SEC. 20 -320. INTENT.
(a) The City of Winter Springs seeks to create a Town Center based upon traditional standards
for city building.
In February, 1998 the City of Winter Springs created a plan for the Town Center through a
design session involving the community and a team of design professionals. This division is based
on that plan. Traditional urban design conventions have been applied to create a palette of
squares, parks, and street types that form the framework for the Town Center.
These conventions are derived from a number of sources in planning literature. Where approvals,
interpretations and judgments are left to the discretion of City officials, these officials shall use the
following texts for guidance as to best practices:
Civic Art, by Hegemann and Peets;
Great Streets, by Allan B. Jacobs;
The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community, by Peter Katz;
AIA Graphic Standards, 9th Edition;
The Lexicon of the New Urbanism, by Duany et al, Congress for the New Urbanism;
Shared Parking, by Barton - Aschman Associates, The Urban Land Institute
(b) This division repeals the Town Center Overlay Zoning District Regulations of June 9, 1997
(Ordinance No. 661) and September 8, 1997 (Ordinance No. 676). Should any conflict arise
between the provisions of this division and other local land development regulations for the City
of Winter Springs, the provisions of this division shall apply. To the extent that this division is silent
where other codes govern, they shall apply.

(c) HOW TO USE THIS CODE:
(1) Determine whether your use is permitted in the
Town Center.
(2) Review the general provisions which apply `\
throughout the District. II `•
(3) Determine which street type your lot fronts. (If ' 1
you have a corner lot, you must determine the
primary space or street based on the hierarchy in `�''' ��
section 20 -325.) ,j
(4) Next, review section 20 -325 for provisions '
about the street type, square, or park that jgc
corresponds to the lot.
(5) Finally, review the building elements and
architectural guidelines which contain specific rules "ftwilim -Pam•- - - --
for buildings.
Tuskawilla Road Retail; Winter Springs Town Center
SEC. 20 -321. ADMINISTRATION.
(a) INTERPRETATION OF THE STANDARDS. Interpretation of the standards in this division
shall be the responsibility of the city's development review committee (DRC). Unless otherwise
authorized by resolution of the city commission, the City Commission shall serve as the
development review committee under this division. The "In Our Generation" illustrative buildout
drawing in section 20 -325 of this division Code and on page 6 (see p. 14) in the adopted Master
Plan shall serve as guidance to the development review committee with regard to the city's intent
for land development in the Town Center. The images contained in this division are meant to
demonstrate the character intended for the Town Center, but are for illustrative purposes only.
The accompanying text and numbers are rules that govern permitted development.
(b) REVIEW PROCESS.
(1) Applications are subject to final review and approval by the development review committee.
Prior to final review and approval by the development review committee, all new applications,
and proposed substantial amendments to previously approved applications, shall be reviewed by
the planning & zoning board for purposes of issuing an advisory recommendation to the
development review committee. The committee shall have authority within reason for approving
all aspects of site planning and exterior architecture, including aesthetic appropriateness,
environmental implications, traffic impacts, and any other site- specific matters not delineated
herein.
(2) Optional preliminary review: Applicants may, at their option, submit designs in schematic or
sketch form to the development review committee for preliminary approval, subject to further
review.
(3) Applicants shall submit the following items to the land development division of the
department of community development for review:
a. A current site survey, no more than one (1) year old.
b. A current tree survey, no more than one (1) year old.
c. A site plan, drawn to scale, which shall indicate:
1. Building locations and orientations, and landscape areas;
2. Parking locations and number of spaces;
3. Paved surfaces, materials and location(s);
4. Site location diagram and legal description; and
5. Signage.
2
d. Building elevations illustrating all sides of structures facing public streets or spaces.
e. A parking analysis justifying the proposed parking solution (such as Shared Parking, by
Barton Aschman Associates, The Urban Land Institute).
f. Other reasonable supporting documents to indicate intentions and /or any other items
reasonably required by the development review committee.
(c) SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS:
(1) The City Commission may by special exception waive strict compliance with provisions of this
code. In granting a special exception, the City Commission must find by substantial competent
evidence that:
a. The proposed development contributes to, promotes and encourages the improvement of
the Winter Springs Town Center and catalyzes other development as envisioned in the Winter
Springs Town Center regulations.
b. The proposed development will not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of the
Winter Springs Town Center.
c. The proposed development abides by all rules in this code other than those specially
excepted. Special limitations apply to large footprint buildings (greater than twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet); see subsection 30-324(12) for these limitations.
d. The proposed development meets any reasonable additional conditions, restrictions or
limitations deemed necessary by the city commission in order to preserve and promote the
intent of the Winter Springs Town Center Master Plan.
(2) Procedure for Special Exceptions:
a. Approval may be granted only after a minimum of two (2) discretionary reviews. The first
review shall be before the planning & zoning board, at which time the planning & zoning
board shall review the project and provide to the city commission an advisory
recommendation regarding approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval. The second
review shall be a public hearing held before the city commission and shall be held no sooner
than seven (7) calendar days following the planning & zoning board hearing.
b. Requests for special exceptions under this division shall include each exhibit required in
the administration review process per subsection 20- 321(b). In addition, the city commission
may within reason require additional exhibits and may defer approval of the special
exception application or schedule an additional public hearing or hearings to review those
exhibits.
c. Special exceptions shall not be unreasonably withheld, but the city commission shall have
authority to require that the applicant satisfy any additional conditions it deems necessary to
fulfill goals of the master plan, including reasonable offsite improvements directly related and
proportionate to the specific impact of the request, or further review(s) and approval by the
development review committee.
(3) The City Commission may grant the approval of an application for special exceptions from
the Code in whole or in part upon a majority vote of its members.
(d) SITE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OPTION: The City may enter into a site
development agreement with the user or developer of a property, relating to development of a
particular parcel or tract of land, and such an agreement may address such issues as impact fee
credits; a specialized or negotiated concept of design or site plan development authorized or
sanctioned by this division; infrastructure service credits or public - private participation in funding,
design or construction; or other incentives based upon strict compliance with requirements of this
ordinance. The agreement will be mutually acceptable to all parties. Considerations for the City in
deciding whether to participate in such an agreement will include compliance with the objectives
and design criteria specified in this division; demonstration of a cost benefit to city and
developer; consideration of development amenities provided by the developer. Such a site
3
development agreement shall be adopted and be in conformance with the requirements of the
Florida Municipal Home Rule Powers Act or Sections 163.3220 through 163.4243, Florida
Statutes, as to effect, duration, public hearing requirements and other issues.
(e) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REQUIRED: All development of property
subject to the Town Center zoning designation and these regulations shall be subject to the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, and all approvals and land
development permits shall be in compliance with the comprehensive plan. An amendment to the
comprehensive plan has been proposed and is currently being processed by the city. This
amendment is proposed to increase densities for the area affected by these Town Center
regulations; however, until this amendment to the comprehensive plan is approved and adopted in
accordance with state law, the city cannot lawfully assure any owner or user of any affected
property densities and land uses not currently allowed or permitted by the city's comprehensive
plan.

