CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT: The request is for a large scale comprehensive plan amendment which is viewed as a preliminary development order (where no approval for construction is made) is not subject to Concurrency. Concurrency review is deferred until application for a final development order for the subject property, in accordance with the Concurrency Management System established in the City's Comprehensive Plan Volume 2 of2. C. LAND USE COMPATIBILITY: 1. SOILS: The Soil Survey of Seminole County, Florida, published by the Soil Conservation Service of the US. Department of Agriculture notes: AWhile 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.~ The soils on this property are: (#) - indicates soil map designation (13) EauGallie and Immokalee fine sands. 7 Local Planning Agency October 25, 2000 Morse Foundation Amendment LS-CP ^-1-00 (13) EauGalle and Immokallee fine sands. The soils in this map unit are nearly level and poorly drained. These soils are on broad plains on the flatwoods. The slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. The soils in this map unit are poorly suited to use for sanitary facilities, building sites, or recreational development. The main limitations are seepage and wetness. Water control, including drainage outlets, is needed to overcome wetness. Fill material should be added to make these soils suitable for most urban use. 2. TOPOGRAPHY: The subject property ranges from 10 feet toward Lake Jessup to a high of 25 feet toward the south boundary (mean sea level). 3. FLOOD PLAIN AREA: A review of the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (121 17COI55-E; April 17, 1995) appears to show the majority of the subject land is outside the 100 year flood plain area. That portion is in Zone X in areas determined to be outside 500- year floodplain. Ther area along the northside and the east central and southeast side are in Zone AE "Special Flood Hazard Area - 100 year flood" and Zone X "Other Flood Areas" 4. NATURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES. No natural or historic resources are known to exist on the subject land. 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 containing native vegetation communities. A wildlife survey of those species designated as endangered, threatened or species of special concern is required prior to final development approval for this property per 39-27.003.005 F.A.C. D. CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The City's Comprehensive Plan indicates that S. R. 434 is an urban arterial and is planned as a commercial corridor. The City Commission about two years ago designated the adjacent property to the south (Casscells Trust Property) on the Future Land Use Map "GreeneWay Interchange" which emphasizes higher intensity commercial and higher density residential to take advantage of the commercial potential of the transportation nexus of S.R. 434 and S.R. 417 ((The GreeneWay). Access to the subject property would ultimately be from S.R. 434. 8 Local Planning Agency October 25,2000 Morse Foundation Amendment LS-CP A-l-OO E. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES. The nuisance potential of the proposed use resulting from the change of Future Land Use Map designation from county "Suburban Estates" to City "GreeneWay Interchsnge" to the surrounding properties should be minimal in view of the following: · The City has development standards in its land development regulations to ensure minimal impacts on surrounding properties, such as buffering. The City's land development regulations and the site plan review process of the Development Review Committee can ensure the prevention or minimization of any potential nuisances. · At the time of site development, a traffic impact analysis will be required to determine what measures will be required to offset the impacts and maintain traffic flow. · The mixed use development of the GreeneWay Interchange district on the subject property is largely compatible with the existing land use of the property to the south where the Casscells Trust Property is also designated by the City on its Future Land Use Map as "GreeneWay Interchange". The proposed "GreeneWay Interchange" designation is also compatible with existing land use to the east where the 4 lane controlled access highway S. R. 417 (The Greene Way) is located and just east of that is the conservation area (260 acres) of the Battle Ridge Property. To the north and east are established residences in the remainder of the county enclave. As mentioned, the City has development standards in its land development regulations to ensure minimal impacts on surrounding properties, such as buffering. The City's land development regulations and the site plan review process of the Development Review Committee can ensure the prevention or minimization of any potential nuisances. F. CONS1STENCY/COMPATIBILITY WITH CITY, STATE, AND REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS: The City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan fully complies with the State Comprehensive Plan adopted pursuant to Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, and the Strategic Regional Policy Plan of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council pursuant to Chapter 163 Florida Statutes. 1.

