The procedures for review and approval are set forth in Section 9 -603. The City Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the application only after consideration of whether the following criteria have been satisfied: (1) The plans and specifications of the proposed project indicate that the setting, landscaping, proportions, materials, colors, textures, scale, unity, balance, rhythm, contrast, and simplicity are coordinated in a harmonious manner relevant to the particular proposal, surrounding area and cultural character of the community. The project is located in the Tuscawilla PUD, specifically on the south side of Winter Springs Boulevard, east of the Tuscawilla Country Club. The 15 proposed townhome buildings are two - story structures designed in a Mediterranean architectural style with tile roofs. All 15 townhome buildings will consist of four, 2 story units, with the two end units having 2 car garages, and the two middle units having 1 car garages. The proposed buildings are coordinated in a harmonious manner with similar styling and architecture, and include a good balance of textures and colors which exemplifies quality residential development. September 26, 2011 City Commission Public Hearing Agenda Item 504.2 Page 3 of 5 The architecture of the townhome buildings are coordinated in a harmonious manner relevant to the surrounding developments in the area and the cultural character of the community. (2) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with any future development which has been formally approved by the City within the surrounding area. The proposed elevations are in harmony with the architecture exhibited within the surrounding area. (3) The plans for the proposed proj ect are not excessively similar or dissimilar to any other building, structure or sign which is either fully constructed, permitted but not fully constructed, or included on the same permit application, and facing upon the same or intersecting street within five hundred (500) feet of the proposed site, with respect to one or more of the following features of exterior design and appearance: (A) Front or side elevations, (B) Size and arrangement of elevation facing the street, including reverse arrangement, (C) Other significant features of design such as, but not limited to: materials, roof line, hardscape improvements, and height or design elements. The proposed buildings and decorative fence do not appear excessively similar or dissimilar to the other structures in the immediate area. While other structures within 500 feet do have stucco finishes, they do not have textured stucco and tile roofs. (4) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with, or significantly enhance, the established character of other buildings, structures or signs in the surrounding area with respect to architectural specifications and design features deemed significant based upon commonly accepted architectural principles of the local community. The proposed project does enhance the character and overall aesthetics of the surrounding area. The local community is composed of different architectural styles and, therefore, the proposed project represents a positive addition to this area. The second floor of those units that back up to Winter Springs Boulevard will be visible over the decorative wall. The proposed architecture along with the tree canopy will enhance the view of the project from Winter Springs Boulevard. (5) The proposed project is consistent and compatible with the intent and purpose of this Article, the Comprehensive Plan for Winter Springs, design criteria adopted by the city (e.g. Town Center guidelines, SR 434 design specifications) and other applicable federal state or local laws. The proposed project is consistent and compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable design guidelines. The final architectural plans will be reviewed for compliance with all building code criteria. (6) The proposed project has incorporated significant architectural enhancements such as concrete masonry units with stucco, marble, termite - resistant wood, wrought iron, brick, columns and piers, porches, arches, fountains, planting areas, display windows, and other distinctive design detailing and promoting the character of the community. September 26, 2011 City Commission Public Hearing Agenda Item 504.2 Page 4 of 5 The project has incorporated a number of these features in the architecture of the buildings and the Preliminary/Final Engineering plan. Arches are proposed over garages on the two middle units, and as accents over windows. Additionally, multi -level roof lines, and accent shutters have been incorporated into the building facades. Specialty pavers accent the project entrance and the two cul -de -sacs. The applicant indicates the driveways of the units will be finished with pavers. Findings: 1. The proposed building elevations are consistent with the Aesthetic Review requirements prescribed in the City Code of Ordinances. 2. The building elevations include detailing and attention adding to their appearance and the quality of the development. 3. The townhome buildings will complete a development which has completed site infrastructure and has sat vacant for almost 2 years. The construction of the townhome units will be an asset to the surrounding area and to the City of Winter Springs by allowing the development of the community to reach build -out. 4. The proposed buildings utilize colors and materials that complement the adjacent existing structures and the developments in the surrounding area. 5.
