Planning Division PLANNING & ZONING BOARD / LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY AGENDA ITEM: II. D. TOWN CENTER LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT LG-CPA-3-99 STAF'P REPORT: The Community Development Department - Planning Division Staff Report to the Development Review Committee on the above proposed comprehensive plan amendment is attached along with the minutes of the DRC on this item. NOTE: NOTE: This proposed plan amendment came before the Local Planning Agency on June 2, 1999 for review and recommendation for the Spring, 1999 Amendment Cycle. Due to various changes to the proposed Town Center Concept, the plan amendment was not submitted to the Florida Department of community Affairs for the its review and comment during the Spring, 99 Amendment Cycle. As a result it is now being resubmitted as part of the review process for the Fall, 1999 Amendment Cycle. Minutes of the LP A June 2, 1999 meeting is attached (behind the DRC minutes of October 19, 1999). CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA 1126 EAST STATE ROAD 434 WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA 32708.2799 Telephone (407) 327.1800 Communily Development Depl. Planning Division MEMORANDUM TO: Development Review Committee FROM: Thomas Grimms, A1CP Comprehensive Planning/Zoning co~. ......./ ~ October 14, 1999 DATE: RE: DRC Review of Proposed Town Center Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for October 19th meeting, Current Status of the Town Center Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment DRC REVIEW OF PROPOSED TOWN CENTER PLAN AMENDMENT: The proposed Town Center will have a significant impact on the City's development and image within central Florida. Town centers are roots of the local and regional economy, and are key to a sustainable tax base. The development of the Town Center requires the transmittal of a major comprehensive plan amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan and will also require a new zoning district be created to realize the Town Center Concept Plan pr'epared by Dover, Kohl & Partners and adopted by the City Commission. The Development Review Committee historically has been the staff level forum to review developments proposed in the City. As the proposed plan amendment will have a significant impact on how land development will occur within the boundaries of the proposed Town Center, the DRC needs to review and make recommendation to the Local Planning Agency (LP A). The LP A will review the amendment and make recommendation on 11/3//99 to the City Commission whether the plan amendment should be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and whether it should be adopted, adopted with changes, or voted down at a second public hearing to be held by the Commission. CURRlH:NT STATUS: The Town Center plan amendment is scheduled for the November 3'd Local Planning Agency meeting. The recommendation of the LP A then goes to the City Commission. [per 163.3174(4) F. S. and 9J-II(I)(a)1. F.A.C.] The plan amendment will be scheduled for the City Commission meeting on December 13111 as the first public hearing (transmittal) on the proposed amendment. [per 163.3184(15)(b)1. F.S. and 9J-II.(I)(a)(2. F.A.C, ] Presently, the area of the Town Center as indicated in the Dover Kohl plan has the following Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designations: Mixed Use Commercial Rustic Residential Public Buildings Recreation Conservation NATURE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE: The Town Center plan amendment would create a new FLUM designation of "Town Center" . While the Town Center FLUM designation also allows mixed use, it emphasizes greater flexibility compared to the present "Mixed Use" FLUM designation. The present Mixed Use category restricts residential density to no more than 10 DU per acre. The proposed Town Center FLUM designation has no restriction. The present Mixed Use FLUM designation also states a proportion of uses; "No mixed use shall have a non-residential use exceeding 50% of the gross land area. Open space shall not be less than 20%, and public uses, utilities or wetland conservation easements no less than 5%. Residential uses may take up to 75% of the gross land area." The Town Center FLUM category proposes no such restriction. BACKGROUND: The Town Center large scale comprehensive plan amendment arose out of the City Commission's intent to carry out the requirement of the Traffic Circulation Element of the Comprehensive Plan in Goal 1, Objective A, Policy 3c which states in part ". . .the creation in the undeveloped central area of Winter Springs of a primary civic, business and service focus for the City." The Commission held a series of meetings encouraging public input on a proposed Town Center. At those meetings, the Commission heard loud and clear from the residents that they did not want anymore strip shopping centers or "big box developments". This input prompted the Commission to consider alternative development approaches with the eventual decision to embark upon a "neo-traditional" or "new urbanism" concept for the Town Center. Dover, Kohl & Partners were contracted by the Commission for their expertise in type of development. Gibbs Planning Group, Inc. was brought on board to perform the economic study for the Town Center, which they did. Dover, Kohl held workshops to receive input from residents and property owners, which resulted in a Town Center Concept Plan being adopted by the City Commission, The Commission directed Dover Kohl & Partners to prepare a Town Center (Zoning) Code, which they did. A first reading of Ordinance 707 to adopt the Town Center Code was held, but the second reading and adoption was rescheduled a number of times due to concerns and objections of principally one property owner. The previous master developer, experiencing difficulties with certain property owners, particularly one, notified the City of its desire to withdraw from the Town Center project. A new master developer was contracted by the City. The new master developer expanded the Town Center project from the original 230+ acre concept to include approximately 900+ acres. The Master Developer proposed development of a hotel- convention complex near the beltway on the Casscells Trust property and on the Elizabeth Morse Foundation property, This proposed development and the "expanded" Town Center Concept is still under study with the master developer trying to secure commitments from property owners, The proposed Town Center plan amendment that is schedukd to go before the LP A on November 3m only includes the original area proposed by Dove-Kohl & Partners. PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW PROCESS: [Fall Amendment Cycle] October 19, 1999 Development Review Committee review and recommendation to the Local Planning Agency November 3, 1999 Local Planning Agency review and recommendation to City Commission December 13, 1999 City Commission votes to transmit plan amendment to DCA for its review and ORC Report, Near End of February, 2000 DCA sends ORC Report to City.

