REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests the City Commission conduct a public
hearing for the second reading and consideration of Ordinance 2001-43 amending provisions in
the land development regulations appertaining to street names, the naming of streets, and the
uniform building numbering system.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider the adoption of Ordinance 2001-43 that would
improve the efficiency of approvals for street name assignment and numbering.
APPLICABLE LAW:
Sec. 9-156. Street names.
New street names shall not duplicate the names of existing streets, except that new streets
that are an extension or in alignment with existing streets shall bear the same name as
that borne by such existing streets. Names likely to be confused with names of existing
streets shall be avoided. Street names shall be subject to the approval of the city. Street
numbers shall be designated by the city staff See subsection 9-298(c), method for naming
streets.
Sec. 9-372. Establishment of system.
A uniform building numbering system, as developed by the grid system guide map filed in
the land development coordinator's office is hereby adopted for use in the corporate
limits of the City. The grid system guide map and all explanatory matter thereon and
related thereto are hereby adopted, incorporated herein by reference and made a part of
this article.
Sec. 9-373. Administration and assie:nment of numbers.
(a) The City land development coordinator's office shall be responsible for coordinating
and maintaining the numbering system established by this article. The land
development coordinator's office shall approve street names and designations and
shall assign building numbers in conformity with the uniform building numbering
system established in section 9-372.. The land development coordinator's office shall
be responsible for enforcing compliance with the premises posting requirements
established in section 9-374.... "
(b) ...
(c) Assignment by the land development coordinator's office of the assigned number
to a lot or parcel on which a projectedfuture building may be constructed shall be a
condition precedent to the issuance of a building permit for any such building.
(d) In coordination with the county E-911 coordinator, the land development
coordinator's office shall record and maintain records of all street names and
numbers currently assigned under this article and all names and numbers which have
ever been assigned pursuant to this article and shall monitor the same to ensure that
duplicate street names and numbers are prevented.
Sec. 9-375. Annexations; additions.
a)
(a) Whenever a parcel of land, a subdivision, or any part thereof, becomes part of the
corporate limits of the City by municipal annexation or otherwise, it shall be the
responsibility of the land development coordinator's office to review the address
numbers, their posting and the method of numbering for such contracted portion
conform to the uniform building numbering system established by the article within
thirty (30) days of such annexation.
(b) If the number, posting or method of numbering a building is in nonconformance with
the city grid system guide map and uniform building numbering system after a
municipal annexation, the land development coordinator's office shall give notice of
such nonconformance to the owners or occupants of the affected building or property.
The notice shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested or by posting
the notice in a conspicuous place on the building or by hand delivery. The notice
shall include a notification or a change of address, which shall contain the correct or
new building number assigned to the building or property in accordance with the
provisions of this article and the date of notification. The notice shall direct the
owner or the occupant to post the newly assigned building number contained in the
change of address on the building or property in accordance with this section. The
notice shall notify the owner or occupant that, if he or she disagrees with the
determination of the land development coordinator's office, an appeal may be taken
regarding the determination by the city manager.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
. Planning staff believes the existing address assignment and numbering system is inefficient,
dated, and repetitious since it requires a separate but similar application to Seminole County.
. The efficient and proper assignment of addresses within a community is essential to the
preservation of health, safety, and the general welfare.
At its regularly scheduled meeting of July 9, 2001, the City Commission passed Ordinance 2001-
43 on first reading and directed staff to prepare an agenda item for second reading.
. FINDINGS:
1. Seminole County has an address coordinating staff that assigns street numbers and names
to properties in the unincorporated areas of the County as well as to Casselberry,
Longwood, and Lake Mary.
2. The current street addressing and numbering system for Winter Springs requires separate
application to the City and verification by the County, which amounts to duplication,
rather than through a single uniform system.
3. There has been a cooperative effort between the Community Development Department
and the Fire Department to make this needed change.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission hold a public hearing for second reading of Ordinance
2001-43. The ordinance would amend the City's Code of Ordinances, as follows:
Code Amendments.
Chapter 9, Land Deyelopment of the Code of Ordinances would be amended to read as follows:

MEMORANDUM

Ronald W. McLemore, City Manager
Charles c~on. Community Development Director
May 11, 2001
DATE:
SUBJ:
Street Names
Seminole County has an address coordinating staff that assigns street numbers
and names. Currently this procedure applies to Casselberry, Longwood and Lake
Mary. Tim Lallathin and I met with Maggie Ketcham, Seminole County Address
Coordinator on May 9, 2001 to discuss the application of this procedure to Winter
Springs. The advantage to Winter Springs is that the County staff will coordinate
all street names, house numbers, private road names, and re-addressing with
emergency 911 and with twenty-two other entities such as the School Board and
utilities.
If the procedure is applied to Winter Springs, the County staff would receive
subdivision plats and site plans during the preliminary DRC Review and would
work with the developer of streets and assigning street numbers in full compliance
with 911 and the postal selVice.
This program is properly administered and Tim and I recommend that the City of
Winter Springs adopt the program. If you agree with the transfer of this work effort
it will require a letter of request to County Administrator Kevin Grace.
