The first evaluation and appraisal report was completed in June 2000; thereafter, amendments to the 'Plan were prepared, adopted, and found in compliance in 2001 and 2002. Since that time, major amendments to the Plan include the 2006 amendment for the Wekiva Study Area and a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, a 2007 amendment to the Future Land Use Element to incorporate mixed use land use categories, and the 2008 adoption of the Public Education. Facilities Element. The City of Longwood .conducted a second evaluation and appraisal. of its Plan in 2007. The Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) was found sufficient by the Florida Department of Community Affairs on April 2, 2008. A number of recommendations resulted from the evaluation process. These recommendations are the basis for the EAR-based amendment to the comprehensive plan.. The adopted porfiion of this document is Chapter 1, Goals., Objectives, and Policies, and Maps. 2.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATI®iV PR®GRAf~ ~ The City of Longwood ensures that all participation requirements of Florida Statutes are followed. This amendment process began with. the development and adoption of the EAR. During the process to amend the Plan based on the EAR, the City continued to provide opportunities for public review and comment. The process for considering, transmitting., and adopting the evaluation and appraisal-based amendment includes citizen workshops and public hearings.

Unless specifically provided and updated herein, the City will rely on the data and analysis from the previously adopted Comprehensive Plan and its amendments. The exception is the Transportation Element data and analysis which completely replaces the prior element. 4.1 cORICIJRRERICY IIiIARIACEiyIEIVT SVSTEIVI The EAR contained four recommendations for amending the concurrency Management System. These recommendations affect the concurrency management system 4.1.1 Transportation concurrency The EAR recommended that the concurrency management system be amended for transportation improvements. The necessary improvements to transportation facilities are to be in place within three years from the time a building permit is issued, rather than the certificate of occupancy. The change in timing is in compliance with Chapter 163.3180(2)(c). The concurrency management element is also amended to provide for an alternative ~ concurrency management system to deal with existing deficiencies in the transportation network, the addition of a commuter rail system and rail station, and potential mixed use development in the vicinity of the rail station. The EAR recommended that the City consider development of a common methodology for measuring the impacts of development on the arterial and collector roadways that cross multiple jurisdictional boundaries. The City of Longwood recognizes the appropriate method for measuring level of service as the methods described in the latest Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB). From a longer term perspective, the local governments within Central Florida (including those in Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Volusia, Brevard, Lake and Polk Counties) have agreed to implement a Regional Growth Vision which includes an expanded multi-modal approach to meeting future transportation needs. In Longwood, this will include the implementation of Phase I of commuter rail system, SunRail, with a station to be located north of SR 434 and east of CR 427 (Ronald Reagan Blvd.). 4.1.2 Public School Facilities Level of Service The EAR recommended that the element contain a level of service standard for schools based on the Seminole County Public School Facilities Element. As required by law, the City of Longwood adopted a Public Schools Facilities Element in January 2008. The adopted element contains both the level of service standard and the appropriate support documentation. The goals, objectives, and policies are incorporated into the Plan. No further changes to the concurrency management system are needed in the EAR-based ~ amendment. September 14, 2009 3 City of Longwooc! ~s~®PTI®~! ~u~LiC i~~ARI~1G ®~AF~ EA~~I3ased Amendment '~~f 4.2 TF~ARISPC3RT'Al°I®id IELEYI~E~IT : Local governments that have all or part of~their jurisdiction included within the urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (this applies to the City of Longwood) are required to prepare and adopt a Transportation Element consistent with the provisions of Chapter 163, Part III of the Florida Statutes. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a safe, efficient, multimoclal transportation system within the City of Longwood. The objective of the Transportation Element Data Inventory and Analysis Report is to describe and analyze transportation resources within the City of Longwood, project future conditions .and prepare a foundation for the formulation of goals, objectives, policies and implementation programs. Data has been collected,. analyzed and portraye~~ in text and graphic formats including a series of transportation maps. In this analysis, the City of Longwood's Comprehensive Plan horizon year is 2025. The Transportation Element Data Inventory and Analysis presents: An analysis of the existing transportation systems, including the ability of transportation facilities and services to Nerve existing .land uses and the adequacy of the existing and. projected transportation system to provide adequate emergency evacuation routes; Growth trends and travel patterns, 'including relationships between land use and transportation systems; ~ Projected transportation system levels of service; An analysis of local and state transp,ortaticn programs; Maintenance of adopted level of service standards; and Land use policy implications of trari port~ition management programs necessary to promote public transportation. 4.2.1 ®efintions> of Terms anvil Concepts A. Classification of ~flajor `Thoroughfares Major thoroughfares are categorized into functional classification groups according to the character of service they provide. The four functional classification groups for urban areas are principal arterials, minor arterials, collE:ctors and local streets. The extent and degree of access control is a significant factor irr defining the functional classification of a roadway. Regulated limitation of access i:~ necessary on arterials to enhance their primary function of mobility, while the primary function of local streets is to provide access. Functional classifications for major thoroughfares are defined in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials., 2001).. Principal Arteriail~. The principal arterial systE;m serves the major centers of activity and the highest volume traffic corridors of urbanized areas. Principal arterials typically serve longer distance trips. Although principal arterials constitute a small percentage of the total roadway network,. they carry a, hi~~h proportion of total urban traffic. The principal arterial system also carries most of the trips entering and leaving 'the urban September 14, 2009 4 City of Lon~~ood A®®P`TI®N PUBLIC HEARING ®I~AFT EAR-Based Amendment area. Service on principal arterials is normally continuous with .relatively high traffic volumes, long average trip lengths a'nd high operating speeds. Service.to abutting land is typically subordinate to the provision of travel service and major traffic movements. Typical .principal. arterials include interstates, freeways and. other limited access facilities. Minor Arterials. The minor arterial system interconnects and supports the principal arterial system. It accommodates trips of moderate. lengths at a lower level of mobility than provided on principal arterials. Minor arterials provide continuity among communities and may also carry local 'bus routes. Ideally, minor arterials do not penetrate identifiable neighborhoods. The spacing of minor arterials is typically not much greater than one mile in most urbanized areas. Collectors. The collector street system provides vehicular access to and mobility within residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial areas. It differs from the arterial system in that it penetrates neighborhoods and distributes trips from arterials to their ultimate destinations. Conversely, collectors also transition vehicular traffic from local streets onto the arterial system. The collector street system may carry local bus routes. Service on collectors has relatively moderate traffic volumes, average trip lengths and average operating speeds. Local. Streets. The local street system comprises all roadways .not in one of the higher systems. It provides direct access to abutting land uses and connections to the higher order systems. It offers the lowest level of vehicular mobility and usually contains no bus routes. Service to through traffic is often discouraged on local streets. Service on local streets has relatively low average traffic volumes, short average trip length or minimal through traffic movements and high land access for abutting property. Level of Service Level of service standards can be determined for various public facilities. Within the City of Longwood, levels of service measurements are determined for the roadways based upon the amount and distribution of automobile traffic. LOS standards for automobiles are discussed below. Automobile Level of Service. The Traffic Engineering Handbook (Institute of Transportation Engineers 1999) defines level of service for roadways as: "A qualitative measure that characterizes operational conditions within a traffic stream and perception of these conditions by motorists and passengers. The descriptions of individual levels of service characterize these conditions in terms of factors such as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions and comfort and convenience." This definition can be further simplified as the ratio of traffic volume to roadway capacity. The six (6) different levels of service categories are described below: Level, of .Service A -This LOS represents an ideal condition of primarily free-flow ~ traffic operations at average travel speeds. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in September 14, 2009 5 City of Longwood AD®P`~I®~! PIJEI~IC HE~~ING ®P~PT EAR-Eased Arrrendrnent L. their ability '~to maneuver within the traffic atream and delays at intersections are minimal. © Level of Service S -This LOS represents reasonably stable, unimpeded traffic flow at average travel speeds. The ability to m~sneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and stopped delays,are nc~t bothersome. m Level of Service C -Traffic flow is stable but drivers are becoming restricted in their choice of speeds and ability to rvianE:uver. This service level is often selected as being an appropriate criterion for road~Nay design purposes. o Level of Service D -Most .motorists would consider this LOS unsatisfactory, as traffic flow is unstable. Driving speed; are tolerable for short periods but are subject to sudden variance. Time delays coo occur due to high volumes of frar'fic. The ability to maneuver and choose speed is severely restricted. ® Level of Service E - Trafffic flow is unstable as speeds and flow rates vary. ~-raffic flow has either stopped or is maintainE:d at a low speed. There is little independence in selection of speeds or ability to maneuver. Driving comfort is low and accident potential is high due to limited space between vehicles and rapidly changing sK~eeds. The roadway may act as a storage area resulting from downstream congestion. Generally, a facility at Level of Service E is operating at or above capacity. Level of Service F -Traffic flow has generally come to a stopped condition, but will have slight inconsistent movement. No independence in selection of speeds or ability to m~~neuver exists at this level of service. Driving comfort is low and accident potential is high due to limited space between vehicles and rapidly changing speeds. The roadway is conge:~ted. Generally, a facility at Level of Ser-vice F is operating above capacity. Eicycle Level of Service. No bicycle LOTS standards exist at this time in the City of Longwood or bicycle ridership data. The City will maintain and continue to increase the availability of bikeways through public and priv,~tE~ efforts. Pedestrian Level of Service. No pedestrian LOS standards or recorded pedestrian data exists for the City of Longwood at this time. The City will maintain and continue to increase the availability of sidewalks and pede:~trian paths. 4.2.2 Existing Transportation ®ata The following series of maps represent the existing conditions for the transportation network on a multi-modal basis.

