US 17.92 Redevelopment Plan

DRAFT. 10.28.97
Introduction
US 17.92 is one of the most significant commercial corridors in Seminole County. It is the
County's "Main Street: the only at.grade roadway that traverses the entire County on its
north.south axis. The physical, economic and functional condition of US 17-92 has a great
effect on the citizens of several communities.
Recognizing the potential for degradation of development along the US 17.92 corridor, the
Seminole County Commission established the Spirit of 17-92 Ad-hoc Task Force in 1991, In
1996, the Task Force recommended the creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency.
Following a thorough investigation of existing conditions for a proposed redevelopment
district, and as documented in an Assessment of Needs Study in June 1997, the Seminole
County Commission established the US 17-92 corridor Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA). The CRA jurisdiction extends the length of the US 17-92 corridor and excludes the
previously established Casselberry and Sanford CRAs.
_.
As the first product of the US 17-92 CRA, the Seminole County Commission authorized the
consulting firm of Ivey, Harris & Walls, Inc. to prepare the corridor Redevelopment Plan for
US 17-92, This document summarizes the previous findings and presents the broad set of
strategies to improve the corridor and adjacent lands. Recognizing that the development
pattern of the facility and neighboring properties has emerged after some ninety years of
development activity, the Plan offers a guide to those efforts that will take some time to
come to fruition. However, it is also clear that the failure to take action could result in a
continued decline of the County's "Main Street. H

The Community Redevelopment Area Defined
The Redevelopme~t Area was delineated after careful consideration and evaluation of all
parcels located approximately 1,500 feet east and west of the US 17.92 cente~line, . Final
determination of parcels to be included in the study area was made after consIderatIon of
such factors as those parcels fronting US 17-92; parcels having increased development or
redevelopment potential based on adjacent land uses or land attributes; and irregular or
small or surrounded parcels that, at some future time, might be combined with adjacent
parcels for a more efficient use of land,
The final Redevelopment Area is shown on the following pages. According to Seminole
County's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data files, the total land area of parcels
.~......

Ivey, Harris & Walls, Inc.
within this area is 1,820.56 acres, exclusive of public rights of way. It includes 1,216
parcels along 12,6 miles of US 17.92.
The US 17.92 Redevelopment Area is unique in that it is spans six different governing
jurisdictions. These include unincorporated Seminole County and the citi.es of Cassel~erry,
Longwood, Lake Mary, Sanford, and Winter Springs. However, a portion of t.he City of
Casselberry is presently situated within the Casse.lb~ny CRA, . F?r purpo~~s of this Plan t~e
Casselberry CRA is not included in detailed descnptlons of eXisting conditions and analYSIS,
but is included in those instances where continuity and the "blend. between the adjacent
jurisdictions is important to consider.

Executive Summary of the Finding of Necessity
The consulting firm of Ivey, Harris & Walls (IH&W) was commissioned in May 1997 to
conduct a summary assessment of the US 17.92 corridor in terms of the need for
redevelopment. Prepared under separate cover, the study provided evidence that 'blighted'
conditions exist along US 17.92,
Relying upon a variety of empirical observations of 1,216 parcels within the US 17-92 study
area, the Assessment of Need study was prepared cognizant of the requirements of Chapter
163 of the Florida Statutes. The determination, classification and measurement of the
statutory, criteria-based variables was performed in a consistent manner throughout the
study area. Highlights of the statutory conditions and findings included the following:
Defective Street layout
. 56 percent of the developed sites have undefined driveway openings
. 21 percent of the developed sites feature excessive width in drive openings
. 63 percent of sites have inadequate queuing area for cars to safely ingress to parcels
Faulty lot layout in Relation to Size, Adequacy, Accessibility, or Usefulness
. 32 percent of the developed sites had unpaved parking areas
78 percent of the developed sites had no provision for cross.access
63 percent of all sites had no public sidewalks
. 58 percent of the developed sites had no disabled access between parking areas and
buil.dings '. ,....
Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions
For those sites with paved parking. 36 percent had some level of pavement deterioration
For those sites with sidewalks, 20 percent had some sidewalk deterioration
. 23 percent of all sites had trash or other uncontained debris on site
Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
. Excessive disparity of permined building materials, or inappropriate use of building
materials
. 39 percent of the developed properties had some dilapidation in buildirig cosmetics or
conditions
. 81 percent of the developed properties had some level of deterioration in landscape
condition
Visual Blight
Disparate signage also was indicative of a blighted condition. Resulting from ineffective and
non<ohesive currint regulations within the US 17-92 torridor, this condition is further
aggravated by a lack of code enforcement and by concentrations of signs in poor or
dilapidated condition at major intersections.
Accident Statistics
While six- lane portions of the US 17-92 corridor were substantially below the state's critical
accident ratio as of 1995, the accident ratio for the four-lane portion of the corridor almost
tripled between 1993 and 1995.
In 1995, the four-lane section exceeded the state's critical ratio for accidents on this type of
facility, qualifying the vast majority of the US 17-92 corridor as an unsafe roadway by the
Florida Department of Transportation. Transportation safety issue is further evidence of a
blighted condition along US 17-92.
Stalic Tax RoJa
Growtl~etween 1992 and 1997 In the US 1.7-92 corridor tax role, totaling less than three
percent, substantially lagged behind the County's five-year change of 16.6 percent overall.
This relatively static level of growth strongly indicates a business corridor growing at a rate
inferior to that of the balance of the County,

