document are warranted. The Comprehensive Plan has five (5) Elements which are due for review by September 1, 2024
– Future Land Use, Multimodal Transportation, Housing, Infrastructure, and Intergovernmental. Staff anticipates that
these 5 Elements will be the initial priority, with the remaining Elements to be reviewed and updated afterwards.
The Plan and its Elements should highlight the positive aspects of the city, the current challenges that it faces, and the
various opportunities moving forward. Emphasis on the limited remaining development opportunities, lack of
commercially zoned land, environmental challenges associated with the proximity to Lake Jesup and five creeks, and
rapid growth & change in the community is expected. The final Plan should present a clear and unified vision for the
future of the city.
The selected consultant will perform the following scope of work:
1. Conduct a full review of the comprehensive plan, including data and analysis, and policy review.

development.

Elements.

later than September 1, 2024.

RFP Questions and Responses
Q: What is the anticipated budget?
A: While cost is a factor, we want to ensure that we select the company that can help us complete
our EAR-based amendments and other updates by the required State of Florida deadlines and our
own internal deadlines.
Q: How many public meetings do we anticipate?
A: We know that we want to kick things off with a City Commission workshop. Responses to the RFP
will consider the need for public input on the EAR-based amendments versus the other updates.
The selected company will take advantage of community events during the year as a way of getting
public input. The selected company will develop and utilize an online survey tool.
Q: Can you please clarify if it is the Future Land Use, Multimodal Transportation, Housing,
Infrastructure, and Intergovernmental Elements that need to be updated by September 1,
2024?
A: As stated in the RFP and also in the presentation, there are five (5) Elements which need to be
transmitted to the State by September 1, 2024 – Housing, Intergovernmental, Future Land Use,
Multimodal Transportation, and Infrastructure. Our goal is to have the remaining Elements
(Conservation, Capital Improvements, Parks and Open Space) transmitted to the State no later
than June 1, 2025. The Property Rights Element is quite new, very barebones, and does not need
updating. The Public Schools Element will be removed so it does not need to be updated.
Q: Could you please let us know which firms the City has worked with previously on the
comprehensive plan Elements?
A: In the past 5-10 years, a lot of the work has been done in-house. Beyond that, technical
assistance has been received from the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
Q: Given the tight deadline for when proposals are due, with only approximately two weeks
provided after the pre-bid meeting, would the City consider allowing submissions via email
instead of print submissions?
A: All submitted responses are required as outlined in the RFP. The City will not accept a digital-only
submission.
Q: With your involvement with a Vision Zero plan, will that data and those findings be
incorporated into the Transportation Element?
A: We recognize and value the information and data that we have received from the Vision Zero plan
creation process. Having said that, Winter Springs is fortunate to have very few issues with traffic
fatalities and severe injury crashes. We do not want to downplay the seriousness of the incidents
that do happen, but we are at a much lower level compared to other parts of the county and the
region as a whole. Some mention of Vision Zero should be part of the Multimodal Transportation
Element but we do not anticipate that it will be a large factor by any means.
Q: How should we itemize the Cost Proposal Worksheet?
A: As stated on the Cost Proposal Worksheet, you do not have to utilize that worksheet. You can
submit a format that is specific to your proposal or you can submit a variable cost based
engagement with details on costs. We recommend that you break down the proposed costs by
103

each staff person who will be working on the comprehensive plan, what their hourly rate is, and how

opportunities, and environmental protection will be high priorities for the community.

address changes in local conditions since the last
update and to establish a new vision for future growth.
The City has experienced tremendous growth as a
result of the expansion of The Villages, which projects
the addition of 60,000 dwelling units in Wildwood in
the next 30 years. Community engagement efforts
included an interactive project website, stakeholder

workshops, multiple focus group meetings on a variety of
topics, interview sessions, mobile workshops at community
pop-up events, online survey, continual department
coordination, presentations to community organizations/
groups/universities, and commissioner engagement.

Team Experience - Primary Contact & Project Manager
Chris Dougherty will serve as the Project Manager for this effort and will serve as the City's primary
point of contact. Chris has extensive public and private sector planning experience and will be directly
responsible for the day-to-day management of the work products and the associated administrative
matters.
We believe that every successful project must start with a very detailed scope of work, schedule, and
budget. These items, coupled with ongoing communication between Inspire and City staff, are key to
ensuring that we will effectively meet your needs.
A thorough scope of work is a critical factor in the ability to
meet a schedule and ensure cost control. Inspire believes in
organizing project tasks into a logical sequence, providing
consistent project direction, and utilizing standardized
quality control procedures. Chris will establish and manage
the project teams, schedules and budgets and will ensure
that all team members perform their tasks on time and
within budget.
The project schedule will determine the time it will take for
Inspire to prepare and deliver products, and the time that
staff needs for its review of work products. The schedule
will also include specific meeting dates and deadlines for
deliverables. Inspire places a high priority on incorporating
realistic timeframes into the schedule. We identify any
potential delays or roadblocks that could occur during the
completion of the project so that we can have a plan to
address those situations.
We will ensure continuous communication with City staff
and will schedule recurring progress meetings to address
any questions or concerns that City or Inspire staff may
have. We will also hold internal team meetings on a weekly
basis to ensure that the projects are running smoothly,
that Inspire staff have adequate resources, that upcoming
meetings are identified, and that project charges are
within the approved budget for each task.
Great customer service is the lifeblood of our organization.
Chris will serve as our primary point of contact for the City.

Florida Knowledge
Inspire specializes in local government planning for cities and counties throughout Florida. Through this
work, our staff has an in-depth knowledge of Florida Statutes affecting cities and counties, particularly
the provisions of Chapter 163. Our team of sixteen Florida-based planners are active members of APA-FL
and stay abreast of the latest laws, policies, programs and trends affecting Florida’s cities and counties.
LIVE LOCAL ACT
In 2023, the Florida Legislature passed the Live Local Act which, among other provisions, required
Florida cities and counties to approve the development of multifamily projects on sites that are zoned
as mixed-use residential, commercial or industrial if at least 40 percent of the units are affordable to
individuals making up to 120 percent of the local area median income. Furthermore, the bill mandated
an allowable density for these projects based on the highest currently allowed height for commercial
and residential development located within 1 mile of the proposed development but no less than three
stories. The Act was silent on local Floor Area Ratio (FAR) restrictions and parking requirements that
diminished the ability for many developers to achieve the maximum densities intended by the law.
This year the Legislature amended the Live Local Act to allow eligible projects 150 percent of the
“highest currently allowed” FAR within the jurisdiction. Additionally, developments that are a half-mile
from a major transportation hub or 600 feet from available parking such as a garage can receive a
minimum 20 percent reduction to the parking requirement.

