Item Title:Adjustment to East Nassau Employment Center DSAP
Date:9/25/2017
Department:Planning & Economic Opportunity
Background:

The developer of Wildlight (Rayonier) has presented the County with a proposed Signage Master Plan for this development. However, the East Nassau Employment Center DSAP, of which Wildlight is a part of, currently limits signage within the Employment Center land use sub-category to that allowed in the SR200/A1A Access Management Overlay (Sec.35.09(F), Ord. 97-19), and would not permit some of the proposed signage.

Upon review, County staff has found the proposed Signage Master Plan for Wildlight to be detailed, comprehensive, and in keeping with the high design standards approved for development within the Sector Plan. It is critical to creating the unique community character of Wildlight.

It is Staff’s position that the DSAP should be adjusted (specifically p. 37 of Exhibit C to the adopted Development Order) to allow the developer to implement the proposed Signage Master Plan presented here.

This adjustment will not result in a change in the overall development program for the DSAP or the ENCPA as a whole, and should not affect the jobs-to-housing ratio within the ENCPA as proposed.

Pursuant to Ch. 163, F.S., the Master Land Use Plan,  and Section 27.07 of the LDC, the proposed adjustment does not result in any significant changes to the currently approved DSAP and is available for approval by the Planning Director subject to a finding of consistency with the ENCPA Master Plan. 

As a practice of good governance and maintaining an open forum for public discourse, this information is being provided to the Planning & Zoning Board and to the Board of County Commissioners in order to ensure everyone is aware of modifications  to the approved ENCPA Sector Plan.
