Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
his checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up4o-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an upAo-date copy from the original Code and subsequent

sion.

opinion of the building official, the valuation of
building, alteration, structure, electrical, gas, me-
chanical or plumbing systems appears to be un-
derestimated on the application, permit shall be
denied, unless the applicant can show detailed
estimates which meet the approval of the building
official. Permit valuations shall include total cost,
such as electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing equip-
ment and other systems, including materials and
labor. The permit valuation may be calculated
using the latest Building Valuation Data pub-
lished by the Southern Building Code Congress

fied in accordance to Chapter 468, Florida Stat-
utes.

cluded in his order if it approves a
presumptive vested rights special use
permit in reliance thereon.
(c) Common law vested rights.
(1) Applicants who do not qualify for a pre-
sumptive vested rights special use permit
shall be entitled to a common law vested
rights special use permit if they can prove
the following:
a. Prior to the plan adoption date, there
was a valid, unexpired act or omis-
sion of a government agency upon
which the applicant relied; and
b. The applicant's reliance was reason-
able and in good faith; and
c. The applicant, in reliance upon the
valid, unexpired act of government,
has made a substantial change in
position or has incurred extensive
obligations or expenses; and
d. It would be inequitable, unjust or
fundamentally unfair to destroy the
rights acquired by the applicant by
means of the government's act or
omission.
(2) The purchase of property in reliance on
then existing zoning, without more, shall
not vest the purchaser's right to develop
in accordance with said zoning.
(3) The following are not considered develop-
ment expenditures or obligations in and

Sec. 9-404. Limitations on determination of
vested rights.
(a) Except where a longer term is stated in the
vested rights special use permit, upon the expira-
tion of five (5) years after the issuance of a vested
rights special use permit, the issuance of devel-
opment permits for the property subject to the
vested rights special use permit shall be subject to
the requirements of the comprehensive plan and
implementing land development regulations. A
term longer than five (5) years may be approved
based on a reasonable schedule for completing the
development being vested. The city may impose
reasonable conditions on vested rights special use
permits, or extensions of same, to ensure that the
vested development is continuing in good faith.
(b) The applicant or his successor may request
an extension of the five-year period, which must
be filed not less than ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of said time period. Such a request
shall be scheduled for hearing by the city commis-
sion within thirty (30) days after it is filed. The
city may grant extensions for such additional
periods as it deems appropriate to avoid undue
hardship to the applicant, provided the applicant
has commenced physical development of the prop-
erty and is continuing in good faith with develop-
ment of the vested plan, or has been precluded
from doing so by extraordinary circumstances
beyond his control. For purposes of this article,
the phrase "continuing in good faith" shall mean:
(1) Receipt by the applicant or his successor
of permits or approvals from the city or
other governmental entity or agency con-
sistent with the timely and orderly pro-
gression toward completion of the vested
development; or
(2) Other evidence of continued reliance and
expenditures by the applicant in pursuit
of the completion of the vested develop-
ment.
(c) All development subject to a vested rights
special use permit must be consistent with the
terms of the development approval(s) upon which
the special use permit was based. Any substantial
deviation from a prior approval, except a devia-
tion required by governmental action, shall cause
the development involved to be subject to the

comprehensive plan and implementing land de-
velopment regulations. The city manager shall
determine whether a proposed change is a sub-
stantial deviation, which is defined for purposes
of this article as follows:
(1) Any change to add a new land use or to
change the vested mix of land uses that
alters the basic character of the vested
development; or
(2) Any change in density or intensity of use
that would increase the development's
impacts on those public facilities subject
to concurrency by more than five (5) per-
cent; or
(3) Any change in access to the project that

portation impacts by more than five (5)
percent on any road subject to concur-
rency unless the access change would
result in an overall improvement to the
transportation network.
A permittee may appeal a substantial devia-
tion determination to the city commission pro-
vided such appeal is filed within ten (10) days
after the date the written determination is mailed
to the permittee.
(d) A change that is not a substantial deviation
shall not divert vested rights.
(e) A vested rights special use permit shall
apply to the land and is therefore transferable
from owner to owner of the land subject to the
permit.
(f) Development that is granted a vested rights
special use permit shall remain subject to the
requirements of the comprehensive plan and im-
plementing land development regulations except
to the extent that the application of such require-
ments would result in the denial of.

