SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
. I. SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
A. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
As a suburb of Orlando, Winter Springs was a predominantly residential community. An
analysis of the City's existing land uses determined that nearly 49% of the total acrecge was
residential (Exhibit I.A.1).
Exhibit I.A. 1: land Use
land Uses Existino Acreaoe Percent
Residential 4218 48.9%
Greenbelt & Recreation 874 10.1%
Public Facilities 384 4.5%
Aoriculture 216 2.5%
Industrial 103 1.2%
Commercial 68 0.8%
Vacant 2757 32.0%
TOTAL 8620
.
Thirty-two percent of the City had yet to be developed or utilized for agriculture and was
classified as vacant. The City had a total area of nearly fifteen (15) square miles.
Existing residential land use classification clearly illustrated that 90% of the City's residential
acreage is devoted to housing at densities of less than five dwelling units per acre (Exhibit
I.A.2)

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
. COMMERCIAL LAND USES
Nonresidential land uses occupied only a small percentage of the City's total acreage.
Commercial land uses occupied only 68 acres, or .8% of the City's total acreage. The vast
majority of uses were small retail or service operations worl<ing out of a business park or a
small strip center.
INDUSTRIAL LAND USES
Industrial land uses within the City were characterized by light industrial manufacturing,
automotive services and warehousing/storage yards and occupied 86 acres, or 1.0% of the
City's total acreage.
AGRICULTURAL LAND USES
The City's major agricultural area was a 216 acre section on the northwest side of Winter
Springs, just north of S.R. 434 and south of Lake Jesup. It represented 2.5% of the City's total
acreage.
GREENBELT AND RECREATION LAND USES
.
Designated greenbelt and recreation areas comprised 874 acres within the City (10.1% of total
acreage). These areas were situated throughout the city with major concentrations in the
northeast, central and within the Tuscawilla P.U.D. The Winter Springs Golf Course and the
Tuscawilla Country Club comprised major portions of the recreational acreage while a large
greenbelt area existed in the central portion of the City. The non-recreational areas were
dominated by bayhead and hardwood swamp wetlands and are characterized as depressions
in the f1atwoods which are either submerged or saturated part of the year. Left in their natural
state, the areas served as land buffers and wildlife corridors.
Winter Springs was well served by its existing parks and recreational facilities, which included
two golf courses and numerous neighborhood parks. Existing recreational lands (528 acres)
comprised 6.1 % of the City's total acreage. Central Winds Park was under construction.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Public facilities within Winter Springs comprised 4.5% of the total acreage (384 acres) and
included two elementary school, six churches, the municipal complex, two fire stations,
associated services facilities, effluent disposal areas and power and utility easements.
HISTORIC RESOURCES
Winter Springs had no historic properties listed with the State Division of Historic Resources
Florida Master Site File, National Register of Historic Places, or designated by the City of
Winter Springs by local ordinance.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
. VACANT LANDS
Winter Springs had over 2700 acres of vacant land, much of it concentrated in the northern
sections of the City. The land north of S.R. 434 from the City's eastern boundary west to
Tuskawilla Road encompassed approximately 720 acres. Much of the land contained
wetlands vegetation including hardwood swamps, bayheads and hydric hammock areas. A
large tract of vacant land also lay in the central portion of the City and contains approximately
140 acres of hardwood swamp. Throughout the City several vacant sections existed which
were scheduled for residential and nonresidential infill development.
SOILS
The City's predominant soils include Urban Land-Astatula Apopka and Tavares-Milhopper soils
which are well draining soils that are sandy throughout and are found on the uplands areas.
Those areas are suitable for development of any of the planned residential density or
commercial intensity uses. Areas of development concern included the land south of Lake
Jesup, which is composed of Pompano-Nittaw-Basinger and St. Johns-Malabar-Wabasso
soils, which are poorly drained soils.
WETLANDS AND DRAINAGE
.
The flood plain closely paralleled the hardwood swamp and hydric hammock wetland types
throughout the City. As there had not been any major flooding in the area since 1960, the
drainage constraints to development corresponded to the wetland resource constraints. The
major wetlands resources were located primarily along the northern portion of the City, north of
S.R. 434 and south of Lake Jesup, with a second major wetlands area centrai'to the City west
of Tuskawilla Road and south of S.R. 434.
GROUNDWATER RESOURCES
The Floridan aquifer is the primary source of potable water for most of north central Florida.
This aquifer is a series of limestone formations up to hundreds of feet in thickness and is
recharged by infiltration of rainwater through permeable surface sands into the uppermost
limestone formations. Discharge from the aquifer occurs naturally through artesian springs
and artificially through wells which penetrate it.
ANALYSIS OF POPULATION AND ECONOMY
POPULATION COMPUTATIONS
Winter Springs population estimates as of April 1990 were based on a combination of
information from the best available sources:
.
Actual dwelling unit counts by development from City records;
Actual vacancy ratios by Census tract from the 1990 Census preliminary report;
Household size derived by interpolation from County Data for 1988 and 1997, by
Census tract and dwelling unit type;

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
. Preliminary Census City total population was a check of City estimates.
Winter Springs had experienced phenomenal growth since 1970, when the population was
only 1,161. As of census date 1990, the City boasted a population of 22,653. The estimated
and projected City populations from 1970 through 2010 are presented in Exhibit IA3.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
. Seventy-three percent of the City was 18 years or older. The median age of the City was 34.1.
A survey of businesses concluded in 1990 by the City's Commerce and Industry Board found
that:
1. 68% of the businesses were less than five years old,
2. 79% had five or fewer employers while another 11 % had to six to ten,
3. 54% plan to expand their business in the next five years,
4. 68% of those planning to expand expect to grow within the City,
5. 67% view the City as an excellent or good place to do businesses.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The City had two major water public utilities serving Winter Springs. The conditions of these
existing facilities was good and no immediate deficiencies existed in the equipment. No new
water facility siting was anticipated to meet the projected demands for the long term planning
period.
The Winter Springs East and West public utilities systems also provided the sewer service for
Winter Springs. Winter Springs East had a commitment to serve portions of the Tuscawilla
P.U.D. which are within the Oviedo City limits, leaving 93% capacity reserved for Winter
Springs. The capacity of Winter Springs West is 100% reserved for the City.
.
Planned capital improvements to the West system included expanding the effluent disposal
system and expanded treatment plant. Specifically, residential irrigation projects and the
irrigation of public easements and recreational areas were to comprise a significant portion of
the improvements.
The East system had projected capacity through the year 2003.
TRANSPORTATION
The community was served by one major north-south route, Tuskawilla Road, and one major
east-west route, S.R. 434. Sections of these facilities were operating at a level of services
standard E, below the minimum requirements for such arterial roadways.
The existing roadway network was found to be substantially deficient when conSidering that
less than half of the property within Winter Springs had not been developed at that time.
Another concem was the proposed completion of new Florida's Tumpike section along the
eastem edge of the City.
The City had planned a central loop roadway system to relieve the congestion around S.R. 434
and Tuskawilla Road and to provide residents with altemative routes for intra-City trips.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
STRATEGY FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT
GUIDELINES
The City of Winter Springs envisioned a change in its basic mix of residential to nonresidential
land uses over the following twenty years. It was the City's goal to increase the economic
viability of Winter Springs to the benefit of residents, prospective employers and employees
and to the benefit of the overall financial health of the City. To that end, the analysis proposed
drastically increasing the percentage of land designated as conservation, industrial,
commercial and mixed use. Exhibit I.A.4 indicates those changes.

B. TRAFFIC CIRCULA nON ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Winter Springs is served by one major north-south route, Tuskawilla Road and one major east-
west route, S.R. 434. Located in south-central Seminole County in a ruraVsuburban residential
setting, the City's major roadways provide access to neighboring towns for Winter Springs
residents and employees and facilitate the flow of through traffic.
INVENTORY OF EXISTING SYSTEM
The City's inventory contained arterial and collector roadways as well as local and residential
streets. While the City did not have a limited access freeway within its confines, a portion of
Florida's Turnpike was being constructed which was to cross the northeast boundary.
The functional classification of roadways within the City were consistent with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FOOT) definitions which include the following five categories:
Residential
A residential street functions only to serve a local residential community
and does not connect any higher classified roadways.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
Local
The primary function is to serve the adjacent property by providing the
initial access to the highway network. These roadways are characterized
by short trip lengths, low speeds and low traffic volumes.
Collector
Collectors serve as the link for local streets and highways to provide intra-
neighborhood transportation. Trip lengths are moderate, as are operating
speeds and traffic volumes. Access to collectors should be restricted to
local streets and highways and major traffic generators.
Arterials
Intended to serve moderate to large traffic volumes traveling relatively
long distances, arterials require higher speeds and levels of service.
Access should be well controlled and, in general, limited to collector
streets and highways. The arterial system should form a continuous
network designed for a free flow of through traffic.
Freewavs
A freeway is a limited access divided arterial street or highway with a
minimum of four lanes. Access is completely controlled and
accomplished by special auxiliary lanes. The functions is to serve large
traffic volumes traveling long distances at high speeds.
Exhibit 1.8.1 depicts the functional classification of the City's roadway network.

Exhibit 1.8.2 shows, at the time of plan adoption, the FOOT roadway functional classification
for the roadways within the City, along with the number of lanes per segment. The
classification did not indicate any principal arterials within the City, however, US 17-92 and
S.R. 436 are in the adjacent area. Minor arterials within the City include S.R. 419, S.R. 434
and Tuskawilla Road.
The City had only one four-lane roadway - S.R. 434 from the western City limit to the
intersection with S.R. 419. The remainder of the roadways were two lane roads.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
A review of accident data showed the majority of accidents occurring along the City's two main
arterials: S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Road. A study commissioned by the FOOT in 1988, State
Road 434 Multi-Lane Reconstruction Studv. noted that the S.R. 434 section from S.R. 419
eastward and southward to the Orange County line experienced higher overall accident rates
than were experienced on similar types of roadways in Florida.
The FOOT report noted that without improvements, the intersection of S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla
Road would be at a LOS by the year 2013.
ANALYSIS OF PROJECTED NEEDS
Pursuant to 9J-5 requirements, projections of 2010 traffic volumes and system improvements
based on future land uses shown on the Future Land Use Map within the Comprehensive Plan
had been prepared. These projections, presented in Exhibit 1.8.4, served as a basis for
determining the need for new roadway facilities and expansions to support planned
development and to maintain adopted LOS standards.
In addition to the 2010 analyses, interim year analyses for the five year planning period had
been made. The recommended improvements are identified in Exhibit 1.8.5 and illustrated on
Exhibit 1.8.6.
Exhibit 1.8.4: Year 1997 Recommended Improvements
ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The City of Winter Springs, as well as the majority of the Central Florida area, faced a
significant transportation challenge in providing the infrastructure required to support expected
growth over the next twenty years. Winter Springs traffic deficiencies resulted from the
existence of only one north/south and eastlwest route through the City. The recommendations
provided for both 1997 and 2010 directly address these deficiencies.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
C. CONSER VA TION ELEMENT
Winter Springs is located in Seminole County, in east-central Florida. Lake Jesup serves as
the City's northerly boundary The entire City is located within the St. John' River Drainage
Basin. The natural resources in Winter Springs include clean air; wetland and upland forests,
which provide habitat for wildlife; groundwater, activities as well as open space and storage of
floodwaters.
PHYSIOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
According to The GeomoroholoQv of the Florida Peninsula, White, Geological Bulletin No. 51,
1980, Winter Springs is located in the. Osceola Plain physiographic province. Elevations range
up to 60 feet. The City's mineral resources generally consist of sand, according to Mineral
Resources and Industries of Florida, J. Calver, Florida Geological Survey, 1956. According to
the Florida Bureau of Geology (Campbeli, 1986), no sands were commercially mined in
Seminole County. The historical development patterns in Winter Springs preclude future
mining activities within City limits.
. SOILS
.
The soils in the City are dominated by Urban Land-Astatula Apopka and Tavares Millhopper
soils, as surveyed in the 1990 Soils Survey of Seminole County. These soils are characterized
by well draining soils that are sandy throughout and have a loamy sub-soil at a depth of 40
inches or more and found on the uplands areas. The areas south of Lake Jesup are
composed of Pompano-Nittaw-Basinger soils, characterized by level, poorly drained soils
found on the flood plain. Also evident on the southwestern portion of Lake Jesup are St.
Johns-Malabar-Wabasso soils which are level, poorly drained soils that are sandy and are
found on the flatwoods or in sloughs.
The soils underlying Winter Springs are depicted in Exhibit I.C.1. According to the USDA Soil
Conservation Service, there were no major soil erosion problems in the Winter Springs area.
However, significant erosion problems occurred in portions of Howell Creek and other creeks
where agricultural ditches and canals drained. This may be due to 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. AgriCUltural runoff was noted to occur in Howell
Creek and lake Jesup, though Winter Springs had no existing agricultural lands. Therefore,
erosion and sedimentation problems were 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, best management
techniques for erosion control were recommended to be required by developers. landscaping
plans were recommended to be required for all industrial, commercial and multi-family
residential development.
It was 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
detention which ensure post-development water runoff rates do not exceed pre-development
runoff rates.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
SURFACE WATER RESOURCES
Surface water resources in Winter Springs consisted of: Soldier's Creek; Gee Creek; Howell
Creek (Branch); Bear Creek; portions of Little Lake Howell; and portions of the south shore of
Lake Jesup. There are a number of isolated lakes as well, including: lake Tuscawilla; and,
Lake Talmo. Water quality data is provided in Exhibit I.C.2 from the 1990 Florida Water
Qualitv Assessment 3051b) Technical Appendix, by Joe Hand et ai, Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER). The waters of Soldier's Creek, Gee Creek and Lake Jesup
were classified as Class III recreational waters by the FDER.
Gee Creek, Howell Creek and Soldier Creek are all major tributaries to Lake Jesup. The data
indicated that water quality for creeks and Lake Jesup in Winter Springs was fair to poor. Lake
Jesup was very eutrophic with an almost constant algal blooms and yearly fish kills. Although
wastewater no longer empties into the system, recovery will likely be slow due to very low
flushing rates. The lake bottom was covered with muck from three to ten feet in most
locations. The FDER had included water quality monitoring, assessment of cultural impacts,
development of nutrient and water budget, and recommendation for a course of action.
It was recommended that the City require all new development that drains into the Lake Jesup
watershed adequately treat stormwater, ensure that clearing of vegetation of wetlands
adjacent to the 100-year flood plain, and alteration of surface waters and wetlands are
regulated in Winter Springs. It was also recommended that future land uses be developed to
be compatible with lake management goals, by designating flood plains and wetlands areas as
conservation, and that the City develop land development regulations that require
development to mitigate negative impacts on lake water quality.

