ARTICLE VI. S.R. 434 CORRIDOR VISION PLAN
DIVISION 1. S.R. 434 CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT
Sec. 20-445
Intent.
The purpose and intent of this specialized overlay zoning district is to encourage and provide for
enhanced property development within the S.R. 434 commercial corridor. Some of the objectives
to be attained through the establishment of this district include: enhancement of the commercial
status of the corridor; reduction of visual distraction through uniform sign criteria; enhancement
of physical appearance through increased landscaping of public and private property; provision of
architectural design guidelines to create a unifying theme over time; protection of adjacent
residential land uses; and maintenance of property values.
Sec. 20-446
Creation.
In addition, to and supplemental to, other zoning and land development regulation requirements
heretofore and hereafter, the S.R. 434 Corridor Overlay District includes additional regulations to
promote the orderly development and redevelopment of the corridor, which shall be applied
through imposition and mapping of an overlay district. The regulations are in addition to and not
in substitution of the underlying zoning district regulations which shall also remain applicable to
the overlay zone. The overlay district design standards will govern development within the
corridor and will control where conflicts between regulations occur.
DIVISION 2. GENERAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AREA
Sec. 20-447 Applicability to New Development Overlay Zoning District.
The following design standards shall apply to the New Development Overlay Zoning District
which includes all properties adjacent to the S.R. 434 right-of-way from Hayes Road eastward to

(3) On corner lots, the front yard shall be considered as abutting the street upon which the lot
has its least dimension. The rear lot, in this case, shall be opposite the front yard.
(4) The following structures are specifically excluded from the setback restrictions:
a. Steps and walks.
b. Landscaping and landscape berms.
c. Planters three (3) feet in height or less, or
d. Other improvements as may be permitted under applicable regulations of the City.
The Board of Adjustment will consider any request for the placement of such other
improvements within a setback, only after a Design Review Board review and
recommendation. In determining whether to recommend City consent, the Design Review
Board may consider, without limiting the scope of their review, the following: (i) the extent
to which any hardship exists that would justify a variance from the normal setback
requirements; (ii) the aesthetics of the proposed improvements and their visibility from
common roads and adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or objections of adjacent property
owners; and (iv) the nature and use of the proposed improvements. It is the owner's burden
and responsibility to provide such information and documentation as may be requested by
the Design Review Board in order to justify to the Design Review Board that the intrusion
of additional improvements within the normal setbacks is beneficial to the corridor and will
not adversely affect adjacent property owners.

RE: S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan: New DcYelopment Arca d:lted M<lY 21, 1997
Memorandum from Margaret S. O. Casscells dated August 19, 1997
Dear Ron:
...1.il,,:,.
\lrbiJe we do not :l,gree \\ith ever: thing in the above memorandlUn, there are some issues on which we concur as
weII as other items to consider in the Nev,' Dc\'clopment Arc<l Design Standards.
Section 10-340 (1) - Most commercial development along S.R. 434 will want at le:lst some parking in front of
the building, so that the 50 foct setback \\ill rarely be a problem. However, it is possible th<lt Some officc or retllil
user \\il1 prcfer to bring their building fOr\vard and put all parking in the reJr :lnd ".ant a smiJlIer front setbiJck.
Perhaps pro\.isioll shouid be made fer a \.mancc.
)0.-'-
':',..
. "
Section 20-342 (4) - We agree thm 10' x 20' is outdated :md too large for a minL-nwn standard parking space size.
We have suggestcd 9' x 1 S' \\ilhout a pro\.ision for sm.dler compact spJces. The parking spaces at the new
\Vmta Springs Post Office arc 9 feet \\ide. An. o\\ner would be free to make his parking spaces larger if it was
desired or needed. In our experiencc, compact car o\\ners park in full-size sp:lces and \"ice yersa, creating
unpleas:mr situations that C3I1't be pre\'cnted. Leaving 2 feet unpaved at the end of each space is a way to avoid
paving an <lrCa beyond C',"er:-' parking block or curb that tires ne\.er touch. There is a cost sa\"~gs and an incre<lse
in penious area. Howe\"er, the green space that is created is of lo\\"er quality depending on the intensity of use
because cars and trucks o\'erhang the green space.
Scction 20-343 (10) - Land presen'ed in its natural state, lakes-'and stOIT.;\\.<ller managcment systems D1:lY be
included in the green space. Howc:vcr,25 % still may be excessiye in some situations. This deserycs a little more
research.
(11) - Berms don't need to be o\"er 3 feet high and ~en.t needed at all \\.hen a :3 foot hedge or wall h:ls been
pro\'idcd.
(14)(a) - Landscaped islands probably need to be at least 6 feet \\ide to support a tree along with other plant
materials. We r.a\'e suggested a 9 foot \\;dth to match parking space \\idth. Thc trees in the islands should not
h3\'e to be canopy tr~s in all instances. Besides shade, trees pro"\-ide a perch for birds to bomb vehicles and
pcd~ans. Also, retail users in commercial retail de\'e!opments need \isibiJity that certain trees obstruct. There
should be flexibility in tree selection. '
@'.:;
!. ,-.-
_.
(l4)(b) - We think that 15 continuous spaces is a good compromise. Howe\"er, it may be desirable to let this
nwnbcr vary depending on the \\iath ofJandsc:!ped islands. For eX:lrnple: 6 fOOl isbnd \\;th 10 spaces, 9 foot
isl;:md \\ith 15 spaces, or 12 foot island \\iL'120 sp.Jces. Some \"ariety in design is atlractiye.

