I. Vision for Young Circle 3

I. Vision for Young Circle 1.0 Introduction Creating a vision for Young Circle... Downtown Hollywood has many attributes that make it a great place, but its potential to be a signifi cant part of Broward County and South Florida lies in its authentic historic character, its unique park, and its pure, circular shape. Young Circle and Young Circle Park make Downtown Hollywood unlike most downtowns in South Florida and the United States. The combination of a new ArtsPark and sound architectural design, which emphasizes the circular form, can launch Hollywood s status as a signifi cant and unique place. The Vision for Young Circle hinges on attracting a core base of people. This means creating a comfortable pedestrian environment with pedestrian active uses. The following document illustrates general objectives for attracting pedestrians as identified through the City s visioning process. It also provides recommendations for implementing the vision by changing the zoning code and adopting design guidelines. Part one of this document summarizes the results of two forums for the Young Circle District. After a panel discussion about Young Circle s future, the Zyscovich team worked with City staff, on site, to understand the character of Young Circle and to identify objectives and opportunities for public improvements. These fi ndings were presented to the City in a second forum. 4 The second part of this document presents an evaluation of the existing zoning code and recommendations for improvements. Zyscovich Inc. prepared an overall concept for Young Circle s development which was presented to the public in a third forum. As part of this process, Zyscovich, Inc. worked with three major developers who had plans to build projects around the Circle. These projects helped shape Zyscovich Inc. s overall zoning recommendations. Part three of this document provides design standards for private development and is intended to accompany the zoning recommendations to be incorporated by reference, into the new zoning code, and integrated into the existing City of Hollywood Design Manual. The standards are intended to help developers and their architects design buildings that will activate the street with high quality and detailed facades. Recommendations for design guidelines and zoning changes were presented, and approved in concept, at a City Commission workshop.

I. Vision for Young Circle 2.0 Enhancing the Vision Identifying objectives to implement the Vision... The Vision for Young Circle is an enhanced pedestrian realm with active uses on and around the Circle. Buildings should create a safe pedestrian space and use high quality design. To achieve this Vision, a specifi c set of objectives must be met. Activities will be dispersed throughout Young Circle Park. Various activities, such as a children s play area, are planned throughout the park. 2.1 INCREASED PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY Use the ArtsPark as a tool for attracting increased pedestrian activity, restaurants, and retail on both sides of the Circle. Pedestrian activity can be enhanced with uses that provide leisure activity, such as shopping, eating, and drinking. More coordinated activities in the park can help create a synergy between pedestrian uses on the exterior of the Circle and arts and cultural activities within the Park. This will create a synergy between the activity within the Circle and the retail space across the street. 2.2 ARTS AND CULTURAL USES Continue to build arts and cultural uses in the downtown. Capitalize on the existing and planned arts and cultural resources in the area to create a good base of arts activities and establish strong connections among the various uses. There is already a small number of art and cultural venues and activities in the area. New buildings should help tie together these existing cultural uses and create new uses which may be supported by the infl ux of new residential units. 5 Future Holocaust museum. Existing and planned Arts and Cultural uses. Art and Culture Center.

I. Vision for Young Circle 2.3 CONNECTIONS TO THE GOLF COURSE Visually and physically connect Young Circle to the Hollywood Golf Course with a network of green space and a public greenway, anchored by a new clubhouse. The northeast corner of 17th Avenue and Polk Street should be set aside for a new clubhouse to serve the community. This triangular parcel of land, adjacent to the golf course, is not part of the golf course property and provides an excellent opportunity to link the activities on Young Circle to the golf course. Jogging paths can link the golf course to Young Circle Park and the FEC line. 6 Create a greenway network throughout the Downtown. The original Hollywood Country Club clubhouse. 2.4 EXTENDING HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD Enhance pedestrian activity across the Circle by connecting the existing business district across Young Circle Park to the eastern portion of Hollywood Boulevard, the golf course, and adjacent neighborhoods.

I. Vision for Young Circle Pedestrian refuges make road crossings easier for pedestrians. 2.5 PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS Create a safer environment for pedestrian crossing Young Circle. Enhance pedestrian crossing around Young Circle by reconfiguring parking and adding a pedestrian promenade to narrow the crossing distance and create areas of refuge. Reconfi guring parking away from the park, separated from the traffi c around Circle, and closer to the retail and shopping activities will make parking more convenient and safer and put more people on the street. Crosswalks can be ornamental, as well as functional. In this example, brick pavers enhance the aesthetic quality of this crosswalk. Curved buildings help to emphasize a circular space. Pedestrians will have a much shorter distance to cross the Young Circle roadway. 2.6 CIRCULAR FORM Augment the circular form of Young Circle by creating buildings that reinforce the Circle. Buildings fronting Young Circle must be designed with a curved facade which follows the build-to line as established in the zoning code. This curve will be setback after a certain height and should continue to the top of the building. 2.7 DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS Preserve development rights while improving the character and quality of development on the Circle. By adopting the Zoning Recommendations and Design Guidelines that were a result of this visioning process, the City can update their zoning code without compromising development rights. 7 Columbus Circle, New York, a more recent example of a curved building in a circular space.

