PR O JE CT AN A LYS IS Project Description

The +0.55 acre subject site is located in the Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and the South Eola neighborhood, at

the northeast intersection of E. Central Blvd. and N. Rosalind Ave. The applicant is requesting PD/T (Planned Development/ Tradi-

tional City Overlay) rezoning for a 28-story mixed-use development comprised of 215 multifamily units, 9,467 sq. ft. of ground floor

retail, 1,955 sq. ft. café and 30,669 sq. ft of commercial/ retail with mezzanine space on the 11th floor and an integrated parking

structure. The site is zoned AC-3A/T (Downtown Metropolitan Activity Core/Traditional City Overlay) and has a Future Land Use

designation of Downtown Activity Center (DT-AC). The proposal is consistent with the Future Land Use and proposed Zoning des-

ignations.

Previous Actions:

1905– Property platted as part of the Grannis & Sperrys Addition Subdivision.

1925– Structure at 205 E. Central Ave. constructed.

1927– Structure at 215 E. Central Ave. constructed.

1958– Structure at 1 N Rosalind Ave. constructed.

Nov. 2006– MPB recommended denial of a rezoning from AC-3A/T to PD/T with an intensity bonus to allow a 39-story mixed-

use development with 86 residential units, 225 hotel room, ground-level commercial and a restaurant. The application was sub-

sequently withdrawn prior to action by City Council. (ZON2005-00039)

July 2007– City Council approved a rezoning to PD/T with an intensity bonus to allow a mixed-use building consisting of a 22-

story (295 ft. tall), 225 room hotel with ground-level commercial and a restaurant. (ZON2006-00065, Doc# 0707091004)

Sept. 2008– City Council approved a PD amendment to enlarge the development site to the include the 0.12 acre parcel to the

west and allow a 25-story (317 ft. tall), 225 room hotel with ground-level commercial and a restaurant. (ZON2008-00003, Doc#

0809081003)

June 2015– The ARB provided courtesy review of the proposed development (ARB2015-00028).

Project Context The site currently contains 3 structures (office and commercial uses) built between 1925-1958 (see above for descriptions) and sur-

face parking. See Table 1– Project Context for more details on surrounding structures and zoning/future land use designations.

Conformance with the GMP The DT-AC future land use designation has a maximum density/ intensity, respectively, of 200 du/acre and 4.0 FAR and a minimum

of 75 du/acre and/or 0.75 FAR. Future Land Use Element Policy 2.1.3 encourages concentration of development in Activity Centers

and allows for the allocation of intensity bonuses through the Land Development Code. “These standards shall encourage mixed-use

development, multimodal public transit facilities, pedestrian-oriented amenities, high quality building and site design, affordable

housing, and other features that foster livability, community identity and civic pride.” Section 58.1101 (b) of the Land Development

Code, the progression of intensity of Downtown Activity Center can be doubled (maximum allowed density and intensity with a bo-

nus is 400 du/acre and/or 8.0 FAR). The proposed planned development amendment is consistent with the adopted future land use

designations, the zoning designation, the Downtown CRA, Downtown DRI and is compatible with the surrounding area.

PR O JE CT AN A LYS IS

Conformance with the LDC

The PD district is intended to provide a process for the evaluation of unique, individually planned developments which are not other-

wise permitted in the zoning districts and provide superior design. The subject site is zoned AC-3A/T (Downtown Metropolitan Ac-

tivity Core/Traditional City Overlay) on the Official Zoning Map. This zoning district is intended for development which strengthen

Downtown as the economic, governmental and cultural hub of the Central Florida region. It provides for concentrated residential,

commercial, office and recreational and cultural facilities. The District serves the entire metropolitan area, and at the highest intensi-

ties available within the region. The default zoning shall be AC-3A/T with the PD rezoning. Table 2- Development Standards details

the total proposed intensity for this PD. At a proposed density of 391 du/ac the development is below the maximum allowed density

of 400 du/ac with bonus.

