SECTION 3. PROVISION AND FUNDING OF FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES.
(A) Upon the imposition of a Fire Protection Assessment for fire protection
services, facilities, or programs against Assessed Property located within the City, the
City shall provide fire protection services to such Assessed Property. A portion of the
cost to provide such fire protection services, facilities, or programs shall be funded from
proceeds of the Fire Protection Assessments. The remaining cost required to provide
fire protection services, facilities, and programs shall be funded by legally available City
revenues other than Fire Protection Assessment proceeds.
(B) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that each parcel of
Assessed Property located within the City will be benefited by the City's provision of fire
protection services, facilities, and programs in an amount not less than the Fire
Protection Assessment imposed against such parcel, computed in the manner set forth
in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
SECTION 4. IMPOSITION AND COMPUTATION OF FIRE PROTECTION
ASSESSMENTS. Fire Protection Assessments shall be imposed against all Tax
Parcels within the City. Fire Protection Assessments shall be computed in the manner
set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
FAIR APPORTIONMENT. It is hereby ascertained and declared that the Fire
9
Protection Assessed Costs provide a special benefit to the Assessed Property based
upon the following legislative determinations and based upon that certain report entitled
City of Ocoee, Florida Fire Assessment Memorandum, June 2013, prepared by
Government Services Group, Inc., which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
General
(A) Upon the adoption of this Initial Assessment Resolution determining the
Fire Protection Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in
the Assessment Roll, the legislative determinations ascertained and declared in Section
1.03 and 1.04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(B) Fire protection services possess a logical relationship to the use and
enjoyment of property by: (1) protecting the value of the improvements, structures, and
land through the provision of available fire protection services; (2) protecting the life and
safety of intended occupants in the use and enjoyment of property; (3) lowering the cost
of fire insurance by the presence of a professional and comprehensive fire protection
program within the City; (4) containing the spread of fire incidents occurring on land with
the potential to spread and endanger property and property features, and (5) preserving
and enhancing the value of property due to the availability of comprehensive fire
protection services.
(C) It is fair and reasonable to use the Improvement Codes and the DOR
Codes in the apportionment methodology because: (1) the Tax Roll database employing
the use of such property use codes is the most comprehensive, accurate, and reliable
information readily available to determine the Building Use and Building Area and (2)
the Tax Roll database employing the use of such property use codes is maintained by
10
the Property Appraiser and is thus consistent with parcel designations on the Tax Roll.
This compatibility permits the development of an Assessment Roll in conformity with the
requirements of the Uniform Method of Collection.
(D) The data available in the Improvement Codes is more useful and accurate
to determine Building Use and Building Area than relying exclusively upon the data
maintained in the DOR Codes alone because (1) the data maintained in the
Improvement Codes reveals the existence of a Building with a different use than the use
described on the DOR Code, (2) the Improvement Codes represent records maintained
by the Property Appraiser with the most information relative to Building Area regardless
of property use, and (3) the City conducted field work to ascertain Building use when
sufficient information was not available relative to Building Area.
(E) As a result of the urbanized character of the City, the suppression of fire
on land and other unimproved property primarily benefits the Buildings within the
adjacent improved property by the containment of the spread of fire rather than the
preservation of the unimproved property. Additionally, the potential need for the City's
fire protection resources is generated primarily by improved properties and the level of
services required to meet anticipated demand for fire protection services and the
corresponding annual fire protection budget required to fund fire protection services
provided to land and other unimproved property would be required notwithstanding the
occurrence of any incidents from such property uses. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable not to apportion any of the Fire Protection Assessed Costs to land and other
unimproved property.
11
Apportionment Methodology
(F) It is fair and reasonable and consistent with the decision from the Florida
Supreme Court in the case of County of North Lauderdale v. SMM Properties, Inc. 825
So. 2d 343 (Fla. 2002), to exclude from the Fire Protection Assessed Cost those
amounts determined to constitute the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
(G) The level of services required to meet anticipated demand for fire
protection services and the corresponding annual fire protection budget required to fund
fire protection services provided to unimproved, non - specific property uses would be
required notwithstanding the occurrence of any incidents from such non - specific
property uses. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to omit from the Demand and
Availability Factor calculations the Fire Protection Incident Reports documenting fire
protection services provided to non - specific property uses.
(H) The potential demand for fire protection services is driven by the
property's assigned Fire Flow Requirement (expressed in Net Fire Protection Units), as
determined by the City's response protocols, the Hazard Class according to Building
Use, the Square Footage of the Building, and application of the Demand and Availability
Factors.
(1) Apportioning the Fire Protection Assessed Costs for fire protection
services on a Fire Protection Unit basis is a fair and reasonable method of
apportionment based upon historical demand for fire protection services, the fire risk
presented by each specific Building Use, the size of the Building, and the amount of fire
flow, fire fighters, quantity and size of apparatus, and other special fire fighting
12
equipment that must be available for each Building in accordance with the City's
standards and practices.