I. Vision for Young Circle 3.0 Public Improvements Maintaining and improving the public realm... There are several City efforts to make public improvements to Downtown Hollywood. The following sections provide a guide to public improvements in the downtown area and recommendations for additional opportunities. Plan for Arts Park. Plan for street section. Parking Plan. ARTSPARK The ArtsPark may be used as a tool for attracting increased pedestrian activity, restaurants, and retail on both sides of the Circle. To achieve this, the FDOT Street section should facilitate safe pedestrian crossings and encourage a pleasant environment for pedestrian movement. The following recommendations have received a positive response from FDOT: Eliminate parking around the periphery of the Park Create a double bay of parking on the commercial side of the street. Create a wide, shaded promenade to separate the travel lanes from the parking and to narrow the crossing distance. Widen the sidewalk to accommodate more café tables PARKING Continue to plan for new parking. As downtown develops more residential and commercial uses, and the population increases, the City will have parking shortages. On-street parking will become insuffi cient and the City will need to build new parking structures. City parking structures should have ground fl oor uses and incorporate liner uses into the facade design when fronting public streets. LANDSCAPING Sidewalks should be landscaped with a combination of shade trees and palm trees. Palm trees should not be used without shade trees because they provide little coverage from the sun. Any improvements to public sidewalks, including improvements to the ArtsPark should incorporate shade and canopy trees into the design. Similarly, right-of-way improvements should be consistent. Therefore, any damaged sidewalks or landscape, as a result of private construction activity, must be restored by the project owner. 8

I. Vision for Young Circle NEW STREETS Street blocks should be a consistent length to create a rhythm. This rhythm relates directly to the pattern of pedestrian movement. Blocks that are too long discourage strolling and are overwhelming to pedestrians. Shorter blocks, a maximum depth of 300 feet, are ideal. Most of the blocks on Young Circle are similar in length except for block 57, on the east side of the Young Circle Park. Block 57 was the original site of the historic Hollywood Hotel and was designed as an oversized block. In an effort to enhance the walkability of Young Circle this block should be bisected by Hollywood Boulevard. 17th Avenue presents a dangerous and confusing condition when it jogs slightly west after it crosses Tyler Street. Creating a boulevard along block 55 between Tyler and Polk Street would realign 17th Avenue to create a much safer condition. This would require using some private land on the east side of block 55 to create a southbound lane and a green median. This confi guration would also create a stronger pedestrian connection from Young Circle Park to the Hollywood Golf Course. Street closures are not recommended. 9 Proposal for alterations to existing streets and new streets.

II. Zoning Recommendations 10

II. Zoning Recommendations 1.0 Purpose and Approach Create special districts and implement general zoning improvements... 1.1 INTENT The following recommendations pertain to the City of Hollywood Zoning and Land Development Code and are specifi c to the overall Project Study Area within the City of Hollywood Community Redevelopment Area. The intent of the recommendations is to provide the City of Hollywood and the Community Redevelopment Agency a set of districts to implement their master plan and overall future development vision within the downtown area. The Young Circle District will replace the existing zoning designations. The remaining districts will overlay the underlying zoning classifi cation. The districts include: 11 Recommended Districts Young Circle District Hollywood Boulevard Overlay District Tyler Street Overlay District Floating Transit Oriented Development Overlay District Project Boundaries 1.2 PROJECT BOUNDARIES The Project Study Area is bounded by the following streets: On the North: Taylor St. (between 22 nd Ave and N. 17 th Ave) and Polk St. (between N. 17 th Ave and N. 16 th Ave); On the East: N. 17 th Ave (between Taylor St. and Polk St.); 16 th Ave (between Polk St. and Van Buren St.); and S. 17 th Ave. (between Van Buren St. and Jackson St. On the South: Van Buren St. (between S. 17 th Ave and S. 16 th Ave) and Jackson St. (between 22 nd Ave. and S. 17 th Ave.); and On the West: 22 nd Ave.

II. Zoning Recommendations 2.0 General Changes Clarify the overall zoning regulations, as they currently exist... 2.1 REPEAL CCC-2 ZONING The Young Circle District will replace CCC-2 zoning. Therefore, the CCC-2 zoning classifi cation should be repealed from the City s zoning code. 2.2 MAP AMENDMENT Remove CCC-1 designation for blocks 39, 40 and 58 surrounding Young Circle and within the proposed Young Circle, Historic Hollywood Boulevard, and Polk Street Overlay Districts. 2.3 SHARED PARKING Article 7 in the City s zoning code should be amended to include specific shared parking requirements. This would allow developments to have a more fl exible parking plan and encourage more effi cient land usage. 2.4 CCC-1 USES Require parking lots or garages to have ground fl oor uses adjacent to the public right of way, with an exception for alley ways. 2.5 DIMENSIONAL VARIANCES Section 5.3.F in the City s zoning code defi nes the dimensional variance criteria which include: maintaining the basic intent of the regulations; compatibility with surrounding land uses; consistency with the Comprehensive Plan; and minimal necessity. It does not, however, require that unnecessary hardship be proven. Unnecessary hardship is typically the fundamental criterion that must be met for variance applications and most often refers to hardships created by the physical characteristics of the lot or site. It is recommended that unnecessary hardship be added as a criterion for variance with the following defi nition: A hardship may exist by reason of exceptional shape of a lot or other physical conditions of a parcel of land that are unique and distinct from that of other properties within the same zoning district. Unnecessary hardship shall not include personal or fi nancial hardship or any other hardship that is self-imposed. The granting of a variance based on unnecessary hardship shall be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the underlying zoning district and shall not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. 12 FAR should not include parking. This example shows an FAR of 1. 2.6 FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) The base calculation of the FAR is currently unclear in the existing regulations. Typically, the FAR is defi ned as being based on either the gross or net area of the lot or site. It is recommended that the FAR definition specify that the calculation be based on net area.

