Public Hearing Items:

Request for Continuance to the April 1, 2026 P&Z meeting

Sandy Lane Homes Rezone - Consider a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) and R-1AA

(Single-Family Dwelling) to MM (Missing Middle) for a proposed single family residential

development of twenty-four (24) lots on approximately 7.54 acres located on the west

side of Sandy Ln, south of Sand Lake Rd; (Z2025-014) (Giovanni Jordan, Jordan

Homes, Applicant) District 3 - Constantine (Kaitlyn Apgar, Senior Planner)

Kaitlyn Apgar, Senior Planner, stated that the applicant is requesting a continuance of

this item to the April 1, 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Staff has no

objections to their request.

Larry Jordan, with Jordan Homes, for the applicant, stated that he still has some things

that he’s working on and requests the continuance.

The Chairman asked the audience (by show of hands) how many were present to

speak on the item. She further stated that the applicant is requesting a continuance

and it is unlikely that the Board will have a vote tonight. She asked the audience if

anyone cannot make the next meeting on April 1, 2026, she will allow them to speak

tonight, providing the applicant has no objections.

Mr. Jordan, for the applicant, stated that he spoke to the Homeowner’s Association and

he explained that this meeting would be cancelled (continued) tonight, but everyone

here decided to come out tonight. He stated that he had no objections if anyone

wanted to speak at tonight's meeting.

No one spoke in favor of the request.

One person from the audience wished to speak in opposition to the project:

1. Marlene Alderman, of Longwood, stated that she was opposed to the project

because there is currently too much traffic on Sand Lane Road. There isn't a

traffic light on her street and she is directly across from Forest Lake Elementary

School. There are three (3) schools on Sand Lake Road. During school hours,

an Office directs traffic, and she still has hard time trying to leave her street.

They are currently bombarded by all of the school traffic, as well as several

churches on Sand Lake Road. The added traffic with this development is her

primary concern and objects to the proposed project.

No one else from the audience made public comments. Comment cards received from

the audience participants opposed to the project, included the following (alpha order):

Rock Church Special Exception - Consider a Special Exception to allow the use of a

Church and Daycare in the A-1 (Agriculture) zoning district on approximately 10.62

acres, located on the south side of W SR 46, west of Orange Blvd; (BS2025-14);

(Maverick VonHerbulis, McKee Construction, Applicant); District 5 - Herr; (Kaitlyn

Apgar, Senior Planner).

Kaitlyn Apgar, Senior Planner, presented this item as stated in the Staff report. She

further stated that the property has a Future Land Use of Suburban Estates and a

zoning designation of A-1 (Agricultural). The property is located within the Wekiva River

Protection Area, the East Lake Sylvan Transitional Area, the West SR 46 Scenic

Corridor Overlay District, and the Aquifer Recharge Overlay. The site has operated as

a church since 2007 with a school component that was granted via a Special Exception

in 2016, with a condition of approval that the private school should not exceed 150

students. The proposed daycare requires approval of a Special Exception in the A-1

zoning district. Per the Land Development Code (LDC) update of 2024, civic assembly

uses now requires Special Exception approval as opposed to prior versions of the

Code. Thus, the expansion of assembly space and daycare requires approval of a new

Special Exception. The current request is for the construction of a new assembly

building, addition of classrooms, and the addition of a daycare component to the

existing private school. The proposed new 14,519 sq. ft. assembly building will have a

seating capacity of 330 chairs and additional office rooms. The project also includes

renovation of the existing 11,670 sq. ft. building to accommodate the additional

classroom/daycare and office spaces. The proposed development is consistent with

the Special Exception criteria as stated in the staff report. As a summary, the proposed

addition of daycare and assembly space is intended to serve the surrounding

residential population. The existing church functions as a transitional buffer between

major arterial roads SR 46/SR 429 and the residential neighborhood. The applicant has

demonstrated adequate buffering and increased separation distance for proposed

structures in order to meet compatibility with the surrounding area. A private school and

daycare may function as accessory uses to a church, therefore, the request is

consistent with the character in the surrounding area. The site is currently developed

as a church. The parking provided is compliant with the Code and provides a loop to

prevent queuing out onto SR 46, as depicted in the stacking plan provided by the

applicant. The school and daycare operate during weekday hours that do not overlap

with the church. The subject property meets identified portions of the Comprehensive

Plan with low intensity development, as further discussed in the staff report, and as

required by the Wekiva River Protection Area and the Suburban Estates Future Land

Use designation. The subject site anticipates church attendance of approximately 330

people. The proposed addition of a daycare and assembly space is intended to serve

the surrounding population. Upon further examination, the trips generated will likely not

exceed the threshold that would require roadway improvements, but it will require

further examination by Traffic Engineering. A Traffic Impact Study will be required

during the Site Plan review. This further examination, plus the provision of the car

stacking plan, warrants the amendment to the originally stated daycare cap of 100

children. The applicant requests a daycare cap of 141, to which staff is able to support

based on the trips generated and plan provided. The Development Order was updated

to reflect this change and provided to the Board prior to the presentation. In compliance

with Seminole County Land Development Code Sec. 30.3.5 - Community meeting

procedures, the Applicant conducted a community meeting on December 29, 2025.

