INTRODUCTION
Introduction | 1
Our Community. Ocoee is a growing and
dynamic central Florida community and a
great place to call home. Approximately 16
square miles in size, Ocoee is located in west
Orange County, nestled between the cities of
Apopka to the north, Orlando to the east,
Windermere to the south and Winter Garden
to the west. Centrally located and with direct
access to a regional transportation system
that includes the Florida Turnpike, State Road
50/Colonial Drive, State Road 408/the East-
West Expressway, and State Road 429/the
Western Expressway, the City is a great place
to grow a business and is minutes from major
employers and entertainment destinations,
Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea
World and the Orlando Regional Airport.
Historical Perspective. Beginning as a
township of 820 residents, Ocoee was first
settled adjacent to Starke Lake in the mid-
1800s. The Town of Ocoee was the name of a
subdivision platted in 1886 by Dr. H.K. Clarke,
Charles J. Chunn, and R.B.F. Roper. This name
Ocoee came from a river in Tennessee, which
means "apricot vine" in the Cherokee
language - what is now called the
passionflower. The city logo is inspired by this
flower. The Town of Ocoee was recognized as
a municipality by the Florida legislature in 1923
and became the City of Ocoee in May 1925.
Just as major roadways have played a role in
Ocoee’s current growth, transportation
catalyzed the City’s development in the past.
Completion of the Florida Midland Railroad in
the 1880s brought many settlers to the area.
The population boom propagated by the
railroad led to the abandonment of crops
such as corn, cotton, and sweet potatoes in
favor of oranges and vegetables grown and
shipped to northern states during the winter.
One prominent citrus grower, General William
Temple Withers, built his family home at 16 East
Oakland Avenue in 1888. The home still stands
today and serves as a museum and event
venue. In 1987, it was added to the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places, and taking
a tour gives visitors a detailed glimpse into the
past. The City is also home to another
significant building, Ocoee Christian Church.
Added to the U.S. National Register of Historic
Places in 1997, it is believed to be the oldest
church in continuous use in the State of
Florida. Scenes from the movie My Girl were
filmed there, with several other directors
utilizing the Ocoee area for their productions.
Starke Lake Studios, also known as Gettings
Studio, has served as a music recording
destination for countless artists, such as Daddy
Yankee and Duran Duran. Gloria Estefan
even recorded her hit “Reach” for the 1996
Olympic Games at this studio.
While Ocoee has many historical bright spots,
a lamentable event from the past cannot be
ignored. The 1920 Election Day Massacre
fundamentally altered the trajectory of our
community. Many African Americans had
their land taken from them, were driven out of
the town, or were killed. Nothing will erase this
past tragedy, nor should it be forgotten. Over
the past twenty (20) years, City officials and
the community have come together to heal
and to embrace and celebrate diversity. The
City established a Human Relations Diversity
Board, whose objective is to promote
understanding, respect, goodwill, and
equality among all citizens and businesses of
the City of Ocoee. Building on the City’s
mission of equity, in 2023, the City opened
Unity Park and dedicated it to the memory of
the African American lives and properties lost.
Current Environment. The City remains
focused in our efforts to provide a desirable
community in which to live, work and raise a
family while maintaining a high standard of
living. With input from citizens and property
owners, the City of Ocoee is charting a future
through this Comprehensive Plan Update,
and subsequent Land Development Code
Update, to direct growth and redevelopment
while protecting its resources in a manner that
furthers a sense of community.

FLU GOAL: THE CITY SHALL CREATE A HEALTHY,
SUSTAINABLE AND BALANCED COMMUNITY
WHERE GROWTH OCCURS IN A SUSTAINABLE
MANNER THAT PROTECTS AND PRESERVES THE
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT MEETS THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL,
CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC NEEDS OF PRESENT
AND FUTURE RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY
OWNERS.
FLU Objective 1 - Future Land Use Map (FLUM):
The City of Ocoee shall maintain a Future Land
Use Map that complements and protects the
residential character of established
neighborhoods, creates transitional land uses
and a vibrant mix of uses in the City’s
Downtown, stimulates growth within Target
Areas and along Target Corridors, and
innovates coordinated and connected
development in a manner that maximizes
existing and planned public facilities,
services, and infrastructure.
FLU Policy 1.1: The official Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) shall be embodied in FLU Figure Nos. 1,
1a, and 1b, as may be amended from time to
time, and shall embody the vision for how the
City will grow and shall ensure the
complementary blend, transition, and
organization of land uses to support a healthy
community and vibrant economy.
FLU Policy 1.2: For purposes of complying with
S.163.3177(6)(a)10 of F.S., The Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) series shall consist of the following
maps:
(1) FLU Figure Nos. 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5 as well as
(2) CON Figure Nos. 1, 2, and 3 within the CON
Element
The Future Land Use Map shall regulate the
intensity and density of development, as
defined herein, in accordance within the
future land use categories described in this
Element.
FLU Policy 1.3: Intensity shall be established by
the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) allowable
under the future land use designation, and
density shall be established by the number of
dwelling units per acre allowable under the
future land use designation.
Development intensity shall be calculated by
the sum of the horizontal gross floor area of all
floors or stories of all buildings, excluding
below grade floor areas, such as basements
and underground parking, measured from the
exterior surface of the walls, whereas density
shall be calculated by the total number of
dwelling units on a development site divided
by the land area of the development site in
acres.
FLU Policy 1.4: Maximum non-residential
intensity and residential density are not an
entitlement and may not be achievable in all
situations. Intensity and density, as
constructed, will depend on the site’s ability to
comply with site urban design and
engineering regulations and requirements
within the City’s Land Development Code
and Engineering Standards Manual, as well as
relevant regulations of regional and state
agencies.
FLU Policy 1.5: For purposes of evaluating
impacts on transportation, utilities, and other
infrastructure demands, the determination of
the maximum development potential of a site
shall utilize the FAR and/or density of the gross
land area less land areas that are required to
be set aside or protected due to their
environmentally sensitive nature, such as
wetlands, floodplains, water ways, or surface
waters and a 25-foot upland buffer, as well as
aquifer recharge areas, and land areas
required by policy to be set aside or preserved
for open space and buffers.
FLU Policy 1.6: Upon official vacation and/or
abandonment of a public road, street, or
alley, the future land use designation
applicable to the property to which it is
reverted shall apply to such vacated or
abandoned road, street, or alley.
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT

FLU Objective 2 - Future Land Use Categories:
Growth and desired development patterns
shall be directed by the Future Land Use Map
through a future land use category system that
regulates density and intensity of
development and protects natural resources
to achieve the Plan Vision.
FLU Policy 2.1: The Future Land Use Map shall
contain the following Future Land Use
categories:
• Mixed Use (MU)
• Commercial (COM)
• Professional Offices and Services (POS)
• Light Industrial (LI)

• Low Density Residential (LDR)
• Recreation and Open Space (ROS)
• Conservation and Preservation (CON)
MIXED USE CATEGORY
FLU Policy 2.2: The Mixed Use future land use
designation is intended to apply to urban
areas targeted for dense and intense urban
developments. Development within the MU
category shall not exceed a density of 20
dwelling units per acre or an intensity of 3.0
FAR, and on properties two (2) acres or
greater, new or redevelopment shall provide
for a minimum of six (6) dwelling units per acres
and 0.15 FAR, in accordance with this
Objective.
Development on lands designated Mixed Use
shall contain one of the following mixes of uses
plus at least one (1) ancillary civic use, such as
a plaza, mini-park, community urban garden,
or other public gathering space.

in the Land Development Code.
For purposes of determining maximum
development potential, the percent of land
area to be used in the calculation shall be
based on the number of proposed uses in a
development. Such square footage and
number of dwelling units can be spatially
located as needed and in accordance with
the Land Development Code.
Depending on the context of the surrounding
area, the mixture of uses can consist of vertical
and horizontal use integration or a
combination thereof, with the vertical use
integration being the preferred and
incentivized option. Under certain, limited
circumstances, a single-use development
may be permitted on a parcel of one acre of
less within the Mixed Use designation if such
use is deemed by the Land Use Administrator
to be a use that complements or functionally
completes the character of the surrounding
area or the use is a significant economic
generator for the City.
FLU Policy 2.3: Application of the MU
designation shall be limited to lands meeting
at least one (1) of the below locational

HSG GOAL: THE CITY SHALL CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRAMS AND
PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON HOUSING RESOURCES
IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY
OF SAFE, AFFORDABLE, AND QUALITY HOUSING
TO MEET THE DIVERSE HOUSING NEEDS OF
CURRENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS,
INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIAL HOUSING
NEEDS.
HSG Objective 1 - Attractive City: The City will
develop and implement through the Land
Development Code a Live Here, Grow Here
program to make it more attractive for young
people to stay in or move to Ocoee and to
thrive through the availability of diverse,
quality housing options and safe accessibility
to schools, jobs, shopping, entertainment,
recreation, and personal services via
multimodal transportation choices.
HSG Policy 1.1: To ensure the adequate supply
of housing to meet diverse housing needs of
current and anticipated populations, the City
shall conduct biennial assessments of housing
demand and housing availability by type,
age, value, and monthly cost, and shall map
the distribution or location of these housing
units in relation to needed facilities, services,
and resources.
HSG Policy 1.2: The City will incentivize new,
infill, and redevelopment projects that
provide quality and diverse housing
typologies within one-quarter (1/4) mile of
shopping, jobs, entertainment, recreation,
personal services, and schools, and where
such accessibility is via existing and planned
multi-modal transportation options or facilities
that meet the adopted level of service
standard for such facility.
HSG Policy 1.3: New residential developments
shall be designed and constructed in a
manner that prioritizes an attractive public
realm and that is well-balanced and
integrated with the surrounding
neighborhood or area.
HSG Policy 1.4: Land use decisions shall
consider existing and proposed population
demographics and the availability of quality
and diverse housing stock to accommodate
such demographics.
HSG Policy 1.5: The City shall update the Land
Development Code to adopt standards and
regulations that promote, support, or stimulate
quality communities through sound, time-
tested urban and site design principles.
HSG Objective 2 - Protection of Residential
Character: The City will protect the character
of existing residential areas throughout the
city by diverting or discouraging through-
traffic, using active code enforcement, and
giving priority consideration of residential infill.
The City will biennially assess the condition of
the City’s housing stock and implement
regulations and codes, in coordination with
the Future Land Use Map, that prevent or
eliminate residential blight along major
corridors.
HSG Policy 2.1: The City shall eliminate
substandard housing units or conditions by
developing and implementing regulations
and standards within the Land Development
Code to address housing quality, aesthetics,
and structural soundness as well as lot/parcel
aesthetics and upkeep, particularly along key
corridors as defined in the Mobility Element
and Code.
HSG Policy 2.2: The City shall discourage
redevelopment and demolition practices that
significantly reduce existing housing stock or
result in the displacement of very low-, low-,

