Regular Meeting
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department – Planning Division in cooperation with the City
Attorney and City Engineer request that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing for Second Reading and
Adoption of Ordinance 2006-20, establishing a methodology for assessing proportionate fair-share mitigation
for transportation concurrency management, pursuant to the requirements of Section 163.3180 (16), Florida
Statutes.
_______________________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE:
To comply with State requirements requiring the adoption of a process for mitigating the
impacts of development on transportation facilities through the cooperative efforts of the public and private
sectors.
DISCUSSION:
This ordinance establishes a methodology for assessing proportionate fair-share options and methodologies to
calculate proportionate fair share mitigation. Under this process, development may proceed despite a lack of
adequate capacity on the impacted transportation system, provided applicants contribute their fair-share toward
satisfying concurrency for the transportation impacts of their development projects. A corresponding intent is
to strengthen local capital improvements planning by tying these developer contributions more closely to the
transportation planning and improvement process.

PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 200
CONSIDERATIONS:
Concurrency is a growth management concept intended to ensure that the necessary public facilities and
services are available concurrent with the impacts of development.
To carry out transportation concurrency, local governments must define what constitutes an adequate level of
service (LOS) and measure whether the service needs of a new development outrun existing capacity and any
scheduled improvements in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE). Concurrency is addressed in Article X
of the City’s Code of Ordinances and the following areas of the City’s Comprehensive Plan:
Future Land Use Element, Objective 1.3 Concurrency;
Transportation Element, Objective 1.11 Concurrency Management System;
Transportation Element, Objective 1.12 Roadway Network; and
Capital Improvement Element, Objective 1.8, Concurrency Management.
If adequate capacity is not available, the local government cannot permit development unless certain
conditions apply as provided for in statute, such as “de minimis” exemptions for developments having only
.
minor impacts or concurrency exception areas to encourage infill and redevelopment
The 2005 amendments to Florida’s growth management legislation directed local governments to enact
concurrency management ordinances by December 1, 2006, to allow for “proportionate share” contributions
from developers toward concurrency requirements (see §163.3180(16), F.S.).
The legislation provides for a methodology by which developers may move forward with a development if a
proportionate share mitigation is paid for transportation facilities:
Specifically identified for funding in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements in the Capital
Improvement Element of the local plan, or
Identified in the long term concurrency management system, or
If contributions or payments for such facilities or segments are reflected in a 5 year schedule of a
capital improvement plan in the next regularly scheduled update of the local Capital Improvement
Element.
The proportionate fair-share requirements do not apply until a deficiency is identified through the local
Concurrency Management System (CMS).
Proportionate fair-share contributions are not the same as transportation impact fees. The primary difference
is that the proportionate fair-share payment is intended as a means to address a specific transportation
concurrency issue - a road segment or segments operating below the adopted level-of-service standard;
whereas transportation impact fees are imposed on each new development to pay for that development’s
impact on the entire transportation system.
In order to ensure local government compliance with the new requirements, the legislature directed the
Florida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) to prepare a model ordinance for use by local governments. The
attached Ordinance 2006-20 is based on the FDOT model and establishes conditions whereby developers may
satisfy transportation concurrency requirements through proportionate fair-share contributions.
Winter Springs still has the responsibility to review a development to ensure that it is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan or land development regulations. This review process will occur regardless of a
development’s ability to meet concurrency through proportionate fair share.

PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM 200
FINDINGS:
Adoption of the attached Ordinance 2006-20 providing for a Proportionate Fair-Share Program:
Provides a method by which the impacts of development on transportation facilities can be mitigated
by the cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors;
Allows developers to proceed under certain conditions, notwithstanding the failure of transportation
concurrency, by contributing their proportionate fair- share of the cost of a transportation facility;
Contributes to the provision of adequate public facilities for future growth and promotes a strong
commitment to comprehensive facilities planning, thereby reducing the potential for moratoria or
unacceptable levels of traffic congestion;
Maximizes the use of public funds for adequate transportation facilities to serve future growth, and
may, in certain circumstances, allow Winter Springs to expedite transportation improvements by
supplementing funds currently allocated for transportation improvements in the CIE;

Proportionate Fair Share means the method by which the impacts of development on
transportation can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors. The
intent of the proportionate fair-share contributions is to provide applicants for development an
opportunity to proceed under certain conditions, notwithstanding the failure of transportation
concurrency, by contributing their share of the cost of improving the impacted transportation facility.
Proportionate fair share is a pay-and-go method that does not require immediate resolution of the
level of service deficiency, but transportation projects mitigating the LOS deficiencies on these
facilities must still be programmed for improvement in the City?s 5-year capital improvement
program.

