The Creative Village Planned Development was established in 2012 to provide development criteria to ensure compatible de-velopment as the site is developed and build upon the presence of the University of Central Florida’s Center for Emerging Me-dia and the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), Development within the Planned Development shall be urban, mixed use development which takes advantage of its location and physical assets to create a diverse, energetic, and innova-tive community. The proposed central energy plant is consistent with the land use (primarily educational) designated for the site.

The applicant is requesting Specific Parcel Master Plan approval to develop a 9,221 sq. ft. central energy plant building with condenser water pumps and cooling towers located outside.

Land Development—TeNeika Neasman Lots D have an underlying zoning of AC-2 with a maximum building height of 150 feet. The following footnotes apply to devel-opment on this lot: 1. Ancillary retail/commercial space is allowed. Section 3.12(b) of the PD states: At least 70% of the building wall must meet the maximum setback of 15 ft. Staff recom-mends approval of a Modification to allow the building wall to be set back 15 ft. from the back of curb and approve the pro-posed setbacks from the property line. Approval of this request is inline with the approved streetscape and conceptual open space plan for this portion of the planned development. The University of Central Florida (UCF) Downtown Central Energy Plant at Creative Village application complies with height, FAR, and buffering of outdoor use requirements as outlined in the Planned Development Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the site plan for this development with the conditions in this staff report. Appearance Review Board — Doug Metzger, AICP, LMT Typically, a central energy plant [CEP] for a facility wouldn’t raise much concern because they are typically located in the rear or off in a low visibility corner of a project site. That isn’t the case with the proposed UCF Central Energy Plant. The UCF CEP sits front and center on the downtown UCF campus with a front door that faces the future Terry Avenue extension and facing the central campus pedestrian path between the campus bookstore and the Dr. Phillips Academic Commons on the east side of Terry Ave. Additionally, our Land Development Code [LDC] and Creative Village PD Ordinance stress screening mechanical equipment from view. That also isn’t the case since the UCF CEP is front and center not only on campus, but on an important future street. Because of the significant location of the UCF CEP, ARB staff has reviewed this application atypically. If the UCF CEP location is going to be front and center, the design should be celebrated and put on display, not minimized. Therefore, there should be an emphasis on transparency and architectural detail. There is a good amount of transparency on the north façade which faces the central pedestrian corridor of the campus. The transparent garage doors on the east, Terry Ave. facing façade, provide views into the interior of the space. However, the south façade which will, once Terry Ave. is connected to the south, be one of the primary gateways into campus and it has no transparency. Additional transparency should be added to this façade, whether it is through the use of real windows or span-drel glass faux windows. ARB staff is also recommending that brise soleils or sunshades be installed above the garage doors on the east façade, above the first floor windows on the north façade and above the new first floor “windows” on the south façade. Finally, the east façade is visually out-of-balance. Either the northern garage door should be moved to the center of the mod-ule it is located in, or the vertical scoring between the two garage doors on the east façade should be moved to the optical cen-ter between the 2 doors.

6. Master Plan Expiration- Upon approval of the Master Plan By City Council, a building permit shall be obtained for any new work to the site within two (2) years of approval of the Master Plan, or the Master Plan shall expire (the applicant would then need to apply for a new Master Plan). If a building permit for the work requiring said Master Plan expires, then the Master Plan is no longer valid and the applicant must apply for a new Master Plan or a new master plan amendment. However, the Planning Offi-cial may extend the time limit for the Master plan for one period of up to 12 Months for good cause shown, upon written applica-tion filed 30 days prior to the expiration date of said Master plan.

7. Height- The height must not exceed 150 ft. 8. Impervious Surface Ratio- The applicant shall identify the amount of pervious surface that is to remain, and must provide a cu-

mulative total for all approved Master Plans. The master stormwater system for the Creative Village is being designed to accom-modate 0.95 ISR for Property and shall be calculated on a project wide basis, per section 3.12(e).

