Collaborative planning processes and comprehensive plans are the building blocks of such great communities. The City's Comprehensive Plan has proven to be a good guide for developing the City. Generally the objectives have been met and the policies implemented. However, the Florida Statutes describes the local government comprehensive planning program as a continuous and dynamic process. An Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is required every seven years by each local government to assess the progress of implementing the local government's comprehensive plan. [The EAR process is designed to respond to changes in state, regional, and local policies on planning and growth management, changing conditions and trends, to ensure effective intergovernmental coordination, and to identify major issues regarding the community's achievement of its goals.] Florida law establishes minimum requirements for the City's planning data to ensure predictability, certainty, and integrity in the local growth management process. The City's Comprehensive Plan must be amended to address the needs of the City into the next planning period. The EAR was developed over a 18-month period and involved numerous public workshops. During the spring of 2007, the City identified six Major Issues as the core emphasis of the EAR [Section 163.3191(1)(c), F.S.]: These included: May 26, 2009 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 501 Page 3 • Greenway Interchange Employment District • Elderly Housing & Medical Care • Affordable and Work-Force Housing (Section 163.3177(6)(f), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.010 F.A.C.) • State Road 434 Corridor • Population, Housing Density and Greenspace • Redevelopment of West Side Data was collected and analyzed on each issue as well as an assessment of how things could have been done differently to better achieve the goals, objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan as they related to the major issues. In addition to the analysis of the major issues section, a forthright evaluation and assessment was provided with respect to each policy of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The EAR also addressed the requirements of Section 163.3191(2), Florida Statutes. These included population growth and changes in land area, the location of development that occurred relative to where it was anticipated in the comprehensive plan, the extent of vacant and developable land, the financial feasibility of implementing the comprehensive plan and in providing necessary infrastructure through the Capital Improvements Element. Winter Springs submitted its Adopted EAR to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) on April 17, 2008. Subsequently, the City received notice from the DCA on June 23, 2008, that the EAR was determined to be Sufficient pursuant to Section 163.3191(2). The DCA also commended the City's efforts in preparation of the EAR and indicated support for many of the recommendations made in the EAR. The sufficiency finding is the first step in a two-step process. The next step is adoption of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings of the EAR. The statutory deadline for Adoption of the EAR-Based Comprehensive Plan Amendments is 18 months after the determination of Sufficiency for the EAR, or no later than the Regular Meeting of the City Commission scheduled for December 14, 2009. CONSIDERATIONS: This is the year of the City's 50th anniversary and is an important milestone. Winter Springs can take pride in the city that it has created. However, as we plan for the next 25 years of our City, we are faced with new challenges- challenges that in some cases are the result of our past successes. The City's 2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) identified these challenges and has laid the groundwork for the proposed EAR-Based Amendments. Attention has been given, to creating a document that is clear and easy to use. Existing policies have been edited to emphasize the action required by the City and an attempt has been made to eliminate unnecessary words. Goals, obj ectives and policies have been placed at the beginning of each element to emphasize their importance and to make it easy to turn to them quickly, for reference. Following the goals, objectives and policies are the supporting data and analysis, which is provided in a descriptive narrative. Although many local governments have moved away from including this material within the adopted element, it has been retained herein, because it is an excellent resource, not only for Staff, but for anyone wishing to learn more about the City. May 26, 2009 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 501 Page 4 The EAR-Based Amendments include proposed text amendments to all nine (9) of the Elements which include the Future Land Use Element; Transportation Element; Housing Element; Infrastructure Element; Recreation and Open Space Element; Conservation Element; Public School Facilities Element; Intergovernmental Coordination Element; and Capital Improvements Element. Text changes for all Elements include new and revised policies, a few deleted policies, and updating of supporting data and analysis including tables, maps, and exhibits. In addition, new policies have been added to address the new statutory requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability. Changes were made from the initial draft presented at the joint meetings of the City Commission and Local Planning A ency as a result of the directives from those meetings and further refined as a result of meeting with the City Attorney Additionally, as part of the Local Planning_Agency review Staff prepared supplemental data and asked for consideration of this data in their recommendation to the City Commission As a result the Local Planning Agency has included the following revisions in their recommendation of transmittal of Ordinance 2009-08 to the DCA: • Greeneway Interchange District Floor Area Ratio (FAR) at a 1 0 Under certain conditions to be defined in the land development code the 1 0 FAR can be exceeded through the use of development bonuses, but the total FAR shall not exceed 2.0• • A minimum average density of seven (7.0) dua within the Town Center with language allowing, an allowance for larger units under certain conditions• and • Density and intensity calculations would be based on "gross acreage" rather than "developable acreage" to better support our goals for environmental stewardship and eenspace preservation Gross acreage is to be defined in the land development code • Changes to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM): Several changes to the Future Land Use Map are proposed. Most of these changes are on City-owned property and are changes to a Recreation and Open Space Future Land Use . 1) The recreation and open space designation on the FLUM is smaller than the park acreage in use (Sam Smith Park and Moss Rd. Park), or is not indicated at all (Fruitwood Park, Torcaso Park, Foxmoor Unit 2 Open Space & Foxmoor Unit 3 Open Space). 2) Several City-owned parcels within the FP&L corridor are proposed for the beginnings of a larger trail network, and lastly 3) Golf Side Villas (townhomes) and two single family detached parcels on Northern Way were developed in residential use, but the map was never amended to reflect the permitted change. All of Golf Side Villas is proposed as High Density Residential and Lot 91 & 92 of Tuscawilla Unit 12 is proposed as Rural Residential. A MAP of these proposed changes with a spreadsheet identifying each parcel is provided as "Exhibit A" to the Ordinance. Staff has also met with the City Attorney and made additional changes as needed to make the policies more clear and defensible. A sampling of the significant changes are listed below by Element; However, this is only a summary, and does not represent all of the proposed changes. [A comprehensive listing of all of the proposed new and revised policies was previously distributed along with hard copies of the elements and was May 26, 2009 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 501 Page 5 utilized for discussion purposes during the Joint Meetings held with the Local Planning Agency and City Commission in April.] The attached EAR-Amendments have been revised to reflect the consensus garnered during these meetings. 1-Future Land Use Element- Policies have been added to address land use efficiency including allowing a vertical mix of uses within the SR 434 Corridor. Several policies have been added related to Accessory Dwelling Units. Residential homes fronting along arterial roadways will be permitted to include alive-work or commercial use. Residential use in the Greeneway Interchange District has been restricted to 25% of any one vertically integrated, mixed use structure, and the previously prescribed density of 12 dua has been removed. The Floor Area Ratio in the Greeneway Interchange District will allow density bonuses to increase the FAR from 1.0 to 2.0. Target Industries in the Greenway Interchange District have been revised to include the target industries identified for the SeminoleWAY regional effort. Buildings in the Town Center will be required to include at least 2 stories. 2- Transportation Element- Policies have been added to support multimodal alternatives and interconnecting transportation networks. There is an added emphasis on trails and a policy directing the establishment of a Trails Advisory Committee/Board. (Previously there were no policies addressing trails within Winter Springs.) New policies call for coordination with FDOT to work toward the reduction of speed on SR 434 in the Town Center, and to determine the feasibility of establishing a concurrency management alternative for the Town Center and Greenway Interchange District. Anew policy supports the widening of S.R. 434 to 4-lanes from S.R. 417 to S.R. 426 in support of the Greeneway Interchange District/SeminoleWAY. The City will seek to establish SR 434 as a policy constrained roadway between US 17-92 and Vistawilla. 3- Housing Element- Cost-effective energy-efficient technologies will be encouraged. Policies have been added to address energy efficiency and sustainability and encourage the implementation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) principles, into construction practices. Homes which front onto arterial roadways can now be used as live-work units. Substandard and deteriorated housing conditions will be subject to the International Property Management Code. Developers of single family detached residential units will be encouraged to include accessory dwelling units (garage apartments) on 20% of the units. Visioning workshops with stakeholders will help to identify areas for redevelopment and lead to the development of small areas plans. 4- Infrastructure Element- Addition of language addressing the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements that limit allowable pollutants in surface waters. Promotes intergovernmental cooperation on the Lake Jesup Surface Water Augmentation Project. Revises the City's level of service standard for municipal solid waste at 3.7 pounds per person per day. Directs the City to explore the feasibility of a resource protection ordinance, which would provide incentives for developers to minimize impervious surfaces. May 26, 2009 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 501 Page 6 5- Conservation Element- Incorporates policies addressing the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Promotes Low Impact Development practices to reduce the impact of stormwater and encourages the provision of environmentally-friendly features such as "green roofs", cisterns, water gardens, porous pavement, and natural landscapes (with native plants), as appropriate. Encourages the preservation of the rich biological diversity of the plant and animal life in the area and complete anarea-wide evaluation to identify regionally environmentally significant areas that should be set aside as protected conservation lands. Encourages the use of Waterwise plant material in all parks and City facilities. 6- Recreation and Open Space Element- The entire Recreation and Open Space Element has been revised to be more clear and new policies have been added to areas previously overlooked (such as trails). To better reflect the growing needs of the City for parkland, and in support of the desire for increased greenspace as further discussed in the EAR, the Overall Parkland Level of Service (LOS) acreage has been changed from 5 acres per 1,000 residents to 8 acres per 1,000 residents. Additionally, a LOS for Open Space has been included along with a definition from the Florida Statutes, to provide clarity. This LOS has been set at 4 acres per 1,000 residents to encourage the provision of public open space in Winter Springs. Anew policy directs the establishment of a citizen's Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee or Board to review parks and recreation facilities and programs and make appropriate recommendations to the City Commission. Recreational preferences and facility requirements are important factors to be determined by the local population, not by mandated Level of Service. 7- Public School Facilities Element- Clarifies the description of land use and zoning categories where public schools can locate (also in FLUE). 8- Intergovernmental Coordination Element- Directs continued involvement in intergovernmental coordination committees such as the PTAC to ensure consistency between comprehensive planning programs and issues of adjacent municipalities and Seminole County. Collaboration on the regional SeminoleWAY initiative. Continued participation in the US 17-92 Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) through intergovernmental coordination committees. Coordination with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) regarding issues associated with S.R. 434 including a sufficient reduction in speed limit, as well as the potential for arterial reclassification, in the Town Center to reflect the pedestrian-friendly environment being created in the Town Center, and the establishment of a policy constraint against widening of S.R. 434 between US 17-92 and Vistawilla. 9- Capital Improvements Element- The LOS standard has been revised for both solid waste and parks, this policy has been amended to reflect those changes.

Discussion. Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development Department reviewed some preliminary information with those in attendance. The HOUSING ELEMENT was reviewed first. Much discussion. City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese noted, "Policy 2.1.8: which we talked about -there is that reference in there that `The City has adopted the International Property Management Code 2006 edition'. You might want to make that language a little looser because that Code gets updated from time to time and the City may adopt additional Codes from time to time." Attorney Garganese suggested, "Will maintain -certain Property Maintenance Codes including, but not limited to the International Property Maintenance Code -keep those Codes up to date. Some language like that would probably be better." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey referenced Policy 2.2.11: and suggested the wording as noted may "Open a dialogue on the Compatibility Ordinance." With comments, Mayor Bush asked the City Commission, "Are you all happy with the way it is stated?" No objections were noted. Discussion. Tape 1/Side B Further discussion.

The RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT was reviewed next. Discussion. With discussion on a Trail Network and Policy 1.6.4:, Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Vice Chairman Poe said, "I know in most instances, we tried to take the word `Require' out and I think `Encourage' might be a better term?" Commissioner Rick Brown stated, "I would agree." Mayor Bush added, "I think the recommendation of `Encourage' takes care of that." No objections were voiced. Further discussion. Discussion followed with Mr. Chuck Pula, Director, Parks and Recreation Department on Policy 1.1.2: which references a Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. Next, discussion ensued on Policy 1.1.12:, a potential Water Taxi; and Lake Jesup. Mayor Bush noted, "1.1.12: -leave it the way it is? Change it?" Commissioner Brown stated, "I like it." Commissioner Gary Bonner stated, "Yes." No objections were noted. On potential funding for a possible Water Taxi, City Manager Kevin L. Smith stated, "We're looking into that Mayor." Attorney Garganese referenced Policy 1.1.7: and commented on the map, explaining, "That has been dramatically changed by negotiations and revised Development Agreements as to the locations of those parks already." Furthermore, Attorney Garganese suggested to Staff, "You may want to update that." Discussion continued. Tape 2/Side A Continuing on Policy 1.1.7:, Attorney Garganese remarked, "I can go back and talk to Staff rather than take up the Commission's time." Mayor Bush said, "At this point, we remove it; and if you and the Staff come up with something, you can put it back. Okay with you Charles (Lacey)?" Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey stated, "Fine with me." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 6, 2009 PAGE 4 OF 7 Attorney Garganese then stated, "Policy 1.1.13: refers to this map but some of the parks as you know -are outside of the boundaries of the City, so you may want to clarify that, in your Policy." Ms. Sahlstrom suggested, "Would it work if we just change it to say, `Those City lands identified..." Attorney Garganese remarked, "...Yes -amend the Map as well." Attorney Garganese also stated, "The current Comprehensive Plan has a very good map series of existing City Parks that you might want to take a look at." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey suggested, "Shouldn't we modify the Policy -just to put a phrase in there to say something - `In the City limits' or `Those that are owned by the City of Winter Springs'?" Commissioner Bonner said, "Right." Attorney Garganese agreed and stated, "That would certainly clarify it." Ms. Sahlstrom noted, "Alright." Attorney Garganese continued, "Then take a look at that map series that's currently in the Comprehensive Plan." "MOTION TO APPROVE AS AMENDED." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BONNER. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BROWN. DISCUSSION. MAYOR BUSH STATED, MOTION TO APPROVE "WITH THE COMMENTS THAT WE HAVE JUST HEARD."

Mr. Stevenson suggested alternative language - "Shall encourage to the extent practical, the removal of the non-native invasive plant material." Attorney Garganese recommended, "May require to the extent practical -the periodic removal of non- native..." Mr. Stevenson stated, "...Right." Regarding Policy 1.4.3:, Mr. Stevenson explained, "We'd like to propose a change in the language here in order to make us consistent with St. Johns [River Water Management District]." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 6, 2009 PAGE 5 OF 7 Mr. Stevenson noted, "Instead of requiring a minimum of twenty-five feet (25'), we would like to add language and if you would allow us to craft the exact language but basically, that language would be in concert with St. Johns [River Water Management District] requiring an average of twenty-five feet (25') from the edge of the Wetland on this particular Policy." Furthermore, Mr. Stevenson added, "Fifteen (15) minimum with an average of twenty- five and that would mirror what St. Johns [River Water Management District] currently uses. So, if they get their St. Johns [River Water Management District] Permit, they will be in compliance with our Comp[rehensive] Plan." Commissioner Bonner stated, "I am good with that." Mayor Bush asked, "Everybody good with that?" No objections were voiced. "MOTION TO APPROVE - AS DISCUSSED." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR KREBS. DISCUSSION. MAYOR BUSH STATED, "MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP." VOTE: COMMISSIONER HOVEY: AYE COMMISSIONER BROWN: AYE DEPUTY MAYOR KREBS: AYE COMMISSIONER BONNER: AYE MOTION CARRIED. Lastly, the INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT was discussed. Discussion. On Policy 1.3.6: Attorney Garganese asked, "Do you want to move that out and make it a general Objective or Policy?" Mr. Kip Lockcuff, P.E., Director, Public Works/Utility Department suggested, "Either that or repeat it in the other sections." Attorney Garganese suggested, "I would make it a general Objective or Goal." Commissioner Brown suggested, "Make it a general so it overlays all of it or make it - repeating all of it..." Attorney Garganese noted, "...Water, Sewer, Reclaimed." Commissioner Brown added, "Whatever is more expedient." Attorney Garganese noted, "We can work on that drafting detail; but it just needs to be clarified." Reclaimed water, potable water, wells and consistency with St. Johns River Water Management District was discussed next. For now, it was agreed to leave these considerations as they were noted. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 6, 2009 PAGE 6 OF 7 Further discussion. "MOTION TO APPROVE - AS DISCUSSED." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.

Manager Smith said he could take care of this. Discussion followed on the recent CALNO (Council of Local Governments in Seminole County) meeting. Deputy Mayor Krebs commented on the City's Lock Box program and a similar Seminole County program called "Project Lifesaver". With further comments on Seminole County's "Project Lifesaver" program, Mayor Bush said to Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Vice Chairman Poe, "Is that something that - parents of SWOP (Seminole Work Opportunity Program) might be interested in knowing about?" Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Vice Chairman Poe responded, "Probably Sir. I could certainly spread the word. I am familiar with it. I know about it but I don't know if there are costs involved..." Mayor Bush noted, "...Might be good to find that out..." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Vice Chairman Poe added, "...I will do that." Next, Mayor Bush commented on a recent meeting that he and Manager Smith had related to a Seminole County High School Recycling Program and said, "Kevin (Smith) has done a lot of work since then. He will -update you all on this, one-on-one, when he has a chance."

Community Development Department -Planning Division Requests That The City Commission Review The Recommendations Of The Local Planning Agency Related To The Draft Evaluation And Appraisal Report (EAR)- Based Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Provide Comment, And Give Direction On Desired Revisions. Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development Department began the discussion with a PowerPoint presentation. Discussion. The TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT was reviewed first. Further discussion. Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department addressed the City Commission and stated, "If we look at the State Roads, there are some roads that we would probably support widening -when it came up. (State Road) 419 which is a two- lane arterial; and (State Road) 434 east of the (State Road) 417 -both two-lanes; they probably would need to be four-lanes. For the four-laned section of (State Road) 434, that's where I think there might be some concern - do we want asix-lane arterial roadway essentially bisecting our City? Probably not. There are some Policies in here, this is one of them that would give us support to opposing such a project. Having said that, there are no plans in place on any of those State Roads to do any widening in the near future -just so the Commission and the Board is aware of that." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey said, "I would just emphasize that that is a Policy you might want to look at to make sure you concur with. I mean that was the recommendation of the Engineer and of the LPA (Local Planning Agency), and just for reference and cross-references, the more explicit statement in Policy 1.9.9: that says to discourage the widening of (State Road) 434 west of Vistawilla Drive. I think that is an existing Policy of the City, but since this is a new compilation of the Commission, you might just want to look at that and make sure you affirm that decision." Discussion. Further discussion followed on bringing in more businesses and traffic. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 3 OF 13 Ms. Sahlstrom commented on Policy 1.1.8: and asked, "Whether you would want to specify instead of just saying "West of Vistawilla, (Drive), if you would want to specify, from (US Highway) 17-92 to Vistawilla (Drive); so it's clear that it is talking about a certain segment..." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "...I think that sounds clearer..." Ms. Sahlstrom continued, "Because that's not clear which segment you're talking about." With further comments, Commissioner Gary Bonner said, "Establishing this in our Comprehensive Plan is sending a message. I just don't know if it's a message that we will win -the day with. I think the answer is really addressed in - 1.5: where we talk about multimodal transportation. I wonder if there needs to be a reference in 1.1.8:, that our vision for the -alternative - to widening is to really encourage regional thinking and multimodal as the alternative to simply putting down more asphalt. And I don't know if that is the right place in the document to -put such a statement in the ground." Continuing, Commissioner Bonner said, "Not only do we not want to put down more asphalt, but we really would like to partner with our neighbors to really go more aggressively in a direction of multimodal." Deputy Mayor Krebs referenced Policy 1.1.8: and said, "Do you want to change the language to say (US Highway) 17-92 to Vistawilla (Drive), so that it is clearer?" Commissioner Bonner remarked, "I support that." Commissioner Jean Hovey commented, "Yes." No objections were noted." Deputy Mayor Krebs then stated, "Please change that." Ms. Sahlstrom then added, "And that would also affect Policy 1.9.9:" Deputy Mayor Krebs said, "So we'll take out the west of Vistawilla (Drive) and substitute (US Highway) 17-92 to Vistawilla (Drive)." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey added, "That would be in both Policy 1.1.8: and 1.9.9:." Deputy Mayor Krebs remarked, "Right." Discussion. Tape 1/Side B Attorney Garganese suggested, "Give some examples rather than using `Absolutely warranted' -one example Brian (Fields) mentioned is that the Properly Owner doesn't have any access to local roads so in that case; they would be entitled to a driveway cut on a collector road because that is what the law would require." Furthermore, Attorney Garganese noted, "The other issue would be `What if someone that had one driveway cut on a collector road wanted to redesign that driveway cut on the collector road, so they had one before and then one after, and they didn't have access to a local road, would that be allowed -they wanted to move it, they wanted to make it safer - would that be allowed?" CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 4 OF 13 Ms. Sahlstrom remarked, "That's a good point, because it does say `New' - I think we can add some additional language." Attorney Garganese noted, "Absolute means absolute. It's a very strong and harsh word; and I would recommend not using that term." Attorney Garganese suggested, "Unless necessary, because no other access to a local road is available, and then I think you may want to add another sentence that `This Policy doesn't prohibit redesigning an existing driveway cut on a collector road, providing there is no other access on a local road'." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey asked, "Does the Commission agree with that language?" Commissioner Sally McGinnis said, "I do." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "Yes." No objections were voiced. Attorney Garganese referenced Policy 1.3.3: and noted, "It says, `require a new development and substantial redevelopment to connect to existing adjacent roadways, bicycle facilities, and sidewalks...'; and we talked about that at the last Meeting -they're in place so it's reasonable to require the connectivity. Then it says, `or otherwise "stub- out" to future development sites...'." Attorney Garganese then explained, "I read that, if there are existing adjacent roadways, then they don't have to provide connectivity because there is an `or', they can just "stub-out" the future development sites? That doesn't read right to me." Continuing, Attorney Garganese recommended, "You might want to put a `.' there and then maybe have another concept there. Yes, get rid of the word `or' and then in addition, require "stub-outs" to future development sites, except when such connections would be..." Attorney Garganese further recommended, "You might just want to use a simple word like `unreasonable'." Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey noted, "This would be an area where Commissioner Bonner's notice of the word `Require' might deserve softening where you're stubbing out for some future thing, to soften that from `require' to `encourage' might be appropriate." Commissioner Bonner suggested, "Require' where `existing', `encourage' where `planned', is that what you're suggesting?" Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey stated, "Conceptually, that's the notion that I'm signing onto." Continuing, "I was also struck in this entire Element, the number of `require's'; when I went through my final reading of it, and I actually flagged this `requires' as one that I thought could be softened, and now that Mr. Garganese has pointed out this disparity, I think going to existing development should be required. I agree with that, but for the future, that is a pretty onerous burden." Commissioner Bonner said, "That is my concern, is the nature of that future burden." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 5 OF 13 Ms. Sahlstrom said, "Our [State Road] 434 Overlay District requires within the Code Cross-Access Easements. But, because it is Code language, it can be very dependent on other things. Because Barclay Reserve was looked at -for being a gated subdivision, it was -more difficult to interconnect it with across-Access Easement. And of course at this point in time, we still don't know that that property to the west will become - so, there's some language in place. It just depends on what you want. I personally think that we need to require Cross-Access Easements to help to alleviate the traffic on [State Road] 434 and to support interconnectivity." Deputy Mayor Krebs said, "I think we need to `require' it as well. I think you can `encourage' it, but I think encouraging isn't going to get you there. I think requiring it will get you there." Commissioners McGinnis and Hovey stated, "I agree." Discussion. Mr. Kip Lockcuff, P.E., Director, Public Works/Utility Department remarked, "From our experience, `require', you cannot negotiate away with Developer Agreements. So, I would suggest you maybe require it be adopted in the Code, which Staff can still enforce, but the Commission have latitude in a DA (Developer Agreement) to consider the merits. Because we get hammered time and time again, that if it's in the Comp[rehensive] Plan you cannot change it, you cannot negotiate it. Period -you have no latitude." Attorney Garganese stated, "There are a couple things going on here. The first one is connectivity to existing roadways and bicycle facilities, etc. and then the other part which appears we may break out into another -Policy or sub-policy, just talks about connectivity to what future adjacent development sites, right? That's two (2) different issues. Kip (Lockcuff) brings up a good point -about trying not to tie your hands in your Comp[rehensive] Plan Policy to provide some flexibility. I suggest you just break it out into two (2) separate Policies, or two (2) sub-policies, within 1.3.3: and the Commission can decide whether you want to put `encourage' or `require' connectivity to adjacent development sites." With further comments, Attorney Garganese noted, "You want to provide some flexibility at times because you can't use a crystal ball and determine what the future holds for every single development." Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "I personally think that the -last part of the sentence gives that wiggle room that's being discussed. For example, if the adjacent property had conservation area, that would be inappropriate to have a connection. That would be an example of that -but rather than having it deferred to the Code. I think the Policy needs to be in place that doesn't defer to the Code." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 6 OF 13 Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey suggested, "`patently' is just a vague standard. You should strike `patently' and call it `inappropriate'." Deputy Mayor Krebs noted, "`Patently' is out." Discussion continued. The word "required" was further noted throughout 1.5:. Much discussion. Attorney Garganese said, "Generally, the Comp[rehensive] Plan is Goals, Policies and Objectives, broadly written, because they're Policies. Land Development Regulations are the implementing vehicle by which you implement the Policies. The more stringent you make the Comp[rehensive] Plan, the more difficult it is to change. It requires State review. Furthermore, there are organizations that are trying to get on the ballot - Constitutional Amendments that would prohibit local governments from amending Comprehensive Plans without going to the Voters for approval. The State of Florida legislature talks about limiting local government's ability to maybe amend Comprehensive Plans once ayear - so, Comprehensive Plan is broad Policies. There are instances where you want to probably be emphatic, because Comprehensive Plans actually hold more weight than local Land Development Regulations, because everything has to be consistent with the Comp[rehensive] Plan, but it's a judgment call on where you want to be emphatic and where you don't. If you really think you've got the answers and you want to be emphatic about it, then sure, put in here, a prohibition or a requirement. But - if you're not sure where this thing is going to go and you can't be emphatic, then you want to provide maybe a little bit more wiggle room; so, when you get around to addressing it in your Land Development Regulations, hopefully by then you'll have more of the answers and more flexibility to change it." Discussion. Commissioner Bonner noted, "Listening to our Engineer, I don't think it's a quid pro quo approach, where we are going to force Developers to go through the design process and then they can write us a check, for things they are already paying Impact Fees for, I think is what I heard said; so, I think we just need -either strike the word `require', and turn this back into `encourage', or we need to go back to some other methodology that gives an appeal process and/or the ability for our Code people to do what they do." With further comments, Attorney Garganese suggested, "So, if there are situations where it should be `required', put it in the Land Development Code; and if you don't think it's required, don't put it in the Land Development Regulations." Deputy Mayor Krebs said, "That is a good idea." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Yes." No objections were voiced. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 7 OF 13 Discussion. Quid pro quo was further addressed. Tape 2/Side A Ms. Sahlstrom suggested that a developmental process needs to be outlined. Further discussion followed on quid pro quo and sidewalks. Mr. Fields explained, "The question is do you want to have any wiggle room, either in the Comp[rehensive] Plan or by deferring it to the Land Development Code?" Mr. Fields added, "It's a Policy decision. Any wiggle room at all in sidewalks?" Manager Smith remarked, "I think I am hearing the Board and the Commission express a strong desire to have sidewalks; and I think 1.5.3:, the first part gives us that language. I think the -rub is the quid pro quo language and I think what Staff - what I am saying to you is that appropriate location for the quid pro quo language would not be in 1.5.3:, but perhaps for future discussion in some other mechanism, albeit a Development Agreement or other avenue." Furthermore, Manager Smith added, "The language is adequate as written except for the last paragraph that addresses the quid pro quo and I would recommend again, that not be there." Commissioner McGinnis commented, "Okay. I agree." Deputy Mayor Krebs noted, "Okay." Transit shelters and LYNX was discussed next. On the issues of shelters, Mr. Fields suggested, "I would have the development build the shelter, whether it is at their site or somewhere else." Mr. Fields proposed some suggested language as, "Transit shelter or equivalent, multimodal facility at a location to be determined by the City." Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "That is good." No objections were voiced. Attorney Garganese noted "I don't even see anything in this TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT that provides any sort of incentive for someone to have a well planned multimodal project." Commissioner Bonner suggested, "Your point is, that the need for multimodal should be..." Attorney Garganese added, "'...Clearly evident." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 8 OF 13 Ms. Sahlstrom asked about the status of Policy 1.6.2: and said, "I heard Brian's (Fields) suggestion which -was construct a transit shelter or equivalent, multimodal facility at a location to be determined by the City." Deputy Mayor Krebs asked, "Commissioners, any problem with that?" Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "I have no problem with that." No objections were noted. Further discussion. Ms. Sahlstrom advised the City Commission, "In this document, we did not include the maps that go along with it. We're finalizing those and they will be part of the Public Hearing process, so you might want to particularly look at those during the Public Hearing process to make sure you don't have any changes at that time."

VOTE: COMMISSIONER McGINNIS: AYE COMMISSIONER HOVEY: AYE DEPUTY MAYOR KREBS: AYE COMMISSIONER BONNER: AYE MOTION CARRIED. The FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT was discussed next. Discussion ensued on F.A.R. (Floor Area Ratio) and net and gross acreage. Further discussion. Attorney Garganese suggested, "You may want to put a Policy in here that gross acre will be defined by the City Commission pursuant to Land Development Regulations and then that will force you if this gets approved, to actually come up with - a definition." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "I think we should do that." Commissioner McGinnis also said, "I do too." Attorney Garganese added, "Or you can change it - `per developable acre', and define `developable acre'." Deputy Mayor Krebs asked, "Can we do that?" Continuing, Attorney Garganese suggested the wording as - "The City Commission will - adopt a definition for -gross acre in the Land Development Code; or maybe you want to just change it generically. Instead of -putting `gross' or `net', just put `acre' or `developable acre'; and then the City Commission will define `developable acre' in the Land Development Regulations." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 9 OF 13 Discussion. Furthermore, Attorney Garganese suggested, "You want to strike `gross' and change it to `developable' and then put a Policy in here that you will establish what that means in the Land Development Regulations." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "That is perfect." No objections were voiced. Further discussion. Attorney Garganese noted, "There is a specific Statute that addresses -the requiring of sewer hook-ups -rather than bog the Commission down, I want to go back and look at that; because it may be incomplete." Policy 1.4.4: was discussed next and Commissioner Bonner asked, "Did the Committee feel it was necessary to really make it specific and have only one (1) Workshop as opposed to have the latitude to hold that Workshop periodically?" With discussion, Commissioner Bonner suggested, "It may just be a matter of striking the word `a' - striking the `a' out of there." On Policy 1.5.4:, Ms. Sahlstrom remarked, "Instead of `located along' would be `fronting onto'." Deputy Mayor Krebs said "Okay." Commissioner Bonner also stated, "Okay" and brought up the issue of "Compatibility." Discussion. Further discussion. Policy 1.5.9: was addressed next, and Attorney Garganese said, "I would prefer to leave the language, the City Commission may adopt Panning Agreements with Seminole County and other neighboring cities rather than the proposed language for the second sentence." Deputy Mayor Krebs and Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Okay." Related to 1.5:, Attorney Garganese recommended, "I think the original Policy makes sense." With further comments, Attorney Garganese suggested, "Future development must be consistent with -the adopted Future Land Use Map." Additionally, Attorney Garganese thought, "You can put some language in there about - `Non-Conforming Uses shall be regulated pursuant to the City's Land Development Regulations' and leave all the Non-Conforming Use issues to the Land Development Code. That would be my recommendation." Deputy Mayor Krebs asked Ms. Sahlstrom, "Did you get that?" Ms. Sahlstrom responded, "Yes." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 10 OF 13 Tape 3/Side A On Policy 1.11.4:, Commissioner Hovey suggested, "I think `Seminole County' should stay in there." Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "Alright." Discussion followed on residential development/density and the number of stories to be allowed in the Town Center. Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "I am recommending that you just recommend high density - what the Policy was." Commissioner Bonner noted, "Go back to how it was written." Discussion followed on references to the GreeneWay and the Greenway Interchange District and how two (2) different spellings would be confusing. Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Board Member Karr left the Commission Chambers at 9:22 p. m. Discussion. Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Board Member Karr returned to the Commission Chambers at 9: 27 p.m. With further discussion, Ms. Sahlstrom stated, on 3.2:, "At this point, the direction is to keep the F.A.R. (Floor Area Ratio) of 2.0 and then when DCA (Department of Community Affairs) asks for more studies we -start trying to put the studies together to have that available for them? Is that the direction, rather than to keep the 1.0 that we currently have?" Commissioner Bonner stated, "We are fine with the 2.0 in the Greeneway Interchange [District]." No objections were voiced. Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Board Member Karr departed the Meeting at 9: 36 p. m. On 3.3.4: and water taxi's, Manager Smith commented on State funds and noted a deadline of May 6`h which he did not feel that Staff would have time to reach. The City Commission did not voice any objections. Related to 5.1.1:, Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Board Member Poe stated, "Page I-23, there is a Typographical error on (6) -the second line..." Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "...The th.n.- the font is even different." Discussion. Two (2) stories in the Town Center was discussed next. C[TY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -APRIL 20, 2009 PAGE 11 OF 13 Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Chairman Lacey suggested, "We felt that two (2) stories going forward was the standard we were going to adhere to and we thought this language accomplished it. Having read it - I think being more succinct than just saying two (2) stories is the preferable way to do it." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Good." No objections were noted. Attorney Garganese added, "Strike everything starting with the word of - to the end of the sentence - so, two (2) stories could be faux, it could be occupied space. It gives you some flexibility." Tape 3/Side B With further comments on the original Vision, Commissioner Bonner said, "Make it two (2) story." Commissioner McGinnis noted, "Absolutely."

Ms. Sahlstrom explained, "There's a Policy that we tweaked slightly in the FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT describing where our schools can be located, and that same tweak would need to occur in the PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT to be consistent."

In other City business, Manager Smith asked the City Commission if they wished to purchase a corporate table for a May Leadership Seminole Event. As some of the individual Commissioners were already attending, the City Commission did not agree to purchase a Corporate table. Manager Smith added, "I think everyone would probably join with me in just giving Eloise (Sahlstrom) a little kudos..." Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "...The whole committee."

