Workshop Authorizat'
REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests that the City Commission and
Local Planning Agency (LP A) conduct a workshop to review the recommendations of
Land Design Innovations (LDI) for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based
amendments to the City of Winter Springs eomprehensive Plan.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to solicit comments and recommendations for the EAR
Based Amendments to the eomprehensive Plan from the City Commission and LP A,
prior to formal consideration and transmittal to the Department of eommunity Affairs
(DCA).
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document that identifies the future
development patterns in the City and the services that will be necessary to meet the
demands of future growth. The City's eomprehensive Plan was adopted in 1992 and
was based primarily on data available as of 1990. The City is required by State
Statutes to prepare an evaluation of the Comprehensive Plan and update the
Comprehensive Plan with current data every seven (7) years. The City successfully
completed the evaluation of the Comprehensive Plan, which was determined sufficient
by. DCA.
The City originally had until September 26, 2000 to complete the update of the entire
Comprehensive Plan, which afforded the Comprehensive Planning eoordinator
eighteen (18) months to complete the task. The Comprehensive Planning Coordinator
subsequently requested a six (6) month extension to complete the amendments by
March 26, 2001, and the request was granted by the State. However, the
Comprehensive Planning eoordinator left the eity on March 26, 200 I without having
completed any of the required updates to the plan. The Community Development
Director reviewed the situation and immediately requested another six (6) month
extension from the State to complete the EAR Based Amendments. In response, the
State extended the deadline to September 26,2001 in a letter dated May 4, 2001; the
State has no authority to issue additional extensions. Therefore, if the Comprehensive
August 20, 200 I
Regular Agenda Item A
Page 2
Plan updates are not completed by September 26, 2001, the State will no longer allow
the City to process large scale comprehensive plan amendments.
The Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the eomprehensive Plan identified that the
entire document was poorly written and should be completely re-written as part of the
EAR Based Amendments. This was an enormous undertaking that was further
complicated by the resignations of both the Comprehensive Planning Coordinator and
Current Planning Coordinator in March 200 I. Consequently, a supplemental
appropriation of $46,310 from the General Fund was approved to hire LDI to prepare
the EAR Based Amendments to the eomprehensive Plan.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND STATUS REPORT:
LDI was requested to provide a schedule for the completion of the EAR Based
Amendments, which was included in their original proposal. Since the State deadline
is September 26, 2001, drafts of the various comprehensive plan elements have been
distributed to the City Commission, the LP A, and City staff to allow for review and
recommendations, prior to the document's consideration by the LPA and City
Commission. To date the following plan elements have been distributed:

CHAPTER III
HOUSING ELEMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
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. A stable 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 a~commodating different life styles helps to
encourage the development of a well-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 eity to protect exiting 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 condition and type 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 who reside 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 deficit demand is presented. Deficiencies in market driven supply, especially for
low to moderate-income households and the elderly, are evaluated. Recommendations are
made to respond to the failures of the private sector to meet the housing needs for all of the

commuruty.
Because of the size of the City of Winter Springs, and its suburban location relative to the
rapidly growing Orlando urban area, the housing market has predominandy been demand
based. This is to say 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
demographics and economic forces, which naturally form a community, have been the
predominant influence on new development in the Winter Springs area. Housing needs
have generally been met quite successfully by private market forces.
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
considering the efficiency of the private sector in meeting housing demand in the past. This
Element exists to provide an inventory of existing housing and to forecast trends of the
housing market in the Winter Springs area. It is also the purpose of this Element to locate
possible deficiencies within the private sector and suggest ways to aid the private sector in
eliminating those deficiencies. Also, the Element serves 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.
2. Growth Trends
Winter Springs is predominately a residential community of 31,666 residents whose
population focus is shifting toward the eastern part of the City. The original Village of
North Orlando consisted of standard homes on quarter -acre or larger lots centered around
the western section of State Road 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 left abandoned by 1968. In 1970, the City's population was only
1,161 persons and concentrated on the western side of town. In 1971, 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 Plann~d 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 eity.
The majority of the City's growth occurred between 1970 and 1980 as it increased by
approximately 792%, or from 1,161 residents to 10,350 residents. Between 1980 and 1990,
the population increased by 11,801 residents. Between 1990 and 2000, population growth
began to slow and increased by 43% or 9,515 residents. Table III-1 shows population
figures for the City and the eounty for the last 20 years, and also includes population
projections.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS

HOUSING ELEMENT
Seminole County experienced a significant increase in population between 1975 and 1990.
The County population experienced a 62% increase between 1970 and 1975. The U.S.
Census Bureau indicated a population of 365,196 for the year 2000.
Population growth in Winter Springs has been fairly proportional to the growth trends in the
eounty. Although between 1975 and 1980, the eity experienced a 198% increase in
population, while the County only experienced a 47% growth during the same time period.
Projections prepared by the Land Design Innovations, Inc. (LDI) indicate a population of
33,400 for the year 2005, and 37,606 for 2010. LDI has also prepared population
projections for the years 2015 and 2020 (see the population projections Report).
The following sections will analyze how this tremendous growth has impacted the provision
of housing, and what can be expected in the next ten years.
B. HOUSING INVENTORY
This section deals with the characteristics and conditions of the existing housing stock in the City,
the availability of subsidized housing developments, the protection of significant housing, and
housing construction activity. The primary sources of statistical information used in the updating
process were the Shimberg eenter for Affordable Housing and the Bureau of Economic and the
1990 Census. In some instances, data from the Census 2000 is mentioned. However, since not all
the housing statistics have been released at this time, most of the figures are based on 1990 and 1995
statistics and estimates.
1. 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.
More recent figures show that approximately 252 building pennits were issued
between April 2000 and March 2001.
The consistent increase in new housing units is an indicator of the strength of
growth within the City and its surrounding area. As a result, new housing (units built
between 1980 and 2000) presendy comprise approximately seventy-one (71) percent
of the eity's total housing stock. At the other end of the spectrum, units built prior
to 1960 (40 years and older) constitute only one (1) percent of the existing housing
stock. Table III-1 shows the age of housing units in the City and the County.
The condition of the older housing stock is quite good, in sound condition, and well
maintained. Although there has not been a housing survey conducted for the City, it
is reported that there are currendy no units that that meet the general definitions of
substandard or deteriorated.

b. Dwelling Units by Type
Table IIl-2 shows that, in 1990, there were 8,706 dwelling units in the City of Winter
Springs. Almost seventy-nine (79) percent of these were single-family homes,
fourteen (14) percent were multifamily units, and seven (1) percent were mobile
homes. Estimates prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing show
that the proportion of single-family homes has been decreasing while the proportion
of mobile homes has been increasing.
c. Dwelling Units by Tenure
According to the 1990 Census, approximately ninety-two (92) percent of the housing
units in Winter Springs were occupied (see Table 111-3). Of the eity's 8706 occupied
housing units, 6,104 units or seventy-six (76) percent were owner-occupied; and
1,907 units, or twenty-four (24) percent.were renter-occupied. By comparison, sixty-
seven (67) percent of all occupied housing units in the County and the State were
owner-occupied. At the time of the 1990 U.S. Census, about eight (8) percent of the
City and County housing units were found to be vacant. This figure compared
favorably with that of the State, where almost thirteen (13) percent of the housing
units were vacant.
There were 695 vacant units in the City of Winter Springs in 1990. Of those vacant
units, thirty-five (35) percent were for sale, thirty-two (32) percent for rent, and
fifteen (15) percent were seasonal units. The percentage of seasonal units in the
County was slightly lower than in the eity. There was only one migrant worker unit
within the City of Winter Springs, and only 6 units in the County.
Recently. released statistics from the Census 2000, show that the percentage of vacant
units in the City has decreased by approximately three percent. The same is true for
the percentage of renter-occupied units. The percentage of seasonal units has
remained the same.
d. eost of Housing
The median gross rent for renter-occupied units in the City of Winter Springs was
$609 in 1990. This figure was higher than tlle median gross rent in Seminole County
($548). Twenty-one (21) percent of the rental units in the City, and thirty-six (36)
percent in the County, had rents below $500. Approximately 1.6 percent of rental
units in the City had no cash rent. 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. The Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing estimated the
number of dwelling units by rent for 1995. The rent ranges for gross rent are
presented in Table IlIA. The figures prepared by the Shimberg eenter show the
same percentage of units renting for less than $500 per month.
The median contract rent for the City was $496 in 1990. This indicates that expenses
relating to rentals, above contract rent, were over $100 per month. This figure would
include services and utilities not included in the rental price of the unit, such as
electricity and insurance.

