1 CITY%OF%ORLANDO% GMP%%MAP%AMENDMENT%APPLICATION% DIOCESE%OF%CENTRAL%FL%/%LAKE%NONA%HOLDINGS%% JUSTIFICATION%STATEMENT% % 1% The proposed development is a horizontal mixed use project that integrates compatible uses both internally and externally. Internally it is anticipated that all uses will be able to share the proposed open space tract, that the commercial and church uses may be able to share parking, given the nature of their different peak requirements, and that the apartments will be able to walk to utilize services offer by the Church and the commercial areas. Additionally the apartments will be an attractive location for students that utilize the Education Village PD adjacent to the site to the west. The project will take advantage of shared infrastructure for items such as roads, sidewalks, utilities, open space, green space, master stormwater management, etc. The existing site conditions consist generally of a cleared vacant site that has considerable frontage on the Narcoossee Roadway corridor as well as Tyson Road and slopes to the east towards Lake Whipporwill. The character of the surrounding area is quickly changing from what has historically been a mix of varying size singlefamily lots and mobile homes to a more dense/intense urbanized character due to the nearby activity centers of Lake Nona & Medical City, which collectively are considered to be the largest economic centers outside of the downtown core. The potential impact of the proposed project on the surrounding properties is increased market choices for providing commercial/retail/restaurant type uses abutting the Narcoossee Corridor, the ability to provide new and nearby religious opportunities via the proposed Church to serve the existing and growing residential population of the area, and the ability to live close to work with the apartments relative to the previously mentioned nearby employment centers as well as proximity to transportation infrastructure like the Expressway just to the North and the Orlando International Airport just a little farther to the Northwest. Please note that the only area of potential concern for impact from a transition of proposed to existing uses would be from the proposed apartments to the existing single family residential along the eastern and southern property lines. At the east property line the proposed plan mitigates this transition by incorporating a stormwater management facility anticipated to be a sizeable wet pond as well as green space anticipated to remain undeveloped between the two uses. To the south where smaller lot single family homes exist in the Eagle Creek DRI, the site is separated by Tyson road and the existing Eagle Creek PD buffer. Both are more than sufficient to mitigate any real or perceived transitional impacts associated with change in types of densities. As the proposed commercial use along Narcoossee is an obvious best and highest use and apartments are under construction adjacent to the site to the north, no other compatibility issues are anticipated. The project will utilize the established planning principles and techniques as outlined in the City of Orlando s Growth Management Plan for the Southeast Sector for the site s proposed Urban Village designation. The proposed project meets the following goals, policies, and objectives:

2 CITY%OF%ORLANDO% GMP%%MAP%AMENDMENT%APPLICATION% DIOCESE%OF%CENTRAL%FL%/%LAKE%NONA%HOLDINGS%% JUSTIFICATION%STATEMENT% % Policy % The City shall promote the utilization of sustainability/traditional Neighborhood Design concepts through the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan, Baldwin Park Planned Development (PD), the Parramore Heritage Plan area, the Traditional City and Designed Community Land Development Code regulations, and the Mixed Use/Neighborhood Development future land use designation. (Amended February 7, 2000, Effective March 9, 2000, Doc. No ; Amended June 8, 2009, Effective August 25, 2009, Doc. No ) Policy Because the Southeast/Orlando International Airport Future Growth Center currently contains a large employment population, one that will continue to grow well into the future, a mixture of urban land uses and development opportunities must be provided in order to serve that population. A mixed use community is desirable in this area because of its proximity to the Orlando International Airport and the emerging Medical City. Therefore, Planned Development shall be encouraged, including a mixture of residential use types, hotel, retail/commercial, office, industrial, and airport support, biomedical research and commerce, hospital, postsecondary education, conservation, and recreational uses. (Amended October 17, 1994, Effective January 4, 1995, Doc. No ; Amended July 26, 2010, Effective August 26, 2010, Doc. No ) Policy The Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area shall accommodate approximately 13,300 residential units, 2.1 million square feet of retail, 3.3 million square feet of office, 1,950 hotel rooms, 4.7 million square feet of industrial space, and 600,000 square feet of civic/government space by the year In order to build a sustainable community in the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area, development shall conform to a land use plan which promotes a positive jobshousing balance recognizing the presence of Orlando International Airport, provides for an integrated mixture of land uses featuring diverse residential uses and centrally located nonresidential cultural and civic uses, and provides for increased accessibility and interconnectedness through an integrated multimodal transportation system, featuring a strong pedestrian environment and network. This land use plan will integrate urban activity with appropriate environmental protections, providing opportunities for social interaction within the context of an integrated amenity framework. This plan shall be implemented through land development regulations which enhance the advantages of the Orlando International Airport and utilize Traditional Design concepts to create a hierarchy of places