INTRODUCTION This is the year of the City's 50'h anniversary. It is an important milestone and represents a new era for the City,, as it transitions toward greater sustainability. Located in the heart of central Florida Winter Springs has a growing economy a professional workforce, and offers an excellent living environment. The City is a sought after location for families and young~rofessionals with exc~tional schools, nationally recognized parks, low crime rates and beautifully landscaped streets It has eay vehicular access to the S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressway„/Central Florida Greeneway) and linkage to area airports and the greater Orlando metro area In 2007 the City was honored b~ Money Magazine, with the designation of "2nd Best City in Florida" and the "31st Best City in the U.S. to live". In 2006, the City was designated "#1 Best City in the United States in which to purchase a home" by MSN Advisory Services. Emphasis on the integration of land use with transportation systems will occur and by 2030, the City will likely reach build-out of its vacant lands Duri~ this transition period, the City will experience the completion of its two strategically located districts- the Town Center District and the Greeneway Interchange District. The Town Center is planned to develop into a blend of business and employment, entertainment, retail, and residential uses and the Greeneway Interchange District is planned to develop with target indust~ based employment in conjunction with the regional SeminoleWAY initiative. J The Future Land Use Element is-ta designates future land use patterns, densities, and intensities of land use: ~~ ..•i,".'_ •••~" '~°°~ to accommodate balanced and sustainable growth for the Cites projected population~rr~ d~~~~irr~er~. The ;~«n~nTra--~TSe~element is dependent upon the goals, objectives and policies of all of the other elements in the Comprehensive Plan to minimize adverse impacts on natural resources and maintain essential facilities and services at desired levels to maintain the quality of life within the City. The element begins with a narrative describing the historical context of the City, followed by a description of its current character. ~i~~An inventory and analysis of existing land use data and patterns as of Februar~2009 is included. The Existing Land Use Map, (Map I-31 illustrates the location and distribution of these land uses. As required by Rule 9-J5, F.A.C., the Map also displays existing land uses within County enclaves and in unincorporated parcels at the City's fringe A tabulation of the acreage of each land use within the City's boundaries is included in Table I-1. A description of the physical features found in the City such as wetlands, soils and other natural resources that impact the character of the City follows. Knowledge of these features is especially useful in analyzing the development potential of the City's remaining_vacant lands. Population projections are presented and issues related to growth management are discussed. The appropriate location for future uses are described and densities and intensities are established for each The Future Land Use Map Map I-1) indicates the proposed location and distribution of land uses within the City's current boundaries, through the year 2030. , ,, .. The Future Land Use Map and associated policies and definitions will guide the review and permitting of new development.: ., I-30 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 1. General History Since WWII, the United States has experienced great wealth building This prosperity has lead to the proliferation of automobiles and expanded housing opportunities on the fringe of cities. The "American Dream" of owning your own home in the suburbs has been realized by many. The suburbs were idealized as a safe haven for raising a family All across America, people choose the suburban lifestyle, believing that it provided the h~hest quality of life available. While the breadwinner of the family was relegated to a short commute into Orlando during the week, the suburban lifestyle was considered a respite to return to and a place where the family could enjoy all the amenities associated with "country" living, such as open space clean air and low crime. Additionally and most importantly, the suburban model offered an attractive alternative to city living All across America, people choose the suburban lifestyle believing that it provided the highest quality of life available And perhaps it did- because this was also a time when the automobile was still considered a luxuryitem It was during this time that the Village of North Orlando (now known as the City of Winter Springs) was founded 20 miles north of Orlando in south-central Seminole County by a New York development company. Homes were marketed as "country estates" and could be purchased for as low as $20 down and $20 per month The first residents numbered only 200 people. Th~r'~~ ,.cwr.~..,. c . a r inn ~' r~r~ ~~ ~ATG G=~CCTVPIT'SIT~1C1'I~W77 ~~1e~~~~~de. House Bill 2474, created the municipality of the Village of North Orlando on June 20, 1959. North Orlando was the sixth municipality in Seminole County and the smallest, consisting of only 160-acres and was located on the west side of present day Winter S rp ings. The chief reason for the incoraoration was to enable the developers to have control over the building and evolution of the village and to allow them to establish their own ordinances and regulations. The North Orlando Company also provided their own water and sewer utilities. North Orlando grew to 3,500 acres during the 1960's by additions primarily comprised of lands owned by a single developer. The first business to open was the North Orlando Super Market, in 1965 and in 1970, the population was only 1,161. In 1972, North Orlandot~e-E=ity almost doubled its size with the annexation of a large 3,200 acre tract known as Tuscawilla, ~~-a~:~. This expansion created the largest incorporated area in Seminole County-mom} In March 1972, a new city charter was drawn up and adopted in a city-wide election New city officials were elected and on April 20. 1972. House Bill No. 3390 abolished the municipal government of the Village of North Orlando and established the municipality of the City of Winter Springs The City of Winter Springs was incorporated on June 13, 1972. t.,....~..,1 :~ -.L. ~e 6et~rale E9ttf3~' ~'~ei:ii ea-~ ic~cirernrivcmzvrrvi=-~y~rcr During the period of 1998 to 2007. the City's boundaries continued to expand with the annexation of 602 acres, moving eastward past S R 417 This expansion was met with great opposition from Seminole County the rural area (Black Hammockl residents and the City of Oviedo. In 2006. due to a change in the City's political will, the City amended its code of ordinances to prohibit Annexation of property located east of Deleon Street, effectively curbing the possibility for future sprawl Additionally the Future Land Use I I-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Element was amended to include a policy stating the same. This annexation boundary to the east along with the natural boundary of Lake Jesup to the north and the adjacent cities of Oviedo, Casselberry and Longwood, along its borders, limit the available land that can be annexed into the City in the future. The City currently includes 9,478 acres, or 14.8 square miles of area with an estimated population (2008) of 34,490 [source BEBR, 2008]. It is expected that even with annexation of county enclaves, the City will still remain at approximately 15 square miles. Map I-2 identifies the General location of the City within Seminole Counter , 2. General Character Like man~post WWII suburban landscapes, Winter Springs developed predominant as a residential community, dependent upon the automobile for access to retail services and employment. Although strip commercial centers emerged along S.R. 434, the City lacked a center- a place that established an identity for the community and a place to come together. This desire for something more is evident in the following excerpt from the City's 1990-2010 Comprehensive Plan: • Strengthen and diversify the City's tax base and provide employment opportunities for residents through the use of mixed use developments to include residential, commercial and recreational areas, coordinated in form and function, while retaini~ the family-oriented community environment. • Integrate the east and west sections of Winter Springs through land use changes and transportation improvements. "To integrate the two sides of town, the Winter Springs Loop Road has been planned to route resident to the new commercial and mixed use areas on the north part of town. By attracting employment centers and related commercial concerns, residents will have incentives to shorten their travel times by remaining in the city limits and supporting local enterprises." Subsequently, in 1998, under the creative direction of Dover, Kohl 8~ Partners town planning, Gibbs Planning Group, and Michael Design Associates and under the skillful leadership of a new city manager, Ron McLemore, the vision began to unfold through a series of charettes. These charettes were a collaborative effort which included City policy makers, land owners, homeowner association representatives, developers, Seminole County staff, the Tourist Development Council, the Economic Development Council, and the Florida Department of Transportation. The development of the Town Center was desired to create a vibrant "downtown" heart to the suburban city. However, the Town Center is not just for those who live within it. As described by the consultant team, "the Town Center is to be a place where people can reside in a mix of single and multiple family dwellings, and also gather to shop, relax, recreate, be entertained, attend communitX events, and en'loy the natural beauty of lands located in the Town Center." The Town Center Master Plan is depicted on Map I-3. In the Town Center, the public realm is reclaimed as an amenity- for the public. Emphasis is Given to the form and relationship of traditional streets, squares, and neighborhoods. Buildings are placed close to the street, framing the space as an outdoor room and parks I-32 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • • • and green spaces are provided as neighborhood aathering spaces. Rather than maintaining private property and fostering exclusivity the Town Center invites the public in "Cities are incomplete (and they do not feel or function like healthy cities) without centers A traditional Town Center is the phxsical place where many basic needs of citizens are conveniently and tightlx focused• shoppingt workina, governance, being entertained, dwelling, and the arts all happened together in a Town Center because it is pragmatic to do so" (Dover, Kohl 8~ Partners, 19981. Althouc,~h the City has made~reat strides in establishing its Town Center. the economic downturn has halted its growth temporarily However over the next two decades, as the City approaches build-out it will see the fruition of the Town Center and the Greenewav Interchange District Of the City's total land area only 8.8% remains vacant and developable Areas with the largest consolidation of vacant developable parcels are the Greeneway Interchanae District and the Town Center District. These two districts will provide the diversity, and economic heart that the City is currently lacking. Pressures to redevelop older commercial areas of the City will also increase as vacant land becomes scarce.

EXISTING LAND USE DATA AND INVENTORY The development of a detailed Existina Land Use Map can reveal the City's success in implementing_its Future Land Use Map and answer the question "How are we doina?" A direct correlation exists between the detail included in the Existina Land Use Map and the opportunity for analysis. The Existing Land Use Map (MQp 14~illustrates existing land uses as categorized by use density and intensity This illustrative inventory can be further evaluated in tabular form by acreage, as included in Table I-1 Examination of both map and tabular data will reveal land use inconsistencies and highlight areas needing further attention and improvement. The Existina Land Use Map included herein is a snapshot in time It depicts those uses occurring in February 2009, as verified through the property appraiser's data aerial photoaraphX, building permit records and field verification Because land use is not stagnant it is important that the City's Planning Division continue to track these changes and continue to keep its data base current.~~o 1. Existing Land Use Categories The land use categories shown on the Existing Land Use Map (~x~)--are in accordance with the requirements set forth in Rule 9J-5.006 (1)(a), F_A,C. T~~~; l~i~: However additional detail is included beyond the minimum requirements for the purpose of analysis The Existina Land Use Map also includes more detail and different categories than included in the Future Land Use Map As a result, there is no direct correlation between the categories in each map. For example, the Existina Land Use Map does not include a "Town Center" category, because the Town Center designation allows for a wide variety of land uses Therefore, the specific type of land use is identified on the Existina Land Use Map Having the specific land use identified allows the city to better analyze "How are we doina in achieving our objectives?" Table I-1 lists each existing land use category and its~re corresponding a~a~--a-€ cJ~~l-acreage in March 2009-~-za~._ s~a~€-a~dre~,~rted~~e~re}r-res~ee~*o e-ea~egerfes~~- As illustrated several of these categories have little to no acreaae associated with them. They are included to illustrate that the intensities and densities allowed especially within the Town Center) have not been realized to date. In order to achieve the vision of sustainable economic vitality within the Town Center the City should require a minimum residential density, as well as higher intensity development. This can be achieved by requiring buildings to have at least two floors so that higher floor area ratios (as permitted) are realized A definition of each existing land use category follows, as well as a brief description of existing conditions.

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the gross floor area of a building divided by the total area of the site on which the building is located expressed as a decimal number FAR can be used to describe any land use with buildings, whereas density describes only residential land uses., The diagram which follows illustrates three simple ways that a 1 0 FAR might be reached• one story covering the entire lot, 2 stories covering half the lot or 4 stories covering a quarter of the lot. All result in the same FAR. Calculation of the FAR does not consider a maximum height for the structure Buildin s of equal FAR, can have significant differences in appearance depending upon the site landscaping and architecture.

Existins Residential • Winter Springs was originally founded as a residential community and resi dential land use continues to dominate the developed acreage of the City. Winter Springs has a healthy div ersity of residential housing options available that appeal to a wide range of a ge groups, income levels and family sizes. Housing choices include everything from zero lot line single family detached homes to grand I-37 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • estates on five-acre parcels Additionally there are patio homes, duplexes townhomes, condominiums, manufactured homes, mobile homes, apartments and a few adult congregate living facilities, and a few garage apartments. There are no RV or recreational campgrounds, no transient housina, no time-sharing facilities no seasonal units and no farm residences Also, there are no assisted living facilities. adult family care homes, or adult day care centers within the city limits of Winter Springs and no motel or hotels. However, these uses would be classified as commercial uses rather than residential. Approximately 54% of the City's current housina stock was constructed during the period from 1970 to 1990. A majority of that housing is included in planned unit developments with active homeowner associations. As of the 2000 Census, the average single family home was built in 1987. The majority of the City's housing stock is in good condition. The Housing Element includes more detailed information on this topic. It should be the objective of the City to protect existing housina values and develop policies that result in the appreciation of existing neighborhoods In addition, the obiective of new development should be to contribute to favorable quality of life conditions within the community as well as to accommodate projected population growth. Growth for Winter Springs from 2000 to 2010 was anticipated to occur at a slower rate than from 1990 to 2000 even prior to the recent decline in housina values and sales. The Existing Land Use Map illustrates seven U categories of residential uses based on density and use. These are: Town Center Density (21.1 to 36 dufgross acres High Density (9.1 to 21 du gross acres) Medium Density (3.6 to 9 du,[gross acresl, Mobile Homes (up to 9 du~gross acres), Low Density X1.1 to 3 5 du~gross acresl, Rural Residential (under 1 du/gross acre) and Home Owner Association (HOA) Common Areas (undeveloped) Acreage for each is identified except for HOA Common Areas, which are included in the acreage of the corresponding land use associated with the development. Together these uses make up 52% of the City's total acreage. Single family is the most predominant housing type A proper mix of different housing types and housing that accommodates different life styles helps to encourage the development of swell-balanced community In 2000. more than 74% of the housing units were single family detached homes, nearly 6% percent were single family attached .5% were duplexes nearly 15% percent were multifamily units, and 4.5% were mobile homes During the period of 1998 - 2003, single family detached units dominated the residential market in Winter Springs. However after 2004 (except for a few custom homes) the market was dominated by townhouse and condominium construction. This was primarily the result of reduced land availability increased housing prices, and support for higher density housing in the Town Center It is anticipated that the City will continue to see a decrease in construction of single family detached units as the City nears build-out. In 2009. there were 4 423 developed residential acres within the City Residential lands are primarily scattered throughout the City with two exceptions To the northwest. in the vicinity of U.S. 17-92 are 47.3 acres of Medium Densitx I-38 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Residential. AdditionallX, there is one significant swath of Rural Residential land in the south central area of the Citytadjacent to Dunmar Estates. This area is noted as having a rural character and is envisioned to remain as large equestrian parcels, even as infill occurs. The lower the density the greater the acreage required to accommodate the residential use. Development of extremely low density residential uses within incorporated areas is considered a major contributor to urban sprawl and such inefficient land use patterns are now discouraged by the State of Florida. Vacant land or lots for single family homes within the City is available, but is minimal. As vacant land becomes increasingly scarce, the Citx will see more demand for higher density housing and for splitting larger lots. Current studies also indicate a trend among persons of the Generation X and Generation Y to locate in higher density housing located in activity centers. The Town Center District allows greater diversity in housing types than other areas of the City. Accessory dwelling units, such as garage apartments are allowed bx right and the Town Center has been identified as the area where the City's highest density of housing is appropriate. By right, residential density can be developed up to 36 dufgross acre. Initially, no minimum density was established, however a policy is now included which establishes a minimum average densityper develop- ment so that the economic goals of the Town Center can be realized. To date, less than one acre of land has been developed in the density range of 21.1 to 36 du,Lgross acre. • I-39 e1 i 1 i y Y ~' e~ i s I i k I ( ~ ss <" a t 3 a s -+ s a t1t 1 } I '~ -i J r _. , ~, 'i ~ ._.. ._. ~....~ ~. ... ... rx :t ~ ~ ! 3 ~~ - T3 n (( Z ~, 1 ~~ a Y i .. s K p ^I : y-~ k~~ 7 I 1.

The Town Center is based upon traditional neighborhood development (TNDI standards The designation allows and encourages higher densities and intensities as well as mixed use development, built on a pedestrian scale interconnected grid of streets and blocks. The tapes of uses permitted within the Town Center include a variety of residential and nonresidential uses to encourage a mix of uses that is necessary for the economic viability of a city center. The Town Center is the only area within Winter Springs which allows a vertical mix of uses by right. To date, one building has been built which includes a vertical mix of uses. The Town Center is focused on the intersection of S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Road I-42 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT I~:c. Existing Commercial Most commercial development in Winter Springs can be characterized as strip commercial including one-story buildings with corres op nding low floor area ratios and surface parking fronting onto the major roadways.

With the development of the Town Center at S.R 434 and Tuskawilla Rd ,the Citx is_seeina increased diversification of its economy. The Town Center is intended for the most intensive commercial development in the City Commercial areas in the Urban Central Business District (UCBD/Town Center) can build up to a maximum of 2.0 FAR. However, less than one-acre of the Town Center has developed with a FAR over .50. Analysis of development data indicates that to date the Town Center is being under-developed. Although concessions were required initially to get development started, it will be necessary for higher intensity development to occur in the future, for the Town Center to succeed economically and to be the vibrant place envisioned. Just east of the Town Center, is the Greeneway Interchange District (GIDI located at the juncture of S R Road 417 and S R 434 The GID is expected to become a premier employment center with professional office buildings, conference facilitX and hotel. The GID is located within the "SeminoleWAY" which is being planned as a regional collaborative effort with Seminole County and other affected entities as a high tech extension of the Orange County "Innovation Way" Commercial areas in the GID can build up to a maximum of 1.0 FAR Under certain conditions one or more development bonuses may be granted which may allow a higher FAR To date, no development has occurred within the GID Like the Town Center under-development can easily occur if higher intensities are not required The City of Winter Springs also participates in the activities of the U S 17 92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) through its membership on the U S 17- 92 Redevelopment Planning Agency (RPA) The CRA was established in 1997 and its mission is "to realize the full economic and functional potential of the U S 17-92 corridor through strategic and timely investments that enhance the competitiveness _- - - - I-43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT and desirability of the corridor for the business communitx and the public at larae:' In 2008, the CRA was designated aBrownfield/SEED (Seminole Economic Enhancement District] area for the purpose of environmental remediation, rehabilitation and economic redevelopment, as allowed under Sections 376.77- 376.85.

The uses at Cress Run and Deleon are all nonconforming Industrial uses and existed in this area prior to the City annexing the land from Seminole County. All of these parcels were designated with a Rural Residential future land use designation with the intent that over time the existing nonconforming structures and uses would transition into residential use Of these nonconforming uses, only Eagte Bay Woodworking has a formalized arrangement with the City to be allowed to continue the nonconforming use for a period of time (not to exceed fifteen years). There are currently >~84 acres with c~-€+Industrial uses within the City. I-46 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT e. Existing Public/Semi-Public eke-Existina Public/Semi-Public uses~e~ incl e~~€ public facilities and private nor-€er-profit facilities. This category includes all public structures or lands that are owned, leased, or operated by a government entity, such as civic and community centers, public schools. :, :, police and fire stations, post office, and government administration buildings. The Wont-tf>r-profit and semi- public uses include churches, private schools, vocational and technical schools, institutions, group homes, ~ mergency shelters and other similar uses. , There are currently x,37 acres with Public/Semi-Public uses within the Citx. gf. Existing Recreation and Open Space The_ Quality of life for Winter Springs' residents is linked closely to the development and management of awell-maintained, accessible system of~ublic parks, trails and open space. Existing_Recreation and Open Space uses~ris-~arx~ ~~e-e~e~~ includes park and recreation facilities owned by the City, County and State; open space owned by the City; private parks and golf courses; as well as, recreation facilities located at area schools The City of Winter Springs is well known for its award-winning Central Winds Park and the quality of recreational programs and events offered there. Such facilities play a key role in shaping both the landscape and the quality of life of Winter Springs' residents through the conservation of natural resources and provision of recreational facilities. There are currently 682 acres of recreational and open space landsa within the City. Open space is defined as "undeveloped lands suitable for passive recreation or conservation." The Recreation and Open Space Element provides a complete inventory of sites and facilities provided for recreation uses. q. Existing Resource Protection/Drainage This category is identified on the Existina Land Use Map as a separate cateaorx,, because these areas are designated on residential plats as areas of resource protection and occur along creek beds. However, the designation is not as restrictive or as protective as "Conservation"; Therefore. acreage in this category I-47 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT has been integrated into the appropriate correspondin residential land use for analysis. h. Existing Conservation Existing eke-Ceonservation lands c~e~i~~includeg public lands that have been acquired and private land areas that have been reserved by mutual agreement with the property owner for the preservation and protection of Winter Springs' natural resources.

Of this total, only 768 acres (9 percent of the City) is considered developable. The remaining land is considered Vacant Constrained. Vacant Constrained are lands identified by the Conservation Overlay (see Future Land Use Map categories). These are Vacant lands located within the Conservation Overlay. However, the Conservation Overlay is derived from generalized mapping data. Once site specific study and analysis is completed. some of these Vacant Constrained lands could be determined to be developable. Lands identified as Conservation are not included within the Vacan~Vacant Constrained land use acreage. j. Historic Resources As one travels around Winter Springs today, there is little evidence of the peoples and the history that have shaped the City. According to the Florida Master Site File, maintained by the State Division of Historical Resources, there are no historical standing structures or archaeological sites within the City. No references to remaining historical structures or sites are indicated on the Existing Land Use Map. Even though the City's history only goes back to 1959, the area was occupie an assortment of people Iona before that. According to John Baker, City Historian (June 1994, 35th anniversary celebration) the area has been occupied for some 4500 years. The primary Native American tribe was the Timacuans. a large, robust people whose leaders were often women. Historical reconnaissance studies have found evidence of Indian middens on the south bank of Lake Jesup and a sloth jawbone was reported to have been found just north of Winter Springs High School. On many old deeds and other documents pertaining to the area, the name of Moses Levy appears. Moses Elias Levy (1782-1854) was a New York merchant I-48 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT who made a fortune in lumbering and trade with the Spanish and amassed hundreds of thousands of acres prior to the U.S acauisition of Florida from Spain in 1821.. All of what is now Winter Springs was once owned by Levy Plats revised in 1852 recognized Spanish land grants to Moses Levy Philip K Yonae and others as the federal government opened the area to settlers Lake Jesup was named on May 22, 1837, by Lt Richard Peyton for Gen Thomas S. Jessup, a prominent figure in the Seminole Wars. The "discovery" of the lake reauired 52 hours of rowing a barge 90 miles to get to it. At least one old mad from that time refers to it as "Lake Peyton". fln 1981 the U.S. Board of Geographic Names settled on "Jesup" as the correct spelling of the lake.l A wharf and store was located at the shore of Lake Jesup at the end of what is now Tuskawilla Road (previously known as Brantley Roadl Partners George C Brantley and Col Daniel Randolph Mitchell made their wharf and store (c 1865) here the area's center of commerce. There are no historical remains of these. Brantlev's Wharf and nearby Clifton Springs (off Spring Avenue) were as far south as steamboats could land freight for wagons to haul to Maitland and Orlando. Vincent Lee was an early homesteader. In 1874, Brantley bought and named a nearby site "Tuskawilla" after an Indian village of the same name in Alachua County (now known as Micanopyl A post office was established there by Liver Prince. In the early days of the settlement Tuskawilla Road was a rugged wagon trail blazed for the construction of a railroad line from Lake Jesup to Orlando,_ The. 1873 effort of Brantley and Mitchell failed when both died while the roadbed grading was half completed. Steamboats and rail were important aspects of the economic development of the area at the time. In the early 1900s, the cities of Sanford and Oviedo were connected by a dirt road which passed through what is now Winter Springs This road was paved with brick around 1920 and was known as the Sanford-Oviedo Road. Most remnants of the old brick road have Iona since been removed However a small portion of the road may still exist at Layer Elementary School adjacent to the row of old oak trees. The area lay dormant until 1957 when Ray Moss and William Edaemon purchased land under the name of the "North Orlando Company," a subsidiary of the Silver Creek Precision Co., Silver Creek, New York (later known as the Commercial Corporation of Allentown, PA]. The first residents, equaling approximately 200 people, moved into homes on the north side of S.R. 434. A "country estate" could be purchased for as low as $20 down and $20 per month (The Sanford Herald Feb 18, 1959) An applicable quote, from the North Orlando Country Estates advertisement states "cities grow because of people and industry• more industrx means more people: more eonle means more homes• more homes increase land demand, up values- grand for those who bought early." House Bill 2474, created the municipality of the Village of North Orlando on June 20. 1959. The Village was the sixth municipality in Seminole County and the smallest, consisting of only 160-acres. The Village was located on the west side of present day Winter Springs. The chief reason for the incorporation was to enable the developers to have control over the building and evolution of the village and I-49 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT to allow them to establish their own ordinances and regulations. The North Orlando Company also provided their own water and sewer utilities. The Village was a `company town' and all the Village Council were employees of the North Orlando Company, who were appointed to serve. It wasn't until 1962 that residents had an oeportunity to select members of a council who would represent their needs. Selection of the mayor, however, was by secret ballot from the five council members until 1966 when a referendum charter chance determined that the mayor was to also be elected by the e~ople. In 1960, the community had one public building, which housed the Water Company's office, offices for the Florida Land Company employees, and an office used by the Village as City Hall. Although there have been no designated, historically significant structures to date, this building may potentially be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as it aQproaches 50-Years old. The building is located at Fairfax and S.R. 434 and was purchased by a private citizen in 1995. The first streets were N. Fairfax and N. Devon. In 1965 the first store opened, aptly named, the North Orlando Super Market. 2. S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan ~ C.,.t„ Dl.,. ,] :12:1 ('..««; ,7._« V:._: ~.. Dl,.., In 1997, the City established and adopted a vision plan for the ~S_R. 434 corridor. ~~3~~~'-?. It was a collaborative planning process with meaningful public participation in the development of the concept and design guidelines for the corridor. The ~S_R. 434 corridor was divided into two overlay areas, as shown on the City's Oefficial Zoning Map, due to the different characteristics on the east and west sides of the City. The dividing boundary was determined to be Hayes Road. The following section defines the two overlay areas. {a-~a. Redevelopment Area Overlay District The Redevelopment aArea eOverlay c~District is defined asp "All properties (involving the entire parcel) lying within the corporate limits of the City ._c `~~-~~~~ adjacent to the ~QS_R. 434 right-of-way from:;.S. 17_ X92 eastward to Hayes Road." It is the intent of this ~-district to encourage enhanced property development that is consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhoods and development. The buildings will not be encouraged to go higher than thirty five feet and should be located closer to the street to encourage pedestrian activity. Design guidelines will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to promote orderly development and redevelopment of the corridor. I-50 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT {fi}b. New Development Area Overlay District The ~rNew c~Development aArea HOverlay r}District is defined as, "All properties (involving the entire parcel) lying within the corporate limits of the City ~~~ `~ adjacent to the RS.R. 434 right-of-way from ~'-~ °- ~` r T ~ Hayes Road eastward to the easternmost boundary of the Cityc~°~° n..,.a n~~ i ~ i.>:~ .i... r~-..,... ..~ ai. ~~o o ~~ ~~-~ ~~ ~ However, should any conflicts arise between the New Development Overlay District and the Town Center District the provisions of the Town Center District shall apply. To the extent that the Town Center District are silent, then the New Development Overlay District shall apply. It is the intent of this c~aerlfr~district to control the physical appearance of new development along the corridor to produce economic benefits for the City and serve the needs of the region. Development will be encouraged to have a campus style building layout that encourages larger buffers and landscaping. Design guidelines will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to promote orderly development within the New Development Overlay Area. 3. Natural Resources The presence of natural resources within the City ~r `~~z~~rtt~ ~~~~r~~n-will affect the future land use pattern. The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns. The major natural . constraints to development area' Lake Jesup, ' , ~ wetlands,, and the 100=-year flood_plain_ '~ Environmental permitting requirements have become much inm-~:~stricter in recent years which should suffice to restrict development in pristine natural areas and preserve wildlife habitats. Additionally, the City has adopted a eConservation c~Overlay designation on the Future Land Use Map to identify potential sensitive habitat areas that may be worthy of preservation. The following narrative briefly discusses the natural environment within the City ~~ `~~;~-r ~~: Much of this information is discussed in greater detail within the Conservation Element. a. Climate The City - :enjoys asub-tropical climate, characterized by warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters. Daily maximum temperatures average 90°F in the summer and 50°F in the winter. Temperature extremes of over 100°F or under 20°F are rare. The average annual precipitation in the City is 50 inches per year, most of which occurs during the rainy season from June through October. b. Water Bodies The Cif of Winter Springs lies on the southwest shore of Lake Jesup. Lake Jesup was named in 1837 for Gen. Thomas S. Jessup, a prominent figure in the Seminole Wars. In 19.81, the U.S. Board of Geographic Names settled on "Jesup" as the correct_sAellina of the lake. Lake Jesup is over 16,000 acres (including flood plains) and has an estimated alligator population of over 10.000 making it the I-51 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • densest concentration of alligators in the world.c....c .... __.,.« ...................... ~_:«t_:.. eta:....,. i-....,.t_ ~,... ~-....t_ u..___..tt ~......t_ n..,... r`..,.,.t_ ,..-.~_«t.. ~ ..«t_ ... ~rr :«a.. > > > ~iuvu ~,. ,~...,..., Prominent creeks feeding into Lake Jesup include Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek, and Howell Creek. These mater features are depicted on Map I-5.

Wetlands There are wetlands scattered throughout the City-ems'' _ Most of the wetland habitat is found along the shores of Lake Jessup with a significant portion extending into the center of the City. Map ~1=6 shows the location of wetlands throughout the City. The .wetlands ~Li-e-in Winter Springs(=tom are predominantly classified as palustrine; which consist of hydric hammocks and hardwood swamps, with small areas of cypress, bayhead, and wet prairie. Map I-7 illustrates the wetland vegetative classifications located in the City eel. Flood Zones There are 1,671 acres within ~" .. the City within the 100-year flood plain (see Map I-1~ These areas are predominantly limited to the shorelines adjacent to Lake Jesup, Little Lake Howell, Lake Talmo, and the riverine flood plains of Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek, Bear Creek, and Howell Creek. These areas are depicted on Map I-8. e. Topographx • The physiographic features in the City s--consist of relatively flat lands with some gently rolling hills. , The lower elevations are found sloping down to the shoreline of Lake Jesup and adjacent to the creek beds. The higher elevations are found in the western portions of the City. Overall ground elevations in the City range from less than 3 feet to over 78 feet mean sea level. The City's topographx is illustrated on Infrastructure Element, Map IV-E-1 . f. Soils The development potential of land is affected by the types of soils present. Soils that have poor load bearing features or drain poorly will be more difficult and costly to develop. Other soils may not be suitable for certain types of development and septic tanks. Soil classifications have been determined for the City by the Soil Conservation Service (SCSI of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Map I-9 presents the soil types within the City. Map I-10 depicts soils that are suitable for development. The Conservation Element presents a more detailed discussion on this subject. The dominant soils in Winter Springs consist of Urban Land-Tavares-Millhopper and Urban Land-Astatula-Apopka soils which are characterized as being well- drained soils that are sandy throughout and contain a loamy sub-soil at a depth of 40 inches or more and are generally found in upland areas. • I-54 Y!

LAND USE ANALYSIS This section of the Future Land Use Element summarizes existing conditions and potential development trends and problems. Included in the analysis will be the availability of urban services such as sewer, solid waste, roadways and the availability of potable water In addition there is an analysis of potential limitations imposed by natural resources and man-made constraints. • I-61 I CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 1_._ Unincorporated Enclaves/Future Annexations In January 2007, the City adopted Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.8.4 establishing an eastern annexation boundary for the City, at DeLeon Street. The intention of this poli4X was to protect the rural and environmentally sensitive Black Hammock area from future urbanization. Areas which are islands of unincorporated Seminole County that are completelX surrounded by the City are considered "enclaves". Enclaves total 264 acres. The City is now more dependent upon infill development and the annexation of these enclaves to provide growth opportunities. Most of these enclaves are vacant lands with the exception of developed lands along Lake Jesup off of Orange Avenue and Spring Avenue which are generally developed as low density residential housing. Generally, these parcels are less than ten acres. An interlocal aareement with Seminole County in 1987 provides that the City will supply essential governmental services (fire protection public safetX, emergency law enforcement, and road maintenance) to County citizens residing in defined "areas of concern." The Agreement states that the County will encourage property owners to seek annexation and that annexation of any parcels within this area is subject to this agreement. The City expects that vacant enclaves adjacent to the existing Town Center boundary will be annexed and designated as part of the Town Center, sometime prior to 2030. Future annexations of existing enclaves will help supply, land to satisfy the housina, and commercial needs of the 2030 population of the Cites 2. Population Projections Projecting the City's future population is critical in planning for its future facility needs Protected population must be taken into consideration along with available land in preparing the Future Land Use Map and the spatial requirements necessary to meet the City's future growth. Population estimates and projections were prepared by Planning Communities. LLC Inc. as part of background information for the Comprehensive Plan These projections and associated methodologies can be found in the section entitled "Population Projections" of this Comprehensive Plan. The estimated 2008 population for the City was 34 390 total residents By the year 2010 this population is expected to reach 35,857, 40,319 by 2020 and 44 538 by 2030. 343. Analysis of Public Facilities Affecting Development It is important to ensure that public facilities and services that are necessary to support development are available current with the impact of development. a. Potable Water The City ~-~~~ currently owns, operates and maintains a central potable water distribution system, which consists of three water treatment plants and eight potable water wells, and four above ground storage tanks. The City's potable water system provides water for both residential and nonresidential r~ I-62 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT C7 • purposes, including fire-fighting demands. The City has historically been able to provide adequate potable water service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries:, with the exception of a few parcels at the City's perimeter. These are served by the City of Longwood, the City of Casselberry, or by Seminole County Environmental Services (SCEs) and represent an insignificant portion of each utility's service capability. The City does not provide service to unincorporated areas of Seminole County with the exception of one commercial property along U S 17-92 that had aroundwater contamination from an adjacent property, and there was no other supplier available. The City also administers a reclaimed water system and conservation programs, to help manage water demand and meet potable water supply needs. b. Wellheads The City's central potable water distribution system is connected to eight (8) potable water wells. The City adheres to the standards adopted for wellhead protection by the SJRWMD and the FDEP, including restricting the type of development allowed in the vicinity of a wellhead and requiring a 500-foot protection zone around each wellhead as well as a five hundred (500) foot minimum spacing between wells. Land use surrounding a water supply site is a major consideration in the selection and protection of well sites to avoid contamination. The direction of aroundwater flow is to the northeast toward Lake Jesup. The wellhead protection areas are depicted on Map I-1 1. 1~:c. Sanitary Sewer The City urrently owns, operates and maintains a central sanitary sewer system, which consists of two "zero discharge" wastewater treatment plants, 41 ~ lift stations, several miles of sewer force main, gravity main, and reclaimed water distribution mains. The City's collection and treatment system provides service to both residential and nonresidential users. The City has historically been able to provide adequate sanitary sewer service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries. There are 22 residential connections and 24 general service connections. Three properties outside the City limits are served by the City's wastewater utility These properties, all within the City of Oviedo, include the medical center at S.R. 426 and Winter Springs Boulevard, the Tuscawilla Bend Shopping Center and the Seneca Bend Subdivision. The City provides service to these properties as required by an old PUD agreement. There pre no County enclaves that are served by the City's wastewater system. 1~ I-63 ~i 7 ;i .~ ~~ d - n V ~+ 1 %' • .

Stormwater/Drainaae The City-c•~•~~"~ is committed to maintaining the quality of its surface waters and natural eco-systems. The City maintains a current Stormwater Master Plan, adopted in October 1993, which models the City's contributing drainage basins and storm sewer systems, as well as, identifying the existing improvements, deficiencies in the overall system, and recommendations and prioritization of drainage improvements. An update to this document. Supplement 1 (Supplement) was prepared in 2005 to identify and describe new projects that reguire attention for the future. The Plan and Supplement are an example of responsible commitment to progressive City planning and resource management Additionally, the City's stormwaterel• system protects the safety and welfare of the City's residents by maintaining adequate drainage facilities to minimize local flooding of streets and property. The City allows for development within the flood plain, if feasible, but requires the construction of compensating storage areas to offset any impacts to the flood plain. cue. Solid Waste Seminole County operates two solid waste facilities- Osceola Road Solid Waste Manaaement Facility (OLF) and the Central Transfer Station (CTS) The Cif contracts aarbaae and refuse collection service for residential commercial and industrial customers. Waste Pro currently provides the City with solid waste collection and recycling services. Household hazardous waste is accepted at the County facilities. , C~Ye~{6t3~fSe`c~~zcroagcicixazci~c cviiccQOi3~c~o~22 > > ~ 'il`ri~^ -7 ,C«,:«h~~ S,~mi 1 !` ° !l 1 T .71'11 ,7 l` • 1 '7" C C ~: t ~ ~f.

However, the forecast did not account for additional collector roads added within the Town Center, In 2005, a traffic corridor study was prepared to analyze the Town Center and it showed that S.R. 434 could accept the traffic from the Town Center at build-out for the developments. In addition to the planned widening of U.S. 17-92, METROPLAN ORLANDO'S 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) includes widening of S.R. 426 to 4 lanes from Pine Street to S.R. 434 in 2010 and widening of Seminola Boulevard to 6 lanes from U.S. 17-92 to Lake Drive (a widening to 4 lanes was completed in 20081. The improvements within Winter Springs and the surrounding roadway network may alleviate . r delay deficiencies identified in the 2012 forecast. 3,4. Analysis of Natural Conditions Affecting Development • The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns. Winter Sprin s is impacted by natural constraints, such as ~'rlake Jesup, its ~'-~• ~~'~°° ---~~~°'~~~'~°., reek systems, isolated wetlands and 100-year flood plain areas, de*~=ele~et~t-~ V~4e3~t~~~ Environmental permitting requirements for impact to wetlands, require mitigation within the Lake Jesup Basin through the SJRWMD. Wetland banking can offer mitigation credits for purchase. Currently there are no mitigation credits available for purchase within the Lake Jesup basin. Although permitting requirements also have become ~-••~'- °--~-~ ~`~~'Ytricter in recent years which mays suffice to restrict development in pristine natural areas and to preserve wildlife habitats the City should nevertheless identify areas of significance and seek to ensure their preservation.: a. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge As detailed in the Aquifer Recharge Element, areas of groundwater recharge are extremely well drained and often subject to alteration since these areas are typically prime lx-glands for development. However, development can compromise water quality and great care should be taken to protect areas of groundwater recharge. Natural groundwater recharge to the upper Floridan aquifer is depicted in Infrastructure Element, Map IV-F-2. The map illustrates that the majority of the City is located in a discharge area and there are no areas of significant recharge in the City. ~ , • In order to conserve the City's potable water supply, Winter Springs has established a program that utilizes reclaimed water for irrigation purposes, which, in turn, reduces the draw down of groundwater supplies. The City's reclaimed water system has reduced the use of irrigation wells within the City and the system will continue to be expanded to serve new development. I-66 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT b. Flood Prone Areas -r~ ....... ...... ~~__,...,., ....,.,.,. __.:~~.:.. Approximately 18% of the total land area of the City °-~is within the 100-year flood_plains. These areas are depicted on Map I-8. The main flood hazard zones in the City include the shoreline along Lake Jesup and the creeks running through the City. In addition, there are a few smaller scattered areas within the City typically associated with small lakes. Where possible, development is not recommended within these flood prone areas. The Code of Ordinances limits development in undeveloped flood plain areas. The Future Land Use Map Ceonservation Oaverlay is to be used as a tool to identify areas where more scrutiny is required during the development review process, in order to limit n~„~,~~ .~ ~ ~''~ '~~„"~ development in ~itel~ed flood plain areas. For these areas, new development is required to~kr meet the standards x~-set €F~rt-1} by the HUD Flood Insurance Program. Additional regulations for development within the flood plains will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to prevent flooding and require that t13a~-there is no new net encroachment in the flood_plains without compensating storage. 4.5. Vacant Land Analysis Vacant land data was initially derived from parcel data provided by the Seminole County Property Appraiser's Office. This data was then reviewed with aerial photography imaging and combined with the City's Geographic Systems Information (GIS) data, to be included on the City's Existing Land Use Map. The Existing Land Use Map (Map I-4) includes categories for both Vacant and Vacant Constrained lands. Map I-12 illustrates these areas. Vacant is defined as any land which is "not developed" and "not currently being used under its comprehensive plan future land use map designation." Lands with a Conservation FLUM designation are excluded from the analysis. These lands do not meet the City's definition of vacant as their use is preservation and protection of Winter Springs' natural resources and they are prohibited from being developed. The resulting vacant lands data was then combined to include the Conservation Overlay from the Future Land Use Map to illustrate Vacant Constrained lands. Vacant Constrained land is defined as "vacant lands included within the Conservation Overlay area". The Conservation Overlay includes properties that may potentially contain wildlife habitat areas. hydric soils/wetlands special vegetative communities, areas within a public water well radius of 500-feet. 100-year floodplain areas,, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints (see Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.71. Although the Conservation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map is not to be considered the exact boundary, it is a likely indicator of constrained lands. A final determination of the suitability for development is determined during development review and requires that all mitigation requirements have been met. Many of the parcels that remain undeveloped as of March 2009, are vacant due in part to environmental constraints. The most frequent constraint is the presence of wetlands. During the period, 1998-2007, many of the lands that were developed, were accomplished by purchasing mitigation lands to compensate for the on site wetland I-67 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT impacts. Impacts to wetlands within the Lake Jesup Basin as managed by the St Johns • Water Management District (SJRWMD) require mitigation lands that are also located within the Lake Jesup Basin During the last few years however, there are no longer any mitigation lands available for purchase. As a result development proposals are preserving on site wetlands. In analyzing the carrying capacity of vacant land for development, soil maps and various natural resource maps were overlaid with the Existing Land Use Map. Two issues facing the City '• with regard to these factors include the flood hazard zones, which were discussed above, and soil conditions. Map I-~10 shows the results of soil suitability analysis for building construction. In total, roughly 1 3 percent of the City can be considered vacant. Of this total only 768 acres (9 percent of the City) is considered developable Most of the Cites vacant lands are located between S R 434 and Lake Jesup Total acreages of vacant land by Future Land Use Category pre shown in Table I-2. ., 6.

