The City of Winter Springs seeks to create a town center based upon traditional standards for city building.

In February, 1998 the City of Winter Springs created a plan for the town center through a design session involving the community and a team of design professionals. This division is based on that plan. Traditional urban design conventions have been applied to create a palette of squares, parks, and street types that form the framework for the town center.

On August 1, 2011, city staff and a representative from Dover-Kohl and Partners presented a workshop to the city commission regarding the future direction of the town center. As a result of this workshop, the city commission directed staff to prepare revisions to the Town Center Code that would incorporate the ideas of the transect into the Town Center District Code. The transect categorizes settlement patterns into "zones" that range from areas with a very rural character to a very urban character.

Review standards for the town center are derived from a number of sources in planning literature. Where approvals, interpretations and judgments are left to the discretion of city officials, these officials shall use the following texts for guidance as to best practices:

(b)

This division repeals the Town Center Overlay Zoning District Regulations of June 9, 1997 (Ordinance No. 661) and September 8, 1997 (Ordinance No. 676). Should any conflict arise between the provisions of this division and other local land development regulations for the City of Winter Springs, the provisions of this division shall apply. To the extent that this division is silent where other codes govern, they shall apply.

Interpretation of the standards. The images contained in this division are meant to demonstrate the character intended for the town center and shall be the guide for future development, but are for illustrative purposes only. The accompanying text and numbers are rules that govern permitted development.

(b)

In the town center district, decorative street signs are required along roadways as part of the decorative street sign and light program for new development including: subdivisions, commercial development and areas constructed for public use. Standards for the town center district follow the same guidelines as street signage that is upgraded in all other areas of the city. In addition, the city requires that decorative street lights be provided for all development within the town center district. During the development review process, it will be determined by the city whether or not the user or developer of a property within the town center may need to enter into a neighborhood street sign light improvement agreement (NSSLIA) as part of the respective development agreement.

Transect means a cross-section of the environment showing a range of different habitats. The rural-urban transect of the human environment used in this Code is divided into six (6) transect zones. These zones describe the physical form and character of a place, according to the density and intensity of its land and urbanism.

Transect zone (T-zone) means one of several areas on a zoning map regulated by this Code. Transect zones are administratively similar to the land use zones in conventional codes, except that in addition to the usual building use, density, height, and setback requirements, other elements of the intended habitat are integrated, including those of the private lot and building and public frontage.

T1 (natural zone). This zone consists of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.

T2 (rural zone). This zone consists of sparsely settled lands in an open or cultivated state. These can include agricultural lands. Typical buildings are farmhouses, agricultural buildings, cabins, and villas.

T3 (suburban zone). This zone consists of the least dense residential areas, adjacent to higher density zones within the town center that include some mixed-use. Home occupations and accessory dwelling units (ADU) are allowed. Planting is naturalistic and setbacks are relatively deep. Blocks may be large and the roads irregular to accommodate natural conditions. This zone is intended to provide a transition to and incorporation with existing lower density residential areas that are adjacent to the town center district.

T4 (general urban zone). This zone consists of mixed-use but primarily residential urban fabric. This zone may have a wide range of building types, both residential and commercial in nature. Setbacks and landscaping are variable. This zone is typically residential but is more urban and compact than the suburban zone, and is located closer to core of the town center. Corner stores may also be found in this zone.

T5 (urban center zone). The T5 urban center zone comprises the core of the town center and is synonymous with the city's urban central business district. It shall consist of a higher intensity mix of uses that include retail, offices, and residential. T5 areas typically have fairly small blocks with wide sidewalks, regularly-spaced tree planting, and buildings set close to the street.

Valance means the portion of an awning that hangs perpendicular to the sidewalk.

Window sign means a sign placed or painted on the interior of a shopfront window or the window of a business door.

Yard sign means a permanent freestanding sign in the private frontage, including a supporting post or posts.

Main Street (Tuscawilla Road): Winter Springs Town Center

(Ord. No. 2012-06, § 2, 3-12-12; Ord. No. 2014-09, § 2, 4-28-14; Ord. No. 2016-07, § 2, 4-11-16; Ord. No. 2016-07, § 2(Exh. A), 4-11-16; Ord. No. 2019-09, § 3(Exh. A), 6-10-19; Ord. No. 2022-04, § 2, 12-12-22; Ord. No. 2025-09, § 2, 5-12-25)

The following general provisions apply to all street types.