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
Recreation and Open Space Element GOPs | 1
REC GOAL: THE CITY SHALL ENSURE THE
COORDINATED PROVISION OF A
COMPREHENSIVE, ACCESSIBLE, INCLUSIVE,
AND SUSTAINABLE PARKS AND RECREATION
SYSTEM THAT ENHANCES THE HEALTH,
WELLNESS, AND OVERALL WELL-BEING OF
PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
REC Objective 1 - Developing A Well-Planned
Comprehensive System: Quality parks,
recreational areas, trails, and civic open
spaces that are close to home are essential to
the community’s overall health and well-
being. Recreational activities and
programming are vital to childhood
development and serve to unite and
strengthen the community. Parks and
adaptable infrastructure make the city more
resilient when confronted by natural disasters
and climate impacts. Trails, infrastructure for
safe bicycling including bike lanes and cycle
tracks, and safe pedestrian-ways connect the
community while increasing options for
healthy activity. Therefore, the City shall
provide a comprehensive system of parks,
recreation facilities, trails, bicycling
infrastructure, and civic open spaces that
meet the demands of current and future
residents. (REC Figure Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, & 7)
REC Policy 1.1: The City will use the National
Recreation and Parks Association’s (NRPA)
Park Metrics tool to evaluate the City’s
performance as it relates to parks per
population, acres of parkland per 1,000
population, and the number of specific
recreational facilities per population. The
information is presented in NRPA’s Annual
Agency Performance Review.
REC Policy 1.1.a: The City will participate in
NRPA’s Park Metric Program by annually
entering and updating information about
the City’s Parks, Recreation, Trails, and
Civic Open Space System.
REC Policy 1.1.b: The City of Ocoee’s
adopted level of service (LOS) shall be 8
acres of parkland, civic open space per
1,000 residents. The City will strive to meet
NRPA’s median level of service for
parkland per 1,000 residents by 2045. This is
currently 10.2 acres per every 1,000
residents.
REC Policy 1.1.c: The City shall strive to
meet the median number of parks per
population as presented in NRPA’s Annual
Agency Performance Review. This is
currently one (1) park for every 2,062
residents for municipalities between the
population range of 20,000 and 49,999. This
number changes to one (1) park per every
2,346 residents for the projected
population of 74,000 in 2045.
REC Policy 1.2: The City shall update Ocoee’s
2001 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, to
include trails and civic open space as well as
meet contemporary recreational standards
no later than three (3) years from this
Comprehensive Plan adoption. This
document should be updated every five (5)
years.
REC Policy 1.2.a: Each Parks, Recreation,
Multi-Use Trails, and Open Space Master
Plan Update (the “Master Plan Update”)
shall include an assessment of city facilities,
as well as private parks, civic open spaces,
and recreation facilities located in
Planned Unit Developments (PUD) and
multifamily complexes. This assessment
should include the quality of experience
and overall condition of existing facilities.
REC Policy 1.2.b: Existing number of public
recreation facilities by type (baseball
fields, sport courts, community centers,
swimming pools, etc.) will be compared to
national standards for the median
population served.
REC Policy 1.2.c: Include an updated site
plan (if applicable) for every existing
site/facility. If deemed appropriate, a new
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
2 | Recreation and Open Space Element GOPs
concept plan should be prepared to show
the redevelopment of the site, including
costs and phasing to be incorporated into
the Parks and Leisure Services
Department’s capital budgeting.
REC Policy 1.2.d: Provide prototypical
designs for each park classification;
including civic space, which may consist
of pocket parks, squares, natural areas,
greenbelts, plazas, and playgrounds, as
well as neighborhood parks, community
parks, regional parks, and nature parks to
guide future park development. Specialty
parks do not need a prototypical design
since each specialty park is unique based
on a single activity or resource.
REC Policy 1.2.d(1): Perform an
assessment of recreational
programming and activities and
include recommendations regarding
the future provision and evaluation of
recreational programming and
activities.
REC Policy 1.2.d(2): Complete an
assessment and include
recommendations for ensuring there
are safe routes to parks from
surrounding neighborhoods.
REC Policy 1.2.d(3): Perform an
assessment of the Trust for Public Land’s
(TPL) “10-minute Walk for Park Equity
Policy Framework” and its applicability
within the city. (REC Figure Nos. 5 & 6)
REC Policy 1.2.d(4): Recommend
language to be incorporated into the
City’s Land Development Code
regarding the quality and level of
parks, recreation, trails, civic open
spaces, and open spaces within
private residential developments.
REC Policy 1.2.d(5): Prepare funding
strategies including but not limited to
grants, foundations, increment
revenue, impacts fees, and general
fund.
REC Policy 1.3: Based on the 2020 “Building
Community with Parks, Recreation & Trails
Community Engagement Report,” the City will
employ a similar community survey instrument
to assess and gauge community recreational
needs every five (5) years concurrently with
updating the Parks, Recreation, Trails, Civic
Open Space Master Plan. Furthermore, when
redeveloping existing parks and planning new
parks, the City should meet with residents and
the Recreation Advisory Board for their input.
Meetings could include workshops, pop-up
events, presentations to Homeowner
Associations and other involvement or
outreach activities.
REC Policy 1.4: The City shall actively pursue
the acquisition of available land for future
parks and trails in concert with the standards
and priorities established in the Ocoee Parks,
Recreation, Trails and Civic Open Space
Master Plan Update, including the adopted
level-of-service standard(s). The following
issues should be considered before acquiring
parkland and trail corridors:
• The distribution of parks and trails (REC
Figure Nos. 2, 3, 4, & 7),
• Locations near other public facilities,
where possible,
• The ability to maximize access and safety,
including opportunities to expand,
connect to, and close gaps in trail
networks, and
• Compatibility of adjacent land uses.
REC Policy 1.5: Implementing green
infrastructure is key to creating new parks,
trails, and open spaces. Parks and civic open
spaces can be incorporated into municipal
infrastructure such as stormwater ponds. Trails,
bike lanes, and cycle tracks can be
integrated into roadway projects, and pocket
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
Recreation and Open Space Element GOPs | 3
parks can be nestled within rights-of-way
and/or common areas. The Parks and Leisure
Services Director will work closely with other
departments, including Public Works and
Utilities, as well as other agencies and
organizations, to pursue the addition of parks,
recreation, trails, and civic open spaces as an
element of infrastructure projects.
REC Policy 1.6: Park and open space sites shall
not be converted to non-park uses except
where the City Commission finds such
conversion essential to protect public health,
safety, and welfare. Where there is a
reduction in area or facility capacity because
of a conversion, additional facilities necessary
to restore and exceed lost park capacity shall
be provided within one (1) year. Should a
conversion be unavoidable in a conservation
area within the parks system, the mitigation
will follow the standards set forth in the
Conservation Element and the Land
Development Code.
REC Policy 1.7: The City will offer a variety of
recreational activities in connection with
parks and civic open space sites, by providing
for (but not limited to) passive recreation,
active recreation, supervised recreational
activities, drop-in recreation, organized youth
and adult sports, and special organized
events and festivals.
REC Policy 1.8: The City shall avoid duplication
when providing services and take into
consideration the availability of other
resources before developing new facilities,
including private, county, and state parks,
and open space facilities.
REC Policy 1.9: The City cannot fiscally or
administratively supply all of the recreation,
trails, and civic open spaces to meet future
demands and, therefore, will require private
development to continue to provide and/or
fund the development and construction of
recreational amenities, trails, and civic open
spaces as prescribed by this Comprehensive
Plan and the City’s Land Development Code.
REC Policy 1.9.a: The City will continue to
require residential developments to
provide and/or maintain private
neighborhood and community
recreational facilities and civic open
spaces, which are safely accessible to
their residents.
REC Policy 1.9.b: Private development,
including commercial and mixed-use
developments, should integrate civic
open spaces. Civic open spaces are
defined as a space usually between 0 and
2.5 acres that has public access and may
contain such facilities as landscaped
areas, pocket parks, plazas, squares, areas
to sit, community gardens, small
playgrounds, green infrastructure like rain
gardens, bioswales, tree boxes, ponds,
and natural areas.
REC Policy 1.9.c: The City’s Land
Development Code requires residential
development to provide and maintain
common open space. No area shall be
accepted as common open space unless
it satisfies the following standards.
• Common open space shall be
dedicated to and be accessible to
and usable by all residents of the
residential development or specific
phase thereof.
• Common open space shall be suitably
improved so that it is an amenity for its
intended use. Such use may include
aesthetic (i.e., gardens, plazas,
squares, enhanced landscape areas,
and fountains with public access), trails
and pathways, greenbelt buffering, or
recreational facilities (i.e., swimming
pools, splashparks, field and sport
courts, playgrounds, fit-trails or exercise
equipment).
• No building should be constructed on
lands defined as common open space
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
4 | Recreation and Open Space Element GOPs
unless it is for recreational purposes or
supports maintenance or user comfort
(i.e., pavilions, restrooms, bathhouse,
gazebos).
• When practicable, stormwater ponds
should be treated as an amenity within
open space, with adjacent trails,
bridges, and water features.
• Common open space shall be
maintained by the Homeowners
Association (HOA) or Property Owners
Association (POA) for that specific
development.
REC Policy 1.9.d: Provide for the protection
of open space and conservation areas
while protecting these areas from
incompatible land use and wherever
possible allowing these areas to remain
functionally intact. The City shall use the
Land Development Code to address the
protection of conservation areas, native
vegetation, and buffers in accordance
with the provisions in the Conservation
Element.
REC Policy 1.10: The City will encourage public
participation in park and recreational
planning through the Recreation Advisory
Board and at public forums, special events,
and workshops.
REC Objective 2 - Health and Well-being: The
City shall promote active and healthy
lifestyles of all ages and abilities by offering
facilities, programs, and services through the
City’s Parks and Leisure Services Department
and/or through private enterprise or
development.
REC Policy 2.1: The City will use tools such as a
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to evaluate
localized health trends when planning
facilities, programs, activities, and special
events offered by the Parks and Leisure
Services Department. Such data can be
acquired through organizations like Healthy
West Orange, Orlando Health, Advent Health,
MetroPlan Orlando, and the Florida
Department of Health-Orange County.
REC Policy 2.2: The City will work with
appropriate agencies and organizations to
deliver effective programming and special
events that boost physical activity, promote
family-centric health and wellness, and
expose residents and visitors to nature.
REC Policy 2.3: The City will look for
opportunities to increase indoor and outdoor
intergenerational play opportunities in a
manner that stimulates childhood
development while keying into an adult’s idea
of health and wellness.
REC Policy 2.4: The City will strive to help
reduce obesity and the incidence of chronic
disease by providing opportunities to increase
rigorous physical activity in a variety of forms,
and address the needs of different age
groups, as dictated by local health trends.
REC Policy 2.5: The City will provide
opportunities for its residents to connect with
nature in a way that increases the sense of
well-being, improves mental health, and
elevates a person’s environmental awareness
and appreciation.
REC Policy 2.6: The City will aid in reducing
childhood hunger by increasing access to
nutritious food through before school, after
school, and summer programs.
REC Policy 2.7: The City will work with local
health organizations to offer nutritional and
wellness educational classes at City facilities
and special events.
REC Policy 2.8: The City will, in partnership with
residents, identify “food deserts” within the
city, where access to healthy food options,
especially fresh fruits and vegetables, is limited
or non-existent due to the absence of a
grocery store within a convenient traveling