Residential future land uses rearesent approximately 55 percent of the total land area in the City. As of 2009, r'r `'-~~ ~~~°', roughly 44,422 acres had been developed ~BA~-with approximately 297 vacant acres remaining. Although only 39 acres are constrained a large portion of the vacant developable acreage is classified as Rural Residential (129 acres) and is unlikely to densify excegt through an occasional lot split. Any lot splits that do occur must be compatible with the overall neighborhood character and surrounding density Therefore it is unlikely that this category of future land use will absorb very much of the future population growth. I-68 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT , .Some infill growth can occur within the other existing residential categories, but generally platted developments have very few remaining vacant lots, unless the lot is environmentally constrained. The Housing Element presents an analysis of the vacant residential land uses within the City_ ~ ''~ :. The element identifies tea projection of anticipated ~~rx~it~~rdwelling units that cc~t+lci-might be accommodated within the various land use categories. Maximum allowable densities within the City's vacant residential land range between one dwelling unit per gross acre for Rural Residential single- family into 21 ~-? dwelling units per gross acre for Hk~igh r}Density Residential. However, the area most able to accommodate the greatest residential growth in the City is the Town Center, which allows up to x~} 36 dwelling units per gross acre_ .The Mixed Use category can accommodate a significant number of future residential units as well, with a density up to 12 dwelling units per gross acre. Housing Element g_rojections include a certain percentage of residential uses within each category. Map I- 12: Vacant and Vacant Constrained Properties Maw As of 2008, there were T~717~- lYl 3,898 dwelling units in the City-e€-~ Based on the figures provided ~ .. .. by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a total of 20,008 dwelling_units will be needed to serve the household population of the City by the year 2030, an increase of 6.1 10 units over the 2008 estimate. .The Shimberg~rojections do not consider vacant land availability and are primaril~proiections based on historical growth trends. Housing Element, Table III-14 describes more realistic projections for the City and considers the City's vacant developable land. Realistic projections based on vacant developable acreage indicate that the City may accommodate approximately 3,400 more units within the City's current boundaries. Annexation of additional land (enclaves) into the Town Center max realize an additional 1200 units. The density factor included in these projections and in the Housing Element is less than the maximum density allowed in each category. Examination of recent building permit activity for the years ' ~'~~-2000 through 2008 indicated a strong preference for single family housing. ~~~ ~'--- ~~~~' ••~~~~ .However, single family can include both attached and detached units. and during this period, most of the single family permitted were townhomes. rather than single family detached units.

Accessory structures and primary agricultural uses may be permitted based upon the appropriate surrounding land uses In recent years the City implemented a lot split provision to allow a simplified process for splitting large parcels in cases where the resulting lot size would not be incompatible with the adjacent properties and existing neighborhood Low Density Residential - (up to 3 5 units per gross acre) This residential category is typically a suburban area dominated by detached single-family homes on one- auarter acre lots. This land use category is intended to be applied as a transitional use to infill areas where higher density residential would conflict with adjacent neighborhoods. Medium Density Residential - (up to 9 units per gross acre) This urban scale medium density residential category is intended for both single-family and multi-family subdivisions. Typical uses may include duplexes villas cluster housing townhouses mobile homes. manufactured homes and apartments at densities up to nine units per acre. High Density Residential - (up to 21 units ep r gross acre) This urban scale residential category typically includes attached multi-family housing at densities up to twenty-one units per gross acre Typical uses would be apartments and condominiums. This is the maximum density permitted in the City (except for the Town Center). Housing impacts the economic strength of a community and provides a basis for directing the manner and type of economic development within an area Since I-71 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT housing helps determine the economic strength of a community, it will be important to reauire residential densities in the Town Center that support the economic goals of the Town Center. Currently, there is no minimum average density required of residential development in the Town Center A new policy is included that establishes a minimum average density With limited land available to accommodate single family homes future housing construction is anticipated to be predominant_y multiple family Less acreage is required to support higher density housing patterns New multiple family developments will be located close to commercial retail and employment areas and transportation corridors. Many communities allow residential density bonuses in exchange for some attribute identified by the City as desirable By providing a density incentive, the developer can recoup the costs he incurs by providing the desirable attribute. However, within the Town Center a greater density allowance is already included by right but largely ignored by the development community to date. b. Commercial Future Land Use As part of the creation of the Town Center, a Retail~Economic Analysis was undertaken by Gibbs Planning Group in 1998. This study indicated that the area's residents shop outside of Winter Springs and as such there is significant leakage of retail service restaurant, and entertainment expenditures to other retail areas The study also indicated that based on the potential retail/service spending patterns of residents, the Winter Springs Town Center has the ability to support the recommended level of additional retail development justifying its emergence as a distinct Town Center development within central Florida ~'i~e~a~-~e~ease-~n-~ejp~eln~tfjn ~~ ~esttl~ ~ t~ a ~ ~ ~ei•e~tnej3E Ec~-se~ae E~ese Neva ~e..f~enrs.

Once Seminole County submits for the land use ea~ege~e~ amendment vacant developable commercial lands will drop to 76 acres The City is p ru suing redevelopment opportunities and encouraging economic growth As a result of this effort, the City will allow a vertical mix of uses within the S R 434 Overlay District to promote alive-work environment. The majority of available land for development in commercial uses is included in the future land use categories of Greeneway Interchange District (GID) Town Center, and Mixed Use. These areas support innovative design and an energy- efficient land use pattern of infill development Additionally the GID and Town Center allow a greater commercial intensity of use than areas designated with a Commercial future land use. Together these areas are offering opportunities for increased diversification of the City's tax base and will allow more Winter Springs residents to find employment opportunities close to home. As a result Winter Springs is well positioned to continue its current pace of strong economic growth c. ire-Mixed Use Future Land Use The purpose for the Mixed Use land use category is to provide for a variety of land uses and intensities within a development site to preserve conservation areas to reduce public investment in provision of services to encourage flexible and creative site design and to provide public amenities that provide an area-wide benefit to the community The Mixed Use land use cateaory permits low medium and high density residential: commercial uses (retail and office)• light industrial• educational facilities: recreation facilities and compatible public facilities According to the Planned Unit Development process the intensity of the development within the Mixed Use category will vary depending upon location and surrounding uses To ensure a variety of land use types no more than 75 percent of any one type of land use will be permitted to dominate the site and to ensure that the Mixed Use area is of a sufficient size to function as an integrated unit this designation reauires a minimum of ten acres. The Mixed Use category may comprise several parcels under different ownership, as long as the parcels are approved as a unified master plan with legal documents recorded prior to development or redevelopment that tie the parcels together. The master plan must be submitted for approval at the time of rezoning and may include multiple phases of development The requirements for the master plan are identified in the Planned Unit Development section of the zoning chapter of the City's Code of Ordinances. Alternative modes of transportation are required in the Mixed Use cateaory to encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact and walkable, living environment and workplace Transitional uses are required to protect adjacent lower intensity and density uses from higher uses. Building heights must be stepped down adjacent to lower intensity and density uses. I-73 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The Future Land Use Map illustrates 141 acres within the Mixed Use Future Land Use cateaory, with 105 acres vacant. The majority of lands havina a Mixed Use future land use designation are located at the southeastern edge of the City at the Oviedo Marketplace (on Dovera Drivel and 40 acres of vacant land on the north side of S.R. 434, immediately west of the GID Other properties havina a Mixed Use designation include several small commercial parcels on the south side of S R 434- one at Heritage Park and one at Stone Gable. In both cases the residential portions of the Mixed Use development have been developed. Approximately 53 acres of the remaining Mixed Use parcels are vacant constrained, with only 52 acres anticipated to be developable. d. Town Center Future Land Use The intent of the Town Center future land use cateaory is to establish a vibrant "downtown" area in the heart of the City based upon traditional neighborhood development (TND) standards which include mixed use development built on a pedestrian scale interconnected arid of streets and blocks. The Town Center is to be a mixed use area where people can live, work and play. Rather than regulate uses in the traditional reactive Euclidean method the Town Center future land use is based on apro-active form-based code which regulates certain design conventions for streets, blocks parks, and the way buildings and other structures relate to them and to one another for the Iona-term. Built along interconnected pedestrian scale street and block networks buildinas are constructed for an adaptive progression of potential uses over their long-term life cycle. Typical uses that are encouraged include shops personal and business services. grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas, hotels offices, civic facilities day care, and residential. The Town Center District allows greater diversity in housing types than other areas of the City. Accessory dwelling units, such as garage apartments are allowed by right and the Town Center has been identified as the area where the City's highest density of housina is appropriate. By right residential density can be developed up to 36 du/gross acre. Initially no minimum density was established, however a policy is now included. which establishes a minimum average density per development so that the economic goals of the Town Center can be realized To date, less than one acre of land has been developed in the density range of 21 1 to 36 du/cross acre. e1--As previously mentioned, the Town Center is the only area within Winter Springs which allows a vertical mix of uses by right. To date one building has been built which includes a vertical mix of uses. However with the economic downturn, development of condominium units has currently halted and developers are returning to the detached single family unit prototype Although a healthy_mix of housina types is appropriate for the Town Center a higher density and intensi~ of residential units is required to support the economic viability of a city center The Town Center is still developing into a place that feels like `a real community belongs to this place.' There are only 250 residential units 84 000 SF of office space and 165.000 SF of retail constructed to date. Public facilities include• City Hall. Winter Springs High School Central Winds Park, and the US Post Office I-74 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Prior to the economic downturn, there were an additional 2040 residential unitst 489,000 SF of office and 418,000 SF of retail in development review, with another 900 residential units 25,000 SF of office and 21 1,000 SF retail and 500 hotel units expected to be added to the Town Center, by build-out. The Future C~r~Land Use Map includes 579 acres within the Town Center Future Land Use category, of which 168 acres are+~ vacant and developable. e. Urban Central Business District In 2005, the City designated an Urban Central Business District (UCBD) in 2005 to promote pedestrian-oriented high intensity and high density in its urban core. The boundaries of the UCBD coincide with the boundaries of the Town Center. One of the purposes behind establishing the UCBD was the opportunity to adopt the State's Development of Regional Impact (DRq threshold for development, as allowed under the Florida Administrative Code: • 800,000 square feet of commercial retail; • 600,000 square feet of office; • 700 hotel units: and • At least 700, but not more than 4,000 residential dwelling units. e:f. Greeneway Interchange District (GID) Future Land Use The purpose for the GID land use category is to set aside an area of the City with proximity to S.R. 417 and the interchange area on S.R. 434. to provide employment centers for target industries and an increased tax base for the Cites The GID category was first defined in conjunction with the City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan adoption. Residential land uses are permitted only under certain limited circumstances, as part of a vertical mix of uses An aepropriate application for residential would be penthouse apartments above high rise offices. Additionally, residential is to be incidental to the other land uses and therefore, is to be limited to no more than 25%. of any one vertically integrated, mixed use structure. The intent of the GID designation is to: • Provide an economic benefit in terms of employment opportunities and increased tax base: • Locate higher intensity uses where roadway capacity can accommodate increased traffic due to short trip distances to major roadways and increased lane capacity at major intersections; I-75 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • • Locate higher intensity uses along major roadways and intersections to reduce development pressures in other areas, thereby minimizing the road congestion and community compatibility impacts. Alternative modes of transportation are required in the GID land use cateaor~to encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact, walkable environment. The GID is located within the "target area" identified by Seminole County in 2007 as the SeminoleWAY. The identified area runs north from S.R. 426 in the City of Oviedo to Interstate 4 in the City of Sanford, following the S.R. 417 corridor. The intent of this target area is to connect to the similar "Innovation Way" in Orange County and to attract high quality, higher income jobs to Seminole County. A variation of Seminole County's High Intensity Planned (HIP) Development land use is being considered by the County as the model for potential land use changes at interchanges serving this corridor. Target Industry Uses appropriate for the GID include: • Financial and Information Services o Legal Services o Architectural Services o Publishers o Associations o CPA's o Headquarters o Insurance o Banks o Telemarketing Bureaus o Financial Transactions Processing o Public Relations Agencies o Credit Bureaus o Advertising Agencies o Consumer Lending o Title Companies o Computer Software and Design • Life Sciences o Hospitals and Medical Education o Diagnostic Imaging Centers o Medical Laboratories o Agri-science Facilities o Outpatient Facilities o Blood and Organ Banks o Research Laboratories o Nursing Care Facilities o Veterinary Services o Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing and Research • Digital Media I-76 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT o Motion Picture and Video Production o Simulation and Training o Teleproduction o Graphic Design o Computer HardwarefSoftware Design and Development o Animation • Technical and Research Services o General Management Consulting o Marketing o Interior Design o Graphic Desiqn Services o Human Resources and Executive Search o Environmental Engineering and Consulting o Precision Instruments o Civil Engineering o Surveying and Mapping o Telecommunications o Industrial Desiqn o Lasers and Photonics • Other o Long Stay Tourism o Convention Center o Hotels and Lodging o International Trade o Sports Associated Industries o Other "basic" businesses and industries with high annual average wages Source: SeminoleWAY Industry and Facility Analysis; Real Estate Research Consultants.

The Future Land Use Map illustrates 296 acres within the GID Future Land Use category, of which all is vacant, but only 169 acres is anticipated to be developable. #:g. Industrial Future Land Use The Industrial future land use category includes all industrial uses permitted under the City's Code of Ordinances. Currently, permitted industrial uses include only light and very light industrial uses typically connected with light manufacturincy assembly processing or storage of products Additionally the Industrial future I-77 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT land use category serves as an area to locate authorized land uses and activities which could have adverse secondary effects (e.a. increased crime; neiahborhood deterioration and blight: property devaluation; economic deterioration; health risks; and other adverse effects) on residential areas, religious institutions, schoolsR parks, day care centers, and other public institutions located within the City. Adult entertainment establishments and sexually oriented businesses are strictly limited to lands designated "Industrial" on the Future Land Use Maw Liaht industrial uses may be located adjacent to urban scale residential land use categories when appropriate transitioning and buffers are provided. Nonconformina uses although not allowed to expand should be allowed to provide appropriate transitioning and buffers to adjacent properties, especially those with incompatible land uses. The maximum floor area ratio for industrial uses is 0.5 FAR. Industrial Planned Unit Developments are also permitted to have a 0.5 FAR. Industrial lands are located predominantly on the north side of the City, along S.R. 41.9.. and along the north side of the CSX railroad, as well as along the east side of U.S. 17-92. ,.. • , There are currently 8acres of land developed in Industrial uses within the Cites The Future Land Use Map illustrates 126 acres with an Industrial future land use classification. Approximately 1 /3 of this acreage is utilized in Public/Semi-Public uses and Commercial uses. Only 7 acres of land designated as Industrial on the future land use map are vacant and developable. h. lie-Public,(Semi-Public Future Land Useles r~,. ..a ,.t. ~c ~a t.. ,a.. mot,„ i-: .~,. ..a The Public/Semi-Public category consists of public and private, nonprofit facilities. This category includes all public structures or lands that are owned, leased, or operated by a government entity, such as civic and community centers, public schools, police and fire stations, and government administration buildings except for those located in the Town Center. These uses (such as City Hall, Winter Springs Hiah School. and the Post Office) have the Town Center designation The nonprofit and semi-public uses include churches, institutions, private schools, group I-78 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT homes, emergency shelters and other similar uses, except for those located in the Town Center and a few facilities located within strip commercial centers Additional uses that could be included in this category are• libraries, hospitals nursing homes, and cemeteries. Although the Existing Land Use table indicates 637 acres in Public/Semi-Public uses, there are only 508 acres with a Public/Semi-Public future land use desianation, due to some facilities being located within the Town Center designation. i. r~Recreation and O en S ace F ture Land Use Til ~r+~F1At1n 41 .unr~ ~i ~ T - ~ TT T~f L 1__ C4(1 - C - - b Y ~ f , , ri-iciiicirciniiii ~E{~L'f3~'i#f3~--~13~1~ ..1_ ,..-..7 .. _.1_ _C ~L LL ~ T~ ThP-~va~tison on ' r T ~ TT T,f t ~..1__ CQn C b Y > > It is the intent of the City to provide an appropriate balance of both active and passive recreation for the community.

The Recreation and Open Space Element analyzes in detail the current and future public park and open space needs of the City population. The Element concluded (Recreation and Open Space Element Table IV-1) that the City has adequate bland to eet ~1-i-e-its overall parkland adopted Llevelg of Service (LOS) of 8 acres/1000 population through 2030, ~ , armed- The LOS includes State and County park lands and trails that are located within the City's jurisdictional boundaries and includes both passive and active lands. Therefore the Cross Seminole Trail is included and Jetta Point County Park will be included, once developed. In addition. the City will have adequate land to meet its overall open space LOS of 4 acres/1000 population standard through 2030, with the conveyance to the City of the 40-acre area in the Town Center known "wetland park" The Existing Land Use table indicates 682 acres in Recreation and Open Space uses and includes private facilities (such as golf courses) and school facilities I-79 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT However. the Future Land Use table includes only public facilities and does not include recreation and open space facilities located within the Town Center such as Central Winds Park In addition, some of the lands identified as Open Space on the Existing Land Use Map have a Conservation future land use designation As a result, the Future Land Use Map illustrates 560 acres within the Recreation and Open Space future land use designation Conservation Future "~~~'---'~ ''~ -~ r' ' "and Use • The::e Conservation future land use categor~~ includes those lands which contain valuable and threatened natural resources, such as flood_plain4, estuarine properties, and unique ecological communities. There are several very noteworthy areas to be considered for possible Ceonservation designations on the Future Land Use Map. The majority of these areas are shown as eConservation HOverlay. Another area that may be suitable for eConservation use is along the Lake Jesup shoreline. This area needs to be considered for eConservation use because of its unique ecological value, for the protection of shoreline vegetation and because it is within the 100-year flood_plain. The City should pursue grants that would enable the purchase those areas that are desirable for permanent designation as eConservation k~c3-tr~on the Future Land Use Map, or pursue agreements with property owners to preserve these resources. Table I-4 indicates . , , that 1,264 acres are within the Conservation future land use cateaor~ k. Conservation Overlay The Conservation Overlay area shown on the Future Land Use Map (PLUM) is intended to identify lands that may potentially contain protected wildlife habitat areas, hvdric soils/wetlands, and special vegetative communities Included within the Conservation Overlay definition are areas within a public water well radius of 500 feet, within the 100-year floodplain and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints The area designated as Conservation Overlay on the PLUM is not intended to prevent development but rather identify sensitive areas that need to be reviewed carefully during the review process to determine whether development should be permitted or if some form of mitigation may be necessary. If the areas are determined not to be sensitive then the underlying land use development density andfor intensity will be applicable The Conservation Overlay includes approximately 343 acres of existing vacant land Vacant lands within the Conservation Overlay are designated as Vacant Constrained on the Existing Land Use Maw 7. ~-Redevelopment • I-80 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • I,~,u;, ~~ ;; ~~... r,r..~.- p..,..~ ic_v. ,x:, ,...,....Most housing units in the City are less than thirty years old. .. . The older homes that were part of the original town are in most part still occupied. Asa result, few properties have been left unattended or allowed to degrade below standard conditions. In 2000, the City entered into a partnership arrangement with the Wyman Fields Foundation to acauire and rehabilitate over aseven-year period, 232 apartments/townhouses around the Moss Road area .. Phase I consisted of the acquisition of 52 auadro-plex rental units in April 2000 and the rehabilitation of those 52 units for conversion into home ownership }- -~ '-~~--~~ within atwo-year period. ~~c T ~-.` `~~ '-~~-° ~~~~-Ln,~The 52 units located on hoden Lane and Kristi Ann Court were completed and sold. However. before additional phases of the °~-'~°'-~'~~~~~~~ ..c ~~-~: ,project on Lori Ann Lane and or Lan could be completed, the foundation became financially insolvent. The City initially utilized $909 655 of the "Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 1999" as start-up funds with the intent that the loan would be paid back to the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation }- Fund. as the units were sold. The intent was to recover at least 101 % of the initial investment.

CurrentlX~ the 306 Revolving, Rehabilitation Fund has a balance of over $1 million available for any improvement project that the City eems appropriate, as long as the City complies with the terms of the Bond The City should continue pursuing the rehabilitation of deteriorating structures in the City and should continue to partner with agencies which work to rehabilitate deteriorated housing and neighborhoods. Additionally, the City should hold one or more visioning workshops to discuss specific issues that may impede infill and redevelopment activities and identify locations priorities and implementation strategies for potential infill development and redevelopment The first workshop should include City and County Staff with familiarity of the pertinent issues and concerns with a second workshop including property owners and tenants. 8:Followina the visioning exercise, the City should process any needed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, and/or Code of Ordinances and post the vacant parcel map and database illustrating infill development and redevelopment opportunities on the City's website. As part of this effort, the City should consider I-81 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT providing incentives for infill development and redevelopment that support the City's targeted program priorities. 8~.-Inconsistent Land Uses Those uses, or areas which will be made nonconforming by adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, will be precluded from either increasing the degree of nonconformity or from development of new nonconforming uses. The intent is to allow the continuation of those lots, structures, uses, characteristics of use, or some combinations of these, which were lawful before adoption of the Comprehensive P_I_an, until they are removed through discontinuance, abandonment, amortization, or demolition. The terms "nonconforming" or "nonconformity" mean any lot, structure, use of land or structure, or characteristic of any use or structure which was lawful at the time of subdivision, site plan approval, construction, commencement, certificate of occupancy, or certificate of use. which over time no longer complies with the Comprehensive Plan, other applicable law, or City Code, due to a subsequent change in the Comprehensive Plan, other applicable law, or the Citx_ Code. The City recognizes that there may be limited and special circumstances in which nonconformities may be inconsistent with the City Code. but not inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan or other applicable law. In these limited and special circumstances. where the overall community and public policy objectives of the City are served by the continuance of a nonconformity, the City may, hold a public hearing and provide a special permit for the nonconformity. Such a special permit max include the imposition of conditions or safegyards as a condition of approval. In considering FLUM amendments, such amendments should comply with all applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and should not be "balanced" among differingportions of the plan. ~~ ~~ ~ i I-82 Z w w W N 0 Z Q J w H LL _N a m a 'N^ ~ V Z Z c ~ J J N d ~ w ~ ~ N ~ Z Z ~ = N w w ~ O ~ ~, ~O ~ V V ~ o~ d d N `c c d ~ ~ N ~ c a~i C O i V V ~ ~ V ~ i V i ~ ~ ~ V v ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ i I i I i I ak a ~ o~ a ~ ~ f\ N N ~ °o d ~ ~ ° a - NI ~I ~I ~I "'I NI ~I ~I nl of ~I ~ ~ > > d Z Z D m at ~- C m NI ~I MI OI MI I ~I NI OI OI I C d ~ Z Z M O Q U d w ~ ~ •- ~ C ~ v C ~ u C ~ v ~- C N ~ C N ~ C ~ a- C d +- C ~ C N ~ C N r- C W C ~•: Q/ Q N W N ~ L ~ ~ ~ ~ i i u ~ d ~ ~ M M v N 1~ ch ~ •~ 1~ "~ C~ m I I ~ I I ~I ~I I I "I ~I l ~ ~ ~ ~ O, ~ a N ~ N h ~ ~ Q N ~ dl ~ ~ V a, a o a ° V V c v N w d p a p a N ~ a ! a ~ a ~ a ~ a~ N ~ m ~O ch ~ * ~ oc ~ ~ a •~ Q O O ~ ~ lL Q a Q a ~ LL. lL LL ~ Q ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O Q ~ Q ~ ~ ~ ~ N ~ ~ ~ -~ -a ~ O w N - w~ " ~ 0 0 0 0 ~ ~ ~ ~ o a O ~ ~ a O N ~ o Z 'x o ~n o C M p; fV y~ V ' ~, .` c o ~ m ~ ~ V a O V ~ a N ~ a != v u N O C N ~ c ~+ ~ c L - a • r c O J ~' ~ c _ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ C ~ a ~ al ~ N CO a ~ a ~ 3 o ~ s _ v ~ ~ a U c ~ a~ ~ v ~ m ~ ~ ~ LL ~ Q) ~ ~ ~I ~ ~ ~ i ~'. ~ ~ M i ~--~ CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT i• i• PLAN ~nn~'~c:c~~b1e ~e 4 ~ea~ge 3 A9~~8 ~ ~ A ^ ~ I 8~ a e ruc 8-N- µ - ~d ~-l ~i~-! ~} r,~ c,~ 8 Sn11f~°' ~it~r sad «~iccx vPxa:gS~ixQ iaft~ ~e9f~#3 '~i3tlBV8ff9ft8, ~t3e ~ ~88~ I - 85 ~~ i• N Z OC d N OC w H Z 3 0 • i~ i• Transportation Element EAR-Based Amendments, May 2009 • Entire Paae Struck • «r,„.o,. c„..;„~,~ ~i„ria., z~~n4 ~~oo ~~ CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT ~ TABLE OF CONTENTS A.

II-14 r~ u CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT B. INTRODUCTION The City-~~ '~ is located within an urbanized portion of a Metropolitan Planning Organization ~sj- r~m~C-r.~METROPLAN ORLANDO). Therefore, the City is required by the State to adopt a Transportation Element, as opposed to a Traffic Circulation Element, and to coordinate the element with the long-range transportation plan of tyre METROPLAN ORLANDO. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a w-~~~~~ultimodal transportation system that emphasizes accessibility by placing emphasis on public transportation systems; encourages the development of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban areas; promotes energy efficient development patterns; and protects air quality. An essential base for planning a transportation system is the Future Land Use Element. The Future Land Use Map will determine where new or improved transportation facilities may be needed. The Transportation Element will assess the condition and capacity of the existing transportation facilities, project future needs, set Levels of Service (LOS) standards for roads and determine future system improvements. Roadway'°-~ ~' ~~`.~~~~-~~~~LOS standards will be established to ensure that adequate facility capacity for future development is concurrently sufficient with the issuance of development orders and c~e~elc~~-permits. These standards will be established for each roadway link consistent with the facility type, and current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) LOS guidelines. The transportation planning process in Seminole County is a joint effort among various federal, state, regional, county and municipal agencies working together with METROPLAN ORLANDO~ke ~~. This agency ensures that highways, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation facilities are coordinated and planned consistent with planned development in the urbanized area. In September 2004, METROPLAN ORLANDO adopted the ~'~«_«~~ 2025 Lona Range Transportation Plan efor the Orlando Urban Area,. a 20-year ~eck~+nultimodal plan for guiding transportation improvements in the Orlando urban area (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Ecounties). The plan is based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting future travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the region. The plan recommends road, highway, beltway, rail, and transit system improvements to be implemented by ?{~?E~2025. The plan represents the best combination of financial resources and improvements to meet the goals and objectives of the study. C. INVENTORY An efficient transportation system should provide access to various land uses through alternative transportation modes. The overview of the existing ~,~~,~~,~;,~~ultimodal transportation system within the City provides the basis for analyzing existing transportation deficiencies and needs within the City. This section will identify existing roadway and transit facilities, availability of public parking facilities, airport and rail line systems, availability of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other ancillary services and programs. II-15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 1. Road System This section describes the major roadway facilities within the City, their jurisdictional responsibilitx, and their relative function to the City's circulation system. Historically, the City has been an automobile dependent, suburban community .served by one major north- south County road, Tuskawilla Road and one major east-west route, S R 434 which is primarily a 4-lane arterial highway Other major roads in the City and vicinity are S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressways S R 419 U.S. 17-92 Red Bug Lake Road, and East Lake Drive The City's roadway network is displayed on Map II-1 This network of roads serves not only the residents and employees of Winter Springs, but also neighboring municipalities. > , . , • _ _~~4-r•~}`S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressway): ''~~y A north-south "w~~~~~°' :' °~°~~°'four-lane divided limited access expressway located along the eastern boundary of the City, which provides access to Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. ~ , • U.S. 17-92: A federal nWorth-south principal arterial located along the west boundary of the City. It connects with Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. The route passes through Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Casselberry, Longwood, Winter Springs, Lake Mary and Sanford. It is currently a six-lane undivided facility ~r~where adjacent to the City~r `r-~'~;=r~~~trr~r, and four lanes north of Shepard Road. • S.R. 434: A state principal arterial that runs from '~:~'~~~•-•~~~° T'~--° ~° ° r'°'°-'a° t~-south of Altamonte Springs north to Longwood, then east through the center of Winter Springs to Oviedo, xx~then south past the University of Central Florida to ~....~ ~-~,~_:,., r~..:__..S.R. 50 east of Orlando. S.R. 434 within the City ~` `~ ~riags is primaril~a four-lane facility-, with a portion of the road east of S.R. 417 consisting of a two-lane segment. S.R. 434 passes through the Town Center, the City's concentrated mixed-use downtown urban center. Because the Town Center is apedestrian-oriented environment, the posted speed of 45 miles per hour on S.R. 434 poses safety and other issues for pedestrian crossings. • S.R. 419: A state minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to U.S. 17-92 near Lake Mary. Within the City :, it is a two-lane undivided facility. • Tuskawilla Road: A four-lane (;county minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to S.R. 426 near the Orange County line. • Red Bug Lake Road: A four-lane Ccount~principal arterial that runs from S.R. 436 in Casselberry east to S.R. 426 in Oviedo where it turns into Mitchell Hammock Roa . II-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT • East Lake Drive: A realignment and widening of this facility was completed in 2008. It presently functions as a four-lane C-county minor arterial that runs from Tuskawilla Road west to Seminola Boulevard which provides eat access to U.S. 17-92. The recent improvements to the facility provide a convenient alternative for many trips that would otherwise utilize S.R. 434. • • a. Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibili~ Thg_ jurisdictional responsibility of each roadway is described above. In summary, ~-the _ '~ City's road stem includes one limited access facility (S.R. 4171. three state arterials~z~~ ~U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434 and S.R. 419;1 and c~etwo County arterials, Tuskawilla Road. _ and East Lake Drive-~-d-, There is also one County collector (a portion of Shepard Road), x~~~t-tit+~e {~9nineteen (19) City collectors, and three local roads included in the classification. b. Functional Classification Table II-1, Table II-2 and Map II-1 show the functional classification of major roads in the City-$€-~k~~~. The functional classification of public roads in this element is based on FDOT criteria, which Win: ~~consider quantitative and qualitative factors such as jurisdiction, land access, route length, and trip lengths. A road hierarchy is used to identify relative importance of roads within the system, provide guidance for 1~~~' ~rn„-s~~a~~~LOS and design standards, aid in establishing improvement priorities, identify maintenance responsibility, and assist in determining funding and financing policies. The hierarchy used in this element includes: (1) Limited Access Facilities: Designed to provide regional mobility via uninterrupted flow at high travel speeds for regional trips. Access spacing is generally on the order of one mile or more, and average travel speeds are above 40 miles per hour. There is no direct land access, and urban freeways are multi-lane, divided facilities. Lane access is always via ramps to major arterials or frontage roads. S.R. 417, ~;~~~"~~' '~'~~~~•'~ ~,..,,,,.,,,..,,. ...i_:,_i, (Seminole Expressway) is part of the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHSj;-is and the only limited access facility within the City II-17 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT • (2) Arterials: Provide regional mobility via both uninterrupted flow and interrupted flow segments. Arterials provide mobility around and through urban and community cores, and accommodate relatively long trip lengths as opposed to providing access to adjacent properties. Arterials are sometimes further classified for performance as Class I, II, and III based on the number of signals per mile, access controls, geometric cross sections, and speed limits. (3) Collectors: Provide for movement between local streets and the arterial network. Collectors serve residential, commercial and industrial areas. (4) Local Roads: Provide direct access to abutting properties. Local roads accommodate traffic originating in or traveling to properties within a neighborhood, commercial or industrial development. Local roads are not considered part of the major thoroughfare system. c. Constrained Facilities • `~~~'~~~--Subsection 339.155, '~'~~°~'~ `'~'~~`~~:~ makes governmental police powers available to preserve and protect property necessary for transportation corridors and recommends that needed trights-of-way be acquired as far in advance of construction as possible. FDOT requests that local governments identify constrained roadways in their comprehensive plans to ensure maintenance of the operating conditions, so that significant degradation in the le~ei --~i~LOS does not occur. A constrained roadway is one in which adding two or more through lanes to meet current or future needs is not possible due to physical, environmental or policy barriers: ' , With the development of the Town Center and its pedestrian orientation, the conflicts and potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians continue to increase. To assist in maintaining the pedestrian orientation of the Town Center, the City of Winter Springs will coordinate with the Florida Department of Transportation to see if a variance to Rule 14-94, F.A.C. can be obtained. d. '' ~~-Crash Locations --'~~~~~:~~Crash analysis is critical because it provides a tool for City and state officials to recommend appropriate safety measures. AeFider~Crash frequency along with roadway performance can be used to prioritize future roadway needs. Table II-3 shows n~~~z~~m.rash data for 21~-f2007, compiled by Seminole County Traffic Engineering from reports provided b~ the Winter Springs Police Department. It shows those road segments with 5 ~~~~~rashes or more during that year, and Map II-2 visually depicts those areas. The road segment with the largest number of incidents was S.R. 434 at Tuskawilla Road with 3i4 ~~~~29 crashes. • II-18 ~ ~ ,- r H ~' S r e ! a ~ ~ ~ / i „ s _ ,~ is ,1 ~ 1 _ ~M ~ ~ r LL._ :; . _ ~ Z ~ . ~ . _ ~ , L ~_ . , -~ -~ L • J S ' I 7 ~ <'I • I !' • ' ~ r ~ ~~ ~ ~ , / _ - ~ ~~ ^a ,M -- ' ~ .-r i ~ - . 1 - ~ ~. ~ ~ - ~ ~ +~ __ ~- , •~ ~~~„~ l" ~ ~ ~ '` ;~ { + .1 ~ ~Y a ~ ' X . i Q p ww °uw t A, • ~ ~v.. ~t ~.. ~' ... ;+ i r, ~. i o f • ~I 5 O~ a III • • Z W w J W Z ~_ E- Q F- ~I a N Z Q t- c~ zz ~g ~~ w H > Z N _Z 3= ,~ w o~ ~o U U i i I ~~Y,~II ~.V.Nlt1t3 va3iSV"9 •t ~~Ar~~r ~lr ,J ~cJV) 1~i) ' in V ~^ r ~~ ~ '~ ~ z 7 N ~' ~ l7 ~ _ (C V V t ~ i~ ~~ Li ¢i ~ ~~~ '7Nd 117!15 i.1 u r' -l C % 1 1 = Qt -> Y Z S K _ a a s -- > _ n / ^ 1 + J.) .~ (c / mow. \ J I~ . • 1~ M1 ; ~l i () • lY` ~^ ~~ ^ 1 2, ^ ~ ~+ (i ri ~i j as booe ~; ~ ` ~ ,w ~ ~.. ~ ~ a- ,~ ~ ~ ~; ~, +., :. ~ ~ ~ -, { ~ .~ cy J; ;., _ ~, J . ~n a .~ ~3~J x BLWJ. a '~+EOP?

Signalized Intersections The location of signalized intersections is shown on Map II-2. Most of the intersections in the City use stop signs rather than traffic signals. Traffic lights are located mainly along S.R. 434, S.R. 419, and Tuskawilla Road. f. Evacuation Routes • The City - :-adopted the Peace Time Emergency Plan in 1997. The plan outlines responsibilities for all departments in the City in the case of a man- made or natural disaster of local scale. For large-scale disasters, the City follows the County's Comprehensive Emergency Plan. This plan does not identify evacuation routes, as Seminole County is a "receiving area4"; but lists the shelters available. All schools in the City" ~ can serve as shelter sites. 2. Public Transit System The fixed route bus transit system in Seminole County is operated by LYNX, which 4er~e4 ~'~°-~~~ ----~-~ ~~~;focuses its service on Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, with some service to Pofk, Volusia and Lake Counties (see Map II-3).

A new east-west route (Link 434) also known as the S.R. 434 Crosstown, connects Routes 103 and 47. The Crosstown service begins at Oviedo Marketplace, and runs along S.R. 417 to S R 434, then follows the S.R. 434 corridor through Longwood and Altamonte Springs terminating at the Rosemont Superstop in northwest Orlando. This service, funded !~ FDOT and Seminole County is to be a 2-year demonstration project beginning in April 2009 It will~rovide the City with a much needed bus route to the City's major traffic generators. The route will be a feeder route providing connecting service to the planned Longwood Commuter Rail (sSunRail) Station SunRail is scheduled to begin service in 201 1. As public transit service is implemented, the City will coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO and LYNX to assist in maintaining the Count's adopted LOS of 1.03 revenue miles per capita per year. 3. Parking System At this time, the City '~ does not have any significant public parking facilities. Mayor events which demand additional public parking are accommodated by a coordinated and cooperative effort between the City and private landowners. 4. Bicycle System The FDEP~~ •'~'~• ~~ ~~'~. ~~,~~anl 1'~.~«~~.~,..'s Office of Greenways and Trails owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a portion of which is located in the City~~~te~~.'. The Seminole County Parks and Recreation Department is in charge of maintaining the trail. An Interlocal Agreement exists between the City ri and Seminole County regarding use and maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail. The City .'s Parks and Recreation Department assisted with the design of the restroom facility located at the Black Hammock trailhead, located within the jurisdictional limits of the City, and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom facility. A 1.8-mile section of the trail corridor along S.R. 426 (south of Red Bug Lake Road) is owned by FDOT. The Cross Seminole Trails-~rtl currently runs from ~,~°a°~~° °--~•~••°Layer Elementary School in Winter Springs to the intersection of S.R. 434 and S_R. 426 in downtown Oviedo; -k~t~. Other built sections of the trail (located in Seminole County] include from CR 46A south to Greenway Boulevard in Lake Mary and from Mikler Road to the Orange County Line. The Cross Seminole Trail connects with the Seminole Wekiva Trail via the I-4 Pedestrian Bridge in Lake Mary. Upon completion. the Cross Seminole Trail will °--•~`--°"-,-be a 34.5- mile long continuous trail linking Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo and connecting to the Cady Way Trail and the Orange County Trail System. The trail will run from Spring Hammock II-34 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Preserve in Winter Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect §several parks including: Central Winds Park, Soldier's Creek Park, Big Tree Park, Greenwood Lakes Park, Sweetwater Creek Park, Torcaso Park, Lawton House Park, and Spring Hammock. The trail will also connect seven schools: Layer Elementary, Winter Springs High School, Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary, Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo High School, and Lawton Elementary. '' .. , ~., , The trail is currently under construction from the Oviedo Mall to S.R. 434. Design is complete on the segment from Mikler to Red Bug Lake Road and construction is scheduled to begin in late 2008. A pedestrian overpass is programmed to be constructed over Red Bug Lake Road beginning in the fall 2008, with a connection to S.R. 426 near the Oviedo Mall. The trail will also be realigned by the FDOT S.R. 426 widening project. The trail will cross at the signalized intersection of Marketplace Blvd 8~ S.R. 426 and connect with the trail corridor along Aulin Avenue. Existing and future portions of the Cross Seminole Trail are depicted in the Recreation and Open Space Element. The Conceptual City Trails Network Map, located in the Recreation and Open Space Element, identifies opportunities for increased bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the City. The City has had recent success in securing funding for bicycle and pedestrian amenities through FDOT grants and the "Safe Routes to School" program. The City should continue to explore opportunities for implementing additional interconnecting bike routes and trails. As the Town Center and GID develop, there may be an opportunity to provide shorter and easier bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between these activity centers. The configuration of the Cross Seminole Trail will take the trail from the Town Center south across S.R. 434 via an overpass, then east to the Black Hammock Trailhead where a second S.R. 434 crossing would be necessary to provide access to the GID to the north. Options for a more direct bicycle/pedestrian route north of S.R. 434 linking the two centers could be considered by the City, but is should be noted that a wetland crossina would be required and undeveloped property might need to be purchased. The Citx could explore provision of pedestrian and f or bicycle accommodations along S.R. 434 that would provide a less direct route, but would likely minimize additional right-of-way needs. As noted above, the corridor could be shared with local transit service linking the Town Center and the GID.

