REQUEST: The Community Development Department — Planning Division requests that the
Local Planning Agency hold a Public Hearing for consideration of Ordinance 2012 -05, amending
the Comprehensive Plan related to both the Town Center and Greeneway Interchange District
(GID) along with associated amendments to Policy 1.1.1: Land Use Categories.
SYNOPSIS: Several amendments to the Comprehensive Plan related to the Town Center are
needed in order to support the proposed update of the Town Center District Code. Amendments
to the Comprehensive Plan related to the Greeneway Interchange District (GID) are proposed in
order to incentivize compact, vertical mixed use development and to provide minor cleanup
language within said district. Amendments to Policy 1.1.1: Land Use Categories establishes
minimum density /intensity thresholds for each existing land use category within the City.

BACKGROUND DATA
I. Town Center
The text amendment proposed for the Town Center is a direct result from the August 1, 2011
City Commission directive to update the Town Center District Code based upon `transect'
principles. During the August 1, 2011, City staff and their consultant presented a workshop to
the City Commission regarding the future direction of the Town Center. During the workshop,
staff and the consultant presented ideas involving a concept known as the `transect' that could be
incorporated into a re -write of the Town Center District Code. The `transect' categorizes
settlement patterns into "zones" that range from areas with a very rural character to a very urban
character. The different segments of the transect carry different development standards and
regulations to make the Town Center able to address transitional areas as well as accommodate
various levels of Traditional Neighborhood Development standards. A consensus was reached
amongst the Commission to direct staff to re -write the Town Center District Code based upon the
principles of the `transect'.
The proposed text amendment for the Town Center identifies sections of the Comprehensive
Plan that need modification in order to facilitate the proposed transect -based Town Center
District Code. More specifically, amendments related to the Town Center include the following:
Future Land Use Element
1. Policy 2.2.4: Mixed Uses
2. Policy 2.2.6: Residential Density
3. Future Land Use and Projected Land Use Needs - D. Land Use Analysis
4. Policy 2.2.8: Intensity and Building Height
5. Policy 2.2.9: Mix of Uses Defined

Policy 2.2.4 currently permits a variety of mixed uses within the Town Center in harmony with
the Town Center Goal. The proposed revision adds language to require said uses to be in
harmony with not only the Town Center Goal but the Town Center District Code as well.
The proposed revised policy:
Policy 2.2.4: Mixed Uses. Permit a variety of mixed uses consistent, compatible,
andin harmony with the Town Center Goal and the Town Center District Code
including single family residential, multiple family residential, commercial retail
and services, public services and buildings, parks, and schools, through the
enactment of creative and flexible land development regulations.
Policy 2.2.6 currently establishes a maximum density threshold of thirty-six (36) units per gross
acre and seeks a minimum average residential density of seven (7) units per gross acre. The
proposed text amendment seeks to amend said policy by eliminating the maximum density
threshold of thirty-six (36) units per gross acre. The amendment would allow the proposed Town
Center District Code to serve as the tool to guide the form of the built environment and create
and protect development patterns that are compact, walkable, and mixed use in nature. Said
policy would still encourage a minimum average residential density of seven (7) units per gross
acre, unless the type of unit would warrant a lesser density while still meeting the intent of the
Town Center District Code.
The proposed revised policy:
Policy 2.2.6: Residential Density. Support the desired commercial activity and
urbancharacter desired for the Town Center by encouraging high density
residential development consistent with the Town Center Goal tip *^ thif:t�
b and encourage by—see nga minimum average residential
density of seven (7) units per acre, unless the type of unit would warrant a lesser
density while still meeting the intent of the Town Center District Code.
The aforementioned density amendment is further defined within Future Land Use Element D.
Land Use Analysis. The proposed amendment also deletes outdated Town Center District
development information within this same section of the Comprehensive Plan.

d. Town Center Future Land Use
The intent of the Town Center future land use category is to establish a vibrant
"downtown" area in the heart of the City, based upon traditional neighborhood
development (TND) standards which include mixed use development built on a
pedestrian scale interconnected grid of streets and blocks. The Town Center is to
be a mixed use area where people can live, work, and play. Rather than regulate
uses in the traditional reactive Euclidean method, the Town Center future land use
is based on a pro- active form -based code which regulates certain design
conventions for streets, blocks, parks, and the way buildings and other structures
relate to them and to one another for the long -term. Built along interconnected
pedestrian scale street and block networks, buildings are constructed for an
adaptive progression of potential uses over their long -term life cycle. Typical uses
that are encouraged include shops, personal and business services, grocery stores,
restaurants, cinemas, hotels, offices, civic facilities, day care, and residential. The
Town Center District allows greater diversity in housing types than other areas of
the City. Accessory dwelling units, such as garage apartments are allowed by right
and the Town Center has been identified as the area where the City's highest
density of housing is appropriate. By right f: densit „ be deve loped

