COMMISSION ACTION: [ Proposed Policy 9 under Objective A of Goal 3 in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Winter Springs] 9) GREENEW A Y INTERCHANGE HIGHER INTENSITY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT a. Purpose of GreeneWay Interchange Higher Intensity Planned Development District The GreeneWay Interchange Higher Intensity Planned Development District is designed as a mixed use category which combines a strategy to attract higher density residential and commercial enterprises oriented toward a major transportation nexus of an expressway and arterial road and minimize urban sprawl. This FLUM district is specifically designed to: * Provide high density residential development in close proximity to economic centers for employees. * Discourage urban sprawl by clustering economic development activities along growth corridors. * Promote business development in close proximity to the regional road network providing high visibility and convenient access. * Ensure sufficient availability of land to realize the economic development needs of the City. * Provide for choice and diversity in living arrangements and work environments. b. Higher Intensity Planned Development General Uses and Intensities The GreeneWay Interchange Higher Intensity Planned Development District is designed to provide a variety of land uses, development intensities and target industry development. The uses are: * Planned commercial developments, corporate business parks, office complexes, commercial, service and hotel uses. * Planned medium to high density residential developments. * Planned mixed use developments. The ultimate land uses within these areas are subject to economic cycles and the timing of individual property owner(s) proposals and therefore should not be specifically designated on the Future Land Use Map. Rather, these areas should remain flexible in terms offuture land use while ensuring that the uses developed can meet particular standards for facility capacity and land use compatibility. c. Development Intensities: The City shall apply the following development intensities as a general guide. The criteria for establishing appropriate intensities include, but are not limited to compatibility with surrounding existing and planned uses, adequacy of existing and programmed City services and facilities, economic development objectives, and consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan and site characteristics. Residential Uses: Medium Density High Density 5 - 10 Dwelling Units per net acre 11 - 20 Dwelling Units per net acre Non-Residential Uses: 1.0 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) d. Minimum Requirements in the Land Development Regulations. To maximize the use ofland designated for higher intensity and to prevent sprawl or scattered development of higher intensity uses into adjacent residential areas, a set of minimum permissible building height and land use density requirements should be incorporated into the Land Development Regulations. e. Services and Facilities These land uses require a full range of urban services and facilities: central water and sewer, paved roads, solid waste collection, fire protection, emergency medical, law enforcement, and street lights. The incorporation of transit facilities is encouraged if transit service to the area is available. f Special Provisions 1. Zoning The permitted zoning classification allowed under this land use is Planned Unit Development. 2.

Conditions may be imposed as part of the permit approval. 3. Timing Development must be timed concurrent with facility capacity to ensure the provision of adequate public services according to adopted standards and facility plans. 4. Options Options for stepping down building heights and transitioning land uses should be considered to minimize visual and noise impacts on adjacent residential developments. 5. Land Use Mix The GreeneWay Interchange HIP District will be developed to accommodate an overall mix of land uses as described below: Land Uses Minimum Maximum Residential Uses 25% 50% Non-Residential Uses 50% 75% 6. Open Space/Recreation A minimum of twenty-five (25%) percent of the overall site must be designated as recreation and common open space.

In non-residential areas, landscaped pedestrian connections between buildings, parking and adjacent development is required, 7. Transportation and Parking: Higher Intensity Interchange Planned Developments represent major traffic generators and attractors. The following standards shall be used during the review and approval of development to maintain roadway capacity and minimize traffic congestion for residents and through traffic: t. Internal access coordinated between and among individual parcels ofland; 11. Limited access points through cross access easements and joint use driveways; 111. The development of pedestrian and bicycle facilities as a means to reduce internal roadway travel demands; tv. Parking lots and structures to provide for shared parking, location of parking to provide safe pedestrian access to buildings and for convenient park-and-ride lots. 8.