Summary of Existing Conditions
Parcel Composition
An analysis of the sizes of the 1,216 redevelopment area parcels provides revealing data that
is useful to understand opportunities for small lot aggregation, and the development
potential of large, undeveloped parcels.

laUjlo
The complexity of the US 17-92 redevelopment effort can be summarized by one major
finding. That is, seventy-five percent of all parcels within the study area are less than one
acre in size. Although the largest group of parcels is less than one. half acre, these 664
parcels represent only nine percent of the total land area within the corridor. Conversely,
tracts greater than three acres represent only ten percent of the total parcels and 63 percent
of the total land area within the corridor.
...,.....
In many" cases, the smallest lots occur in concentrated areas of residential or formerly
residential development, such as the north end of the Redevelopment Area in Sanford.
Another group occurs north and south of the SR 434 and US 17-92 intersection in'
longwood.
This fact underscores the challenge of the land assembly and development process.
Current, suburban site development regulations limit a new building to approximately 20%
of a site's total acreage. for a one. half acre site, a building would be limited to 4,356 square
feet; this constraint could limit the types of commercial development possible along the
corridor. The small parcel size parameter also challenges the ability to safely and efficiently
manage access to the corridor and adjacent properties.
Transportation
As noted in the Assessment of Need Study, accident and safety records of the florida
Department of Transportation (fDOn indicate that portions of the US 17-92 corridor have
breached the acceptable ratio for arterial roadways. In addition, traffic volumes have grown
and continue to increase along many segments of the corridor. level of service deficiencies
are notable during morning and afternoon rush hour at several intersections along the
roadway,
In response, fOOT has programmed a near-term expansion of US 17.92, from Melody lane
in the city of Casselberry to Shepard Road near the Spring Hammock Conservation Area.
This widening to six lanes, scheduled for construction in 1998, will substantially improve the
carrying capacity of US 17-92 in the corridor's central locale. However, there are presently
no additional programs to continue the expansion of this facility north toward the city of
Sanford. ..
The historic expansion of US 17-92 to six lanes along the southern portion of the corridor
has also contributed to the dysfunctional character of selected, older commercial properties.
Generally, the acquisition of right-of-way to accommodate previous improvements has
reduced the available area for parking, pedestrian treatments, landscaping, and on-site
drainage facilities, In some cases, this circumstance also renders difficult the ability to
secure cross-access easements or other desired on-site circulation improvements that could
enhance the Mlook- and function of the corridor. Opportunities to retrofit these types of
improvements should be carefully considered as part of future redevelopment activities.
Parks and Recreation
Parks and Recreation facilities are located throughout the Redevelopment Area. They
constitute an asset for the corridor as green space and as a desired mechanism for the
development of pedestrian and other non-vehicular linkages. Each facility is listed below by
the jurisdiction in which it occurs.
While there are many lakes within the Redevelopment Area, some of which are directly
adjacent to the roadway, there is no park within the Redevelopment Area that promotes
lakeside views or shoreline recreation.
Sanford
Sanford has six parks within the Redevelopment Area. Elm Avenue Park, between first and
third street and east of US 17-92, has unlighted basketball courts and a playground. The
Jaycee Park, south of Elm Avenue Park, has picnic tables only.

There are no parks owned by Longwood that are within the Redevelopment Area.
.........
Infrastructure
The provision of Infrastructure to new and existing development includes such facilities and
services as potable water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, power, telecommunications,
and transportation facilities. Generally, the US 17.92 corridor is reasonably well serviced by
most of these Infrastructure elements. Issues that are important to recognize relate to the
adequacy of service, limitations to the expedient provision of service, and the contribution of
certain elements to the aesthetic and functional character of the corridor.
Overhead power and telecommunication lines contribute to the aesthetic challenge of
corridor redevelopment. This includes not only lines paralleling each side of the corridor,
but also those lines frequently crossing the corridor. In addition, the condition of utility
poles varies between relatively new, concrete poles, to older, and in some cases, dilapidated
and unsafe metal and wooden poles. At a minimum, consideration should be given to the
upgrading to a consistent concrete pole structure along the entire corridor; or alternatively,
to the relocation of lines to a parallel easement in the rear of frontage parcels; or to the
burial of power and telecommunication lines as part of the overall plan.
Construction of a sizable majority of structures within the US 17-92 corridor occurred prior
to contemporary stormwater management requirements. Consequently, adequate
stormwater management is lacking in much of the redevelopment area. This circumstance is
further aggravated by the relatively inability to retrofit small parcels with adequate retention.
Redevelopment activities must include a concerted effort to evaluate existing drainage basins
and site condition;' so that adequate stormwater provisions will be included in future plans.
This may entail the negotiation of area-wide or site-specific stormwater management
strategies with the appropriate permitting authorities.
Availability of adequate potable water and wastewater service is fundamental to
development, Without access to these utilities, the potential for new development is
severely reduced, as accommodations are made via septic systems and potable water wells.
In addition, existing development presently using septic systems and wells is' limited in its
potential for redevelopment, because of inherent permitting and capacity limitations of
septic systems and individual raw water wells,
The majority of the CRA is included within a designated utility service area for potable water
distribution or wastewater collection. However, portions of the corridor are apparently not
subject to inclusion within a designated service area. In addition, a substantial portion of the
serviced areas of the corridor is either lacking utility lines, or contains inadequately sized
lines, Emphasis must be placed on the agreement by area utility providers to service the
entire developable area of the corridor, and to effectively program those improvements
necessary to ensure adequate and safe facilities to accommodate future development.
According to each of the local Comprehensive Plans, those areas within the CRA that are not
included in service areas of any jurisdiction are illustrated on the following page and are
briefly described as follows:

Future land Use
A composite map of future land use designations for the redevelopment area is shown on
the following page, Generally, the pattern of future land use has been established by the
existing development characteristics along the corridor. However, with respect to vacant
land and specific development initiatives, the pattern of future land use designations is
important for purposes of gauging compatibility and the need, if any, to consider
amendments to the future land use elements of the various local government
comprehensive plans.
Non-residentiaJ Uses
The non-residential composition of the redevelopment area includes resource protection and
conservation, commercial, office, industrial, mixed use and recreation, Commercial land use
areas generally occur directly along US 17-92, but are inlerrupted by pockets of residential
and industrial land use. Conservation areas are primarily found around lakes, but also
includes Spring Hammock conservation area,
..
Residential Uses
Residential land use areas are prevalent throughout the redevelopment area, including low
density and PUD, medium density, and high density. These areas generally occur on the
outside edges of the redevelopment area, but also occur in limited areas directly fronting US
17-92. The predominant designation is low density I PUD for residential, with limited areas
of medium and high density residential.

1990 Socia-Economic Data
The socio-econo~ic conditions of the US 17.92 corridor were compared to the balance of
Seminole County. While the 1990 census data is nearly eight years old, it is assumed that
the characteristics of the corridor and the County have not significantly changed. The census
data offers a historic baseline overview of those population, housing and financial variables
that define the socio-economic character of both US 17-92 and Seminole County. As year
2000 census data is available, it is recommended that the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) update this inventory and assess its continued relevance to redevelopment
plans and programs.
Generally, 1990 data related to population, housing and financial characteristics of the
corridor planning areas, and the County as a whole, was collected and analyzed. Because
census tract 208.01 extended west to 1-4 in the city of lake Mary, it was excluded from the
analysis.

Population Characteristics
The corridor accounted for nearly twenty percent (20%) of the County's total 1990
population, with 56,921 people residing in the corridor as compared to 287,529 in the
County. Appendix A. Analysis of 1990 Socio-Economic Data, indicates that the US 17-92
corridor and County'S population possessed similar attributes in most data categories.
Population by Age
The breakdown of the corridor and County's population by age display essentially the same
composilion in 1990.
Population by RaCfl
In tenns of ethnic composition, the corridor had approximately five percent (5%) fewer
Caucasian residents and five percent more African-American residents than the County. The
proportional representation of other corridor ethnic groups was essentially the same as the
County.
Housing Characteristics
The corridor's total and occupied housing units accou~ted for nearly twenty-one percent
(21 %) of the County's housing stock.
Tenure of Housing Stock
Fifty-three percent (53%) of occupied housing units in the corridor were owner-occupied,
compared with sixty-seven percent (670/0) in the County. In addition, forty-seven percent
(47%) were renter-occupied in the corridor as compared with thirty-three per!=ent (33%) in
the County.
Vehiclas AvaDabJe
The percentage of corridor housing units that had no vehicles available was more than
double the percentage of the County (10.3% in the Corridor compared 5.0% in the County).
The County also had a greater number of proportional occupied housing units with one and
two or more cars than that in corridor. This suggests greater propensity for mass transit use
along t~e corridor compared to that of the County.
Year structure Built
The majority of housing units in the corridor are older than those in the County as a whole.
Only 27.B% of the units in the corridor, compared with 51.4% in the County, were built
between 1980 and 1990.
Persons per Household
Both the corridor and the County had approximately 2.6 persons per household in 1990.
However, when the four planning areas are examined independently, Area 3 (CR 427 to
Airport Boulevard) possessed slightly over three (3) persons per household.

DRAFT - 10-28-97
Vacanl Unils
Slightly more vacant housing units (10.2%) were located in the corridor than In the County
(8.6%). In addilion, fourteen percent (14%) of housing units in 1990 were vacant in Area 4
(Airport Boulevard to lake Monroe)
Lacking Complela Plumbing
Both the corridor and the County had only 0.3% of their housing units lacking complete
plumbing facilities. No acute problem was identified at the planning area level.
Waler and Sewer Facilities
As a total corridor, US 17.92 appeared to be on par with providing water and sewer facilities
to nearly the same number of proportional housing units as the County in 1990. However,
Area 3 (from CR 427 to Airport Boulevard) lagged far behind in the provision of water and
sewer facilities to housing units along the corridor (79.8% water system and 59.3% sewer
system) as compared to the County (89.6% water system and 77.5% sewer system).
Complele Kitchen FacUities
Nearly one hundred percent (100%) of both the housing units in the corridor and the County
had complete kitchen facilities.
Telephone Service
The number of occupied housing units in the corridor without telephone service in 1990
(1,373) accounted for nearly fifty percent (50%) of the total number of occupied housing
units in the County without telephone service (2,799).
Financial Characteristics
Median Household Income .......
At $24, 842, median household income in the corridor was substantially lower than
that ofthe County at $35,637, .
Owner-Occupied Housing Units
The corridor's owner-occupied housing units reported values which were $29,968 or thirty-
three percent (33%) less than those in the County. In addition, median monthly owner costs
for mortgaged units were $239 or twenty-nine percent (29"-') less than those in the County.
For housing units without a mortgage, median monthly owner costs were $35 or nineteen
percent (19%) less than those in the County.
Monthly Owner Cosl-Io-Income Ratio
Nearly twenty.three (23%) of the owner-occupied housing units in the US 17-92 corridor
possessed housing costs exceeding thirty percent (30%) of household income,
RenIer-Occupied Housing Units
Median rent in the corridor was $470 a month. This was approximately fourteen percent
(14%) less than the median rent of $548 in the' County,
MonlhJy Rant-to-Income Ratio
Nearly. forty-three (43%) of the renter.occupied housing units in the US 17-92 corridor
possessed monthly rent e thirty percent (30"-') of household income.

