4. Staff disagrees with the Applicant's analysis of consistency with Future Land Use Element
Goal 1.1 of the Comprehensive Plan. The intensity and density of the proposed project, in
combination with the architectural style, site design, and landscape buffers, does not
consider the relationship to surrounding properties. Please address.
5. Staff disagrees with the Applicant's analysis of consistency with Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.1.1.5 of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff encourages the incorporation of workforce
housing. Please address.
6. Staff disagrees with the Applicant's analysis of consistency with Future Land Use Element
Goal 1.2 of the Comprehensive Plan. The site, landscaping, and architectural design of the
project does not promote a strong sense of community, does not provide a consistent
quality of design, and impacts the existing neighborhood integrity of the PCD and
surrounding developments. Please address.
7. Remove reference to Policy 1.2.4.4.(b) and any other references to the Urban Growth
Boundary in the Project Narrative as it was recently removed from the Comprehensive
Plan with Ordinance 2, 2022.
8. Staff disagrees with the Applicant's analysis of consistency with Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.2.4.11 of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed design of the project does not
provide visual continuity of the community and is not consistent with the character of the
neighborhood. Please address.
REZN-21-09-000027/ PCDA-21-09-000043: Rezoning and PCD Amendment
9. The proposed rezoning of the PCD to Residential High (RH) with a density of 12 dwelling
units per acre maximizes the intensity of the project and is not consistent with the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan as established in comments 4, 5, and 8
above. The incorporation of a single 23o-unit building on Parcel A limits the quality and
design of the site's access, circulation, and landscape buffers, and therefore impedes on the
safety and compatibility of the project.
1o. The proposed project is inconsistent with Section D(1) of the PCD Design Guidelines. The
combination of residential uses within the PCD, as proposed, do not create an aesthetically
pleasing environment for potential residents. The proposed building design elements,
pedestrian connections, street network, and public open spaces have not been designed to
meet the intent or objectives of the PCD Design Guidelines.
11. Revise the Project Narrative to include significantly more detailed information related to
the proposed Rezoning and PCD Amendment (Master Plan, Design Guidelines, buffers,
open space, etc.) for further review.
12. The Zoning Map does not depict the PCD Overlay for Cimarron Cove. Please revise.

13. The zoning and land use designations indicated for adjacent properties on the Master
Plan and Site Plan are incorrect. Please revise:
a. Central Gardens zoning is PCD, not PDA
b. Paloma (east and north of Cimarron Cove) zoning is PUD/RL-3, not just PUD
c. Paloma (portion directly east of Cimarron Cove) land use is RL, not RM or RH
14. The Master Plan shows an arrow into the site (symbolizing an entrance) on Victoria Falls
Boulevard, whereas the Site Plan and other documents indicate this access as exit -only.
Staff supports ingress/egress at this location to improve access for the new residential
units and optimize the shared access on the connector roadway. Please address.
15. All provided plans (Master Plan, Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Civil Plan, exhibits in the Site
Assessment Study, etc.) depict a left -turn lane into the site from the cut -through in the
median on Victoria Falls Boulevard. Please address.
SPLN-21-10-000053: Parcel A Site Plan
16. Revise the Project Narrative to include significantly more detailed information related to
the proposed Parcel A Site Plan (site design, landscaping, architecture, etc.) for further
review.
17. Portions of the Project Narrative reference 265 units proposed. Please revise.
18. The Project Narrative references a direct emergency access for public safety vehicles to
Parcel A proposed from Elm Avenue. Please address.
Site Plan
19. The adopted Mobility Plan includes several planned improvements for the sidewalks
surrounding this project. Staff strongly suggests making these improvements in
conjunction with the required improvements to the PCD buffers and road shoulder
landscaping.
a. Widen existing sidewalk to 12' trail on south side of Victoria Falls Boulevard
b. Widen existing sidewalk to 12' trail on west side of Elm Avenue
c. Replace 5' — 8' sidewalks with 12' trail on east side of Central Boulevard
20.Include the two lakes and surrounding improvements/landscaping on the Parcel A site
plan for context.
21. Code Section 78-572 requires at least one neighborhood park, no less than one acre in
size. Staff strongly encourages providing hardscape amenities around the lakes,
additional clubhouse/recreational amenities, and/or walking trails in the preserve area
to count toward the neighborhood park requirement. Please address.
22. The existing design of the project appears to lack amenities. Section D(2)(e) of the Design
Guidelines requires special pedestrian amenities at periodic locations along prominent

