    (153)

    Big box development may be permitted subject to the following conditions:

    a.

    Prior to filing an application for a special exception for a big box development in the C-1 zoned district, the applicant shall submit a site plan to the DRC for review, and the DRC shall approve the site plan, with or without recommendations. Thereafter, before a public hearing is held at the board of zoning adjustment regarding the special exception request, a community meeting shall be held with public notice issued to the owners of record of properties located within a two thousand-foot radius of the proposed development site. In establishing the limits of public notification, all addresses within an entire neighborhood, any part of which falls within the two thousand-foot notification radius, shall be noticed. In addition, the applicant shall be responsible for prominently and conspicuously posting notice of the community meeting directly on the property.

    b.

    Big box developments shall have a maximum .23 FAR. Any proposed development which does not adhere to these criteria must submit justification in the form of a plan which is not in conflict with the purpose and intent of this subsection, and which is acceptable to Orange County.

    c.

    Proposed big box development applicants shall conduct a detailed traffic study addressing:

    1.

    Traffic impacts of the project;

    2.

    All traffic concurrency requirements of the county; and

    3.

    Specific recommendations for safe and adequate ingress and egress to and from the site.

    Applicants shall meet with Orange County staff prior to commencing the study, and shall implement the agreed-upon methodology in conducting their study. Orange County staff shall use best efforts to obtain data from municipalities and other local governments located in close proximity to the project. The owner of a development shall conduct a follow-up review and update of the aforementioned items [listed in] subparagraphs c.1, c.2, and c.3 no later than five (5) years after the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the development. The results of such review and update shall be submitted to Orange County for use in evaluating traffic impacts of similar future big box developments.

    d.

    In order to ensure pedestrian safety and adequate traffic circulation, a big box development proposing to locate within one thousand (1,000) feet from the nearest property line of any public school shall submit a traffic and pedestrian safety plan for Orange County's review and approval, unless a physical barrier, such as a waterbody, wetland, or limited access highway, separates the public school from the big box development, thereby preventing pedestrian access to the big box development from the public school. Such plan shall identify pedestrian safety conflicts and deficiencies, especially those related to walking routes to schools, and other pedestrian generators, such as parks or trails used by children and by children with disabilities. Specific measures shall be identified in the pedestrian safety plan to mitigate each conflict, and the big box applicant shall be solely responsible for implementing the identified measures no later than at the time of issuance by Orange County of a certificate of occupancy.

    e.

    Big box developments shall designate at least two (2) vehicle parking spaces for local law enforcement adjacent to the principal structure.

    f.

    Overnight/long-term (more than eight (8) consecutive hours) parking, RV parking, temporary/portable storage containers, and tractor-trailer/semi-truck parking, other than active customer and/or employee parking, are prohibited in big box development parking lots. Signs must be conspicuously displayed which state: "No overnight or long-term parking allowed. Violators subject to fines, towing, or both."

    g.

    The off-street parking serving the project shall be subdivided into multiple "sub-lots" with uninterrupted (except at crosswalks) landscaped pedestrian sidewalk pathways. Said pedestrian pathways shall connect the sidewalks along the big box structure's foundation, to the perimeter rights-of-way sidewalks, transit stops, and all outparcel sidewalks. Continuance of the pedestrian sidewalk portion of the pathway across parking lot drive aisles (e.g. crosswalks) shall be highlighted and made visually prominent. As such, the drive aisle crosswalks for pedestrian pathways shall be constructed with an alternative paving material other than asphalt (e.g. stained and stamped concrete, or pavers).

    Such parking lot pedestrian pathways shall only be required between those head-to-head parking stalls which feature a ninety-degree configuration (not angled). Such pathways shall be installed, at a minimum, between the head-to-head stalls of each fourth row of parking (e.g., may be separated by up to two (2) rows of parking stalls) lacking a pedestrian pathway. Furthermore, the pattern of parking lot pathways shall be arranged so that at least one (1) pathway aligns with, and provides a direct connection from, the project's rights-of-way perimeter sidewalk and the main pedestrian entrance of the big box structure.

    The pedestrian pathways shall incorporate a minimum six-foot wide sidewalk. A landscape planter strip, minimum seven (7) feet wide, shall be installed on at least one (1) side of the sidewalk along its full length (except at drive aisle crosswalks). One-third ( 1/3 ) of the pathway landscape planter strip shall be planted with shrubs, and one-third ( 1/3 ) with groundcover plantings.