P ART II - LAND USE AMENDMENT NARRATIVE 2.1 Subject Property The Morse Foundation tract is a 67.85 acre parcel located on: the west side of the GreeneWay/SR417, north ofSR434, south of Lake Jessup and east of Spring Avenue. The Location Map (see Exhibit I) identifies the subject property in relation to the surrounding physical and natural features. 2.2 Adjacent Land Uses The aerial photograph (see Exhibit I) identifies the adjacent land uses which are more specifically defined as follows: North - Single Family/Conservation East - SR 4~ 7/GreeneWay . West - Single Family/Conservation South - Vacant The Site Aerial (see Exhibit I) identifies the land uses adjacent to the Morse Foundation Tract. 2.3 Area Zoning The Zoning Map (see Exhibit I) identifies the existing zoning on the surround properties which include: North - R-l (Seminole County) South - PUD & .RU East - SR 417 & PLI (Seminole County) West - R-1 & RM-1(Seminole County) Morse Foundation Tract Page -1- Comprehensive Plan Amendment I , I I. I' I, I' If " I I I, I I I I I I I 2.4 Approved Future Land Uses The subject property does not have an established future land use designation within the City of Winter Springs. The annexation ofthe Morse Foundation tract into the City of Winter Springs was completed in 1999. However, the annexation approval was separated from the Future Land Use designation which occurred due to a pending purchase and sale agreement wherein the prospective buyer was to pursue the Future Land Use and Zoning designation. That agreement has since been cancelled which resulted in the City completing the annexation of the subject property and the Future Land Use/Zoning application being withdrawn. The Future Land Use Map (see Exhibit I) identifies designations of the surrounding property as follows: North - . Low Density Residential South - Mixed Use East - SR 417, GreeneWay/Public LandsIMixed Use West - Low pensity Residential/Conservation/Mixed Use The subject property is currently an enclave within the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan with no Future Land Use designation. The amendment presented herein will establish a Future Land Use designation consistent with the current mixed use designation to the south and southwest. There is existing residential along the perimeter ofthe subject property to the north and west. This is historic residential with older homes that are approximately 30 years or older with a number of mobile homes and a few newer homes. These re:5idential areas remain within the jurisdiction of Seminole County and are a remaining enclave of County lands. \ Page -2- Comprehensive Plan Amendment Morse Foundation Tract .1 I I' I I' I, 'I' .... II , I' I, I: I I. I I' I' I I 2.5 Proposed Future Land Use Amendment Request The request to amend the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use is to establish a Mixed Use designation on the subject property. This request is based on the existing Mixed Use designation on the Casscells tract to the south of the subject property as well as discussions with the City staff directing this application for a Mixed Use designation. Through this request, the staffs desire is to sl;:e the subject property and the Casscells tracts developed as a compatible and cohesive development under the GreeneWay Interchange District. It is the applicants' intent to comply with the staff request and, towards that end, the two properties (Morse Foundation and the Casscells parcels) are being evaluated to provide coordinated planning to present a cohesive development aI;'proach. 2.6 Statement of Compatibility The City has viewed the subject property and the Casscells tract to the south as an important area to the future growth of the City in view of its location at the SR 434/ GreeneWay interchange. The City has evaluated the desired development ofthis area and implemented the GreeneWay Interchange District to provide strict guidelines on the development to occur in this area. The Greene W ay Interchange District regulations are identified in Exhibit II. Once the Future Land use designation is established, the owner will pursue a GreeneWay Interchange zoning application. The application of the GreeneWay Interchange Zoning District will provide the necessary assurances of compatibility between the higher intensity commerciaVoffice uses and the residential on the adjacent properties, Morse Foundation Tract Page -3- Comprehensive Plan Amendment .