Checklist of up -to -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.

ness of a fine or penalty imposed in accor-
dance with this chapter, the violator shall

munity development director.
(3) The application shall include, but may not
be limited to the following:
a. The code enforcement case number;
b. The date upon which the violator
brought the subject property into
compliance with the City Code;
c. The factual basis upon which the
violator believes the application for
reduction or forgiveness of the lien
should be granted;
d. The terms upon which a satisfaction
or release of lien should be granted;
e. The reasons, if any, compliance was
not obtained prior to the order of
penalty or fine being recorded;
£ The reduction in penalty or fine
sought by the violator; and
g. Any other information which the vi-
olator deems pertinent to the re-
quest, including but not limited to
the circumstances that exist which
would warrant the reduction or for-
giveness of the penalty or fine.
This application shall be executed under
oath and sworn to in the presence of a
notary public.
(4) The violator shall submit at the time of
application payment to the city in the
amount necessary to reimburse the city

application for satisfaction or release of
lien.
(5) Upoi7 �ec;eipt of the application for satis-
faction or release of lien and payment
provided above, the community develop-
ment director shall confirm through the
code enforcement department that the
violation which resulted in the order im-
posing penalty or fine has been brought
into compliance. If the violation has been
brought into compliance and there is no
current code violation upon the property
in question, the community development
director shall place the application upon
the agenda of the next regularly sched-
uled meeting of the code enforcement board
for the City of Winter Springs.
At the hearing before the code enforce-
ment board, the board shall review and
consider the application for satisfaction or
release of lien, provide the violator with
an opportunity to address the board re-
garding the application for satisfaction or
release of lien, and to take the testimony
of other interested parties, including but

(6) Upon review of the application and any
testimony presented, the code enforce-
ment board shall recommend to the city
Supp. No. 16 144
ADMINISTRATION
commission approval, approval with con-
ditions, or denial of the application for
satisfaction or release of lien.
The code enforcement board, in determin-
ing its recommendation, shall consider
the following factors:
a. The gravity of the violation;
b. The time in which it took the viola-
tor to come into compliance;
c. The accrued amount of the code en-
forcement fine or lien;
d. Any previous or subsequent code vi-
olations;
e. Any financial hardship;
(7) Any other mitigating circumstance which
may warrant the reduction or satisfaction
of the penalty or fine;
(8) After a recommendation has been ren-
dered by the code enforcement board, the
community development director shall
place the application for satisfaction or
release of lien upon the agenda of the next
regularly scheduled city commission meet-
ing. The city commission may take action
solely based upon the sworn application
and recommendation of the code enforce-
ment board, and information provided by
the violator in regard to the application
for satisfaction or release of lien;
(9) The city commission may approve, ap-
prove with conditions, or deny the appli-
cation to satisfy or release of lien. If the
city commission approves the application
to satisfy or release the lien and the
approval is conditioned upon the violator
paying a reduced penalty, fine, or any
other condition, the satisfaction or release
of lien shall not be prepared or recorded
until the condition(s) placed by the com-
mission have been satisfied.
The violator shall have thirty (30) days in
which to comply with the conditions im-
posed by the city commission. Failure of
the violator to comply will result in the
automatic denial of the application for
satisfaction or release of lien.
If the application is denied or if the appli-
cation is automatically denied due to the
failure of the violator to comply with the
conditions imposed by the city commis-
sion, the violator shall thereafter be barred
from applying for a subsequent reduction
or forgiveness of the lien for a period of
one (1) year from the date of denial. Dur-
ing the one-year period, the lien may only
be satisfied and released upon full pay-
ment of the fine or penalty imposed in
accordance with this chapter.
(Ord. No. 2001-62, § 2, 1-14-02)
Sec. 2-62. Duration of lien.
No lien provided under the Local Government
Code Enforcement Boards Act shall continue for a
period longer than twenty (20) years after the
certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been
recorded, unless within that time an action to
foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of
competent jurisdiction. In an action to foreclose
on a lien, the prevailing party is entitled to
over all costs, including a reasonable attor-
neys fee, that it incurs in the foreclosure. The
local governing body shall be entitled to collect all
costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid
lien. The continuation of the lien effected by the
commencement of the action shall not be good
against creditors or subsequent purchasers for
valuable consideration without notice, unless a
notice of lis pendens is recorded.

