RBW/ek DRAFT Subject to Board Approval MINUTES OF THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY SPECIAL MEETING HELD THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1994 CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairman Switzer at 7:30 p.m. followed by a moment of silent meditation and the pledge of allegiance. The determination of a quorum was made. PRESENT: Chairman Switzer, Members Jones, Landefeld, Miller, Rhodus, Swickerath, Alternates Draia and McKey, City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal, Planning Director Wagner, City Consultant/PEC Hooper, Deputy Clerk King, and Clerk/Stenographer Lewis. ABSENT: Member Bond. NEW BUSINESS PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS (PUBLIC HEARING) Chairman Switzer said this was a public hearing and explained the process of the hearing. Planning Director Wagner introduced Administrative Services Director Beamer, City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal, and Consultant Hooper as present and able to answer questions regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The amendments are the result of the ELMS legislation, the State legislature changed a few laws on growth management in the State. One change allowed for more flexibility to the Concurrency Management System. In order to change the Land Development Code the first step is to make changes to various elements in the Comprehensive Plan. The Board was issued complete elements taken from the adopted Comprehensive Plan, showing changes by strike-out and highlights. The modifications will make it easier to administer our concurrency management system and bring the City up-to- date with other communities in the area. The Board will receive at the next meeting the actual changes to the Land Development Code that the staff felt prone to change in the Comprehensive Plan. CASE NO. CPA-94-1-1 Modification of the Recreation and Open Space Element, the Future Land Use Element, the Capital Improvements Element and Figure 30 in the Appendices Planning Director Wagner said the Open Space Element had presently been structured and the City had adopted a whole range of standards as part of the Recreation Element. The standards cover ball fields and basketball courts in detail. It is not a common practice in Comprehensive Plans. Most communities in their plans have adopted these types of things as guidelines. They are used to structure their planning efforts but very few adopt that elaborate of detail facility standards. What it does for concurrency is to make it difficult for the City to administer, in that typically these facilities come on line in blocks. In other words when you add a park you DRAFT Subject to Board Local Planning Agency Special Meeting Approval February 24, 1994 add a number of facilities at one time so it comes in increments. It doesn't come in as one developer comes in and builds his project. We don't add an increment in recreation space, we add in a block at a time. Mr. Wagner suggested changing the detailed standards into simple guidelines. The second main change proposed is to formally adopt 4 acres per 1,000 population as the concurrency standard for parkland within the City. Previous to that, the City had a standard of 25 acres of recreation and open space per 1,000. Open space is loosely defined to include, not only park space, but also conservation lands, lakes, and even corridor open space along road rights-of-way. This is very difficult to quantify. Staff included in the existing plan plenty of open space within the City to meet that standard based on our current population. The current Land Development Code requires 20-30% open space on any development the City permits and Mr. Wagner did not feel it was a standard the City needed to continue tracking over a period of time. The main item is to be sure that the City has adequate park space within the community. Four acres per 1,000 is what the agency, now part of the DEP, Department of Natural Resources, adopted. The 4 acres per 1,000 standard for the State and the City will be adopting the State standard as its standard. The standard turns out to be very typical for cities of our size and many cases that is in excess of what a lot of cities have adopted. These were the main changes to the actual Recreation Open Space Element. Also noted were some minor modifications to the Future Land Use Development. In order to make these changes consistent throughout the document the staff had to go into the other elements and make changes such as text changes. Also modified were the Capital Improvements Element to formerly adopt the 4 acres per 1,000; a few of the tables have been changed to reflect some of the facilities that are part of the system. In the first go around the new golf course and a couple of other parks with improper number of recreational acreage were not included in the first inventory of facilities. Those figures, and a recreational facilities map on page 30, adding park complex as part of City Hall, have been updated. The public hearing was opened and as no one wished to speak the public hearing was closed. Chairman Switzer asked about the guidelines concerning the mini-parks on page 5. Planning Director Wagner said they were the initial standards and instead of doing it on a park by park basis, staff looked at the entire City. Alternate McKey commended the staff on the work in preparing the Comprehensive Plan. He questioned if the 4 acres changed the amenities of the current single family requirements. Also, he questioned if the golf course was part of the open space facilities because it was not free. Mr. Wagner said the 4 acres do not change the amenities of the single family requirements, and that the golf course was a user fee type facility. Member Landefeld, seconded by Member Miller, moved to approve the staff recommendation of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments CPA-94-1-1 for transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment. Motion carried 6-0. 2 DRAFT Local Planning Agency Special Meeting Subject to Board February 24, 1994 Approval CASE NO. CPA-94-1-2 Modification of the Traffic Circulation Element, the Future Land Use Element and the Capital Improvements Element PEC Consultant Hooper briefly summarized the Traffic Circulation Element using page 2 of the Traffic Circulation Element. Many LPA members had been present at the time it originally came through and in essence when this was brought forward the City attempted to adopt level "D" for its transportation network. At the time DOT and the Department of Community Affairs said it could not be done because the City was in an urbanized district, not in urban. Consultant Hooper said the City went ahead and adopted level of service "C" for the State roads and local roads with the idea immediately to petition to go with the NPO from the urbanized into the Orlando urban boundary. Once that was accomplished the City could set its level of service "D" on the road networks, similar to what Orange County, to Apopka, to all of the adjacent urban cities, to what they are doing so there would be a consistent roadway, a consistent standard. Application was made last year which goes through the NPO, DOT, Washington and back to the City. It takes a full year to accomplish and it's what the Board was viewing. Consultant Hooper explained page 14, Table 1 Evaluation of Roadway Capacity, that the City proposes to lower the Level of Service from LOS "C" to "D". The current LOS is "C" which the Local Planning Agency and the City Commission approved in 1991. The last major change was on page 50, the actual changing of the policy 6.4 which adopts the minor arterial and collector roadway - LOS Standard D; arterial roadways - LOS Standard D; freeway facilities - LOS Standard D. The other material included language cleanup removing the old 1985 trip data and replaced it with newer and more updated traffic/transportation network modeling and road network conditions. It is a very small but significant change for the City. City Manager Shapiro asked if the level of service "D" is the typical level of service in urban areas. Consultant Hooper said it was the typical urban service and it is what is in Orange County. It is typical of the urban boundaries and for the most part in surrounding cities that are in the urban boundary. Apopka, Orlando, nearly all of Seminole works this way. City Manager Shapiro said if the City is going to end up with a regional plan it must work on the same system or a comparable system existing in between cities. The public hearing was opened. Louie Geys, 238 N. Westmont Rd., Ste. 280, Altamonte Springs, FL 33714, asked the City Engineer to describe the Evaluation of Roadway Capacity Chart on page 14. Consultant Hooper pointed out the process used in acquiring the data, how trips and anticipated trips affect the traffic circulation element. Jim Ferdinand, 2001 Mercy Drive, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32808, asked Mr. Hooper, "With 3 DRAFT Local Planning Agency Special Meeting Subject to Board February 24, 1994 Approval the LOS going to level "D" what changes are going to occur on Maguire Road?" Consultant Hooper said there were 17,400 projected traveling as opposed to the current 14,000. It would change from level "C" to "D." The public hearing was closed. Member Swickerath said he had been on the Board for a long time and this Board functions both as the Local Planning Agency and the Planning/Zoning Commission. He was not sure he concurred with what Mr. Hooper said the Board previously approved. What you have done is lower the level of service to a point where you can add more trips per day to a road. The City has not widened any roads. All the City is doing is saying it is willing to suffer more inconvenience. He was not so sure that isn't an appropriate thing to do in a lot of cases but he did know personally and he believed the Board had addressed very seriously, particularly the situation on SR-50. He was concerned about what was happening on SR-50 and wanted the mall to go in but the Board had not wanted SR-50 running through Ocoee. What he saw was a reduction in facility to move through an area. It is probably true, the City Commission is willing to accept these levels of service and are probably appropriate, but the City has not increased capacity. Mr. Swickerath did not believe the people on the Board agreed to reduce the level of service or recommend a reduction of a level of service any place and to suggest that it is O.K. to go down SR-436, taking 15 minutes to go two miles and it is acceptable in that environment increases capacity. All it does is increase travel time. City Manager Shapiro said he recalled discussions regarding level of service and when staff did the Comprehensive Plan there was a sub-committee that covered traffic and there were discussions on levels of service at that time. It was all part of the joint approval of the LPA when it sent the Comprehensive Plan to the City Commission. Mr. Swickerath expressed concern over increasing traffic levels and wondered if the City was willing to suffer more inconvenience for the growth and requested a search in records as to the Board's recommendation of traffic level "D". He pointed out there are several corridors that are really difficult to negotiate, especially around the East- West Expressway and SR-50 . He recommended that the City Commission take a long look at the proposed LOS's to avoid our streets from becoming like SR-436. He wanted the City and his colleagues to be aware that someone would have to "come up with the bucks" in dropping from level "A" to "D" and would cause a higher tax rate. He did not understand why the Board had to accept everything so quickly. City Manager Shapiro said there was a price for keeping dirt roads like Windermere and it would take 20 years to reach level "D". Consultant Hooper said it was in being consistent with other urban areas. Alternate McKey expressed concern over increase traffic on White Road. Member Rhodus appreciated all the work that had been put in to planning but would like more information and time concerning the issues. She asked about the time frame of the projects. City Manager Shapiro said that growth in the area is based upon economics. The next step is to update the Comprehensive Plan and set a CIP for the community. Member Landefeld, seconded by Member Rhodus, moved to accept staff 4 A Local Planning Agency Special Meeting S u b j e t o '-�I cl Ap��rov�. February 24, 1994 recommendation of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments CPA-94-1-2 for transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment. Upon Member Swickerath suggestion Member Rhodus amended the motion to include the City Commission examine the proposed level of service and each segment individually. Motion carried 6-0. RECESS 8:50 - 8:55 CASE NO. CPA-94-1-3 Modification of the Capital Improvements Element Administrative Services Director Beamer explained the financial feasibility affecting the elements of the plan. In looking at the various changes recommended for the transmission the staff looked at parks and traffic circulation including them in the Capital Improvement Elements. Overall a 20 year horizon of the Comprehensive Plan is being broken into 5 year financial feasibility increments. Bonding, an integral part of the plan, could not be broken into a 5 year increment, for Water and Wastewater. The 1993 Bond Issue, in the official statement, stated the money would be utilized in specific areas and these would be included in the proposed Comprehensive Plan. Drainage basins have been modified, and the City had been optimistic in getting all of these done in one year but funds were not available. A detailed study on basins will be issued to the City Commission soon. The report goes from surveying the existing and looking at the land use to Capital Improvements necessary to reach a level of service that will keep flooding from occurring. A third of the basins may be finished in the 1993-94 fiscal year. As the City Manager indicated the process is still in place and look to add more improvements in the next few years. The public hearing was opened and as no one wished to speak the hearing was closed. Member Switzer said a "pet peeve" for him was a lack of restrooms around the gazebo and boat dock of Starke Lake. City Manager Shapiro pointed out each year these are included in the budget and each year they are cut for lack of funds. Member Rhodus asked if the use of the new City Hall restrooms would be available to the public and Mr. Shapiro said they were interior restrooms and would be locked on the weekends. Alternate Member McKey questioned page 23, paragraph A of the Capital Improvements in the proposed Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Beamer said the strike-out area should have been left in and it will be corrected. Member Miller asked about page 27 under County Local Option Gas Tax, Current Status which should read "Orange County has adopted the rate of six cents." Member Jones, seconded by Member Miller. moved to approve the staff recommendation of proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments CPA-94-1-3 for transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their review and comment.

CPA-94-1-1 DATE: February 18, 1994 APPLICANT: City of Ocoee Proposed Change: Modification of the Recreation and Open Space Element, the Future Land Use Element, the Capital Improvements Element and Figure 30 in the Appendices to accommodate revisions to park standards used within the City' s Concurrency Management System. Justification for Change: When the City' s Comprehensive Plan was formulated, a detailed list of recreational facility standards were identified to help analyze and project park requirements . Additionally, open space requirements were analyzed to determine if adequate lands would be preserved into the future. Unlike many communities which adopted a simple city-wide parkland area standard based upon total population, the City of Ocoee went into elaborate detail to define specific standards that have become burdensome to monitor from a concurrency management system standpoint . In reality, the general intents of the recreational facility standards are to serve as guidelines for the development of adequate parklands . As conditions change within the community, facility needs vary, and some flexibility is needed to meet these requirements . What is most important is to have a firm standard by which to measure the adequacy of parklands available for recreation. Accordingly, the proposed amendments make slight text modifications which change the detailed recreational facility criteria from standards to guidelines . Additionally, 4 acres of park and recreation facilities are proposed to be provided as a firm standard for concurrency management purposes . By utilizing this approach, the overall park and recreational facility needs of the community will still be evaluated periodically against a detailed set of criteria, but specific measures of parkland adequacy will be simplified similar to the way other cities monitor their recreational requirements . As a further clarification, the proposed amendments also treat the criteria of 25 total acres of open space per 1, 000 population as a guideline. Based upon the data and analysis provided within the Comprehensive Plan, it is obvious that the City will be able to maintain this amount of total open space throughout the planning period due to the extent of existing lakes, conservation areas, and corridor open space. Additionally, the Land Development Code ensures that 20-30-% of each development site is maintained as open space and ensures the protection of environmentally sensitive lands . Consequently, the text changes proposed will eliminate the need to continually evaluate this requirement for concurrency review purposes . t C Case No. CPA-94-1-1 February 18, 1994 Page 2 The remaining changes proposed include corrections to various tables and the Recreational Facilities Map (Figure 30 - Appendices) to reflect a more accurate assessment of park and recreational facilities presently existing within the City. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was prepared, a number of facilities were not accounted for and acreage figures were not accurately presented. Additionally, the City has added a new golf course facility to its inventory which should be included within the available supply of recreational space. These corrections, then, will help form the basis for evaluation of park and recreational facilities against an accurate set of data. C ILL C C I C C I CASE NO. CPA-94-1-2 DATE: February 18, 1994 APPLICANT: City of Ocoee Proposed Change: Modification of the Traffic Circulation Element, the Future Land Use Element and the Capital Improvements Element. Justification for Change: As of September 18, 1991 (Comprehensive Plan Adoption) the City of Ocoee was designated in the Urbanized Area but not contained in the Urban Boundary. The City made application to the Orlando Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization to officially modify the Urban Boundary to include the City of Ocoee' s Planning Area. This change was justified based on increased population density and the City' s growth rate. The request was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Orlando Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The request was also reviewed and approved by the Florida Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. On September 20, 1992, the City of Ocoee received official notification that the City' s Planning Area had been incorporated into the Orlando Urban Boundary. Based on inclusion in the Urban Boundary, the City is eligible to adopt an urban level of service for the roadway network. Based on the existing transportation modeling for the City' s Planning Area, a LOS D is proposed for the City' s roadway network. This proposed Level of Service is consistent with all other entities within the Urban Boundary and will provide an acceptable Level of Service for a growing urban city. Table 1 of the Transportation Element was updated to include the most current (1993) average daily trips for the identified 55 segments . Table 1 also includes the existing LOS based on 1993 trip counts plus daily trip counts from projects that have been granted final certificates of concurrency. As indicated in Table 1, the majority of the segments function at LOS C or better with the exception of 2 segments on Bluford Avenue and 1 segment of Maguire Road which operate at LOS D. The remaining proposed changes include the deletion of outdated accident information, clarification language and an update of the cost for system improvements . t C CASE NO. CPA-94-1-3 DATE: February 18, 1994 APPLICANT: City of Ocoee Proposed Change: Modification of the Capital Improvement Element. Justification for Change: The Capital Improvement Element has been modified to describe completed Capital Improvement Projects, modifications from the Recreation and Open Space Element, modifications from the Traffic Circulation Element, changes in estimated construction costs and the addition of water and wastewater projects identified in the City' s 1991 Water and Wastewater Revenue Bond Issue. The Capital Improvement Element was also updated to depict 1993 revenue projections for components of the General Fund and Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds . C C C C C I I I , ;-41 RE -TT A.

INTRODUCTION The Future Land Use Element is a required Element; the minimum criteria for its contents are established in Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) . This Element is formulated to be consistent with those criteria as well as relevant sections of Chapter 163, . Florida Statutes (FS) , the State Comprehensive Plan, and the East Central Florida Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan. The Future Land Use Element is the keystone of the Comprehensive Plan. It sets forth the physical plan for the future development of the City of Ocoee. It describes the appropriate location for the future land uses and promulgates the policies regulating the location and development of all land uses. The Future Land Use Element sets forth not only the density and intensity of land uses appropriate for all locations but also considers other factors affecting land use development, such as timing, cost, and current development trends. A. Purpose Two of the most important tasks in planning for future growth and development are evaluating and selecting a growth policy from various available alternatives. Historically, in the State of Florida, growth policies have emphasized accommodating growth as it responds to market conditions, within the broad guidelines of local ordinances and regulations, mainly zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations. Now, we are seeing communities working to manage their growth. The City's goal is to build a sustainable community in Ocoee. The City of Ocoee has evaluated the consequences of the three most common growth policy alternatives (uncontrolled, managed, and restricted growth) and has selected to pursue managed growth policies. These growth policies will determine the goals and objectives that will be used to achieve a managed growth scenario. The managed growth policies which the City will adopt shall include objectives to encourage development when and where appropriate facilities and services to support it are available, thereby discouraging urban sprawl and ensuring that concurrency is met. 1 1 The Existing Land Use Map (Figure 1) included as part of this Element, describes the location and distribution of land uses in the City in 1990. The Future Land Use Map (Figure 2 in Appendix A) will be the guiding force behind all land use decisions made from this point forward and is the focus of the Comprehensive Plan. It indicates the proposed location and distribution of land uses through the year 2010. All policies contained within this plan must be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Apparent inconsistencies among policies will be resolved by the Future Land Use Map or at the more detailed scale of project planning and specific development proposals. All land development regulations shall be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. All land development regulations adopted prior to the adoption of this comprehensive plan shall be brought into compliance with the Future Land Use Element. B. Historical Perspective The City of Ocoee is experiencing phenomenal growth. From 1987 through January of 1990, 1, 486 acres of land were annexed into the City. In. 1988, there were 4, 632 dwelling units in the City. Currently, there are over 5, 000 dwelling units proposed that are between the preliminary plan submittals and . the approval and development stages. There are many factors that have and continue to influence the growth in the City. First, and foremost is the unique transportation system alignment in the region. In 1990, the Western Extension of the East-West Expressway will be completed. This Extension, which is part of a beltway system which will eventually surround the Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) terminates just inside the City limits, making the trip to downtown Orlando approximately 20 minutes. In addition, State Road (SR) 50, a major east/west arterial that traverses all of Orange County divides the City. Also, the proposed Northwest Beltway and the Florida Turnpike both will have interchanges within the City. The second growth factor for the City is its proximity to jobs within the Orlando MSA, Walt Disney World, MGM Studios, and Universal Studios. As mentioned previously, the Western Extension of the East-West Expressway brings Ocoee to within 20 minutes of downtown Orlando. It is also approximately 20 E, minutes to the jobs generated by the Disney Development Company and Universal Studios. Another factor which influences the growth of Ocoee are the amenities in the area, including numerous lakes, rolling hills, recreational opportunities, excellent schools and a plentiful supply of potable water and the provision of services such as central water and sewer service. 2 I C Along with the growth of residential development, the City has noted a marked increase in industrial and commercial developments. IAlso of great importance to the City is the movement of the West Orange Hospital from the adjacent community of Winter Garden to Ocoee. This "Medical Mall" will be the only one of its kind in Central Florida. The concept incorporates office suites and services within the hospital area creating a regional health care campus with a high-tech image. C. Environmental Setting The City of Ocoee lies within three major drainage basins, the Wekiva, the Apopka and the Cypress Creek Basins (see Figure 3) . Located within the major basins are sixteen subbasins as identified in the Drainage Element. The City is within an area identified as the Mt. Dora Ridge, characterized by undulating hills with well-drained sandy soils, dotted with frequent lake depressions and solution sinks that usually contain water. The summers are long, hot and humid. Winters are mild with infrequent cold fronts dropping temperatures to below freezing. The mean annual temperature is approximately 75.25 degrees. Rainfall is approximately 48 .7 inches per year. Two landscape associations (ecological communities) are present in and around the City ; pine It flatwoods/hammocks/hardwood swamps and sandhills/isolated or flowing water wetlands (see Figure 4) . D. General Setting The City of Ocoee is located in western Orange County, in central Florida. The City consists of approximately 12.5 E. square miles. The City is located at the intersection of SR 50, the Florida Turnpike, the western extension of the East- West Expressway, and the proposed Northwest Beltway. The local•governments adjacent to the City include: Windermere, to the south; Winter Garden, to the west; Apopka, to the north; and unincorporated Orange County. Development of the City of Ocoee began along the shore of Starke Lake. The City has seen and will continue to see substantial growth. Since 1987, the City has grown from 3,250 acres to 5,527 acres in 1990 (excluding rights-of-way) . Residential development has moved from Starke Lake eastward along Silver Star Road (SR 438) and to the northeast and the south, along Maguire Road. Commercial development has concentrated along SR 50, between the Turnpike exit and Bluford Avenue. Industrial development is concentrated in the western portion of the City along and to the west of Kissimmee Avenue, from Story Road in the south, northward to Silver Star Road. 1 . 3 C E , E. Socio-Economic Data 1. Permanent Population Since 1985, the population of the City of Ocoee has grown at an extraordinary rate (approximately 6.86 percent per annum) . This growth, as mentioned previously, is primarily a function of the unique transportation system prevailing within the region, i.e. , the proposed Northwest Beltway, the Western Extension of the East-West Expressway, and the Florida Turnpike. Also, as mentioned previously, the City's proximity to many of the major employment centers has played a major Irole in the growth rate the City is experiencing. Because of the rapid growth and development in the region, the future population for the City was projected using the mathematical extrapolation and the ratio models. Allowing for a gradual slowdown of the growth rate as the City reaches build-out, the average of the two methods was used as the population projections for the City through the year 2010. The mathematical extrapolation model tends to overestimate the carrying capacity of the City, while the ratio method underestimates the type of growth which is occurring in the City. Table 1 shows the relationship and the average of the projections derived using the both methods.

