REQUEST: The Community Development Department — Planning Division requests that the
City Commission hold a Public Hearing for Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2010-
18, amending the Comprehensive Plan to create a citywide Transportation Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA) for the City of Winter Springs.
SYNOPSIS: This action applies a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)
designation to the entire City, which allows the City to be exempt from state- mandated
transportation concurrency requirements by establishing interim mobility strategies and funding
mechanisms for the various geographic areas or zones of the City (as identified within the
amendment) in collaboration with Seminole County and adjacent cities. The application of a
TCEA designation to the entire City requires a comprehensive plan text amendment. As
provided by law, the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Winter Springs can be amended only in
accordance with 163.3187(1).
CONSIDERATIONS:

BACKGROUND DATA
What is a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)?
A TCEA is an urban area where infill and redevelopment are encouraged, and where exceptions
to the transportation concurrency requirement are made, providing that alternative modes of
transportation, land use mixes, urban design, connectivity, and funding are addressed. The
primary purpose of a TCEA is to allow development to occur in urbanized areas where
infrastructure already exists, thereby reducing urban sprawl. TCEAs can be used as a tool to
direct growth in ways that promote the overall goals of the community. TCEA concurrency
exceptions apply to all land uses, development and types of facilities within the TCEA. A TCEA
allows development to occur along roadway segments that have traffic volumes above the
capacity at the minimum Level of Service (LOS).
Why Were TCEAs Created?
TCEAs were created by Florida's Legislature because they determined that, often the unintended
result of transportation concurrency based on roadway capacity alone, was the discouragement of
urban infill development and redevelopment. Such unintended results directly conflict with the
goals and policies of the state comprehensive plan.
New TCEA Zones
To ensure that Winter Springs is provided the opportunities that a TCEA affords, the City must
amend its existing comprehensive plan and land development regulations, which base
transportation concurrency on roadway capacity alone. Instead, specific policies, objectives, and
strategies must be adopted into the comprehensive plan that address land use mix, densities,
intensities, mobility strategies, and connections to other regional systems. Amendments to the
text of the Future Land Use Element, Transportation Element, and Intergovernmental
Coordination Element are included along with strategies and projects in the Capital
Improvements Element, which fund the mobility strategies of the TCEA. A map is included
which depicts the TCEA zones.
The Winter Springs' TCEA is divided into Zones A, B, C, D & E. These Zones are based on
their geographic location in relation to the City's existing transportation network, land use, and
future mobility needs.

Commission Public Hearing Item 501

FINDINGS:
(1) Whether the proposed amendment will have a favorable or unfavorable effect on the city's
budget, or the economy of the city or the region;
The amendments enhance the orderly and balanced economic and fiscal development of the City.
(2) Whether the proposed amendment will diminish the level of service (LOS) of public
facilities;
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. Development approvals will be based on the
applicant's compliance with an adopted Mobility Strategy that emphasizes multiple modes of
transportation to offset the impact of new vehicle trip generation. If the multi -modal
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.
(3) Whether there will be a favorable or unfavorable impact on the environment or the natural or
historical resources of the city or the region as a result of the proposed amendment;
The amendment enhances the orderly and balanced social, physical and environmentally
responsible development of the City;
(4) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
state comprehensive plan set forth in Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, and the East Central Florida
Regional Policy Plan, adopted by Rule 29F- 19.001, Florida Administrative Code;
The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the State
Comprehensive Plan set forth in Chapter 187, F.S. and the (1998) East Central Florida Regional
Policy Plan, adopted by Rule 29F- 21.001, Florida Administrative Code as well as the Draft East
Central Florida 2060 Strategic Policy Plan currently under review.
(5) Whether the City is able to provide adequate service from public facilities to the affected
property, if the amendment is granted, and whether the amendment will promote the
cost/effective use of or unduly burden public facilities;
The amendment provides the cost/effective use and expansion of public facilities.
(6) Whether the amendment is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and land use;
The amendment includes an analysis of the growth trends and travel patterns and interactions
within the City between land use and transportation, and the compatibility between the future
land use and transportation elements.
(7) Whether approval of the amendment will cause the comprehensive plan to be internally
inconsistent;
October 25, 2010
Commission Public Hearing Item 501
Page 4 of 5
Internal consistency within the Comprehensive Plan is maintained.
(8) Whether the proposed amendment will promote or adversely affect the public health, safety,
welfare, economic order, or aesthetics of the city or region; and
The amendment promotes the public health, safety, welfare, economic order, and aesthetics of
the City.
(9) The contents of any Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) prepared pursuant to 163.3191,
Florida Statutes.
As part of the City's 2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report process, it was recognized that the
City should consider implementation of a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)
or similar concurrency management alternative for the Town Center and Greeneway Interchange
Districts and the developable land between the two areas, to encourage urban infill development.
As a result, the City's EAR -Based Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan included a policy
(Transportation Element Policy 1.11.6) directing the City to further this objective through study
and implementation.
The amendment is included in the City's bi- annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle. Both
a Transmittal Hearing (held July 26, 2010) and Adoption Hearing are required prior to issuance
of a Notice of Intent by the State Department of Community Affairs
FISCAL IMPACT: Developments will be required to implement, or provide a funding
contribution to directly implement mobility strategies (identified by the City), based on a
proposed development's anticipated net, new trip generation. Subsequent to this amendment, the
City will further examine other implementation strategies (which may include mobility fees,
proportionate share mitigation, fees in -lieu, and/or combination) to support and fund mobility
and will amend its Land Development Code as needed. The City still maintains the ability to
collect transportation impact fees to ensure that new development pays for its fair share towards
the building or redevelopment of road capacity.

City Of Winter Spring,
Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development
Department presented this Agenda Item and stated, "It is a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment" and continued to inform the Board Members on this topic.
Continuing, Ms. Sahlstrom noted that, "We are planning to take this to the Commission
at our last Commission Meeting in July [2010] so it can be Transmitted and we will get it
back barely in time to put it out there for Adoption."
The Future Land Use Element was discussed.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department addressed the Board
Members to further explain the Citywide Transportation Concurrency Exception Area
(TCEA).
The Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) Zones were displayed.
Chairman Lacey asked, "How different is the red version we have here than what you
sent us ?" Ms. Sahlstrom replied, "The main portion that is different is the part that deals
with the Transportation Element which is beginning on page 4. There were a few minor
tweaks to other Elements, but primarily the majority are in this part, the Transportation
Element."
Discussion ensued on Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Objective 1.3:
Transportation Coordination.
Regarding street lighting along Tuskawilla Road, Mr. Fields stated, "I think to — research
the history on that, we probably have to get with Steve Richart (Urban Beautification
Services Division Manager, Community Development Department). He really is
probably the single person who is most informed about street lights throughout Winter
Springs both in the public streets and State and County roads. I will be glad to get with
Steve (Richart) tomorrow and see what he knows about that. Maybe he can provide some
insight that we do not have here tonight and we can get back to you on that."

Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "As we move forward in defining what future costs we will have,
we will probably want to revisit our Transportation Impact Fee and broaden it so it is not
just related to building roads."
The Transportation Element was discussed next.
Mr. Fields stated, "This plan deliberately does not specify the detail in which these
Mobility Strategies will be funded and where that burden will fall on the City. Will it be
by Grant money, by Impact Fees or new Fees? It does not specifically say that. I would
look at the Mobility Strategies more as mitigation."
Continuing, Mr. Fields said, "We do not know what the State is expecting as far as
funding, but we are going to work our way through with the Strategies at least and then
hopefully detail that process at another time. You are not being asked to Approve any
new Impact Fees — it is just the conceptual framework for Strategies, which we feel like
by Law we are required to implement."
Ms. Sahlstrom explained the term `BRT" or Bus Rapid Transit to the Board Members
and displayed a PowerPoint presentation.
Tape 2 /Side A
In regard to Policy 1.11.9: Annually determine the City's percentage of achievement of
mobility strategies and multimodal Q/LOS (Duality/Level of Service)., Ms. Sahlstrom
stated, "We will continue to work with Seminole County and the Cities to ensure that we
are coordinating with them and coordinating Mobility Strategies and we are also
coordinating opportunities and looking at our personal needs within the City."
Mr. Fields asked, "They are getting a lot tonight and they are being asked to act on this,
would it be acceptable even after tonight if they had more time to review this or if they
had questions or comments, could they get those to us before the next Commission
Meeting on the 26 (July 2010) ?" Ms. Sahlstrom replied, "What I will do is, I will need
a recommendation from you tonight, but then if you find other things that you question or
that you have comments about, I can include that in my Agenda Item to the
Commission."
Ms. Sahlstrom noted that, "We absolutely need to go forward on the 26a' (July 2010) and
to get Transmittal to get this to the State."
Chairman Lacey then asked Ms. Sahlstrom, "Did you want to address specifically the
Intergovernmental (Coordination Element) or Capital Improvements Element ?" Ms.
Sahlstrom responded, "That has not changed that much since from what I previously sent
out, but I can go over it if you like." Chairman Lacey replied, "Not necessary."

Mr. Stevenson stated, "We did want to make it a Conditional Use. We did want to limit

building to try to be flexible in that area while not allowing a one hundred percent
(100 %) residential building or a one hundred percent (100 %) residential community

Office of Comprehensive Planning
This report is prepared pursuant to Rule 9J- 11.010, F.A.C.
INTRODUCTION
The following Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report is based upon the Department's
review of the City of Winter Springs 10 -1 proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan pursuant
to Chapter 1633184, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Any objections discussed relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J -5, Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a
recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other approaches
may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have initially been raised by
one of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference between the Department's objection
and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection would take
precedence.
Each objection must be addressed by the City and corrected prior to the amendment being resubmitted
for the Department's compliance review. Objections that are not addressed may result in a
determination that the amendment is not in compliance. The Department may have raised an objection
regarding missing data and analysis items, which the local government may consider not applicable to
its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying the local government's non - applicability
pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a determination
on the non - applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the objection will be
considered addressed.
The comments that follow the objections and recommendations section are advisory in nature.
Comments will not form bases of a determination of non - compliance. They are included to call
attention to items raised by the Department's reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning
planning principles, methodology or logic,.as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar,
organization, mapping, and reader comprehension.
Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other state review
agencies and other agencies, organizations, and individuals. These comments are advisory to the
Department and may not form bases of Departmental objections unless they appear under the
"Objections" heading in this report.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS (DCA No. 10 -1)
I. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, F.S., AND RULE 9J -5, F.A.C.
The Department received the City of Winter Springs 10 -1 amendment package on August 5, 2010.
The City has proposed several text amendments in its Future Land Use, Transportation,
Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvements Elements to establish a Citywide
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (Ordinance 2010 -18). Two policies are also proposed in
the Future Land Use Element to establish intensity standards for residential use within the existing
Greeneway Interchange District future land use category (Ordinance 2010 -20). The Department has
identified the following three objections to the proposed Citywide Transportation Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA):

The City has proposed amendments that are intended to meet the requirements of Section
163.3180(5)(b)4., F.S. However, the proposed amendment does not entirely meet the requirements
of Section 163.3180(5), F.S., and Rule 9J- 5.005(6), F.A.C., to adopt adequate land use and
transportation strategies to support and fund mobility, for the following reasons:
Land Use Strategies
As proposed, the amendment does not demonstrate that an overall land use strategy has been
developed for implementing a Citywide TCEA. The Future Land Use Element currently requires
interconnections within and between the Town Center and Greeneway Interchange Districts,
encourages compactness and walkability within the Mixed Use and Commercial categories and
Urban Central Business District and promotes a live -work environment in the Commercial category
and a vertical mix of uses and mass transit Citywide. However, there is no demonstrated Citywide
land use strategy to support and fund mobility throughout all of the proposed TCEA Zones.
There is no overall and integrated land use strategy set forth that supports and funds mobility,
including multimodal interconnectivity between the US 17 -92 Community Redevelopment Area, the
Village Walk area and within the land use categories other than the Greeneway Interchange and
Town Center Districts, which include the Public /Semi- Public, Commercial and Medium and High
Density Residential categories for example. The transportation strategies and options listed in
Transportation Element 1.11.3 are not supported by the guidelines and standards needed within the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) for implementing a Citywide TCEA within all TCEA Zones.
For example, as proposed, FLUE Policy 1.3.2 requires the City to achieve its redevelopment goals
"by addressing urban design and land use mix and network connections" and Policies 3.2.4 and 5.1.2
set forth intensity and building height criteria for the Greeneway Interchange District and the
densities and intensities required to support transit within the Urban Central Business District,
respectively. However, it is not clear how the Citywide TCEA will be implemented within future
land use categories other than within the Greeneway Interchange, Town Center and Urban Central
Business Districts. Also, proposed FLUE Policies 3.2.7 and 4.2.6 require trail linkages within the
Greeneway Interchange District and connectivity among existing, new and future development
within the Mixed Use category, respectively; however, there are no similar requirements or
strategies set forth within the other areas of the City.
City of Winter Springs —10 -1
ORC Report Page 3 of 8
October 8, 2010
Transportation Strategies
The plan does not contain the guidelines and/or policies necessary to adequately specify what
programs are required to address all of the mobility needs within the proposed Citywide TCEA.
Proposed Transportation Element Objective 1.1 states "if development requires roadway
improvements, emphasis shall be upon improving safety at intersections and reducing conflicts
between modes, signalization/transportation demand management, and bicycle and pedestrian
facility improvements." However, the amendment is not supported by any master plan(s) indicating
that a system -wide, integrated and non - piecemeal approach has been established for implementing
these improvements according to the mobility strategies and options listed in proposed Policy 1.11.3.
The plan does not identify the specific mobility projects needed to implement the required and
optional strategies proposed in Policy 1.11.3.
Proposed FLUE Policy 1.6.3 requires development approvals to be based upon "the applicant's
compliance with a certain number of mobility strategies as an offset to the impact of new vehicle trip
generation." It is not clear how the City will determine, per proposed FLUE Policy 1.6.3, what
"certain number" of strategies and/or options will need to be implemented. The Transportation
Element sets forth the routes, service areas and frequency of public transit and includes a map
illustrating the public transit routes and major traffic generators. However, there is no supporting
data and analysis to that transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities have been inventoried and
evaluated and that needed improvements have been identified and prioritized. Therefore, it is not
evident based on the extent of any missing links in these facilities whether new transit hubs,
terminals, stops/stations, and bicycle lanes and sidewalks are projected to be needed and where.
Also, as indicated in the comments provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (attached),
while current FLUE Policy 2.1.4 requires the City to "adopt appropriate transportation maps to
identify future roads and mobility patterns related to the Town Center that assure multimodal
routes," maps should be prepared as part of developing the City's mobility strategies, not as a result
of future development activity. For example, these maps are needed now to accomplish proposed
FLUE Policy 3.1.4, which requires the City to "plan for and facilitate the seamless integration of
future multimodal transportation."
Funding Mobility
As proposed, the amendment does not demonstrate how mobility within the Citywide TCEA will be
funded. According to the City's Local Planning Agency and Public Hearing minutes provided in
support of the amendment, the City had acknowledged that "the plan deliberately does not specify
the detail in which these mobility strategies will be funded and where that burden will fall on the
City." The Public Hearing Agenda indicates that "subsequent to this amendment, the City will
further examine other implementation strategies (which may include mobility fees, proportionate
share mitigation, fees in -lieu, and/or combination) to support and fund mobility..."
Proposed FLUE Policy 1.6.3 requires development to contribute to the City's multimodal system
"through the implementation of or financial contributions toward identified mobility strategies
approved by the City Commission," while requiring development approvals to be based upon "the
applicant's compliance with a certain number of mobility strategies as an offset to the impact of new
vehicle trip generation." Although the mobility strategies and possible options for mobility credits
are described by TCEA Zone in Transportation Element Policy 1.11.3, it is unclear what criteria will
be used to determine whether a developer is required to implement any number of those strategies
listed, whether it would be required'to make a financial contribution toward any of those strategies
and/or whether it qualifies for any of the possible options for mobility credits.

