FUNDING:
The City is paying for various consultant services related to the development and
implementation of a Town Center Concept Plan from the Community Development Department
budget.
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION:
At it's December 2, 1998 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Board adopted the following motion:
I (Bill Fernandez) make a motion that we recommend approval of these Town Center District
Design Codes to the City Commission, based on the findings that our local government should
articulate a vision of the future physical appearance and quality in this community, that we have
received meaningful public participation at various meetings, that we do need to have an
identified Town Center. I will further indicate or add to that, that just as the Town Center
overlay zoning district regulations of September 8, 1997, Ordinance 676, was made inapplicable
to the Schrimsher property until such time as a development agreement was developed, that in
this particular case that I would recommend that the City Commission make this Town Center
District Code inapplicable to the Schrimsher property as well as the gentleman's property in the
descriptions here, the Spring Land Investment, Ltd. and Jessup Shores, Ltd. EuroAmerican
Investors group represented by Sunbelt Investors Group, Mr. AC. Leerdam, that it be
inapplicable until such time as a developer's agreement is negotiated with those parties, and or
the property is purchased by a master developer. I would note for the record, that since we are
acting in our capacity as the Local Planning Agency on a broad scale as opposed to one single
parcel, that we do not need to make the detailed findings of fact that are required when we are
dealing with a very small parcel of property. Although I have included in my motion general
findings of fact, including the presentation of all those who have come forward and spoken this
evening including Mr. Schrimsher and Mr. Leerdam as well as Mr. Michael Grindstaff, that's my
motion. Seconded by Roseanne Karr. Vote all aye.

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. These conventions are derived
from a number of sources in planning literature. Where
approvals, interpretations and judgements are left to the
discretion of City officials, these officials shall use the following
texts for guidance as to best practices:
Civic Art, by Hegemann and Peets;
Great Streets, by Allan B. Jacobs;
The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community, by
Peter Katz;
AlA Graohic Standards. 9th Edition:
The Lexicon of the New Urbanism. by Duany et ai, Congress for
the New Urbanism;
Shared Parking, by Barton-Aschman Associates, The Urban
Land Institute
This document repeals the Town Center Overlay Zoning District
Regulations ofJune 9, 1997 (Ordinance #661) and 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 corner 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 for buildings.

v. General Provisions
.
The following general provISIons apply to all
Street Types.
A. Corner Radii & Clear Zones:
Comer curb radii shall be between 9 feet and 15
feet. Fairly tight turning radii shorten pedestrian
crossings and inhibit reckless drivers from turning
comers at high speeds. To allow for emergency
vehicles (e.g. fire trucks) to turn comers, a 25 foot
radius Clear Zone shall be established free of all
vertical obstructions including but not limited to
telephone poles, sign poles, fire hydrants,
electrical boxes, or newspaper boxes.

,
B.Alleys:
.
Alleys are required in the town center to minimize
curb cuts and to provide access to parking and
service areas behind buildings. Alley
requirements may be waived by the DRC for
access to detached single family residential lots
greater than 55' in width in situations in which
proper streetfront orientation, pedestrian
circulation, and parking can still be accomplished.
Alley locations and dimensions are not fixed but
shall be designed to accommodate the alley's
purpose. Additional curb cuts shall be added only
with the permission of the Development Review
C. Exceptions from Build-to Lines:
Exceptions from Build-to Lines may be granted
by the Development Review Committee for
avoiding trees with calipers greater than 8 inches.
On comer sites (within 50 feet of the comer) with
Build-to Lines set back from the property line,
building frontage may be positioned forward of
the Build-to Line up to the Property Line,
provided it does not encroach upon the Clear
Zone.
.'
D. Side and Rear Setbacks:
No side or rear setbacks are required in the town
center.
E. First Floor Height for Residential:
Residential uses on the first story shall have
finished floor height raised a minimum of 2 feet
above sidewalk grade.
F. Diversity of Building Widths:
No more than three residential buildings 20 feet or
less in width are permitted within any two
hundred feet of frontage.
G. Accessory Structures:
Accessory Structures are permitted and may
contain parking, accessory dwelling units, home
occupation uses, storage space, and trash
receptacles. Home occupation uses are restricted
to owner plus one employee, shall not include
noxious or disruptive functions, and may not
disrupt parking for neighboring residents.
Accessory structures shall not be greater than 625
square feet in footprint and shall not exceed 2
stories in height.
H. Drive-throughs:
Drive-through service windows are permitted in
the rear in mid-block and alley accessed
locations provided they do not substantially
disrupt pedestrian activity or surrounding uses,
Example
Drive-through
service area
I. Civic Sites:
Civic buildings contain uses of special public
importance. Civic buildings include, but are not
limited to, municipal buildings, churches,
libraries, schools, daycare centers, recreation
facilities, and places of assembly. Civic buildings
do not include retail buildings, residential
buildings, or privately owned office buildings. In
order to provide greater flexibility to create a
special architectural statement, civic buildings are
not subject to Build-to Line requirements or
Building Frontage requirements. The design of
civic buildings shall be subject to review and
approval by the Development Review
Committee.

