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. Use and District Requirements. The proposal must conform to the requirements of the zoning district(s) in which it is located and, where applicable, to the requirements of Chapter 58 for the particular use or activity under consideration. 4. Performance and Design Regulations. The proposal must conform to all applicable performance and design regulations of LDC Chapters 58, 60, 61, and Public Facilities and Services.

Conformance with Growth Management Plan and Zoning The property is designated Urban Activity Center on the City s Future Land Use Map and is zoned AC-2 (Urban Activity Center). The property is within GMP Subarea Policy S.24.2, which references the property s location within the

4 Page 4 Millenia DRI. Auto dealerships are considered an intensive retail use and, if not located within the Millenia DRI, would require a Conditional Use Permit in the AC-2 zoning district. However, auto dealerships are a permitted use for many or most of the parcels in the Millenia DRI, via the approval of a Master Plan (or amendment) prior to permit submittal. Millenia DRI - The site is shown as Parcel B2 within the Millenia DRI (see DRI map below). The Jaguar/Aston Martin/Infiniti dealership currently has 67,746 sq. ft. gross floor area (GFA). The intent is to remove the former ±4,320 sq. ft. SmartCar building and replace it with a 4-story 92,274 sq. ft. vehicle storage facility with a 5,900 sq. ft. auto detailing area on the ground floor. The vehicle storage facility will be attached to the existing 42,804 sq. ft. Infiniti dealership building on the east side of the parcel (the left/west side is occupied by the Jaguar/Aston Martin dealership). Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - Vehicle storage garages are a fairly new commodi- Audi Target DRI MAP ty for Orlando area vehicle dealerships. Vehicles are currently stored on the roof of the Infiniti dealership and on a single-story parking deck built over a SUBJECT BestBuy retention pond north of the PROPERTY Jaguar/Aston Martin dealership. Two (2) other proposed dealerships, Carvana and Porsche, will also have vehi- I-4 cle inventory garages or buildings. Mercedes Customers are typically not allowed inside inventory garages or buildings, and these structures are also not heated or air conditioned. Parking garages (used for public parking) are not included in Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculations, but vehicle storage structures, regardless if they re unheated MALL and un-air conditioned, will be counted towards the total FAR for the parcel but not against the total FAR allowance within the Millenia DRI. Property development standards are provided in Table 2 at right. Aside from the rear setback needing to be adjusted to a minimum 10 ft., the proposed Master Plan amendment is consistent with the GMP and Land Development Code. Urban Design The proposed vehicle storage building will be 5-stories (50 ft.) tall, with 4 floors of inventory parking (±86,374 sq. ft. of unheated/non- Table 2 - Development Standards (AC-2 zoning) Proposed Use: 92,274 sq. ft. 4-story attached auto inventory garage with a 5,900 sq. ft. heated & AC ed ground floor auto detailing area (adding to adjusted 64,054 sq. ft. building area for other dealerships on property) Area (acres) ±5.67 (246,98 5 sq. ft.)

Infiniti dealership building. The applicant has provided building elevations and perspective views for the proposed vehicle storage building. Buffers & Landscaping. The proposed vehicle inventory building abuts Interstate 4 to the north and retail and restaurants to the east, with the Jaguar and Aston Martin dealership to the west and south of the Infiniti dealership building. Required and proposed buffers and landscaping are provided in Table 3 on the following page. Per LDC Section , Figures 8 & 9, no land use buffer is required on the east side, adjacent to retail and restaurant uses, but per (156,328 sq. ft.) 85%

5 Page 5 LDC Section (a7), a minimum 7.5 ft. vehicle use buffer is required on the north (rear, within the minimum 10 ft. rear building setback) and east side. Signage. Per LDC Section , total sign area is based on linear building frontage facing Millenia Blvd. A 50-ft. tall vehicle storage building is being added to the Millenia Infiniti dealership, which will be 13 ft. taller than the existing sales/ showroom building (37 ft.). Required & Proposed Buffer Depths Minimum Required Proposed Vehicle Storage Building & Detail Area Table 3 Buffers & Landscaping Front (S - Millenia Blvd.) 7.5 ft. (vehicular use buffer)(vub) 7.5 ft.

VUB (within minimum required 10 ft. building setback next to I-4) The proposed vehicle storage building elevations do not show wall signs on any of the building elevations. The existing combined Jaguar/Aston Martin/Infiniti dealership currently has no high-rise signs and sign area for the property is capped at sq. ft. (per VAR ). Placement of high-rise signs within the confines of the property would reduce the allowed total signage within the site by half. Construction of the proposed inventory storage building would not afford the property additional sign area because additional building frontage on I-4 does not count toward total sign area (sign area is based on building frontage on a public or private street, not limited access highways). All signs must be permitted prior to fabrication and erection of said signs. Signs are subject to Appearance Review at time of permitting. Transportation The development site is accessed solely from Millenia Blvd. Cross access exists along a shared driveway in front of the Jaguar/Aston Martin dealership, west to in front of the adjacent Mercedes Benz dealership, but is not being used by either dealership. Parking. The multi-brand dealership is already adequately parked. No additional customer parking areas are proposed (only inventory parking and vehicles being detailed on the ground floor of the vehicle inventory building. Stormwater & Wastewater. A master stormwater pond for the parcel is located on the north side of the Jaguar/Aston Martin dealership. A single-story inventory parking deck was constructed over said stormwater pond in 2012 (following approval of MPL ). Solid Waste. The site has Code-compliant dumpsters within enclosures located throughout the site. The ground floor of the new vehicle inventory building will have high ceilings to allow solid waste and fire trucks full access through the building to continue to encircle the Infiniti dealership building (if need be). School Impacts - The proposed vehicle inventory building will be an addition to the existing Infiniti auto dealership (non-residential), so school concurrency and capacity policies are not applicable to the proposed Master Plan amendment. Next Steps - Minutes from the April 18, 2017 MPB meeting are scheduled for review and approval by City Council on Mon. May 15, Building permits may be submitted following the MPB meeting but cannot be approved until the City Council approves the April 2017 MPB meeting minutes and the administrative Final Site Plan determination has been submitted and approved.
