CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL PLANNING AND ZONING (P&Z) BOARD August 24, 2022REGULAR MEETING · ITEM # Subject: Recommendation for Site Plan Approval for a drive-thru accessory carwash located at the Marathon Gas Station located at 8101 Astronaut Boulevard on Parcel #24-37-23-00-255. Summary:This request is for Site Plan Approval for a proposed accessory car wash structure located atthe Marathon Gas Station at 8101 Astronaut Boulevard on Parcel #24-37-23-00-255 (Attachment 1). The parcel is within the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (District) and is zoned C-1. A car wash is a permitted use in this zoning district. The application (Attachment 2) includes a site plan showing an 851 square foot accessory car wash on a .88-acre parcel. The parcel contains an existing Marathon gas station. The existing ice vending building will be removed as part of this project. The proposed structure is 15 feet in height and includes a single-lane drive-thru. The proposed structure meets all of the dimensional requirements of the C-1 and A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay districts (page C-2.0 of Attachment 3). The project area is located in Flood Zone X, which indicates that the area is outside the 100-year flood zone. There are no jurisdictional wetlands within the project area. Maximum impervious area allowed in the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District shall not exceed 80 percent. The project, as designed, will not increase the impervious surface of the parcel. As required by Section 110-221(1) of the City Code, any new commercial development must submit an application for Site Plan Approval and be approved prior to its construction. Section 110-223 establishes the process that must be followed. In general, the application is first reviewed by the various City review departments to determine its consistency with applicable rules and regulations. The application is then considered by the Planning and Zoning Board (Board), and a recommendation is forwarded to the Community and Economic Development Director for a final decision. Section 110-222 of the City Code establishes criteria that must be addressed by the Site Plan Application package. Attached is a Site Plan Checklist (see Attachment 2) that inventories the application’s consistency with the submittal requirements. Sections 110-567 and 110-686 and 687 of the City Code establishes landscaping requirements that the project is required to meet. In this particular case, the project is limited to the addition of an accessory structure, so certain standards will not be required. The landscaping plan included in the site plan set (pages L-1 & 2 of Attachment 3) proposes drought tolerant species as defined by the St. Johns River Water Management District, and is consistent with applicable standards. As the project is limited to the construction of an accessory drive-thru car wash, no parking spaces will be required above those that already exist on the site. Due to the nature of the project, a traffic analysis for the project was not required. Plans indicate that vehicular circulation will include a south-to-north movement. City of Cape Canaveral P&Z Board Regular Meeting · August 24, 2022 Agenda Item # Page 2 of 2 As the property is located within the EOOD, the project is required to meet certain architectural/site design guidelines applicable to development within this area. However, due to the nature and scope of the project, these standards will not be applied. Water is provided by the City of Cocoa and the City of Cape Canaveral is the wastewater provider as indicated on page C-3.0 of the site plan set. Stormwater will be treated via the parcel’s existing stormwater system. Note that City Code requires that the proposed car wash use a water recirculating system which recycles at least 50 percent of wash and rinse water (see Sec. 110-461 (c)). As required by Section 110-606, the Community Appearance Board (CAB) will convene to consider the proposal prior to the issuance of a City Building Permit. Should an action of the CAB require a revision to the site plan approval, a modification will be presented to the Board. On June 14, 2022, the City Engineer issued review comments regarding the submitted site plan set. th Materials were received from MDM Services, Inc. on July 12in response. On July 13, 2022, the City Engineer approved the application as amended. Attachment: 1 - Aerial 2 - Site Plan Application 3 - Site Plan Set Community and Economic Development Staff recommend the Board take the following action: Recommend approval of the Site Plan for the Hyatt Place Hotel located at 9009 Astronaut Boulevard.

In Summer 2021, the City engaged the planning and design firm Kimley-Horn to develop, research and draft the desired Plan. Background: The Study Area of the Plan is approximately 256 acres including approximately 13.16 miles of roadway extending from SR A1A eastward to the dune line and from Washington Avenue southward to Grant Avenue. The Study Area has a population of 2,836, which is approximately 28 percent of the City’s total population. It also includes 1,674 households with an average household size of 1.69 and a median age of 54.3 years old. The majority of housing in the Study Area is rental (58.7) verses owned (41.3%). The vision for the Plan is to ultimately create a Study Area-specific destination that includes the concept of Complete Streets, improved stormwater management, safer pedestrian access, more efficient traffic management, and enhanced resilience against climate-related hazards such as extreme flooding and heat waves. The key elements of the Plan supporting this vision include the following: o Strong sense of place o Equitable, environmentally sustainable community o Connected, efficient multi-modal transportation This Plan builds upon local momentum to implement several initiatives and projects between now and 2035 that involve improving the overall sustainability and resilience of the City’s existing infrastructure codified by past City documents such as the 2021 Resiliency Action Plan, 2019 Vulnerability Assessment, 2017 Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Master Plan and the 2012 Community Redevelopment Plan. The project’s intent is to create a framework that identifies planning recommendations that can be implemented and constructed as funds become available for capital improvements and as opportunities arise within the market for investment and redevelopment. This Plan is also intended to create a design concept framework for future above ground improvements in the Presidential Streets such as rain gardens, bicycle-related infrastructure, solar-powered street lighting, etc.; and only addresses underground improvements to stormwater and utilities systems in conjunction with the streetscape improvements. City of Cape Canaveral P&Z Board Regular Meeting · August 24, 2022 Agenda Item # Page 2 of 3 Community Engagement: Throughout the research and planning phase of the project, there was significant community member and stakeholder engagement that informed the formation of the recommendations and strategies outlined in the Plan. The engagement process included two community workshops and an online MetroQuest survey. In addition, a subsequent SurveyMonkey survey