(1)

Corner radii and clear zones. Corner curb radii shall be between nine (9) feet and fifteen (15) feet, with the following permitted exceptions: 1) where a curb radius must be larger in order to meet the minimum requirements to obtain a required permit from another agency (FDOT, Seminole County, etc.); and 2) where the fire marshal has determined that a larger curb radius must be provided. Fairly tight turning radii shorten pedestrian crossings and inhibit reckless drivers from turning corners at high speeds. To allow for emergency vehicles (e.g., fire trucks) to turn corners, a twenty-five-foot radius clear zone shall be established free of all vertical obstructions including but not limited to telephone poles, sign poles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, or newspaper boxes.

(2)

Alleys. Alleys are required in the T4 and T5 zones of the town center to minimize curb cuts and to provide access to parking and service areas behind buildings. Alleys are not required in the T3 zone in cases when lot widths are greater than fifty (50) feet. In these cases, a front-loaded garage can be utilized, provided it is setback at least twenty (20) feet behind the principle plane of the primary building. Alley locations and dimensions are not fixed but shall be designed to accommodate the alley's purpose. Additional curb cuts shall be added only with the permission of the development review committee. Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as drive aisles and fire lanes. In general alleys are intended to accommodate services including but not limited to parking, trash pickup, loading docks, and drive-throughs.

(3)

Exceptions from build-to lines (front setbacks). Exceptions from build-to lines as noted in each transect zone may be granted by the development review committee for avoiding trees with diameter breast height (dbh) greater than eight (8) inches.

On corner sites (within fifty (50) feet of the corner) with build-to lines set back from the property line, building frontage may be positioned forward of the build-to line up to the property line, provided it does not encroach upon the clear zone.

(4)

Diversity of building widths. No more than three (3) detached residential buildings twenty (20) feet or less in width are permitted within any two hundred (200) feet of frontage.

(5)

Accessory structures. Accessory structures are permitted and may contain parking, accessory dwelling units, home occupation uses, storage space, and trash receptacles. Home occupation uses are restricted to owner plus one (1) employee, shall not include noxious or disruptive functions, and may not disrupt parking for neighboring residents. Accessory structures shall not be greater than six hundred twenty-five (625) square feet in footprint and shall not exceed two (2) stories in height.

(6)

Drive-throughs. Drive-through service windows are only permitted in the rear in and alley accessed locations provided they do not substantially disrupt pedestrian activity or surrounding uses.

(7)

Civic sites. Civic buildings and sites contain uses of special public importance. Civic buildings include, but are not limited to, municipal buildings, churches, libraries, schools, daycare centers, recreation facilities, and places of assembly. Civic buildings do not include retail buildings, residential buildings, or privately owned office buildings. In order to provide greater flexibility to create a special architectural statement, civic buildings are not subject to build-to line requirements or building frontage requirements. Civic sites include Central Winds Park and Wetlands Park. The design of civic buildings and sites shall be subject to review and approval by the development review committee and are permitted in any transect zone within the town center but primarily in the "civic/public" zone.

(8)

Parking.

a.

Parking requirements. The intent of these parking regulations is to encourage a balance between compact pedestrian oriented development and necessary car storage. The goal is to construct neither more nor less parking than is needed.

There shall be no minimum parking requirement in the town center. The applicant shall provide a parking analysis justifying the proposed parking solution. The level of detail required for the parking analysis shall be determined in consultation with the DRC early-on in the development process. In general, the parking analysis shall include a detailed analysis and calculation of the normal and peak parking demands for a development. The usage of standard parking generation rates is normally not acceptable for this purpose. The best source of data is field parking counts from similar developments in the area. Factors to consider when calculating the overall parking demand include, but are not limited to:

• Size and usage of the development/number of units

• Availability and proximity of mass transit

• Demographics of the expected user group

• Availability and expected use of bicycle and pedestrian facilities

• Surrounding land use

Factors to consider when determining the number of parking spaces to be provided include, but are not limited to:

• Number of parking spaces to be reserved and/or restricted

• Availability and proximity of overflow parking areas

• Mix of the type of parking spaces available, including private garages, private driveways, public surface parking, public on-street parking, metered parking, etc.

