Project Description and Context The applicant is requesting Master Plan approval to develop a 212-room, 15-story Hyatt Place hotel with a 462-space parking garage at 225 S. Garland Avenue. The 1.7-acre subject property is at the northeast corner of South Street and Garland Avenue and includes the Church Street Ballroom. It is currently developed with the 43,106 sq. ft. Church St. Ballroom and 80 paved parking spaces. The hotel would be developed on the south half of the site adjacent to the ballroom. The ground floor of the hotel would include guest seating and dining space, next to the lobby. No formal restaurant or retail space is proposed. A potential future “Phase 2” of this project would involve redevelopment of the northern portion of the subject property (the ball-room site) including a possible second parking garage connecting to the parking garage included in the current development phase. While the applicant has no plans for Phase 2 at this time, eventual redevelopment of the northern piece will require Master Plan review. Previous Actions • 1886— Property platted as part of W.A. Patrick’s Addition to the Town of Orlando

• 1901—Church Street ballroom initial construction

• 1993– Church Street ballroom redevelopment, including 83 paved parking spaces

• Aug. 2014– ARB conducted courtesy review

Master Plan Criteria (LDC Section 65.335)

The Municipal Planning Board and City Council shall consider the following factors in their review of Master Plan applications: 1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the use and all other requirements of the LDC.

2. Growth Management Plan (GMP). The consistency of the proposal with all applicable policies of the City's adopted GMP.

3. Use and District Requirements. The proposal must conform to the requirements of the zoning district(s) in which it is located and, where applicable, to the requirements of Chapter 58 for the particular use or activity under consideration.

4. Performance and Design Regulations. The proposal must conform to all applicable performance and design regulations of Chapters 58, 60, 61, and 62.

5. Public Facilities and Services. Will necessary public facilities (both on- and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, recreation, etc. be adequate to serve the proposed use.

Conformance with Growth Management Plan and Zoning

The subject property is designated Downtown Activity Center (D-AC) on the Official Future Land Use Map and zoned AC-3A/T/MA and AC-3A/T/HP/MA. The D-AC Future Land Use classification applies to all adjacent properties.

Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The proposed FAR for this project, as measured off of the entire 1.7 acre subject property, is 2.59 (Maximum allowed FAR in the AC-3A/T district is 3.0.) Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR). The proposed ISR is 95%. AC-3A/T district limits ISR to 95%.

These development standards are summarized in Table 2 below.

Setbacks.

This property is a corner lot, with the following yard designations:

front: along South Street (the shorter of the two street frontages) street-side: along Garland Ave. side: along CSX railroad rear: north property line

Required and proposed setbacks are given in Table 3.

As shown, the front and street-side yard setbacks exceed the maximums allowed. However, the larger front yard building setback allows for the provision of a full 15 ft. sidewalk. With regard to the greater street-side yard set-back, the guest drop off along this frontage acts as a secon-dary “service street” parallel to Garland Avenue. Setting the building back from Garland allows vehicular maneuvering to occur on site instead of in the right-of-way. Finally, there will be a 16 ft. canopy from the west edge of the building to within +/- 15 ft. of the property line.

There will be a +/- 11 ft. separation between the north wall of the Hyatt Place and the existing stairs on the exterior south wall of the ballroom, and roughly 22 ft. between the hotel and ballroom buildings.

Transportation

Access. The sole access for this property to the City’s roadway system will be via 2 driveways onto Garland Ave. The northern-most driveway will provide the primary access to the parking garage and service areas. The southern driveway will be right-in only and will facilitate valet service, taxis, and temporary parking for initial guest check-in. The two driveways will be connected internally.