DIVISION 5. TRANSPORTATION FACILITY PROPORTIONATE FAIR-SHARE
MITIGATION PROGRAM
Sec. 9-561. Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a method whereby the impacts of development
on transportation facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and private
sectors, to be known as ?the Proportionate Fair-Share Program? as required by and in the manner
consistent with section 163.3180(16), Florida Statutes.
Sec. 9-562. Applicability.
The Proportionate Fair-Share Program shall apply to all developments in the City that have
been notified of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency on a transportation facility
in the City?s Concurrency Management System (?CMS?), including transportation facilities
maintained by FDOT or another jurisdiction that are relied upon for concurrency determinations,
pursuant to the requirements of section 9-563. The Proportionate Fair-Share Program does not apply
to developments of regional impact (DRIs) using proportionate fair-share under section
163.3180(12), Florida Statutes, or to developments that may be exempted from concurrency as
provided in the City Code, Comprehensive Plan or any other applicable law.
Sec. 9-563. General requirements.
(a) An applicant may choose to satisfy the transportation concurrency requirements of
the City by making a proportionate fair-share contribution, pursuant to the following
requirements:
(1) The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 3 of 12
applicable land development regulations.
(2) The City five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes
transportation improvement(s) that, upon completion, will accommodate additional
traffic generated by the proposed development, as determined by the City.
(b) The City may choose to allow an applicant to satisfy transportation concurrency
through the Proportionate Fair-Share Program by contributing to an improvement that, upon
completion, will satisfy the requirements of the City transportation CMS, but is not
contained in the CIP, where one of the following apply:
(1) The City adopts, by resolution or ordinance, a commitment to add the
improvement to the five-year CIP no later than the next regularly scheduled update.
To qualify for consideration under this section, the proposed improvement must be
reviewed by the City and determined to be financially feasible pursuant to section
163.3180(16)(b)1, Florida Statutes, consistent with the comprehensive plan, and in
compliance with the provisions of this ordinance. Financial feasibility for this
section means that additional contributions, payments or funding sources are
reasonably anticipated during a period not to exceed 10 years to fully mitigate
impacts on the transportation facilities.
(2) If the funds allocated for the five-year CIP are insufficient to fully fund
construction of a transportation improvement required by the CMS, the City may still
enter into a binding proportionate fair-share agreement with the applicant authorizing
construction of that amount of development on which the proportionate fair-share is
calculated if the proportionate fair-share amount in such agreement is sufficient to
pay for one or more improvements which will, in the opinion of the governmental
entity or entities maintaining the transportation facilities, significantly benefit the
impacted transportation system.
The improvement or improvements funded by the proportionate fair-share component
must be adopted into the five-year CIP at the next annual update.
(3) Any improvement project proposed to meet the developer?s fair-share
obligation must meet design standards of the City for locally maintained roadways
and those of the FDOT for the state highway system.
Sec. 9-564. Intergovernmental coordination.
Pursuant to policies in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the City?s
comprehensive plan and applicable policies of other agencies, municipalities, and counties, the City
shall coordinate with affected jurisdictions, including FDOT, regarding mitigation to impacted
facilities not under the jurisdiction of the local government receiving the application for
proportionate fair-share mitigation. An interlocal agreement may be established with other affected
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 4 of 12
jurisdictions for this purpose.
Sec. 9-565. Application process.
(a) Upon notification of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency, the
applicant shall also be notified in writing of the opportunity to satisfy transportation
concurrency through the Proportionate Fair-Share Program pursuant to the requirements of
section 9-563.
(b) Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair-share agreement, a pre-
application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility, application submittal requirements,
potential mitigation options, and related issues. If the impacted facility is on the Strategic
Intermodal System, then the FDOT will be notified and invited to participate in the pre-
application meeting.
(c) Eligible applicants shall submit an application to the City that includes an application
fee as established by Resolution of the City Commission and which includes the following:
(1) Name, address and phone number of property owner(s), developer and agent;
(2) Property location, including parcel identification numbers;
(3) Legal description and survey of property;
(4) Project description, including type, intensity and amount of development;
(5) Phasing schedule, if applicable;
(6) Description of requested proportionate fair-share mitigation method(s); and
(7) Copy of concurrency application.
(d) The City shall review the application and certify that the application is sufficient and
complete within 10 business days. If an application is determined to be insufficient,
incomplete or inconsistent with the general requirements of the Proportionate Fair-Share
Program as indicated in section 9-563 then the applicant will be notified in writing of the
reasons for such deficiencies within 10 business days of submittal of the application. If such
deficiencies are not remedied by the applicant within 30 days of receipt of the written
notification, then the application will be deemed abandoned. The City Commission may, in
its discretion, grant an extension of time not to exceed 60 days to cure such deficiencies,
provided that the applicant has shown good cause for the extension and has taken reasonable
steps to effect a cure.