Further, proposed Capital Improvements Element Objective 1.2 indicates use of proportionate fair -
share for funding the mobility strategies proposed in Policy 1.11.3 and requires the improvements to
be "included in capital or operating budgets and within the Capital Improvements Element."
However, the amendment does not set forth any guidelines and standards for determining the amount
of proportionate fair -share or any other methods for funding mobility, including how the required
funding amounts from each source are calculated. Also, as indicated in the comments provided by
FDOT, it is not clear how the timing of projects and amount of fair -share funds will be determined
without an inventory and evaluation of existing and projected multimodal facilities and without
identifying the projects needed to implement the mobility strategies.

F.A.C.
Recommendations:
The City should modify its Comprehensive Plan to include meaningful and predictable guidelines
and standards and supporting data and analysis upon which the intended mobility strategies can be
planned, funded and implemented on a system -wide basis. This includes:
Land Use Strategies
Modify the FLUE to set forth a Citywide land use strategy that is complimentary to the mobility
strategies proposed in Transportation Element Policy 1.11.3, and supportive of the specific projects
needed to accomplish the required and optional strategies set forth in Policy 1.11.3. The land use
strategy should include guidelines and standards that set forth requirements for providing for system-
wide interconnectivity and ridership among all land uses within all five TCEA Zones, including
those within the US 17 -92 Community Redevelopment Area, the Village Walk area, and the
Public /Semi - Public, Commercial and Medium and High Density Residential future land use
categories. The FLUE should set forth Citywide land use requirements and development regulations
for constructing and providing for interconnections among bicycle lanes and trails, sidewalk and
crosswalk facilities.
Amend the FLUE to include goals, objectives and policies that apply Citywide, requiring all land
uses to be coordinated with the transportation strategies that will support and fund mobility and
setting forth standards for TCEA - supportive development, including that which provides for transit
stops and hubs and reduce or eliminate service gaps. The FLUE should include goals, objectives and
policies to describe how the mobility strategies and options indentified in Transportation Element
Policy 1.11.3 will be implemented, including setting forth the mobility projects needed to
accomplish these strategies and options, and set forth standards and guidelines for linking
development approvals to the construction of specific projects.
Transportation Strategies
Modify the Transportation Element to include master plan(s) demonstrating a system -wide,
integrated and non - piecemeal approach has been established for identifying, prioritizing and
implementing multimodal improvements according to the mobility strategies and options listed in
Policy 1.11.3. The master plan should be supported by data and analysis to show that transit, bicycle
and pedestrian facilities have been inventoried and evaluated and needed improvements have been
identified and prioritized according to current and projected needs. Based on the extent of any
missing links in these facilities, the City should demonstrate it has planned for the five- and ten -year
City of Winter Springs —10 -1
ORC Report Page 5 of 8
October 8, 2010
horizons and has determined where mobility strategies need to be implemented with respect to where
growth is occurring and is planned. Based on a master plan that indicates where new transit and
parking hubs, terminals and transfer stations, and bicycle lanes and/or sidewalks are projected to be
needed, amend Policy 1.1 1.3 to relate approval of development with construction of the projects
needed within each TCEA Zone in order to implement the transportation strategies.
Funding Mobility
Demonstrate how mobility within the proposed Citywide TCEA will he funded. For example, FLUE
Policy 1.6.3 should be modified or a corresponding policy should be adopted to set forth the criteria
to be used for determining whether a developer is required to implement any number of the
strategies listed in Transportation Element Policy 1.11.3, whether the developer would be required to
make financial contribution(s) toward any of those strategies, and/or how a development would
qualify for any of the possible options for mobility credits. Further, modify Capital Improvements
Element Objective 1.2 or adopt a corresponding policy to set forth the guidelines and standards to be
used for determining the amount of funding from proportionate fair- share, mobility fees, fees in -lieu,
and/or any combination or percentage thereof. Finally, provide a five -year schedule of capital
improvements identifying the capital improvement projects needed to implement the Citywide
TCEA and the corresponding costs and funding sources.

Transportation Element Policy 1.1.1 sets forth Level of Service (LOS) standards of E +30% for two -
lane arterials and E +10% for four- and six -lane arterials, which is not consistent with the
requirements in Section 163.3180(10), F.S. for establishing an adequate LOS standard that is
compatible with the adopted LOS standards in adjacent jurisdictions. As indicated in the comments
provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (attached) the LOS standards as proposed in
Transportation Element Policy 1.1.1 are not based on a professionally acceptable methodology, are
not predictable or adequate and may not be achievable.
Authority:
Sections: 163.3177(2), (3), (6)(a) and (j), (8) and (10) and 163.3180(10), F.S.
Rules: 9J- 5.005(3), 9J- 5.015(3)(b)(3) and 9J- 5.019(4)(c)1, F.A.C.
Recommendation:
Coordinate and establish a LOS standard for arterial roadways that considers compatibility with the
adopted LOS standards for arterial roadways in adjacent jurisdictions. Provide data and analysis to
demonstrate the proposed LOS standards for arterial roadway facilities are adequate.
Several policies proposed within the Transportation Element are not meaningful and predictable with
respect to establishing a Citywide Transportation Concurrency Service Area. More specifically:
1. Proposed Policy 1.1.1 does not set forth a Level of Service (LOS) standard for Limited Access
Roads, as it is instead simply stated "as prescribed by FDOT." Therefore, the policy is self -
amending.
2. Proposed Policy 1.1.2 indicates the City's intent to "work toward a long range vision of
implementing higher capacity transit modes" and sets forth a future LOS standard for LYNX's
PickUpLine "as triggered by need." It is not clear how the City's efforts to "work toward" a
City of Winter Springs — 10 -1
ORC Report Page 6 of 8
October 8, 2010
long range vision will be measured. As indicated in the comments provided by FDOT, it is not
clear how this need is to be evaluated and no horizon is specified to identify when "future" is.
3. Proposed Policy 1.1.3 sets forth a Pedestrian LOS as "Presence of pedestrian path/sidewalk
within '/4 mile of fixed route transit and Zones A and B," requiring "gaps to be identified as
part of capital improvements programming evaluation and during development review for new
and redevelopment projects." As indicated in the comments provided by FDOT and because
there is no existing conditions baseline established, it is not clear whether the goal of 25
percent established in proposed Transportation Element Policy 1.1.4 for Bicycle Q/LOS is
reasonable. Also, it is not clear what is meant by "shift to the next quality level" when the
percentage of arterial and collector road corridors with hike lane or shared lane pavement
markings and signage exceeds 25 percent.
4. Proposed Policy 1.11.4 requires proportionate fair -share to be determined based on projected
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). It is not stated how VMT will be measured or what method
will be applied to the VMT.
Authority:
Sections: 163.3177(3)(a)3, (6)(a), (c) and (j) and (10), F.S.
Rules: 9J- 5.003(62), 9J- 5.005(3) and (6), 9J- 5.006(3)(b)1, 9J- 5.016(3)(c)4, 9J- 5.0055(2)(a) and (b),
and 9J- 5.019(4)(c)1, F.A.C.
Recommendations:
Amend the Transportation Element as follows:
1. Amend Policy 1.1.1 to set forth a LOS standard for Limited Access Roads.
2. Revise Policy 1.1.2 to include a date by which the City's "long range vision of implementing
higher capacity transit modes" will he accomplished. Also, revise the Policy to indicate how
the "need" for LYNX's PickUpLine will be determined.
3. Revise Policy 1.1.3 to clarify what is meant by "shift to the next quality level" when the
percentage of arterial and collector road corridors with bike lane or shared lane pavement
markings and signage exceeds 25 percent.
4. Modify Policy 1.11.4 to indicate how Vehicle Miles Traveled will be measured and how
proportionate fair -share will be applied.
II. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City of Winter Springs proposed 10 -1 amendment is not consistent with the following goals and
policies of the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes):
187.201(15), Land Use, Goal (a) and Policy (b)6;

