PR O J E C T AN A LY S I S Project Description

The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from AC-1 (Community Activity Center) to PD (Planned Development) to convert a former fitness center into a ±81,112 sq. ft. 2 & 3 story 65-lane indoor shooting range with ancillary retail sales, class-rooms, snack bar/lounge and museum. The site is also going through a concurrent GMP Future Land Use Map Amendment (GMP2014-00008) to change the future land use designation from Community Activity Center to Industrial. Indoor shooting ranges are only allowed in the I-G and I-P zoning districts and only when located more than 500 ft. from any adjoining residential district boundary line or 500 ft. from another indoor or outdoor shooting range. A PD is required for the proposed use because the property line of the proposed indoor shooting range is only ±225 ft. from a multifamily residential zoning district to the southwest (across a portion of the Florida Turnpike and a portion of S. Kirkman Rd.). Previous Actions: 1968: Property annexed into the City (City Doc. #8032A) as part of the Major Realty Properties. 1987: Property platted as part of Florida Center Turnpike Cypress Creek Golf Course Residential/Commercial Area, Plat No. 7. 1988: 28,688 sq. ft. 2-3 story Bally’s Fitness Center & 251-space surface parking lot constructed. 1996: Property purchased by current owner. 8/2012: Bally’s Fitness Center closed, LA Fitness opened (closed 10/2013).

Project Context

The 3-acre site is located at the southern end of Lawing Ln., east of S. Kirkman Rd., and north of the Florida Turnpike. Adjacent land use designations, zoning and uses are shown in Table 1 below.

Conformance with the GMP As previously noted, the property is going through a concurrent GMP amendment to the Future Land Use map (GMP2014-00008) to change the property from Community Activity Center to Industrial. This action would make the requested uses within the PD consistent with the GMP. Conformance with the LDC

LDC Chapter 58, Part 4Q provides requirements and criteria for indoor shooting ranges, as follows: a. Indoor shooting ranges shall be located more than five hundred (500) feet from any adjoining residential district boundary

line or another indoor or outdoor shooting range; b. The location and distance requirements shall not apply to government owned and operated shooting ranges, restricted to

use by law enforcement officers; and c. The applicant shall demonstrate that the location and operation of the shooting range will not pose a threat to the health and

safety of the citizens in the surrounding area. Other requirements include: a. The site plan and structure shall incorporate, at a minimum, the standards for shooting range construction in accordance with Section 13.38 of the City’s Building Code;

b. Shooting ranges shall not be allowed as accessory uses to gun stores unless shooting ranges are allowed in that district; and

c. Parking for shooting range customers shall be provided on-site. The parking standards for shooting ranges shall be one (1) parking space per shooting lane, plus the requirements for retail use applied to the portions of the operation not dedicated to the shooting lanes.

Also, indoor shooting ranges shall not create a nuisance, including, but not limited to, high noise levels, pollution or other detri-mental effects on the environment. Lastly, any indoor shooting range which is nonconforming to the provisions of this Part and Chapter, including any facility which is nonconforming to the distance requirements of this Part, shall be subject to the noncon-forming use provisions of Chapter 58, Part 7. Per the requirements of LDC Chapter 58, Part 4Q, the applicants have provided very detailed information about the proposed range that is consistent with State and Federal gun range and safety requirements. The applicants have also provided numerous letters of support for an existing range located in Hillsborough County and for the proposed range. The Orlando Police Depart-ment has reviewed the application and found it to be consistent with State and Federal requirements.

Development standards for the PD are provided in Table 2 on the preceding page. Allowing the proposed use via a PD will elimi-nate potential industrial or other less desirable uses that a rezoning to I-G, I-C or I-P might otherwise allow. The following sum-marizes the entitlements that the new PD would allow: A. Indoor shooting range within 500 ft. of a residentially-zoned property; and B. Maximum Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR) of 85% (per existing AC-1 zoning).

Except where otherwise noted, development shall be consistent with the default I-P zoning for the specific area within the PD. An updated site plan with proposed building elevations shall be submitted for Administrative Specific Parcel Master Plan (SPMP) review following adoption of the PD. Subsequent redevelopment of the site will require (at a minimum) administrative SPMP review or rezoning from PD to I-P. Staff concurs that the requested PD is consistent with the LDC. Transportation

Access to the site will be solely from Lawing Ln., a variable width commercial cul-de-sac connecting to Conroy Rd. to the north. Incoming eastbound traffic on Conroy Rd. can make a right turn onto Lawing Ln. or westbound traffic can make a left turn onto Lawing Ln. Outgoing traffic can either turn right onto eastbound Conroy Rd. and make a U-turn further east or can access north-bound S. Kirkman Rd. via the shared access between Bank of America and Autozone near Conroy Rd. Transportation Planning staff has noted that the east approach of the Conroy Rd./S. Kirkman Rd. intersection is planned for widening to add a second westbound to southbound left turn lane along with a new median that would restrict anyone attempting to make a left turn from Lawing Ln. onto westbound Conroy Rd. and would likely eliminate the westbound to southbound left turns currently allowed from Conroy Rd. onto Lawing Ln. This planned roadway improvement may have ramifications for not only the proposed in-door gun range use but also for existing retail and restaurants located along Lawing Ln. Parking. Per LDC Section 61.322, parking for the indoor shooting range and ancillary uses shall be as indicated in Table 3 at right.