(J) Apportioning the Fire Protection Assessed Costs between the City fire
department's time spent in response to fire protection calls, as reflected in the Demand
Percentage, and the stand -by time when the City fire department is available to respond
to improved properties, as reflected in the Availability Percentage, is fair and reasonable
and proportional to the special benefit received because it recognizes and allows an
adjustment in the amount of Net Fire Protection Units assigned to each Building based
upon the historical demand, as reflected by the Time in Service, for fire protection
services in each Hazard Class.
(K) The Fire Protection Incident Reports are a reliable source of data to
determine the potential demand for fire protection services from Buildings located within
Assessed Property and their intended occupants. There exist sufficient Fire Protection
Incident Reports that document the historical demand for fire protection services from
Assessed Property. The Demand Factor that has been determined for each Hazard
Class by an examination of such Fire Protection Incident Reports is consistent with the
experience of the City. Therefore, the use of Demand Factors that were determined by
an examination of historical Fire Protection Incident Reports is a fair and reasonable
method to adjust the Fire Protection Units assigned to each Hazard Class to account for
historical demands for service.
(L) Given the low number of Fire Protection Incident Reports within the
sampling period for Hazard Class 3 and Hazard Class 4 and given the similar nature of
these Hazard Classes with regard to the hazard occupancy of these Building Uses, it is
13
fair and reasonable to combine the two Hazard Classes for determining the Demand
and Availability Factors.
(M) NFPA 1710 reflects the City's response protocol, standards, and practices
and specifies the minimum criteria required to ensure that the fire department's fire
suppression capability includes personnel, equipment and resources to deploy the initial
arriving company, the full initial alarm assignment, and additional alarm assignments. In
accordance with NFPA 1710 and the City's standards, the initial full alarm assignment
should provide the establishment of an uninterrupted water supply of a minimum of 300
GPM for 30 minutes. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to define each Fire Protection
Unit in accordance with this standard and equate each Fire Protection Unit to the City's
capability to effectively deliver 300 GPM of Fire Flow,
(N) In accordance with NFPA 1710, the Fire Flow Requirement for each
Building is a proxy for the effective fire fighting force necessary to deliver all fire
suppression activities and mitigate all potential hazards, including the number of fire
fighters, quantity and size of apparatus and other special fire fighting equipment
required to be available for each Building in the City pursuant to the City's standard
resource allocation for an initial response to a fire call. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to use the Fire Flow Requirement (as expressed in Fire Protection Units) for
each Building for the apportionment methodology because the Fire Flow Requirement
for each Building provides a reasonable estimation of the costs of the fire fighters,
apparatus, equipment, services, facilities and programs the City must have available to
serve each Building and these fire fighting resources are directly funded by the Fire
Protection Assessment.
14
(0) NFPA 1142, Annex G provides a method for determining the Fire Flow
Requirement for Buildings depending upon a series of factors, including the type of
construction, size of the Building and the Hazard Class or potential combustibility of the
contents of the Building. NFPA 1142, Annex G is used by the City to determine the Fire
Flow Requirement and fire department resources that must be available in the event of
a maximum fire response for each Building within the City. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to use NFPA 1142, Annex G in the apportionment methodology because
such standard contains the best practices in the fire fighting industry and is the most
comprehensive, accurate and reliable information with regard to determining Fire Flow
Requirements,
(P) It is fair and reasonable to use "ordinary construction" as the construction
type for determining the Fire Flow Requirement for each Building because ordinary
construction is the predominant construction type within the City.
(Q) A fire in a Building containing highly combustible contents will require a
higher rate of fire flow and associated resources due to a greater risk of fire spread and
heat release than a Building with contents of low combustability and the City must
allocate its fire fighting resources to provide the required fire flow for the structure.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to use the Hazard Classes established by NFPA
1142, Chapter 5, as one factor in the apportionment methodology because such
standard contains the best practices in the fire fighting industry and is the most
comprehensive, accurate and reliable information with regard to Building risk
assignments.
15
(R) The greater the size of the Building, the greater the potential for a large
fire and the greater the Fire Flow Requirement that must be available in the event of a
fire in a structure of that Building's size and Hazard Class. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to use Building Square Footage as one factor in the apportionment
methodology.
(S) There may be additional factors that could increase the Fire Flow
Requirement needed for a specific Building; however, the administrative burden of
collecting and maintaining such data for every property within the City makes it
currently impractical for the City to utilize these factors and greatly outweighs the benefit
that could be realized from a further refinement of the apportionment methodology.
