CITY OF LONGWOOD, FLORIDA C01111PREHENSIVE PLAN INTRODUCTION The City of Longwood has adopted and periodically amended a comprehensive plan to guide and direct public and private development within the City. Fundamental principles in this plan .are the protection of neighborhoods, adherence to quality design that enhances the appearance and function of the City, and encouragement of businesses as good neighbors. This plan was first adopted and found in compliance in 1993.. The plan has been amended on only a few occasions - in 1995, 1996, and 1997. After completion of an evaluation of the plan (Evaluation and Appraisal Report) in 1998-1999, amendments were proposed in 2000 and adopted in 2001. Further amendments to adopt the remaining recommendations of the EAR nr° `arlnn+°rJ h°r°in were adopted in 2002. The Wekiya Parkway and Protection Act was enacted into law on June 29, 2004, as a means of~rotecting surface water and groundwater resources within the Wekiva River Basin and for the construction of the Wekiva Parkway. This Act established both a protection area and a study area. The western portion of the City of ,--~ Lon~,wood is within the Wekiva Study Area. Of the issues required to be addressed in the le~i.slation three of these are included in this proposed amendment packag_e~' stormwater management goals objectives, and policies a water supply facilities work plan; and a review of land use strategies to optimize open space and promote patterns of development that protect most effective recharge areas, karst features, and sensitive natural habitats. The interchange portion of the Act is not applicable to the City of~wood. The wastewater facilities plan is likewise not applicable as the City does not have responsibilityfor any wastewater treatment facilities. The Citesprovides water conservation and reuse strategies within the Goals, Objectives and Policies. BACKGROUND The original Volume One contains background information for the Longwood Comprehensive Plan (called Plan). That background information was updated through the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) and in a report entitled "Data and Analysis to Support the 2002 Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan". Supplemental information w_#as also been provided with each plan amendment. Further, the City relies on data, as needed, from the SJRWMD, ECFRPC, FDEP, Seminole County, BEBR, Metroplan Orlando, and other regional,. state, and federal agencies to address planning issues within the City and to support plan amendments. .-. << ORDINANCE N0.05-1774 1 Amendment: February 6, 2006 Underlining denotes new text; strike-through indicates deleted text; double-underlining indicates revised text in response to the DCA ORC Report..

City of Longwood Data and Analysis Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment ~o ITl~®DLTCTI®I~ 7'he We~~a P~°~~ay ~nc~Pr®tecti®~ Act Tl~e Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act (Act) was enacted into law on June 29, 2004, as a means of protecting surface water and groundwater resources within the Wekiva River Basin and for the construction of the Wekiva Parkway. This Act established both a protection area and a study area. The western portion of the City of Longwood is within the Wekiva Study Area. Of the issues required to be addressed by the affected local governments, three of these are included in this proposed amendment package stormwater management goals, objectives, and policies; a water supply facilities work plan; and a review of land use strategies to optimize open space and promote patterns of development that protect most effective. recharge areas, karst features, and sensitive natural habitats. The interchange portion of the Act is not applicable to the City of Longwood. The wastewater facilities plan is likewise not applicable, as the City does not have responsibility for operating the sewage treatment facilities. The City does provide water conservation and reuse strategies within the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. 17®czz~e.~t~t~®n The original 1991-1996 Volume One contains background information for the City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan (called Comprehensive Plan). That background information was updated through the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) and a report entitled "Data and Analysis to Support the 2002 Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan." The City relies on data, as needed, from the SJRWMD, ECFRPC, FDEP, Seminole County, BEBR, Metroplan Orlando, and other regional, state, and federal agencies to address planning issues within the City and to support plan amendments. This report, entitled "Data and Analysis to Support the 2005 Wekiva Study Area Amendment to the Longwood Comprehensive Plan," provides the support documentation for the proposed goals, objectives, and policies that are needed to revise the Plan for consistency with the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act and the water supply planning requirements. Additional support documents used in the preparation of this report are listed in the Bibliography.

