REQUEST:
The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests that the City Commission hold a public hearing to
approve Second Reading of Ordinance 2014 -10, which proposes to rewrite the City's Greeneway Interchange District land
development regulations and thereby repealing prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions.
SYNOPSIS:
The City Commission previously established, in 1999, the Greeneway Interchange Zoning District pursuant to Ordinance
No. 725. Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 725, the City Commission amended the City's Comprehensive Plan to re-
designate the Greeneway Interchange District, a land use category intended to attract target industries which provide high
quality and higher income jobs and intended to increase, diversify and enhance the City's tax base. As a result of the
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the current Greeneway Interchange District land development regulations
are inconsistent with said Comprehensive Plan. Under the Florida Community Planning Act, this inconsistency necessitates
that the City amend the Greeneway Interchange District land development regulations in their entirety in order to make the
land development regulations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

activities that will provide a sound financial future for the City.
Policy 3.5.1: Economic Catalyst. Recognize the GID as a major economic development
catalyst of the City with the potential for attracting target industries that create high paying
jobs and provide needed services and employment opportunities, as well as associated high quality
residential living opportunities under limited circumstances.
Policy 3.5.2: Studies. Conduct periodic economic development studies, as development
activity, trends or patterns warrant, of the GID that are designed to compile relevant
economic data and analysis that will: (1) educate and inform the City about trends affecting

making development and other decisions related to the GID. (Ord. 2012 -05)
Policy 3.5.3: Fiscal Impacts of Development. Ensure that City policies, regulations, and
decision making processes not only consider GID design planning impacts, but also
consider whether proposed new development will have a positive and acceptable economic
and fiscal impact on the City. In furtherance of this policy, the City Commission shall
require (unless otherwise exempted by land development regulation), as a condition of
considering the approval or denial of a development project, that developers provide a
written economic and fiscal impact report, prepared by a duly qualified expert that details
the associated economic and fiscal impacts of any proposed new development project on the City and the School District.
Although the City recognizes that some projects will have a regional economic and fiscal impact as well, said report shall
predominantly address the
Public Hearings 500 PAGE 4 OF 7 - July 28, 2014
economic and fiscal impacts on the City of Winter Springs as its own economic system. The
economic impact analysis portion of the report shall address the impacts of the proposed
project on jobs, economic output, and wages. The fiscal impact analysis portion shall
pertain to the net fiscal impact of the project over a period of years which is the sum of
those revenues (such as ad valorem taxes, public service taxes, sales taxes, and charges for service) directly received by the
City minus the sum of expenditures incurred by the City (such as general government expenses, law enforcement, roads,
and parks and recreation). (Ord. 2012 -05)
Policy 3.5.4: Land Use and Optimization of Tax Base. For purposes of determining whether
a project has a positive and acceptable economic and fiscal impact on the City pursuant to
Policy 3.5.3, the developer shall be required to demonstrate through its written economic
and fiscal report that the project is in compliance with the following criteria:
(1) The proposed project and associated land use is a permitted use within the applicable
zoning district.
(2) The market demand for the proposed project is at least minimally feasible based on
current market data including, but not limited to, data set forth in any economic
development study conducted by the City.
(3) Provided said project is first deemed permitted from a land use perspective under criteria
(1) and market demand is deemed minimally feasible under criteria (2), the proposed project
optimally increases and diversifies the City "s tax base and economic well- being. With
respect to the phrase "optimally increases ", the proposed project "s economic and fiscal
impact shall be required to be the best result obtainable for the City under current economic
and land use conditions. In furtherance of determining consistency with this provision, the
developer "s written economic and fiscal impact report shall analyze and compare the
proposed project to either the City "s preferred project or projects for the subject location as
may be expressly set forth in the City "s GID Master Plan or economic development study
conducted pursuant to Policy 3.5.2, or if the plan or study does not so expressly provide, to
a reasonable array of other potential alternative compatible projects authorized in the
applicable zoning district for the subject location. Furthermore, the term "diversifies" means
the extent that the proposed project reduces the City "s reliance upon a residential tax base to
fund the City "s fiscal budget. Additionally, if the proposed project is a commercial project,
the extent that the proposed project also provides different and needed services and jobs to
the GID and the City.
(4) Such other criteria set forth in the City "s land development regulations. (Ord. 2012 -05)
Policy 3.5.5: High Quality Development. Ensure high- quality building and development
that enhances the image and economic well-being of the City, GID, and Seminole Way.
Policy 3.5.6: Quality ofLife. Strive to improve the quality of life of Winter Springs"
residents by encouraging an increased number and variety of thriving target industries that
serve as significant employment opportunities for Winter Springs" residents.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Winter Springs is predominantly a bed room community and the Greeneway
Interchange District, in its current undeveloped state, offers one of the last few opportunities
for the City to diversify its tax base through the development of high quality corporate
business /office park development. As a result of the amendments to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, the current Greeneway Interchange District land development
regulations are inconsistent with said Comprehensive Plan. Under the Florida Community
Planning Act, this inconsistency necessitates that the City amend the Greeneway
Interchange District land development regulations in their entirety in order to make the land
development regulations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Through the proposed ordinance, the district is intended to be a master planned area that is
developed in phases approved by the City. Land uses within the district are to be limited to
target industry uses that create significant high average wage employment opportunities.
Incidental commercial uses supportive of target industries may be incorporated into target
industry buildings provided the incidental uses are approved by the City and are not
developed as a separate facility. Multi - family residential uses still may be approved as a
conditional use but now the residential use shall not exceed twenty -five percent (25 %) of
the total floor area of a proposed multiple use building in any approved phase of the district
master plan. Via Ordinance 2014 -10, the Greeneway Interchange Zoning District, is hereby
amended as follows:
A. Section 20 -330, Permitted uses - (Additional Uses)

