City Plan Principles and Policies
Purpose
• Develop an in -fill development for C - G, General Commercial uses in the Mason Street corridor /
TDO overlay district. Mixed -uses including retail, offices, medical, services, etc. as permitted per
zoning. The project is served by all public utilities; transportation and infrastructure systems.
Street tree landscaping and internal development/screening and native species design is
incorporated in the final design. Exceptional architectural materials, finishes, colors, scale and
contemporary building design, will be compatible and complementary to the existing, developed
Mason / Boardwalk corridors. The minimum TDO building heights have been maintained. There
are no off -site easements, extension of utility requirements nor other apparent limitations of
this development. There are no land use conflicts, environmental or otherwise, known issues.
Description of Existing and Proposed Areas
• The existing property is raw undeveloped land at the SEC of Mason & Boardwalk and bounded
by C — G, Commercial uses on all sides. The property is currently zoned C — G, Commercial.
• Lot 1 - is an existing 2- story Financial office building, drive-thru with a mix of other Office users.
• Lot 2 - is planned to be a Mixed -use building with 6,000 sf. of office/professional users on the
upper level and a complimentary mix of an additional 6,000 sf. of office, medical, retail, service,
restaurant, and/or other uses consistent, permitted by the C-G, Commercial zoning.
• Lot 3 — any mix of 5,500 sf. of office, medical, retail, service, restaurant and/or other uses
consistent, permitted by the C-G, Commercial zoning.
Employees - Uses
• Lot 1 - is an existing building with Financial offices, drive-thru and mix of other Office users.
(Existing, not known)
• Lot 2 - Based on the Building Code occupancy classification, @ 12,000 sf., office counts could be
a total of 120ppl. (1:100sf.) and could vary with other uses.
• Lot 3 — Based on the Building Code occupancy classification, @ 5,500 sf., office counts could be
a total of 55 ppl. (1:100sf.).
Assumptions and Choices
• The in -fill project will continue mixed -uses consistent with C— G, Commercial zoning and in
compliance with the TDO overlay district and goals. The project requests 2 new buildings on 2
vacant lots, (3 parcels) incorporating shared parking, access, utility & drainage easements. The
project will integrate landscaping with compatible architecture and scale, to provide a high -
quality development, while promoting continued development in the Mid -Town area.