(T) The demand for the availability of fire protection services diminishes at the
outer limit of Building size since a fire occurring in a Building greater than a certain size
is not capable of being suppressed under expected conditions and the fire control
activities under such circumstances are directed to avoid the spread of the fire to
adjacent structures. Further, the City's maximum fire flow under present circumstances,
including automatic aid, is 12,000 gallons per minute. Therefore it is fair and reasonable
to place a cap on the maximum Fire Flow Requirement attributable to any Building of
12,000 gallons per minute.
(U) In the case of a Building equipped with a Certified Fire Sprinkler System, a
Certified Fire Suppression System or a Building that is otherwise designed to be more
fire resistant due to unique building construction, the City's fire fighting resources must
still be present at the scene of any fire incident to control the scene, respond in the
event of a system malfunction, ultimately extinguish any fire, and ensure the safety of all
16
structures involved. However, fully functioning and properly designed Certified Fire
Sprinkler Systems, Certified Fire Suppression Systems and fire resistant construction
may provide some measure of built -in fire protection which may lessen the total fire
suppression burden and the use of the City's fire fighting resources. Further, as an
incentive to encourage existing and new Buildings to employ these types of fire safety
measures, it is fair and reasonable to provide Fire Flow Mitigation Credits for Buildings
with these features that perform to original design standards for fire resistant
construction, or Certified Fire Sprinkler Systems and Certified Fire Suppression
Systems that are installed, monitored, inspected, maintained and tested to the
specifications of City standards.
(V) Pursuant to NFPA 1142, Annex G, the Fire Flow Requirement for Special
Use Buildings, such as lumber yards, aircraft hangars and petroleum storage facilities
which present special fire protection problems should be determined on an individual
basis, therefore it is fair and reasonable for the City to determine the Fire Flow
Requirement for Special Use Buildings on an individual basis using the factors and
methods outlined in NFPA 1142, Annex G.
(W) Section 125.0168, Florida Statutes, mandates that the City treat
Recreational Vehicle Park Property as Commercial Property for non -ad valorem special
assessments levied by the City. Thus, it is fair and reasonable to treat each
recreational vehicle space within Recreational Vehicle Park property and Mobile Home
Park property as a Building and assign the square footage of 191 square feet, the
average size of a recreational vehicle, according to the Florida Association of RV Parks
and Campgrounds.
17
(X) In accordance with available data, the City has determined that the
average mobile home has a Building Area of 720 square feet. Given that the actual
Building Area for all mobile homes within Recreational Vehicle Park property and Mobile
Home Park property within the City is not available and that the cost of measuring or
verifying the Building Area for each individual mobile home greatly exceeds any benefit
to be derived from individual measurement and verification, it is fair and reasonable to
assign each mobile home within Recreational Vehicle Park property and Mobile Home
Park property an assumed Building Area of 720 square feet.
Policies
(Y) As a consequence of the transient use and potential extraordinary
vacancies within Mobile Home Park property as compared to other Single Family
Residential Property and Recreational Vehicle Park property as compared to other
Commercial Property and the lack of demand for fire protection services for unoccupied
spaces, it is fair and reasonable to provide for an extraordinary vacancy adjustment
procedure for Mobile Home Park property and Recreational Vehicle Park property.
(Z) Government Property provides facilities and uses to the community, local
constituents and the public in general that serves a legitimate public purpose and
provides a public benefit. Therefore it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire
Protection Assessments upon such parcels of Government Property.
(AA) Government Property that is owned by federal government mortgage
entities, such as the VA and HUD, due to foreclosures are not serving a governmental
purpose nor providing a public benefit but are instead being held by these federal
government mortgage entities in a proprietary capacity. Accordingly, these properties
in
shall not be considered Government Property for purposes of the Fire Protection
Assessments and shall not be afforded an exemption from the Fire Protection
Assessment that is granted to other Government Property.
(BB) Institutional Property whose use is wholly exempt from ad valorem
taxation under Florida law provide facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants,
membership as well as the public in general that otherwise might be requested or
required to be provided by the City and such property uses serve a legitimate public
purpose and provide a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose
Fire Protection Assessments upon the Buildings categorized as Institutional Property
whose Building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law.
Accordingly, no Fire Protection Assessment shall be imposed upon Buildings
categorized as Institutional Property whose Building use is wholly exempt from ad
valorem taxation under Florida law.
SECTION 6. DETERMINATION OF FIRE PROTECTION ASSESSED COST.
The total Fire Protection Assessed Costs to be assessed and apportioned among
benefitted parcels for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2013, is $1,637,285.00.
SECTION 7. APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY. The Fire Protection
Assessment for each Tax Parcel shall be determined as provided in this Section 7.
(A) Assign each Building to the appropriate Hazard Class according to its
Building Use. Then separate each Building, except Special Use Buildings, Mobile
Home Park property, and Recreational Vehicle Park property, into the appropriate
square footage categories by Hazard Class provided in the Fire Protection Unit
19
Assignment Chart, which is attached hereto as Appendix E and incorporated herein by
reference.