\~.
(14)(c) - We dcfinitely agree th;lt 40 c.1rs per bay is much too low. This would carve larger developments into
little qu:utcr acre isolated pockcts and obstruct vehicular movement. Most cities and counties don't have any
limit on parking bay size. We think that a fair compromise is in the range of 300 cars per bay 'lith the continuous
landscaped island in the 9 foot rnnge. (The only green space that you might not gct credit for is the optional 2
foot strip, which would total 800 square feet or less along 40 parking spaces.)
(15) - We think a landscaped :u-ea SUITOW1ding each building is a good requirement, but aIlowLlnce must bc made
for building a~s and signOlge visibility. Buildings with multiple store front entries are encouraged in Section
20-348 (10) to incorporate overh.mgs in front facades to promote pedestria.'1 activity, and it will be difficult to
have both covered walkways and extensive landsc<lping.
(21) - We agre= that the larger C<1liper trees are much more expensive and Olre unnecessary. Also, the larger trees
are more likely to die when transplanted. The Citf'k.arbor ordinance: specifies 3 inches calipe:r measured D.B.H.
as the minimwn standard for trees although points are a".arded for sm311er trees also. The City and a developer
could agree that smaller trees be planted in less visible areas and large:r ones be planted up front
,
C>
(23) - We think that a connecting wall,.".ny is a good requirement, :lnd stamped concrete is a less expensive
allcrnati,.c to bricks or pa\'ers. There may be other less costly options to highlight a pedestrian crossing such as
plOlin concrete to contrnst \\ith asphalt drives. However, we think t!J3t 9 feet is too "ide for the required
landscape burrer, especinlly when parl,.;ng spaces could be located all both sides of the wnlkway resulting in a
23 foot wide corridor through the property. Perhnps 6 feet is a better requirement since it's "ide enough to
accommcxbte landsc:lping nnd the coni dol' would be either I I feet or 1 i feet \\ide depending on whether parking
was on one side or both sides.
Section 20-344 (3)(2) - We agree that the minimum standard should be reduced perhaps to 2~" _ 3" caliper and
10' - 12' height Just as allowance is made for hedge materials to grow within the first year, so the properly
planted and \\<ltered trres \\'ill grow. The cost savings are significant Also, the Design Standards seem to require
a total of 8 trees per 100 feet of frontnge, which is excessive, when 3 or 4 is plenty.
Section 20-345 (<I) - We think a IJndscaped base is [me for a ground mounted identification sign. The Design
Standards allow for signage on pilTcels "ith smaller frontage j!}d properly address spacing and the possibility
of additional signage for l:lrge parcels. The wall sign 8 foot height restriction is much too low and doesn't belong
in (a)(5). It should be omitted. (c)(3) says all that n~ to be said.
We ag:ree that the mmcim\.UTl COpyare3S in (a)(7) and (a)(8) are much too restrictive. The heights are alright The
break point should be 150,000 square feet, not 250,000. We would recommend that you increase the ma\:imum
copy areas to 64, 80 and 96 square feet respectively and allow e3ch anchor tenant 16 additional square feet
(b)(6) We agree that the ma'ldrnwn height of a ground mounted single tenant identification sign is too low and
should be 10 or 12 feet for copy ilreas of32 and 48 square feet respectively. We also agree the the ma"irnurn
copy areas in (d)(6) are extremely small, especially for retiliJ and should be 2Teatlv increased. Ma"imurn letter
height should be 30 inches or 25% of building height.

