ORC REPORT
[ Pertaining to the propos~'d GreeneWay Interchange District Future Land Use Map
designation]
2. The following objection is raised to amendment LG-CPA-2-97 proposing to amend the
text of the Future Land Use Element to incorporate the "State Road 434 Corridor Vision
Plan" vision statement and goals, objectives and policies.
a. Obiection: The City did not provide data and analysis supporting the proposed goals,
objectives and policies.
") Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2), and 9J-5.006(1), (2), (3), and (4),
.' F.A:C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis in support of the proposed amendment. Data and
analysis may detail the concepts the City wishes to encourage, maps depicting the areas affected
by the proposed amendment, a description of the current conditions, needs and desired future
conditions based on the results of the public participation and workshops held to develop the
proposed amendment. The City should use the best available existing data.
3. The following objections are raised to amendment LG-CPA-3-97 proposing to create a
new Future Land Use Category: Greenway Interchange District and re-designate 250 .acres
currently designated as Mixed-use and <;::onservation.
a. Objection: The amendment does not indicate how many acres of Conservation and Mixed-use
designated land will be changed to the new designation nor was a revised future land use map
that depicts the new land use submitted for review.
Section 163.3 I 77(6)(a), F.S. and Rule 91-5.005(2), and 9J-5.006(4)(a), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendment to indicate the acreage of the current land uses and
the proposed land uses based on the results of the analyses recommended below. Provide a
')' future land use map that depicts the new land uses. Those lands that are currently designated as
Conservation should retain thal c1csigll(\lion.
")
)
b. Objection: The City did not provide adequate data and analysis demonstrating that the site is
either suitable for the proposed land use or that the proposed land uses are compatible with the
adjacent land uses and the protection of natural resources both on and off-site.
Sections 163.3177(6)(a) and (6)(d), F.S.; and Rules 91-5.005(2)(a), 91-5.006(1), (2)(b), (2)(e),
(3)(b) and (4), and 91-5.013(3), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis which assesses the suitability of the site for
development at the increased intensities of land use based on the character of the undeveloped
land. This analysis should include, but not be limited to the following: (1) a comparison of the
proposed land use to the current approved land use, include maps depicting the current approved
land uses and existing and future land uses adjacent to.the amendment site; and (2) an
identification of the character of the amendment site considering soils, vegetation, floodplains,
and wildlife habitat.' .
The analysis should identify what level of development would be appropriate in order to
ensure the protection and continued viability of natural resources both on-and off-site. The
analysis should then identify what future land use category is the most appropriate for the site
considering the impacts of development allowable under that land use category.
,)
To support development of higher density or intensity than that allowable under the
current designation, the site must be demonstrated to be suitable for the maximum amount of
development allowed under the proposed land use(s) and that such development is compatible
with adjacent land uses. The amendment should ensure that land uses which are incompatible
with the protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions are directed away from
wetlands.
This analysis should also identify how protection would be provided (i.e., guidelines and
limitations on development consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan). The amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be
consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
c. Objection: The proposed change for the lands currently designated as Conservation to
Greenway Interchange District is not consistent with plan requirements to protect and preserve
wetlands, Lake Jesup, and environmentally sensitive areas from the impacts of incompatible
uses.
Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (6)(d), and (8), F.S.; and Rules 91-5.005(2), 91-5.006(2) and (4), and 9J-
5.013(1) and (3), F.A.C.
')
Recommendation: The City should revise the proposed amendment to retain the Conservation
designation On all portions of the subject parcel currently designated as Conservation. The City
should also provide data and analysis which demonstrates that the proposed land use is
compatible with the protection and preservation of these environmentally sensitive areas. The
amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by
the data and analysis.

d. Objection: 1l1e City did not provide data and analysis demonstrating that it requires this
increase in lp.nd use residential density and intensity of land uses is needed to accommodate the
City's projected population growth and land use needs through the planning timeframe.
Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 91-5.005(2)(a); 91-5.006(2)(c)I, (4), and (5),
F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendment to include data and analysis addressing the need for
additional medium density residential and commercial land use acreage. An inventory of the
current vacant acreage of existing land use categories should be provided. An analysis (in terms
of acreage need compared to acreage availability) of the adequacy of this inventory to
accommodate the projected population should be proyided. Increases in the projected population
over that originally projected may be one basis for supporting this amendment. Revise the
amendment as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
e. Obiection: The City did not provide any data and analysis addressing the availability of
public facilities for the proposed land uses. The amendment does indicate that facilities would be
available, however, no analysis of the potential demand (based on the densities and intensities of
the Greenway Interchange District land use category), or the available capacities was provided.
No data and analysis was provided to address the impacts of the proposed land uses upon the
roadway network.

