The 21.56 -acre property is located on the southwest side of East Seminole Boulevard and Oak
Avenue just south of Lake Monroe. The property owners are Triple B Acquisitions, LLC and Leo
C Trepanier Revocable Trust. The applicant is Javier Omana with CPH, Inc. who was responsible
for completing the Citizens Awareness and Participation Plan (CAPP) requirements of the City's
LDRs. The Affidavit of Ownership and Designation of Agent forms are attached and other
information is available in order to ensure that all potential conflicts of interests are capable of
being discerned.
The property is currently located in unincorporated Seminole County with an A-1, Agriculture; C-
1, Retail Commercial Commodities and R1 -A zoning and SE, Suburban Estates; COM,
Commercial and LDR, Low Density Residential Future Land use to WDBD, Waterfront
Downtown Business District at project address 2485 W. Seminole Boulevard.
The applicant has submitted a petition for annexation to bring the property into the City of Sanford
in order to receive City services. Upon annexation, the site will maintain its current land uses as
assigned by Seminole County, until an amendment is processed to incorporate the property into
the City's Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has submitted a request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan from Seminole County's land use classifications of SE, Suburban Estates;
COM, Commercial and LDR, Low Density Residential Future Land use to the City of Sanford's
WDBD, Waterfront Downtown Business District.
The property is located outside of any of the of the overlay zoning districts associated with the
downtown and riverfront; however it is located within the City of Sanford/Seminole County Joint
Planning Agreement (JPA) area 9. Exhibit B of the JPA describes equivalent future land use
designations in the City and the County Comprehensive Plan. The designations have been deemed
equivalent due to their similar intensities and densities of allowable development. The excerpt for
Area 9 is outlined below, which further defines the appropriate land use classification for these
parcels. (please note emphasized text):
9
North of the
Railroad/South
of US 17-92
The City has established a new land use designation for this area,
Waterfront Downtown Business District, in order to provide a planning
and management framework for promoting the revitalization,
development, and redevelopment of the Lake Monroe waterfront and
the historic downtown area. All parcels between the railroad and US
17-92 from Mellonville Ave. to 1-4 will take this desilInation as they
are annexed into the City. The maximum intensity of nonresidential
development, other than industrial, measured as a floor area ratio
(FAR) is 2.0 for the areas east of French Ave., and .35 for the areas
west of French Ave. These FAR's are intended to illustrate the amount
of development on both specific parcels and in the district overall. The
maximum density for residential development shall be 50 units per
acre. The maximum FAR for industrial uses will be .5.
The implementation of the Waterfront/Downtown Business Land Use
Designation will not require amendments to the zoning map and land
development regulations and all underlying zoning requirements and
land development restrictions will remain in place, including those that
ensure the protection of environmentally sensitive lands, wetlands,
floodplains and drainage ways, aquifer recharge areas, aquatic habitats,
native vegetation and wildlife habitats. All efforts should be made to
protect existing single-family areas from the impacts of more intense
development with added buffering and transition of building heights.
As outlined in the City's Coinpi-ehensive Plan, the WDBD is designed to provide centralized
residential, governmental, cultural, institutional, and general commercial activities within the
downtown and waterfront urban area, while preserving the City's historic character and cultural
heritage through context -sensitive design. The designation provides a planning and management
framework for promoting the revitalization, development and redevelopment of the historic downtown
commercial area. The purpose of the WDBD is to:
• Generate a revitalization effort that attracts private sector investment and strengthens the City's
economy;
• Establish the district as a Regional center;
• Strengthen public/private partnerships;
• Enhance the livability of North Seminole County by encouraging improved residential, retail,
educational, cultural and entertainment opportunities; and
• Provide the framework for redevelopment and infill.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has not reviewed the staff report and the specific analysis provided by City
staff, but has noted the following:
This matter is not a quasi-judicial matter as amendments to local government comprehensive plans
are legislative in nature. That being said, if a proposal to amend the City Comprehensive Plan is
to be recommended for denial, it would be appropriate to state the particular reason for such a
recommendation to be considered by the City Commission - such as the proposal is internally
inconsistent with a goal, objective or policy of the Comprehensive Plan or inconsistent with
controlling State law or the like.
The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4636 on October 25, 2021.
The City Clerk published notice of the 2nd Public Hearing in the Sanford Herald on October 27,
2021.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation to adopt Ordinance No. 4636.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4636.