Analysis of Existing Transportation System The City's Transportation Element is coordinated with Seminole County by utilizing data and forecasts generated by the County. This coordination ensures that the City's data is corresponds with countywide growth trends and travel patterns. An examination of the City's existing transportation system is below. A. Level of Service Calculation Method®logy The City of Longwood recognizes the appropriate method for measuring level of service as the methods described in the latest Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Other acceptable methods include ~ evaluating level of service using the FDOT 2002 Quality/Level of Service Handbook September 14, 2009 7 City of Longvva~od ~~®®P~1O~ PU~LLIC HE,4~IialG ®I~PT EAt~-used ~rraendrment (including FDOT' programs such as ARTPLfaN), and Seminole County's Travel Time Runs. Minimum K factors of 0..075 and D factors of 0.52 apply. Level of Service Standards. The City of Lanc~wood adopts the level of service E for arterial; collector, and local roadways. The e~:ception to this level of service standard is the level of service standard adopted for any roadway designated as a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). wily and Peak Hour beak ®irection Vehicle 'rips The City of Longwood does not maintain traffic counts for roadways within the City. Daily vehicle trip, were estimated using peak season daily traffic counts from Seminole County (where available). Peak hour peak direction volumes were provided in the 2008 Seminole County Annual Traffic Report. The peak season daily counts were adjusted 'to ~gverage Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) by multiplying the counts provided with the 2008 Seminole County Annual Traffic Count by the seasonal factor and weekly axle factor from the 2007 Florida Traffic Information DVD for the week the counts were taken. Tables 2-1 and 2:-2 present the existing daily and peak hour peak direction volumes for the major roadw~~ys within the City of Longwood. Note that while a roadway daily traffic volume may excE;ed its generalized service volume at its adopted LOS,. a roadway is not determined to be: deficient unless its peak hour peak direction (PHPD) traffic operates below its adopted LOS standard. Similarly,, a u~o~idway PHPb traffic volume may exceed its generalized service volume at its adoptE~d LOS; however, a roadway is not determined to be deficient unless its. PHPD tr~v~~l time run identifies that the roadway is operating below its adopted LOS standard.