(3); 9J-5.006(2)(a), (3)(b)1, (4) and (5), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis which assesses the availability of and demand on
the following public facilities for the property based on the proposed land use: sanitary sewer,
solid waste, drainage, potable water, and traffic circulation based upon the maximum
development potential for the proposed land use. This analysis should identify the impacts upon
the level of service standards for each facility. If improvements are necessary , these should be
identified along with the associated costs and the ability of the City to finance the improvements.
The amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and
supported by the data and analysis.

3. The following objections are raised to:amendment LG-CPA-3-97 proposing to create a new Futurc
Land Use Category: Greeneway Interchange District and re-designate 250 acres currently designated as
Mixed-use and Conservation.
a. Objection; The amendment does not indicate how many acres of Conservation and Mixed-use designated
land will be changed to the new designation nor was a revised future land use map that depicts the new land use
submitted for review.
Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S. and Rule 9J-5~005(2), and 9J-5.006(4)(~), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendmentito indicate the acreage of the current land uses and the proposed land
, .
uses based on the results of the analyses re~ommended below. Provide a future land use map that depicts the
new land uses. Those lands that are curren~ly designated as Conservation should retain that designation.
Response to Objection:
The current future land use map designates: the :t250 acre parcel included in the amendment as Mixed-Use and
Conservation. The Mixed-Use area is approximately 166 acres and the Conservation area is approximately 84
acres. The Conservation designation is based on a preliminary assessment that identified the 84 acres as a mix of
)ydric ~ammock and Har~wood Swamp: The actual ext~nt of~e Conservation ar~ will be as determined by
. field revIew by State agencies (ConservatIOn Element DbJ. B Pohcy 2). A map showmg the current future land
use is attached.
The intent of the amendment was to design'ate the :t250 acre parcel as the Greeneway Interchange District.
Because it is in one ownership, it would function much the same way as an overlay district. The area designated
Conservation on the current map would remain as Conservation on the proposed map and would be subject to all
the Objectives and Polices contained in the Conservation Element. This allows the property owner to utilize the
Conservation area tosatisfy Open.space requirements. This serves as an incentive to protect the area designated
as jurisdictional wetlands rather than have the property owner apply to i~pact wetlands and provide other forms
of mitigation. The area designated as Mixed-Use (166 acres) would be exchanged for a Greeneway Interchange
District designation. A map is attached that shows the proposed land use mix for the :t250 acre parceL
The summary of the acreage for the current and proposed land use designations for the :t250 acre parcel are
shown below:

~5.013(3), F.A.C
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis, which assesses the suitability of the site for development at the
increased intensities of land use, based on the character of the undeveloped land. This analysis should include,
but not be limited to the following: (1) a comparison of the proposed land use to the current approved land use,
include maps depicting the current approved land uses and existing and future land uses adjacent to the
amendment site; and (2) an identification of the character of the amendment site considering soils, vegetation,
floodplains, and wildlife habitat.
The analysis should identify what level of development woul~ be appropriate in order to ensure the protection
and continued viability of natural resources both on-and off-site. .The analysis should then identify what future
land use category is the most appropriate for the site considering the impacts of development allowable under
.
that land use category.
To support development of higher density or intensity than that allowable under the current designation, the site
must be demonstrated to be suitable for the maximum amount of development allowed under the proposed land
use(s) and that such development is compatible with adjacent land uses. The amendment should ensure that land
uses which are incompatible with the protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions are directed
away from wetlands,
lbis analysis should also identify how prot;ection would be provided (i.e., guidelines and limitations on
development consistent with the goals, obj~ctives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan). The
. 'f11endment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and
..-Jnalysis.
Response to Objection:
A map is attached depicting adjacent uses to the :1::250 acre parcel addressed in the amendment. As shown on the
map, the area proposed to be developed with the active uses permitted in the Greeneway Interchange District are
adjacent to areas designated as urban uses with similar densities and intensities.
The Greeneway Interchange District is appropriately located at the intersection of a major expressway and state
road which is a major arterial. The site is bounded on two sides by major arterials.