There is a difference in housing costs between the east and the west sides of the City.
While the value of a home on the east side was $139,200 in 1990, the value of a
home on the west side was only $81,700. This was due to the lower cost of housing
in the older portions of the eity, as opposed to the country club setting of the
Tuscawilla PUD on the east side.
Table III-5 shows owner-occupied housing units by home value in 1990 for both the
City of Winter Springs and Seminole County. The distribution of housing values in
the City show that housing costs in the City are generally higher than in the County,
with approximately forty-six (46) percent of the units in the City valued at $100,000
or more. The housing stock can accommodate different income needs and provide
housing for nwnerous family income groups. The median value of owner-occupied
housing in 1990 was $96,400, as reported by the U.S. Census. In comparison, the
median value for owner-occupied housing in Seminole eounty was $91,100.
Less than ten (10) percent of owner-occupied housing in Winter Springs was not
mortgaged, according to the 1990 Census. Of the 5,246 owner-occupied units
calculated by the Census Bureau, 4,728 units were mortgaged. The median owner
costs for non-mortgaged units in the City was $208 per month, and $868 for
mortgaged homes. The median costs in the County were $182 and $828,
respectively. A detailed breakdown of housing costs in the eity and the County is
presented in Table III-6.
e. Cost to Income Ratio
The Florida Department of eommunity Affairs (DeA) estimates that a family is
paying too high a percentage of their income for housing if the cost to income ratio
is greater than thirty (30) percent. The market for owned housing is self-regulating,
meaning lenders are hesitant to risk a mortgage loan on households whose income is
too low to afford housing costs that exceed thirty (30) percent of their income.
Rental housing, however, does not have this regulating feature, and a percentage of
families, usually those with low to moderate income levels, must spend a greater than
acceptable share of their income on housing. Households are defined as very low,
low, and moderate income based on thresholds tied to the median income of a
county or metropolitan statistical area. These thresholds are 50, 80, and 120 percent
of median income, respectively. The median income in Seminole County was
$35,637 in 1989. In Winter Springs, the median household income was $40,563.
Rent to income ratios for 1990 are presented in Table III-7. Approximately twenty-
eight (28) percent of the City's home owners and thirty-five (35) percent of renter
households paid more than thirty (30) percent of their income on housing in 1990.
These figures are considerably lower than Seminole County where twenty-five (25)
percent of County owners and thirty-nine (39) of the renter households were paying
more than thirty (30) percent of their incomes on housing. Table III-7 also lists the
figures prepared by the Shimberg eenter for 1995 through 2010.

2. Housing Conditions
a. Physical Conditions
The City of Winter Springs has not conducted a housing conditions survey in recent
years. Based on the fact that most housing units in the City are less than thirty years
old, it is evident that there are no deterioration pr.oblems in the eity. The older
homes that were part of the original town are in most part still occupied. As a result,
no properties have been left unattended or allowed to degrade below standard. The
goals and objectives of this element will require that the City conduct a survey in
2002 to determine the structural conditions of the City's housing stock. The
followirig terms and defInitions shall be used for 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.
The 1990 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, and the lack of a water system or means of disposing
of sewage.
Table III-8, which summarizes these statistics for the City and the County, indicates
that the, interior quality indicators of the City's housing stock are substantially lower
than in the eounty.
b. Overcrowding
Overcrowding is also an indicator of substandard housing. According to the U.S.

balconies, halls and utility rooms. Table III-8 shows that 141 dwelling units, or less
than two (2) percent of the homes in Winter Springs were considered to be
overcrowded, compared to 2.6 percent in the eounty.

Administration licenses and monitors assisted living facilities, adult family care homes, and
adult day care centers. According to the Department of Children and Family Services, there

5. Mobile Homes
Approximately seven (1) percent of the City's housing stock in 1990 consisted of mobile
homes, a little more than the share of mobile homes in the County (5%). Table III-9 shows

The City recognizes the importance of housing alternatives to meet the housing needs of
diffe,rent types of households. As such, mobile home communities can help support the
heterogeneous environment beneficial to the City as a whole.
It is necessary to provide guidelines for the development of these communities and require
responsible ownership standards for development and upkeep. Careful placement of mobile
home communities within the City and the urban service area as well as recommendations
for the community's internal development, can result in mobile home communities being an
important and vibrant element of the City's housing mix.
6. Historic Housing
The Division of Historical Resources of the Florida Department of State maintains a central
archive for Florida's historical and archaeological sites known as the Florida Mater Site File
(FMSF). These properties are not required to meet any minimum level of historical or
scientific importance, but usually are at least fifty years old, and adequately located and

7. Housing Construction Activity
The City of Winter Springs tracks housing construction activity through the building permit
process. A summary of building activity, by month, is reported to the U.S. Census Bureau in
"Reports of Building or Zoning Permits Issued and Local Public Construction" (Form C-
404). Table III-10 presents housing construction activity by type of housing units permitted.
The eity has issued permits for approximately 3,924 new dwelling units between April 1990
and March 2000. The majority of these units, 3,887, have been single-family detached units.
Table III-10 does not present data regarding the number of units removed from the housing
stock through demolition, conversions, or mobile home removals. There have been very
few demolitions in the last ten years.
The eity does not keep information on conversions. However, it is known that a few
residential units in the S.R. 434 corridor
The City has also added to it's housing stock through the process of annexation. This data is
also presented in Table III-B. Annexations in the decade of the 1990's, ~bnti!1:>~H.~if~&~
units to the City's housing stock.
e. ANALYSIS
Based on the information presented in the previous section, the following statements can summarize
the current housing situation in the eity of Winter Springs:
. Single family is the most predominant housing type. Even with a slight decline in proportion
from 1990 (78%) to 1995 (74%), the percentages are still higher than in Seminole County.
· The City has experienced a large increase in the proportion of mobile homes since 1990 (from
7% to 14.5% in 1995), while the County remained constant (4.5%).
· Over 76% of the homes in Winter Springs were occupied by owners in 1990, compared to 67%
in the County. Preliminary figures from the 2000 eensus indicate that the percentages have
increased both in the City and the eounty (to 80% and 69%, respectively).
. The vacancy rate in the City was lower than in the County in 1990 (8% vs. 8.6%), and has
considerably decreased in the last 10 years (to 4.3% and 5.1% respectively).
. The housing stock is very young with over 70% built since 1980.
. Home values in 1990 were about 6% lower in the County than in the City, while rents were
about 5% lower.
. In 1990, 28% of homeowners were paying over 30% of their income for housing, while 35% of
renters were paying over 30% of their incomes for rent. The percentages in the eounty were
25% for owners and 39% for renters.

