The Community Development Department — Planning Division requests that the City
Commission review and adopt on second reading Ordinance 2012 -06, the re -write of the
Town Center District Code.
SYNOPSIS:
The Town Center District Code was initially adopted by the City Commission in 2000. It
was one of the first "form- based" codes adopted in the United States. Since that time, "form -
based" codes have evolved, and allow more predictability in design. On August 1, 2011
City staff and the City's Town Center consultant, Dover -Kohl presented a workshop to the
City Commission based on concerns with the format of the current Town Center District
Code. At the outcome of the workshop, the City Commission unanimously directed City
staff to re -write the Town Center District Code utilizing the concept of the "transect ", which
categorizes settlement patterns into zones ranging from a very rural character to a very
urban character.

CONSIDERATIONS:
The Winter Springs Town Center District Code was one of the first "form- based" codes
adopted in the United States. The adopted code, known as a "street- based" code, means that
development is broken down by street types with building standards tied to street sections.
Under the auspices of the existing code, any permitted use is allowed to be constructed in
any location in the Town Center.
Based on concerns with the format of the current code, City staff and the City's Town
Center consultant, Dover -Kohl presented a workshop to the City Commission on August 1,
2011. At the conclusion of this workshop, the City Commission unanimously directed City
staff to re -write the Town Center District Code utilizing the concept of the "transect ", which
categorizes settlement patterns into zones ranging from a very rural character to a very
urban character. Staff commenced the re -write and incorporated the concept of the transect
into the existing Town Center Code. In the attached draft, all new additions are underlined,
and all deletions are in strike -thru format. Several original sections, such as Building
Elements and Architectural Guidelines, remain the same in the proposed re- write. A
summary of the changes to the code is as follows:
• Revised map of the Town Center that utilizes an aerial photograph to depict
the boundary.
New map of the Town Center that shows specific areas broken down into
transects based on existing development or anticipated development trends.
They are: T1 (Natural Zone), T3 (Suburban Zone), T4 (General Urban Zone),
TS (Urban Center Zone), and C/P (Civic /Public).
New chart with transect zone descriptions.
• New permitted use table, which take the existing permitted uses in the current
code and places them into an appropriate transect zone.
• Revised provisions regarding maximum block size and building height.
• An elimination of the "Squares, Parks, and Street Types" section and
replacement of this section with a "Transect Standards" section.
• Re- designation of the "In Our Generation Illustrative Build Out" drawing as
the "Town Center Master Plan" in the Transect Standards section.
• Detailed descriptions of development standards in each transect zone are
provided including: lot orientation, principle building setbacks, accessory
building setbacks, building height and private frontages that are permitted in
each transect zone.
• Revised Town Center thoroughfare plan map which designates acceptable
street design standards in each transect zone.
• New "Civic /Public Pole Lighting and Decorative Street Signage" section
which designates acceptable lighting standards in each transect zone.
Additionally, this section has street sign types that are acceptable in the Town
Center.
Public Hearings 500 PAGE 2 OF 3 - March 12, 2012
• Re- designation of the term "build -to- line" to "principle plane" in the Building
Elements section, as this term is more acceptable to the development
community.
Creation of a new sign standards section (20- 327.1) that incorporates existing
and additional sign code language that is less restrictive toward the general
public and business owners in the Town Center.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While there is no direct fiscal impact to the City as a result of the Code re- write, staff is of
the opinion that the new code language will facilitate more diversified development in the
Town Center, which will have a positive fiscal impact to the City's tax base.

SEC. 20 -320. INTENT.
(p) 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.
On August 1, 2011, City staff and a representative from Dover -Kohl and Partners presented a
workshop to the City Commission regal: the future direction of the Town Center. As a result of
this workshop, the City Commission directed staff to prepare revisions to the Town Center Code
that would incorporate the ideas of the transect into the Town Center District Code. The transect
categorizes settlement patterns into "zones" that range from areas with a very rural character to
a very urban character.
Th ese eenyenfi m- Review standards for the Town Center 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
SmartCode, Version 9.2
The Lan_gva_cie of Towns & Cities: A Visual Dictionary, by Dhiru A. Thadani
The New Civic Art — Elements of Town Planning, by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater- Zyberk, and
Robert Alminana
Inclusive Housing: A Pattern Book, by the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access
Traditional Construction Patterns, by Stephen A. Mouzon
Get Your House Right, by Marianne Cusato
(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.