(e) Pursuant to section 163.3180(16)(e), Florida Statutes, proposed proportionate fair-
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 5 of 12
share mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the Strategic Intermodal System
requires the concurrency of the FDOT. The applicant shall submit evidence of an agreement
between the applicant and the FDOT for inclusion in the proportionate fair-share agreement.
(f) When an application is deemed sufficient, complete, and eligible, the applicant shall
be advised in writing and a proposed proportionate fair-share obligation and binding
agreement will be prepared by the City or the applicant with direction from the City and
delivered to the appropriate parties for review, including a copy to the FDOT for any
proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation on a Strategic Intermodal System facility, no
later than 60 days from the date at which the applicant received the notification of a sufficient
application and no fewer than 14 days prior to the City Commission meeting when the
agreement will be considered.
(g) The City shall notify the applicant regarding the date of the Commission meeting
when the agreement will be considered for final approval. No proportionate fair-share
agreement will be effective until approved by the City Commission.
Sec. 9-566. Determining proportionate fair-share obligation.
(a) Proportionate fair-share mitigation for concurrency impacts may include, without
limitation, separately or collectively, private funds, contributions of land and/or construction
and contribution of facilities.
(b) A development shall not be required to pay more than its proportionate fair-share.
The fair market value of the proportionate fair-share mitigation for the impacted facilities
shall not differ regardless of the method of mitigation.
(c) The methodology used to calculate an applicant?s proportionate fair-share obligation
shall be, as provided for in section 163.3180(12), Florida Statutes, as follows: The
cumulative number of trips from the proposed development expected to reach roadways
during peak hours from the complete build out of a stage or phase being approved, divided
by the change in the peak hour maximum service volume (MSV) of roadways resulting from
construction of an improvement necessary to maintain the adopted LOS, multiplied by the
construction cost, at the time of developer payment, of the improvement necessary to
maintain the adopted LOS, or
S
Proportionate Fair-Share = [(Development Trips) / (SV Increase)] x Cost]
iii
Where:
Development Trips = Those trips from the stage or phase of development under
review that are assigned to roadway segment ?i? and have triggered a deficiency per
the CMS;
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 6 of 12
SV Increase = Service volume increase provided by the eligible improvement to
roadway segment ?i? per section E;
Cost = Adjusted cost of the improvement to segment ?i?. Cost shall include all
improvements and associated costs, such as design, right-of-way acquisition,
planning, engineering, inspection, and physical development costs directly associated
with construction at the anticipated cost in the year it will be incurred.
(d) For the purposes of determining proportionate fair-share obligations, the City shall
determine improvement costs based upon the projected future cost of the improvement as
obtained from the Capital Improvements Program, the MPO/TIP or the FDOT Work
Program. Where such information is not available, improvement cost shall be determined
using one of the following methods:
(1) An analysis by the City of costs by cross section type that incorporates data
from recent projects and is updated annually and approved by the City Commission.
In order to accommodate increases in construction material costs, project costs shall
be adjusted to address inflation; or
(2) The most recent issue of FDOT Transportation Costs, as adjusted based upon
the type of cross-section (urban or rural); locally available data from recent projects
on acquisition, drainage and utility costs; and significant changes in the cost of
materials due to unforeseeable events. Cost estimates for state road improvements
not included in the adopted FDOT Work Program shall be determined using this
method in coordination with the FDOT District.
(e)If the City has accepted an improvement project proposed by the applicant, then the
value of the improvement shall be determined using one of the methods provided in this
section.
(f) If the City has accepted right-of-way dedication for all or a portion of the
proportionate fair-share payment, credit for the dedication of the non-site related right-of-way
shall be valued by fair market value established by an independent appraisal approved by the
City and at no expense to the City. The applicant shall supply a signed and sealed survey and
legal description of the land and a certificate of title or title search of the land to the City at
no expense to the City. If the estimated value of the right-of-way dedication proposed by the
applicant is less than the City estimated total proportionate fair-share obligation for that
development, then the applicant must also pay or provide mitigation of the difference.
Sec. 9-567. Impact fee credit for proportionate fair-share mitigation.
(a) Proportionate fair-share contributions shall be applied as a credit against impact fees
to the extent that all or a portion of the proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to address
the same capital infrastructure improvements contemplated by the City?s impact fee
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 7 of 12
regulations as set forth in Article VIII of Chapter 9 of the City Code (?impact fee
regulations?).
(b) Impact fee credits for the proportionate fair-share contribution will be determined
when the transportation impact fee obligation is calculated for the proposed development.
