Future Land Use Element -
Objective 1.3 Concurrency. The City shall ensure that future development is provided essential services and
facilities at acceptable standards by incorporating the following policies into the site plan review process
and the City's concurrency management system and mobility strategies.
Policy 1.3.1: Level of Service (LOS) and Mobility StrategiesReview. Review all development and
redevelopment proposals to determine their specific impacts on current LOS standards and mobility
strategies.
Policy 1.3.2: Determination. Deny a development order if a proposed development will result in a
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). Consider the City in its entirety as being effectively
established as a TCEA on July 8, 2009 by Senate Bill 360. This designation provides an exemption to
transportation level of service requirements in an effort to support urban infill, development,
redevelopment and the achievement of the City's redevelopment goals by addressing mobility, urban
design, land use mix, and network connections. Transportation concurrency requirements are modified
within the citywide TCEA to include integration and coordination among the various modes of
transportation. LOS shall be used for monitoring purposes, in order to identify where multi -modal
improvements are needed, and not for development approvals based on capacity. (Cross Reference: See
Transportation Element, Policy 1.1 1.6)
Policy 1.3.3: Improvements. Continue to seek fiscal resources to make improvements necessary to
accommodate growth and inf ill development while maintaining services and facilities according to et
adopted standards and mobility strategies.
Objective 1.6 Transportation /Land Use Compatibility. The City will ensure that population densities, housing
types, employment patterns, and land uses are consistent with the City's transportation network
mobility strategies.
Policy 1.6.2: Multimodal Transportation Improvements. Provide pPropose t multimodal transportation
improvements consistent with the land use patterns on the Future Land Use Map - 2030.

on the applicant's compliance with a certain number of mobility strategies as an offset to the impact of
new vehicle trip generation. If the multimodal improvements needed require roadway improvements,
emphasis shall be upon intersection improvements to improve safety and reduce conflicts between modes;
signalization /Transportation Demand Management improvements (especially those providing transit and
pedestrian priority signalization); bicycle facility improvements, and pedestrian crosswalk /median
improvements.
Policy 1.8.5: Procedures for Inclusion of Annexed Properties into the City's TCEA. Place properties that
involve a large -scale land use amendment into a City TCEA Zone as part of the large -scale amendment
process and amend simultaneously the appropriate TCEA map(s). Place properties that involve a small -
scale land use amendment into a City TCEA Zone as part of the next large -scale amendment cycle, and
amend simultaneously the appropriate TCEA map(s). During the interim period, after obtaining a City land
use category, but prior to placement in a City TCEA Zone, development on property may proceed by the
development providing and funding mobility standards and requirements of the most physically proximate
Zone. If the property is adjacent to two Zones, the property shall meet the standards and requirements of
the Zone lettered closest to the beginning of the alphabet.
Policy 2.1.4: Future Roads and Traffic Mobility Patterns. Adopt appropriate transportation maps to identify
future roads and traf-fiemobility patterns related to the Town Center that assure multimodalbcst routes
through land while attempting to maximize development potential and opportunities consistent with the
Town Center Goal. Determine the final location of future Town Center roads and mobility patterns during
the development process.
Policy 3.1.2: Future Roads and TraffieMobility Patterns. Adopt appropriate transportation maps to identify
future roads and mobilitytraffie patterns related to the GID that p-revidefacilitate multimodal
transportationbcst routes through and safe and convenient access to land while attempting to maximize
development potential and opportunities consistent with GID Goal. Determine the final location of future
roads and mobility patterns within the GID and adjacent area during the development process in
accordance with the Transportation Element.
Policy 3.1.3: Multimodal Access. Plan for transit and multimodal service on transportation thoroughfares
accessing the GID, including a future SeminoleWAY intermodal transit facility for light rail or bus rapid
transit (BRT) service along SR 417. Coordinate the location of transit - related facilities with Seminole
County, LYNX, and the Florida Turnpike Enterprise. Ensure pedestrian and bicycle connection to the future
intermodal facility. Supportive facilities and amenities should include clustered and compact mix of uses
with intensities that support transit, park and ride parking garage with bicycle lockers and facilities, and
covered shelters. (Cross Reference: See Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Policy 1.3.7)