Details of the community meeting have been provided in the agenda package. Staff

finds the request meets the identified portions of Section 30.3.1.5-Special Exceptions

of the Seminole County Land Development Code; therefore, staff requests the

Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the Board of County Commissioners

approve the Special Exception and the associated Development Order with the

updated daycare cap of 141 children, to allow the use of a church and daycare in the

A-1 (Agricultural) zoning district on approximately 10.62 acres, located on the south

side of W SR 46, and west of Orange Blvd.

Maverick Von Herbulis, for the applicant, with McKee Construction in Sanford, Florida,

thanked Staff for help with the process. He further stated that he had a lot of these

types of projects where he has to come before Boards, but our Staff have gone above

and beyond to try and help with the project process. He further stated that the new

building is for the church assembly space and offices. With regards to the private

school and preschool, the renovation taking place in the existing building is for that use,

but the new building that they are expanding is for the church assembly and offices.

Some of the neighbors’ concerns was that the building was being built in a

conservation area, but they are not touching the conservation area. Since the

community citizen’s meeting, there have been some changes to help with some of the

neighbor’s concerns, such as the buffering requirements to address some potential

noise. A lot of the noise concerns were from SR 429, but there is nothing they can do

with that road, however, they can buffer the impact with their construction. The new

plans show more buffering behind the church. They are running the site plan and site

review process concurrently with this Special Exception request, so these plans and

the updated landscape plans have already been submitted to the County through the

site plan process, but not yet through this (Special Exception) process.

Chairman Carissa Lawhun asked Staff to explain further about the statutory

requirements of this plan that the Board doesn’t have the right to consider. The project

manager, Kaitlyn Apgar, responded that the State allows private schools (K-12) to be

allowed outright in the church building without the requirement of a Special Exception,

so that aspect cannot be limited. Deputy County Attorney, Neysa Borkert, stated that

the State revised by Statute in 2024, that states private schools can locate in a building

that is being used as a church, theatre, cinema, museum, performing arts, etc., if

certain criteria are met, for the past five (5) years, without the need to obtain a

rezoning, Special Exception, or other type of zoning approval. Basically, the State

pre-empted our ability to limit the location of private schools in any of those types of

facilities that have been existing for five (5) years. The County, however, can insure

that our health/safety/welfare Codes are being met; so we can regulate that part.

However, the County cannot modify or require modifications to the Special Exception

that currently exists. Daycares are not included and not considered as private schools,

which are dealt with separately, and those need a Special Exception. Since the Code

has changed, and churches need a Special Exception in the zoning district, they were

tying in the church use for this expansion, but for only the church facilities. The private

school cannot locate in the new facilities without a change to their Special Exception.

They can only locate in the existing facility.

Commissioner Tim Smith stated that he heard the number of 150 students, but it’s

being capped at 141 students and asked why the difference. Ms. Apgar of Staff

responded that the 150 student cap may refer to the previous Special Exception that

was approved in 2016 for the Pre-K through 12th, but the daycare cap would be 141

students.

Commissioner Richard Jerman stated that he didn’t understand if the cap of 141 is in

addition to the 150 students. Ms. Apgar responded that this Development Order is an

addendum to the last Development Order, which is technically still in place. However,

as Ms. Borkert stated, we cannot limit the private school, so we can’t place a cap on

the number of students.

Ms. Borkert inserted that we can’t place a zoning cap, such as a Special Exception cap

on the private school. It can be capped by virtue of the Building Code, class sizes,

parking, etc. The daycare cap is just for the daycare. The Special Exception for the

private school still exists and is still a use on the property. This project request is in

addition to what is existing, assuming they are using the total in the original Special

Exception of 150. The applicant can confirm if that is the case for the K-12 school. Ms.

Apgar stated that she thinks they have less than 150 students.

Commissioner Jerman stated that he is still not clear and asked how many students in

total, between the existing school and the daycare. Ms. Apgar responded that their

proposed cap of 141 and their total for PreK-12 is 170. Commissioner Jerman stated

that is over 300 students. The applicant confirmed yes, that is correct.

