Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing LooseleafSupplements on apage-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.

energy device based on a renewable re-
source.
(9) All trees and plants, within a licensed
tree nursery, planted for harvest shall be
exempt fi•om the terms and provisions of

fore, whether to approve or deny an application
under this chapter, the city shall apply one (1) or
more of the following standards of review deemed
relevant:

significant obstacle to accessing and uti-
lizingpublic easements and rights -of --way.
(2) Necessity to remove trees which pose a
clear and obvious safety hazard to build-
ings and other improvements on a lot or
parcel of land. Ordinary small cracks or
uplifts in pavement, sidewalks, and non -

caused by settling and small roots shall
not be considered a safety hazard.
(3) Necessity to remove diseased trees or trees
weakened by age, storm, fire or other
injury or trees with severe structural de-
fects that pose a clear and obvious safety
hazard to people, buildings or other im-
provements on lot or parcel of land.

other such evidence of the necessity to
remove trees.
(5) The extent to which tree removal is likely
to result in damage to the property of
other owners, public or private, including
damage to lakes, ponds, streams, or rivers
through runoff or erosion.
(6) Any proposed landscaping including plans
whereby the applicant has planted or will
plant trees to replace those that are pro-
posed to be cleared.
(7) Topography of the land and the effect of

Sec. 5-8. Specimen or historic trees.
(a) Designation. Certain trees, herein referred
to as "specimen" or "historic" trees, are of espe-
cially great concern to the public because of eco-

historic association. Determination that a tree is
a historic tree shall be made by resolution of the
city commission after a recommendation of the
beautification board of Winter Springs, and the
city forester shall keep a permanent record of all
trees so designated by the city commission. Spec-
imen trees are all trees (other than "undesirable
trees" identified in Appendix A, dead trees or
diseased trees) which have a caliper of twenty-
four (24) inches or more in diameter. Designation
as an historic tree may occur in any one of the
following ways:

an historic tree as part of any master
plan, preliminary subdivision plat, or site
plan application. To do so, the applicant
shall submit an expert evaluation by a
landscape architect, horticulturalist, city
forester, or other horticultural expert as
part of the application.
(2) A property owner may request such des-
ignation at any time. To do so, the prop-
erty owner shall submit an expert evalu-
ation by a landscape architect,
horticulturalist, city forester historian or
other horticultural expert.
(3) The city's forester may recommend such
designation as part of their review of any
application for development, stating in
writing their reasons for such designa-
tion, or may make such designation as
part of an overall tree protection planning
program for the city or portion thereof.
(4) Historic tree designations shall be subject
to approval by resolution of the city com-
mission and the city commission may grant
tree replacement credits, upon granting
an historic tree designation.
(b) Removal. Notwithstanding any other pro-
vision of this chapter, specimen or historic trees
shall not be removed except for extraordinary
circumstances and hardships and only by final
permit approved by the city commission.

(1) 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.
(2) 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.

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

principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of
new public facilities to new users as established

as legal justification for, the impact fees adopted
under this division, the city commission hereby
adopts by reference the reports prepared by Land

fees were collected or for principal payments
(including sinking fund payments) on bonds to
expand or acquire such facilities or equipment.
Before authorizing an expenditure from any one