    Intermittent overhead pedestrian shade shall be provided along the length of the pedestrian pathway by planting approved canopy trees at a maximum of thirty (30) feet on-center along the full length of the pathway. Such canopy trees shall not substitute for canopy trees otherwise required within parking lot planter islands. Alternatively, shade structures (pergolas or gazebos) with seating, may substitute for segments of the required pathway canopy tree plantings.

    h.

    The owner/developer shall be responsible for determining, and indicating on the plans, any existing or planned LYNX public transit routes along the adjacent rights-of-way. If an adjacent transit route is currently in place, or in the planning stages, the owner/developer shall be responsible for dedicating an area, and constructing a LYNX bus shelter along the project's perimeter, adjacent to the public rights-of-way. Such bus shelter shall measure a minimum of ten (10) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long, and shall be designed and installed according to all approvals and specifications required by LYNX.

    i.

    In order to maximize efficient traffic circulation and minimize "stacking" at the main vehicular entrance, big box developments shall allow a minimum of two hundred (200) feet off the roadway before the first turn within the parking lot; except that a minimum of one hundred (100) feet is allowed if there is a right-hand deceleration lane. A minimum of one hundred (100) feet shall be required for all secondary entrances.

    j.

    At any big box development that is open for business between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., or any portion of such period of time, parking lot security shall be provided, with a minimum of one (1) guard on duty, at all times that the establishment is open for business; except, however, that a home improvement center or wholesale membership club open for business for any period of time between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. shall be required to provide security only during that period of time.

    k.

    In addition to the perimeter wall requirements of section 24-4(k)(2), no pavement or portion of any vertical structure associated with the rear or sides of a big box development shall be located closer than two hundred (200) feet from the nearest property line of any adjacent single-family residentially-zoned property. For purposes of this subsection, the term "adjacent" shall mean abutting or immediately next to the property line, even where a street or road separates the big box development from the single-family residentially-zoned property. Such distance buffer shall be measured outward from the most remote edge (from the principal structure) of the aforementioned paved surface or vertical structure associated with a big box development.

    The two hundred-foot distance buffer shall be composed of two (2) distinct landscape separation buffer tiers shielding any adjacent single-family residentially-zoned properties from any paving or structures associated with a big box development:

    The first one hundred fifty (150) feet of the landscape separation buffer, located nearest to the big box development, may incorporate stormwater retention ponds associated with the big box development. Any areas within this one hundred fifty-foot buffer tier which are not dedicated to actual stormwater retention shall also incorporate approved shade tree species planted at a rate of no less than one (1) tree per two thousand (2,000) square feet, and with spacing at no greater than forty-five (45) feet on-center.

    The remaining fifty (50) feet of the two hundred-foot buffer shall only include a continuous uninterrupted opaque landscape buffer using approved shade tree species planted at forty (40) feet on-center. This standard shall not supplant any other required perimeter tree planting requirements stated elsewhere in chapter 24. No stormwater retention or other uses may occur within this fifty-foot buffer tier.

    The retention facilities, trees, and any other landscape materials within the two hundred-foot landscaping/drainage separation buffer zone shall be serviced and maintained by the big box development owner in accordance with Orange County standards. Such two hundred-foot buffer area, provided all stormwater drainage facilities within its limits are designed in accordance with the open space full-credit standards described herein (e.g. decorative fencing and landscaping), may account for no more than fifty (50) percent of the project's total open space requirements. The remaining required open space shall be provided elsewhere within the project's limits.

    l.

    In order to avoid the perceived economic impacts of prolonged vacant projects and buildings, and to mitigate the visual blight created by vacant big box structures (e.g., abandoned and chain link-fenced parking lots, poorly-maintained landscaping, darkened stores, unlit "ghost" signage, boarded windows, etc.), a written strategy for maintenance and reuse of vacant properties shall be submitted to the county at the time of commercial site plan review. The written reuse strategy shall, at a minimum, address the following issues:

    1.

    Removal or adaptive reuse of the structure;

    2.

    Parking lot, perimeter, and stormwater area landscaping;

    3.

    Securing of the property;

    4.

    Partial lighting of vacant parking lots;

    5.