• Management strategies for the usage of visitor/overflow parking spaces

• Opportunity to share parking with surrounding properties

Enclosed garages in individual residential units are often not used to their full parking capacity. In recognition of this, the number of parking spaces considered to be available in enclosed garages shall be calculated at fifty (50) percent of the actual parking capacity. For example, a two-car garage would be considered to have 1.0 parking spaces, and a one-car garage would have 0.5 parking spaces.

Minimum parking space dimensions for head-in or diagonal parking shall be nine (9) feet × eighteeen (18) feet with eleven-foot drive lanes (twenty-two (22) feet for two-way traffic) and parallel parking spaces shall be eight (8) feet × twenty (20) feet minimum with ten-foot drive lanes (twenty (20) feet for two-way traffic).

Parking shall be provided as necessary to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction.

b.

On-street parking. The selection of diagonal or parallel parking along any section of road shall be determined in consultation with DRC. In the event that the DRC approves diagonal instead of parallel parking, dimensions should be pursuant to section 20-325(c).

c.

Off-street surface parking lot placement. Off-street surface parking lots shall be set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the property line along the main street to accommodate liner buildings. The DRC shall have discretion to make this requirement applicable elsewhere on prominent frontages, such as along key pedestrian connections, within significant vistas and within important public spaces. Outbuildings serving as garages facing alleys shall be permitted within this setback. This dimension may be reduced to thirty-five (35) feet in cases where liner buildings are being constructed concurrently with an off-street surface parking lot.

d.

Structured parking lot placement. Parking structures shall be set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the property lines of all adjacent streets to reserve room for liner buildings between parking structures or other structures with blank walls and the lot frontage. This distance will vary dependent upon the architecture of the liner building. The liner building shall be no less than two (2) stories in height or a height sufficient to buffer the entire height of the parking structure from the right-of-way. Liner buildings may be detached from or attached to parking structures. The setback dimension may be reduced in cases where liner buildings are being constructed concurrently with a structured parking facility, but in no case shall this dimension be less than thirty-five (35) feet.

e.

Access to off-street parking. Alleys shall be the primary source of access to off-street parking. Parking along alleys may be head-in, diagonal or parallel.

Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as standard drive aisles. Access to all properties adjacent to the alley shall be maintained. Access between parking lots across property lines is also encouraged. Corner lots that have both rear and side access shall access parking through the rear.

Circular drives are prohibited except for civic buildings.

In the T4 and T5 districts, garage door(s) shall be positioned no closer to streets, squares or parks than twenty (20) feet behind the principal plane of the building frontage. Garage doors facing streets, squares or parks shall not exceed ten (10) feet in width. Where space permits, garage doors shall face the side or the rear, not the front.

f.

Parking lot landscaping requirements.

Landscape strips of at least six (6) feet in width shall be provided between parking isles of either head-in or diagonal parking.

Tree spacing in parking lots shall be determined by the city arborist based upon tree species and location. The objective is to create as continuous a shade canopy as possible.

A diversity of tree species across the town center is encouraged. To minimize water consumption, the use of low-water vegetative ground cover other than turf is encouraged.

Undesirable large footprint buildings have blank facades and sit behind a field of parking.

In lieu of landscape strips, landscape islands can be provided. No more than six (6) consecutive parking stalls are permitted without a landscape island of at least six (6) feet in width and extending the entire length of the parking stall. A minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted in each landscape island.

(9)

Large footprint buildings. Buildings with a footprint greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet may be built within the town center district by conditional use only. In these cases, the maximum lot width as noted in each applicable transect zone will be waived. Such buildings must abide by all rules in this division with the following special limitations:

Undesirable large footprint buildings have blank facades and sit behind a field of parking.

Desirable large footprint buildings are wrapped in a liner of smaller buildings with doors and windows facing the street.

a.

To encourage use by pedestrians and decrease the need for solely auto-oriented patronage, large-footprint buildings must reinforce the urban character of the town center and shall therefore continue a connected system of walkable street frontages.

b.

Loading docks, service areas and trash disposal facilities shall not face streets, parks, squares or significant pedestrian spaces.

(10)

Additional prohibitions. The following are prohibited where visible from parks, squares and primary streets:

a.

Utility boxes and machinery, including but not limited to: backflow devices, electric meters and air conditioning units.