Center Code is amended after a Development Agreement is approved to permit development
that is inconsistent and in conflict with a previously approved Development Agreement, the terms
and conditions of the Development Agreement shall prevail, unless the Development Agreement is
amended. The intent of this paragraph is to prohibit a developer from relying upon an
amendment to the Town Center Code enacted subsequent to approval of its development project
in order to alter the terms and conditions of its project without the express written consent of the
City Commission.

Decorative Street Sign and Light Program for new development including: subdivisions
commercial development and areas constructed for public use. Standards for the Town Center
District follow the same guidelines as street signor : e that is upgraded in all other areas of the
City. In addition, the City requires that decorative street lights be provided for all development
within the Town Center District. During the development review process, it will be determined by
the City whether or not the user or developer of a property within the Town Center may need to
enter into a Neighborhood Street Sign Light Improvement Agreement (NSSLIA) as part of the
respective Development Agreement.

of its land and Urbanism.
Transect Zone (T- zone): One of several areas on a Zoning Map regulated by this Code. Transect
Zones are administratively similar to the land use zones in conventional codes, except that in
addition to the usual building use, density, height, and setback requirements, other elements of the

frontage.
T7 (Natural Zone): This zone consists of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness
condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.

areas that are adjacent to the Town Center district.
T4 (General Urban Zone): This zone consists of mixed -use but primarily residential urban fabric.
This Zone may have a wide range of building types, both residential and commercial in nature.
Setbacks and landscaping are variable. This zone is typify residential but is more urban and
compact than the suburban zone, and is located closer to core of the Town Center. Corner stores
may also be found in this zone.
T5 (Urban Center Zone): The T5 Urban Center Zone comprises the core of the Town Center and is

shorten pedestrian crossings and inhibit reckless
drivers from turning corners at high speeds. To
allow for emergency vehicles (e.g. fire trucks) to
turn corners, a twenty- five -foot radius clear zone shall be established free of all vertical
obstructions including but not limited to telephone poles, sign poles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes,
or newspaper boxes.

intended to accommodate services including but not limited to parking., trash pickup, loading .
docks, and drive- throughs .
3. EXCEPTIONS FROM BUILD -TO LINES (FRONT SETBACKS:
Exceptions from build -to lines as noted in each transect zone may be granted by the development
review committee for avoiding trees with s diameter breast height (dbh) greater than eight

