Orange County Public School (OCPS) Substantial Amendment to the Ocoee Crown Point Planned Unit Development (PUD); Project No: RZ- 19-05-05. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, May 30, 2019) (City Planner Rumer) Zoning Manager Gajadhar presented a brief PowerPoint presentation on this proposed substantial amendment to the Ocoee Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan (LUP) for multiple tracts owned by Orange County Public Schools. This PUD is approximately 360 acres which is located on the northwest side of the city and was a joint venture approved in 2003 between OCPS and the City. Currently the PUD consists of the Ocoee High School and a proposed elementary school as well as the Preserve at Crown Point subdivision. The specific parcel within this PUD to be amended consists of 37.46 acres, five tracts (5), and is currently vacant. It is located to the northwest of Fullers Cross Road and SR 429, west of Ocoee Apopka Road and south of the West Orange Trail. The proposed five (5) tracts to be modified are Tracts 13 and 41 from bus depot/townhome and stormwater drainage to workforce education/townhome; Tracts 7A and 7B from workforce education to workforce education/townhome, and Tract 34 from right-of-way to workforce education/townhome (see graph below). Tract# Current Land Use Proposed Land Use 7A and 7B Workforce Education Workforce Education/Townhome 13 Bus Depot/Townhome Workforce Education/Townhome 34 Right-Of-Way Workforce EducationlTownhome 41 Stormwater Drainage Workforce Education/Townhome Zoning Manager Gajadhar summed up his presentation by announcing that the Development Review Committee (DRC) met recently and found this amendment to be consistent with City regulations and voted unanimously to approve it; and further, City staff recommends approval of this major amendment as well. Discussion: The applicant was present for questions. Chair Keller asked if the applicant would like to speak. Chris Wilson, Applicant representing OCPS, Marchena and Graham, P.A., 976 Lake Baldwin Lane, Orlando, thanked the Board for their time and introduced the following individuals associated with this project that were present for questions: OCPS Sr. Director of Planning & Design Faz AU; OCPS Planner Jamie Boerger; Rick Baldocchi, P.E. with AVCON, Inc. 2 Planning&Zoning Commission June 11,2019 Chris Wilson presented the proposed substantial amendment to change certain land uses to workforce/townhome. He stated the Notice to Proceed is underway with the architect and engineer, and it has already been budgeted to begin the next day (June 12, 2019) with constructing the Workforce Education. Rick Baldocchi, P.E., AVCON, Inc., 5555 E. Michigan Street, Suite 200, Orlando, highlighted two major modifications. One modification was the access off of Ocoee Apopka Road, and the other one was the pond, which will be incorporated into the larger parcel. He discussed the trip generation data, which was gathered from a nearby bus depot and a technical college. That data showed a future reduction in the number of trips for the proposed project. Chis Wilson, Applicant, concluded by stating OCPS concurs with staff's recommendation. He mentioned the City and OCPS have had a great working relationship on past projects with the high school, the future elementary school and this future technical school. He said they are available for any questions. Vice-Chair Williams indicated this area can get very congested. She asked how this new technical school is going to work in terms of hours of operation with the high school. Rick Baldocchi said the high school and technical school will have completely different schedules. He explained the high school has a more structured schedule where everyone comes and goes at the same time; whereas, a technical school has classes throughout the day and into the night. Chair Keller asked when they are scheduled to break ground and how many buses will be going there. Chris Wilson said the proposed groundbreaking is January of 2021, and there may be approximately three to four buses. Development Review Committee(DRC)Recommendation: On June 5, 2019, the DRC met to determine if the proposed Substantial Amendment to the Ocoee Crown Point PUD/LUP for tracts of land owned by Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) was consistent with the City's regulations and intent for the sale of land. The Development Review Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Amendment to the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. Staff Recommendation: Staff respectfully recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Substantial Amendment to the Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan (PUD/LUP)for tracts of land owned by Orange County Public Schools (OCPS), subject to completion of staff comments. 3 Planning&Zoning Commission June 11,2019 (6:46 pm) Chair Keller opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present who wishes to speak on this proposed project. Cory Miller, 1860 Donahue Drive, Ocoee, Preserve of Crown Point, indicated as a resident he would rather the parcels stay undeveloped. He said he was never aware that a bus depot was ever scheduled for that site, and he believes that area is not suited for a bus depot. He said if a technical college is built on this site, he prefers the second access so that the roundabout is not utilized. He indicated after living in their current home for a short time, his daughter was T- boned in that roundabout, and he further stated the roundabout is a mess. Chair Keller closed the public hearing. Member Mellen announced he is abstaining from voting on this item. (Form 8B is filed with the City Clerk's Department.) (6:49 pm) Motion: Move that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, recommend to the Ocoee City Commission Approval of the Orange County Public School Substantial Amendment to the Ocoee Crown Point PUD; Project No: RZ-19-05-05, subject to resolution of the remaining staff comments before the City Commission meeting; Moved by Vice-Chair Williams, Seconded by Member Wunderlich; motion passed 3-0 with Member Mellen abstaining. B. Amendment to the Ocoee Land Development Code (LDC) Implementing Zoning Criteria for the Downtown Overlay & SR 429 Overlay Districts. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, May 30, 2019) (Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless) (6:50 pm) Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless presented a PowerPoint explaining the Downtown and State Road 429 Overlay Areas as it relates to the Land Development Code (LDC). She introduced Tara Salmieri, AICP, with PlanActive Studio who consults with City staff on amending the LDC. She explained they are currently amending Article V and Article VI to the LDC to make it more user-friendly with "quick glance tables" and graphs. Tara Salmieri, PlanActive Studio, indicated she will be discussing the overviews of the State Road 429 Overlay and the Downtown Master Plan. She explained why the State Road 429 Overlay District was developed; and further, within this overlay are subareas in the character plans, which are called the Interchange, Gateway and Business Districts. She described the Downtown Overlay District and mentioned with this overlay there was a lot of community involvement, which facilitated districts within the overlay called the Maguire Corridor, Silver Star Corridor, Downtown Core, Downtown Neighborhood, and Downtown General. 4 Planning&Zoning Commission June 11,2019 Tara Salmieri explained why this amendment to Article V (Land Use and Density Regulations) and Article VI (Design and Performance Standards) is being revised with new formats and standards. She mentioned each district listed above will include "quick glance tables" at the very beginning, which will include that District's purpose, use, lot standards, building types and other standards. The quick glance tables are a summary of what is in that district and intended for quick reference with links to each section to be more user-friendly. She explained "Building Types" is a fairly new way of regulating; and further, this is not a use, but "Building Typology" or character of the building. Tara Salmieri further discussed the revision of Article VI (Design and Performance Standards). The design standards for buildings may include general, illustrative and a focus on scale, not type. She said both sets of the Master Plans provides streetscapes, which will continue to be referenced within the Master Plans; however, the Public Frontage Requirements (curb to property line) are being regulated by basic standards such as walk zones, planting zones, on- street parking zones and travel-way zones. Some other general standards that were addressed within Article VI are outdoor storage, loading and service areas, building design and materials, building entrances, pedestrian accesses, parking ratios and design; however, signs and landscape are both being updated. She explained the current code does not specify community open space, but open space was introduced with the Master Plan. She concluded with mentioning architectural style is within both overlay plans in a lot of detail; and further, the compliance standards of architectural styles will be included in the code. Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless explained this LDC Amendment will not be heard by the City Commission until early fall so that certain tables and sections can be worked through by City staff. The following items are currently under development by staff to be brought back and heard again by this Board: Table 3.2 (Permitted Uses by Subdistrict);Article VI, Section 6-16.8 (Sign Design) and Section 6-16.9 (Landscape and Buffers). She advised the Development Review Committee (DRC) met today on this amendment in which they recommended approval; and further, staff also recommends this amendment for approval. Development Review Committee(DRC)Recommendation: The Development Review Committee (DRC) met on June 11, 2019 to discuss Implementing the Zoning Criteria for the Downtown Overlay and State Road 429 Overlay Districts. Following the discussion, the DRC approved the amendment to the Land Development Code. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Amendment to the Ocoee Land Development Code Implementing Zoning Criteria for the Downtown Overlay& SR 429 Overlay District 5 Planning&Zoning Commission June 11,2019 Discussion: Member Mellen inquired about the setbacks listed on the quick glance table as zero feet minimum and 15 feet maximum. He stated it is his understanding that the City has standard front, side and backyard setbacks. Tara Salmieri explained that the City does have standard setbacks; however, the overlay district standards will trump any current existing standards that are located within the overlay. She further stated each district has different setback standards under the overlay; i.e., the Business District has a zero foot setback; whereas, the Maguire Corridor has a 35 foot setback, both of which were established and approved with the Master Plan. Member Mellen asked about Page 12 under "Table 2.0 Building Type Requirements" referring to the "Minimum Unit Size" stating "n/a (non applicable)." He stated it was his understanding the minimum new home size within the city is 1700 or 1800 feet, and inquired if new homes within these districts will not have a required minimum square footage. Tara Salmieri explained these standards were established and approved with the Master Plan. Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless clarified that flexibility within these types of overlay developments are essential, because the majority of this overlay is mixed-use; however, the site will dictate the form, size and criteria. Chair Keller asked why duplexes are not listed as permitted building types within the Gateway District. Tara Salmieri indicated this standard is from the approved Master Plan; however, a revision to the Master Plan can always be recommended by this Board. Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless explained as the Master Plan was evolving duplexes were not a desired building form; whereas, the character and vertical nature of townhomes were a more desired type of building specifically within the Gateway District. Chair Keller inquired about the permitted building types within the Silver Star Corridor District, because it states, "Uses range for single family residential, multifamily and commercial suited within the district," but a"house" is not listed under "Permitted Building Types." Tara Salmieri clarified that the purpose of the district should state, "Uses range for attached single family residential." Chair Keller asked if restaurants will be excluded from the Downtown Neighborhood District, because they are not listed as a permitted building type. Tara Salmieri explained that the "Permitted Building Types" is not a use. The permitted building types for the Downtown Neighborhood District are house, duplex and townhouse, which is a building style, not a use. She stated Staff is currently developing the Use Table for this particular district, which may include restaurant uses in a house, duplex or townhouse building style. Chair Keller moved to Section 6-16.4 (Facade Standards) F(5)(c) (Outdoor Dining) with regards to "Removeable Barriers," stating he believes most removeable barriers do not look the best to which he requested a more permanent barrier be put in place. Tara Salmieri indicated that staff can look into that, but the removeable barrier provides flexibility as the outdoor seating will be within the right-of-way. Vice-Chair Williams suggested that a narrative in layman's terms explaining the future development be put in place to help the community understand the evolving process of the overlays. Tara Salmieri indicated that is a current goal and the reason why the quick glance 6 Planning&Zoning Commission June 11,2019 tables were created. Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless added that staff has discussed the very cumbersome task of going through the LDC, and the reason why the user-friendly quick glance tables were created along with making an educational information tool with the overlays. Chair Keller opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present who wishes to speak on this proposed project. Dana Fasset, 13127 Shore Drive, Winter Garden, stated she is a real estate broker with a current listing adjacent to the Ocoee Cemetery. She is trying to figure out what can be done with this property that is for sale. She would like the City to tell her what can or cannot be done with this particular parcel; and further, she suggested that the City should purchase this property to expand the cemetery. Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless suggested the speaker call her to make an appointment to meet with her. Chair Keller closed the public hearing. (7:31 pm) Motion: Move that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, recommend to the Ocoee City Commission Approval of Amending the Ocoee Land Development Code (LDC) Implementing Zoning Criteria for the Downtown Overlay & SR 429 Overlay Districts, subject to resolution of the remaining staff comments before the City Commission meeting; Moved by Member Wunderlich, Seconded by Vice-Chair Williams; motion passed unanimously. V. MISCELLANEOUS (7:32 pm) A. Project Status Report Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless said she has no updates at this time and asked if there were any questions • Member Wunderlich asked how 4 Locos Taco is coming along.