(B) The Fire Protection Units for each Special Use Building shall be based
upon the assigned Fire Flow Requirement as determined by the City on a case -by -case
basis in accordance with the standards outlined in NFPA 1142. Then assign Fire
Protection Units to each Tax Parcel based upon the appropriate square footage
categories by Hazard Class provided in the Fire Protection Unit Assignment Chart
incorporated in subsection (A) above.
(C) The Fire Protection Units for each Tax Parcel of Recreational Vehicle Park
property shall be determined by aggregating the amount of Building Area associated
with recreational vehicle park spaces for each Tax Parcel, as reported to the
Department of Health, at 191 square feet each, and mobile home spaces, as reported to
the Department of Health, at 720 square feet each. Then assign Fire Protection Units to
each Tax Parcel based upon the appropriate square footage categories by Hazard
Class provided in the Fire Protection Unit Assignment Chart incorporated in subsection
(A) above. The Fire Protection Units for Buildings located on a Tax Parcel of
Recreational Vehicle Park property that are not recreational vehicle or mobile home
spaces shall be assigned in accordance with subsection (A) above.
(D) The Fire Protection Units for each Tax Parcel of Mobile Home Park
property shall be determined by assigning the average square footage of 720 square
feet for a mobile home to each mobile home space within the City based upon the
number of mobile home spaces, as reported to the Department of Health, and 191
square feet for each recreational vehicle space, as reported to the Department of
NEI
Health. Then assign Fire Protection Units to each Tax Parcel based upon the
appropriate square footage categories by Hazard Class provided in the Fire Protection
Unit Assignment Chart incorporated in subsection (A) above. The Fire Protection Units
for Buildings located on a Tax Parcel of Mobile Home Park property that are not mobile
home or recreational vehicle spaces shall be assigned in accordance with subsection
(A) above.
(E) Based upon these assignments of Fire Protection Units in subsections (A),
(B), (C) and (D), allocate the appropriate number of Fire Protection Units to each
Building (or Tax Parcel for Recreational Vehicle Park property and Mobile Home Park
property) and then add up the total number of Fire Protection Units in each Hazard
Class.
(F) Based upon the Fire Protection Incident Reports and other City data
sources, the total Time in Service was determined within the sampling period from
October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. The total Time in Service was then
divided into the total Scheduled Hours within the same sampling period to arrive at the
Demand Percentage. The remainder of the Scheduled Hours not included within the
Time in Service were then divided into the total Scheduled Hours to arrive at the
Availability Percentage.
(G) Utilizing data from the Fire Protection Incident Reports related to the type
of calls and physical location of each call, correlate the Building Use with the Code
Descriptions in the Fire Protection Incident Reports and assigned fire protection
incidents located within the City to each Hazard Class. Any duplicate responses and
21
mutual aid given calls shall be removed. For purposes of the Demand and Availability
Factors, Hazard Classes 3 and 4 shall be combined.
(H) Based upon such assignment of Fire Protection Incident Reports to each
Hazard Class, determine the total number of Fire Protection Incident Reports filed within
the sampling period for each Hazard Class. Then calculate a Demand Factor for each
Hazard Class by (1) dividing the total number of Fire Protection Incident Reports
assigned to each Hazard Class by the total number of Fire Protection Units assigned to
each Hazard Class in subsection (E) above to determine the number of Fire Protection
Incidents per Fire Protection Unit, and then (2) dividing the number of Fire Protection
Incidents per Fire Protection Unit by the average number of Fire Protection Incidents
per Fire Protection Unit for all Hazard Classes, and then (3) multiplying that result by the
Demand Percentage determined in subsection (F) above.
(1) Calculate an Availability Factor for each Hazard Class by dividing the
Availability Percentage by 100. For each Hazard Class, add the Demand Factor
determined in subsection (H) and the Availability Factor to arrive at the Combined
Factor.
(J) Multiply the total Fire Protection Units assigned to each Building in
subsections (A), (B), (C), and (D) above by the Combined Factor calculated for each
Hazard Class in subsection (1) above to determine the Net Fire Protection Units for each
Building. Then aggregate the Net Fire Protection Units assigned to each Building by
Hazard Class.
22
(K) Divide the Fire Protection Assessed Cost, as determined in Section 7 of
this Initial Assessment Resolution, by the total number of Net Fire Protection Units for
all Hazard Classes to arrive at the rate per Net Fire Protection Unit.
(L) Multiply the rate per Net Fire Protection Unit from subsection (K) above by
the total Net Fire Protection Units assigned to each Building in subsection (J). The
result is the total Fire Protection Assessment to be imposed upon each Building (or Tax
Parcel for Recreational Vehicle Park and Mobile Home Park property), except for
Residential Condominiums, Non - Residential Condominium Units, and Townhouse
Buildings, which shall be further apportioned as provided in subsection (M) below.