Existing Modal Split and Vehicle ®ccupancy Rates Lnformation collected by the U.S. Census Bureau regarding workers by transportation mode for both the City and the County ..have been compiled in Table 2-3. Workers in both the City and County predominately drive. alone in a. car, truck, or van with the percentages being far above 50 pereenf. The second highest preferred mode of travel was carpooling in a car, truck, or van. The mean travel time fio work for the City was approximately 25 minutes and 27 minutes for the County {based on information from the 2000 Census). The information obtained from the US Census is nearly a decade old. Changes in the last few years in fuel prices coupled with the City's continued focus on multimodal transportation could have had an .impact on the modal split and vehicle occupancy. The City also has been adding sidewalks to several roadways as part of the Sidewalk Improvement Program. These improvements could potentially lead to even greater increase in the modal split and vehicle occupancy. fable 2~3 Workers b Trans ~ ortation M®de Workers Workers Mode Percentage (Seminole Percentage (Longwood).

The LYNX fixed service route system serves a 2,500-square mile area in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties. In addition, LYNX also provides. a forum for users to enroll in a `Vanpool' or `Carpool' program. Enrollment information can be found on the LYNX website along with detailed information on how the programs work. The fixed service route is illustrated in Map T-5 and described below. Route 103 operates along the eastern .portion of the City along US 17-92. Operations began in August of 2'00.3. The route begins at the intersection of Fernwood Boulevard and Oxford road, stopping next at US 17-92 and SR 434, then stopping at Seminole Col-nmunity College, and finally stopping at the Seminole Center. The route operates on 30-minute headways and is in operation from 5:10 A.M. to 9:0.0 P.M. Monday fihrough Saturday. On Sunday the route operates on 60-minute headways and is in operation from 5:58 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Route 103 began service in August 2008 and those ridership numbers are presented in Table 2-4 as well.. Table 2-5 summarizes transit peak and ofif--peak service to the City of Longwood.

Transportation ®isadvantaged The transportation disadvantaged are people who are unable to transport themselves. They also can be people who cannot purchase the needed transportation because of a physical, mental, or financial problem. Therefore they are dependent upon other people and service providers to help them with their transportation needs. LYNX has been designated the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) by the State o'r Florida. As the CTC., LYNX coordinates publicly funded transportation for all persons within Orange, Osceola., and Seminole Counties. F. Existing Characteristics of fylajor TriK? Generators and Attractors Overall, the location of major trip generai:ors and attractors influences roadway improvement needs as well as the demand for transit. Trip production areas are those portions of the City where major residential developments are located because this is where trips are generated. All of the resicieritial areas would be considered trip production areas. Trip attraction areas are locati~~ns with shopping, recreation, medical, employment, and other facilities, generally tf-ie location of the trip ends. People are attracted to these areas by the services or facilities available there. The major traffic attractors within the City include the Orlando F:ec~ional South Seminole Hospital. Map T- 6 identifies these attractors and their location in the City. G. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Pedestrian facilities can include on-road farili'~:ies, such as sidewalks and off-road facilities such as trails and recreation paths. Most local streets throughout the City can accommodate pedestrian traffic. The City's existing .pedestrian facilities are illustrated on Map T-7. H. Existing Eicycle Facilities Bicycle facilities c:an include on-road facilities, such as bike lanes, wide shoulders, and sidewalks, and off-road facilities, such as trail: and recreation paths. The City does not have any off-road facilities; however there are a number of formal on-road facilities, September 14, 2009 12 City of Longwood A®®PTI®~1 PUBLIC I~EARII~G DRAFT EAR-based Amendment ~ such as bike lanes. These are illustrated on Map T-7. The availability of these facilities plays an important role in promoting bicycling. l"he City is actively promoting the use of and enhancing bicycle facilities. Bicycle facility improvements are part of the multimodal approach aimed at alleviating traffic congestion, reducing the need for automobile parking facilities, and improving the overall .health of residents. I. Adequacy of Existing and Projected Evacuation Transportation System The City of Longwood has two roads serving as the designated evacuation routes. These are I-4 and US 17-92 as seen in Map T-9. 4.2.4 Future Transportation Data The following series of maps represent the future conditions (2025) for the transportation network on a multi-modal .basis. This includes the roadway system, public transit system and bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the City of Longwood. The maps are provided in Section '3.12 of the goals, objectives, and policies. IVlap T-10: Major Thoroughfares by Functional Classification (2025) identifies the 2025 roadway network, including arterial anal collector streets, and their functional classification.

