Project Overview

---

Coconut Creek is widely recognized as a well-planned community with a unique environmental consciousness. The City has a progressive planning approach to creating a unique life-style for its residents and businesses with beautiful parks, the development of a greenways program, and certification as a Community Wildlife Habitat. It is this environmentally consciousness and progressive planning approach that has lead the City to desire a sustainable, centralized downtown area that can serve as the heart of the community, providing for a unique lifestyle for residents and businesses. A place to live, work, shop, and play.

In December 2004, the City Commission adopted the MainStreet Design Standards document, which establishes the vision for a mixed-use, downtown development in the center of Coconut Creek, bound by Wiles Road to the north, Lyons Road to the east, Sample Road to the south, and State Road 7 to the west. The intent of this document is to provide for the development of a sustainable, mixed-use downtown environment that embodies the distinctiveness of Coconut Creek and will serve as a local and regional destination. The document promotes the development of a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use community, organized around substantial, centralized and contiguous recreational open space. The efficient development of land resources, compact development with a variety of housing choices, flexibility in use and design, alternative transportation options, and green building techniques are fundamental criteria of the development.

In support of the City’s progressive environmental consciousness, the document requires all buildings to be “green and sustainable”, and be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council or the Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc. This progressive planning requirement was developed to showcase architecture that is based on function rather than style. The City’s goal is to be the first City in the State and perhaps the Country, to have a contiguous certified green building project. This effort has been recognized by the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association (FAPA), which granted the "MainStreet Design Standards" an Award of Excellence in planning for the project’s innovation, transferability, quality, implementation, and comprehensiveness.

With an ambitious development program of over a million square feet of commercial development, 2,700 residential units, 1,300 hotel rooms, 300,000 square feet of community facilities, large open space and recreation components, and 15 acres of conservation, the MainStreet/Creek Commons area will definitely become a destination in Broward County.