\ 'I I 'I' I I ~ Ii I I ., '-' 'I' I, I' 'I I ,I I' I " I 2.7 GreeneWay Interchange District The City of Winter Springs has recognized the importance of the subject property (in combination with the Casscells tract to the south) as a part of the eastern gateway to the City of Winter Springs off the GreeneWay and SR 434. As a result. the City has established goals and design guidelines to set the direction for this key property. The City's vision of a mixed use development was the first step in providing guidance to the future development of this area. To ensure the development is properly implemented, the City has established the Greene W ay Interchange Zoning District (see Exhibit II). This district incorporates a variety of development requirements to ensure that the new development implements the City's intent. The design standards present the guidelines to provide for the appropriate compatibility between the various uses within the district as well as the adjacent properties. 2.8 URBAN SPRAWL 9J5.006 (5), Future Land Use Element, of the Florida Administrative Code pertains to the review of plans and plan amendments for discouraging urban sprawl. The following is a list' of urban sprawl indicators with respective responses as to why this proposed Plan Amendment does not promote urban sprawl. Question A: Promotes, allows or designates for development substantial areas of the jurisdiction to develop as low intensity, or single-use development or uses in excess of demonstrated need. Response: The subject property is within an area designated by the City of Winter Springs for urban development. Although the property is at the eastern edge of the City, the property is adj acent to the Greene W ay and directly associated wi th the Page -4- Comprehensive Plan Amendment Morse Foundation Tract .1. I' 'I ,I,. 'I I! I: I, I, ., ,I, 'I I 'Il I 1\ I I 'I SR 434 corridor which serves as a major development node for the area. Urban development is planned and is occurring to the east, south and west thereby establishing this an infill area. The intensity of development on the subject property, under a mixed use designation, is consistent with the intent of the City at the time of annexation. Questions B: Promotes, allows or designates significant amounts of urban development . - to occur in rural areas at substantial distances from existing urban areas while leaping over undeveloped lands which are available and suitable for development. Response: The subject property and the proposed development are within the area . identified by the City for compact development. Through the proposed mixed use program, development of the property will provide for a higher concentration in a desirable location thereby reducing the influences of sprawling development to accommodate the growth demands in the City. Question C: Promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon patterns generally emanating from (~xisting rural developments. Response: The subject property is contiguous to the mixed use land use designation along SR 434. The configuration of the property offers a logical extension of the mixed use designation to the north along the GreeneWay. The existing conservation lands to' ,the west create a natural limitation of any westerly strip expansion of the mixed use area. . The development pattern on the south side Morse Foundation Tract Page -5- Comprehensive Plan Amendment ,I I' 'I 'f 'I Ii :11, 1/ Ii '. ,I, 'I' ii, 'I' ., ~I' II I I of SR 434 is a compatible land use pattern for higher intensity land use along the GreeneWay. Question D: As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses, fails to adequately to protect and conserve natunll resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, river, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems. Response: The location of the subject property is outside the primary conservation areas of Lake Jessup as indicated on the current Future Land Use Map (See Exhibit I). There is existing single family and mobile home development between the subject property and Lake Jessup. By remaining outside the conservation lands associated with the lake, the proposed land use does not conflict with this policy. Question E: Fails to adequately protect use of existing public facilities allld services. Response: The proposed land use is in direct response to the change in the land use pattern for the area created by the construction of the GreeneWay and the interchange with SR 434. Adequate public facilities and services are existing or planned to. support urban development in this area. Question F: Fails to max~mize use of future public facilities and services" Response: By clustering higher intensity land uses in proximity to existing and planned public facilities and services, this proposal reduces the sprawl character of Morse Foundation Tract Page -6- Comprehensive Plan Amendment " I' II' I, 'I I ,I' I, ~I ... ,I, " 17 'I, I I~ 'I, I I. development that would occur if the intensities of this proposal would not be approved. Question G: Allows for land use patterns or timing which disproportionately increase the cost in time, money and