sup;
Minor Arterial	220 feet
Major Collector	200 feet
Minor Collector	150 feet

^a speed limit ′ 45 mph

;sup\ sup;speed limit < 45 mph

New driveways on divided roadways shall align with existing median openings when feasible.

All exit driveways shall have traffic control devices including stop signs, stop bars and double yellow divider lines on the centerline of the driveway as appropriate. All pavement markings shall be made using thermoplastic paint.

Emergency access. In addition to minimum side, front and rear yard setback and building requirements specified in this Code, all buildings and other development activities, such as landscaping, shall be arranged on site so as to provide safe and convenient access for emergency vehicles.

All development including single family residential construction and driveway construction, connecting to county roads shall obtain a permit from Santa Rosa County prior to construction of a driveway connection.

Failure to obtain a driveway permit prior to construction of any driveway connection or failure to construct a driveway connection in compliance with said permit shall constitute a violation of this ordinance. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to deny access to any private property.

Access management corridors. This section shall apply to properties that abut the roadways designated in the table below. The access classification system and standards of the Florida Department of Transportation shall apply to all roadways on the state highway system. The designated roadways as shown in the table below may be amended by resolution of the board of county commissioners.

All properties fronting on roadways that have been assigned an access management corridor designation shall be entitled reasonable access to public thoroughfares, "Reasonable access" means the minimum number of connections necessary to provide safe and efficient ingress and egress to the roadway. All lots of record or parcels subject to a contract for deed or purchase, as of the respective effective dates of this section, and fronting on those thoroughfares designated in the above table, shall be entitled one (1) driveway/connection per parcel on said public thoroughfare(s). For purposes of this section, contiguous lots under single ownership shall be considered a single parcel.

When a lot or parcel is subdivided, either as metes and bounds parcels or as a recorded plat, all access to newly created lots shall be internalized using a shared circulation system via the permitted access connection(s). The number of connections to the roadway shall be the minimum number necessary to provide reasonable access, not the maximum available for that frontage. The planning director may consider these factors in determining the need for multiple access connections for a development: 1) separation of standard vehicles from heavy trucks or emergency vehicles; 2) two (2) one-way connections that in combination serve ingress and egress to the development; and 3) multiple connections enhance the safety of the abutting roadway and improve the on-site traffic circulation. Single-family residential or duplex development, whether on existing lots of record or on newly created lots, shall provide for a turnaround area if a direct driveway connection is permitted to an access management roadway.

All access to outparcels shall be as direct as possible, avoiding excessive movement across parking aisles and queuing across surrounding parking and driving aisles. Access points shall not be located on major access drive aisles. Outparcels shall be served by a private access drive and shall provide for joint and cross access, shared parking and pedestrian interconnectivity. In addition, the developer shall make improvements to common driveways in accordance with the development's impact as needed.

(1)

Access management system and standards. The following access management system has been developed for roadways under state and local jurisdiction:

Access management standards shall be applied in accordance with the functional classification of a roadway as defined in the table above.

The spacing requirements for driveway connections for parcels located on access management corridors will be as follows:

All roadways under state jurisdiction will meet the access management spacing requirements of the State of Florida and of Santa Rosa County. If the State of Florida requirements are less restrictive, then the requirements of Santa Rosa County may be waived at the discretion of the planning director and the county engineer.

All roadways under county jurisdiction will meet the following spacing requirements:

Roadway Classification	Connection Spacing (in feet)
Principle Arterial (Interstate Highway)	Interchange Only
	>45mph	<45mph
Major/Minor Arterial	660	440
Major Collector	440	245
Minor Collector	300	185

(2)

Connection spacing. Connection spacing shall be measured from the closest edge of the pavement to the next closest edge of the pavement. Where construction plans are available for the widening, relocation, or other improvement is indicated in an adopted transportation plan or the Florida Department of Transportation Five-Year Work Program, the projected future edge of the pavement of the intersecting road shall be used in measuring connection spacing.

(3)

Corner clearance.

Corner clearance for connections shall meet or exceed the minimum connection spacing requirements for the roadway.

New connections shall not be permitted within the functional area of an intersection or interchange. Where no other alternative accesses exist, such as joint use driveways or cross access, the county planner may allow construction of an access connection along the property line furthest from the intersection. In such cases, directional connections may be required. Site plans for developments which are located near intersections shall demonstrate the functional area of the intersection.

In addition to the required minimum lot size, all corner lots created after the effective date of this section shall be of adequate size to provide for required front yard setbacks and corner clearance on street frontage.

(4)

Joint and cross access.

Development which meets either condition below shall provide a system of joint use driveways, cross access easements and pedestrian pathways to allow circulation between sites. Commercial or multifamily development which is adjacent to vacant property shall make provision for cross access to the vacant property.

Development or subdivision of commercial or multifamily parcels; or

Residential minor subdivisions when the frontage for the resultant lots or parcels is not large enough to meet the required connection spacing.

For development which is required to provide joint and cross access under this section, the development site shall incorporate the following:

On site retention facilities shall be required to meet stormwater quality standards. Prior to application for a building permit, a detailed drainage plan prepared by a professional engineer, registered in the State of Florida, shall be approved by the county engineer. A Florida registered professional engineer shall certify that the drainage plan has been appropriately implemented prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy (see Sections 4.03.06(F) and 4.03.07(E)). Drainage plans shall not be required for site plans with a total impacted area of less than fifteen hundred (1,500) square feet.