), shown in the table and the attached map, the area designated for aclive lIses is compatible with the adjoining
off site lIses. The County enclave to the north is currently designated as Suburban Estates at I dwelling unit per
acre. The owners oftlle l11ajority oflhe undeveloped acreage to the north have applied to the City of Winter
Springs for annexation. They ;lre requesting low density resic!t:n{lal at a Illaxilnlllll dellsity of 3.5 dwelling units
''per acre. TIle design guidelines for the Greeneway Interchange District that have been drafted for adoption
include performance standards for setbacks and buffers. Buffers are required between different land uses, both
on and off site. Setbacks and buffers vary depending on the differences in intensity of adjacent uses. Adequate
measures are contained in the design guidelines to protect less intense uses on or offsite. It is concluded that the
proposed Greeneway Interchange District is highly compatible with surrounding adjacent uses.
The area within the Greeneway Interchangy District designated for active uses is the same area that was
previously designated as Mixed-Use. The JYlixed-Use area was proposed for a mix of residential and commercial
uses of similar intensity as being proposed ~n the Greeneway Interchange District. When the future land map
was originally developed, the area designated as Mixed-Use was determined to be suitable for urban uses. The
area of the x250 acre parcel thought to be unsuitable for development was designated as Conservation. This will
not change with the current amendment.
.
The primary soil types identified by the U~DA Soil Conservation Service that are found in the area outside the
Conservation area are shown in the table below.

The area outside the Conservation area is n'ot within the 100-year flood area.
The area outside the Conservation area is improved pasture and citrus grove. The area of the site with the
potential for significant wildlife habitat is within the area designated as Conservation.
c. Obiection: The proposed change for the' lands currently designated as Conservation to Greenway Interchange
District is not consistent with plan requirements to protect and preserve wetlands. Lake Jesup, and
environmentally sensitive areas from the impacts of incompatible uses.
Sections 163.3 1 77(6)(a), (6)(d), and (8), f.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2), 9J-5.006(2) and (4), and 9J-5.013( I) and

. consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
Response to Objection:
As previously discussed, the area currentlyidesignated as Conservation will remain Conservation.
d. Obiection: The City did not provide data and analysis demonstrating that it requires this increase in land use
residential density and intensity of land uses is needed to accommodate the City's projected population growth
and land use needs through the planning timeframe.
Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(a); 9J-5.006(2)(c)l, (4), and (5), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendmen1!to include data and analy:sis addressing the need for additional
medium density residenti~1 and commercia;1land use acreage. An inventory of the current vacant acreage of
existing land use categories should be pro'1ded. An analysis (in tenns of acreage need compared to acreage
availability) of the adequacy of this inventqry to acconunodate the projected population should be provided.
Increases in the projected population over ~at originally projected may be one basis for supporting this
amendment. Revise the amendment as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
Response to Objection:
). The current Mixed-Use designation allows!a mix of residential and commercial uses. The proposed Greeneway
Interchange District also proposes a mix of residential and commercial uses. The total developed area remains
the same (166 acres) under the current and proposed land use designations. The intent of the Greeneway
Interchange District is to encourage the development of more nonresidential development than was allowed
under the Mixed-Use district. The City of\Vinter Springs is heavily dependent on a residential tax base to
finance the needs of the City. Approximately 90% of the tax base is residential. Very little undeveloped property
that is not environmentally sensitive is available in the City to remedy this imbalance. The proposed amendment
is a way to promote an increase in nonresidential development without decreasing the residential component. By
allowing a higher d~j1Sity in the Greeneway Interchange District. the number of residential units can be
maintained while maintaining the same overall acreage devoted to urban uses of similar density and intensities.
The comparison below illustrates the point!

Avera e residential densi
There is a total of approximately 401 acres:outside of environmentally sensitive areas left in the City for
development. The analysis outlined above demonstrates that the City does not have adequate land available to
satisfy the projected demand for residential. The Greeneway Interchange District encourages higher density
residential on less land; therefore, the approval of this amendment helps to alleviate the projected shortfall of
residential acreage.
As previously noted, the City's tax base is heavily dependent on residential uses. In recent years, the City has
seen a decline in the amount ofland availaple for commercial development. Two areas along SR 434 that were
designated on the future land use map for <!:ommercial have been developed as residential. The two projects are
shown below:

35 acres

TIIC Greeneway Interchange District can potentially add 41.5 acres of commercial over what would be possible
}ith the Mixed-Use designation. This is offsct by the loss of 49 acres of commercial in thc Parkstonc and
Stonegablc projects. Also, if the cOll1mercial area is increased in size, there will be a corres[Jonding decrcase in
residenti;ll acres.
In ;Iddilioll, the Mixed-Use dcsign:\tioll \\,;IS :,ssi!.',llcd prior to the (Jrecllc\v;lY bcing pi:lllllCd or cOllstrllcted This
\llerchange is a significant change in the character of the area. Higher density residential and commercial uses
are appropriate uses adjacent an interchang'e such as this.
The Greeneway Interchange Districti$-alsd located approximately seven miles south of the Orlando Sanford
Airport. TIlis fast growing airport is show{ng a strong increase in international charter flights and cargo. This
I
airport, which was previously a military ba;se and airport, has adequate size to become a significant economic
generator for Seminole County. !
Winter Springs has primarily been an afflu~nt bedroom community for employment centers in Orange County to
the south. The Greeneway Interchange District will provide opportunities to create an employment center closer
to the major residential areas in Winter Spi;ings. .
e. Obiection: The City did not provide anY, data, and analysis addressing the availability ofpublic facilities for

Central water and sewer service is plannedito be extended by.the developers of the Battle Ridge development
along SR 434 in frO/it of the Greeneway Interchange District. As development comes on line, such as within the
Greeneway Interchange District, they will reimburse the developers of Battle Ridge for a portion of the cost of
the water and sewer facilities. These facilities are currently being designed and the size of the lines have not
been finalized. The City has the capacity to serve the Greeneway Interchange with sewer as shown by the

The City has adequate capacity to supply t~e Greeneway Interchange District with potable water.
The development will be required to meet the stormwater standards of the SJRWD (Infrastructure Element:
Storm Drainage Section, Obj. B) Policy 1).
The proposed Greeneway Interchange Distpct will benefit from the recent 4-laning of SR 434 and the
construction of the Greeneway. SR 434 is ~urrently operating at a LOS "B". In the year 2000, it is projected to
operate at LOS "B" and "C". The roadwaYlsystem can accommodate the proposed development. Concurrency
will effectively prohibit development from~reducing the LOS below an acceptable level.
f. Obiection: The City did not provide data and analysis demonstrating that the proposed amendment is
I
compatible with plan requirements to prot~ct and preserve historic resources.
Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (6)(g) 10, F.S.; .and Rules 9J-5.005(2) and 9J-5.006(2)(b)5, F.A.C.
Recommendation: The City should proviqe data and analysis demonstrating that the proposed amendment is
consistent with plan requirements to identify, protect and preserve historical and archaeological resources from
the impacts of the proposed development. ~evise the amendment as necessary, to be consistent with and
supported by the data and analysis.
Response to Objection:
~xisting maps compiled by Seminole County were reviewed and it was determined that there are no known
historical or archaeological resources within the :1:250 acre parcel.
(!. Obiection: The proposed amendment has not been demonstrated to be compatible with plan goals, objectives
and policies, including, but not limited to t~e following: Objective C of the Traffic Circulation Element;
Objectives A. B and C and associated polities of the Conservation Element; Objective C and Policy I of the
Capital Improvements Element; and Goal F, Objective A, Policy 3, Goal 2, Objective A, Policy I and 3g, and

completed, especially such projects as "meandering" sidewalks, lighting and other pedestrian-
oriented projects. He further stated that the plan was written to be "all-inclusive and to be
flexible, and to provide opportunities for improvements along this corridor."
Mr. Easton then discussed the tax increment issue, providing continuity throughout the entire
corridor, redeveloping the sites on the corridor that currently have a negative impact, and the
proposed Board of Directors to oversee this project. He also discussed how Casselbeny and
Sanford have already established their own CRA's and how we could all work. together and make
significant progress.
Vice Chairman Brown confirmed that we were in Area Two (2) - the "Winter Springs/Spring
Hammock" area. Chairman Fernand~z thtn asked how was the Redevelopment Area determined?
Mr. Easton explained that the boundary was deterInined by a number of factors to include breadth
of space, property lines, natural features and changes in land use.
"We as the Local Planning Agency reconunend to the City Commission that they do pass the
Resolution in support of the County for initiation of 17/92 CRA Corridor Redevelopment Plan."