II. Zoning Recommendations 2.7 HISTORICAL REVIEW/CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS (COA) Article 5 in the City s Zoning Code should be amended to include a new section on the duties and composition of the Joint Development Review Board and the Historic Preservation Board. The process of development review in designated historical districts is currently unclear. Section 5.6 in the City s zoning code provides for a Historic Preservation Board to determine the issuance of a Certifi cate of Appropriateness (COA) of development within a Historic Site, or Historic District, or Historic Multiple Property Listing. However, Section 5.3.I.3 provides that projects within historic districts not located in single-family districts shall be reviewed by a joint meeting of the Historic and the Development Review Board. It is implied that the Joint DRB issues the COA, however this authority should be clearly stated in the code. In addition, in order to issue a COA, the Joint Development Review Board should incorporate a greater Historical Board membership than currently mandated (three members). In order to ensure that historic issues are properly addressed, it is recommended that the Historical Board membership should constitute at least 50% of the Joint Board membership. 2.8 VACATING ALLEYS Permit property owners to aggregate land and vacate alleys with City Commission approval. 13 2.9 PD ZONING CLASSIFICATION Do not allow properties in the Young Circle Special District to be rezoned to PD because the zoning requirements for PD are incompatible with the intent of the Young Circle Overlay District. PD has no requirements for FAR or height and has minimal setback requirements in contrast to the Young Circle Special District, which has been crafted with very specifi c height, FAR and setback requirements to achieve compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods.

II. Zoning Recommendations 3.0 New Defi nitions Add new definitions to the zoning glossary, Article 2... The build-to requirement for Young Circle also requires building facades to be curved. The build-to plot line for Young Circle follows the curve of the Circle. 3.1 BUILD-TO An alignment established at a certain distance from the plat line to a line along which a building shall be constructed. Build-to dimensions require that primary building frontages (excluding colonnades, arcades and awnings) be constructed at the dimension provided within these regulations. Build-To requirements are applicable for a minimum of 60% of the building frontage. 3.2 FLOOR AREA RATIO FAR is the allowable fl oor area of a building or buildings on any lot or site divided by the net area of the lot or site. Floor area calculations include all gross leasable areas, but shall not include parking and loading areas; open terraces, patios, atriums or balconies; stairways, elevator shafts or mechanical rooms. However, in the case of stand alone parking garages, parking areas shall be included in the FAR. 3.3 PARKING DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS Section 7.1.B.2 in the City s zoning code defi nes the dimensional requirements for parking stalls. Currently, the stall length (single loaded stack) and driveway width requirements for 90 degree parking are 19 feet and 24 feet respectively. It is recommended that these dimensions be modifi ed to 18 feet and 24 feet, respectively. The parking stall widths should remain unchanged. For all parking garages, parking stalls shall be separated by double stripes. The parking stall width should be measured from the middle of the double stripes. Requirements for parallel parking spaces should be modifi ed from 10 feet wide and 24 feet long to 8 feet wide and 20 feet long, respectively. 3.4 FRONTING YOUNG CIRCLE Apply the defi nition of frontage of a property, as defi ned in Article 2 of the City s Zoning Code, to properties on Young Circle. 3.5 LINER USES Habitable space, at least 25 feet deep, which conceals the upper stories of above ground parking structures. 3.6 PARKING ROWS AND LOTS A parking lot is at least one row of parking with more than four parking spaces. 3.7 SETBACK A setback is a required minimum distance between the property line and the building line. A building may not exceed any given setback requirement. 14

II. Zoning Recommendations 4.0 Young Circle District Create a specific spatial character... 4.1 INTENT Promote joint public/private sector development, while maintaining a sound urban vision for the circle. Young Circle. This will be accomplished by establishing dimensional and density criteria that will both protect and invigorate the existing Young Circle Park and its immediate environs. The district promotes creating a specific overall spatial character, pedestrian oriented edges and transitional dimensional criteria that will protect adjacent neighborhoods, view corridors and existing historical districts. As a result, future development will benefi t the city by creating an interesting and lively center for downtown. Organizational structure. 4.2 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The zoning requirements for the Young Circle District will be organized by City block rather than by building frontages, as is currently the case, to simplify and clarify the regulations. Typical zoning conventions base setback regulations on a single building frontage. As entire blocks are assembled around Young Circle, the buildings will have multiple street frontages. The proposed block organization allows for the regulations to address each street frontage on an individual basis and allows both the developer and implementing agency a clear and predictable understanding of the regulations. Additionally, the geometry of the properties and blocks is irregular and also creates multiple street frontages given that the area is composed of a large circle intersected by an orthogonal grid of streets. Finally, although the regulations are largely focused on the circle, the adjacent land uses outside of the circle vary from quadrant to quadrant. The block method has a level of consistency to address the spatial requirements of the circle, while ensuring compatibility with neighboring districts. 15 Existing Zoning for Young Circle. Proposed Zoning for Young Circle District. 4.3 RECOMMENDATIONS The Young Circle Special District should replace the current CCC-2 zoning classification, which should be removed from the Zoning Atlas. It should also replace the current CCC-1 zoning for parcels within the Young Circle District boundary. The proposed district adopts the fundamental components of the CCC- 2 district and maintains the current development rights. The purpose and uses (permitted, exceptions, accessory and prohibited) remain the same, as do the height and FAR requirements because they are both reasonable and appropriate. The primary difference is that the district implements more specifi c setback requirements, introduces build-to requirements, and eliminates the need for FAR bonuses by providing for the maximum allowable FAR at 3.75 in conjucntion with new

