REQUEST:
The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests the City Commission
hold a public hearing for first reading and consideration of Ordinance 2000-09 adopting the large
scale comprehensive plan amendment (LG-CPA-4-99) that would change the Future Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan by replacing existing Policy 2)a., b. under Objective B of
Goal 3 with new language (as Policy 2) which would identify the land use categories in which
public schools are an allowable use and provide school siting criteria.
PURPOSE:
The plan amendment is intended to identify locations in the City where public school facilities
would be considered an allowable use in the Future Land Use Map designations, and to provide
school siting criteria.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Section 163.3177(6)(a) F.S. which states: "The future land use element must clearly identify the
land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use. When delineating the land use
categories in which public schools are and allowable use, a local government shall include in the
categories sufficient land proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs for
schools in coordination with public school boards and may establish differing criteria for schools
of different type or size. Each local government shall include lands contiguous to existing school
sites, to the maximum extent possible, within the land use categories in which public schools are
an allowable use."

CONSIDERA TIONS:
. Since the 1992 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, State growth management laws
have been changed to require that the Future Land Use Element clearly identify the
land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use and to provide
school siting criteria. Currently public schools (kindergarten through high school)
are considered an allowable use in any land use classification.
· The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element does contain language relating
to the siting of schools. This language is found in Policy 2 a, b under Objective B
of Goal 3 (page 21) which states:
Sites for new schools shall be provided to serve the growing population.
a. Public schools are allowed in any land use classification.
b. Private schools shall be permitted on a site-specific basis
considering the effects on adjacent residences or the potential
detriment to the private school of current or future surrounding
land uses.
· The proposed plan amendment would replace Policy 2) a., b. under Objective B
of Goal 3 with Policy 2) under Objective B of Goal 3 to the (Future) Land Use
Element to basically allow public school facilities in all residential land use
categories except in Recreation, Conservation, Utility Installation Future Land
Use Map designations. As it relates to schools in typical residential areas, this
approach focuses particularly on compatibility with the neighborhood and the
sufficiency of needed public facilities. Compatibility is an area of interest since
schools tend to be large non-residential land uses. Public facilities are an area of
interest due to the need for adequate transportation and utility facilities to serve
the schools.
. In addition to clearly indicating the land use categories in which public schools
are an allowable use, the new replacement policy includes criteria which
encourage the location of schools close to urban residential areas to the extent
possible and to require that efforts be made to co-locate other public facilities
with public schools. Other criteria are included to help achieve compatibility
with nearby land uses, ensure that adequate public facilities are available, and
provide sites with sufficient land area for the school facilities and environmental,
historic, and archaeological resources. It is anticipated that adoption of these
criteria in the new replacement policy would eventually result in changes to the
Land Development Code to reflect the new Comprehensive Plan criteria.

REQUEST:

The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests the City Commission
hold a first public hearing to transmit the large scale comprehensive plan amendment
(LG-CP A-4-99) to the Florida Department of Community Affairs) that would change the Future
Land Use Element of the comprehensive Plan by replacing existing Policy 2)a.) b. under Objective
B of Goal 3 with new language (as Policy 2) which would identify the land use categories in
which public schools are an allowable use and provide school siting criteria.
PURPOSE: .
The plan amendment is intended to identify locations in the City where public school facilities
would be considered an allowable use in the Future Land Use Map designations) and to provide
school siting criteria.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
The provisions of 163.3184(3)(a) F.S. which state: uEach local governing body shall transmit the
complete proposed comprehensive plan or plan amendment to the state land planning agency) the
appropriate regional planning council and water management district) the department) and the
Department of Transportation immediately following a public hearing pursuant to subsection (15)
as specified in the state land planning agency's procedural rules. The local governing body shall
also transmit a copy of the complete proposed comprehensive plan or plan amendment to any
other unit oflocal government or government agency in the state that has filed a written request
with the governing body for the plan or plan amendment."

