Communication Graphics
This request is for a PUD Amendment to modify the approved plans for Lot 1 of West
Park Center, formally known as The Wackenhut Center, and hereafter to be known as
the Corporate Center at the Gardens. The proposed amendments include restriping a
portion of the parking lot to create 9' wide parking stalls, re- design, replacement and
relocation of the ground signs, replacement and relocation of the wall signs, the
upgrade of the entrance and foundation landscaping, approval of one waiver, and the
modification and clarification of the status of the previous conditions of approval.
The proposed parking lot modifications and the subsequent increased number of
parking spaces will require approval of a waiver to allow more spaces than allowed by
the Land Development Regulations.
HISTORY /LOCATION
Lot 1 of West Park Center is an approximate 7.6 acre tract located within the NorthCorp
Planned Community District ( Northcorp PCD). The site is more specifically located at
the intersection of RCA Boulevard and NorthCorp Parkway south of the Marriot hotel.
NorthCorp PCD was approved via Ordinance 1, 1990 on January 18, 1990. With the
approval of Ordinance 1, the individual parcels within NorthCorp were simultaneously
approved as Planned Unit Developments (Section 2). Ordinance 1, 1990 also
established development regulations for the individual PUD's which set forth the
requirements for setbacks, height, FAR, open space and uses allowed (Section 4) and
established that the review and approval of subsequent development on the individual
PUD's be by Resolution without public hearing or newspaper notice (Section 5). The
site was developed in accordance with these regulations and continues to meet them
with the proposed modifications in this application.
The site plan approval for the project was granted via Resolution 39, 1995, on March
16, 1995 and subsequently modified September 14t ", 1995 by Resolution 93, 1995 for
modifications to the elevations and landscape plans, October 5t ", 1995 by Resolution
105, 1995 for modifications to Building C and the signage, on January 11, 1996 by
Resolution 11, 1996 to allow covered parking structures, on March 18, 1996 by
Resolution 40, 1996 to amend the signage on Building A, on May 17, 1999 by an
Administrative Amendment (ADMIN- 99 -24) for a modification to the signage, and on

PROJECT DETAILS
Architectural Style and Special Features
There are no major modifications proposed to the exterior facade of the buildings. As
part of a multi - million dollar upgrade, the property owner is making major modifications
to the interior of Building A to convert the building from occupancy by a single tenant to
allow occupancy by multiple tenants, and to convert the building into Class A office
space. Some minor exterior maintenance and upgrades are being done to the front
entrance as part of the lobby renovations; there will be fresh paint to match the existing
colors, and new energy efficient air conditioning units with roof top screening as part of
the interior improvements. The interior improvements are permitted by code and are not
included in this application.
Landscaping /Buffers
Landscape improvements to the site include the replacement and upgrade of the
mature landscape treatments at the entrance and around the foundations of buildings A
and B. There are also a number of trees being replaced where they have been
damaged or lost through the years. The proposed replacement of the ground signs will
also include new landscape treatments at the base of the signs. Tree replacements
include the use of Spicy Jatropha, Japanese Privet and Purple Trumpet Tree which will
add color and texture to the parking lot and foundation of the buildings. The entrance
landscaping will also include splashes of color and the replacement of older shrubs and
ground covers. An extra loading space on the site is being removed and converted to
open space.
Signage
Ground Signs — The existing single tenant ground signs are proposed to be removed
and replaced with freshly designed signs that will allow display of multiple tenants. The
proposed sign design includes an internally illuminated central core in medium blue,
with an overlay in off white that will contain the tenant names in dark bronze. The sign
has been designed to incorporate characteristics similar to the NorthCorp PCD Master
Signage program. The code allows for the installation of three ground signs based on
the property having over 1700 linear feet of right -of -way frontage. Currently there are
two signs located at the northern and central entrances on NorthCorp Parkway, and one
sign along 1 -95. This application proposes to replace the two existing signs at the north
and central entrances, and remove the sign along 1 -95 to allow for the future installation
of a new sign at the southern entrance. The two signs at the northern and central
entrances are proposed to be 10' x 15' and the sign at the southern entrance which
maintains the same design, is proportionately smaller at 8' x 12'.