Pemberton Carports PD Major Amendment Rezone - Consider a Rezone from PD

(Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development) to allow for reduced building

setbacks and buffer requirements for accessory structures on 0.87 acres, located on

the north side of Pemberton Drive, east of South Orange Blossom Trail; (Z2024-014)

(Darron Sims, Applicant) District 3 - Constantine (Kaitlyn Apgar, Senior Planner)

Kaitlyn Apgar, Senior Planner, presented this item as stated in the Staff report. She

further stated that the existing Future Land Use is Planned Development, and the

existing zoning is PD. The property is located within the business tract of the Bear Lake

Planned Development. The established PD Future Land Use does not specify a

maximum floor area ratio value for the business tract. The subject site is approximately

0.87 acres and was developed in 2005 as a warehouse and office building. The

purpose of the PD amendment is to allow for the existence and permitting of accessory

structures to the warehouse and office building. The property has been subject to a

code enforcement case related to unpermitted construction, inclusive of these

structures. In the pursuit of compliance, the applicant removed the structures, but

requests the PD amendment in order to complete permitting. The owner intends to

retain three (3) accessory carport structures that encroach into the rear yard setback of

thirty (30) feet, resulting in a proposed rear yard setback of six (6) feet. The carports

also encroach into the required 100-foot buffer from the residential lot lines to the north,

as established in condition four (4) in the original Bear Lake PD Developer’s

Commitment Agreement. The current request would result in reduction of this buffer to

eighty-six (86) feet. The requested reductions will only apply to the accessory

structures on the subject property, and will not be applicable to the primary structure.

The Land Development Code specifies that PD’s should adhere to the greater benefit

and innovation criteria and remain consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. These

criteria are addressed in the Staff report and displayed on the slides. As a summary,

the request to amend the rear setback and 100-foot buffer from the residential lot lines

does not otherwise detract from the intent of the PD. The Bear Lake PD was approved

in August of 1990, which was established under slightly different criteria than what

exists today. Overall, the amendment to this PD does not impair the PD’s ability or

inability to meet these criteria on a large scale. The residential tract for the Bear Lake

PD has already been constructed and most of the parcels in the business tract are also

developed. The impact to the surrounding area is nominal overall in building coverage

and impervious surface area. Through the proposed addendum, a maximum Floor

Area Ratio is proposed in order to regulate the intensity of the site. The maximum Floor

Area Ratio proposed is 0.65 in accordance with typical light industrial uses, such as

warehouses. The addition of the carports serve to enhance the property and obscure

any storage of materials by general business and warehouse uses, as allowed in the

PD. The site is located in the Seminole County utility service area and is connected to

water service. The property was previously approved to have a septic system. The site

does not have specific open space requirements per lot; however, the PD requires the

overall Business Center development to maintain a minimum of 3.14 acres of

landscaping/open space. The property has access onto Pemberton Drive, which is

classified as a local road. Buffer requirements will be determined at Site Plan approval

and will be in compliance with the Seminole County Land Development Code. In

compliance with Seminole County Land Development Code Sec. 30.49 - Community

Meeting Procedure, the applicant conducted a community meeting on September 24,

2025 with details of the community meeting provided in the agenda package. Staff

requests the Planning and Zoning Board recommend the Board of County

Commissioners adopt the ordinance enacting a Rezone, and adopt the associated

Rezone Ordinance per the following motion: Based on Staff’s findings and the

testimony and evidence received at the hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission

finds the request meets the identified portions of the Seminole County Land

Development Code and recommends the Board adopt the Ordinance enacting a

Rezone from PD (Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development), and approve

the associated Developer’s Commitment Agreement and Master Development Plan, on

0.87 acres, located on the north side of Pemberton Dr, east of South Orange Blossom

Trl.

Cole Wynia, for the applicant, with the McNulty Group, of Lake Mary, Florida, stated

that this dates back to two sellers ago, which had a lot of unpermitted work on the

building. He is representing the buyer of this property, and they had to adopt all of

these code enforcement issues, which they learned about when they came in for a use

permit. The previous seller did everything he could to accommodate the County and

installed several different stairwells, moved awnings in the back, and satisfied all of the

code issues. The awnings and carports have been there since 2011. They are

completely obscured from the road. The current owner needs them for his business to

store outside materials.

No one from the audience spoke in favor nor in opposition to this request. Public

comment was closed.