Seasonal Population According to local realtors, there are no migrant farm workers in the City, nor are there any seasonal rental properties or recreational vehicle parks. Therefore, the City considered hotel/motel accommodations and the occupancy rates at these establishments, for an indication of the number of seasonal residents within the City. Table 2 illustrates the total projected population for the City of Ocoee using both permanent and seasonal projections.

For additional information on the methodologies used and the 1 calculations, please see City of Ocoee. Population Projections, 1990-2010 in Appendix B. F. The Local Economy Historically, agriculture has been the major component in the City's economic base. However, due to freezes and the resulting crop damage and destruction, the City's significance as an agricultural center has all but disappeared. The rapid conversion of farmland to other uses is marked by the development of low to medium density single family housing. The benefit of such conversions is the provision of ample land area available for new residents. Commercial and industrial land uses within the City are replacing agriculture as the mainstays of the local economy. The agricultural component has all but completely been eliminated. The emergence of easily accessible toll roads leading to regional industrial centers and the airport makes the City of Ocoee very attractive to residential, commercial and industrial development. The latest Orange County Business Patterns (March, 1986) indicated that the commercial sector, including the service industry and retail was the largest employer in the region. The industrial sector was the second largest. The situation 1 5 I in the County is representative of the City and as such, this data will be used to identify the distribution of total employment among City residents. Table 3 identifies the distribution of the total employment. ITABLE 3 DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL EMPLOYMENT, 1986 SECTOR PERCENTAGE Commercial 56.8 Industrial 15.7 Government 12. 6 Construction 7. 1 Transportation 5.4 Farm 1.3 Agricultural Services 1. 2 E, Source: Orange County Planning Department, 1990 Assuming these percentages have remained constant through the present, estimated total employment of the City residents is identified in Table 4. 1 TABLE 4 ESTIMATED 1990 EMPLOYMENT r SECTOR EMPLOYMENT • Commercial 3 ,711 Industrial 1, 026 Government 823 Construction 464 Transportation 353 I Farm 85 Agricultural Services 78 Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 (based on an estimated population for 1990 of 14,850 with an employment base of 44% (per 1980 Census data) As mentioned previously, the City's close proximity to many employment generators has greatly enhanced the growth which in now occurring. Many of the 3,711 persons employed by the Commercial sector who live in Ocoee, work in areas, not within the City, but rather in close proximity to the City. The 1 6 major employment centers for the residents in Ocoee include Disney World and Disney Development Corporation, the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Universal Studios, Sea World, and additional tourist related commercial activities. In addition, the retail market is also a great generator of employment. The Industrial sector is also a heavy generator of employment. Again, it is not only the industrial component within the City that creates the employment base, but also the industrial activities found in close proximity to the City. Major employers include the high tech industries such as Martin Marietta and those industries located in the 21 industrial parks located throughout Orange County. II. EXISTING LAND USE A. Land Use Land use within the City of Ocoee is primarily residential, accounting for 45. 6 percent of the developed land area (excluding water bodies) and 21.7 percent of the total land area within the City. The approximate acreages for each existing land use category, both in 1985 and in 1990, are provided in Table 5A below. 1985 land use data were included to provide information on recent development and annexations. Table 5B depicts the existing land use density for each category. 7 E .

Residential As mentioned previously, the City is primarily a residential community, representing 21.7 percent of the total land area (8, 010.3 acres) within the City. Residential land uses, including single family, multi-family, and mobile homes, account for the greatest acreage of existing developed land (1, 190.4 acres, or 47.4 percent) . Table 6 identifies the number of dwelling units within each class in the City in 1990. TABLE 6 RESIDENTIAL UNITS TOTAL, 1990 Type of Unit Total Units % of Total Single family 4,215 87. 0 Multi family 240 4 . 9 Mobile Homes 418 8. 6 Total Units 4, 873 100. 0 Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 a. Single Family Residential Single family housing, including duplexes, account for 1, 110. 0 acres, or 20.2 percent of the total land area within the City (44.2 percent of the total developed land use) , and 93 .2 percent of the total acreage in residential use. In 1985, 9 I there were 653 .8 acres of single family housing units. This represents a 70.0 percent increase in acreage devoted to single family housing in five years. Densities for single family residential use is less than four units per acre. b. Multi-Family Residential There are approximately 31.0 acres in multi-family residential use within the City. This number is . 6 percent of the total land area within the City (1.2 percent of the total existing developed land area) and 2. 6 percent of the total residential land use; acreage in this category increased 67. 6 percent since 1985. Densities generally range from four to eight units per acre. c. Mobile Homes There are 49.4 acres of mobile home residences within the City. This number represents .9 percent of the total land area within the City (2. 0 percent of the total existing developed land area) and 4. 1 percent of the total residential land use acreage within the City. 2 . Commercial Approximately 310.9 acres, or 5. 6 percent of the total land area within the City (12.4 percent of the developed land area within the City) are devoted to commercial uses. In 1985, commercial acreage was 129. 2 . In five years, commercial acreage has increased 138.5 percent. Commercial use occurs predominately on SR 50 from the exit of the Florida Turnpike to Bluford Avenue. There are also two small commercial pockets, one is also located in the central business district along McKey Street the other on the corner of Silver Star Road and Ocoee-Apopka Road. Along SR 50, there are two strip shopping centers, miscellaneous businesses, fast-food restaurants, gas stations, and two hotels. The central business district is generally composed of small, family owned businesses and food services. The second small commercial area has two small shopping centers, two banks, a car lot, and a convenience store. 3 . Industrial Currently, there are 145.0 acres in industrial use within the City representing 2.6 percent of the total land area within the City (5.5 percent of the developed land area) . In 1985, there were 112. 0 acres in industrial use within the City. This represents an increase of 29.5 percent. Industrial development is primarily concentrated in western Ocoee, along and west of Kissimmee Avenue between Story Road and Silver Star Road. 10 I 4. Recreation and Open Space Recreation and open space land use acreage is approximately E, 138 .8, or 2.5 percent of the total land area within the City and 5.5 percent of the total developed land acreage within the City. This represents a 121. 0 percent increase in recreation and open space land use acreage since 1985. A complete analysis of recreation facilities and open space and future recreation and open space needs is provided in the Recreation and Open Space Element. 5. Conservation Approximately 606. 6 acres with the City of Ocoee are conservation areas, including water bodies (562 . 0) . This number represents 11.0 percent of the total land area within the City (21.4 percent of the developed land area) . In 1985, conservation areas consisted of 304.2 acres. Since 1985, conservation lands have increased by 99.4 percent, due largely to annexations that have included numerous water bodies. 6. Public Facilities There are 130.8 acres, or 2.4 percent of the total land area within the City (5. 1 percent of the total developed land acreage within the City) devoted to public use. This number has not changed since 1985. This category includes: educational facilities; churches; public building, grounds, and facilities; and utility facilities. Public use facilities, such as City offices, are generally located on the northwest shore of Starke Lake between Bluford Avenue and Lakeshore Drive. Utility locations can be found in the Infrastructure Element. 7. Vacant Land There are approximately 2,985.7 acres of undeveloped land within the City. This number represents 53 .8 percent of the total land area within the City. In 1985, there were 1,796.3 areas of vacant land within the City. In five years, there has been an increase of 65. 5 percent vacant lands within the City. Of the 2,985.7 acres of vacant land within the City, only 125.9 acres have not been classified. Permitted land use acreages included in the vacant land use classification can be found in Table 7. 11 C CPA-94-1-2 TABLE 7 PERMITTED LAND USES, VACANT LANDS Land Use Acreage % of Total Vacant Acreage Residential 1,223 .9 41.5 Commercial 539.2 17.9 Professional Service 48 .4 1. 6 Industrial 259.7 8. 6 Planned Unit Development 788. 6 26. 2 Unclassified 125.9 4 .2 TOTAL 2,985.7 100. 0 Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 Where residential land use is concerned, of the 1, 251.7 acres slated for residential development, 1, 005. 8 are already committed through plans filed with the Planning Department of the City. For thoseareas designated for Planned Unit Developments, conceptual drawings have been submitted and some developments have moved into the preliminary approval stage. B. Infrastructure 1. Traffic Circulation There are two major arterial roads that currently serve the City of Ocoee: W.B. McGee Highway (SR 50) and Florida's Turnpike. The City is also served and bisected by Silver Star Road (SR 438) . ' For the Traffic Circulation Element, the City's roads were inventoried for traffic volumes, pavement widths, functional classification, and number of lanes. All roads within the City operated at an acceptable LOS or better when the studies were conducted (March, 1988) . The preferred LOS for the City is 'DAY:; "C", whilc "D" i3 accepted a3 the permi33iblc peak hour 3crvicc lcvcl for road3 exccpt major artcrial3. A capacity analysis for four signal controlled intersections within the study area was also conducted in March, 1989. Two of these intersections (See Traffic Circulation Element, Table 4) operated below LOS "D" . 12 Nine stop sign controlled intersections were also studied in March, 1989, three of these operated below LOS "D". (See Traffic Circulation Element, Table 5) . The Traffic Circulation of this Comprehensive Plan identifies an improvements schedule for relief of these deficiencies. 2. Sanitary Sewer The City's existing service area is defined in the Infrastructure Element, the Sanitary Sewer subelement. This area includes approximately three square miles of land area along with several commercial developments along SR 50 and the West Orange Industrial Park. Currently, two wastewater treatment plants area operated by the City's Utility Department. There are 1,850 active connections at these plants, generating approximately 07-58 0. 6 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater flows. For additional information on the Sanitary Sewer system in the City, see the Infrastructure Element, the Sanitary Sewer subelement. 3. Solid Waste The City is currently disposing the solid waste generated in the City in the Orange County landfill. Solid waste is collected and taken to the Porter Transfer Station, on Good Homes Road, prior to final disposal at the landfill. The landfill is 1, 500 acres in size and has 300 acres remaining with a site life expectancy of eight to ten years. In 1987, Orange County initiated the acquisition of 3,400 acres adjacent to the existing site. With the acquisition of additional land and subsequent permitting of additional disposal cells, the County landfill will extend its expected service life an additional 20 to 30 50 years. Solid waste generation by the City for the past ten years has been 0. 62 tons/capita/day; • this includes 95 percent residential wastes and 5 percent commercial wastes. The City contributes 1. 5 percent of the total waste load to the landfill. Solid waste collection service is provided by the City of Ocoee. The number of residential accounts presently being served is 4, 559 and 244 for commercial accounts. Hazardous wastes generated by the City are disposed the County facility. 7.5 percent of the hazardous waste generated is disposed via a permitted hazardous waste facility. The largest portion, 69. 6 percent, is recycled. And a significant amount, 22.9 percent, is disposed of through other management practices, i.e. , undocumented. 13 C C The Resource Recovery and Management Act, amended in 1988, mandates that the County reduce the amount of solid waste received at the landfill through recycling programs. In accordance with this, the City will also reduce its solid waste production. This requirement will ensure adequate landfill availability beyond the 20 year horizon of this plan. 4 . Drainage The flood plains of Ocoee consist of lowlands adjacent to a number of lakes and three streams (see Figure 5) . The topography of Ocoee is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills found to the east. Ground elevations in Ocoee range from less than 100 feet mean sea level (msl) to approximately 170 feet msl. Flooding due to rainfall in the principal lakes results from prolonged heavy rainfall over the study area with high antecedent lake stages. It is reported that flooding has occurred in Ocoee; however, dates of flooding and high-water marks were not established. In 1985, the City adopted subdivision regulations that addressed the issues of water quality, stormwater conveyance and flood protection. The majority of the City lies within the Wekiva River basin with the western portions of the City in the Lake Apopka Basin and the extreme southern portion of the City in the Cypress Creek Basin. The northern portion of the City generally drains toward Lake Apopka. For additional information on the natural drainage basins, flood plains, and aquifer recharge, see the Infrastructure Element, Drainage and Groundwater Aquifer Recharge subelements. 5. Potable Water The existing water system service area provided by the City includes the entire City and a few customers outside the City limits. The existing service area covers approximately 3 .8 square miles. The water service area is made up of the north system and the south system. The total average water demand for both systems is 2,342, 000 gallons per day (gpd) . The north system, consisting of the Jamela and Forest Oaks water plants pump an average of approximately 1, 699, 000 gpd, and experience an actual maximum day flow (mdf) of 2,885, 000 gpd. The south system consists of the Kissimmee Avenue plant. This plant supplies approximately 643, 000 gpd and experiences a maximum daily flow of 1,440, 000 gpd. (See Figure 6) As of April 1989, the City has provided water service to a population of 14, 000 people, operated three water treatment facilities, and approximately 50 miles of water mains. For additional information and projected water use and supply, see the Infrastructure Element, the Potable Water subelement. 1 14 C L 6. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge The United States Geological Survey identifies a large percent of the land area of the City as being in a "high recharge area" to the Floridan Aquifer, donating 10 to 20 inches of water to the aquifer per year. Most of the land area east of Bluford Avenue in the City is within a high recharge area. Most of the western portion of the City is located in a low recharge area, averaging between 0 to 3 inches per year in aquifer recharge. The Floridan Aquifer provides 100 percent of the potable water used in the City (see Figure 7) . C. Historic Resources There are approximately 5. 0 acres of historic resources within the City. This number represents .2 percent of the total land area or .2 percent of the developed land area within the City of Ocoee. The following historic resources are located within the City of Ocoee (See Figure 8) : o The Ocoee Christian Church was built in 1891 and is the oldest Christian Church in continuous use in the State of Florida. The architectural design is gothic. The bell was made in London, England and the stain glass window was made in Belgium. C. o The Withers-Maguire House was constructed in 1888. In 1984, the house was purchased by the City of Ocoee and the following year Resolution No. 85-4 recognized the Ocoee Historical Commission as an official body designated by the Board of City Commissioners to be responsible for making recommendations for the restoration of the Withers-Maguire House. o The Mr. and Mrs. James Meeks House was built in the 1890s. o The Blakely-Stoutenburgh House was built in the early 1900s. o The Tavares and Gulf Railroad depot was built in 1914. The depot continued service until 1960. Presently, it serves as a meeting place for the Ocoee Lions Club. o The Bank of Ocoee was built in 1919. Decorative blocks were added to the front wall during the 1960s. The front doors were paned with fine old beveled glass. Plaster, stucco, paneling, and dropped ceilings have been added recently. In the fall of 1985, the decorative blocks were covered with wood siding. 15 o Dr. Scott's office on east McKey Street. It is currently being used as law offices. o The Pound's House was built in 1887. The Pound's granddaughter plans to renovate the house. E. o The Ocoee Women's Club was built in 1938 in art deco style. o The Collison-Ocoee Funeral Home was built in the 1920s. o Dr. Starke's Fishing Camp E. o Maine Street - a brick street, this was the main route into Orlando. D. Conservation 1. Air Quality Due to the prevailing west winds in Ocoee, the City is usually not affected by the poorer air quality found to the east in metropolitan Orlando. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a uniform standardized daily air quality reporting index, locally known as the Air Quality Index (AQI) . The Orange County Environmental Protection Department monitors ambient air within the County. The Department has given the City an AQI of < or = to 50, with a Health Effect Descriptor of "Good. " 2. Surface Water Quality There are 13 lakes within the City that have been analyzed for non-point source pollution by the Non-Point Source Management section of the Department of Environmental Regulation in coordination with the St. Johns River Water Management I District and the City. In brief, the major source of non- point pollution, in 1987, was agricultural runoff. Urban runoff is now becoming a major concern due to the development of agricultural areas. Sediment control is now a major factor. The City requires developers to use sediment control techniques, such as stabilizing cut and fill slopes with temporary diversions, berms, bench terraces, or dikes to intercept and divert storm water runoff; leaving vegetation as long as possible, planting temporary cover promptly after grading or filling; tying down grass seed with jute, cotton, or paper netting, or with straw mulch sprayed lightly with asphalt; using erosion-control plants for steep slopes; reducing runoff velocity with grade stabilization structures; and controlling dust by sprinkling. (See Figure 9) [ 16 I 3 . Groundwater Quality Groundwater is the only source of potable water for the City's water system (the City draws 100 percent of its water from the Floridan Aquifer) . The United States Geological Survey has identified an area within the City as being in a "high recharge area" consisting of approximately 24 percent or 1,464.3 acres recharging significantly. 4. Soils The Orange County Soil Survey designates soil limitations for certain types of development. Due to varied restraints on different development scenarios, according to soil type, major constraints have been developed that deal with flood hazard, high water table, slope, soil erosion potential permeability, subsidence, and organic content. These soil constraints were rated with respect the following four land use areas: septic tank absorption fields; dwellings without basements; low commercial buildings; and roads and streets. Each soil was rated, as to its potential in each of the four areas, by evaluating soil conditions that are favorable or unfavorable for development. Favorable conditions are defined as those that will allow development without having any major constraints to overcome. Unfavorable conditions are defined as those that have one or more major constraints to overcome, thus having a lower potential rating for development. Soil potential is defined as the ability of the soil to produce, yield, or support a given structure or activity expressed in economic, social or environmental units of value. The criteria used include the relative difficulty or cost of overcoming limitations to development, the continuing limitations after development, and the suitability of the soil for a particular land use relative to other soil types. In Orange County, a six class system of soil potential ratings has been developed in coordination with the Soil Conservation Service. The six classes are identified and defined in the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Because of the nature of soil composition, soil borings are usually required to determine the properties of the soil content. A site's soil potential will be evaluated on a site by site basis through on-site examination and testing. (For additional information on soils, see the Infrastructure Element, Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge subelements, and the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan) . See Figure 10. 1 17 E. Recreation and Open Space 1. Existing Recreational Facilities: Resource-Based Recreation The City of Ocoee is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, blessed by its location on the many lakes in the area. The boat ramps and open spaces offer such resource-based activities as boating, fishing, and wildlife observation. 2. Existing Recreation Facilities: User-Oriented Facilities and Community-Sponsored Activities There are also activity-based recreation sites and facilities in the City. There are two focal points within the community, the Community Center and the Youth Center Complex where programs are provided by the Recreation Department. In addition, these Centers are also used for public meetings, weddings, and receptions. There are nine parks in the area. For a full description of these parks, please see the Recreation and Open Space Element of this Comprehensive Plan. 3 . Conservation Open Space E. Conservation Open Space and Conservation areas overlap. Lands not suitable for development due to their environmental importance are classified as conservation open space. These areas include lakes, rivers, wetlands, floodplains, areas dedicated to future resource development, and areas classified as "Conservation" on the Future Land Use Map. 4. Corridor Open Space Corridor open spaces are areas through which people travel but which are also designed for aesthetic enjoyment and leisure. These corridors can provide a linkage between recreation areas and residential areas or commercial areas. Examples of corridor open space within the City include: North Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee Parkway (Clark Road) , Maguire Road, south of the Turnpike and open spaces included in other rights-of-way. F. Undeveloped Land 1. Acreage of Undeveloped Land As mentioned previously, there are 2,985.7 undeveloped acres in the City. All but 125.9 of these acres have been zoned. Table 7, shown above, identifies the number of vacant acres within each land use category. 18 I L G. Analysis of Available Facilities and Services An analysis of available facilities and services to service existing and approved development orders have been completed. The analysis included services for sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, drainage, transportation and recreation and open space. A complete analysis is contained in each Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Summary analysis and information for the availability of services are as follows: Sanitary Sewer Facilities The City of Ocoee owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities which provides sewage treatment to the newer areas of the City. The combined capacity of the facilities is approximately 1. 12 MGD and existing flows are presently 0.7 MGD. Presently the facilities are being expanded (under construction) to 2.0 MGD and currently designs for expansion are being completed to 3 . 0 MGD. The City approves development orders only upon acquisition of water and sewer capacity by developers. The City has accepted payment and committed to provide sewer service for approximately 5, 000 equivalent residential connections (ERC) . The existing wastewater flow plan future connections (5,000 ERC's) will be serviced by the programmed expansion of the wastewater facilities to 3 . 0 MGD. The existing and expanded facilities will be sufficient to meet the demands for approved and future development orders. Potable Water Facilities Potable water for the City is provided by three (3) water treatment facilities. The average daily flow presently is 2.34 MGD. Similar to the sanitary sewer system, the City approves development orders only upon the reservation of water capacity. Presently approximately 4, 000 ERCs of water capacity have been reserved. The existing flow plus capacity for 4, 000 ERCs will be provided by the existing facilities and the improvements currently under construction. Thus existing and expanded potable water facilities will be sufficient to meet the demands for approved and future development orders. Solid Waste Solid waste generated by the City of Ocoee is transported to the Orange County Landfill. The City contributes approximately 1.5% of the total solid waste load delivered to the Orange County Landfill. The projected life of the 19 I I facility is fifty years, thus sufficient capacity exists for approved and future development orders. Traffic Circulation Ocoee's transportation network consists of state, county and municipal roadways. Existing and future roadways were analyzed (March 1988) . All roads within the City operated at acceptable LOS. Capacity analysis for intersections within the City were conducted (March 1989) and two intersections were identified below acceptable LOS. (See Table 4, Traffic Circulation Element. ) The Traffic Circulation Element identifies an improvement schedule for relief of the noted deficiencies and will provide adequate transportation capacity to meet approved development orders. Drainage Data concerning the City's existing municipal drainage system does not exist. The City shall adopt by October 1991 a stormwater utility to provide funding for major basin studies and analysis. The existing Land Development Regulations requires all new development to perform to acceptable LOS standards thus all new development will achieve an acceptable LOS. While these improvements may help alleviate some existing drainage problems, the listing of existing drainage facilities will not be completed until implementation of the stormwater utility system. Recreation and Open Space Table 4 of the Recreation and Open Space Element provides an inventory of all existing recreation sites within the City of Ocoee. Table 5 depicts the needs assessment within the City and identifies no deficiency. Table 7 identifies needs for future population projections and notes the funding source as impact fees thus no existing deficit exists and future deficits will be funded by growth as development is concurrently approved. In summary, upon completion of existing construction projects (presently under construction) and with the implementation of the stormwater utility (by October 1991) no deficits for infrastructure will exist within the City of Ocoee. The City will have sufficient capacity to provide services and facilities for approved and projected development orders. 20 I III. FUTURE LAND USE This section of the Future Land Use Element summarizes existing conditions and potential development trends and problems. Approaches to managing the expected growth and development of the City of Ocoee will be developed based on these analysis. The conditions to be examined are grouped into two categories: natural conditions and manmade conditions. Included in the first category are factors such as soil suitability for development, topography, the presence of natural resources which may act as impediments or stimuli to growth. The second category is comprised of factors such as availability of potable water, availability of urban services including sewage, solid waste disposal, transportation/access, and the presence of historic resources. In addition, we will look at Special Strategy Areas. A. Growth Patterns 1. Residential Patterns Residential development has moved from Starke Lake eastward along Silver Star Road (SR 438) and to the northeast, along the Clark Road corridor, and the south, along Maguire Road. C 2. Commercial and Industrial Patterns Commercial development has concentrated along SR 50, between the Turnpike exit and Bluford Avenue. Industrial development is concentrated in the western portion of the City along and to the west of Kissimmee Avenue, from Story Road in the south, northward to Silver Star Road. 3 . The Reserve Planning Area Agreement To provide orderly growth patterns and adequate provision of services, the City of Ocoee and Orange County have developed a Reserve Planning Area Agreement. This agreement sets specific boundaries of the expansion area of the City (see Figure 11) . All land use changes and annexations that occur within this area are reviewed with the County. Likewise, if any requests come to the County, City staff are consulted to ensure thorough coordination and compatibility. Through this mechanism, annexation procedures take much less time than before. One benefit of this agreement is that it prevents the proliferation of sprawling developments along major corridors and the creation of enclaves. In addition, the provision of 21 I I services is guaranteed. (See Appendix A for the Reserve Area Map) . 4 . Other Interlocal Agreements The City is presently negotiating intergovernmental agreements with the adjoining municipalities of Apopka, Winter Garden, and Windermere addressing future boundaries and service deliveries. 5. Annexation Policy The City of Ocoee will continue its present annexation policy of allowing controlled growth in a manner not in conflict with adjacent uses with the proper infrastructure in place. Future annexation cannot be predicted, however, a thorough impact study will be undertaken prior to annexation of any new areas. 6. Suitability for Use of Vacant Land Vacant land in the City of Ocoee and the Planning Reserve Area consists of (1) lands which have been bypassed for early development due to environmental constraints and (2) lands which have not yet been developed due to lack of need in the past. Vacant land which has been bypassed includes (but does not consist solely of) water bodies, wetlands, and flood plains. Most previously undeveloped areas (see existing land use map and maps showing specific environmental features) are not constrained by environmental limitations or presence of unique historical or archaeological features. As indicated by a review of the analysis, specific efforts to protect features of bypassed lands are and should continue to be implemented. These include constraints on development of water bodies, wetlands, flood plains, etc, as are further defined in the Conservation Element and other elements of this Plan. B. The Future Land Use Map The Future Land Use Map (Figure 2) , which is provided herein, indicates the projected future land uses within the City's Reserve Planning Area. The Map is not intended to be a zoning map, but rather a general delineation of land use types. Various zoning categories may be allowed in each of the land use categories. For a proposed development to be permitted on a given parcel of land within the City, a determination must first be made that the zoning required for that development is consistent with the land use shown on the Future Land Use Map. If the zoning is not allowed within the land use category, then an amendment to the plan must be pursued before the proposed development can be considered on that site. If the zoning is permitted within the land use category, then the proposal may be considered by the City. At that point, the 22 L various Goals, Objectives, and Policies contained within all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan shall be considered, and the development proposal shall be evaluated to determine if it is consistent with those Goals, Objectives, and Policies. C. Standards 1. Land Use Categories Land use categories are designated for existing and future land uses in the planning area. Actual zoning districts permitted in each land use category are listed in the City's development regulations. The categories are as follows: o Low Density Residential (less than 4 dwelling units per acre) - This use is appropriate where urban services are provided in a neighborhood setting. This density range accommodates detached single family houses, patio homes, zero lot line houses, and other forms of detached or semi-detached housing. o Medium Density Residential (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) This use is intended to provide a buffer between low density residential uses and more intense uses, such as high density residential or commercial. o High Density Residential (8 to 16 dwelling units per acre) - This use in intended for areas close to major intersections, and commercial and light industrial areas, where a slightly higher amount of residential trips can be permitted because they are relatively short due to their proximity to shopping and major roads. They are not permitted to create additional burdens on internal street networks and intersections. Apartments and other intense housing product types are typical uses; however, low and medium density residential uses may also be permitted. Density may be computed in a defined development project by allowing clustering in certain areas. These clusters may be of greater density than allowable within the land use designations as long as the total project does not exceed maximum density as designated on the Future Land Use Map. Clustering, pursuant to the foregoing concept, may be controlled by density caps, conditional zoning or a restrictive covenant running with the land with power of enforcement in favor of the City. o Planned Unit Developments - The overall net residential density of these developments shall be 4 dwelling units per acre or less. 1 1 23 I C o Commercial (high, medium, and low intensity) - These areas are primarily suitable for office and retail businesses. These uses shall be confined to certain arterial and collector roads and to activity centers (see Policy 1. 11) . o Industrial (light and heavy) - These areas are primarily for industrial uses but shall also permit secondary mixed uses of offices and limited retail within industrial development. Lands designated for industrial use should be near railways and/or major highways. Adequate buffering shall be provided from adjacent land uses, and transitional uses such as office and/or commercial uses shall be considered between industrial and residential areas (see Policy 1. 11) . o Conservation - These areas include waterbodies, floodplains, and wetlands. Such areas will be delineated on a site by site basis as development proposals are considered. The Future Land Use Map identifies approximate, general locations of these areas. Policies for properly protecting such areas are contained in this element, and the Conservation Element (see Policy 1. 11) . o Recreation and Open Space - This category includes both active and passive recreation areas and facilities and corridor open spaces (see Policy 1.11) . o Public Facilities/Institutions - This category includes all government owned property (except parks) , public and private schools, hospitals and churches. These uses may be permitted in industrial and commercial areas and in residential . areas where negative impacts will be minimal. o Agricultural - This category is not shown on the Future Land Use Map because no agricultural uses are projected to occur within the Joint Planning Area.