(11)

Maximum block size. A block is noted by this Code as an increment of land composed of an aggregate of lots, tracts and alleys circumscribed by thoroughfares. The maximum block size permitted by this Code is a perimeter of one thousand six hundred (1,600) feet, with no individual block face being more than six hundred (600) feet in length. Special exceptions may be approved by the DRC on a case-by-case basis from this provision where circumstances including structured parking among other things are constructed in the block.

Fronts and backs orientation of buildings and lots relative to the frontage line:

a.

Buildings and lots have fronts, sides, and rears.

b.

Thoroughfares, with the exception of rear alleys and rear lanes, should be faced with the fronts and sides of buildings and lots.

c.

Rear alleys, rear lanes and mid-block parking areas should be faced with the backs of sides of buildings and lots.

(12)

Building height. Proposed buildings greater that three (3) stories in height shall require conditional use review and permit. Cupolas, spires, domes, pinnacles, chimneys, penthouses and similar architectural features may be erected to a height greater than any limit prescribed in this Code provided, each feature does not exceed six hundred (600) square feet in area and does not extend more than thirty (30) feet above the designated height limit for each transect zone. Building height is measured as the vertical distance from the lowest point on the tallest side of the structure to the top of the cornice, eave or similar architectural feature. Subject to aesthetic review approval, buildings greater than three (3) stories must have a building step-back consisting of an architectural design element that is applied to each story above three (3) stories of the development. A step back requires that any portion of a building above three (3) stories is further pushed-in towards the center of the property for purposes of reducing the scale of the building and enhancing its aesthetic character while exposing and emphasizing the ground-level elements of a structure, increasing views of surroundings areas, and increasing solar and wind pass through.

Pentagon Row, VA

Internally lit plastic signs are designed for high speed "strip" centers, not a pedestrian oriented town center.

The intent of regulating signs that are visible from the public frontage is to ensure proper dimensioning and placement with respect to existing or planned architectural features, to maintain or improve public safety, to maintain or improve the aesthetic character of the context in which they are located, and to provide legible information for pedestrians, not just drivers.

Signs shall be flat against the facade, mounted projecting from the facade, or mounted above the top of the facade. Free standing monument signs are permitted by waiver along State Road 434 frontage.

Temporary menu board signs are permitted subject to the restrictions and uniform design standards set forth in this Town Center Code.

Wayfinding signage is encouraged, but must maintain the uniform design standards adopted by the DRC for the town center.

Examples of Signs Mounted Flat Against the Facade:

The top edge of the facade is shaped to create a special focal spot for the sign.

The sign is centered within the symmetrical arrangement of the window above and shopfront below and has internally lit letters.

The sign runs horizontally along the expression line and has internally lit letters.

Sign painted directly on the facade above the main entrance with external lighting discreetly located above the awning. The variety in font size and style give added interest.

Examples of Signs Mounted Projecting from the Facade:

Neon signs can provide a warm glow, enhancing night time pedestrian activity.

Vertical projecting signs are highly visible far down the street. A lower awning sign caters to people on foot and in cars passing directly in front of the venue.

Sign painted on the face of a canvas awning over entry and lit discreetly by external lighting.

Signs hanging from the ceilings of arcades command the attention of pedestrian shoppers.

Examples of Signs Mounted Above the Top of the Facade:

Signs projecting from the tops of buildings are highly visible from a great distance.

Projecting signs which break the skyline are visible from a variety of distances and serve as beacons to customers when lit at night.

Signs projecting above the roof stand out against the sky, adding an architectural flair to a shop's identity. This distinctive sign, made of individual letters projecting from the front of the facade and extending above the cornice line, is memorable to shoppers and is highly visible from many directions.

A second lower sign marks the entrance to the store.