Civic buildings and sites contain uses of special public importance. Civic buildings include, but are
not limited to, municipal buildings, churches, libraries, schools, daycare centers, recreation
facilities, and places of assembly. Civic buildings do not include retail buildings, residential
buildings, or privately owned office buildings. In order to provide greater flexibility to create a
special architectural statement, civic buildings are not subject to build -to line requirements or
building frontage requirements. Civic sites include Central Winds Park and Wetlands Park. The
design of civic buildings and sites shall be subject to review and approval by the development
review committee and are permitted in any transect zone within the Town Center but primarily in
the "Civic /Public" Zone
M. 8. PARKING
a. PARKING REQUIREMENTS. The intent of these parking regulations is to encourage a balance
between compact pedestrian oriented development and necessary car storage. The goal is to
construct neither more nor less parking than is needed.
There shall be no minimum parking requirement in the Town Center. The applicant shall provide a
parking analysis justifying the proposed parking solution. The level of detail required for the
parking analysis shall be determined in consultation with the DRC early -on in the development
process. In general, the parking analysis shall include a detailed analysis and calculation of the
normal and peak parking demands for a development. The usage of standard parking
generation rates is normally not acceptable for this purpose. The best source of data is field
parking counts from similar developments in the area. Factors to consider when calculating the
overall parking demand include, but are not limited to:
28
• Size and usage of the development Z number of units
• Availability and proximity of mass transit
• Demographics of the expected user group
• Availability and expected use of bicycle and pedestrian facilities
• Surrounding land use
Factors to consider when determining the number of parking spaces to be provided include, but
are not limited to:
• Number of parking spaces to be reserved and . /or restricted
• Availability and proximity of overflow parking areas
• Mix of the type of parking spaces available, including private garages, private
driveways, public surface parking., public on- street parking., metered parking., etc.
• Management strategies for the usage of visitor Zoverflow parking spaces
• Opportunity to share parking with surrounding properties
Enclosed gages in individual residential units are often not used to their full parking capacity.
In recognition of this, the number of parking spaces considered to be available in enclosed
garages shall be calculated at 50% of the actual parking capacity. For example, a two -car
garage would be considered to have 1.0 parking spaces, and a one -car garage would have 0.5
parking spaces.
Minimum parking space dimensions for head -in or diagonal parking shall be 9' X 18' with eleven -
foot drive lanes (twenty -two (22) feet for two -way traffic) and parallel parking spaces shall be
8'X 20' minimum with ten -foot drive lanes (twenty (20) feet for two -way traffic).
Parking shall be provided as necessary to meet the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction.
b. ON- STREET PARKING. The selection of diagonal or parallel parking along any section of
road shall be determined in consultation with DRC. In the event that the DRC approves diagonal
instead of parallel parking, dimensions should be pursuant to subsection 20- 325(c).
c. OFF - STREET SURFACE PARKING LOT PLACEMENT. Off - street surface parking lots shall be
set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the property line along the main street to
accommodate liner buildings. The DRC shall have discretion to make this requirement applicable
elsewhere on prominent frontages, such as along key pedestrian connections, within significant
vistas and within important public spaces. Outbuildings serving as garages facing alleys shall be
permitted within this setback. This dimension may be reduced to thirty -five (35) feet in cases
where liner buildings are being constructed concurrently with an off - street surface parking lot.
29
d. STRUCTURED PARKING LOT PLACEMENT. Parking structures shall be set back a minimum of
fifty (50) feet from the property lines of all adjacent streets to reserve room for liner buildings
between parking structures or other structures with blank walls and the lot frontage. This distance
will vary dependent upon the architecture of the liner building. The liner building shall be no less
than two (2) stories in height or a height sufficient to buffer the entire height of the parking .
structure from the right -of -way. Liner buildings may be detached from or attached to parking.
structures. The setback dimension may be reduced in cases where liner buildings are being
constructed concurrently with a structured parking facility, but in no case shall this dimension be
less than thirty -five (35) feet.

head -in, diagonal or parallel.
AI I ev Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as

provided. No more than six (b) consecutive parking
stalls are permitted without a landscape island of at
least six (6) feet in width and extending the entire
length of the parking stall. A minimum of one (1) tree

Continuing, Board Member Schwarz added, "I was not suggesting a Text change, just a
recommendation and that could probably go before the City Commission much sooner if
you want that dialogue to even begin if you are presenting them anything about it."
Chairman Poe noted, "Basically, are we in agreement that at our next meeting, we can
come to some form of agreement of how many speakers we have and what subjects we
would like to bring to the City Commission and hopefully all of us would be able to be in
attendance for that meeting ?"
Board Member Schwarz mentioned that, "I am scheduled to be out of town — but that
could change." Board Member Howard Casman stated, "I will be available." Vice
Chairperson Rosanne Karr noted, "I will be there." Board Member Bart Phillips
commented, "That would be fine for me."

