SYNOPSIS: At its regular meeting on January 9, 2017, the City Commission requested that the City Manager and City Attorney prepare an Agenda Item so the City Commission can consider, evaluate, and discuss the current 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency as Amended January 2008. This Agenda Item is presented for discussion purposes and the City Commission may provide further direction as deemed necessary. CONSIDERATIONS: LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 1. The Florida Legislature in 2005 adopted a new mandate affecting the development of new residential housing projects. Specifically, the new law required, with very few limited exceptions, all local government communities (counties and cities) to amend their local comprehensive plans to implement school concurrency programs by 2008. Such amendments were required based on written agreements between local governments and their local district school board. 2. Generally, concurrency is a land use regulation which controls the timing of new real estate development so adequate public facilities (e.g., water, sewer, solid waste, Regular 500 PAGE 1 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 transportation, schools, etc.) will be available to accommodate the impacts of that new development. With respect to a school concurrency program, a new residential development project could be denied if there will not be adequate school capacity in the service area to accommodate students who would be housed in the project within a certain time period from the date of approval of a final plat, site plan, or its functional equivalent. 3. In furtherance of the school concurrency mandate adopted by the legislature in 2005, the Seminole County School Board, Seminole County, and all seven (7) municipalities within Seminole County approved the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency as Amended January 2008 (the "2008 School Interlocal "). A copy of the 2008 School Interlocal is attached to this Agenda Item. 4. Pursuant to the 2008 School Interlocal, the City of Winter Springs, along with the County and the other municipalities, adopted comprehensive plan amendments to incorporate and implement the school concurrency program set forth in the 2008 School Interlocal as part of each local government's land development permit process. These amendments are substantially set forth in the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, Public Schools Facilities Element (the "Element "), and currently remain in effect. A copy of the Element is attached to this Agenda Item. 5. Notwithstanding the adoption and implementation of the school concurrency mandate around the State, the legislature rescinded the school concurrency mandate six years later when it overhauled the State's growth management laws during the 2011 legislative session. See ch. 2011 -139, Laws of Florida (adopting the "Community Planning Act "). 6. The Community Planning Act now makes school concurrency programs optional. Specifically, the relevant portion of the current law is set forth in section 163.3180, Florida Statutes as follows: (6) (a) Local governments that apply concurrency to public education facilities shall include principles, guidelines, standards, and strategies, including adopted levels of service, in their comprehensive plans and interlocal agreements. The choice of one or more municipalities to not adopt school concurrency and enter into the interlocal agreement does not preclude implementation of school concurrency within other jurisdictions of the school district if the county and one or more municipalities have adopted school concurrency into their comprehensive plan and interlocal agreement that represents at least 80 percent of the total countywide population. All local government provisions included in comprehensive plans regarding school concurrency within a county must be consistent with each other and the requirements of this part. (b) Local governments and school boards imposing school concurrency shall exercise authority in conjunction with each other to establish jointly adequate level - of- service standards necessary to implement the adopted local government comprehensive plan, based on data and analysis. (c) Public school level -of- service standards shall be included and adopted into the capital improvements element of the local comprehensive plan and shall apply districtwide to all schools of the same type. Types of schools may include elementary, middle, and high schools as well as special purpose facilities such as Regular 500 PAGE 2 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 magnet schools. (d) Local governments and school boards may utilize tiered level -of- service standards to allow time to achieve an adequate and desirable level of service as circumstances warrant. (e) A school district that includes relocatable facilities in its inventory of student stations shall include the capacity of such relocatable facilities as provided in s. 1013.35(2)(b)2.f., provided the relocatable facilities were purchased after 1998 and the relocatable facilities meet the standards for long -term use pursuant to s. 1013.20. (f) 1. In order to balance competing interests, preserve the constitutional concept of uniformity, and avoid disruption of existing educational and growth management processes, local governments are encouraged, if they elect to adopt school concurrency, to apply school concurrency to development on a districtwide basis so that a concurrency determination for a specific development will be based upon the availability of school capacity districtwide. 2. If a local government elects to apply school concurrency on a less than districtwide basis, by using school attendance zones or concurrency service areas: a. Local governments and school boards shall have the burden to demonstrate that the utilization of school capacity is maximized to the greatest extent possible in the comprehensive plan and amendment, taking into account transportation costs and court - approved desegregation plans, as well as other factors. In addition, in order to achieve concurrency within the service area boundaries selected by local governments and school boards, the service area boundaries, together with the standards for establishing those boundaries, shall be identified and included as supporting data and analysis for the comprehensive plan. b. Where school capacity is available on a districtwide basis but school concurrency is applied on a less than districtwide basis in the form of concurrency service areas, if the adopted level -of- service standard cannot be met in a particular service area as applied to an application for a development permit and if the needed capacity for the particular service area is available in one or more contiguous service areas, as adopted by the local government, then the local government may not deny an application for site plan or final subdivision approval or the functional equivalent for a development or phase of a development on the basis of school concurrency, and if issued, development impacts shall be subtracted from the contiguous service area's capacity totals. Students from the development may not be required to go to the adjacent service area unless the school board rezones the area in which the development occurs. (g) The premise of concurrency is that the public facilities will be provided in order to achieve and maintain the adopted level -of- service standard. A comprehensive plan that imposes school concurrency shall contain appropriate amendments to the capital improvements element of the comprehensive plan, consistent with the requirements of s. 163.3177(3). The capital improvements element shall identify facilities necessary to meet adopted levels of service during a 5-year period consistent with the school board's educational facilities plan. Regular 500 PAGE 3 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 (h) 1. In order to limit the liability of local governments, a local government may allow a landowner to proceed with development of a specific parcel of land notwithstanding a failure of the development to satisfy school concurrency, if all the following factors are shown to exist: a. The proposed development would be consistent with the future land use designation for the specific property and with pertinent portions of the adopted local plan, as determined by the local government. b. The local government's capital improvements element and the school board's educational facilities plan provide for school facilities adequate to serve the proposed development, and the local government or school board has not implemented that element or the project includes a plan that demonstrates that the capital facilities needed as a result of the project can be reasonably provided. c. The local government and school board have provided a means by which the landowner will be assessed a proportionate share of the cost of providing the school facilities necessary to serve the proposed development. 