MEMORANDUM DATE: MAY 18, 2015 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CASE NUMBER: OWNER: APPLICANT: MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION EDWARD LUNZ, CHAIRMAN PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAJOR MODIFICATION OF PUD ZONING TO ADD APPROXIMATELY 1.89 ACRES, INCREASE THE MAXIMUM RETAIL/SERVICE LIMIT FROM 360,000 TO 378,000 SQUARE FEET AND MODIFY THE MASTER SIGN PLAN ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 919 LAKELAND PARK CENTER DRIVE PUD14-022 RAMCO GATEWAY, LLC JANE L. CALDERA, P.E., TRUCKIN TRAFFIC, LLC P&Z HEARING: JANUARY 21, 2015 P&Z FINAL DECISION: FEBRUARY 17, 2015 LEGAL DESCRIPTION: A legal description of the subject property is included as Attachment A. Background Jane L. Caldera, P.E, requests a major modification of PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning to add approximately 1.89 acres, increase the maximum retail/service limit from 360,000 to 378,000 square feet and modify the master sign plan on property located at 919 Lakeland Park Center Drive. A map of the subject property is included as Attachment "B." The subject property consists of Lakeland Park Center, a mixed use, regional shopping center located on 51.04 acres of land located northwest of Interstate 4, east of U.S. Highway 98 North, and north of Lakeland Park Center Drive. As originally approved on May 16, 2011, the PUD allows for 360,000 square feet of retail/service uses, 40,000 square feet of office uses, and a hotel/motel with up to 135 rooms, along with provisions for the limited conversion of development types pursuant to an approved vehicle trip equivalency matrix. Phase I of the shopping center, consisting of approximately 210,000
sq. ft. of retail/service uses, was completed in 2014. The remainder of the property is currently vacant and awaiting development. The primary purpose of this request is to increase the overall project area from 51.04 acres to 52.89 acres by incorporating a 1.64 acre parcel of land located immediately adjacent to the eastern PUD boundaries and through the vacation of a 0.25 acre portion of Union Drive. Both would be incorporated into the area identified on Attachment C as FD- 2 (Future Development Area 2), increasing the size of FD-2 from 5.98 to 7.87 acres. With the additional land, the maximum amount of allowable retail/service uses would be increased from 360,000 sq. ft. to 378,000 sq. ft. As a secondary request, the applicant is seeking revisions to the master sign plan. These changes would amend the conditions pertaining to monument signs on outparcels and allow for three new directory signs at designated locations. The revisions also reflect the as-built location of the Target/tenant pylon sign located at the east end of Lakeland Park Center Drive which has shifted slightly to the west. No additional changes are requested at this time. A revised site development plan and master sign plan are included as Attachments C and E-1. Existing Land Use, FLUM and Zoning/Context of Adjacent Properties Adjacent to Existing Land Use FLUM Zoning/Context North Commercial, singlefamily RAC, RH & RL PUD/SCO & SNH & multi-family residential South Commercial/I-4 ROW IAC/C-2 C-2/SCO East Single-family residential RAC C-2 & None/SCO & vacant land West Single-family & commercial RAC C-2 & None/SCO Discussion The 1.65 acres of land proposed to be incorporated into the PUD has a future land use designation of RAC (Regional Activity Center) and a C-2 (Highway Commercial) zoning classification. The RAC land use designation was applied following annexation with the expectation that it would be acquired by the developer and incorporated as part of the master development plan for the shopping center. The owner of the property, however, refused to sell at the time and the developer only recently acquired the property. Adjacent to this parcel is a portion of improved City right-of-way known as Union Drive. This portion of right-of-way, approximately 0.25 acres in area, encompasses the western 275 feet of Union Drive. With the acquisition of the 1.65 acre parcel, the developer now controls the land abutting both sides of the right-of-way. Concurrent with this request, the
applicant will be requesting the vacation of this portion of the right-of-way for the purposes of incorporating it into the parcel identified as FD-2 on the revised Attachment C. Altogether, the addition of these two parcels will add a total of 1.89 acres of land to the existing PUD. The additional land will be used to accommodate the off-street parking, landscaping, and stormwater retention necessary to develop FD-2. To reflect the additional acreage, the applicant has requested that the maximum allowable development limit for retail/service uses, as specified by Condition B.1. (Development Limits), be increased from 360,000 to 378,000 square feet. This change is consistent with the previous zoning which allocated retail/service uses at an intensity of 10,000 sq. ft. of building area per acre of land. Secondarily, the applicant is requesting changes to the master sign plan, Attachment E- 1. The first change would limit the placement of monument signs currently permitted on the eight outparcels and update the master sign plan to reflect the actual location of the Tenant Pylon Sign (Sign 5), as-built. The second change would allow for three new directory signs in specific locations, as depicted as signs A, B, and C on the revised Attachment E-1. The current PUD allows for two monument signs per outparcel, either Type 3 or Type 4, with no restrictions on location. With the proposed change, only one monument sign per outparcel will be allowed adjacent to the Lakeland Park Center frontage. Directory signs normally must be setback a minimum of 30 from any public right-of-way. However, due to a combination of topography and the public/private nature of the local street network, this requirement is not practical in this particular circumstance. An allowance for directory signs in the locations depicted on Attachment E-1 will improve the efficiency of traffic circulation internally and encourage the use of two newly created cross access driveways. These driveways provide a direct connection to the Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center to the north. In all other respects, such signs will comply with the requirements for directory signs as specified by Section 4.9 of the Land Development Code. The Community Development Department and the Board reviewed this request for compliance with Lakeland Comprehensive Plan: 2010-2020 and it is our opinion that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. All roadway levels of service are acceptable. Other essential services are presently available to provide concurrency for the proposed use. Actual construction is subject to final concurrency determinations at the time of site plan review. The Community Development Department reviewed this request and recommended the modification of PUD zoning. Letters of notification were mailed to 90 property owners within 500 feet of the subject property and no objections were received. This recommendation was approved by a 6-0 vote of the Board.
