Record incomplete

The Winter Springs Planning and Zoning Board met to approve previous meeting minutes and unanimously recommended the adoption of Ordinance 2025-17. This ordinance establishes a process for reasonable accommodations regarding land development regulations for certified recovery residences.

Why it matters

The board's approval of Ordinance 2025-17 creates a formal process for drug and alcohol rehabilitation homes to request land-use accommodations, which will now be managed by the Community Development Department with an appeals process to the City Manager.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA 400) Ordinance 2025-17: Reasonable Accommodation from the City's Land Development Regulations and Certified Recovery Residences Ms. Rolle reviewed the proposed Ordinance to the Board and opened the floor for questions from the Board. Clarification was asked for the definition of a "certified recovery resident". City Attorney Eick clarified the change was required by an adopted Legislative bill and defined a "certified recovery resident" as a "silver home" or drug and alcohol rehabilitation homes. City Attorney Eick reviewed the purpose, process, and requirements related to the certified homes as set out in the Ordinance. City Attorney Eick additionally relayed the accommodations do not stay with the property; they are provided for the person or entity that requested it as well as the process for approval being through Community Development and appeal to the City Manager is necessary. Concerns about the possible loopholes and questions regarding allowing accommodation in Homeowners Associations (HOAs) were asked. Attorney Eick relayed that the residents would need to also seek accommodation with the HOA as well as the city. HOAs should abide by the Fair Housing Laws as well. The residents have to be certified and must have policies in place such as a Good Neighbors policy, relapse policy, and an eviction policy. Additional discussion ensued on if the accommodation would apply to only current buildings and if accessory dwelling units (ADUs) could be used. Attorney Eick responded in kind that it is unlikely for ADUs to be used for the accommodation. Chairperson Mah opened the Public Hearing for Item 400. No one addressed the Board. Chairperson Mah closed the Public Hearing for Item 400.