2. If a local government applies school concurrency, it may not deny an application for site plan, final subdivision approval, or the functional equivalent for a development or phase of a development authorizing residential development for failure to achieve and maintain the level -of- service standard for public school capacity in a local school concurrency management system where adequate school facilities will be in place or under actual construction within 3 years after the issuance of final subdivision or site plan approval, or the functional equivalent. School concurrency is satisfied if the developer executes a legally binding commitment to provide mitigation proportionate to the demand for public school facilities to be created by actual development of the property, including, but not limited to, the options described in sub - subparagraph a. Options for proportionate - share mitigation of impacts on public school facilities must be established in the comprehensive plan and the interlocal agreement pursuant to s. 163.31777. a. Appropriate mitigation options include the contribution of land; the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or construction of a public school facility; the construction of a charter school that complies with the requirements of s. 1002.33(18); or the creation of mitigation banking based on the construction of a public school facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits. Such options must include execution by the applicant and the local government of a development agreement that constitutes a legally binding commitment to pay proportionate -share mitigation for the additional residential units approved by the local government in a development order and actually developed on the property, taking into account residential density allowed on the property prior to the plan amendment that increased the overall residential density. The district school board must be a party to such an agreement. As a condition of its entry into such a development agreement, the local government may require the landowner to agree to continuing renewal of the agreement upon its expiration. b. If the interlocal agreement and the local government comprehensive plan authorize a contribution of land; the construction, expansion, or payment for land Regular 500 PAGE 4 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 acquisition; the construction or expansion of a public school facility, or a portion thereof; or the construction of a charter school that complies with the requirements of s. 1002.33(18), as proportionate -share mitigation, the local government shall credit such a contribution, construction, expansion, or payment toward any other impact fee or exaction imposed by local ordinance for the same need, on a dollar - for- dollar basis at fair market value. c. Any proportionate -share mitigation must be directed by the school board toward a school capacity improvement identified in the 5-year school board educational facilities plan that satisfies the demands created by the development in accordance with a binding developer's agreement. 3. This paragraph does not limit the authority of a local government to deny a development permit or its functional equivalent pursuant to its home rule regulatory powers, except as provided in this part. (i) When establishing concurrency requirements for public schools, a local government must enter into an interlocal agreement that satisfies the requirements in ss. 163.3177(6) (h) 1. and 2. and 163.31777 and the requirements of this subsection. The interlocal agreement shall acknowledge both the school board's constitutional and statutory obligations to provide a uniform system of free public schools on a countywide basis, and the land use authority of local governments, including their authority to approve or deny comprehensive plan amendments and development orders. The interlocal agreement shall meet the following requirements: 1. Establish the mechanisms for coordinating the development, adoption, and amendment of each local government's school concurrency related provisions of the comprehensive plan with each other and the plans of the school board to ensure a uniform districtwide school concurrency system. 2. Specify uniform, districtwide level -of- service standards for public schools of the same type and the process for modifying the adopted level -of- service standards. 3. Define the geographic application of school concurrency. If school concurrency is to be applied on a less than districtwide basis in the form of concurrency service areas, the agreement shall establish criteria and standards for the establishment and modification of school concurrency service areas. The agreement shall ensure maximum utilization of school capacity, taking into account transportation costs and court - approved desegregation plans, as well as other factors. 4. Establish a uniform districtwide procedure for implementing school concurrency which provides for: a. The evaluation of development applications for compliance with school concurrency requirements, including information provided by the school board on affected schools, impact on levels of service, and programmed improvements for affected schools and any options to provide sufficient capacity; b. An opportunity for the school board to review and comment on the effect of comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings on the public school facilities plan; Regular 500 PAGE 5 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 and c. The monitoring and evaluation of the school concurrency system. 5. A process and uniform methodology for determining proportionate -share mitigation pursuant to paragraph (h). 0) This subsection does not limit the authority of a local government to grant or deny a development permit or its functional equivalent prior to the implementation of school concurrency. 7. Subsequent to the enactment of ch. 2011 -139, Laws of Florida, elected and staff representatives of Seminole County, Seminole County School Board, and the seven Seminole County municipalities began negotiating a new school interlocal agreement to replace the current 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency as Amended January 2008. 8. Negotiations are being conducted by the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) and the Public Schools Facilities Planning Committee ( PSFPC), which are committees created pursuant to the 2008 School Interlocal. PTAC consists of staff representatives of the participating local governments, and PSFPC consist of elected officials of the local governments. The City's records indicate that the last PSFPC meeting was held on November 6, 2014, and the last PTAC meeting occurred on September 28, 2016. Mayor Lacey is the City's representative on the PSFPC, and the Community Development Department has represented the City at the PTAC meetings. 9. A copy of the draft new school interlocal currently under negotiation is attached to this Agenda Item and was disseminated by the School Board on September 1, 2016 with proposed additional changes (the "2016 Draft School Interlocal "). 10. At this time, it is uncertain as to when the 2016 Draft School Interlocal will be finalized and presented to the respective governing bodies for approval. In the meantime, the City of Winter Springs remains a party to the 2008 School Interlocal and school concurrency remains in effect within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Winter Springs in accordance with the 2008 School Interlocal and the City's Comprehensive Plan, School Facilities Element. THE TERM AND TERMINATION PROVISIONS OF THE 2008 SCHOOL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT 11. The City Commission previously inquired about the term and termination provisions of the 2008 School Interlocal. The 2008 School Interlocal is in effect until terminated as set forth in Section 15. Relevant are subsections 15.3, 15.4, and 15.5, as follows: A. 15.3 Repeal of the Agreement states that if the "Florida Statute as it pertains to school planning coordination and school concurrency is repealed, the Agreement may be terminated by written consent of all parties of this Agreement." B. 15.4 Termination of Agreement provides, "No party to this Agreement may terminate its participation in the agreement except through the exception process in which a municipality may not be required to participate in school concurrency when Regular 500 PAGE 6 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 demonstrating that all the requirements are no longer having a significant impact on school attendance, per Section 163.3177(12)(b), F. S., at the time of a local government Evaluation and Appraisal Report, by providing a sixty (60) day written notice to at other parties and to the Florida Department of Community Affairs." C. 15.5 Withdrawal states, "Withdrawal from the Agreement by any party shall not alter the terms of the Agreement with respect to the remaining signatories." THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR A PUBLIC SCHOOL PLANNING AGREEMENT 12. Regardless of whether school concurrency is approved by the City and School Board, Florida law requires that the City and the School Board to enter into a joint public school planning agreement. §163.31777, Fla. Stat. Although the law encourages one agreement between the school board, county and each municipality in the county, the agreement can be separately negotiated between the school board and each local government, 13. Specifically, the minimum requirements to be contained in this agreement are enumerated in section 163.31777, Florida Statutes, as follows: (1) The county and municipalities located within the geographic area of a school district shall enter into an interlocal agreement with the district school board which jointly establishes the specific ways in which the plans and processes of the district school board and the local governments are to be coordinated. Local governments and the district school board in each school district are encouraged to adopt a single interlocal agreement to which all join as parties. (2) At a minimum, the interlocal agreement must address the following issues: (a) A process by which each local government and the district school board agree and base their plans on consistent projections of the amount, type, and distribution of population growth and student enrollment. The geographic distribution of jurisdiction -wide growth forecasts is a major objective of the process. (b) A process to coordinate and share information relating to existing and planned public school facilities, including school renovations and closures, and local government plans for development and redevelopment. (c) Participation by affected local governments with the district school board in the process of evaluating potential school closures, significant renovations to existing schools, and new school site selection before land acquisition. Local governments shall advise the district school board as to the consistency of the proposed closure, renovation, or new site with the local comprehensive plan, including appropriate circumstances and criteria under which a district school board may request an amendment to the comprehensive plan for school siting. (d) A process for determining the need for and timing of onsite and offsite improvements to support new, proposed expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The process must address identification of the party or parties Regular 500 PAGE 7 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 responsible for the improvements. (e) A process for the