September 14, 2009 18 `l'he City ®f l~ongvvood AD®PTI®'P~ FU~I~IC FEARING ®RAF~ EAR~Eased Amendment As shown in Tables 2-6 and 2-7, based on generalized service volumes, all roadway links are expected to meet their adopted level of service through the short-term (2014) for the daily and peak hour peak direction conditions with the exception of portions of SR 434 and EE Williamson Road/Longwood Hills .Road. It is important to note that the analysis of existing conditions produced similar conclusions in that. traffic on portions of these roadways exceed their generalized service volumes; however, travel time runs show the roads are operating at acceptable levels of service. While the projected 2014 traffic volumes are higher than existing volumes, it is very possible that travel time runs will continue to show acceptable conditions on these roadways. Therefore.,. the City will establish a policy to annually monitor operating levels of service on SR 434 and EE Williamson Road / Longwood Hills Road using the Seminole County travel time runs to determine if these .roadways continue to operate at acceptable levels of service. If and when these roadways are determined to operate below their adopted LOS, the City will initiate studies to determine improvements needed to achieve and maintain the adopted LOS. From a longer term perspective, the local governments within Central Florida (including those in Seminole, Orange,. Osceola, Volusia, Brevard, Lake and I''olk Counties) have agreed to implement a Regional Growth Vision which includes an expanded multi-modal approach to meeting future transportation needs. In Longwood, this will include the implementation of SunRail, with a station to be located north of SR 434 and east of CR 427 (Ronald Regan. Blvd.).. As the region transitions from a primarily auto dependent transportation system to a more multi-modal system, the transportation system will experience growth. pains. For example, as development with sufficient density and intensity to support transit is approved., the more urban areas, such as Longwood, are expected fo experience increased congestion levels. These increased congestion .levels will actually benefit the implementation of the regional vision by making transit a more attractive alternative travel mode. As congestion .increases, the percentage of traffic occurring in the peak hour is expected to decrease (represented by lower K factors) and the directionality of traffic is expected. to become more balanced (represented by lower D factors). For example, 200$ traffic counts on SR 434 by Seminole County identified K factors ranging from 7.7% to 9.0%. As congestion increases in the future, These are expected to reduce to around 7.5%. Similarly, the existing D factors range from 50..9% to 64.g% and they are expected to average around 52% in the future. The anticipated increases in congestion are illustrated in Tables 2-$ and 2-9. Although the- daily conditions show poor levels of service on all roadways., the peak hour conditions determine- if the congestion is at unacceptable levels of service. Based on projected 2025 peak hour conditions, the following roads are projected to operate below their adopted LOS: o SR 434; September 14, 2009 19 The City of Loncl~vood A®®PTI®ILI PIJ~LIC HEA131V~G ®RAFT FAR~~ased Arv~endrnent CR 427; o EE Williamison (from Rangeline Road to L;~ke Emma Road); and, Rangeline Road.. The following steps will be taken to address the projected deficiencies on these roadways: o SR 434 The City will monitor the, LOS on this roadway using travel time runs conducted by Seminole County each year. As previously described, if and when this roadw~~y is determined to operate below its adopted LOS, the City will initiate studies to determine improvements 'neE~dE+d to achieve and maintain the adopted LOS. o CR 427 This north-south roadway serves travel demands which will also be served by SunRail. The LOS for this roa~~way will be allowed to drop below its current LOS in an effort to encourage tr;~vel on SunRail. The actual operating LOS will be monitored and the LOS standard will be lowered (through a future comprehensive plan amendment) if needed.. EE Williamson (from Rangeline Road to Lake Emma Road) - It is possible that this short section of EE Williamson can K~rovide acceptable levels of service by the implementation of intersection improvements at Rangeline Road and Lake Emma Road. This section will be monitored to determine if and when an improvement is warranted. o Rangeline Road -This north-south roadway serves travel demands which will also be served by SunRail. The LOS for this roadway will be allowed to drop below its current LOS in an effort to encourage travel on SunRail. The actual operating L:OS will be monitored and the LOS standard will be lowered (through a future comprehensive ,plan amendment) if needed. Transportation Planning,Approach Traditionally, congestion problems are addressE:d with either supply-side or demand- side strategies. Supply side strategies may in~~lude tactics such as building more roads to increase capacity. Demand-side strategies m;~y include tactics such as encouraging more ridesharing among commuters or the use of alternative modes of transportation. As part of the Comprehensive Plan update, th~~ City has begun to take. a proactive approach to addressing mobility needs within the City using both supply-side and demand-side strategies. The City has pro,po~;ecl numerous objectives and policies to move towards a multi-modal transportation system, thereby reducing the City's dependence on the automobile. This includes, but is not limited to: Balancing land use and transportation; , Improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities; Coordinating with other transportation al~encies; Improving transit facilities; September 14, 2000 20 The City of Longwood ADOPTI®~ PUBLIC I~EARIIV(3 ®I~AFT EAI~~~ased Amendment © Initiating additional LYNX service; and, Supporting the Central Florida Commuter Rail .Line, SunRail. This approach will be used to address potential future deficiencies in the operation of the transportation network. As Longwood continues to address greater mobility for pedestrians, the roadway network should be analyzed for access or movement issues.. The Federal Highway Administration has documented the ,most significant barriers to pedestrian movement. These include long crossing distances, short signal timing, lack of curb ramps, and medians and islands without curb ramps or cut-throughs. The greatest risk to pedestrians occurs as the number of lanes or the number average daily trips increase. Multi-lane roadways with a high traffic volume are -the most difficult roadways for pedestrian crossings. Some solutions include restricted right turns on red, center median with refuge for pedestrians, reduction in crossing distances, .reduction in traffic speeds, and mid-block crossings. F. Concurrency IVtanagement The City of Longwood has established a concurrency management system. This system is in place to ensure that specified public facilities and services are available to meet the needs of growth and development. An essential requirement ofi the State's local government comprehensive planning law has termed the service "con'currency" requirement. Paraphrasing Chapter 1.63.3202, F.S., each county and municipality must ensure key public facilities and services (i.e., the transportation system.) achieve and maintain their LOS standards and are available when needed for the development. F. Internal Consistency within the Comprehensive Plan This element was developed consistent with the other elements of the City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan, particularly the Future Land Use Element. As noted throughout this element, the analysis of the future transportation system for the City was based upon the vision of Longwood as expressed within the goals, objectives and polices of the Comprehensive Plan anal reflected on the Future Land Use Map (PLUM). .1 September 14, 2009 21 The City of L®nclw®od ~,®®PTI®~1 PUBLIC HEARING ®RAFT EAR~Eased Amendment ~ 4.3 FU`fURE L.AN® USE ELEiViEl~1T 4.3.1 Introduction Data and analysis for the Future Land Use EIemE;nt (FLUE) includes updated-population projections for the new planning timefrarries of 2014 and .2025, an existing land use inventory, and a projection of the future land use needs for Longwood during the planning timefran-ies. 4.3.2 Planning 1~imeframes The planning time periods for the EAR-bas~~d comprehensive plan amendment are 2014 and 202.5. 4.3.3 Populati®n Projections The population projections are updated for they n~,w planning timeframes in Table 4.3.3- 1. These population projections replace the information in the existing FLUE data and analysis. Between 1990 and 2000, Longwood's population increased by 429 people (3.2%) while the County population increased by 77,667, ar ~ipproximately 27 percent. In 2007, the Florida Department of Revenue estimated Longwood's population to be 14,062. The City adopted changes to the FLUE in 2007 to provide for areas of mixed use and increased residential densities to accommodate changes based on the location of the ~ SunRail system and station, population projections, and redevelopment needs2. Some additional growth within. Longwood is anticii;~ated through increased residential densities. Therefore, population projections far 2014 and 2025 are based on a percentage of the overall growth expected 'in Serninole County. See Appendix A for the population projection methodology.

