MAY 10, 2021 AGENDA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
PREPARED BY: Eileen Hinson, AICP — Planning Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Norton N. Bonaparte, Jr., City Maria
SUBJECT: Future Land Use Amendment request to ame the Future Land use designation
from High Density Residential (HDR) to eneral Commercial (GC) for 2.3
acres from at 1200 Americana Boule d.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront
❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture
® Update Regulatory Framework
® Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities
SYNOPSIS:
A request to amend the future land use designation from High Density Residential (HDR) to General
Commercial (GC) for 2.3 acres, along with a concurrent application to rezone the property at 1200
Americana Boulevard has been received.
The property owner is Mayfair Club, LLC. The applicant is Zachary Miller, Miller Construction
Services, LLC. A modified CAPP process was conducted by the applicant. A copy of the CAPP report
is included with this memorandum.
The Affidavit of Ownership and Designation of Agent form is attached and additional information is
available in order to ensure that all potential conflicts of interest are capable of being discerned.
FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT:
According to the Property Appraiser's records, the subject property is vacant. Based on the 2020 property
tax roll, the subject property has a total assessed value of $350,658. The tax bill for 2020 was $0 given
it was government owned and tax exempt. The property owner is proposing to develop new non-
residential construction, which would generate additional tax revenue to the City.
No additional staffing is anticipated if the Future Land use amendment is approved.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant has submitted a request to amend the future land use map designation for the 2.3 acre
property from HDR, High Density Residential to GC, General Commercial, for the purpose of future
commercial development. The site is located at the east end of Americana Boulevard, north of where the
right of way ends at Logan Heights Apartments. On January 13, 2020, the City Commission ratified
Resolution No. 2827, declaring the property Surplus. The deed conveying the property from the City to
the current owner was executed in November of 2020.
Per the State's Growth Policy Act (Chapter 163 F.S.), any plan amendment shall discourage the
proliferation of urban sprawl. In order to determine that a plan amendment does not constitute urban
sprawl, the amendment must be analyzed as to whether it incorporates a development pattern or urban
form that achieves four or more of the following eight criteria:
1. Directs growth and development to areas of the community in a manner that does not adversely
impact natural resources;
2. Promotes the efficient and cost effective provision or extension of public infrastructure and services;
3. Promotes walkable and connected communities and provides for compact development and a mix of
uses at densities and intensities that support a range of housing choices and a multimodal
transportation system;
4. Promotes conservation of water and energy;
5. Preserves agricultural areas and activities;
6. Preserves open space and natural lands and provides for public open space and recreation needs;
7. Creates a balance of land uses based on demands of residential population for the nonresidential
needs of an area; and,
8. Provides uses, densities and intensities of use and urban form that would remediate an existing or
planned sprawl development pattern or provides for an innovative development pattern such as
transit oriented development or new towns.
The proposed amendment has been analyzed and found to promote the following criteria: 1, 2, 3, and 7.
• Criteria I — The subject site is not located within a well field protection zone or aquifer recharge
area.
• Criteria 2 — The proposed amendment is just east of other commercial development and a short
distance from various commercial businesses along Orlando Drive (US 17-92).
• Criteria 3 — The proposed development is within walking distance of other commercial
development and is also within walking distance of the Logan Heights Apartment Complex
pedestrian access gate.
• Criteria 7 — The General Commercial land use would afford the opportunity to provide
commercial uses instead of residential uses in a commercial area. The potential commercial
activities may provide usable services to the adjacent multiple family development. The Sanford
Seminole Center Lynx stop is located in the shopping center to the south adding a possible
location for utilization of public transportation. The additional land to be used for non-residential
uses will help strengthen the City's economic base and provide employment.
The applicant has provided a justification statement for the FLU Amendment and is attached to this
report. Staff has outlined additional Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOP's) that are also compatible with
the proposed amendment.
Goal FLU I Manage Land Use Distribution and Provision of Services and Facilities. The City shall
promote an orderly distribution of land uses in an economically, socially, and environmentally
acceptable manner while ensuring the adequate and timely provision of services and facilities to meet
the needs of the current and projected populations.
2
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Goal FLU 1 as it will help to ensure that land uses are
located in a rational and efficient manner andpromote economic development. The existing land use is
not the most viable for the site given its location and the trend of development leading to this site. The
proposed land use is more consistent with those readily accessible in the immediate vicinity.
Policy FLU 1.3.6: Designate General Commercial Development (GC). The General Commercial (GC)
areas are designated on the Future Land Use Map for purposes of accommodating community -oriented
retail sales and services; highway -oriented sales and services; and other general commercial activities.
Multifamily residential is encouraged as a secondary use to foster sustainable, mixed-use developments that
reduce vehicle miles traveled and support a walkable community.
The General Commercial designation generally shall be located in highly accessible areas adjacent to major
thoroughfares which possess necessary location, site, and market requirements. The maximum intensity of
General Commercial development measured as a floor area ratio is 0.50. All new development within
General Commercial designated areas shall be required to comply with performance criteria.
The proposed amendment is consistent with Objective FLU 1. 3.6 as it will allow for additional land to
be used for non-residential uses that will help strengthen the city's economic base and provide
employment.
Objective FLU 1.15 Prevent Proliferation of Urban Sprawl and Develop Efficient Systems for
Coordinating the Timing and Staging of Public and Private Development. The City shall continue
to enforce adopted LDRs which require that proposed land uses be adequately served by management,
solid waste disposal and hazardous waste management. The subdivision and site plan review processes
shall provide a unified system for coordinating the efficient location, timing, phasing, and scale of public
and private development. For example, in order to abate urban sprawl and maximize use of existing
infrastructure all new development shall be required to hook up to the existing central water and
wastewater system.
The development of the subject property will be subject to the City's Concurrency Management System
and Land Development Regulations.
A majority vote of the Planning and Zoning Commission is required to recommend approval, approval
with conditions or denial of this policy matter to the City Commission after a public hearing is conducted
to determine if the proposed land use change is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan and the State's Growth Policy Act and the current Joint Planning Agreement
with Seminole County.
At their regular April 1, 2021 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously
recommended (7-0) the City Commission approve the request to amend the Future Land use designation
from High Density Residential (HDR) to General Commercial (GC) for 2.3 acres at 1200 Americana
Boulevard. Zachary Miller recused himself as the applicant of record and the alternate member, Ashlee
Woodard, voted as the seventh member of the board.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed the staff report and has noted the following:
This matter is not a quasi-judicial matter as amendments to local government comprehensive plans are
legislative in nature. That being said, if a proposal to amend the City Comprehensive Plan is to be
31
recommended for denial, it would be appropriate to state the particular reason for such a recommendation
to be considered by the City Commission - such as the proposal is internally inconsistent with a goal,
objective or policy of the Comprehensive Plan or inconsistent with controlling State law or the like.
The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4602 on April 26, 2021.
The City Clerk posted notice of the 2nd Public Hearing in the Sanford Herald on April 28, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that the small scale amendment from HDR, High Density Residential to GC, General
Commercial is appropriate and suitable for the subject site and is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, does not represent urban sprawl and the City has available capacity to serve the increased demand
on available water and sewer.
Additional comments or recommendations may be presented by staff at the meeting.