projects within the GID shall be subject to a written development agreement unless the City
Commission waives the requirement.
IWMOKIa1► /1 VIVO 9
While there is no direct fiscal impact to the City, staff is of the opinion that the proposed
revised Greeneway Interchange District land development regulations will provide
opportunities for the City to diversify its tax base through the development of a high
quality corporate business /office park development.

DIVISION 13. GREENEWAY INTERCHANGE ZONING DISTRICT
Sec. 20 -328. Purpose.
In general, the purpose of the Greeneway Intechange Zoning District ( "district ") is to
implement the specific City Comprehensive Plan provisions related to the district. More
specifically, the district is intended to be predominantly a high quality corporate business /office
park development that is master planned. It is intended to serve as a unique and very important
economic catalyst for the City that attracts target industries with high quality and higher income
jobs that promote economic growth and development within the City. High quality building and
development that enhances the image and economic well -being of the City is expected in the
district. Residential and incidental commercial uses may be permitted under certain conditions in
support of existing or concurrently developed target industries located within the district.
However, residential and incidental commercials uses are not a priority nor shall they be allowed
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 2 of 12
as stand -alone uses. The district is intended to be oriented at and near S.R. 417 and S.R. 434 so the
district is easily accessible from major transportation corridors.
Sec. 20 -329. General uses and intensities.
(a) General Uses. The district is intended to be a master planned area that is developed
in phases approved by the City. Land uses within the district shall be limited to target industry
uses that create significant high average wage employment opportunities including corporate
business parks, office complexes, technical and research services, financial information services,
life sciences, digital media, international trade, sports associated industries, hotels and lodging,
conference centers and long stay tourism. Incidental commercial uses supportive of target
industries may be incorporated into target industry buildings provided the incidental uses are
approved by the City and are not developed as a separate facility. Multi- family residential uses
may be approved as a conditional use, provided that the proposed use satisfies the conditional use
criteria set forth in the City Code and the residential use shall not exceed twenty -five percent
(25 %) of the total floor area of a proposed multiple use building in any approved phase of the
district master plan.
(b) Development Intensities. The following building intensity limits shall apply:
(1) Floor Area Ratio (FAR) shall not exceed 1.0. However, the city commission may
permit a FAR greater than 1.0, but not exceeding 2.0, for projects that create compact mixed use
development through one or more of the following principles consistent with the City's land
development policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and Code:
(i) Implementation of environmentally sensitive site planning concepts and techniques.
(ii) Utilize traditional design standards to create compact, multimodal mixed -use
(including horizontal and vertical integration of uses) and neo- traditional urban development.
(iii) Green building design including energy efficient buildings as determined by any
nationally recognized and adopted standard.
(iv) Incorporation of low impact development (LID) practices such as shared parking
concepts, green roofs and use of stormwater for irrigation and /or other grey water type uses, and
rain gardens.
(v) Energy efficient land use which minimizes impervious services, such as inclusion of
one or more parking garages.
(vi) Restoration or enhancement of degraded wetlands, native ecosystems, or
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 3 of 12
preservation of extra upland buffers around critical habitat.
(vii) Implementation of water wise practices including sustainable site design through
natural landscaping with Florida native plants.
In addition, the city commission may approve a FAR above 1.0 for a project that the city
commission determines, by development agreement, has a projected significant positive economic
impact that will optimize and diversify the City's economic tax base consistent with the intent and
purpose of this division.
Any increase in the FAR approved by the city commission above 1.0 shall have a
reasonable nexus to an enhanced environmental or economic benefit to the City and the increase
shall be roughly proportional to the enhanced economic and environmental benefit that the project
has on the City.
(2) Multi- family residential uses may be allowed by conditional use permit approved by
the city commission up to a maximum density of twenty -one (21) units per acre, provided the
residential use shall not occupy more than twenty -five percent (25 %) of the total floor area
(parking garages are excluded from the calculation) of a proposed multiple use building in any
approved phase of the district master plan. Specific density shall be determined based on the
conditional use criteria stated in the Code and whether the development satisfies the economic and
fiscal impact requirements of this division and is consistent with the intent and purpose of this
division.
Sec. 20 -330. Permitted uses, conditional uses, incidental uses within buildings.
(a) The following target industry uses shall be permitted provided they are consistent with