Policy 2.2.8 encourages higher intensity development in the Town Center which does not exceed
a floor area ratio (FAR) of two (2.0) and six (6) stories in height. The proposed text amendment
seeks to eliminate the floor area ratio (FAR) of two (2.0) and the height limitation of six (6)

stories from the Comprehensive Plan. Higher intensity development will still be encouraged in
the Town Center as defined within the Town Center District Code. The Town Center District
Code identifies specific `transects' within the overall Town Center District that provide specific
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and height limitations. More specifically, the Town Center District
Code will outline specific design and performance standards applicable to each transect. In
essence, the code creates and protects development patterns that are compact, walkable, and
mixed use in nature.

Policy 2.2.9 specifies a specific mix of land uses required within the Town Center. The proposed
text amendment seeks to remove the mix of uses and require development within the Town
Center to be in accordance with the Town Center District Code. The form based regulations will
promote traditional neighborhood patterns with specific allowable uses per ` transect' that vary by
the level and intensity of their physical and social character.

Policy 2.3.2 currently requests that an economic development study be conducted periodically.
The proposed text amendment seeks to clarify associated timing for said study.
The revised policy:
Policy 2.3.2: Studies. Conduct periodic economic development studies as
development activity, trends or patterns warrant, of the Town Center that are
designed to compile relevant economic data and analysis that will: (1) educate and
inform the City about trends affecting the economic performance of the Town
Center; (2) assist the City in developing and implementing economic development
strategies for the Town Center; and (3) serve as a significant factor in making
development and other decisions related to the Town Center.

3. Land Requirements and Availability for Projected Housing Needs
Based on the figures provided by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a
total of 20,008 dwelling units will be needed to serve the household population of
the City by the year 2030, an increase of more than 6,500 units over the 2007
estimate. However, the City's population projections indicate a total demand for
18,557 dwelling units to serve the City in 2030, an increase of approximately
5,000 units. Table III -14 shows the acreage of vacant residential lands per land use
category. The amount of vacant land designated for residential use in the Future
Land Use map accounts for approximately 275 acres. There are also
approximately 53 acres of Mixed Use and 221 acres of Town Center. It is
estimated that approximately half of those acreages will be developed with
residential uses. W the Cif eef o.. , h ite -,.h, nge Dis s id e t i a ,

The acreage of residential lands was converted to units, using density factors
based on the densities permitted in each category, allowing for the provision of
retention areas and rights -of -way. For Rural, Low and Medium density residential
categories, thirty (30) percent of the land area was determined to be needed for
retention and ROW, netting 0.7, 2.5 and 6.3 dwelling units per acre, respectively.
High density residential was analyzed at 15 dwelling units per acre based on
historical trends. F„+: th Nli, U an d T,,..,,, ro„�or e- - teger -i i . est , �o

The proposed text amendments for the Greeneway Interchange District (GID) highlights sections
of the Comprehensive Plan that need modification in order to incentivize compact, vertical
mixed use development. Additional amendments serve as a matter of cleanup and help further
implement the Comprehensive Plan as defined within Goal 3 of the Future Land Use Element.
More specifically, amendments to the following Future Land Use Policies are proposed:
Future Land Use Element
1. Policy 3.1.2: Future Roads and Mobility Patterns
2. Policy 3.1.5: Connectivity
3. Objective 3.2: Land Uses
4. Policy 3.2.1: Target Industries

