RE: City of Winter Springs Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
DCA Amendment # 09-1 ER
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
~a 7S
gl~fl°5
The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council staff has completed a technical review of
the proposed EAR based comprehensive plan amendment Winter Springs 09-IER. The
amendment consists of three changes to the Future Land Use Map (PLUM) and text changes.
Staff comments are indicated below in italics.
In conducting plan amendment reviews Council staff considers effects on natural resources of
regional significance, extra jurisdictional impacts, compatibility with the 2050 Regional Vision,
and consistency with the agency's Strategic Regional Policy Plan.
We commend the City staff for their extensive e,~`orts to strengthen the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed changes further advance the 2050 Regional Vision for Central Florida. Specifically,
the City proposes changes to the Future Land Use Element to allow a vertical mix of uses along
the SR 434 Corridor, policies to permit and encourage Accessory Dwelling Units, policies to
address energy conservation including LEED principles, and suppon for Low Impact
Development techniques.
Staff has not identified any significant or adverse effects on regional resources or facilities, nor
have any extrayurisdictional impacts been identified that would adversely affect the ability of
neighboring jurisdictions to implement their comprehensive plans.

I'm not keen on the City being named on all St. John's conservation easements either, and the intent of
this paragraph is not to inject the City into St. John's permit process. This is a comprehensive plan
requirement that is being imposed by the City. I can think of some instances where it may make sense
to have both the District and the City as a beneficiary of a conservation easement. Foreclosing that
opportunity is very short sighted in my opinion, especially when the City and the District have mutual
interests. I would suggest accepting the changes, but make it "and/or appropriate regulatory agency
If she still has concerns with that, please tell her to have the District Attorney Stan Niego call me to
discuss. However, I don't think that is necessary.

Anthony/Kate
SJRWMD is not keen on including the City on conservation easements that result from their
permitting process. I spoke with Cathy of SJRWMD after sending this email, and she is going to
put me in contact with their legal staff. Her concern is that by including the City it may disrupt
their permitting process, and she was unaware of any other City's that is currently included
during this process. I indicated that the current Comp Plan already requires conservation
easements to include the City. [Conservation Element Policy 1.4.5 Wetlands and respective
buffer areas must be dedicated to the City via a conservation easement.]

Hi Cathy
This policy was previously in our 2002 Comp Plan and required that conservation easements be
dedicated to the City. Although your proposed language reads better, it removes this requirement, that
the City be included. I am happy to revise this policy as long the City is still one of the entities included.

Re: Historic Preservation Review of the Winter Springs (09-lER) Comprehensive Plan
Amendment (Seminole County)
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
~P Ts
According to this agency's responsibilities under Sections 163.3177 and 163.3178, Florida
Statutes, and Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, we reviewed the above document to
determine if data regarding historic resources have been given sufficient consideration in the
request to amend the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan.
We reviewed proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report based text amendments to various
elements of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, in addition to several administrative land
use changes, to consider the potential effects of these actions on historic resources. In the
Future Land Use IIementr Objective 1.9 addresses archaeological sites and historic properties.
Policy 1.9.2 addresses the state's "register of historically significant property." There is no such
register. The state maintains the Florida Master Site'File which is a database of all recorded
sites and properties. While there are some properties which have been determined significant
listed on the site h1e, many of these sites and properties have never had a significance
determination. Policy 1.9.3 removes any time frame for conducting a cultural resource
assessment survey to locate and evaluate the city's archaeological sites and historic properties.
The same is true for Policy 1.9.4 which removes a due date for addressing historic preservation
in the Code of Ordinances.
In the Housing Element, Objective 2.3 also addresses historic preservation with regard to
historic housing. Policy 2.3'.1 has been modified to remove a due date to identify historic
buildings. Policy 2.3.2 also removes any due date for the establishment of rehabilitation
standards for historically significant structures. The city should use'I1te Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings
for any rehabilitation artavities that affect significant structures..

Subject: Winter Springs Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
DCA Amendment #09-IER
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
St. Johns River Water Management District (District) planning staff have reviewed the above-referenced
proposed comprehensive plan amendment. The proposed amendment is the required Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR)-based amendment related to the City of Winter Springs' (City's) adopted 2008
EAR The proposed amendment consists of text changes to each element of the comprehensive plan.
The amendment also includes three changes to the Future Land Use Map (PLUM). District staff review
focuses on water supply availability and related water resource issues in an effort to link land use
planning and water supply planning. In the review of water supply availability, District staff consider
infrastructure, permitted allocation under District-issued consumptive use permit (CUP), and source.
District staff have no comments on the PLUM changes since no substantial water supply availability or
related water resource issues were identified. District staff wnunents on the text changes are provided
below.
Water supply planning requirements
The City addressed the water supply planning requirements of chapters 163 and 373, Florida Statutes,
through adoption of its 07RWSP1 amendment. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA} found the
amendment in compliance on September 19, 2007. The text changes adopted in the 07RWSPl
amendment aze included in the City's comprehensive plan and are not proposed to be changed in the 09-
lER amendment. The City indicates in Infrastructure Element Objective 2.3 that the water supply
facilities work plan will be updated should the ongoing CUP modification process result in changes to
projected potable water demand. The District has no further comment regarding water supply planning
requirements ai this time.
Wetland protection
New Conservation Element (CE) Policy 1.4.5 requires dedication of wetlands and respective buffer
areas to the City via a conservation easement. As written, the policy does not specify who is required to
dedicate a conservation easement. Also, requiring dedication of conservation easements to the City
potentially conflicts with District permitting rules. As part of the permitting process, the District could