(Ord. No. 2012-06, § 2, 3-12-12; Ord. No. 2019-09, § 2, 6-10-19)

In general, the purpose of the Greeneway Interchange Zoning District ("district") is to implement the specific City Comprehensive Plan provisions related to the district. More specifically, the district is intended to be predominantly a high quality corporate business/office park development that is master planned. It is intended to serve as a unique and very important economic catalyst for the City that attracts target industries with high quality and higher income jobs that promote economic growth and development within the City. High quality building and development that enhances the image and economic well-being of the City is expected in the district. Residential and incidental commercial uses may be permitted under certain conditions in support of existing or concurrently developed target industries located within the district. However, residential and incidental commercials uses are not a priority nor shall they be allowed as stand-alone uses. The district is intended to be oriented at and near S.R. 417 and S.R. 434 so the district is easily accessible from major transportation corridors.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

(a)

General uses. The district is intended to be a master planned area that is developed in phases approved by the City. Land uses within the district shall be limited to target industry uses that create significant high average wage employment opportunities including corporate business parks, office complexes, technical and research services, financial information services, life sciences, digital media, international trade, sports associated industries, hotels and lodging, conference centers and long stay tourism. Incidental commercial uses supportive of target industries may be incorporated into target industry buildings provided the incidental uses are approved by the City and are not developed as a separate facility. Multi-family residential uses may be approved as a conditional use, provided that the proposed use satisfies the conditional use criteria set forth in the City Code and the residential use shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the total floor area of a proposed multiple use building in any approved phase of the district master plan.

(b)

Development intensities. The following building intensity limits shall apply:

(1)

Floor area ratio (FAR) shall not exceed 1.0. However, the city commission may permit a FAR greater than 1.0, but not exceeding 2.0, for projects that create compact mixed use development through one or more of the following principles consistent with the City's land development policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and Code:

(i)

Implementation of environmentally sensitive site planning concepts and techniques.

(ii)

Utilize traditional design standards to create compact, multimodal mixed-use (including horizontal and vertical integration of uses) and neo-traditional urban development.

(iii)

Green building design including energy efficient buildings as determined by any nationally recognized and adopted standard.

(iv)

Incorporation of low impact development (LID) practices such as shared parking concepts, green roofs and use of stormwater for irrigation and/or other grey water type uses, and rain gardens.

(v)

Energy efficient land use which minimizes impervious services, such as inclusion of one or more parking garages.

(vi)

Restoration or enhancement of degraded wetlands, native ecosystems, or preservation of extra upland buffers around critical habitat.

(vii)

Implementation of water wise practices including sustainable site design through natural landscaping with Florida native plants.

In addition, the city commission may approve a FAR above 1.0 for a project that the city commission determines, by development agreement, has a projected significant positive economic impact that will optimize and diversify the City's economic tax base consistent with the intent and purpose of this division.

Any increase in the FAR approved by the city commission above 1.0 shall have a reasonable nexus to an enhanced environmental or economic benefit to the City and the increase shall be roughly proportional to the enhanced economic and environmental benefit that the project has on the City.

(2)

Multi-family residential uses may be allowed by conditional use permit approved by the city commission up to a maximum density of twenty-one (21) units per acre, provided the residential use shall not occupy more than twenty-five (25) percent of the total floor area (parking garages are excluded from the calculation) of a proposed multiple use building in any approved phase of the district master plan. Specific density shall be determined based on the conditional use criteria stated in the Code and whether the development satisfies the economic and fiscal impact requirements of this division and is consistent with the intent and purpose of this division.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

All buildings shall be a minimum two (2) stories in height of occupiable space (as defined by the Florida Building Code, Chapter 2). However, ancillary buildings may be excluded from the two story minimum by development agreement approved by the City Commission, provided the ancillary building is consistent with the intent and purpose of the district. The city commission, by conditional use permit, may approve a principal building that is less than two stories in height.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

Unless otherwise expressly required by the City's Comprehensive Plan, this division or other applicable law, there shall be no minimum setbacks in the district. However, the location, size, dimensions and design of yards, buildings, structures, and other infrastructure and facilities shall be determined as part of the master plan process and by development agreement. Setbacks shall generally be determined based on factors such as intensity and design of the proposed use, public pedestrian and vehicular safety, environmental concerns, compatibility of surrounding and on-site uses and facilities, and connectivity of proposed development phases within the district.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

The parking and driveway requirements for the Town Center set forth in section 20-324(8) shall apply in the district.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

(a)

All new and relocated utility infrastructure shall be constructed and installed underground to the maximum extent feasible and possible consistent with law and industry standards. All new or relocated utility lines, pipes, conduit and similar infrastructure within the district shall be constructed and installed beneath the surface of the ground unless the City determines that soil, topographical, or any other compelling site condition makes undergrounding unreasonable and impracticable.

