This property is within the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District. The application includes a request for: A. Review and approval of Level 1 Application consistent with Sec. 22-44 of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances; and B. Review and approval of an increased building height consistent with Sec. 110-624 of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances. The Level 1 application is for Community Appearance Board review and approval of a 6 -story, national -brand, extended stay hotel located at 9000 Astronaut Boulevard. The proposed building in located on a 3.54 acre parcel, consists of 112,000 square feet, and includes 153 units. The project represents a $17 million investment in the community. 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. One of the requirements of the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (Sec. 110- 624(b)) is that any structure between 45 and 65 feet in height requires approval from the CAB. The hotel structure, as proposed, is 65 in height. The design team utilized a stepback approach during the design process. A stepback is a technique to setback upper floors to breakup an otherwise monolithic presence. Please see the enclosed A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District regulations. The Overlay District addresses architectural design standards, site planning, landscaping, parking, and signage requirements that are unique to the EOOD. Staff will provide an overview of the A1A Overlay District at the meeting. The applicant will provide a presentation to include proposed color palettes and construction materials. Staff has reviewed the application and has found that it is consistent with Sec. 22-44 of the Code and the A1A Overlay District requirements.

(1) The A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) is an approximately one -mile commercial corridor, generally recognized as extending from the entrance to the City of Cape Canaveral on the north to the Canaveral River area on the south. This approximately one -mile corridor is intersected by Central Boulevard which generally runs east -west. (2) The area of the district along AIA is intended to serve as the main gateway into the City of Cape Canaveral. The area of the district along Central Boulevard is intended to serve as the main street to the City of Cape Canaveral's Town Center and as a transition between the land use, circulation, and streetscape along A1A and the Town Center. This District is intended to have the most intense commercial and residential uses. The EOOD is meant to provide a lively and attractive interface between the proposed Town Center and the adjacent residential communities, while maintaining a primarily commercial street frontage along AIA and Central Boulevard (3) The streets will have a retail/commercial service atmosphere with small or large neighborhood stores at street level and apartments or offices on upper floors. The retail composition of the district shall include stores, personal services. hotels, cultural facilities, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, convenience stores with gas, high tech manufacturing, entertainment, and eating establishments including rooftop restaurants that serve the EOOD as well as stores, eating establishments and business services (printing, accounting, etc.) that serve the other businesses and office users in the area Residential uses shall be limited to upper floors along A1A and Central Boulevard within the Economic Opportunity Overlay District. (4) 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 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.

