PR O JE CT AN A LYS IS Project Description

The Orlando Corporate Centre Development of Regional Impact (DRI), originally approved on October 27, 1987, is generally lo-

cated north of LeeVista Boulevard, west of Narcoossee Road, south of Hoffner Avenue and east of Semoran Boulevard and is ap-

proximately 510 acres in size. Since its original approval, there has been eight (8) amendments to this DRI.

Previous Amendments:

1. October 27, 1987—The Orlando Corporate Centre DRI Development Order approved.

2. June 15, 1995—The First Amendment.

3. May 19, 1997—An Amended and Restated Development Order (Second Amendment).

4. March 15, 1999—A Second Amended and Restated Development Order (Third Amendment).

5. March 19, 2001—A Third Amended and Restated Development Order (Fourth Amendment).

6. April 14, 2003—A Fourth Amended and Restated Development Order (Fifth Amendment).

7. June 21, 2004—A Fifth Amended and Restated Development Order (Sixth Amendment).

8. November 2, 2009—A Sixth Amended and Restated Development Order (Seventh Amendment).

9. April 9, 2012—A Seventh Amended and Restated Development Order (Eighth Amendment).

On October 15, 2013 the Municipal Planning Board approved a GMP amendment to change the future land use designation from

Industrial to Office Low Intensity on Parcels 3A and 3C within the Orlando Corporate Centre DRI (Case #GMP2013-00019). The

property is approximately 19.57 acres and is currently designated as “Office” on Map H. The developer intends to develop this prop-

erty as multi-family residential and/or office uses. A condition of approval to this GMP amendment requires a DRI and PD amend-

ment to reflect the change to allow for multi-family residential.

In response to this condition and to add the ability to locate multi-family residential on additional parcels within the DRI, the appli-

cant is requesting the following:

1. A Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) to the Seventh Amended and Restated Development Order for the Orlando Corporate

Centre DRI to change the following: • Include 759 additional multi-family units and simultaneously reduce 385,337 square feet of office uses in accordance to the

approved Trip Equivalency Matrix. • Divide Tract 13 into two separate tracts, Tract 13A and 13B.

• Add multi-family as an allowable use in Tracts 3A , 3C and 13B.

• Revise the Phase and build-out dates to incorporate extensions under 2009, 2010, and 2011 State legislation.

• Extend Phase 2 only by an additional 4 years to allow completion of development allowed within the Phase 2 trip threshold

prior to initiating a new transportation monitoring and modeling study. • Update certain DRI conditions to reflect completions of obligations and remove redundant provisions in the Development

Order.

2. A GMP amendment to change the future land use designation from Industrial to Office Low Intensity for a 17.23 acre property

within the DRI located east of S. Goldenrod Road, south of Marketplace Drive, north of LeeVista Boulevard, and west of Nar-

coossee Road.

3. A PD amendment to change the following: • Include 759 additional multi-family units and simultaneously reduce 385,337 square feet of office uses in accordance to the

approved Trip Equivalency Matrix. • Add multi-family as an allowable use in Tracts 3A and 3C.

• Divide Tract 13 into two separate tracts, Tract 13A and 13B. Also add multi-family as an allowable use in Tract 13B.

DRI Analysis

The applicant is requesting to amend this development program to depict the conversion of 385,337 square feet of office to 759

dwelling units by using the trip equivalency matrix, Exhibit “D” provided in the current DRI Development Order. According to Sec-

tion 24.3 of the Seventh Amended and Restated Development Order:

“Basic Project Size. 1,040 multi-family units, 854,000 gross square feet of office, 513,000 gross square feet of com-

mercial, and 853,010 gross square feet of business park.

For purposes of allowing the Developer to exchange land uses within the development and determining simultane-

ous increases and decreases in multi-family, retail, business park and commercial land uses that do not result in an

overall increase in project impacts, the Developer has prepared a Transportation/Trip Equivalency Matrix, dated

April 18, 1997, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “D”….”


