CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY SPECIAL MEETING-MARCH 16,2016 PAGE 3 OF 5 "I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RECOMMEND FORWARDING TO THE COMMISSION APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2016-07 WHICH PROPOSES TO AMEND THE LIST OF PERMITTED, CONDITIONAL, AND PROHIBITED USES IN THE TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT." MOTION BY VICE-CHAIRPERSON CASMAN. SECONDED BY BOARD MEMBER MILLER. DISCUSSION. MR. CHRISTIAN SARNA, 360 MICHAEL BLAKE BOULEVARD, WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA: ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION REGARDING MULTI-FAMILY, TOWNHOMES, AND CONDOMINIUMS AS APPLICABLE TO THE ZONES IN THE TOWN CENTER DISTRICT. MR. RANDY STEVENSON, ASLA AICP, DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STATED, "NORMALLY MULTI-FAMILY IS CONSIDERED APARTMENT RENTALS. TOWNHOMES ARE A FEE SIMPLE PRODUCT, THEY'RE CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY - ATTACHED. SO, BASICALLY IT ELIMINATES MULTI-FAMILY AS A CONSIDERATION TO `TY AND ALLOWS THEM ONLY BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN `T4' AND `T5', BUT, TOWNHOUSES WOULD BE CONSIDERED SINGLE-FAMILY BECAUSE THEY ARE A FEE SIMPLE PRODUCT NOT A RENTAL PRODUCT." FURTHERMORE, MR. STEVENSON ADDRESSED THE INTEGRATED OWNERSHIP ASSOCIATED WITH CONDOMINIUMS AND EXPLAINED, "IN OTHER WORDS, YOU DON'T OWN ANY REAL PROPERTY. YOU OWN BASICALLY FROM INSIDE COAT OF PAINT TO INSIDE COAT OF PAINT, SO WE MIGHT HAVE TO RETAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THAT IS MUCH CLOSER IN MY MIND TO MULTI-FAMILY THOUGH BECAUSE, EVEN FROM THE BUILDING CODE, THE BUILDING CODE MAKES NO DIFFERENTIATION IN HOW YOU BUILD A CONDOMINIUM] VERSUS HOW YOU BUILD AN APARTMENT. IT DOES WHEN YOU BUILD A TOWNHOUSE IN TERMS OF FIRE PREVENTION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE SO WE'D PROBABLY HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT AT THAT POINT." BRIEF ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. MR. SARNA COMMENTED BRIEFLY ON APARTMENTS AND EXPRESSED HIS SUPPORT FOR THE TEXT AMENDMENT.
