Project Description The applicant is requesting Master Plan approval to construct a 55,000 sq. ft. Ferrari and Maserati sales/showroom and vehicle service center. The property is zoned MU-2 and is in the Millenia neighborhood. Previous Actions 8/1985: Property annexed into the City of Orlando (City Doc. #19669); assigned Mixed Use Classification, High Intensity future land use and MU-2 (High Intensity, Mixed Use Corridor) zoning. 1992: Original Schrimsher Southwest (later Millenia) DRI development order approved. 1999: Property platted as part of Legacy Point Phase 1. 2006: Master Plan approved for development of a multi-phased medical office & clinic for parcel north of Shingle Creek (MPL2006-00016); replat submitted for Phase III of Nemours medical office & clinic (SUB2006-00035), but replat never recorded (Master Plan expired in 2008). 7/2011: Property acquired by current owner. 6/2015: DRI amendment approved to allow conversion of office uses to hotel, residential and retail uses for Parcels L & M (DRI2015-00004).

Project Context

The property is on the south side of Vineland Rd., between Radebaugh Way and Shingle Creek, and north of Interstate 4. Adja-cent uses, zoning and future land use designations are shown in Table 1 below.

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 LDC 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 property is designated Mixed Use Corridor, High Intensity on the City’s Future Land Use Map and is zoned MU-2 (High Intensity, Mixed Use Corridor). The property is within GMP Subarea Policy S.24.2, which references the property’s location within the Millenia Development of Regional Impact (DRI). Auto dealerships are considered an intensive sales use and are per-mitted in the MU-2 zoning district; location of the site within the Millenia Development of Regional Impact (DRI) requires Mas-ter Plan approval prior to permit submittal.

The site is part of Parcel L within the Millenia DRI. The southern portion of the parcel was previously developed with a 6-story office building and 2-level parking deck (Millenia Park One) in 1999 and the middle portion of the parcel remains vacant. A mas-ter stormwater tract was created when the property was platted in 1999. With 55,000 sq. ft. of proposed auto sales/showroom and a vehicle repair shop, the applicants will need to secure (from the Millenia master developer) a trip and retail area assignment for the proposed car dealership.

Property development standards are pro-vided in Table 2 at right. The proposed Master Plan is consistent with the GMP and Land Development Code.

Transportation

The development site will be accessed from Vineland Rd. via two (2) access points, with the primary access to be lo-cated at the northern intersection of Wal-den Cir. and Vineland Rd. and a secondary access 260 ft. to the south. A third access will ultimately connect to a future phase to the west, to gain access to an existing signal at the south intersection of Walden Cir. and Vineland Rd. Parking for the project is shown in Table 3 at right. The proposed use is adequately parked as proposed.

Urban Design

The proposed showroom building will be 3-stories (30 ft.) tall, with a small portion of the rear canopy closest to I-4 extending up to 10 ft. higher on the building facade. The proposed auto repair building (closer to Vineland Rd.) will be 15-20 ft. tall.

Buffers & Landscaping. The proposed use will abut Vineland Rd. to the north and Interstate 4 to the south, with a retention pond to the northeast and vacant land to the southwest.

Required and proposed buffers and landscaping are provided in Table 4 at right. Per LDC Section 60.222, Figures 8 & 9, no buffer is required other than the minimum required 7.5 ft. vehicular use buff-ers.

Signage. Per LDC Section 64.226, total sign area is based on linear building frontage facing Vineland Rd., as illustrated in Table 5 on the following page. A single monu-ment sign is proposed at the north-eastern entrance from Vineland Rd. While no ground sign designs were provided, it is presumed the style will be similar to other Millenia area building signs and will also be consistent with the Millenia DRI Sign Master Plan.

