ARTICLE X: SITE PLAN REVIEW
SECTION 20A-IO.l: APPLICABILITY AND FILING PROCEDURE
Site plan approval is required for all uses, except single family
residences or a duplex structure. Nothwithstanding, a single family home
located within a flood hazard area must comply with criteria outlined in
Section 20A-IO.2(H) for type C permits as determined by the City Engineer.
Similarly, whenever in this Chapter 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, and additionally
in this situation landscape requirements shall not be imposed. Notwith-
standing, when additional parking is required pursuant to Section XIII of
Ordinance 202 as a prerequisite to any change of use, or the addition to
any building or structure, site plan approval shall be required.
A. General Site Plan Review Procedure. In all cases requiring site
plan review, no structure or parking area, or part thereof, shall be
erected or used, or land or water used, or any change of use consumma-
ted, nor shall any building permit be issued therefore, unless a site
plan for such structure or use shall have been reviewed by the City
Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. Filing. Before such site plan shall be approved, an appli-
cation for such approval shall be filed with the City Clerk then
directed to the City Engineer or other deSignated officials for
their recommendation. City Engineer is defined as that City
employee, or outside person or firm contracted by the City,
responsible to perform the duties specified herein as the City
Engineer.
2. Application, Fee and Disclosure of Ownership. Such applica-
tion shall be in a form substantially in accordance with the form
prescribed by the City Clerk, copies of which may be obtained
from the City Clerk's office. A written power of attorney
authorizing a person other than the owner(s) to sign such appli-
cation must be attached to said application.
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,
in which case the name and address of the corporation and princi-
pal executive officers will be sufficient.
The fee schedule for site plan review shall be as determined by
resolution of the City Council.
3. Review by City Staff. The application shall be forwarded to
the City Engineer and such other staff as may be pertinent. City
staff shall proceed to make appropriate studies and/or reviews
required to make an appropriate evaluation. The application with
evaluative comment shall then be forwarded to the City Planning
and Zoning Commission for their consideration and appropriate
action. The site plan review process shall be carried out in
accordance with procedures establ ished by the City Engineer and

.
.
e
Planning and Zoning Commission, so as to prevent inconvenience
and delay to the project.
4. Approval Subject to Conditions. The Planning and Zoning
Commission may attach to its approval of a site plan any reason-
able conditions, limitations or requirements which are found
necessary, in its judgement, to effectuate the purpose of this
Section and carry out the spirit and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
B. Conformance with Zoning Regulations Required. Any such building,
structure or use shall be erected, altered, installed and maintained
in full conformity with the provisions of the zoning ordinance and
with site plan approved by the City Planning and Zoning Commission.
SECTION 20A-IO.2:
CONSIDERATIONS IN REVIEWING SITE PLANS
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall not approve a site plan
unless a finding is made that such site plan conforms to all applicable
provisions of this Zoning Ordinance and its amendments.
A. Site Location and Character of Use: The Comprehensive Plan
together with the Zoning Code, including size and dimension regula-
tions, general provisions, performance standards, and the list of
permitted and conditional uses, off-street parking, landscaping,
required open spaces, yards and building setbacks shall collectively
be the principal guides in determining the suitability of the location
of the proposed use.
B. Appearance of Site and Structures. The appearance of site and
structures shall be coordinated for the purpose of creating a pleasing
and harmonious overall environment. The choice of building materials,
plant materials, lighting and other building and site improvements
shall be commensurate with the objectives of the subject use without
generati ng adverse vi sua 1 impact on surroundi ng properti es or trans-
portation corridors. Architectural style or design is not restricted.
Eva 1 uat i on of the appearance of a project shall be based on the
quality of its overall design and relationship to the impacted area
considering the following factors:
1. Harmonious Overall Design. The exterior of buildings and
structures including mass, facade and materials shall be in
harmony with the site and the general character of the impacted
area and shall not be gaudy or gari sh. Awni ngs or ornamental
features shall be designed in a manner harmonious with the
building design and shall be of appropriate scale, shape, and
pattern in order to reinforce good design principles. Similarly,
awnings or ornamental features shall not use incompatible or
extraordi nary sca 1 e, shapes, color schemes, patterns or other
extraordinary features for purposes of attracting attention. The
appearance of buildings and structures shall be disapproved under
Section 20A-1O.2(B) in extreme cases only and reasonable doubt
shall be resolved in favor of the applicant.