Driver and Business Surveys
In mid.September 1997, IH&W prepared and distributed a pre-paid mail back survey
of various user groups of the US 17.92 corridor. The survey was designed to assess
user recognition of the corridor and to determine the degree and type of
development activities and area improvements that might be desired in the future,
Approximately 3,200 surveys were distributed - 2,000, to southbound area motorists
during the morning rush hour at US 17-92 and SR 436 and the balance to area
businesses fronting the entire corridor from the Seminole/Orange County line to SR
46 In Sanford. Approximately 350 surveys were returned; the overall eleven percent
(11 %) response rate was split almost evenly between the motorist response (245
responses - 12%) and the business operator response (105 responses. 9')(,).
As shown in the following table, a host of Import.u;t and relevant findings can be
associated with the survey results. For example, more than ninety percent (90')(,) of
all respondents consider the US 17.92 corridor to be Seminole County's "Main
Street." Perhaps more importantly, virtually all respondents - 98% - agreed that the
US 17-92 corridor needed to be improved. Clearly, these two survey findings
underscore an overwhelming level of public. support for the redevelopment initiative
along US 17-92. This support is consistent with respect to both the motorist and
business operator survey groups,
In terms of the type of improvements desired for the US 17-92 corridor, the
motorists most often selected landscaping, road and pedestrian improvements,
building renovations and signage controls as desired activities. The business
operators also established a very strong interest in corridor landscaping. The
business respondents were also desirous of building renovations and sign age
controls, the addition of sidewalks and the burial of power lines.
. ....,..
With respect to the types of development desired along the corridor, the clear.
majority of respondents in both groups established a preference for more parks,
quality sit-down restaurants and professional offices. A sizable share of each group
also specified a desire for civic buildings, shopping centers, banks, and movie
theaters.
Finally, .with/~espect to the types of uses that were relatively undesired along the
corridor, the vast majority of both survey groups were supportive of fewer car sales
lots and nightclubs and bars. A reduction in the number of boat dealerships, fast
food restaurants and, presumably, older, inexpensive motels were also notable
responses from one or both survey groups,
Overall, the survey provides an excellent guide to the type of activities and
treatments that could be undertaken as part of the corridor redevelopment effort.
Opportunities for site selection of specific types of uses, corridor beautification
efforts, heightened code enforcement and design guideline efforts are specific
activities that should be considered to respond to the public's perception of needs
and desires for the US 17-92 corridor.

Conditions Synthesis
Based on the combined evaluation of the Assessment of Need Study, the existing conditions
of the corridor, and the Driver and Business Survey, the corridor redevelopment area can be
summarily characterized by its apparent assets, its latent assets, and its constraints.
The corridor's apparent assets are clearly recognizable as being of value to redevelopment
efforts, and may contribute to continued interest and security in redevelopment Investment
initiatives for the area. latent assets are valuable as well, and may contribute to
redevelopment success though they may not be readily apparent to the community at large.
Constraints challenge the success of development or redevelopment efforts.
Apparent Assets:
Communi.ty support for redevelopment: Community leaders and government officials of all
local jurisdictions along the US 17-92 corridor support redevelopment efforts.
Existing and available right-of.way: Rights of way along the majority of the US 17-92
corridor are sufficiently wide to accommodate future road improvement projects. In several
segments of the corridor the existing roadway is a six-lane divided road.
lakes and other natural land features: lakes and conservation areas that are directly adjacent
to US 17-92 contribute to the natural beauty of the roadway, greatly enhancing the aesthetic
nature of each area where natural features occur.
Established public facilities: Many public facilities, such as police stations, fire stations,
schools, research centers, and cultural centers, are located on or near US 17-92.
Historic ~ature of US 17.92:_1\5. the first transportation link between Seminole and Orange
Counties, this roadway is one of historic significance. This lends additional support to the
effort to enhance it through redevelopment.
New business that are enhancing the character of the corridor: New businesses along the
corridor represent a base level of investment and confidence in the location.
Undeveloped land: The corridor contains many acres of undeveloped land in parcels of
large size and key locations. These parcels have the ability to be developed under current
land development guidelines.
Pockets of mature vegetation remaining: Spring Hammock conservation area and other
pockets of mature vegetation enhance the natural aesthetics of the corridor.
...-.'.--:-.--...
Designation of US 17-92 as the primary transportation corridor in the county: The roadway
is considered to be the .Main Street. of Seminole County.
Latent Assets:
Undeveloped land - parcels not yet developed and of near sufficient size to develop under
contemporary land development code requirements.
Nearby lakes: Those lakes not directly adjacent to the corridor but hidden from view or
access by existing development.
Underdeveloped, existing parks: Parks with minimal facilities that have adequate land for
improvement or enhancement. .-
~
Minimally developed land (existing development): Land developed in a marginally efficient
manner.
Greeneway terminus / Beltway connection: Future connection across US 17-92, and existing
connection to major transportation network.
Community College: Important cultural facility and community asset providing a connection
to the community.
Multi-jurisdictional recognition of common problems: Each of the six jurisdictions along the
US 17.92 corridor recognizes the need for redevelopment.
Const~afnts:
Underimproved businesses: Marginal investment in property.
Brownfields: Contaminated land in need of detailed site assessment
Small parcels: Sixty percent of all parcels, representing seventeen percent of all parcels
within the redevelopment area are less than one acre in size. Those that are undeveloped
are difficult to develop; those that are developed often do not meet current site design
criteria.
Adult Entertainment establishments: These businesses contribute to a negative public image
of the corridor.