The provisions of 163.3184(15)(b) F.S. which state: "The local governing body shall hold at least
one advertised public hearing on the proposed comprehensive plan or plan amendment as follows:
1. The first public hearing shall be held at the transmittal stage pursuant to subsection
(3). It shall be held on a weekday at least 7 days after the day that the
advertisement is published.
2. The second public hearing shall be held at the adoption stage pursuant to
subsection (7). It shall be held on a weekday at least 5 days after the day that the
second advertisement is published."
CONSIDERATIONS:
)
· The intent of the Legislature on the matter or public school location and co-
location is found in 163.3177(6)a F.S. which is to give school boards guidance on
where public schools would be allowed. Experience has shown that in some local
jurisdictions there has been unpredictability about where schools could be built.
This has led to compatibility conflicts, lengthy and expensive permitting delays and
even denials. Conversely, without positive direction school boards have
sometimes constructed new schools in locations which have induced unplanned
growth, leading to other problems.
· Since the 1992 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, State growth management laws
have been changed to require that the Future Land Use Element clearly identify the
land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use and to provide
school siting criteria. Currently public schools (kindergarten through high school)
are considered an allowable use in any land use classification.
· The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element does contain language relating
to the siting of schools. This language is found in Policy 2 a, b under Objective B
of Goal 3 (page 21) which states:
Sites for new schools shall be provided to serve the growing population.
a. Public schools are allowed in any land use classification.
b.
Private schools shall be permitted on a site-specific basis
considering the effects on adjacent residences or the potential
detriment to the private school of current or future surrounding
land uses.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Staff Report
REQUEST:
)
City staff requests the Board consider the proposed Public School Facilities Plan Amendment
which would change the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan by replacing existing
Policy 2) a., b. under Objective B ofGoaI 3 with new language (as Policy 2) which would
identify the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use and provide school
siting criteria, and make recommendation to the City Commission to transmit the proposed
amendment to the Florida Department 'of Community Affairs.
PURPOSE:
To state where in the City public school facilities would be considered an allowable use in the
Future Land Use Map designations, and provide school siting criteria.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Section 163.3177(6)(a) F.S. which states: "The future land use element must clearly identify the
land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use. When delineating the land use
categories in which public schools are and allowable use, a local government shall include in the
categories sufficient land proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs for
schools in coordination with public school boards and may establish differing criteria for schools
of different type or size. Each local government shall include lands contiguous to existing school

APPLICANT:
OWNER:
City of Winter Springs

Winter Springs, FL 32708-2799
N/A
2.
BACKGROUND:
)
Florida's rapid growth has created enormous demands on supporting
infrastructure. While the coordination of land use and public facilities such as
roads, water, sewer, stormwater, parks and solid waste has been a mainstay of the
growth management since 1985, it is increasingly apparent that the relationship
between land use and public schools is a crucial aspect of building successful and
sustainable communities. The Legislature enacted 95-341 Laws of Florid a which
required local governments to include criteria for the siting of public schools. The
school siting requirement is found also in the Florida Statutes. The intent of
163.3177(6)aF.S. is to give school boards guidance on where public schools
would be allowed. Experience has shown that in some local jurisdictions there
has been unpredictability about where schools could be built. This has led to
compatibility conflicts, lengthy and expensive permitting delays and even denials.
Conversely, without positive direction school boards have sometimes constructed
new schools in locations which have induced unplanned growth, leading to other
problems.
3.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. Since the 1992 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, State growth management
laws have been changed to require that the Future Land Use Element clearly
identify the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use
and to provide school siting criteria. Currently public schools (kindergarten
through high school) are considered an allowable use in any land use
classification.
. The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element does contain language
relating to the siting of schools. This language is found in Policy 2 a, b under
Objective B of Goal 3 (page 21) which states:

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT ANALYSIS:
NOTE:
This plan amendment is required by the State for all counties and
municipalities. The emphasis of the state requirement is to allow siting of
school facilities in as many locations as reasonably possible. The
amendment is not subject to the twice a year submission restriction for
large scale comprehensive plan amendments.

