The meeting date is August 4, 2026. The case number is SPR #26-10. The applicants are Steven and Laura Carras. The document is a Planning & Zoning Board agenda item.

[1024 Anchorage Court, Winter Park, FL 32789; case SPR #26-14] The document is a Planning & Zoning Board agenda item for SPR #26-14, a request by Adam Metel with Nasrallah Design Studio for approval to construct a new, two-story, 9,897 square-foot, single-family home at 1024 Anchorage Court on Lake Maitland, zoned R-1AAA. The unsubmerged portion of the property is 18,369 square feet. The proposed impervious lot coverage is 14,137 square feet, meeting the maximum 50% allowed.

The applicant is not proposing to remove any of three specimen trees on the property, including a 100-inch caliper live oak, a 36-inch caliper live oak, and a 36-inch caliper bald cypress. The plan complies with the severe grade change provision for lakefront walls, as there is around a 10-foot difference in grade between the front and rear of the structure. The applicant is proposing a lakefront setback of just under 88 feet, compared to the average of 117 feet for the two neighboring waterfront structures. Staff believes there are no significant impacts on traditional views of neighbors due to the unique shape, positioning, and flag lot layout of the property, and a tall vegetative buffer along both property lines.

Morse Boulevard; case CU #26-01; ORDINANCE XXXX-26] The document is a multi-part public record from the City of Winter Park, Florida, containing several distinct items: (1) a voluntary annexation ordinance for a property owned by SUMMER TIME MANAGEMENT LLC, (2) a companion ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to establish a Commercial Future Land Use designation on the annexed property at 915 North Wymore Road, (3) a companion ordinance amending the Zoning Map to establish Commercial (C-3) zoning on the annexed property at 915 North Wymore Road, and (4) a Planning & Zoning Board agenda item for Conditional Use application CU #26-01 for a property at 210 E. Morse Boulevard. For the annexation and zoning items, the property is described as Orange County Tax Parcel ID: 02-22-29-0000-00-086, located at 915 North Wymore Road, and the legal description in Exhibit A states the parcel contains 2,995 square feet or 0.07 acres, more or less, being a portion of Section 2, Township 22 South, Range 29 East, Orange County, Florida. The annexation ordinance states the property is developed for urban purposes and is reasonably compact and contiguous to the municipal limits. The Future Land Use ordinance establishes a Commercial Future Land Use designation on the annexed property. The zoning ordinance establishes Commercial (C-3) district zoning on the annexed property. The ordinances state the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on August 4, 2026, and made a recommendation. The annexation ordinance states it was adopted after two public hearings and becomes effective after adoption at its second reading. The Future Land Use ordinance becomes effective 31 days after adoption unless timely challenged. The zoning ordinance becomes effective immediately upon the effectiveness of the companion Comprehensive Plan amendment ordinance. The ordinances are dated 2026, with specific adoption dates left blank. The applicant for the annexation is SUMMER TIME MANAGEMENT LLC. The case number for the annexation is not stated; the ordinances are labeled ORDINANCE XXXX-26. For the Conditional Use item, the property is located at 210 E. Morse Boulevard, Parcel ID 07-22-30-8776-00-120, approximately 0.61 acres, zoned High Density Residential (R-4), within the Central Business District and the Interlachen Avenue Historic District. The request is by GAI Consultants, Inc. on behalf of El Cortez, LTD (property owner), in conjunction with Chabad of Greater Orlando, for Conditional Use approval for a project consisting of five townhome units fronting Morse Boulevard, two stories in height plus partially below-level basement garages, and a three-story synagogue building fronting Knowles Avenue, including an underground parking garage, a place of worship with rooftop deck, and a daycare facility. The existing development is three multifamily residential buildings containing a total of 35 apartment units and 18 surface parking spaces. The proposed project would reduce density from 57 du/ac to 8 du/ac and result in a combined FAR of 100%. The synagogue is designed to accommodate approximately 80 seats and the daycare a maximum enrollment of sixty children. The project includes approximately 12,599 square feet of building coverage, resulting in lot coverage of 47.4%. Parking includes 22 spaces in the synagogue basement garage, 13 surface spaces, and 10 spaces in townhome garages. The applicant requests setback waivers along Morse Boulevard and Knowles Avenue and a waiver to the maximum impervious surface ratio for R-4 at 85% in lieu of the required 75%. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions including: no amplified music on the rooftop deck; noise limits per city regulations; all rooftop and exterior lighting fully shielded; screening of back-of-house elements; any future expansion of the synagogue above 80 seats and daycare enrollment beyond 60 children requires an amendment; operational procedures for daycare vehicle queues; replatting prior to Certificate of Occupancy; and a historic marker constructed on-site. The request was tabled from its originally scheduled public hearing in June due to community feedback on the proposed architecture of the synagogue. A Community Meeting was held on June 2, 2026, with approximately 17 community members attending; primary topics were parking, traffic circulation, daycare operations, rooftop activities, security, and building visibility. Residents expressed concerns regarding parking availability during synagogue services and special events, daycare pick-up and drop-off operations, and traffic interactions with nearby institutional uses. The applicant responded that synagogue and daycare operate during different peak periods, dedicated internal circulation and stacking areas accommodate daycare drop-off, vehicles associated with the synagogue exit onto Knowles Avenue, and rooftop events would not occur simultaneously with religious services. The document does not state a final decision on the Conditional Use request; it is an agenda item with a staff recommendation of approval. The case number is CU #26-01. The meeting date is August 4, 2026. The document does not state a decision on the annexation or zoning ordinances beyond the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board. [210 E Morse Blvd (stated in meeting minutes); project located on east side of S Knowles Avenue, south of E Morse Boulevard] The document describes the proposed El Cortez redevelopment in Winter Park, Florida, which includes five three-story townhome units fronting Morse Boulevard and a synagogue fronting Knowles Avenue that will function as both a house of worship and a daycare. The project is located on the east side of S Knowles Avenue, south of E Morse Boulevard, on an approximately 0.61-acre site that includes Parcel 07-22-30-8776-00-120. The redevelopment will remove the existing 35 multi-family residential units. The synagogue is proposed to accommodate up to 80 attendees, supported by four to six staff members, and the daycare would serve up to 60 children (15-20 at time of opening). A community open house was held on June 2, 2026, and the anticipated public hearing dates are July 7, 2026 for the Planning & Zoning Board and July 22, 2026 for the City Commission. A traffic impact analysis was prepared by Kittelson & Associates for Banyan-AGPM, with a buildout year of 2028. The document does not state a final decision on the project. Public comments from the open house included concerns about daycare pickup and drop-off procedures, traffic on Morse from the nearby Methodist Church, adequate parking, security, the removal of 36 existing dwelling units, and the asking price for townhomes. The project team responded that the synagogue exits onto Knowles, not Morse, the site plan meets Code for parking, there is a security grant, and similar townhome projects are well over a million per unit. [Southeast corner of Morse Boulevard and Knowles Avenue; east side of S Knowles Avenue, south of E Morse Boulevard, Winter Park, Florida] The document is a Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed El Cortez Redevelopment in Winter Park, Florida. The approximately 0.61-acre site is located at the southeast corner of Morse Boulevard and Knowles Avenue, on the east side of S Knowles Avenue, south of E Morse Boulevard. The project will remove the existing 38 multi-family residential units and construct five townhomes and a synagogue, which will host a daycare. The project is projected to generate 263 total daily trips, including 76 AM peak-hour trips and 36 PM peak-hour trips. The proposed site will have a right-in, right-out driveway on Morse Boulevard and an outbound-only driveway on Knowles Avenue. The study concluded that the intersections in the study area all operate at LOS B or better in the existing, background, and build conditions, and the proposed development has a de minimis impact on the intersections. The document does not state a decision, applicant name, or case number. The document is a traffic impact analysis for the 'El Cortez Redevelopment' project.