2. Location and screenin~ of Mechanical Equipment, Utility
Hardware and Waste Storage reas. Mechanical equipment or other
utility hardware other than antennas and stacks on roofs shall be
harmoni ous with the buil di ng or they shall be located and/or
screened so as not to be visible from any public ways within the
impacted area, except within Industrial District(s). Similarly,
refuse and waste storage areas shall be screened from adjacent
properties and public ways by appropriate fences, walls or
hedges. In cases where dumpsters must be located in areas highly
visible from any public right-of-way, the City Planning and
Zoning Commission shall be authorized to require appropriate
vegetative or structural screening to shield an unsightly condi-
tion.
3. Commercial and Industrial Activities Conducted in Enclosed
Buildings. All businesses, services or manufacturing or process-
ing shall be conducted within completely enclosed buildings. If
the City Planning and Zoning Commission determines that a demon-
strated necessity exists for outside storage or display due to
the impracticality and unreasonableness of enclosure of such
services, storage and display areas, in such case such service,
storage and display areas or yards shall be screened by a contin-
uous fence or wall or by 1 andscapi ng and berm system so as to
provide a ninety (90) percent opaque screen with a minimum height
of five (5) to eight (8) feet, unless the the same is demonstrat-
ed by the applicant to the Planning and Zoning Commission's
satisfaction to be impractical and unreasonable.
4. Exterior Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be provided and
shall be so arranged as to shield or deflect the light from
adjoining properties and public streets.
C. Access, Internal Ci rcul ation, Off-Street Parking and Other
Traffic Impacts. The City Engineer shall advise on matters related to
this subsection 20A-IO.2(C):
1. Internal Circulation System Design and Access/Egress Consi-
derations. Driveways, curb cuts, and areas for the parking and
internal circulation of vehicles shall be located, designed and
controlled so as to provide for safe and convenient circulation
within the site and safe and convenient access from and onto
adjoining streets. The City Engineer shall review such design
considerations based on standard traffic engineering prinCipals
and practices and such specifications as may be adopted by
resolution of the City Council. Requirements of Article VIII of
this Chapter shall be applied for off-street parking. Among
factors to be considered shall be need for acceleration and
deceleration lanes; the number, location and size of curb cuts
and access drives from adjacent streets; the location and design
of driveways and access aisles to parking spaces, the arrange-
ment, delineation and marking for parked areas; and the means of
access to buil di ngs for fi re-fighti ng apparatus and other emer-
gency vehicles.

2. Separation of Vehicular and Pedestrian Areas. Parking areas
and drlveways shall be clearly identified and separated from
principal pedestrian routes and recreation areas by curbs,
pavement markings, planting areas, fences or similar features
designed to promote pedestrian safety.
D. Traffic Impacts. A traffic impact analysis shall be required for
zoning and site plan reviews pursuant to standards, procedures and
criteria defined herein. The traffic impact analysis is designed to
achieve objectives stipulated in the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission with the
recommendation of the City Engineer may waive this requirement based
on a determination that the proposed use will not generate any adverse
off-site impacts warranting corrective measures by the applicant.
1. Applicability. A transportation impact study shall be re-
quired if:
(a) A proposed development generates more than one thousand
(1,000) trips per day. Such development shall maintain a
level of service C, daily condition and level of service 0
for peak hour conditions on collector and arterial street
segments as noted below. The trip generation shall be based
on the Table of Average Trip Generation Rates by Land Use
Category on page X-5A unless the applicant can demonstrate
that unique development characteristics will result in
SUbstantially different rates.
2. Impact Study Areas. The transportation impact study area
shall include all arterial and collector streets within one half
(1/2) mile of the site entrance and/or shall include the nearest
arterial roads that will be impacted by the development. For
developments which generate between five hundred (500) and one
thousand (1,000) trips during the peak hour or over one thousand
(1,000) trips during the peak hour, the study area shall be one
(1) and three (3) miles respectively. Estimates of peak hour
trip generation shall be determined by the applicant's Florida
Registered Traffic Engineer and shall be approved by the City
Engineer. Peak hour traffic impact shall be assessed, with and
without the development, for all collector and arteri a 1 road
segments and their respective intersections with other collector
and arterial roadways within the designated service area. If
additional traffic counts are warranted, they shall be the
applicant's responsibility.
3. Contents. The transportation impact analysis shall contain
the fo 11 owi ng;
(a) A detailed description of the collector and arterial
road network, inclUding existing and proposed roadway widths
and right-of-way widths; existing and proposed traffic
signa 1 sand traffi c control devi ces; exi sti ng and proposed
ingress and egress locations, including existing or proposed