FLOOD PLAINS
Winter Springs was enrolled in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood
Insurance Rate Program. Therefore, FEMA maps delineating flood-prone areas were
available. Data for flood-prone areas, as identified by FEMA, is depicted in the map series.
The 100 year flood plains of Winter Springs were 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 Creak and Howell Creek.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
In order to ensure public health and safety and minimize flood hazard to public and private
property, it was recommended that net encroachment within the flood plain be prohibited.
Where development did occur in flood-prone areas, the land development regulations should
ensure building designs include features which reduce public safety hazard and property
damage. Additionally it was recommended that requirements should ensure first floor
elevation, as well as electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment and
other service facilities are above the 100-year flood elevation, all structures are anchored to
resist flotation, and structures will be elevated on piers, with breakaway walls below the flood
elevation. Other requirements recommended in order to maintain the functions and natural
features of flood plain lands. 1) All proposals for development in the 100-Year flood plain
should be required to redesign the site plan to avoid alteration in the 100-year flood plain. 2)
Where the applicant documents that the project cannot be completed without ~Iteration of the
1 OO-year flood plain, the project may be approved if all structures are placed on pilings with a
minimum amount of fill. 3) All structures should be constructed so that the first floor elevation
is above the 100-year flood plain. 4) No septic tanks should be located within the 100-year
flood plain, as this can contribute to surface water quality problems.
It was recommended that clearing of flood plain vegetation be limited to 25% of the site, that
no hazardous materials or wastes be stored within the 100-year flood plain and that the 100-
year flood plains in Winter Springs be designated for conservation use.
WETLANDS
Wetlands within Winter Springs consisted of: hydric hammocks, hardwood swamps,
freshwater lakes, and shoreline marsh habitat associated with freshwater lakes.
The freshwater marshes serve as a filter system for the lakes, because the natural vegetation
assimilates the nutrients, stabilizes the soils and prevents erosion. This protects the rivers
from overloading of nutrients, which would have negative effects on fisheries. Marshes and
lakes will retain water during drought and slow down water during flood times.
UPLAND VEGETATION
Much of the upland natural resources, such as wildlife and vegetative communities were
predominated by residential, commercial and other urban uses. Predominately all the upland
natural resources in the City had been significantly disturbed by urban uses.
According to Endemism and Florida's Interior Sand Pine Scrub, prepared by Steve Christman,
1988, there were no identified rare scrub endemic plants in Seminole County. The dominant
vegetational communities in the area consisted of: pine flatwoods and mesic hammocks,
according to Buffer Zones for Water. Wetlands and Wildlife in the East Central Florida Reaion,
Brown et aI., October 1989.
WILDLIFE AND SPECIES DESIGNATED AS ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SPECIAL
CONCERN
No federally listed endangered plants are known to exist in the County. No specific inventory
of endangered and threatened species had been completed which defines species occurring
in Winter Springs.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
AIR QUALITY
There were no Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) or other known ambient air
monitoring stations in Winter Springs. Based upon the data available, it was concluded that
existing air quality in Winter Springs is good, and no air quality problems were projected for the
near future.
Based on the information assessed, it was recommended that the City adopt a landscape
ordinance which ensures adequate buffering between incompatible land uses.
WATER NEEDS, SOURCES AND USES
The Floridan Aquifer is the principal source of water for potable water use in the groundwater
basin. The natural quality of groundwater in this groundwater basin varies greatly depending
on the location and the depth from which water is obtained. Based on the information
assessed it was concluded that the Floridan Aquifer underlying Winter Springs is of good water
quality.
There were no agricultural or industrial water users within the City that utilize City potable water
facilities. Further, there were no industrial or agriculture users within the City that utilize water
from the surface waters or from wells that require SJRWMD consumptive use permits. The
agricultural land uses utilized irrigation wells from the surficial aquifer. All agriculture wells are
under the well size limitations for SJRWMD permitting, thus no information is available on
these wells. Current and projected water needs and sources for the next ten-year period had
been projected to be as follows:

*The Future Land Use Map indicates agricultural land uses

Chapter 1740, FAC., State Water Policy, advocates the use of water of the lowest
acceptable quality for the purpose intended, and the direct reuse as an integral part of water
management rules and programs. According to the District's groundwater basin inventory,
Seminole County has the potential to implement direct wastewater reuse programs in addition
to existing programs. Effluent from a wastewater treatment plant can be treated to a specified
level and then reapplied to land such as golf courses, landscapes, and agricultural areas or
reused by industry. In areas of increasing population and water use demands, reuse is an
important conservation strategy, and ensures that the lowest quality use of water is used.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The City had already adopted an ordinance for water reuse. Additional policies were
recommended to promote even greater reuse in the City. 1) Reduce water use for irrigation
needs by encouraging the use of xeriscaping in landscaping plans. 2) Xeriscaping (the
incorporation of drought tolerant, native plants in a landscaping plan in order to reduce the
need for irrigation and maintenance) and, 3) the use of native plants rather than exotics to
help prevent exotics from invading other disturbed areas, where they compete with beneficial
natural species.
The City currently had no wellfield protection ordinance or other regulations for protection or
use of water. It was recommended that the City adopt a wellfield protection ordinance limiting
development within 200 feet of its wells, except certain passive recreation or other appropriate
uses within the 200-foot radius.
KNOWN SOURCES OF POLLUTION, INCLUDING HAZARDOUS WASTES
There were no known hazardous waste sites within Winter Springs, according to the
Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) Sites List. The only known potential pollution
problems within the City included untreated stormwater runoff which empties into the area's
lakes.
EXISTING AND POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL, RECREATIONAL AND CONSERVATION USES
There were no natural resources in commercial use within the City. Natural resources in
existing recreational use consisted of boat ramps on Lake Jesup. Future Recreational uses
were to be designated on a portion of the south shore of lake Jesup, where the Winter
Springs Recreation Area was being developed. There were no natural resources in existing
conservation use. However, the City had designated the areas characterized as 100 year
flood plain and jurisdictional wetlands for conservation use on the Future Land Use Map. In
addition, a large area of forested wetlands and flood plain, located between lake Mary and
Winter Springs, was being acquired by Seminole County as Springs Hammock Preserve.
D. HOUSING ELEMENT
Winter Springs was predominately a residential community of approximately 23,000 whose
population focus was shifting toward the east. The original Village of North Orlando, as Winter
Springs was incorporated, consisted of standard homes on quarter-acre or larger lots centered
around the western section of S.R. 434. In 1970, the City's population was only 1,161 persons
and concentrated on the western side of town. By 1980, the population increased nearly
eight-fold and exceeded the 10,000 level. The new Tuscawilla P.U.D. was attracting a great
number of residents to the eastern half of the City.
This trend of "eastern expansion" continues into the 1990's. Exhibit 1.0.1 presents a summary
of this growth.

At the time of plan adoption the City had approximately 13.6 square miles of land area. The
density disparity between the east and west sides narrowed over the decade of the 1980's, as
evidenced by the persons per square mile. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 1980 the
east side had only 460 persons/mile2 while the west side had 1367 persons/mile2. By 1990,
these figures converged significantly to 1236 and 1929 persons/mile2 respectively. While the
west side of the City experienced a substantial amount of infill development among existing
residential areas, the Tuscawilla area was being developed at a more rapid race.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSING STOCK
Winter Springs is a relatively young city in terms of its residential housing stock. Over 47% of
the existing housing was built since 1980. The following table provides a view of the
residential developments according to the year they were approved and developed. The table

Based on City analysis of property plats and building permits, over 77% of the existing housing
was classified as single family dwellings, including mobile homes. Exhibit 1.0.3 illustrates the
dwelling type mix for all housing units. The majority of multi-family units were rentals (42.7%)
while fee sample units (when the resident owns the land under the building with condominium
ownership of the common grounds) comprised 35% of the multi-family mix.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The 1990 U.S. Census reported that Winter Springs had 6,104 owner-occupied dwelling units
(76.2% of total housing stock) and 1,907 renter-occupied units (23.8% of total). Over 89.1 % of
the owner-occupied units are one unit detached or attached units while the comparable
percentage for renter-occupied units was 49.1 %.
There had been considerable growth in the number of renter-occupied housing over the
previous decade. In 1980, that number was only 376 units. The 400-plus percentage increase
was evidence of the City's growth as a well-balanced community offering affordable housing
and alternative housing arrangements. A review of the fact that nearly half of the renter-
occupied housing were single dwelling units indicated the amount of single family unit rentals
in the Winter Springs market.
The 1990 Census reported that 695 housing units were vacant, representing 8.0% of the total
housing stock. Of these units, 108 are for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. The
owner-occupied vacancy rate was 3.8% while the renter-occupied vacancy rate was 10.6%.
These vacancy rates were similar to Seminole County's rates for the 1990 Census.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The median value for owner-occupied houses within the City in 1990 was $96,500. This was
up nearly 50% from the 1980 median value of $64,133. Seminole County's median value is
comparable to the City at $91,500 for 1990.
There was a significant difference in values upon examination of the east and west sides of
Winter Springs. The 1990 value for homes on the east side was $139,200 while the west
side's value was only $81,700. This was due both to the lower cost of housing in the originally
developed areas of the City and due to the country club environment of the Tuscawilla P.U.D.
on the east side.
An analysis of the monthly cost of owner-occupied housing indicated a median cost of $868 if
the home still had a mortgage, and only $208 if there was no mortgage. The following table
presents an analysis of the monthly owner-occupied expenses of Winter Springs residents.
Rental costs within the City were felt to be both reasonable and in line with the surrounding
. County's rent costs. Over half (51.5%) of the rents within the City were less than $500 per
month, compared to 59% for the County. The median rent for the City was slightly higher than
the County at $496 versus $471 respectively.
It was also noted that there was a difference in the housing costs between the east and west
sides of the city. The east's median rent was $539 while the west's was $482. Data from the
1990 Census indicates that the median household income for Winter Springs residents was
$40,563. Exhibill.D.4 presents 1990 Census data on household income for the City.

The plan calculated that the affordable median income monthly rent would be $781. Ninety-
three and nine-tenths percent of the City's monthly rents were $750 or less. Over 51 % of the
City's rental contracts had a monthly expense at a rent-to-income ratio of less than 20%.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
After applying the same analysis to owner-occupied housing costs, it was determined that over
63% of owner-occupied households paid 30% or less of their monthly income toward housing
costs.
The City did not have any substandard or dilapidated housing. The older sections which were
part of the original town and were built in the 1950s were nearly built out and occupied. As a
result, no properties were left unattended and allowed to degrade below standard. As most of
the City was built in the 1970s and 1980s, the majority of the housing stock was relatively new
and was in excellent condition.
The City had no subsidized housing, group homes, or public housing arrangements operating
within its boundaries.
Winter Springs had two mobile home parks, Seminole Pines across from City Hall on S.R. 434,
and Hacienda Village on west S.R. 434. The Seminole Pines park had 102 homes within its
28 acres and had an additional 16 lots which were vacant. The park was characterized by
generous lot sizes nestled in a forested environment.
Approximately three miles west of Seminole Pines was the Hacienda Village mobile home
park. Consisting of 87 acres, this park was home to 447 units. A picturesque, well planned
park, Hacienda Village was often used seasonally by residents of other areas of the country.
The City had conducted an inventory of housing, and had found no historically significant
housing to exist in the City.
.
The City had more than doubled its population in the last decade from 10,350 residents to
22,683. This 119% rate of growth was expected to decrease to approximately 35% by the
year 2000 and to 22% by 2010.
By the year 2010 the City was projected to grow to over 37,500 residents requiring
approximately 14,800 homes.
The average household size in the City had decreased over the past decade. The City
experienced in the Person Per Household (PPH) factor of renter-versus owner-occupied
housing units. The renter-occupied PPH rate was 2.65 while the owner-occupied rate was
2.80. In 1980, 87.1% of all City households were family households (defined as a householder
and one or more related persons living in the same household) while in 1990, that percentage
had dropped to 77.8%. The City's 1990 PPH factor for families (3.11) was the same as the
County's factor.
The 1990 Census estimated that nearly 72.9% of the residents were 18 years or older, while in
1980, that percentage was 68.5%. The significant change over the decade was seen in the
percentage of those 65 or older - 9.2% in 1990 versus 6.9% in 1980. A nominal increase of
1,330 persons, this group was said to require more specialized housing needs such as
affordable housing as many were on fixed incomes from Social Security or fixed investments
such as bonds or certificates of deposit.
.
The median age of the City had increased 2.63 years over the past decade to 34.05 years.
This was comparable to Seminole County's median age of 33.3 years. While the increase in
W""=OUll'JlJ''''''_~'_E.W>OC 1-25 DRAFT

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
persons aged 65 or older was Significant for the City, its percentage of the population was
substantially lower than the surrounding area. Even though the City had experienced an
increase in elderly residents over the past decade, it still maintained a large portion of younger
persons who are at the beginning or middle of their income-producing years. Such a finding
was believed to portend the continued financial health of the community as well as the
potential for increased commercial development and operations.
The City was classified as having 15.9% very low income in 1980, increasing to 17.4% in
1990. The proportion of low income residents also increased over the decade from 20.7% to
24.0%. This was a disturbing trend as more households were earning less than 80 percent of
the median income. A look at the opposite end of the spectrum showed that those households
earning high incomes increased from 17.5% to 25.0%.
The City was assessed to be a bipolar community with a larger percentage earning either high
or low incomes with fewer households falling into the moderate to middle ranges. In fact, in
1980,45.8% of the households were in this "middle class" income range. In 1990, this number
decreased to 33.6%.
It was felt that trends exhibited during the last decade were unique in a number of ways: 1)
skyrocketing real estate values most of the decade then a nationwide bust. 2) phenomenal
economic growth at the expense of extensive debt structurings, and 3) military buildups which
directly contributed to the Central Florida area. As a result, it was recommended that one
should take caution in extrapolating the trends experienced during the eighties when projecting
future conditions. In analyzing the projected number of households by income group for 1997
and 2010, the City carefully weighed the trends of the past decade against local knowledge of
the rea' estate markets and economy. The following table is a result of that analyses.

The Tuscawilla P.U.D. had been the primary focus of construction and development activity
during the last decade. As a result, the development activity within that country club
community had resulted in the substantial increase in upper middle to high income category
households during the past decade. The City believed many of these trends would be
moderated or reversed during the short term planning period and would make further
adjustments through 2010.

The non-family data illustrates the need for additional apartments or smaller rentals as 94% of
these households have 2 or fewer persons. The majority of rental arrangements in the City are
held by non-family households. Shifts in both income group proportions and preferred living
arrangements necessitate more dwelling alternatives to the single family house.
The housing construction needs for the future were outlined in the table below. These figures
represent the construction of single family and multi-family dwelling units as required to meet
the City's projected population increases. Since the City currently had no substandard or
dilapidated housing, no construction activity for replacement or rehabilitation was projected for
the short term planning period, but was calculated for the period from 1997 to 2010 at a rate of
five percent. Finally, vacancies ran at two percent of the housing stock inventory and were
projected to remain at that level through both planning periods.

Winter Springs currently had 4218 acres of residential land, comprising 48.9% of the total land
usage. This acreage supported over 8700 dwelling units and a population of 22,683. By the
year 2010, the population was projected to be over 37,000 requiring 14,801 dwelling units.
With a total area of nearly 15 square miles and over 32% vacant land within its boundaries.
Winter Springs was projected to meet the land requirements for housing with primarily infill
development.
It was felt that as the City seeks to provide more infill residential development and better utilize
remaining acreage, the use of multi-family dwelling units would become more prevalent. The
single family share of the population was projected to decrease from 78.0% in 1990 to 71.8%.
Meanwhile the multi-family population percentage was expected to increase from 17.2% to
24.3%. The use of single family patio homes would increase from 17.9% to 23.6% as would
the use of rentals for multi-family units (from 36.9% to 63.7%). The trend would be toward a
more conservative use of remaining acreage to provide quality dwelling units for the City's
expanding population.
By the year 2010, the City projected the need for 1150 additional acres for residential
development (to a total of 5368 acres). Residential acreage would represent 62.3% of the
City's entire land area. Approximately 6800 new dwelling units would be constructed on the
1150 acres for an average density of 5.91 DU/acre.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
Winter Springs had experienced a substantial amount of residential construction activity
through the last decade. A number of private home builders had developed a variety of single
family and multi-family dwelling units which are immediately purchased and occupied. The
demand for housing in the entire Central Florida region was incredible as more than 300
persons per day move into the area.
A review of the single family detached cvnstruction activity showed a fairly constant level of
development through the decade, with the annual figures falling around the mean of 332 units
per year. The average cost of construction over the period was $63,461. This number has
steadily increased from $35,000 in 1980 to over $100,000 in 1989. This reflected the
development focus on the Tuscawilla country club community which offered homes from the
mid-80's to above $300,000.
Housing values on the west side of the City was more modest. The majority of new house
prices fell within the $70,000 to $90,000 range, with numerous options for housing above and
below that range. The construction of multi-family units had experienced wide fluctuations in
terms of the number of units built during the decade. While the average annual construction
activity was 82 units, the actual annual numbers varied from 358 units in 1985 to zero units
during the late 1980's. The development of multi-family units in the early part of the decade
met the needs of the community for the latter part.
In 1989 the average value of multi-family units averaged $15,700 and ranged from $11,000 to
$37,000 depending of the specified type of building structure and configuration.
The private sector was meeting the requirements of all households in the middle and upper
middle to high income ranges. Those households had annual incomes of $48,675 or more
and using the 30% afford ability rule, could afford over $1,200 in monthly housing expenses.
Assuming a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at 10%, this monthly amount could purchase a house
up to $135,000 in value.
The 1990 Census showed the City as having 2,923 households in the middle to high income
ranges, up from 1980's figure of 1,478. By 1997, the City projected 970 units to be built to
meet this income range, while over 1,700 units were projected to be constructed from 1997
through 2010.
In 1989 the moderate income households had incomes in the range of $32,450 to $48,675 and
could afford a minimum of $810 in monthly housing expenses. Using the same mortgage
assumptions, this equated to a home purchase price of $92,300. This was just below the
median housing value of owner-occupied units in the City, which was $96,500. As noted
previously, there was a vast difference in median house values between the east and west
sides of town. The west median value of $81,700 was over $57,000 lower than the east's
median value. Persons in the moderate income range could easily afford housing on the west
side of Winter Springs and could find many dwelling options on the east side as well, often in
the form of patio homes and condominiums.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
In 1980, the City had only 771 households in the moderate income range. By 1990, this
number had increased by over 1,000 to 1,821. To meet the increased demand, projects
showed this segment to increase by 715 units in the short range planning period, and show an
increase by 1,025 units for the period 1997 through 2010.
Households in the low income category earned between $~O,281 and $32,450 per year during
1989. While a household at the bottom of this range could afford vnly $507 in monthly
housing expenses, an average household could afford $659 monthly. The $507 could
purchase a $57,800 home while the average of $659 could purchase a $75,000 home. Both
of these prices were below the median home prices for the City.
Winter Springs had experienced increases in the number of households within the low income
category over the past decade. In 1980, there were 736 such households while in 1990, the
number increased by 1,202 to 1,938. Projections the need for future construction of low
income housing included 790 for the next seven years and 528 from 1997 through 2010.
These planned units would include fee simple and condominium arrangements as well as a
substantial increase in rental units.
The very low income families have incomes which generally do not permit them to purchase
adequate housing without assistance. Defined as having an income of less than 50% of the
median income, or less than $20,281, these households have special needs in terms of the
provision of affordable housing. This income range can only afford housing with purchase
prices less than $57,800.
The 1980 Census counted 564 households in this category, while the 1990 Census reported
over 1,400. Housing projections for the period 1990 through 1997 show the need for
construction of 583 units targeted for very low income households. During tf:1e 1997 through
2010 period, another 380 units were projected to be required.
Population projections for the year 2010 indicated that Winter Springs would grow to 37,537
residents requiring 14,801 dwelling units. This was an increase of 6,096 dwelling units over
the City's 1990 estimate of 8,701. The City had a phenomenal growth fate of over 1,800%
since 1970 and was projected to grow by another 65% by 2010. The supply of housing
provided by the private sectOf had always kept pace with the market demand and this
condition was expected to continue.
The construction of single family detached housing would continue to comprise the majority of
residential development. The City's projections, however, illustrated the changing mix of
dwelling types through 1997 and 2010. The projected dwelling type mix for 1990, 1997 and
2010 for the entire City, including segregation of single family and multi-family arrangements is
presented in the following table.