pedestrian linkages such as fountains, gazebos, special gardens, seating areas, and art.
Please address.
23. All required parking spaces are provided as surface parking, some of which significantly
conflicts with the access and circulation. The intensity of the development program is
causing constraints on the site design. Please address.
24. Staff does not support the parking spaces accessed directly off of the shared cross -access
connector roadway between The Quaye and Central Boulevard due to the interference of
these spaces with through -traffic vehicles. Please remove and provide the total required
parking spaces elsewhere on site.
25. Please provide all required parking (including required guest parking) within the gated
parking area. Additional spaces for leasing office employees, potential future tenants, or
short-term visitors, may be provided outside the gated lot so long as access and circulation
are not impeded as described in comment 24.
26. Indicate the stacking distance between the vehicular entrance gates (west and south) and
the shared cross -access drive aisle. There appears to be no stacking space for the southern
gated access point that does not interfere with the shared cross -access drive aisle.
27. Depict the location of the call box/tag reader for the southern gated access point.
28.Increase the width of sidewalks to 8 feet along high -traffic areas, such as along the shared
cross -access drive aisle and around the entrance/access points, in accordance with
Section D(2)(e) of the Design Guidelines.
29. Provide a crosswalk across the driveway cut on Victoria Falls Boulevard, across the
trash/loading area, and in the center of the western parking lot to connect all sidewalks
across drive aisles.
30. Provide sidewalk connections into the site from Victoria Fall Boulevard that lead to the
building.
31. Complete the sidewalk connection between the existing sidewalk on Central Boulevard
and the proposed sidewalk along the drive aisle leading toward Central Boulevard.
32. Correct the reference to a trellis in the southern courtyard on the Site Plan. This is
indicated as a pavilion on Sheet A1.o10 of the architectural package.
33• Staff strongly suggests incorporating accommodations for residents' pets, such as pet
waste stations.
34• In the Site Data, include the gross acreage of the entire PCD (50.58 acres) to provide
reference to the permitted residential density of 12 du/ac.

35• The `Building — Gross Square Footage Breakdown' table indicates 120 one -bedroom units
and 110 two -bedroom units, which would be a total of 34o bedrooms. Correct the Site
Data to indicate 34o bedrooms and increase the total required parking spaces to 357•
Provide at least the required number of spaces and correct all plans accordingly.
36. The `Property Development Regulations' table on the Site Plan and the Site Plan Analysis
table in the Project Narrative are not consistent with the Design Guidelines Section
D(3)(a), including lot coverage, building height, and setbacks. Please correct.
37. The approved PCD Amenity Package includes details for streetlights, benches, trash cans,
and bike racks. The approved plans for The Quaye were consistent with these details.
Please revise the Site Details and Photometrics accordingly to provide consistency
throughout the PCD.
38. Provide a detail for the decorative surface used for crosswalks and the building entrance
area to comply with Section D(2)(e) of the Design Guidelines.
39• Provide a detail for the electric vehicle charging stations.
40.Sheet SP-1 includes the proposed site details. Please re -label this to Sheet SP-2 Site
Details. Enlarge the details and carry over to another sheet if necessary. Conversely, Sheet
SP-2 includes the site plan. Please relabel this to Sheet SP-1 Site Plan.
Landscape Plan
41.On the Landscape Plans, depict all adjacent PCD buffer landscaping to be planted.
42. Sheet LP-7 (Buffer D1) of the PCD Buffer Plan includes pedestrian lighting along the
Central Boulevard sidewalk. Update all applicable plans to incorporate this lighting to be
installed.
43•The 5-foot on -site buffer along Elm Avenue is not adequate for the proposed project and
does not meet the intent of Goal 1.1 and Goal 1.2 of the Comprehensive Plan. The
rendering, which includes the buffer plantings in the 15400t PCD buffer, depicts the lack
of density, variety, and overall screening proposed to be provided. Widen the buffer to
include a dense variety of multi -tier landscaping material to provide an opaque buffer, as
well as the potential to include a berm, to help mitigate the height and massing of the
building.
44•The 5-foot-wide landscape medians are completely encumbered by 2-5-foot vehicle
overhangs on each side. This creates conflict with the light poles located in the center of
the medians and does not allow for any landscaping other than sod. Section D(3)(f) of the
Design Guidelines indicates that divider strips for head -to -head parking areas should
provide additional shade. Please address.