school board to inform the local government regarding the effect of comprehensive plan amendments on school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent with laws and rules relating to measurement of school facility capacity and must also identify how the district school board will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35. ()9 Participation of the local governments in the preparation of the annual update to the district school board's 5-year district facilities work program and educational plant survey prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. (g) A process for determining where and how joint use of either school board or local government facilities can be shared for mutual benefit and efficiency. (h) A procedure for the resolution of disputes between the district school board and local governments, which may include the dispute resolution processes contained in chapters 164 and 186 (i) An oversight process, including an opportunity for public participation, for the implementation of the interlocal agreement. (3) A municipality is exempt from the requirements of subsections (1) and (2) if the municipality meets all of the following criteria for having no significant impact on school attendance: (a) The municipality has issued development orders for fewer than 50 residential dwelling units during the preceding 5 years, or the municipality has generated fewer than 25 additional public school students during the preceding 5 years. (b) The municipality has not annexed new land during the preceding 5 years in land use categories that permit residential uses that will affect school attendance rates. (c) The municipality has no public schools located within its boundaries. (d) At least 80 percent of the developable land within the boundaries of the municipality has been built upon. (4) At the time of the evaluation and appraisal of its comprehensive plan pursuant to s. 163.3191, each exempt municipality shall assess the extent to which it continues to meet the criteria for exemption under subsection (3). If the municipality continues to meet the criteria for exemption under subsection (3), the municipality shall continue to be exempt from the interlocal agreement requirement. Each municipality exempt under subsection (3) must comply with this section within I year after the district school board proposes, in its 5-year district facilities work program, a new school within the municipality's jurisdiction. 163.31777. Public schools interlocal agreement, FL ST § 163.31777 Regular 500 PAGE 8 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 RELATED PUBLIC SCHOOL CODE STATUTES 14. There are several planning related statutes in the Public School Code that reference some level of coordination with local governments that are also worth mentioning because they address "educational facilities" and the Educational Facilities Plan required by law to be adopted by the School Board. These facilities and the related plan directly or indirectly impact school capacity. 15. For purposes of context, the term "educational facilities" is defined to mean "the buildings and equipment, structures, and special educational use areas that are built, installed, or established to serve primarily the educational purposes and secondarily the social and recreational purposes of the community and which may lawfully be used as authorized by the Florida Statutes and approved by boards. " § 1013.01, Fla. Stat. 16. The relevant statutes are as follows: A. 1013.33. Coordination of planning with local governing bodies (1) It is the policy of this state to require the coordination of planning between boards and local governing bodies to ensure that plans for the construction and opening of public educational facilities are facilitated and coordinated in time and place with plans for residential development, concurrently with other necessary services. Such planning shall include the integration of the educational facilities plan and applicable policies and procedures of a board with the local comprehensive plan and land development regulations of local governments. The planning must include the consideration of allowing students to attend the school located nearest their homes when a new housing development is constructed near a county boundary and it is more feasible to transport the students a short distance to an existing facility in an adjacent county than to construct a new facility or transport students longer distances in their county of residence. The planning must also consider the effects of the location of public education facilities, including the feasibility of keeping central city facilities viable, in order to encourage central city redevelopment and the efficient use of infrastructure and to discourage uncontrolled urban sprawl. In addition, all parties to the planning process must consult with state and local road departments to assist in implementing the Safe Paths to Schools program administered by the Department of Transportation. (2) The school board, county, and nonexempt municipalities located within the geographic area of a school district shall enter into an interlocal agreement according to s. 163.31777 that jointly establishes the specific ways in which the plans and processes of the district school board and the local governments are to be coordinated. (3) A board and the local governing body must share and coordinate information related to existing and planned school facilities; proposals for development, redevelopment, or additional development; and infrastructure required to support the school facilities, concurrent with proposed development. A school board shall use information produced by the demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences pursuant to s. 216136 when preparing the district educational facilities plan pursuant to s. 1013.35, as modified and agreed to by the local governments, when provided by interlocal agreement, and the Office of Regular 500 PAGE 9 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 Educational Facilities, in consideration of local governments' population projections, to ensure that the district educational facilities plan not only reflects enrollment projections but also considers applicable municipal and county growth and development projections. The projections must be apportioned geographically with assistance from the local governments using local government trend data and the school district student enrollment data. A school board is precluded from siting a new school in a jurisdiction where the school board has failed to provide the annual educational facilities plan for the prior year required pursuant to s. 1013.35 unless the failure is corrected. (4) The location of educational facilities shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan of the appropriate local governing body developed under part II of chapter 163 and consistent with the plan's implementing land development regulations. (5) To improve coordination relative to potential educational facility sites, a board shall provide written notice to the local government that has regulatory authority over the use of the land consistent with an interlocal agreement entered pursuant to s. 163.31777 at least 60 days prior to acquiring or leasing property that may be used for a new public educational facility. The local government, upon receipt of this notice, shall notify the board within 45 days if the site proposed for acquisition or lease is consistent with the land use categories and policies of the local government's comprehensive plan. This preliminary notice does not constitute the local government's determination of consistency pursuant to subsection (6). (6) As early in the design phase as feasible and consistent with an interlocal agreement entered pursuant to s. 163.31777, but no later than 90 days before commencing construction, the district school board shall in writing request a determination of consistency with the local government's comprehensive plan. The local governing body that regulates the use of land shall determine, in writing within 45 days after receiving the necessary information and a school board's request for a determination, whether a proposed educational facility is consistent with the local comprehensive plan and consistent with local land development regulations. If the determination is affirmative, school construction may commence and further local government approvals are not required, except as provided in this section. Failure of the local governing body to make a determination in writing within 90 days after a district school board's request for a determination of consistency shall be considered an approval of the district school board's application. Campus master plans and development agreements must comply with the provisions of s. 1013.30. (7) A local governing body may not deny the site applicant based on adequacy of the site plan as it relates solely to the needs of the school. If the site is consistent with the comprehensive plan's land use policies and categories in which public schools are identified as allowable uses, the local government may not deny the application but it may impose reasonable development standards and conditions in accordance with s. 1013.51(1) and consider the site plan and its adequacy as it relates to environmental concerns, health, safety and welfare, and effects on adjacent property. Standards and conditions may not be imposed which conflict with those established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code, unless mutually agreed and consistent with the interlocal agreement required by s. 163.31777. Regular 500 PAGE 10 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 (8) This section does not prohibit a local governing body and district school board from agreeing and establishing an alternative process for reviewing a proposed educational facility and site plan, and offsite impacts, pursuant to an interlocal agreement adopted in accordance with s. 163.31777. (9) Existing schools shall be considered consistent with the applicable local government comprehensive plan adopted under part II of chapter 163. If a board submits an application to expand an existing school site, the local governing body may impose reasonable development standards and conditions on the expansion only, and in a manner consistent with s. 1013.51(1). Standards and conditions may not be imposed which conflict with those established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code, unless mutually agreed. Local government review or approval is not required for: (a) The placement of temporary or portable classroom facilities; or (b) Proposed renovation or construction on existing school sites, with the exception of construction that changes the primary use of a facility, includes stadiums, or results in a greater than 5 percent increase in student capacity, or as mutually agreed upon, pursuant to an interlocal agreement adopted in accordance with s. 163.31777. B. 1013.35. School district educational facilities plan; definitions; preparation, adoption, and amendment; long -term work programs (1) Definitions. - -As used in this section, the term: (a) "Adopted educational facilities plan" means the comprehensive planning document that is adopted annually by the district school board as provided in subsection (2) and that contains the educational plant survey. (b) `District facilities work program" means the 5-year listing of capital outlay projects adopted by the district school board as provided in subparagraph (2)(a)2. and paragraph (2) (b) as part of the district educational facilities plan, which is required in order to: 1. Properly maintain the educational plant and ancillary facilities of the district. 