City of Winter Springs Ordinance No. 2009 -08 Page 3 of 3 EXHIBIT 'A' FUTURE LAND USE MAP (FLUM) - SUMMARY OF CHANGES INCLUDING JUSTIFCATION AND AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES Several changes to the Future Land Use Map are proposed as administrative amendments. Proposed Future Land Use designation to: High Density Residential- Uolf Side L Alas The Golf Side Villas development is a corrective land use action that was approved by Ordinance 604 in 1995, but was never implemented on the Future Lased Use Map to "High Density Residential". The current Future Land Use Map shows this development with a "Recreation and Open Space" designation. The change will not increase the existing demand upon public facilities, as the land is already developed and being serviced. The proposed change is compatible with the adjacent properties and with the Future Land Use element Objectives and Policies. (see map illustration of the existing use and proposed future land use at the end of this exhibit) Rural Residential- Lot 91 & 93 of Tirsccnvilla U~rit 13 This is an additional corrective action which includes two lots platted in 1983 and subsequently developed which are proposed to be identified with a Rural Residential Future Land Use designation on the Future Land Use Map. The current Future Land Use Map shows these two lots with a "Conservation" designation. The change will not increase the existing demand upon public facilities, as the land is already developed and being serviced. The proposed change is compatible with the adjacent properties and with the Future Land Use element Objectives and Policies. (see map illustration of the existing use and proposed future land use at the end of this exhibit) Recreation and Open Space- Diane 's Park; Tot•caso Pcn•k; po~tiorzs of the FPc~L Easement bet~~~eey~ Moss Rd. ~~~est to the City Liz??1tS; Moss Pack, Foxmoor Unit 2 & 3 Opef~ Space; Frzrit~~~ood Park; and Satrz Smith Park Most of the proposed Future Land Use Map changes are to City-owned property that are currently in use as City parks but that were either never identified with a Recreation and Open Space Future Land Use designation on the Future Land Use Map (Diane's Park, Torcaso Park, Fi-uitwood Park, Foxmoor Unit 2 Open Space &Foxmoor Unit 3 Open Space) or identified as a smaller area than the existing park acreage (Sam Snuth Park and Moss Rd. Park). The change will not increase the existing demand upon public facilities, as the land is already developed and being serviced. The proposed change is compatible with the adjacent properties and with the Future Land Use element Objectives and Policies. (see map illustration of the existing use and proposed future land use at the end of this exhibit) Several City-owned parcels within the FP&L corridor are proposed for the beginnings of a larger trail network. The current Future Land Use Map shows these areas having a designation of a "Low Density Residential", "Medium Density Residential", "Public/Semi-Public", or "Commercial" designation. The spreadsheet which follows identifies the current Future Land Use designation of each parcel.

SUMMARY Winter Springs' growth since the 1 950's has predominantly been accomplished through expansion of land area through annexation of adjacent developing land. By the 1 970's, the City more than doubled its land mass with the annexation of the Tuscawilla PUD. Over the last ten years, the City's land mass increased by only 7%. This reduction in the rate of land expansion has also been reflected in the rate of population growth- Population growth remained steady, but slowed over the last five years (2002-20071 to half the rate experienced in the prior five year period, despite the housing boom. Additionally, growth in population is expected to show a substantial slowing in 2008, due to the subprime mortgage crisis effectively halting residential construction. However, once this crisis is over, the City should see population growth resuming to 2007 rates and continuing for the next decade at a steady rate and concentrated primarily in the Town Center. Growth rates will continue to slow during the last half of the planning~eriod until the Citx reaches buildout. Updated population projections are important in ensuring that the City is able to properly plan for its growth, such as infrastructure and service provision. The most comprehensive source for statistically accurate information on the City of Winter Springs is the decennial Census of Population and Housing conducted every 10 years by the federal government. In Florida, the Census also serves as the base for the annual population estimates prepared by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR). The most recent Census and BEBR population figures for the City of Winter Springs are shown in Table P-1 .

Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census; University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research; Sievers 8~ Associates P-1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND METHODOLOGY Population growth in the City of Winter Springs was extremely high during the 1970's and 1980's, but has slowed somewhat since 1990. Between 1990 and 2000, the City's population _grew from 22,151 to 30,860, representing a 39.3% increase. Comparing information from the 1990 Census and 2000 Census in percentage terms also provides insight into the changing demographics of the City as the growth rate decreases. With the City now approaching its ultimate built-out population, historic growth rates are only one factor to take into consideration in the development of updated population projections. Neighboring cities, Lake Jesup, and unincorporated areas consisting of developed areas and conservation lands encircle the City. The remaining developable acreage in the City is somewhat limited, with the Town Center and the Greeneway Interchange District providing the largest future development areas. Nearly 30 parcels exist in enclave areas, but these total less than 400 acres. It is anticipated that the majority of residential development in the City through the end of the planning horizon will take place in the Town Center. As can be seen from the data in Table P-1 , the City of Winter Springs growth rates have decreased each decade. The current decade is no exception as the annual growth rate during, the first six years is 1.6%. less than half of the 3.4% annual growth rate experienced in the 1990's. B. METHODOLOGIES The previous population projections for the City were prepared in 2001 using information from the 2000 Census. Subsequent to the development of those proiections, the Census Bureau made a correction to the 2000 population figure, dro~pinG it from 31,666 to 30,860 (typically, these types of corrections are made when it is determined that the Census Bureau erroneously allocated one or more housing units to the wrong jurisdiction). The consequence of this correction is that where it had previously been thought that the City grew 43.0% between 1990 and 2000, in reality the growth rate was 39.3%. In terms of annual Growth, the average growth rate during the 1990's was 3.4%, not 3.6% as originally believed. The 2001 Comprehensive Plan projected a 2005 population of 33,399 which compares very favorably with the 2005 BEBR estimate of 33,321. Annexations since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan have not added a significant amount of acreage to the City limits. With less than 400 acres of enclaves remaininG and the anticipation that the areas annexed during each 5- year period will be consistent with recent rates of annexation, no adjustments for annexation are made in the methodologies used in this update. The population projection methodologies most appropriate for municipalities are generally (11 ratio methodologies and (2~ extrapolation techniques. Both types of techniques were considered for the City of Winter Springs population projections update. 1. Ratio Methodologies Although many types of ratio methodologies exist, many of them involve types of data that are not readily available at the municipal level. However, one appropriate ratio methodology for municipal population projections involves comparing the municipal population to the population of its county as a whole. For simplicity, the actual ratio max not be calculated as such, but may be represented by the percentage of the total county population that is accounted for by the City's population. P-2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND METHODOLOGY As shown in Table P-2, the percentage of total Seminole County population accounted for by the City of Winter Springs rose considerably between 1 970 and 1 990 with continued, but growth was somewhat slower between 1 990 and 2000. Table P - 2: Winter Springs / Seminole County Population Comparison Year Winter Springs Population Seminole County Population Percent of County Population 1960 609 54,947 1.1 1970 1,161 83,692 1.4 1975 3,467 135.600 2.6 1980 10,350 179,752 5.8 1985 15,315 226.304 6.8 1990 22,151 287,521 7.7 1995 25,673 324,100 7.9 2000 30,860 365,199 8.5 2005 33,321 41 1,744 8.1 2006 33,971 420,667 8.1 2007 34,433 425,698 8.1 2008 34,390 Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census; University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research; Sievers & Associates From the table (which uses data from the 2001 Comprehensive Plan supplemented b more recent figures), it can be seen that while the percentage of Seminole County residents who reside in Winter Springs rose consistently for decades, that trend has recently leveled off as new acreage annexed into the City has also declined. In the years ahead, Winter Springs will likely continue to make up an increasing smaller percentage of Seminole County's overall population growth. With this potential shift and other changes in population trends, extrapolation methodologies may be more appropriate for the development of updated population projections for Winter Springs. 2. Extrapolation Methodologies Extrapolation methodoloaies often produce Good population proiections as then are based on current trends continuing into the future. However, it is important to examine the trends to determine that they are likely to continue. A review of growth rates experienced by the City led to the conclusion that using data prior to the year 2000 would lead to proiections that were likely to be too high based on more recent growth rates and the aL?proaching buildout of the City. As typically occurs when a city has grown rapidly, the rate of Growth will decline over time. For example, while it was possible in the 1 970's for the City of Winter Springs population to increase more than 800% in one decade, such a growth rate now would result in a 2017 population of over 300,000. clearly not a realistic possibility. Even including data from the 1 990's in the trend is likely to produce figures that would be too high. The annual growth rate for the past five years is substantially less than the growth in 2000-2001, even though it was a period of P-3 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND METHODOLOGY substantial residential growth around the State. The 2002-2007 period was selected as the base for the extrapolations, although growth has declined dramatically since 2007. Two extrapolations were conducted - an arithmetic extrapolation and a geometric extrapolation. The arithmetic extrapolation uses a constant numerical change in growth - the City of Winter Springs added an average of approximately 470 residents per year so far during this decade, so the arithmetic extrapolation population projection assumes that 470 additional residents will be added each year in the future. The geometric extrapolation uses a constant percentage change in Growth through 2015 and then a reduced percentage change that remains constant from 2015 through 2030. For 2002- 2007 growth has averaged 1.36% annually, so the geometric extrapolation population projection assumes that the City's population will continue to prow at a 1.36% rate through 2015 and at a 1 .0% rate from 2015 through the end of the planning horizon. The projections produced by these two techniques appear in Table P-3 and Table P-4. As can be seen by comparing the tables, while the geometric projections exceed the arithmetic projections through 2015, the lower geometric percentage chance from 2015 through 2030 results in a lower population projection for the geometric extrapolation for the planning horizon. The arithmetic extrapolation produces a 2030 projection that is 1 .6% higher than the 2030 projection from the geometric extrapolation.

Recommended Methodology Due to the buildout of the City anticipated during the next few decades, it is recommended that the geometric extrapolation projections be used as the updated P-4 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND METHODOLOGY Comprehensive Plan population projections. Usina these projections, it is anticipated that the City of Winter Springs will see its population prow from slightly less than 34,000 people in 2006 to more than 44,500 residents in 2030, a 31.1 % increase. These figures are lower than corresponding figures from the Shimberq Center for Affordable Housing (Shimberg). The City's projections (Table P-5) indicate that the City will approach buildout in 2030 with a population of approximately 45,000. This figure was derived based on vacant land availability, environmental constraints, future land use designation, and expected densities. Table P - 5: Recommended Population Projections Year Population 2010 35,857 2015 38,363 2020 40,319 2025 42,376 2030 44,538 Source: Winter Sprinas, 2007 Based on these methodologies, the City finds the Shimberg population projections to be too high. Table P-6 illustrates the City's Recommended Population Forecast in comparison to the Shimberq Forecast.

City of Winter Springs; Sievers & Associates However, the Shimberg is an excellent resource for data related to housing types and demographics and is useful in assessing the detailed distributions across categories (e.cl age, income), needed as part of the data and analysis of the Housing Element. For this reason, the Shimberg data is utilized within the Housing Element as a resource, even though the City disagrees with the Shimberg~opulation forecasts. P-5 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND METHODOLOGY 4. Seasonal Population Proiections Seasonal population needs to be taken into account in planning service provision to residents. A review of records from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation showed that the City of Winter Springs currently does not have any hotels, motels, transient apartments, rooming houses, bed and breakfast establishments, resort condominiums, or resort dwellings. No seasonal population attributable to those types of units needs to be calculated. Published 2000 Census of Population and Housing reports show 87 housing units in the City of Winter Springs that were for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, but do not provide a breakdown by type of unit. It should be noted that seasonal residents represent well under 1 % of the permanent population of the City. Using the year 2000 figure for the City of 2.63 persons per household, the seasonal population for the City is 229 individuals for the year 2000. Assuming that the ratio of permanent residents to seasonal residents remains the same through the end of the planning horizon, it is possible to project the seasonal population for future years. These projections of the seasonal population are shown in Table P-6.

INTRODUCTION FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT This is the year of the City's 50Th anniversary. It is an important milestone and represents a new era for the City, as it transitions toward greater sustainabilit~ Located in the heart of central Florida, Winter Springs has a growina economy, a professional workforce, and offers an excellent living environment. The City is a sought after location for families and young professionals with exceptional schools, nationally recognized parks, low crime rates, and beautifully landscaped streets. It has easy vehicular access to the S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressway~Central Florida Greeneway) and linkage to area airports and the greater Orlando metro area. In 2007, the City was honored by Money Magazine, with the designation of "2nd Best City in Florida" and the "31st Best City in the U.S. to live". In 2006, the City was designated "#1 Best City in the United States in which to purchase a home" by MSN Advisory Services. Emphasis on the integration of land use with transportation systems will occur and by 2030, the City will likely reach build-out of its vacant lands. During this transition period, the City will experience the completion of its two strategically located districts- the Town Center District and the Greeneway Interchange District. The Town Center is planned to develop into a blend of business and employment, entertainment, retail, and residential uses and the Greeneway Interchange District is planned to develop with target industry based employment in conjunction with the regional SeminoleWAY initiative. -ri_..._.,._.__...._. „c ~i__. ~_,~,.__. r ,.,,~ r-_._ ~i_...._..,~ The Future Land Use Element ~=~ designates future - -~ land use patterns,-~rrc~ densities,, and intensities of land uses-ter ~~:~ ---',~ ~', ---~" ' ~` to accommodate balanced and sustainable Growth for the City's projected population~~ s~~.

The Existing Land Use Map, (Map I-3~ illustrates the location and distribution of these land uses. As required by Rule 9-J5, F.A.C., the Map also displays existing land uses within County enclaves and in unincorporated parcels at the City's fringe. A tabulation of the acreage of each land use within the City's boundaries is included in Table I-1 . I-32 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT A description of the physical features found in the City, such as wetlands, soils and other natural resources that impact the character of the City follows. Knowledge of these features is especially useful in analyzing the development potential of the City's remaining vacant lands. Population projections are presented, and issues related to growth management are discussed. The appropriate location for future uses are described, and densities and intensities are established for each. The Future Land Use Map - 2030, (Map I-1) indicates the proposed location and distribution of land uses within the City's current boundaries, through the near 2030. ~e The Future Land Use Map - 2030 and associated policies and definitions will guide the review and permitting of new development. ,... _ , . General History Since WWII, the United States has experienced great wealth building. This prosperity has lead to the proliferation of automobiles and expanded housing opportunities on the fringe of cities. The "American Dream" of owning your own home in the suburbs has been realized by many. The suburbs were idealized as a safe haven for raising a family. All across America, people choose the suburban lifestyle, believing that it provided the highest quality of life available. While the breadwinner of the family was relegated to a short commute into Orlando during the week, the suburban lifestyle was considered a respite to return to and a place where the family could enjoy all the amenities associated with "country" living, such as open space, clean air, and low crime. Additionally, and most importantly, the suburban model offered an attractive alternative to city living. All across America, people choose the suburban lifestyle, believing that it provided the highest quality of life available. And perhaps it did- because this was also a time when the automobile was still considered a luxury item. It was during this time that the Village of North Orlando (now known as the City of Winter Springy was founded 20 miles north of Orlando in south-central Seminole County, by a New York development company. Homes were marketed as "country estates" and could be purchased for as low as $20 down and $20 per month. The first residents numbered only 200 people. _ - _ - _ - ~~~7,.,.~1. ~`~-~,~~ ~~~. House Bill 2474, created the municipality of the Village of North Orlando on June 20, 1 959. North Orlando was the sixth municipality in Seminole County and the smallest, consisting of only 160-acres and was located on the west side of present day Winter Springs. The chief reason for the incorporation was to enable the developers to have control over the building and evolution of the village and to allow them to establish their own ordinances and regulations. The North Orlando Company also provided their own water and sewer utilities. North Orlando grew to 3,500 acres during the 1960's by additions primarily comprised of lands owned by a single developer. The first business to open was the North Orlando Super Market, in 1965 and in 1970, the population was only 1,161. In 1972, North Orlando#~ie-Ei#~r~ almost doubled its size with the annexation of a large 3,200 acre tract known as Tuscawilla, I-33 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT This expansion created the largest incorporated area in Seminole County In March 1972, a new city charter was drawn up and adopted in a city-wide election. New city officials were elected and on April 20, 1972, House Bill No. 3390 abolished the municipal government of the Village of North Orlando and established the municipality of the Citx of Winter Springs. The City of Winter Springs was incorporated on June 1 3, 1 972. During the period of 1998 to 2007, the City's boundaries continued to expand with the annexation of 602 acres, moving eastward past S.R. 417. This expansion was met with great opposition from Seminole County, the rural area (Black Hammock). residents, and the City of Oviedo. In 2006, due to a change in the City's political will, the City amended its code of ordinances to prohibit annexation of property located east of Deleon Street, effectively curbing the possibility for future sprawl. Additionally, the Future Land Use Element was amended to include a policy stating the same. This annexation boundary to the east along with the natural boundary of Lake Jesup to the north and the adjacent cities of Oviedo, Casselberry and Longwood, along its borders, limit the available land that can be annexed into the City in the future. The City currently includes 9.478 acres, or 14.8 square miles of area with an estimated population (2008) of 34,490 (source BEBR, 20081. It is expected that even with annexation of county enclaves, the City will still remain at approximately 1 5 square miles.

Winter Sprinas developed predominantly as a residential community, dependent upon the automobile for access to retail services and employment. Although strip commercial centers emerged along S.R. 434, the City lacked a center- a place that established an identity for the community and a place to come together. This desire for something more is evident in the following excerpt from the Citv's 1 990-2010 Comprehensive Plan: • Strengthen and diversify the City's tax base and provide employment opportunities for residents through the use of mixed use developments to include residential, commercial and recreational areas, coordinated in form and function, while retaining the family-oriented community environment. • Integrate the east and west sections of Winter Sprinas through land use changes and transportation improvements. "To integrate the two sides of town, the Winter Springs Loop Road has been planned to route resident to the new commercial and mixed use areas on the north part of town. By attracting employment centers and related commercial concerns, residents will have incentives to shorten their travel times by remaining in the city limits and suL?porting local enterprises." I-34 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Subsequently, in 1998, under the creative direction of Dover, Kohl & Partners town planning, Gibbs Planning Group, and Michael Design Associates and under the skillful leadership of a new city manager, Ron McLemore, the vision began to unfold through a series of charettes. These charettes were a collaborative effort which included Cit~policx makers, land owners, homeowner association representatives, developers, Seminole County staff, the Tourist Development Council, the Economic Development Council, and the Florida Department of Transportation. The development of the Town Center was desired to create a vibrant "downtown" heart to the suburban city. However, the Town Center is not just for those who live within it. As described by the consultant team, "the Town Center is to be a place where people can reside in a mix of single and multiple family dwellings, and also gather to shop, relax, recreate, be entertained, attend community events, and enjoy the natural beauty of lands located in the Town Center." The Town Center Master Plan is depicted on Map I-3. In the Town Center, the public realm is reclaimed as an amenity- for the public. Emphasis is given to the form and relationship of traditional streets, squares, and neighborhoods. Buildings are placed close to the street, framing the space as an outdoor room and parks and preen spaces are provided as neighborhood gathering spaces. Rather than maintaining~rivate property and fostering exclusivity, the Town Center invites the public in. "Cities are incomplete (and they do not feel or function like healthy cities) without centers... A traditional Town Center is the physical place where many basic needs of citizens are conveniently and tightly focused: sho~ping, working, governance, being, entertained, dwelling, and the arts all happened together in a Town Center because it is pragmatic to do so" {Dover, Kohl & Partners, 1998 Although the City has made great strides in establishing its Town Center, the economic downturn has halted its growth temporarily. However, over the next two decades, as the City approaches build-out, it will see the fruition of the Town Center and the Greeneway Interchange District. Of the City's total land area, only 8.8% remains vacant and developable. Areas with the largest consolidation of vacant developable parcels are the Greeneway Interchange District and the Town Center District. These two districts will provide the diversity and economic heart that the City is currently lacking. Pressures to redevelop older commercial areas of the City will also increase as vacant land becomes scarce.

EXISTING LAND USE DATA AND INVENTORY The development of a detailed Existing Land Use Map can reveal the City's success in implementing its Future Land Use Map - 2030 and answer the question, "How are we doing?" A direct correlation exists between the detail included in the Existing Land Use Map and the opportunity for analysis. The Existing Land Use Map (Map I-41 illustrates existing land uses as categorized by use, densit and intensity. This illustrative inventory can be further evaluated in tabular form by acreage, as included in Table I-1. Examination of both map and tabular data will reveal land use inconsistencies and highlight areas needing further attention and improvement. The Existing Land Use Map included herein is a snapshot in time. It depicts those uses occurring in February 2009, as verified through the property appraiser's data, aerial photography, building permit records, and field verification. Because land use is not stagnant, it is important that the City's Planning, Division continue to track these changes and continue to keep its data base current.m I-36 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 1. Existing Land Use Categories The land use categories-~ shown on the Existing Land Use Map are in accordance with the requirements set forth in Rule 9J-5.006 (1)(a), F_A_C. T`~ --~~~~~~ ter." '~~~--. However, additional detail is included beyond the minimum requirements for the purpose of analysis. The Existing Land Use Map also includes more detail and different categories than included in the Future Land Use Map - 2030. As a result, there is no direct correlation between the categories in each map. For example, the Existing Land Use Map does not include a "Town Center" category, because the Town Center designation allows for a wide variety of land uses. Therefore, the specific type of land use is identified on the Existing Land Use Map. Having the specific land use identified, allows the city to better analyze, "How are we doing in achieving our objectives?" Table I-1 lists each existing land use category and its~kr corresponding ~rr~acreage in March 2009n._ ~- - - - - - - As illustrated, several of these categories have little to no acreage associated with them. They are included to illustrate that the intensities and densities allowed (especially within the Town Center) have not been realized, to date. In order to achieve the vision of sustainable economic vitality within the Town Center, the City should require a minimum residential density, as well as higher intensity development. This can be achieved bx requiring buildings to have at least two floors, so that higher floor area ratios (as permitted) are realized. A definition of each existing land use category follows, as well as a brief description of existing conditions.

Density is associated with residential land uses because it also is a tool for calculating impacts to population growth. Intensity is the concentration of development activity on a parcel as measured by floor area ratio. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the gross floor area of a building divided by the total area of the site on which the building is located, expressed as a decimal number. FAR can be used to describe any land use with buildings, whereas density describes only residential land uses. The diagram which follows, illustrates three simple ways that a 1.0 FAR might be reached: one story covering the entire lot, 2 stories covering half the lot, or 4 stories covering a quarter of the lot. All result in the same FAR. Calculation of the FAR does not consider a maximum height for the structure. Buildings of equal FAR, can have significant differences in appearance depending upon the site, landscaping and architecture. Gross Floor Area is the total square footage of all levels within the surrounding walls of a building. r Si~l~ ~'a. ~~! The following are to be included in gross floor area for the purpose of computing floor area ratio: • Exterior walls (that is, thickness includedl; • Stairways (internal and external). elevators. escalators. and similar features: • Storage and mechanical rooms (internal or external): • Laundry rooms, closets, storage rooms, built-in cabinets and media niches: • Mezzanines and lofts; I-39 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • Porches, patios, and breezeways with a "solid" cover and enclosed by "solid" walls on more than two sides; • In single family and duplex residential uses, attached or detached garages and carports; and • Accessory buildings that are deemed habitable space, including, but not limited to quest houses and second units. • For vertical mixed use developments, the residential square footage is added to the commercial development to derive the total FAR. The following areas are to be excluded from gross floor area ratio for the purpose of computing floor area ratio: • Basement, underground parking, and attic spaces; • Porches, balconies, patios, breezeways, and decks (as well as overhangs, eaves, cantilevers, awnings and similar featuresl with a "solid" cover but not enclosed by "solid" walls on more than two sides; • Porches, balconies, patios, breezeways, decks and gardens which do not have a "solid" cover; • Parking structures and garages; or • Other uninhabitable space. a. Existing Residential Winter Springs was originally founded as a residential community and residential land use continues to dominate the developed acreage of the City. Winter Springs has a healthy diversity of residential housing options available that appeal to a wide range of age groups, income levels, and family sizes. Housing choices include everything from zero lot line single family detached homes to grand estates on five-acre parcels. Additionally, there are patio homes, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, manufactured homes, mobile homes, apartments, and a few adult congregate living facilities, and a few .garage apartments. There are no RV or recreational campgrounds, no transient housing, no time-sharing facilities, no seasonal units and no farm residences. Also, there are no assisted living facilities, adult family care homes, or adult day care centers within the city limits of Winter Springs and no motel or hotels. However, these uses would be classified as commercial uses rather than residential. Approximately 54% of the City's current housing stock was constructed during the period from 1 970 to 1990. A majority of that housing is included in planned unit developments with active homeowner associations. As of the 2000 Census, the average single family home was built in 1987. The majority of the City's housing, stock is in good condition. The Housing Element includes more detailed information on this topic. It should be the objective of the City to protect existing housing values and develop policies that result in the appreciation of existing neighborhoods. In addition, the objective of new development should be to contribute to favorable _guality of life conditions within the community, as well as to accommodate projected population growth. Growth for Winter Springs from 2000 to 2010 was I - 40 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT anticipated to occur at a slower rate than from 1990 to 2000, even prior to the recent decline in housing values and sales. The Existing Land Use Map illustrates seven (7) categories of residential uses, based on density and use. These are: Town Center Density (21.1 to 36 du~gross acres), High Density (9.1 to 21 du~gross acres), Medium Density (3.6 to 9 du~gross acresl, Mobile Homes (up to 9 du~gross acresl, Low Density (1.1 to 3.5 du~gross acres), Rural Residential (under 1 du~gross acre) and Home Owner Association (HOAI Common Areas (undevelopedl. Acreage for each is identified, except for HOA Common Areas, which are included in the acreage of the corresponding land use associated with the development. Together, these uses make up 52% of the City's total acreage. Single family is the most predominant housing type. A proper mix of different housing types and housing that accommodates different life styles helps to encourage the development of awell-balanced community. In 2000. more than 74% of the housing units were single family detached homes, nearly 6% percent were single family attached, .5% were duplexes, nearly 15% percent were multifamily units, and 4.5% were mobile homes. During the period of 1998 - 2003, single family detached units dominated the residential market in Winter Springs. However, after 2004, (except for a few custom homes) the market was dominated by townhouse and condominium construction. This was primarily the result of reduced land availability, increased housing prices, and support for higher density housing in the Town Center. It is anticipated that the City will continue to see a decrease in construction of single family detached units as the City nears build-out. In 2009, there were 4,423 developed residential acres within the City. Residential lands are primarily scattered throughout the City, with two exceptions. To the northwest, in the vicinity of U.S. 17-92, are 47.3 acres of Medium Density Residential. Additionally, there is one significant swath of Rural Residential land in the south central area of the City, adjacent to Dunmar Estates. This area is noted as having a rural character and is envisioned to remain as large equestrian parcels, even as infill occurs. The lower the density, the greater the acreage required to accommodate the residential use. Development of extremely low density residential uses within incorporated areas is considered a major contributor to urban sprawl and such inefficient land use patterns are now discouraged by the State of Florida. Vacant land or lots for single family homes within the City is available, but is minimal. As vacant land becomes increasingly scarce, the City will see more demand for higher density housing and for splitting larger lots. Current studies also indicate a trend among persons of the Generation X and Generation Y to locate in higher density housing located in activity centers. The Town Center District allows greater diversity in housing types than other areas of the City. Accessory dwelling units, such as garage apartments are allowed bx right and the Town Center has been identified as the area where the City's highest density of housing is appropriate. By right, residential density can be developed up to 36 du~gross acre. To date, less than one acre of land has been developed in the density range of 21.1 to 36 du~gross acre.

Existinq Town Center Vertical Mix In 1998, a master plan (Map I-3) was created for the Town Center, as collaborative effort which included City policy makers, land owners, homeowner association representatives, developers, Seminole County staff, the Tourist Development Council, the Economic Development Council, and the Florida Department of Transportation. The Town Center is based upon traditional neighborhood development (TND~ standards. The designation allows and encourages higher densities and intensities, as well as mixed use development, built on a pedestrian scale interconnected Arid of streets and blocks. The types of uses permitted within the Town Center include a variety of residential and nonresidential uses to encourage a mix of uses that is necessary for the economic viability of a city center. The Town Center is the only area within Winter Springs which allows a vertical mix of uses by right. To date, one building has been built which includes a vertical mix of uses. The Town Center is focused on the intersection of S.R. 434 and Tusl<awilla Road. Vic. Existinq Commercial Most commercial development in Winter Springs can be characterized as strip commercial including one-story buildings with corresponding low floor area ratios and surface parking fronting onto the major roadways. The majority of businesses in Winter Springs provide services and products to residents of the City and the immediate area. -_ ~< - -_ ~ ~ _ - _.. r„_a:~:,... ._~a _:...a.,._ ,,,..,. The typical commercial uses include retail stores, convenience stores, gas stations, professional offices, banks, personal services, and restaurants. Most commercial activity is located on or near S.R. 434, U.S. 17-92, S.R. 419 or the Oviedo Marketplace Mall, but there is also a small concentration of businesses grouped on Winter Springs Blvd in the Tuscawilla PUD. Additionally, there are a substantial number of home-based businesses. Major employers include Seminole County Public Schools, the City of Winter Springs, Publix Supermarket, Inwood Consulting Engineers and EZYield.com. e(:ommercial areas - . ~ .. are allowed to build up to a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of a.?n~~c~~~~<~~ ~~~ < ~-~ 0.50-r;~ With the development of the Town Center at S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Rd., the City is seeing increased diversification of its economy. The Town Center is intended for the most intensive commercial development in the City. Commercial areas in the I - 45 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Urban Central Business District (UCBDfTown Center) can build up to a maximum of 2.0 FAR. However, less than one-acre of the Town Center has developed with a FAR over .50. Analysis of development data indicates that to date, the Town Center is being under-developed. Although concessions were required initially to get development started, it will be necessary for higher intensity development to occur in the future, for the Town Center to succeed economically and to be the vibrant place envisioned. Just east of the Town Center, is the Greeneway Interchange District (GID) located at the juncture of S.R. Road 417 and S.R. 434. The GID is expected to become a premier employment center with professional office buildings, conference facilitx and hotel. The GID is located within the "SeminoleWAY", which is being planned as a regional collaborative effort with Seminole County and other affected entities as a high tech extension of the Orange County "Innovation Way". Commercial areas in the GID can build up to a maximum of 1.0 FAR. Under certain conditions, one or more development bonuses may be granted which may allow a higher FAR. To date, no development has occurred within the GID. Like the Town Center, under-development can easily occur if higher intensities are not required. The City of Winter Springs also participates in the activities of the U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) through its membership on the U.S. 17- 92 Redevelopment Planning Agency (RPA). The CRA was established in 1 997 and its mission is "to realize the full economic and functional potential of the U.S. 17-92 corridor through strategic and timely investments that enhance the competitiveness and desirability of the corridor for the business community and the public at large." In 2008, the CRA was designated a Brownfield f SEED (Seminole Economic Enhancement Districtl area for the purpose of environmental remediation, rehabilitation and economic redevelopment, as allowed under Sections 376.77- 376.85, Florida Statutes. Estimates in 2009 indicate that City-wide, there were 807 business establishments, employing 6232 employees (source- SCR, LLC.. 20091. Total existing Commercial acreage equals 123 acres, or 1 percent of the land designated on the Existing Land Use Map.

Historic Resources As one travels around Winter Springs today, there is little evidence of the peoples and the history that have shaped the City. According to the Florida Master Site File, maintained by the State Division of Historical Resources, there are no historical standing structures or archaeological sites within the City. No references to remaining historical structures or sites are indicated on the Existing Land Use Map. Even though the City's history only goes back to 1 959, the area was occupied bx an assortment of people long before that. According to John Baker, City Historian (June 1994, 35th anniversary celebration) the area has been occupied for some 4500 years. The primary Native American tribe was the Timacuans, a large, robust people whose leaders were often women. Historical reconnaissance studies have found evidence of Indian middens on the south bank of Lake Jesup and a sloth jawbone was reported to have been found lust north of Winter Springs High School. On many old deeds and other documents pertaining to the area, the name of Moses Levy appears. Moses Elias Levy (1782-1854) was a New York merchant who made a fortune in lumbering and trade with the Spanish and amassed hundreds of thousands of acres prior to the U.S. acquisition of Florida from Spain in 1821. All of what is now Winter Springs was once owned by Levy. Plats revised in 1852 recognized Spanish land grants to Moses Levy, Philip K. Yonge, and others, as the federal government opened the area to settlers. Lake Jesup was named on May 22, 1837, by Lt. Richard Peyton for Gen. Thomas S. Jessup, a prominent figure in the Seminole Wars. The "discovery" of the lake required 52 hours of rowing a barge 90 miles to pet to it. At least one old map from that time refers to it as "Lake Peyton". fln 1 981, the U.S. Board of Geographic Names settled on "Jesup" as the correct spelling of the lake.l A wharf and store was located at the shore of Lake Jesup at the end of what is now Tuskawilla Road (previously known as Brantley Road). Partners George C. Brantley and Col. Daniel Randolph Mitchell made their wharf and store (c. 1865) here the area's center of commerce. There are no historical remains of these. Brantley's Wharf and nearby Clifton Springs (off Spring Avenuel were as far south as steamboats could land freight for wagons to haul to Maitland and Orlando. Vincent Lee was an early homesteader. In 1874, Brantley bought and named a nearby site "Tuskawilla" after an Indian village of the same name in Alachua County (now known as Micano~y). A post office was established there by Liver Prince. In the eariv days of the settlement, Tuskawilla Road was a rugged wagon trail blazed for the construction of a railroad line from Lake Jesup to Orlando. The 1873 effort of Brantley and Mitchell failed when both died while the roadbed grading was half completed. Steamboats and rail were important aspects of the economic development of the area at the time. In the early 1900s, the cities of Sanford and Oviedo were connected by a dirt road, which passed through what is now Winter Springs. This road was paved with brick around 1920 and was known as the Sanford-Oviedo Road. Most remnants of the old brick road have long since been removed. However, a small I-51 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT portion of the road may still exist at Layer Elementary School adjacent to the row of old oak trees. The area lay dormant until 1 957 when Ray Moss and William Edgemon purchased land under the name of the "North Orlando Company," a subsidiary of the Silver Creek Precision Co., Silver Creek, New York (later known as the Commercial Corporation of Allentown, PA.I. The first residents, equaling approximately 200 people, moved into homes on the north side of S.R. 434. A "country estate" could be purchased for as low as $20 down and $20 per month (The Sanford Herald, Feb. 18, 1959). An applicable quote, from the North Orlando Country Estates advertisement states, "cities grow because of people and industry; more industry means more people; more people means more homes; more homes increase land demand, up values- grand for those who bought early." House Bill 2474, created the municipality of the Village of North Orlando on June 20, 1959. The Village was the sixth municipality in Seminole County and the smallest, consisting of only 1 60-acres. The Village was located on the west side of present day Winter Springs. The chief reason for the incorporation was to enable the developers to have control over the building and evolution of the village and to allow them to establish their own ordinances and regulations. The North Orlando Company also provided their own water and sewer utilities. The Village was a `company town' and all the Village Council were employees of the North Orlando Company, who were appointed to serve. It wasn't until 1962 that residents had an opportunity to select members of a council who would represent their needs. Selection of the mayor, however, was by secret ballot from the five council members until 1966 when a referendum charter change determined that the mayor was to also be elected by the people. In 1960, the community had one public building, which housed the Water Company's office, offices for the Florida Land Company employees, and an office used by the Village as City Hall. Although there have been no designated, historically significant structures to date, this building may potentially be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as it approaches 50-years old. The building is located at Fairfax and S.R. 434 and was purchased by a private citizen in 1995. The first streets were N. Fairfax and N. Devon. In 1965, the first store opened, aptly named, the North Orlando Super Market. 2. S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan L 4._4,. D,,., .1 12 I (~,,._._:.-],_._~`:. ,171.,.-, In 1997, the City established and adopted a vision plan for the ;~5_R. 434 corridor_ ~i`~~'. It was a collaborative planning process with meaningful public participation in the development of the concept and design guidelines for the corridor. I - 52 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The ~S_R. 434 corridor was divided into two overlay areas, as shown on the City's Ohfficial Zoning Mt~ap, due to the different characteristics on the east and west sides of the City. The dividing boundary was determined to be Hayes Road. The following section defines the two overlay areas. {te}a. Redevelopment Area Overlay District The ~rRedevelopment ,Area r>Overlay District is defined as,, "All properties (involving the entire parcel) lying within the corporate limits of the City ~~~ adjacent to the ~'~.RS_R. 434 right-of-way fromm~U.S. 17= f92 eastward to Hayes Road." It is the intent of this rn=rte-redistrict to encourage enhanced property development that is consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhoods and development. The buildings will not be encouraged to go higher than thirty five feet and should be located closer to the street to encourage pedestrian activity. Design guidelines will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to promote orderly development and redevelopment of the corridor. ~r.New Development Area Overlay District The t~New t}Development ,Area rrOverlay District is defined asp "All properties (involving the entire parcel) lying within the corporate limits of the City _ ~r-trr~adjacent to the ~~~RS_R. 434 right-of-way from~~ :~ _~`~ ~~ 1 i~,~___..`~ ,...-~ ~.-. u.._~..` U..,,~ .._-~ r..,-.-._ Hayes Road eastward to the easternmost boundary of the Citx~ ~ ~ - _-- ~;:~." However, should any conflicts arise between the New Development Overlay District and the Town Center District the provisions of the Town Center District shall apply. To the extent that the Town Center District are silent, then the New Development Overlay District shall apply. It is the intent of this :-redistrict to control the physical appearance of new development along the corridor to produce economic benefits for the City and serve the needs of the region. Development will be encouraged to have a campus style building layout that encourages larger buffers and landscaping. Design guidelines will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to promote orderly development within the New Development Overlay Area. 3. Natural Resources The presence of natural resources within the City ~ - ~. will affect the future land use pattern. The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns.