Pedestrian System .~ ;ao ,.ii. r :r.~: The analysis of existing pedestrian conditions found that the City was well served by sidewalks, but encouraged identification of missing links and prioritization of improvements to enhance pedestrian connectivity. The Cross Seminole Trail discussed in the Recreation and Open Space Element offers alternate pedestrian and bicycle paths into the heart of the Town Center and equestrian /hiking trails around the periphery The City has coordinated with the FDOT regarding various issues concerning S.R. 434 and general agreement has been reached on resolving many of the issues such as access involving the pedestrian-oriented Town Center area. However, the issue of posted roadway speed limits on S.R. 434 through the Town Center has not yet been resolved. FDOT will require a detailed engineering study to jystify the City's request for a lower speed limit, in accordance with the applicable Florida Statutes. A speed study for S.R. 434 was conducted by FDOT in 2008 which resulted in reducing the posted speed limit from 50 mph to 45 mph from Central Winds Parkway to Tuskawilla Road. Further reductions may be achievable in conjunction with development of the Town Center. Approximately 1.5 miles of S.R. 434 passes through the area designated on the Future Land Use Map as Town Center. Presently3 this portion of the highway is part of a segment considered a Class I arterial with less than two signalized intersections per mile. At least one additional traffic signal within the Town Center area is planned at Michael Blake Blvd., which would result in more than two intersections per mile. As the Town Center continues to develop, it will be appropriate to readdress how the Town Center area is viewed in terms of roadway class and to work with FDOT to determine if the Town Center segment's characteristics should result in the segment being designated a Class II arterial with 2 to 4.5 signals per mile. The designation of the segment as a Class II arterial would allow for a change in the speed limit (currently 45 mphl to as low as 35 mph according to FDOT's generalized characteristics of arterial classes. A reduction of vehicle speeds on S.R. 434 through the Town Center would result in an environment much more conducive to the high levels of pedestrian activity anticipated for the Town Center at buildout. Such a reduction in vehicle speeds would be supported by FDOT's mission, the four key components of which are safety, mobility, economic prosperity, and the quality of the environment and communities. Although the Class II arterial designation would be based on an approximately 1.5 mile seament _(FDOT guidelines for arterial facility analysis have a general recommended length of at least one mile), it might be appropriate to have a reduced speed limit only in the core of the downtown area. The City has identified the key corridor as being a 0.6 mile segment from Doran Drive to the Cross Seminole Trail Bridae. It should be noted that a 35 mph speed limit is currently in effect on S.R. 434 for an approximately 0.3 mile distance in downtown Longwood. To create a central core downtown pedestrian-friendly district in the Town Center, retrofits to S.R. 434 will be essential to the existing streetscape. Coordination will be necessarx II-37 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT with the Florida Department of Transportation to address proposed hardscape and landscaping alternatives including the narrowing of vehicular travel lanes, the demarcation of bicycle lanes, the addition of landscaped medians, on-street parking, and pedestrian crosswalks. Coordination with FDOT will also be required to determine if a policy constraint to prohibit the widening of S.R. 434 in the Town Center area is aepropriate. 6. Intermodal Facilities Intermodal facilities are those transportation elements that accommodate and interconnect different modes of transportation and serve interstate, intrastate and international movement of people and goods. Some facilities considered intermodal include ports, airports, bus stations and train terminals. The Intermodal Surface Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation encourages the provision of efficient access to these intermodal facilities. There are no public airports within the City limits. The closest public airport is #k~e Orlando-_Sanford International Airport in Sanford. In late 2008, the facility was served by five airlines with regularly scheduled service along with several charter airlines. Direct flights are available to 31 destinations in the United States as well as four European cities. r-d- The City as only one active rail line within the City limits. It is operated by CSX and runs along S.R. 419 and terminates just east of Wade Street, within the City's~er-~3i Industrial areal~r-k. It is currently used for freight trains only. FDOT, in cooperation with the federal and local governments, is planning to implement a commuter rail project (SunRaill that will follow a generallx north-south route along 61 miles of existing track. The first phase, to consist of a 32.5-mile segment, will run from Orlando to DeBary and is anticipated to be operational in 201 1. Twelve stations are planned for the first phase, with the nearest one to the City to be located in Longwood. LYNX's planned 434 Crosstown route will be a feeder route, connecting the City with the SunRail system. Until very recently, Seminole County was serviced by Greyhound Transportation Services with a bus terminal in Sanford. That facility is no longer included on the list of stations shown on the company's website. The City~~'' is located along the south shore of Lake Jesup. The lake is currently used for recreational boating and fishing. I-r ~; -~~r~c~'--~ ~t s~~Although it was used for steamboat transport services in the late 1800's, the lake is no longer used for transportation purposes. D. TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS Transportation can have a major role shaping the spatial and functional organization of a community. It can determine the size, scale, status and identity of a community. However, there are other contributing factors that need to be considered, such as the personal, social, physical, environmental, economic and cultural attributes of the community. This section will analyze existing conditions of the transportation system to provide a comprehensive assessment of the various transportation facilities and services, and their relationship with existing land uses. II-38 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT This section will also address growth trends, travel patterns, and interactions between land use and transportation, including the compatibility between future land uses and transportation systems. The City ~' is an integral part of the Orlando Urban Area. Additionally, the City is one of the larger municipalities within Seminole County and is located primarilybetween two principal arterials, S.R. 434 and Red Bug Lake Road. As such, transportation planning for Winter Springs requires close cooperation with other planning efforts within the Orlando region and Seminole County. For this reason, the transportation planning methodology used to develop the transportation plan must necessarily be compatible with transportation methodologies in adjacent jurisdictions. In order to accomplish this requirement, extensive use of data sources and planning models from the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUATS) and the Seminole County Transportation Management Program (TMP) were used in the development of the Citv's`Y- ~} Transportation Plan. Existing deficiencies on city, county and state systems were defined and Capital Improvement Programs identified to resolve these transportation deficiencies. Forecasts of anticipated land use/socio-economic activities for 2010 were made and the validated transportation models applied against them. This allowed the definition of future capacity deficiencies so that funding sources can be developed to correct these deficiencies. 1. c..,."' ~'~~~~~~--~- • ^-rowth Trends The 2000 U. S.

Roadway Current Performance The 1985 Growth Management Act established two important responsibilities for local governments. The first was to set'~~--~~' ~~F: ~~---~~~~{LOS} standards for public facilities within the jurisdiction as part of the comprehensive plan. The second was to ensure that the public facilities and services proposed in the Capital Improvements Element of the local comprehensive plan were available concurrent with the development. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires that adopted '~~•••~' -~F :•~ ~~~LOS II-39 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT standards be achievable and financially feasible. The standards set a minimum service level that the City must maintain for each of the public facilities, including roadways. The roadway LOS concept is defined in the FDOT'.~~:,'« ?~~}~~.~~....~.~ ~~ ''"- -*~~ (->A9~ Quality/Level of Service Standards Handbook (2002) as a qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow, and is measured by a scale of driver satisfaction.

FDOT adopted statewide minimum '-°-~' -~~ :~~-~~~~LOS standards for the estate highway system. The minimum '~----' -_c : --~-~----LOS standards are used for planning applications, including the review of local government plans.

TAI~I~-~ ~ ~~.,.~~~.~~~_ ' ~~~T~~~~-~e~~~~lr«er?A(Tl Projected 2012 Levels of Service are presented in .Table II-7 The standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as follows: • LOS A - A condition of road performance where traffic density is very low, with little or no restrictions in maneuverability. Drivers can maintain their desired speed with little or no delay. • LOS B - A condition of road performance where traffic density is low and vehicles travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speeds. • LOS C - A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow. Drivers might have limitations to maneuver and to increase speeds. • LOS D - A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable. Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers have little freedom to maneuver. In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable conditions. • LOS E -Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop-and-go situations may happen. In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and traffic density is high. • LOS F -This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to II-40 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT operate at very low speeds. Stop-and-go situations are frequent and in extreme cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time.

The 2002 FDOT Generalized Tables flee "`'--~Tf--~}-were used m~-'grin 2005 to evaluate roadway performance in the City-s-f~d~~}~.- These tables have since been updated to 2007 FDOT Generalized Tables. which were used for more recent general analysis (see Table II-6~ A 1~~---~' --` : -~~-~~~~LOS analysis was performed to determine existing deficiencies. The capacity analysis was based on the FDOT Generalized Peak Hour Directional Maximum Service Volumes for different roadway types. U.S. 17-92 showed deficiencies in the 2012 forecast north of Shepard Road, where U.S. 17-92 is a four-lane section. Seminole County is planning to widen this segment of U.S. 17-92 to 6 lanes: however, the construction phase of the project is not funded and the schedule for construction is uncertain. Deficiencies were also identified in the 2012 forecast for S.R. 419 from U.S. 17-92 to S.R. 434 S.R. 434 from U.S. 17-92 to Moss Road and from S.R. 419 to Tuskawilla Road. However, the forecast did not account for additional collector roads added within the Town Center. In 2005, a traffic corridor study was prepared to analyze the Town Center and it showed that S.R. 434 could accept the traffic from the Town Center at build-out for the developments. • I I-41 • • • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Table II - 6• Generalized Annual Average Daily Volumes for Florida's Urbanized Areas (!V11"TI'RRI'trTED I'L01ti' IIIGHN'AYS FREEWAYS I,eve! of Scrvtce lnterchenge spacing? 2 mi apart lanes Dn idr.-d A 8 (' t) E; Level of Servil:c 2 Utdrvafrd '_.'_(iii 7F(x~ IS.WO 21,3W 27,100 l.arles A B C D F. 4 Divtdai 2(?4ix1 33.01x) 47,8(x( 61,800 70.21x) 4 23,800 39,600 35,200 67,100 74,600 b t>nrded 3(?SUO 49,5(x( 71,6W 927W 1054W 6 36,900 61,100 85,3W 103.600 115,3W STATE TW'O-N"Al' ARTERIALS 8 49,900 82,700 113,300 140.200 156,0(10 ('lass I (x).00 to 199 signalized intersections per mile) 10 63,OW 104,ZW 145,SW 176,9W 196,400 Level of Service 12 75,900 125,800 175,500 213,500 237,100 larks Divided A B C U E (lydrvdcd '• 1,200 13,800 16,400 16,900 Interchange spacing < 2 mi. apart 4 Divided 4,8W 29,300 34,7W 35,700 •'• LtvelofService 6 Dn~ided 7,3130 44,700 52,100 53,500 ••• Lanes A B C D E R Divided 9,400 58,000 66,100 67,800 ••• 4 22,OW 36,000 32,OW 67,200 7b,500 h 34,8W 56,SW 81,700 IU5,800 120,2IX) Class II 12.00 to 4.30 sigrmlized intcrsectiom per mile) R 47,8(3(1 77,W0 t 11,400 14A.3W 163,9(10 Level of Sen•ice 10 60,200 97,500 141,20() 182,60(1 207.6W l.ancSDivided A B C U Is 12 72,900 118,100 170,900 223,I(x1 231:'00 L'ndn'ded •• 1,900 11,200 15,4{)0 16,3W 4 Dlvdcd •• 4.100 26.000 32,7W 34,SW 6 llivtded " b,SW 40,3W 49,200 SI,BW BICYCLE NODF.

The improvements within Winter Springs and the surrounding roadway network may alleviate or delay deficiencies identified in the 2012 forecast. Additionally, while use of the 2007 FDOT generalized tables may indicate that certain facilities may not be operating at an acceptable LOS a detailed analysis of those facilities might show that they are in fact operating at an acceptable LOS Map II-4 shows the most recent LOS data available for the primary links in the City's network. . , 3. Future Roadway Performance The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) was used for all of the City's travel demand forecasting. The traffic simulation process was accomplished as noted in Section 4 which follows. Consistency with the ~:~~~~'~_= METROPLAN ORLANDO model (OUATS) data and traffic zone structure was maintained through the process in forecasting the city's travel demand. Table II-F,7 shows the ?A-1~-2012 traffic conditions as projected. Deficiencies are protected for U S 17-92 north of Shepard Road S R 434 from S.R. 419 to Tuskawilla Road S.R. 434 from U.S. 17-92 to Moss Road. and S.R. 419 from U.S. 17-92 to S.R. 434. The ~roiedion does not take into consideration the additional collector roads added within the Town Center which will help to alleviate the projected deficiency. Improvements to U.S. 17-92 S.R. 419 S.R. 434, and S.R. 417 are the responsibility of the State. Tl t 'll 1... F ......] T T C 17 (17 .. ..«L. ..t CL..~..,,..~1 TJ~.,,.7 /e~rd.~..t ,....

Model Development and Validation To adequately forecast future traffic conditions in a rapidly urbanizing area such as the City-e :, a set of transportation planning models must be developed and validated. In the case of the City „r w~~i~~, such models exist and these models have been previously used to develop City, regional and county wide plans. These models are contained in the model set documented for the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study O~ UATS). In order to provide the more detailed analysis required for the City :~, this model set was modified. These modifications include the development of a more detailed TAZ set (microzones), a more detailed highway network, and the use of the '''U.'~.«"'."`T'FSUTMS ---~~a~' ~~ These changes require the validation of the model set used in this process even though this model set is derived from and closely resembles the OUATS model set. This model set has been modified as detailed below. a. OUATS Model Set The transportation planning models used in the OUATSrrn~~F~-~~-7~~e~ have evolved from a set of models developed in the mid- sixties and based upon extensive home interviews conducted at that time. The model set is divided into four general functions and modifications to each of these functions have occurred over the last twenty-five years. b. Trip Generation The existing OUATS trip generation model is a cross-classification person trip production model with attractions calculated using expressions derived from regression analysis. This model currently uses 11 purposes including special generator purposed for the major tourist attractions, the various universities and colleges in the region, and Orlando International Airport. The model requires extensive data not generally available such as the forecast of the median income and car ownership by zone for the calculation of home-based productions. c. Trip Distribution The OUATS trip distribution model utilizes each of the 11 purposes for which productions and attractions are generated. Friction factors for each of these 1 1 purposes have been developed, although the special generator purposes generally borrow friction factors from other purposes. There are not K-factors utilized in the model. d. Modal_plit~Auto Occupancx The OUATS model set includes amulti-nominal logit expression for calculation of splits of trips to the transit sector. Auto occupancy is calculated with simple rates by purpose. The modal split is system-sensitive in that it requires the coded description of a transit system. • II-57 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT e. Traffic Assignment The current OUATS traffic assignment equilibrium assignment with capacity network descriptions in accordance Transportation Planning System (UTPS) Transportation. procedure consists of a -Ffour-iteration restraint. This process is applied using with the 1979 version of the Urban developed by the U.S_ Department of f. Trip Generation Modifications In order to make use of the data available from Seminole County and to avoid the necessity to forecast income and car ownership as required by the OUATS trip generation model, modifications were made to this model. The trip generation models used are based upon the OUATS models, but these models incorporate simpler rate expressions instead of the more complex cross-classification models. These models have successfully been used numerous times in Winter Springs and in the greater Orlando area including ~'~:; ~•"~~°~- ~~.~ F~- Seminole County-~e~ee~~ . , t~ec~els-. The models were used to forecast trip generation for the ~ ity's 2005 Transportation Study and the 2007 Impact Fee Study. The models forecast vehicle trips instead of person trips so they additionally do not require a separate auto occupancy model. 'c~- • g. Use of OUATS 1 1 Trip Purpose Models Since trip generation expressions were available for each of the OUATS nonspecial generator purposes, it was decided to use the entire 11 purpose models available in OUATS. This required incorporating the special generator expressions available from OUATS into the Winter Springs Model Set. This use of the full OUATS model purposes additionally permitted use of the OUATS friction factors. 5. Public Transit Performance The new LYNX route offers the potential to significantly increase the capacity of the City's transportation network: while reducing traffic conaestion, pollution and areenhouse gas emissions One average size bus at capacity can carry as many passengers (approximately 40 persons) as 10 or more private automobiles. However. any impact in LOS for S.R. 434 will not be apparent (or documented) for several years. Successful transit systems emphasize the land use and travel demand relationship necessary to address congestion problems. The most important factors in encouraging transit use are mixed land uses and an urban form, which provides street connectivity and access to the pedestrian, transit and bikeway systems. • I I-5 8 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Transit facilities and ultimodal terminals also are important for the success of the transit system. These facilities allow for transfers among the various modes within the transportation system. Public transit I°-~~' „r ::~ ~~-~LOS criteria i4are based on the operational and service characteristics of the transit system. Operational characteristics include the number of vehicles operated in maximum service, the amount of service supplied, the average speed, and the number of days the service is provided. Service characteristics include geographic location and service area population. These characteristics are monitored by the local transit provider, but the City could be monitoring '~°--~'~ --r : ~~-~----LOS for transit performance based on headway standards. Headway is the time that separates vehicles moving in the same direction on the same route or track. The emphasis should be on reducing headways to encourage public transit ridership. The new LYNX Crosstown bus route ~_~.ow serves all of the City's major traffic generators/attractors identified on Error! Reference source not found.AAa~p-~4-~. In analyzing access to transit service, t-ke-C~t~ s~ational planning studies consider one-quarter to one-half mile on either side of the route ~rr~~tethe maximum distance that people would be willing to walk to use transit. 6. Other Transportation Systems The City's current transportation network is based primarily on a road network serving vehicular traffic, with very little attention given to other means of transportation. The City needs to start establishing facilities that will encourage the use of alternative transportation systems. Parking is an essential component of the overall transportation system. The decision of a commuter to drive alone or to use alternative transportation modes such as ride-sharing or public transit depends to a large extent on the cost, accessibility and availability of parking. As the City grows the need for these types of facilities will increase. Bicycling is a viable mobility alternative. Bicycle networks provide a commuting alternative as well as a recreational asset. The City has made efforts to establish a bicycle system. However, the adopted five-year plan was not achieved within that timeframe. The existing bicycle plan will need to be updated to plan for the expansion of the current system. .. ~ , Subsection 335.065. F.S., reauires with only a few exceptions, that bicycle and pedestrian ways be established in conjunction with the construction reconstruction or other chanae of any state transportation facilitx. Pedestrian mobility is greatly influenced by the mix and proximity of land uses as well as the availability of adequate, unencumbered sidewalks, liahting_,. and other pedestrian facilities. Adequate land uses and appropriate urban design would encourage walking for short trips and for accessing transit facilities and services. The City Code currently requires developers to provide sidewalks in new subdivisions. • II-59 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 7. Future Transportation ~'-la~Planning This section provides recommendations for creating a safe, convenient, and energy efficient ultimodal transportation system, coordinated with future land uses, plans and programs of the Seminole County, METROPLAN ORLAND03, and FDOT. Since World War II, roadways have been designed primarily for automobiles. Very little attention has been given to accommodating other modes of transportation such as bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. The goal of this Transportation Element is to look at roads as •-~~~'~~;~~ultimodal interconnected transportation corridors, and design them accordingly. Intergovernmental coordination is essential for the most cost-effective provision of transportation system improvements. Clearly, the City e€~'~ ~ oes not possess the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for the entire transportation system within the City. Seminole County and FDOT have financial responsibility for county roads and state highway system roads, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to review the transportation improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In this way, the effort and dollars expended by the City to improve its traffic circulation system may be complemented and perhaps enhanced by the activities of the County and FDOT. One area of coordination should include the preservation and protection of rights-of-way for identified future roadway improvements and construction. With the escalating value of land and costs entailed in right-of-way acquisition it is essential that the City protect roadway corridors in advance - f development. Increased right-of-way costs reduce the funds available for actual construction. The City needs to utilize such techniques as setback requirements, zoning restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official transportation maps to preserve and protect existing and future rights-of-way. Other measures are discussed in the policy section. a. Future Transportation Map The purpose of a Transportation Map is to graphically depict the location of all proposed collector and arterial roadways and any limited access facilities, airports, rail lines, and other related facilities. 1~4a~f1-BMap II-5 presents the proposed Future Transportation Map for the City a~~A~i°•~~-~.gz. This map shows the proposed roadway functional classification and number of lanes for each roadway segment. Roadway capacity is based on the functional classification and number of lanes. The'-~•-' -t ---••'~-LOS standard selected for each roadway was based either on its present or forecasted performance. The map shows the network as it is planned for the year 2010, with several roads at a LOS D, which is an acceptable standard. Map II-b~ shows the weeded improvements.

In addition to incorporating roadway design standards in the City Code, the City will start requiring that new developments be interconnected to enhance the transportation network. Development design must provide connectivity and access between adjacent residential developments and nearby land uses. Traffic calming techniques can be used to protect neighborhoods, although street design that utilizes curving streets and on-street parking will naturally reduce speed and the need for other traffic calming methods. b. Transportation Concurrency Alternatives Several alternatives are available to the City to assist in meeting Florida's concurrencesmanagement requirements in the Urban Central Business District (Town Center and Isewhere in the community. These alternatives are provided for in Chapter 163, F.S. and Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. The statute recognizes that planning and public policy goals may conflict with the requirement that transportation facilities and services be available concurrent with the impacts of development, and it provides for exceptions from the Concurrency requirement for transportation facilities if certain criteria are met. Available alternatives include a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), a Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA), a Long-term Transportation Concurrency Management System (LTTCMS~ a Multimodal • Transportation District (MMTD), a Transportation Concurrency Backlog Area (TCBA), and an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. An extensive discussion of each alternative and some of the requirements that must be met is included in the City's 2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. . ., ., ., ., c. Future Public Transit Plan A transportation system that offers m•a;r~~ultimodal opportunities has the potential to absorb a significantly higher number of person trips than a system that focuses solely on accommodating vehicle trips. Improved transit service frequencies and new routes offer a viable transportation alternative and promote transit use. ~~e---With the new LYNX Crosstown route, the City will need to ate--work closely with METROPLAN ORLANDO~~re-;~-11~F-3, LYNX, and 1-1 II-63 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PIAN Seminole County to coordinate its support and ~~participation in the transit system _ The City will help achieve increased ridership by improving pedestrian access, encouraging compact development, Viand requiring the provision of transit facilities and amenities where ~eees~tr•~wa rra nted . d. "`''"`''--Pedestrian ~iatrPlanning .}~efe~zm~FFj ~~o eE er,-~r~ln order to develop a pedestrian improvement/construction program to address=nsCity streets lacking sidewalks, a c-~t~ecity-wide inventory of sidewalks, crosswalks and other pedestrian facilities must be completed. By identifying missing links in the pedestrian system, the inventory will allow prioritization of improvements. Implementation of these improvements will provide pedestrian connectivity to the overall transportation system. ParticularlX important will be an inventory of sidewalks within one-quarter to one-half mile of the new LYNX Crosstown bus route. e. 'T''-Bicycle "Planning An important action needed by the City in the immediate future is the planning of a City trail system to interconnect with the LYNX Crosstown bus route and the Cross Seminole Trail. Such a system could result in reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing bus ridership by providing alternative transportation options. The CitX currently owns a substantial portion of FP8~L easement which could be the beginnings of this network. In order to accomplish this, several policies relating to trails have been added to the Recreation and Open Space Element. Bicycle lanes should be implemented on existing roadways. where right-of-way allows. f. TSM/TDM Strategies Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) are options for communities trying to add roadway capacity without having to construct costly new facilities. The ultimate goal of the TDM program is to influence people to shift to more efficient modes of transportation and to travel during off-peak hours. TSM strategies, on the other hand, aim to affect the actual supply of transportation services. The most effective policies integrate supply and demand strategies to create a transportation network that promotes efficient choices. The City ~' ~ oes not currently offer any of these programs. However, they are options to consider in the future. • II-64 • • Z w w Z O a O a z Q t~ Z Z ~ Q ~ J W W H N ZZ W ~~„ ...,. --~ ~ ~-.~ ~~. C7 Q ~!

INTRODUCTION Winter Springs is committed to Smart Growth, which can be defined as,, "growth that is economically sound, environmentally friendly, and supportive of community livability-growth that enhances the community's quality of life". Housing is an important element in the analysis of present and future characteristics of a~community. The type, structure, and condition of an area's housing stock influence the community's quality of life. Neighborhoods play an important part in determining the vitality, stability, and way of life of the residents within a community. Astable community offers a variety of housing units that appeal to a wide range of age groups, income levels, and family sizes. A proper mix of different housing types and housing which lends itself to accommodating different life styles helps to encourage the development of swell-balanced community. Without a heterogeneous population, a community is limited in the most efficient allocation of economic resources necessary to sustain a valuable, economically vibrant community. Housing also impacts the economic strength of a community and provides a basis for directing the manner and type of economic development within an area. Since housing helps determine the economic strength of a community, it should be the objective of the City to protect . ~ ~ xisting housing values and develop policies that result in the appreciation of existing neighborhoods. In addition, the objective of new development should be to contribute to favorable quality of life conditions within the community, as well as reduce housing deficiencies that presently exist. 1. Purpose of the Element The purpose of the Housing Element is to: • Identify present Ee~A~et3conditions and ~etvpes of housing stock within the community. • Analyze housing trends and determine the deficiencies and causes of those trends, which may negatively affect the community in the future. • Develop appropriate plans, programs, and policies to meet the objective of providing adequate and safe housing for the residents of the community. The Housing Element analyzes the present condition of housing within Winter Springs by examining the characteristics and conditions of the current housing stock, as well as the characteristics of the households ==-~~n~~in the City. An overview of current low to moderate-income housing is presented, as well as an inventory of group homes and institutional housing. Based on population projections and trend indicators of housing growth, the demand and supply of housing is discussed, including a determination of the need for replacement of existing substandard housing. The demographic characteristics of the present and projected City residents are useful in determining the future demand for housing types and the location of these units. The private sector normally takes care of the housing supply, but an analysis of projected c~efTe~~dE~~ax~' ~: lire: ~~i~~~:„..~:,,,: ~'-~~~ errand is presented. Recommendations are made to respond to the failures of • III-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT the private sector to meet the housing needs for all of the community. Because of the size of the City-c~~~jrr~~, and its suburban location relative to the rapidly growing Orlando urban area, the housing market has predominantly been demand based. This suggests that developers have not viewed Winter Springs as an area for speculative development. Demand based development means that units are not constructed for an assumed market that leads to demographic conditions created by development. The :demographic and economic forces, which naturally form a community, have been the predominant influence on new development in the Winter Springs area. _ . €c~c~ A shift toward denser housing is now occurring in the CitX, particularly in the Town Center• this trend toward denser housing may also assist the City in meeting its workforce housing needs. The purpose of this Element is to provide an~ inventory of existing housing; to forecast trends of the housing market; to locate possible deficiencies within the private sector and suggest ways to aid the private sector in eliminating those deficiencies; and to reinforce the policies and recommendations of the previous Comprehensive Plan that are still appropriate. Of prime importance in this area is the continuation of zoning and building policies that exist to promote public safety and community harmony. At the same time, these policies provide support for new development of higher quality that meets the needs and goals of the community. It is not the purpose of this Plan to dictate control over natural market forces that exist in the private sector. In fact, tampering with the market would be counterproductive of the private sector in meeting housing demand in the past. the efficienc considerin g y 2. Growth Trends Winter Springs is predominately a residential community of634,433 persons. _ in 2007. The original Village of North Orlando consisted of standard suburban homes on quarter acre or larger lots centered around the western section of S.R. 434. The Village served as a bedroom community to the City of Orlando. Through the early to mid 1960's, the City also functioned as a small residential community to the Sanford Naval Air Station, but the homes that were occupied by military families were abandoned by 1968. In 1970, the City's population was only 1,161 persons and concentrated on the western side of town. In 1972, the name was changed to Winter Springs to avoid the confusion associated with the geographic location reference implied by the original name. The name Winter Springs was decided upon, as it was the name of the significant new Planned Unit Development (PUD), now known as Tuscawilla. The name of the PUD was adapted from the name of the main access road known as Tuskawilla Road. By 1980, the new Tuscawilla PUD began attracting a great number of residents to the eastern half of the City. The majority of the City's growth occurred between 1970 and 1980 as it increased by nine-fold from 1,161 residents to 10,350 residents. Between 1980 and 1990, the population increased by 11,801 residents-, slightly more than III-14 t r~ I~ C~ CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT double. Between 1990 and 2000, population growth continued to be robust, but began to slow ~~~' ~~~°~~°: ~', increasina by -1-3x39% or f,~8 709 residents. ~ TAT over this time period, an average annual growth rate of 3.6%. Table III-1 a shows population figures for the City and the County for the last X947 years, and Table III-1 b also includes population projections.- through 2030. Growth for Winter Springs from 2000 to 2010 was anticipated to occur at a slower rate than from 1990 to 2000, even prior to the recent decline in housing values and sales. The City's population actually fell slightly from 2007 to 2008.

As this indicates, while Seminole County is experiencing growth, some parts of the County are growing faster than other For example Oviedo's population while still less than that of Winter Sprinas has been growing more gyickly in recent years and is anticipated to exceed the Winter Springs population by sometime after 2010 Population arowth has also been substantial in Sanford, as well as in Lake Mary although Lake Mary's total population is still less than half of the Winter Springs population Population growth has been nearly flat in Altamonte Springs Casselberry and Lonawood since 2000 Neighboring cities, Lake Jesup, and unincorporated areas consisting of developed areas and conservation lands encircle the City. The remaining developable acreage in the City is somewhat limited, with the Town Center and the Greeneway Interchange District providina the largest future development areas. Nearly 30 enclave areas have also been identified, but these total less than 400 acres. The City analyzed buildout population based on these constraints and prepared population projections Based on the evaluation of population trends and buildout conditions geometric extrapolation projections were selected for the overall updated Comprehensive Plan population projections The population projections used in this Comprehensive Plan anticipate a population of 35,857 for the near 2010. 40,319 for 2020 and 44 538 for 2030 These figures are lower than correspondina figures from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing III-16 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT (36,929 43,114 and 47,921 respectively) While the City finds the Shimberg population projections to be higher than anticipated and exceeding the projected buildout population, for the purposes of the Housing Element and projection of housing needs, the Shimbera data are used as then provide very detailed information that would otherwise not be available. The Shimberg data is thus useful in assessing the detailed distributions across cateaories (e g aae income) while the total figures are considered in light of the City's proiected buildout and population projections.

Existing Housing Characteristics a. Age of Housing Stock • The City of Winter Springs has been experiencing a significant amount of new housing construction since the seventies. The trend in new housing construction between 1980 and 1990 was, on average, 520 units per year. Housing unit construction averaged approximately 392 units per year between 1990 and 2000. Figures from this decade show that .the City is now seeina somewhat less than 200 units per year. New housing (units built between 1980 and March 2000) ake up approximately seventy-one (71) percent of the City's total housing stock in the 2000 Census. At the other end of the spectrum, units built prior to 1960 onstituted only one (1) percent of the existing housing stock. Tl-~, a reflection of the fact that the City incorporated in 1959. Table III-2 shows the age of housing units in the City and the County. The condition of the older housing stock is generally standard.

Median gross rent for renter-occupied units in the City of Winter Springs was $727 in 2000, an increase of approximately 20 percent from the 1 990 gross rent of $609 '~ t °°^. T"'~. The 2000 figure was slightly less than the median gross rent in Seminole County ($ 731) which also increased more sharply from 1990 to 2000. Nearly four (4) percent of the rental units in the City, and tf-i~~~r-si~~eleven (1 1) percent in the County, had rents below $500. Approximately X5.73 percent of rental units in the City had no cash rent in 2000. It is probable that these rentals are occupied by custodians of seasonal units, the elderly renting from relatives or site management for no cash rent. Tfte The median contract rent for the City was $631 in 2000 increased from $496 in 1990. This indicates that expenses relating to rentals, above contract rent, were over $100 per month in 2000.

In comparison, the median value for owner-occupied housing in Seminole County was $9~A(~169.200, a smaller increase compared with the City, but still substantially higher than the 1990 value of $91,100 for the County. Less than ter3-{~-Afifteen (15) percent of owner-occupied housing in Winter Springs was not mortgaged, according to the ~~1~1N2000 Census. Of the ~~8,545 owner- occupied units calculated by the Census Bureau, '7,297 units ~r-e rj~Hrtefil~ad a mortgage at that time. The median owner costs for nonmortgaged units in the City was $3333 per month, and $1,144 for mortgaged homes. The median costs in the County were $317 and $8$1.102, respectively. A detailed breakdown of housing costs in the City and the County is presented in "1'~bf~lif -ZTable III-17 at the end of the Housing Element. e.

L.:1:~..+:.....~~ i i i Based on the fact that most housing units in the City are less than thirty years old, it is evident that, ,there are no major deterioration problems in the City. The older homes that were part of the original town are in most part still occupied. As a result, very few properties have been left unattended or allowed to degrade below standard. The City of Winter Springs has actively been pursuing the rehabilitation of any deteriorating • structures in the City. The goals and objectives of this element will require that the City conduct a periodic detailed surveyor to determine the structural conditions of the City's housing stock. The following terms and definitions shall be used in the survey: Standard is defined as those units that are structurally sound with minimal defects that are easily remedied through normal maintenance. Units that display environmentally questionable conditions, but have no major structural defects are also considered "standard." Substandard is defined as a unit that has deteriorated, but can be brought up to standard conditions with reasonable rehabilitation Deteriorated is defined as a structure that has deteriorated to where rehabilitation would exceed 50% of replacement value. =;3e '-~:-'.The City maintains a database of complaints regarding built structures that is able to tract reaairs and document information related to the building condition. Also, the 2000 Census provides an indicator of housing that is substandard by measuring certain "quality of housing" indicators such as the lack of complete plumbing, kitchen or heating equipment, -~-' `'-~'°--'- ~`- ---~~-•° :,-:~~•-- ~, ..

The City has no knowledge of how units described in the Census (Table III-7) would be lacking complete kitchens or plumbing fixtures unless units have been allowed to deteriorate or if garages have been leased for housing. The City enforces the Florida Building Code for rehabilitation of existing buildings and construction of new buildings which requires all units to have complete kitchens and plumbing fixtures prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy. In 2008, the City adopted the International Property Management Code 2006 edition, which delineates the procedures for condemnation and demolition of unsuitable units. Adoption of this document has enabled the City's Code Enforcement division to take action against proper owners who are letting thei~roperties deteriorate or who are leasing substandard housing to tenants. Generally, Code Enforcement is made aware of the problem b~tenants who file a complaint against their landlor . The 2004 hurricane season impacted many houses in Winter Springs. With the exception of one home with substantial roof problems that remains unrepaired, the hurricane damages resulted in improvement (especially roof replacements) covered b~insurance. This is likelX to have had an effect on the quality of housing figures from the 2000 Census. • • Table III - 7: Comparison of Housing Conditions *The data presented come from the Census Summary File 3 (SF3) file sample, long-form data and total housing units differ slightly from the Summary File 1 (SF1~ 100-Percent Data.

Overcrowding Overcrowding is also an indicator of substandard housing. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, overcrowding exists if there are more than 1.01 persons per room living in a dwelling unit. In making these computations, a "room" is defined as a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, finished recreation room, or enclosed porch suitable for year-round use. Excluded are bathrooms, open porches, balconies, halls and utility rooms. '~'~~1-~ 9Table III-7 shows that ~-1-x-217 dwelling units, or less than two (2) percent of the homes in Winter Springs were considered to be overcrowded; (similar to 1990 overcrowding conditions), compared to ?.F~3.29 percent in the County. 3. Government Subsidized Housing ~~ The City of Winter Springs; has worked in . ~ recent ears to provide full-state accessible housing for those residents whose income, health, or family situation does not allow them to take full advantage of traditional private housing. , . _ > > > ~ In 2000, the City entered into a partnership arrangement with the Wyman Fields Foundation to acquire and rehabilitate over a seven-year period, 232 apartmentsftownhouses around the Moss Road area. Phase I consisted of the acquisition of 52 quadro-plex rental units in April 2000 and the rehabilitation of those 52 units for conversion into home ownership within atwo=year period. The 52 units located on Rhoden Lane and Kristi Ann Court were completed and sold. However, before additional phases of the pro(ect on Lori Ann Lane and Cory Lane could be completed, the foundation became financially insolvent. The City utilized $909,655 of the "Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1999" as start-up funds with the intent that the loan would be paid back to the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation Fund, as the units were sold. The intent was to recover at least 101 % of the initial investment. With the sale of these units, the City actually recovered 104% of its investment. Currently there are no plans for future rehabilitation work: however, the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation Fund has a balance of over $1 million available for any improvement project that the City would deem appropriate. Additionally, the City does currently own one unit, obtained as an egyitX conversion when the foundation became insolvent.