II. Zoning Recommendations proposed design guidelines. In addition bonuses are given for height when building design meets certain criteria as described in section 4.4 Supplemental Regulations. These requirements serve to shape future development and ensure spatial compatibility with both the circle and surrounding areas. Liner uses, shown above in orange, conceal parking garages and are required on Young Circle. Ground fl oor uses, shown in red, are required on all streets except for alleys. LINER USES: Habitable space, at least 25 deep, which conceals the upper stories of above ground parking structures. FRONTAGE: The plot line which abuts a street or separates the plot from a street. (i) Design Standards Design Standards should be incorporated into the City of Hollywood Design Manual (in lieu of FAR bonuses). Only the appropriate development review board should approve deviation from the design guidelines. (ii) Uses Permitted Uses: Residential or Lodging: Bed and breakfast, hotel, residential single family attached, residential multi-family, accessory units.

On the ground floor medical or dental clinic, medical or dental offi ce, physical therapy clinic, professional business offi ce, veterinary offi ce or clinic or boarding. Prohibited Uses: Any use not identifi ed as permitted by right or special exception shall be prohibited. All streets, excluding alleys, shall have pedestrian active uses, as defi ned in Article 2 of the City s Zoning Code, for the entire ground fl oor of a building. Exceptions can be made to accommodate appropriate circulation areas, such as parking garage driveways. Liner uses are required for parking structures fronting Young Circle and are strongly encouraged on Federal Highway, Tyler Street, Hollywood Boulevard, and Harrison Street. These requirements apply to all properties that share a lot line with the Young Circle right-of-way. (iii) Development and Setback Regulations The basic requirements of the Young Circle District are summarized below. Specifi c block recommendations follow at the end of this section. Maximum FAR: 3.75; Maximum Height: 15 Stories or 150 feet, whichever is less and subject to the individual block requirements. For sites less than 30,000 sq. ft. buildings may not exceed 5 stories or 50 feet of height. Sites between 30,000 and 40,000 sq. ft. may not exceed 10 stories or 100 feet. Sites that are greater than 40,000 sq. ft. may not exceed 15 stories or 150 feet. Setbacks: Pursuant to the individual block requirements. Off-Street Parking: There are no parking requirements for retail, commercial or offi ce use which is located on the fi rst and second fl oor of a building. Parking requirements for residential, retail, office, or commercial uses above the second floor may be found in Article 7 of the City s zoning code. However, theatres will ber permitted to have 1 parking space for every 8 seats, instead of 1parking space for every 4 seats. 17

II. Zoning Recommendations 4.4 SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS In the interest of encouraging the dedication of public right of way, the development of cultural and educational centers, services or features intended for use primarily by the general public, and for rehabilitating significant historic structures consistent with the Secretary of Interiors Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Structures, the following development incentives are recommended. Such incentives shall be granted at the discretion of the appropriate development board and the City Commission. 1. Where such dedications and/or uses are developed or restored in conjunction with other allowable uses and within the same block, such developments shall be granted additional building height of 2 stories or 25 feet, whichever is less; and 2. Allowable FAR may be transferred among commonly owned property within the block containing the dedication, cultural use or restoration, regardless of location or adjacency within the block. 18

III. Design Standards 36

III. Design Standards 1.0 General Objectives 1.1 INTENT Creating an image for Young Circle... The following design standards have been developed to elevate the quality of architectural design and public spaces in Downtown Hollywood and to create an image for Young Circle. The image for Young Circle is dependent on two design objectives: fi rst, consideration for the pedestrian scale, and secondly, architectural integrity. The first objective depends on the value of people to activate the Circle. This occurs at the base of the building on the ground fl oor. The second objective recognizes that the quality of the architecture is an important character defi ning value. This occurs at the middle and top of the building where the middle is defi ned as the podium, from above the ground fl oor to the fi rst 55 of height, and the top is defi ned as the tower, above 55 of height. 1.2 BOUNDARIES These standards serve as a template for new development in the Downtown and the Floating TOD Districts. The boundaries are as follows: 37 On the North: Taylor St. (between 22 nd Ave and N. 17 th Ave) and Polk St. (between N. 17 th Ave and N. 16 th Ave); On the East: N. 17 th Ave (between Taylor St. and Polk St.); 16 th Ave (between Polk St. and Van Buren St.); and S. 17 th Ave. (between Van Buren St. and Jackson St.) On the South: Van Buren St. (between S. 17 th Ave and S. 16 th Ave) and Jackson St. (between 22 nd Ave. and S. 17 th Ave.); and On the West: 22 nd Ave. The Design Standards apply to all property within the project boundary.