2. Provide an adequate number of satisfactory student stations for the projected student enrollment of the district in K -12 programs in accordance with the goal in s. 1013.21. (c) "Tentative educational facilities plan" means the comprehensive planning document prepared annually by the district school board and submitted to the Office of Educational Facilities and the affected general-purpose local governments. (2) Preparation of tentative district educational facilities plan.— (a) Annually, prior to the adoption of the district school budget, each district school Regular 500 PAGE 11 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 board shall prepare a tentative district educational facilities plan that includes long -range planning for facilities needs over 5-year, 10 year, and 20 year periods. The plan must be developed in coordination with the general-purpose local governments and be consistent with the local government comprehensive plans. The school board's plan for provision of new schools must meet the needs of all growing communities in the district, ranging from small rural communities to large urban cities. The plan must include: 1. Projected student populations apportioned geographically at the local level. The projections must be based on information produced by the demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences pursuant to s. 216.136, where available, as modified by the district based on development data and agreement with the local governments and the Office of Educational Facilities. The projections must be apportioned geographically with assistance from the local governments using local development trend data and the school district student enrollment data. 2. An inventory of existing school facilities. Any anticipated expansions or closures of existing school sites over the 5-year, 10 year, and 20-year periods must be identified. The inventory must include an assessment of areas proximate to existing schools and identification of the need for improvements to infrastructure, safety, including safe access routes, and conditions in the community. The plan must also provide a listing of major repairs and renovation projects anticipated over the period of the plan. 3. Projections of facilities space needs, which may not exceed the norm space and occupant design criteria established in the State Requirements for Educational Facilities. 4. Information on leased, loaned, and donated space and relocatables used for conducting the district's instructional programs. S. The general location of public schools proposed to be constructed over the 5- year, 10 year, and 20-year time periods, including a listing of the proposed schools'site acreage needs and anticipated capacity and maps showing the general locations. The school board's identification of general locations of future school sites must be based on the school siting requirements of s. 163.3177(6)(a) and policies in the comprehensive plan which provide guidance for appropriate locations for school sites. 6 The identification of options deemed reasonable and approved by the school board which reduce the need for additional permanent student stations. Such options may include, but need not be limited to: a. Acceptable capacity; b. Redistricting; c. Busing; d. Year -round schools; e. Charter schools; f. Magnet schools; and g. Public-private partnerships. Regular 500 PAGE 12 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 7. The criteria and method, jointly determined by the local government and the school board, for determining the impact of proposed development to public school capacity. (b) The plan must also include a financially feasible district facilities work program for a 5-year period. The workprogram must include: 1. A schedule of major repair and renovation projects necessary to maintain the educational facilities and ancillary facilities of the district. 2. A schedule of capital outlay projects necessary to ensure the availability of satisfactory student stations for the projected student enrollment in K -12 programs. This schedule shall consider: a. The locations, capacities, and planned utilization rates of current educational facilities of the district. The capacity of existing satisfactory facilities, as reported in the Florida Inventory of School Houses must be compared to the capital outlay full- time - equivalent student enrollment as determined by the department, including all enrollment used in the calculation of the distribution formula in s. 1013.64. b. The proposed locations of planned facilities, whether those locations are consistent with the comprehensive plans of all affected local governments, and recommendations for infrastructure and other improvements to land adjacent to existing facilities. The provisions of ss. 1013.33(6), (7), and (8) and 1013.36 must be addressed for new facilities planned within the first 3 years of the work plan, as appropriate. c. Plans for the use and location of relocatable facilities, leased facilities, and charter school facilities. d. Plans for multitrack scheduling, grade level organization, block scheduling, or other alternatives that reduce the need for additional permanent student stations. e. Information concerning average class size and utilization rate by grade level within the district which will result if the tentative district facilities work program is fully implemented. f. The number and percentage of district students planned to be educated in relocatable facilities during each year of the tentative district facilities work program. For determining future needs, student capacity may not be assigned to any relocatable classroom that is scheduled for elimination or replacement with a permanent educational facility in the current year of the adopted district educational facilities plan and in the district facilities work program adopted under this section. Those relocatable classrooms clearly identified and scheduled for replacement in a school - board - adopted, financially feasible, 5-year district facilities work program shall be counted at zero capacity at the time the work program is adopted and approved by the school board. However, if the district facilities work program is changed and the relocatable classrooms are not replaced as scheduled in the work program, the classrooms must be reentered into the system and be counted at actual capacity. Relocatable classrooms may not be perpetually added to the work program or continually extended for purposes of Regular 500 PAGE 13 OF 16 - February 13, 2017 circumventing this section. All relocatable classrooms not identified and scheduled for replacement, including those owned, lease purchased, or leased by the school district, must be counted at actual student capacity. The district educational facilities plan must identify the number of relocatable student stations scheduled for replacement during the 5-year survey period and the total dollar amount needed for that replacement. g. Plans for the closure of any school, including plans for disposition of the facility or usage of facility space, and anticipated revenues. h. Projects for which capital outlay and debt service funds accruing under s. 9(d), Art.

Page 18 of 41 SECTION 11 SCHOOL CONCURRENCY PROGRAM 11.1 Commencement of School Concurrency. The School Concurrency Program described in this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2899 2008. 11.2 Concurrency Service Areas (CSA). The Parties hereby agree that School Concurrency shall be measured and applied using a geographic area known as a Concurrency Service Area (CSA) which coincides with groupings of school attendance zones within each school type based on adjacency, as established in this Agreement. The mapping of the CSAs shall be included in the data and analysis of the Public School Facilities Element and are provided in Appendix "A" of this Agreement. A CSAs will be described geographically in the Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Section 163.3180 (13)(8)(5), F.S. Maps of the CSA boundaries vall be included as support documents as defined in Rule 9J- 5.003, FAC and may be updated from time to time by the School Board. B. The County and Cities shall adopt the standards for modification of the Concurrency Service Area maps as defined here into the PSFE of the Comprehensive Plan based upon School Board Policy 5.30, titled "Student Assignment". C. As future school attendance zone changes are required for schools programmed in the Seminole School Board Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan, the CSAs shall be modified to the greatest extent possible to provide maximum utilization. D. Any Party may propose a change to the CSA boundaries. Prior to adopting any change, the School Board must verify that as a result of the change: 1. The adopted level of service standards will be achieved and maintained for each year of the five -year planning period; and 2.