(m)(2) You may want to allow for the possibility of a sign painted directly on an exterior wall in some inst~ces.
(m)(l2) Prohibiting pole signs makes sense because the goal is to utilize mournent style ground signs.
Section 20-347 (a)(1) - Cross access is desirable between adjoining properties \\ith compatible land uses and
good vehicular connections should be required, but a "corridor extending the entire length of each block ser"\"Cd~
should not be required. It sounds like a parallel road system being built by private property owners for public
benefit Senoice and loading vehicles do need to be able to use the cross access connections. Certain property
O\'ners may need their o\\n attorney to review how item (c) alTects their particular site. The meaning of item (f)
is unclear to us and n1<lY need some work.
Section 20-348 (I) - \Ve agree that it is more aPP~.Rriate for government to encourOlge rather than require certain
building n1nterials, ";th a few exceptions, beQuse it's difficult to anticipate e'.ery possible application. (4)
Scre:nirlg of dwnpsti:I"S seems Olcccptnble to us. (7) Outparcels should be able to conform to and integrate ,,;th
the o\"C~raIl project, \\ithin reason. (11) We think that backDow prevenlers and other valves could be scre:ned
by landsc<lping toward the back of the buffer area to a"oid being placed in a parking space or driveway.
A lot of time and energy hos gon~ into dC\"cloping these Design Slandards and with a little more effort I think we
can <lrri,.e at a plan that is acceptJble to nIl concerne.d.

RE; To"n Center (TC) and Nc\\' Development AreJ (NDA) Design Standards
Dear Ron;
, ! .tl-.
My previous letter dated September 5th, focused on the NDA Design Standards and Missy Casscells comments
about them, but virt'.Jally all of my comme<1lS could also apply to the TC Design Standards.
The new option of creating a SLX foot continuous landscJped island between rows of parking, ".hich \\-:15
substituted for the option of2 foot unpavcd strips along parking spaces, is a good idea whcn it is combined \\iLb
other JdjustmenlS. Increasing the maximum number of continuous spLIces from 10 10 20 LInd shortening the
minimum length of spa~ from 20 feet to l8 feet is a good stnT!. The minimum \\idth of spJces should also be
reduced from 10 feet 10 9 fcct <Il1d the access drh'e minirnunl \\idth should be reduced from 24 feet to 22 feet
The islands at each end of (l row of parking spnces should be reduced from 9 or 10 feet to 6 feet \\ith this option.
This \\ill still result in additio:1al greenspJce and creates thc only 40 car parking ba:' that would be acceptable
to a developer, A de\.eloper ".ho instead of the above option, chooses to use 9 foot "ide islands for e\'ery ten
spaces should be allowed 320 spJces per parking bay, but should use a 9 foot \\ide continuous island around it
to increase greenspace insteJd of the current 5 feet. Regardless of the choice, parking spaces should be a
minimum 9' x 18' and dri\'eways should be a minimum 22 feet \\ide.
Canopy trees should not be requir~ at 30 fcot inter..als in the continuous 6 foot lands~ped islands, The City's
O\\n arbor ordinance stJtes that small trees must be thirty feet ap5it, medium trees fony feet apart, and large trees
at least fifty feet apan. This is a good rule and agrees \\ith tree spacing required along right-o[-ways and gi\'es
the del'eloper some choices in the design oflandscaping. TIle isolatcd 9 foot islands could each hJ"e one large
tree or two small trees planted in them.
Irrigation \\ith reclaimed water should only be required when anilable, and thaC s not specified on page 10
(NDA). Also, trees must be selected from the recommended tree pallet according to page 11, but my copies of
both TC and 1\TJ)A do not include any pallet Both documents require wall'ways to "create visual interesC, on
page J 2, and the NDA states that walh.i\'ays must "meander'" to do so, But, that must be reconciled \\ith the
straight sidel\-alks already built along S.R. 434 and Tusb\\"illa Road. Also, these wall.."\\.ays are required to be
"adjacent to the right-of-\\~,"'", which is generally straight, .and "adjacent"'" could mean on or off the right-of-way.
Sidewalks along roads :u-e usuclly in the right-of-way, howe'\'er, and that should be stated here to a\'oid interfering
\\ith the planting of trees,
On page 13 (TC), item (15) needs to JJlow for :lccess to entr:mces through the landscaped area and sign:lge
\isibilily along tile front fJc:lde of continuous store front buildings. Also, jt~m (16) should not require a ten foot
side\\'Jlk within :l p!JzJ/hJrdscape um n1JY be replllcing ala or 13 fOOl \\ide l<Il1dsCJped are~l. There \\"on't be
any room for trccs, furniture or lighting thJt ;u-e Jlso required. On page 13 (NOA.) and page 14 (Te), d:mlJgcd