titlements approved in the development
order or orders on which the vested rights

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this article to
the contrary, a vested rights special use permit
may be revoked by the city commission upon a
showing by the city that failure to revoke the
permit will result in a peril to the health, safety or
general welfare of the residents of the city un-
known at the time of the permit's approval. The

PROCEDURE
DIVISION 1. OVERVIEW AND EXEMPTIONS
Sec. 9-500. Purpose of concurrency evalua-
tion.
The purpose of this article is to implement the
concurrency provisions of the city's growth man-
agement policies consistent with the provisions of
Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and appli-
cable administrative rules. It is also the purpose
of this article to establish an ongoing concurrency
evaluation system which ensures that public fa-
cilities and services needed to support develop-
ment are available concurrent with the impacts of
such development and that development orders
and permits are issued in a manner that will not
result in a reduction in the levels of service below
the adopted level of service standards adopted by
the city for public facilities and services. The
concurrency evaluation system shall measure the
potential impact of any proposal for a develop-
ment permit or order upon the established mini-
mum acceptable levels of service for sanitary
sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks
and recreation, and transportation facilities, un-
less the development permit or order is exempt
from the concurrency review requirements of this
LAND DEVELOPMENT
article. 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 avail-
able to serve the proposed development as deter-
mined by the concurrency evaluation set forth in
this article.

period prior to the date of application for concur-
rency evaluation. Concurrency credit shall be
given for the previous use that was actively main-
tained on the site during the six (6) month period
prior to the date of application for concurrency
evaluation. If the proposed change, redevelop-
ment 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 concur-
rency credit shall be issued and the proposed use
shall be subject to concurrency evaluation.
(b) The impact of such change, redevelopment
or modification shall be measured in terms of
level of service criteria including, but not limited
to, vehicular trips per day, estimated increases in
water and sewer flows, increases in resident pop-
ulation, increases in on -site impervious surfaces,
and estimated solid waste generation.
(c) The burden is on the applicant to provide
reasonably sufficient evidence that the previous
use has been actively maintained on the site
during the six (6) month period prior to the date of
application for the concurrency evaluation. Such
evidence may include utility records, records re-

and six -tenths (1.6) acres per one thou-
sand (1,000) population. In performing
the concurrency evaluation for commu-
nity parks for a proposed residential de-
velopment, the development review com-
mittee shall determine the number of
acres of community parkland which would
be necessary to serve the number of
citywide dwelling units existing or ap-
proved prior to the development plus the
number of proposed new dwelling units. If
the development satisfies the level of ser-
vice standards for community parkland,
then the development shall be deemed
concurrent for community parks and a
certificate shall be issued consistent with
section 9-533 of this article. If a residen-
tial 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 impact fee, as estab-
lished by the city commission by resolu-
tion. All such fees collected shall be allo-
cated and appropriated to the city's
recreation budget to be expended to en-
hance the city's community parks system
with priority given to expend such funds
to acquire parkland.
(2) The parks and recreation level of service
standards for neighborhood parks shall
be based on the application of the level 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 rec-

not be provided while meeting the level of
service standards 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 can not provide the re-

review committee shall permit the devel-
oper to satisfy the parks and recreation
standard by providing a combination of
on -site and off -site parkland and a fair