Additionally, the City has adopted a rConservation Overlay designation on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 to identify potential sensitive habitat areas that may be worthy of preservation. I - 53 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The following narrative briefly discusses the natural environment within the City ,~_ Much of this information is discussed in greater detail within the Conservation Element. a. Climate The City - - ~, enjoys asub-tropical climate, characterized by warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters. Daily maximum temperatures average 90°F in the summer and 50°F in the winter. Temperature extremes of over 100°F or under 20°F are rare. The average annual precipitation in the City is 50 inches per year, most of which occurs during the rainy season from June through October. b. Water Bodies The City of Winter Springs lies on the southwest shore of Lake Jesup. Lake Jesup was named in 1 837 for Gen. Thomas S. Jessup, a prominent figure in the Seminole Wars. In 1 981 ,the U.S. Board of Geographic Names settled on "Jesup" as the correct spelling of the lake. Lake Jesup is over 16,000 acres (including flood plains) and has an estimated alligator population of over 10,000 making it the densest concentration of alligators in the world.`--~-`<~ ~" ~--<~`-~_ ._..`,_..._._~ _ :~i_:._ Prominent creeks feeding into Lake Jesup include Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek, and Howell Creek. These major features are depicted on Map I-5.

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

LAND USE ANALYSIS This section of the Future Land Use Element summarizes existina conditions and potential development trends and problems. Included in the analysis will be the availability of urban services such as sewer, solid waste, roadways and the availability of potable water. In addition, there is an analysis of potential limitations imposed by natural resources and man-made constraints. 1. Unincorporated Enclaves/Future Annexations In January 2007, the City adopted Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.8.4 establishing an eastern annexation boundary for the City, at DeLeon Street. The intention of this policx was to protect the rural and environmentally sensitive Black Hammock area from future urbanization. Areas which are islands of unincorporated Seminole County that are completely surrounded by the City are considered "enclaves". Enclaves total 264 acres. The City is I-63 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT now more dependent upon infill development and the annexation of these enclaves to provide growth opportunities. Most of these enclaves are vacant lands with the exception of developed lands along, Lake Jesup off of Orange Avenue and Spring Avenue, which are generally developed as low density residential housing. Generally, these parcels are less than ten acres. An interlocal agreement with Seminole County in 1 987 provides that the City will supply essential governmental services (fire protection, public safety, emergency law enforcement, and road maintenance) to County citizens residing in defined "areas of concern." The Agreement states that the County will encourage property owners to seek annexation and that annexation of any parcels within this area is subject to this agreement. The City expects that vacant enclaves adjacent to the existing Town Center boundary will be annexed and designated as part of the Town Center, sometime prior to 2030. Future annexations of existing enclaves will help supply land to satisfy the housing, and commercial needs of the 2030 population of the Cites 2. Population Proiections Projecting the City's future population is critical in planning for its future facility needs. Projected population must be taken into consideration, along with available land, in preparing the Future Land Use Map - 2030 and the spatial requirements necessary to meet the City's future growth. Population estimates and projections were prepared by Planning Communities, LLC, Inc. as part of background information for the Comprehensive Plan. These Proiections and associated methodologies can be found in the section entitled "Population Projections" of this Comprehensive Plan. The estimated 2008 population for the City was 34,390 total residents. By the year 2010. this population is expected to reach 35,857. 40.319 by 2020, and 44,538 by 2030. ~3. Analysis of Public Facilities Affecting Development It is important to ensure that public facilities and services that are necessary to support development are available current with the impact of development. a. Potable Water The City -~ currently owns, operates and maintains a central potable water distribution system, which consists of three water treatment plants and eight3 potable water wells, and four above ground storage tanks. The City's potable water system provides water for both residential and nonresidential purposes, including fire-fighting demands. The City has historically been able to provide adequate potable water service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries:, with the exception of a few parcels at the City's perimeter. These are served by the City of Longwood, the City of Casselberry, or by Seminole County Environmental Services (SCEs) and represent an insignificant portion of each utility's service capability. The City does not provide service to unincorporated areas of Seminole County, with the exception of one commercial property along U.S. 17-92 that had groundwater contamination from an adjacent I-64 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT property, and there was no other supplier available. The City also administers a reclaimed water system and conservation programs, to help manage water demand and meet potable water supply needs. b. Wellheads The City's central potable water distribution system is connected to eight (81 potable water wells. The City adheres to the standards adopted for wellhead protection by the SJRWMD and the FDEP, including restricting the type of development allowed in the vicinity of a wellhead and requiring a 500-foot protection zone around each wellhead as well as a five hundred (500) foot minimum spacing between wells. Land use surrounding a water supply site is a major consideration in the selection and protection of well sites to avoid contamination. The direction of groundwater flow is to the northeast toward Lake Jesup. The wellhead protection areas are depicted on Map I-1 1. Vic. Sanitary Sewer The City- currently owns, operates and maintains a central sanitary sewer system, which consists of two "zero discharge" wastewater treatment plants, 41~ lift stations, several miles of sewer force main, gravity main, and reclaimed water distribution mains. The City's collection and treatment system provides service to both residential and nonresidential users. The City has historically been able to provide adequate sanitary sewer service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries. There are 22 residential connections and 24 general service connections. Three properties outside the City limits are served by the City's wastewater utility. These properties, all within the City of Oviedo, include the medical center at S.R. 426 and Winter Springs Boulevard, the Tuscawilla Bend Shopping Center and the Seneca Bend Subdivision. The City provides service to these properties as required by an old PUD agreement. There are no County enclaves that are served by the City's wastewater system.

Stormwater, Drainage The City ~ is committed to maintaining the quality of its surface waters and natural eco-systems. The City maintains a current Stormwater Master Plan, adopted in October 1993, which models the City's contributing drainage basins and storm sewer systems, as well as, identifying the existing improvements, deficiencies in the overall system, and recommendations and prioritization of drainage improvements. An update to this document, Supplement 1 (Supplement) was prepared in 2005 to identify and describe new projects that require attention for the future. The Plan and Supplement are an example of responsible commitment to progressive Cit~planning and resource management. Additionally, the City's Stormwater=r~ system protects the safety and welfare of the City's residents by maintaining adequate drainage facilities to minimize local flooding of streets and property. The City allows for development within the flood plain, if feasible, but requires the construction of compensating storage areas to offset any impacts to the flood plain. Vie. Solid Waste Seminole County operates two solid waste facilities- Osceola Road Solid Waste Management Facility (OLF) and the Central Transfer Station (CTS). The Citx contracts garbage and refuse collection service for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Waste Pro currently provides the City with solid waste collection and recycling services. Household hazardous waste is accepted at the County facilities.

The City continues to work with FDOT and METROPLAN ORLANDO to identify and implement improvements to the network. In addition to the planned widening of U.S. 17-92, METROPLAN ORLANDO'S 2025 Lona Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) includes widening of S.R. 426 to 4 lanes from Pine Street to S.R. 434 in 2010 and widening of Seminola Boulevard to 6 lanes from U.S. 17-92 to Lake Drive (a widening to 4 lanes was completed in 20081. The improvements within Winter Springs and the surrounding roadway network may alleviate or delay deficiencies identified in the 201 3 forecast. ~4. Analysis of Natural Conditions Affecting Development The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns. Winter Springs is impacted by natural constraints, such as ~_`~-Lake Jesup, its ~~, ~~~ ~----~~ ~- ~~ ~~ ,,reek systems, isolated wetlands,, and 100-year flood plain areas,~~~r~~~e~€r~r;~~- ;`~-.~~~~`. Environmental permitting requirements for impact to wetlands, require mitigation within the Lal<e Jesup Basin through the SJRWMD. Wetland banking can offer mitigation credits for purchase. Currently there are no mitigation credits available for purchase within the Lake Jesup basin. Although permitting requirements also have become ~~,~~ ~~, ~~, _ ~`~-~ `stricter in recent years which may~~ suffice to restrict development in pristine natural areas and to preserve wildlife habitatss the City should nevertheless identify areas of significance and seek to ensure their preservation.: a. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge As detailed in the Aquifer Recharge Element, areas of groundwater recharge are extremely well drained and often subject to alteration since these areas are typically prime litx~~lands for development. However, development can compromise water quality and great care should be taken to protect areas of groundwater recharge. Natural groundwater recharge to the upper Floridan aquifer is depicted in Infrastructure Element, Map IV-F-2. The map illustrates that the majority of the City is located in a discharge area and there are no areas of significant recharge in the Cites ~ - < ~ , In order to conserve the City's potable water supply, Winter Springs has established a program that utilizes reclaimed water for irrigation purposes, which, in turn, reduces the draw down of groundwater supplies. The City's reclaimed water system has reduced the use of irrigation wells within the City and the system will continue to be expanded to serve new development. I-68 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT b. Flood Prone Areas z'_ ~- .~~- ~-.~' .~~- .~~ ---~`'~~-~ Approximately 18% of the total land area of the City --pis within the 100-year flood_plains. These areas are depicted on Map I-8. .. ~ -. The main flood hazard zones in the City include the shoreline along Lake Jesup and the creeks running through the City. In addition, there are a few smaller scattered areas within the City typically associated with small lakes. Where possible, development is not recommended within these flood prone areas. The Code of Ordinances limits development in undeveloped flood plain areas. The Future Land Use Map - 2030 Ceonservation Or=rverlay is to be used as a tool to identify areas where more scrutiny is required during the development review process, in order to limit .,, , ~ = development in -_~,~'_--~~_R flood_plain areas. For these areas, new development is required to~r~ meet the standards :~r~set } by the HUD Flood Insurance Program. Additional regulations for development within the flood plains will be maintained in the City's Code of Ordinances to prevent flooding and require that fir.-r~there is no new net encroachment in the flood_plains without compensating storage. 45. ~__.__..,. ~ ....a rr,.,.....a Vacant Land Analysis Vacant land data was initially derived from parcel data provided by the Seminole County Property Appraiser's Office. This data was then reviewed with aerial photography imaging and combined with the City's Geographic Systems Information (GIS1 data, to be included on the City's Existing Land Use Map. The Existing Land Use Map (Map I-4) includes categories for both Vacant and Vacant Constrained lands. Map I-1 2 illustrates these areas. Vacant is defined as any land which is "not developed" and "not currently being used under its comprehensive plan future land use map designation." Lands with a Conservation FLUM designation are excluded from the analysis. These lands do not meet the City's definition of vacant as their use is preservation and protection of Winter Springs' natural resources and they are prohibited from being developed. The resulting vacant lands data was then combined to include the Conservation Overlay from the Future Land Use Map - 2030 to illustrate Vacant Constrained lands. Vacant Constrained land is defined as "vacant lands included within the Conservation Overlay area". The Conservation Overlay includes properties that may potentially contain wildlife habitat areas, hydric soils/wetlands special vegetative communities, areas within a public water well radius of 500-feet, 100-year floodplain areas, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints (see Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.7 Although the Conservation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 is not to be considered the exact boundary, it is a likely indicator of constrained lands. A final determination of the suitability for development is determined during development review and requires that all mitigation requirements have been met. Many of the parcels that remain undeveloped as of March 2009, are vacant due in part to environmental constraints. The most frequent constraint is the presence of wetlands. During the period, 1998-2007, many of the lands that were developed, were accomplished by purchasing mitigation lands to compensate for the on site wetland I-69 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT impacts. Impacts to wetlands within the Lake Jesup Basin as managed by the St. Johns Water Management District (SJRWMDI, require mitigation lands that are also located within the Lake Jesup Basin. During the last few years however, there are no longer any mitigation lands available for purchase. As a result, development proposals are preserving on site wetlands. In analyzing the carrying capacity of vacant land for development, soil maps and various natural resource maps were overlaid with the Existing Land Use Map. Two issues facing the City ~ , . with regard to these factors include the flood hazard zones, which were discussed above, and soil conditions. Map I-~10 shows the results of soil suitability analysis for building construction. In total, roughly 1 3 percent of the City can be considered vacant. Of this total. only 768 acres (9 percent of the City) is considered developable. Most of the City's vacant lands are located between S.R. 434 and Lake Jesup. Total acreages of vacant land by Future Land Use Category are shown in Table I-2. _ _' , , . - , - - 6. Future Land Use and Projected Land Use Needs Each future land use category and its corresponding acreage is listed in Table I-2. Vacant acreage under each land use category is also summarized. a. Residential Future Land Use Categories ~'LlTThere are '~~a total of 4,71 9 acres of residential land shown on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 included within four residential categories: Rural Residential, Low Densifv Residential, Medium Density Residential, and High Densifv Residential. Residential future land uses represent approximately 55 percent of the total land area in the City. As of 2009, ~" `'~~~ `_~`.~', roughly ~?-4,422 acres had been developed-i?=~Twith approximately 297 vacant acres remaining. Although only 39 acres are constrained, a large portion of the vacant developable acreage is classified as Rural Residential (129 acres) and is unlikely to densify except through an occasional lot split. Any lot splits that do occur must be compatible with the overall neighborhood character and surrounding density. Therefore, it is unlikely that this category of future land use will absorb very much of the future population growth. ~ _ - I - 70 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT < < . , .Some infill growth can occur within the other existing residential categories, but generally platted developments have very few remaining vacant lots, unless the lot is environmentally constrained. The Housing Element presents an analysis of the vacant residential land uses within the City_ - .. The element identifies firma projection of anticipated ~~dwelling units that ~=rrrrl-r~might be accommodated within the various land use categories. Maximum allowable densities within the City's vacant residential land range between one dwelling unit per gross acre for Rural Residential single- family U~~ to 21~? dwelling units per gross acre for High r~Density Residential. However, the area most able to accommodate the greatest residential growth in the City is the Town Center, which allows up to :fir} 36 dwelling units per gross acre_ ~ -.The Mixed Use category can accommodate a significant number of future residential units as well, with a density up to 12 dwelling units per gross acre. Housing Element projections include a certain percentage of residential uses within each category. Map I- 12: Vacant and Vacant Constrained Properties Maw As of 2008, there were z?~1 3,898 dwelling units in the City - Based on the figures provided . . _ .. .. - by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a total of 20,008 dwelling units will be needed to serve the household population of the City by the year 2030, an increase of 6,1 10 units over the 2008 estimate. . . _- . ~ _ .The Shimberg projections do not consider vacant land availability and are primarily projections based on historical Growth trends. Housing Element, Table III-14 describes more realistic projections for the City and considers the City's vacant developable land. Realistic projections based on vacant developable acreage indicate that the Citx may accommodate approximately 3,400 more units within the City's current boundaries. Annexation of additional land (enclaves) into the Town Center max realize an additional 1200 units. The density factor included in these projections and in the Housing Element is less than the maximum density allowed in each category Examination of recent building permit activity for the years '"",-2000 through 2008 indicated a strong preference for single family housing. ~~~ ~', ~ ~.~' ~~~~~~~ - - . ;; .- - - . _- . However, single family can include both attached and detached units, and during this period, most of the single familx~ermitted were townhomes, rather than single family detached units.

The City will continue to see a decrease in construction of sinale family detached units as the City nears build-out. Rural Residential - (up to 1 unit per gross acre). This future land use category includes large lot single-family residences not exceeding one unit per acre. Accessory structures and primary agricultural uses may be permitted based upon the appropriate surrounding land uses. In recent years, the City implemented a lot split provision to allow a simplified process for splitting large parcels in cases where the resu-tinq lot size would not be incompatible with the adjacent properties and existing neighborhood. Low Density Residential - (up to 3.5 units per gross acre). This residential categorv is typically a suburban area dominated by detached single-family homes on one- quarter acre lots. This land use categorv is intended to be applied as a transitional use to infill areas where higher density residential would conflict with adjacent neighborhoods. Medium Density Residential - pup to 9 units per gross acre). This urban scale medium density residential category is intended for both single-family and multi-family subdivisions. Typical uses may include duplexes, villas, cluster housing, townhouses, mobile homes, manufactured homes and apartments at densities up to nine units per acre. Hiah Density Residential - (up to 21 units per gross acre). This urban scale residential category typically includes attached multi-family housing at densities up to twenty-one units per gross acre. Typical uses would be apartments and condominiums. This is the maximum density permitted in the City (except for the Town Center). I - 73 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Housing impacts the economic strength of a community and provides a basis for directing the manner and type of economic development within an area. Since housing helps determine the economic strength of a community, it will be important to require residential densities in the Town Center that support the economic goals of the Town Center. With limited land available to accommodate single family homes, future housing construction is anticipated to be predominantly multiple family. Less acreage is required to suL?port higher density housing patterns. New multiple family developments will be located close to commercial retail and employment areas and transportation corridors. Many communities allow residential density bonuses in exchange for some attribute identified by the City as desirable. By providing a density incentive, the developer can recoup the costs he incurs by providing the desirable attribute. However, within the Town Center a greater density allowance is already included by right, but largely ignored by the development community to date. b. Commercial Future Land Use As part of the creation of the Town Center, aRetail/Economic Analysis was undertaken by Gibbs Planning Group in 1 998. This study indicated that the area's residents shop outside of Winter Springs and as such there is significant leakage of retail service restaurant, and entertainment expenditures to other retail areas. The study also indicated that based on the potential retail service spending~atterns of residents, the Winter Springs Town Center has the ability to support the recommended level of additional retail development, justifying its emergence as a distinct Town Center development within central Florida. - ~.

However, there are still -_ , `- ~- ~ _ ~~<~' 1 50 acres that are vacant and approximately 1 1 3 acres that are developable. Within this total acreage ~: - ~ _- t~~~~_.. ~-~.._~,,.. ._~ ~,....,,._.m__,,,_ r..~...._i_,..~f, there are 37 acres proposed as a I - 74 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT future County park (Jena Point Park). Once Seminole County submits for the land use ~~amendment, vacant developable commercial lands will drop to 76 acres. The City is pursuing redevelopment opportunities and encouraging, economic growth. As a result of this effort, the City will allow a vertical mix of uses within the S.R. 434 Overlay District to promote alive-work environment. The majority of available land for development in commercial uses is included in the future land use categories of Greeneway Interchange District (GID), Town Center, and Mixed Use. These areas support innovative design and an energy- efficient land use pattern of infill development. Additionally, the GID and Town Center allow a greater commercial intensity of use than areas designated with a Commercial future land use. Together these areas are offering opportunities for increased diversification of the City's tax base and will allow more Winter Springs residents to find employment opportunities close to home. Asa result, Winter Springs is well positioned to continue its current pace of strong economic growth. Mixed Use Future Land Use The purpose for the Mixed Use land use categorv is to provide for a variety of land uses and intensities within a development site to preserve conservation areas, to reduce public investment in provision of services, to encourage flexible and creative site design and to provide public amenities that provide an area-wide benefit to the community. The Mixed Use land use categorv permits low, medium and high density residential; commercial uses (retail and office); light industrial; educational facilities; recreation facilities and compatible public facilities. According to the Planned Unit Development process, the intensity of the development within the Mixed Use category will vary depending upon location and surrounding uses. To ensure a variety of land use types, no more than 75 percent of any one type of land use will be permitted to dominate the site and to ensure that the Mixed Use area is of a sufficient size to function as an integrated unit, this designation requires a minimum of ten acres. The Mixed Use categorv may comprise several parcels under different ownership, as long as the parcels are approved as a unified master plan with legal documents recorded prior to development or redevelopment that tie the parcels together. The master plan must be submitted for approval at the time of rezoning and may include multiple phases of development. The requirements for the master plan are identified in the Planned Unit Development section of the zoning chapter of the City's Code of Ordinances. Alternative modes of transportation are required in the Mixed Use category to encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact and walkable, living environment and workplace. Transitional uses are required to protect adjacent lower intensity and density uses from higher uses. Building heights must be stepped down adjacent to lower intensity and density uses. I - 75 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The Future Land Use Map - 2030 illustrates 141 acres within the Mixed Use Future Land Use category, with 105 acres vacant. The majority of lands having a Mixed Use future land use designation are located at the southeastern edge of the Citx at the Oviedo Marketplace (on Dovera Drivel and 40 acres of vacant land on the north side of S.R. 434, immediately west of the GID. Other properties having a Mixed Use designation include several small commercial parcels on the south side of S.R. 434- one at Heritage Park and one at Stone Gable. In both cases, the residential portions of the Mixed Use development have been developed. Approximately 53 acres of the remaining Mixed Use parcels are vacant constrained, with only 52 acres anticipated to be developable. d. Town Center Future Land Use The intent of the Town Center future land use category is to establish a vibrant "downtown" area in the heart of the City, based upon traditional neighborhood development (TND) standards which include mixed use development built on a pedestrian scale interconnected grid of streets and blocks. The Town Center is to be a mixed use area where people can live, work, and plate Rather than regulate uses in the traditional reactive Euclidean method, the Town Center future land use is based on apro-active form-based code which regulates certain design conventions for streets, blocks, parks, and the way buildings and other structures relate to them and to one another for the long-term. Built along interconnected pedestrian scale street and block networks, buildings are constructed for an adaptive progression of potential uses over their long-term life cycle. Typical uses that are encouraged include shops, personal and business services, grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, offices, civic facilities, day care, and residential. The Town Center District allows greater diversity in housing types than other areas of the City. Accessory dwelling units, such as garage apartments are allowed bx right and the Town Center has been identified as the area where the City's highest density of housing is appropriate. By right, residential density can be developed up to 36 du~aross acre. Initially, no minimum density was established, however a policy is now included, which encourages a minimum average density per development, to support the economic goals of the Town Center. BAs previously mentioned, the Town Center is the only area within Winter Springs which allows a vertical mix of uses by right. To date, one building has been built which includes a vertical mix of uses. However, with the economic downturn, development of condominium units has currently halted and developers are returning to the detached single family unit prototype. Although a healthy mix of housing types is appropriate for the Town Center, a higher density and intensity of residential units is required to support the economic viability of a city center. The Town Center is still developing into a place that feels like `a real community belongs to this place.' There are only 250 residential units, 84,000 SF of office space and 165,000 SF of retail constructed to date. Public facilities include: Citx Hall, Winter Springs High School, Central Winds Parl<, and the US Post Office. Prior to the economic downturn, there were an additional 2040 residential units, 489,000 SF of office and 418,000 SF of retail in development review, with I - 76 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT another 900 residential units, 25,000 SF of office and 21 1,000 SF retail and 500 hotel units expected to be added to the Town Center, by build-out. _` The Future Land Use Map includes 579 acres within the Town Center Future Land Use category, of which 1 68 acres acees vacant and developable. e. Urban Central Business District In 2005, the City designated an Urban Central Business District (UCBD) in 2005 to promote pedestrian-oriented high intensity and high density in its urban core. The boundaries of the UCBD coincide with the boundaries of the Town Center. One of the purposes behind establishing the UCBD was the opportunity to adopt the State's Development of Regional Impact (DRI) threshold for development, as allowed under the Florida Administrative Code: • 800,000 square feet of commercial retail; • 600,000 square feet of office; • 700 hotel units; and • At least 700, but not more than 4,000 residential dwelling units. e-f. Greeneway Interchange District (GID) Future Land Use The purpose for the GID land use category is to set aside an area of the City, with proximity to S.R. 417 and the interchange area on S.R. 434, to provide employment centers for target industries and an increased tax base for the Cites The GID category was first defined in conjunction with the City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan adoption. Residential land uses are permitted only under certain limited circumstances, as part of a vertical mix of uses. An appropriate application for residential would be penthouse apartments above high rise offices. Additionally, residential is to be incidental to the other land uses and therefore, is to be limited to no more than 25%, of any one vertically integrated, mixed use structure. The intent of the GID designation is to: • Provide an economic benefit in terms of employment opportunities and increased tax base; • Locate higher intensity uses where roadway capacity can accommodate increased traffic due to short trip distances to major roadways and increased lane capacity at major intersections; • Locate higher intensity uses along major roadways and intersections to reduce development pressures in other areas, thereby minimizing the road congestion and community compatibility impacts. I - 77 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Alternative modes of transportation are required in the GID land use category to encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact. walkable environment. The GID is located within the "target area" identified by Seminole County in 2007 as the SeminoleWAY. The identified area runs north from S.R. 426 in the City of Oviedo to Interstate 4 in the City of Sanford, following the S.R. 417 corridor. The intent of this target area is to connect to the similar "Innovation Way" in Orange County and to attract high quality, higher income jobs to Seminole County. A variation of Seminole County's High Intensity Planned (HIP) Development land use is being considered by the County as the model for potential land use changes at interchanges serving this corridor. Target Industry Uses appropriate for the GID include: • Financial and Information Services o Legal Services o Telemarketing Bureaus o Architectural o Financial Transactions Processing Services o Public Relations Agencies o Publishers o Credit Bureaus o Associations o Advertising Agencies o CPA's o Consumer Lending o Headquarters o Title Companies o Insurance o Computer Software and Desian o Banks • Life Sciences o Hospitals and o Outpatient Facilities Medical Education o Blood and Organ Banks o Diagnostic Imaging o Research Laboratories Centers o Nursing Care Facilities o Medical o Veterinary Services Laboratories o Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing and o Agri-science Research Facilities • Diaital Media o Motion Picture and o Graphic Design Video Production o Computer Hardware~Software o Simulation and Design and Development Training o Animation o Teleproduction • Technical and Research Services o General o Graphic Design Management Services Consulting o Human Resources o Marketing and Executive o Interior Design Search I - 78 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o Environmental Engineering and Consulting o Precision Instruments o Civil Engineering • Other FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT O Surveying and Mapping o Telecommunications o Industrial Design o Lasers and Photonics o Long Stay Tourism o Sports Associated Industries o Convention Center o Other "basic" businesses and o Hotels and Lodging industries with high annual average o International Trade wa es Source: SeminoleWAY Industry and Facility Analysis; Real Estate Research Consultants, Inc.; Mav 1, 2008 - ;~- - - _ > > _. As of March 2009, no acres had been developed in the GID. The Future Land Use Map - 2030 illustrates 296 acres within the GID Future Land Use category, of which all is vacant, but only 1 69 acres is anticipated to be developable. ~q. Industrial Future Land Use The Industrial future land use category includes all industrial uses permitted under the City's Code of Ordinances. Currently, permitted industrial uses include onlx light and very light industrial uses typically connected with light manufacturing, assembly, processing or storage of products. Additionally, the Industrial future land use category serves as an area to locate authorized land uses and activities which could have adverse secondary effects (e.g. increased crime; neighborhood deterioration and blight; property devaluation; economic deterioration; health risks; and other adverse effects) on residential areas, religious institutions, schools, parks, day care centers, and other public institutions located within the City. Adult entertainment establishments and sexually oriented businesses are strictly limited to lands designated "Industrial" on the Future Land Use Map - 2030. Light industrial uses may be located adiacent to urban scale residential land use categories when appropriate transitioning and buffers are provided. Nonconforming uses although not allowed to expand should be allowed to provide appropriate transitioning and buffers to adiacent properties, especially those with incompatible land uses. The maximum floor area ratio for industrial uses is 0.5 FAR. Industrial Planned Unit Developments are also permitted to have a 0.5 FAR. I - 79 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Industrial lands are located predominantly on the north side of the City, along S.R. 419 and along the north side of the CSX railroad, as well as along the east side of U.S. 17-92. I~There are currently 84 acres of land developed in Industrial uses within the City. The Future Land Use Map - 2030 illustrates 126 acres with an Industrial future land use classification. Approximately 1 /3 of this acreage is utilized in Public,Semi-Public uses and Commercial uses. Only seven acres of land designated as Industrial on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 are vacant and developable. r-'.Public~Semi-Public Future Land Used The Public/Semi-Public cateaorv consists of public and private. nonprofit facilities. This category includes all public structures or lands that are owned, leased, or operated by a government entity, such as civic and community centers, public schools, police and fire stations, and government administration buildings, except for those located in the Town Center. These uses (such as City Hall, Winter Springs High School, and the Post Office) have the Town Center designation. The nonprofit and semi-public uses include churches, institutions, private schools, group homes, emergency shelters and other similar uses, except for those located in the Town Center and a few facilities located within strip commercial centers. Additional uses that could be included in this cateaorv are: libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, and cemeteries. Although the Existing Land Use table indicates 637 acres in Public/Semi-Public uses, there are only 508 acres with a Public~Semi-Public future land use designation, due to some facilities being located within the Town Center designation. h. Recreation and Open Space Future Land Use I-80 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT ---- - ,r'---- ~r~-- ~r' It is the intent of the City to provide an appropriate balance of both active and passive recreation for the community. The quality of life for residents of Winter Springs is not only linked to the availability of awell-maintained system of public park and recreation facilities, but also to the quality of the natural resources they contain. Privately managed parks, open space and facilities provide additional components of the open space and recreational system serving City residents. As additional parks are developed, consideration for the balance between conservation issues and the provision of active recreation becomes an important ingredient in the park development process. The Recreation and Open Space Element analyzes in details the current and future public park and open space needs of the City population. The Element concluded (Recreation and Open Space Element, Table IV-1) that the City has adequate ~r<rrkland to meet ~k~its overall parkland adopted Levels of Sservice (LOS) of 8 acres, 1000 population through 2030. , - - - - ~~ The LOS includes State and Count park lands and trails that are located within the City's jurisdictional boundaries and includes both passive and active lands. Therefore the Cross Seminole Trail is included and Jetta Point County Park will be included, once developed. In addition, the City will have adequate land to meet its overall open space LOS of 4 acres, 1000 population standard through 2030, with the conveyance to the City of the 40-acre area in the Town Center, known "wetland park". The Existing Land Use table indicates 682 acres in Recreation and Open Space uses and includes private facilities (such as golf courses) and school facilities. However, the Future Land Use table includes only public facilities and does not include recreation and open space facilities located within the Town Center, such as Central Winds Park. In addition, some of the lands identified as Open Space on the Existing Land Use Map have a Conservation future land use designation. As a result, the Future Land Use Map - 2030 illustrates 560 acres within the Recreation and Open Space future land use designation. ti. r-'.Conservation Future - -, Land Use These Conservation future land use categorytes includes those lands which contain valuable and threatened natural resources, such as flood plains, estuarine properties, and unique ecological communities. There are several very noteworthy areas to be considered for possible Ceonservation designations on the Future Land I-81 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Use Map - 2030. The majority of these areas are shown as eConservation Overlay. Another area that may be suitable for eConservation use is along the Lake Jesup shoreline. This area needs to be considered for eConservation use because of its unique ecological value, for the protection of shoreline vegetation and because it is within the 100-year flood_plain. The City should pursue grants that would enable the purchase those areas that are desirable for permanent designation as eConservation'.~~ron the Future Land Use Map - 2030, or pursue agreements with property owners to preserve these resources. Table I-4 indicates ~~~- `'~,~` `'~ ~~'~-- .,"...__..` ~i_.,~ ~i_..._..~:_. , ~ that 1 ,264 acres are within the Conservation future land use cateaor ~ ' ~ ~; "~-~-,~~'~ ~~_ , i. Conservation Overlay The Conservation Overlay area shown on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 (PLUM). is intended to identify lands that mawpotentially contain protected wildlife habitat areas, hydric soils wetlands, and special vegetative communities. Included within the Conservation Overlay definition are areas within a public water well radius of 500 feet, within the 100-year floodplain, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints. The area designated as Conservation Overlay on the PLUM is not intended to prevent development, but rather identify sensitive areas that need to be reviewed carefully during the review process to determine whether development should be permitted or if some form of mitigation may be necessary. If the areas are determined not to be sensitive, then the underlying land use development density and/or intensity will be applicable. The Conservation Overlay includes approximately 343 acres of existing vacant land. Vacant lands within the Conservation Overlay are designated as Vacant Constrained on the Existing Land Use Maw 7. Redevelopment nH~:,-~~ne-~~~F~;ss~~f3~t~~~~~~~~e<r.Redevelopment can be described as the dedicated return of local property tax dollars for reinvestment in a project area under local control and under a locally developed and managed plan. a. Seminole Economic Enhancement District (SEED,/Brownfield Areas Sections 376.77 through 376.85, Florida Statutes, authorizes the designation by resolution of certain lands as "Brownfield Areas", for the corresponding provision of environmental remediation, rehabilitation, and economic redevelopment. I-82 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT During 2008, Winter Springs designated three areas within the City as Seminole Economic Enhancement District (SEED~,/Brownfield areas. These areas are illustrated on Map I-13. The SEED~Brownfield is a state economic development incentive to accomplish two purposes: 1. To provide general economic development opportunities in SEED~Brownfield designated zones on a project b~project basis; 2. To promote special economic development opportunities in SEED/Brownfield designated zones for properties that require the clean-up of environmental contamination on project b~project basis. Currently, no brownfield clean-up sites have been identified within Winter Springs. The designation was primarily an endeavor to facilitate job creation, and support community revitalization. The program offers tax credits for site rehabilitation and the provision of affordable housing. Other financial incentives available under the SEED designation include: General Economic Develpprnent Proiects Building Materials Sales Tax.

Arica b. U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRAI Winter Springs also participates in the U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The CRA was established in 1 997 and its mission is "to realize the full economic and functional potential of the U.S. 17-92 corridor through strategic and timely investments that enhance the competitiveness and desirability of the corridor for the business community and the public at large." The U.S. 17-92 CRA program is implemented under the direction of the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners, who serve as the members of the US 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Winter Springs along with the cities of Casselberry, Lake Mary, and Sanford participate by serving on the US 17-92 Redevelopment Planning Agency (RPA). The U.S. 17-92 RPA was created in 1998 and serves as the primary advisory committee to the U.S. 17-92 CRA. Map I-14 illustrates the properties within Winter Springs that are included in the U.S. 17-92 CRA. The US 17-92 Corridor Redevelopment Plan, adopted by the County and the participating cities in 1997, contains goals and objectives related to land use planning, infrastructure and services, land development regulations, economic development, housing and aesthetic design. Each year, an annual activity plan containing a list of projects consistent with the goals and objectives of the US 17 - 92 Corridor Redevelopment Plan, is prepared by the US 17-92 RPA and forwarded to the US 17-92 CRA for final approval and funding authorization. The U.S. 17-92 CRA program is funded through the U.S. 17-92 Redevelopment Trust Fund. The Trust Fund utilizes tax increment financing to fund the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. Tax increment financing relies on annual tax revenues Generated from the appreciation of property values within the CRA above an established base level (1997). Consequently, as the property values increase within the redevelopment area, the tax increment revenues Tan ~~n~ter SEEC)~Bron~ield Arica I-84 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT dedicated to the CRA also increase. The participating cities and the County each make an annual tax increment contribution to the U.S. 17-92 Redevelopment Trust Fund. The CRA program uses public funds leveraged with private funds to create new projects or rehabilitate existing ones without creating additional taxes or fees. Some of the services offered under the CRA include: ^ Development Liaison and Expedited Permitting - Provides express servicing processing of development permits to encourage the location, expansion or redevelopment of properties within the US 17-92 Redevelopment Area. ^ Facility Location Program - Provides a mechanism for assisting in the recruitment of businesses to the 17-92 CRA and includes GIS maps and information, a list of market-ready sites, link to other programs (federal, state and local) associated with economic development, and a liaison with the area's real estate professionals and local chambers of commerce. ^ Public Spaces and Streetscape Improvement Program -Provides financial support and assistance to redevelopment projects that enhance the public spaces and lands within the US 17-92 Redevelopment Area through improvements including pedestrian amenities, mast arm signal conversions, street amenities such as lighting and benches, intersection improvements, public parks and open spaces enhancements. ^ Redevelopment Partnership Program -Provides partnership opportunities with private development interests to transform under-performing~roperties within the CRA into successful, value added business locations through improvements including but not limited to property aggregation and assimilation, design and construction of common/shared infrastructure, enhanced site design, expedited review and permitting, and development and, or impact fee reductions and deferrals. ^ Existing Small Business Support Program - Provides the small business community with technical business assistance, financing assistance, and training support through the Small Business Development Center in partnership with Seminole Community College and serves as a bridge to other economic development programs offered at the state and federal levels. ^ Small Business Property Improvement Program -Provides oLportunities for fiscal assistance with redevelopment projects within the redevelopment area. Targeted improvements include building and far~ade enhancements, signaae enhancements, landscaping and green space improvements and other site improvements that result in enhanced property values. Through the US 17-92 mini grant, the Community Redevelopment Area will provide a dollar for dollar matching grant up to $5000 for eligible facade and landscape improvements. ^ Seminole Economic Enhancement District - An economic development incentive through the State DEP for environmental remediation, rehabilitation, and economic redevelopment.

