Design panel endorsed plan; petitioner to record covenants to enforce age restriction and MIHU compliance

Civil engineer Sam Alomar told the Hearing Examiner the project went before the Design Advisory Panel (DAP), that the DAP’s comments were addressed, and that DAP endorsed the proposal. The only DAP suggestion Alomar said remained involved sidewalk placement; he said the design adheres to the county design manual provisions that allow the proposed configuration.

Alomar said age restriction enforcement will be implemented via covenants and the condominium or homeowners association and that those covenants must be submitted to planning and zoning for review by the Office of Law and then recorded with the site plan. On moderate‑income housing units, Alomar said the project will comply with the law’s 10% MIHU requirement "or fee in lieu" depending on the developer’s choice; final compliance will be established at the SDP stage.
