PR O J E C T AN A LY S I S Project Description and Context The City of Orlando requests Planned Development approval for a new Major League Soccer stadium. The +/-10.5 acre subject property is bound on the north, west, and south by Central Blvd., Glenn Ln., and Church St. It extends over Parramore Ave. and a portion of Pine St. (both to be vacated by a concurrent abandonment application). Parramore Heritage Park, including the storm water pond, occupy the western 1/3 of the site. Fire Station #2 is at the southwest cor-ner of Parramore Ave. and Central Blvd. (to be relocated in the near future). The rest of the subject property (all City-owned) is va-cant. The stadium--Orlando’s second major league sports facility--features:

seating for 19,000 spectators (expandable to 22,900) in three levels, with the upper seating bowl cantilevered over the lower a supporters terrace overlooking Central and club seats and suites on west side a Score Board Room for 100 spectators and a bar open both to the inside of the stadium and Church St. playing field 8 ft. below street level a 16 ft. tall rotating lion statue at the main entrance

There will be four entrances: two along Church St., one at the northeast corner, and one at the terminus of Pine St on the east side of the stadium. One exit-only point will be at the north, to Central Blvd., secured from the street by a guardrail. The “front” of the stadium faces Church St. Beyond the entrances is an open plaza for gatherings and a stage. The interior concourse, four feet above grade, runs continuously around the stadium behind the lower bowl. The scoreboard will be centered at the south end of the stadium, between two 96 ft. tall stadium light poles. Below the scoreboard is a bar open to the stadium and Church St. side. At the southeast corner, there is a ticket booth and team store. This frontage allows for open views from Church St. of the field and the plaza. Locker rooms and food/beverage preparation areas, a kitchen, and areas for grounds keeping, maintenance and security staff are on the west side of the stadium. Office space in this location is 21,980 sq. ft. Along Glenn Lane is a 69-space surface parking lot includ-ing a drop off lane that can accommodate shuttles and limos. The existing Church Street “bridge” at the southwest corner of the site will remain. At the northwest corner of the site will be a service yard enclosed by 14 ft.-tall metal panel fence. It will house a three-bay loading dock, solid waste and recycling areas, media parking, and tunnel access to the field. This stadium will allow for an additional 3,900 seats. The preliminary plans show the extra seating installations at the southwest, northwest, and northeast corners of the upper bowl. As noted, there will be four pedestrian access points into the stadium. The following streetscape is proposed around the stadium:

Church St. - ranges from 14.5 ft. to 17 ft. Glenn Ln.- 6.5 ft. sidewalk Central Blvd. - streetscape ranges from 13.8 ft. to 21.3 ft., including 6 ft. street furniture/landscape zone and a pedestrian guardrail along Central Blvd.

East side- 15-25 ft. wide public plaza corridor area along entire east side, with raised landscaped planters. Pine St. east of the stadium will remain as is, with a sidewalk along the south side. Bollards may be installed at the terminus. A landscaped buffer with a fence is proposed along the southeast property line, abutting Faith Deliverance church.

During match days, the City anticipates closing Church St. to vehicular traffic from the stadium to Garland Ave. Conformance with the GMP and LDC The subject property has future land use designations of Public/Recreational and Institutional and Urban Activity Center. GMP2014-00036 is a small scale amendment to change the Urban Activity Center portion of the property to Public/Recreational and Institu-tional, in order to be consistent with the rest of the site. The subject property is zoned AC-2/T/PH and P/T/PH. The property is within the Traditional City and Parramore Heritage District Area. The eastern portion of the site is also within the Downtown Devel-opment of Regional Impact and the Downtown Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The Public/ Recrea-tional and Institu-tional future land use designation has no maximum/ mini-mum density or in-tensity. The Future Land Use Element provides standards relating to the Public Recreational Institu-tional future land use designation within Policy 4.1.9. Allowed uses in-clude Public Safety Facilities; Community and Neighborhood Parks; Recreation Centers; Play Fields; Active and Passive Recreation Areas; Public Buildings; and all other uses associated with the City’s P Zoning district. There is no minimum or maximum intensity for develop-ment. The proposed stadium use is consistent with this future land use designation. The proposed development program is for a 18,000 seat MLS Stadium with 21,980 sq. ft. of office, 324,085 sq. ft. of commercial. This yields an intensity of 0.75 FAR. The subject property is within Future Land Use Element Subarea Policies S.6.3, S.6.4 and S.6.9, related to the Parramore area.