500. Community Development Department — Planning Division
Requests That The Planning And Zoning Board Hold A Public Hearing To
Consider The Re -Write Of The Town Center District Code.
Mr. Stevenson briefly discussed proposed changes to the Town Center District Code and
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Bobby Howell, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department presented this
Agenda Item and displayed a PowerPoint presentation on the history of the Town Center.
Mr. Howell stated, "We recommend Approval."
Discussion.
Board Member Schwarz remarked, "The Amendment we received — the original markup
showed some changes that did not get translated into the new version that we have, like
`development review committee' being capitalized." Mr. Howell stated, "We need to put
that in there and actually the City Attorney can explain that to us. These are changes that
the City Attorney's office wanted to add to make it basically more iron clad."

Assistant City Attorney Kate Latorre commented, "The changes that were added late by
Anthony (Garganese, City Attorney) were meant to bring everything together as a
comprehensive unit. You have to comply with the Code; you have to comply with the
Comp [rehensive] Plan; you have to comply with all the different requirements of the
Comp[rehensive] Plan and they have to come together in your submittal. We wanted to
make that crystal clear in these sections."
Referencing SEC. 20 -321. ADMINISTRATION (a), Board Member Schwarz noted,
"That by Motion of this board or by a recommendation that is in the record that goes
before the Commission that they address the nature of — DRC (Development Review
Committee) being what it is for the rest of the City versus the City Commission." Board
Member Schwarz commented that, "I would like it to go into the Record that we are
making this recommendation somehow to the Commission so that they have time to
digest it."
Board Member Phillips asked, "Was this all done in house or outside ?" Mr. Howell
replied, "We basically worked on it in house and we worked with Dover Kohl (&
Partners)."
Tape 1 /Side B
Board Member Phillips remarked, "I think you did a fine job." Mr. Howell remarked,
"Thank you."
Board Member Schwarz commented, "Also, in that Section (a), one of the additions that
the (City) Attorney made was inclusive of any economic developed strategies adopted by
the City Commission for the Town Center. I would like to add a word as a Text
Amendment just that either we can give them direction on is, ` inclusive of any qualified
economic development strategies adopted by the City Commission (for the Town
Center . The word `qualified' is used further down in the (Town Center District) Code,
and I think in this particular — of what this is, that we are qualified — so that
administrations change — of what qualify is, is — different from another's administration
or body. I don't know if the City Attorney would have a problem with that word being
added in." There was no objection.
Chairman Poe referenced page 65 under General Specifications and said, the word
" Power Coated" should read, " Powder Coated " . Mr. Howell stated, "My copy actually
says that, but I will make sure that it is in there."
Referencing, (c) SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS: e. iv Board Member Schwarz inquired
about the word "injurious" and asked for clarification.

Assistant City Attorney Latorre clarified, "That is a list of the factors that are to be
considered when someone is asking for a Waiver for the Town Center (District) Code.
So, you are going to look at whether something is injurious or incompatible to the Town
Center and is it detrimental to the surrounding properties, or is it so incompatible that it is
somehow detrimental or it hurts the other development in some fashion."
Board Member Schwarz asked, "So, it is a financial aspect ?" Assistant City Attorney
Latorre stated, "I think it can be interpreted in a number of ways, not only financial."
Discussion ensued on Transect Codes and Board Member Schwarz suggested, "In T -4
(General Urban Zone), you went to the length of saying, `Mixed Use' and then you also
said both residential and commercial in nature. I just want that little bit of language in T-
3 (Suburban Zone), so it is very clear when someone is reading the definition of T -3
(Suburban Zone) that that is both of them." Board Member Schwarz then added, "I don't
know why you can't word it like you have it in T -4 (General Urban Zone) ." Mr. Howell
commented, "We will do that."
Further, Board Member Schwarz commented, "Also, the Home Occupations and
Accessory Dwelling Units that you mentioned, we have no definitions of what those are."
Mr. Howell responded, "Okay, we will look at that."
Referencing SEC. 20 -322. DEFINITIONS., Board Member Schwarz commented about
updating verbiage throughout the T -3 (Suburban Zone) and also mentioned to reference
verbiage such as "See related definition of Transect". Mr. Howell noted this information.
Discussion.
Board Member Schwarz commented, "Under Launderettes and Laundromats, can we put
retail ?" Mr. Howell responded, "Sure."
Discussion ensued regarding T -1 (Natural Zone), Mr. Howell asked Board Member
Schwarz, "You would like us to put in the definition section of T -1 (Natural Zone)." Mr.
Howell noted this and will go back to look into this. Further, Mr. Howell stated, "We can
put a Mix of Residential and Commercial Uses."
Board Member Schwarz spoke of Traffic on State Road 434 near the Choices in Learning
Charter School.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department commented, "There are
actually a number of traffic and parking issues with the Charter School that we are
monitoring and working with the County on the signal. We are collecting some data and
meeting with them to work through — we are aware of the issue and it is being evaluated."
Board Member Schwarz noted on page 74 and page 92, the word "principal" was
misspelled. Mr. Howell commented that that would be corrected.