LAKE JESUP
Lake Jesup is the largest lake in Seminole County.
Widely known for its abundance of alligators, the
lake has also experienced extreme environmental
degradation over the years from a variety of factors
including fertilizer overloads, stormwater runoff and
flow issues into the St. Johns. River. The protection
and restoration of this important water body should
be a prominent issue throughout the planning
process.
TRAILS & OPEN SPACE
Winter Springs has a thoughtful network
of public parks and trails that provides a
quality of life and distinct identity to the City.
Inspire recently led the update of Seminole
County’s Trails Master Plan and will seek to
identify opportunities to connect and expand
the City’s open space network through this

Conclusion
Nearing a population of more than 40,000 residents, the City of Winter Springs is at an important
juncture. As City leaders look to plan for the next 25 years, it is essential that these policy decisions
are built upon a solid foundation of community engagement. Our headquarters and core team are
based in Central Florida and we understand the challenges that the City faces trying to balance growth
concerns with the advancement needed to provide a prosperous and sustainable future. Inspire is a
mission-driven firm committed to creating great places, safe streets, and thriving communities; we care
about Winter Springs and want to help by doing what we do best.
THE INSPIRE ADVANTAGE
Experience - Inspire specializes in Comprehensive Planning, having completed 57 Comprehensive
Planning projects across Florida including efforts in Winter Springs and Seminole County. We specialize
in order to improve and innovate. Through a commitment to excellence, we seek to make each new
Comprehensive Plan project better than the last one.
Capacity - Inspire specializes in Comprehensive Planning and has built a team with the requisite
breadth and depth to lead this effort. We have twenty planners on staff, including seven in the Orlando
office, who all possess Comprehensive Planning experience. Furthermore, we are excited to have four
summer interns, starting in May, to assist our growing team.
Approach - Robust and inclusive community engagement is a fundamental part of our planning
process. Our approach includes both in-person workshops and virtual opportunities, through an
interactive project website, for public input. The Winter Springs 2050 Comprehensive Plan should be
based on a community-inspired vision.
Local Knowledge - Inspire understands the issues facing Winter Springs and eastern Seminole County.
This local knowledge, and our proximity to City Hall, positions us to provide a planning approach tailored
to context along with exceptional in-person client service.
Objectivity - Public trust is an essential element of a successful planning process and if it is undermined,
it is difficult, if not impossible to regain it. Inspire will forgo any private sector representation within
the City limits for the duration of the Comprehensive Planning process. We adhere to the AICP code
of ethics, avoiding even the perception of a conflict of interest.

Scope of Work
We understand that the City submitted its evaluation and appraisal notification letter to the Florida
Department of Commerce on September 1, 2023 indicating that amendments would be necessary
to ensure compliance with changes to Florida Statutes. The City conducted its last evaluation and
appraisal of the comprehensive plan in 2016 which determined that amendments to select elements
were necessary due to continual updates based on changes in statutes. We also understand that the
City wishes to update the plan in two primary phases. The first phase will be completed to address
evaluation and appraisal amendments to be transmitted prior to September 1, 2024 while the second
phase will include visioning and will be completed in June 2025.
Phase 1Evaluation & Appraisal Amendments
TASK 1. EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REVIEW
The RFQ calls for the Consultant to assist the City with the preparation of Evaluation and Appraisal
amendments, which are due to staff by August 2, 2024 in order to meet the transmittal date. We
recommend the following approach to sufficiently address state statutes and prepare the City for the
second phase that will engage residents in a meaningful visioning process.
1.1: Kick-off Meeting - Inspire will facilitate a kick-off meeting with City staff and Inspire’s key team
members at City Hall. Inspire will prepare a meeting agenda and project timeline for discussion and
approval. At this meeting, we will discuss project roles and assignments, project milestones, data
collection, points of contact, and the overall schedule. We will also clearly identify deliverables.
1.2: Data Collection - Inspire will
coordinate with staff to ensure that
specific information is provided
regarding existing documentation,
including the current adopted
goals, objectives and policies, data
and analysis, water supply plan,
future land use map, GIS data
related to the comprehensive
plan, past evaluation and appraisal
reports, and recent or pending plan
amendments.

Task 1 Deliverables
• Kick-off meeting summary
• State Statutes Matrix
• Evaluation & Appraisal Based Amendments
• Data and Analysis Supplemental Memorandum
• Presentations to Planning Board & City
Commission
1.3: State Statutes Matrix - Based on a thorough review of the comprehensive plan and changes in
state statutes since the last Plan update, Inspire will create a matrix listing the changes in state statutes
adopted since the last plan update. Inspire will identify if they have already been addressed or if changes
are necessary to the goals, objectives, and policies, , which will be organized by element. This matrix will
provide the foundation of the breadth and scope of the amendments to the comprehensive plan to meet
the requirements of Section 163.3191, F. S.
1.4: Evaluation Based Amendments - After receiving confirmation from staff that the matrix is
sufficient, Inspire will prepare the recommended amendments to each applicable element according to
the matrix.
1.5: Update Data & Analysis - Recent changes to 163.3191 now require EAR updates to include at a
minimum a 10-year planning period that must be acknowledged by the Mayor via an affidavit. With the
City’s current horizon year as 2030, this mandate will require new population projections at a minimum
to 2035. In this case, because there is very little time to engage the public prior to the EAR amendments,
Inspire recommends completing a cursory update that will be presented in a supplemental
memorandum with the requisite data and analysis out to 2035. During Phase 2, Inspire will update the
entire plan by element.
1.6: Approval Process - Inspire
will present the recommended
amendments to the Planning and
Zoning Board during the Local
Planning Agency public hearing.
Following the LPA hearing, Inspire
will present the amendments to the
City Commission at the transmittal
hearing. After the 60-day state
coordinated review period, Inspire will
present the amendments to the City