trees are required to be rcplaced \\ith 4 inch caliper trees measured 3 feet abo\"e grade. To be consistent, these
should be 3 inch caliper trees measured D.B.H. The oak trees to be planted in the landscape buffer should be a
minimum of 3" caliper and 12 feet high. The holly trees planted at 35 foot intervals will not create a formal
appearance because the 35 foot and 50 foot intervals "ill conflict "ith each other and trees planted at different
times wiIl '"aI:' greatly in size. The city could undertake a tree-planting program in a limited area to achieve the
desired result on a smaller scale. At the top of page 15 (TC), stormwater retention areas should be allowed to
be wet if designed as part of a water feature.
References to p)'l~n signs on p<lge I G and in the defmition of Ground Sign on page 26 (NDA), should be
eliminated but certain types oftc:mporary signs will function as pole/pylon signs. For e.~ample, construction and
marketing signs and some political signs \\~Il be made of 4" x 4" posts and 4' x 8' sheets ofpl:ivood or similar
materials. The prohibition against pole signs on page 21 should list those types of signs as exceptions.
. .. 1o.it-.
On page 16, item (8) and page 17, item (6), the wording is a\\.I-.,vard in tlle last line: u1 00' front foot" should be
changed to ., 1 00 feet of frontagc". On p<lge 18, item (d)( 4), should omit the 14 foot height limit and inste:ld
merely prohibit the sign projecting abO\'c any roof or parapet ele\"ation. Like\\ise, on page 17, item (c)(3). On
pages 19-20, m<lrketing signs should ha\.e a minimum setback of 15 feet and a minimum height of 14 feet to
makc them consistent \\ith all other sign:lge. Also, on page 20, item (m)( I), should not completcly prohibit neon
although its use could be limited. On page 2 I, itcm (m)(I I )(c), could be abuscd if additional signage were
attached to a ~iler mtha than merely idcntif: i.ng i:l company name or its product. Some limits would be helpfuL
On p(ge 25 (TC), item (10) needs to be clarified. These o\.erhangs could re:llly c1i:lsh "ith the
bndscape/plaznlh:u-dscapc Me.i required to surround each building. There are \":uious t: pos, errors and omissions
in the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan that should be corrected \\ith a careful re<lding once all the changes have
been <Igreed upon.

