The following building typologies are permitted, by area: (1) Building lot type assembly. (a) Additions, renovations and new buildings on existing built parcels, will require the assembly of at least one (1) permitted building type by area as permitted in this section. Parcels that can meet the minimum building lot size requirements are permitted to assemble more than one (1) building type. (b) Modifications to building lot types. If an applicant is expanding an existing building that predates this article and does not meet the minimum or maximum lot size requirements the development services director may remove the lot size requirements, if: (i) The use is permitted as outlined in section 2501052, uses permitted. (ii) The existing or proposed building and/or additions do not exceed the overall block requirements as provided in section 2501055, circulation standards. (iii) The overall design standards are met as outlined in section 2501061, general building standards. (2) Building type parameters. The following building lot type parameters are included in the table provided for each building type. Each standard is labeled by a letter (A, example) which directly relates to the table provided on each building type. Building types shall be consistently applied by and not permitted a variance to increase in building size, however, administrative zoning review committee may modify the standards as permitted in article IV, administrative zoning review committee and the relevant sections in this article. The categories for each building type parameter are described as follows: (a) Building Lot requirements: Provisions for minimum and maximums; lot depth, lot size and the permitted lot coverage and/or building footprint. (b) Building envelope: Provisions for the minimum and maximum setbacks permitted by front, side, and rear yards. The maximum and minimum frontage refers to the proportion of the lot width along which the primary building façade must be within the minimum and maximum front setback. (c) Accessory structure envelope: Provides the setbacks and maximum building footprints permitted for accessory structures. (d) Building height: Provisions for permitted heights in stories. The maximum height for first floor residential development shall be fourteen (14) feet and twenty (20) feet for non-residential. The maximum height for second story and higher shall not exceed twelve (12) feet. An applicant may be permitted to increase the maximum floor height if the overall maximum height, by building type is met. Each building lot typology provides the range of height appropriate for the building type. (3) Parking provisions. The amount of parking shall be determined as outlined in section 2501062, parking. Parking provisions provide zones where parking is permitted. The parking zone refers to any uncovered parking area located on the parcel. Driveways are permitted in any zone provided the frontage requirements have been met as required by building type. The diagram illustrates a primary and secondary street. Primary streets are streets that are addressed to the parcel of land. Secondary streets may or may not have access to the parcel. Zones are defined and illustrated by the lot area between the principal building frontage and: (a) Zone 1: The right-of-way of any primary street. (b) Zone 2: Any common interior lot line. (c) Zone 3: Any rear lot line. (d) Zone 4: The right-of-way of any secondary street. (e) On corner lots, the street (front) shall be the street with the higher classification. If both streets are of equal classification, the street (front) shall be the street abutting the front lot line. On through lots, the director of development services or designee shall determine which street or streets function as primary streets and which function as secondary streets. Limited access roads abutting lots shall not be considered primary streets for purposes of this section. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 6, Parking Zone Illustration (4) Private frontages, refers to the area that is attached or integrated into the primary building. Each building type identifies the range of frontages permitted within that building type. If there are multiple frontages provided in the table, the applicant may choose what private frontage to provide per building. The private frontage area may count towards the calculation of the frontage build out requirement as identified in the regulating plan. (Ord. No. 2017-115, § 3, 1-17-18)

Sec. 2501060. - Landscape requirements. (1) Landscape buffers between land uses within the DT-MU: (a) Control of redevelopment land uses and emphasis on mixed use development simplifies the requirements for buffers between adjacencies. Buffers shall apply only when the DT-MU area is adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods that require buffering from non-residential land uses as outlined in article IX, minimum landscape standards of the city's land development code for business districts. (2) Front buffers: (a) Any building utilizing a setback of thirty (30) feet or greater shall defer to the landscape standards in article IX, minimum landscape standards of the city's land development code for business districts. (3) Furnishing zones and landscape standards: (a) When an applicant has added additional streets as outlined in this article, the furnishing zones shall meet the required landscaping for any buildings fronting the street. (b) Furnishing zones shall provide, at a minimum, the following standards: (i) A minimum six-foot wide landscape area that includes: a. Canopy trees. One (1) canopy tree shall be located for every thirty (30) linear feet (or majority portion thereof) of building frontage that is located within the furnishing zone as identified in section 2501055, circulation standards. Canopy trees shall be of a species with a mature crown spread that will not conflict with the building roof, awnings or other façade projections. Canopy trees in pedestrian areas shall be installed with a minimum five-foot clear trunk, and shall be maintained, following establishment at a minimum six-foot clear trunk. b.