Lack of landscaping on individual parcels and within the right of way: This condition
contributes to a sterile im~ge of the corridor,
Lack of pedestrian facilities: Sidewalks are absent along most of the corridor.
Visual clutter and disparity of signage: Many signs do not meet current code requirements.
General lack of maintenance: Many parcels are in need of pavement and building
maintenance, and improvement in general upkeep of the site
Lack of utilities in some locations: Sewer and water is unavailable in several locales within
the redevelopment area.
Overall visual disparity: Signage, building types, arrangements, and materials, overhead
utility lines, and other clutter contribute to this factor,
..
~
Historic land development patterns: Existing development is anachronistic or otherwise
incongruous with Future Land Use designations.
Accessibility and parking: Many parcels have inadequate parking and unsafe access to and
from the site.
Drainage: Lack of drainage improvements throughout the redevelopment area contribute to
the lack of attention to water quality and quantity management.
Deteriorating residential areas: Several instances of decline in building condition and
landscape.
Traffic management and signalization: Throughout the corridor, changes in site access and
intersection signalization woukl'ilT1prove safety and efficiency.

The Four Planning Districts Defined
Because the US 17-92 Redevelopment Area covers a large, linear area of land, it is divided
for purposes of this plan into four areas of interest. These areas were delineated based on
geography, land use, development patterns, and traffic circulation patterns.
Fero Pari( South District
The Fern Park South District begins at the south end of the Redevelopment Area at the
Orange and Seminole County line, and extends north to the boundary of the Casselberry
Redevelopment Area at Prairie Lake. This is the smallest sub-area of the four, and it contains
a largely disparate section of development with regard to use and condition. It has little
topographic relief, and features many parcels of greater than one acre in land area. The
jurisdiction of this area is unincorporated Seminole County. The character of US 17-92 is a
combination of rural and urban sections,
...
Longwood / Spring Hammock District
The Longwood I Spring Hammock District begins at the north end of the Casselberry CRA at
Dog Track Road and US 17-92, and extends to the northern limit of Spring Hammock
Conservation area. This district is characterized by several lakes that flank the US 17-92
corridor, with rolling topography containing many parcels larger than one acre in land area.
The jurisdictions of this district are Longwood and Winter Springs. The character of US 17-
92 is of a rural, open swale drainage design; this portion of the corridor will be modified
through the near-term FOOT road widening in 1998.
Lake Mary District
The Lake Mary District begins at the northern edge of Spring Hammock Conservation area
and continues to Airport Boulevard in Sanford. The district contains, almost exclusively,
parcels greater than three acres, and contains the largest individual parcels of all of the sub.
areas. The jurisdictions of th}:}.rea are Lake Mary and Sanford. The character of US 17-92 is
of a rural, open swale drainage design.
~
~
~
Historic Sanford District
The Historic Sanford District begins at Airport Boulevard and extends to west First Street (SR
46) in Sanford. This district features the most concentrated development pattern of the
Redevelopment Area, with the greatest occurrence of parcels less than one-half acre, a great
many of those parcels being residential or formerly residential development. The character
of US 17-92 changes from a rural, open swale drainage design, to an urban, curb and gutter
section.