.
acceleration or deceleration lanes or turning lane improve-
ments.
(b) A detailed description of the existing and proposed
land uses within the impacted study area including stages of
construction and anticipated completion dates.
(c) A detailed description of the existing traffic condi-
tions, including the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and
the highest average peak hour volume for all collector and
arterial roads within the study area. The AADT shall be
based on a current twenty-four (24) hour traffic count
provi ded by the applicant. The current twenty-four (24)
hour traffic count shall be adjusted to compensate for
seasonal variations. This adjustment shall be determined by
utilizing Florida Department of Transportion (DOT) or
traffi c counts ca 1 cul ated quarterly at traffi c count sta-
tions in the City of Sebastian. The methodology and assump-
tions underlying the annual adjustment shall be clearly
stated. The average peak hour traffic volume shall be the
highest average peak hour volume for any weekday twenty-four
(24) hour period.
(d) A detailed Service Level C condition analysis of all
collector and arterial roadways and intersections within the
study area based on procedures outlined in the 1965 Highway
Capac i ty Manua 1 (i nc 1 udi ng the Northwestern Monographs) and
in the Transportati on Research Ci rcul ar No. 212, .. Interim
Material on Highway Capacity", Transportation Research
Board, January, 1980.
(e) A description of all the existing collector and arter-
ial roadways and intersections that are at or below the
Service Level C condition (Service Levels C, D, E, or F).
(f) A detailed analysis of traffic impact of the develop-
ment, including trip generations (average 24-hour weekday
and hi ghest average weekday hour), i nterna 1 and external
trips, trip absorptions and trip distributions over all
collector and arterial roads within the study area. The
trip generation shall be based on the table contained in
this subsection unless a qualified traffic engineer demon-
strates that unique qualities of the development will result
in different rates. All methodology and assumptions must be
clearly stated.
(g) A detailed cumulative transportation impact of the
existing traffic conditions including traffic from the
development, normal increases in traffic and increases from
allocation of road capacity to already approved projects.
Thi sana lys i s must identify projected AADT and peak hour
volumes for all the collector and arterial roads and must
describe all the roadways and intersections that will be at

Level D peak hour condition.
4. Traffic Study and Traffic Data Inventory and File. The City
Engineer shall keep a file on all traffic studies including the
future capacity allocated for each project. In determi ni ng the
projected demand in subsection 20A-10.2(D)(3)(g) above, the
impact analysis shall include trips already allocated in previous
development approvals. The City shall provi de i nformati on when
available and where appropriate data already exists in order to
prevent duplication of efforts and unnecessary costs.
5. Improvements to Roadways and/or Traffic Control Devices.
Transportati on improvements such as i ntersecti on improvements;
additional turning, acceleration or deceleration lanes; modified
land delineations; new or improved traffic control devices; or
other such improvements may be requ ired in order to ma i nta in a
level of service C daily condition and/or a level of service D
peak hour condition. In such case, the applicant for a develop-
ment permit may be required to fund and/or install the necessary
improvements or provide a legal assurance, such as a performance
bond or other surety approved by the City Attorney, prior to the
issuance of a building permit. Where the traffic impact does not
generate traffic volume that substantiates the total improvement
needs, the City Council shall determine an equitable participa-
tion in the required improvement. The participation by the
applicant may, at the discretion of the City Council, consist of
a pro-rata dollar share of improvement costs.
E. Open Space and Landscape. Open space shall be compri sed of
permeable open surfaces, excluding principal structures and impermea-
ble surfaces. No parking areas shall be included as open area.
Active recreation areas may be counted as open area.
1. Residential Open Space Requirement. All residential devel-
opment sha 11 preserve a mi n imum of fi fty (50) percent of the
upland area as open space. Uplands shall be defined as those
areas which are not permanent water bodies or wetlands as defined
in Section 20A-IO.2(G)(2) at the time of application. A maximum
of thirty (30) percent of any totally landlocked water body may
be credited as open space. At no time shall water bodies
comprise more than twenty (20) percent of the total upland open
space requirements.
2. Non-Residential Open Space Requirement. Non-residential
development shall provide a minimum of twenty (20) percent open
space.
3. Mi xed Use Open Space Requ i rement. Where res i dent i a 1 and
non-residential development is permitted pursuant to the City of
Sebastian Zoning Code, the following pro rata open space require-
ment shall be enforced.

