The subject property is surrounded by residential (multi-family) on three sides. 3. The applicant states in writing that he is the owner in fee simple of of the subject property. 4. The Future Land Use Map designation of Excelsior Business Park is "Commercial" and the zoning designation is C-l "Neighborhood Commercial". 5.

ZONING COMPATIBILITY: The applicant's request for a new zoning district designation of C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial" on the subject property would not be compatible due to the proposed permitted use of warehousing adjacent to a residential area on three sides. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION: MOTION: VOTE: NOTE: Moved that, assuming the City would approve a new zoning classification, that this specific site be given that zoning classification. 3 ayes, 0 nays Mr. Grimms asked for clarification on the this motion. Mr. Fernandez stated "Affirmative, with certain findings that we made and maybe we can summarize here and Mr. Brown can help me and Mr Lein can help me. That the nuisance potential be regulated by Developer Agreement, that appropriate landscape buffering, walling and other insulation from the multi-family usage be considered when the development plan's final engineering come in, and that again as it relates to the spot zoning, that it be considered citywide as opposed to this one specific site. So that those specific findings are made, the smaller we get the more findings we got to have." And you got to put that in there. Mr. Grimms stated "Based on your motion passed on findings articulated." Mr. Brown stated "Yes" JUNE 23, 1997 AGENDA ITEM B-1 Page 4 RECOMMENDA TION: Staff recommends disapproval of the first reading of Ordinance No. 664 to change the zoning designation from C-l "Neighborhood Commercial District" to a new zoning district C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial" on a 3.79 acre parcel based on the findings below: 1.

" PROPERTY: Location: On the east side of Moss Road 1.360 feet north of S.R. 434, and known as "Excelsior Business Park". Legal Description: Replat of a portion of lot 12, Block "D" and a Replat of a portion of Orange Avenue, D.R. Mitchell's Survey of the Levy Grant recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 5 Public Records of Seminole county, Florida in Section 34, Township 20 South, Range 30 East, City of Winter Springs, Florida. ACREAGE: 3.79 acres EXISTING LAND USE OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: Vacant sublots 1,2,3,4,5 with overgrown weeds, except for lots 6 and 7 which has a two- story office building and parking lot. EXISTING LAND USES ADJACENT TO SUBJECT PROPERTY: North: Multi-family housing (14 buildings) South: Multi-family housing( 5 buildings) and wet retention pond. East: Multi-family housing (Indian Ridge) West: Two office buildings on the outparcel; vacant, partially wooded land on the west side of Moss Road with wet retention pond. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: Existing: Commercial. Requested: No requested change. \.. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS ADJACENT TO SUBJECT PROPERTY: North: Higher Density Residential (9.1 to 12.0 DU per acre). South: Higher Density Residential (9.1 to 12.0 DU per acre). East: Higher Density Residential (9.1 to 12.0 DU per acre). West: Public Buildings and Moderate Density Residential (3.6 to 6.5 DU per acre). ZONING OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: Existing: C-l "Neighborhood Commercial" Requested: A new zoning district to be established called R-3 "Flex-Space Commercial". ZONING ADJACENT TO SUBJECT PROPERTY: North: R-3 "Multi-Family Dwelling District". South: C-l "Neighborhood Commercial". East: R-3 "Multi-Family Dwelling District". West: R-3 "Multi-Family Dwelling District" and C-l "Neighborhood Commercial". CHRONOLOGY OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: The subject property was indicated along with other properties on the east side of Moss Road as "Commercial Districts" on the Future Land Use Map adopted on September 28, 1982 per Ordinance # 267. Excelsior Business Park was approved by the City on January 8, 1990. The subject property was part of the original Village of North Orlando. APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Sec. 20-57 states The Planning and Zoning Board shall serve. . . to recommend to the City Commission the boundaries of the various original zoning districts. . .and any amendments thereto. . .act on measures affecting the present and future movement of traffic, the segregation of residential and business districts and the convenience and safety of persons and property in any way dependent on city planning and zoning. ~ II. REZONING ANALYSIS: THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES THE DATA AND ISSUES WHICH ST AFF ANALYZED IN REVIEWING TIllS APPLICA nON. A. JUSTIFICATION FOR REZONING REQUEST: 1. Applicant states "The city has only two (2) classifications C-l Retail and C-2 Industrial. This property does not fit either for use in the area. 2. Applicant states "Small business and/or "Flex-Space" is better defining the proper use within the neighborhood." B. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT TO SURROUNDING LAND USES: The applicant's proposed zoning change from C-l "Neighborhood Commercial", which focuses on commercial retail, to a new district category C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" would allow warehouse operations adjacent to existing multi-family residential. The nuisance could come about as a result of the all-hours loading and unloading of trucks, the bright lights, noise, the potential for noxious fumes and chemical fires, attractive nuisance to children nearby. The subject property (Excelsior Business Park) will not be compatible, and therefore will present a nuisance to the adjacent multi-family residential. Average vehicle trip ends is 4.88 per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for warehousing. In the development of this property, the Site Plan Review Board, as indicted in Sec. 9-347 City Code, will review