During discussion, the Board members made the following comments: No city in
the County had an appeal process to the City Council; if there was no history of
problems regarding the Board's decisions, then why was the process being
changed; the city 'vvas chartered in 1962 and the City Council, at that time, had
empowered the Planning & Zoning Board and Board of Adjustment to make final
decisions?; the present City Council already took away the voting powers of the
Planning & Zoning Board, now they wanted to take away voting powers from two
additional Boards; if the ordinance was passed, the decisions would become
political; elected officials were not necessarily smarter, wiser, or more
experienced than appointed board members. Lamar Russell stated, for the
record, that he was against proposed Section 110-33. Discussion continued.
Sandy Young, citizen, agreed with the Board's comments.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by Donald Dunn, to recommend to City
Council that the ordinance not be adopted. Vote on the motion carried
unanimously.
2. Recommendation toeitv Council - Ordinance Re: Clarifyina the Criteria
Reauired for Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plat Review and Approval.
Todd Peetz, City Planner, explained that the city had recently begun processing
final plats for recording, and upon submitting final plats to the County Clerk for
recording, the County Clerk required additional information than what is required
by city code. He advised that the proposed ordinance clarified the criteria
required for preliminary and final subdivision plat reviews and approvals, in
compliance with the Brevard County Clerk and Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.
The Board members reviewed and held discussion regarding the proposed
ordinance.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by Donald Dunn, to recommend approval of
the proposed ordinance, with minor changes, as discussed, to include that the
final plat be recorded within fourteen (14) days of City Council approval. Vote on
the motion carried unanimously.
OPEN DISCUSSION
Todd Morley, Building Official, reviewed the current requirements for preliminary
and final plats and replats, indicating that the current ordinance has multiple
duplicate entries and requires depictions of elements that are more appropriate
for site plan review. Lamar Russell asked that Mr. Morley present his findings to
the Assistant City Attorney for consideration of an ordinance revision v;fhich
would remove any unnecessary and duplicate requirements. "

DIVISION 12. TOWN CENTER DISTRICT CODE
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 CitybfWinter 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 to\^m center. These
conventions are derived from a number of sources in planning literature. Where approvals,
interpretations and judgements 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;
AlA Graphic Standards, 9th Edition;
The Lexicon of the New Urbanism, by Duany et ai, Congress for the New Urbanism;

(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 division:
(1 ) Determine whether your use is permitted in the Town Center.
(2) Review the general provisions which apply throughout the district.
(3) Determine which street type your lot fronts. (If you have a corner lot, you must
determine the primary space or street based on the hierarchy in section 20-325.)
(4) Next, review section 20-325 for provisions about the street type, square, or park that
corresponds to the lot.
(5) Finally, review the buiiding elements and architectural guidelines which contain
specific rules for buildings.

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

infrastructure service credits or public-private participation in funding, design or construction; or
other incentives based upon strict compliance with requirements ofthis 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 development
agreement shall be adopted and be in conformance with the requirements of the Florida
Municipal Home Rule Powers Actor 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 \Nith 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.

Sec. 20-324. General provisions.
The following general provisions apply to all street types.
(1 ) Corner radii and clear zones: Corner curb radii shall be between nine (9) feet and
fifteen (15) feet. Fairly tight turning radii 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.
GRAPHIC UNK:Corner Radii and Clear Zones
(2) Alleys: Alleys are required in the town center to minimize curb cuts and to provide
access to parking and serv'ice areas behind buildings. Alley requirements may be waived
by the ORC for access to detached single family residential lots greater than fifty-five
(55) feet in width in situations in which proper streettront orientation, pedestrian
circulation, and parking can still be accomplished. Alley locations and dimensions are
not fixed but shall be designed to accommodate the alley's 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 ei~)
inches. ~