2.0 How to Use the Standards 2.1 HOW THE STANDARDS ARE ORGANIZED The standards are organized into two sections: 1. Pedestrian Scale This refers to the ground fl oor of buildings and provides for shade, wide sidewalks, and ground fl oor building facade. 2. Architectural Integrity This refers to the middle and upper fl oors of buildings and includes guidelines for building form, building facades, articulation, renovation and restoration. 2.2 WHEN THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE APPLIED The standards should be applied for all new developments and renovations in the Young Circle District, the Hollywood Boulevard Overlay District, the Polk Street Overlay District, and the TOD Overlay District for the Downtown. 2.3 THE CITY S APPROVAL PROCESS All new development projects and renovations must be submitted to the City for approval. The following section provides a description of this process and recommendations for getting your project approved. 1. Review the Zoning Code and Design Standards. Become familiar with the underlying zoning as it relates to your project and consult the design standards to understand the overall objectives of the district. It is recommended that you read all sections of the design standards as most sections will apply to your project. The Design Standards are supplemental to regulations listed in the City s Zoning and Land Development Regulations. 38 2. Technical Advisory Committee. The Planning and Zoning Department Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will review your project Site Plan in a series of three meetings. The fi rst meeting is a pre-application meeting to review your project with City staff. This will be the fi rst opportunity for you to meet with the staff to ask and answer questions. A second meeting is a preliminary review of your project for the City staff to comment on any changes that have been made to the project. The third and fi nal meeting is a fi nal review of your project. The TAC will provide you with a written report to explain if your project is found substantially and technically compliant. 3. The Development Review Board (DRB) and Joint Development Review Board (JDRB) and Historic Preservation Board (HPB). Once your project has been approved it will be presented to

the DRB or the JDRB if it is in the Community Redevelopment Area and part of a historic district. The DRB has the authority to approve the site plan and the project design. 4. Variances and Special Exceptions. Variances and Special Exception requests are made to the DRB at the time of design and site plan review. 5. Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition. The Historic Preservation Board and the City Commission must approve applications to demolish all or part of a building that is in a designated historic district. Applications for demolishing buildings in a historic district in the CRA, must be presented to the JDRB as well as the City Commission. Demolition cannot occur without a Certifi cate of Appropriateness (COA). 39

III. Design Standards 3.0 Consider Pedestrian Scale Creating places that value human presence... Awnings enhance a building facade while providing shade. Awnings can frame a sidewalk to create a protected, outdoor room. Arcades and colonnades provide more rigorous protection from sun and rain. Downtown Hollywood s future success depends on pedestrian movement to activate streets and add value to the street s character. The architecture of new developments in downtown Hollywood should respond to the needs of pedestrians and pedestrian movement. Designs should provide opportunities for shade, wide sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and enhanced facades at the ground floor or base of the building. 3.1 SHADE When considering human scale, incorporate shade and cover into the building design. In South Florida, successful revitalization can be hindered by our harsh climate. Pedestrians are discouraged from walking when they are exposed to the sun for long periods of time. To overcome this challenge, urban designers need to plan for pleasant pedestrian environments using layers of shade and cover with awnings, colonnades, and canopy trees. (i) Awnings Incorporate awnings into facade design to provide shade, rich materials, and color. Awnings or arcades shall be used to enhance building facades and storefronts with color and dimension and to provide shade for browsing and cafe seating. Different awnings shall be used for various storefronts to avoid a homogeneous appearance including free or fi xed valances, open or closed sided, and open-sided with a valance drop. Creative uses of materials is encouraged. Awnings shall be generally consistent in height and depth to create a canopy of shade. They may encroach the setback and build-to requirements by a distance of seven (7) feet. (ii) Colonnades/Arcades Utilize arcades as a series of evenly spaced arches, and colonnades as a series of evenly spaced columns, to provide continuous shade in a semi-enclosed corridor. Arcades and colonnades may be combined with awnings and signage to give defi nition to each store. (iii) Canopy Trees Provide opportunities for canopy tree plantings to fi lter the sun and create layers of shade. Canopy trees provide dappled sunlight that is soft and mild. Trees should be planted in front of awnings or arcades to achieve maximum shade. 40 Canopy trees provide shady sidewalks.