(M) For Residential Condominiums, Non - Residential Condominium Units, and
Townhouse Buildings, the Fire Protection Assessment shall be determined as follows:
(1) For Residential Condominiums, add the number of Net Fire
Protection Units assigned to all Buildings within the Condominium Complex and
then divide this product by the total number of Residential Condominiums within
the Condominium Complex to determine each Residential Condominium's Net
Fire Protection Unit assignment. Multiply the appropriate rate per Net Fire
Protection Unit from subsection (K) by the total Net Fire Protection Units
assigned to that Residential Condominium to determine each Residential
Condominium's Fire Protection Assessment.
(2) For Non - Residential Condominium Units, divide each Non-
Residential Condominium Unit's square footage by the total Building Area of the
Non - Residential Condominium Building to determine each Non - Residential
Condominium Unit's relative percentage of the total Building Area. Multiply the
23
total Net Fire Protection Units assigned to each Non - Residential Condominium
Building by each Non - Residential Condominium Unit's relative percentage of the
total Building Area to determine each Non - Residential Condominium Unit's share
of Net Fire Protection Units. Multiply the appropriate rate per Net Fire Protection
Unit from subsection (K) by the total Net Fire Protection Units assigned to that
Non - Residential Condominium Unit to determine each Non - Residential
Condominium Unit's Fire Protection Assessment.
(3) For Townhouse Buildings, add the number of Net Fire Protection
Units assigned to all Buildings within the townhouse community and then divide
this product by the total number of Townhouse Units to determine each
Townhouse Unit's share of Net Fire Protection Units. Multiply the appropriate
rate per Net Fire Protection Unit from subsection (K) by the total Net Fire
Protection Units assigned to that Townhouse Unit to determine each Townhouse
Unit's Fire Protection Assessment.
SECTION 8. ESTABLISHMENT OF INITIAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The estimated Fire Protection Assessments to be assessed against all
Tax Parcels of Assessed Property within the City to generate the estimated Fire
Protection Assessed Cost for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2013, is hereby
established as $69.50 per Net Fire Protection Unit for the purpose of this Initial
Assessment Resolution.
(B) The estimated Fire Protection Assessments specified in subsection (A)
above are hereby established to fund the specified Fire Protection Assessed Costs
O
determined to be assessed in the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2013. No portion of
such Fire Protection Assessed Costs are attributable to impact fee revenue that funds
capital improvements necessitated by new growth or development. Further, no portion
of such Fire Protection Assessed Costs are attributable to the Emergency Medical
Services Cost.
(C) No Fire Protection Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel of
Government Property or upon a Building categorized as Institutional Property whose
Building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law; however,
Government Property that is owned by federal mortgage entities, such as the VA and
HUD, shall not be exempted from the Fire Protection Assessment.
(D) Any shortfall in the expected Fire Protection Assessment proceeds due to
any reduction or exemption from payment of the Fire Protection Assessments required
by law or authorized by the City Commission shall be supplemented by any legally
available funds, or combination of such funds, and shall not be paid for by proceeds or
funds derived from the Fire Protection Assessments. It is the legislative determination
of the City Commission that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines
any exemption or reduction by the City Commission improper or otherwise adversely
affects the validity of the Fire Protection Assessment imposed for this Fiscal Year, the
sole and exclusive remedy shall be the imposition of a Fire Protection Assessment upon
each affected Tax Parcel in the amount of the Fire Protection Assessment that would
have been otherwise imposed save and except for such reduction or exemption
afforded to such Tax Parcel by the City Commission.
25
(E) The estimated Fire Protection Assessments established in this Initial
Assessment Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City
Manager in the preparation of the preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 2013, as provided in Section 10 of this Initial Assessment
Resolution.
SECTION 9. ASSESSMENT ROLL.
(A) The City Manager is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be prepared,
a preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2013, in the
manner provided in the Ordinance. The Assessment Roll shall include all Tax Parcels
within the City. The City Manager shall apportion the estimated Fire Protection
Assessed Cost to be recovered through Fire Protection Assessments in the manner set
forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
(B) A copy of this Initial Assessment Resolution, documentation related to the
estimated amount of the Fire Protection Assessed Cost to be recovered through the
imposition of Fire Protection Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll shall
be maintained on file in the Office of Management and Budget and open to public
inspection. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the preliminary
Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount of the Fire Protection Assessment for
each parcel of property can be determined by the use of a computer terminal available
to the public.
(C) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the method of
determining the Fire Protection Assessments for fire protection services as set forth in
this Initial Assessment Resolution is a fair and reasonable method of apportioning the
26
Fire Protection Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property located within the
City .
SECTION 10. VACANCY ADJUSTMENT.
