1. See measurement rules and allowed exceptions/variations in Article 9: Part 4.
 
2. Ancillary uses include uses to provide services and support to John Knox Village residents which are not intended to attract customers that do not reside in John Knox Village. Employment supporting the ancillary use is expected and the impacts of that employment were considered in the land use plan amendment granting the unlimited ancillary use entitlements.
3. Any new structure/building greater than 105 feet in height may be subject to obtaining approval of an Airpark Obstruction Permit in accordance with Section 155.2422., Airpark Obstruction Permit. Airpark Obstruction Permits shall be approved prior to the submittal of an application for a Zoning Compliance Permit.
4. Buildings over 50 feet, the setback shall increase one foot for every four feet of building height or major fraction thereof, above the first 50 feet of building height. Buildings over 200 feet in height shall provide at least 200 foot setback from any public right-of-way.
5. Buildings over 20 feet, the distance between residential structures shall increase one foot for every four feet of building height or major fraction thereof, above the first 20 feet of building height. There is no distance required between commercial structures.
 
   F.   Process for Master Plan and Site Plan Approval
      1.   Approval of Master Plan
   An illustrative build out Master Plan for John Knox Village, in accordance with Section 155.3507.A, Purpose, is submitted to and recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. The Master Plan for John Knox Village is approved by the City Commission via City Resolution No. 2022-113.
      2.   Minor Deviations from Approved Master Plan
   Minor deviations may be permitted by the Development Services Director in accordance with the procedural requirements of Section 155.2405.J. Planned Development, Minor Deviations from Approved PD Plan. Any changes not determined to be a minor deviation shall be reviewed and approved via City resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following changes shall not be deemed Minor Deviations:
         a.   Changes in building size and location for buildings fronting Dixie Highway;
         b.   Changes to the orientation of buildings fronting Dixie Highway;
         c.   Major changes to the primary internal roadway configuration; and
         d.   Shifts in any building location for buildings that are greater than ten (10) stories in height.
      3.   Approval of Site Plans
   Any site plans for buildings or land areas that are part of the illustrative build out Master Plan shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedural standards of Section 155.2407.D. Minor Site Plan Approval Procedures and Section 155.2408.B.1. Building Design. All development standards otherwise required for a Major Site Plan approval shall be required.
      4.   Traffic Study Required
         The traffic study requirements, based on trip generation thresholds, are as follows:
         a.   If the proposed development is expected to generate less than 100 external trips per hour during the a.m. or p.m. peak hour of the adjacent street, a traffic study is not required unless the city determines that a traffic study is necessary due to special circumstances. If the proposed development is expected to generate more than 100 external trips per hour during the a.m. or p.m. peak hour of the adjacent street then a traffic study is required. Cost recovery fees will be charged to the applicant for evaluation of the required traffic analyses.
            i.   Prior to initiating a traffic study, the applicant's traffic engineer must schedule a methodology meeting with the city and the city's consultant to determine:
               •   Study time periods and intersections
               •   Data to be collected
               •   Methodology for trip generation, trip generation factors, trip distribution, and growth rate
               •   Programmed roadway improvements and committed developments to be considered in the study
               •   Traffic analysis software/level of service standards and analysis factors to be utilized in the analyses and any other pertinent analyses to be included on site-specific basis (entry gate, queueing, neighborhood impact, etc.)
               •   The results of this meeting should be summarized in a memorandum by the applicant's traffic engineer to be submitted to the city for review and approval prior to initiating the traffic study.
            ii.   A traffic study prepared and signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer should include:
               •   Cover Page
               •   Executive Summary
               •   Table of Contents
               •   Introduction including:
                  –   Development details including location, uses and size, build out year
                  –   Project location map/figure
                  –   Reference to a site plan to be included in an appendix
                  –   Reference to approved methodology memorandum to be included in an appendix
               •   Project Traffic
                  –   Description of project access and access diagram (to scale) depicting ingress and egress access for the site and internal circulation routes.
                  –   Trip generation calculations.
                  –   Description of trip distribution and assignment procedures including distribution and assignment figures. Note that assignment must account for neighborhood streets.
               •   Data Collection
               •   Existing conditions including existing volume figure
               •   Future background conditions (buildout year without project) including background volume figure
               •   Future total conditions (buildout year with project) including total volume figure
               •   Capacity analyses
               •   Intersection approach queueing
               •   Mitigation strategies (if necessary)
               •   Maneuverability analyses for loading areas/parking garages (if necessary)
               •   Consistency with any adopted city neighborhood protection and enhancement plans