At such time as the School Board determines that a school(s) attendance boundary is appropriate considering the above standards, the School Board shall transmit the revised attendance zones or CSAs and data and analysis to support the changes b the Cities, to the County, and to the PSFPC. 3. The County, Cities, and PSFPC shall review the proposed amendment within the times prescribed by Section 120.54 F.S. 4. The change to a Concurrency Service Area boundary shall conform to revised attendance boundaries and become effective upon final adoption. Page 19 of 41 F. Charter schools and magnet schools will not have their own CSA. Charter and magnet schools are open to all students residing within the district and students are generally accepted through. application approval. These special public schools vary in size, and may target a specific type of student and can limit the age groups or grade levels. 11.3 Level of Service (LOS) Standard. To ensure the capacity of schools is sufficient to support student growth, the County, Cities and School Board shall adopt a LOS standard for schools. The Parties hereby agree that the desired LOS standard shall be 100% of the aggregate permanent FISH capacity for each school type within each CSA. To financially achieve the desired LOS standard at the high school level, a tiered LOS standard is established as follows: Elementary and Middle School CSA High School GSA 2008 -2012 100% of Permanent FISH Capacity i10% of Permanent FISH Capacity Beginning 2013 100% of Permanent FISH Capacity 100% of Permanent FISH Capacity 11.4 School Concurrency Regulations. this aqFeemeFit, eaG Each Local Government shall adopt school Concurrency provisions into its land development regulations (LDRs) consistent with the requirements of this Agreement. A The County and the Cities shall amend their LDRs to adopt school Concurrency provisions for the review of development approvals. 1. In the event that any participating City does not adopt LDRs within 18 months, that government shall be deemed to have "opted in" to the County regulations and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions therein until it adopts its own ordinance. 2. At any time, any Local Government may opt out of he County's implementing ordinance through implementing its own ordinance. SECTION 12 UNIFORM SCHOOL CONCURRENCY PROCESS 12.1 General Provisions. The County, the Cities and the School Board shall ensure that the Level of Service Standard established for each school type is maintained. A No site plan, final subdivision, or functional equivalent for new residential development may be approved by the County or Cities, unless the residential development is exempt from these requirements as provided in Section 12.1(C) of this Agreement, or until a School Capacity Availability Letter Determination (SCALD) has been issued by the School Board to the local government indicating that adequate school facilities exist. B. A local government may condition the approval of the residential development to ensure that necessary school facilities are in place. Page 20 of 41 This shall not limit the authority of a local government to deny a site plan, final subdivision or its functional equivalent, pursuant to its home rule regulatory powers. C. The following residential uses shall be considered exempt from the requirements of school concurrency: 1. All residential lots of record at the time the School Concurrency implementing ordinance becomes effective. 2. Any new residential cbvelopment that has a site plan approval, final subdivision or the functional equivalent for a site specific development approval prior to the commencement date of the School Concurrency Program. 3. Any amendment to any previously approved residential development, which does not increase the number of dwelling units or change the type of dwelling units (single - family, multi- family, etc.). 4. Any age restricted community with no permanent residents under the age of eighteen (18). An age restricted community shall be subject to a restrictive covenant on all residential units limiting the age of permanent residents to 18 years and older. D. Upon request by a developer submitting a land development application with a residential component, the School Board shall issue a determination as to whether or not a development, lot or unit is exempt from the requirements of school concurrency and submit a copy of the determination to the local government within 10 days. 12.2 School Corcurrency Application Review A. Any developer submitting a development permit application (such as site plan or final subdivision) with a residential component that is not exempt under Section 12.1(C) of this Agreement is subject to school concurrency and shall prepare and submit a School Impact Analysis (SIA) to the School Board for review. B. The SIA shall indicate the location of the development, the number of dwelling units by unit type (single- family detached, single family attached, multi - family, apartments), a phasing schedule (if applicable), and age restrictions for occupancy (if any). The School Board concurrency test shall follow the following steps: 1. Test Submktal. The developer shall submit a SIA to the'School Board with a copy to the local government with jurisdiction over the proposed development. The completed SIA must be submitted a minimum of five working days but not more than 34 days prior to Development Application submittal to the local government. The School Board shall perform a sufficiency review on the SIA application. An incomplete SIA application will be returned to the Owner /Developer without processing. The School Board will have 20 working days to determine sufficiency and complete the Test Review. The School °Board may charge the applicant a non - refundable application fee payable to the School Page 21 of 41 Board to meet the cost of review in accordance with Florida Statutes. 2. Test Review. Each SIA application will be reviewed in the order in which it is received by the School Board. 3. Passing the Test If the available capacity of public schools for each type within the CSA [or contiguous CSAs as provided for in 12.3(C) below) containing the proposed project is equal to or greater than the proposed projects needed capacity, the concurrency test is passed. The School Board will issue a School Capacity Availability Letter of Determination (SCALD) identifying the school capacity available to serve the proposed project and that said capacity has been encumbered for the proposed project for a period of one year. A capacity encumbrance fee will be established during the regulatory phase of this process. 4. Failing the Test. If the available capacity of public schools for any type within the CSA (or contiguous CSAs as provided for in 12.3(C) below) containing the proposed project is less than the proposed projects needed capacity, the concurrency test is failed. The School Board will issue a School Capacity Availability Letter of Determination (SCALD) and inform the developer. If capacity is not available the School Board will advise the developer of the following options: a. Accept a 30 day encumbrance of available school capacity, and within the same 30 day period, amend the Development Application to balance it with the available capacity; or b. Accept a 60 day encumbrance of available school capacity, and within the same 60 day period, negotiate with the School Board and the local government on a Proportionate Shan: Mitigation plan as outlined in Section 12.5 below; or C. Appeal the results of the failed test pursuant to the provisions in Section 12.8 below; or d. Withdraw the SIA application. 5. Test Abandonment. If no option under Section 12.2(B)(4) above is exercised by the developer within 45 days, then the application shall be deemed abandoned. 12.3 Methodology. The methodology for performing the concurrency test shall follow the steps outlined below: A To - determine a proposed development's projected students, the proposed development's projected number and type of residential units shall be converted into projected students for all schools of each type within the specific CSA using the adopted Student Generation Multiplier, as established in the most current adopted Seminole County BCC Public School Impact Fee Ordinance. Page 22 of 41 B. New school capacity within a CSA which is in place or under actual construction in the first three years of the School Board's Capital Improvement Plan will be added to the capacity shown in the CSA, and is counted as available capacity for the residential development under review. C. If the projected student growth from a residential development causes the adopted LOS to be exceeded in the CSA, an adjacent CSA which is contiguous with and touches the boundary of, the concurrency service area within which the proposed development is located shall be evaluated for available capacity. An adjacency evaluation review shall be conducted as follows: 1. In conducting the adjacency review, the School Board shall first use the adjacent CSA with the most available capacity to evaluate projected enrollment impact and, if necessary, shall continue to the next adjacent CSA with the next most available capacity. 2. Consistent with Rule 6A-3.0171, F.A.C., at no time shall the shift of impact to an adjacent CSA result in a total morning or afternoon transportation time of either elementary or secondary students to exceed fifty (50) minutes or one (1) hour, respectively. The transportation time shall be determined by the School Board transportation routing system and measured from the school the impact is to be assigned, to the center of the subject parcel /plat in the amendment application, along the most direct improved pubic roadway free from major hazards. 12.4 Development Review Table. The School Board shall create and maintain a Development Review Table (DRT) for each CSA, and will use the DRT to compare the projected students from proposed residential developments to the . CSAs available capacity programmed within the first three years of the current five -year capital planning period. A Student enrollment projections shall be based on the most recently adopted School Board Capital Facilities Work Program, and the DRT shall be updated to reflect these projections. Available capacity shall be derived using the following formula: Available Capacity = School Capacity' — (Enrollment' + Approved') Where: 'School Capacity = Permanent School Capacity as programmed in the first three (3) years of the School Board's Five -Year CIP. 2Enrollment = Student enrollment as counted at the Fall FTE. 3Approved = Students generated from approved residential developments after the implementation of school concurrency. B. Using the Fall FTE, the vested number of students on the DRT will be reduced by the number of students represented by the residential units that received certificates of occupancy within the previous twelve (12) month period. Page 23 of 41 12.5 Proportionate Share Mitigation. In the event there is not available school capacity to support a development, the School Board shall - entertain proportionate share mitigation options and, if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with the developer to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional school capacity. A. When the anticipated student impacts from a proposed development cause the adopted LOS to be exceeded, the developer's proportionate share will be based on the number of additional student stations necessary to achieve the established LOS. The amount to be paid will be calculated by the cost per student station for elementary, middle and high school as determined and published by the State of Florida. B. The methodology used to calculate a developer's proportionate share mitigation shall be as follows: Proportionate Share = ('Development students - Available Capacity) X 2 Total Cost per student station Where: 'Development students = those students from the development that are assigned to a CSA and have triggered a deficiency of the available capacity. 