Land Use Needs 1. Housing Housing projections used in the Housing Element of this Comprehensive Plan were developed using the projected acreages of low/medium and high density uses, calculating the density averages (low/medium at 4.2 units per acre and high density at 12. 6 units per acre) , and using the percentages of Single Family and Multi Family existing in 1990. Included in the low to medium density dwelling are typical detached single family homes, duplexes and mobile homes. High density includes all multi family dwellings such as townhomes and apartments. In 1990, multi family dwellings comprised 4 .9 percent of the total number of dwelling units. Low and medium density dwellings represented 95. 1 percent of the total number of dwelling units) . For example, in 2010, there will be 3 , 085. 5 25 C r: acres of low to medium density residential. The average density for these categories is 4.2 dwelling units/acre, this generates approximately 12,955 total low to medium density dwelling units. In addition, there will be 173 . 6 acres of high density residential, generating 2, 191 units (at 12. 6 dwelling units/acre) . To project the acreages of each category through the year 2010, we assume that, due to market conditions, and the price of single family units, multi-family or high density residential uses will increase, while low and medium density or single family uses will decrease. Based on land use projections and the average densities and related carrying capacities, by 2010, multi family dwelling will comprise 15.0 percent of the total number of dwelling units and single family will be 85. 0 percent. Table 9 identifies the projected dwelling unit total, by type of structure, through the year 2010.

