1 MIXED USE Design Standards City of Oviedo

2 General Design Guidelines Produce a high quality living environment for all users. Enhance the relationship between new mixed-use development and public streets. Improve the pedestrian experience along the street level of mixed use buildings, through active building edges w/ retail and commercial uses. Create publicly accessible open spaces and plazas as key focal points and organizing features of the site. Maintain an appropriate overall scale and pattern of development within its context. Protect significant natural and man-made features such as mature vegetation, street trees, heritage trees and open space areas. Provide for density through an efficient and cost effective use of land.

5 Incentives to Comp Plan policies City standards focus on Comprehensive Plan Policies. The Comp Plan has policies that are required and policies that are encouraged If development meets policies encouraged (not required) by the Comp Plan, it will be eligible for density bonuses where applicable or will be eligible for deviation mitigation Encouraged Policies: Preserve > 25% of trees with caliper > 30 Provide complete public streets and civic spaces 25% of units addressing Communities for a lifetime (elevators or units at ground level) Low impact development engineering solutions 10% of guest parking spaces - charging stations for electric cars Solar energy solutions Health-design solutions: community gardens, bicycle lanes/trails

6 Site Design Streets/Sidewalks Connectivity and Safety New streets and sidewalks extended and integrated into the existing public street system Integrated pedestrian circulation network w/ public access Vehicle access points designed as streets and not as private driveways Urban block pattern lay-out All streets minimum width: 50 Internal driveway minimum width: 24 Minimum Sidewalk width: 8 Project > 30,000 sf: 2 access points Pedestrian and bike paths should be used where street connections to adjacent neighborhoods are infeasible

7 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Parking not visible Vibrant street Public spaces Corner differentiated Landscaped sidewalk network

8 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Desired Not Desired Landscaped sidewalk network Poor sidewalk network with no shade

9 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Desired Desired Galleries on sidewalk encouraged Benches, fountains and art at public ROW encouraged

10 Site Design Open Space Social integration and interaction At least 25% of the total site must be landscaped Open and recreational areas shall be centrally located and linked to pedestrian network Locate open spaces to visually extend the street into a site for safe pedestrian use Value topographic, natural and historic site features

11 Outdoor Spaces and Amenities Pedestrian amenities such as patios and plazas, landscaped mini-parks, squares or greens should be provided as amenities and may include seating, lighting, special paving, planting, food and flower vendors and artwork. Patios, plazas, mini-parks, squares and greens should be proportionate in size to the development. Small-scale amenities are appropriate for small developments, and large-scale amenities are appropriate for large developments. In order to serve as a focal point, a feature should be visible and easily recognizable as an area that encourages outdoor assembly. It may be framed by a view corridor, be placed on a high point, or be visually related to a multi-use trial or other walkway.

12 Outdoor Spaces and Amenities Examples Plazas, patios and squares are encouraged as public and semi-public spaces

13 Site Design Open Space/Recreation Social integration and interaction Desired Desired In mixed-use development, elevated ground level may be used for recreation Plazas, patios and squares are encouraged as semi-public spaces

14 Site Design Landscape Shade and greenery Preserve/protect existing healthy trees and green space Canopy street trees should be placed at a minimum of 50 interval. Alternatively, medium street trees may be allowed but the spacing is reduced to 30 Provide a minimum of 80% front yard landscaping when setback is required. Landscape in Zero setback will be provided in planters and street trees

15 Site Design Landscape Desired Not Desired Streets trees and planters humanize the pedestrian experience Uninspiring/dry site design

16 Site Design Infill projects Suburban free standing building New mixed-use construction wrapped around it

17 Site Design Lighting Safety and convenience Lighting fixtures shall be consistent throughout the development and should complement the architecture Areas used by pedestrians shall be illuminated at night to ensure safety in such areas: sidewalks, plazas, recreational areas, entrances, garbage disposal areas, alleys Site lighting shall be located and directed to light the intended area of illumination and to prevent off-site glare impacts on adjacent buildings or properties Lighting shall be provided at regular intervals to prevent dark pockets. Buildings and sites should not be over-lit to make sure that upper floors are not affected by the glare

18 Site Design Lighting Lighting sources shall be partially or completely recessed within skirted lighting fixture Any other lighting fixtures types shall be capped to prevent upward lighting Light poles shall have fluted bases Lighting fixtures shall be black in color Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting sources are required for light poles Maximum light pole height: 16 Illuminated bollards are required along pathways, not streets

19 Site Design Lighting Desired Not Desired Pedestrian-scale lighting Excessive glare to upper floors

20 Site Design Site/Guest Parking Functional circulation Mixed-use development should accommodate guest parking either on-street or in a common area Calculation for guest parking: 0.25 per unit + Commercial Minimize parking visibility from sidewalk Place on-site parking behind the buildings, either at-grade or within a parking structure