· Very few housing assistance programs are being used in the City.
The following section will forecast housing needs based on population projections, and will address
land requirements, expected housing supply and the system of housing delivery. The information
contained in this section was obtained from the following sources: 1990 United States Census, and
the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The Shimberg Center provides the option to insert
locally defined data in four areas: population projections, vacancy rate used in housing demand and
need projections, 1990-1995 permit data, and affordability tables (sale price range). The City of
Winter Springs has prepared detailed population projections based on local trends. Therefore, the
City has elected to adjust the population projections provided by the Shimberg eenter.
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 single-family dwelling
may better serve the needs of certain households. Such alternatives include mobile
homes and smaller, higher density multi-family units.
In 1990, the city's household size was the same as in the county, and slightly higher
than the State. The average household size in both the City and the County was 2.7
persons per household while it was 2.55 in 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 show this
trend.
The projections, shown in Table 111-11, indicate that the eity can expect to have
13,669 households by 2005, and 15,846 households by the year 2010.
b. Population by Age
In order to project the type of housing needed through the year 2020, projections of
the age of the city residents were calculated. The age of the eity's 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.
Also, age reflects income levels through the lifetime income cycles of individuals, i.e.,
DRAFT

dissaving, saving, and retirement. These income periods, correlated with age,
provide insight into the cost of new housing that will be in demand.
Table 111-12 presents the expected changes in the age of the population between
1990 and 2010 as projected by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The
City population age distribution is expected continue similar to that of tlie County.
The younger groups (0 to 44) are expected to experience a slight proportional
decrease, especially the 35 to 44 age group, which will go from 25.6% of the total
population in 1990 to 16.9% in 2010. The older groups will experience a slight
increase, especially the 55-64 group, which will have an increase from 9.9% in 1990
to 20.8% in 2010. The eounty as a whole is expected to have a slight increase in the
45 and up age groups than in the younger groups.
The age groups that are projected to be the most influential in future City growth
will be 45 to 64. Because of the suburban character of the community, it is expected
that the City will continue to attract young families and older couples, as opposed to
young singles.
Most new housing is expected to cater to the needs of the families looking for
owner-occupied, single-family detached units of the three bedroom/two bathroom
type.
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 median income.
Low Income - 50 to 80 percent of median.
Moderate Income - 80 to 120 percent of median.
Middle to High Income - greater than 120 percent of median.
Table III-13 lists 1989 household income, by income range, for the City and the
County, and Table 111-14 shows projections of household income by tenure. The
median household income in the City in 1989 was $40,563, while in the County it
was $35,637. In 1989, approximately seventy-eight (78) percent of the eity
households were within the moderate to high income categories combined. There
were seven (7) and fourteen (14) percent within each of the other two categories
(very low and low). eompared with the eounty, the City had less very-low to
Moderate households and more middle-to-high income households.
xThe household income projections, which were prepared by the Shimberg Center for
Affordable Housing, show that the distribution of households by income is expected
DRAFT
III-10
:f ,.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
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.
2. Projected Housing Needs
Housing need projections were prepared by the Shimberg eenter for Affordable Housing
based on household projections, household income and housing costs.
a. Housing Tenure. Type and Cost
According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, there were 9,691
households in 1995 in the City of Winter Springs. It is estimated that there will be
15,473 households by 2010. Shimberg estimates that, by 2010, there will be a
demand for approximately 5,5i79.riew..housing~:lin.its (1995 to 2010). The Shimberg
Center uses a vacancy rate of 6.1 % for the City of Winter Springs, based on the 1990
vacancy rate reported by the eensus Bureau. Shimberg further specifies the housing
needs by tenure, showing a need for additional 4,812 units for ownership and 970 for
rent. Tables III-15 and III-16 show the projected demand for housing by type and
tenure.
The Shimberg Center looks at the distribution of households by income range, the
existing (1995) supply of housing by cost, and affordability to prepare projections of
surplus and deficit of affordable housing. Affordable units are those with a cost
lower than 30% of the household's gross income. Tables III-17 and III-18 show the
figures for renter and owner-occupied housing. Table 1II-19 shows the
deficit/surplus of affordable units by income range and occupancy. It can be
observed that based on 1995 conditions, the demand for affordable owner-occupied
housing will be greater for the lower income levels ($0 to 20,000) and for the
$40,000-$45,000 group. For rental units, the demand will be greater for those with
incomes under $15,000.
b. Housing for Special Populations
Table III-19 shows the projected demand of housing by the elderly by tenure. The
figures indicate that there will be a need for approximately 3,095 housing units
designed with cer~ features that the elderly population will require, such as smaller
units that are barrier free and easily accessible.
Litde 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. The housing and building Codes of Winter Springs
already address state requirements for handicap accessibility.
Because the city of Winter Springs does not exist within an area of high agricultural
use, separate estimates for rural and fann worker households were not made. The
rural and farm worker population in the eity of Winter Springs accounted for only
1.4 percent of those employed in 1990, and 0.7 percent of the total population of the
City. Therefore, dleir housing needs are not expected to impact the housing market.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
There are no specific areas in the City of Winter Springs targeted for the provision of
housing for the very Jow, Jow, 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.

Low-income households have very few choices in new h.ousing. The smaller single-
family attached dwelling is the only presently affordable new housing for this income
group. Table III-19 shows the deficit of affordable units by income category.
Low and very low-income households are expected to require a total of 2,896
housing units (for ownership and rental) by 2010. The private sector is expected to

the future.
Although the private sector is meeting a percentage of the housing need through use
of Federal funding programs, further assistance should be planned. A number of
low-income households are expected to be elderly citizens who own the housing in
which they live. A number of these homes are aging and will require rehabilitation.
Since the residents have inadequate income for proper maintenance, some form of
assistance is expected to be required. .
c. Group Homes
Based on the fact that the percentage of the elderly population is expected to remain
constant in the next few years, it can be assumed that there will not be a need for
additional group home facilities for the elderly. However, should any new facilities
open, they should be small scale if possible and should be located within residential
or mixed use areas in close proximity to bus routes, neighborhood shopping areas,
and other essential personal service uses. The facilities should have a residential
character as opposed to an institutional look and scale. Group homes for the
disabled should follow the same location guidelines.
d. Dwelling Unit Demolitions and Conversions
According to the 1990. Census figures, approximately 407 housing units will be 50
years or older by the year 2010 (see Table III-1). Given the age of the housing stock
the City does not expect major demolitions or conversions in the next 10 years.

(2%) of units SO years old and older will become substandard each year. Five (5)
percent of these substandard units can be categorized as deteriorated.
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.
3. Land Requirements and Availability for Projected Housing Needs
Based on the figures provided by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a total of
16,476 dwelling units will be needed to serve the household population of the City by the
year 2010. Of those 16,476 units, 14,614 will need to be single-family and 1,862 multifamily
(see Table III-16). The Shimberg Center had projected a demand for 13,103 units (11,622
SF and 1,481 MF) by 2000. Based on recent releases from the 2000 Census and building
permit data, the eity was able to determine that there were 12,306 dwelling units
(approximately 11,300 SF and 1,200 MF) as of March 2000. These figures show that the
Shimberg estimates were slighdy overestimated, but that the projections prepared by
Shimberg are generally accurate.

