Text Amendment: Policy 1-2.4.7: Protection from Noise Exposure The amendments to this policy ensure that the policy is consistent with the Orlando-Sanford International Airport's (OSIA) FAA-approved Puff. 150 ' - Noise and Land Use Compatibility program, recently updated by OSIA and with Seminole County's policies for noise abatement. Map 1-/3 is new and depicts the area where avigation easements are required. The proposed amendment is consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. B. Future Land Use Map Amendment Exhibit A is a map depicting the existing future land use designations of the amendment sites and the City in general. Exhibit B is the future land use map oftbe entire City as approved by the City Cormmssion on April 11, 2005. An individual map of each site depicts the future land use designation as approved by the City Commission on April l 1, 2005. 1. General Comment on Public Facilities: In general, the public facilities of water and sewer are all within the City of Sanford Service Area per interlocal agreement with Seminole County. Therefore, all of the City's and County's water and sewer facilities planning are based on similar data, inventory and analysis. There is an underlying assumption that the water and sewer infrastructure will be served by the City of Sanford in the Sanford Urban Planning Area. This assumption has been in effect since the Joint Planning Agreement of 1991 and is incorporated in the City and County plans. When a future land use designation is proposed to change, the impacts of the change are based on the impact of the maximum development that is allowed to occur in the new future land use designation minus the maximum impacts of development under the existing future land use designation. 2. Transportation: The City of Sanford provides funding to, and participates in, the regional transportation modeling process by Metroplan Orlando (the MPO for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties). Seminole County performs transportation modehng for the area that includes Sanford. Therefore, the City has no need to conduct independent traffic analyses. Our traffic impact review of specific plan amendment sites is based upon data, inventory and analysis that are compiled through the Metroplan Orlando transportation modeling. The future land use data upon which the Metroplan analysis is based reflects existing and future land use planning data from the City of Sanford. That information is compiled by Seminole County with input from the seven cities within the county. Sanford's Traffic Circulation Plan Element and the City's analysis of individual sites incorporates traffic analysis that reflects future development for the entire Sanford area including the unincorporated area around the City, much of which is subject to annexation. Traffic projections are based on modeling by Seminole County and Metroplan Orlando. Therefore, with regard to the future land use plan map amendment sites, unless the proposed future land use designation is different than the Seminole County Future Land Use Plan Map Designation, there would be no significant change to traffic impact. There is only one map amendment included in this comprehensive plan amendment package that will increase impacts on public facilities. The maximum impact of the amendment upon facilities and services is identified in Tables 2 and 3. Service and Facilities Impacts were evaluated by subtracting the impacts on Page 5 FfiSHA_EaNG~Comp Plan~CPA2005\lst Amendment~opiComp Plan & DL~doc water, sewer, solid waste, parks and traffic of the maximum amount of development in the existing future land use designation from the impact of the maximum amount of development in the proposed designation. 3. Needs Assessment and Compatibility of proposed amendments with objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan: Site 8, This .28-acre site contains a single family residence and is served by all public facilities and services. The site has recently been annexed into the City. Under the jurisdiction of Seminole County, the site was located within the Medium Density Residential (MDR) future land use designation. The City is proposing that the site be included in the contiguous Low Density Residential - Single Family (LDR-SF) designation. This reduces the density on the site from two units to one unit. While both the MDR and the LDR-SF designations are appropriate for the site, the LDR-SF designation is the only designation in the City that is adjacent to the site. In addition, the surrounding area is predominantly single family residential units and vacant lots and thus the proposed future land use designation and its allowable uses are compatible with surrounding land use designations as well as with the preferred growth and development pattern of the City. The amendment will not alter acceptable existing land use patterns or adversely affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of the residents. This map amendment is consistent with Pohcy 1-1.1.1 and with Policy 1-2.1.2: Low Density Residential Single Fmmly Development CLDR-SF) both of which require that development be compatible with the quality and character of existing low density single family neighborhoods . It is also compatible with the criteria for map amendments in Policy 1-3.2.1: Future Land Use Map and Related Policies, in particularly with the directive that the proposed future land use designation and its allowable uses be compatible with surrounding land use designations and with the preferred growth and development pattern of