X DESIGN APRIL 18, 2018 STUDIO Request The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Exception for certain provisions of the Town Center District Code. Specifically, the applicant is requesting Special Exception approval for a Residential, Multifamily use in the T-4 Transect (General Urban Core Zone) District of the Town Center. The Special Exception request is being submitted for consideration in accordance with Section 20-321(c) of the Town Center District Code. Justification for the Request The following are responses to the criteria outlined in the Conditional Use Permit Request Application: 1) How is the Conditional Use (including its proposed scale and intensity, traffic generating characteristics, and offsite impacts) compatible and harmonious with adjacent land uses? The proposed Special Exception is to facilitate development for a portion of the subject property as an age restricted (55+) condominium neighborhood within the Winter Springs Town Center identified as "The Gatherings at Winter Springs." A determination has been made that the Winter Springs Town Center would be an ideal location to introduce this new community. The proposed homes will be owned by individual buyers and will not be an apartment rental project. It is also important to stress that these homes are for 55+ active adult buyers and the community is not an assisted living facility (ALF), congregate care facility or independent living facility (ILF). All single level homes will served by an elevator and will have open living spaces, private balconies, and 1 - car garages. Amenities will include a clubhouse, pool, pickle ball court, a pond, green space and walking trails. All homes within "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" are intended to be Energy StarT"° Certified. Attached are exhibits showing the conceptual elevations and conceptual amenity renderings. These exhibits are illustrative only and have been provided to conceptually communicate the intended design and quality of "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" community. The applicant will work with City Staff and the applicable approval boards to further define the building elevations as the process moves forward to ensure a harmonious relationship with the Town Center. The City, through its collaborative effort with many local community stakeholders, policy makers and regional partners determined that this property was critical in helping implement the vision for the Town Center. This property has been designated T-4 (General Urban Core Zone) since the adoption of the Town Center District Code. Per the Town Center District Standards, the general character of T-4 consists of mixed-use but primarily residential urban fabric in a more compact area that is close to the core of the town center. A wide range of building types, both residential and commercial in nature, are found in this T-4 zone. "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" will been designed to implement to goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as they relate to the Town Center and to continue the land use pattern in harmony with existing Town Center development. The site will be thoughtfully planned to be self-sufficient in terms of the storm water design, parking, etc. but also open to interaction with the civic, recreation, retail and social amenities that the remaining areas of the Town Center have to offer. 1 2) Will the Conditional Use adversely impact land use activities in the immediate vicinity? if no, why not? No. As mentioned previously, the site will be thoughtfully planned to be self-sufficient in terms of the storm water design, parking, etc. but also open to interaction with the civic, recreation, retail and social amenities that the remaining areas of Town Center have to offer. The original vision of Town Center by its creators will be preserved and the plan for development becomes more defined. For example, the Town Center standards include a variety of residential and nonresidential uses to encourage a mix of uses that is necessary for the economic viability of a city center. It is important to note that up until a City initiated Code Amendment that became effective in April of 2016, the T-4 Transect (General Urban Core Zone) Zone District allowed multifamily as a Permitted Use under the Town Center District Code. This proposed Special Exception to allow for multifamily uses will further the objective of the master plan that was created in 1998 for the Town Center. 3) Demonstrate how the size and shape of the site, the proposed access and internal circulation, and the design enhancements are adequate to accommodate the proposed scale and intensity of the conditional use requested. The site shall be of sufficient size to accommodate design amenities such as screening buffers, landscaping, open space, off-street parking, and other similar site plan improvements needed to mitigate against potential adverse impacts of the proposed use. Phase is proposed to be comprised of four (4) residential buildings of twenty-seven (27) homes each, for a total of 108 homes. The conceptual site plan incorporates the Town Center Design Criteria by having buildings fronting public roads and/or parks. The primary entrance(s) will be located on Blumberg Blvd. and emergency access easements will be proposed to the north onto the Winter Springs High School access road. The site plan will also incorporates detached garages, additional parking, a clubhouse with pool and recreational amenities, a pond, green space and a walking trail. The proposed neighborhood will be heavily landscaped throughout. Residential uses already exist within the Town Center and specifically in the T-4 Zone. The special exception that is requested will facilitate development that is in character with similar T-4 zones, as well as the overall Town Center area. 4) Will the proposed use have an adverse impact on the local economy, including governmental fiscal impact, employment, and property values? if no, why not? No. The community will be designed and is geographically located to take advantage of the adjacent retail, restaurant and commercial uses within the Town Center. It is envisioned that the homeowners will do a majority of their shopping, eating and recreating within the Town Center. There are no foreseen governmental fiscal impacts and the community is not projected to negatively impact property values. The Net Economic Benefits are: • Homeowners will be active adults that embrace walkability of communities. The high walkability in the Town Center translates into direct spending on goods and services within the Town Center. • Because the homeowners are age 55+, there will be no impact on schools. • Homes are individually owned, and therefore taxed as such. Average sales prices are projected in the mid 300's. At full completion of the Phase 1, net annual property tax generation is estimated at $378,000. (Based on $3,500 per home average). • Active Adult homeowners tend to drive during non -peak hours, having minimal impact on peak traffic congestion. • Privately owned and maintained internal roads, reducing the maintenance cost to the City of Winter Springs. 