Land Use Needs - f. Greeneway Interchange District (GID) Future Land Use
15. Table 1 -2 Future Land Use Table
Policy 3.1.2 currently requires periodic updates to the transportation maps to identify future roads
and mobility patterns related to the GID. Said Policy has been amended by replacing `through
and with `thatprovide' in order to better describe the intent of the existing policy.
The proposed revised policy:
Policy 3.1.2: Future Roads and Mobility Patterns. Periodically update
transportation maps to identify future roads and mobility patterns related to the
GID that facilitate multimodal transportation routes thr- a�that provide safe
and convenient access to the GID, while attempting to maximize development
potential and opportunities consistent with GID Goal. Determine the final location
of future roads and mobility patterns within the GID and adjacent area during the
development process in accordance with the Multimodal Transportation Element.
(Ord. 2010 - 18;10- 25 -10)
Policy 3.1.5 requires pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity. Said policy has been
amended by replacing `requires' with 'promote' in order to provide clear direction for the
February 1, 2012
Public Hearing Item 501
Page 9 of 19
desired connectivity. The word `requires' is more apt for the Code of Ordinances as
opposed to the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed revised policy:
Policy 3.1.5: Connectivity. ReEttii romote pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
connectivity both internally and externally to adjoining developable properties
(including public trail linkages). (Cross Reference: See Recreation and
OpenSpace Element, Policy 1.6.4) (previously Policy 3.1.3; Ord. 2010 -18; 10 -25-
10)
Objective 3.2 identifies the intent and purpose of the GID. The Objective has been
amended to further identify the similarity of uses between the GID and the Town Center.
The change also states that GID uses will not only increase but will enhance the City's tax
base.
The proposed revised policy:
Objective 3.2: Land Uses. The intent and purpose of the GID is to attract target
industries which provide higher paying jobs and which in concert with the Town
Center District, - eemplement and t e6fflpet° 40,4014 the Tow Center-a
w44eh .will increase and enhance the City's tax base.
Policy 3.2.1 highlights specific land uses within the GID. The revision helps further
define said uses by including corporate business parks, and offices while eliminating
`heliports' from incidental uses.
The proposed revised policy:
Policy 3.2.1: Target Industries. Limit land uses within the GID to target industry
uses including: corporate business parks, office complexes, technical and research
services, financial information services, life sciences, digital media, international
trade, sports associated industries, hotels and lodging, conference centers, long
stay tourism. Allow other "basic" businesses and industries with high annual
average wages provided the use complies with this Objective. Allow incidental
uses supportive of these industries to be incorporated into
target industry buildings, but not as a separate facility.
Policy 3.2.2 specifies the allowable amount of residential uses within the GID. The
revision helps clarify the amount and timing of residential uses within this specific
district.

Policy 3.2.3 seeks to preserve ecological sensitive open space within the GID. The
revision promotes said preservation by `promoting' and `encouraging' preservation rather
than `requiring'. The existing language is more suitable to the Code of Ordinances.
The proposed revised Policy:
Policy 3.2.3: Sensitive Lands. Regte Promote preservation of ecologically
sensitive open spaces in the GID and promote connectivity of these natural
features for habitat continuity and sustainability. RequiFe- Encourage a network of
public plazas with interconnected sidewalks to promote an urban pedestrian
environment. Calculate FAR based on total gross acreage, including both
ecologically sensitive areas and developable acreage. (CrossReference: See
Recreation and Open Space Element, Policy 1. 1.9)
Policy 3.2.4 specifies the allowable Floor Area Ratio and building height within the GID
and Policy 3.2.6 highlights the ability to achieve a greater Floor Area Ratio subject to
specific development criteria. Policies 3.2.4 and 3.2.6 have been combined to further
define development intensity permitted within the GID. The revision includes additional
criteria that would support a Floor Area Ratio up to 2.0 subject to the utilization of
traditional design standards to create compact, multimodal mixed use developments.
The proposed Policy:
Policy 3.2.4: Intensity and Building Height. Encourage higher intensity
development in the GID by requiring buildings to include at least two (2) stories
of occupiable space (as defined in Florida Building Code, Chapter 2)_