A motion was made by Vice Chairman Brandy Ioppolo, seconded by Commissioner

Mike Lorenz, to approve and refer the Pemberton Carports PD Major Amendment

Wayside Drive Assemblage PD Major Amendment Rezone - Consider a Rezone from

A-1 (Agriculture) and PD (Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development) to add

three (3) properties to the Wayside Assemblage PD for a mixed use development

consisting of multi-family, office, retail commercial, and higher intensity planned

development -target industries uses on approximately 19.98 acres, located on the

south side of Wayside Dr, east of International Pkwy; (Z2025-017) (Douglas

Hoeksema, Applicant) District5 - Herr (Annie Sillaway, Principal Planner).

The Applicant is requesting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) and PD (Planned

Development) to PD (Planned Development) to incorporate three (3) parcels, into the

Wayside Assemblage PD, and to establish a new ingress/egress access onto

International Pkwy. On December 12, 2023, the Applicant received approval for a PD

(Planned Development) rezoning for a mixed use development on approximately 19.48

acres that consisted of three tracts:

Tract A: Higher Intensity Planned Development - Target Industry (HIP-TI) and

Office uses;

Tract B: Multi-Family and Target Industry uses;

Tract C: C-2 (Retail Commercial) and OP (Office) uses

Tract A and Tract B have an existing Future Land Use designation of HIP-TI, which

allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) of 1.5, and Tract B allows a maximum

density of forty (40) dwelling units per net buildable acre. Tract C has a Commercial

Future Land Use designation, which allows a maximum F.A.R. of 0.35, with these

previously approved development entitlements will remain in effect. The newly

incorporated parcels are approximately 1.07 acres along the western portion of the

proposed development. The newly proposed ingress/egress access onto International

Drive will require an approved traffic impact analysis prior to Final Development Plan

approval. Required improvements may include, but are not limited to, turn lanes,

access limitations, and signalized intersections. The buffers along the west perimeter

will be evaluated and determined at the time of the Final Development Plan, and the

Developer will provide 25% open space. The proposed PD zoning designation and the

associated Master Development Plan have been evaluated for compliance with the

Seminole County Land Development Code (SCLDC) review criteria for Planned

Developments as follows:

The proposed development is consistent with the Seminole County

Comprehensive Plan.

The HIP-TI Future Land Use designation aims to attract target industries for

higher-paying employment in strategic locations along the North I-4 Corridor,

emphasizing proximity to major interchanges.

The Developer will provide natural resource preservation by amenitizing the

storm water pond that will enhance water quality and habitat.

The proposed development creates a live-work environment by reducing the

commuting distances by capturing trips on site while also promoting economic

growth, and connects the development to Wayside and International Pkwy.

The developer will provide neighborhood and community amenities by providing

landscape buffers, internal pathways, and integrated open spaces.

The proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan by promoting

flexibility and creativity in addressing changing social, economic and market conditions,

especially where they are used to implement adopted policies of the Comprehensive

Plan. Per Policy FLU 4.5, uses while providing residential that is subordinate to the

Target Industry Uses, and Per Policy 5.3.3 Commercial Future Land Use, is to identify

locations for a variety of commercial uses, neighborhood, and community shopping

centers. Staff finds the request to be consistent with the Seminole County

Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code, and compatible with the trend

of development in the surrounding area. The Applicant conducted a community

meeting on December 2, 2025, and no members of the community attended the

meeting.

Staff requests the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the Board of County

Commissioners adopt the Ordinance enacting a Rezone per the following motion:

Based on Staff’s findings and the testimony and evidence received at the hearing, the

Planning and Zoning Commission finds the request meets the identified portions of the

Seminole County Land Development Code and recommends the Board of County

Commissioners adopt the Ordinance enacting a rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) and PD

(Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development), and approve the associated

Development Order and Master Development Plan on approximately 19.98 acres,

located on the south side of Wayside Dr, east of International Pkwy.

Since the agenda has been sent, Staff’s recommendation has been revised, to include

both the Development Order and the Master Development Plan in the motion. Once the

Board has determined how it would like to vote, please read the language shown on

the screen and not in your agenda packets.

Ben Beckham, for the applicant, with Madden, Moorhead & Stokes, in Maitland, Florida

stated that this project is an existing PD and the application is to modify the PD to add

three (3) small parcels along International Pkwy. Those additional parcels will allow

increased public access to the project for the commercial business uses in the HIP-TI

area. The applicant is not requesting any increases to the existing entitlements on the

property, and the proposed number of units and proposed building square footages all

remain exactly the same as before. This is just adding a little bit of land area for

increased access. They agree with the conditions of the Development Order and look

forward to a favorable motion.

No one from the audience spoke in favor, nor in opposition to this request.