Subarea Policy S.6.3: The City’s Land Development Regulations shall protect the residential integrity of the Parramore Heritage area, and increase the opportunities for appropriately located neighborhood-serving retail development.

The subject property is compatible with S.6.3. The development of a new MLS stadium will increase the draw to the Par-ramore area. This will generate opportunities for new residents as well as new retail development.

Subarea Policy S.6.4: The City shall support façade improvements in this subarea in accordance with the Parramore Heri-

tage Urban Design Plan. The subject property is compatible with S.6.4. This project will be revitalizing the site with new development which has un-

dergone Appearance Review.

Subarea Policy S.6.9: The City of Orlando has determined that the over-concentration of social service uses in the Par-ramore Heritage Renovation Area has had a negative impact on the area’s stability and prosperity. Likewise, the City has determined that the establishment of adult entertainment facilities would further limit the revitalization of the area. In order to protect existing residential areas, encourage reinvestment and promote the fair distribution of social services throughout the region, the City’s Land Development Code shall include provisions to appropriately limit or prohibit the establishment, expansion, and relocation of such uses within Subarea 6.

The subject property is compatible with S.6.9. The future land use amendment is for Public/Recreational and Institutional designation in order to development a MLS Stadium and is not related to social services.

The eastern portion of the property is within the Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and the Downtown Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The property is within the Parramore Heritage Planning Area in the CRA. The proposed mix of uses is compatible with the vision for this planning area; which is for stable residential areas will be accentuated by a significant arts, cul-tural and entertainment presence, while office and industrial developments will provide employment opportunities. The proposed PD amendment is consistent with the adopted and proposed (GMP2014-00036) future land use designations, the appli-cable subarea policies, the zoning designations and is compatible with the surrounding area. Alcohol sales. City code requires a separation of 1000 ft. between establishments selling alcoholic beverages and churches and schools. With this PD request, the applicant seeks exemption from this restriction. Signage. The submittal does not include any specific signs; these will be reviewed separately as a Planning Official’s Determination with City Council approval, and will also undergo Appearance Review Board review. The plans do identify a freestanding sign loca-tion at the southwest corner of the site. Also, the building elevations show sign panels on the east and west sides of the stadium and space for public art on the north and east. There is to be a team logo on the rear/Church St.-facing wall of the scoreboard. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR). The underlying AC-2 district limits ISR to 0.90. The plans comply with this standard. Transportation Along with the stadium, the site will contain ancillary uses such as food vending and +/- 22,000 sq. ft. of office space for the Orlando City team offices. A 69-space parking lot will serve the day-to-day use of the office and will serve as premium parking and drop-off during games and events. This parking lot will be accessed from one driveway on Glenn Ln. Communication, general delivery, and field maintenance equipment will access the enclosed loading dock area located on the southeast corner of Glenn Ln and Central Blvd. via a driveway onto Central Blvd. Parking for the general public will not be on site but will be provided at existing garage and surface lot facilities predominately east of the subject site. Pedestrians will access the site via Church St, Central Blvd. and an im-proved Pine Street. Three patron entrance/exit gates will operate on the east side of the stadium and a fourth exit only gate will open onto Central Blvd. directly south of the Parramore Av intersection. Transit. LYNX operates multiple Links on the roads adjacent to the subject site with stops within short walking distances of the site. The LYMMO Grapefruit line has stops adjacent to the site. The LYMMO Lime line will have stops within one-quarter mile of the site. The site is also within 0.6 mile (walking distance) of the Church Street SunRail stations. Transportation Improvements. The subject site is within one half mile of the I-4 corridor which will be undergoing widening in the near future. Along with the abandonment of two blocks of Parramore Av, various roadway and sidewalk improvements will be con-structed concurrently with the stadium to provide safe pedestrian movement between the stadium and the parking areas. Bicycle/ Pedestrian Facilities. Sidewalks exist on all streets near the subject property. Some of these will be widened and improved as a part of this project. No bicycle only facilities exist immediately adjacent to the subject site. Trip Generation. The site previously contained Parramore Heritage Park, Orlando Fire Dept. Station #2, and several unused ware-houses. Recent vehicular trip generation was low and erratic for all uses. Typical daily use for the offices on the subject site is expected to be less than 200 trips. MLS games and other events planned for this site will generate up to 8,000 trips into the Downtown area, but the great majority of these vehicles will park at locations remote from the subject site. Stormwater Stormwater from this site is planned to go to the existing pond southwest of the subject property. This pond is proposed to be expanded by the City.