Shimberg Center population projections are hiaher than those of this -~ - Comprehensive Plan, but proportionate trends are expected to be similar. Housing statistics provided in this element are only projections based on statistical models and past trends. These projections may not reflect actual conditions or future housing demands and trends of the Winter Springs community, private property owners and housing policies and strategies duly adopted by the City. For example, the City has been focusing on areas like the Town Center to intensify residential development and has also focused services and amenities to serve as an attractive location for retirees. These local trends are discussed as relates to the projection data available from the Shimberg Center. 1. Household Characteristics In order to adequately plan for future housing demand and City service needs, population and housing projections have been developed. The following section will address expected changes in household age, size, and income, as these factors will influence the type and size of housing that will be needed. a. Household Size The size of households is one of the most important elements in determining the housing need of the population. The smaller the household, the smaller the size of the dwelling unit necessary to house the family in a comfortable, safe manner. Also, given a certain household size, alternatives to the traditional detached single-_family c~~~dwellinas on quarter (1 /4) acre lots may better serve the needs of certain households. Such alternatives include mobile homes and smaller, higher density multi-family units. • III-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT .e-~ . :~-~-13:e-In 2000, the average household size in ~)i-the City m~was 2.69, slightly higher than that of the County mat 2.59 persons per household __.,~:,..:~ .__..; 2 ~~ :~,.nd higher still than the household size of 2.46 for the State. There has been a trend toward the reduction of household size in the U.S. and Florida since the 1960's. Household size projections prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing sljc>~~=reflect this trend. ~'~b~~l:~i z2Table III-10 shows that the most predominant household size in the City is 1-2 persons per household, with almost ~F,56% percent of the total. f-€ ~errfefre~c~s ~n--tke~;tt-~-Households with 3 to 4 persons accounted for X34.8%, and with 5 or more persons accounted for 9.~7%. The average household size has decreased from 2.74 in 1990 to 2.69 in 2000. The City's household size is projected to continue to decrease to 2.40 in 2030 reflectina various factors such as the aaina_population, smaller family sizes, and increase in smaller housing units in areas such as the Town Center. • The projections, shown in .Table III-10 indicate that the City had 12,637 households in 2005. and can expect to have 17 348 households by the year 2020 The projections of household composition are associated with the Shimberg population projections, which exceed the population projections prepared by the City for the Comprehensive Plan and the anticipated buildout population. Therefore the projection of the total number of households in 2030 presented in Table III-10 exceeds the total number of households anticipated by the City's population projections (18,557 units However, the trends in household size and tenure are anticipated to be reasonably reflected by the Shimberg data.

Population by Age In order to project the type of housing needed through the year ?(~?k}2030, projections of the age of the City residents were calculated. The age of the City residents is an important factor because it influences the type of housing necessary to house different individual lifestyles and family life cycles. Elderly households require different housing than younger households. Families desire larger dwelling units with adequate storage, and placed in areas accessible to schools and recreation areas. Younger seniors, age 55-74 tend to have a more active lifestyle than more elderly seniors, 75 and over This quickly growing younger group made up of so-called "Empty Nesters" and the newly retired may require a different set of amenities than the elderly or younger family households. These younger seniors may not require the larger dwelling units and proximity to schools favored by families nor the care-giving of elderly seniors. Thus smaller dwelling units with ample access to active leisure and recreational facilities are often a higher priority Also, age reflects levels through the lifetime income cycles of individuals, i.e., dissaving, saving, and retirement. These income periods, correlated with age, provide insight into the cost of new housing that will be in demand. 'l~i~le I~-13Table III-11 presents t~expected changes in the age of the population between 1990 and ?-'2030 as projected by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing.

Significantly higher increases are projected for the 55-64 category (88.95%), the 65-74 category (194.41 %), and the 75+ category (299.16%). The 35-44 age group will retain the highest proportion of the population in 2030 of any of the age categories shown at 13 8% but will decrease from the proportion of 17.9% in 2000.

Types of ALFs include: o Adult Family Care Homes -single family homes in which room and board, supervision and personal care services are provided to no more than five adult residents at a time. o Continuing Care Retirement Communities private home communities that offer active seniors a variety of resources in which to socialize and enjoy their golden years. This option allows elders the opportunity to purchase services. amenities and future medical care, at the same time that their home in the community is purchased. o Senior Apartment Complexes -_private apartment communities, which provide limited communal services, such as activity programs, I III-35 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT transportation services and evening meals to its residents. Owners of these housina complexes usually only rent to individuals that are 55 years old or older, often targeting the younger, independent and more active seniors. o Nursing Homes - long-term care facilities that provide 24-hour medical and personal care, housekeeping services and rehabilitative services to seniors who are suffering from chronic illnesses. recovering after major surgery or who are phvsicallX weak and unable to live on their own. • Communities for a Lifetime (CFALI - is a statewide program initiated by the Florida Department of Efder Affairs aimed at creating a safe and nurturing place for people of all ages especially elderly citizens Participating municipalities use existing resources and state technical assistance to make crucial civic improvements such as: o Increase housina options to support independent living and active adult communities servingpeople age 55 or older o Provide health care services and elderly facilities such as senior centers. • o Provide for safe and affordable alternative to driving o Ensure equitable accessibility and safer transportation routes o Foster business partnerships, o Distribute community-wide education programs on available resources and services, o Implement/encourage a more efficient use of natural resources and o Support volunteer opportunities. In 2005, Winter Springs adopted Resolution 2005-46 supporting the Communities for a Lifetime initiative. c. Households by Income One of the most influential variables that affect housing type and community trends is the income of an area's households. Income impacts "housing affordability", which in turn impacts housing cost, housing type and size, lot size, and neighborhood composition. Based on standard criteria for various public assistance programs, households were divided into four income groups: Very Low Income -less than 50 percent of ~~x~ee~the Area Median Income AMI . Low Income - 50 to 80 percent of ~AMI. • III-36 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Moderate Income - 80 to 1 20 percent of ~AMI. Middle to High Income -greater than 120 percent of ~AMI. . According to the U.S. Department of Housina and Urban Development (HUD), the aenerally accepted definition of affordability] as it pertains to housina, is for a household to pay no more than 30 percent of its annual income on housina. "Cost-burdened" households pay more than 30% of income for rent or mortgage costs Table III-12a presents the percentage of income paid for rent or mortgage costs by income ranae. In 2005, 3,005 Winter Sprinas households (24%) paid more than 30% of income for housing. By comparison 25% of Seminole County households and 29% of households statewide are similarly cost-burdened. Households payina 50 percent or more of their annual income are considered "severely cost burdened." 1,1 10 households in Winter Springs (9%Lpay more than 50% of income for housina. By comparison, 10% of households in Seminole County and 29% of households statewide are severely cost-burdened (Shimberg 20071 • Table III-12b below shows historic and projected households by income range for the City and the County, and '~~le TTY-~~TTable III-18 show projections of household income by tenure. ~~As presented in Table III-5, the median household income in the City in ~~3891999 was $4~~53.247,. while in the County it was $~3;Fr.~~49,326. In 1999, the majoritx of the City households were err-rin the moderate to high=income categories - - However, 12.5% of City households were in the low category and 27.2% of City households were in the very-low category. The household income projections, which were prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, show that the distribution of households by income is expected to remain constant over the next ten years. The proportion of very_low- income household group is expected to have a slight increase, while the middle-to- high group is expected to have a proportional decrease. As noted previously, while the projections of total population and total households appear high trends in the distribution of the City's households by income are anticipated to be reasonably reflected by the Shimbera data. • Table III - 12a: Households by Income and Cost Burden Winter Springs 2005 III-37 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Note: The income ranges are calculated using the County's Median Household Income The Census excludes one-family houses on 10 acres or more from the count of~pecified units Source• Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse Housina Profile for the City of Winter Springs Accessed December 2007 Table III - 126: Projected Households by Income 2000-2030 ~i Ho Behold Income as Percentq a of Area Median 1990 - 2000 2005 x010 201 S -------- 2020 2025 2030 Income <=30% AMI 9,61 3 10,949 1 2,428 13,944 i 5 483 17,039 18,534 0 30-50% AMI 13,312 10,596 12,050 13,766 15,651 17,621 19,691 21,671 m 50-80% AMI 17,018 18,978 21,631 24,569 27,532 30,517 33,498 36,354 80-120% AMI 18,595 30,680 35,066 39,646 43,813 47,815 51,542 55,097 ~ > 120% AMI 59 1 9 565 79,806 90.156 99,023 107.406 1 14 77 121,624 N Total 10 114 13 432 159,502 1 565 19 963 21 42 236 4 253,280 <=30% AMI 701 759 71 92 1,121 1,239 1,355 N c 30-50% AMI 583 809 876 1 21 1,182 1 3 4 1,526 1,685 N 50-80% AMI 1,166 1,476 1,594 1,833 2,081 2,348 2,588 2,824 L 80-120% AMI 1,275 2,500 2,686 042 3,368 3,693 3,983 4,259 c > 1 20% AMI 5,054 6,277 6,723 7,535 8,198 8,821 9,376 9,885 Total 8,078 11.763 12,638 14,302 15,821 17,347 18,712 20.008 Note: The income ranges are calculated using the County's Median Household Income The Census excludes one-family houses on 10 acres or more from the count of specified units Source: 2000 Census: 2000-2030 Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, 2006 While housing in the City of Winter Springs is more affordable in relation to Seminole County overall, the availability of affordable and work-force housing is an issue for communities across the County including Winter Springs The cost of housing has risen significantly in recent years in the area while wages have not grown at the same rate In addition, the City, due to growth in the last twenty years is getting closer to reaching "buildout", meaning that there is little vacant developable land remaining_ To ensure community viability, the City's housing stock should include diverse affordable and accessible "for sale" and "rental" units Options for affordable and work-force housing should be created that do not diminish neighborhood character Seminole County (Workforce Housing Task Forcel defines Workforce housing as housing available for working households that earn up to 140% of the Area Median Income (AMI) A number of additional programs are available which may support the City in addressing affordable and work-force housing, including: • Supportive Housing Investment Partnership (SHIP) • Low-interest loans to developers and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) for acauisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of affordable rental • III-38 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT housing, or payment of impact fees associated with such HOME Investment Partnerships Program: 1) Low-interest loans to developers and CHDOs for acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of affordable rental housina• 21 Grants to CHDOs for operating expenses; and 31 Grants or loans to CHDOs for ac isition reha ilitation new constr coon demolition/reconstruction. and site improvements/infrastructure for affordable rental or owner housin • Florida Affordable Housing GuaranteePropram: Works in concert with federal, state and local government financing sources as well as other qualified lending institutions, to effectively lower the overall cost of borrowing capital for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable multifamily rental housing.

A greater emphasis on units designed with certain features that the elderly population will require, such as smaller units that are barrier free and easily accessible may be required. Little data exists with respect to the disabled population. The housing problems of this population relate largely to accessibility. Physical barriers such as narrow doorways, lack of ramps, counter heights, and appliance design limit the supply of housing suitable for this group. - ,, ~ Winter Springs has adopted the Florida Building Code which addresses handicap accessibility: more stringently than the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Because the e~City of Winter Springs does not exist within an area of high agricultural use, separate estimates for rural and farm worker households were not made. According to the 2000 Census, only 12 City residents were working in the farming, fishing, and forestry occupations. Therefore, their housing needs are not expected to impact the housing market. There are no specific areas in the City of Winter Springs targeted for the provision of housing for the very low, low, and moderate-income households. Federal programs that offer rental subsidy, such as Section 8, allows the applicant to choose the location of the home. The City has a variety of zoning categories that allow for different types of housing and densities, including the provision of mobile homes. The Medium Density land use category of the Future Land Use Map allows mobile home zoning districts. Affordable housing does exist in the resale market. Most of these units are older single-family houses in good structural condition A number of these older structures in the City could provide adequate housing for a number of low-income housing if improvements to these units are made. The improvements include minor rehabilitation of electrical and plumbing infrastructure, improved insulation, and re-roofing. Most of these improvements would not only add value to the structure, but also provide benefits to the resident in terms of energy cost savings, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fire safety Low and very- low-income households are expected to require a total of ?--X5.864 housing units (for ownership and rental) by ?-2030.

Nonetheless, units do fall into disrepair and neglect for many reasons, including lack of economic incentives for maintenance. For planning purposes, it is anticipated that two (2) percent of units 50 years old and older will become substandard each year. Five (5) percent of these substandard units may at that time be categorized as deteriorated. The City Building Division works in coordination with the Code Enforcement Division when deteriorated housina is identified. During 2008 an increased level of deterioration was reported by the City associated with recent foreclosure activity For conversions, the City requires compatibility and harmony to be maintained within established neighborhoods, which is regulated as part of the permit approval process. ~~d~l•~eas~t~dees e~~~~~esa4e~a~Fe~~~4esi-e~-~1?esc-a: ~ - --~it~g~e-€l~g -}}uses-~~~ec~d-st-t~re~ -t~~'-eett~t~er3~° -~Zte~~e€-these-e~e~ ..,-..~:,:..,.~. ~c ..,~.... _:~t3d~lritrrl~tt3g-tti€~xs~re~rr , --~a , , a she t~e~rws~d~~~r~~ert~~c~€ ene=g~ees~E~g,~~dIIe~d • 3.

The acreage of residential lands was converted to units, using density factors based on the densities permitted in each category, allowing for the provision of retention areas and rights-of-way. For Rural, Low and Medium density residential categories, thirty (30) percent of the land area was determined to be needed for retention and ROW, netting 0.7, 2.5 and 6.3 dwelling units per acre, respectively. High density residential was analyzed at 15 dwelling units per acre based on historical trends. For the Mixed Use- and Town Center categories, it was estimated that approximately fifty percent of the vacant acreage will develop with high density residential uses at densities of approximately 10 dwelling units per acre for the Mixed Use and 20 dwelling units per acre for the Town Center land use category. (These density factors were previously utilized in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan.) City staff estimates that 200 residential units will be made available through a vertical mix of development in the Greeneway Interchange District III-44 ~i CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT As the table shows, the City will be able to accommodate approximately 3,41941 additional units, ~ ~,, , , pproximately 3,000 units fewer than anticipated to be needed by ?9~$ the year 2030 according to the Shimberg Center projections.. .. However, it should be noted that the Shimberg Center projections have already proved to be higher than actual~e, and this trend has become even stronger in recent years For example the projected figure of housing units for the year 2000 by the Shimberg Center was 13,103, when the actual figure for that year as reported by the Census was 12,3061Note: Summary File 3 sample data totals to 12.2961. , ~ Usina the City's projections, the shortfall in units is anticipated to be approximately 1,600 units Thus, there may be the need to encourage densities closer to the maximum allowable within each residential category It is anticipated that with such measures implemented the Future Land Use Mapes, combined with potential future annexations will provide for an adequate supply of land to satisfy the housing needs of the €r~2030 population of Winter Springs. 4. The Housing Delivery System • While the City e€~T' an estimate future housing needs, it cannot take a major role in supplying housing. That aspect is controlled for the most part by the private sector. The City can only assist in the delivery of housing by developing flexible regulations, providing appropriate land use designations and zoning categories, and by planning infrastructure facilities and services that are adequate to serve future development. The private sector is currently meeting the needs of the community in terms of providing much of the needed housing. .. , The vacancy rate in Winter Springs was 4}.32% percent in 2000, .~ _`-~''-°`~~ `'~°`-onsidered within the range where the housing supply is adequate. As discussed previously data for 2006 from Metro Orlando and the American Community Survey indicate that the vacancy rate may have either increased or decreased It is anticipated that more recent economic circumstances will have increased the vacancy rate which may help absorb some of the proiected need in housing units or at least delay the rate of increase in that need. a. Financina Private sector housing delivery is divided into two parts, owned and rental. The delivery of financing for owned housing is based solely on affordability. As discussed earlier in this Element, affordable housing costs are calculated to be thirty (30) percent of gross income. Monthly payments for owned-housing is based on two factors: mortgage rates and the price of the housing unit. Forecasting future trends of these two factors is difficult and highly unpredictable:, particularlX at this point in time. Mortgage rates are dependent on ~~ ~ ~; ~~ational economic conditions and not local factors. Housing prices are dependent on the inflation rate for housing, and local supply and demand forces. III-45 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Financing for housing . r~~e-kec~-E~e~ee~t~#~e~~~e~-el-~t~e~~~Q~e~de-~~e~-des, .presents challenges and opportunities based on recent economic trends. While interest rates have fallen the availability of credit has become more restrictive and mortgage lending standards have been tightened. The City may need to consider requiring developers to provide a certain percentage of affordable units within their developments as a requirement for development approvals. An alternative to the requirement could also be a contribution to an affordable housing fund that can be used for housing/rental assistance to lower income households. The City should also look into the programs offered through the County for capital improvements, rehabilitation or down payment/rental assistance, including those discussed in the analysis section and make those programs available to City residents. b. Regulatory and Administrative Process The process of housing development includes several players, including government officials in multiple jurisdictions, design consultants, lenders, contractors, attorneys and the buyer or renter. The process, which at times can be lengthy, e-~-fl~} ~~rrrec~ar-~adds costs to the development of housing. Many ingredients of housing development such as interest rates, labor and material costs, and State Laws, are beyond the control of the City. Nonetheless, a community can adopt an attitude that will affect the cost of housing. By taking a proactive position, the City can start instituting several actions to address affordable housing. The first step would be to do a thorough review of the Code of Ordinances as it relates to housing affordability. Areas to address include: •Establishing a definition of affordable housing •Expediting the permitting process for affordable housing projects •Establishing density bonuses for the provision of affordable units •Establishin~{c. certain zoning waivers such as parking, landscaping and setbacks and •Modifying street right-of-way requirements_ Another important aspect of reducing the cost of providing affordable housing is reviewing current development costs charged by the City. The City should review processing and impact fees and establish reductions or waivers for affordable housing projects. c. Infill Housing Development '''°~~i~i~~--ttr4~lnfill housing «~Q;,ccurs in areas that vaereare close to residential "build-out" with at least 90 percent of its residential land already developed. This traditional type of '•-r" ~----~'-- -' ~ ' infill involves a small number of vacant parcels that were bypassed during the normal course of urbanization. In I III-46 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT this process, individual lots or small clusters of lots remained vacant due to e~ ', variety of reasons. There are very few residential lots in this category within the City. However, recent bankruptcies by developers have left some developments only partially complete. Unfortunately, these have occurred within the Town Center impacting its perceived viability. The City mpY need to develop strategies to encourage the infill of these vacant residential parcels with new housing compatible with the Town Center. Large numbers of "passed over" parcels can often lead to lower market and assessed values for adjacent developed residential properties. It may often lower property values in entire neighborhoods where large numbers of vacant parcels exist. Most of the vacant lands in Winter Springs are located within recently platted subdivisions or in large tracts on the east side of the City. However, there are still a few vacant lots within the older part of the City. It is important for Winter Springs to develop strategies and programs which encourage the infill of these vacant residential parcels with new housing compatible with the established neighborhoods. d. Mobile Homes Mobile homes and mobile home developments have long had a reputation of being visually unattractive. Often, localities have had the tendency to regulate these housing types to undesirable areas of the community, such as adjacent to industrial areas and railroad tracks and areas which lack utilities or community facilities. Mobile homes were rarely allowed or encouraged in areas well suited for residential development. However, as the cost of single-family dwellings has gone beyond the reach of many households, communities have started to change their local decision making process regarding the location of mobile homes. Rule 9J-5 requires that policies be developed which ensure adequate sites for mobile homes. These requirements will also alter local governments' traditional decision- making process regarding mobile homes. In consideration of these factors the following general criteria have been provided for the designation of future mobile home or manufactured home developments. • Mobile home parks and co-ops should be located adjacent to areas with a comparable density of development or near small-scale convenience or neighborhood commercial activity. • They should be in areas accessible to arterial and collector roads; • They should also be located on sites presently served by public water or sanitary sewer service, or in areas programmed for such service in the City's five-year capital improvements program; • They should be located within reasonable proximity to community facilities. III-47 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT • • Where mobile home development or individual mobile homes are designated to be located adjacent to residential uses, especially those of lower densities, buffer areas should be required to make the transition in density more compatible to the general neighborhood and community. In addition to these general provisions, the issue of improving existing substandard mobile home development should be addressed. These areas should be upgraded to modern mobile home planning and design requirements. e. Infrastructure Requirements The infrastructure needed to support housing for very-low, low and moderate- income households is similar to that required to support other development activity. The adequacy of this infrastructure is evaluated in various elements and summarized in the Future Land Use Element. Generally speaking, improvements to the road system, the water and sewer systems, and the drainage system will be necessary to support future land development activities, including low and moderate income housing. The City has several programs that are being planned or are underway to make these improvements. One consideration is the cost and methods for funding these improvements. New development is required to make dedications of land and site related improvements and to contribute to the larger system capacity increases: to meet concurrence. The City also requires payment of impact fees to cover the cost of needed improvements. Once the property is developed and sold, the new landowners are required to pay periodic assessments to fund operations and capital improvements. In the case of low and moderate-income projects, funds for development and operation pre usually limited. The result is that extra fees can be expected to be a problem, occasionally enough to destroy the financial feasibility of the project. Under the theory that these are fees for services or benefits received, these fees and charges cannot be reduced for low and moderate-income projects. On the other hand, provision of adequate housing for low and moderate-income persons and households is a benefit to the public at large. f. Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, 8~ Renewable Energy Resources There has been increasing information and focus on environmental impacts an issues such as climate chance, in addition to awareness of the potential cost- savings from energy efficient construction and sustainable development practices. New construction and major rehabilitation and renovations in the City should include plans for Greater energy efficiency in their design and construction. F~rt_h_ermore the use of recycled materials and renewable energy resources should be encouraged. As these practices can cut Iona-term enercv costs, then are encouraged for all types of housing. The US Green Building Council (USGBC) administers the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED1 Green Building Rating System. LEED for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green III-48 • • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT homes through a certification system New construction can be rated to meet one of the LEED for Homes tiers: Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum.

SANITARY SEWER SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The City _ ~ currently owns, operates and maintains a central sanitary sewer system. The City's collection and treatment system provides service to both residential and non- residential users. _The City has historically been able to provide adequate sanitary sewer service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries. Currently, the City's wastewater facilities have little or no effect on adjacent natural resources. This is due to the "zero discharge" approach that is currently being achieved by the City's wastewater program. Impacts on natural resources must be considered for the overall effects of improvements achieved by not only the City_~~''~ ., but also for the sum of improvements achieved by all treatment facilities in areas formerly tributary to the Lake Jesup drainage basin. This information is being gathered on a continuing basis by staffs of the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and results to date have shown significant positive results in regard to reduction of contribution of nutrients to surface waters. B. SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES INVENTORY 1. Public Sanitary Sewer Facilities Inventory The City's central sanitary sewer system is comprised of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), X41 lift stations, ?;'~~5,854 linear feet of 20" forcemain, ~7-81,489 linear feet of forcemain ranging in size from b to 12 inches, and X31 1 1.51 miles of gravity sewer mains of various sizes. Additionally, the City operates a reclaimed water system to reduce the amount of potable water utilized for irrigation purposes. The reclaimed water system consists of two treatment facilities and several miles of distribution lines. "'Reclaimed treatment facilities are located at both of the City's two wastewater treatment plants. a.

Predominant Users The East WWTP generally serves any development east of Tuskawilla Road to S.R. 434 and the Oak Forest Subdivision west of Tuskawilla Road. The West WWTP serves all development in the western section of the City including Winding Hollow, Tuskeawilla Trace, Central Winds Park, St. Johns Landing and the Winter Springs High School. There are three properties outside the City limits that are served by the City's wastewater utility. These properties, all within the City of Oviedo, include the medical center at S.R. 426 and Winter Springs Boulevard, the Tuskawilla Bend Shopping Center and the Seneca Bend Subdivision. _The City provides service to these properties as required by an old n.r~:PUD agreement. There are no County enclaves that are served by the City's wastewater system. As of X2008. the City is providing service to 11,~?1-537 residential connections and ~-?286 non-residential connections, fora total of 11,823 sanitary sewer connections. Of the residential connections, 22 are services outside of the City limits. Of the non-residential connections, 24 are services located outside of the City limits.

The remainder of the system consists of public access slow rate application sites. These sites consist of two golf courses, five City parks, three roadway median irrigation systems, two school sites and residential commercial irrigation. The City maintains a reduced groundwater-monitoring program. _This program requires four 4~ monitoring wells at the Dayron Perk Ponds and one monitoring well at the Winter Springs Golf Course for the west treatment system. _The east treatment system maintains four monitoring wells on the Tuscawilla Golf Course and four monitoring wells at the East Perk Ponds. (5) Reclaimed Water System The reuse irrigation method of reclaimed wastewater disposal is presently encouraged by the FDEP. The broad category of reuse of reclaimed wastewater may include such uses as agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, make up water for electrical power generation facilities, industrial cooling water make up and other industrial uses. Because of existing conditions in the Winter Springs area, the City has embraced the concept of reuse, in association with existing land application methods, as the best method to provide for future effluent disposal capacity. _The benefits of a reuse program include: 1) Cost efficiencies for wastewater customers. 2) More efficient use of land area for development activity rather than dedicated public land application methods. 3) Promotion of reuse water for irrigation purposes rather than use of potable water for irrigation. • IV-27 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 4) Support of gestate and ~~lregional goals and policies directed toward water conservation, surface water quality protection, and efficient use of land resources. The City has constructed and is currently operating a reclaimed water program. The City's current reuse service area boundary is indicated in Map IV-r~B-2.- As of December 2008, there are 1,644 residential and non-residential connections to the reclaimed water system. Users of reclaimed water are required to have in-ground sprinklers systems and hose bibs are prohibited. Recently, meters were installed on all reclaimed water lines, so that the Citx is now better equipped to track reclaim water usa e. The current average daily usage of the reclaimed water program is 1.4334 MGD. The proposed total design capacity of the system is currently 4.082 MGD. 2. Private Sanitary Sewer Facilities Design a. Septic Tank Suitabilitx The majority of City households, approximately 90%~ are served by the central wastewater system. _In addition, all commercial and industrial land uses within the City limits are served by the City's wastewater system with the exception of the Old Sanford-Oviedo area. • • New development is required to connect to the central wastewater system where available.- However, in the past several single-family developments have been permitted for septic systems. The total number of single-family homes located within the City limits utilizing septic systems for wastewater disposal is not known. However, this number represents only a small percentage of the total. In general, septic systems are not the most efficient means of wastewater disposal for urban development. Limitations of existing soils, intensive maintenance requirements, soil reclamation and/or special designs ~a~~kl-limit the effectiveness of septic systems as a means of septic service in the Winter Springs area.

Sanitary Sewer Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies a. Existing Demand Surpluses and Deficiencies Demand and '~--~' ~-` ~ ~~~-'~ •LOS can be determined by an analysis of plant flows, billed water, number of customers, and population served. The City's adopted treatment LOS} is 100 gallons per person per day-l~'~. To date, the City has not identified any '~~--~~' -~` :~~~~-~~~~LOS related existing deficiencies within the sanitary sewer collection and treatment system. The Capital Improvements Program identifies various projects scheduled to be completed within the next five years. Many of these projects represent improvements to provide for facility upgrades or existing maintenance requirements. b. Future Demand Capacity The City's concurrency management requires an assessment of available capacity at the time of development approval. Based upon an assessment of approved projects, which will impact the system in the future, the City's has estimated that the average daily demand by the year ?(~}-?2010 will be ~-~-1-2.215 MGD. Therefore, the available sewer capacity for new project impacts is approximately ?1.867 MGD. • There is no service area outside the City limits, with the exceptions of the few properties located within the City of Oviedo. The City does not plan to provide service outside the City limits in the near future.

The two treatment plants ~1-should have sufficient wastewater treatment capacity to meet ~k3e-demands for the long term planning horizon.- through approximately 2030. Based on projected population estimates developed for the Comprehensive Plan, the City will be providing wastewater treatment capacity of 117.5 GPCD in 2010 and 104.5 GPCD in 2020, dropping just below the adopted LOS to 99.4 GPCD of wastewater treatment capacity in 2025 and to 94.6 GPCD in 2030 without implementing any capacity expansions. IV-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 2. Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities The City's central sanitary sewer system is generally in good condition and adequately meeting the demand of its users. a. Wastewater Treatment Plants The East WWTP was ~eeer~~l~-rehabilitated in 1996. The West WWTP was ~~ upgraded in 1996 as well. As both plants are Class 1 reliability facilities, there is no foreseeable need to replace either facility during the ?Af(a-short term planning horizon. b. Collection System Performance A gravity system defines the boundaries of the existing wastewater service area. As with other systems, the type of construction materials used is representative of the age of the system. The existing gravity collection system for the older areas of the City is constructed using primarily clay pipe. Newer developments in the service area are served primarily by PVC pipe. The age and condition of the existing clay system is assumed to contribute a large percentage of the inflow infiltration (I~I) currently discharging into the gravity system. During periods of heavy rainfall and high groundwater tables, the amount of I/I into the system can be significant. The City has committed to reducing I~I through a systematic I/I reduction program and the purchase of specialized equipment for repairing the lines in the system. The City has an on-going infiltration inflow (I~I) program to assess I~I in the City's collection system. Most minor repairs are made by either applying grout internally, or by means of a pipe relining approach. More major repairs are accomplished by the City's "point repair" procedures, whereby short sections of collection line are replaced on an as needed basis. In extreme cases, of older, badly deteriorated gravity lines, it is sometimes more cost effective to replace much longer sections of sewer pipe, and in these cases priorities for available funding are established and funds budgeted on an as needed basis. Given the topography of the Winter Springs area, the gravity system within each LSSA is assumed to be lateral in nature and adequate for service, except for routine repair and replacement, throughout the planning horizon. Lift stations are depreciated on a forty (40) year schedule. 3. Sanitary Sewer Facility Replacement, Expansion and New Facility Siting To meet future demand, a list of major capital improvements is presented and prioritized in the Schedule of Capital Improvements ~SC11 for sanitary sewer facilities. The majority of these improvements are necessary to eliminate existing deficiencies, provide main line extensions to new wastewater customers, or to implement expansion of the reclaimed water system. During the next five years, the City will need to evaluate the potential remaining life of the water treatment plants to determine the time frame for replacement. IV-32 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Iv-~C. Potable Water Sub-Element A. INTRODUCTION The City _ .: currently owns, operates and maintains a central potable water treatment and distribution system within its corporate limits. The City's potable water system provides water for both residential and non-residential purposes, including fire-fighting demands. A Water and Wastewater Rate Study for the City was i~ec~adopted in 2(1Fi1-June 2002 to sets service availability fees and user fees for potable water and sanitary sewer ~r:er~customers. A new rate structure study is currently in review and will be adopted in 2009. In 2007, the City completed "~ ,its Water Supply Plan 2007 (Supply Plan). The Supply Plan was part of legislation adopted in 2005 for the purpose of strengthening coordination of water supply planning and local land use planning. The legislation required extensive evaluation of water supply facilities for at least aten-year planning period. The Supply Plan's evaluation period projects an eighteen-year planning period. By extending the planning period to 2025, the Supply Plan is better able to assess future needs and utilizes compatible planning increments with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)'s District Water Supply Plan 2005-. The City is located in an area that the SJRWMD identifies as a priority water resource caution area in the District Water Supply Plan 2005. A priority water resource caution area is an area where existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water may not be adequate to supply water for all existing legal uses and anticipated future needs while sustaining water resources and related natural systems through 2025. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop acounty-wide water supply plan (County Plan). The County Plan ~rt~identifies projects that are suitable to be included in a future update or addendum to the District Water Supply Plan 2005. Data and analysis within the City's Supply Plan t~~li~z-I~rt, ~ed~~ras well as future population projections, and analysis of the existing supply and treatment facilities associated with the continuation of the residential reclaimed water system program and conservation programs, indicate that the City will not need additional groundwater or other potable water sources to meet demands through ?~a?52030. B. P~B~I~POTABLE WATER FACILITIES INVENTORY 1. Public Potable Water Facilities Inventory a. Operational Responsibility The : CitY'S Public Works~Utility Department is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the central public water system within the City's service area. b. Service Area The City has historically provided potable water service to meet demands within the City's boundaries, with the exception of a few parcels at the City's perimeter. IV-33 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT These are served by the City of Longwood, the City of Casselberry, or by Seminole County Environmental Services (SCEs) and represent an insignificant portion of each utility's service capability. Seminole County Environmental Services SC( ES) supplies potable water to Tuscawilla Unit 2: and to parcel 14 at the Oviedo Marketplace. The City area served by Seminole County currently includes approximately 65 single-family homes (22,750 GPDj-~-is~) and one office building (4.500 GPD). Additionally, as the remainder of parcel 14 develops, the SCEs will supply an additional capacity of 33,500 GPD on a wholesale basis to the City. These areas are very small in comparison with the overall SCEs capacity and can be adequately served by SCEs. According to information available from the Seminole County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the current groundwater supply and treatment facilities are sufficient to meet the demands through the 2025 projections. In general, the amount of water sold to ~ ity residents or wholesaled to the City is a small fraction of the County's overall water demand. The City of Casselberry serves approximately seven (7) commercial/warehouse customers on Belle Avenue that are located within the City. These are direct customers of the City of Casselberry and are not part of a wholesale or interlocal agreement. These customers are adequately served and represent a small fraction of the Casselberry service capability. • Winter Springs entered into an interlocal agreement in 2006 with the City of Longwood to serve certain identified properties along US 17-92. Currently, Longwood services only a few customers that are located within the City. Additionally, individual wells self-serve approximately 325 single family homes within the City limits. There are no plans to extend water service lines into these areas at this time. Generally, the City does not service areas outside of the City limits. The ones site: served outside of the City ~-reis because no other service was available. Once in a while. the City will enter into an annexation agreement to service a property that seeks to be annexed and wishes to receive City services, but is not yet contiguous to the City. In 2001, two sites were being served outside the City. However, one of these properties has since been annexed. As of April 2007, the City is servicing approximately 12,~1u409 service connections. The predominant users serviced by the central system are residential customers within the City limits. The central water system service area is identified on Map IV-1~C-1: Service Area. No service area growth is anticipated. • Table IV~C - 1: Existing Potable Water Customers Type of User Within City Limits Outside City Limits Residential 12,?(~1109 meters T~rO meters Commercial 300 meters 1 meter Total 12,4 9 meters 21 meter Source: Winter Springs Utility Department, A~-?~9A-February 2009 IV-34 w i J •W W W H U H N Q oC Z i• N Z Z CC Q a a N W W ~ ~ N Z Z ~ w ~ a H ~ V V a i Q d r V a ~~. # s ~ t ' ~ ~ ~ z ~ t z _ _. ~ ..

Water Treatment Plants The City's central system consists of two (2) water service areas with three (3) water treatment plants which are interconnected and which operate as one (1) system. Each of the service areas are supplied by four wells. Table IV-~C - 2: Water Treatment Plants WTP #1 851 Northern Way (east) WTP #2 700 Sheoah Blvd. (west) WTP #3 1 10 West Bahama Ave. (west) • • Source: Winter Springs Utility Department, City of Winter Springs Water Supply Plan 2007. WTP #1 is located at 851 Northern Way in the Tuskcawilla residential planned unit development. The plant has four (4) wells (5200 GPM); two (2) storage tanks [a 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (aerator capability 3800 GPM) and a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank (aerator capability 3500 GPM)]; and three (3) high service pumps (7950 GPM). There is sufficient area for further expansion of ground storage capacity and high service pumping. WTP #2 is located at 700 Sheoah Boulevard in the Highlands residential planned unit development. The plant has some minor room for further expansion. The plant includes two (2) wells (2200 GPM) [one onsite and one offsite]; one 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (3800 GPM of aerator capacity); and three high service pumps (4350 GPM). WTP #3 is located at 1 10 West Bahama Road. The plant consists of two (2) wells (3500 GPM); one 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (aeration 3800 GPM); and three (3) high service pumps (3100 GPM). All of the City's central system treatment facilities utilize the same basic process for water treatment. First, raw groundwater is pumped from the aquifer through a cascade aerator atop the ground storage tank for hydrogen sulfide removal. Second, the water is chlorinated/disinfected with either sodium hypochlorite (a concentrated bleach) or chlorine gas and pumped into the distribution system with high service pumping units. A phosphate inhibitor is added to the raw water and provides a "passive" coating on the interior of pipes, thereby reducing the corrosion effect and leaching of metallic constituents (lead and copper). Each of these treatment facilities consists of several distinct parts, which together comprise a complete plant system, including: wells, treatment, storage, and high service pumping. b. Water Qualitx The City's raw water quality meets the maximum contaminant levels for all currently regulated inorganic and organic contaminants and is of good quality with the exception of high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, sulfate and chlorides, at specific wells. There is no evidence of coli_form bacteria. Raw water quality is IV-37 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT described in detail in the Supply Plan. The finished water quality produced by the central system meets all State and Federal regulations related to the production of safe drinking water. However, it is likely that new regulations by the Flet:ieEer FDEP} will require removal of s~her-sulfur concentrations over 0.3 mg/I as wells are altered or new wells are constructed. c. Distribution System The interconnected distribution system consists of water mains up to 16 inches in diameter. The mains consist of various materials including: asbestos cement, ductile iron, polyvinyl chloride, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and cast iron, depending upon location and/or design circumstances. The distribution system is illustrated on Map IV-13C-2: Water Line Distribution System. e:d. Public Wells The City's central potable water distribution system is connected to eight (8) potable water wells. Drawdowns in the surficial aquifer are estimated to be very low. A five hundred (500) foot minimum spacing between wells is maintained, in order to reduce possible interference between wells. The current capacity for each well is identified below: Table IV-~C - 3: Inventory of Existing Wells Well Location Well # Well Diameter Well Pump Capacity (GPM) Well Depth Casing Depth Pump Motor H.P.

Consumptive Use Permit Withdrawal of water from the Floridan Aq~f+fe~~ uifer is regulated by the SJRWMD, by the issuance of a Consumptive Use Permit (CUP). The City's CUP#8238 e~+re~-was issued by the SJRWMD in October 1996 and expired on October 8. 2006. The City filed an application for CUP renewal prior to the expiration date and the application is under review. The City continues to operate off of the expired permit until a new one is issued. At the time of renewal the City, if eligible, can opt fora 20-xear permit. Since the City's adoption of the water restriction ordinance on February 26, 2001, the annual water usage has consistently been lower than the withdrawal allocation allowed by the CUP. Prior to the adoption of the ordinance, the annual usage exceeded the permitted capacity three out of the five Years following the issuance of the 1996 CUP. For authorized average and maximum daily withdrawals under the CUP, see Table IV- 8--1-9C - 8: Projected Demand, Facility Capacity, and Permit Conditions. u Table IV-1'~C - 6: Existing Water Plant Design Capacities Well Capacity High Service Ground A Location Storage erator Capacity GMP GPM MGD GPM MGD (gallons) WTP #1 ~3~600 X18.64 7950 1 1.45 1 500,000 7300 0* (4600**) (6.63**) WTP #2 2200 3.17 4350 6.26 500,000 3800 WTP #3 3500 (1 100**) 5.04 3100 4.46 X500,000 3800 TOTAL ~A~AA ~g-1-~ ~~ f}''~16• 15,400 22.17 2,500,000 14,900 (~0 $ 5 (12,050**) (17.35 **) (9300**) lj 3.39**) MAX.

ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCES The City '' operates two (2) wastewater treatment plants with a combined treatment capacity of approximately ~5F,4.082 MGD , ?-m1T . Wastewater is collected, treated, and redistributed for irrigation purposes. In ?9F~-X2008, the reclaimed water system had ~?E~1,644 residential connections utilizing a flow of approximately 1.334 MGD, average daily flow. The reclaimed water has also been utilized at tone golf escourse (Tuscawilla Golf Cours ~ ) a public park, and other urban landscape areas. The system has reduced demands on the City's potable water system. New development which abuts existing or planned routes of the City's reclaimed water distribution system is required to connect to the City's reclaimed water system. New development is also encouraged to utilize storm water or surface waters for irrigation use, wherever feasible. The system is currently constrained by the availability of wastewater in proportion to the demand for irrigation water. Current irrigation demand exceeds the amount of wastewater generated by a single family home by as much as four (4) times. Use of secondary sources of water to supplement the system (such as Lake Jesup), will allow expansion of the City's reclaimed water system. D. CONSERVATION PROGRAMS The City has implemented numerous conservation programs: Water Restrictions. The City follows the watering restrictions recommended by the SJRWMD, which prohibit watering between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM and more than twice a week. An ordinance implemented in 2001 addresses water shortage conditions and watering restrictions that can be imposed by the City. This restriction applies to all water uses including potable, reclaimed water use, surface water and shallow wells. SJRWMD has new watering restrictions effective beginning March 8, 2009. The City is in the process of drafting an ordinance which supports these regulations, along with restricting use of alternative water for irrigation to a similar schedule. Conservation Rate Structure. Since 1998, the City has used a 5-tier water conservation promoting rate structure for the pricing of potable water use. The City also uses a 3-tier rate structure for reclaimed water use. A rate structure study will be completed in 2009 which will adjust water rates for potable, alternative and reclaimed water to support a reduction in potable water use and the implementation of the Lake Jesup Water Augmentation Project. The previous rate structure was adopted in June 2002. Reclaimed Water Program. The City's reclaimed water program and the water conservation benefits of the program are promoted through literature distributed to water customers. New developments are required to construct a reclaimed or other non-potable water distribution system. Additional water conservation practices that have been implemented include: Conducting an informal leak detection program; Use of billing software to reduce discrepancies in reported gallons billed versus gallons pumped; Requiring compliance with the Florida Building Code standards for low volume fixtures in all new development; Promotion of water efficient landscape and irrigation (XeriscapeT^^) practices through regulations and education; Providing IV-43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT sites which showcase examples of Waterwise (XeriscapeT"`l practices; Using native vegetation on public lands as feasible; Providing retrofit kits and making water conservation literature available; and Providing public tours of facilities. E. WATER SUPPLY CONCURRENCY In order to ensure that water is available at time of development, a concurrency management procedure has been implemented. This procedure includes the participation of a representative from the City's Utility Department as a participant during development review. This representative addresses availability of potable and reclaimed water to new development, thus ensuring that the approval of development orders are coordinated with the availability of a water supply. The demand per ep rsonc for potable water is calculated by taking the volume of water treated and pumped and dividing it by the City's population. The City's consumption rate went from a high of 145 gallons per ep rsone~-~~ per day (GPCD) (1998) to a low of 104 GPCD (2003). Demand can fluctuate considerably depending upon the weather patterns of a given year. An extremely dry year in 2006 increased demand to 1 35 GPCD: though flows dropped back down in 2007 and 2008. This represents the volatility of irrigation demands on the water supply. Expanding the City's Reclaimed Water and Conservation Programs will ensure that the potable water demand is reduced regardless of weather patterns. The City projects that the per eperson potable water consumption will continue to decrease from historic patterns, given the expansion of the reclaimed water system, conservation programs, and development of infill properties with denser housing configurations, such as townhouses, apartments and condominiums, rather than large lot single family homes. The City's level of service (LOS) for the potable water supply is a minimum of 1 15 gallons per ex-l-xt~ ep rson per day (GPCD). F. PROJECTED WATER NEEDS AND SOURCES a. Population Population growth is expected to increase by 1.~ °" 3 percent per year ~~~c~-through ~ ?2030. This projection adds SS~310,148 people to the City: from the 2008 population. Population and corresponding water demand rates are the most important factors in determining the need for additional supply and treatment facilities. Historical rates of water usage were analyzed to better understand demand factors. b. Potable Water Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies As of ?AF~~2008, the City of Winter Springs's central system is providing 9-47.913 MGD maximum daily flow. Treatment plants are rated by their ability to serve based on the limiting component. ';Although the limiting component was previously the storage capacity, the current limiting component is the s~c•e allowable consumptive use. The storage system has a maximum capacity of 10.1 MGD (maximum daily flow criterion . " ' ~: ), resulting in an estimated 0.70 million gallons per day of surplus capacity:, which is adequate to IV-44 r~ u CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT meet the City's allowable consumptive use. The existing system is able to serve all of the existing residential and non-residential units that are currently connected to private wells. ~eTherefore, the City does not have any capacity deficiencies within the central system. c. Future Demand Capacitx The ability of the City's system to meet the consumptive demand is controlled by the maximum permitted pumping capacity as limited by the City's Consumptive Use permit from the St. John's River Water Management District. SJRWMD has indicated that the permitted supply of groundwater will be frozen at the 2013 level district-wide for subsequent years, based on what the Floridan :~r€er« uifer can support for the region. However, it is likely, based on City staff's current CUP negotiations with SJRWMD, that the SJRWMD will authorize the City's CUP at a rate of 5.1 MGD, a rate similar to the City's authorized withdrawal rate for 2005. Future water demand was forecast based on City population projections through ?A?~2030. The City has the capacity to service the City's potable water demands through the projected planning period, while considering the 2~~likely CUP limitations=ke, given the expanded use of reclaimed and alternative water `-~`'-~-- °~a--~~-to reduce this demand and enables the City to meet its LOS. • Table IV-1~C - 7: Projected Water Demands in MGD Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 Population ~Fr,FrS(}35,857 X9538,363 41,~?~40,319 42,x;376 44,538 Average Daily Flow 5.05 5.31 5.30 5.30 5.30 Max.

Performance and Condition of Existina Facilities • The water quality from the Floridan er« uifer is sufficiently good and only requires aeration and chlorination treatment to provide potable water. Each of the City's three water treatment plants has consistently operated in compliance with all criteria established by the FDEP and the Florida Department of Health with respect to public water supplies. All three of the City's water treatment plants (WTP #1, WTP #2 8~ WTP #3) were constructed in 1972. Each plant continues to be maintained in good operating condition. Repairs and/or upgrades to each plant are performed as required on an individual basis. Each plant should have a minimum remaining useful life of at least 40 years. The following table summarizes the City's historical and projected water consumption data based on plant flow records from January 2001 to December 2~9~2008 and shows the SJRWMD's CUP data in comparison to demand. Conservation efforts and an expanded reclaimed water system have led to a general decrease in per capita demand, with the exception of 2006 which was a particularly dry year. • Table IV-C - 8: Projected Demand.

IV-49 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT • G. FUTURE WATER SOURCES Limitations on the Floridan ~« uifer as a resource require the City to consider alternative water sources. The 2006 Addendum to the SJRWMD's District Wafer Supply Plan 2005 included alternative water source options for local jurisdictions to consider. Winter Springs is currently in the planning stages of the Winter Springs -Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation Project. This project ~: is projected to produce 2.25 MGD. Winter Springs has requested cost-share funding under the Water Protection and Sustainability Program and has been granted $~-~3?2.4 million over a three year period-f?~F-}8-?1~~. The City's portion of the total construction cost is anticipated at $6.(~7 million. Winter Springs has purchased a site for the plant on the south shore of Lake Jesup and in 2006, applied for a CUP (#105763) for the withdrawal of surface water from the Lake to supplement its reclaimed water supply. The CUP application °:~ ~~•,-'•~° ° •~--•was approved by the SJRWMD: in 2007 for 2.25 MGD. The project consists of construction of filtration treatment, two 1.0 MGD ground storage tanks, pumping facilities and high level disinfectant facilities. The facility will be constructed with expansion capacity to provide treated surface water to neighboring entities not in the ~~hCitY'S service area, through interconnects based on interlocal agreements. Completion of the }~ejec-tinitial plant is slated for 2010. ..~ ..The City is continuing to expand its reclaimed water distribution system. It anticipates supplying approximately 20% of its residents with reclaimed water for landscape irrigation by 2013 and expanding to every single family detached home which is connected to City sanitary sewer service by 2025. Projections for the use of reclaimed water indicate that public reception is above average and that it is a viable source of irrigation water for the City. Reclaimed water reduces demand for potable water and will allow the City to use potable water for new development which is its highest and best use. As reclaimed water becomes available, potable water for irrigation use will be prohibited. I~H. FUTURE CONSERVATION PROGRAMS Conservation Programs can impact public perception and support of good stewardship of water resources. These efforts, however, pre not able to be quantified in terms of MGD reductions on a spreadsheet. If they were, they would appear to have only an insignificant impact. Their greater impact is a greater community awareness of the identity of the place in which they reside and how to better sustain it. The following summarizes key areas where the City can make improvements: Land Development Regulations. The City's Land Development Regulations will be revised to reflect best practices in water efficient landscaping and the use of native plant materials. Water Conservation Education. The City's website will be expanded to include information on water conservation. Water conservation materials will be displayed at City Hpll. The City will continue to implement examples of water efficient landscapes (XeriscapesT^^) as models for the public. The City will consider initiating an award program recognizing best practices in water efficient landscaping within Winter Springs and consider supporting City Staff training and involvement in school programs such as "Drop Savers" and "Project WET". Retrofits. The City will continue its meter replacement program to retrofit meters with unaccounted water loss and consider incentives for retrofitting old plumbing fixtures with low volume fixtures.

SOLID WASTE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The collection and disposal of solid waste is necessary for the protection of public health, safety and welfare. In 1976, the federal government passed the Resource and Recovery Act, which empowered the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate hazardous waste and develop minimum standards for land filling solid waste. _In 1980, Congress passed additional legislation, which empowered the EPA to directly respond to chemical spills or the release of hazardous substances. Also in 1980, the State of Florida passed the Florida Resource Recovery and Management Act. This Act established hazardous waste definitions, established a permitting system, required monitoring, and provided funds for clean up efforts. _In 1988, the Florida Solid Waste Management Act was established. _The Act required recycling programs and a reduction of the solid waste stream, as well as banning disposal of specified items in landfills. .Seminole County operates two solid waste facilities - sceola Road Solid Waste Management Facility (OLF) and the Central Transfer Station (CTS). The City contracts garbage and refuse collection service for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Waste Pro currently provides the City e~ ~ with solid waste collection and recycling services. ~~; Household hazardous waste is accepted at the County facilities. ., << > > > > ., << , ,> > > > > ~es~}-sys~et~~ « » IV-54 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT « - ,> • `~rc24t2`Ctt~a~s~ 'e '~33C'fkt2s-sel~ , 1. ~ .: c t ~ .] .. ~ > > > > > > B.

The City has an interlocal agreement with the County from January 2006, in which the City commits to utilize the OLF for its residential and commercial solid waste disposal for a period of ten years. Seminole County agrees to maintain its disposal facilities to ensure adequate capacity for all of the City's solid waste disposal needs. This includes residential waste, garbage, white goods, yard waste, recycling and household hazardous waste from City residents, and offers mulch and compost free of charge. The interlocal agreement does not require the disposal of construction and demolition debris at the OLF. a. Operational Responsibilitx The City provides solid waste collection services for both residential and commercial users through Waste Pro, a private hauler. The current franchise aareement with Waste Pro is for a five year period and expires on February 28. 201 1. The agreement includes the collection and disposal of bulk trash, refuse, vegetative waste, recyclable materials, white goods, and construction and demolition debris from residents, businesses, and other entities within the municipal boundaries of the Citx. To meet compliance with the State resource recovery statute, the CitK has also enacted policies for the collection and reclamation of aluminum, glass, plastic, and newspaper products. The General Services Administrator is responsible for monitoring the City's solid waste franchise and Seminole County is responsible for the operation of the landfill. IV-55 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT b. Service Area and Predominant Users The service area for~~~~'the City includes all residential and non- residential users within the municipal boundaries. The County landfill facility accepts solid waste from City ~"' arbage collection operations, as well as garbage from other Seminole County cities, private citizens, and private haulers operating in Seminole County. 'CT~1`teQrllTIIi3TCI~ZZ,''TC'I:T At the present, approximately 11," :224 households utilize refuse collection services. The City bills these customers each month along with their water/wastewater charges. There are approximately 2~-1E~1240 commercial and industrial customers within the municipal boundaries. Included in this classification are condominiums, apartment complexes, and other multi-family residential developments that are serviced by dumpsters and billed directly to the company. _The Seminole County Landfill also serves customers outside of the municipal boundaries. c. Solid Waste Facility Design and Capacity The ~~•--~•~•~'~'.;~~~•-~`,~'.~~ "'"^LF property extends over 6,000 acres. It is a Class I landfill with a natural clay liner. Phase I of the landfill is capped at 131 feet high. Phase II is the active landfill and is currently 73 feet high. Phase III will tie Phases 18~ II together and be 270 feet high. Gas Recovery and Leachate Removal Systems are installed on the site. The `~~OLS is classified by the State Department of Environmental Regulation (DEP) as a "Class I" landfill. A "Class I" landfill accepts municipal solid wastes, including garbage, refuse, and dried sludge. Construction and demolition (CB~D) debris and white goods are not accepted at the ';erlt~a' ?'°°~; F°° ~~°~~~~~TS, and such material is required to be separated out and disposed at the r'~°°~~'° '.....ac."OLF, located in Geneva, Florida. The ELF consists of an administrative office, truck maintenance facility, white goods recycling area, tire processing facility, yard waste processing facility, as well as recycling and household hazardous waste drop off facilities. These facilities were created as a result of landfill bans on white goods, tires and yard waste. In addition to the OLF, Seminole County operates the CTS. The location of landfill sites and other solid waste facilities in Seminole County is presented on Map IV- ED-1. Eighty percent of all the solid waste generated in the County is delivered to the CTS. -The other 20% is delivered directly to the OLF. The CTS is a three-story building consisting of administrative offices, the solid waste tipping floor, transfer trailer tunnel, the Sma II Material Recovery Facility _ and the Recycling and Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off Facilities.

Environmental Compliance Assistance and Pollution Prevention Program ECAP3 The ECAP3 is part of the Seminole County Environmental Services Department, Solid Waste Management Division (SWMD). The ECAP3 Team consists of the Environmental Programs Manager a Compliance Coordinator, two Environmental Program Coordinators and a Household Hazardous Waste Technician. The goal of the program is to protect the citizens, employees, environment and County Landfill from exposure or contamination due to improper management and disposal of hazardous waste or other regulated waste. The program is supported by the Seminole County Solid Waste Management Division through normal tipping fees. The only costs passed on to customers are those for disposal of hazardous waste and E-scrap Generated by businesses. The ECAP3 Team typically deals with hazardous and other regulated chemical types of wastes. Programs do not normally include hazardous materials that are considered a product, biomedical waste or domestic waste. The ECAP3 provides the followinG programs: Small Quantity Generator Compliance Assistance Program The Small Quantity Generator (SQGI Compliance Assistance Program conducts compliance assistance visits (CAVsI at businesses and government facilities that potentially generate hazardous waste or other regulated wastes. The CAV: • Determines how the facility manages and disposes of regulated waste; • Determines if there are illicit discharges as stipulated in the County's NPDES ep rmit; • Advises facility operators of changes that are needed to ensure compliance with regulated waste rules: • Offers suggestions for pollution prevention that can save the facilitx money; Examples of facilities visited: Vehicle Repair Shops Paint & Body Shops Dry Cleaners Furniture Finishers Pest Control Companies Photo Processing Medical Practices Manufacturing/Processing Laboratories Printers Parks Maintenance Municipal Maintenance Shops • Investigates citizen complaints related to environmental issues involving either businesses or erivate households. • Responds to major spills and releases to ensure they are cleaned ue and remediated properly. These are typically incidents that go beyond the scope of Fire and Rescue's Special Hazards and Operations Team (SHOT) and reauire that the responsible party hires an environmental contractor to complete the cleanup. IV-59 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Household Hazardous Waste Programs The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Programs offers private households a means to properly disgose of their hazardous wastes at no cost. A permanent HHW Collection Center is operated at the CTS from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Saturday. The wastes are sorted and stored until picked up by the hazardous waste contractor. Household Hazardous Waste includes: Paint Solvents Pesticides Pool Chemicals Rechargeable Batteries Lead-Acid (Automotive) Batteries Used Oil & Filters Other Automotive Fluids Mercury containing devices such as mercury thermometers or thermostats, fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps • The E-scrap Program provides citizens with a means to recycle end-of-life electronics at no cost. It is located at the CTS with the same hours as the HHW Center. -The items are sorted and stored until picked up by the E- scrap recycling contractor. The major environmental concern with E-scrap is lead and other heavesmetals. E-scrap includes: Televisions DVD Players & Video Recorders Computers/Laptops Monitors Printers Copiers/Copiers/Fax Machines • The Sharps Program provides citizens that take medication by infection at home a safe and convenient means to properly dispose of used needles, lancets, etc. at no cost. Citizens can pickup and return sharps containers at a number of locations throughout the County, including all Fire Stations. • Waste Tire Amnesty Days provide non-business residents an opportunity to dispose of up to 10 old tires for free. Four Tire Amnesty events are held each year. (Private citizens and businesses can dispose of waste tires at any time for a charge.) • Special collection events for businesses, government entities and non-profit organizations to dispose of E-scrap and hazardous waste are held throughout the year. The customers are responsible to pay all costs directly to the contractor. (FDEP regulations require that facilities meet the criteria of a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator in order to transport their own hazardous waste and participate in such collection events for hazardous waste. These regulations do not apply to transporting E-scrap.) Environmental Compliance and Training Environmental Compliance and Training includes the following services: • Ensures the SWMD facilities meet the rules and regulations of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), USEPA, other regulatory agencies and all related permits. • Oversees and coordinates the SWMD Special Waste Program (SWP). The purpose of the SWP is to determine,, on a case by case basis, if wastes that IV-60 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT are not normal municipal solid waste will be accepted at SWMD facilities. Examples of special wastes include: manufacturing-processing wastes, sludges and contaminated soil. • Assists other county and city~a encies with waste determinations, disposal of hazardous waste and other environmental compliance matters. • Coordinates the Seminole County Environmental Task Force. The Task Force meets every other month and consists of representatives from ECAP3, Stormwater, Mosauito Control, Planning & Development, Tanks-Petroleum Cleanup, Fire Department, Sheriff's Office, Code Enforcement, FDEP, Bureau of Emergency Response, FDEP Criminal Investigation and cities within the county. The purpose of the Task Force is to discuss and coordinate on-going_ and~or difficult environmental cases, share information and minimize duplication of effort. • Provides Environmental Awareness and Compliance Training for County employees. Typically 300 to 400 employees are trained per year. • Provides environmental training to governmental entities and local businesses through particig_ation in the Metropolitan Environmental Training Alliance (METRA). • Conducts public outreach and training to schools, citizen groups, other municipalities within the county, etc. • Provides support as stipulated through the NPDES permit held by the County and seven cities. This support includes: ^ Inspecting for illicit discharges conducted during CAVs. ^ Investigating citizen complaints that may affect Stormwater. ^ Responding to spills and other emergency events that may affect Stormwater or have other environmental impact. ^ Protection of the environment as provided through the HHW programs. ^ Training -Most of the training includes Stormwater topics. This information is included in the annual NPDES reports submitted by the County and cities. ,~ ,> tl-} f-fa~~ri~e > > • ~ , IV-61 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT cue. Recycling Program Pursuant to Chapter 403, Florida Statutes, the City committed to a recycling program in 1991. The goal of the recycling program was to reduce the amount of solid waste disposed ~in the landfill ~~-by thirty percent (30%). The City successfully rec~eereduced the waste stream by over 30 percent. ~-«E3~~e~-~6-rii "czc--ii~recjiii~-ci33'et3cCr E3-~ ~-~-}L c~~4t~tt~'~, `L.~, C~:r.. ~;.1~~ Although no longer mandated ~Y Florida Statutes, the City continues to sport a reduction in waste disposed in the landfill by providing the following alternatives: •o Recycling of newspaper, glass, plastic and aluminum and; •o Removing yard trash, tires, white goods, and construction and demolition debris from the landfill disposal waste stream. Recycling requires the collection, storage, and final disposal of newspapers, glass, plastic and aluminum. This collection has resulted in e-an average net tonnage of approximately ' ~'':'1 33.32 average tons per month being removed from the landfill waste stream. The City presently provides weekly household curbside pickup of newspapers and inserts), glass jclear, green and brown plastics (1-7), aluminum cans, steel and tin household cans, brown paper grocery bags, pasteboard and cardboard.€er . , The County recycles 100% of the tires received at the OLF ., for ~~-mulch, playground equipment and other uses.

DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The City of Winter Springs is committed to maintaining the quality of its surface waters. The purpose of this element is to provide analysis of the available data regarding the surpluses and deficiencies of the existing drainage infrastructure serving Winter Springs' residents so the City can adequately plan for the requirements of the projected population and future land use needs. The following analysis will lay the foundation for goals, objectives, and policies, which will ensure that drainage and stormwater management needs are met throughout the planning timeframe. To adequately regulate stormwater, it is necessary to manage both the quality and the quantity of rainfall and runoff. In addition to abatement, it is necessary for drainage facilities to serve other important functions such as water quality management and aquifer recharge. Management of stormwater is important in maintaining the water quality of the City's lakes, creeks, and wetlands. stormwater can carry a number of pollutants and is responsible for over half the pollution load entering Florida's waters. Currently, stormwater runoff is an issue of local concern for the City~~"' _ The incursion of development involves the placement of streets, sidewalks, buildings, and parking lots over soils and native vegetation. As a result, stormwater, which would naturally percolate into the ground, runs off of the impermeable surfaces, carrying with it litter, pesticides and fertilizers, heavy metals, and other pollutants. In more densely developed areas, pollutants such as oil and gasoline can be washed off in to the streets. While in more rural areas, agricultural runoff can contain excessive nutrients, which are harmful to fish and can pollute drinking water. Therefore, it is important for the City to ensure that development takes place in a manner that is consistent with the appropriate management of stormwater. The appropriate management of stormwater involves: treatment of stormwater prior to discharge into surface waters, floodwater abatement to ensure that post-development run-off does not exceed pre-development runoff, and design of stormwater facilities to promote recharge to the underlying aquifer system. To protect the quality of surface waters, the federal government enacted Section 208 of the Water Pollution Control Act for stormwater management. Additionally, Section 405 of the federal 1987 Clean Water Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPAI to establish permit regulations for stormwater. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (~3-SNPDES) permit program has been established by the EPA for municipal and county stormwater systems. Phase III of the program addresses cities and counties with erover 100,000 persons. Seminole County was designated a Phase I entity in 1998. The City is part of a joint permit with Seminole County and has been participating in the NPDES program for approximately 10 years. Initial involvement consisted of data gathering and analysis. eke-~i~ The State of Florida addresses surface water management in Chapter 62-40 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and defines permit requirements and management responsibilities in Chapter 62-25 F.A.C. One of the primary concerns of the State rule is to be prepared for repeat storm events. Many facilities within the State were only designed to adequately treat the first storm. The State emphasizes that capacity must be available 72 hours after the initial storm. The Water Management Districts regulate stormwater management systems via Chapter 40C-42 F.A.C. The Water Management Districts require capturing and treatment of the first flush of stormwater in ponds or swales. The first flush is known to generally contain the majority of the pollutants. IV-67 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City ~ has a Stormwater Master Plan; Plan which was adopted in October 1993. An update to this document, Supplement 1 (Supplement) was prepared in 2005 to identify and describe new projects that require attention for the future. The ~c~eSPlan and Supplement are an example of responsible commitment to progressive City planning and resource management. These documents include discussions of site-specific drainage basin parameters used in the analysis; techniques applied; results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis; identification of Stormwater facility capacities, deficiencies, and surpluses; specific improvement alternatives and prioritization of recommended improvements; c~.....~.._.,..,... n f„,.~,...

IV-72 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 2. Geo ra hic Service Area 9 P The City~h'' lies within three primary drainage basins served by, Gee Creek, Soldiers Creek (a.k.a. Soldier's Creek), and Howell Creek, all of which extend well beyond the City's corporate limits. The Gee Creek and e-eSoldier's Creek drainage basins are situated in the western sector of the City, while the Howell Creek drainage basin is situated in the eastern sector. Gee Creek, Howell Creek, and Soldier's Creek drain into Lake Jesup, which in turn, flows into the St. Johns River. The St. {e>l~~}Johns River flows northward where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. These primary drainage basins are depicted in Map IV-1=3E-2. A brief description of each primary drainage basin is provided below. The topography of Howell lie-(Creek Basin is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills, and in some areas there are swamps and sinkholes. The Howell Creek Basin is located in both Orange and Seminole Counties and has a basin area of 45.5 square miles. The headwaters of Howell Creek originate in Lake Maitland, which receives inflows from three chains of lakes via ponds. The creek then flows northeasterly through Lake Howell and continues to meet Bear Creek near Winter Springs Boulevard. The convergence occurs approximately 2 miles upstream from Lake Jesup. The headwaters of Bear Creek are located in Bear Gully Lake, which receives inflows from other lakes. The drainage area of Gee Creek is approximately 11.79 square miles and has six significant tributaries, all of which are located outside of City limits. A major portion of the City of Winter Springs, from Tuskawilla Road west, drains to this creek. ~f3e--Soldier's Creek Basin consists of approximately 19 square miles of west central Seminole County and encompasses portions of the City's of Lake Mary, Longwood, Sanford, as well as unincorporated Seminole County. Only a small portion of the City of Winter Springs, located in the northwest, drains to erSoldier's Creek. The scope of the '. Plan was limited to a general analysis of the three primary drainage basins based upon review of previous studies. Additionally, a detailed analysis of 6 selected secondary drainage basins located within and encompassing a portion of the City "~ ~ was performed. All six of these basins are tributaries to the three primary streams. These selected secondary systems are depicted in Map IV-E-2: Primary Drainage Basins and are identified below: a. Soldier's Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 1 (Lake Audubon/Highlands Creek) - This basin is approximately 1.59 square miles and includes an area south of S.R. 434, the Winter Springs Golf Course, the Highland PUD, and an area west of the Highlands to US 17-92. The system discharges into Soldier's Creek via an existing creek, which flows northeasterly. b. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System 2 (No Name Creek) - This basin is approximately 1.10 square miles and includes the easterly portion of the Ranchlands, a portion of the Mt. Greenwood PUD, and portions of North Orlando sections 2A, 9 and 10. The system discharges via an existing creek which drains easterly from the North Orlando Ranches and then northerly to Gee Creek. c. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System 3 (Little Lake Howell) -This basin collects runoff from approximately 3.34 square miles and includes the southeast portion of the Ranchlands, Dunmar Estates, all of Oak Forest, a portion of Tuscawilla located east of IV-73 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Tuskeawilla Road, and the dense vegetative hammock north of Oak Forest and South of SR 434/419. This basin discharges through an existing creek into No Name Creek. d. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 4 (Tuscawilla Golf Course/Undeveloped Lands) -This system discharges via an existing 48" culvert under Greenbrier Lane and a connecting ditch into Howell Creek. It serves as the positive outfall for the area including Chelsea Parc, Glen Eagle Units 1, 2, 3 and 4; Tuscawilla Unit 7; Fairway Oaks; Chestnut Ridge; Winter Springs Unit 3; Greenbrier Lane; ~`'~~~'~~~,-r:TNorthern Way; Tuscawilla Golf eCourse, and an offsite area discharging through an 18" culvert under Northern Way. e. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 5 (Tuscawilla Unit 14A) -This system provides a positive outfall for a portion of Tuscawilla Unit 14. The system provides stormwater treatment and attenuation within nan individual retention area prior to discharge through a control structure and into Bear Creek. Bear Creek drains northerly and into Howell Creek. f. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 6 (Tuscawilla Units 1 1 B and 12A) -This system is divided into two separate drainage areas, approximate total basin size of 51.44 acres, which drain into two common retention ponds. These ponds provide stormwater treatment and attenuation prior to discharge through control structures which outfall into an existing Swale, which flows to Bear Creek and ultimately Howell Creek. Additionally, approximately 5 acres of the City of Oviedo, in the area of Winter Springs Boulevard, drains into stormwater facilities owned and operated by the City of Winter Springs. 3. Capacity and Level of Service The areas of~ke Winter Springs that have a paved infrastructure system under the control and maintenance of the City and have a stormwater management system with a design capacity to handle a 25 =year, 24 =hour storm event represent approximately 59% of the City's overall area. Approximately 95 percent of the City's drainage facility capacity is apportioned to the City .; the remainder serves the cities of Oviedo and Casselberry. The 10-, 25-, and 100-year, 24-hour storm events were considered in the analysis of the existing drainage systems. These storm events were selected by the ':~~;- ~~` ""~--`~~° t~+City's staff to evaluate the LOS of the existing secondary drainage systems. The approximate LOS for the 6 secondary drainage systems was determined as required by Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. The LOS for the analysis of the secondary basins was assigned as summarized below: • LOS A -Protection from 100-year, 24-hour storm event • LOS B -Protection from 25-year, 24-hour storm event • LOS C -Protection from 10-year, 24-hour storm event LOS D -Flooding from 10-year, 24-hour storm event IV-74 w J W W H V H N Q Z • N Z Z CC Q d d N w w ~ ~ N Z Z 3= ~~ o~ ~o U V N C .N a d m a c 'v D d .` d N W a CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT ~•~ ~ ~ ~ ~r as -~~,~~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ . _ ~~ -.emu + u -~ t -. ;~ ~ III I 1~, 'i ~ ~ - ~ ~~t~ .~ ~.-- ~- ~~.

The LOS for roadways requires that drainage facilities for arterial roads will be designed to carry a 100-year storm event; collector and neighborhood roads will be designed to carry a 25-year storm event, per City Code. Four flood levels for residential street systems were defined in the Stormwater Master Plan for use in the evaluation of the City's Stormwater management facilities as follows: Flood Level 1 - Water surface at or below street grade. Flood Level 2 - Water surface above street grade, but below 6-inch depth of ponding. Flood Level 3 - Water surface depth greater than b inches above street grade, but below 12 inches. Flood Level 4 - Water surface depth greater than 12 inches above the street grade. C. STORMWATER FACILITY CAPACITY ANALYSIS Winter Springs has several creeks, Stormwater ponds, and drainage ditches within City Limits, some of which experience problems of flooding. IV-76 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT In September 2007. FEMA issued new Flood Insurance Rate Mates. (The previous map update was in 1995.) -Chapter 8 of the City Code has been amended to be consistent with the new maps. Approximately 8% of the City's land area exists within Flood eZones A; or AE, representing areas of 100-year flooding as identified by National Flood Insurance Maps. Flood zone maps may be found in the Conservation Element of this Plan. Strict adherence to the National Flood Insurance Program criteria is important to flood insurance rates within a jurisdiction as well as protection of life and property. All new development including building permits are reviewed for compliance with the City's flood plain management ordinances. ~T~.,, c......_.__.,..,... r,r..,..,.~ n,,.~Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) have established Total Maximum Daily load (TMDL) standards for water bodies in the central Florida area. The TMDL Program is a federally required water quality proaram administered by the FDEP under the Florida Watershed Restoration Act (Section 403.067, F.S.). The TMDL~rogram will be incorporated with the current NPDES proaram. -The City is currently completing a TMDL Master Plan which includes compliance options and an evaluation of each option's cost effectiveness. The TMDL program establishes water quality targets or pollutant load limits that indicate how much of a pollutant level can go into a receiving water body. In 2007. Seminole County and its municipalities approved an interlocal agreement to streamline TMDL intergovernmental cooperation and funding opportunities. The TMDL Master Plan will identify upstream water quality improvement projects for the City to consider in meeting-its participation requirements toward the eventual cleanup of receiving water bodies, such as Lake Jesup. 1. General Performance and Problem Areas The c'~~~-_-~'~~ "~~~~°~ Plan and Supplement identified a number of problem areas in the City that have experienced stormwater-flooding in the past. These areas were identified to bring attention to them in an effort to gain a better understanding of the existing drainage system conditions. _Presented below is a listing of the identified problem areas: • Winter Springs Boulevard Bridge crossing Bear Creek • Northern Way Bridge Crossing Howell Creek, north of Winter Springs Boulevard • Northern Way & Woodchuck Court • stormwater ponds along Seneca Boulevard • Bridges crossing Gee Creek • Oak Forest Units 1 through 4 • North Orlando Ranches sections 1, 2 8~ 2A, and 6 • Highlands section 1 • North Orlando Terrace section 5 • 434 8~ Parkstone~Winding Hollow Intersection Additionally, the study of the six secondary drainage basins within the City identified specific drainage facilities with 'ro~-.-~---'~~r~~~~~.

NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The protection of recharge areas is critical in locations that rely on aquifers as the sole source of drinking water. Well-drained areas are often subject to alteration by development since these areas are typically prime land for development. The development of impervious surfaces such as roads, roofs, and parking areas reduces the area available for percolation, which, in turn, reduces the quantity of natural recharge to the aquifer. The quality of the water that is recharged in to the aquifer is also a critical factor since impacts of development can compromise the quality of the water. Groundwater can absorb contaminants from development and transmit them to the aquifer. This sub-element is intended to protect the quantity of natural groundwater that is recharged back to the aquifer. The quality of the water for drinking purposes is addressed in the Potable Water e••'~~iSub-Element. • ~B. AQUIFER RECHARGE INVENTORY The City--c~V'~ falls within the Middle St. Johns (MSJ) groundwater basin. A groundwater basin is a particular groundwater flow system that encompasses recharge areas as well as the associated discharge areas. Three aquifer systems have been identified in the MSJ groundwater basin. These are the surficial (unconfined), the intermediate, and Floridan aquifer systems. Map IV-1~F-1 provides a generalized hydro-geologic cross section of the groundwater basin. 1. Hydrogeology a. surficial Aquifer The surficial aquifer is composed of sand, shells, and some clays, and ranges in thickness from 20 feet near the St. Johns River to approximately 60 feet in the central part of the basin. The top of the aquifer is defined by the water table, which marks the line below which all pore spaces are filled with water, and rises and falls in response to the atmospheric pressure. Flow in the surficial aquifer usually follows the topography of the land and is an important source of water for individual domestic wells and small-scale irrigation. Since there is no overlying confining unit, groundwater recharge to the surficial aquifer system is controlled by local rainfall, land use, vegetation, topography, and local soils.

This aquifer system can discharge into surface streams, lakes, and rivers, or deeper aquifers. b. Intermediate Aquifer The intermediate system lies below the surficial aquifer but above the Floridan and occurs randomly throughout the groundwater basin. It is composed of clays and thin, water-bearing zones of sand, shell, and limestone. The intermediate aquifer is usually found within the confining unit of the Floridan and occurs at 60 to 150 feet below land surface and supplies water to some parts of the basin. This IV-82 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT aquifer is an important source of potable water where the Floridan aquifer contains water of marginal quality. c. Floridan Aquifer The Floridan aquifer is the principal source of water for consumptive use in the MSJ groundwater basin and is the aquifer from which the City c~ '~ ~ raves its public water supply. The Floridan aquifer is an artesian aquifer composed of limestone and dolomite. Characteristically, artesian aquifers contain groundwater that is under pressure that is greater than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure is demonstrated by the potentiometric surface level, which is the level to which water will rise in tightly enclosed wells that penetrate the aquifer. The Floridan aquifer usually has two permeable zones containing potable water in the MSJ groundwater basin. The upper permeable zone consists of cavernous Ocala and Avon Park limestone and extends from approximately 200 to 500 feet below land surface. Withdrawals from the upper permeable zone are generally limited to small public supply and domestic wells. This zone provides the public water supply for the City ~~~ `~~~, as the City's wells are generally in the 350-foot range. The lower permeable zone consists of cavernous Lake City limestone and extends from about 1,000 to 1,300 feet below land surface. In most areas, the public water supply comes from this zone. d. Groundwater Quality of the Floridan Aquifer The natural quality of groundwater in MSJ groundwater basin varies greatly depending on the location and the depth from which water is obtained. A major concern in this basin is saltwater intrusion in areas of Seminole County. Although the MSJ groundwater basin is inland from the sea, and bordered on the west by the peninsular divide, there are some patches of connate saltwater in the Floridan aquifer. The potential exists for this saline water to migrate upward within the aquifer system in response to declines in the potentiometric surface, the magnitude of groundwater withdrawals, and climatic changes. However, ~i~~~`s~the City is located outside the areas in Seminole County that have associated chloride and sulfate concentrations of equal or greater than 250 mg/I., the recommended limit of chloride and sulfate for public water supplies set by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Therefore, the Floridan aquifer underlying ~~=i-t~er :~prit~sthe City is of good water quality and only aeration and chlorination treatments are required to provide the City with potable water for distribution. 2. Aquifer Recharge Analysis Groundwater recharge is vital for providing adequate groundwater supplies for future uses and for preserving the quality of groundwater resources. Recharge to the Floridan aquifer occurs in areas where the elevation of the water table within the surficial aquifer is higher than the elevation of the potentiometric surface elevation of the Floridan aquifer. The elevation of the potentiometric surface is approximately forty-five (45) feet above mean sea level (MSL) within the Winter Springs service area and fluctuates in response to rainfall amounts within the recharge areas. Normally, the potentiometric surface level fluctuates about five (5) feet, with the highest levels being recorded in September, just after the rainy season. The lowest levels are normally in May, after the dry season. IV-83 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN • • INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT In areas where the elevation of the water table is higher than the potentiometric surface, water moves from the surficial aquifer in a downward direction through the upper confining unit to the Floridan aquifer. Recharge rates are highest in areas where the hydraulic pressure difference and permeability are greatest. Recharge rates are directly proportional to the hydraulic pressure difference and upper confining unit hydraulic conductivity and inversely proportional to the upper confining unit thickness. Recharge also occurs directly from infiltrating rainfall where limestones of the Floridan aquifer are at or near land surface. The amount of water available as recharge to the Floridan aquifer is that part of rainfall, after losses to runoff and evapotranspiration, that infiltrates to the water table and continues to move downward to the Floridan aquifer-_ Generally, when rainfall exceeds evaporation by approximately two inches (2") per year, and the difference between water table elevation and the potentiometric surface is about ten (10) feet, conditions which are conducive to recharge exist, and recharge to the Floridan ~« uifer occurs. Soils having high infiltration potential with little or no runoff due to the lack of surface drainage features are most conducive to recharging groundwater systems. Areas of groundwater recharge to the upper Floridan aquifer in Winter Springs are depicted in • IV-84 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 3. Regulatory Framework Regulations have been enacted to prevent negative impacts of excessive water consumption. Extreme lowering of aquifer levels and surface water flows can adversely impact ecosystems by lowering lake levels, degrading wetlands and other natural systems and habitats. Other related negative impacts can include increased sinkhole frequency and saltwater intrusion in coastal areas. a. State Regulation Groundwater within the State of Florida has been classified into four categories in Section 62 Florida Administrative Code: F.A.C.. These classifications and their designated uses are, as follows: CLASS F-I Potable water use, groundwater in single-source aquifers described in Rule 62-520.460 F.A.C., which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 3,000 mg/I and were specifically reclassified as Class F-1 by the Commission. CLASS G-I Potable water use, groundwater in single-source aquifers which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 3,000 mg/I. CLASS G-II Potable water use, groundwater in aquifers which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 10,000 mg/I, unless otherwise classified by the Environmental Regulation Commission. CLASS G-III Non-potable water use, groundwater in unconfined aquifers which has a total dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg/I or greater, or which has total dissolved solids of 3,000-10,000 mg/I and either has been reclassified by the Commission as having no reasonable potential as a future source of drinking water, or has been designated by the Department as an exempted aquifer pursuant to Section 62-28.13(3), F.A.C. CLASS G-IV Non-potable water use, groundwater in confined aquifers which has a total dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg/I or greater. The State delegates powers to agencies to regulate well construction and ensure that wells are contaminant free. The potable water provided by the public wells within :the City is of a good quality requiring minimal treatment. The Water Management Districts within the state designate areas that are Priority Water Resource Caution Areas (PWRCA) and Restricted Allocation Areas (RAA). ~tThe City is located in an area that the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) identifies as a priority water resource caution area in the District Water Supply Plan 2005. A priority water resource caution area is an area where existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water may not be adequate to supply water for all existing legal uses and anticipated future needs while sustaining water resources and related natural systems through 2025. The IV-85 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT regional water sy~.pply plan for the Priories Water Resource Caution Area (District Water Supply Plan 20051 was approved bathe District Governina Board on February 7 2006, and an addendum affecting some local aovernments was approved on October 10 2006. Seminole County and all municipalities located in the County are affected by the PRWCA. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop a county-wide water supply plan (County Plan). The County Plan identifies projects that are suitable to be included in a future update or addendum to the District Water Supply Plan 2005 In addition the City adopted its 10-near Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and update to its Comprehensive Plan on July 23, 2007 meeting the mandated deadline of August 7, 2007. The SJRWMD has produced a series of GIS maps regarding aquifer recharge, water use, and related natural resource protection. -r~. , ~ r -~,~' ~?: ~s,, ~-r,, n~ I~~,;«~~~The SJRWMD has the authority to establish consumptive use permitting within its district, under Section 373.216 of the Florida Statutes. The basic principal of the consumptive use permit CUP review is as follows: 1) The use must be beneficial. 2) The use must not interfere with apre-existing legal use. 3) The use must be in the public interest. • ,,.