Wall Signs — Condition 17 of Resolution 39, 1995, allows for three signs on the
building, two facing 1 -95 and one over the canopy at the front entrance. With this
application we are requesting a modification of the sign plan and the condition, to allow
Corporate Center at the Gardens July 25, 2011
Project Narrative Page 4
for three signs facing 1 -95 and removing the sign over the canopy at the entrance. We
are also requesting that ground floor tenants be allowed to have signs, as permitted by
the code. The proximity of this building to 1 -95, and the tree canopy that exists around
the building make the visibility from 1 -95 critical for the effectiveness of the signage for
the tenants. Now that the building will have multiple tenants, it will be important to
identify major tenants as well as the building name. The sign plan includes limitations
on the size, locations and color pallet of the signs.
Directional Signs — With the relocation of the building sign from the front of the
building, it has been determined that directional signage is necessary to assist visitors
to the site to identify each building. The signs will be 4' x 5'x 8" with an off white
background and stem mounted bronze letters, strategically located to provide direction
for each building.
Pedestrian Connectivity
The site currently provides pedestrian connections to the adjacent properties and the
PCD sidewalk system. No changes are being proposed to the sidewalk system as a
result of this request.
Traffic
There are no traffic operational improvements being proposed as a result of this
request.
Access
The site has three (3) existing ingress and egress points, all located off the adjacent
NorthCorp Parkway. There are no modifications being proposed as a result of this
request.
Lighting
There are no modifications to the existing site lighting being proposed as a result of this
request.
Utilities /Drainage
There are no modifications to the site's existing configuration of utilities on the site. All
previous agreements for services will remain.
Parking
Required parking is calculated based on the code requirement of 1 space per 300
square feet of Professional Office space. Based on 121,229 feet of office space, the
total required parking for the site is 405 spaces. The previously approved site plan
provided 451 spaces. Existing parking includes 9 ' and 10' wide spaces, a parking
garage under Building A, and covered parking spaces at each building.
Corporate Center at the Gardens July 25, 2011
Project Narrative Page 5
To answer the demand for additional parking required by a Class A building, the
applicant is requesting to modify several parking bays by restriping the existing
pavement area and converting 10' wide parking spaces to 9' wide parking spaces. A
waiver will be required to address the code restriction of not allowing parking to exceed
10% of the required parking. A detailed explanation and justification of the waiver
request is included in this narrative.
Handicap parking has been provided adjacent to each building. Nine spaces are
required and nine spaces have been provided. Three loading spaces are required and
three spaces have been provided, one at each building. One extra existing loading
space is proposed to be removed and converted to open space.
Parking space width
Section 76 -344 allows the City Council to approve a reduction in the width of parking
spaces provided a corresponding increase in open space is provided.
There are 10 existing 9' wide spaces located under cover adjacent to Building C and 27
existing 9' spaces in the garage. The applicant is requesting that an additional 255
parking spaces be restriped and reduced to a width of 9' feet. There will be a net
increase of 32 spaces overall with the breakdown as follows: 292 - 9' spaces, 182 - 10'
spaces and 9 - 12' spaces providing for a total of 483 spaces. .
The criteria for approval for a reduction in the width of parking spaces requires
additional open space be provided at a ratio of 1.5 square feet for each square foot of
paved parking area that is reduced. The following formula demonstrates that the site
exceeds the current code requirement for open space and meets the criteria for
approval.
• There will be a total of 292 — 9' parking spaces.
• The area of the reduced pavement area is 5400 square feet (18.5' x 1' = 18.5
sf /space x 292 spaces).
• At a ratio of 1.5, we are required to provide 8103 additional square feet of open
space (5400 sf x 1.5).
• The 15% open space requirement is 1.15 acres (50,305.06 sf). The open space
provided on this site is 30 %, or 2.302 acres (100,275.12 sf).