A review of this table illustrates the City's projected trend of increasing the proportion of multi-
family housing though 2010. Single family dwelling units drop from 71% of total housing to
64.7%. The multi-family units increase their proportion from 22.7% of the market to over 30%.
The need for additional affordable housing to meet projected population increases combined
with diversifying the City's mix of alternatives to single family housing was driving this trend.
An analysis of the components of the single and multi-family units provides more insight into
the housing transition. In the single family category, patio homes grow from 18.7% of the mix
to 24.3% while standard single family detached homes drop from over 75% to 70.8%. The
patio homes can be constructed for lower costs, occupy less land, and assist in clustering
development around common amenities such as recreational facilities. The Tuscawilla P.U.D.
has several variations of patio homes which have proven very popular with the market.
Within the multi-family category, the proportion of condominium-type of dwellings decreases
substantially through the planning periods. The rental supply, however, projects a significant
increase as a percentage of the total multi-dwelling market (42.7% in 1990 to 63.8% in 2010).
More rental units are required to handle the increased number of young couples with no
children or more elderly couples with fixed or limited incomes.
The following exhibit presents the number of dwelling units by dwelling type category.

E. RECREATION/OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
As the City grows from 23,000 person to over 37,000 by the year 2010, additional recreational
facilities will be required. Not only will new residents demand more of the same types of
facilities (i.e. tennis and basketball courts) but they will be looking for new recreational and
cultural opportunities. Most of the City's parks are small neighborhood or private parks located
throughout the City's residential areas. A more comprehensive recreational and open space
plan is necessary to address the phenomenal population growth projected.
Another basic justification for public recreation. planning involves natural resource
management. Winter Springs is blessed with several scenic creeks and streams as well as
large wetland areas. Further, the northern City limits are defined by the southern portion of
Lake Jesup, which is part of the St. John's River. The City has the responsibility to plan for
recreational facilities which provide for both active and paSSive enjoyment while still preserving
the natural areas so valued by Central Floridians.
INVENTORY OF EXISTING RECREATIONAL AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES
Much of the existing park system was composed of community and neighborhood parks which,
in general, serve discrete geographic areas. The City differentiated between the two types of
parks as they differ in the area served as well as the recreational amenities provided. A
community park is located near a major roadway easily accessible by residents from several
surrounding neighborhoods or from the entire City. Offering a wide array of both active and
passive recreational opportunities, this type of park was to encompass a larger area than a
neighborhood park.

Winter Springs was just completing construction on its first community park, the 59 acre
Central Winds Park, located on lake Jesup. The level of service standard for community
parks was to be based on this park's acreage and the current population of 22,683.
Neighborhood parks, including the existing inventory of passive parks, served the population of
a single neighborhood, and were generally accessible by walking or bicycle and had fewer
amenities than a community park. Usually containing picnic tables or areas, children's
playground equipment, and nature paths or open spaces, these parks required only a
maximum of a few acres. level of service standards were to be set higher than for the
community parks as the neighborhood parks had a greater proportion of open spaces to serve
as informal play areas.
The City had several private parks located throughout the City limits. Provided by private
developers, additional private parks were to be added to the parks system as new residential
construction activity proceeded. Level of service standards similar to standards for
neighborhood parks were to be set and maintained through City requirements of developers.
The existing facilities available included swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts,
children's playground equipment and picnic areas.
Located on the west side was a semi-private golf club providing access to both the general
public and members. Within the Tuscawilla P.U.D. was the Tuscawilla Country Club, a private
facility offering golf, tennis, swimming and various other amenities.
The following listing provides a comprehensive inventory at the time of plan adoption of the
neighborhood, community and private parks within the City. Amenities and facilities are also

The exhibit illustrates how the City met and exceeded the DNR's median standards on
practically all recreational facilities. The expanse of the neighborhood park system combined
with the newly constructed Central Winds community park kept the City's level of service up to
a point where all residents throughout the City had adequate access to user-oriented
recreational facilities.

Winter Springs had an expansive system of passive parks, conservation areas and related
resource-based outdoor recreational facilities. Such settings provided the opportunity for such
activities as fishing, camping, picnicking, hiking, and nature study. The City's Future Land Use
Map classified over 990 acres as Conservation to ensure the proper management and
preservation of such environmentally sensitive lands. Greenbelt and recreational acreage was
84 acres, with 528 consisting of recreational lands. Parks designated as Passive Parks
accoullied for 51 acres. These parks were undeveloped, natural settings which had been set
aside for the passive recreational enjoyment of the residents. The City's level of service
standard for passive parks by population served was 448 acres per person.
A common level of service standard measure for the provision of recreational and open space
facilities for a community is the number of acres per thousand population. An inventory of the
City's recreational acreages by geographic subdivision at time of plan adoption is presented in
the following exhibit. This list includes only acreages which are actively used for recreational
purposes and does not include the Conservation land use classification areas. To provide a
better assessment for the purpose of level of service standards, it also excludes the acreages
for the two golf courses.

LOS standards for neighborhood, private and passive parks were calculated on an area by
area basis to reflect the requirement for equitable access throughout the city. As such parks
served one or two neighborhoods usually within a one mile radius, the analysis of service
standards were conducted on a scale of less than the aggregate city.

The required new acreages for the southeast area reflected the substantial projected
popUlation increases within Tuscawilla as well as the relatively high LOS standard based on
current conditions. Most of the Tuscawilla residents chose that development for the private
country club amenities afforded them. The Tuscawilla PUD recreational facilities and acreages
were not included in the LOS standard calculation. While the above table presented a
potential problem in the need for significant additional acreage in the southeast by 2010, it was
pointed out that this is only a statistical aberration and not reflected to the actual situation.
THE PLAN FOR RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
The City's recreational survey results indicated the need for several types of facilities including
playground equipment, basebalVsoftball fields, tennis courts and soccer fields. Central Winds
Park, designed after that survey was taken, met all of these demands and much more.
Planned to be one of the most complete recreational facilities in the entire Central Florida
Region, this park would meet the majority of the community's needs for the long term planning
period.
Winter Springs was well within DNR level of service standard ranges for all recreational
facilities in terms of population served. Despite this fact, the following facility upgrades of
existing parks were projected.
1. Sunshine Park
a. Tennis courts will be resurfaced and lights installed.
b. T-Ball field will be built.
c. More playground equipment will be installed.
2. Tuscawilla Park
a. Chain link fence around entire park will be installed.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The new required park acreages outlined in Exhibit I.E.3 above would be required to meet
adopted LOS standards. The facilities which will be provided within these new acreages were
to depend greatly upon a continued analysis by the City of the existing facilities count and the
median facilities count of the DNR standards. The City was to ensure that LOS standards by
population served for specific facilities would remain within the DNR guidelines.
Many of the existing parks within the City had open space areas around ponds, wetlands,
forests and other natural features. The expansive conservation areas provided substantial
opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the natural surroundings. Not only did those
areas provide recreation and leisure activities, but they preserved ecologically significant
resources.
The majority of the passive parklands existed in the central portion of the City. Paralleling
wetland areas consisting of hardwood swamps and bayheads, those open spaces provided a
wealth of opportunities for bird watching, hiking and jogging. The open space areas on the
east side were more developed and allowed for informal ball games and related activities. A
large portion of Central Winds Park is to be devoted to open space, consisting of hiking
pathways, an exercise course, picnic areas and a boardwalk along the edge of lake Jesup.
Additional open space amenities were planned within existing parks to diversify recreational
offerings to residents and visitors. Those upgrades are summarized below:
1. Sunshine Park
a. A twelve station exercise track installed around the park.
b. A larger nature trail built with picnic tables and Bar-S-Que pits installed.
2. Tuscawilla Park
a. Upgraded open space area on the south side of the park.
3. Moss Park
a. 12 station exercise track.
b. Upgrade picnic area.
F. SOLID WASTE SUB-ELEMENT
At the time of Plan Adoption, the City of Winter Springs had no transfer stations or land filling
operation within the City limits, but relied on Seminole County facilities.
INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND FACILITIES
The following solid waste facilities were available to the City of Winter Springs within Seminole
County:
.
Sanlando Transfer Station. Operated by Seminole County, this facility was opened
in 1973, and is located on a 40 acre site in the southwest section of the County. It is
open 361 days per year, and accepts all solid waste except hazardous waste, white

.
goods, large tree parts, construction debris and tires. Its design capacity is 1620
tons per day. Waste is compacted by a hydraulic mechanism, then transferred to
the County landfill. The structure was in fair condition with no major problems,
however the hydraulic equipment was wom and a source of potential problems. No
equipment update has been scheduled, since this facility was scheduled to close
once the Central Transfer Station is operational.
.
Central Transfer Station. This facility was to open by 1993, and is located on a 20
acre parcel in the central part of the County. It will replace the Sanlando site once it
is closed. The design capacity was to be 1900 tons per day, with a peak capacity of
3000 tons per day. It was to accept municipal solid waste and yard trash. Waste
was not to be compacted, thereby reducing capital costs and maintenance
significantly. Given the central location and large capacity of the facility, no new
transfer facilities were planned for the remainder of the planning period.
.
Osceola Landfill. This facility was opened in 1970 on a 1,233 acre site in the
northeast part of the County. It is open 312 days per year and accepts for disposal
all solid waste except hazardous waste, whole tires, waste oil, lead acid batteries
and oil-based paint. All structures were in good condition and capital equipment
averaged less than 3 years old at the time of adoption of the Seminole County plan.
Solid waste was compacted to about 1200 pounds per cubic yard before covering.
In 1989, approximately 28.8 cubic yards of Class I capacity remained. It was
expected to be operational for another 33 years, based on the projections contained
in the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan.
.
Oviedo Material, Inc. Landfill. This private facility was a 100 acre Class III landfill
operated in the City of Oviedo. In 1988, 110,000 tons of clean construction debris
were accepted; discussions were underway at the time of plan adoption to
determine if the City will permit the landfill to increase its height. If approved, the
landfill would have had approximately ten years of disposal capacity remaining, vs.
four years without the increase.
.
Sanford Class III landfill. The City of Sanford operated a yard trash landfill just
North of Lake Mary Boulevard. This facility had a chipper which eliminated the need
for ground cover, and extended the life of the Osceola landfill site to the year 2010.
Exhibit I.F.1 depicts the Seminole County Service Waste Facilities, Exhibit I.F.2, the Existing
and Future Seminole County Solid Waste Service Areas.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CONDITIONS
The City of Winter Springs did not operate a solid waste disposal facility or a solid waste
collection service. All solid waste is taken to one of the solid waste collection facilities in
Seminole County. By franchise agreement, the City granted exclusive right to collect
household and commercial refuse and trash to a private entity. The current contract was held
by Industrial Waste Service, Inc. (IWS); collection was not mandatory within the City. Both the
City and the County had attempted to establish mandatory collection by 1992, however, at the
time of plan adoption, had been unable to do so due to collection enforcement problems with
private haulers, and the fact that the legal procedures necessary to provide for issuance of

solid waste collection charges to all real property were lengthy and could not be accomplished
at that time. The City and County planned to revise the date of activation of mandatory
collection to 1993.
The Seminole County Plan did not allocate disposal capacity on a proportional basis, therefore
there was no specific capacity allocated for the City of Winter Springs in the County Plan.
However, the IWS dump report data was analyzed to assess the City's generation rate on a
per capita per day basis. The average weight in pounds per month was 1,302,614 pounds, the
average pounds per home per month was 190 pounds, and the average pounds per capita per
day was 2.33 pounds.
Chapter 403, Florida Statutes mandated that the volume of municipal solid waste deposited in
landfills be decreased by 30 percent per capital by the end of 1994. This reduction was to be
accomplished by diverting certain categories of solid waste from landfilling to recovery. To
accomplish that objective, the City and the private collector cooperated to initiate a recycling
program in January of 1991. The City provided each single family residence a recycling bin in
which to set out disposal of newspapers, green, clear and brown glass, plastic bottles and
aluminum cans. IWS acquired vehicles equipped for curbside separation of these recyclables
and began weekly collections. Those recovered materials were transported to a private
recycling company for safe and disposition.
.
Public response and cooperation with the recycling program had been successful. The
average participation rate in the program was approximately 40 percent; with 24 pounds per
capita average per day. These participation and pound per capita per day rates were
considered excellent, and could be expected to improve if the City were to make additional
materials available for recycling, and find methods to extend recycling, to the private haulers
commercial and multi-family customers.
Seminole County had implemented a Household Hazardous Waste Program that provides
citizens in the municipalities and unincorporated area a place to dispose of their chemicals,
pesticides, paints, batteries, used oil, and other hazardous waste materials. The County had
installed two certified hazardous waste storage buildings, one at the Sanlando Transfer Station
and one at the County landfill. Citizens were able to dispose of their hazardous material seven
days a week. The County contracted with a certified hazardous waste handling company to
collect and properly dispose of the material on a quarterly basis.
FACILITY CAPACITY ANALYSIS
The Seminole County Land Use Plan is the source of the data of this analysis. Exhibit I.F.3
shows the demand of facility capacity at the time of adoption. The existing level of service
provided in the service area by County is adequate, each facility has capacity well in excess of
current refuse demand. As indicated on Exhibit I.F.3, there are no deficiencies.
The projected total waste stream tonnage for the City in 2910 was 56,026 tons and the County
was 727,606. Based on this projection the Osceola Landfill would have 12 years of capacity
remaining and the Central Transfer Station 25 years in the year 2010.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The County adopted a level of service of 5.14 PCD at the landfill, and 4.94 PCD at the Central
Transfer Station. This determined concurrency until 1996, after that the future level of service
at the landfill was to be 3.77 PCD, and 3.43 at the transfer station.
The City generated an average of 2.33 pounds of solid waste per capita per day. Based on
that data and rates of generation, the City set its solid waste level of service at 3.77 pounds
per capita per day, the f.ame as the 1996 future County level of service.