Police Dept. Review The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for MLS-Orlando City Lions Soccer Stadium located at 655 W. Church St., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of the built environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening. For questions regarding the Orlando Police Department plan review, please contact Audra Nordaby at 407.246.2454 or [email protected]. Natural Surveillance: Design the site to keep intruders easily observable. This is promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking areas and building entrances; doors and windows that look out onto streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and street; porches or patios and adequate nighttime lighting. Overall Project: · A lighting plan was not available at the time of this review. Lighting plays a very important role in CPTED. It is crucial that lighting sends the right messages to the public about the safe and appropriate use of space at different times of the day and night. o All lighting for this project shall meet or exceed the guidelines in Orlando City Code, Title II, Chapter 63, Part 2M. o In order to give staff and fans a sense of safety, pedestrian-scale lighting should be used in all high-pedestrian traffic areas espe-cially along main entrances, all common areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways throughout the project. o Appropriate lighting should be included in all areas anticipated to be utilized after-dark. This is especially true in and around the parking area, elevator lobbies, stairwells, public and private entrances, public corridors, the service yard and throughout any amenity areas and in all pedestrian plazas around the stadium. o The use of full cut-off or shielded light fixtures is strongly encouraged to direct light where it is intended while reducing light trespass, glare, and waste. · Landscaping is another crucial aspect of CPTED. Trees branches should be kept trimmed to no lower than 6 ft. from the ground and shrubs should be kept trimmed to no higher than 30 inches. Avoid conflicts between landscaping and lighting, especially lighting adjacent to canopy trees. Landscaping should not create blind spots or hiding places and should not block/cover windows. Open green spaces should be observable from multiple points. · Benches (or outdoor furniture) placed in common areas are a good way to increase surveillance and encourage interaction. Consider furniture designs that encourage stopping and resting but reduce opportunities for potential offenders (i.e. a ribbed design rather than solid and center rails or arm rests to discourage sleeping).

Bicycle parking pads (if installed) should be observable from entrances, securely fastened and not hidden behind landscap-ing. Ensure that any canopies do not interfere with lighting, especially pedestrian scale.

· Consider utilizing convex mirrors or reflective surfaces in any interior 90° corners to support surveillance around corners. · Public restrooms should be visible from the main customer areas, away from outside exits and of a zigzag design. · Special attention should be given to potential ambush points along the east side of the stadium. The use of mirrors or reflective material in these ‘coves’ are a good option to consider. · Benches or outdoor furniture placed in common areas are a good way to increase surveillance and encourage community inter-action. Consider furniture designs that encourage stopping and resting but reduce opportunities for potential offenders (i.e. a ribbed design rather than solid and center rails or arm rests to discourage sleeping). · Bicycle parking pads should be observable from building entrances, securely fastened and not hidden behind landscaping. · Trash receptacles should be made of a see through material to reduce the opportunity for someone to ‘hide’ any potential haz-ards within the containers. Offices, Locker rooms, Grounds keeping, Service, and Retail Spaces:

Since there is typically no natural surveillance around a dumpster, be sure this area is well-lit and that lighting is well main-tained.


CO N D I T I O N S O F AP P R O VA L A security camera system (CCTV) capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and ap-prehension should be installed in areas without natural surveillance especially any place a shear wall may exist. Where possible, offices, reception areas, lobbies, or host stands should have exterior windows and furniture oriented to im-prove surveillance of public areas. All sides should have windows to observe walkways, parking areas and driving lanes. Advertisements and product displays should not be located in windows. If advertisements must be used, they should be small in size, cover no more than 15% of the window(s) and be located in an area that will not impede surveillance into and out of the building.