2Total Cost = the cost per student station as determined and published by the State of Florida. C. The applicant shall accept a 90 day encumbrance of available school capacity, and within the same 90 day period enter into negotiations with the School Board in an effort to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional capacity. Upon identification and acceptance of a mitigation option deemed financially feasible by the School Board, the developer shall enter into a binding and enforceable development agreement with the School Board. 1. A mitigation contribution provided by a developer to offset the impact of a residential development must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity project identified in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. Capacity enhancing projects identified within the first three (3) years of the Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan shall be considered as committed in accordance with Section 9.5 of this Agreement. 2. If capacity projects are planned in years four (4) or five (S) of the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan within the same CSA as the proposed residential development, the developer may pay his proportionate share to mitigate the proposed development in accordance with the formula provided in Section 12.5(8) of this Agreement. 3. If a capacity project does not exist in the Capital Improvement Plan, the School Board will add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed residential development, if it is funded through the developer's proportionate share mitigation Page 24 of 41 contributions. Mitigation options may include, but are not limited to: a. Contribution of land or payment for land acquisition suitable for and in conjunction with, the provision of additional school capacity; or b. Mitigation banking based on the construction of a educational facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits; or C. Provide modular or permanent student stations acceptable for use as an educational facilities; or d. Provide additional student stations through the remodeling of existing buildings acceptable for use as an educational facility; or e. Construction or expansion of permanent student stations at the impacted school within the CSA; or f. Construction of a educational facility in advance of the firne set forth in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. D. For mitigation measures (a) thru (f) above, the estimated cost to construct the mitigating capacity will reflect the estimated future construction costs at the time of the anticipated construction. Improvements contributed by the developer shall receive school impact fee credit. E. Developer shall receive an impact fee credit for the proportionate share mitigation. Credits will be given for that portion of the impact fees that would have been used to fund the improvements on which the proportionate fair share contribution was calculated. The portion of impact fees available for the credit will be based on the historic distribution of impact fee funds to the school type. (elementary, middle, high) in the appropriate CSA. Impact fee credits shall be calculated at the same time as the applicant's proportionate share obligation is calculated. Any school impact fee credit based on proportionate fair share contributions for a proposed development cannot be transferred to any other parcel or parcels of 'real property within the CSA. F. A proportionate share mitigation contribution shall not be subsequently amended or refunded after final site plan or plat approval to reflect a reduction in planned or constructed residential density. G. Impact fees shall be credited against the proportionate share mitigation total. H. Any proportionate share mitigation must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity improvement identified in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. 1. Upon conclusion of the negotiation period, a second Determination Letter shall be issued. If mitigation is agreed to, the School Board shall issue a new Determination Letter approving the development subject to those mitigation measures agreed to by the local government, developer and Page 25 of 41 the School Board. Prior to, site plan approval, final subdivision approval or the functional equivalent, the mitigation measures shall be memorialized in an enforceable and binding agreement with the local government, the School Board and the Developer that specifically details mitigation provisions to be paid for by the developer and the relevant terms and conditions. If mitigation is not agreed to, the Determination Letter shall detail why any mitigation proposals were rejected and why the development is not in compliance with school concurrency requirements. A SCALD indicating either that adequate capacity is available, or that there is not a negotiated proportionate share mitigation settlement following the ninety (90) day negotiation period as described in Section 12.5(C) of this Agreement, constitutes final agency action by the School Board for purposes of Chapter 120; F.S. 12.6 School Concurrency Approval. Issuance of a SCALD by the School Board identifying that adequate capacity exists indicates only that school facilities are currently available, and capacity for the proposed development has been encumbered. Capacity will not be reserved until the local government issues a Development Approval. A A local government shall not issue a Development Approval for a residential development until receiving confirmation of available school capacity in the form of a SCALD from the School Board. The Development Approval shall include a reference to the findings of the SCALD indicating that the project meets school concurrency. B. Local governments shall notify the School Board within ten (10) working days of any official change in the validity (status) of a Development Approval for a residential development. C. The Local Government shall not issue a building permit or its functional equivalent for a non - exempt residential development until receiving confirmation of available school capacity from the School Board in the form of a SCALD. Once the tocat government has issued a final development approval, school concurrency for the residential development shall be valid for the life of the final development approval. 12.7 Reserved Capacity. School capacity will be reserved when there is a final disposition of the Development Application by the local government. If the local government approves the Development Application by means of a Development Approval, or its equivalent, the School Board shall move the school capacity from encumbered status to reserved status for the proposed project When the local government issues a Development approval for a residential project it shall notify the School Board Wthin 10 working days. The duration for which capacity is reserved shall be subject to the respective municipality's Land Development Code, but shall not exceed two years from the date of approval or the issuance of a building permit, whichever occurs first. If the building permit once issued expires under the development regulations of the local government, the project will lose its reserved capacity. Should a Development Approval for a residential development expire, the subject municipality shall notify the School Board.

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 1: Provide Quality Education. As a basic tenet of community life, it is the goal of the City to contribute to and maintain a high quality public school environment. Objective 1.1: Level of Service Standards and Service Boundaries. The City shall cooperate with the Seminole County School Board (School Board) in their efforts to correct existing deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted level of service standards and appropriate public school facility service area boundaries. The level of service standard is a countywide standard, specified in the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency As Amended January 2008 (2007 iLA), wherein the following terms are used: Permanent Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH):- meaning the permanent facilities within the inventory of land, buildings and rooms in public educational facilities used by the Florida Department of Education, Office of Educational Facilities; and Concurrency Service Area (CSA): A geographic unit promulgated by the School Board and adopted by local governments within which the level of service is measured when an application for residential development is reviewed for school concurrency purposes. The CSA coincides with groupings of school attendance zones within each school type based on adjacency. Level of Service (LOS) Standard- meaning a standard established to measure utilization of capacity within a CSA. [Current LOS within a CSA is determined by dividing the full -time equivalent student count (FTE) for the Fall Semester at the some type of schools by the permanent FISH capacity of the same type of schools. Projected or future LOS is determined by the dividing the projected enrolled students at the same type of schools within a CSA by the planned permanent FISH capacity of the same type of schools. Policy 1.1.1: Adoption of Level of Service (LOS) Standards. Adopt the following desired LOS standard for school capacity along with the other cities Within Seminole County, the County, and the School Board to ensure that the capacity of schools is sufficient to support student growth: 100% of the aggregate permanent FISH capacity for each school type Within each CSA. Establish the following tiered LOS standard, to financially achieve the desired los standard: 2008-2012 Beginning 2013 Elementary & 100% of Permanent 100% of Permanent FISH Middle CSA FISH Capacity Ca` acit High School 110% of Permanent 100% of Permanent FISH CSA FISH Capacity CaDCCitV VII - 1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Policy 1.1.2: Use of Level of Service (LOS) Standards. Coordinate through the City's Concurrency Management System with the School Board and other local jurisdictions, to ensure that the LOS standards established for each school type are maintained. Policy 1.1.3: Use of Concurrency Service Area (CSA) Boundaries. Apply school concurrency using CSA boundaries adopted by the School Board. Policy 1.1.4: CSAs for Each Type of School. Recognize the CSA boundaries established by the School Board and as re- evaluated from time to time, based on clustered attendance zones for