Staff Recommendations to City of Sanford Planning
and Zoning Commission for June 4, 1998 Meeting
Compiled May 29, 1998
By City of Sanford Department of Engineering and Planning
MARONDA HOMES - Request conditional use approval in conjunction with preliminary
subdivision plan approval to establish a single family subdivision on property Zoned MR -3,
Multiple Family Residential located at 200 Placid Woods Drive.
1. Site is Zoned MR -3, Multiple Family Residential and includes approximately six vacant
acres. '
2. Site is located between an elementary school and a developing single family subdivision.
Site is also adjacent to a main railroad line.
3. In MR -1, MR -2 and MR -3, Multiple Family Zoning Districts, the City's Zoning
Ordinance permits the establishment of single family dwellings with dimensional
standards different than SR -1 Zone requirements (which requires 6,000 square foot lots
with 60 foot lot widths) if such development is accomplished as a conditional use permit
in conjunction with approval of a preliminary subdivision that sets forth applicable
dimensional standards. In addition, the proposed development must comply with the
Comprehensive Plan and the density standards of the applicable zoning district.
4. The applicant requests to develop 40 single family dwellings on 3,800 square foot lots
with a lot width of 40 feet. The overall density proposed is approximately 7 dwelling
units per acre. MR -3 Zoning permits up to 20 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the
requested density is consistent with the applicable zoning district. The proposal is also
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan pursuant to a Future Land Use Plan designation
of High Density Residential - up to 20 dwelling units per acre.
5. A preliminary subdivision plan for Placid Woods Phase 3 is under review by City staff.
At the date of this writing several issues needed to be resolved and/or modified in order
for staff to recommend that the preliminary subdivision plan be approved.
6. Recommend that the conditional use permit to establish a single family subdivision
known as Placid Woods Phase 3 be approved based on consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan, consistency with MR -3, Multiple Family density standards and
compatibility with the character of the immediate area at the present time, provided,
however, that such approval shall not be effective unless and until all preliminary
subdivision plan issues are resolved to the satisfaction of Department of Engineering and
Planning.
HAROLD S. NOBLES R. - Request conditional use approval to establish a duplex in an SR-
1, Single Family Residential Zoning District located at the northeast corner of Myrtle Avenue
and 12 Street.
U
Site is Zoned SR -1, Single Family Residential and includes a residential building that
appears to have two addresses, one on 12 Street and one on Myrtle Avenue.
2. Site is adjacent to various residential uses including various single family dwellings,
various two - family dwellings (duplexes) and various properties with principle single
family dwellings with accessory dwelling units such as garage apartments.
3. The City rezoned this neighborhood from a multiple family zoning district to SRA,
Single Family in 1983. In general, the City's policy since then has been to discourage
multiple family uses. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed
several requests for two- family dwellings and has approved at least one such request to
reestablish two - family use of a property based on compatibility issues and character of the
immediate area. Likewise, the Planning and Zoning Commission has denied most
applications to establish or reestablish multiple family use within the rezoned SR -1 area.
4. The question is one of policy regarding the immediate area surrounding site.
5. The applicant has not provided documentation to support the application in terms of
meeting the criteria for a conditional use as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
6. Two alternative recommendations are provided: 1) Deny the request based on land use
and zoning policy already established in the neighborhood; or 2) Approve the request to
establish a two family dwelling based on similar uses already established in the blocks
immediately surrounding the site. Recommend action as deemed appropriate.
HOLY TRINITY CHURCH OF GOD FOR CHRIST/REVEREND JEUERY P.
WILLIAMS - Request for conditional use approval to expand a nonconforming structure in
order add a buildirg to an existing church Zoned MR -2, Multiple Family Residential located at
1514 South Mangoustine Avenue.
1. Site is Zoned MR -3 and includes a small existing church building of approximately 1,800
square feet on a site of approximately 15,500 square feet. The existing building is a lawfully
existing nonconforming structure because it is too close to the side and front property lines.
2. Various single family dwellings and an elementary school are located in the general vicinity
of site.
3. Applicant has provided a layout of the proposed additional building, which is proposed to
have 6 foot side yard building setbacks instead of the required 10 foot setback.
4. Several buildings in the vicinity of the site appear to have similar nonconformities to the
subject including front and side setbacks.
5. Recommend that the conditional use request to expand a nonconforming structure and use be
approved based on the existing character of the immediate area at the present time and the
fact that. the proposed building setbacks are similar to setbacks provided by other properties
in the general 4rea.