III. Design Standards Buildings are setback to create small seating areas and gardens in front of the retail. 3.2 WIDE SIDEWALKS Accommodate a variety of pedestrian movement with wide sidewalks. Great streets have generous sidewalks for cafe seating, brisk walkers, strollers, and window shoppers. They can handle a range of traffi c patterns in a comfortable manner. When the downtown CRA implemented streetscape improvements around Young Circle and peripheral streets, the sidewalks were widened to fi fteen (15) feet. Presently, the sidewalks are too narrow for pedestrians to stroll comfortably alongside cafe tables. As the downtown grows and becomes more populated, the sidewalks should become wider to accommodate setback requirements, decorative paving, entry plazas, and cafe tables. (i) Setback Requirements All buildings along Young Circle must setback fi ve (5) feet to increase the sidewalk width to twenty (20) feet. In addition, the fi ve (5) foot setback must match the build-to line. This pedestrian path is articulated with colorful paving. This generous courtyard includes cafe tables for multiple restaurants, a public fountain, and a backyard for the residential building in the background. Arcades and colonnades may encroach the setback and build-to requirements provided that a minimum of ten (10) feet of sidewalk must remain clear of all obstructions. (ii) Decorative Paving for Walkways Use decorative paving to enhance pedestrian walkways and paths. Decorative paving is an easy way to improve the appearance of a public walkway. Pavers add color, depth, and pattern and are an effective tool for enhancing the public right-of-way and private pedestrian paths. In addition, the new sidewalk created by the required five (5) foot setback should be compatible with the design of the existing sidewalk. (iii) Entry Plazas Incorporate entry plazas, whenever possible, into building design to encourage public gathering spaces and provide opportunities for community interaction. Plazas should be at least 15% of the building width and should have adequate shade and programmed seating. (iv) Cafe Seating Restaurants and cafes are encouraged to have outdoor dining. Fifty (50) percent of the sidewalk width shall remain unobstructed at all times. 41 The sidewalk is wide enough for cafe seating and pedestrians.

III. Design Standards 3.3 GROUND FLOOR BUILDING FACADE Use richly detailed facades on the ground floor to engage pedestrians. High quality building facades will help establish a lively pedestrian environment in downtown Hollywood. Varied and detailed facades with large windows allow pedestrians to see into stores and window shop. This, in turn, encourages people to walk and congregate. Window sills visually anchor the Vertical window frames break the facade into smaller vertical elements. Operable windows create a lively cafe experience. Blank walls create a stark and bleak pedestrian environment. (i) Fenestration Use large display windows on the ground fl oor of buildings. At least seventy (70) percent of the linear frontage of street level building facades should be pierced by single and double height, transparent windows and main entrances to encourage browsing and window shopping. For the fi rst ten (10) feet of height above the public sidewalk elevation, the exterior building wall shall consist primarily of windows, storefronts, and/or doorways of transparent glass. Refl ective glass is not permitted. Window sills are permitted, but may not exceed thirty (30) inches in height. Frames should be incorporated into larger storefronts to add vertical elements and help differentiate individual retail spaces. Storefront frames should be set back from the building facade. Individual glass panes may be visually broken into smaller panes using vertical metal frames. Entrances should be recessed in storefronts with a distinct frame. Street level restaurants are encouraged to use operable windows and doors which can allow them to open out onto the sidewalks in good weather. (ii) Avoiding Blank Walls Large building facades devoid of windows signifi cantly degrade the quality of the pedestrian environment. Blank walls create a cold and stark environment which can be unsafe and discouraging to pedestrians. Therefore, large, blank surfaces and non-modular panels, such as concrete panels and stucco, are discouraged unless they have a compelling design purpose. This is especially true at the ground fl oor level which requires additional detail and visual amenities. (iii) Entrances Design prominent building entrances. Entries should be articulated with different building materials, changes in building massing, or changes in the roof line that break the facade s regulated surface. This creates a facade hierarchy that articulates entrances. Similarly, entrances should be setback from the primary building frontage at least 6. 42

III. Design Standards Enhanced lighting and signage should also be incorporated in entry designs. Corner entrances should be designed to address street corners. This may include additional building mass, distinctive architectural elements, different building materials, changes in building planes, and changes in building shape. Draw attention to building entrances by breaking the facade and exaggerating the entrance. Large banks of glass doors at main entrances should be used to interrupt blank expanses of building facades. 43

III. Design Standards 4.0 Architectural Integrity Creating places that value good architecture... Hypothetical image of Young Circle. The build-to line requires buildings to follow the curve of Young Circle. Height and mass are shifted towards the Circle. Buildings are setback from the streets to preserve view corridors. The unique spatial quality of downtown and Young Circle should have a corresponding architecture. The middle and tops of buildings in the downtown should be consistent with the building base and augment the street s character through high quality and varied architecture. The building base is the ground fl oor from zero (0) to fi fteen (15) feet of height. The middle is the building podium from fi fteen (15) to fi fty-fi ve (55) feet usually between the second and fi fth story. The building top is anything above the fi rst fi fty-fi ve (55) feet of height. Architectural integrity begins with building form, building facade, articulation, and renovation and restoration. 4.1 BUILDING FORM Urban design is about shaping the space between buildings. Follow the guidelines for building scale and form to shape the space of Young Circle Park. The building envelope for Young Circle was developed to protect the surrounding residential neighborhoods, to reinforce the shape of the Circle, and to preserve the view corridors created by Joseph Young. As a result, building bulk and height must be concentrated towards the Circle using side setbacks and build-to lines. (i) Build-to Line The build-to line is an imaginary line to which buildings must align. In Young Circle buildings must follow the natural curve of the Circle to create a continuous and consistent building edge. This line must be carried through to the top of every building frontage on Young Circle. When the properties surrounding the Circle are built-out, the space inside the Young Circle Park will be more clearly understood as a circular form compared its current seemingly amorphic shape. (ii) Height The CRA District currently permits one hundred-fi fty (150) of height or fi fteen (15) stories. The height is an important component of the building form because it can help shape the spaces between buildings. The space between the buildings on Young Circle--Young Circle Park--is not defined by the surrounding buildings. However, new zoning requirements to push bulk and height towards the Circle will lead to future buildings that can contain the large, circular space between them for a more defi ned and explicit Young Circle Park. (iii) View Corridors Joseph Young planned the City of Hollywood as a series of view corridors. Streets in the CRA District were designed to have views to Young Circle Park. Therefore, all buildings on Young Circle must setback from Federal Highway and Hollywood Boulevard to preserve these views. 44

