CHRONOLOGY: May 24, 2007-Public Noticing in Orlando Sentinel ofLPA Public Hearing June 6, 2007- LP A to hear the request and make recommendation to the Commission CONSIDERATIONS: · Winter Springs was founded as a bedroom community in 1959. In 1960, the community had one public building, and it was not until 1965, that the first store opened, the North Orlando Super Market · The City's zoning district have historically been oriented to the establishment of various housing districts. · As the City has grown and diversified, additional districts have been added to support June 6, 2007 P&Z/LPA PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 500 . other uses. Currently, public facilities are located in almost every zoning district of the City. There is not a zoning district that is specifically oriented to the use ofland for public facilities. Land that is intended for a public purpose, should have that purpose conveyed through its zoning. When it is not, it can add unnecessary confusion and cause the public to question the government's long term intentions for the parcel. Unique zoning challenges are created with regard to planning for the location of facilities related to public services. . . FINDINGS: · Provision of public services is an integral component of municipal government. · The establishment of the Public Facilities district will eliminate future confusion and distrust relating to the zoning of public lands and will support uses that have a direct benefit to the public. · The zoning district is consistent with the City's "Public/Semi-Public" and "Recreation and Open Space" future land use classifications.
