The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request to Rezone from PD to PD, Planned Development and
the Master Plan for Gateway Plaza PD, located at 4591 W. 1st Street
on the south side of SR 46 between Oregon Avenue and Rinehart Road.
Owner: Harold G. Hartsock, Trustee; representative: Joel Ivey,
Ivey - Harris- Walls, Inc.
Mr. Joel Ivey of Ivey, Harris, and Walls, 122 E. Colonial Dr.,
Orlando, was present for representation. He stated that they are
requesting to change a PD to two PD's. He stated that he had read
staff's recommendations and concurs with them. The site consists
of 31.29 acres. Mr. Ivey stated that they are proposing to develop
retail space consistent with the County's Comp Plan and Zoning.
Mr. Dennison asked if he was taking an already PD and splitting it
into two parcels with separate ownership. Mr. Ivey stated that an
original PD Master Plan was approved in 1989. The Master Plan has
been changed to accommodate the design needs of the owner. The
changes reflect a new layout pattern and new ownership.
Mr. Dennison asked if the layout is considerably different. Mr.
Ivey stated that it is not considerably different. This site is
proposing to be retail. The access point has a little more
substance because of Towne Center Blvd. and Rinehart Road,
Mrs. Stairs questioned Item C on page 2 of staff's recommendations
as to whether it was within the jurisdiction of the Planning and
Zoning Commission to make a recommendation. She stated that it
seemed that the City Commission should hav6 addressed this. Mr.
Marder stated that this recommendation was something that was
approved at the time of the original approval. Mr. Speer asked if
the property is being used as agriculture now. Mr. Marder stated
"yes". He stated that with a typical zoning classification such as
general commercial, agriculture uses are not allowed, The owner
particularly requested to have the agricultural use clarified and
specifically placed this language into the City's approval for
assessment purposes. Mr. Ivey stated that when the original PD was
approved, there were cattle on the property. He stated that when
the owner filed for PD zoning, the zoning listed certain uses but
agriculture was not listed. The owner requested notation to
provide clarification of the agricultural use. Mr. Dennison asked

they have come back for a change which opens up everything. Mr.
Andersen stated that they are not asking for anything more nor
anything less. Mr. Ivey, one of the original planners, stated that
the 200' in the original approval was a flexibility issue. This
area was the place for high density growth and to market the
property, the height variance was requested. It is important and
it goes with the high density zoning. fir. Andersen stated that
they would like to keep the 200' height limitation. Mr. Marder
stated that he does recognize that high intensity development in
this area is appropriate.

monument sign. The second sign is a 22 square foot sign plus a 16
square feet read board proposed to be located on the northwest
corner of the property. City Codes include the air in the Golden
Arch sign. If the total signs are measured without the arches,
they will be close to 100 square feet.
Mr. Marder explained that the way signs are measured is by drawing
a parallelogram around the edges of a sign and the entire area is
the sign surface area. Staff's recommendation is generous because
it recommends an increase in detached sign footage from a total of
50 square feet to a total of up to 100 square feet with a maximum
of 50 square feet per detached sign rather than the requested 140
square feet. Joe Smiley, McDonalds Corp., stated that the
McDonalds sign at 17-92 and Lake Mary Blvd. is 105 square feet. He
noted that the square footage of sign surface is 22 Mr. Smiley
stated that if the Commission would allow 50 square feet per sign
then McDonalds Corp. would be happy, g
Regarding the parking, Mr. LeRoy noted that the Commission had
given Towne Center the exact variance and asked how many
handicapped spaces are required. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated two, which
would meet all codes.

Mr. Speer discussed some traffic concerns that he had regarding the
entrances and exits, especially the Maple Avenue exit. He noted
that there would be a lot of traffic and that this would be a close
situation not leaving much room for decision making. He asked the
applicant if there was a possibility of widening the Maple Avenue
access. Mr. Smiley of McDonalds Corp. stated that they would widen
the curbcut.

Firestone as to a fence or landscaping so people can't park in
Firestone parking lot. Mr. Khosravani stated that they are
proposing a raised curb with an access to the Firestone property.
Mr. LeRoy questioned the directional sign footage. Mr. Khosravani
stated that it is a small sign at the entrance directing traffic in

this size because of the limited life span of the sign. He stated
that with the smaller signs, people tend to run over them more
easily than with the requested sign size.
Mr Speer moved for approval stipulating that the six requests be
approved as requested except for Item 6. Signage is to be
increased from 50 square feet to 100 square feet, not to 140 square
feet, and to add Item 7, that the entrance and exit on Maple Avenue
be widened to 30 feet. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. Mr. Speer amended

configuration of the Maple Avenue access. Mr. Speer asked if there
was enough room to put a parking space on the retention land space.

did not see how they could add another parking space in this area.