distance. The City will evaluate and help
establish, if interest and available land exists, a
community gardens program in any food
deserts.
REC Objective 3 - Access, Accessibility &
Connectivity: Promote the diversity of
recreational participants through developing
and maintaining accessible, inclusive, and
welcoming facilities, programs, events, and
services. This includes optimizing accessibility
between trails and adjacent land uses in a
manner that stimulates trail activation and
integration while also ensuring privacy, safety,
and security between trail users and adjacent
land uses. (REC Figure No. 7)
REC Policy 3.1: The City shall strive to meet the
standard set forth by the Trust for Public Land
that every resident shall have access to a
quality park or green space within a 10-minute
walk from their home. The City shall assess the
locations of parks and green space in relation
to residences and determine whether the City
meets the standard. If not, then the City shall
strive to meet this standard no later than 2045.
To achieve this standard, the City may count
private and not-for-profit providers of parks,
civic open space, and recreational facilities.
(REC Figure Nos. 5 & 6)
REC Policy 3.2: Handicap parking facilities and
bicycle racks shall be provided at all parks,

UTL GOAL: THE CITY SHALL PLAN FOR AND
PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY POTABLE WATER,
WASTEWATER, AND RECLAIMED WATER SERVICE
WHILE PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND
ENSURING PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
UTL Objective 1 - Expansion of Utility Services:
The City shall expand public utilities systems
by requiring connection to potable water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water for new
development.
UTL Policy 1.1: All new development and
redevelopment within the City’s Potable
Water Service Area, as shown in UTL Figure No.
1, Wastewater Service Area, as shown in UTL
Figure No. 2, and Reclaimed Water Service
Area, as shown in UTL Figure No. 5, shall
connect to central potable water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water systems.
On a very limited basis, water and wastewater
service of individual single-family lots by
private wells and septic tanks shall be
considered in accordance with Florida
Statutes, the requirements of the Land
Development Code, and UTL Policy 7.3.
UTL Policy 1.2: Upsizing and extension of
potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed
water infrastructure to accommodate new
development shall be at the developer’s
expense. Utilities extensions and upsizing shall
be in accordance with the utilities master
plan.
UTL Policy 1.3: The hydraulic modeling analysis
shall be the basis of the utilities master plan to
prioritize and coordinate the expansion and
upgrade of facilities to meet existing and
future needs.
UTL Policy 1.4: The extension of potable water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water mains shall
be consistent with land use allocations
delineated on the Future Land Use Map.
UTL Objective 2 - Establishment of User Fees:
The City shall establish user fees to cover the
full costs of operating and maintaining the
potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed
water systems.
UTL Policy 2.1: Water and wastewater
connection fees shall cover the cost of the
needed water, wastewater, and reclaimed
water system expansions. User fees shall cover
the full cost of operating and maintaining the
water, wastewater, and reclaimed water
systems, including debt service.
UTL Policy 2.2: The City shall maintain an
inclined block potable water rate structure,
where the price per unit increases as
consumption rises, to promote water
conservation, cover all costs to maintain the
potable water system, and meet the
established potable water level of service
established in UTL Policy 3.1.
UTL Policy 2.3: The City shall maintain a
wastewater rate structure to cover all costs to
maintain the wastewater system and meet
the established wastewater level of service
established in UTL Policy 6.1.
UTL Policy 2.4: The City shall maintain an
inclined block reclaimed water rate structure,
where the price per unit increases as
consumption rises, to promote water
conservation and cover all costs to maintain
the reclaimed water system.
UTL Policy 2.5: The City shall comply with all
bond covenants to ensure the maintenance
and operation of facilities and required
connections to public utilities obligations.
UTL Objective 3 - Provision of Potable Water
Service: The City shall maintain potable water
level of service and ensure that adequate
capacity is available to support demands
generated by existing and future
development.
UTL Policy 3.1: The City’s adopted level of
service standard for potable water shall be
UTILITIES SUB-ELEMENT
2 | Utilities Sub-Element GOPs
270 gallons per day/equivalent residential unit
(ERU).
UTL Policy 3.2: The City shall provide potable
water service in compliance with or
exceeding the minimum Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and Florida
Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) water quality standards.
UTL Policy 3.3: The City shall comply with St.
Johns River Water Management District
(SJRWMD) Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) No.
3216.
UTL Policy 3.4: The City shall maximize use of
existing potable water facilities by
implementing management techniques that
can enhance the supply source, sustain water
resources and related natural systems, and
optimize water supply yield. These techniques
may include, but are not limited to well field
optimization, providing reclaimed water for
landscape irrigation, demand side
management, and water conservation.
UTL Policy 3.5: The City shall maintain a ten-
year Water Facilities Capital Improvements
Program to correct existing deficiencies and
replace existing infrastructure as required. A
Capital Improvements Program consistent
with hydraulic modeling studies, the Master
Plan, and Work Plan, shall be prepared
annually in order to provide improvements
and expansion to the existing water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water systems to
meet existing and future demands.
UTL Policy 3.6: The City shall annually assess the
potable water treatment and storage
capacity based on future anticipated growth
demands for the current fiscal year and at
least the next ten fiscal years. Should the
analysis indicate that future demands will
exceed the design capacity of the potable
water system, the City shall plan and schedule
improvements to expand the system’s
capacity.
UTL Policy 3.7: All improvements and additions
to potable water facilities to correct
deficiencies and meet future water demands
shall be compatible and adequate to meet
the adopted level of service standards. These
improvements shall comply, at a minimum,
with standards recognized and approved by
FDEP and SJRWMD.
UTL Policy 3.8: The City shall continue to
maintain and update its Cross-Connection
Control Manual and Program as necessary to
comply with federal, state, and local

Drainage Sub-Element GOPs | 1
DRN GOAL: THE CITY SHALL PROTECT THE WATER
QUALITY OF WATER BODIES, WATERWAYS, AND
THE AQUIFER, INCREASE FLOOD RESILIENCY,
PROMOTE AQUIFER RECHARGE, AND MANAGE
STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE
CITY’S JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS TO ENSURE
PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.
DRN Objective 1 - Stormwater Management:
The City will update its Stormwater
Management Master Plan. The Stormwater
Management Master Plan shall include
recommendations by governmental
agencies, including the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), St. John’s River
Water Management District (SJRWMD), and
basin specific Watershed Master Plans. The
City shall develop an updated stormwater
asset database including all natural and
artificial drainage systems within the City. The
Stormwater Management Master Plan shall be
used to identify stormwater facility
deficiencies, opportunities for improvement
projects, and stormwater facility maintenance
prioritization sufficient to accommodate
projected demand through the year 2045.
DRN Policy 1.1: By 2035, the City shall create a
stormwater geographic information system
(GIS) database mapping all drainage
infrastructure and facilities within the City. The
stormwater GIS database shall contain
information on all inlets, manholes, pipes,
swales, ditches, ponds, lakes, drainwells, and
any other feature or facility that captures or
conveys stormwater within the corporate City
limits. Deficiencies identified as part of the
stormwater database creation shall be
added to the Stormwater Management
Master Plan.
DRN Policy 1.2: The City drains ito seventeen
(17) sub-basins as depicted in DRN Figure No.
1. The City shall update the existing seventeen
drainage basin studies and develop new
basin specific Watershed Master Plans for all
basins within the City by 2045. The updated
Watershed Master Plans shall identify
deficiencies with the basins and provide
recommendations for improvements. Once a
Watershed Master Plan is completed for a
basin, the plan will be reviewed by the City
every five years. The deficiencies identified in
the existing drainage basin studies and their
recommended improvements shall be
reviewed and updated within the new basin
specific Watershed Master Plans.
DRN Policy 1.3: Deficiencies identified in the
Stormwater Management Master Plan shall
be corrected on a priority basis. Stormwater
improvements shall prioritize the following
considerations in their design: Water Quality,
Flood Resiliency, and Aquifer Recharge &
Protection.
DRN Policy 1.4: The City shall provide
adequate stormwater management services
to maintain the adopted level of service
standards factoring in the following
considerations:
• The protection and maintenance of the
lives and safety of City residents;
• The protection and maintenance of the
property within the City;
• The protection of existing public
investment;
• The protection and due consideration of
water quality;
• The reduction of operating and
maintenance costs; and
• The achievement and satisfaction of
Regional, State and Federal regulations.
DRN Policy 1.5: Major improvements and
projects identified within Stormwater
Management Master Plan shall be added to
the City’s Capital Improvement Program (the
“CIP”). The CIP shall be revised annually to
update any changes to the program and to
report any changes as part of the National
DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT

Stormwater Utility Fee.
DRN Policy 1.7: The City shall establish a
program for the acquisition of drainage rights-
of-way as recommended by the existing
drainage basin studies. The City shall pursue
this to comply with the mandates of legal
access to drainage and stormwater
management facilities by the City’s
maintenance staff. This is an important
consideration because the level of service
maintenance and protection is directly
attributed to the performance and
functionality of the City’s drainage and
stormwater management system. The
execution and schedule of some
maintenance projects identified in the
Regional Master Stormwater Management
Plan and the Capital Improvement Plan
Element may depend on the acquisition of
certain drainage easements and rights-of-
way.
DRN Policy 1.8: The City shall properly manage
systems to ensure that they are correctly
designed, constructed; and maintained by
doing the following:
• Provide annual inspections of installed
stormwater systems;
• Provide inspection and evaluation of new
stormwater systems; and
• Proactively conduct inspections of illicit
discharge in the City’s storm sewer system.
DRN Policy 1.9: The stormwater drainage
regulations contained in the City’s Land
Development Code shall provide for
protection of natural drainage features and
ensure that future development utilizes
stormwater management systems
compatible with the current and updated
Stormwater Management Master Plan.
DRN Objective 2 - Water Quality: The City shall
protect the water quality of surface waters,
waterways, aquifer recharge areas, and
spring sheds through implementation of the
Land Development Code, Engineering

practices.
DRN Policy 2.1: The City shall continue to
monitor water levels and water quality for City
lakes and surface waters associated with
natural drainage features.
DRN Policy 2.2: The City shall employ aquatic
plant management practices that reduce the
emergence of non-native, undesirable
aquatic plants and improve conditions for
safe recreational boating and fishing
activities. The City shall continue to implement
management plans that include physical,
biological and chemical controls for its
aquatic plant management program to
protect water quality while also controlling
undesirable and non-native aquatic plants.
DRN Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to
retrofit stormwater infrastructure that
discharges directly to surface waters. The City
shall utilize baffle boxes with nutrient reducing
media or other advanced nutrient reducing
Best Management Practices to enhance
water quality.
DRN Policy 2.4: The City shall review
commercial site plan and subdivision
regulations on an annual basis to ensure that
regulations are adequate to protect surface
water quality. The City shall require all new

DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT
Drainage Sub-Element GOPs | 3
DRN Policy 2.5: The City shall require all new
development or redevelopment to comply
with the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (“NPDES”) stormwater
permitting program. In accordance with Rule
62-621.300(4), F.A.C., developments must
submit a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) at least two
(2) days prior to beginning construction
activities. In addition, a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (“SWPPP”) shall be required to
be submitted and approved by the City
before construction activities may
commence. Upon completion of
construction, a Notice of Termination (“NOT”)
shall be submitted to transfer NPDES permit
coverage to the City’s MS4 permit.
DRN Policy 2.6: New development shall, at a
minimum, maintain surface and groundwater
flow rates and volumes at pre-development
levels, or enhance recharge so that the
natural function of groundwater recharge
areas is maintained, or improved. New
development projects or expansion of existing
development within the Wekiva Study Area
shall be required to follow Best Management
Practices for stormwater design and
treatment and shall consider the soil types in
DRN Figure No. 3.
DRN Policy 2.7: Projects that result in an
increase in impervious surface area shall be
considered substantial and comply with all
stormwater requirements for new
development.
DRN Policy 2.8: The City will prioritize and
encourage the incorporation of green
stormwater management infrastructure,
including bioswales, rain gardens, and
permeable pavements, into all new
construction and redevelopment efforts—
both public and private—to enhance the
quality of stormwater runoff wherever feasible.
DRN Policy 2.9: City shall encourage efforts to
incorporate nature or natural features into the
design of stormwater systems. All efforts shall
be made to include elements of Florida-
friendly flora and fauna to filter stormwater
and public recreation and civic spaces within
stormwater design.
DRN Policy 2.10: Vegetated infiltration
(bioswale) areas shall be used to provide
stormwater treatment and management on
all sites except when soil, topography, or
seasonal high-water conditions are
inappropriate for infiltration as determined by
a professional engineer licensed in the State
of Florida. Design of the stormwater systems
for non-urban development shall use
bioretention areas (below grade vegetated
areas) to increase stormwater treatment and
reduce stormwater volume. Downspouts for
non-urban development shall be directed
from the roof to vegetated swales, where
possible, or directed to the stormwater
management system for treatment.
DRN Policy 2.11: Sensitive karst features,
including sinkholes, with a direct connection
to the aquifer and stream-to-sink features,
shall not be utilized as stormwater
management facilities. Karst features with a
direct connection to the aquifer will be
identified and placed in a conservation
easement. Prior to development approval, all
depressions will be investigated by a licensed
professional geotechnical engineer to identify
any potential connections to the aquifer. If
connections are determined to exist, the area
draining to the karst feature under pre-
development conditions shall be preserved
through a conservation easement.
DRN Policy 2.12: All components of the
stormwater treatment and management
system shall be owned and maintained by the
responsible legal entity identified in the
SJRWMD or DEP stormwater permit, typically a
homeowners or property owners association.
DRN Policy 2.13: Development shall use joint or
shared access to the maximum extent
DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT
4 | Drainage Sub-Element GOPs
feasible in order to minimize impervious
surfaces.
DRN Policy 2.14: Multifamily residential and
non-residential development shall use shared
parking to the maximum extent possible to
minimize impervious surfaces. The City shall
research and consider shared parking
formulas between disparate uses for inclusion
in the Land Development Code and allow
development applicants to submit parking
studies that would support a reduction in
paved parking. Overflow parking may be
allowed on grass or gravel areas, as
delineated on a site plan. All parking lots with
100 or more spaces shall be evaluated for
utilizing up to twenty (20) percent of the
parking spaces in pervious areas.
DRN Policy 2.15: Design of parking lots,
sidewalks, buildings and other impervious
surfaces shall minimize connections between
impervious surfaces through techniques
shown on a site plan such as:
• Directing flows from roof drains to
vegetated areas or to rain barrels or
cisterns for reuse of water;
• Directing flows from paved areas to
vegetated areas;
• Locating impervious surfaces so that they
drain to vegetated buffers or natural
areas; and,
• Breaking up flow directions from large
paved surfaces.
DRN Policy 2.16: Pervious pavement materials
and techniques should be used to minimize
the amount of impervious surface within new
development and redevelopment.
DRN Policy 2.17: Commercial and industrial
development shall be designed to minimize
site disturbance by limiting clearing to the
minimum area necessary to accomplish
development by adhering the following
requirements:
• Avoid or minimize the removal of existing
trees and vegetation;
• Minimize soil compaction by delineating
the smallest disturbance areas feasible;
and
• Maximize disconnection of impervious
surfaces to reduce stormwater runoff flows
and increase opportunities for infiltration.
DRN Policy 2.18: In addition to requiring
minimum level of service standards
established as herein, the City shall ensure that
post-development recharge volume
conditions approximate predevelopment
recharge volume conditions within the Wekiva
Study Area protection zone, as indicated on
the CON Figure 2: Drainage and Aquifer
Recharge Drainage and Aquifer Recharge.
This shall be accomplished in the Land
Development Code by requiring that the first
three (3) inches of stormwater be retained on
site within Type A soil areas in the Wekiva
Protection Zone for basins that have a positive
outfall. A development applicant may
conduct a hydrological survey and site
analysis to demonstrate that post-
development recharge will be equal to or
greater than pre-development recharge.
DRN Objective 3 - Flood Resiliency: The City
shall increase its flood resiliency through the
prevention and elimination of flooding effects
from stormwater runoff and inadequate
stormwater facilities and ensure that