The proposed building elevations show wall signs on the northeast (visible from I-4), southwest (again, visible from I-4) and northwest (visible from Vineland Rd.). All of the wall signs appear to be located at or below 30 ft. in elevation above adjacent grade. If any of the proposed wall signs is raised to be wholly or mostly above 30 ft. in elevation, then it will be treated as a po-tential high-rise sign. As noted in LDC Section 64.246 (and as noted in Table 5 on the following page), the main vehicle show-room building is entitled to no more than two (2) high-rise signs, with the total size of each sign not to exceed 82.5 sq. ft., per the criteria below:

a) Such signs shall be placed upon the wall or parapet near the top of the principal building and not on any parking garage or other subordinate structure.

b) Such signs may not extend above the roof line of any building except when placed upon a parapet, in which case the sign may not extend above the parapet wall. c) All high rise building identification signs must be on-site signs. If circumstances change, so that a sign is no longer an on- site sign, then the sign is hereby made unlawful and must be removed. d) No more than one-half of the allowable high rise building identification sign allocation may be used on any one side of a building.

All signs must be permitted prior to fabrication and erection of said signs. Signs are subject to Appear-ance Review at time of permitting.

Solid Waste. The site will have a double set of dumpsters within an enclosure, all located on the southwest side of the property. The solid waste site, as shown, meets Code.

School Impacts - The proposed use will be an auto dealership (non-residential), so school concurrency and capacity policies are not applicable to the proposed Master Plan.

Next Steps - Minutes from the December 15, 2015 MPB meeting are scheduled for review and approval by City Council on Mon. January 25, 2016. Building permits may be submitted following the MPB meet-ing but cannot be approved until the City Council approves the December 2015 MPB meeting minutes and the Final Site Plan de-termination has been submitted and ap-proved.

Transportation Planning

1. Bicycle Parking - Per LDC Chapter 61, Part 3D, all developments are required to provide Bicycle Parking spaces for the use of patrons and employees. For this project, two (2) long-term and 11 short-term spaces are required by Code. However, these spaces will primarily serve employees and not customers, so only six (6) total spaces (2 long-term & 4 short-term) will be required and it is recommended that they be provided in an indoor/sheltered location. If placed outdoors, the 4 short-term spaces shall be located near employee entrances but not so as to create conflicts with pedestrians or other vehicles. 2. Parking Design

a. The submitted plan for the platform is 8 ft. too narrow to meet Code with 6 rows of parking stalls. The minimum dimen-sions for parking stalls on the parking platform are 9 ft by 18.5 ft. The minimum width for the 2-way drive aisles is 24 ft. The modules of 2 parking stalls and a 2-way drive aisle is required by Code to be a minimum 61 ft. wide. This value may be reduced to 60 ft by reducing the drive aisle to 23 ft width or reducing the stall depths to 18 ft. Both reductions are not allowed (choose one or the other). All dimensions shall conform to these requirements including the width of the ramp on the east side of the parking platform.

b. The drive aisle for the surface parking on the front of the building shall be a minimum of 23 ft. wide. The parking stalls may be reduced in depth by up to 18 inches if a curb or wheel stops are provided and the landscaped material used in the area immediately adjacent to the parking surface is low growing.

3. Vineland Rd. Left Turn Lane: The developer shall be responsible for restriping the southwest-bound left turn lane on Vineland Rd. prior to beginning construction on the subject parcel. Permits for this restriping shall be obtained from the City Public Works Dept. 4. Emergency Vehicle Access: The area on the northeast side of the parking garage and the southeast side of the showroom shall be maintained as a stabilized driving surface of at least 20 ft. in width to allow for emergency vehicle access to the showroom. The stabilized surface shall also be extend sufficiently to allow for such vehicles to turn around somewhere between the show room and the southeast property line.

5. Solid Waste Collection Access: As planned, the driveways will require solid waste collection vehicles to use the driveway between the parking platform and the service building. The plans indicate that this driveway will be partially covered by the overhang of the parking platform. The clearance height for this overhang shall be a minimum of 14.5 ft to accommodate these trucks. Transportation Engineering The Vineland Rd. left turn lane (southwest-bound) directing traffic into the dealership shall be restriped; it is currently hatched.

Transportation Impact Fees 1. An estimated Transportation Impact Fee in the amount of $377,660, based on the construction of a 55,000 sq. ft. vehicle sales/

showroom and an auto service facility, is due at time of permit issuance. 2. Any exemptions or credits against the Transportation Impact Fee must be reviewed prior to permit issuance. All Transporta-

tion Impact Fee Credits shall be initiated and processed by the Transportation Impact Fee Coordinator. Credit shall be avail-able for the previous use located on the subject site.

