Applicant/Owner: Eric Robart/Astronaut Properties, LLC Submitting Department: Community Development(CD) Summary: This item consists of a Level 1 application for the proposed renovation of the building located at 8600 Astronaut Boulevard. The site consists of 5.5 acres and is zoned C-1. At its April 20,2016 meeting,the Community Appearance Board approved a Level 1 application for a Port of Call building (hotel, office, retail) on this property. However, the developer has decided to renovate the building as an office use and is therefore proposing a redesign of the approved building. As a result, the CAB is being asked to review the attached application and associated materials related to the renovation of the 63,000 square foot building. This property is the subject of a Development Agreement (DA), which was approved on July 29, 2014. The DA established certain milestones to be met by the developer regarding the construction of the project,to include that within 24 months of the effective date(July 29,2016) that CAB approval, as well as site plan approval was required. Both of these deadlines have been met. However, as indicated above, the developer has decided to redesign the building to accommodate a large office use. This will include a redesign of the exterior of the building, which necessitates a new review by the CAB. Sec. 22-42 (c) of the Code establishes certain criteria that the CAB must consider when evaluating an application. In general, the criteria are to gauge whether a project is in harmony and consistent with the surrounding natural and built environment. Sec. 22-42 of the Code includes the specific standards that must be considered. They include: • The plans and specifications of the proposed project indicate that the setting, landscaping, ground cover, proportions,materials, colors,texture, scale, unity,balance, rhythm, contrast and simplicity are coordinated in a harmonious manner relevant to the particular proposal, surrounding area and cultural character of the community. • The plans for the proposed building or structure are in harmony with any future development which has been formally approved by the city within the surrounding area. • The plans for the proposed building or structure are not excessively similar or dissimilar to any other building or structure which is either fully constructed, permitted but not fully constructed,or included on the same permit application,and facing upon the same or intersecting street within 500 feet of the proposed site,with respect to one or more of the following features of exterior design and appearance: • Front or side elevations; • Size and arrangement of elevation facing the street, including reverse arrangements;or • Other significant features of design such as, but are not limited to: materials, roof line and height or design elements. Community Appearance Board Meeting Date: 12/07/2016 Item No. Page 2 of 4 • The plans for the proposed building or structure are in harmony with the established character of other buildings or structures in the surrounding area with respect to architectural specifications and design features deemed significant based upon commonly accepted architectural principles of the local community. • The proposed development of the building or structure is consistent and compatible with the intent and purpose of this article, the Comprehensive Plan for Cape Canaveral, and other applicable federal, state of local laws. • Within the C-1, C-2 and M-1 zoning districts, any exterior building or roof color used shall be well designed and integrated with the architectural style of the building and surrounding landscaping in order to create a subtle and harmonious effect and promote aesthetic uniformity within the district.