(b)

Incidental utility appurtenances including transformer boxes, switch boxes, and pedestal mounted boxes shall not be required to be constructed and installed underground. However, such appurtenances shall be constructed and installed at locations approved by the City with maximum consideration given to visual screening, buffering, and other aesthetic and practical on and off-site visual and safety considerations. Such appurtenances shall be set back a minimum of fifteen (15) feet from any right-of-way. Visual screening techniques shall include landscape materials and masonry constructions.

(c)

Easements shall be required for the construction and installation of all utility infrastructure unless the utility determines that an easement is not needed to secure permission to use the property on which the infrastructure is installed.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

In order to effectuate the master planning of the district involving multiple development parcels of land, property owners shall be required to provide internal connection between their respective parcels for rights-of-way, access and shared parking purposes unless the City determines that internal connection is not practicable or feasible based on parcel constraints or undue hardship. Upon approval of the City, interconnectivity may be achieved by conveying public rights-of-way and cross access easements to the City or easements and perpetual real property covenants between connecting parcel owners.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

(a)

Due to the unique nature of the district and the master plan requirements, development phases and projects approved under this division shall be subject to a written development agreement unless the city commission waives the requirement for good cause shown. The agreement may address such issues as impact fee credits; economic development incentives; a specialized or negotiated concept of design or site plan development authorized or sanctioned by this division; infrastructure service credits or public-private participation in funding, design or construction; or other incentives and terms allowed by law. All development agreements approved under this section shall be adopted and be in conformance with the requirements of the Florida Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, or F.S. §§ 163.3220 through 163.4243, as to effect, duration, public hearing requirements and other issues.

The terms and conditions set forth in a development agreement and any related final engineering plans approved by the city commission shall be binding on the subject property regardless of any changes to this division. In the event that this division is amended after a development agreement is approved to permit development that is inconsistent and in conflict with a previously approved development agreement, the terms and conditions of the development agreement shall prevail, unless the development agreement is amended. The intent of this paragraph is to prohibit a developer from relying upon an amendment to this division enacted subsequent to approval of its development project or phase in order to alter the terms and conditions of its project or phase without the express written consent of the city commission. Further, the city commission may waive the technical and design standards required by this division by development agreement.

(b)

The City contemplates that the district will have one large "Icon Monument Sign" to be located generally located along the western boundary of S.R. 417 and clearly visible by north and south bound vehicular traffic using S.R. 417. The intent and purpose of the Icon Monument Sign is to showcase and identify the district and its target industries as a unique and very important business commerce area of the City. At the City's discretion, such sign may be constructed, installed, and maintained by the City or negotiated with a developer and/or property owner pursuant to the terms and conditions of a development agreement. The Icon Monument Sign shall meet general applicable sign standards adopted by the City, permit electronic digital displays, and may also permit, within the monument, the storage and concealment of telecommunication and other utility equipment for the benefit of the district and City.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

The district is intended to be planned and developed as a unified whole over a period of years. The various parcels of land within the district are also required to be interconnected to provide continuity and compatibility among the various land uses and to create a compact and walkable workplace. In furtherance of this intent and requirement, the district shall be developed in accordance with a master plan approved by the City consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Code. The master plan shall serve as the fundamental and underlying guide for future phased development of the district. Each phase shall be consistent with the master plan approved by the City. In the event a proposed phase necessitates a modification to the master plan, the developer proposing the phase shall be required to demonstrate the need and benefit of the proposed modification to the master plan in conjunction with the proposed phase. All phases shall be consistent with the master plan and the intent and purpose of this division. Modifications to the master plan shall not cause any conflict with or adversely affect any existing or permitted phase.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

Developers may, at their option and sole cost and risk, submit site layout and building elevation designs in schematic or sketch form to the City for a non-binding and preliminary review as an initial courtesy to the developer. These submittals are subject to a more formal application process (including, but not limited to, approval of final concept plans and preliminary and final engineering) which requires the submission of more detailed plans and specifications and requires a more detailed review and final consideration of approval by the city commission by development agreement. Comments and statements made by city officials at the optional preliminary review are non-binding unless memorialized in a written agreement approved by the city commission. City staff and the applicant shall only seek feedback from the commission and city staff shall not make a final recommendation regarding the proposed project or phase at this time, unless the application is accompanied by a written development agreement being proposed by city staff for the commission's approval. In which case, the city staff shall make a recommendation regarding the application and proposed agreement. This non-binding and preliminary review shall not be relied upon by the developer or property owner as a final decision and shall not be construed in any manner as creating any vested right or entitlement for the development of the subject property. By requesting and participating in the optional preliminary review process, the developer and property owner shall be deemed to have read and agreed to this code provision and to hold the City and its officials harmless for any future actions they may have taken based on the results of a preliminary review pursuant to this section.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