Page 3 of 5 The A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) provides design guidelines and standards which are intended to promote and enhance the identity of the district. Specifically, the goals of the EOOD are: (1) To create attractive, functional, and lasting buildings and places. (2) To encourage the design, construction and operation of buildings and places that are environmentally responsible, sustainable and healthy places to live, work, and play. (3) To promote development and redevelopment that preserves and enhances the physical appearance of the corridor and contributes to the district's unique sense of place. (4) To encourage the use of quality materials in development and redevelopment (5) To encourage development that adds to a pedestrian friendly retail environment and contributes to the safety and comfort of both pedestrian and automobile traffic. (6) To provide direction in site planning and to ensure a high degree of design quality in development within the Al EOOD through the use of Design Guidelines and Standards. (7) To enhance and protect the commercial corridors and primary entrances into the City of Cape Canaveral. (Ord No 11-2012, § 2(Exh. A), 7-17-12) Sec. 110-590. Objectives. (1) The design guidelines and standards are intended to address the built environment within the City of Cape Canaveral and to recognize aesthetic design as an integral part of the planning and development process (2) The guidelines and standards are intended to ensure that the appearance of new development, infill development, and redevelopment is representative of the City of Cape Canaveral's Community Vision. (3) The guidelines and standards will enable development to occur in a manner that is not only beneficial and worthwhile for the developers and property owners, but the development will also have a positive impact on the surrounding properties, neighborhoods, citizens, and the entire city (Ord. No 11-2012, § 2(Exh. A), 7-17 12) Sec. 110-591. Design principles. The A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) is based upon a set of design principles. These principles are: (1) Consistency. The Al Commercial corridor features a mixture of development types including office buildings, hotels and convention facilities, strip -commercial centers, neighborhood -serving retail, nighttime entertainment uses, attractions, and restaurants. Design of these structures has been influenced by use, age, and site dimensions. Within the context of these constraints, developments can achieve the principle of consistency through selection of colors, exterior surface materials, scale, rhythm, proportions, landscaping and sign programs. (2) Activity: Active street life, which can be enhanced by design considerations, is a major component of thriving pedestrian commercial districts. There are many opportunities to insert options for increased street -level pedestrian activity along A1A. Through building orientation, circulation, storefront design and landscaping, development can further promote the principle of safe pedestrian activity. (3) Pedestrian orientation: Pedestrian orientation can be achieved through storefront ornamentation, reduction of blank surfaces, building articulation, proportion, rhythm, color, and texture. Guidelines and Standards based upon this principle address wall surfaces, windows, awnings, signage, and architectural treatments. (4) Safety: Public safety is critical to the success of a commercial district. Public safety in this case refers not only to safety from criminal activity, but also creating an environment in which pedestrian and automobile traffic can safely coexist. The design and development of commercial centers and the public open space adjacent to them shall include considerations of public safety. Public safety issues can be addressed through site planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and landscaping. (5) Simplicity: Design Guidelines and Standards for the AIA Economic Opportunity Overlay District shall provide for public convenience by clearly identifying the nature of the business and communicating points of ingress and egress for pedestrian and automobile traffic. These issues can be addressed through architectural treatments as well as through site planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and landscaping (Ord.

Signs shall be scaled to fit within the boundaries of a storefront or building it is advertising. The exposed backs of all signs visible to the public shall be suitably finished and maintained. M. Projects or buildings containing more than one storefront shall have a planned coordinated sign program that provides consistency with regard to height, size, shape, colors and degree of illumination. n The restoration of historic signage as may be prescribed in recognized preservation guidelines and historic documentation is strongly encouraged. o. No later than 90 days following the closing of a business, any related signs shall be removed and replaced with blank panels or painted out. (Crd. No. 11-2012, § 2(Exh. A), 7-17-12) Sec. 110-703. Awning signs. (1) Develop awning signs that are harmonious with architectural details of the facade and which do not detract from the overall design. a. Signage shall be limited to the skirt (valence) of the awning and shall not be on the awning face. b. If illuminated, awning sign illumination shall be external. Back -lit, translucent signs are prohibited. Lighting shall be directed downward and shall not illuminate the awning. C. To avoid having to replace awnings or paint out previous tenant signs when a new tenant moves in, the use of replaceable valances shall be considered. d.

This property is within the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District. The application includes a request for: A. Review and approval of Level 1 Application consistent with Sec. 22-44 of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances; and B. Review and approval of an increased building height consistent with Sec. 110-624 of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances. The Level 1 application is for Community Appearance Board review and approval of a 6 -story, national -brand, extended stay hotel located at 9000 Astronaut Boulevard. The proposed building in located on a 3.54 acre parcel, consists of 112,000 square feet, and includes 153 units. The project represents a $17 million investment in the community. 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.

