FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT: There is no fiscal impact. However, by maintaining a responsive and current (in terms of controlling law) set of LDRs protects the City by virtue of reduced controversies due to ambiguity in application or interpretation, litigation, and the resulting loss of staff time and other City resources. BACKGROUND: Schedule "S" of the City's LDRs is one of the schedules being implemented under the zoning in progress status in order that the City could make well -thought and rational revisions to address procedural and substantive changes. The majority of the proposed revisions are to eliminate duplicated or conflicting language, to eliminate sections covered by other city codes, and update procedures. Revisions of note: • Itemized list of scope of work for administrative review (minor reviews) is deleted. Instead this will be addressed by resolution. • Per an Historic Preservation Board (HPB) work session discussion, the paint section has been revised and criteria included to review Certificate of Appropriateness (COAs) for murals. • "Steel" has been added as acceptable garage doors material. • The sign section has been deleted from Schedule "S" of the City's LDRs and moved (with no revisions) to Schedule "K" of the City's LDRs. • Downtown parking requirements are deleted from Schedule "S" of the City's LDRs, but will be included, after revisions, in another schedule of the City's LDRs. LEGAL, REVIEW: The Assistant City Attorney has assisted in the drafting of Ordinance No.4588, but the draft may require additional drafting efforts. The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4588 on January 25, 2021. The City Clerk published notice of the 2nd Public Hearing in the Sanford Herald on February 7, 2021.

In considering an application for a COA, the HPB shall adhere to the standards contained in this Section. The purpose of these design standards is to ensure that all maintenance, alterations, and additions to structures in a historic district or to an historic landmark are accomplished is in accordance with the character of the landmark or district. The design standards also ensure that new construction on the property of an historic landmark or within a historic district is in accordance with the character of the landmark or district, . ....... .. WWAT 9W. 191I-W&T.-ramm - M". .......... A. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation are basic principles created by the National Park Service to help preserve the distinctive character of a historic building and its site, while allowing for reasonable change to meet new needs. These standards shall apply to all historic landmarks and contributing and non-contributing buildings within a deSigRatedhistoric district. The standards shall apply to the exterior of historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials, and sizes and shall also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. The standards are applied to projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility. 1 A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 351 P a g e 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. B. Architectural styles. Any alteration to an existing historic landmark or a structure within a historic district shall be consistent with its architectural style. Alterations to non-contributing structures within historic districts shall also be consistent with its style, if the style can be determined based on the style descriptions included in this Section. Appendix A shows th GhaFaGteFiStiGS of the styles found in the City-. C. General standards for all properties. In order to ensure compliance with the Secretary of Interior Standards, the detailed standards contained in the following sections have been established to assist property owners and the HPB when designing/reviewing alterations to lGGaI historic landmarks or to existing structures within the Gity'S IGGal historic districts. The standards Gf SGhedule S shall apply te all hwStGFiG landFnarksi and all pFoperties within a designated hiStE)FiG diStFiGt unless otherwise stated withiR the Fegulatien6.

Relocating a building is a last resort to avoid demolition. Relocated buildings shall be situated on the site in the same orientation as the original location. The relocation of historic landmarks and contributing buildings require the approval of a COA by the HPB. When reviewing such applications, the HPB shall consider the following criteria: 1 . Whether the historic character and aesthetic interest of the building, structure, or object contributes to its present setting; 2. Whether there are definite plans for the area to be vacated and the effect of those plans on the character of the surrounding area; 3. Whether the building, structure, or object can be moved without significant damage to its physical integrity; and 4. Whether the proposed relocation area is compatible with the historical and architectural character of the building, structure or object. Applications for relocation shall be submitted at least 10 City business days prior to the HPB meeting, and the site of the subject structure shall be posted for at least 10 consecutive days prior to the HPB meeting. Section 11.0. - Ordinary maintenance. The purpose of this Section is to establish minimum standards for the maintenance of historic landmarks and properties within established historic districts. A. Required maintenance. It is prohibited and unlawful for the The owner of a structure within a historic district or