Architecture/Urban Design The existing ex-Bally’s Fitness Studio building will be made over and enlarged, with a 36 ft. (w) x 364 ft. (l) 3-story indoor rifle range being added to the front of the building, which would require changes to the overall site plan and traffic circulation within the site. No floor plans or building elevations were provided with the PD application, so Urban Design concurs with the condition requiring separate administrative SPMP approval fol-lowing PD adoption, to achieve the superior design that a PD requires and to ensure that the overall build-ing and site plan function to City standards. Landscaping/Buffers. Technically, the front of the site is the narrow dimension of the lot, which would be on the north, with Lawing Ln. and S. Kirkman Rd. considered as street sides and the south ends of the property adjacent to the Florida Turnpike and conser-vation area being the rear. The change of use will re-quire that the site be brought up to Code with regard

Signage The proposed development site will be bound by LDC Section 64.201, relative to allowed sign area, which is based on building frontage facing public or private streets, but not based on frontage on limited access roadways such as the Florida Turnpike. The site is entitled to 489 sq. ft. of total signage, based on building frontages on Lawing Ln. and on S. Kirkman Rd. The site plan (see page 6 of this report) shows two (2) sign locations and the use will likely have a wall sign facing S. Kirkman Rd. Otherwise, all signs must be consistent with LDC Chapter 64 and must be permitted prior to fabrication and construction. Infrastructure Solid Waste. Dumpster/compactor locations will be determined and approved during SPMP review for the proposed develop-ment. Public Safety. As previously noted, the Orlando Police Department reviewed the PD request using CPTED principles and pro-vided a brief report on 3/13/2014, in addition to informational comments germane to the proposed uses. OPD is collecting data to determine if the proposed range will pose any crime-related health and safety issues with the adjacent commercial and residential uses. The applicant has provided ample information discounting any nexus between gun ranges and violence near their other fa-cilities. School Impacts The PD will consist of an indoor shooting range, ancillary retail, restaurant, classrooms and a museum, all non-residential uses. Thus, no further OCPS review is required.

C O N D I T I O N S O F A P P R O VA L - R E Q U I R E D (CO N T ’D) 1. CPTED Review. The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for Shooters World Orlando located at 4850 Law-

ing Ln., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper de-sign and effective use of a created environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening.

2. Natural Surveillance: Design the sites to keep intruders easily observable. This is promoted by features that maximize visibil-ity of people, parking areas and building entrances; doors and windows that look out onto streets and parking areas; pedes-trian-friendly sidewalks and street; and adequate nighttime lighting.

A lighting plan was not available at the time of this review. All lighting for this project shall meet the guidelines in Orange County Ordinance No. 2003-08 and Orlando Land Development Code. o Good lighting provides visual guidance and orientation to visitors and improves the perception of their safety especially in areas not easily observed from main walkways. o Pedestrian scale exterior lighting should not be screened out by landscaping or building structures such as overhangs or awnings. o Appropriate lighting should be included in any areas anticipated to be utilized after-dark. Uniformity of light is crucial to avoid 'dark' spots, especially in the parking areas. o Any illumination shall not cause a glare or excessive brightness that adversely affects the vision of pedestrians or motor vehicle operators on public or private property. o We encourage the use of full cut-off light fixtures to help direct the light to the area you wish to illuminate. Pedestrian walkways, back lanes and access routes open to public spaces should be lit so that a person with normal vision is able to identify a face from a distance of 30 feet. o Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security feature. Illumination, uniformity, and glare should all be taken into consideration. Lighting fixtures should be reliable, easy to maintain, withstand the elements, and be vandal-resistant. Landscaping: Low-growing shrubs are an excellent means for defining an area that requires visual surveillance. o All shrubs should be kept trimmed to no higher than 2 ½ feet and should not block windows. o Tree branches should be kept trimmed to a minimum of 6 feet from the ground; branches should be kept away from roofs; trees should not prevent building occupants from viewing entrances or sidewalks; tree canopies should not interfere with lighting or mechanical surveillance. o A maintenance plan is essential in landscaping. Exterior (non public) doors should be made of a solid material, metal frames, interior hinges and have 180° viewers/peep holes or small windows. A bicycle parking pad (if installed) should be observable from the building entrances, securely fastened and not hidden be hind landscaping. Ensure that any awnings or overhangs do not interfere with lighting if these locations are to be used during nighttime hours. Personnel working the retail and lounge area should have unobstructed views of any customers and employees entering or leaving the building and all access points to all parts of the facility. 3. Natural Access Control: Design the site to decrease crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in offenders, a perception of risk. This can be accomplished by designing street, sidewalks, building and parking lot entrances to clearly indicate public routes and discourage access to private areas with structural and landscape elements. Public entrances should be clearly defined by signs, walkways and landscaping. Landscaping used around the property should create clear way-finding, be well lit and not block entrances or create ambush points. There should be no easy access to the roof of the building. If awnings are installed over exterior doors, ensure they do not block lighting of the doors. Signs located in the parking lot should remind employees and patrons to lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight. Way-finding located throughout the property should help guide users to authorized areas while discouraging potential offenders. Signage with hours of operation should be clearly visible at any public entrance. Traffic calming techniques as well as surface and gateway treatments should be used to encourage safe vehicle speeds, reduce collision frequency and increase the safety and the perception of safety for non-motorized users.