4. The Housing Delivery System
While the City of Winter Springs can 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 currendy meeting the needs of the conununity in terms of providing much
of the needed housing. The home prices in Winter Springs are higher than the average of
DRAFT
III-13
'I
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
new housing costs in many Florida housing markets; however, they are average when
compared to other communities in Seminole County. The vacancy rate in Winter Springs
was less than seven (I) percent in 1990, and less than four (4) percent in 2000, which
indicates that the housing supply is adequate.
a. Financing
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. Mortgage rates are
dependent on National Economic Conditions and not local factors. Housing prices
are dependent on the inflation rate for housing, and local supply and demand forces.
Financing for housing has been extremely good in the past few years. Mortgage
interest rates reached 6.5 percent, the lowest level in the last decade. The rates,
however, are starting to go up again. 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, and make those
programs available to eity 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, can add
unnecessary 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
Establish density bonuses for the provision of affordable units
Establish certain zoning waivers such as parking, landscaping and setbacks
Modify street right-of-way requirements
DRAFf
III-14
'.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
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
Traditionally, infill housing occurred in areas that were close to residential "build-
out" with at least 90 percent of its residential land already developed. This traditional
type of infill evolved with a small number of vacant parcels that were bypassed
during the normal course of urbanization. In this process, individual lots or small
clusters of lots remained vacant due to odd shapes, poor access, ownership
problems, changes in zoning and subdivision regulations requirements, conflicts with
surrounding land uses, or land damage by some pre-urban use (such as land fill sites,
dumping areas, wrecking yards, etc.).
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 eity. However, there are still a
few vacant lots within the older part of the eity. It is important for Winter Springs
to develop strategies and programs which encourage the filling in 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 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;
DRAFT
111-15
Ii'
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
. 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.
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
modem mobile home planning and design requirements.
e. Infrastructure Requirements
The infrastructure needed to support housing for 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. 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 are 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.

B. INVENTORY OF NEEDS AND FUNDING SOURCES
1. Public Facility Needs
The applicable elements have identified various capital improvements necessary to meet the
recommended level of service standards. In addition, Chapter 9J-5.016, F.A.C. requires the
City to assure adequate public facilities to service public education and health facilities. An
assessment of the required public facilities is presented below.
a. Public Education and Health Facilities
There are no public health facilities located within the City limits of Winter Springs.
Therefore, an assessment of public facilities to service a public health facility is not
applicable to this Plan.
The City's Fire Department provides Ernergency Management Services (EMS) and
generally transports patients to South Seminole Hospital in Longwood, Florida
Hospital in Altamonte and Winter Park Hospital. EMS will transport to any hospital
the patient requests, including hospitals in downtown Orlando, Sanford and Florida
Hospital in East Orange eounty.
The Seminole County School Board operates five schools and an administrative
center within the City limits or service area of Winter Springs. These education
facilities have been included in the assessment of applicable public facilities. An
inventory of these public education facilities, including enrollment and capacity
information is presented in Table VIII-1 and their location is shown on MapVIII-1.
A general summary of existing and future public education deficiencies is as follows:
(1) Existing Public Education Deficiencies: Based upon the existing
enrollment of Winter Springs Elementary School, Keeth Elementary
School and Indian Trails Middle School, the student enrollment
exceeds the design capacity for these schools.
(2) Future Public Education Dejiciencies: Highlands Elernentary School is at
99% capacity currently. It is predicted that this school will exceed
capacity within the planning period. .. . u,,,,,,,.. .
(3) Upgrades & Maintenance of Public Education Facilities: Seminole County
Public Schools maintains a 5-Year Capital Improvement Program,
which includes necessary upgrades and maintenance of the Seminole
County Public School System.
b. Transportation
All major roadways within the City limits of Winter Springs are under the jurisdiction
of the State of Florida, Seminole County or the City of Winter Springs. Using
functional classifications established under Chapter 355, F.S., seven roadways have
been identified as collectors. These roadways are[LDIIj:

. Northern Way - Trotwood Blvd. to Winter Springs Blvd.
. Trotwood Blvd. ..,... Oak Forrest to Northern Way
. Winter Springs Blvd. - Oak Forrest to S.R. 434
The City has identified other roadways, which are necessary to provide adequate
traffic circulation for City residents. The City has chosen to include these roadways
in the Transportation Element and assign to them a level of service (LOS) standard.
A schedule of these roadways, including their corresponding LOS, is presented
within the Transportation Elernent.
Capital projects have been identified in the Transportation Element to make
improvements to various roadway segments and a schedule of these improvements is
presented in Table VIII-2. A general summary of existing and future transportation
system deficiencies is as follows:
(1) Existing Transportation Deficiencies: To be determined concurrent with
final completion of the Transportation Element.
(2) Future Transportation Deficiencies: To be determined concurrent with
final completion of the Transportation Element.

Planned maintenance includes yearly street resurfacing and
maintenance to the public works corn pound.
c. Sanitary Sewer
The Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element provides an assessrnent of facility needs throughout
the planning horizon (2020). Also included in the Sub-Elernent is an analysis of
existing deficiencies of the sanitary sewer treatment, effluent disposal, and collection
systems. The determination of future sanitary sewer demand includes areas both
within the eity limits of Winter Springs and within unincorporated areas that lie
within the eity's utility service area.
The City has a total design capacity of 4.237 MGD, which includes the capacities of
both the East wwrP and the West wwrP. Capital projects necessary to meet
demand within the first five-year capital improvement horizon (fiscal years ending
2005-2006) are specific to expansion of the eity's collection system and maintenance
of existing system. A schedule of capital projects to maintain the current system and
meet the projected demand is presented in Table VIII-2. A general summary of
existing and future Sanitary Sewer System deficiencies is as follows:

d. Solid Waste
Solid Waste is collected by a private hauler for disposal in the Seminole County
landfill. Based on projections presented in the Solid Waste Sub Element, Seminole
County has adequate landfill capacity to meet the City's needs through the year 2043.
A general summary of existing and future Solid Waste deficiencies is as follows:
(1) Existing Solid Waste Deficiencies: There are currendy no deficiencies in
the solid waste program.
(2) Future Solid Waste Deficiencies: Seminole County has adequate landfill
capacity beyond the planning period. Therefore, there are no future
deficiencies for solid waste.
(3) Upgrades and Maintenance of Solid Waste Program: The City franchises the
solid waste services to a private hauler. Upgrades and maintenance of
the franchise agreement and terms are the responsibility of the
General Services Director.
e. Drainage
The City of Winter Springs completed an inventory and analysis of its stormwater
drainage systems through a study that was adopted as the City's Stormwater Master
Plan. This plan, which addressed all aspects of the City's stormwater system, was
completed in 1992. Several prioritized capital improvements related to drainage have
been identified in the Stormwater Master Plan and are explained in detail within the
Drainage Element.
Drainage systems constructed since new State legislation passed in 1984 are presendy
maintained by individual property owners or by Homeowners' Associations. This
method has been adequate to maintain those systems, but there are no provisions for

individual homeowner's associations.
(3) Upgrades and Maintenance oj the Drainage System: Upgrades and
maintenance of the drainage system includes inlet/ outlet
improvements and vehicles and equipment necessary to maintain the
systems.
f. Potable Water
As noted in the Potable Water Sub-Element, the City has adequate well capacity for
the anticipated population and commercial establishments through the planning
horizon (2020). In addition to the well capacity, the City has adequate storage
capacity for its service area.
The City has chosen to set a level of service (LOS) for potable water delivery. This
level of service will act as a guide to determine the compatibility of land uses to the
potable water delivery system. The basis for determining the LOS is the ISO rating
system for fire protection. The City's capital improvement program include~
numerous projects to meet the LOS for water delivery.
A schedule of capital projects to maintain the current system and meet the projected
demand is presented in Table VIII-2. A general summary of existing and future
Potable Water System deficiencies is as follows:

g. Recreation/Open Space
The City of Winter Springs has historically operated and maintained a
comprehensive parks and recreation program. An analysis contained within the
Recreation and Open Space Element of the City's existing facilities and projected
needs revealed that most parks and recreation facilities are adequate to meet the
needs of the City during the next planning period. However, a need for additional
facilities was found in sorne categories based upon future growth projections.
The eity has set a standard for the location of park areas, relative to the type and
service level of each park area and level of service standard for each type of amenity,
which is included in the Recreation and Open Space Element. Map VI-2 in the
Recreation and Open Space Element, displays the service area for each park type. A
schedule of needed capital projects to implernent the City's LOS standards for parks
and recreation is presented in Table VIII-2. A general summary of existing and
future Parks and Recreation deficiencies is as follows:
(1) Existing Parks and Recreation Deficiencies: Currently, the City meets the
adopted level of service for park acreage and most of the facilities.
The only deficient facility at this time is shuffleboard courts.
(2) Future Parks and Recreation Deficiencies: Future deficiencies will include
park acreage for neighborhood and community parks.
(3) Upgrades and Maintenance oj the Parks and Recreation System: The capital