Redevelopment Objectives and Strategies
The overall mission statement of the US 17-92 corridor Redevelopment
Plan is to maintain the existing corridor assets, to discover and promote
its hidden assets, and to improve or eliminate deficiencies in the target
Redevelopment Area.
ROLE OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
The role of the Community Redevelopment Agency (eRA) in each of the following strategies
is to work with local govemments and existing agencies as an advocate to focus
redevelopment work efforts.
In pursuit of accomplishing substantial improvements throughout the us 17-92
redevelopment district, the following objectives and strategies are established in draft form
to obtain community input and approval. They provide the framework and general
guidelines to direct Agency decision-making and enable redevelopment activities that are
consistent with the interests of the community.
A. REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION
Objective
Establish the administrative and financial mechanisms necessary to achieve the goals and
strategies of the US 17-92 Redevelopment Plan.
Strategies
1. The county should commit initial resources to staff and support for agency activities,
reserving tax increment revenues for funding capital improvements and other programs
as approved in the Redevelopment Plan. Tax increment revenues should be leveraged
through grants, commercial loans or other financial mechanisms to expedite the
completion of projects.
2. Strategic object~es should be consistent other county-wide economic development
prerogatives.
3. The Agency should oversee the planning process and develop appropriate administrative
policies for implementing the plan effectively. It should actively facilitate and expedite
approval of private development projects that further the goals and strategies of the
redevelopment plan.
4. The Agency should promote effective communication and a cohesive, cooperative spirit
among the various public and private leaders in the county and cities, using the venues
and talents of existing civic organizations and committees.
5. Work with area talents to initiate desirable special events activities, to develop and
implement sound marketing and promotion strategies, and to formulate reasonable and
acc~table design guidelines and architectural standards.
~
6. The Agency should provide suitable public information services concerning all aspects of
the redevelopment program such as media reporting and speaking engagements at
neighborhood and civic organization meetings.

DRAFT - 10.28-97
B. LAND USE
Objective I
Establish a land use pattern that reflects the redevelopment area as a total community of
diversified interests and activities while promoting compatibility and harmonious land-use
relationships,
Strategies
1. Promote and locate strategic land use activities of regional importance within the
redevelopment area to capture additional market opportunities while reinforcing the
unique character of the community.
2. Develop land uses and pattems that create, complement, and strengthen existio"g nodal
activity centers along the corridor. .
3. Formulate" future land use strategies based on the premise of sound market analysis and
demographic research.
4. Encourage a variety of uses, including residential, mixed use, office, commercial, and
parks.
Identify areas that have potential for development as medium and high density housing,
modifying the local Future Land Use elements as necessary. Generally, building height
should be restricted to four stories. Compatibility with adjacent residential development
must be maintained.
1. Identify and promote parks and recreation development, in areas where natural features
such as lakes and con~::f!:'ation areas would immediately enhance the recreation
opportunities or aesthetics. Modify the Future Land Use plan as necessary to designate
land for this use.
2. Restrict additional industrial areas.
Objective 1/
Encourage innovation in land planning and site development techniques,
Strategies
1, Work with local Planning and Zoning Boards to Include mixed use developments within
city and county plans and zoning ordinances.
2. Work with the planning and zoning staffs in the development and implementation of
performance standards that will provide incentives and/or bonuses for developer
proposals providing creative design and amenities.
3. Achieve the on-site mixing of residential and commercial uses in appropriate locations.
Objective tII
Encourage projects that promote environmental clean-up, restoration, and protection.
.
Strategies
1. Encourage the preservation of lake shoreline protection and restoration in cooperation
with appropriate agencies.