TASK 2. DATA COLLECTION/SURVEY/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
2.1: Kick-off & Data Collection - Inspire will schedule and facilitate a Phase 2 kick-off meeting with staff.
The agenda will include a discussion of the schedule, key planning issues, expectations, development
trends, workshop dates, venues, and identification of community stakeholders,.
Inspire will also provide the City with a comprehensive list of GIS needs to complete the Data and
Analysis.
2.2: Project Brand - Inspire’s Graphic Design Team
will collaborate with City Staff to develop a project
brand. The project branding will strengthen
communication throughout the development
of the comprehensive plan update. Inspire will
generate up to three design concepts based on
an initial meeting with the City and provide two
rounds of edits to finalize. The final brand will then
be utilized on all planning-related documents and
community outreach materials developed for the
project.
2.3: Project Website - Inspire will utilize the
Social Pinpoint online community engagement
platform to provide a branded and customizable
project website that will function as the primary
method of communication between the public
and the Project Team throughout the duration
of the project. The project website will have two
overarching goals:
TO INFORM. Using the suite of tools available on the Social Pinpoint platform, Inspire
can provide a wealth of project-related information and documents on the project
website. Depending on the directives of City Staff, this effort may include public workshop
summaries, draft amendments, meeting recordings, and other multi-media content.
TO ENGAGE. Inspire can incorporate a range of community engagement tools into our
project websites, including online surveys, forums, comment walls, interactive maps, and
participatory budgeting opportunities. The input collected on the project website will be
used to inform our planning analyses and amending the provisions of the comprehensive
plan. The use of Social Pinpoint makes this process easier by featuring a robust suite of
analytic and aggregation tools available for use by the Project Team.

2.5: Community Profile - Inspire will prepare statistics summarizing existing conditions in the
City, covering in general terms the following topics (this work will later become the basis of the
comprehensive plan data and analysis – this will also be utilized in the public engagement materials):
2.6: Public Workshop (1 of 3) – “Where are we now?”
To ensure that the contents of the Plan are community-driven, Inspire will host three public workshops
over the course of the project. Prior to the first workshop, Inspire will develop a PowerPoint presentation,
engagement activities, and two branded social media posts promoting the workshop using the City’s
preferred platforms. Our Team will work with City Staff to revise each of the materials based on input
from staff.
The first public workshop will act as introduction of the project and initial visioning for the Winter
Springs community. At the workshop, Inspire will provide a presentation which discusses the project
scope and timeline, explains the importance of updating the plan, promotes the project website, and
describes the workshop activities. The intent of the first workshop’s engagement activities is to empower
participants to the answer the question “Where is Winter Springs now?” by asking attendees to identify
the challenges and opportunities which should be addressed within the Plan. The team will submit a
summary of the workshop to City Staff for review. Once finalized, the summary will be posted on the
project website for the public to view or download.

Prior to the second public workshop, Inspire will work with
City Staff to develop materials for the event, including
a presentation, meaningful public input activities, and
two promotional social media posts. The meeting will
begin with a presentation highlighting the input received
during prior public engagement activities (workshops
and website), the findings of the Data & Analysis process,
and the next steps in the plan update process. After
that meeting, the team will ask workshop attendees to
participate in a series of engagement activities designed
to evoke a common vision for the future of the Winter
Springs community.
The team will submit a summary of the event to City
Staff for review with up to two rounds of revisions. Once
finalized, the workshop summary and meeting recording
will be posted on the project website for the public to
review and download.
2.8: Public Workshop (3 of 3) – “How do we get there?”
After the team has drafted the first round of GOP
amendments and City Staff has approved them, Inspire
will begin preparations for the third and final public
workshop. Unlike the prior two workshops, this event
will function more like a design charrette by forgoing a
typical presentation. We will instead ask the public to work
directly with the Planning Team to review and provide
feedback on proposed amendments. The intent of this
engagement is to ensure that the community has an
active role in developing strategies that will implement
their vision for the City. Proposed strategies will be
organized by topic area and listed on large, 36”x48” boards
that are scattered throughout the venue and facilitated by
at least one member of Inspire or City Staff each.
Inspire will develop two social media posts to help
promote the event and will draft a meeting summary after
the workshop concludes. All three items will include up to
two rounds of revisions based upon feedback provided by
Staff. Once finalized, the public workshop summary will be
uploaded to the project website for review and download.

TASK 3. VISION SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1: Vision Summary - Following the completion of the engagement process, Inspire will prepare a
summary of the visioning process. The summary will include the community’s preferred strategies for
addressing the main vision themes that resulted from the website and engagement activities. The
purpose of this document is to elevate the Vision in a document that is visually appealing and easy to
read and follow. The Vision document will be submitted to staff for review and comment. Inspire will
prepare up to four revisions of the document.
3.2: Presentation of the Vision - Inspire will prepare a presentation and present the Vision to the
Planning Board at a regularly scheduled meeting. At the next City Commission meeting, Inspire will
present the Vision.
3.3: Amendment Recommendations - Unlike Phase 1 amendments, that address state statutes,
this phase will focus on amendments that will implement and shape the community’s Vision in the
Comprehensive Plan. While an EAR report is no longer required by statute, Inspire will develop a
document that shows the recommended changes by element based on the vision.
3.4: Presentation of Recommendations to Staff - Inspire will present the recommended changes to
the plan to staff to the Planning & Zoning Board and City Board at three meetings.

RVI GENERAL INFO
As planners and landscape architects, we embrace every
opportunity to advance our mission by creating memorable
and engaging outdoor experiences. Founded in 1982, RVi
has grown into a national firm with a broad range of project
experience that inspires our team to think creatively. We
approach each new opportunity with an adventurous spirit,
a collaborative mindset, and a desire to consistently raise the
bar for our clients and for the communities we serve.
In 2021, RVi opened its first Florida office in Orlando. Later
that year, our growth in the state increased due to a merger
with Waldrop Engineering, a firm with deep roots and a
20-year legacy across the Sunshine State. Now with five
offices across Florida—Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Fort
Myers, and Bonita Springs, RVi is well-equipped to assist
our clients through planning, urban design, and landscape
architecture services for public and private sectors.
Widely recognized for our creative contributions in land use
analysis, community planning, and design of outdoor spaces,
our 40-year legacy allows us to leverage the combined
expertise of our team members from across the country.
Since RVi’s inception, one of our key areas of focus has
been working with counties, municipalities, and government
agencies on spaces that serve the public.
Our team has extensive experience working with municipal
and institutional clients across Florida.
Our public sector practice is robust, with current contracts
for planning and/or landscape architecture services held
with 17 municipalities and institutions across the state. These
include:
• Seminole County
• City of Orlando
• City of St Cloud
• Osceola County
• City of Cocoa
• City of Belle Isle
• City of Tampa
• City of North Port
• City of Bonita Springs
• Collier County
• Hendry County
• City of LaBelle
• City of Fort Myers
• Lee County
• City Naples
• Village of Estero
• Florida Gulf Coast
University
We understand the challenges our clients face in creating
amenities that encompass the diversity of their citizens’
needs. With decades of experience, we facilitate the design
process to ensure that stakeholders are satisfied, budgets
are adhered to, and deadlines are met. RVi has a depth
of project staff to respond quickly and expertly to
assignments of all sizes, with our Florida team consisting
of 50+ professionals.
CHANGES IN ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE
RVi has not had any significant changes in organizational
structure, ownership, or management both firm-wide and
within Fixed Income/Public Finance during the past five years.

RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture | City of Winter Springs - 2050 Comprehensive Plan Services | RFP-03-24-01 TR 6
The RVi Team has served communities throughout Florida
on various planning projects, including several recent
Comprehensive Plan Updates. We believe that creating a
healthy community requires a deep understanding of the big
picture and an appreciation for details. We pride ourselves on
our ability to develop practical and straightforward policies
and plans that align with the goals of City leadership and the
public. Coupled with local knowledge and comprehensive
planning experience of Atwell and Kittelson, along with the
environmental policy expertise of Applied Ecology, Inc., we
are enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with the City
of Winter Springs on this important project.
RVi has a proven track record of delivering high-quality
outcomes for local governments. Our team recently
partnered to assist the City of Belle Isle with a major
update to their 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The updates
included plan amendments due to significant changes in
state law and creation of objectives and policies related
to preservation of the existing community character.
Furthermore, the updates address resiliency and low-impact
development policy relating to water quality, which are key
interests for the City given its unique context situated on
Lake Conway and Little Lake Conway. These changes will
enhance the City’s ongoing efforts to protect the environment
and focus on protecting the City’s lake systems to ensure
their pristine condition for generations to come.
As a thriving residential community that may be nearing
build-out, the focus of the Winter Springs Comprehensive
Plan Update effort is not focused solely on guiding new
development. Instead, the RVi team recognizes the
opportunities presented by the Comprehensive Plan
Update to manage modern growth pressures, guide
neighborhood protection, and enhance overall quality of
life. When considering new development, we will approach
it sensibly in alignment with the community’s vision. Our
approach will incorporate innovative planning tools to
ensure the community remains livable, including multi-
modal transportation infrastructure, integrated land use
patterns, and environmental resiliency measures. Our team
understands the necessary changes regarding growth
management while also upholding private property rights
laws. We look forward to assisting the City in achieving this
balance as part of the Plan Update process.
Leveraging RVi’s past involvement and success with similar
work will prove beneficial in facilitating initial meetings to
understand the goals of staff and key decision makers. This
coordination will help identify core issues impacting the City.
Through our team approach, we understand the challenges
posed by growth pressures stemming from unprecedented
population increases across the State, particularly in the
Central Florida area. We recognize the City’s commitment to
preserving its unique character as a community composed
of tight-knit neighborhoods, anchored by the award-winning
Winter Springs Town Center, while also contending with
the influences of neighboring communities such as Oviedo,
Longwood, Casselberry, and Lake Mary. The City’s proximity
to Lake Monroe presents both significant community benefits
and, more recently, heightened concerns due to intensified
storm seasons, threatening the City’s resilience. Addressing
these issues promptly, in close coordination and cooperation
with residents and policymakers, is imperative.
Our team adeptly navigates controversial topics, believing
that open and honest engagement is key to resolving
conflicting interests. Through our public engagement efforts,
we build trust and create the conditions for high-quality
outcomes to emerge. Our team has the expertise and
skills to deliver a practical and pragmatic Comprehensive
Plan Update that incorporates the community’s vision
for the future and addresses the City’s unique planning
concerns.
RVi’s targeted approach to this scope of work is based on
our experience undertaking a holistic Comprehensive Plan
Update. Additionally, it is shaped by the specific scope of
work provided by the City.
KICK-OFF & COMMUNICATION
We believe that the success of any project hinges on effective
communication. Therefore, communication will begin upon
our selection, starting with the initial contract meeting. During
this meeting, our priority will be to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the City’s project needs and expectations.
This understanding will serve as the foundation for preparing
a clear project plan, including a fee and schedule tailored to
meet the City’s requirements within the fiscal year budget.
After the project contract is executed, the RVi team will set-
up and attend a project kick-off meeting with City staff. To
ensure productivity, we will conduct preliminary research on
D.2. PROPOSER EXPERIENCE
183
RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture | City of Winter Springs - 2050 Comprehensive Plan Services | RFP-03-24-01 TR 7
the project and refine the project schedule to present at the
meeting. The discussion will focus on exchanging relevant
background information, reviewing the project schedule, and
further refining project expectations. Throughout the project,
the schedule will be continuously updated with particular
attention to critical path items and target dates. Additionally,
this meeting will serve to discuss the composition and
relationship with key staff and stakeholders to engage
throughout the process and delineate specific roles as the
project progresses. RVi understands that it is of paramount
importance to transmit amendments to the first phase of
elements by September 1, 2024, and we have resources to
meet this deadline.
CITIZEN INPUT & ENGAGEMENT
A “clear and transparent” approach guides the RVi team’s
efforts when undertaking public projects. In the context of
Winter Springs, community engagement will be strategically
planned throughout the duration of the project. We also
understand budgetary constraints and will seek to add value
through the community outreach process while minimizing
costly meetings for the consultant team, staff, and City
Council.
The Consultant Team proposes to host one community
workshop with the City Council before public hearings for
the plan transmittal and adoption, aiming to solicit public
feedback and educate citizens about the purpose of the plan
update. This may be scheduled to “piggyback” with a well-
attended community event or festival in order to maximize
exposure of the project to the citizens of Winter Springs as
well as maximize the efficiency of City resources. With a team
of over 15 planners, we ensure the meeting is adequately
staffed to address citizens’ questions and provide contact
information to stay involved throughout the process. We also
work with the City to develop a dedicated web page for the
project, where the public can easily access draft documents
upon Staff review, along with project timelines and updates.
In addition to public workshops, the consultant team may
recommend organizing smaller, focused meetings with the
Steering or Stakeholder Committee if identified as beneficial
with staff during the initial kick-off meeting. The timing and
frequency of these Steering Committee meetings will be
flexible and designed to meet the project timeline.
RVi also has extensive experience preparing and
administering community surveys tools to incorporate public
feedback. Survey data serves as a valuable supplement
to community feedback, offering additional opportunities
for input. RVi executes surveys in a cost-effective manner
and can gather broader input compared to conducting
community meetings without surveys. As part of this scope
of work, our team proposes to conduct an online community
survey. To maximize input, the survey will be posted online,
broadly distributed electronically, and available at the relevant
public workshops.
Lastly, our team understands the importance of inclusive
community outreach. To ensure effective communication with
Winter Springs’ diverse population, our team includes several
Spanish-speaking planners. This enables us to engage with
residents in their preferred language, promoting inclusivity
and accessibility throughout the outreach process.
EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT
PLAN
Our team brings extensive experience in reviewing
and analyzing Comprehensive Plans, as demonstrated
through state-mandated Evaluation and Appraisal
Reports completed for various jurisdictions, as well
as less formalized assessments of Comprehensive
Plans outside of the EAR process. We excel in quickly
and thoroughly identifying areas requiring updates to
ensure compliance with Florida statutes. This is particularly
important to this project, as the City’s Comprehensive Plan
has been updated in part, but also requires a new horizon
year of 2050. Our initial review of the Comprehensive Plan
highlights numerous policies pertaining to future land use
and concurrency that no longer comply with Florida statutes,
presenting an opportunity to address these discrepancies
through the update process.
This step in the project will also include our team’s evaluation
of other adopted studies and plans to determine where
references should be incorporated into the Comprehensive
Plan. Additionally, we will assess where information can be
removed to streamline the document and make it more user-
friendly for the public. The above findings will be provided
to Staff and City Council in the form of a brief Assessment
Report to ensure buy-in regarding the proposed amendments
prior to drafting. It is anticipated that this report would be
provided to the City within 4-6 weeks of contract execution
to ensure sufficient time to prepare the required amendments
and schedule for public hearings.
184
RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture | City of Winter Springs - 2050 Comprehensive Plan Services | RFP-03-24-01 TR 8
DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENTS & MAP/GRAPHIC UPDATES
After the Assessment Report is delivered and accepted by
the Staff and City, the Team will begin drafting the “Phase
1” elements in accordance with the agreed-upon strategy,
including the Future Land Use, Multi-Modal Transportation,
Housing, Infrastructure, and Intergovernmental Elements
for transmittal by September 1st. This approach will help
mitigate potential confusion as the project progresses and
ensure that the City is confident in the direction of the
update. Throughout the drafting process, close collaboration
is anticipated between the RVi Team, Staff, and the potential
Steering Committee. Phase 1 also includes the elimination of
the Public Schools Element.
As preliminary draft elements and deliverables are developed,
we propose to conduct meetings with Staff early on to
gather initial input, vet proposed policy and regulatory
solutions based on Staff’s extensive institutional knowledge,
and identify any necessary modifications or updates. This
approach will facilitate an expedited final review by Staff and
contribute to reducing the overall project timeline.
As outlined in the professional bios provided in this
proposal, our Team includes several experienced planners
with the depth and breadth of expertise to undertake a
re-write of this magnitude in a seamless and collaborative
manner. The team will be assigned specific elements and
deadlines, which will be communicated to Staff through the
working project schedule. This approach will ensure that the
project progresses efficiently and meets the expectations of
the City.
FINALIZE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENTS & MAP GRAPHIC UPDATES
After review from Staff and the community on the draft
Updated Comprehensive Plan, the Team will prepare
the final document. This will include all maps, data, and
analysis required for transmittal to the Department of
Economic Opportunity. Additionally, the Team will prepare
a supplementary Staff Report to accompany the document,
providing a clear expectation of the Plan’s compliance with
Florida statutes.
PUBLIC HEARINGS & FORUMS
The RVi Team recognizes the importance of conveying
clear information to decision-makers. We have extensive
experience working with elected officials, advisory
committees, stakeholders, and members of the public
to ensure project approval. We are adept at presenting
complex materials and addressing questions and comments
during public hearings. Moreover, we prioritize early
engagement with the community to build consensus for the
Plan prior to its formal vote by the City. The RVi Team will also
prepare a concise staff report outlining the key plan elements
in the City’s preferred template/format, facilitating ease of
review for the update.
STATE AGENCY COORDINATION
Coordination with state agencies, specifically the Department
of Commerce, is a required step in the comprehensive plan
amendment process. The RVi Team has established regular
communication with planners in Tallahassee and maintains
positive working relationships. This allows us to address any
potential issues proactively and minimize recommended
changes at the state level.
ADOPTION
Upon state review of the Comprehensive Plan Amendments,
the Consultant Team will promptly respond to any comments
received by the state agencies and incorporate any necessary
updates to the plan elements. Following the adoption of
the Plan Update, a final version of the document in both
PDF and Word formats will be delivered to Staff to facilitate
future updates. Additionally, all GIS maps will be delivered
along with the appropriate shapefiles to ensure seamless
implementation of the plan by the City.
PHASE 2 ELEMENTS
While the State is reviewing the Phase 1 elements, the
Consultant Team will begin updates to the Phase 2 elements,
including the Conservation, Capital Improvements, Parks and
Open Space elements, following the same general approach
as used for the Phase 1 updates. It is anticipated that the
Consultant Team can complete these updates in advance of
the specified June 2025 transmittal of these amendments,
depending on the breadth of required and optional changes
identified through the assessment process.
SUMMARY OF APPROACH
The outcome of our approach will be a practical, user-friendly,
easy to follow, and community-based policy document
that the City can readily utilize to implement its vision. The
above approach, which will be accomplished in an expedited
timeline in order to meet the City needs, is summarized in the
Preliminary Work Plan/Schedule in Section F: Cost & Time.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
RVi was selected by the City of Belle Isle to conduct a full assessment and update of
their Comprehensive Plan, last updated in 2010. A key area of focus was the rewrite
of the Conservation Element, including updated policies for lake protection and
enhancement and monitoring of water quality.
The project also requires significant updates relating to state legislative changes, such
as concurrency and the Live Local Act. The Assessment Report was completed within
six months of contract execution and within the original budget.
The team also conducted several workshops and an online survey to garner early input
from the public as part of the critical first phase of the project. After the successful
completion of the assessment, RVi prepared rewrites of all elements within the
Comprehensive Plan to address the community vision, changes in demographics, as
well as emerging redevelopment trends and growth pressures. The Comprehensive Plan
was drafted, curated with the community, and ultimately presented to the City Council
within a 12-months of contract execution.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
RVi’s planning staff, in conjunction with Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), was
selected by the City of Marco Island to conduct a full assessment and update of their
Comprehensive Plan which was last updated in 2009. The team acted as the lead
consultant that prepared the Assessment Report outlining recommended policy
updates to implement the City’s vision, as well as changes required to comply with
sweeping state legislative changes enacted over the past decade. The Assessment
Report was completed within six months of contract execution and within the original
budget.
RVi also conducted a series of in-person and “virtual” town hall meetings, most with
more than 100 attendees, and crafted an online survey to garner early input from the
public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following successful completion of the assessment, RVi prepared rewrites of all
elements within the Comprehensive Plan to address the community vision, changes
in demographics, as well as emerging redevelopment trends and growth pressures.
The final Comprehensive Plan was drafted, curated with the community, and ultimately
adopted by City Council within a 10-month timeframe, on time and within budget.

