Regular Meeting.
TITLE
Ordinance 2020-02 amending Chapter 20 Zoning related Town Center District
Code along with State Road 434 and Tuskawilla road corridors.
SUMMARY
During the City Commission workshop process, the City Commission directed the
City Attorney and staff to prepare an Ordinance to update Chapter 20 with
regards to setbacks, building frontage, buffer, and streetscape requirements in
the Town Center Zoning District and the 434 Corridor/Tuskawilla Road corridor.
Additionally, the City Commission directed the Ordinance to reduce multiple
waiver requests in the Town Center Code and to consolidate the Town Center
Code process with the regular development permit process under the City Code
for purposes of standardizing development permit procedure and eliminating any
unintended steps.
The City Commission has previously recognized that since the Town Center District
Code's adoption in 2000, the Town Center has operated, in many respects, under
its own set of rules and procedures especially regarding conditional use
applications which may be filed requesting waivers from the various standard
provisions of the Town Center Code. The City Commission has recently expressed
an interest in standardizing the process by consolidating it with the general
zoning regulations applicable to other zoning districts. The attached Ordinance
was prepared at the City Commission's direction.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Board shall conduct a public hearing and make
recommendation regarding Ordinance No. 2020-02.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER

Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby fully incorporated herein by
reference as legislative findings of the City Commission of Winter Springs.
Section 2. SR 434 and Tuskawilla Road Streetscape Corridor Requirements.
The City of Winter Springs Code of Ordinances, Chapter 20, Zoning, Article VII, SR 434 and
Tuskawilla Road Streetscape Corridor Requirements is hereby created as set forth below
(underlined type indicates additions and strikeout type indicates deletions):
CHAPTER 20 – ZONING
ARTICLE VII. S.R. 434 AND TUSKAWILLA ROAD STREETSCAPE
REQUIREMENTS.
Sec. 20-600. – Intent.
State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Road are major roadway corridors that run through the
heart of the jurisdictional limits of the City, and these roadways have unique streetscape attributes
that impact the overall appearance and quality of life of the Winter Springs community. The
intent of this Article is to create and maintain a sustainable streetscape strategy along the State
Road 434 and Tuskawilla corridors that will play an important role in forming the visual image of
Winter Springs being a sustainable city. It is further the intent of this sustainable streetscape
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2020-02
Page 3 of 13
strategy to mitigate against the occurrence of urban blight and deterioration, and to employ
streetscape strategies that more effectively manage stormwater runoff and reduce carbon footprint,
improve pedestrian space, health and safety, improve aesthetics, enhance property values, reduce
urban noise and light pollution, and overall help create a better place and image for present and
future residents and businesses within the City of Winter Springs. It is not the intent of this section
to mandate the dedication or conveyance of additional public right-of-way along said corridors
from development in order to accomplish the required streetscape treatment. This section also
does not apply to properties that were previously developed prior to the adoption of this article
unless and until such properties seek to redevelop.
Sec. 20-605. – Streetscape Requirements.
(a) There shall be a minimum streetscape area of 27 feet in depth for properties located along
the State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Road corridors.
(b) The total 27 feet of required streetscape area shall consist of three component parts which
include: (i) 5-foot landscape area; (ii) 6-foot sidewalk; and (iii) 16-foot landscape and treescape
area for planting canopy trees which will line the right-of-way and installing any authorized
street furnishings.
(c) Depending on the existing depth of available right-of-way for streetscape, the 27 feet will
either be entirely within the right-of-way or entirely on the subject property under development
or a combination of both the available right-of-way and the subject property. For example, as
illustrated in Section 20-610 of this article, there are three possible required streetscape
scenarios:
1.If there is 27 feet of existing right-of-way, the streetscape is required to be located
entirely within the right-of-way.
2.If there is no existing available right-of-way, the streetscape is required to be
located entirely on the subject property.
3.If there is only 10 feet of available right-of-way, the streetscape is required to be
located within the 10 feet of available right-of-way and within 17 feet of the subject
property, etc.
For purposes of this subsection, the term “available” means that the authority with jurisdiction
over the right-of-way has granted permission to construct, install and maintain the streetscape
required by this article.
(d) Streetscape trees required to be planted under this article shall be canopy trees of the size
and type authorized on the City’s approved species list for streetscape canopy trees. Trees shall
be planted within the required 16 foot landscape area between the sidewalk and roadway with a
minimum 15 foot separation between trees. Authorized street furnishing may also be installed
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2020-02
Page 4 of 13
and maintained within the 16 foot landscape area such as benches, bus shelters, lighting, trash
receptacles, bicycle racks, and public signage and art.
(e) Regardless of where the required streetscape is located, any building constructed on the
subject property shall be required to be satisfy the required front setback from the right-of-way
boundary. Buildings cannot be located within the required streetscape area so in instances when
the subject development property is required to be used for streetscape in excess of 25 feet, the
building front setback will be greater than 25 ft in order to accommodate the streetscape required
by this article.
Sec. 20-610. Appropriate Streetscape Illustrations.
The following streetscape illustrations are examples of streetscapes that comply with the
requirements of this article, and shall be used as a guide for determining compliance with this
article:

element that is applied to each story above three (3) stories of the development. A step
back requires that any portion of a building above three (3) stories is further pushed-in

enhancing its aesthetic character while exposing and emphasizing the ground-level
elements of a structure, increasing views of surroundings areas, and increasing solar and

DIVISION 2. - GENERAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT
AREA
***
Sec. 20-464. - Building height.
Proposed buildings greater that three (3) stories in height shall require conditional use review
and permit. However, Nno building shall exceed five (5) stories in height. For the purpose of these
design standards, building height shall be measured from ground level to the highest point of the
coping of a flat roof or the mean height level between eaves and ridge for gable, hip or gambrel
roofs. Cupolas, spires, domes, pinnacles, chimneys, penthouses and similar architectural features
may be erected to a height greater than any limit prescribed in this Code provided, each feature
does not exceed six hundred (600) square feet in area and does not extend more than thirty-feet
above the designated height limit. Building height is measured as the vertical distance from the
lowest point on the tallest side of the structure to the top of the cornice, eave or similar architectural
feature. Subject to aesthetic review approval, buildings greater than three (3) stories must have a
building step-back consisting of an architectural design element that is applied to each story above
three (3) stories of the development. A step back requires that any portion of a building above
three (3) stories is further pushed-in towards the center of the property for purposes of reducing
the scale of the building and enhancing its aesthetic character while exposing and emphasizing the
ground-level elements of a structure, increasing views of surroundings areas, and increasing solar
and wind pass through.
Sec. 20-465. - Setbacks.
It is the intent of the City to create a sense of place along the S.R. 434 Overlay corridor. It has
been determined that a zero-foot setback allows flexibility in site and building design, and
eliminates suburban sprawl. Buildings that are constructed to the property line are encouraged.
No improvement shall be located on any property closer to any property line than the minimum
setbacks set forth below:
