The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request for a small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
and Future land Use Plan Map change for property located at 3706 S .
Sanford Avenue in an RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District.
Owner: C & S Bank; representative: Jerry Nance/
Roger Winstead of Breedlove Associates of Winter Park was present
for representation and stated that he concurs with recommendations
set forth in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. He stated that they
would also comply with the Director of Planning and Development's
recommendations.
In opposition to the request was Mr. John Wright. He stated that
his mother lives on the adjoining property and that he has some
questions regarding the type of detention center. He asked what
kind of and the reason for a detention center? Mr. Wright stated
that he is concerned with the commercial zoning in relationship to
his mother's property. He stated that an unhealthy element would
detract from his mother's property instead of bringing the value
UP. Mr. Wright stated that they have been trying to sell her
property. Mr. Wright noted that his mother has lived at this
residence for 50 years and that it has been zoned residential for
that long. He stated that this zoning would not be compatible.
Jerry Nance, Executive Director of Teen Challenge Ministry stated
that this was not a program that would be for detainees or
prisoners or people from jail or anything like this. Teen
Challenge is a 1 -year christian discipleship training ,school.
There are times that courts may refer someone to Teen Challenge but
they are not there against their will. They have to choose because
it is a Christ centered program, a church organization. In the
history of Teen Challenge, it has not had any problems with
neighbors as it relates to the kind of programs. It is a bible
school, or a training institution.
Mr. Speer stated that he was not familiar with this organization
and asked if this was a day time or over - night program. Mr. Dance
stated that it is residential and would not have more that 100
people there. They would like to start off with 60 students.
Students do not come and go as on a college campus setting. It is
a disciplined programs. The schedule is controlled on a day to day
basis. Students have free time, but this time is controlled.
Counselors are on duty 24 hours per day. The age group is 18 and
above.
Mr. Nance stated that Teen challenge is in operation with the
Orange Avenue Church of God, in Winter Haven and in Ft. Lauderdale.
Mr. Speer asked if the organizations in Orlando and Winter Haven
have 80 to 100 people involved. Mr. Nance stated that there are 40
in Winter. Haven and 14 women in Orlando. Both facilities will be

combined at this location. This property is under contract to
purchase subject to proper rezoning. Most of the clientele are
from Orange, Seminole, and Volusia counties.
Mr. Wright voiced. concerns regarding someone being sent to Teen
Challenge that has committed a, felony. Mr. Nance stated it is a
rarity that they receive a student through the courts.
Occasionally, a student is received from the courts but they are in
such a structured environment that they do not have the freedom to
go roaming. The students are not behind fences but are highly
supervised. Mr. Nance stated that there are 125 teen challenge
centers throughout America. Mr. Nance stated that this is not a
state funded but rather a private and church funded facility. It is
not considered as correctional and IS not designed for
rehabilitation; but is Christ.centered, a Bible study center. The
students must meet the required criteria to be accepted. There
would not be an HRS inspection but they would meet all criteria for
County facilities relateing , to safety, hazards, fire, and all
health inspections for food services.
Mr. Wright asked what guarantee would be given as to the number of
students would come from the police? Mr. Dennison stated that no
one can guarantee that any felons would not be on this property.
Mr. Dance stated that they receive 95 -98% referrals from churches.
Typically, the students have been in a church environment.
Mr. Nance stated that they are moving the facility in Winter Haven
because the land has been leased and the owners are developing the
property into a golf course trailer park. Because of the square
footage here, it is more cost efficient to close the Orlando
facility. As far as recreation in the evening, there are Bible
study times and classes.
A gentleman in the audience asked why would the zoning be changed
in that one area when everything around it is commercial and
industrial. The Chairman stated that it has been requested and the
Commission is considering it.
Mrs. Stairs mowed to recommend the change to the Comprehensive Plan
based on the fact that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
consistent with - the overall Comprehensive Plan and goals and
objectives of that Plan, Seconded by Mr. Brooks. Mr. Speer
opposed. Motion carried.
The neat item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request to Rezone property located at 3706 S. Sanford
Avenue from RI -1, Restricted Industrial, to that of RMOI, Multiple
Family Residential - office- Institutional. Owner: C & 5 Bank;
representative: Jerry Nance.
Roger Winstead, Breedlove Bennis and Associates, 4301 Metric Drive,
Winter Park, stated that they are in agreement with Mr. Marder's
analysis and read. Mr. Marder's findings into the record.
Mrs. Welch asked haw does this site relate to the noise contours of
the Airport. Mr. Marder stated that they are quite a distance
away. Mr. Nance stated that he believes this land use is very
ideal for this type of program. He feels it will be an asset to
the Sanford area and believe that in time the neighbors will be
glad to have this facility here because of the type of programs and
people that are apart of this organization.
Mr. Ron Neal asked if a public school or private school came in if
it would be institutional or educational. Is there a difference
here or is it the same,? Mr. Marder stated that in the overall land
use category schools are permitted in any of the land use
categories and are mostly conditional uses in the zoning districts.
The zoning would. not be changed but a conditional use would be
granted. Mr. Neal asked if the occupants can come and go at will or
are they restrained? Mr. Nance stated, that they cannot go and carne

at will. Mr. Marder stated that we classify t his as a residential
care facility which is permitted in multiple family zoning
districts. Mr. Neal stated that his mother - in - law has lived here
for 30 to 40 years and this has been an open space area for several
years. He conveyed his concerns regarding security to the
Commission. Mr. Dennison stated that with the interstate and other
concerns, specifically the Handy way, that these would cause more
concerns for security than what is being proposed.
Mr. Speer asked Staff how did office buildings come into an
industrialLY zoned area. How did Cardinal get to build office
buildings across the street? Mr. Marder stated that the zoning
permits offices to be constructed within industrial zones. Mr.
Speer asked for what purposes could the office building be used
i.e. architects, etc.. Mr. Marder stated it could be used for
anything that we would classify as an office.
Allen Bullock, 961 Waverly Drive in Longwood, stated that he is a
licensed and ordained Baptist minister. He is also on staff with
Teen Challenge. He stated that he has been around Teen Challenge
for 19 1/ 2 years. Currently, he is the director of -development for
Teen Challenge of Florida. Teen challenge makes the decision as to
who is accepted in the program. There are not a lot of crazy
people running around.. It is a Bible training facility. There
are over 300 centers like this around the world. Mr. Bullock
stated that he ran the largest network of Teen. Challenge Center in
America in Riverside, California, There were 7 centers, 2 schools
2 churches, and a graduate school. The main facility was 28 acres
in Riverside in the heart of the richest section. one area

The next item for consideration was the site plan for the Leipuner
Office, located at 4218 Orlando Drive in a. GC -2, General Commercial
Zoning District. owner: Grettel Leipuner and Rose Marie Polakoff;
representative: Walter Leipuner. (Tabled October 15,
Mr. Leroy made a motion to remove from the table. Seconded by Mr.
Speer. All in favor. Motion carried.
Water Leipuner, 522 Haver Lake Circle, Apopka, stated that there
are two points of staff's recommendation of which he is concerned.
One, staff has recommended the paving of the entrance gays and the
parking lot. This is cost prohibitive. If paveing of the parking
lot is required for 5 cars, its going to cost around $34,000 for
engineering, construction, retention ponds, permits from the St.
Johns River mater Management District, etc. It will not be a heavy
use situation. Mr. Leipuner requested that approval be given for
a permeable parking situation. Everything else asked for has been
complied with. Mrs. Sonnenberg has asked for fire hydrant, and
water & sewer agreements. The only other modification is on the
landscape plan.. Being good neighbors, Mr. Leipuner stated that he
did not want to block the Shenandoah Village sign with trees and
shrubs. Mr. Leipuner requested that he not be required to put in
the shrubs and trees blocking their sign. Proposed handicap
parking will be paved. A handicapped person will be able to park
on a paved area and move completely into the building on a paved
area. A concrete apron will be put in for the driveway and they
would like to mulch the proposed area. On the side of the building
where the handicap designation is the existing drive that will be
blocked with a curb stop and used for a handicapped person. So
what is needed is a waiver on the rest of the paving. The
Commission had waived the parking spaces but not the drive lanes at
the last meeting for the conditional use.
Mr. Leipuner stated he is requesting to eliminate the shrubs
and trees along the entranceway, because this would completely
block Shenandoah Village's sign, and along part of the front.
Mr. Leroy moved on approval to waive the paved parking area and
allowing them to use a mulch parking area, the handicap space to be
paved, also to relocate the variegated. pittosporum hedge back to
the edge of the mulch parking area leaving the laurel oaks out as
shown on the submitted site plan unless under the power line
subject to staff location. Seconded by Mrs. welch. Mr. Leroy
moved to amend the motion to include waival of the installation of
the sidewalk along Orlando Drive until such time as the property on
either side of the subject property is developed or redeveloped..
Seconded by Mrs. welch. Mr. Speer, Mr. Brooks, and Mrs. stairs in
opposition. Amendment carried. Motion carried as amended
unanimously.
Mr. Speer requested that staff give some guidance to applicants to
be clear of what they are trying to do. Mr. Marder agreed that the
applicants should be required to provide a plan that meets our
standards then if they grant to argue that something different be
done then they can do that. Mr. Brooks requested that the
Commission. stop making exceptions and have some consistency. Mrs.
Stairs agreed with Mr. Brooks when we do make one developer put in
sidewalks and then arbitrarily give another developer a waiver on
this. Mrs. Stairs stated, she has a problem with this.