DRI AN A LY S IS The chart below depicts the currently approved development program for the DRI:

The following is Exhibit “D” which the applicant uses to convert 385,337 square feet of office to 759 dwelling units:

In using the equivalency matrix, the new land use allocation is depicted below with this conversion of office uses to residential units:

Substantial Deviation Criteria (FL Statutes Chapter 380.06 Section 19) Any proposed change to a previously approved development, which creates a reasonable likelihood of additional regional impact

shall constitute a substantial deviation. A change to a previously approved DRI or development order condition which exceeds the

criteria set forth in Florida Statutes Chapter 380 shall constitute a substantial deviation and shall cause the development to be subject

to further impact review. In terms of the residential and the office component, FL Statutes Chapter 380.06 (19) states:

“Any proposed change to a previously approved development of regional impact or development order condition

which, either individually or cumulatively with other changes, exceeds any of the following criteria shall constitute a

substantial deviation and shall cause the development to be subject to further development-of-regional-impact re-

view without the necessity for a finding of same by the local government:

An increase in land area for office development by 15 percent or an increase of gross floor area of office develop-

ment by 15 percent or 100,000 gross square feet, whichever is greater.

An increase in the number of dwelling units by 10 percent or 55 dwelling units, whichever is greater.”

Since the applicant is proposing a simultaneous increase in the number of dwelling units and decrease in the number of office square

footage through the use of the Equivalency Matrix, there is not an increase in regional impacts. Therefore, this proposed change will

not constitute a substantial deviation.

Extension of DRI Build-out Dates

Chapter 380.06(19)(c), Florida Statues has a provision within it regarding the extension of DRI build-out dates. It states:

“An extension of the date of buildout of a development, or any phase thereof, by more than 7 years is presumed to

create a substantial deviation subject to further development-of-regional-impact review. An extension of the date of

buildout, or any phase thereof, of more than 5 years but not more than 7 years is presumed not to create a substan-

tial deviation.”

DRI AN A LY S IS Therefore, a DRI could extend the build out dates and depending on the number of years, it would constitute a substantial deviation

or a Notice of Proposed Change. However, in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Florida Legislature passed legislation as it relates to Devel-

opment of Regional Impacts and extending build-out dates due to the real estate market conditions of 2007 and 2011. These provi-

sions extended active DRIs regardless of previous extensions and were not subject to review. The master developer first updated the

build out dates with the Sixth Amended and Restated Development Order which was approved by City Council on November 2,

2009. The phasing build out in 2009 is as follows:

In 2011, the master developer notified City Planning it would take advantage of 2 separate development order extension opportuni-

ties, HB 7207 and Executive Order #11-128. As per Chapter 380.06(19)(c), Florida Statues, it stated: “The developer must notify the

local government in writing by December 31, 2011, in order to receive the 4-year extension.” City Planning received this letter from

the master developer on November 2, 2011 to extend Phases 3-5. The chart below depicts the extension provisions at that time:

This proposed DRI amendment would like to include the extension of Phase 2, which was not included in the 2011 extension provi-

sion. Phase 2 current build out date is November 30, 2010. This date has passed and Phase 2 still has approximately 5,262 remain-

ing trips before entering into Phase 3, therefore this amendment is needed. The applicant is requesting to extend the Phase 2 build

out date to November 30, 2015. The applicant is also proposing a 1-year extension of Phase 3 to 5. Per Chapter 380.06(19)(c), Flor-

ida Statues, these extensions will not create a substantial deviation. The chart below depicts the proposed phase extension dates:

Modify Map H-Development Plan

The applicant is proposing to make several changes to the Map H Development Plan. The proposed map changes will change the

land use of Parcels 3A and 3C by adding the “Multi-family” designation to the existing “Office” designation. It also splits Parcel 13

into two different parcels, 13A and 13B. Parcel 13A will continue to have the “Office” designation, but Parcel 13B will designated

as “Office/Multi-family”. The additional 759 multi-family units requested will be allocated to Parcels 3A, 3C and 13B. The existing

and proposed Map H can be found on pages 12 and 13 of this report.

Overall Update of DRI Development Order

The applicant has provided an underline/strikethrough copy of the proposed Eighth Amended and Restated Development Order.

This revised the development order updates various conditions to reflect the completion of certain obligations and it also deletes re-

dundant provisions within the document.

DRI AN A LY S IS Status of Orlando Corporate Center DRI The City’s Transportation Planning staff have been tracking the development of the Orlando Corporate Centre DRI and the number

of trips used to determine when various phases are complete or nearing completion. The chart below gives a status update of what

has been developed and the number of trips remaining within the current Phase 2.

There is currently an additional project, the Goldenrod Charter School on Parcel 9, that has been submitted for Permitting. This

project, which is planned for 1,240 students, will generate approximately 2,480 trips. With this development, there will be 2,782

trips remaining in Phase II. Either multi-family development proposed for Parcel 3A & 3C or Parcel 13B will use a majority of these

remaining trips. Any other project after one of the multi-family developments will push the DRI into Phase III.