CITY OF LABELLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
City of LaBelle LaBelle, FL
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
RVi is undertaking a holistic update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to identify
amendments required based upon changing conditions, land use patterns, infrastructure
improvements, and demographic shifts.
This update was prompted by concerns regarding neighborhood protection and
infrastructure capacity to accommodate unprecedented growth, a challenge not unique
to LaBelle. RVi's Team has developed an incremental work plan tailored to meet the
City's limited budget for planning projects. We strategically prioritize element updates
based on their relevance to the pressing issues within the community, ensuring an
efficient and effective approach to addressing these concerns.
The update addresses the sweeping legislative changes to Florida statutes that
significantly impact currently adopted policies. The project involves extensive
community outreach, including workshops and a community-wide survey. The update
is also focused on implementing the City’s recently adopted Economic Development &
Resiliency Plan, funded by Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity, which was
also prepared by RVi.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hendry County engaged RVi to update, rewrite, and amend various future land use
elements of the Comprehensive Plan to address specific legislative changes and
preemptions, modernize the policies, streamline land use categories, and ensure better
long-term outcomes for future development.
The future land use element update was completed on time and within budget, and
included a series of community workshops throughout the County to ensure broad
input and consensus for the updates. The update included the addition of policies
relating to specific neighborhood planning areas, including Montura Ranch Estates and
the Airglades Airport Overlay.
In addition to the comprehensive plan amendments, the RVi Team rewrote the
Sign Ordinance to create a legally defensible, clear, and easily administered code
that is simple to use. In 2020, our team also completed the adoption of a SR 80
Corridor Overlay, Affordable Housing/Bonus Density LDC and Comprehensive Plan
amendments, a Commercial Vehicles Ordinance, Planned Unit Development rewrite,
and parking, landscaping, and lighting code amendments.
RVi has been responsible for writing, coordinating with County staff, presenting to
stakeholders through community meetings (pictured above), and completing the
adoption process.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Starting in 2012, RVi was engaged by the City of Bonita Springs to work on a variety of
projects relating to the City’s Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, and various
visioning and corridor studies.
In partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), RVi assisted the City with the
preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) to identify necessary updates
to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Following a successful completion of the EAR, our
team prepared both state-required and optional amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan to implement the City’s updated vision.
The EAR included a tabulation of all state changes and each goal, objective, and policy
in the Comprehensive Plan to denote if changes were required, not required, or “not
applicable”. The EAR also concluded that additional amendments were recommended
to protect the rural fringe surrounding the City, address future land use for annexed
properties, and develop stronger Coastal High Hazard regulations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Kittelson has provided a variety of planning services to the City of Tampa for 20 years.
Recent projects include:
Tampa MOVES Mobility Master Plan - Kittelson prepared a city-wide mobility plan
that identifies and prioritizes projects for the next 30 years. The team conducted an
existing conditions analysis to evaluate the existing multi-modal transportation network,
a comprehensive public outreach effort to understand challenges and opportunities
in all of Tampa’s neighborhoods, identified design criteria to guide future project
planning, identified and prioritized projects, and made policy recommendations to aid
implementation of the Master Plan. Kittelson is now actively working with the City and
its planning partners to implement the Mobility Master Plan.
Vision Zero Action Plan - Kittelson completed a Vision Zero Action Plan to identify
policies, strategies, and projects that provide a safer street system with the goal of
eliminating fatal and severe injury crashes. Kittelson analyzed data to understand crash
patterns and identify a high-injury network to prioritize strategies and investments.
Measurable actions were developed and organized around the Safe System Approach:
safer streets, speeds, people, and vehicles as well as safety data and post-crash
response. The plan was developed along with a Vision Zero Advisory Task Force, City of
Tampa staff, and a committee focused on equity and representation of those traditionally
underserved and the most vulnerable users.
Context Classification - Kittelson is working to establish a city-wide context
classification system built on the FDOT and Hillsborough County classifications. The
assessment focuses on areas, rather than roadway segments, to support transportation
and land use planning. The classifications are aimed at identifying street criteria in
different parts of Tampa, including appropriate safety and multi-modal treatments based
on context.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Influenced by the Olmsted Brothers’ in 1920 as a “city in a garden”, Lake Wales boasts
tree-lined streets, beautiful parks, and civic spaces. As development along the I-4
corridor between Tampa and Orlando extends south along US 27 towards Lake Wales,
the City has commissioned Lake Wales Envisioned—a coordinated short- and long-term
vision and plan for the entirety of the City’s growth and infill areas to inform and guide
future development decisions. Kittelson led all aspects of the transportation planning,
offering expertise in integrating land use and transportation, multi-modal mobility, and
complete streets implementation. The team participated in site visits and stakeholder
meetings and delivered a Deep Dive session on transportation best practices.
The team participated in a six-day charrette in Lake Wales, collaborating with
stakeholders and community members to plan for the City’s future. Participants
worked in small groups, discussing and refining ideas. Various techniques, like using
multiple maps to identify growth and conservation areas, were employed to encourage
discussion and feedback. Participants also used scaled street diagrams to conceptualize
future roadway designs. The on-site graphics team assisted in creating and refining
concepts through freehand “vignette” sketches and color renderings depicting
important design elements.
After the charrette, the team refined the initial concepts and created final cross-section
graphics of potential street designs for each context. The team identified multiple projects
on local and state roads to create walkable complete streets, increase connectivity, and
multi-modal safety. A guiding principle outlined in the plan was to offer true mobility
options integrated into the land use and conservation framework, encompassing active
transportation and trail connections. The team identified multiple trail connections to
the Big Green Network—the natural lands identified in the study area—to connect with
existing conservation areas and establish a network of protected areas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Kittelson led the initial planning and public involvement efforts in collaboration with
the City of Melbourne, Space Coast TPO, and Florida DOT stakeholders to develop a
complete streets concept plan for the Hickory Street corridor.
This corridor plan included bicycle facilities, a pedestrian circulation plan, a streetscape
plan, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, and two curbless festival plazas. As the project
transitioned into the final design phase, Kittelson served as a subconsultant, providing
support for implementing the original complete streets plan into the construction
documents. This involved supporting the horizontal design of improvements along the
corridor, as well as preparing signing and pavement marking plans, lighting plans, and
landscape plans.
Kittelson led the development of horizontal designs for two roundabouts within
the project—a mini-roundabout and a compact single-lane roundabout adjacent to
the Holmes Regional Medical Center. Roundabout design considerations included
addressing space constraints necessitating compact designs, accommodating delivery
vehicles to an adjacent nursing home that required a customized mountable splitter
island, and emphasizing multi-modal design features to support pedestrians traveling
from parking lots to the hospital.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Belle Isle Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2010. Since then, several
state and regional regulatory updates, policies, and planning efforts have taken place
that impact the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The City selected the RVi-AEI team to
provide an overall review of the planning documents, and applicable state and local
policies to develop a Comprehensive Plan that reflects the City’s updated priorities and
new regulatory guidance.
AEI focused efforts on the Conservation Element portion of the Comprehensive Plan,
with the goal of preserving natural resources within the City that include air and water
quality, water supply, energy resources, the Conway Chain of Lakes, native vegetative
communities, wetland resources, wildlife, and environmentally sensitive areas. The AEI
Team reviewed and integrated relevant state and regional regulatory changes to ensure
the City’s plans will comply. Furthermore, AEI reorganized the Conservation Element
following the FDEP guidelines and moved objectives and policies to the Comprehensive
Plan Element most appropriate for implementation. Lastly, AEI created updated septic
tank and wastewater treatment area maps, wetland maps, and soil maps to include in
the updated Comprehensive Plan and recommended a regional approach to prioritizing
septic tanks for conversion to sanitary sewer service.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AEI and Drummond Carpenter (DC) assisted OCEPD with a detailed review of the
County’s existing wetland regulatory framework to assess how the County’s wetland
ordinance could be updated to better streamline the permitting processes while
maintaining adequate wetland protections.
AEI assembled, reviewed, and synthesized permitting criteria, wetland impact
avoidance techniques, wetland assessment methods, mitigation strategies, Section
404 assumptions, and other wetland protection tools. AEI compared Orange County’s
wetland ordinance to those in six other counties to determine if their ordinances had
useful components to incorporate. AEI interviewed wetland ordinance permit review
personnel within Orange County and surrounding counties, as well as private sector
and non-governmental organizations, to understand varying perspectives of the wetland
ordinance. AEI developed a comparison matrix of regional wetland regulations and
prepared a Technical Report summarizing research findings and recommendations for
wetland ordinance revisions.
AEI and DC worked collaboratively to draft Orange County’s new wetland ordinance
language, conducting detailed stakeholder engagement meetings and communications
to help foster support for the ordinance revisions. AEI was responsible for effectively
leading the numerous stakeholder meetings, focus groups, and workshop sessions to
review the recommendations provided in the Regulatory Framework Review Study.
The draft ordinance was presented to the Local Planning Agency (LPA), Environmental
Protection Commission (EPC), the Development Advisory Board (DAB), the
Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB), and other relevant committees. Recommendations
and commentary from all entities were carefully considered during the development of
the updated wetland ordinance which was passed unanimously by the Orange County
County Commission. Subsequent task requests required AEI to develop automated
forms for the permit applications and conduct training of various Orange County
personnel on the ordinance changes and the streamlined permitting process.

RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture | City of Winter Springs - 2050 Comprehensive Plan Services | RFP-03-24-01 TR 21
Planning in Florida has evolved rapidly since 2011, with the passage of the Community Planning Act. Since that time, each
legislative session has brought significant changes impacting local concurrency laws, restricted oversight by the state land
planning agency (now housed under the Department of Commerce), and preemptions on local government’s ability to create
innovative regulatory solutions that respond to their unique demographics and land use pressures. The landscape of required
local Comprehensive Plan elements has also changed dramatically, including the ability to eliminate the Public Schools
Element while requiring a Private Property Rights Element.
RVi has successfully navigated these changes for our municipal clients, and created legally sound Comprehensive Plans that
meet all state requirements. RVi regularly uses a simple chart that tabulates all of the statutory changes to the community
planning act since the last Comprehensive Plan update, to document where changes to the plan are required; where
changes are not applicable to the specific jurisdiction; and where a change to the plan is optional. This table is provided
to the state agencies with the updated Comprehensive Plan to clearly identify that all required changes are made and the
appropriate goal, objective, or policy citation for quick reference. This approach is not only helpful to the local municipality in
quickly understanding the changes required for state compliance, but also eases the state planning agency in review of the
amendments.
We understand Winter Springs has adopted a Private Property Rights Element, that will eliminate the Public Schools Element
through this update, and has also completed updates to the Multi-Modal Transportation Element to address changes to
transportation concurrency. The City is well poised to complete transmittal of the mandatory updates to the Phase 1 elements
listed in the RFP by September 1, 2024, with all remaining elements transmitted by June 1, 2025. RVi has the experience with
state law and comprehensive plan implementation to meet this timeline.
From a more localized perspective, RVi is familiar with the Winter Springs’ unique locale adjacent to Lake Monroe with direct
access to SR 417, Florida’s Greenway. It’s transportation infrastructure allows for quick commutes to neighboring employment
centers in the City of Longwood, Casselberry, Oviedo, Sanford, and Lake Mary. The recently completed Wekiva Expressway
further facilitates travel for residents and business owners, extending accessibility to Lake County and beyond.
Although the City does not have a major employment base, ongoing development of the Winter Springs Town Center, which
still has approximately 55% of entitlements left to construct, should remain a focal point for economic development, offering
potential for both housing and employment opportunities.
The City also endured unprecedented infrastructure damage due to Hurricane Ian. Resiliency planning remains a top priority
for many cities throughout the State, and now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian impacts, the City has the opportunity to
emerge as a leader in resiliency policy. Proposed updates to the Elements of this project offer an ideal opportunity to initiate
these conversations and chart a new path for growth that will benefit both the City and its current and future residents
beyond 2050.