4. Use of Open Space. Open space and spaces between buildings
required by this Chapter shall be located and improved so as to
reasonab ly serve the purposes for whi ch the requi rements are
intended. These purposes include provisions of adequate light
and air, appropriate separation between buildings and uses,
enhancement of privacy, sufficient area for recreation and
leisure pursuits (in residential areas) and to facilitate surface
water drainage.
5. Preserve Natural landscape. The natural 1 andscape of the
site shall be preserved as much as possible for purposes of
enhancing the general appearance of the site as well as to
prevent excessive storm water run-off, erosion, siltation and
dus t.
F. Required Screening of Abutting Residential and Non-residential
Uses. In order to maintain stability of residential areas, non-
residential development within or abutting residential districts and
multiple family development abutting single family residential dis-
tricts, shall provide a fence or a wall or a combination of a berm and
landscaping so as to provide a continuous ninety (90) percent opaque
solid screen not less than five (5) feet in height to form a continu-
ous screen along such abutting property lines. In addition, one tree
shall be provided for each thirty-five (35) lineal feet or fraction
thereof of such landscape barrier. Notwithstanding, all developments
shall comply with the landscape requirements of Article XIII, Ordi-
nance 202-X. Where a conflict exists with the standards of this
paragraph, the more restrictive requirement shall prevail.
Credit may be given for existing plant material against the require-
ments of this section. Adjustments may be rendered by the City
Planning and Zoning Commission to the requirements of this paragraph
based on demonstrated need by the applicant. The site plan applicant
and successors in ownership shall maintain the continuous screen in
perpetuity.
G. Flood Prone land and Wetland Preservation. In order to promote
and preserve natural hydro 1 ogica 1 conditi ons and to preserve water
recharge areas, water supply and water quality, and natural habitats,
the following regulations shall be applied to wetland areas.
1. Flood Prone land. Construction in flood prone areas shall
comply with the City's flood plan management policies.
2. Wetland Defined. Wetland areas are generally defined as
non-forested, forested, and mixed forested saltwater areas, and
non-forested, and mixed forested freshwater areas. Site specific

investigations shall confirm the existence of wetland systems
based on on-site soil and vegetative analysis with assistance of
appropri ate representati ves of the State Department of Envi ron-
mental Regulation, the St. Johns River Water Management District,
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U. S. Soil Conservation
Service.
3. Wetland Development Restrictions and Interpretations. No
development activity shall be allowed in a wetland area unless
"competent evidence" indicates that:
(a) Dominant vegetation is no longer comprised of wetland
types normally found in the specified soil; and
(b) The water regime has been permanently altered artifi-
cially or naturally in a manner to preclude its associated
watershed areas from functioning as wetlands.
Applicants for site plan review shall have an opportunity to so
demonstrate that any wetland designations within the confines of
their property no longer function as wetlands as defined above.
The urban forester, the soil conservationist as well as represen-
tatives of the State Department of Environmental Regulation, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the St. Johns River Water Management
District may be made a part of the site plan review process to
assist in identifying and delineating wetlands. The applicant
may request that a waiver of the provisions of this section be
granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission for small isolated
marginal wetlands for which the developer shall provide viable
compensatory preserve areas which mitigate against a loss of
viable wetland systems. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall
consider the recommendation of the City Engineer prior to taking
action on such a request and shall grant the same only in the
case of an overriding public interest. Finally, this section
shall not prevent the construction of one single family home on
existing lots of record.
H. Surface Water Management.
1. Purpose. The purpose of this surface water management policy
is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of
the City of Sebastian; to implement those policies and objectives
found in the drainage element of the City's Comprehensive Plan;
to ensure protection of land and improvements together with
natural resources through the use of responsible stormwater
management and flood protection practices; and to ensure replen-
ishment of the City's aquifer system and to provide a continuing
usable water supply.
2. Rules of Construction. These requirements are intended to
complement regulations of the Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation (DER) including but not limited to those found in the
Fla. Admin. Code, Chapter 17-25, "Regulation of Stormwater
Discharge," and the Stormwater Rules of the St. Johns River Water