the City as evidenced by land use policies in the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment is compatible with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, F.S.), the Growth Pohcy Act (Chapter 163 F.S.) and with Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code. Site 11. This site contains 2.4 acres and is located on one of Sanford's oldest residential streets. The proposed amendment changes the designation of the site from the General Commercial (GC) and Residential, Office, Institutional (ROI) future land use designations to the Low Density Residential - Single Family (LDR-SF) designation. The site is located in a residential neighborhood that includes Sanford's residential historic disthct. To the south, a small pocket of conunercial development exists adjacent to SR 46. This site was originally intended for commercial development. However, Sanford has strict buffer regulations to ensure land use compatibility which make the site difficult to development for commercial purposes. In addition, there has been a change in the character of the area with local residents desiring to enhance the quality of residential environments and to strengthen residential neighborhoods by protecting them from inconsistent uses. Since most of the surrounding neighborhood is residential, it is logical to extend the residential designation to this site. Public facilities are adequate to serve the proposed development of this site. In addition, according to the Soil Survey of Seminole County (1990) soils on the site are classified as urban land (34) indicating that the surrounding area is highly urban with large impermeable surface areas. The amendment is consistent with the following objectives and policies of the Sanford Comprehensive Plan: Page 6 Objective 1-1.l: Plan And Design For Residential Quality. The City of Sanford shall continue to enforce land development regulations with performance criteria and a zoning map designed to provide sufficient space for residential development and required community facilities to adequately meet the housing needs of the present and expected future population. Residential development shall be planned and designed to create and perpetuate stable residential neighborhoods and implement policies stipulated below. The proposed amendment will permit residential uses that are compatible with the surrounding residential development. Commercial uses in this area increase traffic and noise and can be dismptive to the neighborhood. Maintaining the residential character of the area will ensure a stabile residential neighborhood. Policy 1-2. 1.2: Low Density Residential Single Family Development (LDR-SF). The areas delineated for "low density" residential single family development shall include existing stable single family areas as well as those areas which have been selected for future low density residential single family development in order to provide sufficient land area to meet projected single family housing needs for low density development. The amendment is compatible with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, F.S.), the Growth Policy Act (Chapter 163 F.S.) and with Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code. Impacts of the amendment are based on the fact that one acre of the site is in the commercial future land use designation and 1.4 acres are in the ROI designation. The commercial designation allows a floor area ratio of .35 for commercial uses. The ROI designation allows a density of 20 units per acre and/or a floor area ratio of .35 for office uses. Site 13. Background: The site is located between Art Lane and Sterling Pines Street to the north of Lake Mary Boulevard. The total site contains 23.4 acres. However, the site contains two lakes totaling 9.45 acres which will remain in the Conservation Future Land Use Designation. The applicant proposes to amend the future land use designation of 13.95 acres from Public/Semipublic (PSP), Resource Protection and Low Density Residential - Single Family (LDR-SF) to Medium Density Residential - 10 (MDR-10) in order to construct 132 townhomes. The property is bordered by single family homes on the north, west and east. A new townhome development has been approved for property to the south. An apartment complex is located on Sterling Pines Street to the southwest. The development will take its access from Sterling Pines Street. A .79-acre wetland will be filled in order to provide access to the site from Sterling Pines Street. Pursuant to Comprehensive Plan Policy 5-1.8.1, Managing the Impacts of Development on Aquatic Habitats, destruction of wetlands may be permitted if 'such activities are not contrary to the public interest and there is no practical alternative which reduces or avoids impacts to wetlands or deepwater habitats. Unavoidable losses of viable wetlands shall be mitigated through the demonstrably successful restoration, creation or preservation of wetlands whose functional values are at least comparable to those of the wetlands lost.' The applicant is proposing mitigation on the northern portion of the site. The applicant has submitted a report from Bio-Tech Consulting (attached) regarding the low quality of the wetlands. Consistency with Criteria for Map Amendments: · The amendment shall be consistent with all elements of the City of Sanford Comprehensive Plan: Page 7 FAS HA_ENOComp P!aa~ePA2005~lst ~ Plan &DIA. doc The proposed amendment is consistent with the following obiectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive plak.n: For Residential Quality.

The proposed project avoids development of environmentally sensitive lands and instead proposes the redevelopment of an unused school site which has services and resources in place to accommodate the development. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Policy Act and furthers Chapter 163.3180, Concurrency, because sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, transportation and parks and recreational facilities are in place and available to serve the development. The project is also served by a LYNX bus route than runs along Lake Mary Boulevard. · The amendment shall be consistent with Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code: The proposed development is consistent with the concurrency standards of Rule 9J-5. All facilities are in place and operating at acceptable levels of service in the area of the proposed amendment. The proposed amendment is also consistent with 9I-5's requirements [or compatibility of adjacent land uses in that it provides a transition land use from low density residential uses to higher density residential uses and commercial uses. The proposed amendment does not create urban sprawl according to the indicators listed in 9-J5. The density of the project is medium density. It is located in an urban area with an established mix of commercial, public and residential uses. All properties surrounding the site am developed or have comnutted development. Public facilities are in place to support the proposed development. The site is easily accessible to an arterial road and a bus route. · Publicfa¢ilitiesandservicesshallbeavailablee°neurrentwithdevel°pment°fthesite: The proposed development is located in an urban area adjacent to an arterial road, Lake Mary Boulevard. The immediate vicinity is well-developed with a community college, a shopping center and numerous small businesses as well as many residential developments. All facilities and services are in place in this area, including water, sewer, parks, solid waste disposal and public transportation. · There have been changes in population, land use or economic development trends and/or projeetions that warrant a change in the future land use designation: The current land use designations that will be amended are public/semipublic and LDR-SF. A private school used to be located on a part of the site but has been closed for many years. The public/semipublic designation accommodated the school. The PSP designation, with its limited uses, makes it difficult to redevelop the site for any use that is appropriate to the surrounding area. The MDR-10 designation acts as a buffer between the single family uses to the north and east and the higher density uses to the southwest. It is also a good transitional designation between the more commercial properties on Lake Mary Boulevard and the single family residential designations. Page 9 FSSHA_ElslG'~x~np p~nkCPA2005\lst ~6adopiComp Plan & DIA.doc ~ · Therehavebeensufficientchangesinthecharacterofthearea°radjacentlandst°warrantadifferent land use designation: This has always been an area with a variety of residential land use designations. The adjacent land to the south has recently been approved for town houses and, through a small scale amendment, the land use designation has been changed from single family residential to MDR-10. Property to the south west is designated MDR-15 and contains rental apartments. The existing PSP designation, while not inconsistent with the surrounding land use designations, is not as compatible as the proposed residential designation. The character of the area has not changed but infill development has become increasingly attractive throughout the City and the applicant has seized the opportunity to develop an unoccupied piece of property in a highly developed area. · The proposed future land use designation and its allowable uses are compatible with surrounding land use designations and with the preferred growth and development pattern of the City as evidenced by land use policies in the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will not significantly alter acceptable existing land use patterns or adversely affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of the residents: The proposed future land use designation is consistent with the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixture of residential land use types, including apartments, townhomes and single-family residences and commercial development. The proposed residential designation is more consistent than the existing designation of PSP. · The capability of the land to support development allowed under the proposed future land use designation as evidenced by the presence or absence on the site of soil types suituble for development, vegetative habitats, wetlands, wetland protection zones or flood-prone areas, well field protection zones, wildlife habitats, archaeological, historical or cultural resources: According to the preliminary site plan, there is no development in flood-prone areas or wetland protection zones surrounding the lakes. The site does not contain well field protection areas or archaeological or historical resources. The attached environmental assessment prepared by Bio-Tech Consulting describes soils, vegetative communities and presence of protected flora and fauna on the site. Eight inactive gopher tortoise burrows were observed on the site. The developer will have to comply with one of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's options for the preservation of the gopher tortoise prior to any site construction. No other protected species were observed. The applicant is proposing to fill a small wetland on the southwest side of the site and to mitigate for the filling on-site in the northwest portion of the site. This wetland has been evaluated by Bio-Tech Consulting, Inc., which found that: the ecological value of this wetland has been significantly limited by the residential development and road improvements to the west and north, the power line easement and substation to the south, and the previous landfill operation to the east. These activities have negatively influenced the hydrology of the wetland, as well as directly impacted the majority of the edges of the system. Those impacts (i.e. dredge, fill, dumping, etc.) in Page 10 F:xSHA_ENGxComp Plan~CPA2005klst Amcndm~mt~adoptComp plan & DIA.dc~ conjunction with the altered hydrology, have lead to the establishment and spread of nuisance and exotic vegetation. Currently, this wetland would score a Wetland Significance Rating of LOW per the Seminole County Wetlands Field Guide and would fall in the NOT PRESENT to MINIMAL range per the State of Florida's Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method. This wetland should not be considered significant, as it possess only nominal ecological value.

COHEN. AIA Secretary The Honorable Linda Kuhn, Mayor Department of Planning and Community Development P.O.Box 1788 Sanford FL, 32772 Dear Mayor Kuhn: The Department of Community Affairs has completed its review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment for City of Sanford (DCA 05-1), which was received April 20, 2005. Based on Chapter 163, Florida Statues, we have prepared the attached report that outlines our findings concerning the amendments. It is especially pertinent that the City address the objections set forth in our review so that the identified issues can be successfully resolved prior to adoption. We have also included a copy of the local, regional and state agency comments for your consideration. Within the next 60 days, the City should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with changes or not to adopt the proposed amendments. For your assistance, our report outlines procedures for final adoption and transmittal. The C' ' lty s proposed Amendment 05-1 consists of 21 Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendments and one text amendment. The 2 l map changes total 258 acres, involving annexation and land. use. trends. The text amendment Policy 1-2.47 revises The Future Land Use Element to ensure mat the policy is consistent with the OSIA-FAA-approved Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility program as well as adds Exhibit Map 1-13 to the future land use series. The Department has identified concerns with one of the proposed amendments. The proposed map amendment is not supported by an adequate transportation analysis demonstrating that the adopted level of service on affected state roadways, are not impacted by this development. This issue needs to be addressed prior to adoption of the plan amendment. 2555 SHUMARD OAK BOULEVARD TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399-2100 Phone: 850*488.8466/Suncom 278.8466 FAX: 850-921.0781/Suncom 291.0781 Inlernet address: ht--~.P_l ://WWw.dca.s[~e fi.us .... ~ 4~=~ ~numard Oak 8o~ev~-cl 2555 SflU~rd Oek 8oule~er¢ The Honorable Linda Kuhn, Mayor June 15, 2005 Pa~e Two "The Department looks forward to working with the Citv of S objections.

INTRODUCTION The. following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's ~vlew of City of Sanford's proposed amendment to their comprehensive plan (DCA, number 0S- pursuant to Chapter 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-$, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 1153, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited obiect/on. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objec-tions may have initially been raised by one of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference between the Department's objection and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection wOuld take precedence. Each of these objections must be addressed by the local government and corrected when the amend, mant is res.ubm, itted for our compliance review. Objections, which are not addressed, may re.sul! m a .de. re .r~mat,on t.hat the amendment is not in compliance. The De artme raises an oojectlon regarding missing data and analysis items, which the lo considers not cpa~1 goevnetrn~mnaeYn~aVe applicable to its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying its non- applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a determination on the non-applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered addressed. The comments, which follow the objections and recommendations section, are adv nature Comments will not form bases of a determin -' - isory in to call' auon olnon-compliance. They are included attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in' nhture dealing with grammar, organization, mapping, and reader comprehension. Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other state review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These comments are advisory to the Department and may not form bases of Departmental objections unless they appear under the Objecttons heading in this report. OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS FOR CITY of SANFORD AMENDMENT 05~1 OBJECTIONS The Department identifies the following 9bjection to the following proposed amendment Transportation Analysis (Site 21): The City did not include adequate data and analysis for the roadways in the vicinity &the proposed site demonstrating the availability of adequate transportation facilities. The proposed amendment will generate an additional 7,713 trips on roadways US 17/92, between Lake Mary Boulevard and Airport Boulevard as well as between SR 46 and SR 415, which according to City transportation analysis are already operating at level of service standard (LOS) F. Furthermore, traffic analysis did not identify the impacts to all segments of SR 15/600 (US 17-92); and SR 46, SR 415 and SR 419 in the vicinity of the site which are currently over capacity. The proposed amendment has not demonstrated consistency with the public facilities provisions (goals, objectives, and policies) of the Future Land Use Element Goal 1-3.1 and Policy 1 ~3.7.1, Capital Improvements Element Objective 8-1.4 and Policy 8-1.4. 1., and Transportation Element Issue Policy 2-1.1.5. Sections 163.3177 (2); 163.3177 (3a and c); 163.3177 (6a and j) F.S. Rules 9J-5.006(2)(a);Rule 9J-5.019(3)(d) and (3)(0, Rules 9J-5.006, Rules 9J-5.006 (3)(b)(1) and (3)(c) and (3)(0, F.A.C. R_ eecommendation: Revise the amendment to include detailed transportation data and analysis, cond. ucted based on'the maximum development proposed for the site, at the adopted level of servme standard for SR 15/600, SR 46, SR 415 and SR 419. The data and analYsis should identify the short and long term facility needs and demonstrate that the City will be able to maintain the adopted level of service on the identified roadways in the vicinity of the site. The transportation impact analysis should indicate if there is adequate roadway capacity to serve the current daily trips as well as the potential daily trips generated by the proposed development. Alternatively, do.not adopt the amendment. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE CONIPREHENSIVE PLAN ~ The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 05-1 is not consistent with and does not further the following provisions of the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes) for the reasons noted in the objections raised above in Section I: (a) Goal 17.a (Public Facilities); Policy 17.b.7; (b) Goal 19.a (Transportation); Policies 19.b.2, 19.b.3, 19.b.9, 19.b. 13, and 19.b. 15; (g) Goal 25.a (Plan Implementation); Policy 25.b.7. .Recommendation: Revise the plan amendment as recommended for the objections raised above in Section I.