was virtually distributed allowing interested community members to provide additional feedback following the second community workshop. The MetroQuest survey was open from January 3, 2022 to March 11, 2022, allowing seven and a half weeks before the first community workshop and two and half weeks after the first community workshop (a total of 10 weeks) for community members to participate and provide valuable input. The first community workshop was held on February 23, 2022 at the Cape Canaveral Public Library. The second community workshop was held on May 10, 2022 at Cape Canaveral City Hall. The SurveyMonkey survey was open for one week between May 23, 2022 and May 31, 2022. Overall, respondents prioritized flooding/stormwater and safety and the two biggest concerns within the Study Area. Recommendations: Recommendations are centered on addressing the three key elements of the Plan mentioned above: o Strong sense of place Great Streets Great, Connected Public Spaces Great Places to Live o Equitable, environmentally sustainable community Create an Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Model Update Built Environment for Resiliency Update Stormwater Management Facilities to Reduce Flooding Create an Accessible Environment for All Users o Connected, efficient multi-modal transportation Create a Safe, Convenient Place for all Modes of Transportation A Framework Plan Toolkit is provided that includes specific improvements that can be utilized to accomplish the three Plan goals, including: 1.Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvements 2.Roadway Improvements 3.Intersection and Crossing Improvements 4.Placemaking Design Improvements 5.Traffic Calming Tools City of Cape Canaveral P&Z Board Regular Meeting · August 24, 2022 Agenda Item # Page 3 of 3 6.Beach Ends 7.Stormwater Improvements 8.Resiliency Improvements The documents concludes with a series of appendices, including: A - Community Engagement B - Stormwater Analysis C - Recommended Landscaping Guide D - Resiliency Assessment E - Grants A representative from Kimley-Horn will be in attendance at the Board meeting and will provide a presentation to the Board.

With a recently completed Resiliency Action Plan, local leaders and staff have a clear picture of the potential threats they face that could critically impact the wellbeing and way of life in this area; some of these threats include sea level rise, storm surge, coastal flooding, and day to day reoccurring flooding.The City has identified these threats and opportunities to mitigate the risk for all citizens.Building community resilience can impact nearly every aspect of civic life, including the implementation of sound public policy and good governance. As part of the Presidential Streets Master Plan, a Resiliency Assessment was completed for the core area within Cape Canaveral, knownas thePresidential Streets. Within Presidential Streets, this assessment highlights a Focus Area made up of a grid network, with six (6)east-west corridors (Pierce Avenue, Fillmore Avenue, Taylor Avenue, Polk Avenue, Tyler Avenue, and Harrison Avenue) and five(5)north-south corridors (Atlantic Avenue, Poinsetta Avenue, Orange Avenue, Magnolia Avenue, and Ridgewood Avenue).This area is generally known to have the greatest civic and governmental uses within the City and is primarilyresidential. As part of this assessment, an existing conditions review was completed to identify specific focus areas and outline high-level resiliency solutions that can be implemented in conjunction with or as part of other initiatives being completed by the City of Cape Canaveral. As noted, the City of Cape Canaveral has been extremely proactive in addressing and mitigating climate change risks, and this resiliency assessment is another opportunity to continue this effort on a micro scale. These initiatives are important for ensuringthe longevity of the City and prioritizingthe safety, security and well- being of residentswhile also continuing to prioritize the important status as a socioeconomic, multimodal hub for tourism within the Space Coast industry. pg. 1 Existing Conditions Assessment In order to identify resiliency solutions that fit the character and need of the Presidential Streets, an existing conditions assessment was conducted for a variety of resiliency related factors, also known as shocks and stressors, to get an idea of the overall risk facing this specific area of the City of Cape Canaveral. This was done through a mapping analysis to identify where these factors are located within the Presidential Streets, and where local populations and physical infrastructure are most at risk. The four (4) major themes that were evaluated in this assessment include the following: Critical Facilities The project team evaluated critical facilities located in Presidential Streets that are important for building resiliency and mitigating impacts when disasters do occur. These facilities include fire service and law enforcement buildings, transportation operation facilities, gas stations, grocery stores, educational facilities, waste facilities, government-owned buildings, public utility stations, and HazMat facilities. Flood Hazards & Storm Surge Risk Due to the coastal nature of Cape Canaveral and specifically the Presidential Streets, the area is susceptible to flood risk and sea level rise. Flood hazard mapping was completed to help identify areas that are most at risk and develop specific recommendations. Transportation Characteristics and Facilities Several factors related to transportation were evaluated as part of this resiliency assessment. These characteristics include evacuation routes, crash data, average annual daily traffic counts (AADT) and the location of specific transportation facilities. These elements all play a role in the resiliency of a community in that the facilities must be easily accessible and properly located. Social Vulnerability A social vulnerability analysis was also completed to understand the general need and the vulnerability of the population in the Presidential Streets when facing potential natural disasters or other risks. This analysis evaluated data including socioeconomic status, household composition & disability, minority status & language, among other factors. A breakdown of the specific data sources used for each of the themes is available in Figure 1. The analysis allowed the project team to identify specific areas where conditions are resilient and where there are vulnerabilities. This section will review the data evaluated in the existing conditions assessment. Based on this assessment, solutions and recommendations for focus areas were outlined, which will be discussed in more detail in the following sections. pg. 2 1 Data Analyzed Source Major Themes Fire Stations, Gas Stations, Government Buildings, Police City of Cape Canaveral, Critical Facilities 2022 Stations, Public Libraries, and Schools Florida Department of Transportation Transportation (FDOT), Evacuation Routes Facilities 2022 Federal Emergency Management Federal Emergency Flood Hazards & Management Agency Agency (FEMA) 1% Annual Chance Storm Surge (FEMA), 2021 Flood Event East Central Florida Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges for Regional Planning Flood Hazards & Hurricanes (SLOSH) Category 3 Council (ECFRPC), Storm Surge Storm Surge 2021 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Transportation Space Coast Transit, Characteristics and Roadways, Sidewalks, Bus Routes City of Cape Canaveral, Facilities Various Years Transportation City of Cape Canaveral, Characteristics and Street Criticality 2022 Facilities Transportation Vehicular, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Signal Four Analytics, Characteristics and 2022 Crashes Facilities Florida Department of Transportation Annual Average Daily Traffic Transportation (FDOT), Characteristics and (AADT) 2022 Facilities Persons Below Poverty Unemployed Population Median Income per Capita Population 17 Years Old and United States Census, Social Vulnerability 2018 Younger Population 65 Years Old and Older Population with Disabilities Household with No Vehicle pg. 3 Critical Facilities Critical facilities provide an important and invaluable role in the resiliency of a specific area. The appropriate location of these critical facilities and residentsÓ abilities to access them during emergencies or disasters can reduce disruption, limit risk, and provide critical and needed resources. Critical facilities include locations such as hospitals, fire stations, gas stations, government buildings, police stations, public libraries, and schools. These facilities are typically functional to some degree shortly after emergencies to offer any needed services or goods. In the Presidential Streets, critical facilities are located heavily on the western edge of the Study Area. No facilities are currently located east of Orange Avenue outside of Cape View Elementary School, and this is likely due to the areaÓs proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), critical facilities should not be located in floodplains and should be provided a higher level of protection. As shown in Map 1, critical facilities in the Presidential Streets are concentrated near N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) which serves as the areaÓs sole evacuation route. This location allows for better access to these facilities, and from the facilities to evacuation if needed. Critical facilities found within the Presidential Streets include: City of Cape Canaveral City Hall Brevard County SherriffÓs Office Î Cape Canaveral Precinct Cape Canaveral Culture and Leisure Services Department Cape Canaveral Public Library Canaveral Fire Rescue Station 53 Cape View Elementary School Gas Station - BP Gas Station Î Circle K City of Cape Canaveral Community Center (C5) While many of these locations are identified as critical facilities for the purposes of this assessment, it is important to note that not all of these facilities may be functioning during an emergency. Many of the critical facilities outlined in this resiliency assessment were also identified in the Resilient Cape Canaveral Action Plan as part of a larger network of facilities in the City of Cape Canaveral. pg. 4 1 pg. 5 Flood HazardsandStorm Surge Risk Floodsas a result of natural disasters and inundations arehazardous as theycan cause significant property and infrastructure damage while also be life threatening. While all areas in the US are prone to flooding to some degree, in the state of Florida, many communities are located within flood zones that carry significant risk due to their proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.The Presidential Streets Study Areais extremely susceptible to storm surge and floodingdue to its coastal location. However, there is variation in the level of risk experiencedbased on locationwithin the Study Area. For this assessment,FEMA National Flood Hazard information was used to identify the flood risk in the Study Area. Based on this information,coastal Presidential Streets are located in an area at risk for a 1% Annual Chance Flood Event. A 1% Annual Chance Flood Event, also known as the 100-year flood, is defined as an area that has a 1% chance or higher of flooding inany given year. As shown in Error! Reference source not found., the eastern edge of the Study Areaand coastline, including most of Ridgewood Avenue, arelocated in this area,indicating a significant flood hazard. In addition to evaluating flood hazards, storm surge riskwas evaluatedusing the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes Model, also referred to as theSLOSH model. The SLOSH model was developed by the National Weather Services (NWS) and is used to estimate storm surge height. The categories displayed on the SLOSH model arethesame categories used on the Saffir- Simpson Hurricane Wind scale. For example, any area within a Category 3 storm surge areawould be potentiallyimpacted by a Category 3 hurricane, based on the projected atmospheric pressure, size, forward speed, and track of that storm. Based on this data, much of the Presidential Streets is located withinan area of potentialCategory 3 storm surge, with some coastal areas located in a Category 2. The western edge of the Study Area, where the majority of the Presidential StreetÓs critical facilities are located,alsohas some small and isolated areas that are located in a Category 4 Storm Surge, indicating an area that is slightly more elevated. The Storm Surge map is shown in 2. pg. 6 2 pg. 7 pg. 8 Transportation Characteristics and Facilities As previously mentioned, the Presidential Streets Focus Area is made up of six (6) east- west corridors and five (5) north-south corridors. The area has some multimodal opportunities including bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities, but lacks overall connectivity for these modes. As noted throughout the Master Plan document, several improvements are needed to create a well-connected roadway network that provide and promote multimodal connectivity. For the purposes of the existing conditions assessment, these facilities were evaluated on a very high level in conjunction with transportation data including crash information and AADT. This evaluation determined that the network is characterized by the following: Lack of multimodal (sidewalk and bicycle facilities) connectivity within the Presidential Streets. Transit facilities and routes are concentrated along N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A), the area's sole evacuation route and a main artery for Cape Canaveral. The majority of roads in the area are low-speed, low-volume corridors that are mostly residential. This excludes N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A), which is a major corridor with high volumes and speeds. Crashes with bicyclists and pedestrians are concentrated at major intersections, mainly on N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A). The location of existing roadways, sidewalks, and transit facilities in and surrounding the Presidential Streets is shown in 4. This analysis also looked at the criticality of the roadway facilities in the Study Area. Criticality is a measurement developed by the City of Canaveral staff to prioritize pavement and street repairs based on the needs of the facility. Factors used to determine criticality include the following: Volume of Traffic Presence or Absence of Four-Way Stops Presence or Absence of Traffic Lights Zoning Designation Redevelopment Potential As shown in 5, the majority of the streets that run east-west (Tyler