GOAL 1: Quality of Life. To ensure that the character, magnitude, and location of all
land uses provides a system for orderly growth and development (as defined in sections
163.3221 and 380.04, Florida Statutes) that achieves a balanced, natural, energy efficient,
and economic environment, and enhances the quality of life of all residents throughout
and beyond the 2030 planning horizon.
* **
Policy 1.1.4: Innovative Design. Encourage energy - efficient and innovative land use
patterns (such as, multimodal horizontally and vertically integrated mixed use
development, cluster development, low impact development, LEED, Green Globes,
Florida Green Building Coalition standards, and other such environmentally - friendly
development practices).
* **
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.
Policy 1.3.1: Level of Service (LOS) and Mobility StandardsRcview. Review all
development and redevelopment proposals to determine their specific impacts on current
LOS and mobility standards.
Policy 1.3.2: Determination. Deny a development order if a proposed development will
result in a degradation of the adopted LOS, unless it can be demonstrated that sufficient
improvements will be in place concurrent with the impacts of such development to
maintain the adopted minimum LOS standard. Transportation QLOS, however, as a result
of the citywide Transportation Concurrence Exception Area (TCEA) designation 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
Future Land Use Element, Goal 6 et seq. and Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy
1.11.1)
Policy 1.3.3: Improvements. Continue to seek fiscal resources to make improvements
necessary to accommodate growth and infill development while maintaining services and
facilities according to at adopted standards and mobility strategies.

opportunities. Follow -up these efforts with any needed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map - 2030, and/or Code of Ordinances as well as
enhancements to the vacant parcel map and database illustrating infill development and
redevelopment opportunities. Consider providing incentives for infill development and
redevelopment that support the City's targeted program priorities.
Policy 1.5.4: Conversions. Support the transition or conversion of older residential
homes fronting onto arterial roadways, to a live –work or commercial use, by reducing the
required development standards when appropriate, while maintaining compatibility and
• protecting adjacent neighborhood uses. (Cross Reference: See Housing Element, Policy
2.4.9)
* **
Policy 1.5.7: Compatibility. Maintain site design requirements and subdivision
regulations in the Code of Ordinances which adequately address the impacts of new
development on adjacent properties in all land use categories and zoning districts and
which encourage property owners to make property upgrades which enhance and increase
property values. (Cross Reference: See Housing Element, Policy 2.2.11)
* **
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 transportation modes and services proposed to serve these areasGity'
. In support of the establishment of a citywide Transportation
Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), the City adopts mobility strategies to enhance
transportation options and to enable a reduction of vehicle miles traveled. (Cross
Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Goal 6 et seq.)
Policy 1.6.1: Cross Access Easements. Require shared driveways and cross access
easements between adjacent properties where feasible to support efficiency in travel and
to reduce demand on arterial and collector streets. Ense- dDevelopment projects

Policy 1.6.4: High Traffic Count Uses. Encourage land uses that generate high traffic
counts to locate adjacent to arterial roads and mass transit systems.
Policy 1.6.5: On Site Traffic Flow. Require development to provide safe and convenient
on site motorized and nonmotorized traffic flow, adequate pedestrian facilities and
connections, and sufficient parking for both motorized and nonmotorized vehicles.
Policy 1.6.6: Connectivity. Encourage travel between uses and access to transit without
requiring the use of arterial roads by ensuring that existing, new, and future development

through associated technical committees with neighboring jurisdictions, such as
METROPLAN ORLANDO, the Council of Local Governments (CALNO),
SeminoleWAY Way initiative and the Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC).
* **
GOAL 2: Town Center. The City seeks to create a Town Center based upon traditional
design standards for development that will become the identifying focus of the City's
downtown and contribute to an increased and diversified tax base for the City. The
primary purpose of the Town Center shall be to create an economically successful,
vibrant, aesthetic, compact, multimodal, diverse, mixed use (including horizontal and
vertical integration of uses) neo- traditional urban environment, designed on a pedestrian
scale and with a pedestrian orientation. The Town Center is to be a place where people
can reside in a mix of single and multiple family dwellings, work, gather to shop, relax,
recreate, be entertained, attend community events, and enjoy the natural beauty of lands
located in the Town Center. The Town Center should be created through public and
private investment and development.
* * *
Objective 2.1: Location. The Town Center should be generally centered around the
intersection of S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Road, as depicted on the City's Future Land Use
Map - 2030. Existing public facilities such as the City Hall, Winter Springs High School,
Central Winds Community Park, and the U. S. Post Office are included within the Town
Center designation.

GOAL 3: Greeneway Interchange District: The City hereby creates a Greeneway
Interchange District (GID) land use category to target industries with high quality, higher
income jobs and an increased tax base for the City.
Objective 3.1: Location. The GID shall be located in proximity to S.R. 417 and the
interchange area on S.R. 434, as depicted on the City's Future Land Use Map - 2030.
The GID is located within the "target area" identified by Seminole County in 2007 as
"Seminole AY Way ", which runs north from S.R. 426 in the City of Oviedo to
Interstate 4 in the City of Sanford, following the S.R. 417 corridor.

urban land area as determined by the Office of Economic and Demographic Research. As
such, pursuant to subsection 163.3180 (5)(b)1 .a., FS the City is designated a
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. The City shall utilize this designation to
responsibly encourage growth in specific areas within the City.
Objective 6.1: TCEA Creation. The TCEA 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, network connectivity and reduction in
the reliance of the single occupant automobile and reduction in vehicle miles traveled.
Transportation concurrency requirements are modified within the citywide TCEA to
include integration and coordination among the various modes of transportation as
outlined in policies for mobility found in the Multimodal Transportation Element and
through complementary policies in other elements. LOS shall be used for monitoring
purposes, in order to identify where multi -modal improvements are needed, and not for
Page 8 of 10
development approvals based on capacity. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use
Element, Objective 1.6: Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.11.1)
Policy 6.1.1: TCEA Mobility Stratexies. Maintain mobility within the City by the
implementation of the following strategies and programs in the Multimodal
Transportation Element and through complementary policies in other elements of the
comprehensive plan. TCEA mobility strategies may include, but are not limited to:
(Cross Reference: Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.11.3)
(1) Transportation demand management program;
(2) Transportation system management program;
(3) Revised parking standards and regulations;
(4) Local and regional transit service;
(5) Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities;
(6) Transit facility improvements;
(7) Complete streets policy implementation;
(8) Neighborhood traffic management programs; and
(9) Transit and pedestrian oriented site design standards;
Policy 6.1.2: 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 and as further described in Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.11.2.
Policy 6.1.3: Interim Standards'. Further define and establish mobility standards, projects
and funding mechanisms by July 2011, consistent with Section 163.3180(5)(b)4., F.S.
Policy 6.1.4: 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 City shall assign the Zone after making a determination as to which is most
appropriate.
Policy 6.1.5: TCEA Monitoring. Monitor development activity and the implementation
of mobility standards within the TCEA to ensure that the exception area is achieving
increased mobility. Review mobility achievement against baseline condition inventory
and respective targets each fiscal year, in conjunction with the annual identification of

EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE 2010 -18
Multimodal Transportation Element
GOAL 1: To develop a safe, convenient, efficient and coordinated system of motorized and
nonmotorized transportation facilities which ensures adequate movement of people and goods
through and within the City and which incorporates transportation strategies to address
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
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 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.
In recognition that the City is in the process of transitioning from a largely single occupant
vehicle mode to a multimodal tem _Mmobili within the TCEA will be achieved_b the
implementation of the strategies and programs identified in this element and through
complementary policies throughout 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.

