Understanding to the Department of Community Affairs, which will include the major planning issues to

Feb. 28.2007 - "Great Ideas for a Great City" Local Planning Agency Public Workshop
Mar. 15,2007 - InterAgency Scoping Meeting
April 2007 - Transmittal of Letter of Understanding with DCA to DCA
BACKGROUND: The Evaluation and Appraisal Report functions as an audit ofthe
successes and shortcomings of the City's Comprehensive Plan and suggests how the plan should
be revised to better address community objectives, changing conditions, trends affecting the
community, and changes in state requirements. The issues identified set the stage for revisions to
the City's Comprehensive Plan. By identifying local issues clearly and specifically, the resulting
document becomes a useful tool for the City and not just an exercise in compliance.
This meeting will provide opportunity for the City Commission and Local Planning Agency to
finalize the Letter of Understanding to be transmitted to DCA in April, which summarizes the
issues important to Winter Springs and which the City desires to be included in the 2008 EAR.
The letter will request the Department of Community Affairs' agreement to the topics selected as
their guide in reviewing Winter Springs' EAR for sufficiency.