Commercial Land Use To project the acreages needed for commercial and professional service uses, the City will use the current level of service (1 acre of commercial for every 46 residents) as the constant in the equation. See Table 10 for projected acreages needed for commercial development. 26 I I ITABLE 10 PROJECTED COMMERCIAL ACREAGES BASED ON POPULATION TOTALS Year Proj . Total Population Acreage Commercial/ PS Needed 1 1995 18, 114 394 acres 2000 22,357 486 acres 1 2005 27,782 604 acres 2010 34,835 757 acres Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 IBased on the projections found on Table 10, there will be more than enough acres devoted to commercial and profession service uses to serve the projected populations through the planning period. While the above table shows that the projected commercial acreage will be adequate based on the 1990 standard of 46 persons/acre, it should be noted that this factor has been changing and will likely continue to change. The ratio dropped from 87 to 46 between 1985 and 1990, a change of 47%. The number will continue to drop as Ocoee residents continue to shift from relying on employment and services outside the City to relying on new employment inside the City. The projected commercial area reflects a ratio settling into the 20 to 30 persons per acre range. 3 . Industrial Land Use In coordination with the Orange County Planning Department, the City will assume that 15.7 percent of the employment base of the City are employed in the industrial trade. In addition, based on the current correlation of employees per acre (15 employees per acre) , we can project the number of industrial land use acreages needed through the planning period. Table 11 provides these projections. ITABLE 11 PROJECTED INDUSTRIAL ACREAGES NEEDED Year Population # Employed Acreages Needed 1995 7, 970 1,251 83 2000 9,837 1, 544 103 2005 12,224 1,919 128 2010 15, 327 2,406 160 Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 1 27 L CPA-94-1-1 While the above table shows that the projected industrial acreage will be adequate as a minimum, consideration should also be given to the trend of increased employment opportunity within Ocoee. The trend is consistent with the emergence of Ocoee as a transportation center within the region. A review of the past trend shows that the ratio of population to industrial acreage dropped substantially (52%, from 101 to 48) between 1985 and 1990. Evaluating the projected acreage shows that it will range between 45 and 70 during the planning period, which is consistent with the range held between 1985 and 1990. As depicted in Table 11, there will be an adequate number of acres in industrial use in the City through the year 2010 (acreage needed = 160, acreage projected = 520.8) . 4. Recreation and Open Space (including conservation areas) The level of serviceea ""°i `ie for recreation and open space is 25 acres per 1, 000 resident. Table 12 identifies the number of acres needed to adequately serve the future population of the City. TABLE 12 ACRES NEEDED FOR RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE Year Population Acres Needed 1995 18, 114 453 acres 2000 22,357 559 acres 2005 27,782 695 acres 2010 34,835 871 acres Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 Based on the projected acreages provided in Table 12, there will be an adequate supply of recreation and open space within the City through the planning period (2010 - acres needed = 871, 2010 - acres projected = 1,580.4) . Approximately 33 percent of the acreage devoted to recreation and open space shall be activity based. The remaining 67 percent shall be open space and conservation lands. 1 28 I 5. Institutional Land Use Based on the current service of 7.0 acres per 1, 000 residents we can project the need for institution land uses through the planning period. Table 13 identifies these needs. 1C L I 29 E TABLE 13 PROJECTED INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE ACREAGES Year Population Acres Needed 1995 18, 114 127 acres 2000 22, 357 156 acres 2005 27,782 195 acres 2010 34,835 244 acres Source: City of Ocoee Planning Department, 1990 Based on the projections used in Table 13, by the year 2010, there will be 244 acres of institutional uses in the City. As can be seen above, this number adequately serves the projected Ipopulation of the City. F. Availability of Services The intent of the legislature in passing the concurrency requirement, found in Chapter 163 , Florida Statutes, is to ensure adequate and effective provision of services and facilities to facilitate projected growth. The concurrency doctrine states that a development order or permit on any project shall not be issued if the project will reduce the existing level of service below that which is established in the Capital Improvements Element. The Department of Community Affairs' stated policy is that the necessary facilities and services be under construction at the time the permits are issued, complete when the development occurs, funded in the budget, or a binding contract for construction of the facility is signed. The necessary services that fall under the purview of concurrency are roads, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, and recreation. Each of these services are detailed within their corresponding elements and Iare summarized below. 1. Traffic Circulation I The future road needs of Ocoee through the year 2005 were developed using the Future Land Use Map, system performance standards, and public involvement. The process involved calibrating a computer traffic assignment model using existing land use data to simulate existing volumes. Thereafter, this model was run with year 2005 land uses to produce year 2005 traffic volumes. After a master road plan was developed, improvements and priorities were established. These ranked projects were then segregated into five year increments. The C first five year increment will serve as the basis for the Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance. 30 The 1989-1993 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Orlando Urban Area documents planned improvements to the area's transportation system through fiscal year 1993 . Figure 6 in the Traffic Circulation Element identifies the programmed improvements in the Ocoee area. The Northwest Beltway has been designed and the East-West Expressway is nearing completion by the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority. Both of these facilities will have direct connections to the City. On the east side of the City, Clark Road will be built from SR 50 north to Clarcona-Ocoee Road (See Traffic Circulation Element) . Clark Road will become a major four laned arterial roadway within the City and as such, the Clark Road corridor will be the focus of growth within the community throughout the planning period. Four year 2005 traffic assignments were produced in developing the long range transportation plan. The existing network was updated to include projects in the five year work program. This was the base plus committed highway network. The year 2005 assignment was executed twice, once to determine average trip lengths and once to determine area deficiencies. Deficiencies (links with Volume to Capacity Ratios greater than 1.1) were identified (See Traffic Circulation Element, Table 16) . Two additional year 2005 traffic assignments were performed. The third assignment contained the base plus committed network as well as improvements to Clark Road, Hackney Prairie Road, and Maguire Road. The final future traffic assignment included improvements to: McKey Street, Franklin Street, Marshall Farms Road, and W.B. McGee Highway (SR 50) . The recommendations for improvements to the arterial and collector street systems are provided in the Traffic Circulation Element. The implementation device for projects other than those built by the Department of Transportation, the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority, Orange County and private investment is the Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance. 2. Sanitary Sewer As of April 1989, the City has provided wastewater service to approximately 1,850 customer. connections and operates two wastewater treatment facilities, nine pumping stations, and 21.9 miles of sewer lines. Table 3 of the Sanitary Sewer subelement of the Infrastructure Element details the City of Ocoee's service area population and sewage flow rate projections up to the year 2010. These projections are based on the City's requirement that all new developments connect to the wastewater system, if at all practical. To meet the growing demand of wastewater treatment in Ocoee, the City has developed a construction schedule to assure adequate 31 C Icollection/transmission, treatment and disposal facilities. Table 4 in the above referenced subelement details the proposed twenty year facility construction schedule. These improvements include the expansion of existing disposal areas, provision of additional collection/transmission systems, construction of an interim sludge facility, construction of an additional 1.0 million gallons/day (mgd) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) , construction of an additional 1. 0 mgd clarification unit, construction of a first phase solids handling facility, and the construction of a 2.0 mgd effluent filtration system. As previously stated, Table 4 of the Sanitary Sewer subelement provides a construction schedule for each of these improvements. 3 . Solid Waste Based on data provided by the Orange County Refuse Disposal Department, the Orange County Landfill has experienced a tremendous increase in the amount of waste deposited since operations began. This increased demand has shortened the service life of the 1, 500 acre landfill to an estimated expectancy of 8 to 10 years. The 1, 500 acre landfill site has a capacity of 12.5 million tons. As indicated by the Department, the tonnage deposited each year is rapidly increasing. Through 1987, approximately 5,904,833 tons of waste were deposited, leaving 7, 051,500 tons of capacity. Based on projected deposit amounts for the landfill (provided by the Orange County Planning Department) , the existing landfill capacity will be exhausted by FY 1996-97. However, 1 the projections do not account for the effect of mandatory reductions in the volume of solid waste brought to the landfill. The recycling programs designed to reduce the volume of solid waste accepted at the landfill will I effectively increase the life expectancy of the County landfill through the year 2010. In 1987, Orange County initiated the acquisition of 3 ,400 acres adjacent to the existing site. With the acquisition of additional land and subsequent permitting of additional disposal cells, the County landfill will extend its expected service life an additional 50 years. 4 . Drainage E The regulations currently existing and enforced by the City of Ocoee, the St. Johns' River Water Management District (SJRWMD) , and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) adequately regulate new development in regards to stormwater quality. The regulations also do a good job of regulating stormwater quantity discharges from new development, in basins which have positive outfalls. The current problems arise from two sources which historically have not been adequately addressed. The first are areas 1 32 I • Ideveloped prior to stormwater regulations. These areas without water quality controls continue to add pollutants I carried by stormwater runoff to the lake systems. The second problem area is that of new development in landlocked basins. Dealing with those areas which were previously developed will require a commitment of both time and money on the part of the governmental bodies affected. Studies will be performed to determine which areas have direct stormwater discharges, the pollutant loading of the discharge, the possible alternatives to reducing the pollutant load, the cost of each alternative, and a recommendation on what alternative should be implemented. To fund the improvements for areas previously Ideveloped, a stormwater utility will be utilized. The areas surrounding the landlocked basins which have not yet been developed can be controlled by strict regulations in the form of a Master Drainage Plan. Requiring the retention of the 100 year storm will provide an added measure of protection. These areas may also require restrictions on land uses which contribute additional flows to the basin through such improvements as septic tanks and irrigation. In conclusion, the City shall undertake a major basin study and develop a Master Drainage Plan by 1992 as noted in the Drainage subelement of the Infrastructure Element. In addition, levels of service for drainage as presented in the Drainage subelement of the Infrastructure Element shall be adopted and land development regulation shall be implemented to regulate developments. 5. Potable Water Water facilities should be designed to provide the projected population's needed supply. The level of service is an indication of service quality provided by or proposed to be provided by a water facility, based on the operational characteristics of the facility. The normal water consumption, on average, per person is 140 gallons per day or 300 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit (ERU) . This number is typical for domestic water systems in general, and is accepted by the SJRWMD. Therefore, 300 gpd/ERU is the level of service which will be provided by the City of Ocoee. In addition, 300 gpd/ERU is used as the level of service for projecting future water demands. As of April 1989, the City of Ocoee provided water service to a population of 14, 000 people and operated three water treatment facilities, and approximately 50 miles of water mains. The projections for water use was based on population projections and the City's service area boundary through the year 2010. These projections are based on the City's 1 33 I CPA-94-1-1 anticipation to deliver water capacity to all new developments within the planning area. To meet the growing demand of water treatment in Ocoee, the City has developed a construction schedule for system improvements to assure adequate treatment and distribution facilities. Table 14 in the Potable Water subelement of the Infrastructure Element details this proposed twenty year water system improvement schedule. See Infrastructure Element, Potable Water Subelement. 6. Recreation and Open Space Future recreation needs were projected for the years 1991, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 using the City's lcvc13 of 3crvico ""' " "". 'a a `" 17t �>..: . es and the projected otsndard3 r • x ..., n population of bcoee in each".of"'`those years. Tables 7 and 8 of the Recreation and Open Space Element identifies those needs. Those capital improvements needed through the year 1995 shall be implemented through the use of the Recreational Parks Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance. G. Natural Resources The limited natural resources within the City of Ocoee shall play an important role in the permitting of future 1 developments. By promoting concentrated developments and mixed use proposals, the City will aid in the preservation of its environment and resources. Natural resources that are threatened by urbanization include air quality, groundwater, surface water, native vegetation and wildlife, and floodplains. These resources are summarized below. 1. Air Quality Air quality in the City of Ocoee is monitored by the Orange County Environmental Protection Department through their ambient air monitoring program. Due to the prevailing west winds in Ocoee, the City is usually not affected by the poorer air quality found to the east in Orlando. The Air Quality Index for the City is general < or = to 50, with a Health Effect Descriptor, "Good" . There are no major heavy industrial plants in the City that generate large quantities of point source emissions. The most significant emission generators are automobiles. The Department of Environmental Regulation periodically monitors these emissions to ensure that this source does not become a major problem. To ensure the success of this process, the 34 I C Proposed activities which would destroy or degrade the function of wetlands or deprivate habitats shall not be permitted except where there is no practical alternative. Where unavoidable, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. Land development proposals shall include identification of, and management plans for rare, endangered, and threatened floral and faunal species and their habitats. Conservation efforts shall include "wildlife corridors" and buffers to permit wildlife to move throughout the areas and maintain E. their existence. 5. Flood Prone Areas Floodplains and flood prone areas are identified in the Drainage subelement of the Infrastructure Element. Currently, the City prohibits development in the floodplains through its Flood Damage Protection Ordinance. 6. Soils C In Orange County, a six class system of soil potential ratings has been developed in coordination with the Soil Conservation Service. The six classes are identified and defined in the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Because of the nature of soil composition, soil borings are usually required to determine the properties of the soil content. A site's soil potential will be evaluated on a site by site basis through on-site examination and testing. (For additional information on soils, see the Infrastructure Element, Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge subelements, and the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan) . H. Redevelopment I Redevelopment should be encouraged to optimize existing infrastructure. Redevelopment and revitalization protects the substantial investments in public facilities that currently exist. 1. Blighted Areas No areas within the City have been identified as requiring comprehensive redevelopment activities. However, the City shall conduct detailed studies of all areas where blighted conditions (including drainage and infrastructure inadequacies) may occur. This information will be used to submit applications for Community Redevelopment funds. 2 . Elimination and/or Reduction of Incompatible or Non-Conforming Uses 36 I C To adequately respond to the issue of non-conforming uses, the City will develop non-conforming use regulations. These regulations will stipulate that any non-conforming activity must be phased out in time by prohibiting the expansion of physical facilities, or their replacement, unless there is more than 50 percent destruction. In addition, as redevelopment occurs, plans shall be reviewed to ensure their compatibility with surrounding land uses. 3 . Infill Infill is defined as those properties inside the urbanized portion of the area which already have public services and infrastructure but have been skipped over in the development process. Generally, infill sites are limited in size to a few acres or less and are located in an area where the surrounding development is at least 15-20 years old. The bulk of the property has been vacant or underused for at least five years. This development alternative is advantageous to local governments for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to a means of reducing infrastructure investment, improving tax bases, and often restoring the vitality to declining neighborhoods. For developers, the advantages include being close to commercial areas and having infrastructure already in place. CThe following conditions are important to the successful development of a site: 1) proximity to employment; transportation; and shopping, cultural, recreational, and other facilities; 2) evidence of successful small scale individual rehabilitation or redevelopment projects; 3) innovative solutions to those limitations that have prevented sites from being developed; and 4) a minimum of problems with crime, pollution, or services. Promoting development can be accomplished through the provision of economic and regulatory incentives. Such incentives may include floor area ratio credits, streamlining the permitting process for development proposals within these I areas, zoning variances on building setbacks, side yard and parking requirements and allowing sufficiently higher densities to make investment profitable and affordable housing possible. The most important role that the City can play in the process II of infill development is that of providing the necessary and costly initial research. This includes the field and data survey to determine what land is available and what the development problems are. The resulting catalog of sites would permit local officials to determine what alternative development implications would mean to the public and 37 I 1: determine procedures or which of the aforementioned incentives should be utilized to encourage the maximum private development. I. Special Strategy Areas While most of the City of Ocoee will see land use develop not unlike that observed in the recent past, there are two areas, one that will see phenomenal growth and one that will need special attention to promote growth, these shall be termed "Special Strategy Areas (SSAs) . First, "Interchange Impact Areas (IIAs) are areas that will provide access to expressways, that generate high volumes of trips, and convenient access to the Orlando International Airport, industrial and commerce parks to the south and east, the Florida Turnpike, the Beeline Expressway, and downtown Orlando. Through these IIAs, the City of Ocoee will evolve into a transportation hub - a regionally significant center. In realizing the impacts these areas will have on the City, L they have become areas that will require special development plans, not unlike the planning of Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs) . Secondly, "Downtown Redevelopment Areas" also promote interest and concern. These areas present problems with economic impacts involving redevelopment, retrofitting and gentrification. In addition, future "activity centers" have been identified. These centers will be at the intersection of Clark Road and Silver Star Road (SR 438) and at the intersection of the Blackwood Avenue extension and SR 50 (the location of the new fWest Orange Hospital) . 1. Interchange Impact Areas (IIAs) CI IIAs include the following locations: (a) the proposed interchange of the Northwest Beltway and Fuller's Cross Road; (b) the Northwest Beltway and Silver Star Road (SR 438) ; (c) the Northwest Beltway and SR 50; (d) the proposed interchange of the Florida Turnpike and Maguire Road; and (e) the interchange at SR 50 and the Western Extension of the East- II West Expressway (See Figure 12) . The land uses that take place in these areas could radically affect the City of Ocoee. In order to ensure orderly and efficient growth in these areas, the City will require the development of Interchange Development Plans. By January 1, 1992, land development regulations shall require any developments on greater than 10 acres to be consistent with the Interchange Development Plans. These Plans shall be developed by land owners and City staff to ensure the maximum and most feasible use of these areas. In addition, carrying capacities of these areas shall be determined through the transportation system. For each area, 38 C C existing trip generation data shall be developed. The City will set a limit on the additional trip generations permitted f, within these areas for the purpose of concurrency. At the time this carrying capacity has been met, additional development will not occur until the carrying capacity has been increased to allow for greater trip generations. These Plans shall also predict the amount of sanitary sewer and potable water that will be necessary to serve these areas. It is consistent with the Future Land Use Map that these areas include a mix of retail, general commercial, and light industrial. In the development of these areas, those plans that provide a sustainable development shall be approved. Those Plans that promote the location of regional headquarters, commerce, office and industrial parks shall be considered first and foremost. Developments that will not be permitted to occur in mass quantity include, but are not limited to, strip commercial centers and great trip generators, i.e. , corner markets, gas stations, and fast-food restaurants. To ensure efficient traffic flow, curb cuts shall be restricted in these areas. IIAs shall include all land within a one-quarter mile radius of the interchange area. If any portion of a parcel lies within the radius of the area, the owners of the parcel shall be required to participate in the development of the Interchange Development Plan. Those properties that have approved development plans as of the adoption of this plan, shall be exempt from the requirement to coordinate in the formulation of the Plan; however, they shall be encouraged to provide a development compatible with the adjacent uses proposed in the IIA. 2 . Downtown Redevelopment Areas (DRA) The objective of the DRA is to attract reinvestment in the downtown area of Ocoee. Through flexible land development regulations and codes, innovative designs, such as on-street parking, pedestrian ways, and mixed use scenarios will be promoted. Density allowances, among other incentives may be offered to developers to attract them to the area. Downtown redevelopment can benefit the City by increasing the tax base. Benefits to residents include increased property values, a unique visual and pedestrian experience, opportunities to live and work within the same community, and economic viability to those who own property within the area. Proposed development schemes should include visual landmarks and public areas; quality pedestrian areas; mixed uses, including retail, general commercial, restaurants, 39 C C condominiums, and professional offices and services. Within the DRA, pedestrian travel shall be encouraged by guiding the use and setbacks of buildings, and street and sidewalk design. Buildings should be close to the street and include retail and restaurant on the first floor. Sidewalks should include benches and landscaping. The street design should provide for well planned corridors that are aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian oriented. One method of underwriting redevelopment is tax increment financing. This method "freezes" the tax base within the renewal area when the project is officially established. Additional real property taxes generated as new buildings are constructed are not added to the general revenue of the City as is normally done, but are fed back into a special fund for the renewal are to be used for public improvements and neighborhood purposes that make the area more attractive for private investment and further renewal. Usually, a number of years or a limit on the total amount of taxes committed to the renewal area are specified at the beginning of the project. Initial start-up costs are met by the sale of municipal bonds to be repaid from the tax increment funds. Figure 13 identifies the area the City will consider for redevelopment activities. 3 . Activity Centers Activity Centers are those areas within the impact zone of major intersections. The Activity Centers identified by the City include the intersection of Clark Road and Silver Star Road the intersection of Clark Road and SR 50, among others (See Figure 14) . . Activity Centers will be the major nodes of employment within the City and will include residential and support commercial land uses. In order to create successful activity centers, policies must be included within this Comprehensive Plan to direct the Activity Center plan. Mixed land use and pedestrian as well as transit travel must be emphasized in the design of these Centers. To achieve this mixed use scenario, zoning codes will have to be restructured to allow for ancillary and compatible uses. Setback allowances and increased floor area ratios are two mechanisms that should be considered within the Activity Center plans. Specifically, these Activity Centers should be surrounded by several residential areas that contain a mix of housing types and densities. Retail, service and recreational facilities shall also be integrated within these areas. Non-residential areas shall establish the hub and the focus of the area. Retail and service establishments, including day care centers, 1 40 I L government buildings, and cultural centers should also be included within the Centers. Activity Centers should be within walking or bicycling distance to most residents. Sidewalks should be placed on both sides of the roadways and shall be connected to sidewalks within residential developments. All parking areas shall be heavily landscaped and setback allowances shall be given for any parking located behind buildings. L 1 C 41 I I IV. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES Goals, Objectives, and Policies are critical to the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and each Element. They are important policy statements that have been carefully considered by the Local Planning Agency and the City Commission. They represent an official statement of public policy that will be used to manage the future development of the City. A goal is a statement of purpose intended to define an ultimate end or condition. It reflects a direction of action, and is a subjective value statement. An objective is a specific, measurable action that can be taken toward achieving the goal. Goals may include more that one objective. That is, there may be more than one milestone necessary to achieve a goal. A policy is a specific activity or program that is conducted to achieve a goal. Policies include statements of priority for action and/or mandates for actions that will be taken to achieve the goal or objective. GOAL TO PROMOTE, PROTECT, AND IMPROVE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, GENERAL WELFARE, AND Y ESTABLISHINHETICS G OAN APPROPRIATE PATTERN OUGH THE PROVISION OF APPROPRIATE LAND USES B OF LAND USE AND DIRECTING DEVELOPMENT ACCORDINGLY. Objective ive 1 By 1992, the development of land shall be regulated to ensure that newly developed property and redeveloped property is compatible (meaning not in direct conflict with uses with regards to specific zoning categories, density and intensity) with adjacent uses and natural features and resources including topography, vegetation, and soil conditions. IPolicy 1. 1 The City shall review, through the development review process, all plans for development and redevelopment to ensure their compatibility with adjacent uses. Policy 1.2 The City shall regulate land development, through the adoption of land development regulations, to reduce, eliminate and/or prevent negative impacts related to noise, traffic, light, drainage, water quality, toxic and hazardous materials, 42 I litter, dust, visibility, and other factors. This shall be accomplished by establishing and enforcing specific environmental performance standards, consistent with state and/or federal standards and with the City's technical enforcement capabilities. Standards shall be based on the measurement of the undesirable characteristics at the property line of the land on which the generating use or activity is located and shall be based on performance levels deemed to prevent nuisance to surrounding properties. Policy 1.3 The City shall mitigate impacts by using regulations related to landscaping, setbacks, walls/fences, on-site parking, on- site traffic flow, lighting, signs, pedestrian access, vehicular access and other factors which enhance the health, safety, welfare and appearance of the built environment while providing an effective buffer between uses. Development regulations will be updated by 1992. Policy 1.4 The City shall allow mixed uses in the Special Strategy Areas (SSA's) which include the Downtown Area, the Interchange Impact Areas, and Activity Centers, and shall use strict design criteria to provide an attractive appearance and to offset negative impacts, i.e. , sprawling development patterns and the proliferation of strip commercial development. C Policy 1.5 The City shall require that industrial parks develop with internal traffic circulation and buffering from adjacent roads and properties. Policy 1.6 CThe City shall control strip commercial development through access limitations by restricting commercial land uses to intersections of arterials and non-residential collector roads, along designated arterial and collector roads and within Planned Unit Developments. This shall be accomplished Cthrough the land development regulations. Policy 1.7 The land development regulations shall promote innovative development in those cases where a public benefit can be realized and impacts can be offset by the development, as follows: 43 C o Utilize Planned Unit Development zoning to allow for mixed uses and unconventional development designs in those cases where the developer can demonstrate improved living environments, protection of natural resources or increased effectiveness of service delivery. 1 o Provide development standards that create useable open spaces in new developments. Policy 1.8 The City shall review and update the City's Land Development Regulations by 1992. These regulations shall reflect the goals, objectives, and policies contained in this Comprehensive Plan and shall be consistent with the Future Land Use Map.

PURPOSE AND FORMAT The City of Ocoee is attcmpting has ' im sd a : anwwwton atiii to maintain oideFfYraegfiftirgArdesiiiSii growth through a the comprehensive urban planning process. The Traffic Circulation Element of Ocoee's Comprehensive Plan is an element of this overall process. Pursuant to Chapter 163 , Florida Statutes, and Chapter 9J-5 Florida Administrative Code (FAC) , the aim 04 of the Traffic Circulation Element is to provide guidance in developing a transportation system which will adequately serve the travel needs of the area through the first decade of the twenty first century. The basis for planning Ocoee's traffic circulation system is the City's Future Land Use Element. The forecast of future land uses and locations of developments direct.., wag which existing roads need improvements and where new roads will be needed. Also, the Land Use Element governs the feasibility of providing efficient, effective mass transit services for general transportation. The goal is to insure that as the community grows, the transportation system will change e iggaaal to meet the new travel demands and will still bo remain consistent with the goals and objectives of the community Future Future}:land use within the community is somewhat X driven l plmo r e by the principal highway arterial system. For Ocoee, the East West Expressway, the Western Beltway, SR 50, SR 438, Maguire Road, and Clark Road are basic to the Land Use Element. Ocoee like other communities of Central Florida will have to cope with increased traffic congestion and the need for access routes to developments. Coupled with this need for adequate transportation is the issue of how and who will fund the construction of these roads. This Element addresses the questions of what is needed, why, where, when and who will pay for the transportation system changes that will be occurring. This element includes: (1) an introduction; (2) an inventory of the existing traffic circulation system, including the existing traffic circulation map; (3) an analysis of existing roadway deficiencies within the traffic circulation system; (4) an analysis of projected needs (5) schedule for roadway projects; and (6) a listing of goals, objectives, and policies. 1 I CPA-94-1-2 II.

(Figure 1) There are two major arterial roads that currently serve the City of Ocoee: W.B. McGee Highway (SR 50) and Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) . W.B. McGee Highway is a major arterial running from Florida's west coast to the east coast. Florida's Turnpike is a four-lane frccway matomma al t: that runs southeast from Wildwood, to Homestead and accesses Ocoee by an interchange with SR 50. The City is also served and bisected by Silver Star Road (SR 438) . Silver Star Road functions as a principal urban arterial route serving area-to-area and cross area travel and connects with other principal arterials. Bluford Avenue (SR 437) as a minor arterial, connects SR 50, SR 438, and Old Winter Garden Road. III. INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Existing Conditions 2 I CPA-94-1-2 NOUPPEWiVaETI#I1 Tthe City's roads were inventoried for EAttkevafaes; paliemeht widths, functional classification, and number of lanes. The purpose of this task was two fold. One was to assess current traffic operating conditions. The other was to develop a computer based data file for developing a eit$0 model to emulate existing traffic flow on the City's seaKetr". This model could then be used to model future traffic flow given future land uses. Iggi*AggaggAppawo rwr:MC4c3WKOW744.41g4gretowiwite*iydrien' transportatioi impact fee system. ituto04ialiti B.

In turn, the systems are distinguished a:aa»o-}' b ,j\Wp\v}gh\Ui�,VJ.V7NTX by their general functions and levels of importance in serving the public. Functional classification aids in: a. determining the relative importance of the roads, b. establishing the basis for levels of service and design standards, c. evaluating deficiencies and needs, d. establishing improvement priorities, e. selecting responsibility for the roads, and f. determining funding and financing policies. The roads within the Study Area were placed in four classes. 1. Freeways/Expressways provide for the rapid and efficient movement of large volumes of through traffic having long trip lengths between areas and across the urban area. Access is provided by interchanges. Currently, tho Florida Turnpike is the only cxprcz-zwcy located in the otudy arca. 2 . Arterial roads provide movement across areas for relatively large numbers of vehicles. This type of road has numerous at-grade intersections with access provided to adjacent lands. This functional classification E. includes primary state highways and major urban arterial highways. Speed limits for arterial roadways range from 30 mph to 55 mph. There are several arterial roads within the Ocoee Study Area. These include SR 50, Kissimmee Avenue, Silver Star Road, Ocoee-Apopka Road, Clarcona-Ocoee Road, and Apopka-Vineland Road. 3 . Collector Roads provide access to abutting property as well as providing mobility between arterial and local streets. Within the study area, there are several collectors such as White Road (Orlando Avenue) , Story Road, Wurst Road, A.D. Mims Road, Hackney Prairie Road, 1 5 Lakewood Avenue, Good Homes Road, McCormick Road, and East Crown Point Road. L I I I 6 I E I ..c.....c.... t— _... ..._. ,.....,. . :... ... • C _ .

Because these roadways have little access control and lower travel speeds, they lack the capacity of the higher classifications. The majority of roadways within the Study Area are local roads of only local interest. Local roadways have speed limits between 25 mph to 40 mph. C. Road Inventory A road inventory was made for the purpose•.r ofy..having•w data Y to permit evaluating street adequacy evaluation of road<� apacity when compared to standard requirements:" AlY" arterial and collector roads within the study area were inventoried for the following: o Curbs, o Sidewalks, o Shoulders, o Type pavement (surface) , and o Number of lanes (Figure 3) Appendix A contains a summary of the road physical characteristics inventory. Also, each intersection under traffic signal or stop sign control was inventoried for geometric layout. Eight intersections operate under signal control. Two of these signals have pedestrian features. All other intersections inventoried have stop sign control. D. Traffic Volume Counts Traffic volume counts were made for • -G ` road sections. These were 24-hour automatic traffic recorder counts with volumes accumulated by 15-minute increments.

With these future traffic volumes, the adequacy of the proposed road circulation element was evaluated against service standards and the Goals and Objectives. After a master road plan was developed, improvements and priorities were established. These ranked projects were then segregated into five year increments.

A. Programmed Improvements The 1991-1996 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Orlando Urban Area documents planned improvements to the areas transportation system through fiscal year 1996. The TIP contains both federal and non-federally funded projects in three different model elements: highway, airport, and transit. Figure 6 shows and Tables 10 and 11 lists the programmed projects in the Ocoee area. Two major freeways (the Western Bypass and the East-West Ex- pressway) are currently being designed by the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) . about the City. Both freeways have interchanges connecting•,h•with roads serving Ocoee. These freeways are expected to a ante t e 'p e t al tog foster increased growth in and about- the- City. on the east side of Ocoee is the planned extension of Clark Road from SR 50 to Clarcona-Ocoee Road. B. Modeling Process The modeling process consisted of three phases: 1. Develop and calibrate a model of existing conditions. 2 . Project future travel desires and identify areas of de- ficiency. 3 . Identify and test various improvement scenarios. C. Planning Data Four planning variables (population, employment, median income and dwelling units) were used for the study area (Table 12) . This data for the 1985 base year and 2005 horizon year came from the 1980 - 2005 Orange County Statistical Data published by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, and the City of Ocoee's Future Land Use Element. 24 I I (::::1 i.....74.• - •sommes sm.

Population Between 1985 and the year 2005, the study area population is expected to increase by approximately 68 percent. Population err projections and estimates were based on 1980 Census data. E. Dwelling Units The principle resource for housing unit projections was the Future Land Use Element. Continued strong suburban growth is reflected in the population and dwelling unit statistics. F. Median Income Median family income for the base year came from the 1980 Census. All estimates and projections of income were in terms of 1979 dollars. To obtain future income by zone, area wide income was adjusted for inflation and re-distributed on expected income level shifts within the study area. For the purposes of traffic modeling, employment data is noted by retail and non-retail only (Tables 13 and 14) . The standardized Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook (1987)=>ri 9 3 ratios between land use and employment were determined -for-those land uses illustrated on the Future Land Use Map. After ratios were applied for each of the land use types, trip ends were determined and categori- zed for retail and non-retail employment. G. Network Preparation During the first phase, a network was developed which describes the existing roads in the study area. The Ocoee study area was divided into 28 traffic zones (Figure 7) . Consistency was maintained with the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUATS) traffic analysis zonal structure. Planning data were coded to these zones and used in the development of the network. Appendix F contains a description of the models employed in generating future vehicular traffic on Ocoee's road system. 29 I I: • TAULE 13 I: OCOEE TEAR 1935 ZONAL SOCIOECONOMIC DATA• I: aaaa IMO ZONE POPULATION SF DU MF DU TOT DU RES EMP ATT EMP TOT EMP RET EMP SCM 1.12 MOT MOT MED.

Facility speed and capacities were taken from existing roadway inventory and utilizing both Highway Capacity Manual values and the ECFRPC System Inventory Surveillance. With traffic zones overlaying a base map, a link-node network was defined for the City. The major criteria for the facility type selection of the network were: o The Functional Classification System, o Street Volumes greater than 100 vehicles per day, and o General knowledge of street use. Once the network had been coded into the computer, it was maw chcckcd to insure the integrity of the assignment. A gravity model was used to distribute productions and attractions of each zone to develop a trip table. These trips are then assigned to the network and volumes were posted on a map. Model volumes were compared to actual road counts to determine the accuracy of the model. The model was then calibrated to match the existing road counts. H. Lona Range Analysis Four year 2005 traffic assignments were produced in developing the long range transportation plan. The existing network was updated to include projects in the five year work program. This was the base plus committed highway network. The year 2005 assignment was run twice, once to determine average trip lengths and once to determine area deficiencies. The assignments generated through this phase did not require calibration. Deficiencies (links with V/C ratios greater than 1. 10) were identified (Table 15) . Two additional year 2005 traffic assignments were performed. The third assignment contained the base plus committed network as well as: o Clark Road o Hackney Prairie Road o Bowness Road o Maguire Road The final future traffic assignment included improvements to: McKey Street, Franklin Street, Fullers Cross Road, Marshall Farms Road and W.B.

The recommendations for improvements to the arterial and collector street systems are directed primarily toward system continuity and increased capacity. New construction is expected to provide greater accessibility between portions of residential and commercial development within the area (Figure 1 8, Table 16) . V. IMPLEMENTATION OF ROADWAY PROJECTS The City of Ocoee has determined and recognized that growth will necessitate road network improvements and make it necessary to regulate new development in order to maintain a transportation network at an acceptable level of service so as to maintain the quality of life desired by the community. In order to finance the improvements, several methods of financing will be used. One will require new development to pay an "Impact Fee" which does not exceed a pro rata share of the reasonably anticipated expansion costs of new roads and related facilities. Also, new developments will be responsible for near site and off site road improvements and traffic operation features needed for proper traffic service with no credit toward impact fees. Providing and regulating roads and related facilities to make them more safe and efficient, in coordination with a plan for the control of traffic is the recognized proprietary power of the City of Ocoee through Section 166. 021, Florida Statutes, and is in the best interests of the public's health, safety, and welfare. A. Cost The projected total cost to the City and developers in 1-484x dollars of implementing the recommended improvements it4i'fnwi::n•]i over a 20 year period is approximately $25, 090, 000. 0W0000 Additionally, roadway improvements by FDOT and Orange County totals $18,450, 000. , for a total improvements program of $43, 540,000. 85O,O l} ; Estimated costs were based on an analysis of the improvements recommended for each facility. This estimate includes the 35 CPA-94-1-2 cost of actual construction, including engineering and the cost of additional right-of-way. 36 I _�... 4.7) / n I 4,200 • 4 800 D City Of Ocoee t •�'"" •• i onnp.

Recommended Stage Development On the basis of need route continuity and a reasonably uniform rate of expenditure, the improvements have been divided into priorities for implementation. Construction costs and rankings of the recommended improvements will require review and periodic modification to keep in step with actual changes in land use and traffic demands as well as the availability of anticipated revenues (Table 17) . C. Project Funding Once the land use assumptions and LOS standards were established for the City the next step was to establish an impact fee schedule. Calculations for impact fees were based upon the Five Year Transportation Impact Assessment Program prepared by the Orange County Office of Capital Facilities Development. The net impact fee calculations were adjusted by 1988 actual construction costs (including engineering) and required right-of-way acquisition costs. The construction of roadway improvements is by far, one of the City's largest fiscal challenges. As reported in the "Analysis of Projected Needs" section of this element, an estimated $43,540, 000 of roadway improvements must be constructed by the City, developers, FDOT, and Orange County in order to maintain adequate LOS standards. This is appropriate since FDOT and Orange County have x financial responsibility for County roads and State highway system roads which are located within the City of Ocoee. The City has several finance options available to fund its portion of local improvements. Some of this revenue sources include special assessment fees, revenue bonds, and impact fees. The City may also impose special assessments upon properties that directly benefit from the improvements. The City of Ocoee has opted to finance the improvements to local roads by impact fees. Using Ocoee's current Ordinance Fee Schedule and the forecasted changes in land development, $11, 100, 000 of revenue will be generated. Any shortfall between the revenue to be collected under the City's ordinance and the City's total roadway revenue needs will have to be generated from developer near site and off site improvements or from other currently undetermined 40 E I L sources. The proposed land use acreages, Table 8 in the Future Land Use Element, were used to project revenues. 41 I L L • i .

Non-Motorized Transportation The Recreation and Open Space Element covers the planned bicycle system. But additionally all new road and roadway upgrading projects shall provide for experienced bicyclist, that is wider outside travel lanes on multi-lane roads and a two-foot paved shoulder on two-lane rural roads. Sidewalks will be included on Ocoee and developer built roads. Within mixed use developments, Ocoee will emphasize designs to promote walking and use of non-motorized vehicles, including bicycle racks. As Ocoee's population and land use density increases, Ocoee expects the Tri-County Transit System to be expanded to include regular daily operations and special service for the transit dependent population. The land use plan provides for Ocoee to be developed as a suburban residential community. As such, the principal means of travel will be the private automobile unless some unusual event occurs. Ocoee encourages the FDOT to locate and construct park-n-ride lots near the Expressway interchanges. When warranted, Ocoee will work with Shopping Center operators to allocate parking spaces for carpool parkers. These will usually be the overflow spaces farthest from the shopping areas. 44 CPA-94-1-2 c. minimizing conflicts between motor vehicle and pedestrian.

INTRODUCTION Orange County has become one of the most attractive areas in the United States for those who seek warmth, sunshine, and abundant recreational opportunities. As one of Orange County's prime municipalities, the City of Ocoee is experiencing rapid growth. The City's function as a bedroom community for the Greater Orlando Area SMSA and its location amongst rolling hills and pristine lakes of the Mt. Dora Ridge, ensures the most attractive and readily accessible environment for recreational activities. Boating is a popular sport in the area due to the many lakes in the area. Fishing is also very popular. With the growth in population in the City in the last decade, the demand for greater recreational opportunities and the need to protect valuable open space resource is becoming an important concern among residents. The City of Ocoee, along with other governmental agencies, shares in the responsibility of providing recreational opportunities and protecting open space resources. This element of the Comprehensive Plan assesses current opportunities, analyzes future needs and contains goals, objectives, and policies statements which shall be used by the City to further the system of public and private recreation and open space sites available to the public. Park, recreation and open space planning incorporates a spectrum of interests, including growth and fiscal management, facility and program planning, park themes, architectural design standards, and landscape designs. The City must continue to exercise a leadership role in coordinating the effective utilization of all recreation resources within its boundaries. Greater coordination and cooperation must be established among the multiplicity of public and private recreation suppliers in and around the area to maximize the total outdoor recreation effort and direct it most effectively and efficiently. Figure 15 is the location map of the City. (All Figures are found in Appendix A) . 1I II. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT REQUIREMENT FOR DATA ANALYSIS The purpose of the Recreation and Open Space Element is to plan for a system of parks and private and public recreational facilities that are readily accessible to all residents within the community. This analysis identifies existing public and private recreation sites and open spaces available to the public. For each of the identified sites, types of use will be identified, such as activity-based or resource-based, and types of recreational facilities that are provided in each of these areas will also be inventoried. Also, future needs for additional parks and recreation facilities and open space will be addressed based on projected population, adequacy of existing structures and equipment, and their availability. In keeping with the requirements of 9J-5. 014, Florida Administrative Code, the Recreation and Open Space Element is structured according to the following format: 1. Existing recreational and open space facilities; 2 . Recreation and open space analysis; and 3 . Recreation and open space Goals, Objectives, and Policies. III. INVENTORY: EXISTING RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES A. Existing Recreation Facilities 1. Resource-Based and User-Oriented Sites and Facilities Outdoor recreation, broadly defined, is any leisure activity conducted outdoors. Typically, the vast field of outdoor recreation is subdivided through the use of the "resource- based" and "user-oriented" distinctions as defined in Outdoor Recreation in Florida. 1987. User-oriented types of outdoor recreation are those which can be provided almost anywhere for the convenience of the user. The user-oriented category is the much broader category and includes such activities as tennis, baseball, soccer, and playgrounds. Resource-based recreation differs from the user-oriented recreation in that it is dependent on some particular element or combination of elements in the natural environment. It involves both active and passive types of activities and tends to be less formalized and program oriented. Resource-based outdoor recreation can be grouped into nine general categories, as described below: 2 I C Boating Bicycle riding Camping Nature study Fishing Picnicking Hiking Freshwater swimming and Visiting Archeological/Historical sites. User-oriented outdoor recreation is largely a local government responsibility, although assistance is available to the extent possible, through technical assistance and financial support in meeting the resource and facility needs for user-oriented types of outdoor recreation. Types of financial assistance available to local governments will be discussed in the plan implementation section of this Element. The potential array of user-oriented outdoor recreation is virtually limitless. The most common activities include: Golf Racquetball Tennis Shuffleboard Baseball/softball Basketball Football/soccer Outdoor swimming pool use User-oriented activities, unlike resource-based activities, do not lend themselves to description in terms of variations in the outdoor setting. They are primarily structured, rule- oriented, and in many instances, conducted as part of a local recreation program under the supervision of trained staff. The location of these facilities, although not dependent upon any natural resource setting should be fully accessible and convenient to the users for whom a demonstrated need exists. 2. Existing Recreational Facilities: Resource-Based Recreation The City of Ocoee is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, blessed by its location on the many lakes in the area. The boat ramps and open spaces offer such resource-based activities as boating, fishing, swimming, and wildlife observation. 3 . Existing Recreation Facilities: User-Oriented Facilities and Community-Sponsored Activities There are also activity-based recreation sites and facilities in the City. The focal points of the community are the Community Center and Youth Center Complex where programs are provided by the recreation department. The Center is used for public meetings, weddings, and receptions. The Parks Department also provides numerous activities at the Youth Center Complex. For a description of and the location of all the City's parks, see Table 4 1 3 I CPA 94-1-1 " 4. Recreation Facilities " "���' �� :v:;.:........ Level of Service Standards a. Recreation Site Guidelines As stated in Chapter 9J-5. 014, FAC, the purpose of the Recreation and Open Space Element is to plan for a comprehensive system of public and private recreation and open space sites which are available to the public. In order to plan for existing and future recreation needs, an inventory of recreation and open space lands within the City was updated and a population-based recreation Standard viairine was developed by the City. Because of the overlap between .lie two classifications, resource-based and user-oriented, the sites and facilities are categorized by physical size. These population-based otandardo s }msswere applied to the City's present and projected.Vpopulations to identify park differences by type such as mini-parks, neighborhood and community parks and special purpose facilities. Site guidelines are a set of general criteria for determining the specific types and amounts of park lands necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of local communities. The criteria define the acreage, facility type and service area requirements for various types of community recreation sites and areas. These guidelines have been modified by the City to meet the specific recreation needs of the community (see Table 1) . Community resources were divided into two classifications: special-use and parkland areas. Both types have special functions, but they .can be combined at recreation areas to provide a wider variety of outdoor recreation opportunities. Special-use areas and facilities are primarily the user- oriented activities,_ such as recreation complexes. 1 4 I E CPA 94-1-1 TABLE 1 IRECREATION FACILITIES SITE GUIDELINES POPULATION SERVICE ACREAGE .

Facility Stsndarda OUVUZIE48 for Specific Activities In order to adequately assess the recreational needs of a community, one should not only look at the need for different types of facilities, but also the need for specific activities provided for within each facility. The City of Ocoee developed a set of recreation and open space ctandarda ?1 e €'': t: based on those developed by the Florida Recreation aAaniirks Association and the National Recreation and Parks Association.