Coral Springs Land Development Code § 2501061 General design standards.

Sec. 2501061. - General design standards. The following standards apply to all buildings that are located within a Mixed-Use development area: (1) Height when adjacent to residential area(s). (a) Regardless of permitted heights, by building types, no building type may exceed four (4) stories when directly adjacent to existing or planned single family residential. Additional height will be permitted as follows i. For each one hundred (100) feet of distance from a parcel line, and/or alleyway or canal, a building may have one (1) additional story, not to exceed the maximum story permitted, by building type(s). (2) Parking garage. (a) Direct pedestrian access from parking garages to each adjacent street shall be provided. (b) The exterior facades of all parking garages fronting on any street shall be designed to achieve an architectural unity with the block. (c) Parking garages facing a street shall have the ground floor developed with enclosed residential, commercial or civic floor space to a minimum building depth of thirty (30) feet along the entire length of the structure on each street frontage, unless separated from the street or driveway by another building, parking lot and/or landscaped open space with a minimum depth of twenty (20) feet. (d) Parking garages shall comply with all building design standards for building façade, mass and scale, building features and lighting as described in this section. Inside garage light source shall be screened. (3) Drive-through facilities, when permitted must be designed as outlined: (a) Drive-through facilities shall only be located at the rear of a building as illustrated in Figure 7. (b) In the event that a rear drive-through location is impossible due to site constraints, then a side drive-through is permissible provided that all of the following requirements are met: i. The drive-through facilities shall be screened to minimize visual and noise impacts to residences and to preclude visibility from any streets or sidewalks. A masonry wall and landscape buffer shall screen drive-through facilities. The wall shall be one (1) foot higher not to exceed eight (8) feet in height than the facilities being screened on all sides where access is not needed. ii. No portion of queuing or access lanes or driveways shall be located between the building and the street or within forty (40) feet from the primary façade of the building. iii. For corner lots, the drive-through shall be located on the side of the building that is furthest from the corner. (c) Gas station pumps shall be located at the side or rear of the primary building and may not be visible to the street or sidewalk. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 7, Drive-Through facilities (4) Screening requirements. (a) Loading docks, truck parking, outdoor storage, utility meters, HVAC equipment, trash dumpsters, trash compactors, and other service functions shall not be visible from any street or sidewalk or adjacent residential area as illustrated in Figure 8. These facilities may be incorporated into the overall design of the principal building using screening walls of compatible material, style, color, texture, pattern, trim and details whether these service functions are attached or detached from the principal building. (b) The screening wall shall be one (1) foot higher than the largest object being screened, but not more than ten (10) feet high, on all sides where access is not needed and no higher than eight (8) feet when the area being screened is adjacent to existing single family zoned area(s) planned or built. An opaque gate, with the same height as the wall, shall be included where access is needed. (c) Building equipment at ground level shall be placed on the parking lot side of the building away from view from any streets, sidewalks and residential areas. The mechanical equipment shall be screened from view by fencing, vegetation, or parapet walls (if located on a roof) using the same materials as the principal building, i.e., stone, brick or stucco. The screening shall be at least equal to the width and height of the equipment to be screened from view. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 8, Screening Areas (5) Building façade. (a) Buildings shall provide a foundation or base, typically from ground to bottom of the lower windowsills, with changes in volume or material as illustrated in Figure 9. A clear visual division shall be maintained between the ground level floor and upper floors with either a cornice line or awning from twelve (12) feet to sixteen (16) feet above base floor elevation or grade, whichever height applies to the proposed development. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 9, Building Facade (6) Building features. (a) All buildings shall utilize at least three (3) of the following design features to provide visual relief along all elevations of the building as illustrated in Figure 10 and Figure 11: i. Divisions or breaks in materials or textures (materials should be drawn from a common palette). ii. Window bays. iii. Separate entrances and entry treatments, porticoes extending at least five (5) feet. iv. Variation in roof lines. v. Arcades. vi. Awnings installed in increments of fifteen (15) feet or less. vii. Dormers. viii. Canopies, extending at least five (5) feet. ix. Overhang, extending at least five (5) feet. x. Recessed entries (at least three (3) feet from the primary façade). xi. Protruding entries (at least three (3) feet from the primary façade). xii. Covered porch entries. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 10, Building features and storefront character (7) Architectural style. The DT-MU does not require a specific architectural style. The intent of regulating architectural style is to ensure the development is being designed with a defined architectural style. Style is defined by the particular combination of details, architectural elements, window patterns, finishes and material that identify a building as being part of a larger aesthetic idea of how a build appears. An applicant may use one style per development to ensure a consistent quality and design and shall identify the architectural style being used. Architectural style shall be any design that is documented in the subject of architectural history and not bound by any specific style. (8) Public entrance. Buildings that are open to the public shall have an entrance for pedestrians from the street to the building interior. This entrance shall be designed to be a distinctive and prominent element of the architectural design, and shall be open to the public during business hours. Buildings shall incorporate lighting and changes in mass, surface or finish which places an emphasis to the entrance. (9) Storefront character. (a) Commercial and mixed-use buildings shall express a "storefront character" as illustrated in Figure 10, in addition to the private frontage requirements. This guideline is met by providing all of the following architectural features, as illustrated in Figure 10, along the street building frontage, as applicable. i. Corner building entrances on corner lots. ii. Regularly spaced and similar shaped windows with window hoods or trim (all building stories). iii. Large display windows on the ground floor. Facades of all buildings facing streets, parks and plazas shall have windows covering a minimum of forty (40) percent and a maximum eighty (80) percent of the surface area of the ground floor of each storefront's linear frontage. Blank walls shall not occupy over fifty (50) percent of a street facing frontage and shall not exceed thirty (30) feet without being interrupted by a window or entry. Mirrored glass, obscured glass and glass block cannot be used in meeting this requirement. iv. The bottom edge of display windows on the ground floor facades shall be no more than thirty (30) inches above finished floor level. [image omitted; see the official code] Figure 11, Building features (10) Building orientation. The primary building entrances shall be visible and directly accessible from a street. Building massing such as tower elements shall be used to call out the location of building entries. (11) Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be designed with cut-off luminaries that are directed downward and away from other property so as to eliminate glare and light spillage to other property. (Ord. No. 2017-115, § 3, 1-17-18)