21 Site Design Site/Guest Parking Functional circulation Parking should be accessed from the rear of parcels. Otherwise, the entrance to parking from the street should be hidden and not a hazard for pedestrians. When necessary, such driveways should be minimized in width and provide for good visibility of pedestrians from vehicles using the driveway. A change in material for the sidewalk should be utilized to indicate to or warn pedestrians where the access to the parking is located. The entrance to parking facilities should be located on a secondary street and not on an arterial roadway

22 Site Design Sign Development entrance signs (free standing signs or wall signs) shall be complementary to the development architecture Desired

23 Building Siting Orientation Mixed-use development front entrance should be oriented towards the streets, common areas or courtyards (publicly accessible space) Front entrances should be clearly defined with the use of architectural features Primary facades should create a street wall to define the public room

24 Building Siting Orientation Desired Desired Continuous street-facing building fronts help create more active and visually interesting streets, especially for pedestrians Continuous and convenient walking routes. Courtyards, shared yards and patios use shared open space to connect front doors to the street

25 Site Design Landscaped sidewalk network Multiple access points Building facing the streets Internal parking

26 Building Siting Setbacks The minimum front setback shall be the following: 0 for lots on complete streets 10 in non complete streets 20 for front-loaded structured garages/car entrance Minimum rear setbacks may vary from zero to 15 Setback areas should be landscaped Entry stoops, porches or architectural elements are encouraged and may encroach into the setback area up to 3 Detached garages are allowed (setbacks TBD)

27 Building Siting On-site parking On-site Parking requirement has minimum and maximum standards Parking for the residential component: # Bedrooms # Min Parking spaces # Max Parking Spaces One bedroom 2 2 Two bedrooms 2 2 Three bedrooms 2 3 >Four bedrooms 3 4 Additional parking spaces than the maximum will trigger the need for a structured parking garage The same rationale of minimum and maximum parking spaces will be applied to commercial and retail uses

28 Building Siting On-site parking A minimum of 10% parking spaces shall be designated for charging stations Parking shall be located in the rear of the building hidden from the street view Garages are encouraged to be rear-loaded Garages an be placed behind or below buildings If the garage is front-loaded, the lot frontage should allow for parking on-site, a landscaped front yard and enough space between private driveways for on-street short-term parking where permitted Emphasis should be placed on the residential entrances, and garages frontage length should not occupy more than 50% of the primary facade length Detached rear garages are permitted as well as parking garages

29 Building Siting Parking Desired Not Desired Parking hidden behind building

30 Building Siting The use of corners Desired Not Desired

31 Building Form Roof articulation Primary Façade Corner enhancement w/ public plaza Primary Façade

32 Building Form Articulation and design The intent is to create a lively mixed use area with notable architecture and form Buildings shall be close to the street and incorporate a variety of ground story elements (windows, awnings, outdoor patios) to create a pedestrian friendly environment Building façades and roofs shall include architectural elements that vary the appearance of a large building mass, break up long blank walls, and enhance the character of the neighborhood Architectural elements and variations shall not be restricted to a single facade. All sides of a building shall display a proportionate level of quality and architectural interest

33 Mixed Use & Public Plaza Parking on the back Public pedestrian access

34 Building Form Articulation and design Mixed use buildings shall employ the following: 60% of the non-residential ground floor façade fronting a street, park, plaza, or on-site courtyard shall be transparent Buildings main entrances shall be provided on façades fronting the street Corner buildings should be enhanced to function as gateways to the neighborhood/site Buildings shall provide variation in design, materials, texture, or color applications. Articulation requirements: Primary façade: 3; Secondary façade: 2; Rear façade: 1

35 Building Form Articulation and design Façades fronting a street, pedestrian access zone, public space, on-site courtyard, or alley, shall be articulated to improve the quality of the design, including: Vertical modulation: modules (25 to 50 feet) that provide visual interest and serve a traditional Main Street Horizontal modulation: visual division between upper and lower floors through a change in materials, colors, and use of canopies and awnings Changing the direction of the wall plane Increasing the number of openings on the façade Adding projecting façade elements, such as a porches, porticos, colonnades, arches, canopies or balconies Recessing entrances, to provide weather protection, increase window display