Recreation for All Age Groups All parks and recreational facilities are not used equally by the same groups of people. Persons of different age groups prefer different types of recreation and often feel more comfortable associating with members of their own age group. Children usually prefer to play active games and team sports with other children; senior citizens enjoy dancing, arts and craft, passive recreational pursuits, etc. The City of Ocoee and the City Recreation Department have recognized the divergence among different age groups in their preferences for recreational activities, time of facility use and location of facilities. The resource-based parks, while providing separate areas for recreation activities, are designed for all age groups to enjoy. Table 4 also indicates the age groups served by each park and facility. 7. Recreation and the Business Community While the City has undertaken to provide residents and visitors with recreational opportunities, the business community also plays a part. The little league effort is heavily sponsored by the business community. In addition, the business community sponsors numerous community events. 8. Recreation for Special Population Groups There are special population groups served by the City. Handicapped parking facilities are provided at a number of the municipal parks and facilities. Invaddition, most of the programs offered by the Recreation Department are available for the handicapped, the elderly, and the very young. Planning for future recreational facilities and parks should take into account the special barrier-free accessibility needs of the handicapped and the elderly. Accessibility requirements include ramps in addition to stairs; railings for senior citizens, the handicapped and the young to grasp; restroom facilities designed to provide access to the handicapped and other facilities constructed to allow safe use by all. B. Existing Open Space Existing open space will be defined in this plan per Chapter 9J-5 as "Undeveloped lands that are suitable for passive recreation or conservation and available to the public. " Existing open spaces in the City were inventoried according to function: passive recreation, conservation, or corridor open space. 11 C Ei, CPA 94-1-1 The need to preserve open space in the City of Ocoee is critical. The Land Development Regulations adopted subsequent to this plan should include standards ensuring the reservation of open space areasin future developments and redevelopments. Just as it is important to preserve open space in non- residential areas, it is important that residential subdivisions incorporate open space in their design features. Open space in residential settings enhances layout and design, provides buffering between conflicting uses and accents natural amenities present on site. Open space can also ensure privacy, provide open space for trees and other landscaping to grow, provide play space for children, and where possible, a view of the lakes for motorists. 1. Recreation Open Space The primary role of passive recreational lands is to provide resource-based recreation. This classification overlaps the park designation and includes parks that were established for the protection of historic and/or natural resources or aesthetic beauty. There are approximately 46,4 1W4 acres of recreation open space in the City. Figure 30 shows the location and extent of recreation open space. 2. Conservation Open Space Lands not suitable for development due to their environmental importance are classified as conservation open space. These areas include lakes, rivers, wetlands, floodplains, areas dedicated to future resource development, and areas classified as "Conservation" on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Ocoee. There are approximately 646. 6 acres of conservation open space in the City. 3 . Corridor Open Space Corridor open spaces are areas through which people travel but which are also designed for aesthetic enjoyment and leisure. These corridors can provide a linkage between recreation areas and residential areas or commercial areas. Open space areas in the midst of developed urban settings help define urban form and are a basic element of quality land use patterns. The provision of open space in such instances breaks up the harsh "street-scape" .and offers aesthetic relief to the urban resident. When properly utilized in developing areas, open space resources render a more appealing view, often helping to attract new residents and customers. In general, open space in non-residential settings is a factor in the overall 12 I • attractiveness of the community as a whole and often makes the difference in attracting new residents to the community. Corridor open space shall be defined in this Element as thirty percent of the rights-of-way within the City. Therefore, in 1990, there were 2, 483 .2 acres within the rights-of-way. Of that, thirty percent, or 745 acres shall be considered corridor open space. C. Natural Reservations Chapter 9J-5. 003 (54) , FAC, defines natural reservations as those areas designated for conservation purposes, and operated by a federal, state, regional, or local government or non- profit agency. These areas include national and state parks, lands purchased under the Save Our Coast, Conservation and Recreation Lands, or Save Our Rivers programs. Also included are sanctuaries, preserves, monuments, archaeological and historic sites, wildlife management areas, National Seashores, and Outstanding Florida Waters. Presently, the only Natural Reservations that exist in the City are historic sites. There are 13 historic sites in the City. Figure 8 identifies the approximate location of these sites. o The Ocoee Christian Church was built in 1891 and is the oldest Christian Church in continuous use in the State of Florida. The architectural design is gothic. The bell was made in London, England and the stain glass window was made in Belgium. o The Withers-Maguire House was constructed in 1888. In 1984, the house was purchased by the City of Ocoee and the following year Resolution No. 85-4 recognized the Ocoee Historical Commission as an official body designated by the Board of City Commissioners to be responsible for making recommendations for the restoration of the Withers-Maguire House. o The Mr. and Mrs. James Meeks House was built in the 1890s. o The Blakely-Stoutenburgh House was built in the early 1900s. o The Tavares and Gulf Railroad depot was built in 1914. The depot continued service until 1960. Presently, it serves as a meeting place for the Ocoee Lions Club. o The Bank of Ocoee was built in 1919. Decorative blocks were added to the front wall during the 1960s. The front doors were paned with fine old beveled glass. Plaster, 13 C • CPA 94-1-1 stucco, paneling, and dropped ceilings have been added recently. In the fall •of 1985, the decorative blocks were covered with wood siding. o Dr. Scott's office on east McKey Street. It is currently being used as law offices. o The Pound's House was built in 1887. The Pound's granddaughter plans to renovate the house. o The Ocoee Women's Club was built in 1938 in art deco style. o The Collison-Ocoee Funeral Home was built in the 1920s. o Dr.. Starke's Fishing Camp o Maine Street IV. ANALYSIS A. Current Needs for Recreation Facilities Current needs for recreation facilities were determined by using population-based recreation otandard3 `r : ` ' developed by the City using the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) otandard3 opaliwaa as a guide. These are presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3 . For Tables 2 and 3, median values are used. These standards were used to calculate current recreation needs, i.e. , number of recreational facilities required to provide a park system meeting City stsndard3 pia-41160 by use of the following formula: o Current Mini-Park = Existing 1990 population (14 .850) Park Needs Population served by a single mini- park approximately 3 , 000* o Current Neighborhood = Existing 1990 population (14 .850) Park Needs Population served by a single neighborhood park approximately 7,500* 14 I CPA 94-1-1 o Current Community = Existing 1990 population (14.850) Park Needs Population served by a single community park approximately 10, 000* o Special Purpose = Existing 1990 population (14 , 850) Facilities Population served by a single special purpose facility approximately 10, 000 The amount of facilities necessary to meet City otandardo :C ��V?fx.VV\V sjVT ! s at current population levels were then compared with actual amounts of existing facilities as inventoried in Table 4.

THE PLAN A. Parks and Recreation Facilities The analysis for projected needs for park facilities indicates the following: two mini-parks will be needed; by 2000 an additional mini-park, and community park; and by 2005, two mini-parks, and a neighborhood park (mini parks _shall include privatcly rivatcly ewncd facilitic3 re _ a i�nt`s s'{located in residential developments that are..`.for"'t2 e''use'"of"'only those residents within those developments) . The needs for specific activities provided for within these facilities are outlined in Table 8. The analysis of needed recreational activities identifies many needs through the year 2005. However, it must be remembered that this is a 15 year planning period. In addition, the City of Ocoee will not have to bear the burden alone. In cooperation with Orange County, the City's needs may be realized with a minimum of cost. Also, it is important to remember that state and federal governments may provide grant monies for developing unique recreational areas. B. An Ongoing Commitment to Access 1. Parking Access to recreational facilities is adequately provided at the City's recreation sites. Marked bike routes linking recreational areas throughout the City shall be considered to provide recreational opportunity and a transportation E / alternative. 2. Access for Special Population Groups Special groups have particular access problems. In planning for a new park or in the maintenance of existing facilities, it is important to continue to address access needs. Designated handicapped parking and the elimination of architectural barriers in existing recreation facilities, enable these individuals to enjoy the recreational opportunities within the City. As mentioned previously, the City provides access for special population groups. 3 . Bike Paths Bicycling provides a means of economical transportation, healthful exercise, energy conservation, and a means of seeking out the scenic, educational, and spiritual values of the outdoors (DNR, 1987) . Bicycle riding rates second in . 21 I • CPA 94-1-1 demand among outdoor recreation activities. Enormous needs for bicycle paths are projected for Florida in the future (DNR, 1987) . As mentioned previously, a system of designated and properly marked bike paths would offer bicyclists pleasant scenic experiences and would eliminate a recreational deficiency. The placement of routes could safely link recreational and shopping areas and maximize the participants enjoyment of the surrounding natural resources. The City of Ocoee is actively involved in the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, Metropolitan Planning Organization, Bicycle Advisory Committee. In addition, the City has passed a resolution in support of the Rails . to Trails program in Orange County. C. Increasing Recreational Opportunities Provided by the Business Community The business community can play a major role in providing recreation and leisure opportunities to residents and visitors alike. Recreation facilities and opportunities provided by the business community range from private for-profit enterprises, such as restaurants and shopping opportunities, to the quasi-public (non-profit) programs of churches, youth organizations, and clubs. To ensure the support of the business community, certain incentives can be employed by the City. They include, but are not limited to: ensuring that adequate transportation access is provided; ensuring that commercial establishments which provide goods and services which complement the recreational opportunity are close by; and developing a mutually beneficial relationship between the business community and the City of Ocoee through the scheduling of meetings to discuss issues, problems, and potential community recreation projects. D. The Plan for Open Space 1. Recreation Open Space Currently there are 46,4 IA acres in the City dedicated to recreation open space. These areas shall be protected from development and adequately maintained. In the future, acquisition of vacant lands shall be considered as a method to reduce urban build up and provide open space to a rapidly increasing population. For funding sources, see the Plan Implementation Section of this Element. 22 • I E . I . . .

Policy 1.5.5 The City shall include funds for the acquisition, development, or maintenance of City recreation sites in its Capital Improvements Program. VII. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION A. Funding Alternatives The City of Ocoee's list of needed recreational facilities will never be realized unless some means are found to finance the cost of acquisition, development, and maintenance. The funds needed will, of course, depend on the level of service desired by the public. Funds spent for recreation facilities may come at the expense of some other governmental service. Obviously, recreation ideas which demonstrate a second benefit will have the greatest chance of being funded. The following is a group of funding alternatives which are most often used by local governments for recreation projects. 1. Short-Term Financing a. The City of Ocoee Recreational Parks Facilities Impact Fee The Recreational Parks Facilities, Ordinance Number 89-14, was passed June 20, 1989 and amended June 19, 1990. The Ordinance was based on the following conditions which exist in the City: 1. the present recreational facilities within the City are operating at near full capacity; 2. it has been determined that the recreational system must be expanded to serve the rapid influx of new developments within the City; 3 . the City has found it necessary to provide additional facilities to accommodate this new growth and in addition, have these improvements in place or in the final planning stages concurrent 29 E with the impacts of the new developments pursuant to Chapter 163, FS and Rule 9J-5, FAC; 4. the City desires to establish an equitable way for making these new capital improvements meet the demands of new development; and }' 5. needs were identified in this Element for the City's Comprehensive Plan which need to be met. The intent of the Ordinance is to address the need for additional capital funds to support the orderly expansion of the City's recreational facilities. It establishes a fee for each new dwelling unit that will be collected prior to the issuance of a building permit. It sets the district boundaries and specifies fee schedules within each of those districts. It requires an annual review of the fee structure to ensure that the system is functioning adequately. It provides credits to those who have vested rights, such as those who have development agreements that were signed prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. It provides for the establishment of a Trust Fund for all fees collected. It ensures that the fees collected will be used solely for the use intended. And finally, it repeals Ordinance Number 519 which set a 5% recreational dedication required of developments. In order to accurately assess developments for the impacts each development places on the City's recreation system, it was necessary to divide the City into three planning districts. After these districts were geographical identified, it was necessary to project dwelling unit totals for each district through the year 1995. Projections used in the study were derived from an East Central Florida Regional Planning Council . study of dwelling unit and population projections through the year 2010 with modifications based on new developments proposed for the City. Following the identification of the districts and the dwelling unit projections, the locations of existing parks were identified in order to identify where future improvements should occur. After assigning the improvements to a respective district, costs were approximated and inflated to 1995 dollars (using a 5% inflation factor for 6 years) . To derive the impact fee assessment for each dwelling unit within each district, the total cost of improvements within each district was divided by the projected dwelling units within each of the districts. For those improvements that would benefit the entire community, known as "Community Parks, " the total cost of community projects was divided by the total number of projected dwelling units for the City. Ordinance Number 89-14 and Ordinance 90-15 are provided in Appendix B. 30 I a. Pay-As-You-Go This type of financing refers to the accumulation of funds before the acquisition or development can actually take place. These funds may be acquired through a variety of revenue- producing sources, usually a local government's general revenue fund. An important disincentive to pay-as-you-go financing is that as the . necessary capital is being accumulated, the property's purchase price may rise and offset the initial advantage of not borrowing the necessary capital to avoid paying interest charges. Furthermore, when dealing with land to be preserved as open space, there is the added danger that it may be developed before the necessary funds are acquired. For these reasons, a "borrow now, pay later" financial program may be a more correct alternative to financing recreation and open space plans. b. Ad Valorem Taxation Ad Valorem (according to value) , taxes are levied against real property based on a portion of its assessed value and ah established millage rate. Local units of government wishing to acquire financing for the implementation of their recreation and open space plans may establish a specific millage rate to obtain additional revenues for such purposes. c. Grants-in-Aid The State of Florida and the federal government both make Grants-in-Aid available to local governments for a variety of public purposes. One such example is the acquisition and development of open space and parkland. The most popular grant source utilized for this purpose is the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) . This fund has been in existence since 1965 and is administered through the United States Department of the Interior, Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS) . This agency makes grants from the LWCF to states, and through them to political subdivisions, such as local governments. These grants are to be used for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Prime importance is attached to projects located in areas shown to have high relative need. Projects must be available for use by the general public; development of basic rather that elaborate facilities is favored; and projects furnishing a broad range of outdoor recreation uses and experiences are preferred. Two other Grants-in-Aid available to the City are both funded by the State of Florida through the Department of Natural Resources and adhere basically to the same criteria as LWCF. These grants are the Florida Recreation Development Assistance 31 I • Program (FRDAP) and the Florida Boating Improvements Program (FBIP) . In addition, funds are available to local governments through the Community Services Trust Fund, the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid Program, and the Small Cities Program administered by the Department of Community Affairs. 2 . Long-Term Financing a. General Obligation Bonds General obligation bonds are used when it is necessary to borrow money to finance the operations of government. Such bonds permit local governments to smooth out fluctuations in their budgeting cycle from year-to-year by allowing them to spend borrowed capital for established needs and pay back these funds, plus interest, at a later date. General obligation bonds are usually retired through the collection of ad valorem taxes levied against the real property owned by a jurisdiction's citizens. Finally, this bonding power is frequently used to implement recreation and open space plans because such projects seldom produce sufficient revenues to qualify for revenue bonds. b. Gifts and Donations Gifts and donations may significantly aid in the development of parks and open space areas. Although the number of gifts/donations to the City has not been large, the opportunity to receive this type of financial support will not be overlooked. c. Regulation Open space areas can be acquired and preserved through the regulatory powers which are almost exclusively exercised by the City. Such powers or tools are some of the most basic and effective controls on the quality of the environment in terms of guiding the pattern and design of urban development. Regulatory powers which outline how a particular tract of property may be used do not normally involve compensation to landowners. An example of such power, whose use will be considered, is outlined below. d. Mandatory Dedication Zoning use ordinances and site plan review procedures affect the preservation of open space areas by regulating how urban developments are planned and what improvements are to be made. City officials may require developers to dedicate a portion of their proposed development for permanent open space areas 32 w (mandatory dedication requirements are usually based on a project's dwelling units, projected population, or a fixed percent of land required under said development) . They are predicated on the grounds' that each subdivision shall provide public open space acreage in relation to the demand to be generated by the development's residents. In recent years, federal and state courts have upheld the legality of mandatory dedication ordinances on numerous occasions. In those cases where dedication ordinances have been declared illegal, it has usually been because the ordinance was being applied in what the courts felt to be an arbitrary manner, or when it was not directly beneficial to the residents living in the affected area. For these reasons, dedication ordinances shall stipulate the amount of land to be dedicated and a procedure for receiving cash in lieu thereof. Furthermore, the location of future parks and open spaces to be so acquired shall be identified in an adopted plan so the dedication requirements are not arbitrarily applied. This last stipulation shall prevent developers from dedicating land not properly suited for parks and open space areas. • • 1 33 I e. Bonus or Incentive Zoning Bonus or incentive zoning allows developers to exceed limitations, usually height or density limitations, imposed by conventional zoning in exchange for developer supplied amenities or concessions. VIII. STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY STATEMENT Chapter 9J-5, FAC, requires that the Comprehensive Plan be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes) as adopted by the Florida Legislature in 1985. Chapter 163.3177 (10a) defines consistency to mean that the Plan is compatible with and furthers the appropriate regional policy plan and the State Comprehensive Plan. "Compatible with" means that the local plan is not in conflict with the State Comprehensive Plan or appropriate regional policy plan. The term "furthers" means to take action in the direction of realizing goals or policies of the state of regional plan. The City of Ocoee may choose which State goals and policies are applicable. This Element represents the actions which the City will take to be compatible with and further the goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP) . IX. REGIONAL POLICY PLAN CONSISTENCY STATEMENT Chapter 9J-5, FAC, requires that the Comprehensive Plan be consistent with the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan as adopted by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council in 1987. Chapter 163 .3177 (l0a) defines consistency to mean that the Plan is compatible with and furthers the appropriate regional policy plan and the State Comprehensive Plan. "Compatible with" means that the local plan is not in conflict with the State Comprehensive Plan or appropriate regional policy plan. The term "furthers" means to take action in the direction of realizing goals or policies of the state of regional plan. The City of Ocoee may choose which Regional goals and policies are applicable. This Element represents the actions which the City of Ocoee will take to be compatible with and further the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan. 34 •I BIBLIOGRAPHY City of St. Petersburg Beach, Draft Recreation and Open Space Element, 1988 East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan, July 1987. , Council Members' Handbook, January 1988. , Local Planner's Guide to the Regional Policy Plan, September, 1989.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT I. PURPOSE AND FORMAT In 1985, the Florida Legislature mandated that local governments plan for the availability of public facilities and services to support development concurrent with the impacts of such development. Consequently, the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of local comprehensive plans has become the "cornerstone" for achieving this mandate. Specifically, the purpose of the CIE is to: (1) evaluate the need for public facilities in support of the Future Land Use Element; (2) estimate the costs of improvements for which the local government has fiscal responsibility; (3) analyze the fiscal capability of the local government to finance and construct improvements; and (4) adopt financial policies to guide the finding and construction of improvements. The Capital Improvements Element differs from the City's capital improvements program as its scope is limited to only those capital improvements derived from the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. In short, the CIE may be used to demonstrate the economic feasibility of the Comprehensive Plan. It focuses on the capital outlay required to meet existing deficiencies and to maintain adopted level of service standards planned for public facilities in the plan. The content of this element includes: (1) an inventory of capital improvement needs, financial resources, and local policies and practices; (2) a fiscal assessment of revenues and expenditures; (3) a discussion of issues and recommendations; (4) a listing goals, objectives, and policies; (5) a section detailing implementation, including a 5-year schedule of capital improvements; and (6) a section describing monitoring and evaluation strategies. II. INVENTORY A. Needs Derived from Other Elements The analyses performed in the preceding City of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan elements have identified facility improvements needed to meet the demands of existing and future development. The impacts of new or improved public educational and public health care systems and facilities on the provision of infrastructure were examined within these analyses. (See Appendix A for Figure 31 the map of all existing and proposed educational and health care facilities) . Areas and locations were identified for major public education and public health system components within the City's jurisdiction. The impact of the new 263, 000 square foot, 141 1 bed hospital, now under construction, on the existing infrastructure of the City was analyzed during the site determination process that took place in 1989-1990. It was determined that the existing infrastructure (i.e. , roadways, solid waste, potable water, and recreation facilities) could adequately handle the demands required by the new facility. The City of Ocoee coordinates the approval of new development with the School Board by forwarding copies of all proposals to the appropriate staff representative for comment. In addition, copies of the City's five year capital outlay plan and population projections are made available. The School Board utilizes this information in making pupil projections and in planning their five year capital outlay program. Currently all schools within the City limits of Ocoee are over their permanent student capacity. The School Board's five year plan calls for the construction of at least one elementary school by 1995 to relieve Ocoee elementary schools. In addition, a new middle school currently under construction should provide some relief to Ocoee Middle School. The School Board is also implementing year-round schools, which provides an additional 20% student capacity, on a volunteer basis. In November 1991, the State Department of Education will conduct a state school plant survey for Orange County Public Schools, a project which is done for every school district every five years. This school plant survey will include a physical inspection of all schools in Orange County, an analysis of current and future student populations and recommendations for new schools or expansion of existing schools through 1996. An analysis of the infrastructure needs required by new public education facilities will be made by the City and coordinated with the School Board during the time period that site selection for these new facilities takes place. State and regional agencies, including the St. Johns River Water Management District, currently have no plans to provide public facilities within the City of Ocoee. This inventory is concerned with those needed improvements which are of relatively large scale, are of generally non- recurring high cost, and which may require multi-year financing. The needed improvements derived from the preceding elements of this plan which qualify as capital improvements are listed in Table 1 below. These capital improvements are ranked in order of priority. A brief summary describing each public facility, existing inventory, and LOS standards is as follows: 2 CPA-94-1-2 TRAFFIC CIRCULATION The Traffic Circulation Element is designed to provide safe, efficient movement of people.