Impact fees owed by the applicant will be reduced per the Proportionate Fair-Share
Agreement as they become due per the City?s impact fee regulations. If the applicant?s
proportionate fair-share obligation is less than the development?s anticipated road impact fee
for the specific stage or phase of development under review, then the applicant or its
successor must pay the remaining impact fee amount to the City pursuant to the requirements
of the impact fee regulations.
(c) Major projects not included within the impact fee regulations or created under section
9-563(b)(1) and (2) which can demonstrate a significant benefit to the impacted
transportation system may be eligible at the City?s discretion for impact fee credits.
(d) The proportionate fair-share obligation is intended to mitigate the transportation
impacts of a proposed development at a specific location. As a result, any road impact fee
credit based upon proportionate fair-share contributions for a proposed development cannot
be transferred to any other location.
Sec. 9-568. Proportionate fair-share agreements.
(a) Upon execution of a proportionate fair-share agreement (Agreement) the applicant
shall receive a City certificate of concurrency approval. Should the applicant fail to apply
for a development permit within twelve (12) months then the Agreement shall be considered
null and void, and the applicant shall be required to reapply.
(b) Payment of the proportionate fair-share contribution is due in full prior to issuance
of the final development order or recording of the final plat and shall be non-refundable. If
the payment is submitted more than twelve (12) months from the date of execution of the
Agreement, then the proportionate fair-share cost shall be recalculated at the time of payment
based on the best estimate of the construction cost of the required improvement at the time
of payment, pursuant to section 9-566 and adjusted accordingly.
(c) All developer improvements authorized under this article must be completed prior
to issuance of a development permit, or as otherwise established in a binding agreement that
is accompanied by a security instrument that is sufficient to ensure the completion of all
required improvements. It is the intent of this section that any required improvements be
completed before issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy.
(d) Dedication of necessary right-of-way for facility improvements pursuant to a
proportionate fair-share agreement must be completed prior to issuance of the final
development order or recording of the final plat.
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 8 of 12
(e) Any requested change to a development project subsequent to a development order
may be subject to additional proportionate fair-share contributions to the extent the change
would generate additional traffic that would require mitigation.
(f) Applicants may submit a letter to withdraw from the proportionate fair-share
agreement at any time prior to the execution of the agreement. The application fee and any
associated advertising costs to the City will be non refundable.
(g) The City may enter into proportionate fair-share agreements for selected corridor
improvements to facilitate collaboration among multiple applicants on improvements to a
shared transportation facility.
Sec. 9-569. Appropriation of fair-share revenues.
(a) Proportionate fair-share revenues shall be placed in the appropriate project account
for funding of scheduled improvements in the City?s CIP, or as otherwise established in the
terms of the proportionate fair-share agreement. At the discretion of the City Commission,
proportionate fair-share revenues may be used for operational improvements prior to
construction of the capacity project from which the proportionate fair-share revenues were
derived. Proportionate fair-share revenues may also be used as the 50% local match for
funding under the FDOT TRIP.
(b) In the event a scheduled facility improvement is removed from the CIP, then the
revenues collected for its construction may be applied toward the construction of another
improvement within that same corridor or sector that would mitigate the impacts of
development pursuant to the requirements of section 9-563(b)(2).
Where an impacted regional facility has been designated as a regionally significant
transportation facility in an adopted regional transportation plan as provided in section
339.155, Florida Statutes, then the City may coordinate with other impacted jurisdictions and
agencies to apply proportionate fair-share contributions and public contributions to seek
funding for improving the impacted regional facility under the FDOT TRIP. Such
coordination shall be ratified by the City Commission through an interlocal agreement that
establishes a procedure for earmarking of the developer contributions for this purpose.
(c) Where an applicant constructs a transportation facility that exceeds the applicant?s
proportionate fair-share obligation calculated under section 9-566, the City shall reimburse
the applicant for the excess contribution using one or more of the following methods:
(1) An impact fee credit account may be established for the applicant in the
amount of the excess contribution, a portion or all of which may be assigned and
reassigned under the terms and conditions acceptable to the City.
(2) An account may be established for the applicant for the purpose of
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 9 of 12
reimbursing the applicant for the excess contribution with proportionate fair-share
payments from future applicants on the facility.
(3) The City may compensate the applicant for the excess contribution through
payment or some combination of means acceptable to the City and the applicant.
Sec. 9-570. Cross jurisdictional impacts.
(a) In the interest of intergovernmental coordination and to reflect the shared
responsibilities for managing development and concurrency, the City may enter an agreement
with one or more adjacent local governments to address cross jurisdictional impacts of
development on regional transportation facilities. The agreement shall provide for
application of the methodology in this section to address the cross jurisdictional
transportation impacts of development.