Transportation Element
Objective 1.1. Quality /Level of Service. In urban centers transportation cannot be effectively managed
and mobility cannot be improved solely through the expansion of roadway capacity. The expansion of
Y p Y 9 p Y p
roadway capacity is not always physically or financially possible, and a range of transportation
alternatives is essential to satisfy mobility needs, reduce congestion, and achieve healthy, vibrant centers.
For these reasons, the City shall use Quality /Level of Service (Q /LOS) for monitoring purposes in order to
identify where multimodal improvements are needed, for guiding capital improvements facility /operations
planning to achieve and maintain mobility, to reduce greenhouse gases, and to assist in determining a fair
share that a development should contribute to the achievement of these mobility strategies.
Q /LOS shall not be used for development approvals based on capacity. However, Florida Statutes
require the inclusion of local roadway Level of Service standards within local comprehensive plans, even
within a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), when roadway level of service is not the
measure by which development is approved.
Mobility within the TCEA shall be maintained by the implementation of the strategies and programs
identified in this element and through complimentary policies within the comprehensive plan. If the
development requires roadway improvements, emphasis shall be upon intersection improvements to
improve safety and reduce conflicts between modes; signalization /Transportation Demand Management
improvements (especially those providing transit and pedestrian priority signalization); bicycle facility
improvements, and pedestrian crosswalk /median improvements. - _ - _ - _ - - - _ - - _ _ - _ : - -

applicable to all TCEA Zones, for monitoring intersection capacity based on annual
average daily trips (AADTLas follows:
• Limited Access Roads as prescribed by FDOT
• Arterials (4 -Lane & 6 -Lane) DE + 1 0%
• Arterials (2-Lane) E + 30%
• Collectors D
• Local Roads
Policy 1.1.2: Transit Q /LOS. Coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO and LYNX to assist the County in
maintaining the County's minimumadepted Q /LOS standard for transit, applicable to the citywide
TCEA, to link urban centers and neighborhoods to nearby LYNX stops and subsequently to commuter rail.
Work toward a long range vision of implementing higher capacity transit modes, such as bus rapid transit

Policy 1.11.2: TCEA Zones. Implement the Winter Springs' TCEA as five (5) distinct Zones, designated as A,
B, C, D & E, based on geographic location in relation to the City's existing transportation network, land
use, transit readiness, and future mobility needs.
ZONE A
Zone A is identified as the Central Mobility Hub and is generally located at the heart of the City at the
intersection of State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Rd. and coincides generally with the Town Center /Urban
Central Business District, which is roughly bounded by Tuscawilla Office Park to the south, Central Winds
Park to the west, by Lake Jesup to the north, and by the Cross Seminole Trail pedestrian bridge to the East
as shown on the TCEA Zone Map. Zone A includes major public facilities such as City Hall, Winter Springs
High School, U.S. Post Office, Veteran's Memorial, Magnolia Park, and Central Winds Park. Zone A has
an interconnected network of streets which connect into State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Rd, and it is also
directly accessed by the Cross - Seminole Trail and by a LYNX fixed route (SR 434 Crosstown route). The
goals of Zone A are fully described in the Future Land Use Element under Goal 2 (Town Center) and Goal
5 (Urban Central Business District) and the associated objectives and policies of each. This area supports a
density of 36 dua (the highest in the City), and vertical integration of uses, along with integration of multi-
modal transportation options. Zone A contains both built -up properties and vacant land suitable for new
development. Public facilities and services are available, such as sanitary sewer, potable water, roads,
and recreation areas.
ZONE B
Zone B is identified as the SeminoleWAY Hub and coincides generally with the Greeneway Interchange
District roughly bounded by Zone C (Corridor Zone) to the south, Zone A (Central Mobility Hub) to the
west, Lake St. to the north, and just beyond SR 417 to the East as shown on the TCEA Zone Map and also
includes the Oviedo Market Place area.
The area is centered around the SeminoleWAY Interchange at SR 434 and also includes the Oviedo
MarketPlace area located in the vicinity of the SeminoleWAY interchange at Red Bug Lake Rd.
The Zone is distinguished by its proximity to SR 417 (a Strategic Intermodal System or SIS), also known as
SeminoleWAY and is expected to be heavily served by transit. The area contains primarily vacant land.
The goals of Zone B are fully described in the Future Land Use Element under Goal 3 (Greeneway
Interchange District) and Goal 4 (Mixed Use) and the associated objectives and policies of each. The Zone
is highly market- driven, oriented to certain target industries for the purpose of creating primarily an
employment- oriented mixed use development. This area supports high intensity, and vertical integration of
uses, along with integration of multi -modal transportation options.
Both Zone A & Zone B contain important job- generating economic features with a need for a supportive
future land use pattern and mobility facilities in proximity to those economic assests.
ZONE C
Zone C is identified as the Corridor Zone. The corridor includes properties within 1 /2 mile (2640 feet) of
the centerline of State Road 434, extending from the western City boundary to the eastern City boundary,
exclusive of those parcels included within Zone A or B and properties within 1 /2 mile (2640 feet) of the
centerline of U.S. 17 -92, extending from the northern most City boundary to the southernmost City
boundary. Zone C contains both built -up properties, properties suitable for redevelopment and some
vacant parcels. Public facilities and services are available, such as sanitary sewer, potable water, roads,
and recreation areas.
ZONE D
Zone D is identified as the State Road 419 Corridor. The corridor includes properties within 600 feet of
the centerline of U.S. 17 -92, extending from the northern most City boundary, exclusive of those parcels
included within Zone C. Zone D contains both primarily built -up properties and parcels suitable for
redevelopment. Public facilities and services are available, such as sanitary sewer, potable water, roads,
and recreation areas.
ZONE E
Zone E is identified as the Suburban Development District and includes the remaining area of the City, not
previously included within any other zone. The area is mostly built -out and primarily includes established
single family neighborhoods. The area is not expected to undergo any redevelopment or transition to
higher density within the foreseeable future.