INVENTORY As of December 1990 the City of Ocoee has provided wastewater service to approximately 2334 customer connections and operates two wastewater treatment facilities, nine pumping stations and 21.9 miles of sewer lines. Table 3 details the City of Ocoee's service area population and sewage flow rate projections up to year 2010. This projection is based on the City's requirement that all new developments connect to the wastewater system if at all practical. Septic tank systems I: may still be installed in areas where no collection/trans- mission systems are available and the soils are suitable for this type of treatment/disposal. EThe City has contracted to expand WWTP #2 from 1. 0 MGD to 2.0 MGD. The construction is scheduled for completion by October 1991. The City has also authorized engineering design to be initiated to expand the facility to 3 .0 MGD. The City will complete design of the 3 .0 MDG expansion by 1992 and shall expand the wastewater plant as needed. As noted earlier (Section G, Future Land Use Element) , the City requires prepayment of sewer capacity charges to require development to pay for capital expansion of needed infrastructure. Approximately 5,000 ERCs of sewer capacity has been reserved and prepaid. The City will have sufficient capacity upon completion of the on-going construction to provide service to 5000 new connections and is preparing engineering design to meet sewer needs to the year 2010. The LOS standard is 270 gallons per ERC. It should be noted that approximately 400, 000 gallons of excess capacity is projected for the year E2010. This capacity is available and sufficient to furnish • E • 3 sewer capacity to any areas where septic tanks may fail due to poor soil conditions.

INVENTORY The following is a review of each of the sub-basins. Limited information is available. TABLE 2 Drainage Basin Name Discussion and Description Lake Ada Lake Ada is a small landlocked lake within a 264 acre basin. Currently there is a minimal amount of development surrounding the lake. The 100-year retention upland retention criteria will be required for landlocked basins. Lake Meadow Lake Meadow is sparsely developed at this time and is a 58 acre lake located within a 1200 acre drainage basin. The lake is landlocked and as development occurs around the lake the 100-year upland retention criteria will be required for development in this basin. Prairie Lake Prairie Lake is a landlocked lake with substantial fluctuations based on rainfall events. The 100-year stormwater criteria for upland retention criteria will be required for development in this basin. Northwest Ditch System The Northwest Ditch system ultimately outfalls into Lake Apopka to the northwest. In 1986 the City of Ocoee installed an 18-inch drainage outfall from the Moxie Peach drainage system to alleviate flooding conditions within the developed Moxie Peach basin. Future needs for the Northwest Ditch system will include increasing the roadway culvert capacity on Fuller crossroads within Orange County. The post-development rate of runoff in developing I areas will need to be limited to the pre- development rate for the 100-year storm commensurate with on-site retention and I: detention for those developing areas. 6 Sub-basin 4A - Moxie Peach The Moxie Peach drainage system outfalls to the Northwest Ditch basin and was the subject of severe flooding in 1985. In 1986 the City of Ocoee embarked upon a construction program providing for a control structure in Lake Moxie which connects to the Northwest Ditch system. This structure controls the level of the lake at ordinary high water and provides detention during 100-year storm events. Following storm events the system bleeds down through an 18 inch pipe connected to the Northwest Ditch system. As currently improved, the Moxie Peach system requires no further improvements. Any additional development in this basin will have to meet to the City regulations for retention and detention. Spring Lake Spring Lake has a moderate connection to the aquifer and is also served by a non-maintained drainage well. Future development in the Spring Lake basin will require adherence to the 100-year upland retention requirement. Lake Johio Lake Johio is also a landlocked lake. Future development in this basin will be required' to meet the 100-year storm upland retention requirement. Starke Lake Starke Lake is one of the most developed sub- basins within the City of Ocoee. Most of the development within this basin occurred prior to the implementation of stormwater standards by the City, the Water Management District and the Department of Environmental Regulation. The lake is served by a drainage well which serves as the ultimate outfall for this lake. In this particular basin, due to the age of the neighborhoods and past development practices, there are several areas that experience street flooding during moderate rainfall events. There is little stormwater retention or detention provided within this basin. Studies need to be developed and capital budgets established for street drainage improvements and for the provision of retention as a minimum for water quality treatment. Retention can either be provided as a surface retention system or as an exfiltration system. The stormwater conveyance .system improvements will be 7 required to reduce flooding of the roads and rights-of-way. Retention requirements are needed to enhance the water quality of Starke Lake. At this time no specific studies have been performed on the water quality of Starke Lake; these studies are recommended. The drainage well which serves as the outfall for the lake should be re-permitted through the SJRWMD. Lake Olympia Lake Olympia is a landlocked lake in a rapidly developing basin. Development in this basin will be required to meet the 100-year upland retention requirements. Lake Lotta Lake Lotta is part of the Orange County primary drainage system. The portion of the lake, north of Highway 50, is in the City of Ocoee; the southern portion of the lake is in Orange County and part of the Orange County primary drainage system. The Lake Lotta subsystem, in conjunction with the South Central subsystem, requires a new engineering study to update a 1980 drainage study on this basin. The 1980 study was performed by Orange County and certain capital improvements were suggested and a preliminary capital budget was developed. Only portions of the recommended capital improvements within the study area were implemented and at this time it is recommended that an additional study, jointly funded by the City of Ocoee, Florida Department of Transportation and Orange County, be implemented to update the criteria for stormwater discharge within Lake Lotta and the South Central Basin. South Central Basin The South Central Basin is a sub-basin which interconnects Lake Lotta with the southwest portion of the City of Ocoee, Lake Rose and Lake Sherwood which are in Orange County. As discussed under the Lake Lotta sub-basin, it is recommended that the 1980 County study be updated with new criteria and a new capital budget developed. Unnamed Lake #1 This lake is likely a remnant sinkhole in a primarily undeveloped area. Within this very 8 small sub-basin, adherence to the 100-year upland retention criteria will be required. Unnamed Lake #2 This lake is likely a remnant sinkhole in a primarily undeveloped area. Within this very small sub-basin, adherence to the 100-year upland retention criteria will be required. Lake Blanchard Lake Blanchard is a landlocked lake. At this time there is a minimal amount of development, however, as this sub-basin develops adherence to the 100-year storm upland retention criteria will be required. Lake Lily (Lake Pearl) In this small basin adherence to the 100-year upland retention criteria will be required. South Maguire Road Area This is the area extending south from the Florida Turnpike to Roberson Road at the extreme southwest limits of the City of Ocoee. This is a developing area. Historically, during major storm events water has ponded within this area with some of the water draining west into Orange County. Specific studies will be required by the private sector as this area develops to establish drainage criteria. Positive outfalls beyond the City limits need to be identified and easements secured to insure the operation and maintenance of the drainage outfall(s) . Lake Stanley Lake Stanley is a small landlocked lake. The 100-year upland retention requirements will be required for development in this area. E- The most prominent deficiency in the City's effort to effectively address stormwater management is the lack of detailed master drainage plans for each basin. A city-wide master plan for each sub-basin, which details stormwater management information at the basin level, would improve the City's ability to comprehensively plan for system improvements. This master plan shall include a detailed inventory of all drainage facilities, evaluation of facility conditions, assessment of replacement and retrofit costs. In addition, the master plan should compliment the efforts of Orange County and the Water Management District. The City 1 9 shall implement a Stormwater Utility Program by October 1991 to fund the required basin studies. The goal of this element is to identify the City's existing level of service on a basin by basin basis consistent with Orange County and the Water Management District. The City's level of service classification system to evaluate existing development is based on a 25-year/24-hour storm event. The interim level of service for new development (25-year/24-hour) and the level of service for existing facilities cannot be defined until completion of the drainage basin studies. The City also includes 17-25 FAC (without exemptions) as performance standards to amplify the LOS standards. The basin studies will be completed by 1992 and an analysis of future improvements will be adopted as a future update to the City of Ocoee's Comprehensive Plan by 1993 . POTABLE WATER Water facilities should be designed to provide the population's needed supply. The level of service is an indication of service quality provided by or proposed to be provided by a water facility, based on the operational characteristics of the facility. The normal water consumption, on average, is 300 gallons per day per connection. This number is typical for domestic water systems in general, and is accepted by the water management district. Therefore, 300 gallons per day per connection (ERC) is the level of service which will be provided by the City of Ocoee. In addition, 300 gpd/ERC is used as the level of service for projecting future water demands. El As of April 1989, the City of Ocoee provides water service to a population of 14, 000 people, and operates three water treatment facilities, and approximately 50 miles of water mains. To meet the growing demand of water treatment in Ocoee, the City has developed a construction schedule for system improvements to assure adequate treatment and distribution facilities. The locations of these proposed facilities are shown on Figure 31. It should also be noted that the north and south water distribution systems will be connected by 1992 to provide increased service. These improvements will provide water service concurrent with the projected population increases. 10 C IPARKS AND RECREATION The purpose of the Recreation and Open Space Element is to plan for a system of parks and private and public recreational facilities that are readily accessible to all residents within the community. CThe inventory of existing recreation and open space sites and facilities in the City is presented in Table 3 . Further information has been included in Table 3 such as ownership, location, facilities provided, and condition. The sites are also geographically identified on the Recreational Facilities Map, Figure 30.

This is consistent with the provision of Section 9J-5. 016, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) , which requires this element to address existing and future capital improvements needed for at least the first five fiscal years after the adoption of the comprehensive plan. Capital improvements needed for the latter part of the planning period will be evaluated during the required annual review of this element. Table 7 provides a brief description of each of the capital improvements projects and provides an estimate of the total project cost. Projects are grouped by facility type. Capital improvement projects have been identified for transportation, sanitary sewer, potable water, drainage, and recreational facilities. The column in Table 7 labeled "Target Year" indicates the year by which the projects must be completed in order to maintain facilities. The capital improvement projects listed in Table 7 are not inclusive of all anticipated capital expenditures by the City during this time period. Smaller scale improvements will be addressed in the City's five-year capital improvement program and annual capital budget as they occur over time. The basis for all cost estimates in this element were as follows: cost of roads were estimated using average per-mile road construction costs on recent projects within the area, adjusted for annual inflation; sewer system construction costs were derived from the Wastewater Master Plan for the City; potable water construction costs were derived from the Water System Master Plan for the City; and recreational facilities were based on estimates from the Recreation Department based on recent publications and recent improvements. 16 I ICPA-94-1-3 ETABLE 7 Estimated Targct Cost Funding EYear (millions) Sourcc* TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Clark Road 4 .92 milca 1992/93 6w9.4 Impact Fcc3 E 1 lancd facility E Maguirc Road 1.48 milcs 1995/9G 5-F-14 Impact FCC3 4 lancd facility WASTEWATER 0.7 mgd cfflucnt disposal 1992/93 0,440 Capacity E capacity consisting of Chargc3 percolation ponds; includes mastcr cfflucnt pumping station and forcc main [ Sewcr improvcmcnt in 1992/93 0.250 Capacity vicinity of M&M Utilitica Chargca C Additional backbone c 1992/93 ' 0r.084 Capacity ollcction/transmission Chargca system improvements EConstruct 3 . 0 mgd oxidation 1992/95 4-4 Capacity ditch unit Chargca EPRAaNAGE Undcrdrains for Fond A and 1993/94 0. 250 Capacity Fond B Chargca EConduct drainagc study 1992/93 4,44 Stormwatcr Utility POTABLE WATER 12 inch watcr main 1992/93 0.7444 Capacity E interconnection Kissimmee Chargca Avcnue and Forc3t Oaks watcr treatment planta C 17 E E ICPA-94-1-3 EEstimatcd Targct Cost Funding Year (millions) Source* EJamcla Drivc Watcr Plant 1992/94 0.35 Capacity improvcmcnts consisting of Chargc3 ncw service pumps, ncw wcll E pumps for existing wcll3, and ncw rcmotc booster pump station Scicct sitc for South Watcr 1992/93 1.05 Capacity Plant and implement Phaac I Chargca consisting of well, ground storage tanks, service pumping, and chlorination Misccllancous backbone watcr 1992/93 0-r4 Capacity E main improvcmcnta Chargca PARES AND RECREATION EParkside Park 1990/91 47.441 Impact Fcca playground cquipmcnt irrigation Elandscaping and grassing rcstrooma parking arca Etcnnis complcx (2 courts) Silvcr Clcn Park property 1991/92 0046, Impact Fcca Izeut-h-Gellter—E*Pane4en 1991/92 0-:44.9 Impact Fcca Vignctti Park 1991/92 0. 020k Impact Fcca building renovation Ercotrooma 2 picnic tables 1992/93 0.013- Impact Fcca 1 basketball court E 2 basketball courts 1993/54 0. 02G Impact rCC3 4 picnic pavilions ESouth District Improvcmcnta 1994/95 0. 054 Impact Fcca 6 picnic tables tcnnis complex (2 courts) Eplayground cquipmcnt 1 basketball court E E18 E CPA-94-1-3 Eatimatcd Targct Coat Funding Year (million3) Sourcc4' £pccial Purpo3e Facility 1995/9G 0. 32G Impact Fcca 1 quadruplcx baacball facility 'Additional funding 3ourees may be tili-zcd as outlincd in Tablc 8. 19 CPA-94-1-3 �« �,=w*max.