or lot so divided shall in every respect meet the
criteria established elsewhere in this Code for the
category of zoning and other relevant Codes un-
der which the property is zoned and each parcel or
lot shall meet the engineering requirements set
out elsewhere in this chapter. In such instance,
and only within the strict application of this
section, may the full provisions of this chapter be
waived and variances granted thereto. For plat-
ted areas of a planned unit development, the
owner must not only comply with the provisions
t of irs chaptci, but must also comply with the

Sec. 9-5. Variances.
(a) The city commission may grant a variance
from the terms of this chapter when such vari-
ance will not be contrary to the public interest,
and where owing to special conditions, a literal
enforcement of the provisions of this chapter
would result in unnecessary hardships. Such vari-
Supp. No. 16 562

ante shall not be granted if it has the effect of
nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter.
(b) A written application for such variance
must be submitted demonstrating that special
conditions exist which are peculiar to the lands,
structures or required subdivision improvements
involved and which are not applicable to other
lands, structures or required subdivision improve-
ments. Application shall be accompanied by the
fee for a variance as specified in the fee schedule
currently in effect.
(c) Before any variance shall be granted, a
public hearing on the proposed variance shall be
held by the city commission. Notice of such public
hearing shall be published fifteen (15) days prior
to the hearing in a newspaper of general circula-
tion in the county. Such notice shall also be posted
fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing in three (3)
separate places in the city, and be mailed to all
persons who are record owners of property within
one hundred fifty (150) feet of the subject prop-
erty.
(d) The city commission shall make findings
that the requirements of each portion of this
section have been met. The city commission shall
further make a finding that the reasons set forth
in the application justify granting of the variance
and that the variance is the minimum variance
that would make possible the reasonable use of
the lands, buildings or other improvements.
(e) The city commission shall make a further
finding that the granting of the variance would be
in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of this chapter and will not be injurious to the
surrounding territory or otherwise detrimental to
the public welfare.
(f) In granting any variance, the city commis-
sion may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards, to such variance, and when made a
part of the terms which the variance is granted a
violation of any term or condition shall be deemed
a violation of this chapter and shall be punishable
as such.