GMP AN A LY S IS Project Description

The second request of this application is a GMP amendment to change the future land use designation from Industrial to Office Low

Intensity for a subject site that is generally located east of S. Goldenrod Road, south of Marketplace Drive, north of LeeVista Boule-

vard, and west of Narcoossee Road. and is approximately 17.23 acres. The site is currently designated Industrial on the Official Fu-

ture Land Use Map and is zoned PD/AN. The site is within the Orlando Corporate Centre Development of Regional Impact (DRI

Parcel 13) and PD. It is currently designated as “Office” on the DRI Map H. Within the DRI analysis section of this report, it is

requested to designate this property as “Office/Multi-family”. This proposed GMP amendment will change the future land use des-

ignation from Industrial to Office Low Intensity to allow for a multi-family residential development based on trip equivalency.

Project Context and Land Use Compatibility Surrounding future land use designations and existing uses are shown in the table below. The proposed residential and office devel-

opment would be compatible with the surrounding uses. An adequate landscaping buffer on the northern portion would be required.

This buffer shall meet the requirements of the Land Development Code.

Consistency with 163, Florida Statutes

The proposed GMP amendment is being processed as a large scale amendment to the Official Future Land Use Map in accordance

with the requirements of Chapter 163.3184(3), Florida Statutes. As provided in Chapter 163, large scale amendments require two

public hearings before City Council and are subject to an expedited state review process by the State Department of Economic Op-

portunity—Division of Community Planning and other regional agencies.

Conformance with the GMP

Objective 2.3 and Policy 2.3.1 of the Future Land Use Element provide standards relating to development outside of activity centers

and mixed-use corridors. Policy 2.3.1 states:

“Standards for land use categories outside of activity centers and mixed-use corridors shall be shown in Figure LU-1. The den-

sities and intensities established in Figure LU-1 for land use categories outside of activity centers and mixed use corridors shall

not be altered except by amendment of this Growth Management Plan. The intensity of use allowed on land outside of activity

centers and mixed use corridors shall be based on:

a) Appropriate topography, soil conditions, and the availability of facilities and services; redevelopment and renewal of

blighted areas; elimination or reduction of uses inconsistent with the community’s character and future land uses; protec-

tion of natural resources and historic resources; and discouragement of urban sprawl;

b) Compatibility with existing development in the area; and

c) The public services and facilities which exist or are available to the location, based upon the policies of the Capital Im-

provement Element and the City’s Concurrency Management System.”

Environmental

Conservation Element Policy 1.4.1 states that all projects requiring Municipal Planning Board and City Council review shall provide

an Environmental Assessment. Developments exempt from this requirement includes those located within the “Urbanized Disturbed

Lands” are shown in Figure C-1 of the Conservation Element. According to Figure C-1 of the Conservation Element, the subject

property lies outside the Urbanized Disturbed Land area. A Level “A” Environmental Assessment was required for this analysis.

The subject property is adjacent to a wetland which is located to the south of the subject site. This property south of the subject site

is designated as “Wetland” on the DRI Map H Development Plan and is designated as “Conservation” on the Official Future Land

Use Map. Based upon field observations, aerial photographs and the boundary survey, no environmentally sensitive lands are identi-

fied on the subject property.

GMP AN A LY S IS Public Facilities Analysis State law requires the City to perform a public facilities evaluation for GMP amendments that would increase the allowable density

or intensity of a property. The proposed GMP amendment to change the future land use designation to Office Low Intensity would

permit densities on the subject property more than that permitted under the existing Industrial future land use designation. This

evaluation assumes that the property is developed at the maximum intensity and density allowed by each future land use category.

Typically, sites are developed at a lesser intensity, so these impacts represent an upper limit, rather than a true projection of demand.

Each year, the City prepares the Capacity Availability Report (CAR) to identify any surpluses or deficiencies in the ability to provide

public services. The CAR also accounts for future population and employment growth consistent with the City’s adopted future land

use categories. Because the growth associated with this GMP amendment was not included in the growth projections, this analysis is

performed to ensure capacity is available to serve the development.

Projected Demand

Evaluation 1— This evaluation considered the impact of developing the site at the maximum density/intensity permitted by the exist-

ing Industrial future land use designation (17.23 acres @ 0 du/ac = 0 du and 17.23 acres @0.70 FAR = 525,377 sq. ft.).

Evaluation 2— This evaluation considered the impact of developing the site at the maximum density/intensity permitted by the pro-

posed Office Low Intensity future land use designation (17.23 acres @ 21 du/ac = 362 du and 17.23 acres @ 0.40 FAR = 300,216 sq.

ft.).

