BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The proposed Thornebrooke Relief Elementary School is located on the east terminus of Tomyn Boulevard, north of the Cross Creek Subdivision, and west of the Florida Turnpike. The subject property is approximately 13.51 acres in size, zoned C-3 (General Commercial), and is currently vacant. The table below references the future land uses, zoning classifications and existing land uses of the surrounding parcels: Direction Future land Use Zoning Classification Existing land Use North Commercial General Commercial (C-3) Vacant East N/A N/A Florida Turnpike South Conservation I Flood Multiple-Family Dwelling City of Ocoee Water Treatment Plant Plane (R-3) West High Density Multiple-Family Dwelling The Villages ofWesmere Townhomes (R-3) The property was purchased by the Orange County School Board in 2004 with the intentions of building a relief school. The school will be constructed as a two-story classroom building with play fields and paved parking and driveways ' DISCUSSION: The Land Development Code defines Special Exception as a use that would not be appropriate without restrictions throughout the zoning division or district. However, if controlled as to number, area, location or relation to the neighborhood, would promote the public health. safety. welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, prosperity or general welfare, such uses would be appropriate. (Emphasis added). In accordance with Section 4-8.B. (2) of the Land Development Code, the proposed use must be considered in relation to the compatibility with the surrounding land uses, As previously mentioned in the table above, the surrounding land uses are commercial to the north and multiple-family to the west with a water treatment plant to the south and the Florida Turnpike on the east side. A school use will generate less impacts then a commercial use, The school site will provide the surrounding residents the opportunity to use the recreational facilities and open space during non school hours, The school's exterior colors will consist of a beige and terra cotta color that is cohesive with the multiple-family development to the west. Additionally, the proposed use is not anticipated to: . Violate the health, safety, welfare, and/or convenience of those working or owning land in the vicinity of the proposed use or structure . Impair pedestrian or vehicular movement in adjoining streets so as to violate adopted level of service standards . Result in noise, odor, glare, vibration, or other similar characteristic which is detectable at the property line and which exceeds the level which will result from permitted uses . Prevent an adjoining landowner from the legal use of his property pursuant to the Land Development Code . Violate a requirement of limitation of any applicable state or federal law or regulation . Exceed the applicable density or bulk regulations except as specifically authorized, nor shall the use or structure result in overcrowding of land or buildings . Create a fire hazard DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On May 1, 2007, the Development Review Committee (DRC) met to discuss the Special Exception for Thornebrooke Relief Elementary School. Jay Klima, Engineer for the applicant, was present at the meeting. The DRC discussed the School Board working in good faith to develop a site plan that is cohesive with the City of Ocoee's Land Development Code with respect to landscaping, shielded lighting fixtures with light poles painted black, and fencing painted black. The DRC also discussed keeping the open areas of the campus open for public access and use during non school hours. The applicant stated that is should not be a problem since they have included these provisions in other schools located within the city. The DRC then tied the proposed improvements to the approval of the special exception for the applicant. The DRC recommended the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the special exception application for Thornebrooke Relief Elementary subject to the following conditions: A. The Orange County School Board (OCSB) will work in good faith to develop a site plan that is cohesive with the City of Ocoee's Land Development Code with respect to landscaping, shielded lighting fixtures with light poles painted black, and fencing painted black. B. The City of Ocoee staff will have the opportunity to review the construction plans for the site prior to commencement of construction and the School Board will consider all comments in good faith. C. The OCSS will provide any necessary utility easements to the City of Ocoee. D. The OCSB will enter into an agreement with the City of Ocoee for use of recreational facilities and open space by the City of Ocoee Parks and Recreation Department. E. The OCSS will work with the City on the transfer of ownership of the pond to the City if it is mutually beneficial to both parties. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The proposed Special Exception of the Thornebrooke Relief Elementary School was reviewed at a Public Hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 8,2007. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the special exception for the Thornebrooke Relief Elementary School subject to the "Special Exception Conditions of Approval" from the DRC. 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the recommendations of the ORC and Planning & Zoning Commission, staff recommends that Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Special Exception for Thornebrooke Relief School, subject to the attached "Special Exception Conditions of Approval".