(2) Minimum distance and setbacks. The park-
ing space, if on the same lot with a main
building, shall not be located within the
front yard required by the sections of this
Code for such building. If not on the same
lot with the principal building, the park-
ing lot shall not be closer to any street line
than the established building line on ad-
jacent properties, or less than the setback
required for the district in which the
parking area is located. Further, any wall,
fence of hedge developed along the street
side of the parking lot shall observe the
building setback requirements applicable
on such street or streets.
(3) Screening and landscaping. All parking
lots shall be effectively screened on each
side which adjoins or fronts property sit-
uated in any residential or multiple dwell-
ing district by a wall, fence or densely
planted, compact hedge. Such wall, fence
or hedge shall be not less than three (3)
feet nor more than four (4) feet in height
and shall be maintained in good condi-
tion.
(4) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate
any off-street parking lot shall be so ar-
ranged as to reflect the light away from
adjoining properties.
(5) Plot plan showing location of parking area.
No application for a building permit for a
new, enlarged or altered structure or im-
provement or use shall be approved un-
less accompanied by a plot plan drawn to
scale, showing the required off-street au-
tomobile parking facilities as specified
herein; nor shall a permit be issued for
the improvement of a parking area to
serve as an accessory use to an existing
building or buildings until a plat plan
drawn to scale has been submitted in
accordance with the provisions contained
herein.
(6) Certificate of occupancy or use permits. No
certificate of occupancy or use permits
will be issued upon completion of any
building or addition which would require
an increase in parking space or off-street
loading and unloading space, unless and
until all off-street parking and loading
space requirements, shown upon the plans,
are made a part of the building permit,
shall be in place and determined by the
building official to be ready for use.
(7) Reserved.
(8) Loading space. As required under off-
street loading and unloading regulations,
the space supplied for such off-street load-
ing and unloading purposes shall not be
construed as supplying required off-street
parking space.
(9) Location of parking spaces. Parking spaces
provided pursuant to this section must be
graveled or hard -surfaced and properly
drained and shall be located on the same
property as the principal building, or on a
properly zoned lot within three hundred
(300) feet of the building. Such distance
shall be walking distance measured from
the nearest point of the parking lot to the
nearest boundary of the property on which
the building is located and that the park-
ing lot is required to serve. In determin-
ing automobile parking spaces, if not shown
by actual plan and count, three hundred
(300) square feet of gross area per parking
space will be used in computing the num-
ber of spaces. When units of measure-
ments determining the number of re-
quired off-street parking and off-street
loading spaces result in a requirement of
a fractional space, any fraction up to and
over one-half shall require one (1) off-
street parking space or one (1) off-street
loading space.
(10) Collective action relative tooff-street par•h-
i�zg azzd loadizzg. Nothing in the sections
of this Code shall be construed to prevent
the joint use of off-street parking or off-
street loading space for two (2) or more
buildings or uses if the total of such spaces,
when used together, shall not be less than
the sum of the requirements for the vari-
ous individual uses computed separately
in accordance with the off-street parking

regulations and off-street loading and un-
loading regulations of the sections of this
Code.
(11) Mixed asses. In the case of mixed uses, the
total requirements of off-street parking
and loading space shall be the sum of the
requirements of the various uses com-
puted separately as specified in the off-
street parking regulations and off-street
loading and unloading regulations of the
sections of this Code, and the off-street
parking and off-street loading and unload-
ing space for one (1) use shall not be
construed as providing the required off-
street parking or off-street loading space
for any other use.
(1G) Use of �-egaci�•ed of/=street parking by an-
other building. No part of an off-street
parking lot required for any building or
use for the purpose of complying with the
Provisions of the sections of tliis Coils,
shall be included as a part of off-street
parking area, similarly required for other
buildings or uses, unless the type of struc-
ture indicates that the periods of usage of
such structures will not be simultane-
ously used with each other, such determi-
nation to be made by the planning and
zoning board; or unless the size of the
off-street parking lot is sufficient to com-
ply with the provisions of the sections of
this Code.
(13) Remote parking lots encumbered. Where
the provisions of the off-street parking for
a building or other use established subse-
quent to the adoption of this section in-
volves one (1) or more parcels or tracts of
land that are not a part of the plat on
which the principal use is situated, the
applicant for a permit for the principal
use shall submit with his application for a
building permit an instrument duly exe-
cuted and acknowledged, which subjects
such parcels or tracts of land to parking
uses in connection with the principal use
for which it is available; provided, how-
ever, that such encumbrance shall only be
effective for the period of time during
which the certificate of occupancy is in
effect for the particular use for which the
building permit is issued. However, the
new occupant must still meet the require-
ments for such new occupancy as pro-
vided by the sections of this Code. The
applicant shall deposit the necessary re-
cording fee and upon issuance of a build -
permit, the building official of the city
shall cause such instrument to be re-
corded in the office of the clerk of the
county circuit court. Such encumbrances
shall be null and void and of no effect, if
and when the city shall rescind or termi-
nate off-street parking requirements for
the building to be served by the encum-
bered lot, parcel or tract.
(14) Poaoers of variaaace of city commission.
The city commission is hereby authorized
and empowered after a proper hearing
thereon with duo notice to the intntnetnd
parties, to permit a variation or modifica-
tion in the required location of off-street
parking space, if after investigation by
such board it is found that such variation
is necessary to prevent unreasonable hard-
ship or to secure an appropriate develop-
ment of a specified parcel of land which
has peculiar or exceptional geographical
or topographical conditions, or is a size,
shape, dimension, or location that it can-
not be reasonably developed in accor-
dance with the provisions of sections of
this Code, as herein authorized will not be
inconsistent with the spirit and purpose
of this section. In granting any variations
or modifications as herein authorized such
city commission may impose conditions
and limitations in respect to the proposed
use and development of the premises as in
its judgment are necessary in order to
provide adequately for the public safety
and to do substantial justice to the parties
involved, having in mind the public inter-
est, safety and welfare in connection there-
with; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall be construed to limit or cur-
tail the existing authorities and powers of
the city commission, and this provision