Natural Access Control: Design the site to decrease crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in offenders, a perception of risk. This can be accomplished by designing street, walkway, building and parking lot entrances to clearly indicate public routes and discourage access to private areas with structural and landscape elements.

Public entrances should be clearly defined by walkways, signs, and landscaping. Landscaping should create clear way-finding, be well lit and not block entrances or create ambush points. There should be no easy access to the roof of any buildings on property or the stadium itself. Way-finding located throughout the property should provide clear guidance for legitimate users while discouraging poten-tial offenders. Signage with hours of operation should be clearly visible at any public entrance. Traffic calming techniques as well as surface and gateway treatments around the project can promote safe vehicle speeds, reduce collision frequency and increase the safety and the perception of safety for non-motorized users. Walkways should be a minimum 6’ in width to enhance pedestrian flow.

Territorial Reinforcement: Design can create or extend a sphere of influence, where users develop a sense of territorial control, while potential offenders are discouraged. This is promoted by incorporating features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces such as; landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments and CPTED open design (see-through) fences. · The property should be designed to encourage interaction between users. · If the office building will have a separate address, it should have an address that is clearly visible from the street and parking areas with numbers a minimum of five-inches high made of non-reflective material. · Fences may be considered around the premium parking area to add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive, and create a sense of community. CPTED style fencing, up to 6-ft. in height, made of commercial grade steel is a good option to consider. Another option is landscape buffers, which include hostile vegetation, to delineate public from private spaces. The fencing and landscape buffer may be used together to further define and control spaces.

Maintenance is an important aspect of territorial reinforcement. A well-maintained area sends the message that people no-tice and care about what happens in an area. This in turn discourages vandalism and other crimes. The proposed pedestrian guardrails outside of the Central Avenue exit should be constructed in a way that will not allow patrons to go under or through the rail, thus defeating the purpose of the rails. On all of the proposed raised plant beds, retaining walls and terrace edges, consider including skate deterrents or architec-tural elements that encourage stopping and resting but reduce opportunities for potential offenders to sleep or hide in these areas.

Target Hardening: This can be accomplished by features that prohibit entry or access such as window locks, dead bolts for doors and interior door hinges. Overall Project: · We encourage the use of bollards as a means of delineating private from public spaces. Bollards that serve dual-purpose (i.e. bollards used for traffic or pedestrian control that also contain lights) are a good option to consider. · Door locks should be located a minimum of 40 inches from adjacent windows. · Air conditioner units should be caged and the cages should be securely locked. · An access control system should be considered throughout the project to secure private or restricted areas.

If an alarm or security system is installed, it should be regularly tested and maintained. During working hours, commercial alarm systems (to include any common or amenities areas) should be programmed so that a short beep is sounded if an exterior door opens.

· A security camera system (CCTVs) capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and appre-hension should be used throughout this project. Security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identi-


