TOWN CENTER WORKSHOP

Regular
February 11.1999
Meeting
~~~ori~~
REQUEST: The purpose of this workshop is to present a revised proposed
Town Center District.
CONSIDERATION:
On January 13, 1999 the Commission had a workshop on the proposed Town
Center Code with the property owners and staff.
After hearing from staff, the City's consultant, the property owners, and the
Commission directed staff and the consultant to continue discussions with the
property owners in an attempt to resolve issues with the property owners.
Relatedly, the Commission deferred the first reading of the Town Center Code
and Interlocal Agreement with Seminole County until February 22, 1999.
Subsequent to the January 13, 1999 meeting, staff and the City's consultant have
had meetings and telephone conversations with Schrimsher Properties
representatives relative to Code Provisions.
Staff believes that the suggested amendments to the Code adequately
addresses the concerns of the property owners without compromising the overall
intent of the Code. We believe that additional changes would go beyond that
point in which the intent of the Code can be preserved. Therefore, staff is not
prepared to recommend any additional Code changes.
Page 1
In addition to the Code, Schrimsher representatives have made known their
desires to combine adoption of the Code with a development agreement that
would include among other things:
1. Approval of specific site plan for proposed developments, and
2. Agreements for the City to provide certain infrastructure to the sit~, and
economic concessions such as impact fee relief.
Staff is strongly opposed to bundling of code and development issues and
believes that it is definitely not in the best interest of the City to proceed in this
fashion for several reasons as follows:
1. The Code needs to stand on its own merits. The Code should not be
held hostage to future projects or provisions of infrastructure that may
or may not happen. Any and all infrastructure and economic
concessions should be worked out with developers based upon their
contribution to the Town Center and issues specific to their proposed
developments. I do not, under any conditions desire to be
neqotiatinq site specific issues or economic concessions with a
party that is not authorized to enter into a bindinq aqreement with
the City for a specific development. I am unaware of the land
sellers in this case to havinQ this authority on behalf of a
developer. It is staffs recommendation that this matter should be
worked out within the following framework.
A. Code Adoption: Adoption of the Code based upon its merits
without consideration to any future development projects that may
or may not happen and without considerations for infrastructure or
any other forms of monetary considerations.
B. Acquisition Agreements: Acquisition agreements with the various
property owners providing for the acquisition of public areas on a
value for value basis. Infrastructure could be considered in these
agreements as valuable considerations in a land acquisition. This
agreement could also address any trail development issues.
C. Development Agreements: Development agreements with
developers relative to specific development proposals. This is the
most appropriate place for consideration for site specific issues,
infrastructure and economic concessions
The proposed District Boundary has been adjusted to delete the property on the
south side of State Road 434 owned by Springs Land Inv. Ltd.
Page 2
POLICY ISSUES:
There are three issues the Commission needs to decide relative to that proposed
Commission action recommended by staff.
1. Does the Commission find a need to amend any provision of the latest
draft of the proposed code and related Town Center boundary? _
2. Does the Commission desire to enter into a development agreement
that combines code, land acquisition, and land development issues in
one document, or to proceed as recommended by staff to separate
code, land acquisition and land development issues into separate
actions?
3. Is the Commission comfortable initiating the trail relocation process
with the County and the developers?

I. INTENT
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 Code
is based on that plan. Traditional urban design conventions
have been applied to create a pallette of squares, parks, and
street types that form the framework for the town center.
niese conventions are derived from a num her of sources in
planning literature including the following: Civic Art by
Hegemann and Peets, Great Streets by Allan B. Jacobs,
The New Urbanism by Peter Katz, and AlA Graphic
Standards. 9th Edition
This document repeals the Town Center Overlay Zoning
District Regulations of September 8, 1997 (Ordinance
#676). Should any conflict arise between the provisions of
this Code and other local land development regulations for
the City of Winter Springs, the provisions of this Code
shall apply. To the extent that this code is silent where
other codes govern. they shall apply.
A. How To Use This Code:
1. Determine whether your use is permitted in the
Town Center.
2. Review the General Provisions which apply
throughout the district.
3. Determine which Street Type your lot fronts. (If
you have a comer lot, you must determine the primary
space or street based on the hierarchy on page 10.)
4. Next, review section VI. for provisions about the
Street Type, Square, or Park that corresponds to the
lot.
5. Finally, review the Building. Elements and
Architectural Guidelines which contain specific rules

B. Alleys:
Alleys are required in88~SrEK8El in the town
center to minimize curb cuts and to provide access

drive aisles.
C. Corner Radii & Clear Zones:
e
Comer curb radii shall be between 9 feet and 15
feet. Fairly tight turning radii shorten pedestrian

comers, a 25 foot radius Clear Zone shall be
established free of all vertical obstructions
including but not limited telephone poles, sign
poles, fire hydrants,. ele trical oxes, or

X. Single vs. Dou ble Loaded Roads:
Segments of single loaded Edge Drive are
designated for portions of the masterplan in order
to provide public access to significant natural
areas and to enhance these significant natural
areas by facing them with the fronts of buildings.
Single loaded Edge Drive may. by special
exception. be replaced with a double loaded
alternative. Double loaded roads may be
appropriate in locations where there is no
significant natural view or in rare circumstances
where no significant negative visual impact will
be created by having the developed properties
back up to the natural area or park space.
H. Large Footprint Buildings:
Buildings with a footprint greater than 20,000
square feet may be built within the Town Center
District by special exception only. Such buildings
must abide by all rules in this code with the
following special limitations:
