ITEM 504
MGR. ((t-J!IfI\ /Dept. //)/
REQUEST: Community Development Department requests that the City Commission consider
a proposed policy to authorize staff to review and approve tenant build-outs/floor-
plans as well as real estate and construction signs on undeveloped property in the
Town Center.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is for the City Commission to authorize staff to
approve interior tenant build-outs/floor-plans that are consistent with code as well
as real estate and construction signage on undeveloped property that is consistent
with code.
CONSIDERATION:
Some businesses at the Town Center propose tenant layouts that are consistent
with code, but are delayed until the City Commission reviews and approves their
floor-plan. The Commission would, unless it specifies otherwise, review the
initial floor-plan along with the architectural rendering. Individual tenant build-
outs/floor-plans that appear inconsistent with code would be brought to the City
Commission, thus making the process more efficient for the developer, the tenant,
and staff.
Section 20-337 of the City Code, does not differentiate between construction or
real estate signs that occur before a site is developed and those provided after
construction has ceased and a site is operational ("All signs shall be subject to a
Discretionary Aesthetic Appropriateness Review by the DRC in order that signs
are consistent and in harmony with the Winter Springs Town Center."). Section
20-337 does not address construction or real estate signs on undeveloped or

developing property, which may be construed to mean that perhaps the seemingly
all-inclusive language may not necessarily have been intended to include them.
Staff believes that the Commission would want to retain control of temporary
signs on developed sites, including, but not limited to, temporary events signage,
real estate signs, and temporary in-window signs.
APPLICABLE CODE:
Section 20 - 320. Intent.
Section 20 - 321. Administration.
Section 20 - 325. Squares, parks, and street types.
Section 20 - 327. Architectural guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission (1) grant authority to staff to approve
Town Center interior tenant build-outs that are consistent with City Code and also
(2) grant authority to staff to approve real estate and construction signs for
undeveloped sites within the Town Center, if they are consistent with the City
Code.