b. Private schools shall be permitted on a site-specific basis considering the

B.
PROPOSED REPLACEMENT TEXT RELATING TO SCHOOL SITING:
Public schools (kindergarten through high school) are considered an allowable use
in any areas with the following future land use designations:
Rustic Residential;
Lower Density Residential,
Moderate Density Residential;
Medium Density Residential;
Higher Density Residential;
Urban Density Residential;
Commercial;
Industrial;
Mixed Use.
Public Buildings
T own Center
These public schools shall be developed in accordance with:
))
1. the Land Development Code (to the extent that the code is not in conflict with
State or Federal requirements);
2. the requirements of any mutual agreement between the City of Winter Springs
and the Seminole County School Board which are consistent with this
Comprehensive Plan;
3. the following criteria for new public schools:
a. These schools shall be located in close proximity to existing or anticipated
concentrations of residential development except for high schools and except
for specialized schools which are suitable for other locations due to their
special characteristics.
b. They should generally be located away from industrial uses, airports,
railroads, and other facilities which might adversely impact the schools due
to noise, vibration, odors, dust, toxic materials, traffic conditions, and/or
other substantial hazards.

c. They should minimiZe detrimental impacts on residential neighborhoods,
hospitals, nursing homes, and similar uses through proper site location,
configuration, design, layout, access, parking, and buffers.
d. The school size and land area should generally satisfy the minimum standards
established by the Seminole County School Board.
e. Sites should be of sufficient size to ensure that the initial and the anticipated
buildings and other improvements can be located away from flood plains,
wetlands, and other environmentally sensitive areas and will not adversely
impact historic or archaeological resources.
Suitable potable water, sewer, storm water, and fire protection facilities
should be available to the site.
g. Sites should have frontage on or direct access to a collector or arterial road
and should have suitable ingress and egress for pedestrians, bicycles, cars,
buses, service vehicles, and emergency vehicles.
h.' The City shall seek to co-locate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and
community centers, with schools to the extent possible.
C. LAND USE CA TEGORlES
The proposed plan amendment would replace Policy 2) a., b. under Objective
B of Goal 3 with Policy 2) under Objective B of Goal 3 to the (Future) Land Use
Element to basically allow public school facilities in all residential land use
categories except in Recreation, Conservation, Utility Installation Future Land
Use Map designations. As it relates to schools in typical residential areas, this
approach focuses particularly on compatibility with the neighborhood and the
sufficiency of needed public facilities. Compatibility is an area of interest since
schools tend to be large non-residential land uses. Public facilities are an area of
interest due to the need for adequate transportation and utility facilities to serve
the schools.
D. LOCATION CRITERIA
In addition to clearly indicating the land use categories in which public schools
are an allowable use, the new replacement policy includes criteria which
encourage the location of schools close to urban residential areas to the extent
possible and to require that efforts be made to co-locate other public facilities
with public schools. Other criteria are included to help achieve compatibility with
nearby land uses, ensure that adequate public facilities are available, and provide
sites with sufficient land area for the school facilities and environmental, historic,

and archaeological resources. It is anticipated that adoption of these criteria in the
new replacement policy would eventually result in changes to the Land
Development Code to reflect the new Comprehensive Plan criteria.