mission by resolution. In such cases, the

the development satisfies the level of ser-
vice for parks and recreation, a certificate
shall be issued consistent with section
9-533 of this article, with the condition
that the necessary parkland and recre-
ational services (including any impact fees)
shall be in place or paid when the impacts
of the development occur or shall be guar-
anteed to be in place through an enforce-
able development order or agreement not
more than one (1) year after the issuance
of a certificate of occupancy or its func-
tional equivalent.
(3) For purposes of determining levels of ser-
vice for parks and recreation facilities
within the city under this section, the
term "parkland" shall mean a public or
of la; 'u that .� dc:l.catcd
exclusively set aside as a neighborhood or
community recreational area including,
but not limited to, a playground, playing
field, swimming pool, tennis court, fishing
hole or pier, nature trail, landscaped city
square or green for the pursuit of leisure
activities, stadium, conservation area suit-
able for passive recreation, water sport
area, or other similar type areas suitable
for bona fide recreational activities. A
storm water retention pond shall not be
considered parkland unless the retention
pond includes uplands suitable for bona
fide recreational activities or incorporated
by design into a bona fide recreational
area (e.g., a place to install a water foun-
tain and littoral plantings in a park like
setting). If a storm water retention pond
is used for parkland purposes, the pond
shall include abutting uplands for park
purposes at least equal to the size of the
pond and the pond shall not be fenced and
shall be designed in a safe manner to
protect the public (e.g., gradual pond
slopes). All parkland required by this ar-
ticle shall be a minimum of one-half (.5)
acre and have a minimum width and
length of one hundred twenty-five (125)
feet unless a lesser width or length is
approved by the city commission by vari-
ance. When considering a variance, the
city commission shall consider whether

area with the surrounding neighborhood.

(Ord. No. 751, § I, 11-22-99; Ord. No. 200142, § 2,
7-9-01)
Sec. 18-28. Collection by seller.
(a) It shall be the duty of every seller of elec-
tricity, metered or bottled gas (natural, liquefied
or manufactured), and water service service within
the city to collect from the purchaser, for the use
of the city, the tax levied under section 18-26(a),
at the time of collecting the charge therefor, and

city business day, then on or before the first city
business day that is not also a legal holiday,
following the twentieth day of the month, unto
the city, all such taxes levied and collected during
the preceding calendar month. The date of receipt
of such taxes by the city will be the date of
postmark, or if by electronic transfer, the date
received by the city's primary bank as indicated
on the city's bank statement. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this section, in the event
WINTER SPRINGS CODE
the total amount of tax anticipated to be collected
within a calendar quarter does not exceed one
hundred twenty dollars ($120.00), the seller of
such service may, with the authorization of the
city, remit the taxes collected during such calen-
dar quarter to the city quarterly. In such case, the
tax shall be due on or before the twentieth day of
the month following the end of the calendar
quarter in which the taxes were collected. The
term "return" as used in this section, means the
supporting documentation submitted periodically
in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
and to be accompanied by the tax remittance, if

minimum shall indicate:
(1) The name and address of the seller; and
(2) The time period covered with respect to
the particular return being filed; and
(3) The amount (in U.S. dollars) of the reve-
nue collected from the sale of the taxable
service; and
(4) The amount (in U.S. dollars) of any collec-
tion allowance taken in accordance with
Florida law; and
(5) The amount (in U.S. dollars) of tax being

which is the subject of the particular
return being filed; and

person authorized by the seller to respond
to inquiries from the city concerning how
the seller is administering and collecting
the tax.
Any seller remitting the tax by electronic transfer
must nevertheless send periodic returns to the
city. It shall be unlawful for any seller to collect
for any such service without at the same time
collecting the tax hereby levied with respect to
such sales, unless such seller shall elect to as-
sume and pay such tax without collecting the
same from the purchaser. Any seller failing to
collect such tax at the time of collecting for any
such service, where the seller has not elected to
assume and pay such tax, shall be liable to the
city for the amount of such tax in like manner as
if the same had actually been paid to the seller,
Supp. No. 2 1160

all suit actions and to take all proceedings in the
name of the city as may be necessary for the
recovery of such tax; provided, however, that the

upon uncollected bills. If any purchaser shall fail,
neglect, or refuse to pay for any such service,
including the tax hereby imposed, the seller shall
have the right and is hereby authorized and
empowered to immediately discontinue further
service to such purchaser until the same is paid in
fuIle provided, however, that in the case that bills
for the use of any of the above services rendered
by the utilities are rendered at any other date
than the first of the month, the utility company
shall be allowed twenty (20) days from the date
the bill is rendered for the collection and payment
of the tax to the city. Sellers may remit by
hand -delivery or postal service to 1126 East State
Road 434, Winter Springs, Florida 32708, or by
electronic transfer to the city's primary bank.

munications services, within the city to collect
from the purchaser, for the use of the city, the tax
levied under section 18-26(b), and to remit such
tax in accordance with Chapter 202, Florida Stat-
utes (2000), as may be amended.