Avenue, Polk Avenue, and Fillmore Avenue) in the Study Area are categorized as low to medium criticality, while all of the streets that run north-south (Poinsetta Avenue, Orange Avenue, Magnolia Avenue, and Ridgewood Avenue) have a high criticality. Streets with a high criticality likely have issues related to significant cracking due to aging roadways, cracked intersections, and weakening base materials. pg. 9 4 pg. 10 5 pg. 11 For this analysis, crash data was also evaluated.These crashes were analyzed using the University of Florida GeoPlan Center Signal Four Analytics. This crash analysis tool is developed and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and provides the detailsof every crash in Florida. Forthis analysis, crashes that occurred duringa five-year rangebetween 2016 and 2021were mapped, as shown in Map 6. These crashes include both vehicular crashes, and those that involved a bicyclist or pedestrian.Areas on the map highlightedin green have fewer vehicularcrashes, while the areas with yellow and red highlightareas with a largernumber of vehicular crashes. In the Study Area, the majority of these high-densitycrash areas are located along N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A), which is the most utilized roadway by vehicles in the area. Additionally, this map displays the . specific locations of bicycle and pedestrian crashes. Five (5) crashes involved a bicyclistand twelve (12) involved a pedestrian between 2016 and 2021. These crashes involve vulnerable users and can be more severe than vehicle-only crashes.This data paints an important picture of which intersections inthePresidential Streets are most dangerous for multimodalusers.These unsafe intersections include: Harrison Avenue and N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) Tyler Avenue and N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) Taylor Avenue and N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) Fillmore Avenue and N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) Pierce Avenue and N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) Taylor Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue Finally, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)data for the Study Areas roadswas also mappedin Map7to understand traffic volumes within the Study Area. Currently, FDOT does not collect AADT for local roads, and makes an assumptionbased on the FDOT Quality Level of Service Handbook that the AADT for these local roads is under 5,000.It can be inferred that these roads have a relatively low traffic volume, making these corridors generally safer for multimodal users without significant facilities. N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A)and Ridgewood Avenue are the only corridors in the Study Area with recorded AADT. TheAADT of these corridors are33,500 and 2,700 respectively.N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A)has by far the highest AADT in the Study Area.The main importance of analyzing AADTfrom a resiliency perspectiveis determining the needs for maintenance and improvements based on the usageofthese roads. The more a road is used, the more likely it is to need repairs in the short-termdue to the constant toll that comes from the vehicles utilizingit. pg. 12 pg. 13 pg. 14 Social Vulnerability Social vulnerability of the Presidential Streets area was also evaluated as part of the Resiliency assessment. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has created the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to measure the potential for negative impacts on at-risk communities. The themes used in the index are shown in Figure 2 and include socioeconomic status, household composition and disability, minor status and language, and housing type and transportation. For the purposes of this study, the specific factors that were analyzed include age, poverty level, income, transportation access, disability, and employment status. Figure 3 below shows how the Study Area, which is entirely contained within Census Tract 685.02, compares to Brevard County overall in each of these vulnerability themes identified in the SVI. The area included in Census Tract 685.02 encompasses more than the Presidential Streets Study Area. However, since this tract includes the Study Area population it is the most accurate and representative source of data available for the purpose of this assessment. Study Area (Census Vulnerability Theme Brevard County Tract 685.02) Socioeconomic Status 0.197 0.2929 Household Composition and 0.2273 0.2892 Disability Minority Status and Language 0.3939 0.1114 Housing Type and Transportation 0.1061 0.4651 Overall Vulnerability 0.1212 0.241 pg. 15 In the Census vulnerability data, the higher the value indicated for each theme the more vulnerable the community is. The Presidential Streets neighborhood is more vulnerable than the overall County with regards to socioeconomic status, demographics and disabilities, and housing type and transportation. Notably, the value for housing type and transportation is at 0.4651 in the Study Area, compared to just 0.1061 in the county, indicating a major gap and potential for an at-risk community. The first of these vulnerability factors analyzed in this assessment is the percentage of the population of the Study Area below poverty, which is shown on Map 8. As shown on the map, the percentage of the population in poverty in the Presidential Streets area is higher than that of the neighboring census tracts. This indicates a high level of vulnerability for the Presidential Streets neighborhood in terms of socioeconomic status. The percentage of unemployed people in the Study Area is shown in Map 9. 3.2% of the population in the Study Area is unemployed, compared to 2.5% in Brevard County, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, yielding a slightly higher rate than that of the County. Map 10 displays the medium income per capita of the Study Area. This map shows that residents of the Study Area take in significantly less income than those in neighboring census tracts. The median income per capita for the Study Area is $31,862, while the median income for the surrounding census tracts ranges between $35,000 and $65,000. Maps 11 and 12 show the minor and senior populations that live in the Study Area. As the maps display, there is a higher minor population (17 and younger) and a lower senior population (65 and older). This implies that there are more families and fewer retirement aged people than the nearby census tracts. Additionally, according to Map 13, the Study Area also has a slightly lower percentage of the people with disabilities than the surrounding census tracts. This is likely due to the fact that the Study Area has fewer senior residents than its neighboring census tracts. The final social vulnerability map, Map 14 shows the percentage of households in the Study Area with no personal vehicle, which is 15.7%. This is higher than that of neighboring census tracts, which likely stems from the lower income in the Study Area. As noted, the social vulnerability for the Presidential Streets neighborhood is higher than that of Brevard County and higher, in most cases, than the neighboring census tracts within the City limits of Cape Canaveral. The neighborhood is representative of a younger population bringing in less income than other parts of the City, some of whom are considered in poverty. That said, this population is employed at a similar rate to the rest of the County, so their lower income could be related to lower education level or the industries in which they are working. These are unique socioeconomic characteristics for a Florida coastal community, and are unlike similar geographically located communities that have more wealth, higher incomes, and an older population. The socioeconomic vulnerability for the Presidential Streets translates into a neighborhood that may be at- risk for negative impacts, and should be addressed through resilience policies. pg. 16 pg. 17 pg. 18 pg. 19 pg. 20 pg. 21 pg. 22 pg. 23 CurrentResiliencyPlanningInitiatives The City of Cape Canaveral, Brevard County, and the East Central FloridaRegional Planning Council are highlycoordinated in the planning and implementation of resiliency initiatives to ensure that the City of Cape Canaveral is ÐFuture-Ready.