("sponsoring agency" shall mean an agency or unit of government, a profit or nonprofit
agency, or any other person or organization which intends to establish or operate a
community residential home) in an area zoned for multifamily, the agency shall notify
the city manager in writing and include in such notice the specific address of the site,
the residential licensing category, the number of residents, and the community support
requirements of the program. Such notice shall also contain a statement from the State

for and the licensing status of the proposed community residential home and specifying
how the home meets applicable licensing criteria for the safe care and supervision of
the clients in the home. The district administrator shall also provide to the city manager
the most recently published data compiled that identifies all community residential
homes in the district in which the proposed site is to be located. The city shall review the
notification of the sponsoring agency in accordance with the zoning ordinances of the
city.
2. Site review process. Pursuant to such review, the city may:
a. Determine that the siting of the community residential home is in accordance with
zoning and approve the siting. If the siting is approved, the sponsoring agency may
establish the home at the site selected.
b. Fail to respond within 60 days. If the city fails to respond within such time, the

planning council pursuant to F.S. 9 186.509. Mediation shall be concluded within 45
days of a request therefor. The resolution of any issue through the mediation process
shall not alter any person's, or the City's, right to a judicial determination of any issue if
that person is entitled to such a determination under statutory or common law.
E. Zoning requirements. A dwelling unit housing a community residential home or
community residential facility established pursuant to this section shall be subject to the
same local laws and ordinances applicable to other noncommercial, residential family
units in the area in which it is established.

City Code of the City of Sanford, as follows:

****
Section 5. Amendment Relating To Nonconforming Structures Or Uses.
The City Commission of the City of Sanford hereby amends Part III, Schedule L,
Section1.2 (Land Development Regulations), City Code of the City of Sanford, as
follows:
Section 1.2. Use, enlargement, replacement, alteration, expansion andlor
extension of an existing nonconforming structure andlor use.
Any structure and/or use which is lawfully existing on the effective date of these land
development regulations, or an amendment thereto, and which does not conform with
Schedules B through K of these regulations, may be used, enlarged, replaced, altered,
expanded and/or extended beyond the scope and area of its operation on the effective
date of these regulations, or amendment thereto, subject to the following regulations:
A. Such use, enlargement, replacement, alteration, expansion and/or extension is
hereby designated as a conditional use permissible in the specific zoning district in
which such existing nonconforming structure and/or use is located.
B. In addition to complying with all of the procedures, provisions and requirements of
these regulations for conditional use approval, all applicants for a conditional use permit
involving the use, enlargement, replacement, alteration, expansion and/or extension of
an existing nonconforming structure and/or use shall also provide the administrative

official with adequate and sufficient documentation to establish that the specific
nonconforming structure and/or use in question did in fact, lawfully exist on the effective
date of these regulations, or amendment, thereto, which resulted in such structure
and/or use becoming nonconforming. No application for a conditional use permit
involving such a request shall be accepted by the administrative official or considered
by the planning and zoning commission without such documentation of nonconformity
and proof of prior legal existence. Evidence of a valid local business tax receipt
oooupational license shall not in and of itself, establish a prima facie case for the
documentation of actual nonconformity and proof of prior legal existence.
C. All applications for a conditional use permit involving the use, enlargement,
replacement, alteration, expansion and/or extension of an existing nonconforming
structure and/or use shall be subject to all appropriate safeguards and conditions
necessary to ensure that any such approval will not be contrary to the public interest,
the intent of this schedule or injurious to the specific area in which the existing
nonconforming structure and/or use is located.
D. Under no circumstances shall the provisions of this section be construed to mean
that any existing nonconforming structure and/or use may be changed to another
nonconforming use, or that any provision, requirement and/or regulation contained
within this schedule [or] these regulations can be waived or reduced which can
reasonably be complied with by the applicant. In essence, the provisions of this section
shall not be construed and/or applied in such a manner as to permit the use,
enlargement, replacement, alteration, expansion and/or extension of any existing
nonconforming structure and/or use without justifiable reasons based on a legally
existing and nonconforming status; or such application that would result in any undue
hardship or injurious activity that would deprive adjacent individual property owners of
their property rights; or that would be detrimental to the area surrounding the
nonconforming premises in general.
Section 6. Amendment Relating To Right-Ot-Way Permitting. The City
Commission of the City of Sanford hereby amends Section 30-72, City Code of the City
of Sanford, as follows:

telecommunications company shall pay to the city annually $500.00 per linear mile,
which amount is prorated for any portion thereof, for any cable, fiber optic, or other
pathway that makes physical use of the city's rights-of-way. Such annual fee shall be
prorated to reflect the expiration date of this article and shall be payable annually, in
advance. If a telecommunications company that is required to pay a fee pursuant to this
subsection (1) increases the amount of its facilities occupying the city's rights-of-way
after such advance payment has been made, but prior to the expiration date of this
article, the fees due for the additional facilities shall be prorated and paid in full at the
time the facilities are installed in the city's rights-of-way. The fee or other consideration
imposed pursuant to this subsection shall not apply in any manner to any
telecommunications company which provides local telephone service for any services
provided by such telecommunications company.

forth in F.S. 9364.02(12).

payments shall be based upon such gross receipts on recurring local service revenues
for the immediately preceding installment period or portion thereof after the effective
date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, and shall be made within 30
calendar days following the end of the period. Past due payments or underpayments
shall bear interest accrued from the last day of the quarter for which the payment was
due. Interest shall be paid at the Florida statutory rate of interest on judgments as
established by F.S. 9 55.03. Payments shall include a statement as to how the fee
amount was determined and the statement shall be certified by the telecommunications
company's chief financial officer or other duly authorized representative of the company.
(c) If the city wishes to verify the payments due to the city under this section, the
telecommunications company shall permit the city or a designated representative of the
city, upon reasonable advance written notice, and during normal business hours, at the
location of the telecommunications company where such records are maintained in the
city, at another location satisfactory to the city, or elsewhere pursuant to subsection
(c)(1) or (2) of this section, to review or audit the telecommunications company's billing
and payment records kept in the ordinary course of business upon which the payments
were based. If a telecommunications company's records are not maintained in the city,
the telecommunications company shall either:
(1) Pay all reasonable expenses, including travel, following the provisions of F.S. 9
112.061 (6), (7) and (8) to the city for the city to have a review or audit performed; or
(2) Provide the city with access to copies of the telecommunications company's
records in the city or within 55 miles of the city or by an electronic method satisfactory to
the city.
However, without the specific written consent of a telecommunications company's audit
representative, no company records may be duplicated or taken from the
telecommunications company's premises, and the city shall maintain the confidentiality
of the information disclosed in these records and use the information solely for the
purposes of verifying payments by the telecommunications company. No acceptance of
payment shall be construed as a release or as an accord and satisfaction of any claim

the city may have for sums due and payable under this article unless the city agrees in
writing. If the city, pursuant to final audit findings, determines that there exists a
difference between the amount due to the city and the amount paid to the city, indicating
an underpayment to the city, in excess of five percent of the amount due, such
telecommunications company shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of the
audit.
(d) This article is adopted consistent with the provisions of F.S. 9 337.401 and other
applicable provisions of law. This section shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation
of the power of the city to prescribe and enforce reasonable rules and regulations
pursuant to applicable provisions of law.
(e) If required by applicable city ordinances, codes or regulations, a
telecommunications company shall be registered with the city and obtain all permits that
may be required by the city regarding occupation of the city's public rights-of-way for
telecommunications facilities.