(b) A development application submitted to the City subject to a transportation
concurrency determination meeting all of the following criteria shall be subject to this
section:
(1) All or part of the proposed development is located within one (1) mile of the
area which is under the jurisdiction, for transportation concurrency, of an adjacent
local government; and
(2) Using its own concurrency analysis procedures, the City concludes that the
additional traffic from the proposed development would use five percent (5%) or
more of the adopted peak hour LOS maximum service volume of a regional
transportation facility within the concurrency jurisdiction of the adjacent local
government (?impacted regional facility?); and
(3) The impacted regional facility is projected to be operating below the level of
service standard, adopted by the adjacent local government, when the traffic from the
proposed development is included.
(c) Upon identification of an impacted regional facility pursuant to subsection (b)(1)-(3)
of this section, the City shall notify the applicant and the affected adjacent local government
in writing of the opportunity to derive an additional proportionate fair-share contribution,
based on the projected impacts of the proposed development on the impacted adjacent
facility.
(1) The adjacent local government shall have up to ninety (90) days in which to
notify the City of a proposed specific proportionate fair-share obligation, and the
intended use of the funds when received. The adjacent local government must
provide reasonable justification that both the amount of the payment and its intended
use comply with the requirements of section 163.3180(16), Florida Statutes. Should
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 10 of 12
the adjacent local government decline proportionate fair-share mitigation under this
section, then the provisions of this section would not apply and the applicant would
be subject only to the proportionate fair share requirements of the City.
(2) If the subject application is subsequently approved by the City, the approval
shall include a condition that the applicant provides, prior to the issuance of any
building permit covered by that application, evidence that the proportionate fair-share

DIVISION 1. OVERVIEW AND EXEMPTIONS
***
Sec. 9-501. Definitions.
The following words and phrases used in this article shall have the meanings ascribed below
unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
***
Financial feasibility means that sufficient revenues are currently available or will be available
from committed funding sources for the first 3 years. or will be available from committed or planned
funding sources for years 4 and 5. of the City's 5-year capital improvement program (CIP) for
financing capital improvements. such as ad valorem taxes. bonds. state and federal funds. tax
revenues. impact fees. and developer contributions. which are adequate to fund the projected costs
of the capital improvements identified in the comprehensive plan necessary to ensure that adopted

level-of-service standards are achieved and maintained within the period covered by the 5-year CIP.
***
Proportionate Fair Share means the method by which the impacts of development on
transportation can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors. The
intent of the proportionate fair-share contributions is to provide applicants for development an
opportunity to proceed under certain conditions. notwithstanding the failure of transportation
concurrency. by contributing their share of the cost of improving the impacted transportation facility.
Proportionate fair share is a pay-and-go method that does not require immediate resolution of the
level of service deficiency. but transportation proiects mitigating the LOS deficiencies on these
facilities must still be programmed for improvement in the City's 5-year capital improvement
program.
***
DIVISION 5. TRANSPORTATION FACILITY PROPORTIONATE FAIR-SHARE
MITIGATION PROGRAM
Sec. 9-561. Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a method whereby the impacts of development
on transportation facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and private
sectors. to be known as "the Proportionate Fair-Share Program" as required by and in the manner
consistent with section 163 .3180( 16). Florida Statutes.
Sec. 9-562. Applicability.
The Proportionate Fair-Share Program shall apply to all developments in the City that have
been notified of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency on a transportation facility
in the City's Concurrency Management System ("CMS"). including transportation facilities
maintained by FDOT or another iurisdiction that are relied upon for concurrency determinations.
pursuant to the requirements of section 9-563. The Proportionate Fair-Share Prol!I'am does not applv
to developments of regional impact (DRIs) using proportionate fair-share under section
163.3180(12). Florida Statutes. or to developments that may be exempted from concurrency as
provided in the City Code. Comprehensive Plan or any other applicable law.
Sec. 9-563. General requirements.
.ell An applicant may choose to satisfy the transportation concurrency requirements of
the City by making a proportionate fair-share contribution. pursuant to the following
requirements:
ill The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 3 of 12
applicable land development regulations.
m The City five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes
transportation improvement(s) that. upon completion. will accommodate additional
traffic generated by the proposed development. as determined by the City.
.au.. The City may choose to allow an applicant to satisfy transportation concurrency
through the Proportionate Fair-Share Program by contributing to an improvement that. upon
completion. will satisfy the requirements of the City transportation CMS. but is not
contained in the CIP. where one of the following apply:
Ol The City adopts. by resolution or ordinance. a commitment to add the
improvement to the five-year CIP no later than the next regularly scheduled update.
