MOBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS • Invest in Infrastructure Improvements: Add additional shade trees (carefully coordinated with lighting), and add flowers and flowering shrubs at key points in the right of way (R.O.W.). • Create a Safe Routes to School Plan: Consider improvements that will promote and highlight the safety of students walking and biking to school, and promote the route as a quality of life element for the area. • Increase Bike Presence: Explore a bike share program for the area and add more bicycle racks. Create better bike connections to the Village Center along both NW 64th and 68th Avenues. • Consider a Pedestrian Bridge across the Canal: Connect to the current PPG site when the site is redeveloped. • Explore Shared Parking Arrangements: Explore options with area institutions including churches and schools. Consider entering into a short or long term lease arrangement for a nominal fee to provide public parking for events and activities held on Sunset Strip. • Explore a Local Transit Route: Transit ridership may increase over time, so consider a shared route along Sunset Strip between University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard with a frequency of no more than 15 minutes and stops at the Village Center, Commercial Center, and both major gateways. Consider drawing residents from Sunrise Lakes and Waterbridge communities.
REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS • Create Form Based Code: Create a form-based code (FBC) to dictate building placement to street edge, neighborhood buffers, architectural character, signage, parking, and landscaping, particularly on the north side of Sunset Strip between NW 70th and NW 64thAvenues. Allow for mixed use. • Create Cohesive Design Guidelines that are Graphically Depicted: Facades, business signage, lighting, and landscaping. Connect disparate plazas visually as a single location with color. Include distinctive architectural features (e.g. Caribbean) • Include CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design): Require enhanced CPTED design review for public and private projects. • Regulate Trash: In addition to new dumpster program, consider a trash compactor program. They are more conducive to retail areas.