PSF GOAL: THE CITY SHALL CONTINUE TO
COORDINATE WITH ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS TO
FACILITATE THE QUALITY AND FUTURE
AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES
AND ENSURE SUPERIOR EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE CURRENT AND FUTURE
RESIDENTS, WHICH IN TURN ENCOURAGES
ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR INDIVIDUALS,
FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES IN OCOEE AND
ORANGE COUNTY.
PSF Objective 1 - Conformance with School
Concurrency and Interlocal Agreement: The
City will continue to coordinate with Orange
County Public Schools (OCPS) to implement
school concurrency through the approved
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for public school
facility planning, to share information
necessary to maintain the adopted Level of
Service standard for public schools and to
ensure adequate classroom capacity to
accommodate the impacts of new residential
development throughout the planning
process in order to reduce, prevent, or
eliminate over-crowded classrooms and
school facilities.
PSF Policy 1.1 The City shall coordinate with
Orange County Public Schools to implement
a Concurrency Management System, which
shall include standards and procedures to
ensure that new residential development
complies with the Level of Service (LOS)
Standards provided in the interlocal
agreement between OCPS and the City.
The LOS by school type shall be as follows:
• Elementary and K - 8 School LOS - 110% of
Adjusted FISH (Florida Inventory of School
Houses) Capacity
• Middle School and High School LOS – 100%
of Adjusted FISH Capacity
PSF Policy 1.2: OCPS, in conjunction with the
City, shall adopt and annually update
school Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs),
which will be used to evaluate the capacity
of schools available to accommodate
students generated by a proposed
development. The adopted LOS must be
achieved in all CSAs, except where
improvements needed to achieve
adequate classroom capacity are
specifically identified in the OCPS ten (10)
year District Capital Outlay Plan (DCOP).
CSA boundary adjustments may be made
to ensure that the utilization of school
capacity is maximized to the greatest extent
possible and shall take into account
transportation costs, court approved
desegregation plans, and other factors.
PSF Policy 1.3: The City and OCPS shall
develop and maintain throughout the
planning period a joint process for the
implementation of School Concurrency
as provided for in the adopted interlocal
agreement.
PSF Policy 1.3.a: When reviewing a
developer-initiated Comprehensive
Plan amendment or rezoning that would
increase residential density on property,
the City shall seek input from OCPS as to
whether sufficient school capacity will
exist concurrently with the development.
If OCPS indicates there is insufficient
capacity in the affected schools, the
City may take into consideration the
severity of the overcrowding and timing
of the availability of the needed
capacity to accommodate the
proposed development when deciding
whether to approve or deny the
requested Comprehensive Plan
amendment or rezoning.
PSF Policy 1.3.b: The City will determine if
a development is vested or exempt from
school concurrency. Unless the
development is determined to be
vested or exempt from concurrency, the
City shall not approve a residential site
plan, plat, or its functional equivalent,
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FACILITIES ELEMENT
2 | Public Schools Facilities Element GOPs
until a concurrency determination has
been conducted by OCPS and a
Concurrency Certificate has been
issued for the development consistent
with the provisions of the adopted
interlocal agreement.
PSF Policy 1.3.c: School concurrency
shall not apply to property within a
development of regional impact (DRI)
for which a Development Order was
issued prior to July 1, 2005, or for which a
DRI application was submitted prior to
May 1, 2005, unless the developer elects
otherwise or unless the developer files a
Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC)
and/or Substantial Deviation to increase
the total number of residential dwelling
units.
PSF Policy 1.3.d: Any residential
development that creates an impact of
less than one (1) student shall be
considered de minimis and therefore
exempt from school capacity review.
For the purposes of school concurrency,
a single-family dwelling unit shall be
defined as one dwelling unit designed
for occupancy by one family and not
attached to any surrounding dwelling
unit. A multi-family dwelling unit shall be
defined as a building containing more
than one dwelling unit, a dwelling unit
attached to one or more other dwelling
units, or a mobile home.
PSF Policy 1.4: Where adequate school
facilities will be in place or under actual
construction within three (3) years after the
issuance of final subdivision or site plan
approval, or the functional equivalent, the
City shall not deny an application for site
plan approval, final subdivision approval, or
the functional equivalent thereof, for any
development, or phase of a development,
that includes residential uses, based solely
on failure to achieve and maintain the
adopted LOS in a CSA.
PSF Objective 2 - Alternative Mitigation:
Where the adopted school level of service
cannot be met, the City shall allow for
mitigation alternatives, developed in
conjunction with OCPS, that are financially
feasible and will serve to maintain the
adopted level of service standard consistent
with the OCPS Work Program. Should
adopted LOS not be achieved and an
alternative mitigation option is not available,
the City may postpone a proposed
development until such time that LOS can be
achieved or school capacity is created.
PSF Policy 2.1: Upon completion of an OCPS
Concurrency Review, a development that
fails to meet LOS requirements may be
postponed until adequate public school
capacity is created.
PSF Policy 2.1.a: A development shall be
deemed to meet concurrency if there is
sufficient capacity in the Concurrency
Service Area (“CSA”) where the
development is located or where
sufficient capacity exists in one or more
contiguous CSAs, so long as the LOS in the
adjacent zone does not exceed 95% of
the adopted LOS, and when the LOS for
the specific school type, when
considered district-wide, does not
exceed 100% of capacity on a district-
wide basis for the school type, and
approval of the development does not
result in a violation of a court ordered
desegregation order.
PSF Policy 2.1.b: Proportionate share,
when used for mitigation, shall be
calculated based on the number of
elementary, middle and high school
students generated by the development
at build out. As provided for in the
adopted interlocal agreement,
proportionate share shall be calculated
based on reasonable methods of
estimating cost of school construction,
including the cost of land, equipment,
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FACILITIES ELEMENT
Public Schools Facilities Element GOPs | 3
school buses, and where appropriate,
temporary classroom space needed to
house students generated by the
development while permanent space is
being constructed. A Proportionate Share
contribution toward the construction of
schools must be identified in the adopted
ten (10) year District Capital Outlay Plan
(the “DCOP”).
PSF Policy 2.1.c: Proportionate Share
Mitigation may include payments of
money, construction of schools,
donations of land, expansion of
permanent capacity of existing school
campuses, payment of funds necessary
to advance schools contained in the ten
(10) year DCOP, establishment of charter
schools that meet State Requirements for
Educational Facilities (SREF) standards,
payments into mitigation banks,
establishment of an Educational Facilities
Benefit District, Community Development
District, or other methods as may be
negotiated between the developer and
OCPS and, as appropriate, the City.
PSF Policy 2.1.d: Any of the Proportionate
Share options that are utilized by
developers as mitigation are eligible for
school impact fee credits as provided for
in Florida law.
PSF Policy 2.2: Prior to June 1st of each year,
OCPS shall coordinate with the City to
develop a financially feasible Ten (10) Year
District Capital Outlay Plan (DCOP) for
review and approval by the OCPS Board
and adoption into the Capital
Improvements Element for the City.
PSF Policy 2.2.a: The 10-Year DCOP shall
include all capital projects which
increase the capacity of public schools
within the City and address the
deficiencies necessary to maintain or
improve LOS and shall be reviewed
annually, by OCPS in conjunction with the
City, to determine the projected
capacity, projected enrollment, and LOS
for each school and CSA within the City.
PSF Policy 2.2.b: The City shall review and
incorporate the OCPS adopted CSAs,
adopted LOS and enrollment projections
into the annual update of the City’s CIE
to ensure that the CIE continues to be
financially feasible and that the LOS will
be achieved.
PSF Policy 2.2.c: In accordance with
F.S. 163.3180(6), F.S., the City adopts a
long-term school concurrency
management system for areas where
significant backlog exists.
PSF Objective 3 - School Facilities Planning: To
maintain a high-quality educational system
for current and future residents, the City will
coordinate with OCPS, in accordance with the
Interlocal Agreement, to identify existing
deficiencies and future needs, evaluate the
School Board’s Ten-Year District Capital
Outlay Plan (DCOP), and develop plans,
programs and strategies to ensure adopted
LOS standards for schools are maintained.
PSF Policy 3.1: Pursuant to the adopted
Interlocal Agreement, a Technical Planning
Committee comprised of representatives
from the City, other Orange County
Municipalities, OCPS, and the East Central
Florida Regional Planning Council shall be
established to discuss issues of mutual
concern. OCPS shall be responsible for
making meeting arrangements, providing
notification and maintaining a written
summary of meeting actions.
PSF Policy 3.2: The OCPS Technical Planning
Committee shall meet quarterly, or as
needed, to discuss issues and formulate
recommendations regarding coordination of
land use and school facilities. Specific areas
addressed by the committee shall include:
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FACILITIES ELEMENT
4 | Public Schools Facilities Element GOPs
• Short and long-range planning,
population and student projections, and
future development trends,
• Co-location and joint-use opportunities,
and ancillary infrastructure improvements
needed to support the school facilities
and ensure safe student access to
schools, including embedding schools in
residential neighborhoods so that
children may safely walk and ride
bicycles to and from school, which
reduces motorist traffic,
• Planning for needed supporting
infrastructure for schools such as utilities,
roads, sidewalks, and other supporting
infrastructure,
• The need for new schools to meet the
adopted LOS within the adopted CSAs
and the coordination of annual revisions
to the five (5) year and ten (10) year
District Capital Outlay Plan, and
• Update of the City Capital Improvements
Element for inclusion in the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
PSF Policy 3.3: The City shall provide an
update of approved developments,
phases of development and estimated
build out by phase to the OCPS Planning
Department twice per year.
PSF Policy 3.4: The City shall review OCPS
generated future enrollment and growth
projections on an annual basis and
provide input to the OCPS Planning
Department.
PSF Policy 3.5: Throughout the planning
period, the City and OCPS shall coordinate
the siting of new public schools to ensure
public school facilities are located to

CIE GOAL: THE CITY SHALL TAKE ACTIONS
NECESSARY TO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE AND
MANAGE NEEDED PUBLIC FACIITIES, SERVICES,
AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONCURRENT WITH THE
IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SOUND
FISCAL POLICIES AND MINDFUL DECISION-
MAKING WHICH PROTECT INVESTMENTS AND
MAXIMIZE THE USE OF EXISTING FACILITIES,
WHILE PROMOTING ORDERLY, COMPACT
GROWTH SO AS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
EXISTING AND FUTURE RESIDENTS AND
BUSINESSES AND TO IMPLEMENT THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
CIE Objective 1 – Program of Capital
Improvements: Based on identification of
facility needs and level of service standards
contained in other elements of this Plan, the
City shall develop and annually review and
revise a program of capital improvements
designed to correct existing deficiencies,
replace worn out or obsolete facilities, and
accommodate desired future growth.
CIE Policy 1.1: The City shall adopt a Five-Year
Capital Improvements Plan (5-Year CIP) which
shall include necessary projects, publicly
funded projects, and privately funded
projects for which the City has no fiscal
responsibility, to ensure that the adopted level
of service standards are achieved and
maintained for the 5-year planning period,
including projects in the corresponding five (5)
years of the City’s Water Supply Facilities Work
Plan for improving or increasing potable water
facility capacities. (CIE Figure No. 1)
CIE Policy 1.2: The 5-Year CIP must be
coordinated with the MetroPlan Orlando Long
Range Transportation Plan and must include:
• Applicable transportation improvements
included in MetroPlan Orlando’s
Transportation Improvement Plan to the
extent that such improvements are relied
upon to ensure concurrency and financial
feasibility,
• A list of projects necessary to achieve the
pollutant load reductions attributable to
the City, as established in a basin
management action plan pursuant to
Section 403.067(7), F.S., if applicable,
• Estimated public facility costs,
• The expected delineation of when
facilities will be needed,

corresponding Capital Improvements Element
text amendment shall be adopted and
transmitted to the State Land Planning Agency
annually following adoption of the City Budget.
CIE Policy 1.4: Proposed capital improvement
projects shall be evaluated and ranked for
adequate contribution to the maintenance of
established Levels of Service according to the
following priority level guidelines:
a. Identified Need — Whether the project
is needed to:
• Protect public health and safety or
eliminate an imminent threat to
public health and safety,
• Fulfill the City’s legal commitment to
provide facilities and services,
• Eliminate an identified or projected
deficiency,
• Replace worn-out or obsolete
facilities, and/or
• Preserve or achieve maximum use
of existing facilities.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT

b. Project Intent — Whether project
implementation will accomplish the
following:
• Increase efficiency of existing
facilities,
• Prevent or reduce future
improvement costs or expenditures,
or
• Provide service to developed areas
lacking full service.
c. Consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan — Whether project
implementation:
• Represents a logical extension of
facilities and services in a manner
consistent with the management of
growth and development within
the Comprehensive Plan,
• Maintains environmental quality of
the City’s natural resources, as
promoted within the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, and/or
• Achieves consistency with Section
163.3177(3)(a), Florida Statutes.
d. Financial Feasibility — Whether project
implementation creates excessive
debt obligations which exceed the
City’s debt capacity
CIE POLICY 1.5: In the event deficiencies
should develop in the provision of public
facilities, the City shall grant existing
deficiencies priority among capital
improvements scheduled within the Capital
Improvement Program.
CIE Policy 1.6: Levels of service standards for
public facilities and services shall be
established as follows:
• Park and Recreation Facilities: 8 acres of
parkland, including civic space, and
urban open space per 1,000 residents.
The City shall strive to meet NRPA’s current
10.2 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents
by 2045. This is currently 10.2 acres per
every 1,000 residents.
• Mobility Facilities: Roadway Facility Level
of Service Standard (Arterial, Collector,
Local) – Context Classification E Bicycle
Facility Level of Stress Standard – Level 2
Pedestrian Facility Level of Stress Standard
– Level 2
• Sanitary Sewer: 250 gallons per day per
equivalent residential unit (ERU).
• Potable Water: 270 gallons per day per
equivalent residential unit (ERU).
• Solid Waste: 6.0 pounds per capita per
day.

