400) Ordinance 2026-03: Small -Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment of three (3)
parcels located at 290 and 300 Tuskawilla Rd and 1258 Milky Way
Ms. Garnett opened the item and explained there would be a combined presentation for the
two proposed Ordinances to the Board, but separate motions will be needed for approval. Ms.
Garnett relayed background information, the current Seminole county land use and zoning,
and the proposed Future Land Use and zoning change to the board. Stating the three subject
properties would transition from Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Agriculture (A-1) to
Winter Springs Town Center District and T-C Town Center T4 Transect (General Urban Zone).
Staff recommended adoption of both the Future Lane Use Map designation and rezoning
change for the subject properties.
Brief discussion ensued the ownership of the right-of-way for Milky Way and the reasoning for
the T-4 Towncenter zoning declaration. Staff relayed the right-of-way on Milky way is spilt in
half by the city and the county and the reasoning for the proposed T-4 zoning is because that
is what the surrounding area is zoned as.