Ñ This ensures that Cape Canaveral remains a strong and sustainable municipality that is able to address and mitigate challenges that could potentially arise. Several plans have been written, adopted, and are in various stages of implementation in the region, which provide a strong foundation for theresiliency solutions outlined in this assessment. These plans include: Brevard County Local Mitigation Strategy (2020) Resilient Cape Canaveral Action Plan (2021) ECFR2CStrategic Resiliency Action Plan(2021) Through these specific plans the City of Cape Canaveralintends toimplementresiliency solutions that will positively impact the community far into the future and improve its overall resiliency, especially in vulnerable areas such as the Presidential Streets.The following solutions are currently underway as part of each of these monumental and important plans andare generally reflective of the resiliency solutions that will be presented later in this assessment.This list of plans and assessments discussed in this section is not exhaustive, and the project team recognizes that there are several other vulnerability assessments and guiding documents that are part of the larger resiliency strategy. Brevard County Local Mitigation Strategy Brevard County is required to complete a Local Mitigation Strategy, or LMS, every 5 years to ensure that sustained actions are taken to help reduce and mitigate any future disasters or emergencies that may occur. This can help ensure resiliency within communities throughout Brevard County. This document consists of a vulnerability assessment and hazard profile for each of the municipalities located in Brevard County. The City of Cape Canaveral was extremely participative and will continue to remain involved as the LMS is updated. This level of analysis is extremely important and allows municipalities the opportunity to gain a deeper level of understanding of the risk they face and the strategies that may implement for mitigation purposes. The LMS accounts for pre and post disaster resilience and establishes committees to take preparative actions. Resilient Cape CanaveralAction Plan The City of Cape Canaveral completed a Resiliency Action Plan in 2021 that includes dozens of actions to create a resilient and sustainable future.This plan was preceded by the Resilient Cape Canaveral 2019 Vulnerability Assessment.This Action Planwas unanimously adopted by pg. 24 the City Councilin June 2021and is representative of thecommitment to ensuring a resilient and futurethrough the implementation of actionable items, or Preparedness Targets.The resiliency solutions presented in this assessmentare consistent with the below recommendations from the Resilient Cape Canaveral Action Plan. Plant native and Florida-friendly trees and plants (Preparedness Target 10) Use Low Impact Development (LID) or Xeriscape practices on roadways (Preparedness Target 14) Cover all bus stops and illuminate via solar powered lighting (Preparedness Target 23) Introduce Complete Street design and install ADA compliant sidewalks (Preparedness Target 24) Convert 100% of CityÓs streetlights to solar by 2050 (Preparedness Target 29) Capture stormwater for reuse through stormwater chambers, rain barrels, or green roofs (Preparedness Target 36) At least 25% of new City roads, parking, and sidewalks should be permeable (Preparedness Target 37) ECFR2C Strategic Resiliency Action Plan This plan was completed by the East Central FloridaRegionalResilience Collaborative, or R2C, and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council. This plan represents a collaborative effort by many different stakeholdergroups to not only identify vulnerability and risk in the region, but also identify goals for a larger resiliency strategy. Many of the goals align with those of Cape Canaveral, which is identified as a formal partner in the plan. Some goalsfrom this plan that are in line with some of the resiliency concerns in Cape Canaveral, and more specifically, the Presidential Streets, include the following: Implement infrastructure projectsto reduce heat island effect (Infrastructure Goal 1) Increase the implementation of regionally (cross-jurisdiction significant resilient infrastructure projects.(Infrastructure Goal 7) Decrease flood impacts across the region.(Infrastructure Goal8) Developanintegratedregionalscaleriskandhazardassessmentaccountingfor socialvulnerabilities,climatesensitivities,andfutureconditionsbasedonscientific data.(socialvulnerabilities+riskanalysis+historicalhazardoccurrence/future conditions)*mustsatisfymultiplefederallevelriskassessmentrequirementsand couldincludenaturalandhumanmade.(RegionalRisk&VulnerabilityGoal1) Goal:Developaregionallistofmitigationprojectsemphasizingalignment, interactions,andstrategies.(RegionalRisk&VulnerabilityGoal2) pg. 25 Local Resiliency Projects In addition to planning initiatives, there are several notable projects going on that promote green infrastructure and resiliency in Cape Canaveral and the larger region. The following two projects highlight examples of improvements that may be incorporated into the Presidential Streets area. Installing Flood Barriers to Increase Resiliency at Critical Facilities in Cape Canaveral As part of its resiliency initiative, the City of Cape Canaveral installed flood barriers in 2020 at two critical facilities: the Water Reclamation Facility and the Public Works Services Administration Building. While the City has likely installed more of these in other locations, this is an excellent example of making resilient-minded upgrades to address 1 flooding concerns that will result from sea level rise and hurricanes in the future. Minutemen Stormwater and Streetscape Improvements in Cocoa Beach Cocoa Beach offers an example for using green infrastructure techniques to address resiliency and conservation issues faced by a community. This project installed urban planters, rain gardens, tree wells, exfiltration vaults and permeable pavers to allow stormwater runoff to mimic the natural water cycle, remove nutrients from the water, and return it back to the Banana River Lagoon. This provides an excellent local example of opportunities for treating stormwater and incorporating it back into the natural ecosystem 2 without causing adverse impacts. 1 Eichholz, Z.