45• Indicate the width at narrow points of foundation landscaping, such as near the building
entrance area and on the south side of building, to ensure a minimum of 10 feet is
provided per Section D(3)(f) of the Design Guidelines.
46. The landscape palette utilizes a large amount of 12-foot Green Buttonwood and 12400t
Sabal Palms for the foundation landscaping, parking lot landscaping, and buffer
landscaping. Please provide additional variety, including more substantial species and
sizes.
Architectural Plans
47. The leasing, mail/lounge, gym, and "amenity" areas appear to be included in the open
space calculation. Please describe the indoor amenities in more detail to determine
whether they count toward open space. The residential amenity package does not appear
to be comparable to what has been provided in other multi -family projects around the
city.
48. Please provide an explanation of how residents on each floor will handle trash/recycling.
49• Please provide an explanation of how residents will handle move-in/move-out loading.
50. Staff encourages the incorporation of three -bedroom units as proposed on earlier
versions of the plans. Please address.
51. On Sheet A1.o1o, there are two units on the first -floor, one on the east side near the
northeast corner (A8 unit type) and one on the west side near the northwest corner (A7
unit type), that call out a balcony but do not depict one on the elevations. Please revise.
52. The northwest rear elevation on Sheet A3.02o depict balconies on the first floor that are
not fenced in. Please revise.
53.On the fourth floor of the northwest elevation, the balconies on the two Ao unit types are
not covered. Please revise.
54• Please consider providing full balconies with coverage on the A8 unit type as opposed to
the Juliet balconies.
55• The elevations indicate 41' 3/4" roof bearing with varying parapets up to 51' 1/2" in height.
Explain why the tower features extend an additional level higher up to 63' 4" without
apparent purpose. Staff does not support the disproportionate design of these tower
features or the overall height of the building.
56. The architectural theme of the building is unclear and the various design elements,
materials, and colors are not cohesive. The combination of brick, coral stone, synthetic
wood, metal awnings, arched windows, decorative corbels, and terracotta Spanish roof

63. Please specify whether the coral stone on the columns and the building fagade will be
sealed to ensure long-term preservation of the material.
64. The building -mounted signage is not a permitted sign type in the City's Code. Staff does
not support this type of urban/mixed-use sign for this project. Further, the elevations,
renderings and site plan are inconsistent in the location/number of these signs.
65. Indicate the width of the monument signs.
66.All three proposed project signs are specific to the Parcel A ("Gardens Vista")
development only. These sign locations are indicated on the PCD Master Plan and located
within POA property. Include Parcel B (The Quaye) in the design of these signs to improve
wayfinding and unity of the PCD. The POA will need to consent to the design of these
signs.