Tom Grinuns presented staffs findings and .reconunendations regarding the creation of a new
future land ~se map designation - the "GreeneWay Interchange District." Mr. Grinuns mentioned
to the Board that since they have received their information package for this evening's meeting,
there has been a further development: an "interim development agreement has been tendered."
Mr. Grinuns elaborated by saying that "if the interim development agreement is agreeable to the
property owner, and they execute it with the City, then this property is pulled out of the New
Development Area Overlay Zoning District." This matter is scheduled to go before the City
Commission on November 24, 1997.
Margaret (Missy) Cassells, 907 Old England Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789 spoke further
on this issue~ Gene Lein asked "if after all the time periods are concerned, and Missy doesn't
come back in with the property...does that deeply affect the Development...New Development
Area?" Charles Carrington responded that basically "all it is...is a written agreement between both
parties that the City and the property owner will work diligently during the next eighteen months
to accomplish these tasks...that have to be accomplished to realize this new district." There was
further discussion on this subject.

ORC REPORT
[ Pcrtaining to thc propos.(~\d GI'ccneWay Interchange District Futurc Land Use Map
designation]
2. The following objection is raised to amendment LG-CP A-2-97 proposing to amend the
text of the Future Land Use Element to incorporate the "State Road 434 Corridor Vision
Plan" vision statement and goals, objectives and policies.
a. Objection: The City did not provide data and analysis supporting the proposed goals,
objectives and policies.
) Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2), and 9J-5.006(1), (2), (3), and (4),
F.A~C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis in support of the proposed amendment. Data and
analysis may detail the concepts the City wishes to encourage, maps depicting the areas affected
by the proposed. amendment, a description of the current conditions, needs and desired future
conditions based on the results of the public participation and workshops held to develop the
proposed amendment. The City should use the best available existing data.
3. The foilowing objections are raised to amendment LG-CPA-3-97 proposing to create a
ncw Future Land Use Category: Greenway Interchange District and re-designate 250 .acres
currently designated as Mixed-use and (:onservation.
a. Objection: The amendment does not indicate how many acres of Conservation and Mixed-use
designated land will be changed to the new designation nor was a revised future land use map
that depicts the new land use submitted for review.
Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.005(2), and 9J-5.006(4)(a). F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendment to indicate the acreage of the current land uses and
the proposed land uses based on the results of the analyses recommended below. Provide a
future land use map that depicts the ncw land uses. Those lands that are currently designatcd as
) Conservation should relain Ihal desiglwlion.
")
)
b. Objection: Thc City did not provide adequatc data and analysis demonstrating that thc sitc is
either suitable for the proposed land usc or that the [Jroposedland uses arc compatible with the
adjacent land uses and the protection of natural resources both on and off-site.
Sections 163.3177(6)(a) and (6)(d), F.S.; and Rules 91-S.00S(2)(a), 91-S.006(1), (2)(b), (2)(e),
(3)(b) and (4), and 91-5.013(3), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis which assesses the suitability of the site for
development at the increased intensities of land use based on the character of the undeveloped
land. This analysis should include, but not be limited to the following: (1) a comparison of the
proposed land use to the current approved land use, include maps depicting the current approved
land uses and existing and future land uses adjacent to the amendment site; and (2) an
identification of the character of the amendment site considering soils, vegetation, floodplains,
and wildlife habitat. .
The analysis should identify what level of development would be appropriate in order to
ensure the protection and continued viability of natural resources both on-and off-site. The
analysis should then identify what future land use category is the most appropriate for the site
considering the impacts of development allowable under that land use category.
)
To support development of higher density or intensity than that allowable under the
current designation, the site must be demonstrated to be suitable for the maximum amount of
development allowed under the proposed land use(s) and that such development is compatible
with adjacent land uses. The amendment should ensure that land uses which are incompatible
with the protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions are directed away from
wetlands.
This analysis should also identify how protection would be provided (i.e., guidelines and
limitations on development consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan). The amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be
consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
c. Obiection: The proposed change for the lands currently designated as Conservation to
Greenway Interchange District is not consistent with plan requirements to protect and preserve
wetlands, Lake Jesup, and environmentally sensitive areas from the impacts of incompatible
uses.
Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (6)(d), and (8), F.S.; and Rules 91-5.005(2), 91-5.006(2) and (4), and 91-
5.013(1) and (3), F.A.C.
)
Recommendation: The City should revise the proposed amendment to retain the Conservation
designation on all portions of the subject parcel currently designated as Conservation. The City
should also provide data and analysis which demonstrates that the proposed land use is
compatible with the protection and preservation of these environmcntally sensitivc areas. The
amcndment should be rcviscd and amended, as nccessary, to be consistcnt with and supported by
the data and analysis.
:;
)
d. Objection: 'n1e City did not provide c1ata and analysis demonstrating that it requircs this
increase in land LIse residential density and intensity of land uses is needed to accommodate the
City's projected population growth and land usc nceds through the planning timeframe.
Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(a); 9J-5.006(2)(c)1 ,(4), and (5),
F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendment to include data and analysis addressing the need for
additional medium density residential and conunercialland use acreage. An inventory of the
current vacant acreage of existing land use categories should be provided. An analysis (in terms
of acreage need compared to acreage availability) of the adequacy of this inventory to
accommodate the projected population should be provided. Increases in the projected population
over that originally projected may be one basis for supporting this amendment. Revise the
amendment as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
e. Ob1ection: The City did n.ot provide any data and analysis addressing the availability of
public facilities for the proposed land uses. The amendment does indicate that facilities would be
available, however, no analysis of the potential demand (based on the densities and intensities of
the Greenway Interchange District land use category), or the available capacities was provided.
No data and analysis was provided to address the impacts of the proposed land uses upon the
roadway network.
Sections 163.3177(2), (3)(a), (6)(a), (8), (IO)(h) and (10)0), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(a) and
(3); 9J-5.006(2)(a), (3)(b) 1 , (4) and (5), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Provide data and analysis which assesses the availability of and demand on
the following public facilities for the property based on the proposed land use: sanitary sewer,
solid waste, drainage, potable: water, and traffic circulation based upon the maximum
development potential for the proposed land use. This analysis should identify the impacts upon
the level of service standards for each facility. If improvements are necessary, these should be
identified along with the associated costs and the ability of the City to finance the improvements.
The amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and
supported by the data and analysis.
f. Objection: The City did not provide data and analysis demonstrating that the proposed
amendment is compatible with plan requirements to protect and preserve historic resources.
Section 163.3 I 77(6)(a) and (6)(g) I 0, F.S.; and Rules 91-5.005(2) and 9J-5.006(2)(b)5, F.A.C.
Recommendation: The City should provide data and analysis demonstrating that the proposed
amendment is consistent with plan requirements to identify, protect and preserve historical and
archaeological resources from the impacts of the proposed development. Revise the amendment
as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.