(https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLDEP/bulletins/1ac80ed) pg. 26 Resiliency Solutions Based on the existing conditions and current initiatives taking place in the Study Area and in the larger City of Cape Canaveral, several broad resiliency solutions were identified that fit into the overall resiliency strategy but are specific to the Presidential Streets. These solutions are intended to provide a general framework for initiatives that can be incorporated into future and planned projects as part of a larger resilience strategy already in place. These solutions are general suggestions and should be incorporated on a case- by-case basis where and when appropriate, but should be heavily focused on the following five (5) focus areas that were identified within the Presidential Streets based on the desktop analysis and community feedback via the surveys and workshops: ¤ Focus Area 1: Fillmore Avenue ¤ Focus Area 2: Poinsettia Avenue ¤ Focus Area 3: Magnolia Avenue and Tyler Avenue Intersection ¤ Focus Area 4: N. Atlantic Avenue (A1A) and Tyler Avenue Intersection ¤ Focus Area 5: Fillmore Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue Intersection These resiliency solutions include a short description, the solutionÓs priority for implementation, the identified responsible agency, and the general cost range to implement the identified objectives. Figure 4 below can be considered a key and identifies the different ranges that may be encountered on the following solution pages. Priority Priorities may be low, medium, or high Focus Areas for Implementation 1, 2, 3, 4 and/or 5 Any identified local agency that may be applicable. This typically will include the municipality and/or Responsibility county as primarily responsible. Other partners may be identified in the future. These estimates are planning level cost estimates and are not associated with any other plan. They are intended to be general ranges solely for the purposes of this assessment: Cost $ - $0 to $50,000 $$ - $50,000 to $250,000 $$$ - $250,000 to $500,000 $$$$ - $500,000+ pg. 27 Solution 1: Elevating and Undergrounding Critical Facilities& Utilities Priority:Low Focus Areas for Implementation: All Responsibility:City of Cape Canaveral,Florida Power and Light (FPL),Brevard County Cost:$$$$ In order to ensure that critical facilities and utilities are offline for the shortest time possible and able to provide critical needs and services to the public, the City of Cape Canaveral should explore opportunities for elevating these critical buildings and burying utilities where appropriate. The City may be able to implement these resiliency solutions when roadways and other transportation facilities need to be updated in the future, or in locations where right-of-way permits. Elevating critical facilities and undergrounding utilities can make the area less vulnerable to severe weather and other externalities that can damage these facilitiesand cause mass power outages. Additionally, when elevating critical facilities, gas stations and grocery stores should be included to reduce the impacts of flooding and increase the ability of residents to access them in times of need. .

Increasing the amount of street lighting and signage can improve safety conditions along corridors and improves travelersÓ abilities to find destinations in times of emergency.These roadway amenities should also be selected and upgraded to accommodate the flood hazard and storm surge risk and should be designed to withstand the Category 3 risk and 100-year flood zone issues identified previously in this assessment. OBJECTIVES FOR IMPLEMENTATIONOF SOLUTION 2 Objective 2.1:Inventory and identify existing roadway amenities within Presidential Streets. Objective 2.2:Using the completed inventory, identify opportunities to replace lighting structures with solar powered, resilient lighting optionsthat can withstand flooding and storm surge. Objective 2.3:Create a signage and wayfinding package for the Presidential Streets area that includes emergency response signage that identifies critical facilities and evacuation routes. pg. 29 Solution 3: Promoting Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Priority:Medium Focus Areas for Implementation: All Responsibility:City of Cape Canaveral, FDOT Cost:$$ Increasing the connectivity of bicycle and pedestrian facilities can provide opportunities for alternative transportation for both recreation and travel, which can indirectly impact the resiliency of a community.ThePresidential Streets area has several opportunities for promoting connectivity of sidewalks and bicycle facilities through the construction of new sidewalks and bicycle amenities, improvement of existing facilities, and signage and wayfinding opportunities. OBJECTIVES FOR IMPLEMENTATIONOF SOLUTION 3 Objective 3.1:Complete a bicycle and pedestrian master plan for the City of Cape Canaveral to identify the existing network and make recommendations for network connectivity. This plan should be heavily focused on the aspects of bicycle-pedestrian travel that can increase resiliency and mitigate vulnerability in the City of Cape Canaveral, and specifically, the Presidential Streets. Objective 3.2:Identify opportunities for encouraging alternative transportation within the community. Objective3.3:Provide opportunities for bicycling within the community through micromobility programs like bicycling sharing initiativesthat will encourage more use of alternative transportation. pg. 30 Solution 4: Implementation ofRoadway Improvements Priority:Medium Focus Areas for Implementation: All Responsibility:City of Cape Canaveral, FDOT Cost:$$ to $$$ Roadway improvementscan be a usefultechnique to create complete streets, which can positively contribute to resiliency by providing multimodaland reliable corridors. Roadway improvements appropriate for the Presidential Streets area includeone-way street conversion, narrowing the pavement to achieve traffic calming,identifyingadditional traffic calming solutions,and adding greenery and green infrastructure treatments for stormwater infiltration.These improvements can improve safety, quality, and resiliency of the roads and contribute to a more multimodal friendly atmosphere in the Presidential Streets. Many of these improvements were discussed in detail in the main Master Plan underthe ÐRoadway ImprovementsÑ section. OBJECTIVES FOR IMPLEMENTATIONOF SOLUTION 4 Objective 4.1:Identify specific areas inthePresidential Streets that have a need for roadway improvementsthat would contribute to the resilience of the area. Objective 4.2:Include specific projects identified in local plans for future feasibility studies, design phases, construction, or implementation. pg. 31 Solution 5: Identifying Policy Solutions Priority: High Focus Areas for Implementation: All Responsibility: City of Cape Canaveral Cost: $ Policy changes can be a great way to implement resiliency solutions at the local level. Below are a few policy-related methods that can be used to reduce the vulnerability of local infrastructure: Provide courses and educational materials to residents explaining when and how to evacuate from severe weather conditions; Prepare available resources for citizens post disaster such as food, water, blankets, and generators; Incorporate community Resilience Hubs that can serve as central location that provides citizens a variety of resources when disruption occurs and supports initiatives for recovery and ongoing communication; Prepare a transit strategy in order to maintain public transportation options directly before and after a disaster; Promote green infrastructure through a variety of local initiatives that are in part funded by the community or grants. OBJECTIVES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLUTION 5 Objective 5.1: Develop a Communications and Marketing Plan to identify strategies for enhancing disaster preparedness and to share and promote larger initiatives identified in the Resilient Cape Canaveral Action Plan. Objective 5.2: Identify any gaps in the current resilience strategy that may be exploited during an emergency or natural disaster. Objective 5.3: Determine opportunities for funding a small grants program to encourage property owners and local residents to implement resilient technology and green infrastructure on their own property. Objective 5.4: Identify a location within the Presidential Streets area to serve as a Resilience Hub, and determine any outstanding resource or facility needs for properly equipping that location. pg. 32 Green Infrastructure Opportunities Green infrastructure provides an excellent option for integrating resilience strategies into the Presidential Streets area. The following green infrastructure initiatives offer opportunities to incorporate green infrastructure and strengthen resiliency, and should be explored for integration with any projects in any of the 5 focus areas identified: tĻƩƒĻğĬƌĻ tğǝĻƩƭ Permeable pavers should be explored and implemented where appropriate and feasible. These types of pavers allow water to permeate the surface and can assist communities in reducing stormwater runoff while also allowing the water to reach soils and thus, nearby plants and flowers. Flooding issues and the pooling of water can also be limited through the implementation of permeable pavers, which contributes to overall resilience of the community. These can be creatively incorporated into sidewalk and multi-use path design or crosswalks depending on the implementing agency. .źƚƭǞğƌĻƭ Bioswales, like permeable pavers, offer the community an additional resource for handling stormwater runoff that can contribute to flooding and the pooling of water. According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials, or NACTO, these vegetated, shallow, landscaped depressions can be integrated into medians, cul-de-sacs, bulb outs and other traffic calming strategies (NACTO, 2022). This provides an excellent opportunity for Cape Canaveral and the Presidential Streets area as it provides elements that address both the transportation system and its overall resilience. LƓŅźƌƷƩğƷźƚƓ Infiltration is another option for collecting stormwater and redistributing it for other uses. Opportunities exist to create stormwater drains and other infrastructure to create an infiltration system that is highly dependable and reduces strain on other water providing systems in the community. Both bioswales and permeable pavers are examples of infiltration systems. wĻĭƌğźƒĻķ LƩƩźŭğƷźƚƓ The reuse of highly treated wastewater for non-potable use is an option for limiting use of treated water and conserving it for other uses. Non-potable uses include watering plants and landscaping, which is something many communities in Florida are currently doing. {ƷƩĻĻƷ ƩĻĻƭ ğƓķ \[ğƓķƭĭğƦźƓŭ Street trees and landscaping are considered part of green infrastructure due to their ability to enhance a sense of place while increasing the general green space. It is important for local communities to plant the right kind of vegetation (local, non-invasive) in the right places where they will thrive. Street trees can provide shade and improve overall quality of life for local communities. pg. 33 9ƓĭƚǒƩğŭĻ ğƓķ {ǒƦƦƚƩƷ ƷŷĻ \[ƚĭğƌ /ƚƒƒǒƓźƷǤ While the City of Cape Canaveral has the opportunity to implement resiliency solutions on a City-wide scale, the ability of individual property owners and general members of the public to implement resiliency strategies on their own cannot be understated. Local members of the public can make changes to their properties or participate in local programs that can have a significant impact on the resiliency of the community. These programs include Adopt-A-Tree programs and the implementation of rain gardens or other infiltration systems in their own backyards. This type of green infrastructure on a more grassroots level can be encouraging for individuals, and opportunities for partial funding for undertaking these initiatives should be explored. DĻƓĻƩğƌ /ƚƭƷƭ ŅƚƩ DƩĻĻƓ LƓŅƩğƭƷƩǒĭƷǒƩĻ Figure below indicates the general cost ranges for each of the identified green infrastructure solutions. These costs are planning level cost estimates and are not intended to give a cost for any specific project the City may be interested in undertaking. It is recommended that the City of Cape Canaveral complete a Green Infrastructure Implementation Plan to identify more specific treatments, their locations, and their costs if the City is interested in pursuing this option as part of its ongoing resiliency strategy. Green Infrastructure Opportunity Planning Level Cost $50,000 to $75,000+; this cost depends on the Permeable Pavers number of pavers needed and the specific type of project being implemented. Rain Gardens, Bioswales $20,000 to $25,000 per 100 linear feet. These costs are highly variable depending on Infiltration System size of system and area, and the complexity of the desired system. These costs are highly variable depending on Reclaimed Irrigation System size of system and area, and the complexity of the desired system. $20,000 to $55,000 per 100 linear feet; costs Street Trees and Landscaping highly depend on location with right-of-way or outside of it, and type of landscaping and plants There is no specific cost associated with this; the Grants Program to Support Local City of Cape Canaveral may determine the funds Grassroots initiatives based on type of projects they are interested in supporting. pg. 34 Plan Alignment The previously outlined resiliency solutions as part of the Presidential Streets Master Plan are consistent with localplans and have a level of overlap for integration into planned and upcoming projects.Cohesive and well-aligned plans can help improve the likelihood of integrating resiliency solutions into local projects and processes, and ensures the long- term success of the community in this effort.