(a)

All development proposals within the district shall be subject to an economic and fiscal impact review pursuant to Policies 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

(b)

The developer shall be required to submit an economic and fiscal impact report to the City as a condition of approval of any proposed phase or project. The report shall be prepared by a duly qualified expert and supported by data and analysis or the developer may choose to submit an application to use the City's economic and fiscal impact model pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this section. In either case, the report shall detail the associated economic and fiscal impacts of any proposed phase or project on the City and the School District and shall be used to determine compliance with the criteria set forth in subsection (c). While the report may address regional economic and fiscal impacts, if any, the report must predominantly address the economic and fiscal impacts on the City as its own economic system. The report must address the impacts of the prosed project or phase on jobs, economic output, and wages. The fiscal impact analysis must address the net fiscal impact of the proposed phase or project on the City over a period of years. Net fiscal impact shall be calculated as the sum of those revenues (such as ad valorem taxes, public service taxes, sales taxes, and charges for service) directly received by the City minus the sum of expenditures incurred by the City (such as general government expenses, law enforcement, roads, and parks and recreation).

(c)

No development order shall be issued for any proposed phase or project until such time the city commission determines, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the proposed phase or project satisfies the following criteria:

(1)

The proposed land use and intensity (or density) is permitted under this division;

(2)

Market demand for the proposed phase is minimally feasible based on market data; and

(3)

The proposed phase or project optimally increases and diversifies the City's tax base and economic well-being.

For purposes of this section, the term "optimally increases" shall mean that the economic and fiscal impact of the proposed phase or project is the best result obtainable for the City under current economic and land use conditions. For purposes of evaluating the best result under current land use conditions, the report shall be prepared in the context of whether the proposed development phase or project is consistent with existing or proposed uses in the district, the intent and purpose of the district, and compatible with surrounding land uses. Additionally, the term "diversifies" means the extent that the proposed development phase or project reduces the City's reliance upon a residential tax base to fund the City's fiscal budget.

In furtherance of evaluating compliance with the criteria set forth in this section, the report shall analyze and compare the proposed development phase or project to either the City's preferred development phase or project for the subject property as may be expressly stated in the master plan or applicable economic development study conducted by the City for the district, or if the City does not have a preferred development phase or project or applicable study, the proposed phase or project shall be compared with a reasonable array of other potential alternative compatible projects authorized by this division.

(d)

In lieu of submitting a report by a duly qualified expert, the developer may submit an application to use the City's adopted economic and fiscal impact model for Town Center and Greeneway Interchange projects. The application shall be submitted with the applicable application fee and on a form prepared by the community development department. Along with the application, the developer shall be required to also submit all of the necessary input data and variables which are deemed necessary for the City to prepare one or more versions of a report generated from the model for the proposed development project or phase. Notwithstanding any report generated pursuant to this subsection, the developer may also submit an economic and fiscal impact report from a duly qualified expert if the developer desires to contest the findings and conclusions reached from the City's model.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

All development of property subject to this division shall also be subject to the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable Code provisions of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, and all approvals and land development permits shall be in compliance therewith.

(Ord. No. 2014-10, § 3, 7-28-14)

The provisions of this district are intended to apply to lands suitable for a wide variety of small scale (less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet) commercial and light industrial tenants in divided warehouses which serve the needs of the community without generating excessive traffic from clientele and suppliers of materials. The purpose of this district is to encourage and develop industry of an exceptionally clean, non-objectionable type and permit the normal operation of land uses listed hereunder under such conditions of operation that will protect any abutting residential and other noncommercial uses, minimize the interruption of traffic along adjacent thoroughfares, and promote aesthetic and architectural harmony, attractiveness, and compatibility within the community and abide by the performance and development standards of the city, county, state and U.S. government.
