Gore Street, east of S. Rio Grande Avenue, and west of Mack Avenue. The larger +/-0.14 ac. property, which includes the +/-0.11 ac. amendment site, is developed with a single family residential house. The larger property has split future land use designations of Residential Low Intensity and Office Low Intensity and split zoning classifications of R-2A and O-1. To allow future redevelopment, the applicant is requesting to change the future land use designation on the +/-0.11 ac. site from Residential Low Intensity to Office Low Intensity and rezone the site from R-2A to O-1. Pursuant to the proposed changes, the larger +/-0.14 acre property will have a consistent future land use of Office Low Intensity and O-1 zoning. Conceptual development plans have been submitted which address the conversion of the vacant house to a 23- child daycare facility. An agreement with the owner of the 1512 W. Gore Street property to the north, allowing access and parking for the proposed daycare use, will optimize the function of the site. (See zoning discuss on page 8.) Previous Actions September 1923: Pansy Addition Subdivision was approved and includes the subject site which is comprised of portions of Lots 3,4,5, and : +/-1,343 sq. ft. single family house is built. 1959: Zoning map from this time period shows that certain lots have R-2 zoning. 1998: A portion of certain lots were rezoned to O-1. Project Context and Land Use Compatibility As shown in the table below, the +/-0.11 ac. amendment site is surrounded by older, established single family residential uses to the south and south-east, commercial and medical office uses to the north and north-east, while across the multilane S. Rio Grande Avenue, to the west, is a large parking area (Mears). To the north-west of the amendment area is +/ ac. of the subject property with Office-Low Intensity future land use. (See map on page 2). The requested Office Low Intensity future land use designation allows for office, public, recreational and institutional as well as residential uses, including daycare. The subject site is developed with a vacant residential structure which would be allowed in the Office Low Intensity future land use designation. The proposed change will also allow the larger property to have a consistent future land use designation of the Office Low Intensity future land use. As shown by the analysis, the requested future land use designation, associated zoning of O-1 and proposed daycare use are compatible with the surrounding development.

As provided in Chapter 163, small scale

5 Page 5 P R O J E C T A N A LY S I S amendments require only one public hearing before City Council (the adoption hearing) and are not subject to review by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Division of Community Planning unless challenged by an affected party within 30 days of the adoption hearing. If not challenged, the amendment is effective 31 days after the adoption. Analysis and Conformance with the GMP The requested amendment to change the future land use designation of the +/ 0.11 acre subject site from Residential Low Intensity to Office Low Intensity is consistent with the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Objective 2.3 and Policy of the Future Land Use Element provide standards relating to development outside of activity centers and mixed use corridors. Policy states: Standards for land use categories outside of activity centers and mixed-use corridors shall be shown in Figure LU-1. The densities and intensities established in Figure LU-1 for land use categories outside of activity centers and mixed use corridors shall not be altered except by amendment of this Growth Management Plan. The intensity of use allowed on land outside of activity centers and mixed use corridors shall be based on: a)appropriate topography, soil conditions, and the availability of facilities and services; redevelopment and renewal of blighted areas; elimination or reduction of uses inconsistent with the community s character and future land uses; protection of natural resources and historic resources; and discouragement of urban sprawl; b)compatibility with existing development in the area; and c)the public services and facilities which exist or are available to the location, based upon the policies of the Capital Improvement Element and the City s Concurrency Management System. Each future land use designation has an upper and lower range of allowable intensities and densities. The typical maximum intensity of development allowed by the Office Low Intensity future land use designation is 0.40 FAR and the maximum density is 21 du/acre and there are no minimums. The subject site is developed with a single family home and the proposed use is a child daycare. The vacant single family home when converted to a daycare would have a FAR of Allowable uses, are addressed on page 4. At the time of redevelopment the property will be required to meet these development standards. Future Land Use Policy also applies and is as follows: Where possible, existing neighborhoods should be retrofitted with neighborhood-serving civic uses (parks, recreation centers, library branches, schools, day care, etc.) which offer opportunities for building community, but which do not unnecessarily dislocate viable existing housing stock. Accordingly, the proposed future land use change and proposed child daycare use are consistent with Future Land Use Objective 2.3 and Policy Related rezoning to O-1 is addressed on page 8. Public Facilities Analysis State law requires the City to perform a public facilities evaluation for GMP amendments that would increase the allowable density or intensity of a property. The proposed GMP amendment to change the future land use designation to Office Low Intensity would permit densities and intensities on the subject property more than that permitted under the existing Residential Low Intensity future land use designation. This evaluation assumes that the property is developed at the maximum intensity and density allowed by each future land use category. Typically, sites are developed at a lesser intensity, so these impacts represent an upper limit, rather than a true projection of demand. Each year, the City prepares the Capacity Availability Report (CAR) to identify any surpluses or deficiencies in the ability to provide public services. The CAR also accounts for future population and employment growth consistent with the City s adopted future land use categories. Because the growth associated with this GMP amendment was not included in the growth projections, this analysis is performed to ensure capacity is available to serve the development. Projected Demand Evaluation 1 This theoretical evaluation considered the impact of developing the site at the maximum intensity and density permitted by the existing Residential Low Intensity future land use designation (+/-0.11 acre (or 4,792 sq FAR and +/ du/ac.= +/-1,438 sq. ft. of public, recreational and institutional uses and 1 dwelling unit).

