DIVISION 4

DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT

Sec. 12-282. - Title.

This division shall be known and may be cited as the "Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan Overlay Zoning District."

(Code 2001, § 29.900)

Sec. 12-283. - Definitions of terms.

Unless specifically defined below or as defined in article II of this LDC, words or phrases used in this division shall have the meaning of common usage which gives this division its most reasonable application:

Architectural high style is a more refined and formal architectural design style based on its historical origins that is predicated upon formal and specific rules within a particular style and is characterized by a higher level of composition and design details. Illustrations of the design elements of the Temple Terrace Mediterranean Revival high styles are contained in Exhibits III-A—III-B following this division.

Architectural vernacular style is a style that developed "naturally" in response to local climate, social, and economic factors over time. This architecture creates a more informal character and may be symmetrical or, more typically, asymmetrical in its composition, but exhibits less refined details than the High Style. Illustrations of the design elements of the Temple Terrace Mediterranean Revival vernacular style are contained in Exhibits III-A—III-B following this division.

Blank building wall means any building wall where transparent glazing is equal to twenty-five (25) percent or less of the wall area.

Build-to-line means a line parallel to the property line, along which a building or structure shall be built as specified by the classification of the adjacent street.

Building frontage means and is comprised of the front and street side yard setback areas and the building facade. The building frontage includes the dimensional depth of the building front yard setback, the portion of the building facade along the front yard and the architectural elements that make up the facade such as architectural style details, colonnades, shop fronts, stoops and entrances or balconies.

Compatibility is measured by how the design of a building or project relates to the design elements of the surrounding natural/physical and manmade environments. Compatibility measures include, but are not limited to, building scale, mass and form; building relationship to the street; transitions in building height and; the use of building materials and harmonious reoccurrence of significant facade design features such as window patterns/rhythms, cornice lines and roof lines.

Design elements means the features of a building which includes architectural style, roof and facade details (cornices, arches, building materials), the rhythm (pattern and spacing) and proportion of windows, porches, doors, and vertical and horizontal features (columns, lintels).

Fenestration means the arrangement of windows, doors and other exterior openings on a building.

Focal design elements means design features such as towers, cupolas, dormers, parapets or other unique roof features that create a visual emphasis particularly at street corners to the vertical elements of a building.

Mediterranean Revival Style is defined and illustrated in Exhibits III-B.1 and III-B.2 following this division

Retail means any building that is used or designed and constructed for the display and sale of products purchased on a frequent basis. Products sold may include, but not be limited to, household goods, groceries, furniture, appliances, sale of food and/or beverages (consumption on-site and/or take-out), home entertainment equipment, specialty retail, retail banking, art, jewelry, florists, apparel and footwear, books and stationary, appliances, and camera and art supplies.

Spanish Renaissance Revival Style is defined and illustrated in Exhibits III-A.1 and III-A.2 following this division.

Substantial expansion of existing development as used in this LDC shall be defined as any expansion or redevelopment of an existing site and structure that exceeds fifty (50) percent of its current valuation (land and improvements) as identified by the county property appraiser at the time a development application is submitted to the city. Further, substantial expansion shall also mean any cumulative expansion or redevelopment of an existing site and structure that exceeds fifty (50) percent of its current valuation over a consecutive two-year period.

Unified development is defined as a group of buildings that are either under single ownership or are reviewed by site plan or PUD as a single project.

(Code 2001, § 29.930; Ord. No. 1340, § 1, 4-16-2013)

Sec. 12-284. - Purpose and intent.

The purpose of this division is to:

(1)

Implement the Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan (Adopted May 15, 2001), and the Downtown Temple Terrace Revitalization Master Plan (January 31, 2005), which establish the basis for the city's vision of the downtown.

(2)

Implement the Downtown Mixed Use District (DMU-35) comprehensive plan future land use category and mobility fee exemption area.

(3)

Recognize the dependency of commercial buildings and development on having high visibility from the public street. Therefore, the design of building(s) and sites determines much of the image and attractiveness of the streetscapes and character of a community. Massive and/or generic developments that do not contribute to, or integrate with, the community in a positive manner can be detrimental to a community's image, and sense of place. The goal is to create and maintain a positive ambiance, pedestrian-oriented scale of development, and strong community image and identity by providing for architectural and site design standards that will enhance the visual appearance of commercial development within the Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan Area, as well as the city as a whole, while still providing for design flexibility. These standards are intended to enhance the quality of life in the city.

(4)

Establish design guidelines and development standards for the Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan Area that:

a.

Ensure that the design and development of the public realm and private property are coordinated and tailored to provide high quality development.

b.

Ensure that buildings that face the public realm have architectural designs with detailed facade features to create a pedestrian-scale streetscape and orient parking and service functions to the rear of buildings and interior of blocks.

c.