Sanitary Sewer: Since sanitary sewer is not available in the immediate area (and easements could not be obtained), the developer proposes to construct a force main under SR AIA and tie into a manhole on the western side of the road. Sanitary sewer piping from the manhole eventually connects to the City's Lift Station No. 7 located at the intersection of Thurm Boulevard and Central Boulevard. This lift station has a relatively small capacity and must be evaluated to determine if upgrading is required. Response: Applicant received written confirmation from Mr. Ratliff on April 7, 2014 that the sanitary system on the western side of A 1 has the capacity and that the manhole connection as shown is acceptable forproject tie-in. Comment: 2. Drainage calculations will be required to verify that the proposed stormwater management system is adequate to meet City and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) requirements. Infiltration tests must be performed at the location of the proposed underground wet retention pond and dry retention pond. Soils data would also be useful in determining the feasibility of the proposed drainage system. Additionally, how will the underground wet detention pond be constructed (i.e., stormwater vaults, perforated pipes, etc.). Response: Applicant recently met with and completed additional geotechnical investigations that included drainage infiltration testing in accordance with the permitting requirements of SJRWMD. The applicant has revised the stormwater system to be an underground dry retention pond with a portion being a stormwater vault constructed beneath the surface parking. Comment: 3. Reclaimed water is not available in the site vicinity. The nearest reclaimed water pipe is located on the western side of SR AIA. How does the developer intend to irrigate landscape vegetation at the hotel site? Response: Applicant intends to utilize an onsite well as the source to irrigate project landscape vegetation. Comment: 4. Does the developer intend to provide the City a utility easement along the eastern side of the property for future utility use? Response: As discussed during Applicant's DRC meeting, extension of the City's utilities are not anticipated to occur along the eastern property limits. No utility easements are being requested. Page 1 DRC Comments & Responses — Site Plan Review #1 May 8, 2014 Sunbelt Cape Canaveral Hotel within AlA Economic Opportunity Overlay District (FOOD) SUNBELT-OCF, LLC Comment: 5. Is a restaurant planned for the hotel site? Response: Prepared breakfast and dinners will be available, only forservice to Note/patrons. Comment: 6. The developer shall be required to pay the City of Cocoa Water Department its share of the construction cost of any required up-sizing of the potable water line for fire service. Response: Based on coordination of the Applicant's Project Engineers (Civil and Mechanical) with the City of Cocoa Water Department, the intent is to provide a looped connection between two separate water mains located on opposite sides (east -west) of A 1 to meet the required fire flow / pressure for the hotel. Comment: 7. Please submit coordination plans for the parking for contractors and other workers. Response: Applicant intends to permit and construct the sitework, including the T" lift of pavement, as the initial sequence of construction. This will provide ample area for construction personnel to store materials and park onsite. Comment: 8. The developer shall provide copies of all permits provided by others. Response: Acknowledged. Comment: 9. The project will require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the FDEP. Response: Acknowledged. Comment: Further review will be conducted during the permitting process (and after more detailed drawings are submitted) for compliance of all local and state codes. The Engineer -of - Record is responsible for any requirements not identified by the City. Response: Acknowledged. CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT REVIEW Reviewer: John A. Pekar, P.E., LLC Review Date: March 15, 2014 Comment: 1. Soil test data with drainage calculations will be needed to support the plan. Both SJRWMD and FDOT criteria should be followed for stormwater designs.

Stormwater design will be in accordance with the permitting requirements of SJRWMD and FDOT. Comment: 2. Drainage plan should include culvert sizes, grate details, control structures, ground water elevations, and details of retention areas. Response: Ackno Comment: 3. Proposed access (for maintenance) should be noted for wet detention pond under pavement areas. Response: Acknowledged.. Comment: 4. The sanitary sewer system including lift stations and City connections need to be shown to Lift Sta. #7 Response: Applicant received written confirmation from Mr. Ratliff on April 7, 2094 that the sanitary system on the western side of A 1 has the capacity and that the manhole connection as shown is acceptable for project tie-in.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REVIEW COMMENTS Reviewer: John Cunningham / Chief Sargeant Comments Date: March 12, 2014 Comment: There are two new fire hydrants proposed at the front entrance of the property on each side of the access driveway. The North West fire hydrant is in place for use with the FDC. This fire hydrant needs to be placed so that accessing it will not put personal in the path of vehicle traffic. The parking space to the East of the FDC needs to be yellow striped for fire department use only. A second fire hydrant will be required at the South East corner of the building. This will require you to relocate the South West hydrant or add another. Response: Acknowledged.