energy, of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary sewer~~ stormwater management, law enforcement, education, health care, fire and emergency response, and general government. Response: The proposed development will not adversely impact the availability of capacity in the supporting infrastructure. Development ofthe subject property will comply with the City of Winter Springs Concurrency Management System ensuring that there will be adequate capacity for roads, sewer, water and stormwater. The subject property is located in close proximity and within urban response times for the City services for law enforcement, health care, fire and emergency servIces. Question H: Fails to provide clear separation between rural and urban !Iand uses. Response: The location of the subject property between SR 434 and the GreeneWay provides a clear separation: between the urban land uses of the area and any . \ rural areas occurring a considerable distance to the east and outside the City. Question I: Discourages or inhibits infill development or redevelopmE~nt of existing neighborhoods and communities. Morse Foundation Tract Page -7- Comprehensive Plan Amendment t I' 'I' I, 'I. .1 J lie I' 'I '-.' -I' 'Ii I, '1\ ,. 'I 't I' 'I, Response: The proposed land use will encourage infill development by shortening the distances from commercial and office land uses that are otherwise located in ( I the Oviedo Mall area, or other areas outside the City. Question J: Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses. Response: By definition, the project will be a mixed use development that is the focus of this policy. Question K: Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses. Response: The subject property is linked by proximity to the adjacent mixed use land use and is intended to be developed in a manner to ensure compatibility and an inter-relation of land uses. "-. Question L: Results in loss of significant amounts of functional open space. Response: Development of the subject property will comply with applicable regulations and criteria relating to the functional open space. The GreeneWay Interchange District has specific open space criteria to ensure compliance and an adequate provision of functional open space. 2.9 Future Land Use Element 2.9.1 Goal (2) To preserve the natural drainage features within Winter Springs as assets complementing the residential and commercial area. Page -8- Comprehensive Plan Amendment Morse Foundation Tract I I 'IJ " , ' I 1\ " \:" I' _I ,II "\ ,Ii It I '1\ " ;Ii I, II il Comment: The natural drainage character of the area focuses on the wetlands associated with Lake Jessup. Development of the property will evaluate these characteristics and comply with applicable City and State criteria related to this natural feature. Objective (A): Perpetuation of the existence and benefit of natural drainage features, excluding them from uses that require the support of urban infrastructure. Policy A 2: Th~ precise boundaries of land to be permanently classified Conservation shall be those jurisdictional lines prescribed by State agencies at the time of field review preparatory to engineering contiguous property for development. Comment: Development of the property will comply with all City and State Water Management District criteria to ensure that the area drainage is properly addressed and protected from adverse impacts that could occur in association with development. Policy A 2 B: Require all wetlands to be accurately identified at the time of site development review. Alternation of wetlands may be permitted, however specific mitigation standards 'in accordance with policies of the St. ~rohns Water Management District wiIlbe established to ensure no net loss of wetlands either by functional value or extent. Comment: Development of the property will comply with the St. Johns River Water Management District criteria for identification of wetlands, preservation and/or mitigation per the Water Management District criteria. Page -9- Comprehensive Plan Amendment Morse Foundation Tract I .1 '1.' .1, II '-. .1: I' I. '1 f .1, '1\ I~ 'I, , 8, I, d, Policy A 2 F: Wetlands shall be delineated on the site plan according to DER, SJRWMD, and US ACOE definitions, whichever standard i~ morle restrictive. Wetlands shall mean those areas established as jurisdictional by the above agencies. Comment: The project will comply, Policy A 2 G: Developments adjacent to Lake Jessup shall not be permitted to include Light Industrial, Industrial, or Commercial Land Uses. Comment: The location of the subject property is not abutting Lake Jessup. The existing residential lands provide a buffer between the lake and the proposed mixed use. 2.9.2 GOAL 3 Once the preceding goals are satisfied, land uses assigned to the balance of the undeveloped