e. Objection: The proposed amendmcnt has not becn demonstrated to be compatible with plan
goals, objectives and policics, including, but not limitcd to the following: Objectivc C ofthc
II
Traffic Circulation Element; Objectives A, 8 and C and associated policies of the Conservation

Recommendation: Revise the amendment~to indicate the acreage of the current land uses and the proposed land
uses based on the results of the analyses re~ommended below. Provide a future land use map that depicts the
new land uses. Those lands that are currently designated as Conservation should retain that designation.
Response to Objection:
The current future land use map designates: the :1:250 acre parcel included in the amendment as Mixed-Use and
Conservation. The Mixed-Use area is approximately 166 acres and the Conservation area is approximately 84
acres. The Conservation designation is based on a preliminary assessment that identified the 84 acres as a mix of
)Iydric Hammock and Hardwood Swamp. The actual extent of the Conservation area will be as determined by
- 'field review by State agencies (Consel\fation Element Obj. B Policy 2). A map showing the current future land
use is attached.
The intent of the amendment was to designate the :1:250 acre parcel as the Greeneway Interchange District.
Because it is in one ownership, it would function much the same way as an overlay district. The area designated
Conservation on the' current map would remain as Conservation on the proposed map and would be subject to all
the Objectives and Polices contained in the Conservation Element. This allows the property owner to utilize the
Conservation area to satisfy Open.Spaa~ requirements. This serves as an incentive to protect the area designated
as jurisdictional wetlands rather than have the property owner apply to i':llpact wetlands and provide other forms
of mitigation. The area designated as Mixed-Use (166 acres) would be exchanged for a Greeneway In~erchange
District designation. A map is attached that shows the proposed land use mix for the :1:250 acre parceL
The summary of the acreage for the current and proposed land use designations for the :1:250 acre parcel are