As a result, few properties have been left unattended or allowed to degrade below standard conditions.

Currently, the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation Fund has a balance of over $1 million available for any improvement project that the City - _ .deems appropriate, as long as the City complies with the terms of the Bond. The City should continue pursuing the rehabilitation of deteriorating structures in the City and should continue to partner with agencies which work to rehabilitate deteriorated housing and neighborhoods. Additionally. the City may wish to hold one or more visioning workshops to discuss specific issues that may impede infill and redevelopment activities and identify locations, priorities and implementation strategies for potential infill development and redevelopment. The first workshop could include City and County Staff with familiarity of the pertinent issues and concerns with a second I-87 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT workshop including property owners and tenants. Following such an effort, the City would process any needed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map - 2030. and/or Code of Ordinances and post the vacant parcel map and database illustrating infill development and redevelopment opportunities on the City's website. As part of this effort, the City may also wish to consider providing incentives for infill development and redevelopment that support the City's targeted program priorities. 8. Inconsistent Land Uses Those uses, or areas which will be made nonconforming by adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, will be precluded from either increasing the degree of nonconformity or from development of new nonconforming uses. The intent is to allow the continuation of those lots, structures, uses, characteristics of use, or some combinations of these, which were lawful before adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, until they are removed through discontinuance, abandonment, amortization, or demolition. The terms "nonconforming" or "nonconformity" mean any lot, structure, use of land or structure, or characteristic of any use or structure which was lawful at the time of subdivision, site plan approval, construction, commencement, certificate of occupancy, or certificate of use, which over time no longer complies with the Comprehensive Plan, other applicable law, or City Code, due to a subsequent change in the Comprehensive Plan, other applicable law, or the City Code. The City recognizes that there may be limited and special circumstances in which nonconformities may be inconsistent with the City Code, but not inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan or other applicable law. In these limited and special circumstances, where the overall community and public policy objectives of the City are served by the continuance of a nonconformity, the City may, hold a public hearing and provide a special permit for the nonconformity. Such a special permit max include the imposition of conditions or safeguards as a condition of aLproval. In considering FLUM amendments, such amendments should comply with all aLplicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and should not be "balanced" among differing portions of the plan. ~~ ~~ ' _ _ T __ _ _-_ _ . __ __ _ _ _ ~ _..T_ , I-88 Z w W W N D Z Q J N a m t/1 C a d _~ LL N d a o: m ~ ~ ~ ~ a ~ a a ~ m ~ a i V V i i V i i V i y _C N N ~ ~ ~ ~ N N ~ ~ N N ~ ~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~ i ~ V a m a ~ Q- a V ~ ~ ~ ~ r o ~ r m ~: ~ a M ~ cal ~o~ ~o~ rl I jl u col col ICI of I m Z Z ~ ' m D d ~ c .~ ~ ~ °I 'OI MI of MI I ~I cal of of I ~ Z Z c ~ o a V N c a ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ c ~ ~ a~i ~ V V V N N N N N N N N V i d a ~ ~ ~ i i i i i i i i ~ d V N N N N O N N N a~ ~ ~ ~ c~ v N ~ M ~ v ~ `n o m I ~I ~ ~I l o l ~ ~I NI c~l o l ~I ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ca M w ~ ~ a V ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O V O V O N C N N N ~ O N O N ~ a a a a ~ _ ~ ~ O _ M ~ 0 ~ ~ ~ ~ a ~ a 0 0 0 ~ ~ p p ~ Q ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Z > > > > O ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O O ~ j D N ~?

Such a study, following coordination with FDOT regarding the methodology, may include: • Establishing whether concurrency management alternatives are appropriate to help achieve the Goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan; • Investigating the implementation of similar systems in jurisdictions with similar characteristics and issues; • Establishing guidelines for granting exceptions to transportation concurrency for urban infill development, urban redevelopment, downtown revitalization, or similar purpose allowed by Florida Statutes; • Evaluating possible mobility strategies that promote the purposes for which an exception may be proposed; and • Determining specific steps that would need to be undertaken by the City. II-14 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B. INTRODUCTION TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT The City ~ is located within an urbanized portion of a Metropolitan Planning Organization ~-~}- ~ .(METROPLAN ORLANDO). Therefore, the City is required by the State to adopt a Transportation Element, as opposed to a Traffic Circulation Element, and to coordinate the element with the long-range transportation plan of ~kr METROPLAN ORLANDO}. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a ~-"-~~multimodal transportation system that emphasizes accessibility by placing emphasis on public transportation systems; encourages the development of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban areas; promotes energy efficient development patterns; and protects air quality. An essential base for planning a transportation system is the Future Land Use Element. The Future Land Use Map - 2030 will determine where new or improved transportation facilities may be needed. The Transportation Element will assess the condition and capacity of the existing transportation facilities, project future needs, set Levels of Service (LOS) standards for roads and determine future system improvements. Roadway ' -'„__.~~~~LOS standards will be established to ensure that adequate facility capacity for future development is concurrently sufficient with the issuance of development orders and permits. These standards will be established for each roadway link consistent with the facility type, and current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) LOS guidelines. The transportation planning process in Seminole County is a joint effort among various federal, state, regional, county and municipal agencies working together with METROPLAN ORLANDO~ke This agency ensures that highways, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation facilities are coordinated and planned consistent with planned development in the urbanized area. . - , In September 2004, METROPLAN ORLANDO adopted the _ _ 2025 Long RancLe Transportation Plan :t~efor the Orlando Urban Area, a 20-year ~"~~'~~multimodal plan for guiding transportation improvements in the Orlando urban area (Orange, Osceola,, and Seminole C-counties). The plan is based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting future travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the region. The plan recommends road, highway, beltway, rail, and transit system improvements to be implemented by ?2025. The plan represents the best combination of financial resources and improvements to meet the goals and objectives of the study. C. INVENTORY An efficient transportation system should provide access to various land uses through alternative transportation modes. The overview of the existing -~,-~~multimodal transportation system within the City ~ - ~, provides the basis for analyzing existing transportation deficiencies and needs within the City. This section will identify existing roadway and transit facilities, availability of public parking facilities, airport and rail line systems, availability of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other ancillary services and programs. II-15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1. Road System TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT This section describes the major roadway facilities within the City, their jurisdictional responsibility, and their relative function to the City's circulation system. Historically, the City has been an automobile dependent, suburban community served by one major north- south County road, Tuskawilla Road, and one major east-west route, S.R. 434, which is primarily a 4-lane arterial highway. Other major roads in the City and vicinity are S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressway, S.R. 419, U.S. 17-92, Red Bug Lake Road, and East Lake Drive. The City's roadway network is displayed on Map II-1. This network of roads serves not only the residents and employees of Winter Springs, but also neighboring municipalities. .__...._ ..,.. .._ ..._ ...,...._ .~_ ,.._.. ......._,. ~~~1~T • ~.~„°`°,-.' ~'~°,;', ~ ~° ~,~,,.,~ ~~S.R. 417 (Seminole Expressway): -ri_„ /,...,._._„r__,,,_ A north-south _ -: four-lane divided limited access expresswax located along the eastern boundary of the City, which provides access to Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south.~~ ~ ~~,~~ ~ /~ _~~~~~~-- ~~ ~, ~`~_- • U.S. 17-92: A federal n~dorth-south principal arterial located along the west boundary of the City. It connects with Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. The route passes through Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Casselberry, Longwood, Winter Springs, Lake Mary and Sanford. It is currently a six-lane undivided facility ~}where adjacent to the City ~- - ~:, and four lanes north of Shepard Road. • S.R. 434: A state principal arterial that runs from ~~'~ ---<~`~~_ r,..:~_ .__,._ /wi,._a~ south of Altamonte Springs north to Longwood, then east through the center of Winter Springs to Oviedo, :-t~rr~then south past the University of Central Florida to ~..`~ /l..i,_._:..i T,..:__..S.R. 50 east of Orlando. S.R. 434 within the City ~~ is primaril~a four-lane facility-, with a portion of the road east of S.R. 417 consisting of a two-lane seament. S.R. 434 passes throuah the Town Center, the City's concentrated mixed-use downtown urban center. Because the Town Center is apedestrian-oriented environment, the posted speed of 45 miles per hour on S.R. 434 poses safety and other issues for pedestrian crossings. • S.R. 419: A state minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to U.S. 17-92 near Lake Mary. Within the City ~ ., it is a two-lane undivided facility. • Tuskawilla Road: A four-lane county minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to S.R. 426 near the Orange County line. ~''~~~ ~_ ..,.~ :, ._, .~a,_ i_,.:._,_ ~ : a a ~, c,_..._ i.,.~.. c,._:~:~._ • Red Bug Lake Road: A four-lane Fcounty principal arterial that runs from S.R. 436 in Casselberry east to S.R. 426 in Oviedo where it turns into Mitchell Hammock Road. II-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT • East Lake Drive: A realignment and widening of this facility was completed in 2008. It presently functions as a four-lane {county minor arterial that runs from Tuskawilla Road west to Seminola Boulevard which provides easy access to U.S. 17-92. The recent improvements to the facility provide a convenient alternative for many trips that would otherwise utilize S.R. 434. a. Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibilitx The jurisdictional responsibility of each roadway is described above. In summary, ~rrthe -- - ~,. -City's road system includes one limited access facility (S.R. 417), three state arterials~~T~~~?, ~U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434 and S.R. 419;1 and ~rrretwo County m~arterials, Tuskawilla Road. , _ and East Lake Drive~rJ-_. There is also one County collector (a portion of Shepard Road), .~~,' `--- ~,`,- ~,~~, {?}nineteen (19) City collectors, and three local roads included in the classification. b. Functional Classification Table II-1 , Table II-2 and Map II-1 A show the functional classification of major roads in the City - - ~,. The functional classification of public roads in this element is based on FDOT criteria, which consider quantitative and qualitative factors such as jurisdiction, land access, route length, and trip lengths. A road hierarchy is used to identify relative importance of roads within the system, provide guidance for ' -- ' ` .~ ~---~ ~ LOS and design standards, aid in establishing improvement priorities, identify maintenance responsibility, and assist in determining funding and financing policies. The hierarchy used in this element includes: (1) Limited Access Facilities: Designed to provide regional mobility via uninterrupted flow at high travel speeds for regional trips. Access spacing is generally on the order of one mile or more, and average travel speeds are above 40 miles per hour. There is no direct land access, and urban freeways are multi-lane, divided facilities. Lane access is always via ramps to major arterials or frontage roads. S.R. 417, ': ~~`~-.~' "' ~-~'.~ ~~;=,=-~~ (Seminole Expressway) is part of the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS~-r} and the only limited access facility within the City _ ~ -- ~.. II-17 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT (2) Arterials: Provide regional mobility via both uninterrupted flow and interrupted flow segments. Arterials provide mobility around and through urban and community cores, and accommodate relatively long trip lengths as opposed to providing access to adjacent properties. Arterials are sometimes further classified for performance as Class I, II, and III based on the number of signals per mile, access controls, geometric cross sections, and speed limits. (3) Collectors: Provide for movement between local streets and the arterial network. Collectors serve residential, commercial and industrial areas. (4) Local Roads: Provide direct access to abutting properties. Local roads accommodate traffic originating in or traveling to properties within a neighborhood, commercial or industrial development. Local roads are not considered part of the major thoroughfare system. c. Constrained Facilities `' ~` ",Subsection 339.155, n "~~~~~F_S., makes governmental police powers available to preserve and protect property necessary for transportation corridors and recommends that neededt-t~~k~rights-of-way be acquired as far in advance of construction as possible. FDOT requests that local governments identify constrained roadways in their comprehensive plans to ensure maintenance of the operating conditions, so that significant degradation in the ~=r~ rtLOS does not occur. A constrained roadway is one in which adding two or more through lanes to meet current or future needs is not possible due to Ti ~-: ~ i_ .. ~_ physical, environmental or policy barriers.z-n~~t~-a~«~(~~~n-~ :a...,4:r:..a ._ ~ .. ,a., ~__:4i,:._ 4i_ -..-:~ i:.v,:4. With the development of the Town Center and its pedestrian orientation, the conflicts and potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians continue to increase. To assist in maintaining the pedestrian orientation of the Town Center, the City of Winter Springs will coordinate with the Florida Department of Transportation to see if a variance to Rule 14-94, F.A.C. can be obtained. d. nCrash Locations _nCrash analysis is critical because it provides a tool for City and state officials to recommend appropriate safety measures.nCrash frequency along with roadway performance can be used to prioritize future roadway needs. Table II-3 shows ~r~crash data for '2007, compiled by Seminole County Traffic Engineering from reports provided by the Winter Springs Police Department. It shows those road segments with 5 crashes or more during that year, and Map II-2 visually depicts those areas. The road segment with the largest number of .~ ~ ~~incidents was S.R. 434 at Tuskawilla Road with X29 crashes.

Signalized Intersections The location of signalized intersections is shown on Map II-2. Most of the intersections in the City use stop signs rather than traffic signals. Traffic lights are located mainly along S.R. 434, S.R. 41 9, and Tuskawilla Road. f. Evacuation Routes The City ~ - adopted the Peace Time Emergency Plan in 1997. The plan outlines responsibilities for all departments in the City in the case of a man- made or natural disaster of local scale. For large-scale disasters, the City follows the County's Comprehensive Emergency Plan. This plan does not identify evacuation routes, as Seminole County is a "receiving area,,"; but lists the shelters available. All schools in the City ~ - y, can serve as shelter sites. 2. Public Transit System The fixed route bus transit system in Seminole County is operated by LYNX, which s `~~~~ ~_~~~`~ ,focuses its service on Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, with some service to Polk, Volusia and Lal<e Counties (see Map II-3).

Route 103 Generally follows the U.S. 17-92 corridor from Sanford to Casselberry. Route 47 primarily serves Oviedo from the University of Central Florida to Oviedo Marketplace. Neither link provides any service on S.R. 434 in the vicinity of the Town Center. A new east-west route (Link 4341. also known as the S.R. 434 Crosstown. connects Routes 103 and 47. The Crosstown service begins at Oviedo Marketplace, and runs along S.R. 417 to S.R. 434, then follows the S.R. 434 corridor through Longwood and Altamonte Springs terminating at the Rosemont Superstop in northwest Orlando. This service, funded by FDOT and Seminole County, is to be a 2-year demonstration project beginning in April 2009. It will provide the City with a much needed bus route to the City's major traffic _generators. The route will be a feeder route, providinG connectinG service to the planned Longwood Commuter Rail (SunRail) Station. SunRail is scheduled to begin service in 201 1 . As public transit service is implemented, the City will coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO and LYNX to assist in maintaininG the County's adopted LOS of 1.03 revenue miles per capita per year. 3. Parking System At this time, the City ~ - ~, does not have any significant public parking facilities. Major events which demand additional public parking are accommodated by a coordinated and cooperative effort between the City and private landowners. 4. Bicycle System The FDEP 's Office of Greenways and Trails owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a portion of which is located in the City ~` - ;,;. The Seminole County Parks and Recreation Department is in charge of maintaining the trail. An Interlocal Agreement exists between the City ~ and Seminole County regarding use and maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail. The City ,'s Parks and Recreation Department assisted with the design of the restroom facility located at the Black Hammock trailhead, located within the jurisdictional limits of the City, and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom facility. A 1.8-mile section of the trail corridor along S.R. 426 (south of Red Bug Lal<e Road) is owned by FDOT. The Cross Seminole Trailer currently runs from l~~ ~~ ~~<~ _'-- ~~~ Layer Elementary School in Winter Springs to the intersection of ~~~~rS.R. 434 and c~<~S_R. 426 in downtown Oviedo~rrr~. Other built sections of the trail (located in Seminole County) include from CR 46A south to Greenwav Boulevard in Lal<e Marv and from Milder Road to the Orange County Line. The Cross Seminole Trail connects with the Seminole Wekiva Trail via the I-4 Pedestrian Bridge in Lake Mary. Upon completion, the Cross Seminole Trail will ~=~a;~be a 34.5- mile IonG continuous trail IinkinG Altamonte SprincLs, Longwood, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo and connectinct to the Cady Wax Trail and the Orange County Trail System. The trail will run from Spring Hammock II-34 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Preserve in Winter Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect several parks including: Central Winds Park, Soldier's Creek Park, Big Tree Park, Greenwood Lal<es Park, Sweetwater Creek Parl<, Torcaso Park, Lawton House Park, and Spring Hammock. The trail will also connect seven schools: Layer Elementary, Winter Springs High School, Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary, Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo High School, and Lawton Elementary. ~ ~_ _ _.. ._ , ,_ "i, ..~.,, ...~. _...~_.. , ..... ....,. ...~ ._.. .. _~........~. ...~ ._.~...~. .~.~~. ~~.... ....... << - . The trail is currently under construction from the Oviedo Mall to S.R. 434. Design is complete on the segment from Mikler to Red Bug Lake Road and construction is scheduled to begin in late 2008. A pedestrian overpass is programmed to be constructed over Red Bug Lake Road beginning in the fall 2008, with a connection to S.R. 426 near the Oviedo Mall. The trail will also be realigned by the FDOT S.R. 426 widening project. The trail will cross at the signalized intersection of Marketplace Blvd & S.R. 426 and connect with the trail corridor along Aulin Avenue. Existing and future portions of the Cross Seminole Trail are depicted in the Recreation and Open Space Element. The Conceptual City Trails Network Map, located in the Recreation and Open Space Element, identifies opportunities for increased bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the City. The City has had recent success in securing funding for bicycle and pedestrian amenities through FDOT Grants and the "Safe Routes to School" program. The City should continue to explore opportunities for implementing additional interconnecting bike routes and trails. As the Town Center and GID develop, there may be an opportunity to provide shorter and easier bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between these activity centers. The configuration of the Cross Seminole Trail will take the trail from the Town Center south across S.R. 434 via an overpass, then east to the Black Hammock Trailhead where a second S.R. 434 crossing would be necessary to provide access to the GID to the north. Options fora more direct bicycle,~pedestrian route north of S.R. 434 linking the two centers could be considered by the City, but is should be noted that a wetland crossing would be required and undeveloped property might need to be purchased. The Citx could explore provision of pedestrian and/or bicycle accommodations along S.R. 434 that would provide a less direct route, but would likely minimize additional right-of-way needs. As noted above, the corridor could be shared with local transit service linking the Town Center and the GID.

Pedestrian System TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT .. ~ , The analysis of existing pedestrian conditions found that the City was well served bx sidewalks, but encouraged identification of missing links and prioritization of improvements to enhance pedestrian connectivity. The Cross Seminole Trail discussed in the Recreation and Open Space Element offers alternate pedestrian and bicycle paths into the heart of the Town Center and equestrian ~ hiking trails around the periphery The City has coordinated with the FDOT regarding various issues concerning S.R. 434 and general agreement has been reached on resolving many of the issues such as access involving the pedestrian-oriented Town Center area. However, the issue of posted roadway speed limits on S.R. 434 through the Town Center has not yet been resolved. FDOT will require a detailed engineering study to justify the City's request for a lower speed limit, in accordance with the applicable Florida Statutes. A speed study for S.R. 434 was conducted by FDOT in 2008 which resulted in reducing the posted speed limit from 50 mph to 45 mph from Central Winds Parkway to Tuskawilla Road. Further reductions may be achievable in conjunction with development of the Town Center. Approximately 1.5 miles of S.R. 434 passes through the area designated on the Future Land Use Map - 2030 as Town Center. Presently, this portion of the highway is part of a segment considered a Class I arterial with less than two signalized intersections per mile. At least one additional traffic signal within the Town Center area is planned at Michael Blake Blvd., which would result in more than two intersections per mile. As the Town Center continues to develop, it will be appropriate to readdress how the Town Center area is viewed in terms of roadway class and to work with FDOT to determine if the Town Center segment's characteristics should result in the segment being designated a Class II arterial with 2 to 4.5 signals per mile. The designation of the segment as a Class II arterial would allow for a change in the speed limit (currently 45 mphl to as low as 35 mph according to FDOT's generalized characteristics of arterial classes. A reduction of vehicle speeds on S.R. 434 through the Town Center would result in an environment much more conducive to the high levels of pedestrian activity anticipated for the Town Center at buildout. Such a reduction in vehicle speeds would be supported by FDOT's mission, the four key components of which are safety, mobility, economic prosperity, and the quality of the environment and communities. Although the Class II arterial designation would be based on an approximately 1.5 mile segment (FDOT guidelines for arterial facility analysis have a general recommended length of at least one mile), it might be appropriate to have a reduced speed limit only in the core of the downtown area. The City has identified the key corridor as being a 0.6 mile segment from Doran Drive to the Cross Seminole Trail Bridge. It should be noted that a 35 mph speed limit is currently in effect on S.R. 434 for an approximately 0.3 mile distance in downtown Longwood. To create a central core downtown pedestrian-friendly district in the Town Center, retrofits to S.R. 434 will be essential to the existing streetscape. Coordination will be necessarx II-37 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT with the Florida Department of Transportation to address proposed hardscape and landscaping alternatives including the narrowing of vehicular travel lanes, the demarcation of bicycle lanes, the addition of landscaped medians, on-street parking, and pedestrian crosswalks. Coordination with FDOT will also be required to determine if a policx constraint to prohibit the widening of S.R. 434 in the Town Center area is appropriate. 6. Intermodal Facilities Intermodal facilities are those transportation elements that accommodate and interconnect different modes of transportation and serve interstate, intrastate and international movement of people and goods. Some facilities considered intermodal include ports, airports, bus stations and train terminals. The Intermodal Surface Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation encourages the provision of efficient access to these intermodal facilities. There are no public airports within the City limits. The closest public airport is #~ie Orlando-_Sanford International Airport in Sanford. In late 2008, the facility was served by five airlines with regularly scheduled service along with several charter airlines. Direct flights are available to 31 destinations in the United States as well as four European cities. The City ~ - ~. has only one active rail line within the City limits. It is operated by CSX and runs along S.R. 419 and terminates just east of Wade Street, within the CitL ~- - ,Industrial area~rr-1s. It is currently used for freight trains only. FDOT, in cooperation with the federal and local governments, is planning to implement a commuter rail project (SunRail) that will follow a generally north-south route along 61 miles of existing track. The first phase, to consist of a 32.5-mile segment, will run from Orlando to DeBary and is anticipated to be operational in 2011. Twelve stations are planned for the first phase, with the nearest one to the City to be located in Longwood. LYNX's planned 434 Crosstown route will be a feeder route, connecting the City with the SunRail system. Until very recently, Seminole County was serviced by Greyhound Transportation Services with a bus terminal in Sanford. That facility is no longer included on the list of stations shown on the company's website. The City - is located along the south shore of Lake Jesup. The lake is currently used for recreational boating and fishing. ?mss-n:,~ ' ~ _~ Although it was used for steamboat transport services in the late 1800's, the lake is no longer used for transportation purposes. D. TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS Transportation can have a major role shaping the spatial and functional organization of a community. It can determine the size, scale, status and identity of a community. However, there are other contributing factors that need to be considered, such as the personal, social, physical, environmental, economic and cultural attributes of the community. This section will analyze existing conditions of the transportation system to provide a comprehensive assessment of the various transportation facilities and services, and their relationship with existing land uses. II-38 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT This section will also address growth trends, travel patterns, and interactions between land use and transportation, including the compatibility between future land uses and transportation systems. The City -- ~, is an integral part of the Orlando Urban Area. Additionally, the City is one of the larger municipalities within Seminole County and is located primarily between two principal arterials, S.R. 434 and Red Bug Lal<e Road. As such, transportation planning for Winter Springs requires close cooperation with other planning efforts within the Orlando region and Seminole County. For this reason, the transportation planning methodology used to develop the transportation plan must necessarily be compatible with transportation methodologies in adjacent jurisdictions. In order to accomplish this requirement, extensive use of data sources and planning models from the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUATS) and the Seminole County Transportation Management Program (TMP) were used in the development of the City's~~ ~ Transportation Plan. Existing deficiencies on city, county and state systems were defined and Capital Improvement Programs identified to resolve these transportation deficiencies. Forecasts of anticipated land use~socio-economic activities for 2010 were made and the validated transportation models applied against them.

Roadway Current Performance The 1985 Growth Management Act established two important responsibilities for local governments. The first was to set' -- ' ~ .~ ~°-~ - 'LOS} standards for public facilities within the jurisdiction as part of the comprehensive plan. The second was to ensure that the public facilities and services proposed in the Capital Improvements Element of the local comprehensive plan were available concurrent with the development. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires that adopted ' •-- ' ,.c -LOS II-39 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT standards be achievable and financially feasible. The standards set a minimum service level that the City must maintain for each of the public facilities, including roadways. The roadway LOS concept is defined in the FDOT - _ {€} Quality~Level of Service Standards Handbook (2002) as a qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow, and is measured by a scale of driver satisfaction. The scale ranges from "A" to "F", with "A" T representing the most favorable driving conditions and "F" representing the least favorable. FDOT adopted statewide minimum ' --' _ ` .~ •-- ~ LOS standards for the estate highway system. The minimum ' --' ` ~ ~--~ - LOS standards are used for planning applications, including the review of local government plans. The generalized maximum volume tables provided by FDOT are guidelines recommended for broad planning applications. They are to be used as a general guide to determine highway' -- ' ~ : •---~ - LOS and through- lane requirements. ~? Minimum ' -- ' !~~ ; •°-~ ~~ LOS standards recommended for the state system are shown c~rrin Table II-5. -r.,iT-~-~ ,,i„,~__,, ~~,.. _.~,~ i ,a-,:ir_ ~._,c~. _~r~rl~~~(~'T. ~r-:;~~ . Projected 2013 Levels of Service are presented in Table II-7. The standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as follows: • LOS A - A condition of road performance where traffic density is very low, with little or no restrictions in maneuverability. Drivers can maintain their desired speed with little or no delay. • LOS B - A condition of road performance where traffic density is low and vehicles travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speeds. • LOS C - A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow. Drivers might have limitations to maneuver and to increase speeds. • LOS D - A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable. Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers have little freedom to maneuver. In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable conditions. • LOS E - Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop-and-go situations may happen. In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and traffic density is high. • LOS F -This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to II - 40 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT operate at very low speeds. Stop-and-go situations are frequent and in extreme cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time.

The ?(?2007 FDOT Generalized Tables for Annual Average Daily Traffic volumes {:}et ~~were used ~ to evaluate roadway performance in the City _ ~ ` ~ (see Table II-6), and a. _' ~ -- a ~ ., ~---~ ~ LOS analysis was performed to determine existing deficiencies based on FDOT 2007 AADT Traffic Data. Deficiencies were identified in 2008 for U.S 17-92 from Shepard Road to S.R. 419 where U.S. 17-92 is a four-lane section. Seminole County is planning to widen this segment of U.S. 17-92 to 6 lanes; however, the construction phase of the project is not funded and the schedule for construction is uncertain. Deficiencies were also identified on S.R. 434 from S.R. 419 to Winding Hollow Blvd., and S.R. 434 from S.R. 417 to Deleon Street. While use of the 2007 FDOT generalized tables may indicate that certain facilities may not be operating at an acceptable LOS, a detailed analysis of those facilities might show that they are in fact, operating at an acceptable LOS. A traffic impact study is required from all new development in the City anticipated to Generate 300 or more daily trips. The study supplements FDOT and County traffic count data to provide additional detail to the actual impact of a proposed use on the capacity of the adjacent road network and whether the project satisfies concurrency. Map II-4 shows the most recent LOS data available for the primary links in the City's network. ~'"<~~~~ rr , ,,...a II - 41 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Table II - 6: Generalized Annual Average Daily Volumes for Florida's Urbanized Areas [ININTERR(IFTEDfLOW HIGHWAYS FREEWAYS Level of Service Interchange spacing? 2 mi. apart Lanes Divided A B C D E Level of Service 2 Undivided 2,2110 7,504 15,000 21,300 27,140 !.ones A B C D E 4 Divided 20,400 33,400 47,800 61,$44 70,200 4 23,804 39,640 55,200 b7,F00 74,604 6 Divided 30,500 44,500 71,640 42,700 145,4[]0 6 36,900 61,1041 85,3170 103,640 115,300 STATE TWO-WAY' ARTERIALS 8 49,900 82,700 115,304 140,2W I Sfi,000 Class 1 (a4,44 to 1..99 signalized intersections per mile] 10 63,000 104,200 145,500 176,900 146,404 Level of Service 12 75,900 125,80D 175,544 213,540 237,140 lanes Drvlded A H C D E 2 Undivided "" 4,200 13,8DD ]6,40D 15,900 Interchange spacing ~ 2 mi.apart 4 Divided 4,800 29,304 34,7f/0 35,700 ""' Level of Service 6 Divided 7,340 44,700 52,100 53,504 *"* Lanes A B C l) E 8 Divided 9.440 58,444 56,100 67,804 ssa 4 22,OOA 3b,000 52,000 67,2(10 75,544 6 34,840 56,504 81,7441 145,8011 120,200 Class [1 {2.04 to 4.SD signalized intersections per mile] 8 47,500 77,000 1 11,440 144,304 163,940 Level of Service 10 60,200 97,540 141,200 l $2,500 207,600 Lanes Divided A 13 C D E 12 72,900 115,100 170,904 221,1!)Q1 251,204 2 Undivided "* 1,904 11,200 15,400 16,300 d Divided •* 4,100 26,400 32,7(10 34,500 6 Divided '" 6,SOU 40,300 49,204 51,804 BICYCLE MOD): 8 Drvlded •• 8,540 53,304 63.800 67,004 (Note: Level of service for the bicycle mode in ¢his table is based on roadway geolnetrics at 40 mph posted speed and traffic conditions, not number of bicyclisu Class lU {more than 4.5 signalized intersections per mile and not using the facility.] (Multiply motorix~ed vehicle volumes shown below by number within primary' city central business district of an of directional roadway lanes 1o determine two-way maximum service volumes. ] urbanized area over 750,004] Faxed Shoulder!

Future Roadway Performance The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) was used for all of the City's travel demand forecasting. The traffic simulation process was accomplished as noted in Section 4 which follows. Consistency with the "'rrMETROPLAN ORLANDO model (OUATS) data and traffic zone structure was maintained through the process in forecasting the city's travel demand. Table II-~7 shows the ?9~9-2013 traffic conditions as projected. Deficiencies were identified in the 201 3 forecast for S.R. 419 from U.S. 17-92 to S.R. 434, S.R. 434 from S.R. 417 to Deleon Street and S.R. 434 from S.R. 41 9 to Tusl<awilla Road. However, the forecast did not account for additional collector roads added within the Town Center, which will help to alleviate the projected deficiency. In 2005, a traffic corridor study was prepared to analyze the Town Center and it showed that S.R. 434 could accept the traffic from the Town Center at build-out for the developments. Improvements to U.S. 17-92, S.R. 41 9, S.R. 434, and S.R. 417 are dependent upon State funding based on regional priorities, as determined by METROPLAN ORLANDO. The City continues to work with FDOT and METROPLAN ORLANDO to identify and implement improvements to the network. METROPLAN ORLANDO'S 2025 Lona Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) includes widening of S.R. 426 to 4 lanes from Pine Street to S.R. 434 in 2010 and widening of Seminola Boulevard to 6 lanes from U.S. 17-92 to Lake Drive (a widening to 4 lanes was completed in 2008). An unfunded Count project need identified in the 2025 LRTP is the widening of Red Bug Lake Road from S.R. 436 to Eagle Circle. The City has completed numerous capacity and safety proiects on City streets including turn lanes, paving and drainage improvements and construction of the Town Center collector roads and requires new development along the S.R. 434 corridor to include a cross-access easement to the adjacent properties with the intent of reducing traffic demand on S.R. 434. Improvements within Winter Springs and the surrounding roadwax network may alleviate or delay deficiencies identified in the 201 3 forecast. - - - - ~ - II - 46 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Table II - 7: Projected Year 2013 Roadway Link Levels of Service (LOS) ROADWAY FROM TO ND.

Model Development and Validation To adequately forecast future traffic conditions in a rapidly urbanizing area such as the City - - ~,, a set of transportation planning models must be developed and validated. In the case of the City - ~,, such models exist and these models have been previously used to develop City, regional and county wide plans. These models are contained in the model set documented for the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study Of UATS).. In order to provide the more detailed analysis required for the City - - ~;, this model set was modified. These modifications include the development of a more detailed TAZ set (microzones), a more detailed highway network, and the use of the Tt_`~T~+~~,T~--FSUTMS `" ' ' .~` These changes require the validation of the model set used in this process even though this model set is derived from and closely resembles the OUATS model set. This model set has been modified as detailed below. a. OUATS Model Set The transportation planning models used in the OUATS'~'.", ~ T ~~'~:", _'° :~ ._ -have evolved from a set of models developed in the mid- sixties and based upon extensive home interviews conducted at that time. The model set is divided into four general functions and modifications to each of these functions have occurred over the last twenty-five years. b. Trip Generation The existing OUATS trip generation model is a cross-classification person trip production model with attractions calculated using expressions derived from regression analysis. This model currently uses 11 purposes including special generator purposed for the major tourist attractions, the various universities and colleges in the region, and Orlando International Airport. The model requires extensive data not generally available such as the forecast of the median income and car ownership by zone for the calculation of home-based productions. c. Trip Distribution The OUATS trip distribution model utilizes each of the 11 purposes for which productions and attractions are generated. Friction factors for each of these 1 1 purposes have been developed, although the special generator purposes generally borrow friction factors from other purposes. There are not K-factors utilized in the model. d. Modal Split/Auto Occupancx The OUATS model set includes amulti-nominal logit expression for calculation of splits of trips to the transit sector. Auto occupancy is calculated with simple rates by purpose. The ~~modal split is system-sensitive in that it requires the coded description of a transit system. II-61 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN e. Traffic Assignment The current OUATS traffic assignmen equilibrium assignment with capacity network descriptions in accordance Transportation Planning System (UTPS) Transportation. f. Trip Generation Modifications TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT t procedure consists of c restraint. This process i with the 1979 version developed by the U S_ four-iteration applied using of the Urban Department of In order to make use of the data available from Seminole County and to avoid the necessity to forecast income and car ownership as required by the OUATS trip generation model, modifications were made to this model. The trip generation models used are based upon the OUATS models, but these models incorporate simpler rate expressions instead of the more complex cross-classification models. These models have successfully been used numerous times in Winter Springs and in the greater Orlando area including ~:.~,:~ "~ ~-~-,- .~~'~~Seminole County~r te~:~. The models were used to forecast trip generation for the ~,< .City's 2005 Transportation Study and the 2007 Impact Fee Studer The models forecast vehicle trips instead of person trips so they additionally do not require a separate auto occupancy model. , _ ~~ g. Use of OUATS 1 1 Trip Purpose Models Since trip generation expressions were available for each of the OUATS nonspecial generator purposes, it was decided to use the entire 11 purpose models available in OUATS. This required incorporating the special generator expressions available from OUATS into the Winter Springs Model Set. This use of the full OUATS model purposes additionally permitted use of the OUATS friction factors. 5. Public Transit Performance -The new LYNX route offers the potential to significantly increase the capacity of the City's transportation network.- while reducing traffic congestion, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. One average size bus at capacity can carry as many passengers (approximately 40 persons) as 10 or more private automobiles. However, any impact in LOS for S.R. 434 will not be apparent (or documented) for several years. Successful transit systems emphasize the land use and travel demand relationship necessary to address congestion problems. The most important factors in encouraging transit use are mixed land uses and an urban form, which provides street connectivity and access to the pedestrian, transit and bikeway systems. II-62 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Transit facilities and ~"-~~multimodal terminals also are important for the success of the transit system. These facilities allow for transfers among the various modes within the transportation system. Public transit ' -- ' ~ ' ~ LOS criteria tsare based on the operational and service characteristics of the transit system. Operational characteristics include the number of vehicles operated in maximum service, the amount of service supplied, the average speed, and the number of days the service is provided. Service characteristics include geographic location and service area population. These characteristics are monitored by the local transit provider, but the City could be monitoring ' --'.~ ` ; ~---~ ~ LOS for transit performance based on headway standards. Headway is the time that separates vehicles moving in the same direction on the same route or track. The emphasis should be on reducing headways to encourage public transit ridership. The new LYNX rtCrosstown bus route ~ - - - ~: , rr-~ernow serves all of the City's major traffic generators~attractors identified on Map II- 3. In analyzing access to transit service, m~~tr-,~national planning studies consider one-quarter to one-half mile on either side of the route ~=rt~the maximum distance that people would be willing to walk to use transit. 6. Other Transportation Systems The City's current transportation network is based primarily on a road network serving vehicular traffic, with very little attention given to other means of transportation. The City needs to start establishing facilities that will encourage the use of alternative transportation systems. Parking is an essential component of the overall transportation system. The decision of a commuter to drive alone or to use alternative transportation modes such as ride-sharing or public transit depends to a large extent on the cost, accessibility and availability of parking. As the City grows the need for these types of facilities will increase. Bicycling is a viable mobility alternative. Bicycle networks provide a commuting alternative as well as a recreational asset. The City has made efforts to establish a bicycle system. However, the adopted five-year plan was not achieved within that timeframe. The existing bicycle plan will need to be updated to plan for the expansion of the current system. _ ~ ~ _ ~ _ _ - Subsection 335.065, F.S., requires with only a few exceptions, that bicycle and pedestrian ways be established in conjunction with the construction, reconstruction, or other change of any state transportation facility. Pedestrian mobility is greatly influenced by the mix and proximity of land uses as well as the availability of adequate, unencumbered sidewalks, liahtina, and other pedestrian facilities. Adequate land uses and appropriate urban design would encourage walking for short trips and for accessing transit facilities and services. The City Code currently requires developers to provide sidewalks in new subdivisions. II-63 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 7. Future Transportation Planning This section provides recommendations for creating a safe, convenient, and energy efficient ~~~~~'~~multimodal transportation system, coordinated with future land uses, plans and programs of the Seminole County, METROPLAN ORLANDO~~, and FDOT. Since World War II, roadways have been designed primarily for automobiles. Very little attention has been given to accommodating other modes of transportation such as bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. The goal of this Transportation Element is to look at roads as ~~~~~'~~multimodal interconnected transportation corridors, and design them accordingly. Intergovernmental coordination is essential for the most cost-effective provision of transportation system improvements. Clearly, the City _ ;does not possess the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for the entire transportation system within the City. Seminole County and FDOT have financial responsibility for county roads and state highway system roads, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to review the transportation improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In this way, the effort and dollars expended by the City to improve its traffic circulation system may be complemented and perhaps enhanced by the activities of the County and FDOT. One area of coordination should include the preservation and protection of rights-of-way for identified future roadway improvements and construction. With the escalating value of land and costs entailed in right-of-way acquisition,, it is essential that the City protect roadway corridors in advance ~~- ~~~ '~~~" "~~~ ~~ ~~- .~ ~'~~~~ ~~~.of development. Increased right-of-way costs reduce the funds available for actual construction. The City needs to utilize such techniques as setback requirements, zoning restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official transportation maps to preserve and protect existing and future rights-of-way. Other measures are discussed in the policy section. a. Future Transportation Map - 2030 The purpose of a Transportation Map is to graphically depict the location of all proposed collector and arterial roadways and any limited access facilities, airports, rail lines, and other related facilities. I--Map II-7A presents the proposed Future Transportation Map - 2030 for the City _ ~ - ~:. This map shows the proposed roadway functional classification.

