Section A Overview
These development guidelines, together with the conceptual plan and design guidelines, comprise the conceptual development plan required by Chapter 1268 for the Brunswick Town Center Special Planning District Number 2 (SPD-2). As such, the conceptual development plan is the zoning and development requirements for the 146-acre Brunswick Town Center SPD-2 area, as specified by Section 1268.04 of the Zoning Code. All provisions of Part Twelve of the Brunswick Codified Ordinances remain applicable to SPD-2, unless clearly indicated to the contrary in the conceptual development plan.
Section B Purpose
The purpose of the Brunswick Town Center Special Planning District is to create a zoning district designed to accommodate a mixed use, pedestrian-oriented town center that includes both privately- and publicly-owned land. More particular purposes for creating SPD-2 are as follows:
(1) To allow development of a mix of retail, office, service, public, residential and related uses, as well as major public open spaces that together will function as a focal point, gathering place and town center for the entire Brunswick community.
(2) To create an opportunity for flexible and innovative site design based on traditional town planning principles.
(3) To preserve Brunswick Lake as an essential component of the town center, along with the associated major wetlands and stream corridors near the lake. These are areas with substantial natural characteristics that are worthy of preservation as public open space.
Section C Conceptual Plan
The plan titled "Brunswick, Ohio Conceptual Master Plan" and dated June 27, 2002, which is attached to and made a part of the conceptual development plan, shall be the conceptual plan for SPD-2 as required by Section 1268.04(a) of the Zoning Code. The conceptual plan, which is a framework for preparing more detailed site and subdivision plans, shows representative footprints for individual buildings. As specific tenants and building owners make commitments to the project, building shapes will be adjusted to meet their particular needs.
Section D Development Guidelines
(1) Guidelines. The document titled "Brunswick Town Center Special Planning District Number 2" and dated June 27, 2002, which is attached to and made a part of the conceptual development plan, shall be the development guidelines for SPD-2 as required by Section 1268.04(b) of the Zoning Code. The development guidelines list permitted and accessory uses within five separate subdistricts, as envisioned by Section 1268.04(c) of the Zoning Code. Boundaries of the five subdistricts are depicted on the conceptual plan.
(2) Effect. The Development Guidelines adopted in (1) above, in conjunction with the Conceptual Plan, shall be the zoning regulations for the SPD-2 area. The Conceptual Development Plan, consisting of the Conceptual Plan and the Development Guidelines, shall supersede provisions to the contrary in the Zoning Code.
Section E Common Open Space Disposition
Common open space within SPD-2 shall be subject to the provisions in Section 1284.08, regarding legal instruments, phasing and park fee requirements.
Section F Supplemental Requirements
(1) Planning Commission Modification. The Planning Commission may modify the strict requirements of the development guidelines if it finds that privacy, light and openness are improved because of skillful design in the arrangement of buildings, open spaces, landscaping or other site features. The Commission may require wider yards, where an adjoining building is near a lot line, and may require such features as fences and plantings to protect adjoining residences. The Commission may approve minor shifts in the boundaries between the five subdistricts.
(2) Site Plan Review. Site plans shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission for conformity with the Conceptual Development Plan. Site plans shall be submitted and reviewed for each development site within SPD-2 as required by Chapter 1278, except that site plans for the Southwest and Peninsula neighborhoods may be submitted for each development phase. For site plans which fully comply with the Conceptual Development Plan, the discussion plan stage in Section 1278.03(b) and the Council review stage in Section 1278.03(f) are not required.
(3) Subdivision Regulations. The Brunswick Subdivision regulations shall apply to SPD-2, unless provisions in the Conceptual Development Plan clearly indicate to the contrary. Subdivision improvements to be financed through an assessment procedure after petitioning by 100% of the property owners shall be exempt from the financial guarantee normally required as part of the construction agreement in Section 1230.04 of the Subdivision Regulations.
