Seems like you’re looking for an American ipa but with an elevated hop character without the bitterness.

Your recipe looks ok but I would just make a few changes to help you meet your goal

Eliminate the m.o. and replace it with an equal amount of 2 row. I’d also eliminate the crystal and replace it with 0.5lb of honey malt. Your making a hop forward beer so you really won’t perceive any of the mo character anyway and honey malt will add a touch of sweetness without that strong Caramel note the crystals give.

Then I’d up the magnum to .75-1oz and push all your other boil additions to a 160*f hop stand for 40 mins. This will keep your ibus near your target but help you hold on to more of the aroma and flavor compounds in your hops. Will make more a juicer beer

A24 is not the yeast to use if you want clear beer.

I’d suggest regular ol’ Chico or maybe 1272 if you want some more “character”.

Move all hops to WP and heavily dry hop it with juicy hops.

Why baking soda?

Seems like a waste to use MO and crystal. MO is flavorful but you probably won't taste it with 1lb of crystal in your grist. I would replace with cheaper 2-row and save it for another brew. Personally I would cut way back on the crystal if you're trying to get 'hop juiciness' to come through