In addition to incorporating roadway design standards in the City Code, the City will start requiring that new developments be interconnected to enhance the transportation network. Development design must provide connectivity and access between adjacent residential developments and nearby land uses. Traffic calming techniques can be used to protect neighborhoods, although street design that utilizes curving streets and on-street parl<ing will naturally reduce speed and the need for other traffic calming methods. b. Transportation Concurrency Alternatives Several alternatives are available to the City to assist in meeting Florida's concurrency management requirements in the Urban Central Business District (Town Center and ~ _ _- _ < ,elsewhere in the community. These alternatives are provided for in Chapter 163, F.S. and Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. The statute recognizes that planning and public policy goals may conflict with the requirement that transportation facilities and services be available concurrent with the impacts of development, and it provides for exceptions from the concurrencx requirement for transportation facilities if certain criteria are met. Available alternatives include a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), a Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA), a Lona-term Transportation Concurrency Management System (LTTCMS), a Multimodal Transportation District (MMTD), a Transportation Concurrency Backlog Area (TCBA), and an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. An extensive discussion of each alternative and some of the requirements that must be met is included in the City's 2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. r - -- - c. Future Public Transit Plan A transportation system that offers ~~,-~~multimodal opportunities has the potential to absorb a significantly higher number of person trips than a system that focuses solely on accommodating vehicle trips. Improved transit service frequencies and new routes offer a viable transportation alternative and promote transit use. ~~With the new LYNX Crosstown route, the City will need to --work closely with METROPLAN ORLANDO~~-a~_~, LYNX, and ~~ II-70 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT ";~~-'~~~. ~''~~ ~~'~- z,-~" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~Seminole County to coordinate its support and ~t~participation in the transit system _ _ The City will help achieve increased ridership by improvina pedestrian access, encouraging compact development, - - -, ~~~ ~~. , and requiring the provision of transit facilities and amenities where t~-rr-Fwa rranted. d. T''~Pedestrian Ott}Plannina ~;~f=~rl,=~r~ln order to develop a pedestrian improvement construction program to address~~City streets lacking sidewalks, a ~ecity-wide inventory of sidewalks, crosswalks and other pedestrian facilities must be completed. By identifying missing links in the pedestrian system, the inventory will allow prioritization of improvements. Implementation of these improvements will provide pedestrian connectivity to the overall transportation system. Particularly important will be an inventory of sidewalks within one-quarter to one-half mile of the new LYNX Crosstown bus route. e. ~'',~~Bicycle ~tt~Planning An important action needed by the Citv in the immediate future is the Plannina of a City trail system to interconnect with the LYNX Crosstown bus route and the Cross Seminole Trail. Such a system could result in reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasina bus ridership by providina alternative transportation options. The City currently owns a substantial portion of FP&L easement which could be the beginnings of this network. In order to accomplish this, several policies relating to trails have been added to the Recreation and Open Space Element. Bicycle lanes should be implemented on existing roadways, where right-of-wax allows. f. TSM/TDM Strategies Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) are options for communities trying to add roadway capacity without having to construct costly new facilities. The ultimate goal of the TDM program is to influence people to shift to more efficient modes of transportation and to travel during off-peak hours. TSM strategies, on the other hand, aim to affect the actual supply of transportation services.

(Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element. Policy 1.5.4) CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B. INTRODUCTION HOUSING ELEMENT Winter Springs is committed to Smart Growth, which can be defined as, "growth that is economically sound, environmentally friendly, and supportive of community livability-growth that enhances the community's quality of life". Housing is an important element in the analysis of present and future characteristics of a community. The type, structure, and condition of an area`s housing stock influence the community`s quality of life. Neighborhoods play an important part in determining the vitality, stability, and way of life of the residents within a community. Astable community offers a variety of housing units that appeal to a wide range of age groups, income levels, and family sizes. A proper mix of different housing types and housing which lends itself to accommodating different life styles helps to encourage the development of a well-balanced community. Without a heterogeneous population, a community is limited in the most efficient allocation of economic resources necessary to sustain a valuable, economically vibrant community. Housing also impacts the economic strength of a community and provides a basis for directing the manner and type of economic development within an area. Since housing helps determine the economic strength of a community, it should be the objective of the City to protect ~~existing housing values and develop policies that result in the appreciation of existing neighborhoods. In addition, the objective of new development should be to contribute to favorable quality of life conditions within the community, as well as reduce housing deficiencies that presently exist. Purpose of the Element The purpose of the Housing Element is to: • Identify present ~nconditions and ~i~types of housing stock within the community. • Analyze housing trends and determine the deficiencies and causes of those trends, which may negatively affect the community in the future. • Develop appropriate plans, programs, and policies to meet the objective of providing adequate and safe housing for the residents of the community. The Housing Element analyzes the present condition of housing within Winter Springs by examining the characteristics and conditions of the current housing stock, as well as the characteristics of the households --min the City. An overview of current low to moderate-income housing is presented, as well as an inventory of group homes and institutional housing. Based on population projections and trend indicators of housing growth, the demand and supply of housing is discussed, including a determination of the need for replacement of existing substandard housing. The demographic characteristics of the present and projected City residents are useful in determining the future demand for housing types and the location of these units. The private sector normally takes care of the housing supply, but an analysis of projected ~ -a...__,.,a :., ._.-..,....~,•. ~ _ .........,,..~__.~ --.rdemand is presented. Recommendations are made to respond to the failures of the private sector to meet the housing needs for all of the community. III - 1 2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Because of the size of the City -- ., and its suburban location relative to the rapidly growing Orlando urban area, the housing market has predominantly been demand based. This suggests that developers have not viewed Winter Springs as an area for speculative development. Demand based development means that units are not constructed for an assumed or speculative market that leads to demographic conditions created by development. The ~-. ~: demographic and economic forces, which naturally form a community, have been the predominant influence on new development in the Winter Springs area. - ~ - - - < -- A shift toward denser housing is now occurring in certain areas of the City, particularly in the Town Center; this trend toward denser housing may also assist the City in meeting its workforce housing needs. The purpose of this Element is to provide an inventory of existing housing; to forecast trends of the housing market; to locate possible deficiencies within the private sector and suggest ways to aid the private sector in eliminating those deficiencies; and to reinforce the policies and recommendations of the previous Comprehensive Plan that are still appropriate. Of prime importance in this area is the continuation of zoning and building policies that exist to promote public safety and community harmony. At the same time, these policies provide support for new development of higher quality that meets the needs and goals of the community. It is not the purpose of this Plan to dictate control over natural nonspeculative market forces that exist in the private sector. In fact, tampering with the market would be counterproductive considering the efficiency of the private sector in meeting housing demand in the past. 2. Growth Trends Winter Springs is predominately a residential community of X34,390 persons=ke .. in 2008. The original Village of North Orlando consisted of standard suburban homes on quarter--acre or larger lots centered around the western section of S.R.~;R 434. The Village served as a bedroom community to the City of Orlando. Through the early to mid 1960's, the City also functioned as a small residential community to the Sanford Naval Air Station, but the homes that were occupied by military families were abandoned by 1968. In 1970, the City's population was only 1,161 persons and concentrated on the western side of town. In 1972, the name was changed to Winter Springs to avoid the confusion associated with the geographic location reference implied by the original name. The name Winter Springs was decided upon, as it was the name of the significant new Planned Unit Development (PUD), now Known as Tuscawilla. The name of the PUD was adapted from the name of the main access road known as Tuskawilla Road. By 1 980, the new Tuscawilla PUD began attracting a great number of residents to the eastern half of the City. The majority of the City's growth occurred between 1970 and 1980 as it increased by nine-folds _- - _" -from 1,161 residents to 10,475~H residents. Between 1980 and 1990, the population increased by 11,676 residents-, slightly more than double. Between 1990 and 2000, population growth continued to be robust, but began III - 1 3 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT to slow ,~~, ' ~•, -•- ,~, ~', increasing by ~-i39% or ~s8,709 residents. -r.,i.i.. rrr ~ over this time period, an average annual growth rate of 3.9%. Table III-1 a shows population figures for the City and the County for the last ?E}47 years, and Table III-1 b also includes population projections- through 2030. Growth for Winter Springs from 2000 to 2010 was anticipated to occur at a slower rate than from 1990 to 2000, even prior to the recent decline in housing values and sales. The City's population actually fell slightly from 2007 to 2008.

Population growth has also been substantial in Sanford, as well as in Lake Mary, although Lake Mary's total population is still less than half of the Winter Springs population. Population growth has been nearly flat in Altamonte Springs, Casselberry and Longwood since 2000. Neighboring cities. Lake Jesup. and unincorporated areas consisting of developed areas and conservation lands encircle the City. The remaining developable acreage in the Citx is somewhat limited, with the Town Center and the Greeneway Interchange District providing the largest future development areas. Nearly 30 enclave areas have also been identified, but these total less than 400 acres. The City analyzed buildout population based on these constraints and prepared population projections. Based on the evaluation of population trends and buildout conditions, Geometric extrapolation projections were selected for the overall updated Comprehensive Plan population projections. The population projections used in this Comprehensive Plan anticipate a population of III - 15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT 35.857 for the year 2010. 40,319 for 2020, and 44,538 for 2030. These figures are lower than corresponding figures from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing (36.929, 43.1 14, and 47,921 , respectively. While the City finds the Shimberg population projections to be higher than anticipated and exceeding the projected buildout population, for the purposes of the Housing Element and projection of housing needs, the Shimberg data are used as they provide very detailed information that would otherwise not be available. The Shimberg data is thus useful in assessing the detailed distributions across categories (e.g. age, income), while the total figures are considered in light of the City's projected buildout and population projections.

There ~~were no migrant worker ~rr~units within the City of Winter Springs, and only ~rfour 4 units in the County. As foreclosures have been increasing in recent years across the country, Florida has consistently been among the top five states with the highest foreclosure rates. This is likely to have increased the vacancy rate in the City since the 2000 Census. However, to what degree the vacancy rate has been affected is unclear as estimates by the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission projected a doubling of the vacancy rate to 9.2 percent for the City in 2006, while the 2005- 2007 American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau indicates a decrease to a vacancy rate of 3.6 percent for the City. Economic trends in 2007 and 2008 are likely to have increased the Census estimated figure somewhat.

Median gross rent for renter-occupied units in the City of Winter Springs was $727 in 2000, an increase of approximately 20 percent from the 1 990 gross rent of $609 ~~, "~"". T'',~,. The 2000 figure was 1~krr-slightly less than the median gross rent in Seminole County ($.- - _ _ 731) which also increased more sharply from 1990 to 2000. Nearly four (4) percent of the rental units in the City, and ~t~iF~eleven (1 1) percent in the County, had rents below $500. Approximately ~-Fr5.73 percent of rental units in the City had no cash rent in 2000. It is probable that these rentals are occupied by custodians of seasonal units, the elderly renting from relatives or site management for no cash rent. The median contract rent for the City was $631 in 2000 increased from $496 in 1990. This indicates that expenses relating to rentals, above contract rent, were over $100 per month in 2000. This figure would include services and utilities not included in the rental price of the unit, such as electricity and insurance.

The 2000 Census shows that the median value of housing units in the census tracts in the western portion of the Citx continues to be lower than the median value of housing units in the eastern part of the City. This pis due to the lower cost of housing in the older portions of the City, as opposed to the country club setting of the Tuscawilla PUD on the east side. z.~'~'~TTT-Table III-16 at the end of the Housing Element shows owner-occupied housing units by home value in "T~2000 for both the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County. ~''~~~ '~.`~-~'~--`~_~~~ ~~'~~~--~~~~- Housing values in the CityT -are generally higher than those in the County, with approximately ~~Fiseventy (70) percent of the units in the City valued at $100,000 or more.

Housing Conditions a. Physical Conditions Based on the fact that most housing units in the City are less than thirty years old, it is evident that, '~ ;'' -.~ `'~ l~ ;:r~;~~ there are no major deterioration problems in the City. The older homes that were part of the original town are in most part still occupied. As a result, very few properties have been left unattended or allowed to degrade below standard. The City of Winter Springs has actively been pursuing the rehabilitation of any deteriorating structures in the City. The goals and objectives of this element will require that the City conduct a periodic detailed survey-m-~T to determine the structural conditions of the City's housing stock. The following terms and definitions shall be used in the survey: Standard is defined as those units that are structurally sound with minimal defects that are easily remedied through normal maintenance. Units that display environmentally questionable conditions, but have no major structural defects are also considered "standard." Substandard is defined as a unit that has deteriorated, but can be brought up to standard conditions with reasonable rehabilitation Deteriorated is defined as a structure that has deteriorated to where rehabilitation would exceed 50% of replacement value. The Citv maintains a database of complaints regarding built structures that is able to tract repairs and document information related to the building condition. Also, the 2000 Census provides an indicator of housing that is substandard by measuring certain "quality of housing" indicators such as the lack of complete plumbing, kitchen or heating equipment, .~~, ~ ~'~ '.~ ~'- _ ~ .~ ---.~~ ~~ ,,-,~ ~" III - 23 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT T':~'TTable III-7, which summarizes these statistics for the City and the County, indicates that the - -majority of housing condition indicators of the City's housing stock .~~~ ;~~~~;~.~~~~<~~~;- ~~ " ~- `~,~~~ ~rrcompare favorably to those of the County. . , The City has no knowledge of how units described in the Census (Table III-7) would be lacking complete kitchens or plumbing fixtures, unless units have been allowed to deteriorate or if garages have been leased for housing, The City enforces the Florida Building Code for rehabilitation of existing buildings and construction of new buildings which requires all units to have complete kitchens and plumbing fixtures prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy. In 2008, the City adopted the International Property Management Code 2006 edition, which delineates the procedures for condemnation and demolition of unsuitable units. Adoption of this document has enabled the City's Code Enforcement division to take action against property owners who are letting their properties deteriorate or who are leasing substandard housing to tenants. Generally, Code Enforcement is made aware of the problem by tenants who file a complaint against their landlord. The 2004 hurricane season impacted many houses in Winter Springs. With the exception of one home with substantial roof problems that remains unrepaired, the hurricane damages resulted in improvement (especially roof replacements) covered by insurance. This is likely to have had an effect on the quality of housing figures from the 2000 Census.

According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, overcrowding exists if there are more than 1.01 persons per room living in a dwelling unit. In making these computations, a "room" is defined as a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, finished recreation room, or enclosed porch suitable for year-round use.

Phase I consisted of the acquisition of 52 quadro-plex rental units in April 2000 and the rehabilitation of those 52 units for conversion into home ownership within atwo-year period. The 52 units located on Rhoden Lane and Kristi Ann Court were completed and sold. However, before additional phases of the project on Lori Ann Lane and Cory Lane could be completed, the foundation became financially insolvent. The City utilized $909,655 of the "Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1999" as start-up funds with the intent that the loan would be paid back to the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation Fund, as the units were sold. The intent was to recover at least 1 O1 % of the initial investment. With the sale of these units, the City actually recovered 104% of its investment. Currently there are no plans for future rehabilitation work; however, the 306 Revolving Rehabilitation Fund has a balance of over $1 million available for any improvement project that the City would deem appropriate. Additionally, the City does currently own one unit, obtained as an equity conversion when the foundation became insolvent. III - 25 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4.

As such, mobile home communities can help support the heterogeneous environment beneficial to the City as a whole. ' ' ~ 6. Historic Housing The Division of Historical Resources of the Florida Department of State maintains a central archive for Florida's historical and archaeological sites Known as the Florida Master Site File (FMSF). These properties are - ~. III - 27 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT . ~ ~ usually-tt~r at least fifty years old, and adequately located and documented.

As there are over 170,000 historical structures and archaeological sites included in the FMSF and these properties are not required to meet any minimum level of historical or scientific importance, a more useful tool for determining sites with historical value might be the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). To be included on the NRHP, a property must meet age, integrity, and significance criteria. A December 2008 online search showed that there were no properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the Citx of Winter Springs. 7. Housing Construction Activity The City of Winter Springs tracks housing construction activity through the building permit process. A summary of building activity, by month, is reported to the U.S. Census Bureau in "Reports of Building or Zoning Permits Issued and Local Public Construction" (Form C- 404). T',_'_i- rrr ~ + Table III-9 presents housing construction activity by type of housing units permitted. The City has issued permits for approximately ~fr~)-1 ,41 1 new dwelling units between ~-t1--1~~412000 and m~~~-~~9{~;;2007. The majority of these units, ~H?~-r1 ,353, have been single-family units. In this data, townhomes and mobile homes are included in the single-family designation. Data from the City indicates that nearly half of the single-family units were townhomes in the time period. The City issued 168 certificates of occupancy for townhomes in 2007 and 2008 and only 21 certificates of occupancy for single family detached homes over the same two-year period.

Housing conditions in the City are excellent, with very low percentages of substandard housing or overcrowding. The following section will forecast housing needs based on population projections, and will address land requirements, expected housing supply and the system of housing delivery. The information contained in this section was obtained from the following sources: 1990 and 2000 United States Census, and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. Shimberg Center population projections are higher than those of this Comprehensive Plan, but proportionate trends are expected to be similar. Housing statistics provided in this element are only projections based on statistical models and past trends. These projections may not reflect actual conditions or future housing demands and trends of the Winter Springs community, private property owners,, and housing policies and strategies duly adopted by the City. For example, the City has been focusing on areas like the Town Center to intensify residential development and has also focused services and amenities to serve as an attractive location for retirees. These local trends are discussed as relates to the projection data available from the Shimberg Center. It will be important for new residential development in the Town Center to support and enhance the economic viability of the Town Center. Household Characteristics In order to adequately plan for future housing demand and City service needs, population and housing projections have been developed. The following section will address expected changes in household age, size, and income, as these factors will influence the type and size of housing that will be needed. a. Household Size The size of households is one of the most important elements in determining the housing need of the population. The smaller the household, the smaller the size of the dwelling unit necessary to house the family in a comfortable, safe manner. III - 30 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Also, given a certain household size, alternatives to the traditional detached single-_family ~~dwellings on quarter (1 /41 acre lots may better serve the needs of certain households. Such alternatives include mobile homes and smaller, higher density multi-family units. ~~In 2000, the average household size in rthe City ~r}was 2.69, slightly higher than that of the County ~=:rtat 2.59 persons per household ~~e--rt~~-wand higher still than the household size of 2.46 for the State. There has been a trend toward the reduction of household size in the U.S. and Florida since the 1960~s. Household size projections prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing :reflect this trend. ~,~~~~TTT-TTable III-10 shows that the most predominant household size in the City is 1 -2 persons per household, with almost ~fi56% percent of the total -~~~. - ~~ ~~~~ ~, ~ ~" ~~ ~'~ '~~~--. Households with 3 to 4 persons accounted for ~=-~-,234.8%, n- and with 5 or more persons accounted for 9.~7%. The average household size has decreased from 2.74 in 1990 to 2.~-;x=69 in 2000. The City's household size is projected to continue to decrease to 2.40 in 2030 reflecting various factors such as the aging~opulation, smaller family sizes, and increase in smaller housing units in areas such as the Town Center. The projections, shown in ~ ~ ~ - ~< ,ter, '~. ,t,,..i...~,~., i.._ ~1~=~t~ , ~ a i~ i...,,` „i.,.i,a` i.__ ~i.,. ~~`~'r.Table III-1 0 indicate that the City had 12,637 households in 2005, and can expect to have 17.348 households by the year 2020. The projections of household composition are associated with the Shimberg population projections, which exceed the population projections prepared by the City for the Comprehensive Plan and the anticipated buildout population. Therefore the projection of the total number of households in 2030 presented in Table III-10 exceeds the total number of households anticipated by the City's population projections (18.557 units). However, the trends in household size and tenure are anticipated to be reasonably reflected by the Shimberg data.

Population by Age HOUSING ELEMENT In order to project the type of housing needed through the year ?2030, projections of the age of the City residents were calculated. The age of the City residents is an important factor because it influences the type of housing necessary to house different individual lifestyles and family life cycles. Elderly households require different housing than younger households. Families desire larger dwelling units with adequate storage, and placed in areas accessible to schools and recreation areas. Younger seniors, aae 55-74 tend to have a more active lifestyle than more elderly seniors, 75 and over. This quickly growing younger group, made up of so-called "Empty Nesters" and the newly retired, may require a different set of amenities than the elderly or younger family households. These younger seniors may not require the larger dwelling units and proximity to schools favored by families nor the care-giving of elderly seniors. Thus, smaller dwelling units with ample access to active leisure and recreational facilities are often a higher priority Also, age reflects levels through the lifetime income cycles of individuals, i.e., dissaving, saving, and retirement. These income periods, correlated with age, provide insight into the cost of new housing that will be in demand. z„i.i.. rTr 'Table III-11 presents ~~expected changes in the age of the population between 1990 and ~~2030 as projected by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. _ _- ~- - ` - ~; - . ~..,.... ~ no: i non ~~ ~n coo. ~n~ n 4i3 .. - - While the Center projects the population of the City to grow 51.33% between 2000 and 2030, all ape categories through ape 44 are anticipated to prow at rates lower than that. Significantly higher increases are projected for the 55-64 category (88.95%1, the 65-74 category (194.41%), and the 75+ category (299.16%). The 35-44 age group will retain the highest proportion of the population in 2030 of any of the ape categories shown at 13.8%, but will decrease from the proportion of 17.9% in 2000. As noted previously, while the total population projections appear high, the trends in the City's aae distribution are anticipated to be reasonably reflected by the Shimberg data.

Source: 2000 Census, STF3A, U.S. Census Bureau; Shimberq Center for Affordable Housing 2006 As reflected in the projections of population by age. the City's population is aging. The median age in the City has gone from 34.05 in 1990 to 37.4 in 2000. _ .. ~ - .. - . .The City's need for elderly housing, including assisted living facilities, is expected to generally increase based upon Shimberq projections. There are a number of programs and aL?proaches the City may encourage or implement to achieve the goal of providing housing options to support the aging opulation. Options may include: • Assisted Living - a term used to reference the housing arrangement for people who are able to continue to live on their own and do not require full time medical care but need assistance in taking care of daily activities such as, personal care, cooking, and/or assistance with housekeeping, etc. ALFs are residential communities that are equipped with supportive, personal and health care services (nonmedical) and encompass a variety of living arrangements such as continuing care. group homes or in one's own home. Types of ALFs include: o Adult Family Care Homes -single family homes in which room and board, supervision and personal care services are provided to no more than five adult residents at a time. o Continuing Care Retirement Communities - private home communities that offer active seniors a variety of resources in which to socialize and enjoy their golden years. This option allows elders the opportunity to purchase services, amenities and future medical care, at the same time that their home in the community is purchased. III - 34 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT O Senior Apartment Complexes - private apartment communities, which provide limited communal services, such as activity programs, transportation services and evening meals to its residents. Owners of these housing complexes usually only rent to individuals that are 55 years old or older, often targeting the younger, independent and more active seniors. o Nursing Homes - long-term care facilities that provide 24-hour medical and personal care, housekeeping services and rehabilitative services to seniors who are suffering from chronic illnesses, recovering after major surgery or who are physically weak and unable to live on their own. • Communities for a Lifetime (CFAL) - is a statewide program initiated by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs aimed at creating a safe and nurturing place for people of all apes, especially elderly citizens. Participating municipalities use existing resources and state technical assistance to make crucial civic improvements such as: o Increase housing options to support independent living and active, adult communities, serving people age 55 or older, o Provide health care services and elderly facilities such as senior centers, o Provide for safe and affordable alternative to driving, o Ensure equitable accessibility and safer transportation routes, o Foster business partnerships, o Distribute community-wide education programs on available resources and services, o Implement, encourage a more efficient use of natural resources, and o Support volunteer opportunities. In 2005. Winter Springs adopted Resolution 2005-46, supporting the Communities for a Lifetime initiative. c. Households by Income One of the most influential variables that affect housing type and community trends is the income of an area's households. Income impacts "housing affordability", which in turn impacts housing cost, housing type and size, lot size, and neighborhood composition. Based on standard criteria for various public assistance programs, households were divided into four income groups: Very Low Income -less than 50 percent of -" '~<"~ "_._,,.Y...the Area Median Income (AM11• III - 35 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Low Income - 50 to 80 percent of tr~eri~:-n3AMl. Moderate Income - 80 to 1 20 percent of ~}AMI. HOUSING ELEMENT Middle to High Income -greater than 1 20 percent of ~}AMI. , ~ _ ~ _ According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the generally accepted definition of affordability, as it pertains to housing, is for a household to pay no more than 30 percent of its annual income on housing. "Cost-burdened" households pay more than 30% of income for rent or mortgage costs. Table III-12a presents the percentage of income paid for rent or mortgage costs by income range. In 2005, 3,005 Winter Springs households (24%) paid more than 30% of income for housing. By comparison, 25% of Seminole Countx households and 29% of households statewide are similarly cost-burdened. Households paying 50 percent or more of their annual income are considered "severely cost burdened." 1,1 10 households in Winter Springs (9%Lpay more than 50% of income for housing. By comparison, 1 0% of households in Seminole Countx and 29% of households statewide are severely cost-burdened. (Shimberg, 2007). Table III-12b below shows historic and projected households by income range for the City and the County, and z~,ia. TTr ' ~ ;~„~---, Table III-18 show projections of household income by tenure. ~: As presented in Table III-5, the median household income in the City in „~1 999 was $~H-3Er~r53,247, while in the County it was $+49,326. In _- , - "' - 1999, the majority of the City households were ~}in the moderate to high=income categories ~ _ However, 1 2.5% of City households were in the low category and 27.2% of City households were in the very-low category. The household income projections, which were prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, show that the distribution of households by income is expected to remain constant over the next ten years. The proportion of very_low- income household group is expected to have a slight increase, while the middle-to- high group is expected to have a proportional decrease. As noted previously, while the projections of total population and total households appear high, trends in the distribution of the City's households by income are anticipated to be reasonably reflected by the Shimberg data.

Source: 2000 Census; 2000-2030 Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, 2006 To ensure community viability, the City's housing stock should include diverse, affordable, and accessible housing. New housing units should be developed and coordinated with demonstrated need. Options for affordable and work-force housing should be created that do not diminish neighborhood character. The City allows density increases and mixed uses in areas like the Town Center that can provide for more affordable housing options (type and number). The City has discouraged concentrations of affordable housing and employed housing surveys and code enforcement to ensure quality of housing, 2. Projected Housing Needs Housing need projections were prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing based on household projections, household income and housing costs.

As noted previously, the Shimberg projections for population and number of households are considered to be high with respect to analysis of the City's growth and build-out population.

A greater emphasis on units designed with certain features that the elderly population will require, such as smaller units that are barrier free and easily accessible, may be required. Little data exists with respect to the disabled population. The housing problems of this population relate largely to accessibility. Physical barriers such as narrow doorways, lack of ramps, counter heights, and appliance design limit the supply of housing suitable for this group. _ _ - . - . .. -. -Winter Springs has adopted the Florida Building Code which addresses handicap accessibility.- more stringently than the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA1.

According to the 2000 Census, only 1 2 City residents were working in the farming, fishing, and forestry occupations. Therefore, their housing needs are not expected to impact the housing market. There are no specific areas in the City of Winter Springs targeted for the provision of housing for the very_low, low, and moderate-income households. Federal programs that offer rental subsidy, such as Section 8, allows the applicant to choose the location of the home. The City has a variety of zoning categories that allow for different types of housing and densities, including the provision of mobile homes. The Medium Density land use category of the Future Land Use Map allows mobile home zoning districts. Affordable housing does exist in the resale market. Most of these units are older single-family houses in good structural condition. A number of these older structures in the City could provide adequate housing for a number of low-income housing if improvements to these units are made. The improvements include minor rehabilitation of electrical and plumbing infrastructure, improved insulation, and re-roofing. Most of these improvements would not only add value to the structure, but also provide benefits to the resident in terms of energy cost savings, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fire safe .. _ < ~ ,- As noted in previous sections, the City n ,~ - ~,_ __ .._~_:._ti ___:~,_ ~i_,. ~t-;_.__,._ ~:..i.i. ~....._.~ .:...,has worked on specific projects to provide full-scale accessible housing for low-income residents. ~ _ , , ~ - , III - 39 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT - - _ .. < . _ _- All of the 52 units that were renovated in 2000 have :been sold. ~' - - r.,...~...~ _,_:,.~....._ ~~i=rri~,c-R-cicrc,_1~_ ~ 2 - ~ ~ .

Given the age of the housing stock the City does not expect a~major '' -~~~demolition or ~~i~traconversion activity in the next 10 years. The City of Winter Springs has an active and effective code enforcement system that has helped maintain a sound condition for the older housing stock. Nonetheless, units do fall into disrepair and neglect for many reasons, including lack of economic incentives for maintenance. For planning purposes, it is anticipated that two (2) percent of units 50 years old and older will become substandard each year. Five (5) percent of these substandard units may at that time be categorized as deteriorated. The City Building Division works in coordination with the Code Enforcement Division when deteriorated housing is identified. During 2008 an increased level of deterioration was reported by the City associated with recent foreclosure activity For conversions, the City requires compatibility and harmony to be maintained within established neighborhoods, which is regulated as part of the permit approval process. 3. Land Requirements and Availability for Projected Housing Needs Based on the figures provided by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a total of -x20,008 dwelling units will be needed to serve the household population of the City by the year ?~ 2030, an increase of more than 6,500 units over the 2007 estimate~€ ~ ~ ~ ,_ . - - '~ - ~,n ._,_._,... ~r......:.~,.._~:_i i._.,a ,,..,. -r._i_i_ rrr ??

The acreage of residential lands was converted to units, using density factors based on the densities permitted in each category, allowing for the provision of retention areas and rights-of-way. For Rural, Low and Medium density residential categories, thirty (30) percent of the land area was determined to be needed for retention and ROW, netting 0.7, 2.5 and 6.3 dwelling units per acre, respectively. High density residential was analyzed at 15 dwelling units per acre based on historical trends. For the Mixed Use; and Town Center~~~~ ~ - T..~- ~-,_'..,.,~, categories, it was estimated that III - 42 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT approximately fifty percent of the vacant acreage will develop with high density residential uses at densities of approximately 10 dwelling units per acre for the Mixed Use and ~~~~~;~20 dwelling units per acre for the Town Center land use category. (These density factors were previously utilized in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan.) City staff estimates that 200 residential units will be made available through a vertical mix of development in the Greeneway Interchange District. As the table shows, the City will be able to accommodate approximately 3,419+ additional units, - < -, - -,_' ~, _' approximately 3,000 units fewer than anticipated to be needed by ~`--'~ the year 2030 according to the Shimberg Center projections.. .. However, it should be noted that the Shimberg Center projections have already proved to be higher than actual~ke, and this trend has become even stronger in recent years. For example, the projected figure of housing units for the year 2000 by the Shimberg Center was 13,103, when the actual figure for that year as reported by the Census was 1 2,306 (Note: Summary File 3 sample data totals to 1 2,2961 z~_...-. r...-.. :~ .._ i_. ` .~. i._ ,.,...__...~ ~~_.,~ Using the City's projections, the shortfall in units is anticipated to be approximately 1,600 units. Thus, there may be the need to encourage densities closer to the maximum allowable within each residential category. It is anticipated that with such measures implemented, the Future Land Use Maps,, combined with potential future annexations, will provide for an adequate supply of land to satisfy the housing needs of the €tr~rrr-~2030 population of Winter Springs. 4. The Housing Delivery System While the City ~- an estimate future housing needs, it cannot take a major role in supplying housing. That aspect is controlled for the most part by the private sector. The City can only assist in the delivery of housing by developing flexible regulations, providing appropriate land use designations and zoning categories, and by planning infrastructure facilities and services that are adequate to serve future development. The private sector is currently meeting the needs of the community in terms of providing much of the needed housing. - -- -~ ~~ ~ ~; -, ~, - ~ - - ._ - -. The vacancy rate in Winter Springs was - - 4}.32% percent in 2000, -_ :._.-~:._..~,.` `'~~~`considered within the range where the housing supply is adequate. As discussed previously, data for 2006 from Metro Orlando and the American Communitx Survey indicate that the vacancy rate may have either increased or decreased. It is anticipated that more recent economic circumstances will have increased the vacancy rate, which may help absorb some of the projected need in housing units, or at least delay the rate of increase in that need. a. Financing Private sector housing delivery is divided into two parts, owned and rental. The delivery of financing for owned housing is based solely on affordability. As discussed earlier in this Element, affordable housing costs are calculated to be thirty (30) percent of gross income. Monthly payments for owned-housing is based III - 43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT on two factors: mortgage rates and the price of the housing unit. Forecasting future trends of these two factors is difficult and highly unpredictable.-, particularly at this point in time. Mortgage rates are dependent on ~T._~:,.._..i ~ _..._,.._.:,_ ~: ~~national economic conditions and not local factors. Housing prices are dependent on the inflation rate for housing, and local supply and demand forces. Financing for housing . , _- - ` _ _ , . _ ;presents challenges and opportunities based on recent economic trends. While interest rates have fallen, the availability of credit has become more restrictive and mortgage lending standards have been tightened. The City may need to consider requiring developers to provide a certain percentage of affordable units within their developments as a requirement for development approvals. An alternative to the requirement could also be a contribution to an affordable housing fund that can be used for housing rental assistance to lower income households. The City should also look into the programs offered through the County for capital improvements, rehabilitation or down payment rental assistance, including those discussed in the analysis section, and make those programs available to City residents. b. Regulatory and Administrative Process The process of housing development includes several players, including government officials in multiple jurisdictions, design consultants, lenders, contractors, attorneys and the buyer or renter. The process, which at times can be lengthy, ~:~trr=rrk~ ±~adds costs to the development of housing. Many ingredients of housing development such as interest rates, labor and material costs, and State Laws, are beyond the control of the City. Nonetheless, a community can adopt an attitude that will affect the cost of housing. By taking a proactive position, the City can start instituting several actions to address affordable housing. The first step would be to do a thorough review of the Code of Ordinances as it relates to housing affordability. Areas to address m~include: Establishing a definition of affordable housing Expediting the permitting process for affordable housing projects,, •Establishin~c. density bonuses for the provision of affordable units •Establishin~c certain zoning waivers such as parking, landscaping and setbackst and ~Modifyin~c, street right-of-way requirements_ Another important aspect of reducing the cost of providing affordable housing is reviewing current development costs charged by the City. The City should review processing and impact fees and establish reductions or waivers for affordable housing projects. III - 44 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT c. Infill Housing Development z._r„_~:~:,,,,,nr_ :.,~:>>Infill housing occurs in areas that ~ereare close to residential ~~build-out~~ with at least 90 percent of its residential land already developed. This traditional type of'~~~~" -- '-- ' ---'`'~infill involves a small number of vacant parcels that were bypassed during the normal course of urbanization. In this process, individual lots or small clusters of lots remained vacant due to rrrk~ variety of reasons. There are very few residential lots in this category within the City Large numbers of "passed over" parcels can often lead to lower market and assessed values for adjacent developed residential properties. It may often lower property values in entire neighborhoods where large numbers of vacant parcels exist. Most of the vacant lands in Winter Springs are located within recently platted subdivisions or in large tracts on the east side of the City. However, there are still a few vacant lots within the older part of the City. It is important for Winter Springs to develop strategies and programs which encourage the infill of these vacant residential parcels with new housing compatible with the established neighborhoods. d. Mobile Homes Mobile homes and mobile home developments have long had a reputation of being visually unattractive. Often, localities have had the tendency to regulate these housing types to undesirable areas of the community, such as adjacent to industrial areas and railroad tracks and areas which lack utilities or community facilities. Mobile homes were rarely allowed or encouraged in areas well suited for residential development. However, as the cost of single-family dwellings has gone beyond the reach of many households, communities have started to change their local decision making process regarding the location of mobile homes. Rule 9J-5 requires that policies be developed which ensure adequate sites for mobile homes. These requirements will also alter local governments traditional decision- making process regarding mobile homes. In consideration of these factors the following general criteria have been provided for the designation of future mobile home or manufactured home developments. • Mobile home parks and co-ops should be located adjacent to areas with a comparable density of development or near small-scale convenience or neighborhood commercial activity. • They should be in areas accessible to arterial and collector roads; • They should also be located on sites presently served by public water or sanitary sewer service, or in areas programmed for such service in the City~s five-year capital improvements program; III - 45 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT • They should be located within reasonable proximity to community facilities. Where mobile home development or individual mobile homes are designated to be located adjacent to residential uses, especially those of lower densities, buffer areas should be required to make the transition in density more compatible to the general neighborhood and community. In addition to these general provisions, the issue of improving existing substandard mobile home development should be addressed. These areas should be upgraded to modern mobile home planning and design requirements. e. Infrastructure Requirements The infrastructure needed to support housing for very-low, low and moderate- income households is similar to that required to support other development activity. The adequacy of this infrastructure is evaluated in various elements and summarized in the Future Land Use Element. Generally speaking, improvements to the road system, the water and sewer systems, and the drainage system will be necessary to support future land development activities, including low and moderate income housing. The City has several programs that are being planned or are underway to make these improvements. One consideration is the cost and methods for funding these improvements. New development is required to make dedications of land and site related improvements and to contribute to the larger system capacity increases.- to meet concurrency. The City also requires payment of impact fees to cover the cost of needed improvements. Once the property is developed and sold, the new landowners are required to pay periodic assessments to fund operations and capital improvements. In the case of low and moderate-income projects, funds for development and operation are usually limited. The result is that extra fees can be expected to be a problem, occasionally enough to destroy the financial feasibility of the project. Under the theory that these are fees for services or benefits received, these fees and charges cannot be reduced for low and moderate-income projects. On the other hand, provision of adequate housing for low and moderate-income persons and households is a benefit to the public at large. f. Sustainability, Energv Efficiency, 8~ Renewable Energv Resources There has been increasing information and focus on environmental impacts and issues such as climate change, in addition to awareness of the potential cost- savings from energy efficient construction and sustainable development practices. New construction and major rehabilitation and renovations in the City should include plans for greater energy efficiency in their design and construction. Furthermore the use of recycled materials and renewable energy resources should be encouraged. As these practices can cut long-term energy costs, they are encouraged for all types of housinc1 The US Green Building Council (USGBCI administers the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.