LDC AMENDMENTS & REWRITES
RVi’s Planning staff was contracted to amend seven different
chapters of the City of Fort Myers Land Development Code (LDC)
since late 2017. These amendments include updates to implement
“complete streets” provisions, landscape and corridor standards,
modernization of parking regulations, and a comprehensive rewrite
of the sign ordinance to ensure legal compliance with recent court
cases. Most recently RVi’s scope was expanded to include updates
to the Administrative Code, involving the consolidation of all boards
and decision-making bodies, as well as the creation of a new food
truck ordinance.
CORRIDOR STUDIES
Originally engaged for basic Staff Augmentation Service contracts,
both the City of Cocoa and the City of St. Cloud have expanded
RVi’s Planning Staff’s scope of work. In Cocoa, a special corridor
study of the State Road 520 and US 1 Corridor, known as the Four
Corners, is underway. This corridor study involves analyzing dozens
of parcels with zoning and comprehensive plan inconsistencies,
establishing design standards for the SR520/US1 intersection,
and developing an overall vision for this gateway into the City’s
regionally significant downtown, Cocoa Village. This project is
similar to RVi’s involvement in several corridor studies conducted
for the City of Bonita Springs and City of Fort Myers.
In St. Cloud a multi-year annexation plan is currently in
development. This action plan, which will involve dozens of public
involvement meetings, aims to double the size of the City within
the next 5 to 10 years.
ECONOMIC & DISASTER RESILIENCY PLANNING
The City of LaBelle was awarded a Department of Economic
Opportunity Grant to assist with the development of a community-
driven economic development strategy, leveraging its local strengths
and assets.
As the on-call City Planners for LaBelle, RVi was tasked with
development of a comprehensive Community-Driven Economic
Development Strategic Action Plan. This plan integrated
information, resources, and priorities that were not well-integrated
in the City’s existing plans and guiding documents.
The final report encompassed the following components: a
community vision related to economic development; an inventory
of existing conditions, assets, tools, and infrastructure, including
an asset mapping report; a summary of community-driven
charrette process and community feedback; a detailed summary
of prioritized strategies for economic development; a timeline
for action plan implementation; regional partnerships and
collaborative efforts; and a process and procedure for plan updates
The process involved extensive community outreach and
stakeholder coordination, including a community survey, as well as
coordination with City staff and departments.

