REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests the City Commission hold a Public Hearing
to consider a special exception application to permit a multifamily residential apartment use for
the proposed "Iriye Suites" live -work community, located in the T5 Transect of the Town Center
on a 1.2 -acre property at 150 Tuskawilla Road.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the special exception is approved, and the project is developed as a mixed use live -work
community, then the project will provide an increase to the City's taxable value. The potential tax
revenue of the proposed project is still to be determined; however, the project at completion is
estimated by the applicant's fiscal analysis to have an assessed taxable value of $1.3 million.

Staff recommends that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing and consider the requested
special exception to allow multifamily residential use in the T5 Transect of the Town Center. If
the Commission is inclined to approve the special exception, Staff recommends the special
exception be limited to 15 apartment units in the live -work community format as represented in
the application, and that this condition be documented in a Developer's Agreement.

CITY OF ANINTER SPRINGS, FL.ORiF)A MINUTES CYFY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - DEC EMB 10, 2018 PAGE I I Of: 25
Mr. Partyka spoke of the Town Center Code, the overall plan for this project, and referenced some of the
renderings that were part of this Agenda Item.
Mr. Iriye pointed out, "The Master Plan for the Town Center was partially borrowed from the Baldwin
Park live -work concept and one of the things that was learned out of that project, was that there's a
central tendency in these live -work neighborhoods, these new urban downtowns, for reversion to
residential use. So, at various points through the development cycle, there are going to be times when
the commercial uses are going to far Outnumber the residential uses and there are going to be other times
when residential uses are going to be larger; and so, the whole concept, and it's written into the Code, it
says, the design is flexible and versatile.
And that's what we've done here with these live -work units, so that each of these suites can be
separately used as a residence, and because we had them designed where there is a separate entrance into
a private office in there, it can be used as a professional office suite with a back office support section,
without having to modify the layout or design. So, that makes it completely flexible on the suites.
Now, on one of the sides, we have a downstairs where there's a large conference room as well as
individual office spaces so people can have their businesses. They may be operating them, they may not
need a conference room ftill-time, and that's sort of the design here. Separate individual offices - there
are going to be some that are going to be always available for the hourly usage and alternatively, people
can come in and do monthly rent for the individual offices,"
Referencing the Town Center concept, Mr. Partyka stated, "What better way to start with a couple of
nice buildings, two (2) stories, and maybe five (5) years frorn now, ten (10), fifteen (15) years from now
when the business warrants it, so maybe it tnight be a five (5) story if it's successful, which hopefully it
will be. So, at this point of time with the things that we've said, it's Supposed to be from an intensity
standpoint, it could be substantially bigger, larger, but at this point in time, all were doing is two (2)
stories, two (2) buildings, 20,000 feet." Remarks followed.
Mr. Partyka continued, "In terms of intensity of use, minimal intensity at this point in time, and its
consistent and compatible with the surrounding properties and most importantly, it fits the Town Center
concept to a 't' ."
Deputy Mayor Kevin Cannon referenced comments by Mr. Iriye regarding "flexible and versatile-, and
inquired, "Would that include that the office space would suddenly or could suddenly become
residential?"
Mr. Iriye responded, "I don't see how that would work, I would have to make substantial modifications.
There's no kitchens or anything like that in the office suite area. I mean I'd have to do a ma'
Deputy Mayor Cannon noted, "...]'here was discussion on reversion to residential."* Mr. Iriye said, "in
the office suites, I mean I can't see how - it's not built out at all to do that. What I was talking about
was the individual apartment suites-, those over time are likely to become all commercial units and so
those may go back and forth, just because they're designed so that they can be flexible, but the
individual offices on the other side, there's no practical way to do that."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAG L.: 12 OF 25
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Cannon referenced Mr. Partyka's comment about a five (5) story complex,
to which Mr. Partyka stated, "I said potentially, depending on how the business is, five (5), ten (10),
fifteen (15) years from now. Who knows, we may corne back, whoever that person may be and say,
`everybody is happy the way things are going, it's successful, this may be another way of providing a
little bit more intensity or density, but that won't even be an issue because you have to go through the
whole process again and wont even be a play until some future time, if any."
Deputy Mayor Cannon then inquired about a Development Agreement to accompany the Special
Exception. Mr. Fields remarked, "Staff's recommendation is that if the Commission were so inclined to
aprove
rot
his and perhaps with any conditions is that it's subject to memorializing that in a Developer's gent."
Commissioner Geoff Kendrick asked about parking and inquired, "Is it going to be all built out
concurrent with what you are proposing, here?" Mr. Partyka responded, "That's correct. It meets all the
standards and we've already had a parking study done." Commissioner Kendrick then mentioned
negotiations related to the cross easement. Mr. Fields stated, "Staff has not contacted the owner and
specifically asked about that."
Remarks continued on the number of units planned for this project and parking
Commissioner Ted Johnson mentioned Avalon Park, and asked if there were any proposed tenants for
this project. Discussion followed on this concept, residents driving demand, and the master lease for
Publix, to which Mr. Iriye said that Publix does not control his property. Mr. Partyka added, "We have
no one giving any options to have a say on this properly at this point in time,"
Special Exceptions and a Development Agreement were further addressed, Mr. Iriye then stated, "I was
not asked to negotiate a Developer's Agreement, If they had asked nie, I would have done that."
Discussion followed on this proposed project, Zoning, how many apartment units were currently in the
works in the City, school capacity, and apartments in the Central Florida area.
Regarding the Special Exception, Commissioner Jean Hovey asked Attorney Garganese. "Is there any
reason with a Motion why we couldn't include that the Special Exception only pertains to the landowner
now; that if it doesn't go through and it is sold, that it wouldn't travel to the next owner."
With further comments, Attorney Garganese suggested, "For example, if the Applicant in this case - the
condition is to have a Development Agreement, then certainly you can impose a condition on a
preliminary approval that requires the Applicant to negotiate the terms and conditions of a Development
Agreement to be subsequently approved by the Commission."
Attorney Gargarrese added, "In this case, the Special Exception is for multi -family - if you want to tie it
to this specific project, then a condition needs to be imposed on that approval. Historically, those types
of conditions have been imposed by the City Commission by Development Agreement. At the very
least. that condition Would need to be artfully presented in a Motion approved by the Commission,"

