CITY COMMISSION
CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA
PUBLIC HEARING
IN RE: APPEAL FROM THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION TO APPRO~/E WITH CONDITIONS A SITE PLAN AND
VARI/hNCE FOR THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FROM 35 FEET
TO 39 FEET FOR THE GROVES AT SANFORDAPARTMENTS, 1301
EAST AIRPORT BOULEVARD, SANFORD, FLORIDA.
The City Commission based on the clear and convincing
evidence contained in the record before the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P&Z) on February 7, 2002, at Appeal Hearing on April
22, 2002, and during reconsideration of April 22, 2002, action on
May 28, 2002, makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS
OF LAW, and enters the following ORDER:
FINDINGS OF FACT
(1) That the property at 1301 East Airport Boulevard, Sanford,
Florida, abuts a developed residential subdivision consisting of
single-story detached single-family homes and two-story attached
multi-family town homes.
(2) That the applicant desires to construct a multi-family
apartment complex consisting of all three (3)story buildings,
with a variance in the maximum building height from 35 feet to 39
feet.
(3) That on February 7, 2002, the P&Z:
(A) Approved the request to increase the maximum
building height from 35 feet to 39 feet, subject
to conditions, one of which being that proposed
buildings 9, 12, 14, and 15 shall not exceed two
(2) stories and proposed buildings 7 and 10 shall
not exceed two (2) stories on the end units with
three (3) in the middle; and
(B) Approved the Site Plan subject to conditions,
one of which being that proposed buildings 9, 12,
14, and 15 shall not exceed two (2) stories and
proposed buildings 7 and 10 shall not exceed two
(2) stories on the end units and three (3) stories
in the middle; another of which being that the
Site Plan approval is subject to approval of a
Dimensional Variance to increase the maximum
building height from 35 feet to 39 feet.
(4) That the City Commission has set a policy of protecting
existing neighborhoods by mitigating the impacts of new
development on existing development, and of protecting property
rights, at the same time providing for legitimate use of
property.
CONCLUSIONS OF I.AW
(1) This commission finds that the increased building height
will provide more aesthetically pleasing elevations than the
standard of 35 feet permitted in the Land Development
Regulations; however, the impact of the new development on
existing development must be mitigated as much as possible.
ORDER
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Appellant/Applicant's
request to overturn the P&Z's approval with conditions on
February 7, 2002, is approved and the building height variance
from 35 feet to 39 feet is approved conditioned on the following:
buildings 12, 14 and 15 will be limited to two stories; buildings
12, 14 and 15 will have Bahama-style shutters installed over all
south side windows; there will be no windows on the south sides
of buildings 7 and 10; there will be no balconies in the entire
project; 6" caliper live oak trees rather than 4" caliper trees
will be installed along the southern property line, with the
developer to monitor and evaluate the trees after installation
and if there is a conflict with the trees and power line, the
developer will resolve the conflict so the trees are not topped
off; downlit, shoebox-type fixtures will be installed in the
parking lot; once the project is completed the project will be
subject to monitoring by city staff to ensure that it does not
affect neighboring subdivisions.
DONE AND ORDERED this 28th day of May, 2002.