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
a. General Fund Revenue Sources
(1) Ad Valorem Taxes (property taxes). Ad valorem taxes include revenue
from non-exempt property taxation. The current millage rate is 3.54.
(2) Franchise Fees. Franchise fees are levied upon a company in return for
providing service to Winter Springs. The City currently has
agreements covering gas, electric, telephone and cable utilities.
(3) Licenses, Permits and Fines. All businesses operating in the City obtain
occupational licenses. Building permits are required for all
construction. The City receives a portion of all traffic citations issued
in the City from Seminole County.
(4) Inte'l!,ovemmental Revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are funds
collected by the State or County and shared with other local
government units. Major sources of shared revenue include the
cigarette tax, State revenue sharing, beverage licenses, mobile home
licenses, motor fuels tax, half-cent sales tax and occupational licenses.
(5) Interest Income. Interest income is revenue earned on funds that have
been invested by the City.
(6) Other Cha'l!,es for Services/User Fees. Charges for services provided by
the City that are paid by the users to fully or partially cover the costs
to provide services. These fees generally include special fees placed
on developers for processing plans, administrative fees for
annexations and enterprise fund charges for delivering water and
sewer service. Other sources include miscellaneous rents, leases and
sales.
(7) Utiliry Taxes. Utility taxes are assessed on the users of water, electric,
gas, propane and telephone. The City currently levies a utility tax of
10% for electric, gas, propane and water. The telephone utility tax is
currently 7%.
b. Other Revenue Sources
(1)
Impact Fees. These fees are charged concurrent with new development
and contribute towards payment for infrastructure needs, but not
operational costs, which directly result from new development.
Impact fees are currently assessed for police and fire protection,
schools and transportationILDI4].
Special Assessments. Special assessments are levied against residents,
agencies or districts that directly benefit from the new service or
facility.
Entetpnse Funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for City
services that are operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprises where the intent is that the costs (expenses including

depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public
on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges.
Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). Seminole County provides the City
with a portion of the gas tax in which the County levies on gas
consumption. The percentage is based on the City's population and
can be used only for transportation related improvements.
General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are backed by the full faith and
credit of the local government and must be approved by voter
referendum. They offer low interest for carrying less risk since they
are secured by government taxing power. Capital improvements
financed through general obligation bonds should be used only for
projects benefiting the whole City.
Revenue Bonds. Funds raised from revenue bonds may be used for
projects benefiting a specific group since charges collected from users
of the improvement are applied direcdy to the debt service on these
bonds. In this respect the projects are self-supporting. Revenue
bonds pay higher interest and their issuance may be approved by the
City Commission without voter approval.
Industrial Revenue Bonds. Though the local government issues these
bonds, the debt is assumed by the companies or industries that use
the revenues for construction of utility plants or facilities. Because
they are tax-exempt and low interest, industries are attracted to this
type of bond. Local government can transfer the actual liability to
provide interest while garnering employment and economic benefits
for the community.
Federal and State Grants and Loans. Federal funds are allocated to state
agencies which administer block grants or disbursed as block grants
directly to state and local agencies or other eligible organizations. The
purpose of the block grant program is to enable greater latitude by
recipients in the actual use of the funds. These funds are generally a
non-recurring source and cannot be accurately projected for
budgeting purposes...Jn.addition .to- block grants -and other state - - -.. -
grants, several federal agencies offer direct loan programs with
limited ability to finance capital improvements. State loans, however,
can be used to finance capital projects such as land acquisition for
low-income housing.

C. PUBLIC FACILITY ANALYSIS
1. Current Practices for Funding Capital Improvements
Revenues have generally been used to meet mandatory or essential operating
expenses in the past, with only limited amounts of monies available to fund needed
capital improvements. The City now utilizes improvements and projects identified in
the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to help guide fund allocation that will
ensure the adequate provision of public facilities and infrastructure.
The various elements of this plan discuss and analyze capital improvements
necessary to correct existing deficiencies and provide facility expansion to meet
projected growth. The methods of project prioritization of the identified capital
improvements are explained below.
To provide a means to determine the relative priority of each capital project, the City
will use the following criteria to prioritize projects:
. Whether the project is necessary to meet established levels of service.
. Whether the project increases the efficiency of existing facilities or
infrastructure.
. Whether the project represents a logical - extensIon of facilities within the
urban service area.
. Whether the project is coordinated with major projects of other agencies.
. Whether the project implements the policies of the Comprehensive Plan as
they pertain to concurrency requirements.
2.
. Whether the project eliminates a public hazard.
. Whether the project is financially feasible.
Based on the criteria noted above, capital projects identified in the various plan
elements were rated and the estimated costs for each project were determined. Table
VIII-2 displays a prioritized list of each capital project by element, including the
corresponding cost estimate for the period between 2001-2006.
Impacts of Future School Needs on Infrastructure
The City has inCluded future school demands in the socio-economic data when
analyzing the City's transportation needs. In addition, school demands on the City's
water and sewer infrastructure have been included in the level of service calculations
for those services. It is anticipated that there will be no major impacts of these
facilities in the future, and the per capita level of service standards are adequate to
anticipate future school demands.
Timing and Location of Capital Projects
Capital projects planned through 2006 will occur in various locations throughout the
City. The timing of new infrastructure is accomplished by setting guidelines within

the various Elements of this Plan, to assess the relative strength of the City's
infrastructure to service both existing and future growth. The numerous Elements of
this Plan require City departments to provide an assessment of the City's
infrastructure annually at budget time.
4. Financial Assessment
For purposes of assessing the City's financial capability to fund the capital projects
identified in this Element, projected revenue sources and expenditures through the
year 2006 have been identified in Tables VIII-4 and VIII-8, respectively.
Specific local practices to help provide a more detailed level of analysis that will
guide the provision of funding for needed improvements for each public facility are
described below.
a. Transportation
The timing of new roads and streets, intersection improvements, and the placing of
traffic signalization have been driven by new development, availability of funds and
public input. The location of signaling devices has been determined by the
Department of Transportation on arterial streets and on collector streets feeding into
arterial streets. Placing of traffic signs and other internal controls in residential and
commercial areas has been determined by the local traffic control authority of the
Winter Springs Police Department and the City's Public Works Department.
The Transportation Element identified fLDISL road improvement project needed to
meet adopted level of service standards that is not currendy programmed and funded
by FDOT. Transportation projects, including improvements that will increase
.efficiency or enhance existing facilities are listed in Table VIII-2.
Transportation related operations and projects are presendy funded under the City
Department of Public Works. This department is funded from general fund revenues
and special revenue funds. The Seminole County Local Option Gasoline Tax and
State Motor Fuels Tax, which are a part of general fund revenues, are reserved
exclusively (pursuant to Sta~e Statute) for streets and drainage operations and capital
projects. A projection of revenues from the County Gas Tax and State Motor Fuels
Tax has been presented in TableVIII-4. In addition, the City implemented a
transportation impact fee in 1990 and amended it in 1991 to help provide funding
for improvements. to. the. City~s .transportation .system. _ . ...... _ ..
To help fund future transportation projects, the Seminole County one cent local
option sales tax was passed in 1990.' The local option sales tax expires in year 2002.
The County will issue another voter referendum to continue the one cent local
option sales tax to fund transportation projects. A transportation impact fee was also
adopted by the City to help fund improvements made necessary by the impacts of
new development.
Since a number of roadways within the City limits are under the jurisdiction of
Seminole County, a large amount of funding is expected from that source.
Coordination with Seminole County and FDOT will be necessary to ensure the