property will reflect priorities of unmet needs for residential and civic-commercial construction determined by on-going review and analysis of population projections,~nd residents' demographic characteristics and the feasibility of commercial growth. Thle siting ofland uses will be amended as necessary over time to adjust to changes in these variable factors. Objective C: Allocation of acreage and diversity of land uses sufficient for civic, commercial, and industrial. activity, either separately or within a mixed use classification. Page -10- Comprehensive Plan Amendment Morse Foundation Tract '1\ ,I I Ii \,. I: ~I, "~" 'I' 'I ',. Ii 'I II \- ., 'I I, II~ \,. I ;1\ ,I I 1\ Policy 1: Mixed use classifications are created to allow flexibility and efficiency to development design. The reviewed land development regulations, to be adopted by the statutory deadline, shall contain specific standards relating to density and intensity provisions for each mixed land use category, minimum requirements for allocation of residential, commercial, industrial and open space land uses, impervious surface ratios, and landscaping and buffering. Development standards for the Mixed Use classification shall include: Density: No mixed use development shall exceed a gross residential density of 10 dwelling units per gross acre. 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 not less than 5%. Residential uses may take up to 75% of the gross land area. Impervious Surface Ration. Maximum Heieht and Floor Area Ratios: In the mixed use category, for commercial uses, intensity of use shall be limited by a maximum impervious surface ratio of 70%, maximum height of 50 feet and a FAR of 1.0. Comment: Adoption by the City of the GreeneWay Interchange Zoning District, establishes the specific criteria under which the subject property will be governed, Development of the subject property will comply with the GreeneWay Interchange District. Morse Foundation, Tract Page -11- Comprehensive Plan Amendment I I --' I I t I' ... , 'I 'I' I -I, Ii II! I ~I II I I Objective B: Prior to granting a development order for non-Residential projects, the City must be assured that at the time of impact of a new development or phase thereof, all Concurrency requirements are met and no level of service set by a relevant jurisdiction will be degraded below its standard or before its budgeted timetable for improvement. Policy 1: Determination shall be made that the traffic generated by non- Residential development can be accommodated both on-site and oflf-site. Policy 1 a: The criteria established in the Transportation Concurrency Ordinance being drawn up at present shall guide the City's decision that a development mayor may not be permitted.

Howe -111111 DATE: 30 March 1999 L&A No. 98184.23 L&A Doc: \JMHD\98184C30.MEM FROM: PROJECT: Lake Jessup Grove Property SUBJECT: St. Jolms River Water Management District Site Review A site review was conducted with the St. Johns 'River Water Management District (SJRWMD) on the Lake Jessup Grove property on 16 March 1999. Present for the site review were: Anthony Miller; SJRWMD Michael Howe; Lotspeich and Associates, Inc. (L&A) The purpose of this site review was to field verify the landward extent of wetlands within the subject property which had been previously flagged by L&A in accordance with the Unified Wetland Delineation Methodology for the State of Florida dated July 1995. The review was limited to the wetland areas within the forested southern section of the site. Two wetlands had been flagged in the forested southern area. Mr. Miller agreed with most of the wetland boundaries as flagged by L&A. Additional flags were added to the line around the wetland in the western portion of the site as shown in the attached figure. This additional area (O.6:c acre) was determined to be jurisdictional based on the presence of hydric soil indicators. These new flags should be located by a surveyor and included on all permit plans submitted to the SJRWMD. Also noted during the field visit was an adult and juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalis). Th~ two birds were observed roosting in a large pine tree on-site. No nests were found in any of the trees in the area. As noted during our preliminary evaluation, there are numerous bald eagle nesting sites in the vicinity of the site, but none are known to occur on-site. We would recommend that the site be monitored prior to the beginning of the next nesting season (:t September - October) to determine if any new bald eagle nests have been built on-site. This is the writer's opinion and interpretation of the site review. Unless advised in writing to the contrary, it is assumed those in attendance are in a~reement with the statements set forth and work will proceed on this basis.