development regulations. Ancillary buildings may be excluded from the two story
minimum, by action of the City Commission. (Ord. 2010 -20; 10 -25 -2010)
The city shall permit a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) up to 1.0 in the Greeneway
lilterchange District. Development bonuses which allow a higher FAR (up to a
maximum FAR of 2.0), may be granted for projects within the Greeneway
Interchange District which create compact mixed use development through one or
more of the following non- exclusive list of principles:
• Environmentally - sensitive site planning; (Cross Reference: See Conservation
Element, Policy 1.8.2)
• Utilize traditional design standards to create compact, multimodal mixed use
(including horizontal and vertical integration of uses) neo traditional urban
development,
• Green building design and energy efficient buildings as determined by USGBC
LEED Certification or equivalent,
• Incorporation of Low Impact Development (LID) practices, such as shared
parking concepts, green roofs capture and use of stormwater for irrigation and /or
other grey water type uses, and rain gardens, (Cross Reference: See Conservation
Element, Policy 1.3.4)
• Energy efficient land use which minimizes impervious surfaces, such as
inclusion of one or more parking garages, (Cross Reference: See Conservation
Element, Policy 1.8. 1)
• Restoration or enhancement of degraded wetlands, native ecosystems, or
preservation of extra upland buffers around critical habitat, (Cross Reference: See
Conservation Element, Policy 1.7.2)
and
• Waterwise practices including sustainable site design through natural
landscaping with Florida native plants. (Cross Reference See Conservation
Element, Policy 1.2.6) (previously Policy 3.2.5, Ord. 2010 -18, 10- 25 -10)

Policy 3.2.7 identifies the need for public trail linkages through the District. The policy
has been re- numbered to 3.2.6 and revised by `promoting' public trail linkages as
opposed to `requiring' which is more apt to the Code of Ordinances.
The proposed policy:
Policy 3.2. -76: Trail Linkages. Reqtii romote public trail linkages through the
GID and require bicycle facilities (such as bike racks and lockers) to support
multimodal access as included in the adopted Master Plan. (previously Policy
3.2.6; Ord. 2010 -18; 10- 25 -10)
Policy 3.2.8 requires diversity in detailing and style within the GID. The Policy has been
re- numbered to Policy 3.2.7 and has replaced `require' with `encourage' to help further
clarify the intent of said policy.
Policy 3.2.9 Diversity in Detailing and Style. Reqtiif:c- ,, e development
to include diversity in detailing and style while maintaining aesthetic harmony.
(previously Policy 3.2.7; Ord. 2010 -18; 10- 25 -10)
Policy 3.4.1 requires a Master Development Plan for the entire GID. Said Policy has
been amended to require future development within the GID to be in accordance with an
approved phase of the Greeneway Interchange District Master Plan.
The proposed policy:
Policy 3.4.1: Master Development Plan. Require a Master Development Plan
which considers the entire GID and surrounding area, to ensure compatibility of
land uses and compliance with the GID Goal. Future development within the
Greenewav Interchange District (GID) shall be in accordance with an approved
phase of the Greeneway Interchange Master Plan.

Policy 3.4.2 has been modified to `encourage' rather than `require' tracts of land to be
developed as a whole and to create a compact walkable workplace. The existing
language, `require' is more apt to the Code of Ordinances.
The proposed policy:
Policy 3.4.2: Development. ReqtiiFe- tracts of land to be developed as a
whole, to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact
and walkable workplace.
Policy 3.5.2 currently requests that an economic development study be conducted periodically.
The proposed text amendment seeks to clarify associated timing for said study.
The proposed policy:
Policy 3.5.2: Studies. Conduct periodic economic development studies, as
development activity, trends or patterns warrant, of the GID that are designed to
compile relevant economic data and analysis that will: (1) educate and inform the
City about trends affecting the economic performance of the GID; (2) assist the
City in developing and implementing economic development strategies for the
GID; and (3) serve as a significant factor in making development and other
decisions related to the GID.
Future Land Use Element subsection D. Land Use Analysis currently identifies projected land
use needs for the Greeneway Interchange District (GID). The analysis /table has been revised to
further implement Goal 3 of the Future Land Use Element.
The proposed policy:

The purpose for the GID land use category is to set aside an area of the City, with
proximity to S.R. 417 and the interchange area on S.R. 434, to provide
employment centers for target industries and limited residential opportunities to
create an increased tax base for the City. The GID category was first defined in
conjunction with the City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan adoption. Resi 1
t -= c laiid tises and theref i t be li to n o mar- 1h 7CO _ of aft one
vert�� teg �t ffli� ed tise StRiettif:e. The intent of the GID designation is to:
Page 113
February 1, 2012
Public Hearing Item 501
Page 14 of 19
• Provide an economic benefit in terms of employment opportunities and
increased tax base;
• Locate higher intensity uses where roadway capacity can accommodate
increased traffic due to short trip distances to major roadways and increased lane
capacity at major intersections;
• Locate higher intensity uses along major roadways and intersections to reduce
development pressures in other areas, thereby minimizing the road congestion and
community compatibility impacts.
Alternative modes of transportation are required in the GID land use category to
encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole
throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to
create a compact, walkable environment. The GID is located within the "target
area" identified by Seminole County in 2007 as the Seminole Way. The identified
area runs north from S.R. 426 in the City of Oviedo to Interstate 4 in the City of

connect to the similar "Innovation Way" in Orange County and to attract high
quality, higher income jobs to Seminole County. A variation of Seminole
County's High Intensity Planned (HIP) Development land use is being considered