tion to such existing powers and authori-
ties.
(15) Accessory parking in residential areas. A
lot or lots separated by a common bound-
ary from a commercial district but located
in a R-lA or R-1AA single-family dwelling
district may be used as a free parking lot
or lots to service the contiguous and ad-
joining commercial use or uses, provided,
however, that:
a. No advertising signs are erected in
the area.
b. The setback from the fi•ont property
line shall be the same as for the
district in which the lot or lots are
located.
c. All automobile parking lots shall be
effectively screened on each side
which adjoins or fronts property sit-
uated in any residential or single-
family dwelling district by a wall,
fence or densely planted compact
hedge. Such wall, densely planted
hedge or fence shall not be less than
four (4) feet in height and shall be
maintained in good condition.
d. No structures shall be erected in
such areas.
(16) Common boundary construed. For the pur-
pose of (15) above, the term common bound-
ary shall be deemed to include all or any
part of a line between a commercial dis-
trict and an R-1, R-lA or R-1AA single-
family dwelling district, or the separation
of a commercial district from an R-1,
R-1A, and R-IAA single-family dwelling
district by an intervening public street,
alley or other way where the parcels in
question lie wholly or partly in a position
directly opposite from each other in such a
manner that in the absence of the public
street, alley or way, the parcels would
have a common boundary line in whole or
in part.

DIVISION 3. POLICE, FIRE, PUBLIC
BUILDINGS AND PARKS AND RECREATION
Sec. 9-391. Generally.
The city commission hereby establishes police,
fire, public buildings and parks and recreation
impact fees under the requirements of this divi-
sion. The city commission finds that the Florida
Growth Management Act mandates that local
government plan comprehensively for future
growth and that this division is consistent with
that mandate. In addition, Section 163.3202(3),
Florida Statutes, encourages the use of innova-
tive land development regulations which includes
the adoption of "impact fees." Further, new land
development activity generates public facility and
service demands within the city and it is reason-
able to require new development to pay a fair
share of the cost of expanding new public facilities
and services attributable to new development.
This division is enacted pursuant to the Florida
Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes, the City of Winter Springs Com-
prehensive Plan, and other applicable law autho-
rizing a municipality to set rates, fees, and charges
for new development.

Sec. 9-391.1. Levy and purpose.
For the purpose of helping to defray the cost of
new or expanded police, fire, public building and
parks and recreation facilities and equipment
attributable to new construction within the city
limits, impact fees are hereby levied on new
construction within the city limits in accordance
with the provisions of section 9-391.5, payment of
fees, and other provisions of this division. This
Editor's note —Ord. No. 2003-04, § 2, adopted April 28,

division is intended to be consistent with the
principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of

