OF 6000�'` CITY MANAGER ELLIS SHAPIRO SRP-432 STAFF REPORT DATE: May 16, 1994 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Cit Commissioners FROM: Russ Wagner, Director of Planning SUBJ : Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Lake Lotta Mall Case No. CPA-1-9-93 ISSUE: Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners transmit the proposed Lake Lotta Mall Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Case No. CPA-1-9-93) to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment? BACKGROUND: Homart Development Co . recently received conditional approval of the Lake Lotta Mall DRI from the East Central Florida Regional Planning Commission. This project is located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Clarke Road and S.R. 50 in Ocoee . As part of the required review and approval process for a Development of Regional Impact (DRI ) , a concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) must be submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) when any Future Land Use Map changes are required to accommodate the project . Such CPA' s are exempt from the normal twice-a-year restriction for submission of regular Land Use Map changes , and the Public Hearing to approve these CPA's must be held at the same meeting as that for DRI approvals . The transmittal of a proposed Amendment to DCA does not confer approval of the Land Use Map change by the City. The Public Hearing to consider actual adoption of the Amendment is only scheduled after an Objections , Recommendations and Comment Report (ORC) is received back from DCA. Additionally, detailed PUD and subdivision plan reviews will be undertaken for the project prior to final action on the DRI Development Order and CPA applications . Accordingly, there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion on all local planning issues before any final approvals are considered, and all DRI , CPA and PUD approvals will be dependent upon each other . Lake Lotta Mall , Case No . CPA-1-9-93 May 16, 1994 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The attached Amendment prepared by the developer ' s consultant identifies the actual land use modifications necessary to make the DRI project consistent with the overall Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, various policies contained with the Comprehensive Plan which support the proposed change are identified, and an evaluation of public facilities availability is also outlined recognizing that the actual DRI Application provides back-up documentation for such issues as traffic , environmental issues , utilities , etc . Specifically, the applicant proposes to change 118 . 1 acres on the Future Land Use Map from High Density Residential ( 60 . 4 ac . ) , Medium Density Residential ( 37 . 3 ac . ) , and Low Density Residential ( 20 . 4 ac . ) to Commercial . As documented in the evaluation, such a change is conceptually consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan including pending amendments , and represents only a small portion of the future Commercial land use need identified within the Plan. If specific plans and a detailed Development Order are approved for the project , the proposed change will permit the development to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION: The Local Planning Agency (Planning and Zoning Commission) met on May 12 , 1994 and held a Public Hearing on the proposed amendment . After hearing presentations by the developer and receiving comments from three interested residents , the Agency voted unanimously to recommend that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Lake Lotta Mall (Case No. 1-9-93) be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The DRC met on April 29 , 1994 and unanimously recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Lake Lotta Mall (Case No. 1-9-93) be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment .

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The purpose of the proposed amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map for the project site to Commercial. The site is currently designated as part of the SR 50/East- West Expressway/Clarke Road Activity Center, but has low density, medium density and high density residential land uses assigned to various parts of the site in addition to the commercial designation which already applies to a portion of the site. The current Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designations breakdown as follows: High Density Residential 60.4± acres Medium Density Residential 37.3±acres Low Density Residential 20.4± acres Commercial 11.9± acres The commercial designation must be applied to the full site in order to accommodate the regional mall project that is proposed. The existing and proposed FLUM designations are shown on Exhibit 2. The project site is part of the area known as the Lake Lotta Planned Development approved November 22, 1988. The Lake Lotta Planned Development was approved for commercial, residential and professional office uses. Since the approval of the Planned Development, the extension of the East-West Expressway to State Road 50 and the construction of Clarke Road, have been completed. In addition, in 1991, the City of Ocoee adopted its Comprehensive Plan which provided a vision for the development of this area. The improvement to the roadway network and the vision for this area as contemplated by the City's Comprehensive Plan have prompted this request. No changes are proposed or required to the text or the various goals, objectives and policies of the plan. Appropriate policies in support of the proposed project are already included in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. A legal description of the project site is included as Exhibit 3. The proposed FLUM change covers the full site less the area already designated as Commercial. B. LAND USE The site is designated as part of the SR 50/East-West Expressway/Clarke Road Activity Center and Interchange Impact Area. As part of the impact zone of this major intersection, the project site is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as one of the major nodes of employment. Transit and pedestrian access are to be promoted in Activity Centers. Transit service is available to serve the site and pedestrian access will be facilitated through the provision of pedestrian facilities. The proximity of the site to substantial residential areas will also encourage pedestrian access. 3 I I LAKE LOTTA MALL Case Number CPA-1-9-93 I Exhibit 2 I Imimmou atiiirmiram., 0 I N tliM0111 I CI e 1 0 Mill I I , 0 I 0 I IA L i - -, • Lkb‘lit'' 1 r r k '',/4 --.,-'4., / ijoie, ---Dy a r. ir••- "A'gr7--.4757°; ,.;ic-\ ''111 1 1,ls-lk • el -"'"—,f,..././/.04,..\., 0.7,.. , ,, I , . - .. ..... \ ', P IIIIIIIIIhks iiii \ ----__ _— City of Ocoee's Furure Land Use Map (2010) Proposed Change to the Future uS1 17ar:RESUS7e Map: 1 i I Legend I Law UERSITY RES•ofi41.• ( < •DU/Aalr) I R lmf:OluA WW1' f-SOCHI.

