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).

Specifically, the 160 goals ofthe E(]{}0are: Cape Canaveral EOOD DRAFT (6/01/2012) Planning Design Group Page 1 5 161 (1) To create attractive, functional, and lasting buildings and places. 162 (2) To encourage the design, construction and operation of buildings and places that are 163 environmentally responsible, sustainable and healthy places to live, work, and play. 164 (3) To promote development and redevelopment that preserves and enhances the physical 165 appearance of the corridor and contributes to the District's unique sense of place. 166 (4) To encourage the use of quality materials in development and redevelopment. 167 (5) To encourage development that adds to a pedestrian friendly retail environment and 168 contributes to the safety and comfort of both pedestrian and automobile traffic. 169 (6) To provide direction in site planning and to ensure a high degree of design quality in 170 development within the Al A EOOD through the use of Design Guidelines and Standards. 171 (7) To enhance and protect the commercial corridors and primary entrances into the City of 172 Cape Canaveral. 173 Sec. 110-590. -Objectives. 174 (1) The design guidelines and standards are intended to address the built environment within 175 the City of Cape Canaveral and to recognize aesthetic design as an integral part of the 176 planning and development process. 177 (2) The guidelines and standards are intended to ensure that the appearance of new 178 development, infill development, and redevelopment is representative of the City of Cape 179 Canaveral's Community Vision. 180 (3) The guidelines and standards will enable development to occur in a manner that is not 181 only beneficial and worthwhile for the developers and property owners, but the 182 development will also have a positive impact on the surrounding properties, 183 neighborhoods, citizens, and the entire city. 184 Sec. 110-591. - Design principles. 185 The A 1 A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) is based upon a set of design principles. 186 These principles are: 187 (1) Consistency: The Al A Commercial corridor features a mixture of development types 188 including office buildings, hotels and convention facilities, strip -commercial centers, 189 neighborhood -serving retail, nighttime entertainment uses, attractions, and restaurants. 190 Design of these structures has been influenced by use, age, and site dimensions. Within the 191 context of these constraints, developments can achieve the principle of consistency through 192 selection of colors, exterior surface materials, scale, rhythm, proportions, landscaping and 193 sign programs. 194 (2) Activity: Active street life, which can be enhanced by design considerations, is a major 195 component of thriving pedestrian commercial districts. There are many opportunities to 196 insert options for increased street -level pedestrian activity along AIA. Through building 197 orientation, circulation, storefront design and landscaping, development can further 198 promote the principle of safe pedestrian activity. 199 (3) Pedestrian Orientation: Pedestrian orientation can be achieved through storefront 200 ornamentation, reduction of blank surfaces, building articulation, proportion, rhythm, color, 201 and texture. Guidelines and Standards based upon this principle address wall surfaces, 202 windows, awnings, signage, and architectural treatments. 203 (4) Safety: Public safety is critical to the success of a commercial district. Public safety in this 204 case refers not only to safety from criminal activity, but also creating an environment in 205 which pedestrian and automobile traffic can safely coexist. The design and development 206 of commercial centers and the public open space adjacent to them shall include Cape Canaveral EOOD DRAFT (6/01/2012) Planning Design Group Page 1 6 207 considerations of public safety. Public safety issues can be addressed through she 208 planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and 209 landscaping. 210 (5) 5 Design Guidelines and Standards for the Al/4 Economic Opportunity Overlay 211 District shall provide for public convenience by clearly identifying the nature of the 212 business and communicating points of ingress and egress for pedestrian and automobile 213 traffic. These issues can be addressed through architectural treatments as well as through 214 site planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and 215 landscaping. 216 Sec. 1lU~592.-Definitions. 217 | The following words and phrases, whenever used in thi�s6o|| be construed as 218 defined in this section.