F mn the Director of Planning and Development
March 31, 1994
TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of April 7, 1994
FAISON /HARDY & CALLAWAY - Request Planned Development Project Rezoning for
Gateway Planned Development master plan for property located at the southeast corner
of State Road 46 West and Towne Center Boulevard.
1. Site is Zoned PD, Planned Development and is presently a part of the Northgate
PD. Site is basically vacant at the present time. Site fronts State Road 46, a
major arterial, Towne Center Boulevard, a major collector (under construction)
and St. Johns Parkway, an undeveloped right -of -way on the southerly boundary
of site that is to be constructed in 1994.
2. As noted on the Gateway Plaza Master Plan dated March 16, 1994, the site is
31.29 acres. Note number 1. points out that "... to accommodate this property
split and to accommodate development objectives of the applicant, the former
Northgate P.D. must be amended (different ownership, fewer acres, and
modified uses)..." Specifically, the main objective of this rezoning procedure is
to avoid triggering a Development of Regional Impact review procedure. By
splitting the Northgate PD property into two separate ownerships, each property
will be less than 40 acres, a threshold for Development of Regional Impact
review. The major change between the original Northgate Master Plan and the
proposed Gateway Plaza and revised Northgate Master Plans regards the
elimination of multiple family and office /medical uses in favor of all commercial
land uses.
3. Concurrency and Facility Capacity Traffic generation between the two projects,
Gateway Plaza and Northgate PD (noted below) provide for the same cumulative
traffic generation as the original Northgate PD approval, i.e., 33,282 average trips
per day total. 18,971 ADT's are allocated to Gateway Plaza for up to 235,000
square feet of commercial development. All PD's such as Northgate were vested
when the City adopted concurrency management in 1992.
Other facilities and services required by the Gateway Plaza PD are available or,
in the case of drainage, required per regulation. City wastewater, potable water,
fire, police and solid waste services will be provided.
4. The proposed commercial uses are consistent with the Future Land Use Plan
Planning Recommendations - Page 1
Element of the Comprehensive Plan which reflects a designation of 1 -4 High
Intensity Development.
5. Recommend approval of the Gateway Plaza Planned Development based on
consistency with planned uses in the area. The following recommended
conditions and stipulations are consistent with those already in effect on the
property and are recommended to be attached as Exhibit "A" to the rezoning
ordinance for the Gateway Plaza PD.
a. The project shall be developed substantially in accordance with the
information, data, plans and commitments contained in the Master Plan
entitled "Gateway P.D., City of Sanford, Submitted For Planned
Development Approval, March 16, 1994" received by the City on March
17, 1994 and supplemental information unless otherwise directed by the
recommendations enumerated below and as may be amended from time
to time as provided by procedures set forth in the City's Land
Development Regulations.
b. A traffic circulation plan for the site shall be submitted with preliminary
subdivision plan. Such plan shall reflect internal circulation within the
overall site and as well as transportation requirements necessary to
provide adequate circulation in the immediate area and between adjacent
property.
Cross access points shall be placed between the Gateway Plaza PD and
the Northgate PD as generally reflected on the Master Plan. The
construction of cross access points across the M.M. Smith Canal, i.e.,
bridges between the two developments, shall be shared on a fifty -fifty cost
basis between the property owners of respective sides of the canal. Based
on build -out, the City shall decide when such facilities shall be
constructed and shall have the authority to require the construction of
same. Failure to cooperate and participate in this requirement shall
constitute a violation of the City's Land Development Regulations,
specifically, the Development Plan Approval Process, and shall be subject
to code enforcement procedures.
C. Agriculture shall be a permitted land use prior to development of any tract
or portion thereof. The term "agriculture" shall be as defined in the City
of Sanford Land Development Regulations.
ANDERSON /SEMINOLE FARMS TRUST IV PROPERTIES - Request Planned
Development Project Rezoning for Northgate Planned Development to amend the
master plan for property located at the southwest corner of State Road 46 West and
Rinehart Road.
1. Site is Zoned PD, Planned Development as set forth on the Northgate Master
Plan and includes various agricultural uses, a drainage retention area and
generally vacant land. The site generally includes the easterly 24.7 acres of the
existing Northgate Master Plan and fronts State Road 46, Rinehart Road and St.
Planning Recommendations - Page 2
Johns Parkway (proposed).
2. As noted on the Northgate Master Plan dated March 16, 1994, the site is 24.7
acres. Note number 1. points out that "... to accommodate this property split and
to accommodate development objectives of the applicant, the former Northgate
P.D. must be amended (different ownership, fewer acres, and modified uses)..."
Specifically, the main objective of this rezoning procedure is to avoid triggering
a Development of Regional Impact review procedure. By splitting the Northgate
PD property into two separate ownerships, each remaining property will be less
than 40 acres, a threshold for Development of Regional Impact review. The major
change between the original Northgate Master Plan and the revised Northgate
Master Plan regards the elimination of multiple family and office /medical uses in
favor of all commercial land uses.
3. Concurrency and Facility Capacity Traffic generation between the two projects,
Northgate PD and Gateway Plaza (noted above) provide for the same cumulative
traffic generation as the original Northgate PD approval, i.e., 33,282 average trips
per day total. 14,311 ADT's are allocated to the revised Northgate PD for up to
128,276 square feet of commercial development. All PD's such as Northgate
