maximum height on towers. Mr. Marder stated that a height limit is
not being proposed. Seminole County will put in a maximum height of
200' in the zoning classifications where towers would be permitted by
right. This commission is in a position to add a height limitation
if it so desires. Mr. Skat stated that he is worried about not
having a maximum height limit if the tower is to be in an industrial
zone. He stated that on the height issue, he would like to see
Sanford run as concurrent with Seminole County as it possibly can.

far as distance bordering residential, and there is a latitude of 20'
which places 60 of the space that they would need to have to comply

still have to comply with the separation. Mr. Robert withdrew his
motion and Mr. Skat withdrew his second. Mr. Robert recommended to
recommend approval to the City Commission with the proviso that a
height limit of 200' be maximum within the permitted categories.
Seconded by Mr. Skat. Mr. Valerino stated that it should be inserted
into Modification 'provided it still complies with the standards set
in A ". Mr. Robert amended his motion to include all other criteria
be met in Section A. Seconded by Mr. Skat. All in favor. Motion

From the Director of Planning and Development
December 27, 1996
TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of January 2, 1997
RICHARDSON - SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT - Request
to amend the Future Land Use Plan Map of the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial for
property located at 200 Art Lane.
1- Land area in acres: 1 acre
2. Existing Use: Single Family Dwelling
3. Adjacent Use: Single family dwellings to north, immediately south and east.
Wetlands to west. Day care and neighborhood retail shopping and office
adjacent to Lake Mary Boulevard south of site.
4. Existing Land Use Designation: Low Density Residential as depicted in the
Seminole County Comprehensive Plan'.
5. Proposed Land Use Designation: Neighborhood Commercial
6. Water Sewer Drainage, Solid Waste Traffic and Recreation
Water - Total potential potable water demand will be 753 gallons per day
(Based on 2.34 persons per ERU, 1990 U.S. Census relationship, times 161
gallons per capita per day). Site is estimated to equal 2 ERU's.
Sewer - 688 gallons per day ( ERU's times 2.34 persons times 147
gal lons /capita/day).
Drainage - Adhere to 25 year, 24 hour LOS; outfall to wetlands to west.
Solid Waste - 16 pounds of solid waste per day (Based on 3.51 pounds per
capita for non residential use).
Traffic - Total traffic impact of 25 average daily trips (ADT's) based estimate of
2,400 square feet maximum per office in an RC -1, Restricted Commercial
zoning district and 12.3 average daily trips per 1,000 square feet of general
office.
Recreation - No impact for non - residential uses.
Summary: Potential facility impacts would not adversely effect facilities based on
level of service for facilities established in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Evaluation - The site was annexed in October, 1994. The site is designated as
Low Density Residential.' The property immediately to the south of the site is
designated Neighborhood Commercial as are other properties that are located
south of Meadow Street. Meadow Street constitutes an established boundary
line between residential and non - residential uses in the immediate area. There is
approximately four hundred (400) feet between Meadow Street and Lake Mary
Planning Recommendations - Page 1
Boulevard. Designating the subject site as Neighborhood Commercial would
change the Future Land Use Plan Map policy in the immediate area. The
Neighborhood Commercial - designated property immediately south of the site
appears to be utilized as a single family dwelling. Other property designated
Neighborhood Commercial between Meadow Street and the existing
neighborhood shopping center (Bayhead) is vacant at the present time.
8. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment of the site from Low Density
Residential to Neighborhood Commercial on the Future Land Use Plan Map in
the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. This recommendation
is based on the established single family residential character of the immediate
area surrounding the site, adequate depth of Neighborhood Commercial land
use designation already established adjacent to Lake Mary Boulevard and
continuation of Meadow Street as an established boundary between residential
and non - residential uses in the immediate area.
RICHARDSON - REZONE - Request to rezone from AG, Agricultural to RC -1,
Restricted Commercial for property located at 200 Art Lane.
1. Site is Zoned AG, Agricultural, contains approximately 1 acre and includes a
single family dwelling.
2. Uses adjacent to site include single family dwellings and wetlands, all of which
are zoned AG, Agriculture (City) or A -1, Agriculture (unincorporated). Various
commercial uses are located south of site including a day care facility and a
neighborhood shopping center, all of which are Zoned RC -1, Restricted
Commercial.
3. Requested rezoning requires an amendment to the Future Land Use Plan Map
of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan from Low Density
Residential to Neighborhood Commercial.
4. Meadows Street appears to constitute a boundary separation between
residential and non - residential land use designations.
5. For potential facility impacts see immediately above request.
6. Recommend denial of the request to change from AG, Agriculture to RC -1,
Restricted Commercial based on already- established single family residential
character of the immediate area surrounding site and the established boundary
between residential and non - residential land use designation and zoning in the
immediate area.
DEIS- NAPOLI'S - Recommendations not provided for alcoholic beverage requests.
Planning Recommendations - Page 2
LINKS AUTO SALES - Request conditional use approval to permit automobile dealer
sales and a dimensional variance for outdoor display for property Zoned GC -2, General

1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and includes an existing building and
existing parking- traffic circulation areas. Site is a corner parcel fronting French
Avenue and 12th Street.

station on the westerly half of the property. Existing improvements do not comply
with existing development standards including but not limited to access,
setbacks, landscape and drainage.

retail services.
3. Site is located several hundred feet north of the intersection of State Road
46125th Street and U.S. Highway 17 & 92 /French Avenue. Per observation,
automobiles do not have adequate distance /space to ingress and egress the
site from French Avenue, a situation which causes automobiles to remain in the

arterial roadway.
Planning Recommendations - Page 3
4. Recommend approval of the request to establish truck rental based on existing
automotive uses already located in the immediate area provided the following
conditions are met:
a. To the extent feasible, the site shall be made to conform to the Land
Development Regulations. Landscape and drainage facilities shall be
added as well as other appropriate improvements.
b. Site access shall be revised. Specifically, access from French Avenue

of the property. All access and parking areas shall be paved. Curb cuts
and driveways that are not incorporated into approved access points shall
be closed and curbing shall be reconstructed to insure adherence to
approved site plan.
SOUTHERN STOCK - Request dimensional variance to site yard building setback for
property Zoned GC -2, General Commercial located at the southwest corner of French
Avenue and 5th Street.
1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and is presently fenced with chain link
material. Site received a conditional use permit to display boats.
2. The property is a corner parcel that by definition includes two front yards, one on
French Avenue and one on 5th Street.
I Various chain link fences are located in the immediate area of the site in various
configurations and relationships to property lines.
4. Recommend that a dimensional variance of fifteen (15) feet rather than zero (0)
feet be granted in order that a ten foot wide landscape buffer from the right -of-
way in conformity with LDR standards and criteria be provided.
To date, the site has not been amended into the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City does not have an
annual comprehensive plan amendment process because there have been few requests to amend the
Future Land Use Plan Map. Per Joint Planning Agreement with Seminole County, the City has regulatory
jurisdiction immediately upon annexation. Usually when there is no desire to change the Future Land Use
Plan Map from a designation established by Seminole County, the City applies and regulates the property
according to County land use designation and equivalent City zoning district. Similarly annexed properties
(since 1994) will be incorporated into the City's Plan when the Evaluation and Appraisal Report is
adopted.
