8 Section 3 - Pre-Development Background and Site Inventory 3.1 General Location: The Formosa Gardens PD is an existing mixed use planned development consisting of approximately acres located in Osceola County. The property is South of U.S. 192 and east of S.R. 429 in Osceola County, Florida. 3.2 Section, Township and Range: The Formosa Gardens PD occupies a portion of Sections 3, 4, 9 and 10 in Township 25 South, Range 27 East, Osceola County, Florida. 3.3 Access: U.S. Highway 192 (SR 530) /West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway fronts the site on the north and SR 429 on the west. Formosa Gardens Boulevard, a four-lane collector road running north and south between U.S. Highway 192 and Funie Steed Road divides the Formosa Gardens property. 3.4 Vegetation and Wetlands: Upland Vegetation: The site historically consisted of orange grove as well as wetlands. Wetlands: The property contains wetlands. Through the permitting process with the South Florida Water Management District as well as Osceola County, wetland mitigation, preservation and creation were required. Conservation Tracts including upland buffers were created and platted. Development is in compliance with all conditions of the South Florida Water Management District as well as Osceola County. 3.5 Wildlife: As a requirement of the approved Development Order from Osceola County, an off-site compensation agreement with Osceola County Land Trust has been executed. 3.6 Land Use Summary: Please refer to the Master Plan in the Exhibits section and the Proposed Land Use Summary Table in Section

9 3.7 Soils: According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service, there is no potential for subsidence of upland soils areas based on the characteristics of the predominant upland soil types present onsite. While limitations are described in the Soil Survey of Osceola County Area, Florida, the soils identified on the project site, as denoted on the Soils Classification Map, provided in Section 2 herein, are typical and can be easily used for the intended purposes through proper soil management utilizing standard construction methods to prevent wind and water soil erosions. 3.8 Drainage, Floodplains and Topography: According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Community Panel Number C, dated November 20, 1996, the 100-year flood elevation has been determined to be NGVD. The areas of the project that are within the flood zone are delineated on the Topographic Map, provided in Section 2, herein. No increase in offsite flooding shall result from the Formosa Gardens PD. All drainage improvements shall be in accordance with the existing South Florida Water Management District permit and Osceola County Engineering Department regulations. 3.9 Archaeological and Cultural Resources: There are no cultural or historical resources known to occur onsite; therefore, development of this property will not impact significant archaeological or historical resources. In the event that such resources are encountered during the course of construction, the developer will comply with state law and immediately notify the FDHR and cease construction activity until the area of resource can be identified and the appropriate cultural surveys conducted Affidavit or Statement Regarding Existing Structures: The existing mixed use planned development is an ongoing project. Portions of this site have been developed. All existing structures are in good working order and maintained. No existing structures are proposed to be removed. 7

10 Section 4 - Proposed Planned Development 4.1 Project Description: This PD modification request is to establish development standards for the undeveloped portion of the property, as well as recognize the developed portion, and establish development standards based on the prior approved and constructed Engineering Improvement Plans. It is also requested to incorporate the previously approved sign standards, as well as request additional standards. This application will also request innovative landscape design features for future commercial and residential development by incorporating Florida Friendly elements. The Formosa Gardens PD is an approved planned development consisting of approximately acres designated as Tourist Commercial, Low and Medium Density Land Uses on the FLUM of Osceola County s Comprehensive Plan. Formosa Gardens is an approved DRI. This DRI utilizes a development matrix for transferring uses from tract to tract. It is the Applicant s desire to incorporate this matrix within this PD to better facilitate development in the future. This matrix is included in the Exhibits section. The uses and intensities approved within the existing DRI will remain unchanged, and introduce Institutional Use throughout the Formosa Gardens DRI and Master Plan. A copy of the Master Plan is provided in this application. With the incorporation of the above elements in this PD modification application, Comprehensive Development Plans will no longer be required for development. 8