Management Di stri ct, all as adopted or as may be amended from
time to time. Approval of a stormwater management system under
these requirements shall not relieve any applicant of the neces-
sity to obtain required permits or approvals from other state,
regional, or local agencies, including specifically, but not
limited to, observance of DER permitting requirements for use of
the "l andward extent of waters of the State, II as defi ned in the
Fla. Admin. Code, Section 17-4.02(17). In the event of a con-
flict between these regulations and State regulations, the State
regulations shall prevail unless these regulations are more
restrictive. In the latter event, the City policy shall prevail.

e. Change of any part of an existing drainage system without
changing the flow characteristics of the artificial water
course.
f. All activities by a water management district, drainage
district, or water control district established under the
laws of the State of Florida and all activities undertaken
by the State of Florida, Indian River County, or the City of
Sebastian.
g. Any activity or development project which is demonstrated by
the applicant to have vested rights. The surface water manage-
ment permitting requirements herein shall not in any way limit
or modify the cested rights of any person or entity to complete
any development or improvements to land based upon prior law
where a previous permit or authorization had been granted or
applied for prior to the effective date of this ordinance
(September 19, 1984) and such previous permit or authorization
remains in effect.
h. These surface water management policies shall not be construed to
prevent the doing of any otherwise lawful and necessary to prevent
material harm to or destruction of real or personal property as a
result of a present emergency, including but not limited to fire,
infestation by pests, or hazards resulting from violent storms or
hurricanes or when the property is in eminent peril and the necessity
of obtaining a permit is impractical and would cause undue hardship
in the protection of the property.
A report of any such emergency action shall be made to the City
Engineer by the owner or person in control of the property upon
which emergency action was taken as soon as practicable, but not
more than ten (10) days following such action. Remedial action
may be required by the City Engineer subject to appeal to the City
Council in the event of dispute.
6. Surface Water Management Review Criteria for All Development Pro;ects.
All development projects are required to obtain a Type A Permit. No
Type'A Permit to construct a development project shall be issued unless
the following criteria are met:
a. The design of the on-site stormwater management system shall be
based at a minimum on a la-year frequency~24-hour duration storm
event; however, the applicant shall also provide data indicating the
effects of a 25-year~frequency 24-hour duration storm event on the
development project as proposed. The design of any off-site storffiWater
management system improvements shall be based upon a 25-year frequency
24-hour duration storm event.
b. The hydrologic computations for the stormwater management system
shall be based on full hydrograph generation for the development project
ana "contributory area utilizing such methods as published by the Soil
Conservation Service (scs) (U. S. Department of Agriculture, SCS "
"National Engineering Handbook', Section 4, Hydrology: 1972 and "Urban
Hydrology for Small Watersheds", Technical Release No. 55:1975). For
projects of less than 12.00 acres, the rational method of runoff
computation is satifactory. The State Department of

Transportation (DOT) Zone 3 rainfall intensity-duration
curves provided in Appendix A, attached hereto, are hereby
incorporated as a part of this ordinance and shall be used
in making all required hydrologic computations.
c. Retention or detention with filtration of the first one
inch (111) of rainfall shall be provided on site. Stormwater
runoff generated by the development project over and above
that generated by the site prior to the proposed development
unless there is a legal positive outfall available which has
sufficient capacity to accept the additional runoff.
d. Retention or detention facilities shall be constructed
in such a manner as to maximize utilization of available
percolation capabilities on the site for recharge enhance-
ment and to minimize mosquito breeding by being shallow and
shall be easy to maintain.
e. Discharges from the development project shall be handled
to a point of legal positive outfall. Tailwater stages of
the receiving waters must be taken into account in design.
Enl argement of exi sti ng downstream facil iti es may be re-
f qui red.
f. The bottom of dry retention areas shall be sloped to
form a permeable drain. A detention area shall have an
outlet device, and shall not be lower than the elevation of
the off-site receiving channel or water body.
g. Where permitted, open drainage ways shall retain natural
design characteristics and be so designed and protected that
they do not present a hazard to 1 i fe or property. The
design shall include measures to protect against scour and
erosion. Whenever possible, such waterways shall provide
for adequate flushing action by prevailing winds and cur-
rents to assure the prevention of stagnant water and debris
accumulation.
h. Disposition of Stormwater Runoff. The stormwater manage-
ment system for developments located predominately on
excessively drained soils should maximize stormwater infil-
tration. This shall be accomplished through the use of
bottomless inlets, perforated pipe, grading to retard
runoff, natural or artificial retention or detention basins,
or other methods, dependi ng on the characteri sti cs of the
land area. Specific guidelines are as follows:
(i) Areas and lots shall be developed to maXlmlze the
amount of natural rainfall which is percolated into the
soil and to minimize direct. overland runoff into
adjoining streets and water courses. Stormwater runoff
from roofs and other impervious surfaces should be
diverted into swales, or terraces on the lot.