Recommendation: Provide data and analysis, which assesses the suitability of the site for development at the
increased intensities of land use, based on the character of the undeveloped land. This analysis should include,
but not be limited to the following: (1) a cQmparison of the proposed land use to the current approved land use,
include maps depicting the current approved land uses and existing and future land uses adjacent to the
amendment site; and (2) an identification of the character of the amendment site considering soils, vegetation,
floodplains, and wildlife habitat.
The analysis should identify what level of development would be appropriate in order to ensure the protection
and continued viability of natural resources both on-and off-site. The analysis should then identify what future
land use category is the most appropriate for the site considering the impacts of development allowable under
that land use category.
To support development of higher density or intensity than that allowable under the current designation, the site
must be demonstrated to be suitable for the maximum amount of development allowed under the proposed land
use(s) and that such development is compatible with adjacent land uses. The amendment should ensure that land
uses which are incompatible with the protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions are directed
away from wetlands,
1bis analysis should also identify how pro~ection would be provided (i.e., guidelines and limitations on
development consistent with the goals, objbctives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan). The
)ffiendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and
. .lnalysis.
Response to Objection:
A map is attached depicting adjacent uses to the :1:250 acre parcel addressed in the amendment. As shown on the
map, the area proposed to be developed with the active uses permitted in the Greeneway Interchange District are
adjacent to areas designated as urban uses with similar densities and intensities.
The Greeneway Interchange District is appropriately located at the intersection of a major expressway and state
road which is a major arterial. The site is bounded on two sides by major arterials.

per acre. The design guidelines for the Grecneway Interchange District that have been drafted for adortion
include performance standards for setbacks and buffers. Buffers arc required between different land uses, both
on and off site. Setbacks and buffers vary depending on the differences in intensity of adjacent uses. Adequate
measures are contained in the design guidelines to protect less intense uses on or offsite. It is concluded that the
proposed Greeneway Interchange District is highly compatible with surrounding adjacent uses.
The area within the Greeneway Interchangy District designated for active uses is the same area that was
previously designated as Mixed-Use. The iYlixed-Use area was proposed for a mix of residential and commercial
uses of similar intensity as being proposed ~n the Greeneway Interchange District. When the future land map
was originally developed, the area designated as Mixed-Use was determined to be suitable for urban uses. The
area of the :1:250 acre parcel thought to be unsuitable for development was designated as Conservation. This will
not change with the current amendment.

c. Objection: The proposed change for the' lands currently designated as Conservation to Greenway Interchange
District is not consistent with plan requirements to rrotect and preserve wetlands. Lake Jesup, and
environmentally sensitive areas from the impacts of incompatible uses.
Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (6)(d), and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2), 9J-5.006(2) and (4), and 9J-5.0 13( I) and

d. Obiection: The City did not provide data and analysis demonstrating that it requires this increase in land use
residential density and intensity of land uses is needed to accommodate the City's projected population growth
and land use needs through the planning timeframe.
Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(a); 9J-5.006(2)(c)l, (4), and (5), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the amendmentito include data and analysis addressing the need for additional
medium density residential and commercia.;1land use acreage. An inventory of the current vacant acreage of
existing land use categories should be pro'1ded. An analysis (in terms of acreage need compared to acreage
availability) of the adequacy of this inventqry to accommodate the projected population should be provided.
Increases in the projected population over ~at originally projected may be one basis for supporting this
amendment. Revise the amendment as necessary, to be consistent with and supported by the data and analysis.
Response to Objection:
The current Mixed-Use designation allows!a mix of residential and commercial uses. The proposed Greeneway
)Interchange District also proposes a mix of residential and commercial uses. The total developed area remains
the same (166 acres) under the current and:proposed land use designations. The intent of the Greeneway
Interchange District is to encourage the development of more nonresidential development than was allowed
under the Mixed-Use district. The City of Winter Springs is heavily dependent on a residential tax base to
finance the needs of the City. Approximately 90% of the tax base is residential. Very little undeveloped property
that is not environmentally sensitive is available in the City to remedy this imbalance. The proposed amendment
is a way to promote an increase in nonresidential development without decreasing the residential component. By
allowing a higher density in the Greeneway Interchange District, the number of residential units can be
maintained while maintaining the same overall acreage devoted to urban uses of similar density and intensities.

There is a total of approximately 401 acres:outside of environmentally sensitive areas left in the City for
development. The analysis outlined above demonstrates that the City does not have adequate land available to
satisfy the projected demand for residential. The Greeneway Interchange District encourages higher density
residential on less land; therefore, the approval of this amendment helps to alleviate the projected shortfall of
residential acreage.
As previously noted, the City's tax base is heavily dependent on residential uses. In recent years, the City has
seen a decline in the amount ofland availaple for commercial development. Two areas along SR 434 that were
designated on the future land use map for d:ommercial have been developed as residential. The two projects are
shown below:

are appropriate uses adjacent an interchange such as this.
The Greeneway Interchange District is also located approximately seven miles south of the Orlando Sanford
Airport. TIlis fast growing airport is showi:ng a strong increase in international charter flights and cargo. TIlis
airport, which was previously a militalY b~e and airport, has adequate size to become a significant economic
generator for Seminole County.