ARTICLE XII. MINIMUM COMIVI:UNITY
APPEARANCE AND AESTHETIC REVIEW
STANDARDS,
Sec. 9-600. Statement of findings and pur-
pose.
(a) The City of Winter Springs has evolved into
a unique family -oriented community with extraor-
dinary cultural character and beauty. Indicative
of Winter Springs' uniqueness is its reputation as
primarily a residential community with beautiful
mature trees, award -winning parks, scenic
lakefront vistas, and innovative development
projects such as the Tuscawilla PUD, Village
Walk, Cross -Seminole Trail, and the Towne Cen-
ter —within close proximity to several internation-
ally -renowned tourist destinations including Walt
Disney World, Universal Studios, Kennedy Space
Center and several major cruise ship terminals.
(b) In recognition of Winter Springs' unique-
ness, the city commission has determined that a
deliberate and conscientious effort must be made
by community leaders, in partnership with archi-
tects, planners, realtors, builders, and the citi-
zenry of Winter Springs, to protect the general
welfare of the community by preserving and im-
proving Winter Springs' aesthetic appearance,
beauty, and character —so as to ultimately en-
hance the quality of life and civic pride of all
people who reside, work, vacation, or spend time
in Winter Springs.
(c) The facilitator of this effort shall be the city
commission, whose primary purpose shall be to
encourage creative, effective, and flexible archi-
tectural standards and cohesive community de-
velopment consistent with the intent and purpose
of this article.
(d) The cultural character and beauty of Win-
ter Springs involves, among other things, the
aesthetic quality of all one sees in moving about
the entire community. Consequently, the ultimate
designers and developers of buildings and struc-
tures must be informed of the larger context in
which their particular works will be viewed within
the community. The task of the city commission
shall be to provide a mechanism by which pro-
posed new development and modifications or re-
habilitations of buildings and structures can be
§ 9-601
reviewed and approved, in a uniform manner, so
as to be in harmony with the comprehensive
architecturally related policies, objectives and stan-
dards adopted by Winter Springs for the overall
betterment of the community.
(e) It is recognized by the Florida Supreme
Court that zoning solely for aesthetic purposes is
not outside the scope of the police power of mu-
nicipal governments —like Winter Springs. It has
also been judicially recognized in Florida (and in
other jurisdictions) that the promotion of aes-
thetic beauty also protects property values, tour-
ism, and other economic interests which Winter
Springs deems vital to the community.
(f) Zoning is the single most powerful legal
enforcement of an overall urban concept, but
alone it does not create beauty, aesthetic order, or
amenity. The task of the city commission shall be
to preserve various elements of urban beauty and
require that new and redevelopment projects be -
developed enhance existing development and
the landscape of the community.
(g) The essential foundation of beauty in com-
munities is harmony. The plan for achieving beauty
must grow out of special local characteristics of
site, development and redevelopment potential.
Some local areas of natural beauty are Lake
Jesup, city parks, Cross -Seminole Trail, and con-
servation areas designated in the city's compre-
hensive plan. The vistas and visual delight of
these should only be enhanced.
(h) It is the intent and purpose of this article to
apply to all new commercial, industrial, institu-
tional, multi -family, and residential subdivision
development projects and major alterations thereto.
It is not intended to apply to individual single-
family residences, except as specified in section
9-607.

Sec. 9-601. Approval prerequisite for per-
mits.
(a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b) of
this section, all new building elevations and ac-
cessory structures, and proposed permanent signs
for buildings or structures, or major alterations

thereto, shall be approved by the city commission
before a permit is issued for any such building,
structure, or sign, which has an exterior visual
impact or effect on the community.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion, if the city manager determines that a build-
ing permit application is minor or insignificant,
the city manager may grant the permit without
submitting the application to the city commission
for approval, providing the permit is consistent
with the intent and purpose of this article. For
purposes of this paragraph, the phrase "minor or
insignificant" shall mean a small scale renovation
or modification project affecting a small site and
having a nominal exterior visual impact and
effect on the community. Any party or person

with other code provisions.
The requirements of this article shall be con-
sidered minimum standards. Further, they shall
be deemed supplemental of, and in addition to, all
other applicable codes adopted by the city includ-
ing, but not limited to, the Land Development
Regulations, and all fire and building regulations.