Transportation Improvements. The subject property is adjacent to Interstate 4 and will be significantly impacted by the Ultimate I-4 Project, scheduled to begin in 2015. This work will include widening of I-4, as well as changes to South St in the vicinity of the hotel. No other significant

transportation projects are scheduled or pro-grammed in the area. Bicycle/ Pedestrian Facilities. Sidewalks exist on the east side of Garland Av and both sides of South St adjacent to the subject prop-erty. The closest bike facility is the Gertrude’s Trail mixed-use path, which terminates 450 ft north of this parcel. Parking. Within this 15-story building is a 462-space, six-level parking garage, on floors two through seven. There will be 310 spaces for retail on floors two through five, and 151 spaces for the hotel on floors six and seven. Sec. 61.342 “Downtown Parking Area requirements” specifies the following standards, as noted in Table 4. Table 5 from the Transportation Impact Study submitted by HDR illustrates the variety of transit options available near the sub-ject property. Public Transit. The site plan notes a “possible future train platform” for the SunRail com-muter train along the CSX railroad. The platform width at its minimum is 10 ft., measured between the building wall and columns along the tracks. With this project, the plat-form will be built only as a corridor and not as the SunRail station. The existing SunRail train station for south-bound trains will remain in its current location south of South Street. It will be moved to the sub-ject property only upon redevelop-ment of the Church Street Ballroom, when sufficient width will be avail-able to relocate the station. Until then, staff is asking the applicant to fence off/secure the platform area to prevent vagrancy.

Trip Generation:

The subject parcel is currently used as a surface parking lot with approxi-mately 80 stalls. The hotel is ex-pected to use 151 parking stalls, gen-erating 1,507 daily trips and 111 PM peak hour vehicle trips after a 10% reduction for transit and other non-automotive trips. The proposed park-ing garage will be constructed with

approximately 310 more stalls than will be needed by the hotel patrons. This additional parking will serve the second phase of the project and be available for public use for drivers accessing retail, office and other uses in the Church St, Amway Center, and Performing Arts Center areas. Estimation of the additional trips associated with this surplus parking is speculative, but for the analysis is assumed to be twice the hotel trip generation (3,000 daily and 220 pm peak). The overall expected number of trips entering and exiting the garage during PM peak hours is 333 vehicles with a nearly equal balance between the inbound and out-bound movements. Urban Design /Appearance Review Board

This project is within the Downtown Development Board (DDB) Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), requiring review by the Appearance Review Board for all new construction. ARB provided a courtesy review of this project in August 2014. Final approval of the architectural elevations and development plans is still required.

Streetscape.

A 15 ft. wide sidewalk is required along both street frontages, to consist of a nine ft. wide pedestrian clear zone plus a six ft. streetscape furniture and street tree zone. Streetlights will be double acorn type with LEDs and shields. Tree wells will be six ft. by nine ft., with high-rise oaks along South St.

Signage. The subject property is within the Downtown Core sub-district of the Downtown Special Sign District (Sec. 64.400). Signage for this project is thus subject to this section of the Land Development Code and the general applicable requirements of Ch. 64– On-Site Signs.

School Review

This project does not propose any residential dwelling units, so no OCPS review is required.

Stormwater

Stormwater will be handled through an underground vault system.

ARCHITECTURE

a. Additional Architectural Fenestration— Additional architectural fenestration and detailing shall be incorporated into the building design in order to make the structure at this prominent downtown gateway location more iconic, unique and dramatic in the Orlando skyline. Enhanced treatments could include but are not limited to additional trim and mullion detailing, the addition of recesses, projections or undulations to the building facades and rooflines, additional architec-tural features such as canopies, shade screens, eyebrows, fins and/or additional variations in materials and colors. Final building elevations will be reviewed and approved as part of the Final ARB Major Review prior to issuance of building permits.

b. Architectural Lighting— Significant architectural lighting shall be incorporated into the final building design in order to enhance the building’s night time appearance. Final lighting plans will be reviewed and approved in conjunction with the ARB Final Review prior to issuance of building permits.

c. Parking Garage Cladding — The Applicant shall include additional fenestration into the garage façades to break up the mass of the louvered sections. Additional fenestration could include but is not limited to a combination of treatments such as a contrasting mullion system. All floors of the parking shall have a minimum 36” tall opaque wall to block head-light glare from spilling out of the parking garage space.