5) Will the proposed use have an adverse impact on natural environment, including air, water, and noise pollution, vegetation and wildlife, open space, noxious and desirable vegetation, and flood hazards? If no, why not? No. Currentlythe 6.46± acre portion of the property, identified as Phase 1, is vacant and has had no history of development. The remaining 5.8± acre portion, identified as Phase 2, currently has one existing single- family home belonging to the applicant. There are no known protected species or vegetation on the property. There are no known wetlands, flood zones or water features within the boundaries or immediate vicinity of the property. The site, when developed, will provide for on-site storm water management to minimize any offsite drainage impacts to adjacent properties. Prior to development, approvals from the applicable review agencies will be required to ensure compliance with local and state regulations as they relate to air, water, and noise pollution, vegetation and wildlife, open space, noxious and desirable vegetation, and flood hazards. 6) Will the proposed use have an adverse impact on historic, scenic and cultural resources, including views and vistas, and loss or degradation of cultural and historic resources? If no, why not? No. There are no known historic, scenic or cultural resources within the property. Directly north of the subject parcel is the access road, parking lot and athletic fields serving Winter Springs High School. Immediately east is the Rize at Winter Spring rental apartment complex, a vacant parcel and a conservation easement that was dedicated by the applicant to the State of Florida Land Trust in 2001. Blumberg Blvd. frames the property along its southern border along with a 4 -story apartment/multifamily rental property known as Tuskawilla Town Center. Tuskawilla Rd. runs along the properties eastern border along with an extension of the Florida Trial. The property across the street to the east is currently vacant and is designated at C/P (Civic/Public) in the Town Center District Code. Prior to development, approvals from the applicable review agencies will be required to ensure compliance with local and state regulations as they relate to historic, scenic and cultural resources. 7) Will the proposed use have an adverse impact on public services, including water, sewer, surface water management, police, fire, parks and recreation, streets, public transportation, marina and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities? If no, why not? No. The T-4 (General Urban Core Zone) was created to implement the vision of the Town Center. The Town Center was carefully planned with density and intensity criteria to ensure there would be no adverse impact on public services, including water, sewer, surface water management, police, fire, parks and recreation, streets, public transportation, marina and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. 3 As part of the review for development, the City and applicable agencies will utilize the concurrency management system that is in place. The concurrency management system will measure the potential impacts of any proposal development permit or order upon the City's multimodal transportation network and the established minimum acceptable levels of service (LOS) for public schools, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, and parks and recreation facilities. 8) Will the proposed use hove on adverse impact on housing and social conditions, including o variety of housing unit types and prices, and neighborhood quality? If no, why not? No. As mentioned earlier, "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" will be an age restricted (55+) condominium neighborhood within the Winter Springs Town Center. The proposed homes will be owned by individual buyers and not an apartment rental project. This fee simple ownership condominium design will break the current pattern of "for rent" multifamily developments that inherently creates a transient population. As noted above, "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" is not an assisted living facility (ALF), congregate care facility or independent living facility (ILF). The high-end quality of the development, amenities and pride of ownership will implement what was envisioned by the original stakeholder and creators of the Town Center plan. As mentioned above, all homes within "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" are intended to be Energy StarT"° Certified. The City of Winter Springs has a rapidly growing population that has limited housing opportunities for home ownership with maintenance free living. "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" provides a unique lifestyle that heavily focuses on amenities, walkability, neighbor interaction, and maintenance free living. The majority of the housing near the Town Center is either rental or homes with steps. "The Gatherings at Winter Springs" will contribute to a diversity of housing by creating something unlike anything else in the Town Center. all The Gatherings at Win ter Spfings Conceptual -For Illustrative Purposes Only — Final Design TBD Conceptual -For Illustrative Purposes Only — Final Design TBD Conceptual -For Illustrative Purposes Only — Final Design TBD j Conceptual- For Illustrative Purposes Only— Final Design TBD J a � � i SMfIF w - win 00 it� Conceptual- For Illustrative Purposes Only— Final Design TBD BOUNDARY SURVEY ALSO BEING ALTA / ACSM LAND TITLE FOR m CERTUS LLC - WINTER SRRIN0S TOWNE CENTER IN NAL SECTION 26 -TOWNSHIP 20 SOUTH- SITE RANGE 30 EA§T CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, 4 SEMINOLE COUNTY, FLORIDA iti fit VICINITY MAP NOT TO SCALE Legal 'DescrlptiOn LEGALCDESCRIPTION (AS WRITTEN BY SURVEYOR) Parent Tract Legai DeB,aription: A portion of Lofs 29 .,d 30;'0.