To qualify for consideration under this section. the proposed improvement must be
reviewed by the City and determined to be financially feasible pursuant to section
163 .3180( 16)(b) 1. Florida Statutes. consistent with the comprehensive plan. and in
compliance with the provisions of this ordinance. Financial feasibility for this
section means that additional contributions. payments or funding sources are
reasonably anticipated during a period not to exceed 10 years to fully mitigate
impacts on the transportation facilities.
m If the funds allocated for the five-year CIP are insufficient to fully fund
construction of a transportation improvement required by the CMS. the City mav still
enter into a binding proportionate fair-share agreement with the ap,plicant authorizing
construction of that amount of development on which the proportionate fair-share is
calculated if the proportionate fair-share amount in such agreement is sufficient to
pay for one or more improvements which will. in the opinion of the governmental
entity or entities maintaining the transportation facilities. significantly benefit the
impacted transportation system.
The improvement or improvements funded by the proportionate fair-share component
must be adopted into the five-year CIP at the next annual update.
m Any improvement project proposed to meet the developer's fair-share
obligation must meet design standards of the City for locallv maintained roadways
and those of the FDOT for the state highway system.
Sec. 9-564. Inter~overnmental coordination.
Pursuant to policies in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the City's
comprehensive plan and applicable policies of other agencies. municipalities. and counties. the City
shall coordinate with affected jurisdictions. including FDOT. regarding mitigation to impacted
facilities not under the jurisdiction of the local government receiving the ap,plication for
proportionate fair-share mitigation. An interlocal agreement may be established with other affected

iurisdictions for this purpose.
Sec. 9-565. Application process.
Wl Upon notification of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency. the
applicant shall also be notified in writing of the opportunity to satisfy transportation
concurrency through the Proportionate Fair-Share Program pursuant to the requirements of
section 9-563.
(QL Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair-share agreement. a pre-
application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility. ap!>lication submittal requirements.
potential mitigation options. and related issues. If the impacted facility is on the Strategic
Intermodal System. then the FDOT will be notified and invited to participate in the pre-
application meeting.
@ Eligible ap!>licants shall submit an application to the City that includes an application
fee as established by Resolution of the City Commission and which includes the following:
ill Name. address and phone number of property owner(s). developer and agent
m Property location. including parcel identification numbers~
Ql Legal description and survey of property~
ffi Proiect description. including type. intensity and amount of development
.ca Phasing schedule. if applicable~
@. Description of requested proportionate fair-share mitigation method(s)~ and
ffi Copy of concurrency application.
llU.. The City shall review the application and certify that the application is sufficient and
complete within 10 business days. If an ap!>lication is determined to be insufficient.
incomplete or inconsistent with the general requirements of the Proportionate Fair-Share
Program as indicated in section 9-563 then the applicant will be notified in writing of the
reasons for such deficiencies within 10 business days of submittal of the ap!>lication. If such
deficiencies are not remedied by the ap!>licant within 30 days of receipt of the written
notification. then the application will be deemed abandoned. The City Commission may. in
its discretion. grant an extension of time not to exceed 60 days to cure such deficiencies.
provided that the applicant has shown good cause for the extension and has taken reasonable
steps to effect a cure.

share mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the Strategic Intermodal System
requires the concurrency of the FDOT. The ap,plicant shall submit evidence of an agreement
between the applicant and the FDOT for inclusion in the proportionate fair-share agreement.
(fl When an application is deemed sufficient. complete. and eligible. the applicant shall
be advised in writing and a proposed proportionate fair-share obligation and binding
agreement will be prepared bv the City or the applicant with direction from the City and
delivered to the appropriate parties for review. including a copy to the FDOT for any
proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation on a Strategic Intermodal System facility. no
later than 60 days from the date at which the applicant received the notification of a sufficient
ap,plication and no fewer than 14 days prior to the City Commission meeting when the
agreement will be considered.
(gl The City shall notify the applicant regarding the date of the Commission meeting
when the agreement will be considered for final approval. No proportionate fair-share
agreement will be effective until approved by the City Commission.
Sec. 9-566. Determinine proportionate fair-share oblieation.
~ Proportionate fair-share mitigation for concurrency impacts may include. without
limitation. separately or collectively. private funds. contributions ofland and/or construction
and contribution of facilities.
Qll. A development shall not be required to pay more than its proportionate fair-share.
The fair market value of the proportionate fair-share mitigation for the impacted facilities
shall not differ regardless of the method of mitigation.