crossing width to the shortest possible distance given the characteristics of the roadway; use of
adequate lighting; adequate timing for traffic signals; and the provision of facilities for the
handicapped. Coordinate with FDOT and the County to implement this policy.
Policy 1.5.15: Continue to work with Seminole County and other organizations involved in the
acquisition and development of trail systems within Seminole County to complete the missing
link at Layer Elementary School at S.R. 419 and to add connecting linkages between established
neighborhoods (such as the Highlands) and the Cross Seminole Trail.'
Policy 1.5.16: Facilitate the integration of BRT or similar transit circulator service into Zone B,
by requiring the inclusion of supportive infrastructure, facilities and amenities into the
Greeneway Interchange District planning process. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use • Element, Policy 3.1.4) _ _ _ - - - - - - : - - ..- : - • - - _ -- - - ..:: -
Policy 1.5.17: Encourage the implementation of the S.R. 434 Crosstown bus route and linkage
to the planned Central Florida Commuter Rail ( SunRail). (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use
Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.6.7)
Policy 1.5.18: Establish a TrailsBicyde and Pedestrian Advisory Committee made up of
residents who will work together to pursue the planning and implementation of an
interconnected trail, pedestrian and bicycle circulation system, encourage increased use of
nonmotorized transporation in the City and make appropriate recommendations to the City
Commission.
Policy 1.5.19: Consider the feasibility of a route along S.R. 434 connecting the Town Center
and the Greeneway Interchange District, with the proposed facility to be limited to transit,
bicycle, and/or pedestrian access. Environmental feasibility and traffic circulation would be the
primary effort of the initial consideration. If permitting issues are not found to be
insurmountable, a study may be performed to address issues such as potential routes and
potential funding sources for capital and operating costs, and additional factors for a transit
component such as operating agency, headways, hours of operation, projected ridership, and
pricing.
Objective 1.6: Public Transit. The City shall adopt policies to encourage the implementation
and usage of public transit facilities, including LYNX and the planned Central Florida Commuter
Rail (SunRail). Public transit provides many benefits, including improved mobility, safety,
security, and environmental quality. Public transit also enhances economic opportunity by
expanding the labor pool, improving job accessibility, and reducing traffic congestion. The
environmental benefits of public transit include items such as improved air quality, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced stormwater runoff from paved surfaces.
Page 8 of 21
Policy 1.6.1: Encourage land uses and site development that promotes public transit within
designated public transportation corridors, with priority given to those projects that will bring
the greatest increase in transit ridership and reduction to greenhouse gas emissions, traffic
congestion and air pollution.
Policy 1.6.2: Require residential development with greater than 200 units or commercial
developments • enerat • - 500 ave . e dai t • to incorporate a
transit shelter, benches, and bicycle parking into their site plan, if located along a transit route, or
if not located along a transit route, to construct a transit shelter or equivalent multimodal facility
at a location to be determined by the City. Transit ridership to and from such developments
along a transit route shall be encouraged and further improved by including elements, such as:
• Clearly delineated, well lit walkways from the building to the transit stop; and
• Commercial buildings placed closer to the street with access and windows
directed to the street. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy
5.2.4)
Policy 1.6.3: Work to ensure that all roads serviced by public transit routes function at a LOS
sufficient to support the bus service.
Policy 1.6.4: Notify LYNX of any proposed traffic generators /attractors submitted to the City
for review.
Policy 1.6.5: Work with LYNX to improve existing bus stops, and to design new ones to
include benches, bicycle parking, signage, lights, and protection from the elements. Bus stops
shall also be accessible for the handicapped and elderly passengers.
Policy 1.6.6: Coordinate with LYNX to accommodate riders with special needs.
Policy 1.6.7: Inventory sidewalks within one - quarter to one -half mile of the new LYNX
Crosstown bus route to identify missing links in the pedestrian system. Implement new
sidewalks where sidewalks do not exist or where sidewalks are in disrepair and are hazardous,
as funding becomes available to provide access to transit and promote ridership. (Cross
Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element,
Policy 1.5.17)
Objective 1.7: Land Use Coordination. Throughout the planning period, the City shall
coordinate the transportation system needs with land use designations, and ensure that existing
and proposed population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are
consistent with the transportation modes and services proposed for these areas.
Policy 1.7.1: Establish standards that promote the location of affordable housing in proximity to
employment opportunities and transit services.
Policy 1.7.2: Work with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of
Transportation and other trail- related advocacy and support agencies for assistance in
developing a local trail network with connectivity to the regional trail system.
Policy 1.7.3: Encourage land uses that generate high traffic counts to locate adjacent to arterial
roads and mass transit corridors.
Page 9 of 21
Policy 1.7.4: Update the traffic study portion of this Multimodal Transportation Element
periodically to reflect the most current population projections.
Policy 1.7.5: Ensure that development in the Town Center consists of
pedestrian -sized blocks with preferred block lengths of 300 -500 feet. Travel distance is
influenced by street connectivity, which has a big impact on whether a person will choose to
walk. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 2.2.1)
Objective 1.9: Intergovernmental Coordination. Traffic circulation planning will be
coordinated with METROPLAN ORLANDO, FDOT, Seminole County, neighboring jurisdictions
and other transportation related agencies.
• • • • •
Policy 1.9.4: Promote a comprehensive transportation planning process that coordinates state,
regional, and local transportation plans.
• • • • •
Policy 1.9.10: Coordinate with the FDOT and the City of Oviedo to establish a long term
concurrency management system to address potential roadway deficiencies along S.R. 434 (east
of S.R. 417), and prioritize roadway improvements for this corridor within a time frame of up to
ten years. The long term concurrency management system will be coordinated with the Capital
Improvements Element and will include periodic monitoring of LOS conditions and funding
status.
Objective 1.10: Transportation Management Systems. The City shall evaluate the need and
feasibility of implementing transportation management systems.
Policy 1.10.1: Consider adopting and /or promoting Transportation System Management (TSM)
or Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies to enhance traffic capacity,
movement and safety, if needed. Consider additional TSM/TDM strategies, such as staggered
work hours, transit, trail, ridesharing/carpooling incentives, guaranteed ride home and other
TSM/TDM measures.
Objective 1.11: Concurrency Management System. The City shall maintain a Concurrency
Management System to ensure that transportation facilities and services needed to support
development and redevelopment are available concurrent with the impacts of such
development.
41Policy 1.1 1.1: 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
Page 10 of 21
to include integration and coordination among the various modes of transportation. Q /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 Future

Policy 1.1 I.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). A future local
circulator or BRT route is planned to connect Zone A and B. 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
Page 11 of 21
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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way and is expected to be heavily served by transit. A future local circulator
or BRT route is planned to connect Zone B and A. 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 % 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 '/z 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. In
2009, a LYNX route began servicing the City and now provides direct access to the University
of Central Florida. Ridership has exceeded expectations. This route is at the heart of the City's
mobility strategies, as it is the "mobility artery" that pedestrian and bicycle feeders will link into
and whichwill in turn will provide the City with connectivity to SunRail. However, older areas of
Zone C have no sidewalks. The provision of sidewalks within a 1/4 mile of the LYNX fixed
route has been identified as one of the major components of the City's pedestrian Q/LOS.
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. Much of this area has an
Page 12 of 21
industrial component. The Cross Seminole Trail extends through a portion of Zone D.
Industrial businesses within this area might be receptive to TDM.
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. The provision
of a bicycle network spaced at intervals of I -1/2 miles apart east -west and north -south across
the City will have the greatest impact on Zone E, particularly if an east -west multiuse path or
trail "midtown" can be established within the FP &L easement. This easement runs mostly
parallel to SR 434 and approximately 1 miles to the south of it. Additionally, a trail
connector should be established at the north western part of the City and Southeastern part of
the City which together with the "midtown' trail could provide regional connectivity citywide.

