Future Land Use Map designation from Seminole County “Suburban Estates” to the City
of Winter Springs “Town Center District”.
Background Data:
The subject property was used as agricultural land in the 1900’s adjacent to the SAL
railroad until the early 1970’s when the agricultural business discontinued operation and a
small home was constructed on the property. The property was acquired by the City of
Winter Springs on July 23, 2021 and, in 2022, by Ordinance 2022-06 the property was
annexed into the City of Winter Springs. The dilapidated home located on the property
was subsequently condemned and demolished. The subject property has remained
vacant since.
Public Notices:
Public Hearing Notices were mailed to all owners of real property adjacent to and within
approximately flve-hundred (500) feet of the subject property and to all Homeowner’s
Associations registered with the City Winter Springs and located within one-half (1/2) mile
of the subject property (35 notices) on December 13, 2023.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Analysis:
The following summarizes the data and issues which staff analyzed in reviewing this
application:
Through Ordinance 2024-02, staff is requesting the City of Winter Springs “TC (Town
Center)” land use designation be applied to the 1.04 acre parcel. The requested Future
Land Use Map designation is intended to remove the existing Suburban Estates/A-1
(agricultural) designations from the property, thereby protecting the property so it may
be used for purposes beneflcial to the public such as parks and recreation, and/or
government uses. The requested Future Land Use Map designation was determined by
evaluating the prevailing character of the immediate surrounding properties as well as
by evaluating the land use and future goals and objectives of the City.
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment Analysis:
The following criteria is set forth by City of Winter Springs Code of Ordinances Section 15-
36 which has been analyzed by staff to form a recommendation:
Future Land Use Amendment Criteria & Analysis
1. Whether the proposed amendment will have a favorable or unfavorable
effect on the city's budget, or the economy of the city or the region;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment is not expected to have an adverse effect on
the City’s budget. Moreover, additional property set aside for parks has the
potential to have a positive impact on nearby property values. The
proposed Future Land Use designation is consistent with the City’s goals
of providing flrst class park amenities which is a factor in attracting future
growth (See Recreation and Open Space Element policy 1.1.10 and Future
Land Use Element policies 2.1.6 and 2.2.3).

2. Whether the proposed amendment will diminish or negatively impact the
Level of Service (LOS) of public facilities;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment will allow for the preservation of a FLU
designation which will have a low impact on the LOS of public facilities, as
use of the property will be reserved for civic and public uses. The
property may be used to complement or enhance existing Central Winds
Park amenities, which may include parking, open space, or other public
uses. Given that the property is only one acre in size, the amendment will
not negatively impact the level of service of public facilities such as
sanitary sewer, solid waste, and potable water.
3. Whether there will be a favorable or unfavorable impact on the
environment or the natural or historical resources of the city or the region
as a result of the proposed amendment;
Analysis:
There are no foreseen negative impacts on environmental, natural
resources, or historical resources of the City or the region. Preserving the
property for civic or public uses may have a favorable impact on the
environment or natural resources of the City.
4. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the state comprehensive plan set forth in
Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, and the East Central Florida Regional
Planning Council, as amended from time to time;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the State Comprehensive Plan, most notably Recreation and
Open Space Element policy 1.1.10 which encourages acquisition of park
land.
5. Whether the City is able to provide adequate service from public facilities
to the affected property, if the proposed amendment is granted, and
whether the proposed amendment will promote the cost/effective use of
or unduly burden public facilities;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment will not pose any signiflcant increase in public
facilities (water, sewer, etc.) and will promote the effective use of public
facilities. The property is intended, for now, to be held as open space and
therefore will not lead to a signiflcant increase in the use of public facilities.
6. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding
neighborhoods and land use;
Analysis:
56
P U B L I C H E A R I N G S A G E N D A | T H U R S D A Y , J A N U A R Y 4 , 2 0 2 4 | P A G E 4 OF 5
The surrounding neighborhoods and land uses are similar to and
compatible with that of the subject property. Vacant properties are located
to the west. The single-family homes on agriculturally zoned land to the
north are buffered by vegetation and will be protected from commercial
development by the proposed amendment, which would allow only for
civic and public uses on the property. Central Winds Park is to the east and
is compatible with the proposed amendment and the character of the
surrounding neighborhoods.
7. Whether approval of the proposed amendment will cause the
Comprehensive Plan to be internally inconsistent;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan. The proposed
amendment would promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan by
ensuring that the subject property receives an appropriate City Future
Land Use Designation which is compatible with the Future Land Use
designations of surrounding properties.
8. Whether the proposed amendment will promote or adversely affect the
public health, safety, welfare, economic order, or aesthetics of the city or
region;
Analysis:
There are no foreseen adverse impacts of this project on the public health,
safety, welfare, economic order, or aesthetics of the city or region.
Moreover, preserving the subject property for civic and public use may
result in promoting the public health, welfare, and aesthetics of the City.
9. The contents of any Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) prepared
pursuant to 163.3191, Florida Statutes;
Analysis:
Not applicable.
10. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and in compliance with
law;
Analysis:
The proposed amendment is consistent and in compliance with law.
11. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent, and not in confiict, with
the legislative policy directives established by the City Commission
including, but not limited to, those set forth in the City's Comprehensive
Plan and City Code, adopted master plans, economic development goals
and objectives, community redevelopment plans, and brownfleld areas.