On corner sites (within fifty (50) feet of the corner) with build-to lines set back from the
property line, building frontage may be positioned forward of the build-to line up to the
property line, provided it does not encroach upon the clear zone.
(4) Side and rear setbacks: No side or rear setbacks are required in the Town Center.
(5) First floor height for residential: Residential uses on the first story shall have
finished floor height raised a minimum of two (2) feet above sidewalk grade.
(6) Diversity of building widths: No more than three (3) residential buildings twenty (20)
feet or less in width are permitted within any two hundred (200) feet of frontage.
(7) Accessory structures: Accessory structures are permitted and may contain parking,
accessory dwelling units, home occupation uses, storage space, and trash receptacles.
Home occupation uses are restricted to owner plus one (1) employee, shall not include
noxious or disruptive functions, and may not disrupt parking for neighboring residents.
Accessory structures shall not be greater than six hundred twenty-five (625) square feet
in footprint and shall not exceed two (2) stories in height.
(8) Drive-throughs: Drive-through service windows are permitted in the rear in mid-
block and alley accessed locations provided they do not substantially disrupt pedestrian
activity or surrounding uses.
GRAPHIC LlNK:Drive-Throughs
(9) Civic sites: Civic buildings 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. The design of
civic buildings shall be subject to review and approval by the development review
committee.
(10) 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.
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 S'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.
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
ORC approves diagonal instead of parallel parking, dimensions should be
adjusted in 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 aiong t~

street. ORC 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. Surface parking lots
may be built up to the property line on all other street frontages.
GRAPHIC UNK:Off-Street Parking Lot Placement
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 and the lot frontage. The liner
building shall be no less than two (2) stories in height. Liner buildings may be
detached from or attached to parking structures.
e. Access to off-street parking. Alleys shall be the primary source of access to
off-street parking. Parking along alleys may be head-in, diagonal or parallel.
Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots as standard drive aisles. Access to
all properties adjacent to the alley shall be maintained. Access between parking
lots across property lines is also encouraged.
GRAPHIC UNK:Access to Off-Street Parking
Corner lots that have both rear and side access shall access parking through the
rear (see diagram below).
GRAPHIC UNK:Corner Lot Access to Off-Street Parking
Circular drives are prohibited except for civic buildings.
Garage door(s) shall be positioned no closer to streets, squares or parks than
twenty (20) feet behind the principal plane of the building frontage. Garage doors
facing streets, squares or parks shall not exceed ten (10) feet in width. Where
space permits, garage doors shall face the side or the rear, not the front.
e. Parking lot landscaping requirements: Landscape strips of at least six feet in
width shall be provided between parking isles of either head-in or diagonal
parking. Tree spacing in parking lots shall be determined by the city arborist
based upon tree species and location. The objective is to create as continuous a
shade canopy as possible. A diversity of tree species across the Town Center is
encouraged. To minimize water consumption, the use of low-water vegetative
ground cover other than turf is encouraged.
GRAPHIC UNK:Parking Lot Landscape Strips
In lieu of landscape strips, landscape islands can be provided. No more than six
(6) consecutive parking stalls are permitted without a landscape island of at least
six (6) feet in widttl and extending the entire length of the parking stall. A
minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted in each landscape island.

(11 ) Single versus double loaded roads: Segments of single loaded Edge Drive are
designated for portions of the masterp!an 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 alterna;;ve. Double loaded roads may be appropriate In locatiOn@

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
publicprivate interest to incorporate double loaded roads for the economical use of the
property.
(12) Large footprint buildings: Buildings with a footprint greater than twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet may be built within the Town Center District by special exception
only. Such buildings must abide by all rules in this division with the following special
limitations:
a. Buildings may be one (1) story in height on any frontage except Main Street
and Market Square, but shall be at least twenty-four (24) feet in height. This may
be accomplished \.^Iith liner buildings or higher ceiling heights and/or parapets.
b. To encourage use by pedestrians and decrease the need for solely auto-
oriented patronage, large-Footprint buildings must reinforce the urban character
of the Town Center and shall therefore continue a connected system of walkable
street frontages.
c. Buildings are exempt from maximum lot size restrictions, however building
footprints may not be larger than a single block.
d. Loading docks, service areas and trash disposal facilities shall not face
streets, parks, squares or significant pedestrian spaces.
GRAPHIC L1NK:Oesirable Large Footprint Buildings
Large Footprint Buildings are wrapped in a liner of smaller buildings with doors
and windows facing the street.
GRAPHIC L1NK:Undesirable Large Footprint Buildings
Large Footprint Building has blank facades and sits behind a field of parking.
(13) Additional prohibitions: The following are prohibited where visible from parks,
squares and primai)' streets:
a. Coin operated newspaper vending boxes.
b. Utility boxes and machinery including but not limited to: backffow devices,
electric meters and air conditioning units.
(Ord. No. 707, S 1 (Exh. A), 6-12-00)
Sec. 20-325. Squares, parks, and, street types.
Development under this code is regulated by street type. The squares, parks, and streets are
related to each other in a hierarchical manner. \/'Jhen these spaces intersect, the primary space is
determined by its higher order in the hierarchy. The front of a building and its main entrance must face
the primary space.
(a) Hierarchy of squares, parks, and streets:

Sec. 58-73. Commercial shopping center (C-1) district.
(a) Purpose and intent.
(1 ) Planned shopping centers have unique development requirements which are
dissimilar from other commercial areas; therefore, this section establishes a separate
shopping center district.
(2) This district establishes restrictions to insure that shopping centers are designed
and located to minimize traffic congestion on public highways and streets in their vicinity
and to best fit the general land use pattern of the area to be served by the center. The
protective standards contained in this district are intended to minimize any adverse
effect of the center on nearby property values and to provide for safe, efficient use of the
center itself and safe, adequate and attractive parking areas.
(3) The planned shopping centers are intended to provide areas for a combination of
uses including retail businesses, personal services, banking and professional services
and office facilities to serve either a small neighborhood or the entire community.
(4) It is the intention of this district to locate planned shopping centers only at locations
that the city commission determines are suitable and only when they determine that the
official zoning map should be amended. Therefore, the city commission may call upon
the applicant to furnish additional information to justify the rezoning or use of land for a
planned shopping center.
(b) Permitted uses. All uses shall be conducted wholly within a building except those uses
permitted which are customarily conducted in the open such as off-street parking and plant
nurseries. Storage shall be limited to accessory storage commodities sold at retail on the
premises and storage shall be within a completely enclosed building.
(1 ) Retail business involving the sale of merchandise within enclosed buildings
including but not limited to: Antique shop, art shop or art supply store, automobile
accessory' store, supermarket food store, bakery, bicycle shop, book or stationery store,
camera store and photographer's studio, clothing and wearing apparel shop,
delicatessen, drug store, dry goods or notions store, liquor store, luggage or leather
goods shop, toy store, Tv', radio and appliance sales, variety store and similar retail
stores.
(2) Establishments involved in the rendering of a personal or business service including
banks, or similar financial institutions, barber or beauty shops, coin-operated laundries,
dry cleaning establishments, post offices, restaurants or cocktail lounges, shoe repair
shops, soda fountains, theaters (except drive-ins), and travel agencies;
(3) Business, financial, governmental, medical and professional offices, agencies and
clinics;
(4) Off-street parking areas and garages except those for the storage of heavy duty
construction equipment;
(5) Permanent recreational facilities within enclosed soundproof buildings but excluding
adult video arcades,
(6) Private and semi-private clubs, lodges, hails and/or social centers;
(7) Signs as regulated by this ordinance.
(8) Uses customarily incidental and accessory to the permitted uses, including the
repair of goods of the type sold in stores in the center, provided that such repair may not
be carried on as a separate business, and provided, further, that there shall be no
manufacturing, assembling, compounding, processing or treatment of products, othe'@