. G. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT
.
.
Within the City limits of Winter Springs, there were five utilities providing water service as
follows:
1. Winter Springs West served the western part of the City. This was a public facility
operated by the City of Winter Springs.
2. Winter Springs East (formerly Seminole Utilities) served the eastern part of the City. The
current service area was the Tuskawilla PUD. Under City ownership, the service area
expanded North to Lake Jesup. This was a publiC facility operated by the City of Winter
Springs.
3. Seminole Pines trailer park was served by a privately owned water system.
4. Seminole County Environmental Services provided service to Tuskawilla Unit 2.
5. Casselberry provided water to a one block section of Belle Avenue south of SR 434.
This was a public facility operated by the city of Casselberry.
The Winter Springs East and West water systems did not serve any areas outside the City
limits.
The Winter Springs East and West facilities consisted of three water treatment plants, which
served approximately 3860 equivalent connections. Water plants 2 and 3 were operated full
time, with water plant 1 being operated as a back-up plant and being placed in service when
needed. All three plants provided aeration, storage, chlorination and high service pumping. All
of the plants had hydropneumatic tank systems.
The entire distribution system had been looped where possible to provide a flow reinforced
system.
Water was supplied to the three plants by five wells. Well number 1 was used only on a back-
up basis for well number 2, and both are located at water plant 1. One well exists at each of
the Water Plants 2 and 3.
DESIGN CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Seminole Pines Trailer Park
The Seminole Pines Trailer Park served 112 trailers. At 250 GPO per trailer, it is estimated
their service capacity to be 28,000 gallons per day. Demand was equal to the capacity and
provided a level of service of 100 gallons per capita per day.
Seminole County
Seminole County Environmental Services provided service to Tuskawilla Unit 2, from the
Consumers Water Treatment Plant. The design capacity was 3.0 MGD on an average daily
flow basis and provided a level of service of 100 gallons per capita per day.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The City had committed to a reduction in consumption for the East side from 185 GPCD to 130
GPCD by 1997.
Demand on these facilities was approximately 10,386 people (1.04 MGD ADF) for the West
side and 10,284 (1.90 MGD ADF) for the East side. The level of service was approximately
100 gallons per capita per day for the West side and 185 gallons per capita per day for the
East side.
The condition of the facilities was good and no immediate deficiencies existed in the
equipment. Water Plant 2 was constructed in 1972 and improvements were made in 1986
and 1988. Water Plant 3 was constructed in 1972 and improvements were made in 1986 and
1990. The East System Water Plant was constructed in 1974 with improvements made in
1984 and 1989.
The facilities were all well maintained and the equipment had been renewed, replaced, and
upgraded as required to meet the demand of the system.
FUTURE CAPACITY ANALYSIS
No projected deficiency through the planning period was anticipated. The projected maximum
flows were less than the maximum daily flow permitted under the consumptive use permit.
The reduction in East facility flow was to be accomplished through the implementation of a
water conservation program to include the following measures:
Merging the East and West facility into one facility.
Using treated effluent for irrigation and watering of golf courses.
Adoption of a block rate schedule for water service which will be designed to discourage
excessive water consumption.
Amending the building and plumbing code to require low water consumption plumbing
devices.
Requiring landscaping and buffering areas to be constructed with at least fifty percent
(50%) native xeriscape planting materials.
Providing educational material to the public on water conservation techniques to be
distributed in water bills on either an annual or semi-annual basis.
The City adopted the following level of service standard for the East and West Potable Water
facilities, measured by gallons per capita per day (GPCD).

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
The West Wastewater Treatment Plant facilities were designed to meet public access criteria,
which permits continued disposal on the golf course and future expansion to residential and
commercial irrigation systems.
The facilities consisted of two 120 foot diameter package treatment plants each with a 60 floor
diameter clarifier and an outer ring (surrounding the clarifier which contains the aeration bays
and the aerobic digester). This size package plant was generally referred to as a 1.5 MGD
plant. However, due to the backup requirements of Class I reliability, the biological and clarifier
processes were rated in accordance with that criteria and the capacities were reduced
accordingly.
Following biological treatment and clarification, the effluent flowed into a small chamber that
can be used for chemical addition of pre-filtration chlorination or flocculent aid. From this tank,
the effluent flowed to the automatic backwash dual media filters. The final step in this
treatment process was high level disinfection in the chlorine contact chamber and then to
storage ponds.
The per capita wastewater flow for this system was 81 GPCD, which was significantly below
the national average, and was not used for planning purposes. Based on 100 GPCD and
1.345 MGD disposal capacity, the system was estimated to have the capability' to serve
approximately 13,450 people.
The last expansion of the East facility was completed in the latter part of 1988. With this
expansion, this system was permitted for 2.012 MGD.
The per capita wastewater flows for this system was 72 GPCD. This number was also
significantly below the national average and was not used for planning purposes. Therefore,
based on 100 GPCD and the limiting effluent disposal capacity, the system can serve a
population of 20,120.
The maps depicting the geographic service areas of each facility and the sewer system are
attached as part of the map series.
The treatment plant capacity of the East facility was permitted at 2.012 MGD; the treatment
capacity of the West facility was 1.345 MGD. The capabilities of Winter Springs East and
West facilities are described in Exhibits I.H.1&2.

FUTURE CAPACITY ANALYSIS
The projected sewer flows and available capacity for the Water Sewer East and West Facilities
through the year 2010 indicated that the only deficiency would occur in 1992 for the West
facility. This was to have been alleviated through the capital improvement Identified as being
under design and construction at the time of plan implementation. Other increases in available
capacity in the West facility were projected to take place in 1998, 2000 and 2003, through
capital improvements to be undertaken at those times. All projected flows for the West facility
were based on 100 gallons per capita per day (GPCD), which provides an allowance for
normal infiltration /inflow.
There were no deficiencies indicated for the projected sewer flows for the East Facility.
Increases in capacity were projected to occur in 2002 and 2010, through capital improvement
projects to be undertaken at those times.

t. DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT
Management of stormwater runoff is important towards maintaining the water quality of the
City's lakes, creeks and wetlands. Stormwater runoff is responsible for over half the pollution
load entering Florida waters. In fact, in many watersheds, stormwater discharges are
responsible for all the pollution entering surface waters. Date and analysis in the Conservation
Element regarding water quality of the City's lakes and creeks indicated that stormwater runoff
was an issue of local concern.
INVENTORY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATELY MAINTAINED DRAINAGE FACILITIES
The private stormwater drainage facilities were operated and maintained under a St. John's
River Water Management Stormwater Permit by either a private company, individual or
homeowner's association. The following are the private drainage facilities in Winter Springs of
Plan adoption:
Hacienda Village Mobile Home Park
Seminole Pines Mobile Home Park
Georgetown Subdivision
Brawwick Subdivision
Green Briar Subdivision
Casa Park Subdivision
Fairway Oaks Subdivision
Greenspointe Subdivision
Golf Terrace Apartments (Fountaintree)
Seville on the Green Apartments
Bentley Green Subdivision
Country Club Villas Subdivision
Bear Creek Estates Subdivision
Tuscawilla Country Club and Golf Course
Tuscawilla Tennis Villas Subdivision
Indian Ridge Subdivision
Cypress Club
The preceding subdivisions and apartment complexes had their own stormwater drainage
facilities. All stormwater was either retained on-site, or treated either through filtration or
vegetative nutrient uptake prior to discharge into the City's stormwater infrastructure piping.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
All city paved public roads and infrastructure had a stormwater drainage facility. All the
stormwater retention/detention ponds existed in dedicated drainage/utility easements, but
various retention/detention ponds were maintained by private property owners or homeowner
associates.
This condition was to change once the stormwater management utility came into existence. At
that time, it was planned for the Stormwater Management Utility to take over the maintenance
and operation of those ponds that serve the public drainage systems.
A portion of the City referred to as the Ranchlands and Dunmar Estates with primarily large
acre lots had no paved roads with the associated stormwater infrastructure. This area had
pervious (dirt) roads and various swale systems that directed the stormwater runoff to various
isolated ponds.
State Roads 434 and 419 that traverse the City were under the jurisdiction and control of the
Florida Department of Transportation. All stormwater facilities associated with these two state
highways were designed, maintained and controlled by the Florida Department of
Transportation.
Tuscawilla Road, which traverses the City in a north/south direction again was under the
jurisdiction and control of Seminole County. Two county residential roads (Morgan and
Shetland) that enter the City had stormwater road runoff entering the City's stormwater system.
All stormwater facilities associated with these County roads were designed, maintained and
controlled by Seminole County.
.
A portion of Murphy Road entering the City from the City of Casselberry had stormwater runoff
entering into the City of Winter Springs stormwater facilities.
The areas of the City that had a paved infrastructure system under the control and
maintenance of the City and have a stormwater management system (drainage system) with a
design capacity to handle a twenty-five year/twenty-four hour storm event represented
approximately fifty-nine (59) percent of the City's overall area. Approximately 95 percent of the
City's drainage facility capacity was apportioned to the City, the remainder served the cities of
Oviedo and Casselberry.
The responsibility for dedicated public stormwater drainage facilities belongs to the City of
Winter Springs. That responsibility encompassed the maintenance, upkeep and proper
functioning of all stormwater manholes and inlets, all stormwater piping, retention/detention
ponds, control structures and outfalls. There were stormwater retention/detention ponds
serving public drainage needs located in drainage easements on private property. Through
property deed covenants, the owner of property where various retention/detention ponds
existed were required to maintain these designed ponds. Only in emergency conditions was
the City to engage in maintenance of these ponds. Funds received by the Stormwater Utility to
be established in 1992 were to be allocated towards an inspection and maintenance program
to ensure all facilities within the City are properly maintained.
GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
Stormwater Management Map fell within the service of those private entities. The exact
boundaries of the geographical service area served by each stormwater facility could not be
ascertained from the available data at the time of plan adoption.
The City committed to obtain that data as a part of the Master Plan to be prepared by 1993.
DESIGN CAPACITY AND EXISTING LEVELS OF SERVICE
The design capacity of existing stormwater system drainage facilities both public and private is
for a twenty-five year/twenty-four hour storm event (8.6 inches of rain). While the existing
public systems met standards for on-site retention/detention, the water treatment capability of
the systems designed prior to SJRWMD permitting standards was unknown.
LOCAL REGULATIONS
The rules and regulations of state agencies were adopted by reference in the City of Winter
Springs Land Development Code, Chapter 9-241 (d). In addition, the City addressed the land
use development of natural drainage features per Section 9-241 (f) of the land Development
Code which stated "The City encourages the preservation of existing swamp areas, ponds
(including intermittent ponds), wetlands and wet areas, and bay heads for water storage and
conservation purposes:
Section 9-241 (f) Land Development Code required compensatory storage for incursions into
the natural drainage features. This section of the Code required compensating storage to be
calculated between the hundred-year flood elevation and the seasonal higher water table.
However, the Land Development Code was deficient in requiring the necessary dredge and fill
permits from the Florida Department of Environmental and/or the St. Johns River Water
Management District prior to the final approval of the development by the City Commission
and/or the City's Site Review Board.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The drainage facilities were performing and functioning as per their design criteria as best that
could physically be determined. In order to ascertain a more analytical determination of the
stormwater facilities, a study was to be implemented once a stormwater management utility is
in-place so that at a later date the City could provide the necessary information to satisfy Rule
9J-5.011(1)(f)2.
All stormwater discharge facilities must be designed so as to not degrade the receiving water
body below the minimum conditions necessary to assure the suitability of water for the
designated use of its classification as established in Chapter 17-302, FAC. These water
quality standards were to be incorporated as the City's adopted Level of Service Standards for
drainage.

to the stormwater management program; and
5. debt service financing of capital improvements related to the stormwater management
program.
The study was also to lay a foundation for the establishment of a preventative maintenance
and inspection program and a stormwater quality monitoring program. Upon completion of the
study, the City was to prioritize correction of deficiencies, and set a time frame for the
correction of identified deficiencies. The comprehensive plan was then to be amended for
consistency with the findings of that study.
The minimum level of service standards for stormwater treatment of all new development and
redevelopment was to be as follows: .
Stormwater management systems shall be designed to either retain on-site the runoff
generated by a twenty-five year/twenty-four hour storm or detain and discharge the runoff from
a twenty-five year/twenty-four hour storm at peak discharge rates which do not exceed pre-
development rates.
Water quality treatment shall be provided for a volume equivalent to 1/2-inch depth over the
entire site or the runoff from the first one inch of rainfall on the entire site, consistent with
Chapter 17-25, FAC. All stormwater discharge facilities shall be designed so as to not
degrade the receiving water body below the minimum conditions necessary to assure the
suitability of water for the designated use of its classification as established in Chapter 17-302,
FAC.
Site-specific conditions may require other design criteria to be satisfied in order to obtain
Water Management. District construction permits. To ensure compliance with those
requirements, a copy of a valid Water Management District permit or exemption letter shall be
presented before building permits or development approvals are granted.

J. NATURAL GROUNDWA TER AQUIFER RECHARGE DA TA & ANALYSIS
Information pertaining to the natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas in Winter Springs was
obtained through the Middle St. Johns Ground Water Basin Resource Availability Inventorv,
SJRWMD Technical Publication SJ9D-11, 1990. Winter Springs falls within the Middle St.
Johns Groundwater Basin. A groundwater basin is a particular groundwater flow system that
encompasses recharge areas and the associated discharge areas. According to the report,
the Southem West Central Florida Groundwater Basin is underlain by a multi-layer aquifer
system which includes the surficial, intermediate and Floridan aquifer systems. The surficial
aquifer consists of sands, 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 is free to rise and fall in response to atmospheric
pressure. Flow in the surficial aquifer usually follows the topography of the land. The surficial
aquifer is an important source of water for individual domestic wells and small-scale irrigation.
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; this aquifer is usually found within the confining unit of the
Floridan. The intermediate Aquifer occurs at 60 to 150 feet below land surface and supplies
water to some parts of the basin. The Floridan aquifer is an artesian aquifer composed of
limestone and dolomite; ground water is under pressure that is greater than atmospheric
pressure. This pressure is demonstrated by the potentiometric surface. Groundwater moves
from areas of higher to lower pressure. The Floridan Aquifer is the principal source of water
for consumptive use in the groundwater Basin.
. According to Stewart, 1980, Winter Springs is located in an area characterized as having zero
recharge to the Floridan Aquifer.
GROUNDWATER QUALITY OF THE FLORIDAN AQUIFER
The natural quality of groundwater in this groundwater basin varies greatly depending on the
location and the depth from which water is obtained. A major concem in this basin is saltwater
intrusion in Seminole County. According to the District basin report, Winter Springs was
located outside the areas in Seminole County which have chloride and sulfate concentrations
of equal to or greater than 250 mg/l.
Because there is probably some potential for contaminants to enter the surficial aquifer
through sandy soils and discharge to surface waters or the intermediate/Floridan, it was
recommended that the City adopt a wellfield protection ordinance limiting development within
cones of influence.
The Future land Use Map depicted the 200 foot radius of the cones of influence for Winter
Spring's wells, in order that land use decisions be consistent with potable water protection.
It was recommended that future activities regarding hazardous waste be regulated, in order to
protect surface water quality and potable water drinking supplies in the future. No hazardous
waste should discharge into lakes or wetlands, and any proposed land use which will generate