    Partial lighting of vacant store interiors;

    6.

    Sign removal and subsequent painting of the vacant wall surface; and

    7.

    Display of a professionally-designed sign, not to exceed thirty-two (32) square feet, placed at the project entrance, offering lease and/or sale and contact information.

    m.

    Outdoor storage, nonseasonal outdoor sales, and temporary sales of motorized vehicles, boats, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and the like shall be prohibited.

    n.

    For facade treatment requirements, refer to section 9-558(d).

    o.

    For shopping cart retention requirements, refer to section 9-563.

    q.

    For general design and development standards and requirements, refer to section 24-4(k).

    r.

    For open space requirements and design guidelines, refer to sections 24-29(c) and 24-30(g)(5), respectively.

    s.

    For ground signage requirements, refer to section 31.5-67(k).

    t.

    For pole signage requirements, refer to section 31.5-68(k).

    u.

    For off-street parking requirements, refer to section 38-1476.

    v.

    At least one (1) side or the front of a big box development shall abut a four-lane or greater capacity roadway, and at least one (1) access point for vehicular ingress and egress to and from the big box development shall be located on the abutting four-lane or greater capacity roadway.

    w.

    Big box developments are encouraged to maximize energy and water efficiency; protect air and water quality; and reduce solid waste, utilizing best energy management practices as outlined by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), or ENERGY STAR (joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy).

    x.

    The following provisions shall apply to the Horizon West Town Center only. Where the provisions of division 8.5 conflict with any other Code provisions, the provisions of division 8.5 shall apply:

    Big box retail buildings shall be permitted within the Retail/Wholesale (RW) and Traditional Town Center (TTC) Districts of the Town Center. Prior to filing a Preliminary Subdivision Plan (PSP) or Development Plan (DP) application, applicants shall meet with Orange County staff to review ingress and egress, building elevations, and any other requirements (as applicable). The requirement for a detailed traffic study addressing impacts within the Horizon West Town Center RW and TTC districts for big box developments may be waived by the Transportation Planning Division if such impacts are or were sufficiently addressed by a PD/UNP traffic study.

    Big box sites shall be designed to allow for the evolution of a mixed use urban form within a hierarchy of connected blocks, streets, and pedestrian facilities through building orientation, parking area configuration, and access ways and shall have a maximum 2.00 FAR. When located on a primary framework "main" street frontage, the main entrance and storefronts of a big box building shall have direct access and visibility from the primary frontage. When located at a terminus of the primary "framework street" (at a T intersection) the main entrance of the building shall be oriented to the primary framework street. On all other roadways or streets, the primary pedestrian entrance may face surface parking areas. The rear walls of a big box building or service area may abut the road right of way, but shall be designed to mitigate the building mass. All off-street surface parking "sub-lots" shall be defined by pedestrian pathways or greenways that are separated by no more than six (6) rows of one-way angled parking, or no more than four (4) rows of 90-degree two-way drive lane parking configurations. Pedestrian pathways or greenways shall consist of uninterrupted (except at crosswalks) landscaped pedestrian sidewalks and shall connect the sidewalks along the big box structure's foundation to the perimeter rights-of-way sidewalks, transit stops, and all outparcel sidewalks. The planning and/or zoning manager may permit alternatives that are deemed consistent with the intent of this section.

    In addition to the requirements of section 38-1390.53 (a) and (b) and section 24-4(k)(2—4), the rear or sides of a Town Center big box building shall be located no closer than one hundred (100) feet from the nearest property line of any single-family detached residential lot. Where there is no street and streetscape separating a big box building and a single-family property line, the minimum 100-foot distance buffer shall include a continuous, uninterrupted, opaque landscape buffer within the fifty (50) feet closest to the single-family property, with approved shade tree species planted at forty (40) feet on-center. In addition, stormwater management or other uses may occur only within the fifty-foot buffer area closest to the big box building. Berms as outlined in section 24-4(k)(1) shall not be required.

    Town Center big box buildings are encouraged to maximize energy and water efficiency, protect air and water quality, and reduce solid waste. Furthermore, big box sites shall be designed to reduce the adverse impacts of large stormwater management areas by incorporating an evolving urban form and by utilizing sustainability best management practices. These practices may include Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), or ENERGY STAR building techniques (a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy).
