RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL TRANSITION OVERLAY DISTRICT INTENT Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District The intention of this County-initiated Application is intended to encourage a live-work environment which promotes redevelopment activity, protect the existing neighborhoods and strengthens the economic development climate. Englewood has many artists that wish to create an artist s community similar to Towles Court which is located near downtown Sarasota. It is the intent of the Residential/Commercial Transition Overlay District, to encourage activities such as home-based office, art galleries, artist studios, and bed and breakfast establishments, as well as low-intensity office, professional and institutional uses. The standards were designed to permit and encourage the coordinated development of mixed land uses and activities in a concentrated area to attract both residents and visitors. Internal sidewalks and pathways are encouraged between separate activities or establishments. The mixed use component will allow office spaces in residences and residential dwellings above or behind shops. Additionally, this district was intended to create a stable edge along the boundaries of an existing commercial area by encouraging the preservation and enhancement of existing housing, including historic structures, and by allowing the provision of new housing, office, galleries, artist studios, and bed and breakfasts. Per the recommendations of the Englewood CRA, the County is processing Rezone Petition No 10-03 to apply the (Residential, Commercial Transition Overlay District (RCTOD) which is the implementing overlay district for the LOAOD designation, to those properties within the expanded Town Center area. This petition is for that overlay district. Both the Rezone petition and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Town Center expansion will be heard by the Sarasota County Commission on the same date. EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING As the map series shows the Englewood Town Center area is within the urban area, is fully developed and is a target area for redevelopment and infill. Nearby, there is commercial zoning and existing commercial uses all along the West Dearborn Street frontage both north and south, and along Indiana Avenue within the Englewood Town Center. Additionally, all the parcels immediately to the west of Expansion Area #1 have the Residential Commercial Transition Overlay (RCTOD) district created to allow more mixed-uses, and economic development opportunities associated with the RCTOD. Proposed expansion Area #1 is residential in character (as shown on page 5 of the map series), with all the parcels zoned either Residential Single Family-3 (four and a half dwelling units per acre), and Residential Multifamily-1 (six dwelling units per acre). 7
HISTORY AND CONTEXT 1997 Englewood Town Center Revitalization Plan The Sarasota County Commission adopted the Englewood Town Center Revitalization Plan (the Plan ) in 1997 by Ordinance No. 97-015. This revitalization plan was developed with significant community involvement. The purpose of the revitalization plan is to promote revitalization and redevelopment activity within the Englewood Town Center. A statement of intent of the Englewood Revitalization Plan, directed Sarasota County staff to establish a Community Redevelopment Agency ( CRA ) as authorized under Florida State Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III ( Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 ). There continues to be clear support for County and community initiatives to stimulate redevelopment in Englewood. In 2000, the Englewood Community Redevelopment Agency ( Englewood CRA ) citizen s advisory committee was formed to oversee the implementation of the Plan and work with the community to promote redevelopment in the Englewood area. The Plan, which was adopted in 1997, designated properties along Old Englewood Road north of West Dearborn Street as Light Office/Arts Overlay District (LOAOD). The intention of the designation was to allow a live/work environment, similar to Towles Court in the City of Sarasota and Village of the Arts in Bradenton. The Arts Office Overlay District was created and added to the Zoning Ordinance in 2002 as the implementing zoning district. When the County updated the Zoning Ordinance in 2004, the zoning district s name was changed to Residential- Commercial Transition Overlay District (RCTOD). The Englewood community has many artists and artisans that wish to establish a similar area to help revitalize the area by providing added interest to the business sector and a transition between the downtown and residential areas. 2007-2008 Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District Expansion Phase I: To protect the existing residents and residential character of the neighborhoods, the community requested that certain uses be prohibited in Englewood that were previously allowed in the RCTOD (health club or spa, gymnastics facility and hair or nail service) and they also wanted a mandatory residential component so the area does not become businesses only, as what occurred in Towles Court in the City of Sarasota. On August 27, 2008, Ordinance 2008-077 was approved by the Sarasota County Commission applying the first RCTOD area within Englewood. The initial expansion of the Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District included rezoning of various properties in Englewood near the downtown along West Dearborn Street (approximately 51.47 acres) which began as a grass-roots effort in 2005 by a group of local artists. The Englewood community wanted to apply the RCTOD to encourage a mix of uses to properties near Dearborn Street. The idea was supported by the Englewood CRA Advisory Board, the Chamber of Commerce and the Olde Englewood Village Association. The local community requested that the County process the rezone petition and expand the area designated in the Revitalization Plan. As part of the 2006/07 update to the Englewood CRA Redevelopment Plan effort, the community encouraged the County to apply the RCTOD. As with all overlay districts, the RCTOD was applied to the existing underlying zoning district, which in Rezone Petition No. 08-05 included RSF-3, RMF-1, RMF-4 and RMH. 8