6 Page 6 Evaluation 2 This theoretical evaluation considered the impact of developing the site at the maximum intensity and density permitted by the proposed Office Low Intensity future land use designation (+/ FAR and +/ du/ac.= +/-1,916 sq. ft. of office uses and 2 dwelling units). Net Increase The maximum theoretical net increase in development capacity is +/-478 sq. ft. of office uses and 1 du which constitutes a de minimus increase. Accordingly, so no further analysis as it concerns public facilities is required. Environmental Conditions Conservation Element Policy states that all projects requiring Municipal Planning Board (MPB) and City Council review shall provide an Environmental Assessment. Developments exempt from this requirement include those located within the Urbanized Disturbed Lands area shown in Figure C-1 of the Conservation Element. According to Figure C- 1, the subject property is located inside the Urbanized Disturbed Lands area and is therefore exempt from this requirement. School Capacity Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) have two school review processes. The Capacity Enhancement Process (CEP) applies to land use approvals, including GMP amendments, that increase residential density. The concurrency process applies to all residential development that is not deminimis or previously vested through a DRI Development Order or other agreement. The site is currently developed and no future residential development is being proposed. As shown in the GMP analysis, addressing the +/-0.11 ac. future land use amendment site, the impact is deminimis and does not trip the review threshold.

8 Page 8 Zoning Analysis The +/-0.11 ac. subject rezoning site has a zoning classification of R-2A. It is part of a larger +/-0.14 acre property with split zoning of O-1 and R-2A. The site is developed with a vacant +/-1,343 sq. ft. one story, single family home. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to O-1 to allow a 23 child daycare facility, which is consistent with the proposed Office Low Intensity future land use designation. Consistency with the Land Development Code Section of the LDC requires that the Municipal Planning Board and City Council consider several factors when reviewing zoning map amendment (rezoning) requests. With the exception of the requirement that the proposed rezoning be consistent with all applicable substantive requirements of the LDC (Chapters 58 through 66), all other considerations have been addressed in the GMP Amendment analysis portion of this report (Case #GMP ). Purpose of the O-1 District Section of the LDC identifies the purpose of the O-1, O-2 and O-3 Office and Residential zoning district as follows: The O-1, O-2 and O-3 districts are intended to provide for flexibility in building and site design in locations where development or redevelopment of offices or a mixture of offices and housing is desired. The O-2 and O -3 districts are also intended to allow a fringe of declining intensity adjacent to activity centers. The O- 1 district is intended to encourage offices of a scale and design compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods. The proposed rezoning and daycare use are consistent with the purpose of the O-1 zoning district. Uses and Bufferyard Allowable uses in the O-1 zoning district include residential, office and public benefit. Child daycares are allowed in the O-1 zoning district, in excess of 31 persons. The proposed 23 child facility is a permitted use but must meet all pertinent building and engineering code requirements. Per the conceptual site plan, the existing building footprint will not be expanded and thus will be in scale, and compatible in design, with abutting properties. The site is partially fenced with a six foot wooden fence generally along the rear yard perimeter while a chain link fence is sited along certain portions of the southern side yard. To further protect residential uses to the south and south-east, from the proposed daycare, a Bufferyard B will be installed. (See drawing on page 10). Additional fencing and a playground are also to be sited in the rear yard to meet daycare site control and recreation needs (no details provided).