OPEN SPACE AlV.[ENI~1~//IENT Ir~tr®dzzcti®n The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act requires that local governments within the Wekiva Study Area establish land use strategies that optimize open space and promote patterns of development to protect the most effective recharge areas, karst features, and sensitive natural habitats. These strategies are to be adopted into the Comprehensive Plan. Existing data contained in the Department of Community Affairs, Guidelines for Pz°eparing Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the Wekiva Study Area (Guidelines and the City's Comprehensive Plan was used to determine if the City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan had sufficient, up-to-date data and analysis a consistency review of the goals, objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan was also .prepared and is provided within this document. Natzrral lies®z~ces Most Effective Recharge Areas The City has mapped the natural groundwater recharge areas within the City of Longwood, based on data from the St. Johns River Water Management District, October 2001. The Wekiva Study Area boundary has been added to this map. The most effective recharge areas, as identified on this map, are those identified in the Recharge Range over 12 inches. According to the Guidelines, the most effective recharge. areas for the Wekiva Study Area will be determined in SJRWMD's rulemaking process. In the meantime, +~,,, , ,.,a.,+;,,r ;,, +~,.,++~,,, City has used Type "A" Hydrologic Soil Group, found in SJRWMD's Applicant's Handbook- Management and Storage of Surface Water, as the .basis for. the most effective recharge areas.

This lack of upland habitat data .supports the City's data and analysis which shows the area is largely built out with only scattered infill sites within developed areas. According to the 2005. Florida Managed Areasl and other major conservation databases, it appears that Longwood does not contain any areas of conservation .interests. All areas in red are areas of conservation interests for 2005. As the map shows, no areas are within the .City limits of Longwood. ~K~~ The only known existing natural habitat area in the Wekiva Study Area is located in the existing wetlands on the western side of Island Lake, as shown i Florida Natural Areas Inventory, Florida Forever Program at www.fnai.org.

These areas also provide for groundwater recharge within the Wekiva Study Area. The Data and Analysis completed for the City's. Comprehensive Plan in 2002 identifies priorities for protection and contains recommendations for the conservation of remaining wetlands within the City. Karst Features A map of Karst Features for Seminole County has been .prepared by The Florida Geological Survey, DEP. The map is based on the Florida Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment (FAVA) model. The generalized map in Figure 3, Guidelines, is insufficient to determine if significant karst features exist within the City of Longwood. According to City staff, there are no known karst features on undeveloped parcels. . E~st~g.Devel®pz~e~t P~tter~s Existing development patterns in the City of Longwood are a significant factor in evaluating land use strategies to protect the most effective recharge areas, karst features, and sensitive natural habitats. The land within the ~'-` Wekiva Study Area in the City of Longwood is characterized by low density urban development. The majority of vacant land consists of scattered lots available for infill development. Developed and vacant lands data provided by the Department of Community Affairs is summarized in the table below. The City has a total of 612 acres of land in the Wekiva Study Area. This table also identifies the condition of the most effective recharge areas within the Study Area. Only ten (10) acres were undeveloped at the time the data was gathered. A cording to City records. e vacant land is in Drivate ownership with vacant parcels scattered hrou~hout existing residential plats and commercial developments.

Data and analysis in the Longwood Comprehensive Plan establishes that the average residential density in the City of Longwood is 2.9 units per acre. The Future Land. Use Map designates the land within the Wekiva Study Area primarily. as low density residential; some areas of general commercial, conservation and one area of medium density residential near the northeastern Wekiva Study Area boundary make up the remainder of the land uses in the Area. Designating land as low density residential in the most effective recharge areas is one strategy to provide for continued stormwater recharge. ~ S'u~~~;~ ®f'Pr®p®,~ed iend~e~t,~ There are no parks located within the Wekiva Study Area. ®pen space is required on a site-by-site basis and regulated through the. Land Development Code. The City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan, as described in the consistency review at the end of this report, has jurisdiction-wide .goals, objectives, and policies in .place that protect the most effective recharge areas, wetlands,. and natural habitat areas. These apply also to the Wekiva. Study Area. Minimal changes to the goals, objectives, and policies are proposed for the protection of open space in response to the Act. Maps in the Future Land Use Element will be readopted to show the Wekiva Study Area boundary. Similarly, policy changes to cite the Wekiva Study Area will be made. The existing pattern of development and near build-out conditions in the Study Area limit the availability of significant parcels for acquisition, clustering, or protection through conservation easements and limit the applicability of significant policy changes. When individual sites- are proposed for development, soil testing and other appropriate methods will be used to identify the presence of sinkholes so that appropriate measures can be taken.

