Policy C. 8. 2 - Coordinating Public/ Private Partnerships. The City of Fort Walton

B. CONFORMITY WITH CRA PLAN
The PUD is consistent with the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan for the
following reasons:
Section 5. 2 Community Design Guidelines and Standards, Housing Design and
Orientation:
The design of the multi- family dwellings includes features typically associated
with detached single- family houses, including front doors and porches that
face the street. The massing, setbacks, and character of the new development
maintains the character of the community, which is predominantly that of
single- family detached housing types.
Section 5.2. 1 Residential (MR) District Guidelines and Standards:
This district promotes standards for residential development in the MR Urban
Framework Concept Zone to ensure housing integrates well with
that new
existing homes and creates street frontages that make neighborhood streets
enjoyable to walk along and safe. Lot sizes and patterns within a neighborhood
are varied to avoid monotonous streetscapes and provide a diverse range of
housing types.
Section 5.2. 1. 1 Building Design, Facades and Roof Form:
Facade Articulation. The facades of all residential buildings that face an
adjacent structure, park, or open porches, bay windows,
space with
balconies, or similar articulation add to the neighborhood streetscape.
Windows. All street- facing facades with windows covering at least 150/ of 0
the facade' s area add to the neighborhood streetscape.
Garage Doors. Not applicable to final plat
Roof Form. Residential buildings are encouraged to have hipped or gabled
roofs. It is best if principal roofs have a minimum slope of 4: 12 and porch
roofs, dormers, and shed roofs attached to the principal structure have a
pitch of no less than 2: 12.
Balcony Railings/ Porch Structures: The following are good designs
guidelines: Balcony railings made of wood or metal; porch columns or
posts made of wood, stucco- clad masonry, or brick and masonry or brick
16

Planned Unit Development
columns built to be no less than 12" x 12" and round wood columns no
less than 10" in diameter.
Section 5.2. 1. 2 Materials:
New buildings will support regional traditions if they have exterior finishes of
wood vinyl siding, hardie board, masonry, and/ or stucco with pitched roofs clad
with asphalt or fiberglass shingles, flat cement tiles ( not barrel 5 " V-
tiles),
crimp" or standing seam metal roofs, and wood shakes or shingles. The
architectural elevations show use of hardie board and standing seam metal
roof.
Section 5. 2. 1. 3 Relation of Buildings to Streets and Parking, Orientation:
The principal orientation of the front facade of all buildings is best if the front of
the building and primary entrance is street facing and parallel or nearly parallel
to the streets they face. Rear yards along a local or connector street does not
enhance the neighborhood streetscape. Multi- family buildings often have their
primary entry facing a central, landscaped courtyard; however, fac;ade facing
the street is encouraged to have articulation that is similar to the " front" of a
building. Porches for all residential types support the regional tradition and the
neighborhood streetscape if they are accessed directly from a public street and
visible from the street, therefore an incentive should be provided that allows
porches to extend into the front setback and comprise a minimum of 250/ of the 0
width of a building' s primary front ade ( not including the garage). Porches for
fa<;
duplexes, condos, and apartments are often shared. Tunnel-like entrances are
specifically discouraged. The site plan for Sound Side shows entry porches that
can be accessed from the street.
Section 5.2. 1. 4 Setbacks:
Front setbacks are measured from the right- of-way line of the adjacent
street with a minimum setback of 15 feet and a maximum setback of
25 feet. Porches, awnings, bay windows, and second story balconies may
project into the setback.
Side yard setbacks in residential areas are a minimum of 5 feet from the
property line, unless a zero- lot line is proposed. If a zero- lot line unit is
proposed, a single 5- foot side yard is required.
Section 5. 4. 5. 3 cites recommendations for Sub-Zone 3 ( Beal Parkway
Neighborhood):
One of the recommendations proposes a prototype for redevelopment of the
Germanv Terrace Housing Authority development, shown below Reference