Capital Improvements Element
GOAL 1: Provide public facilities and services which protect and promote the public health, safety and
general welfare of Winter Springs' residents in a sustainable manner and which support mobility
strategies, while accommodating desired future growth and redevelopment at acceptable Levels of
Service.
Objective 1.1: Annual Review. The City shall annually review and modify its Capital Improvements Element
to ensure the financial feasibility and timely provision of capital facilities needed to maintain Level of
Service (LOS) standards and to guide the City's capital and operating expenditures on mobility toward
achieving the stated goal of mobility and reduction of the City's level of greenhouse gases emissions.
Policy 1.1.3: Define capital projects as those projects identified within the other elements of the
Comprehensive Plan that are necessary to meet established LOS and to support mobility strategies,
increase the capacity or efficiency of existing infrastructure, replace failing infrastructure or enhance
facilities and infrastructure that generally have a cost exceeding $50,000.

improvements that would be necessary pursuant to such land use amendments.
Policy 1.2.3: Consider the following thresholds to target initiation and budgeting of construction and /or
purchase of capital facilities to meet projected future needs based on adopted LOS standards:
• Roadways Volumes arc at 90 % of adopted LOS capacity:
• Sewer — 75 % of available capacity is being utilized.
• Water — 75 % of available capacity is being utilized.
•
Stormwater — Adoption of TMDL Master Plan.
Mas n. e a
• Recreation and Open Space — Park lands when 95 % of available land area is utilized or when
90 % of the population exists in areas in need of new park acreage.
Objective 1.4: New Development to Bear a Proportionate Cost. New development shall bear a
proportionate cost of public facility improvements in order to maintain adopted level of service (LOS)
standards and mobility strategies.
Policy 1.4.2: Guarantee the timely installation of capital improvements required to meet LOS and mobility
strategies which are to be funded by a developer, in an enforceable development agreement, interlocal
agreement, or other enforceable agreement.
Execute such agreements under the City's constitutional home rule power as authorized in Chapter 166,
Florida Statutes or as otherwise authorized by law.
Policy 1.4.3: Require a development agreement and /or development to proceed in more than one phase,
when appropriate, to ensure that LOS standards are maintained and mobility strategies implemented.
Policy 1.4.5: Require new developments to be responsible for installing all internal potable and reclaimed
water and sewer systems, vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation systems, and internal
recreation /open space facilities within their development. Connecting internal systems to designated major
potable and reclaimed water and sewer trunk systems and vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation
network is the financial responsibility of the developer. (Cross Reference: See Transportation Element, Policies
1.5.3; 1.5.4; and 1.5.13)
Policy 1.5.6: Continue to participate in METROPLAN ORLANDO to ensure funding distribution for
transportation projects and mobility strategies identified in the SCI.
Objective 1.7: Concurrency Management. The City shall continue to operate a Concurrency Management
System for the review of all proposed developments within the City. As part of the City's Concurrency
Management System, the City will help facilitate school concurrency review by the School Board and shall
rely upon the School Board to determine and report to the City if school capacity is available.
The concurrency evaluation system shall measure the potential impact of any proposal for a development
permit or order upon mobility strategies and the established minimum acceptable levels of service (LOS)
for public schools, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation
station facilities, unless the development permit or order is exempt from the review requirements of
this section. No development permit or order which contains a specific plan of development, including
densities and intensities of development, shall be issued unless adequate public facilities are available to
serve the proposed development as determined by the concurrency evaluation set forth in this section.
