(2007-22; 01-14-2008) C~ VII-7 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN • INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT B. INTRODUCTION The Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act requires that local comprehensive plans be consistent with the goals of the State and Regional Policy Plans. Local govemments need to provide for this consistency in the goals, objectives, and policies of their plans. The City of Winter Springs' 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 all local plans to adopt an Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE). In order to provide for this consistency, coordination among State, 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, the ICE can ad as a catalyst for the smooth operation of the rest of the plan elements. By defining and creating tests of consistency within the ICE, deficiencies within and among elements can be identified for the purpose of correcting them. The Intergovernmental Coordination 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 Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan. In addition, these programs can be used to meet the growing demands of population growth on the City's services and public infrastructure. C. INVENTORY OF EXISTING INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS 1. Local The City of Winter Springs has utilized intergovernmental cooperation to further its coordination efforts with the following local agencies: a. Seminole County School Board (Ord. 2007-22; 01-14-2008) 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 VII-8 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 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 District 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 Seminole County School Board, the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners and governing bodies of seven cities adopted an Interlocal Agreement in 2007 that addressed coordination of public school facility and comprehensive land use planning (2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School concurrency As Amended January 2008). The County and cities also each adopted a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) to their 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 Interlocal Agreement (ILA) and the PSFEs involved the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), comprised of staff representing each of the signatories to the Interlocal Agreement. During 2006 and 2007, the PTAC developed recommendations for coordination of land use and school facilities planning as the basis for the 2007 Interlocal Agreement. 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 Interlocal Agreement 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 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. VII-9 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT 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 of Winter Springs 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: • The Intergovernmental Planning Coordination Agreement of 1997 provides for City representation on the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (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 of Winter Springs to participate in the County 911 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 HUD (United States Department of Housing and Urban Development) 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 construction administration services for infrastructure improvements within Winter Springs to benefit low and moderate income residents. • An agreement to participate in the U.S. Highway 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The U.S. HWY 17-92 CRA establishes a tax VII-10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT increment finance district to fund redevelopment projects along the County's major north/south arterial. Portions of the highway and taxable properties are within the City limits of Winter Springs. • An interlocal agreement for the regional coordination of water supply planning between the local governments within Seminole County. c. Other Local Aaencies Several agencies exist in Seminole County that provide services and support to the citizens of the City of Winter Springs. These agencies are: • Economic Development Council (EDC) -The Council is anon-profit organization that was created to enhance, support, and promote economic development within Central Florida and Seminole County. Tourist Development Council (TDC) -This agency acts to promote Seminole County as a tourist destination. The Council is funded by a three percent (3%) "tourist" tax on hotel/motel rooms in the County. 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 for tourists visiting Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs. • LYNX, the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority's mass transit bus service, operates two routes adjacent to Winter Springs. These include a route with service along the U.S. 17-92 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. 2. Regional On a regional basis, the City of Winter Springs continues to participate in numerous committees sponsored by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council. This participation is noted in the inventory section of this Element. 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 of Winter Springs. Regional growth will have a definite impact on the growth of Winter Springs and on its infrastructure and delivery of municipal services and will need to be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan. r~ ~J VII-11 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT 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 The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC) is the regional planning agency responsible for the implementation of powers and duties pursuant to Chapter 186, F.S., for Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs. The ECFRPC, located in Maitland, Florida, also has regional planning jurisdiction in the Counties of Volusia, Orange, Lake, Osceola and Brevard. The Council is the agency responsible for the development and implementation of the Regional Policy Plan. The ECFRPC has the responsibility, pursuant to Chapter 163.3184. F.S., to review local comprehensive plan amendments related to their relationship and effect on the Regional Policy Plan. As such, the Council may submit recommendations to the State requesting modifications. Pursuant to Chapter 380.06 F.S., the Regional Planning Council also has the authority to regulate Developments of Regional Impact (DRI). Developments of Regional Impact are developments that have a substantial effect on the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life of citizens in more than one county. The ECFRPC has the authority to ensure that these developments are consistent with accepted level of service standards and the Regional Policy Plan, and the Council's recommendations are incorporated in any development orders for the DRI. The Mayor of the City of Winter Springs currently serves as a member of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council on behalf of the Seminole County League of Cities. The purpose of the membership is to provide policy direction pnd manage regional policy issues to fulfill the Regional Planning Council's powers and duties. b. METROPLAN ORLANDO METROPLAN ORLANDO is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties -the Orlando Urban Area. As the regional MPO, 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 5- Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), as well as bicycle and pedestrian plans for the region. The City of Winter Springs is represented in the activities of METROPLAN ORLANDO through participation in two committees, as follows: • The Mayor of the City of Winter Springs Commissioner serves as a member of the METROPLAN ORLANDO Municipal Advisory Committee. The purpose of the membership 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 VII-12 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT 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 METROPLAN ORLANDO Transportation Technical Committee. This committee reviews regional transportation plans and provides policy direction for transportation issues in Seminole, Orange, and Osceola Counties. Using input from the Transportation Technical Committee, the MPO develops an Urban Area Transportation Study, and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is subsequently developed and adopted. c. St. Johns River Water Management District Created in 1949, the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is responsible for flood control and water conservation in the St. Johns River region. The City of Winter Springs is within the jurisdiction of the SJRWMD. This authority has regulatory control over all water based resources within its jurisdiction. The District 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 District has a local office in Altamonte Springs that reviews development plans in .Seminole County and may require plan modifications, prior to granting approval. The City 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. Water Supply Planning and Coordination Section 163.3191(2)(L), 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 Ptan). 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 VII-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT Regional Policy Plan 1998. The County Plan was completed in 2007; the City's Water Supply 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 State Road 46. 3. State State agencies such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Department of Environmental Protection are instrumental in helping the City of Winter Springs 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 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). In addition, the DCA and the Department of Children and Families can aid in the implementation of the City's Housing Element. The Department of Environmental Protection will monitor and approve all policies respective to the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element. The Florida Department of State provides direction regarding the Future Land Use Element and the ability of the City's 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. The actions of the State legislature will also impact the effectiveness of the City's Plan; specifically, future funding needs of the State of Florida. Coordination and cooperation between the State and local governments is necessary to ensure public policy efficiency and address the economic implications of public policy funding issues. The funding issue is extremely critical for smaller, rapidly growing communities especially in the current economic environment. In order for the City of Winter Springs to effectively meet the requirements of Chapter 163, and other State-mandated policies, future State funding resources will continue to be critical in providing a safe and livable community. a. Department of Community Affairs The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is the primary State agency responsible for review of local comprehensive plans and land use map amendments.