Comments followed on school capacity levels, traffic, area apartment units, school enrollment, and
Development Agreements.
Commissioner TiAnna Hale mentioned residents she had spoken to who were against apartments, that
our Comprehensive Plan needs to be reviewed thus suggested this matter be Tabled for a while and
thought a Visioning Workshop would be helpful. Commissioner Hale then asked to see something in
writing about other access being available for this project, should Tuskawilla Road and Blumberg
Boulevard be closed down.
Next, Commissioner Johnson said he thought retail space would be more important in this location, and
agreed with the recent comments about a review of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Town Center
District Code.

Ali-, .James Evans, 217 Alnioden Court, 1,17intefr° Springs, 1'Ioraida: agreed with what Mr. Paul Partyka
said regarding a Moratorium, inquired as to what the goal was in terms of changing Zoning laws, and
painted out that lie was in favor of Workshops.
"I WOULD LIKE THE CITY COMMISSION TO CONDUCT A WORKSHOP AND
CONSIDER ADOPTING IMPROVEMENTS TO WHAT WE HAVE AS EXISTING

IN ADDITION, SINCE THE TOWN CENTER DISTRICT CODE WAS ADOPTED ALMOST
TWENTY (20) YEARS AGO, THE TOWN CENTER HAS MAINTAINED ITS OWN
SEPARATE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR SOME OF THESE SPECIAL
ZONING PERMMITS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE
FOLLOW FOR OTHER CITY ZONING DISTRICTS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE TOWN
CENTER CODE IT REFERS TO SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS; IN THE OTHER AREAS OF
ZONING, THEY ARE CALLED CONDITIONAL USES.
ALTHOUGH THESE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES MAY HAVE
BEEN NECESSARY WHEN THE TOWN CENTER WAS IN ITS' INFANCY TWENTY (20)
YEARS AGO, I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR CITY
ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE APPLICANTS TO
STREAMLINE AND CONSOLIDATE THE TOWN CENTER SPECIAL ZONING PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS WITH THOSE OF THE GENERAL SPECIAL ZONING PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE REST OF THE CITY. HAVING ONE STET OF
SPECIAL ZONING PERMIT PROCEDURES WILL BE LESS CONFUSING AND MORE
EFFICIENT FOR CITY STAFF AND APPLICANTS, IN MY OPINION..
DURING THE WORKSHOP, THE CITY COMMISSION SHOULD CONSIDER
CONSOLIDATING THE TOWN CENTER REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR
SPECIAL ZONING PERMIT'S WITH THE CITY SIMILAR TO GENERAL ZONING PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES; THAT IS, CONDITIONAL USES, WHICH IS
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CITY AND WHAT WE CALL SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS
WITHIN THE TOWN CENTER.

LASTLY, I WANT TO SPECIFICALLY NOTE THAT I DID NOT INCLUDE ZONING
VARIANCES IN MY REQUEST FOR A MORATORIUM. A ZONING VARIANCE REQUEST
IS RESERVED FOR THOSE RARE INSTANCES WHERE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR
HARDSHIPS AFFECT THE LAND AND A PROPERTY OWNER CAN DEMONSTRATE
THAT APPLYING THE CODE AS WRITTEN CAUSES AN UNNECESSARY AND UNDUE
LEGAL HARDSHIP. SO, I THINK THIS IS BEING FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED.
VARIANCES ARE INTENDED TO BE A RELIEF VALVE TO PRVENT LEGAL HARDSHIPS
IN RARE CASES AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY TO IMPOSE A
MORATORIUM ON VARIANCE REQUESTS AND THAT THAT RELIEF VALVE SHOULD
REMAIN AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, DURING THE REQUESTED WORKSHOP, I WOULD
ALSO LIKE FOR THE CITY COMMISSION TO CONSIDER WHETHER WE CAN
IMPROVE ANY OF THE VARIANCE REQUIREMENTS OR PROCEDURES AS WELL,