The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of a request for
an extension of time for the approval of Beardall Industrial Park,
2511 Beardall Avenue. Approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on 11/7/91 and approved a 5 -month extension on 6/4/92.

TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of November 5, 1992
TEEN CHALLENGE OF FLORIDA, INC. - Request for a small -scale comprehensive plan
change from Future Land Use Plan Map Designation of Industrial to
Residential /Office /Institutional and rezone from RI -1, Restricted Industrial to RMOI,
Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional for property located at 3706 S.
Sanford Avenue.
See attached ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED SMALL SCALE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, FUTURE LAND USE PLAN MAP
CHANGE FOR "TEEN CHALLENGE"
ACTS CONSTRUCTION - Request conditional use approval to install a 1,000 gallon
above - ground fuel tank for an emergency generator for property being utilized by the
Seminole County Sheriff located at the Sanford Airport.
1. Site includes an office building, associated parking and an outdoor storage
area being utilized for equipment and vehicles. Site and surrounding area are
Zoned RI -1, Restricted Commercial.
2. Various wholesale warehouse and miscellaneous industrial buildings are
located in the immediate area. A tennis court is also located adjacent to site.
3. The airport generally evidences various tank storage equipment in various
locations in close proximity to site.
4. Recommend approval of the request to install an above - ground tank at the
Sheriff's Office at the Sanford Airport based on existing outdoor storage and
similar activities already located in the immediate area.
FRANKLIN ARMS APARTMENTS /SEESURRUN - Request conditional use approval to
waive required number of parking spaces for multiple family dwellings located at the
intersection of Santa Barbara Avenue and Florida Street.
PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NOVEMBER 5, 1992
PAGE 2, October 26, 1992
1 A. Site includes a two -story apartment complex located in an MR -3, Multiple
Family Residential Zone at the intersection of Santa Barbara Avenue and
Florida Street.
1B. Site presently has 82 parking spaces. The City's Land Development
Regulations require 88 parking spaces for 44 dwelling units. General
observation of site reflects a lack of additional, undeveloped land area that
would be necessary to accommodate additional parking.
1 C. The applicant is requesting a waiver because a storage area was converted to
an additional dwelling unit during a previous ownership. This was brought to
the City's attention when an additional address was needed. When the
complex was originally built, it would have been required to provide 1.5
parking spaces per dwelling unit. The 82 parking spaces provided would have
provided sufficient spaces for 54 dwellings.
2. Site is adjacent to existing one and two - family dwellings, multiple family
dwellings and a lake.
3. Recommend approval of the conditional use request to utilize 82 rather than
88 parking spaces based on the fact that the apartment complex was built
according to previous standards that would have accommodated the present
number of dwellings, the lack of sufficient land to provide additional spaces
and the general character of the immediate area at the present time.
GRACE PROPERTIES - Request conditional use approval to vary setback requirements
to establish an identification sign for an apartment complex located at 4220 South
Orlando Drive (Shenandoah Village)
1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and includes a small strip of land
providing access to the Shenandoah Village apartment complex. The site is
basically a strip of land that includes the access road to the apartments.
The site is too small to meet minimum setbacks for placement of signage to
identify the apartment complex. This situation occurred because the adjacent
properties were divided and sold without regard to proper planning practices
pursuant to the City's subdivision procedures.
2. Adjacent uses include vacant land and apartments. The tract immediately
north of site includes the existing signage for the apartments. That tract is
proposed to be utilized for an office pursuant to plans approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission during their immediately preceding meeting.
PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NOVEMBER 5, 1992
PAGE 2, October 26, 1992
3. Recommend approval of the request for a variance of the setback
requirements for signs based on existing configuration of parcels at the
present time with the condition that all other requirements of the City's Land
Development Regulations shall be met with regards to the identification sign
for the apartments.

FUTURE LAND USE PLAN MAP CHANGE FOR "TEEN CHALLENGE"
City of Sanford, Florida
October 26, 1992
A. Land Area in Acres - Approximately 5 acres
B. Existing and Proposed Use - The site was developed as a modular office
complex by Cardinal Industries, a defunct manufactured housing company.
The modules are similar to the company's multiple family and hotel buildings
in that they are clusters of single story buildings interspersed with parking and
landscaped areas. A total of 30,000 square feet presently exist on the site.
Teen Challenge of Florida, Inc. proposes to use the site as a residential care
facility that will house up to 100 persons which includes 10 live -in staff.
C. Adjacent Use {See attached maps} - The present land uses adjacent to the site
includes neighborhood commercial, light industrial and vacant lands.