These roadways are displayed in the Transportation Element. The Department 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, and drainage flow on the State's highway system. FDOT is also responsible for determining the functional classification of roads within the City of Winter Springs and the surrounding area. The office responsible for local coordination is located in Deland. 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. c. D,gpartment of Environmental Protection The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is charged with the responsibility of preserving the quality of the State of Florida's land, water, and air resources.

The local office of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is located in Orlando. d. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission This commission is charged with the responsibility of regulating hunting, fishing, and protecting endangered species. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) has no unilateral control over any areas surrounding the City of Winter Springs. The Commission does coordinate with FDEP and SJRWMD and other regulatory agencies to review projects that would adversely impact fish and wildlife habitats. However, the FFWCC has very little enforcement power except on issues dealing directly with game. e. Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is a resource for publications and standards related to trees and plants care, and prohibited plant species. The FDACS administers and oversees numerous programs and grants including Tree City USA and the Urban and Community Forestry Grant program, The Urban Beautification Division of the Community Development Department is the entity responsible for coordination with this agency.

The Division of Historical Resources 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 Federal intergovernmental coordination is not required to meet the requirements of 9J-5, F.A.C., the City of Winter Springs must address Federal regulations and programs to ensure the most effective implementation of comprehensive plan objectives and policies. 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, • VII-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge elements and costs of system expansions. In addition, numerous Federal programs are available to possibly aid the City of Winter Springs in implementing the Comprehensive Plan, including, but not limited to programs that address low-income housing, improvements in waste disposal and environmental protection. A majority of these programs are administered by the State of Florida, but an understanding of their purpose is important to their implementation and inclusion in the Plan. a.

Gas Service The Florida Public Utilities Company supplies residential, commercial, and industrial gas service within the corporate limits of the City of Winter Springs. D. ANALYSIS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION 1. Intergovernmental Mechanism Opportunities and Problem Areas a. Local (Ord. 2007-22; 01-14-2008) 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 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency As Amended January 2008 includes procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals VII-18 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS .INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT 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 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 by 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 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 Winter Springs 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 of Winter Springs is the road capacity for State Road 434, east of State Road 417. Winter Springs has no jurisdiction over this segment of roadway and future development of the City's Greeneway Interchange District (aka 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. Additionally, the City along with the other local governments within Seminole County should consider developing acounty-wide methodology for addressing concurrency on all state roads similar to the approach implemented by the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization. Interlocal Agreements and/or development 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. VII-19 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT b. Regional Through representation by both elected officials and City staff, Winter Springs has become an active member in programs and committees administered through the ECFRPC. In 2007, the Central Florida Joint Policy Framework Committee created a regional growth compact consisting of six (b) regional growth principles. These include: • Preserving open space, recreational areas, farmland, water resources and regionally significant natural areas; • Providing a variety of transportation choices; • Fostering distinct, attractive, and safe places to live; • Encouraging a diverse, globally competitive economy; • 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 process 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 Growth Vision" represents a shared vision of the preferred method for directing the growth of the seven (7) county region that includes Winter Springs, 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 of Winter Springs has been an active participant in this process and has served on the Myregion.org Board of Directors and currently .participates in the Congress of Regional Leaders to promote the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision. Winter Springs will continue its involvement in development and implementation of the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision. In addition, the City will continue to actively participate in METROPLAN ORLANDO and will include appropriate local road projects in 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 growth in Winter Springs. 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. Locally the City coordinates with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) in their review of development permitting applications. This review by the SJRWMD generally takes six (6) weeks or longer depending upon the quality of the submittal and the proposed development's impact to wetlands. Winter Springs relies on the SJRWMD to determine appropriate mitigation for impact to wetlands. • VII-20 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COORDINATION ELEMENT Coordination between the City and the SJRWMD on the creation and implementation of a welifield protection ordinance still is needed. The District has invaluable resources and technical assistance that can help ensure the success of this necessary ordinance. c. tat Existing intergovernmental coordination with State agencies has been improved significantly over the last five years as the City has added Staff with professional expertise and commitment to intergovernmental cooperation. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has been helpful in the review and permitting of City improvements to the City's wastewater treatment system. The City has adopted internal policies to match the accounting system used by FDEP for sewer allocations. tmproved coordination with the Department has provided for special public works projects to be completed on time and in compliance with FDEP standards. While updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City has noted various infrastructure needs that will require continued coordination with State agencies. The City of Winter Springs has made substantial progress in coordination with 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 continues 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 State agencies has been acceptable and further analysis is not required. d. Federal Coordination with 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 Plari 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 East Central Florida Regional Planning Council and the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan Advisory Committee to alleviate the conflict. In addition, the City shall continue to participate in the preparation of the evaluation report for the East Central Florida Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan required pursuant to Chapter 186.51 1, Florida Statutes. VII-2Z CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Additionally, the City shall continue to coordinate with Local, State and Federal agencies for grant opportunities and improvements. 3.