Create a mixture of uses to include shops, workplaces, residences and civic buildings.

d.

Ensure a design and scale transition of uses and building scale from the downtown core to the adjacent established residential neighborhoods.

(5)

Establish a process for the review of all development within the Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan Area to evaluate compliance with the provisions of this LDC.

(Code 2001, § 29.905; Ord. No. 1399, § 1(Exh. A), 7-19-2016)

(Code 2001, § 29.925)

Sec. 12-289. - Block perimeter standards.

(a)

There is a relationship between block size and pedestrian friendly design and orientation. The smaller the block size, the greater its pedestrian orientation in terms of short walking distances and building facade designs that are pedestrian in scale. A block perimeter is defined as a land area bounded by three (3) or more streets, but does not include alleys.

(b)

Block perimeter standards for new unified development that encompasses a block area ensure that new developments will be connected to adjacent development along streets, and where appropriate along alleyways to enhance service and parking functions. Block perimeter standards are a function of the degree of pedestrian orientation desired for a particular street frontage. The block plan as shown in Exhibit II following this division illustrates the intent of the block perimeter standards. However, individual parcel developments may require modifications to this plan to fit specific development block size requirements. The streets within the Downtown Community Redevelopment Area are classified in a pedestrian oriented hierarchy of most to least importance. The classifications are Retail Pedestrian, Primary and Secondary Streets (Exhibit V following this division). The following block perimeter standards apply to these street classifications:

(1)

Retail pedestrian street. The maximum block perimeter shall be one thousand six hundred (1,600) linear feet or two thousand two hundred fifty (2,250) linear feet if all parking is structured and located internal to the block.

(2)

Primary and secondary streets. The maximum block perimeter shall be one thousand five hundred (1,500) linear feet or one thousand eight hundred (1,800) linear feet if all parking is structured and located internal to the block.

(c)

Where new development creates new street networks, such new streets shall be aligned with the adjacent existing street network. At least two (2) of the new streets shall be classified as the highest street classification of the adjacent streets.

(Code 2001, § 29.925.1)

Sec. 12-290. - Architectural styles guidelines.

(a)

New development and/or substantial expansion of existing development shall incorporate, at minimum, architectural design elements consistent with one of the following architectural styles: Spanish Renaissance Revival or Mediterranean Revival as defined and illustrated in Exhibits III-A.1—III-B.1 following this division. Development shall include all of the following major design elements as illustrated in Exhibits III-A.1—III-B.1:

(1)

Massing.

(2)

Building facade materials and color.

(3)

Roof form, details and materials.

(4)

Window treatments.

(5)

Building entrance features/details.

(b)

A development project with multiple buildings shall have a consistent architectural style and use of materials throughout the project.

(c)

New development and/or substantial expansion of existing development shall include facade elements that provide shade along the street frontage such as awnings, canopies, arcades or colonnades and provide an additional design element related to the above-referenced architectural styles, such as iron gates, tile fountains, cast terra cotta, wood work, stenciled ornaments, balconies or similar design features as part of a building facade, building frontage and/or zoning lot front yard.

(d)

The architectural style of additions that do not meet the definition of substantial expansion to an existing building shall be compatible with the existing building in design elements including, but not limited to, style, form, height, materials, color, and details (Exhibit IV following this division). An addition shall be located in a manner that maintains the integrity or prominence of the principal building. Where feasible, efforts shall be made to incorporate design concepts and elements consistent with the Spanish Renaissance Revival, Mediterranean Revival, or St. Augustine Spanish Colonial architectural styles on the principal building and addition.

(Code 2001, § 29.925.2; Ord. No. 1340, § 1, 4-16-2013)

Sec. 12-291. - Building frontage and build-to-line standard.

(b)

The design standards described below and illustrated in Exhibits VI, VII and VIII following this division shall apply to all development along retail pedestrian streets:

(1)

Building masses and facades along the street shall be articulated with windows, store fronts and entryways oriented to the sidewalk and the street. Variations in exterior building wall plane in depth or articulation (such as use of columns) is encouraged to avoid a monolithic appearance.

(2)

Buildings that are part of a unified development shall line along the street to create a continuous building frontage along each street. At least ninety (90) percent of the total street frontage shall have a continuous building frontage.

(3)

A building that is on a single parcel and not defined a part of a unified development is encouraged to create a continuous building frontage with the adjacent parcels by having zero (0) side yard setbacks (Exhibit VIII following this division). However, such building may have side yard setbacks of not greater than five (5) feet from the property line, except as provided for in section 12-294.

(4)

The distinction between ground floor level and upper floor levels shall be clearly articulated.

