Parking and stacking requirements must also be met to further mitigate the impacts of pick-up and drop-off activities on the surrounding neighborhood. Beyond the requirements of the City's Land Development Regulations, the Applicant must meet the health and safety requirements of the Florida Building Code, the Florida Fire Prevention Code, the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) standards, and the Department of Health (DOH).

The high -density development has units that range in size, up to three bedrooms, designed for families with multiple children. The "Service Center" located at 17395 North Bay Road is contemporary to the Winston Towers development and was a part of the original 1968 master plan. In 1979, a Declaration of Covenant was recorded, restricting the center's tenants only to those which serve the needs of the residents and guests of the Winston Towers Complex. The Declaration was borne of concerns regarding parking availability, and the restriction mitigates traffic and parking concerns by increasing the likelihood of pedestrian access. In 2012, a Declaration of Restrictions was recorded after approval by City Commission to allow a child daycare facility to operate in Unit #102, which restricted the property to have one (1) day care business and required four (4) dedicated parking spaces for the exclusive use of the day care facility. The proposed second amendment (not yet recorded) to the Declaration of Restrictions provided by the Applicant states, "No more than two (2) facilities used for daycare purposes may operate on the Property, and no such facility may comprise more than 5,471 square feet of useable interior space. Further, any daycare facility must give priority in enrollment to Winston Towers residents. The Owner shall provide five (5) parking spaces for exclusive use of the daycare facilities." The Declarations running with the land provide additional protection to the character of the immediate neighborhood. The day care facilities are required to give priority to Winston Towers residents, providing for their childcare needs, and requires dedicated parking for drop-off and pick-up activities, thereby addressing the historic parking and traffic concerns. (4) Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage, and other necessary public facilities, including police, fire and emergency services, shall exist at the City's adopted levels of service, or will be available concurrent with demand as provided for in the requirements of these LDRs, Page 5 of 12 12