adopts by reference the reports prepared by Land

Sec. 19-163. stormwater management util-
ity fee created.
(a) A stormwater management utility fee (the
"fee"), is hereby created and imposed on all devel-
oped property within the city for services and
facilities provided by the stormwater manage-
ment system. The developed property owner is
responsible for payment of the fee. For the pur-
poses of imposing the fee, all developed property
within the city shall be classified either as:
(1) Residential developed property; or
(2) Nonresidential developed property.
(b) The city manager or his designee shall
obtain a list each year from the Seminole County
property appraiser of property within the city and
shall assign each parcel a classification of residen-
tial developed property or nonresidential devel-
oped property.
(Ord. No. 721, § 31 7-27-92)
Sec. 19464. Schedule of rates.
(a) The stormwater management utility fee
shall be adopted from time to time by ordinance of
the City Commission (the "rate ordinance"), and
shall be calculated for each developed property as
follows:
(1) The fee for residential developed property
is the rate for one (1) ERU multiplied by
the number of dwelling units existing on
the property. Accessory dwelling units that
are separately metered for utilities shall
be considered an additional dwelling unit
for purposes of calculating and billing the
fee to the accessory dwelling unit. That is,
Fee = ERU x number of Dwelling Units.
(2) Tllc f c for ror.� csiu�..,,ia: Nr�Ner y i5 she
rate for one (1) ERU multiplied by the
numerical factor. The numerical factor is
obtained by dividing the total impervious
area in square feet of the nonresidential
property by the square footage for one (1)
ERU as set forth in the rate resolution.
The resulting calculation is, Fee = ERU
rate x (parcel impervious area expressed
in square feet/the square footage for one
(1) ERU).
(b) The minimum fee for developed property,
whether residential or nonresidential, is equal to
the rate for one (1) ERU, subject to reduction as
set forth in subparagraph (c) below.
(c) Facility credit.
(1) In order to encourage the improvement of
the quality of stormwater runoff, a reduc-
tion in the stormwater management util-
ity fee is authorized for those developed
properties which have a stormwater man-
agement facility designed and constructed
for the purpose of stormwater pollution
reduction.
(2) A reduction in the fee is allowed for a
particular developed property only if the
stormwater runoff from the property is
treated by a stormwater management fa-
cility that has been designed, constructed
and is maintained properly for the pur-
pose of stormwater pollution reduction. If
it is determined by the director that the
S11pp. No. 19 1258
UTILITIES
stormwater management facility has not
been, or is not currently being, properly
maintained as designed, the director may
disallow the on -site stormwater quality
management facility credit.
(3) For applicable properties as determined
by the director, the fee shall be reduced by
twenty-five (25) percent. The reduced fee
will, therefore, be calculated as the fee
pursuant to the rate resolution multiplied
by the factor of 0.75 (fee x 0.75).
(d) Undeveloped property. There shall be no
stormwater management utility fee charged to
undeveloped property that has not been altered
from its natural state by dredging, filling, re-
moval of trees and vegetation or other activities
which have disturbed or altered the topography
or soils on the property.
(Ord. No. 521, § 4, 7-27-92; Ord. No. 2002-20, § 6,
6-24-02; Ord. No. 2004-01, § 2, 1-26-04; Ord. No.
2010-08, § 4, 10-25-10)
Sec. 19-165. Billing, payment, penalties and
enforcement.
(a) Statements for the stormwater manage-
ment utility fee shall be rendered monthly in
accordance with a monthly billing cycle adminis-
tered by the city for all properties subject to the
fee. Only developed property shall be subject to
the fee.
(b) The stormwater management utility fee is
for services furnished to the developed property
and the fee therefore must be paid by the property
owner. If the property is tenant -occupied, the
property owner may request that the city bill the
tenant for such fee. Such instructions shall be in
writing. If the property is tenant -occupied and the
tenant is to be billed for such fee, any delinquent
fee shall be charged against any utility deposit
then held by the city. If the tenant fails to pay the
fee, the property owner shall remain liable for the
fee.
(c) Any fee remaining unpaid on a developed
property for ninety (90) days shall constitute a
lien in favor of the city against said property, and
the city attorney is authorized and directed to
record a lien for such unpaid fee in the public
records of Seminole County, Florida. Such lien

Sec. 20-36. Expiration of conditional use,
variance and waiver approvals.
(a) Any conditional use, variance or waiver
approved by the city commission under this Divi-
sion shall expire two (2) years after the effective
date of such approval by the city commission,
unless a building permit based upon and incorpo-
rating the conditional use, variance, or waiver is
issued by the city within said time period. Upon
written request of the property owner, the city
commission may extend the expiration date, with-
out public hearing, an additional six months,
provided the property owner demonstrates good
cause for the extension. In addition, if the afore-
mentioned building permit is timely issued, and
the building permit subsequently expires and the
subject development project is abandoned or dis-
continued for a period of six months, the condi-
tional use, variance or waiver shall be deemed
expired and null and void.
(b) The city commission hereby finds that there
may be one or more unexpired conditional use,
variance, or waiver permits previously granted by
the City that may have never been acted upon or
abandoned by the property owner. The city com-
mission finds that these unexpired permits may
now be detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare of the community due to changed
circumstances in the surrounding neighborhood
and changes in law. Therefore, the provisions of
this section shall apply retroactively to any unex-
pired conditional use, variance, and waiver previ-
ously granted by the city commission. It is the
intent and purpose of this subsection to void any
previously granted conditional use, variance, and

waiver permit that does not comply with the
provisions of this section and to require the prop-
erty owner to reapply, under current circum-
stances, for said permit should the property owner
desire or need said permit.

All uses allowed hereunder shall abide by the
performance and development standards of the
city, county, state, and U.S. government. Areas of
the city for which this zoning category may be
appropriate are designated on the future land use
map as "industrial."

DIVISION 12. TOWN CENTER DISTRICT
CODE
Sec. 20-320. Intent.
(a) The City of Winter Springs seeks to create
a town center based upon traditional standards
for city building. In February, 1998 the City of
Winter Springs created a plan for the town center
through a design session involving the commu-
nity and a team of design professionals. This
division is based on that plan. Traditional urban
design conventions have been applied to create a
palette of squares, parks, and street types that
form the framework for the town center. These
conventions are derived from a number of sources
in planning literature. Where approvals, interpre-
tations and judgements are left to the discretion
of city officials, these officials shall use the follow-
ing texts for guidance as to best practices:
Civic Art, by Hegemann and Peets;
Great Streets, by Allan B. Jacobs;
The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of
Community, by Peter Katz;
AIA Graphic Standards, 9th Edition;
The Lexicon of the New Urbanism, by Duany et al,
Congress for the New Urbanism;
Shared Parking, by Barton-Aschman Associates,
The Urban Land Institute
(b) This division repeals the Town Center Over -
Zoning District Regulations of June 9, 1997
(Ordinance No. 661) and September 8, 1997 (On
dinance No. 676). Should any conflict arise be-
tween the provisions of this division and other
local land development regulations for the City of
Winter Springs, the provisions of this division
shall apply. To the extent that this division is
silent where other codes govern, they shall apply.
(c) How To Use this division:
(1) Determine whether your use is permitted
in the Town Center.
(2) Review the general provisions which ap-
ply throughout the district.
(3) Determine which street type your lot fronts.
(If you have a corner lot, you must deter-
mine the primary space or street based on
the hierarchy in section 20-325.)
(4) Next, review section 20-325 for provisions
about the street type, square, or park that
corresponds to the lot.
(5) Finally, review the building elements and
architectural guidelines which contain spe-
cific rules for buildings.

unit development within twelve (12) months of
the date of the city commission approval of any
final development plan, the applicant, owner or
developer shall commence substantial develop-
ment according to the final development plan. For
the purpose of this section, "substantial develop-
ment" shall be defined as follows:

within the final development plan, one
hundred (100) percent of all roads, utili-
ties and drainage facilities plus more than
forty (40) percent of all buildings must be
completed.
(2) Where the final development includes more
than ten (10) acres but less than twenty-
five (25) acres, eighty (80) percent of all
roads, utilities and drainage facilities, plus
thirty (30) percent of all buildings must be
completed.
(3) Where the final development plan in-
cludes more than twenty-five (25) acres,

percent of all roads, utilities and drainage
facilities plus at least twenty (20) percent
of all buildings must be completed.

