Parki P,j���'�•` City Manager 0,1, SUBJECT: PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: LINCOLN ROAD DEVELOPMENT GUIDE THE REQUEST The Planning Department requests the City Commission approve the Lincoln Road Development Guide. The purpose of the guide, which is presented in the form of a two side poster, is to proviae a marketing tool that concisely describes the City's development policies for Lincoln Road. The Development Guide is a summary of the Lincoln Road Revitalization Plan and includes recent initiatives such as the new zoning, Arts District, and connections to the expanded Convention Center. BACKGROUND November 13, 1986 - The Lincoln Road Advisory Board recommended (7-0) that the Development Guide be approved. This recommendation included a number of suggestions that were inserted into the Guide. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION On November 25, 1986, the Planning 1oard held a public hearing for purposes of reviewing the Development Guide. Following the hearing, and in consideration of the Planning Department's affirmative recommendation, the Planning Board unanimously recommended (6-0) that the City Commission approve the Guide as the City's development policy for Lincoln Road. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION 1. The Lincoln Road Revitalization Plan was prepared by the Planning Department and adopted by the City Commission in 1981. This Plan recommends physical improvements to the public right of way on Lincoln Road and administrative actions directed towards improving the business climate (zoning and mall management concept). Since the adoption of the Revitalization Plan, a number of developments have occured which were not anticipated when the Plan was approved in 1981. These include the growth of the Arts District and its impact on related land uses, the need for design guidelines for facade renovations and improved pedestrian access to the Convention Center. The Development Guide embraces these elements within the overall Revitalization Plan and reinforces Lincoln Road and the Convention Center as the City's Central Business District. Lastly, it is envisioned that the two sided poster will function as a marketing tool that can be used in attracting new investors and development opportunities to Lincoln Road. x 1 AGENDA R-1— _1— ,/� ITEM (� 1�1 DATE ,-, I — 2I ` 6 7 COMMISSION MEMORANDUM LINCOLN ROAD DEVELOPMENT GUIDE DECEMBER 17, 1986 2.

The guidelines also include a brief summary of proposed zoning amendments for Lincoln Road including special Arts District regulations, new parking regulations, and new uses for the interior portion of the Mall that reinforces the Arts District and the pedestrian experience. 3. The Design Guidelines address the type of physical improvements to be encouraged on Lincoln Road for both private sector storefronts and public open space. Major elements include facade improvements, signage, lighting and window displays. The guidelines are based on the presence of quality commercial architecture on Lincoln Road which, with sensitive treatment, can again create an attractive retail environment. The guidelines include two (2) case studies (700 Block and 830 Lincoln Road) showing what Lincoln Road buildings would look like using the recommended design guidelines. 4. The Format for the Development Guidelines is a poster which provides a concise explanation of the guidelines graphics which effectively illustrate the recommendations.