Land use surrounding a water supply site is a major consideration in the selection and protection of well sites to avoid contamination As part of the City's wellhead protection plan, the City should identify all potential sources of contamination for existing wells The direction of groundwater flow is to the northeast toward Lake JeSUp. The City has addressed other policies that implement groundwater protection efforts, most significantly, a water reuse program. While the City itself does not have problems with the saltwater intrusion or other contamination of its wells, the impact of excessive pumping of the City's wells may affect areas of susceptibility in Seminole County. Therefore, water reuse is an important consideration since it c .~ -:...._.. means less water is pumped out of the aquifer.

V-9 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT B. INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose As stated in Rule 9J-5.013, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the purpose of the Conservation Element is to promote the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources. This Element of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan :: ~~'~identifies and reanalyzes sources of surface and groundwater, wetlands, flood s Ip gin, air quality, valuable minerals, soil erosion, dominant vegetative and wildlife communities, listed vegetative and wildlife species, and the potential for conservation, use, and protection of ~resesthese vital resources. 2. Environmental Setting Winter Springs is located in Seminole County, in east-central Florida. The City is bordered to the north by Lake Jesup and is situated entirely within the Middle St. Johns River Drainage basin. Winter Springs .: _ possesses an abundance of natural resources including clean air; wetland and upland forests, which provide habitat for wildlife; uncontaminated groundwater, recreational opportunities, open space, and storage of floodwaters, all of which contribute to the well being of the City and its inhabitants. ,~ ,'. C. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS 1. Surface Water The City lies within three primary drainage basins served by, Gee Creek, Soldier Creek ja.k.a. Soldier's Creek, and Howell Creek, all of which extend well beyond the City's corporate limits. The Gee Creek and Soldier's Creek drainage basins are situated in the western sector of the City, while the Howell Creek drainage basin is situated in the eastern sector. Gee Creek, Howell Creek, and Soldier's Creek drain into Lake Jesup, which in turn, flows into the St. Johns River. The St. Johns River flows northward where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. These primary drainage basins are depicted _ - ", -. in Map IV-D-2 of the Drainage Element of this Comprehensive Plan. c.__r_..~ ___..~~.. _~..~....~-.` :._ ~.r-:~..... > - ;J~e-Sewell-~k~~~ a--~--~--°-`The City's major water features are depicted in ~e4a~-~-z? Map I-7 of the Future Land Use Element. Stream Condition Index Reports from Florida's Department of Environmental Protection for Gee and Howell Creeks in Winter Springs in the late 1990's indicated that water quality at these locations was verb good at that time. Suggestions in these reports for maintenance of the environmental health of these creeks included maintenance and addition of stormwater management improvements; restoration of riparian zones, and preservation of wetland areas. V-10 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT The Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Water Quality, ?~99 l~alntegrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida: 2006 305 (b) "''°~~~ r~r}~e~-r~Report and 303(d) List Update as well as the Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy, January 2008,. was utilized to assess water quality of the City's lakes and provided information on several common pollution problems. The following are water quality characteristics identified within ~e-?{~E3(~l~~these reports: Fecal Coliform Bacteria ~-2. Dissolved Oxygen ~3. 1~ia~H ~:4. ~sUn-ionized Ammonia 5. Chlorophyll a 4-6. ~Trophic State Index (TSII 5-7. Nitrogen Fr.8. Phosphorus Lake Jesup is located in the heart of Seminole County, along the middle basin of the St. Johns River. It encompasses an area of approximately 16,000 acres including open water and flood plain. ' • • According to the Integrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida: 2006 305 Lb) Report and 3031d) List Update, Lake Jesup was reported to have extremely abundant populations of blue green algae. In addition to adding to the eutrophy of the lake, these algae can potentially produce chemicals that can cause liver, brain, and skin toxicity. The Lake Jesup interagency Restoration Strategy, published in January 2008 by Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Fish 8~ Wildlife Commission, and the St. Johns River Water Management District noted how the lake is hypereutroghic with almost constant algal blooms demonstrating the heavy phosphorous loading. The 2008 Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy notes the lake is impaired by high levels of nitrogen, phosphorous and un-ionized ammonia; the 2006 Florida assessment also identified impairment for exceedance of the TSI parameter. AdditionallX, according to the Lake Jesup Conservation Area Land Management Plan, Middle St. Johns River Basin 2( 008), Jesup has been recognized as the most polluted lake directly connected to the St. Johns River. The 2008 Restoration Strategy notes that prior to 1983, Lake Jesup received marginally treated wastewater discharge via Howell Creek and various wastewater facilities. Although wastewater no longer empties into the system, various parameters did not recover sufficiently to restore the lake. A Basin Management Action Plan is currentlx under development to further improve water quality of the lake through nutrient load reduction and various other measures. Reducing the pollutants in the lake will result in improving its value and vitality as a natural resource and recreational area. In 2007, Seminole County and its municipalities approved an interlocal agreement to significantlx streamline intergovernmental cooperation and funding opportunities to address the issue of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for impaired water bodies without creating a new entity or superseding the authority of individual jurisdictions. TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water V-1 1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT quality standards. The City is currently undertaking a TMDL study to evaluate the City's alternatives in meeting its TMDL requirements. 2. Wetlands Wetlands are defined ash transitional areas between the open waters of streams, lakes and the adjacent uplands. They are characterized by vegetation and animal life that is uniquely adapted to the natural fluctuations of wet and dry conditions. e -•~Wetlands provide many important functions such as providing vital fish and wildlife habitats, and acting as storage areas for excess surface water. They also improve water quality by performing the same function as a settling pond. Impurities enter the wetland and are filtered through the vegetation. As the water travels through the wetland, toxins and nutrients are removed, allowing the filtered clean water to exit the wetland. This protects the rivers from overloading with nutrients, ---`.:..t_ --.,~..,_~ L_.._-.. . :.~~;nt~; ~. ~ <«~~.~ „•~:~r. In addition, the soil is stabilized which, in turn, prevents erosion. However, much of this natural, ordered system of surface water purification is quickly disappearing due to urban encroachment. A fair amount of wetland habitat still exists in the Winter Springs area and is scattered throughout the City. Though most of this wetland habitat is found along the shores of Lake Jesup, a significant portion extends into the center of the City. The majority of the City's wetlands are of the Palustrine nature. A Palustrine system includes any nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas where salinity due to ocean derived salts is below 0.05%. In addition, diminutive areas of Lacustrine wetland can be found along Lake Jesup's southern shore. A Lacustrine wetland is, by definition, lake-associated and may include freshwater marshes, aquatic beds, and lakeshores. 7-i_„~~~}•~°•~, ''~~The Palustrine wetlands within ~~er--~~-the City consist of: hydric hammocks and hardwood swamps, with small areas of cypress, bayhead, and wet prairie, while the minute section of Lacustrine wetland consists of water and shallow marsh. -?Map I- 8located in the Future Land Use Element depicts wetlands within the Winter Springs area, while wetland vegetative cover is represented -~'--~:on Map I-9 also located in the Future Land Use Element. 3. Flood sPlain The City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 100-year flood ~~plain in Winter Springs xreis predominately limited to the shorelines adjacent to Lake Jesup, Little Lake Howell, Lake Talmo, and the riverine flood s lain of Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek, Bear Creek, and Howell Creek. Policies s~~ k~e-~rdeare included to er~:;~~eenable the long-range protection f the City's flood plain areas. Encroachment on flood-prone areas can occur as a result of artificial fill associated with development activity. Encroachment takes away the floodwater holding capacity of an area, resulting in an increase in flood hazards beyond existing flood-prone areas. In order to ensure public health and safety and minimize flood hazard to public and private property, it is recommended that net encroachment within the flood plain be prohibited. V-12 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT ' ' According to the City s ~ Code of Ordinances, a development permit ~-'-~" '~° -~'~~~~~°-ais required before construction or development begins ---~~:~_ When new construction and substantial improvements do occur in areas of special flood hazards, they shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Additional requirements er34~r~ereguire a minimum elevation above the flood plain for the lowest floor elevation, as well as electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment, and other service facilities~e Hazardous materials can be dangerous when located in flood prone areas, as floodwaters can diffuse spills to surface waters and aquatic populations. Therefore ~~~'~~'policies require that no hazardous materials or wastes be stored within the 100-year flood plain. In addition, new and replacement sanitary sewer systems mare reauired to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the water supply systems and discharge from the systems into floodwaters. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. No new septic tanks can be located within the 100-year flood plain, as this can contribute to surface water quality problems. Existing septic systems within the flood plain should be removed and connection made to the City's sanitary sewer service when ossi le. Special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the Flood Insurance Study for Seminole County dated September 28 2007 with the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and mother supporting data were adopted by the City in January 2008. The FIS and FIRM are the minimum area of applicability and may be supplemented by studies of other areas. These areas correspond with the FEMA Q3 flood plain data epicted on • ~'-~ n..~a -- ~"••~~~~~°a Map I-10 located in the Future Land Use Element. The FEMA definitions for these zones are as follows': Zone A: Zone A is part of the special flood hazard area and the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 1-percent annual chance flood plains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by approximate methods of analysis Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for such areas, no Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements aapl~ Zone AE and A 1-A30: Zones AE is part of the special flood hazard area and are the flood insurance rate zones that correspond to the 1-percent annual chance flood plains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by detailed methods of analysis. In most instances Base Flood Elevations derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements aePly Zone AH: Zone AH is part of the special flood hazard area and the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the areas of 1-percent annual chance shallow flooding with a constant ! htm://www.fema.QOV/plan/prevent/flan/E~penl3.shtm V-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT • water-surface elevation (usually areas ofponding) where average depths are between 1 gnd 3 feet. The Base Flood Elevations derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apely. Zones B, C, and X: Zones B. C, and X are the flood insurance rate zones that correspond to areas outside the 1-percent annual chance flood plain, areas of 1-percent annual chance sheet flow flooding where average depths are less than 1 foot, areas of 1-percent annual chance stream flooding where the contributing drainage area is less than 1 sauare mile or areas protected from the 1-percent annual chance flood by levees. No Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone Insurance purchase is not required in these zones 4. Air Quality • The City ~ `.~ has a very limited amount of air pollution. This can be attributed to the minimal existence of air pollution sources found within the City. FDEP's Air Pollution Inventory System monitors point sources of air pollution, which are stationary and usually industrial; and area sources, which are combined emissions of many small stationary sources in an area. According to the FDEP, Winter Springs has c~xetwo active point sources, in proximity to Winter Springs, but not under the City's Lrisdiction. These are the APAC- Southeast, Inc. located on S.R. 419 which manufactures asphalt and Premix Marbletite, which manufactures cement products; and t~ais located in a county enclave on Old Sanford Oviedo Road. There are three active area sources, which are tall dry cleaning operations. The locations of these point and area sources are identified in ~=rMap V-I. An inventory of each active point and area air pollution source is provided in ""°'~'~ ~'-'~-.Table V-1 .

This station (site) is FDEP maintained and ~eincludes one ozone, one coarse particulate~et~eri~g ,and one set of fine particulate monitors. Fine particulates or PMs.s are particles which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less. Coarse particulates or PM~o pre .particles greater than 2.5, but less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter.

These pollutants are n-~-`~rlikely present in Winter Springs, but well below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards according to the FDEP. While there is no ambient monitoring for Lead, it is practically nonexistent in Florida. An assessment of these pollutants is provided below. a. Carbon Monoxide • • Carbon monoxide is emitted by motor vehicle exhaust. Exhaust emissions from automobiles pose a threat of increased carbon monoxide emissions. However, existing traffic patterns within the City are such that large concentrations of traffic seldom accumulate for long periods of time. This helps to negate the possibility of large concentrations of carbon monoxide from forming. V-15 ~- Z w w w Z O Q 1 w N Z 0 V i• 'N V _ZZ ~ J ~ a N w w ~ H N ?

Lead While lead is found naturally in the environment, it is the man made lead which is most prevalent. Legislation from the Environmental Protection Agency has reduced the amount of lead allowed in gasoline to the point that the maximum allowable level of lead in gasoline stands at 0.1 grams per gallon. According to the FDEP, lead as an air pollutant is practically nonexistent in the State of Florida except in areas that have lead smelters or process batteries. Therefore, Winter Springs should face no substantial problems with lead. c. Nitrogen Dioxide The threat of nitrogen dioxide forming in heavy concentrations in Winter Springs is relatively low due to the traffic patterns of the city, and also to environmental legislation. The prime contributor of nitrogen dioxide to the atmosphere is the high temperature fuel combustion engine. Under legislation from the Federal Clean Air Act, new model cars are required to be equipped with catalytic converters. These converters act as a filter of car exhaust, thereby helping to prevent the further proliferation of nitrogen dioxide.- Mandates for clean fuels also contributed to reduction in nitroaen dioxide formation. d. Ozone On March 1 2, 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the pollutant ozone (031, the principal component of smog. The primary (health-protective) standard was chanced from 0.08 parts per million (ppml to 0.075 pgm. The secondary (public welfare-protective) standard was also set at 0.075 gpm. Compliance with the standards is based on the three-year average of the annual fourth highest maximum daily 8-hour concentration. With these new standards Seminole County is compliant; however, it shares the same Metropolitan Statistical Area with Orange County which currently exceeds the new 0.075 ppm standard. Ozone is considered to be a problem for highly urbanized areas. The City~€ :, while not highly urbanized, could still be affected by ozone in the future through the growth of the Orlando area.- as indicated by Orance County's current ozone exceedance. Ozone is borne in the air and formed through reactions between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. The worst ozone conditions are hot, calm winded days. During this type of weather, the atmosphere becomes extremely heated causing increased reactions and levels of ozone to grow. Without wind the ozone remains in a concentrated area causing further pollution problems. e. Sulfur Dioxide Human made sources of sulfur dioxide represent about one third (1~3) of all measurable amounts. Most is emitted through coal fired or oil fired electric generation plants. The City's .:' power plant, `~'~-~-'~ "~---~~~ ~~Progress Energy. though not within corporate City limits, is a fossil- i fueled plant that uses oil, coal, or gas in the generation of electricity. Sulfur V-2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN dioxide is also generated in small quantities by combustible engines._ However, as stated earlier, negligible levels produced by automobiles are present in Winter Springs. f. ~~~~c~ec~Particulate Matter (PMio and PMT There are two'~~-~-~- --~~'~~ ~~anmade classifications of ~e~particulate matter. '' ' `--' °~'trrees+. '''°~."`'~"~' They are fine jPM~) and coarse (PM2.51. Sources of PMT include motor vehicle emissions, power generation, combustible engines, and sources produced from some industrial activities. rT~..~°~~'~`~~~°' _ ~ Sources of PM2, include dirt from unpaved streets, dry topsoil from agricultural fields, and dust from construction or mining. Human made emissions, which contribute to the overall levels of ~~~ particulate matter, are very minimal in relation to the naturally occurring matter. However fine particles are most closely associated with health effects. Human made sources of this pollutant are now being controlled by new technologies such as inertial separators and wet collection devices.- and other air pollution control devices and processes. g. Overall Ambient Air Quality The overall air quality within Winter Springs is expected to remain good in the future. Fortunately, more stringent standards imposed by the EPA and new technologies are such that the generation of severe pollution problems has been curbed considerably. The foremost concern for Winter Springs will be the encroachment of the Orlando Urban Area, and those pollution problems associated with highly urbanized areas. 5. Hazardous Waste The City - `.: is fortunate to have no hazardous waste sites within corporate limits; likewise, there are no hazardous waste cleanup sites in the City. However, there are nine documented sources of hazardous waste in Seminole County, many of which are also hazardous waste cleanup sites. Monitoring and overseeing cleanup services, ~ are operated by the '' ~ Seminole County Environmental Services Department with coordinated efforts by Seminole County Fire Department,. the State of Florida, and various Federal agencies who monitor the process as required by law. For these services, the hazardous waste generator would be charged as required by law, or a disaster declaration would be requested and funding would be available through ~eState and Federal agencies. The FDEP keeps a listing of all hazardous materials, their amounts, storage methods and disposal methods for small industrial operations within the County. Locally, ~e-~e€ .the Seminole County Environmental Services Department conducts compliance assistance visits (CAVs~ at businesses and government facilities that potentially generate hazardous waste or other regulated wastes, investigates citizen complaints related to environmental issues involving either businesses or I V-3 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN private households. and responding to major spills and releases to ensure they are cleaned up and remediated properly. Seminole County conducts annual site visits as required by the State of Florida for those businesses that meet or exceed the threshold planning auantity of any Extremely Hazardous Substance. In addition, the ownerfoccupant is required to submit documentation to the State and the Local Emergency Planning Committees on the Hazardous Materials at or above the required thresholds. This information is sent to the applicable local fire departments. Any hazardous material generator that meets the hazardous material threshold as established by the State Emergency Response Commission is required by law to notify the , Seminole County Environmental Compliance, Assistance and Pollution Prevention Program (ECAP31 Team. ECAP3 exists to protect the citizens. employees, environment and County Landfill from exposure or contamination due to improper management and disposal of hazardous waste or other regulated waste. Further information on programs for disposal of hazardous waste by the Seminole County Environmental Services Department is included in the Infrastructure Element. Solid Waste Sub-Element. 6. Commercially Valuable Minerals The City's most prevalent mineral resource is sand, which is most often used for construction purposes or as fill material in Florida. There are several sandpits in Seminole County that are currently operating or have been operating in the recent past, ;~~one of which are within the City, •. Included within the County are sand pits operated Excavated Products, Cecil A. Stone, Sullivan Materials, White Construction, the Florida Department of Transportation, CDS Trucking, and Marquette Shores, Inc. Although some phosphatic sediments are known to be present in Winter Springs, their ground depth as well as their unproven quality and quantity makes them uneconomical at the present. 7. Soil Erosion According to the USDA Soil Conservation Service, there are no major soil erosion problems in the Winter Springs area. However, it should be noted that r~--}~}~ei-r3s ~ix~=esudden impairment to watersheds occurred as a result of the 2004 hurricane activitx and 2007 tornado activity and aid for the installation of emergency watershed protection measures to relieve hazards and damages to the watershed were provided to the City by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Erosion problems have also been found to occur in portions of Howell Creek. This may be due to the land alteration, which has resulted in unstable stream side-slopes and loss of flood plain vegetation, which may result in sedimentation and water quality problems. Erosion and sedimentation problems are predominately due to wind and stormwater runoff over sandy, uncovered soils during construction activity or other clearing activities. In order to minimize erosion and sedimentation associated with development activities, the USDA Soil Conservation Service recommends that all developers be required to utilize I V-4 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN best management techniques for erosion control. Landscaping plans are recommended to be required for all industrial, commercial, and multi-family residential development. It is also recommended that all new development, other than infill of existing single-family residential lots that are served by regional systems, should include methods of stormwater retention which ensure post-development water run-off rates do not exceed pre- development runoff rates. 8. Soils and Vegetative Communities Soils provide several resource functions including drainage, stormwater filtration, water storage, aquifer recharge, and ground stabilization. :Map I-11 of the Future Land Use Element depicts soil types within the City According to the data provided by United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the dominant soils in the developed areas within the City ~F`~o~- ~~s-consist of Urban Land-Astatula-Apopka and Urban Land-Tavares--Millhopper soils which are characterized by being well-drained soils that are sandy throughout and contain a loamy sub-soil at a depth of 40 inches or more and are generally found in upland areas. Only a few areas of native vegetation exist in these soil types since they are well suited for the development of houses, large buildings, shopping centers, golf courses, and other urban uses. The dominant native vegetative communities found in these soil types consist of bluejack oak, live oak, and turkey oak. The understory includes chalky bluestem, Indian grass, panicum, pineland threeawn, and annual forbs. Soils located in the undeveloped areas of the City including flatwoods, sloughs; .. :, :, and depressions include the .: Myakka-~ag~eEau Gallie-Urban Land; and St. Johns-~t~i-1~~erMalabar-Wabasso; soil types. In the flood plain, depressions, creeks and swamps the Nittaw-Felda-Floridana and Pompano- Nittaw-Basinger- soil types are found. These soil types are all poorly drained and support vegetation such as slash pine, saw palmetto, cypress, and other water tolerant vegetation. 9.

February 2008 notes that the site provides habitat for both fish and wildlife, including species such as wood stork, bald eagle, Florida sandhill crane and the American alligator. The Florida Natural Areas Inventory is the primary source for information on Florida's conservation lands. National parks, state forests. wildlife management areas, local and private preserves are examples of the managed areas included in the Florida Managed Areas. 10. Listed Plant and Animal Species ~rrwithin the Winter Springs Area • cl-atrln January 2009, ecological ~et~t€~greports by the Florida Natural Inventory were prepared to identifx listed vegetative and wildlife species existing .. --- ~'--~, for the Winter Springs Area. While the database is the most ~rr~-k~e . _ , « , " omprehensive source of information available on the locations of rare species and other significant ecological resources, it is not _always based on site-specific surveys. The report notes that 'based on available information the area appears to be located on or ver~near a significant region of scrub habitat, a natural community in decline that provides important habitat for several rare species within a small area.' The two tables below indicate threatened and endangered species .in the Winter Springs area. Table V-2 shows those species with documented occurrences and notes the state and federal status. Table V-2a lists species and natural communities likely to occur in the site based on suitable habitat and~or known occurrences in the vicinity, as well as species that have the potential to occur based on the known or predicted range of the species.

V-15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1 1. Commercial, Recreation hand Conservation Uses 9€of Natural Resources a. Commercial No large-scale operations for the extraction of commercially valuable minerals take place within Winter Springs. The same is true for other natural resources, which are susceptible to exploitation by industries such as forestry and commercial fishing. The primary commercial exploitation of natural resources is development. Through land clearing, vast amounts of upland vegetative communities have been destroyed or altered. However, these upland plant communities are better suited to development than wetland areas, and do not pose as many governmental regulatory problems for developers as wetland areas do. Another minor commercial use of natural resources within the Winter Springs area is that of the numerous fishing guides located within the Seminole County area. However, sport fishing is a minor draw on natural resources of the lakes in the Winter Springs area, and it can be noted that fishing enthusiasts rely on recreational fishing methods for their catch, rather than netting or other commercial means. No large-scale commercial operations dependent upon natural resources are anticipated to locate within Winter Springs at this time. b. Recreation M A large portion of the recreational and leisure activities of Winter Springs' residents revolves around the Lake Jesup lakefront area. Central Winds Park, the City's largest developed community park; is located on Lake Jesup and provides abundant opportunities for resource-based activities.r~-4 Amenities in these parks amenities include a-~pla~grounds, sand volleyball courts, a large multi-purpose field, °~~' ~ ~~`~~°~~ `°~". numerous baseball and softball fields, lacrosse fields, and a fishing area. A passive area located on the west side of the park includes pavilions, picnic grills, horseshoes, and a nature trail. Currently, Central Winds Park is utilized for its fishing opportunities, and water sport enthusiasts can hope to see future development of the lakefront area for boating and canoeing as well: once the quality of Lake Jesup improves from clean-up efforts. Wildlife known to inhabit the lakefront area i~~includes American alligators and bald eagles, which can be observed from the park. In addition, Bear Creek Nature Trail, which parallels Bear Creek, provides a pleasant ~x-r;;~e n~~=~-i~~hiking trail which utilizes the creek and the natural -~. •~~a vegetation for .passive public recreation As well as the nature trail, this park xis a popular ~~picnicking location for Winter Springs' residents.- Cross- Seminole Trail, a heavily used trail is discussed in further detail in the Recreation and Open Space Element. This 6-mile link of the regional trail network extends from Layer Elementary School to the Oviedo City Limits and connects many of the City's parks and schools with the Winter Springs Town Center and the regional trail network. The City as numerous .. parks and recreational areas which are detailed in the Recreation and Open Space Element. I V-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN c. Conservation Conservation uses are defined by the Department of Community Affairs as being "activities or conditions within land areas designated for the purpose of conserving or protecting natural resources or environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, flood plain management, commercially or recreationally valuable fish and shellfish, or protection of vegetative communities or wildlife habitats." Lake Jesup is one area, in particular, that should be preserved from the damaging effects of urbanization. Lake Jesup is a hydrologically complex system with a large urbanized watershed. Not only does the land surrounding Lake Jesup provide public recreational opportunities, but the marshes that are a part of those lands help to maintain animal habitat, improve water quality, and also allow for the storage of large volumes of water during rainy periods, thus providing flood protection for surrounding communities. However, decades of wastewater effluent discharges directly into the lake, stormwater discharges from surrounding tributaries, the construction of berms that segregated the lake from parts of its flood_plain, and a causeway that reduced the lake's connection with the St. Johns River have all taken a toll on the sensitive ecosystem. The discharges have left a legacy of algae, frequent fish kills, and a thick layer of muck more than 9 1 ~2 feet deep. The berm constructions further aggravated the problem by inhibiting the lake's ability to cleanse itself. ~~ The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) have worked together and endorsed implementation of strategies to address the excessive external nutrient loading and in-lake nutrient concentration components. The 2008 Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy outlines a strategy designed to meet restoration goals, provides a timetable for implementation, specifies agencX responsibilities, and identifies specific restoration milestones to be used to trigger implementation of additional work as necessary This seven step strategy outlined in the document is divided into two phases and includes: V-17 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Phase 1 1 . Develop the Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP1 2. Reduce external nutrient loads 3. Reduce nutrients in the lake water column Phase 2, implemented as necessary 4. Implement projects to further improve water clarity 5 Implement projects to increase native vegetation and control exotic species 6 Implement proLcts to establish healthy fish and wildlife habitat and populations Throughout the Restoration Process 7. Monitor water quality Phase 1 activities are required and will be coordinated by FDEP and SJRWMD staff. Phase 2 activities will be implemented as needed based on Phase 1 outcomes Monitoring is planned to occur throughout the process to evaluate specific projects and the overall success of the restoration strategy. The Restoration Strategy aims to enhance Lake Jesup to meet Class III water quality standards and support healthy, fish and wildlife habitats and populations. Source: The Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy report from January 2008 d. Protection of Ground Water The City ~~} `.~;-~~-draws its public supply of water from the ~u~Floridan aquifer. The City's most effective aquifer recharge areas are generally high, dry uplands with permeable soils and poor surface drainage;. These are areas that are typically well suited for land development. Within the Winter Springs area, theme Floridan aquifer receives moderate recharge in the central portion of the City and considerablyhigher recharge in the southwest portion of the City. As the upper zone is recharged, some leakage occurs, replenishing the lower zone as well. ~:_~;,~A map detailing the areas of greatest recharge is included in the Aquifer Recharge Element~ex~. Great care should be taken to protect areas of groundwater recharge since development can compromise water quality. The City has three interconnected water treatment plants and -fight public water wells, which supply the entire e~C v The potential for hazardous waste or pollutant contamination of the wells is greatly reduced by the fact that they are located within residential areas. To ensure that wellheads are exempt from contamination;, the City adheres to all FDEP standards pertaining to wellhead protection. At the present, the City is not aware of any risk of contamination from hazardous waste or other groundwater pollutants. • V-18 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 12. Potential for Conservation, Use or Protection of Natural Resources a. Conservation ""~~~,-~T1ni~n;;The wetlands, surface water, ground water, and mother natural resources which have been detailed within this Element; are all worthy of being conserved. The future existence and integrity of these resources depends on the actions we, as citizens, take today. To assist in the conservation of natural resources, the City's Code of Ordinances should more strictly govern development. Specifically, wetlands should be protected through mitigation and transfers of density within a site from wetland areas to upland areas and, surface waters should be protected through drainage enhancements as identified within the Drainage Sub-Element of this Plan. An estimated 25 percent of the potable water supply is used for irrigation purposes Rrealizing this the City e€ perates a reuse water reclamation system with J~11,720 residential customers, gone golf ee~;course, the Ci Y'S parks, and public rights of way. Voluntary residential and commercial water conservation will be achieved through the City's participation in water conservation efforts of the St. Johns River Water Management District. These efforts include brochures kept in the City's public building, notices on water l~bills, and expansion of the reclaimed water system. The City's Code of Ordinances will require the installation of water-saving plumbing devices including low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucets within new developments. b. Use The uses of natural resources, whether for commercial or recreational purposes have been discussed previously within this Element. The Code of Ordinances should determine the extent to which natural resources may be used. c. Protection Protection of existing natural resources ~--is important. Three areas or resources merit special protection. These three areas include: • Wellhead fields, • 100_ year flood_plain, and • Wetlands. Wellhead fields should be protected to ensure that the potable water supply for the City is protected from contamination. As mentioned previously, the City adheres to wellhead protection provisions administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Map I-6 in the Future Land Use Element depicts the location of wellhead protection areas. The 100-year flood_plain needs to be protected to help mitigate the damaging effects of flooding. Protection of these areas is assisted through the National Flood Insurance Program and le~eal•The City's Code of Ordinances. Wetlands protection has become an important issue to Florida residents. The protection of wetlands helps to ensure that Florida ground and surface waters V-19 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN remain environmentally intact, as well as preserving habitat for numerous species dependent on wetlands to survive. . . .Winter Springs requires a 25' minimum upland buffer. These three natural resources are by no means the only ones to be protected Development within areas determined to be ecoloaically sensitive requires additional analysis reports to be filed by the developer so that City staff can ascertain the significance of the proposed impact 13. Water Needs a. Potable Water Sources • The City ~te~gs-receives its potable water supply from the Floridan aquifer, within the Middle St. Johns (MSJ) groundwater basin. The natural quality of groundwater in this basin varies greatly depending on the location and the depth from which water is obtained. A major concern in this basin is saltwater intrusion in Seminole County. Although the County is located inland from sea, there are some patches of connate saltwater in the Floridan aquifer. The potable water in the aquifer is underlain by denser saline water. The potential exists for this saline water to migrate upward within the aquifer system in response to declines in the potentiometric surface. However, Winter Springs is located outside the areas in Seminole County that have chloride and sulfate concentrations of equal or greater than 250 mg/I. The FDEP has set a recommended limit of 250mg/I of chloride and sulfate for public water supplies. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Floridan aquifer underlying Winter Springs is of good water quality. Consequently, only aeration and chlorination treatment are required to provide the City with potable water. The City's water system consists of three water treatment plants, which serve approximately ~-X312,500 equivalent connections. Water is supplied to the three plants by weight potable water wells and the entire system is permitted to ----treat a maximum of 1 2 million gallons per day. b. Potable Water Demand Future water demand based on population projections is included within the Potable Water Sub-Element. c. Reclaimed Water Demand Future demand for reclaimed water and plans to expand the City's reclaimed water proaram is included within the Potable Water Sub-Element V-20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Fd. Agricultural Water Demand Agricultural land uses within the City are minimal. Agricultural operations that utilize the City's potable water facilities are nonexistent, as are agricultural users that employ water from surface waters or from wells that require SJRWMD consumptive use permits. Due to the increasingly urbanized nature of Winter Springs, the City's .. Future Land Use Mag does not include an agricultural future land use designation. Vie. Industrial Water Demand Industrial water demand, including reclaimed uses, has been expressed within the Potable Water Sub-Element of this Comprehensive Plan. •.

Community Parks • Community parks are defined as "ride to" parks that should be located near major streets or arterials. Community parks are designed to serve the needs of four to six neighborhoods that have residents within a radius of up to three (3) miles. Typical facilities found in community parks are designed to server;=mot €arr~all ages and may include both passive and active recreation opportunities such as playground areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved multipurpose courts, picnic areas, open or free play areas, swimming pools, and landscaping.

Some parks may fall under more than one category. Most County parks are considered community parks, but those that host national competitions and tournaments can easily be classified as regional parks. Central Winds Park, --~-I-~i~~-~~ located on Lake Jesup, for instance, has been classified as a community park, due to its geographic area ~~` era-and the type of recreational facilities and activities offered. However, numerous civic festivals and special events are held in the park, drawing citizens from all over Seminole County and the Central Florida area. For this reason, Central Winds Park has been locally considered a regional park. This park offers competition quality baseball, softball, and soccer fields, which are reserved for league-play only, as well as basketball courts, volleyball courts, horseshoes, playground, concession stand, the City's Parks 8~ Recreation Office, and restrooms. Additionally, a passive area located on the west side includes a fishing area, pavilions, picnic grills, and an amphitheatre. A recent expansion to the park added additional baseball, softball, and soccer/football fields, as well as lacrosse fields and a dog park with large dog. small dog and training areas.

However its meaning herein (and throughout the Comprehensive Plan) is taken from Rule 9J-5 Florida Administrative Code and simply means, "undeveloped lands suitable for passive recreation or conservatioon,'_' Open space does not refer to land found in medians. buffers. or retention ar In Winter Springs, most of the .publicly-owned open space was convened to the City at the time of subdivision platting, as "parks" or "parkland" However, most of these areas are composed of undevelopable wetlands, such as the 69.5-acre Tuscawilla Open Space donation. Winding Hollow subdivision also includes a large 55-acre open space with only 5-acre in addition, available for active recreation. Not all open space or conservation areas within Winter Springs are owned by the City. Many are privately owned.

EXISTING AND FUTURE PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS Recreational demands do not remain constant over time~~, but grow with population increases and change as population demographics change. Attitudes and opinions can be drastically altered from a shift in the demographic makeup of a community. Therefore, it is necessary to assess recreational needs and future demands for facilities in order to plan for the future. 3~ 1. Population Trends and User Needs The City's ~` `~~r`-i~ri-population is projected to increase by over ~-410,000 residents ~~ `'-~ ---~.-` ~---~~ -'~~--~•'~: by 2030. According to the ' ~~" ~~•' ~''~'"U.S. Census, the median age #~arincreased i" ~'~~'~.:~ •'•-~~•'•- from 34 to 37~-1~s from 1990 to 2000, and the percentage of persons aged 65 or older increased from 9.2% '•' ~~~n __.. ,n ,oi tH-?(141(~to 10.8% over the same time period. The proiected median age (US Censusl increased to 40 by 2007. This trend is expected to continue through the long-term planning period. The City is well prepared to serve an agina population During 2007, the City completed a 9,200 square foot expansion of the Senior Center which added a new therapy pool along with a large multi-purpose room s4s a~es~However. the City should continue to add ~'~~ ~ - ~i~ foa:~• " •~- recreational facilities r~ and programs which address the changing demographics of the City, while continuing to support a wide variety of programs to serve all of its residents To accurately reflect changes in public demand, tools are needed to identify them. One method is to survey the citizens for their input. The City has conducted several informal surveys, many of which have not been documented. 'I~~---~--~°, .~•-A Cit ~ ~ ' Y ~e~t~ik-wide survey was conducted in 11990-t-1~t. It questioned residents about the recreational activities they practiced on a regular basis. The results showed that, at that time, residents wanted more playgrounds, baseball fields, swimming pools, bike paths, and tennis courts. Since that time, the City has added VI-30 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT . numerous playgrounds and baseball fields, and the State has added the Cross Seminole Trail. This type of survey should be conducted regularly on a five-year basis to maintain consistency and to monitor progress and changing demands. An opinion survey of registered voters was completed in 2004_, to explore interest and support for amulti-purpose athletic facility and an aquatic center. The sugport was greatest for the multi-purpose athletic center with 44 percent of those surveyed in support of such a facility even if it increased property taxes, 21 percent opposed and 35 percent reauirinq more information. Support dropped slightly (40 percent) and opposition increased (32 percent) for an aquatic center. Support fell further (36 percent) to a level nearly equal with opposition (35 percent) when respondents were asked if then would support both facilities with a combined tax increase necessary to support both facilities. 2. Outdoor Recreation Plannina Guidelines Three types of auidelines are commonly used in outdoor recreation Plannina accordina to • Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (2007). The first type, use guidelines. are employed as a means of statina the amount of use a resource or facility can accommodate under certain conditions. The second type, population guidelines, are used in determinina the amount of resources and facilities that are required to serve a given population. The third type, site guidelines, are used primarily for estimating acreage needs for local parks and recreation areas and open space. Many variations exist in outdoor recreation environments. Therefore, each jurisdiction must determine for its planning~urposes how these auidelines will best serve their interests and in most cases develop their own guidelines. The~se_ auidelines for user-oriented outdoor recreation activities included herein were derived from the 1989 Recreation Standards for Comprehensive Plannina in Florida. The study examined what was considered the minimum, moderate and maximum levels of use that facilities could sustain under various conditions according to over 100 local recreation providers. Table VI-4 identifies the median value of the survey results for nine user- oriented facilities for which information on use was collected. • Table VI - 4: Use Guidelines for User-Oriented Recreation Activities, 2007 Activity Resourcef Facility Guideline Baseball/Softball Basketball Football,~Soccer~Rugbv Golf Baseball/Softball Field Basketball Court Football/Soccer Field Golf Course (9-holed 120 users Per field per day 90 users per court per dax 175 users per field ep r dax 200 users per 9-hole course per daX Physical exercise (urban Linear mile of 100 users per mile of trail per day jogging and hikinal Racauetball/Handball exercise/parcours trail Racauetball/Handball Court 40 users per court ep r daX VI-31 C r~ ~~ :7 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Activity Resource/Facility Guideline Shuffleboard Shuffleboard Court 20 users per court per daY wimmm Swimming Pool (~ 256 users er Wiper day Tennis Tennis Court 30 users per court ep r day Source: Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (2007L Population guidelines are hypothetical estimates of the amounts of outdoor recreation resources and facilities that are reauired to support a given population Generally population auidelines make no distinction between the varying requirements of different segments of the population, but are used to assess community recreational needs determining the minimum number of resources and facilities reauired to serve the local population.

