RFP 11-46 WBSH Overlay District
The final WBSH Overlay District will utilize the final Master Plan report and Visual Preference Survey to identify architectural styles and standards as well as, architectural design elements, materials and lighting requirements. The consultant shall utilize the existing Visual Preference Survey previously created by AECOM for the WBSH Master Plan as a starting point to identify the WBSH Scenic Highway architectural styles /themes. Once the WBSH Corridor Management Council (CMC) members determine the acceptable architectural styles/ themes, a series of public participation / charrettes will be held. Such architectural public participation / charrettes workshops shall be held with members of the WSBH organization, the citizens of the CR 210 Community Alliance and any other members of the St. Johns County public that are interested in this project.
Once the architectural styles/ themes are established the consultant will be working with the WBSH - CMC members. The consultant shall discuss the existing St. Johns County Land Development Regulations (LDR) related to the scenic highway. Such LDRs include but are not limited to: existing tree protection, northwest scenic edges, northwest recreational trails location within scenic edge, landscaping criteria, buffers, setbacks, the use of walls and fences, parking and signage as these regulations specifically relate to the state designated portion of SR 13, know as William Bartram Scenic & Historic Highway (WBSH). The consultant will discuss the potential modifications to the existing county regulations, as well as discuss any new regulations that are needed to further preserve, protect and maintain the WBSH intrinsic resources. With the feedback obtained from the WBSH - CMC organization, the consultant shall create a comprehensive draft Overlay District for the WBSH. Once WBSH Overlay District is completed a series of public workshops will be held to solicit feedback. The public's feedback will be included into the newly created comprehensive WBSH Overlay District as appropriate prior to presenting this information to the Planning and Zoning Agency (PZA) and the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
The entire project will be completed within a maximum period of one (1) year.
