1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Summary

The City is seeking Qualification Statements from interested Firms registered in the State of Florida to provide professional designs for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to be featured on the City of Orlando website. The goal is to provide a library of pre-designed

ADU plans to ease the design process for property owners and encourage ADUs within allowable zoning districts. Interested parties will be able to contact firms directly to select the design and enter into a purchase contract.

Selected design plans will be pre-approved to create master files* in the City Permitting

Office to streamline the administrative regulatory process associated with permitting an

ADU. This solicitation is one component of an overall plan to create an incentive program to encourage the construction of ADUs within the City of Orlando. Respondents which are business organizations must be filed with and registered in the State of Florida to provide Design Services pursuant to Section 471.023 of the Florida Statutes as of the due date for submission of Qualification Statements.

* Master Files are designs that are pre-approved by Permitting and will not have to have other Permitting approvals unless the designs are altered.

3.2. Accessory Dwelling Units Design Guidelines and Requirements

Accessory Dwelling Units Design and Appearance Review Goals

• Feature innovative ways to reduce initial building costs and future maintenance costs.

• Provide a long-lasting, durable and leak-free exterior building envelope

• Provide higher interior air quality

• Reduce long term operating costs

• Provide a design that is compatible with the existing primary structure and neighborhood.

• Must comply with City Code 58.501

• Must meet the minimum requirements of the Florida Building Code

• Accessory Dwelling Units [ADUs] must be designed to appear to be part of a one-family dwelling unit. An ADU structure must have the same exterior finish as the principal structure on the same building site and must emulate the architectural style and details of the principal structure in its design. Examples of similar architectural details include, but are not limited to, windows, doors, roof style, cornice detailing, vents, gables, and dormers.

• An Appearance Review is required prior to approval of building permits. As an alternative to emulating the architecture and finish materials of the principal structure, an alternative design may be approved by the Appearance Review Official (in consultation with the Planning Official) when evidence is provided that demonstrates the architecture of the ADU complements the primary structure and will not be out of character with the surrounding neighborhood. [Sec.

58.501]

The following additional design details should also be considered when emulating the principal structure:

1. Architectural banding, trim, or cornice detail

2. Window trim, the number of mullions or muntins, or shutters

3. Window size and placement

4. A covered entryway or front porch design

5. Building projections and recesses

6. Decorative roofline elements such as brackets or exposed rafter tails

7. Façade articulation such as bay windows or dormers

8. Exterior color and material

9. One and two-story units

10. Other generally accepted architectural elements, as determined appropriate by the Appearance Review Officer

3.3. Compatibility

The Appearance Review Official will consider the following factors when evaluating the compatibility of ADU’s with the principal structure and the surrounding neighborhood:

1. Logic of overall design

2. Compliance with the traditional city standards and requirements for residential development in Section 62.600, of the Land Development Code [LDC].

3. Compatibility with adjacent land uses

4. Features of existing development and neighborhood form

3.4. Sec. 58.501. Design Standards for Accessory Dwelling Units.

Accessory dwelling units shall conform to all of the general requirements for accessory uses set forth in Part 5 of Chapter 58, the zoning district and use regulations set forth in Figures 1-2, and the following requirements:

A. Location and Number.

1. In the O-1 and O-2 zoning districts, only one accessory dwelling unit is permitted on any single family residential building site or an on-site office site, providing it meets the minimum development standards for area shown in the table below.

2. In the R-2A zoning district, a maximum of two units (a duplex or tandem development) are allowed per Building Site. Accessory Dwelling Units are prohibited on any building site in the R-2A zoning district where there is an existing duplex or tandem dwelling, or in connection with any new duplex or tandem dwelling development.

3. In the R-2B zoning district, multifamily development (to include ADUs) is permitted if in compliance with Part 3H of Chapter 58.

4. Conversion to tandem dwelling. On any building site in an R-2A or R-2B district, any new accessory dwelling over 500 sq. ft. and built in connection with a one family dwelling must conform to the standards for tandem dwellings in Part 3C of this Chapter. An existing or new accessory dwelling unit may not be split into a separate lot for purposes of creating a tandem dwelling unless the tandem dwelling standards are met.

5. Development Standards for ADUs. The following are the development standards for all ADUs.

* All accessory dwelling units must be smaller than the principal structure. Also, see

"Lots of Record" subpart below for ADUs on non-conforming lots of record.

† For ADUs in Historic Preservation districts, refer to Sec. 62.706.

** Must comply with Tandem Code - Part 3C of Chapter 58

A. Maximum Floor Area. Unless limited elsewhere in this Chapter, the maximum floor area ratio for the single family unit plus the ADU cannot exceed 0.50 Floor

Area Ratio or the maximum FAR of the principal structure of the zoning district whichever is less. No ADU may be larger than 1,000 sq. ft.

B. Setbacks. Subject to Modification of Standards (see Sec. 65.302(9)), the setbacks for accessory dwelling units are as follows:

(ADUs that are greater than 500 sq. ft. in all R-2, R-3, MXD, and in Office districts must comply with the setbacks of tandem development - See Part 3C of Chapter 58).

C. Appearance. ADUs must be designed to appear to be part of a one family dwelling unit. An ADU structure must have the same exterior finish as the principal structure on the same building site and must emulate the architectural style and details of the principal structure into its design. Examples of similar architectural details include, but are not limited to, windows, doors, roof style, cornice detailing, vents, and dormers. An Appearance Review is required prior to approval of building permits. As an alternative to emulating the architecture and finish materials of the principal structure, such design may be approved by the

Appearance Review Official (in consultation with the Planning Official) when evidence is provided that demonstrates the architecture of the ADU complements the primary structure and will not be out of character with the surrounding neighborhood.

D. Building Code. Must comply with the Florida Building Code as well as Section

30A.24 of the City Code.

E. Parking.

1. Principal Structure - Each building site must have one parking space and driveway that complied with the Land Development Code at the time the principal structure was constructed.