Setbacks In O-1: Setbacks include 25 feet front yard, 10 feet side yard, and 30 feet rear yard. Per best available survey information, the subject parcel has a 21.4 feet front yard, a 46.5 feet rear yard, a 3.4 feet northern side yard and a 8.2 feet southern side yard. Access and Parking Vehicular and pedestrian access to the site is from Rio Grande Avenue. The proposed +/-1,343 sq. ft. daycare (a 23 child

9 Gore Street 104 feet Page 9 facility) will require a maximum of four parking spaces. One of these spaces must be a handicapped space. There are nine existing parking spaces ( including one handicapped space) on the 1512 W. Gore Street site. As part of the proposed Cross Access and Parking Easement Agreement between the two property owners, four of the eight regular spaces shall be used by the 907 S. Rio Grande Avenue site. Per Transportation Planning, the existing handicapped space may be shared by both sites. (See conceptual site plan for site access and parking information). Signage Per LDC , signs are allowed in the O-1 zoning district. A total sign area of one (1) square foot for each four (4) lineal feet of primary building frontage, up to a maximum of twenty-four (24) square feet shall be allowed. No sign information was provided with the rezoning application. Final Site Plan Review and Cross Access and Parking Easement Agreement An approval of the proposed future land use amendment and rezoning does not constitute site plan approval. Consistent with LDC Sec Purpose of Final Site Plan Review, a review will required at the time of building permit application. As part of this process, a determination application shall be submitted to the zoning official demonstrating that the proposed daycare use (907 S. Rio Grande Ave.) has adequate access and parking through a recorded cross access and parking easement agreement with the 1512 W. Gore St. property. A preliminary agreement was provided as part of the application but will be revised to include a legal description and relevant site plan information. Per Chapter 58 Figure 3- Land Use Intensity Table, while the proposed daycare use, as part of the rezoning to O-1, does not constitute a change of use, the site must meet all applicable building code requirements.

Engineering Standards: The City Council Adopted the Engineering Standards Manual (ESM), Fourth Edition on March 9, All plans must conform to the ESM and all construction must be accomplished in accordance to the ESM. Orlando Police Department 1. Recommendation: The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for the Daycare located at 907 S. Rio Grande Ave., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of a created environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening. 2. Natural Surveillance: Design the site to keep intruders easily observable. This is promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking areas and building entrances; doors and windows that look out onto streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and street; porches or patios and adequate nighttime lighting. i) A photometric plan was not available at the time of this review. Lighting plays a very important role in CPTED. It is crucial that lighting sends the right messages to the public about the safe and appropriate use of space at different times of the day and night. ii) All lighting for this project shall meet or exceed the guidelines in Orlando City Code, Title II, Chapter 63. In order to create a sense of safety, pedestrian-scale lighting should be used in all high-pedestrian traffic areas throughout the property to include building and parking entrances, common areas and walkways. iii) Appropriate lighting should be included in all areas anticipated to be used after-dark. Lighting should not be screened out by landscaping or building structures such as overhangs or awnings. Uniformity of light is crucial to avoid 'dark' spots, especially in parking areas. iv) Any illumination shall not cause a glare or excessive brightness that adversely affects the vision of pedestrians or motor vehicle operators on public or private property. v) Pedestrian walkways and common areas should be lit so that a person with normal vision is able to identify a face from a distance of 30 feet during nighttime hours. vi) The use of full cut-off or shielded light fixtures can direct light where it is intended while reducing light trespass, glare, and waste. vii) Lighting fixtures should be reliable, easy to maintain, withstand the elements, and be vandal-resistant. viii) Landscaping is another crucial aspect of CPTED. Low-growing shrubs are an excellent means for defining an area that requires visual surveillance. ix) All shrubs should be kept trimmed to no higher than 2 ½ feet and should not block windows. x) Tree branches should be kept trimmed to a minimum of 6 feet from the ground; branches should be kept away from roofs; trees should not prevent building occupants from viewing entrances, sidewalks or parking areas; tree canopies should not interfere with lighting or mechanical surveillance. xi) A maintenance plan is essential in landscaping. x) Exterior, non-public doors should contain 180 viewers/peep holes or small windows with security glass. xi) All sides of the buildings should contain windows to facilitate surveillance of allies, walkways, and common areas. xii) Benches or outdoor furniture placed in common areas are a good way to increase surveillance and encourage