DRAFT. 10-28-97
Program Organization and Initial Actions
The 17.92 Redevelopment Plan sets forth long range community objectives, regulatory
initiatives and proposed capital projects designed to improve the physical characteristics and
functionality of the primary commercial corridor in Seminole County. After accurately
defining and validating problematic conditions along the corridor and subsequently devising
the projects and programs contained herein, it is left to the Board of County Commissioners
to adopt the Redevelopment Plan and provide for its successful implementation. The
following section of the plan provides recommendations conceming the organizational
framework and administration of the Agency. While recognizing the Agency's unique role
and relationship with local governments, affected property owners, businesses, development
professionals and the community, initial actions are presented for consideration as the
County begins undertaking this formidable task.
The Redevelopment Agency Board
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners appoint a seven member board
to oversee agency operations. To foster a cooperative spirit and insure input from the
municipalities along the corridor, it is recommended that each of the five cities provide a
recommendation for the appointment of one representative to the board and that the
County agrees on two appointments to fill the remaining seats. In this manner each of the
vested government jurisdictions can determine selected candidates whether they be public
officials, property owners or businessmen established along the corridor.
Subcommittees
The Agency should consider establishing subcommittees to provide a forum for discussion
and recommendations to the Board concerning various aspects of the. program. The number
of committees should be limited for effective administration, targeted to specific issues and
dispersed upon completion of their mission. Subcommittee membership should be
manageable in number and'representative of those most affected by policies and decisions
of the Board. Suggested committees and their recommended tasks include the following:
Land Development Policies and Procedures
Provides recommendations concerning any proposed land development regulations which
may include uniform sign regulations, site plan requirements, architectural guidelines' and
landscaping. Formulates policies and procedures to enable effective facilitation of the
development review process including incentives such as None stop shoppingN for plan
review and policies concerning project advocacy and coordination by agency staff for the
purpose of expediting various permitting processes.
..-....-..--
Capital Improvements Programming
Responsible for the preparation of a detailed Capital Improvements Plan (ClP) for the
redevelopment agency to be reviewed annually during budget preparation. Elements would
include the itemization of projects identified in the Redevelopment Plan, their prioritization,
phasing, recommended funding sources and on-going status. Recommendations should
include procedures designed to coordinate capital improvements from multiple government
jurisdictions and those from the private sector to maximize opportunities and avoid
duplication which can squander financial resources.
Marketing and Public Relations
..
Formulates marketing strategies and promotions while establishing public relations policies
and procedures geared toward sharing information concerning the redevelopment program.
. Should assist in developing and maintaining a data base identifying all groups and individuals
with an interest in the program for on-going contact. It may be beneficial to work closely
with organizations already established for this purpose such as the Chamber of Commerce
and Auto Dealers Association.
Staffing
During the initial stages of the redevelopment program, it is recommended that staffing be
provided by the County's Planning Department. Eventually there will be a need for a full
time staff that may consist of a Director, planner 'and administrative assistant. Staffing
requirements will be dependent on the relationships established within the County's
administrative staff, the extent of responsibility ultimately afforded to the Agency by the
County C,9mmission and the total amount of funding. It is recommended that the County
assume.the leadership role in funding the operational expenses of the Agency through the
general fund while reserving tax increment revenues to be leveraged with grants and other
financing measures for planning and capital improvements. The County may wish to explore
the possibility of sharing operational expenses proportionately with the other municipalities
impacted by the program.
Administration
The redevelopment program administration should be integrated with the County. All
administrative practices should be consistent with county policies pertaining to issues such
as personnel, finance, procurement, contracts etc. to assure compliance with all state laws
and local policies, The Agency should thereby function as any other department within in
the County and should be afforded access to all other departments for information,
programs and services.
US 17-92 Redevelopment Plan
Ivey, Harris & Walls, Inc.
32
DRAFT - 10-28-97
The Agency Charter and By-laws
The Redevelopment Board should draft a Charter and By-laws which establishes their
mission and clearly defines operational policies based on the requirements contained in
Chapter 163 Part III of the Florida Statutes as well as those set forth by the County
Commission.
Coordination with Local Govemments and Agencies
Perhaps the most important function of the Redevelopment Agency will be the coordination
of planning efforts and capital projects between the various local governments and agencies
with jurisdiction along the 17.92 corridor. The Agency should assume the lead role in this
capacity providing focus and advocacy for maximizing opportunities that may exist between
organizations but may otherwise proceed unnoticed. This, however, does not mean
interference with other's operations, but instead means the establishment of cooperative
relationships that will nurture benefits for all jurisdictions involved, Therefore, it will be the
responsibility of the Agency staff to identify the appropriate organizations, establish
relationships, and become educated about the various projects and programs being
undertaken along the corridor. Suggested jurisdictions and their relationship to the
redevelopment program include the following:
Municipalities
Relationships should be established with all municipal adininistrative staffs to coordinate
policies and procedures conceming land development regulations, ensure compliance with
comprehensive plans, provide forecasting and budgeting of capital projects and to pursue
the negotiation and execution of any necessary intergovemmental agreements or joint
resolutions.
FOOT
..,.....
Obviously all plans and proposals for 17.92 will be coordinated with FOOT including
permits for construction, landscaping and curb cuts. Additionally, the Agency should'
coordinate with FOOT and the St, Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to
maximize the impact of storm water retention improvements by enabling the private sector
to secure storm water credit for any future construction based on any increased runoff
treatment capacity afforded by the road widening project. The Agency could possibly seek
relief from County stormwater utility fees for private properties as well. Also, the Agency
staff should assume the critical role of .ombudsman. between business and property
owners, FOOT and the contractor during 17.92 road construction.
..~.~..
5JRWMD
Stormwater management is a critical issue facing the Redevelopment Agency, many parcels
of property are of insufficient size to be redeveloped if they are required to meet Current
retention requirements. Therefore, the Agency staff should work with the SJRWMD to
formulate a regional stormwater master plan for the redevelopment district which will
alleviate restrictions on retrofined properties and enable more expeditious permining.
These efforts should also include the County stormwater utility.
All Utilities
Agency staff should establish relationships with all of the various utilities to stay abreast of
future plans for service expansion, routine maintenance . projects and other improvements
that may be combin~ with agency sponsored capital improvements. A data base should be
developed containing a list of contacts for service hook-up, planning and engineering and
administrators serving goveming boards. This information should be readily available for
anyone interested in developing property in the redevelopment district and the staff should
be involved in assisting developers in this process.
Chamber of Commerce
The Redevelopment Agency and the Chamber should develop a strong relationship. Support
from the business community is critical to the success of the redevelopment program and
the Chamber provides access to businesses. The Agency should become a member of the
Chamber and leadership from the staff should be involved with appropriate Chamber
subcomminees.
The T~Base and Revenue Projections
Perhaps the greatest indication of the economic health of a community is the relative
strength of its tax base, which is the total value of property used when determining ad
valorem taxes. A stable growth rate in property value correlated favorably to the rate of
inflation would indicate a strong market for real estate investment and provide stability in
the rate of taxation expressed in millages assessed on property. A weak market is one in
which the increase in property values in not keeping pace with the rate of inflation or worse,
when property values are in a cycle of decline. This condition may give cause for an
increase in tax millage to provide an equivalent amount of revenue to support government
services.
An evaluation of the tax roll has shown that the redevelopment area is currently
characterized as having weak market conditions with an average annual increase in property
values of only 2.9% during the past five years, averaging 0.6% annual. Fortunately, property