As provided by law, the twice -per year limitation on large -scale plan amendments was repealed

2012. Both a Transmittal Hearing and Adoption Hearing are required prior to issuance of a

The amendment is not expected to have any negative fiscal impact. To the contrary, staff feels
that these revisions will lay the groundwork in the Town Center and GID areas to facilitate
additional context sensitive mixed -use and target industry uses along with appropriate ancillary
uses that could represent a significant positive impact to both the residential and non - residential
tax base of the City.

BIPOLAR
Continued from Page BI
curate, patients have more treatment op-
tions, and there's better public understand-
mg. However, as with all mental illness, it's
still pretty stigmatized.
Most of us understand how debilitat-
ing depression is, but how is the man-
ic phase harmful?
Mania is asbad as itgets. Ifnot treated, it will
become worse, more frequent and harder to
treat. Manic states lead to exhaustion, and
alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately, be-
initial phases are exhilarating, it's
harder for those who experience that to
accept treatment
Becausethis disorder often shows up
inyouth, what shouldparentslmow?
It's very genetic. If you have a history of
bipolar disorder, manic depression or alco
holism in the family, be extra alert and aware
that your child is at increased risk Depres-
= elated suicide is a leading cause of
death in youths we need to teach kids to
cognize the symptoms and to know that
the condition is treatable. One of things so
bad about
depression andbipolar disorder is
that if you don't have prior awareness, you
don'thave any ideawhathityou.
Wheitinyourfamrly?
Oh, yes. It was all over my family on my
fathers side.
What'sthebest treatment?
Lithium remains the gold standard, but
many drugs now heat bipolar disorder.
Medication is critical and should be com-
bined with psychotherapy. Compliance is a
major problem. Patients believe that once
they'rebetteq they no longer need the medi-
cation. It doesn't work that way.
You say you've experienced both
grief and depressrou. What's the dif-
ference?
Grief is a necessary part of the human condi-
tion. People respond differently to people
who are grieving. They reach out But de-
pression is so very isolating. It's hard to
explain to anyone who has never been de-
pressed how isolating it is. Grief comes and
goes, but depression is unremitting. Anyone
Bipolar disorder
Also known as manic -de-
pressive illness, b molar
disorder causes extreme
shifts in mood and energy.
The disorder affects one in
40 adult Americans, or 2.6
of the population, according
tothe National Institute of
Mental Health. The average
age at diagnosis is 25. Only
half of those with the condi-
tion are receiving treatment.
Meet the expert
Who: Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D.,
co- director of the Johns Hopkins Mood
Disorders Center and psychiatry professor
at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, will
speak on manic depression and bipolar
disorder at a free community lecture
sponsored by the Winter Park Institute at
Rollins College. Jamison will discuss her
struggle with the illness and how it has
shaped her life.
When: 7lp Monday
Where: Rollins College, Knowles Memorial

who's lost a loved one thinks they're doing
OK, then, all of a sudden, they're flattened
by
e of longing and sadness. Grief is im-
portantbecause with itwe learn to appreci-
ate how shortlife is, and to have compassion
I or others going through loss. Nothing good
comes out of depression. I didn't get de-
pressed after my husband died of cancer 10
years ago, but for sure I was hit by tidal
waves ofgrie£
Doyouseepatients?
Not anymore. After my books came out, so
much about me was exposed that I felt it
was impossible to maintain the appropriate
patientboundries.
Do youwishyoudidn't have this?
In a fundamental sense, sure, but it's so
much apart of me Everything about me, —
my aspirations, my flaws — is probably de-
termined by my temperament without if I
would notbe who I am
What do youwish youlraew?
Clinically, I want to know how we can diag-
ose bipolar disorder earlier, younger and
more accurately. I'm also interested in
knowing how it will all play out what role
moods play in life, in our survival and aspira-
tions. Some moods are annoying and pain -
fiTl,but — emnt moods are deeply conta-
gious andlead to discovery. Moods are com-
plicated a dupery much a partofwhowe are.
People would be veryboring without them.