This is done on a City-wide basis, which includes the Wekiva Study Area. The Stormwater Utility ®rdinance provides .the basis for fees that are paid into the Stormwater Management Fund. This fund pays for inspections, monitoring, and cleaning of the Stormwater facilities to insure proper functioning. The City has also developed aCity-wide drainage infrastructure map as part of its GIS program. The Fund is managed by the City through its annual budget process expenditure of these funds may include capital projects. Control of Pollutants As part of the stormwater management program, City staff monitors stormwater discharges for pollutants such as wastewater, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. To date, there are no "non stormwater" discharges within the City or the Wekiva Study Area. Treatment standards are applied to privately owned properties through a requirement for on-site stormwater .retention during the site plan review process. Flood control projects must also conform to treatment performance ~ standards set forth in the State Water Policy. For pollutants related to pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, the City requires that all applicators provide evidence of proper certification and licensing prior to any application on public properties. In addition, the City provides training for City staff so that they are able to identify and report conditions that may indicate the presence of discharges that adversely affect. stormwater run-off, and that would adversely affect both surface and groundwater resources. The City provides funding to Seminole County for updating the Hazardous Materials Plan and household Hazardous Waste outreach. Both of these programs are conducted by Seminole County on a Countywide basis, including the City of Longwood. Best Management Practices Best Management Practices (BMPs) are included in the City's Comprehensive Plan to protect both surface and groundwater. The site plan process is used to ensure that new stormwater management .systems adhere to the treatment performance standards set forth in the State Water Policy and the provisions in the Comprehensive Plan. Construction sites are required to minimize the offsite impacts from stormwater pollution. r-~ Preconstruction meetings are held to provide NPDES educational materials to applicants and site operators to ensure that the appropriate procedures are ORC Revisions December 9, 2005 Underlining denotes new text; strike-through indicates deleted text; double-underlining indicates revised text in response to the DCA ORC Report.

Comprehensive Plan policies include the use of berms around lakes, setbacks from wetlands, on-site retention, landscaping in parking lots, actions to prevent direct discharge of untreated stormwater into surface waters from roadways, and a Conservation land use district applied to areas around Island Lake within the Wekiva Study Area. The Wekiva Study Area may also benefit from implementation of BMPs for golf courses, primarily in the areas of construction and management. Following completion of the Stormwater Master Plan, any additional measures ,identified by the Master Plan will be included in the Comprehensive Plan. GIS Map .Data The Community Services Department for the City of Longwood maintains a GIS that includes roads, topography, land use, environmental features, major drainage basins, water service areas, wells, treatment plants, and sewer service areas, and wastewater treatment plants. All known municipal storm sewer system outfalls discharging to waters of the United States have been mapped as part of the GIS data base. Ten {10) outfalls have been mapped. '~ Capital Project Information There are no capital drainage facility projects identified in ..the Comprehensive Plan or the City's adopted budget in the Wekiva Study Area. A possible project to address flooding issues involving Rock Lake in the northern .portion of the WSA may be added to the CIP within the 10-year planning period, based on findings in the Stormwater Master Plan.

WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN Introduction In 2002, the Florida Legislature amended the state requirements for growth management planning by local governments to include requirements for coordinated- water supply planning. The City of Longwood is required to ont this -oortion of the comprehensive elan amendment by December 1. 2006 has revised by F.S. Section 369.321) e~p~T~~~y-'~~~, as part of the Wekiva Study Area adopted by the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act of 2004. The City of Longwood is also part of the East-Central Florida Water Supply Planning Initiative. The planning initiative was begun in 2002 for Brevard, Orange, Volusia, and Seminole counties, and parts of Lake, Marion, Polk, Sumter, Osceola, and Flagler counties. The St. Johns Regional Water Management District (SJRWMD) developed a District Water Supply Plan in 2000 that concluded that the East-Central Florida area does not have sufficient water supplies to meet the anticipated demand by 2020. Because of the demands on the area's water resources and the environmentally sensitive nature of the Wekiva River Basin and associated springsheds, the City of Longwood is in an area in which future water supply planning is critical. The proposed 2005 plan amendment includes goals, objectives, and policies based on the Data and Analysis provided herein. The Water Supply Facilities Work Plan will apply jurisdiction-wide as well as provide for any specific .requirements within the. Wekiva Study Area. The planning period is 2005 to 2020 to coordinate with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Regional Water Supply Plan. Existing Potable Water F~czlities The City of Longwood has two (2) utilities that provide service within the City Limits. These utilities are The City of Longwood and Sanlando Utilities. The service areas are shown on the Comprehensive Plan Reference Map P-l, Water Service Areas. City of Longwood The City of Longwood has an existing water system that is composed of two !`~ (2) water treatment plants and five (5) raw water supply wells. The source of the raw water is the Floridan Aquifer.