storm event (with recovery within 14
days), without exemptions.
CIE Policy 1.7: The City adopts by reference
the Orange County Public School Board’s
Five-Year District Facilities Work Program, as
approved and amended annually by the
School Board, that includes capacity
sufficient to meet anticipated student
demands.
CIE Policy 1.8: Pursuant to Section
163.3177(3)(b), F.S., amendments to the Five-
Year Schedule of Capital Improvements may
be accomplished by ordinance and may not
be deemed to be amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. The adopted Five-Year
Schedule of Capital Improvements shall
include capacity projects necessary to
maintain the adopted levels of service
standards for parks and recreation,
stormwater, transportation and water and
sewer utilities.
CIE Policy 1.9: The City shall provide public
facilities to development for which
development orders were issued prior to the
adoption of this comprehensive plan when
the planning for the provision of public
facilities for such development were
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Capital Improvements Element GOPs | 3
evaluated and established at the time of
development approval.
CIE Objective 2 - Proportionate Cost of
Development: Future development shall bear
a proportionate share of the cost of facility
improvements necessitated by the
development to maintain adopted level of
service standards. For capital improvements
that will be funded by the developer, financial
feasibility shall be demonstrated and
guaranteed in an enforceable development
agreement, interlocal agreement, or other
enforceable agreement.
CIE Policy 2.1: The City shall continue to
implement its impact fee ordinance and
amend such ordinance as allowable by State
law as a funding mechanism towards the
provision of capacity improvements.
CIE Policy 2.2: The City will negotiate with
private developers for the provision of capital
facilities to serve proposed development. The
City will develop a Proportionate Fair-Share
Program to provide a methodology by which
impacts of development on transportation
facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative
efforts of public and private sectors and a
methodology by which proportionate fair-
share mitigation costs and options can be
assessed.
CIE Policy 2.3: In coordination with Orange
County Public Schools, school facility
concurrency shall be evaluated as new
residential applications are received by the
City, and mitigation options shall be identified
and addressed when such applications cause
the applicable elementary, middle and high
schools to which the development is assigned
or distributed by the School Board to exceed
adopted level of service standards.
CIE Objective 3 - Fiscal Responsibility: The City
shall coordinate land use decisions with its
financial capability to meet level of service
standards, manage the land development
process so that facility needs created by
permitted development do not exceed the
financial ability of the City, and identify the
extent to which future development will be
required to contribute its proportional cost of
facilities necessary to meet LOS standards.
CIE Policy 3.1: The City shall maintain a
Concurrency Management System (CMS) as
a monitoring mechanism to ensure that
transportation, potable water, wastewater,
reclaimed water, solid waste, and
recreational facilities meet their established
levels of service identified in each Element
and listed this Element. The City shall issue no
development orders or permits without first
determining whether adequate facilities to
serve the development will be available no
later than the anticipated date of issuance by
the City of a certificate of occupancy or its
functional equivalent. The City will also ensure
that adequate services and facilities are
available and in place before issuing a
certificate of occupancy or its functional
equivalent.
CIE Policy 3.1.a: The City shall evaluate the
following facilities for infrastructure
capacity: roadways, potable water
facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, schools,
drainage facilities, solid waste facilities,
and parks and urban open space.
CIE Policy 3.1.b: A proposed map shall be
prepared by July each year showing all
areas in the City in which the infrastructure
is inadequate to meet the adopted level
of service standards.
CIE Policy 3.1.c: The map shall be reviewed
annually (in conjunction with the annual
update of the CIP) to determine if
additional areas shall be added or to
determine if areas on the map shall be
deleted because they are no longer
deficient with respect to level of service
standards.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
4 | Capital Improvements Element GOPs
CIE Policy 3.1.d: In addition to annual
review, the City shall maintain an ongoing
summary of capacity and demand
changes within the area served by each
facility and shall review the map when it
appears that a facility has reached 90
percent of capacity; and shall thereafter
undertake periodic reviews on a quarterly
basis rather than annually.
CIE Policy 3.1.e: The map may be reviewed
more frequently upon a finding by the
Board of City Commissioners that there is
reason to suspect that areas shown as
having adequate levels of service do not
and/or that areas shown as having
inadequate levels of service in fact are not
deficient.
CIE Policy 3.1.f: The map shall be adopted
prior to October 1 each year, and shall be
effective for the subsequent fiscal year or
until amended.
CIE Policy 3.1.g: The map shall be based on
an evaluation of the total capacity of
each relevant facility component and the
total actual demand placed on that
facility (total capacity of the facility shall
include existing capacity as well as
additional capacity from planned
projects) subject to the limitations of
applicable state regulations; total
demand shall include actual current use
as well as the potential use of properties
which have not been developed but
which are considered as "vested" under
the terms of the plan adoption ordinance.
CIE Policy 3.1.h: The following standards
shall apply to the use of the infrastructure
deficiency map when reviewing
development applications:
• All applications for change in land use,
zoning, preliminary subdivision
approval, and preliminary approval of
any development shall be reviewed to
determine if the facilities serving the
area in which the development is
located would meet the level of
service standards herein. The results of
this review shall be presented to the
applicant and, when applicable, to
the Planning Commission and to the
City Commission at the time of their
consideration of the application for
preliminary approval or rezoning.
When review by the Planning
Commission and/or City Commission is
not required, the results of the
concurrency review shall be presented
to the applicant and to the
reviewing/approving authority at the
time of review. The purpose of the
concurrency review and report at the
preliminary review stage shall be to
explicitly place the applicant and
(when applicable) the reviewing/
approving authority on notice (1) as to
the status of the proposed
development vis-a-vis concurrency,
and (2) as the restriction against final
approval where the concurrency
requirement is not met.
• All applications for final approval
(including any applications for final
subdivision approval, final site plan
approval which involves approval of
density and intensity, any change of
zoning where a specific enforceable
plan of development is included,
and/or a final development order for a
development of regional impact) shall
be reviewed to determine if the
facilities serving the area in which the
development is located meet the level
of service standards herein. No such
application may be approved unless
the infrastructure is found to be
adequate.
• Where no change of zoning,
subdivision approval, site plan
approval, or other approval is required,
the concurrency determination shall
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Capital Improvements Element GOPs | 5
be made at the time of building permit
review. No building permit shall be
issued unless the facilities serving the
area in which the development is
located meet the level of service
standards herein.
CIE Policy 3.1.i: In the event that the
property in question is within an area in
which the infrastructure is inadequate to
meet the established level of service
standards, approval may be issued
conditioned on the provision of adequate
infrastructure prior to any occupancy of the
development (such conditional approval
shall identify the specific facilities which are
deficient and the specific actions which
must be taken before the development
may be occupied).
CIE Policy 3.2: The City shall continue
programming and funding for necessary
maintenance of facilities and for replacement
and/or renewal of capital facilities to ensure
that level of service standards do not
deteriorate or that operating costs do not
increase due to deterioration.
CIE Policy 3.3: The City shall limit the maximum
ratio of total debt service and outstanding
capital indebtedness to total revenue and
property tax base. The City will manage its
outstanding debt by limiting outstanding
capital debt to a 1:10 ratio of total annual
debt service to total annual City revenues.
CIE Policy 3.4: Grants and private funding shall
be secured, whenever available, to assist in
the provision of capital improvements,
including grants to assist in emergency
preparedness and emergency
response/recovery and hazard mitigation
efforts.

PPR GOAL: THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE FOR THE
EQUITABLE CONSIDERATION OF PRIVATE
PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR OWNERS OF PROPERTY
LOCATED WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL LIMITS OF THE
CITY OF OCOEE IN THE CITY’S LOCAL
DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IN A MANNER
WHICH ENSURES THE PROMOTION, PROTECTION
AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH,
SAFETY, GENERAL WELFARE AND AESTHETICS OF
THE CITY.
PPR Objective 1 - Responsibility to Protect
Private Property Rights: In accordance with
the legislative intent expressed in Section
163.3161(10), Florida Statutes, that all
governmental entities in the State of Florida
recognize and respect judicially
acknowledged and constitutionally protected
private property rights and the City’s
obligation to protect the general health and
welfare of the residents of the City of Ocoee,
the City shall consider the rights of property
owners in its local decision-making process.
PPR Policy 1.1: The City shall consider the right
of a property owner to physically possess and
control his or her interests in the property,
including easements, leases, or mineral rights.
PPR Policy 1.2: The City shall consider the right
of a property owner to use, maintain,
develop, and improve his or her property for
personal use or for the use of any other person,
subject to state law and local ordinances.
PPR Policy 1.3: The City shall consider the right
of a property owner to privacy and to exclude
others from the property to protect the
owner’s possessions and property.
PPR Policy 1.4: The City shall consider the right
of a property owner to dispose of his or her
property through sale or gift.
PPR Policy 1.5: The City shall update the intent
language of the Private Property Regulations
Code in Section 6-14.C within Article VI of the
Land development Code to include
language which recognizes and considers
private property rights in accordance with the
City’s goal and objective to ensure that
regulations do not create an inordinate
burden on property owners and to ensure that
property owners are free from actions by
others which would harm their property or
which would constitute an inordinate burden
on property rights as those terms are defined
in Section 70.001(3)(e) and (f), Florida Statutes.
PPR Policy 1.6: The City shall amend Article II of
its Land Development Code to add the
following definition of terms and renumber the
Article as appropriate.
PPR Policy 1.6.a: Inordinate Burden and
Inordinately Burdened (s. 70.001(3)(e), F.S.)
shall mean an action of one or more
governmental entities has directly
restricted or limited the use of real property
such that the property owner is
permanently unable to attain the
reasonable, investment-backed
expectation for the existing use of the real
property or a vested right to a specific use
of the real property with respect to the real
property as a whole, or that the property
owner is left with existing or vested uses
that are unreasonable such that the
property owner bears permanently a
disproportionate share of a burden
imposed for the good of the public, which
in fairness should be borne by the public at
large.
Inordinate Burden and Inordinately
Burdened do not include temporary
impacts to real property; impacts to real
property occasioned by governmental
abatement, prohibition, prevention, or
remediation of a public nuisance at
common law or a noxious use of private
property; or impacts to real property
caused by an action of a governmental
entity taken to grant relief to a property
owner under this section. However, a
temporary impact on development, as
PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT
2 | Private Property Rights Element GOPs
defined in s. 380.04, that is in effect for
longer than 1 year may, depending upon
the circumstances, constitute an
“inordinate burden” as provided in this
paragraph.
In determining whether reasonable,
investment-backed expectations are
inordinately burdened, consideration may
be given to the factual circumstances
leading to the time elapsed between
enactment of the law or regulation and its
first application to the subject property.
PPR Policy 1.6.b: Property Owner (s.
70.001(3)(f), F.S.) shall mean the person
who holds legal title to the real property
that is the subject of and directly