CAPIT ALIMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
implementation of a maJonty of these improvements. The Intergovernmental
Coordination Element recommends coordination with the County to ensure
adequate funding of these projects. Funding for these projects is anticipated to come
from a variety of sources. An analysis of these sources is included later in this
Element.
b. Sewer
Although the City's sanitary sewer facility capacity can meet projected demand
through the planning period, several projects are planned to enhance the provision
of sanitary sewer services for future growth. These projects include rerouting of
East force main, upgrades to lift stations, West Town Center gravity sewer extension
and improvements related to the reuse system. The prioritized projects are listed in
Table VIII-2.
The major funding mechanism for sanitary sewer capital projects is the Utility
Enterprise Fund. Other projects, which are related to improvements in the existing
system, are to be paid from renewal and replacements funds. Sanitary sewer is
funded and accounted for as a division of the City's Enterprise Funds. A schedule of
sanitary sewer projected user revenues, fees and expenses has been presented in
Table VIII-4 & VIII-8.
Effluent disposal is conducted by rapid inftltration basins (RIBs) and spray irrigation.
Connection to the City's reclaimed water system is required for all new development
located within the FDEP permitted reuse service area. These connections will help
to ensure adequate effluent disposal capacity for new development. Implementation
of the reclaimed water program helps allow the present Wastewater Treatment Plants
to operate with increased efficiency. The collection system for wastewater inside the
City limits has been expanded to existing residences as funds have become available.
Line extensions for new developments have normally been the responsibility of the
developer, with litde or no monetary contribution by the City.
c. Water
Potable water in Winter Springs continues to be supplied by the City's utility system.
Water is drawn from underground sources through deep wells and provided with
aeration and storage. The distribution system is owned and managed by the City.
Two separate systems, one for the Winter Springs West Plant and one for the Winter
Springs East Plant are maintained. The City has added a one million gallon storage
tank to the system and one new well in the Winter Springs West Plant system since
original plan adoption.
The major funding mechanism for potable water capital projects is the Utility
Enterprise Fund. A variety of funding sources are recommended to finance the
various potable water capital projects. A schedule of potable water projected user
revenues, fees and expenses has been presented in Table VIII-4 and VIII-8.
Numerous projects are listed in Table VIII-2 to enhance the City's potable water
systems for future growth.

d. Solid Waste
Solid waste is collected by a private hauler for disposal in Seminole County landfills.
The landfill site is owned and operated by Seminole County.
Pursuant to Chapter 403, F.S., Seminole County is responsible for' providing
adequate solid waste disposal capacity throughout the planning horizon. The goals,
objectives and policies of the Solid Waste Sub-Element address the need for the City
to coordinate with Seminole County to ensure the County provides adequate solid
waste disposal capacity for City residents and commercial establishments. Revenue
projections from solid waste collections are presented in Table VIII-4.
e. Drainage
Winter Springs lies in three primary drainage basins: Soldiers Creek, Gee Creek and
Howell Creek. A Storm Water Master Plan was developed and adopted by the City in
1992. This plan was created to be in compliance with St. Johns River Water
Management District guidelines and FDEP guidelines. The City implements a
stormwater utility fee to pay for the funding of improvements to its current
stormwater system and .to provide for future stormwater treatment facilities.
The City's drainage and stormwater systems are operated under the Public Works
Department. Major funding for this Division is from the Stormwater Utility Fund.
Table VIII-4 presents a schedule of these revenue sources through the year 2006.
The majority of these funds have been allocated for streets and drainage operating
expenses.
The Stormwater Master Plan identified several improvements necessary to enhance
the City's adopted level of service for drainage. These improvements were prioritized
and are explained in detail in the Drainage Sub-Element of the Infrastructure
Element. Specific drainage projects are listed in Table VIII-2. It is recommended that
future updates to the City's Stormwater Master Plan continue to include a
determination of the amount of funding necessary to complete improvements
identified in the plan and for the maintenance of existing systems.
f. Recreation and Open Space
The City has had land donated for various parks and some of the park facilities were
donated by different Civic organizations and individuals. Some of the funding for
capital improvements for recreation that the City has used has been grants from the
State and County. The City's Code of Ordinances currendy requires parkland in
neighborhoods. The allocation for funds to purchase these parks and location of
these parks has been addressed in the Recreation and Open Space Element of this
Plan.
While no significant deficiencies were identified for this facility, the City will
complete several projects aimed at enhancing the City's parks and recreation
infrastructure during the planning period. A schedule of these projects is listed in
Table VIII-2.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPIT ALIMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
The City's parks and recreation budget is funded mosdy from general fund revenue
and grants. Additional funding for other recreation/open space needs may come
from land reservations required by the City's Code of Ordinances.
5. Forecasting of Revenues and Expenditures
To determine the amount of funds available for capital projects, both expenses and
revenues were projected for the planning period. A major source of the City's
general fund is derived from the City's ad valorem tax base. Projected millage rates
and future ad valorem revenues through 2006 are displayed in Table VIII-3.
Ad valorem revenue is generally used to for general fund purposes and based upon
existing trends, there are no funds available in the general fund for capital projects.
Additional projected revenues for funds other than general revenue that can be used
for capital projects are provided in Table VIII-4. Included in this table are revenues
generated from the Seminole County local option $.01 sales tax surtax. Based on the
existing sales tax distribution formula, the City's expected revenues from the surtax
are presented in TableVIII-4.
Other financial considerations for capital improvements are provided for below:
a. Debt Capacity
The City currendy has no bonded general obligation debt. Because the issuing of
general obligation bonds requires a voter referendum, the City has not included any
general obligation debt proceeds as a projected revenue source. The guaranteed
portion of State revenue sharing monies has not been bonded[LDIG].
The Local Government Sales Tax distribution for Winter Springs is estimated to be
$1 ,908,1 08fLDI7].
The City's utility taxes (electric, gas and telephone) have been pledged as a secondary
source of revenue for debt service coveragefLDI81. Florida Power Corporation
operates the City's electric utility through an Interlocal Agreement. Per this Interlocal
Agreement, Florida Power Corporation is responsible for the electric debt service.
Water utility revenue and the sewer utility revenue have been pledged for debt
service and there have been secondary pledges of utility tax money to provide
additional debt services coverage. Funding for the street paving project is pledged
with gas tax monies with secondary pledges from the City's Half-Cent sales tax
distribution. Schedules of existing debt commitments are displayed in Table VIII-5.
The maximum amount of total City debt will not exceed 15% of the City's property
tax base assessed valuation, as reported yearly by the Seminole County Property
Appraiser's office. Table VIII-6 displays the City's debt capacity based on the
maximum 15% ratio to the City's tax base.
b. Operating Expenses
A schedule of the City's projected operating expenses extracted from funds that
provide revenue for each of the City's capital facilities is provided in Table VIII-7.

D. CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENTfLDl9]
The intent of the Concurrency Management System is to ensure that public facilities and services
needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development.
This section sets forth criteria for assessment of development impact and guidelines to ensure that
the adopted level of service standards established by the City's Growth Management Policies
required for roads, sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, drainage, and parks and recreation are
maintained.
The concurrency evaluation system shall measure the potential impact of any proposal for a
development permit or order upon the established minimum acceptable levels of service for sanitary
sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation, and transportation facilities, unless
the development permit or order is exempt from the review requirements of this section. No
development permit or order which contains a specific plan of development, including densities and
intensities of development, shall be issued unless adequate public facilities are available to serve the
proposed development as determined by the concurrency evaluation set forth in this section.
1. Concurrency Evaluation Required for Final Development Orders and
Development Permits
All final development orders or development permits are required to be assessed for
concurrency. Prior to the issuance of a final development order or development permit, the
developer/ applicant must obtain a Concurrency Certificate. Any applicant for a
development permit must provide all information deemed necessary by the City to
adequately assess the impacts of the proposed development.
For purposes of this Section, final development orders and development permits are
considered to be:
· Any order granting, denying or granting with conditions an application for a
development permit.
· Any building permit, zoning permit, subdivision approval, rezoning certification, special
exception, variance, or any other official action of the City having the effect of
permitting the development of land.
a. Application Procedure
The Development Review Committee shall make determinations regarding
concurrency applications and issue certificates according the procedures established
in this section. An application for a Concurrency Certificate shall be ftled with all
applications for a final development order or permit, unless otherwise exempted. A
preliminary review application may also be submitted for an informal and non-
binding concurrency review by the Development Review Committee. All
applications shall be made on a form prescribed by the City, which should require, at
a minimum and as applicable:
. Date of submittal.
. Name, address, and telephone number of applicant and property owner.

under this section, were upon the Development Review Committee can
conduct and make an informed concurrency determination.
An application, which is not technically complete, shall be returned to the applicant
with a correspondence detailing the deficiencies in the application. Failur~ to submit
the required information in accordance with this section shall result in the denial of
the concurrency application. Applications deemed complete by the City shall be
handled on a first-come-first-served basis. Once an application is complete, any
change in uses, densities or intensities for the subject property that result in an
increased capacity requirement for any concurrency facility shall be subject to a new
concurrency review. An application fee may be established by the City Commission
by resolution.

b. Concurrency Exemptions and Change of Use
Certain developments cause no added impacts on facilities, and therefore can be
considered exempt from concurrency and the requirement to undergo a concurrency
evaluation. Any change, redevelopment or modification of use shall. require a
concurrency evaluation, provided the proposed change, redevelopment or
modification of use has more than a de minimis impact on public facilities and
services than the previous use that was actively maintained on the site during the six
(6) month period prior to the date of application for concurrency evaluation.
Concurrency credit shall be given for the previous use that was actively maintained
on the site during the six (6) month period prior to the date of application for
concurrency evaluation. If the proposed change, redevelopment or modification of
use has a lesser impact on public facilities and services than the previous use during
the six (6) month period prior to the date of application for concurrency evaluation,
then no concurrency evaluation shall be required.
If no use existed on the site for the six (6) month period prior to the date of
application, no concurrency credit shall be issued and the proposed use shall be
subject to concurrency evaluation.
c. Demolitions
In case of a demolition of an existing use or structure, the concurrency evaluation for
the redevelopment shall be based upon the net increase of the impact for the new or
proposed . land use as compared to the most recent land use existing prior to
demolition, provided that such credit is utilized within six (6) months of the date of
issuance of the demolition permit. Such credits are non-transferable.
d. Concurrency Certificate
A Concurrency Certificate is a "snap shot" of available capacity for each public
facility, evaluated under this section, at the time the certificate is issued. The
Concurrency Certificate does not guarantee capacity in the future or encumber or
vest capacity for any period of time. At a minimum, the Concurrency Certificate shall
contain:
. Name, address, and telephone number of the applicant or property owner.
. Parcel I.D. number and legal description.
. Date of issuance.
. Proposed use(s) by land use category, square feet and number of units.
. Phasing information by proposed uses, square feet, and number of units, if
applicable.
. Total current available capacity within the service area(s).
. Project impact based on LOS standards.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
A Concurrency Certificate shall expire one (1) year after issuance unless the applicant
commences construction of the development under a validly issued building permit.
A one (1) year extension may be granted by the Development Review Committee
provided circumstances have not adversely diminished the capacity of public facilities
and services to support the development, in which case, the development shall be
subject to a new concurrency evaluation.
e. Procedures for Concurrency Evaluation
No application shall be deemed sufficient unless it contains all information, which in
the professional judgment of the Development Review Committee, is reasonably
necessary to evaluate the impacts of the proposed development on public facilities
and services subject to review. During the review process, the Development Review
Committee shall either deny, approve, or approve with conditions, the application
for a concurrency certificate.
All concurrency determinations for specific public facilities and services shall follow
the procedures outlined below.
(1) Traffic: The Code of Ordinances will provide specific criteria to
determine when and how individual traffic studies are required to
determine concurrency and maintain the adopted LOS.
(2) Sanitary Sewer: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based
on the adopted LOS.
(3) Solid Waste: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based
on the adopted LOS. All solid waste facilities which are under the
jurisdiction of another local government or government agency may
be required to be assessed through the concurrency management
system adopted by that government or agency. However, the City
shall conduct a concurrency test for solid waste regardless of who has
administrative or legal responsibility for solid waste facilities.
(4) Drainage: Concurrency determinations for drainage shall be
based on both stormwater runoff quantity and quality. Generally,
new development will be required to meet the standards of Rule 17-
25, F.A.C. The City's Code of Ordinances shall contain specific
standards to address concurrency determinations for drainage.
Potable Water: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based
on the adopted LOS.

Parks and Recreation:A parks and recreation concurrency evaluation
shall be required for any residential development on a citywide and
per development basis. Citywide minimum levels of service for
parklands shall be determined on a two level basis for community

parks and neighborhood parks. In addition to the citywide minimum
levels of service, new residential development shall supplement the
system of neighborhood parks and recreation services by providing
parkland (or fees in lieu of) consistent with the levels of service
criteria and requirements established for parks and recreation under
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
(a) The parks and recreation level of service standards for
community parks shall be monitored by the City through
concurrency evaluations to ensure that the minimum
levels of service standard for citywide community parks
remains at or above 1.6 acres per 1,000 population In
performing the concurrency evaluation for community
parks for a proposed residential development, the
Development Review Committee shall determine the
number of acres of community parkland, which would
be necessary to serve the number of proposed new
dwelling units. If the development satisfies the level of
service standards for community parkland, then the
development shall be deemed concurrent for community
parks and a certificate shall be issued consistent with the
adopted procedures. If a residential development causes
or continues to cause the level of service for community
parks to be not concurrent, the developer shall pay the
City a fair share community parks and recreation fee, as
established by the City Commission by resolution. All
such fees collected shall be allocated and appropriated to
the City's recreation budget to be expended to enhance
the City's community parks system with priority given to
expend such funds to acquire parkland.
(b) The parks and recreation level of service standards shall
be based on the application of the level of service
standards established for each residential development
by particular region of the City as follows:
In performing the concurrency evaluation for neighborhood
parks and recreation for a proposed residential development,
the Development Review Committee shall determine the
number of acres of parkland, which would be necessary to
serve the number of dwelling units on-site (minimum one-

