PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is an application for a revised major development final site plan for an outdoor shooting range. The project site is a portion of a parent parcel of approximately 630 acres located at 500 SW Long Drive, approximately 2.3 miles north of SW Martin Highway and west of Interstate I-95. The entire parcel has a future land use of Agricultural and a zoning district designation of AG-20A. Included in this application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation.
The South Florida Shooting Grounds project received final site plan approval on February 25, 2009 for a 42-acre outdoor shooting range. The current application adds a sporting clay course to the outdoor shooting range. An amendment to Section 3.99.2 Land Development Regulations (LDR), providing zoning criteria for Sporting Clay Courses was approved on July 24, 2018.
This application is a request to revise the approved site plan to incorporate the sporting clay course as well as add a 20,000 square foot equipment pole barn, additions to the existing club house and trap shooting range, and additional onsite sewage disposal systems and associated infrastructure.
The site is not located within an urban service district and is therefore currently serviced by a potable water well and septic systems. Included with this application is a request for a waiver to Policy 10.2A.8.1 to exceed the total site buildout flow of 2,000 gallons per day (GPD) of the onsite sewage treatment and disposal system (OSTDS). The applicant has received a Florida Department of Health determination for an OSTDS of 4,677 GPD. The waiver requires Board of County Commission approval in conjunction with the revised final site plan.
ISSUES:
There are no unresolved issues related to this application.
