This category is mainly reserved for large lot single- family residences not exceeding one unit per acre. Accessory structures and primary agricultural uses may be permitted based upon the appropriate surrounding land uses. Low Density Residential - (1.1 to 3.5 units per gross acre). This residential category is typically a suburban area dominated by detached single-family homes on one-quarter acre lots. This land use category is intended to be applied as a transitional use to infill areas where higher density residential would conflict with adjacent neighborhoods. Medium Density &sidential- (3.6 to 9 units per gross acre). This urban scale medium density residential category is intended for both single-family and multi-family subdivisions. Typical uses may include duplexes, villas, cluster housing, townhouses, mobile homes, manufactured homes and apartments at densities up to nine units per acre. High Density &sidential- (9.1 to 21 units per gross acre). This urban scale residential category typically includes attached multi-family housing at densities up to twenty-one units per acres. Typical uses would be apartments, townhouses, and condominiums. Commercial The commercial land use category consists of a variety of retail and office uses; such as, medical facilities, shopping centers, restaurants, automobile service facilities, and similar uses. Typical neighborhood commercial areas adjacent to residential areas are allowed to build up to a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.30 FAR. Multi-family residential with a maximum allowable density no greater than that allowed under a Medium Density &sidential - (3.6 to 9 units per gross acre) future land use designation is allowed as a conditional use. General commercial areas with access to major arterials and collectors can build up to a maximum 0.50 FAR. Multi-family residential with a maximum allowable density no greater than that allowed under a Medium Density Residential - (3.6 to 9 units per gross acre) future land use designation is allowed as a conditional use. Highway commercial areas with direct access to the US 17-92 arterial can build up to a maximum 0.50 FAR. Multi-family residential with a maximum allowable density no greater than that allowed under a High Density Residential- (9.1 to 21 units per gross acre) future land use designation is allowed as a conditional use. The majority of the existing commercial development within the City of Winter Springs is located along State Road 434 in a strip pattern. The area contains restaurants, convenience goods stores and neighborhood centers. There are additional commercial land uses located in the Tuscawilla subdivision and along State Road 419. Mixed Use The mixed-use land use category permits low, medium and high density residential; commercial uses (retail and office); light industrial; educational facilities; recreation facilities and compatible public facilities. Per the Planned Unit Development process, the intensity of the development within the mixed-use category will vary depending upon location and surrounding uses. To ensure a variety of land use types no more than 75 percent of anyone type of land use will be permitted to dominate the site. This designation requires an area to have a minimum of ten acres. Transitional uses are required to protect lower intensity and density uses from higher uses. Building heights must be stepped down adjacent to lower intensity and density uses. Town Center The types of uses permitted within the Town Center include a variety of mixed-uses, including single family residential, multiple family residential, commercial retail and services, public services and buildings, parks, and schools. Uses necessary for the economic viability of a city center are encouraged. Typical uses include shops, personal and business services, grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, offices, civic facilities, day care, and residential (single family, apartments/ condominiums, elderly housing, residential over commercial, townhouses and duplexes). High density and intense commercial development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of three (3.0) without structured parking and si?c (6.0) with structured parking and shall not exceed six (6) stories in height. The minimum mix of land uses in the Town Center is: Retail = 30% to 60% Commercial Office = 10% to 30% Residential = 30% to 60%. Current development in the Town Center consists of City Hall, Winter Springs High School, Central Winds Park, single family residential, retail commercial, offices, and multiple family residential (townhouses). Greeneway Interchange The purpose for the Greeneway Interchange land use category is to set aside an area of the City for a limited variety of regional land uses and intensities in order to provide employment opportunities and an increased tax base. The Greeneway Interchange land use category shall be located within close proximity to the Greeneway Highway (S.R. 417) and the interchange area on S.R. 434. Typical uses shall include regional businesses which will afford employment opportunities to the citizens of Winter Springs, such as hotels, convention centers, restaurants, and professional office parks. Medium to high-density residential uses may be permitted under certain circumstances, but in no case will residential uses exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the developable land area within the Greeneway Interchange. Transitional uses are required to protect lower intensity and density uses from higher uses. Building heights must be stepped down adjacent to lower intensity and density uses. Industrial The industrial land use category includes manufacturing, assembly, and processing or storage of products. The maximum floor area ratio for industrial uses is 0.5 FAR. Industrial lands are located predominandy in the north and west part of the City along State Road 419 and the abandoned railroad, as well as along US 17/92. Recreation and Open Space This land use category includes park and recreation facilities owned by the City; private parks and golf courses; as well as, recreation facilities located at area schools that are under lease to the City. Open space includes those areas deemed worthy of preservation; such as, common open spaces in private developments and significant right-of-way buffers along major roadways and drainage systems. The recreation use category includes lands committed to both active and passive recreational uses. Public/Semi-Public The Public/Semi-Public category consists of public facilities and private non-for-profit. This category includes all public structures or lands that are owned, leased, or operated by a government entity, such as civic and community centers, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, and government administration buildings. The not-for-profit and semi-public uses include churches, institutions, group homes, cemeteries, nursing homes, emergency shelters and other similar uses. Additionally, education facilities are included within this category, such as public or private schools (primary or secondary), vocational and technical schools, and colleges and universities. Conservation The conservation designation includes public lands that have been acquired and private land areas that have been reserved by mutual agreement with the property owner for the preservation and protection of Winter Springs' natural resources. Conservation Overlay The conservation Qverlayarea shown on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) is intended to protect areas that may potentially contain protected wildlife habitat areas, hydric soils/wetlands, and special vegetative communities. Included within the Conservation Overlay definition are areas within a public water well radius of 500 feet, within the 1 DO-year floodplain, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints. The area designated as conservation overlay on the FLUM is not intended to prevent development, but rather identify sensitive areas that need to be reviewed carefully during the review process to determine whether development should be permitted or if some form of mitigation may be necessary. If the areas are determined not to be sensitive, than the underlying land use development density and/or intensity will be applicable. Vacant This category includes vacant, undeveloped and some underdeveloped acreage. This category includes lands that are in subdivisions which are platted, but not over fifty percent developed, as well as lands which currently have no active uses.