for lIcompliance with all city ordinances, for conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan, for compatibility with locally recognized valu~s of community appearance and design, for conformity with the guidelines on vehicular traffic access, ingress, egress, internal circulation, parking; concerning emergency vehicle access and concerning pedestrian movement; for assurances of satisfactory utility service for the health and welfare of the community; to assure compatibility with other improvements and the need for adequate light, air, access and privacy; to assure that the natural qualities and characteristics of the land will be preserved and that the project site will be appropriately landscaped and provisions established for the maintenance of same; to assure that adequate setbacks will be provided within the planned project and that provisions are made for the supervision and maintenance thereof; and to assure that the aesthetic and architectural details of the planned project are compatible with the surrounding area and serve to enhance the character of that area. The site plan shall be reviewed by the board and approved, disapproved or properly referred by such board in accordance with the results of its review. II c. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Development of the uses proposed in the C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" on the parcel will add to the City's tax base, over that of existing vacant land. With the exception oflots 6 and 7 being used for an office building the remaining lots are vacant since the platting of Excelsior Business Park in 1990. D. COMPATIBILITY WITH CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" would be compatible with the Future Land Use Map (PLUM) designation of "Commercial". The Excelsior Business Park platted subdivision is designated "Commercial" on the FLUM. E. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Spot Zoning There is the potential for "spot zoning". Only this 3.79 acre property in the City would have the proposed C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" . Norman Williams in his five-volume study American Land Planning Law [27.01-27.08 (1975)]gives three (3) criteria for determining spot zoning: a. The area proposed to be rezoned is small. b. The owner of the property(s) stands to directly benefit. c. The proposed rezoning is not compatible with surrounding existing land uses. The subject property is only 3.79 acres in size. The applicant has a contract on the subject property. As mentioned above, staff believes that the warehousing component, especially, is not compatible with the surrounding adjacent existing residential land use - multi-family. In the "green bible of planners" aka Principles and Practice of Urban Planning, it states "Amendments which give special treatment to a favored few are known as 'spot zoning'and will almost certainly be invalidated by the courts if contested. Although no precise definition of spot zoning can be given, any amendment not based on community or neighborhood-wide considerations may fall within this definition, the danger being particularly great where the amendment affects only one or two properties. " Courts have had difficulty in determining spot zoning. Some courts have used the criterion that spot zoning is any change which departs from the comprehensive plan. Some courts in discussing it, apply the terms "arbitrary", "capricious", "unreasonable" and similar adjectives. Other courts use the term (spot zoning) more descriptively, in the sense that whether the zoning of a "spot" is valid or not will depend on the cIrcumstances involved. Whatever courts may purport to be doing in spot zoning cases, much of it comes back to the adjectives previously mentioned: Is the action taken arbitrary and unreasonable? Did the zoning ordinance or amendment which singled out the parcel make good sense in the light of the facts involved, as the Iowa court said in Keller v. City of Council Bluffs. 2. Permitting of Warehousing in City's Current Zoning Ordinance. Warehousing as a permitted use is presently allowed in the C-2 "General Commercial and Industrial District" per Sec. 20-252(41) City Code, and in the commercial area of the Tuscawilla PUD per the court's Settlement Agreement. III. FINDINGS: A. ZONINGCOMPATIDILITY: The applicant's request for a new zoning district designation C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" on the subject property would not be compatible due to the proposed permitted use of warehousing adjacent to a residential area on three sides. B. NUISANCE POTENTIAL: The nuisance comes about as a result of the all-hours loading and unloading of trucks, the bright lights, noise, the potential for noxious fumes and chemical fires, attractive nuisance to children nearby. c. WAREHOUSING AS A CURRENT PERMITTED USE: Warehousing as a permitted use is presently allowed in various locations in the City in the C-2 "General Commercial and Industrial District" per Sec. 20-252(41) City Code, and in the commercial area of the Tuscawilla PUD per the court's Settlement Agreement. D. SPOT ZONING: There is the potential for "spot zoning". Only this 3.79 acre property in the City would have the proposed C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District". Amendments which give special treatment to a favored few are known as 'spot zoning' and will almost certainly be invalidated by the courts if contested. IV. STAFF REC0111v1ENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend disapproval to the City Commission the request by R. E. Owen & Associates for a new C-3 "Flex-Space Commercial District" based on the findings indicated in III above. \.. PROPOSED C-3 FLEX-SPACE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT Sec. 20-254 In general. The C-3 Flex-Space Commercial and Industrial District is to be used by office and warehouse operations. The purpose of this district is to permit office and warehouse operations confined within structures that are compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods. Sec. 20-255 Uses permitted.