Table 3-Setback Requirements lists the proposed standards com-

pared to code requirements. The development is conforming

along all property lines except the east. This PD request proposes

modification to the minimum allowed rear setback of 10 ft. to

allow an eastern setback of 0 ft. The AC-3A/T has no maximum

permitted height but rather is limited based on FAA approval.

Bufferyard requirement are not applicable within the AC-3A/T

zoning district. Proposed ISR calculations have not been pro-

vided but with the open space triangle easement located along the

northernmost property boundary (to the rear of the Rosalind

Club), the project should be in compliance. An FAA letter of ap-

proval and ISR calculations shall be required at the time of per-

mitting.

Density Bonus

As previously mentioned, the development requests a density bonus to achieve the proposed 215 units (bonus of 191 du/ac). Chapter

58, Part 6 of the LDC requires that a project seeking a bonus demonstrates several factors. Section 58.1103 also establishes orienta-

tion, parking, services, as well as site and building design requirements. Density bonuses also require a mixed use component in the

development program. The proposed development consists of both commercial and residential. Site design improvements include

enhanced streetscapes as well as landscaping in the park. Building design improvements include differentiation between the base

middle and top. Also, the proposed mansard roof at the top of the building is distinctive, integrates well with the body of the tower

and podium creating a unique feature in the downtown skyline. In regards to parking and service areas, they are well screened and

the use of ground floor retail maximizes architectural interest and human activity.

PR O JE CT AN A LYS IS CRA Plan

The site is located within Downtown Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) which includes a recently updated area plan (The

DTOutlook). The mission of the Community Redevelopment Agency is to aggressively pursue redevelopment and revitalization

activities within the Downtown Orlando Community Redevelopment Area, with emphasis on providing more housing and cultural

arts opportunities, improving long-term transportation needs and encouraging retail development. Downtown Orlando is comprised

of several neighborhoods and activity centers, each with its own unique, distinguishing characteristics. The subject property is

within the Lake Eola Heights planning area of the CRA which supports context sensitive infill development. While this property is

adjacent to Lake Eola on the north and east sides it is not adjacent to the historic neighborhoods. It should also be noted that the sub-

ject property abuts the Central Business District planning area to the west, the core of Downtown Orlando and heart of the Metro

Orlando region, and the South Eola planning area to the south, described as an emerging residential, dining and entertainment area.

The project is consistent with the CRA Plan (2015 Update), specifically consistent with the following strategies.

Transportation Access and Connectivity, Opportunity 2, Strategy 4: Support the provision of public parking within new develop-

ment projects, particularly in areas that are underserved with public parking.

Parks and Open Space, Opportunity 1, Strategy 3: Encourage development of plazas and open spaces in new construction pro-

jects throughout the CRA.

Housing and Neighborhoods, Opportunity 3, Strategy 4: Promote and encourage neighborhood-oriented retail and service oppor-

tunities in underserved areas of the CRA.

Housing and Neighborhoods, Opportunity 4, Strategy 1: Encourage future higher density development to locate in areas cur-

rently zoned for such development and limit support for zoning changes that would result in altering the traditional charm

and character of existing neighborhoods.

Education and Social Fabric, Opportunity 4, Strategy 9: Support creation of additional “3rd Places” in Downtown, such as coffee

shops, lounge spaces, and seating within plazas, to allow for increased social interaction.

Lake Eola

The proposal includes enhancements to Lake Eola Park and the activation of an area that presently contains relatively under utilized

park space. The applicant proposes outdoor seating, a waterwall and the addition of pedestrian pathways and landscaping along east-

ern property line of the development site, within Lake Eola Park. The seating is proposed at 20 ft. in width but shall be limited to a

maximum width of 15 ft. The Developer must enter into agreement with the City of Orlando to include agreed upon improvements,

lease of the portion of the park where the Developer intends to make improvements, access to the park and improvements, the in-

tended use of the area and other items, prior to being issued a permit for any construction on park property.

Urban Design/Appearance Review Board (ARB)

This project is located in the DDB (Downtown Development Board)/CRA Overlay District, which requires review by the Appear-

ance Review Board (ARB) for all new construction. ARB provided a courtesy review of this project on June 18, 2015. Final ap-

proval of the building and site plans is required through the Appearance Review Board. The subject property is located outside of the

Downtown Special Sign District and is therefore subject to Part 2 of Chapter 64. A Master Sign Plan shall be required for the devel-

opment.