J. Parking:
1. Parking Requirements
The intent of these parking regulations is to
encourage a balance between compact pedestrian
oriented development and necessary car storage.
The goal is to construct neither more nor less
parking than is needed.
There shall be no minimum parking requirement
in the Town Center. The applicant shall provide a
parking analysis justifying the proposed parking
solution.
Minimum parking space dimensions for head-in
or diagonal parking shall be 9'x 18' with 11 foot
drive lanes (22' for 2 way traffic) and parallel
parking spaces shall be 8'x20' minimum with 10
foot drive lanes (20' for 2 way traffic).
Parking shall be provided as necessary to meet the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
Act and Florida Accessibility Code.
2. On-Street Parking
The selection of diagonal or parallel parking
along any section of road shall be determined in
consultation with DRC. In the event that DRC
approves diagonal instead of parallel parking,
dimensions should be adjusted on pages. 12-24.
.
3. Off-Street Surface Parking Lot Placement
Off-street surface parking lots shall be set back a
minimum of 50 feet from the property line along
the Main Street. DRC shall have discretion to
make this requirement applicable elsewhere on
prominent frontages, such as along key pedestrian
connections, within significant vistas and within
important public spaces. Outbuildings serving as
garages facing alleys shall be permitted within
this setback. Surface parking lots may be built up
to the property line on all other street frontages.

4. Structured Parking Lot Placement
Parking structures shall be set back a minimum of
50 feet from the property lines of all adjacent
streets to reserve room for Liner Buildings
between parking structures and the lot frontage.
The Liner Building shall be no less than two
stories in height. Liner Buildings may be
detached from or attached to parking structures,
5. Access to Off-Street Parking
Alleys shall be the primary source of access to off-
street parking. Parking along alleys may be head-
in, diagonal or parallel.
Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as
standard drive aisles. Access to all properties
adjacent to the alley shall be maintained, Access
between parking lots across property lines is also
encouraged,

6. Parking Lot Landscaping Requirements:
Landscape strips of at least six feet in width shall
be provided between parking isles of either head-
in or diagonal parking. Tree spacing in parking
lots shall be determined by the City Arborist
based upon tree species and location. The
objective is to create as continuous a shade
canopy as possible. A diversity of tree species
across the Town Center is encouraged, To
minimize water consumption, the use of low-
water vegetative ground cover other than turf is
encouraged.
~
6 ft, min.
T
In lieu of landscape strips, landscape islands can
be provided. No more than 6 consecutive parking
stalls are permitted without a landscape island of
at least 6 feet in width and extending the entire
length of the parking stall. A minimum of one tree
shall be planted in each landscape island.
.
K. Single vs. Double 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 such as: where there is no
significant natural view, in circumstances where
no significant negative visual impact will be
created by having the developed properties back
up to the natural area or park space, or in other
locations where it is deemed to be in the balanced
public- private interest to incorporate double
loaded roads for the economical use of the
property .
L. Large Footprint Buildings:
M. Additional Prohibitions:
.
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:
The following are prohibited where visible from
parks, squares and primary streets:
* Coin operated newspaper vending boxes
* Utility boxes and machinery including but not
limited to: backflow devices, electric meters
and air conditioning units.