Water Treatment Plant #1 has both an elevated storage tank and a ground storage tank. The total capacity for both is 0.7 million gallons. Water Treatment Plant #2 has a ground storage tank with 1.05 million gallons capacity.2 The remainder of the water supply facilities includes the water distribution system, fire hydrants, and customer connections ("taps"). The locations of the water treatment plants are as follows ® Water Treatment Plant # 1 is located at the approximate. center of the City's political boundaries. ® Water Treatment Plant # 2 is located on the western political boundary off Rangeline Road. The water treatment plant locations are shown on Reference Map P-1, Water Service Areas, in the City of Longwood Comprehensive Plan. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection found both water treatment plants to be in good/safe condition as of December 31, 20033. The distribution system has approximately 700 linear feet of raw water supply mains in the City ranging from six (6) to sixteen (16) inches in diameter, approximately seventy (70) miles of water transmission and localized distribution lines ranging from two (2) to sixteen (16) inches in diameter, one 0.2 million gallon (MG) elevated storage tank, one 0.5 MG ground storage tank, and one 1.05 MG ground storage tank. An additional 1.0 MG ground storage tank is planned for construction in 2009/2010. The City of Longwood has. mapped the distribution system as part of its GIS program; the map showing the water lines six (6) inches through twenty-four (24) inches in size is available from the City. The City continues to replace deteriorating asbestos cement (AC) pipe at the rate of 4,000 ft. per year. These replacements are funded through the Public Utilities Fund. Sanlando Utilities. Inc. A portion of the City receives its potable water service from Sanlando Utilities, Inc., a division of Utilities Inc. of Florida.

Both the wells and the treatment plants are located outside of the City. Details regarding City wells and water treatment plants are found in the Background ]document and the Consumptive Use Permit (#160) information. Sanlando Utilities has an application for permit renewal under permit #2-117-160-4 with SJRWMD. Its current Consumptive. Use Permit does not include the area within the City of Longwood however, its current permit application does include this area. The data submitted for the permit does not separate the customers in the City of Longwood from those being served outside the City limits. Sanlando Utilities was contacted for recent data, but no updates have been provided. Because the City is mostly built out, the population served may be estimated using the accounts documented in 1991, plus estimates of increases based on City data since that time. For future growth, Sanlando is projecting an average of forty (40) new connections per year throughout the entire service area4. The area it serves within the City is largely built out. 1'®table T~~ter,S,yste ~S'er~ce ~°ea Ci _ of Longwood ~ The current population within the: City's service area is approximately 14,265 people. Population forecasts have been developed for the service area by SJRWMD. The forecasts prepared by SJRWMD are for 2005 through 2025, based on the .growth trends from 2000 to 2010. The City of Longwood does not serve any customers beyond its City limits. .The City provides water service to single and multifamily homes and commercial/industrial uses. The majority of the land use in the City is residential. There are no self-suppliers within the City Limits. While a few individual homes remain on their own wells, this number is approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) units, a negligible amount in the overall system. Sanlando Utilities The population figures for the-Sanlando service area within the City limits are based on a ratio of the population in 1991 applied to the population projections for the entire service area the SJRWMD figures include a larger service area beyond the City of Longwood. -There is a substantial possibility that this overstates the population in the area because of the lack of buildable lots and a slowly dropping persons per housing unit.5 a RAI, May 6, 2005 s U.S.Census ORC Revisions December 9, 2005 Underlining denotes new text; strike-through indicates deleted text; double-underlining indicates revised text in response to the DCA ORC Report.

SJRWMI) staff have concluded that the drawdown associated with only Longwood's withdrawals would not cause adverse impacts to wetlands, lakes, crops, or other types of vegetation at the requested withdrawal rates. Neither are there any current effects from the drawdown on areas outside the City Limits. The district's staff used the Groundwater Model to evaluate the effect of cumulative water withdrawal on Starbuck Springs, located outside the City Limits; the model indicates future spring flows may be affected over time and that future spring flows should be monitored for actual effects of continued withdrawals.

These include the adoption of a water conservation rate structure, rain sensors on all irrigation systems on public properties, staff training, and public information regarding water conservation measures. The City's Land Development Code encourages the use of xeriscaping techniques, incentives for retaining or using native shrubs and trees, and the requirement that low volume plumbing fixtures be installed in all new construction. The City uses xeriscaping principles in all City-sponsored landscaping projects. The City will continue to implement these water conservation measures and proposes to prohibit the use of master meters on strip mallsl~. The measures provided in the Comprehensive Plan apply City-wide regardless of the service provider. The requirement for the devices described above should be included in the Longwood Development Code as well as the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. S'u~~~,y ®.~'.Pr®p®,~ed e.~c~ie.~ts While there are a number of conditions in the Consumptive Use Permit, the primary focus of implementation is in the area of reuse, even though it is acknowledged that retrofitting may not be feasible during the immediate future.