each school type (elementary, middle and high school), based on adjacency. Policy 1.1.5: CSA Boundary Changes. Consider the modification from time to time, of CSA maps made at the determination of the School Board to maximize utilization of school capacity. Receive the proposed change request from the school board, as transmitted to the City and other local jurisdictions, with supporting data and analysis. Review and submit comments on the proposed modification to the School Board within forty -five (45) days. Policy 1.1.6: Coordination of School Board Capital Improvements Schedule and Potential CSA Boundary Changes. Receive as identified in the 2007 ILA, the School Board's annual update of its Capital Improvements Schedule of attendance zone changes, and when necessary, modifications to the CSA maps to provide maximum utilization of facilities, to the greatest extent possible. Objective 1.2: Development Review Coordination to Achieve Concurrency. The City will coordinate its development review efforts with the School Board to achieve concurrency in all public school facilities. Policy 1.2.1: Development Review Process. Withhold or condition the approval of any site plan, final subdivision, or functional equivalent for new residential units not exempted, until a School Capacity Availability Letter Determination (SCALD) has been Issued by the School Board to the City indicating that adequate school facilities exist or until a mitigation agreement has been reached, pursuant to the availability standard specified in Subsection 163.3180(13)(e), Florida Statutes. (Cross Reference: See Capital Improvements Element, Policy1.7.6; and Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Policy 1.2.9) Policy 1.2.2: Adoption of School Concurrency Provisions into the City's Land Development Regulations. Adopt school concurrency provisions into the City's land development regulations for the review of development approvals, consistent with the requirements of the 2007 ILA. Objective 1.3: Coorclination of Existing and Future School Facility Planning with the Future Land Use Element and Development Approval Process. The City shall coordinate with the School Board during development approvals and changes to the City's Future Land Use Plan Map (FLUM) to help ensure the timely provision of public school facilities. VII -2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Policy 1.3.1: Coordination of Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Facility Planning. Consider the availability and future provision of school facility capacity, the provision of school sites and facilities within neighborhoods, the compatibility of land uses adjacent to existing schools and reserved school sites, the co- location of parks, recreation and neighborhood facilities with school sites and the linkage of schools, parks, libraries and other public facilities with bikeways, trails, and sidewalks for safe access during the review of proposed comprehensive plan land use map amendments. Policy 1.3.2: Site Sizes and Co- location in the City. Work with the School District to identify sites for future educational facilities that meet the minimum standards of the School Board where possible and which are consistent with the provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Support the School Board in efforts to use standards more appropriate to a built urban environment, when the size of available sites does not meet the minimum School Board standards. Work with the School Board to achieve co- location of schools with City facilities, to the extent feasible, as a solution to the problem of lack of sufficiently sized sites. Policy 1.3.3: Participation in Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAQ. Actively participate in the PTAC, as provided in the 2007 iLA, for the purpose of discussing issues and formulating recommendations to the Public Schools Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC) regarding coordination of land use and school facilities planning, including such issues as population and student projections, development trends, school needs, co- location and joint use opportunities, ancillary infrastructure improvements needed to support the schools, School Board Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan and the Public School Concurrency Program. (Cross Reference: See Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Policy 1.2.7) Policy 1.3.4: Determining Impacts. Determination of adequate school capacity will be the responsibility of the School Board. Policy 1.3.5: Notification of Submittal of Residential Applications. Notify the school Board within 10 working days of receipt of any land use or development application having a residential component and transmit submitted subdivision plans and site plans to the School Board for their review. Policy 1.3.6: Notification of Meetings. Provide the School Board with agendas of staff review, the Planning & Zoning Board /Local Planning Agency and the City Commission meetings. Objective 1.4: Concurrency. The City shall require that public school facility capacity is available concurrent with the impacts of new residential development, as required by Subsection 163.3180(13)(e), Florida Statutes (F.S.) Policy 1.4.1: Timing of Concurrency Review. Require that all new residential development be reviewed for school concurrency prior to development approval, as defined in the 2007 ILA. VII -3 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Policy 1.4.2: Results of Concurrency Review. Comply with the availability standards of Subsection 163.3180(13)(e), F.S., and do not deny development approval due to failure to achieve the adopted LOS for public school facilities when the following occurs: • Adequate school facilities are planned and will be in place or under construction within three (3) years of the development approval. • The developer executes a legally binding commitment to provide mitigation proportionate to the demand for public school facilities consistent with the methodology in the 2007 ILA. Policy 1.4.3: Residential Uses Exempt from the Requirements of School Concurrency. Exempt the following residential uses from the requirements of school Concurrency: • All single family lots of record at the time the school Concurrency implementing ordinance became effective. • Any new residential development that has a preliminary plat (final subdivision) or site plan approval or the functional equivalent for a site specific development order prior to the commencement date of the School Concurrency Program. • Any amendment to a previously approved residential development which does not increase the number of dwelling units or change the type of dwelling units. ® Any age restricted community with no permanent residents under the age of 18 (a restrictive covenant limiting the age of residents to 18 and older shall be required.) Policy 1.4.4: Use of Revenues Received Through Proportionate Share Mitigation. Direct any revenues for proportionate share mitigation toward a school capacity improvement identified in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. Policy 1.4.5: Proportionate Share Mitigation. Consider in the event, that there is not available school capacity to support a development, that the School Board may entertain proportionate share mitigation options and, if accepted, enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with the developer to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional school capacity. A. Recognize when the anticipated student impacts from a proposed development cause the adopted LOS to be exceeded, the developer's proportionate share will be based on the number of additional student stations necessary to achieve the established LOS. Calculate the amount to be paid by the cost per student station for elementary, middle and high school as determined and published by the State of Florida. B. Calculate a developer's proportionate share mitigation through the following methodology: Vll -4 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Proportionate Share = ('Development students - Available Capacity) x 2Total Cost per student station Where: 'Development students = those students from the development that are assigned to a CSA and have triggered a deficiency of the available capacity. 2Total Cost = the cost per student station as determined and published by the State of Florida. C. Allow the applicant to enter a 90 -day negotiation period with the School Board in an effort to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional capacity. Upon identification and acceptance of a mitigation option deemed financially feasible by the School Board, the developer shall enter Into a binding and enforceable development agreement with the School Board. 1. A mitigation contribution provided by a developer to offset the impact of a residential development must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity project identified in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. Capacity enhancing projects identified within the first three (3) years of the Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan shall be considered as committed in accordance with Section 9.5 of the 2007 ILA. 2. If capacity projects are planned in years four (4) or five (5) of the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan within the same CSA as the proposed residential development, the developer may pay his proportionate share to mitigate the proposed development In accordance with the formula provided in Section 12.7 (B) of the 2007 iLA. 3. If a capacity project does not exist in the Capital Improvement Plan, the School Board will add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed residential development, if it is funded through the developer's proportionate share mitigation contributions. Mitigation options may Include, but are not limited to: a. Contribution of land or payment for land acquisition suitable for and in conjunction with, the provision of additional school capacity; or b. Mitigation banking based on the construction of a educational facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits; or c. Provide modular or permanent student stations acceptable for use as an educational facilities; or d. Provide additional student stations through the remodeling of existing buildings acceptable for use as an educational facility; or VII -5 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT e. Construction or expansion of permanent student stations at the impacted school within the CSA; or f. Construction of an educational facility in advance of the time set forth in the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. D. Recognize for mitigation measures (a) thru (f) above, that the estimated cost to construct the mitigating capacity will reflect the estimated future construction costs at the time of the anticipated construction. Improvements contributed by the developer shall receive school impact fee credit. E. Apply an impact fee credit against the proportionate share mitigation total. Credits will be given for that portion of the impact fees that would have been used to fund the improvements on which the proportionate fair share contribution was calculated. The portion of impact fees available for the credit will be based