Alluding to the discussion by Board Member Schwarz regarding expressing to the City
Commission about procedural changes made earlier, Chairman Poe stated, "I am
uncomfortable with that until we have an opportunity to discuss that as a Board and make
our presentation in April. I would not be comfortable Voting for a Motion this evening
that would include making that recommendation to the City Commission."
Board Member Schwarz replied, "The only reason I was entertaining it at this point in
time is because they are going to Approve the (Town Center District) Code in February.
So, I thought if we — recommendation for them to discuss while they are reviewing this
package."
Chairman Poe then commented, "I would leave that to the Board, but I certainly would
not vote for it, because I feel that we as a Board need to not put the Staff in front of us to
catch the barrage from the City Commission and I feel almost positive that they would
because they have not heard any expression from us that that is something that we would
like to see."
Mr. Stevenson stated, "From Staff's standpoint — we have discussed this internally.
There is a timeframe as to when we are going to address this and it's really not a major
concern of ours to come back and do a Text Amendment specific to this, once it is
Approved by the Commission. I would feel a little bit ill at ease at taking forward such a
recommendation at this point. It doesn't mean it is not — an element of your conversation
with the Commission in April, but I would feel a little bit ill at ease in taking this forward
as a consideration for the (Town Center District) Code at this point in time.
But we can, in fact, if that is the case along with other procedural changes bring that back
to you in the form of a Text Amendment. It would not affect the validity or the
enforceability of this (Town Center District) Code at this point in time."
Board Member Schwarz stated, "I will not have a problem approving this (Town Center
District) Code here tonight, but nothing will prevent me from my rights to speak with
each individual Commissioner before their February meeting to make my ideas known,
because I don't know at this time, whether I would be able to do that myself in April, so I
just want to make that clear."

For clarification, Mr. Howell asked, "If I may clarify the Motion constituted Ms.
Schwarz' recommendations about the administration..." Chairman Poe replied, "...To
look at those — misspellings, to look at the placement of a definition that she felt might be
necessary in there; it is not to say that is a directive. Please look at that and see if — does
it pass the test; is it correct and does it need to be changed."
Board Member Schwarz commented, "Any of the Text changes that I mentioned, I am
removing from the table any notion of recommending anything to the City Commission
tonight, but any of the Text changes that I mentioned, if that was part of the Motion,
that's great." Mr. Howell noted, "I understand that now. Thank you."
Additionally, Mr. Howell asked, "If I may ask the Board to bump (Agenda Item) '5 01 ' to

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.
On August 1. 2011. City staff and a representative from Dover -Kohl and Partners presented a
workshop to the City Commission regarding the future direction of the Town Center. As a result of
this workshop, the City Commission directed staff to prepare revisions to the Town Center Code
that would incorporate the ideas of the transect into the Town Center District Code. The transect
categorizes settlement patterns into "zones" that range from areas with a very rural character to
a very urban character.
Review standards for the Town Center 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
Smart Version 9.2
The Language of Towns & Cities: A Visual Dictionary, by Dhiru A. Thadani
The New Civic Art — Elements of Town Planning, by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater- Zyberk, and
Robert Alminana
Inclusive Housing: A Pattern Book, by the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access
Traditional Construction Patterns, by Stephen A. Mouzon
Get Your House Right, by Marianne Cusato
(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.

