DRC tells East Crown Point PCD applicants to revise plans, flags parking, stormwater and traffic requirements
Summary
The Winter Garden DRC required a full resubmittal of the East Crown Point Planned Commercial Development, citing an 80% PCD impervious cap, required SJRWMD permitting, a required Traffic Impact Analysis and a parking shortfall for Buildings 4 and 5. The motion to require revisions passed unanimously 5-0.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) of the City of Winter Garden on April 9 required applicants for the East Crown Point Complex PCD to revise and resubmit their Planned Commercial Development application for full DRC review. The parcels under review are listed at 530, 550, 570, 590, 610 and 630 East Crown Point Road; staff emphasized that maximum impervious surface for PCD zoning is 80%.
City engineering and planning staff outlined multiple design and procedural requirements. Staff said applicants must obtain St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) permitting for the project; that lot combinations and easement vacations could trigger platting under Section 110 of the City Code; and that thermoplastic storm pipe must meet City standards (Class I bedding, HP polypropylene pipe, installation per ASTM D2321) with HP Storm grey pipe cited as acceptable. Staff also told applicants a Traffic Impact Analysis will be required and an Agreement to participate in the Traffic Impact Analysis will be needed; a proportionate fair-share contribution for improvements at the intersection of East Crown Point Road and Crown Park Circle may be required.
Planning staff pressed the applicants to provide clearer plan sheets, an explicit phasing plan that ensures Phase One functions independently, consistent building numbering, accurate building elevations and architectural details, and to resolve commercial parking. Staff pointed out that Buildings 4 and 5 together require 75 parking spaces but the current Phase 2A layout shows only 38 spaces, which would leave the buildings under-parked if later phases are not built.
Representatives for the project—Greg Crawford of Florida Engineering Group, Inc. and Rob Mazur of Crown 429, LLC—acknowledged the comments and said they would address the items in a revision. City Engineer Jim Monahan moved to require a revise-and-resubmit for full DRC review; Building Official Skip Nemecek seconded. The motion carried unanimously 5-0.
The DRC also reminded applicants that a community meeting is required before Planning & Zoning submittal and that the traffic study must be coordinated with the City’s transportation consultant.
