The 2,352-square-foot Garcia Winter Garden Office development, proposed by Burton Construction, would be located at 14237 W. Colonial Drive, across from the Firestone Complete Auto Care.

The zoning for the property is Arterial Commercial District and the Future Land Use is Commercial.

The building would feature cultured stone veneer, have a stucco finish and be topped off with a standing seam metal roof. 

The maximum building height for the project would be 35 feet, and all utilities for the project would be underground.

Planning Director Kelly Carson said given the small size of the lot, the applicant would need variances to allow reduced setbacks.

Based on office use parking requirements, three spaces would be required per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.

According to the site plans, although only seven spaces would be required, nine are being provided: six standard, one handicap and two bicycle stalls.

The applicant currently is going through the city of Winter Garden’s site-plan review process.
