Review criteria-in Secti(>n 2Q.; 683 (5) ofthe Land Development Code are listed below.. Staff has reviewed the submitted application and site and makes the plan following findings: Section. 20-683 ( Review Considerations 5), a. In what respects the site plan is oris not consistent with the Fort Walton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. The Updated CRA Plan designates the property as part of the MUW- 12 (Mixed- Use Waterf:Tont) district, and would permit the multi- family development held in ownership by a condominium. The propQsed development will meet the 75% limitation for building footprints and impervious surfaCes relative to lot area, and the 3- story buildings are in conformance with the 35- foot height limitation. The arrangement ofthe various buildings allows for three ( 3) view conidors, equivalent to 17% ( 100 ft.) of the lot width in conformance with the minimum of 15% ( 89 ft.)as Each required. unit will be provided with a 2- car garage in order to meet the parking requirement. b. In what respects the plan is or is not in conformity w~ the zoning district in which it is located. . aD applicable regulatio.ns of The MUW- 12 zoning district classification allows the proposed multi-family residential uses.In addition, the project is in conformance with CUtTent density, height and lot coverage 1imitation~ as well as, setbacks, parking and view conidor requirements. The proposed development will meet the 50- ft setback from the mean high water line SPZ)mandated by the Comprehensive Plan. c. In what respectS the plan is or is not consistent with good design standards with respect to an external relationships, induding' but not limned to.: 1) The relationship to. adjo.ining properties. The proposed buildings are located on the property in a spatial format designed to enhance the visual appeal of the overall development along Brooks Street; in harmony with the existing residential nature ofthe neighborhood. The proposed 3- story buildings will be in harmony with the adjacent built development ( Camp Walton Village) and the approved Watermark:Condominium development to the east. 2) Internal circulation, both vehicular and pedestrian,. and its relationship with the eitYts street system or proposed waterfront promenade. A private drive with two connections to Brooks Street will help to reduce traffic impact on Brooks Street and the interconnected private for each building ~ parking areas be devoted to parking for residents. In terms of pedestrian circulatio~ a public sidewalk will need to extend across. the. full frontage of the property in conformance with the requirements of Section 20- 755 ofthe Land Development Code. To further support pedestrian access, it is that suggested 4 pedestrian walkways be provided withiIl the development. 3) The design of access and egress and ~ pact on adjoining streets. The project will have separate driveways and parking areas for the various buildings; it is desirable to minimj,': ethe number ofcurb cuts ( driveways) on Brooks Street and maximize the number of off-street parking spaces in order to lessen the impact on Brooks Street and adjoining streets. . 4) The disposition and use of open space,provision for