THROUGH 2 OF .. of 2 May 25, 2018 Mr. Brian Fields, P.E. Community Development Director City of Winter Springs 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708-2799 Re: The Gatherings at Winter Springs Special Exception Application Response to Staff Comments Dear Brian: We received staff comments dated May 18, 2018 and have addressed them below. The following documents are provided in this revised submittal package: • Response to comment letter • Conceptual building elevations Response to Comments: 1. A Special Exception is not required for the minimum block size per Section 20-324(11). The block configuration surrounding this site is an existing condition that was previously established and is not being substantially adjusted as part of this proposed project. Response: Noted, the applicant appreciates the clarification. 2. Please provide a conceptual rendering showing the front of the proposed condominium buildings (the side facing the street), and a typical side where there is garage access. Response: Please find attached conceptual building elevations. 3. Please list the approximate square footage of the condominium building footprint. Response: The condominium building footprint is approximately 19,000 sq.ft. 4. The clubhouse building will need to be at least two stories, per the T4 transect standards in the Town Center Code. The submitted rendering shows a one-story building. Response: Acknowledged. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 5. Page 2 of the narrative states the buildings will front "public roads and/or parks." Please confirm the intent of the interior park to be open for public use. City of Vinter Springs Re: The Gatherings at Vinter Springs Spea'al Exception Application Response to Staff Comments May 23, 2018 Page 2 of 3 Response: Programming, design and location of the site amenities, etc. are still preliminary. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 6. The detached garage structures are considered accessory buildings and cannot be located along a primary street frontage as shown on Blumberg Boulevard, per the Town Center Code. Response: Acknowledged. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 7. Additional Special Exceptions would be needed for the following items, if not changed on the site plan: a. Minimum 60% frontage buildout using principle buildings (20-325) b. Accessory building setback is 20 -feet plus the applicable building setback (20-325) c. Garage doors on the sides of the building must be a minimum of 20 -feet behind the principal plane of the building frontage in the T4 transect (20-324) d. Off-street parking lots to be setback a minimum of 50 -feet from the property line along Blumberg Boulevard (20-324) e. Orientation of buildings 3 and 4 do not appear to currently front public streets or other public spaces. Response: Acknowledged. These items will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 8. The applicant is encouraged to contact SCPS and work in good faith with SCPS to appropriately improve the project's SCPS street frontage as part of this project. Recommended Community Development Department improvements include the emergency access connections, as shown, and construction of a sidewalk along the developed frontage, extending west to a logical terminus at Bear Springs Drive. Response: Acknowledged. The applicant will engage SCPS during the development plan process to mutually assess improvements along Bear Springs Drive. 9. Please provide the best available preliminary information regarding the size(s) of the individual condominium units (square footage and number of bedrooms), and the estimated price range. Response: See responses below and please note these numbers are subject to change. • The square footages of the homes range from 1525 sq.ft., 1695 sq.ft., 1909 sq.ft., and 2045 sq.ft. The average square footage for the homes is 1,800 sf • All units will be predominately 2 -bedroom except for the 2045 sq.ft. unit which will have the option for a 3rd bedroom. The homes have been designed with multiple bedroom floorplans to accommodate visiting family and friends. City of Vinter Springs Re: The Gatherings at Vinter Springs Spea'al Exception Application Response to Staff Comments May 23, 2098 Page 3 of 3 • There are 27 homes per building totaling 108 homes. • 1 Car Garage is included in the deed of every home. • Market forces and construction costs will determine prices at the time of selling, however, projected pricing is to start in the $260's, with an average sales price in the $340's. 10. Garages on the sides of the buildings will need to be appropriately screened from view from the surrounding public streets. Response: Acknowledged. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 11. A parking analysis per Section 20-324 is required with the first engineering submittal. The current plan appears to have sufficient resident parking; however, the number of spaces available for use by visitors and employees appears to be low. Response: Acknowledged. A parking analysis will be prepared in conjunction with the first engineering submittal. 12. The building architecture, at least to the extent shown on the submitted renderings, does not meet current aesthetic standards in the Town Center District. Please refer to the recently approved aesthetics for the Catalyst Apartments and the Hawthorne Senior Living Facility for good examples. These buildings have a more urban look, with flat roofs and more distinctive building frontage styling. The existing buildings on Tuskawilla Road provide good examples. The RiZE building and the existing building on Blumberg Boulevard, which were both approved 10+ years ago, are not good examples. Response: Acknowledged. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. 13. The first floor living space must be elevated a minimum of 24 -inches above the adjacent sidewalk grade. There was not enough information shown at this time to determine if this will be met. Response: Acknowledged. This item will be addressed during preparation of development plans. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information regarding the special exception application. Sincerely, Chad L. Minor, Beazer Homes, Inc.
