West: CHRONOLOGY OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: November, 1994 - Mrs. Clara Joyce applied to change the zoning on the property from RU and C-2 to R-3 to permit the remodelling of an existing residence to a 25 bed Adult Congregate Living Facility (ACLF). December, 1994 - Seminole County Planning Department objects to R-3 since it would allow up to 60 dwelling units on the parcel and that the county believed that to be incompatible land use with the "Low Density Residential" and "Suburban Estates" designations in the county's comprehensive plan. Board of County commissioners objects in letter dated December 12, 1994. January 18, 1995 - P & Z Board a proposed amendment to Sec. 20-267, the R-U Zoning District, to include ACLFs as permitted use was considered. The P & Z Board passed a motion to recommend that the City Commission approve the ordinance with a change that "the maximum number be six residents per acre owned". December 11, 1994 - The City Commission tabled the proposed rezoning. January 9, 1995 - The City Commission held a first reading on proposed ordinance (575) to add an eleventh permitted use, an ACLF, in the R-U "Rural Urban" Dwelling District. At the request of the peti tioner the proposed ordinance was delayed from further consideration. April 20, 1995 - Mrs. Joyce submits request to create two zoning districts: R-3 to cover the ACLF area, and R-1 to cover the remaining area of about 6.5 acres. June, 1995 - Applicant withdraws request discussion with city Commission. after APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Sec. 20-57 states The Planning and Zoning Board shall serve. . .to recommend to the City Commission the boundaries of the various original zoning districts. .and any amendments thereto. . .act on measures affecting the present and future movement of traffic, the segregation of residential and business districts and the convenience and safety of persons and property in any way dependent on city planning and zoning. II. REZONING ANALYSIS: THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES THE DATA AND ISSUES WHICH STAFF ANALYZED IN REVIEWING THIS APPLICATION. A. JUSTIFICATION FOR REZONING REQUEST: 1. Applicant states "To develop a single family residential subdivision of R-IA lots." 2. With the provision of city water and sewer service to applicant's proposed residential development on the subject property, a case is made for higher density development than under present R-U "Rural Urban" (minimum 1 DU/acre) zoning designation. The subject property is within the City's sewer and water service area. Sanlando Land, Inc. has indicated it will develop the property utilizing city water and sewer. 3. The land adjacent to the applicant's property north of Orange Ave. in the remainder of the county enclave is county zoned R-1 "Single Family Dwelling District" (8,400 sq. ft. minimum lot size), with the following setbacks: front yard 25 feet; side yard 10 feet inside, 25 feet street side; rear yard 30 feet. 4. The City's zoning designation of R-1A requires a minimum lot s~ze of 8,000 square feet, with the following setbacks: front yard 25 feet; side yard 7.5 feet, 15 feet street side provided the corner lot faces the same way as all other lots in the block. (If the building faces the long dimension of the lot, or where corner lots face a different thoroughfare than other lots in he block, the 25 foot or greater setback must be maintained from both thoroughfares.); rear yard 25 feet. 5. The new st. Johns Landing single family residential subdivision to the northeast (inside the City) is at the same density range as the applicant's request of "Lower Density Residential" (1.1 to 3.5 DU/acre) on the City's Future Land Use Map. The zoning is PUD with the setbacks set at: front yard 25 feet; side yard 10 feet inside, and 15 feet for side yards adjacent to streets; rear yard 25 feet. 6. There is the similarity of zoning in the county enclave with the applicant's requested City zoning designation of R-1A. The setbacks in the county R-1 zoning district, the City R-1A zoning district, and the setbacks as set in the st. Johns Landing PUD are almost the same. B. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT TO SURROUNDING LAND USES: The applicant's proposed zoning change from City zoning designation of R-U "Rural Urban Dwelling District" to the city's zoning designation of R-1A "One Family Dwelling District" is in conformance with the county R-1 zoning district and the st. John Landing PUD for setbacks. Hence, from the viewpoint of appearance for location of structures from the edge of the right-of-way, side and rear property lines, there will be a compatibility and therefore no nuisance in this regard. Due to an oversight that the subject parcels are designated as "MIxed Use" rather than "Lower Density Residential" on the City's Future Land Use Map (FLUM), the applicant indicated that he will apply for a small scale comprehensive plan amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan FLUM requesting a City Future Land Use Map