9. Floor Area Ratio. The density must not exceed the proposed .30 Floor Area Ratio per acre as propose. 10. Setback Modification– 70% of the building wall must meet the minimum setback. The building is setback 15 ft. from the curb

along Parramore Ave., Concord St., and Ameila St. The building is setback 19 ft. from the back of curb along the Alley Way or Tertiary Street. (Correct, Parramore Ave., Concord St, and Amelia St street names on Master Site Plan)

11. ARB Major Certificate of Appearance Approval – The applicant must obtain an ARB Major Certificate of Appearance Review from the Creative Village Design Review Committee upon approval of the CVDRC meeting minutes by the Orlando City Council.

12. Statute- In accordance with subsection 166.033(5), Florida Statutes, it is hereby made a condition of this permit that all applica-ble local, state or federal permits and approvals be obtained before commencement of construction.

Transportation Planning– John Rhoades 1. Compactor Operations—A turning movement analysis for the trash compactor operation must be submitted to CVDRC staff prior

to approval of state building permits to confirm full operational vehicle access to the compactor. Public Works—Nicki Wesson 1. Engineering/Public Works review is preliminary in nature, and is intended to assist the applicant with understanding City require-

ments. The design will be reviewed in detail for compliance with the Engineering Standards Manual during the review of any City engineering permits, if required.

For questions regarding Site Engineering/Public Works Plan Review issues contact Nicki Wesson at (407) 246-3264 or nicki.wesson@cityoforlando.net. Water Reclamation– David Breitrick 1. The existing conditions plan depicts an incomplete network of existing gravity sewer mains, lift station and force main on the

subject property. Please contact the Water Reclamation Division (WRD) for records about the existing sanitary sewer system. 2. The site work construction plans will need to include a demolition plan that will depict the removal and/or proper abandonment

of all existing sanitary sewer facilities on the property. The WRD records indicate a network of gravity sewer mains, a City lift sta-tion, and force main. The force main discharges into another network of gravity mains directed to the north.

3. Decommissioning of the existing City lift station (LS 190) may need to be a separate engineering permit.

Orlando Police Department 1. The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for the UCF Power Plant located at 325 N. Parramore Ave., applying

CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of the built environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement, Target Hardening, and Maintenance and Management.

For questions regarding Orlando Police Department plan review, please contact Audra Rigby at 407.246.2454 or audra.rigby@cityoforlando.net. Fire 1. TRC fire code review is preliminary in nature and is not considered a full life safety or architectural review. It is intended to ex-

pose or prevent evident design deficiencies with State and City Fire Codes. The building design, floor plans, egress system, fire protection systems and MEP will be reviewed in detail for State and City Fire Code compliance at the time of permit application.

2. Be advised that any new construction must adhere to the requirements of the Florida Fire Prevention Code, Sixth Edition, and The City of Orlando Fire Prevention Code Chapter 24.

3. Design of buildings must account for fire department access. The access road itself must extend 50ft. from at least one exterior doorway to allow access to the building’s interior. Any portion of the building or exterior wall of the first story shall be located not more than 150 ft from the fire department access road as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. The distance can be increased to 450ft. if the building is protected by an automatic sprinkler system. [NFPA 1.18.2.3.2.2 and NFPA 1.18.2.3.2.2.1]

4. An approved turnaround shall be provided for fire apparatus where an access road is a dead end in access of 150 ft, and road-ways shall have all-weather driving surface, capable of supporting the load of fire apparatus, a minimum 20 ft. in width, and a minimum vertical clearance of at least 13 ft. 6 in. [NFPA 1 18.2.2.5.4 and NFPA 1 18.2.3.4.1.1 ]

5. The plan indicates fire hydrants will be required. Because building information is not provided, fire hydrant location and spacing will be reviewed at the time of building permitting. All portions of an unsprinkled building must be within 300 ft hose lay distance of a fire hydrant. All portions of a sprinkled building must be within 500 ft hose lay distance of a fire hydrant. City Code ch 24.27(f).
