Checklist of Up4o-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date
volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has
been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS
(c) Height restriction. The installation of any
television dish antenna or satellite antenna shall
not exceed the height restriction set forth in the
zoning ordinance for that location.
The requirements set forth in this section are
intended to further the city's health, safety and
aesthetic objectives to protect the public by ensur-
ing that antennas are appropriately installed so
as to withstand the minimum wind loads estab-
lished by this chapter, and in the city's residential
districts, to maintain a visually pleasing environ-
ment free from unsightly technical equipment.
(Code 1974, § 5-9; Ord. No. 2012-15, § 2, 10-8-12;
Ord. No. 2012-15, § 2, 10-8-12)
Sec. 6-84. Accessory buildings.
(a) General. Accessory building means a de-
tached, subordinate structure, the use of which is
clearly incidental to, customarily associated with,
and related to the principal structure or use of the
land, and which is located on the same lot as the
principal structure or use. Accessory buildings
shall include storage buildings, toolhouses, pri-
vate, detached garages, bathhouses (used in con-
junction with swimming pool) and similar uses.
No more than two (2) accessory buildings shall be
allowed on any single lot. Accessory dwelling
units (ADUs) shall be subject to section 6-85 of
this Code and are not subject to the provisions of
this section.
(b) Height and size restrictions. The maximum
height of an accessory building shall be twelve
(12) feet measured from ground level. The maxi-
mum size of any structure shall be two hundred
forty (240) square feet.
(1) Detached, accessory buildings may exceed
twelve (12) feet in height or the maximum
size of two hundred forty (240) square
feet, provided the city manager or desig-
nee determines that each of the following
criteria is satisfied:
a. The accessory building does not ex-
ceed one-third (1/3) of the air-condi-
tioned square footage area of the
principal structure;
b. The accessory building is compatible
and harmonious with the principal
structure and the surrounding land
uses and structures;
c. The accessory building will not ad-
versely impact land use activities in
the immediate vicinity;
d. The height of the proposed accessory
building does not exceed the height
of the principal structure; and
e. The accessory building shall meet
the requirements of the applicable
zoning district including setback and
maximum lot coverage.
(2) An accessory building that is attached to
a principal structure by a breezeway is
not considered an accessory building, but
rather, is considered an expansion of the
principal structure and is subject to sat-
isfying all applicable requirements, includ-
ing, but not limited to, setbacks and max-
imum lot coverage, of the zoning district
in which the principal structure is lo-
cated. It may therefore, exceed the height
and size restrictions as noted above in
subsection (b)(1); however, it shall not
exceed the height of the principal struc-
ture. A breezeway is a covered passage-
way, which connects the principal struc-
ture to the proposed addition. It shall not
exceed thirty-five (35) feet in length. An
application for waiver of the maximum
breezeway length identified herein may
be made pursuant to the procedures set
forth in section 20-34 of this Code.

quired before construction or placement can take
place. No accessory building shall be permitted
prior to construction of the principal building.
(e) Setback requirements. Setbacks shall be
the same as those of the principal structure,
except that tl e rear y^rcl cletbnclr foal ^ccca ory
buildings that are not attached to the principle
structure by a breezeway may be reduced to six
(6) feet.
(1) No accessory building shall be constructed
or placed on an easement unless the ease-
ment expressly authorizes an accessory
building to be constructed and main-
tained within the easement area.
(2) Detached, private garages which exceed
twelve (12) feet in height or two hundred
forty (240) square feet in area must meet
the setbacks of the applicable zoning dis-
trict for the principal structure.

by conditional use permit under the following
conditions:
(1) The subject property has a residential
ruraI future land use map designation
under the city's comprehensive plan.
(2) The applicant submits for review and
consideration a detailed architectural ren-
dering of the proposed accessory building
and a plot plan drawn to scale.
(3) The city commission finds that:

The city commission of the City of Winter
w�7 iiings hEiI ,17W Viiliu5:
(a) The commencement or performance of work
for which a building permit is required
without such building permit being in
effect creates a grave threat to the public
health, safety, and welfare and jeopar-
dizes the safety of occupants of buildings.
(b) The performance of construction by con-
tractors who are not duly licensed, when a
contracting license is required, may pose
a danger of significant harm to the public
when incompetent or dishonest unlicensed
contractors provide unsafe, unstable, or
short-lived products or services.

violator demonstrates to the code enforcement
board that the violation is invalid or that the
violation has been corrected prior to appearing
before the code enforcement board, the code en-
forcement board may dismiss the citation unless
the violation is irreparable or irreversible, in
which case the code enforcement board may order
the violator to pay a civil penalty as set forth in

Sec. 13-76. Penalties; fines; liens, recording.
(a) Upon evidence of noncompliance of any
board order, the city attorney or nuisance abate-
ment coordinator shall request a hearing before
the board. Upon evidence establishing that a
noncompliance exists, the board shall enter an
order imposing conditions and any other mea-
sures to abate the public nuisance as provided by
this article, including the imposition of a fine.
(b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section
shall not exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00)
per day for a first occurrence of a public nuisance
and shall not exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00)
per day for a recurring public nuisance. However,
total fines imposed in any action brought pursu-
ant to this article shall not exceed fifteen thou-
sand dollars ($15,000.00). In determining the
amount of the fine, if any, the nuisance abatement
board shall consider the following factors:
(1) The gravity of the public nuisance;
(2) Any actions taken by the owner to correct
the public nuisance; and
(3) Any previous nuisances maintained or
permitted by the owner.
(c) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine
maybe recorded in the public records of Seminole
County and thereafter shall constitute a lien
against the land on which the public nuisance
exists and upon any other real or personal prop-
erty owned by the owner. Upon petition to the
circuit court, such order may be enforced in the
same manner as a court judgment by the sheriffs
of this state, including levy against personal prop-
erty, but such order shall not be deemed to be a
court judgment except for enforcement purposes.
A fine imposed pursuant to this article shall
continue to accrue until the owner comes into
compliance or until the judgment is rendered in a
suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this
section, whichever occurs first. Alien arising from
a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in
favor of the city, and the city may execute a
satisfaction or release of a lien in the same
manner as provided under section 2-61.5 of this
Code, or may otherwise seek to foreclose on the
lien. However, where the nuisance abatement
action is based on a stolen property nuisance, and
Supp. No. 19
is brought against a property owner operating an
establishment where multiple tenants, on one (1)
site, conduct their own retail business, the prop-
erty owner shall not be subject to a lien against
the owner's property or the prohibition of opera-
tion provision if the property owner elects to evict
the business declared to be a nuisance within
ninety (90) days after notification by registered
mail to the property owner of a second stolen
property conviction of the tenant. Any lien re-
corded against real property may be foreclosed by
the city and the owner of such real property shall
be liable for all costs incurred by the city, includ-
ing a reasonable attorney's fee through all appel-
late proceedings, associated with the recording of
all orders and foreclosure.
(Ord. No. 2003-33, § 22 9-8-03)
Sec. 13-77. Appeal.
A party aggrieved by a final administrative
order of the Nuisance Abatement Board shall
have the right to appeal said order to a court of
competent jurisdiction pursuant to the rules of
procedure of the court.