Florid!!, published by the Soil Conservation Service of the US. Department of Agriculture notes: "While many factors other than soils are important in planning for orderly development, soil quality is a basic and continuing factor. It demands full consideration, not only as a guide in determining use but also as a measure of the kind and magnitude of problems that must be overcome for specific uses. The decisions on urban uses are not necessarily determined on the basis of suitability. The physical characteristics and qualities of the soil become paramount, and interpretations are more directly concerned with the limitations, restrictions, or hazards and suggests corrective practices needed to prevent serious mistakes. " Development Review Conunittee October 19, 1999 meeting Fall Amendment Cycle. 1999 6 Town Center Amendment LG'{;P A.1-99 The soils in the proposed Town Center area are: [ (#) - indicates soil map designation] (6) Astatula-Apopka fine sands, 0 to 5% (9) Bassinger and Delray fine sands (10) Bassinger, Samsula, and Hontoon soils, depressional (11) Bassinger and Smyrna fine sands (13) EauGallie and Immokalee fine sands (20) Myakka and EauGallie fine sands (24) Paola-St. Lucie sands, 0-5% slopes (27) Pomello fine sands, 0-5% slopes (31) Tavares-Millhopper fine sands, 0-5% (35) Wabasso fine sand (6) Astatula-Apopka fine sands, 0 to 5%.

TOPOGRAPHY: The subject area ranges from a high offorty-five (45) feet (above mean sea level) in a north-south direction encompassing the areas on the west side of S.R. 434 and on the east side of Tuskawilla Road to twenty-five (25) feet toward Winding Hollow residential subdivision and toward Howell Creek wetland area. 3. J<LOOD PLAIN AREA: A review of the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (12117C0I35-E; April 17, 1995) indicates the eastern portion of the subject area towards Howell Creek is located within the 100 year flood plain area. 4. NATURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES. No natural or historic resources are known to exist on the subject land at this time. 5. WILDLIFE AND SPECIES DESIGNATED AS ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SPECIAL CONCERN: No federally listed endangered plants are known to exist in the county. It is essential that surveys of such species be completed prior to site development of parcels c,ontaining native vegetation communities. The subject parcel does not have native vegetation communities due to prior clearing and replanting with long-needle pine. 6, NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES, The proposed future land use change from "Mixed Use" to "Greenway Interchange District" should not negatively impact adjacent land uses, since on the north side of S.R. 434 the land is designated FLUM "Commercial" also or "Conservation". The land on the south side of S.R. 434 opposite the subject land is FLUM designated "Commercial".

It is essential that surveys of such species be completed prior to site development of parcels containing native vegetation communities. The subject area does not have native vegetation communities due to prior clearing and replanting with long-needle pine. C. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: It has been the desire of the City Commission and the City Administration to vary the tax base and to provide a civic, government and business focus for the City. The proposed Town Center will achieve both goals. The proposed commercial area will be part of a 240 acre mixed use Town Center development. The commercial focus of this development will be the corner of the intersection of S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Road. A Commercial Planning Study for the Town Center of Winter Springs. Florida. prepared by Gibbs Planning Group. Inc.. March 23. 1998 forecasts expenditure potential of the recommended tenant mix at sales of$ 19,593,500 concludes "that the trade areas of the proposed Winter Springs, Florida mixed use development can support an estimated 92,500 square feet of commercial development in the early phases of residential build out. Th recommended development is to be a cohesive mix of general/convenience retaiVservice within a well designed urban Town Center. The commercial development is recommended to be primarily located on the north side of S.R. 434 running along both sides of Tuskawilla Road and extending into some side streets. This study also suggests that the proposed commercial buildings be multi-storied and include both residential and office." The report goes on to "that the commercial component of the proposed mixed-use development in Winter Springs, Florida should have a combination of community-oriented and neighborhood-oriented retail. This center will be geared primarily to residents of Winter Springs; however, consumers will likely shop this commercial component from western Oviedo, and northern Casselberry." D.

IV. FINDINGS: * The proposed future land use change from "Mixed Use" , "Commercial", "Rustic Residential", "Conservation", "Recreational" and "Public Buildings", to "Town Center District" in the subject area is compatible with surrounding land use de:signations, since the land on the south side of S.R 434 opposite the subject land is FLUM designated "Commercial". On the north side of Orange Ave. are areas designated in the county enclave as "Suburban Estates" and "Conservation". The Town Center will be compatible with these designations since the City's Central Winds Park, the Winter Springs High School, and the single family subdivisions, Tuskawilla Trace and St. Johns Landing provide an appropriate separation from the higher dllnsity/intensity development of the Town Center to the south.