A. PROPOSED LANGUAGE OF THE TOWN CENTER VISION, GOALS,
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES:
TOWN CENTER VISION:
A traditional Town Center is the physical place where many basic needs of citizens are
conveniently and tightly focused: shopping, working, governance, entertainment,
dwellings, and the arts all happen together in a town center because it is pragmatic to do
so. But the motivation to create a town center runs deeper and the payoff much greater
them. mere convenience. Human settlements have centers because human society craves
contact and connectedness. A proper town center is a symbol of the community, a
reflection of its values and aspirations. Winter Springs residents and business owners
have given clear indication to its elected leaders of their desire to create such a space in
the City to capture the young City's imagination, to project an image of its bright future,
to becorp.e a place where fond memories are born and the bonds of civil society are
forged, and becoming the most valuable real estate within the City. Relatedly, the
leadership of the City visualizes the Town Center as the root of the local and regional
economy, and the key to a sustainable tax base.
J
The City Commission of the City of Winter Springs desires to implement the requirement
of Policy 3c of Objective A under Goal 1 of the Traffic Circulation Element which
indicates that there be "creation in the undeveloped central area of Winter Springs of a
primary civic, business and service focus for the City." In accordance with 163.3167(11)
Florida Statutes, the City Commission developed a collaborative planning process
involving a series of advertised public meetings to consider input from the residents,
pro}?erty owners, business com~unity, consultants and City and county staff to formulate
a Town Center Concept Plan, and later a Town Center Design Code. It is the declaration
of the City Commission, based on the numerous public meetings, that the Town Center
will be developed in the "neo-traditional" or "new urbanism" approach, involving mixed
uses with increased densities and intensities. As part of the Town Center plan, the City
seeks to establish a partnership with the private sector in the development of the Town
Center. A Master Developer would assume a lead role and work in cooperation with a
Development Team.
The City of Winter Springs' Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Element, shall be
amended to include the following Goal, Objectives, and Policies regarding the Town
Center:
GOAL
4)
The City of Winter Springs seeks to create a Town Center, based upon traditional
design standards for development, that will become the identifying focus of the

Town Center Plan Amendment
LG-CP A-I-99
OBJECTIVE
City's downtown. The primary and fundamental purpose of the Town Center
shall be a place where people can reside in a mix of single and multiple family
dwellings, and also gather to shop, relax, recreate, be entertained, attend
community events, and enjoy the natural beauty of lands located in the Town
Center. The Town Center should be created through public and private
investment and development.
A) The Town Center should be located in close proximity to existing public facilities
such as the City Hall, Winter Springs High School, Central Winds Community
Park, and U.S. Post Office. The Town Center should be a compact area primarily
located on the north side of Route 434 along both sides of Tuskawilla Road, as
depicted on the City's Future Land Use Map.
,)
)
Policies
1) From time to time, the City Commission may revise the Future Land Use
Map to designate land "Town Center" consistent with this Objective.
2>. The City should maintain a leadership position to protect the integrity of
the Town Center and promote public and private investment and growth
therein.
3)
From time to time, the City Commission may adopt appropriate
transportation maps to identify future roads and traffic patterns related to
the Town Center that assure best routes through land while attempting to
maximize development potential and opportunities consistent with the
Town Center Goal. The final location of future Town Center roads will be
determined by the City during the development permit procedure.
4) The City Commission may enter into a public/private partnership
arrangement with a Master Developer(s) to develop the Town Center.
5) To the extent financial resources are available, public money should be
spent as a catalyst to encourage private investment within the Town
Center. In coordination with private development, the City may undertake
capital improvements for public infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, roads,
parks, stormwater) to enhance or assist private development to achieve the
Town Center Goal.
6)
To the extent financially feasible, the City should encourage private
investment in the Town Center by enacting policies to provide economic
incentives to private developers building within the Town Center,
provided such development is consistent with the Town Center Goal. To
the extent allowed by law, incentives may include, but not be limited to,
waiving permit, impact, and other City fees; providing impact fee credits;
subsidizing loans; offering City owned-land; improving right-of-ways;

OBJECTIVE
providing public infrastructure; streamlining permit processing; providing
free and pre-approved designs.
All proposed developments within the Town Center shall be subject to
review by the Development Review Committee (DRC). The DRC shall
have authority, within development review criteria established by the City
Commission, to approve all aspects of site planning and exterior
architecture within the Town Center, including aesthetic appropriateness,
environmental implications, traffic impacts, and any other site-specific
matters related to development.
B) Promote and enhance the development of the Town Center by allowing a mixed-
use higher density/intensity neo-traditional urban pattern.
Policies
1) Create innovative land development regulations to encourage a mixed-use
higher density/intensity neo-traditional Town Center, utilizing, to the
extent practical, the fundamentals and urban design concepts in the Town
Center Master Plan:
