Page 1 of 2
Approval of a privately- initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will
restrict the nonresidential development intensity and residential density on properties within a newly
created Waterford Overlay District, located south of Linton Boulevard, east of I -95, to a maximum
nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.32 and a maximum residential density of 12 units per acre.
BACKGROUND
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2010 -1, adopted by the City Commission on December 14, 2010,
included a privately- initiated Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment and associated text
amendment for the subject property. The FLUM amendment changed the designation of the property
from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial), and the text amendment modified the
description of the General Commercial FLUM designation to limit the nonresidential development
intensity on the property to an FAR of 1.32. This maximum intensity was set to ensure that traffic
concurrency could be achieved on the property at its maximum development potential. No changes were
made to the residential potential of the property, so the maximum density will remain at 12 units per
acre.
The proposed LDR text amendment is required to support the changes to the Comprehensive Plan
adopted with Plan Amendment 2010 -1. Under the proposed text amendment, the following two changes
are being made:
• Article 4.5, "Overlay and Environmental Management Districts" of the Land Development
Regulations is being modified to create the new overlay district on the subject property. The
location of the overlay district is defined within the new Section 4.5.20, "Waterford Overlay
District ".
• Section 4.4.25, "Special Activities District (SAD) ", Subsection (E), "Supplemental District
Regulations" is being amended to add a new regulation restricting development within the

Waterford Overlay District to a maximum nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.32 and a
maximum residential density of 12 units per acre.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the item at its June 18, 2012 meeting and made a
recommendation of approval on a 4 -0 vote.
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve Ordinance No. 22 -12 on first reading for a privately- initiated amendment to the
Land Development Regulations to create Section 4.5.20, "Waterford Overlay District' and amend
Section 4.4.25 "Special Activities District (SAD) ", Subsection (E), "Supplemental District Regulations"
to limit the nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) within that overlay district to a maximum of 1.32 and
the residential density to a maximum of 12 units per acre, by adopting the findings of fact and law
contained in the staff report, and finding that the text amendment and approval thereof is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(NI).

"WATERFORD OVERLAY DISTRICT" AND AMEND SECTION 4.4.25
"SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DISTRICT (SAD) ", SUBSECTION (E),
"SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS" TO LIMIT THE FLOOR

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding a
privately- initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will restrict the
nonresidential development intensity and residential density on properties within a newly created
Waterford Overlay District, located south of Linton Boulevard, east of 1 -95, to a maximum
nonresidential FAR of 1.32 and a maximum residential density of 12 units per acre.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may
not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2010 -1, adopted by the City Commission on December 14,
2010, included a privately- initiated Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment and associated
text amendment for the subject property. The FLUM amendment changed the designation of the
property from TRN (Transitional) to GC (General Commercial), and the text amendment modified
the description of the General Commercial FLUM designation to limit the nonresidential
development intensity on the property to an FAR of 1.32. This maximum intensity was set to
ensure that traffic concurrency could be achieved on the property at its maximum development
potential. No changes were made to the residential potential of the property, so the maximum
density will remain at 12 units per acre.
The proposed LDR text amendment is required to support the changes to the Comprehensive Plan
adopted with Plan Amendment 2010 -1. Under the proposed text amendment, the following two
changes are being made:
• Article 4.5, "Overlay and Environmental Management Districts" of the Land Development
Regulations is being modified to create the new overlay district on the subject property. The
location of the overlay district is defined within the new Section 4.5.20, "Waterford Overlay
District'.
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, June 18, 2012
LDR Text Amendment - Waterford Overlay District
• Section 4.4.25, "Special Activities District (SAD) ", Subsection (E), "Supplemental District
Regulations" is being amended to add a new regulation restricting development within the
Waterford Overlay District to a maximum nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.32 and
a maximum residential density of 12 units per acre.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Comprehensive Plan Conformance
LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings) requires that the City Commission make a finding that the text
amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed text amendment implements the description of the General
Commercial Future Land Use Map designation in the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan stated as follows:
General Commercial. This designation is applied to land which is, or should be, developed for
general commercial purposes e.g. retail, office, services. Light industrial type uses such as
fabrication and assembly are permissible under this designation when located in the special
overlay district between Federal Highway and Dixie Highway, north of N.E. 14th Street to the north
City limit. A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 3.0 is permitted for nonresidential uses, except as
indicated within the following overlay districts:
• Four Corners Overlay District - For mixed -use development within this overlay district, the
nonresidential component is limited to an FAR of 2.0
• Silver Terrace Courtyards Overlay District - Nonresidential development is limited to an FAR of
0.75
• Lintco Development Overlay District - Nonresidential development is limited to an FAR of 0.36.
• Waterford Overlay District - Nonresidential development is limited to an FAR of 1.32.
Residential uses may comprise up to 15% of the total floor area of the General Commercial Land
Use designation. Residential uses are permitted either in conjunction with a commercial use, or as
a stand alone use subject to Conditional Use approval. Residential density is limited to a
maximum of 12 dwelling units per acre, except in Redevelopment Area #6 (Lindell /Federal
Highway) where residential densities may be allowed up to a maximum of 16 units per acre subject
to Conditional Use approval and the criteria outlined in the Redevelopment Plan for that area and
within the Silver Terrace Courtyards Overlay District where residential densities may be allowed up
to a maximum of 22 units per acre subject to Conditional Use approval. Areas with the General
Commercial designation, located within a workforce housing overlay district, may also exceed 12
units per acre up to a maximum of 30 units per acre within the Four Corners Overlay District and
18 units per acre within the infill workforce housing area, by obtaining density bonuses through the
provision of workforce housing units.
Pursuant to the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).
