REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS • Create a Zoning Compliance Period: Change the zoning to ensure compliance within a 5/10-year period for those issues that are having a negative impact on the gateway, including parking lot renovations that bring the lot into compliance with buffers or vehicular setbacks, landscaping and lighting requirements, etc. • Provide Flexible Parking Regulations for Development of Outparcels: New uses on outparcels will update the character of the site and should be encouraged. 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. IDENTITY & BRAND RECOMMENDATIONS • Marketing Packets for Sunrise Boulevard Gateway can Mention University Drive: Highlight that this area is also part of the strategic area of focus to access the Village Center.