In the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area, mixed use centers and residential neighborhoods shall be compact, walkable, and interconnected, and residential neighborhoods shall be defined by diverse and integrated housing opportunities, easily accessible public space and activated by locally oriented civic and commercial facilities. The City shall promote design concepts that provide a strong connection between nature and the built environment, and shall pursue an innovative and comprehensive approach to stormwater control by integrating these facilities with parks and open space, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and wetland protection/wildlife corridors. The City shall encourage the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design techniques throughout the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area. (Amended June 29, 1998, Effective July 30, 1998, Doc. No ) Policy Development in the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area shall be encouraged to incorporate sustainable land use techniques and principles which ensure a strong local economy, produce communities of diverse livable neighborhoods, and conserve and protect the fragile natural and built environment. The Town Center/Urban Transit Center; Village Center/Urban Transit Center; Village Center; Neighborhood Center; Residential Neighborhood and associated Residential Center future land use categories shall be applied singularly and together to ensure: a. Development in the form of coherent and compact interconnected districts and neighborhoods with clearly defined centers and edges and a diverse mix of activities (residences, shops, schools, workplaces and parks, etc.) located to minimize the use of the automobile. b. Mixed and multiple use integrated districts providing residential and employment opportunities and variety of shops, services, restaurants, and civic activities that serve the needs of surrounding neighborhoods. c. Diverse, compact (typically no more than one quarter mile from center to edge) neighborhoods which encourage pedestrian activity. f. The celebration of public space. Civic buildings, such as government offices, community or neighborhood centers, churches and libraries should be sited in prominent locations, which are accessible to the pedestrian. Open spaces, such as parks, playgrounds, squares, and greenbelts should be located at accessible locations throughout a neighborhood.

4 CITY%OF%ORLANDO% GMP%%MAP%AMENDMENT%APPLICATION% DIOCESE%OF%CENTRAL%FL%/%LAKE%NONA%HOLDINGS%% JUSTIFICATION%STATEMENT% % Policy % In the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area, the City shall combine the mobility of the traditional interconnected street pattern with the safety, security, and topographic sensitivity of the conventional or contemporary network. Such a hybrid network features short, curved stretches that follow the lay of the land or contribute to good urban design, as well as short loops and culdesacs, so long as the higherorder street network is left intact. Higherorder means arterials, collectors, and subcollectors that carry through traffic. An acceptable master plan may feature interrupted grids of short streets ending at T or Y intersections, traffic circles or squares/parks. By design, local streets may carry some throughtraffic, but the truncated nature of local streets means that traffic moves more slowly and the heaviest volumes are diverted to higherorder streets. A simple measure of connectivity is the number of street links divided by the number of nodes or link ends (including culdesac heads). The more links relative to nodes, the more connectivity. A connectivity index of 1.4 to 1.8 represents the optimum for a street network. Criteria for applying this connectivity index was reviewed with the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan partnership and was incorporated in the Land Development Code. (Amended June 29, 1998, Effective July 30, 1998, Doc. No ; Amended June 8, 2009, Effective August 25, 2009, Doc. No ) Policy Streets provide a highly visible element in the public realm. For this reason, major public utility lines should be located underground. All electrical, cable, telephone, and other distribution lines within private developments in the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan area shall be located underground. (Amended June 29, 1998, Effective July 30, 1998, Doc. No )
