RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission review the information provided and provide further
direction to Staff regarding the location of self -storage facilities within the City.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., Director, Community Development Department welcomed Commissioner
Greenberg and began the discussion on this Agenda Item addressing locations, design standards, and
possible locations for future projects.
Commissioner Cannon and Mr. Fields then addressed possible options, what setbacks could be
designated near residential communities, and what other jurisdictions were doing.
Regarding whether Mr. Fields had received any inquiries for U.S. Highway 17/92, Mr. Fields said he
had not, however Mr. Fields noted there had been inquiries for other areas.
Setbacks were mentioned again as well as possible boat/RV storage and outdoor parking. Mayor Lacey
suggested that if we go forward, we could include verbiage that such would not be allowed.
Commissioner Hovey asked Mr. Fields that if we did go ahead, could we stipulate that we would only
allow indoor and not outdoor self -storage facilities. Mr. Fields stated, "Yes."
Referencing residential areas, Deputy Mayor Cade Resnick mentioned he would be more comfortable
considering industrialized areas. With further comments, Mayor Lacey suggested that industrial areas
may not be convenient for many residents and that perhaps some commercial areas might be a better
option.
Commissioner Geoff Kendrick spoke of market forces, referred to a publication which noted that daily
traffic impact was not very intensive with self -storage projects, possible locations, the Town Center, and
that people need storage options for their belongings.
Commissioner Cannon noted he thought there was a need for self -storage and we should look at some
areas, and also mentioned a concern with self -storage being too close to residential entrances.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 26, 2018 PAGE 11 OF 16
Furthermore, Commissioner Cannon stated, "I do think that there is a need so I do think that we need to
really look at this." Commissioner Cannon then suggested Staff provide information on safeguards; and
remarked that his preference right now was for C-2, a Conditional Use with some limitations; and along
the lines of what Deputy Mayor Resnick suggested, that if an industrial area was available for a storage
business, that perhaps boats and RV's could be housed in the back so they were not visible from the
street.
Commissioner Greenberg mentioned he was in favor, noted personal use of self -storage, and as a
Developer, pointed out that he was aware of many upmarket type of self -storage facilities with inside
availability for boats or trailers. Commissioner Greenberg also agreed with the traffic information
Commissioner Kendrick mentioned, and thought that we should pursue something for both sides of
Winter Springs as well as an upscale type of project.
Continuing the discussion, Commissioner Hovey commented on 24/7 access to many self -storage
businesses, and that we might want to consider that aspect.
Mayor Lacey commented on self -storage facilities that are commonly seen with loud colored doors, and
thought that if we moved forward, considering the needs of our residents, we could go with upscale self -
storage facilities as shown during this discussion, and if so, Mayor Lacey did not see an issue with this
type of business.
Deputy Mayor Resnick referenced the area near State Road 417 and commented on his concern with
traffic and access in that area. Mr. Fields mentioned a center turn -lane for new developments, and that
any four-laning in that area was probably six to eight (6-8) years away. With comments on the pet day
care business in that same area as well as safety concerns, Mr. Fields said he agreed with the comments
that traffic associated with self -storage is typically low. Deputy Mayor Resnick added that if a self -
storage business was to go in at that location, as people would be transporting items to the self -storage
facility, we should review this as applicable.
Commissioner Kendrick addressed possible underserved locations for self -storage to assist our residents
with no impact to traffic and added, "We are talking about - on major arteries, that is not going to be a
traffic hindrance, and that will serve the needs of our citizens."
Mayor Lacey remarked, "From everything I have heard, I believe we are talking about just a Conditional
Use, so if it is a Conditional Use, I would think that we don't hurt ourselves by opening up to a little bit
broader Zoning Map to include C-1, because all these factors that are of concern to all of us, we have got
a chance to revisit that every time it comes forward." Mayor Lacey suggested, "I would consider a
Conditional Use definition of it, and then have it in C-1, C-2, and other industrial areas."
Addressing City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese, Mayor Lacey asked if the criteria that Mr. Fields
included in his Agenda Item, which seems to limit us to the upscale type looks for self -storage facilities,
could such be included in an Ordinance? Attorney Garganese said it could.
Commissioner Cannon inquired about the parcels at the GreeneWay Interchange area, to which Mr.
Fields went over various parcels of land that could be used, and also referenced C-3 Zoning.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 26, 2018 PAGE 12 OF 16

COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A
REVIEW OF IT ON - THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE."

REFERENCING THE TWO (2) OR THREE (3) STORY BUILDING ELEVATIONS THAT
WERE SHOWN DURING THE DISCUSSION OF THIS AGENDA ITEM, COMMISSIONER
CANNON SUGGESTED SOME SETBACKS FROM RESIDENTIAL BE INCLUDED.
MAYOR LACEY RECOMMENDED TO COMMISSIONER CANNON, "IF IT IS AMENABLE
TO YOU, WHY DON'T WE USE YOUR AMENDMENT TO BASICALLY DELEGATE TO
STAFF TO GIVE US A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN SETBACKS
AND WE WANT THEM TO GIVE US A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FIRST READING."
COMMISSIONER CANNON STATED, "I WOULD LIKE THAT." FURTHER,
COMMISSIONER CANNON NOTED, "FOR THE CONSTRUCTION SETBACK - IN LIGHT
OF, IF IT IS A THREE (3) STORY BUILDING, WHAT WOULD BE AN - APPROPRIATE
SETBACK FROM THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINE, SO SOMEBODY IN THEIR
BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL IS NOT LOOKING RIGHT UP AT A THREE (3) STORY
BUILDING."
FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. FIELDS ASKED, "A MINIMUM FRONT SETBACK AS WELL
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, A SIDE - OR REAR SETBACK TO A RESIDENTIALLY ZONED
LOTT'
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 26, 2018 PAGE 13 OF 16

HAVE ANOTHER RiZE [AT WINTER SPRINGS]."

HAVE BEEN ADMITTED AND BRING THEM BACK.
MAYOR LACEY REMARKED, "I AM LOOKING FOR THE COMMISSION TO APPROVE
AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION THAT SAYS WE ARE LOOKING FOR A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COME BACK ON SETBACKS AND DISTANCE
BETWEEN SELF -STORAGE UNITS..." MANAGER SMITH ADDED, —INCLUDING THE
"CRITERIA THAT IS LAID OUT ON PAGE 2 OF THE AGENDA ITEM."
MAYOR LACEY EXPLAINED, "SO THE MOTION IS AMENDED FOR ALL THOSE
THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, SETBACKS, DISTANCE, AND THE CRITERIA
THAT ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM." MANAGER SMITH
COMMENTED, "UNDERSTOOD." MAYOR LACEY THEN SAID, "MOTION. SECONDED