These are: 1. Continued population growth in Seminole County and the seven county region of Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Volusia Counties. Documented studies show that. developable land is in short.. supply in Seminole County if development continues at current densities.3 2. The regional roadway network is functioning near or shave level of service capacities. This includes segments of SR 434 and Longwood Hills Road within the city limits. Currently, Seminole County transportation modeling shows widening of SR 434 and CR 427 by 2025. Plans are currently underway to widen SR 434 from I-4 to Rangeline Road. 3, Construction of the Centraf Florida Commuter Rail System, SunRail, beginning in 2009 with completion in 2011, will impact SR 434 and CR 427. A rail station is scheduled for construction in Longwood near the intersection of CR 427 and Church Avenue, just north of SR 434. Regi®nal Context. The SunRail system is scheduled to begin construction of Phase I, from DeBary to Sand Lake Road (a total of 31 miles) in 2009 with completion scheduled for 2011. This construction includes a train station in Longwood at the intersection of the railroad and Church Avenue, north of SR 434 and east. of CR 427: The station and rail system can be expected to impact both development patterns and transportation movements. This can be a positive change for Longwood, Seminole County, and the region. The City of Longwood has 620 acres in the Wekiva Study Area which lies on the west side of its jurisdiction.. The Wekiva Study Area was designated as part of the Wekiva Parkway and Protection .Act of 2'004. The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act was initiated to provide protection. of the Wekiva River system with the construction of the Wekiva parkway. Within the Wekiva Study Area; the focus is to promote open space, protect areas of high recharge, and develop water supply and water conservation and reuse strategies. The City's plan was amended in 2005 and 2006 to incorporate the Wekiva Study Area (Ordinances 05-1774 and 06-1817). The- City of Longwood is part of the East-Central Florida Water Supply Planning Initiative. The planning initiative was begtan in 2002 for Brevard, Orange, Volusia, and Seminole counties, and parts of Lake, Marion, Polk, Sumter, Osceola, .and Flagier counties. The St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) developed a district water supply plan in 2000 that concluded that the East-Central Florida area does not have sufficient groundwater supplies to meet the anticipated demands. In .February 2008, the City became part of the Central Florida Coordination Area where future withdrawals of groundwater, the traditional source of potable water in the region, will be limited beginning in 2013. The development of-the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision was begun in 1999 by 18 public and private organizations.. The historic growth of the seven-county region, the projected limitations of the regional roadway network, and the effect of continued growth on the environment led to this regions( effort.

These studies are located online at myregion.org. The seven-county region includes Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Volusia Counties. Regional population projections from this collaborative were basE~d on the 2000 population of 3.05 rnillion. The projections f'or the region are: 5.3 million people by 2030 and 7.2 million people by 2050. County Conteact. Longwood is one of sevE:n municipalities within Seminole County. The land area in Longwood is less than two percent of the total land area in Seminole County.. The County has a total area of 220,.703 acres. The PennDesign Cenfral f=lorida study, prepared as part of the Regional Growth Vision, found that 76,370 acres of land in Seminole County were already developed out of 161,167 available acres. Furthermore, this study stated that Seminole County is running out of developable land.4 Findings in the Seminole County Plan, Vision 2020, conclude that the population projections by the Bureau of Economic Research based on past growth trends cannot be accommodated at current densities. The County projects a population of 500;582 by 2025. The existing roadway system in Seminole Coiani:y is a major factor in Longwood's future development. Longwood is framed by InterstatE:-4 on its western boundary and US 17- 92 on the east. SR 434, running east to west through Longwood, links I-4 and US 17-92 as well as SR 417 farther east. US 17-92 was the only north-south corridor in the ~ County until the construction of I-4. Where development once centered on US 17-92 throughout the County, the interchanges ~iloing 1-4 have become focal points for development. Segments of SR 434 through L_origwood have been operating above the adopted FDOT IE;vel of service standard sine: 1992. Seminole County intends to focus its resources on multimodal transportation. The Seminole County Plan is committed to greater coordination between land use planning and transportation planning, to a wider range of mobility choices, and to increased consideration of mixed used development.5 In the long term, the local governments within Central Florida have agreed to implement a Regional Growi~`h Vision which includes an expanded multi-modal approach to meeting future transportation needs. In Longwood, this will include the implementation of SunRail, with a station to be located north of SR 434 and east of CR 427 (Ronald Reagan Blvd.). As the region transitions from a primarily auto dependent transportation system to a more multi-modal system, the transportation system will experience growth pains. For example, as development with sufficient density and intensity to support transit is approved, the more urban area~c, such as Longwood., are expected to experience increased congestion levels. These increased congestion levels will benefit the implementation of the regional vision by rnalcing transit a more attractive alternative travel mode. C. Future Land lJse deeds Existing land use.

In 2007., the City estimated that there were approximately 242 acres of vacant land within the city limits. Based on the 2007 ratio of land use acres to population, the acreage needed in each major land use category is projected in Table 3- 4. The projected population cannot be accommodated within the city limits using current density and intensity levels. This realization has led to a reexamination of how the city will grow in the future.