ZON2014-00001 Shooters Wor ld PD Page 13 ZON2014-00001 Shooters World PD

I N F O R M AT I O N A L C O M M E N T S (CO N T ’D ) Walkways should be a minimum 6' in width to enhance pedestrian flow. 4. Territorial Reinforcement: Design can create or extend a sphere of influence, where users develop a sense of territorial control, while potential offenders are discouraged. This is promoted by features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments and CPTED post and pillar fences. Low growing landscaping should be used to establish property boundaries. Hostile or thorny vegetation is encouraged to deter potential offenders. The business should have an address that is clearly visible from the parking lot and street with numbers a minimum of five- inches high made of non-reflective material. Maintenance is an important aspect of territorial reinforcement. A well-maintained area sends the message that people notice and care about what happens in an area. This in turn discourages vandalism and other crimes. Fences may be used to add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive, and create a sense of community. CPTED style post and pillar fencing, at least 6-foot in height, made of commercial grade steel is a good option to consider. Another option for the perimeter of the property is landscape buffers, which include hostile vegetation, to delineate public from private spaces. The fencing and landscape buffers may also be used together to further define public, semi-public and private spaces. The use of bollards should be considered near any public entrance or any large windows to reduce the opportunity for potential offenders to use vehicles as weapons or tools to commit criminal acts on the property. 5. Target Hardening: This is accomplished by incorporating features that prohibit entry or access such as window locks, single- cylinder dead bolts for doors and interior door hinges. Door locks should be located a minimum of 40 inches from adjacent windows. An access control system should be utilized to keep private areas private such as employee break areas, storage rooms and employee only entrances. A security camera system capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and apprehension should be installed. Interior security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identification ("aiming" down from the ceiling often results in images of the offender's hat). CCTVs should also be placed in several locations throughout the parking areas, especially areas with limited or no natural surveillance. Consider including a commercial alarm system that is regularly maintained. During working hours, the alarm system should be programmed so that a short beep is sounded if a door opens. Non-public doors should be kept locked from the outside at all times. Internal policy should prohibit the "propping open" of exterior doors. OPD's Crime Prevention Unit encourages the use of tempered or impact resistant glass for all large glass doors and windows or a security film (such as Lexan™) to reduce the opportunity for burglaries. If security film is utilized, ensure that the light transmittance of the security film is greater than or equal to the light transmittance of the window's glass. Air conditioner units should be caged and the cages should be securely locked to protect against theft and vandalism. Additional precautions, such as silent alarms and other crime reduction strategies should be discussed with OPD's Crime Pre- vention Unit Master Police Officer Joseph Lundy, 407.246.2095. 6. Construction Site Protection. Due to the continued trend of theft of building materials and equipment from construction sites, Orlando Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit strongly recommends that the developer institute the following crime prevention/security measures at this project site: a) Post signs at the site that theft from the site or trespassing on a construction site is a felony under Florida Law and that the developer will prosecute. b) To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum of 150 foot intervals and at a height not less than fifteen (15') from the ground. The light source used should have a minimum light output of 2,000 lumens, shall be protected by a vandal resistant cover, and shall be lighted during the hours of darkness. c) In addition to lighting, one of the following physical security measures should be installed: i. Fencing, not less than six (6') feet in height, which is designed to preclude human intrusion, should be installed along the perimeter boundaries of the site and should be secured with chain and fire department padlocks for emergency vehicle access; post in a clear area, an emergency contact person and phones numbers for after hours, in case of an emergency; or


I N F O R M AT I O N A L C O M M E N T S (CO N T ’D ) ii. A uniformed security guard should be hired to continually patrol the construction site during the hours when construction work has ceased. d) Valuable construction materials and tools should be protected in a secondary fenced, locked cage. e) Post in a clean, open area, the name and numbers of an emergency contact person for OPD in case of a night-time emergency. If you have any questions, please call the Crime Prevention Unit Master Police Officer Joseph Lundy, 407.246.2095. 7. Innovative Response to Improve Safety (I.R.I.S.) Camera System: OPD recommends that the developer contact OPD in an effort to coordinate camera system technology. OPD has the ability to monitor specified external camera systems from private facilities at the will of the developer or building owner. OPD monitoring will be in addition to self- monitoring and will not replace building camera monitoring. OPD will not have the ability to interfere with or manipulate building camera systems, only view. The additional monitoring is beneficial to both the developer/owner and OPD as a crime prevention and overall public safety solution. IRIS questions should be directed to the Orlando Police Department, Sgt. Andy Brennan, at andrew.brennan@cityoforlan do.net. Sewer New sanitary sewer connections, if proposed, shall be reviewed with the Wastewater Division prior to the start of construction.
