3 Page 3 P R O JECT ANALYSIS Project Description The subject property is located at the southeast corner of S. Bumby Ave. and E Gore St., north of Dellwood Dr. in the Lake Como neighborhood. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a 159,458 sq. ft.. 1,211 student K-8 school. The site is a total of acres and proposed for the site are a combination of administration/classroom facilities, gymnasium, outdoor play areas, a parking garage and maintenance of the existing ballfield along the northwest corner of the site. The site has a Future Land Use designation of Public/Recreational & Institutional and a zoning designation of P (Public Use). The proposal is consistent with the Zoning and Future Land Use designations. Previous Actions: 1950: Lake Como Elementary School Constructed. Project Context The subject property currently contains the Lake Como Elementary School as well as the Lake Como Ballfields. The property is surrounded on all four sides by single family homes. The proposed development will be compatible with the surrounding uses. (See Table 1) North Table 1 Project Context Future Land Use Zoning Surrounding Use Residential Low Intensity (RES-LOW) Single Family Residential with Traditional city and Aircraft Noise Overlays (R-1A/T/ AN) East RES-LOW Single Family Residential (R-1A) & R-1A/ AN Single Family Residences (Across E. Gore St.) Single Family Residences South RES-LOW R-1A Single Family Residences (Across S. Bumby Ave.) West RES-LOW R-1A/T/AN Single Family Residences Conformance with the GMP Located in the Lake Como Neighborhood, the +/12.14 subject property is generally located south of E. Gore St., north of Dellwood Dr., east of S. Bumby Ave., and west of S. Primrose Dr. The applicant is requesting a CUP to allow the redevelopment of an existing school site to allow a new kindergarten through 8th grade school and new recreational facilities. Surrounding uses include single family residential to the north, south and east while to the west is single family residential as well as minor retail and medical office. The subject site is developed with an elementary school and recreational equipment. The expanded school use is compatible with the surrounding predominately residential area. Surrounding future land uses include Residential Low Intensity to the north, south, east and west and associated zoning districts of R -1A with the Traditional City (/T) and Aircraft Noise (/AN) overlays to the north, west and north-east, while to the south and southeast is R-1. The subject site has the Public, Recreational and Institutional future land use designation and P (Public) zoning and P zoning with the Aircraft Noise Overlay (/AN). The Development standards for Public, Recreational and Institutional are determined through the Conditional Use Permitting (CUP) process. There are no future land use subarea policies which apply to the subject site. The Aircraft Noise Overlay district identifies that a portion of this site is in Zone E and no noise mitigation is needed. The site will include a three story (47 ft. high), 159,458 sq. ft. building, playgrounds, track/field facilities and a replacement ballfield. The estimated FAR is The development while taller than the original two story high building is not wholly incompatible with the surrounding residential development and associated residential zoning, which allows heights of up to 30 feet. The recreational amenities may be shared with the public through a joint use agreement with the Orange County Public Schools.

4 Page 4 The Comprehensive Planning studio defers to Land Development as it concerns tree preservation, buffers to the east and south, sidewalk connectivity, introduction of public bus shelters, improvement of abutting street infrastructure, as well as stormwater capacity and related flooding issues. Conformance with the LDC The development site has an existing zoning designation of P. Per LDC Section , The P District is intended to provide for the use of lands owned by any public body for Public Benefit uses, and to eliminate confusion on the Official Zoning Map as to the use and status of these lands. Section also states because the use of land in the P district is limited entirely to Public Benefit uses, the district shall be applied only to properties owned by public bodies. Rezoning to the P district shall only take place by initiation of the Municipal Planning Board or City Council. Conditional Use Permit Criteria (LDC Section ) The Municipal Planning Board and City Council shall consider the following factors in their review of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications: 1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the use and all other requirements of the LDC. 2. Growth Management Plan (GMP). The consistency of the proposal with all applicable policies of the City's adopted GMP. 3. Compatibility. The compatibility of the proposal with surrounding land uses and the general character of the area including such factors as height, bulk, scale, intensity, traffic, noise, drainage, dust, lighting, appearance, etc. 4. Public Facilities and Services. Will necessary public facilities (both on- and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, recreation, etc. be adequate to serve the proposed use. 5. Residential Displacement. Determine the extent to which the proposed use, location and building site design would displace existing residential uses on the site or would encourage displacement of residential uses adjacent to the site, and consider alternative uses, locations and/or site designs which could minimize residential displacement. 6. Other Matters. Any other matter which the Board/Council may deem appropriate and relevant to the specific proposal. Development Standards: In the P zoning designation development standards are established through the CUP process. Tables 2 & 3 provide the proposed development standards. The majority of the structures are 1-story, with the media center at 2-stories and the administration/classroom building at 3-stories (47.5 ft. tall). The proposed parking garage is also 3-stories. Currently the site is situated with the buildings along the southern perimeter of the site and the ballfields along the north. The proposal will relocate the structures along the center and the northern edge, with one ballfield to remain in the northwest corner, and the track field and retention ponds along the south. This will provide for a logical transition from the commercial uses to the north to the residential uses to the south. Acreage Use Sq.

The City of Orlando does not have any current plans to improve E Gore Ave. adjacent to the school site but the school will be providing or retaining sidewalks on the perimeter of the school site along the southern side of E Gore St. and the eastern side of S. Bumby Ave. as shown on the submitted site plans. Per City code, the minimum parking requirements for K-8 schools is based on the number of class rooms and gymnasium seats. As a result, a total of 231 spaces are required per code (See Table 4 for details). OCPS is subject to FBC (Florida Building Code) and/or SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) parking requirements, which are 1 space/100 students (1342 students) and 1 space/ staff (120 staff) for a total of 135 parking spaces. Proposed are 139 parking spaces, which, while not consistent with City of Orlando Parking Regulations (LDC Sec Figure 27) is consistent with the SREF. The applicant has also provided city staff with a traffic study evaluating the surrounding area, traffic and queuing. Infrastructure Stormwater: Stormwater will be accommodated on-site via exfiltration beneath the sports fields on the southern portion of the site. Wastewater: The existing elementary school is served by the City of Orlando and a sewer capacity analysis shall be conducted to determine the impacts of the change of use to the K-8. Solid Waste: Solid waste will be stored in a trash enclosure located to the south of building 2 and must meet all City codes. Public Safety: The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for Lake Como K8 School located at 901 S. Bumby Ave., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of a created environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening.