Specifically, a convenience store is located to the north of the site in an area
Zoned GC -2, General Commercial that is designated Commercial on the Future
Land Use Plan Map. An industrial subdivision that is presently vacant is
located on the sit's west. Lots 8 and 9 of the Keyes Industrial Park combined
with the vacant tract immediately south of the site is presently undergoing site
plan review for a light indoor manufacturing use. A large interchange for the
Seminole County Expressway is presently under construction adjacent to the
western boundary of the industrial park. County Road 427 is being four -laned
in the immediate vicinity of the interchange. The former Cardinal Industries
manufacturing plant is located adjacent to the site on the east side of Sanford
Avenue and is presently vacant.
D. Existing and Proposed Land Use Designation - The site presently is designated
"Industrial" which generally provides for wholesale storage and industrial use
with offices and certain commercial activities. The applicant proposes to
designate the site as " Residential /Office /Institutional" which will provides for
office and institutional uses at an FAR of .35 plus multiple family dwellings at
20 or less units per acre.
E. Existing and Proposed Zoning Designation - The site is presently Zoned RI -1,
Restricted Industrial. The RI -1 Zone permits indoor wholesale storage and
manufacturing activities. The applicant proposes to rezone the site to RMOI,
Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional, in order to establish a
residential care facility utilizing the existing office buildings.

F. Water, Sewer, Drainage, Solid Waste, Traffic, and Recreation
Water. Potable water demand for the existing office complex is based on 12
ERU's which provides for 4,521 gallons per day (Based on 2.34 persons per
housing unit as of 1990 times 161 gallons per day equals 377 gallons per
dwelling unit times the potential number of additional dwelling units or ERU's).
Potable water demand for the residential care facility will be 16,100 gallons
per day (Based on 161 gallons per capita per day). Therefore the residential
care facility will provide for a net increase in potable water facility demand of
11,579 gallons per day. Pursuant to the City's last plan amendment, available
capacity through 1995 was 1.39 MGD. Therefore, the City's potable water
facilities are capable of accommodating the demand that can be anticipated
from the proposal.
Sewer. Sewer demand for the present office facility is 4,128 gallons per day
(Based on 2.34 persons per housing unit as of 1990 times 147 gallons per
capita per day equals 344 gallons per dwelling unit times 12 ERU's based on
FDER permit). Sewer demand for the residential care facility will be 14,700
gallons per day (Based on 147 gallons per capita per day. Therefore the
residential care facility will provide for a net increase in sewer demand of
10,572 gallons per day. Pursuant to the City's last plan amendment,
available capacity through 1995 was .97 MGD. Therefore, the City's sewer
facilities are capable of accommodating the demand that can be anticipated
from the proposal.
Drainage. Existing drainage characteristics are not anticipated to change
appreciably. The site drains to the south through a subbasin system that
eventually connects to Lake Jessup. Anticipated constructions south of site
mentioned above will integrate the site's existing drainage system in a manner
that will provide retention /detention LOS to accommodate a 25 year, 24 hour
storm event.
Solid Waste. Additional impact will be 299 pounds of solid waste per day
(Based on 2.99 pounds per day per capita). Pursuant to the City's last plan
amendment, available capacity through 1995 at the county's landfill was
381,096 tons per day. Therefore the residential care facility will provide for
a negligible increase in solid waste facility demand. As such, the county's
solid waste facilities are capable of accommodating the demand that can be
anticipated from the proposal.
Traffic. Total citywide traffic impact for the existing office use would be 369
ADT's based on 12.3 ADT /1,000 Sq.Ft. (Based on ITE standards for trip
generation). Anticipated traffic generation for the proposed residential care
2
facility, will be approximately 280 ADT's based on 2.8 trips per person (based
on ITE standards for apartments). Therefore there will be a net anticipated
decrease in traffic generation of approximately 89 ADT's.
Recreation. The potential residential population of approximately 100 persons
will create the demand for .3 acres of park land (Based on 3 acres per 1,000
persons or .003 acres times each person served by development; reflects one
acre per 1,000 persons for community parks and 2 acres per 1,000 for
neighborhood parks).
Conclusion - The Teen Challenge program is classified as a residential care facility
that would generally be further classified as an institutional land use. The site and
the immediate environs is undergoing a transitional period. While certain light
industrial activities continue to function in the area, the industrial land use pattern
was established prior to the connection of Lake Mary Boulevard to Sanford Avenue
two years ago. Also the expressway's imminent presence appears to provide greater
visibility and accessibility that provide for a wider range of land use classifications
in the immediate area. Further, the existing "modular" buildings on the site were
originally designed for a multiplicity of uses. Based on the existing design of the
buildings already located on the site plus the existing and transitional character of the
area at the present time, the transition from an Industrial to a
Residential /Office /Institutional Future Land Use Designation would be consistent with
the Future Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies of Sanford's Comprehensive Plan.
In conjunction with the recommended approval of the small scale comprehensive plan
amendment for this site, rezoning from RI -1, Restricted Industrial to RMO1, Multiple
Family Residential, Office and Institutional is recommended based on the above
findings and compatibility with the recommended plan amendment.