See Appendix B for methodology. Future Land Use. As shown in Table 3-4, the projected population and nonresidential land uses cannot be sustained at the same level of past development. This projection analysis is consistent- with the City's expectation that current densities and intensities cannot be continued. Interest has been expressed for more dense development along ~ the commercial corridors within the City. Therefore; in 2007, the City amended its Plan to provide for the conversion of land to mixed use land use categories. The mixed-use land use categories in Longwood are based .upon.. several factors: the SunRail commuter rail system, the need for opportunities to re-establish traditional design characteristics,, and the need to ensure sustainable development throughout the City to foster economic stability.. The City of Longwood wishes to guide and direct the. changes that are expected, through the mixed-use land use categories that will respond to the new trends that are already emerging and the demands for appropriate locations for growth, especially housing and retail associated with transit stations. The City anticipates that its existing vacant residential land, estimated at approximately 111 acres, will. develop according to existing densities; the majority of these vacancies are located in scattered, platted lots. It is anticipated that land in the nonresidential categories wilt be converted to mixed use categories. The application of mixed use land use categories, in appropriate locations, will allow more intense development to support downtown redevelopment, transit oriented development, and economic development in commercial and industrial locations. The residential. densities within the mixed use categories range from a minimum of 25 units per acre to a maximum of 50 units per acre as well as providing for a mixture of other uses. These disfiricts are available to be assigned as requested and approved. It is this conversion of land that will make it possible to accommodate the forecast population. There are no changes proposed on the FLUM in the EAR-based amendment.

State law provides :hat electric substations may be excluded from conservation and historic preservation categories. 4.3.7 Hazard Ililitigation Plans Seminole County established a multi-jurisdictional task force to address planned responses to potential natural disasters in Octok~er 199.5. The Task Force is comprised of representatives from Seminole County, each of the seven municipalities in the county, and various other agencies and organizations. According to the. Seminole County Plan, this group developed the Local Mi~`igation Strategy (LMS) to minimize the impacts of natural disasters that might occur wii:hin the County. The first edition of the Seminole County LMS was issued on October 3'I , 1999. The LMS was updated in 2003 and the Task Force continues to meet periodically to review the LMS strategies. An individual mitigation plan for the City 'was 'developed as part of the overall Local Mitigation Strategy. A review of this plan shows that the highest ranked hazards for Longwood are lightning, crime., major fire-urban, and flooding. The Plan contains policies that address fire and flooding. There ar~~ no other policies needed at this time relative to develo~oment or redevelopment within the City. The individual mitigation plan continues to be implemented by the City. In addition., Longwood has an interlocal agreement with Seminole County for emerge:nc:y response coordination referenced in the Intergovernmental. Coordination Element. l~he agreement provides for continued participation with 'the County in achieving the go~ils of the Local Mitigation Strategy. 4..3.8 Neighborhood Protection Protecting existing residential neighborhoods and ensuring compatibility between the different land uses is an important compon~an~~: of the land development process in Longwood. Access between residential neighborhoods and other land use districts is an issue raised in the Evaluation and Appraisal R~~port (EAR) in 2000. One way to both protect existing residential areas and to pravi~le better accessibility is to enable or enhance pedestrian and bicycle access. Thi;c alternative accessibility is anticipated in the Housing Element, Objective II, Policy E. New development may use traditional neig,hbarh~~od design standards or may choose to select one of the imixed use districts. These mixed use districts may be requested where appropriate. Such new developments may.:; when designed, allow a combination of uses and a greater degree of .accessibility or dependence on alternative transportation modes. A second issue raised in the EAR was ithe al'oility to achieve neighborhood identify through the use of a focal point or central gai:hering area. The Plan is amended to provide. a process that will allow neighborhood associations to select, design, and implement such designs. This may be ach'ievc>d through: 1. Developing aform-based land development code that allows a specific ~ neighborhood to set its own design guidelines; or 2. Implementing an urban design, ovE:rl~~y for an existing neighborhood to allow narrower streets, wider sidewa'Iks, more open space and focal point. September 14, 2009 28 The City of Longwood A®OPYI®N PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT' EAR-used Amendment 4.3.9 Corridor Development.Areas The EAR recommended that the City consider the development of design standards for corridor designation, in the following areas: 1. Interconnections betvueen and within neighborhoods and major highways; 2. Ingress and egress to major highways; 3. Shared parking and stormwater facilities for projects within the development area; 4. Open space standards; and, 5. Design guidelines for property acquired during the r-o-w acquisition process The Future Land Use Element contains several policies to guide development along designated corridors. Designated corridor planning areas are one means of protecting existing, identified landmarks; structures, and streetscapes. Community design standards for specified corridors include landscaping; signs, .anal building site design. Future development along designated corridors is addressed through policies for mixed use gateway and transit corridor mixed use districts. All mixed use districts shall include shared parking facilities, pedestrian connections among buildings and uses, provisions for shared access or interconnections between uses, and design features to ensure compatibility at the boundary of the mixed-use districts. Furthermore., existing policies envision shared infrastructure, open space, and sfreetscape design during road improvement planning along designated corridors. In combination with open space requirements through the site development and design ~ process, the Plan is clearly committed to implementation of open space standards. Plan policies also exist for interconnections between and within neighborhoods and major highways and ingress and egress to those highway corridors. Design guidelines for right-of-way acquisition are strengthened in the Plan. Such guidelines may include the use of property for shared parking, open space, and stormwater management facilities. These guidelines apply to the designated corridors and may be used to coordinate with roadway projects planned by the county, METROPLAN ORLANDO, or the state. 4.3.10 Energy Conservati®n Resources A new statutory requirement (House Bill 697) to address energy conservation became effective on July 1, 2005. This 'legis'lation includes changes to comprehensive plan requirements in Sec. 163.3177, F.S. The Future Land Use Element is required to discourage urban sprawl, to include energy-efficient .land use patterns accounting for existing and future electric power generation and transmission systems, and to include strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Because Longwood is considered built-out, changes in land use patterns and building efficiencies through design will occur slowly as redevelopment occurs. The greatest potential for affecting energy consumption is within the transportation sector. This is consistent with studies and research indicating that transportation uses 28-33 percent of energy nationwide and that transportation uses generate 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Florida. The Future. Land Use Element contains provisions that discourage urban sprawl, allow energy-efficient land use patterns accounting for existing and future electric power generation and transmission systems, and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas September 14, 2009 29 The City of Longwood _~,®OPTION PIJELIC HEAI~INO ®RAPT I~AR-used Amendment emissions. Maps T-5 and T-7 show the bicycle trails, transit systems, and bus routes that provide alternative transportation choices in Longwood and conserve renewable energy resources. The City has bicycle trails, transit systems, arrd bus routes that are shown on Map T-5 and T-7 in Section 5 of this data and analysi:~. In order to maximize these multi-modal transportation systems, the City's mixed u:;e land use categories allow increased densities and intensities and opportunities for mi:ced use developments. The opportunity to increase density and intensifiy in appropriate locations is a significant factor in merging land use planning with transportati~~n system design to maximize the conservation of energy and achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. One of the City's goals is to reduce dependence on the Traditional single-occupancy vehicle and the need to provide ever-wider streets and highways. PECREATION AN® OPEN SPACE ELEl49ENT The EAR recommended that the City consider amending the Recreation Element to include waterways with public access to the invE~ntory of neighborhood and community parks. Because there are no public boat dock: or boat ramps, the City does not include the lake acreage at this time. 4.4.1 Recreation and Open Space The City continues to maintain and up-grade fa~;ilities within its existing parks and has added a small park (Magnolia) to its inventory of mini parks. Because Longwood is built- out, there are few opportunities for increasing p~irk acreage. The goals, objectives, and policies of the element have been met and cor~tiriue to provide the appropriate guidance for future needs. No changes to the goals, objE~ctives, and policies are needed in this EAR-based amendment. 4.4.2 Level of Service Evaluation The City's level oi~ service standard for recreation and open space is 0.2 acres per 1,000 persons for mini parks and 3.5 acres per 1,000 persons in neighborhood and community parks. Longwood's population in 200'7 was estimated to be 14,062. The Cifiy has approximately 5 acres located in five mini ~?arks; this e><ceeds the level of service standard requirement of 3.3 acres through the 2025 planning period. There are 346 acres of land in neighborhood and community parks. The level of service for neighborhood and community parks shows a need. for 58 acres through 2025; with 346 acres of neighborhood and community parks, there are no unmet needs through 2025.