1.0 OVERVIEW
Purpose
This 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) identifies and plans for water supply
sources and associated facilities to serve City of Ocoee’s potable water customers supplied
under its consumptive use permit (CUP). The planning period for this Work Plan is 2025 through
2034, and it is intended to address the 2020 Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) Regional
Water Supply Plan (RWSP) and the 2025 RWSP update.
Statutory Requirements
The Florida Legislature enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2011 sessions to address the
state’s water supply needs. These bills, in particular Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative
session), significantly changed Chapters 163 and 373, F.S. by strengthening the statutory links
between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and
the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. Section 373.036 F.S. requires each
water management district to develop a RWSP for a 20-year planning period to ensure that
existing water sources are adequate to meet projected water demands. In turn and within 18
months following approval of a regional water supply plan, local governments within a
regional water supply planning area are required to develop a Work Plan to ensure that
adequate water supplies will be available to meet future demands for a minimum 10-year
planning period, pursuant to F.S. Section 163.3177(6)(c)3.
According to state guidelines, the Work Plan must address:
• A local government’s water demands for at least a 10-year period;
• Development of traditional and alternative water supplies and required facilities to meet
those demands;
• Conservation and reuse programs; and
• Capital projects needed for the first five years, including financially feasible revenue
sources.
In addition to the above Work Plan requirements, local governments are required to revise
their comprehensive plan for consistency with the Work Plan and regional water supply
planning initiatives.
As shown in Figure 1, the City of Ocoee potable water service area (PWSA) is located within
the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), and as shown in Figure 2, the City of
Ocoee PWSA is also located within the regional supply planning area known as the CFWI.
CFWI
The CFWI is a collaborative water supply planning initiative for the Central Florida region,
involving the SJRWMD, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Southwest Florida
Water Management District (SWFWMD), Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
water utilities, and other interested groups.
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN
Draft Water Supply Plan | 3
The information provided in this Work Plan has been prepared in accordance with the above
referenced statutory requirements, the 2020 CFWI RWSP, and population and demand
projections presented in the draft 2025 CFWI RWSP.
Wekiva Study Area
As shown in Figure 3, the City of Ocoee is also located within the Wekiva Study Area. Sections
369.321 and 369.322 F.S. require local governments located within the Wekiva Study Area to:
• Develop an up to date 10-Year Water Supply Facility Work Plan for building potable water
facilities necessary to serve existing and new developments,
• Coordinate land use and water supply within the Wekiva Study Area by ensuring that
comprehensive plan amendments that increase development potential demonstrate that
adequate potable water consumptive use permit capacity is available, and
• Coordinate with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and other public
and private utilities, on a countywide or multi-county basis to implement cooperative
solutions for development of alternative water sources necessary to supplement
groundwater supplies consistent with the SJRWMD Regional Water Supply Plan.
2.0 DATA AND ANALYSIS
Service Area
The City of Ocoee is located in West Orange County, Florida, southeast of Lake Apopka. The
City’s potable water service area (PWSA) was established by the Orange County/City of
Ocoee Water Service Territorial Agreement. This agreement was first executed on November
14, 1988, and most recently amended for a third time on January 26, 2016.
Parcels within the Ocoee PWSA are supplied by Ocoee’s water system or private wells with the
exception of the Forest Lake Estates development (previously known as Ocoee Pines). At the
time that this development was being designed, its project limits straddled Ocoee and
Orange County’s water and sewer service areas. Coordination with Orange County on utilities
services for this development resulted in Orange County providing water supply and sewer
services to Forest Lake Estates. On May 15, 2015, the City entered into a utility agreement with
Orange County whereby the City owns and maintains utilities infrastructure within the
development, and Orange County provides water supply and wastewater treatment services
to the development. Water and wastewater capacities for these developments are reserved
with Orange County. Potable water service is supplied through a master meter at the
entrance on Clarcona Road and wastewater for the development is collected at a City lift
station that discharges into Orange County’s sewer collection system.
Potable water service to parcels located outside of the Ocoee PWSA and within the Ocoee
Joint Planning Area (JPA) are supplied by Orange County or private domestic wells. The City of
Ocoee PWSA, JPA, and reclaimed water service areas are shown on Figure 4.
The City’s service area boundary has one small overlap with the City of Winter Garden along
the western boundary. Since the cities of Ocoee and Winter Garden are not a party of the
other’s agreements with Orange County and they do not have mutual agreements with each
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN

other. Should any questions over utility service providers arise in the area of overlap, the City
will coordinate with Winter Garden to determine the utility service provider.
Agreements
The City maintains the following water and reclaimed water agreements:
• Orange County/City of Ocoee Water Service Territorial Agreement
• Orange County/City of Ocoee Wastewater Territorial Agreement
• Orange County/City of Ocoee Reclaimed Water Territorial Agreement
• Ocoee/Orange County Reclaimed Water Agreement
• Ocoee/CONSERV II wholesale agreement
• Inter-local agreement with the City of Winter Garden
• Forest Lake Golf Course Lease
The Orange County/City of Ocoee Water Service Territorial Agreement defines the City’s
water service area. This agreement was first executed November 14, 1988 and most recently
amended for a third time on January 26, 2016.
The Orange County/City of Ocoee Wastewater Territorial Agreement defines the City’s
wastewater service area. This agreement was first executed June 8, 1997 with the previous
utility owner, Prima Vista Utility Company, and most recently amended for a third time on
September 11, 2001.
The Orange County/City of Ocoee Reclaimed Water Territorial Agreement defines the City’s
reclaimed water service area. This agreement was first executed on July 31, 2012 and
amended on September 15, 2015.
The Ocoee/Orange County Reclaimed Water Agreement provides reclaim supply from the
Orange County Northwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility to the North Reclaim Water
Service Area via a master meter on McCormick Road and provides an additional 1.0 MGD
transfer into the Ocoee Primary Reclaimed Water Service Area. A new 16” reclaimed water
transmission main and 1.5 million gallon reclaim storage tank and pump station to allow the
City to accept and distribute the 1.0 MGD supply is currently under construction and will come
online summer 2026.
The Ocoee/CONSERV II wholesale agreement dated May 23, 2001 provides for the delivery of
a maximum of 1.8 MGD of reclaimed water to the City from the connection point on South
Maguire Road. The City maintains a 0.75 million gallon tank and pump station to accept and
distribute this supply.
The City has a reclaimed water inter-local agreement with the City of Winter Garden, dated
May 4, 1999. Under this agreement, the City of Ocoee will accept up to 0.75 MGD of
reclaimed water for golf course irrigation at the Forest Lake Golf Course during wet weather
periods. In addition, Winter Garden agrees to accept up to 0.25 MGD of wet weather
discharge from the City of Ocoee wastewater Treatment Facility.
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN
Draft Water Supply Plan | 5
The Forest Lake Golf Course property was purchased using Ocoee utilities funds as a
reclaimed water disposal site. The property remains tied to the Ocoee WWTP FDEP wastewater
permit for reclaimed water disposal, and currently contains two rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). It
has also been identified in the Reclaimed Water Master Plan as the future site for a reclaimed
water tank, reclaimed watermain north loop, and RIB expansion. The Forest Lake Golf Course
operator leases the golf course property from the City, and two of the lease conditions relate
to reclaimed water. This includes provisions for the City to supply reclaimed water for golf
course irrigation and the disposal of Ocoee reclaimed water during wet conditions to rapid
infiltration basins (RIBs) located on the property. The lease was most recently amended on
August 17, 2016 and discussions are currently underway to amend the lease. Under the current
golf course lease agreement, the City may provide 0.45 MGD of reclaim water for golf course
irrigation when available; however, this quantity may be offset using flows from the City of
Winter Garden as allowed by the Ocoee/Winter Garden Interlocal Agreement executed May
4, 1999. The lease also requires that the golf course have its own backup supply.
Population and Development Trends
The City of Ocoee has a deep history rooted in agriculture and citrus industry; however, the
construction of several major roadway systems starting with State Road (SR) 50 in 1959 has
resulted in the transition from an agricultural to an urban setting. Today, major roadways
connecting Ocoee to the Central Florida metropolitan area include SR 50, Florida’s Turnpike,
SR 408, and SR 429.
SR 50 provides a direct east-west connection between the Ocoee and the City of Orlando.
Florida’s Turnpike allows access to north and south Central Florida. SR 408 connects to the
Turnpike south of SR 50, to downtown Orlando, terminating in east central Florida at the
University of Central Florida. SR 429 connects to US 441 to the north and I-4 just south of Walt
Disney World. The City of Ocoee’s proximity to Orlando and central Florida attractions, park
and trail systems, and major roadway access offers many opportunities to developers and
many amenities to its residents.
In 2010, the City completed the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Target Areas Special
Development Plan. The CRA was created to support mixed use sustainable development and
to allow for flexibility with the changing real estate market and resident preferences. In 2024
the CRA updated the Ocoee CRA plan. The plan is complete and is pending Orange County
approval.
In October 2016, following nearly a year-long process of community workshops to gather
public input, the City revealed its Downtown Master Plan. The Downtown Master Plan serves as
a high-level planning document to stimulate redevelopment and expansion of the City core
Consumptive Use Permit (CUP)
The City maintains one (1) CUP from SJRWMD, CUP 3216, and at the time of its most recent
renewal, the Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA) rule was in effect. The CFCA rule
limited groundwater allocations to a water supplier’s 2013 groundwater demand and required
that all additional water demands beyond 2013 be met with alternative water supply (AWS)
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN

sources. Therefore, the City’s CUP authorizes a maximum groundwater withdrawal of 4.88
MGD for 2014 through permit expiration (2026).
The CFCA rule expired on December 31, 2013, and this planning area is now referred to as the
CFWI. Chapter 62-41.300 through 62-41.305 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and the
CFWI Supplemental Applicant's Handbook specify additional consumptive use permitting
requirements related to the CFWI.
Projected Potable Water Demands
Potable water customer population and demands for the City’s water service area are
summarized in Table 1. This data aligns with the 2020 CFWI RWSP and the 2025 draft CFWI RWSP
projections.
The City has several projects related to reclaimed water expansion underway that may further
reduce projected potable water demands that exceed the currently CUP allocation,
including the construction of a new reclaimed watermain and reclaimed pump station and
storage tank to transfer 1.0 MGD of reclaimed water from Orange County. Needed projects
and potential potable water demand reductions to comply with any requirements for CUP
issuance with an increase in groundwater allocation are being evaluated with the CUP
renewal and reclaimed water master plan updates which are currently underway.

