located at 1400 Rinehart Road.
Representative Jim Willard was present. He stated that the parcel contains 60 acres that is
located north of the Greenway between Towne Center Blvd, which is to the west and Rinehart
Road, which is to the east. The benefit of obtaining a designation as a Regional Activity Center

process. They are waiting on state approval for the regional activity center and all impacts will
be addressed through Sanford's city codes. The PD plan will be brought back before this board
at a later date with details showing the store locations and sizes.
Mr. Gibson stated that the existing DRI is Seminole Properties, which is primarily the Mall and