Affordable and !~lorkforce Housing The City recognizes the importance of provid,ing• locations for affordable housing and workforce housing. Therefore, policies in the Housing Element provide residential densities that enable the provision of a variety of housing in areas adjacent to, or within '/4 mile of the commuter .rail station and economic development target areas, such as SR 434 and US 17-92. The. City has an infill designation process in its land development regulations that allow single-family detached units to be constructed on small parcels.. This is achieved through. flexibility in dimensional standards to allow construction of traditional fee-simple ownership while minimizing land costs. In addition, the future land use categories do not ~ prohibit sites for use for affordable housing. Goals, objectives and policies are modified to address,: 1. Guidelines for maintaining affordability over time 2. Consider the use of job training, .job creation, and other ecanomic solutions to address, affordable housing, based on strategies adopted by Seminole County and the other municipalities E. Housing Land Needs The land area needed to meet the future demand for housing is projected in Table 7-11 using the 2007 density of .housing units per acre. At current densities, approximately 357 acres o.f land are needed to accommodate the projected housing units. It is anticipated that the completion of the commuter rail system and the diminishing supply of available land will result in conversion of land uses to accommodate the forecast population.

A. Public Sc!ho®Is The Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency interlocal agreement was adopted in 2007 and amended in January 2C)OCI. This agreement includes the process for school concurrency and ensuring that school capacity is available as needed by new developments in accordance with state law. B. 11Vater Quality An interlocal agreement between the County and the municipalities within the County was signed in 2007 to provide streamlined intergovernmental cooperation and funding opportunities for dealing with total maximum daily load issues. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is calculation of the maximum ~~mount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. C. Countywide !I!later Supply Planning The City of Longwood is a signatory in this interlocal agreement with Seminole County and all other municipalities within the County, bo:ginning in 2004. This group developed a county-level plan, The Seminole County VI/a~`er Supply Plan, to address alternative water supply resources. The plan was completed in March 2007.

A formal request September 14, 2009 40 'The City of Longwood A®®PTION PUBLIC HEARIiVC ®~Ai=T EAR~~ased Amendment was made to terminate the interlocal agreement with Longwood and the City agreed in October 20Og, The Citywill maintain the .current level of median landscaping. 4.3.2 Coordinating Mechanisms A. J®int Planning Technical Advisory Committee. (PTAC) In 1997, the County, County municipalities and the School Board established the Joint Planning Technical Advisory Committee. This advisory committee enhances intergovernmental coordination of comprehensive plan programs and helps ensure consistency between these programs and on issues of multi-jurisdictional concern. One County planner, one School board planner and one City planner'from each municipality make up the committee. .Although Longwood, is not a signatory/ to the interlocal agreement, City staff participates on the committee. 13. Hazard Mitigation The City participates in a countywide hazard mitigation team, called The Seminole County Mitigation 20/20 Task Force. This is amulti-jurisdictional group that develops the Local Mitigation Strategy in a cooperative approach. More details are provided in the Future Land Use Element, Section 4..3.7. 4.8.3 f`ffectiveness of Coordinating Illiechanisms Other interlocal agreements and coordination mechanisms exist to coordinate items such as: 1. First response and mutual aid agreements for public safety 2. Annexation of enclaves 3. Collection of local business faxes 4. Provisions for early voting Some of these agreements have been in effect for a number of years as is the case for the annexation of enclaves; this interlocal agreement was established in 1991 and continues in effect. Others are enacted or updated as needed to provide for newly legislated services such as provisions for early voting, an arrangement agreed to between the City and the County Supervisor of Elections. An inventory of existing coordination mechanisms is contained in Exhibit IGC: Existing Coordination Mechanisms with Adjacent Counties and Municipalities and Exhibit IGC: Existing Coordination Mechanisms with Municipalities within Seminole County. These may be found on the Seminole County website within the Planning Department's list of documents.