The City’s SJRWMD CUP currently authorizes the use of 4.88 MGD of groundwater to meet
public supply. Future water demands over 4.88 MGD will be met using a combination of water
conservation, new lowest quality water supplies, and lastly if necessary, an increase in
groundwater allocation as permitted by SJRWMD.
Potable Water Treatment Plants and Supply Wells
Potable Water Overview
The City owns and operates two (2) water treatment plants (WTPs): the South WTP and the
Forest Oaks WTP. These WTPs have a combined treatment capacity of 10.85 MGD and are
interconnected to provide potable water throughout the City's PWSA.
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN
Draft Water Supply Plan | 7
Forest Oaks WTP
The Forest Oaks WTP is located in the northeast portion of the City’s PWSA on Hackney-Prairie
Road. This WTP currently has three (3) active wells for public supply use, including two (2) Lower
Floridan aquifer wells and one (1) Upper Floridan aquifer well. The City is proposing the
construction of one (1) additional Lower Floridan aquifer well, Well #4. This well is included in
the CUP and is primarily development driven; however its need for climate resiliency related to
extreme storm events may result in this well being constructed sooner. This well’s need is
evaluated annually, and for planning purposes, construction is planned in the 6 to 10 year
horizon. The Forest Oaks WTP well information is presented in Table 2.

South WTP
The South WTP is located in the southern portion of the City’s utility service area, just south of
the Florida Turnpike, off Maguire Road. This WTP has two (2) active Lower Floridan aquifer wells
and one inactive well that is capped for future use. Connection to the WTP is developer
driven; however, its need for climate resiliency related to extreme storm events may result in
this well being constructed sooner. This well’s need is evaluated annually, and for planning
purposes, construction is planned in the 6 to 10 year horizon. The South WTP well information is

therefore, the total storage capacity at the South WTP is 1.34 million gallons. The treatment
capacity of the plant is 5.62 MGD.
Water Conservation
The City of Ocoee maintains a water conservation plan that exceeds the requirements of
SJRWMD permitting rules at the time of its permit issuance. This plan includes strategies,
policies, and measures to raise public awareness for water conservation, provide tools to
reduce usage, and encourage responsible water use. The City’s conservation program
includes public education and outreach, utilization of a lowest quality water source,
reclaimed water for landscape irrigation, and development requirements to reduce overall
water demand footprint.
Leading by example, the City’s Utility Building received the Florida WaterStarSM certification.
This building serves as the main office for the Utilities Department as well as an educational
resource for water conservation. The building design incorporates various interactive displays
to provide customers with a hands-on water conservation education for both indoor and
outdoor uses. This demonstration building has proven to be an asset to public education.
The City’s public education and outreach water conservation program is a dynamic plan that
changes based on emerging technologies and customer response; however, there are
several key components that serve as the baseline for the plan. These key elements are listed
below.
• Water conservation though public education and outreach programs,
• Advanced metering infrastructure,
• Display and distribute water conservation material,
• Post water conservation information on the City’s website and social media platforms,
• Provide high water user customer support,
• Maintain water-conservation rate structure,
• Maintain water conservation ordinances
o High efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN
Draft Water Supply Plan | 9
o Limit sprinkler irrigation
o Irrigation restrictions
• Require installation of dual-lined distribution systems,
• Reclaimed water retrofit program,
• Actively pursue lowest quality water supplies,
• Employee education, and
• Water loss control program.
The City maintains a water loss control program to ensure that utility and billing practices
quantify usage and do not result in unaccounted-for water loss to exceed 10%.
The City continues to evaluate projects to reduce dependency on groundwater and has a
long history of reclaimed water retrofit programs for system expansion. More recently and
since 2020, the City has partnered with SJRWMD and FDEP on a 50% cost share project for a
reclaimed water retrofit for the Hammocks development. In March 2025 the City received an
award notice for a 50% cost share match to construct a new 16” reclaimed water transmission
main to transfer 1.0 MGD of reclaimed water from Orange County to a new reclaimed water
tank and pump station that are currently under construction at the Ocoee Wastewater
Treatment Plant property.
Wastewater Treatment - Ocoee WWTF
The City of Ocoee operates one wastewater treatment facility (WWTF), the Ocoee WWTF. This
facility treats wastewater effluent generated within the City’s wastewater service area to
public access reuse standards for landscape irrigation use within the City’s Primary Reclaimed
Water Service Area. The Ocoee WWTF has a permitted treatment capacity of 3.0 MGD annual
average daily flow (AADF).
The City is currently evaluating two options to increase wastewater treatment capacity and
meet the nutrient load reduction to 3.0 mg/L nitrogen pursuant to the Wekiwa and Rock
Springs BMAP: construction of a post anoxic reaeration tank and a new advanced
wastewater treatment (AWT) plant. A preliminary study to upgrade the existing wastewater
treatment process to include advanced AWT was completed in 2022 and a conceptual AWT
facility layout was completed in 2024. AWT will be accomplished by either construction of a
post anoxic reaeration tank or new AWT plant by 2038 as required by the WWTF FDEP
wastewater permit. The AWT planning schedule to achieve required nitrogen reduction in
wastewater treated at the Ocoee WWTF is provide din Table 4.

Reclaimed Water
The City has proactively implemented a reuse program to reduce its dependency on
traditional groundwater supplies through a robust wastewater effluent reuse program. This
program was initiated long before the creation of the CFWI, and its predecessor, the Central
Florida Coordination Area, to address predicted local and regional future shortfalls in
groundwater supplies. In 1997, the City completed its initial Reuse Feasibility Study, and in
December 2001, the City’s reclaimed water distribution system became operational.
The City of Ocoee provides reclaimed water service to commercial and residential users by
way of two (2) separate service areas, the North Reclaim Service Area and the Central
Reclaim Service Area. A map depicting these service areas is provided as Figure 5.
In the North Reclaim Service Area, potable water and wastewater services is provided by
Orange County Utilities (OCU). Reclaimed water is supplied to the majority of the North Service
Area by a wholesale agreement with OCU, with reclaimed water from the Orange County
Northwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility entering the service area through a master
meter on McCormick Rd. The City owns and maintains the reclaimed water lines in the North
Service Area, and each connection is metered and billed by the City. However, three (3)
neighborhoods in the North Service Area (Forest Trails, Orchard Park, and Windstone) are
supplied with reclaimed water from the Central Reclaim Service Area described below.
The Central Reclaim Service Area is supplied reclaimed water primarily from the Ocoee
Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is supplemented through unidirectional metered
interconnects with Conserv II (Orange County - Orlando cooperative) and OCU. In 2024, the
Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility treated 724 million gallons of wastewater, or an annual
average daily flow (AADF) of 1.97 MGD. Table 5 details the past ten years of reclaimed water
flows to both the City’s North and Central Reclaim Service Areas. In total, the City provided

Infrastructure and Capacity Analysis
The City of Ocoee water supply facilities were assessed to determine whether the projected
five-year and ten-year demands can be met. Well production capacity was calculated by
maximizing daily pumping for each City well, excluding the well with the highest pump
capacity. Based on the analysis, the City’s existing water supply facilities are sufficient to meet
the projected five-year and ten-year water demands. A summary of the analysis is provided in
Table 6.

Utility Service Area boundary.
Concurrency
CIE Policy 3.1: The City shall maintain a Concurrency Management System (CMS) as a
monitoring mechanism to ensure that transportation, potable water, wastewater, reclaimed
water, solid waste, and recreational facilities meet their established levels of service identified
in each Element and listed this Element. The City shall issue no development orders or permits
without first determining whether adequate facilities to serve the development will be
available no later than the anticipated date of issuance by the City of a certificate of
occupancy or its functional equivalent. The City will also ensure that adequate services and
facilities are available and in place before issuing a certificate of occupancy or its functional
equivalent.
CIE Policy 3.1.a: The City shall evaluate the following facilities for infrastructure capacity:
roadways, potable water facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, schools, drainage facilities, solid
waste facilities, and parks and urban open space.
CIE Policy 3.1.b: A proposed map shall be prepared by July each year showing all areas in
the City in which the infrastructure is inadequate to meet the adopted level of service
standards.
CIE Policy 3.1.c: The map shall be reviewed annually (in conjunction with the annual
update of the CIP) to determine if additional areas shall be added or to determine if areas
on the map shall be deleted because they are no longer deficient with respect to level of
service standards.
CIE Policy 3.1.d: In addition to annual review, the City shall maintain an ongoing summary
of capacity and demand changes within the area served by each facility and shall review
the map when it appears that a facility has reached 90 percent of capacity; and shall
thereafter undertake periodic reviews on a quarterly basis rather than annually.
CIE Policy 3.1.e: The map may be reviewed more frequently upon a finding by the Board of
City Commissioners that there is reason to suspect that areas shown as having adequate
levels of service do not and/or that areas shown as having inadequate levels of service in
fact are not deficient.
CIE Policy 3.1.f: The map shall be adopted prior to October 1 each year, and shall be
effective for the subsequent fiscal year or until amended.
DRAFT WATER SUPPLY PLAN
18 | Draft Water Supply Plan
CIE Policy 3.1.g: The map shall be based on an evaluation of the total capacity of each
relevant facility component and the total actual demand placed on that facility (total
capacity of the facility shall include existing capacity as well as additional capacity from
planned projects) subject to the limitations of applicable state regulations; total demand
shall include actual current use as well as the potential use of properties which have not
been developed but which are considered as "vested" under the terms of the plan
adoption ordinance.
CIE Policy 3.1.h: The following standards shall apply to the use of the infrastructure
deficiency map when reviewing development applications:
• All applications for change in land use, zoning, preliminary subdivision approval, and
preliminary approval of any development shall be reviewed to determine if the facilities
serving the area in which the development is located would meet the level of service
standards herein. The results of this review shall be presented to the applicant and,
when applicable, to the Planning Commission and to the City Commission at the time
of their consideration of the application for preliminary approval or rezoning.
When review by the Planning Commission and/or City Commission is not required, the
results of the concurrency review shall be presented to the applicant and to the
reviewing/approving authority at the time of review. The purpose of the concurrency
review and report at the preliminary review stage shall be to explicitly place the
applicant and (when applicable) the reviewing/ approving authority on notice (1) as to
the status of the proposed development vis-a-vis concurrency, and (2) as the restriction
against final approval where the concurrency requirement is not met.
• All applications for final approval (including any applications for final subdivision
approval, final site plan approval which involves approval of density and intensity, any
change of zoning where a specific enforceable plan of development is included,
and/or a final development order for a development of regional impact) shall be
reviewed to determine if the facilities serving the area in which the development is
located meet the level of service standards herein. No such application may be
approved unless the infrastructure is found to be adequate.
• Where no change of zoning, subdivision approval, site plan approval, or other approval
is required, the concurrency determination shall be made at the time of building permit
review. No building permit shall be issued unless the facilities serving the area in which
the development is located meet the level of service standards herein.
CIE Policy 3.1.i: In the event that the property in question is within an area in which the
infrastructure is inadequate to meet the established level of service standards, approval
may be issued conditioned on the provision of adequate infrastructure prior to any
occupancy of the development (such conditional approval shall identify the specific
facilities which are deficient and the specific actions which must be taken before the
development may be occupied).