The RVi Team’s approach is outlined in the project timetable below. Our Team has completed similar Comprehensive Plan
Updates in approximately 12-14 months and believe that given our understanding of the City’s project goals, the breadth of
the existing plan, and the extent of legislative updates required, we can successfully complete this project within a similar
timeframe of 12-14 months.
RVi recognizes the importance of customer service and meeting deadlines, especially for local governments with extensive
internal deadlines for public advertisement and notification, legal review, and inter-departmental coordination. We take
pride in our outstanding track record of delivering planning services to public sector clients in a timely and efficient manner,
consistently meeting deadlines.
The Project Principal is responsible for assigning personnel and allocating resources for the project. They also oversee
coordination between RVi’s Planning division and any subconsultants on the project team. Work assignments are scheduled
by each office two weeks in advance. We maintain long-range projections of workloads for each department and provide
quarterly advance planning to each project manager. This structured approach ensures effective management of resources
and timely delivery of project milestones.

SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
SIGNAGE MASTER PLAN - PUD AMENDMENT
Osceola County, FL
RVi’s client was developing a retail center in an existing master-
planned community that did not have an established sign
code. The client was proposing signage that exceeded County
maximums, which required a master plan amendment to create
site-specific signage standards. This led to the creation of unique alternative signage policy
standards, including the design of new code-minimum landscape requirements for certain
sign types.

including future land use map updates and data analyses, density studies, and policy
updates. He also prepares Land Development Code updates for municipal clients
focused on modernizing local regulations, including parking requirements, PUD

SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
GIS SUPPORT FOR RESIDENTIAL GROWTH FORECAST*
St. Johns County, FL
Patrick served as GIS Technician for the Growth Management
Department, and assisted planners and decision-makers on
evaluating where growth options could occur, and where
approved residential housing is occurring but yet to be built.
GIS maps help visually display the varying densities of growth
that are forecast to occur. This information helped staff decide where future growth is
appropriate and where current sprawl is occurring.
GIS SUPPORT FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT*
St. Johns County, FL
Patrick served as GIS Technician for the Growth Management
Department. Through GIS analysis and mapping, he helped
calculate the land ownership and displayed that thematically within
a geographic boundary. Color coding showed major landowners
in the County. By understanding who the majority landowners are
in certain areas and how much was owned by public versus private entities, this helped
County staff better plan for additional growth within these target submarkets.
FUTURE LAND USE ANALYSIS
Hendry County, FL
Patrick serves as the GIS Planner for this continuing services
contract with the County. He has assisted the Community
Planning Department in evaluating the establishment of future
land use categories, identifying areas with potential for projected
growth, and analyzing how the community can evolve by
examining current future land use elements and applying them elsewhere throughout the
County. For instance, analysis reveals that nearly 70 percent of County land is presently
designated for agriculture. However, given the high population growth projections,
RVi’s GIS analysis is instrumental in justifying the transition from agricultural to more
residential and mixed-use land use.

SOUTH MAIN - A COMPLETE STREET*
City of Gainesville, FL
Ryan served as Project Landscape Architect for the
rehabilitation of a 0.75-mile segment of South Main Street,
which previously served as a pass-through industrial corridor.
The City’s investment helped transition this thoroughfare into
a major southern gateway into downtown Gainesville. To meet the continuing need for
safe connectivity and walkability within an area that was designed for industrial use, the
design proposed traffic calming techniques and enhanced bike lanes and pedestrian
walkways. This street has experienced a significant rise in public and private investment
over the past six years, and the re-envisioning of the corridor was key to creating safe
and accessible pedestrian, bike and vehicular accommodations.

ORANGE COUNTY STATE OF THE WETLANDS ASSESSMENT
Orange County, FL
This project utilized remote sensing, field validation, and geospatial analysis techniques
to support the evaluation of Orange County’s wetland ordinances. AEI utilized current
and historical aerial, satellite, and Land Use Land Cover (LULC) data to compare
Orange County’s wetland extent in 1987 when they first passed a wetland protection
ordinance with the current distribution of wetlands. The extensive study first examined
the available published literature and white papers to thoroughly understand the
causes of wetland degradation, wetland protection Best Management Practices
(BMPs), and methodologies for assessing wetland conditions via remote sensing.
Field validation using a drone mounted (UAS) hyperspectral camera was performed to
verify the assessment using the Florida Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method. The
comprehensive assessment was summarized in a final report that outlined the trends in
wetland quality over time, provided ordinance recommendations, and identified potential
hot spots for protection. As Project Communicator, Dr. Souto presented the results of
this important study at various conferences and public speaking events to demonstrate