(5)

The ground level facade shall have architectural fenestration that creates a pedestrian-scale streetscape. The minimum ground floor ceiling height shall be eighteen (18) feet. The minimum building frontage height shall be two (2) stories or thirty (30) feet.

The pavement finish (for example, patterns, materials, texture, color) in the setback area between the building and the property line shall be consistent with and/or match the existing and/or planned pavement treatment of the adjacent public space and/or sidewalk.

(11)

New development shall maintain a compatible relationship with the surrounding development relative to architectural styles, facade design elements, build-to-lines, building mass, scale and height.

(c)

The design standards described below and illustrated in Exhibits VI, VII, VIII and IX following this division shall apply to all primary and secondary streets:

(1)

Building masses and edges along the street shall be articulated with windows, store or office fronts, green yards/porches (residential) and entryways oriented to the sidewalk and the street. Variations in exterior building wall plane in depth or articulation (such as use of columns) is encouraged.

(2)

(4)

The distinction between ground floor level and upper floor levels shall be clearly articulated.

(5)

Blank building walls are prohibited on the street frontage and where side or rear walls of buildings are visible from the street. Where side and rear walls are not visible from the street blank walls are discouraged

(6)

Buildings shall meet the build-to-line, which supersedes any zoning district front or street side yard setback requirement. The build-to-line shall be ten (10) feet from the property line. Religious and educational institutions existing within the Temple Terrace Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan Area at the time of the adoption of the ordinance from which this article is derived are exempt from this standard.

(7)

Buildings shall be designed for retail, office, residential, recreational or cultural uses at the ground floor. The ground level facade shall have architectural fenestration that creates a pedestrian-scale streetscape. Where the ground level has retail and/or office uses, the facade shall have a minimum fifty (50) percent of its total area in transparent glazing up to a height of fourteen (14) feet. The minimum ground floor ceiling height shall be fourteen (14) feet. The minimum building frontage height shall be two (2) stories or twenty-five (25) feet. The maximum percentage of glazed area that may be blocked by interior fixtures or signage along any street front is thirty (30) percent.

(8)

Residential projects with multiple or row type buildings shall provide separations and/or changes in building plane (facade and roof) to avoid the long barracks like quality imparted by flat long continuous walls and roofs (Exhibit IX following this division).

(9)

Commercial development shall provide pavement finish (for example, patterns, materials, texture, color) in the setback area between the building and the property line consistent with and/or match the existing and/or planned pavement treatment of the adjacent public space and/or sidewalk.

(10)

New development shall maintain a compatible relationship with the surrounding development relative to architectural styles, facade design elements, build-to-lines, building mass, scale and height.

(Code 2001, § 29.925.3)

Sec. 12-292. - Building height standards.

(a)

No buildings shall exceed six (6) stories or eighty (80) feet in height, whichever is more restrictive.

(b)

Buildings that are five (5) or six (6) stories in height shall be only permitted within one hundred (100) feet from where Retail Pedestrian Streets intersect or where a Retail Pedestrian Street and Primary Street intersect (Exhibit V following this division). Waivers may be granted to this provision for unified developments.

(c)

Where adjacent buildings are of different heights, design techniques that architecturally align facade elements and details through the use of such alignment features as balconies, windows, store fronts, or horizontal string courses shall be employed. The purpose of establishing architectural alignment between adjacent buildings is to establish a compatible and harmonious design relationship with adjacent and nearby buildings, and further, to establish and/or maintain a pedestrian-scale streetscape, as illustrated in Exhibit X following this division.

(d)

The maximum height of buildings adjacent to a single-family residential district shall be limited to two (2) stories or thirty-five (35) feet in height, whichever is more restrictive.

(2)

Any required fencing or walls shall be decorative and compatible with the architectural style of the principal building and match the principal building in materials and color. Decorative masonry wall finishes and/or wrought iron are appropriate design materials for Spanish Renaissance Revival and Mediterranean Revival architectural style buildings. Wood, wood stockade and chain link fences are not appropriate fencing materials, and therefore, are not permitted.

(3)

Fence or wall planes shall provide for visual variations in the fence/wall plane. Therefore, wall/fence planes shall not extend more than fifty (50) feet without a significant variation in the fence/wall plane through the use of columns or patterned breaks in the fence/wall plane, and use of landscaping.

(4)

Dumpsters shall be enclosed with an opaque wall or opaque fencing that matches the materials and colors of the principal structure.

(5)

Site features such as stormwater ponds shall be located to the rear of the site where possible. Stormwater ponds are not permitted in the front yard, build-to-line area or along any street front. Ponds may be located in the side yard provided the perimeter of the pond has a minimum five-foot-wide landscaped buffer (trees and continuous hedge). Any required fencing or wall shall be a maximum of four (4) feet in height, located behind the landscaping and shall meet the fence/wall design requirements of this article.