commission, by conditional use permit, may approve a principal building that is less than two
stories in height.
Sec. 20-332. Setbacks.
Unless otherwise expressly required by the City's Comprehensive Plan, this division or
other applicable law, there shall be no minimum setbacks in the district. However, the location,
size, dimensions and design of yards, buildings, structures, and other infrastructure and facilities
shall be determined as part of the master plan process and by development agreement. Setbacks
shall generally be determined based on factors such as intensity and design of the proposed use,
public pedestrian and vehicular safety, environmental concerns, compatibility of surrounding and
on -site uses and facilities, and connectivity of proposed development phases within the district.
Sec. 20 -333. Parking and driveway requirements.
The parking and driveway requirements for the Town Center set forth in Section 20- 324(8)
shall apply in the district.
Sec. 20 -334. Utility lines, pipes, conduit and infrastructure.
(a) All new and relocated utility infrastructure shall be constructed and installed

City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 7 of 12
standards. All new or relocated utility lines, pipes, conduit and similar infrastructure within the
district shall be constructed and installed beneath the surface of the ground unless the City
determines that soil, topographical, or any other compelling site condition makes undergrounding
unreasonable and impracticable.
(b) Incidental utility appurtenances including transformer boxes, switch boxes, and
pedestal mounted boxes shall not be required to be constructed and installed underground.
However, such appurtenances shall be constructed and installed at locations approved by the City
with maximum consideration given to visual screening, buffering, and other aesthetic and practical
on and off -site visual and safety considerations. Such appurtenances shall be setback a minimum
of fifteen (15) feet from any right -of -way. Visual screening techniques shall include landscape
materials and masonry constructions.
(c) Easements shall be required for the construction and installation of all utility
infrastructure unless the utility determines that an easement is not needed to secure permission to

Sec. 20 -335. Interconnectivity of multiple parcels.
In order to effectuate the master planning of the district involving multiple development
parcels of land, property owners shall be required to provide internal connection between their
respective parcels for rights -of -way, access and shared parking purposes unless the City
determines that internal connection is not practicable or feasible based on parcel constraints or
undue hardship. Upon approval of the City, interconnectivity may be achieved by conveying
public rights -of -way and cross access easements to the City or easements and perpetual real
property covenants between connecting parcel owners.
Sec. 20 -336. Development Agreement.
Due to the unique nature of the district and the master plan requirements, development
phases and projects approved under this division shall be subject to a written development
agreement unless the City Commission waives the requirement for good cause shown. The
agreement may address such issues as impact fee credits; economic development incentives; 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 and terms allowed by law. All development agreements
approved under this section shall be adopted and be in conformance with the requirements of the
Florida Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, or F.S. §§ 163.3220 through 163.4243, as to effect,
duration, public hearing requirements and other issues.
The terms and conditions set forth in a development agreement and any related final engineering
plans approved by the city commission shall be binding on the subject property regardless of any
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 8 of 12
changes to this division. In the event that this division 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 this division enacted subsequent to approval of its
development project or phase in order to alter the terms and conditions of its project or phase
without the express written consent of the city commission. Further, the city commission may
waive the technical and design standards required by this division by development agreement.
Sec. 20 -337. Master development plan.
The district is intended to be planned and developed as a unified whole over a period of
years. The various parcels of land within the district are also required to be interconnected to
provide continuity and compatibility among the various land uses and to create a compact and
walkable workplace. In furtherance of this intent and requirement, the district shall be developed
in accordance with a master plan approved by the City consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan and Code. The master plan shall serve as the fundamental and underlying guide for future
phased development of the district. Each phase shall be consistent with the master plan approved
by the City. In the event a proposed phase necessitates a modification to the master plan, the
developer proposing the phase shall be required to demonstrate the need and benefit of the
proposed modification to the master plan in conjunction with the proposed phase. All phases
shall be consistent with the master plan and the intent and purpose of this division. Modifications
to the master plan shall not cause any conflict with or adversely affect any existing or permitted
phase.
Sec. 20 -338. Optional Preliminary Review.
Developers may, at their option and sole cost and risk, submit site layout and building
elevation designs in schematic or sketch form to the City for a non - binding and preliminary review
as an initial courtesy to the developer. These submittals are subject to a more formal application
process (including, but not limited to, approval of final concept plans and preliminary and final
engineering) which requires the submission of more detailed plans and specifications and requires
a more detailed review and final consideration of approval by the city commission by development
agreement. Comments and statements made by city officials at the optional preliminary review are
non - binding unless memorialized in a written agreement approved by the city commission. City
staff and the applicant shall only seek feedback from the commission and city staff shall not make
a final recommendation regarding the proposed project or phase at this time, unless the application
is accompanied by a written development agreement being proposed by city staff for the
commission's approval. In which case, the city staff shall make a recommendation regarding the
application and proposed agreement. This non - binding and preliminary review shall not be relied
upon by the developer or property owner as a final decision and shall not be construed in any
manner as creating any vested right or entitlement for the development of the subject property. By
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 9 of 12
requesting and participating in the optional preliminary review process, the developer and property
owner shall be deemed to have read and agreed to this code provision and to hold the City and its
officials harmless for any future actions they may have taken based on the results of a preliminary
review pursuant to this section.
Sec. 20 -339. Economic and Fiscal Impact requirements.
(a) All development proposals within the district shall be subject to an economic and
fiscal impact review pursuant to Policies 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
(b) The developer shall be required to submit an economic and fiscal impact report to the
City as a condition of approval of any proposed phase or project. The report shall be prepared by
a duly qualified expert and supported by data and analysis or the developer may choose to submit
an application to use the City's economic and fiscal impact model pursuant to subparagraph (d) of
this section. In either case, the report shall detail the associated economic and fiscal impacts of
any proposed phase or project on the City and the School District and shall be used to determine
compliance with the criteria set forth in subsection (c). While the report may address regional
economic and fiscal impacts, if any, the report must predominantly address the economic and
fiscal impacts on the City as its own economic system. The report must address the impacts of the
prosed project or phase on jobs, economic output, and wages. The fiscal impact analysis must
address the net fiscal impact of the proposed phase or project on the City over a period of years.
Net fiscal impact shall be calculated as the sum of those revenues (such as ad valorem taxes, public
service taxes, sales taxes, and charges for service) directly received by the City minus the sum of
expenditures incurred by the City (such as general government expenses, law enforcement, roads,
and parks and recreation).
(c) No development order shall be issued for any proposed phase or project until such
time the city commission determines, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the
proposed phase or project satisfies the following criteria:
(1) The proposed land use and intensity (or density) is permitted under this division;
(2) Market demand for the proposed phase is minimally feasible based on market data;
and
(3) The proposed phase or project optimally increases and diversifies the City's tax base
and economic well - being.
For purposes of this section, the term "optimally increases" shall mean that the economic
and fiscal impact of the proposed phase or project is the best result obtainable for the City under
current economic and land use conditions. For purposes of evaluating the best result under current
land use conditions, the report shall be prepared in the context of whether the proposed
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10
Page 10 of 12
development phase or project is consistent with existing or proposed uses in the district, the intent
and purpose of the district, and compatible with surrounding land uses. Additionally, the term
"diversifies" means the extent that the proposed development phase or project reduces the City's
reliance upon a residential tax base to fund the City's fiscal budget.
In furtherance of evaluating compliance with the criteria set forth in this section, the report
shall analyze and compare the proposed development phase or proj ect to either the City's preferred
development phase or project for the subject property as may be expressly stated in the master plan
or applicable economic development study conducted by the City for the district, or if the City
does not have a preferred development phase or project or applicable study, the proposed phase or
project shall be compared with a reasonable array of other potential alternative compatible projects
authorized by this division.
(d) In lieu of submitting a report by a duly qualified expert, the developer may submit an
application to use the City's adopted economic and fiscal impact model for Greeneway
Interchange projects. The application shall be submitted with the applicable application fee and on
a form prepared by the community development department. Along with the application, the
developer shall be required to also submit all of the necessary input data and variables which are
deemed necessary for the City to prepare one or more versions of a report generated from the
model for the proposed development project or phase. Notwithstanding any report generated
pursuant to this subsection, the developer may also submit an economic and fiscal impact report
from a duly qualified expert if the developer desires to contest the findings and conclusions
reached from the City's model.
Sec. 20 -340. Comprehensive Plan and Code Compliance Required.
All development of property subject to this division shall also be subject to the
Comprehensive Plan and other applicable Code provisions of the City of Winter Springs, Florida,
and all approvals and land development permits shall be in compliance therewith.
Section 4. Repeal of Prior Inconsistent Ordinances and Resolutions. All prior
inconsistent ordinances and resolutions adopted by the City Commission, or parts of prior
ordinances and resolutions in conflict herewith, are hereby repealed to the extent of the conflict.
Section 5. Incorporation Into Code. This Ordinance shall be incorporated into the
Winter Springs City Code and any section or paragraph, number or letter, and any heading may be
changed or modified as necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Grammatical, typographical, and
like errors may be corrected and additions, alterations, and omissions, not affecting the
construction or meaning of this Ordinance and the City Code may be freely made.
Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, word or
provision of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2014 -10