(i i) Street dra i nage shall be by grassed swa 1 es or
curb and gutter in accordance with City specifications,
provided all curb and gutter systems shall discharge or
direct wateri nto or across a grassed swa 1 e area or
other filtering medium. Whenever practical, as in-
dicated by soil characteristics, water table elevation,
and topography, the overflow from any swale used shall
be diverted to percolation areas, ponding areas or
natural or artificial seepage basins of sufficient
capacity to retain and provide for the maximum infil-
tration of stormwater runoff from each drainage area
for the design storm. Each percolation or retention
area shall include positive drainage facilities which
provide for drainage to public outfalls or a lake, or
water course, to handle the runoff from storms of
longer duration and severity. Except in those develop-
ment projects were temporary ponding is allowable
pursuant to Section 20A-IO.2(H)(6)(1) each percolation
or retention area shall include positive drainage
facilities which provide for drainage to public out-
falls or a lake, or water course, to handle the runoff
from storms of longer duration and severity. The area
surrounding these retention or detention basins is
recommended to be used as public or private open space
and shall be grassed.
(iii) The Soil Survey of Indian River County published
by the u.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conserva-
tion Service, shall be the document to determine soil
classifications
i. Material Specifications for Culverts and Storm Sewers.
The following pipe materials are acceptable:
(i) Reinforced concrete pipe; bituminous coated,
corrugated steel pipe; aluminum pipe; aluminum pipe
arch; bituminous coated structural plate steel pipe;
and bituminous coated steel pipe arch. PVC pipe shall
be acceptable only for installations in a privately
ma i nta i ned system and only if it is compri sed of an
appropriate wall thickness for the intended use.
(ii) Workmanship and pipe materials shall conform to
Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) Standard
Specifications, latest edition.
(iii) Only concrete and aluminum pipes shall be used
under County ri ght-of-way pavement and/or into salt

necessary.
1. Temporary ponding is allowable in areas specifically
designed with high percolation rates so that ponding does
not last more than eight (8) hours.
m. Materials used in drainage facilities which cross,
traverse, or encroach major roads as depicted on the City of
Sebastian Thoroughfare Plan shall be designed in accordance
with DOT standards.
n. All stormwater facilities shall be established in
dedicated water management tracts, easements, or specified
common areas. Condominium documents, deed restrictions, or
other legally binding instruments shall describe the lo-
cation of such areas, specifically define the mechanism for
preservation and maintenance of any private drainage sys-
tems, and shall appoint an entity responsible for mainte-
nance and preservations. All water management tracts shall
include a maintenance berm, the top of which may be level or
have a slope not steeper than an eight (8) foot horizontal
to one (1) foot vertical slope. In addition such facili-
ties, as well as open channels and ponds, shall have an
easement for access to and around the perimeter for mainte-
nance. Retention or detention facilities shall be graded to
slopes not steeper than four (4) foot horizontal to one (1)
foot vertical above the designed high water elevation and
shall be graded to slopes not steeper than three (3) foot
horizontal to one (1) foot vertical below the designed high

but in no tase shall a road be constructed at an elevation below five
(5) feet above sea 1 eve 1. All roads shall be des i gned to ma i nta in
drainage flow beneath the road bed so that equalization may occur.
m. If the development project is in a critical flood zone, it must be
demonstrated, in addition to compliance with Section 20A-lO.2(H)(n)(a
through s), that:
(i) The elevation or velocity of the regulatory flood will not
be increased as a result of any obstruction or displacement of
flood waters.
(ii) There is no significant threat of releasing quantities of
pollutants which have the effect of degrading water quality below
standards established in Florida Administrative Code Chapter
17-3, as amended from time to time, to surface or groundwater
during the regulatory flood.
(iii) The capacity of the critical flood zone to store and
convey surface waters or perform other significant water manage-
ment functions will not be impaired.
n. If the development project is in a coastal high hazard zone, it
must be demonstrated, in addition to compliance with Section
20A-lO.2(H)(7)(a through n), that:
(i) All buildings or structures shall be elevated so that the
lowest horizontal supporting member is located no lower than the
flood protection elevation, with all space below the lowest
horizontal supporting member open so as not to impede the flow of
water. Such space shall not be used for human habitation nor
enclosed in the future. Lattice work or decorative screening may
be constructed below the flood protection elevation provided it
is not part of the structural support of the buil di ng and is
designed so as to breakaway, under abnormally high tides or wave
action, without damage to the structural integrity of the build-
ing. Solid walls will not be allowed. Only wood or mesh screen-
ing may be used.
(ii) Pilings or columns used as structural supports are designed
and anchored to withs tand all app 1 i ed loads of the regu 1 a tory
flood including velocity flow and hurricane wave wash. Fill must
not be used as structural support. Compliance with these pro-