Sec. 18-29. Seller's records.
(a) Each and every seller of electricity, me-
tered or bottled gas (natural, liquefied or manu-
factured), and water service, shall keep at its
principal place of business a complete record
showing all sales in the city of such commodities
or service, which records shall show the price
charged upon each sale, the date thereof, the date
of payment, the amount of utility taxes charged
upon each sale, the date such utility tax was
remitted to the city, the period of time covered by
such remittance and other related information
that may be required to verify proper collection

administration of the provisions of this chapter,
the city may, where possible and practical, con-
TAXATION
duct a periodic audit of each sales records of all
businesses in connection with which the tax is
imposed under this chapter. Failure to conduct
such an audit will not eliminate the liability of the
seller for collection and remittance of the tax.
Pursuant to section 166.234, Florida Statutes, the
city may, during the seller's normal business
hours at the official location of the seller's books
and records, audit the records of any seller of a
service that is taxable by the city under section
166.231 or 166.232, Florida Statutes, for the pur-
poses of ascertaining whether taxable services
have been provided or the correctness of any
return that has been filed or payment that has
been made, if the city's power to assess tax or
grant a refund is not barred by the applicable
limitations period. Each such seller must provide
to the city, upon sixty (60) days written notice of
intent to audit from the city, access to applicable
records for such service, except an extension of
this sixty-day period must be granted if reason-
ably requested by the seller. The seller may at its
option waive the sixty-day notice requirement. If
either the city or the seller requires an additional
extension, it must give notice to the other no less
than thirty (30) days before the existing extension
expires, except in cases of bona fide emergency or
waiver of the notice requirement by the other
party. In an audit, the seller is liable only for its
taxable accounts collected which correspond to
the information provided to it by the city under
section 166.233(3), Florida Statutes. As used in
this section "applicable records" means records
kept in the ordinary course of business which
establish the collection and remittance of taxes
due. Such applicable records may be provided to
the city on an electronic medium if agreed to by
the seller and the city. In accordance with section
166.231(9)(c), Florida Statutes, any information
received by the city or its agent in connection with
such audit is confidential and exempt from the
provisions of section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes.
(b) Each and every seller of communications
services within the city shall maintain such records
as is required by Chapter 202, Florida Statutes
(2000), as may be amended, and shall be subject
to all auditing procedures provided for within
Chapter 202, Florida Statutes (2000).

Co 18-30. Interest and penalties.
(a) Any seller of electricity, metered or bottled
gas (natural, liquefied or manufactured), or water
service failing to remit to the city on or before the
twentieth day of each calendar month or quarter,
as applicable, or if the twentieth day is either a
legal holiday or is not a city business day, then on
or before the first city business day, that is not
also a legal holiday, following the twentieth day of
the month or quarter, as applicable, all such taxes
levied and collected during the proceeding tax
period shall be liable for interest on the unpaid
amount of tax at the rate of one (1) percent per
month from the date the tax was due until paid.
In addition, penalties will be assessed at a rate of
five (5) percent per month of the delinquent tax,
not to exceed a total penalty of twenty-five (25)
percent, except that in no event will the penalty
for failure to file a return be less that fifteen
dollars ($15.00). In the case of a fraudulent return
or a willful intent to evade payment of the tax, the
seller making such fraudulent return or willfully
attempting to evade payment of the tax, shall be
liable for a specific penalty of one hundred (100)
percent of the tax. Interest and penalties shall be
computed on the net tax due after application of
any overpayments. The interest and penalties
shall accrue from the due date until the date such
taxes are paid; provided, however, that the city
may settle or compromise any interest due pur-
suant to this section as is reasonable under the
circumstances.
(b) The city is entitled to and may assess
against any seller not complying with any provi-
sion of this chapter, a fee based upon the actual
costs incurred by the city in collecting the tax or
the information due.