McIntosh Associates, Inc. 5 Land use impacts of the project on residential areas will be mitigated throughthe P adjacent8 establishment of buffers consistent with requirements of the Land Development Code and as designated through the PUD approval process. The Future Land Use Element indicates that there are 310.9 acres of existing commercial land use and a projected commercial land use need of 486 acres in the year 2000 and 757 acres by the year 2010. While other lands within the City will vie to supply portions of the projected commercial acreage need in the form of neighborhood and community centers, only the subject project is proposed to be developed to meet the regional commercial needs. Policies of the Future Land Use Element that support the proposed project are as follows: Policy 1.4 The City shall allow mixed uses in the Special Strategy Areas (SSA's)which include the Downtown Area, the Interchange Impact Areas, and Activity Centers, and shall use strict design criteria to provide an attractive appearance and to offset negative impacts, i.e., sprawling development patterns and the proliferation of strip commercial development. Policy 2.3 The City shall require development to have adequate services and facilities available prior to or concurrent with the impacts of the development, consistent with adopted standards. Services and facilities include: potable water, sanitary sewer, drainage, solid waste, roads, and parks. This policy shall be implemented through the Concurrency Management System as defined in the Capital Improvements Element. Policy 3.1 The City shall require special development plans for Interchange Impact Areas, Downtown Redevelopment Areas and Activity Centers. Policy 6.1 The City shall develop standards in land development regulations that require buffer zones to protect new and established residential areas adjacent to new and established non- residential, uses. Buffer zones shall be defined within the land development regulations, based on the following guidelines: 1. "low" buffers between low-rise (two stories or less) office or multi-family uses and single family areas, consisting of a minimum of twelve (12)feet of buffer area supplemented by berms, walls, and/or fences, and landscaping; 6 2. "medium" buffers between retail commercial or high-rise (over two stories) office and any residential use, consisting of a minimum of twenty-five(25) feet of buffer area supplemented by berms, walls and/or fences, and landscaping; 3. "high" buffers between any industrial use and any residential use, consisting of a minimum of fifty(50) feet of buffer area supplemented by berms, walls, and/or fences, and landscaping. C.

Objective 1.3 Future and existing development patterns shall effectively utilize the present wastewater facilities and available capacity. Objective 1.4 Wastewater facility plans and programs shall be designed to avoid urban sprawl, through the 5-Year Capital Improvements Program. The "infilling" of urban areas shall be directed to locations where an existing wastewater collection network is available and where treatment capacity is inadequate or to areas where funds have been committed for the provision of adequate capacity. Policy 1.4.1 Wastewater facility plans and programs shall be designed and coordinated in a manner which will support the Urban Service Area growth management concept, avoiding urban sprawl. 7 Policy 1.4.2 Future growth at urban densities or intensities will be encouraged to locate in areas which have existing or planned wastewater capacity. Throughout the planning period, the City shall maximize the use of existing facilities in the service area so as to discourage urban sprawl. No development permits will be issued for new development which will result in increased demand on public facilities, beyond their design capacities based on adopted LOS standards. D. POTABLE WATER Potable water service is available and will be provided to the project. The service network is in place for this area. Sufficient capacity is available and has been reserved. 1 The proposed project is consistent with the following Objective and Policies of the Potable Water Sub-Element of the Comprehensive Plan: Objective 1.1 The City of Ocoee shall direct development to maximize use of the present water system and utilize available capacity. Policy 1.1.2 The provision of central water service is intended to serve as a growth management tool in that these systems shall be expanded only in the designated reserved planning boundary area. The priority of service provision shall be as follows: A. Service to existing areas that present either an immediate threat to public health or safety, or produce serious pollution problems; B. Maintenance or upgrading of the existing water systems to meet or exceed adopted level of service standards; and C.

Policy 2.9 All stormwater management systems shall provide for the safe handling of all stormwater runoff that flows into, across and is discharged from a development without creating any additional flooding to adjacent property owners. G. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION The project site is located at one of the key, high capacity intersections in the City, consisting of SR 50, the East-West Expressway and Clarke Road. The proposed project will not be allowed to cause the area roadway network to operate below the adopted level-of-service standards. The impact of the project's traffic on the area's roadway was evaluated in the Lake Lotta Mall Development of Regional Impact. The traffic analysis was reviewed by all applicable agencies. The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council recommended approval of the Lake Lotta Mall DRI with conditions to offset road impacts, assuring protection of adopted LOS standards. The project will be required to meet the City's Concurrency Management System's standards. The total system forecasts for Year 2000 contained in the Lake Lotta Project Traffic Impact Study were compared to the daily traffic projections reported in Table 15 of the Traffic Circulation Element of the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan. The projections contained in the Lake Lotta Project traffic study are consistent with the projections reported in the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan. Future monitoring and modeling of traffic conditions will be required as stipulated in the DRI conditions of approval. Right-of-way for the future widening of Clarke Road is being provided by the project. Policies of the Traffic Circulation Element that support the proposed project are as follows: Policy 1.1 The City shall require roadway designs which provide for public safety and preserved operating capacity by: a. ensuring that all plans conform to the Florida Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance for Streets and Highways, 10 C b. controllingdirect access location from driveways and local roads throughthe site Y plan approval process using Rules 14-96 and 14-97, F.A.C. and other Standard Engineering References, c. minimizing conflicts between motor vehicle and pedestrian.