Recommendation It is recommended that the request for a major modification of PUD zoning, as described above and in Attachments A, B, C, C-1, C-2, C-3, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, E-1, E-2, E-3, E-4, E-5, and "F," be approved, subject to the following conditions: Note: The Suburban Center context district will be applied to those areas shown on Attachment B. A. Permitted Uses: 1. A regional retail shopping center with outparcels, including those uses permitted in the C-5 (Regional Center Commercial) zoning district, except that the following principal uses shall be prohibited: Funeral homes and crematoriums Mobile home sales, rental and service agencies Motor vehicle and boat sales and rental Outdoor commercial recreation Regulated uses Retail marine sales and service (Marine accessory stores, which may include the incidental sales and service of watercraft, are permitted.) 2. Overnight boarding of animals and veterinary clinics are permitted as an accessory use provided that such uses are (a) located within a completely enclosed building and (b) incidental and accessory to a pet supply store as the principal use. 3. In order to regulate the amount of diverted trips that enter the project site from I-4 via US 98, no more than four of the outparcels shall include drivethrough facilities, except, however, that banks and other financial institutions may have drive-through facilities which shall not count toward the four-parcel limit. B. Development Limits: 1. Maximum Allowed Development by Type, subject to conversion in (2) below: Retail/Service: Office: Hotel/Motel: 360,000378,000 square feet 40,000 square feet 135 rooms 2. Conversion of Development Types: The amount of development may be converted from one type to another without requiring a change to this PUD in accordance with the following Vehicle Trip Equivalency Matrix, except that
no more than 20,000 square feet of the allowed office uses may be converted. VEHICLE TRIP EQUIVALENCY MATRIX CHANGE TO RETAIL/ SERVICE (1,000 Sq.Ft.) OFFICE (1,000 Sq.Ft.) HOTEL/ MOTEL (Rooms) C H A N G E F R O M RETAIL/SERVICE (1,000 Sq.Ft.) OFFICE (1,000 Sq.Ft.) HOTEL/MOTEL (Rooms) 0.480 0.206 2.083 0.429 4.851 2.330 EXAMPLE #1: To convert from retail to hotel, multiply the number of desired hotel rooms by the retail equivalency factor to get the number of equivalent reduction in retail square footage. 50 hotel rooms x 0.206 (retail equiv. factor) = 10.300 x 1,000 = 10,300 sq. ft. retail To add 50 hotel rooms, reduce retail by 10,300 sq. ft. EXAMPLE #2: To convert from hotel to office, multiply the desired office square footage by the hotel equivalency factor to get the number of equivalent hotel room reduction. 20,000 sq. ft. office x 2.330 (hotel equiv. factor) = 46,600 / 1,000 = 46.6 hotel rooms To add 20,000 sq. ft. office, reduce hotel by 47 rooms C. Site Development Plan: The project shall be developed in substantial accordance with the site development plan included as Attachment "C. With the approval of the Director of Community Development, minor adjustments can be made to lot configuration, structure configuration and parking configuration at the time of final site plan review without requiring a change to this PUD. In the event that a station site for the new Florida High-Speed Rail system is selected in the north central Lakeland area, the developer shall agree to cooperate with the City and other stakeholders regarding complementary uses or layout scenarios to support this new facility and transportation service to the maximum extent that is feasible. However, the obligation for the developer to cooperate shall not reduce any entitlements granted by this PUD. D. Development StandardsRegulations: In accordance with C-5/Suburban Center zoning sub-district standardsregulations, except as below or as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of this ordinance, unified development shall mean all buildings identified as Major, Retail and Anchor in Attachment C and the associated parking areas.
