Recommendation to City Council Re: Proposed Ordinance No. 11-2012 - Adoption of the
A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District.
Barry Brown stated that the Board was here tonight to review and make recommendation on the
A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD). He explained that last year it was
determined that the City would create an Overlay District for a specific area that encompassed
the North part of A1A and parts of Central Blvd. The Overlay District is intended to spur
economic development and job creation; support quality development; remove barriers to
preferred types of development; maximize development potential and taxable value of
properties in the district; increase potential for the types of services and uses that the residents
desire as expressed in community surveys and the Community Visioning; accommodate mixed
use development, such as a town center project; create a sense of place and identity for the
area; create architectural design standards; create an area that is more pedestrian and bicycle
friendly; and that would implement the objectives of the Community Visioning, as well as
support the objectives of the coming SR Al Multimodal Plan.
Barry Brown explained that in an effort to accomplish these things, Staff created the EOOD,
which includes: architectural design standards; allows for increased building heights; increases
of the number of hotel units per acre; revises building setbacks; enhances landscaping; and
attempts to make the EOOD area more inclusive rather than exclusive by adding new uses and
providing for a process to approve Planned Developments.
Barry Brown advised that Staff distributed a copy of the proposed EOOD, dated May 18, 2012,
to the Board members last Friday. Subsequently, Staff has made revisions. Additionally, Staff
has provided the Board members a draft process for to adopt a Planned Development (PD),
which follows the process that already exists in the Code for a Residential Planned Unit
Development (RPUD). Andre Anderson, Planning Design Group, presented the revisions.