3. The applicant shall comply with all applicable requirements of Chapter 59, the Concurrency Management Ordinance, to ensure


that all public facilities and services are available concurrent with the proposed development, and that the potential impacts on public facilities and services are mitigated.

All new construction, changes in use, additions or redevelopment are required to submit a Concurrency Management applica-tion as a part of the building plan review process. A Concurrency Management application is available on the City's website: http://www.cityoforlando.net/permits/forms/concurrency.htm.

Sewer

The utility plan depicts a lift station with a force main connection into an existing force main on the south side of Vineland Rd. The utility plan shall clarify that the proposed lift station shall be private. The force main into which connection is proposed is also private and lies within a private utility easement. A joint sewer use agreement shall be provided prior to connection into the private force main. Discharge into the City's sewer system from proposed carwash and service bays shall be in compliance with Chapter 30, Sewer Use Ordinance of the City Code.

CPTED Review - The Orlando Police Department reviewed the plan for the proposed Millenia Ferrari & Maserati sales site, util-izing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles, which emphasize the proper design and effective use of the built environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. The four (4) overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development are Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening.

1. Natural Surveillance - Design the sites to keep intruders easily observable. This is promoted by features that maximize visibil-ity of people, parking areas and building entrances; doors and windows that look out onto streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and street; and adequate nighttime lighting.

Lighting - A photometric 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 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. o In order to create a sense of safety, pedestrian-scale lighting should be used in any high-pedestrian traffic areas to include building entrances, parking facility entrances, and common 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 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

I N F O R M AT I O N A L C O M M E N T S (C O N T I N U E D )


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 positive in-teraction. 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. • Vehicle and pedestrian entrances should be well lit and defined by landscaping, signage and/or architectural design. • Exterior or non-public doors should contain 180° viewers/peep holes. • Since there is typically no natural surveillance along sheer walls, be sure these areas are well-lit and that lighting is well

maintained. • Where possible, offices, reception areas, lobbies, or host stands should have exterior windows and furniture oriented to

improve 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 where observation in or out of the building will not be obstructed. • 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.

2. Natural Access Control: Design the sites 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, sidewalks, 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 facility 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 any building. • Way-finding signs located throughout the property should help guide users to authorized areas while discouraging potential

offenders. • Signage with hours of operation should be clearly visible at any public entrance. • The use of traffic calming measures as well as surface and gateway treatments 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. • Bollards are a good means for discouraging or controlling access. Use bollard styles that are appropriate for the application;

that is, bollards designed to stop vehicle traffic are a different density and strength than those used to direct pedestrian flow. Bollards can also serve a dual purpose when incorporated with lighting and/or way-finding. They can be used in key loca-tions around the property to protect pedestrians, life-safety elements, critical utilities and control or direct traffic.

3. 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 features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments and CPTED open design (see- through) fences.

• The property should be designed to encourage interaction between users. • The address should be clearly visible from the roadway and parking areas with numbers a minimum of five-inches high

made of non-reflective material. • Fencing can add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive, and create a sense

of community. CPTED style open design is a good option to consider. These fences may contain vehicle and/or pedestrian access points that utilize mechanical access control for the property. 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 fur-ther 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.



4. Target Hardening: This is accomplished by incorporating features that prohibit entry or access such as window locks, single-cylinder dead bolts for doors and interior door hinges.

• 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. • If an alarm or security system is installed, it should be regularly tested and maintained. During working hours, commercial

alarm systems should be programmed so that a short beep sounds if an exterior door opens. • A video surveillance system capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and apprehen-

sion should be used throughout this project. Cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identifi-cation ("aiming" down from steep angles often results in images of the offender's hat). Cameras 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 and should contain 180° view-ers/peepholes or small windows with security glass. Internal business policy should prohibit the "propping open" of exte-rior doors.

• Large glass doors and windows should be made of impact resistant glass or a security film to reduce the opportunity for burglaries. 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.

• Any windows that open should have locks.

Additional precautions, such as silent alarms, hold-up alarms, retail training and Business Watch, should be discussed with OPD's Crime Prevention Unit Officer Joseph Lundy, 407.246.2095.

5. 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 dark-ness.

• 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 access; 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 construc tion 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 Joseph Lundy , at 407.246.2095.

6. 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 monitor-ing 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.