half acre). If such amount of parkland can be provided while
meeting the level of service standards set forth in this section,
then the development shall be deemed concurrent for parks
and recreation. If such amount of parkland cannot be
provided while meeting the level of service standard set forth
in this section, then the. development shall be deemed not
concurrent for parks and recreation and a certificate shall not
be issued. However, if a development cannot provide the
required on-site parkland, the Development Review
Committee shall permit the developer to satisfy the parks and
recreation standard by providing a combination of on-site
and off-site parkland and a fair share neighborhood parks and
recreation impact fee as established by the City Commission
by resolution. In such cases, the Development Review
Committee shall require on-site parkland to the maximum
extent feasible and practicable, off-site parkland shall be
located in the same region as the proposed development, and
said impact fee shall only be paid if on and off site parkland
cannot be provided as required herein. At such time the
development satisfies the level of service for parks and
recreation, a certificate shall be issued in accordance with the
adopted procedures, with the condition that the necessary
parkland and recreational services, including any impact fees,
shall be in place or paid when the impacts of the
development occur or shall be guaranteed to be in place
through an enforceable development order or agreement not
more than one year after the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy or its functional equivalent.
f. Facilities Inventory and Reporting
The Community Development Department shall maintain an inventory of the
available capacity within the roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste,
drainage, and parks and recreation public facility categories. On January 15 of each
year, the Community Development Department shall prepare a report for the City
Commission containing the current capacity within each public facility category,
including any encumbrances or deficiencies. fLDItO]ThiS annual report shall also
identify any public facilities that will require improvements'to maintain adopted
levels of service and recommend a schedule of improvements to avoid any reduction
in the approval of development orders.

Concurrency Exemptions and Change of Use. Certain developments
cause no added impacts on facilities, and therefore can be considered
exempt from concurrency and the requirement to undergo a concurrency
evaluation. Any change, redevelopment or modification of use shall
require a concurrency evaluation, provided the proposed change,
redevelopment or modification of use has more than a de minimis impact
on public facilities and services than the previous use that was actively
maintained on the site during the six (6) month period prior to the date
of application for concurrency evaluation. Concurrency credit shall be
given for the previous use that was actively maintained on the site during
the six (6) month period prior to the date of application for concurrency
evaluation. If the proposed change, redevelopment or modification of
use has a lesser impact on public facilities and services than the previous
use during the six (6) month period prior to the date of application for
concurrency evaluation, then no concurrency evaluation shall be
required.
If no use existed on the site for the six (6) month period prior to the date
of application, no concurrency credit shall be issued and the proposed
use shall be subject to concurrency evaluation.
Demolitions. In case of a demolition of an existing use or structure, the
concurrency evaluation for the redevelopment shall be based upon the
net increase of the impact for the new or proposed land use as compared
to the most recent land use existing prior to demolition, provided that
such credit is utilized within six (6) months of the date of issuance of the
demolition permit. Such credits are non-transferable.
Concurrency Certificate. A Concurrency Certificate is a "snap shot" of
available capacity for each public facility, evaluated under this section, at
the time the certificate is issued. The Concurrency Certificate does not
guarantee capacity in the future or encumber or vest capacity for any
period of time. At a minimum, the concurrency Certificate shall contain:
. Name, address, and telephone number of the applicant or property
owner.
. Parcel J.D. number and legal description.

not adversely diminished the capacity of public facilities and services to
support the development, in which case, the development shall be
subject to a new concurrency evaluation.
Procedures for Concurrency Evaluation. No application shall be
deemed sufficient unless it contains all information, which in the
professional judgment of the Development Review Committee, is
reasonably necessary to evaluate the impacts of the proposed
development on public facilities and services subject to review. During
the review process, the Development Review Committee shall either
deny, approve, or approve with conditions, the application for a
concurrency certificate.
Concurrency Determination. All concurrency determinations for
specific public facilities and services shall follow the procedures outlined
below.
Traffic: The Code of Ordinances will provide specific criteria to
determine when and how individual traffic studies are required to
determine concurrency and maintain the adopted LOS.
Sanitary Sewer: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based on
the adopted LOS.
Solid Waste: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based on
the adopted LOS. All solid waste facilities which are under the
jurisdiction of another local government or government agency may be
required to be assessed through the concurrency management system
adopted by that government or agency. However, the City shall conduct
a concurrency test for solid waste regardless of who has administrative or
legal responsibility for solid waste facilities.
Drainage: Concurrency determinations for drainage shall be based
on both stormwater runoff quantity and quality. Generally, new
development will be required to meet the standards of Rule 17-25, F.A.C.

The City's Code of Ordinances shall contain specific standards to address
concurrency determinations for drainage.
Potable Water: The Code of Ordinances shall contain standards that
determine concurrency for residential and non-residential uses based on
the adopted LOS.
Parks and Recreation: A parks and recreation concurrency
. evaluation shall be required for any residential development on a citywide
and per development basis. Citywide minimum levels of service for
parklands shall be determined on a two level basis for community parks
and neighborhood parks. In addition to the citywide minimum levels of
service, new residential development shall supplement the system of
neighborhood parks and recreation services by providing parkland (or
fees in lieu of) consistent with the levels of service criteria and
requirements established for parks and recreation under the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
The parks and recreation level of service standards for community parks
shall be monitored by the City through concurrency evaluations to ensure
that the minimum levels of service standard for citywide community
parks remains at or above _ acres per 1,000 population. In performing
the concurrency evaluation for community parks for a proposed
residential development, the Development Review Committee shall
determine the number of acres of community parkland, which would be
necessary to serve the number of proposed new dwelling units. If the
development satisfies the level of service standards for community
parkland, then the development shall be deemed concurrent for
community parks and a certificate shall be issued consistent with the
adopted procedures. If a residential development causes or continues to
cause the level of service for community parks to be not concurrent, the
developer shall pay the City a fair share community parks and recreation
fee, as established by the City Commission by resolution. All such fees
collected shall be allocated and appropriated to the City's recreation
budget to be expended to enhance the City's community parks system
with priority given to expend such funds to acquire parkland.
· The parks and recreation level of service standards shall
be based on the application of the level of service
standards established
In performing the concurrency evaluation for neighborhood parks and
recreation for a proposed residential development, the Development
Review Committee shall determine the number of acres of parkland,
which would be necessary to serve the number of dwelling units on-site
, (minimum one-half acre). If such amount of parkland can be provided
while meeting the level of service standards set forth in this section, then

Policy 1.8.10:
the development shall be deemed concurrent for parks and recreation. If
such amount of parkland cannot be provided while meeting the level of
service standard set forth in this section, then the development shall be
deemed not concurrent for parks and recreation and a certificate shall not
be issued. However, if a development cannot provide the required on-site
parkland, the Development Review Committee shall permit the
developer to satisfy the parks and recreation standard by providing a
combination of on-site and off-site parkland and a fair share
neighborhood parks and recreation impact fee as established by the City
Commission by resolution. In such cases, the Development Review
Committee shall require on-site parkland to the maximum extent feasible
and practicable, off-site parkland shall be located in the same region as
the proposed development, and said impact fee shall only be paid if on
and off site parkland cannot be provided as required herein. At such time
the development satisfies the level of service for parks and recreation, a
certificate shall be issued in accordance with the adopted procedures,
with the condition that the necessary parkland and recreational services,
including any impact fees, shall be in place or paid when the impacts of
the development occur or shall be guaranteed to be in place through an
enforceable development order or agreement not more than one year
after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its functional
equivalent.
Facilities Inventory and Reporting. The Community Development
Department shall maintain an inventory of the available capacity within
the roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and parks
and recreation public facility categories. On January 15 of each year, the
Community Development Department shall prepare a report for the City
Commission containing the current capacity within each public facility
category, including any encumbrances or deficiencies. fLDI25]This annual
report shall also identify any public facilities that will require
improvements to maintain adopted levels of service and recommend a
schedule of improvements to avoid any reduction in the approval of
development orders.