of a historic designated landmark or to shall no permit such structure or landmark to fall into a state of disrepair which may result in the deterioration of any exterior appurtenance or architectural feature so as to produce or to tend to produce, as found by in the judgment of the HPB based upon the criteria set forth herein, a detrimental effect upon the character of the historic district as a whole or the life and character of the historic landmark or structure iR question including, but not limited to: 1. The deterioration of exterior walls or other vertical supports; 2. The deterioration of roofs or other horizontal members; 3. The deterioration of exterior chimneys; 4. The deterioration or crumbling of exterior plaster or mortar; 5. The ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roofs, and foundations, including broken windows or doors; 6. The deterioration of any feature so as to create or permit the creation of any hazardous or unsafe condition(o; 7. The deterioration of any architectural feature which contributes to the architectural or historic significance and/or integrity of the structure; 8. The deterioration of exterior appurtenances. Nothing in this Schedule shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior feature of a structure located in an historic district or of any historic landmark which does not involve a change in design, material, color, or other appearance thereof. Nothing in this Schedule shall prevent the construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration or demolition that is certified in writing by the Building Official to the Historic Preservation Officer to be Gf any 6UGh feature WhiGh the building inspeGtOF oF simila offid-al shall GeFtify required to protect by the public, health safety or welfare or because of an unsafe or dangerous condition exists B. Standards for building maintenance. * The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means practicable. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that could damage the historic building materials such as the use of any abrasive, corrosive, or damaging techniques which include blasting with pulverized materials, glass beads or other solids, with or without water is prohibited and unlawful. * Abrasive cleaning or paint removal is another threat to historic wooden siding which is prohibited and unlawful. The proper method for removing paint is cleaning, light scraping and sanding down to the next sound layer. If more intensive paint removal is required, the gentlest means practicable shall be used. Harsh abrasive methods such as rotary sanding discs, rotary wires strippers, and sandblasting shall not be used to remove paint from exterior wood. Such methods leave visible circular depressions in the wood; shred the wood, or erode the soft, porous fibers of the wood, leaving a permanently pitted surface. 0 Paint removal is permitted, but it is prohibited and unlawful to must RE) leave behind any evidence of methods used. This includes wood damage, gouging or grinding marks left by mechanical tools, burns left by chemicals or burns left by heat sources. Additionally, paint removal processes that put the structure as a whole or in part in danger aFe foFbidd including, but not limited to, torches and heat guns are prohibited and unlawful. Debris from paint removal shall be collected and disposed of in accordance with federal guidelines. �Clean wood using the gentlest means possible. Repair trim and siding before applying paint. Seal holes, caulk cracks, and treat for wood fungus. Remove loose paint using commercial strippers, electric heat guns or plates, wire brushes and scrapers. Hand sand to reduce paint layer differential. 0 While masonry is the most durable historic building material, the cleaning of historic masonry is a special consideration because it is susceptible to damage by improper maintenance or repair techniques and abrasive cleaning methods. Sandblasting and other abrasive cleaning methods are not permitted. Sandblasting changes the visual qualities of brick damages and destroys the exterior glazing. As a result, rapid deterioration of the brick and potential water damage to the interior of the building are possibilities. It is prohibited and unlawful to fail to use the following techniques when maintaining historic structures: 0 Masonry shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or remove heavy soiling. 67 1 0, a g-, e • Clean masonry surfaces with the gentlest method possible, such as water and detergents and bristle brushes. • Sandblasting of brick or stl surfaces using dry or wet grit or other abrasives is prohibited. Such methods of cleaning permanently erode the surface of the material and accelerate deterioration. • Remove damaged or deteriorated paint only to the next sound layer using hand scraping prior to repainting. • Paint historically unpainted masonry only if it has been previously painted or as a protective measure to prevent further deterioration caused by poor quality materials prior to abrasive cleaning. • Treat mortar joint deterioration from leaking roofs or gutters and differential settlement of the building. • Evaluate the overall condition of the masonry to determine whether repairs rather than protection and maintenance are required. • Protect leaking roof with plywood and building paper until it can be properly repaired. • Protect and maintain masonry by providing proper drainage so that water does not stand on flat, horizontal surfaces or accumulate in curved decorative features.