13 Page 13 INFORMATION FOR PERMIT REVIEW interaction. Consider furniture designs that encourage stopping and resting but reduce opportunities for potential offenders (i.e. a ribbed design rather than solid and center rails or arm rests to discourage sleeping). xiii) Bicycle parking (if installed) should be observable from building entrances, securely fastened and not hidden behind landscaping. 3.Natural Access Control: Design the site to decrease crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in offenders, a perception of risk. This can be accomplished by designing streets, alleys, sidewalks, building and parking entrances to clearly indicate public routes and discourage access to private areas with structural and landscape elements. i) Entrances should be clearly defined by walkways, signs, and landscaping. Landscaping used around entrances should create clear way-finding, be well lit and not block entrances or create ambush points. ii) There should be no easy access to the roofs. iii) Way-finding can help guide users to authorized areas while discouraging potential offenders. iv) Traffic calming techniques as well as surface and gateway treatments can encourage safe vehicle speeds, reduce collision frequency and increase the safety and the perception of safety for non-motorized users. v) Walkways should be a minimum 6' in width to enhance pedestrian flow. 4. Territorial Reinforcement: Design can create or extend a sphere of influence, where users develop a sense of territorial control, while potential offenders are discouraged. This is promoted by incorporating features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces such as; landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments and CPTED open design (see-through) fences. i) The property should be designed to encourage interaction between neighbors. ii) Fencing can add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive, and create a sense of community. CPTED open style fencing is a good option to consider. Another option is landscape buffers, which include hostile vegetation, to delineate public from private spaces. The fencing and landscape buffer may be used together to further define and control spaces. iii) Maintenance is an important aspect of territorial reinforcement. A well-maintained area sends the message that people notice and care about what happens in an area. This in turn discourages vandalism and other crimes. 5. Target Hardening: This can be accomplished by features that prohibit entry or access such as window locks, dead bolts for doors and interior door hinges. i) Exterior doors should contain impact-resistant glass, security glass, or 180 viewers/peep holes, interior hinges, single cylinder deadbolt locks with a minimum two-inch throw, metal frames with 3" screws in the strike plates, and be made of solid core construction. ii) Door locks should be located a minimum of 40 inches from adjacent windows. iii) All windows that open should have locks. iv) Sliding glass doors (if installed) should have one permanent door on the outside and the inside moving door should have a docking device and a pin. v) Air conditioner units should be caged and the cages should be securely locked at all times. vi) If an alarm or security system is installed, it should be regularly tested and maintained by the occupants. vii) A security camera system capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and apprehension may be a consideration. Security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identification ("aiming" down at sharp angles often results in images of the offender's hat). CCTVs may also be placed in several locations along the allies or common areas, especially areas with limited or no natural surveillance. viii) Large glass doors and windows should be made of impact resistant glass or a security film (such as Lexan ). If installing security film, ensure that the light transmittance of the security film is greater than or equal to the light transmittance of the window's glass. ix) Additional precautions should be discussed with OPD's Crime Prevention Unit Officer Joseph Lundy, Construction Site Crime Prevention: Due to the continued trend of theft of building materials and equipment from construction sites, Orlando Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit strongly recommends that the developer institute the following crime prevention/security measures at this project site:

14 Page 14 INFORMATION FOR PERMIT REVIEW i) Post signs at the site that theft from the site or trespassing on a construction site is a felony under Florida Law and that the developer will prosecute. ii) To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum of 150 foot intervals and at a height not less than fifteen (15') from the ground. The light source used should have a minimum light output of 2,000 lumens, shall be protected by a vandal resistant cover, and shall be lighted during the hours of darkness. iii) In addition to lighting, one of the following physical security measures should be installed: iv) Fencing, not less than six (6') feet in height, which is designed to preclude human intrusion, should be installed along the perimeter boundaries of the site and should be secured with chain and fire department padlocks for emergency vehicle access; post in a clear area, an emergency contact person and phones numbers for after hours, in case of an emergency; or v) A uniformed security guard should be hired to continually patrol the construction site during the hours when construction work has ceased. vi) Valuable construction materials and tools should be protected in a secondary fenced, locked cage. vii) Post in a clean, open area, the name and numbers of an emergency contact person for OPD in case of a nighttime emergency. viii) If you have any questions, please call the Crime Prevention Unit Officer Joseph Lundy, CONTACT INFORMATION Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Land Development Review For questions regarding GMP and Land Development review issues contact Mary-Stewart Droege at (407) or mary-stewart.droege@cityoforlando.net.