The City of Longwood actively promotes ifs hist~~ric district as one of the focal paints in the City's past and future development. ~Th~~ eistrict. is approximately 190 acres and contains 37 conti~ibuting structures. The historic district was designated in the National Register of Historic Places in October 19!x0. Since its designation, the City has implemented standards within the district u:~in~~ the Historic District Codebook. This Codebook provides a comprehensive set o~~ design standards for development applications withiin the historic district. In 2007, the City selected ACi consultants to review the Codebook and the process for development and redevelopment within the Historic District. This led to the designation of the Downtown Historic District on the PLUM in the 2007 plan amendment. The: revie~,~ process included public meetings to identify issues and visions for the future. The Historic District Master Plan was adopted in 2002 and provides general templates for infrastructure design to be used as a guidEaine for improvements. V1/hile no schedule of improvements 'was adopted, sidewalk installatt~on, bricking of streets and intersections have been accomplished as needed when funds are :available. This ,program will continue as funds are available within the City's :street paving program. While the City has been successful in implementing improvements and guiding design within the historic district, the proposed tax abatement ordinance was not adopted.

Because Longwood 'is not classified as an area of high potential for archeological sites, such an assessment is not necessary.10 In the overall land use plan, the downtown historic district is the link between the commuter rail station and other land use sectors. The downtown historic district is not only located in the central part of Longwood', it is an integral part of the City's goal to develop a sustainable community. The district is located in close proximity to the planned commuter rail station and with the proposed pedestrian links and it is a significant destination in its own right. The Future Land lJse Element envisions the use of mixed use districts, of which the historic district is one, to blend residential, civic, office, governmental and commercial uses to maximize the existing public facilities and services, and to provide the opportunity for economic growth and development, As the City grows and changes, the historic district should continue to be the heart of the City. 10 Seminole County Vision 2020, FLiIE page 5.

The City's share of the total county population was 4.6% in 1990 anal 3.8% in 2000, based on decennial census information for those years. Since 2000, the City's share of the total county population has continued to decrease. Estimates in 2006 and 2007, however, show that the population estimates for both years represent 3.3% of the total county population.~~ With the advent of the SunRail in 2011 however, some additional ,population is anticipated based primarily on increased residential densities. Therefore, the City's population is projected based on a 3.3% share of ' Seminole County's projected population.12 These projections represent a total increase of 2,457 persons, from 2007 through 2.025. dotes 1. The City of Longwood's 2007 estimated population, by the Florida Department of Revenue, is 14,.062,. compared to an estimate of 425,455 for Seminole County. 2.

The City's response follows each recomm~:ndation. The Longwood EAR-Based Amendment is attached to this response and includes the changes as indicated with double strike-through and double-tanderlin'ing. ®RC tJbiection 1: Future Land LJse Ma'ta ®bjection: The Department objected that the City did; no~k include an updated Future Land Use. Map reflecting the proposed planning horizons of 2014 and 2025. (Sec. 163.3177(2), (5)(a), (6)(a), (8), and ('10), F.S., and Rule 9J-5.0:0504)(5), F.A.C. Response: The City has prepared the Future Land Use Map for the planning horizons, 2014 and 2025. The map is included with this responsE~ and is inserted into the City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan. See Section 4,3.4; e~:isling land use and Section 4.3.5, future Jand use analysis in the data and analysis for' discussion of the future land use map. As ~ noted in the data. and analysis, there are n~o changes being made to the map. ®RC ®biection 2: Conservation Eleme'r~t ®bjectio~: The Department objected that. there are no prai?osed amendments to the Conservation Element to include factors that affect energy/ conservation efforts. (Sec. 163.3177(2), (6)(a, b, c, d, and (8), and (10), F.S. Response: A number. of factors affect the use of, ener~~y. On a nationwide scale, the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, has categorized energy use into three categories: Industrial; Transportatian; and Buildings (both residential and commercial). Buildings consume approximatE~ly 39 percent of energy use in the United States with industrial uses consuming 32 pera~nt and Transportation 29 percent'. In Florida, studies show that the largest category of energy use is the transportation sector, consuming approximately 40 percent of the total energy used in the state. The majority of the. policies in the Longwood EAR-loased amendment are directed toward increasing the efficiency of the transportation system and developing alternative means of #ransportation. ' 1 U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration. 2008. September 3; 2009 1 City of Longwood ~ ®RAFT ®RC Response Amendment 09-1 ER Longwood's adopted comprehensive plan contains policies relating to energy ~ conservation through site design, pedestrian and bicycle access, and mixed use land use categories to allow a mix of uses, providing an alternative to single-use, energy intensive development. The plan also includes water conservation policies, and provides for the maintenance and enhancement of open space and vegetation, including trees. These policies are found in the following elements: FLUE Objective II, Policies B, C, and D; Overall Goal, Objective III; Land Use Districts, Objective III; Residential Neighborhood Protection, Objective II, Policy C, Objective IV, Policies B and C; Conservation Element, Objective I, Policy C; Objective VI, Policies A-F; and, Goal II, Objective II. The data and analysis in the EAR-based amendment includes a discussion of energy conservation factors in the ~ Future Land Use Element, Section 4.3.10. This section summarizes the City's approach to energy conservation, including land use patterns, mixed use districts, and alternative transportation strategies.
