Schedule B - Permitted Uses:
• Schedule B, Permitted Uses, has been modified to include townhouses as a new residential land
use category and in which zoning districts townhouses are permitted.
• Eliminate regulation of alcohol beverage sales in the LDR, provide performance criteria, if
necessary, within the existing City Code (Chapter 3, Alcoholic Beverages).
• Correct irregularities and ambiguities associated with Commercial Amusements (includes
footnotes) .
• Include a "problematic" land use category (i.e., tattoo parlors, body piercing, pawn shops, check
cashing and blood plasma centers).
Schedule C - Area and Dimensional Requirements & Schedule I -- Base Building Line and
Designated Right of Way Requirements for Specific Streets:
• Schedule I includes all information on base building lines and designated right -of -way lines.
Some of this information was previously in Schedule G.
• The setback lines for properties on the portions of 17192 and Seminole Boulevard that front on
Lake Monroe have been deleted; therefore, the usual front yard setbacks as denoted in Schedule C
will govern.
■ Combine Schedule I information with Schedule C.
Schedule E - Additional Requirements and Provisions for Specific Uses:
• Townhome s :
In 2003, the City Commission approved new regulations governing the design of
multifamily housing after a recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The regulations are intended to improve the appearance of multifamily
developments.
The City Commission desired similar regulations for townhouses. The proposed
regulations for townhouses are intended to improve the quality and appearance of
townhouse developments without dictating any particular style. The regulations also
define townhouse. These regulations are located in Schedule E Section 15.0.
Drop -off boxes
The City wishes to halt the proliferation of unmanned drop -off boxes for the donation of
clothing and other small items. Schedule E, Sections 2 & 10 have been amended to
prohibit, city -wide, drop off boxes for the collection of clothes, etc. by both charitable
organizations and private businesses.
Schedule G - Requirements for Vehicles and Designated Right -of -Way:
• Parking, road and access standards are currently, spread throughout Schedules G, H, I and N
making it difficult to find a topic. In addition, there are also conflicts between the standards
within the schedules. Therefore this schedule will be eliminated.
• In an effort to make it easier to find regulations and to make Sanford's roadway standards
consistent with those of FDOT and Seminole County, information currently in Schedule G will
now be located in Schedule H, I or N.
Schedule H - Minimum Vehicular Parking and Loading Requirements:
■ Schedule H will include all parking and loading standards. Parking standards have been modified
to eliminate calculations based on the number of employees and to include only those based on
square footage and number of seats.
a. New types of businesses have been added to the list of parking space standards to reflect
a wider range of parking needs.

of parking spaces for infrequent or unusual types of businesses.

• Bicycle parking standards have been added.
• Stacking standards have been added for drive- through uses based on studies performed by the
