IDept. ~ );-~I leA REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the City Commission conduct a public hearing for the first reading and consideration of Ordinance 2001-43 amending provisions in the land development regulations appertaining to street names, the naming of streets, and the uniform building numbering system. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider the adoption of Ordinance 2001-43 that would improve the efficiency of approvals for street name assignment and numbering. APPLICABLE LAW: Sec. 9-156. Street names. New street names shall not dupllcate the names of existing streets, except that new streets that are an extension or in alignment with existing streets shall bear the same name as that borne by such existing streets. Names likely to be confused with names of existing streets shall be avoided. Street names shall be subject to the approval of the city. Street numbers shall be designated by the city staff. See subsection 9-298(c), methodfor naming streets. Sec. 9-372. Establishment of system. A uniform building numbering system, as developed by the grid system guide map filed in the land development coordinator's ojjice is hereby adopted for use in the corporate limits of the City. The grid system guide map and all explanatory matter thereon and related thereto are hereby adopted, incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this article. ~~ " Sec. 9-373. Administration and assienment of numbers. (a) The City land development coordinator's office shall be responsible for coordinating and maintaining the numbering system established by this article. The land development coordinator's office shall approve street names and designations and shall assign building numbers in conformity with the uniform building numbering system established in section 9-372.. The land development coordinator's office shall be responsible for enforcing compliance with the premises posting requirements established in section 9-374.... " (b) ... (c) Assignment by the land development coordinator's office of the assigned number to a lot or parcel on which a projected future building may be constructed shall be a condition precedent to the issuance of a building permit for any such building. (d) In coordination with the county E-9Il coordinator, the land development coordinator's office shall record and maintain records of all street names and numbers currently assigned under this article and all names and numbers which have ever been assigned pursuant to this article and shall monitor the same to ensure that duplicate street names and numbers are prevented. Sec. 9-375. Annexations; additions. a) (a) Whenever a parcel of land, a subdivision, or any part thereof, becomes part of the corporate limits of the City by municipal annexation or otherwise, it shall be the responsibility of the land development coordinator's office to review the address numbers, their posting and the method of numbering for such contracted portion conform to the uniform building numbering system established by the article within thirty (30) days of such annexation. (b) If the number, posting or method of numbering a building is in nonconformance with the city grid system guide map and uniform building numbering system after a municipal annexation, the land development coordinator's office shall give notice of such nonconformance to the owners or occupants of the affected building or property. The notice shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested or by posting the notice in a conspicuous place on the building or by hand delivery. The notice shall include a notification or a change of address, which shall contain the correct or new building number assigned to the building or property in accordance with the provisions of this article and the date of notification. The notice shall direct the owner or the occupant to post the newly assigned building number contained in the change of address on the building or property in accordance with this section. The notice shall notifY the owner or occupant that, if he or she disagrees with the determination of the land development coordinator's office, an appeal may be taken regarding the determination by the city manager. CONSIDERATIONS: · Planning staff believes the existing address assignment and numbering system is inefficient, dated, and repetitious since it requires a separate but similar application to Seminole County. . The efficient and proper assignment of addresses within a community is essential to the preservation of health, safety, and the general welfare. . FINDINGS: 1. Seminole County has an address coordinating staff that assigns street numbers and names to properties in the unincorporated areas of the County as well as to Casselberry, Longwood, and Lake Mary. 2. The current street addressing and numbering system for Winter Springs requires separate application to the City and verification by the County, which amounts to duplication, rather than through a single uniform system. 3. There has been a cooperative effort between the Community Development Department and the Fire Department to make this needed change. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission hold a public hearing for first reading of Ordinance 2001-43. The ordinance would amend the City's Code of Ordinances, as follows: Code Amendments. Chapter 9, Land Development of the Code of Ordinances would be amended to read as follows: Sec. 9-156.

McLemore, City Manager Charles c~on, Community Development Director May 11, 2001 DATE: SUBJ: Street Names Seminole County has an address coordinating staff that assigns street numbers and names. Currently this procedure applies to Casselberry, Longwood and Lake Mary. Tim Lallathin and I met with Maggie Ketcham, Seminole County Address Coordinator on May 9, 2001 to discuss the application of this procedure to Winter Springs. The advant9ge to Winter Springs is that the County staff will coordinate all street names, house numbers, private road names, and re-addressing with emergency 911 and with twenty-two other entities such as the School Board and utilities. If the procedure is applied to Winter Springs, the County staff would receive subdivision plats and site plans during the preliminary ORC Review and would work with the developer of streets and assigning street numbers in full compliance with 911 and the postal service. This program is properly administered and Tim and I recommend that the City of Winter Springs adopt the program. If you agree with the transfer of this work effort it will require a letter of request to County Administrator Kevin Grace. CC/jp U:\Docs\ Word\Memos\MayO t \Street Naming Numbering.doc