Policy 1.1 I.3b: Net, New Average Daily Trip Generation Mitigation Requirements. In addition to
those items specified in Policy 1.11.3a, ensure continued mobility within the City, by requiring
proposed development or redevelopment to also provide mobility mitigation credits (for all
project phases), based upon the net, new average daily trip generation projected by the
project:
Criteria Net New Average Trip Required Number of Mitigation
Level Generation Credits
Level 0 less than 300 1to requirement
Level 1 300 to 999 1' 'viability Credit
Level 2 1000 to L999 2 Mobilit�Credits
Level 3 2,000 to 2,999 3 Mobility Credits
Level 4 3,000 to 4,999 S Mobility Credits
Level 5 over 5000 12 Viability Credits
The developer may sign a development agreement or contract with the City for the provision of
the required standards. The mitigation projects listed below and proposed by the developer to
satisfy the required mitigation credits shall be subject to final approval by the City. The City
may authorize mitigation projects to satisfy the requirements for transportation facilities that
are not directly impacted by the proposed development but are deemed priorities of the City's
transportation system and which contribute to the City's overall mobility strategy.
a In recognition that the mitigation project costs will vary substantially, the City shall adopt a
methodology into the land development code that establishes a proportionate and equitable
relationship between the cost of the mitigation projects and the number of credits required for
mitigation.

id) The City, with consultation of FDOT, will present the evaluation and information for the
implemented mobility strategies and the effects on multimodal mobility, as referenced
above, and the extent to which the strategy has affected mobility within the City.
l In addition, the City will evaluate the strategies to determine whether modifications to
the strategies are necessary. This evaluation will be conducted every seven years and the
results will be included in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report along with any
recommendations to refine the mobility strategies through the EAR -based amendments.
Policy 1.11.10: Detail Traffic Analysis. A detailed traffic analysis will be conducted every seven
years in conjunction with the TCEA Monitoring Report as part of the City's EAR to provide
information to the City and FDOT to evaluate the effectiveness of the City's mobility strategies.
Objective 1.12: Transportation Funding. Transportation improvements and services will be
funded from a mix of local, regional, and State agency road, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
programs by coordinating with these various agencies.
Policy 1.12.1: FDOT Work Program and MPO Five -Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
Seek funds from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (METROPtAN ORLANDO) or any
similar agency to finance improvements to deficient roadways by programming eligible projects

EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE 2010 -18
Multimodal Transportation Element
GOAL I: To develop a safe, convenient, efficient and coordinated system of motorized and
nonmotorized transportation facilities which ensures adequate movement of people and goods
through and within the City and which incorporates transportation strategies to address
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
Objective 1.1. Ouality /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 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 (0/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.
In recognition that the City is in the process of transitioning from a largely single occupant
vehicle mode to a multimodal em 44mobili within the TCEA will be achieved_b the
implementation of the strategies and programs identified in this element and through
complementary policies throughout 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.

Policy 1.5.10: Prepare, adopt and implement a pedestrian circulation plan. Priority will be given
to those walkways for which heavy recreational usage is projected, as well as those along
roadways between residential areas and schools, which can be implemented concurrently with
other roadway improvements
Policy 1.5.11: Require an effective and safe pedestrian circulation system as a part of any new
public or private roadway design and construction. Such a system shall be given major
consideration in any substantial road improvement project.
Policy 1.5.12: Require that interconnected, unencumbered sidewalks be constructed
concurrently with new development, by the developer. Sidewalks connecting to nearby
schools, parks, bus stops, or other activity areas which function as pedestrian generators are to
be provided to the extent required by the City's land development code. (Cross Reference: See
Capital Improvements Element, Policy 1.4.5)
Page 7of21
Policy 1.5.13: Implement bicycle lanes on both sides of arterial and collector streets where
feasible, except in the Town Center where travel lanes are also utilized as bicycle lanes.
Coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO, the County and the State to expand the current
bicycle lane system. Implement sidewalks on both sides of all arterial and collector streets.
Policy 1.5.14: Make intersections pedestrian- friendly whenever possible, by limiting the
crossing width to the shortest possible distance given the characteristics of the roadway; use of
adequate lighting; adequate timing for traffic signals; and the provision of facilities for the
handicapped. Coordinate with FDOT and the County to implement this policy.
Policy 1.5.15: Continue to work with Seminole County and other organizations involved in the
acquisition and development of trail systems within Seminole County to complete the missing
link at Layer Elementary School at S.R. 419 and to add connecting linkages between established
neighborhoods (such as the Highlands) and the Cross Seminole Trail.'
Policy 1.5.16: Facilitate the integration of BRT or similar transit circulator service into Zone B,
by requiring the inclusion of supportive infrastructure, facilities and amenities into the
Greeneway Interchange District planning process. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use
Element. Policy 3.1.4) _ _ _ -
Policy 1.5.17: Encourage the implementation of the S.R. 434 Crosstown bus route and linkage
to the planned Central Florida Commuter Rail (SunRail). (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use
Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.6.7)
Policy 1.5.18: Establish a TrailsBicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee made up of
residents who will work together to pursue the planning and implementation of an
interconnected trail, pedestrian and bicycle circulation system, encourage increased use of
nonmotorized transporation in the City and make appropriate recommendations to the City
Commission.
Policy 1.5.19: Consider the feasibility of a route along S.R. 434 connecting the Town Center
and the Greeneway Interchange District, with the proposed facility to be limited to transit,
bicycle, and/or pedestrian access. Environmental feasibility and traffic circulation would be the
primary effort of the initial consideration. If permitting issues are not found to be
insurmountable, a study may be performed to address issues such as potential routes and
potential funding sources for capital and operating costs, and additional factors for a transit
component such as operating agency, headways, hours of operation, projected ridership, and
pricing.
Objective 1.6: Public Transit. The City shall adopt policies to encourage the implementation
and usage of public transit facilities, including LYNX and the planned Central Florida Commuter
Rail (SunRail). Public transit provides many benefits, including improved mobility, safety,
security, and environmental quality. Public transit also enhances economic opportunity by
expanding the labor pool, improving job accessibility, and reducing traffic congestion. The
environmental benefits of public transit include items such as improved air quality, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced stormwater runoff from paved surfaces.
Page 8 of 21
Policy 1.6.1: Encourage land uses and site development that promotes public transit within
designated public transportation corridors, with priority given to those projects that will bring
the greatest increase in transit ridership and reduction to greenhouse gas emissions, traffic
congestion and air pollution.
Policy 1.6.2: Require residential development with greater than 200 units or commercial
developments -nerat'u• • - 500 ave . d' - _ • " _ - - to incorporate a
transit shelter, benches, and bicycle parking into their site plan, if located along a transit route, or
if not located along a transit route, to construct a transit shelter or equivalent muttimodal facility
at a location to be determined by the City. Transit ridership to and from such developments
along a transit route shall be encouraged and further improved by including elements, such as:
• Clearly delineated, well lit walkways from the building to the transit stop; and
• Commercial buildings placed closer to the street with access and windows
directed to the street. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy
5.2.4)
Policy 1.6.3: Work to ensure that all roads serviced by public transit routes function at a LOS
sufficient to support the bus service.
Policy 1.6.4: Notify LYNX of any proposed traffic generators /attractors submitted to the City
for review.
Policy 1.6.5: Work with LYNX to improve existing bus stops, and to design new ones to
include benches, bicycle parking, signage, lights, and protection from the elements. Bus stops
shall also be accessible for the handicapped and elderly passengers.
Policy 1.6.6: Coordinate with LYNX to accommodate riders with special needs.
Policy 1.6.7: Inventory sidewalks within one - quarter to one -half mile of the new LYNX
Crosstown bus route to identify missing links in the pedestrian system. Implement new
sidewalks where sidewalks do not exist or where sidewalks are in disrepair and are hazardous,
as funding becomes available to provide access to transit and promote ridership. (Cross
• Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element,
Policy 1.5.17)
Objective 1.7: Land Use Coordination. Throughout the planning period, the City shall
coordinate the transportation system needs with land use designations, and ensure that existing
and proposed population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are
consistent with the transportation modes and services proposed for these areas.
Policy 1.7.1: Establish standards that promote the location of affordable housing in proximity to
employment opportunities and transit services.
Policy 1.7.2: Work with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of
Transportation and other trail - related advocacy and support agencies for assistance in
developing a local trail network with connectivity to the regional trail system.
Policy 1.7.3: Encourage land uses that generate high traffic counts to locate adjacent to arterial
roads and mass transit corridors.
Page 9 of 21
Policy 1.7.4: Update the traffic study portion of this Multimodal Transportation Element
periodically to reflect the most current population projections.
Policy 1.7.5: Ensure that development in the Town Center consists of
pedestrian -sized blocks with preferred block lengths of 300 -500 feet. Travel distance is
influenced by street connectivity, which has a big impact on whether a person will choose to
walk. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 2.2.1)
• • • • •
Objective 1.9: Intergovernmental Coordination. Traffic circulation planning will be
coordinated with METROPLAN ORLANDO, FDOT, Seminole County, neighboring jurisdictions
and other transportation related agencies.
• • • • •
Policy 1.9.4: Promote a comprehensive transportation planning process that coordinates state,
regional, and local transportation plans.
• • • • •
Policy 1.9.10: Coordinate with the FDOT and the City of Oviedo to establish a long term
concurrency management system to address potential roadway deficiencies along S.R. 434 (east
of S.R. 417), and prioritize roadway improvements for this corridor within a time frame of up to
ten years. The long term concurrency management system will be coordinated with the Capital
Improvements Element and will include periodic monitoring of LOS conditions and funding
status.
•••••
Objective 1.10: Transportation Management Systems. The City shall evaluate the need and
feasibility of implementing transportation management systems.
Policy 1.10.1: Consider adopting and /or promoting Transportation System Management (TSM)
or Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies to enhance traffic capacity,
movement and safety, if needed. Consider additional TSM/TDM strategies, such as staggered
work hours, transit, trail, ridesharing/carpooling incentives, guaranteed ride home and other
TSM/TDM measures.
• • • • •
Objective 1.1 1: Concurrency Management System. The City shall maintain a Concurrency
Management System to ensure that transportation facilities and services needed to support
development and redevelopment are available concurrent with the impacts of such
development.
fielicy I- 6iPolicy 1.11.1: 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