Transportation

The subject development will have access

to the City’s roadway network via a right-

in/right-out driveway onto S. Rosalind

Ave. along the northwest portion of the

development site and full-access along E.

Central Blvd. The E. Central access is

limited to solid waste collection with resi-

dential and commercial vehicular access

on S. Rosalind. Ave. The subject parcel

is currently occupied by several busi-

nesses in smaller buildings. Each of these

businesses relies heavily on walk up traf-

fic and parking off-site. With less than 10

parking spaces on site these are minimal

are currently expected for the residential uses, however, the above minimum parking could be allocated to the commercial spaces

show on the ground level and the 11th floor.

Located within the Downtown Parking Area, the proposed retail and restaurant uses are exempt from minimum parking requirements

with a maximum of 3 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. The Downtown Parking Area allows minimum residential parking requirements at the

same rate as outside of downtown, though a maximum of 2 spaces per unit applies. At 467 parking spaces, the development is within

the minimum and maximum allowed parking requirements.

Stormwater

The site currently has no existing stormwater facilities on site. An underground stormwater exfiltration system is proposed with the

redevelopment.

Schools

On July 7, 2008, the City adopted a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) and the Amended Interlocal Agreement for Public

School Facility Planning and Implementation of Concurrency which requires all residential developments be subject to school con-

currency review. A list of exemptions from this review is provided under Section 16.2 of the Agreement. Included in the list of ex-

emptions are DRIs that have filed a complete application for a development order prior to May 1, 2005 (Section 16.2(j)). Under the

terms of the agreement, the City will advise OCPS of comprehensive plan amendments, zoning amendments, and development pro-

posals that may have the effect of increasing existing density. This site is located within the Downtown DRI, which is included in the

list of exemptions of DRIs that have filed a complete application, therefore this site is exempt from concurrency. The development

is also exempt from a capacity enhancement agreement.

sewer system capacity of the Downtown District sewer system and its ability to serve the wastewater flow generated by the proposed

density and uses of the development. A capacity analysis shall be prepared for review by the Wastewater Division.

Police 1. CPTED Review. The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for 215 E Central Blvd PD, a multi-family, mixed use

development, located at 215 E. Central Blvd., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles.

CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of a created 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, Terri-

torial Reinforcement and Target Hardening.

2. 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 pri-

vate 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.

• Each retail space or dwelling unit should have an address that is clearly visible with numbers a minimum of five-inches high

made of non-reflective material.

o Note: If the parking facility has spaces that are reserved for residents, the numbers should not coincide with the

dwelling unit addresses for the safety of the residents. • Fencing could be used in select areas to add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unob-

trusive, and create a sense of community. CPTED open style fencing is a good option to consider. Another option is land-

scape 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.

3. 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.

• Air conditioner units should be caged and the cages should be securely locked.

• An access control system should be considered so only authorized personnel have access to restricted or non-public areas.

This can be incorporated into the parking facility and residential amenities areas as well. • Common area doors or gates should have locks that automatically lock when the doors close.

• If alarm or security systems are installed, each retail space, suite or dwelling unit should have a separate system that can be

regularly tested and maintained by the occupants. During working hours, commercial alarm systems (to include any com-

mon areas and residential amenities) 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 apprehension

ZON2015-00010— City Centre PD - 215 E. Centra l Blvd

should be used throughout this project. Security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identi-

fication ("aiming" down from high angles often results in images of the offender's hat). CCTVs should also be placed in

several locations throughout the parking facility, property access points and common areas; especially areas with limited or

no natural surveillance. • Back or service 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. • Large glass doors and windows should be made of impact resistant glass or a security film (such as Lexan™). If installing

security film, 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 or restaurant space should contain a drop safe or cash management device.

• A conspicuous sign should be placed at the entrance which states that the cash register contains $50 or less.

• Emergency call boxes are a consideration in areas with limited natural surveillance such as the amenities level.