@ The methodology used to calculate an ap,plicant's proportionate fair-share obligation
shall be. as provided for in section 163.3180(12), Florida Statutes. as follows: The
cumulative number of trips from the proposed development expected to reach roadways
during peak hours from the complete build out of a stage or phase being approved. divided
by the change in the peak hour maximum service volume (MSV) of roadways resulting from
construction of an improvement necessary to maintain the adopted LOS. multiplied by the
construction cost. at the time of developer payment. of the improvement necessary to
maintain the adopted LOS. or
Proportionate Fair-Share = L[(Development Tripsj) / (SV Increasej)] x CostJ
Where:
Development Tripsj = Those trips from the stage or phase of development under
review that are assigned to roadway segment "i" and have triggered a deficiency per
the CMS~
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 6 of 12
SV Increasej = Service volume increase provided by the eligible improvement to
roadway segment "i" per section E:
Costj = Adiusted cost of the improvement to segment "i". Cost shall include all
improvements and associated costs. such as design. right-of-way acquisition.
planning. engineering. inspection. and physical development costs directly associated
with construction at the anticipated cost in the year it will be incurred.
llQ For the Pw:Poses of determining proportionate fair-share obligations. the City shall
determine improvement costs based upon the proiected future cost of the improvement as
obtained from the Capital Improvements Program. the MPO/TIP or the FDOT Work
Program. Where such information is not available. improvement cost shall be determined
using one of the following methods:
Ol An analysis by the City of costs by cross section type that inco11>orates data
from recent proiects and is updated annually and approved by the City Commission.
In order to accommodate increases in construction material costs. proiect costs shall
be adiusted to address inflation: or
ID The most recent issue ofFDOT Transoortation Costs. as adiusted based upon
the type of cross-section (urban or rural): locally available data from recent proiects
on acquisition. drainage and utility costs: and significant changes in the cost of
materials due to unforeseeable events. Cost estimates for state road improvements
not included in the adopted FDOT Work Program shall be determined using this
method in coordination with the FDOT District.
Uti If the City has accepted an improvement project proposed by the applicant. then the
value of the improvement shall be determined using one of the methods provided in this
section.
(Q If the City has accepted right-of-way dedication for all or a portion of the
proportionate fair-share payment. credit for the dedication of the non-site related right-of-way
shall be valued by fair market value established by an independent appraisal approved by the
City and at no expense to the City. The applicant shall supJ>ly a signed and sealed survey and
legal description of the land and a certificate of title or title search of the land to the City at
no expense to the City. If the estimated value of the right-of-way dedication proposed by the
applicant is less than the City estimated total proportionate fair-share obligation for that
development. then the applicant must also payor provide mitigation of the difference.
Sec. 9-567. Impact fee credit for proportionate fair-share miti~ation.
1& Proportionate fair-share contributions shall be applied as a credit against impact fees
to the extent that all or a portion of the proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to address
the same capital infrastructure improvements contemplated by the City's impact fee
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 7 of 12
regulations as set forth in Article VIII of Chapter 9 of the City Code ("impact fee
regulations").
Qll. Impact fee credits for the proportionate fair-share contribution will be determined
when the transportation impact fee obligation is calculated for the proposed development.
Impact fees owed by the applicant will be reduced per the Proportionate Fair-Share
Agreement as they become due per the City's impact fee regulations. If the apj>licant's
proportionate fair-share obligation is less than the development's anticipated road impact fee
for the specific stage or phase of development under review. then the applicant or its
successor must pay the remaining impact fee amount to the City pursuant to the requirements
of the impact fee regulations.
@ MaiO! proiects not included within the impact fee regulations or created under section
9-563(b)(1) and (2) which can demonstrate a significant benefit to the impacted
transportation system mav be eligible at the City's discretion for impact fee credits.
uu.. The proportionate fair-share obligation is intended to mitigate the transportation
impacts of a proposed development at a specific location. As a result. any road impact fee
credit based upon proportionate fair-share contributions for a proposed development cannot
be transferred to any other location.
Sec. 9-568. Proportionate fair-share aereements.
liD... Upon execution of a proportionate fair-share agreement (Agreement) the applicant
shall receive a City certificate of concurrencv approval. Should the applicant fail to apply
for a development permit within twelve (12) months then the Agreement shall be considered
null and void. and the applicant shall be required to reapply.
Qll. Payment of the proportionate fair-share contribution is due in full prior to issuance
of the final development order or recording of the final plat and shall be non-refundable. If
the payment is submitted more than twelve (12) months from the date of execution of the
Agreement. then the proportionate fair-share cost shall be recalculated at the time of payment
based on the best estimate of the construction cost of the required improvement at the time
of payment. pursuant to section 9-566 and adiusted accordinglv.
~ All developer improvements authorized under this article must be completed prior
to issuance of a development permit. or as otherwise established in a binding agreement that
is accompanied by a security instrument that is sufficient to ensure the completion of all
required improvements. It is the intent of this section that anv required improvements be
completed before issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy.
uu.. Dedication of necessary right-of-way for facility improvements pursuant to a
proportionate fair-share agreement must be completed prior to issuance of the final
development order or recording of the final plat.