designation of "Lower Density Residential" (1.1 to 3.5 DU/acre). This requested designation is compatible with the county's Future Land Use Map designation of "Low Density Residential" (maximum 4 DU/acre). The parcels designated county "Low Density Residential" are located immediately north of the subject property on the north side of Orange Ave. Sanlando Land, Inc. requests approval of the R-1A "One-Family Dwelling" District contingent upon Sanlando Land, Inc. receiving approval by the City Commission of a small scale comprehensive plan amendment redesignating ;. i ! I i the subj ect parcels 17 and 17 A from "Mixed Use" to "Lower Density Residential". In the development of this property, the site Plan Review Board, as indicted in Sec. 9-347 City Code, will review for "compliance with all city ordinances, for conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan, for compatibility with locally recognized values of community appearance and design, for conformity with the guidelines on vehicular traffic access, ingress, egress, internal circulation, parking; concerning emergency vehicle access and concerning pedestrian movement; for assurances of satisfactory utility service for the health and welfare of the community; to assure compatibility with other improvements and the need for adequate light, air, access and privacy; to assure that the natural qualities and characteristics of the land will be preserved and that the project site will be appropriately landscaped and provisions established for the maintenance of same; to assure that adequate setbacks will be provided within the planned project and that provisions are made for the supervision and maintenance thereof; and to assure that the aesthetic and architectural details of the planned project are compatible with the surrounding area and serve to enhance the character of that area. The site plan shall be reviewed by the board and approved, disapproved or properly referred by such board in accordance with the results of its review." C. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Development of a single-family residential subdivision on the parcel will add to the City'S tax base, over that of existing vacant land. D. COMPATIBILITY WITH CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed rezoning would be compatible with the Future Land Use Map designation of "Lower Density Residential" that has will be requested by the applicant. E. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: since the applicant's parcel is located in a general area that has been considered-for inclusion in the "Town Center", the following may be noted: Disclosure: * The applicant was apprised of the City'S S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan involving the Town Center and possible expansion northward, eastward and southward. The applicant expressed the desire, never-the-less, to process and review his application for development. rezoning for a residential Roads: * Staff contact with Conklin, Porter and Holmes, which is preparing the update to the Traffic Circulation Element of the Comprehensive Plan revealed that present data do not show that the "winter Spring Loop" and "Tuscawilla Bypass" are needed for capacity purposes and maintenance of LOS on S.R. 434. * without a minor or major arterial road running along the north side of the high school, there will not be demand for commercial property adjacent to the high school on the north side or along Orange Ave. to Lake Jesup. Town Center Focus: * A desire has been expressed to expand the Town Center area to include areas just east of Tuscawilla Road north of S.R. 434 and to include especially the area around the intersection of Tuscawilla Road and S.R. 434 as a possible focal point of the Town Center due to its visibility and activity. * The focus of the Town Center will naturally tend to be along the major roadways and intersections of such roadways for they attract commercial establishments and activity County Enclave: * Presently, all of the land between Central Winds Park to Tuscawilla Road, from the lake shore to Orange Ave. is in the county. The existing land use is large "bowling alley" lot residential of 1 acre+. Much of this area is designated "Conservation" on the county's Future Land Use Map (Fig. 2.0.1) Environmental: * The shore area in the county enclave between Central Winds Park to Tuscawilla Road back approximately 250 to 300 feet from the edge of Lake Jesup is within the 100 year flood prone area, according to F.E.M.A. Flood Insurance Rate Map (12117C0135) . . -.... -." h__. __. __._ .______u_.__.~.4_.____.__..~__._.