Amendments to the text of the land development regulations or to the schedules adopted and incorporated by reference herein shall be made only by ordinance duly adopted in the manner prescribed by law for the adoption of ordinances by the city commission, provided that no proposed ordinance amending such text or the schedules shall be adopted by the city commission until the proposed amendment has been referred to the planning and zoning commission for review and recommendation as to the relationship of such proposal to the city's Comprehensive Plan or appropriate elements or portions thereof, provided further, that if the planning and zoning commission fails to make a recommendation respecting such proposed amendment within two months after the time of reference, then the city commission may act upon the proposed amendment.

The zoning district map may be amended from time to change the zoning districts within the incorporated area of the city in accordance with the following procedures:

A.

Origination of proposed amendments. Proposed amendments to the zoning district map changing the zoning district within the incorporated area of the City of Sanford, Florida, may originate by resolution of the city commission, the planning and zoning commission or by application of the owners of 51 percent or more of the land area involved in the proposed change.

Proposals originating with the city commission or the planning and zoning commission must be reflected in an appropriate resolution of the originating body and a copy of such resolution, upon adoption, shall be filed with the administrative official.

Proposals originating with the owners of 51 percent or more of the land area involved in the proposed change shall be in the form of an application required and provided by the administrative official and shall be submitted to the administrative official together with the fee established in the manner prescribed in this ordinance. Such application shall be signed by the owners of 51 percent or more of the land area involved in the proposed change and described in the application or by the authorized agent of such owner or owners. Written authority authorizing a person other than the property owner to sign an application shall be attached to such application.

B.

Referral to the planning and zoning commission. Any proposal for amendment to the zoning district map pursuant to the [this] section shall, upon receipt by the administrative official, be referred to the planning and zoning commission for consideration and the formulation of a recommendation to the city commission.

C.

Hearing by planning and zoning commission. Upon receipt of an application for amendment to the zoning district map pursuant to this section and reference thereof to the planning and zoning commission, the administrative official shall, upon notification by the chairman of the planning and zoning commission of the date fixed for a hearing, cause notices of the time, place and purpose of a hearing upon the application to be published, mailed and posted in the manner provided in section 3.8.D of the land development regulations. At the time and date established by such notice, the planning and zoning commission shall conduct a hearing upon the application in the manner provided by section 3.8.E and F of the land development regulations and, shall recommend adoption or denial of the application to the city commission provided, however, that in the case of a proposed planned development project plan, the planning and zoning commission shall recommend adoption, adoption with modifications and/or conditions or denial of the application to the city commission.

D.

Action by city commission. Following hearing by the planning and zoning commission, the administrative official shall submit the proposed amendment to the zoning district map, with the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission, to the city commission for consideration. No proposal to amend the zoning district map shall be permitted to be withdrawn by the applicant from and after the date on which the planning and zoning commission makes its recommendation to the city commission regarding such proposed amendment.

The city commission shall consider and act upon such application and the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission in the manner prescribed by law for the adoption of ordinances by the city commission and thereafter adopt or refuse to adopt such proposed amendment.

In acting upon a proposal to amend the zoning district map, the city commission may approve a more restrictive zoning designation than the designation proposed in the application including, but not limited to, the planned development zoning classification.

E.

Development order required for zoning map amendment with planned development project. The zoning map shall be amended by ordinance executed by the city commission which shall grant the application for an amendment. In addition, all zoning map amendments which include planned development projects shall be approved by a written development order in the form specified in section 3.12.E.

F.

Special requirements respecting amendment to zoning district. No amendment to change the zoning district of a specific parcel of land to a zoning district different from the zoning district of adjoining property shall be adopted unless the specific parcel of land involved in the proposed change has 75 feet or more of street frontage and 10,000 square feet or more of land area, provided however, that the zoning map may be amended so that a parcel of land may be added to an existing adjacent zoning district regardless of the size of the parcel or its street frontage.

G.

Finality of decision. Whenever the city commission has taken action to deny a proposed amendment to the zoning district map originating upon application of the owners of 51 percent or more of the property involved in the proposed change, unless such denial is specifically without prejudice to reapplication, no other application by the owners of such land for amendment to the zoning district map respecting such land shall be accepted by the administrative official for consideration by the planning and zoning commission or city commission for a period of one year from the date of the action denying the proposed amendment provided, however, that an applicant may request and the city commission may waive the provisions of this section for proper cause after hearing in conformity with the provisions of section 3.8.G.

Approval of planned development project plans shall constitute and thereby require an amendment to the zoning district map. The procedure for review of planned development project plans shall be as follows:

G.

Approval of proposed planned development project plans; extension of time limits. The city commission may prescribe in the order respecting a proposed planned development project plan any reasonable conditions, limitations or requirements including, but not limited to, requirements in excess of those otherwise required by the land development regulations, as a condition to approval of such proposed planned development project plan. The city commission may specify, in an order approving a proposed planned development project plan, specific time limits within which all or specified portions of the development contemplated thereby shall be started or completed. Only the city commission shall have the authority to grant a time extension to an approval with specified time limits. Such extension shall not exceed six months and shall be granted only within the original period of validity.

Expiration of specified time limits. If a specific time limit prescribed in an approved planned development project plan or order extending the time prescribed in an approved planned development project plan expires without compliance with such order, the action of the city commission approving the planned development project plan shall be automatically rescinded without city commission action and the zoning classification shall revert to the prior classification.

J.

Amendment to planned development project plan. If, after approval of a planned development project plan pursuant to the provisions of this section the owner of any property reflected on such approved planned development project plan applies to amend the same, application for approval of such amendment shall be filed and acted upon in the same manner as herein prescribed for original applications for approval of planned development project plans.

K.

The city shall coordinate with the ECFRPC in meeting regional policies contained in the regional comprehensive policies plan.

L.

Concurrency management. No planned development project shall be approved for a proposed development until there is a finding that all public facilities and services have sufficient capacity at or above their adopted level of service (LOS) to accommodate the impacts of the development including, but not limited to, traffic impacts, or that improvements necessary to bring facilities up to their adopted LOS will be in place concurrent with the impacts of the development, as defined in Schedule Q, Concurrency Management.

A master plan covering the entire parcel proposed for development shall be required prior to, or in conjunction with, a site plan which covers only a portion of the entire parcel proposed for development provided however, that the requirements of this section shall not apply to approved planned development project plans covering the same parcel in question. The procedure for submission, review and approval of a master plan required by this article shall be the same as required for a site plan as set forth in section 5.3. One copy of the master plan shall, when approved, be signed and dated by the chairman of the planning and zoning commission. The approved and signed master plan shall then be filed in the office of the administrative official and shall constitute the basis for preparation and submittal of future site plans for the parcel in question. No site development permit and/or certificate of completion shall be issued on the basis of an approved master plan until a site plan for the specific land and/or water area in question has been approved and filed in the office of the administrative official.

The city shall require that development applications be coordinated, as appropriate, with the City of Lake Mary, Seminole County, the Seminole County School Board, other special districts, the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC), the St. Johns River Water Management District, as well as applicable state and federal agencies prior to issuance of a development order or permit.