In order to control stormwater runoff and minimize impact on existing county drainage facilities and further to aid in the protection of the quality of ground and surface water, the conceptual and detailed site drainage plan shall include at least the following provisions:

The site drainage plan shall include practical means of reducing the amount of pollution generated by the project to a level compatible with current Florida Water Quality Standards found in F.A.C. chs. 17-2, 17-3, 17-4, and 17-6; (i.e., Department of Environmental Protection Minimum Standards). Such standards shall be met including the retention and disposal by percolation of at least the first one (1) inch of runoff within seventy-two (72) hours. Systems utilizing filter systems shall provide the recovery in thirty-six (36) hours. Skimming devices shall be required. Calculations must also demonstrate that the pond can percolate the entire retention volume within three hundred sixty (360) hours. Only the pond bottom surface area is to be considered the infiltration area. A safety factor of 2 is to be used when determining the design percolation rate. One-half (½) foot of freeboard above the maximum calculated high water elevation for the applicable design storm shall be provided in all ponds.

On-site retention and detention storage shall be provided for the increased storm water run-off from the proposed development and offsite contributing areas for all critical duration design storms up to and including, the twenty-four (24) hour, one hundred (100) year frequency storm. The drainage facilities shall provide a release mechanism to limit the storm water run-off peak rate and timing from the storage facility to that which would have been expected from the development site under natural or pre-developed conditions for a one hundred (100) year critical duration storm. Drainage systems in areas with no positive drainage outlet shall be designed to a more stringent criteria to include the retention of the twenty-four (24) hour, one hundred (100) year frequency storm event with no offsite discharge. Rainfall intensity-duration information for calculating runoff shall be based upon the curves prepared by the Florida Department of Transportation, Zone 1 area. The CE may decrease the allowed release rate for those developments which have documented significant downstream stormwater impacts to predevelopment stormwater runoff rate from a ten (10) year storm.

The C.E. may reduce the detention storage requirement for developments that provide a direct storm-water discharge to the Gulf of Mexico, Santa Rosa Sound, Escambia Bay, East Bay, Blackwater Bay, East River, Yellow River, and Blackwater River and provide one-inch retention volume and recovery.

The drainage facilities shall be designed to accommodate off-site and on-site stormwater runoff contributions. The stormwater management plan data shall consist of, at least: inflow hydrographs, velocities, evidence of a positive drainage outlet, flood routing calculations and storage recovery calculations based upon current site percolation tests.

All stormwater management plans shall be so designed, signed and sealed by a Florida registered professional engineer. The building department shall not issue any construction permit without the stormwater plan approval from the county engineer's office.

A Florida Department of Transportation Drainage Connection Permit (or proof of exemption) pursuant to Rules of the Department of Transportation, Chapter 14-86, "Drainage Connections" as now exists or hereafter amended, shall be obtained prior to application for a building permit and submitted to the planning and zoning division.

Additional considerations. The county planning and zoning division may require additional information to be provided by the petitioner for site plan review in order to carry out a review process which is necessary to fulfill the purpose, intent and spirit of this ordinance. The CE or planning director may require a detailed drainage plan or certified boring and soils tests prior to final action in order to avoid adverse environmental impacts, particularly in large scale development proposals.

All proposed commercial and multifamily developments located in unincorporated areas of Santa Rosa County south of East River, and on Garcon Point, that are expected to generate wastewater flows of at least seven hundred fifty (750) gallons per day are subject to the following:

A sanitary sewer collection system and transmission system meeting FDEP and local utility requirements shall be installed if sanitary sewer facilities are located within five hundred (500) feet in an abutting right-of-way or easement.

In areas, other than Garcon Point, where sanitary sewer is not currently available due to the lack of system capacity, a "dry collection system" shall be permitted and installed in accordance with the local utility and FDEP requirements. Permits for construction of structures can be issued for development with dry collection systems provided the following:

An onsite disposal permit is issued by HRS,

An agreement is executed by the developer that guarantees that the structure will be tied to the central collection system within thirty (30) days after notification to the utility that sewer is available.

The developer shall provide an escrow account to the county for the development in an amount to be determined by the county not less than three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500.00) and sufficient to secure; the complete and proper removal of the onsite disposal system, physical connection of the structure to the central collection system, payment of tap fees, and restoration of all disturbed areas. The tap fee payment may be made directly to the utility and the escrow amount may be reduced by the tap fee amount.

If the cost of constructing the sewer system extension to the utility involves extraordinary costs such as water way crossings, wetland crossings, extensive land clearing, etc., the developer or the utility may petition the board of county commissioners for an exemption from the requirement to connect the development to utility.

Single family dwelling and duplex development storm water control.

All single family dwelling and duplex development activities, shall maintain erosion control measures so as to prevent sediment or debris from leaving the development parcel. Any sediment or debris that leaves the development site shall be properly recovered by the building permit holder.

Failure to comply with this requirement shall constitute a violation of this ordinance and shall be cause for suspension of a building permit or development order.