The ADA extends comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities. The City has a commitment to adherence to and compliance with the ADA. Historic properties, including buildings, sites and landscapes, are not exempt from the ADA and must comply with its regulations in accordance with the requirements of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. Historic properties often can be made accessible while preserving their architectural character through careful planning and sensitive design. A 3 -step approach is recommended to identify and implement accessibility modifications that will protect the integrity and historic character of historic properties: 1. Review the historical significance of the property and identify character -defining features. Thoroughly inspect and evaluate the 78 1 character defining features, materials and spaces of a property before upgrading it for handicap accessibility. Significant materials, the form and style of the property, the principal elevations, major architectural and landscape features and the principal public spaces shall be the items identified for preservation. 2. Assess the property's existing and required level of accessibility. While inspecting a property, features, materials, and spaces of less significance to the historic character of the property shall also be identified. Non-significant spaces, secondary pathways, additions, previous altered areas, utilitarian spaces, and service areas can usually be modified without threatening or destroying a property's historical significance. 3. Evaluate accessibility options within a preservation context. Modifications for handicap accessibility shall be compatible with the property. They shall be in scale with the property, visually compatible in terms of their design and materials, but be differentiated from the original. They shall be reversible so that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the property would be unimpaired. Congress recognized the national interest in preserving historic properties when it enacted the ADA. Congress established alternative minimum requirements for qualified historic properties that cannot physically be made accessible without threatening or destroying their significance. Modifications for handicap accessibility shall be compatible with the property and reversible. They shall be in scale with the property, visually compatible in terms of their design and materials, but be differentiated from the original. They shall be reversible so that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the property would be unimpaired. Properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and those designated under State or local law are qualified historic properties. Owners of qualified historic properties must first consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) before using the alternative minimum requirements. If the SHPO determines that compliance with the full accessibility requirements would threaten or destroy the significance of a building or facility, the following alternative minimum requirements may be used: * 1 accessible route must be provided from a site access point to an accessible entrance. Using a ramp with a 1 to 6 (1:6) slope is permissible for a run of up to 2 feet. 01 accessible entrance must be provided. If it is not possible to make the public entrance accessible, then an alternative, unlocked entrance is 79 a o, e acceptable. Directional signage at the primary entrance and a notification system at the accessible entrance must be provided. • If toilets are provided, only 1 must be accessible, and it may be unisex. • Public spaces on the level of the accessible entrance must be accessible, and other public levels shall be accessible whenever practicable. • Displays and written information shall be located where a seated person can see them. Horizontal signage shall be no higher than 44 inches above the floor. In limited circumstances, if it is determined in consultation with the SHPO that compliance with the alternative minimum requirements would also threaten or destroy the significance of a historic building, alternative methods of access may be used. The alternative methods of accessibility that may be used to make a buildings program and activities accessible include: • Using audio-visual materials and devices to show inaccessible areas of a historic property. • Assigning persons to guide individuals with disabilities into or through inaccessible areas of a historic property. • Adopting other innovative methods.

If the application is deficient, the applicant has 30 days to address the deficiencies by submitting the required additional information. Within 120 days after the municipality has deemed the application complete, or 180 days for applications that require final action through a quasi- judicial hearing or a public hearing, the municipality must approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application for a development permit or development order. Both parties may agree to a reasonable request for an extension of time, particularly in the event of a force majeure or other extraordinary circumstance. An approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application for a development permit or development order must include written findings supporting the municipality's decision. The timeframes contained in this subsection do not apply in an area of critical state concern, as designated in s. 380.0552 or chapter 28-36, Florida Administrative Code. (2) When reviewing an application for a development permit or development order that is certified by a professional listed in s. 403.0877, a municipality may not request additional information from the applicant more than three times, unless the applicant waives the limitation in writing. Before a third request for additional information, the applicant must be offered a meeting to attempt to resolve outstanding issues. Except as provided in subsection (5), if the applicant believes the request for additional information is not authorized by ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority, the municipality, at the applicant's request, shall proceed to process the application for approval or denial. (3) When a municipality denies an application for a development permit or development order, the municipality shall give written notice to the applicant. The notice must include a citation to the applicable portions of an ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority for the denial of the permit or order. (4) As used in this section, the terms "development permit" and "development order" have the same meaning as in s. 163.3164, but do not include building permits. (5) For any development permit application filed with the municipality after July 1, 2012, a municipality may not require as a condition of processing or issuing a development permit or development order that an applicant obtain a permit or approval from any state or federal agency unless the agency has issued a final agency action that denies the federal or state permit before the municipal action on the local development permit. (6) Issuance of a development permit or development order by a municipality does not create any right on the part of an applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of the municipality for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law.