values for the rest of the County have maintained a steady rate of increase at 16.6% during
the same period, averaging approximately 3.3% annually. However, over the long term, If
the general condition 'of Seminole County's main commercial corridor Is not improved and
weak market conditions prevail, the County could be faced with the negative economic
consequences associated with increased taxation and the deterioration of the commercial tax
base.
One of the primary objectives of the redevelopment program is to refortify the tax base by
undertaking selective capital improvements and implementing strategies designed to
invigorate private sector investment in the redevelopment area. New investment and the
resulting increase in property values provides the fuel for the redevelopment program which
derives its funding from tax increment revenues. Upon adoption of the redevelopment plan
and the redevelopment trust fund ordinance, the total value of property within the
redevelopment area is determined and fixed to establish the tax base. All tax revenues
generated on the fIXed tax base will continue to flow through the appropriate taxing
authorities for budgetary purposes. All future tax revenues generated by an increase of
property value within the redevelopment area are diverted to the redevelopment trust fund
for program implementation. The redevelopment agency is not a taxing jurisdiction, so it
does not have the authority to assess a millage rate which is applied to the value of property
to generate ad valorem tax revenue.
By creating a Community Redevelopment Agency, the Seminole County Commission has
utilized statutory provisions to establish a revenue stream that can be used to finance the
capital projects set forth in the Redevelopment plan. These revenues can be used to satisfy
debt obligations or may be leveraged with grants, commercial loan pools and other financial
strategies to successfully implement the plan.
If approved this year, the tax base would be fIXed at $308,021,649.
For purposes of establishing revenue projections, a range of between 0.6% and 5% of an
increase in annual property .vio4aes are provided with the associated revenue calculated at
95% of the total income as provided by statute. These values are then compounded and
projected for a ten year period.
Several conclusions can be drawn after reviewing the revenue projections. If the existing
trend of property value appreciation continues at 0.6%, a nominal increase in annual
revenues of only $131.197 will be realized after a ten year period. At this rate of increase,
accommodation of future needs for government services and capital improvements will be
difficult. This further emphasizes the need to strengthen the tax base by improving the
physical image of the US 17-92 corridor, thereby stimulating interest in private investment.
Using the best-case scenario, if new development and rehabilitation can successfully
stimulate a 5% annual rate of increase in property values in the redevelopment area, the
community would benefit from an Increase of $1,336,428 In annual tax increment revenues.
With a standard capitalization rate of 10%, the Agency could Issue a redevelopment bond of
approximately $13.3 million, which establishes a firm foundation for leveraging grants,
commercial loan pools, and private contributions for embarking on programmed capital
improvements,

under the State of Florida Community Redevelopment Act. This increment, which is. to be
determined annually, is equal to 95% of the difference between: the amount o( ad valorem
taxes levied each year by each applicable taxing authority on taxable real property within the
Community Redevelopment Area; and, the amount of ad valorem taxes that would have been
produced by the current millage rates prior to establishing of the Redevelopment Trust Fund.
Both of these amounts are exclusive ot"debt service millage of the taxing authorities.
Redevelopment Revenue Bonds
The provisions of F. S. 163.3 85 allow Seminole County or the Community Redevelopment
Agency to issue 'Revenue Bonds' to finance redevelopment actions, with the security for such

redevelopment agency under statutory provisions. The resale or leasing o( such land to
private developers can provide another source of income within the Community

source o( Income to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Although such contributions
may only account (or a small portion o( redevelopment costs, they do provide opportunities
(or community particfpation with positive promotional benefits.
Urban DevSJopment Action Grants (UDAG)
This is one of several programs at the Federal level designed to fund private development
through leveraged public investment. Due to cutbacks in Federal funding this is not
considered a strong source of funds at this time.

The Community RedeY~Jopment Area
Pursuant to State Statutes, a community redevelopment area must be a slum area, a blighted
area or an area in which there is a shortage of housing that is affordable to residents of low or
moderate income, including the elderly, The Seminole County Redevelopment Area consists of
the US 17-92 corridor and adjacent areas which have become deteriorated due to age,
obsolescence and the lack of investment. Unfortunately, a deteriorating area is self
propagating. and as conditions worsen, residents and private businesses become less..willing
to put financial resources into the area, It is this cycle that severely limits the ability of private
enterprise to stop the spread of slum and blight without public assistance. The redevelopment
area boundaries were delineated as the area encompassing those properties that were found
to qualify as slum and blighted. (see accompanying map)
The Community Redevelopment Plan
All public redevelopment actMties expressly authorized by the community redevelopment act
and funded by tax increment financing must be set forth in a redevelopment plan which has
been approved by the County Commission. Uke the Comprehensive Plan, the Community
Redevelopment Plan is an evolving document which must be evaluated and amended on a
regular basis in order to accurately reflect changing conditions and community objectives. As
such, this Community Redevelopment Plan has been prepared to update the established
action priorities contained in the comprehensive plan based upon a new set of priorities set
forth by the citizens and governing body.

Implementation Priorities
Clearly, there are tremendous challenges and opportunities to improve the US 17-92
corridor. The determination of specific projects to undertake must be made by the CRA
in light of available funding and strategic impact. Generally, the recommended priority
for project implementation is grounded in the philosophy of upgrading the entire
corridor in a parallel series of improvements and in taking advantage of investments
made by various third party interests. The following projects represent opportunities to
maintain the momentum of several near-term improvements born by agencies such as
the Florida Department of Transportation: the US 17-92 widening from Melody Lane to
Shepard Road; Greeneway construction near Airport Boulevard; and the city of Maitland
Gateway improvements at the Orange County line.