CO N D I T I O N S O F AP P R O VA L fication (“aiming” down from the ceiling often results in images of the offender’s hat). CCTVs should also be placed in several loca-tions throughout the parking areas, service access areas, property access points and any areas with limited or no natural surveillance. · Back or side doors (non-public) should be kept locked from the outside at all times. Internal business policy should prohibit the “propping open” of exterior doors. · Large glass doors and windows should be made of impact resistant glass or a security film (such as Lexan™). If security film is utilized, ensure that the light transmittance of the security film is greater than or equal to the light transmittance of the window's glass. · Each retail and concession space should contain a drop safe or cash management device. Additional precautions, such as silent alarms, hold-up alarms and retail training (what to do during a robbery), should be discussed with OPD’s Crime Prevention Unit Officer Christopher Newton, 407.246.2093. Additional Recommendations: Orlando Police Department Public Safety Communications System Conditions: Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS): All buildings shall provide an adequate level of indoor coverage for public-safety radio service for the City of Orlando radio commu-nications system, including but not limited to police, firefighters, and other emergency responders. A DAS system will also improve commercial cellular service for building occupants. The system will enable all first responders to communicate with dispatch and other field units. Inadequate coverage not only puts first responders at risk but also the citizens they are protecting. Adequate indoor radio coverage shall include the following standards: · Inbound into the building: A minimum average in-building field strength of 10 dbm above the noise floor throughout ninety-five (95%) of the area on each floor of the building when transmitted from the city’s police dispatch center and the appropriate emer-gency service dispatch centers which are providing fire and emergency medical protection service to the building. · Outbound from the building: A minimum average outbound field strength of 10 dbm above the noise floor throughout ninety-five percent (95%) of the area on each floor of the building when transmitted from the field units portable radio to the appropriate emergency service dispatch centers which are providing fire and emergency medical protection service to the building. · The City’s Communications Unit with consideration of the appropriate police, fire and emergency medical department ser-vices shall determine the frequency range or ranges that must be supported. For the purpose of this section, adequate radio coverage shall constitute a successful communications test between the equipment in the building and the Communications Centers for all appropriate emergency service providers for the building. · If any part of the installed system or systems contains an electrically powered component, the system shall be capable of an independent battery or generator system for a period of at least twelve hours without external power input or maintenance. The bat-tery system shall automatically charge in the presence of external power. · FCC authorization: All amplification equipment must be FCC Type Accepted. · Developments must comply with NFPA 72-2010 – National Fire alarm and Signaling Code, Public Safety In-Building Re-quirements, as it pertains to emergency communications systems (ECS), and their components. If you have any questions regarding the requirements as listed above, it is suggested that you contact the OPD Radio Systems Ad-ministrator, Norm Poe at 321.235.5314 or email [email protected]. The OPD Technical Review Committee representa-tive, Audra Nordaby 407.246.2454, can assist the applicant in contacting the Emergency Communication Representatives. Construction Site Crime Prevention: Due to the continued trend of theft of building materials and equipment from construction sites, Orlando Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit strongly recommends that the developer institute the following crime preven-tion/security measures at this project site: · Post signs at the site that theft from the site or trespassing on a construction site is a felony under Florida Law and that the de-veloper will prosecute. · To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum of 150


CO N D I T I O N S O F AP P R O VA L ft. intervals and at a height not less than fifteen (15’) from the ground. The light source used should have a minimum light output of 2,000 lumens, shall be protected by a vandal resistant cover, and shall be lighted during the hours of darkness. · In addition to lighting, one of the following physical security measures should be installed: o Fencing, not less than six (6’) ft. in height, which is designed to preclude human intrusion, should be installed along the perimeter boundaries of the site and should be secured with chain and fire department padlocks for emergency vehicle access; post in a clear area, an emergency contact person and phones numbers for after hours, in case of an emergency; or o A uniformed security guard should be hired to continually patrol the construction site during the hours when construction work has ceased. · Valuable construction materials and tools should be protected in a secondary fenced, locked cage.

Post in a clean, open area, the name and numbers of an emergency contact person for OPD in case of a night-time emer-gency.

If you have any questions, please call the Crime Prevention Unit, Officer Christopher Newton, 407.246.2093. Innovative Response to Improve Safety (I.R.I.S.) Camera System: OPD recommends that the developer contact OPD in an effort to coordinate camera system technology. OPD has the ability to moni-tor specified external camera systems from private facilities at the will of the developer or building owner. OPD monitoring will be in addition to self- monitoring and will not replace building camera monitoring. OPD will not have the ability to interfere with or manipulate building camera systems, only view. The additional monitoring is beneficial to both the developer/owner and OPD as a crime prevention and overall public safety solution. IRIS questions should be directed to the Orlando Police Department, Sgt. Andy Brennan, at [email protected]. Mutualink© - Real-time interoperable communications multimedia sharing:

Mutualink© is an IP-based multimedia overlay network, designed to leverage the sharing of your existing radio, video, telephone, and IP-sensory equipment including disparate systems, as well as next-generation communication technology. Security and Public Safety agencies using Mutualink© have the dual benefit of maintaining full control of their radio, video, tele-phone, and IP-sensory related resources, while making them available for interoperable connection with other agencies' systems with the click of a mouse. Interconnection with the Mutualink© network is achieved without impacting the operation of existing console and remote control equipment. OPD recommends that the developer contact OPD in an effort to coordinate security and surveillance system technology. OPD has the ability to monitor specified camera systems from private facilities at the will of the developer or building owner. OPD monitoring will be in addition to self- monitoring and will not replace building camera monitoring.