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

The terms and conditions set forth in a development agreement and any related final engineering
plans ( "Development Agreement ") approved by the City Commission shall be binding on the
subject property regardless of any changes to the Town Center Code. In the event that the Town
Center Code is amended after a Development Agreement is approved to permit development
that is inconsistent and in conflict with a previously approved Development Agreement. the terms
and conditions of the Development Agreement shall prevail. unless the Development Agreement is
amended. The intent of this paragraph is to prohibit a developer from relying upon an
amendment to the Town Center Code enacted subsequent to approval of its development project
in order to alter the terms and conditions of its project without the express written consent of the
City Commission.
In the Town Center District. decorative street signs are required along roadways as part of the
Decorative Street Sign and Light Program for new development including: subdivisions.
commercial development and areas constructed for public use. Standards for the Town Center
District follow the same guidelines as street signage that is upgraded in all other areas of the
City. In addition. the City requires that decorative street lights be provided for all development
within the Town Center District. During the development review process, it will be determined by
the City whether or not the user or developer of a property within the Town Center may need to
enter into a Neighborhood Street Sign Light Improvement Agreement (NSSLIA) as part of the
respective Development Agreement.
(e) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REQUIRED: All development of property
subject to - - - - - - - _ • _ _ _ _ •_ = these regulations shall also be subject to the

Transect: A cross - section of the environment showing a range of different habitats. The rural -urban
Transect of the human environment used in this Code is divided into six (6) Transect Zones. These
zones describe the physical form and character of a place, according to the Density and intensity
of its land and Urbanism.
Transect Zone (T- zone): One of several areas on a Zoning Map regulated by this Code. Transect
Zones are administratively similar to the land use zones in conventional codes. except that in
addition to the usual building use. density, height. and setback requirements, other elements of the
intended habitat are integrated, including those of the private lot and building and public
frontage.
Tl (Natural Zone): This zone consists of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness
condition. including lands unsuitable for settlement due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.
T2 (Rural Zone): This zone consists of sparsely settled lands in an open or cultivated state. These
can include agricultural lands. Typical buildings are farmhouses, agricultural buildings, cabins. and
villas.
T3 (Suburban Zone): This zone consists of the least dense residential areas. adjacent to higher
density zones within the Town Center that include some mixed -use. Home Occupations and
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are allowed. Planting is naturalistic and setbacks are relatively
deep. Blocks may be large and the roads irregular to accommodate natural conditions. This zone
is intended to provide a transition to and incorporation with existing lower density residential
areas that are adjacent to the Town Center district.
T4 (General Urban Zone): This zone consists of mixed -use but primarily residential urban fabric.
This Zone may have a wide range of building types. both residential and commercial in nature.
Setbacks and landscaping are variable. This zone is typically residential but is more urban and
compact than the suburban zone, and is located closer to core of the Town Center. Corner stores
may also be found in this zone.
T5 (Urban Center Zone): The T5 Urban Center Zone comprises the core of the Town Center and is
synonymous with the City's Urban Central Business District. It shall consist of a higher intensity mix
of uses that include retail, offices, and residential. T5 areas typically have fairly small blocks with
wide sidewalks. regularly- spaced tree planting. and buildings set close to the street.
Valance: The portion of an awning that hangs perpendicular to the Sidewalk.
19
Window Sign: A sign placed or painted on the interior of a Shopfront window or the window of a
business door.
Yard Sign: A permanent freestanding sign in the Private Frontage, including a supporting post or

provide access to parking and service areas behind buildings. Alleys are not required in the T3
zone in cases when lot widths are greater than 50 -feet. In these cases. a front - loaded garage
can be utilized. provided it is setback at least 20 -feet behind the principle plane of the primary
building. • - - _ .' - -- - - _ _ _ ■ • _ _ - _ _ _ _ • _ _ •- _ _ - - _ - -. _ - -, _ _ _ _ • _ _ _ - - _ - - - . Alley locations and •
dimensions are not fixed but shall be designed to accommodate the alley's purpose. Additional

special architectural statement, civic buildings are not subject to build -to line requirements or
building frontage requirements. Civic sites include Central Winds Park and Wetlands Park. The
design of civic buildings and sites shall be subject to review and approval by the development
review committee and are permitted in any transect zone within the Town Center but primarily in

