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 iri 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
(06) Astatula-Apopka fine sands, 0 to 5 percent. The soils in this map unit are
nearly level to gently sloping and escessively drained and well drained
. These soils are on hillsides and ridges on the uplands.. The slopes are
smooth to convex. The soils in this map unit are mainly used for homesites
and other urban development.
(11) Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional.. The soils in this map unit
are nearly level and very poorly drained. These soils are in depressions.
The slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. In their natu'ral state, the
soils in this map unit are not suited to use for homesites, commercial or
recreational development, or sanitary facilities. The main limitations are
ponding and seepage. Water control, including drainage outlets, is needed
to overcome wetness. Fill material should be added to make these soils
suitable for most urban uses.
(29) St. Johns and EauGalle fine sands. The soils in this map unit are nearly
level and poorly drained. These soils are on low 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, and
recreational development. The main limitations are seepage and wetness.
Water control, including surface and subsurface drainage, is needed to
overcome wetness. Fill material should be added to make these soils
suitable for most urban uses.
2. TOPOGRAPHY:
7
Local Planning Agency
October 25, 2000
Springs Land/Jessup Shores Property Amendment
LS-CP A-4-00
The subject property ranges from 10 feet toward Lake Jessup to a high of25 feet
toward the south boundary (mean sea level).
3. FLOOD PLAIN AREA:
A review of the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (12117CO 13 5-E;
April 17, 1995) appears to show the whole of the subject land is outside the 100 year
flood plain area. The subject property is in Zone X in areas determined to be outside
500-year floodplain.
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/COMPATmILITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The proposal to redesignate the Springs Land/Jessup Shores property from "Mixed Use" to
the new Future Land Use Map designation "Town Center" is consistent and compatible with
the City's Comprehensive Plan due to' the property being adjacent to the area already
designated on the Future Land Use Map for "Town Center". The Town Center
designation allows for and encourages a mixed use development pattern of commercial and
residential. The current designation of the subject property is "Mixed Use" which also
allows for commercial and residential development. The intention of the property owner is
to develop the property with both commercial and residential components in accordance
with the "Town Center" Future Land Use Map designation and the Town Center (Zoning)
District Code.
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 [rom "Mixed" to "Town Center" to the surrounding properties should be
minimal in view of the following:
8
Local Planning Agency
October 25, 2000
Springs Land/Jessup Shores Property Amendment
LS-CP A-4-00
. The surrounding properties are essentially vacant. Any development of high density
residential i.e. apartments/condominiums in the near future should not present a
nuisance to surrounding properties.
. 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 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. CONSISTENCY/COMPATmILITY 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

The proposed development program will include a mixture of residential and commercial. The
existing land use designation on the city of Winter Springs Future Land Use Map is mixed
use. Therefore the proposed uses are consistent with the current land use designation.
Property to the north is also designated mixed use, with a portion of this property being
owned by the applicant. The lands lying to the south are designated as moderately dense
residential and public use the public use property is a large retention pond used for storm
water management of State Road 434. Property to the east is designated town center. The
property to the west is designated for commercial. Central Winds Park is located directly
north east of the proposed amendment.
B.
Zoning

1 while lands lying west of the proposed amendment is zoned C-2. Finally, property to the
south consists of R-3 (multi-family) and C-1 commercial. The proposed amendment of town
center will be compatible with the zoning designations on the adjacent properties.
IV.
Statement of Compatibility
The subject request to amend the future land use of this property from mixed use to town center will
be compatible with the surrounding zoning and development patterns. This property can be
incorporated into the Town Center District while meeting current Comprehensive Plan Goals,
Objectives and Policies.
The following findings are made with respect to the site's compatibility with the surrounding
development.
A. The site is contiguous with the current town center boundaries
-
I
B.
The mixed use nature of this proposal will be consistent with the current land use
designation.
C. Properties surrounding this project are zoned and contain a future land use
designation of either commercial or multi-family. Both uses are proposed for this site.
V. Town Center Background
On June 12, 2000, the City of Winter Springs adopted the Town Center Future Land Use Map designation
and assigned the same to approximately 240 acres of property. The creation of the new Land Use resulted
from several considerations, including, but not limited to:
· The State Road 434 Corridor Vision Plan outlined a 'Town Center" located around the intersection of
State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Road.
· Policy 3(c), the Traffic Circulation Element of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, refers to the
--$~ "creation in the undeveloped central area of Winter Springs of a primary civic, business and service
~f1'?oPUS for the City".