on the historic distribution of impact fee funds to the school type (elementary, middle, high) in the appropriate CSA. Impact fee credits shall be calculated at the same time as the applicant's proportionate share obligation is calculated. Any school impact fee credit based on proportionate fair share contributions for a proposed development cannot be transferred to any other parcel or parcels of real property within the CSA. F. Do not amend or refund a proportionate share mitigation contribution after final site plan or plat approval to reflect a reduction In planned or constructed residential density. G. Recognize that any proportionate share mitigation must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity improvement identified In the School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. H. Require upon conclusion of the negotiation period, that a second Determination Letter be issued. If mitigation is agreed to, the School Board shall issue a new Determination Letter approving the development subject to those mitigation measures agreed to by the local government, developer and the School Board. Prior to, site plan approval, final subdivision approval or the functional equivalent, the mitigation measures shall be memorialized In an enforceable and binding agreement with the local government, the School Board and the Developer that specifically details mitigation provisions to be paid for by the developer and the relevant terms and conditions. If mitigation is not agreed to, the Determination Letter shall detail why any mitigation proposals were rejected and why the development is not in compliance with school concurrency requirements. A SCALD indicating either that adequate capacity is available, or that there is not a negotiated proportionate share mitigation settlement following the ninety (90) day negotiation period as described in Section 12.7($) of the 2007 !LA constitutes final agency action by the School Board for purposes of Chapter 120, F.S. LFAI I ff-i CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Policy 1.4.6: Appeal Process. Recognize that a person substantially affected by the School Board's adequate capacity determination made as a part of the School Concurrency Process, may appeal such determination through the process provided in Chapter 120, F.S. Policy 1.4.7: Consideration of Adjacent Concurrency Service Areas. Consider if the projected student growth from a residential development causes the adopted LOS to be exceeded in the CSA, that an adjacent CSA which is contiguous with and touches the boundary of the concurrency service areas within which the proposed development is located, be evaluated for available capacity. Conduct an adjacency evaluation review as follows: 1. In conducting the adjacency review, the School Board shall first use the adjacent CSA with the most available capacity to evaluate projected enrollment impact and, if necessary, shall continue to the next adjacent CSA with the next most available capacity in order to ensure maximum utilization of school capacity to the greatest extent possible. 2. Consistent with Rule 6A- 3.0171, F.A.C., at no time shall the shift of impact to an adjacent CSA result in a total morning or afternoon transportation time of either elementary or secondary students to exceed fifty (50) minutes or one (1) hour, respectively. The transportation time shall be determined by the School Board transportation routing system and measured from the school to the center of the subject parcel /plat in the amendment application, along the most direct improved public roadway free from major hazards. Objective 1.5: Procedure for Annual Update of Capital Improvements Element. The City shall amend its Capital Improvement Element (CIE) to include that portion of the adopted School Board's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan which deals with capacity improvements. Policy 1.5.1: Annual Update of Capital Improvements Element. Update on an annual basis, no later than December 1'I of each year, the City's Capital Improvements Element to include that portion of the School Board's annual update of their financially feasible Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan related to capacity improvements. However, the City shall not have the obligation, nor the responsibility for funding or accomplishing the School Board Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. Policy 1.5.2: Addition of New Financially Feasible Fifth Year Projects During Each Update. Include with each annual update to the Capital Improvements Element a new fifth year with its financially feasible school capacity projects that have been adopted by the School District in its update of the Five -Year Capital Improvement Schedule. Policy 1.5.3: Compliance with Florida Statute in Timing of Capital Improvements Element Update. Amend the City's Capital Improvements Element to reflect changes to the School District's Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan in compliance with timing requirements of Florida Statutes.

Vil - 10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT B. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to support the timely provision of the Seminole County School Board (School Board)'s constitutional and statutory obligation and sovereignty to provide a uniform system of free public schools on a countywide basis. It is not the intent to require the School Board to confer with, or obtain the consent of, the City, as to whether that obligation has been satisfied. Additionally, this Element is not intended to be construed to impose any duty or obligation on the City for the School Board's constitutional or statutory obligations. The City does not have the authority to directly provide school facilities, but is required by State Law to work with the School Board to address the coordination of public school facility planning with land use planning and development approvals. The City continues to be responsible for approving or denying comprehensive plan amendments and development approvals within its own jurisdiction, and nothing herein represents or authorizes a transfer of any of this authority to the School Board. Legislation enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature mandated a comprehensive approach to school planning by revising laws that govern both school districts and local government planning. A coordinated effort was undertaken by the local jurisdictions of Seminole County and the School Board. Preparation of a new Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrenry including procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals and school planning was the first step in this process and was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, City Commissions, and the School Board in 2007 and amended in January 2008. The 2005 Legislation also included adoption of a Public School Facilities Element, consistent with those adopted by the other local governments within the County and consistent with the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency As Amended January 2008 (2007 iLA), Sections 163.3177(12) and 163.3180 F.S. and Rule 9J- 5.025, F.A.C. and which describes a proportionate -share mitigation methodology. Additional amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan required by the 2005 legislation include: Adoption of the Level of Service (LOS) standards applicable county -wide that establish maximum permitted school utilization rates relative to capacity into the Capital Improvements Element; • Adoption of the financially feasible Public School Capital Facilities Program addressing school capacity improvements into the Capital Improvements Element that is adopted as part of the School Board's overall Capital Improvements Program; Amendments to revise objectives and policies that address the City's process of coordination with the School Board in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element.

ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1. Identifying Sites for Future School Facilities PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT The 2007 ILA provides a process for identifying future school sites. The process includes, at a minimum, semi - annual meetings of the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) that can be used to coordinate land use and school facility planning. The next step in that process is a committee created by the 2007 ILA, the Public Schools Facilities Planning Committee ( PSFPC). The PSFPC has several responsibilities, including review of PTAC findings and submittal of recommendations to the School Board. In order to ensure that the redevelopment and revitalization of older portions of unincorporated Seminole County can continue, the issue of sites will continually need to be addressed as part of the ongoing cooperative planning effort specified by the 2007 ILA. 2. Population and Student Projections In accordance with the 2007 ILA, the City and the School Board will share population projections and projections of student enrollment for use in their planning efforts. The 2007 ILA specifies that the parties will use student enrollment projections provided by the School Board. However, the source of student enrollment projections is based on the Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent ( COFTE) cohort projections Issued by the Department of Education in July of each year. These COFTE projections are related to past enrollment trends and do not consider such factors as reduced land availability for future growth and development. As the City grows closer to reaching build -out, these projections will become less reliable. 3. Proportionate Share Mitigation Efforts and Alternative Mechanisms for Ensuring School Capacity The 2007 ILA outlined the process by which the School Board may entertain proportionate share mitigation options. Proportionate share mitigation allows a developer to pay that portion of the cost of providing capacity in a school facility that is necessary to serve that particular development or redevelopment project. The methodology for calculating a developer's proportionate share as specified in the 2007 ILA is included in this Element and will be added to the City's Land Development Regulations as part of the Concurrency Management System. Mitigation options offer a variety of alternatives, including construction of a charter school by the developer. If a mitigation proposal fails, the 2007 ILA offers an appeal process specified by Chapter 120, Florida Statutes (F.S.) as an alternative. Another allowable alternative mechanism for mitigation impacts on schools is the establishment of an Educational Facilities Benefit District as allowed by Section 1013.355, F.S. This option permits school districts and local governments to enter into separate interlocal agreements to arrange for financing a school to allow redevelopment, revitalization or other development efforts, when property owners involved agree to this special assessment. Osceola County adopted an ordinance creating such a District in 2003. Should redevelopment and revitalization efforts in the City be unable to proceed, even with proportionate share mitigation, further examination of the use of an Educational Facilities Benefit District may be needed.
