Hello city pinagorda, my name is fabianna solano planner for the urban design division in the last video city, staff and consultants. Summarize the code workshop and the results from the surveys in this video, I will be showing you the draft regulating plan for puna gorda's new form base code. Now, I'm sure you're wondering what a regulating plan is. Let me show you: a regulating plan is just a more fine-grained version of a zoning map which defines regulating districts, overlays and sometimes open space and street types.

The following map series shows the draft regulating plan for punegorda's new form based code, now, keep in mind that the form based code covers only the traditionally platted and historic neighborhoods and and around downtown punta gorda, we'll go through each regulating district one by one describing the overall intent and key characteristics as we go. Let's get started, the downtown core is a traditional commercial center of pinagorda.

This district accommodates the most intense urban development in the city, serving not only the residents of penagorda but also nearby communities and visitors. The area features mixed use and multi-story buildings that actively engage streets and sidewalks to promote public gathering and support, vibrant retail, dining and commercial spaces.

Village centers are compact and mixed used areas that provide a range of residential, commercial and office uses which not only serve the needs of those living there, but also the needs of adjacent residential neighborhoods development patterns are intentionally urban with street oriented building that create a vibrant walkable environment, though at lower intensities to those permitted in the downtown core.

The flex commercial corridor is intended to accommodate the highest flexibility of uses in puna gorda, supplementing existing highway-oriented commercial development as the market demands. New street-oriented and mixed-used buildings will facilitate walkability and create a more welcoming gateway and seamless transition into the downtown core.

The maker village is an area that includes clusters of light, industrial, artisan and production, distribution and repair uses new live work, lofts and small scale shop, front and multi-family buildings complement existing one and two-story warehouses to create a unique and complete working.

Neighborhood neighborhood transition areas provide a similar variety of uses as the downtown core and village centers, though at scales more closely matching the surrounding residential neighborhoods buildings within this district range from shop fronts to multiplexes to single-family houses, creating a deliberate transition between the highest intensity, mixed-use districts and the lowest intensity residential districts along the borders of the traditional residential neighborhoods are residential edge areas that accommodate a more diverse range of residential building types, including row houses, triplexes, fourplexes and multiplexes buildings.

While these areas allow for slightly higher density residential, the overall scale of the building still blend with those of the adjacent traditional residential areas, traditional residential areas are the one and two family home neighborhoods of old pinagorda.

These areas are characterized by detached single family houses and duplexes on compact and regular sized lots that feature traditional elements like porches and porticos, which enhance the quaint and walkable character of the city parks and open space encompasses those lands owned by the city with a primary purpose of providing park. Facilities and public open spaces for the benefit of the community city council will set development standards for these areas.

On a project by project basis through the city's capital improvements program in alignment with adopted, comprehensive plan and parks and recreation master plan, that is all we have for this video. But if you watched the last video, I asked you all: how tall do you think the charlotte county justice center is including stories in height? The answer to the trivia question was five stories and a height of 114 feet.

But before I go, let's play another trivia game, but this time I'll be testing how well you know the densities of the buildings in the city between paradise point and the schoolhouse apartments, which one do you think is denser basically more units per acre stay on the lookout for the next video. Where I'll provide the answers to the trivia question and go over the overlay districts see you.