percent of all buildings must be com-
pleted.
(5) The final development plan approval shall
be declared null and void if substantial
development, as specified above, has not

of up to twelve (12) months may be granted,
upon a showing of good cause, if requested
by the applicant and approved by the city
commission. The determination of good
cause shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of the city commission. If after

rezoned pursuant to a preliminary or fi-
nal development plan under this division,
which plan subsequently is declared null
and void shall not be effected because the
underlying plan is declared null and void.
The zoning classification of property re-
zoned pursuant to a final and/or prelimi-
nary development plan shall retain the
PUD zoning classification despite the fact
that the original preliminary and/or final
development plan may be declared null
and void.
(b) These time restrictions have been estab-
lished to promote the orderly and progressive
development of PUD districts and to protect the
public interest. In accordance with this purpose
anI intent, the planning and zoning board may
recommend, and the city commission may ap-
prove variances from the definition of substantial
development provided that such variance and
reasons for such requested action are presented,
approved and recorded at a public hearing before
the city commission.

(g) Co -location of communications antennas.
The City of Winter Springs desires to minimize
the number and general proliferation of commu-
nication towers. This section is intended to insure
that telecommunication towers that are permit-
ted within the City of Winter Springs are utilized
in a manner that provides for the maximum
number of service providers upon each tower
within the context of technical feasibility and
safety.
Further, this section is intended to minimize the
number of such towers within the city. Specifi-
cally, as a minimum, telecommunications towers
exceeding one hundred (100) feet in height shall
be engineered and constructed to accommodate
three (3) communication providers. The city shall
have the authority to require, specify and other-
wise stipulate that telecommunication towers be
engineered and constructed in a manner that
provides for three (3) co -locations as part of the
conditional use and/or site plan approval pro-
cesses. As a condition of approval of all telecom-
munication towers and to the extent that co -
location is technically feasible, all owners of existing
telecommunication towers shall, upon request of
another service provider and for reasonable and
agreed upon consideration, permit additional com-
munication service providers upon such existing
telecommunication tower. Applicants desiring to
construct new telecommunication towers shall
submit written documentation that clearly ex-
plains the need for and reasons for the proposed
construction of a new telecommunication tower
rather than locating proposed antenna array/
communication equipment upon an existing tower.
Such documentation shall include plans of exist-
ing and future towers by the applicant/provider in
question, correspondence with existing telecom-
munication tower owners and may include a cost
analysis of alternatives. Existing service provid-
ers, e.g., existing telecommunication tower own-
ers, that are unwilling, upon request of another
service provider, to allow co -location upon such
existing tower, shall submit written documenta-
tion to the city with reasons and justification as to
why such co -location cannot be accomplished.
Competition between service providers shall not
be considered to be a valid reason for preventing
or otherwise obstructing co -location. The city shall
determine whether the applicant and/or existing
provider are reasonable and correct in their re-
spective assertions. If the city determines that
either party is being unreasonable or otherwise
uncooperative, the city shall deny the applicant's
request for a new tower and/or the city may cause
the existing telecommunication tower's approval
to be revoked and said existing tower to be re-
moved. Such determination involving existing tower
owners shall be made in writing and adopted by a
majority vote of the city commission upon holding
an advertised public hearing and notification of
the owner at least fifteen (15) days prior to such
hearing. Upon adoption of such determination by
the city commission, the existing tower owner and
the property upon which such tower is located
shall be considered to be a violation of the city's
Land Development Regulations and shall be sub-
ject to any and all remedies and penalties thereof.
To minimize adverse visual impacts associated
with the proliferation and clustering of telecom-
munications towers, co -location of communica-
tions antennas by more than one (1) carrier on
existing or new telecommunication towers shall
take precedent over the construction of new single -
telecommunications towers as follows:
(1) Proposed communications antennas shall
co -locate onto existing telecommunica-
tions towers.
(2) Type of construction. A telecommunica-
tions tower which is reconstructed to ac-
commodate the co -location of an addi-
tional communications antenna shall be
of a monopole tower type. Stealth -de-
signed monopoles are encouraged.
(3) Height. An existing telecommunications
tower may be modified or rebuilt to the
allowed height including antennas by com-
pliance with this article;
(4) Onsite-location.
a. A Telecommunications tower which
is being rebuilt to accommodate the