36 Building Form - Articulation Through materials Through volumes

37 Building Form Articulation and Design Desired Not Desired Corner element/entrance as focal point

38 Building Form Roof Roofing forms, slopes, details, materials, and overall design should be compatible with the overall style and character of the structure Parapet walls should be used for screening flat roofs and should be detailed with such features as cornice to define the building roofline Sloping roof forms may be considered as accents Horizontal roof forms are acceptable and should vary (in height, plane and volume) along extensions of the building wall planes Roof overhangs should not extend over a neighboring parcel or more than 3 from the façade All roofs should include gutters/downspouts that: Drain directly into a cistern, landscaped area, or storm drain system. Match the trim or body color of the façade. Are discreetly located. Roof Vent pipes that are visible from streets and pedestrian areas should be painted to match the color of the roof to make them less visible If mechanical equipment is installed on the roofs, a parapet 1 higher than the equipment shall be installed

39 Building Form Roof Desired Not Desired

40 Building Form Fenestration Variations in fenestration patterns should be used to emphasize building features such as entries, shifts in building form or differences in function and use. Ground story transparency shall mean the area between 2 feet and 9 feet above the finished ground floor height across the whole façade Windows shall be a minimum of 5 feet in vertical dimension. If the building face at the sidewalk edge cannot be transparent, then the blank wall should be treated in an interesting way with decorative architectural finishes, screens, display cases, sculpture, murals or plant materials.

41 Building Form Fenestration Desired Not Desired

42 Building Form Materials Material treatment shall be consistent in all façades Materials shall be complementary to one another and appropriate for the architectural style Ground floor building materials shall primarily be brick, unit masonry, naturally-cast stone, and glass. Ground floor shall mean the first floor in a multi-story building, or at a minimum the first 20 feet of vertical wall height in single-story buildings. Material changes such as finished concrete masonry units, metal panel systems, steel and stucco may be introduced on upper floors with limited use on ground floors. The minimum number of building materials used on a façade shall be 2 (excluding windows and trimming). The % calculation shall be based on exterior walls, excluding fenestration and decorative elements (roofs, columns, trims, etc.) Changes in material shall generally occur when there is a change in the plane of the façade. The change in material shall occur on inside corners of the building. Front, side and rear façades shall be designed with similar architectural elements, materials, and colors. However, front facades shall require more architectural features. Brick and stone materials should wrap around corners to give an appearance of structural function and minimize a veneer appearance. If used, brick and stone veneer should be mortared to give the appearance that they have a structural function

43 Building Form Materials Appropriate wall façade materials include: Brick Stone Wood panel or painted or stained lap horizontal siding and vertical board and batten wood siding (max. 40%) Stucco (max. 40%) Appropriate accent/decorative façade materials include: Textured aluminum (just as accent elements max. 20%) Finished and painted wood trim Wood, anodized aluminum, copper, steel, and vinyl clad wood frames for windows and doors Inappropriate building materials include: Plywood Unfinished lumber Aluminum, textured T-11, or corrugated fiberglass, sheet metal, or tin siding

44 Building Form Materials Desired Not Desired (?) Different materials at the base and body of building Same materials with different colors

45 Materials Brick

46 Materials Stone

47 Materials Wood panels

48 Materials Stucco Textures and colors

49 Materials Siding

50 Building Form Colors Extensively bold, bright, fluorescent, and neon colors should be avoided. If used, the colors should be used as accent colors on window and door frames, building trim, and details Color applications on a façade shall be limited to maximum three colors in exterior and one as accent colors Painted building surfaces should have a matte finish. Trim work may have a glossy finish The natural colors or brick or stone material should be maintained. These materials should not be painted or glazed and do not count as a color

51 Building Form Colors Desired Not Desired

52 Building Form Height The maximum height of mixed use buildings shall be 60 feet Difference in height can be used to create movement Ceiling heights should range between 8 and 12 tall

53 Accessory structures walls/pergolas Garden walls fronting a public street/plaza shall be between in height Seating incorporated into wall - 18 in height Pergolas, awnings and trellis structures shall maintain clear sight lines between between public ROW and property Arcades shall extend a maximum of 2 stories in height, with average 6 feet in depth Rear and side yard fences and walls should be a maximum of 6 tall. Fence and wall posts should be 4 to 6 taller than the fence or wall

54 Urban furniture, pergolas, low walls

55 Accessory structures service areas All exterior equipment (HVAC, electrical, storage tanks, satellite dishes shall be screened from off-site and on-site common area view in an architecturally integrated manner Garbage dumpsters shall be enclosed and shall be located in areas that are not highly visible from public streets Exterior equipment may be bundled in common areas Not Desired Desired

56 Accessory structures solar panels Visual compatibility- either invisible or some visibility of solar panels in public areas while maintaining the character of the development by: Minimizing visual presence through the use of similar colors, textures, profiles, shapes, placement, and other means to minimize the presence of solar panels and allow it to be more of a background feature rather than calls attention to itself Integrated element in the architecture (such as solar shingles also termed photovoltaic shingles)

57 Health - oriented design Offer users a viable choice to walk or bike for their local trips Propose a walking route within the development or neighborhood with distance marks