Residential Units: • Exterior 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 in-

cludes facility and storage 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 or secondary lock. • An access control system should be considered so only residents have access to their building, floor, parking, common

amenities, and pedestrian access points. Common area doors or gates (leasing office, fitness center, pool, etc.) should have

locks that automatically lock when the doors close. • Common areas should have signs that clearly identify operating hours and state if facilities are only for use by residents.

• If alarm or security systems are installed, each dwelling unit should have a separate system that can be regularly tested and

maintained by the occupants.

Parking Facility: • Including signage and an access control system is a good option to delineate public vs. private areas and further define and

control spaces.

Additional precautions, such as silent alarms, hold-up alarms, retail training (what to do during a robbery) and Neighborhood watch,

should be discussed with OPD's Crime Prevention Unit Officer Karen Long, 407.246.2489.

4. 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 create a sense of safety, pedestrian-scale lighting should be used in all high-pedestrian traffic areas

throughout the development to include building entrances, pedestrian promenades, parking facility entrances, common

areas, parks spaces/courtyards, amenity deck, outdoor café areas, walkways and service areas.

o Appropriate lighting should be included in all areas anticipated to be used after-dark.

o Lighting should not be screened out by landscaping (especially pedestrian scale lighting) or building structures

such as overhangs or awnings.

o Uniformity of light is crucial to avoid 'dark' spots, especially in parking areas.

o Any illumination shall not cause a glare or excessive brightness that adversely affects the vision of pedestrians or

motor vehicle operators on public or private property.

o Pedestrian walkways, back lanes and access routes open to public spaces should be lit so that a person with normal

vision is able to identify a face from a distance of 30 feet during nighttime hours.

o The use of full cut-off or shielded light fixtures can 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 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. • Outdoor furniture placed in common areas is a good way to increase surveillance and encourage community 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 should be observable from entrances, securely fastened and not hidden behind landscaping or shear walls.

• Ensure that any canopies or awnings do not interfere with pedestrian scale lighting, especially in all locations used during

nighttime hours.

Parking Facility: • Vehicle and pedestrian entrances into the parking facility should be well lit and defined by landscaping, signage and/or ar-

chitectural design. • Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security feature in a parking facility. 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 facility can reflect light and improve uniformity.

• The use of anti-graffiti coating on the walls is a good option to discourage potential offenders from vandalizing these areas.

• A parking facility 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 constructed of an open design (not behind solid walls) and the staircase design should allow for visibil-

ity. • Elevator lobbies should be well lit and reflective surface materials may be used in these 'coves' to aid in natural surveillance

and safety for users. • Consider convex mirrors or reflective material to facilitate surveillance around interior 90° corners.

• Residential Units:

• Entry doors on all residential units should contain 180° viewers/peep holes.

• Consider convex mirrors or reflective material to facilitate surveillance around interior 90° corners.

• Retail and Commercial Spaces:

• Since there is typically no natural surveillance between buildings and dumpsters or service areas, be sure these areas are

well-lit and that lighting is well maintained. • 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 including parking facilities, service areas and 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 of a building should have windows to observe the 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 and located in an area that will not interfere with visibility through the windows. • Decals which display height measures should be posted inside any public entrance.

• Public restrooms should be visible from the main customer areas and away from outside exits.

• Park area and Amenities Deck:

• Pedestrian scale lighting should not be screened out by landscaping or building structures such as overhangs or awnings.

• 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. Land-

scaping should not create blind spots or hiding places and should not block/cover windows.

Fire

1. TRC fire code review is preliminary in nature, and is intended to expose or prevent evident design deficiencies with State and City

Fire Codes. The design will be reviewed in detail for State and City Fire Code compliance at the time of permit application. Dead

ends shall be in accordance with NFPA 101 30.2.5. Common path of travel, exit arrangement, exit capacity, and number of exits for

the 29th floor shall be in accordance with NFPA 101 chapter 12. Exit separation for the parking garage shall be in accordance with

NFPA 101 7.5.1.3.2. Exit access, exits, and exit discharge for the entire building shall be in accordance with NFPA 101 7.5.1.3.2.