nications antenna may be moved

b. After a telecommunication tower is
rebuilt to accommodate co -location,
only one (1) tower shall remain on
the site;
(h) Certification of compliance with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) NIER Stan-
dards. Prior to receiving final inspection by the
Winter Springs Building Department, documented
certification shall be submitted to the FCC, with

ing that the telecommunications facility complies

electromagnetic radiation (NIER).
(i) Abandonment.
(1) In the event the use of any telecom7mani-
cations tower has been discontinued for a
period of one -hundred eighty (180) consec-
utive days, the tower shall be deemed to
be abandoned. Determination of the date
of abandonment shall be made by the
building official who shall have the right
to request documentation and/or affida-
vits from the telecommunications tower
owner/operator regarding the issue of tower
usage. The telecommunications tower own-
er/operator shall provide all requested
information within ten (10) working days
of a request being made, and failure to so
provide shall be deemed to constitute one
hundred eighty days (180) days of non-use
of the tower. Upon such abandonment,
the owner/operator of the tower shall have
an additional ninety (90) days within which
to:
a. Reactivate the use of the tower or
transfer the tower to another owner/
operator who makes actual use of
the tower; or
b. Dismantle and remove the tower.
With regard to towers that received
conditional use approval, ninety (90)
days after dismantling or the expira-
tion of the two -hundred seventy (270)
day period as set forth in this sec-
tion, the conditional use and/or vari-
ance for the tower shall automati-
cally expire.
(2) The City of Winter Springs, upon aban-
donment, and at its discretion, may as-
sume ownership of the tower at no cost, or
require the owner to dismantle the tower
at the owner's expense. If the decision is
to dismantle the tower, the property shall
be cleared of all appurtenances and re-
turned to its natural state.
(3) An appropriate surety instrument to as-
sure dismantling costs shall be provided
by the owner prior to a tower construction
permit.

(c) On corner lots, the front yard shall be
considered as abutting the street upon which the
lot has its least dimension. The rear lot, in this
case, shall be opposite the front yard.
(d) The following structures are specifically
excluded from the setback restrictions:
(1) Steps and walks:
(2) Landscaping and landscape berms;
(3) Planters three (3) feet in height or less; or
(4) Other improvements as may be permitted
under applicable regulations of the city.
The planning and zoning board will consider any
request for the placement of such other improve-
ments within a setback, only after a design review
board review and recommendation. In determin-
ing whether to recommend city consent, the de-
sign review board may consider, without limiting
the scope of their review, the following: (i) the
extent to which any hardship exists that would
justify a variance from the normal setback require-
ments; (ii) the aesthetics of the proposed improve-
ments and their visibility from common roads and
adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or objections
of adjacent property owners; and (iv) the nature
and use of the proposed improvements. It is the
owner's burden and responsibility to provide such
information and documentation as may be re-
quested by the design review board in order to
justify to the design review board that the intru-

(1) Steps and walks;
(2) Landscaping and landscape berms;
(3) Planters three (3) feet in height or less or
(4) Other improvements as may be permitted
under applicable regulations of the city.
The planning and zoning board will consider any
request for the placement of such other improve-
ments within a setback, only after a design review
board review and recommendation. In determin-
ing whether to recommend city consent, the de-
sign review committee may consider, without
iting the scope of their review, the following: (i)
the extent to which any hardship exists that
would justify a variance from the normal setback
requirements; (ii) the aesthetics of the proposed
improvements and their visibility from common
roads and adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or
objections of adjacent property owners; and (iv)
the nature and use of the proposed improve-
ments. It is the owner's burden and responsibility
to provide such information and documentation
as may be requested by the design review board in
order to justify to the design review board that
the intrusion of additional improvements within
the normal setbacks is beneficial to the corridor
and will not adversely affect adjacent property
owners.