Re: Schrimsher Letters
...!.tt"!.
Based upon the issues that developed at the last Commission meeting, I have reviewed
again the staffs review of the Schrimsher letters with the following comments:
1)
All of Mr. Schrimsher's comments were reviewed prior to final
submission of the documents to you for the last Commission meeting of
October 13, 1997.
~
c1~
-a
2) Staff has no recommendations for changes to the design guidelines.
3) In my opinion, Mr. Schrimsher will continue to object and debate because
he simply does not agree with staff.
However, it necessary that we move on. Adequate provisions have been
made in the ordinance to negotiate -..ariances to design standards when
such variances are truly needed for the success of a development.
4) Again, my frustration is that staff met for months with Frank Schrimsher
to work out the design standards that are in front of you, as amended by
you own desires. It seems to me that Michael Schrimsher would accept
the compromises that were worked out during that process.
My recommendation to you is to adopt the ordinance as provided for the new
development area with the changes included in my memo of October 10, 1997.

DA TE:
November 24, 1997
RE:
Response to your memo dated November 21, 1997. regarding changes to the New
Development Area proposed by Mike Schrimsher
The comments I received were in the form of a marked-up copy of the Design Standards dated
October 30, 1997.1 have noted the comment from Mike Schrimsher in italics and my response
below the COmment in normal type. :::
1. SEe. 20-449 Setbacks. Buildings are required to be setback 50'jrom S.R 434. You
suggest there should be a variance lor offices with parking in the rear.
The was considerable discussion at the Commission workshops about setbacks along S.R.
434. It was proposed that buildings be placed closer with parking in the rear but this
option was rejected. I propose no change to the proposed regulations.
2. Sec. 20-452 (4) Landscaping. The following changes are recommended:
AI/landscaped areas shall be adequately irrigated with and reclaimed water shall
be used where available.
The intent was to require all landscaped areas to be irrigated. I would support the
additional language if it clarifies the intent.
3. Sec. 20-452 (14) Landscaping. The requirements/or /ands(,:aping in vehicular use areas
are as /ol/ows ana Jltt.{f inr:.mde at IMSt ~le rol') canopy f1 ee.
Mike Schrimsher proposes to strike the last part of this sentence. This language was added
to clarifY that a minimum of one tree would be required in each landscaped area. No
change is proposed.
4. Sec. 20-452 (14)(0) Landscaping. Landscaped curbed islands of JO'feet wide are
questioned as being in conflict with Sec (14)(d) and (23) which are shown as 9' wide.
The 10' width refers to the outside of curb. This allows for a 6" curb on each side. This
matches the width of a parking space. The inside of the island, or the landscaped portion,
would be 9' wide which makes allowance for the curb around the island. Sections (] 4)( d)
and (23) correctly refer to the inside landscaped area; therefore, a conflict does not exist.

In the same sentence the following change is suggested by Mr. Schrimsher:
These islands shall be a minimum of ten (J 0) feet wick and as deep as the combined
parking spacers) plus median, if any, and shall include at least one (1) canopy tree Q!.
two (2) smaller!r.<<S.:.
No change is recommended.
'.,
".
5. Section (J~)(c) Landscaping: The comment was made that parking bays limited to a
maximum of 40 cars is "absurd".
I disagree.
In the same paragraph, Mr. Schrimsher suggests specifying a small tree or other
combinations of trees to OCcur in islands between parking bays asfollows:
Parking bays shall have a maximum offorty (40) cars. Where total parking requirements
for a parcel exceedforty (40) cars, parking lots shall be broken into distinct areas
separated by continuous landscaped islands at least five (5) feet wide. Landscaped
islands shall contain one (1) small tree for every thirty (30) linear feet of island, or one
0) medium tree per/arty (40) feet or one /arfe tree per fifty (50) feet.
By not specifying small, medium or large, the developer has an option of what tree to
plant given the desired design intent. I recommend leaving the language as proposed to
give the developer design flexibility.
The same comment regarding specifying size of trees is noted by Mr. Schrimsher for the
next paragraph (e). This relates to an option of having 6' foot wide islands and allowing
unbroken rows of parking of 20 spaces.
Again, I do not recommend any change.
6. Sec. 20-453 (a)(2) Buffers and Walls. Thefo/lowing changes are recommended:
This area shall be planted with live oaks or other deciduous trees with a minimum two
and one-half (2.5'~ or three (3"l inch caliper measured at diameter at breast height
(D.B.H.) and overall height of six~l!1J (16) ten (JO) or twelve (/2) feet at time of
planting...A minimum offour (4) sub-canopy trees and two (2) deciduous trees per one