• The site provides 1.152 acres (50,181.12 sf) more open space than is required by
code which exceeds the requirement for additional open space.

WAIVER
One of the general purposes and intentions of the Planned unit development overlay
district is to "establish and encourage efficient and creative development or re-
development of property, to provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative
concepts of development in the creation of aesthetically pleasing living, shopping and
working environments on properties of adequate size shape and location ... and to
ensure that development occurs according to limitations of use, design, density,
coverage, and planning as stipulated in an approved development plan ". As a result of
these concepts, the PUD Overlay District was created as a Flexible zoning district that
is intended to allow for deviations from the standard Land Development Regulations.
These deviations are accommodated through the Waiver approval process. The
granting of waivers allows innovative, and creative design concepts to be realized that
will be a benefit to the city.
The renovation of this property will provide the City with an updated and upgraded office
development which currently is vacant. The property owner is committed to making the
building an attractive Class A facility. However, one of the primary considerations of
potential tenants looking at relocating to this site is the adequacy of parking. To
address this concern, the proposed plan modifies the existing parking lot to re- stripe the
parking spaces allowing an efficient maximization of parking without creating any
additional pavement. The proposed design minimizes the impact to the landscape
islands and creates additional open space as well.
The applicant is therefore requesting a waiver from Section 78 -345, to allow an increase
in the total number of parking spaces greater than 10% of the required parking.
Section 78 -345 provides the opportunity to exceed the required number of parking
spaces up to a maximum of 10% over the required number of spaces. The previously
approved site plan exceeded the 10% threshold by 5 spaces. The proposed site plan
will exceed the 10% threshold by 37 spaces.
Corporate Center at the Gardens
Project Narrative
July 25, 2011
Page 9
The criteria for reducing the width of parking spaces to 9' requires additional open
space be provided. This site provides twice the open space required by the code which
helps to enhance the visual appearance of the site and to minimize any perceived
external visual impacts that may result from the additional parking. In addition, the
applicant will be making improvements to the landscaping to upgrade and enhance the
entrances and the foundation planting.
The proposed waiver meets the criteria established in the Land Development
Regulations under Section 78- 158(1).
We believe that the design of this project is consistent with previously approved projects
in the City, is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Planned Unit Development
Overlay District regulations, and is consistent with comparable development standards
within other office development. For these reasons we feel the requested waiver should
be approved and respectfully request your support.

FROM: Richard Marrero, Senior Planner � l
SUBJECT: Corporate Center at the Gardens PUD Amendment
CC: Natalie M. Crowley, AICP, Director of Planning & Zoning
Petition PUDA- 11 -07- 000032: Requesting approval of a PUD amendment to
allow for the following modifications: (1) Increase the number of parking
spaces on the site; (2) modify the site and landscape plans; (3) relocate the
approved wall and ground signage for the site; and (4) amend the signage
plan for Building A.
The following comments are based on your project submittal received by the City
on July 26, 2011 and deemed sufficient on July 28, 2011:
Planning & Zoning
Site Plan Comments
Richard Marrero, Senior Planner
The site data table indicates 28 spaces proposed to be located within the
parking garage; however, the existing approved plan indicates 26 spaces
located within the parking garage. Please clarify if there are changes
within the parking garage proposed with this petition. If so, please
provide a site plan using clouding or bubbling to indicate the proposed
modifications.
2. The proposed plan indicates a location for Art In Public Places (AIPP);
however, no art exists in the location on -site. Please revise.
3. The proposed Building Signage Plan indicates four (4) letter colors for flat
wall signs. Please provide color chips or a graphic indicating the
proposed colors. Also, please provide a font type to utilize for all flat/wall
signage.
4. The applicant indicates a logo on the Building Signage Plan. Please
include a note on the Building Signage Plan that allows for corporate
logos.
According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the "O" in
Oxford International does not appear to be a registered service mark of
the corporation and is in fact a letter, which is subject to the maximum
36 -inch letter height allowed by City Code.