It places multiple uses within a site, such as street-level retail with residential units above (vertical mixed use), or co-locates uses within a designated area, such as neighborhoods that offer residential, commercial, and civic spaces within walking distance (horizontal mixed use). This development approach varies from traditional zoning where land uses are separated into distinct zones. The mix of different uses makes it possible for people to live near everyday destinations, such as places of work, and thus, provides a variety of environmental, economic, social, and health benefits that can align with existing community priorities. The concept of mixed-use is established in several City policy documents, such as: 1.A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District – wherein it states that “The main street component of the District is intended to provide a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented focus for the proposed Town Center, with land uses serving Town Center residents and visitors. This sub-district provides the City of Cape Canaveral with a small-town style walkable center that is convenient, useful, safe and attractive for pedestrians and lively, yet relaxed. Small-scale retail and other commercial uses shall occupy as much of the ground floor frontages along Central Boulevard as the market will bear. Upper stories shall be office or residential along these main streets.” 2.Community Redevelopment Plan – within the Flexible Zoning and Land Development Regulations section, it states that the “City should continue efforts started with the A1A EOOD to provide for mixed use zoning and flexible development regulations.” It continues in the Planning Studies section that “ The CRA may fund planning studies to include, “creation of CRA specific zoning regulations that allow flexibility in accommodating development/redevelopment of undersized properties; create architectural design guidelines and signage standards; development of mixed use zoning/land use designations to allow for a Town Center/Downtown project; and other similar initiatives.” 3.2022 Strategic Planning Retreat – Summary Report – within the SWOT analysis portion of the Report, under the Opportunities section, it states “More Mixed-Use Options (Retail/Restaurants/Grocery Shopping). The use of land in the City is primarily governed by the Comprehensive Plan (Plan) and the Unified Land Development Code (LDC). The City’s Plan describes the various future land use categories which are illustrated on the future land use map in the Plan. All future development or redevelopment of property must be consistent with the Plan and with the future land use map. The LDC establishes specific, detailed development standards related to various zoning classifications and is intended to implement the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the LDC, the provisions of the Plan shall take precedence. City of Cape Canaveral P&Z Board Regular Meeting · August 24, 2022 Agenda Item # Page 2 of 3 The City of Cape Canaveral Comprehensive Plan currently does not contain language that expressly authorizes mixed-use development. Rather, the Plan only establishes traditional land use categories, which are found in Policy LU-1.3.3 as indicated below: POLICY LU-1.3.3 The City shall enforce its requirements pertaining to densities and intensities of land use in each land-use category--i.e. R-1, Low Density Residential: maximum 5.808 lots/acre. R-2, Medium Density Residential and Townhouse Apartments: maximum 15 units/acre. R-3, Duplex/Multi-Family/Townhouse Apartments: maximum 15 units/acre. M-1, Light Industrial: maximum 4.356 lots/acre. C-1, Commercial: zoning regulations impose a variety of requirements, depending upon type of use. C-2, Commercial: zoning regulations impose a variety of requirements, depending upon type of use. PUB, Public and Recreation Facilities. CON, Conservation. On the other hand, the City’s LDC authorizes mixed-use through the PD zoning category. Mixed- use development is defined as “A type of development which may include one building, set of buildings, or defined project area for more than one purpose and may include any combination of uses, but not limited to residential, retail shops, eating establishments including rooftop restaurants, professional offices, industrial, and civic uses in either a horizontal or vertical setting.” Mixed Use projects are specifically permitted in the EOOD as a PD (see Sec. 110-609). Furthermore, Sec. 110-722 defines the following types of PD zoning: 1.Planned commercial centers. Complementary and compatible residential uses, office uses and industrial uses may be included if they are compatibly and harmoniously designed into the commercial center within a planned development zoning district. 2.Planned attraction and destination uses. Complementary and compatible residential uses may be included, provided that their design within the planned development zoning district will produce a reasonable living environment. 3.Planned mixed-use development uses. Complementary and compatible residential uses may be included, provided that their design within the planned development zoning district will produce a reasonable living environment. 4.Planned industrial and office parks. Complementary and compatible commercial uses may be included if they are properly integrated into the total industrial or office park within a planned development zoning district. 5.Other uses. Any other private, public or semipublic use that is complementary to, and compatible with planned commercial, attraction and destination, mixed-use, office or industrial developments. City of Cape Canaveral P&Z Board Regular Meeting · August 24, 2022 Agenda Item # Page 3 of 3 As indicated above, when there is a conflict between the Plan and LDC, the Plan takes precedence. In this situation, as the Plan does not provide for mixed-use, it is not authorized. In order to resolve this conflict, a Plan amendment must be processed to allow for mixed-use development. Staff is requesting that the P&Z Board discuss the issue and provide Staff with direction on processing an amendment to the Plan to establish a mixed-use land use category. The amendment may include general development guidelines such as density/intensity standards, etc. Attachments: None Community and Economic Development Staff recommend the Board take the following action: Provide Staff with a recommendation on moving forward with an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to establish a mixed-use land use category.