(A) As a consequence of the transient use and potential for significant
numbers of vacancies within Mobile Home Parks and Recreational Vehicle Parks, and
the potential sustained lack of demand for fire protection services for unoccupied
spaces, each Owner of Mobile Home Park and Recreational Vehicle Park property shall
be afforded the opportunity to demonstrate, in the manner described below, the
vacancy rate in space occupancy within such property and receive a vacancy
adjustment to the Fire Protection Assessments imposed upon such property.
(B) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, vacant spaces in
Mobile Home Park property shall not be subject to the Fire Protection Assessments.
Similarly, vacant spaces within Recreational Vehicle Park property shall not be subject
to the Fire Protection Assessments.
(C) Vacant spaces shall be those determined by the City Manager based on
evidence of a vacancy rate provided by the Owner on or before October 1, 2013 and on
or before May 1 of each year thereafter. The vacancy rate shall be defined as the
percentage of available spaces within a Mobile Home Park or Recreational Vehicle Park
that were vacant between January 1 through and including December 31 of the
calendar year preceding the applicable deadline for the Owner's submittal of vacancy
rate evidence for each year and shall be calculated as follows:
Exact Number of Permitted Sites within the park A
(not including overflow areas)
Times (x) Days in Reporting Period
(x 365) B
27
Total Possible Space Nights C
A x B = C (Example: 100 sites x 365 days = 36,500)
Actual Space Nights D
Sum of Number of Actual Occupied Spaces for Each Day in Calendar Year
Occupancy Percentage E
D/C = E (Example: 12,500/36,500 = 34.2 %)
Vacancy Rate F
Subtract E from 100% (Example: 100% — 34.2% = 65.8%
The Owner shall certify by affidavit to the City, on a form provided by the City Manager,
the vacancy rate for the respective time period; such certification shall be subject to
verification and audit. At a minimum, such affidavit shall conclusively identify and affirm
(1) the tax parcel, (2) the number of spaces and type of improvements in the Mobile
Home Park or Recreational Vehicle Park, and (3) the vacancy rate.
(D) The City Manager is directed and authorized to adjust, or cause to be
adjusted, any Fire Protection Assessment imposed for the Fiscal Year beginning
October 1, 2013 upon a parcel of Mobile Home Park or Recreational Vehicle Park
property whose Owner timely and satisfactorily demonstrates by affidavit that such
parcel has experienced vacancies by multiplying the vacancy rate (expressed as a
decimal) by the Fire Protection Assessment attributable to the entire parcel of Mobile
Home Park or Recreational Vehicle Park property and reducing the Fire Protection
Assessment by an equivalent amount.
(E) Any shortfall in the expected Fire Protection Assessment proceeds due to
any adjustment for vacancy shall be supplemented by any legally available funds and
shall not be paid for by proceeds or funds derived from Fire Protection Assessments.
W
SECTION 11. FIRE FLOW MITIGATION CREDIT.
(A) Although the City's fire fighting resources must still be present at the
scene of any fire incident, the City Commission recognizes the potential benefits
provided by Certified Fire Sprinkler Systems, Certified Fire Suppression Systems or
other fire resistant Building construction, and the City Commission desires to encourage
existing and new Buildings to employ these types of fire safety measures. Accordingly,
the number of Fire Protection Units otherwise attributable to such Buildings shall be
adjusted by a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit determined in accordance with the Fire Flow
Mitigation Credit Policy, attached hereto as Appendix H and incorporated herein by
reference. No Fire Flow Mitigation Credit shall exceed 40% of the Building's assigned
Fire Protection Units.
(B) Prior to October 1, 2013, the property owner shall file with the City
Manager an application under oath demonstrating entitlement to a Fire Flow Mitigation
Credit in accordance with the attached Fire Flow Mitigation Credit Policy. Such
application shall include the following.
(1) The name and address of all Owners of the property;
(2) The address and legal description for the property;
(3) If seeking a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit for a Certified Fire Sprinkler
System, documentation on the type of Certified Fire Sprinkler System installed in the
Building and proof that the system was installed, inspected, monitored, and maintained
in accordance with the City's standards;
(4) If seeking a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit for a Certified Fire
Suppression System, documentation on the type of Certified Fire Suppression System
29
installed in the Building and proof that the system was installed, inspected, monitored,
and maintained in accordance with the City's standards;
(5) If seeking a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit for fire resistant building
construction, documentation on the construction materials and process used for all
exterior walls and frames, floors, roof, and supports; and
(6) The property owner shall furnish such other information relating to
the application as may be reasonably requested.
(C) The City Manager, with the assistance of other members of the
administrative staff of the City, shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the filing of
such application, review the application and such other supporting data that may be
filed therewith and make such further investigation as may be reasonably required in
order to determine if the applicant is qualified for a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit pursuant
to this Section.
(D) The City Manager shall furnish his written decision to such property owner
by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the property owner at the address
stated on the application on or before the expiration of twenty (20) business days
following the filing of the application determining if the property is or is not qualified for a
Fire Flow Mitigation Credit pursuant to this Section.