competent jurisdiction, whether for substantive, procedural, or any other reason, such portion shall
be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

upon adoption by the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, and pursuant to the
City Charter.

"MOTION TO READ BY `TITLE' ONLY." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CARROLL. MAYOR
LACEY STATED, "SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR BROWN." DISCUSSION.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH NO OBJECTIONS.
Senior Attorney Kopp read this Ordinance 2014 -10 by "Title" only.
Mr. Woodruff briefly spoke on this Agenda Item and added, "Staff met with an individual tonight who has some
concern regarding to existing cross - access language — that's found in section 20 -335 of the Ordinance before you
tonight and I believe that he is here in the audience and will speak to that later this evening."
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Mr. Nathan Cook, 1064 Prato Place, Lake Mary, Florida: spoke of the GreeneWay Interchange District GID,
promoting Winter Springs, economic development and using the name "Innovation Springs" as a "name
designation" for the GID area.
Mr. Kevin Cannon, Post Office Box 1501, Orlando, Florida: commented on the GreeneWay Interchange District
and thought that the last speaker's suggestion might be a good idea and could not hurt, and hoped that the multi-
family designation does not turn into rows and rows of apartments.
Mr. Dennis Wells, 208 Wekiva Springs Road, Suite 2090, Longwood, Florida: remarked about the Cross - Access
Easement and that he was speaking on behalf of his client the Casscells family, property rights and that staff
might be willing to further discuss this.
Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Mr. Stevenson commented on the previous remarks and said, "Innovation springs would be a marketing type of
language which might be better discussed at another meeting. Certainly, what we're talking about here tonight is
just the designation of the zoning as the GID and the land use is the GID so I just wanted to make sure we
distinguished those two (2).
Next, Mr. Stevenson referred to Mr. Cannon's comments on rows and rows of townhouses and stated, we've
placed strict restrictions on the multi - family — no more than 25% percent of the square footage of any one
vertically integrated building so these would be in terms of existing multi - purpose buildings" and that they agreed
with Mr. Cannon's desire this be an "economic generator ".
Mr. Stevenson then remarked, "Relative to the last comment, that shall is the language that was brought over from
the current code and we feel very strongly about that — we are willing at the direction of this Commission to
discuss that and maybe look at that and make sure we're on board with that, but understand, that's existing
language. We feel that it's important that we at the very least strongly promote cross easements based upon the
need as the property develops. That's something we'd be willing to take a look at between 1S` and 2nd reading if
the desire of this Commission is to do so."