Winter Springs has primarily been an afflu~nt bedroom community for employment centers in Orange County to
the south. The Greeneway Interchange Dis~rict will provide opportunities to create an employment center closer
to the major residential areas in Winter Spf:ings.
e. Obiection: The City did not provide anY, data, and analysis addressing the availability of public facilities for
the proposed land uses. The amendment d~es indicate that facilities would be available, however, no analysis of
the potential demand (based on the densities and intensities of the Greeneway Interchange District land use
category), or the available capacities was provided. No data and analysis was provided to address the impacts of
the proposed land uses upon the roadway network,

Recommendation: Provide data and analy~is which assesses the availability of and demand on the following
public facilities for the property based on t?e proposed land use: sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable

'analysis should identify the impacts upon ~e level of service standards for each facility. Ifimprovements are
necessary, these should be identified along!with the associated costs and the ability of the City to finance the
improvements. The amendment should be revised and amended, as necessary, to be consistent with and
supported by the data and analysis.
Response to Objection:
Central water and sewer service is plalU1ed!to be extended by.the developers of the Battle Ridge development
along SR 434 in front of the Greeneway Interchange District. As development comes on line, such as within the
Greeneway Interchange District, they will reimburse the developers of Battle Ridge for a portion of the cost of
the water and sewer facilities. These [aGilities are currently being designed and the size of the lines have not
been finalized. The City has the capacity to serve the Greeneway Interchange with sewer as shown by the

The proposed Greeneway Interchange Distrct will benefit from the recent 4-laning of SR 434 and the
construction of the Greeneway. SR 434 is 4urrently operating at a LOS "B". In the year 2000, it is projected to
operate at LOS "B" and "C". The roadwaYlsystem can accommodate the proposed development. Concurrency
will effectively prohibit development from!reducing the LOS below an acceptable level.

flexible, and to provide opportunities for improvemcnts along this conidor."
Mr. Easton then discussed the tax increment issue, providing continuity throughout the entire
corridor, redeveloping the sites on the conidor that currently have a negative impact, and the
proposed Board of Directors to oversee this project. He also discussed how Casselberry and
Sanford have already established their own CRA's and how we could all work. together and make
significant progress.
Vice Chairman Brown confirmed that we were in Area Two (2) - the "Winter Springs/Spring
Hammock" area. Chairman Fernandez thtn~ asked how was the Redevelopment Area determined?
Mr. Easton explained that the boundary was determined by a number of factors to include breadth
of space, property lines, natural features and changes in land use.
"We as the Local Planning Agency recommend to the City Commission that they do pass the
Resolution in support of the County for initiation of 17/92 CRA Conidor Redevelopment Plan."

Tom Grimms presented staifs findings and .recommendations regarding the creation of a new
future land use map designation - the "Greene Way Interchange District." Mr. Grimms mentioned
to the Board that since they have received their information package for this evening's meeting,
there has been a further development: an "interim development agreement has been tendered."
Mr. Grimms elaborated by saying that "if the interim development agreement is agreeable to the
property owner, and they execute it with the City. then this property is pulled out of the New
Development Area Overlay Zoning District." This matter is scheduled to go beforc the City
Commission on November 24, 1997.
Margaret (Missy) Cassells, 907 Old England Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789 spoke further

Regular
REQUEST: The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests the
City Commission hold a public hearing for first reading of Ordinance 725 to
adopt the GreeneWay Interchange Zoning District Text and Map.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda item is to establish a new Greeneway Interchange
Zoning District that will allow for mixed uses at higher densities and intensity
of development and take advantage of the transportation nexus of the beltway
(S.R. 417 'The GreeneWay") and S.R. 434.
APPLICABLE LAW & POOl_IC POLICY:
Sec. 20-57 of the City Code 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."
Under state statutes, cities have a home rule provision to enter into agreements with property
owners to set forth standards for future use of property when a new land use designation is
imposed on the property by an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
. The City staff and consultant, in discussion with the affected property owners,
have recommended to the City Manager that a new district be created on the