hundred (100) feet of frontage or fraction thereof shall he planted.. Mr. Schrimsher
questions having 6 frees per J 00' of frontage.
The height of trees was changed to 10'-12'. No other changes are recommended.
7. Sec. 20-454 Signs.
(0)(5) A wall sign shall not he higher'than eight (8) feet above tM closest vehicular use
area. Mr. Schrimsher suggested deleting this sentence. His comment stated that
these are ground-mounted signs, not wall signs.
'..
This sentence was intended to apply to signs applied to entry wall features and is
appropriate to leave in.
(a)(7) In this section relating to ground mounted multi-tenant or project identification
signs, the copy area and height of signs varies in relation 10 the height of
buildings. Mr. Schrimsher suggests that 75,000 to 250,000 square feet is too
great of a spread without allowing other variation.
No change is recommended.
Mr. Schrimsher also has the same 90mment about paragraph (8) which deals with the
allowable signage for anchor tenants with respect to building size. In addition he
suggests that additional anchor tenant signage should be 16 square feet in size rather
than J 2 square feet as proposed in the design standards.
No change is recommended.
(h)(6) Ground Mounted Single-Tenant Identification Sign. Suggested change: The sign
shall not be more than ~ghl (8) ten (JOJ to twelve (I2l/eel in height above the closest
driveway or vehicular use area. Mr. Schrimsher references Sec. (a)(7) ahove which
relates to the height o/multi-tenant signs. They range in maximum heightfrom 12'-16'.
Because single-tenant signs are different than multi-tenant signs and do not need to convey
as much information, single-tenant signs are recommended to be smaller; therefore, no
change is recommended.
(c)(3) The signs shall not project ahove any roof or canopy elevations. Mr. Schrimsher

This was the intent. This language is acceptable if it clarifies the intent.

directly on any exterior wall" should always be prohibited
No change is recommended.
(n) Prohibited Signs: (12) Pole Signs. Mr. Schrimsher wants to add the following
exceptions to pole signs: construction, marketing, political.
These types of signs are not excJuded under the definition of poJe signs; therefore, no
change is recommended.
8. Sec. 20-455 Utility Lines
(3) All transformers and switch boxes related to development approved after the
adoption of this section shall be set back a minimum of~" (15) ten (/0) feet
from any right..of-way and visually screened using landscape materials or
masonry construction in conformance with these land development regulations.
It was the desire of the COmmission to have transformers placed outside the 15' buffer;
therefore, no change is recommended.

9. Sec. 20-456 Corridor Access Management.
(1) A cross access corridor extending the entire length oj each hlock served to
provide jor dJ-iveway separation (consistent with the F.D. 0. T. access
classification system and standard~.
There is no objection to inserting the reference to F.D.O.T.

In the design oj a system of joint use driveways and cross access easements,
building sites involving garage doors and bays associated with any use within the
district shall be located perpendicular to S.R 434.
Mr. Schrimsher questioned "perpendicular to S.R. 434'~
This language was taken from F.D. O. T. access management criteria. The intent is to
accommodate cross access by not having someone place a building that would block
access trom an adjoining property.
10. Sec. 20-457 Building and Screening Design Guidelines
Under acceptable building materials. Mr. Schrimsher proposes to include brick, split-
faced or deco,.ative concrete block.
The intent was to allow these materials. There is no objection to including this language
for clarification purposes.
(3) Dumpsters and similar facilities shall be screened on allfou,. (4) sidesfrom
public View. Both sides and the rear of such facilities shall be screened by an
opaque concrete wall, or similar material consistent and compatible with the
associated buildin~. Dumpster shall be placed in an area that is least visible
from a public right-aI-way.
This was not felt to be necessary in the New Development Area. By specifying the type of
material and that it be placed in the least visible area of the site, the proposed
recommendation is though to be unnecessary.
(11) Backflow preventers and other above ground Valves shall be screened so they are
not visible from the street right-of-way using either landscaping or an opaque
building material and sholl be subject to ten (JO) foot buffer setback