Coral Springs Land Development Code § 2501062 Parking requirements.

Sec. 2501062. - Parking requirements. The DT-MU District provides for the following parking standards: (1) Off-street parking requirements are established by using the following parking rates, by relevant land use: Table 1.0 DT-MU Parking Calculations Land Use | Parking Generation Rate General Office | 2.84 parking spaces per 1,000 sf. Government Office | 4.15 parking spaces per 1,000 sf. Commercial Retail | 2.94 parking spaces per 1,000 sf. Residential | 1.38 parking spaces per unit Hotel | 1.00 parking spaces per room Library | 2.6 parking spaces per 1,000 sf. School | 0.10 parking space per student Movie Theatres | 0.15 parking space per seat (2) Shared parking. An applicant may also be permitted for additional parking reductions that were established in "Downtown Coral Springs Mixed-Use District Shared Parking Study, dated June 18, 2015". This study recommended specific parking rate calculations by area within the Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Area. An applicant may utilize additional reductions for development and redevelopment based on mix of uses and hours of operation. These tables may be updated from time to time and are available in the development services department and on the city's website. An applicant may run the parking ratio analysis online, however, the final reduction and analysis shall be confirmed by the development services department. The tables are located at http://www.coralsprings.org. (Ord. No. 2017-115, § 3, 1-17-18)