Levels of Service (LOS) Standards Level of Service (LOS) standards are a measure for determining the specific types and amounts or acreage of parkland necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of a local jurisdiction. Winter Springs has historically defined its LOS based on acreage per 1000 residents. To better reflect the growing needs of the City for parkland, and in support of the desire for increased greenspace as further discussed under the major issue of "Population, Density and Greenspace" (2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report), Winter Springs will increase the Overall Parkland LOS acreage from 5 acres per 1,000 residents to 8 acres per 1,000 residents. AdditionallX, a LOS for Open Space has been implemented. This LOS has been set at 4 acres per 1,000 residents to encourage the provision of public open space in Winter Springs. Table VI-1 illustrates the existingpark and open space acreage through 2030 based on LOS standards. 4. Error! Reference source not found.Error!

VI-43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT . , . , > > ~_ ..,. --~~__: H~eee ssza~ee~e~~iet~Rl-Si-tomes All of the Citesparks provide parkins for persons with disabilities and most provide paved paths and pavilions that are wheelchair accessible. Special considerations will need to be addressed on a site- by-site basis, for deficiencies in the special access needs of these groups. For example, while people with disabilities are provided parking areas at most of the parks, and wheelchair accessibility is provided in many, internal access to facilities is still limited in a few of the City's parks. .. ..,..~ ... ~_.....~.~~.., ; ...~ _ Consideration to these access issues will need to be given at the time of new park development. According to the ADA, an important aspect of accessibility to be considered when constructing new parks or altering existing parks, is the issue of stable ground surfacing, which allows a person with mobility impairment to negotiate with dignity. For example, a large area of loose fill such as sand or wood chips is not easily accessible. Rather, a design following ADA guidelines might use a combination of more rigid surfaces such as an engineered wood fiber, rubber surfaces along accessible routes, clear ground spaces, and maneuvering spaces, in conjunction with small areas of loose fill. s VI-44 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Per ADA standards, consideration should be given to the general layout of youth play areas, particularly to the integration of elements and spaces that can be accessed by children who are d}€€e~e~~~eddisabled. Specifically, in areas where elevated play components are provided, additional ground level play equipment must be provided and incorporated into the same play areas. Additionally, the ADA requires that at least 50% of elevated play components must be located on an accessible route and connected by a ramp. The inclusion of soft contained play structures would also provide recreational opportunities for children with disabilities. The existing system of neighborhood and passive parks affords access to cyclists and pedestrians, as the parks are numerous and dispersed in residential areas throughout the City. Bicycle path facilities ~Ishould continue to be designed so as to join recreational areas together with residential areas to upgrade the accessibility for all citizens to recreation areas. Access issues will be addressed specifically within the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Element. 5. Meetins~ Future Recreation and Open Space Needs As illustrated on Table VI-1, the City does not expect to have any Overall Parkland deficiencies through 2030. The addition of Seminole County's planned Jetta Point Park (37 acres in Winter Springsl will further increase the surplus of Overall Parkland. A slight deficiency is projected in Open Space. However, with the conveyance of Wetland Park in the Town Center, this deficiency will be eliminated. An important action needed by the City in the immediate future is the planning of a City trail system to interconnect with the Cross Seminole Trail. The City currently owns a portion of FP8~L easement which could be the beginnings of this network. In order to accomplish this, several policies relating to trails have been added to the element, as well as a new objective in support of this effort. 6. Public Participation in Recreation Planning The City has provided numerous opportunities for citizen input into the recreational planning of the City. The Parks and Recreation Department has held a number of public meetings, during which time, citizens were able to contribute their ideas and make requests for future recreational opportunities. _ , ~~~e~ An ad hoc advisory committee helped develop the Central Winds Expansion Master Plan. For improvements at Trotwood, neighborhoods were notified and input was reauested door to door. Similar outreach has been conducted for Torcaso Park, with a Master Plan process initiated in September 2008. As noted above, the City will continue to conduct periodic surveys to identify future activity-based recreational preferences. That survey will need to identify not only preferences in terms of fields and courts, but also whether City residents would be willing to pay user fees for improved amenities, etc. • VI-45 w V Q d N Z w 0 z Q Z F- Q W V W i~ N Z Z ~ J d ~ N W W H N ZZ W W I- ~ Z O O W U U w Y c ~ \ ~;~~Y ~' ._,c I' i~ Y ' ~' I _. ,V„= ` ' l F ~ c ~' ~ r ~ a Ir- ~ ~~~ . ~~ .. ~ y ~~., . _.~ _..,_. u i... . µ ,_ i ~ i ~ :~+~+y.r ~ . y ?~ ` ~ l a' ~ ~,i .. ..~ ~ ~4 '~ e ~__._. .~ne~" --~ a i-. ~ J r ~~:;i~ /rin ~.

The City c~€ ``°~~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 same 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.

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 t~~41~~fdoes 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 ~r `~~ `~~ S~ir~s-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 Concurrency 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 Aamended 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 2008.12007 ILA, SYections 163.3177(12) and 163.3180 F.S. and Rule 9J-5.025, F.A.C. and which describes aproportionate-share mitigation methodology. Additional amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan required by the 2005 legislation include: • Adoption of the Level of Service L( OSLstandards applicable countywide 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 ~~r~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.

' s` V_ N ~I CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT D_ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1. Identifying Sites for Future School Facilities 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~-ter-leeeE 290, 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 fhe 2007 IL A 2. Population and Student Projections In accordance with the 2007 ILA the Citv aAfi~te~-S-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 e#~A/~rte~ S~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. I~VII-30 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 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 Aagreements 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. • • 1~V11-31 i• i• Intergovernmental Coordination Element EAR-Based Amendments, May 2009 • Entire Paae Struck ,. t nn ir,.,.a, n..t„~a,. n,. ~..,,o c,,:+o Inc ~~ J C-TY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS n ~,TTDllT1TT!`TTlIT~T - n ~~~~1•~~1~'~~~~$zT__T~~~6~pd~~~6,A~~~~pl:~-,4~~d r~nnDT~T~TATTn~T 1-d !` r A ATT 1-dC i T.7 ............................................................................................................. a i-na~e&~ ........................................................................................................ ..

INTRODUCTION The Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act requires Carat-local comprehensive plans to be consistent with the goals of the restate and ~'°~~~~•~~' n,_';~., uln~regional policYplans. Local governments need to provide for this consistency in the goals, objectives, and policies of their comprehensive plans. The .' itv~s interpretation of the legislative intent of the consistency requirement is to provide for all comprehensive plans, adopted locally, to coordinate into a statewide framework for "growth management." One tool that the Act mandated to meet this legislative intent was for ~-local comprehensive plans to adopt an Intergovernmental Coordination Element. In order to provide for this consistency, coordination among restate, regional, and local governments and agencies is essential._ This coordination provides not only the method for the plans to be consistent, but also allows for more efficient delivery of services to the City residents. Mechanisms to meet this consistency requirement include, but are not limited to: •_Intergovernmental agreements; •_Joint planning and service agreements; •_Special legislation; •_Joint meetings, public hearings; and, •_Work groups or governmental programs designed to further intergovernmental coordination. In addition, t~~e-~(;~-this Element can act as a catalyst for the smooth operation of the rest of the plan elements. By defining and creating tests of consistency within i;~crthis Element, deficiencies within and among elements can be identified for the purpose of correcting them. This Element can also be used as a mechanism to provide direction to the City for future implementation of n.a~°~'~a~ r~federal, state, and regional programs, grants and assistance. Numerous government programs exist which can be used by the City in the implementation of der-the City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, these programs can be used to meet the growing demands of the population growth on the City's services and public infrastructur , ~-C. INVENTORY OF EXISTING INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS 1. Local The City Frf-~=i~~E~~~has caused intergovernmental cooperation to further its coordination efforts with the following local agencies: a. Seminole County School Board (School Board) _ _ , _ Historically, Chapter 163 Florida Statutes (F.S.), the law governing local comprehensive planning, did not include school facility planning. Seminole County, the School Board,, and the cities initiated major efforts toward achieving coordination of land use and school facility planning with the adoption of an V41-VIII-9 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT Interlocal Agreement in 1997. The Agreement created a framework for notification of proposed land use actions and a staff working committee called the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC). By 1999, in accordance with amendments to State Law, the County and cities had revised the Land Use Elements of their comprehensive plans to specify which land use designations allowed public schools as possible uses, and further refined processes to notify the School District and request comments on potential land development. Seminole County and the cities within the County recognize the benefits of providing adequate public school facilities to their citizens and students in a timely manner. Because of the importance of the school system to the future of Seminole County, coordinated school planning among the County, the School 13i~Board and the seven cities continues to be understood as critical to ensure that public school capacity needs are met. To further the goal of coordination, the .' School Board, the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners and governing bodies of seven cities adopted the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School concurrency As Amended January 2008}.J2007 ILA1 that addressed coordination of public school facility and comprehensive land use planning. The County and cities also each adopted a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) pinto their respective comprehensive plans. The PSFEs are compatible, establish countywide Levels of Service (LOS), and identify procedures for the district-wide school concurrency management process. The process for developing both the 2007 ILA and the PSFEs involved the PTAC~u which indudedefx~~}€ staff representing each of the signatories `~ `'-~ T~`~°'~~-' r~~reerr~e~r~. During 2006 and 2007, the PTAC developed recommendations for coordination of land use and school facilities planning as the basis for the 2007 .ILA. The PTAC also reviewed drafts of a model PSFE for use by all involved. As directed by the 2007 ILA, PTAC will meet a minimum of twice annually to discuss population and student projections, development trends, school needs, co-location and joint use opportunities, infrastructure improvements needed to support schools and safe student access, the School Board Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and school concurrency processes. The shared use and co-location opportunities identified in the 2007 ILA include park and recreational facilities, libraries community centers, auditoriums, performing art centers stadiums learning centers, museums and governmental facilities. In addition to the PTAC, the 2007 Tom...°'_~~-'_ _'_a~~~--~~~ILA created the Public School Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC), which will review the recommendations of PTAC and present recommendations to the School Board. This committee will serve as a standing committee to review the School Board Capital Improvement Plan, and will meet jointly with the School Board annually. The membership of this committee will include elected officials or their designees, and will further the process of ensuring coordination of land use and school facility ~N-VII I-10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT planning. Amendments to Section 163.3180, Florida Statutes (F.S.) enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature mandated a comprehensive focus on school planning and required local governments and school boards to adopt district-wide school concurrency systems. School concurrency ensures coordination between local governments and school boards in planning and permitting developments that affect school capacity and utilization rates. b. Seminole County The City~~~~~~ and Seminole County have several existing interlocal mechanisms to provide for efficient delivery of services to the citizens of the City and County. These mechanisms are: • ~xt~The Intergovernmental Planning Coordination Agreement {-{~l~j-~l~ agreet~errtof 1997 provides for City representation on the l~r~ PTAC} and for notification of land use changes adjacent to County and/or City boundaries, including other municipalities within Seminole County. The intent of the agreement is to provide for City input into the standards for development and land use changes that will impact City services, land use, and quality of life. • 91 1 Emergency System provides for an interlocal agreement with the City -~~ `~~rtr-to participate in the County 91 1 emergency system. This • resolution also provides for the County to assign addresses for a consistent addressing system within the City and County. • Agreement for the distribution of local option gas tax revenues. • Seminole County Service-Annexation Interlocal Agreement of 1987- An interlocal agreement (19871 with Seminole County for the provision of essential governmental services by the City in enclave areas. • An interlocal agreement for the provision of reciprocal emergency service responses. • An interlocal agreement for the consolidation of the Winter Springs and Seminole County Fire Departments under the authority of Seminole County. • An interlocal agreement for the collection and distribution of transportation impact fees and other transportation related issues. • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Pursuant to the 1=1-E313 United States Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD application, the County shall undertake certain activities to develop a viable community, including an improved quality of life, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The City shall provide professional construction administration services for infrastructure improvements within "'~ ,the City to benefit low and moderate income residents. • ~-VIII-1 1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT • An agreement to participate in the U.S. l~llz~rtr-17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (17-92 CRA). The >?~. ~ l~~r 17-92 CRA establishes a tax increment finance district to fund redevelopment projects along the County's major north/south arterial. Portions of the i3~yarterial and taxable properties are within the City limits ..t`~ ~= • An interlocal agreement for the regional coordination of water supply planning between the local Governments within Seminole County. c. Other Local Agencies Several agencies exist in Seminole County that provide services and support to the citizens of the City-Frf~''~ .: These agencies are: • Economic Development Council (EDC) -The (-;~r~+~iIEDC is a nonprofit organization that was created to enhance, support, and promote economic development within Central Florida and Seminole County. • Tourist Development Council (TDC) - ~er~e~The TDC acts to promote Seminole County as a tourist destination._ The Council is funded by a t-l~eefive percent (~~5~ "tourist" tax on hotel/motel rooms in the County. This amount was recently increased. Two percent (2%) of these monies has been allocated for the development of Jetta Point County Park. No monies are received from local governments._ The City is able to receive funding from this Council to provide for tourist related activities and infrastructure ~ which increase hotel motel usa a in Seminole County a~--t13e-£~~ ~3 ~ Funding reauests are approved bx the Seminole County Board of Commissioners. • ~~LYNX. the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority's mass transit bus service, }~°~~--~tiperates two routes adjacent to the Cites These include a route with service along the U.S. 1-17-92 ~r~e ~ orridor and a route serving Oviedo Marketplace. There is no interlocal service agreement with this agency and the City does not currently contribute to LYNX bus service-; there is an interlocal agreement between LYNX and Seminole County addressing fixed route bus and ADA paratransit service within the County. Anew east-west route connecting from Oviedo Marketplace to northwest Orlando following S.R. 434 through the City is scheduled to begin as a demonstration project in 2009. • The Department of Children and Families provides a number of services, including the licensing of group homes, child care, foster care services, and mental health and substance abuse counseling and services and the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities also provides licensing for group homes for handicapped persons. • The Seminole County Health Department regulates and monitors the following: on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems, public swimming pools, drinking water, institutional food service, bodespiercing, biomedical ~N-VIII -12 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT • waste tanning, group care facilities mobile home and recreational vehicle parks sanita~ nuisances restaurant sanitation, and arbovirus surveillance j_sentinel chickens). The Health Department also works with the Center for Disease Control through its public health programs. • The Seminole County Animal Services addresses stray and nuisance animal complaints within the City as well as in unincorporated Seminole County. • The Seminole Countx Cooperative Extension Service provides family and consumer science home horticulture, master gardener, and commercial agriculture assistance and services. They work closely with the University of Florida's IFAS extension. • The Seminole County Soil and Water Conservation District is involved in a number of environmental endeavors including establishment of a fertilizer- reuse outreach campaign to reduce pollutant loading into surface waters in conjunction with the FDEP. 2. Regional • On a regional basis, the City continues to participate in numerous committees sponsored by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council.-ECFRPC). This participation is noted in the inventory section of this Element. This representation has growing importance in the future growth and coordination of the City in regional issues. As the Orlando Urban Area continues to expand, there is stronger influence from the resulting growth =related pressures on the City ~~r~~~zre~. Regional growth will have a definite impact on the City's growth - ''~ nd~ its infrastructure and delivery of municipal services and will need to be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the City benefits from the regional resources provided by the St. John's River Water Management District. The mechanisms for coordination and input regarding these regional issues are as follows: a. East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPCI The ECFRPC is the regional planning agency responsible for the implementation of powers and duties,. pursuant to Chapter 186, F.S., for Seminole County and the City _ The ECFRPC, located in Maitland, Florida, also has regional planning jurisdiction in the Counties of Volusia, Orange, Lake, Osceola and Brevard. The ~~~i=r=~~-ECFRPC is the agency responsible for the development and implementation of the Regional Policy Plan. _The ECFRPC has the responsibility, pursuant to Ce~Section 163.3184. F.S., to review local comprehensive ~~ ,i.,, ,.~....,._.,. ,.r ~~.,.plan amendments related to their relationship and effect e#=t}3e n the Regional Policy Plan. As such, the ECFRPC may submit recommendations to the State requesting modifications ~x--t~ie~aeal--~x-~. • X41-VIII-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT Pursuant to erSection 380.06 F.S., the ~ ECFRPC also has the authority to regulate Developments of Regional Impact (DRI). DRI are developments that have a substantial effect on the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life of citizens in more than one ~~=,.ounty. The ECFRPC has the authority to ensure that these developments are consistent with accepted '~~--~~' ~~` : ~~-~-~~°LOS standards and the Regional Policy Plan, and the ~ECFRPC~s recommendations are incorporated in any development orders for the DRI. The ~:~. ..r~v~ c.. ~.o,~ ~t,~ r-~ :, ..swL;' a~ ~., ,w~, C~~.....: ,. r,.n..__.... ~, Mayor currently serves as a member of the ~ .ECFRPC on behalf of the Seminole County League of Cities. The purpose of the membership is to provide policy direction and manage regional policy issues to fulfill the ~x1• ~rr~-i~-ECFRPCs powers and duties. b. METROPLAN ORLANDO METROPLAN ORLANDO is the metropolitan planning organization for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties - the Orlando Urban Area. METROPLAN ORLANDO provides the forum for local elected officials and transportation experts to work together to improve mobility for Central Florida residents, businesses and visitors. METROPLAN ORLANDO produces a variety of plans and programs designed to guide the transportation planning process in Central Florida including a Long Range Transportation Plan and the Five-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), as well as bicycle and pedestrian plans for the region. The City is represented in the activities of METROPLAN ORLANDO through participation in two committees, as follows: • The Mayor or his designee serves as a member of the METROPLAN ORLANDO Municipal Advisory Committee. The purpose of the committee is to provide a forum for incorporating the views of the mayors of the cities and towns that do not have representatives on the Board into the transportation policy development and decision-making process. Due to the limited number of seats on the METROPLAN ORLANDO Board, only the most populated cities in the three county area are represented on the Board. • One City staff member serves on the "`~`°~"'~•- r`°'°~~'~'_ METROPLAN ORLANDO Transportation Technical Committee. This committee reviews regional transportation plans and provides policy direction for transportation issues in Seminole, Orange, and ~eOsceola Counties. Using input from the Transportation Technical Committee, ,- n urban area transportation study is developed, and ubsequently the TIP} is developed and adopted. ~FN-VIII-14 • CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT c. St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Created in a-9-41972, the SJRWMD is responsible for flood control and water conservation in the St. Johns River region. The City '' •~ his within the jurisdiction of the SJRWMD. This authority has regulatory control over all water based resources within its jurisdiction. The 13i:,~e-tSJRWMD has the following responsibilities: • Permitting of consumptive use of water; • Regulation of wells; • Management and storage of surface water; and; •_Water storage. All new developments and utility services may be required to obtain a permit from the SJRWMD, prior to the issuance of a development order.

The Public Works Department is the principal liaison in these reviews. The SJRWMD is also a primary reviewer of local comprehensive plan amendments and as such, conveys their comments to the Community Development Department- Planning Division. The City coordinates SJRWMD regarding a variety of water resources-related issues including wetlands permitting, stormwater management, Lake Jesup restoration, creation and maintenance of conservation areas, and regional projects One regional stormwater project in the City is the Solary Canal project located at the northeast corner of the City on the east side of DeLeon St. Solary Canal is a stormwater treatment facility that will consist of a wet detention pond and wetland treatment area. The project will intercept and treat stormwater from "Sweetwater Creek," which collects stormwater runoff primarily from properties within the City of Oviedo. Water Supply Planning and Coordination Subsection 163.3191(2~(L) F.S. requires coordination between water supply planning and future land use planning in order to ensure an adeauate supply of water to support future development. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop • ~N-VIII-15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT a county-wide water supply plan (County Plan) The City's Water Supply Work Plan must be coordinated with the County Plan, as well as with the SJRWMD District Water Supply 2005 and 2006 Addendum and the ECFRPC Strategic Regional Policy Plan 1998. The County Plan was completed in 2007; the City's Water Supply Work Plan was also updated in 2007. These plans identified a number of projects including a recommendation to proceed with the design of the Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation Proiect and to negotiate with adjacent cities to partner in the project. Information on the status of the City's design and development plans for the facility are presented in the Infrastructure Element. In addition, the City will participate in the joint planning process for the St. John's River Regional Surface Water Supply Plant at S.R. 46. 3. State State agencies such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; FWCC and the Department of Environmental Protection D( EPLare instrumental in helping the City ~~ `o-~~zn;-~~s,~-rte meet the goals, objectives and policies of the City's Conservation, Recreation and Open Space, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Elements. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is the agency charged with the administration of the Comprehensive Plan and the determination of compliance of local plans with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). In addition, the DCA and the Department of Children and Families DCF can aid in the implementation of the City's Housing Element. The ~ DEP will monitor and approve all policies respective to the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element. The ~x~eDCA provides direction regarding the Future Land Use Element and the ability of the City's Comprehensive Plan to provide for an efficient and effective economic base for State and local growth.- The effectiveness of the City's Transportation Element will be affected greatly by the actions and policies of the Florida Department of Transportation.- F( DOTL• The actions of the rstate legislature will also impact the effectiveness of the City's Comprehensive Plan; specifically, future funding needs of the State of Florida. Coordination and cooperation between the =~atestate and local governments is necessary to ensure public policy efficiency and to address the economic implications of public policy funding issues. .. Funding is extremely critical for smaller, rapidly growing communities- especially in the current economic environment. In order for the City e€ '' to effectively meet the requirements of Chapter 163, and other estate- mandated policies, future gestate funding resources will continue to be critical in providing a safe and livable community. a. Department of Community_Affairs (DCA) DCA} is the primary gestate agency responsible for review of local comprehensive plans and land use map amendments. The Community Development Department -Planning Division is the ~N-VIII-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT principal liaison with DCA to ensure local compliance with the comprehensive planning statute (Chapter 163, F.S.) and administrative rule (9J-5, F.A.C.). •T~DCA also provides technical assistance and administers grant programs available to local governments.

DHR is also a primary reviewer of local comprehensive plan amendments for their impact on historical and archaeological resources. and as such, conveys their comments to the Community Development Department -Planning Division. 4. Federal Although ftec~erAifederal intergovernmental coordination is not required to meet the requirements of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., the City ~"'~ must address e~ifederal regulations and programs to ensure the most effective implementation of comprehensive plan objectives and policies. For example, the need to analyze and review legal constitutional issues regarding property rights continues to be important during the review and development of the goals, objectives and policies of the Future Land Use and Capital Improvement Elements, and in the creation and administration of land development regulations and associated ordinances and codes. Environmental regulations can affect the implementation of the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge elements and costs of system expansions. In addition, numerous ~lfederal programs are available to possibly aid the City e€ `=~L-~-in implementing the Comprehensive Plan, including, but not limited to;~e X41-VIII-19 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT programs that address low-income housing, improvements in waste disposal and ~~ . nvironmental protection. A majority of these programs are administered by the Stat~ ~~` ~''~~~-'°, but an understanding of their purpose is important to their implementation and inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. a. U.S. Environmental Protection Agencx (EPA) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program in two phases Phase I,~promulgated in 1990 addresses municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) located in incorporated places and counties with populations of 100 000 or more, such as Seminole County. Phase II, promulgated in 1999, addresses additional sources, including MS4s not regulated under Phase I, and small construction activity disturbing between 1 and 5 acres. In October 2000, EPA authorized the FDEP to implement the NPDES stormwater permitting program in the State of Florida (in all areas except Indian Country lands). FDEP's authority to administer the NPDES program is set forth in Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The NPDES stormwater program regulates point source discharges of stormwater into surface waters of the State of Florida from certain municipal, industrial and construction activities. As the NPDES stormwater permitting authority, FDEP is responsible for promulgating rules and issuing permits, managing and reviewingpermit applications, and performing compliance and enforcement activities. In Seminole County, the County and the seven incorporated cities including the City are listed as co-permittees under one NPDES permit. The City coordinates closely with Seminole County and the other cities regarding the implementation of the NPDES permit. The Utility Department is the office responsible for coordination with the EPA. ~~~=~~ b. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) The Public Works Department is the primary liaison with the USDA. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCSI assists in relieving hazards created by natural disasters that cause a sudden impairment of a watershed. Aid for the installation of emergency watershed protection measures to relieve hazards and damages to the watershed were provided to the City after the 2004 hurricanes and 2007 tornadoes. c. TT..:~,..7 C~,.~,.~ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers DOE) The City coordinates with the ACOE regarding the maintenance and use of Lake Jesup. The ~-EerpsACOE has a local office in Jacksonville. The City Manager's office will continue to be the liaison to the ACOE. ~N-VIII-20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT d. U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) The City coordinates with HUD and the Florida DCA on projects pertaining to the provision of housing to low and moderate-income residents and regularly receives Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) grant funds through interlocal agreements with Seminole Countx pursuant to HUD requirements. e. U.S. Flood and Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) The City coordinates with FEMA primarily in the areas of disaster assistance and floodplain management. There are three categories of disaster assistance: Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation. The scope of disaster assistance available from FEMA depends on the nature and severity of the event. FEMA disaster assistance has historically been available after severe storm events including hurricanes and tropical storms. The Cityparticipates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), administered FEMA. The three components of the NFIP are: Flood Insurance, Floodplain Management, and Flood Hazard Mapping. The Citrparticipates in the NFIP by adopting and enforcing floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. The City administers its FEMA responsibilities through the Stormwater Manager's role in the floodplain map, the City Engineer's role in requiring compensating storage for encroachment into the floodplain and prohibiting development in the floodway, and the Building Official requiring the finished floor of new buildings or additions to be at least 18 inches above the 100-year floodplain elevation, as well as emergency preparedness and response. Chapter 8 of the City Code addresses flood damage prevention and designates the City Manager as the City's Floodplain Administrator. His duties and responsibilities in that position relate to the City's involvement in emergency or disaster preparedness and response and the City's involvement in the National Flood Insurance Program. In exchange, the NFIP makes federally backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business owners in these communities. In addition to providing flood insurance and reducing flood damages through floodplain management regulations, the NFIP identifies and maps the Nation's floodplains. Mapping flood hazards creates broad-based awareness of the flood hazards and provides the data needed for floodplain management programs and to actuarially rate new construction for flood insurance. In September 2007, FEMA issued new Flood Insurance Rate Maps. (The previous map update was in 1995.) Chapter 8 of the City Code has been amended to be consistent with the new maps. Strict adherence to the National Flood Insurance Program criteria is important to flood insurance rates within a jurisdiction as well as protection of life and property. All new development including buildingpermits are reviewed for compliance with the City's floodplain management ordinances. X41-VIII-21 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT 5. Utilities a. Electric The City as an interlocal agreement with Florida Power Corporation (aka Progress Energy) to operate as the City's electric utility. Progress Energy is the installer of all streetlights. The Community Development Department- Urban Beautification Division works closely with Progress Energy in the implementation of these u~arades The Utility Department is the liaison with Progress Energy for burying utility lines. A Florida Power and Light (FP8~L) 1~-&-transmission line ~l~ret~easement cuts across the entire City The City has an interlocal agreement for installation of reclaimed water lines within the easement. Additional multi-use options for the easement such as a trail corridor will reauire a cooperative effort between both parties. b. Sanitary Sewer, Potable Water and Reclaimed Water The City~~~ieit~~~ri~ operates its own utility for the purpose of the delivery of potable water, the collection of sanitary sewer, and the operation of a water reuse program. Residential, commercial, and industrial users are served by both systems. The Utility Department operates and maintains both systems. Maps of the sanitary sewer service area, potable water service area and reclaimed water service areas are included in the corresponding Infrastructure Sub-elements. c. Telephone Land line telephone service is provided under franchise agreements with Sprint- United Telephone-Florida ~s-and Bellsouth. Numerous cellular providers service the City. A study completed in April 2006, identified the Tuscawilla area as having inadequate service. As a result, the City amended its ordinance and allowed a new stealth 150' unipole tower to be constructed on the Tuscawilla Golf and Country Club property. The new tower is designed to handle seven carriers. d.

This agreement was to expire on September 1 1, 2015; However, the recent adoption of the Consumer Choice Act (Chapter 610, Florida Statutes) has allowed cable and video providers to opt out of their local government agreements.

ANALYSIS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION 1. Intergovernmental Mechanism Opportunities and Problem Areas a. Local rn_.~• ~nn~ ~~. ni i ~ ~nnQi In 2005, the Florida legislature, recognizing the need for improved coordination between local governments and school boards, mandated a comprehensive approach to school planning. As a result, a coordinated effort was undertaken by the local jurisdictions of Seminole County and the Seminole County School Board, resulting in an updated interlocal agreement. ~ ' ~ '•, 'The 2007 ILA includes procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals and school planning. Additionally, a Public School Facilities Element was added to each local government's comprehensive plan that is consistent with those adopted by the other local governments. These tools will enable better coordination of public school facility planning with land use planning and development approvals. In January 2007, the City adopted Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.8.4 establishing an eastern annexation boundary for the City, at DeLeon Street. The intention of this policy was to protect the rural and environmentally sensitive Black Hammock area from future urbanization. Annexations by the City in this general area in the past had subsecLuently resulted in litigation and distrust for the City by both area residents, the City of Oviedo and Seminole County. By implementing an annexation boundary, the City gained an improved relationship, especially with Seminole County. Now that the City can no longer sprawl eastward, it will be more dependent upon infill development and the annexation of enclaves to provide growth opportunities. The City has had an agreement with Seminole County since 1987 relating to the annexation of enclaves: however, this agreement primarily addresses the provisions of essential governmental services by the City to enclave areas. Both ~N-VIII-23 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT the City of Longwood and the City of Altamonte Springs each have had an interlocal agreement with Seminole County since the mid 1990's which allow the involuntary annexation of enclaves which are ten acres or less, when there is a change in the parcel's ownership. During 2008, the Cit~Commission expressed interest in pursuing legal options available for eliminating enclaves, in furtherance of the public policy expressed under the annexation laws of Florida. As a result, a preliminary meeting was held between the City Manager and County Manager. The outcome of this meeting was an indication bX the County that they would be amenable to having_an agreement with the City that includes the same terms as the Longwood agreement, but likely would not support any variation to the terms of the Longwood agreement. Given that enclaves area potential source of conflict, the City should continue its efforts to work with Seminole County to amend the 1987 agreement to allow for the involuntary annexation of enclaves that are less than 10 acres. An area of concern for the City is the road capacity for S.R. 434, east of S.R. 417. The City has no jurisdiction over this segment of roadway and future development of the City's Greeneway Interchange District (aka SeminoleWAY) will likely have difficulty meeting transportation concurrencY. It will be important for the SeminoleWAY initiative to work with local jurisdictions and FDOT to address this obstacle. Interlocal agreements an resolve many conflicts that may otherwise arise between the City and other local governments and should continue to be pursued to the extent practicable. b. Reg iona I :The Ci_~has become an active member in programs and committees administered through the ECFRPC- by representation of both elected officials and staff. In °~'~'~~~~~, ~'~~~ ~~~,~ 2007, the Central Florida Joint Policy Framework Committee created a regional growth compact consisting of six (6) regional growth principles. These include: • Preserving open space, recreational areas. farmland, water resources and regionally significant natural areas: • Providing a variety of transportation choices: • Fostering distinct, attractive, and safe places to live; • Encouraging a diverse. globally competitive economy • Creating a range of obtainable housing opportunities and choices; and • Building communities with education, health care, and cultural amenities. These principles grew out of a visioning process conducted during 2006 and 2007. The process involved approximately 20,000 central Florida residents who were asked to answer the auestion "How Shall We Grow?" through a series of community meetings, presentations and surveys. X41-VIII-24 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT The product of this process. The Central Florida Regional Growth Vision represents a shared vision of the preferred method for directing the growth of the seven (7) county region that includes the City, between 2007 and 2050. By 2050, the population of the region is expected to more than double from 3.5 million to 7.2 million residents, thus necessitating development of a guiding vision. The Mayor has been ~}-an active participant in this process and has served on the Myregion.ora Board of Directors and currently participates in the Congress of Regional Leaders to promote the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision. The City will continue its involvement in development and implementation of The Central Florida Regional Growth Vision. In addition, the City will continue to actively_participate in METROPLAN ORLANDO and will include appropriate local road projects in ~3r-)xi3e~c->'4METROPLAN ORLANDO'S five-year transportation plan. As noted in the Introduction of this Element, rapid growth in the Orlando Urban Area continues to influence c~--the City's growth ._ This growing regional impact requires that the City exercise all of its options to ensure regional representation on policy decisions that will influence the growth of the City. ....,., ~ _....a:._,.~:__~Locally the City coordinates with the St. Johns River Water Management District ee~r ~~--~~ `~ '-~ ~~egtrcte~~r3e~jSJRWMD) in their review j±r~r~.~-eee~~t~~:, t~~pab zer~~kre~~t~et-~t~~l--~kja~=ate f development permitting applications This review ~ ~ .~ the SJRWMD generally takes six jb) weeks or longer depending upon the quality of the submittal and the proposed development's impact to wetlands.

Improved ~N-VIII-25 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT coordination with tl~-Be~FDEP has provided for special public works projects to be completed on time and in compliance with FDEP standards. While updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City has noted various infrastructure needs that will require continued coordination with State agencies. The City Fr€ has made substantial progress in coordination with the FDOT through the City's participation in the ~ ~ ': METROPLAN ORLANDO'S Transportation Improvement Program process, and the City's involvement in the public hearing process for the FDOT Improved Tentative Work Program. It is important that the City continue its involvement in the formal procedures noted above, as well as improving its informal working relationship with the FDOT.- Informal coordination includes Development of Regional Impact reviews and access management coordination. A continued working relationship with the FDOT will ensure timely consideration of needed state roadway improvements and improved traffic circulation within the city. Coordination with other gestate agencies has been acceptable and further analysis is not required. d. Federal Coordination with L'..~federal agencies has been acceptable. 2. Future Growth and Development and the Role of Intergovernmental Coordination In order to continue to avoid future conflicts between the City's Comprehensive Plan and the regional policy plan, the City will continue to utilize the regional policy plan and regional growth vision in evaluating the proposed growth and development when amending the City's Comprehensive Plan._ If a conflict arises, the City will coordinate with the :. _ ~ ~ ECFRPC and the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan Advisory Committee to alleviate the conflict. In addition, the City shall continue to participate in the preparation of the evaluation report for the East Central Florida Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan required pursuant to Section 1 86.51 1, Florida Statutes. Additionally, the City shall continue to coordinate with ~~~~'~n--~~local, state and federal agencies for grant opportunities and improvements. 3.

SUMMARY The Capital Improvements Element (CIE) is the mechanism used to guide and implement the Comprehensive Plan through the programming of public facilities and services as identified in the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan and must demonstrate the fiscal feasibility of the Comprehensive Plan. The CIE is to be annually adopted and updated to reflect the timing and funding of capital projects to meet or maintain adopted Levels of Service (LOS) standards or implement the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the CIE and the Schedule of Capital Improvements (SCI) is to ensure that necessary facilities and infrastructure will be in place to meet the LOS standards established within the Comprehensive Plan, by addressing them through the annual budgeting process. The SCI also acts as a monitoring system to ensure that programmed capital improvements are actually completed during the five-year planning period. The SCI includes those capital improvement projects for which the local government has fiscal responsibility, as well as some projects for which the City does not have fiscal responsibility, including school facilities, certain transportation facilities, some water supply facilities, and privately funded projects necessary to ensure that adopted LOS standards are achieved and maintained. Capital improvements must be financially feasible based on sufficient revenues being currently available or available from committed funding sources for the first three years of the CIE. Financial feasibility for years 4 and 5 is to be demonstrated by ensuring that funds are committed or planned. Revenue sources that may be used to demonstrate financial feasibility include: tax revenues, bonds, state and federal funds, impact fees, service charges, and developer contributions. Expenditures or appropriations included in the City's annual operating and capital budget are to coincide with SCI as well as the City's capital improvements program. concurrency related facilities in the following areas are to be included: ^ Transportation Facilities ^ Sanitary Sewer ^ Potable Water ^ Solid Waste ^ Stormwater (drainage) ^ Parks and Recreation ^ Schools • If the LOS Standards are not met, concurrency management requires a local government to deny applications for development orders and permits until the deficiency is addressed. In order to assure that facilities will be in place to maintain LOS standards in a timely manner and prevent a concurrency moratorium, the SCI must address deficiencies and be financially feasible. [Note: Land acquisition and design studies should be included, but do not satisfy concurrency- Only programmed construction phases satisfy concurrency.] IX-20