determined by the City, to take corrective action should the
entity fail to properly maintain the system. Such easements
shall also establish a right of entry as may be necessary for
special purposes as directed by State laws or as may be duly
determined by the City. Should the applicant or entity succeed-
ing in ownership fail to properly maintain a system as required,
the City Engineer shall give the applicant or entity succeeding
in ownersh i p written noti ce of the nature of the correcti ve
action necessary. Should the applicant or entity succeeding in
ownership fail, within thirty (30) days from the date of the
notice to take, or commence taking, corrective action to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer, the City may enter upon lands,
take corrective action and the cost of such corrective action
shall become a lien on the property benefited.
b. Flood Protection Management. The City Engineer or other designat-
ed City official shall have authority to administer this ordinance, and
shall perform the following specific duties:
(i) Determine Adequacy of Information.Determine any additional
information that must be submitted for flood management review.
(ii) Determine Completeness of Applications and Evaluation.
Review applications for compliance with the standards of surface
water management policies of this section after input from the
administrative staff and the City Attorney as to those matters
within their professional disciplines; and either approve,
approve with conditions, or deny the application based on that

maintain a record of the actual, lias built" elevation or
flood-proofing of all buildings constructed after flood manage-
ment review.
(iv) Coordinating Review Functions. Coordinate the review with
other permitting agencies, if necessary.
I. Available Potable Water. All future applications for new devel-
opment shall be required to connect to a central water system except
as herein provided.
1. Exceptions for Limited Scale Development. When connection
to a central water system is not feasible, applicants for limited
scale development adaptive to service by an interim water system,
may be a 11 owed if approved by the County Di rector of Pub 1 i c
Health subject to the following conditions:
a. Assurance in writing from a central water utility that
extension of lines to the development is part of its master
plan for expansion; and,
b. Agreement by the applicant that the system shall be
connected to the central util ity system at no cost to the
City when service becomes available.
2. Intent of Re ulatin Procedure. The intent of this permitt-
ing procedure is: 1 to maintain a comprehensive data base
concerning water supply and quality; 2) to discourage unregulated
proliferation of private water systems; and 3) to achieve a
subsystem design which can be effectively and economically
integrated into a central public system certified and regulated
by an approved local public service entity at a later point in
time and to encourage a compact urban development pattern by
managing the location, timing and scale of land development to
assure that new development can be efficiently served by public
facilities without adversely impacting the City's fiscal capaci-
ty; and 4) to discourage all new subdivision of land unless
served by a central water util ity and to s imil arly di scourage
nonresidential development on existing lots of record when such
sites are not serviced by a central water utility.
3. Testing of Private Wells. In addition, the City may under-
take any necessary action to prevent or remedy water supply and
water quality problems. To this the City may request analysis of
water quality and supply of all permitted private wells based on
evolving problems and issues associated with water resources.
The private well owner may be assessed by the City after due
public hearings for needed water quality, supply problems,
requisite testing, laboratory analysis, and improvements deeded
necessary and fiscally equitable.

the City when service becomes available.
1. Intent and Pur ose of Re ulatin Wastewater Dis osal S s-
tems. The intent of this provision is: 1 to discourage unregu-
lated proliferation of private package treatment plants; 2) to
achieve a subsystem design which can be effectively and economi-
cally integrated into a major central public wastewater system at
a future point in time which would be certified and regulated by
a local public entity; and 3) to encourage a compact urban
development pattern by managing the location, timing, and scale
of land development to assure that new development can be effi-
ciently served by public facilities without adversely impacting
the City's fiscal capacity.
2. Design Standards. The system shall be designed to satisfy
performance standards of the Department of Environmental Regula-
tion (DER), other applicable regional, state, or federal stan-
dards, or standards which may be hereafter adopted by the City.

