ACTIVITIES RECOMMENDATIONS • No activities need to be planned per se in addition to those planned under the Commercial Center recommendations. Add information to any promotional materials handed out at events or gatherings that show what the larger vision is. REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS • Consider a Zoning in Progress: This is needed to limit undesirable and incompatible uses that don’t meet the goal of a mixed use district such as gas stations, standalone single uses, convenience stores, check cashing stores, etc. Mixed-use zoning should ensure people move through an area visiting multiple spaces, and should promote walkability and accessibility between parcels and areas. Uses that are single use destinations such as grocers or banks can on a limited basis, be integrated into a larger project. • Consider Creating a Zoning District that Provides Density Bonuses: A density bonus for these two gateway sites could be used to prompt a larger scale, mixed-use project to attract residential uses above commercial, restaurants and retail. A concerted effort to have a brewery on the ground floor is recommended. • Create an Incentive Program that Supports a P3 Concept: Such Public Private Partnerships enable the city to provide public support including but not limited to: parking structures, right of way improvements, land assemblage assistance or monetary assistance to facilitate a certain type of development. MOBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS • Continue to position Sunset Strip as a Complete Street: Use textured/colored pavers or similar notable treatments in the crosswalks at each gateway. • Add Exit-Wayfinding Signage at Each Gateway: Signs should point visitors to nearby expressways including the Florida Turnpike, Sawgrass Express way, I-95, or I-75. They should be easily visible at night. • Consider Street Name Signs That are Architecturally Significant: Ensure Sunset Strip signs along Sunrise Boulevard and University Drive are lighted and placed on both sides of the intersection.
