PURPOSE: The purpose of this ordinance is to facilitate a text amendment to up-date the PUD “A” sections of the code to provide for currently acceptable mixed-use residential development trends. APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: 1. Florida Municipal Home Rule Powers Act. 2. Chapters 163 and 166, Florida Statutes. 3. Chapter 20, Article IV. Planned Unit Developments, Division 2 (Specifically Section 20- 351 and Section 20-354). 4. Winter Springs Charter Section 4.15 Ordinances in General. CONSIDERATIONS: During the Winter Place PUD review, it became obvious that the two separate PUD sections of Chapter 20 (Part “A” and Part “B”) had different criteria for which an area’s residential density could be calculated. This regulation, which was adopted in the 1980s, is inconsistent with currently acceptable development trends. These current development trends include, but are not limited to, higher density, mixed use, more unit type variation, multi- modal options, as well as scenic and terminating vistas. Development regulations and subsequently approved developments must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. As set forth in Subsection 163.3194, FS, a development regulation is consistent with comprehensive plan if the land uses, densities, or intensities and other aspects of the regulation are compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and densities or intensities in the comprehensive plan. Allowable densities may not exceed the maximum set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for a specific Future Land Use designation. Staff will continue to review residential PUD densities for compliance with the comprehensive plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board consider the proposed PUD Part “A” code text amendment and recommend approval.