or handle hazardous waste should provide an emergency cleanup plan prior to permitting
approval by the City. The City was to adopt a wellfield protection ordinance by the statutory
deadline to regulate construction, land uses and handling of hazardous wastes affecting cones
of influences surrounding existing and future potable water sources, wells, and water recharge
areas. Septic tanks, storage or handling of hazardous waste, and industrial uses were to be
prohibited within 200 feet of potable water wellfields. Additional standards for areas between
200-400 feet of potable water wellfields and other high recharge areas were tc be adopted in
the land development regulations.
The City had already adopted an ordinance for water reuse. Additional policies were
recommended to promote even greater reuse in the City.
EXISTING REGULATIONS AND PROGRAMS
The primary agency directly responsible for the protection of natural drainage features and
groundwater recharge areas was the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD).
This state agency had been delegated with responsibility for permitting of any activity which
draws water to or from or is placed in or across open waters and wetlands. State regulations
regulated the construction of surface water management system and ensured the quality and
quantity of surface water discharges associated with urban, silvicultural and agricultural land
uses. The District also had a stormwater discharge permitting program which requires that
discharge meet state water quality standards. Any land alteration or construction activity which
created a discharge of stormwater off-site or which modified an existing stormwater discharge
had to obtain a permit under Chapter 17-25, F.A.C. The SJRWMD was in the process of
developing maps of prime recharge areas to assist local governments with protection of
. groundwater quality and quantity.
The SJRWMD, FDER, and FDHRS regulated activities associated with withdrawal of
groundwater. The water management district issued consumptive use permits for all uses
except potable water. The FDER had established drinking water standards, monitoring
requirement, construction standards and permitting requirements. Smaller water treatment
systems, and systems consisting of distribution and storage facilities were subject to
requirements of the FDHRS.
K. CAP/TAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Capital improvements were identified based on: 1) repair and replacement of existing facilities,
2) the need to correct existing deficiencies, and 3) needs generated by future growth within the
planning horizon.
The following inventory was concerned with those needed improvements which are of
relatively large scale, are of generally non-recurring high cost, and which may have required
multi-year financing. Below are detailed capital improvements identified at the time or plan
adoption for the years 1991 to 1997.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
Several roads were projected to need improvements during the planning time frame, including:
Vistawilla Drive, Shore Road S. ext., North loop (partial), Brantley Ave., Shepard Rd., Tuscora
Dr., Eagle Ridge Dr., and Shore Rd. N. Ext.
SANITARY SEWER
The Winter Springs West Sanitary Sewer System was projected to need effluent disposal
improvements during the planning period to meet future demand. An effluent disposal project
was currently under design and construction which would increase capacity to 1.56 MGD upon
completion of the project. The West treatment plant capacity was committed through
development agreement to the permitted capacity of 1.345 MGD. Therefore, additional
disposal capacity was needed to meet future connections of properties without development
agreements.
The Winter Springs East Sanitary Sewer System was projected to need improvements which
would include an emergency power generator to be installed at the wastewater treatment plant
in 1995-96.
POTABLE WATER
The Winter Springs West Water System was projected to need the following improvements
during the planning time period: the addition of a new well which would increase the available
capacity from 1.6 MGD to 3.0 MGD: generator relocation; and high service pump and
discharge piping improvements.
.
The Winter Springs East Water System was projected to need during the planning time period
the upgrade of a generator, changing out of pumps and driveway paving. The City also
projected a need for the construction of a new well during 1993-94 which would increase the
available capacity from 2.3 MGD to 3.7 MGD.
RECREATION
The City projected a need for a 59 acre community park, phase one of which was currently
under construction. By 1995, the City projections indicated a need for improvements to Eagle
Ridge Park.
Exhibit 1.K.1 provides a brief description of the above mentioned capital improvement projects
and provides an estimate of the projected total project cost.
PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL AND HEALTH FACILITIES
.
Based upon existing and future planning conducted by the County School Board and Seminole
County, additional public educational facilities would be needed in order to adequately satisfy
the projected demand and maintain adopted level of service standards as proposed in other
elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Indian Trails Middle School was under construction and
expected to be operational in 1992. The school board was evaluating sites on which to locate
a high school. Estimated start date for construction on this project was 1994.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
Public health needs within the City were determined adequately served by existing public
health facilities. Based upon existing and future planning conducted by the County and
regional health agencies, no additional public health facilities would be needed in order to
adequately satisfy the projected demand and maintain adopted level of service standards, as
proposed in other elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS OF EXISTING DEFICIENCIES AND FUTURE NEEDS
The total cost of capital improvements over the planning time frame was $14,298,633. Road
improvements accounted for approximately 66% of that cost; 17% for sewer improvements;
6% for potable water improvements; and 17% for recreational improvements. Projected costs
for capital improvements were distributed evenly over the first three years, and costs for the
last two years of the planning time frame were not expected to exceed one million dollars. No
revenue shortfalls were projected throughout the planning time frame, therefore it was
expected that all capital improvements would be adequately covered by the City's revenue
sources. Wastewater and water needs were to be funded by water/sewer connection fees and
revenue bonding. Revenue bonding capacity was projected to be sufficient to cover water and
sewer capital improvement needs throughout the planning time frame. The City had no
outstanding general obligation bonds, thus, general obligation bonding capacity was sufficient
to cover any future capital improvements, such as parks and recreation, to be financed in that
manner. If necessary, local road construction project bonding could have been supported by
revenues from the $.06 local option gas tax. The City also levied transportation impact fees to
finance road improvement needs.
FORECASTING OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES FOR FIVE YEARS
Exhibit 1.K.2 shows the expected general fund revenues available to the City for the fiscal
years ending 1992 through 1997. The projected expenditures are aggregated into the
categories of taxes, licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services,
fines and forfeitures, miscellaneous revenue, and transfers in.
Exhibit 1.K.2 also shows the expected general fund expenditures to be made by the City during
the fiscal years ending in 1992 through 1997. The projected expenditures were aggregated
into the categories of general government services, public safety, transportation,
culturelrecreation, capital improvements, transfers out and debt service.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AT TIME OF PLAN ADOPTION
Exhibit 1.K.3 shows the expenditures required to meet debt service obligations for outstanding
bond issues during the planning period. The City had three outstanding revenue bond issues:
a 1989 Series Refunding Revenue bond; a 1990 Series Water and Sewer Revenue bond to
finance the acquisition of the Seminole Utility Company; and a 1991 Series Water and Sewer
Refunding Revenue bond.
The City's tax base was expected to increase assuming a 12.5 percent rate of growth for the
non-exempt assessment of property, as shown in Exhibit 1.K.4. Exhibit 1.K.4 also shows the
projected assessment ratio and millage rate throughout the planning period.
Transportation impact fees are a source of revenue for the City. Exhibit 1.K.5 shows the history
and five year projections for these fees.
In addition to the capital costs of providing the needed facility improvements, the City would
also incur increases in annual operating costs. These are the recurring expenses associated
with routine operation of the capital facilities, such as supplies, utilities, maintenance and
personnel costs. The anticipated increase in annual operating costs associated with the
general government operation needs are shown in Exhibit 1.K.2 above as expenditures.

Development in Winter Springs has continued in an infill pattern. Since plan adoption, several
new residential subdivisions have been added along Northern Way and Winter Springs.
Medium density residential developments have been built along SR 419.
Three quadrants of the intersection of Tuskawilla Road and SR 434 have been developed with
convenience commercial uses since the plan was adopted, and a mini-storage facility has
been built on SR. 434. Two new schools have been built, one on Shepard Road and one on
Tuskawilla Road.
Development is continuing to maintain a pattern of compact urban growth. The City's
boundaries were expanded to include the Battle Ridge area located east of the Greeneway.
land use as of 1996 has been tabulated using geographic information system (GIS)
technology. GIS measures the area within districts by computer, and results in a greater
degree of accuracy than hand calculation. Acreage and percentage of land uses in 1996 are
included in Exhibit 2.A.3 The use of GIS has resulted in separating the tabulation of land and
water. This results in the apparent reduction in the amount of greenbelt and residential areas.
Where golf courses and residential areas included lakes or ponds, these water features are
now tabulated separately. This accounts for the apparent reduction of land devoted to
residential and greenbelt uses between 1990 and 1996. Map 2.A.1 on the following page
depicts the existing land use in Winter Springs.

Development of land in Winter Springs has retained the low density residential character which
existed at the time of plan adoption. Commercial development has increased outside the
community to provide service for Winter Springs residents. In March, 1998 the Oviedo.
Crossings mall was opened adjacent to the southeastern comer of Winter Springs. A hospital
is located adjacent to the mall. These facilities will continue to meet the needs of Winter
Springs residp.nts for the upcoming planning horizon.
Additional community-serving uses are planned for the town center, to be developed in the
area behind City Hall. The town center district already has a high school and a community
park, as well as municipal service uses. Planned development in this 230 acre district includes
community commercial, hotel, residential and recreational uses. The cross-Seminole trail is
planned to traverse the town center. Divided boulevards and focal points are being included in
the master plan for this area.
Additional greenbelt uses are being established by development of rails-to-trails facilities.
North-south traffic through the community is provided by Tuskawilla Road. Additional regional
road capacity is provided by the Greeneway. This limited access toll facility presently ends just
outside Winter Springs and continues south to connect with the Beeline toll facility to Cocoa,
to Orlando on the south, and to theme parks in Osceola County. S.R. 434 provides the
principal east-west circulation.
Local street improvements since plan adoption include paving of Shore Road in the North
Orlando Ranchlands from Sailfish Road to Panama Road. Panama Road is being developed
as an important interior collector street. Panama Road is under construction from Moss Road
to Edgemont Road. Construction plans are being prepared to complete Panama Road from
Moss Road to Shore Road. Hayes Road is being extended from Sailfish Road to Bahama
Road. Moss Road from Bahama Road to Panama Road is being improved. These
improvements to the collector road system north of Panama Road will provide enhanced local
service.
Utilities
Water and sewer utility services to new development have been provided in a manner
consistent with the demands of new growth. Drainage services have been augmented through
implementation of a master drainage plan prepared since the plan was adopted.
Drainage and paving improvements are underway on Orange Avenue between Second Street
and Clifton Avenue.
Population estimates and projections have been updated by the University of Florida. These
updated projections will be used to determine utility capacities.
The 1990 population of 22,683 was projected by the Winter Springs Planning Department to
increase to 37,537 by 2010. Recent projections prepared by the University of Florida project
faster rate of growth than was projected in the plan. The 2000 population is projected to be
30,992, the 2005 population is projected to be 35,823, and the 2010 population is projected to
be 40,626. This is an increase of 3,089 over the previous year 2010 population projection.

B. TRAFFIC CIRCULA TlON ELEMENT
North-south traffic through Winter Springs is served by lake Drive, Seminola Boulevard,
Tuskawilla Road and Winter Park Drive. East-west traffic is served by SR 44 and SR 419.
According to data provided by the Seminole County Planning Department, all roadways are
functioning at good average travel speeds. The calculated average travel speeds for county
and state roadways was calculated to provide level of Service "CO or better for all but one link
in one direction. This link, northbound Tuskawilla Road between Winter Springs Boulevard
and SR 434, provides average travel speeds at lOS D. According to use of the average travel
speed method of evaluation, the City's traffic system meets or exceeds level of service
standards.
When traffic volumes are considered, 1997 data indicate that more serious deficiencies exist.
Tuskawilla Road between Red Bug Lake Road and Winter Springs Boulevard was evaluated
at LOS F with daily volumes of 20,319 - 23,282. The results of this analysis is shown in Exhibit
2.B.1.
.
The adopted levels of service assumed that Tuskawilla Road would be widened before 1996.
The level of service standard which was adopted sets the LOS for Tuskawilla Road at "E"
through 1996. There is no stated lOS for a post-1996 condition. The improvements planned
for Tuskawilla Road have not been completed, and the roadway
is carrying volumes well in excess of the LOS "0" standard for a two lane road. Redrafting of
the level of service standard as an EAR-based amendment will provide greater specificity in
determining desired levels of service for Tuskawilla Road.

The Seminole County road improvement program indicates that the following roadways will be
improved from 2 to 4 lanes by the year 2002: Lake Drive, Seminola Boulevard, Tuskawilla
Road, and SR 434 from Tuskawilla Road to CR 419. Additional road improvements to be
added by 2013 include widening of SR 434 from 4 to 6 lanes between US 17/92 and SR 419.
Projected traffic volumes for 2013 are shown in Exhibit 2.B.2 It is assumed that lOS "E" is
established as the standard for Tuskawilla Road. Exhibit 2.B.2 indicates that several areas of
deficiency will exist in 2013: Seminola Boulevard, the southern portions of Tuskawilla Road,
and parts of SR 434 are projected to function far below desired levels of service. Additional
road improvements will be needed to address these deficiencies. Regional transit and rail
solutions will become increasingly prominent as future plans are developed to address greater
increases in traffic volume.

The intersection of SR 434 and Tuskawilla Road was the highest accident location in 1997,
with 22 accidents. Due to the method by which accident records are kept, the accident count
for SR 434 and Tuskawilla Road also includes accidents which occurred along SR 434 at
Wagner's Curve west of the intersection. Additional high accident sites were found at SR 434
and Belle Avenue (11 accidents in 1997), Tuskawilla Road and Winter Springs Boulevard (9
accidents in 1997), and SR 434 and SR 419 (7 accidents in 1997).
. The City's 1997 accident statistics show a marked increase from levels for 1988 reported in the
Comprehensive Plan. In 1988, only one intersection had more than 8 accidents per year. This
was the intersection of Hayes Road and SR 434. There were no reported accidents at the
comer of Tuskawilla Road and SR 434; however 3 accidents (including one fatality) occurred
on SR 434 at Wagner's Curve. The intersection of Tuskawilla Road and Winter Springs
Boulevard had 6 accidents in 1988, compared to 9 accidents in 1997.
C. CONSER VA TION ELEMENT
SURFACE WATER RESOURCES
Conservation plans were advanced through preparation of a master stormwater plan
completed in 1993. This plan addresses water quantity and water quality improvements
needed in Winter Springs.
WATER NEEDS AND SOURCES
In 1994 the SJRWMD published Water SUDDlv Needs and Sources Assessment to identify
areas in which water resources have become critical or are projected to become critical during
the next 20 years. According to the SJRWMD, threats to the aquifer in Winter Springs appear
to be in a moderate range

. Reductions in the volume of water flowing through natural springs was also predicted. Among
the springs located in the vicinity of Winter Springs are Lake Jesup Spring and lake Jesup.
Lake Jesup Spring was expected to experience a reduction in discharge of 30.6% between
1990 and 2010. This is a reduction from 1.0 to 0.7 cubic feet per second (cfs). Lake Jesup
was expected to experience a decline of 24.6% between 1990 and 2010. This is a reduction
from 5.6 to 4.2 cfs. These springs are located in the St. John's River subbasin, for which
minimum discharges had not been established at the time the Needs and Sources
Assessment was made (1994). However, the assessment concluded that a projected
decrease of 15% or more in discharge to a spring was considered to be enough decrease to
pose a reasonable likelihood of natural systems problems and to warrant further investigation
in order to establish minimum discharges.
EXISTING AND POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL, RECREATIONAL AND CONSERVATION USES
Natural resource based lands owned by the SJRWMD are located adjacent to Lake Jesup in
Seminole County.
Connections between resource areas will be facilitated by completion of the State-supported
recreational trail system.

The need for affordable housing units was calculated by the University of Florida based on
income statistics reported in the 1990 Census and standard housing affordability guidelines
used. Affordability needs were projected through 2010. The results of this evaluation are
shown in Exhibit 2.0.4 Shortfalls of affordable units are indicated by a (-) sign. The analysis of
demand by income category indicates that at the present time, the City of Winter Springs has
an adequate supply of middle and upper income rental housing (Income over 80% of area .
median) , and of upper income (income over 120% of area median) owner-occupied rental
housing. Housing for lower income families (below 80%) is in short supply. Housing for
families in lower income ranges frequently is not provided by the private market. Use of state
(SHIP or tax credit) programs can assist moderate income families in meeting housing needs.
lower income families (50% of median and below) generally are clients of public housing.
.
In the future, there is a predicted need for additional housing for all income groups. Housing
for middle and upper income households can generally be found in the private market. Lower
income households are restricted in housing choices by available subsidies. There is less
incentive for private providers to serve this sector of the community, and fewer housing
opportunities are created.

Capital projects for 1997-98 include construction of tennis courts at Torcaso Park and
reconditioning of softball fields at Trotwood Park.
F. SOLID WASTE SUB-ELEMENT
Uniform collection of solid waste has been established since adoption of the comprehensive
plan. Solid waste is collected by a private hauler for disposal in landfills in Seminole County.
In 1996, average collected volume was
. Billed service in 1996 totaled $1,268,151.
G. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT
Potable water in Winter Springs continues to be supplied by the City's utility system. Water is
drawn from underground sources through deep wells, and provided with aeration and storage.
The distribution system is owned and managed by the City. Two separate systems, one for
Winter Springs West and one for Winter Springs East, are maintained. There is no system
interconnection.
Since the comprehensive plan was adopted, one new well has been added in Winter Springs
West. Capacities for water the water system are shown in Exhibit 2.G.1.

In addition to pumping capacity, the City has added a one million gallon storage tank to the
water system since the plan was adopted. -
The potable water system presently serves 29,284 customers in residential and commercial
accounts. There are relatively few commercial accounts. As of January 1998, the City had
112 commercial accounts on the Winter Springs East system and 357 commercial accounts on

the Winter Springs West system. Average daily demand for water was 2.284 mgd for the
Winter Springs East plant and 1.535 for the Winter Springs West plant. The combined system
provided 3.819 mgd.
The adopted level of service criteria for water was 115 gallons per person per day. At the
adopted levels of service, it appears that the minimum criteria for service have been met.
Based on an estimated population of 27,000 persons, the delivered rate of water consumption
was 141 gallons per person per day. This is in excess of the adopted level of service standard.
Planned expansion in 1998 is projected to add an additional 2.000 GPM to the Winter Springs
East system. This will provide the capacity to serve approximately 8,400 additional persons.
H. SANITARY SEWER SUB-ELEMENT
The sanitary sewer system has been maintained as an enterprise function of the City of Winter
Springs. The system presently (1998) has 27,329 customers. Areas with water service
provided by the City of Casselberry, Seminole County and Seminole Pines which were on
septic tanks at the time of the comprehensive plan, are still on septic systems. However, a
new section of Seminole Pines which is presently being permitted, will be on City sewer.
Treatment capacity has been expanded with the addition of a 1 million gallon storage tank to
the West Wastewater Treatment Plant. A Reeves pumping system and reclaimed water mains
have been added. These enhancements have increased the capacity of the west plant to
. 2.25 mgd.
Expansion plans were implemented to upgrade the East Wastewater Treatment Plant with the
addition of a 3 million gallon storage tank in 1996. An expanded pumping system is being
installed, and closed storage has been added.
Effluent disposal is conducted by rapid infiltration basins (RIBs) and spray irrigation.
Residential irrigation is accomplished on the Winter Springs West system at the present time.
Expansion of residential irrigation to the Winter Springs East system is expected in 1998. An
interconnection system for distribution of reclaimed water is planned for construction in 1999.
Levels of service were set at 100 gallons per person per day for both the Winter Springs West
facility and Winter Springs East facility. In 1995, the population in Winter Springs was 25,673.
There were 27,329 sewer customers, of which an estimated 550 were non-residential.
Average daily flow for 1997 was 0.906 mgd for the Winter Springs East facility, and 1.144
MDG for the Winter Springs West facility, for a combined average daily flow of 2.050. The
combined capacity of the treatment systems 4.237 mgd. This is well below the average. daily
flows. Based on the adopted level of service, there is an excess of capacity. The level of
service objective for sewer service has been met.

I. DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT
A master stormwater plan was completed in 1993. This three-volume study identified
deficiencies in the policies and regulations governing stormwater management, projected
future stormwater facility needs, developed a capital improvement program, and analyzed
funding alternatives for stormwater management. The report discussed site-specific drainage
basin parameters and presented the results of hydrological and hydraulic analysis. Capacity of
existing stormwater facilities were noted, as were needs and probable costs of improvements.
The following sections present summaries of material included in the master stormwater plan.
The City of Winter Springs lies in three primary drainage basins; Soldiers Creek, Gee Creek
and Howell Creek. The master stormwater study addressed these six secondary drainage
systems, which are tributary to the primary basins. These were identified as:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.

Lands)
Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System V (Tuskawilla Unit 14)
Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System VI (Tuskawilla Units 11 Band 12A)
Necessary drainage improvements were identified throughout the developed areas of the City.
A one-year capital improvement program was included to provide limited in Secondary Basins
I, II, and Vi. A five-year capital improvement program was proposed to provide the following
improvements:

Annual budgeting for stormwater management was estimated to be $592,300 for the near
term. This included an allocation of $135,050 per year for master plan improvements and
$250,000 per year for operation and maintenance. Estimated revenues based on the then-
current utility rate was $250,800 per year. Alternatives for additional revenue included
increases in the stormwater utility rate of $2.04 per equivalent residential unit, bonding, or
interlocal agreements to enhance payments from outside. Stormwater management fees
collected for 1996 totaled $429,893.
Recommendations of the Master Drainage Plan included establishment of an enhanced
operation and maintenance program for the existing system, improved cost accounting and
record keeping, improved base mapping and database management. Additional study was

J. NATURAL GROUNDWA TER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB-ELEMENT
Aquifer recharge is monitored by the St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD).
In 1994 the SJRWMD published Water Suoolv Needs and Sources Assessment to identify
areas in which water resources have become critical or are projected to become critical during
the next 20 years. The needs and sources assessment was intended to be revised every 5
years. Four primary resource factors were considered: impacts to natural systems, impacts to
ground water systems, impacts to legal users, and failure to identify an adequate supply
source. Water uses for public supply were projected through the year 2010. Areas of critical
water resource limitations were identified in Seminole County as a result of projected increases
in demand. There were no critical water resource limitations identified at the present time in
Seminole County.
Water demand for domestic pUblic supply, recreation and agricultural irrigation in Seminole
County was projected to increase from 50.79 mgd in 1990 to 80.71 mgd in 2010, an increase
of 59%. Demand on the City of Winter Springs system was projected to increase from 3.6
mgd to 5.8 mgd during the same period, and increase of 61%.
.
Groundwater was evaluated in the surficial aquifer, intermediate aquifer and Floridan aquifer.
Water quality in the surficial aquifer was generally considered good, except for excessive iron
concentrations. Water quality in the intermediate aquifer system was also considered
generally good. Water quality in the Floridan aquifer varies depending on the location. In the
southern and eastern portions of the SJRWMD (including parts of Seminole County), chloride
concentrations generally exceed the secondary drinking water standards. The Floridan aquifer
is the primary source of public water supply in Seminole County.
Aquifer drawdowns were predicted using projected growth in demand. Aquifer drawdowns
were predicted to reduce the potentiometric surface in southwestern Seminole County by up to
25 feet. The surficial aquifer system in Seminole County was predicted to decline by over 2.5
feet in western areas.
Saltwater intrusion was determined to be a principal impact of increased drawdowns. Water
resource problems related to saltwater intrusion were considered to be critical in areas where
chloride concentrations in the water in the Floridan aquifer result in an inadequate thickness of
water with quality suitable to supply existing or projected uses, where declines in the
potentiometric surface contribute to this condition, or where projected groundwater withdrawals
contribute to this decline. The level of the 250-mg/L isocholr was identified as the critical
variable. The 250 mg/L concentration is the maximum chloride concentration permitted by the
EPA in public drinking water. Although water with excessive chlorides can be treated to meet
minimum standards, these treatment methods are more expensive. It was not expected that
this critical level would be reached in Seminole County.

Among the recommendations of the Needs and Sources Assessment was the establishment of
an expanded set of monitor wells throughout the SJRWMD. Four of these wells are proposed
to be located in Winter Springs. Additional studies to pursue alternative water supply
strategies were proposed to be conducted by the SJRWMD during the upcoming years.
With the presently-available levels of analysis, threats to the aquifer in Winter Springs appear
to be in a moderate range - less severe than in Brevard and Orange Counties, but more
severe than in more rural areas.
Reductions in the volume of water flowing through natural springs was also predicted. Among
the springs located in the vicinity of Winter Springs are Lake Jesup Spring and Lake Jesup.
lake Jesup Spring was expected to experience a reduction in discharge of 30.6% between
1990 and 2010. This is a reduction from 1.0 to 0.7 cubic feet per second (cfs). Lake Jesup
was expected to experience a decline of 24.6% between 1990 and 2010. This is a reduction
from 5.6 to 4.2 cfs. These springs are located in the St. John's River subbasin, for which
minimum discharges had not been established at the time the Needs and Sources
Assessment was made (1994). However, the assessment concluded that a projected
decrease of 15% or more in discharge to a spring was considered to be enough decrease to
pose a reasonable likelihood of natural systems problems and to warrant further investigation
in order to establish minimum discharges. Within the entire SJRWMD, reductions in spring
volumes ranged from no predicted reduction in Putnam County to predicted reduction of 70%
at Blue Springs in Lake County.
K. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
The City of Winter Springs includes capital expenditures as part of the annual budgeting
process. Local capital improvements to expand facilities have occurred in transportation,
water, sewer, stormwater and parks systems.
Wastewater treatment capacity has been expanded for both the east and west systems. A 1
million gallon storage tank has been added to the West Wastewater Treatment Plant, along
with a Reeves pumping system and reclaimed water mains. These enhancements have
increased the capacity of the west plant to 2.25 mgd. Expansion plans were implemented to
upgrade the East Wastewater Treatment Plant with the addition of a 3 million gallon storage
tank in 1996. An expanded pumping system is being installed, and closed storage has been
added.
Since the comprehensive plan was adopted, one new well has been added in Winter Springs
West.
Additional bonded debt was issued in 1993. The amount of this bond issue was
Funds from this bond issue were used for . Debt service for this bond issue for
1996 totaled $50,000 for principal and $476,413 for interest. Revenues were allocated from
public service franchise taxes and utility franchise taxes to pay debt service.
Capital improvement budget amounts for 1997-98 total $335,000. These funds are budgeted

for improvements to existing City facilities. Utility bonds issued in 1998-96 yielded revenue
proceeds of $3,025,000. These funds are proposed to be expended in 1997-98. Water and
sewer operating funds were programmed for irrigation on SR 434 and Tuskawilla Road.
Capital projects for 1997-98 include construction of tennis courts at Torcaso Park and
reconditioning of softball fields at Trotwood Park.
Transportation fund expenditures were programmed for resurfacing, sidewalk improvements,
and improvements to Wagners Curve. Transportation impact fees were earmarked for
improvements to Panama Road and installation of stacking lanes on Hayes Road.
Expenditures of transportation impact fees was budgeted at $990,000 for 1997-98.
Stormwater utility fees in 1997-98 were programmed for improvements to Section 5 North
Orlando Ranches, for the Lombardy Canal at Moss Road. The cost of programmed
improvements was budgeted at $114,000.
Indian Trails Middle School was completed after plan adoption. Winter Springs High School,
located in the town center area north of City Hall, was constructed since the plan was adopted.
L. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORD/NATION ELEMENT
Intergovernmental coordination of planning issues is presently (1998) operating under the
same framework as at the time of plan adoption. Additional intergovernmental coordination
was recognized as an important implementing mechanism for drainage improvements, which
were outlined in the Master Stormwater Plan. Coordination is needed to provide funding and
rights-of-way when drainage improvements are planned to provide service to both incorporated
and unincorporated areas.
Intergovernmental coordination of annexation is being fostered by Seminole County.
Agreements affecting the communities of Winter Springs, Casselberry and Oviedo are under
development to determine the future annexation areas of each municipality.
The East Central Regional Planning Council is undergoing changes in orientation. Orange
County has declined to pay membership dues, and the Council is in the process of revising its
mission.

INTRODUCTION
The following matrix provides a comparison of the plan's objectives and policies with the
current conditions and results as of the date of the study. It evaluates whether or not the
targets established by the plans objectives and policies have been met or not. This matrix
provides an "at a glance" performance evaluation of the plan's effectiveness with respect to
the results achieved by each objective and policy (target). Data and analysis provided in the
previous sections were utilized in the comparison.
In instances where the plan's policy statements provided measurable targets those policy
statements were used as is. If the plan's policy statements did not provide measurable targets
then measurable target statements were formulated under the "Measurable Target" column.
In the following matrix the first (left hand) column of the table restates the plan's objectives.
The second column (Measurable Targets) expresses the policies of each objective in
measurable terms.
The third column (Baseline Conditions) summarizes the condition of each measurable target at
the time of plan adoption. If the column is blank, no condition target was available or there
was no baseline condition to report.
The fourth column (Current Conditions) presents the current status of the measurable target.
The fifth column (Objective Achieved) indicates y = yes, n = no, 0 = ongoing, p = partially; to
indicate the status of the objective and the various measurable targets under that objective.
Additionally, commentary may be provided in the form of a recommendation or assessment of
the issue.
Recommendations related to this section, and all sections, are contained in Section VI.

IV. STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES
A. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Future Land Use Element was prepared consistent with the provisions of Chapter 18,
F.S., also known as the 1985 State Comprehensive Plan (SCP). The goals, objectives and
policies of the Future Land Use Element were consistent with the goal and policies of the SCP,
as stated in Section 187.201 (20) of the Florida Statutes. The SCP was amended in 1993;
however none of the State's goal and policy statements directly relates to the Winter Springs
Futufe Land Use Element. Thefefore, the Futufe Land Use Element remains consistent with
the SCP, as amended.
REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
The 1990/2000 Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan was prepared consistent with the
provisions of the ECFRPC Regional Policy Plan (RPP). As a result of changes in State
legislation, the ECFRPC has recently prepared the mandated Interim Strategic Regional Policy
Plan (SRPP) which replaces the RPP. The following is a summary of the consistency issues
between the Winter Spfings Comprehensive Plan and the new SRPP.
Policy 6.2. Local land use plans should implement activity centers, where appropriate,
through land use controls and incentives. This policy encourages the location of high density
activity centers to support regional mass tfansit plans. It also encourages mixed use
development patterns and connections between activity centers and adjacent land uses to
allow for alternative modes of transportation to reduce the need to access area collector
highways. The City's Future Land Use Element does not specifically designate activity
centers; however, the plan does provide opportunities for mixed use land use patterns and
promotes higher intensity land uses in areas that can be supported by mass transit.
Policy 6.3. Areas suitable for increased office and hotel DRI threshold intensities as provided
in Section 380.0651 (3)(d)(3) and (3)(g)(2), F.S. Areas suitable for increased DRI thresholds
have not been identified in Winter Springs and no areas appear to be suitable for that intensity
of development.
Policy 6.8. Designation of metropolitan activity centers shall be implemented through an
area-specific comprehensive planning process. No opportunity exists to plan for a
metropolitan activity center in Winter Springs.
Policy 6.10. This policy relates to Policy 6.3, which relates to the consideration of petitioning
to decrease or increase DRI thresholds in activity centers.
Policy 6.16. Growth management policies and land development strategies shall be based on
quantifiable data developed in conjunction with neighboring juriSdictions and, where

.
appropriate, consistent with area wide projections and forecasts. Winter Springs is an integral
part of the regional economy of the Greater Orlando Area. The regional economy provides
jobs for Winter Springs residents and, conversely, Winter Springs provides housing for jobs
created in other counties. The land use allocation for certain categories, specifically office and
industrial, should be considefed regionally as well as locally.
Policy 6.20. This policy encourages the location of major cultural and civic uses such as
convention centefs in downtown locations. Uses such as a major convention centers would not
be appropriately located in Winter Springs.
CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTES
In 1992, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended to add Section 163.3177(11), F.S. It
recognized the need for innovative planning and development strategies to address the
anticipated continued urbanization of the coast and other environmental sensitive areas. It
stated that plans should allow land use efficiencies within existing urban areas; and should
also allow for the conversion of rural lands to other uses; and finally, provided that plans and
land development fegulations should maximize the use of existing facilities and services
through redevelopment, urban infill, and other stfategies for urban revitalization. The Future
Land Use Element objectives and policies address these new issues; therefore, the Future
Land Use Element is also consistent with Section 163.3177(11), F.S.
.
In 1993, Section 163.3164, Definitions of Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended to add
definitions for "downtown revitalization", "urban redevelopment", .urban infill", "projects that
promote public transportation", and "existing urban service area." Changes to the Future Land
Use Element sections will be acknowledged and properly addfessed through the EAR
amendment process.
Other significant provisions of Section 163.3180, F.S. permit exceptions from the concurrency
requirements for tfansportation facilities. A local government may grant such exceptions if: 1)
the proposed development pfomotes public transportation or is located within an area
designated in the comprehensive plan for: urban infill development, urban redevelopment or
downtown revitalization; 2) development located in the above listed areas pose only special
part-time demands on the transportation system; 3) development is considered a de-minimus
impact as defined by state law; 4) development is located in an area designated in the
compfehensive plan as a transportation concurrency area (TCMA). In addition, Section
163.3180(9), F.S. provides for a long term transportation concurrency management system
addressing backlogged tfansportation facilities, and Section 163.3180(11) F.S., provides for
private contributions to local govemment capital improvement planning. Finally, Section
163.3180(10) F.S., fequires that local governments adopt the FOOT LOS standards for
facilities on the Florida Intfastate Highway System (FIHS).
Section 163.3164, F.S. was amended to add definitions for downtown revitalization, urban
redevelopment, urban infill, pfojects that promote public transportation, and existing urban
service area. These definitions were added to clarify terminology used in section 163.3180,
F.S. regarding transportation concurrency exceptions. These terms must be incorporated in
the Capital Improvements Element or the City's Concurrency Management Program.

STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES
.
Section 163.3180, F.S. regarding concurrency requirements is a new section that was added
to Chapter 163 in 1993. This new section defines which public facilities and services are
subject to the concurrency requirement and clarifies that sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage
and potable water facilities shall be in place to serve development no later than the issuance
by the local govemment of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent. Parks and
recreation facilities must be in place or under construction no later than one year after
issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Finally, the statute specifies that transportation.
facilities needed to serve development shall be in place or under construction no more that 3
years after issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The City's concurrency management
program must include these requirements to be consistent with the provision noted above.
RULE 9J-5
Subsection 9J-5.006, F.A.C., sets the ovefall element requirements for the Land Use Element.
Since 1990 there have been several amendments to this section which apply to Winter
Springs, including the following:
. New requifement to base the Element on population pfojection as prescribed in the
general requirements section of the Section.
.
New requirement for objectives which coofdinate future land uses by encouraging the
elimination or reduction of uses that are inconsistent with any interagency hazard
mitigation report fecommendations.
.
. New requirement to display the location of transportation concurrency management
area boundaries, if any, on the future land use map.
. New requirement to review plans and plan amendments with the objective of
discouraging urban sprawl. Indicators have been adopted which will be used to
evaluate plan amendments. Among these indicators are a detennination whether the
plan amendment(s) allow development of low-density, low-intensity uses or single-use
development in excess of demonstrated need. The Winter Springs Future Land Use
Plan pfovides an analysis of land use needs, based on demand and supply. This
appears to meet the requirements of 9J-5. Policies for review of plan amendments are
recommended to be adopted, to include an analysis of development consistent with
need as a consideration for approval. There are a number of additional urban sprawl
indicators included in the rule, for example, maximization of existing or planned public
facilities, the extent to which development pays for itself, the existing pattem of built
and vested development, and development controls. The Winter Springs Policy
revisions afe recommended to specifically enumerate the City's commitment to prevent
urban sprawl, consistent with the indicators in the rule.
. Added or revised definitions for "manufactured home", "residential population", "potable
water wellfield", "seasonal population", and "urban sprawl" will be addressed in the plan
update. Estimates and projections of seasonal population were included in the