able service distance from the serviced site as determined
by the City Engineer, non-residential uses generating less
than 2,000 gpd per establishment shall be allowed to use
septi c tanks except when uses are judged by the Health
Department to constitute a high expected failure level.
K. Soil Erosion, Sedimentation Control,and Estuary Protection.
1. Applicability. In order to prevent both soil erosion and
sedimentation, a soil erosion and sedimentation control plan
shall be required as a part of an application for site plan
review whenever a development will involve any clearing, grading,
transporting, or other form of disturbing land by the movement of
earth, including the mining of minerals, sand and gravel, provi-
ded that anyone of the following descriptions applies to said
movement.
(a) Excavation, fill, or any combination thereof will
exceed five hundred (500) cubic yards.
(b) Fi 11 wi 11 exceed three (3) feet in vert.i ca 1 depth at
its deepest point as measured from the natural ground
surface.

2. Definitions. For the purposes of this subsection
20A-10.2(K) the following definitions are provided:
(a) Soil erosion shall mean any removal and/or loss of soil
by the action of water, gravity, or wind. Erosion includes
both the detachment and transport of soil particles.
(b) Sedimentation shall mean the settling out of the soil
particles which are transported by water or wind. Sedimen-
tation occurs when the velocity of water or wind in which
soil particles are suspended is slowed to a sufficient
degree and for a sufficient period of time to allow the
particles to settle out of suspension or when the degree of
slope is lessened to achieve the same result.
(c) Erodable slofe shall mean all slopes with inclines in
excess of four 4) percent unless modified by the City
Engineer based on consideration of specific soil conditions.
(d) Large fl at surface area (unpaved) shall mean an area
which is flat or whose slope is less than four (4) percent
and which consists of more than one thousand (1,000) square
feet of exposed soil.
3. Erosion Control Measures. All measures necessary to mini-
mize soil erosion and to control sedimentation in the disturbed
land area shall be implemented. The following protection shall
be provided for all disturbed areas: minimize velocities of
water runoff, maximize protection of disturbed areas from storm-
water runoff, and retain sedimentation within the development
site as early as possible following disturbances. A list of
major problem areas for erosion and sedimentation control fol-
lows. For each one, the purpose(s) of requiring control is
described. Soil erosion and sedimentation control measures for
all such areas shall be provided with a view toward achieving the
specific purpose listed below for which a control plan is requi-
red.
,
(a) Erodable slopes: Prevent detachment and transportation
of soil particles from slope.
(b) Streams, streambeds, streambanks, bodies of water, lake
shorel i nes: Prevent detachment and transportati on of soil
particles.

(c) Prevent detachment and transportation of
soil partic es which would otherwise deposit in streams,
bodies of water, or wetlands); promote deposit or sediment
loads (traversing these areas) before these reach bodies of
water.
(d) Land adjacent to streams, ponds, lakes, and wetlands:
Prevent detachment and transportation of soil parti cl es.
The applicant shall not adversely impact aquatic vegetation
within the sensitive transition zone located between the
upland and the mean high water line (ordinary high water
line for non-tidal waters). No such vegetation shall be
disturbed without approval of the City. Any such approval
shall be based on a demonstrated necessity which promotes
the overall public health, safety and welfare. Furthermore,
any such di sturbance of aquati c vegetati on shall be com-
pensated by revegetati on based on a plan approved by the
City as stipulated herein. The applicant shall coordinate
plans for riverfront development with the Florida Department
of Environmental Regulation as well as the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers where tidal waters might be impacted. Where
deemed appropriate, the site plan shall include the planting
of native indigenous aquatic plant vegetation to promote
stability of the shoreline.
(e) Enclosed drainage structure: Prevent sedimentation in
structure, erosion at outfall of system, and deposit of
sediment loads within system or beyond it.
(f) Large flat surface areas (unpaved): Prevent detachment
of soil particles and their off-site transportation.
(g) 1m ervi ous surfaces: Prevent the detachment and
transportation of soi in response to an increase in the
rate and/or volume of runoff of the site or its concentra-
tion caused by impervious surfaces).
(h) Borrow and stockpile areas: Divert runoff from face of
slopes which are exposed in the excavation process; convey
runoff in stabilized channels to stable disposal points;
leave borrow areas and stockpiles in stable condition.
(i) Adjacent properties: Prevent their erosion and/or
being deposited with sediment.
L. Additional Considerations. The Planning and Zoning Commission or
the City Council may require additional information 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
Chapter.
