Hlcdherent or
te The Winter
~ :n'Center and its
co ighborhoods, designed
oximately 200 acres of
Ically located mostly
ieveloped land, will serve as
..focal point for the entire city.
I1skawilla Road, designed as the
10 street, runs perpendicular to
434, a recently widened 4-lane
arterial highway. As a main street,
~;ruskawilla Road will link a
"Market Square" to the quiet
center, "Magnolia Square."
Adjacent and connected to these
core areas are mixed-use
neighborhoods that will include
office, retail, and residential uses.
The Cross Seminole Trail
currently runs through the site and
will be repositioned to offer
alternate pedestrian and bicycle
paths into the heart of the Town
Center and equestrian / hiking
trails around the periphery. The
trails will feature views of pristine
wetland preserve areas.

In March 1998, the Winter Springs City Commission
adopted the conceptual master plan and authorized
Dover Kohl to produce a graphic code. Dover Kohl
has since produced this code and is assisting the City
with adopting the code as part of its system of land
development regulations for the town center. Based
upon the Master Plan, the City won a $5 million grant
from Florida's State Trails and Greenways Program to
purchase the network of green spaces.

TOWN CENTER DISTRICT CODE
Ll!lCTvrl
The Town Center District Code was
created to replace Winter Springs'
existing land development regulations,
to legalize mixed-use development as
envisioned in the Master Plan. The
highly graphic, simple-to-use Code
pre-approves desirable development,
making it easier for developers to "do
the right thing".

A Return to the
Town Center
In our time the traditional town center form
has been rediscovered as smart for
business. The real estate industry has
learned that "lifestyle" market positioning
is lucrative. In retail, residential, office and
entertainment markets, developers are now
reintroducing the physical features of the
livable and walkable downtown
neighborhoods one finds in historic
American towns. These include Main
Streets with wide sidewalks, elegant
squares, a rich mix of urban architecture,
and tree-lined streets. Building these
features today takes a concerted effort by
both local government and developers; it
almost always requires a thorough re-
tooling of the official land development
regulations, and tends to require some
rethinking on the part of developers'
consultants, too.
Not surprisingly, the urge to create such
places in maturing suburbs is now a
nationwide phenomenon. Cities are
incomplete (and they do not feel or
function like healthy cities) without
centers, and that's why the town center will
make Winter Springs a better place to live.
For example, today local citizens travel far
to find many things they will find here,
once the main shopping street is started.
Likewise, the new office locations will
create alternatives to the miserable
commutes many professional business
owners endure today. Given the city's
maturing population, an urbane residence
in the town center will also be ideal for
empty nesters who would enjoy, say, easy
walks to a restaurant.
New street trees provide shade
and traffic calming along S.R.434
Buildings front important public green spaces acr oss streets.
Street-oriented traditional buildings encourage walking to the Main Street.