(E) If the City Manager determines that such property is entitled to a Fire
Flow Mitigation Credit pursuant to this Section, then the City Manager shall adjust or
cause to be adjusted the number of Fire Protection Units assigned to said property in
accordance with the Fire Flow Mitigation Credit Policy.
30
(F) Any Fire Flow Mitigation Credit granted is valid for one Fiscal Year. After
the application for a Fire Flow Mitigation Credit for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1,
2013, which application deadline is provided in paragraph (B) above, the property owner
must reapply annually by May 1 to continue to receive the Fire Flow Mitigation Credit for
the next Fiscal Year.
SECTION 12. METHOD OF COLLECTION. It is hereby declared that the
Fire Protection Assessments shall be collected and enforced pursuant to Uniform
Assessment Collection Act as provided in Section 3.01 of the Ordinance for Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 2013.

G. Such notices shall be mailed no later than August 15, 2013.
31
SECTION 16. APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS. The
revenue derived from the City's Fire Protection Assessments will be utilized for the
provision of fire protection services, facilities, and programs to properties within the City,
as reflected by the Fire Protection Assessed Cost. In the event there is any fund
balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, such balance shall be carried forward
and used only to fund fire protection services, facilities, and programs provided to
properties within the City.

NOTICE OF HEARING TO IMPOSE AND PROVIDE FOR COLLECTION

Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Ocoee, Florida will
conduct a public hearing to consider the imposition of annual fire protection special
assessments for the provision of fire protection services within the City and collection of
these assessments pursuant to the tax bill collection method.
The hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. on September 5, 2013, in the City
Commission Chambers, 150 North Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee, Florida, for the purpose of
receiving public comment on the proposed assessments. All affected property owners
have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the City within 20
days of this notice. If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City
Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearing, such person will need
a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim record is made,
including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be made. In
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special
accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should call the City
Clerk at (407)905 -3105, at least 48 hours prior to the date of the hearing.
The assessment for each parcel of property will be based upon each parcel's
classification and the total number of fire protection units attributed to that parcel. The
proposed fire protection assessment rate schedule for the Fiscal Year beginning
October 1, 2013 and future fiscal years is $69.50 per Net Fire Protection Unit.
Copies of the Fire Protection Assessment Ordinance, the Initial Assessment

imposed. Failure to pay the assessment will cause a tax certificate to be issued against
the property in accordance with the provisions of Florida law, which may result in a loss
of title.

please contact the City Clerk at (407) 905-3100, Monday through Friday between 8:00

APPENDIX H
FIRE FLOW MITIGATION CREDIT POLICY
Fire Protection Assessment
Fire Flow Mitigation Credit Policy
Eligibility:
Parcels subject to a fire protection assessment may be granted a fire flow mitigation
credit applied to the Net Fire Protection Units calculated for the buildings located on the
parcel based on one of the following factors:
1. Parcels containing buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler which is
approved by the City and installed, inspected, monitored, and maintained in
accordance with the State's adopted standards ( "Certified Fire Sprinkler
Systems "). Property owner must provide proof of proper operation and
maintenance annually to receive credit.
2. Parcels containing buildings equipped with automatic fire suppression systems
employing fire suppression agents other than water, as approved by the City and
installed, inspected, monitored and maintained in accordance with applicable
standards ( "Certified Fire Suppression Systems "). Property owner must provide
proof of proper operation and maintenance annually to receive credit.
3. Parcels containing buildings that are otherwise designed to be more fire resistant
due to unique building construction. Property owner must provide proof annually
of any alterations to the structure which could impact the fire resistant
construction measures.
No parcel shall receive more than a 40% reduction in the Net Fire Protection Units
assigned to the buildings contained on the parcel for one or all of these factors, and fire
flow mitigation credits will be granted to property owners only.
Rationale;
Credits may be granted to parcels whose fire flow impacts on the City's Fire Department
(in terms of Net Fire Protection Units) are mitigated by a properly designed, functioning
and fully automated Certified Fire Sprinkler System, Certified Fire Suppression System
or contain buildings that are otherwise designed to be more fire resistant due to unique
building construction. The basis for these credits is as follows:
1) Parcels that contain buildings equipped with a Certified Fire Sprinkler System may
require less fire flow capacity to be provided by the City which may offset some of
the costs which might otherwise be borne by the City.
a) NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting
(2012 edition), encourages the use of systems, methods, or devices of equivalent
or superior quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability, and safety
in place of those prescribed by the standard; provided technical documentation is
submitted to the City to demonstrate equivalency and the system, method, or
device is approved for the intended purpose.
