3 I. Lake Flores Large Project Standards & General Development Plan December 3, 2014 Manatee County, Florida Page ii Introduction Lake Flores is a Large Project of +/-1,322 acres proposed for rezoning in Manatee County. The vision for Lake Flores is to be a model infill district with a mix of uses to allow residents to meet their everyday needs without having to leave the site and to allow some residents to work on the site as well. Lake Flores is anticipated to build out over a 20 year period. The project will enhance West Bradenton by providing new living, working, lodging, and entertainment options. An Urban Land Institute Advisory panel described: the development of [the Lake Flores] site as mixed-use development with new types of retail and housing products would be a game-changer for the county. The community will be designed to encourage residents to walk, bicycle, drive neighborhood electric vehicles, and take advantage of transit options with streets designed to slow traffic and buildings and homes located close to sidewalks. This is consistent with the County s How Might We Grow Vision which recommended: Remove barriers to mixed uses, along with a mixture of building types, supported by pedestrian-friendly, walkable communities along transit routes. Infrastructure improvements will likely focus on increasing opportunities for walking, cycling and transit. Remove barriers for more urban-like characteristics (i.e., greater building heights, setbacks/build-to lines, mix of uses horizontally & vertically, allow transit oriented designs, reduce parking requirements, etc.) Lake Flores will also provide new options to existing residents of West Manatee County so that they can travel shorter distances to take advantage of shopping and entertainment options. This is consistent with the County s desire to use infill development as a strategy to reduce per capita impact on the transportation system by decreasing trip lengths. The current rezoning request is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation as a Mixed Use Community MU-C. The current request is to rezone to PDMU which is intended to allow a flexible approach to encourage mixed-use, innovative land use techniques, creative urban design, environmental protections and the judicious use of sustainable development practices and principles for large scale developments. The proposed rezoning application is accompanied by a General Development Plan which would allow 6,500 housing units, 3,000,000 square feet of non-residential development, and 500 hotel rooms. This is less than the comprehensive plan amendment proposal of 8,500 units and 4,000,000 square feet of non-residential. This development proposal is also consistent with Manatee County Comprehensive plan s goal of limiting urban sprawl, providing a predictable and functional urban form, encouraging development in the existing core areas and using existing public facilities in a cost efficient manner (Goal 1.2).

7 II. Lake Flores Large Project Standards & General Development Plan December 3, 2014 Manatee County, Florida Page PLN 2 Planning Report 2. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS m. Historical or Archaeological Sites The Florida Division of Historical Resources responded to the County s 2010 CPA application which covered several different map amendments county-wide. None of the sites of concern identified by the Division were on or related to the Lake Flores site. Florida Division of Historical Resources for a Florida Master Site File TRS Search is attached. See attached Exhibit 7 which shows the 1990 Archaeological Probability Map obtained from the County with the subject site boundary. The site has been highly disturbed by over 50 years of continuous commercial agricultural cultivation. q. Public Schools The Manatee County School District indicated they will produce a report upon request once application is made. r. Existing Passive and Active Recreational Facilities There are no existing recreational facilities on the site. 3. PROPOSED SITE DESIGN a. Development Phasing Plan a. Lake Flores is anticipated to build out over a twenty year period. The initial phase will be reflective of a robust mixed-use master planned community including a mix of commercial, multi-family housing, and single-family housing. Subsequent phases will proceed as market demand permits. We anticipate the first phase will include the excavation of the lake that will be known as Lake Flores. Because this is an infill project it is unknown whether retail segments or residential segments will be developed first. There is near-term opportunity in both segments. Phasing may also depend on decisions made on adjacent properties. A general phasing plan based upon location of construction is normally not applicable to an infill project of this nature. The fact that the basic transportation and utility infrastructure is in place and will only require modification or extension allows development to progress in an orderly fashion on several fronts at the same time or separately. Generally, the independent areas are defined as retail/commercial along Cortez Road; residential and town center west of El Conquistador North; residential along 53 rd Avenue west and El Conquistador Parkway and uses compatible with IMG along the eastern boundary between 53 rd Avenue West and El Conquistador Parkway and uses compatible with IMG along the eastern project boundary between 53 rd Avenue West and El Conquistador Parkway. Market demand will determine the geographic phases, consequently, phasing flexibility is the paramount consideration for the Lake Flores infill project. c. Master Development Plan See Table 1, Exhibit 4: General Development Plan, and Appendix A Design Code. f. Proposed on-site safety facilities or services The majority of Lake Flores will be served by public roadways and will not be accessed by gates, however there may be small areas that could be gated as the market demands. Individual homes may be prewired for elective use of private alarm systems. CANIN JOB NO

Results of archeological or historical survey if available. If the Florida Division of Historical Resources requires an archaeological survey in association with Corps permitting it will be performed at that time. 5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION a. Public School facilities within the project No public school facilities are proposed at this time. b. Estimate of School Age Children The Manatee County School District indicated they will produce a report upon request once application is made. c. Manatee County School Board The Manatee County School District indicated they will produce a report upon request once application is made. d. Indicate school facilities/site to be dedicated to the Manatee County School Board No school facilities are currently proposed to be dedicated to the Manatee County School Board. e. Private or proprietary schools planned There are no private schools currently planned for the site, however as a major mixed use development Lake Flores proposes to allow the possibility for private schools in the future. f. On-site recreation dedicated to Manatee County The project anticipates maintaining ownership of all parks and recreations facilities within its boundaries. g. On-site recreation not dedicated to Manatee County The development will include a variety of open spaces and trails. A Multi-Modal Trail (Exhibit 5B) for recreation, exercise, and transportation is planned to extend from the eastern border of the property through the Neighborhood and Borough areas where the majority of residences will be located to the District area where the majority of businesses and retail will be located. The trail will serve as a linear park including a paved trail and unpaved running trail in some locations and will accommodate activities such as bicycling, walking, running, and roller-blading. A central lake-focused park bordering the District and Borough will be a key feature of the development and will be accessible to visitors of the retail portions of the development as well as residents. The lake will be approximately 19 acres surrounded by a lakefront walking trail and park as shown in the General Development Plan (Exhibit 4). More than 200 acres of lakes will serve as passive open space. The edges of lakes will be designed to build on their value as open space with adjacent path, parks, and landscaping. Every 160 acre development area will include or be adjacent to at least one Square, Green, or Plaza. Additional pocket parks and playgrounds will be provided in various locations across the development. The parks and open spaces will be managed by one or more property associations. They will open concurrent with adjacent development. CANIN JOB NO

9 II. Lake Flores Large Project Standards & General Development Plan December 3, 2014 Manatee County, Florida Page PLN 4 Other: Affordable Housing - Lake Flores will provide a variety of housing options including multifamily and a range of single family options including cottages and attached dwelling. Lake Flores seeks a flexible approach to development standards in order to be able to provide the missing middle of housing types ranging from small single-family to duplexes, and small multi-family buildings. As a large development it will be essential for Lake Flores to appeal to buyers and residents at a variety of price points. In addition there is a substantial amount of current housing nearby to the Lake Flores site at values less than $200,000 providing an ample supply of existing housing accessible to workforce households. Site Drainage and Easements The site drains to seven outfalls as detailed in the Engineering report (Exhibit 2E). Of these, four are owned by the applicant as shown on the General Development Plan (Exhibit 6) and Survey (Exhibit 2A). The fifth, and easternmost shown on Exhibit 6, is an easement. The remaining two are off-site. CANIN JOB NO