Net Increase/Decrease—The net increase of residential development capacity is 362 dwelling units and the net decrease of non-

residential development capacity is 225,161 square feet. The amount of development included in the evaluations above translates to

a total project demand for public facilities shown in the table below. Details about how the above impacts were calculated are avail-

able in the City’s Capacity Availability Report.

Potable Water, Wastewater and Parks

The table on the next page summarizes available capacity, existing demand, projected increases in demand from city-wide growth,

projected increases in supply (such as from construction of a new facility) and the maximum demand expected from this GMP

amendment. The proposed amendment will not adversely impact the level of service for potable water and wastewater.

GMP Future Land Use Policy 4.1.14 requires residential development to provide at least 0.003 acres of community parks, 0.0017

acres of neighborhood parks, and 0.0027 acres of other open space per unit.

GMP AN A LY S IS The proposed project will not create demand for Community Park 4. Community Park 4 has a surplus capacity of 97.62 acres. On

the other hand, Neighborhood Parks NPSA 18 has an existing deficit of 6.27 acres. The current capacity for this neighborhood park

is 0 acres. The reported demand of 7.17 acres, greatly exceeds the existing capacity.

According to the Capacity Availability Report, in the past, the City was able to utilize the recreational amenities associated with

McCoy Elementary School through a Joint Use Agreement (JUA). However, because of the rebuilding of the school and the subse-

quent reconfiguration of the recreational amenities including lack of physical accessibility, the City has found that operating recrea-

tional programs at this location is problematic. Because the previous JUA is no longer in place, the City can no longer count the

school’s recreational amenities in our neighborhood park LOS calculations. The City may address this deficit in a variety of ways,

such as renewing the JUA with OCPS, or add a 5-7 acre neighborhood park in the Capital Improvements Program budget. In the

short term, the City is using Recreation Policy 1.1.3 to borrow capacity by combining NPSA 18 with NPSA 17, which is registering

a surplus of 33.93 acres.

The applicant is proposing a multi-family development and will be required to include acceptable levels of private activity-based

recreational amenities and open space for that development. However, with the increase of residential units and the number of units

in the overall DRI, the Families, Parks and Recreation Department (FPR) is requiring park acreage to compensate for the proposed

new units proportionate share of the 7 acre deficit. According to FPR’s analysis, based on the planned 759 housing units, a mini-

mum of 1.14 acres (0.0015 acres/housing unit x 759 units) of neighborhood park land must be allocated. Multi-family open space

and recreational amenities can count toward this allocation.

Stormwater and Solid Waste

The City’s adopted stormwater level of service standards require new development to provide on-site stormwater retention and/or

detention consistent with the requirements of the Water Management District. Therefore, each increment of new development, if

properly permitted, will meet the stormwater level of service standard. Solid Waste collection is funded by user fees, therefore any

new customers generate revenues sufficient to fund any capital costs. Therefore, a solid waste capacity analysis was not performed.

Transportation

The City has adopted a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) citywide. Therefore, the City requires projects to sup-

port the multi-modal transportation system. This project supports options for multi-modal transportation with its bike lanes along

LeeVista Boulevard to the south and S. Goldenrod Road to the west. Lynx bus service currently does not directly serve the subject

property. There are also several bus stops along Hoffner Avenue and S. Goldenrod Road just north of Hoffner Avenue. These bus

stops are approximately 3/4 of mile to a mile from the subject property.

The subject property is located in 2030 Transportation Analysis Zone 876, Transportation Area 14, and Transportation Mobility Area

C. Projects generating 1,000 trips or more per day are required to submit a transportation study and mitigate for impacts to the road-

way network. However, this project is within the Orlando Corporate Centre DRI. The DRI Development Order outlines various

transportation mitigations required to be met by the master developer for transportation impacts. This project is currently within

Phase 2 of the development. The total average daily trips approved in the DRI is 83,801. There are 41,900 trips allocated through

Phase 2. To date, 36,638 trips have been used for all existing development. There are 5,262 trips remaining in Phase 2 of the DRI.

According to Transportation Planning’s analysis of average daily trips generated for the maximum multi-family development on the

subject site (350 du), approximately 2,037 trips will be generated. That would leave approximately 3,225 trips remaining in Phase

2. Since this project and potentially another project will trigger the DRI into Phase 3, prior to the initiation of Phase 3 (and for each

subsequent phase), a monitoring/modeling program shall be performed to determine the levels of service on facilities where the DRI

project traffic is estimated to contribute more than 10% of the level of service (LOS) “C” service volume. The City will not issue a

building permit for a project that would trigger Phase 3 until the monitoring/modeling requirement is addressed.