SANITARY SEWER SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City currently owns, operates and maintains a central sanitary sewer system. The City's collection and treatment system provides service to both residential and non- residential users. _The City has historically been able to provide adequate sanitary sewer service to meet the demand within the City's boundaries. Currently, the City's wastewater facilities have little or no effect on adjacent natural resources. This is due to the "zero discharge" approach that is currently being achieved by the City's wastewater program. Impacts on natural resources must be considered for the overall effects of improvements achieved by not only the City_ ~ ;, but also for the sum of improvements achieved by all treatment facilities in areas formerly tributary to the Lal<e Jesup drainage basin. This information is being gathered on a continuing basis by staffs of the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and results to date have shown significant positive results in regard to reduction of contribution of nutrients to surface waters. B. SANITARY SEWER L~iTP~Gz~A~B=rI$"TC~~=FACILITIES INVENTORY Public Sanitary Sewer Facilities Inventory The City's central sanitary sewer system is comprised of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), X41 lift stations, ??A(15.854 linear feet of 20" forcemain, J-81,489 linear feet of forcemain ranging in size from 6 to 12 inches, and ~-~{-r1 1 1.51 miles of gravity sewer mains of various sizes. Additionally, the City operates a reclaimed water system to reduce the amount of potable water utilized for irrigation purposes. The reclaimed water system consists of two treatment facilities and several miles of distribution lines. ~~Reclaimed treatment facilities are located at both of the City's two wastewater treatment plants. a.

The West WWTP serves all development in the western section of the City including Winding Hollow, Tusl<eawilla Trace, Central Winds Park, St. Johns Landing and the Winter Springs High School. There are three properties outside the City limits that are served by the City's wastewater utility. These properties, all within the City of Oviedo, include the medical center at S.R. 426 and Winter Springs Boulevard, the Tuscawilla Bend Shopping Center and the Seneca Bend Subdivision. _The City provides service to these properties as required by an old '~--~--.~~PUD agreement. There are no County enclaves that are served by the City's wastewater system. As of ?.~y~2008, the City is providing service to 11,1-537 residential connections and ~a-?286 non-residential connections, for a total of 11,823 sanitary sewer connections. Of the residential connections, 22 are services outside of the City limits. Of the non-residential connections, 24 are services located outside of the City limits.

(4) Public Effluent Disposal Both the east and west treatment plants meet the Florida "no discharge" requirements as defined in FDEP 62-610.200(41 ). -The City's land application system consists of a combined (4) four restricted access rapid rate filtration basins, a total of 62.8 acres, and (2) two slow rate restricted access spray irrigation sites, a total of 77 acres. The remainder of the system consists of public access slow rate application sites. These sites consist of two golf courses, five City parks, three roadway median irrigation systems, two school sites and residential commercial irrigation. The City maintains a reduced groundwater-monitoring program. -This program requires four 4~ monitoring wells at the Dayron Perk Ponds and one monitoring well at the Winter Springs Golf Course for the west treatment system. -The east treatment system maintains four monitoring wells on the Tuscawilla Golf Course and four monitoring wells at the East Perk Ponds. (5) Reclaimed Water System The reuse irrigation method of reclaimed wastewater disposal is presently encouraged by the FDEP. The broad category of reuse of reclaimed wastewater may include such uses as agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, make up water for electrical power generation facilities, industrial cooling water make up and other industrial uses. Because of existing conditions in the Winter Springs area, the City has embraced the concept of reuse, in association with existing land application methods, as the best method to provide for future effluent disposal capacity. The benefits of a reuse program include: 1) Cost efficiencies for wastewater customers. 2) More efficient use of land area for development activity rather than dedicated public land application methods. 3) Promotion of reuse water for irrigation purposes rather than use of potable water for irrigation. IV - 26 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 4) Support of estate and ~-regional goals and policies directed toward water conservation, surface water quality protection, and efficient use of land resources. The City has constructed and is currently operating a reclaimed water program. The City's current reuse service area boundary is indicated in Map IV-~B-2.- As of December 2008, there are 1 ,644 residential and non-residential connections to the reclaimed water system. Users of reclaimed water are required to have in-ground sprinklers systems and hose bibs are prohibited. Recently, meters were installed on all reclaimed water lines, so that the City is now better equipped to track reclaim water usage. The current average daily usage of the reclaimed water program is 1.~-334 MGD. The proposed total design capacity of the system is currently 4.082 MGD. 2. Private Sanitary Sewer Facilities Design a. Septic Tank Suitabilitx The majority of City households, approximately 90%,, are served by the central wastewater system. _In addition, all commercial and industrial land uses within the City limits are served by the City's wastewater system with the exception of the Old Sanford-Oviedo area. New development is required to connect to the central wastewater system where available.- However, in the past several single-family developments have been permitted for septic systems. The total number of single-family homes located within the City limits utilizing septic systems for wastewater disposal is not known. However, this number represents only a small percentage of the total. In general, septic systems are not the most efficient means of wastewater disposal for urban development. Limitations of existing soils, intensive maintenance requirements, soil reclamation and~or special designs limit the effectiveness of septic systems as a means of septic service in the Winter Springs area.

SANITARY SEWER FACILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS Sanitary Sewer Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies a. Existing Demand Surpluses and Deficiencies Demand and ' -- ' ~ : ~---~ ~ LOS can be determined by an analysis of plant flows, billed water, number of customers, and population served. The City's adopted treatment'~~--~' -~~ ;,...__:._.. !LOS} is 1 00 gallons per person per day~er--r~tt-~. To date, the City has not identified any ' -- ' ~ :~ ' ~ LOS related existing deficiencies within the sanitary sewer collection and treatment system. The Capital Improvements Program identifies various projects scheduled to be completed within the next five years. Many of these projects represent improvements to provide for facility upgrades or existing maintenance requirements. b. Future Demand Capacity The City's concurrency management requires an assessment of available capacity at the time of development approval. Based upon an assessment of approved projects, which will impact the system in the future, the City's has estimated that the average daily demand by the year ?N(~?201 0 will be ~r1-2.215 MGD. Therefore, the available sewer capacity for new project impacts is approximately ?:%F1 .867 MGD. There is no service area outside the City limits, with the exceptions of the few properties located within the City of Oviedo. The City does not plan to provide service outside the City limits in the near future. -.. ~. ~ . ~ .

Average annual daily flows ranged from 2.2 to 2.3 MGD between 2003 and 2006, while flows ranged from 2.0 to 2.2 MGD in 2007 and 2008. The two treatment plants mil-should have sufficient wastewater treatment capacity to meet demands for the long term planning horizon: through approximately 2030. Based on projected population estimates developed for the Comprehensive Plan, the City will be providing wastewater treatment capacity of 117.5 GPCD in 2010 and 104.5 GPCD in 2020, dropping just below the adopted LOS to 99.4 GPCD of wastewater treatment capacity in 2025 and to 94.6 GPCD in 2030 without implementing anx capacity expansions. IV - 30 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 2. Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities The City's central sanitary sewer system is generally in good condition and adequately meeting the demand of its users. a. Wastewater Treatment Plants The East WWTP was -rehabilitated in 1996. The West WWTP was ~rrrrr~~ upgraded in 1996 as well. As both plants are Class 1 reliability facilities, there is no foreseeable need to replace either facility during the ?~N~-short term planning horizon. b. Collection System Performance A gravity system defines the boundaries of the existing wastewater service area. As with other systems, the type of construction materials used is representative of the age of the system. The existing gravity collection system for the older areas of the City is constructed using primarily clay pipe. Newer developments in the service area are served primarily by PVC pipe. The age and condition of the existing clay system is assumed to contribute a large percentage of the inflow infiltration (I~I) currently discharging into the gravity system. During periods of heavy rainfall and high groundwater tables, the amount of I~I into the system can be significant. The City has committed to reducing I~I through a systematic I~I reduction program and the purchase of specialized equipment for repairing the lines in the system. The City has an on-going infiltration inflow (I~I) program to assess I~I in the City's collection system. Most minor repairs are made by either applying grout internally, or by means of a pipe relining approach. More major repairs are accomplished by the City's "point repair" procedures, whereby short sections of collection line are replaced on an as needed basis. In extreme cases, of older, badly deteriorated gravity lines, it is sometimes more cost effective to replace much longer sections of sewer pipe, and in these cases priorities for available funding are established and funds budgeted on an as needed basis. Given the topography of the Winter Springs area, the gravity system within each LSSA is assumed to be lateral in nature and adequate for service, except for routine repair and replacement, throughout the planning horizon. Lift stations are depreciated on a forty (40) year schedule. 3. Sanitary Sewer Facility Replacement, Expansion and New Facility Siting To meet future demand, a list of major capital improvements is presented and prioritized in the Schedule of Capital Improvements ~e~L~ for sanitary sewer facilities. The majority of these improvements are necessary to eliminate existing deficiencies, provide main line extensions to new wastewater customers, or to implement expansion of the reclaimed water system. During the next five years, the City will need to evaluate the potential remaining life of the water treatment plants to determine the time frame for replacement. IV-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IV-~C. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT A_INTRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City ~ - ~, currently owns, operates and maintains a central potable water treatment and distribution system within its corporate limits. The City's potable water system provides water for both residential and non-residential purposes, including fire-fighting demands. A Water and Wastewater Rate Study for the City was ~~adopted in ?H(~1-June 2002 to ~- ~ ~ sets service availability fees and user fees for potable water and sanitary sewer customers. A new rate structure study is currently in review and will be adopted in 2009. In 2007, the City completed _ - _ - ~: its Water Supply Plan 2007 (Supply Plan). The Supply Plan was part of legislation adopted in 2005 for the purpose of strengthening coordination of water supply planning and local land use planning. The legislation required extensive evaluation of water supply facilities for at least a ten-year planning period. The Supply Plan's evaluation period projects an eighteen-year planning period. By extending the planning period to 2025, the Supply Plan is better able to assess future needs and utilizes compatible planning increments with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)'s District Water Supply Plan 2005-. The City is located in an area that the SJRWMD identifies as a priority water resource caution area in the District Water Supply Plan 2005. A priority water resource caution area is an area where existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water may not be adequate to supply water for all existing legal uses and anticipated future needs while sustaining water resources and related natural systems through 2025. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop a county-wide water supply plan (County Plan). -.The County Plan ---~"---'"~-~a~identifies projects that are suitable to be included in a future update or addendum to the District Water Supply Plan 2005. Data and analysis within the City's Supply Plan trn'~~~<~~~~ `'~~~`, '~; ~~~~' ~~~~as well as future population projections, and analysis of the existing supply and treatment facilities associated with the continuation of the residential reclaimed water system program and conservation programs, indicate that the City will not need additional groundwater or other potable water sources to meet demands through ?H?32030. B. D1~~POTABLE WATER FACILITIES INVENTORY ~1. Operational Responsibility The ~ :City's Public Works~Utility Department is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the central public water system within the City's service area. ~2. Service Area The City has historically provided potable water service to meet demands within the City's boundaries, with the exception of a few parcels at the City's perimeter. These are served IV - 32 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT by the City of Longwood, the City of Casselberry, or by Seminole County Environmental Services (SCES) and represent an insignificant portion of each utility's service capability. Seminole County Environmental Services S( CESLsupplies potable water to Tuscawilla Unit 2: and to parcel 14 at the Oviedo Marketplace. The City area served by Seminole County currently includes approximately 65 single-family homes (22,750 GPDj~-t~ and one office building (4,500 GPD1. Additionally, as the remainder of parcel 14 develops, the SCES will supply an additional capacity of 33,500 GPD on a wholesale basis to the City. These areas are very small in comparison with the overall SCES capacity and can be adequately served by SCES. According to information available from the Seminole County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the current groundwater supply and treatment facilities are sufficient to meet the demands through the 2025 projections. In general, the amount of water sold to - ,City residents or wholesaled to the City is a small fraction of the County's overall water demand. The City of Casselberry serves approximately seven (7) commercial warehouse customers on Belle Avenue that are located within the City. These are direct customers of the City of Casselberry and are not part of a wholesale or interlocal agreement. These customers are adequately served and represent a small fraction of the Casselberry service capability. Winter Springs entered into an interlocal agreement in 2006 with the City of Longwood to serve certain identified properties along US 17-92. Currently, Longwood services only a few customers that are located within the City. Additionally, individual wells self-serve approximately 325 single family homes within the City limits. There are no plans to extend water service lines into these areas at this time. Generally, the City does not service areas outside of the City limits. The ones=rr situ served outside of the City ~r-ris because no other service was available. Once in a while, the City will enter into an annexation agreement to service a property that seeks to be annexed and wishes to receive City services, but is not yet contiguous to the City. In 2001, two sites were being served outside the City. However, one of these properties has since been annexed. As of April 2007, the City is servicing approximately 1 2,x}409 service connections. The predominant users serviced by the central system are residential customers within the City limits. The central water system service area is identified on Map IV-€~C-1: Service Area. No service area growth is anticipated.

Water Treatment Plants INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City's central system consists of two (2) water service areas with three (3) water treatment plants which are interconnected and which operate as one (1) system. Each of the service areas are supplied by four wells. Table IV-1~C - 2: Water Treatment Plants Water Treatment Plant Location WTP #1 851 Northern Way (east) WTP #2 700 Sheoah Blvd. (west) WTP #3 1 1 0 West Bahama Ave. (west) Source: Winter Springs Utility Department, City of Winter Springs Water Supply Plan 2007. WTP #1 is located at 851 Northern Way in the Tus~cawilla residential planned unit development. The plant has four (4) wells (5200 GPM); two (2) storage tanks [a 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (aerator capability 3800 GPM) and a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank (aerator capability 3500 GPM)]; and three (3) high service pumps (7950 GPM). There is sufficient area for further expansion of ground storage capacity and high service pumping. WTP #2 is located at 700 Sheoah Boulevard in the Highlands residential planned unit development. The plant has some minor room for further expansion. The plant includes two (2) wells (2200 GPM) [one onsite and one offsite]; one 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (3800 GPM of aerator capacity); and three high service pumps (4350 GPM). WTP #3 is located at 1 10 West Bahama Road. The plant consists of two (2) wells (3500 GPM); one 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (aeration 3800 GPM); and three (3) high service pumps (3100 GPM). All of the City's central system treatment facilities utilize the same basic process for water treatment. First, raw groundwater is pumped from the aquifer through a cascade aerator atop the ground storage tank for hydrogen sulfide removal. Second, the water is chlorinated disinfected with either sodium hypochlorite (a concentrated bleach) or chlorine gas and pumped into the distribution system with high service pumping units. A phosphate inhibitor is added to the raw water and provides a "passive" coating on the interior of pipes, thereby reducing the corrosion effect and leaching of metallic constituents (lead and copper). Each of these treatment facilities consists of several distinct parts, which together comprise a complete plant system, including: wells, treatment, storage, and high service pumping. ~4. Water Quality The City's raw water quality meets the maximum contaminant levels for all currently regulated inorganic and organic contaminants and is of good quality with the exception of high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, sulfate and chlorides, at specific wells. There is no evidence of coli_form bacteria. Raw water quality is described in detail in the Supply Plan. The finished water quality produced by the central system meets all State and IV - 36 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Federal regulations related to the production of safe drinking water. However, it is likely that new regulations by the , _ _ _ FDEP} will require removal of ~~sulfur concentrations over 0.3 mg~l as wells are altered or new wells are constructed. 5. Distribution System The interconnected distribution system consists of water mains up to 1 6 inches in diameter. The mains consist of various materials including: asbestos cement, ductile iron, polyvinyl chloride, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and cast iron, depending upon location and~or design circumstances. The distribution system is illustrated on Map IV-€~C-2: Water Line Distribution System. Fb. Public Wells The City's central potable water distribution system is connected to eight (8) potable water wells. Drawdowns in the surficial aquifer are estimated to be very low.

Consumptive Use Permit Withdrawal of water from the Floridan ~tr-aquifer is regulated by the SJRWMD, by the issuance of a Consumptive Use Permit (CUP). The City's CUP#8238 ~~was issued by the SJRWMD in October 1996 and expired on October 8, 2006. The City filed an application for CUP renewal prior to the expiration date and the application is under review. The City continues to operate off of the expired permit until a new one is issued. At the time of renewal the City, if eligible, can opt fora 20-near permit. Since the City's adoption of the water restriction ordinance on February 26, 2001, the annual water usage has consistently been lower than the withdrawal allocation allowed by the CUP. Prior to the adoption of the ordinance, the annual usage exceeded the permitted capacitx three out of the five years following the issuance of the 1996 CUP. For authorized average and maximum daily withdrawals under the CUP, see Table IV-~3--ANC - 8: Projected Demand, Facility Capacity, and Permit Conditions.

Wastewater is collected, treated, and redistributed for irrigation purposes. In ?l-){+%2008, the reclaimed water system had ~=I?~E~1 ,644 residential connections utilizing a flow of approximately 1.334 MGD, average daily flow. The reclaimed water has also been utilized at done golf ~~?course (Tuscawilla Golf Course - ) a public park, and other urban landscape areas. The system has reduced demands on the City's potable water system. New development which abuts existing or planned routes of the City's reclaimed water distribution system is required to connect to the City's reclaimed water system. New development is also encouraged to utilize storm water or surface waters for irrigation use, wherever feasible. The system is currently constrained by the availability of wastewater in proportion to the demand for irrigation water. Current irrigation demand exceeds the amount of wastewater generated by a single family home by as much as four (4) times. Use of secondary sources of water to supplement the system (such as Lake Jesup), will allow expansion of the City's reclaimed water system. D. CONSERVATION PROGRAMS The City has implemented numerous conservation programs: Water Restrictions. The City follows the watering restrictions recommended by the SJRWMD, which prohibit watering between the hours of 1 0 AM and 4 PM and more than twice a week. An ordinance implemented in 2001 addresses water shortage conditions and watering restrictions that can be imposed by the City. This restriction applies to all water uses including potable, reclaimed water use, surface water and shallow wells. SJRWMD has new watering restrictions effective be , iq nning March 8, 2009. The City is in the process of drafting an ordinance which supports these regulations, along with restricting use of alternative water for irrigation to a similar schedule. Conservation Rate Structure. Since 1 998, the City has used a 5-tier water conservation promoting rate structure for the pricing of potable water use. The City also uses a 3-tier rate structure for reclaimed water use. A rate structure study will be completed in 2009 which will adjust water rates for potable, alternative and reclaimed water to support a reduction in potable water use and the implementation of the Lake Jesup Water Augmentation Project. The previous rate structure was adopted in June 2002. Reclaimed Water Program. The City's reclaimed water program and the water conservation benefits of the program are promoted through literature distributed to water customers. New developments are required to construct a reclaimed or other non-potable water distribution system. Additional water conservation practices that have been implemented include: Conducting an informal leak detection program; Use of billing software to reduce discrepancies in reported gallons billed versus gallons pumped; Requiring compliance with the Florida Building Code standards for low volume fixtures in all new development; Promotion of water efficient landscape and irrigation (XeriscapeT^^) practices through regulations and education; Providing IV - 42 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT sites which showcase examples of Waterwise (XeriscapeT^^] practices; Using native vegetation on public lands as feasible; Providing retrofit kits and making water conservation literature available; and Providing public tours of facilities. E. WATER SUPPLY CONCURRENCY In order to ensure that water is available at time of development, a concurrency management procedure has been implemented. This procedure includes the participation of a representative from the City's Utility Department as a participant during development review. This representative addresses availability of potable and reclaimed water to new development, thus ensuring that the approval of development orders are coordinated with the availability of a water supply. The demand per ep rson:~ for potable water is calculated by taking the volume of water treated and pumped and dividing it by the City's population. The City's consumption rate went from a high of 145 gallons per ep rsonra~t~t per day (GPCD) (1998) to a low of 104 GPCD (2003). Demand can fluctuate considerably depending upon the weather patterns of a given year. An extremely dry year in 2006 increased demand to 135 GPCD: though flows dropped back down in 2007 and 2008. This represents the volatility of irrigation demands on the water supply. Expanding the City's Reclaimed Water and Conservation Programs will ensure that the potable water demand is reduced regardless of weather patterns. The City projects that the per -person potable water consumption will continue to decrease from historic patterns, given the expansion of the reclaimed water system, conservation programs, and development of infill properties with denser housing configurations, such as townhouses, apartments and condominiums, rather than large lot single family homes. The City's level of service (LOS) for the potable water supply is a minimum of 1 15 gallons per rrperson per day (GPCD). F. PROJECTED WATER NEEDS AND SOURCES ~rl. Population Population growth is expected to increase by 1.2'„3 percent per year - ~- `', "' ;- ~~~- ~through 2?~2030. This projection adds~r.~10.148 people to the City: from the 2008 population. Population and corresponding water demand rates are the most important factors in determining the need for additional supply and treatment facilities. Historical rates of water usage were analyzed to better understand demand factors. i-r.2. Potable Water Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies As of ?H(~%2008, the City of Winter Springs's central system is providing ~--E7.91 3 MGD maximum daily flow. Treatment plants are rated by their ability to serve based on the limiting component. ~..~-~~Although the limiting component was previously the storage capacity, the current limiting component is the -allowable consumptive use. The storage system has a maximum capacity of 10.1 MGD (maximum daily flow criterion`,,. -G.~.,.-,.c,.-,,, ~'_~_~-_ ~;1, resulting in an estimated 0.70 million gallons per day of surplus capacity.-, which is adequate to meet the City's allowable consumptive use. The existing system is able to serve all of the existing residential and non-residential units IV - 43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT that are currently connected to private wells. ~krTherefore, the City does not have any capacity deficiencies within the central system. ~3. Future Demand Capacity The ability of the City's system to meet the consumptive demand is controlled by the maximum permitted pumping capacity as limited by the City's Consumptive Use permit from the St. John's River Water Management District. SJRWMD has indicated that the permitted supply of groundwater will be frozen at the 2013 level district-wide for subsequent years, based on what the Floridan ~r-aquifer can support for the region, However, it is likely, based on City staff's current CUP negotiations with SJRWMD, that the SJRWMD will authorize the City's CUP at a rate of 5.1 MGD, a rate similar to the City's authorized withdrawal rate for 2005. Future water demand was forecast based on City population projections through ?2030. The City has the capacity to service the City's potable water demands through the projected planning period, while considering the ?likely CUP limitations: ~kr, given the expanded use of reclaimed and alternative water ~~~~-~~~ ~- .-,,,a..,~ ;to reduce this demand and enables the City to meet its LOS.

Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities The water quality from the Floridan ~tr-aguifer is sufficiently good and only requires aeration and chlorination treatment to provide potable water. Each of the City's three water treatment plants has consistently operated in compliance with all criteria established by the FDEP and the Florida Department of Health with respect to public water supplies. All three of the City's water treatment plants (WTP #1, WTP #2 & WTP #3) were constructed in 1972. Each plant continues to be maintained in good operating condition. Repairs and~or upgrades to each plant are performed as required on an individual basis. Each plant should have a minimum remaining useful life of at least 40 years. The following table summarizes the City's historical and projected water consumption data based on plant flow records from January 2001 to December ?k141{~2008 and shows the SJRWMD's CUP data in comparison to demand. Conservation efforts and an expanded reclaimed water system have led to a general decrease in per capita demand, with the exception of 2006 which was a particularly dry year.

IV - 48 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT G. FUTURE WATER SOURCES Limitations on the Floridan ~rtaquifer as a resource require the City to consider alternative water sources. The 2006 Addendum to the SJRWMD's District Water Supply Plan 2005 included alternative water source options for local jurisdictions to consider. Winter Springs is currently in the planning stages of the Winter Springs -Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation Project. This project ~ ~ is projected to produce 2.25 MGD. Winter Springs has requested cost-share funding under the Water Protection and Sustainability Program and has been granted $~?2_4 million over a three year period _' _ The City's portion of the total construction cost is anticipated at $6.1-FFr7 million. Winter Springs has purchased a site for the plant on the south shore of Lake Jesup and in 2006, applied for a CUP (#105763) for the withdrawal of surface water from the Lake to supplement its reclaimed water supply. The CUP application ~~ ~~~ ~ ~- ~-.__:,,__~was approved by the SJRWMD: in 2007 for 2.25 MGD. The project consists of construction of filtration treatment, two 1.0 MGD ground storage tanks, pumping facilities and high level disinfectant facilities. The facility will be constructed with expansion capacity to provide treated surface water to neighboring entities not in the ~- - ~:•'City's service area, through interconnects based on interlocal agreements. Completion of the ~~initial plant is slated for 2010. .The City is continuing to expand its reclaimed water distribution system. It anticipates supplying approximately 20% of its residents with reclaimed water for landscape irrigation by 2013 and expanding to every single family detached home which is connected to City sanitary sewer service by 2025. Projections for the use of reclaimed water indicate that public reception is above average and that it is a viable source of irrigation water for the City. Reclaimed water reduces demand for potable water and will allow the City to use potable water for new development which is its highest and best use. As reclaimed water becomes available, potable water for irrigation use will be prohibited. ~H. FUTURE CONSERVATION PROGRAMS Conservation Programs can impact public perception and support of good stewardship of water resources. These efforts, however, are not able to be quantified in terms of MGD reductions on a spreadsheet. If they were, they would appear to have only an insignificant impact. Their greater impact is a greater community awareness of the identity of the place in which they reside and how to better sustain it. The following summarizes key areas where the City can make improvements: Land Development Regulations. The City's Land Development Regulations will be revised to reflect best practices in water efficient landscaping and the use of native plant materials. Water Conservation Education. The City's website will be expanded to include information on water conservation. Water conservation materials will be displayed at City Hall. The City will continue to implement examples of water efficient landscapes (XeriscapesT^^) as models for the public. The City will consider initiating an award program recognizing best practices in water efficient landscaping within Winter Springs and consider supporting City Staff training and involvement in school programs such as "Drop Savers" and "Project WET". Retrofits. The City will continue its meter replacement program to retrofit meters with unaccounted water loss and consider incentives for retrofitting old plumbing fixtures with low volume fixtures.

INTRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The collection and disposal of solid waste is necessary for the protection of public health, safety and welfare. In 1976, the federal government passed the Resource and Recovery Act, which empowered the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate hazardous waste and develop minimum standards for land filling solid waste. _In 1980, Congress passed additional legislation, which empowered the EPA to directly respond to chemical spills or the release of hazardous substances. Also in 1980, the State of Florida passed the Florida Resource Recovery and Management Act. This Act established hazardous waste definitions, established a permitting system, required monitoring, and provided funds for clean up efforts. _In 1988, the Florida Solid Waste Management Act was established. _The Act required recycling programs and a reduction of the solid waste stream, as well as banning disposal of specified items in landfills. - _ - ,. Seminole County operates two solid waste facilities - ~~~~~~~~-- T <~~ ~`~~~ ~~t} Osceola Road Solid Waste Management Facility (OLF) and the Central Transfer Station (CTS).

Solid Waste Facility Design and Capacity The ~~~--~~- r <~~~'`~"OLF property extends over 6,000 acres. It is a Class I landfill with a natural clay liner. Phase I of the landfill is capped at 1 31 feet high. Phase II is the active landfill and is currently 73 feet high. Phase III will tie Phases I & II together and be 270 feet high. Gas Recovery and Leachate Removal Systems are installed on the site. The COLS is classified by the State Department of Environmental Regulation (DEP) as a "Class I" landfill. A "Class I" landfill accepts municipal solid wastes, including garbage, refuse, and dried sludge. Construction and demolition (C&D) debris and white goods are not accepted at the ~,._~.-.~' -r.-.,.,.r. ~- ",~`' ~~CTS, and such material is required to be separated out and disposed at the'_`; ~ ~'~~ T <~~~'~~"OLF, located in Geneva, Florida. The tl-GOLF consists of an administrative office, truck maintenance facility, white goods recycling area, tire processing facility, yard waste processing facility, as well as recycling and household hazardous waste drop off facilities. These facilities were created as a result of landfill bans on white goods, tires and yard waste. In addition to the OLF, Seminole County operates the CTS. The location of landfill sites and other solid waste facilities in Seminole County is presented on Map IV-FD-1. Eighty percent of all the solid waste generated in the County is delivered to the CTS. -The other 20% is delivered directly to the OLF. The CTS is a three-story building consisting of administrative offices, the solid waste tipping floor, transfer trailer tunnel, the Small Material Recovery Facility, and the Rec,~ cling and Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off Facilities.

Environmental Compliance, Assistance and Pollution Prevention Program The Environmental Compliance, Assistance and Pollution Prevention Program (ECAP3) is part of the Seminole County Environmental Services Department, Solid Waste Management Division (SWMD). The ECAP3 Team consists of the Environmental Programs Manager, a Compliance Coordinator, two Environmental Program Coordinators and a Household Hazardous Waste Technician. The goal of the program is to protect the citizens, employees, environment and County Landfill from exposure or contamination due to improper management and disposal of hazardous waste or other regulated waste. The program is supported by the Seminole County Solid Waste Management Division through normal tipping fees. The only costs passed on to customers are those for disposal of hazardous waste and E-scrap generated by businesses. The ECAP3 Team typically deals with hazardous and other regulated chemical types of wastes. Programs do not normallx include hazardous materials that are considered a product, biomedical waste or domestic waste. The ECAP3 provides the following~rograms: a. Small Quantity Generator Compliance Assistance Program The Small Quantity Generator (SQG) Compliance Assistance Program conducts compliance assistance visits (CAVs1 at businesses and government facilities that potentially generate hazardous waste or other regulated wastes. The CAV: • Determines how the facility manages and disposes of regulated waste; • Determines if there are illicit discharges as stipulated in the County's NPDES ermit• • Advises facility operators of changes that are needed to ensure compliance with regulated waste rules; • Offers suggestions for pollution prevention that can save the facility money; Examples of facilities visited: Vehicle Repair Shops Paint & Body Shops Dry Cleaners Furniture Finishers Pest Control Companies Photo Processing Medical Practices Manufacturing, Processing Laboratories Printers Parks Maintenance Municipal Maintenance Shops • Investigates citizen complaints related to environmental issues involving, either businesses or private households. • Responds to major spills and releases to ensure they are cleaned up and remediated properly. These are typically incidents that go beyond the scope of Fire and Rescue's Special Hazards and Operations Team (SHOT) and require that the responsible party hires an environmental contractor to complete the cleanup IV - 58 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT b. Household Hazardous Waste Programs The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Programs offers private households a means to properly dispose of their hazardous wastes at no cost. A permanent HHW Collection Center is operated at the CTS from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Saturday. The wastes are sorted and stored until picked up by the hazardous waste contractor. Household Hazardous Waste includes: Paint Solvents Pesticides Pool Chemicals Rechargeable Batteries Lead-Acid (Automotive) Batteries Used Oil & Filters Other Automotive Fluids Mercury containing devices such as mercury thermometers or thermostats. fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps • The E-scrap Program provides citizens with a means to recycle end-of-life electronics at no cost. It is located at the CTS with the same hours as the HHW Center. -The items are sorted and stored until picked up by the E- scrap recycling contractor. The major environmental concern with E-scrap is lead and other heavy metals. E-scrap includes: Televisions DVD Players & Video Recorders Computers, Laptops Monitors Printers Copiers, Copiers/Fax Machines • The Sharps Pro rc~ am provides citizens that take medication by injection at home a safe and convenient means to properly dispose of used needles, lancets, etc. at no cost. Citizens can pickup and return sharps containers at a number of locations throughout the County, including all Fire Stations. • Waste Tire Amnesty Days provide non-business residents an opportunity to dispose of up to 10 old tires for free. Four Tire Amnesty events are held each year. (Private citizens and businesses can dispose of waste tires at any time for a charge.) • Special collection events for businesses. government entities and non-profit organizations to dispose of E-scrap and hazardous waste are held throughout the year. The customers are responsible to pay all costs directly to the contractor. (FDEP regulations require that facilities meet the criteria of a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator in order to transport their own hazardous waste and participate in such collection events for hazardous waste. These regulations do not apply to transporting E-scrap.) c. Environmental Compliance and Training Environmental Compliance and Training includes the following services: • Ensures the SWMD facilities meet the rules and regulations of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), USEPA, other regulatory agencies and all related permits. IV - 59 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT • Oversees and coordinates the SWMD Special Waste Program (SWP). The purpose of the SWP is to determine, on a case by case basis, if wastes that are not normal municipal solid waste will be accepted at SWMD facilities. Examples of special wastes include: manufacturing-processing wastes, sludges and contaminated soil. • Assists other county and city agencies with waste determinations, disposal of hazardous waste and other environmental compliance matters. • Coordinates the Seminole County Environmental Task Force. The Task Force meets every other month and consists of representatives from ECAP3, Stormwater, Mosquito Control, Planning & Development, Tanks-Petroleum Cleanup, Fire Department, Sheriff's Office, Code Enforcement, FDEP, Bureau of Emergency Response, FDEP Criminal Investigation and cities within the county. The purpose of the Task Force is to discuss and coordinate on-going and/or difficult environmental cases, share information and minimize duplication of effort. • Provides Environmental Awareness and Compliance Training for County employees. Typically 300 to 400 employees are trained per year. • Provides environmental training to governmental entities and local businesses through participation in the Metropolitan Environmental Training, Alliance (METRA~ • Conducts public outreach and training to schools, citizen groups, other municipalities within the county, etc. • Provides support as stipulated through the NPDES permit held by the County and seven cities. This support includes: ^ Inspecting for illicit discharges conducted during CAVs. ^ Investigating citizen complaints that may affect Stormwater. ^ Responding to spills and other emergency events that may affect Stormwater or have other environmental impact. ^ Protection of the environment as provided through the HHW programs. ^ Training -Most of the training includes Stormwater topics.