Periodic openings may be provided in the wall for enhanced security, subject to ARB approval.

e. 10-foot Pedestrian Connection to Garland — The 10-foot pedestrian path shall include pedestrian level lighting to in-crease the security and comfort for pedestrians after dark. The decorative lighting shall be incorporated into the façade of the building in order to avoid adding vertical obstructions in the pedestrian area. Periodic openings may be provided in the wall for enhanced security.

f. Potential Future SunRail Platform — Until the train platform is in operation the platform area shall be secured with a CPTED fence such as aluminum picket. This will discourage loitering and vagrancy in the platform area until the plat-form is operational. The large mass of the west wall of the platform area shall be enhanced with murals, art panels or a similar treatment in order to break up the mass of the wall and to provide a more enlivened passenger waiting area. Granite cladding that matches the Garland Avenue column cladding shall be added to the columns on the SunRail plat-form.

g. Materials — Durable materials such as stone, brick, pre-cast, etc. are encouraged at the ground level. Stucco may be appropriate on upper levels, but not at the base of any building. A granite watertable base 24 to 36 inches tall shall be added to all exterior walls of the hotel site including the west wall of the SunRail Platform.

h. Transparency – The ground floor building walls of all structures facing a right-of-way shall contain a minimum of 15% of transparent materials, located between 3 and 7 feet measured from ground level. Reflective glass and glass block are not counted as transparent materials. Transparent materials on walls not parallel to the street and on doors shall not be counted toward the minimum transparency requirement.

i. Glazing - All glass at the ground level shall be clear. Minimum light transmittance shall be 80%. High performance or Low-E glass may be considered as an alternative with a minimum transmittance of 60%.

Police The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for Hyatt Place located at 225 S. Garland Ave., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of a created envi-ronment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any develop-ment: 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.

• All lighting for this project shall meet the guidelines in Orange County Ordinance No. 2003-08 and Orlando Land Develop-ment Code.

• In order to give employees and patrons a sense of safety, pedestrian-scale lighting should be used in all high-pedestrian traffic areas especially along entrances, the pedestrian colonnade, parking garage entrances, entrances to common areas, the pro-poses train platform and all walkways.

• Appropriate lighting should be included in any areas anticipated to be utilized after-dark. • This is especially true in and around the parking structure, elevator lobbies, stairwells, all public and private entrances, public

corridors and throughout any amenities. • Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security feature in a parking area. Illumination, uniformity, and

MPL2014-00025— Hyatt Place Downtown Page 21

glare should all be taken into consideration. Lighting fixtures should be reliable, easy to maintain, withstand the elements, and be vandal-resistant.

• Since there is typically no natural surveillance around service and dumpster areas, be sure these areas are well-lit and that lighting is well maintained.

• Landscaping is another crucial aspect of CPTED. Trees branches should be kept trimmed to no lower than 6 feet 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 nearby structures.

• Benches (or outdoor furniture) placed in common areas are a good way to increase surveillance and encourage community interaction. If used, 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 should be observable from building entrances, securely fastened and not hidden behind landscaping. • Ensure that any canopies do not interfere with lighting, especially pedestrian scale, if these locations are to be used during

nighttime hours. • Any interior 90° corners in the hallways and common areas should utilize convex mirrors or reflective material to enhance

surveillance and line of site around corners. • All sides of the building should have windows to observe the walkways, parking areas and driving lanes. • Where possible, offices, reception areas, lobbies, or host stands should have exterior windows and furniture oriented to

improve visibility of any employees, patrons, and visitors moving throughout the property. Parking Garages: • Vehicle and pedestrian entrances into the parking garage should be well lit and defined by landscaping, signage and/or

architectural design. • Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security feature in a parking garage. Illumination, uniformity,

and glare should all be taken into consideration. Lighting fixtures should be reliable, easy to maintain, withstand the ele-ments, and be vandal-resistant.

• White concrete stain on the ceilings and beams within the parking garage is recommended to reflect light and improve uniformity.

• Anti-graffiti coating on the walls is recommended to discourage potential offenders from “tagging” these areas. • A parking garage design that is “open” on all sides is highly recommended. Shear walls should be avoided, especially

near turning bays and pedestrian travel paths. The use of cabling and other architectural elements that allow for visibility are encouraged.

• Stairwells should be well lit and constructed of an open design (not behind solid walls) that allows for visibility. • Elevator lobbies should be well lit and reflective surface materials may be used in these ‘coves’ to aid in natural surveil-

lance and safety for users. • Any interior 90° corners (i.e. turning bays) should utilize convex mirrors or reflective material to enhance surveillance

around corners. 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 used around building and

parking garage entrances 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 the building. • Signs located throughout the parking facility should remind users to lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight. • Way-finding located throughout the property should help guide users to authorized areas while discouraging potential of-

fenders. • Signage with hours of operation should be clearly visible at any public entrance. • We encourage the use of traffic calming techniques as well as surface and gateway treatments throughout the project to

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.

