75' building setback to new development along SR 60. Although <br />there are significant differences between the Wabasso area and the <br />SR 60 area, staff as directed by the Board has applied general <br />Wabasso Corridor Plan criteria to SR 60 development projects. <br />Generally, this has involved applying the following design <br />"upgrades" to new commercial projects along SR 60 between 43rd <br />Avenue and 102nd Avenue: <br />1. Landscaping upgrade along SR 60 frontage. In keeping with the <br />increased landscaping required along the Indian River Mall DRI <br />project's,SR 60 frontage, Type "C" landscape strips are being <br />required along SR 60 and at major intersections (e.g. along <br />58th Avenue north and south of SR 60). Examples include the <br />Indian River Square (Target) shopping center, Cracker Barrel, <br />and Applebees projects. <br />2. Building foundation plantings. Plantings of shrubs, flowers, <br />or understory trees are being required along portions of the <br />foundations of new commercial buildings. Such plantings are <br />contained within landscape strips or planters. Examples <br />include Applebees, Cracker Barrel, Indian River Mall and <br />Indian River Square outparcel projects. Some foundation <br />plantings are also being provided along the main buildings of <br />the Indian River Mall, Indian River Commons, and Indian River <br />Square projects. <br />3. Monument -style free-standing signs. Except for sites at the <br />I-95/SR 60 interchange, limited height, monument -style signs <br />are being required. Examples include Applebees, as well as <br />Indian River Mall and Indian River Square outparcel projects. <br />(Note: On April 23, 1996, the Board will review a sign <br />.package for the Indian River Mall, as required in the mall <br />development order.) <br />4. Architectural features. Buildings proposed or constructed are <br />required to use roof slopes, canopies, or other features to <br />provide some building articulation. Examples include <br />Applebees and Cracker Barrel, as well as Indian River Mall and <br />Indian River Square outparcel projects. Some building <br />articulation features are also being provided with the main <br />buildings of the Indian River Mall, Indian River Commons, and <br />Indian River Square projects. <br />So far, staff has received cooperation from developers in complying <br />with these provisions. <br />In addition to the four design provisions referenced above, a <br />formal SR 60 Corridor Plan could address other issues covered in <br />the Wabasso Corridor.Plan such as landscape material "themes". In <br />addition, public/private opportunities unique to SR 60, such as <br />landscaping improvements to the I-95 interchange right-of-way and <br />within SR 60 medians, could be recognized and addressed. ' <br />•Corridor Plan Process <br />Development of a SR 60 Corridor Plan would involve.the same process <br />used to prepare the Wabasso Corridor Plan. That process included: <br />(1) Formation and Board -appointment of a task force. <br />(2) Public, task force meetings and development of a plan. <br />(3) Review and <br />Commission. <br />April 9, 1996 <br />recommendation by <br />55 <br />the Planning <br />800K <br />and Zoning <br />97 PAGE 7j2 <br />