III. Design Standards Glass and metal frames are combined with painted concrete to create a varied building facade. Repeating elements help minimize the facade s scale. 4.2 BUILDING FACADE Incorporate high quality and varied architecture into the middle and top of building facades. In Young Circle, the architecture is intended to be varied and memorable. Facades should extend the character created at the ground fl oor and should be designed to be perceived from a distance and from up close. Buildings should engage pedestrians from Young Circle Park and opposite sides of the Circle. This may be achieved with varied building materials, scaling elements, shadows, ensuring continuity in building design, and using liner uses or architectural treatments to conceal parking garages. (i) Materials Architects have access to a wide range of building materials to create varied and compatible buildings. Buildings in Young Circle should utilize these materials to achieve a higher standard in facade design. Therefore, creative and innovative high quality building materials are encouraged. Architects should use at least three different materials in each building elevation in addition to some surface relief. This includes metals, perforated materials, glass, and architectural concrete. When used for windows, glass will not be counted as one of three different building materials. Refl ective glass as a complete surface is discouraged. Faux treatments in lieu of the intended material is discouraged. (ii) Scaling Elements Architectural elements should be used to avoid large, interrupted walls, and to minimize the facade s impact. Use vertical repeating elements, such as pilasters, vertical reveals, storefront details, sign design and other three dimensional details on the ground floor. Repeat at least one design resource on the middle and top of buildings such as a material module change, a change in facade plane of at least 6, an architectural ornament, recessed glazing, vertical banding, and/or groupings of windows. In addition, architectural elements or changes in planes may be used to differentiate the ground floor from the middle and top floors. Repeating elements which are monotonous and oppressive should be avoided. (iii) Shadows Shadows give dimension and depth to buildings and highlight building details from a distance. At closer distances, shadows draw attention to public entrances and store windows. Buildings in Young Circle should incorporate shadow into facade design to be viewed both near and far. (iv) Building Continuity All sides of a structure shall be continuous in design. No side shall be unimproved. Therefore, all architectural details, such as roof lines and parapets shall continue around all sides of a structure. Similarly, false architectural features and structures are discouraged unless they are integral to the buildings s design. 45

III. Design Standards Architectural elements should continue around the building s corner. (v) Liner Uses Parking structures facing Young Circle are required to be concealed by habitable space at least twenty-fi ve (25) feet deep. This guarantees that no above ground parking garages will be visible from Young Circle Park to help create an attractive building facade with active, 24-hour uses. This, in turn, brings more eyes on the street and park for a safer and more active pedestrian environment. Liner uses for parking structures are strongly encouraged for Federal Highway as pedestrian activity will likely spill over to this major street. 46 Liner uses conceal parking garages. (vi) Architectural Treatments Architectural treatments for parking structures are required for all streets except Young Circle, which requires liner uses. An architectural treatment is a way to enhance a parking structure s building facade so that it may contribute to the quality of the street while being consistent with the overall building design. Ramps, stairwells and any other portion of a garage should be buffered with the use of decorative grilles and screens, landscaping, pierced surfaces, and other varied materials. This architectural treatment for a parking garage to create a more playful environment.

III. Design Standards Indentations help articulate the building facade. There are a variety of ways to use indentations. 4.3 ARTICULATION Break down a building s mass with architectural features that articulate the building. Articulation is about playing with building form and carving out spaces in the building s facade to break down the building mass. Buildings may be articulated with indentations that break the setback requirement by an allowable percentage, courtyards on the ground fl oor, and terraces that punctuate the building. (i) Indentations Wide building frontages can be scaled down visually by carving out indentations in the facade. The zoning code for the Young Circle Overlay District allows a building facade to break the setback requirement by a set percentage to achieve these indentations. (ii) Courtyards Indentations that continue to the ground fl oor are called courtyards. Like indentations, courtyards are permitted to break the setback requirement by sixty (60) percent. Courtyards create public gathering spaces that are enclosed on three sides to create a comfortable outdoor room. Courtyards are great spaces for cafe tables, public art, fountains, and small performance space. (iii) Balconies/Terraces Terraces are openings in the building facade. Balconies are extensions of the fl oor plate. Both create outdoor rooms with wonderful shadows and help to create textured facades. Refer to the zoning code for information regarding allowable encroachments for balconies. 47 Courtyards break the facade of the building and create opportunities for cafe seating, public art, and public plazas. Terraces add shadow and dimension to this building facade.