· The City Commission declared that, based on numerous public meetings, that the Town Center will be
developed in the "neo-traditional" or "new urbanism" approach involving mixed uses with increased
densities and intensities.
According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the "primary and fundamental purpose of the Town Center shall
be a place where people can reside in a mix of single and multiple family dwellings, and also gather to shop,
relax, recreate, be entertained, attend community events, and enjoy the natural beauty of lands located in the
Town Center".
VI. Urban Sprawl
9J-5.006(5), Future Land Use Element, of the Florida Administrative Code pertains to the review of
plans and plan amendments for discouraging urban spraw1.
The following is a list of urban sprawl indicators with respective responses as to why this proposed
Plan Amendment does not promote urban sprawl.
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 site is an infill property. The development program consists of a
mix of uses including residential of High Density and a non-residential tract. These uses will
support those proposed uses in the Town Center district and will not be in excess of
demonstrated need.
B. Promotes, allows or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural;
areas at substantial distance from existing urban areas whole leaping over undeveloped land
which are available and suitable for development.
Response: The subject site is contiguous to the Town Center and is surrounded by
urban development.
C. Promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon patterns
generally emanating from existing rural developments.

Response: This site is an infill property that surrounded is by urban development. The
amendment would not create urban development on radial, strip, isolated or ribbon pattern.
D.
As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses, fails to
adequately to protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native
vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas,
lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural
systems.
Response: This proposed development program for the site will not impact any flood
prone areas and will protect any conservation areas found on the site.
E.
Fails to adequately protect use of existing public facilities and services.
Response: Public facilities and services are readily available. Adequate capacity is
available for all services provided to the site.
F.
Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services.

Goal (2)
To preserve the natural drainage features within Winter Springs as assets complementing the
residential and commercial areas.

Comment: The preliminary drainage design takes full benefit of the site's topography by
creating storm water treatment and storage at the lowest contours of the upland areas of the
site. In a significant rain event, the storm water will outfall into the conservation areas.
1. Objective (A)(2): Perpetuation of the existence and benefit of natural drainage
features, excluding them from uses that require the support of urban infrastructure.

Comment: The developable portions of the site are not natural drain~ge
features; however, the conservation area does serve as a basin into which many
surrounding properties outfall. The conservation area, as a natural drainage feature,
will not require any urban infrastructure related to this development.
2. Objective (8): "The City shall ensure the protection of natural drainage features and
other natural resources such as native vegetative communities, historic resources,
and wildlife habitat by providing for clustering of development on property proposed
to be improved in exchange for preservation of natural resources, and permitting
equivalent increased construction on the remaining land owned by the same entity.
Comment:
Development will be clustered onto the upland areas of the property.
B.
Goal (3)
1. 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.
Comment: The development proposes a mixture of residential units, non-
residential use that compliment the Town Center district, and passive and active
recreation. The addition of the uses further the City's objective to allocate diversity of
land uses.

The Springs Landing Property Is an approximately acre tract that is
located within the limits of the City of Winter Springs, Florida. The property
fronts on both the southern and western side of State Road 434, situated
within the interior of one of State Road 434's curves, and is located
approximately 1.S miles east of State Road 419 and approximately 0.5 miles
northwest of Tuscawilla Road. The property is bordered to the south by
undeveloped lands and the retention ponds associated with the Winter
Springs Post Office and to the west by undeveloped lands. Surrounding
properties consist primarily of rural and single-family residential as well as
commercial development. The property rests in Section 36, Township 20
South, Range 30 East.

be classified as such. These uplands can be categorized Into three (3)
distinct vegetative communities. The first of the communities can be
described as other hardwoods (FLUCCS* ~ 439) and is located within the
eastern"most portion of the property. These hardwoods are dominated by a
canopy of laurel oak; a sub-canopy of like-species, cabbage palm, and
scattered wild citrus; and a sparse understory of caesarweed, beauty berry t
and greenbriar. The second upland community is located within the central
portion of the property and consists of an inactive stand of planted pine
(FLUCCS* - 441) that is dominated by a canopy of planted slash pine and
scattered laurel oak; a sub-canopy of like-species, cabbage palm, and
scattered wild citrus; and 'an understory of lantana, assorted upland
grasses, muscadine vine, greenbriar, and caesarweed. The third and final
