The proposed new community, located at the southwest corner of Hood Road and Central Boulevard, will feature 224 high -end apartments on 22.73 acres. The subject site is vacant and is located within the northern portion of the proposed PCD. The parcel is designated as Residential High under the proposed Central Gardens PCD Master Plan. It also has two Future Land Use designations: Residential High (RH) and MXD (Mixed Use). The property is bounded by Hood Road to the north, Central Boulevard on the east, Central Gardens Parcel B to the south and the Westwood Gardens /Westwood Lakes Planned Unit Development on the west. The parcel has a zoning designation of PDA (Planned Development Area), which requires the rezoning of the property to a planned district as part of the development review. This request is being sought concurrently with the overall Central Gardens Planned Community Development district. The applicant is requesting rezoning from PDA to PCD and master plan approval for 224 residential multi - family units, 57,500 square feet of general retail, and 40,784 square feet of general office. The subject site is identified as Parcel A within the proposed master plan. Architecture The applicant is proposing two distinct building types, a six unit model and a 36 -unit model, which will share the same architectural style. The building will have a "Rosemary Beach" style of architecture which takes advantage of the area's pleasant weather with porches, balconies and roof overhangs. Units will range in size from one to three bedrooms and 750 to 1,600 square feet in area. The site plan provides for 25 Type 1 buildings, which each have six apartments. These buildings each have one one - bedroom apartment, two two - bedroom apartments and three three- Page 1 of 5 bedroom units. Atotal of 14 bedrooms are provided within in Type 1 Building. The building height for these two -story units is 27 feet. Two Type II building are proposed within the community with each building having 36 units. Each Type II building will feature 20 one - bedroom units and 16 two - bedroom units. A total of 51 bedrooms is provided within each Type II building. The maximum building height for the Type II buildings is 41 feet, which is consistent with the RH zoning district standards. The site plan indicates that 222 units will be contained within Type I and II buildings. Two of the proposed units will be model units which will be adjacent to the recreation center /leasing office. The model units will not be occupied but will be used to show prospective tenants to the community. Concurrency On April 21, 2010, the subject site received Conditional Concurrency Certification from the City for 200 Residential Multi - Family Units, 57,500 square feet of general retail, and 50,000 square feet of general office. With the concurrent PCD application and concurrency certification amendment application, the applicant is seeking to amend the concurrency to indicate 224 Multi - Family Units, 57,500 square feet of general retail and 40,784 square feet of general office. History There is no current or past development order on this vacant tract of land. The subject property was annexed into the City in 1990, where it received a Future Land Use Designation of Mixed Use and Residential High. A previous development application for a PCD was submitted for this property, but was later withdrawn. A PCD application was submitted for Central Gardens on March 24, 2011. This application is for site plan approval for Parcel A within the pending PCD. Access The Central Gardens Parcel A residential site plan will have its main entrance off Central Boulevard. The entrance into the residential community will be gated. At this same entrance, the will be a vehicular and pedestrian connection for the future development of Parcel B. In addition, a secondary access for emergency access is proposed at the northwest corner of the site. This emergency access will be sod covering a stabilized base connecting the project's internal roadway system to Hood Road.

To allow for this efficient and creative use of buildings and property, some deviations or waivers from the strict interpretation of the code is necessary. Below is a listing of the waivers being request for this site plan application and the justification for the granting of these waivers. Sidewalks on both sides of the street The applicant is seeking a waiver from Section 78 -506 of the City Code to allow for the community to have a sidewalk on one side of the street. City Code requires sidewalks on both sides of the streets. Because of the creative nature of the proposed architecture within the project, each elevation for each building features a front entrance for at least one of the building's units. As such, sidewalks surround each building to provide access. The creative condition allows for the development of a web of pedestrian pathways throughout the community. For example, a six -foot wide sidewalk is proposed around the community lake and a five -foot wide sidewalk is provided south of buildings #1 through #7. The intent of the code section that requires sidewalks on both sides of the street is to ensure that the residents have a safe and convenient pedestrian access. With the proposed web of pathways throughout the community, this intent is met and exceeded as the project's residents will have multiple pedestrian access options. Sidewalk widths The applicant is seeking a waiver from Section 78 -506 of the City Code to allow for a variety of widths for sidewalks. City Code requires a five -foot wide sidewalk. In the aforementioned web of interlinked pedestrian pathways throughout the community, the applicant is proposing sidewalk width of six feet, five feet and four feet. The majority of the proposed sidewalks meets and exceeds the City sidewalk width standard and all of the proposed sidewalks will meet ADA standards. In the limited areas where four -foot sidewalks are located, the applicant is seeking a waiver. Please note that, as described above, the applicant is providing multiple pedestrian Page 4of5 access routes through the community. The sidewalk around the internal lake, which is estimated to be the busiest sidewalk within the community, a six -foot wide sidewalk is provided. In areas, where pedestrian traffic is limited, a four -foot wide sidewalk is provided. Reduced Roadway Widths The applicant is seeking a waiver from Section 78 -498, Table 40, of the City Code to allow for an alternative street cross section with the subject community. For local streets, Section 78 -498 requires two, 10 -foot wide travel lanes with two feet of curbs on both sides or the provision of roadside swale drainage. The applicant, who is provide drainage facilities at the center of the street, is proposing two, 11 -foot wide travel lanes with an extruded curb on each side. With the alternative street cross - section, the applicant will be providing larger travel lanes (11 feet versus 10 feet required by code) but a smaller pavement cross - section (22 feet proposed versus the Code standard of 24 feet). For these reasons, the applicant is seeking a waiver to allow for this street cross - section. Improvements within Lake Maintenance Easement The applicant is seeking a waiver from Section 78 -563 of the City Code to allow for improvements with the lake maintenance easements (LME). Within the internal lake's LME, the applicant is amenitizing the feature as a recreational element for residents. The applicant is proposing include a six -foot wide sidewalk, pedestrian lighting and landscaping around the lake within the LME. On the southern portion of the lake, a bulkhead and sidewalk are proposed within the LME. Please note that the applicant will provide a 12 -foot wide clear area within the LME for any future maintenance needs. This waiver is requested because an amenitized lake that encourages pedestrian use is beneficial for the residents and the community as a whole. Parking Space Width The applicant is seeking a waiver from Section 78 -344 to allow for 9.5 -foot wide parking spaces. The City's parking standards permit for 10 -foot wide spaces and allow for 9 -foot and 9.5 -foot wide parking spaces with specific approvals. The typical parking space width in a high turnover use, such as a convenience commercial center, is 10 feet in width. The 10 -foot width allows for additional room for the multiple cars visiting the site during the day. Within the proposed gated - residential community, the majority of the parking spaces will be used once in the morning and once in the evening. Because of the limited use of the proposed parking spaces during the day, the additional parking space width is not needed as compared to other high frequency spaces. It is the desire to use that space as green space within the project. Please note that the applicant is providing 43% open space within the residential community while 35% is required by code.