Sec. 9-603. Procedure.
(a) Submission of application. As part of the
site plan or subdivision review process, or upon
separate application created by the city manager,
all applicants for development approval subject to
the provisions of this article shall submit to the
city manager or his designee the application and
documents prescribed in section 9-605.
(b) Scheduling and notice of hearing. Upon
receipt of the required documents, the city man-
ager shall forthwith schedule a hearing on the
application before the city commission. Said hear-
ing shall run concurrently with the site plan or
subdivision review process to the extent feasible
and practicable. Public notice of the time and
place of the public meeting shall be posted at
places within the city deemed reasonably appro-
priate for providing such notice.
(c) Conduct of hearing; approval or denial. At

Sec. 20-231. In general.
The C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District
consists of lands abutting principal streets, the
frontages of which are especially adaptable to
selected light retail sales and services and office -
oriented professional services which serve the
community and which are not detrimental to
adjacent residential districts. Adjoining these lands
are residential districts that would be adversely
affected by a greater diversification of uses creat-
ing serious problems of traffic movement and
generation. The land uses under this district shall
promote spaciousness of land uses, minimize traf-
fic along adjacent thoroughfares and within resi-
dential districts, promote aesthetic and architec-
tural harmony, attractiveness, and compatibility
with nearby residential districts and within the
community, and abide by the performance and
development standards of the city, county, state,

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-
§ 20-320
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-
lay Zoning District Regulations of June 9, 1991
(Ordinance No. 661) and September 8, 1997 (Or-
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.

f. Parking lot landscaping require-
ments: Landscape strips of at least
six feet in width shall be provided
between parking isles of either
head -in or diagonal parking. Tree
spacing in parking lots shall be de-
termined by the city arborist based
upon tree species and location. The
objective is to create as continuous a
shade canopy as possible. A diversity
of tree species across the Town Cen-
ter is encouraged. To minimize wa-
ter consumption, the use of low-
water vegetative ground cover other
than turf is encouraged.

In lieu of landscape strips, landscape
islands can be provided. No more
than six (6) consecutive parking stalls
are permitted without a landscape
island of at least six (6) feet in width
and extending the entire length of
the parking stall. A minimum of one
(1) tree shall be planted in each
landscape island.
(11) Si�agle versus double loaded roads: Seg-
ments of single loaded Edge Drive are
designated for portions of the masterplan
in order to provide public access to signif-
icant natural areas and to enhance these
significant natural areas by facing them
with the fronts of buildings. Single loaded
Edge Drive may, by special exception, be
replaced with a double loaded alternative.
Double loaded roads may be appropriate
in locations such as: where there is no
significant natural view, in circumstances
where no significant negative visual im-
pact will be created by having the devel-
oped properties back up to the natural
area or park space, or in other locations
where it is deemed to be in the balanced
publicprivate interest to incorporate dou-
ble loaded roads for the economical use of
the property.
(12) Large footprint buildings: Buildings with
a footprint greater than twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet may be built within
the Town Center District by special excep-
tion only. Such buildings must abide by
all rules in this division with the following
special limitations:
a. Buildings may be one (1) story in
height on any frontage except Main
Street and Market Square, but shall
be at least twenty-four (24) feet in
height. This may be accomplished
with liner buildings or higher ceiling
heights and/or parapets.
b. To encourage use by pedestrians and
decrease the need for solely auto -
oriented patronage, large -Footprint
buildings must reinforce the urban
rharnotor of ihn TnA n (nntnr and
shall therefore continue a connected
system of walkable street frontages.
c. Buildings are exempt from maxi -

building footprints may not be larger
than a single block.

trash disposal facilities shall not face
streets, parks, squares or significant
pedestrian spaces.

fied specific procedures to address recurring is-
sues relating to the approval of locations for
telecommunications towers. Therefore, it is the
intent of this section to address the recurrent
issues pertaining to the approval of telecommuni-

Accordingly, the city commission finds that the
promulgation of this section is warranted and
necessary:
(1) To protect residential areas and land uses
from the potential adverse impacts of tele-
communications towers when placed at
inappropriate locations or permitted with-
out adequate controls and regulation con-
sistent with the provisions of law;
(2) To minimize the adverse visual impacts
resulting from telecommunications tow-