purpose. Additional curb cuts shall be added only with the permission of the development review
committee. Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as drive aisles and fire lanes.
(3) EXCEPTIONS FROM BUILD -TO LINES:
Exceptions from build -to lines may be granted by the development review committee for avoiding
trees with calipers greater than eight (8) inches.

set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the property line along the main street. DRC shall have
discretion to make this requirement applicable elsewhere on prominent frontages, such as along

(1 1) SINGLE VERSUS DOUBLE LOADED ROADS: Segments of single loaded Edge Drive
are designated for portions of the Master Plan in order to provide public access to significant
natural areas and to enhance these significant natural areas by facing them with the fronts of
buildings. Single loaded Edge Drive may, by special exception, be replaced with a double
loaded alternative. Double loaded roads may be appropriate in locations such as: where there is
no significant natural view, in circumstances where no significant negative visual impact will be
created by having the developed properties back up to the natural area or park space, or in
other locations where it is deemed to be in the balanced public - private interest to incorporate
double loaded roads for the economical use of the property.

(8) SR 434 FRONTAGE ROAD.
This frontage road completes the transformation of SR 434 into a boulevard and allows local
traffic to circulate within the Town Center without necessarily using the regional road system. It
also provides extra parking in front of buildings facing SR 434. The Frontage Road may be
waived by the DRC under certain conditions. These may include, but are not limited to: facilitation
of traffic movement within the Town Center without using S.R. 434, on- street parking along S.R.
434, and reasonably unimpaired pedestrian movement. Parallel parking combined with wide
sidewalks creates a safe inviting place for both pedestrians and motorists. Twelve -foot wide
sidewalks with tree wells are preferred, but six -foot sidewalks with six -foot green strips are also
acceptable.

between special areas within the Town Center. Parallel parking combined with wide sidewalks
creates a safe inviting place for both pedestrians and motorists. Twelve -foot wide sidewalks with
tree wells are preferred, but six -foot sidewalks with six -foot green strips are also acceptable.