IV-66 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IV-~E. DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City of Winter Springs is committed to maintaining the quality of its surface waters. The purpose of this element is to provide analysis of the available data regarding the surpluses and deficiencies of the existing drainage infrastructure serving Winter Springs' residents so the City can adequately plan for the requirements of the projected population and future land use needs. The following analysis will lay the foundation for goals, objectives, and policies, which will ensure that drainage and stormwater management needs are met throughout the planning timeframe. To adequately regulate stormwater, it is necessary to manage both the quality and the quantity of rainfall and runoff. In addition to abatement, it is necessary for drainage facilities to serve other important functions such as water quality management and aquifer recharge. Management of stormwater is important in maintaining the water quality of the City's lakes, creeks, and wetlands. stormwater can carry a number of pollutants and is responsible for over half the pollution load entering Florida's waters. Currently, stormwater runoff is an issue of local concern for the City - - - ~; ._ The incursion of development involves the placement of streets, sidewalks, buildings, and parking lots over soils and native vegetation. As a result, stormwater, which would naturally percolate into the ground, runs off of the impermeable surfaces, carrying with it litter, pesticides and fertilizers, heavy metals, and other pollutants. In more densely developed areas, pollutants such as oil and gasoline can be washed off in to the streets. While in more rural areas, agricultural runoff can contain excessive nutrients, which are harmful to fish and can pollute drinking water. Therefore, it is important for the City to ensure that development takes place in a manner that is consistent with the appropriate management of stormwater. The appropriate management of stormwater involves: treatment of stormwater prior to discharge into surface waters, floodwater abatement to ensure that post-development run-off does not exceed pre-development runoff, and design of stormwater facilities to promote recharge to the underlying aquifer system. To protect the quality of surface waters, the federal government enacted Section 208 of the Water Pollution Control Act for stormwater management. Additionally, Section 405 of the federal 1987 Clean Water Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA to establish permit regulations for stormwater. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (~ nr~`NPDES) permit program has been established by the EPA for municipal and county stormwater systems. Phase ~I of the program addresses cities and counties with e~over 1 00,000 persons. Seminole County was designated a Phase I entity in 1 998. The City Is part of a joint permit with Seminole County and has been participating in the NPDES program for approximately 10 Years. Initial involvement consisted of data gathering and analysis. eke-~tt~ The State of Florida addresses surface water management in Chapter 62-40 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and defines permit requirements and management responsibilities in Chapter 62-25 F.A.C. One of the primary concerns of the State rule is to be prepared for repeat storm events. Many facilities within the State were only designed to adequately treat the first storm. The State emphasizes that capacity must be available 72 hours after the initial storm. The Water Management Districts regulate stormwater management systems via Chapter 40C-42 F.A.C. The Water Management Districts require capturing and treatment of the first flush of stormwater in ponds or swales. The first flush is known to generally contain the majority of the pollutants. IV-67 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City = - ~ - has a Stormwater Master Plan; Plan which was adopted in October 1 993. An update to this document, Supplement 1 (Supplement) was prepared in 2005 to identify and describe new projects that require attention for the future. The ~-._.i„,.-~_~,_'~~_'__~Plan and Supplement are an example of responsible commitment to progressive City planning and resource management. These documents include discussions of site-specific drainage basin parameters used in the analysis; techniques applied; results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis; identification of Stormwater facility capacities, deficiencies, and surpluses; specific improvement alternatives and prioritization of recommended improvements; ~~t ~„~. l~rr~funding evaluation and recommendations; and lastly, a proposed 10-year Capital Improvements Plan. ~i,,~~~~~,,._ ~c,,~..._ ni,,.,Discussion in these documents principally concentrates on the broad analysis of the primary drainage systems and on a detailed analysis of 6 selected secondary drainage systems, which are tributaries to the primary streams. An 'fem. }analysis includes identification of specific areas and projects, which will alleviate flooding and improve water quality. The Supplement also describes the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDESI program. The topography in Winter Springs is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills, ranging from a low of 3 feet above mean sea level to 78 feet above mean sea level. ~ identifies the general topography in Winter Springs. - - ~ « ' ~, ~~ i_._._:.._ .._~,.n__ ~ . n__ . ~ - ~.~ - ~ _ - ~, _ IV-68 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT ~,_ . ~,.,,_~. _ a ~ _~,._._a.. ..,n__ . ,~....~_..aT_ ~._._:,:~_ r~._ . _ ~_..... 4r._n . _a._i_i~.

Soldier's Creel<), and Howell Creek, all of which extend well beyond the City's corporate limits. The Gee Creek and ~~Soldier's Creek drainage basins are situated in the western sector of the City, while the Howell Creek drainage basin is situated in the eastern sector. Gee Creek, Howell Creek, and Soldier's Creek drain into Lal<e Jesup, which in turn, flows into the St. Johns River. The St. {}Johns River flows northward where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. These primary drainage basins are depicted in Map IV-~3E-2. A brief description of each primary drainage basin is provided below. The topography of Howell ~}Creek Basin is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills, and in some areas there are swamps and sinkholes. The Howell Creel< Basin is located in both Orange and Seminole Counties and has a basin area of 45.5 square miles. The headwaters of Howell Creek originate in Lake Maitland, which receives inflows from three chains of lakes via ponds. The creek then flows northeasterly through Lake Howell and continues to meet Bear Creek near Winter Springs Boulevard. The convergence occurs approximately 2 miles upstream from Lake Jesup. The headwaters of Bear Creek are located in Bear Gully Lake, which receives inflows from other lakes. The drainage area of Gee Creek is approximately 11.79 square miles and has six significant tributaries, all of which are located outside of City limits. A major portion of the City of Winter Springs, from Tuskawilla Road west, drains to this creek. ~~Soldier's Creek Basin consists of approximately 19 square miles of west central Seminole County and encompasses portions of the City's of Lake Mary, Longwood, Sanford, as well as unincorporated Seminole County. Only a small portion of the City of Winter Springs, located in the northwest, drains to e~Soldier's Creek. The scope of the-~:-~.~~~=~rt~r~ Plan was limited to a general analysis of the three primary drainage basins based upon review of previous studies. Additionally, a detailed analysis of 6 selected secondary drainage basins located within and encompassing a portion of the City _ ~- ~ was performed. All six of these basins are tributaries to the three primary streams. These selected secondary systems are depicted in Map IV-E-2: Primary Drainage Basins and are identified below: a. Soldier's Creel< Basin, Secondary Basin System 1 (Lake Audubon~Highlands Creek) - This basin is approximately 1.59 square miles and includes an area south of S.R. 434, the Winter Springs Golf Course, the Highland PUD, and an area west of the Highlands to US 17-92. The system discharges into Soldier's Creel< via an existing creek, which flows northeasterly. b. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System 2 (No Name Creek) - This basin is approximately 1.10 square miles and includes the easterly portion of the Ranchlands, a portion of the Mt. Greenwood PUD, and portions of North Orlando sections 2A, 9 and 10. The system discharges via an existing creek which drains easterly from the North Orlando Ranches and then northerly to Gee Creek. c. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System 3 (Little Lake Howell) -This basin collects runoff from approximately 3.34 square miles and includes the southeast portion of the Ranchlands, Dunmar Estates, all of Oak Forest, a portion of Tuscawilla located east of IV - 73 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Tusl<eawilla Road, and the dense vegetative hammock north of Oak Forest and South of SR 43441 9. This basin discharges through an existing creek into No Name Creek. d. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 4 (Tuscawilla Golf Course~Undeveloped Lands) -This system discharges via an existing 48" culvert under Greenbriar Lane and a connecting ditch into Howell Creek. It serves as the positive outfall for the area including Chelsea Parc, Glen Eagle Units 1, 2, 3 and 4; Tuscawilla Unit 7; Fairway Oaks; Chestnut Ridge; Winter Springs Unit 3; Greenbriar Lane; `~nNorthern Way; Tuscawilla Golf tCourse, and an offsite area discharging through an 18" culvert under Northern Way. e. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 5 (Tuscawilla Unit 14A) -This system provides a positive outfall for a portion of Tuscawilla Unit 14. The system provides stormwater treatment and attenuation within :tan individual retention area prior to discharge through a control structure and into Bear Creek. Bear Creek drains northerly and into Howell Creek. f. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System 6 (Tuscawilla Units 1 1 B and 1 2A) -This system is divided into two separate drainage areas, approximate total basin size of 51.44 acres, which drain into two common retention ponds. These ponds provide stormwater treatment and attenuation prior to discharge through control structures which outfall into an existing Swale, which flows to Bear Creek and ultimately Howell Creek. Additionally, approximately 5 acres of the City of Oviedo, in the area of Winter Springs Boulevard, drains into stormwater facilities owned and operated by the City of Winter Springs. Capacity and Level of Service The areas of~kr Winter Springs that have a paved infrastructure system under the control and maintenance of the City and have a stormwater management system with a design capacity to handle a 25-=year, 24-=hour storm event represent approximately 59% of the City's overall area. Approximately 95 percent of the City's drainage facility capacity is apportioned to the City ~ ,; the remainder serves the cities of Oviedo and Casselberry. The 10-, 25-, and 100-year, 24-hour storm events were considered in the analysis of the existing drainage systems. These storm events were selected by the n~- ~ ~~~ ~~~ ~- ~Cit~staff to evaluate the LOS of the existing secondary drainage systems. The approximate LOS for the 6 secondary drainage systems was determined as required by Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. The LOS for the analysis of the secondary basins was assigned as summarized below: • LOS A -Protection from 1 00-year, 24-hour storm event • LOS B -Protection from 25-year, 24-hour storm event • LOS C -Protection from 1 0-year, 24-hour storm event • LOS D -Flooding from 10-year, 24-hour storm event IV-74 Z w w J W W H U H N Q LL Z C~ ZZ ~ Q ~ J W W _~ Z N _ Z 3 W ~ O H U U .y d d a c CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The recommendations of the SJRWMD were utilized in the ~~T~„~- ~~ ~ ~.~:,` ~~ Plan and Supplement to evaluate the ~~_--_'_ ` ~ _~----_ _ !LOS} standards of drainage facilities in the City. The LOS for structures asserts that all existing structures should be free from flooding during a 100-year storm event. The LOS for roadways requires that drainage facilities for arterial roads will be designed to carry a 100-year storm event; collector and neighborhood roads will be designed to carry a 25-year storm event, per City Code. Four flood levels for residential street systems were defined in the Stormwater Master Plan for use in the evaluation of the City's Stormwater management facilities as follows: Flood Level 1 - Water surface at or below street grade. Flood Level 2 - Water surface above street grade, but below 6-inch depth of ponding. Flood Level 3 - Water surface depth greater than 6 inches above street grade, but below 12 inches. Flood Level 4 - Water surface depth greater than 1 2 inches above the street grade. C. STORMWATER FACILITY CAPACITY ANALYSIS Winter Springs has several creeks, Stormwater ponds, and drainage ditches within City Limits, some of which experience problems of flooding. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT IV-76 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT In September 2007, FEMA issued new Flood Insurance Rate Maps. (The previous map update was in 1995.1 -Chapter 8 of the City Code has been amended to be consistent with the new maps. Approximately 8% of the City's land area exists within Flood eZones A; or AE, representing areas of 100-year flooding as identified by National Flood Insurance Maps. Flood zone maps may be found in the Conservation Element of this Plan. Strict adherence to the National Flood Insurance Program criteria is important to flood insurance rates within a jurisdiction as well as protection of life and property. All new development including building permits are reviewed for compliance with the City's flood plain management ordinances. ~~~~~~~-<~`~~~- , <<~: `~~~- "'<~~,Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) have established Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) standards for water bodies in the central Florida area. The TMDL Program is a federallx required water quality program administered by the FDEP under the Florida Watershed Restoration Act (Section 403.067, F.S.). The TMDL program will be incorporated with the current NPDES program. -The City is currently completing a TMDL Master Plan which includes compliance options and an evaluation of each option's cost effectiveness. The TMDL program establishes water quality targets or pollutant load limits that indicate how much of a pollutant level can go into a receiving water body. In 2007. Seminole County and its municipalities approved an interlocal agreement to streamline TMDL intergovernmental cooperation and funding oL?portunities. The TMDL Master Plan will identify upstream water _quality improvement projects for the City to consider in meeting its participation requirements toward the eventual cleanup of receiving water bodies, such as Lake Jesup 1. General Performance and Problem Areas The ~~t-~,~ ~~~-Plan and Supplement identified a number of problem areas in the City that have experienced stormwater-flooding in the past. These areas were identified to bring attention to them in an effort to gain a better understanding of the existing drainage system conditions. _Presented below is a listing of the identified problem areas: • Winter Springs Boulevard Bridge crossing Bear Creek • Northern Way Bridge Crossing Howell Creek, north of Winter Springs Boulevard • Northern Way & Woodchuck Court • stormwater ponds along Seneca Boulevard • Bridges crossing Gee Creek • Oak Forest Units 1 through 4 • North Orlando Ranches sections 1, 2 & 2A, and 6 • Highlands section 1 • North Orlando Terrace section 5 • 434 & Parkstone~Winding Hollow Intersection Additionally, the study of the six secondary drainage basins within the City identified specific drainage facilities with it;---'~~--~'~ ~~ ~'',~'~--~'; ~~ ~',~~~~-~~~~, ~' ~~~~- - - -, - - . ~ ~ -_ IV-77 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT sexisting deficiencies and various alternatives, for correcting the ~~deficiencies ` .~..~.._.-..-~ __~:~i_:._ a_~. ;~..-~._ i_.,.:._. _ A detailed account of prioritized improvements and cost estimates ~<.. i,,, c.,....,~is included in the s10-year Capital Improvements Plan included in the 2005 Supplement. Continuing annual minor renewal and replacement improvements on a system-wide basis is required in addition to the major capital improvements plan. _These improvements might include repair of minor stormwater deficiencies not included as a major capital improvement, but commonly occur throughout the system. Stormwater facilities that require minor work consist of stormwater collection pipes, inlets and catch basins, manholes, swales, ditches, control structures, and erosion pipes. 2. Future Demand and Facility Improvements << ,~ > ,_ --- a. `_ , TMDL's will have a significant impact on the City's stormwater program. The greatest impact will be the costs to implement the requirements of this program. Most existing stormwater programs have generally addressed new development. However, the TMDL program will address both new and existing developments. This may require the retrofitting of existing systems or the installation of new systems in areas where none currently exist. In addition to impacts to the stormwater facilities, the TMDL program max impact other discharges, whether direct or indirect discharges, to receiving water bodies. These include, but are not limited to, direct and indirect discharge from wastewater treatment plants. Indirect wastewater discharges include reclaimed water systems and percolations ponds. Other indirect discharge may include individual septic tank systems. With the completion of the new TMDL Master Plan, the City should move ahead with revising the Code to include the TMDL standards. New development will require more stringent stormwater quality requirements to be imposed. IV-78 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City's 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (SCI) is updated annually and contains specific capital drainage improvements, which have been identified through various sources including the Supplement and the TMDL Master Plan. Key projects on the 5-Year Stormwater Master Plan for fiscal years 2009,1 0 through 201 3/1 4 include: • Lombardy Canal Piping • Various TMDL Water Quality Projects Additionally, the City should continue its participation in joint studies and planning for the areas and basins that affect the City.

NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The protection of recharge areas is critical in locations that rely on aquifers as the sole source of drinking water. Well-drained areas are often subject to alteration by development since these areas are typically prime land for development. The development of impervious surfaces such as roads, roofs, and parking areas reduces the area available for percolation, which, in turn, reduces the quantity of natural recharge to the aquifer. The quality of the water that is recharged in to the aquifer is also a critical factor since impacts of development can compromise the quality of the water. Groundwater can absorb contaminants from development and transmit them to the aquifer. This sub-element is intended to protect the quantity of natural groundwater that is recharged back to the aquifer. The quality of the water for drinking purposes is addressed in the Potable Water :,~~~~Sub-Element. ~B. AQUIFER RECHARGE Lv~rrsiTT~Tl~ n A'rA A ATII A ~ T veTCINVENTORY The City -- - ~. falls within the Middle St. Johns (MSJ) groundwater basin. A groundwater basin is a particular groundwater flow system that encompasses recharge areas as well as the associated discharge areas. Three aquifer systems have been identified in the MSJ groundwater basin. These are the surficial (unconfined), the intermediate, and Floridan aquifer systems. Map IV-~F-1 provides a generalized hydro-geologic cross section of the groundwater basin. Hydrogeology a. Surficial Aquifer The surficial aquifer is composed of sand, shells, and some clays, and ranges in thickness from 20 feet near the St. Johns River to approximately 60 feet in the central part of the basin. The top of the aquifer is defined by the water table, which marks the line below which all pore spaces are filled with water, and rises and falls in response to the atmospheric pressure. Flow in the surficial aquifer usually follows the topography of the land and is an important source of water for individual domestic wells and small-scale irrigation. Since there is no overlying confining unit, groundwater recharge to the surficial aquifer system is controlled by local rainfall, land use, vegetation, topography, and local soils.

P..~,St Fire 1. Generakized hydrogeptogic crass 5e'rtOn, St. ,113hrts River Water Management [}istrict sCr ," Areas characterized by highly permeable, sandy soils that transmit fluids easily and yield significant quantities of water, are typically good recharge areas for the surficial aquifer system. This aquifer system can discharge into surface streams, lakes, and rivers, or deeper aquifers. b. Intermediate Aquifer The intermediate system lies below the surficial aquifer but above the Floridan and occurs randomly throughout the groundwater basin. It is composed of clays and thin, water-bearing zones of sand, shell, and limestone. The intermediate aquifer is usually found within the confining unit of the Floridan and occurs at 60 to 150 feet below land surface and supplies water to some parts of the basin. This aquifer is an important source of potable water where the Floridan aquifer contains water of marginal quality. IV-83 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT c. Floridan Aquifer The Floridan aquifer is the principal source of water for consumptive use in the MSJ groundwater basin and is the aquifer from which the City ~- - ~, draws its public water supply. The Floridan aquifer is an artesian aquifer composed of limestone and dolomite. Characteristically, artesian aquifers contain groundwater that is under pressure that is greater than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure is demonstrated by the potentiometric surface level, which is the level to which water will rise in tightly enclosed wells that penetrate the aquifer. The Floridan aquifer usually has two permeable zones containing potable water in the MSJ groundwater basin. The upper permeable zone consists of cavernous Ocala and Avon Park limestone and extends from approximately 200 to 500 feet below land surface. Withdrawals from the upper permeable zone are generally limited to small public supply and domestic wells. This zone provides the public water supply for the City ~ - :, as the City's wells are generally in the 350-foot range. The lower permeable zone consists of cavernous Lake City limestone and extends from about 1,000 to 1,300 feet below land surface. In most areas, the public water supply comes from this zone. d. Groundwater Quality of the Floridan Aquifer The natural quality of groundwater in MSJ groundwater basin varies greatly depending on the location and the depth from which water is obtained. A major concern in this basin is saltwater intrusion in areas of Seminole County. Although the MSJ groundwater basin is inland from the sea, and bordered on the west by the peninsular divide, there are some patches of connate saltwater in the Floridan aquifer. The potential exists for this saline water to migrate upward within the aquifer system in response to declines in the potentiometric surface, the magnitude of groundwater withdrawals, and climatic changes. However, ~ - ,the CjtY is located outside the areas in Seminole County that have associated chloride and sulfate concentrations of equal or greater than 250 mg~l., the recommended limit of chloride and sulfate for public water supplies set by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Therefore, the Floridan aquifer underlying ~~ the City is of good water quality and only aeration and chlorination treatments are required to provide the City with potable water for distribution. ~C. AQUIFER RECHARGE ANALYSIS Groundwater recharge is vital for providing adequate groundwater supplies for future uses and for preserving the quality of groundwater resources. Recharge to the Floridan aquifer occurs in areas where the elevation of the water table within the surficial aquifer is higher than the elevation of the potentiometric surface elevation of the Floridan aquifer. The elevation of the potentiometric surface is approximately forty-five (45) feet above mean sea level (MSL) within the Winter Springs service area and fluctuates in response to rainfall amounts within the recharge areas. Normally, the potentiometric surface level fluctuates about five (5) feet, with the highest levels being recorded in September, just after the rainy season. The lowest levels are normally in May, after the dry season. In areas where the elevation of the water table is higher than the potentiometric surface, water moves from the surficial aquifer in a downward direction through the upper confining unit to the IV-84 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Floridan aquifer. Recharge rates are highest in areas where the hydraulic pressure difference and permeability are greatest. Recharge rates are directly proportional to the hydraulic pressure difference and upper confining unit hydraulic conductivity and inversely proportional to the upper confining unit thickness. Recharge also occurs directly from infiltrating rainfall where limestones of the Floridan aquifer are at or near land surface. The amount of water available as recharge to the Floridan aquifer is that part of rainfall, after losses to runoff and evapotranspiration, that infiltrates to the water table and continues to move downward to the Floridan aquifer-_ Generally, when rainfall exceeds evaporation by approximately two inches (2") per year, and the difference between water table elevation and the potentiometric surface is about ten (10) feet, conditions which are conducive to recharge exist, and recharge to the Floridan ~er-aquifer occurs. Soils having high infiltration potential with little or no runoff due to the lack of surface drainage features are most conducive to recharging groundwater systems. Areas of groundwater recharge to the upper Floridan aquifer in Winter Springs are depicted in Map IV-1~F-2. ~1. Regulatory Framework Regulations have been enacted to prevent negative impacts of excessive water consumption. Extreme lowering of aquifer levels and surface water flows can adversely impact ecosystems by lowering lake levels, degrading wetlands and other natural systems and habitats. Other related negative impacts can include increased sinkhole frequency and saltwater intrusion in coastal areas. a. State Regulation Groundwater within the State of Florida has been classified into four categories in Section 62 Florida Administrative Code.- F( A.C. These classifications and their designated uses are, as follows: CLASS F-I Potable water use, groundwater in single-source aquifers described in Rule 62-520.460 F.A.C., which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 3,000 mq,/I and were specifically reclassified as Class F-1 by the Commission. CLASS G-I Potable water use, groundwater in single-source aquifers which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 3,000 mg~l. CLASS G-II Potable water use, groundwater in aquifers which have a total dissolved solids content of less than 10,000 mg~l, unless otherwise classified by the Environmental Regulation Commission. CLASS G-III Non-potable water use, groundwater in unconfined aquifers which has a total dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg~l or greater, or which has total dissolved solids of 3,000-10,000 mg~l and either has been reclassified by the Commission as having no reasonable potential as a future source of drinking water, or has been designated by the Department as an exempted aquifer pursuant to Section 62-28.1 3(3), F.A.C. CLASS G-IV Non-potable water use, groundwater in confined aquifers which has a total dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg~l or greater. IV-85 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The State delegates powers to agencies to regulate well construction and ensure that wells are contaminant free. The potable water,, provided by the public wells,, within ~ - ,the City is of a good quality requiring minimal treatment. The Water Management Districts within the state designate areas that are Priority Water Resource Caution Areas (PWRCA) and Restricted Allocation Areas (RAA). `~l~'r<Trt- _ .. ~~(~_m7~i'~c~~r~-`'n`T~lc~'-i;;?~E~;;r_=i=rr 1~The City is located in an area that the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) identifies as a priority water resource caution area in the District Wafer Supply Plan 2005. A priority water resource caution area is an area where existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water may not be adequate to supply water for all existing legal uses and anticipated future needs while sustaining water resources and related natural systems through 2025. The regional water supply plan for the Priority Water Resource Caution Area (District Water SuL?ply Plan 2005) was approved by the District Governing Board on February 7, 2006, and an addendum affecting some local governments was approved on October 10, 2006. Seminole County and all municipalities located in the County are affected by the PRWCA. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop a county-wide water suppiy plan (County Plan). The County Plan identifies projects that are suitable to be included in a future update or addendum to the District Water Supply Plan 2005. In addition, the City adopted its 10-year Water SuL?ply Facilities Work Plan and update to its Comprehensive Plan on Julx 23, 2007 meeting the mandated deadline of August 7, 2007. The SJRWMD has produced a series of GIS maps regarding aquifer recharge, water use, and related natural resource protection. ~~~~~r ,i_„> ~;__ _. - ~t--„~,_.._ ,~~V„ ~ r,:,~..:.-The SJRWMD has the authority to establish consumptive use permitting within its district, under Section 373.216 of the Florida Statutes. The basic principal of the consumptive use permit (CUP) review is as follows: 1) The use must be beneficial. 2) The use must not interfere with apre-existing legal use. 3) The use must be in the public interest. <. .. - ~:. - ~ - . ~ The City's CUP was issued by the SJRWMD in October 1996 and -, expired on October 8, 2006. The City filed an application for the Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) prior to the expiration date and the application is under review. The City continues to operate off of the expired permit until a new one is issued. At the time of renewal the City, if eligible, can opt fora 20-year permit.

Prior to the adoption of the ordinance, the annual usage exceeded the permitted capacity three out of the five years following the issuance of the 1996 CUP. b. Local Regulations The City ~ ~ , adheres to the standards adopted for wellhead - -_ ~--~` ~- --~ -'~:~-- - protection - ~ , ebv the SJRWMD and the FDEP, including restricting the type of development allowed in the vicinity of a wellhead and requiring a S00-foot protection zone around each wellhead (see Future Land Use Element). Land use surrounding a water supply site is a major consideration in the selection and protection of well sites to avoid contamination. As part of the City's wellhead protection plan, the City should identify all potential sources of contamination for existing wells. The direction of groundwater flow is to the northeast toward Lake JesUp• The City has addressed other policies that implement groundwater protection efforts, most significantly, a water reuse program. While the City itself does not have problems with the saltwater intrusion or other contamination of its wells, the impact of excessive pumping of the City's wells may affect areas of susceptibility in Seminole County. Therefore, water reuse is an important consideration since it means less water is pumped out of the aquifer. Currently, the City ~.-,r- ~operates a trreclaimed water ~- ~'.~~~,. system, which services ~}F~1 ,644 residential ~ _ -connections, one golf t-?escourse, the city's parks, and public rights of way. This approach to supplementing water supply demands by utilizing reclaimed water errrk~can conserve significant quantities of fresh water for higher priority use.

V-9 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B. INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose CONSERVATION ELEMENT As stated in Rule 9J-5.013, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the purpose of the Conservation Element is to promote the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources. This Element of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan ,~~,' ;~'~~identifies and :~trrl~ranalyzes sources of surface and groundwater, wetlands, flood ~~ Ip gin, air quality, valuable minerals, soil erosion, dominant vegetative and wildlife communities, listed vegetative and wildlife species, and the potential for conservation, use, and protection of ~ke~?esthese vital resources. 2. Environmental Setting Winter Springs is located in Seminole County, in east-central Florida. The City is bordered to the north by Lake Jesup and is situated entirely within the Middle St. Johns River Drainage basin. Winter Springs ._ - , possesses an abundance of natural resources including clean air; wetland and upland forests, which provide habitat for wildlife; uncontaminated groundwater, recreational opportunities, open space, and storage of floodwaters, all of which contribute to the well being of the City and its inhabitants. ', - .. C. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS 1. Surface Water The City lies within three primary drainage basins served by, Gee Creek, Soldier Creek (a.k.a. Soldier's Creek), and Howell Creek, all of which extend well beyond the City's corporate limits. The Gee Creek and Soldier's Creek drainage basins are situated in the western sector of the City, while the Howell Creek drainage basin is situated in the eastern sector. Gee Creek, Howell Creek, and Soldier's Creek drain into Lal<e Jesup, which in turn, flows into the St. Johns River. The St. Johns River flows northward where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. These primary drainage basins are de~~icted -' _ ~TITIT?1"~1"~~ _ ~~~~ -.n ~, - ,i_ ~ Tz~ ~. .i_ -~~ _~., ,~. ~_ ._ ,~..a in Map IV-D-2 -- ----- - - ------ ---- - - -- -- -'r' - ----- of the Drainage Element of this Comprehensive Plan. ~--~-`<~ - ~- <~` ~- ~- , ~~, ~t~`:-_~, ~- ~,<n~; ". ~-r'..~~ ~ '.,.~.:...,..~The City's major water features are depicted in Map I-7 of the Future Land Use Element. Stream Condition Index Reports from Florida's Department of Environmental Protection for Gee and Howell Creeks in Winter Springs in the late 1 990's indicated that water quality at these locations was very good at that time. Suggestions in these reports for maintenance of the environmental health of these creeks included maintenance and addition of stormwater management improvements; restoration of riparian zones, and preservation of wetland areas. V-10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT The Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Water Quality, ?`--' l~:~lntegrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida: 2006 305 (b) T' ~~Report and 303(d) List Update as well as the Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy, January 2008, was utilized to assess water quality of the City's lakes and provided information on several common pollution problems. The following are water quality characteristics identified within _ _ - hese reports: 1. Fecal Coliform Bacteria ~2. Dissolved Oxygen ?3. €~~H ~4. ~Un-ionized Ammonia 5. Chlorophyll a ~6. ~Trophic State Index (TSII }7. Nitrogen Er.8. ~'--~~Phosphorus Lake Jesup is located in the heart of Seminole County, along the middle basin of the St. Johns River. It encompasses an area of approximately 16,000 acres including open water and flood plain. . - ', , _ < ~ . - ~ - According to the Integrated Water Quality Assessment for Florida: 2006 305 (b) Report and 303(d) List Update, Lake Jesup was reported to have extremely abundant populations of blue green algae. In addition to adding to the eutrophy of the lake, these algae can potentially produce chemicals that can cause liver, brain, and skin toxicity. The Lake Jesup interagency Restoration Strategy, published in January 2008 by Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Fish & Wildlife Commission, and the St. Johns River Water Management District noted how the lake is hypereutrophic with almost constant algal blooms demonstrating the heavy phosphorous loading. The 2008 Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy notes the lake is impaired by high levels of nitrogen, phosphorous and un-ionized ammonia; the 2006 Florida assessment also identified impairment for exceeding the TSI parameter. Additionally, according to the Lake Jesup Conservation Area Land Management Plan, Middle St. Johns River Basin (20081, Jesup has been recognized as the most polluted lake directly connected to the St. Johns River. The 2008 Restoration Strategy notes that prior to 1 983, Lake Jesup received marginally treated wastewater discharge via Howell Creek and various wastewater facilities. Although wastewater no longer empties into the system, various parameters did not recover sufficiently to restore the lake. A Basin Management Action Plan is currentlx under development to further improve water quality of the lake through nutrient load reduction and various other measures. Reducing the pollutants in the lake will result in improving its value and vitality as a natural resource and recreational area. In 2007, Seminole County and its municipalities approved an interlocal agreement to significantlx streamline intergovernmental cooperation and funding opportunities to address the issue of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for impaired water bodies without creating a new entity or superseding the authority of individual jurisdictions. TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water V-11 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT _auality standards. The City is currently undertaking a TMDL study to evaluate the City's alternatives in meeting its TMDL requirements. 2. Wetlands Wetlands are defined ash transitional areas between the open waters of streams, lakes and the adjacent uplands. They are characterized by vegetation and animal life that is uniquely adapted to the natural fluctuations of wet and dry conditions. r ---ITWetlands provide many important functions such as providing vital fish and wildlife habitats, and acting as storage areas for excess surface water. They also improve water quality by performing the same function as a settling pond. Impurities enter the wetland and are filtered through the vegetation. As the water travels through the wetland, toxins and nutrients are removed, allowing the filtered clean water to exit the wetland. This protects the rivers from overloading with nutrients=2a~~ - - _ In addition, the soil is stabilized which, in turn, prevents erosion. However, much of this natural, ordered system of surface water purification is quickly disappearing due to urban encroachment. A fair amount of wetland habitat still exists in the Winter Springs area and is scattered throughout the City. Though most of this wetland habitat is found along the shores of Lake Jesup, a significant portion extends into the center of the City. The majority of -the City's wetlands are of the Palustrine nature. A Palustrine system includes any nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas where salinity due to ocean derived salts is below 0.05%. In addition, diminutive areas of Lacustrine wetland can be found along Lal<e Jesup's southern shore. A Lacustrine wetland is, by definition, lake-associated and may include freshwater marshes, aquatic beds, and lakeshores. z'~ ~- ~- , `'~ The Palustrine wetlands within -- - ~: the City consist of: hydric hammocks and hardwood swamps, with small areas of cypress, bayhead, and wet prairie, while the minute section of Lacustrine wetland consists of water and shallow marsh. Map I- 8located in the Future Land Use Element depicts wetlands within the Winter Springs area, while wetland vegetative cover is represented --won Map I-9 also located in the Future Land Use Element. 3. Flood 1gPlain The City - participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 100-year floodplain in Winter Springs ;orris predominately limited to the shorelines adjacent to Lal<e Jesup, Little Lake Howell, Lake Talmo, and the riverine flood plain of Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek, Bear Creek, and Howell Creek. Policies 1 rare included to ±~-enable the long-range protection - - of the City's flood plain areas. Encroachment on flood-prone areas can occur as a result of artificial fill associated with development activity. Encroachment takes away the floodwater holding capacity of an area, resulting in an increase in flood hazards beyond existing flood-prone areas. In order to ensure public health and safety and minimize flood hazard to public and private property, it is recommended that net encroachment within the flood plain be prohibited. V-12 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT According to the City's ~ - ~ - Code of Ordinances, a development permit .~',.~" '~ ',`.~~~, -'is required before construction or development begins ---~~ . - ~ _ When new construction and substantial improvements do occur in areas of special flood hazards, they shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Additional requirements ~-require a minimum elevation above the flood plain for the lowest floor elevation, as well as electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment, and other service facilities-r-e Hazardous materials can be dangerous when located in flood prone areas, as floodwaters can diffuse spills to surface waters and aquatic populations. Therefore t~-rs ~, ~ policies require that no hazardous materials or wastes be stored within the 1 00-year flood plain. In addition, new and replacement sanitary sewer systems Aare required to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the water supply systems and discharge from the systems into floodwaters. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. No new septic tanks can be located within the 100-year flood plain, as this can contribute to surface water quality problems. Existing septic systems within the flood plain should be removed and connection made to the City's sanitary sewer service, when possible. ~~ .Special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the Flood Insurance Study for Seminole County dated September 28, 2007 with the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and other supporting data were adopted by the City in January 2008. The FIS and FIRM are the minimum area of applicability and may be supplemented by studies of other areas. These areas correspond with the FEMA G23 flood plain data depicted on Map I-10 located in the Future Land Use Element. The FEMA definitions for these zones are as follows': Zone A: Zone A is part of the special flood hazard area and the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 1 -percent annual chance flood plains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by approximate methods of analysis. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for such areas, no Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. Zone AE and A T -A30: Zones AE is part of the special flood hazard area and are the flood insurance rate zones that correspond to the 1 -percent annual chance flood plains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by detailed methods of analysis. In most instances, Base Flood Elevations derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. Zone AH: Zone AH is part of the special flood hazard area and the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the areas of 1 -percent annual chance shallow flooding with a constant i http://~~-~~~v.fem:l.~o~-/pl<to/pre~-ent/fliin/fc~,~enl3.shtm V-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT water-surface elevation (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet. The Base Flood Elevations derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements aL?ply. Zones B, C, and X: Zones B, C, and X are the flood insurance rate zones that correspond to areas outside the 1 -percent annual chance flood plain, areas of 1 -percent annual chance sheet flow flooding where average depths are less than 1 foot, areas of 1-percent annual chance stream flooding where the contributing drainage area is less than 1 square mile, or areas protected from the 1 -percent annual chance flood by levees. No Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone. Insurance purchase is not required in these zones. 4. Air Quality The City _ ~ - ~. has a very limited amount of air pollution. This can be attributed to the minimal existence of air pollution sources found within the City. FDEP's Air Pollution Inventory System monitors point sources of air pollution, which are stationary and usually industrial; and area sources, which are combined emissions of many small stationary sources in an area. According to the FDEP, Winter Springs has ~rrtwo active point -sources, in proximity to Winter Springs, but not under the Citesjurisdiction. These are the APAC- Southeast, Inc. located on S.R. 419 which manufactures asphalt, and Premix Marbletite, which manufactures cement products; and #~=r,is located in a county enclave on Old Sanford Oviedo Road. There are three active area sources, which are k}all dry cleaning operations. The locations of these point and area sources are identified in Map V-I. An inventory of each active point and area air pollution source is provided in z.~~r-Table V-1 .

This station (site) is FDEP maintained and :._.includes one ozone~rrr~, one coarse particulate-H~x~ . ~ ,and one set of fine particulate monitors. Fine particulates or PM2.s are particles which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less. Coarse particulates or PMT o are ~ ~ _ - _ _ .particles greater than 2.5, but less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter. At the present, FDEP does not conduct ambient air monitoring ,~ ~ , _ -for Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, or Sulfur in Seminole County.~~it r._.,.v. r ~..-_i ~i,._,._ These pollutants are rlikely present in Winter Springs, but well below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, according to the FDEP. While there is no ambient monitoring for Lead, it is practically nonexistent in Florida. An assessment of these pollutants is provided below. a. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is emitted by motor vehicle exhaust. Exhaust emissions from automobiles pose a threat of increased carbon monoxide emissions. However, existing traffic patterns within the City are such that large concentrations of traffic seldom accumulate for long periods of time. This helps to negate the possibility of large concentrations of carbon monoxide from forming.