Capital Improvement Program

The City has no Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects that directly affect the subject site.

School Capacity

Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) has two school review processes. The Capacity Enhancement Process (CEP) applies to land

use approvals, including GMP amendments, that increase residential density. The concurrency process applies to all residential de-

velopment that is not de minimis or previously vested through a DRI Development Order or other agreement. All of the vested units

in the Orlando Corporate Centre have been used.


GMP AN A LY S IS As stated earlier in the report, the Municipal Planning Board approved a GMP amendment to change the future land use designation

from Industrial to Office Low Intensity on Parcels 3A and 3C within the Orlando Corporate Centre DRI. That amendment requested

409 dwelling units. The current DRI amendment request an additional 759 dwelling units within the entire Orlando Corporate Cen-

tre DRI, which includes the 409 units for Parcels 3A and 3C and the 350 units for Parcel 13. Therefore a school analysis has been

performed to determine school capacity for all of the additional 759 dwelling units requested for the DRI.

According to the chart below, as of October 15, 2013, there is capacity at Vista Lakes Elementary School and Lake Nona High

School, however, Lake Nona Middle School exceeds the LOS Standard by 15.9%. According to OCPS, the project is subject to Ca-

pacity Enhancement and School Concurrency. The applicant has submitted an application for capacity review to OCPS.

Some of the Orlando Corporate Centre DRI conditions and exhibits are incorporated into the Orlando Corporate Centre PD. There-

fore, the PD will need to be updated as well. The applicant is requesting, that as in the DRI, the PD to be amended to reflect the de-

velopment program to depict the conversion of 385,337 square feet of office to 759 dwelling units by using the trip equivalency ma-

trix, Exhibit “C” of the DRI. This will also change the land use of Parcels 3A and 3C by adding the “Multi-family” designation to

the existing “Office” designation. It also splits Parcel 13 into two different parcels, 13A and 13B. Parcel 13A will continue to have

the “Office” designation, but Parcel 13B will designated as “Office/Multi-family”. The additional 759 multi-family units requested

will be allocated to Parcels 3A, 3C and 13B.

Multi-family Residential Design Standards

The applicant is proposing multi-family residential , however the PD does not have design criteria for residential development. The

purpose of these design criteria is to create a sense of place, establish a public and private realm, improve walkability, reduce the

dominance of the automobile, and integrate larger projects into a neighborhood scale. These design criteria apply to large-scale

multi-family projects with surface parking. The Multi-family Design Criteria Planning Official Determination (Case #LDC2014-

00034) depicts the following design criteria which can be applied during master plan review, unless the applicant proposes an appro-

Building Design

1. Transparency - To provide greater visibility from the interior of a building to the exterior of a site so that residents may be

more aware of outside activities thereby reducing opportunities for crime and to improve natural surveillance, transparency

is required for all buildings. a. A minimum of 15% of all facades on all floors of a residential building shall be transparent.

b. A minimum of 30% of all façades facing a multifamily circulator on all floors of a clubhouse, leasing office, fitness

center or other active non-residential building shall be transparent.

c. Glass panels located in doors shall be included in calculating transparency. Clear glass (minimum of 80% light trans-

mission) or a low-E glass of at least 57% light transmittance shall be used to meet this requirement. Mirrored or reflec-

tive glass is prohibited.

2. Façades that face a multifamily circulator, park or open space shall be articulated with features including porches, bay win-

dows and/or balconies.

3. Private entrances to individual units are encouraged to increase the natural surveillance at the ground level.

4. Garages with frontage on a multifamily circulator shall include a second story containing one or more apartment units. Such

buildings shall be designed to look like the front of a building, even if the garage door is accessed from the rear. Garages

shall occupy less than 35% of the frontage on multifamily circulators.

5. Garage doors should be oriented away from multifamily circulators. If visible from the multifamily circulator additional

architectural treatment is required and may include features such as a trellis, transparency or recessed doors.

6. Accessory Buildings: Architectural elevations of the clubhouse, mail kiosk, and trash compactor shall be compatible and

consistent with those of the residential buildings, and shall be expressed with like finishes, forms, materials, and colors. A

base, middle, and top shall be expressed, with materials finished and wrapped on all facades. Primary pedestrian entries of

the clubhouse shall be clearly expressed and be recessed or framed by a sheltering element.
