Final Planned Development and (Phase 1) Site Plan - Millcreek
2407-124-0001-000-3 

The application for the Millcreek PD Phase 1 Final Planned Development Site Plan includes a total of 439 dwelling units, distributed in 309 townhomes and 130 detached single-family homes. The density is 7.1 du/ac. (allowed 12 du/ac). The main access to the property is located on Orange Avenue to the south. The primary connection to the major road network is from Orange Avenue between Jenkins Road and Hartman Road at the existing intersection of Orange Avenue and Bent Creek Drive. The project proposes a clubhouse with amenities (to be constructed at phase 2), a dog park and a pocket park. Phase 1 incorporates 4 stormwater lakes. Emergency access is planned which aligns with N 43rd Street. 

It is proposed that the applicant make the following intersection improvements at Orange Avenue and Bent Creek Drive: 
1. Eastbound: Subject to approval by FDOT at the time of driveway permits, the queue length for the existing eastbound left turn lane will be determined and improved accordingly as required by FDOT.
2. Westbound: Subject to approval by FDOT at the time of driveway permits, a westbound right turn lane will be built according to the requirements of the Florida Design Manual (FDM).
3. Should FDOT require a traffic signal as part of the approvals, then applicant will construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Orange Avenue and Bent Creek Drive, which will align with the primary access to the PD.
 

Staff recommend the Planning Board  move the proposed Millcreek PD Final Site Plan to City Commission with a recommendation of APPROVAL subject to the Millcreek Residential planned development and traffic contribution agreement, including the special conditions of development and the timetable of development.

The special conditions include (not limited to):
1. The phasing of the project shall adhere to City Code Sections 125- 212(b)(6) and 125-212(c)(1)(c): Phasing. Each phase of development must be so planned and so related to previous development, surrounding properties, and the available public facilities and services, that failure to proceed with subsequent phases will not adversely impact drainage, utilities, parking or the traffic flow of the completed phases.
2. The Final PD plan shall conform to the requirements of the City Code of Ordinances and be subject to the general standards for approval of Planned Development Zoning at section 125-212 – Planned Development Zone (PD).
