Orlando Health (owner), through Crescent Lucerne Venture (applicant), requests approval of a Planned Development Amendment for +/- 5.9-acres at the northwest corner of Orange Ave. and Gore St.

Specifically, the applicant requests to amend the existing Lucerne Hospital PD (aka Columbia Park Medical Center PD) for a redevelopment of the site with a two-phase, multi-building mixed-use project. Originally as presented to the Municipal Planning Board in Nov. 2015, the development program consisted of a 24,000 sq. ft. grocery store, 3,500 sq. ft. light retail, 3,500 sq. ft. restaurant, two five-story residential buildings (up to 390 total units) and two parking garages.

Subsequently, the applicant proposed minor modifications to the development program, which were reviewed administratively through a Planning Official’s Determination (LDC2016-00086) issued on May 24, 2016. This letter determined the proposed changes (below) constitute a minor deviation from the November plan.

• Eliminate the freestanding parking garage formerly on Parcel 2 and incorporate this parking instead into a new 7.5 level integrated parking structure on Parcel 1 providing a total of 654 garage spaces, plus 10 on-street parking spaces at the Promenade for a total of 664 parking spaces [an increase of 23 spaces from the previously approved 642 spaces]. Additionally, there are to be 20 on-street spaces in various locations around the subject property; however, those spaces do not count towards the project's required parking.

• Reconfigure Parcel 2 from a six story multifamily building and freestanding parking garage to a four story multifamily building with a larger footprint and no freestanding parking garage.

• Re-configured multifamily and retail locations on Parcel 1.

• Allow a south bound vehicle egress from the parking garage onto S. Orange Ave. modifying Transportation Engineering condition #5 in the MPB Staff Report.

• The amended development program for the Crescent Lucerne PD based on the determination submittal documents is:

  • 376 Multi-Family Residential Units [ +3 units from the 2015 MPB approval]

  • 24,000 s.f. Grocery Store

  • 3,500 s.f. Restaurant

  • 3,500 s.f. Light Retail

  • 665 Parking Spaces (655 garage + 10 Promenade) [ +23 spaces from 2015 approval]

As stated in the PD ordinance, Phase 2 of Crescent Lucerne will require review through a Planned Development amendment.

This project received final approval from the ARB on May 11, 2016.
