BOOK PAGE Analysis The proposed amendments will make the Wabasso Corridor Plan requirements similar to, but not identical to, the SR 60 Corridor Plan requirements. The task force determined that some of the SR 60 plan requirements were not appropriate or necessary in the Wabasso corridor due to the differing characteristics of the two corridors. The following summarizes proposed changes by corridor plan element category. 1. Purpose and intent No changes are proposed in this section. 2. Boundaries of the Wabasso Corridor The proposed amendment would extend the corridor approximately one-half mile south along US 1 from 81" Street to 7/* Street (see attachment #3). The corridor covers all properties designated Commercial/Industrial. Therefore, staff notified all owners of C/I designated properties from 81 ' Street to the 77' Street/US 1 intersection of the task force workshops at which the proposed corridor expansion would be considered Affected property owners attended and participated in discussions. At the end of the discussions, no affected property owners raised objections to inclusion in the Wabasso Corridor Plan area. 3. Specific Development Regulations, The Wabasso Plan regulations will apply to new non-residential and mixed use (residential/commercial) developments. 4. Fxerrtptions for Industd 1 and dial Uses, The proposed amendments include the same industrial and special uses exemptions that are contained in the SR 60 plan. Under the amendments, industrial and storage buildings would be exempted from foundation planting and architectural requirements where buildings do not face public roads or residential areas. Also, electrical substations and similar restricted access uses would be exempted from architectural requirements if visually screened. 5. Sign Remilations. Most of the SR 60 plan special sign regulations would be included in the Wabasso plan. Some of the SR 60 provisions that will not be included in the Wabasso requirements are: prohibition of appliques and vinyl letters, changeable copy signs, and the 5 year amortization/upgrade of existing nonconforming signs. 6. Architectural/Building Standards. Most of the SR 60 plan architectural/building standards would apply in the Wabasso corridor, although the proposed amendments would allow log cabins and asphalt shingles in the Wabasso corridor. The proposed Wabasso regulations also do not include any special fascia requirements. 7. Colors and Building Graphics. The Wabasso corridor color and building graphics requirements will be exactly, the same as the SR 60 color and building graphics requirements. . I 8. Lightlin& The Wabasso corridor lighting requirements will be exactly the same as the SR 60 lighting requirements. 9. Landscapes The SR 60 plan street buffer requirements were based on the Wabasso Corridor Plan standards. The standards will remain identical, while some SR 60 plan wording will be added to the Wabasso plan. The existing Wabasso plan foundation planting requirements will be replaced by the SR 60 plan requirements which require more and taller plantings for taller buildings. April 19, 1999