2009 2010 Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District Expansion Phase II: The community requested that the RCTOD be able to be applied to a larger area than what was recommended in the Englewood Town Center Revitalization Plan. This request prompted the need to amend the Sarasota County Future Land Use Map (expand the Englewood Town Center boundaries). The rezoning of properties that currently lie outside the Englewood Town Center boundaries could not occur until the Future Land Use Map is amended. Once the Future Land Use Map amendment is approved, the County will process another rezone petition to apply the RCTOD to those properties within this expanded Town Center area. As part of the 2010-01 Cycle of Comprehensive Plan Amendments, on November 17, 2009 the Sarasota County Commission authorized transmittal to DCA for Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2010-01-H which proposed the expansion of the Englewood Town Center boundaries on the Comprehensive Plan s Future Land Use Map, to include approximately 18.5 acres (Northern Addition) east of North Elm Street and north of W. Wentworth Street. By expanding the boundaries of the Englewood Town Center, this Comprehensive Plan amendment would allow these properties to be designated Light Office Arts Overlay District (LOAOD) on the Englewood Future Land Use Plan map (as shown on page 4 of the map series), and subsequently rezoned with the RCTOD. This petition is for that RCTOD expansion. NEIGHBORHOOD WORKSHOPS The Englewood CRA has had ongoing discussions with the community regarding changes to the Englewood Town Center Revitalization Plan and the expansion of the Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District. For the 2010 cycle of County initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendments, three neighborhood workshops were held. The first neighborhood workshop was held in the Englewood Recreational Center, 101 N. Orange St., Englewood, Fl on March 25, 2009 with approximately 20 attendees; the second neighborhood workshop was held in the County Building, ITC Office and Warehouse, 1001 Sarasota Center Blvd. Sarasota, FL on March 26, 2009; and a third neighborhood workshop was held at 1660 Ringling on June 2, 2009. At the March 25, 2009 Workshop for CPA 2010-01-H, numerous residents residing in Expansion Area #1 expressed their desire to see the expansion area approved, so they could operate small home-based businesses allowed under the Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District (RCTOD). There were approximately a dozen comment cards with residents expressing their support. No one in attendance expressed any opposition to the Englewood Town Center Expansion. The comments cards summary can be found in Appendix A of this report. At the January 19, 2010 Neighborhood Workshop for Rezone Petition No. 10-03, there was only one resident in attendance. This was ostensibly because the neighborhood residents were aware of this workshop being the final workshop and had already expressed their support at the previous workshop for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Englewood Town Center. 9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY REVIEW Future Land Use The boundaries of the Englewood Town Center and the Nokomis and Osprey Village Centers have been delineated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map since 1996. There are several Future Land Use Policies which provide for additional development intensities and densities within designated town and village centers as part of an adopted critical area plan. As noted in the support text for the Future Land Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, The County recognizes the importance of fostering redevelopment efforts as a means of capitalizing on existing infrastructure and underutilized properties, improving our neighborhoods, as well as expanding the County s tax base. Future Land Use Policy 3.2.7 states, Commercial development may be permitted in Future Land Use Map designated Town and Village Centers outside the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map for commercial uses only upon adoption of the relevant Town or Village Center Plan. Expanding the Englewood Town Center boundary, with the Light Office/Arts Overlay on the Town Center Future Land Use Plan, Figure 1, is required to allow the Residential Commercial Office Overlay District and subsequent light office/arts uses. This expansion is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 3.2.7, which states, Commercial development may be permitted in Future Land Use Map designated Town and Village Centers outside the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map for commercial uses only upon adoption of the relevant Town or Village Center Plan. The Future Land Use map designates Expansion Area #1 as Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential which does not allow commercial uses. Expanding the town center boundaries will allow the LOAOD designation to be applied to the expansion area, and the subsequent small-businesses to be located in Expansion Area #1. Future Land Use Objective 4.1, Smart Growth, encourages redevelopment opportunities, utilizing smart growth principles, to transform underutilized properties and/or properties struggling with economic viability into developments that sustain and improve the economy, community, and environment. The expansion of the Town Center Boundary will allow a greater opportunity to utilize smart growth principles, such as a more walkable community enabling transformation, and redevelopment of under-utilized properties. Future Land Use Policy 4.1.1 regarding smart growth principles further states principles to attaining smart growth including several which will be utilized in the Englewood expansion areas such as Providing a mix of compatible uses and activities Creating walkable communities where employees live and work in the same building Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place Protect and enhance existing neighborhoods Preserve open space, natural beauty, and environmental areas Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration on development decisions Several of the smart growth principles above are applicable to this Amendment. The existing residential character of the neighborhoods where the Overlay District is to be applied will be protected by the provisions of the zoning district and the added Conditions for Development Approval contained in the Town Center Plan; the area s proximity to the downtown provides supporting synergy between the uses; and the Application is an ideal cooperative public-private collaborative venture. Additionally, FLU Policy 4.2.1 states that the smart growth principles and 10
incentives for redevelopment shall be implemented through zoning regulations, land development regulations, planning programs and processes, and community collaboration and awareness. One of the ways to implement this policy is through the Residential Commercial Transition Overlay District designation of the Sarasota County Zoning Ordinance allowed under the Englewood Town Center Future Land Use Plan s Light Office Arts Overlay District. Fostering redevelopment is also an important subject for Sarasota County in order to implement Smart Growth Principles. The expansion would allow mixed-use development with some mandatory residential components through the RCTOD implementation mechanism, by allowing smart growth, mixed-use principles into the future in compliance with Future Land Use Goal 5 by helping to ensure that the County s planning programs meet the varied planning needs of the community. Further, Future Land Use Future Land Use Policies 3.2.7 and 5.1.3 are applicable to this request. The existing character of the neighborhood where the Light Office/Arts Overlay District will further be strengthened as part of the CRA Strategic Initiatives Planning Program. The expansion will allow a larger area for the local artisan community and others, to continue to grow and become a possible destination location for the local community and surrounding areas.