than that which is clearly incidental and essential to the permitted uses.
(c) Conditional uses. The following uses may be permitted following review by the planning
and zoning commission and approval by the city commission in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter.
(1 ) Residential units above the ground floor of at least 500 square feet in size or
residential units limited to the site and improvements standards established in the R-4
district.
(d) Minimum site for shopping center. The minimum parcel to be zoned for this district shall be
two acres. Such parcel must be located on a street or highway considered to be major arterial
street and capable of carrying the high volume of traffic a shopping center will generate.
(p.) flAinimurn site improvernents.
\~I
(1 ) Except as otherwise specified below, all buildings, structures, or improvements shall
provide the following setbacks:
a. There shall be a minimum setback of 15 feet from all public streets.
b. There shall be a minimum of 20 feet from any other interior side or rear
common property line.
c. When a C-1 property line shares a common property line with a residentially
zoned parcel, the minimum setback from that common property line shall be 35
feet.
(2) Exceptions where setback areas specified above may be used for the following
purpose:
a. Off-street parking and loading and traffic circulation, including lights for the
illumination of such area, except where landscaped areas are required by this
article;
b. Signs necessary to direct and control vehicular and pedestrian tiaffic within
the shopping center;
c. The permitted signs identifying the center.
(3) The height of buildings shall not exceed 55 feet.
(4) When a parcel zoned C-1 shares a common property line with parcel(s) zoned
residential uses, there shall be a six-foot high masonry wall erected and maintained by
the commercial property owner along such property line; provided, that such wall shall
be only three feet high from the setback line of the adjoining property to the front
property line.
(5) See subsection 58-82(i) for requirements for mechanical penthouses, rooftop
mechanical equipment, stair tower enclosures, elevators and parapets.
(f) Shopping center parking requirements. It is the intent of the city to require shopping centers
to provide adequate parking for the businesses within a shopping center but at the same time
avoid the proliferation or overbuilding of parking for shopping centers which is prevalent
throughout most of the nation. The parking requirements of this zoning code, as with most other
cities, is based on providing adequate parking for customers at a single destination. In shopping
centers where customers often have multiple destinations this often leads toan overbuilding of
parking. As a result, this district establishes both minimum and maxirnum parking requirements
as follows:
(1 ) Shopping centers shall meet and provide the minimum number of parking spaces
required by this code, as a cumulative total of the individual businesses or tenant
spaces, except as otherwise provided for by this section. ~
http://libraryl.municode.comlmcc/DocView/11730/1/115/118 1 () I" f') ()(\7
~ V/...JI L\J\J I
(2) In calculating the minimum parking standards, internal pedestrian mall areas,
corridors that are in the shopping center common areas (as opposed to individual tenant
spaces), and areas dedicated to mechanical, electrical or plumbing space that services
shopping centers generally (as opposed to individual tenant spaces) within the shopping
centers may be excluded from the area calculated in meeting the parking requirements.
However, parking shall be provided for all tenant areas within these mall areas including
freestanding retail booths, restaurant areas, food court areas, ticket sales, and other
vending areas. Shopping centers shall not be required to provide parking for pedestrian
mall areas that are utilized for special events such as antique car show, used book
sales, art shows, antique shows, craft shows, etc.
(3) In calculating the minimum parking standards, this code shall allow for warehouse
or storage areas within the major anchor stores and individual tenant spaces to be
counted as a warehouse and storage use, provided these spaces are restricted to these
uses and do not exceed five percent of the gross leasable area.
(4) A percentage of the parking required by this code may be composed of grass or
other pervious surfaces when that parking is deemed to be located where it will be
utilized on an infrequent basis except for certain peak holiday shopping periods.
(5) To the extent various businesses have different times of usage during the day, the
city commission may consider this mix of uses in establishing compliance with the
minimum parking requirements of this section as part of the review and approval of
building permit plans as specified in this district.
(g) Minimum off-site accommodations for traffic. Given that shopping centers are major traffic
generators, these shopping centers, at the time of development, expansion or major
redevelopment, shall be required to address the off-site traffic generation impacts of the
development proposed and adherence to the city's concurrency management regulations. The
city shall require submission of traffic impact studies by independent transportation consulting
firms to determine the scale and nature of the impacts and compensating or mitigating actions
deemed appropriate. The city may require site related off-site traffic improvements as deemed
necessary.
(h) Minimum on-site accommodations for transit.
(1) Given that shopping centers are the focal point for many transit users, these
shopping centers at the time of development, expansion or major redevelopment shall
be required to address on-site provisions that will accommodate and encourage the use
of mass transit. The city shall require that appropriate provisions be made to
accommodate these transit needs including, but not limited to, transit vehicle parking
and transfer areas, transit benches and shelters, transit signage, etc.; provided,
however, the transit facilities shall be appropriately located at site plan review so as not
to interfere with pedestrian or automobiie access to the shopping center.
(2) Shopping centers shall also be required to accommodate alternate modes of
transportation such as bicycles, by providing accommodations including bicycle racks
and/or storage shelters.
(i) Urban design guidelines and standards. The city commission may adopt and impose urban
,. , design and architectural guidelines and standards upon the development or redevelopment of
shopping centers as necessary to accomplish the goals and objectives of this ariicle.
U) Additional requirements.
(1 ) At the time of request for rezoning a parcel to C-1 or for a building permit to utilize a
parcel already zoned C-1, the applicant shall submit the additional information described
in subsection (2) for review by the planning and zoning commission and the city
commission, .....-c--.....
(~~

applicant shall submit the following information for review prior to the rezoning or
issuance of a permit.
a. A plot plan, drawn to scale, showing a unified and organized arrangement of
buildings, driveways, pedestrian ways, off-street parking and off-street loading
areas, landscaped areas, walls and walks. The plot plan shall show the locations
of entrances and exits and the direction of traffic flow into and out of off-street
parking and loading areas, the locations of each parking space and loading berth
and areas for turning and maneuvering vehicles. The plot plan shall indicate how
utilities service and drainage are to be provided.
