Summary Explanation and Background

 

SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:

 

1. Dennis Mele, agent for owners Pembroke Parcel 2 Owner LLC and Pembroke 145 Office LLC., request consideration to rezone the subject +- 25 acre property generally located north of Pembroke Road, between I-75 and Southwest 145 Avenue from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Mixed Use Development (MXD).  The proposed application creates the Edison Pembroke MXD design guidelines for future development within the subject parcel.  These guidelines provide development standards for this property and include a conceptual development plan for consideration.

 

2. The City Commission approved the original Pembroke Pointe PCD map rezoning and design guidelines on June 6, 2007 via Ordinance 1584.  The applicant and land owner at that time (Duke Realty) contemplated the development of four identical class A office buildings on +- 35 acres of property.  Only one of the contemplated Duke buildings were ever built.

 

3. In 2017, a +- 25 acre portion of the PCD was sold to the TPA group who applied for a modification to the Pembroke Pointe PCD guidelines to accommodate a new office design (AKA: Edison office) in lieu of the three buildings which were not built by Duke Realty.  The City Commission approved the PCD update (Ordinance 1893) and Edison office site plan on February 7, 2018.  To date, roughly half of the Edison office building / site has been completed.

 

4. The City Commission on March 2, 2021 approved the Edison Residential Land Use Plan Amendment (PH 2021-02 - Ordinance 1985) which revised the underlying land use for the southern 7.6 acres of the TPA group property from Office to Irregular Residential 46.1 for the purposes of developing up to 350 multi-family units.  A site plan application for the multi-family units (SP 2021-15) is currently being reviewed by City staff for future Board consideration.

 

5. Two related zoning change applications are being heard concurrently at this meeting:

                     ZC 2022-03 - A related zoning map change to the subject +-25 acre property from Planned Community Development (PCD) zoning to Mixed Use Development (MXD) to accommodate a mixture of residential and non-residential uses as permitted by underlying land use. (Ord. 2022-03)

                     ZC 2022-04 - A zoning change to the Pembroke Pointe Planned Commercial Development (PCD) which formally reduces the district from +-35 acres to +-10 acres with associated text change to accommodate the reduced district size. (Ord. 2022-05)

 

6. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from Planned Commercial District (PCD) to Mixed Use District (MXD) in order to facilitate the development of an office, hotel, bank, and residential mixed use development.   The current Planned Commercial District (PCD) does not permit the incorporation of the residential component as contemplated by the applicant.

 

7. The applicant proposes to phase the project as per the following schedule:

 

Phase 1

330,000 sq. ft. office - In progress (+- 177,000 square feet built)

12,000 sq. ft. ancillary office amenity space (constructed)

Up to 350 dwelling units - In DRC site plan review.

 

Phase 2

125 hotel rooms

30,000 sq. ft. office

5,000 sq. ft. bank, with drive thru

 

8. Development criteria has been generally based on the following city zoning districts:

                     Non-residential building(s) to generally be based on General Business (B-3) zoning standards.

10. The proposed Edison Pembroke MXD will function as a single, multi-building development with shared parking throughout the site.  As such, project bufferyards and building setbacks will be required at the perimeter of the +-25 acre site.  A conceptual plan has been provided to staff as part of the backup to this file which shows the layout of the proposed buildings and parking on site. All new buildings within this conceptual plan as well as the future master sign plan for this site are subject to City’s development review process.

The existing zoning and land use plan designations of the surrounding properties to the subject site are as follows:

 

North - PCD (Planned Commercial District) Pembroke Pointe / Office Park

 

East - Southwest 145 Avenue / Residential Multi-family (R-MF) / Low 5 Residential

 

South - B-2 (Community Business) / Commercial

 

West - I-75

 

11. Staff reviewed this zoning text change application and finds that the proposed MXD district as the only zoning designation within the Code of Ordinances which could support the proposed mixture of residential, hotel, bank and office uses of this acreage into a single district.  The conceptual plan includes uses which are consistent with the underlying office park land use designations as well as the recent City Commission approved irregular residential designation via Ordinance 1985.Further, the conceptual plan as proposed in the MXD design guidelines, conforms to the following policies of the comprehensive plan:

 

Future Land Use Element

Policy 1.5 - Continue to structure higher density near major arterials and open spaces.

Policy 1.7 - Continue to evaluate all land use amendment requests for compatibility with the surrounding development and land uses.

Policy 2.2 - Continue to identify areas to attract major employers, small business enterprises, and high tech/service based economic sectors. 

Policy 2.5 - Continue to encourage the location of commercial, industrial and employment centers near public transportation facilities to improve access to employment opportunities.

Policy 8.6 - Encourage new housing, including housing at higher densities toward areas within the City that may be designated in the future as Urban Corridors, Regional Intermodal Facilities and Regional Centers by FDOT and/or other applicable agencies.

Policy 14.2 - Large developments which generate high traffic volumes should be located as much as possible with direct access to mass transit facilities and services.

OBJECTIVE XXIII

Promote mixed use land development patterns which combine residential and nonresidential uses to achieve an attractive, well integrated, and pedestrian and transit friendly environment through the establishment of residential mixed land use categories within the city and county land use plans.  

Policy 23.1 - Provide for residential mixed land use designations which allow a combination of residential, commercial, employment based and other appropriate uses as described in the permitted uses section of the city’s Land Use Plan (Section III, (F), FLU Data & Analysis Requirements).

 

12. The proposed zoning change is reliant upon the concurrent approval and text rezoning applications ZC 2022-03 (Edison MXD Map Rezoning) (Ord 2022-03) and ZC 2022-04 (Pembroke Pointe design guidelines amendment) (Ord 2022-05).

 

13. The Planning and Zoning Board at its April 28, 2022 meeting voted to transmit this application to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation subject to concurrent approval of ZC 2021-03 (Edison MXD map rezoning) and ZC 2022-04 (Pembroke Pointe PCD design guidelines amendment) and recommend that the staff and the City Attorney’s Office take all necessary action to prepare an agenda item for consideration by the City Commission.

 

14. The City Commission passed proposed ordinance no. 2022-04 on first reading at the May 18, 2022 meeting. The applicant revised the guidelines based on comments from the Commission during first reading.   Changes include:

                     The residential parking ratio for the residential property has been raised from 1.9 parking spaces per unit to 2.0 parking spaces per unit.

                     The number of electrical vehicle charging stations was increased to 12 and they will be located on the residential and nonresidential portions of the development. New construction will include conduit for future charging stations so that they can be installed easily as demand increases.

                     Exercise stations were added along the walking trail which is located on the south and west side of the MXD. This trail connects to the one on the Pembroke Pointe PCD.

                     Maintenance of the exercise stations is specifically referenced in the maintenance section of the MXD.

                     Up to 5% of new parking areas may utilize compact space dimensions.

 

15.  Administration recommends adopting proposed ordinance no. 2022-04 on second and final reading.