Lead CONSERVATION ELEMENT While lead is found ~Fnaturally in ~ . the environment, it is the man made lead which is most prevalent. Legislation from the Environmental Protection Agency has reduced the amount of lead allowed in gasoline to the point that the maximum allowable level of lead in gasoline stands at 0.1 grams per gallon. According to the FDEP, lead as an air pollutant is practically nonexistent in the State of Florida except in areas that have lead smelters or process batteries. Therefore, Winter Springs should face no substantial problems with lead. c. Nitrogen Dioxide The threat of nitrogen dioxide forming in heavy concentrations in Winter Springs is relatively low due to the traffic patterns of the city, and also to environmental legislation. The prime contributor of nitrogen dioxide to the atmosphere is the high temperature fuel combustion engine. Under legislation from the Federal Clean Air Act, new model cars are required to be equipped with catalytic converters. These converters act as a filter of car exhaust, thereby helping to prevent the further proliferation of nitrogen dioxide. Mandates for clean fuels also contributed to reduction in nitrogen dioxide formation. d. Ozone On March 12, 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA1 changed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAG2S) for the pollutant ozone (Os), the principal component of smog. The primary (health-protective) standard was changed from 0.08 parts per million (ppm) to 0.075 fpm. The secondary (public welfare-protective) standard was also set at 0.075 fpm. Compliance with the standards is based on the three-year average of the annual fourth highest maximum daily 8-hour concentration. With these new standards Seminole County is compliant; however, it shares the same Metropolitan Statistical Area with Orange County which currently exceeds the new 0.075 ppm standard. Ozone is considered to be a problem for highly urbanized areas. The City ~- - ,, while not highly urbanized, could still be affected by ozone in the future through the growth of the Orlando area- as indicated by Orange County's current ozone exceedance. Ozone is borne in the air and formed through reactions between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. The worst ozone conditions are hot, calm winded days. During this type of weather, the atmosphere becomes extremely heated causing increased reactions and levels of ozone to grow. Without wind the ozone remains in a concentrated area causing further pollution problems. e. Sulfur Dioxide Human made sources of sulfur dioxide represent about one third (1 ~3) of all measurable amounts. Most is emitted through coal fired or oil fired electric generation plants. The City's ~ ~ ~,' power plant, °1 ~-~'.~ ,,,,__~. ~~ ~~Progress Energy, though not within corporate City limits, is a fossil- fueled plant that uses oil, coal, or gas in the generation of electricity. Sulfur V-18 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT dioxide is also generated in small quantities by combustible engines._ However, as stated earlier, negligible levels produced by automobiles are present in Winter Springs. f. Particulate Matter (PM~o and PM2_s) There are two '»~~~<~~~ .v..,.. ~~<~~' manmade classifications of ~~particulate matter. , .-~: ,i ~ ~: .i , - _ `. -r...~: ,~ They are fine (PM~o) and coarse (PM2,5). Sources of PM~o include motor vehicle emissions, power generation, combustible engines, and sources produced from some industrial activities. ~~: -,`~-.~'~`~ _ ~,.~' --~-~ ~ Sources of PM2.s include dirt from unpaved streets, dry topsoil from agricultural fields, and dust from construction or mining. Human made emissions, which contribute to the overall levels of ~e{} particulate matter, are very minimal in relation to the naturally occurring matter. However, fine particles are most closely associated with health effects. Human made sources of this pollutant are now being controlled by new technologies such as inertial separators and wet collection devices- and other air pollution control devices and processes. g. Overall Ambient Air Quality The overall air quality within Winter Springs is expected to remain good in the future. Fortunately, more stringent standards imposed by the EPA and new technologies are such that the generation of severe pollution problems has been curbed considerably. The foremost concern for Winter Springs will be the encroachment of the Orlando Urban Area, and those pollution problems associated with highly urbanized areas. 5. Hazardous Waste The City ~ - ~, is fortunate to have no hazardous waste sites within corporate limits; likewise, there are no hazardous waste cleanup sites in the City. However, there are nine documented sources of hazardous waste in Seminole County, many of which are also hazardous waste cleanup sites. ~ _ < rrr-Monitoring and overseeing cleanup services, . are operated bx the ~~ -Seminole County Environmental Services Department with coordinated efforts by Seminole County i~~~rT~~Fire Department, the State of Florida, and various Federal agencies ~=rrrrk~who monitor the process as required by law. For these services, the hazardous waste generator would be charged as required by law, or a disaster declaration would be requested and funding would be available through ~rState and Federal agencies. The FDEP keeps a listing of all hazardous materials, their amounts, storage methods and disposal methods for small industrial operations within the County. Locally, T''=.r . ..the Seminole County Environmental Services Department conducts compliance assistance visits (CAVs) at businesses and government facilities that potentially generate hazardous waste or other regulated wastes, investigates citizen complaints related to environmental issues involving either businesses or V-19 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT private households, and responding to major spills and releases to ensure they are cleaned up and remediated properly. Seminole County conducts annual site visits as required by the State of Florida for those businesses that meet or exceed the threshold planning quantity of any Extremely Hazardous Substance. In addition, the owner, occupant is required to submit documentation to the State and the Local Emergency Planning Committees on the Hazardous Materials at or above the required thresholds. This information is sent to the applicable local fire departments. Any hazardous material generator that meets the hazardous material threshold as established by the State Emergency Response Commission is required by law to notify the r ~:~~ ~~" ~~~ ~ ~,- ~, _ _ _ ~ ~- .Seminole County Environmental Compliance, Assistance and Pollution Prevention Program (ECAP31 Team. ECAP3 exists to protect the citizens, employees, environment and County Landfill from exposure or contamination due to improper management and disposal of hazardous waste or other regulated waste. Further information on programs for disposal of hazardous waste by the Seminole County Environmental Services Department is included in the Infrastructure Element, Solid Waste Sub-Element. 6. Commercially Valuable Minerals The City's most prevalent mineral resource is sand, which is most often used for construction purposes or as fill material in Florida. There are several sandpits in Seminole County that are currently operating or have been operating in the recent past,'-----r-~none of which are within the City_ - - ~,. Included within the County are sand pits operated Excavated Products, Cecil A. Stone, Sullivan Materials, White Construction, the Florida Department of Transportation, CDS Trucking, and Marquette Shores, Inc. Although some phosphatic sediments are known to be present in Winter Springs, their ground depth as well as their unproven quality and quantity makes them uneconomical at the present. 7. Soil Erosion According to the USDA Soil Conservation Service, there are no major soil erosion problems in the Winter Springs area. However, it should be noted that _, i~rsudden impairment to watersheds occurred as a result of the 2004 hurricane activity and 2007 tornado activity and aid for the installation of emergency watershed protection measures to relieve hazards and damages to the watershed were provided to the City by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Erosion problems have also been found to occur in portions of Howell Creek. This may be due to the land alteration, which has resulted in unstable stream side-slopes and loss of flood plain vegetation, which may result in sedimentation and water quality problems. Erosion and sedimentation problems are predominately due to wind and stormwater runoff over sandy, uncovered soils during construction activity or other clearing activities. In order to minimize erosion and sedimentation associated with development activities, the USDA Soil Conservation Service recommends that all developers be required to utilize V-20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT best management techniques for erosion control. Landscaping plans are recommended to be required for all industrial, commercial, and multi-family residential development. It is also recommended that all new development, other than infill of existing single-family residential lots that are served by regional systems, should include methods of stormwater retention which ensure post-development water run-off rates do not exceed pre- development runoff rates. 8. Soils and Vegetative Communities Soils provide several resource functions including drainage, stormwater filtration, water storage, aquifer recharge, and ground stabilization. ~ -.Map I-11 of the Future Land Use Element depicts soil types within the City _ - According to the data provided by United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the dominant soils in the developed areas within the City ~ `,-.r- ~-consist of Urban Land-Astatula-Apopka and Urban Land-Tavares--Millhopper~~ - _ _ -, soils which are characterized by being well-drained soils that are sandy throughout and contain a loamy sub-soil at a depth of 40 inches or more and are generally found in upland areas. Only a few areas of native vegetation exist in these soil types since they are well suited for the development of houses, large buildings, shopping centers, golf courses, and other urban uses. The dominant native vegetative communities found in these soil types consist of bluejack oak, live oal<, and turkey oal<. The understory includes chalky bluestem, Indian grass, panicum, pineland threeawn, and annualforbs. Soils located in the undeveloped areas of the City including flatwoods, sloughs; _. _ - , _ and ~, ~_ . depressions include the - ~ _ - .: Myakka-~~Eau Gallie-Urban Land; ~. ._. and St. Johns-~~rrMalabar-Wabasso; soil types. In the flood plain, depressions, creeks and swamps the Nittaw-Felda-Floridana and Pompano- Nittaw-Basinger- soil types are found. These soil types are all poorly drained and support vegetation such as slash pine, saw palmetto, cypress, and other water tolerant vegetation. 9. Dominant Animal Species `vwithin the Winter Springs Area .. , The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission provided Map V-2 Florida Managed Areas. Map V-2 shows the strategic habitat conservation areas within the V-21 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT vicinity of Winter Springs. The Lake Jesup Conservation Area Land Management Plan, February 2008 notes that the site provides habitat for both fish and wildlife, including species such as wood stork, bald eagle, Florida sandhill crane and the American alligator. The Florida Natural Areas Inventory is the primary source for information on Florida's conservation lands. National parks, state forests, wildlife management areas, local and private preserves are examples of the managed areas included in the Florida Managed Areas. 10. Listed Plant and Animal Species ~rzwithin the Winter Springs Area ~~~ ;~~~~~~'~'~~'~.~'~~~.~~. In January 2009, ecological reports by the Florida Natural Inventory were prepared to identify listed vegetative and wildlife species which are hke1~T to ezist in the Winter Springs area. due to the existence of suitable habitat. While the database is the most comprehensive source of information available on the locations of rare species and other significant ecological resources, it is not always based on site-specific surveys. The report notes that `based on available information the area appears to be located on or very near a significant region of scrub habitat, a natural community in decline that provides important habitat for several rare species within a small area.' The two tables below indicate threatened and endanaered species in the Winter Sprinas area. Table V-2 shows those species with documented occurrences and notes the state and federal status. Table V-2a lists species and natural communities likely to occur in the site based on suitable habitat and/or known occurrences in the vicinity, as well as species that have the potential to occur based on the Known or predicted ranae of the species. While a number of animal species have the potential of occurrence, these have not all been confirmed by direct observation.

V-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT 1 1. Commercial, Recreation wand Conservation Uses 8€of Natural Resources a. Commercial No large-scale operations for the extraction of commercially valuable minerals take place within Winter Springs. The same is true for other natural resources, which are susceptible to exploitation by industries such as forestry and commercial fishing. The primary commercial exploitation of natural resources is development. Through land clearing, vast amounts of upland vegetative communities have been destroyed or altered. However, these upland plant communities are better suited to development than wetland areas, and do not pose as many governmental regulatory problems for developers as wetland areas do. Another minor commercial use of natural resources within the Winter Springs area is that of the numerous fishing guides located within the Seminole County area. However, sport fishing is a minor draw on natural resources of the lakes in the Winter Springs area, and it can be noted that fishing enthusiasts rely on recreational fishing methods for their catch, rather than netting or other commercial means. No large-scale commercial operations dependent upon natural resources are anticipated to locate within Winter Springs at this time. b. Recreation A large portion of the recreational and leisure activities of Winter Springs' residents revolves around the Lake Jesup lakefront area. Central Winds Park, the City's largest developed community park; is located on Lake Jesup and provides abundant opportunities for resource-based activities. -' Amenities in these parks amenities include ; -~- playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, a large multi-purpose field, ;~~,' ;~ ~,;~~-~- `~-;~~'.numerous baseball and softball fields, lacrosse fields, and a fishing area. A passive area located on the west side of the park includes pavilions, picnic grills, horseshoes, and a nature trail. Currently, Central Winds Park is utilized for its fishing opportunities, and water sport enthusiasts can hope to see future development of the lakefront area for boating and canoeing as well- once the quality of Lal<e Jesup improves from clean-up efforts. Wildlife known to inhabit the lakefront area ~eincludes American alligators and bald eagles, which can be observed from the park. In addition, Bear Creek Nature Trail, which parallels Bear Creek, provides a pleasant i~=r srr:r-itrhiking trail which utilizes the creek and the natural r~z vegetation for - ; ;passive public recreation As well as the nature trail, this park ~_ , _ :-r,~is a popular r,~~picnicking location for Winter Springs' residents.- Cross- Seminole Trail, a heavily used trail is discussed in further detail in the Recreation and Open Space Element. This 6-mile link of the regional trail network extends from Layer Elementary School to the Oviedo City Limits and connects many of the City's parks and schools with the Winter Springs Town Center and the regional trail network. The City , - , - - , . _ - has numerous -parks and recreational areas which are detailed in the Recreation and Open Space Element_ V-32 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN c. Conservation CONSERVATION ELEMENT Conservation uses are defined by the Department of Community Affairs as being "activities or conditions within land areas designated for the purpose of conserving or protecting natural resources or environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, flood plain management, commercially or recreationally valuable fish and shellfish, or protection of vegetative communities or wildlife habitats." Lake Jesup is one area, in particular, that should be preserved from the damaging effects of urbanization. Lal<e Jesup is a hydrolo _ iq tally complex system with a large urbanized watershed. Not only does the land surrounding Lal<e Jesup provide public recreational opportunities, but the marshes that area part of those lands help to maintain animal habitat, improve water quality, and also allow for the storage of large volumes of water during rainy periods, thus providing flood protection for surrounding communities. However, decades of wastewater effluent discharges directly into the lake, stormwater discharges from surrounding tributaries, the construction of berms that segregated the lake from parts of its flood_plain, and a causeway that reduced the lake's connection with the St. Johns River have all taken a toll on the sensitive ecosystem. The discharges have left a legacy of algae, frequent fish kills, and a thick layer of muck more than 9 1 ~2 feet deep. The berm constructions further aggravated the problem by inhibiting the lake's ability to cleanse itself. , a - ~.,.. ~'' e~x , ~ _ .. <. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEPI. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). and St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) have worked together and endorsed implementation of strategies to address the excessive external nutrient loading and in-lake nutrient concentration components. The 2008 Lake Jesup Interagency Restoration Strategy outlines a strategy designed to meet restoration goals, provides a timetable for implementation, specifies agency responsibilities, and identifies specific restoration milestones to be used to tripper implementation of additional work as necessary. This seven step strategy outlined in the document is divided into two phases and includes: V-33 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Phase 1 CONSERVATION ELEMENT 1 . Develop the Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP). 2. Reduce external nutrient loads 3. Reduce nutrients in the lake water column Phase 2, implemented as necessary 4. Implement projects to further improve water clarity 5. Implement projects to increase native vegetation and control exotic species 6. Implement projects to establish healthy fish and wildlife habitat and populations Throughout the Restoration Process 7. Monitor water quality Phase 1 activities are required and will be coordinated by FDEP and SJRWMD staff. Phase 2 activities will be implemented as needed based on Phase 1 outcomes. Monitoring is planned to occur throughout the process to evaluate specific projects and the overall success of the restoration strategy. The Restoration Strategy aims to enhance Lake Jesup to meet Class III water quality standards and support healthy, fish and wildlife habitats and populations. Source: The Lal<e Jesup Interaaency Restoration Strategy report from January 2008 d. Protection of Ground Water The City - draws its public supply of water from the =rrFloridan aquifer. The City's most effective aquifer recharge areas are generally high, dry uplands with permeable soils and poor surface drainage;. These are areas that are typically well suited for land development. Within the Winter Springs area, them Floridan aquifer receives moderate recharge in the central portion of the City and considerably higher recharge in the southwest portion of the City. As the upper zone is recharged, some leakage occurs, replenishing the lower zone as well. _'~A map detailing the areas of greatest recharge is included in the Aquifer Recharge Element. Great care should be taken to protect areas of groundwater recharge since development can compromise water quality. The City has three interconnected water treatment plants and }ei~ public water wells, which supply the entire City. The potential for hazardous waste or pollutant contamination of the wells is greatly reduced by the fact that they are located within residential areas. To ensure that wellheads are exempt from contamination;,, the City adheres to all FDEP standards pertaining to wellhead protection. At the present, the City is not aware of any risk of contamination from hazardous waste or other groundwater pollutants. V-34 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT 12. Potential for Conservation, Use or Protection of Natural Resources a. Conservation "~~The wetlands, surface water, ground water, and ~~other natural resources which have been detailed within this Element; are all worthy of being conserved. The future existence and integrity of these resources depends on the actions we, as citizens, take today. To assist in the conservation of natural resources, the City's Code of Ordinances should more strictly govern development. Specifically, wetlands should be protected through mitigation and transfers of density within a site from wetland areas to upland areas and, surface waters should be protected through drainage enhancements as identified within the Drainage Sub-Element of this Plan. An estimated 25 percent of the potable water supply is used for irrigation purposes, Realizing this the City c operates a reuse water reclamation system with ~}E}1 ,720 residential customers, done golf rscourse, the ~tCity's parks, and public rights of way. Voluntary residential and commercial water conservation will be achieved through the City's participation in water conservation efforts of the St. Johns River Water Management District. These efforts include brochures kept in the City's public building, notices on ~~water k~bills, and expansion of the reclaimed water system. The City's Code of Ordinances will require the installation of water-saving plumbing devices including low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucets within new developments. b. Use The uses of natural resources, whether for commercial or recreational purposes have been discussed previously within this Element. The Code of Ordinances should determine the extent to which natural resources may be used. c. Protection Protection of existing natural resources _- . ~ - is important. Three areas or resources merit special protection. These three areas include: • Wellhead fields, • 1 00_ year flood_plain, and • Wetlands. Wellhead fields should be protected to ensure that the potable water supply for the City is protected from contamination. As mentioned previously, the City adheres to wellhead protection provisions administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Map I-6 in the Future Land Use Element depicts the location of wellhead protection areas. The 100-year flood_plain needs to be protected to help mitigate the damaging effects of flooding. Protection of these areas is assisted through the National Flood Insurance Program and 1~t1The City's Code of Ordinances. Wetlands protection has become an important issue to Florida residents. The protection of wetlands helps to ensure that Florida ground and surface waters V-35 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT remain environmentally intact, as well as preserving habitat for numerous species dependent on wetlands to survive. <. Winter Springs requires a 25' minimum upland buffer. These three natural resources are by no means the only ones to be protected. Development within areas determined to be ecologically sensitive requires additional analysis reports to be filed by the developer so that City staff can ascertain the significance of the proposed impact. 13. Water Needs a. Potable Water Sources The City ~ - ~., receives its potable water supply from the Floridan aquifer, within the Middle St. Johns (MSJ) groundwater basin. The natural quality of groundwater in this basin varies greatly depending on the location and the depth from which water is obtained. A major concern in this basin is saltwater intrusion in Seminole County. Although the County is located inland from sea, there are some patches of connate saltwater in the Floridan aquifer. The potable water in the aquifer is underlain by denser saline water. The potential exists for this saline water to migrate upward within the aquifer system in response to declines in the potentiometric surface. However, Winter Springs is located outside the areas in Seminole County that have chloride and sulfate concentrations of equal or greater than 250 mg~l. The FDEP has set a recommended limit of 250mg~1 of chloride and sulfate for public water supplies. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Floridan aquifer underlying Winter Springs is of good water quality. Consequently, only aeration and chlorination treatment are required to provide the City with potable water. The City's water system consists of three water treatment plants, which serve approximately X412,500 equivalent connections. Water is supplied to the three plants by }eight potable water wells and the entire system is permitted to ---~Ttreat a maximum of 1 2 million gallons per day. b. Potable Water Demand Future water demand based on population projections is included within the Potable Water Sub-Element. c. Reclaimed Water Demand Future demand for reclaimed water and plans to expand the City's reclaimed water program is included within the Potable Water Sub-Element. V-36 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENT mod. Agricultural Water Demand Agricultural land uses within the City - - . - ~, are minimal. Agricultural operations that utilize the City's potable water facilities are nonexistent, as are agricultural users that employ water from surface waters or from wells that require SJRWMD consumptive use permits. Due to the increasingly urbanized nature of Winter Springs, the City's c_.~..-_. i= -=' - - - . _ _a:._ .~_.. ~.-: _ .ice..-_i i _._ =' - - '.__ Land Use Map - 2030 does not include an agricultural future land use designation. Vie. Industrial Water Demand Industrial water demand, including reclaimed uses, has been expressed within the Potable Water Sub-Element of this Comprehensive Plan.

The quality of life for Winter Springs' residents is linked closely to the development and management of awell-maintained, accessible system of public parks, trails and open space. The City is well known for its award-winning Central Winds Park and the quality of recreational programs and events offered there. Such facilities play a key role in shaping both the landscape and the quality of life of Winter Springs' residents through the conservation of natural resources and provision of recreational facilities. It is the intent of the City to provide an appropriate balance of both active and passive recreation for the community The quality of life for residents of Winter Springs is not only linked to the availability of a well- maintained system of public park and recreation facilities, but also to the quality of the natural resources they contain. Privately managed parks, open space and facilities provide additional components of the open space and recreational system serving City residents. As additional parks are developed, consideration for the balance between conservation issues and the provision of active recreation becomes an important ingredient in the park development process. The City's lead office in charge of , - ;parks and recreational programs is the Parks and Recreation Department. The purpose of this ~~data is to identify existing and planned open space and recreation facilities, ~-~`<rreview Le~Tel of Sei-~-ice (LOS) standards for _ -these facilities, and analyze current and projected park and recreational needs .. . _ - .. ,. -which support the Recreation and Open Space Element. The Element includes specific goals, objectives, and policies to guide the provision of recreation and open space facilities through the year ?$?-E~2030. EC. INVENTORY OF EXISTING RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES Parks conserve open space and natural resources and provide recreation opportunities. In general, parks are categorized as being either activity-based or resource-based. Activity-based parks provide user-oriented, recreation facilities designed for a specific purpose such as tennis, basketball, softball or soccer, while resource-based parks utilize the natural environment to provide more passive activities such as picnicking, hiking, fishing, swimming, or boating. The City = ~ provides a wide range of recreation opportunities to its residents. The City's park inventory includes numerous .- `,~' " parks and recreational facilities where citizens can enjoy both active and passive forms of recreation.

Community Parks Community parks are defined as "ride to" parks that should be located near major streets or arterials. Community parks are designed to serve the needs of four to six neighborhoods that have residents within a radius of up to three (3) miles.

Most Count parks are considered community parks, but those that host national competitions and tournaments can easily be classified as regional parks. Central Winds Park, __~ located on Lake Jesup, for instance, has been classified as a community park, due to its geographic area - "wand the type of recreational facilities and activities offered. However, numerous civic festivals and special events are held in the park, drawing citizens from all over Seminole County and the Central Florida area. For this reason, Central Winds Park has been locally considered a regional park. This park offers competition quality baseball, softball, and soccer fields, which are reserved for league-play only, as well as basketball courts, volleyball courts, horseshoes, playground, concession stand, the City's Parl<s & Recreation Office, and restrooms. Additionally, a passive area located on the west side includes a fishing area, pavilions, picnic grills, and an amphitheatre. A recent expansion to the park added additional baseball, softball, and soccer/football fields, as well as lacrosse fields and a dog park with large dog, small dog and training areas. Together, the Central Winds Park and the expansion total 98.5 acres. VI-18 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT c.

Open Space VI - 20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT The term "open space" is widely used with a variety of meanings. However, its meaning herein (and throughout the Comprehensive Plan) is taken from Rule 9J-5 Florida Administrative Code and simply means, "undeveloped lands suitable for passive recreation or conservation." Open space does not refer to land found in medians, buffers, or retention areas. In Winter Springs, most of the publicly-owned open space was conveyed to the City at the time of subdivision platting, as "parks" or "parkland". However, most of these areas are composed of undevelopable wetlands, such as the 69.5-acre Tuscawilla Open Space donation. Winding Hollow subdivision also includes a large 55-acre open space with only .5-acre in addition, available for active recreation. Not all open space or conservation areas within Winter Springs are owned by the City. Many are privately owned. However, only City-owned open space is inventoried within this Element and included on Table VI-2 (with one exception- the Hickory Grove Park in the Town Center is included, but it is owned by the State Office of Greenways and Trails). a. Urban Plazas and Squares "Urban plazas" or "squares" are small urban pocket parks which vary in size from 1 /10-acre to several acres depending on their intended use. Their primarx function is to intersperse congested urban environments with aesthetically pleasing, areas for people to gather as groups or to sit individually. These plazas and squares may contain benches and tables, commemorative structures, fountains, and landscaping. Within the Town Center, numerous urban plazas and squares are planned. Several have been completed and include: Blumberg Blvd., Market Square, and a portion of Magnolia Square. Blumberg Blvd. also includes the recently completed Veteran's Memorial, located at Tuskawilla Rd. and Blumberg Blvd. Most of these urban plazas and squares will serve as mini-parks. However, in some cases (such as Blumberg Blvd. and the Veteran's Memorial), these facilities serve as community parks because of the activities offered there and the significance of the facilities.

EXISTING AND FUTURE PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS Recreational demands do not remain constant over time..~t, but grow with population p p g p ~r.:~.....,~.._._, g increases and change as o ulation demo ra hics~. i-~ Chan e. Attitudes and opinions can be drastically altered from a shift in the demographic makeup of a community. Therefore, it is necessary to assess recreational needs and future demands for facilities in order to plan for the future. Population Trends and User Needs The City's ~ :' population is projected to increase by over ~--E10,000 residents ~~~ ~',~ ~,~~_-~'~--~ ~'~~~-~~~'~~;by 2030. According to the ~~~~~~nU_S. Census, the median age 1-rt-increased ~~, `'~ ':~;` ' ~.~' from 34 to 37s from 1990 to 2000, and the percentage of persons aged 65 or older {increased from 9.2% :., , ~~~ __. , ~ , o ~}~to 10.8% over the same time period. The projected median age (US Census). increased to 40 by 2007. This trend is expected to continue through the long-term planning period. The City is well prepared to serve an aging~opulation. During 2007, the City completed a 9,200 square foot expansion of the Senior Center which added a new therapy pool along with a large multi-purpose room. ~ arc ~rrl~However, the City should continue to add - - < ~ ~, - <, . - ,. recreational facilities and programs which address the changing demographics of the City, while continuing to support a wide variety of programs to serve all of its residents. To accurately reflect changes in public demand, tools are needed to identify them. One method is to survey the citizens for their input. The City has conducted several informal surveys, many of which have not been documented. ~~tA City - ~"~~,~;~~ ~ ~, ' .~ _,- `'_, _ ~~_ _~~'_,-wide survey was conducted in ~rrk=~~1990 It questioned residents about the recreational activities they practiced on a regular basis. The results showed that, at that time, residents wanted more playgrounds, baseball fields, swimming pools, bike paths, and tennis courts. Since that time, the City has added _ ~ . - r,.'_ _'__- _`~~~~; :~ _-~~--tee ~ .- ~ ~ ~ ~ :. numerous playgrounds and baseball fields, and the State has added the Cross Seminole Trail. This type of survey should be conducted regularly on a five-year basis to maintain consistency and to monitor progress and changing demands. An opinion survey of registered voters was completed in 2004, to explore interest and support for a multi-purpose athletic facility and an aquatic center. The support was greatest for the multi-purpose athletic center with 44 percent of those surveyed in support of such a facility even if it increased property taxes, 21 percent opposed and 35 percent requiring more information. Support dropped VI - 30 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT slightly 140 percent) and opposition increased (32 percent) for an aquatic center. Support fell further (36 percent) to a level nearly equal with opposition (35 percent) when respondents were asked if they would support both facilities with a combined tax increase necessary to support both facilities. 2. Outdoor Recreation Planning Guidelines Three types of guidelines are commonly used in outdoor recreation planning according to Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (2007). The first type, use Guidelines, are employed as a means of stating the amount of use a resource or facilitx can accommodate under certain conditions. The second type, population guidelines, are used in determining the amount of resources and facilities that are required to serve a given population. The third type, site guidelines, are used primarily for estimating acreage needs for local parks and recreation areas and open space. Many variations exist in outdoor recreation environments. Therefore, each jurisdiction must determine for its planning~urposes how these guidelines will best serve their interests and in most cases develop their own guidelines. The use guidelines for user-oriented outdoor recreation activities included herein were derived from the 1989 Recreation Standards for Comprehensive Planning in Florida. The study examined what was considered the minimum, moderate and maximum levels of use that facilities could sustain under various conditions according to over 100 local recreation providers. Table VI-4 identifies the median value of the survey results for nine user- oriented facilities for which information on use was collected.

Generally, population guidelines make no distinction between the varying requirements of different segments of the population, but are used to assess community recreational needs by determining the minimum number of resources and facilities required to serve the local VI-31 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT population. When used in concert with facility use guidelines and park open space site Guidelines, population Guidelines can prove a useful tool in outdoor recreation planninc1 Table VI-5 identifies population Guidelines for user-oriented recreational activities. ~," ~~~,, -~` : ~ ,~.,._,a„.,a, . ~,e-Site Guidelines are a set of General criteria for determining the specific types and amounts of ~}4par1< lands necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of local communities. The criteria define the acreage, facility type; and service area requirements for various types of community recreation sites and areas. - - , - , - They are most commonly used as a means of expressing outdoor recreation needs, based on population guidelines. The site Guidelines described in Table VI-6 are Graphically applied to the City and depicted on Map VI-5. The areas not served by existing~arl<s primarily are parts of the City having larger lot sizes in some cases, are areas still to be developed, such as the Greeneway Interchange District. -, ~ ~ - Levels of Service (LOS) Standards Level of Service (LOS) standards are a measure for determining the specific types and amounts or acreage of parkland necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of a local jurisdiction. Winter Springs has historically defined its LOS based on acreage per 1000 residents. To better reflect the GrowinG needs of the City for parkland, and in support of the desire for increased Greenspace as further discussed under the major issue of "Population, Density and Greenspace" (2008 Evaluation and AL?praisal Report), Winter Springs will increase the Overall Parkland LOS acreage from 5 acres per 1 ,000 residents to 8 acres per 1 ,000 residents. Additionally, a LOS for Open Space has been implemented. This LOS has been set at 4 acres per 1 ,000 residents to encourage the provision of public open space in Winter Springs. Table VI-1 illustrates the existing park and open space acreage through 2030. based on LOS standards. 3.

All of the City parks provide parking for persons with disabilities and most provide paved paths and pavilions that are wheelchair accessible. Special considerations will need to be addressed on a site-by-site basis, for deficiencies in the special access needs of these groups. For example, while people with disabilities are provided parking areas at most of the parks, and wheelchair accessibility is provided in many, internal access to facilities is still limited in a few of the City's parks. , ~-_ .. .~'~_ Consideration to these access issues will need to be given at the time of new park development. According to the ADA, an important aspect of accessibility to be considered when constructing new parks or altering existing parks, is the issue of stable ground surfacing, which allows a person with mobility impairment to negotiate with dignity. For example, a large area of loose fill such as sand or wood chips is not easily accessible. Rather, a design following ADA guidelines might use a combination of more rigid surfaces such as an engineered wood fiber, rubber surfaces along accessible routes, clear ground spaces, and maneuvering spaces, in conjunction with small areas of loose fill. VI - 43 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Per ADA standards, consideration should be given to the general layout of youth play areas, particularly to the integration of elements and spaces that can be accessed by children who are "- "disabled. Specifically, in areas where elevated play components are provided, additional ground level play equipment must be provided and incorporated into the same play areas. Additionally, the ADA requires that at least 50% of elevated play components must be located on an accessible route and connected by a ramp. The inclusion of soft contained play structures would also provide recreational opportunities for children with disabilities. The existing system of neighborhood and passive parks affords access to cyclists and pedestrians, as the parks are numerous and dispersed in residential areas throughout the City. Bicycle path facilities should continue to be designed so as to join recreational areas together with residential areas to upgrade the accessibility for all citizens to recreation areas. Access issues will be addressed specifically within the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Element. 4. Meeting Future Recreation and Open Space Needs As illustrated on Table VI-1 , the City does not expect to have any Overall Parkland deficiencies through 2030. The addition of Seminole County's planned Jetta Point Park (37 acres in Winter Springs) will further increase the surplus of Overall Parkland. A slight deficiency is projected in Open Space. However, with the conveyance of Wetland Park in the Town Center, this deficiency will be eliminated. An important action needed by the City in the immediate future is the planning of a City trail system to interconnect with the Cross Seminole Trail. The City currently owns a portion of FP&L easement which could be the beginnings of this network. In order to accomplish this, several policies relating to trails have been added to the element, as well as a new objective in support of this effort. 5. Public Participation in Recreation Planning The City has provided numerous opportunities for citizen input into the recreational planning of the City. The Parks and Recreation Department has held a number of public meetings, during which time, citizens were able to contribute their ideas and make requests for future recreational opportunities. ~~ '~ _~~ ' ~'~~~-- ~'~ ~~~*-_ ___:n i,.. ,_,..,,a,,,_~:..y <~ ' `.~~' ~ :~ - An ad hoc advisory committee helped develop the Central Winds Expansion Master Plan. For improvements at Trotwood, neighborhoods were notified and input was requested door to door. Similar outreach has been conducted for Torcaso Parl<, with a Master Plan process initiated in September 2008. As noted above, the City will continue to conduct periodic surveys to identify future activity-based recreational preferences. That survey will need to identify not only preferences in terms of fields and courts, but also whether City residents would be willing to pay user fees for improved amenities, etc. VI - 44 v C~ Z Z ~ Q ~ J W W _~ Z N _ Z 3 = ~ W ~ O H U U CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT TRACT SIZE TRACT SIZE O D.45 AG Q D.rs Ac (~2 0.44 AG ~ 0.85 AC O3 Omitted 10 2.26 AC 0.42 AC 11 0.62 AC O 0.44 AC 12 0.30 AC 0.74 AG Q 0.70 AC ~7 0.79 AG 18 WETLANDS PARK 19.5 AC WETLANDS ~ O 3.86 AC UPLANDS ~ r ~ 1 ~~ ~ ~~'~. it `''` ` y7F-. ~ ii ~ // s 7) Paved A y 7 //~~ ~ 1 ~ / R \' ~~I •/+V7uoo a rao~4-a*~F~~~ ~ /1 ~ ~ /, ~ ~ ~~. \\ ~ // ~ f.~~ 1 ~. ~ / ~~ 1 ~( ~ ~ ~i . ~. \ ~ ! ~~, ~. ~~ ~ ~. 1 `\ pave i i roll, ~L.~L..s t-Paved Trall ~~ ~ '`~ 7 1fBT[AND9 PARR ~I L.~- 1 ~ Edgn Dri Spine Road (Collector) ~ ~ r f1 ; 1 Entire Map Struck ~ .v. ~~` -1 f nll i ~~ ,~~ ,, ~ r ,'© ~rf .\ r5 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ , ~ ~ . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~. ~a,~ ~,~r \ ~' / ~ ~ RET.

The City - ~, shall cooperate with the Seminole County School Board (School Board) in their efforts to correct existing deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted level of service standards and appropriate public school facility service area boundaries. The level of service standard is a countywide standard,, specified in the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency As Amended January 2008- (2007 ILA), wherein the following terms are used: Permanent Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH):- meaning the permanent facilities within the inventory of land, buildings and rooms in public educational facilities used by the Florida Department of Education, Office of Educational Facilities; and Concurrency Service Area (CSA): A geographic unit promulgated by the School Board and adopted by local governments within which the level of service is measured when an application for residential development is reviewed for school Concurrency purposes. The CSA coincides with groupings of school attendance zones within each school type based on adjacency. Level of Service (LOS) Standard- meaning a standard established to measure utilization of capacity within a ~-rN~~~~~-r,~ !T~~TCSA. [Current LOS within a CSA is determined by dividing the full-time equivalent student count (FTE) for the Fall Semester at the same type of schools by the permanent FISH capacity of the same type of schools.

