GMP200a-00020* Request for Growth Management Plan amendment to amend Future Land Use
Element Subarea Policy S.15.12. The Public Hearing for this item was advertised in
the local newspaper and courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within a

subject to the conditions contained in the staff report.
Colandra Jones, Project Planner, gave an overview of project usingoverhead visuals, highlighting the foHowing:

Scott Martin, representing the applicant, noted that they are currently working with staff regarding the design of the
proposed project. In the future, they will be looking to interconnect with adjacent properties. Mr. Martin also noted that
the GMP amendment needs to be fairly general to accommodate different development options. However, at this time,
the developer is proposing 450 multi-family dwelling units.
Marueen Damiani noted that her main concern was leaving only one access to Maguire through Woodcock Rd.
Adam Walosik, Transportation Planning, noted that Warehouse Rd. is going to be extended to the north, which will allow
for a future connection to the east.

7. RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, OUC CHILLER PLANT GMP AMENDMENT
Owner/Applicant City of Orlando, 400 S. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801:
Location: 531 W. Anderson Street (±0.77 acres)
District: 5
Project Planner: Colandra Jones (Contact at 407-246-3415 or Colandra.Jones@cityoforlando.net)
GMP2008-00022* GMP amendment to change the future land use designation from Residential
Medium Intensity to Public/Recreational/Institutional. The Public Hearing for this
item was advertised in the local newspaper and courtesy notices were mailed to
property owners within a 300 ft. radius of the subject property. This item was
recommended for approval, subject to the conditions contained in the staff report.
Maureen Damiani, asked for further clarification regarding the location of the properties around the subject site and
the effects of the potential noise on residential areas,
Colandra Jones, Project Planner, noted that adjacent uses include a multi-family development to the west, vacant
property to the east, single-family homes to the north, and the 408 expressway to the south.
Laurie Botts-Wright, Real Estate Manager for the City of Orlando, stated that this site is already a noisy site due to close
proximity to the 408 expressway ramp. The site is larger than OUC needs today, but it will allow room to accommodate
a landscape buffer wall to reduce the noise. Many alternative sites were considered, but the subject site was the only
site that could readily serve the Events Center.
Anthony Johnson, 420 S. Terry Avenue, spoke against the request, noting the following:
• Concerns with how the Chiller Plant will fit in the community
• Streets around area have no sidewalks
• Questions whether a developer would want to come in and build on the adjacent vacant lots after the Chiller Plant
is constructed
• Drug problems on vacant property
• Need for beautification
Laurie Botts-Wright noted the following:
• The City is the predominate land owner in the area
• Site was selected because it would have the least impact on adjacent residential areas.
• Chiller Plant will serve future development in the area, including the Events Center, Expo Center, future Creative
Village and the Black Business Investment Fund.
Mr. Johnson asked what the long term plan was for the other 11 acres that the City owns and noted that the area
needs better lighting and sidewalks.

Page 10 of 12 August 19, 2008 Municipal Planning Board Minutes
b) Maximum density of 39 du/ac (includes a Density Bonus of 9 dwelling units per acre)
c) Mechanical parking system - The owner/developer shall provide sufficient documentation to the City Planning
Division prior to permitting that shows that the design of the structure incorporates modifications and insulation so
that the noise will not exceed the maximum permitted DB levels.
d) Continual maintenance of the mechanical parking structure
Scott Martin, the applicant, highlighted the following four main issues: height, density, traffic, and noise, using overhead
visuals:
• Development is currently allowed on the property under the approved PD
• The new design will wrap Muriel and Harding Streets, and integrate the design into the scale of the
neighborhood and the existing town homes. This design will activate the side streets while reducing the scale
along Orange Avenue.
• South Downtown Vision Plan encourages mixed-use development and housing.
• Other properties in the area include a used car lot business and a surface parking lot across Orange Avenue.
• Proposed front yard setback will meet the City's vision and streetscape requirements for Orange Avenue.
• The reduction in office will allow 11 additional dwelling units in approximately the same volume of space.
• Access from Harding St. and Muriel St. is a cross-access drive. The surface lot will be used for retail only and
the stackable parking for residential only. Residential will consist of one bedroom and efficiencies only.
• Ground level retail will be provided along Orange Avenue, with a couple of dwelling units, on each side of
Harding St. and Muriel St. to create architecture and reduce the scale of the building. The upper floor of the
residential units are small efficiency and loft units at approximately 800 sq. ft.
• Photos of site showing all elevations
• Enclosing the mechanical parking structure is a possibility
• Providing trellis and landscaping on rear of the retail building space
• Explanation of how the mechanical parking system works
Lisa Schott, Acoustical Consultant with QUietly Making Noise, noted that she was retained by the applicant to ensure
that the project meets all noise ordinance requirements. She stated that the anticipated noise levels are not excessive
and should be treatable through engineering and design. Levels of about 70 are comparable to the traffic on Orange
Ave. The project may include enclosures around the elevator motors.
The following people spoke in opposition of the project:
Randy Tuten, 734 Jersey St., Wadeview Park Neighborhood Association
• 50 people voted unanimously to oppose project
Bob Fields, 609 Chickapee Trail, representing condominium owners that currently live at the development site
• Concerns with parking - people coming and going at same time
• Concerns of compatibility, original design was a Brownstone Design - now it is more of a Contemporary Design
Barbara Betz, 114 E. Harding St, Townhome Owner, at subject property
• Not enough parking in area
• Pulse nightclub disrupts neighborhood
Ralf Saykiewicz, 116 East Harding St. Orlando, FL 32806
• Objects to the noise of the mechanical parking system
• Mechanical parking will break down
The following people spoke in favor of the project:
Blaine Stein, 1714 Gurtler Court, Orlando, FL 32804
Mark Kinchla, 728 Hardman Dr, Orlando, FL 32806
Joy Ewertz, Kilgore, Properties, LLC., 390 N. Orange Ave., Suite 2300, Orlando, FL 32801
Scott Martin noted that the applicant would have a service contract with local people nearby in the event of a parking
system breakdown. The parking system is not like a typical elevator; if there is a problem, it would probably only affect
of portion of the stacked vehicles.

Page 11 of 12 August 19, 2008 Municipal Planning Board Minutes
After a discussion. Gregory Lee MOVED approval of ZON2008-00023. subject to the conditions contained in the staff
report and addendum. adding an additional condition as follows: The propertY owner shall enter into a service contract