Page 22: MPL2014-00025 Hyatt Place Downtown - Orlando...Page 5 MPL2014-00025— Hyatt Place Downtown transportation projects are scheduled or pro-grammed in the area. Bicycle/ Pedestrian Facilities

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. · The building should have an address that is clearly visible from the street with numbers a minimum of five-inches high made of non-reflective material. • Fences may be considered to add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive,

and create a sense of community. CPTED style fencing, at least 6-foot in height, 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 reinforce delineation.

• 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.

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: • Door locks should be located a minimum of 40 inches from adjacent windows. • Room and non-public doors should contain 180° viewers/peep holes, interior hinges, single cylinder deadbolt locks with a minimum two-inch throw, metal frames with 3’ screws in the strike plates, and be made of solid core material. This includes all special use room doors. • All windows that open should have locks. • Sliding glass doors should have one permanent door on the outside and the inside moving door should have a docking de-vice and a pin. • An access control system should be considered so only employees and patrons of the hotel have access to their respective floor, parking, common amenities, and pedestrian access points. Common area doors or gates (leasing office, fitness center, pools, etc.) should have locks that automatically lock when the doors close. • Common areas should have signs that clearly identify operating hours and state that facilities are only for use by residents. • If an alarm or security system is installed, each unique space should be clearly identified with the alarm company and monitoring center and should be regularly tested and maintained. During working hours, commercial alarm systems (to include any common areas) should be programmed so that a short beep is sounded if an exterior door opens. • A security camera system capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and apprehen-sion should be used throughout this project. Security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identifi-cation (“aiming” down from the ceiling often results in images of the offender’s hat). CCTVs should also be placed in several locations throughout the parking areas, property access points, the proposed train platform and any other 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 pro-hibit the “propping open” of exterior doors. • OPD’s Crime Prevention Unit recommends that large glass doors and windows be made of impact resistant glass or a se-curity film (such as Lexan™) to reduce the opportunity for burglaries. If security film is utilized, ensure that the light transmit-tance of the security film is greater than or equal to the light transmittance of the window's glass. Additional precautions, such as silent alarms, hold-up alarms and retail training (what to do during a robbery), should be dis-cussed with OPD’s Crime Prevention Unit Officer Christopher Newton, 407.246.2093. 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 prevention/security measures at this project site: 1) 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 developer will prosecute. 2) To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum of 150 foot 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. 3) In addition to lighting, one of the following physical security measures should be installed: a. Fencing, not less than six (6’) feet 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 b. A uniformed security guard should be hired to continually patrol the construction site during the hours when construction work has ceased. 4) 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 emergency.

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 com-munications 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 dis-patch 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: 1) 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 appro-priate emergency service dispatch centers which are providing fire and emergency medical protection service to the building. 2) 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 ap-propriate emergency service dispatch centers which are providing fire and emergency medical protection service to the building. 3) 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 cover-age 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. 4) 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 battery system shall automatically charge in the presence of external power. 5) FCC authorization: All amplification equipment must be FCC Type Accepted. 6) Developments must comply with NFPA 72-2010 – National Fire alarm and Signaling Code, Public Safety In-Building Requirements, 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 Administrator, Norm Poe at 321.235.5314. The OPD Technical Review Committee representative, 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 prevention/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

developer will prosecute.

• To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum of 150 foot 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: • Fencing, not less than six (6’) feet 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 ac-cess; post in a clear area, an emergency contact person and phones numbers for after hours, in case of an emergency; or

• 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 monitor 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 Pub-lic Safety agencies using Mutualink© have the dual benefit of maintaining full control of their radio, video, telephone, 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 re-mote 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. OPD will not have the ability to interfere with or manipulate building camera systems, only view. The additional monitoring is beneficial to both the devel-oper/owner and OPD as a crime prevention and overall public safety solution.

Mutualink© questions should be directed to the Orlando Police Department, Sgt. Andy Brennan, at Andrew.Brennan@ cityofor-lando.net.
