Subject: Waiver Requests for Ocoee Professional Plaza SmaU-ScaleSite Plan
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Commissioners grant three waivers from the Land Development Code for
Ocoee Professional Plaza?
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Ocoee Professional Plaza site is located on the northeast corner of Silver Star Road and
Ridgefield Avenue. The property is currently vacant, zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Shopping District), and is
approximately 1.7 acres in size. The small-scale site plan proposes the construction of a 3-story office building
with a total building floor area of 22,884 square feet. In order to proceed with review of the small-scale site plan,
the applicant has requested three waivers from the requirements of the Land Development Code. Below is a
discussion of the three waivers that are being requested.
DISCUSSION:
The first waiver that is being requested is to Article VI, Section 6-14, C, (1), (a), v, and Article V, Table 5-2 of the
Land Development Code. These sections of the Land Development Code require a 50 feet building setback
along public primary roads. During the plan review process, the applicant indicated that they would dedicate
right-of-way along Silver Star Road. The proposed building is to be setback 30 feet from the new right-of-way
line. One of the four criteria that can be used as justification to allow the City Commission to grant waivers from
the criteria of the Land Development Code is if the project provides an offsetting public benefit which is
technically sound and measurable. As justification of the waiver request, the applicant has agreed to dedicate
20 feet wide right-of-way along Silver Star Road.
The second waiver that is being requested is to Article VI, Section 6-14, C, (2), (b), i of the Land Development
Code. This section of the Land Development Code requires a 25 feet wide landscape buffer along public
primary roads. There is a provision contained within this section that allows a reduction of this buffer to 15 feet
when deemed appropriate by the City. During the plan review process, the applicant indicated that they would
dedicate right-of-way along Silver Star Road in order to obtain a 15 feet landscape buffer along the portion of
the property that fronts Silver Star Road. One of the four criteria that can be used as justification to allow the
City Commission to grant waivers from the criteria of the Land Development Code is if the project provides an
offsetting public benefit which is technically sound and measurable. As justification of the waiver request, the
applicant has agreed to dedicate 20 feet wide right-of-way along Silver Star Road.
The third waiver that is being requested is to Article V, Table 5-2 of the Land Development Code. This section
of the Land Development Code requires a maximum building height of 45 feet for C-1, single family while only
35 feet for C-1, neighborhood shopping (commercial). Single-family height limits are normally considered 35
feet and 45 feet for commercial districts. Accordingly, the applicant is requesting a maximum building height of
45 feet. Staff believes this was a technical error to Article V, Table 5-2 and therefore supports this waiver.
Because a small-scale site plan is administratively reviewed, the City Commission will not be acting on the site
plan approval. The City Commission will be reviewing the waiver requests only. After the City Commission
takes action on the waiver requests, Staff will complete its review of the site plan, ensuring that it is consistent
with all Land Development Code requirements except for any waivers that may be approved by the City
Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the three waiver requests for
the Ocoee Professional Plaza, subject to the approval of the small-scale site plan.