when rendered. If payment is not received by the
city in full within twenty (20) days from the date
of mailing, the unpaid amount is to be considered
to be in arrears and shall be considered delin-
quent. If there is an arrearage amount due when
the next monthly bill is printed, a late fee will be
assessed at the rate of five (5) percent per month
on the arrearage amount or five dollars ($5.00),
whichever amount is greater. The customer shall
be notified of the delinquent amount along with
the late fee charges by reference in the next
month's billing or specific notification as consid-
ered necessary by the city manager or his desig-
nee. If the entire bill is not paid in full within ten
(10) days from the date of mailing of the second
bill, service shall be discontinued. A fee of twenty
dollars ($20.00) shall be assessed to reinstate
service, and a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) shall
be assessed for reinstallment of a meter if re-
moved for nonpayment or unable to lock -off. A fee
of twenty dollars ($20.00) shall be assessed for
each check returned for insufficient funds or
closed account. Any customer who has two (2)
returned checks within a six-month period will be
required to make payment in cash or money
order.

§ 19-98.5
(a) Any user who feels their monthly bill for
water and sewer service is unjust and inequitable
may make written application to the city manager
or his designee requesting a review of their monthly
bill within ten (10) days after the date of render-
ing the bill by the city. The written request shall,
at a minimum, show the basis of the adjustment,
including the actual or estimated average flow of
the water and sewer use in comparison to the
amount upon which the charge is based and
include a statement explaining the methods used
in calculating the measurements or estimates for
the appeal.
(b) The city manager or his designee shall
review the request and, if substantiated, the
monthly bill for that user shall be recomputed
based on the revised flow data and the new charge
shall be adjusted on the next bill. The decision of
the city manager may be appealed to the city
commission whose decision shall be final and
binding.

(a) Definitions: Except as otherwise provided
for in this Resolution, all definitions reflected in
Chapter 19 entitled "Utilities" are applicable to
the provisions of this policy.
(1) Unexplained excessive use shall mean the
amount of potable water use metered by
the city at an individual customer's premise

considered as being customary for that
account and is not known as to why the

criteria reflected in this policy.
(2) Individually metered residential service
shall refer to those water accounts classi-
fied as being residential whose domestic
water requirements are individually me-
tered by the city. If the applicable cus-
tomer has a single water meter that reg-
isters both domestic and irrigation water
consumption, the measured water con-
sumption associated with this meter will
be considered as domestic water use. If

city's flow test (whereby the results would
not result in a change of general accuracy
of the meter), the applicant will be respon-
sible for the actual cost of such tests. The
actual cost is the amount invoiced by the
third party to the city for the performance
of the additional flow test and will not
include any costs or markup for adnums-
tration by the city. If the test results
performed by the third party indicate that
the meter is not registering within the
accuracy limits in accordance with city
policy, the meter will be considered as
being inaccurate and the bill recalcula-
tion policy of the city will be performed.
(5) To the extent that the applicant does not
accept the results of the unexplained ex-
cessive use credit as determined by the
city under this policy, then the entire
amount as initially billed by the city for
utility service shall be due and payable in
accordance with the provisions of the rate
ordinance. The applicant shall have the
right to appeal the utility bill in accor-
dance with the provisions of the rate
ordinance. Any reductions in the amount
billed which may be due to the applicant
as a result of the appeal of utility bill will
be credited by the city in the next imme-
diate bill rendered to the applicant after
the appeal has been finalized.
(g) Limitations on adjustment eligibility and
other miscellaneous provisions:
(1) No unexplained excessive use credit to an
applicant's utility bill determined in ac-
cordance with this policy will be permit-
ted more than once a year or no more than
twice within ten (10) years. No unex-
plained excessive use credit will extend
beyond one (1) billing period.
(2) If an applicant accepts the unexplained
excessive use credit as determined by the
city and the credit is applied to the
applicant's monthly utility bill, the appli-
cant will waive the right to subsequently
appeal the said utility bill in accordance
with the provisions of the rate ordinance.