1990/2000 Compfehensive Plan and will be reviewed as part of the plan amendment
process.
.
Requirement that goals, objectives and policies establish meaningful and predictable
standards for the use and development of land.
The Future Land Use map will be revised to include potable waterwells and wellfield protection
areas. Appropriate land uses in wellfield protection areas will be addressed through
application of Wellfield Protection requirements. These requirements will be recognized in
plan objectives and pOlicies; making the comprehensive plan consistent with that requirement.
Mixed land use policies are required to addfess pennitted uses, densities and intensities
pennitted within the category. Winter Springs policies do that.
Revised requirements to Section 9J-5 direct revisions to marina siting and dredge spoil
disposal sites. The compfehensive plan must include countywide marina siting plan
recommendations. The Future Land Use Element must identify and map existing dredge and
spoil sites, as well as the need for additional spoil disposal sites. This requirement is not
applicable to Winter Springs.
Many of the revisions to Chaptef 9J-5 addfess hazard mitigation, hurricane planning, and
coastal high hazard areas. The coastal high hazard area must be shown on the Future Land
Use Map. This will require a map amendment. This requirement is not applicable to Winter
Springs.
. Further detailed review of the existing land use map may be required to recognize changes in
land uses of adjacent pfoperties.
The requirement for concurrency management is being addressed by the community; wording
which conforms to the revised definitions will be provided as a plan amendment. Specifically,
compliance with provisions of 9J-5.0055 which establishes requirements for the concurrency
management system will be demonstrated. The Capital Improvement Element includes
policies and objectives which require maintenance of adopted levels of service, establish a
financially feasible plan for maintaining levels of service, monitoring and "vesting" provisions.
These will be codified in the City's land development regulations anticipated to be updated in
1998; therefore, compliance with these revised provisions of 9J-5 will be achieved.
In summary, the Futufe Land Use Element addresses most of these new requirements.
Amendments for compliance with new regulations will be processed as part of the EAR-based
amendment cycle.
B. TRAFFIC CIRCULA TION ELEMENT

Addresses the requirements for a Concurrency Management System. In 1994 the rule
was amended to include minimum criteria related to the Concurrency provisions in
Section 163.3180, F.S.
2. The rule referencing concurrency exception areas was amended to provide minimum
standards in relation to a long-term concurrency management system. Winter Springs
currently has no concurrency exception areas.
3. Revisions to State law require that urban communities located in MPO areas are
required to reflect mobility as opposed to traffic issues. This is to insure consistency
with the lntermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (lSTEA). This approach
requires a change in focus to include bicycle, pedestrian, aviation, rail, sea, and mass
transportation in the planning process. Winter Springs will need to rename the Traffic
Circulation Element-Transportation Elemenr. Goals, objectives, and policies relating
to mobility will need to be added.
4. The level of service standards for Florida Intrastate Highway Roadways (FIHS) will
need to be revised due to changes in 9J-5.007 (3)(C)1.
C. CONSERVATION ELEMENT
The 1993 version of the State Comprehensive Plan includes a new goal under (6) Health, to
achieve an environment that supports a healthy population. Policies under that goal address
the right to drink pUfe water and breathe clean air, monitoring and regulating activities that
impact air and water quality and ensuring that future growth does not affect the environment in
a manner that will adversely affect the health of the population.
The Winter Springs Conservation Element as adopted includes goals which address air and
water quality, and is considered consistent with the amendments to the State Comprehensive
Plan which relate to public health.
CHAPTER 163.F.S.
There have been no changes to Chapter 163 which amend the requirements for the local
conservation element.
STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
The Interim Strategic Policy Plan has been issued in draft. The Winter Springs Conservation
Element Does not further implementation of regional objective 4.5 (Xeriscape planting) for
water resources. Additional objectives for protection of water resources (Objectives 4.1 - 4.4
and ~.7 - 4.13) are addressed as areas of local initiative in the Winter Springs Conservation
Element. Objective 4.6, which addresses potable surface water supplies, is not relevant to
Winter Springs, which uses groundwater for drinking. Objectives 4.9-4.11 and 4.13 are

principally implemented through pennitting authority of the Water Management Districts.
The following regional water resource conservation objectives which are also addressed in the
Winter Springs Conservation Element: Objective 4.3 regarding protection of prime aquifer
recharge areas; Objective 4.4 regarding reuse of non-potable water for irrigation; and
Objective 4.8 regarding limitations on development based on available water supply, and
Objective 4.12 regarding local government concurrency and conservation ordinances.
However, Objective 4.7 regarding wellfield protection is not specifically addressed.
Interim Strategic Regional Policy Plan Objectives 4.14-4.16 address floodplains. The City's
conservation element and proposed land development regulations address floodplain
management and implement regional Objectives 4.14 and 4.16. Objective 4.15 which
addresses floodplain restoration is not addressed in the Conservation Element.
Objectives 4.23-4.25 address wetlands. Objectives 4.23 and 4.24 are addressed in the Winter
Springs Conservation Element. Objective 4.26 addresses protection of natural upland plant
communities within open space requirements mandated by local governments. This is
implemented through policy requirements in the conservation element.
Wildlife habitat is addressed in Objectives 4.27- 4.33. Wildlife habitat is not specifically
addressed in the Conservation Element. The following issues which are addressed in the
Interim Strategic Regional Policy Plan should be considered for inclusion in the Conservation
Element: identification and acquisition of wildlife habitat corridors (Objectives 4.26 and 4.27);
securing legal agreements of site-related preservation areas (Objective 4.28); establishment of
buffer zones (Objective 4.29); protection of diverse species (Objective 4.30); local
management plans for site-related preservation areas (Objective 4.31); preservation of critical
habitat for listed species (Objective 4.32); and appropriate agricultural management practices
to implement conservation Objectives (4.33)
CHAPTER 9J-5, FAC.
Chapter 9J-5 requifes the Conservation Element to include an identification and analysis of
groundwater resources. The Winter Springs Conservation Element will need to be amended to
address this issue.
Wetland protection and conservation is addressed in the conservation element; therefore, the
Winter Springs Conservation Element is consistent with recently-amended requirements.

STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council has not adopted a Strategic Regional
Policy Plan (SRPP). Adoption of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan is pending. The SRPP will
be used to guide the preparation of amendments to the Winter Springs Housing Element, as
appropriate. The Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan is presently the binding regional
planning document. This plan was in effect at the time the Winter Springs Housing Element
was adopted.
CHAPTER 163 F.S.
Amendments to Chapter 163 added a requirement that local government housing address the
provision of housing for all current and anticipated future residents of the jurisdiction. The
Winter Springs Housing Element includes an objective to provide, or support the provision by
the private sector, of new housing units to meet the housing demand of current and future
residents. The wording of this objective will be revised to be consistent with Chapter 163.
The Housing Element is required to addfess the provision of housing for very low-income
individuals. This is not addressed in the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, and will be
included as an EAR-based amendment.
The Housing Element is required to address the creation or preservation of affordable housing
to minimize the need for additional local services and avoid the concentration of affordable
housing units only in specific afeas of the City. The Winter Springs Housing Element includes
an objective which addfesses the preservation of the community's housing stock. An
additional objective will be presented as an EAR-based amendment which addresses the siting
of affordable housing. Avoidance of concentrations of affordable units will be presented as a
new policy.
Amendments to Chapter 163 mandated the preparation of it housing needs assessment by the
Department of Community Affairs. This needs assessment has been received, and the results
have been included within the EAR.
SECTION 9J-5, FAC.
There have been a number of changes to Rule 9J-5 which will affect the update of the Housing
Element of tile Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan. Several definitions have been added to
this section which will affect the Housing Element of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan.
Definitions have been added for adjusted family size, Adjusted gross income, Affordable
housing, low income household, moderate income household, very low income family, and
very low income household. These definitions will be considered in the update of the Data and
Analysis, and will be considefed in the preparation of EAR-based amendments.
The purpose of the element has been revised by Section 9J-5 to more specifically focus on

addressing housing need for those sectors of the population who are not traditionally served
by the private market. There is an emphasis on inclusion of the results of the affordable
housing needs assessment, which was assigned to the Department of Community Affairs for
preparation. The results of this assessment have been included in the EAR and will be the
basis for EAR-based amendments.
The Housing Element must include an objective for the creation and/or preservation of
affordable housing for all current and anticipated future residents of the jurisdiction. The
Housing Element currently includes a housing preservation objective; this objective and
related policies will be the subject of an EAR-based amendment to emphasize the need to
preserve affordable housing.
An amendment to Section 9J-5 included the provision of sites and principles for location of
housing for very low income persons. This emphasis will be included as an EAR-based plan
amendment. Siting policies are recommended to be added to address Affordable housing.
The establishment of extra-territorial solutions to affordable housing concerns is supported by
amendments to 9J-5. If the community has unusually high property values, or if provision of
affordable housing would place additional units toward coastal high hazard areas, affordable
housing solutions may be sought through interlocal agreements with other governments.
Interlocal agreements between Winter Springs other cities and the County may be an
appropriate mechanism for all Seminole County communities to meet affordable housing
demand. Appfopriate consideration for all parties would be the requirement for a successful
interlocal agfeement negotiation.
A policy is requifed to be established which addresses streamlined permitting and minimization
of costs and delays for the provision of affordable housing. This will be provided as an EAR-
based amendment. An additional requirement was included in 9J-5 to address designation of
sufficient sites at sufficient densities to accommodate the need for affordable housing over the
time frame of the plan. Winter Springs has sufficient affordable housing at single and multi-
family densities. Evidence of this adequacy is included in the Future Land Use Element.
E. RECREA TION/OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Section 187.201(10), F.S. (Natural Systems and Recreational Lands) contains a goal and

SECTION 9J-5, FAC.
Section 9J-5 revisions require identification and analysis of freshwater beaches and shores in
the Recreation and Open Space Element. Although there are freshwater bodies in Winter
Springs, most are small, or serve as agricultural or drainage features. Lake Jesup is the
northern bOfder of Winter Springs. The need for ffeshwater beaches will be considered in
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. The Recreation and Open Space Element as
adopted is consistent with this provision of State law, and no amendment is required to
achieve compliance.
Revision to Section 9J-5 requires the depiction of futufe recreational uses, within generalized
service area boundaries, on the Future Land Use Plan Map. To the extent that sites are
designated in advance of acquisition, they will be identified as potential future recreation sites.
However, if private properties are shown as future recreation sites, nothing will be construed to
deny development rights unless appropriate compensation is provided to the owner.
F. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT

PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
. V. PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
A. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT
Problem: Delay in production of Regional Plan
An interim Strategic Regional Policy Plan was distributed in October, 1997. The delay
in distribution of this plan has the effect of reducing the effectiveness of the regional
plan in the planning process.
Opportunity: Lynx expands regional transit network
The economic integfation of the Orlando metropolitan area is gfeatly enhanced by the
operation of LYNX as a regional transit system. Winter Springs may want to pursue
this opportunity in the futufe. Access to Mass transit may assist the low and moderate
income members of the community to more easily access the employment centers near
Orlando.
Problem: School board and municipal government cooperation in parks
.
There is little or no cooperation among the municipalities, the school board and the
City. Joint planning for parks and recreational trails would greatly enhance park and
open space opportunities for the citizens of Winter Springs and the County. Joint use
of school sites for outdoor recreation will provide more opportunities for all parties.
Additional cooperation in school site selection and development may be mandated by
changes in State legislation. .
Additional areas for cooperation exist in expanding school library, education and indoor
recreation functions.
B. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Opportunity: Adequate capacity for growth
The utility systems in Winter Springs are positioned to accommodate projected growth.
In 1997, the city provided potable water to an estimated 27,000 people at an average
of 3.8 million gallons per day (mgd). The sewer systems had treatment capacity for
4.237 mgd in 1997, and volume of 2.05 mgd.
It does not appear that water and sewer capacity will present a constraint to meeting
the land use objectives of the comprehensive plan.
Problem: Monitoring and organizing data to Implement Concurrency
Management
.
As the City implements a concurrency management system, it will be necessary to
develop and maintain a data base of all utility and public facility systems.
V-1
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
.
c. CONSERVA TION ELEMENT
Opportunity: New resources to provide better mapping of conservation
areas
The Conservation Element provides objectives and policies to address protection of
surface and gfoundwater resources. However, since the time of plan adoption the
infonnation resources of the St. Johns River Water Management Districts become
available over electronic (GIS) media. In order to provide more complete data and
analysis, these new map resources should be used to adjust the Conservation districts
on the FLUP Map.
.
It is recommended that wetland areas remain and be updated on the Future Land Use
map or map series as conservation areas. There are two persuasive reasons
supporting this recommendation. The first is that, due to permitting regulations,
wetlands are fegulated and restricted from development. By showing wetlands as
conservation areas, Winter Springs' plan will not increase the level of restriction on
these areas, but will simply recognize the extent of afeas presumed to be under the
regulatory control of implementing agencies. The second rationale for including
conservation areas is to make the plan a more accurate reflection of the future use and
density of land development. Using the mapping fesources which have recently
become available, the plan can make a better approximation of the amount of land and
the potential population which can actually be developed. .
Problem: Connections and operating policies for preserved areas
The Conservation Element policies for conservation areas are limited to those which
are administered by the Water Management District. These are generally limited to
wetlands and buffer areas. The local plan does not provide direction for management
or access to these lands after preservation. There afe opportunities for implementing
resource protection objectives by establishing policies for transfer of development
rights, management and ownership of areas to be preserved. Wetlands and buffers,
which are preserved through the pennitting process, should be recognized as integral
links within larger natural systems. Where appropriate, public access should be one
considefation in linking open space. Where public access is not appropriate, securing
wildlife corridors should be included as part of the pennitting issues.
Opportunity: "Greenbelts"
.
A principal purpose of mandatory planning legislation was the desire to confine future
development to logical extensions of existing urban areas. In Winter Springs, the limits
of urban development are established by Lake Jesup on the North and surrounding
incorporated communities on the east, west and south.. The Future Land Use Element
and the Conservation Element, when considered together, can provide the basis of a
gfeenbelt designation within the updated Comprehensive Plan.
V-2
.
.
.
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The mechanics of the gfeenbelt designation would require that conservation uses
shown on the Future Land Use Map have policy supporting future use as a greenbelt.
As these conservation uses are shown schematically, specific delineation will have to
be determined at the time of land development. Permitted uses within the conservation
areas would be determined by examining typical permitting conditions of the applicable
water management districts.
Problem: Wildlife habitat and corridors
Winter Springs has an abundance of wildlife habitat for endangered species as well as
game animals. StrategiC habitat areas for the red cockaded woodpecker, Audubon's
crested caracara, the snail kite, and the southern bald eagle.
D. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Problem: Delay in adoption of Concurrency Management System
One of the basic principles of the comprehensive planning process was the principle of
concurrency, which adds accountability to the planning process. For most
communities, the mandate of concurrency was determined to require an additional
layer of administration, to "manage" the concurrency function. However, despite Winter
Springs' lack of overt management of concurrency, the inventory of public facility
capacity indicates that concurrency has generally been met.
Even if a eMS had been operating in Winter Springs during the years since initial
adoption of the plan, it is unlikely that the compliance outcome would have changed.
The only capacity-deficient facility is Tuskawilla Rd. between Red Bug Lake Rd. and
Winter Springs Blvd. With the continued development of the area in and around Winter
Springs, there will be continued pressufe on roadways in Winter Springs.
E. HOUSING ELEMENT
Problem: Housing for very-low and low income households
In 1997, a family of four in the Winter Springs is considered low income if the
household makes less than $32,450/year. Very low income households are considered
those who earn less than $20,281 per year (family of four). Moderate income
households, range ffom $32,45Q-$48,675/year, have adequate housing opportunities
available, for both owner-occupied and rental housing. Providing housing for very-low
and low income households is a significant challenge for Winter Springs. Over the past
decade, there has been a major transition in the provision of housing subsidies. At the
national level, the traditional model of ownership and management of public housing is
being abandoned, in favor of tax credits for private sector providers. The rental
structure of most housing in Winter Springs is geared to serve the moderate income
V-3
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
.
household, families with incomes of 80%-120% or more of median income. The
adequacy of the present supply of middle income housing was supported by the
Affordable Housing Needs Assessment produced by the Department of Community
Affairs.
Housing for very-low and low income households is typically not provided by the private
mari<et. In the past, families with very-low income (50% or less than the area median)
are generally the clients of public housing projects. Although population continues to
grow, the supply of public housing is not increasing. Since the early 1990's there have
been increasing initiatives from Washington to restructure the nation's public housing
programs and reduce the inventory of public housing.
By use of grants, loans and tax credits, non-profit sponsors can produce housing for
very-low and low income persons and families. The safety net of emerging housing
programs need full utilization to address the needs of the poorest sectors of our
society. While for-profit developers have taken advantage of opportunities to provide
moderate income housing, additional capacity needs to be developed among non-profit
providefs to meet the needs of lower income segments of the population. Whether the
end users of a project are rich or poor, many of the same skills are needed: financial
analysis, budgeting, negotiating, accounting. Staffs of churches, neighborhood
organizations and social service agencies typically do not have training or experience in
these areas. In order to meet the needs of lower income sectors of the City, incfeasing
the capacity of the non-pfofit sector to produce and manage housing is necessary.
.
An additional issue is the importance of creating housing opportunities throughout the
greater Orlando/Seminole County region. It is important for regional solutions to be
developed to provide housing alternatives in all parts of the region.
Opportunity: Supply of undeveloped land
At the present time, a total of 4,046 acres are used for residential purposes. there are
1,497 vacant acres, or 17% of the total land within the city. Vacant residential land is
principally located in the northeast and north-central areas of the City.
F. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
Problem: Adequacy of adopted standards, quantity
.
The Winter Springs standard for pari<land is 1.6 acre per 1000 population for
community based pari<s and from 5.3 to 6.9 per 1000 population for neighborhood
based pari<s depending on which sector of the community is evaluated. These
standafds were based on the 1990 population. With the population increase estimated
for 1995 of 25,637 it is likely that the standards are no longer being met.
Closely related to the Issue of absolute quantity of pari<s is the location of pari<s. Most
community plans adopt a sliding scale of pari<s, based on the function of the pari<.
These range from tot lots to community pari<s. Typically, a service radius is defined for
each type of pari<, for example: tot lots, 1/8 to 1/4 mile; neighborhood pari<s, one-half to .
1 mile; and community pari<s; 1-3 miles.
V-4
.
.
.
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
At the present time, Winter Springs does not have an adopted standard for the location
of parks.
The EAR review provides an ideal time to reconsider community's adopted parkland
standards.
Opportunity: Joint participation in park planning
The establishment of a joint planning program will create a significant resource for
meeting neighborhood park needs. By including school sites in the City's overall park
planning efforts, it will be possible to establish an increased standard for neighborhood
parks and to meet that standard through cooperation. Establishment of joint
participation agreements for construction and maintenance of school open spaces will
be one step toward meeting open space needs.
For the futufe, planned community recreation facilities can be incorporated into
structural planning for schools
In order to increase the City's resources, this planning effort should ultimately include
the SI. Johns River Water Management District.
Problem: Delineation offuture park sites
The present plan does not indicate the future location of any sites which are not
presently in City ownerShip. In part because no locational standard was adopted, there
was no basis on which to delineate future park sites. However, absent any guidance
for site selection, the plan was weak in providing a basis for future decisions.
Given the constraints of the Bert Harris Property Rights Act, limitations imposed by
case law regarding vested rights and official mapping, it is not advisable to delineate
specific parcels for acquisition, unless the acquisition process is actually funded.
However, it is possible to delineate general locations for future parks, without
determining specific sites. This can be done by applying service radii for park facilities
to existing and planned gfOwth areas.
Opportunity: Outside sources of land and funding
As the recreation and open space plans for Winter Springs are refined, the present and
future resources of outside agencies can help the community reach develop an
integrated, linked system of open spaces. Bicycle/pedestrian trails can be eligible for
FDOT funds under the ISTEA enhancement programs. Implementation of plans for
environmental preservation can help create greenway linkages.
Developers of new housing can be assigned responsibility for creation of tot lots and
some neighborhood parks. Maintenance of parks which serve a single development
can be assigned to a homeowners association. However, parks which are created and
maintained through private associations are generally not available to the public.
V-5
.
.
.
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Design and implementation of a progressive recreation and open space element will
entail funding from multiple sources. External funding sources are outside the City's
control. For this reason, the City's may establish a minimum level of service standard
based on internal resources; this would be the level which would be used for
determining concurrency. A desired level of service may be set to reflect the
aggressive use of external funding.
G.
TRAFFIC CIRCULA TION ELEMENT
Problem: How to maintain adequate roadway capacity.
At the time of the EAR, most of the roadways in Wintef Springs wefe Level of Service
sufficient. However, due to the enormous growth the Orlando afea has experienced it is
only a matter of time befofe LOS becomes an insurmountable pfoblem.
Winter Springs should implement a cumulative Concurrency Management System
within 12 months of this report. However, no matter how much Winter Springs does the
basic problem is a regional problem. The solutions to the transportation problems in
the Of Ian do area must be solved for the whole region, before Cities, such as Winter
Springs, can make long term progress in controlling Level of Service.
Problem: Lack of a Concurrency Management System.
Winter Springs has monitored concurrency on a case by case basis. This system may
have been adequate in the past, however, over the past seven years the City has
grown and urbanized even more. A well conceived Concurrency Management System
will not only look at on site impacts, but track past development and approved building
permits. The new Concurrency Management System should be completed within one
year of the EAR, however until it is complete concurrency enforcement may become a
problem.
H.
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Winter Springs is part of the regionally integrated economy of the Greater Orlando
Area, which pfovides jobs for Winter Springs residents. Also, Winter Springs offers
housing that is viewed as attractive by those working in other counties because of both
lower price in some areas of the community and a more affluent lifestyle in other areas.
Land use allocation for certain categories, office and industrial, needs to be considered
regionally as well as locally.. This presents an opportunity for planning consistent with
the ECFRPC's Strategic Regional Policy Plan.
The City's Comprehensive Plan must include provisions to discoufage the proliferation
of urban sprawl consistent with Rule 9J-5.006(5), FAC. As inter Springs is a compact
urban community objectives and policies need to be adopted to support this policy.
V-6
.
.
.
PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Winter Springs is completing the development of a Concurrency Management System.
The opportunity exists to implement this system in 1998. The Concurrency
Management System, when implemented, will be an effective growth management tool
for Winter Springs.
V-7
RECOMMENDA TIONS
. VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
A. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
It is recommended that the overall level of service standard be adjusted to set a realistic
minimum level of servlce for overall acreage. It is further recommended that a policy be
established for the location of parks in relation to residential areas. Open space land
dedication should be included in the draft Land Development Regulations which have yet to be
adopted. In order to be consistent with the plan, open space dedication should be required for
residential developments.
Barner free access is not addressed as a matter of policy in the plan. This objective should be
added to the plan. New facilities should be required to have barner-free access, as well as .
existing retrofit of existing facilities.
It is recommended that additional policies be added to further public open space use of
existing and proposed conservation sites, and to incorporate environmental and public access
open space use in futufe conservation areas.
An objective addressing joint use with the Seminole District School Board should be added.
Additional objectives afe recommended to address the desired level of open space, and the
use of intergovernmental revenues to increase open space acquisitions. An objective to
addfess access to ffeshwater beaches and shores should be included, to comply with State
law.
.
Policies for linked open spaces and greenways should be considered. Resources which are
developed as part of the multi-jurisdictional planning for parks are recommended to be
included
B. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
For objectives which have been accomplished, it is suggested that the objectives be reworded
to reflect ongoing operations to implement the objective.
Additional analysis will be required to incorporate financial projections for improvements which
correspond with proposed plan amendments.
The underlying purpose of the CIE element is to draw together an analysis of the community's
planned resources and the service needs of new development on a five year projected basis.
In this respect, Winter Springs has not met the intent of the CIE element. However, the
"housekeeping" aspect of the CIE, in which capital purchases are reviewed each year, has
been addfessed in practice by the annual budgeting process.
Two things need to be done to accomplish the intent of statute: 1)prepare and annually update
a five year Capital Improvements Plan and; 2) modify the annual budget document, to include
a Capital Improvements section. This Capital Improvements section would include the
projected Capital Improvements expenditures, and their funding sources. As an alternative, it
.
VI-1
RECOMMENDA nONS
.
would be helpful to note those expenditures in the annual budget which are also part of the
Capital Improvements Plan. This would have the effect of more closely aligning the budget
function with the comprehensive plan. The ability to do this depends on resources available in
the County's finance department. It may be appropriate to consider adding a policy to the
comprehensive plan to evaluate the staff time which would be required to complete this annual
feedback loop.
C. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDfNA TION ELEMENT
Specific recommendations for future actions are included in the discussion of the effect of
statutory and rule changes since 1990 and afe noted in the objectives achievement matrix
whefe objectives have not been achieved.
Other policy initiatives to support current initiatives, such as the SWIM program designation,
will also further local functional Objectives through intergovernmental coordination.
Improved coordination is indicated in areas of on-going emergency preparedness, traffic and
transportation planning, and housing and community development.
Additional coordination with the Seminole District School Board will be needed to address
siting of schools and ancillary facilities.
All dates referred to in the objectives should be revised to reflect the ongoing achievement of
. the objective and new deadlines for objectives that were not achieved.
D. HOUSING ELEMENT
Plan amendments will be required to address the following definitions:
The data and analysis section of the Housing Element should be amended to include an
explanation of categories of households needing assistance. This should be qualified by
specifying the need to adjust income for family size. The effect of this should be to lower
the income eligibility for households with fewer than four persons, and raise the eligible
income for households with more than four persons. The specific application of this
formula should be as specified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The data and analysis section of the Housing Element should be revised to conform to the
definition of adjusted gross income, consistent with the income definition used in
determining eligibility for housing benefits by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
.
The data and analysis section of the Housing Element should be revised to conform to the
definition of affordable housing, with housing assistance need determined against a
benchmark housing expense (fent or mortgage, taxes, utilities and insurance) not to
exceed 30% of the households gross income, adjusted for family size.
VI-2
.
.
.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
Within the data and analysis section, households needing assistance should be
categorized in terms of very-low income (less than 50% of median), low income (50% to
80% of area median) and moderate income (80% to 120% of area median).
The data and analysis section of the Housing Element should include results of the Housing
Needs Assessment provided by the Department of Community Affairs. This assessment has
been included in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The data and analysis section of the
Housing Element should be revised to include housing needs for current and future residents.
This should be accomplished using revised projections and estimates permanent residents and
current and projected seasonal residents.
The data and analysis section of the Housing Element should include an analysis of the means
for creation and preservation of affordable housing. Creation of affordable housing should be
addfessed through application of existing programs, analysis of new Developments of
Regional Impact, and reviews of sub-DR I threshold projects. Preservation of affordable
housing should address housing rehabilitation efforts. Preservation of affordable housing
should not just involve public housing. Data should be compiled to provide the basis for
policies avoid the concentration of affordable units in specific areas of the City.
An objective should be added to direct the creation of affordable housing opportunities, and to
encoufage preservation of affofdable housing for current and future residents of the City. The
regional context of providing affordable housing should be addressed as part of affordable
housing opportunities.
An objective should be added to address the sites and distribution of housing for very-low, low,
and moderate income households. An objective should address mobile and manufactured
homes, which should be administered as part of the land development regulations.
Policies should be added to reflect the actions which streamline permitting for housing, with
emphasis on affordable housing. These policies should be administered through the revised
.Iand development regulations.
Policies to guide the location of very-low, low and modefate income housing as part of regional
intergovernmental coordination should be provided as plan amendments.
The linkage of housing and jobs should be recognized through policies to consider job creation
and training as part of the community's regional intergovernmental coordination solution to
housing affordability. This linkage should be recognized through policy amendments to the
Housing Element and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
Policies should be provided to the Housing Element to recognize the City's ability and
. commitment to designate on the Land Use Plan Map sites at sufficient densities to meet
affordable housing needs.
E. TRAFFIC CIRCULA nON ELEMENT
The Objectives Achievement Matrix provides analysis of objectives that require attention. All
VI-3

.
.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
those that have not been met should be reevaluated and amended.
Other objectives that should be addressed:
. Ensure that transportation facilities are programmed to be available at the time traffic
volumes warrant their construction
. Provisions of adequate funding for the proper construction and maintenance of
transportation facilities at City levels.
. Establish standards for the transportation network that provide guidelines for the continued
development and improvement of the system. Objectives should be modified to state that
the City will monitor the adopted standards for the Seminole County transportation network.
. Maintain an up to date inventory of the Seminole County transportation network so the
transportation planning process can respond to transportation related conditions as they
may change.
. Modify objectives to assure coordination between the Concurrency Management System
and Development Review Process. New state guidance contained in 9J-5.19(4)(C)2 which
addresses access management should be the subject of a new policy under this objective.
. Provide an objective to minimize impacts generated by major roadways on existing and
future residential neighborhoods. Consider adding a 'connectivity" policy for
intefconnection of subdivisions.
. New state guidance contained in 9J-5.019(4)(b)5 and 9J-5.019(4)(C)4 which address right-
of-way reservation should be added as matter of policy.
. The City should investigate adding policies that promote alternate modes of transportation
in response to 9J-5.019(4)(C)5.
F. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Specific amendments to existing objectives are needed to reconcile the failure to meet certain
objectives as noted in the objectives achievement matrix. Utility level of service standards
should be reanalyzed and revised where necessary. Service area maps should be provided
as part of the data and analysis. Where the City has expanded its service areas beyond the
previously-adopted boundaries, this should be recognized. Further future actions that should
be considered afe:
. Policies should be revised to provide substantive policies which define concurrency
management for water and sewer service.
. Objectives fOf meeting state mandated recycling goals should be included. Hazardous
waste objectives and policies should be added.
VI-4
.
.
.
RECOMMENDA TlONS
. Drainage goals which called for a master drainage plan, have been met. Those
objectives and the supporting policies should be retained and revised to reflect ongoing
activities for implementation. Objectives which addressed funding of drainage
improvements by a Stormwater Utility Fee should be retained and recognized as a critical
priority.
. Additional objectives and supporting policies for use of drainage ways and design of
detention areas should be considered. The desire of the City to provide greenways and
trails can be facilitated by joint use of drainageways. Joint use drainageways should be
mentioned.
. Wellhead protection policies afe needed and should be addressed in the revised Land
Development Regulations and future comprehensive plan amendments. In order to
implement the wellhead protection ofdinance, comprehensive maps of wells and
wellheads will be needed.
G. CONSERVATION ELEMENT
New information which has become available through research of the Water Management
District and the State Department of Environmental Protection are recommended to be
included in the Data and Analysis for this element.
Based upon the matrix analysis, it is recommended that several revisions to the objectives and
policies be considered.
H. LAND USE ELEMENT
In the Land use element there are several future actions that may be considered:
. Objectives and policies to support the establishment of one or more greenbelts may be
appropriate to meet both growth management and environmental goals.
. Mixed land use policies are required to address permitted uses, densities and intensities
permitted with the category.
. Include definitions for downtown revitalization, urban redevelopment, urban infill, projects
that promote public transportation, and existing urban service area. These definitions are
added to clarify terminology used in section 163.3180, F.S. regarding transportation
concurrency exceptions. These terms must be also be incorporated in the Capital
Improvements Element of the Concurrency Management Program, being considered for
adoption
. New requirement for objectives which coordinate future land uses by encouraging the
elimination or reduction of uses that are inconsistent with any interagency hazard mitigation
report recommendations.
VI-5
.;
.
e.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
. Policy revisions are recommended to specifically enumerate the City's commitment to
prevent urban sprawl, consistent with the indicators in the rule. Among these indicators are
a determination whether the plan amendment{s) allow development of low-density,
low-intensity uses or single-use development in excess of demonstrated need. additional
urban sprawl indicators included in the rule, for example, maximization of existing or
planned public facilities, the extent to which development pays for itself, the existing
pattern of built and vested development, and development controls.
. Add or revise definitions for "manufactured home", "residential population", "potable
waterwellfield", "seasonal population", and "urban sprawl" should be addressed in the
plan update.
. The Future Land Use map should be revised to include potable waterwells and wellfield
protection areas.
. Mixed land use policies afe fequired to address permitted uses, densities and intensities
permitted with the category.
I. OTHER, GENERAL RECOMMENDA TlONS
Overall, the dates for implementation need to be revised to either reflect previous
accomplishment or to extend the date for compliance to a future year more acceptable to the
city and lor in conformance with state requirements. New Land Development Regulations that
have been considered periodically over the past five years should be adopted in 1998. they
are required by statute and will implement many of the objectives and policies included in the
Comprehensive Plan
In general most of the Goals ,Objectives and Policies (GOPs) do not establish meaningful and
predictable standafds for measuring their effectiveness and to make a determination as to
whether they have been accomplished. All GOPs should be evaluated and where necessary
changed to establish more meaningful and measurable standards.
Where objectives call for "establishing" they should be changed to 'maintaining" if they have
been accomplished.
The Florida Departments of Envifonmental Regulation and Natural Resources have been
combined into the Department of Environmental Protection. The Plan should be amended to
reflect this change.
Finally, in general, the plan is poorly written and organized. Many Goals, Objectives and
Policies have little meaning or relevancy in serving the city as a comprehensive planning
document or in meeting state statutory requirements. It is recommended that the City corisider
a complete rewrite of the plan. Such a task while seemingly a daunting commitment will when
completed serve the city decision makers in a more structured and legal manor.
VI-6
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
. VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN
.
.
Public participation in plan amendment proceedings will be obtained through public hearings
and workshops of the Local Planning Agency, and the City Commission.
The Planning and Zoning Board has been designated the Local Planning Agency (LPA) of the
City of Winter Springs. Upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board all
development plans and other land use decisions are made by the City Commission. The
Planning and Zoning Board holds public hearings before transmitting recommendations for
land use and zoning matters to the City Commission.
The outcome of this evaluation and appraisal effort will be to prepare an inventory of previous
actions, identify site plans and plan amendments, identify existing resources, and document
changes to the City of Winter Springs since the comprehensive plan was adopted. Public
involvement will be included in the synthesis of this Information and preparation of
amendments to the comprehensive plan. Public involvement techniques recommended for
plan development include workshops, advertisements, interviews with staff and public
hearings.