III. Design Standards Historic structures Additions to historic buildings should be discreet and barely visible from the A corner window has been converted to a store entrance 4.4 RENOVATIONS & RESTORATION Preserve historic architectural features on building facades. The historic buildings in Downtown Hollywood are the main contributing elements to the downtown s unique and energetic character. Historic Hollywood Boulevard is the most active part of downtown mainly because of its historic and authentic buildings which provide great retail and commercial space and the intimate scale of the street. The historic architectural features that make these buildings special should be preserved, but reasonable improvements and alterations may be made to historic buildings to make them more suitable for modern uses. (i) Alterations and Additions to Historic Structures Preserve and enhance facades of historically designated buildings. The Joint Development Review Board should refer to the City s guidelines for historic districts and the U.S. Secretary of Interior s Standards for Historic Preservation to ensure that new construction does not destroy the original intent of historic buildings. Alterations to the ground floor of historic buildings is strongly discouraged. Additions to historic buildings should be discreet and should be barely visible from the opposite side of the street. New zoning changes recommend that second story additions be setback from the street at least fi fty (50) feet, to preserve the scale and character of the Historic section of Hollywood Boulevard. (ii) Adaptive Reuse There are many strategies for adapting historic buildings for modern uses while preserving the building facade. Ground fl oor windows may be converted to store entrances. Use awnings to provide additional shade. When fl oor to ceiling heights in historic buildings are too low for loft, retail, or office conversions, make fl oors double height. Preserve upper story windows in double height fl oors. Use creative signage to create a distinct image. (iii) Character Defining Features Preserve character defining features on historic building facades. Do not cover original building features. Remove elements that are alterations to the original design to recover original features such as bay windows, columns, cornices, eyebrows, pilasters, geometric patterns, racing stripe banding, radio tower-like spires, portholes, and deck railings. 48 Historic entrances are examples of defi ning features.

III. Design Standards 5.0 Signage Communicating with pedestrians with clear signage... 5.1 PERMITTED SIGNS Follow the City s sign regulations to achieve clear and attractive signs in the downtown. Channel letters may be applied to wall signs. Channel letters are a clear and clean method of displaying signs. Awning signs. Projecting and hanging signs can be a playful approach to signage. (i) General Requirements Downtown Hollywood allows primary signs and secondary signs. Only one primary sign is permitted for each ground floor tenant. This can be either a wall sign or an awning sign. Secondary signs include projecting and hanging signs, neon window signs, and parapet signs for multiple story buildings. No signs should be placed in the public right-of-way or on the required fi ve foot front setback. In general, signs should be proportional to the building s scale. They should also be legible at the pedestrian level and convey basic information. A minimal number of signs shall be used to avoid a cluttered appearance, however, a combination of large and small scale signs may be used as specifi ed below. For specifi c sign regulations, please refer to 8.5 part B section 8 in the City s zoning code. (ii) Primary Signs Wall signs offer a traditional approach to storefront signage. Rectangular signs are mounted to walls directly above the store entry, in the storefront frame, or above the awning. Three dimensional channel letters may be individually fixed to storefronts as a type of wall sign. Channel letters may be raised from the building facade to create shadow. Wall signs should use contrasting colors so that the information on the sign is legible. Additionally, lettering shall be in script or stylized. Awning signs are stylized letters placed directly on the awning. They offer an alternative way to display information in a clear and colorful manner. (iii) Secondary Signs Projecting signs are particularly appropriate for pedestrians and can be individual to each store. They offer a whimsical approach to signage. Projecting signs should hang down from arcade ceilings or project out from building walls between awnings and mounted to decorative, fixed, metal arms. Use simple, geometric shapes, such as ovals and squares, when designing projecting signs. Signs shall have minimal lettering. They may include store logos to enhance pedestrian navigation. Neon window signs should be used for nighttime commercial uses. Hollywood permits this type of sign for business names and logos only. They may not be used to advertise a particular product. Parapet signs are placed on the buildings parapet for multi-story buildings only. The sign may announce the name of the major building tenant or the name of the building. As a secondary sign, parapet signs provide limited information and are designed to be seen from afar. 49

III. Design Standards 5.2 LIGHTING Use lighting to accent important features such as signs, architecture, and storefronts. Example of lighting storefront signs. (i) Lighting for Signs Channel lettering may be backlit with fl orescent tubes or neon. Incandescent, decorative spotlights may be placed at intervals above channel lettering signs. In addition, lights may be placed inside channel letters. Fluorescent lights are a good choice because they provide strong even light. However, fl orescent lights should always be concealed with a valance. Use incandescent spotlights for projecting signs. Example of architectural lighting. Example of storefront lighting. (ii) Architectural Lighting Light buildings at night to create shadows and depth and highlight important architectural elements and building materials such as colored glass and perforated metal. Whenever possible, light second story windows to imply human presence and counter the appearance of desertion. Use decorative lighting to illuminate signs and uplighting to illuminate landscaping. Glare shields should be used to reduce light spillover into pedestrian and vehicular areas. Use sconces and other architectural lighting to illuminate building entrances with warm light. (iii) Storefront Lighting Illuminate signs, entrances, window displays and interiors at varying levels of brightness. 50