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 8 of 12
@ Any requested change to a development project subsequent to a development order
may be subject to additional proportionate fair-share contributions to the extent the change
would generate additional traffic that would require mitigation.
ill... Applicants may submit a letter to withdraw from the proportionate fair-share
agreement at any time prior to the execution of the agreement. The application fee and any
associated advertising costs to the City will be non refundable.
(gL The City may enter into proportionate fair-share agreements for selected corridor
improvements to facilitate collaboration among multiple applicants on improvements to a
shared transportation facility.
Sec. 9-569. Appropriation of fair-share revenues.
(& Proportionate fair-share revenues shall be placed in the appropriate project account
for funding of scheduled improvements in the City's CIP. or as otherwise established in the
terms of the proportionate fair-share agreement. At the discretion of the City Commission.
proportionate fair-share revenues may be used for operational improvements prior to
construction of the capacity project from which the proportionate fair-share revenues were
derived. Proportionate fair-share revenues may also be used as the 50% local match for
funding under the FDOT TRIP.
au. In the event a scheduled facility improvement is removed from the CIP. then the
revenues collected for its construction may be applied toward the construction of another
improvement within that same corridor or sector that would mitigate the impacts of
development pursuant to the requirements of section 9-563(b)(2).
Where an impacted regional facility has been designated as a regionally significant
transportation facility in an adopted regional transportation plan as provided in section
339.155. Florida Statutes. then the City may coordinate with other impacted jurisdictions and
agencies to apply proportionate fair-share contributions and public contributions to seek
funding for improving the impacted regional facility under the FDOT TRIP. Such
coordination shall be ratified by the City Commission through an interlocal asp-eement that
establishes a procedure for earmarking of the developer contributions for this pw::pose.
~ Where an applicant constructs a transportation facility that exceeds the applicant's
proportionate fair-share obligation calculated under section 9-566. the City shall reimburse
the applicant for the excess contribution using one or more of the following methods:
ill An impact fee credit account may be established for the applicant in the
amount of the excess contribution. a portion or all of which may be assigned and
reassigned under the terms and conditions acceptable to the City.
ill. An account may be established for the applicant for the purpose of
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No. 2006-20
Page 9 of 12
reimbursing the applicant for the excess contribution with proportionate fair-share
payments from future applicants on the facility.
m The City may compensate the applicant for the excess contribution through
payment or some combination of means acceptable to the City and the applicant.
Sec. 9-570. Cross jurisdictional impacts.
(& In the interest of intergovernmental coordination and to reflect the shared
responsibilities for managing development and concurrencv. the City may enter an agreement
with one or more adiacent local ~overnments to address cross iurisdictional impacts of
development on regional transportation facilities. The agreement shall provide for
application of the methodology in this section to address the cross iurisdictional
transportation impacts of development.
au. A development application submitted to the City subiect to a transportation
concurrency determination meeting all of the following criteria shall be subiect to this
section:
ill All or part of the proposed development is located within one (1) mile of the
area which is under the iurisdiction. for transportation concurrency. of an adiacent
local government: and
m Using its own concurrency analysis procedures. the City concludes that the
additional traffic from the proposed development would use five percent (5%) or
more of the adopted peak hour LOS maximum service volume of a regional
transportation facility within the concurrency iurisdiction of the adiacent local
government ("impacted regional facility"): and
ill The impacted regional facility is proiected to be operating below the level of
service standard. adopted by the adiacent local government. when the traffic from the
proposed development is included.
@ Upon identification of an impacted regional facility pursuant to subsection 0:>)(1 )-(3)
of this section. the City shall notify the applicant and the affected adiacent local government
in writing of the opportunity to derive an additional proportionate fair-share contribution.
based on the proiected impacts of the proposed development on the impacted adiacent
facility.
ill The adiacent local government shall have up to ninety (90) days in which to
notify the City of a proposed specific proportionate fair-share obligation. and the
intended use of the funds when received. The adjacent local government must
provide reasonable iustification that both the amount of the payment and its intended
use comply with the requirements of section 163 .3180( 16). Florida Statutes. Should

the adjacent local government decline proportionate fair-share mitigation under this
section. then the provisions of this section would not apply and the applicant would
be subject only to the proportionate fair share requirements of the City.
m If the subject application is subsequently ap,proved bv the City. the approval
shall include a condition that the applicant provides. prior to the issuance of any
building permit covered by that application. evidence that the proportionate fair-share
obligation to the adjacent local government has been satisfied. The City may require
the adjacent local government to declare. in a resolution. ordinance. or equivalent
document. its intent for the use of the concurrency funds to be paid by the applicant.