-W. 8. PARKING:
a. PARKING REQUIREMENTS. The intent of these parking regulations is to encourage a balance
between compact pedestrian oriented development and necessary car storage. The goal is to
construct neither more nor less parking than is needed.
There shall be no minimum parking requirement in the Town Center. The applicant shall provide a
parking analysis justifying the proposed parking solution. The level of detail required for the
parkina analysis shall be determined in consultation with the DRC early -on in the development
process. In aeneral. the parking analysis shall include a detailed analysis and calculation of the
normal and peak parking demands for a development The usage of standard p arkin g
generation rates is normally not acceptable for this purpose. The best source of data is field
parking counts from similar developments in the area. Factors to consider when calculating the
overall parking demand include, but are not limited to:
28
• Size and usage of the development / number of units
• Availability and proximity of mass transit
• Demographics of the expected user group
• Availability and expected use of bicycle and pedestrian facilities
• Surrounding land use
Factors to consider when determining the number of parking spaces to be provided include, but
are not limited to:
• Number of parking spaces to be reserved and /or restricted
• Availability and proximity of overflow parking areas
• Mix of the type of parking spaces available. including private garages, private
driveways, public surface parking, public on- street parking. metered parking, etc.
• Management strategies for the usage of visitor /overflow parking spaces
• Opportunity to share parking with surrounding properties
Enclosed garages in individual residential units are often not used to their full parking capacity.
In recognition of this. the number of parking spaces considered to be available in enclosed
garages shall be calculated at 50% of the actual parking capacity. For example, a two -car
garage would be considered to have 1.0 parking spaces, and a one -car garage would have 0.5
parking spaces.
Minimum parking space dimensions for head -in or diagonal parking shall be 9' X 18' with eleven -
foot drive lanes (twenty -two (22) feet for two -way traffic) and parallel parking spaces shall be
8'x 20' minimum with ten -foot drive lanes (twenty (20) feet for two -way traffic).
Parking shall be provided as necessary to meet the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction.
b. ON- STREET PARKING. The selection of diagonal or parallel parking along any section of
road shall be determined in consultation with DRC. In the event that the DRC approves diagonal
instead of parallel parking, dimensions should be steel -in pursuant to subsection 20- 325(c).
c. OFF - STREET SURFACE PARKING LOT PLACEMENT. Off - street surface parking lots shall be
set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the property line along the main street to
accommodate liner buildings. The DRC shall have discretion to make this requirement applicable
elsewhere on prominent frontages, such as along key pedestrian connections, within significant
vistas and within important public spaces. Outbuildings serving as garages facing alleys shall be
permitted within this setback. This dimension may be reduced to thirty -five (35) feet in cases
where liner buildings are being constructed concurrently with an off - street surface parking lot.
29
d. STRUCTURED PARKING LOT PLACEMENT. Parking structures shall be set back a minimum of
fifty (50) feet from the property lines of all adjacent streets to reserve room for liner buildings
between parking structures or other structures with blank walls and the lot frontage. This distance
will vary dependent upon the architecture of the liner building. The liner building shall be no less
than two (2) stories in height or a height sufficient to buffer the entire height of the parking
structure from the right -of -way. Liner buildings may be detached from or attached to parking
structures. The setback dimension may be reduced in cases where liner buildings are being
constructed concurrently with a structured parking facility, but in no case shall this dimension be
less than thirty -five (35) feet.
