permitted in the SAP Area without having to comply with permanent parking
requirements on the proposed interim parking lots. The Zoning Director may
approve the design of the interim parking lots prior to issuance of a building permit

analysis of the Public Facilities available to serve the Project. In the event that the Existing

within the Property or as a result of the development of the Project, the Developers shall
provide such Public Facilities consistent with the timing requirements of Section 163.3180,
Florida Statutes (2024), or as otherwise required by Chapter 13 of the City Code, as
amended from time to time, if applicable.
18. Construction of encroachments within the Public Right -of -Way. The City finds that

right-of-way and are a necessary, essential element in the construction of the pedestrian
overpasses above the same rights -of -way. To the extent set forth in the Project Plans, the
City hereby agrees to expeditiously sign off on all permits to permit encroachments within
the public right-of-way, including but not limited to Public Works permits. The adoption
of this Agreement shall serve to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 55-14(b) of
the City Code. Further, this Agreement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 55-14(d)
of the City Code. In consideration for authorizing the construction of the aforementioned
encroachments, Developers further covenants to:

Area may result in a condition where density from parcels within the Omni RDIA
and the SAP Area are allocated to parcels within the SAP Area but not the Omni
RDIA, so long as the total SAP Area permissible density is not exceeded. SAP