B. Financial Resources In order to effectively plan for needed capital improvements, and to systematically arrange for necessary financing through the budget process, a logical preliminary step is to inventory the various major sources of funding available to the City. In 1991, these major sources of non grant funding will 22 L CPA-94-1-3 contribute to a total revenue sum of $4. 6 million. The following list of revenue sources comprises a working inventory, from which the City's capability to appropriate the needed revenue for capital improvements is assessed. The status of applicable financial resources currently utilized in the City is indicated below. Importantly, the following list includes all major financial resources available to the City and is not limited to those sources which will be used for capital improvement projects included in this Element's 5-year schedule of improvements. These currently utilized financial resources comprise, in part, the accounts (revenue sources) from which the capital improvement projects will be funded. Local Sources: a. Property Taxes (Ad Valorem) Property taxes are based on a millage rate (one mill is the equivalent of $1 per $1,000 of assessed value) , which is applied to the total taxable value of all real property and other tangible personal property. Depending upon policies established by the Board of City Commissioners, revenue from ad valorem taxes may be used to fund both operating costs and capital projects. State constitutional provisions exist for raising the millage rate above the 10-mill cap by local referendum for debt service or provision of municipal-type services within the City. Current Status As a major source of revenue for the City, the ad valorem tax traditionally accounts for approximately 22 percent of the City's annual budget. The current millage rate is set at 4 mills. The tax yield for 1991 19 is expected to be 4-14 million. The City's level of assessment is 98 percent. b. Public Utility or User Charges These charges are derived from the operation of publicly owned and operated sewer and potable water facilities. Current Status This source of revenue currently makes up approximately 20.5 percent of all the City's revenues. The public utility revenue yield for 1991 > 9 : will be $1, 184,00G pseTqF 23 I: CPA-94-1-3 Cc. Other Taxes, Fees and Charges This category includes various administrative fees, and other user charges for services and facilities operated by the City. Examples are sales of public documents, fines and forfeitures, licenses and permits, income received as interest from various countyan: funds, and all private contributions (real estate, gifts, 'donations, etc. ) to the City. Current Status Approximately 64,3 80 percent of the City's revenues are generated form these sources. The sum of 3, 142, 00G 1 ,70..E 1)OC in other taxes, fees and charges is anticipated in -144-4."1:994. d. Special Sources of Revenue Depending upon priorities assigned by the Board of City Commissioners and the availability of other revenue sources it may be necessary to seek additional funding mechanisms. The following sources of revenue represent options available to the City to finance required capital improvements. 1. Impact Fees These fees are charged in advance of new development and are designed to pay for infrastructure needs, but not operating costs, which directly result from new development. These fees must be equitably allocated to the specific group(s) which will directly benefit from the capital improvement, and the assessment levied must fairly reflect the true costs of these improvements. Impact fees are discussed in more detail in the section of this Element entitled "Inventory of Local Policies and Practices. " Current Status Approximately 23 percent of the City's total revenues (including bonds) are generated from these sources. The City charges the following impact fees: fire, police, parks and recreation and roads. The fees expected to be collected through FY 40-9-1 §1Z#4 are as follows: Fire $745, 000 4IIPASt Police $196,000 013:41:x`5 Parks and Rec. $163,9000 Roads C3 . 500. 000 6SCPS2t Total $4,604,900 1 µ 2u 24 I 2 . Borrowing The extremely high cost of many capital improvements requires local governments to occasionally resort to borrowing, whether through short-term or long-term financing. Short-term financing, perhaps through local banks, is one option available to raise required revenue for periods of, perhaps, one to five years. The more customary method, however, is to authorize long-term bond issues, normally for five to forty years. The following are examples of the type of bond issues which the City may utilize. a. General Obligation Bonds These bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of local government, and are required to be approved by voter referendum. General obligation bonds offer lower interest rates than other bonds, as they are, in effect, secured by the taxing power of the government. Revenues collected from the ad valorem taxes on real estate and other sources of general revenue are used to service the government's debt. Capital improvements financed through general obligation bonds should benefit the City as a whole rather than particular areas or groups. Current Status The City of Ocoee has not issued any general obligation bonds. b. Revenue Bonds Unlike general obligation bonds, revenue bonds are financed by those directly benefiting from the capital improvement. Revenue obtained from the issuance of these bonds is used to finance publicly-owned facilities such as roads, water and sewer facilities. Charges collected from the users of these facilities are used, in turn, to retire the bond obligations. In this respect, the capital project is largely self- supporting. Interest rates tend to be higher than for general obligation bonds, and issuance of the bonds may be approved by the Board of City Commissioners without voter referendum. Current Status The City of Ocoee has issued revenue bonds to finance improvements to its wastewater, water and road facilities. Bond revenues will be deposited in the respective trust fund accounts for these projects whereby funds are specifically earmarked for the particular project. General funds, assessments and user charges are used to service the debt. In 1991, a $7. 0 million Transportation Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bond will be issued to make road improvements. The 25 I: CPA-94-1-3 road improvement bond will be serviced by the local option gas tax revenues supported by public service taxes. Transportation Impact Fees will also be used to pay the debt Cservice. Impact fees will not be used for operational costs. The City of Ocoee, not unlike other Cities in Florida, depends on annual disbursements from the state government to supplement its operating and capital budget revenues. The sources of revenue listed in the above section represented funds which the City may levy, collect, and disburse at the local level. This section addresses those funds which are: (a) generated locally, but collected later and returned by the state; (b) adopted as a local option tax or license fee, I: collected and returned by the state; or (c) shared by the state in the form of grants to the local government, but originated from state general revenues. Amounts available from these sources may vary widely from year to year, depending upon legislative actions. a. Revenue Sharing Trust Fund CThere are two components to this fund, which is disbursed to all City's through their respective County governments - the cigarette tax and the intangibles tax. Current Status The City receives X300, 0040- per year as a share of Orange County's revenue shari g`: '��f'" b. Other Shared Revenue Within this category are several major financial resources which, like the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund are shared between city, county, and state agencies. The following taxes and licensing fees generate a large portion of the City's total annual revenue. 1. Sales Tax The current sales tax rate in Florida is 6 percent and is levied upon retail sales, and such things as commercial rentals, admission fees to entertainment facilities, and motor • vehicle sales. While there are many exemptions from the sales tax authorized by the Legislature, over $5 billion is collected annually by the State. Of the total collected, 9.7 percent is returned to counties and cities in accordance with r specific formula. 26 L CPA-94-1-3 Current Status The City's share of the i/2 cent sales tax revenue comes to approximately $1, 010, 000 O£ annually. 2 . Mobile Home Licenses Rates for mobile home licenses range from $20 to $80, depending upon the structure's length. Each city shares in the allocation of these revenues in accordance with the number of units located within its jurisdiction. Current Status is The City's share of mobile home license revenues is approximately $1, 600 $21160 annually. 3 . Motor Fuel Tax Of the eight cents per gallon collected by the state for gas taxes, the City receives a portion of Orange County's share. Current Status Approximately $140, 000 Wido is disbursed to the City each year from this source. c. Local Option Taxes Currently, the City utilizes one source of revenue under this category. All of the revenues are generated locally, but the funds are collected and administered by the Florida Department of Revenue. 1. County Local Option Gas Tax The local option gas tax may be levied at a one or two cent per gallon rate by majority vote of the County Commission. The rate may be increased to three through six-cents by an extraordinary vote (majority vote plus one) of the commission or by referendum. These revenues may only be used for transportation purposes. Current Status Orange County has adopted the rate of one cent. The City's share of these revenues is $335, 000 $ O D O. 27 L LFederal and State Grants and Loans The U.S. State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, which formerly provided for a system of federal general revenue sharing, has not been substantially modified. Federal funds are currently either: a) allocated to state agencies which administer block grants in accordance with the programs which they monitor; or b) reserved at the federal agency level and are disbursed as block grants directly to state and local agencies or eligible organizations and individuals. The purpose of the block grant program is to enable greater latitude by recipients in actual use of the funds, although recipients are still required to use the funds for specific categories of projects. These funds are not distributed by allocation, but rather, require competitive applications. Consequently, these grant monies are generally a non-recurring source of funds, and as such cannot be accurately projected for budgeting purposes. ill A partial list of available federal grant sources is included above. Other grants are administered at the state level, with state executive departments acting a "pass-through agencies" for federally funded project grants. An example of a federally funded project grant program is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) . The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which administers the program, allocates 70 percent of its CDBG funds for "entitlement communities, " or the larger urban areas. These entitlement communities may apply for and receive grants for financing specific projects from a list of eligible activities outlined in Title I statutes, such as infrastructure improvements, housing projects, and commercial revitalization. The remaining 30 percent of the funds are disbursed to state pass- through agencies - in Florida's case, the Department of I: Community Affairs (DCA) . DCA administers these grants for the same types of projects, but restricts their availability to "small cities" and counties. In addition to block grants, several federal agencies offer direct loan programs, but their applicability to capital improvement projects is extremely limited. State loans, on the other hand, are usually available to finance such capital projects as land acquisition for low-income housing. The DCA's Bureau of Housing administers loans and grants for these purposes through eligible local governments. L . 28 I LCPA-94-1-3 Current Status The City of Ocoee will be ` rccciving , :t :.:. approximately $263,000 from the CDBG `program through the Orange County Department of Community Development from the State. This grant will be aliazaa used for improvements to a previously privately owned ast water treatment system in the western portion of the City. Table 8 shows how these revenue sources are utilized to pay for Ocoee Capital Improvements, 1991-1996. In the previous discussion developer contributions were not listed as a source of revenue because they are not predictable. However, with growth's impact on the infrastructure, they have become a viable mechanism for maintaining necessary levels of service. C. Local Policies and Practices Local policies and practices may be used to guide the location and timing of land development, in support of the goals, objectives, and policies of the Future Land Use Element. Many of these policies and practices may be influenced by state agencies and water management districts that provide public facilities within the City's jurisdiction. For example, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) 5-Year Transportation Plan will have such an impact. One principal and two minor arterial state roads, SR 50, SR 438 and SR 439, have segments within the City's jurisdiction. Under current rulings, impact to levels of service created by development is the City's responsibility. Plans for Eimprovements to some of these segments are included within the 5 Year Transportation Plan. However, there are other such roadways that are not planned for improvement by FDOT. Either scenario will affect the capacity of the roadways, which will in turn affect the intensity of development or degree of financial commitment for which the City must plan. In this section of the Capital Improvements Element, many of the local policies and practices which are employed or may be employed in the future by the City are described in terms of their general concept and the circumstances which may warrant their use. Those policies and practices which are not in use or are not effectively being used in the City is discussed in the section of this Element entitled, Note: "Issues and Recommendations.

Level of Service Standards Level of Service (LOS) Standards are an indicator of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. LOS indicates the capacity E per unit of demand of each public facility. They are, in short, a summary of existing or desired public facility conditions. Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) , and Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Codes (FAC) , now require LOS standards to be included for public facilities addressed by local governments in their comprehensive plans. Specifically, these LOS will be established for the purpose of issuing development orders or permits to ensure that adequate facility capacity will be maintained and provided for future development. LOS standards can effect the timing and location of development by encouraging development in areas where facilities may have excess capacity. On the other hand, development may not be permitted unless needed facilities and services are provided. Such provision and development may occur in a phased sequence over time. Current Status 1 Based upon the assessment of required or desired levels of service for each element, the City of Ocoee shall adopt the following standards: A.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) A capital improvement program (not to be confused with the Capital Improvements Element of this comprehensive plan) is a plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a fixed period of years to meet anticipated capital needs. It sets forth each capital project or other contemplated expenditures which the City plans to undertake and, further, 32 I: presents estimates of the full resources needed to finance the project. A CIP will be adopted to be consistent with the CIE of the local comprehensive plan, as it will reflect the goals, objectives, and policies of the Element and its implementation strategies, including the 5-Year Schedule of Improvements. It will, however, be more inclusive than the CIE, as it will contain those projects of relatively small scale and low cost, which are generally recurring and do not require multi-year financing. The CIP is not limited to those public facilities addressed in the comprehensive plan. Time periods covered by a CIP may range up to ten years, but most are typically six-year programs. In many cases, the first year of the CIP is converted into the annual capital budget with longer range expenditures depicted in the five- year program. The capital budget encompasses enacting appropriations for projects in the first year of the CIP. Like the CIE, the CIP is reviewed on an annual basis. Current Status The City adopted a five-year CIP in September, 1990. 3 . Impact Fees Impact Fees are imposed by many local governments on new development to offset the. costs of new capital facilities necessitated by that development. This financing technique may be used by local governments as one strategy for implementing the Capital Improvements Element. Chapter 163, FS, includes impact fees as an innovative technique that may be integrated into the land development regulations. Impact fee development is one logical outgrowth of the Capital Improvements Element preparation. The assessment required for E the local government's capital improvement needs and its capability in providing for those needs, as required by Chapter 9J-5, FAC, may be a rational basis for developing an E- impact fee ordinance. Impact fees may also be used to affect the location and timing of infill development. Infill development usually occurs in areas with excess capacity of capital facilities. Current Status 33 L 1 CPA-94-1-3 The City has the following impact fee ordinances: fire, police, recreation and parks and roads. The fees expected to be collected through FY 90-41 9 �:r3 are as follows: Fire $745, 0005 :` ` Police $196, 000 22 Rec./Parks $163,900 ' �$ O: G5 .„,.,..._,, ,.:;-7:::,..... ::.,: ,. Roads $3 , 500. 000 =1490.1$20:::. Total $4,604, 904 112 ;7 4 . User Charges and Connection Fees User charges are designed to recoup the costs of public facilities or services by charging those who benefit from them. They are employed in many areas of local government service. The technique may be applied to potable water usage, sanitary sewer fees, solid waste service, recreation, and parking. As a tool for affecting the pace and pattern of development, user charges may be designed to vary for the quantity and location of the service provided. Thus, charges could be greater for providing services further distances from the core of the City. Current Status User charges and connection fees are utilized by the City for sanitary sewer, solid waste, and water service. 5. Concurrency Management System A Concurrency Management System controls the timing and location of development by conditioning development approval upon a showing that sufficient facilities and services are present or will be provided in order to maintain adopted LOS standards. It may, in effect, implement the 1985 Legislative mandate (Chapter 163, FS) which requires public facilities to be available to support the impacts of development. The system may make development approval contingent on the local government's ability to provide facilities and services and may require the development to furnish facilities and services in order to maintain adopted LOS standards. Additionally, adoption of a Concurrency Management System may offer the following benefits: 1. support consistency of the Capital Improvements Element Ewith the Future Land Use Element; 2 . provide for the orderly expansion of public facilities; 34 L 3 . stabilize capital improvements expenditures and taxing structure for capital improvements; and 4. reduce the possibility of damage to the environment from the use of overburdened facilities. Typically, the Concurrency Management System interacts with the development approval process by conditioning zoning, subdivision, or planned unit development (PUD) approval on demonstrated compliance with the ordinance. A Concurrency Management System may also function at the building permit stage. The system may, in this context, phase development in areas that are already approved but not as yet built out, such as pre-platted lands. F 1 35 EiCurrent Status The City has not adopted a Concurrency Management System Ordinance. However, it will be addressed under issues and recommendations. The following standards shall apply to the use of the infrastructure deficiency map in reviewing development: 1. All applications for change in zoning, preliminary subdivision approval, preliminary approval of any development shall be reviewed to determine if the facilities serving the area in which the development is located 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. Where 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. The City of Ocoee will keep an infrastructure deficiency map that will detail specific infrastructure deficiencies geographically. All the required components will be included 1 36 II Land symbols will be depicted for each type of deficiency, if present. C In April of each year, the Planning Director of Ocoee will evaluate the latest information available on the capacity of infrastructure serving the City and will identify all areas served by the various infrastructure components that do not meet the Level of Service Standards established in the Comprehensive Plan. Many Capital Improvements will be needed in future planning periods for Ocoee. Efforts will be made by the City to limit capital debt during this time to a 1:10 ratio of total annual debt service to total annual revenues. 6. Mandatory Dedications or Fees in Lieu Of ' The City may require, as a condition of plat approval, that subdividers dedicate a certain portion of land in the development to be used for public purposes. When a subdivision is too small or topographical conditions are such that a land dedication cannot reasonably required, the City may require the subdivider to pay a fee in lieu of dedication which is equivalent to the amount of land that would otherwise have been dedicated by the developer. The fee may be deposited into a separate account for future use toward provision of such facility. As a result of the public facility provisions, the adjacent area benefiting from the initiative would likely become more attractive to development. The acquired service potential may be used to encourage growth in desired areas. Current Status Mandatory dedications or fees in lieu of are required for some developments depending on the size of the development. Dedications may include roads, utility easements, and lands to be used for public facilities. 7. Moratoria A moratorium may temporarily halt or freeze development for a specified period of time on an emergency basis. It may be imposed on building permits, development approvals, or governmental services such as potable water connections, sanitary sewer extensions or hook-ups. Moratoria may generally be imposed for a "reasonable time" to allow for necessary planning activities pending comprehensive plan preparation, adoption, or amendment. Florida courts have found development moratoria to be a valid measure of last 1 37 L Lresort for the protection of local public health, safety, and welfare when adopted in accordance with applicable procedures. Additional considerations in adopting a moratorium include: 1. Determining the legal status of existing permit applications and approvals to determine the extent of "vested rights" for developments approved prior to ordinance adoption; 2. Specifying the geographic extent of the moratorium (whether it will be jurisdiction-wide, or limited to specific hazard areas or areas with existing service insufficiencies) ; and 3 . Specifying the time frame and conditions under which the moratorium will be imposed. Current Status The City of Ocoee is not currently imposing any moratoria. III. ANALYSIS A. Fiscal Assessment This section begins the examination of the City's ability to fund the capital improvements listed in Table 1. The purpose of this section is to determine whether sufficient revenue will be available within the existing budgeting framework utilized by the City to fund the needed improvements at the time they will be required. The assessment process consists of estimating future receipts of revenues which the City uses for capital improvement financing and then, balancing these receipts against anticipated expenditures for capital improvements. Using this process, it is possible to quantify annual revenue surpluses and shortfalls; providing a basis for examining opportunities for such opportunities is addressed in the next section, entitled "Issues and Recommendations." In addition to the direct cost for capital improvements, the City will experience fiscal impacts of the capital improvements derived from the other elements upon the operation of the City departments responsible for facility management. This will include costs for additional personnel and routine operation and maintenance activities. These operating costs will be moderate and will be incrementally absorbed into the annual budgets of the respective departments. 38 Ei LCPA-94-1-3 1. Accounting System The accounting system employed by the City records financial transactions in individual accounts which are called "funds. " Records for each fund provide a complete accounting of fund assets, liabilities, reserves, equities, revenues and expenditures. The following is a brief description of the Efunds which the City has established for capital improvement financing. a. General Fund The General Fund is the basic operating fund of the City.

The projected costs of these improvements are summarized by facility type for 1991-1996 in Table 7 (Policy 1.8) . These expenditures, in turn, represent additional costs the City must incur in order to maintain adopted level of service standards for capital facilities under projected growth conditions. In order to assess the ability of the City to meet anticipated capital improvements expenditures, it is necessary to determine whether sufficient revenues will be available. This has been done by finding the difference between the projected annual revenues and expenditures for each fund used by the ei City to finance capital improvements. The results of these assessments are shown in Table 16. Table 16 indicates the projected revenues for each of the funds, as previously listed Table 4, for the years 1991-1996. Listed beneath the revenues are the projected cappital expenditures for the year. The expenditures are } the debt service expenditures, and applicable costs of capital improvements derived from the other elements. Costs associated with drainage studies will assigned indicates the the General Fund. The balance for eck fund difference between the projected revenues and expenditures. A negative balance indicates a revenue shortfall for that year. 46 r [I TABLE 16 FISCAL ASSESSMENT (In millions of dollars) 95 96 FUND 90/91 91/92 92/93 93/94 94/95 �- GENERAL 6.75 7 .09 7 .44 Rev. 5.83 6. 12 6.43 6.97 7 .324 Ems, 5.73 6. 11 6.41 0. 116. 64 0. 12 0.12 Bal. 0. 10 0.01 0.02 WATER UTILITY 1. 16 1.21 1.27 1.34 1.40 Rev. 1.10 0.79 0.98 1.21 0.92 0.96 1.01 Exp, Bal. 0.31 0. 18 0.00 0.35 0.38 0.39 SANITATION 0.75 0.78 0.82 0.86 0.91 Rev. 0.71 0.75 0.78 0.82 0.86 0.91 Ems, 0.710.00 0. 00 Bal. 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 WASTEWATER Rev. 1.25 1.46 1.44 1.47 1.69 1.92 1.4 .3 17 4 Exp, 1. 10 1.40 1.42 1. 30 1.37 0.484 Bal. 0. 15 0.06 0. 02 0. 17 ROAD IMPROVEMENT BOND 4 . 14 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Ems, 2 Rev. 2.86 7.006 4.08 4.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Bal. 4. 14 0.06 0. 00 0. 00 0.00 0.00 RECREATIONAL IMPACT FEE FUND Rev.

Policy 1. 10 dr The City shall, based on relevant data and analysis, notify the St. Johns River Water Management District and other state agencies of the need for capital improvements with the City's jurisdiction. Notification shall occur annually as part of the City budget process. Obiective 2 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 to its proportional cost of facilities necessary to meet LOS standards through the accomplishment of the following policies. dis Policy 2 . 1 By January, 1992, the City shall establish a Concurrency Management System (CMS) as part of the land development regulations. The CMS shall provide that no final permit for development be issued unless the facilities necessary to serve the development exist and meet the level of service standards set out in this plan, or that the permit is conditioned on the necessary facilities meeting level of service standards by the imm time demand for services results from the development. The CMS shall be implemented as follows: a a) the facilities for which infrastructure capacity shall be evaluated shall include: roadways, potable water facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, schools, drainage facilities, solid waste facilities, and parks; b) a map shall be prepared by January, 1992 , and a proposed map shall be prepared by July each year thereafter, showing all areas within the City in which the infrastructure is inadequate to meet the adopted level of service standards; 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 59 L L. areas on the map shall be deleted because they are no longer deficient with respect to level of service standards; 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 L shall undertake periodic reviews on a quarterly basis rather than annually. d) 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; e) the map shall be adopted prior to October 1 each year, and shall be effective for the subsequent fiscal year or until amended; f) 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 Rule 9J-5. 0055 (2) (a) through (c) , Florida Administrative code; 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) ; g) The following standards shall apply to the use of the infrastructure deficiency map in reviewing development: 1. All applications for change in zoning, preliminary subdivision approval, preliminary approval of any development shall be reviewed to determine if the facilities serving the area in which the development is :: located 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. _`> Where review by the Planning Commission and/or City Commission is not required, the results of the 60 r Ir. 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. 2. 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. 3 . 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. h) 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) . Policy 2 .2 The City shall use impact fees and other methods to assess new development its pro rata share of costs in order to maintain level of service standards. 61 is 480 /1/42, p7D7,,FaNDirciFici PPFNWCF 41. ..
