ASSUMPTIONS
Background
During the review and adoption process for the New Development Regulations, Ms. Cassells objected to the
regulations because she felt they placed an undue hardship on her property. Ms. Cassells' property had a
Mixed-Use designation that allowed up to 50% of the property to be commercial and 50% to be residential. The
argument was that the regulations negatively impacted the ability to develop the commercial portion of the
property, which was already limited by the Mixed-Use designation. As a compromise, the City Commission
entered into an agreement with Ms. Cassells that would allow time to create a new district patterned after
Seminole County's High Intensity Interchange District (IDIP). The County's IllIP District was created to
promote the development of economic generators at appropriate locations adjacent to interchanges.
Assumptions used to create the Greeneway Interchange District:
1. The Cassells property is an appropriate location for a higWy visible economic generator that takes
advantage of the transportation system and its relationship to the Orlando Sanford Airport.
2. The district would allow a greater percentage of the property to be developed as commercial and would
allow a higher density for the residential portion.
3. Rather than "recreating the wheel", it was decided that the district would be patterned after regulations that
are already in place. The regulations used were the County's IllIP District and the City of Winter Springs
New Development regulations.
4. A new future land use designation had to be created to allow the Greeneway Interchange District, which
meant that DCA had to review the proposal. By using the County's IllIP District as a model, it gives DCA
a reason to approve the proposed land use change.
5. The Greeneway Interchange District is an important gateway into the City. It also creates an identity for the
City from the Greeneway. Currently, the City has no such identification,
6. The Greeneway Interchange District would be developed as a high quality district that would be a major
asset to both the property owner and the City.
7. The process that would be followed to create the district would involve Ms. Cassells so that the end result
would be a "win-win" situation for both Ms. Cassells and the City.