VII - 1 2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT B_INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to support the timely provision of the Seminole County School Board (School Board)'s constitutional and statutory obligation and sovereignty to provide a uniform system of free public schools on a countywide basis. It is not the intent to require the School Board to confer with, or obtain the consent of, the City, as to whether that obligation has been satisfied. Additionally, this Element is not intended to be construed to impose any duty or obligation on the City for the School Board's constitutional or statutory obligations. The City rr~ - - ~, does not have the authority to directly provide school facilities, but is required by State Law to work with the ~ ~"~~~ ' ': ~~~~-- School Board to address the coordination of public school facility planning with land use planning and development approvals. The City _ ~-continues to be responsible for approving or denying comprehensive plan amendments and development approvals within its own jurisdiction, and nothing herein represents or authorizes a transfer of any of this authority to the School Board. Legislation enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature mandated a comprehensive approach to school planning by revising laws that govern both school districts and local government planning. A coordinated effort was undertaken by the local jurisdictions of Seminole County and the °"~~, ' ': _ ~~"`-- School Board. Preparation of a new Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency including procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals and school planning was the first step in this process and was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, City Commissions, and the ` ~~,~~, ' ': ~~~,~-- School Board in 2007 and ~4amended in January 2008. The 2005 Legislation also included adoption of a Public School Facilities Element,, consistent with those adopted by the other local governments within the County and consistent with the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency As Amended January 2008 (2007 ILA), Ssections 163.3177(1 2J and 163.3180 F.S. and Rule 9J-5.025, F.A.C. and which describes aproportionate-share mitigation methodology. Additional amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan required by the 2005 legislation include: • Adoption of the Level of Service L( OSLstandards applicable countywide that establish maximum permitted school utilization rates relative to capacity into the Capital Improvements Element; • Adoption of the financially feasible Public School Capital Facilities Program addressing school capacity improvements into the Capital Improvements Element that is adopted as part of the `' ~"~~, ' ~: -~~,`-- School Board's overall Capital Improvements Program; • Amendments to revise objectives and policies that address the City's process of coordination with the School Board in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element.

Identifying Sites for Future School Facilities The 2007 ILA _provides a process for identifying future school sites. The process includes, at a minimum, semi-annual meetings of the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) that can be used to coordinate land use and school facility planning. The next step in that process is a committee created by the 2007 ILA~~~•„~er ~98~, the Public Schools Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC). The PSFPC has several responsibilities, including review of PTAC findings and submittal of recommendations to the School Board. In order to ensure that the redevelopment and revitalization of older portions of unincorporated Seminole County can continue, the issue of sites will continually need to be addressed as part of the ongoing cooperative planning effort specified by the 2007 ILA 2. Population and Student Projections In accordance with the 2007 ILA the City and the School Board will share population projections and projections of student enrollment for use in their planning efforts. The 2007 ILA specifies that the parties will use student enrollment projections provided by the School Board. However, the source of student enrollment projections is based on the Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) cohort projections issued by the Department of Education in July of each year. These COFTE projections are related to past enrollment trends and do not consider such factors as reduced land availability for future growth and development. As the City -~ `~-"~~ grows closer to reaching build-out, these projections will become less reliable. 3. Proportionate Share Mitigation Efforts and Alternative Mechanisms for Ensuring School Capacity The 2007 ILA outlined the process by which the School Board may entertain proportionate share mitigation options. Proportionate share mitigation allows a developer to pay that portion of the cost of providing capacity in a school facility that is necessary to serve that particular development or redevelopment project. The methodology for calculating a developer's proportionate share as specified in the 2007 ILA is included in this Element and will be added to the City's Land Development Regulations as part of the Concurrency Management System. Mitigation options offer a variety of alternatives, including construction of a charter school by the developer. VII - 29 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT If a mitigation proposal fails, the 2007 ILA offers an appeal process specified by Chapter 120, Florida Statutes (F. S.) as an alternative. Another allowable alternative mechanism for mitigation impacts on schools is the establishment of an Educational Facilities Benefit District as allowed by Section 1013.355, F.S. This option permits school districts and local governments to enter into separate ~interlocal ~4agreements to arrange for financing a school to allow redevelopment, revitalization or other development efforts, when property owners involved agree to this special assessment. Osceola County adopted an ordinance creating such a District in 2003. Should redevelopment and revitalization efforts in the City be unable to proceed, even with proportionate share mitigation, further examination of the use of an Educational Facilities Benefit District may be needed.

INTRODUCTION INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT The Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act requires ~k:-rt-local comprehensive plans to be consistent with the goals of the estate and ,.regional policy plans. Local governments need to provide for this consistency in the goals, objectives, and policies of their comprehensive plans. The - _ - .'City's interpretation of the legislative intent of the consistency requirement is to provide for all comprehensive plans, adopted locally, to coordinate into a statewide framework for "growth management." One tool that the Act mandated to meet this legislative intent was for -tl~local comprehensive plans to adopt an Intergovernmental Coordination Element_ In order to provide for this consistency, coordination among ~:ttrstate, regional, and local governments and agencies is essential._ This coordination provides not only the method for the plans to be consistent, but also allows for more efficient delivery of services to the City residents. Mechanisms to meet this consistency requirement include, but are not limited to: • Intergovernmental agreements; • Joint planning and service agreements; • Special legislation; •_Joint meetings, public hearings; and, •_Work groups or governmental programs designed to further intergovernmental coordination. In addition, ~kr-this Element can act as a catalyst for the smooth operation of the rest of the plan elements. By defining and creating tests of consistency within~~zthis Element, deficiencies within and among elements can be identified for the purpose of correcting them. ~_ . r._~....,_.___ ...._.__.._~.,i ~_._.-... ~:._ .~:._.,This Element can also be used as a mechanism to provide direction to the City for future implementation of °~~federal, state, and regional programs, grants and assistance. Numerous government programs exist which can be used by the City in the implementation of - -,'the City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, these programs can be used to meet the growing demands of the population growth on the City's services and public infrastructure~~T~_ ~- ~_•~- ~~~ ~~~_ ~~~~~~- r ,.__~ r_ ,._. ~i_.._._.._~, ~, ~C. INVENTORY OF EXISTING INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS 1. Local The City _ - has ..used intergovernmental cooperation to further its coordination efforts with the following local agencies: a. Seminole County School Board (School Board) _ ~ . ~ '_; Historically, Chapter 163 Florida Statutes (F.S.), the law governing local comprehensive planning, did not include school facility planning. Seminole County, the School Board,, and the cities initiated major efforts toward achieving X41-VIII - 9 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT coordination of land use and school facility planning with the adoption of an Interlocal Agreement in 1997. The Agreement created a framework for notification of proposed land use actions and a staff working committee called the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC). By 1999, in accordance with amendments to State Law, the County and cities had revised the Land Use Elements of their comprehensive plans to specify which land use designations allowed public schools as possible uses, and further refined processes to notify the School District and request comments on potential land development. Seminole County and the cities within the County recognize the benefits of providing adequate public school facilities to their citizens and students in a timely manner. Because of the importance of the school system to the future of Seminole County, coordinated school planning among the County, the School ~-r~r-r~Board and the seven cities continues to be understood as critical to ensure that public school capacity needs are met. To further the goal of coordination, the ~(~~~School Board, the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners and governing bodies of seven cities adopted _ _ , . - _ the 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School concurrency As Amended January 2008f (2007 ILA) that addressed coordination of public school facility and comprehensive land use plannincl The County and cities also each adopted a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) pinto their respective comprehensive plans. The PSFEs are compatible, establish countywide Levels of Service (LOS), and identify procedures for the district-wide school concurrency management process. The process for developing both the 2007 Tit"~~~nILA and the PSFEs involved the ~ _ , _ - _ PTAC~t which included ~ staff representing each of the signatoriesT ~', T._~...-i..._.,i _`r_ During 2006 and 2007, the PTAC developed recommendations for coordination of land use and school facilities planning as the basis for the 2007 1._~..._i,.._a ~,_._. ,..___._~ ILA. The PTAC also reviewed drafts of a model PSFE for use - ;~ - by all involved. As directed by the 2007 ~;;; _~-'_ _<~'_ _`_~-_ _~"_~,~ILA, PTAC will meet a minimum of twice annually to discuss population and student projections, development trends, school needs, co-location and joint use opportunities, infrastructure improvements needed to support schools and safe student access, the School Board Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and school concurrency processes. The shared use and co-location opportunities identified in the 2007 ILA include park and recreational facilities, libraries, community centers, auditoriums, performing art centers, stadiums, learning centers, museums and governmental facilities. In addition to the PTAC, the 2007 ?"` ~~' ~.~' _` ~~~ '~ "`ILA created the Public School Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC), which will review the recommendations of PTAC and present recommendations to the School Board. This committee will serve as a standing committee to review the School Board Capital Improvement Plan, and will meet jointly with the School Board annually. The ~-F-V I I I - 10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT membership of this committee will include elected officials or their designees, and will further the process of ensuring coordination of land use and school facility planning. Amendments to Section 163.3180, Florida Statutes (F.S.) enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature mandated a comprehensive focus on school planning and required local governments and school boards to adopt district-wide school concurrency systems. School concurrency ensures coordination between local governments and school boards in planning and permitting developments that affect school capacity and utilization rates. b. Seminole County The City ~ - ~: and Seminole County have several existing interlocal mechanisms to provide for efficient delivery of services to the citizens of the City and County. These mechanisms are: • tThe Intergovernmental Planning Coordination Agreement {{l~j-~k ~~of 1997 provides for City representation on the ~i-rr z.,.-'_._:._„' _` ~'--~; ~_~-_- (~~PTAC} and for notification of land use changes adjacent to County and~or City boundaries, including other municipalities within Seminole County. The intent of the agreement is to provide for City input into the standards for development and land use changes that will impact City services, land use, and quality of life. • 91 1 Emergency System provides for an interlocal agreement with the City to participate in the County 91 1 emergency system. This resolution also provides for the County to assign addresses for a consistent addressing system within the City and County. • Agreement for the distribution of local option gas tax revenues. • Seminole County Service-Annexation Interlocal Agreement of 1987- An interlocal agreement (1987) with Seminole County for the provision of essential governmental services by the City in enclave areas. • An interlocal agreement for the provision of reciprocal emergency service responses. • An interlocal agreement for the consolidation of the Winter Springs and Seminole County Fire Departments under the authority of Seminole County. • An interlocal agreement for the collection and distribution of transportation impact fees and other transportation related issues. • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Pursuant to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) application, the County shall undertake certain activities to develop a viable community, including an improved quality of life, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The City shall provide professional ~F-VIII - 1 1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT construction administration services for infrastructure improvements within ~- - ,the City to benefit low and moderate income residents. • An agreement to participate in the U.S. ~~17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (17-92 CRA). Thet~. LET 17-92 CRA establishes a tax increment finance district to fund redevelopment projects along the County's major north south arterial. Portions of the l~arterial and taxable properties are within the City limits ~= • An interlocal agreement for the regional coordination of water supply planning between the local governments within Seminole Count c. Other Local Agencies Several agencies exist in Seminole County that provide services and support to the citizens of the City ~- - ~.., These agencies are: Economic Development Council (EDC) - The t1EDC is a nonprofit organization that was created to enhance, support, and promote economic development within Central Florida and Seminole County. • Tourist Development Council (TDC) - T~The TDC acts to promote Seminole County as a tourist destination._ The Council is funded by a ~k~refive percent (_'0 5~. "tourist" tax on hotel motel rooms in the County. This amount was recently increased. Two percent (2%) of these monies has been allocated for the development of Jetta Point County Park. No monies are received from local governments._ The City is able to receive funding from this Council to provide for tourist related activities and infrastructure ~ _ ~- ~ ~~~-~; ~; --~: ~~~~,~which increase hotel/motel usage in Seminole County ~ ~~ ~ - - Funding requests are approved bx the Seminole County Board of Commissioners. ~~LYNX, the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority's mass transit bus service, -_ _ .operates two routes adjacent to the Cites These include a route with service along the U.S. ~-~17-92 rrx~> :.corridor and a route serving Oviedo Marketplace. There is no interlocal service agreement with this agency and the City does not currently contribute to LYNX bus service-; there is an interlocal agreement between LYNX and Seminole County addressing fixed route bus and ADA paratransit service within the County. Anew east-west route connecting from Oviedo Marketplace to northwest Orlando following S.R. 434 through the City is scheduled to begin as a demonstration project in 2009. The Department of Children and Families provides a number of services, including the licensing of group homes, child care, foster care services, and mental health and substance abuse counseling and services and the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities also provides licensing for group homes for handicapped persons. ~4i-VIII - 1 2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT • The Seminole County Health Department regulates and monitors the following: on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems, public swimming, pools, drinking water, institutional food service, body piercing, biomedical waste, tanninq_group care facilities, mobile home and recreational vehicle parks, sanitary nuisances, restaurant sanitation, and arbovirus surveillance (sentinel chickens). The Health Department also works with the Center for Disease Control through its public health programs. • The Seminole County Animal Services addresses stray and nuisance animal complaints within the City as well as in unincorporated Seminole Count • The Seminole County Cooperative Extension Service provides family and consumer science, home horticulture, master gardener, and commercial agriculture assistance and services. They work closely with the University of Florida's IFAS extension. • The Seminole County Soil and Water Conservation District is involved in a number of environmental endeavors, including establishment of a fertilizer- reuse outreach campaign to reduce pollutant loading into surface waters in conjunction with the FDEP. 2.

This representation has growing importance in the future growth and coordination of the City in regional issues. As the Orlando Urban Area continues to expand, there is stronger influence from the resulting growth-_related pressures on the City - ~.,._ Regional growth will have a definite impact on the City's growth ~ - ~, ands its infrastructure and delivery of municipal services and will need to be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the City benefits from the regional resources provided by the St. John's River Water Management District. The mechanisms for coordination and input regarding these regional issues are as follows: a. East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPCI The ECFRPC is the regional planning agency responsible for the implementation of powers and dutiest pursuant to Chapter 186, F.S., for Seminole County and the City - ~;._ The ECFRPC, located in Maitland, Florida, also has regional planning jurisdiction in the Counties of Volusia, Orange, Lake, Osceola and Brevard. The ~~;-ECFRPC is the agency responsible for the development and implementation of the Regional Policy Plan. _The ECFRPC has the responsibility, pursuant to ~~Section 163.3184.

The purpose of the membership is to provide policy direction and manage regional policy issues to fulfill the ~~ . _ ', ECFRPCs powers and duties. b. METROPLAN ORLANDO METROPLAN ORLANDO is the metropolitan planning organization for Orange Osceola and Seminole Counties - the Orlando Urban Area. METROPLAN ORLANDO provides the forum for local elected officials and transportation experts to work together to improve mobility for Central Florida residents, businesses and visitors. METROPLAN ORLANDO produces a variety of plans and programs designed to guide the transportation planning process in Central Florida including a Long Range Transportation Plan and the Five-Year Transportation Improvement Pro__ rg am (TIP), as well as bicycle and pedestrian plans for the region. The City is represented in the activities of METROPLAN ORLANDO through participation in two committees, as follows: • The Mayor or his designee serves as a member of the METROPLAN ORLANDO Municipal Advisory Committee. The purpose of the committee is to provide a forum for incorporating the views of the mayors of the cities and towns that do not have representatives on the Board into the transportation policy development and decision-making process. Due to the limited number of seats on the METROPLAN ORLANDO Board, only the most populated cities in the three county area are represented on the Board. • One City staff member ~ - serves on the ~ r, ~~~ T'~.•~ '_`~-~,~~ ~ '~ METROPLAN ORLANDO Transportation Technical Committee. This committee reviews regional transportation plans and provides policy direction for transportation issues in Seminole, Orange, ~-F-V I I I - 14 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT and ~.tkeOsceola Counties. Using input from the Transportation Technical Committee, _ ~ -an urban area transportation study is developed, and - , subsequently the TIP} is developed and adopted. c. St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). Created in ~9-41972, the SJRWMD is responsible for flood control and water conservation in the St. Johns River region. The City - - ~ ~: is within the jurisdiction of the SJRWMD. This authority has regulatory control over all water based resources within its jurisdiction. The SJRWMD has the following responsibilities: •_Permitting of consumptive use of water; •_Regulation of wells; • Management and storage of surface water; and; •_Water storage. All new developments and utility services may be required to obtain a permit from the SJRWMD, prior to the issuance of a development order. Generally, a development is exempt from formal drainage review and permitting if the site meets the following criteria: •_Less than two (2) acres of impervious area, and; • Ten (10) acres or less of total area. The SJRWMD has a local office in Altamonte Springs that reviews development plans in Seminole County and may require plan modifications, prior to granting approval. The Public Works Department is the principal liaison in these reviews. The SJRWMD is also a primary reviewer of local comprehensive plan amendments and as such, conveys their comments to the Community Development Department- Planning Division. The City coordinates SJRWMD reaardina a variety of water resources-related issues, including wetlands permitting, stormwater management, Lal<e Jesup restoration, creation and maintenance of conservation areas, and regional projects. One regional stormwater prolect in the City is the Solary Canal prolect, located at the northeast corner of the City on the east side of DeLeon St. Solary Canal is a stormwater treatment facility that will consist of a wet detention pond and wetland treatment area. The project will intercept and treat stormwater from ~-F-V I I I - 15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT "Sweetwater Creek," which collects stormwater runoff primarily from properties within the City of Oviedo. Wafer Supply Planning and Coordination Subsection 1 63.3191 (2)(Ll. F.S. requires coordination between water supply planning and future land use planning in order to ensure an adequate supply of water to support future development. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the other cities within the County to develop a county-wide water supply plan (County Plan). The City's Water Supply Work Plan must be coordinated with the County Plan, as well as with the SJRWMD District Water Supply 2005 and 2006 Addendum and the ECFRPC Strategic Regional Policy Plan 1998. The County Plan was completed in 2007; the City's Water SuL?ply Work Plan was also updated in 2007. These plans identified a number of projects including a recommendation to proceed with the design of the Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation Project and to negotiate with adjacent cities to partner in the project. Information on the status of the City's design and development plans for the facility are presented in the Infrastructure Element. In addition, the City will participate in the joint planning process for the St. John's River Regional Surface Water Supply Plant at S.R. 46. 3. State State agencies such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; F( WCC)~ and the Department of Environmental Protection D( EP) are instrumental in helping the City meet the goals, objectives and policies of the City's Conservation, Recreation and Open Space, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Elements. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is the agency charged with the administration of the Comprehensive Plan and the determination of compliance of local plans with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). In addition, the DCA and the Department of Children and Families D( CF) can aid in the implementation of the City's Housing Element. The ~ DEP will monitor and approve all policies respective to the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element. The rDCA provides direction regarding the Future Land Use Element and the ability of the City's Comprehensive Plan to provide for an efficient and effective economic base for State and local growth.- The effectiveness of the City's Transportation Element will be affected greatly by the actions and policies of the Florida Department of Transportation- F( DOTS The actions of the gestate legislature will also impact the effectiveness of the City's Comprehensive Plan;i specifically, future funding needs of the State of Florida. Coordination and cooperation between the gestate and local governments is necessary to ensure public policy efficiency and to address the economic implications of public policy funding issues. ~'''_~_ `_-~~_'~~, - ~~:~-- Funding is extremely critical for smaller, rapidly growing --~- -- communities- especially in the current economic environment. In order for the City ~-F-V I I I - 16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT - ~. to effectively meet the requirements of Chapter 163, and other rstate- mandated policies, future estate funding resources will continue to be critical in providing a safe and livable community. a. Department of Community Affairs (DCA) - . _ - _ DCA} is the primary estate agency responsible for review of local comprehensive plans and land use map amendments. The Community Development Department -Planning Division is the principal liaison with DCA to ensure local compliance with the comprehensive planning statute (Chapter 163, F.S.) and administrative rule (9J-5, F.A.C.). ~~DCA also provides technical assistance and administers grant programs available to local governments. The agency provides assistance in the areas of housing, community development, resource planning and management, community services, land and water management, public safety, and emergency management preparedness and post-disaster recovery. In addition, - DCA is the 'estate agency responsible for coordination and review of Developments of Regional Impact. DCA administers the state's handicap accessibility regulations, set forth in Chapter 1 1 of the Florida Building Code. The Florida handicap accessibility requirements are typically more stringent than the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and super-cedes them in Florida. DCA also administers FEMA programs: when the President declares an emergency or a major disaster, federal assistance is authorized to the state, administered by DCA with its Division of Emergency Management (DEM) as the grantee. All applicants a~plyina for federal aid are sub-grantees. The DEM has the authority under the Federal declaration to act on behalf of all sub-grantees under the Federal program. DCA has signed agreements with most jurisdictions and the Building Officials Association of Florida (BOAF) regarding mutual aid in the event of a disaster or emergency for damage assessment and habitability inspections. This is coordinated with county emergency management. DCA administers energy efficiency provisions through the Florida Building Code, Chapter 13. b. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) FDOT is the primary State agency responsible for Florida's transportation system. FDOT has authority over, and is responsible for, the following ~t-~trstate highways and roads in the ~ • - :City: ^ QRS. R. 419 ^ S.R. 434; and; U.S. ~~ 17c~_92. ~-F-V I I I - 17 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT These roadways are displayed _ _' in the Transportation Element. FDOT has regulatory authority over the use of land within rights- of-way and surface water discharge into highway drainage systems. As such, FDOT regulates curb cuts, traffic signalization, tree and other landscape plantings and drainage flow onm~sFlorida's highway system. FDOT is also responsible for determining the functional classification of major roads within the City - - ~; and the surrounding area. The office responsible for local coordination is located in ~-1DeLand. FDOT is also a primary reviewer of local comprehensive plan amendments for their impacts to transportation, and as such, conveys their comments to the Community Development Department - Planning Division. Florida's Turnpike operates as a separate business unit of FDOT. Florida`s Turnpike is responsible for all operations on every FDOT-owned and operated toll road and bridge. This represents about 600 miles of roadway and 80 percent of all toll facilities in Florida. Florida's Turnpike operates the northern 17 miles of S.R. 417 as the "Seminole Expressway," beginning at the Seminole County line and extending north to its terminus at Interstate 4 in Sanford. Two segments of the Seminole Expressway are located in the City, with one segment north of the Winter Springs Blvd. overpass and another segment from the S.R 434 interchange to Lake Jesup. The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) operates the middle section of Toll 417, from Milepost 6 in Orange County to Milepost 37.5 at the Seminole County line. This section is known as the Central Florida GreeneWa~ The Turnpike also operates the southern end of Toll 417, from Milepost 1 at Interstate 4 to Milepost 6 in Orange County. This section of Toll 417 is known as the Southern Connector Extension, but it also referred to as the southern end of the Central Florida GreeneWay. Vic.

DHR is also a primary reviewer of local comprehensive plan amendments for their impact on historical and archaeological resources, and as such, conveys their comments to the Community Development Department -Planning Division. 4. Federal Although -F~=er~err)federal intergovernmental coordination is not required to meet the requirements of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., the City ~ ,must address -l~r)ert~federal regulations and programs to ensure the most effective implementation of comprehensive plan objectives and policies. ~-F-V I I I - 19 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT For example, the need to analyze and review legal constitutional issues regarding property rights continues to be important during the review and development of the goals, objectives and policies of the Future Land Use and Capital Improvement Elements, and in the creation and administration of land development regulations and associated ordinances and codes. Environmental regulations can affect the implementation of the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge elements and costs of system expansions. In addition, numerous lr~federal programs are available to possibly aid the City ~- - ~., in implementing the Comprehensive Plan, including, but not limited to~r-e programs that address low-income housing, improvements in waste disposal and ',~ ~rrenvironmental protection. A majority of these programs are administered by the States ~-iz, but an understanding of their purpose is important to their implementation and inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. a. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAI developed the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permittingprogram in two phases. Phase I, promulgated in 1990, addresses municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) located in incorporated places and counties with populations of 100,000 or more, such as Seminole County. Phase II, promulgated in 1999, addresses additional sources, including MS4s not reaulated under Phase I, and small construction activity disturbina between 1 and 5 acres. In October 2000, EPA authorized the FDEP to implement the NPDES stormwater permitting program in the State of Florida (in all areas except Indian Countrx landsl. FDEP~s authority to administer the NPDES program is set forth in Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The NPDES stormwater program regulates point source discharges of stormwater into surface waters of the State of Florida from certain municipal, industrial and construction activities. As the NPDES stormwater permitting authority, FDEP is responsible for promulgating rules and issuing permits, managing and reviewing~ermit applications, and performing compliance and enforcement activities. In Seminole County, the County and the seven incorporated cities including the Citx are listed as co-permittees under one NPDES permit. The City coordinates closelx with Seminole County and the other cities regarding the implementation of the NPDES permit. The Utility Department is the office responsible for coordination with the EPA. ~ ~ _ b. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) _ - _ ~ -_ _ -The Public Worl<s Department is the primary liaison with the USDA. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation X41-VII I - 20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Service (NRCS) assists in relieving hazards created by natural disasters that cause a sudden impairment of a watershed. Aid for the installation of emergency watershed protection measures to relieve hazards and damages to the watershed were provided to the City after the 2004 hurricanes and 2007 tornadoes. c. r-~~~ ~' ~~;~~ ;~ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOEI The City coordinates with the ACOE regarding the maintenance and use of Lake Jesup. The F~~ACOE has a local office in Jacksonville. The City Manager's office will continue to be the liaison to the ACOE. d. U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUDI The City coordinates with HUD and the Florida DCA on projects pertaining to the provision of housing to low and moderate-income residents and regularly receives Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) grant funds through interlocal agreements with Seminole Countypursuant to HUD requirements. e. U.S. Flood and Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The City coordinates with FEMA primarily in the areas of disaster assistance and floodplain management. There are three categories of disaster assistance: Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation. The scope of disaster assistance available from FEMA depends on the nature and severity of the event. FEMA disaster assistance has historically been available after severe storm events including hurricanes and tropical storms. The Cityparticipates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), administered by FEMA. The three components of the NFIP are: Flood Insurance, Flood plain Management, and Flood Hazard Mapping. The City participates in the NFIP by adopting and enforcing floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. The City administers its FEMA responsibilities through the Stormwater Manager's role in the floodplain map, the City Engineer's role in requiring compensating storage for encroachment into the floodplain and prohibiting development in the floodway, and the Building Official requiring the finished floor of new buildings or additions to be at least 18 inches above the 100-year floodplain elevation, as well as emergency preparedness and response. Chapter 8 of the City Code addresses flood damage prevention and designates the City Manager as the City's Floodplain Administrator. His duties and responsibilities in that position relate to the City's involvement in emergency or disaster preparedness and response and the City's involvement in the National Flood Insurance Program. In exchange, the NFIP makes federally backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business owners in these communities. In addition to providing flood insurance and reducing flood damages through floodplain management regulations, the NFIP identifies and maps the Nations floodplains. Mapping flood hazards creates broad-based awareness of the flood hazards and ~4i-VIII - 21 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT provides the data needed for floodplain management programs and to actuarially rate new construction for flood insurance. In September 2007, FEMA issued new Flood Insurance Rate Maps. (The previous map update was in 1995.) Chapter 8 of the City Code has been amended to be consistent with the new maps• Strict adherence to the National Flood Insurance Program criteria is important to flood insurance rates within a jurisdiction as well as protection of life and property All new development including building permits are reviewed for compliance with the City's floodplain management ordinances. 5. Utilities a. Electric The City has an interlocal agreement with Florida Power Corporation (aka Progress Energyl to operate as the City's electric utility. Progress Energy is the installer of all streetlights. The Community Development Department- Urban Beautification Division works closely with Progress Energy in the implementation of these upgrades. The Utility Department is the liaison with Progress Energy for burying utility lines. A Florida Power and Light (FP&L) l~rtransmission line ~~keasement cuts across the entire City ~ - - _ ~ _ _ The City has an interlocal agreement for installation of reclaimed water lines within the easement. Additional multi-use options for the easement, such as a trail corridor, will require a cooperative effort between both parties. b. Sanitary Sewer, Potable Water and Reclaimed Water The City ~ operates its own utility for the purpose of the delivery of potable water, the collection of sanitary sewer,, and the operation of a water reuse program. Residential, commercial, and industrial users are served by both systems. The Utility Department operates and maintains both systems. Maps of the sanitary sewer service area, potable water service area and reclaimed water service areas are included in the corresponding Infrastructure Sub-elements. c. Telephone Land line telephone service is provided under franchise agreements with Sprint- United Telephone-Florida < , - _ ~~and Bellsouth. .. 1 - Numerous cellular providers service the City. A study completed in April 2006 identified the Tuscawilla area as having inadequate service. As a result, the City amended its ordinance and allowed a new stealth 150' unipole tower to be constructed on the Tuscawilla Golf and Country Club property. The new tower is designed to handle seven carriers. X41-VIII - 2 2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT d. Cable Television Previously, the City - maintaineds a franchise agreement with ~'_`~ri„ ~~~`.~~-~~ ~- '::~'~' Bright House Networks for provision of cable television service. This agreement was to expire on September 1 1 , 201 5; However, the recent adoption of the Consumer Choice Act (Chapter 610, Florida Statutes) has allowed cable and video providers to opt out of their local government agreements. Bright House selected this option, thereby nullifvin~ their agreement with Winter S rp in~s• e. SOlid Waste Collection The City ~ provides solid waste collection services for both residential and commercial users through Waste Pro, a private hauler. The current franchise agreement with Waste Pro is for a five year period and expires on February 28, 201 1 . Seminole County operates a landfill and transfer station. To meet compliance with the State resource recovery statute, the City has also enacted policies for the collection and reclamation of aluminum, glass, plastic, and newspaper products. The General Services Administrator is responsible for monitoring the City's solid waste franchise and Seminole County is responsible for the operation of ~rr-the landfill. f. Gas Service The Florida Public Utilities Company supplies residential, commercial, and industrial gas service within the City's corporate limits ~ - ~D. ANALYSIS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Intergovernmental Mechanism Opportunities and Problem Areas a. LOCaI rn...~ nnn~ nn_ ni i n nnno~ In 2005, the Florida legislature, recognizing the need for improved coordination between local governments and school boards, mandated a comprehensive approach to school planning. As a result, a coordinated effort was undertaken by the local jurisdictions of Seminole County and the Seminole County School Board, resulting in an updated interlocal agreement. _'_ - . ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~ - .~ ,.. ~ ~ 'The 2007 ILA - - - includes procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals and school planning. Additionally, a Public School Facilities Element was added to each local government's comprehensive plan that is consistent with those adopted by the other local governments. These tools will enable better coordination of public school facility planning with land use planning and development approvals. In January 2007, the City adopted Future Land Use Element, POlicy 1.8.4 establishing an eastern annexation boundary for the City, at DeLeon Street. The intention of this policy was to protect the rural and environmentally sensitive Black X41-VIII - 2 3 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Hammock area from future urbanization. Annexations by the City in this general area in the past had subsequently resulted in litigation and distrust for the City both area residents, the City of Oviedo and Seminole County. By implementing an annexation boundary, the City gained an improved relationship, especially with Seminole County. Now that the City can no longer sprawl eastward, it will be more dependent upon infill development and the annexation of enclaves to provide growth opportunities. The City has had an agreement with Seminole County since 1987 relating to the annexation of enclaves; however, this agreement primarily addresses the provisions of essential governmental services by the City to enclave areas. Both the City of Longwood and the City of Altamonte Springs each have had an interlocal agreement with Seminole County since the mid 1990's which allow the involuntary annexation of enclaves which are ten acres or less, when there is a change in the parcel's ownership. During 2008. the City Commission expressed interest in pursuing legal options available for eliminating enclaves, in furtherance of the public policy expressed under the annexation laws of Florida. As a result, a preliminary meeting was held between the City Manager and County Manager. The outcome of this meeting was an indication by the County that they would be amenable to having an agreement with the City that includes the same terms as the Longwood agreement, but likely would not support any variation to the terms of the Longwood agreement. Given that enclaves are a potential source of conflict, the City should continue its efforts to work with Seminole County to amend the 1987 agreement to allow for the involuntary annexation of enclaves that are less than 10 acres. An area of concern for the City is the road capacity for S.R. 434, east of S.R. 417. The City has no jurisdiction over this segment of roadway and future development of the City's Greeneway Interchange District (al<a SeminoleWAY) will likely have difficulty meeting transportation concurrency. It will be important for the SeminoleWAY initiative to work with local jurisdictions and FDOT to address this obstacle. Interlocal agreements : can resolve many conflicts that may otherwise arise between the City and other local governments and should continue to be pursued to the extent practicable. b. Regional . . .. ~ ~, -- .The Cif! has become an active member in programs and committees administered through the ECFRPC- by representation of both elected officials and staff. In .~~'~',~n;~T2007, the Central Florida Joint Policy Framework Committee created a regional growth compact consisting of six (6) regional growth principles. These include: • Preserving open space, recreational areas, farmland, water resources and regionally significant natural areas; X41-VII I - 24 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT • Providing a variety of transportation choices; • Fostering distinct, attractive, and safe places to live; • Encouraging a diverse, globally competitive econom • Creating a range of obtainable housing opportunities and choices; and • Building communities with education, health care, and cultural amenities. These principles grew out of a visioning~rocess conducted during 2006 and 2007. The process involved approximately 20,000 central Florida residents who were asked to answer the question "How Shall We Grow?" through a series of community meetings, presentations and surveys. The product of this process. The Central Florida Regional Growfh Vision represents a shared vision of the preferred method for directing the growth of the seven (71 county region that includes the City, between 2007 and 2050. By 2050, the population of the region is expected to more than double from 3.5 million to 7.2 million residents, thus necessitating development of a guiding vision. The Mayor has been ~rr~an active participant in this process and has served on the Mvreaion.ora Board of Directors and currently participates in the Congress of Regional Leaders to promote the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision. The City will continue . its involvement in development and implementation of The Central Florida Regional Growfh Vision. In addition, the City will continue to actively participate in METROPLAN ORLANDO and will include appropriate local road projects in ,fin ~`~~METROPLAN ORLANDO'S five-year transportation plan. As noted in the Introduction of this Element, rapid growth in the Orlando Urban Area continues to _- - influence er~the City's growth ~ ._ This growing regional impact requires that the City exercise all of its options to ensure regional representation on policy decisions that will influence the growth of the City.

The City ~- - ~, has made substantial progress in coordination with the FDOT through the City's participation in the ~ ',METROPLAN ORLANDO'S Transportation Improvement Program process, and the City's involvement in the public hearing process for the FDOT Improved Tentative Work Program. It is important that the City ~~continue its involvement in the formal procedures noted above, as well as improving its informal working relationship with the FDOT.- Informal coordination includes Development of Regional Impact reviews and access management coordination. A continued working relationship with the FDOT will ensure timely consideration of needed state roadway improvements and improved traffic circulation within the city. Coordination with other estate agencies has been acceptable and further analysis is not required. d. Federal Coordination with -~=ec~trt~federal agencies has been acceptable. 2. Future Growth and Development and the Role of Intergovernmental Coordination In order to continue to avoid future conflicts between the City's Comprehensive Plan and the regional policy plan, the City will continue to utilize the regional policy plan and regional growth vision in evaluating the proposed growth and development when amending the City's Comprehensive Plan._ If a conflict arises, the City will coordinate with the . , . _ ~ ECFRPC and the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan Advisory Committee to alleviate the conflict. In addition, the City shall ~4~-VIII - 2 6 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT continue to participate in the preparation of the evaluation report for the East Central Florida Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan required pursuant to ~rrSection 186.51 1, Florida Statutes.

SUMMARY The Capital Improvements Element (CIE) is the mechanism used to guide and implement the Comprehensive Plan through the programming of public facilities and services as identified in the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan and must demonstrate the fiscal feasibility of the Comprehensive Plan. The CIE is to be annually adopted and updated to reflect the timing and funding of capital projects to meet or maintain adopted Levels of Service (LOS) standards or implement the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the CIE and the Schedule of Capital Improvements (SCI) is to ensure that necessary facilities and infrastructure will be in place to meet the LOS standards established within the Comprehensive Plan, by addressing them through the annual budgeting process. The SCI also acts as a monitoring system to ensure that programmed capital improvements are actually completed during the five -year planning period. The SCI includes those capital improvement projects for which the local government has fiscal responsibility, as well as some projects for which the City does not have fiscal responsibility, including school facilities, certain transportation facilities, some water supply facilities, and privately funded projects necessary to ensure that adopted LOS standards are achieved and maintained. Capital improvements must be financially feasible based on sufficient revenues being currently available or available from committed funding sources for the first three years of the CIE. Financial feasibility for years 4 and 5 is to be demonstrated by ensuring that funds are committed or planned. Revenue sources that may be used to demonstrate financial feasibility include: tax revenues, bonds, state and federal funds, impact fees, service charges, and developer contributions. Expenditures or appropriations included in the City's annual operating and capital budget are to coincide with SCI as well as the City's capital improvements program. Concurrency related facilities in the following areas are to be included: Transportation Facilities Sanitary Sewer Potable Water Solid Waste Stormwater (drainage) Parks and Recreation Schools If the LOS Standards are not met, concurrency management requires a local government to deny applications for development orders and permits until the deficiency is addressed. In order to assure that facilities will be in place to maintain LOS standards in a timely manner and prevent a concurrency moratorium, the SCI must address deficiencies and be financially feasible. [Note: Land acquisition and design studies should be included, but do not satisfy concurrency- Only programmed construction phases satisfy concurrency.] IX 20 Incorpo N A Qreparedb9' Ice t_ N N� N t-4 wining C ,Unities, UC ORDINANCE NO. 2009 -08 A ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, SEMINOLE COUNTY, FLORIDA, SETTING FORTH AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BASED ON THE EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT ( "EAR "); PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; INCORPORATION INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; LEGAL STATUS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