H -1
b) The City is permitted to reduce the water supply required for any building
pursuant to NFPA 1142 for manual fire - fighting purposes when a structure is
protected by an automatic sprinkler system that fully meets the requirements of
NFPA 13, NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
c) Chapter 633, Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code Chapter 69A
establish the State of Florida's standards for automatic fire sprinkler system
installation and maintenance which are adhered to by the City.
d) A Certified Fire Sprinkler System provides built -in fire protection, lessening the
fire suppression burden and the water supply need on the fire department.
2) Parcels that contain buildings equipped with a Certified Fire Suppression System
may require less fire flow capacity to be provided by the City which may offset some
of the costs which might otherwise be borne by the City.
a) NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting
(2012 edition), encourages the use of systems, methods, or devices of equivalent
or superior quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability, and safety
in place of those prescribed by the standard; provided technical documentation is
submitted to the City to demonstrate equivalency and the system, method, or
device is approved for the intended purpose.
b) Chapter 633, Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code Chapter 69A
establish the State of Florida's standards for fire suppression system installation
and maintenance which are adhered to by the City.
c) For any building fully or partially protected by an automatic fire suppression
system other than an automatic sprinkler system, the City shall determine the
minimum water supply required for the building for fire - fighting purposes pursuant
to NFPA 1142, Annex G or other applicable standards on an individual basis.
d) A Certified Fire Suppression System provides built -in fire protection, lessening
the fire suppression burden and the water supply need on the fire department.
3) Parcels that contain buildings that are otherwise designed to be more fire resistant
due to unique building construction require less fire flow capacity to be provided by
the City which may offset some of the costs which might otherwise be borne by the
City
a) Combustibility and fire resistance of the building itself greatly influence the
development and spread of a fire and, to a large extent, determine the amount of
water needed to control and extinguish a fire.
b) NFPA 220, Standard on Types of Building Construction (2012 edition) classifies
construction types into five categories with different fire resistance ratings:
i) Type I and Type ll: construction type in which fire walls, structural elements,
walls, arches, floors and roofs are of approved non - combustible or limited
combustible materials as defined in NFPA 220, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4.
H -2
ii) Type III: construction type in which exterior walls and structural elements that
are portions of exterior walls are of approved noncombustible or limited
combustible materials, and in which fire walls, interior structural elements,
walls, arches, floors and roofs are entirely or partially of wood of smaller
dimensions than required for Type IV construction or are of approved
noncombustible, limited combustible or other approved combustible materials.
iii) Type IV: construction type in which fire walls, exterior walls and interior
bearing walls and structural elements that are portions of such walls are of
approved noncombustible or limited combustible materials. Other interior
structural elements, arches, floors and roofs shall be of solid or laminated
wood without concealed spaces and shall comply with the allowable
dimension pursuant to NFPA 220.
iv) Type V: construction type in which structural elements, walls, arches, floors
and roofs are entirely or partially of wood or other approved material,
c) Fire Resistive Construction is defined in NFPA 1142, G.4.1.1.1 as any building
with 66 2/3 percent or more of the total wall area and 66 2/3 percent or more of the
total floor and roof area defined as construction Type I.
d) Noncombustible Construction is defined in NFPA 1142, G.4.1.1.2 as any building
with 66 2/3 percent or more of the total wall area and 66 2/3 or more of the total floor
and roof area defined as construction Types II and IV, or any building not meeting
the definition of Fire Resistive Construction with 66 2/3 percent or more of the total
wall area and 66 2/3 percent or more of the total floor and roof area constructed in
two or more of construction Types I, II and IV, but with no single type itself equal to
66 2/3 percent or more of the total area.
e) Ordinary Construction is defined in NFPA 1142, G.4.1.1.3 as any building not
meeting the definitions of Fire Resistive Construction or Noncombustible
Construction with 66 2/3 percent or more of the total wall area of construction Type
III, or any building not qualifying under the definitions of Fire Resistive Construction
or Noncombustible Construction with 66 2/3 percent or more of the total wall area
and 66 2/3 percent or more of the total floor and roof area construction in two or
more of construction Types I, II, III and IV, but with no single type itself equal to 66
2/3 percent or more of the total area.
f) The Construction Class Coefficient is a series of numbers from 0.6 through 1.5
that are mathematical factors used in the formula to determine the total water supply
requirements for a building pursuant to NFPA 1142, Annex G. The slowest burning
or lowest hazard type of construction, fire - resistive, is construction classification 0.5.
The fastest burning or highest hazard type of construction, wood frame, is
construction classification 1.5.
i) Fire Resistive Construction = 0.6
ii) Noncombustible Construction = 0.8
iii) Ordinary Construction = 1.0
H -3
iv) Wood Frame Construction = 1.5
4) It is in the City's interest to encourage the proper operation and maintenance and
continued existence of Certified Fire Sprinkler Systems, Certified Fire Suppression
Systems or construction of buildings that are otherwise designed to be more fire
resistant due to unique building construction because the City receives benefits from the
reduction in the need for fire flow in the form of reduced costs.