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 Tuskawilla 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). A future local
circulator or BRT route is planned to connect Zone A and B. 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
Page 11 of 21
•
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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way and is expected to be heavily served by transit. A future local circulator
or BRT route is planned to connect Zone B and A. 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
p urpose 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 indudes properties within h 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. In
2009, a LYNX route began servicing the City and now provides direct access to the University
of Central Florida. Ridership has exceeded expectations. This route is at the heart of the City's
mobility strategies, as it is the "mobility artery" that pedestrian and bicycle feeders will link into
and whichwill in turn will provide the City with connectivity to SunRail. However, older areas of
Zone C have no sidewalks. The provision of sidewalks within a 1/4 mile of the LYNX fixed
route has been identified as one of the major components of the City's pedestrian Q/LOS.
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. Much of this area has an
Page 12 of 21
industrial component. The Cross Seminole Trail extends through a portion of Zone D.
Industrial businesses within this area might be receptive to TDM.
ZONEE
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. The provision
of a bicycle network spaced at intervals of 1-1/2 miles apart east -west and north -south across
the City will have the greatest impact on Zone E, particularly if an east -west multiuse path or
trail "midtown" can be established within the FP &L easement. This easement runs mostly
parallel to SR 434 and approximately 1-1/2 miles to the south of it. Additionally, a trail
connector should be established at the north western part of the City and Southeastern part of
the City which together with the "midtown' trail could provide regional connectivity citywide.

Policy 1.11.3b: Net, New Average Daily Trip Generation Mitigation Requirements. In addition to
those items specified in Policy 1.11.3a, ensure continued mobility within the City, by requiring
proposed development or redevelopment to also provide mobility mitigation credits (for all
project phases), based upon the net, new average daily trip generation projected by the
project:
Criteria Net New Average Daily Trip Required Number of Mitigation
Level Generation Credits
Level 0 Less than 300 No requirement
Level 1 300 to 999 1 Mobility Credit
Level 2 1.000 to 1.999 2 Mobility Credits
Level 3 2COO to 2,999 3 Mobility Credits
Level 4 3,000 to 4,999 8 Mobility Credits
Level 5 Over 5 00 12 Mobility Credits
The developer may sign a development agreement or contract with the City for the provision of
the required standards. The mitigation projects listed below and proposed by the developer to
satisfy the required mitigation credits shall be subject to final approval by the City. The City
may authorize mitigation projects to satisfy the requirements for transportation facilities that
are not directly impacted by the proposed development but are deemed priorities of the City's
transportation system and which contribute to the City's overall mobility strategy.
4 In recognition that the mitigation project costs will vary substantially, the City shall adopt a
methodology into the land development code that establishes a proportionate and equitable
relationship between the cost of the mitigation projects and the number of credits required for
mitigation.

EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE 2010 -18
Multimodal Transportation Element
GOAL 1: To develop a safe, convenient, efficient and coordinated system of motorized and
nonmotorized transportation facilities which ensures adequate movement of people and goods
through and within the City and which incorporates transportation strategies to address
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
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 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.
In recognition that the City is in the process of transitioning from a largely single occupant
vehicle mode to a multimodal system _P4mobility within the TCEA will be achieved by the
implementation of the strategies and programs identified in this element and through
complementary policies throughout 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.

existing schools, parks, or transit fixed service routes and shall be considered a OLOS standard
of "B ". The QLOS is not a standard that is intended to be achieved on an annual basis, but
rather as an objective to be achieved by 2030. Many of the older areas of the City, including
those within '/4 mile of schools, parks and the new LYNX 434 route, are lacking in sidewalks. A
comprehensive inventory of these facilities will be completed as a baseline by July 201 1 for use in
monitoring improvement. Specific project identification and service gaps shall be utilized for
consideration as part of Capital Improvements programming evaluation and for consideration
during development review for new and redeveloping projects.
Policy 1.1.4: Bicycle QJLOS. The bicycle Q/LOS shall be the presence of designated bike lanes,
bike routes, and /or multi -use paths or trails, which run the length of the City in an east -west,
north -south grid pattern at 1 -1/2 mile intervals. The provision of this citywide network shall be
considered a QLOS standard of "B ". The ()LOS is not a standard that is intended to be
achieved on an annual basis, but rather as an objective to be achieved by 2030. Except for the
Cross Seminole Trail, bicycle facilities within Winter Springs are primarily undesignated. A
comprehensive inventory of existing roadway facilities will be completed as a baseline by July
201 1 for use in monitoring improvement.

the Multimodal Transportation Element. Requirements for compatibility may include, but are
not limited to providing clearly delineated routes through parking lots to safely accommodate
pedestrian and bicycle circulation.
Policy 1.5.9: Include landscaping and streetscaping (including lighting) as roadway design
components, where appropriate, in order to enhance the function of the road for all users.
Policy 1.5.10: Prepare, adopt and implement a pedestrian circulation plan. Priority will be given
to those walkways for which heavy recreational usage is projected, as well as those along
roadways between residential areas and schools, which can be implemented concurrently with
other roadway improvements
Policy 1.5.11: Require an effective and safe pedestrian circulation system as a part of any new
public or private roadway design and construction. Such a system shall be given major
consideration in any substantial road improvement project.
Policy 1.5.12: Require that interconnected, unencumbered sidewalks be constructed
concurrently with new development, by the developer. Sidewalks connecting to nearby
schools, parks, bus stops, or other activity areas which function as pedestrian generators are to
be provided to the extent required by the City's land development code. (Cross Reference: See
Capital improvements Element, Policy 1.4.5)
Page 7of21
Policy 1.5.13: Implement bicycle lanes on both sides of arterial and collector streets where

Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.6.7)
Policy 1.5.18: Establish a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee made up of
residents who will work together to pursue the planning and implementation of an
interconnected trail, pedestrian and bicycle circulation system, encourage increased use of
nonmotorized transporation in the City and make appropriate recommendations to the City
Commission.
Policy 1.5.19: Consider the feasibility of a route along S.R. 434 connecting the Town Center
• and the Greeneway Interchange District, with the proposed facility to be limited to transit,
bicycle, and/or pedestrian access. Environmental feasibility and traffic circulation would be the
primary effort of the initial consideration. If permitting issues are not found to be
insurmountable, a study may be performed to address issues such as potential routes and
potential funding sources for capital and operating costs, and additional factors for a transit
component such as operating agency, headways, hours of operation, projected ridership, and
pricing.
Objective 1.6: Public Transit. The City shall adopt policies to encourage the implementation
and usage of public transit facilities, including LYNX and the planned Central Florida Commuter
Rail (SunRail). Public transit provides many benefits, including improved mobility, safety,
security, and environmental quality. Public transit also enhances economic opportunity by
expanding the labor pool, improving job accessibility, and reducing traffic congestion. The
environmental benefits of public transit include items such as improved air quality, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced stormwater runoff from paved surfaces.
Page 8 of 21
Policy 1.6.1: Encourage land uses and site development that promotes public transit within
designated public transportation corridors, with priority given to those projects that will bring
the greatest increase in transit ridership and reduction to greenhouse gas emissions, traffic
congestion and air pollution.
Policy 1.6.2: Require residential development with greater than 200 units or commercial
developments Qen over 1500 average daily t to incorporate a
transit shelter, benches, and bicycle parking into their site plan, if located along a transit route, or
if not located along a transit route, to construct a transit shelter or equivalent multimodal facility
at a location to be determined by the City. Transit ridership to and from such developments
along atransit route shall be encouraged and further improved by including elements, such as:
• Clearly delineated, well lit walkways from the building to the transit stop; and
• Commercial buildings placed closer to the street with access and windows
directed to the street. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy
5.2.4)
Policy 1.6.3: Work to ensure that all roads serviced by public transit routes function at a LOS
sufficient to support the bus service.
Policy 1.6.4: Notify LYNX of any proposed traffic generators /attractors submitted to the City
for review.
Policy 1.6.5: Work with LYNX to improve existing bus stops, and to design new ones to
include benches, bicycle parking, signage, lights, and protection from the elements. Bus stops
shall also be accessible for the handicapped and elderly passengers.
Policy 1.6.6: Coordinate with LYNX to accommodate riders with special needs.
Policy 1.6.7: Inventory sidewalks within one - quarter to one -half mile of the new LYNX
Crosstown bus route to identify missing links in the pedestrian system. Implement new
sidewalks where sidewalks do not exist or where sidewalks are in disrepair and are hazardous,
as funding becomes available to provide access to transit and promote ridership. (Cross
Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 1.4.6 and Multimodal Transportation Element,
Policy 1.5.17)
Objective 1.7: Land Use Coordination. Throughout the planning period, the City shall
• coordinate the transportation system needs with land use designations, and ensure that existing
and proposed population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are
consistent with the transportation modes and services proposed for these areas.
Policy 1.7.1: Establish standards that promote the location of affordable housing in proximity to
employment opportunities and transit services.
Policy 1.7.2: Work with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of
Transportation and other trail - related advocacy and support agencies for assistance in
developing a local trail network with connectivity to the regional trail system.
Policy 1.7.3: Encourage land uses that generate high traffic counts to locate adjacent to arterial
roads and mass transit corridors.
Page 9 of 21
Policy 1.7.4: Update the traffic study portion of this Multimodal Transportation Element
periodically to reflect the most current population projections.
Policy 1.7.5: Ensure that development in the Town Center consists of
pedestrian -sized blocks with preferred block lengths of 300 -500 feet. Travel distance is
influenced by street connectivity, which has a big impact on whether a person will choose to
walk. (Cross Reference: See Future Land Use Element, Policy 2.2.1)
Objective 1.9: intergovernmental Coordination. Traffic circulation planning will be
coordinated with METROPLAN ORLANDO, FDOT, Seminole County, neighboring jurisdictions
and other transportation related agencies.
Policy 1.9.4: Promote a comprehensive transportation planning process that coordinates state,
regional, and local transportation plans.
Policy 1.9.10: Coordinate with the FDOT and the City of Oviedo to establish a long term
concurrency management system to address potential roadway deficiencies along S.R. 434 (east
of S.R. 417), and prioritize roadway improvements for this corridor within a time frame of up to
ten years. The long term concurrency management system will be coordinated with the Capital
Improvements Element and will include periodic monitoring of LOS conditions and funding
status.
Objective 1.10: Transportation Management Systems. The City shall evaluate the need and
feasibility of implementing transportation management systems.
Policy 1.10.1: Consider adopting and /or promoting Transportation System Management (TSM)
or Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies to enhance traffic capacity,
movement and safety, if needed. Consider additional TSM/TDM st.r ategies, such as staggered
work hours, transit, trail, ridesharing/carpooling incentives, guaranteed ride home and other
TSM/TDM measures.
Objective 1.11: Concurrency Management System. The City shall maintain a Concurrency
Management System to ensure that transportation facilities and services needed to support
development and redevelopment are available concurrent with the impacts of such
development.
Peiicy- .1- 1-.6:Policy 1.11.1: 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
Page 10 of 21
to include integration and coordination among the various modes of transportation. 0/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 Future

Policy I.I I.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 Tuskawilla 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). A future local
circulator or BRT route is planned to connect Zone A and B. 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
Page 11 of 21
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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way 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 Seminole Way and is expected to be heavily served by transit. A future local circulator
or BRT route is planned to connect Zone B and A. 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, alongwith 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 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. In
2009, a LYNX route began servicing the City and now provides direct access to the University
of Central Florida. Ridership has exceeded expectations. This route is at the heart of the City's
mobility strategies, as it is the "mobility artery" that pedestrian and bicycle feeders will link into
and whichwill in turn will provide the City with connectivity to SunRail. However, older areas of
Zone C have no sidewalks. The provision of sidewalks within a 1/4 mile of the LYNX fixed
route has been identified as one of the major components of the City's pedestrian Q/LOS.
ZONED
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. Much of this area has an
Page 12 of 21
industrial component. The Cross Seminole Trail extends through a portion of Zone D.
Industrial businesses within this area might be receptive to TDM.
ZONEE
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. Theprovision
of a bicycle network spaced at intervals of 1-1/2 miles apart east -west and north -south across
the City will have the greatest impact on Zone E, particularly if an east -west multiuse path or
trail "midtown" can be established within the FP &L easement. This easement runs mostly
parallel to SR 434 and approximately 1-1/2 miles to the south of it. Additionally, a trail
connector should be established at the north western part of the City and Southeastern part of
the City which together with the "midtown' trail could provide regional connectivity citywide.

Policy 1.11.3b: Net, New Average Daily Trit Generation Mitigation Requirements. In addition to
those items specified in Policy 1.11.3a, ensure continued mobility within the City, by requiring
proposed development or redevelopment to also provide mobility mitigation credits (for all
project phases ), based upon the net, new average daily trip generation projected by the
project:
Criteria Net New Average Daily Trip Required Number of Mitigation
Level Generation Credits
Level 0 Less than 300 No requirement
Level 1 300 to 999 1 MobWity Credit
Level 2 1.00D to 1,999 2 Mobility Credits
Level 3 2,000 to 2,999 3 Mobility Credits
Level 3,000 to 4,999 S Mobility Credits
Levels Over 5.000 12 Mabiliity Credits
The developer may sign a development agreement or contract with the City for the provision of
the required standards. The mitigation projects listed below and proposed by the developer to
satisfy the required mitigation credits shall be subject to final approval by the City. The City
may authorize mitigation projects to satisfy the requirements for transportation facilities that
are not directly impacted by the proposed development but are deemed priorities of the City's
transportation system and which contribute to the City's overall mobility strategy.
a In recognition that the mitigation project costs will vary substantially, the City shall adopt a
methodology into the land development code that establishes a proportionate and equitable
relationship between the cost of the mitigation projects and the number of credits required for
mitigation.
