Comprehensive Plan. The allocation of land for mixed-use development including commercial and
residential shall be compatible with goals and objectives identified in the Comprehensive Plan and
consistent with supportive research and analysis. Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive
Plan that are relevant to this application are listed below:

100 peak -hour trips, or at the discretion of City Staff.
A traffic impact study was submitted as part of the PD Rezone request. The intensity of the
development, including the commercial and residential components, will further assessed during
engineering review. The adjacent roads are Seminole County right of ways which will require
county review and approval for ingress/egress points and necessary improvements.
Infrastructure
Policy INF 1.1.2. Maintain Public Facility Concurrency Requirements. A concurrency
management system (CMS) shall be maintained and enforced as part of the LDRs for potable
water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management and solid waste.
The City's Utility Department tracks water and wastewater capacities for all projects once a

shall implement requirements in the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) requiring certain
residential development to accommodate recreational or other amenities onsite in order to offset
impacts of the project on the City's recreation LOS and provide an improvement that contributes
to the design of the project.

The proposed PD, if approved, would promote mixed-use centers which is an initiative associated
with the strategic priority listed as "Update Regulatory Framework" in the Imagine Sanford
strategic plan adopted by the City Commission. The Sipes Avenue Property PD will create a
mixed-use project that provides a different housing option in proximity to the airport as well as
opportunity for neighborhood supporting commercial uses.
Staff finds that the Sipes Avenue Property Planned Development and associated master plan are
consistent with the City of Sanford Comprehensive Plan.
On September 2, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the City Commissions
adopt an ordinance to Rezone approximately 14.69 acres from AG, Agriculture to PD, Planned
Development to establish the Sipes Avenue Property PD subject to the a Development Order with
the conditions as recommended by staff.
LEGAL REviEw:
The City Attorney has not reviewed the staff report and the specific analysis provided by City
staff, but has noted the following: Section 166.033, Florida Statutes, as amended in the recent
Legislative Session, in Chapter 2021-224, Laws of Florida (deriving from Committee Substitute
for Committee Substitute for House Bill Number 1059) provides as follows (please note
emphasized text):
"(1) When reviewing an application for a development permit that is certified by a professional
listed in s. 403.0877, a municipality may not request additional information from the
applicant more than three times, unless the applicant waives the limitation in writing. Before
a third request for additional information, the applicant must be offered a meeting to attempt
to resolve outstanding issues. Except as provided in subsection (4), if the applicant believes
the request for additional information is not authorized by ordinance, rule, statute, or other
legal authority, the municipality, at the applicant's request, shall proceed to process the
application for approval or denial.
(2) (a) When a municipality denies an application for a development permit, the
municipality shall give written notice to the applicant. The notice must include a
citation to the applicable portions of an ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority
for the denial of the permit.
(b) If a municipality makes a request for additional information and the applicant submits the
required additional information within 30 days after receiving the request, the municipality
must review the application for completeness and issue a letter indicating that all required
information has been submitted or specify with particularity any areas that are deficient
within 30 days after receiving the additional information.
(c) If a municipality makes a second request for additional information and the applicant
submits the required additional information within 30 days after receiving the request, the
municipality must review the application for completeness and issue a letter indicating that
all required information has been submitted or specify with particularity any areas that are
deficient within 10 days after receiving the additional information.
(d) Before a third request for additional information, the applicant must be offered a meeting to
attempt to resolve outstanding issues. If a municipality makes a third request for additional
information and the applicant submits the required additional information within 30 days
after receiving the request, the municipality must deem the application complete within 10
days after receiving the additional information or proceed to process the application for
approval or denial unless the applicant waived the municipality's limitation in writing as
described in paragraph (a).
(e) Except as provided in subsection (5), if the applicant believes the request for additional
information is not authorized by ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority, the
municipality, at the applicant's request, shall proceed to process the application for approval
or denial.
(3) As used in this section, the term "development permit" has the same meaning as in s.
163.3164, but does not include building permits.
(4) For any development permit application filed with the municipality after July 1, 2012, a
municipality may not require as a condition of processing or issuing a development permit
that an applicant obtain a permit or approval from any state or federal agency unless the
agency has issued a final agency action that denies the federal or state permit before the
municipal action on the local development permit.
(5) Issuance of a development permit by a municipality does not in any way create any right on
the part of an applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create
any liability on the part of the municipality for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to
obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or
undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law. A municipality shall attach
such a disclaimer to the issuance of development permits and shall include a permit condition
that all other applicable state or federal permits be obtained before commencement of the
development.
(6) This section does not prohibit a municipality from providing information to an applicant
regarding what other state or federal permits may apply."
The above -referenced definition of the term "development permit" is as follows:
"(16) 'Development permit' includes any building permit, zoning permit, subdivision approval,
rezoning, certification, special exception, variance, or any other official action of local
government having the effect of permitting the development of land." (Section 163.3164(16),
Florida Statutes).
Thus, if this application is denied, a denial development order must be issued which must cite to
the applicable portions of each ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority supporting the
denial of the application. For example, if a goal, objective or policy of the Sanford Coniprehensive
Plan were to be the basis for a denial, then such goal, objective or policy must be part of the motion
proposing the denial. A denial development order would be drafted to implement the actions of
the City Commission in the event of such occurrence. Accordingly, any motion to deny must state,
with particularity, the basis for the proposed denial.
The term "development order" is defined as follows and, as can be seen, refers to the "granting,
denying, or granting with conditions [of] an application":
"(15) 'Development order' means any order granting, denying, or granting with conditions an
application for a development permit." (Section 163.3164(15), Florida Statutes).
The City Attorney has drafted an Ordinance for this request.
The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4624, on September 27, 2021.
The City Clerk published notice of the 2" a Public Hearing in the Sanford Herald on Wednesday,
September 29, 2021.