ises signs are the five (5) outdoor off -premises
sign structures (hereinafter referred to as "Exist-
ing Structure(s)") currently existing in the incor-
porated areas of the city (the "Existing Struc-
tures"). An inventory of these existing structures
dated October 22, 2001, is filed in the community

existing off -premise sign structures within unin-
corporated areas of Seminole County which are
annexed by the City of Winter Springs. Contem-
poraneously with annexation the city shall con-
duct a survey of all existing off -premise sign
structures within the annexed portions of unin-

to the expiration of the lease or other
agreement authorizing placement of the
existing structure on the property.
(4) An existing structure which is noncon-
forming due to zoning is removed due to
destruction, damage or other casualty
which results in destruction of fifty (50)
percent or more of the support structure
for or of fifty (50) percent or more of the
face of the sign.
A (5) n existing structure is removed or dis-
mantled by fifty (50) percent or more of
the support structure or fifty (50) percent

ment agreement with the city, except that
any development agreement after the ef-

ture subject to a development agreement
with the city prior to the effective date to

on the number of outdoor off -premises signs lo-
cated in the incorporated areas of the city shall be

amended by subsection (d) above less the total
number of existing structures which have been
removed as specified in subsection (e) above.
(g) In addition to the limitation specified above,
there is hereby imposed a limitation upon the
number, size and orientation of the sign faces
located upon the existing structures. From and
after the effective date of Ord. No. 2001-50 [Oct.
22, 20011, the number of sign faces on an existing
structure may not be increased, either by adding
an additional face oriented in a different direction
or by changing the display mechanism to permit
the display of multiple signs on a single sign face.
From and after the effective date of this Ord. No.
2001-50, no sign face on an existing structure may
be increased in size and the orientation of each
sign face located upon an existing structure may
not be changed.
(h) Except for an existing structure which is
non -conforming (which cannot be replaced), an
existing structure damaged or destroyed by flood,
fire, earthquake, war, riot, act of God or other
similar casualty loss may be reconstructed in the
same location with the same (or smaller or fewer,
as the case may be) size and number of sign faces.
An existing structure may not be relocated to
another location.

manufacturing and to authorized land uses and
activities which could cause adverse secondary
effects and influences on residential areas and
nonindustrial uses. Such lands are located in
close proximity to principal thoroughfares and
adequately separated (or buffered or both) from
residential uses. The purpose of this district is to

COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Sec. 20-346. In general.
The lands of the "C-3 Highway 17-92 Commer-
cial" District are particularly oriented to a wide
variety of commercial and professional office uses
which may generate excessive traffic from clien-
tele or capture large volumes of traffic from adja-
cent thoroughfares. The purpose of this district is
to encourage and develop the normal operation of
general commercial land uses listed here, under
such conditions of operation as will protect abut-
ting residential and other noncommercial uses,
and promote aesthetic and architectural har-
mony, attractiveness, and compatibility within
the community, and abide by the performance and
development standards of the city, county, state
and U.S. government. This district is intended for
lands adjacent to or easily serviced by collector
and major arterial roads adaptable to higher
traffic generating general commercial uses. Areas
of the city for which this zoning category may be
appropriate are designated on the future land use
map as "commercial."

this section. In the event of any conflict between
the residential densities established by this sec-
tion and any other applicable provision of the City
Code, the lowest residential density shall apply.
(b) In cases where applicable zoning district
classification of a property does not provide a
specific residential density cap or establishes a
maximum residential cap, the residential density
for a specific development project shall be estab-
lished by the city commission on a project -by -
project basis pursuant to the following standards
and criteria:
(1) The proposed residential density shall be
consistent with the city's comprehensive
plan.
(2) The proposed residential density shall be
compatible and in harmony with the sur-
rounding existing and planned uses.
(3) Adequate programmed city services exist
to accommodate the proposed residential
density including, but not limited to, wa-
ter, sewer, refuse, solid waste, parks and
recreation, and police and fire protection.
(4) The proposed residential density shall leave
ample green and open space on the sub-
ject property in order to avoid overcrowd-
ing and congestion of residents, to provide
sufficient on -site recreational and leisure
amenities, and to provide an aesthetically
pleasing and livable development project.
(5) The proposed residential density shall not
be contrary to any adopted economic de-
velopment objective of the city.
(c) Any residential density established by the
city commission under this section for a particu-
lar property shall become the maximum residen-
tial density allowed for that property, subject to
possible further reduction in density due to site
plan, final engineering, and conservation require-
ments and constraints.
