ECONOMIC VIABILITY


October 21, 2014

Objective

To create a renowned wildlife refuge and provide a framework for the development of a world-class district focused on education, research, commerce and coastal recreation related to agriculture and sustainability.


October 21, 2014

23

A Balance of Uses – The Ormond Beach district will feature large-scale protected habitat with synergistic commercial and educational uses. A Compatible, Synergistic Mix of Commercial and Educational Uses -The mix of uses must support the overall project objectives both in concept and economic viability. Uses that are not preserved open space should take advantage of the project’s coastal, open space environment and complement the overall project vision. Each land use should benefit from the surrounding project elements and help reinforce the project’s overall identity and economic viability. Adjacent properties may include additional commercial, a creative office campus, adaptive reuse of industrial space, additional education and research facilities and a sustainable residential community. Context Creates Value – Take a district-wide approach to master planning, zoning for compatible uses on adjacent parcels and aggressively remediating specific existing conditions

Guiding Principles


October 21, 2014

24

Design for Flexible Phasing of Development – The project will develop over time and the opportunities and potential of the site and district will evolve. Investment as Catalyst – Strategic investments can create momentum. University of California and other institutions can help define the project and attract additional investment. Capital Projects Strategic Considerations – All strategies to maximize this opportunity to create and capture value must be evaluated through the lens of benefit/cost and financial feasibility • Catalyst Projects • Leverage Points • Required Investment Thresholds • Increments / Phasing • Options • Risks