PCDA-21-09-00004 3: PCD Amendment
67.On Sheet LP-7 (Buffer Di) of the PCD Buffer Plan, Forestry has concerns with the
proposed "Relocation of existing trees/palms located in Parcel A" exhibit. Any tree/palm
relocation into the preserve area should be concentrated in the Buffer D2 where a recent
wildfire killed some of the existing vegetation or establish in Buffer B2 which will have
permanent irrigation.

104. The Police Department strongly recommends perimeter fencing be at least 6 feet in
height to create a defensible barrier. 4 feet fencing is typically referred to as a "symbolic
barrier" due to its ease of being climbed over.
105. Fences and gates shall be of a design to deter climbing. If applicable, additional material
may be required to prevent the use of hands or a tool from reaching access control on
interior sides of gates.
106. All exterior stairwell entrances shall be equipped with access control to prevent ingress
and allow free flowing egress.
107. The Police Department has concerns regarding the units located outside of the fenced
perimeter. Please consider redesigning the fencing to encompass these units.
108. All electronic gates shall be equipped with a C1ick2Enter system for Fire and Police
access.
log. Landscaping shall not obstruct lighting, address signage, or the view from windows,
unless required by code to shield the view of equipment. Please ensure landscaping and
lighting are not co -located.
iio. Residential unit doors and exterior solid doors should be equipped with a peep hole or
door scope viewer to increase surveillance.
Fire -Rescue Department
ill. Fire is concerned with the elimination of the Elm Avenue stabilized surface emergency
vehicle access. Please address.
112. A fire line water availability study/report is required. 1500 gallons per minute, sustained
for a two-hour duration will be required.
Seacoast Utility Authority
113. Please label the furthest downstream new manhole as the `SUA Point of Service'. The
sewer system inside the project will be private.
114. The internal fire line feeding the fire hydrants needs to be private and will require two 8"
DDCV assemblies near the property boundaries. Please revise the plans and add SUA
easements around the water main up to (and five feet passed) these DDCV assemblies.

115. The 8" DDCV and 4" meter assemblies are too close to the building. Please provide a
different location that meets the SUA required 15-foot minimum setback from structures
including footers and roof overhangs.
116. It is too early to review and comment on the landscape plans as previous comments will
require the devices to be located in green areas and will cause landscaping to be adjusted.

117. This site has a vested approval for 215,000 SF of mixed commercial uses with a buildout
year of 2028, based on approved time extensions. Please modify the Site Assessment
Study accordingly.
118. For the analyses of intersections and driveways along Central Boulevard and Military
Trail, please utilize committed development traffic in the background growth
calculations.
119. Driveways 1 and 3 also serve traffic from The Quaye. Please provide an exhibit showing
total peak hour and daily volumes at the driveways.
120.In the QOS Analysis, please verify the sidewalk widths along Central Boulevard between
I-95 and Victoria Falls Boulevard. They are not consistent with the Site Plan and aerial
images. Also, it appears that street trees are present on Elm Avenue in the southbound
direction, which will change the QOS.
121. Please provide an 8' pathway along the connector road from Parcel B through this site,
including connections to the pathways around the lakes.
122.Please consider moving the resident -only gate at the south driveway further north/east
to allow more ingress queuing capability.
123. The proposed parking along the connector road is not recommended due to conflicts
between through -traffic, parking maneuvers, and pedestrians. This connector road
should remain a roadway and not a parking lot for this development.
124.The north driveway needs to be reconfigured to eliminate the sharp curve and adjacent
parking spaces. Care should be taken with regard to the vehicular gate location and
egress queuing.
125.As an alternative to the median opening on Victoria Falls Boulevard due to its proximity
to Central Boulevard and the potential future signalization, consider a right-in/right-out
driveway on Victoria Falls Boulevard and a roundabout at the intersection of Victoria
Falls Boulevard and Elm Avenue. A roundabout would be more efficient than a four-way
stop and will provide the needed U-turn maneuver for project traffic destined to the west.