5. The applicant indicates in the Project Narrative that ground floor tenant
signage is requested with this petition. Is the applicant requesting
approval of ground floor tenant signage for all three (3) buildings on -site
or just Building A? Please clarify.
Due to the size and unique shape of Building A, there is the possibility
that multiple tenants could request ground floor tenant signs. In this
event, the 1St floor of the building could potentially become cluttered with
many tenant signs. Please address this concern with some potential
ideas (i.e. show future signage locations on building elevations, develop
criteria on granting ground floor tenants signage, etc.).
6. The applicant shall request a waiver for the additional sign on the west
elevation facing Interstate 95. As part of the waiver justification, the
elimination of the previously approved signage waiver for the east
elevation will be considered by staff.
Landscape Comments
Mark Hendrickson, City Forester
Staff has reviewed the Land Development Regulations for the above referenced
petition, and provides the following comments:
7. Please update the plant list to include quantities, sizes, and species of
plant material to be removed, relocated or added. Also include the point
value for each plant species. Please supply the total points to determine
the net loss or gain of points with the changes proposed.
8. Please supply the net square footage of open space proposed to be
changed with this petition.
9. There are many missing hedges along the 1 -95 buffer. Is it the intent of
the applicant to replace those plants at this time?
10. Staff anticipates a condition of approval setting a time when the applicant
would have all the landscaping approved with this petition completed for
2
inspection by the City. Staff would like to discuss this at the Development
Review Committee meeting.
GIS Department
Aries Page, GIS Manager
11. The applicant shall correct all documentation for signage to refer to the
correct approved address for the site: 4200 Northcorp Parkway. On the
sheet titled "S -1" it is incorrectly labeled as 4200 Wackenhut Drive in the
title bar. This is the former address for the site.
Building Department
Scott Danielski, building Official
12.The Building Division has reviewed the plans and offers the following
comments:
a. Building permit submittals will be required for the ground and wall
signs proposed with this petition.
b. It is difficult to determine which areas within the parking lot are
being modified with this petition. Please use clouding or shading on
the plans to identify the proposed modifications.
Fire Department
Deputy Chief Scott Fetterman
13. Fire Rescue has no adverse comments or concerns at this time.
Seacoast Utility Authority
Bruce Gregg, Director of Operations
14. We have the following comment on your transmittal dated July 20, 2011
concerning the referenced project. The applicant needs to coordinate the
location of the proposed sign and additional landscaping at the south
entrance with the three (3) existing private water lines and gas main
located in this area.
Engineering Department
Todd Engle, P.E.
Denise Alfonso, P.E.
15.The applicant shall label, dimension and cloud the site plan to clearly
identify all proposed site features including, but not limited to, curb
(noting type and extents), curb radii, parking stalls (standard and
handicap), signs, etc.

16. The applicant shall show the minimum required 12' x 35' maneuvering
aprons for the loading zones, as required by Section 78 -362 of the LDR.
17. For the handicap parking stall adjacent to building A (two story side),
please provide the 5 -foot passenger isle required. If a ramp is being
proposed at this location, please, show and label all ADA required
elements on the site plan.
18. Please note that since the exact locations for some of the proposed signs
are not provided due to possible future field utility conflicts, the exact
locations will have to be reviewed and approved by the Engineering
Department prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the
Miscellaneous Engineering Permit for compliance with the site visibility
triangles. Final locations may have to be adjusted to comply with this
requirement.
Police Department
Officer Julius Baron
19. The Police Department has reviewed the application requesting approval
of a PUD amendment to allow modifications to the approved plans. The
Police Department has concerns with the current lighting and access
control of the underground parking garage. Upon visiting the parking
garage, several areas were not illuminated and visibility was poor. The
Police Department recommends additional light fixtures be added to the
garage area to provide adequate lighting for vehicles and pedestrians.
Additionally, the Police Department requests the applicant submit a
security plan and narrative to address potential security concerns.
Further comments may be made after reviewing the applicant's