Capital Improvements Element
The EAR-based amendments to the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) goals, obJedives, and policies
consist of minor text edits and revised adopted LOS standards for solid waste, stormwater management,
parks, and City-owned open space.
There is no data and analysis accompanying the EAR-based amendments to the CIE. However, FDOT
reviewed the annual CIE updated in December 2008.
REVIEW COMMENTS
The LOS analyses In the TE supporting data and analysis reflect an existing year of 2008 and anear-
term horizon of 2012 (three years out). There is no long-term LOS analysis.
FDOT notes that the SunRail commuter rail service is an underpinning of many of the City's planning
efforts. SunRail was not approved by the State legislature in the 2009 session, but FOOT and others are
continuing to work towards implementation of SunRail.
FDOT notes that DCA may ot~jed to'setf-amending' language such as the reference to FDOT's LOS
standards in TE Policy 1.1.1.
The City has updated analysis tables from to reflect a 2012 horizon. However, Map II-5 and Map 11-6 of
the TE supporting data and analysis make references t0 a 2010 horizon.
The Department reviewed the City's adopted CIE update separately through the 08-CIE1 cycle and
submitted comments in December 2008.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with 9J~.019(3)(f){h), F.A.C., please provide a LOS analysis that shows whether or not
State roadways in the city meet adopted LOS standards in the near term (a five-year horizon) and the
long term (at least a 10-year horizon). The analysis should demonstrate whether or not planned and
programmed improvements are adequate to maintain adopted LOS standards in the near and long term.
If additional improvements are needed, please Identify the needed improvements and work towards
including them in the appropriate plans and programs (e.g., the LRTP) or discuss other means by which
the deficienaes will be addressed. New comprehensive plan policies may be needed to describe how
long-term deflclencies will be addressed.

DCA Amendment ~ 09-1 ER
Date o>t DCA's Request Memo: 08/23108
Review Comnwnb Dsadtlne: 07i2?J08
Today's Dab: 07/06/09
Please update Map II-5 and Map II-8 of the TE supporting data and analysis provided to reflect the new
horizon year of 2012.
The City states on page II-44 of the TE supporting data and analysis that improvements to US 17/92, SR
419, SR 434, and SR 17 are the responsibility of the State.' FDOT notes that the State allocates funding
towards needed projects based on regional priorities. Hence, FDOT encourages the City to coordinate
with METROPLAN ORLANDO to ensure that needed projects are included in the LRTP.
FDOT is available to coordinate with the City on matters related to SR 434 (including changing the
facility's arterial class and addressing widening issues) and the design of roadways in the Town Center.
FDOT notes that Winter Springs has been designated as a Dense Urban Land Area (DULA) under the
recent SB 380 Iegisiation. If the Clty chooses to become a TCEA per SB 360, the City must adopt
strategies for supporting and funding mobility in the TCEA within two years of the TCEA taking effect. Per
163.3180(5)(b), F.S., these strategies should include alternative transportation modes and should reflect
the regional vision (e.g., the How Shall We Growl regional vision). FDOT strongly recommends that the
City continue to proactively develop TCEArsupportive strategies so that the benefits of TCEA-related
planning can more quickly be realized. These benefrts include:
^ Demonstrating the City's commitment to being consistent with the intent of the SB 3Q0 concunency
language. 183.3180(5)(a), F.S., states that's range of transportation alternatives (Is) essential to
satisfy mobility needs, reduce congestion, and achieve healthy, vivant centers.' FDOT believes
that DCA is more likely to find the TCEA strategies in compliance in two years if the City is able to
demonstrate the success of strategies that are in place at that t(me.
• Ensuring that the safety of the transportation system Carr be maintained /n the face of a potentially
increased /eve! ofdevelopment /n the next two years. Crashes are more likely to occur as vehicle-
miles traveled (VMT) increases. Therefore, managing VMT through the tools that support the
TCEA may yield transportation safety benefits.
• More expedklous/y acquiring lundirp, ded/cations, and/or e/temathre mode infrasbvcture.
Developing TCEA strategies proactively may more immediately establish a means of collecting
funding for mobility projects or requiring developers to construct mobility projects.
• Increasing livability. Support for alternative modes can open up more job opportunities for transit-
dependent residents. High levels of congestion may dissuade visitors from shopping in Winter
Springs and may dissuade businesses from locating in the city.
• Protect/ng environmental resources. 163.3177(6), F.S., requires kx:al government comprehensive
plans to incorporate transportation strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. DCA is
currently developing the associated Florida Administrative Code language.

If the City moves forward with development of TCEA (or MMTD) strategies, FDOT fs willing to meet with
the City to review the analysts methodology andlor draft comprehensive plan amendments.
FDOT encourages the CRy to coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO in the development of tools by
which potential increases and decreases in greenhouse gas emissions can be determined in furtherance
of the requirements of 163.3177(6), F.S. One such tool may be based on vehicle-miles traveled as
calculated from the regional planning model.