__ Comprehensive Plan: * Proposals to locate commercial along the shore of Lake Jesup would be in conflict with the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1 "Conservation Land Use" which states "The County shall continue to regulate development and preserve environmentally sensitive areas where soils, topography, wetland and other constraints exist through the "Conservation land use designation and associated provisions of the Land Development Code." * The county's Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Future Land Use designation of "Conservation " involves an overlay land use designation consisting of protected wetland and flood prone areas. All development must comply with W-1 "Wetlands Overlay" and FP-1 "Flood Prone" Zoning Classification requirements. The thrust of these regulations is to discourage development in the "Conservation" designated areas through more restrictive policies and standards of the county Comprehensive Plan (ref. Policies 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3) and the county Land Development Regulations (Sec. 30-961 to 30.968; Sec. 30-981 to 30.989) * Should the city eventually annex the county enclave, the City' s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations would apply which discourage development within environmentally sensitive areas. * The city's Comprehensive Plan has a similar designation of "Conservation" "to apply to all natural drainage features. . . . (Goal 2, Objective A, Policy 1 Land Use Element). The natural hydrological, topographical, biological and ecological functions of natural drainage features, creeks and wetland areas lying within the boundaries of the City shall be protected (Goal 2, Objective A, Policy 3 Land Use Element). * Specifically with respect to Lake Jesup, the city's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Objective A, Policy 3 g. states a. "Development adjacent to Lake Jesup shall not be permitted to include light industrial, industrial, or commercial land uses. b. In addition to these restrictions, the following provisions to protect the natural functions of the Lake shall be established: i. An upland buffer zone, to be a minimum width of fifty (50) feet, shall be provided between any development activity and the lakej ii. All development along the lake shall be required to meet a more restrictive impervious surface ratio standard. All development along the Lake shall provide a minimum of 40% pervious surface. iii. No direct discharge of stormwater into the Lake shall be permitted, in accordance with criteria established by the SJRWMD. * The Conservation Element Objective B, Policy 2 states "Prohibit development dependent on urban infrastructure within land delineated to be conservation, as determined by field review by state agencies of proposed engineering plans. m. FINDINGS: A. ZONING COMPATIBILITY: The applicant's request for the City's R-1A zoning designation on the subject property would be compatible: a. with the existing zoning of the area to the north which is county designation R-1 "Single Family Dwelling District" and to the east which is City designation of "PUD". b. with the applicant's stated intention to request the City's Future Land Use Map designation of "Lower Density Residential (1.1 to 3.5 DU/acre). B. ENVIRONMENTAL 1. The subject property is not within the 100 year flood prone area as indicated on FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (12117C0135-Ej April, 1995). 2. There apparently are no wetlands located on parcel 17 property as indicated in Figure F-8 of the City's Comprehensive Planj but a- substantial portion of parcel 17A may have a hydric hammock according to Figure F-8. This is an isolated . '._i." wetland. Before any development could occur, st. Johns River Water Management District would have to give approval for elimination of this wetland. B. NUISANCE POTENTIAL: No significant nuisance should result from designating the subject property a city single family residentially zoned district, specifically R-1A. The existing land use .in the surrounding area is residential and vacant land to the north and east and west. To the south is the high school property with a retention basin to the south of the subject property. C. PUBLIC FACILITIES: 1. The subject property is not within service area for extension of sewer service. the county and water 2. The subject property is within the City's service area for extension of sewer and water service. 3. The City is able to extend to the subject property the urban services it provides to the other areas of the City. 4. The applicant has stated his intention to request City water and sewer. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD: staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval to the City commission the request by Doug Maise of Sanlando Land, Inc. for a City zoning designation of R-1A on the 9.9 acre parcel (Parcel # 26-20-30-SAR-OBOO-Ol80) based on the findings indicated in III above and contingent upon the City Commission approving a small scale coprehensive plan amendment redesignating parcels 17 and 17A from "Mixed Use" to "Lower Density Residential". .~ CITY OF WI NTER SPRI NGS, FLORIDA 1126 EAST STATE ROAD 434 WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA 32708-2799 Telephone (407) 327-1800 AGENDA Planning mid Zoning Board/LPA Regular Meeting Wednesday - February 5, 1997 - 7:00 p.m. Municipal Building - Commission Chambers 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 I.
