RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND
AND ANALYSIS
The proposed SD-27.2 Buena Vista West Special District is the second of the SD-27 sub -districts.
This sub -district is intended to provide for a high density mixed use neighborhood within that
portion of the EEC Corridor that lies along the FEC right-of-way within the western half of the
Buena Vista Yard property. The proposal includes code limitations that, among other things,
ensures liner uses be located along the majority of parking garage frontages, that uses along the
ground floor of future structures be designed to promote pedestrian friendly streets. The proposal,
like SD-27.1 also includes a very detailed set of design standards (being incorporated into the
ordinance by reference) to further ensure that all future development within this special district be
designed in a manner furthering the objectives of the FEC Corridor Plan. The Design Standards
are being separated for SD-27.1 and SD-27.2 as part of this amendment in recognition of the
slight differences intended for each side of the property; more specifically, the SD-27.2 portion
includes special requirements for the "big box" retail.
